Jailed for sjambokking

his wivesTwo Limpopo women who sustained seri-ous injuries on the eve of the 16 days of

activism against women and children abuse now have no food on the table, after their

husband was jailed for assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

Augusto Shivambu (32), was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment in the Malamulele Magistrate’s

Court last Wednesday, following his conviction. He savagely assaulted his two wives with a sjambok after

a pair of sandals went missing.One of the wives, Nancy (25),

who sustained serious injuries al over her body during the beating, had nevertheless played down the

incident. She told Magistrate Nor-man Maluleke that the beating took one minute. Later she told Limpopo Mirror

she talked of one minute because she wanted her husband released.

“I feel he should have received a warning. It was a mistake and he did not usually beat us,” she

said.Yesterday, Limpopo Mir-

ror visited the other wife,

who had not been to court as she had run away. Elizabeth (28), the mother of five, said she ran away during the beating but could not escape the sjambok marks on her face. “I went to my relatives in Venda and only came back when I heard he had been sentenced,” said Eliza-beth. “We are both unemployed and there is no food for the seven children,” she added.

She said neither of them had an ID as they were from Mozambique, although they had been here for the last eight years. Three of the children were receiving grants, she said, and their father was the one who had been receiving those on their behalf.

“Our husband had been here for the last 20 years and that is why he has been given permanent residence in South Africa. He also did odd jobs to support the chil-dren, but with him gone to jail, we are starving,” she said.

She said the beating took place when Shivambu found his pair of sandals missing in one of the huts which did not have a lock.

“He took offence and he said we should know as we are the people who are supposed to know everything at home,” she said.

At the time of the visit, neighbours had given them some food. “I felt pity for the children and I gave them some food and if my husband knows, he may be cross with me,” said a neighbour, who refused to be named.

Nancy believes that her husband should have been

given a second chance, so that he could continue to look after the family. She says now

that he is gone, the family is going to starve.

R10 000 donation for Home Based Care

Man allegedly kills 1-month-old baby

Ritual murder case postponed

Scorp ion Lega l Pro tec -tion donated R10 000 to the Thusalushaka Home-Based Care Centre at Tshikwarani Village last Friday.

The presentation of the cheque took place at the premises of the project.

Mr Edwin Mukhomi, manager of Scorpion Legal Protection in Elim, said when he learnt that the members of the Thusalushaka Home-Based Care were women from the rural community who wanted to improve the standard of living of others, he felt com-pelled to assist.

“As part of nation building

and community development, our company identifies needy projects that are playing vital roles in communities and pro-vide funding as another way of encouraging them to continue making a difference in their re-spective communities,” he added.

Mukhomi said it had become a tradition at his company to plough back a certain percentage of their income into the com-munities where they operate. “It is not the first time that we have donated to the community. Our donations focus on those projects which have done something for the community,” he added.

According to Takalani Tshivh-ula of Thusalushaka Home-Based Care, they started in 2006 with the aim of specifically assisting orphans, the mentally ill, diabetics, asthma patients and the elderly.

“We have many financial constraints and are relying on hand-outs from the local business fraternity. We kept marching on, ensuring that a friendly and healthy environment for victims exists in our society” she said.

She added that the money they received would be used to buy uniforms for vulnerable children, stationery and food.

A 55-year-old local builder appeared before the Dzanani Magistrate’s Court in connec-tion with the death of a one-month-old baby. The incident allegedly happened a fortnight ago, at Tshavhalovhedzi-Mase-toni in the Nzhelele area.

Andries Maswanganyi is al-leged to have strangled one of his one-month-old twin stepdaugh-ters, Mukundi Malivha, during the night.

The suspect’s live-in woman and mother of the baby, Ms Sharon Malivha (32), said that she woke up during the night and noticed Maswanganyi dig-ging his fingers into the baby’s throat. “I asked him what he was doing and he said he was feeding the baby some formula,” said a visibly shaken Malivha.

“I asked him again what he was up to, and he took out his gun and threatened to shoot me to death if I ever told anybody about what he was doing,” continued Malivha. “He had a small gun when we first met, which he later

used to threaten me.” When Malivha woke up the

next morning (Monday, 5 No-vember), she found that her first-born daughter had gone to school and Maswanganyi was nowhere to be seen around the home. She then noticed that one of the twins was dead. “He first attempted to strangle Mukundi on Saturday night and I thought he wouldn’t do it again, after I had warned him,” she spoke tearfully.

Malivha met the suspect some two months ago, when she was still pregnant with the twins. She had just separated from her husband, who had fathered the twins. She only came to live with Maswanganyi at his one-roomed house after the birth of her two daughters around 23 September.

“I am still shocked about the turn of events,” said Malivha when Limpopo Mirror visited her.

“Maswanganyi had accept-ed me and my seven-year-old daughter, in spite of the fact that I was pregnant with another

man’s babies. Why did he do this to me now?”

According to Malivha, the problem started about three weeks earlier, when Maswang-anyi expressed displeasure at the fact that baby Mukundi looked exactly like her biological father and that she had no resemblance to him. “I didn’t understand why he was so concerned about the looks of the baby when he really knew that Mukundi was not his baby,” Malivha said. “What am I going to tell Mukundi’s twin sis-ter when she has grown up, that a man I loved had killed her?”

Tshavhalovhedzi civic chair-person Mr Thomas Mavhela expressed his shock after learning about the incident. “The death of a young child is something like a killing of our future,” said Mavhela. “Maswanganyi originally came from Bela-Bela, while Malivha is from Gogogo.”

Maswanganyi’s case was post-poned to 30 January 2013. He remains in custody.

The six men who are being accused of commit-ting a ritual murder appeared in the Regional Court in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) last Friday (23 November).

Frans Madzivhe (54), David Mnisi (27), Me-shack Mkhwanadzi (20), Reynie Abraal (31), Meshack Malange (21) and Shadrack Malange (21) are alleged to have killed Mr Phillip Bendzani and removed his genitals before setting him alight at Mununzu Farm outside Elim on 16 May, 2012.

The case was postponed to 7 December for fur-ther investigations and for a decision by the director of public of prosecutions.

Part of the huge crowd that gathered at the river after news of the drowning circulated.

A young contract worker’s life came to an abrupt end last Satur-day, when he drowned while swim-ming in the Nzhelele River.

The body of Mr David Maloba (22) of Ha-Manthata in the Bochum area was found submerged in the deep water by divers on Saturday. He was working in the area as a construction worker, on the construction of RDP

houses. The scorching heat in the area prompted him and a friend, Walter Malete, to go to the Nzhelele River, which is a stone’s throw from where they were staying. The previous day, as they were not working, Maloba and his friend enjoyed a fun-filled day of swimming and relaxing in the water. They also took pictures while swim-ming in the water. On Saturday, the

Young contract worker (22) drowns in the Nzhelele River

pair returned to the river as they were not work-ing. Little did they know that it was going to be their last day together.

News of the drown-ing spread like wildfire, with community mem-bers from the nearby villages coming in their numbers to the scene.

Within a short space of time, the river banks were swarming with curious onlookers.

Police divers arrived a little later and did not waste time in locating the body.

"We were preparing for a bath on the other side of the river when women who were doing washing requested us to move a little further away from them. While I was still looking at the other side of the river, my friend disappeared into the water. I tried to help him, but could not as it was deep,” said a sobbing Walter Malete. "We are from the same vil-lage and he was just like a brother to me. I find it hard to accept that I will not see him again. It is very painful to lose someone very close to you," he added.

The councillor for Ward 28 in the Thulamela municipal council, Mr Joseph Mavhunga, said that drown-ing was a cause for concern among the residents, as this was not the first incident.

"Last year, a 12-year-old girl died at the same spot. We should rather stay away from this river, as it is killing our people," he said, adding that they were going to conduct an awareness campaign to warn people against venturing into the water.

Well-known traditional healer Vho Maine Vho Neluvhola, who also arrived at the scene, warned people about the dangers of venturing into the water while knowing that they cannot swim. "We are losing many people on a yearly basis through drowning,” he said. “We urge our

communities to stay away from the rivers, even though we know it is hot. If needs be, those swimming should do so under the supervi-sion of trained people or those who know how to swim," he added.

Mr George Mudau, project manager at Todi Business Enter-prise where Maloba was working, said it was painful to lose a worker in that manner. "We lost a skilful person who will be hard to replace. We are going to meet with his family and see how we can meet them in or-der to give him a decent burial," said Mudau.

Police divers retrieve the body of the deceased from the river.

Pre-school celebrates as kids “graduate”Children are a dear gift to human life and they should be cared for and given pure love, said the “ambassador for peace and security” of the Makhado Municipality, Mr Amie Chhaya.

He was a speaker during Ma-sakona Pre-School’s year-end “graduation,” held at the pre-school grounds at Masakona Thondo a fortnight ago.

The principal and founder of the pre-school, Mrs Evelyn Sundani, said that this year’s ceremony was a community af-fair, because the children didn’t only belong to their parents and the crèche but to the community

at large. “We understand that no-body would allow any of our little ones to be abused in any manner in this community,” Sundani said. “It tells us that every one of us is accountable for the welfare of our kids.”

“My love for children started when I was a babysitter for five children for about eight years, between 1969 and 1977, in Jo-hannesburg,” she explained. “I started this pre-school in 1989, when I came back home. All we need is child safety because each one of us wants to see their child living in a safe community.”

The pre-school thanked Mr Chhaya for his continued support

and even presented him with a certificate of appreciation. Cllr Sabinah Rikhotso (Ward 6) ex-pressed her appreciation for the kind of love and support those parents, guardians and child caregivers continued to shower the little ones with in this age of uncertainty.

The pre-school still experi-ences a lack of funding as many children come from poor back-grounds and the money they pay can hardly sustain the crèche. “Bodies like Martins Funerals, M Premjee and Sons, AA Furnish-ers and Mr Omar Bobs continue to support us,” acknowledged Sundani.

A group of visitors and little “graduates” perform during the ceremony.

In the photo are (from left to right) Cllr Sabinah Rikhotso (Ward 6), Mrs Takalani Nesengani (Masakona Pre-School), Mr Amie Chhaya and Mrs Evelyn Sundani.

