It has been 45 days and counting without potable water in the entire Phalaborwa Municipality. Several residents in Nollie Bosman Street, have had to endure an entire month without any water in their faucets, and still the municipality seems unphased.
Editor’s Comment: It should be viewed as gross negligence of public duties for a spokesperson of a municipality to simply ignore a journalist. Jonas Mahesu, the spokesperson for the BPM has made it very clear that he views the media and his community with absolute disregard. His job is to communicate with the residents of the municipality he works for, on municipal issues, through the media. In 2017 Mahesu accused me of being sent to Phalaborwa “to cause problems” and ever since, we have had issues in receiving feedback on important community issues.
■ Billy Sibuyi Multiple sightings of different animals were reported in Phalaborwa over the past week, and on Wednesday morning, the 24th of August, elephants were spotted on the R40 road, but were assisted back into the reserve before any incidents were reported.
Lions were reported in the Brand Street area near the Phalaborwa airport a few weeks ago, but there has been no confirmation of new sightings since. A Hyena was also recently spotted near Bollanoto Tourism Center in Phalaborwa and conservationists have urged people walking at night to be cautious. Whilst the Phalaborwa Natural Heritage Foundation (PNHF) were busy with a hippo operation at the same spot, they had people walking right past the animals, oblivious to what was happening. “Give it space, do not blind it with super bright torches as these animals live here too,” said a PNHF conservationist. “We are aware of the spotted hyena coming into town from time to time, they are monitored and have not caused any issues yet.”
One resident, Noelene du Plessis, said that she has not had water in her household for over 40 days, besides two Saturday’s where she at least had a small bit of water coming out of the tap. She said that water came back at 14:00 and again stopped at 16:00, which was not even enough to wash a load of“Iwashing.askedon Whatsapp groups but I am not getting any answers.

Baboons are mostly making it to people’s homes as it is part of their foraging path. They will search for food in gardens and sometimes make it into homes. In situations where males have few opportunities, they resort to violence to achieve what’s necessary to survive. For more than a month, the PNHF helped monitor the baboon situation. “We had asked people to pick their fruit trees and remove the ones that they do not use. We also asked for people to assist us with baboon sightings and place their bins in a proper manner, but we have had very little cooperation from residents,” stated the PNHF.
Instead of engaging the community, the Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality (BPM) simply pushes the blame onto the Mopani District Municipality (MDM) and blatantly refuse to engage Bulletin.
Still no water in theDon’tPhalaborwashootanimals
Thief remains unperturbed Follow up
Lulekani has been without water for several weeks and Mbalati Xikwemba said that “We are hungry while our cupboards have food, because we can’t cook without water”. The district municipality spokesperson, Odas Ngobeni, told Bulletin last week that the problem was not with them but with the waterboard, Leppelle Northern Water (LNW). The waterboard strategy and planning manager, Norman Nukeri, told Bulletin that the scheme has had to put temporary water shedding plans in place to try recover reservoir levels and have had to stop transfer pumps on the outstations from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 20:00 toNukeri03:30.said that Lulekani was receiving bulk water from Lepelle where they cover the area. “The main challenge in the area is the illegal connection along the bulk line to Lulekani reservoir which then affects the reservoir levels recovery,” he said. “Those which are getting water from illegal connections get water 24/7 while this has a negative impact on the ones getting water from the reservoirs because water depends on the pressure to fill the reservoirs and this pressure is lost where illegal connections have been done. Every pipeline’s pressure is calculated during the design phase and once the pressure is tampered with, it affects the entire system supplied by such pipeline,” explained Nukeri. He also said that there was a vandalized Lulekani booster, meant to boost the pressure to the reservoir, and that it was part of the current financial year’s budget to be repaired. Nukeri admitted that the challenge where there was no water was Matikoxikaya and the surrounding villages which Mopani District had outlined plans to address the areas without water.
■ Billy Sibuyi Godfrey Rabali (31), after appearing in court for 10 cases of theft in Phalaborwa, Hoedspruit, and Tzaneen, allegedly continued his theft spree. Rabali, who appeared in the Lenyeye Magistrate Court last week Monday, on the 15th of August, was caught on camera searching through a bag of one of the victims in Phalaborwa.Rabaliallegedly portrayed himself as a parent at Frans Du Toit High school, and stole laptops. Not only did he terrorize the High School, but went to several schools in Phalaborwa and Hoedspruit until his eventual arrest on the 16th of August, at an unknown gambling establishment. His first theft was at Tzaneen Primary School after school hours in July where he stole two laptops. In Hoedspruit, he reportedly stole from five shops, three of these in the Kamogelo Tourism Centre.Asource told Bulletin that she reported the thief to the police after seeing a social media post from a victim in Phalaborwa who was allegedly also scammed by the same person. From screenshots of CCTV footage, she saw that the person who stole from her was wearing the same clothes when he stole from another shop in Phalaborwa. She said the thief was arrested in Hoedspruit on Friday, 22nd of July. On Monday, 25th of July, he appeared in the Hoedspruit Magistrate’s Court and was released on bail. “I told the police that the suspect is being sought in other cases in Phalaborwa and Tzaneen, but somehow, he managed to get bail. I think it might be due to a lack of communication. Other victims from Hoedspruit were supposed to identify the man in a police line-up, but that never happened,” she told Bulletin. “At the police station, he was wearing the same cap as the one on the CCTV footage. He also said he was in Phalaborwa on the morning he was arrested. When I saw the posts about people being robbed, I was able to connect the incidents.”

