Een van die beste baro­meters om die gesondheid van die plaaslike ekono­mie te bepaal naamlik, die betaling of wanbeta­ling van skoolgeld deur ouers, dui daarop dat die gewone man op straat in Polokwane kniediep in die skuld is deurdat die meeste skole in ‘n ondersoek aangedui het dat hul skuldvlakke nou ongekende krisisafme­tings aanneem.

Skole het aangedui dat die probleem nie net by wanbetaling van ouers lê

Ouers skuld skole mijoeneoor die departement se dienslewering oor die algemeen uitgespreek en gesê: “Die skool het nou nog nie al die handboeke ontvang nie. Verskeie handboeke van graad 8 tot 11 is nog nie afgelewer nie. Die graad 12-leerders het in Augustus eers hul Afrikaans huistaal handboeke ontvang. Sedert ‘n deel van die skool se dak in Augustus afgewaai het, het die departement nog geen aandag aan die pro bleem geskenk nie.” Armer sê dit is duidelik dat die swak ekonomie ook ‘n impak op ouers se verpligtinge het om skoolgeld te betaal.

Pietersburg Hoërskool (PHS) het verlede maand ‘n totaal van 114 ouers gehad wat nog nie vanjaar ‘n sent skoolgeld betaal het nie. Die totale bedrag saam met die skoolgeldver-ligtingkorting wat uitstaande is, is R2,7 mil-joen. “Ons het vanjaar slegs R112 000 van die departement ontvang vir skoolgeldverligting en het die afgelope vyf jaar ongeveer R17,5 miljoen se verligting toegestaan. Van die ouers hoef net ongeveer R300 per maand vir ‘n kind te betaal, maar hul doen dit nie eers nie,” sê ‘n ontstoke skoolhoof, Willie Schoeman en hamer daarop dat die skolewet se artikel 40 duidelik aandui dat ouers verplig word om skoolgeld te betaal en dat ‘n leerder nie onderrig geweier mag word nie.

“Ons hande is afgekap. Ouers se houding teenoor hul verpligtinge is verkeerd. Dit kos ongeveer R1,8 miljoen per maand net om die skool se deure oop te hou. Ons het sedert Oktober op verskeie maniere ouers ingelig en

Van bl 1nie, maar ook by die departement van onder-wys wat nie hul verpligtinge nakom om die korting van die skoolgeldverligtingsprogram wat aan ouers toegestaan word, ten volle te betaal nie. In die geval van Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé wat met R3 miljoen se uit-staande skoolgeld sit, is daar selfs sprake dat die Polokwane Munisipaliteit moontlik dienste na die skool gaan afsny weens agterstallige re-keninge. “Ons betaal maandeliks ons rekening, maar sit met ‘n agterstallige bedrag van byna R90 000. Die skool het verlede jaar R3 miljoen se uitstaande skoolgeld afgeskryf en die departement skuld ons ongeveer R1,8 miljoen vir skoolgeldverligting. Slegs R64 000 is van die departement ontvang,” sê waarnemende hoof, Cois Armer. Hy het sy ontevredenheid

herinner dat uitstaande skoolgeld betaalbaar is om verdere stappe te verhoed,” sê Schoeman. Hy voeg by dat die skool eties probeer wees om ouers grasie op die betalings te gee, maar sê dit sal moontlik gestaak word omdat ouers die geleentheid misbruik.

Waarnemende Noorderland-skoolhoof, Piet van Rensburg kon nie ‘n presiese bedrag verskaf nie, maar het gesê die skool sukkel ook met hoë bedrae uitstaande skoolgeld en dat administratiewe personeel tans besig is om aanmaningsbriewe uit te stuur.

Die probleem word ook by laerskole onder-vind en Pietersburg Laerskool (PLS)-hoof, Peet Bredenkamp sê sonder die korting van die depar-tement, skuld ouers steeds R536 000. Saam met die korting beloop uitstaande skoolgeld ongeveer R2,2 miljoen. “Dit het ‘n ongelooflike negatiewe invloed op skole. Die staat se versuim om te betaal, ontneem onderwysers van dit waarvoor hulle opgelei is omdat die fokus van onderrig afgeskaal moet word en daar meer op geldin-samelingsprojekte gekonsentreer moet word. Die swak ekonomie raak almal en werkloosheid styg wat tot gevolg het dat meer ouers nie jaarliks kan betaal nie,” sê Bredenkamp.

Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos se waarnemende hoof, Lizette Olivier sê ouers kry deesdae swaar. “Daar is nie meer geld nie, maar omdat ouers weet sy kind is skoolpligtig, sny hulle eer ste aan die betaling van skoolgeld omdat hulle ook bewus daarvan is dat die kind nie skool geweier mag word nie, al betaal hulle nie,” sê sy. Oosskool het R1,7 miljoen se uit-staande skoolgeld wat die korting van die de-partement uitsluit en ‘n voltydse pos is onlangs geskep wat net invorderings behartig.

Die situasie lyk moontlik anders by privaat-skole. Curro Heuwelkruin se operasionele hoof sê hulle het enkele ouers wat agterstallig is met skoolgeld en dat hul debiteure-afdeling gereeld uitstaande bedrae opvolg.

Die departement van onderwys-woordvo-erder, Paena Galane het nie op navrae gerea-geer nie. Hy het gister (Woensdag) gesê hy het die publikasie se navrae ontvang, maar het nog geen terugvoer van die skoolgeld-afdeling van die departement ontvang nie.

Some elderly and disabled people living at Bella Vista Old Age Home in Church Street have complained about the diffi-

cult circumstances that residents of the home have to deal with on a daily basis.

A resident who would prefer to remain anonymous alleged that prepaid electricity is sometimes not loaded on time and the residents living there are not allowed to use their own kettles.

Another gripe is that those that are healthy enough to earn an additional income are not allowed out of the premises to seek part-time work.

The resident claimed that the people living there are only allowed out of the home to do their personal shopping on Wednesday mornings.

Cases of verbal abuse by the manager of

the old age home against residents also take place on a daily basis, the source alleged. A former resident confirmed the allegations of poor treatment taking place at the old age home.

He lived at Bella Vista Old Age Home from the beginning of January until the end of October this year and referred to the facility as “Bella Vista Prison.”

Other than the nutritious three meals a day and a cup of coffee early in the morn-ings, and two cups of tea later in the day, the residents at the home are virtually trapped in the premises, he alleged. He confirmed the gates to the old age home are locked and residents cannot leave the premises except on Wednesday morning.

All of the 17 people living at the Bella Vista Old Age Home are beneficiaries of South Afri-can Social Security Agency grants and cannot earn any additional income, according to the owner of the old age home, Irma Joubert.

She denied that any ill-treatment and verbal abuse is taking place against the occupants of the home.

Joubert said the gates at the old age home are locked for the residents’ own safety. She denied that prepaid electricity is deliberately withheld and said the only electricity failure recently was when power supply problems occurred at the Polokwane Municipality. Jou-bert said the residents living at the home only pay R25.80 a day for accommodation and three healthy meals.

“Tea or coffee is served four times a day from an urn in the kitchen and the residents’ own kettles were removed to save electric-ity,” Joubert stated in a telephonic conversa-tion with Polokwane Observer yesterday (Wednesday). She added that the old age home is privately owned and also relies on donations from individuals and organisations from time to time for items of clothing and food.

Michelle Hulme is gelukkig dat sy en

haar vier kinders, almal onder die ou-derdom van ses jaar ongedeerd is na ‘n brand wat Saterdag omstreeks 08:00 al hul besittings in hul huurwoonstel in Sterpark vernietig het.

Haar man, Chris was reeds by die werk toe die voorval plaasgevind het.

Danie Oosthuizen, ‘n buurman sê hy het die oggend die tuin natgelei toe hy rook ruik en die oor-sprong gaan vasstel het.

“Ek het dadelik die eienaars, Hendrik en Sophia Erasmus langs my ingelig en brandblussers by die huis gaan haal. Michelle en haar kinders het intussen na bure oorkant die straat gehardloop. Almal in die omtrek het ingespring en die brand probeer blus wat vinnig versprei het, maar dit was tevergeefs.”

Die Erasmusse woon in hul huis langs hul drieslaap-kamerwoonstel wat hul verhuur en is dankbaar dat die brand nie na hul huis versprei het nie om-dat hul slaapkamer aan die woonstel grens.

“Al het ons soveel skade is ons dankbaar dat die brandmuur verhoed het dat die vlamme versprei.”

Die brand het skynbaar in die woonstel ontstaan nadat een van die Hulme-kinders met ‘n sigaretaansteker op ‘n bed gespeel het. Die brandweer-dienste was omtrent 30 minute nadat hulle die oproep ontvang het op die toneel, maar wou nie Saterdag kom-mentaar lewer oor hul reaksietyd nie en intussen was navrae oor kommentaar onsuksesvol.

Forensiese deskundiges van die versekeringsmaat-skappy het Dinsdag die toneel besoek om die omvang van die skade te bepaal.

Dr Larissa Odendaal sluit aan by dinamiese praktyk

FOtO: ELna EstErhuysEnDr Xander de Kock,

eienaar van Wolkberg Dierekliniek met Kat-

tekwaad, die praktyk-kat en sy assistent,

dr Larissa Odendaal wat haar hond, Pretzel

vashou.

Wolkberg Dierekliniek is ‘n gevestigde veteri-nêre praktyk in Polokwane wat sedert Septem-ber 1996 bestaan.

Veearts en eienaar, dr Xander de Kock, hanteer die behandeling van klein- en ekso-tiese diere soos ape, voëls en reptiele sowel as laparoskopiese geslagbepalings op voëls in die stad en onder meer in Louis Trichardt, Musina, Phalaborwa, Mogwadi, Vivo en Tzaneen.

Die jongste aanwins tot Wolkberg Diere-kliniek se dinamiese praktyk is dr Larissa Odendaal, ‘n veearts wat oor wye ervaring beskik en veral belangstel in die behandeling van perde en perdegedrag. Sy sien uit om met plaaslike perdeienaars saam te werk.

“My passie is om nie net na perde se fisiese welstand om te sien nie, maar juis hul emosio-nele welsyn voorop te stel omdat balans tussen die twee vir ‘n perderuiter sowel as perde-eienaar baie belangrik is,” sê sy.

Benewens haar gekombineerde BSc-graad in veterinêre biologie en BVSc-graad in veterinêre wetenskap wat sy in 2013 verwerf het, doen sy die afgelope agt jaar vakansiewerk by Blou-berg Dierekliniek in Louis Trichardt en het ook vroeër die jaar as plaas-

vervanger (locum) daar met klein- en eksotiese diere, perde, produksiediere en wild gewerk.

Vanaf Maart tot Junie vanjaar het sy ‘n perde-internskapkursus by Fourways Equine Clinic onder mediese- en chirurgiese perdespe-sialiste gedoen waar sy volle verantwoorde-likheid vir die hospitaal, pasiënte en hul behandeling geneem het.

“My belangstelling en ondervinding in my werk met perde en hul medikasie is vir my van groot waarde in Limpopo waar daar toenemend meer perde-entoesiaste is. ‘n Skuif Polokwane toe was dus vanselfsprekend,” sê Odendaal wat self ‘n perdeteler en -ruiter is en kompeterend aan ruitersport deelgeneem het.

Benewens die twee veeartse beskik Wolk-berg Dierekliniek oor twee ontvangsdames, Irene Duvenhage en Nelia Tiersma wat elke pasiënt en diere-eienaar vriendelik hanteer sowel as die dienste van ‘n veterinêre verpleeg-ster, Elandi Dokter.

>> Report a shocker considering department being under admin-istration during review period>> Unauthorised expenditure decreased from R175 million in 2011/2012 to R16 million in 2013/14YOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

An Auditor-General’s (AG) management report of close to 600 pages shedding light on questionable business tactics

demonstrated by the Department of Education during the 2013/14 financial year comes as a shocker considering that the department was under administration during the review period.

It was reliably learnt that the Department of Education apparently received the worst management report outcome of all provincial government departments. The document is not generally for public consumption. After a month-long battle to obtain a copy of the report of 597 pages Democratic Alliance (DA) Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle managed to gain access to it for oversight purposes through a Promotion of Access to Information Act (Paia) application last week.

Expressing shock at the contents thereof during an interview with Polokwane Observ-er, Smalle said of all the documents he had ever been compelled to work through the contents of the report were the most startling ever.

