The MEC for Public Works in Limpopo,Namane Masemola, led Members of theExecutive Council (MECs) and otherpolitical principals Waterberg DistrictMunicipality on a visit to residents ofBavaria- Ga-Mathapo Village inMogalakwena Local Municipality.Executive mayors, local mayors,

councillors and officials from thePremier’s Office and variousmunicipalities accompanied thedelegation to the event, which served aspart of the Public ParticipationProgramme (PPP) conducted by thegovernment on a monthly basis.The programme is on initiative by

government to enhance participatorydemocracy and it also provides membersof the public with an opportunity to holdpublic representatives accountable onservice delivery matters. The Limpopoprovincial government interacts withdifferent communities on a monthlybasis in order to, among others,entrench the spirit of cooperationbetween government and the people inresolving services delivery challenges.As usual, community members voiced

their service delivery issues, chief amongwhich were water, sanitation, and theconstruction and maintenance of sportsfacilities since it is hoped that these willdiscourage the youth from flocking tolocal taverns. Requests were also madefor the construction of clinics,community halls and RDP houses asmany residents are still living in mudhouses, even after 19 years ofdemocracy.Others complained about shortage of

schools, educators who bunk classes,requested a decrease in liquor licensesas there are a high number of tavernswithin their area, electricity cut-offs andputting up high mast lights to curbcriminal activities. Unemployment,especially among the youth,exacerbated by a lack of information onbursaries, internships and learnershipswere also among the community’scomplaints.Some community members complained

about inaccessibility of roads especiallyduring rainy seasons. People living withdisabilities indicated that they are being

ignored when there are job and businessopportunities.The issue of police response times to

the community was also raised. Othersindicated that the municipality overlookssports activities in Bakenberg and sportscouncils are not active anymore. Theyadded that they are denied access touse the Bakenberg stadium and furtherrequested for 24 hour security, artificiallawns and maintenance at all the localstadiums.Some community members complained

that people are being overlooked whenthere are employment opportunities inthe municipality, that services andinformation doesn’t reach remote areasand added that they also need skillsdevelopment programmes. Some saidthat there are still no speed bumps ontheir main roads.In response Mogalakwena Mayor

Thlalefi Mashamaite said that hismunicipality is willing to erect 10 highmast lights in the village this financialyear. He said that Eskom used toconnect one high mast light for R15 000but due to price hikes this financial yearthey charge the municipality R150 000per light. In that case the mayor saidthey had to reduce allocation.Together with the Department of

Corporative Governance, HumanSettlement and Traditional Affairs(CoGHSTA), the municipality will build700 RDP house stands this financialyear. Mashamaite said they are awarethat the villages that are withoutelectricity and water are the new onesand plans are underway toaccommodate all the residents.Waterberg District Executive Mayor

The National Department of Arts and Culturewill be hosting a Youth EmpowermentWorkshop/Dialogue in Bela-Bela, focusingon the local youth. The workshop will takeplace at the Bela-Bela Forever Resorts onThursday, 29 August.

Abbey Lekalakala, Deputy Director for Artsand Youth Development at the Department ofArts and Culture, said that the target numberof participants is 100 youths. He added thatthe workshop will also cover businessmanagement in arts.

“In the context of youth development, socialcohesion is referred to as the processthrough which individuals or groups areincluded to participate fully in the society inwhich they live. Social cohesion allowsyoung people to participate and engage inactivities that build their social capital andnetworks, and strengthens the relations thatbind people together,” said Lekalakala.

He added that these interactions withothers strengthen young people’s identity,build their self-esteem, develop a sense ofbelonging, close intergenerational gaps andcontribute to building a better life for all.

Lekalakala said that it is within thisbackdrop that the department, through theYouth Unit, has resolved to engage youngpeople in dialogue to curve some of thechallenges that the National Youth Policyneeds to address in order to foster socialcohesion. He said that challenges such associal and economic inclusion, reintegratingyouth into their communities and promoting

established in 1985 on a farm calledLekkerlag and the name was derivedfrom a popular tree on that farm calledLekker breek. It is a tree that easilybreaks. The school started with only 2classrooms, 2 educators and with 150learners. The school did not have properclassrooms and used a barn and cattlefolder to divide the two classrooms,”said the school principal B M Legodi.In 1987 the farmer built two more

classes through funding from thegovernment. In the same year two moreeducators joined the school. In 2003,the school admitted 480 learners andbegan to use tents and trees asclassrooms. The Department ofEducation started a programme toeradicate schools with learners whoattend under trees. Lekkerbreekbecame one of the schools in thatprogramme. In 2005, the schoolrelocated from the farm to PhagamengTownship. The department built 8classrooms and employed 13educators. The school received morefunding in the 2008/09 budget, and 20classrooms were then built.One Grade 6 learner, William Mabone,

said that he loves the school becausethey get taught to establish vegetablegardens and how to water and take careof them. He added that he has alsoestablished a vegetable garden at homethrough the skills that he acquired fromhis school.The school also won an award from

