As if being under constant fire for non-service delivery does not pose ample burden on Polokwane

Municipality, the institution now faces an added spell of doom and gloom after a predicted disclaimer was confirmed by an Auditor-General report follow-

ing an audit into affairs of the previous financial year.

Polokwane Observer earlier reported on the likelihood of an audit outcome implying the worst case sce-nario and indeed the result of the audit into the past year’s municipal affairs is another disclaimer.

The Hawks in Limpopo are looking into alleged corruption at parastatal Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) after receiving a report by the Auditor-General a few days ago.

In response to an enquiry Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) spokesperson Africa Boso confirmed that it was

brought to their attention that an incorrect audit report had been included in the annual re-port of RAL. “This report differed significantly from the report that was issued by the AGSA. Subse-quently, the AGSA informed the provincial government leader-ship of this incident. The AGSA appreciates the urgency and seriousness with which this mat-ter has been handled by the

Gerrit Venter vorder goed na wraakaanvalVan bl 1Gerrit, verkoopsbestuurder van Duroc Foods waar hy al 25 jaar werksaam is, is Vrydag-oggend ernstig met ‘n hoekyster deur een van Duroc Foods se personeellede aangerand. Volgens Andre van der Nest, ‘n verkoopsver-teenwoordiger van Duroc Foods, het die wreedaardige wraakaanval in die laaisone van die onderneming plaasgevind nadat hy (Gerrit) die werker aangespreek het omdat hy sy eie klere met die werk se wasmasjien gewas het. “Ons het dadelik met hom Limpopo Mediclini toe gejaag waar hy gestabiliseer is en sy bewussyn verloor het voordat hy per helikopter na Pretoria gehaas is.”

Volgens Christa was sy hoofbeserings so ernstig dat hy as gevolg van die swelling byna onherkenbaar was. Die omvang daarvan sal volgens dokters eers na skanderings en X-strale bepaal kan word. Sy meen haar kommu-nikasie met haar man was dalk moontlik weens die afskaling van die sedasie ter voorbereiding van toetse wat volg.

“Danksy die positiwiteit, geloof, gebede en bystand van familie en vriende kan die pad vorentoe net makliker wees. Ons het van die

begin af nooit hoop verloor nie en God vertrou. Sy skedel sal opgebou moet word, maar ons sal alles stap vir stap vat. Hy is nie meer aan die ventilator gekoppel nie, maar kry wel suur-stof en die swelling verminder daagliks.”

Nadia du Preez, hul oudste dogter en ‘n onderwyser by Mitchell House het vroeër die week gesê: “Dit gaan goed met paps. Hier kom ‘n wonderwerk. Ons bid vir volkome her-stel. Die dokters sal verbaas wees oor God se wonderbaarlike krag.”

Volgens haar stroom boodskappe daagliks op sosiale netwerke in wat ‘n bewys is van gebede en ondersteuning wat dinge vir hul gesin makliker maak.

Volgens die woordvoerder vir die Westen-burg Polisie, Mohlaka Mashiane, het die 34-jarige Sipho Lekgoathoane Maandag voor die Polokwane Streekshof op ‘n klag van po-ging tot moord verskyn en is borgtog geweier. Hy sal ‘n formele borgaansoek met sy volgende verskyning indien.

From page 1Strydom confirmed the disclaimer during a special council meeting on Tuesday afternoon, highlighting issues of concern in his presenta-tion. According to information the recording and accounting of municipal assets, a funda-mental activity in financial management of the local government institution, remained poor and problematic. It was further learnt that a transversal issue which Strydom raised as a matter of concern apparently related to the ownership of main routes remaining the mandate of Capricorn District Municipality which were reflected as assets in the books of Polokwane Municipality.

In the same vein another transversal mat-ter pointed out was that of additional costs arising from a prolonged court case over a wage curve agreement instituted by the South African Local Government Association (Salga) in the province. According to information the costs, affecting all municipalities across Lim-popo, were not listed as a contingent liability in the municipal books.

Strydom indicated that the noticeable im-provement in the affairs of the past year was not sufficient to save Polokwane Municipality from getting a disclaimer.

Also up for discussion during the special

council meeting was the draft annual budget summary for the financial year 2014/15 – 2016/17. Revenue figures reflected in the annual budget for the financial year 2014/15 and indicative for the two projected outer years 2015/16 and 2016/17 totalled R2 174 748 000, R2 310 070 000 and R2 485 307 000 respec-tively. The expenditure for the same periods was summarised as R2 113 096 000, R2 246 206 000 and R2 347 314 000 respectively. Capital expenditure was listed as R488 646 000, R496 435 000 and R508 761 000 respectively.

Previously Polokwane Observer at-tempted to obtain comment from Executive Mayor Freddy Greaver on a possible disclaimer and was informed that he would do so once the final report was out. Asked for fresh com-ment Polokwane Municipality Communications and Marketing Manager Tidimalo Chuene said the audit report was still going to be discussed by Council as part of the annual report and on that note plans on how to address matters by the Auditor-General in the report would be discussed then.

“However, we must point out that the AG has emphasised the remarkable improve-ment by the municipality and overall financial management compared to previous financial years.”

Polokwane Executive Mayor Freddy Greaver addressed business entities on Tuesday during a breakfast meeting to

discuss issues and assertions made by the business sector on the municipal general valu-ation roll which will be implemented with effect from 1 July.

With the business property portfolio escalat-ing by more than R6 billion from the previous valuation roll, Greaver assured business and property owners who fear skyrocketing rates that the municipality only budgeted to collect 6% more on property rates during this finan-

cial year. The certified valuation roll, completed on approximately 72 000 properties in the municipal area, was presented to Municipal Manager Connie Mametja on 27 February. In terms of section 34 (d) of the Municipal Prop-erty Rates Act (MPRA) and the MPRA regula-tions, Mametja must publish a notice in the Provincial Gazette and local media, advising all property owners that the valuation roll is open for inspection and objections as from from 7 April until 30 May.

Greaver stressed that issues brought under their attention of the municipality via various media include the business sector seeing the valuation process as flawed; that no room for public participation was allowed; that council

was supposed to adopt a policy before ap-pointing the valuator; that they have no trust in the valuator and that the municipality does nothing to address illegal land use.

Greaver addressed most issues saying that despite these assertions it is still good news to business and property owners that the municipality already budgeted to collect only R302 million in rates from property owners even if the property portfolio increases tenfold. Polokwane Municipality collected R273 million during the previous financial year.

The breakfast was concluded with a pres-entation by eValuations, the company which conducted the valuation on behalf of the Polokwane Municipality.

Power shedding hit Limpopo on Thursday without any warning from Eskom. Initially the explanation was that the coal used to generate electricity was too wet to drive the production process of generating electricity. Later reports also offered other explana-tions.

Whether and when power shedding will end, is however an open question and the higher demand for electricity during the winter months will obviously influence the situation.

The Customer Relations Manager for the Polokwane zone of Eskom, Dikgabane Rampedi offered the following input into this matter: “As South Africans we are not sup-posed to have power shedding on condition that we adhere to the calls that are made by

the Minister of Public Enterprises and Eskom’s Chief Executive Officer to be energy efficient, especially during peak hours when we are requested to switch off all non-essential ap-pliances between 17:00 and 19:00.

We should also support Operation Kha-nyisa of which our President, Jacob Zuma, has signed a pledge in 2010 in conjunction with Salga, Eskom, Primemedia, Business Initiative SA, Business Unity SA, Proudly SA and Crimeline by reporting all illegal activities to Operation Khanyisa at number 32211. If we do this and we are committed, there will be no need to build a Medupi power station in South Africa.”

Eskom publishes the schedules for planned shedding on their website to guide users to plan their activities. Unfortunately the actual shedding that took place on Thursday, did not correspond with the real shedding times that were published.

Power shedding hits Limpopo hawks looking into report on RALFrom page 1MEC for Roads and Transport in Limpopo, Mr Lehlogonolo Masoga.

“The AGSA views this matter in a seri-ous light and as a result, we have opened a case of fraud with the South African Police Service in Lebowakgomo on 25 February 2014.”

Approached for comment, Hawks spokesperson Paul Ramaloko confirmed they were looking into allegations of cor-rupt activities at RAL.

At the time of going to print he said they were studying a report by the Auditor-General in Limpopo, Dirk Strydom, which is expected to shed light on alleged corrup-tion at RAL. At the same time he said it was too early to talk about the contents of the investigation.

>> Police do nothing after baby is sprayed in face with superglue. >> Mother of four needs urgent rehabilitation. KESHIA J V RENSBURG>> [email protected]

A suspected drug addict might be fac-ing civil charges after she sprayed an 11-month-old baby in his face with

superglue during an alleged drug-induced freak-out session.

According to Lydia Olivier, the mother of the infant who was rushed to Limpopo Medi-Clinic on Sunday and placed under sedation to have the superglue removed from his face, says it took all her willpower not to physically assault the women she had allowed to stay in her home due to the fact that she did not have anywhere else to go.

“As a friend I felt I needed to help her get back on her feet but during one of her drug sessions she completely freaked out and sprayed my little boy in his face because I told her I did not want her using drugs in my house. As the Police did nothing when they came to my house I will now be seeking legal advice and plan on suing her for the cost of the medical bills incurred following the incident.”

