Two men ar rested for stealing groceries Lizzy Bapela Lizzy Bapela Two men from Bela-Bela were arrested after allegedly stealing groceries from Bela-Bela High School. Police spokesperson Constable Glen Manamela told The BEAT that the men allegedly broke into the school on Monday, 19 January, and stole bags of mealie meal, rice, cooking oil and boxes of pilchards as well as fruit and electrical appliances, among other things. Constable Manamela said that the police were conducting investigations on the case when they received information about the suspect’s whereabouts, and arrested him at home. She added that the suspect was found in possession of the instruments used to break into the school in addition to the stolen goods, which were confiscated upon his arrest. Manamela said that the second suspect
was also found in the township, with other stolen items. Lucas Mogashoa, a teacher at the school, told The BEAT that only a few of the stolen items had been confiscated and returned to the school. He added that the situation was worrying, as the stolen goods constituted a large part of the school’s basic food supply for its students. “We are still waiting to hear more about the case from the police and it was confirmed that there were arrests made, giving us hope that the stolen items would soon be returned. The stolen items can feed hundreds of learners and this is sure to affect their performance. The suspects, Alpheus Mokgotho (30) and Solly Mabetwa (35) were charged with theft and appeared before the BelaBela Magistrate’s court on Tuesday, 20 January.

Headless antelope causes upsets
A gruesome scene played itself out in the parking area of the Mokopane Library recently. Photo supplied An ibex carcass without a head was found in the parking area of the Mokopane Library recently. According to municipal workers who are being prevented from returning to work by the feud between controversial public figure Thlalefi Mashamaite and mayor Malose Mabuela, the carcass is a message intended to serve as a warning. Municipal officers and employees have been gathering outside the library for more than a month after they were evicted by Mashamaite and his cronies. According to some of the workers, the carcass is a message from people who
want to scare them. These people, according to the workers, are trying to prevent them from resuming their posts at the Mogalakwena Municipality. Marcelle Maritz, manager of the Percy Fyfe Animal Control, said that a case of animal abuse is being investigated while one of the Mogalakwena Residents’ Association’s spokesperson told media that they refuse to be intimidated. In the meantime there have been no further developments at the municipality. Residents are still complaining about service delivery, and the situation remains unchanged. LiN News/Northern News

The suspect in a car theft case was first reluctant to co-operate with the police. Photo: Lizzy Bapela Lizzy Bapela Lizzy Bapela A 40-year old man appeared before the Bela-Bela Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 19 January in connection with car theft. Bela-Bela police spokesperson Constable Glen Manamela said that the police received information on Saturday, 17 January, about a vehicle that had been hidden in a shack for three weeks at Dunuza Informal Settlement, and acted swiftly. Manamela told The BEAT that once the suspect, Cornelius van Rensburg, realized that the police were at his house, he fled to his grandmother’s house. The police asked the local scrapyard team to tow the vehicle, a blue Toyota Hilux Raider, to the police station’s scrapyard.
According to police the car was stolen in Sinoville, Pretoria, recently, and a case was opened with the local police. The suspect was arrested shortly after the bakkie was confiscated and charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle. The owner told police that the car had been stolen while parked at a mall in Pretoria. Van Rensburg, who told the police that he is unemployed, was strongly warned to cooperate with the police. The police found an employee at the shack. He was taken in for questioning and released once the actual suspect was caught and arrested. The suspect remained in custody after his first court appearance and his case was postponed to Monday, 26 January for formal bail application. Investigations in the case are still proceeding.

Mautsana was described as a quiet and reserved boy. “He was quiet, and he wasn’t performing very well at school, but he
was a good boy,” explained Oupa Modisha, an educator at the school. “He will be greatly missed.” Bela-Bela police spokesperson Glen Manamela said that an inquest had been opened, but suicide is suspected to have been the cause of Luleka’s death.