Department of Agriculture in Waterbergfor its beautiful gardens and the learnersexpressed appreciation for the goodwork that their educators do in guidingand teaching them to be better people.“The school is very beautiful and we feelsafe in here, as there are securityguards,” said Mabone.

The South African Government adopteda National Infrastructure Plan in 2012,with an aim to transform economiclandscape, while simultaneouslycreating significant number of new jobsand strengthening the delivery of basicservices. Spokesperson for theGovernment Communications andInformation Systems (GCIS) inWaterberg Maria Ramoshaba said thatthese investments are set to improveaccess by citizens to healthcarefacilities, schools, water, sanitation,housing and electrification. She saidthat on the other hand, investment inthe construction of roads, railwaysystems, electricity plants, hospitals,schools and dams is set to contributeto faster economic growth.Achievements in terms of

Infrastructure development in ModimolleLocal Municipality include theconstruction of the R33 road fromModimolle to Vaalwater. The GCISconfirmed that a total of 256 peoplewere employed during the constructionof the road. The road is now moreconvenient to use than before, when ithad potholes and was very narrow anduneven. It was difficult to travel due toabnormal trucks travelling to Lephalale.“The developments have minimisedaccidents and the road is smooth andwide as a result it makes travelling tobe shorter and enjoyable. It alsoimproves economic growth ascompanies utilise the road to travel tovarious destinations to deliver theirproducts to Botswana via Grobblersburgin Lephalale,” said road user JohannesMolope. Modimolle residents applaudedthe government for building a state ofthe art school, Lekkerbreek Primary,which is situated at PhagamengTownship within the local municipality.The school has 20 classes with anadministration block, science andcomputer laboratories, furnishedclassrooms and a hall.

The Bela-Bela clinic will bemeeting soon to resolve acomplaint laid by a residentwho alleges that she wasmistreated during her visitthere.Jowi Kekana and a friend

visited the clinic on the 22nd ofJuly around 19:40 to consult anurse as her friend was notfeeling well. The nurse incharge allegedly refused togreet them and told the pair toqueue outside.When Kekana and her

companion protested thatthere was, in fact, nobodyoutside and thus no queue tojoin, the nurse allegedlyshouted at them.Upset that the nurse had

apparently not taken the timeto explain the clinic’sprocedures to them, Kekanaand her friend left withoutbeing helped.“This came as a surprise to

us,” Kekana said, “We askedourselves what happened tothe Batho-Pele principles,because the treatment wereceived was not what wewere expecting.”According to the clinic

EFF applaud Health Ministerfor using a public hospital

Lizzy Bapela

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF)applauded Health Minister Dr AaronMotsoaledi for using a public hospital,saying that they will work towards thecompulsory usage of public services bypublic representatives.The EFF stated that one of their

fundamental principles and policyposition is that all elected publicrepresentatives should use publicservices and institutions. The policystates that all public representatives inSouth Africa including those ingovernment will use public institutionsand services, particularly schools andheath care. “We believe that such is one of the

means that will make publicrepresentatives take their mandates andwork seriously in improving the quality ofthese services. Above all, this is a

statement of confidence on services thatgovernment provides to the public,” saidthe EFF’s spokesperson MbuyiseniNdlozi.Ndlozi said that the EFF does notapprove of the low quality of manyhospitals and healthcare facilities inSouth Africa and has an obligation towork towards ensuring that they are allimproved. Motsoaledi checked into Steve Biko

Academic Hospital for a surgicalprocedure on Tuesday 13 August andwas likely to be out of office for at least aweek, departmental spokesperson JoeMaila reported.Deputy Health Minister Dr GwenRamokgopa had since wished MinisterMotsoaledi a speedy recovery on behalfof the department’s management andstaff. She also wished the medical,nursing and administrative staff of SteveBiko Academic Hospital all the best.

the clinic committee will bemeeting soon to resolve thematter. She said that Kekanaand her companion came inperson to complain, shedirected them to write a letterto the clinic box, as is propercomplaints procedure.“We have a suggestion box

in our clinic and any patientswho feel they are not beingfairly treated are free to writea letter to us,” saidLesabane.

