‘Visible policing needed in Westenburg’ - residents

KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com A woman in her thirties became the most recent victim of rape in Westenburg after she was raped

and left naked under the bridge adjacent to Buys Street on Friday. It is alleged that she was raped under the bridge and all her clothes stolen, before the three foreign national suspects fled on foot.

The visibly shaken victim explained that the more she begged for mercy, the more they laughed. During the ordeal she quickly realised that her attack-

ers were foreign nationals, who in her opinion is responsible for most of the crimes in her community. Clothed in only a blanket and with adrenalin still pumping freshly To page 2

Mega cleanup to curb corruption MPHO DUBE >>mphodube.observer@gmail.com

A major clean out by Premier Stan Mathabatha’s administration is currently underway to apparently curb corruption in all government departments, agencies, parastatals and boards. Mathabatha wasted no time to start weeding out all elements linked to his predecessor, Cassel Mathale and his allies. Post Mangaung the political core has moved to Sekhukhune and Lepelle-Nkumpi.

Cope Youth welcomes suspension of Nyda’s CEO >> The NYDA has become a lost cause MPHO DUBE >>mphodube.observer@gmail.com Mr Abel Rangata, Secretary General of the Congress of the People (Cope) Youth Movement in Limpopo has welcomed the recent suspension of Mr Steven Ngubeni, Chief Ececutive Officer of the National Youth Development Agency (Nyda). Rangata said the agency’s board has finally heeded the call, hitherto led by CopeYM, to do a thorough investigation into the conduct of Ngubeni concerning alleged irregularities in the running of Nyda. Rangata said in a statement on Friday that CopeYM also questioned the alleged awarding of a R22 million catering contract to the uncle of Ngubeni’s wife’s during the ‘Kissing Festival’ that was meant to be a

From page 1 through her veins she accompanied the Police officials on the scene of the crime, in the hopes of finding the suspects who less than half an hour ago raped her. Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, spokesperson for the Limpopo Police is of the opinion that every criminal is treated as a criminal, regardless of their nationality. “I cannot deny that foreigners commit a high level of crime.” Mulaudzi further explains that the South African Police are working in close partnership with our bordering countries like Zimbabwe and Mozambique to curb such incidents. Concerned residents from Buys Street exclusively spoke to Polokwane Observer on Friday in the hope that the Westenburg Police will pull up their socks and start monitoring foreign nationals in the area more closely. Angry residents are of varying opinions on the crime situation in Westenburg but all agree to the fact that visible policing is not being

World Festival of Students and Youth. Rangata told Polokwane Observer that CopeYM is probing Ngubeni’s recent role in the alleged recent spending of R20 million in taxpayers’ money on music equipment at inflated prices for up-and-coming DJs and wannabe music producers at R96 000 per instrument. Rangata said: “Ngubeni defended the deal with Madlosi Entertainment, owned by Kaya FM station manager Greg Maloka and Kalawa Jazzme’s Oskido Mdlongwa. We welcome the investigations set up by the Chairperson of Nyda, Yershen Pillay. While we welcome the call made by Nyda and the internal investigations taking place within the Nyda, we are however renewing our call for the National Youth Development Agency to be disbanded and call for the President to set up a national youth ministry to look solely at the issues of the youth and implement youth related programmes.” CopeYM through Rangata further said:

“The NYDA has become a lost cause and an embarrassment to the cause of the youth in South Africa. It has become a liability to the government and is failing to address youth problems and instead has become a cash cow for the ANCYL (African National Congress’s Youth League), where most of the members of Nyda came from and more goes to enrich the Nyda members through inflated salaries. Taxpayers’ money meant to develop our country’s youth has been spent on needless exercises and did not reach the unemployed young people of this country.” The movement has also called for Mr Collins Chabane, Minister in the Presidency responsible for Performance Monitoring and Evaluation to carefully revise its need for Nyda and realise that it is a misrepresentation of the needs of South Africa’s youth. “Our government needs to devise means to create a better system for the development of the South African Youth,” Rangata concluded.

undertaken. “The Police need to step in and create fear. If people fear the Police arriving while they are committing crimes, this might help curb the crimes. Right now this is not the case as criminals know Westenburg is an easy target and that the Police are slow.” Another resident from Buys Street explains that they don’t know who the criminals are anymore. They feel that everyone you walk past can be a criminal. “We are too scared to go outside our houses anymore and keep our doors locked even in the daytime. Our children used to always play safely in the streets but nowadays even that is taboo.” Mulaudzi further adds that the Police officials on the scene accompanied the woman to the hospital after seeing she needed medical attention. “Upon their return she had discharged herself and never laid a charge. The officials did more than was expected of them as it is not usual procedure to accompany a rape victim to the hospital.”

Mega cleanup to curb corruption

From page 1 Mr Seaparo Sekoati, MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (Ledet) was earlier this week instructed to dissolve all boards of the Limpopo Development Agency (Leda). The announcement by Ledet Head of Department, Mr Solly Kgopong of the resignation of all members of the Leda Board was preceded by Polokwane Observer being reliably informed by an inside source of the imminent disbanding of the boards of Great North Transport, Corridor Mining Resources (Pty) Ltd (CMR) and Risima Housing Project. Mr Simon Matome, Senior Manager in the office of the MEC (Sekoati) and acting Spokesperson for Ledet said: “This process will allow Grant Farrell invites existing and new the new administracustomers to contact him for the best tion to put in place deals, professional service and expert new structures advice! in the interest of The new Golf GTI has arrived! consolidating service delivery in the provTel: 015 299 8806 ince.” Matome who Cell: 071 319 2298 denied allegations Fax: 086 267 3309 of purging, revenge e-mail: sales5@vwpolokwane.co.za and it’s our time to cnr Nelson Mandela & Grobler streets Grant Farrell eat tendencies now VW Sales Executive Motorcity, Polokwane, 0701 that the new leader-