The MEC for Coope rative Governance, Housing and Local Government, Mr Clifford Motsepe, is being congratulated by SALGA Limpopo chairperson Mr David Magabe after delivering a s p e e c h d u r i n g a municipal lekgotla in T h o h o y a n d o u l a s t Wednesday. Motsepe told mayors in Limpopo not to shift the blame when challenges of not utilising the Municipality In fra structure Grant (MIG) funds e merged, but they should also blame themselves. “The main reason we have service delivery backlogs is a lack of forward planning,” he said.

Radio star Barakhuda visits Musina

More funding for Krone-Endora mineThe Canadian mining company Diamcor Mining Inc has se-cured an additional US$4 mil-lion loan from its strategic alli-ance partner Tiffany & Co for their Krone-Endora diamond mine in the Soutpansberg-area.

The news of the additional funds that Diamcor acquired follows after Diamcor made it known in August this year that they had unearthed several thousand individual diamonds at Krone-Endora.

Until the end of August, Di-amcor had recovered individual diamonds with a total combined weight, before acidizing, of ap-proximately 1 214.86 carats.

Of these, the company was

very pleased to note that 85 rough diamonds were 1 carat or larger.

In the meantime, Tiffany’s subsidiary, Tiffany & Co Can-ada, will provide the financing through a US$2.4 million term loan and a $1.6 million convert-ible debt debenture.

Diamcor said that the financing will advance Krone-Endora.

Pursuant to the loan's closing, Diamcor will use the funds to procure equipment and expand the quarrying and in-field screen-ing operational capacity of the mine.

Diamcor president and CEO Dean Taylor said, "We believe deploying this additional equip-ment now will allow us to fur-

ther enhance results which are already meeting or exceeding our expectations and provide us with the ability to expedite our overall goals and targets for the long term."

All the activities that are cur-rently underway at Krone-En-dora, however, still form part of Diamcor’s testing exercises. This is due to the fact that the Department of Mineral Rights has yet to give the green light for the mine’s mining right licence. The company indicated that the process is underway and that they are confident of a favourable response from the department.

Musina Mayor Cllr Carol Phiri and Mashudu Barakhuda Mathivha.

People from Musina were lucky to rub shoulders with the famous SABC radio drama character, Mashudu Barakhu-da Mathivha, at the weekend.

Mathivha is the toast of Phala-phala FM listeners for his role as Barakhuda in the first Tshivenda radio soapie, I khou khidzhana. Since he started acting more than 20 years ago, Barakhuda had landed roles in more than 200 radio dramas in the then Radio Venda and now Phalaphala FM.

A teacher by profession, Bara-khuda stays at Madombidzha Zone 2. He is presently a unit manager at the Thohoyandou Correctional Facility at Matatshe. Besides acting, he has also pro-duced several radio dramas on Phalaphala FM.

Barakhuda says his break-through in radio drama acting came in 1989. “I didn’t take it seriously that I was a born actor at the time. It came to my mind that I might succeed because people used to laugh at everything I said wherever I went. For me, acting is no longer a hobby but a way of life. Even when I was still a teacher, pupils used to like my periods because I made teach-ing interesting by coupling the

subject matter with acceptable jokes.”

He also had a stint with SABC 2's TV drama, Muvhango, as Vho-Madzena, a funeral un-dertaker. That was way back in 1997.

Before joining Correctional Services, Barakhuda taught his-tory at Sinugani and Maneledzi High School. “Teaching is a noble and interesting profession, but I had to venture into other careers as I am not afraid of fac-ing other challenges in life. As a radio drama actor and a working man, I make sure that I balance my time effectively to fulfil all my roles.”

Asked what makes a great ac-tor, Barakhuda says: “An actor must be convincing in his role and accurately portray elements

such as time and emotion to the audience. A great actor is so convincing in a role that he or she must be able to hold an audience captive and make them feel as if there is nothing but the story at hand. A great actor has a natural talent for performing and enter-taining. You must also have the love of arts at heart, being able to learn new tricks and always read more about acting.”

And his message to aspirant young actors is: “Acting is an interesting career, but one must first go to school because educa-tion is the only key to a brighter future.” He says he is planning to conduct radio drama acting workshops in disadvantaged communities during the festive season.

About 43 000 Zimbabweans were deported from South Africa to Zimbabwe through the Beit Bridge Border Post over the last 12 months as the crackdown on illegal immi-grants staying in the country continues.

The local police spokesperson, Chief Supt Lawrence Chinhengo, said that between October last year and this year, they handled 42 940 deportees. South Africa resumed the deportations of Zim-babwean illegal immigrants last October, after having initially suspended the exercise in April 2009. This was after the country had introduced a moratorium on the deportation of Zimbabweans, granting them a special dispensa-tion for one year, so that they could regularize their stay in that country.

“On average, our statistics indicate that we receive between 200 and 300 deportees daily and most of them would have been brought in from Lindela in Johan-nesburg,” he said.

The largest number of deporta-tions on a single day was record-ed on 5 December last year when 672 Zimbabweans were rounded up in Limpopo and Gauteng.

Chinhengo indicated that sev-eral border jumpers were taking advantage of the drop in water levels in the Limpopo River to cross the border illegally through undesignated entry points.

He said, however, that they had intensified patrols along the border with their South African counterparts. Due to these pa-trols, they had recorded a 76% decline in robberies along the Limpopo River between January and October, compared to the same period last year.

“We continue to warn people against irregular migration, how-ever, as they risk prosecution and being attacked by robbers who operate in bushy areas along the river,” he said.

Chinhengo expressed concern over the continuous haphazard deportation of ex-convicts, say-ing it fuelled crime in the border town. “South African authori-ties are supposed to deport ex-convicts separately, but, sadly, we continue to receive them in a mixed batch and that is now a major challenge for us when it comes to screening. They are supposed to be vetted first and then categorised accordingly, because some of them would

have been on our wanted list and end up engaging in criminal activities and fuelling crime in Beit Bridge,” he said.

On arrival in the country, the returnees are received by the immigration authorities at the Beit Bridge Reception and Support Centre (BRSC) of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), who vet them to ascertain whether they are bona fide Zimbabweans. Soon after that process, they are then further vetted by police before being taken to the IOM, which offers them overnight accom-modation, medication, food and transport to proceed to their respective homes.

The BRSC IOM has the capac-ity to accommodate 600 people at any given time.

Some of the deportees turn down any form of assistance from the IOM and those who opt to go home using their own means are released. Most of them resort to crossing back to South Africa illegally through undesignated entry points along the Limpopo River, despite of the dangers of being attacked by crocodiles or robbers operating in bushy areas near the river.

43 000 Zimbabweans deported this year

Soutpansberg Primary School in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) treated their Grade R pupils during a ceremony a fortnight ago and wished them well with their Grade 1 school year that will start in 2013. The school thanked Elim Spar and OK Grocer for their sponsorships and for helping to make a success of the event.

Suspected smugglers arrested

Woman raped and murdered

The Zimbabwean police at Beit Bridge arrested three suspects, one of them a South African, and recovered a consignment of 140 boxes of cigarettes with a street value of R300 000 that were being smuggled into the country through Beit Bridge Border Post.

The arrest took place last week.With the huge difference in excise

duties between the two countries, cigarettes sell for several times their Zimbabwean retail price in South Africa, making the traffic lucrative for smugglers.

Local police spokesperson Supt Andrew Phiri said they arrested Manstha Gilbert Ndou (34), a South African, Laf Hassani Muleya (31) and Christopher Sithole and impounded a South African truck in which the 140 boxes of cigarettes were hidden. The trailer of the truck had fake Zimba-bwean number plates.

“Our detectives received informa-tion that a truck belonging to Cudlux Transport Menlopark in Pretoria was loaded with cigarettes that were intended to be smuggled into South Africa. Soon after the truck had ar-rived at the Beit Bridge border post at 06:00, the detectives kept a constant surveillance on it,” he said.

Phiri said the driver of the truck and a local clearing agent for the transporter started completing cus-toms formalities while the detectives remained on guard. After they were done, the police approached them and asked for the cleared papers. They noted that the customs road manifest indicated that the truck had no load.

“When the truck was taken to the scanning machine, a container with a false compartment loaded with boxes of cigarettes was discovered, leading to the arrest of the three suspects,” Phiri said.

A 37-year-old woman from Bikita in Masvingo was found lying in a pool of blood along the Beit Bridge-Masvingo road, after an unknown assailant allegedly raped and brutally murdered her, police have said.

Police spokesperson Chief Supt Lawrence Chinhengo said the inci-dent occurred on Thursday in a bushy area along the Beit Bridge-Masvingo road. “The woman had several stab wounds on the head and neck. We

also recovered the woman’s passport and a booklet with contact numbers, which led us to her relatives,” he said.

The body was discovered by a mo-torist. The woman was later identified as Ms Tendai Zindoga.

“We have since launched a man-hunt for the suspect and we are also appealing to anyone with informa-tion that could lead to his arrest to contact any nearest police station or alternatively utilise our suggestion boxes,” he said.

Nditsheni Muleka of Makwarela and Luambo Tshiguvho of Mianzwi village tied the knot during a ceremony in the Faith Mission Church at Maraxwe village last Saturday.

The Mathidi family gathered to bury their loving grandmother, K u k u V h o V e l e Mathidi (102) at the Mathule cemetery in Lwamondo a fortnight ago. The loving gogo, who was described by Vho Thovhele Ndaedzo Nelwamondo as an archive for the people o f Lwamondo for holding the history of the village, was buried during a funeral that was attended by many from all walks of life. In the picture are members of her family at her grave after the funeral.

16 Days of Activism launched at W’poortThe Waterpoort police and community launched the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children during a ceremony at the Fhembeledzani Primary School on Saturday.

The event was attended by members of nearly all the police stations in the Makhado cluster, rep-resentatives from the departments of health, home affairs, social development and welfare as well as supporting communities from the Nzhelele area and project sponsors.

The event started with short-distance running in the early hours of the morning, while dance ses-sions and poetry renditions by cultural groups and the youth also took place.

Mrs Mpho Mukwevho, social worker at Biaba, appealed to the men to treat the women and children with dignity and respect. She pointed out that men have the tendency to abuse women and children, in the belief that this is their right because they are the man of the house. She also made a call for community members to contact her office or any other relevant office in cases where someone sees another person being abused next door.

