Jungle justice prevailsA suspected cable thief at M’tititi village got more than he bargained for when an an-gry crowd of residents followed him to nearby bushes, where

they stripped him naked and beat him severely.

The man had earlier allegedly stolen electricity cables, Bibles and other goods in the village before being surprised by pa-trolling members of the commu-

nity. He managed to outrun them and ended up in neighbouring bushes where he cleaned the cables, making them ready for the market.

He was later located, assaulted and stripped naked and was only

saved by the arrival of several community leaders from the vil-lage. The man, whose age could not be determined, is believed to be from Nkuri village near Giyani.

Information pieced together

at the scene is that two alleged robbers were surprised by the community.

One fl ed and the other one was caught and endured merciless beating by the mob with every-thing at their disposal.

Asked about the incident, M’tititi Civic Association chair-man Phineas Bilankulu said the community had had sleepless nights since the new area was electrifi ed.

Mob justice for alleged cable thief

SANParks official in court again

Asian delegation visit development projects

Continues from page 1

“The Thulamela municipality has not yet switched on the electricity and some of the cables are already being stolen,” he said.

He said members of the community had decided to stem the crime by patrolling at night and this was the reason why the alleged thieves were surprised while they were cleaning the cables after stealing them from a number of households in the area.

According to Mr Harry Vukeya, whose house had been robbed, when the men fled from his home, he thought they would not be caught. “Young peo-ple combed the neighbouring bush and caught them

burning the cables,” said Vukeya. “After hearing that they had been caught, I prayed to God that no one be killed,” he added.

Limpopo police spokesperson Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi confirmed the incident. He said he was concerned that the community had taken the law into their own hands and, according to him, the police knew the man who escaped.

He said the one arrested by the community had been sent to the Malamulele police station, but he was in a serious condition. “We condemn this act of taking the law into their own hands because South Africa is not a banana republic. We will open a case and those identified will be arrested,” he said.

This is not the first incident where the commu-nity of M’tititi has acted in this way. Last year, a resident of Khubvi was given the same medicine by the community as they thought he was behind the incidents of housebreaking in the area. It later emerged that the man was an alleged rhino poacher.

A South Africa National Parks (SANParks) employee, accused of selling illegal hunting pack-ages to game hunters, again appeared in court this week.

Michael Sematla was arrested on 27 January, following several months of investigation by the SANParks Environmental Crime Investigative Unit. Sematla al-legedly sold animals to hunters

by means of fake permits.SANParks first realized some-

thing was wrong when they dis-covered a giraffe carcass in Den Staat, which is an open-system park bordering the Mapungubwe National Park. Sematla was em-ployed as a general worker for the Mapungubwe Park and allegedly used SANParks stationery to mislead professional hunters

and game meat operators to hunt on Den Staat. Permits were allegedly issued for the hunting of leopards as well.

Sematla, who is currently out on bail, appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court on Tues-day. His case was postponed for trial until 29 January 2015 to af-ford his attorney time to prepare his defence.

Court News

Doris Mthembi gets released on bail Doris Mthembi is a free wom-an again.

The 41-year-old Mthembi

turned to the High Court to ask for permission to appeal her sentence. She was handed a six-

year prison stay in November of last year, when she was found guilty of perjury. Mthembi lied to the police when she accused her ex-husband, Mr Goddard Tendani Mugwena, of kidnap-ping and raping her.

She has served just more than a year of her sentence.

Mthembi’s argument for her appeal will be that the Louis Trichardt Regional Court had been too harsh and unfair when it handed down a custodial sentence to her. She further feels that the court did not take into consideration that she has little children that she has to take care of.

On Monday, during a brief court appearance, Mthembi was released on R3 000 bail. If she fails to prove that she has lodged her appeal application with the High Court by 28 January, her bail will be revoked.

Communities and the business fraternity in the Vhembe re-gion are set to benefit hugely from the visit of delegations from Asia and the Middle East, who toured the region’s economic development projects during the past week.

They were entertained during a gala dinner held at Porche Villa hotel near Thohoyandou on Tues-day evening.

“We are a district with agricul-tural value chain development, a mining sector and tourism development. We want the Asian and Middle Eastern delegates to help fund some of our projects, so

that our communities can get job opportunities,” said Executive Mayor Tshitereke Matibe during the event.

According to Matibe, the visit would also help to strengthen the relationship between the Vhembe district, Asia and Middle East. He mentioned that the Vhembe district is home to 1.3 million people and the district is the gateway to Africa.

The chairperson of the Vhem-be House of Traditional Leaders, Hosi Busa Nxumalo, welcomed the visit by the delegates and said that the communities would benefit hugely if a few develop-

ment projects could be launched in the area.

One of the delegates, Mr Mo-hamed Farayi, said they were on a fact-finding mission about possible business and develop-mental projects they might fund from Asia and the Middle East. “We can exchange our business partnership in the way that we will also invite South Africans delegates to come and see how we do things on our side. We hope we will have a fruitful tour to developmental, agricultur-al and tourism projects in the Vhembe region during our stay,” said Farayi.

Public the eyes and ears of policeThe message was loud and clear: “you should be the eyes and ears of your respective places”.

The Limpopo Deputy Pro-vincial Commissioner, Maj Gen Benny Ntlemeza, appealed to communities to work with the police and formulate a produc-tive relationship.

He was speaking during the crime-awareness campaign on domestic violence against women and children on Tuesday afternoon at Arsenal FC’s sports ground in Madombidzha as part of commemorating 16 days of activism.

“Communities should report all the wrongdoings done by police officials. You must report all illegal activities they do,” he said.

He said communities should be vigilant and furnish the

police with all the necessary information that would help them to combat crime.

“Give information to the police, and you must not buy stolen goods, because if those goods are found with you, you will be charged and arrested,” he said.

Addressing various stake-holders such as non-govern-mental organizations, commu-nity policing forums, traditional leaders, local politicians and community members, the depu-ty provincial commissioner em-phasised that residents should refrain from employing illegal immigrants.

“Don’t employ illegals. One day we will embark on a door-to-door campaign and check who is employed and if they have the right documentation,” he said.

Chief Thovhele Rudzani Sin-thumule said respect lay at the core of eradicating the scourge of crime and abuse. “The lack of respect is troubling people and if you don’t respect yourself, you end up being a criminal,” he said.

The MEC for Transport, Safety, Security and Liaison, Ms Mapula Mokaba-Phukwa-na, added that abused women should report every form of abuse they faced within their families.

“We are here because of 16 days of activism. To the women we say, ‘speak out’. We know that, during December, migrant labours are coming back and there will be lots of trouble,” she said.

She also stressed that women should refrain from misusing children’s grant money.

A CHRISTMAS Gift FOR YOU!Rotondwa Musitha crowned Miss Commonwealth Popularity

The Louis Trichardt-based model, Rotondwa Musitha, did it again! She was crowned Miss Commonwealth Popularity 2014 in London on 15 November.

In an interview with Limpopo Mirror, written before her departure to London, she promised readers, supporters and sponsors that she would bring home a crown.

“I had never in my wildest dreams thought I would take on the inter-national stage at such a young age,” she said.

“I was a bit lightheaded at fi rst, but as time went by it felt so real as the final preparations were being done.”

Rotondwa re-mains a young, fresh and beautiful girl who has never been lazy to pursue her dream to win crowns as a young model.

“I would like to thank God for this humbling ex-perience and the opportunity to go showcase my talent abroad,” she said. “I want to thank my family and friends for their timeless support.”

The 20-year-old Rotondwa said that she had not imagined that her talent and hardwork as a model would secure her an opportunity to travel around the world. “I only believed it was real when I boarded my fl ight to Dubai, which was connecting to London,” she said.

She also holds the Miss Commonwealth Culture South Africa 2014/15 title. Rotondwa had been announced the second princess for Miss Commonwealth South Africa on 29 August at Gold Reef City’s Lyric Theatre in Johannesburg.

How do we resolve conflicts to save our marriages?

The quest for morality

PlainTruth

This article identifies some po-tential things that divide married couples, and these are issues that need to be addressed even before couples marry.

The love of money is the root of all evil and has explosive potential to cause havoc in every marriage. Unless a couple develops a common philosophy on how they will gen-erate, save and spend their money in marriage, money can become a dividing factor. It is therefore im-perative for a marriage counsellor to remind a couple about this potential danger.