Kgopong in a statement yesterday (Wednesday) said: “The reason behind this disbandment is to allow the shareholder the opportunity to reconstitute the board’s governance structure to be in line with the strategic direction of the new leadership in the province.” Matome said the Office of the MEC accepts the resignations and thanked all boards members for the work done and the commitment shown in the past seven months under Mathale’s administration. Mathale’s support staff has also been moved. Mr Mogale Nchabeleng returned to his position as Chief of Staff after being ousted and marginalised by Mathale to work as General Manager for Infrastructure. He was swapped with Mr Phuti Mosomane who was Mathale’s Chief of Staff and Ms Mashadi Mathosa, Mathale’s Spokesperson was replaced by season veteran spin doctor Mr Kenny Mathivha. Mathosa was also moved to announce to another unit at the Premier Office. This occurred after Mathabatha warned that he will not allow anybody to “drag” Limpopo through “the mud” as a result of “senseless and heinous acts of corruption and maladministration”. Mathabatha further urged all stakehold-

ers in the province to reclaim the dignity and glory of Limpopo as the province of peace and prosperity. “Those found guilty must be made to pay for their misdeeds. We cannot allow people to use state resources for personal enrichment. This is the taxpayer’s money. It is meant for nothing else but the improvement of the conditions of living of our people,” he said. Polokwane Observer approached the ANC Provincial Task Team (PPT) for comment about cleaning out or purging. Provincial Spokesperson, Mr Sello Lediga dismissed the allegations. “The PTT is happy about the new leadership, the Cabinet and administration. We are very happy and we aren’t divided but united. Our Chairperson Philemon Mdaka is also happy and he has invited our Premier to sit in the PTT meetings. Premier Mathaba is our Premier and he will attend PTT meetings.” The only surviving member of Mathale’s support staff, Limpopo Government Spokesperson Mr Tebatso Mabitsela said: “Government will continue to do its work in line with the principle of the law and applicable policies. “Whatever is done is informed by those policies and will from time to time strengthen our service delivery in a quest to create a better life for our people. What we do it is with the interest of making the required impact to the lives of our people. Government has no intention to purge anybody.”

Skoolfiasko: Hekke gesluit om leerders uit te dwing KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com

estenburg Sekondêre Skool se beheerliggaam en leerders is steeds ontevrede nadat alle knelpunte wat tot Maandagoggend se sluit van die skoolhekke gelei het, nie tydens ‘n vergadering met die departement van onderwys aangespreek is nie. Intussen is onderrig by die skool weer hervat. Ontstoke ouers het Maandagoggend die hekke gesluit oor die hoof se beweerde onvermoë om die skool te bestuur en leerders is vir die dag huis toe gestuur. Verskeie leerders was meer as gewillig om ‘n af dag te hê, maar dosyne het hulle misnoeë uitgespreek en gesê hul ondersteun die skoolhoof, mnr Petrus Monyama. “Ons is lief vir ons prinsipaal. Vandat hy twee jaar gelede hier begin het, het die skool net verbeter. Mense vergeet dat daar baie meer probleme was toe hy hier aangekom het en dat hy stelselmatig probleme aanspreek.” Ooggetuies vertel hoe ouers, vermoedelik met die ondersteuning van die skool se beheerliggaamlede, die hekke gesluit het totdat hulle versoeke en klagtes aangehoor is. Verskeie Afrikaanssprekende ouers voel dat hulle kinders deur die huidige hoof afgeskeep word. Hulle sê: “Mnr Petrus Monyama probeer stelselmatig die Afrikaans-medium onderwys uitfaseer. Ons sal baklei totdat hy sy posisie kwyt is.” Verskeie ander klagtes, onder meer die elektrisiteitrekening wat

nie betaal word nie, die telefoonlyn wat afgesny is en die onhigiëniese badkamergeriewe is van die ouers se ander griewe. Die voorsitter van die skool se beheerliggaam, mnr Eugene Lyle sê hulle het niks met die sluit van die hekke te doen gehad nie en dat hulle inteendeel die ontstoke ouers probeer kalmeer het. “Ons het Maandag ‘n vergadering met die departement van onderwys belê.” Lyle vertel dat die vergadering wel plaasgevind het, maar dat mnr Jackson Thamaga dit nie self kon bywoon nie en ‘n verteenwoordiger gestuur het. “Slegs die kwessie van die geslote hekke is bespreek. Die vergadering was baie kort en ons is slegs gevra om seker te maak dat die hekke nie weer gesluit word nie en dat skool soos normaal sal voortgaan.” Lyle voeg by dat die departement

hul klagte ontvang het en dit so gou moontlik sal ondersoek. Daar is ook ‘n vergadering vir Saterdag, 3 Augustus geskeduleer waar ouers en die beheerliggaam teenwoordig sal wees. Monyama is van mening dat die situasie nog nie opgelos is nie en dat dit nou in die hande van die departement is. “Ons verskille behoort nie kinders uit die skool te hou nie. Onderrig van leerders moet eerste kom. Ons is almal grootmense en behoort so op te tree.” Hy voeg by dat die kinders almal terug by die skool is en dat onderrig soos gewoonlik prioriteit bly. Mnr Pat Kgomo, woordvoerder van die onderwysdepartement sê die vergadering tussen hulle en die skool het goed afgeloop en dat al die kwessies volgens die regte prosedure hanteer sal word.

‘Education is bleeding’ - Angie MPHO DUBE >>mphodube.observer@gmail.com

asic Education Minister, Ms Angie Motshekga admitted that problems in the Department of Education in Limpopo are running too deep and that it will take a miracle to fix them all at once and speedily. This was Motshekga’s first open admission as to the seriousness of the crisis the Department of Education in Limpopo has been forced to face due to the late delivery of text books, infrastructure challenges, inadequate learning and teaching support materials (LTSM), shortages of staff, Section 100 intervention and a financial management crisis. Addressing members of the media during a press conference held at the department’s head office, Motshekga introduced and welcomed Ms Dikeledi Magadzi as the new MEC for Education after Mr Dickson Masemola was redeployed as MEC of Public Works following a cabinet reshuffle by new Limpopo Premier, Mr Stan Mathabatha. Motshekga said: “I’m confident that my colleague and I will work closely together to stop the bleeding at this department. I’m indeed thrilled to introduce to you the new MEC for Education, Ms Magadzi, a person I assume you all know.” Motshega’s visit intended to bring Magadzi up to speed in terms of the performance of the department in particular the implementation of Section 100(1)(b) as well as monitoring progress of the department thus far. Responding to Polokwane Observer’s inquiry about how long it is going to take to resolve the well documented problems the department has encountered Motshekga said the department will source help from professionals to help it deal with its problems. She confessed that the department doesn’t have enough budget to address the can of worms and dirty laundry that has become public over the past months. She however said she will engage Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan to inject more

funds and increase the department’s budget. “We have a backlog in infrastructure. We will engage the Treasury department and I’ll speak to my colleague, Minister Gordhan. We will have to work closely to stop the bleeding. The Head of Department, Mr Morebudi Thamaga and the Chief Financial Officer, Mr Martin Mashaba, will have to give me a report as I’ll be coming back in two weeks,” Motshekga said. “Problems in this department are very deep and we don’t have a time frame on when we are going to fix them. It can be ten years or more, however what is important is to stop the bleeding. I don’t even remember when last this department received a clean audit. She then added, addressing this journalist: “Mpho, we will not give you a time frame, we can only stop the bleeding.” The challenged of attracting teachers in Mathematics, Physical Science and English remain, Minister Motshekga confessed. However, she urged the department to urgently consider the deployment of information and communication technology to create virtual classrooms to reach out to learners who do not have suitably qualified teachers as well as rolling out learner support programmes. She also said: “We are receiving reports that the outstanding shortage of LTSM has now being concluded and preparations for delivery for the 2014 academic year have begun. The mediation of textbook shortages to schools has been addressed and Vhembe district was the last to be addressed. The process to procure and deliver LTSM for the 2014 school calendar year is well on course.” As part of strengthening the support for the province Motshekga said the Department of Basic Education has released four of its senior managers to come and work with the administrator. “The team will provide support in critical areas especially curriculum support, LTSM, teacher development, stakeholder, relations and financial support,” Motshekga said.

Nurtra Paints owner, Mr Ross Clayton points to the hole in the roof where a burglar gained access to his business on Sunday morning.

“When your security company alerts you of the alarm at your business, get there quickly to unlock the premises.” This is the advice of Mr Ross Clayton, owner of Nurtra Paints in Schoeman Street whose quick response to a possible break-in at his business resulted in the apprehension of a burglar. Salute Security informed Clayton of a security breach at his premises and he then made his way there to give the security guard access to the premises. “Both of us searched the premises and found a hole in the ceiling as well as that a part of the roof at the back of the building had been cut and lifted. It was when the security guard looked underneath the lifted corrugated iron sheet that he came face to face with the burglar,” Clayton explained. The guard and Clayton questioned the

perpetrator who responded saying that he was sent by a former employee of Clayton who allegedly was seeking revenge for not being paid. Clayton said he never had an employee by that name. A cell phone allegedly stolen from a drawer in the office and a zinc cutter used to gain access through the roof were found in the burglar’s possession. The man was taken away by Police.

“Dit is amper sewe jaar na my kind se dood. Al troos wat ek het, is om by haar graf te sit en met haar te gesels. Dan voel dit weer of sy by my is en word die hartseer draagliker. Nou word dit óók van my ontneem.” Me Liane Myburgh het op 5 November 2006 langs haar dogter, Nadine (14) se lewelose liggaam gestaan toe sy op die hoek van Dorpen Devenishstraat in ‘n motorongeluk oorlede is. Vandag kan sy nie haar kind se graf besoek nie en deel haar hartseer met Polokwane Observer. Nadine is in die NG Kerk Moedergemeente se begraafplaas, langs Laerskool Chris Hofmeyr op die Zebedielapad, begrawe. Die graf is deur die kerk aan Liane geskenk en sy sê die begraafplaas was sewe jaar gelede die perfekte plek om haar geliefde dogter ter ruste te lê. “Daar was ‘n lieflike groen grasperk met selfs ‘n trop skape wat naby gewei het. Vandag is

dit te onveilig om daarheen te gaan omdat die gras sowat twee meter hoog staan en die begraafplaas glad nie onderhou word nie,” sê sy. Ds Deon Haumann van die NG Kerk Moedergemeente sê die begraafplaas is jare gelede aan die kerk bemaak en hulle het nie die geld om dit in stand te hou nie. “Vroeër jare het ons wel gesorg dat die gras gesny word, maar dit het onbekostigbaar geword. Boosdoeners steel selfs die drade,” sê hy. Haumann-hulle het by die Polokwane Munisipaliteit aansoek gedoen om erwe aan die gemeenskap te verkoop om die onderhoudskoste van die terrein te dek, maar die munisipaliteit het ‘n stokkie daarvoor gesteek omdat die Sandrivier baie naby die erwe verbyloop en dit ‘n katastrofe sal afgee omdat boere in die omgewing van dié water gebruik maak. “Daarom het ons gestaak om nuwe grafte in dié begraafplaas aan die gemeenskap te bied,” sê hy. Haumann voel dit is die afgestorwenes se familie wat verantwoordelikheid vir die onderhoud moet neem. “Die gemeenskap moet bydra tot hul nasate se versorging. Dit is onbillik om van die kerk te verwag om na die grond om te sien aangesien die grond slegs aan ons bemaak is,” sê hy.

ewly appointed MEC for Roads and Transport, Mr Lehlogonolo Masoga has vowed to reclaim the integrity of his department following public perception of maladministration, fraud and corruption. Masoga told Polokwane Observer during an exclusive interview that his administration will decisively, without fear or favour, deal with all cases of corruption and maladministration. “There is unfortunately a general perception that there is corruption and maladministration in the department. However, if you really take the trouble to look into the real story behind this, you’ll discover a couple of unfortunate incidents. All the hullabaloo was more about

individuals who unfortunately tainted the image of the department,” Masoga said. He however expressed his confidence and faith in the administration of the department. “I can put it on record that there are men and women of honour and integrity in this department who are doing their work as professional public servants. It is our plan to turn around the public’s perception of corruption and maladministration by reclaiming the integrity and the glory of this department. We are going to unapologetically without fear or favours decisively deal with all allegations, cases of corruption and maladministration,” Masoga warned. The Public Protector, Ms Thuli Madonsela’s report and recommendations following the cases of fraud and corruption are a powerful tool for Masoga’s mission to reclaim the glory