“This is bigger than anything else the department ever had to deal with.” Having called on a team of party representatives both in the Cape and Limpopo to analyse the report, a decision would be taken on possible action against relevant officials, he stated. The big-gest problems highlighted in the report could be divided into categories, being leadership within the institution as well as implementation of systems and holding individuals responsible, financial mismanagement and non-compliance with legislation, he said.

The document is based on details re-flected in audited financial transactions and human resources practices and preceded this year’s final Auditor-General’s report on departmental issues. Based on the figures contained in the document the immediate deduction is one of lacking control meas-ures and poor governance during the period under review. It is laced with traces of al-leged maladministration of the departmental budget, which should pose a concern to any taxpayer. Some recommendations were ac-companied by a response from management, but in many instances simply no feedback was forthcoming.

Among the human resource-related matters

that were most alarming was an extract based on an inspection of an attendance register at a primary school in Capricorn District where the principal (identified in the document) had not reported for duty from 1 April 2013 to 31 March this year after being seconded to a un-ion as provincial secretary but being compen-sated for departmental duties by the Depart-ment of Education to the tune of almost half a million Rand in basic salary and allowance for the year 2014. No evidence could be obtained on the union paying the amount due to the department while the management response remained outstanding, it was noted. The same seemingly counted for teachers in the Vhembe and Sekhukhune Districts apparently not reporting for duty for a year but still being remunerated, resulting in possible overpay-ment of employee costs.

The report consists of seemingly never-end-ing examples of notes on alleged atrocities in the department’s administrative system. These include employees allegedly receiving schools money in their personal bank accounts, Nation-al Schools Nutrition Programme (NSNP) service providers failing to deliver, failure to adhere to the textbook procurement plan, lack of a contract management unit to monitor contract performance, no perceived action against sup-pliers failing to deliver on quotations, alleged bid rigging, procurement using invalid B-BBEE certificates, the use of prohibited suppliers, employees doing business without approval, meals allegedly not provided for all designated learners, potentially expired food items alleg-edly delivered to schools and information not provided for audit purposes.

When asked for comment on the overall report, Department of Education spokesperson Paena Galane said they acknowledged the statement by the AG and that the depart-ment would work in ensuring all issues raised were attended to and that it got a clean bill of health with regards to those issues.

In the meantime bad news with regards to the status of the Limpopo government’s finances does not end there. It was learnt that during an AG presentation to the Legislature on Tuesday it was evident that the province did not fare well in terms of audit outcomes as at 31 August 2014 compared to the rest of the country.

From the presentation made available to Polokwane Observer it was evident that 5 of the 23 provincial departments and para-statals - Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, Limpopo Economic Development Agency, Health, Public Works and Limpopo Tourism Agency - received improved outcomes. The audit results of a further 16 remained unchanged, including the Department of Education that counted among those with adverse opinions or disclaimers. The Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism as well as Gateway Airports Authority Limited regressed.

According to AG South Africa spokesperson Africa Boso consolidated reports would be released on 26 November.

RC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on 23 October decided to decline to prosecute Polokwane Municipal Manager

Connie Mametja on charges of fraud relating to the multimillion Rand Motor City development.

Polokwane Police Spokesperson Lesiba Ramoshaba confirmed the DPP’s decision based on the lack of reasonable prospects for a successful prosecution.

“The municipality welcomes the decision by the DPP. We were informed by the Police that the case was fully investigated by them before the docket was sent to the DPP for a deci-sion,” municipal Communication and Marketing Manager Tidimalo Chuene said.

The investigation stems from a case of fraud opened at the Polokwane Police Station on 23 May by one of the bidders and objectors of the Motor City development, Glen Matsaung. It was alleged that Mametja furnished a docu-ment signed on 26 October 2012 whilst the application by the bid winning company, PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd, for this document was only signed five days later. The resolution for application for the township establishment was allegedly authorised by the directors of PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd on 31 October 2012.

Fraud case against muni manager dismissed

Limpopo intensifies war against crime and corruption RC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

Law enforcement agencies in Limpopo are expected to meet during a Provincial Safety and Security Summit overseen by the De-partment of Transport, Safety, Security and Liaison and scheduled for today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday).

Approximately 600 delegates are expected to attend the summit at Protea Hotel Ranch Resort where Premier Stan Mathabatha is expected to deliver the keynote address with Minister of Police Nathi Hhleko, National Deputy Police Commissioner Khekla Sitole and various other safety and policing experts also on the programme.

Departmental Spokesperson on Traffic in the department, Kagiso Mootane said the main purpose of the summit is to review the Provincial Crime Prevention Strategy (PCPS) which was adopted in the 2005/6 financial year. “The summit will among others achieve the sharpening of the province’s strategy to deal with continuous and changing crime trends and patterns; strategising around trans-border and organised crimes; reflecting on rural safety, social fabric crimes, improvement of the functioning of the criminal justice system and community policing; incorporating the vision of the National Development Plan in onto the (PCPS); and incorporating youth crime prevention pillar into the PCPS,” Mootane said.

business infrastructure; lack of capital investment in innovative business models and opportunities, as well as the competing priorities between the social and business infrastructure needs.

The participants included the Departments of Trade and Industry (dti), Office of the Premier, Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, Provincial Treasury as well as munici-palities.

“The workshop focused on the alignment of Limpopo’s economic activity with national industrial economic plans but more specifically on the resus-citating and refurbishment of industrial parks and supporting infrastructure to enable and fast track industrialisation. Exploration and focus on industrial activity clustering within the industrial parks to pro-mote labour intensive sectors and ensure sharing,” elaborated Mohlele.

He also mentioned that the other key focus are-as were the promotion of industrialisation through the analysis and addressing of sector and sub sector competiveness and export potential of busi-nesses located in and around the industrial parks. “The diversification of revenue drives and streams by looking beyond traditional, resource based commodities to include tradable services, the mar-keting and promotion of dti incentives such as the critical infrastructure, manufacturing and feasibility studies support on bankable business cases and a need for sound corporate governance, manage-ment and monitoring systems for the industrial parks,” Mohlele said.

Reflecting on the workshop Leda Managing Director, Lesley Mosia said they have a responsibil-ity to rejuvenate the legacy of infrastructure and industrial parks to support the local economic activity and access to develop the industrial parks in the new growth points in the province and the planned Special Economic Zone.

“Over and above, there is commitment by Leda to continue discharging its dual mandate the non financial, which is geared at providing services such as business support skills development pursued on a commercial basis. Overall, it is Leda’s intention and commitment to continuously engage with state owned enterprises, the three tiers of government, development finance institutions and related stake-holders to remodel and redefine industrialisation into the future,” Masia said.

The Limpopo Economic Development Agency (Leda) recently held an industrial park refurbishment and development strategic

workshop. The workshop was a continuation of ongoing research undertaken by the Lim-popo Provincial Admistration in the review, planning, capacitating and optimisation of existing and new industrial parks across the economic sectors.

Marketing and Communications Manager at Leda, Nthikeng Mohlele said the multi stakeholder consultative workshop was held in response to the critical challenges that face industrial parks in the province. He mentioned factors such as old and unsuitable

“Ons is baie trots dat ons kon help om die vermeende rowers vas te trek. Ons het nie aan die gevare gedink nie en net instinktief gereageer. Eers toe hulle ‘n mes uitpluk en ons dreig nadat ons hulle gekonfronteer het, het ons besef dat hulle gevaarlik is.”

So sê een van Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé se graad 11-leerders, wat verkies om anoniem te bly, nadat hy en ‘n vriend verlede Donderdag drie gewapende rampokkers nagejaag en twee vasgetrek het nadat hulle ‘n ander leerder van haar selfoon wou beroof.

“Die skool het pas verdaag en ek en ‘n vriend het oor Potgieterlaan in die rigting van die dam oorkant die skool gestap. Ons het verby drie jong verdagte persone geloop en hulle agterna gekyk. Die oomblik toe ons ons rûe draai het ons gehoor hulle konfronteer ‘n meisie en eis haar selfoon, sê die leerder en vertel dat hy en sy vriend nie twee keer gedink het om die drie mans agterna te snel nie.

Munisipale werkers in die park het ook onraad vermoed en toe die slagoffer vir hulle skreeu wat gebeur het, is hulle ook agterna. Selfs ‘n motoris het hand bygesit deur een booswig met sy voertuig af te keer. “Ons het daarin geslaag om twee van die rowers in Andrewstraat vas te trek waarna die Gemeen-skapspolisiëringsforum (GPF) opgedaag het,” sê hy.

‘n Lid van die GPF sê die twee is geboei en die polisie is ontbied. Die derde verdagte het weggekom.

Polokwane polisiewoordvoerder, Lesiba Ramoshaba sê ‘n 19- en 21-jarige man van Seshego het reeds Maandag in die Polokwane Landdroshof op aanklagte van poging tot roof verskyn. “Ons het nog nie die lêer van die hof terug ontvang nie en is nie seker wat in die hof gebeur het nie,” het Ramoshaba gister (Woensdag) gesê. Polisie is steeds op soek na die derde persoon.

Polokwane Municipality has to date failed to take action against officials responsible for paying more than R1,2 million for a

failed car wash project abandoned in 2011. The car wash was intended to provide accom-modation for the car washers that congested pavements and parking areas near the taxi parking in Dahl Street.

Vuledzanie Mashie, DA councillor in the municipality, said in a media statement that in 2008/09, the municipality allocated R500 000 for the construction of the facility but the mu-nicipality ended up paying R1,2 million to the consulting engineer and the service provider that vanished without completing the facility.

“The car wash was supposed to consist of a steel structure, corrugated iron shelter, storage facility, water storage tank, recycling plant, wash bays, paved areas as well as a palisade fence but the service provider used low quality materials and vanished. The municipality also purchased equipment as well as protective clothing but they are nowhere to be found.

“The facility was supposed to have been opened in 2011 and the community safety and security department of the municipality was

supposed to guard the facility until it has been officially opened but that did not happen. Now the poorly built facility is being turned into a play ground where illegal prostitution and gambling is taking place on a daily basis. The palisade fence and other properties have been vandalised and it is now alleged that the municipality wants to outsource the facility,” Mashie said.

The DA’s main concern is that the mu-nicipality plans to pump more money into a project which is already poorly monitored and implemented. “The DA wants the municipality to initiate plans on how to recoup the tax pay-ers’ money from the service provider and en-sure that the facility is completed and opened officially for public usage,” the statement read.

According to Mashie, the DA has already requested the Public Protector to probe the municipality for inflating prices on the con-struction of the car wash which was never opened officially.

When Polokwane Observer visited the car wash on the corner of Thabo Mbeki and Dahl Streets recently, most of the wash bays were occupied by parked taxis and only two vehicles were being washed.

At the time of going to press, all attempts to source comment from the municipality proved futile.

Government has put in place sufficient legislative and institutional mechanisms to promote and advance the rights and

interests of persons living with disability. This was the assurance of Social Development MEC, Joyce Mashamba when she addressed the launch of Provincial Disability Month in Nirvana Hall last Thursday. Officials of the Office of

Government to prioritise disabled persons

that many disabled persons are skilled and educated but they are not employed by the government. “Most disabled persons who are hired by government are not always consid-ered for the positions they are qualified for. That is a serious concern to us,” he said.

Maria Mashala from Ga-Mashashane, also dependent on a wheelchair, raised the matter of government schools for the disabled who do not have the necessary materials or staff to do so. “For example there are schools for blind learners who do not have Braille material and the educators who are deployed at the schools are not qualified to teach disabled persons. We feel like we are not being taken serious by the department,” she said.

Mashamba replied to the grievances by say-ing that the department will pay particular and focused attention to the issues that continue to affect citizens living with disability.

“We have established the Human Rights Com-mission to promote respect for and observance and protection of human rights for everyone, without fear of favour. This includes the protec-tion and advancement of the rights of the people living with disabilities,” the MEC said.

Mashamba also stated that, in the spirit of ‘Nothing about us without us’ - a motto for disabled persons, Government is committed to working with people living with disabilities and their representative organisations, to free their potential and to allow them to make a meaningful contribution to the socio economic life of the nation.

“We are also inspired by the commitment of President Jacob Zuma in advancing the cause for total empowerment of people living with disabilities. The make-up of the President is a living testimony of the President’s commit-ment to the cause of the disabled community,” Mashamba said.

the Premier and the Human Rights Com-mission were also in attendance.

During the open floor session of the event several speakers stated that persons living with disability frequently encounter various physical and other challenges in the daily course of life. They accused govern-ment of not doing enough to accom-modate them at their workplace and claim that some depart-ments and municipal offices are not user friendly for persons in wheelchairs.