We should also look closely at the issue of children in marriage. Lack of or the presence of children in marriage can also cause division within a family. Those who cannot have children may easily start blam-ing each other for this void in their marriage. Some even go to the ex-tent of having extra-marital affairs in an effort to prove that they can give birth to children. Those who have children tend to fight on how best they can raise those children.

Reflection on other relationships is also key. Relationships referred

to here include, among others, the relationship with one’s parents, immediate and extended family – including brothers, sisters, cous-ins - and friends. Unless a couple has a decisive and clear plan on how to handle other relationships, their marriage can be under serious threat. The way in which couples handle other relationships has the potential of dividing them.

Issues on the family’s religious life should be thoroughly discussed before a couple gets married. If not handled properly, religious issues can cause division within a family. If two people come from two dif-ferent denominations, they need to discuss issues regarding the essence of what they believe in and their differences. They need to discuss the place where they will worship after marriage, how family prayers will be conducted, and their involve-ment in advancing the Kingdom of God on earth.

These issues must be dealt with in premarital counselling to avoid confusion and conflict in the future.

The NTK in Muledane outside Thohoy-andou which has been in the forefront of the struggle to empower farmers in the Vhembe region and surrounding areas, recently hosted another resoundingly successful farmers expo.

Dubbed the NTK Expo, the farmers fair, which has become an annual event, was held at the main store at Muledane. Experts from different companies were there, displaying the latest technology, pesticides and seeds on the market.

The presence of school children in uni-form also displayed how serious the com-pany is in developing farming in the area.

Mr Leon Heyns, NTK’s product manag-

er, said the company had hosted the event for years in order to empower farmers in the region. “We are determined to take farming to another level. We want to ensure that farming does not cease in this area and that there is food security here where poverty is the order of the day. We are also encouraging pupils from schools around here to take agriculture seriously as some of them could make a career out of it and also use the knowledge in improving their food gardens at school.”

He added that they wanted to ignite interest in the youngsters “and we hope this will be for the benefit of this country.”

To the pupils the expo was an eye-open-

er. “We are into food gardens at our

schools and we struggle to keep them producing the best vegetables, because of a lack of knowledge. What we saw here today has definitely changed our perception about agriculture. As for me, I have already taken a decision and I am following agricultural engineering when I pass my Grade 12,” said 16-year-old Rudzani Mukhethi, a Grade 7 pupil at Siloam Primary School.

Mr George Raselabe, a teacher at Vhutuwangadzebu Primary School, said they brought the pupils to revive the love of agriculture in them.

Kaizer Nengovhela wins Mathatha Tsedu awardA long-time correspondent of Limpopo Mirror, Kaizer Nengovhela, received the Mathatha Tsedu Award for his work in the field of journalism in the province.

This was during the inaugural Limpo-po Media and Communicators Awards ceremony held at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane last Thursday evening.

The award came with a R5 000 cash prize, a certificate and a Samsung tablet.

Nengovhela said that the award served as a kind of recognition, “which indicated that people out there were appreciating the work that journalists are doing. I have received this award with a warm and happy heart,” said Nengovhela.

“We take pictures of the homeless and victims of natural disasters and print them in newspapers and also forward them to our municipalities and MECs for consideration. Most of those poor people eventually get help because of the stories we write.”

He further thanked his editor, Mr Wi-kus Lee, and the team at Limpopo Mirror for the good working environment which was conducive for journalists to write and publish life-affirming stories. “I thank my super senior, Mr Frank Mavhungu, who mentored me as a sports journalist,” he said. “All I can say to journalists and as-piring journalists is that you must report truthfully, factually and tackle your job boldly without any fear or taking sides.”

The CEO of Limpopo News, who also is the CEO of the Limpopo Media and Communicators Awards, Mr Matodzi Makananisa, said it was not difficult to decide on Nengovhela as the recipient of the Mathatha Tsedu Award. “Nengov-hela is a perfect example of a passionate newshound who derives pleasure from serving his community,” Makananisa said. “This is what we seek to recognise with this award.”

Nengovhela started working at Phala Phala FM as sport freelancer between 1993 and 1997, reporting on local sports. He joined Limpopo Mirror around 2000. “When he started at Limpopo Mirror, he was submitting stories written on paper, because computers were a scarce re-source back then,” Makananisa described Nengovhela’s passion. “He travelled the length and breadth of Vhembe in pursuit of a good story, relying on lifts.”

The veteran journalist Mr Mathatha Tsedu said that there was hope in jour-nalism and telling the public all those untold stories.

“Our people never forget and will al-ways find a way to encourage you to do better each day,” he said of the recipient of the award named to honour him. “I went into journalism by chance and not

design, and worked using public phones to contact sources and get comment as well as file copy. I used taxis and buses to get to far-flung places in search of stories that would tell the struggles of our people, and provide hope that a better tomorrow was possible. I wrote my sto-ries from park benches and restaurants.”

The guest speaker, MEC for Agricul-ture Ms Joy Matshoge, stated to the jour-nalists that “whether you write or report on health, economics, politics, lifestyle, sport, entertainment, you should do this in such a way that you take people into new ways of thinking and feeling stron-ger about themselves. Go about your work with a good head and in everything you do as you engage with people, let the goodness in your heart prevail.”

Kaizer Nengovhela wins the Mathatha Tsedu Award.

Education

Farewell to 17 stalwartsTeachers and members of the Sinthumule/Kutama branch of the South African Teachers Democrat-ic Union (SADTU) branch bade farewell to 17 educators during a ceremony at the Madombidzha Faith Mission Church last Friday.

The 17 educators are: Mokgadi Mugeri, Joubert Musenwa, Samuel Mathelemula, Rosina Raphadana, Dorah Mulaudzi, Moipone Mahwai, Wilson Hlungwani,Samson Tsedu, Richardt Fambe, Ernest Marokane, Elvis Mudau, Edward Mbadaliga, Margaret Buasi, Jonas Mugeri, Mu-riel Mabeba, and Doreen Mabeba. Everyone had worked for more than 30 years in education.

Every speaker during the event hailed the teachers as people who loved their work and always did their

best in ensuring that learners received quality education.

The chairperson of the SADTU branch, Mr Maungedzo Nthabalala, described them as hardworking and dedicated.

He remarked that, although the 17 qualified as teachers during the period of bantu education, they did not have any difficulty switching to the latest teaching methods.

The guest speaker, Mr Johannes Bakali from Soutpansberg West Circuit, urged teachers to work very hard in their profession as well as to further their studies.

He said that teachers should be inspired by the retired teachers. “Teachers should be proud of their profession and the work they are doing in order to restore the dignity of their profession,” he said.

Ms Mukondi Mudzinga hands over a certificate to one of the retired teachers, Ms Mokgadi Mugeri, and Mr Maungedzo Nthabalala, SADTU chairperson, looks on.

Univen student installed as the new chief of Mabadi village

Newly installed chief Nkhuliseni adresses the crowd and the elders, while Thovhele David Davhana Davhana (2nd from right) nods in agreement.

Tribal elders led a tshikona dance, taking the new chief to the tent where people were waiting.

A second-year student in education at Univen, Nelson Mahandana Mabidi, was installed as the chief of Mabadi village during a cere-mony at the Mahan-dana Mabidi tradition-al palace on Saturday.

The installation was handled by the senior traditional leader of Davhana, Thovhele Lugisani David Davha-na Davhana. During the ceremony, he con-demned petty royal fam-ily squabbles when it comes to the choice of the rightful heir.

The new chief takes over after his father, Chief Ramaanda Mah-andana Mabidi, passed away in 2006. The act-ing chief since 2006, Mr Thomas Madzhara, pledged all his support to the new chief during the event. As per tra-dition, Khadzi-Vho Masindi Mahandana Mashadzha introduced the new chief, whom she named Mpfuneni Ma-handana Mabidi, with Gumani Mahandana Mabidi as his ndumi and Musandiwa Mahandana Mabidi as the khadzi to

the new chief.Before installing the

new chief, Thovhele David Davhana Davha-na first challenged any-one with a different view that the new chief should be installed to come forward, but no one came forward to challenge that. “I am doing this because if I inaugurate him and someone comes to dis-pute that, we will not tolerate that. There are many disputes for chief-tainship in our province and we can commend the Mahandana Mabi-di family, which acted in unison in taking a decision to make the young man chief,” said Davhana.

