... as Polokwane prepares for worst

YOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

Local business is preparing for the worst case scenario in terms of management of a crippling electricity crisis as the country

is still reeling with the far reaching repercus-sions of load shedding the past week.

The 2014 Festive Season will go down in history books as a final culmination of a spell of bad tidings for the people of Polokwane. Left with little promise of relief amid a prevailing global economic slump, constant reminders of the ripple effects of crime, ongoing corrupt practices, continuous poor

Principal assaulted over school report From page 1expressing her anger over the grading on her toddler’s report that was handed out the previ-ous Friday.

“A male employee of the school had to intervene to prevent the fuming mother from doing more damage than already done. She was out of control. She slapped me in the face, tore up her child’s report and broke my desk,” Verveen claimed.

The angry mother then allegedly wanted to get hold of Verveen’s laptop to break it but in the process grabbed her by the hair. Verveen, who managed to break free from her grip, recalled that when she threatened to phone the Police and insisted that the woman leave the premises the phone was allegedly slapped out of her hand. According to Verveen she was still exhausted after the ordeal she allegedly had to go through.

Verveen stated that she kept on demanding for the mother to leave the premises to avoid creating an unpleasant scene in front of other

children and parents. She further stated that she was even willing to pay back the child’s school fees in a desperate attempt to get the woman to leave. “The argument then turned into a fight over money. She continued screaming ‘I want my money’,” Verveen recollected.

According to Verveen she has had to face the annoying mother on a continuous basis since the child was first enrolled at the school. The woman allegedly had regular issues with the education her son was receiving at the school. “I became tired of the insults from this mother for the past two years. Her son had certain issues but since he was enrolled with us he has improved tremendously. He is a happy child when he is at school,” Verveen said.

The argument allegedly erupted because the child’s report and grading was wrongly interpreted by the mother. “I am not only a principal sitting in my office the whole day; I work with the children daily. I know each and every child’s good points and shortcomings and I double check grading made by educa-tors. If I am not satisfied I will personally reassess a child to ensure the correct grading on his or her report as per the grading score sheet provided by the Department of Educa-tion,” Verveen said.

The Provincial Police Communications Department confirmed that a case was opened against the mother. Polokwane Police Spokes-person Lesiba Ramoshaba said it was still under investigation.

Aging tar road in Dalmada to get faceliftWARREN BLUNT>>[email protected]

Residents living on the smallholdings in the Dalmada/Baskoppies area are advised that the 3,7 km tar road D2526 from the R71 will be upgraded in the new year.

According to the project managers, Wa Hadzhi Poject Managers the rehabilitation of the road is expected to commence on 5 January and continue until 30 June. The pro-ject will entail base repairs, asphalt overlay, edge beam construction and repairs, and the milling of certain portions of the road. The consulting engineers will be Bohlale Consulting Engineers and the project value is estimated at approximately R7 million. The Technical Officer for Wa Hadzhi Project Managers, Floyd Mambolo has advised Dalmada/Baskoppies residents to exercise patience during the project and expect traffic delays, stop/go control points, an increase in migrant labour involved with construction as well as dust and noise pollution during normal working hours. The residents in the area have been petitioning for the upgrad-ing of the road for a number of years and their appeal has finally been heard of which they are extremely grateful accord-ing to Dalmada Community Policing Forum (CPF) Secretary Dawn Hattingh. She added that the consulting engineers and social consultant on the project have been com-municating with the CPF on the anticipated challenges to residents during the con-struction process and residents of the area will be updated as the project progresses.

Limpopo Premier Stanley Mathabatha on Tuesday lambasted mayors of various municipalities in the province for not be-

ing present at an important meeting to discuss the revised Limpopo Development Plan (LDP). While all members of the Executive Council were present most mayors were conspicuous in their absence. The Premier instructed the culprits to give a written explanation on why they could not attend the meeting, which is vi-tal in delivering future services to communities by not later than tomorrow (Friday). Mathaba-tha stressed that mayors have a key role to play in achieving the objectives of the LDP in the next five years, therefore his displeasure with their non-attendance.

The LDP is aligned to the National Develop-ment Plan and builds on the foundation of the Limpopo Economic Growth and Development Plan (LEGDP) from 2009 to 2014 that lapsed in March this year. The strategies in the LEGDP were reviewed in order to maintain positive momentum for development and to overcome shortcomings that were revealed during their implementation cycles.

During his opening address on Tuesday, Mathabatha said future water provision in Limpopo has been identified as one of the key priorities for future economic development. The main thrust of the LDP for 2015 to 2019 is to reduce poverty, unemployment and the high levels of inequality through sustainable economic development, social development and transformation as a means to growing the economy. The Premier expressed the desire of growing the economy in Limpopo by five per-

cent in 2019 and stressed the purpose of the LDP is to serve as a reference point for policy makers in government, the private sector, civil society and donors with regard to the future economic development priorities for Limpopo.

Further purposes of the LDP are to align the contribution from Limpopo to the national me-dium term strategy framework over the next five years. The LDP will be used to provide a framework for the strategic plans of each pro-vincial government department as well as the sector plans of district and local municipalities. It will also create a structure for the construc-tive participation of the private sector and organised labour towards the achievement of provincial growth and development objectives, and encourage citizens to actively promote higher standards of living in their communities.

The draft document of the LDP states that the vision of the province remains to fulfil the potential for prosperity in a socially cohesive, sustainable and peaceful manner. It continued that the vision will be attained by way of a mission statement that emphasises participa-tory leadership aimed at promoting excellence and an entrepreneurial spirit, improved service delivery, facilitation of decent job creation and systematic poverty reduction.

Mathabatha emphasised that to achieve set targets and goals of the LDP, the provincial government will rely on the support and part-nership of all the stakeholders. “We will require the buy-in and support of business, labour, the religious sector, traditional leaders and civil so-ciety and let me conclude by inviting everyone to participate freely in this summit with a view to enrich our resolutions,” Mathabatha said before getting down to the important matters to be discussed.

A marquee tent pitched in Gemsbok Street on Saturday to apparently host a private event caused major unhappiness among resi-dents as the marquee and a second smaller tent spanned the entire width of the street.

Development plan for Lim

Guests at the event used pavements in adjacent Springbok Street as a parking area.

Polokwane Mu-nicipal Spokesperson Malesela Maubane said application for permission was received in Septem-ber 2014 to pitch a tent in the area. “The owner however devi-ated from the agree-ment not to block the street thus disturbing the flow of traffic. If the road surface was damaged a fine of up to R1 000 will be issued,” he said.

Democratic Alli-ance (DA) Ward 20 Councillor Franco Marx stated on the ward’s facebook page that he investi-gated the matter on Saturday. According

to Marx liquor was allegedly being sold on the premises. He further stated that neither a letter of permission from the municipality nor a liquor retail licence could be produced by the person, apparently the home owner, hosting the party.

Marx could not be contacted for further comment.

From page 1service delivery, water woes in a time of drought and unsettling updates of unfolding drama across international borders, a barrage of ensuing power outages was the last thing anyone would want to deal with this time of year.

Forced to trouble shoot due to load shed-ding, the picture looks bleak as all indicators predict that things are going to take a turn for the worst in near future. Eskom is fast becoming the expletive as residents of the city, like the rest of the country, are compelled to get used to the circumstances.

Continuous bad news for residentsThe bad news seemingly keeps on coming. Just as the city started getting used to deal-ing with miniature black-outs after days of being bombarded by warnings of a dwindling national power supply, Polokwane Municipal-ity issued an alert about a water crisis in four suburbs caused by load shedding.

Power outages from the load shedding programme at Olifantspoort and Ebenezer plants were creating more problems to the supply of water to the city as it was receiving less water, which was insufficient to reach high lying areas in Bendor, Flora Park, Serala View and Ster Park, stated Polokwane Municipality Marketing and Communications Manager Tidimalo Chuene in

Crippling crisis as city prepares for worst

the media release Tuesday morning. The initial alert preceded bulk text messages to ratepay-ers, informing them of schedules for dispatched water tankers to assist residents in the affected areas late that afternoon and first thing yester-day (Wednesday) morning.