Rising concer na bout ille gal concern about illeg tr uc k de pot in Jinnah P ar k truc uck depot Par ark Justin Steyn Justin Steyn Residents of Jinnah Park have expressed concern over an apparently illegal truck stop which appeared in the area in September last year. One of the concerns raised by residents is that the trucks pose a danger to learners at the adjacent Jinnah Park Primary School. Amanda Jansen van Vuuren, the school’s headmaster, said that she is not pleased with the situation. “I’ve had all my days with these people. I don’t know what they are doing but it has been very uncomfortable for us to run our school with these people nearby,” she said. She noted that the area has no ablution facilities, and said that people presumed to be truck drivers
have been seen relieving themselves near the school. She asked for police intervention in the matter. The Ward Councillor for Jinnah Park, Kobus van der Merwe, said that the situation is being monitored and that arrangements are being made to eject the truckers. Bela-Bela’s municipal spokesperson Matome Sebelebele condemned the parking of trucks in a residential area and said an investigation would be conducted. “I was not aware of the situation but an investigation will be carried out,” he said. “It is not right to have a truck depot in a residential area due to safety risks and the possibility of damage to public roads,” he said.

Bela-Bela Municipality gets its house in order Justin Steyn Justin Steyn
Cracked walls and limited space may soon be a thing of the past at the BelaBela municipal offices. The municipality has been revamping and reorganizing their office during the past month in its bid to improve accessibility and services. According to municipal spokesperson Matome Sebelebele the decision to renovate was largely due to the building’s deteriorating state and its inaccessibility to the disabled. “At the moment we are trying to prettify our offices,” said Sebelebele. “Cracks have started to occur and the paint of the building is old and dilapidated. There is also very little or no space for the disabled to approach the offices.” Sebelebele said that a decision regarding possible expansion of their offices will be taken place in the next financial year. He added that services have not been disrupted or put on hold during the renovation process. The relocation of the local traffic offices to the license testing facilities in Van der Merwe road is expected to provide some relief for the municipal offices, as there is now more space available for municipal employees.

Misuse of electricity and stray cattle at municipal inspection JustinSteyn Steyn Justin Project advancement and the state of the Bela-Bela Township was on the agenda for the Bela-Bela Municipality on Thursday, 15 January 2014. Officials from the municipality, including Bela-Bela Mayor Lucas Nhlapo, Municipal Manager Morris Maluleke, and Technical Manager Jimmy Moloto, visited the area to assess the progress on their projects within the township as well as its general state. According to Bela-Bela municipal spokesperson, Matome Sebelebele, the officials have noticed a number of residents who do not have electrical meters in their homes and are using electricity without being billed. “We have noticed that many homes do not have meters for their electricity use and are thus not being billed. The municipality will approach these homes so that an arrangement can be made for them to be billed.” The municipality also noticed illegal connections, and said that police intervention may become necessary. A visit to two reservoirs being built in Extensions Eight was also made and the project’s progress is said to be on schedule. Sebelebele said that stray cattle is another issue that the township is faced with. “Currently we have an issue with local farmers who let their cattle wander freely. Many of them are stolen, or killed in road accidents, or

Lizzy Bapela Lizzy Bapela The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in the Waterberg Region congratulated Bela-Bela’s Celeste Motsepe on her election at the national level as one of the Central Command Team’s additional members, moving up from her position as regional treasurer. Motsepe was elected following the party’s national elective congress held in Mangaung in December 2014. During the congress, the members’ favourite Julius Malema emerged as the party’s president again, with Floyd Shivambu as his deputy. Godrich Gardee was elected secretary-general and Hlengiwe Hlope as his deputy, while Dali Mpofu was elected national chairperson and Magdalene Moonsamy as treasurer general. Motsepe started as an ordinary member with the party when it started as a movement in August 2013 and was elected as an organizer during an informal regional launch later that year. She was elected to the post of treasurer when the party officially launched its regional structures in November 2014, and was surprised when she was swiftly moved to the

Monageng made this statement during the party’s Regional Command Team Assembly which was held at their regional constituency office in Modimolle on Wednesday, 14 January. The meeting was meant to report back on last year’s activities and achievements and to plan ahead for the 2015 year. Monageng indicated that the aim of the campaign is to get feedback on the previous academic year from schools and to monitor progress, and to build and strengthen relations with education stakeholders such as the schools’ management teams, teachers, parents, the department and the community. He said that they will also be visiting the families of children not attending school, and come up with positive resolutions as it is their duty to ensure that all children receive what is rightfully theirs, including a quality education. Members are expected to conduct door-to-door campaigns and host gatherings in their areas to interact with the community, working toward the upcoming local government elections. Monageng said that if they prepare and keep in touch with the people, they will not have to struggle during election campaigns as most of the work will already be done. He further said that the members should be on the ground, making sure that citizens are served. Monageng commended members for