Masemola calls political heads to assume responsibility Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Newly appointed MEC of Public Works, Mr Dickson Masemola has called upon political heads in all spheres of government to assume their responsibly in ensuring that the Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) is not only a success in terms of the number of work opportunities created, but also in transferring skills development to the peoples through job training. Masemola was speaking at an EPWP Summit at Tivumbeni Multipurpose Centre in NkowaNkowa last Friday. “We are in the second phase of the programme of which has been a success. Since 2009 we have managed to employ more than 100 people in the province. We are happy with the progress it made and were ready for the third phase,” Masemola said. He also stressed that is important to transfer skills to people so

that they in turn can transfer skills to others. “When these people take part in projects they are also able to transfer the same skills to others and that is what we want,” Masemola said. The second phase of the programme which was launched in 2009, covers the period 2009/10 until March 2014 and aims to create 4,5 million work opportunities to the unemployed South Africans, thereby contributing significantly to the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving unemployment by 2014. The programme is aimed at the alleviation of poverty and unemployment. It also ensures the full engagement on labour intensive methods of construction (LIC) to contractors for skills development. The programme focuses at reducing unemployment by increasing economic growth by means of improving skills levels through education and training and improving the enabling environment for the industry to flourish.

and dignity in his department both as political head and proficient administrator. When asked about the Public Protector’s recommendation he told Polokwane Observer: “We have been assisted a great deal by investigations by the Public Protector and team of Administrators to uncover some few cases of corruption and maladministration. We are currently in the process of implementing recommendations of the Public Protector and the intervention team is in full swing. And as a result of that we anticipate to secure an unqualified audit opinion and for us that is the stepping stone in the direction of reclaiming the glory and the integrity of the department,” Masoga said. He added that he hopes that the financial situation in the province will improve in time which will give the Department of Roads and Transport to invest

resources in providing safe and sustainable roads infrastructure across the province. “We walk in this department with good plans however we will bring new energy, work ethics, and do things better and faster,” he said. When asked about his new endeavour and how he felt when appointed by Premier Stan Mathabatha, he said: “It was a pleasant surprise when I was informed by the Premier about his decision to appoint me as the MEC for the Department for Roads and Transport.” Setting the record straight that he is definitely equal to the task to accelerate service delivery to the people of Limpopo, Masoga said: “By the time I was sworn in the excitement was long gone because my mind was preoccupied by the task ahead. I however express my appreciation to Premier Chupu Mathabatha for giving me such responsibility.”

Masemola heeds Mathabatha’s call MPHO DUBE >>mphodube.observer@gmail.com Public Works MEC, Mr Dickson Masemola, wasting no time in heeding Premier, Mr Stanley Mathabatha’s call for accelerated service delivery, hosted a two-day summit last week for the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) aimed at integrated planning for maximisation of creating suitable jobs. Departmental Spokesperson, Ms Nthabiseng Boya this week confirmed that the first chapter of the EPWP has come and gone and that Limpopo government has made a satisfactory contribution given the national target of one million work opportunities. On Monday Masemola was on record that Limpopo Government was able to contribute 144 472 work opportunities. He said however that in the current phase, the Department of Public Works should further scale up to contribute significantly to ensure that unemployment is halved by 2014. Masemola said Mathabatha’s administration is expected to contribute 441 993 work opportunities of the national target of 4, 5 million work

opportunities during the second phase of the programme. He added that during the first phase few municipalities participated, hence a decision taken by Government in 2010/11 intended to commit municipalities as well as other implementing bodies. The main purpose thereof was to ensure political and administrative accountability by all implementing bodies. Masemola said: “We held our first EPWP summit last year, and there were resolutions taken. I expect progress on those resolutions here today and tomorrow. The progress on implementation by all sectors except that of social has dropped significantly over the past few years.” He also said the programme has come a long way but much more still needs to be done. He explained that with the support of the Department of Corporative Governance, Human Settlement and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) five-year Protocol Agreements were signed with 30 mayors in the province as at 2010/11, while ten provincial departments signed Incentive Agreements with the national Department of Public Works. “We have just recently completed

launching the five EPWP District Forums, with the objective of intensifying coordination of EPWP at Municipal level and to further maximise municipal contribution to the provincial target. This speaks directly to the 30% contribution by municipalities.” He added: “We expect maximum participation from all and sundry, particularly because a strong foundation has now been laid. I thank all of you who made it to the summit. During this summit, let us use the lessons learned to date to plan an aggressive up-scaling strategy and increase job creation, alleviating poverty in this province.” Addressing different stakeholders represented by close to 500 delegates at Tivumbeni Multipurpose Centre, NkowaNkowa on Thursday, Masemola urged: “Through this summit, let us use lessons learned to date to plan on aggressive up-scaling strategy and increase job creation, alleviating poverty in this province. The main objective of meeting here is to evaluate our contribution as the province towards the alleviation of poverty through the creation of labour intensive work opportunities.”

A local developer, Mr Lazarus Matsaung.

