Dedicated policeman and family man W/O Thomas Mabada said goodbye to his family as usual before taking up his day shift at 12:00.

He was attached to the section

for visible policing at Siloam. Little did anyone know that it would be the last time his family would see him alive.

Mabada (52) of Tshivhilidulu was killed in an ambush by armed robbers in bushes at Lwamondo, not far from Thohoyandou. His colleague, whose name was not revealed by the police,

escaped unharmed but deeply traumatised.

Mabada joins the more than 70 police-

men who lost their lives in the line of duty country-

wide th is

year. He is the fi rst one to be killed on duty in Limpopo this year, while three off-duty policemen also lost their lives in the province this year.

Information at this paper’s disposal indicates that Mabada and his companion were on patrol between Thohoyandou and Siloam when a suspi-cious-looking vehicle was spotted. Limpopo police spokesperson Col Ronel Otto said the deceased and his colleague gave chase, with the suspected car taking a gravel road in the Lwamondo area.

It is believed that there were three men in the other vehicle and, according to speculations, they abandoned their vehicle and came back to the road, where they ambushed the policemen from the side of the road before fl eeing on foot.

W/O Mabada was fatally hit and his traumatised and shocked colleague drove for two kilometres with the body of his companion to a nearby factory, where he summoned help.

Soon thereafter, a massive manhunt by the police combed the area and the getaway car was later found in dense bushes.

Mabada’s killing has received widespread con-

demnation from all quarters in the community.Premier Chupu Mathabatha appealed to anyone

with information that can lead to the arrest of the killers to come forward.

“We cannot allow robbers to reign supreme in our province and it will not be tolerated,” he said. He further urged the police to continue doing their work diligently according to their training, without fear or favour.

Limpopo police commissioner Lt Gen Fannie Masemola, accompanied by senior police offi cers in Vhembe, visited the grieving family on Tuesday. He assured the family that it would be just a matter of time before they arrested the criminals.

“We will leave no stone unturned in the hunt for these callous criminals. We started yesterday, and so far we have managed to recover the robbers’ vehicle. We now have a picture of whom we are looking for and it will only be a matter of time, be it days, weeks or months, before we catch them,” said Masemola.

Louis Trichardt Primary School had two English teams that competed in the Radikale Orators Competition that was held at Garsfontein High School in Pretoria from 30 to 31 October. The second team is in front, from left to right, Sally Machochi, Naki Sadiki, Tshedza Khangale and Bono Mamphiswana. They were awarded a second-place trophy. The first team, standing at the back, is Modjadji Sefole, Matamela Muleba, Funi Dovhada and Makgomo Nkoana. They won first place and were trained by Louise Dekker and Madelein Nel.

Vho-Mashudu Rokho is seen here with the goat that was allegedly raped.

A 4 3 - y e a r - o l d m a n , Vho-Mashudu Rokho, is still fuming after he had appre-hended a well-known “proph-et” who was apparently in the act of raping one of his goats.

The incident that got the com-munity at Tshaulu village talking, is said to have happened on the night of 28 October. Rokho was fast asleep when he was awak-ened by the frantic bleating of a goat at around 23:00. He went out to investigate.

“When I approached the kraal, I saw a human figure,” he said. “He had his hand tightly around the mouth of one of my goats and he had his other hand firmly on her tail. He was pumping harder; he was having a sexual intercourse with my goat.”

Rokho rushed forward to the kraal and the suspect dropped down on his stomach, trying to hide from the goat’s owner. Ac-cording to Rokho, he jumped into

the kraal to try and apprehend the suspect, who had his trousers down around his ankles. “I was so angry that I picked up a dry branch and lashed at him.”

The suspect managed to run away, leaving behind his blue-and-white golf shirt. “I also picked up a container with some remnants of pap and cooked boerewors.”

According to Rokho, he was convinced that the man he saw in his kraal was someone staying in the same village. He walked to the suspect’s home, where he only found the man's mother. They knocked on his door and, when they had no response, opened the door, only to find that he was not in the room. The suspect’s mother, however, was of the opinion that the pap and wors had been prepared at her home for the family’s supper that night.

The traditional leader in the

village, Vhakoma Vho-Samuel Mathambo, criticised the abuse of animals for such acts of bes-tiality. “An animal cannot speak for itself when you are abusing it,” he said. “This is a tragedy to us all in our village. The suspect had run away from the village. We are looking for him, so that he can fully explain his dastardly conduct and get a relevant fine if need be.”

Mathambo said that it would have been much better if the complainant had also opened a criminal case against the suspect, who was well known as a prophet at a local congregation.

Rokho, who also runs a spaza shop, was hesitant to open a criminal case. “Opening a case will just make me lose business as I will have to go to court many times and gain nothing at the end of the day.

He raped my goat and now she is traumatised.”

“He raped my goat and now she is traumatised,” claims Tshaulu man

Police and members of the Indian business community, who alerted the police about the suspicious car, gather at the house of the slain police officer to offer their condolences.

(From page 1)He further urged members

to defend their lives and do it within the bounds of the law.

The police contingent then went to the scene of the inci-dent. Some family members could be seen crying openly at the scene where it happened.

A local Siloam businessman, Rafiq Lakha, said attacks of a similar nature would not stop if the community did not work with the police in ridding the area of fire-arms. “There have been so many robberies in this area and we asked for an escort from the local police. While we were heading for home around 05:30, we spotted a suspicious-looking car as they waited to rob us. We reported this to the police, and it was only after an hour that we heard of the incident.”

The chairperson of the Lim-

popo Community Policing Forum, Mr Edward Mafune, said the killing of a policeman was disturbing. "Police kill-ings pose a big challenge in the community, and the police themselves and the community should come on board and give us all the information and form partnerships with the police, so that we fight this scourge together. The killing of one policeman means 380 people in the community are left un-protected," he said.

Family spokesperson Mr Zakes Mabada said the incident had come as a great shock and blow to the family. “Thomas started his police work at the Thohoyandou police before moving to Siloam, where he worked until his death. He served the police department for 25 years and he was a ded-icated worker, who served his

community with distinction. He also loved education and he took all his children to private schools,” he said.

He said that the death hit them where it mattered most as W/O Mabada was a unifier and leader in the family and his community.

“We are in pain and we have decided as a family not to prolong his burial; we will be burying him at the weekend. We feel keeping his body for long will prolong the pain in our hearts and we want to urge his colleagues to understand us in that respect,” he said.

Mabada is survived by his wife Cecilia, also a police of-ficer at the same station. They have five children. “

Col Otto said that they had opened a murder case, but that they had not made any arrest yet.

Prof Alfred Nevhutanda Development Foundation launchedThe Professor Alfred Nevhutanda Development Foundation was launched at the 2Ten Hotel at Sibasa last Saturday evening with the aim to develop society to become self-sufficient, inde-pendent and caring.

According to a spokesman, the foundation focuses on education, sports, arts and culture, eco-nomic and rural development, as well as business and leadership development.

“In education, we will be developing gover-nance, classroom practice and the provision of resources. Concerning the classroom practice, the foundation will do teacher training in critical subjects, sound classroom-management skills, better understanding of the curriculum, increase subject knowledge and learner assessment,” Nevhutanda said.

He also mentioned that the foundation will spon-sor township or village sports tournaments, supply

sports kit where needed and even sport clinics. About the arts, Nevhutanda said that they would promote choral music, sponsor the establishment of community-based orchestras and promote tra-ditional music and dance.

“In business and leadership development, the foundation will be empowering seminars, pro-vide support for community-based activities, do mentorship programmes and will also provide a special focus on women and the youth,” he added.

Several trophies were presented to leaders in different fields during the event. See a report elsewhere in the paper.

The Minister of Communications, Ms Faith Muthambi, congratulated Nevhutanda and advised him to start by focusing on the rural areas first. The MEC for Education, Mr Ishmael Kgetjepe, said the launching of the foundation clearly showed “that the doors of learning are wide open to all.”

At long last an own ID book for mother of three

“Municipal manager and mayor must step down”

A proud Mayor Grace Mahosi presents the ID to Ms Esther Chauke.

Chairperson of the local Samwu branch Murovhi (left) and provincial secretary of Samwu Cromwell Nhlemo watch as the mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, receives the memorandum.

Members of the South African Munic-ipal Workers Union (Samwu) staged a peaceful protest last Friday during which they called on the Makhado municipality’s mayor and municipal manager to resign.