At the time of going to press the municipal-ity simultaneously communicated Stage 2 and 3 load shedding schedules across 14 blocks or ar-eas of the city, indicating that consumers should visit www.polokwane.gov.za for more informa-tion. It was advised that the website should be checked for daily updates.

Muni accused of energy wastageWhile communication on the latest crisis remains a priority, the conduct of Polokwane Municipality was being questioned at a crucial time of heightened electricity consumption awareness. The institution has been reportedly keeping on the lights without heeding calls about street lights remaining on round the clock for the past month. A resident said he phoned the municipality several times about the matter, but to no avail. “Why should we save electricity, but the municipality is too lazy

to replace a few day/night switches?” Com-ment is still awaited in this regard.

Thus far load shedding has proven to have sweeping implications, also for road users. This week Polokwane Observer arrived at an accident scene at an intersection in Welgelegen allegedly caused by traffic lights not being in operation due to an electricity outage.

Public healthcare facilities geared for situation

Generators at Limpopo’s public hospitals were in place and functional, said Health Depart-ment spokesperson Macks Lesufi. He added that they did not have any crisis at any of the hospitals across the province.

Private hospital constantly monitors situation

On Tuesday Mediclinic Limpopo Technical Man-ager Jaco Jacobs sketched a picture of intense assessing to check whether all systems were in place at the private hospital the previous two days. The situation across South Africa was be-ing monitored by their head office, he added. He was not aware of any emergencies that arose due to load shedding the past weekend

as well as last when they experienced power cuts. All theatre and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) equipment at the hospital was battery-powered and 15 seconds after the power supply being cut the generator would kick in, he explained. He alluded to them already having made ar-rangements for additional diesel supply in case of resources running low at a time of high risk.

Jacobs referred to predictions of the overall picture countrywide possibly changing after January 2015 and said in a crisis situation they would, however, still be able to render normal services to their patients.

Business feeling financial pinchThe past week or so Polokwane businesses suffered setbacks when interruptions in power supply saw scores of entities closing their doors to wait out imposed periods of dark-ness that led to loss in income. These included tenants in an upmarket mall not fortunate enough to trade with generators buzzing in the background. At outlets with emergency power supply business went ahead unabated, although in half-dim light.

Impact on local economyAccording to Polokwane Chamber of Business (PCOB) President Simphiwe Mdlalose they would want to actively engage stakeholders in a summit early next year to come up with action plans if the situation prevailed. The impact on business was of great concern to the PCOB, he said and added that they have already received com-plaints about members feeling the financial pinch due to business being affected by load shedding. He referred to water shortages also impacting on the local economy and creating a very unfortu-nate situation. Mdlalose raised the opinion that business had a responsibility to support initiatives aimed at turning around the situation.

All suburbs affectedThe last few days even the less densely popu-lated suburbs across Polokwane were hit by load shedding, something out of the ordinary in the past. It has caused households and business entities alike to reconsider the need for alternative power supply. A merchandise manager of a retail chain store said they had experienced an increase in sales of generators since Friday, having sold between 20 and 25 units by Sunday, mostly to contractors.

Stockist runs out of generator supplies On Monday the manager of a retail chain store on the other side of the city testified to running out of stock after having sold about ten genera-tors since last week, many going to normal-sized households. As he took Polokwane Observer’s call he was in the process of assisting a restau-rant manager opting to purchase a generator, he indicated. He confirmed they were surely expect-ing an increase in sales. It was learnt the store was running on two generators, kicking in 30 seconds after a power cut without any inconven-ience to shoppers.

Clients keep diesel stock topped upLocal businessman Johan Potgieter, owner of Sasol Bendor where a large generator keeps operations going in case of a power cut, referred to smaller business entities suffering at times of load shedding. He reckoned that those who had been in doubt about acquiring generators by now must have been convinced of finally purchasing a unit. He mentioned they had several clients with generators who generally kept an eye on their diesel stock not to run out of fuel. Potgieter attested to a sense of despondency when considering what pos-sibly awaited South Africans in terms of load shedding.

While Grade 1 to 11 learners will have already received their school reports before the start of the December

school holidays, Limpopo’s Grade 12 learners still have an anxious time ahead before they receive the most important results in their schooling careers.

The results of learners that wrote the Na-tional Senior Certificate exams will be released nationally on 5 January and Limpopo’s results will be published on 6 January. The Depart-ment of Education will be honouring all the top Grade 12 learners for 2014 in Limpopo at the Protea Hotel Ranch Resort on 6 January, according to Spokesperson Paena Galane.

Results for learners that wrote Independ-ent Examination Board final exams will be published on 7 January.

Serious water challenges looming for residents WARREN BLUNT>>[email protected]

Residents in Polokwane are urged to use water sparingly over the Festive Season after the Executive Mayor of Polokwane, Thembi Nkadimeng highlighted the low level of some of the reservoirs supplying water to the city at the strategic meeting of the revised Limpopo Development Plan on Tuesday.

“Polokwane Municipality is appealing to residents in the city and other areas to use water sparingly as the reservoir levels are very low. Already some residential areas within the city are affected by the water shortage. The current load shedding by Eskom has affected the pump stations at Ebenezer and Olifantspoort and the city is getting less water and not enough to reach the high-lying areas in Bendor, Flora Park, Serala View and Ster Park. Serious water challenges will continue due to load shed-ding and the lack of rain,” Nkadimeng said at the meeting.

The municipality is presently providing water tankers to provide temporary aid to affected areas, the municipality stated in a media release. The municipality will com-municate a schedule for water tankers once more tankers are sourced, according to the Manager of Communications and Marketing, Tidimalo Chuene.

On Tuesday the water levels in the 50 and 30 mega litre reservoirs stood at 9 and 4% respectively. The reservoir in Potgieter Street was 75% full, the main reservoir in Seshego measured 13 % and the reservoir in Extension 34 remained at a steady 95%.

>> Relocation process started more than two years agoRC MYBURGH>>[email protected]

Inhabitants of Extension 78 were under pressure to find temporary dwelling when Polokwane Municipality commenced with

the process of demolishing vacant shacks and shacks built on illegally occupied stands in the area last Friday as part of a project, initiated more than two years ago but halted earlier this year, to relocate residents from Disteneng to the land.

Polokwane Municipal Communications and Marketing Manager, Tidimalo Chuene

said Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng met with residents of Disteneng, across the dual carriageway from Extension 78, on 24 August last year to discuss the mechanism of resuming the relocation and resettlement process. Polokwane Observer reported on the project during which the municipality relocated residents from Disteneng to Exten-sion 106/109 in November 2013 with the undertaking of being relocated to Extension 78 later.

“It was agreed in the community meet-ing then that those residents who are illegally occupying stands at Disteneng will be relocated to Extension 78 but the project was then halted,” Chuene said. She did not provide reasons for the project to be stopped.

She added that since the project was

halted a new Project Steering Committee (PSC) was appointed who had a meeting with municipal representatives last Tuesday to proceed with the relocation process.

“The first phase of resuming with the process of relocation was to determine the status of all people currently occupying stands in Extension 78. A list was compiled by the municipality of all households and their eligi-bility to stay in the area. Now the municipal-ity embarked on the process to demolish all illegal shacks whose owners cannot be traced or that was illegally built,” Chuene said, adding that those residents who are removed will be removed with the advice to submit their details at the municipality to be enrolled on a waiting list for stands in other areas of the municipality.

Limpopo Police made a major breakthrough last Monday when drugs with an estimated street value of more than R1 million were seized during two separate incidents.

South African citizen, Fortunate Sethole and two Nigerians, Chozoba Cosmos and Ben Ihanacho appeared in the Lephalale Magistrate’s Court last Wednesday on charges of possession and dealing in illicit drugs and the case was postponed until next week when they are expected to apply for bail. They were remanded in custody.

Meanwhile, Kenyan national, Ruweiypa Abudalani and Somalian, Zachaliya Abudala-ni will also appear in the Jeppe Magistrate’s Court in Gauteng on the same charges. They are also still in custody.