He disputed the new name given by the khadzi and changed it to Nkhuliseni Mahandana Mabidi, saying the name befitted him as he was still young and needed guidance.

Davhana urged the community and the fam-ily to give their support to the new chief. He also commanded the new chief to conduct himself in an exemplary manner

and not mix with the wrong people.

In response, Chief Nkhuliseni Mahandana Mabidi told those gath-ered that his installation marked a new beginning for the people of Ma-bidi. “I am busy com-pleting my education and what we will look at, with the advice of Vho Thovhele Davhana, will be education for the youth, which we know is a catalyst for development. We need development here and we are happy that the basics like water and electricity are already here. I will follow in my father’s footsteps and not let my people down,” he said.

Fire in warehouse causes temporary closing of Beit Bridge border postZimbabwe temporarily shut down its border with South Af-rica at Beit Bridge on Thurs-day evening, after a customs warehouse of the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) caught fire.

Impounded goods to the value of an estimated R50 million went up in flames in the inferno. The blaze exposed Beit Bridge’s lack of fire preparedness with officials having to ask South Africa to help as the border town has no fire station.

The warehouse was used to keep goods smuggled such television sets, electrical goods,

blankets and groceries whose customs duty value is about US $1 million.

A spokesperson for the Beit Bridge Civil Protection Unit, Mr Talent Munda, said the fire started shortly after 17:00 and caused a power outage at the busy border post, Zimbabwe’s gateway to its biggest trading partner, South Africa. Munda said the cause of the fire was not known, although it was sus-pected that it could have been an electrical fault. "When the inci-dent occurred, there was no one inside the locked warehouse."

A truck driver who witnessed

the incident, Stanbreck Horita, said the blaze resulted in border authorities' temporarily suspend-ing the movement of travellers. “I had parked my truck at the ZIMRA yard waiting for my vehicle to be cleared when fire started and everyone was scur-rying for cover as the raging fire started spreading. It destroyed the entire building,” said Horita.

Another witness, Mr Dumis-ani Mudau, a clearing agent, said that he was busy processing papers for his clients when he heard people raising the alarm "and the next thing everyone was rushing to the scene of the

huge. The fire was spreading so fast that even when firefighters arrived at the scene, they could not contain it."

Buses carrying travellers who were bound for either South Africa or Zimbabwe had to be delayed as a result of the fire. Beit Bridge's town secretary, Mr Loud Ramakgapola, said they had to collaborate with National Oil Company of Zimbabwe (NOCZIM) and sent their fire tenders to the border post. “We tried to send our firefighters to the border post, but unfortunately they could not contain the fire be-cause it was too fierce. The other

problem is that there are no fire hydrants at the border, making it difficult to deal with such disas-ters,” said Ramakgapola.

Firefighters from neighbouring Musina Fire station arrived short-ly afterward and teamed up with their local counterparts in trying to put out the fire, to no avail.

Ramakgapola said Beit Bridge had no fire station and the local authority relied heavily on Mu-sina Municipality in the event of similar disasters. “Beit Bridge is a very busy border post which handles a huge influx of travel-lers, especially during the festive season. We therefore need a

proper fire station in Beit Bridge, so that we are able to deal with such situations.

This is wake-up call and we need to look into this issue as a matter of urgency,” said Ra-makgapola.

The border post is arguably the busiest inland port of entry in sub-Saharan Africa and it handles an average of 10, 000 travellers and a huge volume of commercial traffic daily.

The border also handles a huge volume of commercial trucks passing through to other countries such as Zambia, DRC and Malawi.

Three new clinics to open for service

Taste of the festive season for the needy

Midoroni Clinic will finally be opened in February 2015.

The Department of Health in Limpopo says the three completed clinics, namely Midoroni, Mpheni and Sereni, will soon be officially opened for public use.

According to the departmental spokesperson, Mr Macks Lesufi, the department had scheduled to officially hand over the Mpheni and Sereni clinics to the communities on or before 11 December.

“The department has put up a programme to hand over and officially open three clinics in Vhembe,” Lesufi said. “Midoroni clinic will be

officially handed over in the first week of Feb-ruary 2015.”

The opening of Mi-doroni Clinic in the Ku-tama area, and Mpheni Clinic at Mpheni near Elim, will bring a breath of fresh air to residents who have been blam-ing the department for failure to complete and open the clinics.

The multi-million-rand Midoroni Clinic was completed last year, but couldn’t be opened

officially due to financial constraints. At one stage, the former departmental spokesperson, Ms Adele van der Linde, said the clinic couldn’t open earlier, as had been expected, because the department first wanted to secure staff and financial budget.

The Mpheni Clinic, on which construction start-ed in 2010, was reportedly not finished by March this year. The project, which was supposed to have been completed in 2011, was then extended for a further four months. However, the clinic will now be opened for public use.

Prophetess Joyce Dzhivhuho (right) is assisted by Clr Maria Ramanala (2nd from right) and Chief Magoloi Mphaphuli (3rd from right) in handing over groceries to the needy.

Disadvantaged pupils and poor people from around Thohoy-andou and surrounding areas had a taste of the festive season when they were given uniforms and groceries by a local church.

Nearly 90 people received gifts during an event at the Seventh Day Jehovah Almighty Ministry in Thohoyandou Block F. The ministry is headed by Prophetess Joyce Dzhivhuho. The event was attended by Chief Magoloi Mphaphuli and a Thulamela councillor, Ms Maria Ramanala,

who officiated in handing over the gifts.

Dzhivhuho (50) said the min-istry came about in 2012 as a call from God to abandon her flower and garden business and help His people.”I started praying for people and many were healed and many got what they asked from God. We started very small, but two years later we could see God working wonders for His chil-dren, blessing them abundantly.”

She said that it was important for the church not only to look

at the spiritual part of a person, but also to look at the physical being, “which needs food to eat and clothes to wear.”

She said that her action was also aimed at dispelling the notion that churches only want money from the poor. “We are a ministry that knows how to plough back to its community and to care for the needy,” she said. Thulamela ward 21 coun-cilor Maria Ramanala hailed the church for the good work it is doing in the community.



The king of Venda, Khosikhulu Toni Mphephu Ramabulana, urged the Vha-Ven-da people to be safe during this festive season. He told Limpopo Mirror that it was of paramount importance for people to look after themselves. He said that people should also consider spending their money wisely, considering the diffi culties of the economy. According to him, is always important for everyone to bear in mind that there is January and people should save, prepare for that month and enter next year peacefully. “Planning wisely for these festive seasons will also help people to prepare for next year,” he said.

It is nearly time for the long-awaited

Christmas holidays in South Africa.

What are our people going to do this

year? Reporter Phathutshedzo

“Baggio” Luvhengo recently “took to

the streets” and enquired from some

of our residents.

A mother, Ms Grace Lithole from Madombidzha Zone 1, works at the waste management department at the Makhado local municipality. She said she doesn’t plan to spend the festive season away from home as she will be working. “I will enjoy most of my festive holidays at home and it is a pity we work according to shifts and we don’t close during the festive season. At least during Christmas I will be at home and will spend enough time with my family,” she said.

A business administrator, Mr Humbulani Ndou from Mashamba Tshivhuyuni, reckons that festive seasons are always exceptional times to spend with the family. He believes that spending time with his family will save him a fortune. He said he would spend his Christmas holiday at the Kruger National Park with his son and wife. This will give him quality time with his family while he is away from work. “Spending time with family is a lot cheaper and it helps to save money, unlike spending your savings reck-lessly with friends,” he said.

The chief administrator at Lufunde Communications and Consultancy, Ms Mulalo Masikwa from Ma-dombidzha Zone 2, plans to spend her entire festive season with her only daughter. Both of them are planning to go on a shopping spree in Gauteng. She believes that this will refresh her mind and allow her to rest after working tirelessly throughout the year. “As a member of the Roman Catholic Church, I will also spend my time attending church services according to our Catholic religious calendar,” she said.

A receptionist at Tshedza Lodge, Mr Innocent Khubana from Khunda village, believes that the festive season is the time for the youth to refl ect on their goals in life and to refresh their minds. After spending the whole year doing research about young people and empowerment in his village, he insisted that this would be a great time to advise young people about their future and how they should refrain from engaging in indecent behaviour and a decadent lifestyle. “I think this is the great time to empower one another, especially us young people, on how to survive this diffi cult economic time,” he said.