The Greater Tzaneen Municipality has denied that any money from the tax payers’ coffers would be spent on this welcoming event. “The municipality cannot spend money from our own purse if it is not in the official approved budget,” said spokesperson Neville Ndlala. “Miss SA has a host of private companies behind the brand who will be contributing to the various activities and the event itself. The Miss SA title is a brand on its own and they have their own teams who coordinate public appearances and events that involve their pageant and their queen.”Onthe 13th of August 2022, Ndavi Nokeri was crowned Miss SA 2022. The 23-year-old is originally from Gabaza Village, outside Tzaneen. She is the second contestant from Limpopo to win the crown in the in the last three years after Shudufadzo Musida was crowned back in 2020. She is also the third woman from the province, the first being Bokang Montjane in 2010. Limpopo Premier, Stan Mathabatha, tasked Limpopo MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, Thandi Moraka, to organize and facilitate Social Cohesion Programmes in the Province. Therefore, the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture will execute the responsibility of the Miss SA 2022 homecoming event from the 25th to the 27th of August this year. ■ Roelof de Jonge A house fire was reported in Aqua Lane on Sunday evening, the 21st of August. A vehicle parked in a garage had inexplicably caught fire and threatened to burn down the home adjacent to it when neighbours sounded the alarm. True to form the Tzaneen Neighbourhood Watch jumped into action and rushed to aid the occupants. They were first on the scene while frantic onlookers attempted to contact the Tzaneen Fire Department. According to one of the neighbours, they first tried to reach the Fire Department and then tried to reach Tzaneen SAPS but had no luck and then resorted to calling one of the local security companies. The security personnel on scene also tried without any success to get hold of the police or the fire department. One of the security guards then drove to the fire department to alert them about the fire which threatened to spread from the garage to the house. By the time the Fire Department arrived on scene, the fire had already been doused and all they had to tend to was the smoldering aftermath in the garage. The first police vehicle pitched up on the scene about ten minutes after the fire brigade.
Bulletinconfirmed.interviewed DA PR Councillor Chrisma Bredenkamp a month ago regarding her statement that the water in Letsitele was unfit for human consumption. This after she said that a resident from that town had contacted her about the dirty water from his filtration system at his home. Since then, she has campaigned for the GTM to provide her with a Blue Drop certificate. Her statement led some parents to send water to school with their children and instructing them not to drink the tap water. Through our investigations we determined that this was not the case, and that the water in Letsitele was in fact drinkable and according to the Department of Water Affairs (DWS) standards.
Moss said that his party would direct questions to council regarding the amount and the approval of this expense. According to him the party would want to see that a more realistic and affordable welcoming be arranged for Miss Nokeri, especially since being native to Tzaneen, she would be very aware of the lack of service delivery and the gradual decay of its infrastructure.
Occupants escape
“An unnecessary waste of money would unfortunately make this welcome visit from the reigning Miss SA, a bittersweet one,” Moss added.

According to one of the witnesses, after the fire department doused the remains of the fire, they left the scene. It was about five minutes after they left, that flames started to emerge again. This time the people in attendance did not bother calling the fire fighters back, but rather doused the fire themselves. At the time of going to print the Tzaneen Fire Department had not responded to the accusations levelled against them by the public and neither had the police returned any comment on the matter. In a strange twist of fate, the occupants of the house where the fire had started, lost all of their belongings in a house fire exactly three years ago, almost to the date, in a house they were renting in Deerpark. On the 17th of August 2019, Bulletin was on scene with William Roux and his family, a day after the house they were living in, had caught fire, and was destroyed leaving the family with nothing but the clothes on their backs. At the time of going to print it was not clear how the fire in Aqua Lane started and none of the occupants of the home were available for comment. It is also unclear whether an investigation was launched by the police or the Fire Department.
The spokesperson for the GLM, Lovers Maenetje said that they had cleaned up the mess and urged local medical practitioners to steer clear of this practice. We still don’t know where the drips came from.