The protesters marched to the municipal offices, displaying banners accusing the municipal manager, Isaac Mutshinyali, and the mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsin-di, of fraud, corruption and nepotism. A memorandum spelling out their grievances was handed over to the mayor.

The memorandum contains a number of accusations as to the manner in which tenders are awarded and claims made for expenses. Samwu alleges that Mutshiny-ali had awarded a tender to upgrade the municipality’s electrical infrastructure without following proper procedure to Spectrum Utility Management (Pty) Ltd. This was allegedly done before the tender was advertised and financed by means of a MIG grant, which SAMWU alleges had not yet been approved by the national treasury.

The union also claims that the munici-pal manager submitted double claims for expenses relating to his relocation from Letaba. Questions were also asked about other expenses incurred. The municipal-ity’s security company costs were also

mentioned as an example of irregular expenditure. SAMWU alleges that more than R300 000 was spent on the personal security of the municipal manager.

The provincial secretary of SAMWU, Mr Cromwell Nhlemo, said that the union noted with disbelief the “blatant disregard of proper management of the municipal-ity and complete lack of leadership by Mutavhatsindi and municipal manager, Mutshinyali.” He added that the members of SAMWU had noted that irregularities had occurred in the tender procurement process and that some tenders had been awarded to companies which charged the highest prices, but scored the lowest tender points. “This is contrary to what the evaluation committee had recommend-ed,” he said. “Since the induction of the mayor, the relationship between workers, management and the political manage-ment team has collapsed,” said Nhlemo. He further said that service delivery had been severely compromised, due to the lack of leadership and that in-fighting and mismanagement of funds within the municipality were rife.

Samwu members are also alleging that the council improperly employs friends and relatives in senior positions while temporary employees are removed, de-spite a mutual agreement once reached

by both the trade union and the council to provide temporary employees with permanent posts.

“We are fed up with corruption and nep-otism in this municipality. Some people are occupying some positions that they don´t even qualify for. Workers must be employed according to their credentials, not according to favours. We are going to fight this, and we want the two to vacate their positions since they are using munic-ipal money for their personal interests,” Nhlemo said.

Nhlemo also complained about the lack of resources. “We do not have protective clothing, no cars for the municipality, we are understaffed, yet we are expected to render service to the community,” he said.

In an interview with Limpopo Mirror, DA councillor Albert Mafhala said that the mayor and municipal manager were employed by the community and should not enrich themselves. He said that if the ANC found any truth in the allegations, they must fire them. “We are elected by the community to serve the people with dignity,” he said.

Makhado Mayor David Mutavhatsindi said that they had received the memoran-dum of grievances and that the council would respond to their memorandum within seven days.

At long last Ms Esther Chauke from Nkovani village in the Malamulele area received an identity document, follow-ing an intervention from the Thulamela municipality through the mayoral pub-lic participation programme (imbizo).

Accompanied by executive committee chairperson Grace Mahosi, the manager from the Department of Home Affairs in

Malamulele, Mr Yuza Smile Shiviti, and other officials recently handed over the identity document to the mother of three children who has lived her life without an ID document for many years. She could not get an old-age pension funds without the vaild document.

As a result of her not having identity document, Chauke’s children have been

prevented from receiving government grants as they do not have birth certifi-cates.

Shiviti assured her as they handed over the ID document to the mother that the department would start with the process of assisting the children with their birth certificates. “As government we work as a unit. As soon as they have their birth

certificates, SASSA will intervene with the so-cial grant process. We don’t want poor and child-headed families to suffer,” said Shiviti

After receiving her ident i ty document , Esther said, “I almost lost hope that one day I would have an ID. I am happy, and my children will live a normal life.”

Mayor Mahosi also visited destitute families without proper housing. She said that the mu-nicipality was doing all it could to ensure that communities were settled in an integrat-ed, sustainable manner by prioritizing elderly people with disabilities and child-headed fami-lies in terms of housing provision.

Response

MM reacts to allegationsThe Makhado municipal man-

ager, Mr Isaac Mutshinyali, this week reacted to the SAMWU memorandum in which the union members make several allegations as to the manner in which tenders are awarded and the council’s funds are being spent.

One of the allegations SAMWU makes, is that a tender to upgrade the electricity infrastructure was awarded to Spectrum Utility Man-agement (Pty) Ltd without the proper procedure being followed. Mutshinyali said that in this specific case the regulations made provision for a municipality to participate in a tender already awarded by another municipality or organ of state. “(The tender) was awarded to this company to survey the municipal electricity network and submit to DMR for future budgetary process-es in which the municipality could benefit, and not using any municipal money or MIG as alleged,” he said.

Mutshinyali also commented on criticism that he had made multiple claims for relocating from Tzaneen to Louis Trichardt. “The Munici-pal Manager was paid a once-off relocation allowance in terms of the Employment Contract and the transporting of his furniture was paid directly to the service provider in terms of Council policy,” he said.

The money spent the past year on security to protect the munic-ipal manager also came under SAMWU’s spotlight. The union is concerned that more than R300 000 was spent on the personal security of Mutshiny-ali. He defended this expenditure and said that it had been for both the municipal manager and may-or’s security and it had been approved by Council.

“All people should note that the mu-nicipal manager is not responsible for awarding tenders,” Mutshinyali said. He explained that several committees first sit and then make rec-ommendations to the municipal manager. Should the munici-pal manager decide not to approve the recommendations of the adjudication com-

mittee, reasons must be provided to the auditor-general (AG), the provincial and national treasury and the provincial and national co-op-erative government departments. “Tenders are not only awarded based on price – there are matters such as the BEE scoring points that are also taken into consideration,” said Mutshinyali.

As far as service delivery is concerned, Mutshinyali said that there had been a big improvement over the past couple of years. “Our financial management and service delivery have improved drastically as evidenced in the past two AG reports wherein the municipality moved from more than 10 years’ disclaimers and adverse opinions, to an unqualified opinion,” he said.

Mutshinyali pointed out that there seemed to be some confusion as far as the appointment of staff was concerned. “The municipality has no temporary employees, but do have project employees, i.e. EPWP, and there is no agreement whatsoever reached with unions to provide temporary employees with permanent posts. All posts would be advertised for sound recruiting processes and be filled,” he said.

The municipal manager also invited any person with proof of public money being used by the mayor, the municipal manager, councillors or any council official for private interest, to report such cases to law-enforcement agencies.

Mr Isaac Mutshinyali.


Unknown suspect kills farm workerThe body of a 50-year-old woman, Grace Gumani of Makushu, was found in a pool of blood at a Levubu farm last Friday.

According to a police report, the son of the deceased tried to call her that day, but the phone kept ringing. He later decided to visit his mother at the room where she stayed. On arrival he noticed that one of the windows was broken and left open.

He went into the house, only to find his mother’s lifeless body. She had apparently been stabbed and injured with a heavy instrument, the police report states.

The police took in two neighbours who stayed at the same hostel for questioning, but later released them. They have since launched a manhunt for the suspect.

Levubu police spokesperson W/O Solly Mukhola said the deceased had sustained serious injuries to the chest and neck.

“The victim was so seriously in-jured that she died at the scene. There was blood all over the room, which clearly indicates that the suspect was ready to kill.”

Mukhola appealed to community members who might know something about the suspect to report at the nearest police station.

Ms Gumani left behind three chil-dren, one son and two daughters. Phi-lemon Tshinyelo, son of the deceased, said that the death had brought a lot of misery to the family as they had to prepare for a funeral that they had not planned. The funeral will be held on Saturday at 06:00.

Astronomy

Milky Way and Andromeda in the spotlightThe Soutpansberg Astronomy Club (SAC) invites residents to join them for a night under the stars on Saturday, 14 No-vember.

Up for grabs in the early part of the evening with be the crescent moon.

Dominating the local group of galaxies is our own Milky Way

and the Andromeda Galaxy, des-ignated M31 by the comet hunter Charles Messier.

Light from the galaxy takes over two million years to reach the earth and it is visible with the naked eye.

The diffuse light that people see is caused by hundreds of bil-lions of stars that compose it and,

although there are several distinct stars surrounding Andromeda, these are actually stars in our own galaxy that are well in front of the background object.

For more information about the SAC’s activities, Kos Coro-naios can be contacted at 079 148 4934 or by email at [email protected]


Lest we forget

Elim Hlanganani grannies celebrate

Remember the heroes of Native Corps

Magistrate Ronald Muthambi has made a call for commu-nities to respect, protect and take good care of the elderly.

