The people have opted to be served by Waterval.
Transport leads to Waterval and its cumbersome to

Klipfontein; Beafort to fall under Vuwani as the
community has considered viability . Mashau
community is half way Vuwani and halfway
Waterval. Our community is aligned to Vuwani
for business. Transport to Waterval is a problem as
the have to get to Vuwani first before going to
Waterval. The following area:
Barani; Valdezia- Gwarani is policed by
Waterval SAPS must therefore fall under Waterval
7. Hlanganani
Mpheni closer to Hlanganani; Junami is 3kms to
Waterval; Maila- Vleifontein is 40kms to Vuwani
and less than 10 to Waterval; Valdezia is closer to

Court
The meeting was attended by A/DCO, SAPS,
Legal Aid, Acting Sub-Cluster Head-Modimolle,
ACM, Court Manager, and the Farming
Community, and the Secretariat of the RCC.
The purpose of the meeting was to get the view of
the community on the Recommendations of the RCC that Tuinplaas be excised from Modimolle
and be included in the Mookgopong Magisterial
districts as if falls within Mookgopong Municipal
Boundaries.
The view of the Community
The Chairperson of the Tuinplaas Agri-Forum
mentioned that the distance from Tuinplaas to
Modimolle is 20KM and the state of the road to
Mookgopong is in a bad condition hence there has
been a lot of accident on the road. The bad state of the road was also confirmed by
members of the RCC who travelled through that
road to the meeting.
It was further raised that the farmers have access
to transport towards Modimolle.
SAPS also submitted that there is an existing route
for public transport to Modimolle in a single ride
thus there are enough taxis from Malebitsa that
passes Tuinplaas to Modimolle , unlike to
Minutes of the meetings to
be submitted by Agri-
Tuinplaas for record purpose
and for confirmation
It was resolved that
Tuinplaas Periodical Court
should remain under
Modimolle as opposed to the
recommendation that it
should be under
Mookgopong
Page 21 of 42
Mookgopong which takes one taxi to
Mookgopong which might delayed Court times-
thus there a single taxi that comes from
Marapyane to Mookgopong.
SAPS also serve bigger area towards Modimolle.
80% of the farms are closer to Modimolle but
appears to be nearer on the maps towards
Mookgopong. SAPS also submitted that there are no holding
cells and therefore it will mean prisoners and
detainees will have to be transported to
Mookgopong, which will be a costing exercise
It was raised as well that even in terms of Medical
Facilities Mookgopong will send them to
Mokopane which is further 60 KM and as such
these will be costly for the farming workers.
Modimolle has Medical Facilities.
LEGAL AID submitted that there is not enough
statistics that will warrant the appointment of
permanent Legal Aid Practitioner for Tuinplaas

better served by Thohoyandou or Tshaulu as the Periodical Court which is a walking distance from the villages. Transport fares from Malamulele is R38.00 whereas to Thohoyandou is R30.00.

15 July 08 Mulenzhe Traditional Council Offices
The meeting was attended by the Traditional Council and the RCC was represented by the Sub cluster Head- Thohoyandou and Malamulele, the Chair person and the Secretariat. The view of the Community: The community met on the 20
th June.
Khakhangwa and Dobeni villages constitute the entire Mulenzhe area. We are currently falling
It was resolved that the area will remain under Thohoyandou Magistrate Court
Page 27 of 42
under Thohoyandou. We have no complaint about services offered in Thohoyandou. All the community structures agreed that there will be no debate about the decision taken. Dividing the Chief’s area by taking Dobeni and Khakhangwe to Malamulele will disadvantage the community as there are no direct taxis to Malamulele from the area. People board to Thohoyandou and thereafter to Malamulele. It will be costly for them to go to Malamulele Thohoyandou SAPS is policing the area and has a satellite police station in the area. The area has 15 villages and for all of them it is easier to access Thohoyandou than Malamulele. They do their business in Thohoyandou.
16 July 09 Zebediela/ Moletsane Traditional Council Offices
The meeting was attended by the Traditional Council. The Chair of the RCC, sub-cluster head Thabamoopo, ACM and the Secretariat represented the RCC. The community was well represented, women, youth and the elderly Questions raised by the community after learning about the proposal to relocate them to Thabamoopo from Mokerong: a) What will happen to the Zebediela PC? Zebediela is far from Lebowakgomo? Can’t the Zebediela PC be upgraded? b) Will Magatle PC be upgraded? Is it safe for Magistrate infrastructure wise? It is cheaper to get to Lebowakgomo however- what will happen to the maintenance files at Mokerong? What will happen to the magistrates who serviced Magatle from Mokerong? c) Will the service be as good as at Mokerong? d) Consideration of stats to upgrade Zebediela will not assist the rural area as people go to Lebowakgomo- cant the court be upgraded regardless of stats?
It was resolved that services be relocated to Thabamoopo on temporary basis whilst Magatle’s infrastructure and personnel issues are being looked into
Magatle is to be upgraded to a branch court. Additional infrastructure possibly park-homes to be procured. Head of Court and Court Manager to ensure that the norms and service standards are adhered to ensure that service similar to those offered by Mokerong and Mokopane continue at Thabamoopo/ Magatle
Page 28 of 42
e) Magatle is the centre of Zebediela- Magatle is the right place to offer services. All services are offered there f) Why Lebowakgomo and not Magatle? g) Rafiri and Mokgotho are far from Lebowakgomo h) Lebowakgomo is still far we need services here in Zebediela i) Magatle be a branch court j) Mokopane is farther than Lebowakgomo for children court matters for the orphaned children. Cases cannot be finalised because of distance and the associated costs. It costs R100 to take one child to Mokopane if they are 8 one has to pay R800. We look forward to Magatle being a branch court k) is relocation to Lebowakgomo temporary or permanent?

Thabazimbi, the Secretariat of the RCC.
The purpose of the meeting was to apprise the community of the recommendation of the RCC

The view of the Community was follows:
Community member from Kromdraai submitted
that there is no public transport to Thabazimbi and
the majority of the people are unemployed and
they go to Bela-Bela because of transport
accessibility and recommended an option of
having offices nearer that will serve the surrounding community
The distance from Raphuti to Bela-bela is 80KM
and to toThabazimbi is 65KM
It was further submitted that they pay up R25to
R30 to Thabazimbi when using the lift and can
pay less to Bela-Bela
Rooiberg, Raphuti and Kromdraai to be better
served by Bela-bela in terms of transport
accessibility.
The community was divided in terms of the Magisterial
District they want to fall and
it was recommended that the
decision on where they will
be served will be
communicated to them after
the investigation has been
conducted in terms of the
transport cost from the taxi
association.
It was further recommended that the decision as to where
they will be served should
not be influenced by the
amount they pay on the lift
as it could differ from time
to time.