In the first incident Limpopo Police received information of a woman who was allegedly smuggling drugs in the Lephalale area. “Sethole was apprehended and found in possession of 18 rocks of cocaine to the value of R250 000 concealed in two snack packs,” Provincial Police Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi said. He added that the woman is from Kempton Park and told Police she was sent to deliver the goods. “Police set a trap for Cosmos and Ihanacho and they were arrested soon after the drugs were seized,” he said.

In the second incident Police searched a truck transporting clothes through the Groblersbrug border post and found 12 600 Rohypnol (Flunitrazepam) tablets concealed in boxes. “The driver denied knowledge of the drugs and referred Police to its owners in Jeppe, Johannesburg and they were arrested. Rohypnol is better known as date rape drug as it commonly used to drug a rape victim,” Mulaudzi said. The street value of the drugs is estimated to be R756 000.

Dinsdagaand het die jaarlikse herdenking van die Slag van Bloedrivier by die Doorn-kraal-feesterrein in Polokwane afgeskop.

Die program is met geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika deur Johan Willemse, voorsitter van die feesterrein en Hannes Heyman, leier van die Vryheidsfront Plus (VF) met skriflesing en gebed geopen. Die program sal van 18:30 elke aand die week tot Maandag voortduur. Die slag van Bloedrivier is ‘n historiese gebeure eie aan Suid-Afrika. Voortrekkers het ‘n gelofte voor God afgelê op die dag dat, sou hulle ge-spaar word tydens die aanval wat op hulle gewag het, hulle ‘n kerk sal bou en die dag as ‘n Sab-bat herdenk en hulle nageslag van God sal vertel.

Daarom word daar al vir twintig jaar, sewe dae voor 16 Desember, ‘n gelofte-fees by die feesterein in Polokwane gehou, om die Gelofte wat op 16 De-sember 1838 gemaak is te eerbiedig. 16 Desember sal die verrigtinge om 11:00 begin. ‘n Jeugprogram word deur Rina du Toit aangebied vir die jonger generasie. Histo-riese vlae sal gehys word en kranse sal by die monumente op die feesterein gelê word. Die feesrede sal deur Mark Schnehage, ‘n advokaat, en Marius Nel, ‘n professor, gelewer word. Na afloop van die verrigtinge sal braaiv-leisvure beskikbaar wees, waar feesgangers met hulle piekmandjies saam met ander fees-gangers ‘n gesellige middagete kan geniet.

Die feesterein het selfs ‘n klein museum in die feessaal met indrukwekkende oudhede en tekeninge teen die mure.

Alle inwoners word uitgenooi na die fees. Vir meer inligting, skakel Johan Willemse by 015 297 5922/ 072 197 3134.

Social worker, lawyer in dockRC MYBURGH>>[email protected]

While South Africa concluded the 16 Days of Activism against Woman and Child Abuse Campaign on Tuesday, woman and children around the country remain the victims of terrifying deeds such as rape and assault. A 38-year-old woman, reportedly a social worker, was at the time of going to press still in custody after she allegedly hit her child with a mug in the face on Tuesday. The child was taken to a nearby hospital while the mother was arrested and charged with assault with the intention to do grievous bodily harm.

Seshego Police Spokesperson Mo-themane Malefo confirmed the woman’s presence in the holding cells and said she was expected to appear in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Wednesday).

In the meantime Malefo confirmed that a local lawyer was also being detained and expected to appear in the same court on charges of rape. “I cannot provide any de-tails on the case. I can only confirm that he is also expected to appear soon facing a charge of alleged rape,” Malefo said.

Univen’s alleged serial killer in courtGodfrey Ntsieni, a university student sus-pected of four murders, rape and assault at the University of Venda and surrounds was expected to appear in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Wednesday) for outstanding evidence in the case to be finalised.

It is alleged that he killed two women and two children, aged eight and nine, in separate incidents earlier this year. Ntsieni has been charged on four counts of murder, one of attempted murder, five of rape, three of aggravated robbery and three charges of kidnapping.

He was arrested in July following the suspected murder of Brenda Ndove who was found stabbed to death and her personal items stolen on 18 July. Her body was found near the administration bloc of the university.

Ntsieni was reportedly found in posses-sion of Sandy Thagisa’s identification card and cell phone after she was assaulted and robbed in May.

Also found in his possession was a cell phone belonging to Ndove and a hairpin be-longing to another murdered woman whose body was found on the university’s premises in March.

The bodies of two minor girls were also found near the university. They were believed to have been kidnapped from school. It is reported that the nine-year-old girl’s body was found at Golgotha Village in April while the eight-year-old girl’s body was found close to the university in June. Both were allegedly raped before strangled to death.

Man drowns at WaterlandA late night party at Waterland Shisanyama took a turn for the worst when a 21-year-old man allegedly fell in the pool and drowned on Monday morning.

Waterland Shisanyama made news head-lines in September when African National Congress Milo Malatjie Branch Chairperson, Boy Mamabolo was allegedly shot by former municipal councillor and businessman Jacob Lebogo during a music festival.

Polokwane Police Spokesperson Lesiba Ramoshaba said the circumstances of the Monday’s incident are still subject to investigation. “We are still not sure what happened. It is reported that the incident happened between 02:30 and 04:00 when the allegedly intoxicated man, while dancing, tripped and landed in the pool.”

Why anyone did not notice the incident is still unknown and Police are still investigating a case of inquest.

Missing boy found dead, two in courtTwo men appeared in the Mankweng Magis-trate’s Court on Monday after a boy, Phetolo Letsoalo (7) was reported missing early last week and his body found two days later in an abandoned shack adjacent to a house belonging to of one of the suspects at Ga Mothapo Mantjane.

Mankweng Police Spokesperson Matimba Maluleke confirmed that Louis Nonyana and Wilson Ramoshaba appeared on charges of murder and the case was remanded to 5 January 2015. They remain in custody.

“The boy was reported missing last Tues-day and with the help of the Ga Mothapo community and the search and rescue team, Police found the boy’s body on Thursday. Angry community members damaged the one suspect’s car and house after accusing him of kidnapping. He was then arrested and his accomplice’s apprehension followed soon afterwards,” Maluleke said.

Residents beat robber to deathThe name of a suspect who was allegedly killed by an angry mob from Mhangweni Vil-lage near Tzaneen on Saturday can still not be revealed by Police.

Tzaneen Police Spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe reported that a man and woman were walking home at around 23:00 when six men approached and allegedly robbed them of cash, cell phones and shoes. “The man and woman alarmed residents who gave chase. One of the men was appre-hended by community members who beat him with sticks and stones while the other five got away,” Ngoepe said. The man, in his twenties, died on the scene.

Ngoepe cautioned people not to take the law into their own hands and rather let Police deal with such cases. Investigations continue.

Tehuis vir Bejaardes oor Kersfees te maak.Hy het onlangs ‘n draai by Bella Vista gemaak en ervaar hoe

dankbaar die sewentien mense is wat daar bly ten spyte van die min besittings wat hulle het. Frederick het tydens sy besoek besef die bejaardes het ‘n tekort aan klere en beddegoed, asook speletjies om hulle mee besig te hou.

Hy en Maricke het opnuut besef hoe bevoorreg hulle eintlik is, gemeet aan die besittings van die bejaardes.

Nou wil hulle voor Kersfees die behoeftige inwon-ers help met enige donasie in die vorm van kos, skoene, klere en beddegoed. Frederick en Maricke wil graag Kersfeesoggend geskenkpakkies vir die inwoners met spesiale bederfgoedjies uitdeel en Kersliedjies sing.

The area around Flora Park Dam was a hive of activity with the official switching-on

of the festive lights by Polokwane Executive Mayor, Thembi Nkadi-meng followed by a spectacular fireworks display on Friday night.

Revellers were out in force from early in the evening to eagerly await one of the highlights of the year on the calendar of the Polokwane Municipality. Although the vicinity around the dam was crowded with onlookers and vehicles, no incidences of unruly behaviour were reported by the

authorities, according to municipal spokesperson Malesela Maubane.

During her Festive Season message to the residents of the city before the lights were activated, Nkadimeng said it is the time of the year to spread joy and love to those less privileged. She continued by wishing everybody a safe and healthy Christmas and to spare a thought for those in need or unable to spend time with their families. She also wished those residents that will be visiting other provinces a safe journey on the country’s roads. The switching-on of the festive lights marks the official start of the Festive Season for the people of Polokwane.