Among them were wheelchair bound Solomon Monyaku from Moletjie who told Polokwane Observer afterwards

The Waterberg District team of the Department of Transport, Safety, Security and Liaison attained excellent results at the recent Centre for Public Service Innovation (CPSI) Awards where both the Innovative Service De-livery Institution of the Year and the Public Service Innovator of the Year awards were bestowed on them.

These awards aim to rec-ognise individuals and teams that continue to find innovative solutions in the public sector, and are inspirations to improve service delivery through innova-tion. The team brought home trophies and prize money to the value of R10 000 and R60 000.

The Modimolle Mechani-cal Workshop team won the category for Innovative Service

Delivery Institutions with their Diesel JoJo Tanks project. The project involves using JoJo tanks mounted on bakkies to transport diesel to plants and machinery located far from refuelling points. The initiative has reduced running costs with more than R2 million.

Mafenya Lediga, Spokesper-son for the department said: “We congratulate Team Water-berg for their achievements and continuous innovation and we hope other districts will emulate this worthy example.”

According to Lediga the CPSI Awards are divided into In-novative Partnerships in Service Delivery, Innovative Use of In-formation and Communications Technology (ICT) for Effective Service Delivery, Innovative Service Delivery Institutions and Innovative Enhancements of In-ternal Systems of Government.

>> “Municipality will make services available”>> Smart City Concept is the vehicle towards developmentBARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

Polokwane Municipal Manager Constance Mametja met with stakeholders on Tuesday during a breakfast session at

the new Peter Mokaba Stadium to discuss and exchange views on the Smart City Concept.

Acting Executive Mayor Lois Hardy, in open-ing the session said the municipality remains committed to provide infrastructure in part-nership with the business sector. Hardy also stressed that the municipality can not deliver on its mandate if residents and businesses do not pay their dues to the city.

Mametja alluded to the Economic Growth and Development Implementation Plan that informs Vision 2030 of which the Smart City Concept is the driver, and echoed Hardy by saying that the municipality will make services

available to create an environment that is con-ducive to development and growth. The Smart City Concept comprises of Smart Governance; Smart Living; Smart People; Smart Environ-ment; Smart Mobility and Smart Economy.

“Polokwane’s population was 628 999 in 2011 and at a growth rate of 2,15%, it is now 656 387. Our growth rate is higher than that of the entire province and it is estimated that by 2050 Polokwane will house 20% of the entire population of Limpopo,” Mametja said. It is also interesting to note that 11% of the population is between the age of 20 and 24 years and that 30% of the population is younger than 15 years of age. It is therefore of paramount importance that proper and innovative planning for the next generation be put in place timeously.

“The Smart City Concept encompasses a variety of new and innovative technologically driven solutions to global mega trends affect-ing the way a city is governed and planned for and includes, inter alia Enhancing of wire-less and broadband technology, New ways of conducting business, Integrated transportation services, Service delivery quality control, Im-plementation of alternative energy technology and Electronic and interactive town planning

and GPS-systems,” Mametja explained.According to the Economic Growth and

Development Implementation Plan, 48% of the people in the city reside in homes that are owned and paid off, which is slightly lower than the provincial average of 53%. Formal dwell-ings increased from 68,5% to 77,6% over the past ten years and it is a sign that housing delivery projects were successful. The avail-ability of housing will promote migration to the urban and semi-urban areas and will intensify the demand for infrastructure such as roads and other public amenities.

Mametja concluded by inviting all role play-ers to engage with the municipality when they plan for the future and to make use of the ex-pertise and services offered by the authorities.

The Association for Persons with Disability (APD) in Limpopo hosts its annual Nappy Run until 3 December and appeals to the public and businesspersons to support the effort and make a difference in the lives of disabled persons.

Brian Tigere, Social Worker and Coordina-tor of the project explained that the aim is to collect and deliver disposable nappies to disabled persons, including babies.

“Nappies can be delivered at our offices

at Centenary House or we will collect them. Cash contributions are also welcome and we will then buy the nappies for the project. Polokwane Rotary Club 100 has already pledged to provide money to buy 10 000 nappies and our target for this year is 25 000 nappies. Last year the project collected 7 200 nappies,” Tigere said.

According to Tigere many underprivileged persons spend up to 70% of their monthly social grants on nappies, leaving them with very little money for food and other commit-ments. “We will also deliver the nappies to people in the rural areas,” he concluded.

Vermeende hamermonster in twee dae verhoorTeen druktyd gister (Woensdag) sou die vermeende hamermon-ster, David Mamvura vir die tweede dag van sy verhoor in die Polokwane Landdroshof verskyn het.

Mamvura wat na bewering vir langer as twee jaar inwoners van die stad geteister het en vermoedelik met nege sake van huisbraak en verkragting in die stad verbind kan word, is aan die einde van Augustus in die mid-destad in hegtenis geneem. Vol-gens die polisie word Mamvura daarvan verdink dat hy ongeveer twee jaar gelede ‘n egpaar in Eduanpark aangeval en die man erg met ‘n hamer aangerand het. Die vrou is vermoedelik verkrag.Twee maande later het hy vermoedelik ‘n 22-jarige vrou vasgebind en verkrag en glo met ‘n televisie, skootrekenaar en selfoon gevlug.

Aanvallers op boer steeds soek ‘n Onbekende aantal aanvallers wat na bewering twee weke gelede ‘n boer van Mooketsi in die Tzaneen-omgewing in sy huis met ‘n panga aangeval en beseer het, is steeds soek.

Tzaneen polisiewoordvoerder, Moatshe Ngoepe het Dinsdag gesê nog geen arrestasies is gemaak nie.

“Die 70-jarige man het glo ernstige kopbeserings opgedoen en is na ‘n hospitaal in Tzaneen vervoer waar hy behandel en ontslaan is,” het provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Ronel Otto vroeër gesê. Sy sê die boer het omstreeks 01:00 voetstappe in die huis gehoor en ondersoek in-gestel waarna hy in die voorhuis oorval en glo met ‘n panga bygekom is.

“Sy vrou het wakker geword van die geraas in die huis en besef daar is moeilikheid. Sy het ‘n paar skote met ‘n vuurwapen afgevuur waarna die aanvallers op vlug geslaan het.”

Double murder in MoletjiTwo people were allegedly mur-dered in the Moletji area over the weekend.

The bodies of Thelma Ranoto (29) and Zacharia Modiba (59) were found on Saturday at different places within the Moletji area. Police Spokesper-son Mothemane Malefo said Ranoto was allegedly shot. “Her husband, Izak Maimela, was arrested the same day and Police also confiscated his firearm,” he said. Maimela appeared in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.

He was denied bail and remains in custody until his next appearance on 20 November.

No arrest was made in the case of the alleged murder of Modiba. “We are indeed follow-ing up hot leads and expect to make some arrests soon,” Malefo said.

Matrics up for exam fraudTwo learners from Rev MP Malatjie Secondary School in Seshego were released on warn-ing to appear in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court again on 9 January after they were arrested in connection with exam fraud on Friday.

The two learners, whose names could not be provided by Police Spokesperson Mothemane Malefo, both face charges of

fraud. “The Police were informed by exam invigilators after they went through the candidate’ list and realised that a female who was supposed to sit for a Physi-cal Science paper was instead replaced by a male,” Mothemane said.

Vermeende vee­diefstalsindikaat word verhoorDie vermeende baasbrein agter ‘n veediefstalsindikaat, Tinus Groenewald wat van meer as R2 miljoen se veediefstal in Augustus verlede jaar verdink word, se verhoor het Maandag in die Mokopane Streekshof begin en sou na verwagting gister (Woensdag) afgehandel word.

Minstens twee boere, Willem Barnard en Neels Smit onder-skeidelik van plase net buite Mokopane en Modimolle het in die saak getuig. Vyf en twintig brahmaan-stoetkoeie is glo by Barnard gesteel en 20 van dieselfde ras is op Smit se plaas gesteel.

Groenewald, Andries Chauke en Titus Chauke staan tereg op 20 klagte van veediefstal. Hulle het in Julie en Augustus verlede jaar glo beeste en bokke op plase in Noordwes en Limpopo gesteel. Foto‘s van kringtele-visiekameras by tolhekke is van die vragmotor wat vermoedelik deur Groenewald tydens die diefstal gebruik is, geneem en versprei. Groenewald het nie lank daarna by die Boksburg polisiestasie aangemeld en hy en die Chaukes is sedertdien in aanhouding. ‘n Vierde persoon, Charles Marais se saak is van die ander geskei en dit is onduidelik wanneer sy verhoor sal begin.

Six suspected rhino poachers arrestedPolice made a major break-through when they arrested six suspected rhino poachers in Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa on Saturday.

It is not clear whether the six suspects have appeared in court yet. Provincial Po-lice Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi said Police in Hoed-spruit on Friday tracked the movements of three suspects who were earlier spotted in the Kruger National Park (KNP). An all night search ensued and the suspects were spotted early Saturday morning getting into a vehicle just outside Lelekani Village. “Police, who by then had mobilised other units for assistance, managed to inter-cept the vehicle and arrested three suspects including the driver.

One of the suspects man-aged to escape and an intense search for him was conducted,” Mulaudzi said. A 375 rifle with ten rounds of ammunition and an axe were confiscated.

In another incident in Phalaborwa, Police received information of two suspected rhino poachers who were al-legedly picked up by a vehicle after been seen coming out from KNP. “With the help from Mpumalanga Police they man-aged to track the vehicle and the two men including the driver were arrested at Acorn-hoek,” he said.

Police seized an unlicensed 303 hunting rifle with 10 rounds of ammunition and an axe.

“In both cases Police did not find any rhino horns, however, investigations are underway to ascertain if any rhinos were poached in KNP,” Mulaudzi said.

Limpopo recorded 18 deaths from different road accidents during the first nine days of November.

Three of the victims were pedestrians, eleven passengers and four drivers.

In an accident that occurred in Lebowakgomo five persons were burnt beyond recognition when a sedan col-lided with a planned patient transport vehicle of the Department of Health. A sixth person died in hospital later.

Mafenya Lediga, Spokesperson for the Department of Transport, Safety,

Security and Liaison stated that most accidents are caused by driver fatigue, speeding, drunken driving, head-on collisions as result of unsafe overtaking as well as pedestrian jaywalking. “The Department is also concerned about the increase in the number of pedestrian fatalities. There will be zero tolerance of any traffic violations on all our roads as we are about to enter into the Fes-tive Season. To curtail road deaths on our roads this Festive Season, the

department under the leadership of MEC Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana, will implement a focused and intensified campaign. The campaign will be cen-tered on an intensive law enforce-ment plan that will mobilise over 1 000 traffic officers and road safety officials,” Lediga said.

As Miss Limpopo 2014 Kholofelo Lekgan-yane’s reign nears its end she continues full steam on her journey of reaching out

to various people in the community assuring their chances of a better live.

Her mission to change people’s lives recently saw her assisting Emily Seimela (54) from Extension 78 whose house was destroyed in a recent fire.

It is alleged that her son accidentally set her house alight leaving her shack destroyed and all her belongings lost. Lekganyane and a friend visited Meimela and surprised her with household necessities such as blankets, cutlery, cookware as well as food. Lekgan-

yane also managed to obtain a washing machine and mattress which was donated to Seimela. Community members from the area also helped to construct a new structure for Seimela. Seimela expressed her true gratitude towards Lekganyane and said she wished more people would live out the spirit of Ubuntu like she does.

“I was touched by the story and decided to go the extra mile to help Seimela. I plead with people to help women and children even thought economic times are tough,” Lekgan-yane said.

The crowing of Miss Limpopo 2015 is scheduled to take place at Sun Meropa on 6 December. A variety of workshops are planned for the finalists to prepare them for the crown-ing.

Afrikaners nou reeds herinner aan GeloftedagSoos gebruiklik word Geloftefees weer op 16 Desember plaaslik gevier.

Johan Willemse, Afrikaner-kultuurleier en feesorganiseerder, doen nou reeds ‘n beroep op die publiek om die datum te reserveer.

Hy sê die Doornkraal-geloftefeesterrein net buite Polokwane is in 1993 van die munisipaliteit aangekoop.

Sedertdien word daar jaarliks vanaf 9 Desember elke aand bymekaar gekom, Bybelstudie gedoen, die geskiedenis en die gelofte van 1838 getrou in herinnering geroep.

