Seven people, including five young children, were killed in the umpteenth bus accident on local roads during the past few years, when a bus ferrying pre-schoolers overturned on a steep hill early last Thursday morning at Tshithuthuni Village in the Nzhelele area.

The deceasead are Ms Sarah Denga (60), Phathutshedzo Phaswana (20), Mulalo Mudau (4), Orifha Singo (3), Sedzani Nthambeleni (4), Ronaldo Phaswana (4) and Thingahangwi Ma-dada (4).

About 80 people were injured, some of them crit-ically. The bus was transporting the pre-schoolers to Pretoria for an educational tour when the acci-dent took place. The owner of Khakhu Pre-school, Mr Jeffrey Mudau, said the entire community was extremely shocked by the incident. Mudau said that, after they had gathered for school assembly, they hugged each and bade the tour group farewell after a prayer session, “not knowing what the future was holding for us. We did not know that, hours later, the whole community would be weeping...” He said the affected children’s parents had agreed to close the school until the situation had returned to normal to allow for a period of mourning.

W/O Edward Tharaga of the Siloam SAPS said

that there was speculation that the bus’s brakes had failed. “A culpable homicide case has been opened,” he added. The MEC for Roads and Transport, Ms Pinky Kekana, and the MEC for Education, Mr Namane Masemola, have sent mes-sages of condolence to the families of the deceased. Kekana and Masemola will meet with bus operators and taxi associations on October 6, to discuss the safe transporting of pupils.

Mr Edward Randima, deputy-chairperson of the Khakhu-Makuleni Territorial Council, said although the families, friends and community ac-cepted what had happened, they would not forget the horrific deaths that had robbbed them of their friends. A representative of the families, Emmanuel Denga, said that the families had accepted the loss, although it was difficult to cope without them. “It also important to acknowledge the community sup-port since we received the bad news,” he said.

A spokesperson stated that any assistance from the side of the community to the affected families would be most welcome and greatly appreciated. Those who want to assit can contact Makonde Net-shia at 082 0958 156. A mass funeral will be held at Khakhu-Makuleni sports grounds tommorow (Saturday), starting at 08:00.

Tragedy hits pre-school

The community of Muraleni cleaned all the streets and the graveyard during a campaign organised by the villagers on Sunday morning.

The Grade 1 class of Ms Jeanette Vallenduuk of the Ridgeway Independent School outside Louis Trichardt generously collected food for Heaven Sent Nursery School’s food cupboard that helps to feed needy children. Ms Nettie Geerdts of Heaven Sent and a group of children came over to Ridgeway on September 22 to fetch the food. The Grade 1s can be seen at the back , while the little ones from Heaven Sent are in the front and waving.

The prevalence of the HIV/Aids in rural com-munities has led to the mushrooming of home-based care projects. One such project is Nne na Vhone Home-based Care (loosely translated as "Me and You" in Venda).

Started in 2006 at Malonga-Tshimbupfe in the Vuwani area, the project has become a beacon of hope to the local rural community. The project is comprised of 16 women, all of them volunteers. The dedicated women deal with issues such as HIV/Aids, TB and diabetes, and carry out home vis-its to patients and en-courage patients to use their medication.

The project has re-ceived funding from

private organizations like ABSA bank and the Wheat Women's Trust Fund, who sponsored them with R25 000 and R5 000 respectively.

The project manager, Ms Matodzi Mulaudzi, said the project was started out of the need to assist the local villagers with access to medi-cal care. "Our village, like other parts of the country, is ravaged by the scourge of HIVAids and other diseases. The local clinic is located at the adjacent Davhana and most of our people cannot walk there. We wanted to bring care to patients' doorsteps, and we are committed to do-ing this to the best of our abilities,” she said.

She said many pa-tients did not follow the instructions given them at the clinic and as car-ers they were there to see to it that the patients used their medication correctly. She said they also washed patients and helped bandage them and cooked for them because some were too weak to do things on their own.

Sometimes the group invites nurses from the clinic and have door-to-door campaigns where they make villagers aware of diseases. "We are doing the best we can for our communi-ties, but we could do more if we had enough money. Because of

budgetary constraints, we are only able to real-ize part of our plans. We need funding to do this,” she said.

She said the com-munity was very appre-ciative of their services and they had a good working relationship with the Davhana clinic, which gave them sup-port every time they needed it. They also cite the good relationship they have with the local traditional leader, Chief Mpfariseni Makhuvha, as being instrumental in their success.

“We are very thank-ful for what our spon-sors, ABSA and Wheat Women's Trust Fund have done for us.

We are overstretched, and had it not been for their support, we would not have been able to assist these patients. As for ourselves, we are real volunteers as we do not earn anything,” she said. They have big plans for the project, but these will not be real-ized if a sponsor does not come forth and bail them out.

T h e g r o u p a l s o thanked the local Gospel Revival Church under Pastor Maemu Mbedzi for offering them shel-ter. Those willing to assist the project can do so by contacting Ms Matodzi Mulaudzi at 072 130 9068 or Ms Thabelo Mukwevho at 076 034 5729.

Help for home based care?

Zimbabwean police at Beit Bridge have arrested a group of six sus-pects, among them two local sol-diers, for allegedly robbing a sus-pected smuggler of several boxes at gunpoint.

The value of the cigarettes is esti-mated at US$19 800.

The incident occurred at the com-plainant’s homestead in Makavhani village outside Beit Bridge.

According to the police, one of the soldiers, Godknows Ngwenya, was shot in the thigh during a shoot-out with police detectives. Ngwenya is now recuperating in the Beit Bridge District Hospital, under police guard.

Ngwenya and Lawrence Munkuli, both aged 26 and members of the Zimbabwe National Army stationed

at One Independence barracks in the border town, Fannie Bako (20), Elton Kundai (22), Aurther Nyathi (23) and Morris Changachirere (30), were not asked to plead to armed robbery charges when they appeared before a local magistrate, Mrs Auxillia Chium-buru on Monday.

The case was postponed to October 6, and they remain in custody.

The prosecutor, Mr Reason Mu-timba, said on 19 September at around 19:00, the accused persons confered with Tawanda Chiwewe, who is still at large. They then teamed up and went to the victim’s homestead after they got information that he was in possession of several boxes of ciga-rettes, which he allegedly intended to smuggle into South Africa.

The accused persons, who were

travelling in a Mazda bakkie and a Toyota Vitz, drove to the victim’s homestead.

The court heard that, on arrival, Bako and Sibanda introduced them-selves as police detectives during which time Ngwenya pulled out an AK47 rifle and pointed the firearm at the complainant. The accused then loaded the boxes of cigarettes, which were being kept at the homestead, into their vehicles and drove to a nearby bush, where they hid them.

The court heard that the accused later took the cigarettes to a local fuel depot guardroom, which was being guarded by Munkuli. Acting on a tip-off, police went to the depot and found the accused persons offloading the contraband. Ngwenya opened fire on the detectives, resulting in his being shot once in the thigh and leading to his arrest. The other ac-cused persons were arrested two days later and 132 boxes of cigarettes were recovered.

Zim soldiers arrested for robbing suspected smugglers

Women around the Sinthumule area picketed outside the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate's Court on Monday.

The man who allegedly killed his wife by hitting her over the head, Jackson "Tshilikiliki" Tshisimba (40), appeared in the

Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate's Court on Monday, facing a charge of murder. The case was postponed to 11 October for a

bail application.Tshisimba allegedly killed his

wife, the 47-year-old Ms Annah Ratshilumela, by hitting her on

the head with an axe at Ravele village last month. During his court appearance earlier this week, women from around Sinthumule area picketed outside the court, demanding that the suspect be denied bail. Pinky Mukwevho, one of the women who protested outside, said the victim had been involved in a love affair with another man. Ac-cording to her, Tshisimba pleaded with the woman not to reject him. An argument allegedly broke out between the two when Ratshilumela returned from work on August 23. She was killed and her body was left lying on the ground.

