WITCHCRAFTCommunity out for blood over allegations of

“ The girl allegedly mademention of a list ofchildren whom she

wanted to kill.”

Justin Steyn

Anger and outrage has broken out in SpaPark, Bela-Bela amidst a rash of suicidesin the area. The community has accused alocal woman of witchcraft, and claim thatshe is responsible for the suicides.

During a meeting on Tuesday, 26January, residents of the Spa Park arearaised the issue with their WardCouncillor, Kobus van der Merwe, andmembers of the Bela-Bela police servicesat the Spa Park community hall.

Van der Merwe told The BEAT that themeeting was originally intended toaddress issues such as drug abuse and therecent increase in violent crimes.

Instead residents appeared en masse tolodge complaints against an allegedwitch who lives in the area and isaccused of “cursing local children tocommit suicide”.

Van der Merwe said the seriousness of

the matter only became clear after it wasreported that a young girl fell ill and said thatshe was instructed by “the witch” to kill hermother.

The girl allegedly made mention of a list ofchildren whom she wanted to kill. This wasapparently recorded on an audio device atthe time.

An attack on the woman was apparentlyalso planned, and emotions are running highamong residents.

Van der Merwe said that despitesuggestions and attempts to resolve thematter peacefully, residents were seriousabout exiling the woman from thecommunity.

“Emotions are running high in thecommunity and many are adamant thatthey want to remove the woman from thecommunity. Some have even hinted atkilling her. Police have gone as far assuggesting that they intervene in thematter by using one of the occult taskforces, but the community wants hergone,” he said.He added that he is of the opinion that

the community is desperate for answerswith the increase in suicides, and couldturn to superstitious conclusions.“Suicide instances are increasing in Spa

Park. I think people are desperate foranswers and I’m not convinced thiswoman is to blame,” he saidLieutenant Colonel Abel Phetla of the

Bela-Bela police station confirmed thatthe woman has been taken under policeprotection. He added that more policepatrols will be conducted in the area dueto the severe nature of the incident. Hesaid that no case had been opened yet.

Great amountsof water wasteddue to leakages

Mzamane Ringane

Modimolle, like the rest of the country,has been experiencing water shortagesdue to the recent drought and heatwave.

However, large amounts of water is stillgoing to waste as some communal tapsare left running unattended atModimolle.

The BEAT was able to identify at leasttwo communal taps that are alwaysrunning. Additionally, when there arewater stoppages in the area members ofthe public often leave their taps open,hoping that it will be easier to noticewhen water has been restored.

However, in unfortunate circumstanceswhere water supply is restored at night,the risk of water being wasted is high astaps are likely to run throughout the nightwithout being monitored.

Modimolle Local Municipalityspokesperson Patrick Shika said onMonday, 1 February that the municipalityalways responds timeously when notifiedabout situations where water is beingwasted due to faulty communal taps.

Shika also said in a situation where thefault is on the side of a consumer,accredited plumbers have to beappointed by the user to fix the leaks orany damage.

He said this could help in avoiding ahuge water bill, which could be causedby leaking or dripping taps.

“In a case where there are water cuts inthe area, people must always rememberto keep their taps closed to avoid waterwasting. We are pleading with membersof the community to always remaincautious and to report any leaks or faultycommunal taps. We have to worktogether as the community to ensure thatwe conserve our water,” said Shika.

He also urged parents to teach childrenhow to use water sparingly and alwaysguard against leaving taps unattended to.

Pienaarsrivier public violenceaccused out on warningThe trial of thirteen Pienaarsrivierresidents who were accused ofcommitting public violence shortlyafter a murder in August last yearhas been postponed once again toTuesday 22 March.

They have been released on awarning.

The accused allegedly closed offthe roads leading to Selokong andprotested while the police attendedto the scene of the murder.

At the time the victim, WilliamMoikanyane, was accused of theftand was beaten to death by 12 otherresidents.

The BEAT had previously spoken

Justin Steyn to some of the public violenceaccused who said that they have hadenough of alleged incompetence inthe local police.

Johannah Moseamedi said that thecommunity is fed up with a lack ofpolice patrols in the area, and saidthat the police only attend to thearea when massive incidents such asmurder occur.