EFF’s Women’s Month messageprogress of democratization.“As long as we remain landless and

not benefiting from the economy, thetalk of women liberation remainshollow,” said Ndlozi.The EFF views the deplorable

condition of the majority of womenas a slap in the face for the womenthose who sacrificed so much for ourliberation. They said it must beknown and always remembered thatSouth Africa attained politicalfreedom as a result of women’sstruggles and sacrifices. Ndlozi saidchildren must know that women likeWinnie Madikizela-Mandela led fromthe front, when the men were in exileand Robben Island.The EFF agrees with Thomas

Sankara’s observation that therevolution and women’s liberation gotogether. “We do not talk of women’semancipation as an act of charity orbecause of a surge of humancompassion. It is for this reasonthat our struggle for landexpropriation without compensationand nationalization of mineralresources centralizes women asbeneficiaries, because our liberationis measured by the extent of theliberation of the most oppressed,”Ndlozi said.They encourage the society to be

guided by the wisdom of therevolutionary president ofMozambique Samora Machel whenhe said “in order for the revolution tosucceed, we must mobilize all of theexploited and oppressed; andconsequently the women also. Inorder for the revolution to triumph, itmust liquidate the totality of theexploitative and oppressive system,it must liberate all the exploited andoppressed people, and thus it mustliquidate women’s exploitation andoppression”.

The Economic Freedom Fighters(EFF) stated that it stands with the20 000 courageous andrevolutionary women of the nation,who marched to the UnionBuildings in 1956 to demandliberation, dignity and equality forall. The movement today echoesthe women’s call, which wassupported by the 100 000 petitionsagainst the apartheid laws. The movement’s spokesperson,

Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, said that theydedicate themselves to be guidedby the same energy and righteousforce in the fight for women’sliberation in the society. On thisday EFF also acknowledged thewise and brave leadership of theheroines who led the 1956 marchincluding Lillian Ngoyi, HelenJoseph, Rahima Moosa and SophieWilliams.“It is with great regret that 19

years into democracy we have toadmit that the liberation of womenis far from being realized.Representation in parliament andother areas of society has nottranslated to benefit or uplift allwomen,” said Ndlozi. He said that the results of

continued economic marginalizationand racism felt by the black majorityhave been felt in tenfold by women inthe society.The movement stated that the

structural violence that stalkscommunities in rural areas,townships and squatter camps hasbeen felt more acutely by women asa result of patriarchal andmisogynistic beliefs and practiceswhich have not been combated. Theybelieve that the condition of womenin the society is indicative of thelack of depth of liberation and

The Department of Labour’sEmployment Equity (EE) directorate inLimpopo recently held talks withdesignated employers shortly from theAgriculture, Construction, Wholesaleand Retail sectors on issues pertainingto employment equity, among others.The department’s provincialspokesperson Johannes Mokou saidthat the talks also included feedback onthe equity status of these sectors as at2012 and the linkage between theEmployment Equity and the EmploymentEquity plan. The live demonstration ofonline reporting and feedback on theEmployment Equity amendment bills,

Labour Department in talks with stakeholderswhich are currently under review inparliament, also formed part of the talks.

Deputy Director for Inspection andEnforcement Services, Phaswane Tladi,previously urged companies to sendrelevant representatives to the talks.Tladi had foreseen that tough questionswould be asked by the employmentequity officials on the said day.

“Persons such as Human ResourceExecutives, Senior Employment EquityManagers and Employment EquityConsultative forum members shouldalways be sent to represent theiremployers, as they are in the know ofthe equity status in their workstations.We also take this opportunity to thankemployers for having fallen in love with

the on-line reporting system consideringthat up to 96 percent reported online lastyear. This is an immense improvementfrom days gone by,’’ Tladi said.

The term designated employer refersto an employer who has a total turnoverstipulated in the EE Act per sector. Tladisaid that in this instance, to be adesignated employer in agriculturalsector one must have an annualturnover of R 2 million and inconstruction sector one must pocket anannual turnover of R 5 million.

He added that in the wholesale andretail sector, an employer has to pocketa bigger turnover of R 25 millionannually, simply because of the natureof the sector.

Head of the department in the provinceAlbert Tshidavhu said that it is veryimportant for the department to keeptrack of designated employers’adherence to Employment Equity Actthrough vigorous inspections, in case itis taken lightly.

“Failure to prioritise this could lead toemployees fronting for their employersand engage in corrupt activities that leadto conflict with the law,” Tshidavhu said.