Nineteen cops in dock over illegal cigarettesRC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

National Police Spokesperson Solomon Makgale could not provide the names of the 19 Police officers from Limpopo who were arrested on Friday for their involvement in allegedly distrib-uting illegal cigarettes and could only confirm that they have appeared in various courts on Monday and all were granted bail between R1 000 and R2 000 each.

Makgale could not confirm their next court appearances but said that they were suspend-ed from the service without remuneration.

A press release issued last Friday stated that National Police Commissioner Riah Phi-yega joined a special task team of members of the Crime Intelligence Unit, detectives and the Finance Intelligence Unit to arrest six warrant officers and 13 constables who could face pos-sible charges of corruption, defeating the ends of justice and money laundering. Nine of the officers are from Morebeng Police Station, six from Maleboho, three from Louis Trichardt and one is attached to the Botlokwa Police Station.

Phiyega reportedly addressed the media at Morebeng on Friday and is quoted to have said that the task team had been working on the investigation for nearly two years, gathering credible evidence against the officers. “They were allegedly involved in escorting vehicles carrying illegal cigarettes from Zimbabwe in exchange for money. They allegedly demanded bribes from people smuggling cigarettes into the country and would then reportedly escort the vehicle carrying the cigarettes, ensur-ing the suspects evaded arrests by other law enforcement officers, instead of arresting them themselves,” Phiyega said.

She emphasised that the Police would stop at nothing in their efforts to root out corrup-tion in the service. “South Africa deserves to be served by professional, law abiding Police officers whose mandate it was to create a safe and secure country for all. Police officers are not above the law. We are the custodians of law and order and we cannot afford to fail the people who rely on us for safety and security. There is no room for corrupt Police officers in a democratic South Africa and we will inten-sify our intelligence-led operations to ensure all Police officers with criminal mindsets are removed from the service,” she stressed.

Botsing by kruisingLEANDRI VAN SChALKWyK>>[email protected]

Gemoedere het Vrydagmiddag op ‘n onge-lukstoneel by die kruising van Potgieterlaan en Van Warmelostraat hoog geloop oor wie vir die botsing verantwoordelik was

Rita Groenewald, die bestuurder van van die een motor, beweer dat die lig in haar guns groen was en die bestuurder van die ander voertuig die rooi lig geignoreer het. Groenewald kon volgens haar nie uitswaai om ‘n botsing te vermy nie aangesien daar aan haar regterkant ook voertuie was. Verbygangers beweer die verkeersligte was ten tyde van die ongeluk buite werking en dat die kruising soos ‘n vierrigtingstop benader moes word. Die bestuurder van die ander voertuig wou geen kommentaar lewer nie en niemand is tydens die ongeluk beseer nie.

Motorriste moet veral tydens beurtkrag-periodes uiters versigtig wees wanneer hulle ‘n verkeerslig nader en die prosedure vir ‘n vierrigtingstop volg.

In the spirit of the Festive Season Limpopo Guest Manor hosted a Christmas party for the children at the Polokwane Welfare

Complex on Monday. As a family oriented busi-ness, social responsibility is very important to Limpopo Guest Manor.

Christmas decorations, beverages, presents and happy children were seen everywhere.

The opening prayer by Phillip Moila, a local Bishop was followed by a welcome message from Mmabogoshi Msiza, owner of Limpopo Guest Manor.

Lunch was served before Father Christmas made his appearance to hand out gifts to the delighted children. Lots of entertainment and a jumping castle kept them busy for hours afterwards.

Limpopo Guest Manor donated R10 000 so that the children could go on an outing and see a film. Limpopo Guest Manor gave backpacks with a lunch box, juice bottle, pencil case and a toy to all the children going to Grade 1 next year. They further assisted a Grade 12 learner from the Polokwane Welfare Centre with a dress and pampered her before her matric farewell.

Mzisa says that Limpopo Guest Manor’s mis-sion is to help neglected and abused children and that she believes every child must live in an environment free from abuse.

Limpopo Guest Manor to thanked Moila and his wife Thembeliwe, for joining the event, blessing the occasion and delivering a message of Christmas cheer and joy to the children.

Following a nerve wrecking battle between 20 Miss Limpopo 2015 and Miss Limpopo Teen 2015 finalists on the ramp, the

judges’ decision that Mosiah Tau and Andile Neluvhalane are worthy to wear the respective titles of the Miss Limpopo pageant was met by loud cheers and tears of joy.

The pageant was hosted at Sun Meropa on Saturday evening and finalists entertained guests and the judges in swimwear followed by their self creations and lastly elegant even-ing dresses. Outfits made from recycled plastic bags, newspapers and even condoms clearly reflected finalists’ motivation and inspiration behind their creations.

Months of preparing for the big night ended well for the top five, Miss Limpopo 2015 finalists Kedibone Mohlapamafatsi, Lebogang Ratabana, Zelmari Bacher, Mosiah Tau and Ivy Mabunda.

Not only was Mosiah crowned Miss Limpopo 2015 but also named Miss Photogenic while Bacher and Mabunda can proudly wear their titles as 1st and 2nd Princess respectively for the next year. Bacher was also named Miss Con-geniality while Mohlapamafatsi was announced Top Model.

In a new category for the Miss Limpopo pageant, Amanda Chauke was awarded the title Beauty with a Brain.

Competition between younger finalists were just as tense with Andile Neluvhalane, Tshegofatso Monyepao, Cleo-Anne Manamela, Jané Bacher and Obakeng Kgwedi making it to the top five.

Andile was crowned as Miss Limpopo Teen 2015 and Miss Congeniality while her 1st Prin-cess Tshegofatso was also crowned Top Model.

Second Princess Obakeng also took the crown as Miss Photogenic while Talane Mahlatjie was announced Beauty with a Brain.

>> A day full of interactive fun and games>> You can also make a differ-enceLEANDRI VAN SCHALKWYK>>[email protected]

Children from the Lethlanthene Drop-In-Centre (DIC) in Blood River were surprised when KFC Add Hope campaign

team members treated them to a Christmas party on Saturday.

The children enjoyed a Christmas feast of interactive fun and games like stuck in the mud and musical statues while treats like ice lollies, candy and cake made for an extra treat during the day. A special person from the North Pole, Father Christmas visited the centre to hand out toys and Add Hope T-shirts to the children.

Afterwards they received a meal sponsored by Polokwane KFC. For the children it was a day to remember, they could barely contain their ex-citement, they were full of energy and it took all the team members’ reserves and lots of upbeat games and activities to rid them of the adrenaline.

The party was part of KFC’s Add Hope Marketing and Awareness Strategy. The R2 Add Hope donation is a unique initiative started by KFC to feed hungry children in South Africa and has 90 national beneficiar-ies and various local beneficiaries.

Lethlanthene DIC is a local beneficiary

which benefits from Add Hope funds. They receive fund-ing of R80 000 which is renew-able every year and is exclu-sively used for feeding. Lethlanthende DIC does not only provide meals for the children but they also help with homework. All the funds towards the Lethlanthene DIC are donated through the Add Hope Campaign and KFC.

Good samaritans can also make a differ-ence in someone’s life and help feed a hungry child by just adding R2 to the cost of your next meal at KFC.

Die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) in die provinsie het Vrydag ‘n splinternuwe vrieskas aan Good-hope Primary School in Westenburg geskenk. Jacques Smalle, provinsiale leier van die DA sê dat hulle dié skool gekies het oor sy geskied-kundige verbintenis met oudpresident Nelson Mandela wat die skool in 2001 geopen het en Mandela altyd na kinders uitgereik het. Dié gewilde wêreldikoon en -leier was ook Vrydag ‘n jaar oorlede.

Smalle en DA-lede wil in Mandela se voetspore volg en het die skool genader om vas te stel wat hulle die nodigste het. ‘n Vrieskas kan van groot hulp wees omdat die skool elke Vrydag koeldrank, roomys en ysies verkoop ter stuiwing van hul geldkas. Die DA wil graag in die toekoms meer vir die skool doen.

