THE family of Paseka Maamoge (12)pleads with whoever might have takentheir son to return him to them, or givethem a clue about where he can befound.Paseka, a learner of the Retlameleng

Special School in Galeshewe, is deafand has a speech problem.He went missing on Saturday (18/04).

This is the day on which some of thecommunity members in Lerato Parklast saw him.The community has started a search

for the child, who is known to manypeople in the area due to his willing-ness to help everyone out.According to Paseka’s mother, Gladys

Maamoge (40), she last saw her sonplaying at a nearby tuck shop onSaturday.“After he had left to play as usual I

took a bath and went to visit a friendin my neighbourhood,” Maamogesaid.“I passed him playing in front of the

tuck shop. That is one of the few placeshe spends most of his time away fromschool.”She said she did not have a problem

with that, because he had befriendedthe owners of the shop who had usuallychatted and laughed with her son, alsogiving him sweets and chips.“I only spent about five minutes at

my friend’s place, then returned homebecause I was not feeling well.”According to Maamoge, she started

getting worried when her son did notcome home at 17:00 as usual.“It also bothered me that he never

came home to eat in the afternoon asusual. He does not usually go far.“I took his younger sister and went

looking for him at all the places that hefrequents.”The family became anxious when the

father, James Louw (40), arrived fromwork at 20:00 and Paseka was stillnowhere to be seen.“My first question was, ‘Where is

Paseka?’ when I returned home and didnot find him sitting at the door asusual, waiting for me,” said Louw.The family said they had opened a

missing person’s case at the Roodepan

Police Station, but that they were stillwaiting for the case number.By the time of going to print Lt. Sergio

Kock confirmed that a case of a missingperson had been registered at the Roode-park Police Station. He confirmed that thecase was under investigation.At Paseka’s home in Lerato Park,

the family pleads with anyone whomight have taken Paseka to return himhome.“He is just an innocent child and is

disabled. He does not deserve to beharmed,” added his emotional mother.“If you have him, please bring him

back, even if you can drop him off at thestreet corner and inform us, we willappreciate it,” said Paseka’s auntDimakatso Chabalala.The local Community Policing Forum

(CPF) also pledged its support in findingthe child.“We do not know the plans of whoever

took him, but we will do anything in ourpower to support the family in finding thechild,” said Tebogo Seele, a member of theCPF.One of the owners of the tuck shop,

Mohiuwd Ahmed, said he and his brotherwere both sad over the boy’s disappea-rance.“My brother even cried, because we love

him. He is our neighbour, so we will assistin searching for him,” Ahmed said.

IT remains to be seen whetherthe Deputy Minister (DM) ofCooperative Governance andTraditional Affairs (COGTA),Obed Bapela, was really bringinggood news or just filling theKhoisan community with falsehope.During a press conference at

the Department of CooperativeGovernance, Human Settlementand Traditional Affairs (COGH-STA) on Friday, the DM madethe announcement that theTraditional Khoisan AffairsAmendment Bill was at anadministration stage.According to Bapela, the bill,

that would allow the Khoisanlanguage to be recognised as anofficial language, would hopeful-ly be promulgated before the endof this year.“We hope that the president

can cast the bill into law byNovember or December,” addedBapela.The traditional leaders were

further urged to promote thehome languages that are disap-pearing due to the children beingtaken to the wrong schoolswhere their national identity(mother tongue) is not recog-nised.The Khoisan leader in the

Northern Cape, Denzel Katyara,also hoped that the bill would befinalised this time.“We are happy that the

leadership came to address usagain.” He said that he hopedthat it would be passed this year.“We will just be waiting patient-

ly until the bill is passed,” headded.According to Katyara, it was

not the first time that they hadengaged with ministers aroundthe bill.“We have been waiting for our

acknowledgement for a longtime.“The DM said he hoped we

would not hope too much. So wewill just see when the timecomes, and be patient.“Our communities will also be

disappointed as we believehoping is not enough.“We really pray that it will

happen this time.”) According to the DM, tradi-tional leaders are also key tohelping government in restoringubuntu in the nation.“Ubuntu is a form of helpingsociety look at foreigners asfellow human beings and stopattacking them.”He urged the traditional

leadership to unite and to send amessage of ubuntu wheneverthey engaged with communities.They must inform government ifthere are any wrongs in society,instead of addressing the issuespersonally.