She said the Polokwane Police were called to the scene but left hastily as they said it was a do-mestic dispute and they could not interfere as it was the complainant’s word against that of her friend who denied the super glue incident. Lesiba Ramoshaba from the Polokwane Police says the Police are disturbed about the inci-dent and regret the fact that the officials called to the scene did not offer the complainant the help she requested. “No case has been opened by the Police but the complainant is urged to lay a formal complaint at the station manage-

ment to ensure further steps are taken.” Olivier also said that according to information she had been furnished with it was not the first incidence of this nature and that the alleged wrong-doer apparently previously smeared and squirted her own children with superglue in response to what she deemed bad behaviour. Polokwane Observer exclusively and on condition of anonymity spoke to the woman’s husband who is currently embroiled in a custody battle to gain sole custody over their four children aged between three and eleven years of age, after various incidences of drug abuse came to light in the past few years. “I would like to start off by saying that she has a heart of gold underneath all the craziness, it’s only because of wrong friends and wrong influences. She needs help and she’s too proud to accept it from me,” he said.

He further stated that she has been using the drug Cat for a very long time and it has since started affecting her day to day life and her sanity. “It got to the point where I had to resign from work and start looking after my children, cooking and cleaning because she was too busy with her drugs to do it herself.” He further said that he on three occasions found drugs lying openly in their home which led to his taking action and chasing her from the home, as it is very dangerous for the children. “The last straw was when I found the drugs in the warming oven at home and had to explain to my daughter that it was actually rat poison and she should never touch it if she sees it as it is highly poisonous.”

The husband is currently waiting on court rulings regarding the custody of their chil-dren and more than anything hopes for her rehabilitation so that she can be the mother he knows she has the potential to be.” She needs to regain her self-respect and focus on being a mother,” he said.

Attempts to contact the alleged perpetrator were fruitless as she is currently in between residences.

Die teenwoordigheid van die EColi-bakterieë in die stad se drinkwater is waarskynlik die

oorsaak dat tientalle leerders van verskeie plaaslike skole en inwoners die afgelope twee weke begin siek word het.

Polokwane Observer is in besit van die watertoetsverslag wat deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Akkredi-tasiestelsel (Sanas) geakkrediteerde Capricorn Veterinary Laboratories ge-doen is en duidelike teenwoordigheid van EColi in die drinkwater toon. Die munisipaliteit is egter vasberade dat Polokwane se water skoon is en geen gesondheidsrisiko inhou nie.

Sommige leerders is sedent verlede week afwesig by verskeie skole nadat hulle van erge maagaandoenings en -krampe gekla het.

Die burgerregte organisasie, Afri-Forum, het in Februarie na aanleiding van hul jaarlikse Blou- en Groendrup-pelprojek die stad se water getoets om die kwaliteit te bepaal. “Die maksi-mumvlak van EColi in huishoudelike water is oorskry en toon dat drinkwater

nie doeltreffend behandel word nie,” sê AfriForum Limpopo-organiseerder Morné Mostert. Hy sê die water is ook by Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) ge-toets en die uitslae is onaanvaarbaar.

Skoolhoof, Willie Schoeman het bevestig dat die skool se water getoets is. “Ons het die afgelope paar weke verskeie klagtes van siek leerders by die koshuis gehad en moes noodge-dwonge ‘n watersuiweraar installeer,” sê hy. Die skool moedig lank reeds leerders aan om gebottelde water by die snoepie te koop. “Dit is steeds kommerwekkend en onaanvaarbaar dat die water by ’n skool in ’n soge-naamde stedelike gebied nie skoon genoeg is om te gebruik nie. Ons is besig met samesprekings met die munisipaliteit om die aangeleentheid aan te spreek,” sê Schoeman.

Skole soos Pietersburg Laerskool, die Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé en Laerskool Pietersburg-Noord Primary het bevestig dat leerders gereeld oor maagkrampe kla.

‘n Dokter van die stad, wat verkies om anoniem te bly, sê hy behandel op ’n daaglikse basis leerders en volwas-senes met maagaandoenings. “Ek kan nie sê dat dit as gevolg van die

kraanwater is nie, omdat ons nie stoel-gangmonsters vir ontleding wegstuur nie, maar daar is definitief iets wat inwoners se mae omkrap,” sê hy.

Mostert sê die water sal weer voor die einde van die week getoets word om te sien of daar daadwerklike po- gings deur die munisipaliteit aange-wend is om dit te verbeter. Indien nie sal AfriForum verdere stappe neem deur die hooggeregshof te nader. Munisipale kommunikasie- en be-markingsbestuurder, Tidimalo Chuene sê die munisipaliteit doen gereelde watertoetse en dat hul rekords geen mikrobiologiese deeltjies in die vorige jaar tot nou toe bevat nie. “Ons water is veilig. Daar is gereelde behandeling met chloor wat die EColi-bakterieë tot 0 eenhede per 100 ml water bring. Daar is ander faktore soos onopgeleide persone wat watertoetse doen – ons het geen bewys dat AfriForum se per-soon opgelei is nie.”

Chuene sê AfriForum is uitgenooi om ’n gesamentlike watertoets te doen, maar dat hulle steeds vir terugvoer van die organisasie wag. Mostert ontken egter die uitnodiging of korrespondensie van die munisipa-liteit.

Hein Viljoen (57) is vroeër die week in Limpopo Mediclinic oorlede en is gister vanuit die NG Kerk Moedergemeente begrawe.

Viljoen was ‘n bekende gesig in Polokwane nadat hy vir bykans 40 jaar in die diens van die destydse departe-ment van justisie was. Vanaf 1979 beklee hy verskeie posisies in die depar-

tement en het as senior staatsaanklaer van die Polokwane Streekshof gedien.

Volgens sy seun, Hein jnr het sy pa onlangs sy heup gebreek waarna sy gesondheid vinnig verswak het. “My pa was die grootste sportentoesias en diereliefhebber asook die mees lojale persoon teenoor sy vriende en familie.”

Viljoen laat sy vrou, Helga, sy dogter, Tanja en sy seun, Hein agter. Die familie bedank Mediclinic Limpopo en almal wat gehelp het tydens sy afsterwe.

Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) present-ed their annual report for 2012/13 last week providing details on the extent and quality of services rendered by the municipality to its communities.

CDM Spokesperson Moffat Senyatsi in a press release said service delivery in the district has improved to a point where eight out of ten households have access to piped water with the sanitation backlog decreased to less than 50% of the population while 88% of households are connected to the electricity grid.

“During the year CDM spent R276 million

on capital projects which compromised of R196 million on water services and infrastruc-ture and R30 million on electricity. This means that 9 808 new households were connected to piped water during the year while 830 were provided with toilets,” he said.

He added that this progress is an assurance to residents and ratepayers that capital budget is used efficiently to improve their quality of life.

During the presentation of the report Municipal Manager Ngoako Molokomme was quoted saying: “We are committing to a prom-ising future. Day by day the Capricorn District is becoming a model district that is excellent, sustainable and liveable.”

>> Police and provincial traffic officials are deployed at certain areas to reroute traffic>> “Motorists should stay calm and reduce speed” - MootaneRC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

Continuous heavy rains across Limpopo is causing carnage on the provinces roads as eleven people already lost their lives

in accidents on the weekend which occurred mostly because of bad visibility on the roads due to heavy rains.

According to Kasgiso Mootane, Spokesper-son for Roads and Transport the situation on Limpopo’s roads is dreadful with roads being flooded in several areas as well as road sur-faces being damaged to such an extent that it causes hazardous situations for motorists.

“As we speak I am in Bela-Bela monitoring the situation after this area has been demol-ished by heavy rains. Despite the devastating situation at the Klein Kariba holiday resort, the roads are in a terrible condition. The biggest problem at this moment is that water remains stationary at some places across the road,” she said on Tuesday.

Mootane said the Police in Bela-Bela as well as members of the provincial traffic depart-ment are deployed at certain areas to reroute traffic. “Motorists are urged to use the N1 from Bela-Bela as the R101 is still closed due to

stationary water across the road surface,” she said.

She also referred to the R33 between Vaal-water and Lephalale where officials are on the scene rerouting motorists. “Two dams in the area burst their walls causing major damage to the road. The road has been closed for now,” she said .

See the story on floods elsewhere. Referring to the 11 people who died on the

roads over the weekend she also confirmed that a head-on collision between a stationary truck and a taxi claimed the life of one person on the N1 just outside Modimolle on Monday morning.

In unrelated accidents three people died on the R81 over the weekend. A burst tyre sup-posedly caused the vehicle they were travelling in to overturn. Another person died on the R71 on Sunday evening after allegedly speeding and ignoring temporary road signs at Dalmada when he lost control, collided with poles and a mound of pebbles used for construction purposes. Two people in a bakkie were slightly injured after their vehicle collided with cattle on the R71 just after Moria on Tuesday morn-ing.

In Polokwane the corner of Biccard and Devenish Street was the scene of yet another collision Monday morning when the driver of a bakkie allegedly ignored the red traffic light and crashed into another. No injuries were reported but damage was done to the traffic light and some road signs.

Mootane urged motorists to stay calm on the roads and to reduce speed immediately if they are not sure about road conditions ahead or if driving in heavy rains.

Claims of more EFF defectors to join ANCYOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

The African National Congress (ANC) in Limpopo is awaiting more defectors from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), as pro-jected the past weekend when the ruling party welcomed home a group of youngsters who destroyed red regalia in front of Frans Mohlala House.

After a three-hour wait, the hyped-up sup-porters came round a corner and stormed the entrance of the ANC provincial headquarters where they were welcomed by ANC Chairper-son Baleka Mbete, Premier Stan Mathabatha and members of national and provincial leader-ship structures.

According to ANC Limpopo spokesperson Sipho Dikgale they were expecting more mem-bers from EFF to join the organisation. “It is just a matter of days and hours.” He quoted an estimated 1 800 former EFF members crossing over to the ANC for disgruntlement over EFF Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema’s bully-ing tactics and allowing mostly people from Seshego to occupy leadership positions and not those from rural areas.