Willemse spreek die hoop uit dat die Afrikaner-kultuurgemeenskap hul geloftes deurlopend sal eerbiedig. “Mag ons elkeen jaarliks oor sewe dae ons geestelik voor-berei om op 16 Desember as Geloftevolk die wonder van daardie dag eerbiedig en uit dankbaarheid, met vreugde en stand-vastig in die geloof te gedenk.”

Meer besonderhede oor die feespro-gram en tye sal later bekend gemaak word.

Miss Lim continuous to reach out

National ANC delegation visits LimYOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

A visit by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the African National Congress (ANC) to the Waterberg region the past weekend was part of a continuous programme of strengthen-ing ruling party structures.

ANC Limpopo spokesperson Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said the visit was part of a country-wide programme that concoided the pro-gramme of the ANC in the province to rebuild structures across Limpopo.

In a media statement she said Deputy Secretary-General Jessie Duarte, NWC member Nomvula Mokonyane and the Provincial Execu-tive Committee (PEC) met with the Regional Executive Committee (REC) of Waterberg and ANC councillors in the region on Saturday. The meeting focused on improving the work of ANC councillors as part of strengthening service de-livery to communities and continuous feedback to communities through ANC structures.

Sunday’s programme focussed on meetings with members of ANC Branch Executive Commit-tees (BECs) across all sub-regions of Waterberg, she stated.

The meetings with the BECs were led by members of the NWC, including Treasurer-Gener-al Zweli Mkhize and were supported by members of the PEC led by ANC Provincial Chairperson Stan Mathabatha. “These meetings focused on rebuilding structures of the ANC and ensuring the ANC branch leads society by championing community issues. The meetings reaffirmed the responsibility of the ANC to continuously engage with the broader community and provide leader-ship at all times.”

The NWC expressed appreciation for the work of the PEC and ANC Limpopo structures in general for ensuring the province remained home of the ANC.

“This has recently been re-confirmed with the overwhelming ANC victory in the by-elec-tions of 5 November in Bela-Bela and Thu-lamela sub-regions,” she concluded.

Bestuurder lig beseer toe trekker omslaanDie bestuurder en werknemer van die Polokwane Munisipaliteit is verlede Donderdag lig beseer toe die trekker en sleepwa waarmee hy gery het, omgeslaan het na ‘n botsing teen ‘n bakkie. Volgens ‘n verkeerskonstabel op die toneel het ‘n bakkiebestuurder die trekker in Natorpstraat verbygesteek. Die trekkerbestuurder wou waarskynlik by John-sonstraat afdraai en het nie die bakkie gesien nie. “Die trekkerbestuurder is lig beseer en dieselfde dag nog uit die hospitaal ontslaan,” sê munisipale kommunikasie- en bemarkingsbestuurder, Tidimalo Chuene.

Die organiseringskomitee van die Kankervereniging van Suid-Afrika (Kansa) het

Sondag tydens ‘n funksie by Bo-livia Lodge breëbors aangekondig dat R240 573 tydens vanjaar se Relay for Life-projek ingesamel is.

Die koördineerder, David Booth sê hy word dikwels op sy knieë gedwing deur Polokwane-inwon-ers se oop harte. “Daar is so baie mense wat donasies gee en soveel ander wat liefde deel. Kansa word nie net tydens die Relay for Life ondersteun nie, maar ons kry daa-gliks besoekers by die hospitium wat vir kankerlyers kom bid en hul ondersteun in die kankerstryd.”

Booth het persone wat graag op die komitee wil dien om te help met die organisering van die jaarlikse Relay for Life genooi om Kansa te kontak. “Ons kry jaarliks kompli-mente en kritiek en wil probeer om te verbeter, maar het ander se insette nodig. Vanjaar se komitee het uit slegs ses lede bestaan wat

te min is om so ‘n groot geleentheid te organiseer,” sê Booth.

Hy het sy dank teenoor die gemeenskap vir hul ondersteu-ning uitgespreek en gesê hoewel daar vanjaar baie minder mense was, was die gees en gesindheid uitstekend.

Northern Academy Secondary School het die trofee ontvang vir die meeste geld in ‘n privaathoe-danigheid ingesamel met ‘n totaal van R43 000.

Die korporatiewe instansie wat die meeste geld (R27 079) ingesamel het asook die meeste stalletjies tydens die Relay for Life gehad het, is First National Bank. Hillary Construction het met die trofee vir die beste spangees weggestap.

Booth sê 121 oorlewendes het die eerste rondte om die baan gestap, ‘n totaal van 64 spanne het ingeskryf en 101 staanplekke is verkoop. Die datum vir die volgende Relay for Life is nog nie bekend nie, maar sal moont-lik volgende jaar in September plaasvind.

Limpopo Health wins fight against malaria

BARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

The Limpopo Department of Health has made significant headway in the fight against malaria over the past 15 years.

Since 2000/2001, the 10 423 malaria cases

reported in the province have declined to 5 000 cases during 2006/07.

Macks Lesufi, Spokesperson for the Depart-ment of Health, in a media release stated that much progress has been made to control and combat malaria and that this success can be attributed to measures the department put in place to fight the disease.

“Every year, the Department deploys teams in communities to do indoor residual spraying using a chemical that kills malaria transmitting mosquitoes. During the 2014/15 financial year alone, more than 530 000 houses have been sprayed and it is expected that the one million mark will be reached by the beginning of 2015. The department now continues to monitor incidents of malaria on a daily basis since 986 malaria cases were reported during September and October alone,” the statement read.

Lesufi also stated that primary health care centres as well as hospitals are always ready to deal with any incident of malaria and patients with suspected symptoms are tested immediately. The best available treatment for malaria is accessible at all clinics, and treat-ment is administered to all patients found to be positive with malaria.

Although the malaria incidents have de-clined since 2000, malaria transmission still persists in the high risk areas. Malaria can increase sharply as a result of external factors like high temperatures and rainfall, outdoor activities at night and movement of people between malaria risk areas in Limpopo and neighbouring countries.

“The department calls on all communities in the province to be cautious and seek immedi-ate attention should they observe symptoms associated with malaria by visiting their nearest health facilities to avoid any fatali-ties. People are also urged to use protective measures such as the application of repellents where necessary.”

Ranch Resort - leading venue for events, conferences in Limpopo

>> Recently hosted conferences effortlessly catering for 750 guests >> Soccer pitch hosted Popcru’s 25th anniversary

Protea Hotel Ranch Resort has over the years established itself as a world class conferencing and events venue with

their latest acquisition, a 875 m² marquee, putting them ahead of the rest yet again. And to prove that, they hosted the recent 25th anniversary of the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (Popcru) as well as the union’s Central Executive Committee conference, accommodating 750 members and guests at the new venue.

Widely regarded as the leading confer-ence venue in the greater Polokwane and Waterberg areas the resort offers a number of unique venues, that can accommodate up to 1 300 delegates, and a mix of thoroughly modern facilities, first-class service and rich traditional culture.

“It is because of these facilities that Protea

Hotel Ranch Resort acquired this conference and festival and as a result boosted other local accommodation venues by increasing their room nights with an overflow of 1 250 room nights over this period; a grand boost for tourism in the area,” Protea Hotel Ranch Resort General Manager, Paul Shearer said.

The three-day Popcru event was concluded with an anniversary celebration held on the resort’s sports field, a soccer pitch built to international standards that has been used by local and international teams for off season training camps since mid May 2012. With over 50 years of experience and expertise, Protea Hotel Ranch Resort is fully geared to accom-modate such large conferences and events. Ample parking at all venues; dedicated and experienced function, banqueting and confer-ence staff are among the factors that contrib-

ute to each event being a resounding success. Following the Popcru event the operations

team received high accolades for quality, creativity, flair and proficiency – they made serving 750 guests seem effortless. There is no doubt this leading destination venue will be top of mind when deciding on a venue that takes away the stress and leaves only the memorable experience of any conference, event or festival.

Protea Hotel Ranch Resort is Limpopo’s most highly acclaimed superior four-star hotel with easy access to the property from both the N1 highway and the R101 main road. The most talked about activity at Protea Hotel Ranch Resort is no doubt the ‘Walk With Lions’ experience. Guests have the opportu-nity to encounter free roaming African lions in their natural habitat for up to an hour and a

half, an experience both unique and memo-rable.

Protea Hotel Ranch Resort is proud to offer unequalled hospitality and an in-depth understanding of every guest’s needs. The Ranch Conservancy’s unique features include the lion and hyena park, 25 species of antelope including the rare and endangered sable antelope, over 200 species of birds, the Kolobe Bush Camp which includes team building facilities and accommodation ideal for groups up to 70 people searching for a venue in a true African bush environment.

The resort further offers an impressive range of facilities such as four swimming pools, pool side lapa and bar, two restaurants, bar lounge, children’s area and fitness centre. For more information contact them on 015 290 5000.

The case of contaminated food being served to learners by a school feeding scheme had far-reaching implications

after another 70 learners from Makeke Primary School in the Elias Motsoaledi Municipality were rushed to the Groblersdal Hospital on Monday following a meal of beans, pumpkin and pap.

This resulted in Premier Stan Mathabatha also visiting the school on Monday to investi-gate the matter of contaminated food being served to the learners in Limpopo, according to Paene Galane, Spokesperson for the Depart-ment of Education (DoE). Presently the issue is being resolved between the DoE and the Office of the Premier, Galane said and referred Polokwane Observer to the Provincial Government Spokesperson at the Office of the Premier, Phuti Seloba, who could not offer any further comment as he was busy with a meet-ing at the time of going to print.

The learners were treated for vomiting and stomach cramps after being rushed to hospital by an Emergency Medical Services ambulance on Monday. This despite an urgent meeting by the Democratic Alliance (DA) and MEC for Education, Thembisile Nwedamutswu on Thursday following an incident where more than 300 learners from Hlakudi Primary School in Tafelkop in the Sekhukhune district were rushed to the Groblersdal and Glen Cowie hospitals after eating food alleged to have been contaminated from the school nutrition programme. Five learners subsequently died from eating the alleged contaminated food.

This led to the Democratic Alliance (DA) seeking an urgent meeting with the MEC to discuss the issue of contaminated food that is being distributed to schools throughout the province as part of the programme. The learn-ers also complained about stomach cramps after eating samp and beans during their lunch break and all were rushed to the hospitals afterwards, according to a media statement released by the DA recently.

After the meeting between the DA and

the DoE, the MEC acted swiftly to terminate the contacts of two service providers involved with the National School Nutrition Programme. However, DA leader in Limpopo, Jacques Smalle has subsequently opened five murder cases against the DoE and the service provid-ers at the Groblersdal Police Station on Friday following the death of the learners, the DA said in a press statement released on Monday.

“It is rather unfortunate that the DA had to take numerous steps in intervening in the contaminated food crisis before the DoE could act against such service providers. The DoE must also recover the monies that were paid to these service providers for the food that hospitalised and killed our children,” DA Caucus Spokesperson, Stephen Mbedzi said in a media statement released on Monday.

>> Has vast knowledge serving in various sport committees>> Will make SAIMSA a credible structureBARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) Sport Coordinator Alpheus Mashamaite was recently elected as new president

of the Southern Africa Inter-Municipal Sports Association (SAIMSA). The elections were held during the annual games 2014 that took place at Buffalo City Metro in East London during September.

Saimsa is an organisation focused on municipal employee sports as part of their employee wellness programmes. The organisa-tion was established in 2011 and is the only structure which focuses on the development of municipal employee sport within the South-ern African Development Community (SADC) region.

According to Jabu Masondo, Communica-tions Manager of CDM, Mashamaite is elected to lead the structure after it was led by an interim structure since 2011. The structure will serve as a mouthpiece for South African mu-nicipalities participating in the Saimsa games and also for municipal employees who are passionate about sport within their respective institutions. “Although the issue of employee wellness is pivotal in a workplace, it is our objective to equally share the values with employers. Our main objective is to unify em-ployees through sport within the municipalities and encourage active participation in sport. We envisage making Saimsa visible in all provinces across the Republic of South Africa,” Masha-maite is quoted to have said. “This will ensure that employers continue to pledge support and maintain sustainability of this important initia-

tive. Employee wellness can never be under estimated in a workplace given its impact on our employees’ ability to continuously provide services to our communities. Our organisation has both the interest of sport devotees and employers at heart,” Mashamaite stressed.

Mashamaite added that Saimsa also intends to advocate the values and practices that promote the diverse nature of our society ac-commodating various sporting codes existing within member municipalities and recognising those considered to be in minority. “South African municipalities have participated in the Saimsa games since its inception in 2003. The games are seen as part of the wellness programme as well as a networking session amongst employees from different municipali-ties within the country and the SADC region,” Mashamaite concluded.