Notable stakeholders from organisedlabour, business, municipalities,leading officials from governmentinstitutions and government ownedentities also presented theiremployment equity plans as part of theirprogram, as per invitation.

Not asking for itThere’s an interesting phenomenongoing around. It’s not new, in fact ithas been with us since the begin-ning of time. The idea that awoman is in some way responsiblefor being raped has a certainseductive appeal in a patriarchalsociety, and that’s understandable.What it is not, however, is accept-able.The idea that a woman was

“asking for it” is disgusting and vileand honestly stupid. It’s also one ofthe most persistent urban legendsin the world. In late 2012 inAmerica, a 14-year old girl wasraped at a party. She shouldn’thave been at the party. Shecertainly shouldn’t have beendrinking — the drinking age in mostAmerican states is, in fact, 21. Butshe went to the party, and she wasraped. During her attackers’ trial,much was made of the boys andhow their lives had been ruined. Asthough they hadn’t made a choice.As though it was her faultsomehow. She’s not alone. If youlook at almost every rape case inrecent history, at some point duringthe trial it will have been implied, ifnot outright said, that the victiminvited her assault.It’s insulting to women, but we’ll

talk more about that in a little bit.It’s just as insulting to men. Are weto believe that men have no controlover their bodies? Is every man arapist just waiting for the momentwhen it all becomes too much?That’s ridiculous, and we all knowit. We live in a civilized society.Men are not animals. It is not anunreasonable thought that a manshould be able to understand theconcept of “no means no”. It’s threesimple little words, after all.A rapist is not a victim.And as for women? “Being

responsible has nothing to do withbeing raped. Women don’t getraped because they were drinkingor took drugs. Women do not getraped because they weren’t carefulenough. Women get rapedbecause someone raped them.” –Jessica Valenti. No woman hasever asked to be raped. There is nosuch thing as an invitation to rape.Clothing does not equal consent.Flirting does not equal consent.Drunkenness does not equal

consent.Coercion does not equal consent.In a civilized society a woman

would be able to walk down a darkstreet in nothing but her shoes andfeel totally safe. In a civilizedsociety young girls would not betold that they ruined their attackers’lives by being attacked.We’re not there yet.

True Prophets Bishop Silas Tlou

True prophets make known theirfaith in Jesus, but more is requiredthan claiming to preach in hisname. 1 John 4:1-3: “Test theinspired expressions to see whetherthey originate with God, becausemany false prophets have goneforth into the world. You gain theknowledge of the inspired expres-sion from God by this: Everyinspired expression that confessesJesus Christ as having come in theflesh originates with God, but everyinspired expression that does notconfess Jesus does not originatewith God.”1. True prophets speak in the

name of God, but merely claimingto represent him is not enough.Deut. 18:18-20: “A prophet I shallraise up for them from the midst oftheir brothers.” Jeremiah 14:14;28:11, 15.Jesus said: “I do nothingof my own initiative; but just as theFather taught me I speak thesethings.” (John 8:28) If any individualor organizations claim to representGod but decline to use God’spersonal name, and make it apractice to express their ownopinions on matters, are theymeasuring up to this importantqualification of a true prophet?Ability to perform “great signs,” or“miracles,” is not necessarily proofof a true prophet. Matt. 24:24:“False Christs and false prophetswill arise and will give great signs,miracles and wonders so as tomislead, if possible, even thechosen ones.”2. What true prophets foretell

comes to pass, but they may notunderstand just when or how it willbe. The apostles and other earlyChristian disciples had certainwrong expectations, but the Bibledoes not classify them with the“false prophets. Luke 19:11; John21:22, 23; Acts 1:6, 7. Nathan theprophet encouraged King David togo ahead with what was in his heartregarding the building of a house forJehovah’s worship. But laterJehovah told Nathan to inform Davidthat he was not the one who wouldbuild it. Jehovah did not rejectNathan for what he had said earlierbut continued to use him becausehe humbly corrected the matterwhen Jehovah made it plain to him. 3. The pronouncements of a true

prophet promote true worship andare in harmony with God’s revealedwill. The true God said that thenations “will have to know that I amGod,” and the Bible states that Godwould take out of the nations “apeople for his name,” but arereligious organizations that mini-mize the importance of using God’spersonal name acting in harmonywith this revealed will of God?(Ezek. 38:23; Acts 15:14) 4.”Trueprophets and the false can berecognized by the fruitage manifestin their lives and the lives of thosewho follow them”. Matt. 7:15-20:
