The draft regulations were first published in July this year (2022). In a gazette on Wednesday the 14th of September, the department said the strategy will now be open for comment until the 26th of September 2022.
“We have been instructed to obtain a warning statement from the person who the allegations have been made against.”
would like to put it on record that it deplores any act of harassment and abuse against women and children. This appalling act must be condemned in the strongest of terms. SANParks is extremely concerned about how such an incident could have taken place on their property. It a sensitive matter and we are still investigating the exact circumstances under which the alleged sexual assault took place,” said the Managing Executive of the KNP, GarethTheColeman.HumanCapital

The South African National Parks (SANParks) has since confirmed, “with deep regret and sadness, that the organization was made aware of an alleged incident of sexual assault at the Skukuza living quarters involving a minor recently.”
SANParks said the SAPS in Skukuza confirmed having registered a complaint and having transferred the docket to Acornhoek for further handling. According to the SAPS docket, the incident was reported on 27th of August this year by the mother of the alleged victim.
“We are also sensitively looking at the issues raised by the Women’s Forum in a memorandum handed to management on the 8th of September in their march against Gender Based Violence. The memorandum makes a series of recommendations for immediate action; which have been shared with the SANParks Board and the Minister,” concluded Coleman.
According to the department, game meat can be the meat of animals and birds that are traditionally hunted for sport or food instead of being raised on a farm under controlled circumstances.
“We cannot rule out the possibility that he was running, as he only had a set of keys with him and was wearing sport attire. He did not have any visible injuries, beside the nosebleed he probably suffered when he fell,” said Sgt Elvis Mongwe of the Phalaborwa police.
“Upon arrival the police officers were pointed to a room where the deceased was and found the man with visible injuries on his neck which was caused by the rope.”
According to the mother of the deceased, her son came home during the day at around 11:00 and he was under the influence of alcohol. “The mother became suspicious when she saw that he had become strangely quiet and that’s when she sent his cousin to check on him,” continued Mabunda.
Members of the SAPS Search and Rescue Unit, on Saturday evening retrieved the body of a 26 year-old man from the Thiergaten farm dam, amid a tit-for-tat with a very aggressive hippo. The area falls under Ritavi Policing area near Tzaneen. The victim and his 34-year-old colleague were reportedly working at the dam on Tuesday 06 September, removing illegal fishing nets left behind by poachers. They were busy removing nets using a canoe without life jackets and in the process one of the nets caught a crocodile and the canoe capsized, both men fell into the dam and one managed to swim out, the other drowned.
The search operation was suspended after dark as the dam is infested with crocodiles and hippos. The rescue team had to acquire suitable equipment to repel the hippos before retrieving the body.

“A doctor examined the female minor and handed the findings over to the police for further investigation. SANParks has not had sight of the medical report and requests the public to respect the rights of the alleged victim and her family as well as the space to deal with the matter” stated SANParks spokesperson, Isaac“ThePhaahla.organization
Again, earlier last month, the Minister of Finance, Eric Godongwana, also was allegedly accused of sexual assault by a massage therapist at one of the luxury hotels in the KNP. The Police spokesperson, Brig Selvy Mohlala, said that the docket involving an allegation of sexual assault was returned to the police by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), with instructions a warning statement should be obtained.
Environment minister Barbara Creecy said the strategy and implementation plan are aimed at creating a formalised and transformed game meat industry in South Africa that contributes to food security and sustainable socio-economic growth.
Management Division in the Park has arranged counselling for both the mother and the alleged girl victim which is ongoing.
Incidents of rape and sexual abuse see to be on the rise in the Kruger National Park (KNP). Earlier this year, the KNP dismissed their CEO, Fundisile Mketeni, after he was accused of sexually assaulting an employee, a case he later won in court.
It is alleged that a letter believed to have been written by the deceased was found at the scene. The emergency services were contacted and the deceased was certified dead and his body was taken to Maphuta Malatjie government mortuary where an autopsy would be conducted.

Another sexual assault report in KNP
This was said during a march last week Thursday, the 8th of September, when the Democratic Alliance’s Women’s Network marched against GBV to handover a memorandum of grievances to the Skukuza Police Station.
The body of an elderly Caucasian man was found between Hendrick van Eck Street and Copper Road across Spar and Total Masorini on Monday, the 12th of September. Phalaborwa police believe that man estimated to have been in his 60’s or 70’s and was out jogging at the time of his death.
The most commonly produced and consumed venison in South Africa includes impala, kudu, wildebeest and springbok. The department said that although ostrich is considered game meat, it is predominantly produced through conventional livestock farming methods.

“We are not happy with the turnaround time of this police station in regards to gender based violence cases, they blame it on resources and sometimes have to move cases to other police stations,” said one of the residents in Skukuza.
The police in Lulekani are investigating a case of inquest after a person was found dead on Monday. The police said that a 27-year old man was found hanging from the roof trusses inside his room at Matiko-Xikaya Settlement.
According to Sgt Reoh Mabunda, it is alleged that on the 12th of September at about 14:00, the police received a message of a possible death.
The cause of death was also not yet known and at the time of going to print, the man was not yet identified.
Jogger found dead
A Zimbabwean man was set free by Tzaneen police on Wednesday afternoon after he was found hiding under a bed in a resident’s house in Aqua Park. The man was spotted earlier, walking through the neighbourhood carrying copper pipes. After being startled by neighbours, he dropped the pipes and jumped a fence into one of the residential properties in Awie Wessels Street. The domestic worker chased him through the yard with a garden rake and he jumped into a neighbour’s yard where that domestic worker also chased him away. He jumped into a third yard and ran into the house through an open door unbeknown to the domestic worker who was busy inside the home. The owner of the home was away at the time, but his neighbours, and his domestic worker informed him telephonically. He then contacted the Neighbourhood Watch who arrived with security companies and found the man inside the house in one of the children’s rooms where he had locked himself in. The Neighbourhood Watch removed him from the home and the police interrogated him. He was set free allegedly because he had not gained entry forcibly, nor had he stolen anything from the home, and he had reportedly told the police he was 17-years old. The police could not be reached for comment at the time of going to print.
The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment has extended the deadline for comments on its draft Game Meat Strategy for South Africa, which aims to formalise the industry and expand what can be sold on store shelves.
And now, the latest incident is that of an 8-year-old girl, who was allegedly raped in the staff houses a few weeks ago, and the perpetrator is yet to be arrested. The residents of Skukuza and workers living with their families in the park are accusing the local police of dragging their feet when it comes to attending to issues of gender-based violence.
“We have now opened a case of inquest and investigations are underway.”
“Nightcrawler’s days are numbered” - SAPS Uproar over removal of signboards
The trust in the police has declined because of the various problems SAPS stations face across the country, like being undermanned and not having vehicles available to respond to cases timeously. The SAPS face all kinds of shortcomings daily and in a country with rampant crime statistics, this has dented the public’s trust and willingness to report cases.
Kröh said that because of this reluctance to report any criminality, the police are left with the impression that crimes in certain areas are not as bad as what it seems. “We encourage the community to report crimes at their nearest police station. If there is crime in an area and only 20% of residents report a case, then obviously the SAPS is going to think that crime is not that bad and requires less patrolling.”
“We already have plans set in place to catch these suspects. We have managed to positively identify two suspects and have placed a police tracking team on their trail, we are expecting arrests soon which could perhaps lead to more arrests, so that we can put an end to these burglaries,” he said. “Even though we have positively identified two suspects, we established that only one of them was involved at a time when these burglaries occurred. How they operate is by gaining entry through unlocked doors and windows, and even through glass sliding doors. So, they are not physically breaking in, rather gaining entry through unsecured entrances.”

This week the Greater Tzaneen Municipality embarked on another of their clean-up campaigns and removed what they termed illegal outdoor advertising boards from various areas around Tzaneen town. Some of the most contentious areas that were targeted, was the popular Minitzani park situated in Boundary Street, and Adshade Street leading up past Sugarhill.
“We suspect there is more than one person involved. It was agreed after a meeting between the SAPS, the security cluster, Tzaneen’s Neighbourhood Watch and the CPF, that we need to be more visible. We are intensifying our patrols in the affected areas,” said Kröh.

According to the municipal bylaws, no person can erect or display any advertising sign or board against any structure or building without first obtaining permission from the municipality. To gain approval, an application must be made to the municipality detailing the locale and size and positioning of the intended sign or board and an application fee is to be paid. Upon approval, there is a contract entered into with the advertiser and the municipality and an annual fee is to be paid. Many upset and frustrated businesspeople aired their unhappiness at the removal of the advertising boards, more specifically the way the municipality removed the offending signs. The boards were ripped from their fixtures and piled onto a heap on the ground. In some instances, boards attached to poles buried in the ground, were pushed over with a truck, destroying the steel structures and rendering the boards unusable.
He was met by a group of around ten African men, two of them armed with firearms and the rest all carrying sticks “looking ready for battle.” The farmworker said that he was pointed with a fire arm and forced back inside his room where the men bound his hands and feet together with shoelaces before they ransacked his dwelling. The men allegedly made it clear to him that they were not looking to harm him, but they were after his employer – whom they mentioned by name.
Some of the owners of advertising boards in Adshade Street have in the meantime approached the Tzaneen Police to lay a charge of vandalism against the municipality, but according to one of the plaintiffs, the police officers were unwilling to assist him with opening a case. More businesspeople have in the meantime said that they too would be laying charges with the police.
did not manage to gain entry or rob the main house, and the owner told police that he did not see or hear anything on the night of the attempted robbery. The farmworker alleged that the assailants were speaking fluent Sepedi, but that their accents were Zimbabwean. The police are now investigating a case of house robbery.
ing Forum (CPF), Uwe Kröh, said they have since received some new information which will help to fast track the apprehension of these burglars.
In the case of Minitzani park, the originator of the idea to fence off the park and hang the signboards upon it, had not followed the correct processes and did not at the time obtain the relevant permissions from the Municipal Manager at the time, Thapelo Matlala. Matlala resigned in September 2021 and was temporarily replaced by Aleck Nkuna, the director of community services, as acting Municipal Manager. Only then, on the 15th of September 2021, the approval of the Minitzani Park project was approved. By that time,
“We are removing every sign in town that has not been approved by the municipality. This week we have been removing signs without fear or favour, if you don’t have an approval letter from the GTM, your sign will be removed. We want people to adhere to our bylaws. We will extend this programme to our townships as well,” said Neville Ndlala, spokesperson for the GTM.
The local police are investigating a case of house robbery on the farm AH J3 in Agatha just outside Tzaneen. According to reports a Mozambican national working on the farm was busy cooking a meal in his room at around 19:00 on Monday evening when he went outside for some fresh air.
Two of the men remained at the entrance to the

Kröh also emphasized improving security habits at home, like making sure the garage door is not only shut, but properly locked. And to make sure valuable items are out of reach from prying eyes. He also noted that generators during loadshedding create a lot of noise that criminals use to mask their entry into homes.
The circle of justice is finally narrowing for the suspects responsible for a spate of burglaries, in Tzaneen’s residential area of Aqua Park. According to Brig Charles Masinamela, station commander of Tzaneen police, the SAPS have since met with various stakeholders in the security industry to attempt to apprehend these suspects.
The items most sought after by these suspects are easy to carry electronic devices like laptops, tablets and smartphones. Masinamela said that they have made two SAPS vehicles available to assist with patrols at night of which one vehicle will be dedicated to Aqua Park which is the most affected area currently. He hoped with all the cooperation from Tzaneen’s security cluster that arrests will be made soon.

It is rumoured that these water tankers consume in the region of 50% of Tzaneen’s water, which can certainly put a strain on this town’s water supply.

“Never attempt to kill or catch any snake, it is best to immediately call a snake catcher in your region and the best way to find the closest one to you, is to download the free app called ASI Snakes,” stated Strydom. “Do not lose sight of the snake until the snake-catcher arrives. That is why there must be a spotter to keep everyone up to date on the snake’s whereabouts and when the snake catcher arrives, he will take it from there.”

Second on the list of hot topics was the fire hydrant issue. More specifically the lack of enforcement by the Greater Tzaneen Municipality of the agreement they entered into with the private water tankers which stated that water may only be drawn from the hydrant in Koedoe Street and that a record would be kept of the approved tankers. The water tankers are spotted daily all around town drawing water from hydrants in residential areas.

The MLM refused to respond to the allegations as they stated that the DA was part of council and they knew their reasons. “If they have any grievances, they should follow proper procedures,” stated the acting municipal manager of Maruleng Municipality, Nanki Hoaeane.

Dit is egter so dat die “tye” in elk geval in ‘n gesprek opduik. Terwyl Weyers die skuim van sy bolip en neuspunt afvee, sê hy; “My arme vriend wat in Waterkloof bly....” en toe val Dawid hom in die rede.
“Imposing portfolio committees on DA councilors does not comply with the Municipal Structures Act 117 and the rules of order. The DA, like any other party, as is common practice in other municipalities, has the right to decide how, and who it allocates to
Moropane said that they previously wrote to the whip regarding the exclusion of DA members from portfolio committee meetings, but the matter was never resolved. She also added that should the allocations not be resolved through a multi-party whipper meeting that seeks to find an amicable solution, the DA would escalate the matter to the MEC for Coghsta.“TheDA will continue to reject the attempts by ANC to keep DA councilors out of critical committees as they seek to avoid accountability and transparency,” stated the councilor.
She said it was unacceptable for the ANC, its whip in council, and the speaker to allocate DA councilors to portfolio committees as it deems fit on behalf of the DA.
Die kurator was baie aangenaam. My vriend vra toe vir hom of hy nie toevallig ‘n “joppie” vir hom het nie. Die kurator was dadelik positief.
My vriend, by gebrek aan werk, het ingestem om die rol te vertolk. Die daaropvolgende Maandag is my vriend, sy naam is Apie, by die dieretuin om die dag se werk te begin. Die gorillapak aangetrek stoot hulle hom by die agterste staaldeur van die hok in.
In die middel van die hok hang daar toe ‘n tou en elke nou en dan, nadat Apie aan die tralies van die hok geruk het om die besoekers skrik te maak, het hy die tou gegryp en heen en weer in die hok geswaai. Apie se baas was in vervoering oor hoe goed hy ‘n gorilla na-aap.
Hy skree toe kliphard; “HELP”, waarop die leeu toe antwoord; “Sjarrap, wil jy hê ons moet altwee ons werk verloor?”

In die wedstryd teen Oosskool het Tzaneen se seuns met twee doele teen nul die wedstryd beklink om later met die span van Suidskool met ‘n telling van 4-0 af te reken. Op hul beurt het Laerskool Tzaneen se eerste meisiesspan as naaswenners in hul wedstryde teen Pietersburg geëindig. Die meisies het hul eerste wedstryd gelykop teen Oosskool met een doel elk gespeel en later vir Suidskool met 4-0 gewen.
Du Toit Jnr was partnered with Dalton de Bruin and Warren Venter. The SA women’s team consisted out of Hanneli Zondagh and Christelle van der Meulen.
The International BMW GS Trophy 2022, which is held every two years, took place last week in Albania from the 4th until the 10th of September. The South African men’s team made history when they won this event for a fourth consecutive time.
Laerskool Tzaneen se eerste seuns hokkiespan het as die wenners van die Limpopo Premier Hokkie liga uit die stryd getreë. Dit na ‘n reeks wedstryde wat Saterdag, die 10de September teen Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos (Oosskool) en Laerskool Pietersburg op Ben Vorster se hokkiebaan gespeel is.

To add to the South Africans’ celebrations, the women’s team also managed to clinch the top spot to make it a double whammy of International GS Trophy titles. It was the first time the SA ladies team managed to win the coveted title. The South African men won the last three GS Trophy International events in 2020 (New Zealand), 2018 (Mongolia) and in 2016 (Thailand).
What makes this event even more significant is that local rider, Gerrit du Toit Junior, formed part of the winning team, who competed against some of the best adventure bike riders in the world. This after he won the national qualifying round in September last year and so became the youngest rider ever to accomplish this feat and be selected for the South African

For Du Toit Jnr and his teammates it was no simple task claiming top spot and it was only in the last few days of the competition that they really started to stamp down their authority. South Africa topped the score sheet with a final tally of 217 points, with the United Kingdom’s team in second on 204 and Germany in third place on 185 points. The South African women won their hotly contested division with a final score of 297 points with Germany taking second place on 296 points and the Mexican women’s riders in third on 264 points.

The Vikings batsmen clearly had their sites fixed on the boundary lines from the very first ball and soon amassed an impressive 98 runs for just six wickets before they took to their fielding duties.

Phoenix Cricket Club in Modjadjiskloof had to find a way to upgrade and maintain their cricket pitch at the Modjadjiskloof Cricket grounds to preserve the area’s only stand-alone cricket grounds and keep the sport from dying a silent death. The club’s management brainstormed an ingenious cricket format which they titled the T10 Series.
In their turn between the wickets, The Spears seemed to be in trouble on 59 for five in just the sixth over when Armand Pansergrouw (34) stepped up the pace with his big hitter partner, Don Rade (24) to secure a nail-biting 101/7 and win the round to progress to the next round.

Following a loadshedding break, the Spears walked onto the pitch to face the Gladiators in the final of the day. The Spears went in to bat first and managed to navigate around the mighty Gladiator fielders to rack up a larger than expected 98/3 in their 10 overs. The Gladiators took to the wickets with a very
The Spears’ star bowler, Michael Mahlaba, laid most of their fears to rest when he took out the mighty Galloway with a top class catch off his own bowling to halt the heavyweight’s runs tally on just 24 in the third over. With Galloway’s scalp in the Spears’s changeroom, the Gladiators lost their momentum and four wickets in the space of just two overs to end their run on 87/7 after 10 overs. The CJJ Spears took the win in comfortable style to hoist the inaugural Bulletin T10 Tournament trophy.Batsmen of the tournament was the partnership between Justyn Trueman and Emile Kruger who raked up 100 runs off 47 balls.

The second game saw the BB Gladiators take on the Vikings in an equally intense match that saw the Vikings again bat first. The Gladiator bowlers and exceptional outbound fielding prevented the Norsemen from attaining their century and they ended their run on 90/4 after 10 overs.
In this series, three teams comprised of players from across the province, would compete in a round-robin style one-day tournament in 10-overs-games for the trophy. Three sponsors for the event, BB Motor Group, CJJ Spares and All About Apparel bought the players for their teams on auction a week before the games were played. The players were capped at a ceremony on Friday evening, the 9th of September, and the games started that following morning. Bulletin took on the role of the media sponsor for the event and so the Bulletin T10 Cricket Series was born.
In the first match, the All About Apparel Vikings took on the CJJ Spears team with the Spears winning the toss and electing to field first.