Speaking during the event of the International Day of Older Persons at the Elim Hlanga-nani Society for the Care of the Aged, Muthambi it was sad that the modern world for the most part thought of elderly people as past their prime, unattractive and irrelevant.

“Previous generations used to attach greater value to old age,” he said. “There may still be some few communities who do so today. The elderly are a ‘treasure’ in society, hence the reference to the elderly as a ‘repository of wisdom’.”

He indicated that elders could use their time to bring glory to society and blessings to fami-lies, friends and fellow country-men. “They are full of humour

and goodwill,” he said. “They have a precious commodity that most young people do not have – time!”

He said that people must not look down on the fact that the elderly could transfer rare skills to the present generation. “Elders are very often experts at various arts or trades,” he said. “Passing on skills to those who need them or want to learn adds significant value to the elder’s life.”

He pointed out that there were instances where elders needed the help of those close to them or the community. “The reality is that the new generation should help out,” he said. “The demands of old age cannot be underestimated. Very often the elderly suffer from poor health, fi nancial constraints and more. Sad memories also haunt many older people.” He concluded

by saying that efforts should be made to involve them in family matters, so as to instill a sense of their continuing to be of value to the family, instead of isolating them and indirectly indicating to them that they are worthless.

During the event, elders car-ried placards with messages which condemned the abuse of the elderly and advocated respect for them. They marched from Mpheni to the Hlanganani, so that people could read those loud-and-clear messages.

The assistant director of the society, Ms Molly Maswang-anyi, said that the society was encouraged by the respect for the elderly in the communities. “In our day-to-day activities we learn new wisdom from the elderly and it’s also the reason why we feel so passionate about celebrating International Age Day,” she said.

In Memory of PrivateJ MakhadoN/26877, Native Military Corps, S.A. Forces who died on 09 October 1943Son of Makhado and Mothakale.Remembered with Honour, Eshowe Cemetery

A reader, Thivhilaeli Makatu, recently posted a thought-provoking question which led to some interesting research. He wanted to know whether any members of the South African Native Labour Corps or the SA Native Military Corps were listed on the memorial roll of the local Moths.

Thivhilaeli reacted to an article about the annual Remembrance Day, which this year will take place on Sunday, 8 November, at the Turbi Hills Shell-hole in Louis Trichardt.

We asked Moths’ “Old Bill” Allan Odendaal to investigate and it didn’t take him long to come back with a reply. Yes, there is a mention of one of the unit’s members, a Private J Mdumela, who died on 14 November 1945. He was buried at the Mowkop burial ground just outside the town.

Perhaps to explain to readers the signifi cance of the question one has to fi rst look at the role of the SA Native Military Corps. This unit was formed in 1940 to assist the Union Defence Force in the Second World War. It was supposed to be a non-combative unit comprising African men, and the members were recruited to offer support ser-vices. Because of the discriminatory politics of the day, the members were not allowed to carry guns and they were used as stretcher bearers, drivers etc.

The drive to recruit members was very successful and at the end of the recruitment period, more than 80 000 African men had enlisted into the SA Native Military Corps (NMC). After fi nishing their train-ing, they were posted to various front-line units in East Africa, Abbysinia, Egypt, Cyrenaica and Italy.

The Native Military Corps distinguished them-selves in various ways on the fi eld of battle and many of the members received medals for acts of exceptional bravery and valour.

This was, of course, not the fi rst war that made extensive use of black and coloured African sol-diers to help win battles. The South African Native Labour Corps (SANLC) was formed in 1916 in response to a British request for workers at French ports. Some 21 000 South Africans joined the Corps and these soldiers were utilized in various menial non-combat tasks.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records 1,304 deaths for the South African Native Labour Corps whose graves and memorials are found mostly in the UK, France and South Africa. In total, almost 2 300 SANLC members died during the First World War.

The South African government issued no war

The elderly attached to the Elim Hlanganani Society for the Care of the Aged called for respect.

service medals to the black servicemen and even the special medal issued by King George V to “native troops” who had served the Empire was disallowed and not issued to the SANLC.

In the last decade, a lot of effort went into re-storing the dignity of all members who sacrifi ced their lives during these wars. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission publishes a detailed list of soldiers on its website, making it much easier to trace the origins of people who had died during the two great wars. The list of over 1 000 soldiers of the NMC who had died during the war makes for interesting reading, but it’s near impossible to identify soldiers from the northern part of Limpopo. Judging by the surnames, there are a number of them who originate from this region, albeit that they were buried in other parts of the country.

As far as the members of the SANLC and NMC are concerned, the name of Private Mdumela is mentioned, who was buried in Limpopo (Mowkop cemetery). There is also that of a J Mbengeni who died on 2 September 1944 and who was buried in Polokwane.

On 9 October 1943, Private J Makhado died, probably in Italy (where members of the NMC were deployed to help fend off the German Army.) The description next to his name simply states “Son of Makhado and Mothakale”. He was later buried at the Eshowe cemetery alongside some of his fellow unit members.

Private W Farasani was another member of the unit who died on 5 April 1944. He was described as the “husband of Mobe Farasani of Mpefu’s lo-cation”. His remains were buried at the Palmietkuil South war cemetery near Springs.

There are many more names, such as Ernest Funani (buried at Palmietfontein), W Madotzi (perhaps a misspelling of Matodzi) who was buried in Maitland cemetery in Cape Town and J Mukon-delele (buried at Cullinan), but it’s near impossible to trace them back accurately to the Soutpansberg.

Then there are also the “unknown” graves, such as that of John Shifularo. He died of malaria in Sibasa, but his name has not yet been accepted for war grave status.

In most cases, very little information is available on who these soldiers were, in what battles they took part and why they have ended up in graveyards very far from where they were born.

According to Allan Odendaal of the Moth’s Turbi Hills Shellhole, all those who died on the battlefront are annually remembered on the second Sunday in November. This is the Sunday closest to when the peace treaty to end the First World War (11 November 1918) was signed.

Locally, a Remembrance Day service will be held at the Turbi Hills Shellhole at 66 Burger Street, Louis Trichardt. The groups will get together at 10:30 for the service to start at 11:00.

The 13th edition of the Munghana Lonene (ML) FM Xitsonga Music Awards this weekend promises much for the music fraternity and lovers of music. According to the organisers, the event has grown “bigger, better and with more bombshells than ever before.”

“The event brings numerous exciting surprises to the music community,” said ML FM’s marketing manager, Ms Vongi Nkanyane. “Nominees will battle it out in 13 categories this year, including newly introduced Best Language Purity catego-ry as well as the once-off Best Station’s 50th Song of the year.”

This time around, though, the Best Mindzhumba Ya Afrika category has been dropped as a result of limited sub-

missions in this genre. “The Dr Thomas Chauke Artist of the Year category, previously won by Joe Shirimane, is one of the highly contested categories in this year’s awards,” she said.

“With fi ve of Xitsonga’s best artists in Kenny Bevhula, Sunglen Chavalala, Flo-rah Nwa Chauke, Colonel Mhlongo and Percy Mfana, it will be very interesting to see who will walk away with this award.”

The station will hand out four special recognition awards at a lavish gala din-ner at the Giyani Community Hall on 6 November. The selected recipient is the late Joel Bvuma, aka Xihumbuyani, who will be honoured posthumously.

Legendary MC Mabasa will receive the Living Legends Award, while Mo-zambican Xidimingwana (Bernardo

Domingos Onuane) will receive a special award, with the great Vusi Mahlasela being honoured with The Companion of Xitsonga Music Award for his song Miyela Africa. Mahlasela follows in the footsteps of Ray Chikapa Phiri and Sipho Hotst ix Mabuse, who were recognized with this award in 2013 and 2014.

ML FM’s station manager, Mr James Shikwambana, said that the awards continued to play a very serious role in improving Xitsonga music. “The awards have inspired our musicians to up their game in producing good-quality music,” he said. “As a station, we are also using these awards to send a very strong mes-sage in our fight against xenophobia, hence Xidimingwana from Mozambique is nominated to receive a special award.”

Mpho Makhado releases debut gospel offering:

I’m BlessedBy Kaizer Nengovhela

Mpho Makhado recently released his debut album, I’m Blessed.

According to Makhado, who hails from Musina, the album is performing well commercially, but explained that it was a long and winding road for him to taste some success in the music industry.