The recent Legal Aid South Africa National Achiever Awards illustrated the organi-sation’s achievements opportunely in

that, in the same week that the organisation honours its top performers, the Constitutional Court sets aside a conviction in a matter that was successfully appealed by one of the win-ners of the highest accolade - Lawyer of the Year: Higher Courts.

Civil Lawyer of the Year Award went to Ms Taryn Fitzgerald of the Thohoyandou Justice Centre in recognition of exceptional technical litigation skills exhibited in representing clients in the Civil Court at the equivalent of Regional and High Court level

The depth of expertise and entirety of Legal Aid SA’s work is not often recognised due to the vastness of the organisation, which has a national footprint of over 128 offices.

Covering all nine provinces, as well as all criminal courts in the country, Legal Aid SA law-yers work hard to ensure that all South Africans in the criminal justice system go through a fair trial. Most of the organisation’s satellite offices are situated in remote areas such as Kuruman, Delareyville, Lephalale, Eerstehoek and Ixopo, to name but a few.

“In an organisation as big as Legal Aid SA, with almost 3 000 employees working in differ-ent parts of the country, people cannot see the entirety of the organisation’s work,” Legal Aid SA spokesperson Mpho Phasha remarked.

He added that the organisation’s lawyers do remarkable work, which sometimes requires them to go beyond their call of duty. “Our skilful attorneys represent individuals in serious and complex cases, but we don’t usually draw atten-tion to the work of individual staff as we work as a whole,” Phasha explained adding that deliver-ing public services within a limited budget is not easy feat yet despite budget constraints and an increased demand for legal aid the organisation

has maintained an excellent performance record, delivering on its mandate to increase access to justice.

In the last financial year, the organisation assisted poor and vulnerable persons in 776 301 legal and advice matters. It is the hard work and dedication of all Legal Aid SA staff, under the dedicated leadership of the managers and execu-tives at all levels within the organisation that makes this possible.

Legal Aid SA CEO, Vidhu Vedalankar is quoted to have said: “Year after year we expect our em-ployees to deliver the highest standard of service possible under tight budget limitations.”

The award programme was established to recognise superior performance, meaningful impact, the extent to which these lawyers and advocates live the Legal Aid SA culture and values of passion for justice, ubuntu, integrity, accountability, service excellence and people centred development, in representing and making access to justice a reality for the poor. The awards also recognise support staff which plays an important role in ensuring operations run smoothly and efficiently behind the scenes.

The 2014 category winners are:Lawyer of the Year Award - Higher Courts Senior litigators, Advocates Nzame Skibi

of Mafikeng Justice Centre and Lilla Crouse of Port Elizabeth Justice Centre.

This award recognises and rewards a senior attorney or advocate who serves in the higher courts (High Court, Supreme Court of Appeal, and Constitutional Court) and who exhibits exceptional technical litigation competence and expertise to deliver quality legal services in representing clients.

Lawyer of the Year Award - Regional Court

Mr Pieter Botha, Soshanguve Justice Centre This award recognises and rewards a

lawyer who serves in the regional court and

who exhibits exceptional technical litigation competence and expertise to deliver quality legal services in representing criminal clients.

Lawyer of Year (Including Candidate Attorney) – District Court

Ms Bonisiwe Gasa, Vryheid Justice CentreThis Award recognizes and rewards a prom-

ising lawyer or candidate attorney who serves the District Courts and who exhibits exception-al technical litigation competence and potential expertise to deliver quality legal services.

Civil Lawyer of the Year AwardMs Taryn Fitzgerald, Thohoyandou Justice

CentreThis Award recognises and rewards a law-

yer who exhibits exceptional technical litigation competence and expertise to deliver quality legal services in representing clients in civil matters.

Paralegal of the Year AwardMr Pitso Tsiloane, Kroonstad Justice CentreThis Award recognises and rewards a pa-

ralegal who exhibits exceptional passion, talent and unusual resourcefulness by using acquired knowledge and skills to tackle and resolve client issues and properly referring issues they are unable to resolve to suitable agencies/or-ganisations/experts.

*Illustrating our achievements very op-portunely in the same week that we honoured one of our Top Lawyers, Advocate Lilla Crouse, from the Port Elizabeth Justice Centre, the Constitutional Court this week set aside the conviction of a traditional healer from rural Transkei found in possession of a vulture’s claw, which she used to make traditional medi-cine. Advocate Crouse successfully appealed the traditional healer’s conviction, arguing that the client had acted in oblivion, hence it was not a criminal offence. The Constitutional Court ruled that the former Transkei regulations, in terms of the matter are unconstitutional.

New South African Reserve Bank (SARB) Gov-ernor, Lesetja Kganyago brought his A-team along for the second and last Monetary Policy Forum (MPF) meeting for the year in Limpopo at the Pietersburg Club last Wednesday.

As a son of Limpopo’s soil, Kganyago opened the meeting himself and gave a layman’s and easily understandable explana-tion of what lies in store for ordinary South Africans regarding future monetary policy, the outlook on inflation, the factors impacting on it, and the SARB’s inflation and economic growth forecasts for the future. Afterwards, SARB Economist David Fowks gave an inter-esting presentation of the international eco-nomic and financial activities that motivate the rationale behind the bank’s monetary policy stance.

MPF meetings are held in each province of the country every six months, with a panel comprising of senior SARB representatives presenting recent domestic and international developments that have impacted on infla-tion which will affect future monetary policies implemented by the SARB. Various individuals, members of government institutions, including the Head of Department of the Provincial Treas-ury, Gavin Pratt and members of the business community in Limpopo attended the meeting.

During his opening address, Kganyago said the lower international fuel prices have pro-vided an early Christmas present for consum-ers. He added that the lower fuel price has also led to a decrease in the price of gold and platinum, commodities that contribute a lot towards the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of South Africa. He also touched on the

reawakening of the American economy which contributes approximately 25% towards the global GDP and can contribute towards a fur-ther weakening of the Rand/Dollar exchange rate.

Kganyago commented on the unconven-tional monetary policies presently taking place in the European and Japanese finan-cial markets which could also impact on the South African money market in the future. He stressed that the cheap finance offered by in-ternational markets that led to the worldwide economic crisis towards the end of 2009, caused many South Africans to live beyond their means. “The party has now come to an end and easy and cheap credit is no longer available to South African consumers with the normalisation of monetary policy in the USA and the tougher criteria by banks in the country when it comes to issuing credit,” he warned consumers.

SARB Economist David Fowks commented that although the country’s economic growth is expected to only be 0,2 percent this year, other emerging markets are experiencing the same problem, with negative growth being experienced in Japan for the past three years. Fowks continued that lower international fuel prices leading to a drop in domestic food prices have impacted positively on the short-term inflation outlook.

In the Monetary Policy Review booklet issued to all attendees of the meeting, it was noted that strikes seriously damaged the country’s economic performance in 2014. The economy contracted by 1,6 percent during the first quarter of the year – the first contraction since 2009. This was followed by a weak recovery of 0,5 percent in the second quarter, rising to 1,4 percent in the third

quarter.Given the timing and the sectors affected

by the strikes, it is no surprise that losses have been concentrated in mining and manu-facturing, particularly in the first half of the year. The economy began to recover in the third quarter and some platinum producers returned to full capacity by October, earlier than expected, suggesting that the primary production sector will support fourth quarter growth.

Hard-hit consumers can therefore expect some relief from inflation due to the low in-ternational fuel price over the Festive Season, but are warned that lots of uncertainty still lies ahead in 2015 regarding inflation and future SARB monetary policy.

We have new tenants and new shops and with the grand re-opening we also wanted to give customers and op-portunity to acquaint themselves with what is available,” Buchling said.

He expressed his delight at seeing families shopping and dining together at the centre. “The Festive Season is a time for family and we want them to make Café Pavilion their preferred shopping destination. It was good see happy faces and we would love to see them again,” Buchling said.

Leanne Soupionas, Owner of Fudge Clothing Boutique said she was happy to own a shop at the centre. “We opened three months ago and the support has been phenomenal. We offer smart casual clothes for women of all shapes, sizes, personalities and ages. We invite them to visit us this Festive Season for exciting, fashion-able clothing and accessories.” Soupi-

onas who coordinated the event, has a passion for the fashion industry and is a vibrant, dynamic and motivated businessperson who is committed to good service.