THE Department of Agriculture, LandReform and Rural Development isreported to have spent R46,5 million onthe development in Heuningvlei, Loopengand Madibeng Fencing Projects.

The MEC for Agriculture, Land Reformand Rural Development, Norman Shushu,revealed this during the handing over ofcamps to the Heuningvlei community inthe John Taolo Gaetsewe District Munici-pality earlier this month (10/04).

Shushu said the project was aimed atproviding support to farmers and for thesustainable and effective use of agricultur-al natural resources.

The department reported that the projecthad been undertaken in conjunction andin consultation with the various communi-ties.

According to the department, thehandover of camps was expected to bringa sigh of relief to farmers.

It is believed that the project wouldhelp in curbing livestock theft, in reduc-ing road accidents caused by stray animalsand in bringing about an improvement offacilities.

Shushu further stated that a lot of workhad gone into addressing the needs ofsmall holder farmers as identified duringthe department’s first engagement in 2009.

The initiation project, which is in itsfirst phase resulted in 13 farms coveringan area of about 64 094 ha being fenced.

“It involved not only fencing of camps,but provision of water reticulation infra-structure, erection of pens, dipping tanks,loading zones, buffer reservoirs anddrinking troughs.

“Phase two involved the development

of 9 312 ha of the farms Burnley andBurford and involved the constructionof a 72 km water pipeline, 11 bufferreservoirs and 36 drinking troughs.

“A total of R6 million was madeavailable for the erection of 143 km ofborder fencing and a further R6 millionfor the erection of internal fencesthrough the National Fencing Scheme.

“This part of the project was targetedat the Harrow, Ashfield and Darnal farmswithin this municipality,” added the MEC.

Highlighting how the project boostedjob creation in the district, Shushuelaborated: “We have spent R9,5 millionfor the Loopeng Fencing Project covering284 km (Cahar, Mothantanyaneng, Tweedand Leinster), creating an incredible 377jobs in the process.

“The Ba ga Bareki Fencing Projectreceived R12 million for the erection of266 kilometers of fencing for the Ashfield,Darnal and Harrow Farms and 87 jobswere created.

“The John Taolo Gaetsewe FencingProject received R4,9 million for fencingcovering 123 km for the Greenwich,Battlemond, Kilokilo, Gamorona, Nether-way, Ditshipeng and Glenred areas. Thisled to the creation of 100 jobs.

“This is a total of R26,4 million creating564 jobs.

“In addition to this, we also spentR46,5 million on the development of thewater reticulation infrastructure inHeuningvlei, Loopeng and Madibeng.

“We are here today to hand over thefarms to the different beneficiaries,which showcases the work that wecontinue to do as a government to worktogether with our farmers, in movingSouth Africa forward.”

The Azanian Peo-

strates that betterthan the current sagaabout statues, and

the land issue, ofcourse.

Surely the time hascome for the countryto appraise thismuch-vaunted free-dom.

Much like pruningan offending tree in-stead of removing itcompletely, the sys-tem, that has ensuredthat the last 21 yearshave brought “big”but merely cosmeticchanges in our coun-try, remains intact.

Theneed to removethe statues remind-ing us of what wewould rather forgetgoes, and will contin-ue to go, a long wayin undoing the psy-chological damagevisited on the blacksection of the coun-try.

Our support for theremoval of the eye-sores that are thestatues goes with ourlong-standing call forchanging the name ofour country to Aza-nia, to mark a totalbreak with the past.