Other elected Saimsa committee mem-bers are Deputy President Dodo Koketso Lekoma from Mahikeng Municipality in North West, Secretary Mihloti Shirinda from Greater Tzaneen, Deputy Secretary Girly Maifala from Polokwane Municipality and Treasurer Deon Martin from Buffalo City Metro in Eastern Cape. Additional members from Limpopo municipali-ties are Staff Tsebe of Mogalakwena, Bethuel Mabeso from Blouberg, Tintswalo Shiringani from Makhado, Sam Rameetse and Comfort Mathebula from Greater Tzaneen.

Government officials took advantage of a free day to take part in the sports day that was recently held at the Polokwane Military Sports Club.

Teams could play soccer, volleyball and netball and the event created an opportu-nity for colleagues to foster friendships and build good working relations.

Polokwane Municipality’s volleyball team beat the Uni-versity of Limpopo (Turfloop Campus) in the finals. The scores were 1-1, 1-1 and 13-15 in favour of Polokwane Municipality.

Trok-bestuurder ongedeerd na botsing‘n Trokbestuurder kan homself gelukkig ag om lewend uit ‘n wrak van ‘n vragmotor te klim nadat hy vermoedelik verlede Donderdag van agter met ‘n ander vrag-motor op die N1-suid naby Ysterberg gebots het. Volgens ‘n oogge-tuie het die vragmotor se remme waarskynlik gefaal en van agter teen ‘n stadigbewegende vragmotor gebots. “Dit is ‘n wonderwerk dat die vragmotorbestuurder ongedeerd uit die wrak geklim het,” sê die oog-getuie.

Die naderende feesseisoen gaan gewoon-lik gepaard met ‘n toename in misdaad en die polisie maan inwoners en besig-

heidseienaars nou reeds om hul paraatheids-vlakke op te skerp.

Polokwane word inderdaad die afgelope twee weke reeds deur toenemende voorvalle van roof, inbrake en diefstal geteister.

Die feit word deur die polisie bevestig wat op hul beurt maan dat geen genade teenoor misdadigers getoon sal word nie. Die polisie het reeds die afgelope naweek daad by die woord gevoeg toe ‘n klopjag in Westenburg plaasgevind het. Ses sjebiens is gesluit en daar is op alkohol beslag gelê. “Vyftien mense is ook vir onwettige dobbel toegesluit en het reeds in die Polokwane Landdroshof verskyn. Hulle is op waarskuwing vrygelaat,” sê Westen-burg polisiewoordvoerder, Mohlaka Mashiane.

Verder het die polisie tien vermeende pros-titute op die Ivydale-kleinhoewes gearresteer wat Maandag skulderkenningsboetes by die polisiestasie betaal het en vrygelaat is. Volgens Mashiane is van die vermeende prostitute van Tzaneen en Mokopane afkomstig.

Die Eduanpark Welgelegen Gemeenskaps-polisiëringsforum (Edwel GPF) het intussen ‘n brief aan die Polokwane Munisipaliteit se ontwikkelingsbeplanningbestuurder, Molatelo Mashego, gerig waarin hul kommer oor ‘n huis in Kaptein Slegtkampstraat uitspreek. GPF-lede het glo gedurende hul nagpatrollie die huis dopgehou en waargeneem dat veral mans by die huis opdaag en vroue wat slegs in japonne geklee is ontmoet. In die brief word gevra dat die munisipaliteit ondersoek instel en waarsku-wings aan die inwoners en huiseienaar uitreik. “Dit is ‘n feit dat prostitusie met dwelms en mensehandel geassosieer word en dit is ons plig om van sulke aktiwiteite ontslae te raak,” lui die brief.

Ook in Welgelegen, enkele dae nadat ‘n bejaarde egpaar in generaal De la Reystraat aangeval en gemartel is, is verlede week by ‘n huis in dieselfde straat ingebreek. Volgens inligting het twee inbrekers deur die dak van die huis gekom.

“Die inbrekers het in die huis rondgeloop en ‘n kas in een van die slaapkamers oopgebreek. Hulle het hulself met die huiseienaar se bier en wyn gehelp en glo ook ‘n muntversameling probeer steel, maar kon nie daarin slaag nie,” sê ‘n lid van die GPF wat op die toneel was. Die huishulp het glo alarm gemaak waarna die bure die GPF geskakel het. Nog geen ar-restasies is gemaak nie. Die eienaar wou glo nie ‘n saak by die polisie aanhangig maak nie. Die GPF-lid het inwoners egter versoek om alle sake by die polisiestasie te rapporteer, omdat verdagtes moontlik met groter misdade verbind kan word.

Twee leerders van die Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé het ook drie vermeende diewe, wat ‘n meisie van dié skool se selfoon wou steel terwyl sy deur die park oorkant die skool gestap het, vasgetrek. Sien storie elders.

Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Ronel Otto sê mense moet gedurende die feesseisoen waaksaam en bewus van dinge om hulle wees. “Basiese stappe kan geneem word om nie ‘n slagoffer van misdaad te word nie. Wees bedag as jy geld trek, bêre skootrekenaars, kameras, inkopies of handsakke in die kattebak en uit die krimineel se oog. Dra duur juwele in privaatheid; daar word toenemend voorvalle waar hangertjies van vroue se nekke afgeruk word, aangemeld,” sê Otto.

Sy voeg verder by dat huiseienaars nalaat om tuingereedskap toe te sluit. “Dit is ‘n mak-like wapen en selfs toerusting om by ‘n huis in te breek. Die feesseisoen word gekenmerk deur leeglêers wat naamborde en padtek-ens bekrap of beskadig en plante steel. Ons waarsku vandaliste dat stewige boetes opgelê word,” sê Otto.

Apprehension over the presence of a tav-ern in the heart of Extension 76 fuelled increased discontent among a group of

female community members fighting for the release of two youngsters whose arrest for malicious damage to property at the hang-out on the weekend resulted in them missing their end-year exams this week.

Gathering outside Seshego Police Station on Tuesday the group of women, including the two mothers of the suspects respectively aged 22 and 23 years, explained that the young men were arrested on Monday after a brawl at Mzanzi Tavern in Extension 76 the previous afternoon. The Grade 10 and Grade 12 learn-ers were missing exams at Flora Park Com-prehensive High School and Kabelo Combined School despite the investigating officer earlier promising their release by 07:00 on Tuesday, they claimed through an interpreter.

By noon on Tuesday the despondent women were desperate for help to get the youngsters out of prison for them to be able to go and write their exams, alleging that the investigating officer in the matter told them the previous day to wait until he could assist them, that the docket was being prepared and that he would release the young men once provided with a petition the community would have signed to solicit the help of the Police in closing down the tavern. According to them they handed the petition containing 137 signatures over to the investigator on Monday as requested.

At the time of the interview they had spent hours at the Police station, being sent from pillar to post, they claimed. On Monday they

went there twice, the second time staying until around 22:00 without noticing any movement in the matter. On Tuesday morning they were back there, having arrived at around 07:00, they said.

According to South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) Ward 8 Secretary Jermi-na Masekoameng who initially spoke on behalf of the group, the tavern owner did not have proof that the two suspects were responsible for the alleged damages as the whole com-munity seemingly got involved when the kids started fighting. “The Police are wasting the kids’ time. They should have been in class-rooms writing exams,” she exclaimed.

One of the desperate mothers stressed that the community had wanted the tavern to close since it was taken over by the current owner around March this year. “Since she has taken over nothing good has come out of it,” said the woman. “We want the tavern to be closed because it is not good for the community.” According to her, people have allegedly been stabbed to death during incidents on the prem-ises in the past. She mentioned she alerted her son on the dangers of going to the tavern, but he was resistant. “They come home drunk in the wee hours of the morning.”

Visiting the alleged trouble spot, Polo-kwane Observer was met by a deserted venue and broken bottle shards scattered across the yard. The owner, identified as Rose Matlamela, was not present. However, the cell phone details obtained from someone at the business took Polokwane Observer to the wrong number.

Seshego Police spokesperson Mothemane Malefo undertook to provide feedback on the matter. Later follow-up calls remained unan-swered.

Die Noord-Gautengse hooggeregshof het Dinsdag aan AfriForum ʼn hofbevel toe-gestaan wat die Mookgophong Munisipaliteit verplig om water aan hul gemeenskap te voorsien.

Dít volg nadat watervoorsiening in die dorp gedurende Oktober tot stilstand gekom het en die dorp vanjaar al vir meer as 1 000 uur sonder water moes funksioneer.

“Die hofbevel is ʼn groot oorwinning vir die dorp en dien as meganisme om die munisi-paliteit tot verantwoording te roep. Dit is ons prioriteit om te verseker dat inwoners water kry. Die hofbevel bepaal ook dat die gemeenskap betyds in kennis gestel moet word indien daar instandhouding aan water-pype gedoen word of wanneer die water na

die dorp afgesny gaan word. Dit bied inwon-ers die geleentheid om voorsorg te tref,” sê Philip van Staden, voorsitter van AfriForum se Naboomspruit-tak, in ‘n mediavrystelling.

“Die hofbevel het dit duidelik gemaak dat onmiddellike ingryping moet plaasvind. AfriForum sal as burgerregte-waghond op ons pos bly om toe te sien dat die grondwet-like regte van landsburgers seëvier,” het Morné Mostert, AfriForum se koördineerder in Limpopo, beaam.

Indien die hofbevel nie deur die partye deurgevoer word nie, sal hulle skuldig aan minagting van die hof wees.

Phineas Sebola, munisipale bestuurder, het teen druktyd aan Polokwane Observer gesê dat hy nie in die stadium enige kom-mentaar kan lewer nie aangesien die muni-sipaliteit nog nie amptelik van die hofbevel kennis geneem het nie.

The Vice Chancellor and Principal of the University of Venda, Peter Mbati officially launched a functional demonstration

kitchen using biogas from the digestion of cow dung as cooking energy during a function that took place at the University recently.

According to a media release issued by the Department of Communications and Marketing of the University, Mbati was overwhelmed by the project to which the University committed close to R1m and is quoted to have said that the biogas technology may substitute polluting solid and liquid fuels such as wood, coal and paraffin which were still used in rural areas.

The University of Venda partnered with the Limpopo Department of Economic Develop-ment, Environment and Tourism (Ledet), the Vhembe Further Education Training College and some local non-governmental organisa-tions in implementing the Provincial Green Economy Plan. This collaboration has resulted in the signing of a memorandum of agreement between Ledet and the University of Venda for the establishment of a green economy centre of excellence. The functional demonstra-tion kitchen will be used to cook food for the University’s Department of Consumer Science. This pilot project is a typical demonstrating example of a self-sustaining integrated farming system showing potential of waste-to-energy conversion through the production of biogas

from animal and plant waste.Ledet contributed R237 000 to the project

for the training of the local brick layers who constructed the biogas digester. The ceremony was attended by members of the university community, representatives from various gov-ernment departments, the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), Eskom, learners and educators from local secondary schools.

Hanrie Bekker: “Die ekonomie versleg steeds. Dit is moei-like tye en ons sala-risse bly dieselfde.”

Walter Nkuna: “It is tough. We are strug-gling to cope and it gets worse because of unemployment.”

Candace van der Merwe: “Ek dink as ons die ekono-miese krisis wil oorleef, moet ons begroot sodat ons Kersgeskenke kan bekostig.

Dorcus Mogale: “I think if people are employed they will be able to cope with the economy.”

Nadia Grobler: “Dit is moeilik om met ons salarisse uit te kom in die huidige ekono-miese klimaat.”

Sanco regional leadership gathers

The leadership of five South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) sub-regional structures in the Peter Mokaba region recently gathered for a

workshop in Polokwane to be reacquainted with, among others, the Constitution, their obligations

based on the preambles thereof and the task of re-uniting the people of the region. In the front are

Silas Mokou, Jacob Mohale and Botha Mphahlele. At the back are Thomas Moyo, William Ramon-

yai, Norman Shai, Mitha Kgasago, Jan Modisane, Martin Matabani and Johannes Sebola.

Economic growth in South Africa has declined since the 2008 global economic crisis. Polokwane Observer asked residents how the current state of the South African economy affects them. Die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie het sedert die wêreld ekonomiese krisis in 2008 verlangsaam. Polokwane Observer het inwoners gevra hoe die huidige stand van die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie hulle raak.