The newly designed Dodge Journey recently took its first bow on the showroom floor at Mercurius Motors,

Polokwane and made a significant impres-sion with its offerings of style, technology and versatility for both driver and passen-gers.

The Journey’s shield and bright crosshair grille design with black mesh is the very definition of bold. Its sculpted fender flares and muscular lines emphasise a sporty and athletic appearance. The jewelled LED tail light design shows that great attention to detail radiates in every facet of the Journey.

The Journey’s interior is beyond flexible and always compatible with an ever-changing lifestyle. With the seven or five seating, featuring a 60/40 split-fold-flat stadium-style second-row seat and a 50/50 split-fold-flat third-row seat (only on the seven seater), everyone travels in comfort. Stepping inside the Journey is easy. The rear doors open 90º and the standard tilt and slide second-row seat creates an even easier entry to the third-row seats (only on the seven-seater). The standard keyless

Entry automatically unlocks the vehicle when the key fob is with the driver he pulls on the door handle. It also recognises when your vehicle’s key fob is in the vehicle compartment and lets you start the engine with one press of a button.

The Journey not only carries passengers in style, but also keeps the things they carry amazingly organised. An easy-to-access centre floor console features cup holders, 12-volt power outlets, remote USB

port, auxiliary power outlet and out-of-view storage. Two in-floor storage bins with lids each hold up to a dozen 340 ml cans plus ice or other travel items in a removable liner. With the seats folded the Journey offers an impressive 1 461 litres of cargo capacity.

When it comes to performance the Jour-ney also does not hesitate to surprise. From state-of-the-art aluminium block casting to full four-cam phasing to ultrafast data pro-cessing and torque based engine manage-ment, the 3,6-litre Pentastar V6 engine and the all-new 2,4-litre Double Overhead Cam (DOHC) 16 Valve VVT engine model, apply some of the most advanced automotive engine technology.

The result is an exceptional blend of high torque, fuel economy, low emissions and first-rate noise, vibration and harsh-ness control. Better than numbers like 206 kW of power and 342 Nm of torque on the 3,6-litre engine model and 125 kW and 220 Nm on the 2,4-litre engine model, are the engine’s durability enhancing features that require very low maintenance.

There is also no lack safety features. Systems like crush zones and safety-cage construction work together to absorb or direct impact energy away from the pas-senger compartment in the unfortunate event of an accident.

Other safety features include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), in adverse condi-tions, All-Speed Traction Control (ASTC), Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) and trailer sway control (TSC).

Vehicle safety consist of various elements from road worthiness to mechanical fitness of the

vehicle, but what can considered as the most important point on a vehicle safety checklist is the tyres.

The failure to attend to tyre safety is a vital factor in thousands of road accidents every year and research indicated that nearly 20% of accidents involving minibuses have tyre failure as a contributing factor in South Africa.

The Arrive Alive website shares valuable information regarding a vehicle’s tyres.

Basic rules about tyre safety• Tyres should always be replaced

with the same size designation as recommended by the vehicle or tyre manufacturer.

• Tyre brand, size and tread pattern must be the same on each axle.

• All four tyres should be of the same size, speed rating and construc-tion (radial or cross ply).

• Guard against used tyre im-ports, many of which are beyond retreading but are retreaded and sold illicitly.

• When two radial tyres are used with two cross ply, put the radi-als on the rear axle. In some cases (especially commercial vehicles) the manufacturer might recommend different-sized tyres for the front and rear axles.

• Never assume that the tyres on your vehicle are correct, even if you have newly purchased it. Unless you bought new tyres from an authorised

dealer your vehicle may already be fitted with potentially lethal tyres.

Over and under inflation• Over and under inflation reduces

tyre to road contact and shortens tyre life. The tyre responds in the same manner to under inflation as to over-loading and the same applies to over inflation and under loading.

Over inflation and under load-ing

Tyre’s cushioning power is reduced. Tyre is more susceptible to impact, cuts and abrasion. Road-tyre contact is reduced. Negatively affects the han-dling characteristics of the vehicle.

Under inflation and overload-ing

This is the biggest single cause of burst tyres. Under inflation cases excessive flexing of the tyre side-wall which leads to overheating and ultimately, casing break-up and tread separation. Reduced tyre-road contact leads to poor handling and faster wear. Driver checklist for tyres

• Check tyres regularly for punc-tures, penetrations, cuts and bulges.

Cuts in the tyre could permit damp to reach the casing plies. This is harm-ful for both textile and steel casings and will affect safety and tyre life.

• Wheel alignment - misaligned wheels will lead to excessive tyre wear.

• A worn steering mechanism, ball joints and wheel bearings will also reduce tyre life.

• Consult your vehicle manual for the proper size and speed rating. Some tyres are now marked with let-

ters to indicate their speed ratings. Tyre speed ratings do not imply that vehicles can be driven safely at the maximum speed for which the tyre is rated, particularly under adverse road and weather conditions, or if the vehicle has unusual character-istics.

• One-sided wear. This takes vari-ous forms. A regular smooth band of wear all around the tyre on the inside or the outside of the tread is a sign of incorrect camber. Too much toe-in causes irregular one-sided wear.

• Tread-centre wear. Regular wear of this kind is normally a sign of high tyre pressure. Driving fast for long distances may cause this on low-profile tyres, because travelling at 120 km/h wears a tyre out twice as fast as travelling at 70 km/h.

• Inner- and outer-edge wear. If both inner and outer edges are worn, it usually implies that the tyres have been run at too low a pressure at normal speeds.

• Irregular bald spotting. Known as cupping, this is usually caused by worn shock absorbers, worn suspen-sion bushes, or even loose wheel bearings.

• Missing valve caps should be re-placed, since they are there to prevent dirt from clogging the valves, which could cause a loss of air pressure.

• Check tread depth on all tyres and replace well before they reach regulatory minimum depth of 1mm to reduce the risk of aquaplaning on wet roads.

Check your tyres to ensure

safe Festive Season

South Africa in known for its warm and sunny Festive Season but also synonymous with heavy thunderstorms which can lead to dangerous road condi-tions.

We have all experienced the sudden unexpected downpour of rain and the Arrive Alive website provides tips which may be helpful for drivers who have to face a heavy rainstorm on the road.

• Increase the three-second rule to five or six seconds to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead of you.

• Slow down. Take your foot off the accelerator and let your speed drop gradually. Never use the brakes suddenly because this may cause the car to skid.

• If you find that an oncom-ing vehicle is overtaking from the opposite direction and will not be likely to do it safely, slow down and be prepared to move to the left shoulder if necessary.

• Only move towards the shoulder if you are able to see clearly 150 m ahead of you. Keep in mind that pedestrians

may be walking on the shoulder to avoid the mud next to the surface of the road.

• Beware of oil patches. Don’t panic. Do not jam on your brakes, just steer through.

• Always change to a lower gear before you take a bend, es-pecially a sharp bend. Your speed should be at its slowest as you enter the bend and both your hands should be on the steer-ing wheel. This slow in/fast out technique gives you most control when driving around a bend.

• Turn on your headlights.• Be careful of other vehicles

to the rear and in blind spot areas as they are especially difficult to see through rain-spattered windows.

• Use your low-beam headlights to see and be seen. Wait a short time after the rain begins before using your windshield wipers because the blades may smear.

• Be extra careful during the first half hour after rain begins. Grime and oil on the road surface mix with water to make the road slippery.

Drive safely when it rains

Die bekende spiesgooi-afrigter, Daniel Damon, het verlede week tydens

‘n spiesgooikliniek by Curro Heuwelkruin atlete die fynere tegniek van dié sportsoort geleer.

Damon se curriculum vitae bevat verskeie inligting van atlete wat diep spore in die land se atletiekgeskiedenis getrap het waaronder die land se junior spiesgooikampioen in 2011, Rocco van Rooyen wat onder sy leiding uitgeblink het. Sy afrigtingswerk het vrugte afgewerp by onder meer Tygerberg Northlink College (NLK) Athletics Club, Maties Atletiekklub, Hoërskool

Paarl Gimnasium, Panorama Laerskool en Bernardino Hoërskool.

Verlede week is die Kruinies deur hom geslyp ter voor-bereiding vir volgende jaar se atletiekseisoen. Hulle is onder andere touwys gemaak oor basiese posisionering en video-opnames is ook van elke atleet gemaak en dan terug-gespeel en bespreek.

Kruinies se sporthoof, Danie Roux, sê: “Die atlete is reeds uitblinkers en met Damon se hulp kan hulle net beter raak en kan ons moontlik volgende jaar ‘n paar rekords sien spat.”

Hy het sy dank teenoor Damon en Kruinies vir hul harde werk en opoffering uitgespreek.

Agente van Leapfrog Polokwane het Vrydag ‘n partytjie vir die jong kankerpasiënte by die

Pediatriese Onkologiesaal in Polo-kwane gehou. Die gemeenskap baat elke kwartaal by die onderneming en met Kersfees om die draai het die agente besluit om vir die jongspan iets spesiaal te doen. Vir ‘n oomblik was die kankerpasiënte se siekte vergete en

kon hulle ‘n vreugdevolle dag, net soos ander kinders geniet. “Desember is ‘n maand van gee en kinders hou van geskenke,” sê Floris de Kock, Leapfrog Polokwane se kantoorbestuurder.

Die kinders is met eetgoed en geskenkpakkies van Leapfrog bederf, wat die agente gekoop het. Leafrog beplan om meer projekte vir die gemeenskap aan te bied en beskou hulself nie net as sakemense nie, maar as mense wat na die gemeenskap omsien.

Vision of Hope hou kinders gelukkig>> ‘Kinders se gesigsuitdruk-kings te kosbaar’>> Visie is om mense van die gemeenskap te helpLEANDRI VAN SCHALKWYK>>[email protected]

Vision of Hope Foundation (VOHF) het verlede Woensdag drie kinderhuise in Polokwane met ‘n Kerspartytjie bederf. Huis Elpiza, Huis Tiqva en Huis Agape, waar die partytjie gehou is, het die dag saam met mekaar en hulle huismoeders geniet. Anne-marie Booysen, voorsitter van VOHF en Sanette Steyn, sekretarrese van VOHF, het beplan om ‘n partytjie vir die kinders te reël en hulle te bederf. Booysen en Steyn het donasies gekry om geskenke en lekkergoedpakkies vir die kinders te koop. ‘n Groep graad 3-leerders van Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos het hand bygesit en die lekkergoedpakkies help versier. ‘n Kersboom vol kleurvolle liggies met hope geskenke om die boom het gesorg vir opgewekte gesiggies. Kersliedere is gesing en daar is met Stille Nag afgesluit. “Kinders van die kinderhuise het die partytjie vreeslik geniet en hulle gesigsuitdrukking was te kosbaar toe hulle die geskenke sien,” sê Booysen.

VOHF is ‘n nie-regerings- en nie-wins-gewende organisa-sie. Hulle visie is om mense van die gemeen-skap te help, veral die wat in nood is, en om hoop aan die gemeenskap te bring deur middel van verskeie projekte. Hulle missie is om doelwitte deur middel van doeltreffende bestuur te bereik. Van die doelwitte is om die behoeftes van indi-vidue en groepe aan te spreek, ongeag ras, kleur of geslag, in samewerking met kerke, skole, welsynsorganisasie en die gemeenskap. VOHF help gemeenskappe van Polokwane, Musina, Louis Trichardt, Tzaneen en Moko-

pane. Lede van die gemeen-skap wat betrokke wil raak

kan klere , nie-bederfbare produkte, toiletware en geld skenk. Vir navrae skakel Booysen by 072 644 1047 of 078 458

Kersfees het vroeg vir babas by Ngwana Babahuis gekom toe Vi-sion of Hope Foundation hul verlede

Woensdag met geskenke verras het. Personeellede was verheug oor die geskenke wat meebring dat elke baba vanjaar vir ‘n geskenk onder die boom vir Kersfees het. Foto’s is ook van die babas vir die feesseisoen geneem wat om die draai is. Ngwana Babahuis dien as ‘n toevlugsoord vir kwesbare babas en huisves weg-

gooibabas tot en met 24 maande. Daar is tans 20 babas met 16 personeellede, ‘n huisma en ‘n maatskaplike werker. Die huis kry subsidie van die department van gesondheid en is afhanklik van skenkings.

Amanda Koekemoer, bestuurder van die huis, sê dat dit haar passie is om na die ba-bas om te sien en dat sy vir die Here werk. Koekemoer voel baie geseënd en dankbaar dat die babas nog nie een aand sonder kos gaan slaap het nie en dat hulle altyd doeke het.

Hulle missie is om elke baba uiteinde-lik in ‘n warm en liefdevolle gesin te plaas vir pleegsorg of aanneming. Wanneer ‘n baba aangeneem word, kry die nuwe ouers ook ‘n klein herdenkingsalbum met foto’s van hulle verblyf by Ngwana Babahuis. Vrywilligers is welkom om hulp te ver-leen. Vir enige navrae en donasies skakel Koekemoer by 082 442 5306.

The Cage Rage 8 mixed martial arts tournament sanctioned by the World International Martial Arts Association and

Organisation (Wimaao) and hosted at Eks-teen’s Mixed Matial Arts Dojo in Polokwane saw a new South African Wimaao champion being crowned in the gruelling Last Man Standing Challenge on Saturday.

Victor Moyo from Tzaneen beat Kasper Be-

zuidenhout from Wild West Warriors in Polok-wane to become the new champion and took home the R3 000 in prize money. Moyo is now the new South African Wimaao champ, taking over from Tyron Rodrigues from Gauteng, the four-time champion, who has since signed a contract with EFC Africa.

The President of Wimaao in South Africa, Grandmaster Henri Eksteen said afterwards that the bout between Moyo and Bezuidenhout was a battle of epic proportions and despite the poor attendance on Saturday, spectators witnessed

several exciting bouts. Eighteen fighters from Tzaneen and Polok-wane participated in the event and the fighting was fast and furious throughout the tournament. Wild West Warriors fighter Patrick Steyn was the overall winner of the triple threat bouts.

Cage Rage 9 is scheduled to be held in March 2015.

>> There is nothing impossible in lifeHERBERT RACHUENE>>[email protected]

A rising soccer star from Maku-rung Village in the Ga-Mphahlele area, Mmino Maribo who plays for Baroka Football Club development team, has set high standards for himself after he was named Man of the Match during the Provincial South African Breweries Football (SAB) Festival held at Seshego Stadium on Sunday.

Mmino stole the hearts of football enthusiasts and scouts at the stadium when he produced a sublime performance and scored an equaliser during their 1-1 draw against Maeba Football club.

Mmino, a Grade 11 learner at Makurung High School, says he wants to become an ambassador in his village and follow in the footsteps Mamelodi Sundowns

and Bafana Bafana defender, Ramahlwe Mphahlele who also hails from the area.

“This is my first award since I started playing soccer. I never thought that one day I will win such a big award in a tourna-ment of such magnitude. With this award I hope to inspire other youngsters from my area because lots of them are talented but despondent due to lack of recrea-tional activities in the area. This is just to show them that nothing is impossible in life we just have to make good use of any given opportunity,” Mmino said.

He further stated that he hopes to get promoted to the first team which plies its trade in the National First Division (NFD). “It is every soccer player’s dream to go further in his career and I am no different. I want to start in the NFD then go on to the Premier Soccer League and maybe I will catch the eye of the national team selectors,” Mmino said.

The visiting Gauteng cricket team came away with a victory against the Limpopo Impalas after being reduced to 112/7 at one stage in their Cricket South Africa (CSA) Rural League 50-over fixture at the Nirvana Oval on Saturday.

However, the visitors got their innings back on track during the latter stages of their innings to reach a fairly competitive total of 222/9 in their allotted 50 overs. Johan Louw and Erik Holtzhausen both ended up claim-ing two Gauteng wickets for the Impalas. The Impalas put up a disappointing batting display during their run chase to be bowled out for a paltry 87 runs to give the visitors a resounding 135-run victory.

The Impalas play their last league match before the break over the Festive Season against Free State at the Nirvana Oval on Saturday. Play will start at 09:45.