“I fell in love with music at a very young age. Gospel music was always in my bones and I was obliged to do something to keep praising God.” He started his musical career when he was 15 years old as part of a church choir. He grew up listening to famous musicians such as Joyous Celebration, Bishop Roxley Ma-sevhe and Solly Moholo, from whom he drew inspiration.

“Recording the album was not easy,” said Mpho. Despite having plenty of songs ready, he had to fund the project himself. In order

to enhance

his writing and composition skills, he took piano lessons. “Selinah Muswobi was my role model and she encouraged me a lot.”

Observers have told him that he is gaining great popularity among gospel music lovers because “of his unique style, which consists of heavy bass sounds, some chopping sounds and occasional well-positioned brass.” He sings about personal ex-periences “and what I see happening in my vicinity. I also give advice here and there through my music, and by the look of things, I will con-tinue singing this type of music as it is proving very popular,” he said. Mpho is also taking his music to the people through promotion.

His debut album consists of 12 gospel and some of he songs that are already popular are Ndizwayeso, Vhangasizwidzumbe, and the title track, I’m Blessed.

Food parcels for seven pre-schools Awards for the region’s loyal clerics“The shortage of food at the crèches moved us to arrange for food parcels and donate them to needy and struggling crèches.”

Those were the words of the DA’s Cllr Bessy Jones after they had donated food to at least sev-en crèches in Tshikota in Louis Trichardt.

The seven early child devel-opment centres who benefi ted are Healing Covenant Centre, Letter Rain Pre-school, Bright Future Nursery, Wamashudu Christian Crèche, Takalani Crèche, Busy Bee Crèche and Pre-school, and Khensmak Jane’s Nursery School. Jones said that they had realised that many crèches could not survive and run smoothly with the little funds obtained from what the guardians of the children paid the crèches at the beginning of each month.

“We want all caretakers in the early child development cen-tres to feel at ease and without any burden on their shoulders resulting from a lack of food,” she said. “Children need to feel comfortable in the crèches and not homesick because of hunger.”

The principal of Takalani Crèche, Ms Mavis Khosa, said that the centre had been strug-gling to operate effectively because a larger sum of the money received had to be di-rected towards food purchasing. “When we buy food, we are left with almost nothing to pay our child caretakers,” she said. “And truly speaking, we cannot compromise the purchasing of food. Caretakers had to work for the love of caring for kids. But today, we thank the DA who had found it in their hearts to give us boxes of food.”

She indicated that they would be happier if the good work that they had witnessed could also reach more crèches. “We just pray that their kindness has not begun and ended with us,” she said. “We wish that they will also extend their good deeds to other crèches elsewhere. How-ever, we would appreciate it if they could just keep us in their good books when they donate foods again next time.”

Wa-Mashudu Chr is t ian Crèche and Pre-school’s Ms Munyadziwa Simeli expressed her gratitude to the givers. “Our children had some packages which they took home with them and we also had some food left which we will prepare for them in the pre-school,” she said. “This is the fi rst gift of its kind and we are really grateful. Our children are excited because a full stomach brings happiness.”

Busy Bee Crèche and Pre-school received boxes

Mdaka was guest speaker during the weekend’s Vhembe Pastoral Awards 2015 held at Faith In Action Ministries at Masia.

The awards, the brainchild of Bishop Ndadza, seek to identify and honour men of God, both those who have departed and those still active in the service of God.

During the ceremony, attended by businesspeo-ple, pastors from all over the country, government offi cials and many members of the community, saw 10 departed pastors and bishops receive posthumous awards and 31 pastors and bishops being acknowledged for the good they have done in spreading the gospel.

Speaking during the function, Mdaka said it was befi tting that the early crop in God’s vine be honoured while they were still alive.

“We have seen them labour in the vine of the Lord. Through them, we were able to see the light and we also followed the path of God. Our urge is that the young in the fi eld should emulate their predecessors and follow in their footsteps. We also need prayers as government, so that we can have peace and stability in our country,” he said.

Ndadza said he had a vision last year and tried to suppress it but it came back again and again: “I shared it with others and they encouraged me to proceed with the idea. These humble servants of God have worked tirelessly to make this country what it is today, yet no one seems to notice. No one in government has ever thought of acknowledging them. It’s time that we honour them because some

have passed on without being acknowledged. Let’s honour them while they are still alive. As a church, we will continue identifying those who have gone the extra mile in their duty in making life better for others,” he said.

Bishop Joel Mulaudzi (92), a veteran business-man and a Christian stalwart who founded the New Covenant Church of Christ and Apostolic, said he was greatly humbled by the gesture.

“We were doing our work as prescribed by God and we did not even know that people were watching. All that mattered at the time was turning many to the fold of God,” he said.

The award-winning radio pre-senter Lutendo Tshisikule’s work on the radio has seen her garner praises from society and receive some accolades for a good work she does on PhalaPhala FM.

It seems she was simply born to do everything there is to do on radio. “In 2004, I joined Phalaph-ala FM as a presenter and I have been an all-rounder, presenting the graveyard shift, the break-fast show, death notices, Nne na vhone and reading news.”

She had earned herself an award in the best female presenter category for her excellent present-ing. She was honoured by the Pan South African Language Board. The award rewarded her for her sublime command of Tshivenda, something that distinguishes her from plenty of her peers. “The award motivated me and affi rmed that I am doing a good job when I am on air,” she said.

She sees herself as a hard work-er - a woman who juggles her career, her social life and family life with ease. She is the mother of three boys, who also holds a BA in communications from the University of Limpopo and is currently studying towards an LLB with Unisa.

She is a dedicated student who does not see herself stopping her pursuit of an education any time soon. “What is a human being without education?” she said. “Rich or poor, we all owe it to ourselves to be educated, hence I will never stop studying. It’s up to all of you young people to make this journey with me or live to regret a missed opportunity.”

Her journey as a radio anchor started at the Univen Radio way back in 2003, when she read news and presented the Mid-Morning Breeze. “That was me at a young age and I really enjoyed my stay at the station,” she said. “The fact that one could do as many shows as possible really made me a better presenter.”

Her interests include a taste for casual clothes. “I don’t prefer any style,” she said. “When it comes to music, I prefer anything that makes me feel young. For food, I like sweet potato, because it goes with anything. And I love cricket and athletics.”

She presents Mulayo u ri mini (Dial A Lawyer) from 20:30 to 21:00 on Mondays. She is also in-volved in a wide range of shows

as a producer. She hails from Shayandima in the Thohoyandou area.

Book boarding in advance

Government officials scrutinize activities at Venetia

Pet owners who wish to board their pets (cats and dogs) at the SPCA’s Louis Trichardt kennels during the December holidays must do so in advance.

Bookings can only be made with Mr Lawrence Khodobo between 08:00 and 16:00 and no other book-ings will be accepted.

“Please do not leave a voice mes-sage on any phone and presume your booking has been accepted. It will not be accepted. We also ask that you do not leave a message with one of the kennel staff,” said Mrs Bea Reimer of the local SPCA.

All pets, cats and dogs, must be inoculated, de-wormed and bathed or dipped before coming into the kennels.

“We will need proof of yearly inoculations, as well as rabies inoc-ulation when you bring your pet in,” said Reimer.

Inoculation must take place 10 days before the pet is brought to the ken-nels. Reimer and Khodobo must also be made aware of pets on medication while these are at the kennels.

“If you intend leaving your pets at home during the holiday, please make adequate arrangements with a reliable person for them. Remember, there will be fireworks while you are away, so be prepared,” Reimer warned.

The boarding fees are R40 per dog per day and R30 per cat per day. Of-fice hours at the kennels are Monday to Friday from 08:00 until 17:00 and Saturdays from 08:00 until 13:00. The kennels are closed on Sundays and public holidays. People bringing their pets must do so within business hours. Pets left at the kennels over the weekend must be picked up on Monday, unless arrangements are made before the time.

The SPCA remain reliant on do-nations to keep their doors open. For those wishing to make a donation, the local SPCA’s banking details are SPCA Louis Trichardt, Standard Bank, account number 282374639 and branch code 052 549.

For more information or in case of emergencies, phone Lawrence at 082 965 5151 or Reimer at 082 424 5712.

Some of the Limpopo government delegates pose for a photograph with the management of Venetia Mine during the visit by the Limpopo government.

A high-ranking delegation from the Limpopo provincial government, led by the MEC for Eco-nomic Development Environment and Tourism, Mr Seaparo Sekoati, Education MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe and the MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Ms Joy Mashoge, visited the Venetia Mine last Thursday to scrutinize

the progress that has been made at the mine.