The Limpopo Health Department MEC Dr Phophi Ramathuba was filmed this week at a Bela Bela Provincial Hospital where she publicly shamed a Zimbabwean patient shortly before a scheduled medical procedure. In the video, the MEC can be heard asking if the patient can speak Tswana, to which she responds that she speaks Shona. “You speak Shona. And how do you find yourself in Bela Bela when you are supposed to be with Mnangagwa [referring to Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa]? You know, he doesn’t give me money to operate on you guys and I am operating on you with my limited budget.” Her large entourage laughed loudly at her comments. Ramathuba went on to state that her people of Limpopo cannot receive health services because of the foreigners who receive free medical services from her. “Everywhere we are operating on foreign nationals and you not even registered. You are not counted anywhere and you are even illegal. You are abusing me. It is not fair. I can’t go to Zimbabwe and get health services.”

Unconfirmed reports this week suggested that a man everyone in Tzaneen used to see loitering in the area around Lifestyle Centre has disappeared. A source rumoured that the man had played the lotto and won a few thousand Rands. He then showed the winning lotto ticket to a group of his fellow vagrants who then allegedly murdered him. We have not been able to confirm this story with the police at the time of going to print.
The Bassmasters will host an international event in September and nobody knows who the Jetty 3 facilities will be managed by. The Bassmasters have asked if they could start cleaning up the facility and fix some of the potholes in what is left of the roads inside the grounds, but have received no answer at the time of going to print. Will the municipality clean the grounds? Will the new lessee clean up the grounds? The current picture the international visitors to the event will see, might not be the picture we want outsiders to take back home with them. This week a group of volunteers accompanied their ward councillor and repainted the fourway stop at the intersection between Bohemia Street, Francis Street and Park Street in Medipark. A team of ladies led by Chrizelle Dreyer, Helena Taljaard and Ilze Czubora, with the support of GTM Traffic Head, André Liversage, Du Paint and Tools Tzaneen, Victrix Signs and Dewald Swart spent their Saturday morning repairing the stop signs and painting the road markings. Councillor Dreyer made it very clear that the action was not a political one, but a municipal endeavour given that she is still a municipal employee regardless of her political affiliation and the residents deserve proper service delivery. A week ago a Duiwelskloof resident arrived at the Modjadjiskloof dumpsite and found a heap of hospital drips still in their original packaging, dumped among the household refuse. The resident photographed the bags and sent it through to Bulletin. We contacted Niel Shikwambana of the Limpopo Health Department who said we should ask the Greater Letaba Municipality’s health department if they knew who the drips belonged to.
■ Joe Dreyer Tzaneen’s taxpaying public will not fit the bill for a lavish reception for newly crowned Miss SA, Ndavi Nokeri, when she arrives here today. This despite the confusion around the event in the camp of the Freedom Front Plus who voiced their concern in a press statement on Tuesday, the 23rd of August. According to the party, councillors were informed by the Greater Tzaneen Municipality that it would fit the bill for a gala dinner at Tzaneen Country Lodge on the 27th of August (tomorrow). Freedom Front Plus PR Councillor, Andre Moss said that they were led to understand that the municipality would pay the bill for 200 guests, pay for the hiring of stage and sound equipment, pay for the hiring of the hall, pay for the guest artists who will perform on the day, pay for the luxury VIP tents, and pay for the accommodation of Miss SA and her 20-person entourage for two days. According to the Freedom Front Plus, the costs involved for this lavish event is excessive, especially given that it will be fronted by a municipality currently buckling under failing service delivery and financial constraints.