After the group of rowdy returning mem-bers were given ANC T-shirts during a gather-ing inside the building they joined the national and provincial leadership, led by Premier Stan Mathabatha, on visits to a downtown taxi rank and homes in Seshego’s Zones 1 and 2. Dikgale said the house of Malema’s father in a settlement in Zone 2 was included in the itinerary. The following day Mathabatha was welcomed at a church in Lebowakgomo, he concluded.

Hoedspruit farm attack suspects sentencedFollowing their final appearance before the Hoedspruit Magistrate’s Court last week, the three men involved in a farm attack in August of 2011 were sentenced and will each be spending between 15 and 45 years in prison. Ruben Sebela (37), Peter Ramathoka (50) and Eden Mushwana (48) were all found guilty on the respective charges brought against them. According to Lucky Makutu from the Hoed-spruit Police the three suspects appeared in court last week facing two counts of robbery, one count for possession of a firearm without a licence, as well as ammunition and attempted theft of a motor vehicle. Sebela was sentenced to 15 years in prison for robbery and the theft of the vehicle, Mathoka was found guilty of the same crimes and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Mushwana was found guilty on all counts mentioned and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

EFF Lim member dies after collapsing at courtEconomic Freedom Fighter (EFF) member Mack Sekantane Dikgale was identified as the unknown person who collapsed and died outside the North Gauteng High Court during an EFF anti-ANC protest march on Thursday. George Raphela from EFF Limpopo confirmed the incident and says that Dikgale will be bur-

Daan Naudé (88) sal vir veel meer as die vier apteke wat hy, Japie Visser en Gideon Joubert in die stad gevestig en bestuur het onthou word.

Naudé het as gekwalifiseerde apteker in Pre-toria begin praktiseer en is Morgenzon toe nadat hy met Lutré Maré, ‘n laerskoolonderwyseres, getroud is. In 1962 is hy deur wyle senator Tom Naudé Pietersburg toe “ingevoer.” Sy oom het gereken dat dit nie net ‘n goeie beroepskuif sou wees nie, maar dat hy ook baie vir die opbou van die stad sou beteken.

Daan was aktief in die kultuur- en politieke lewe van Pietersburg en het as lid of voorsitter van verskeie rade, insluitende dié van Pieters-burg Laer- én Hoërskool, gedien. In 1986 is hy as Pietersburg se Afrikaanse Sakekamer se Sakeman van die Jaar aangewys.

“Daar was omtrent niks wat my pa nie kon doen nie,” sê sy oudste dogter, Annamaré Keun – ‘n apteker in Reyton. Sy onthou hoe hy in sy vrye tyd hout-, metaal- en veselwerk gedoen het. Hy het bote gebou, kara-vane aangepas en selfs ‘n duinebesie gebou. “As hy nie iets gemaak of herstel het nie, het hy iets gebreek sodat hy iets gehad het om reg te maak,” skerts sy.

Louise Korff wat in Polok-

wane werk sal altyd onthou hoeveel moeite hy vir mense rondom hom gedoen het. Die keer wat hy en ‘n neef die see in is om iemand wat besig was om te verdrink te help, sal sy nooit vergeet nie. Hy was ‘n sterk swemmer, goeie tennisspeler en lief vir die buitelewe. As fotograaf, wat sy eie donkerkamer gehad het, het hy ook beïndruk. Min mense weet dat hy Duitse Lieder gesing het. Sy jongste dogter, Anneliese Bothma, bestuur-der van die SAVF se Martha Hofmeyr Tehuis vir Bejaardes en Vergeet My Nie Behuisingsentrum sê sy deursettingsvermoë, betroubaarheid en deernis sal haar bybly. “Dit was swaar om so ‘n sterk, trotse en bekwame man aan die einde van sy lewe so broos en weerloos te sien. Hy was ‘n oopkop denker en die lang gesprekke oor diep dinge – veral sedert Ma se afsterwe drie jaar gelede – was baie kosbaar.”

Daan laat vier kleinseuns en ‘n kleindogter, Luzanne na wat sê hy was ‘n great oupa. ‘n Regte ted-diebeer en baie slim.

Die familie is besonder dankbaar teenoor drr Man-nie Krüger en Pierre Burger wat nog altyd net goed vir hulle ouers was.

‘n Lewensvieringsdiens word Vrydag om 10:00 by die NG Kerk Bendorpark gehou onder leiding van dr Gerhard Bothma, sy skoonseun.

CRIME shortsied in Seshego on 16 March, with the full bill of the proceedings being footed by the EFF. “We have lost a friend and a fellow comrade and will be taking full responsibility,” says Raphela. According to information the protest was in full swing and party supporters could be seen singing and chanting with placards and anti-Zuma slogans, when Dikgale collapsed.

SanParks employee in court for illegal huntingSA National Parks (SanParks) employee Michael Sematla appeared in the Makhado Magistrate’s Court on Friday after being ar-rested on charges of illegal hunting earlier in February. SanParks spokesperson Ike Phaahla says the case was postponed to June 3 for trial. Sematla and nine other hunters were fined a total amount of R37 000 by the court in February after being found hunting illegally on the farm Den Staat near Musina. This then led to Sematla being further implicated in a number of illegal commercial hunting activities leading to his arrest. The farm forms part of the Mapungubwe National Park and is a World Heritage Site. “The prosecution of the hunters and the SanParks employee follows months of investigation after a giraffe carcass with three bullet wounds was found in the park,” Phaahla said.

Man stabbed to death at tavernThe Vuwani Police are investigating a case of murder and assault after a man was stabbed to death and his girlfriend severely injured at a tavern in the area on Sunday night. Tsietsi Lamola from the Limpopo Police confirmed the incident and says three suspects were arrested on Tuesday and would be appearing before the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court soon. “A 32-year-old man was stabbed to death with a bottle and his spouse stabbed in her hand and knee. It is alleged that the suspects saw the couple exchanging money and attacked them to try and take the money from them.”

It was berries galore at the 2014 Magoe-baskloof Berry Festival held in mid-Febru-ary. In its third year, the festival has made

its mark as one of the most popular festivals in Limpopo. Visitors came from as far as Gau-teng, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State to pick berries, buy berries and eat their fill of berries and delicious berry products.

Vodacom, the main sponsor, played an important role in assisting with signage, flyers and water bottles and also providing the jump-ing castles and fun events for children.

Berry Festival Committee Chairperson Phillip Spencer was effusive, saying: “The festival was the best yet. We have some plans to make it even better and to improve the parking facilities and add new events etc.” He thanked Vodacom for their “great input and assistance”.

Vodacom Regional Marketing Manager Ishmael Hlomane said: “We are proud to be associated with such an event and to be part of the Magoebaskloof community. This festival seeks to instil the pride of this community through their rich and unique treasure.”

The festival kicked off with a Valentine’s Dinner and Dance in the Haenertsburg Village Hall. Catering was provided by Horst Dombrock of Bittersweet with music by Rupert and Gil-bert of the Straight Ahead Combo. “A delightful evening with great food and great music,” was the comment from one of the guests.

The early morning drizzle on Saturday did not keep festival goers away from the Harvest Market and the Village Green saw hundreds of visitors flock to the many stalls set up under the trees and under the marquee. Straw bales for seating added to the delightful country atmosphere of the event. “A fabulous turnout,” was the way Sally van Aardt, who was sell-ing delectable preserves on offer from Home Based, described it. “Super vibes and super berries,” commented one of the visitors. Many stall holders were rushed off their feet trying to replenish stock as the visitors streamed in.

Among the items available were fresh ber-ries, berry pancakes, home-made ice-cream, raspberry liqueur and a huge variety of jams, pickles and preserves, tapas, hamburgers, cakes and pies and berry cordials. There were also craft stalls and a jumping castle.

The restaurants were kept busy with filling orders and visitors enjoyed exploring the Hae-nertsburg shops.

Sunday was another busy day at the market and visitors enjoyed the sunshine and the re-laxed atmosphere under the trees. The Bjatladi Marimba band provided musical entertainment.

Berry picking on Saturday and Sunday at the Kuhestan Farm and Blueberry Heights Farm was incredibly popular. Jon Trusler of Blueberry Heights said: “The festival was really very good with hundreds of visitors who picked and ate loads of berries and enjoyed the homemade blueberry pies and cordials at the coffee shop. It was a great success.”

Shahrzad Hone of Kuhestan said: “We were kept very busy with berry picking and the farm tours. We had a lot of visitors last year but there were twice the number this year. It was amazing.”

Unfortunately the recent rains made the orchards at Cheerio Gardens inaccessible but visitors were able to enjoy the fabulous blue-berry treats served at Cheerio Tea Gardens. Wegraakbosch Organic Dairy had a wonderful turnout said owner Nipper Thompson who of-fered cheese tours, cheese tasting and cheese platters. “It was all a great success,” he added.

The trail run at Blueberry Heights Farm – held for the first time this year - was also very successful, with at least 120 runners of all ages taking part in races over the farmlands and along Stanford Lake and Ebenezer Dam. “We will definitely be doing the trail run again next year,” Trusler said.

Tebogo Maponya, Principal at Millennium Combined School in Madibapark, joined an elite group of educators last Thurs-

day when, during the 2013 National Teaching Awards he won the category for Secondary School Leadership.

Maponya, who is also an English tutor at the school, snatched the award, which acknowl-edges the school as the best managed in the country, from under the noses of eight other principals representing the other provinces.