Sakelui in Ladine is raadop met vullis­stortbakke op sypaadjies en in openbare oopruimtes wat nie gereeld deur die mu­

nisipaliteit leeggemaak of verwyder word nie.Persone wat by die houers opdaag om

kantoor­ en industriële vullis te stort en vind dat dit vol is, stort hul vullis buite en om die houers.

Bederfbare kos word ook weggegooi en haweloses en versamelaars van herwinbare afval vererger die probleem as hulle ná ure in die houers grawe en die inhoud buite versprei. Die papier en plasties waai rond terwyl dit wat oorbly, binne en rondom die houers aan die brand gesteek word en lugbesoedeling veroor­saak wat volgens ‘n plaaslike geneesheer ‘n gesondheidsgevaar inhou vir persone wat aan asma lei.

Toe die plaaslike brandweer onlangs na ‘n brandende vullishouer in Ysterstraat ontbied is, het ‘n omstander Polokwane Observer meegedeel dat die brandweervoertuig wat op die toneel aangekom het, nie voldoende watervoorraad gehad het om die vuur te blus nie en ‘n tweede voertuig na die toneel is. Op navraag het ‘n woordvoerder van die munisi­

paliteit egter bevestig dat die eerste voertuig oorgenoeg water gehad het, maar dat ‘n dryfband van die pomp op die toneel gebreek het en dat ‘n bystandvoertuig onverwyld na die toneel is om die probleem te hanteer. “Die dryfbande is verbruikbare items en hou nie vir ewig nie. Die dryfband is op die toneel vervang en die voertuig was weer diensbaar,” het ‘n bron gesê.

Die probleem is al verskeie kere onder die munisipaliteit se aandag gebring en Polo­kwane Observer het ook onlangs oor ‘n oorvol houer in Dap Naudéstraat berig. Dié houer is na ‘n week verwyder maar die gemors wat om die houer agtergebly het, is steeds nie verwyder nie.

Die probleem met vullishouers is ook nie beperk tot Ladine nie en klagtes oor dieselfde situasie is ook van Nirvana ontvang. Volgens ‘n bron wat verkies om anoniem te bly, kan som­mige van die houers nie verwyder word nie omdat dit deurgeroes is en die inhoud agterbly wanneer die houers opgelig word.

Die munisipaliteit het by monde van Tidi­malo Chuene, bestuurder bemarking en kom­munikasie, gesê dat die munisipaliteit besig is met ‘n program om die vullis stelselmatig op te ruim, maar die resultate van die poging is duidelik nog nie sigbaar nie.

Memorable Order of Tin Hats (Moth) from the Botha Shellhole in Polokwane joined in the National Day of Remembrance Memorial Service held globally on Sunday to com-memorate the end of World War 1 on 11 November 1918.

The day is also known as Armistice Day or Poppy Day and is commemorated annu-ally on the day or the Sunday nearest to the date. The day is celebrated by old soldiers, family members, all those that long for peace and in honour of those who paid the highest sacrifice during armed conflict. The customary red poppy worn by those who commemorate the day stem from the pop-pies that bloomed on the worst battlefields of Flanders during the war and is seen as a symbol of the blood spilt.

Wreaths are also laid by various units of

the armed forces in honour of those who lost their lives. Funds raised by Moth in the running up to Remembrance Day are mainly used to subsidise old soldiers and their families regarding housing, victuals and other needs.

Belangstellende pampoenkwekers moet op-skud om hulle pitte te koop en te begin plant want die jaarlikse Goliat van Gat Pampoen-fees vind weer op Saterdag 28 Maart 2015 in Pretoria plaas.

Philippie de Beer, voorsitter van TLU SA

Noord, sê enigeen, oud of jonk, kan aan die pampoengroeikompetisie deelneem. Al wat nodig is, is ‘n lappie grond van 3,3 m². “Die ‘professionele’ kwekers plant een pit begin September, weer twee aan die begin van Okto-ber en weer een aan die begin van November om voorsiening te maak vir die onvoorsiene. Gewone kwekers plant al vier pitte tegelyk, een vir die wurm, een wat gaan vrek, een wat

Volgens hom is daar ‘n baie spesiale metode om die ou grotes te plant en na hulle om te sien. Meer inligting kan van TLU SA Noord verkry word en ‘n volledige resep is beskikbaar om voornemende pampoenkwekers in ‘n japtrap touwys te maak. Pienkie Swart, 2014-wenner het met die louere weggestap toe sy pampoen die skaal op 29 Maart 2014 op 494 kg getrek het. “As mens egter kyk na die grootte van Stilbaai se pampoene elke jaar, blyk die wenresep sanderige grond te wees.”

Die doelwit van die kompetisie is om op ‘n vrolike manier vir verbruikers te wys dat boere en landbouers noodsaaklik is vir voedselse-kerheid. Die persone wat in die verlede van die pampoene geplant het, sal weet hoe moeilik dit is om pampoene te plant en veral die kleintjies te versorg totdat hulle in een van die ou grotes ontwikkel.

Voornemende pampoenkwekers kan Wilma Prinsloo by TLU SA Noord se streekkantoor by 015 293 9804 skakel om pitte te bekom. Dit kos R50 per inskrywing vir vier pitte. Die opbrengs word vir liefdadigheid geskenk.

Innovative technology, exciting performance and stunning presence are what make it different from its rivals. The dynamic style of the Mazda 3 is the result of Kodo which captures the moment energy becomes motion. The athleticism is expressed with elegance, allowing the Mazda 3 to make a premium impression.

On the interior, Mazda exceeded all expec-tations with the new design and layout. The elegant cabin is precisely crafted with perfectly located controls and information to keep the driver focussed on the road. The Active Driving Display, available in selected models, helps to enhance concentration by projecting key data into the driver’s line of sight. Through the use of intuitive technology, the new Mazda 3 connects the driver more closely to the driving enjoyment. A large central screen displays sys-tem information at eye level to access audio system and Bluetooth connectivity from the Active model and above.

Skyactive Technology, a breakthrough innova-tion that completely re-engineers every aspect of the vehicle to heighten performance and unleash greater efficiency. Skyactiv Technology was integrated in the chassis, the 2,0 litre en-gine, the body and both manual and automatic transmissions.

The 1,6 litre range engines offer 77 kW at 6 600 rpm with a maximum torque of 144 Nm at 4 000 rpm. The 2,0 litre engines are much more powerful with 121 kW of power and 210 Nm of torque at the same revolutions respec-tively. These engines are supported by either a five speed manual or four speed auto (1,6 litre range) or a six speed manual or auto in the 2,0 litre range. The 1,6 litre range offers between a combined fuel consumption of 6,0 and 6,7 litre per 100 km while the 2,0 litre range offers 5,8 and 6,1 litre per 100 km while all models are equipped with a 51 litre fuel tank.

Saturday ahead of the finale scheduled to take place on 6 December at the same venue.

The contestants were tested on general knowledge, taught about poise, how to com-municate, the importance of community work and how to present themselves.

“Those are some of the things we look for in a winner. It was important to sharpen the girls and get them ready for the big event. Remember this pageant is not about the looks. This is a youth development project. We are

building future leaders through this pageant. We are looking for someone who will be the ambassador for young people in the province,” pageant organiser, Rene Kidd said afterwards.

The provincial Department of Educa tion embarked on a project to reno-

vate more than one hundred and fifty schools in the surroundings of Polokwane

and other parts of the province at a cost of approximately R120 million. This included the renovation and building of one thousand classrooms and offices

which floods damaged or destroyed.A government source said the dilapi-

dation of many classrooms was a source of concern, prompting the Department to put the project on the fast-track programme to eliminate the serious shortages of classrooms in Limpopo. Badly damaged structures would be completely rebuilt.

Emerging contractors already started with the rebuilding and renovation of classrooms and office blocks, while brick structures were replacing all as-

R120m for schoolsbestos classrooms. It was estimated that the renovations and rebuilding of approximately one thousand damaged and dilapidated classrooms would al-leviate the backlog in accommodation for learners demanded for proper and effective educational purposes.

The source said the project provided temporary work for at least 1 500 people, benefiting surrounding communities bur-dened with unemployment and poverty. The total project would be completed by mid-June. (Photos page 2)

In what was described as a highly suc-cessful operation, police from the Crime Prevention Unit in Polokwane found some dagga and other minor substances when a raid was done on the premises of the Agricultural High School Kuschke on the outskirts of the city on Monday evening.

Headmaster, Mr Manus Celliers ap-plauded the police for the manner in which the entire operation was con-ducted, emphasising that headmasters can no longer turn a blind eye to drug abuse at schools. “However small or big the problem may be, it needs to be addressed before it becomes a major pro-blem,” said Celliers.

Polokwane police spokesperson Sgt Michael Ramoshaba, confirmed that no arrest were made. A few learners were placed in the care of their parents and a counselling programme will now be insti-

tuted to assist learners to deal with the risk of using drugs. The major aim of the police is to make schools a safer place for all its learners, Ramoshaba added.

Celliers echoed Ramoshaba’s view and stressed that use of drugs and other illegal substances would not be tolerated at Kuschke. He gave the assurance that similar action would be taken should it become necessary.

These operations are conducted in a very humane, sensitive manner. Police men and women from the Crime Preven-tion Unit headed by Supt Morné De Wet entered the premises after dinner and started their search in all the hostels and other buildings on the premises. Learners were not body searched, said Ramoshaba.

The team was backed by members of school’s governing body, the headmaster and a few teachers and members of the Education Department.

Amid reports of turmoil in isolated hotspots, months of great anticipa-

tion came to an end when mil-lions of South Africans went to the polls yesterday (Wednes-day) to cast their votes in the fifth general elections since the

dawn of democracy.For many 18-year-

olds from the born-free genera-tion it was their first time ever. For others a mark that symbol-ised hope in their hearts that their cross would contribute to a better future.

At the time of going to press Limpopo’s results were expected to start trickling in from around midnight, accord-ing to Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) Provincial Spokesperson Chris Ramafalo. The only voting stations that could not open in time were 10 at Lorraine in the Maruleng area riddled by unrest, he said. By around 11:00 yesterday eight

stations had not been able to open but

he predicted that it would all be in operation by lunchtime. Otherwise it was smooth-going in Limpopo, he assured.

In Polokwane misty condi-tions announced the arrival of a new day when thousands of voters braved the early morning chill to join queues at voting stations. Among the voting masses were Premier Stan Mathabatha and members of his executive council as well as Ministers registered to cast their

vote in the city, with several designated to vote at Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos (Oosskool) in Bendor.

“U kind het die reg om gelukkig en suksesvol te wees, maar kan net gelukkig wees as hy sukses-vol in die klas is.”

Die kernboodskap het Pieters-burg Laerskool (PLS)-hoof, Peet Bredenkamp aan 2015 se graad R-leerders en ouers oorgedra wat Vrydag die skool besoek het en die onderwysers en terrein beter leer ken het.

Bredenkamp het terselfdertyd ‘n beroep op ouers gedoen om hul kinders in die vrese van die Here groot te maak, hulle nie van samekomste van gelowiges weg te hou nie en hul nie met televisie- en videospeletjies of selfone te bederf nie. “Kinders word deur bobbejaanspel gestimuleer. Hulle moet klim en klouter en buite speel want dit leer hulle kreatiwiteit. Ouers benadeel hul kinders deur hulle toe te laat om ure voor die tele-visie te spandeer want tegnolo-gie ontneem kinders van sosiale vaardighede,” sê Bredenkamp.

Hy het beklemtoon dat ‘n graad R-jaar die laaste geleent-heid is om ‘n kind vir formele leer gereed te kry en dat lees die belangrikste faktor in leer en onderrig is.

Honderde mense het Saterdag Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé se sportterrein besoek waar die tweede Suid Jolyt-fees, wat vir lekker vermaak en hope te koop gesorg het, aangebied is.

Die geld wat tydens die fees ingesamel is, word gebruik om Pietersburg Laerskool (PLS) se geldkoffers aan te vul en in belang van die skool se leerders terug te ploeg.

Suid Jolyt se organiseerders het gesorg dat dit vir oud en jonk die moeite werd was om die fees te ondersteun. Winskopies was volop by die stalletjies en die jongklomp kon in die pretpark baljaar of hul vernuf agter ‘n windbuks toets.

Watertandlekker eet-en drink-goed het groot aftrek gekry.