“It is not certain at this stage how much this lavish affair will set the local taxpayers back, and we agree that having a local girl from our community win this prestigious crown, is a truly proud moment,” said VF Plus PR Councillor, Andre Moss. “There must be a certain level of discernment, and we feel that it would have been reasonable to discuss this expense in council before making decisions.”
John and Terresa Edmond pose for a photo at the event
■ Billy Sibuyi More than R30 000 was raised in Hoedspruit to aid pangolins confiscated from illegal wildlife traders in the Lowveld. Scales Pangolin Rescue Fund, in partnership with John Edmond, Notes for Scales, and The Thirsty Giraffe Pub and Grill, hosted a very well attended event on Saturday, the 20th of August.The“Stand for the Pangolin” fundraiser included a campfire concert with the legendary John Edmond who entertained patrons under the stars before they enjoyed a ‘potjie’ buffet and aromatic glühwein (glow wine). John released his new single, “Stand for the Pangolin” on the night of the event and the song has since been available for download on various platforms with a percentage of the proceeds being donated to the Scales Pangolin Rescue Fund.Amy Aucamp-Clark, founder and CEO of Scales Conservation Fund, told Bulletin that all the pangolins are housed and treated offsite at undisclosed secured locations for their safety and that of her staff. She said that Pangolins were the world’s most illegally trafficked animal, poached for both traditional African, as well as rapidly developing Asian markets for use in traditional Eastern medicine and as a delicacy. Just like rhino horn, pangolin scales are made of keratin and are no different to human fingernails and toenails. “South Africa is home to the little-known Temminck’s ground pangolin. These shy and endearing creatures are extremely vulnerable to humans. Once a pangolin is spotted, it can simply be picked up and carried away into the sinister world of wildlife trafficking,” explained Aucamp-Clark. She said that to cope with the rising number of pangolins being seized in the Lowveld, Umoya Khulula Wildlife Centre stepped up to provide a much-needed rehabilitation service and centre for the rescued pangolins. “They are at the cutting edge of these conservation efforts and are leading the way in the rescue and rehabilitation of these elusive and critically endangered animals. They have been caring for pangolins seized from the illegal wildlife trade since 2019. The pangolins arrive severely compromised, stressed, badly malnourished, dehydrated, and often very sick with pneumonia or parasitic infections,” explained Aucamp-Clark.UmoyaKhulula Wildlife Centre works very closely with Hoedspruit’s, Dr Debbie English, of Provet Wildlife Services as rescued pangolins require around the clock medical care and support. Umoya Khulula Wildlife Centre is a private, non-profit wildlife rehabilitation centre and relies heavily on donations. They focus on the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of pangolins back into the wild as soon as possible. Once pangolins are released in a carefully selected protected area with sufficient food and water, they wear a GPS and VHF trackers, so that their progress and well-being can be monitored remotely, without intruding on their hard-earned freedom.“Wedesperately need to create more awareness of the dire predicament that pangolins find themselves in and raise funds for the extremely intensive and costly process of successfully rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing healthy pangolins back into the wild, where they belong. The cost of saving one pangolin can quickly amount to R70,000.00,” stated Linda Poultney of Notes for Scales. “We are grateful for all of the support that our event received. So many people and businesses assisted with donations and sponsorships. Our event was sold out and everyone had a proper ‘hooley’ and were supportive and eager to help in any way they could to raise awareness and financial support for the pangolins,” she said. With the application of a Raffle and prizes being won, a total of R34 943 was raised through the event. She also said that the Scales Conservation Fund was constantly busy with various fundraising initiatives. Visit their Facebook page or website - www.scales.org.za - for more information on how you may help to make a difference. You may also contact the founder, Amy Aucamp-Clark on +27 78 993 5678 or scales.founder@gmail.com to find out how you can help to save the pangolin from extinction.