MPHO DUBE >>mphodube.observer@gmail.com A local developer, Mr Lazarus Matsaung intends interdicting Polokwane Municipality over the multimillion Motor City Development tender issued by it last year. Matsaung yesterday (Wednesday) said he will approach the High Court until proper procedures are followed when the much criticised tender was issued by Polokwane Municipality. Matsaung is the second complainant about the tender to approach Polokwane Observer in less than two weeks. Earlier Polokwane Observer reported that Public Protector, Adv Thuli Madonsela was alerted about the alleged tender fraud at the municipality involving prominent role players in the local economy. Matsaung has also requested documents of the access of public body, Section 18(1) of the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 200(Act 2 of 2000) at Polokwane Municipality about the Motor City tender. He said: “I want to put on record that I’m going to take Polokwane Municipality on about the tendering processes. As long as proper procedures aren’t followed, I’m of a view that I have a right to information. The municipality must refrain from not following proper procurement procedures.” Polokwane Observer is in possession of the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 200 (Act 2 of 2000) documents that were submitted to Polokwane Municipality’s Legal Department. Matsaung is demanding all minutes of the tender evaluation, processes of the entire awarding of the tender and recommendations. He warned: “Failure to provide the information that I have requested, the municipality leaves me no choice but to take legal action against them. I’m doing this because I am adamant that proper procedures weren’t followed when this tender was issued.” Municipal Spokesperson Mr Simon Mokoatedi said Matsaung’s matter will be handled by the Municipality’s Legal Department. He however refused to comment further saying that the Municipality has already commented about the The Public Protector hasn’t responded yet

however National Spokesperson for the Public Protector, Mr Oupa Segalwe said the Public Protector will apply her mind over the matter. He reiterated, however, that the matter will be subjected to assessment, jurisdiction and testing. Polokwane Observer is in possession of two documents of Special Power of Attorney which clearly show that there was foul play when the tender for the multi-million development along the Modjadjiskloof road was issued. According to the documents, at the time of issuing the tender to Polokwane Eastern Boulevard (PEB) Properties (Pty) Ltd by Polokwane Municipality, PEB Properties was not registered for VAT. Once the informer noticed the alleged tender fraud and discrepancies, he approached the municipality and took them on about the matter. The documents which were handed to the objectors contained one page while the one in the file of the municipality had two pages. The documents were signed by Municipal Manager, Ms Connie Mametja on 26 October 2012 but the document was only printed on 2 November 2012 which raised eyebrows in the business arena. Mokoatedi said in a statement this matter was laid to rest in a fair and formal objections hearing and that this is just another attempt to initiate a public hearing in the media.

Mabudafhasi said. The Deputy Minister adopted Siloe School for the blind in honour of former president Nelson Mandela. The School caters for the 150 Blind, partially sighted and deaf-blind pupils, with 23 educators and 30 support staff. The school’s Principal, Ms Ramokone Molepo thanked Mabudafhasi and their other benefactors for the initiative “We were in dire need of several resources that would make teaching to take place in a more conducive environment. We are grateful that the Deputy Minister has adopted our school out of many and we want to thank her for going an extra mile in ensuring that we become better people. We feel special,” Molepo said.

Taxi Association apologises to commuters HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

eshego Polokwane Taxi Association has apologised to the commuters who were affected by the altercation between the association and Moletjie Taxi Association. Late afternoon and early evening on Tuesday saw a myriad of commuters from Moletjie and surrounds being left stranded at the end of their working day because members of the Seshego Polokwane Association blocked the routes leading to the city from Moletjie.

A female resident of Ngwanallela village outside Moletjie told Polokwane Observer that she was left completely stranded and had to sleep at a filling station in town. “There were no taxis available on the day and night, it was chaos. I never thought that the tiff between the associations will ever reach that stage. It was horrible, it was bad for us because we are parents, we could not go to work the following day,” she said.

Science week excites members of the community HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za The Soutpansberg Astronomy Club on Saturday offered visitors to Mall of the North a wonderful opportunity to learn more about astronomy and science and at the same time participate in National Science Week. Those who were interested had a chance to observe the sun through a telescope and learn more about its activities that way. The annual science week ran from 27 July until yesterday (Wednesday) and was organised by the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (Saasat), under the auspices of the Department of Science and Technology (DST). Chairman of Soutpansberg Astronomy Club, Mr Kos Coro-

naios said he was happy about the number of persons that made their way to the mall to learn more about astronomy and science. “We wanted them to explore the wonders and benefits of science. We don’t want them to view it as career for specific individuals but for everyone. It was good to see people queuing for a chance to see the sun through the telescope and showing such keen interest. We also wanted to excite our youth with science at an early age and encourage them to develop an interest in studying mathematics and science subjects,” Coronaios said. Mr Mahlatse Boshomane said he was very happy to have been able to observe the sun. “It was a great experience and I have actually learned a lot.”

Briewe | Letters >> Rhulani Thembi Siweya, a member of the ANC Youth League writes: “It would be incorrect to allow members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) to go around lying and misleading our people. As members of the ANC and Ancyl, we have a collective responsibility to rise in defence of the African National Congress. Our history is recorded by our relentless pursuit for our liberation. The formation of EFF has created a wrong platform for young people to speak and lie in a desperate attempt to confuse voters. This campaign must be exposed for its short-sightedness as it is narrow and lacks direction. The Freedom Charter does not dictate that nationalization is the only vehicle which can be used to steer us towards realization of its objectives. The Economic Freedom Struggle is the struggle led by the African National Congress as mandated by Congress of the People during its adoption more than five decades ago. The 24th National Youth League Conference resolutions amongst others resolved on radical economic changes and were not limited to nationalising. We are shocked when EFF emerges and parades our resolutions as their own brain child and organisers. At worst they use public platforms to redefine our resolutions. Let it be placed on record that it is a pure lie that the ANC has drifted from the freedom charter. If an ANC led Government doesn’t adopt Nationalisation as a policy it doesn’t mean we have drifted away. From the RDP to the current National Development Plan, the ruling

party has been consistent in responding to the Charter. It is absurd that EFF mislead young people into thinking that nationalisation is the only means of distributing wealth. Why is EFF creating a wrong perception and riding on the poor people of our country? EFF needs a little bite of clarity; the Freedom Charter is not a nationalisation charter. This continuous singling and selective reading of the charter must be stopped. Even the Charter is not an action plan and requires of us to discuss various methods which can be used to address ideals of the FC. EFF seems to have resolved that Nationalisation is the only way to distributing wealth which is fine for them, but they must not then create an impression that the ANCYL is party to this. We are opposed to this one way belt of an approach. We were the 1st before the EFF to signal that we need Economic Freedom in our life time. It is in the public domain that the ANC has been consistent in bettering the lives of our people which is an expression from the Charter. The very ANC has never denied that more still needs to be done. Our continuous policy engagement is a reflection of the relentless work of the ANC to emancipate our people from strides of poverty, inequality and unemployment. We are also worried about unemployment and various pressing issues which continue to affect young people and the Youth League remains a relevant organisation to champion issues affecting young people. We continue to engage within with the ruling party in addressing the distribution of the wealth of our country.”