“The police don’t patrol ourstreets,” she said. “When we haverobberies, or incidents of domesticviolence, they don’t show up. Thecommunity is tired of all the crimein our neighbourhood.”

Jerry Lekala said that he wouldlike to see a reduction of policecorruption and claimed that he hasseen many police officers accepting

bribes.Lekala said that there is a major

division between the communityand the police, and that thecommunity has little faith in lawenforcement.The EFF at Bela-Bela has since

supported the accused group andhas even provided them with legalassistance.The EFF Coordinator at Bela-

Bela, Neo Moloko, said that theEFF is standing in solidarity withthe group due to ‘politicalinstability,’ which they say iscausing the situation.“It is clear that the ANC is not

prepared to step in on this matterand we, as the EFF, are prepared tohelp these accused,” he said.

The Bela-Bela police are stilllooking for the mother of the twopremature babies that were found atthe sewerage at the entrance to theBela-Bela Township on Tuesday, 26January.

Detectives’ commanderLieutenant-Colonel Abel Phetla saidthat there are no leads so far as tothe identity of the mother. He addedthat DNA samples have been sent totheir lab for testing and the localclinics and hospitals have beennotified about the incident andurged to alert the police as soon asthey suspect a possible lead.

employee, Lolo Ramabusha, whowas on duty on the day. Theyappeared one by one from the wasteas he was busy cleaning thesewerage after reporting for duty.Medical professionals estimate thatthe babies, who appeared to betwins, may have been born at sevenmonths (30 weeks) gestation. At thatstage of their growth, infants areunlikely to survive without medicalintervention. The medicalprofessionals believed that thebabies may have been bornprematurely.

Ramabusha said that since hestarted working at the seweragethree years ago, he has found foursuch babies, and has to undergocounselling after every discovery.

He lashed out at the mothers and

pleaded with them to stop throwingtheir innocent babies away, but toleave them in safe places if they donot want them.“The incidents are always shocking

and I struggle to concentrate onanything after the discovery. I willalways be on the lookout, wonderingif I will find more foetuses and whatage and size will they be … stufflike that. Every child is important tothe community as they are thefuture,” he said.Meanwhile, Lieutenant-Colonel

Phetla confirmed that in all the casesof the foetuses discoveredabandoned and dead at thesewerage, none of them have hadany leads. The police are stillinvestigating, following the openingof inquests dockets.

Lizzy Bapela

Clients and customers at the Bela-BelaLocal Municipality were surprised to seetwo security companies at the samepremises, supposedly to serve them as theysought services from the municipality.

Dissatisfied security officers of onecompany that was apparently recentlydismissed, took to the gates of themunicipality on Monday, 1 February tovoice their complaints.

During the mini-protest, the officers raisedplacards with their demands and complaintsincluding permanent positions and paymentof their salaries. They told The BEAT thatthe management at the municipality doesnot have their best interest at heart becausethey (the municipal employees) receivedtheir salaries on pay day while the securitystaff are still waiting and are not sure whenthey will get theirs. They also said that theyhave children in school with needs to bemet and bills to pay.

Speaking to The BEAT about the protestand the workers’ demands, the staff

manager Joel Nkwinika said that accordingto the information they received, themunicipal manager Morris Malulekaterminated the company’s contract andordered the municipality not to pay thestaff. He added that the newly contractedcompany commenced their dutiesimmediately and as a result, the workers sawit fit to come together and voice theircomplaints as a collective.

Nkwinika urged the workers to remainpeaceful and respectful while addressingthem. The workers headed to theircompany’s office to wait for management toaddress them after the protest. They later metwith the municipality’s manager forCorporate Services Gloria Seleka.

“During our meeting with Seleka, shepromised to give us a letter detailinginformation about our payments andcontracts. We cannot say at this point as towhat we are going to do then as we have notyet received the letter and we are not surewhat it entails,” said Nkwinika.

Seleka could not be reached for comment inthe matter. The local police units monitoredthe peaceful scene to maintain order.

“I do things as I see fit in thisarea and whoever thinks otherwise

can come forward and complain.Those who are against myleadership can fight me in court andthose who accuse me of sellingstands illegally must produce proofbefore making such allegations,” hesaid.

Meanwhile, his uncle, BashanMojela, was also accused of sellingstands illegally and put the blameon his nephew when cornered toaccount for his actions.