According to the Waterpoort station commander, Capt Samuel Moshapo, the SAPS teams would be visiting all farms and communities around Water-poort to engage community members in issues of child and women abuse. “We’ve been holding this project successfully for some years,” Moshapo said. “We would like to thank all our sponsors because they are the people who make this event possible each year.”

Ms Dorah Maboko, a sub-district HIV and AIDS co-ordinator who is currently stationed at Ha-Rab-ali in Nzhelele, said that two mobile clinics would be visiting the surrounding farms in Waterpoort, where they would give medical examinations and treatment to the community at least once a month. “Any person who experiences medical problems and is unable to reach us telephonically or in per-son, should approach the Waterpoort police station, who will then contact us,” Maboko said.

Man arrested for ammo

School robbery case

“Good moral values are the keys to fight against violence and abuse”

Man in custody after death of his mother

The Makhado public order policing (POP) and K9 (formerly the Dog Unit) arrested a 24-year-old male suspect after he was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition last Thursday.

According to police information, they acted on information from various sources in arresting the suspect. “Further investigations have since revealed that the firearm was stolen around September this year,” said the spokesperson for the Makhado police, Capt Maano Sadiki.

In an unrelated incident, a 37-year-old suspect was arrested along the N1 Road after he was found in possession of illegal cigarettes, on 22 November.

The case against three men who are being ac-cused of robbing a school at Nthabalala village was postponed for judgement in the Hlanganani Regional Court on Friday.

The robbery took place on the night of 9 April 2011.

Mupo Mashaba (26), Cyril Fumani Sithole (19) and Liberty Sithole are alleged to have cut the fence at Nthabalala Primary School, entered the premises and proceeded to the guard’s house at the main gate. They allegedly attacked the guard and stabbed him three times with a knife. It was heard in court that they then went on to break into the classrooms and stole school property, which included computers, a water pump and toiletries.

Sithole is out on bail, while Mashaba and Lib-erty Sithole, who are both Zimbabwean citizens, remain in custody. The case was postponed to 10 December for judgement.

Residents of the Hlanganani area converged at the Rivoni Society for the Blind Hall on Saturday to support the 16 Days of Activism campaign, aimed at eradicating violence against women and children.

Chief Samuel Mukhari said culture and

In a spine-chilling incident that has left the local community shocked, a 38-year-old Beit Bridge man allegedly went berserk and hit his mother to death with a stone, before torching her hut, following a misunderstanding.

The local police spokesperson, Sgt Loveness Mangena, said that the gruesome murder occurred on Thursday at around 11:30 at the victim’s home-stead in Makhado village outside Beit Bridge. “The suspect, who has a history of mental illness, alleg-edly went to his mother’s homestead. On arrival, he found her at home and confronted her, accusing her of coercing his wife into staying with her. A misunderstanding allegedly ensued between the two during which the man allegedly picked a stone and struck his mother on the head.”

Mangena added that while the victim was lying unconsciously on the ground, the suspect allegedly took another huge stone and squashed her head.

Soon after committing the offence, the man set his mother’s hut ablaze and fled.

A report was made to the police and the man was arrested.

tradition played a major role in the ex-p l o i t a t i o n o f w o m e n a n d c h i l d r e n . “Culture and tradition are still used to justify the physical and emotional abuse of women and children. We have is to ensure that the campaign succeeds in breaking the silence against domestic

violence and abuse. At the same time, it cannot undermine the good that our culture and tradition can provide,” he added.

He mentioned that traditional and religious leaders could make a difference by instilling change in peo-ple’s perceptions about customs and family values. “Good moral values are keys in the fight against violence and abuse of both women and children. By embarking on this campaign today, all of us are clearly sending a message that women and children are worthy human beings who deserve to be valued and respected as equal members of society,” Mukhari said.

According to him, violence against children has reached an alarming stage, adding that people should learn to respect life. Ms Mabatho Ramak-goshi of the Mabatho Foundation for Women Development said her organisation would work in partnership with different structures, civil organisa-tions, community members and government bodies to fight the scourge of violence against woman and children in the area. “If we can join hands and work together in partnerships, we can win the war against women and child abuse,” she said.

Ms Thokozile Eister, project manager of Tipfux-eni Community project, said several women and children from the area had fallen victim to ritual killings in the past.

“Stray animals cause more accidents”

Computers for Elim Society for the Aged

Representat ives o f the Makhado Air Force Base (MAFB) visited the Sinthu-mule traditional authority last Friday, to inform the com-munities about the dangers of stray animals on the roads.

The aim of the campaign is to create a platform of debate with the council, the community and cattle farmers in particular, in order to find an answer to the problem of cattle, goats and sheep roaming the roads.

These animals are the main cause of road accidents in the area, said the communica-tions officer of the MAFB, Sgt Thomas Mulaudzi. “We’re currently experiencing a prob-lem of cattle entering into our land (air force grounds) from the Sinthumule area,” said Mulaudzi. “We therefore advise cattle owners to consider taking

precautionary measures with the safety of their animals.”

He added that, with this cam-paign, they hoped to avoid the straying of animals and unnec-essary loss of lives of people as a result of cars’ getting involved in accidents with stray animals.

Mulaudzi attributed these to the lack of cattle kraals at homes, the unavailability of grazing camps (land), the steal-ing of state property (fences) leading to open spaces, and cattle negligence. “Some of the solutions we suggest are for the farmers to start building safe places at home for their cattle in order to prevent these cattle from straying,” Mulaudzi continued.

“We’ll also sent a proposal to the municipality to assist with enough space for grazing. Fences also need to be erected

within the parameters of the main roads.” A call was also made on farmers to at least appoint herd boys to look after their cattle at all times. At the same time, motorists have been advised to drive with care. “We wish to promote good neigh-bourliness, friendship and good community relations with all the chiefs and residents living within the Makhado Municipal-ity,” said Mulaudzi.

Khosi Vho-Rudzani Sinthu-mule welcomed the suggestions and proposals put forward by the MAFB and said he would send the message to all his villages. “We believe that subsequent meeting with the Department of Land Affairs, the municipality and all cattle owners might lead to fruit-ful results,” said Khosi Vho-Sinthumule.

Vulnerable young and elderly people around the Elim area who have never been exposed to technology have entered the digital world and will soon be able to network and communi-cate with the outside world via computers.

The Elim Hlanganani Society for the Care of the Aged received 37 computers and two printers from Xstrata Alloys. The official handover took place at the soci-ety’s premises two weeks ago.

The Elim Hlanganani Society for the Care of the Aged won a Premier Excellence Award and was rewarded with R75 000 and a platinum trophy in Polokwane earlier this year. The award was sponsored by Xstrata Alloys, and the society of the aged opted for the computers and not for the

money.Ms Florence Khosa, the deputy

director of the society for the care of the aged, said the children at her centre were not computer literate because they could not afford computers. She said only a few of her staff were computer literate and the computers would not only help young people but would also be of help to staff members who would receive training there. “The young ones are the leaders of tomorrow, and we are very thankful that we will now be able to help them,” she added.

Mr Foster Maloka from Xstra-ta Alloys said it was a policy at his company that a certain por-tion of their profits be ploughed back into local communities for development. He said his

company had identified educa-tion as one of their focal areas of development as it prepared the future of the country by nurturing tomorrow’s leaders. “We believe in the future, and one way of guaranteeing our country a bet-ter future is through education,” he said.

Maloka urged young ones to make optimum use of the computers. He said that some of the findings of the ICT Strategy showed that computer literacy in the Limpopo was lower than low. Maloka said the time was now that the government needed to start responding to the challenges facing the education of mostly disadvantaged young ones.

The results are in from the October “Be A Hero” blood donation cam-paign run by Tiger Wheel & Tyre and the South African National Blood Service (SANBS).

In total, 89 306 generous individuals stuck out their arms and gave of their blood for this worthiest of causes.

“Though we’ve been running this campaign with SANBS for many years now, every year we are humbled by the staggering number of people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and donate blood. They are heroes, each and every one of them, and it was our profound pleasure to offer each donor a

voucher for free wheel balancing at any Tiger Wheel & Tyre store,” says Joe du Plooy, marketing executive of Tiger Wheel & Tyre.

The nationwide campaign, which ran from 1 to 31 October, is a vital part of the SANBS’s annual efforts to shore up its blood supplies in advance of the high-demand festive season, and with the fact that one pint of blood can save three lives, the need to increase dona-tions at this time is even more pressing. Donors were encouraged to donate blood at any one of the SANBS’s countrywide fixed donor sites or at one of the many mobile donor sites whose

whereabouts are updated regularly on the SANBS website. To encourage donation and reward heroic donors, Tiger Wheel & Tyre ran a competition where donors could SMS their donor number to stand a chance of winning a R5 000, R3 000 or R1 000 Tiger Wheel & Tyre gift card. “While this particular campaign is now over, the SANBS is always in need of your donation and es-pecially at this time of year,” concludes Du Plooy.

Hyundai recently launched their new generation i30 and, judging by the number of local sales, it remains a popular choice among prospective car buyers.

“We ordered ten i30s and all sold within the first month. This shows the public’s confidence in the model,” says Dawie Schlebusch, sales manager of Hyundai Motors in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). He adds that most of the new models went to existing Hyundai clients who traded in their older i30s.

According to Schlebusch, the new i30 will especially appeal to 30- to 45-year-old buyers in search of a reliable family car. Having to com-pete with other brand names such as Volkswagen’s Golf 6, Ford’s Focus and GM’s Opel Astra, huge emphasis was placed on the styling of the new model.

The new i30 is available in either a 1.6 litre or 1.8 litre engine, with all models coming out with standard dual zone climate control, 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating, 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, cruise control, radio/CD/MP3 and Bluetooth.

The 1.6 litre engine kicks out

95kW of power at 6 300rpm and 157Nm of torque at 4 850 rpm, while the 1.8 model delivers 110kW of power at 6 500 rpm and 178Nm of torque at 4 700 rpm. Not only are the new i30s therefore a nippy run-about in town, but they are also more than capable of tackling the open road.