Masoga welcomes arrest of licence fraudsters Roads and Transport MEC Lehlogonolo Masoga has welcomed the arrests of four persons in connection with the issuing of fraudulent licensing documents. They are expected to appear in court in due course. Departmental Spokesperson, Mr Joshua Kwapa, said on Tuesday the intervention unit within the Department of Roads and Transport in cooperation with the Polokwane Municipality have been investigating the fraudulent issuing of licensing documents for the past four months in Polokwane. Masoga described these arrests as a major boost in the department’s drive to rid corruption in the issuing of licensing documents. He said: “We are very pleased by these arrests. We are convinced that these arrests will send a strong message to would be fraudsters that they will face harsh consequences by issuing and distributing fraudulent licensing documents.” He however added that the four civilians who were arrested are not employed by the Department of Roads and Transport or the Municipality. Preliminary investigations led to the intervention unit arresting two persons and hand-

The department is confident that as the investigations continue more arrests will be made and that fraud and corruption will eventually be rooted out of the system,” Masoga said.

Zimbabweans arrested for possessing stolen goods

Mankweng Police on Tuesday arrested two Zimbabwean nationals aged 20 and 29 for possession of suspected stolen property. Const Matimba Maluleke says the arrests were made following intensive investigations after a case of burglary of residence was reported in the Mothapo area. “We followed shoe tracks which led us to the house where the Zimbabweans were residing.” The property for which the suspects failed to account for is estimated at around R80 000. “We are appealing to the community to come forward and identify their property. The two suspects are currently being detained at the Mankweng Police Station and will appear before the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court soon.

Maq Khathide is a Zulu boy from KwaZulu-Natal who has subconsciously embarked on building a legacy in Limpopo. Based in Polokwane, he is the driving force behind an entity that assists specifically the youth and rural formations in tailor-made training for cooperatives. It is Limpopo’s unemployment scenario that is a concern to him and at the same time is the point of departure for efforts aimed at assisting people to conduct business smartly. The interview coincides with the release of national quarterly statistics sketching a gloomy South African scenario sparked by the highest unemployment rate the past five years. Getting to spend time with Khathide it is evident he is passionate about his relatively new home province and its hidden potential. Despite Limpopo’s employment figures seeming bleak, he is hopeful about the future of the province. Khathide is a trained actor who has worked in the human resources sector in England before his return to South Africa at the end of 2011 whereupon he relocated to Limpopo for a job opportunity in the training sphere. He decided to stay on in Limpopo after his contract lapsed and identifying the potential of the province, he says. Being “a Jo’burg boy” his dedication was not initially sparked by Limpopo’s unemployment problems, but he later realised his job extended beyond the classroom, he indicates.

Khathide is cognisant of business possibilities in Polokwane, which is considered one of the three fastest growing South African cities after Mbombela and Rustenburg, in stating that Limpopo’s future can look different. It all starts with people being empowered with the right knowledge, explains Khathide. “It is imperative for the people of Limpopo to work together,” he says, while advocating information sharing between a small grouping possessing the knowledge and the greater population. Through continuous empowerment endeavours he is raising awareness about the creation of sustainable employment opportunities and at the same time aims to introduce the idea of collectivism, which he regards ideal for a largely rural Limpopo. When empowerment is the game, Maq Khathide is the name.

Polokwane Observer spoke to Polokwane residents this week and asked how they felt about the general elections held in Zimbabwe yesterday (Wednesday). Polokwane Observer het hierdie week met inwoners in die stad gesels om te hoor wat hulle van gister (Woensdag) se verkiesing in Zimbabwe dink.

Me Memory Voges: “Dit is tyd vir ‘n nuwe Zimbabwe en nuwe leierskap. Ek het daar grootgeword en bid dat dinge weer regkom. Dis ‘n pragtige land wat niemand meer raaksien nie.”

Ms Rahab Phiri: “The only thing that will help them is if Mr Robert Mugabe steps down or gets defeated. New blood like Morgan Tsvangirai is what will save the country.”

Ms Veronica Manaka: “Mugabe must step down immediately. The Dollar keeps dropping and things are getting worse every day; when will he realise this?”

Ms Sarah Raphela: “Things in Zimbabwe are really bad and if it keep going this way it will just get worse. Mugabe is a very bad man.”

Ms Leona Phiri: “My father is originally from Zimbabwe so I feel very strongly about the situation in that country. A new leader will be able to save the country, if not there’s no hope left for Zimbabwe.”

Mnr Boet Grobler: “Hy is besig om daardie land in die afgrond te regeer. Terwyl Mugabe aan die hoof bly is daar geen hoop nie.

Ms Hannelize van Rensburg: “Mugabe is a very evil man and this is evident in the way he rules the country. A new leader who believes in equality and fairness needs to take over the reins.”

50 jaar se sukses gevier

NTY celebrates five decades of superior quality and service excellence >> Company prides itself on sound business principles >> Dynamic leadership ensures continuity Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

he delicious smell of lamb roasting on the spit wafted over the premises of NTY Steel Works during their 50th birthday celebrations last week. What was initially started as a venture in her backyard to meet her own needs, has become one of the leading steel manufacturing companies in Limpopo. Very few business enterprises in Polokwane can boast of providing a superior product combined with the highest standard of service for the past fifty years. NTY Steel Works can do just that after celebrating their 50th birthday with their personnel, clients, suppliers and specially invited guests with a sumptuous dinner at the factory last week. The company was founded by Ms Lien Grimm, and her husband, Dr Herman Grimm on 24 July 1963 and has since grown to be become one of the leading family-owned businesses in Polokwane. Those who were privileged enough to meet the dynamic former mayor of the then Pietersburg, Ms Lien Grimm describe her as a woman of steel and a natural leader. She was a member of the Pietersburg Town Council from 1957 to 1962 and mayor of the town in 1959/60. As Pietersburg’s first citizen, she brought to the office dignity and charm which typified all her dealings. Grimm carried over all of those sound characteristics and principles during the

less than five years she was at the helm. In the field of business she earned the same respect from her associates and competitors as she did at home and in public life. After dedicating most of her energy in getting NTY established, Grimm died tragically on 11 May 1968 in a vehicle accident just outside town. However, all was not lost as NTY remained in good hands, with Mr Paul Engelbrecht bringing a wealth of experience as the new general manager. It was during a fortuitous meeting between the Grimms and Engelbrecht, who was involved with a similar steel manufacturing concern in Zambia that their business relationship developed. With the purchase of additional machinery, the Grimms and Engelbrecht laid the solid foundation that has made NTY the success it is today. In between many people have continued to hold the reins at NTY, building on the sound business principles and outstanding quality of the products manufactured.

en van NTY Staalwerke se direkteure, me Mignon Hough het verseker dat die maatskappy steeds haar ma, me Lien Grimm se volharding as nalatenskap volg. Mnr Herman Grimm, Lien se man en Hough se pa het die suksesvolle besigheid ‘n halfeeu gelede op die been gebring wat later deur Lien bestuur is. Hough is destyds met mnr Danie Hough getroud en hul enigste seun wat uit die huwe lik gebore is, Anton is reeds die afgelope 21 jaar betrokke by NTY Staalwerke. Sedert 1999 vertolk hy die rol as besturende direkteur. Sy ma prys hom en sy bestuurspan vir puik diens en bestuursvernuf wat daagliks toegepas word. Danie Hough is in 2008 oorlede. “Dit is absoluut die werknemers se lo jaliteit en die bestuur se determinasie en professionaliteit wat NTY Staalwerke se deure die afgelope 50 jaar oophou,” sê Hough. NTY Staalwerke het Donderdagaand hul 50ste bestaansjaar gevier toe personeel, verskaffers en kliënte tydens ‘n spogfunksie onthaal is. Hough vertel van haar dinamiese ma wat in hul agterplaas met twee werkers begin vensterrame maak het. “My pa was ‘n mediese dokter wat staal- en houtwerk as stokperdjie gedoen het. Sy droom was om in die mas savervaardiging van vensterrame betrokke te raak. Na ‘n gesprek met ‘n familielid, mnr Johan Snyman en die enorme opbloei van die boubedryf, het NTY Staalwerke in 1963 tot stand gekom wat aanvanklik ‘n lekker fami liebesigheid was. Ons het die opwaartse en afwaartse neigings van die ekonomie gevoel en

deurgaans oorleef. Die werkers se getrouheid en die ambiance onder hulle is die maatskappy se wenresep,” sê sy. Om dié rede glo Hough dat NTY Staalwerke net nog groter, beter en sterker sal word met ’n rooskleurige toekoms. Daarom beloon hul hulle werkers se toegewydheid. “Van ons werkers doen op ons onkoste besigheidsbe stuurskursusse. Ons het ook goedkoopbe huising vir sommige opgerig om hul lewens kwaliteit te verbeter.” “Oor die afgelope 50 jaar het NTY Staal werke deur dik en dun saamgestaan en deur genade aanhou groei. “Die gesindheid van die werkers en veral van die gemeenskap is onbeskryflik. Almal was en is steeds goed vir ons. Dit maak nie saak hoe sleg dit gegaan het nie, daar het altyd ‘n deur oopgegaan. Ons is werklik geseënd. Polokwane is ‘n plek van vooruitgang en baie geleenthede wat deesdae vir besighede geskep word.”

Me Mignon Hough, een van NTY Staalwerke se direkteure, meen die maatskappy se wenresep is die werkers se lojaliteit en ‘n bekwame topbestuurspan.

NTY se finansiële bestuurder verseker die wiele bly rol

>> 38 jaar diens by die onderneming >> Nog vyf jaar voor sy aftree WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

ie finansiële direkteur, me Ann Nel onthou haar heel eerste werkdag 38 jaar gelede op 1 April 1975 nog goed toe sy stiptelik om 07:00 by NTY Staalwerke opgedaag het. Die eerste boekhouer, me Liesbet Coetzee het vir haar ‘n pos by die firma gereël omdat die werk te veel geraak het. Baie het sedertdien verander. “In die begin het ons in klein kantore gewerk en die verkoopskantoor was buite die fabriek. Kliënte moes by die verkoopskantoor aankope doen en in ‘n ander kantoor betaal. Die kantore is later vergroot en ‘n ekstra verdieping is aangebou. “Tans is al die kantore in een groot gebou

wat administrasie aansienlik vergemaklik,” het Nel verduidelik. Nel het drie jaar as ‘n debiteureklerk gewerk. Die finansiële administrasie is destyds deur NTY se ouditeure gedoen. Die ontvangsdame het kort daarna bedank en Nel is gevra om beide die ontvangspos asook die debiteure te behartig. Tussendeur het sy ook die boekhouer met haar take gehelp en geleer hoe die boekhoustelsel funksioneer. “Dit was vir my ‘n goeie leerskool aangesien ek nie rekeningkunde op skool gehad het nie, maar darem wiskunde. Sedert Augustus 1985 behartig ek die boekhouding by die firma. “In 1999 is ek as finansiële direkteur aangestel wat die hoogtepunt van my loopbaan by NTY tot dusver is,” het Nel vertel. “Personeel het oor die jare gekom en gegaan, maar NTY het stelselmatig gegroei tot meer as 100 personeellede. Met die insinking in die boubedryf verlede jaar, was ons egter genood saak om weer personeel te verminder, maar baie kom weer terug omdat die werkomstandighede so uniek is,” het Nel gesê. In 1986 het NTY saam met ander staalvensterfabrieke begin om vensterstaal gesamentlik by die destydse Yskor aan te koop wat so