CHARGES against Karibuni SecurityServices’ boss, Motsamai Petrus Rantho,were withdrawn on Friday (17/04).Rantho was the last remaining accused

in the tender fraud case that was heard inthe Kimberley Regional Court.This followed after charges against the

four suspects from the Department ofRoads and Public Works had been with-drawn on Monday, 13 April.The five suspects (four of the Department

of Roads and Public Works and Rantho)were investigated by the Hawks in thecase which involved payments for ghostworkers by the Department of Roads andPublic Works to Karibuni Security Servi-ces.The department reportedly submitted

invoices during March 2006 to December2010 for security at sites that did not exist.The value of these payments wereR491 664 20,55.The five suspects were charged with

fraud, corruption, money laundering andsection 86 of the Public Finance Manage-ment Act. According to Col. PriscillaNaidu, a meeting was held on 31 Marchbetween the police, Assets Forfeiture Unit,Department of Roads and Public Works aswell as National Treasury where discus-sions, with much deliberation, led to the

decision that Rantho pay back the amountof R15 million.“Discussions were held and it was

proposed because all the parties were inagreement that it was the only and bestpossible chance of recovering the lost

funds which had been misappropriated.Rantho did not plead on any of thecharges,” said Naidu.

provide bulk services as the custodian ofthe Integrated Development Plan.According to Kumba, the clinic was

constructed by a locally appointed BlackEconomic Empowerment (BEE) jointventure (contractors Blu Ink and PNEArtisan) and a total of 92 jobs were createdduring the construction phase.The chief executive of Kumba Iron Ore,

Norman Mbazima, said during the openingthat the primary health care centre wouldhelp relieve the strain on the existinghealth care services.“It will also reduce the distance current-

ly travelled by patients to find medicalassistance, as the centre will provideante-natal, post-natal, HTC and TB servi-ces.”Explaining that the new clinic formed

part of a broader development in which thecompany was investing in new houses forits employees around its Kolomela Mine,the CEO said they were also constructingaccommodation for key medical personnelfor the centre, to ensure that skilledpersonnel were attracted and retained.Oumatjie Sebastia (54), who was spotted

queuing for her grandson’s TB medication,

expressed her frustration at the endlessqueuing since the clinic had been movedfrom operating inside the hospital.“It is difficult for us to share the joy of

the officials because they still do notunderstand what we at ground level aregoing through.“One spends the whole day sitting on the

benches due to the short-staffed new clinic.“It does not even make a difference

whether you come at 05:00 or later.“If you are lucky you will find two

nurses, sometimes you find only one. Wespend the whole day here,” added Sebastia,another patient.Rating the new clinic as one of the top

four ideal clinics around the province, theMEC of Health, Mack Jack, praised thecollaboration between the private and thepublic sector for such an achievement.He promised to ensure that government

delivered on its commitment to deliverquality health-care to it communities.Jack highlighted the Northern Cape’s

continued challenge of shortage of healthprofessionals.This, he said, was due to the low number

of learners who chose to study PhysicalScience and Mathematics.The MEC emphasised the importance of

giving support to the Henrietta StockdaleNursing College, which trains and equipsnurses in Kimberley.“We need to produce our own nurses.“We cannot keep importing health

professionals from other provinces; they donot last here,” he said.“We need to change our strategy of

importing health professionals.”He admitted that the province had been

importing health professionals due to nothaving enough professionals.“We need to uphold health standards by

keeping the facility clean,” he said,addressing the staff and the patients.The clinic is expected to be renamed in

due course.

NOG ’n ekonomiese inspuiting wag opdie Noord-Kaap met bouwerk aan dienuwe gekonsentreerde-sonkragaanlegby Postmasburg wat vanjaar begin.Volgens die ontwikkelaars, die

Amerikaanse groep SolarReserve enACWA Power, gaan die 100 MW-aanleggenoeg krag opwek om meer as 200 000huise te voorsien.Dit sal die eerste gekonsentreerde-

sonkragaanleg in Suid-Afrika wees watenergieberging met gesmelte soutbenut.Die aanleg sal elektrisiteit vir 12 uur

se lewering kan berg sodat hy dag ennag krag kan lewer.Die projek, genaamd Redstone, was

een van die suksesvolle bieërs in diederde ronde van die departement vanenergie se groenkrag-aankoopprogram.Weens vertragings by Eskom met

die koppeling van nuwe hernubareenergieprojekte aan sy netwerk, is diteen van talle projekte wat nie onmid-dellik met bouwerk sal kan begin nieen daar word nog gewag op die finalefinansiële goedkeurings.Die ontwikkelaars is luidens ’n

verklaring vol moed dat hulle teen2018 krag sal kan opwek.Kevin Smith, uitvoerende hoof van