Impalas let it slip against Gauteng


With the local swimming pool still not opened for the sum-mer swimming season, Eagar Aquatics swimmers travelled all the way to Mbombela to get in much-needed live action in a 50 m pool at the Mpumalanga Swimming Championships last weekend.

Sixteen swimming clubs from Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Swaziland participated in the gala and the Eagar Aquatics swimmers garnered a total of 104 medals. The medal haul in-cluded 57 gold, 27 silver and 20 bronze medals for the club to end up in overall third position and set 25 new records.

Sulé van der Merwe won nine gold medals and broke records in the Girls 15-years-old

100 m backstroke and butterfly. She also set a new record in the 200 m butterfly. Ockert Ver-meulen set new records in the Boys 17 to 19 age category, in the 50, 100 and 200 m butterfly events, as well as in the 400 m freestyle. In the same age category, Christoff Ras set new records in the 200 and 400 m individual medley and 100 and 200 m breaststroke events. Ivan Beukes also set new records in the Boys 14-years-old 50 m but-terfly and backstroke and 400 m freestyle.

Eagar Aquatics’ Laura Len-nox won the award for Best Female Swimmer from outside Mpumalanga and Ras was the recipient of the Best Male Swim-mer from outside Mpumalanga award.

Limpopo’s off-road racing enthusiasts have come out in their numbers in support of former Polokwane resident, Brian Barag-

wanath and Team Rhide South Africa’s fund raising projects in their quest to conquer the Dakar Rally next year.

The name ‘Team Rhide SA’ has been de-rived from the word ‘rhino’ as the team com-petes to raise awareness for rhino poaching. Baragwanath will be joined by his team-mate, Hannes Saaijman and the two off-road quad competitors will be taking on the challenging Dakar Rally for the first time. Despite Barag-wanath gaining automatic entry to the Dakar after winning the Dakar Challenge in Bot-swana earlier this year, the expenses to send a racing team and support crew to the Dakar Rally are astronomical, hence the national raf-fle in support of Team Rhide SA.

Raffle tickets to win a new Yamaha Ténéré XT660Z adventure motorcycle to the value of R98 000 were selling fast in support of the team, with many individuals and companies throughout South Africa challenging each

other in a bid to buy the most tickets. Second prize was an easy-load Diamond trailer valued at R17 900 and the third prize was a three-night stay for four people at Simply Wild Lodges including a blesbuck hunt worth R5 000.

Last week former quad competitor, Danie Senekal and his family’s business, Limpopo Vervoer from Musina were topping the list of raffle tickets bought, followed by another Limpopo quad competitor, André Park and his brother, Bobby, who also hail from Musina. In the sixth place in support of their local rider were the owners of Wenbro Hire in Polok-wane, Des and Lynne Wentzel. When the draw for the raffle was made on Saturday after the Roof of Africa race in Lesotho, Senekal was the winner of the Yamaha Ténéré to show that buying in bulk can pay dividends in the long run.

Speaking to Polokwane Observer on Tuesday, Baragwanath said he is extremely grateful for the support shown by the people of Limpopo towards Team Rhide SA. “The funds raised during the raffle will assist with the huge expense of competing in the world’s toughest rally and we are confident of repre-senting Limpopo and South Africa with pride,” Baragwanath commented. He added that the quad bikes, spares and equipment have al-ready been shipped to Argentina for the start of the Dakar Rally at the La Casa Rosada in Buenes Aires on 3 January.

Baragwanath will be spending Christmas with his family in either Polokwane or Pretoria before jetting out to Argentina on 27 Decem-ber.

Polokwane City Football Club was on Monday crowed the win-ners of the Absa Premier Soccer

League (PSL) Q –Innovation for Quar-ter 2 (Q2) of the league after winning five games out of seven.

The club jumped from 10th position to 8th on the PSL when they beat Chip-pa United 3-1 at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday evening.

The club, under the tutelage of its coach, Kosta Papic amassed 16 points from six matches, winning five and drawing one.

PSL Chief Executive Officer, Brand

de Villiers is quoted to have said: “The Absa Premiership Q2 has proven to be an interesting battle and I think Polokwane City impressed many with their form and remarkable turnaround. They deservedly finished at the top of Q2. I would like to congratulate the club chairperson, the coach, the players and the fans for this impres-sive feat.”

Absa Premiership Q-Innovation is an initiative launched by the PSL in 2012 season to reward best perform-ing teams in each quarter of the league. The four quarters each has a number of fixtures namely eight each for Q1 and Q3 and seven each for Q2 and Q4.

Quarter winners earn prize money of R1,5 million each over and above the R10 million prize for the overall Absa Premiership League winner.

Polokwane City Football Club Gen-eral Manager Costa Bellos said they are happy to have won the Q2 innova-tion round and the R1,5 million prize. “This is more than an award to us, it is more emotional given the position we found ourselves at beginning of the season. We struggled a lot at the be-ginning of the season. We appointed a new coach and he has turned things around and he must be commended for that. We are in the top 8 now and our aim is to finish the league in that bracket,” Bellos said.

The newly crowned Miss Lim-popo, Mosiah Tau and Miss Lim-popo Teen Andile Neluvhalane

have a joint mission to develop the youth of the province into confident young people with a purpose.

Both still have to come to terms after the crowing ceremony on Satur-day evening at Sun Meropa. “It was very exciting but also nerve wrecking. To compete with nine other ambitious and beautiful young women was not an easy task,” Tau said, adding that her decision to enter the Miss Limpopo pageant was based on her passion for beauty and pageants and that she saw it as an opportunity to give back to the community by being an inspira-tion to other people. Tau also saw it as an opportunity for her to grow into a confident young woman.

“It will be a busy year ahead. Miss Limpopo 2014 Kholofelo Lekganyane was such an inspiration with all that she did in her year of reign that it leaves me no choice but to exceed all expectations. This Festive Season will be no holiday as I will start planning on all projects for next year,” she said. Her main aim during her year of reign is to encourage young people to have confidence. “Speaking from experience, the language barrier remains a big issue. Learners and young people do not want to partici-pate in many events because they

are scared they might not understand properly or even that they have to speak English. I’ve been there and I want to encourage them to partici-pate in debates in order to develop their confidence and language skills. I meet so many intelligent people out there but they are unable to express themselves. It is a problem I’ve even noticed at the University of Witwa-tersrand where I am studying to become a civil engineer,” she said.

Growing up as a confused child with divorced parents Tau taught herself to live to the motto, step out and just do it. “The biggest problem among young people is that they compare themselves to others. They should stop and just be themselves. Get educated and a world of oppor-tunities will unfold before you,” she advised the youth.

Andile is an equally ambitious young woman who hopes to complete her Grade 12 at Pepps Polokwane Preparatory School and College next year. “I asked my mother on Sunday if it was not a dream that I was crowned Miss Limpopo Teen. It is such an amazing feeling and honour to know that Limpopo has put its confidence in me to make a difference,” she said, adding that the pageant and her being crowned created a bigger platform to fulfil her dream and passion for work-ing with charities.

Miss Limpopo pageant was a first ever beauty contest Andile entered for. “I have always found inspiration

in my predecessors and the work they do. I always wanted to be part of something bigger to make a differ-ence,” she said.

Her biggest aim for the year is to create awareness among the youth about depression and that they should not be scared to ask for help. “Some of us wear masks just to fit in and my purpose is to bring a mind change to the youth that no one has to change who they are just to be accepted. I want them to know that everyone is special and want them to believe that they do indeed have a purpose in life. I further want to reach out to communities who really need help. People are struggling and overwhelmed by poverty in some areas,” she said.

Andile was raised by a single mother who has always been her in-spiration. She adopted Ngwana Baby House long before she even thought of entering for Miss Limpopo Teen. “I know how it feels to be raised with-out a father and I can only imagine how it feels to grow up without the proper love of any parent. During school charity projects I fell in love with the place and it will definitely be one of my beneficiaries,” she said.

Both beauty queens agreed that being Miss Limpopo or Miss Lim-popo Teen is not just about beauty or the crown but being granted the opportunity to touch other people’s lives, to lift them up and give them self-confidence again.