Mr Ludi von Maltiz, the general manager of the mine, expressed the hope that the officials from the gov-ernment would inform the outside world about what was happening at the mine.

He said that they were doing their best to make rural scholars take ed-ucation seriously and that the mine was proud of its partnership with the Department of Education.

“We are also supporting four schools with the building of new classrooms and refurbishing the old and dilapidated schools,” said Von Maltiz.

He said the mine was also assist-ing some nearby communities with infrastructure programmes and also improving the skills of teachers of schools which are found near the mine.

Venetia Mine is situated near Musi-na, close to Botswana and Zimbabwe, and is one of De Beers’ major dia-mond-mining operations. The mine opened on 14 August 1992.

MEC Sekoati said the government was excited that the jobs of min-ers at Venetia would be sustained through the extension of the mine underground, which was scheduled to commence in 2021 and would continue to 2043.

Community celebrates Festival of Lights

“Identify future leaders in advance”

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, will be cel-ebrated by the local as well as the interna-tional Hindu commu-nity on Wednesday, 11 November.

During the festive period, firecrackers will be discharged at the homes of members of the local Hindu com-munity. The Festival of Lights signifies the return of Ram to his kingdom, after 14 years of banishment to the forest.

According to the Louis Trichardt Hindu Seva Samaj, the local Hindu community will discharge fireworks from 9 to 16 November between the hours of 18:00 and 22:00. They will also celebrate the dawning of New Year 2072 on 12 November 2015.

Members of the local Hindu community will discharge fireworks re-sponsibly and at their own risk.

Senior traditional leaders in the Vhembe region of Limpopo were urged to identify core roy-al family members in an effort to avoid traditional leadership squabbles when it is necessary to appoint the next heir.

This comes after the workshop for the identification and docu-mentation of the core royal fam-ily members recently organized by the Department of Traditional Affairs and the Department of Cooperative Governance, Set-tlements and Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA). The workshop was held in the former Venda Parliamentary buildings in Tho-hoyandou.

“We were invited by the Vhavenda King, Toni Mphephu Ramabulana and COGHSTA to discuss all relevant issues surrounding the appoinment of leaders. We discovered that, after the death of the chief, some royal families caused division when they wanted to appoint an heir. If the family or clan has iden-tified and documented the next ruler, the community and other royal family members will have an easy task to have a peaceful transition,” said Ms Welile Khuz-wayo, the director of the research unit in COGHSTA.

Khuzwayo warned that, unless all members of the royal family

were listed to be part of the exercise, they would be rejected whenever an opportunity arose. The spokesperson for the King, Mr Jackson Mafunzwaini, said about 28 Vhavenda senior tra-ditional leaders in the Vhembe region had attended the work-shop.“We hope this and similar workshops will help in resolving traditional disputes and squab-bles that always arise among the Vhavenda chiefs when appoint-ing an heir. We strongly applaud the way that our traditional lead-ers turned up in large numbers to get information that will help them and their communities,” said Mafunzwaini.

Safety campaign at Siloam schoolsThe police at Siloam have embarked on a “Safety in Schools” campaign in order to prevent situations where pupils harm, hurt or kill one another or educators at cen-tres of learning.

The police teamed up with the Department of Correctional Services, Victim Empower-ment and the Community Po-licing Forum and paid several schools unannounced visits. They searched the pupils and confiscated laptops, cell phones and knives.

According to the spokesperson for the Siloam police, W/O Edward Tharaga, the station wanted to fight and eliminate all crim-inal elements in the schools and among the youths.

“We don’t want to wait until our children harm or kill one an-other in the schools,” he said. “Pupils are exposed to a world of alcohol and drug abuse and as such we want to eliminate all those elements from among them. We be-lieve that the police’s duty is not to sit in our offices and wait for victims of crime to come to report crimes. As law-enforcers and the force that has been mandated to ensure peace and safety in our society, we will nev-er wait until we have

confiscated all weapons from our children in the schools.”

A school principal, who can-not be named to protect the identities of the pupils who were found in possession of illegal and prohibited items, said that they appreciated the police’s cooperation in the quest for safety in schools. “It is a fact that teachers alone cannot manage to maintain safety in schools,” she said. “Just imagine if the school has nearly a 1 000 pupils - who has to search all of them one by one? Will we ever get any time

to teach them? It is also the par-ents’ duty to make sure that they monitor their children closely. Sometimes it is also good to take a child’s bag and look if there are no any illegal items.”

A 14-year-old pupil said that he supported the police’s operation. “I see nothing wrong in being searched because you will never know what some of us have inside our schoolbags,” he said. “The police’s visibility in schools encourages a safe environment for us all. We need to feel safe in our schools.”

New skills for chicken farmers

“Live healthy lives and let’s kick TB and AIDS”

MEC urges public to treat mental patients with care

Struggling chicken farmers in the Vhembe region recently received a major boost when the Department of Agriculture in Vhembe invited them to a farmers day

The event took place at the Musera Agricultural Cooperative in Maun-gani-Tshimboni. The workshop was the initiative of the Vhembe Depart-ment of Agriculture, which roped in experts in the field who shared their expertise with the farmers.

Farmers were also afforded the chance to interact with the experts about the individual challenges they come across in the day-to-day running of their businesses.

Dubbed The proper handling of broiler and feeds management Farm-ers Day, the day was a huge success, with more than 300 up-and-coming farmers and workers at the coopera-tive in attendance. The coordinator, Mr Hollic Netshirungulu, a senior agricultural advisor in the Department of Agriculture in Vhembe, said the farmers day came about as a result

of the plight of farmers who needed assistance in running their businesses in a professional way.

“As a department, our mandate is to see to it that farmers get the necessary assistance they need in their farming businesses. In this instance,it was found that chicken farmers in the region are running at losses due to a lack of information and knowledge.”

He indicated that they would keep on assisting farmers wherever they were organized. On behalf of the farmers and the community, Khosi Vho Ndulamiso Vincent Magoda commended the department for being close to the people.

“This is good for farmers. Many of us who are in the business lack the know-how, and without this valuable knowledge, our businesses would soon be history. We give all our thanks to the experts who gave us time to interact with them and to voice our challenges in the business, and we encourage more and more of such workshops,” he said.

Hundreds of residents in and around Lwamondo took part in the TB and HIV/Aids awareness campaign at the Munna Ndi Nnyi’s sports grounds on Saturday.

Although the main focus of the day was on sporting activities, particularly by the elderly as an effort to combat and prevent tuberculosis and encourage healthy living, the event started with a formal programme where different stakeholders addressed the people.

“Our elderly will soon play soccer to promote the kicking of TB,” said Munna Ndi Nnyi’s director, Mr Bardwell Mu-funwaini.

He indicated that the organisation had realised that many people tended to get sick during summer because of high tem-peratures. It was important to exercise as it helped prevent the rate of possible patients who would be admitted to hospitals. “We

can defeat TB, and it is curable,” he said. “We encourage healthy living for those who are infected with HIV. Yes, it is our duty and responsibility that new infections of HIV are prevented by all means.”

He stressed that making use of a condom during sexual intercourse and abstaining from sex remained the two major ways of preventing the spread of HIV and Aids .

There were some residents who raised some concerned about sentenced offend-ers who would just get released without finishing their sentences and without the community’s knowledge. It was said that those ex-offenders tended to commit crimes again within their very commu-nities.

The representative from the Department of Correctional Services, Mr Mbhadzima Baloyi, said that it was sad to hear that offenders who were placed on parole

were doing crimes again. “We will pres-ent your concerns to our offices to make sure that this issue is dealt with,” he said. “We are looking forward to sitting down with our chiefs and seeing if it will not be helpful for us to provide them with a list of offenders from their area who will be released on parole. This will help the chiefs to welcome those offenders back into the community and make sure that they are monitored all the time.”

Vhomme Vho-Divhani Tshivhase urged women to respect their husbands, raise their children in love and be a source of motivation in the communities. “Never give up on what you believe in, and be responsible with your life. Do not accept failure before attempting doing some-thing.”

Later on in the day, the elderly were in-volved in many sporting games to promote healthy living.

The MEC for Health in Limpopo, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, told chief execu-tive officers from various hospitals in Vhembe to do their utmost to ensure that their patients receive fair treat-ment.