SolarReserve, sê danksy die kragber-gingsverFrmoë kan die aanleg net soos’n steenkool- of kernkragsentrale krag

op aanvraag voorsien, maar sonderbesoedeling of gevaarlike afvalmateriaal.Volgens hom is die prys waarteen

Eskom krag van die aanleg koop, dielaagste tot dusver van enige gekonsen-treerde-sonkragaanleg in Suid-Afrika.Gekonsentreerde-sonkrag-pryse vir dié

ronde was minder as R1,70 per kWh, dusnog heelwat duurder as die prysewaarteen Eskom wind- en sonkragaankoop – wat in die derde ronde alminder as R1 per kWh is, luidens diedepartement van energie.SolarReserve het ook die fotovoltaïese

sonkragprojekte, Lesedi en Jasper, vanonderskeidelik 75 MW en 96 MW ontwik-kel.Die Redstone-projek sal langs dié

aanlegte gebou word. ACWA Power hetdie Bokpoort-gekonsentreerde-sonkragaan-leg van 50 MW naby Groblershoopontwikkel.

Die ekonomiese voordele vir dieNoord-Kaap sluit in:) Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye salR2,4 miljard in die projek belê. Banke sallenings van R5,6 miljard voorsien.) Meer as R6 miljard se inkomstebelas-ting kan oor die eerste 20 jaar van dieprojek tot die staatskas bygedra word.) Werkskepping: Meer as 4 000 regstreek-se en nie-regstreekse poste kan in diekonstruksiefase geskep word.Tussen 60 en 70 mense sal die aanleg

bedryf.

THE appointment of a specialtask-team led by the director-gen-eral of the Department ofMinerals and Energy in theprovince, David Mtshiza, to dealwith irregularities concerningmining and service delivery inPostmasburg, is on the cards.The promise to set up a task

team was made by the ministerof Mineral Resources, Adv.Ngoako Ramatlhodi, during aMining Imbizo held in themining town two weeks ago.Ramatlhodi promised to

monitor the operations of themines in and around thecommunities of Postmasburg andthat his department wouldintervene in the allocation ofmining licences in the provincewhere necessary.This followed complaints that

were raised concerning themines, from which the communi-ties claimed not to benefit.

The community of Maremane,just outside Postmasburg, gaveemotional accounts of theirliving conditions. They com-plained about not having basicservices like clean water andtoilets.“I feel a lot of pain when I

hear the issues and conditionsthat the community, especially ofMaremane, live under while theyhave mines, which they aresupposed to benefit from,operating on their land,” saidthe minister.He suggested that a task team

be set up by government to doresearch and find solutions tothe problems in the area.Thetask team must be instructed tofind ways in which the commu-nity can be assisted.“The task team should also

assist you in the appointment ofa new CPA (Communal PropertyAssociation) team. I have heardcomplaints that members of theCPA tend to forget about their

communities once they areelected. They need to be marriedto the democratic processes,”added Ramatlhodi.Regarding complaints of the

fraudulent issuing of mininglicences, the minister said thatthe DG of the department was incharge of issuing prospectinglicences. Complaints were alsoraised about the Kimberley officeof the Department of Mineralsand Energy.“That office has a rotten

reputation when it comes toassistance. We never get anykind of assistance after travel-ling so far to Kimberley. Theseofficials are too comfortable intheir offices to assist people likeus,” said one angry communitymember.“If the response to your

mining application does notmake sense, then you arewelcome to lodge an appealwith the minister’s office,” saidthe minister.

Concerns raised

MEMBERS of the community of Postmasburg listening attentively duringthe mining imbizo.

the leading African experts onfootball development.With the competition having

kicked off last month, Ntseki willmore than likely be attendingsome of the regional matchesacross the country.“We have identified the

creation of development pro-grammes as a crucial focus forthe coming years, and each andevery one has an important roleto play in helping us unearththose players with national teampotential,” said the former coachof Harmony Academy andBloemfontein Celtic.“We need to get them into the