Besoekers kon na gaskuns-tenaars, Hans Drommedaaris en Etha luister. Hans is bekend vir lekker Afrikaanse musiek terwyl Etha ‘n verskeidenheid Afrikaanse

en Engelse treffers sing wat selfs Rock n Roll insluit. Die fees is Saterdagaand deur die jolige Afrikaanse sanger en televisieper-soonlikheid, Thys die Bosveldklong afgesluit.

Organsieerder, Karen Kruger het haar dank teenoor elkeen wat die fees moontlik gemaak en ondersteun het, uitgespreek.

Sellers need to understand that when they sign a mandate with an agent to sell their property, they are agreeing to all the terms

and conditions contained in this legally-binding document. When a seller agrees to allow an agent to market and sell his property, he should clarify beforehand what he is signing.

Firstly, there are different types of man-dates and the selling process could prove to be a costly exercise if the seller signs a sole mandate and then proceeds to sell the prop-erty through another agent or agency. Sellers in this instance stand the chance of having to pay commission to both the agent who sold

the home and the agent who secured the sole rights to sell the property in the first place.

Ask before signingThe Institute of Estate Agents often receives queries from sellers regarding the mandate they have signed with their estate agent. However, Annette Evans, Regional General Manager of the institute noted that questions should preferably be asked before the mandate is signed and not after.

“Mandates, whether sole, dual or multiple agent mandates, are legal contracts between the sellers of the property and the agent involved. Once the document is signed, it is

taken that the parties have read, understood and accepted all the conditions in the agree-ment and cannot be questioned later,” she said. She noted that changes to a mandate have to be in writing and attached to the original mandate, so that if any dispute arises, there is written proof of what agreements were reached. “According to the Consumer Protec-tion Act (CPA), mandates may be cancelled but this is dependent on many factors determined by the Act, which need to be ascertained prior to signature.”

DisputesWhen asked what sort of disputes could arise, Evans said that it could be the percentage of commission charged, whether another agent is allowed to market the home, or what the agents will be doing to market the home, to name a few.

Commission often becomes a thorny issue, particularly if the property is sold for less than the asking price or if the property is sold very quickly. Regardless of the circumstances, the time to query the percentage of commission charged is before the mandate is signed and not when it comes time to pay the agent for the work done.

Agents have obligationsAgents should provide and stick to a clear, solid marketing plan. Issues such as how often the property will go on show and when and when the property will be advertised are important. A seller has every right to withdraw a mandate if the agent concerned is not keeping his side of the bargain. However, this must be done in writing. In the case of a sole mandate, sellers can’t simply change their minds and go with another agent without taking steps to cancel the original sole mandate agreement.

The importance of reading the fine print cannot be over emphasised in these instances. Sellers need to understand exactly what they are signing and if they are unsure, should ask the agent for clarification. As always, choose your agent carefully, make sure that they are not only up to the task of selling your home, but are suitably qualified and have a valid Fidelity Fund certificate that allows them to legally sell property in this country.

The city of Polokwane has recorded many achievements during Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng’s first 100 days in of-

fice and the good news is that there are more to come.

Nkadimeng addressed a media briefing at the Council Chamber on Wednesday last week and reflected on the progress that the munici-pality has recently made. She also alluded to projects that are in stall for the coming term.

“The municipality has registered a number of projects with National Treasury and has appointed a project officer to oversee concept planning and implementation for the building of a new capacity waste water treatment plant and new electricity substations. Alternatives for renewable energy sources will also be explored. A grant of R25 million was received from the Department of Energy for the elec-trification of rural villages and the municipality was able to advertise and award tenders to electrify six villages during the 2014/15 finan-cial year,” Nkadimeng stated.

Good news for people in the rural areas, is that the municipality has advertised and awarded bids for 11 out of 14 regional water scheme projects funded by the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) and has already ap-pointed a contractor to construct ventilated pit latrines (VIP’s), catering for a total of 2 351 units at a cost of R27,8 million.

The introduction of smart metering that accommodates provision of prepaid water and electricity is on the cards and will help to reduce distribution losses and enhance the revenue collection capacity of the municipality. From October meter readings were taken after hours. Meters read are marked with a spray paint, faulty meters are receiving priority and regular Technical Steering Committee meetings are held where progress on meter reading is monitored.

Nkadimeng concluded by saying that times had been full of challenges, but that she is not afraid of challenges and is full of hope for the future of the city.

state theatre next stop for Limpopo the MusicalWARREN BLuNt>>[email protected]

After trying for many years to secure a show at the State Theatre in Pretoria the organis-ers of Limpopo The Musical are proud to announce that the local musical will be giv-ing the citizens of Gauteng a taste of what the people in Limpopo have been enjoying for years at the State Theatre from last Saturday to 16 November.

Abel Kunute, the writer and director and Oscar Phasha, the producer said it was at the National Arts Fest (Nafest) in Grahams-town last year where Limpopo The Musical set the stage on fire, kept the audience mesmerised and received standing ovations night after night from the multinational audience.

Now, Limpopo The Musical is heading to the State Theatre in Pretoria, where the organisers hope the musical production will be making another stride towards its ulti-mate destination, to perform on Broadway in New York and West End, London in the foreseeable future.

The show has grown into a fully-fledged theatre musical production, with 30 per-formers from Limpopo’s talented young actors, some of whom have over the years moved on to perform in other shows such as Umoja, which has toured the world. It tells the story of a newspaper vendor from Gauteng who visits Limpopo filled with misconceptions and false perceptions about the province. Once in Limpopo, he meets a wise man from the province who takes him on a tour of the province, only to discover that Limpopo is actually a beautiful, lovely place with wonderful features, talented and peaceful people.

In partnership with the Limpopo Eco-nomic Development Agency (Leda), Lim-popo The Musical’s week long production at the State Theatre marks a milestone in the growth of the show. Leda’s involvement with the show is in support of talented actors and producers that contribute to economic development and job creation in the province.

Jong sanger ryg goue medaljes inWarren Blunt>>[email protected]

Die 12-jarige Frederik Fourie van die Hard Rock Musiekskool in Polokwane, het sy eie verwagtinge oortref toe hy onlangs vier goue en twee silwer medaljes by die Suid-Afrikaanse Talentkampioenskap (SATCH) in Johannesburg gewen het.

Die graad 7-leerder van Laerskool Pieters-burg-Oos, wat ook ‘n lid van die skoolkoor is, het as vierjarige kleuter begin sing en geniet kitaarspeel.

Frederik het vroeër vanjaar tydens die provinsiale rondtes gekwalifiseer om aan die nasionale SATCH-kampioenskap deel te neem waar die organiseerders op soek is na Suid-Afrikaanse talentvolle jong akteurs, dansers, musikante en sangers met gesonde morele standaarde en geloof in God wat opgang wil maak in die vermaaklikheidsbedryf.

“Al was ek ‘n bietjie senuweeagtig tydens my eerste groot kompetisie as een van 1 450 deelnemers oor vyf dae het ek goud in coun-try, Afrikaans, gospel en my eie komposisie ontvang wat ek verlede jaar uit dankbaarheid vir my sangtalent geskryf het,” sê Frederik.

Hy het silwer medaljes in die rock- en ope-kategorie ontvang, maar erken dat gospel sy gunstelingmusiekstyl is en hoop om volgende jaar sy eie gospelalbum bekend te stel waar-mee hy die Here wil dien. Sy ouers, Drikus en Marina en vyfjarige sussie, Maricke is sy grootste ondersteuners.

Frederik beoog om musiek en drama aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch te studeer na voltooiing van sy hoërskoolloopbaan en uitein-delik ‘n professionele kitaarspeler- en sanger te word.

Sy rolmodelle in die musiekbedryf is Suid-Afrikanse sanger, Bobby van Jaarsveld en oorlede Freddy Mercury van Queen.

Intussen droom die jong sanger om raak-gesien te word wanneer hy by kerkgroepe en geleenthede plaaslik optree of wanneer hy hopelik volgende jaar weer by die SATCH-kampioenskap gaan deelneem met ‘n jaar se ondervinding agter die rug.

Gebruik water spaarsamig in hittige somermaandeBarrY VIlJoen >>[email protected]

Hoewel die vlakke van sommige reservoirs wat water aan inwoners van die stad voor-sien stabiel is, het die 50- en 30 megaliter reservoirs se vlakke skerp gedaal.

Die munisipaliteit het weer eens ‘n beroep op verbruikers gedoen om water spaarsaam te gebruik. Verhoogde tempera-ture die tyd van die jaar het hoër waterver-bruik tot gevolg en dit plaas groter druk op die stad se waterreserwes.

Volgens die munisipaliteit se jong-ste verslag, was die vlakke van die 50 megaliter en die nuwe 30 megaliter re-servoirs Dinsdag 12% (19%) en 5% (4%) respektiewelik. Die reservoir in Potgieter-laan se vlak was 42% (92%) en dié van die hoofreservoir in Seshego 5% (65%). Die reservoir in uitbreiding 34 se vlak is 95% (95%).

Verlede week se syfers word tussen ha-kies aangegee.

Ex-Polokwane movie star, model and endurance athlete Vanessa Haywood recently married her sweetheart, profes-

sional trail runner Ryan Sandes, in the Cape before flying off to Mauritius for their honey-moon.

The two exchanged vows in the pres-ence of a wedding party from across the world which congregated for a ceremony and reception at Nitida Wine Farm in the Durban-ville area towards the end of October. There

PHOTOS: SUPPLIEDThe couple poses for photos after the wedding.

The striking features that have been cap-tured by photographers the world over for some time now.

Dancing the night away.

Ex-Polokwane beauty marries sweetheart

>> They exchanged vows in presence of a wedding party from across the world>> Among her favourite recollections was her dad proposing a toast on her. “I was in tears!”

to share in Vanessa’s joy were parents Caroline and Eric Schulze, who hail from Polokwane. Her sis-ters, Kim and Robyn, were brides-maids along with best friends Lexi Bird and Brigette Saville and Ryan’s sister, Ashleigh. The couple’s dog, Thandi, acted as flower girl.

Among Vanessa’s favourite recollections of the day, shared in an email interview afterwards, was her dad proposing a toast to her. “I was in tears!”

Vanessa explained she was involved in the whole process arranging the wedding with an events planner and was respon-sible for 99% of the decor with the help of her girlfriends. Some of the items she had hand-made and even sewed some of it herself, she said. The wedding theme was country chic, an element Vanessa wanted included for she grew up

on a farm. According to Vanessa they were introduced to Mexican influences while in California and both love the food, hence a heart-shaped piñata filled with glow sticks, candy and confetti adding to the charm.

Post-ceremony lawn games kept guests busy until the couple re-turned from their photo shoot after the nuptials. Festivities went on through the night, with the newly-weds the last to leave just after 02:00 the next morning, Vanessa recalled.

The couple spent their honey-moon at 5-star Dinarobin Hotel in Mauritius. According to Vanessa the highlight was hiking up Le Monde Blabant, a world heritage site.

They are based in Hout Bay and spend about five months a year travelling abroad. Home is Cape Town, though, she concluded.

Grade 6 and 7 learners of Mitchell House par-ticipated in the school’s inaugural Science Fair last Wednesday. Parents of the learners also attended the fair that, according to science educator and adjudicator of the projects, Kerry Spratt, intended to give learners an oppor-tunity to showcase their scientific skills and encourage them to pursue careers in science.

Among the projects submitted was that of Grade 7 learner, Husnaa Dada who put to test well known liquid antiseptics for domestic use to find out which is most effective in killing bacteria and germs.

Grade 6 learners Fulu Managa and Andy Koma mixed a carbonated cola soft drink and milk to prove that milk will separate when an acidic liquid is added to it. The duo further showed that the specific cola soft drink contains phosphoric acid which denatures the protein present in milk.

Another pair of Grade 6 learners, Lebo Ma-teta and Tamika Marnitz made water evaporate

by using sodium polyacrylate, also known as waterlock, a chemical that can absorb as much as 200 to 300 times its mass in water.

Director of Marketing at the School, Achsah Phoshoko said following the success of the inaugural fair they hope to make it an annual event. She also said that the names of the learners who exhibited the best projects in both grades will be announced in due course.

A fter attending his first Pietersburg Japanese Karate Association (JKA)

Karate Club training session in 1989, karateka Thebogo Costly Maoto graduated to 2nd Dan black belt at a provincial grading session held in Modimolle over the weekend.

The President of the South African JKA, Jannie Roets (7th Dan) was part of the judging panel to test the would-be grad-uates in a series of gruelling basic, kata and kumite catego-ries. The pre-grading session lasted for up to three hours and Maoto, who is a traffic officer based in Mogwadi (formerly Dendron) travelled three times a week to Polokwane in order to attend training sessions leading up to the grading process.