On Monday, while the school was celebrating the honour bestowed on their principal, Mapon-ya proudly displayed the trophy and Certificate of Achievement he received during the awards along with a trophy and Certificate of Excellence from the Department of Education.

Maponya, who started his career as an educator at Ranti High School, Ga-Dikgale in 1994 said he never thought that he would win a major award for himself and the school. “I have never won any major awards before. This is my biggest achievement in my teaching career, an encouragement which will spur me on,” Maponya said.

He at the same time thanked the staff of the school, his family and the learners for their contribution towards his success. “No man is an island. I could never have achieved this without them. I want to thank them for their relentless support.”

“Most of the people don’t know this but when I came here in 2010 the school was confronted with lots of challenges. We had learners who were battling with substance

abuse. The situation was out of hand because most of them absconded their class-room activities and that resulted in bad results at the end of the year. We sat down with their parents and tried to find a way to remedy the situation. “Since then the situation has improved substantially,” Maponya declared.

In 2013 the school attained a 83% matric pass rate and Maponya said this year’s target is 90%. “We believe we can do it. The 90% it is probable. We have got a group of dedicated teachers and learners who are willing to learn. We need the support of everyone, including the parents, because parents are the pillars of these children and with their support these learners can achieve more,” he said.

The National Teaching Awards is one of the ways in which the Department of Basic Educa-tion acknowledges and encourages dedicated and caring teachers in their efforts to develop each learner as a citizen of a democratic, non-racial and non-sexist South Africa. They also aim to recognise outstanding teaching for teachers who go beyond the call of duty.

Spokesperson for the Department of Education, Pitsi Maloba said they are proud of Maponya and his achievement is a clear indi-cation that the province is capable of develop-ing capable educators who can also lead from the front.

The Capricorn College for FET launched its Work-based Partnership Program at a work-shop held at Bolivia Lodge on Tuesday.

This initiative followed after it became ap-parent that students from the institution expe-rience some challenges in finding employment after completing their studies. The main rea-son for this situation seems to be the fact that although they have formal training, students lack the practical experience that is required at most positions that are available.

The intention of the workshop was to discuss ways to fill the gap between formal training and the workplace and to sensitise potential employers about the situation of students and to invite potential employers to allow students to be exposed to working environments whilst studying and even after completing their studies. This

exposure may be in the form of internships or short visits to workplaces.

The workshop was attended by representa-tives of government departments, municipali-ties and private employers and members of the Student Representative Council of the college and the programme included presentations by various role players which included the National Youth Development Agency (Nyda) and the Department of Higher Education.

The keynote address was delivered by the Deputy Director: Curriculum Development of the Department of Higher Education, James Mogale.

Justice Lebopa, Public Relations Officer of the college said the college wants to see its students as active role players in the economic development of the country. He added that the initiative should be beneficial to students be-cause what they are going to learn in this way will enhance their ability to find employment and even start their own businesses. That is why Nyda was also invited to make a presenta-tion and advise employers about the assistance that the agency can provide.

The college has in excess of 11 000 students enrolled at its Polokwane, Seshego, Ramokgopha and Senwabarwana campuses at any given time of the academic year. The central office is situated in Market Street in Polokwane.

The college offers courses in Engineering Studies, Business Studies, General and Utility Studies as well as skills programmes, although all courses and programmes are not necessar-ily offered at all campuses.

An emotional memorial service for the four Police officers and truck driver, who died in the horror accident on the N1

two weeks ago was held at Bolivia Lodge last Thursday and attended by several high profile personnel.

Relatives, friends and colleagues of the late Masethe Reuben Moloto, Monwabisi Lawrence Setlako, Mateane John Mahlokoane and Lesoka Joseph Mafane gathered to celebrate the lives of the deceased as Police members who served and protected their communities until their last breath. Family members of the deceased truck driver, Ian Nel were also present.

The service was attended by Safety, Security and Liaison MEC Joyce Mashamba, National Police Commissioner Riyah Phiyega, Provincial Police Commissioner Fanie Masemola and Deputy Minister of Police, Maggie Sotyu.

Masemola welcomed mourners by saying: “I would have loved to meet here on a differ-

ent occasion but it is unfortunate. The incident was a calling and it was expected of them to be there. It is the will of God and we should accept it and continue with our lives.”

He also said that despite this happening, the members in blue will not pull back in their duty as Police officers.

Emotions ran high and an uncomfortable atmosphere was created when a representa-tive of the Moloto family and uncle of the deceased, addressed the gathering. He ac-cused the Police of negligence by sending the wrong officers to the scene. “My nephew was supposed to regulate traffic and not to rescue people. There is nothing to celebrate here but we will remember his fighting spirit,” he said.

Mashamba said in her address: “As painful as it is, we do not want to see a repeat in the future. I have never seen such tragedy in my life. I hope that people will now support the Police in their duties.” Phiyega said that the untimely deaths of the heroes in blue left voids in their hearts. “The spaces they occupied at their workstations remain vacant and no one can ever fill them in the same manner that the four members used to. To the families, friends and close colleagues, we are here to say that your loss is our loss. They made the ultimate sacrifice by paying with their lives while respond-ing to the distress and life threatening situation of others,” she said.

She said that the South African Police Service (SAPS) Education Trust will assist families to ensure that the deceased’s children do not miss a day of school. “We will also ensure that families and the survivors of the tragedy receive the necessary psychological support so that they are mentally strong,” she said.

The four members were buried in Seshego on Saturday, with Sotyu attending the funeral service of Mahlokoane.


Limpopo Police continue to search for at least two women who were possibly swept away by storm water after heavy rains in Bela-Bela and Thohoyandou as torrential rains continue to fall over parts of Limpopo.

Provincial Police Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi has confirmed that while search parties were still looking for the women, a boy thought to have been swept away by flood water in the Tzaneen area has been found alive and well.

While at least one person has been con-firmed dead reports of flooding and immense damage to infrastructure continue. Residential property, holiday resorts, roads and farms were turned to ruin. ATKV Klein Kariba holiday resort outside Bela-Bela was the hardest hit by the heavy rains when holidaymakers were trapped, property, vehicles and caravans dam-aged and even washed away when the wall of a nearby dam gave way. Eric Sparrow died when he was swept away at the resort while his wife Elizabeth has still not been found.

Department of Roads and Transport Spokesperson on traffic Kagiso Mootane said the R101 just outside Bela-Bela is still closed for traffic and motorists are urged to use the N1. “The biggest problem is that water remains stationary. Roads affected are between Vaalwater and Lephalale, the road at Melkrivier leading to Waterberg Lodge, the JG Strydom tunnel and the D1547 at Nebo where road surfaces were damaged to such an ex-tent that it had to be closed by traffic officials and Police officers,” she said.

Reporting from Bela-Bela on Tuesday she said the situation is very bad with the devasta-tion at Klein Kariba proof of the extent of the damaging effect of the rain.

A survivor of the devastating situation at Klein Kariba, Shaun Schoeman told Polo-kwane Observer about the life threatening weekend he and his wife experienced. “A neighbouring dam burst its wall causing the floods through the resort. It was an unforget-table moment. All of a sudden people started shouting and scrambling for safety. We were at the bottom of a waterfall when masses of water came running through the resort. We ran to higher grounds and could do nothing else but wait for the water to subside,” he

said. His vehicle was found about 70 m from where it was parked, smashed and totally written off.

Local residents this week raised concern about the danger posed by Sterkloopspruit where it flows through Westenburg and learners have to cross a causeway on a daily basis. A resident said two learners drowned at the spot in the past and a repeat should be avoided at all times.

Seven people were almost washed away in a bakkie in Zebediela on Monday morn-ing, ER24 spokesoperson Luyanda Majija is reported to have said. The group was trapped on the road where the water was about 50 cm deep. They managed to get to semi-dry land unharmed while their vehicle was removed by the fire department.

Kruger National Park (KNP) Spokesperson William Mabasa on Tuesday said that several bush camps are still closed. “Media reports on the KNP suffering severe damages due to floods as reason for camps being closed, are incorrect. We closed access to the camps be-cause of road conditions which made it almost inaccessible for visitors,” he said confirming that KNP did indeed experience heavy rains with several camps flooded and rivers coming down.

He added that in January 2013, 2012 and 2000 KNP experienced similar situations with heavy rains. On the safety of animals he said that animals must endure the situation. “It is nature. The animals’ biggest threat is poach-ers, not bad weather,” he said.

He advised visitors that the main camps are not affected and that the park is still accessible. For more information people can contact the central reservation service on 012 428 9111 or the emergency number on 013 735 4029.

Polokwane Observer’s efforts to contact the Department of Corporate Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) Spokesperson, Motupa Selomo were fruitless. Neither could any official at the local South African National Defence Force (SANDF) provide the publication with a contact person responsible for media liaison.

In the meantime the South African Weather Service issued warnings on possible flooding conditions for Limpopo, Gauteng and Mpumalanga until today (Thursday).

Danksy Polokwane-inwoners se voortdurende hulp gaan dit goed met die shelter alhoewel hulp met hul Eskom- en waterrekening nog benodig word volgens Christa van Tonder, sekretaresse van Myn-genoegen Shelter.

“Daar is geen sprake dat die shelter gesluit is nie. Luque Markgraaff is wel nie meer deel van Myngenoegen Shelter nie,” sê Van Tonder.

“Die goeie nuus is dat ons ‘n stalletjie by die Polokwane Skou- en Musiekfees, van 28 tot 31 Mei, gekry het om watertantdisse te verkoop.”

“Dit kan die shelter ‘n groot finansiële hupstoot gee, maar baie hulp is nodig vir die voorbereiding van die kos en om die stalletjie

te beman. Indien jy kan help, kontak my asseblief so gou as moontlik,” sê Van Tonder.

Enige persoon wat kan hand bysit met pannekoekbak, maak van jaffels, hamburgers, pap en vleis en kerrie en rys moet as-seblief van hulle laat hoor.

“Die hartverskeurende prentjie van ‘n baba se doodskissie met sy as aan die voet van sy oupa se graf sal ons altyd bybly. My pa en sy kleinkind en naamgenoot het hand aan hand die hemelpoorte ingestap,” sê plaaslike inwoner, Des Jones.

Die oorskot van Faan Grobler (81), oftewel Frans Jurie Hugo Grobler, en die van sy kleinkind, Enrique Frans Grobler is albei Donderdag begrawe na Grobler snr se onlangse afsterwe na ‘n kort siekbed. Grobler jnr is op 12 April 2011 gebore en op 5 Mei, vier weke later oorlede, waarna hy veras en Donder-dag saam met sy oupa begrawe is.

Grobler en sy vrou Bettie, met wie hy vir bykans 60 jaar getroud was, was 48 jaar inwoners van Polokwane waarna hulle in September 2013 na Astonbaai in die Oos-Kaap verhuis het. Hy het op 55-jarige

ouderdom uit die Suid Afrikaanse Spoorweë (SAS) getree en Faan Grobler Grasdakke begin. Die pa van vier, oupa van nege klein-kinders en 13 agterkleinkinders, was ook baie betrokke by die Pinkster Protestante Kerk waar hy as adjunk-voorsitter en ampsdraer gedien het. Jones vertel trots dat hy gedurende sy lewe die Bybel drie maal van voor tot agter deur-gelees het, vandaar sy kennis en wysheid. “Hy was ‘n baie nederige mens, ‘n man van min woorde met integriteit wat altyd ‘n helpende hand aan almal verleen het.”

Hy laat sy vrou Bettie, drie dogters, Alta, Christine en Des,

sy seun Neels en sy skoondogter Natalie agter. Die begrafnis het op 7 Maart in Jef-freysbaai plaasgevind.

‘n Gedenkdiens word Vrydag om 11:00 vanuit die Pinkster Protestante Kerk in DieMeerstraat in die stad gehou.

Yah… now you can send your boss to jail KESHIA J V RENSBURG>> [email protected]

Sending your school principal, boss or a col-league to jail is now a possibility with the Can-cer Association of South Africa’s (Cansa) Jail n Bail fundraising initiative taking place on Friday in the parking lot at Platinum Park.

Cansa Community Mobiliser Ria du Ples-sis says possible participants and those who have already entered to partake in this annual charitable tradition know the fun that can be had at the Jail n Bail, one of Cansa’s preventa-tive programmes in which communities can participate to generate funds for the associa-tion. Du Plessis says the Jail n Bail also affords participants the opportunity to, while behind bars, network for future business and commu-nity projects.

A mock jail will be set up in the parking lot of Platinum Park while the courtroom will be held on Rhapsody’s deck. “Through the nominations of friends and colleagues, the bosses and other people who will be in need of some mock council will be summonsed for arrest on Friday. The Police will be alerted of the offenders and if no bail is paid they will be arrested and thrown in jail. The jailbirds will then appear and be given their chance to plead their cases before the judges and the public prosecutors. Those who cannot pay their own bail are expected to raise the funds from friends, relatives and foes gathered at the proceedings.

To become part of this fun event contact Du Plessis on 083 259 2790.

Lede van die nooddienste was Maandag binne minute op die toneel van ‘n ongeluk wat om 14:50 in Potgieterlaan plaasgevind het. Niemand is in die ongeluk beseer nie en die bestuurder en enigste in-sittende, het Polokwane Observ-er op die toneel meegedeel dat sy van suid na noord in Potgieterlaan beweeg het en skielik besef het dat sy regoor die vier verkeersbane beweeg het en nie kans gehad het om uit te swaai vir die paal op die oorkantste sypaadjie nie. Gelukkig was geen ander voertuig in die nabyheid nie. Sy skryf die feit dat sy geen beserings opgedoen het nie, daaraan toe dat sy altyd stadig ry en haar veiligheidsgordel gedra het.

Werk aan die nuwe gebou vir die hooggeregs-hof vorder fluks en die konstruksiespanne werk selfs naweke om die agterstand wat plaas-gevind het toe daar van kontrakteurs verwissel is, te probeer inhaal.

Bodensteinstraat tussen Biccard- en Voor-trekkerstrate was die afgelope naweek vir verkeer gesluit sodat ‘n reuse hyskraan ‘n staalstruktuur langs die gebou kon ophys.

Dit is nog nie duidelik wanneer die nuwe gebou voltooi sal wees nie, maar dit sal ‘n welkome verbetering wees vir personeel van die hoërhof wat tans in verskeie kantore in die stad gehuisves word.

Adega Restaurant in Bendor (dieselfde perseel wat eens deur The Deck beset was) is besig om ‘n deeglike vastrapplek

as familierestaurant van voorkeur in Polo-kwane te kry danksy die unieke kombinasie van eg-Portugese disse met tradisionele Suid-Afrikaanse geregte teen uiters bilikke pryse.

Die spyskaart is in ‘n boekvorm van 64 bladsye gebind wat netjies verdeel is in voorgeregte, soesji, slaaie, pasta, vis- en skulpvisgeregte, kombo’s, hoender- en vleisgeregte en nageregte. Daarna volg ‘n indrukwekkende lys drinkgoed wat uit meer as honderd verskillende wynsoorte bestaan en enige fynproewer se hoogste verwagtinge sal oortref.

Dit is veral die restaurant se Sondagmid-dag-buffet wat volpunte verdien. Die uit-gestrekte opskeptafel kreun onder ‘n verskei-denheid aanloklike verrassings – van keurige garnale tot hoendermagies, van delikate soesji-happies tot smaaklike, goudgeel boerpampoen uit ouma se kombuis. Tussenin goudbruin

The Sunday buffet consists of:

• Giblets• Mussels• Trinchado• Prawn Rissoles

(battered in a vetkoek style dough)

• Chicken Rissoles• Sushi assorted• Prawns• Chicken• Calamari• Squid heads

• Lamb/Beef/Chicken curry

• Steamed rice/Spicy rice

During the last week in February, 41 Grade 9 learners and six staff members from Stanford Lake College embarked on a gruelling expe-dition, tracing the historical steps taken by Voortrekker Louis Trichardt.

The trek consisted of three days of hiking whichstartedatSekororoandfinishedinPenge. This unsupported hiking route traces the steps of Trichardt and his fellow trek-kers who, in 1838, completed the trek with ox-wagons in eight months time. The Grade 9s were taken to some of the most beautiful and remote locations South Africa has to offer, including the well known Christmas Plateau, where Trichardt spent Christmas in 1838, and Louisfontein, overlooking the Olifants Valley.

Upon reaching Penge the group readied themselves for an eventful white-water rafting experience on the Olifants River where they faced testing rapids like Rent-o-Kill, Double Trouble, Longdrop, Simple Simon and the Rollercoaster where they experienced the full forceofnature.RonaMcGaffin,communicator

for Stanford Lake College says it was a truly amazing adventure which these learners will most likely never forget. “Well done to all the Grade9sforfinishingthiswonderfulbutchal-lenging excursion.”

Die restaurant ontgin nou ‘n nuwe nuts-mark wat in ‘n wenresep mag ontwikkel: Die “express”-diens is ingestel vir wegneemetes waar dieselfde geregte op die spyskaaart teen byna halfprys verkoop word – tussen R40 en R70. Bestellings kan telefonies geplaas en binne ‘n japtrap by die restaurant afgehaal word.

Die Adega-konsep het reeds 24 jaar gelede in Johannesburg sy ontstaan as ‘n eenmanini-siatief gehad waar familie en vriende Dinsdae vir middagete by die huis van ‘n ene Luis Ferreira op eg-Portugese kos getrakteer is. In 1998 word volwaardige restaurantstatus bereik en verskillende restaurante stelselmatig in die res van Suid-Afrika gevestig.

Adega se deure is slegs drie maande in Polokwane oop, maar besoekers praat reeds van ‘n nuwe ervaring en vars bries in die stad se restaurantbedryf. Talle kliënte met wie Sondag gesels is, het bevestig dat hulle keer op keer terugkeer vir ‘n maaltyd en gesellige kuier by die restaurant wat vinnig besig is om sy stempel behoorlik as ‘n familiekuierplek by uitstek af te druk.

She says her team members are all Add Hope Stars and encourages them to shine their star brightly as it will be a sign of hope, light and love for the hopeless.

Add Hope is KFC’s corporate social respon-sibility project and every time a customer chooses to Add Hope to their order, R2 goes to the KFC Social Responsibility Trust. All it takes is R2 to make the difference.

Congratulations Mosima for driving Add Hope in stores and KFC Polokwane invite eve-ryone to continue to donate their R2 so we can come together to create a South Africa where all children have the nutrition they need to live, to grow, to learn and to thrive.

The Suzuki Swift made a definite contribu-tion to the small passenger car segment but the newly launched Suzuki DZire, the

sedan range of the Swift, is sure to make an

unforgettable fashionable entrance. The new, cheeky four-door sedan shares

the proven platform of the Swift hatch, while adding the practicality and security of a boot and more space for rear occupants. From the moment you set eyes on the DZire, it is sure to feast your eyes with a dynamically curved bon-

Suzuki now a vehicle to DZire with GL and GA models available

net and slim, detailed grille, flanked on either side by large, clear-lens headlights.