Cynicism doesn y doesn’’t pa pay The President of the United States, Barack Obama, gave his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday. During his speech, he made reference to a number of things that he would like to implement during his last year in office — America is having elections in 2016 and he cannot run for President again. Some of the things he would like to see, he said, is universal health care, free education and better equal rights. Immediately, some people reacted with cynicism, saying that the States could not afford universal health care, or two years’ free college for every citizen. Universal health care, they said, is a pipe dream and can never be fully achieved. They handily ignore the fact that firstworld nations such as the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Canada all have working healthcare systems where the patient need never pay a cent directly to the doctor or hospital. Health care, after all, is what they pay their taxes for. Citizens of the United States also pay taxes for medical care. However, the United States’ health care system is in such a shambles that, for the price of a knee operation in the States, you can fly to Spain, live in Spain for nearly a year, have the operation and fly back home again. Their healthcare system is bloated and inefficient, and there is no recourse for the unemployed and the poor. Even we in South Africa have a better system than that! Universal education is another thing that the cynics scoffed at. ‘It’s simply not possible to educate every person in the nation. Free universities are a pipe dream!” they cry. They handily ignore nations like Germany, which not only offers free tertiary education to each and every citizen of Germany, but to any person, no matter what their origin, provided that they can speak German. In Germany, interestingly enough, for a period of about ten years universities were not free, as they had always been. The standards fell so badly that the government was forced to step in. We’re still working on the education thing, but we’ll get there eventually. The point here is that cynicism and defeatist attitudes will bring you no gain, and may do you great harm. Why not be optimistic instead?

We are living in a world in flux. Every day, the world we see changes around us. We have access now to technology our parents couldn’t even imagine, and our society is so far from what it had once been that it might as well be an alien planet. A hundred, even fifty years ago, the very idea of a cellphone would have been unimaginable. A device in your pocket that can make telephone calls anywhere in the world? Preposterous! Where are the wires? And let’s not even mention what modern smartphones can do. The size of your hand, and it can access the entire collected knowledge of the human race. If there’s a stranger sensation in life than reading the oldest surviving science fiction novel, which was written in the year 200, on a cellphone, I can’t imagine it. Today, we have access to so much knowledge. There are courses available, entirely for free, which can teach you very nearly anything. Places such as EdX and Khan Academy are dedicated to the free spread of knowledge and competency. At EdX you can take a course on any subject you like, from Genetics to Ancient Chinese Literature, while at Khan Academy you can learn skills at your own pace, entirely free. There is so much knowledge available to us that we just need to reach out and grab. And that is why the world is changing. The generation after us is going to grow up surrounded by the constant flow of knowledge, but the problem with that much knowledge is that it is confusing and people, when confused, tend to bunker down. People who are confused, or scared, or angry, tend to seek out those who feel the same way about the same things as they do, and the result is a sort of echochamber effect, where all you know is what you want to know. It is vitally important that we challenge ourselves. That we leave the comfort of those who think like us and try to find out why those who differ think differently. We need to go out into the world — whether the real world or the virtual one — and try to see the other guy’s point of view. We have to make an effort to see another point of view, look at the question from every angle, or we run the risk of becoming monkeys in a cave, screaming our opinions into the black and taking the echoes for agreement.

Teachers from the school accompanied 27 learners to the camp, which focussed on leadership identification and motivation. A
team from the Koinonia Christian Centre from England and KICK members also attended the camp to interact with the learners. One of the teachers, Mirriam Shovote, praised the camp’s productivity and said that it would benefit the learners in the future, as prefects would be selected from among the attendees. Two facilitators from
the camp school, Daniel Ntsabele and Louis Koekemoer, worked together with the learners in activities such as rock climbing, nature hiking, and obstacle courses, among other things. Laerskool Eenheid’s principal, Gerda Nel, told the pupil that to be a prefect is a privilege and added that along with leadership comes a lot of responsibility.
The school wants to equip and empower the learners to become good, productive citizens. They called to potential donors to contribute in any way they can, noting that the school has many projects on the table. Donors were urged to contact the school on 014 717 3006 to find out how they can make a difference.

I have travelled around the country and the continent and will continue to do so even abroad, sharing my skills and achievements with