Maoto graduated for his first black belt in 2011 under Sensei Piet van Rensburg, the owner of Pietersburg JKA Karate Club, who said Maoto is a dedicated karateka who has to travel for up to 140 km twice a week for training. Van Rensburg added that he is always on time and sets a good example to the other members of the club.

After success-fully graduating to 2nd Dan on Saturday, Maoto said he is extremely proud and happy that all the tough training over the years has finally borne fruit. He will now aim for his 3rd Dan, which he hopes to achieve in three years time. Maoto also won a bronze medal in ku-mite at the South African JKA Championships in Johannesburg earlier this year.

Second defeat for Limpopo ImpalasWARREN BLUNT>>[email protected]

Three ducks from the Limpopo Impalas top order batsmen contributed towards Mpumalanga defeating the Impalas by six wickets in their Cricket South Africa (CSA) Rural League 50-over match in White River on Saturday.

The hosts won the toss and sent the Impalas in to bat first on a tricky pitch for batting. The decision proved to be correct and the Impalas were all out for 142 runs after 36,5 overs. The only Impalas batsmen to score mean-ingful runs were Isaac Senetla (25), Ruan Willemse (30), Don Radebe (18) and captain, Henk Holtzhausen, who ended undefeated with 37 runs from 36 balls including seven fours.

Four Impala batsmen scored ducks to add to the team’s woes. Mpuma-langa bowlers, Ashley Methula (4/13 after 6 overs) and Leo Mthombeni (3/15 after 7, 5 overs) were the chief destroyers for the home side.

Mpumalanga chased down the win-ning total in 28, 2 overs for the loss of four wickets for a well- deserved victory. The Impalas have now lost both CSA Rural League matches in the 2014/15 cricket season and will have to quickly get back to winning ways in order to qualify for the CSA Rural Cricket Week that will be held in February next year at a venue still to be decided.

The class of 2014 for Computer Literacy at the Mitchell House outreach programme for disadvantaged members of the community graduated on Saturday with everybody receiv-ing their certificates and enjoying a delicious breakfast afterwards.

Mitchell House educator Daniel Sempe has been running the programme for the past 11 years and expressed his delight with the lat-est graduates in Computer Literacy. All of the 42 graduates from the programme will pass

on their new found computer skills to other members in their respective communities. The graduates are from the Ga-Mashashane, Se-shego and Moletjie areas and travelled every Saturday during the year to attend the course.

Speaking to the graduates, Mitchell House Headmaster Andrew Cook said the school likes to share their excellent facilities with those less privileged.

“To whom much is given a lot is expected in return and it is a pleasure to see the joy on the faces of those that received their certifi-cates today in basic computer skills that is vital in modern society,” Cook said.

Toddlers at Jungle Tots Play Group held their year-end concert last Thursday when they entertained parents and friends in their colourful costumes and painted fac-es. The theme of the concert was “In the jungle” and the stage was taken over by hunters on the lookout for the elephant, kangaroos, leopard and smaller animals that hid behind the multi-coloured trees and flowers. Patricia Niemand, Deputy Head of Jungle Tots, said the 90 toddlers really looked forward to the event and could not wait to show-off their costumes to the audience of about 250 people.

Stanford Lake College’s Grade 12 learners kept to longstanding tradition on their last day of school. Among the customs observed

was during their final assembly when they left their school shoes behind as they crossed the stage for the last time.

Maleke joined the school in 1977 from Sekhukhune Primary School and since then her focus was to make Sebokela a reputable primary school in the area.

“It was a great 36 years of service. I enjoyed teaching and leading the learners and the educators. When I came here I was just new and I feared the unknown. The principal’s post was just too big for me, but with the help of my teachers and the community I enjoyed the position and tackled every challenge that came with it with ease,” Maleke recalled.

Maleke said she is going to miss the relationship she established with learners, the student governing body, educators and the community. “I have created specials relation-ship with the educators and learners for the past years and that is something I will forever treasure,” Maleke said.

She plans to enjoy retirement with her family, especially her grandchildren and want to get involved in community projects. “I am going to be involved in community projects right here in Mabokelele,” she said.

Another long serving educator at the school, Makgomo Rakoma described Maleke as an educator and principal who gave her all during her tenure. “When I came here in 1981, I had just graduated and I didn’t know much

about teaching. I just loved the profession. She taught me teaching in its entirety and she was not jealous and selfish. She had a good relationship with the community, the parents and her subordinates and those traits made her a great teacher,” Rakoma said.

Trinity Primary School on Monday announced their new leaders for grades 6 and 7 for the 2015 academic year at the school.

The elected leaders pledged to show respect to their teachers and fellow students, always uphold integrity and be fair and just in the execution of their task.

They also promised to work in synergy with one another towards their common goals and

to have courage to face challenges and commit themselves to excellence in everything they do while upholding the rules and values of the school.

Headmaster Charmaine Botha said they are happy to have chosen the specific group of learners to lead the school next year. “We wish them the best of luck in their new role. We believe they will strive to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit and by doing so set an example for others as disciples and instrument of Jesus Christ,” Botha said.

The Grade 8 learners at PEPPS College spent a busy Friday afternoon picking up the litter on the Makhado/Mokopane bypass between Dorp and Church streets to create more awareness on keeping the environment around the city clean and tidy.

PEPPS are an eco-school and pride themselves on recy-cling paper, plastic and tins on their premises and all the learners are taught to take care of the environment around them. However, the Grade 8 learners had their eyes opened when they noticed all

the litter and rubbish lying on the side of the road at the busy bypass.

After filling all the litter bags to capacity the site looked a lot cleaner, but unless the attitude from the general public in regard to litter does not change, all their efforts will be in vain as passersby indiscriminately throw their litter on the side of the road to create an unsightly mess.

The Sapinda Rainbow Foundation launched their national search to select eight young South Africans aged 18 to

23 years to participate in the 2015/16 edition of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race at a media briefing in Johannesburg last Tuesday.

The selection process will be overseen by previous participants including Lazaros Tshiko-vhi from Thohoyandou, who was part of the crew that sailed on Invest Africa from Australia to China in the seventh leg in the last edition of the race. The aim of the race is to develop young community leaders of the future and the ambassadors will raise international awareness and funds for the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital through their participation in the race.

Tshikovhi encouraged young people in Limpopo to apply for the race as it changed his life in many ways. He learnt all about the intricacies of sailing on an ocean racing yacht and met people from all over the world. “I really care about helping people less fortunate than myself and the funds raised during our journey went to a good cause towards the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital,” Tshikovhi commented.

Another contestant who previously had a fear of water, 22-year-old Meadowlands, Sowe-to resident Lebalang Molobele also encouraged other young people to apply for the opportu-nity to be selected for the next Clipper Race. “I never dreamed I would be able to sail, but the experience has changed my life and I am now working with the Sapinda Rainbow Foundation and want to inspire other young people,” Molobele said.

The Chairperson for the Sapinda Rainbow Foundation, Dirk van Daele participated in the 2009/10 edition of the Clipper Race and was impressed by a similar development programme with young people from challenging backgrounds in Eu-rope. He was inspired to bring the concept to South Africa and launched the Sapinda Rainbow project in April 2013.

Nomination forms for candidates for the 2015/16 project are available online at www.sapindarainbow.com and the closing date for applications is on 15 December. Shortlisted candidates will attend a selection weekend in Durban at the end of February 2015. The final eight candidates and two reserves will attend training at the Clipper base in Portsmouth, England in April and May

next year. The racing fleet will depart in Eng-land in August 2015 and return in July 2016. It is anticipated that the race will visit South Africa in October 2015.

The Eagles Cricket Club hosted Nkowankowa Cricket Club in a Premier League Cricket fixture at

the Polokwane Cricket Club A-field on Sunday in a low scoring match on a difficult batting pitch.

Eagles batted first and could only manage to score 129 all out with Bradley Pieterse top scoring with 27 runs on a pitch which gave a lot of as-sistance to the bowlers. Nkowankowa

scored 131 in reply during their first innings with Tlangi Moswane scor-ing 50 runs for the visitors. He had some luck on his side as a catch was dropped by the Eagles fielder with his score on three.

Waldi Kampher bowled magnifi-cently for the Eagles to take 5/35 in eight overs. Both teams could not complete their second innings and Nkowankowa collected four points for their lead after the first innings while Eagles had to be satisfied with a point from the match.

On the B-field Seshego Cricket Club beat Aces Cricket Club on their first innings score after the match ended in a draw. Seshego were bowled out for 173 in their first innings, with Aces only managing to score 149 all out in reply to give Seshego a lead of 24 runs. In their second innings Seshego declared with the score at 101/2, with Amir Bux scoring an aggressive unbeaten 50 runs off only 29 balls. Aces replied with 90/5 when play was ended by the umpires as dusk was descending.

Polokwane City Football Club senior player, Vukile Mngqibisa has attributed to the influence of

seasoned Serbian mentor Kosta Papic for their recent back-to-back victories against Super Sport United and Free State Stars.

Papic joined the team in Septem-ber from Chippa United and since his arrival the team has been in scintil-lating form defeating top of the table teams like Bidvest Wits and Free State Stars.

“We struggled at the beginning of the season but since he came he turned things around. He is very professional;

the players have responded well to his method of coaching, hence the results. When he came here we were 15th on the ladder and we are now in 12th position which is a huge improvement,” Mngqibisa said. He added that their focus is to do well against Kaizer Chiefs whom they will take on at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on 25 November.

“They are tough opponents and beat us last season, but things have changed now we have a new coach who has coached the club before and understands South African football, we are going to give them a run for their money,” Mngqibisa said.

He also reiterated it is important for them to win more matches in the first round of the league than force points

in the second round because the league will be tough by then.

“That is a lesson we learnt from last season, we left everything until late and that mistake nearly cost us our spot in the league. We want to win everything now because all the teams will be vying for maximum points in the second round. We want to finish in a respectable position and for us to achieve that we must win matches,” Mngqibisa said

Meanwhile the club has promoted two of its development players, Bhe-kuthando Mmema and Sibusiso Msibi to the first team after their impressed during the Multichoice Diski Challenge, the reserve league of the Premier Soc-cer League.

When Kgaugelo Thaba was introduced to the school hockey team four years ago he had no idea that he would

become his school’s top hockey player.Kgaugelo, a Grade 7 pupil at Laerskool

Ivypark was named Hockey Player of the Year at the school’s merit awards ceremony last Thursday. He said the award came as a surprise given the little experience he has in the sport. “I have always wanted to play hockey but I didn’t know how to. When we were growing up we were not exposed to sporting codes other than soccer but when I came here I said to my parents that I want to give hockey a try and since then I have never looked back. The coaches taught me everything from holding the stick to striking the ball and I fell in love with the game,” Kgaugelo said.

Since then he became a regular in the school’s first team scoring crucial goals and helping the team to win friendly matches. He also described hockey as a fun and very social sport which can be played by anyone. “It is not as difficult as people think. It is actually a lot of fun and I am enjoying it,” he said.

That Kgaugelo is an all-rounder when it comes to sport was confirmed by the fact that he was also named Soccer Player of the Year and Sports Boy of the Year at the same event.

He dedicated the awards to his parents Masile and Winnie Thaba whom he says

have been very supportive throughout the years. “When I heard my name being called on stage I could think of no-one else but my mom and dad. After all their sacrifices, the love and support they showed me, the awards were just a perfect way of extending my gratitude to them, Kgaugelo said.

He has aspirations of playing for Orlando Pirates and English Premiership giants Chel-sea some day. “Pirates is my favourite local team and on the international front I follow Chelsea. I think the two teams have the same ambition. Chelsea won the Champions league in 2012 and Pirates won all the cup competitions in the South African league and Confederations of African Football Cham-pions league in 1995. That on its own is a huge achievement,” he enthused.

Kgaugelo is currently writing his final exams and preparing for life in high school. “It has been a great seven years of learning and self development and it is time to move on and see what high school has in store for us,” he said and added that he plans to continue playing both sports in high school.

Asked what he is going to miss about Laerskool Ivypark he said the sports activi-ties, the educators, class mates, the warm environment and the level of professionalism.

“I was captain in every sport I played. I want to thank the school for giving me those responsibilities. People must believe in you to give leadership roles and I want to thank the teachers for having faith in me and I made a promise to them that I will represent the school well wherever I head to next year.”