It shares the hatchback’s fresh, appeal-ing front-end styling, recently updated for the 2014 model year. The DZire features a pronounced, chiselled waistline that creates an athletic, agile impression. But compared to the Swift, the biggest difference occurs at the C-pillar, which flares outwards at the base and extends into the compact, cleanly integrated deck of the boot.

When you get behind the steering wheel you feel instantly at home. The clean, modern fascia features a hooded instrument binnacle providing a home to the clearly presented analogue dials.

The centre stack is home to the air-condi-tioning and ventilation controls, as well as the audio system which is standard on GL models, and optional on GA versions. A lidded glove compartment is located ahead of the front passenger. Families embarking on extended journeys can make use of the convenient bev-erage holders mounted in the door side panels as well as in the centre console.

Visually, the most obvious visual departure from the Swift’s interior is the two-tone treat-ment.

The upper surfaces on the dashboard are

finished in black, while the lower part, as well as the upholstery and carpets are finished in a contrasting light tan hue to create a premium look with the impression of more space.

DZire buyers also get to choose between GA and GL specification levels, but even the GA version offers an attractive array of stand-ard specifications, features and finishes. The new DZire is powered by a latest-generation 1,2-litre engine combining willing performance with excellent fuel economy.

The four-cylinder, 16-valve unit is offered in conjunction with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic gearbox.The new engine is credited with a maximum output of 63 kW at 6 000 r/min combined with a torque peak of 113 Nm at 4 500 r/min. The new DZire is all about efficiency and offers a 0 -100 km/h acceleration time of 12,6 seconds, and achieves a top speed of 160 km/h. Combined cycle fuel consumption is a frugal 5,7 litres/100 km, with an associated CO2 emissions figure of 134 g/km.

The first DZire has already been sold from the local dealer and Suzuki Polokwane is eager to put each and every driver behind the steer-ing wheel of the new Suzuki Swift and DZire. Visit them at 90 Landdros Maré Street or con-tact them on 015 297 0140 or 082 728 8358.

Opel South Africa has added to the cur-rent range of Astra hatchback models with a sleek and sophisticated line up of

four sedan models that will complete the Astra portfolio of vehicles and strengthen its brand in the local market.

The arrival of the Opel Astra Sedan in South Africa is significant for General Motors (GM) SA as it completes the Astra range and supports their efforts to rejuvenate and strengthen the Opel brand in this market,” says Opel brand manager at GM South Africa, Chris Cradock.

The eye-catching lines of the 2014 Astra truly lives up to Opel’s slogan “Wir leben Autos” with its racy lines, alloy wheels and integrated boot spoiler giving the vehicle a sophisticated look. Viewed from the front, the new Astra sedan looks similar to the refreshed Opel Astra hatchback. From the B-pillars on-ward matters tend to differ a little. The sedan has the traditional three box design in profile and viewed from behind it has prominent tail lights that blend in nicely with the large boot and chrome-plated exhaust outlet.

The Astra sedan is 230 mm longer than its hatchback stable mate. Buyers have the choice of four models comprising of three different petrol engines. The 1.6 Essentia has a four-cylinder petrol engine producing 85 kW at 6 000 r/min with torque measured at 155 Nm at 4 000 r/min. Coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox, the front wheel drive sedan has an average fuel economy on the combined cycle of 6,6 litres/100 km and carbon emissions are 154 g/km.

MGM Motors reach out to Grace and HopeHERBERt RacHuEnE>>[email protected]

MGM Motors Polokwane on Monday donated a Toyota Yaris to the value of R140 000 to Seshego based Grace and Hope School for learners with special needs.

The Yaris came as a bonus to the school af-ter they purchased two 16-seater Citroën Relay Taxis at the value of R600 000 from the dealer.

Headmaster of the school, Mabore Ngoatje thanked MGM Motors Polokwane for their ini-tiative and assistance. “We approached other dealers in Polokwane and out of all those deal-ers they were the one that came through for us. For the past three years we did not have transport to move learners to their respective homes. Our bus was no longer in a working condition and we were left with a van. We did not have enough money at the school to buy a vehicle. With the help of the parents we were able to raise funds to buy the taxis. We are saying thank you to MGM Motors for acting swiftly during the negotiations,” Ngoatje said.

Ngoatje further stated that the vehicles will take the pressure from the teachers who used their own transport to transport learners to clinics and their homes. “We have 225 learners that need to be transported to their homes every day. We believe the purchase will relieve the burden of some of our teachers who were using their private cars to transport children to their respective homes and clinics,” Ngoatje said.

Sales Executives at MGM Motors Polokwane, Naume Maleka said they are happy to add value for the school and the learners. “We are happy and proud to reach out to the school and we hope that the vehicles will help ease their daily tasks,” Maleka said.

Powering two of the new models is a 1.4-li-tre turbocharged engine mated to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox giving plenty of oomph to the Astra sedan range. The engine produces a healthy 103 kW between 4 900 and 6 000 r/min and 200 Nm of torque between 1 850 and 4 900 r/min. Fuel con-sumption is measured at 5,9 litres/100 km in both urban and extra-urban conditions.

Topping the new range is the 1.6 turbo-charged Cosmo sedan that produces 132 kW at 5 500 r/min and 230 Nm of torque at 2 200r/min. The 1.6 Cosmo is also differentiated by a lowered ride height and 18-inch alloy wheels compared to the 17-inch alloy wheels found on the Essentia models.

Safety is not an issue with the new Astra sedan. All models come with front and rear disc brakes, with ABS and Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Cornering Brake Control (CBC) and Corner-ing Torque Control (CTC), trailer sway control and brake disc cleaning. Six airbags, including driver & passenger, front side, curtain and airbag de-activator complete the impressive safety features.

All models feature air conditioning and cruise control. The wide range of Infotainment

can be activated from the multi-function steer-ing wheel and includes a radio/CD player with seven speakers, USB, MP3, auxiliary input and Bluetooth functionality and a multi-trip informa-tion display computer. The Astra sedan also boasts a generous 460 dm³ of luggage space with the seats up. This increases to 1 010 dm³ of cargo volume available when the seats are

down. All models in the new Opel Astra sedan range come standard with a 5-year/120 000 km warranty and a 5-year/90 000 km service plan.

Service intervals are 15 000 km. Visit West-vaal Polokwane at 86 Landdros Maré Street to view the entire stunning new Opel Astra range of models. Or call them on 015 297 1149 to book a test drive.

Children of the Dawn from Ga-Mathabatha, Madikelong, Malomane, Mamopa and Ramun-wani villages in the Lepelle Nkumpi Municipal area visited Polokowane Observer offices last week to learn about the newspaper pro-duction and the complete process on how the paper is published.

Facilitating the process was Yolande Nel, Editor, Santa Oosthuizen, Manager and Marinda Bekker, Head of Layout and Design.

Children of the Dawn (COTD) was founded early in 2002 to respond to the challenge of the growing number of orphaned and vulner-able children in rural South Africa. In 2009, South Africa counted some 4 300 000 orphans. COTD has as its mission giving such children the care and childhood they deserve in a com-munity setting.

FOTO: ELNA ESTER-HUYSENSandra Nel was ‘n kwarteeu in diens van die Onder-steu-nings-raad in die stad.

Toegewyde maatskaplike werker roep haltELNA ESTERHUYSEN>>[email protected]

Sandra Nel se suksesvolle loopbaan as maat-skaplike werker in die stad is onlangs op ‘n hoogtepunt afgesluit toe sy ‘n oorkonde vir haar uitsonderlike bydrae om die welsyn van die gemeenskap voorop te stel, ontvang het.

Na ‘n kwarteeu in diens van die Onder-steuningsraad van die Hervormde Kerk roep sy halt om meer tyd aan opheffingswerk in die gemeenskap te bestee. Ten spyte van wan-persepsies en mense wat maatskaplike werk as ‘n skelwoord sien, het die goeie nog altyd vir haar die slegte oorskadu en bly dit lekker om te weet jy beteken regtig iets vir iemand.

“Ongelukkig is baie mense bang vir ons omdat hulle dink ons gee kos en klere, maar veroorsaak groot hartseer om kinders uit huise te verwyder. Die werklikheid is dat ons opgelei is om persone terapeuties te help wat om ‘n rede of redes wanfunksioneer. Mens moet soms ingrypend optree om die gesin weer ef-fektief te laat funksioneer.”

Nel se grootste vreugde as maatskaplike werker is wanneer kinders noodgedwonge ver-wyder moet word en die plasing tóg suksesvol is en hulle ‘n nuwe lewe en ‘n tweede kans gegun word.

Maatskaplike werkers word opgelei om onder meer terapie te gee, met tieners te werk, huweliksverhoudings te probeer herstel en traumaberading en roubegeleiding te doen.

Die agt jaar wat sy roubegeleiding-groep-sessies aangebied het, was volgens haar ‘n reuse sukses omdat individue in groepsver-band besef het hul verloor nie hulle verstand nie, maar is in ‘n normale rouproses. Kosbare vriendskapsbande is in daardie sessies gesmee wat sy vir enigeen kan aanbeveel.

Van die dringendste gemeenskapskwessies wat Nel uitlig is armoede. “Kollegas, skool-hoofde en kerkleiers dink steeds armoede is op ander plekke, maar dit is in ons gemeenskap. Mense is besig om onder te gaan omdat hulle nie hulle finansiële verpligtinge kan nakom nie en te trots is om hulp te vra.”

Nel sê verder die geestesgesondheid van kinders en tieners wat deur egskeidings geraak word, is onrusbarend. “Ouers moet ter wille van kinders ooreenkom oor besoekregte in beste belang van die kinders. Ouers wat voort-veg maak dit vir kinders nóg moeiliker.”