When it comes to the open road, safety is always an issue and the i30 does not disappoint, boasting driver and passenger airbags, as well as side and curtain airbags. With an acceleration of 0-100km/h in10.5 seconds in the 1.6 models and 9.7 seconds (claimed) in the 1.8 models, all the power and speed are brought to a stop by an all-round ABS breaking system with disk brakes in both the front and rear. In addition, the i30s also feature vehicle stability assistance.

Starting from R229 900, the new i30s come standard with a five-year or 150 000km warranty, five-year or 90 000km service plan and five-year or 150 000km road side assistance. The service intervals are every 15 000km. For more information on the new i30, phone Hyundai Motors at Tel 015 516 8000.

Orlando not as thirsty as you might think It is not something that you see every day - a seven-seater family vehicle that does not slurp up fuel.

Fuel efficiency is, however, not the only way in which the Chevrolet Orlando breaks the traditional multipurpose vehicle mould. The Orlando makes its own unique design statement that distinguishes it from the pack … and it is oh so luxurious.

It is quite an impressive feat - a powerful 1.8 litre, 16-valve petrol engine with multi-point fuel injection that offers 9.4 litres per 100km (claimed). According to Imperial GM’s head of sales in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Martie Venter, you can drive to Gauteng with a single tank of fuel. “Even with the air con on,” Venter adds. Not only is the Orlando fuel efficient, but it also boasts bold styling, functionality, a flex-ible interior and excellent safety features. The Orlando truly shifts borders when it comes to the ideal family vehicle, rewriting the rules for a historically conservative market, with its stand-out-from-the-crowd looks and extras.

Based on a show concept vehicle first present-ed by Chevrolet on the International Motor Show circuit in 2008, the Orlando embodies the values and practicality associated with a contemporary family car. It combines seven-seater practicality with a generous load-carrying capacity.

With the rear of the vehicle configured for maximum load carrying, the Orlando offers one of the most voluminous spaces. A cavernous 1 499 litres can be achieved by flipping the sec-

ond and third rows of seats.Since this is a family vehicle, the designers

of the Orlando did not shy away from safety features. All the latest technologies available have been used to provide excellent passenger protection.

Despite the standard features such as driver and passenger airbags (six, in fact), the Orlando’s basic design incorporates crumple zones to absorb the initial impact to effectively dissipate impact energy. Additionally, the Orlando also comes with crash-sensor technology that releases the door locks auto-matically when a heavy impact is detected.

Tagged at R269 400, the Orlando might not be the cheapest on the market, but taking into consideration the standard features such as alloy wheels, power steering, height- and depth-adjustable steer-ing wheel, air condi-tioner, power side mir-rors and cruise control, the Orlando becomes a bargain buy.

For more informa-tion on the Orlando, visit Imperial GM in Krogh Street.

The holidays are so close and you are undoubtedly already planning your holiday road trip. Unless you’re travelling by sleigh with a team of reindeer, though, you’d do well to heed the advice of Tiger Wheel & Tyre when it comes to punctures and repairs this December.

If you’ve never experienced that deflating feeling that comes hand-in-glove with getting a puncture, then “welcome to South Africa”. Punctures are a way of life here, so it’s in all of our best interests to have a game plan for how to handle the situation in such

a way that “new tyres” don’t end up at the top of your letter to Santa. “How you handle a puncture and its repair can mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major hole in your pocket,” cautions Joe du Plooy, market-ing executive of Tiger Wheel & Tyre.

Getting it right means fitting your spare wheel and driving to the nearest reputable tyre dealer, who will remove the wheel, inspect the tyre inside and out and then repair the puncture, using both a plug or stem filler and a patch. Punctures that are repairable include those that occur in the tread pattern and

which aren’t bigger than 6mm. If your puncture is bigger than that or occurs on the sidewall or outside of the tread, it is irreparable and the tyre will have to be replaced.

“This counsel applies exclusively to normal tyres and not to run-flats, which are an entirely different matter,” adds Du Plooy.

Tiger Wheel & Tyre advises that you have all four tyres as well as your spare inspected and properly inflated before embarking on your annual December road tripl. (Issued: Tyger Wheel & Tyre)

In the spirit of a safe and carefree festive season, the best way to prevent on-road hassles like a flat tyre or even a traumatic accident is to take your vehicle for a quick safety check from an expert eye – such as that offered as a free service by countrywide tyre-fitment network Hi-Q.

Hi-Q communications manager Lize Hay-ward says motorists put their trust in Hi-Q stores, and the network’s complimentary safety check was one way of enhancing their vehicle safety. “Tyres may look fine, but they will be markedly safer, perform better and be more fuel efficient if they are optimally balanced and correctly inflated”.

Hayward explains that an under-inflated tyre deflects more energy, increasing rolling resistance and making the vehicle less fuel efficient. “Most importantly, though, it is plain

dangerous. If tyres are incorrectly inflated, the vehicle won’t accelerate, brake or steer properly. Safety devices like antilock brak-ing systems may not function properly – and driving an under-inflated or overloaded tyre at high speeds, especially on a hot summer day, increases the risk of a dangerous blow-out.

“I highly recommend that motorists take advantage of Hi-Q’s free offer and pop in to have their vehicles properly checked by one of Hi-Q’s trained technicians.

“They will perform what we call the 10-point safety check on your vehicle. This entails checking all four tyres plus the spare for tread depth and pressure, the front and rear shock absorbers, the brake pads, discs and fluid, as well as the battery, exhaust and wiper blades,” says Hayward. (Issued by Goodyear Tyre & Rubber Holdings)

The festive holiday season ranks among the most dangerous times of the year on South Africa’s roads, with a wide range of threats to navigate - from poor visibility, road works and insufficient road maintenance, through to drunk drivers and smash-and-grab hotspots.

But savvy travellers can find their way through the dangers safely with these hints and tips from Cellfind, a subsidiary of Blue Label Telecoms.

* Always travel with a first aid kit and consider taking a course about the basics of first aid. If there is an accident, a quick in-tervention by someone informed about the basics of first aid could mean the difference between life and death.

* Ensure that your cellphone battery is fully charged when you embark on a trip and even con-sider investing in a car charger.

* Have emergency contacts saved on your phone. This will assist paramedics or police, should they need to urgently get hold of your friends and family in the event of an accident. To make things even easier for emergency services, enter emergency contacts in your mobile phone address book under the name “ICE”, which stands for “In Case of Emergency”. You can list multiple emergency contacts as “ICE1”, “ICE2”.

* Research indicates that using a mobile phone while driving increases the risk of crashing by at least four times, so don’t do it. Rather wait until you have safely stopped or hand the phone to a passenger to take the call or send the text message. If the temptation to talk and drive is too hard to resist, install a hands-free car kit or buy an earpiece, so that you can talk safely on your

phone while you’re driving.* A cellphone-enabled panic

button can be a lifesaver in an emergency. One example of such a service is IDMe from ER24, which connects you to fast medical help via your cellphone in the event of an emergency. The service, which is powered by tech-nology from Cellfind, turns your cellphone into a panic button that immediately links you to ER24’s Contact Centre when you hit a speed dial number. Your location will be traced by means of trian-gulation, using cellular towers. An

operator will also phone you immediately to find out what assistance you need, so that the authori-ties and necessary help can be dispatched to your location. ER24 will save you valuable time by dispatching the closest and most appropriate emergency resource, providing life-saving treat-ment, and transporting you to the nearest, most suitable medical facility.

Hi-Q offering free safety check


Every year, thousands of motorists across South Africa set off on long, often exhausting journeys without adequate preparation of their vehicles or enough rest.

In their rush to leave, they people often skimp on checking and preparing their vehicles adequately for the journey. Not surprisingly, this is often reflected in problems experienced dur-ing the departing trip. Estimates suggest that fatigue is a factor in up to 30 % of fatal crashes and 15 % of serious injury crashes.

Driving, whether it’s a journey of 500 kilo-metres or it involves a long trek of over 1 000 kilometres, brings its own set of challenges: high volumes of traffic, long distances and the combination of day- and night time driving can test a driver’s limits.

Many drivers prefer to drive during the night-time to avoid driving in heavy traffic or during the heat of the day. Night-time driving takes its toll on the body, however, and this is all too often underestimated.

About 40% of accidents occur at night. This is not surprising, as night-time driving decreases

one’s driving abilities. Swaying in lanes, an in-ability to keep a constant speed and an increased number of steering corrections are the result.

Planning the journey ahead – including rest and stop-over points – helps break it down into realistic, manageable drives that get you to your destination safely and relaxed.

To help motorists plan for their journey, the following recom-mendations could be helpful:

• Begin your journey well rested. Have a good night’s sleep before you set off.

• Respect your biorhythm. Depart at a time when your body is used to being awake and active.

• Don’t drink any al-cohol before departure.

• Avoid any medica-tion that may make you

drowsy. • Avoid peak departure times.• Take regular breaks. Rest immediately when

you feel signs of fatigue. Go for a short walk. • Avoid heat build-up in the car. Research

has shown that high temperatures have the same effect as a blood alcohol level of 0.5. (Source: Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Holdings)

The completed R2,8 million Musina Nancefield community library.

The long-awaited community library in Musina Nancefield is finally complete. The total proj-ect value of the building is R2.8 million. The project is funded by the provincial department of sport, arts and culture.

The state-of-the-art library consists of a circulation area where thousands of books and other material will be kept. There is also an audio visual room, a cataloguing section, an informal reading area, children’s library activity room, a spacious reading area, ablution facilities, access control area and a kitchen. The building is also user friendly to the disabled.

Mayor Carol Phiri of the Musi-na Municipality says the building of the library is a demonstration

of the good working relation-ship between her municipality and the provincial government. “The municipality works closely with all spheres of government to deliver efficient services to all community members.”

She says libraries play a very important role in promoting the progress of knowledge. “Indi-viduals can’t afford to buy books on their own because the prices are very high. Even those who are better off can’t afford to buy all the books they require for their studies. Books are man's best friends. They give him company equally in times of happiness and in times of distress. They are one of the main sources of knowledge. The best place for easy access to books is a library.”

Phiri adds that some pupils find it very difficult to do their studies at their homes due to various rea-sons. “The library will be an asset to the learners who will be able to prepare for their examinations with ease. The ambience, peace-ful and scholarly atmosphere will help them to concentrate more on their school work. Libraries will always be there to indicate the presence of a well-read and educated society.”

Lydia Banda (14), a Grade 8 pupil of Musina High School, says: “I’m very happy that we will soon be able to use the li-brary at our doorstep. We thank all involved and there is no doubt that the library will continue to promote literacy in our area.”

New library for residents at NancefieldNo more dirty water for Mutavhe school

An excited principal, Mr Ntsoleni Netshituni (left), proudly holds a glass of clean water after the project was officially opened, while Absa´s Kenneth Mkize opens the tap for pupils to get water.

Pupils and staff of the Mu-tavhe Primary School at Mu-kula outside Thohoyandou received a water-purifying machine from Absa Bank last Friday.

The school, which has of 149 pupils and six teachers, has been using impure ground water.

Handing over the machine, Absa Limpopo head of sales and services Mr Kenneth Mkize said the bank had a social responsi-bility to see to it that it helped in the development of rural areas. "We feel that one way of developing rural areas is through education. There cannot be bet-ter education when there are no resources and when pupils still drink dirty water which can pose

a health hazard," said Mkize.He said they had also seen

classrooms with leaking roofs and paint peeling off at the school. He promised that the purifying machine was not a “once-off” and that they were going to assess and decide how they could help the school in future.

“This morning, we also do-nated a similar machine to another disadvantaged school in Senwabarwana. We are also going to help other schools in Limpopo," he said. He also promised that they would pres-ent the best pupils in all the various grades with certificates. "This is a way of saying thank you to the community. We do

business with their parents, and this is a way of ploughing back. We will continue doing so as our contribution to development," said Mkize.

An excited school principal, Mr Ntsoleni Netshituni, said the donation heralded a new era at the school. "We did not have clean water here and we always prayed that our children would not get sick. What happened here today is an answer to our prayers.”

Dakalo Munwai, a 12-year- old Grade 7 pupil, was the first to taste the clean water. "We are very excited. Our health is now guaranteed and we are no longer scared that we will contract diseases like cholera," she said.

Gospel album for Jeff Mahlathi (43)

Mayor Carol informs media corps about new developments in the Musina area

For the 43-year-old Jeff Mahlathi, the record-ing and release of his first gospel album is an achievement he will never forget.

Mahlathi had all along wanted to express his feelings and thoughts by singing spiritual praises after a snake-bite incident left him without his right foot. “I was only eight and the bite was so severe that I had to undergo a leg amputation,” he explains.

The singer calls the snake bite incident a “chal-lenge”. “After recovering from this challenge, I went through many kinds of tribulations and troubles,” says Mahlathi. He adds that, soon after, he responded to his calling to become a gospel preacher, and composed a song titled Jona because it seemed that all along he had been running away from God.

He speaks fondly about his music and the fact that his songs are accessible. He sings about issues which relate to daily life, such as boredom and how to defeat it by finding peace of mind through prayer and singing spiritual songs. “The release of my first album adds value to my life,” he says. “The album is a Christmas gift to all my friends and fans.”

Besides singing gospel, Mahlathi is involved in many community-building projects. He is chairper-son of the Vhembe Disability Forum and founder of the Bethesda Rehab for Alcohol and Drug Abuse. He is also a co-founder of the Pfuxanani Youth Centre at Elim.

“I also thank all people who have been involved in my music project, be it in the studio or through words of encouragement,” he says.

Mahlathi’s album comprises 10 songs, all sung in Xitsonga.

Media practioners from across the province filled the Musina Municipal Council Chamber to capacity during the annual mayoral press conference last weekend.

Mayor Carol Phiri enlightened the media about the achievements

and challenges facing her munici-pality during the event. She said it was very important for Musina Municipality to hold this annual event, which is meant to develop a good working relationship with the media,” because the media are the most powerful tools of

communication and have a con-structive role to play in society”.

Phiri added that media cover-age built the municipality’s pro-file in the community. “A raised profile through media exposure also strengthens the support we already have among our people,”

Singing man: Jeff Mahlathi.

she said. She also mentioned that the

occasion reflected the collective determination of the Musina Municipality to address the chal-lenges of creating jobs, reducing poverty, building infrastructure and growing the economy with energy .

“We acknowledge the backlog of services that our people are still trapped in. We also under-stand the poverty levels that most of our people still find themselves in. We also accept our limita-tions, due to financial constraints, to be able to meet all the demands for service delivery. We will not turn away from our challenges. We will confront them boldly and with hope. In harnessing all the resources at our disposal, we have to do more with less, although this will neither be easy nor uncontested,” she added

She shared with the media the following projects which the

municipality recently completed: Ext 5 Thosong Service Centre at a cost of R1,8m; Malale Com-munity Hall at a cost of R2,3m; renovation of the Nancefield Community Hall at a cost of R735 000; Madimbo Sports Cen-tre at a cost of R4,3m; construc-tion of EPWP streets in Ext 5 and 7 at a cost of R9,9m; construction of Ext 7 sports centre at a cost of R4,7m and the Nancefield com-munity library at a cost of R2,8m. She also cited the following projects, which the municipality is currently implementing and will be completed by 21 June 2013: Construction of the Malale Sports Centre at a cost of R6,2m, the construction of the Thusong Centre in Nancefield Ext 8 at a cost of R2m, the construction of the Madimbo Community Hall at a cost of R4,6m and Nancefield Ext 1 public park at a cost of R1,8m.

According to her, the follow-

ing projects will be completed by 31 March next year: Replacement of electrical transmission poles at a cost of R1m; construction of a new access road to Musina Ext 14 at a cost of R1,7m and the upgrading of power supply equipment at the electricity sta-tion at a cost of R1,4m.

“We will implement the fol-lowing projects during the 2013 / 2014 financial year: Construc-tion of a new market place at Madimbo at a cost of R3m, construction of new market place at Nancefield Ext 8 at a cost of R3m, construction of the Thusong Service Centre at Nancefield Ext 7 at a cost of R2,2m, Nancefield Ext 8 public park at a cost of R2,7m and the renovation of Ext 5 sports centre at a cost of R4,5m.”

The members of the media also visited the projects which the mayor named during the press conference.

Anhetico Properties

By Tshifhiwa MukwevhoBy Kaizer Nengovhela

Three indigent families receive houses R10 000 bail for taxi murder suspectRospa Trading donated three four-roomed houses to fami-lies who did not have roofs over their heads in Tshim-bupfe and Davhana villages on Thursday (22 November).

During a well-at tended occasion, the keys of three houses were handed over to beneficiaries by the mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, and the donor and managing director of Rospa Trading, Mr Mbangiseni Mutavhatsindi.

Cllr Mutavhatsindi expressed appreciation for the philan-thropic work done by the donor in building the three houses for the indigent families.

“Instead of phoning me and asking for illegal tenders, Mr

Mutavhatsindi always asks me to assist him in finding ways where he can plough back to the community,” said the mayor. “Then we identified three fami-lies who literally had no shelter and the project of building houses for them began.”

Mr Mbangiseni Mutavhatsin-di told the people that he had decided to give a gift of houses to the poorest of the poor in the Makhado Municipality because he was born in this area. “I am not giving them houses because I’ve got lot of money and I am flaunting it,” he said. “I always feel touched to help where help is needed.”

One of the beneficiaries is Ms Lizzy Baloyi (34), whose five-year-old son died of reti-

noblastoma cancer in August this year. Cllr Mutavhatsindi had attended the funeral and promised to build the family a house and help the family with households needs, such as food. “I thank God for bringing good people like Mr Mbangiseni Mu-tavhatsindi to give us houses,” said a touched Baloyi.

The other beneficiaries are Muofhe Mulaudzi and Petrus Munyai.

Mulaudzi stays with her three grandchildren who are the direct beneficiaries, in a sense, in Davhana village.

Speaking on behalf of Mu-laudzi, Mashudu Mulaudzi said: “Mr Mutavhatsindi showed us that true love and caring still exist in this world.”

Hundreds of angry demonstrators bayed for the blood of the suspect who appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court last Wednesday, in connection with the murder of Musina taxi boss Mr George Makwasela.

Mr Makwasela was shot and killed at his house in Musina on 13 November. It is alleged that he was shot from close range and that 16 cartridges were found next to his body.

Gabriel “Funky” Phoshoko (40) was granted R10 000 bail. The bail hearing took place amidst large public interest. The court was packed and members of public were queuing in the passages. Angry demonstrators outside the court vowed that they would not rest until justice prevailed.

As part of his bail conditions, Phoshoko was ordered to report to the Musina police station every morning. He was ordered not to threaten the wit-nesses and is not allowed to leave the Musina mag-isterial area without informing the police at Musina. The deceased’s father, Mr Ben Makwasela, said that they were totally disappointed by the way the state handled the bail application. “How can the court grant bail to that man facing such a serious charge, while our child is no more? Nobody is safe now, because the law is failing every community member,” he added.

Mr Eric Ramuthivheli of the Nancefield Taxi Association also mentioned that the court “has failed us, because we never thought that a man charged with murder, a serious offence, could be granted bail. We have been demonstrating outside the court to show the court that the suspect should not be granted bail. How many more must die of taxi violence before the State does something? The law has totally failed us and the granting of bail to the suspect sends a bad message to the public.”

The suspect will appear in court again on 14 December.

Photographed during the presentation of one of the houses are, from left to right, Cllrs Tebogo Mamarobela, Dzawele Ratshikuni, David Mutavhatsindi, Ms Mashudu Mulaudzi (beneficiary), Mr Mbangiseni Mutavhatsindi and Cllr Gideon Tshavhuyo.

Gogobole Bucs will fight for league points with Gogobole Home Defenders in a Limpopo Dairy league match at the Gogobole grounds tomorrow (Saturday).

The two teams met in a friend-ly match last month and Defend-ers destroyed Bucs 3-0. It is

expected to be a tough match, as Bucs want to prove a point to the Defenders. The other matches are Kutama Young Stars vs Holy Of Holies FC, Manavhela Black Aces vs Maebane Peace Mak-ers, Muduluni Young Chiefs vs Benny's Care Soccer Academy, Madombidzha Try Again vs

Mdombidzha Celtic, Makhitha Iyarunga vs Muraleni United Brothers, Maebane Young Eagles vs Ramantsha FC, Ramantsha Lotavha FC vs Ravele High-landers, Tshikodobo Barcelona vs Maebane Aces United, and Mulaeni Young Rebellions vs Ravele Blck Dragons.