Ramathuba and Thovhele Gole Mpha-phuli addressed the Hayani hospital com-munity on Tuesday to create awareness about the treatment of mental patients and also to inform the communities about the treatment of these patients. “As gov-ernment, we request the communities to

develop measures to deal with the current challenges relating to the treatment of people suffering from mental illness. We need your assistance, because without families and communities supporting us we cannot deliver quality care to our mentally ill people,” she said.

MEC Ramathuba expressed apprecia-tion for the initiative of some traditional leaders in the Vhembe region, such as Chiefs Mashamba and Rambuda, who are participating in programmes about mental illness “and I urge other leaders to learn

the good work from them.”The CEO of the Hayani Hospital, Ms

Rudzani Tshikovhi, said she and the management of the hospital were doing their best to address the challenges facing psychiatric patients in the hospital and asserted that the visit by the MEC would encourage them to do more.

“Although our hospital’s buildings are old and dilapidated, we are trying to make our hospital a centre of excellence from which other hospitals in the province could learn.”


“Please come back, my son”An apparent misunderstanding about money-related matters has caused a teenager to run away from home, and now a loving mother is worried about his safety and life.

The 42-year-old Ms Joyce Ses-hohli told Limpopo Mirror about her frustration and anguish. She explained that she had confronted her 16-year-old son, Mpho Ses-hohli, some time ago, accusing him of taking some money out of her purse without telling her about it. “When I confronted him about the issue, he just walked out of our home and said he would not come back again,” she said.

“It happened in February this year and now we are worried about his safety. We have no idea where he is. He is our child and we love him. He must just come back home,” she said.

Seshohli said that Mpho’s three-year-old sister would go out of the house and stand on the verandah every evening.

“She calls for Mpho every day, shouting ‘Mpho! Mpho! When are you returning?’ And it stresses me, you know.”

She added that she believed that her son was still alive and staying somewhere. “I inquired with all rel-atives and friends here in Limpopo and Gauteng, but they all said that they had not heard from him or seen him,” she said. “I just want Mpho to understand that I have forgiven him. Please, Mpho, wherever you are, my son, I ask you to forgive me. And as proof that you have accepted my plea for forgiveness, come back home.”

The spokesperson for the Tshil-wavhusiku police, Serg Thilivhali Maloa, confirmed that the police had opened a missing-person file.

At the time of his disappearance, Mpho was a Grade 10 pupil at Sinthumule High School. He was last seen on 6 February, wearing a short-sleeved, red and blue T-shirt, dark blue jeans and All Star tekkies.

Ms Joyce Seshohli pleads for her missing son to come back home.

“Prayer conquers all” - Comm Mashilo

Gender awareness campaign at Tshifulani

Pure water for children of Vutlhari

The Ndi Nnyi? Men’s Forum, aimed at creating awareness about gender-based violence and its prevention, will hold an awareness campaign at the Moon Rovers grounds at Tshif-ulani tomorrow (Saturday).

The campaign will start at 10:00 and different speakers will

discuss several issues. The chair-person of the forum, Mr Bardwell Mufunzwaini, stressed that men should not keep quiet about gen-der-based violence. “They must raise their voices at home, in their workplaces and also in their places of worship.” According to him, “it is our responsibility to

create and keep a violence-free society by engaging communities to report gender-based violence to the police”. Mufunzwaini added that they were worried that numerous gender-based violence cases were not reported to the police, “because perpetrators are breadwinners in the family”.

The scarcity of water continues to affect many areas in the province, but this becomes a tragedy if some centres that ca-ter for vulnerable children and the elderly go without water.

The South African Custodial Management, operating as Ku-tama Sinthumule Correctional Centre outside Louis Trichardt, heard the plea of the Vutlhari Stimulation and Disability Centre in Mamaila village near Masa-kona. They recently drilled a borehole, equipped it and erected a tank for them.

“We have long realised that unless we all get up onto our feet and help our community struc-tures with necessities which they

Maj General Lesiba Mashilo, who was the acting police commissioner during a re-cent police prayer day at the Charis Missionary Church at Makwarela, emphasised the power of prayer to curb the scourge of police killings and spiralling crime.

He added that the SAPS had so far lost more than 60 offi-cers in the line of duty and this had become a source of great concern. Speaking during the service, which was attended by clerics from different local

churches, families of police offi-cers and police officers from all over the province, Mashilo said the killing of police had reached alarming proportions and that, despite the many preventative measures they had in place, the killings were continuing. “We are here commemorating those members who passed on in the line of duty. We are here to give hope to their families and to show that we are doing whatev-er possible and at our disposal to stop the carnage against police.” He added that criminals lived

“in our midst” and he begged the public to be the ears and eyes of the police “that we root this criminality once and for all for this place to become a peaceful place for all.”

Thohoyandou Cluster head Brig Mbhazima Ngobeni said the area was plagued by crimes such as robbery and rapes. “With the cooperation we are getting from the community, we will make this area a crime-free area where criminals will not have anywhere to hide,” he said.

Deep in prayer, police and members of the community seek divine intervention in the fight against crime.

need in order to function properly or give help to the needy, no one else will come from a dis-tant place and offer that help,” said the prison director, Mr Lazarus Ncongwane.

“We can all see with our naked eyes that this centre will not operate effectively without wa-ter. We officially hand this water borehole to the Vutlhari centre,” he added

During the recent handover, Ncongwane expressed his disap-pointment when he no-ticed that the centre had not started cultivating a vegetable garden in the centre since a bore-hole was drilled about a month ago. “Where is the garden here? I don’t see any garden here,” he asked. “We donated this borehole to you so that, in addition to using water for daily domestic chores and functions, you must also minimise

the food cost by planting vegeta-bles for the centre’s use.”

The managing director for Vutlhari Stimulation and Dis-ability Centre, Mr Pheko Baloyi, explained to the prison director that they had not started with a small-scale garden because they had no proper fencing. “The children will just uproot the plants and throw them around,” he said. “Nevertheless, we thank Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre for giving us continued support. We are drinking and using the water which you have given to us. Once we have erected a fence to separate the children’s hall and the garden yard, we will start cultivating.”

At the moment, Vutlhari Stim-ulation and Disability Centre has 23 children living with disabilities and four adults.

During the handover, Old Mu-tual’s marketing development consultant, Ms Khosi Manana, pledged a donation of R20 000 to the centre. Manana and some colleagues from their Louis Trich-ardt and Elim offices had brought some food with them, using mon-ey from their own pockets. “The situation at this disbility centre only tells us as a nation that we are not complete if we do not care for these children,” she said.

Vutlhari Stimulation and Dis-ability Centre can be reached at 073 474 8815.

KSCC’s Mr Lazarus Ncongwane handed over a borehole to Vutlhari Stimulation and Disability Centre’s Mr Pheko Baloyi.

The disabled children were excited about the new borehole at the centre.

Crime

Jail time for attempt to poach a rhinoA young man who tried to poach a rhino on a local farm paid for his mistake by being sent to jail for 11 years.

In an unusual turn of events the rhino was not killed, a fact that attracted lots of praise for the local K9 unit of the Makhado Police station. The unit played a vital role in not only catching the poacher, but also gathering the evidence that led to his con-viction.

Prince Talani Maluleke (20) from Mutale was found guilty of illegal hunting, trespassing and the illegal possession of an unli-censed firearm and ammunition. He appeared in the Louis Trich-ardt Regional Court on Tuesday, 27 October, where his sentence was handed down.

Maluleke was caught on 21 May 2014, together with his co-accused, Vincent Ramavho-ho, near the farm where they intended to hunt a rhino. (At the request of the owner, the farm’s name is being withheld). Ram-avhoho passed away in a vehicle accident shortly after the criminal trial commenced.

Their tracks gave away their wicked intentions. Farm workers

had noticed human tracks that were following a set of rhino spoor on the farm.

The farm owners were notified immediately, and a tracking team was assembled. This team consisted of three private heli-copters, the K9-unit, farmers and experienced trackers from the surrounding farms.

Local police at first held Mal-uleke and Ramavhoho for ques-tioning after they found them walking along a dirt road close to the farm.

The policemen made a request for the K9-unit and trackers to leave the farm to come and inspect the two suspects’ shoes. Unaware of this request for their assistance, the trackers followed the suspicious tracks found near the rhino spoor and were led right up to place in the road where Maluleke and Ramavhoho were being held for questioning.