Mr Moses Maphaga,a local civic secretary, said they were fed-up with the continuing spiral of crime in their locality. “We need to stand up as a commu-nity and speak out against this heinous crime. We have to make this area a no-go area for criminals, so that they will not have anywhere to hide. Together with our traditional leader, the police and our neigh-bouring villages, we can bring about a meaningful change in our community,” he said.

Outcry as murder suspect Jackson Tshisimba appears in court Victims

About eighty people were injured in the accident at at Tshithuthuni Village in the Nzhelele area last Thursday morning. In our photographs are three of the injured (from above): Tshilidzi Makokwe, Thabelo Muthelo and Konanani Mavhonzhe.

Makhado Municipality took top honours during a greenery competition that was held in Thohoyandou two weeks ago for being the cleanest town in the Vhembe District. Other municipalities who took part were Mutale, Thulamela and Musina. As part of the prize, the Makhado Municipality was also awarded R25 000. After the ceremony, the mayor, Cllr Mavhungu Luruli, praised the technical staff for their dedication and hard work and urged them to keep up the good work for the provincial competition. From left are Mayor Luruli, Cllrs Nehemia Madzhiga, Percy Balibali and David Mutavhatsindi.

Vhembe’s Chief Whip encourages pupils to studyAs boy who grew up attending shools in the rural area, Vhembe’s Chief Whip, Cllr Tshif-hiwa Dali, knows how tough it is for learners to go beyond Grade 12.

His early years were shaped at Nzhelele, Tshiendeulu, Dzata and Mphephu School. He has been an educator, a referee and is also a well-known politician.

He, together with some friends, recently vis-ited his former school, Dzata Secondary School in the Nzhelele area. They motivated learners to pull up their socks in order to pass at the end of the year. The entourage also left two soccer kits, for ladies’ and for men’s teams.

“We are not here to guarantee you passes. We felt that as the year draws to a close and exams approach, you need a boost. We cannot tell you now that you are all going to pass at the end of the year, but this will depend on your working extra hard in preparing for your examinations,” said Dali.

He said he was well aware of the situation in rural areas and the hardships they came accross in their day-to-day lives. He added that he felt indebted to his former schools and thought that ploughing back in the form of motivating his brothers and sisters as they approached their exams was the best thing to do.

“Learners are confused now and they need direction. They need a shoulder to lean on and this cannot only be left to educators and parents. All community stakeholders should join hands for the sake of learners,” he said.

He told the learners to give their all to their studies and forget all the pleasures of the world. “You have very little time left and it is up to you to make it or break it; the future is in your hands,” he said.

Is it the end of the road for Makhado FM?A big question people are ask-ing themselves is whether or not it is the end of the road for the community radio station, Makhado FM. This follows after the sheriff of the court in Louis Trichardt attached the equipment in possession of Luonde Media Resources, the not-for-profit organisation that runs Makhado FM.

That the radio station is expe-riencing financial problems has been evident for quite some time. Rumours of unpaid bills have been circulating and even the municipality was questioned on their practice to allow the station to go into arrears without cutting off the electricity.

The sale in execution has been ordered by the owner of the premises where Makhado FM has been operating. Apparently the owner, Mr Petrus Janse van Rensburg, grew tired of waiting for the radio station to pay him the rent that is due. He did not want to comment much on the issue when phoned this week, but did admit that the outstand-ing amount is substantial. “I have been carrying them for three years, but I simply cannot do it any longer,” he said. His pleas fell on deaf ears and he had no other option than to resort to a legal route to get the money owed to him.

In notices that appeared in newspapers the past two weeks, it shows that the sheriff had at-

tached equipment such as office furniture, television sets, comput-ers, sound mixers, microphones, speakers and editing equipment. The goods are to come under the hammer on October 19.

Mr Mavhungu Makatu, who deals with consumer education and awareness at ICASA, said this week that he was not aware of the matter. Mr Makatu is also the person responsible for all community radio stations in Limpopo. He said that he had vis-ited the station recently and was aware of the fact that there were many challenges facing the sta-tion. “I am, however, not aware of the fact that the equipment was attached by the sheriff, following the summons,” he said.

Makatu said that if the equip-ment was sold at auction, it meant that whoever was responsible for the running of the station would be held accountable.

Several presenters and news-readers had left Makhado FM in the past months, claiming a complete lack of transparency at the station.

Others, who spoke to Mirror on condition of anonymity, said that the station manager, Mr Moses Muneri, behaved as if he owned the station.

“The problem is that people do not know that they have the right to know how the station is being run. It is a community radio station and every member of the community has the right to know

what is going on at that radio station,” they said. This is the case because taxpayers’ money is used to establish a community radio station.

When contacted for comment on Monday, Mr Muneri stated he had no knowledge of the sum-mons. He asked to be called the following day, as he was busy in a meeting.

Last year Zoutnet, a company that ran the Makoya 7-11 show on Makhado FM’s frequency, pulled out of a deal they had with the station. The company stated that it could not do business with an entity where a complete lack of transparency was present. At that stage, Luonde Media Resources had yet again not submitted audited financial state-ments or held an annual general meeting to which all stakehold-ers were invited. Rather than get embroiled in a murky deal, the company opted to pull out and close its broadcasting unit.

Community radio stations are obliged by law to interact with members of the community and get their input on the running of the station. They are accountable to the communities which they serve. Section 21 companies, such as Luonde Media resources, are also obliged to have annual general meetings to which all stakeholders are invited and, during such meetings, audited financial statements must be presented.

Vhuyani hayani Limpopo!Ri toda ndivho yanu na tshenzhemo!

Vuyani Ekaya Limpopo!Hi lava vutivi na vuswikoti bya wena!

Livhuwani Sigogo once gave up on the justice system after a case of theft against him was postponed for more than two years.

Today, Sigogo (44), of Vu-wani is singing the praises of the same department, following a "rare" sentence made by the Vuwani Magistrate Court in the same case. On September 14, the magistrate sentenced Muk-wevho Maphili to 12 months' imprisonmet, with an option of a R2 500 fine, which was suspend-ed for three years. On top of that,

Maphili was instructed to pay R1 500 cash to the same court before September 30.

The money, which is compen-sation to Sigogo for his stolen phone, will be collected by Sigo-go from the clerk of the court.

This comes after an incident that happened on April 24, 2009, when Mapholi stole Sigogo's cell-phone from his car at the Vuwani complex.

In his comment over this rul-ing, Sigogo said: "I am over the moon about the court's ruling. To be honest, I never expected

it. I am grateful for the manner in which the court made its ruling. There was a time when I thought the suspect would not be found guilty because his mother, Ms Doreen Muthambi, who was his witness in court, defended him.

"As a disabled person, I never thought I was safe in my com-munity. Now I have a totally different view about the justice system after this ruling. I am grateful to everybody who was involved in the whole process," said a happy Sigogo, who is wheelchair-bound.

Victim praises court for “good ruling”Oscar Ratshilingani.

Oscar Ratshilingani was a happy, healthy boy when he went to a private doctor in Louis Tri-chardt in 2009 to be circumcised. His life then changed dramatically, as complications set in and the 11-year-old boy from Rathidili village outside Louis Trichardt started battling urinary problems.

When Oscar had to urinate, the flow was from underneath his penis, instead of the right way via the proper opening. His dreams and hopes became shat-tered. This problem also affected his social life, and nowadays this Grade 5 pupil hardly plays with other boys.