Bucs to face Defenders in local derby

In their regional semifinal match for the Nedbank KO competition at the FNB Makwarela Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Tshakhuma RO United gave Khakhanwa United Stars a day to remember when they crushed them 4-1 to book a place in the final of the competition. Lufuno “CJ” Mugodi (2), Thivhulani Silima and Thivhulawi Silima scored for RO, while Lawrence Ramovha scored Khakhanwa’s solitary goal. In our photo, Fhatuwani Nemusumani of RO United (left) and Doctor Bila of United Stars fight to win the ball.

Pet owners who wish to board their pets (cats and dogs) at the SPCA’s Louis Trichardt kennels during the December holidays must do so in advance.

Bookings can only be made with Mrs Bea Reimer between 18:30 and 19:00 or with Law-rence Khodobo during the day between 08:00 and 16:00. No other bookings will be accepted.

“Please do not leave a voice message on any phone and pre-sume your booking has been accepted. It will not be accepted. We also ask that you do not leave a message with one of the kennel staff,” said Reimer.

All pets, cats and dogs, must be inocu-lated, de-wormed and bathed or dipped before coming into the kennels.

“We will need proof of yearly inoculations, as well as rabies inocu-lation when you bring your pet in,” said Re-imer.

Inoculation must take place 10 days before the pet is brought to the kennels. Reimer and Khodobo must also be made aware of pets on medication while these are at the kennels.

“If you intend leaving your pets at home during the holiday, please make adequate arrangements with a reliable person for them. Remember, there will be fireworks while you are away, so be prepared,” Reimer warned.

The boarding fees are R40 per dog per day and R30 per cat per day. Office hours at the kennels are Monday to Friday from 08:00 until 17:00 and Saturdays

from 08:00 until 13:00. The ken-nels are closed on Sundays and public holidays. People bring-ing their pets must do so within business hours. Pets left at the kennels over the weekend must be picked up on Monday, unless arrangements are made before the time.

The SPCA is also in need of books and magazines, as well as jumble (clothes, shoes, toys, kitchen utensils, ornaments and any other jumble) for the frequent jumble and book sales.

Goods can be dropped off at

the kennels along the Vondeling Road between 08:00 and 16:00. They also do recycling, so glass bottles, newspapers, magazines, anything plastic, tins or office paper are welcome.

For those wishing to make a donation, the local SPCA’s banking details are SPCA Louis Trichardt, Standard Bank, ac-count number 282374639 and branch code 052 549.

For more information, phone Bea at 082 424 5712, Lawrence at 082 965 5151 or the kennels at 015 516 0427.

Join the Carols by Candle light

101-year-old Gogo says people must avoid fatty foods

Retail training for youngsters

It is Christmas time again and what could be more appropriate than carols by candle light?

The whole community is invited to a “Carols by Candle light” evening at the Methodist Church on Sunday evening, 16 December. The church is situated at 79 Munnik Street in

Makhado (Louis Trichardt). The starting time is 18:30. Everyone is requested to bring a candle.

“Let us all join together,” invite the organisers.

For more information, rev. Rob-bie Novella can be contacted on 015 516 5165.

Gogo Nyadenga Munzhedzi Shavhani, one of the oldest people in the Shanzha area, has warned people against the eating of fatty foods and to resort to natural foods if they want to live a long and healthy life.

Shavhani, who does not eat meat,

responded during a function to hon-our her at Chief Shavhani’s royal residence at the weekend.

At the ripe old age of 101 years, Gogo Nyadenga, the last surviving of the four wives of the late Chief Sangagada Shavhani, can still do most of the things done by young people.

One hundred pupils from remote parts of Limpopo and Mpumalanga recently arrived at the Heronbridge Retreat Centre near Fourways, Johannesburg, to start their first training module, as part of a year-long retail learnership.

They are part of the Rural Youth Project, organised and executed by retail training provider Retail Relate and funded and accredited by the Wholesale and Retail SETA. The pu-pils will earn an NQF 3 qualification in retail, which will qualify and equip them to hold middle-management positions.

Most of the pupils come from deeply rural villages, and the journey marked the first time ever that they had travelled by luxury bus, let alone come to Johannesburg. “Together with academic training, this module focused on instilling life skills that will help our pupils to understand and function within the retail environ-ment,” said Ms Leigh Blochlinger, who heads up Retail Relate.

“They come from profoundly rural areas, where often even the most basic modern facilities are non-existent, so we needed to start by introduc-ing them to aspects of the corporate world that they will need to be able to navigate once they graduate and start looking for jobs.”

Blochlinger described how mod-ule one of the training also laid the foundation that will help the learners adjust to the social norms and practices of the retail sector. “There is a vast difference between standard corporate culture and the more informal way of life that these young people have grown up with,

and so we helped them to bridge the gap,” she said.

“These pupils are matriculants who possess the potential to excel academically and career wise, yet lack the funds to enroll in tertiary training which could help them secure successful futures. The Rural Youth Project is now their means to fulfilling their potential and we intend to equip them with everything they need to succeed, from academic training, to personal development to workplace experience,” she added.

On-the-job training is part of the course. The learners spend the inter-vening time between the theoretical training modules serving internships at stores belonging to The Foshchini Group (TFG). The stores are located in or near the scholars’ hometowns. “We were impressed with their progress by the end of module one and are confident that this group is going to excel during the rest of the training and in their future careers,” said Blochlinger.

Retail Relate’s training model has already proven successful. In August this year, 160 previously unemployed young people finished the Unem-ployed Youth Assistance Programme with NQF 5 qualifications in retail. The year-long internships served by these pupils while they were studying also helped to ensure that every one of them was offered a job after receiving their qualifications. The courses are aimed at underprivileged promising youngsters. It not only address unem-ployment, but also supply the retail industry with trained and experienced workers.

Nyadenga, whose two surviving daughters are pensioners, can still walk, she can still see and recognize people. According to the villagers, she can still till the land!

At the weekend, her family gathered to give thanks to God for having sustained her for so many years. Much to the delight and applause of the guests and the family, Nyadenga, without being aided, led other elderly people to the tent where the function to celebrate her long life was held.

Chief Neckson Shavhani, one of the coordinators of the function, said they thought as a family that it was only the grace of God that their gogo had lived solong. “Many of her age are long gone. We felt we should sit down together as a family and the community and thank God for having given her this long life.”

Speaking unaided, Gogo Nyadenga said people should follow a proper diet which must not include fat and also do some exercises. “During our time, we used to till the land with babies strapped on our backs and it was a form of exercise for us. We also used to eat natural foods which included nuts, vegetables and fruits, which added to our health.

“Avoid meat if you want to live long; it has many diseases which are not good for your health,” said the gogo.

One of the gogo’s daughters, Lizzy Phalali-Shavhani (74), said she was very proud of her mother.

“She taught us a lot of things and it is through her teachings that we have lived so long. We are adhering to what she taught us and we think that her exemplary life can be a lesson to others. Our children are no longer living life to the full because they just indulge in everything. They have no boundaries and they die young,” she said.

Gogo Nyadenga Shavhani led her children to a tent where a function to honour her was held.

Government

“Communicators play critical role in distribution of info”The provincial director of the Govern-ment Communication and Informa-tion System (GCIS), Mr Thanyani Ravhura, said communicators played a critical role in ensuring that the public have access to information on the programmes and plans of Govern-ment that are meant to empower them to attain a better life.

Ravhura was speaking to several government communicators during the provincial communicator’s forum meet-ing held at Musina on Friday.

He said that over the past years, gov-ernment had embarked on a new path of performance-outcome indicators intended to ensure that the government machinery became more responsive to the needs of its people.

“Most critically, this forum has to ensure that this objective is reached through optimally functioning commu-nications units across all municipalities, sector departments and the private sector. As part of improving the government communication system to become more responsive to the needs of our people, the Government Communication and Information System is implementing various new initiatives emanating from the review of the government-wide com-munication system.”

Ravhura said communication between

the citizens and the government was critical in ensuring the longevity and legitimacy of democracy and its insti-tutions. “A democratic developmental state is one that not only embodies the principles of electoral democracy, but equally ensures citizens’ participation in the development and governance processes. This forum provides strategic leadership and coordinates a communi-cation system to fulfil its core mandate of meeting the communication and information needs of government and the public. Furthermore, our mandate requires us to consistently ensure that the public has access to information on programmes, policies and opportunities created by government, so that they can actively participate in the transformation agenda for a better life for all.”

He added that he had also received positive reports that the forum was also expanding its focus to rural and poor communities who were marginalised and had limited or no access to infor-mation. “It is also important to note that this forum is excelling in ensuring that visible implementation of government’s priorities, as aligned to the performance outcome approach, is communicated on a regular basis.

I’m happy that this forum has also taken the initiative to provide communi-

cation training to ward committees. The initiative was well received, with ward committee members already adopting some of the techniques towards enhanced communication.”

The acting municipal manager of Musina Municipality, Mr. Shumani Samuel Razwiedani, said he had no doubt that the communicators forum would continue to improve communica-tion techniques, tools and methods based on scientific communications research to ensure that communication was targeted, responsive and relevant to the informa-tion needs of the people. “Government communication will continue to pursue a developmental agenda in ensuring that implementation of Government’s priorities has the intended outcome of impacting positively on the lives of all South Africans.”

Prominent people also gave impres-sive presentations during the event. This included Univen’s director of the Centre for Rural Development and Poverty Al-leviation, Prof Joseph Francis, the head of communications at Vhembe District Municipality, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, Ma-vhungu Makatu from ICASA, Richardt Nghonyama from the office of the Public Protector and the economic develop-ment and planning manager of Musina Municipality, Mr Nathi Tshiwanammbi.

Kutama’s youth ask for library and sport fieldsThe Makhado Municipality in-teracted with the communities of Kutama and Sinthumule areas on issues of service delivery. The event was held at Muduluni Community Hall, on Friday (23 November).

The public-participation imbizo was chaired by the mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi.

Representatives who attended the imbizo included traditional healers, business owners, artists, non-profit-organisation officials, local youth forums, farmers, Sanco leadership and the traditional councils.

