A female Premier?
Limpopo will soon have a woman as its Premier. This after the decision to deploy the recently elected Provincial deputy chairperson, Florence Radzilana, on Monday during the sitting of the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC). It was also resolved to nominate current chairperson Stanley Mathabatha as the national chairperson in the upcoming national conference in December.
The decision by the PEC to deploy the officials elected during the provincial conference came in the wake of the recent reshuffling of cabinet where Dickson Masemola was moved to Transport while Polly Boshielo was deployed from Education to Social Development replacing Nkakareng Rakgoale. The deployment of Radzilana will result in another cabinet reshuffle which insiders project to be preparations for the appointment of a female premier.
The paramedics said that 15 people had suffered serious injuries when the taxi, which was allegedly overloaded, collided head on with a bakkie. The allegations were neither confirmed nor denied by the Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety spokesperson, Tidimalo AccordingChuene.toChuene, the minibus taxi which was overtaking when it collided head on with a Ford bakkie. She said the accident happened at around lunchtime on the R71 road near Thavelani lodge, in the Mopani District. “Reckless and negligent driving are cited as possible causes of the accident,” explained Chuene.

“The sedan knocked the truck and went off the road before the cash truck stopped. In the process a shot rang out from the security vehicle and hit the driver of the sedan.”
It will be the first time a woman was elected as the premier since in 1994, from the Bapedi ethnic group, and this resulted in disharmony among several factions within the ruling ANC party. The election of Mathabatha will see the position of the premier left vacant as Mathabatha would move to Luthuli House full time to perform the duties of the national chairperson.

N1 crash claims nine
This comes after a Toyota Fortuner lost control and crashed into an oncoming truck, killing all nine occupants of the Fortuner, including two children. Authorities believe that fatigue was suspected as possible cause of the accident.
Bemarking
The first premier of Limpopo was Ngoako Ramathlodi who was replaced by a medical doctor, Sello Moloto. Moloto was succeeded by Castle Mathale, who was later succeeded by Stanley Mathabatha who was then the ambassador to the Ukraine. All the premiers served for two terms.
At the time of going to print, there had not been any new developments in the story and the police had not made any arrests.
The two occupants of the truck sustained injuries and were transported to nearby health facilities for medical attention. The Limpopo MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Polly Boshielo, sent her condolences to the bereaved families.
In June, about 800 boys from Ba-Phalaborwa were rounded up, taken into the mountains and ritually circumcised. The boys were marking the transition from boyhood to manhood in the traditional way of going to the mountains and returning two months later as men.
While the vehicles were chasing through the streets, bundles of money were thrown in the air for members of the public to pick up.
The Limpopo Health MEC Dr Phophi Ramathuba led a team of health practitioners to Phalaborwa to perform the second leg of voluntary medical male circumcision procedures on Thursday, the 1st of September. The team included Urologists Dr Puleng Masegela and Dr Sydney Moroatshehla, and a Urology Medical officer, Dr PM Maake.

Parents have now called to their community leader, Chief Maseke, who according to them was the one who called the traditional initiation school from Tzaneen, to refund them their R2 600 each, which they had to pay. R1600 was for the traditional doctor who botched the circumcision and the R1000 was for a caretaker, who according to the parents would make sure their boys were well fed and taken care of.
One suspect was injured in a cash in transit robbery at Khujwana near the Global Garage on Wednesday afternoon just after 17:00. Reportedly the robbery occurred shortly after a security company cash truck had collected a drop from one of the businesses in the area and was traveling towards Lenyenye.

The cash truck was first bombed with dynamite after it was forced off the road by the suspects in a Mercedes Benz sedan. The cash was stolen after the guards fled from the scene under a hail of gunfire. The vehicle in which the suspects were traveling, was also bombed before the gang fled in two bakkies into the direction of Lenyenye.
Legend hits truck
He said that the driver of the Toyota, prior to the collision with the truck, had allegedly hit three other vehicles at one of the fuel stations in Phalaborwa, before fleeing the scene. “We are still busy with the statement, but we have heard that the vehicle was involved in a hit and run, after it allegedly bumped three vehicles at Engen Garage,” Mongwe told Bulletin.

The homeowner reported that the man entered his yard while he and his family were away, entered the garden shed and took from it a spade, a pick, and an axe. The suspect used the tools to break open the lock of a glass sliding door at the side of the home which triggered the alarm system.
Earlier that same week a robbery from a business in Aqua Avenue was reported with similar modus operandi by the suspects. This time however, there were two suspects and they made off with laptops. It was reported that the men, after stealing the laptops, jumped the fence into a neighbouring property and casually walked away even greeting some of the workers arriving for work that morning as they passed.

Die drie-dae lange fees het hope vermaak vir oud- en jonk ingesluit met stalletjies wat allerlei lekkergoed en ‘n wye verskydenheid ware te koop aangebied het. Vir die kleingoed is daar springkastele en ‘n pretpark opgerig kompleet met ‘n senutergende spookhuis. ‘n Biertent met ‘n grootskerm vir die sport, is vir die ouer garde langs die rugbyveld opgerig en deur die loop van die fees het plaaslike kunstenaars soos die André Visagie Band en Danny Shade vir vermaaklikheid gesorg. Feesgangers by hierdie jaar se fees het aan Bulletin gesê dat die verskeidenheid stalletjies en aktiwiteite vir hulle ‘n groot trekpleister elke jaar is en dat hul verseker volgende jaar se Vossiefees sal besoek. “Vir my was die hoogtepunt verseker Spoegwolf! Ek is al jare-lank ‘n aanhanger en om Danie en sy kaalvoete in lewende lywe te beleef was iets wat ek nooit sal vergeet nie,” het een feesganger gesê. “Die verskydenheid stalletjies is vir my persoonlik die grootste aantrekking, volgens my man het ek ‘n bietjie van ‘n inkopie-fetisj,” het ‘n ander genoem. Deuné Schutte het die gemeenskap, die uitstallers en die borge vir hul ondersteuning en betrokkenheid bedank en het aan almal die uitnodiging gerig om volgende se fees wéér by te woon.

The players who competed for the top rankings in this club’s annual singles and doubles championships battled it out in often grueling bouts which culminated in some superb finals this past weekend.OnSaturday the 3rd of September the final matches for the top players were determined.

Tzaneen Jukado Judo Club under the guidance of sensei Ivan Steyn, has been around for decades and has taught many a student the skills of this Eastern self-defense sport. Sensei Steyn called on locals and specifically new residents in town to visit his club and consider taking up Judo as a sport. According to him, Judo is one of the best sports to acquire self-defense skills whilst enjoying some socializing.
Despite those regulations now lifted, many of the students did not return and the number of attendees has dwindled. Sensei Steyn would like to call upon those students who have not returned yet, to get into their judo gear and come join the classes again.

Daar word beplan om die volgende wedstryd vir aanstaande jaar op die Hoërskool Merensky se velde te speel.