His mother, Musandi-

wa, resorted to using baby nappies on Oscar every time he goes to school. “It all started two days after the circumcision process. When I complained to the doctor after realising that my boy was no longer peeing the right way, she told me I was not cleaning his wounds properly,” she said.

Musandiwa added that she took the situation lightly at first, but realised it was more serious when the problems continued. “I had to use plastic bags, so that he could not wet his clothes. This is because I sometimes cannot afford to buy nappies as an unemployed mother," she explained.

The mother was then advised to take her son to the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital, where he was transferred to the provincial hospital in Polok-wane. There he was hospitalised from October 26 to November 26 last year. "He could not even write his exams at school,” said Musandiwa.

She added that she is now struggling as she did not even have money to take him to the hospital for check-ups. “I ended up borrowing money from the loan sharks, thinking he would get better, but to no avail. I am now struggling to pay back the money,” said Musandiwa. Her husband, Michael, only depends on temporary jobs.

Oscar no longer plays his favourite sport, soccer, as a result. He said that it is often painful when he walks. “Other children laugh at me at school and it is very hard for me to cope under these circum-stances,” said Oscar.

“I am afraid that this problem might ruin his fu-ture, because I don’t think his private parts will ever function properly,” said Musandiwa. She appealed to anyone who may be able to assist the family to please contact them. Those who want to assist Oscar can contact his family at 076 9760 962.

Help needed for unhappy Oscar (11)

Going for the kill: hawker Elisa Mundalamo says customers are getting used to their businesses at the temporary rank. Here she is seen assisting one of her new customers.

Stakeholders have hailed the construction of the new taxi rank next to Eskom's offices in Thohoyandou as a develop-ment that will improve their lives.

Phase one of the construction of the more than half-a-billion-rand inter-modal development facility in Thohoyandou started in earnest on Thursday. The fa-cility will house taxis to Vhufuli, Tshakhuma, and Tshilamba.

The first phase of this devel-opment comprises a three-storey taxi rank complex which is earmarked to be completed in eight months.

To give way to contrac-tors, taxis to Tshakhuma, Tshilamba,Vhufuli and Vuwani have been temporarily housed at Zwavhavhili, next to the Thu-lamela municipal offices.

Hawkers who had stalls at the old rank were also allocated stalls at the temporary rank. By Friday, the area was a hive of activity, with tractors moving in and personnel who were about to start their work.

Many unemployed people

from the surrounding villages stood waiting for any employ-ment opportunity that might arise.

Nndwamato Tshiila, Thu-lamela's municipal spokesper-son, says all systems are in place for the major development. “We have started, and we can safely say all stakeholders are excited about this development. We have apportioned all our hawkers spacious trading stalls at our temporary rank and they are happy about it. Even taxi owners are happy that they will soon have an improved rank,” he said.

He said he was happy about the discipline displayed by the hawkers, who were all licence holders. “We are enjoying maxi-mum cooperation from both hawkers and taxi operators. We have erected signs to be fol-lowed and our officers will be out in full force to enforce the rules,” said Tshiila.

He said the second phase of the development would be the construction of the bus rank at Spar.

Vhembe District Taxi Council secretary Mr Azwihangwisi Ts-hithukhe said they were excited about the new development. He said that they were happy that the municipality did not take a unilateral decision but involved them through consultation.

The move to the temporary rank is also a boost for hawk-ers, who say they are reap-ing the rewards. Hawker Elisa Mundalamo said the move was paying dividends. Mundalamo (56) of Tsianda, who sells fruit, said she was happy that all who were at the old taxi rank were apportioned spaces at the tem-porary rank.

“Customers are becoming used to this place. We have been at this rank for two days, but we are already taking something to our homes,” she said. She said with the passing of time, busi-ness was very promising as the rank was not far from offices and shops. She added she was happy that they were given sheltered stalls, which would protect them as the rains were approaching.

Stakeholders excited about taxi rank

Mr Wilson Makaukau.

A wheelchair-bound pensioner who stays alone yearns for a better life and there is only one thing that will provide it, namely an electric wheelchair.

Although this 75-year-old pensioner, Mr Wilson Makaukau, was given a wheelchair by the Depart-ment of Health two years ago, he is finding it hard to move from one place to another because it is heavy and he is weak.

Makaukau, a resident of Malamulele, explains that he knows very well that life cannot be a bed of roses at his age, but with the wheelchair he is using, life is not pleasant at all.

This pensioner, who was never married, is stay-ing alone in a township house given to him by his sister, who is staying in Johannesburg. “To move around, someone must push me and in a township, it is not easy to come across someone who can do that. I sometimes give some people tips from my pension grant to be pushed to pension points and to the old age home where I must go every day,” he said.

Makaukau says he fell ill more than 50 years ago and he went to Elim hospital for treatment. He has been disabled ever since.

Out of his pension grant he has employed a woman who cooks for him and washes his clothes. “But she cannot do everything. To go to the toilet with the wheelchair I am using is a big deal,” he says. Every morning he must go to the old age home in Malamulele, which looks after old people in the area. The project manager at Hlamalani Mala-

mulele Care for the Aged, Mr Siphiwe Shirinda, knows of Makaukau’s plight.

“We look after him, but we have no money to buy him an electric wheelchair. Each time he comes to the project, someone must push him and there is only one man who usually helps him,” he says.

Disabled pensioner pleads for help

Staff of Old Mutual and representatives of Life Care Centre in Thohoyandou as well as dignitaries pose for a photo during the handing over of the blankets.

To celebrate international Mandela Day, staff at Old Mutual started collecting blan-kets to give to the needy. The insurance giant then offered to double the number of blankets collected by staff.

In Thohoyandou, this worked out very well for a local service organisation when Old Mu-tual handed over 64 blankets last Wednesday. This blanket-collec-tion initiative was spearheaded by Old Mutual's Ernest Ungulani. The blankets were handed over to the Hope of Nations Church in Muledane to be utilized in their Life Care Centre project.

Mrs Dzhivhuwo, the secretary of the Life Care Centre, wel-comed Old Mutual's effort and expressed their gratitude for the gesture. Mr Mantshimuli spoke on behalf of Old Mutual and said that there were many organisa-tions which were considered to receive the blankets. "The Life Care Centre, however, was selected as we could relate to its commitment in making a differ-ence in other peoples’ lives."

Pastor Tshabuse, the founder of the Life Care Centre, thanked Old Mutual for their outstanding work and community involve-ment. He shared how the Life

Care Centre vision came about, saying that it was born from the Hope of Nations Church some three years ago and has been growing ever since.

He mentioned that they now had 33 boys aged between 10 and 18, some of whom are top students in their schools.

He singled out Tonderai, who is the best pupil in Grade 11 at Dimane High School. He indi-cated that this would encourage the boys and he said that he hoped that Old Mutual would continue to assist the centre in making a difference in the lives of the boys.

Former Tshisimani College of Education rector Happy Epraim Takalani Ramakh-anya, who received his doc-toral degree in curriculum studies from the University of Venda over the weekend, says his degree is relevant to his scope of work and will benefit educators.

Ramakhanya, who recently tied the knot with Makhado Mayor Mavhungu Luruli, is the centre manager at Makhado Continuing Professional De-velopment Centre. He was one of the more than 500 students who received their degrees, diplomas and certificates dur-ing the September graduation ceremony held on Friday at the university’s auditorium.

The chancellor of the Univer-

sity of Venda, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, attended the event. A total of 48 certifi-cates, 17 diplomas, 422 under-graduate degrees, 45 honours, 18 masters and 4 doctorate degrees were awarded.

In his remarks, Univen Vice-Chancellor Prof Peter Mbati said he was excited to announce that close consultations between Univen and the Minister of De-partment of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzi-mande, were bearing fruit. He said the minister had approved new enrolment and efficiency targets for the university. Clear targets of the university’s con-tribution in scarce skills areas, including engineering, life and physical sciences, human health and initial teacher education will

be enumerated.“Our postgraduate outputs at

Masters- and PhD-level have also been considerably jacked up,” he added. “As part of our differentiation strategy, we have plans to grow in areas of engi-neering and human health sci-ences. We must also strengthen the areas of rural development and poverty alleviation, indig-enous knowledge systems and African languages,” he said.

Ramakhanya said as an edu-cationist, he had observed the difficulties faced by teachers and pupils at schools over the years. “As a centre here we are tasked with the training of educators in commercial sub-jects in the whole province and I feel that my research will give solutions to educators.

Doctor’s degree for Happy Ramakhanya

Dr Happy Ramakhanya receives acknowledgement from the highest government offices. Congratulating him are, from left, Univen´s principal, Prof Peter Mbati, Univen Chancellor Deputy-President Kgalema Motlanthe and Ramakhanya´s wife, Mavhungu Luruli-Ramakhanya, the mayor of the Makhado Municipality.

found that educators are failing in assessing their learners for effec-tive teaching, because they are using the old methods and not using the new ones which are learner-centred,” he said.

The degree took him four years of part-time study. “It was not easy, but worthwhile. With the skills that I have acquired, I will now apply my knowledge with confidence, and this is not the end. I will be writing articles for Univen,” he said.

Four armed robbers descended on the Roman Catholic Church in Beit Bridge and robbed the local priest of US$2 000, R4 000 and two laptop comput-ers at gunpoint.

According to the priest, Father Jules Greber, the incident oc-curred last Thursday evening, shortly before midnight.

He said the suspects, two of whom were wielding rifles, forced the locked door open and demanded money. They did not, however, harm the priest. “I was asleep when I heard some noise emanating from the main door. When I got up, four men con-fronted me. They ordered me not shout amid threats to shoot me and grabbed two laptops, US$2 000 and R4 000 and disappeared into the darkness,” Greber said.

The suspects found their way into the church premises after cutting the fence and creating an opening. Local police spokesper-

son Chief Supt Lawrence Chin-hengo confirmed the incident, saying investigations were still underway.

The latest incident comes hot on the heels of a similar case in the border town in which the Beit Bridge Rural District Council lost US$200 000 when three unknown suspects pounced on a security guard manning the local authority’s premises. The armed robbers blindfolded the security guard and handcuffed him at gunpoint before they broke into the strong room and made off with the cash.

The suspects are also still at large. Meanwhile, police in Beit Bridge have intensified patrols along the Beit Bridge-Masvingo and Beit Bridge-Bulawayo high-way, following an increase in the number of robbery cases. Chinhengo said the patrols were aimed at flushing out criminals operating along the highways

and mainly targeting trucks and foreign motorists at laybye points and rail crossings. “We are ex-periencing a problem of robbery cases occurring along our major highways. It looks like the sus-pects, who operate as a syndicate, normally target trucks and South African-registered cars as they slow down at rail crossings or stop at laybye points, where they then pounce on them,” he said.

Chinhengo said they had since deployed police officers to the criminal hot spots. “We also want to urge motorists, particularly those travelling at night, to be wary of these highway robbers. We have also intensified our pa-trols,” he said. Last week, police arrested three suspects believed to be linked to a syndicate. The suspects were caught while in the process of stealing from a South African haulage truck and goods worth thousands of rands were recovered.

Roman Catholic priest robbed at gunpoint

Two Beit Bridge men were each sentenced to an effective nine years in jail for stealing 47 cat-tle from a local businessman, Mr Edison Mbedzi.

Wonder Sibanda (30), an ex-employee of Mbedzi, together with an accomplice, Rodgers Sibanda (40), pleaded not guilty to a charge of stock theft. They were, however, convicted by a local magistrate, Mrs Auxillia

Chiumburu, on the strength of evidence provided by the State.

The prosecutor, Mr Reason Mutimba, told the court that between 2007 and 2009, Sithole was employed by Mbedzi as a herdsman at Bargree Farm near Bubi outside Beit Bridge. He had the responsibility of taking care of the complainant’s property, including livestock.

The court heard that in 2007,

Sithole drove 47 cattle to his ac-complice’s place with a view of sharing the loot. The issue came to light in August 2009 when Mbedzi carried out an audit of his cattle, leading to the discovery of the offence.

The matter was then reported to the police and the two men were subsequently arrested. Some of the stolen cattle were not recovered.

Eight local veterinary students left for Kenya this month to study for a six-year BSc Veterinary Science degree at the University of Nairobi.

Five students, four women and a male student, left on Monday for their first year of studies. Muofhe Nemulodi, one of the female students, says she is excited to have been selected as one of the bursary recipi-

ents. “I can’t wait to land in Kenya and make it my home for the next five years,” she said while waiting for her plane at OR Tambo International Airport.

Three students who are already at mas-ter's level will depart on Sunday.

The Limpopo Department of Agricul-ture (LDA) has been sending students to study BSc Veterinary Science at the

University of Nairobi since 2008, due to the high demand for veterinarians in Limpopo.

Only the University of Pretoria (UP) offers such a qualification in South Africa. The UP can only offer limited space and hence this endeavour. The LDA hopes this will benefit Limpopo and the country at large.

Local veterinary students to study in Kenya

Some of the Correctional Services staff and stakeholders who attended the campaign at Vuwani.

A former inmate at the Thohoyandou Correctional Centre, Mr Edward Mashaba, made an impassioned plea to government and community to give ex-offenders a second chance when they are released from prison.

Mashaba, who hails from Levubu and served 10 years in prison, gave a moving testimony during the social reintegration campaign by the community correction section of the correctional services. The event, attended by different stakeholders, included among others, justice, SAPS, Nicro, Sanco, Vuwani Correctional Services Forum, traditional leaders, a ward councillor and community mem-bers. It was held at Vuwani Town Hall on Thursday.

Stakeholders had the opportunity to make their contributions and also to ask questions.

Kenneth Muleba, the Assistant Director at Community Correc-tions, said it had become necessary for them as correctional services to interact with different stakeholders in order to make them aware of how they work and for them to give their own inputs as to how things should be run in dealing with ex-offenders.

“We have a mandate to look after offenders, correct them while in prison and, when they are released, we should work out the best way to assist ex-prisoners,

to make the best of their lives after their release. This is a mammoth task, and we feel we will not succeed alone. We need all stakeholders to come on board," he said.

He said ex-prisoners had a negative stigma that seemed to follow them even after serving their sentences, which should be gotten rid of. “Prisoners are people like ourselves. They have made their mistakes but paid their dues in prison. Let us re-gard them as reformed beings and help reintergrate them into society. It is our responsibility as a community to see this programme succeeding. Together, we can always do more,” he said.

Speaking at the function, Mashaba said when he went to prison in 2000, he did not even have matric, but worked hard and came out with several qualifications. “I did not even see the big 2000 floods as I was sentenced in that year. Ten years later,

I am outside and having to face a lot of challenges,” he said. He said there were difficult times in prison and he did not enjoy a moment of his stay there.

“I am celebrating my freedom since I was released last year, and one thing that I realized in prison is that the best way to achieve a better life is through education. That is why I decided to study part time, and I am proud to tell you that I now have matric and many qualifications,” he said.

“Give us encouragement; as ex-offend-ers, we have much to offer our communi-ties. We have paid our dues,” he said.

Mashaba is presently employed as a human resource manager for a security company.

Pastor David Ramusandiwa, the deputy chairperson of the Vhembe Parole Board, called on all stakeholders to join hands in the reintegration of ex-offenders.

“Please accept us and give us equal opportunities”

The provincial Police Commis-sioner, Lt-Gen Amon Mashigo, retired this week after he had served the police service for 30 years. He was bidden farewell in Polokwane on Monday.

He spent his last year in the SAPS as the Provincial Commis-sioner of Limpopo, after having been redeployed from the Free State last year.

The MEC for Safety and Secu-rity, Mr George Phadagi, wished Mashego well in his retirement. Phadagi depicted Mashego as a true and professional policeman, who had dedicated his life to the fight against crime.

“Lt-Gen Mashigo has not dis-appointed during his tenure as the Provincial Police Commissioner. The recently released the 2010/11 crime statistics bear witness to the good he has done for the peo-ple of Limpopo, in remarkably bringing down the provincial crime statistics. Limpopo has the lowest crime incidents compared

By Peter Muthambi

Provincial Commissioner Mashigo retiresto the other eight provinces,” said Phadagi. He added that crime syndicates which had been wreaking havoc in the Makhado, Thohoyandou and Polokwane policing area had been smashed.

According to Phadagi, a strong message has been sent to career criminals from other provinces that Limpopo cannot be their playground. “All these strides in our fight against crimi-nals have been made under the watch of Lt-Gen Mashego. It is therefore with a tinge of sadness that we today take leave of this crimebuster par excellence. On behalf of the government and the people of Limpopo, I thank him and wish him the best for the future,” he emphasized.

Phadagi said, however, that he was confident that Lt-Gen Mashigo’s successor would find a solid foundation “to build upon as we continue the fight against crime and criminality.” He said

that the process to find a perma-nent replacement for Mashigo was at an advanced stage and an official announcement would be made at the appropriate time.

Photographed during the event are, from left, Ms Bronwyn Green, Mayor Carol Phiri, Chief Whip of Musina Municipality Simon Madamalala and Cllr Eugene Khoza during the Rainbow Nation Clean-up Campaign at Musina a fortnight ago.

For the first time in the history of Musina, all residents of the town united in making their town a friendly and litter-free environment during the Rain-bow Nation Major Clean-Up Campaign a fortnight ago.

Approximately 300 enthusias-tic community members decided to put aside their personal com-mitments to form part of this historic event.

The target area was a canal next to Messina Post Office and the surrounding areas. Foreign nationals who came to apply for asylum also joined the cam-paign.

One of the coordinators of the event, Ms Bronwyn Green, said they had approached the munici-

pality about the idea of having continuous clean-up campaigns and Mayor Carol Phiri bought the idea. “The town belongs to all of us, and we are happy that the municipality is fully behind us,” said Green.

Phiri, who participated in the campaign, thanked everyone who had joined her. She said everyone had the duty to make Musina a beautiful town. “Musina is a small town that does not need to be dirty. Too many tourists pass through Musina every day. Cleanliness shows the beauty of a place. If we are clean and our town is dirty, it means we are all dirty. If we don’t clean our town, nobody will. A clean environ-ment is a human right. Cleaning

the environment means good health for human beings, plants and animals. Cleanness also re-duces climate change and global warming, and it also preserves natural resources.”

The mayor encouraged com-munity members to preserve and plant more trees because they are good for human life. “Trees absorb carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. In summer, trees provide shade and act as air conditioners, for they reduce the heat.

“Refer critically ill patients to doctors”The chairperson of traditional healers in the Mopani district, Frank Chauke, has advised tra-ditional doctors to send critical patients to medical doctors and not to wait too long with patients that they know they can’t heal.

Popularly known as Xikhavele, Chauke was speaking at a three-day conference by traditional healers, held at N’wamatatani village. The conference is a yearly event, aimed at encourag-ing members to share ideas and expertise on how to heal certain diseases. They also address challenges that they might have

encountered during the course of the year.

Speaking to guests from as far as Cape Town, Xikhavele urged fellow-healers not to stay too long with patients who have diseases that are beyond their ability to heal them. “Our aim is not only to get money, but to heal people as well,” he said.

“If you can’t treat a certain disease, just pass the patient over to those who can.” According to him, there are certain diseases that can’t be cured by traditional healers, “and that these diseases should be passed over to modern doctors,” as soon as detected, to

save the life of a patient.“For instance, we as traditional

healers can’t add water to the body of a patient. Therefore, every patient that needs water should be referred to the clinic or hospital as soon as possible. Don’t wait too long till the pa-tients reach a stage where they can’t be saved,” he said.

Asked on the issue of some traditional healers that are said to bewitch people or give clients concoctions meant to harm other people, Xikhavele stated that “those are not true healers, but individuals driven by greed to make money.”

Adv Samuel Makhari (35) installed as Chief Njhakanjhaka IIIHistory was made when a sen-ior prosecutor was officially in-stalled as chief of the Njhakan-jhaka area last Friday.

Adv Samuel Mkhari (35) was inaugurated as Chief Njhakan-jhaka III. He was inaugurated by a senior Vatsonga traditional

leader, John Xikundu of the Vanwanati clan.

Mkhari Njhakanjhaka III's in-auguration came after his father,

the late Hosinkulu Tsakani John Mkhari Njhakan-jhaka II, passed away last year.

Xikundu warned councillors that they were not Chiefs. He added that councillors should know their place and should know that they had not been voted into office to supervise the chief’s work. They must work with traditional leaders for the development of the community, he added.

Xikundu, who was doing the installation as the maternal grandfather of the new chief, said many councillors undermined traditional leaders. He also sent a message to the Mkhari family. “The man we are installing is not acting, but he is the real Chief,” he said.

Xikundu said that a throne was one and was meant for one person and the family would do well to know it. “It is not like a seat on a train which can be occupied by three people," he said.

In response, Premier Cassel Mathale urged tradi-tional leaders who experienced the wrong attitude from councillors to report such cases. He said that it was a known fact that the province was made up of areas under the rule of traditional leaders, and tribal offices were still used as centres to provide services to the people.

“Traditional leaders are the authority amongst our people and the architects of development,” said Mathale.

Workers of Shoprite in Sibasa celebrated Heritage Day by wearing traditional attire on Saturday.

Mr Cedric Sihlaku, a tour guide, relates the history of Mapungubwe to the tourists during their visit to the World Heritage Site.

While the rest of the country was commemorating Heritage Month, the Vhembe District Municipality hosted tourists who visited several tourists at-traction sites in the district.

The tour started on Tuesday (September 20) and ended with a cultural celebration on Sat-urday. Various cultural groups showcased their skills during the occassion.

The heritage sites that were visited included Mapungubwe, Thulamela in the Kruger Na-

tional Park, The Big Tree, Crooks Corner, Pafuri Camp and the Fundudzi Sacred Lake, Beit Bridge and the Mozambique border post.

According to Vhembe's Local Economic Development Of-ficer, Mr Tiyani Marivate, the tour was a way of marketing the district and all its heritage sites. "The tour is hosted annually to celebrate our history, values, norms and culture at the same time that we commemmorate heritage month," he said. Eighty

tourists, which included people from various parts of the SADC region, joined the tour. The par-ticipants included tour operators, tour guides, representatives from travel agencies, tour product de-velopers and journalists.

Mr Reginal Chapfunga, editor for the Diplomat Magazine in Zimbabwe, expressed his appre-ciation for attending the tour. "I am happy to be in South Africa, especially visiting a site like Mapungubwe, that is so rich in African history," he said.

Church news:

Limpopo Premier Cassel Matha le has urged the church to partner government in its war against poverty.

Matha le ,Thovhe le Toni Mphephu Ramabulana, MEC Pinkie Kekana, and mayors Mavhungu Luruli and Tshitereke Matibe were guests during cel-ebrations at the United African Apostolic Church headquarters at Ha-Mavhunga outside Louis Trichardt .

The event, which saw more than 20 bishops and thousands of the 1-million-strong Zionist church with members from all over Africa take part, took place on Sunday. After the arrival of other dignitaries, the congrega-tion erupted in ululations when the archbishop made a grand entry in an open Jeep. The sleepy rural village became wide awake when hundreds of buses and oth-er forms of transport descended on the traditional headquarters of one of the country’s few churches that have a real African flavour.

Mathale praised the church for their contribution towards the attainment of democracy in the country. He said the leadership of the ANC, led by Oliver Tambo, visited the church immediately after coming back from exile. “As government, we will con-tinue working with you,” said Mathale.

Mathale urged the church to work tirelessly towards the bet-terment of humanity. “We have declared a total onslaught on poverty and unemployment. We know that as a church you have always been a prospect partner from whom the unfortunate and disadvantaged draw hope,” he added.

Speaking at the same event, Thovhele Toni Mphephu urged congregants to continue sup-porting their leader and to pray for him that God will give him more years.

Before addressing the con-gregation, Archbishop Elias Miriri led guests, who included

premier Mathale and Thovhele Toni Mphephu, in the traditional Zionist dance.

Miriri made a clarion call to the youth to abstain from engaging in sex in the light of the rampaging HIV/Aids pandemic, which is threatening to tear communities apart. “The youth should dedicate their precious time and energy to their books; they should get educated in order to have decent jobs. Education is an inheritance that no one will take away from you; it will remain with you forever,” he said.

The national chairperson of the church, former professional soccer boss and businessman Peter Rabali, said they had such an occasion every year end. “We are here to pray for ourselves, leaders, politicians and other institutions. We are here to draw power and blessings. We need cooperation from other stake-holders that there be peace in the land. It is our duty as a church to pray for our leaders,” he said.

“Help government in fight against poverty”

A bishop dances with joy during the conference. The blue and white colours of the church were the order of the day.

Poor Grade 12 pupils from dif-ferent schools in the Limpopo’s Vhembe region were urged to work hard, so that they may pass with flying colours and benefit from the executive mayor’s bursary fund.

Grade 12 pupils are urged to work hardemphasis that it put on its edu-cation as education was the key for developmental realization of every body’s life.

During the seminar, represent-ative of the Department of Public Works Tshindane Thivhusiwi said more than 600 young people in the province were doing learn-erships in various field of study, such as brick-laying, plumbing

and carpentry, among others, as part of the expanded public works programme (EPWP). One of the Grade12 pupils in Thengwe Sec-ondary said the career exhibition was an eye-opener for her and other pupils.

The Vhembe District Municipality has set aside more than R3, 5 million to help poor Grade 12 pupils to fur-ther their studies at uni-versities and colleges. The district, in conjunc-tion with representatives from various depart-ments, universities, col-leges and companies, presented their bursaries and job opportunities to Grade 12s as part of an annual career exhibition of future careers.

The acting Vhembe executive mayor, Cllr Livhuwani Nesthipise, said Grade 12 learn-ers must take educa-tion seriously because every development of society and the country was measured by the

Operation Smile South Africa (OSSA) is calling on all pre-registrations from Limpopo for their upcoming surgical mission that will take place from November 2 to 29 later this year.

Founded in 2006, OSSA joined Operation Smile Inc. as its 25th partner country and is based in Cape Town. OSSA medical volunteers provide free surgeries to children and adults throughout Southern and Cen-tral Africa who were born with either a cleft lip or palate. This year, also their fifth anniversary, OSSA has teamed up with the Limpopo Provincial Ministry of Health in looking for patients in the province.

Cleft lips and palates are birth defects that occur early in a baby’s embryonic development. A cleft is an opening in the lip, roof, mouth or soft tissue in the back of the mouth and, in some cases, is accompanied by an opening in the bone of the up-per jaw or gums. A cleft palate occurs when the two sides of a palate do not come together, re-sulting in an opening in the roof of the mouth. Children with this type of facial deformity who do not receive the reconstructive surgery often have difficulty breathing, drinking, eating and speaking. This is apart from the ridicule that patients have to endure. A cleft palate or lip, however, can be fixed in 45

minutes by a plastic surgeon and paediatrician.

The surgical mission will take place in Klerksdorp and pre-registrations will help OSSA determine how many people are in need of corrective surgery.

During a surgical mission, a team of medical and non-medical volunteers will travel to the North West to provide the surgery. People who wish to be considered for the programme can pre-register before October 5 by calling OSSA’s toll-free number at 0800 21 20 26. For additional information, Tamlin Abrahams can be contacted on 021 481 9165 or via e-mail at [email protected].

Operation Smile is looking for patients

Two of the aggrieved operators Nelson Negondeni (left) and Nkhangweleni Ramabusha (right) with copies of recommendation letters from Thulamela. Some of the letters date back to 2007.

Operators want permanent employmentDespite the Nandoni Dam's bursting its seams, many sur-rounding rural communities are still faced with a severe water challenge.

Malamangwa-Tshamavhudzi outside Thohoyandou has not been spared. In an effort to ease the water challenge in the vil-lages, the local Thulamela Mu-nicipality supplied water pumps to the affected communities. The municipality provided supplied diesel for the machines, but communities had to operate the machines themselves.

Volunteers were chosen from amongst the community and were trained on how to operate and service the machines.

Nelson Negondeni is one of those who volunteered in 1993. Negondeni (52) and nine others

from Ward 39 (formerly Ward 22) in Thulamela have been serving the community for R900 each, which is a monthly contri-bution from the community.

According to them, they had been promised absorbtion by the municipality since 2007, but till now their fate is uncertain. Each time they ask about the matter, they are told to wait. “We have served our community, hoping that things will one day change for the better. We have waited for far too long. Imagine - from 1993 till today, without a decent salary and with a family and children to take to school.

Our situation is frustrating,” said Negondeni.

Negondeni, a family man with six children, said life had not been friendly to him as his family

can hardly survive on the measly grant he gets from the commu-nity. “We were so excited when Thulamela Municipality recom-mended that we be absorbed by the Vhembe District. We thought our lives would be better as we were going to be permanently employed, but it is now too long,” added Negondeni.

Nkhangweleni Ramabusha is equally dissappointed. The father of four said he was tired of waiting. “We have been waiting patiently for too long, but nothing seems to be coming our way. We have had many empty promises and we want the municipality to own up and absorb us, so that we become permanent employees. We are rendering an essential service and the lives of the com-munity are dependent on us,”

he said.Vhembe District Mu-

nicipality spokesperson Mr Matodzi Ralushai said there were proc-esses to be followed in the hiring of staff. He said the affected indi-viduals were working on a voluntary basis and the absorbtion recommen-dation were on humani-tarian grounds, in light of the fact that they had served the community for a long time.

“I do not know how far that process has gone but will find out and update you," said Ralushai.


After realising they needed to do something for themselves, a group of disabled people in the Lemana area came together to form a non-governmental or-ganisation, the Rivoni Society of the Disabled.

The organisation, which start-ed in 2004, looks after the men-tally handicapped, slow learners and hyperactive children. This organization is run by physically challenged people, who wanted to make a difference in disabled people’s lives. It operates at the Lemana Multipurpose Centre, where they pay a monthly fee

of R1 000.There are 95 disabled pupils at

the centre who are being taught sewing, welding, carpentry, pot-tery and gardening.

According to the project man-ager, Mr Rich Mbombi, the organisation is now faced with several huge challenges. “We do not have money to buy food for the children and also need money to buy equipment that the chil-dren need to use,” he said.

He added that water was also a serious challenge facing them. “We wrote letters to various government departments, as

well as the Makhado Municipal-ity, but nothing happened,” said Mbombi. He said they were now appealing to any good Samaritans who can help them. According to Mbombi, “Makhado Municipal-ity promised them things, which they never do for them.” The spokesperson for the Makhado Municipality, Louis Bobodi said he would conduct a thorough investigation in this regard. “We are ready to help the organisa-tion,” he said.

Anyone who wants to assist can contact Mbombi at 076 5244 396 or 083 7523 565.

Thohoyandou Beer Distributors at Shayandima is not only passionate about giving, they are also serious about safety at the work place. Not long ago, in conjucntion with Tops Thohoyandou, they donated beds and blankets to Life Care Centre, which is housed at Hope of All Nations at Muledane. They recently scooped two awards. For three years in a row, the company has maintained its five-star rating as graded by the National Occupation, Health and Safety Organisation (NOSA). It is the only business in Thohoyandou that obtained such an achievement. In the picture are members of the staff and management with their certificate and trophy. In addition, the depot has scooped the presitigious NOSA Top Companies Award in the Commercial Sector. Dheehnan Naidoo, one of the directors, says safety at the company is not an option, but an integral part of their psyche and they drive the protection of the health and safety of their employees and operations. He said he was also proud to announce that the depot had achieved highly and its rating far exceeded legislative requirements. The company is also a dedicated member of the Alcohol Responsible Association.

The Siminya family from Za-menkomste, Kutama, would like to thank all friends, rela-tives and members of the com-munity who supported them after the death of their mother, Mrs Thalitha Siminya, on Sep-

that you were there to give us the moral, spiritual, financial and other support that enabled us to give our mother a dignified burial.

Thank you and may God bless you - Matamela Mashige, Erna Mashamba, Erwin Si - min ya, Rosi Negota, Joyce Mu-laudzi, Emma Siminya, Taki Siminya and Livhuwani Sim-inya.

“Thank you for support” - Siminya family

The community of Matsakali in Malamulele is livid after a school principal was demoted for the alleged mismanage-ment of funds amounting to R105 000. They are especially upset because of the govern-ment’s silence on the question of whether the money should be paid back to the school or not.

Nozozo Vala, who was prin-cipal of Ntsako High School in Matsakali, was demoted a week ago to be the deputy principal of Tsundukani Primary School in Greenfarm, some 30 kilometres away.

The community was notified by the school governing body of the developments last Tuesday.

A circular from the department said Vala was demoted because she had been found guilty of the mismanagement of funds. It did not say anything about recouping the mismanaged funds.

The chairman of the school governing body, Joe Vukeya, confirmed that the community is angry.

“They have accepted her de-motion, but demand that she must pay back the money. This is what we are going to convey to the government,” said Vukeya.

He said after her demotion, a new management team was announced which was accepted by everybody. “But people are worried because the money in-

volved school fees paid by poor parents around 2005 and they even decided that if the govern-ment does not make her repay the money, they would sue her,” said Vukeya.

Vala refused to comment and said our reporter should be con-tent with the information pro-vided by the other sources. The spokesperson for the Department of Education, Pat Kgomo, con-firmed that Vala was found guilty of the mismanagement of funds and demoted.

On whether she was supposed to repay the money, he said he would first consult, but at the time of going to press he was still not clear on this issue.

Fined for attempting to smuggle wife into SAA 27-year-old Zimbabwean man from Nem-budziya utside Beit Bridge was sentenced to a fine of US$400 or 60 days in jail for attempting to smuggle his undocumented wife and sister-in-law into South Africa through the Beit Bridge Border Post.

Luckman Moyo was convicted on his own plea

of guilty of assisting border jumpers by a local magistrate, Mr Carrington Karidzagundi.

The court heard that on 20 September at around 16:00, Moyo entered Zimbabwe through Beit Bridge Border Post from South Africa. He then proceeded to his rural home, where he took his wife, Elementina Roveya, and sister-in-law Lucia Ny-athi, who had no travel documents, and went back to Beit Bridge. The court heard that, on arrival at the border, Moyo instructed Roveya and Nyathi to move ahead of him with the understanding that he would follow later. Moyo was to negotiate with the immigration officer and security guards manning the exit gate, so that they would facilitate the two women’s smooth passage into South Africa.

Moyo was arrested by alert local police officers who had been monitoring his movements at the border. Roveya and Nyathi were also intercepted and taken to the local immigration offices, where they were each fined US$10 for attempting to cross the border illegally.

Zimbabwe´s Hwananda Cultural Group during their performance in Louis Trichardt last Saturday.

Members of the Zimbabwe-based cultural group, Hwananda Group, were applauded by many for their outstanding performance during the cultural festival that was held at the Louis Trichardt Rugby Stadium last Saturday. This internationally known cultural group came into the country to form part of the Heritage Month celebrations.


Western Stars too good for Tshikota ChelseaWestern Stars outclassed Tshikota Chelsea 1-0 in a Safa Vhembe SAB league match at Tshikota on Sunday.

Stars showed a spirit of commitment from the

onset and victory was a well-deserved reward. Although Stars showed cohe-sion in all departments throughout the match, their striker, Robby Munon-oka’s performance was outstanding. Munonoka was everywhere, giving support to both his midfielders and making sure that his danger area was always clean.

The home team started to display rough skills, but the referee, Mr

Mpfariseni Musekwa, calmed the situation by flashing two yellow cards in quick succession. The players who were reprimanded were Chester Murwanthi and Hilton Tshivhula of Chelsea.

Stars were forced to effect an early change to their starting line-up. They replaced the injured Oscar Mafunisa with Mushoni Leaka.

No goal was scored in the first

performed the Dhine dance, a harvest cel-ebration dance as well as a Mbende dance that is danced by men and women.

A well-known Zimbabwean singer, Victor Kuroga, also performed during the festival.

The group has also performed in many countries that include China, Germany, Denmark, France, Algeria, Egypt and Norway.

Mr Linnot Limbo, a group leader, said that South Africa was a nice country and they wanted to come back to per-form. “The culture is interesting here. It is more interrelated to what we do in Zimbabwe, so we feel at home, away from home,” he added. He said that the Zimbabwean government contributed towards their travel costs when they went out to perform.

According to Lindi-we Makoni of the Zimbabwean Tourism Association, the group wanted to promote it-self in South Africa while at the same time celebrating their herit-age. “We realised that our culture is interre-lated with the Vhembe culture, so we decided to come and showcase our culture here,” she said.

S h e a d d e d t h a t the Vhembe cultural groups are also going to be invited to Zimbabwe for a week-long tourism exhibition in Harare that starts on October 8. The group that came into the country with a delegation of 20 people is based in Harare. It

half. In the second half, Chelsea created more chances but failed to convert them. Their only goal came in the 77th minute. Robby Mu-nonoka beat the offside trap and ran straight to the opponents’ keeper, Faith Ratombo, before sending him the wrong way.

After the goal, the boys from Madombidzha came back strongly, with their midfielders dishing telling passes to the frontrunners. Hilton Tshivhula of Chelsea was red-carded for a second bookable of-fence.

Chelsea should have equalised in the 82nd minute, but their de-mon-striker, Thabelo Tshikweta, shot wide with only keeper Hector Malange to beat.

Two soccer teams participating in the Safa Vhembe SAB League Stream E, Vleifontein United and Mailaskop Pull Together, each received a donation of two new soccer kits from Do Light Transport in Louis Trichardt. The value of the four new kits is about R20 000. Photographed during the event were, from left, Rofhiwa Musekwa (Vleifontein United), Andrew Kotani (Administration Manager of Do Light Transport), Canster Ramatshimbila (Mailaskop Pull Together) and Thomas Molefe (Transport committee).

The assistant coach of African Warriors, Mr Joel Masutha.

Last weekend was a joyful one for Dynamos. They deposited another three points into their league account. The Pride of Giyani beat Altie FC 3-0 in their NFD league match at the Sena-ba Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday.

Dynamos made their intentions clear from the first whistle. It was not surprising to see them open their account in the 17th minute. Their last two goals were scored in the last half.

FC Cape Town have good reason to celebrate. They beat Witbank Spurs 2-1 at the NNK Rugby Stadium in Cape Town. Spurs are now lying in

the second-last position on the log, following a string of poor results.

Mpumalanga Black Aces beat Bay United 2-1 at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank. The University of Pre-toria reclaimed their top spot, following a convincing 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rov-ers. Thanda Royal Zulu

beat Chippa United 2-1, while Sevutsa Stars drew 1-1 with Carara Kicks at the Kanyamazane Stadium.

Dynamos must beat African Warriors in order to remain in contention for the league champi-onship when the two sides meet at the Giyani Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The spirits are high in the camps of both Warriors and Dyna-mos, because they had successful results in last weekend's matches.

According to the assistant coach for Warriors, Mr Joel Masutha, Dynamos must not expect a walk in the park on Sunday. He sent a chilling warning to the Giyani team, saying they will be embarrassed to the bone if they take Warriors for granted. Masutha said that they had found a winning combination of late after losing their opening two league matches.

The other NFD fixtures this weekend are: Chippa United vs Atlie FC (tonight); Bay United vs Thanda Royal Zulu, Carara Kicks vs Vasco da Gama and Blackburn Rovers vs FC Cape Town (Saturday); FC AK vs University of Pretoria; United FC vs Sevutsa Stars and Witbank Spurs vs Mpumalanga Black Aces (Sunday).

Another good victory for Dynamos

Tshifhiwa Ravhudzulo of Vultures controls the ball

Mapuloni Highlanders registered their second victory for the season when they beat Phalama Young Vultures 1-0 in their SAB League match at the Phalama grounds on Sunday.

The result was not a true reflection of the game as Highlanders squandered numerous scoring op-portunities. In the first instance, their right flank, Gumani Mbulaheni, caused an upset when his volley missed the goal mouth in the eighth minute. Ndivhuwo Tshirundu committed a similar blunder moments thereafter. He dribbled past three Vultures defenders in a row and unleashed from outside the box. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the field of play.

Young Vultures threatened to score in the 24th minute. Their overlapping midfielder, Vhali Ma-khura, watched in disbelief as his well-struck volley missed the target by inches.

The home side effected the first change to their starting lineup nine minutes before the referee blew the half-time whistle. They introduced Takalani Mphephu for Gift Mudzunga, who was looking weary from the onset. No goal was seen during the first half, despite the fact that Highlanders were

continuously knocking on the opponents’ door.Young Vultures were reduced to 10 men early

in the second half. Simon Luvhengo was given his marching orders for hitting an opponent with a smack in the face. Highlanders capitalised on the setback and scored their much-awaited goal via Ndivhuwo Tshirundu, who blasted in a rocket from close range.

Highlanders managed to defend their lead until the final whistle was blown.

Narrow victory for Mapuloni Highlanders

The Hasivho Project donated a brand new soccer kit to the Davhana elderly soccer team. Photographed from left are Hasivho´s marketing manager, Mr Laurence Mabaso, Ms Johanna Makhubele, Mr Johannes Davhana (captain), Ms Thinavhuyo Makamu, Tshinakaho Makananise and the project manager, Ms Thilivhali Nemaungani.

"We want to keep healthy and strong at all times."

This was remarked by the happy grannies of Ha-Davhana village, who had formed a soccer team, Davhana Grannies Soccer Team. The grannies had been playing soccer in a tattered soccer kit for a very long time.

They could not believe their eyes when a local company handed them a brand new soc-cer kit and three soccer balls last week.

Hasivho Trading and Project brought hope to the enthusiastic grannies. According to the mar-keting manager, Mr Laurence

Mabaso, the donation was a way of giving back to the commu-nity. "We have been touched by the plight of the grannies, who seemed committed and dedicated to sports but lacked resources. We then decided to buy them a brand-new soccer kit and soccer balls," he said.

The team has 18 players and also challenges other granny teams in soccer matches. The team manager, Ms Thilivhali Nemaungani, said the team was a special project of the Davhana Society for the Care of the Aged, an NGO that looks after the elders in the village.

The organization was first established in 1998. The organi-zation currently has 31 elders at-tached to it. The centre manager, Ms Thilivhali Nemaungani, said the team was established with the aim of helping the elders to relieve stress and keep them healthy. "Exercise is very im-portant for the elders who spend most of their time sitting down-not doing anything," she said.

Mr Johannes Davhana, one of the elders and the captain of the team, said that he felt young again. "Excersising is really helping me a lot, and I also enjoy playing football," he added.

Polokwane Mayor Cllr Freddy Greaver, the Deputy Minister of Sports and Recreation, Gert Oosthuizen, the MEC for Sports, Arts and Culture, Joyce Mashamba, and Capricorn District Municipality Mayor Laurence Mapaulo were photographed during the event.

Polokwane will play host to the fifth and final South African Games, which will take place from October 2 to 8.

The opening of the Games will take place on October 1 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium and about 6 000 participants are expected to participate in the event.

The Games were officially launched on Thursday at the Fusion Boutique Hotel in Polok-wane. Youths between the ages of

13 and 19 years can participate. During this year's event, athletes will participate in 13 sporting codes, including, cricket, soccer, rugby, tennis, athletics, table tennis, swimming, boxing and hockey. The Deputy Minister of Sports and Recreation said dur-ing the launch that the aim of the games was to unearth talent in all the sporting codes.

“We are mainly focusing on sports stars, especially those

coming from the rural areas and those living with disabilities. We want to see them making it big and representing the country at international level,” said Oost-huizen.

The MEC for Sports, Arts and Culture, Ms Joyce Mashamba, said Limpopo did not only wish to host the most successful SA Games, but also wanted to top the list of medals at the end of the tournament.

Black Leopards failed to collect maxi-mum points against Maritzburg United, with whom they played to goalless draw in their Absa Premiership League match at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Saturday.

The Leopards’ keeper, Postnet Omony, was a star to watch throughout the tough game. He made his presence felt in the ninth minute when he miraculously sprang like a well-oiled machine to punch Byron Hendrieks’ volley away for a corner kick.

Leopards took the game to the visitors as the game progressed. Their Zimbabwean in-ternational, King-ston Nkhatha, shot wide

after a scramble within the box, much to the disappointment of the team’s fans.

The Leopards’ technical staff was forced to effect a change to their starting lineup against their will in the 26th minute. Kingston Nkhatha sustained a knee injury and was replaced with the Malawian inter-national, Grant Lungu. The visitors from the Kwazulu Natal replaced Wayne Matle with Michael Morton towards the end of the first half.

Lidoda Duvha were by far the better side throughout the last half, but

Lady Luck was not on their side. Their killer-striker, Rodney Ram-

agalela, realized that it was not his day when he went loose and shot wide from the edge of the penalty box in the 67th minute. Leopards later replaced Tiyani Mabunda with Edgar Manaka in a bid to strengthen their midfield.

Manaka combined well with Dave Banda and Mongezi Bobe in the middle of the park. The referee, Robert Sithole, reprimanded Rheece Evans of United with a card, following a late tackle on Kwena

in the dying minutes.