A street hawker, Mr Emmanuel Muleya in the town of Louis Trichardt, believes that this is a time to spend with family and friends. Although it is a diffi cult time economically speaking, the easiest way to spend and save at the same time is when you enjoy time with the family. “I will close my business on 24 of December until 2 January next year. During that time I will be partying responsibly with family and friends,” said Muleya.

A street hawker, Mr Emmanuel A street hawker, Mr Emmanuel

The manager at SO Ravele Attorneys, Mr Lugisani Ravele, from Mauluma village in Nzhelele, reckons the festive season will be great since they will close with a weekend away with some colleagues from work. They will spend the fi rst weekend of December at Swadini resort. He believes that the weekend away will prepare him for spending time in his community, socialising with and advising one another on how they should save money for children’s education and prepare for next year. “After a year of working tirelessly, I think this will be a great time to spend with family and friends, planning for next year,” said Mr Ravele.

Ms Estere Nedzamba from Murunwa in the Nzhelele Val-ley mentioned that the festive period is a great time for her, because some of her children will be at home and they will spend the time as a family. “It is always fantastic to spend time with family and friends and some of family members who work away will be at home with us,” she said.

The residents of Vhembe are looking forward to the holidays!

C l l r M a g r e t M a t h a l i s e f r o m Tshavhalovhedzi agrees that festive sea-sons are always better and enjoyable, but she insists that communities should con-sider their safety during the holidays. She says accidents often occur after people consume alcohol during these times. She urges motorists and pedestrians to refrain from drinking alcohol while on the road. “It is always safe to spend wisely and to look after yourself. We often hear people crying after the festive season without any money be-cause of reck-less spend-ing,” she said.

Limpopo Mirror asks some of our readers what their plans are for the Festive Season

Family of six to get a brand new houseA 37-year-old mother of four, Ms Joyce Matevhutevhu, ex-pressed her happiness when the Christangle Fellowship Centre and the Department of Justice and Correctional Service’s Thohoyandou Management Area announced that they would build her a house.

Matevhutevhu and other six family members share appalling living conditions in a mud-brick, one-room house at Lwamondo Tshishushuru.

It was announced that at least 22 parolees would build the house.

The vice-chairperson of Christangle Fellowship Centre, Ms Linda Hangwani, said that

they deemed it fi t to extend their helping hand to needy families and orphans.

“We have been doing this kind of charitable work and we will keep on doing this as long as the need arises,” she said. “We have been donating food parcels and this year will be no different since we are intending to donate food parcels to 275 needy families for the festive season.”

The Thohoyandou Manage-ment Area’s spokesperson, Mr Tshifhiwa Magadani, said that the parolees would build the three-bedroom house under the supervision of the head of com-munity corrections, Mr Farisani Mulaudzi.

“It makes us happy each time when we offer community services to people out there,” Magadani said.

Matevhutevhu said that she was speechless “to know that there are some people within our community who are still practicing the spirit of vhuthu (humanity),” she said. “It is nice to feel loved and cared for.”

The acting area commissioner, Mr Showy Mudimeli, said that the responsibility of Correctional Services did not only end within the correctional centre. “The responsility of our institutions goes beyond the borders of the prison walls since we are part of the community,” he said.

Ms Joyce Matevhutevhu (seated, right) received a visit from the Christangle Fellowship Centre and the Department of Justice and Correctional Services.

The sports presenter at the SABC’s Phalaphala FM, Ms Phathut-shedzo Matidza from Masia, is not sure how she will spend her holidays. Apart from spending time with family and friends, she wants to attend most of the football tournaments in the area during this festive season.

During an emotional farewell ceremo-ny held at Makhado Christian church in Madombidzha village last Thursday, Mrs Raulinga was praised for the productive period of her life she spent whilst teaching

at the Nndwakhulu Primary School. Mrs Raulinga was a Grade 5 mathematics teacher.

Mrs Elizabeth Thanyani Raulinga (62) went on pension after 36 years of teaching. The school principal, Ms Johanna Ndadza, acknowledged that her retirement had left a huge void. She said it would take time to fill the gap Raulinga had left. “She was always full of initiative and very dedicated

to her work,” she said. The ceremony was held simultaneously

with the Grade 7 pupils’ farewell and award ceremony.

Ndadza said the annual award ceremony was meant to motivate pupils to strive for the best. “The awards ceremony always influences even those who are not per-forming well to develop a burning desire to triumph academically,” she said.

“You received this donation as a result of hard work and we are very proud of you,” said Dr Audrey Dagada when handing over R5 000 to Tondani Ma-birimisa (20) of Madombidzha.

Mabirimisa received a bursary from the Department of Health to go and study medicine in Cuba. Along with 99 other students, he left for Cuba on Monday. The initiative forms part of an agreement between South Africa and Cuba, and the Limpopo provincial government was tasked to identify 100 students from pre-viously disadvantaged communities for undergraduate and post-graduate studies in medicine in Cuba.

Mabirimisa is one of the 2013 matrics who worked hard to make the most of the few opportunities they had. He is the pride of his family and of the Maluta High School in Madombidzha.

According to Dr Dagada, her company has endeavoured to im-prove the standard of education in the coun-try, especially in rural areas. “This is part of our company’s mission of giving something back to the community. We hope other com-panies will learn that it is important to do something for the com-munity, because they are the ones who made us what we are today,” said Dagada.

“I never thought something like this would actually hap-pen to me one day,” exclaimed the excited young man. Although very happy, he is also a bit nervous. Mabiri-misa said it took a lot of effort for him to pass the exams with five dis-tinctions. “I achieved all this through the Lord’s

guidance. I will try not to disappoint my parents, the community and my donor,” he promised.

The Department of Health’s spokesper-son, Mr Mack Lesufi, said that the sole purpose of sending the students to Cuba was to familiarise them with the Primary Health Care System, which is relevant to the South African public health system. He said that, in Limpopo, there was a huge shortage of doctors.

Lesufi said that once the students had completed their second year, they would be given an opportunity to come home for a visit.

“They will get a ticket on completion of their studies in the fifth year to return to South Africa to do their last year at Me-

dunsa,” said Lesufi.The official language of Cuba is Spanish, which will be an initial stumbling block for the students.

Lesufi said that the students would get support from the department in the form of stipends and information.

Every year, Lesufi said, there would be formal visits to Cuba by senior man-agement, provincial coordinators and the national department. The students will go through an orientation programme, which includes Cuban history, culture and its people, logistical issues, their conduct and discipline during their stay in Cuba. He said that they would also be briefed about the relationship between South Africa and Cuba before and after the daw of democracy.

A group of volunteers with their certificates during the event.

Recognition for Vhembe’s Lovelife volunteersThe regional programme leader of Lovelife in Vhembe, Ms Tinyiko Knaya-ne, has urged the volunteers of the organisation not to undersestimate the role they are playing in the community.

She was speaking during a certificate ceremony held in recognition of the good work they are doing in the community and the successful completion of the year-long training they underwent.

The ceremony also marked the end-of-the-year activities of the organisation and took place at the Nandoni Lapa on Friday.

Kanyani com-mended the vol-unteers for the good work they were doing in bringing about change in their communities. “These are no ordinary youths, but youths on a mission to bring about change a n d m a k e a mark wherever they are. They have been in the forefront of the fight against the spread of the scourge of the dreaded HIV in their commu-nities. Through

them we have seen a drastic decrease in infection and also an enhanced awareness about the disease,” she said.

She stated that the members of the group were youths who had completed their Grade 12 but could not further their studies at tertiary institutions because of a lack of funds.

“Their efforts have also led to a de-crease in teenage pregancies, alcohol and drug abuse and crime in the community, she said.

She called the volunteers role models and called on other youths to emulate them.

One of the awardees, Nkhume Mu-tavhatsindi, said the training had been worthwhile.

“We are greatly empowered and we now look at life from the positive side. We are ready to embark on the journey of life, well equiped with skills, and we thank Lovelife for affording us this opportunity,” she said.

“Correction is a societal responsibility” - MathibelaThohoyandou Correctional Centre recently formed part of the National Portfolio Committee's visit to different government departments.