Sgt. Anton Jongbloed, one of the K9’s dog masters, testified that he was able to lift two cast impressions of the suspicious tracks found on the farm. He was able to match them positively to the shoes that Maluleke and Ramovhoho were wearing at the

time of their arrest.Upon questioning, the two laid

bare their plan to hunt a rhino. They also pointed out a place next to the road where they had hidden a .303-rifle, knives and an axe when they heard the ap-proaching helicopters.

During the trial, Maluleke de-nied the allegations against him, saying he was never found on the farm, that the rifle belonged to Ramovhoho and that he had been coerced into his confession. The court, however, found that the evidence of the tracks was irrefutable and found Maluleke guilty on all the charges.

Maluleke was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment on the charge of illegal hunting, five years for the illegal possession of a firearm, six months for trespassing and one year for the illegal possession of ammunition. The sentence for the trespassing and possession of ammunition was ordered to run consecutively. This means that, in effect, Mal-uleke was sentenced to at least 11 years’ imprisonment. He will only be eligible for parole after he has served a third of his sentence.

Colbert celebrates 50th birthday in styleIt was all day full of music and dancing for hundreds of peo-ple who attended the Home Roots Revival Music festival during the recent birthday celebrations of the legendary reggae artist, Colbert Muk-wevho.

Mukwevho turned 50 this year and said at first that he wanted to celebrate his 50th birthday in Gauteng, but his fans and his home community in

Limpopo demanded that the cel-ebrations be in Thohoyandou. It was held at the 2010 Centre in Thohoyandou.

The festival was held in conjunction with PhalaPhala FM, Murangi Productions and Vhandinda Shuttle and Sig-nanage and local artists such as Zozo, Khakhathi and Friends, Kenny Murabi, Shufflers, Makhadzi, Jahman Tshigan-zha, Humbulani Ramagwedzha

and many entertained the people.

Amid the festivities, Muk-wevho expressed his worries about the growing of music piracy “which is killing our music to zero, because you can find your CD sold as cheaply as R5 or R10 on the pavements of all corners of the region.” He said that musicians must now rely on live performances for an income.

Colbert Mukwevho in full flight.


Home Defenders the Mambila championsMpheni Home Defenders emerged as the champions of the Mambila Driving School Top 8, after they beat Mukon-deni Ratanang 5-3 in a penalty shoot-out at Vleifontein on Saturday.

The sponsor, Mr Walter Mug-wena, manager of Mambila Driving School, said that the donation clearly indicated that his company wanted to serve members of the community in order to bring development of sport in the area. “We are part of this community and we are doing this to support local people,” he said. He concluded by saying his company would continue to sponsor the tournament.

The organiser, Mr Norman Ramutsindela, said sport without education meant nothing. “You can be a star today and be written off the following day. Education will never forsake you, and you can bank on it,” he added.

Ramutsindela said young ones must regards stars as role models, irrespective of whether they were educated or not.

He criticized teachers who are involved in drugs. “Imagine the teacher who is supposed to be role model is selling dagga to the pupils. What type of future leaders are we expecting from that generation? We are also se-riously concerned about commu-nity members who sell alcoholic

beverages to school kids.”He said the players had trained

hard in order to excel at their activities and mentioned the names of several national and intertantional players with roots in the Vhembe district.

A prize of R2 500 and a trophy went to the champions, Mphe-ni Home Defenders. The run-ners-up, Mukondeni Ratanang, received R1 500 and the two teams that lost in the semifinals, Mukondeni Shooting Stars and Mpheni Young Stars, received R500 each. The tournament will be cater for teams from around Vhembe next year and it is ex-peected that more than 30 teams will participate.

For some people, popularity, fame and financial success seem to arrive without their spending a lot of effort, but for others they come at great expense. One such person who had to work ex-tremely hard to achieve his goals is 36-year-old athlete Jacob Chivambu.

This energetic man from Mulenzhe village (Piet Boy) started his career in athletics some 20 years ago and he has participated in several major marathons in South Africa. The lack of financial support, however, seems to be dragging his talent down the drain as he is spending more of his time in the village while he should have been participating in national and international marathons.

“I have participated in hundreds of mar-athons and did leave a strong mark in most of those marathons,” he said. “Sometimes I qualify to run in Botswana, Lesotho or Ghana, but I usually fail to make it to distant places or countries because I find myself without money to cover my trans-port and accommodation fees.”

This athlete has accumulated many medals and cash prizes throughout the years. He also earned himself huge respect from his community and the district with his achievements as an athlete.

Chivambu’s list of achievements in-clude a fourth place in the Land of Legends Marathon 2001. He achieved another milestone in 2013 when he finished the gruelling Two Oceans Marathon.

“I started by playing soccer as a boy, but I soon realised that I was not as good at it as I am at running long distances. That was when I switched to being an athlete who competes with other marathon runners.”

Jacob Chivambu is a victorious athlete who can go no further than the confines of his province if he is not fully supported.

He mentioned athletes such as Bethuel Net-shifhefhe and Stephen Muzhingi as his sources of inspiration.

“They are good marathon runners and their ground-breaking achievements and victories con-tinue to encourage me,” he said. “I just believe that there’s a lot of good things in store for us athletes, provided we are given enough support.”

Those interested in supporting Chivambu can contact him on 0718298392.

Community members, relatives and col-leagues from MTG Funeral paid their last respects to well-known Khathutshelo “Good-man” Nemukula (32), one of the workers of the company who was laid to rest at Tshidimbini on Sunday.

He recently died in an accident that happened a fortnight ago at Tshiozwi. Nemukula lost control of his car and it overturned.

All the speakers at the funeral described Goodman as a pioneer, a born leader and a man of vision. President of Vefpa (Vhembe Funeral Practitioners Association), Mr Patrick Mahani, said that the organisation, community members

around Vhembe, family and friends were still shocked about the untimely death of the dedicat-ed, disciplined and charismatic Goodman. “We are greatly saddened about the untimely death of Goodman. Our organisation has been robbed of a committed, hard-working person and we will miss him,” said Mahani.

According to manager of MTG, Mr Shudu Magwabeni Goodman was a good man who had helped everyone, regardless of their circumstanc-es. He said that the family and company were in great pain after losing one of their beloved members.

“We are greatly saddened by his death, but

we will have to accept it, because God’s will has been done.” He added that MTG and the community had lost one of its pillars, who had always been working hard towards the develop-ment of the company.

Magwabeni extended his condolences to the bereaved family, and indicated that the asso-ciation would sorely miss the good working relationship and support they had received from the Nemukula family. “The role he played in fostering unity, discipline, hard work and ded-ication within the family and community shall always be cherished,” Magwabeni continued; “it shows that Goodman was a people person

and accommodating to everyone, irrespective of colour, race or religion. He was a visionary and the strategic thinker of the company.”

His elder brother, Mr Khangweleni Nemukula, said that it was hard to accept the death of his brother. “We know that God did His will for a reason. Our hearts are bleeding as we lost a pillar in our community and a hardworking person. We depended on him for advice and we learnt a lot from him during his lifetime. For so many years, he served selfl essly and faithfully in parishes throughout the country, and in those dark days he made himself available day and night to all who needed him,” he concluded.

Can the struggling Black Leopards overpower Vasco da Gama in the NFD clash?It remains to be seen whether Black Leopards will rise to the occasion and beat Vasco da Gama when they meet in their National First Division League match at the Thohoyandou Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

Leopards started the season on a high note, but their performance has been deteriorating time after

time. The Thohoyandou outfi t lost their fourth match in a row last weekend. Santos beat them 2-1 in Cape Town.

Leopards are lying in the 10th spot on the log after their recent poor results. Da Gama are two steps below Lidoda Duvha on the latest league log. According to Leopards’ assistant coach, Mr

Mongezi Bobe, his side has a score to settle with Vasco da Gama. Da Gama beat Leopards 3-2 in their Nedbank Cup KO competition match at the Thohoyandou Stadium fi ve months ago.

When asked about their state of readiness for the game, Bobe stated that his charges were ready for the game, except for Jonathan King and their

number one goalkeeper, Avhashoni Tshinuna. Tshinuna was carried off the fi eld during their game against Highlands Park at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Wednesday and is still nursing a knee injury. Lebohang Mabotja and Marks Munyai will do the job in the absence of King.

Moroka Swallows will host Witbank Spurs at the Dobsonville Stadium, while Amazulu and Highlands Park will meet at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban.