The youth indicated that there was a strong need for a library in the Kutama area, and sports fields. “The municipality must consider creating a platform of internship for young graduates who might learn practical skills at the municipality,” said youth representative Mokgadi Ralidzhivha. “There is a lack of jobs in this area, particularly for the newly graduated youth, who might end up roaming the streets with a university qualification.” Projects for disabled

gloves, and suppliments for diagnosed patients. There is a need for food par-cels for people who are not receiving a support grant. We also do not have water, among many other things.”

The municipal officials answered the concerns raised during the imbizo. It was said that a meeting would be held to resolve the boiling problem between local business owners and the Somali business owners in the villages.

Furthermore, ward councillors were advised to start attending tradi-tional council meetings and commu-nity-related meetings, if they were not doing so yet. With regard to the problem of the lack of water in the area, the municipality promised that the Valdezia pipeline would be com-pleted by the end of 2013 and water might be made available somewhere around early 2014.

“If anyone encounters any problem which needs the attention of the mu-nicipality, try to approach your ward councillors first for assistance,” said Cllr Mutavhatsindi. The mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr

David Mutavhatsindi, speaks during the imbizo at Muduluni. people and people liv-

ing with HIV or those declared to be suffering from chronic diseases highlighted their plight of failing to run the proj-ects successfully, due to the lack of operational funds. These organisa-tions, such as Muthu Ndi Nnyi and Kutama Home-based Care, need municipal support finan-cially in order to reach their goals of caring for the patients attached to their projects.

“We are really strug-gling as a project that caters for chronic pa-tients, TB patients and those living with HIV,” said Kutama Home-based Care’s project manager, Ms Cecilia Rasimphi. “We have no kits such as disposable

Traditional leaders want more benefits

Mberegeni winner of Foundation of Learning contest

Traditional leaders in Vhembe are appealing to the govern-ment to help them with benefits like vehicle and cellphone al-lowances and better salaries.

This emerged during a con-sultative meeting between the House of Traditional Leaders in Vhembe and the Department of Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Tradi-tional Affairs (Coghsta), held at Mhinga village last Wednesday.

Instead of getting uniformed white Nissan double cab bakkies, traditional leaders said it would be good if they were given an op-

portunity to choose cars of their choice, like other public servants. Others suggested their salaries should be improved to meet the economic demands. Some com-plained about the denuding of land and soil erosion caused by people who sell sand. They also asked the government to provide rangers who will be able to make arrests in such cases.

Deputy Chairperson Eric Chauke said traditional lead-ers who were working should delegate an acting person who would be responsible for the af-fairs of traditional leadership in

such areas. He also encouraged traditional leaders to make sure that they appoint knowledgeable people to run initiation schools. This will avoid unnecessary deaths, he said.

Cllr Masindi Manyuha from Vhembe District Municipality said he was happy about the good working relationship between councilors and traditional leaders in Vhembe. He said this should improve for the benefit of com-munity. Manyuha also urged traditional leaders to be involved in development happening in their areas.

Mberegeni Primary School was the overall winner of the Soutpansberg Circuit Foundations for Learning Competition, which was recently held at Madabani Primary.

The guest speaker during the event, Mr Shaft Matumba, said it was up to an individual learner to make it or to fail in life. He said pu-pils should know what they wanted to be in life and should also take de-cisions that they would not regret later in life.

He encouraged learn-ers to make wise deci-sions in choosing their careers as a wrong decision could come back to haunt them later in life. He also urged the pupils to surround themselves with people who could make a dif-ference in their future. Matumba added that he was pleased with the commitment shown by pupils and teachers.

The coordinator of the contest, Ms Gladsy Magwala, said the main purpose of the competi-tion was to motivate pu-pils to learn hard. “We want to motivate learn-ers to stick to education and advice them not use drugs and alcohol,” she said. According to Magwala, they were

impressed by the commitment shown by the pupils.

Individual winners went home with

trophies and certificates. The competition was sponsored by Andani Architects and Surat Bookshop.

Two suspected poachers arrested

Employees urged to work professionally

The Kruger National Park’s Op-eration Rhino task group arrested two suspected rhino poachers on Saturday.

The arrests took place in the N’wanetsi section in the central part of the park. During the operation, two hunting rifles, ammunition and four fresh rhino horns were discovered.

According to a statement by San-Parks, the search for the poachers started after reports of shots being fired and the discovery of two fresh white rhino carcasses with their horns removed. During the operation, the joint forces came into contact with

a group of suspected poachers. Two were arrested, but three managed to escape under the cover of darkness back into Mozambique.

The head of public relations and communications of SanParks, Mr William Mabasa, commended the work done by the joint security forces. “We are very saddened by the number of rhinos that are being killed. At the same time, we are confident that we are going to turn the tide against rhino poachers. We congratulate the men and women who patrol the park and put their lives at risk to protect our heritage on a daily basis,” he added.

Employees from the Thohoyandou Correctional Services Centre were urged to do their work professionally.

“We want government employees to add value to the lives of the people they are serving. We also encourage employees to work harder and smarter and put value on team work,” said a motivational speaker, Apostle Maxwell Masakona.

Apostle Masakona, who is also the author of motivational books, was speaking on Friday at Muofhe Graceland near Thohoyandou during the Thohoyandou Management Excellence Awards. He advised employees to understand the work ethics, so that their work would satisfy their employer and the people they are serving.

The awards, the first of their kind, recognised all achievements from Thohoyandou’s correctional officials.

Acting Area Commissioner Kenneth Mthombeni said those who had excelled received certificates, vouchers and trophies during the awards function. Among the awards were certificates for staff mem-bers with 20 years of loyal service, best sportsman and sportswoman, good governance and Batho Pele certificates.

According to the acting area commissioner, the awards must serve to motivate those who could not make it this year and to understand that hard work pays off.

“It is our responsibility to rehabilitate offenders, but communities should know that the correction of the offenders is also a social responsibility. We want offenders to change their behaviour, so that they may be accepted by communities as soon as they are released from prisons,” said Dir Mthombeni.

Exercise is important for the elderly“The government will not be lenient towards anyone who ill-treats elderly people,” said Ms Mutheiwana Lethole, the operational manager at Tshilwavhusiku Health Centre, during a 4km fun walk for elderly people.

The event was held last Thursday.According to Lethole, the event was meant to

encourage elderly people to take good care of their lives through exercising. “We wanted to make a contribution to restoring the dignity of the residents. Engaging in exercise can also release stress and prevent other illnesses,” she said. Ac-cording to her, they are planning an activity day that will be held annually.

She said that it was good to see members of the community engaging in exercise for their health. She added that, although the health centre had done a lot of things, she was aware that a lot of challenges were still facing the community it was serving. “We remember and celebrate the sterling contribution that the senior citizens, who are the mothers and fathers of our nation, have made

and continue to make in our lives,” said Lethole.She said that elders possessed a wealth of

knowledge, experience and wisdom which they should share with the young generation. The elderly are the pillars of families and reservoirs of cultural values, which can help nurture the young people to become better persons.

The clinic had chosen the day because a lot of people in the area are suffering from chronic diseases. She advised people to eat indigenous food such as vegetables, dried vegetables and other traditional foods. Lethole urged people that they should always go for a check-up if ever they experience chronic and other problems.

She said that senior citizens deserved to be treated with respect, dignity and honour. One of the elderly, Mr Elias Mukhuba, appealed to those who are still at home to come and joined them in the exercises. He said that since he started visiting the centre, his health changed dramatically because he exercises and follows the medication given.

Elderly people walk the four km from Madabani to Ravele.

Ms Salome Mahopo is the sportswoman of the year. She received a trophy, certificate and voucher from 2 Ten Hotel. She is congratulated by Khosi Vho-Ratshalingwa Ramugondo (left), the acting area commissioner, Dir Kenneth Mthombeni, while Tshianeo Kutama (far right) looks on.

Public Safety receives a trophy for being well conversant with security policies at the centre.

No bail for gangThe eight men believed to be responsible for a spate of safe-bombings, as well as various other daring robberies in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), remain behind bars.

All eight of them appeared in the Louis Trich-ardt District Court again on Monday. They were arrested at a police road block at the beginning of October.

They are Mcabangweni Ngwenya (25), Moloto Tlou (38), Kabelo Hadebe (24), Mphasha Manyusa (32), Shumani Ludere (29), Sydney Ramovha (30), Elvis Moloto (36) and Robert Tsheko (30).

Three firearms, with their serial numbers filed off, as well as two vehicles, a Toyota Tazz and a Mazda Laser allegedly used during the crime spree, were recovered during the arrest. Police have also confirmed that ATM-breaking tools and explosives such as gels, detonators and battery packs were seized as evidence. The gang will remain in custody until their next court appearance, when they are expected to lodge a formal bail application. Their case has been postponed until 10 December.

Masungi celebrates with “graduates”Teachers must have peace of mind when they stand in front of the pupils in order to give the child a sound education, said an early child-hood development officer at the Hlanganani Central Circuit of the Department of Educa-tion, Ms Thandi Maswanganye.

Maswanganye was speaking during the annual year-end ceremony for the Grade Rs at Masungi Primary School, at Bungeni village, on Friday (23 November). The purpose of the ceremony was to encourage the youngsters to step onto the next level of education with strength and zeal, knowing that education is the umbrella under which hu-mankind seeks shelter, she said.

“A pupil is like a seed in the sower’s hand,” continued Mas-wanganye, address-ing parents, teachers and pupils. “It needs to be watered and seeds should also be removed to sustain its life.

Ms Agnes Maluleke represented the parents and acknowledged the teachers who continue giving pupils instrumental education, even in the elementary phase. “I can tell from the numeracy knowledge that my son Kunene has been displaying that the school is educating our children for a better future,” Ms Maluleke said.

The Limpopo Mirror continues to dominate in provincial media circles with its journalists scooping up prestigious awards. The latest addition to the list of winners is Elmon Tshikhudo, who received an award for his news reporting skills from Livhone FET College. Commonly known as My Hero, Tshikhudo began his journalism career in 2007 with the now-defunct Vhembe News. He was a freelance writer and photographer for various newspapers before he was offered a permanent position as a journalist for the Limpopo Mirror last year. Tshikhudo has so far received nine awards from different institutions. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Vhembe Media Association (formerly known as Vhembe Journalist Forum) of which he is still a loyal member.

Dynamos must win their NFD match against FC Cape Town on Sunday if they are serious about escaping relegation at the end of the season. They will battle it out at the Giyani Stadium.

A depressive mood is hanging over the Dynamos camp, after losing 0-5 to Sivutsa Stars at the same venue last Saturday. The pride of Giyani is currently lying at the bottom of the log, with only two points gained from the six matches they had played to date.

As a way to address the situ-ation, Dynamos have appointed the former coach of Bloemfon-tein Celtic and Platinum Stars, Mr Owen “Rubberdol” Da Gama, as the team’s head coach this week.

Da Gama replaces the former Black Leopards assistant coach, Mr Joel Masutha. It will be the first match for Da Gama, who is also affectionately known as Thiuriwfhi, on the team’s techni-cal bench.

In the other NFD matches that

will also be played on Sunday, Polokwane City will host Roses United at the Oscar Mphetha Stadium (Turfloop), while Wit-bank Spurs will have a date with Blackburn Rovers at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank.

The rest of the NFD fixtures are: Milano United vs African Warriors, Jomo Cosmos vs San-tos, FC AK vs Vasco da Gama, Thanda Royal Zulu vs Mpuma-langa Black Aces and United FC vs Sivutsa Stars.

Struggling Dynamos to face Cape Town

Mpho Ndou of Celtic controls the ball.Stanley Mukhuba of Celtic attacks the ball, with Mbengeni Rambuwani on his heels.

Madombidzha Arsenal were crowned the champions of the Tshimado tournament, when they beat Madombizha Celtic 2-0 at the Madombidzha grounds on Sunday.

Celtic should have opened their account in the 10th minute. Their tall striker, Mpho Ndou, dribbled past two Arsenal defenders in a row, but the opponent’s keeper, Rendani Maduwa saved the ball. Both teams attacked the goalposts

several times, but no goal was scored in the first half.

In the second half, Arsenal in-troduced Maanda Nengovhela for Mushoni Leaka. That proved to be a clever move. Arsenal opened the score line when Nengovhela received a pass from Ronewa Nwanamidwa, allowing him to score. Celtic continued to fight as an organised team, but failed to break the Arsenal wall.

Two players who were cau-

tioned with cards for rough tack-ling were Mulalo Tambani and Mangi Tambani.

Celtic replaced Hulisani Tshivhidzo and Doctor Rat-shibaya with Oscar Mafunisa and Stanley Mukhuba respectively later in the game. Rithsidze Ma-todzi dribbled past two defenders in a row and passed the ball to the unmarked Mbengeni Rambu-wani, who scored easily to make the score 2-0.

Can Leopards add to Amazulu’s woes?

Black Leopards´ top goal scorer, Rodney Ramagalela.

Black Leopards' top goal scorer, Rodney Ramagalela, is adamant that his side will con-tinue from where they left off when they beat University of Pretoria FC 2-1 at the Absa Tuks Stadium last Saturday.

Lidoda Duvha will host Amazulu in an Absa Premiership League fixture at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane next Wednesday evening, December 5.

Ramagalela, who scored a brace against Univer-sity of Pretoria, said that they wanted to win all their remaining first-round matches in order to start the second round from a comfortable zone. Apart from Amazulu, Leopards will play against Mamelodi Sundows (away) and Free State Stars (home) before completing their first round schedule. Amazulu are currently languishing at the bottom of the log.

The Leopards' slender midfielder, Tiyani Mabun-da, will watch the game from the grandstand. He sustained an injury in their game against Orlando Pirates, to whom they lost 0-4 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium last Wednesday. The match is scheduled to start at 19:30.

The rookies, Chippa United, will have it tough. They will host Orlando Pirates at the Athlone Sta-dium in Cape Town. Pirates are still fresh from a 2-0 victory over Bidvest Wits, while Chippa lost 2-3 to Ajax Cape Town at the Cape Town Stadium last Friday evening.

Bidvest Wits will play against University of Pre-toria at the Bidvest Stadium. Mamelodi Sundowns will undertake a journey to the Free State. They will play against Free State Stars at the Charles Mopedi Stadium.

Four matches will be played next Tuesday eve-ning, December 4. Kaizer Chiefs will host Ajax Cape Town at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polok-wane. The other fixtures are: Supersport United vs Bloemfontein Celtic, Lamontville Golden Arrows vs Moroka Swallows and Maritzburg United vs Platinum Stars.


Another defeat for Phungo All StarsPhungo All Stars con-tinued to donate league points when they lost their Safa second-di-vision match against Winnerspark 2-1 at the Eltivillas grounds on Saturday.

The captain of Stars, Dion Phiri, was the first player to be reprimanded with a yellow card. He was lucky to escape with yellow after tackling Oupa Seete from behind. As if they were leading, Stars played defensive football, but changed their pattern of play after they con-ceded a goal.

Tshepo Molala of Win-nerspark opened their ac-count in the 26th minute after a scramble within the box.The goal was a wake-up call to the play-ers of Stars. They started attacking strongly, threat-ening the defence of their opponents.

Unathi Hlakahlaka of Winnerspark was also cautioned with a card, following a late tackle on Humbulani Matsa. The visitors were still leading 1-0 at the end of the first half. The boys from Ses-hego introduced Thabede Mbongisehle at the ex-pense of Keshole Diase in the 57th minute. Stars then lost shape in the middle of the park and were se-verely punished for that. Tendy Muthugwana of Stars equalised, when he finished off a square pass from Segwari Mmazwi.

Winnerspark replaced Thabede Mbongisehle and Diase Keshole with Unathi Hlaka Hlaka and Oupa Seete respectively. Tshepo Molala completed his brace with a header after a square pass from Bontle Kekana.

Dynamos will not easily forget what happened to them last Saturday. They were brutally walloped 0-5 by Sivutsa Stars in their NFD league match at the Giyani Stadium.

The Stars from Mpumalanga scored their first goal in the fourth minute. The former Platinum Stars midfielder, Edward Williams, made no mistake, following an excellent pass from Rendani Ndou. Pressure continued to mount on the defence of Dynamos as the Stars enjoyed ball possession in the middle of the park.

A defender of Dynamos handled the ball within the box in the 16th minute. The referee, Mr Tsepo Maila, awarded a penalty to the visitors. Thabo “Jomo” Rakhale, who scored a hat trick in the game, scored from the penalty spot.

Realising that all the odd were against them, Dynamos introduced Wilford Mothapo for Phineas Let-soalo in the 28th minute. That did not

stop Sivutsa Stars from scoring their third goal before the end of the first half. Thabo Rakhale dribbled past two defenders in a row and showed the keeper the wrong way.

Stars replaced Rendani Ndou and Njabulo Zondi with Sherwin Smith and Velile Zitha early in the last half. What followed thereafter was one-way traffic, with the home side chasing the action. Thabo Rakhale completed his hat trick in the 67th minute. He blasted in a rocket after receiving a square pass from Linda Shiba.

Dynamos threatened to score three minutes later. Tsepo Mabitsela shot wide from close range after the Stars’ keeper, Sandile Ginindza, mis-handled the ball. The Stars abandoned their positions and relied mostly on counter-attacks. The pattern worked positively for them as they managed to score the fifth goal via Ayanda Ndlovu later in the game.

their account. Lufuno Mugodi won the ball from the left corner and beat two defenders before dish-ing a pre-cooked pass to the unmarked Thivhu-lawi Silima, who gave the ball the final touch. Realising that it would not be easy for them to match the opponents when it came to aerial balls, Academy continued to play their normal “carpet football” from behind.

Mulisa Luvhengo of United was the first player to be reprimanded with a card. He tackled Philip Moyo from behind and the referee, Mr Avhasei Simba, was lenient enough to let him go with yellow. United came close to scoring again in the 14th minute, but their centre forward, Lufuno “CJ” Mugodi, was unlucky as his volley went a little wide.

Academy effected the first change to their start-ing lineup by replacing Thompho Malifhe with Maduvha Matodzi. It was in the 29th minute when Academy found the much-awaited equalizer. Loyd Davhana scored with a long-range volley. The keeper of United, Khuthadzo Mukomafhedzi, palmed the ball back into the net in an attempt to clear.

The score was 1-1 at the end of the regulated time and the winner was determined through penalty shootout. United converted all their chances via Khathutshelo Mukomafhedzi, Ronny Matodzi, Lufuno Mugodi, Thivhulawi Silima and Asivhanzi Muthubi. Alton Kapinga, Loyd Davhana and Maduvha Matodzi scored for the Academy.

Tshakhuma RO United will meet the represen-tatives from the other four regions on a date and venue still to be announced to determine a team that will represent the province in the last-32 stage of the Nedbank Cup KO competition.

Rodney sinks AmatuksAfter suffering a shocking 0-4 defeat at the hands of Orlando Pirates at mid-week, Black Leopards rectified their mistakes and registered a 2-1 victory away from home against University of Pretoria at the Absa Tuks Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday afternoon.

The first 45 minutes was a half dominated by the home side, but despite all their ball possession, they were unable to find the back of the net and instead went to the half-time break a goal down. Both teams could not play their normal football, due to the wet pitch which made passing the ball along the surface slow.

Amatuks started the game brightly and had numerous shots at goal in the opening stages of the half, but they could not find the target. Bongani Zungu of Tuks found space just outside the box in the sixth minute, but his 22- yards shot sailed narrowly off the target.

Zungu was in the action again in the 11th minute, making his way into the box before shooting. This time around, his shot was on target, but the Leopards keeper, Azwinndini Maphaha, was up to the task with a fine save.

Maphaha was made to work again five minutes later when he denied Mame Niang what everyone thought was a sure goal.

In the 34th minute, Lidoda Duvha took the lead against the run of play. A poor clearance by Tuks saw the ball headed back into the box, catch-ing the home side’s defence napping.

Rodney Ramagalela intercepted the move and executed a clinical finish to make it 1-0 at half time.

A substitute, David Radebe, scored the Tuks’ equaliser in the 80th minute.

Just when it appeared that the points for the game would be shared, a penalty was awarded to Leopards deep into injury time. Ramagalela made no mistake from the penalty spot to seal the win for Leopards.