The National Portfolio Committee visit forms part of a service delivery assess-ment of all government departments. The committee, which is functioning under the chairmanship of Ms Chana Pilane-Ma-jake, visted the visited the medium B, female and juvenile centres respectively.

“During their visit, the portfolio com-mittee learnt that the Thohoyandou Management Area renders different re-habilitation programmes to offenders in

terms of production workshops and agri-culture, stemming from welding, capentry, needlework, textile, wood and steel,” the Thohoyandou management area's spokes-person, Mr Tshifhiwa Magadani, said.

During her welcome address at the centre, the Chief Deputy Commissioner of Community Corrections, Ms Phumla Mathibela, stated that the social reintegra-tion of inmates formed an important part of the departmental mandate. She added that the department could not function on its own and she requested all departments and communities to join hands with them "to achieve our mandate of rehabilitation

of offenders in secure and humane condi-tions. As a department we say, correction is a societal responsibility."

After touring the prison, the delegates and senior correctional officers engaged in a comment- and information-sharing session, where portfolio committee mem-bers addressed the gathering about their take on the facility. “I can safely say that the integrity of the prison is still there,” Adv Thomas Bongo said. “And I am im-pressed about what I have seen here: the cleanliness of the institutions was second to none. However, the overcrowding and water shortage are a concern.”

His real name is Azwiambiwi Am-blos Masakona, but he is widely known by his stage name, Ambi.

He is one of the local artists whose music is, according to local fans, developing tremendously with time. Born at Lufule village near Thohoyandou 45 years ago, Ambi’s love of music dates back to the early eighties, when he used to play on a home-made guitar.

He recorded a number of singles, including the Lufule song and King Hamurabi at the now-defunct Radio Thohoyandou studios between 1982 and 1985. He moved between sev-eral groups between 1986 and 1991 and made contributions towards the music of Jekete, Mahoshi, Mahara and Funi wa Ghetto.

In 1992, he formed his own group, Comet Kids. Due to fi nancial constraints, the group could not record its music. Ambi did not give up, despite all the odds. He went solo and started to compile his own songs. In 2012, he recorded his debut album, Tshitaka, at the Slow Poison

Recording Studio at Tshivhulani. The album comprises ten songs

and songs such as U sea sa bengo, Vha nthambela vhathu, Makhadzi and the title track, Tshitaka, made the album an instant hit with fans. Now he has made a comeback with his second Venda disco album. The new release, Jealous, was recorded at Ambi’s newly opened recording studio, Amblos Music Productions, three months ago and was released on 6 October, the day Ambi was cel-ebrating his 45th birthday. Just like the debut album, Jealous comprises 10 songs. Some of the songs which are likely to drive the fans crazy include Vhusiku a ri lali, Shango lo tshinyala, Maria, Birthday ya Ambi and Zwine vha ita zwi a shonisa.

Ambi will be performing at vari-ous ceremonies, including weddings, during the festive season as a way to promote the album. According to him, the album is self-marketed and self-distributed. For sales and live-performance bookings, Ambi can be contacted on 079 488 6433.

He is dressed in a grey T-shirt and brown pants and wears red sneakers and glasses, as well as a red cap. His clothes signify his musical style. When he gets on stage, he is very nervous, but when the fans positively respond to his musical performance he gets on with the fl ow.

Meet Fizzy, an artist of many talents. The 25-year-old vernacular rapper is a producer, songwriter, graphic designer and IT specialist.

Mbavhelelo Wadell Radebe has be-come a household name in the region over the past months, commonly known by his stage name, Fizzy. This year’s LIM-Hop Award nominee in the Best Single category has been in the music industry since 2004.

It all started with a friend’s computer and music software. At that stage, his home village, Mudimeli, in Nzhelele boasted only a few computers. Fizzy de-veloped a keen interest in music software and mastered the programme when his parents bought him his own computer.

He used to watch most of the national music videos when he was growing up. He then realised there was a gap in the music business. Most people used to rap in English and only a few artists rapped

in Tshivenda. “When I was in high school, I realised chose to develop music that was not pop-ular at the time,” he says.

Fizzy compleded a diploma in business information technology at Rosebank College in 2010 and dedicated all his time to music. A few months later he met the local prominent rapper, Mizo Phyll, who introduced him to many local artists. He then co-founded the music group, TooFab Music, with his friend Mulanga Ralioma prom-inently known as KashFlow.

While his career as not only a rapper but also as a songwriter and producer was gradually growing, he discovered other local artists and started producing their music. “Through Mizo Phyll, I dis-covered other artists and we intensifi ed our effort and released a lot of mixed tapes,” he says. Most of those artists have released their own albums. The music of one of the artists that he had produced won the Tshima Awards last year.

He is the second-born of four children of a Zulu father and Venda mother. “Peo-ple often ask me if there is a Radebe in the Vha-Venda tribe,” he says. When he was in high school, his parents seldom supported his music and infl uenced him to focus on his studies. They have, how-

ever, learnt that music is his talent and they support him all the time.

Earlier this year, Fizzy released his fi rst album of 19 tracks, titled Fhano Shangoni. The album contains, among others, Thusani, Fhano Shangoni, Ahuna Munwe, Ntakuse and Get up. Almost six months after the album was released he is still getting calls from people who want to purchase his disc.

Fizzy had performed alongside prom-inent South African musicians such as Dee Jay Cleo, HHP, Mac-J, Bhamba and his music has featured on radio stations such as Phala Phala FM, Capricorn FM, and various community radio stations in Gauteng and Limpopo.

He can be reached on the social networks. His Facebook page is Fizzy TooFab and his twitter handle is @yaboifi zzy.

The Musina police have warned members of the public to not accept “lifts” from strangers.

This comes after a 24-year-old Zimbabwean male was robbed of his money, clothes, passport and two cellphones at a hiking spot near Villa Lua recently.

The incident occurred at around 09:00. “The complainant was count-ing his money when three suspects arrived and threatened him with a big knife,” said Musina’s police spokes-person, Const Dakalo Ramagwede. “They robbed him of his belongings and cash.”

The police acted swiftly and ar-rested one of the suspects, who was

later identified as Samuel Ndlovu. The other two suspects ran away and are still at large. Ndlovu appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on 24 November, where he was granted R2000 bail. He will appear in court again on 8 December.

Ramagwede urged members of the public not to hitchhike because it is not safe. “People from around Musina are advised not to wait for lifts at hiking spots, as these places are not safe,” she said. “People are being robbed every day at hiking spots. Peo-ple should use legal public transport systems which they can access at taxi ranks and bus stations to avoid putting their lives in danger.”

One of the suspects, Samuel Ndlovu, is out on bail.

The Vhembe District in Lim-popo, in conjunction with or-ganizations that are active on gender issues, such Munna Ndi Nnyi? (Who is a real man), the Moral Regeneration Move-ment and Far North Network on Family Violence, strongly condemned violence against women and children.

“We want the 16 days of ac-tivism against violence towards women and children to change to be 365 days, which will send a clear message to men that they must stop abuse. We also encour-age women and children to speak out all against forms of abuse done by men,” said Cllr Rapson Rambuwani, chairperson of the

portfolio committee on special programmes in the Vhembe District. He was speaking at the Fondwe World Mission Church last Wednesday.

He mentioned that many abused women did not report the matter because they were afraid that the men, the only breadwinners in a family, might be arrested.

Ms Florence Makhoshi, who represented Munna Ndi Nniy?, said that she was sending a clear message to men that a real man does abuse women and children. “As an organization that is active on gender issues, we gave victims of women and children abuse more information on where to

report such cases. We encourage them to know more about our or-ganization’s programme on how to prevent domestic violence,” said Makhoshi.

During the event, the represen-tative of the Far North Network on Family Violence, Ms Lucy Matshakatini, said that there was still an alarmingly high appear-ance of domestic violence in the Vhembe region. “According to our information, money is the root of the domestic violence and we encourage women to accept the financial status of their husbands. We urge women to get up and do things for themselves and to stop depending on their husbands,” said Matshakatini.

Lufuno Sadiki from Louis Trichardt aims to help young school children.

When a young woman from Louis Trichardt was confronted with the harsh realities of poverty among school children, she decided to make a difference and bring some joy into their lives.

After visiting Mambedi Primary School in the Valdezia area, Lufuno Sadiki (25) from Louis Trichardt realised that something must be done to help the children. The school planned on organising a farewell function for the Grade 7s, but not all pupils would have been able to attend this function. According to Lufuno, the school did not receive any funding from the department to organise the event and pupils were required to each pay R50 in order

for the event to occur.Lufuno realised that it would be impossible for

most of the children to collect the money and pay for the function. She believed, however, that it was important for the function to go ahead, so she started looking for ways in which she could assist.

“It was very painful to see those children in that situation,” said Ms Sadiki. She also found that most pupils could not afford proper school uniforms and were living in abject poverty. Apparently, most children’s parents work on nearby farms and cannot afford to give their children the luxuries that so many others take for granted.

Lufuno realised that she needed to do whatever possible to motivate the children and she started approaching local businesses and other stakehold-ers. These businesses then sponsored the trophies for the best performing pupils as well as 48 pairs of shoes. They also sponsored the event and offered her soft drinks that were used on the day.

According to Lufuno, the project should not end with one function. Through her projects, she would like to help eradicate social problems in society. “Most young children end up on the streets and drop out of school because of their situations at home.” She envisages a concept similar to Sum-bandila, which is an initiative of Ridgeway College in Louis Trichardt. Through such an initiative, pupils are “adopted” and motivated to do well in school. “Without a qualification, life is hard and if young people are motivated to finish their educa-tion, it helps eradicate the dire challenges of our society,” she added.

Lufuno promised that towards winter next year, she would seek various warm clothes such as school jerseys and donate them to school pupils.

It has been two weeks since a mentally ill pa-tient, Mr Thomas Tshautshau (35) from the Khakhu-Thondoni area, went missing and speculation is rife that he could have been rit-ually murdered.

He was seen last on 22 November on his way back home from church. The police and members of the community have embarked on an extensive search, hoping to find him. They concentrated on the nearby bushes and mountain.

On Monday morning, the police went back to the community and again searched the area, but it was all in vain. Amid speculations of a possible ritual murder, his family has robustly opposed specula-tions. They told the village's gathering that they knew Tshautshau was mentally unstable and that he might just have gone somewhere and couldn't find his way back home. The Siloam police are appeal-ing to any member of the public who might know his whereabouts to contact their nearest station. “We have put a suggestion box in our police station to allow those who might have information to use

it. We will continue to work with all the relevant stakeholders when investigating this matter,” said police spokesperson W/O Edward Tharaga.

Rewards for top local nut farmersGreen Farms Nut Company held their year-end function for their Limpopo farmers at their Levubu processing factory on 14 November.

The function was very much a social occasion and an op-portunity for Green Farms Nut Company to thank farmers for their support, as well as the White River Factory staff for their hard work. Prizes were also given out to farmers for various quality categories.

Alex Whyte, one of Green and Gold Marketing’s sales

managers, updated the farmer’s briefly on the macadamia mar-ket. “The 2014 season has been the best ever recorded. Green Farms Nut Company achieved the highest prices ever and demand from our customers, despite these high prices, re-mains incredibly strong. Come February, we will be paying a good agterskot (backpay) to our growers who supplied us in 2014. Our farmers will be smiling,” Whyte said.

Whyte also said that the situ-ation for 2015 looked positive.

“There have been some rumours circulating that a lot of inshell shipped to China is still unsold by the Hong Kong traders. But the situation with China is never clear and we will only really get a clear picture of China’s de-mand after their New Year cel-ebration in February. The kernel market remains buoyant, and with little worldwide carry-over going into the 2015 season, we expect prices to remain solid for the 2015 season,” said Whyte.

Werner van Niekerk, the company’s procurement man-

ager, also explained how the payments to growers are arranged: “Green Farms Nut Company has a unique sales model where-by any sales prices achieved over and above the offer made at the beginning of the year is paid to the farmers in full. The result is an extremely lucrative agterskot at the end of the year, and we believe we pay the best in the South Afri-can industry,” he said.

Green Farms Nut Company’s long-term strategy is year upon year to provide farmers with the best possible price, ser-vice and, above all, to uphold outstanding ethics. The company has been in existence now for 22 years and is the oldest macada-mia processor in South Africa.

The prize winners on the evening were: Integ Unsound kernel recovery %: Bonne-ma Boerdery first and Farm Rabeja second; H y b r i d U n s o u n d kernel recovery %: Zebedelia Citrus first and Alvier Boerdery second; Hybrid Sound kernel recovery %: Muirhead & Roux first and Alvier Boerdery second; and Integ Sound kernel recovery %: Bonnema Boerdery first and Hanfre Bo-erdery second.

Certificates for Khavhatondwe’s best

Children from the Musina Children Resource Centre, photographed with packages of some snacks, sweets and fruits they received from the JPS Worship Centre.

Hundreds of orphans from Mu-sina Children Resource Centre were treated to what they de-scribed as an early Christmas at the premises of Jesus for the Poor in Spirit Ministries (JPS) Worship Centre as part of the centre's recent World Aids Day Commemorations.

The children were treated to a day full of fun, games and laughter.

During the official programme, the children’s choir rendered several items, while a few deliv-ered some well-crafted poems and a drama. The two poems on manners and HIV/Aids were very touching and, according to

observers, a testimony that the orphans are, despite their difficult circumstances, in good hands.

Elder Baloyi, chairperson of the JPS Board, told the children that whatever situation they were in at the moment, they must re-member that God loved them and that the situation they were in was only temporary. He stressed that the children must not allow their situations to limit their potential in life.

He added that HIV/Aids was a sad reality that required the children to be vigilant and extra careful when it came to sexual matters. “Sex is for adults and not for children.

You must focus your attention on education and nothing else as education is the only key that can release you from your situation,” Baloyi added.

Ms Maria Moyo from the cen-tre expressed her appreciation to the JPS and said their wish was to see more churches and businesses become involved in assisting poor children.

“This kids did not choose to be in these situations, and as re-sponsible adults we need to have some sense of civic responsibility in our hearts, so that we can help those who are less fortunate than we are,” she concluded.

Early Christmas for Musina’s orphans

Within a few years since it started, Khavhatondwe Acad-emy in Madombidzha village has proven that when a pupil receives the required attention from the teacher, a good suc-cess rate can be achieved.

Last Friday, nearly 60 pupils from this school, which currently offers only Grade R to Grade 2, awarded their outstanding pupils academic certificates of merit.

The chairperson of the school

governing body (SGB), Mrs Ma-ria Marageni, said the school was initiated to uplift the standard of education in the community. “This school was founded in or-der to build leaders who will not only uplift the community, but also the whole country,” she said.

Since it started in 2012, pupils in this school have been passing with an average mark of 80%. "When you give the necessary attention to all pupils, the re-

sults are outstanding," said the SGB's deputy chairperson, Mr Moses Madali.He said it was of paramount importance that pupils should obtain good marks from an early age. He said if the foundation was concrete, the future would be bright. Pupils performed dramas and poems during the ceremony.

It was also announced that the school is planning to extend the classes up to Grade 4 next year.

Safa Vhembe to resume its activities

Joe Express ready to face Hotspurs

Safa Vhembe will resume its league activities this weekend, after it came to a standstill to provide pupils the opportunity to study for their exams.

On Saturday, Makhitha Oscar Stars will meet the youngsters of Benny’s Care Soccer Academy at

the Tshiozwi grounds in a replay match. The fixtures for Sunday are: Tshiozwi Anchors vs Mphe-ni Home Defenders, Muraleni United vs Makhitha Oscar Stars, Tshiozwi Dynamos vs Makhitha Iyarunga, Madombidzha Arsenal vs Tshikota Chelsea, Maebane

Young Eagles vs Soutpansberg Powerline, Zamenkomste Liv-erpool vs Mabilu FC, Vleifon-tein United vs Benny’s Care, Mailaskop Pull Together vs Madombidzha Western Stars and Tshikwani Stone Breakers vs Mabedehwa FC.

After an impressive performance in their open-ing league match against Magezi FC, whom they walloped 5-0 at the Makwarela Stadium last Wednesday, Joe Express are leaving no stone unturned in their preparations for their week-end fixture against Giyani Hotspurs.

They will rub shoulders in their ABC Motsepe League match at the Giyani Stadium tomorrow.

Their strikers, Thembisani Nevhulamba and Simon Ramphabana, are expected to keep the Hotspurs’ defence running from the onset to the bitter end. Nevhulamba and Ramphabana will only live up to the fans’ expectations if their midfielders, Ishmael Xikololo and Juliet Ngubane, do not run out of steam along the way.

Dakalo “DK” Ratshitanga will be marshalling the Express defence. Giyani Hotspurs are not an easy side to beat at home.

Court News

Businessman releasedA Indian businessman, who was questioned in connection with the alleged rape of a seven-year-old boy in Itsani village outside Thohoyandou was released without being charged. This fol-lowed after the case was handed to the senior public prosecutor for a decision.

The police could not charge the man, because of insufficient evidence. The man was investigated and was taken in for questioning.

A doctor from Tshilidzini Hospital apparently confirmed that the boy, who was complaining of pain to his parents, had been raped. The boy allegedly told his parents that he was raped at a nearby shop last Monday. A man at the shop allegedly lured the child into a store room where he allegedly raped the child and gave him sweets, as he was convinced the boy would remain mum.

It later turned out that there was not enough evidence to link the man who was questioned to the incident.

Poor results worry Leopards’ bossThe chairman of Black Leo-pards, Mr David Thidiela, is a worried man.

The reasons for his discom-fort relate to the team’s poor performance in their recent league matches. In an interview he said that one of the reasons

for the poor performances is the low level of fitness of the players.

He was reacting to the team’s unimpressive performance in their last five matches, of which they lost four and drew one. He cited the injuries of three of their top strikers, Maboke Matlakala, Sanele Mkhize and Ivan Mahangwahaya, as some of the factors that contributed to the team’s downfall.

He further stated that the team did have adequate off-season preparations.

He empasised the fitness level of the team and said the team usually plays good football in the first half but loses cohesion with time. He revealed that all the players who were injured will be available for selection in their match against FC Cape Town at the Thohoyandou Sta-dium tomorrow afternoon.

He appealed to the team’s supporters not to throw in the towel, saying the season was

still very long. He confirmed that they had signed a skillful local player, Thivha Ndou, from Maranzhe Hungry Lions.

Apart from tomorrow’s league match against FC Cape Town, Black Leopards will host Witbank Spurs at the same venue in their Nedbank Cup preliminary-round match next Wednesday afternoon. The draw for the competition was held at the league’s offices on Tuesday afternoon.

The full Nedbank Cup pre-liminary round fixtures are: FC Cape Town vs Baroka (NNK Rugby Stadium), Black Leopards vs Witbank Spurs (Thohoyandou), Lamontville Golden Arrows vs Milano United (Chatsworth Stadium), Thanda Royal Zulu vs Santos (Umhlathuze Sports Complex), African Warriors vs Garankuwa United, Maluti FET College vs Royal Eagles, Highlandspark vs Vasco da Gama and Jomo Cos-mos vs Cape Town All Stars. Mr David Thidiela.

Great North FC will host Blue Rocks at the Seshego Stadium. Magezi FC will pay a visit to Modimolle Aces at the Ephraim Mohale Stadium in Modimolle. It will be time for Magezi to avenge the 0-5 defeat they suffered at the hands of Joe Express last Wednesday.

The rookies, A1 Terrors, will have a date with Dynamos at the Ephraim Mohale Stadium, while Lephalale Young Killers and Polokwane United will fight for league points in Lephalale.

Winners Park will lock horns with Mosesetjane All Stars at the Mahwelereng Stadium in Mokopane and Mighty FC will host Bellevue Village Winners Park at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Bellevue are sharpened to kill after booking a place in the provincial final of the Nedbank Cup.

The newly promoted Bilika All Stars will play against The Dolphins at the Eldorado Stadium in Polokwane.

The new completed market stalls at Musina Nancefield Ext 8.

Ms Asnath Molepo is an unem-ployed single mother of four children who sells her sewing products to local community members from the stoop of her house in Musina Nancefield Ext 8.

During rainy or windy days, she does not get any income be-cause she does not have a proper place to sew and sell her products to her customers.

She hopes that her life will change for the better after the Musina Municipality completed the construction of market stalls in her area.

The R3,1 million project com-prises 10 market stalls, equipped with ablution facilities, water and electricity connections, steel palisade fencing and paving.

According to the local ward councillor, Ms Nkele Milanzi, the market stalls have been pro-fessionally constructed to make sure that the beneficiaries work in a dust-free and healthy envi-ronment.

“Besides the stalls, we have erected a palisade fencing around the market stalls because it is important for our people to work in a secure environment. We

have made sure that the area is more open and accessible for all the people who will be working or shopping at the market. This is one of the projects that local people requested during ward meetings and we are implement-ing it, based on the will of the people and their priorities."

According to her, it is hoped that the new market layout will not only create a renewed vigour for Musina Nancefield by at-tracting more market traders and shoppers, but that it will also help to bring about new investment in the area.

Icasa probes province’s cellphone networksA recent study by the Indepen-dent Communications Authori-ty of South Africa (ICASA) has identified problems with the accessibility and retention of mobile voice calls in Limpopo.

ICASA released their quarterly quality-of-service report, which looks at the performance of South Africa’s three biggest mobile network operators, at the end of November. The purpose of the report is to assess the standard and quality of services offered by the mobile giants, MTN, Vo-dacom and Cell C. Monitoring was conducted in Mokopane,

Mutale, Polokwane, Sekhukhune and Thohoyandou by means of a drive-testing.

With this test, focus was placed on network performance in terms of accessibility and retention of voice calls.

ICASA found that MTN was accessible in the test areas, but failed in the retainablity test in Sekhukhune. Vodacom was also accessible in all the test areas, but failed retainability in Thohoyan-dou, Mutale and Sekhukhune.

Cell C was found to be the worst of the network provid-ers. They failed accessibility

in Thohoyandou, Mutale and Mokopane, as well as the retain-ability in Thohoyandou, Mutale Sekhukhune and Mokopane.

ICASA noted that they have offered all three operators the opportunity to comment on the areas of concern highlighted in its report.

“Both Vodacom and Cell C have taken to address areas of concern and ICASA continues to engage with the licensees for better quality of service. MTN did not submit any further com-ments,” said the communication authority.


Anchors the new Commac champsTshiozwi Anchors were crowned new champions of the Commac Cup, after they beat the defending champi-ons, Makhitha Oscar Stars, 2-1in the final at Muduluni on Sunday.

Both sides played attacking football in the first half, making the match entertaining to watch. Stars had their first regret in the seventh minute. Godwin Mahu-wa missed a golden chance when he shot wide. Vhutshilo Mafu-nisa and Phethani Sikhwivhilu of Anchors were booked for

different infringements. No goal was scored in the first half.

In the second half, Anchors brought on Steven Ramalivha for Andries Masingi, who was looking tired. The introduc-tion of Ramalivha changed the complexion of the match as he distributed good passes to their strikers.

Realizing that their chances were slim, Stars abandoned their positions and packed themselves at the far back. The speedy striker of Anchors, Aluwani “Killer” Nedzamba, beat all the

defenders and passed the ball to Khakhu Tshilinga, who didn't waste any time to score easily.

The wheel of fortune turned against Stars in the 79th minute. Their defender, Itani Selota, failed to stop a cross-ball from Kgotso Maphala and Khakhu Tshilinga completed his brace.

Late in the match, Vhutshilo Mafunisa of Anchors handled the ball inside his penalty area and the referee pointed to the white spot. Sydney Lubengo scored from the spot to make the score 2-1.

The champions of the Commac Cup, Tshiozwi Anchors, celebrate with the trophy.

Andries Masingi of Anchors beats Sydney Lubengo.

The two champions of two Commac Cup streams, Zout-pansberg Powerline and Tsh-iozwi Anchors, each received R2 000, a new soccer kit and floating trophies during the prize-giving ceremony at Mud-uluni on Sunday.

Mr Kwaito Mamafha of Com-mac said that the aim of his company in funding sport was that they wanted to develop rural young people.

They also wanted to keep the youth busy in a constructive way and from turning to all sorts of mischief.

He stated that his company would support the local organ-isers because they ran an open, clean and transparent tourna-ment.

He reiterated the fact that he will continue to sponsor the tour-nament in coming years, with the sponsorship increasing over time. He said it was crucial for him to also sponsor a netball league, so that more girls could become involved in sport.

Mr Ndoda Muvhango from the Makhado Local Football Association said he was proud of the quality of soccer in the

area. “I’m very proud that we have grown young people of real quality,” he said.

He stated that he was con-vinced that the tournament would, in due course, produce stars that would receive interna-tional recognition.

The runners-up in each stream, Makhitha Oscar Stars and Mae-bane Young Eagles, each went home with R1 400 and silver medals.

The two teams beaten in the semifinals, Tshiozwi Dynamos and Makhitha Iyarunga, collected R800 each.

Black Leopards were hopeful that they would conquer Cape Town when they flew to the mother city two weeks ago, but that was not to be. Instead, they lost all three matches they played against the Cape Town teams.

Apart from giving away league points to their opponents, Leopards conceded 10 goals in the three matches.

Their first match in Cape Town was against Santos, to whom they lost 2-3. They suffered a 1-4 defeat at the hands of Cape Town All Stars last Tuesday evening, be-fore losing 1-3 to Milano United three days later. Morgan Shivambu scored their only goal against Mi-lano United while Deniro Stanely, Devon Saal and Nasief Morris scored for United.

Instead of contesting for promotion, Lidoda Duvha are now fighting for survival. They are now lying in the third-last position on the log, with 12 points accumulated from 13 outings. Jomo Cosmos are now leading the pack with 26 points gained from 13 matches.

Baroka FC rose to the occasion and walloped Santos 4-0 at the Old Pe-ter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday. Baroka’s goals came via Thabang Sel-owa, Mashidi Mokobane, Thabiso Kutumela and Victor Letsoalo. Lamont-

ville Golden Arrows registered their first defeat, following their 1-3 loss to Thanda Royal Zulu at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban.

FC Cape Town fought hard for their 3-1 win over Highlandspark at the NNK Rugby Stadium in Cape Town. Garankuwa United

were too good for Maluti FET College, whom they brutally walloped 4-1 at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa. Cape Town All Stars continued to collect vital points when they beat African Warriors 1-0 at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in Phuthaditshaba.

Sinthumule / Kutamasoccer teams meet

Injured Leopards to face FC Cape Town

Can Lidoda Duvha survive the season?

The affiliates of the Sinthumule/Kutama festive tournament will meet at Benny’s Care’s Stadi-um on Sunday.

According to the media liaison officer of Sin-thumule/Kutama Community Sport Development, Mr Elvis Phathela, the tournament will cater for 16 teams around Sinthumule/Kutama. They have increased the prize money from R5 000 to R10 000 for the champions. They also will receive a new soccer kit, floating trophy and gold medals.

The runners-up will go home with R6 000, new soccer kit and silver medals. The team which will end in third position will go home with R3 000, bronze medals and a new kit. The team who fin-ishes in fourth position will get R2 000 and new soccer kit.

The four teams that lose in the quarterfinal will receive R800 each, while the first-round losers will get R300.

Leopards’ right back, Marks Munyai.

Leopards’ defender, Dunga Munganga.

After losing three matches to Cape Town teams in the mother city over the past two weeks, Black Leopards will be back home this weekend. They will host another Cape Town side, FC Cape Town, at the Thohoyandou Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

It remains to be seen whether Lidoda Duvha will manage to rise to the occasion and collect full points in the match. They must win the match in order to restore their lost pride. Their poor perfor-mance in the last five matches dropped them from the fourth to the third-last position on the log.

The team’s assistant coach, Mr Joel Masutha, remains adamant that his charges will bounce back and bring back happy moments to the fans in the coming matches.

Leopards’ defenders, Dunga Munganga, Thomas Sweswe and Marks Munyai, are expected to have a busy afternoon as the Cape Town strikers, Solly Mphetha and Eric Ntsoeng, are sharpened to kill. On the other hand, Leopards’ front runners, Bon-gani Manana and Ntokozo Mbhele, will punish the visitors if taken for granted.

Thanda Royal Zulu will host Jomo Cosmos at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Baroka will fly to Cape Town where they

will lock horns with Vasco Da Gama at the Parow Park Stadium. Maluti FET College will entertain Witbank Spurs at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in the Free State, and African Warriors will pay a visit to Highlandspark at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa. Lamontville Golden Arrows will travel to the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town where they will meet Cape Town All Stars.

In the two matches that will be played this eve-ning, Milano United will host Santos at the Philipi Stadium in Cape Town, while Royal Eagles will host Garankuwa United at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban.

“Don’t vandalise our sports facilities”

Vhamusanda Vho-Tshifovhedze Madzivhandila (seated third from left) and the ward councilor, Mr TA Mmbadi (seated third from right), pose for a photo with the dignitaries during the ceremony.

Vandalism of sports facilities at Tshakhuma village was severely criticized by vari-ous speakers during a hand-ing-over ceremony held at the Tshakhuma Malaria grounds on Saturday afternoon.

A local traditional leader, Vhamusanda Vho-Tshifo-vhedze Madzivhandila, said that he had attended the final of the Amos Shield Soccer Tour-nament at the same venue three months ago. According to him, it was embarrassing for him to see that there were no toilets at the grounds, a situation which forced the dignitaries to go to nearby homesteads when nature called.

He further revealed that he

had taken it upon himself to ensure that there are ablution facilities at the grounds.

According to him, he ap-proached several local business-men, including the managing director of Mphathe Logis-tics Company, Mr Thinan-davha Maladzhi, for donations. Maladzhi was one of the guests who attended the Amos Shield final.

Vhamusanda Vho-Madzi-vhandila further revealed that it was Maladzhi who had respond-ed positively and agreed to form a partnership with the Tshakhu-ma Community Develompent Trust in the construction of the ablution block at the ground.

Vhamusanda Vho-Madzi-

vhandila is the chairman of the development trust. He stated that their future plans included the provision of floodlights at the grounds. Mr Maladzhi stated that he was disappointed to see that most of the local sports facilities had been vandalized, while others were mere “white elephants”. He cited the local Mulangaphuma Sports Complex as an example.

According to Maladzhi, con-struction work will commence next week. During the ceremo-ny, a local ward councilor, Mr TA Mmbadi, promised the res-idents that he would ensure that there was no shortage of water at the ablution block as they would be using flush toilets.

The newly appointed coach of Bellevue Winners Park, Mr Joel Mongalo, is optimistic that nothing will stand in their way when they meet the overall winners of the SAB League in the provincial final of the Nedbank Cup at a venue still to be announced in three weeks’ time. Bellevue booked a place in the provincial final after beating Mosesetjane All Stars 5-1 at the Ephraim Mohale Stadium in Modimolle last Sunday. Winners Park’s way to the final went via The Dolphins FC, whom they beat 2-0 in their opening match at the Nkowankowa Stadium. They also crushed Joe Express 4-1 at the same venue before proceeding to the Ephraim Mohale Stadium. Mongalo coached teams such as Vhembe FC and The Dolphins FC before joining Bellevue Winners Park at the beginning of this season.

Joe Express started the new season with a bang, following their 5-0 victory over the defending champions, Magezi FC, in their ABC Motsepe League match at the Makwarela Stadium last Wednesday.

The game started an hour later than the scheduled 15:00 kick-off time, due to the unavailability of the match offi cials.

Express made an attempt to score two minutes into the game. Their overlapping midfielder, Moses Mafela, shot wide from inside the box after receiving a neat pass from his captain, Thembisani Nevhulamba.

The keeper of Magezi, Thabiso Mabu-sela, was forced to work overtime through-out the fi rst half. Mabusela blocked Simon Ramphabana’s close-range ground cutter in the 24th minute. He sustained a knee injury during the incident.

Mabusela was in the thick of things again 10 minutes later. This time around he braved Thembisani Nevhulamba’s half volley. No goal was scored during the fi rst stanza.

Express were awarded a free kick just outside the box nine minutes into the last half. Thembisani Nevhulamba scored from the place kick with a half-volley. Magezi lost shape soon after the goal.

Nevhulamba was on target again in the 64th minute, following a great pass from Simon Ramphabana.

As if they were leading, Magezi start-ed to play defensive football and were severely punished for that. Nevhulamba completed his hat trick when he gave the ball the fi nal touch after a scramble within the box.

The last two goals were scored by Si-mon Ramphabana. He fl icked in the ball after a great pass by Nevhulamba in the 78th minute. Ramphabana beat the keeper again with a volley four minutes before the referee, Mr Daniel Rathogwa, blew the fi nal whistle.