Cape Town All Stars and Mbombela United will lock horns at the Athlone Stadium, while FC Cape Town and Santos will meet at the NNK Rugby Stadium in their Cape Town derby. Royal Eagles will pay a visit to Mthatha Bucks at the Mthatha Stadium.

The match between African Warriors and Than-da Royal Zulu will be played at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in Phutaditshaba and Milano United will entertain Baroka FC at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

National First Division

Ravele Highlanders were beaten 6-4 by Gogobole Bucs after a pen-alty shoot-out in the final of the Hibude tournament in Gogobole on Sunday. After regulated time, the score was 1-1.

Highlanders enjoyed more ball possession, but their promising moves were turned into a disappointment as the Bucs' defenders stood their ground. No goals were seen during the first half. This trend continued in the second half and was influenced mainly by the fact that Highlanders were cooling the ball down in the middle of the park, thus giving their opponents no chance to do as they pleased.

Although two of their key players went into the referee's book, Bucs continued to fight as an organised team. The two players who were cautioned with cards for rough tack-

ling were Nyandano Rathumbu and Hulisani Mbodi.

Highlanders came close to scoring in the 35th minute. Everyone was convinced that Khorombi Gadisi would have scored after he had beaten goalkeeper Khongela Baloyi and was left with the empty net, but his shot missed the pole by an inch.

Highlanders came back strongly in the last half. They continued to mount pressure on the defence of the local lads.

They were the first to draw blood in the 60th minute after a defender of the home team handled the ball in his penalty area and the referee pointed to the white spot. Hulisani Mbodi converted this penalty into a goal. Bucs' long-awaited goal came in the 84th minute, when Try Sebola dribbled past three defenders in a row and scored easily.

The affiliates of the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League will be engaged in their league activities this weekend. Seven matches will be played at different venues throughout the province tomorrow afternoon, while only one will be seen on Sunday afternoon.

While most of the teams will be playing their third league matches this season, the situation is totally different with the only Vhembe District-based side, Joe Maweja FC. Maweja will be playing their debut league match tomorrow. They will host Giyani Hotspurs at the Tshifulanani Stadium.

Maweja’s marksman, Khuliso Netshaulu, will watch the game from the grandstand. He is still recovering from the injuries he sustained when he was knocked down by a ve-hicle two weeks ago. Khumbudzo Muvhango, the team’s dribbling wizard, is likely to be Netshaulu’s replacement tomorrow. Hotspurs will not find it easy to penetrate through the defence of Maweja, which is marshalled by Dakalo “DK” Ratshitanga, Aubrey Ndou and Mashudu Makhari.

Nkowankowa Barcelona will fight for league points with The Dolphins at the Nkow-ankowa Stadium in Tzaneen. Barcelona are an unknown team to Dolphins, as they are rook-ies in the ABC Motsepe League. Bellevue Winners Park will travel to Polokwane where they will try their luck against Polokwane United at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

The other ABC Motsepe newcomers, Boyne Young Tigers, will play in front of their home crowd. They will entertain A1 Terrors at the Boyne Stadium in Polokwane. Gawula Classic, or Dynamos FC as they were formerly called, will visit the Polokwane Academy at the Polokwane Rugby Stadium.

The match not to be missed will be between Magezi FC and Bilika All Stars at the TT Cholo Stadium in Polokwane.

Magezi are the defending champions. Great North FC will meet Mighty FC at the Seshego Stadium in their Polokwane derby, while Mosesetjane All Stars and Lephalale Young Killers will do battle for league points at the TT Cholo Stadium in the only match that will be played on Sunday.

It is now or never for Tshakhuma Na Ndilani in Nedbank CupA large number of local soccer lovers will converge at the Mak-warela Stadium tomorrow for the much-awaited SAB teams Nedbank Cup provincial tournament.

The overall winners from the five regional associations in the province will battle it out for the provincial championship. The Vhembe Regional Associations will be represented by Tshakhuma Na Ndilani FC (TNN). They beat United Artists 2-1 in the regional final at the Tshifulanani Stadium two weeks ago, to secure a

place in the provincial final.The teams that will represent the

other regions in the tournament are: Emmanuel Iron Breakers from Mopani, Tau Tau FC (Capricorn) and Jane Furse Highlanders from the Sekhukhune District. The Waterberg District was still to announce their overall winner at the time of our going to press.

When asked about their level of readiness for the tournament, the coach of TNN, Mr Mashudu “Coo-lio” Ndou, said that they were ready

to face any opposition. According to him, all his charges are razor sharp.

Ndou revealed that his team did not stop training after beating United Artists to secure a place in the pro-vincial tournament. He indicated that the fact that they will be hosting the tournament will be a plus to them as they will be playing in front of their home crowd. He added that stars such as Godfrey Ndou, Oscar Ntshauba, Rolivhuwa Mukwevho and Rofhiwa “Danger” Netshiungani were some of their secret weapons.

The overall winner in tomorrow’s tournament will meet the overall win-ners of the ABC Motsepe League to determine the team that will represent the province in the national top-32 stage. Sixteen Absa Premiership teams, eight from the National First Division and eight from the amateur level, will battle it out in the last-32 stage.

The former head coach of the Absa Premier-ship side Polokwane City, Mr Kostadin Papic, will be on Black Leopards’ technical bench when the Thohoyandou side hosts Vasco da Gama in their NFD League match at the Thohoyandou Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

When requested to confi rm the breaking news, the chairman of the club, Mr David Thidiela, refused to commit himself. He reluctantly con-fi rmed, however, that there will be a new mentor tomorrow.

When asked as to whether the new coach was a local man or an import, Thidiela said that whoever wanted to see the new coach must go to the Thohoyandou Stadium where the new mentor will be giving instructions to the boys from the bench.

Although Thidiela vehemently refused to make further comments on the matter, Limpopo Mirror can safely reveal that the Serbian national, Mr Kostadin Papic, is the team’s new head coach.

Kostadin Papic is not a new name in the history book of Black Leopards. He guided Lidoda Du-vha for one season two years ago.

During his stay with Black Leopards in the 2013/14 soccer season, Papic achieved much within a short space of time. He guided Leopards to the fi nal of the Nedbank Cup, where they lost 1-2 to Orlando Pirates.

Black Leopards played in the promotional play-off matches the very same season under the guidance of the soft-spoken Papic.

He left Black Leopards for the Absa Pre-miership side, Chippa United, at the beginning of the 2014/15 soccer season. His relationship with Chippas lasted for only two months. He then moved to Polokwane City, the side he saved from relegation last season. He resigned from Polokwane City last month, after a string of poor results.

Papic could not be reached for comment, as his phone was always on voicemail.

Another defeat for LeopardsBlack Leopards are fast becoming the milk cow of the National First Division. They lost their fourth league match in a row, when they suf-fered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Santos at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town last Saturday.

Suhayl Sallie scored a brace, with his opening goal coming in the 18th minute while the second was scored in the 67th minute.

Morgan Shivambu scored Leopards’ solitary goal in the 27th minute.

Leopards dropped from the 8th to the 10th posi-tion on the log, following the series of poor results. Not long ago, they were in the top three.

African Warriors are still battling to come to terms with what happened to them at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane last Saturday.

They were brutally walloped 6-0 by Baroka FC. The Polokwane side were on the score sheet

within 15 minutes, with Thabiso Kutumela hitting the target with a volley.

Nkosinathi Ndlovu netted twice before Loyiso Simandla added the fourth to bring the half-time score to 4-0.

Ndlovu was on target again in the 60th minute, before Kutumela completed his brace six minutes before the fi nal whistle.

After beating Baroka 3-1 at eMalahleni last Wednesday, Witbank Spurs came back with empty hands from Durban last Saturday.

They lost 0-3 to Royal Eagles at the King Zwelithini Stadium. The former Black Leopards star Khethowakhe Masuku scored a brace, with Siyanda Ngubo scoring the third in the dying min-utes of the game.

There was a four-goal thriller at the Umhlatuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay as Thanda

Royal Zulu and Moro-ka Swallows drew 2-2. Thanda were the first to score, when Sidudzo D l a m i n i b e a t t h e keeper with a ground cutter in the 18th min-ute. James Bell leveled matters for Swallows. Siyabonga Nomvete scored the second for Swallows in the 49th minute, but Thanda re-fused to die and they snatched a late equalizer via Sibongiseni Zuma in the 87th minute.

Highlands Park reg-istered their second vic-tory in a row when they beat Mthatha Bucks 2-0 at the Makhulong Stadi-um in Thembisa.