Volgens haar funksioneer tieners en kinders net soveel beter as hul ouers het wat betrokke is, want ouers is daar om leiding te gee en op te tree waar nodig. Ouers moet verantwoorde-likheid vir hul kinders neem, hulle laat veilig voel en sekuriteit bied. Die boodskap moet wees dat daar niks is wat die gesin nie saam op enige gebied kan aanpak nie.

“As gevolg van dwelmmisbruikprobleme ly gesinslede daaronder en wanfunksioneer. Polokwane het ‘n baie groot dwelmprobleem wat vinnig onder baie professionele mense toeneem. Enigeen wat nie besef hoe omvang-ryk die probleem is nie, is naïef.”

Vir nou is dit vir haar genoeg om rustig by die huis te wees, nuwe geleenthede te ondersoek en meer tyd saam met haar gesin deur te bring.

Jacobus Engelbrecht donates his 200th unit of blood

PHOtO: HERBERt RacHuEnE

Jacobus Engelbrecht donated his 200th unit of blood on Saturday.

“I am happy with the contribution I have made. I started donating blood in 1975 when I was still in matric. Since then I have never stopped. I embarked on this noble initiative because I realised that there are lots of people who are in dire need of blood,” he said.

Miss Limpopo keeps her promisesKESHIA J V RENSBURG>> [email protected]

A destitute family who not long ago were living in a dilapidated plastic shack and using the bucket toilet system are sleeping soundly in a two-bedroom house after Miss Limpopo 2014, Kholofelo Lekganyane, kept her promise and lightened the burden they carried for so long.

Lekganyane first spoke to Polokwane Ob-server not long after having been crowned as Miss Limpopo 2014 and quickly made it evident that she would be taking the Moloto family from Mankweng under her wings. It was first reported that not only was the family living in a one roomed plastic shack that was ready to cave in at any moment but they were also dependent on the bucket system. “The Molotos have now moved into their two-roomed home and also have their own corrugated iron toilet,” she reported.

Lekganyane further said the head of the household is completely over the moon since his family has been able to move into their new home, and just in time as well as the shack did indeed crumble in, as they had ex-pected. “I am a happy man because now I can sleep soundly knowing my family is protected from the elements. Our family will now regain dignity and respect as we were before seen as the laughing stock of the community,” Moloto is reported to have said.

Lekganyane explained that apart from giv-ing the family a stable roof over their heads it is also about sustainability. “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime,” she quoted the age old adage. She reiterated that the motto she lives by daily is that the title she carries is nothing in comparison with the good she can do by having the title work for her community. A wise man once said, “Be the change you want to see in your community,” she quoted.

The two-bedroom dwelling the Moloto fam-ily from Mankweng can now call home. Miss Limpopo 2014 Kholofelo Lekganyane also ensured the family have a corrugated iron toilet. PHoto: SUPPLIEd

Blood bank: an essential service RC MyBURGH>>[email protected]

The South African Blood Service’s (SANBS) runs an ongoing awareness campaign to en-sure sufficient blood supply and in the process wishes to bring certain issues under the atten-tion of the general public.

SANBS Limpopo Public Relations Practi-tioner Dottie Pinn was quoted in a recent press statement to have said that the SANBS is a non-profit organisation with the key purpose to save lives by providing safe, sufficient and good quality blood products and medi-cal services related to blood transfusion in an equitable and cost effective manner.

Why do patients pay for blood transfusions?

SANBS is tasked with collecting, transporting, testing and storing of blood required for pa-tients on a daily basis. “For this reason SANBS has a fee for service and this is billed depend-ing on the blood product that is required by the patient together with all other operating costs. It is important to note that SANBS does not sell blood to patients but provides a service that ensures that all government and private hospitals meet their daily blood needs.”

Why should people donate blood?Citizens are encouraged to donate blood to help save the lives of patients in need of blood transfusions. “Every unit of blood is vital and once tested and deemed safe for transfusion is separated into red blood cells, platelets and plasma. Therefore a unit of blood has more than one life saving use and can save up to three people’s lives.” Pinn added that research has shown that SANBS requires more regular blood donors to consistently meet the country’s demand for blood.

The popular Polokwane Short Circuit Racetrack has a new committee and will be hosting a family fun day at the track on Saturday.

The new committee falling under the chairmanship of Dean Rudiger, who is also the chairperson of the adjacent Capricorn Racing Club, has urged all mo-torbike enthusiasts to bring their families along for a fun-filled day.

The re-invented track is suitable for racing again and many Polokwane biking personalities will be gracing the event.

Biking fans will also be able to get a glimpse of the Zambesi Motorrad Endur-ance Racing Team and their limited edi-tion BMW HP2 motorbike that participated in the 24-hour endurance race at the Red Star Raceway in Delmas at the end of last year. Motorcyclists will be able to test their machines on the track throughout the day.

The Polokwane Short Circuit Racetrack will also be hosting a number of go-kart-ing and motorcycle events later this year. The gates will open at 09:00 on Saturday and the track will be open all day.

Food and beverages will also be avail-able.

Polokwane City FC can defeat Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday when they meet in a Premier

Soccer League (PSL) clash. This is the opinion of Polokwane City FC defender Vukile Mngqibisa who said: “We believe we can win on Saturday. Sundowns is a good team with quality players and they are vying for the league.”

“We are fighting for survival in the league so it is going to be an interest-ing match. We won’t be travelling to Pretoria to add numbers but to put up a good performance.”

Polokwane City FC is currently in 14th position of the league with 19 points after 20 matches and they need to start winning matches to avoid relegation.

They caused a major upset last year October when they defeated PSL title contenders Mamelodi Sundowns

at Peter Mokaba Stadium. On Sunday however they were beaten 3-1 by third placed Bidvest Wits at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

“Wits surprised us on Sunday. We did not expect that kind of perfor-mance from them. They scored three early goals and we struggled to come back in the game because they wanted to defend that margin. Howev-er, we learned from our mistakes and I think we can do better in upcoming matches,” Mngqibisa said.

The Assupol Limpopo Blue Bulls suffered a heavy defeat of 62-10 against the Down Touch Griffons at Bultfontein on Saturday in the first round of the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition.

The halftime score was 19-10 in the hosts’ favour. The Grif-fons ran in ten tries to the two scored by the Limpopo Blue Bulls. Limpopo’s tries were scored by lock, Divan Cronje and left wing, Sinethemba Maphaqa.

Local rugby supporters are urged to come out in their num-bers to support the Limpopo Blue

Bulls when they play their first home match against the Leopards at the new Peter Mokaba Sta-dium in the second round of the competition on Saturday. There will be a full programme of rugby action starting with a ten-man rugby tournament that kicks off at 13:00.

Rugby clubs which will be contesting the ten-man tourna-ment are BB Truck & Tractor Noordelikes Rugby Club, Kargo Pietersburg Rugby Club, Letaba, Louis Trichardt, Messina, Univer-sity of Venda, Limpopo University and Phalaborwa.

The Vodacom Cup fixture will start at 15:00.

Limpopo Softball Associa-tion’s provincial women head coach, Ntate Pila is confident that his youthful side will bring home silverware during the National Softball Cham-pionships set to take place in Cape Town from 18 to 23 March. Pila was speaking af-ter the three day camp of the provincial woman’s team held in Polokwane from Friday to Sunday.

Historically the provincial women’s team performed below average to such an extent that they never quali-fied for the semi finals in their previous national events.

“The girls have upped their standard as compared to their performance during the

previous camp. They made a commitment that they will do their best to ensure that we bring home a medal. They will have an opportunity to sharpen their skills next weekend before they leave for Cape Town,” Pila said.

The team consist of Havey Kekana, Mitchel Thubakgale, Rejoice Mmatli, Maishibe Le-kalakala, Raesetsa Matseme-la, Conny Kekana and Thato Mokonyane (all from Mah-welereng Spikes), Mmaphefo Mabokela, Goloti Shika, Pat Mothapo and Imelda Mabokela (all from Naledi Spi-ders), Precious Mokwena and Tumisang Sebopela (Diphale Softball club), Rosina Rachidi and Thato Kupa (Mankweng Pioneers), Makgwarane Molo-mo and Mmathapelo Komape (Lebowakgomo WildBeasts).

7th Baobab Classic a roaring success


A wet course playing a bit longer than usual at the Polokwane Golf Club during the annual Baobab Classic that was held from Thursday to Saturday failed to dampen the spirits of the full field of 144 golfers that participated in the event.

The tournament commenced last Thursday with the Meropa Casino & Entertainment World sponsored 4-ball alliance that was won by Bernardt Steyn Wessel Steyn, David van der Walt and Chris Delport, who won after a three way count-out with a score of 75 points. The 4-ball made up of Joas

Legodi, Adam Malanzi, SP Maskanane and Pat Molepo ended in second position on an identical score. In third place was the alliance of Duanne Viljoen, Andrew Galloway, Hannes Wil-lemse and Thys de Kock.

On day two, Modern Autohaus BMW sponsored the Betterball Stable-ford competition that also included the prestigious Captains Knockout Trophy. This gave the golfers the opportunity to compete for two prizes in one day.

The veteran team of Aart Juriaanse and Willie Marx won the Captains Knockout and the betterball stableford of Brian Oriley and Glen Wynne were victorious in the Modern Autohaus competition. Both teams thanked

Modern Autohaus for their continuous sponsorship which has contributed to-wards the success of the Baobab Clas-sic. Saturday’s individual stableford competition was unfortunately short-ened to 15 holes after lightning and a heavy downpour halted proceedings. Dirk Botha was the fortunate winner of a three-way count-out ahead of Glen Wynne and Duanne Viljoen after all three golfers finished on 36 points.