The birth of Mirandi’s Aesthetic Ladies Spa really came about after I spent a time working as a young Cum Laude Somatologist in all types of beauty industry environments which ranged from home-based salons to luxury cruise ships spas all over the world. I felt that there was a gap in the market for woman-only community that slotted in right between the two extremes of the home-based and the cruise ship. Also, I was never in a position as an employee, to fully operate and implement my personal vision of what a high standard Beauty Spa should be and feel like. In a nutshell, Mirandi’s is a place where women support one another and cultivate self esteem without breaking the bank and gaining value for their money. If I could o er only a simple paragraph as advice to any other young women wanting to enter the business environment, I would say that the key to success is to maintain high standards and ensure return business, and most all to pray. There is a lot of prayer involved! Always stay updated with refresher courses and training in the latest developments within your industry and continue adding to your menu. Most importantly, I live by the credo “be kind to yourself”. Aesthetics

Dit was uiteindlik Midstream se skrumskakel, Rhynhardt Henning, wat na ‘n duikslag omgekeerde besit bewerkstellig het en so langs die kantlyn af gehol het en die bal vir die regtervleuel, Thomas, aangegee het.

Die Plasies se seëvierende 15-tal het Saterdag die 20ste Augustus in Centurion teen die span van Midstream College die stryd om die gesogte Noordvaal-beker gevoer. Maar, dit was uiteindelik die Blou Bul-kontrei se span wat in die doodsnikke ‘n oorwinning van 22-12 gevier het. Vir die besoekende Merensky wat as die beste Limpopo-span in Afdeling 2 van die Noordvaalreeks beskou word, het ‘n verbete stryd om die Noordvaal-koppie gewag. Afgesien daarvan om weg te speel, het Midstream se hardnekkige spel verder vir ‘n taai stryd tussen die twee spanneMidstreamgesorg.het die sowat eerste 15 minute van hierdie eindstryd beheer, maar Merensky het hul doellyn vir al wat hul werd was verdedig. Die wind wat oor die naweek gewaai het en vir die week se koue gesorg het, het ook ingemeng met die spel wat skopwerk vir beide spanne bemoeilik het. Alhoewel Midstream meer balbesit en gebiedsvoordeel in die eerste helfte geniet het, kon hulle net nie daarin slaag om Merensky se doellyn te bereik nie. Die Midstream losskakel, Jaedon de Leeuw, het vir hul enigste punte in die openingshelfte gesorg toe hy met ‘n strafskop geslaag het. En om sake vir Midstream in die eerste helfte te vererger, het hul stream se verdediging behoorvlugvoetige losskakel, Phillip Ludick, het deur die Midstream verdedigingslinie geglip om vir Merensky se tweede drie te sorg. Die drie was deur die senter, Neil van Vuuren, verdoel. Van daar het die momentum terug in Midstream se guns geswaai. Hilton Thomas op regtervleuel het vir sy span se eerste drie van die wedstryd gesorg wat deur hul losskakel, Jaedon de Leeuw verdoel is. Dit het Midstream se agterstand na slegs twee punte laat krimp, 10-12, wat hulle ‘n nuwe lewenslus vir die wedstryd gegee het. Na ‘n aantal aanslae deur Merensky, het Midstream se binnesenter, Rowan Lindeque, daarin geslaag om die bal in sy eie kwartgebied te onderskep en uit gegee wat die linkervleuel, Nathaniel Manonga, op sy weg doellyn toe gestuur het.

Die hokkiebane van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster was Dinsdag die 23ste Augustus ‘n miernes van bedrywighede. Instede wat mens hoërskool spelers teen mekaar sou sien speel, was dit egter die hokkiespanne van Laerskool Tzaneen, Laerskool Duiwelskloof, en Unicorn Preparatory School wie mekaar die stryd aangedurf het. Die Laerskool Tzaneen-wedstryde teen die Klofies was skoleliga kragmetings en die meisies en seuns se ope A-spanne teen Unicorn was ‘n rondte van die Limpopo Premier Liga (LPL). In die kragmeting tussen Laerskool Tzaneen se meisies ope A-span en hul bure van Unicorn, het die Tzaneen meisies die botoon gevoer om uiteindelik met 3-0 die wedstryd te beklink. Laerskool Tzaneen se seuns ope A-span het wel hul wedstryd gewen, maar dit het nie sonder teenstand gepaard gegaan nie. Unicorn het gevaarlik voorgekom wanneer hul balbesit gehad het en was ietwat ongelukkig met ‘n paar verbroude kanse wat hul verhoed het om die doelhok te vind. Laerskool Tzaneen het uiteindelik met 3-1 geseëvier.

GUTSY GORDON CONQUERS TREK
The Magoeba Trek again proved to be scenic yet a tough event for riders. Alan Gordon from Insect Science pedals on in the three-day event. Leonora Changuion competed in the women’s solo category and nished in eighth place overall. Alan Gordon and Insect Science team mates took on the mighty Magoeba Trek 2022.
Locally sponsored riders in the Insect Science, Kings of Neon team, raced superbly during the grueling three-day Magoeba Trek event this past weekend. The race was held from the 19th until the 21st of August. Alan Gordon showed his class in the men’s solo category, earning top spot in the general classification followed by Jan Montshioa and Wian van den Bergh in second and third spots respectively. The Kings of Neon men’s teams also had a solid weekend, taking both the first and third places in the men’s 70km race division. Arno du Toit and Keagan Bontekoning led the pack with the team of Pieter du Toit and Rudi Koen from Imbuko Type Dev in second and CP van Wyk and Herman Fourie from Insect Science followed in“Thisthird.weekend was another spectacular Magoeba Trek, and the podium was proudly painted yellow!” said an ecstatic Alan Gordon afterwards. Mountain bike races can be very unforgiving towards the riders and their equipment as Insect Science stalwart Gordon experienced on the first day. In the lead on the first day’s 70km route for solo men riders, Gordon’s mountain bike incurred severe damage about 25km from the finish. He managed to get going again but only with a single gear at his disposal, making it very difficult to peddle along and in the process lost ample “Thank you for everyone’s support and every person who offered their bikes to me. After losing a lot of time with the mechanical calamity on the first day, I had to claw back about 18 minutes on the second day’s ride and some more time on the final day to be able to take first place overall in the solo category”, said Gordon after his amazing fight