Polokwane club captain, Papa G Motseki thanked all the sponsors that have been involved with the Baobab Classic over the past seven years for their outstanding relationship and re-minded all golfers to diarise the event for next year.

BB Truck & Tractor Noordelikes Rugbyklub (Noordelikes) het Saterdag die onderspit op ‘n sopnat rugbyveld in die eerste rondte van die Cell C Gemeenskapbeker

teen Boksburg Rugbyklub met 13-42 gedelf.Voor die wedstryd het Noordelikes se hoofborg, BB

Truck & Tractor die klub se nuwe truie oorhandig. Noorde-likes se president, Tony Varela het BB Truck & Tractor vir hul borgskap namens die bestuur en spelers bedank asook hul volgehoue ondersteuning en reuse bydrae tot die klub se sukses.

Deon Steynberg, BB Truck & Tractor-verkoopsbestu-urder het gesê dit is ‘n plesier om met ‘n georganiseerde spangroep soos Noordelikes, die afgelope vyf jaar Limpopo se kampioenspan, saam te werk.

Die nat weer het Saterdag ‘n groot rol in die span se nederlaag teen Boksburg gespeel omdat die spelers gesukkel het om die bal in die omstandighede te beheer. Boksburg se swaarder pak voorspelers kon die wedstryd van meet af aan domineer. Die skeidsregter het die wed-stryd in die eerste helfte weens weerlig gestaak waarna spel sowat 20 minute later in baie nat en modderige toestande hervat is.

Noordelikes se twee drieë is deur Johan de Beer en Ricardo Varela aangeteken en Zander Byleveldt het met ‘n strafskop geslaag.

BB Truck & Tractor hosted another successful product launch at their premises on Friday with the highlight being the hand-over of New Holland construction equipment to Maruma Plant Hire, a well-established construction company in Limpopo.

Although last week’s heavy rainfall made conditions for the launch rather wet and muddy on Friday, it was the perfect op-portunity to test the capabilities of the trucks on the purpose built track at the dealer’s premises.

The company has a proven track record in their respective franchises. Their excellent track record, experience and knowledge in the business are unsurpassed. The compa-ny’s top four management team members boast a combined experience of over 120 years in the field.

>> Reën is deel van die pret>> ‘n Gesinsnaweek vir almalBARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

Die vierde jaarlikse BB Dieprivier 4x4 gesinsnaweek het weer die afgelope naweek op die plaas,

Palmietfontein plaasgevind. Benewens die 70 viertrekvoertuie is ook tien kwadfietse ingeskryf.

Deelnemers en belangstellendes het reeds van Vrydagmiddag op die terrein aangekom alhoewel registrasie eers Saterdagoggend douvoordag begin het. Na Vrydagaand se ete het ‘n boereorkes vir geesbou gesorg. Almal het duim vasgehou dat die reën wat voorspel is, nie die naweek te veel gaan bederf nie. “Modder en waterpoele sorg in elk geval vir meer opwinding en verg spesiale behen-digheid,” het een van die deelnemers gesê.

Jurie Olivier van die komitee het aan Polokwane Observer gesê dat die byeenkoms ook ‘n gesinsaktiwiteit is en dat passasiers (soveel as wat die aantal veiligheidsgordels toelaat) aan die ryery kon deelneem. Dit was dus duidelik nie ‘n wedren nie, maar eerder ‘n ervaring op ‘n baan waar-

toe 4x4-entoesiaste nie gewoonweg toegang het nie. Te oordeel aan die voertuie wat reggestaan het om te vertrek, is dit duidelik dat dit ernstige sake is. Polokwane Observer se verslaggewer het ‘n uitnodiging om saam te ry, versigtig en beleefd van die hand gewys.

Alhoewel geen ernstige ongeval plaasgevind het nie, is ‘n ambulans-diens op die terrein ontplooi. ‘n Hele paar stalletjies het verseker dat almal worsbroodjies, hamburgers, panne-koek en koeldrank kan geniet. Daar was ook etes beskikbaar en snuisterye te koop by die kleurryke stalletjies onder tente en “gazebo’s”.‘n Spesiale damesprogram is aangebied en Santie Beeslaar het die dames toegespreek terwyl Anton Myburgh vir vermaak gesorg het.

Saterdagaand het Country Chix gesorg dat almal lekker kon ontspan en die aandete wat verskaf is, kon geniet. Die prysuitdeling het toe ook plaasgevind.

Die verrigtinge is Sondagoggend afgesluit met ‘n bos kerkdiens in die groot tent en almal kon oppak om die modder te gaan afwas want die reën het veral Saterdag dele van die terrein in ‘n modderbad omskep.

Die Dieprivier, waarlangs sekere dele van die baan gebou is, het later sterk afgekom en die bruisende water was ‘n uitsonderlike gesig. Gelukkig vir die deelnemers, was dié trajek reeds afgehandel.

Former National Off-road quad champion Brian Baragwanath showed that he will be a force to be reckoned with this year when he won the opening round of the 2014 champion-ship at the Diamond Route 400 that was held outside Wolmaransstad in North West over the weekend.

Riding for his new team (Team RHIDE SA Yamaha), Baragwanath took the early lead in the tough 360 km race, but was involved with a race-long battle with fellow-Polokwanian, Jurie ‘Botter’ Meyer (Yamaha Support), the defending quad champion.

Meyer had two flat tyres during the race and finished a minute behind Baragwanath, with Tzaneen teenager, Jaco Moller (Port-able Shade/Extreme ATV Tzaneen Yamaha) rounding off the overall podium position in the Q1 category. This made it a clean sweep for Limpopo and bodes well for the province’s quad riders for the rest of the season.

The newly elected President of the South African Institute of Civil Engineers (SAICE), Stanford Mkhacane is living

proof that there are no short cuts in achiev-ing your goals but that lots of hard work and determination are the pillars of success.

In his acceptance address to members of the institute after being elected as president of SAICE at the beginning of February, Mkhacane spoke about his vision of taking civil engineer-ing to the remote and marginalised areas of South Africa and beyond. He also highlighted the challenges facing the civil engineering profession where socio-economic challenges abound owing to a lack of job opportunities.

Mkhacane was born in the then Northern Transvaal in 1950, in the Mhinga Traditional Authority area in the Botsoleni village situated in the present Thulamela Municipality in the Vhembe district. In those days all the boys had the responsibility to tend their family’s cattle, goats and donkeys.

Herding cattle would be alternated with attending school – in one week you would go to school for only two days (Tuesday and Thursday) and the next week for three days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). The drought of 1963 to 1965 nearly interrupted Mkhacane’s education, as his father considered sending him off to herd cattle in the far-off area of Makuleke where there was better grazing. However, his father decided to send someone else instead to enable Mkhacane to complete his secondary education.

He matriculated from Lemana High School in 1970. In those days engineering was a

‘far-fetched’ profession with teaching being the preferred choice. The naturally gifted young man was not interested in teaching and cherished dreams of becoming an agricultural officer, but could not obtain a bursary from the then Gazankulu government who instead offered him employment as an administrative clerk. When the govern-ment offered civil engineering bursa-ries to employees who had obtained good Mathematics and science matric passes, Mkhacane applied and was accepted. He seized the opportunity with both hands and com-pleted his National Diploma in Civil Engi-neering at Mmadikoti Technical College in 1974.

After working as an engineering technician for a short while, he was chosen by the government as one of the techni-cians to pursue a degree towards civil engineering. In 1976 he enrolled at the then University of the North for a BSc

degree in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry to prove that he had the stamina and determi-nation to accomplish his final goal of becom-ing a civil engineer. In 1978 after relaxing the rules regarding black students studying at

‘white’ universities, Mkhacane went on to enrol at the Uni-versity of Natal for a BSc Civil Engineer-ing degree which he completed in 1981.

He thereafter went back to work for the Department of Works at the Gazankulu Govern-ment, first as an engineer and later as senior roads engi-neer up to 1991. He also pursued further studies at the Univer-sity of Pretoria where he obtained degrees in BEng Hons and MEng (Transpor-tation) in 1990, followed by a MBA from Potchefstroom University in 2001.

Since 1991 Mkha-cane has been work-ing in the consulting engineering environ-ment as a director of Jordaan & Joubert Incorporated, as chairman of African

Consulting Engineers (Pty) Ltd, as vice-chair-man of Gibb Africa (Pty) Ltd and from 1999 to date as the chairman of Nyeleti Consulting (Pty) Ltd. Over the years he has been involved in the design and construction of roads and the implementation of labour-intensive and community-based public works projects.

As the president of SAICE, Mkhacane says he is concerned with the low presence of civil engineering professionals in remote and marginalised areas. “This is a critical issue that needs urgent and serious attention from SAICE. Although a large number of the popula-tion live in rural and marginalised areas, only a quarter of professionals are found in these areas.

“We need more than five times the present number of civil engineers in South Africa to cater for the growing needs of the industry and to suitably take care of the road infrastruc-ture projects that are necessary for economic growth in the country. We need strategies to close the skills gap in civil engineering to take the industry to the previously marginalised communities,” Mkhacane has urged fellow members of the SAICE.

His vision in taking the civil engineering profession to these areas is to implement strategies to increase the presence, visibility, awareness and appreciation of the value of the civil engineering profession. “We need to em-bark on a mission to preach the gospel of civil engineering to these communities,” Mkhacane says.

That is why he has chosen the slogan of “Forward with Civilution” for his year-long term as the president of SAICE.