uitgebrei het dat NTY ‘n pakhuis in Pretoria aangeskaf het waarvandaan die staal versprei en verkoop word. “NTY verkoop tans jaarliks meer as 10 000 ton vensterseksies aan verskeie fabrieke dwarsoor die land en die staalverkope dra die onderneming deur moeilike ekonomiese tye in die vervaardigingsbedryf.” Nel is veronderstel om oor vyf jaar met pensioen af te tree, maar wil graag die vierde geslag in die Hough-familie beleef. NTY het onlangs ‘n industriële erf in Pretoria gekoop om in ‘n pakhuis te omskep. Sy wil graag sien dat dit suksesvol afgehandel is voor sy aftree. Sy wil steeds besig bly na aftrede. “Naas my familie is handwerk my passie. Ek hou my besig met kwiltwerk, hekel, brei en borduurwerk. Ek het verlede jaar ‘n kwiltwinkel geopen wat my besig sal hou. My gesin en vriende ondersteun my ongelooflik. Sonder hulle sou ek niks in my lewe bereik het nie,” sê Nel. “ Ek dank die Hemelse Vader wat my die wonderlike voorreg gegun het om my lewe te deel met familie, vriende en medepersoneel wat vir mekaar omgee en help. Dit is vir my belangriker as wat geld ooit kan koop,” sê NTY se “ma.”

Meet the man who keeps production rolling at NTY Steel Works WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com It takes a special person to keep a steady hand and a cool head in the extremely tough steel manufacturing sector. Production Manager of NTY Staalwerke, Mr Eric Wiggill fits the bill perfectly. Upon meeting the man that makes sure production at the company operates smoothly for the first time, you can clearly see that Wiggill feels at home with the whine of machinery and sparks from welding equipment flying around him. He exudes confidence and comes across as a man of steel with his stocky build and air of steely determination. Wiggill commenced duties at NTY Staalwerke way back on 13 January 1986 when Mr Piet Quin was still the manager. He started as a setter before moving on to the French door department where he worked for five years. He recalls that the premises were much smaller than the present and consisted of a couple of corrugated iron offices and the main factory where production took place. After working in the French door department for approximately five years, Wiggill moved on to the outside service department where he worked for another six years before applying for the position of foreman at the door

section. He served as foreman for another five years before the position as floor manager became available nearly nine years ago. Wiggill has gone on to serve NTY Staalwerke with distinction through the good times and the slump in the steel manufacturing sector that started with the international economic meltdown towards the end of 2008. The position of floor manager at NTY comes with a huge responsibility and lots of expectations. The job entails managing all job cards from the beginning to the final product. This includes all doors, windows, gates specialised welding and the outdoor service department. Wiggill has to ensure all departments have the necessary material to complete the job, make sure production flows smoothly and efficiently, and is in charge of between 80 to 100 personnel. His day starts at 06:00 sharp when he opens the factory and gets everything ready before the rest of the production team arrives by 07:00. His average working day is approximately 10 to 12 hours and sometimes longer if the factory is working overtime or a breakdown occurs with a service vehicle in the field. He jokingly says the long working hours initially caused friction at home, but he still remains happily married to his wife, Camille. The couple have two grown up children, a son Danny, who resides in

Mr Eric Wiggill, Production Manager at NTY Staalwerke has 27 years of experience at the company.

Nelspruit and a daughter Andrea, who is a teacher at Northern Academy. Wiggill is extremely proud of the quality and longevity of all the products manufactured at NTY. “We intend being around for another fifty years so we take great pride in manufacturing the best quality steel products in Limpopo. NTY also prides itself on delivering a fast and superior service,” Wiggill proudly says. With almost 28 years of service at the company, Wiggill explains that it is almost unimaginable for him to work anywhere else. He is extremely happy working under his present boss, Mr Anton Hough and the great family atmosphere that exists within the company. He declares that he has no plans of retiring any time soon and would want to be present at the company’s 60th birthday celebrations. Wiggill is sure to keep the high standard of production rolling out at NTY Staalwerke for many years to come.

sê Hough. Met sy kernsakebeginsels van integriteit, konsekwentheid en uitmuntende dienslewering is die besigheid wat op 24 Julie 2013 hul 50ste bestaansjaar gevier het in goeie hande. Hy het op 27 September 1999 die leisels van oom Piet Quin oorgeneem wat die be stuurder was. Sy pa, mnr Danie Hough, oudad ministrateur-generaal in die vorige SuidwesAfrika, nou Namibië, is op 11 Mei 2008 oorlede en die Danie Hough Kultuursentrum by die Polokwane Munisipaliteit is na hom vernoem. Hough (Anton) het in 1992 by NTY begin werk, kort nadat hy sy BSC-graad in boukunde aan die Universiteit van Pretoria voltooi het. Hy verstaan die staalvervaardigingsbedryf goed en neem ingeligte besluite oor die toekoms van die besigheid. “Jy moet weet dat die ekonomie in siklusse beweeg en voorsiening maak vir die slegte tye terwyl dit goed gaan,” sê Hough. NTY se missie is om hoë kwaliteitprodukte met uitmuntende diens teen markverwante pryse aan kliënte te verskaf. Die fabriek bestaan uit drie afdelings: die venster raamafdeling, deurraamafdeling en die veilig heidshekafdeling. Die spesiale dienseenheid en vervaardiging van trap- en handrelingsafdeling groei ook vinnig. “Al die krediet van NTY se sukses oor die afgelope jare moet aan mnr Piet Quin, die vorige bestuurder gaan. Ek het die bedryf met sy hulp leer ken. Ons het lojale werkers, uitstekende voormanne en toesighouers.” het Hough gesê. Die toekoms vir NTY lyk volgens hom be lowend met die provinsiale regering wat meer in behuising en die uitbreiding van infrastruk tuur bestee. Die grootste bedreiging vir die onderneming is die beplanning van die nuwe “Groen Wet” wat moontlik ‘n groot impak op die vervaardiging van staalvensterrame in die toekoms kan hê. Laastens het Hough spesiale dank aan al hulle gewaardeerde kliënte uitgespreek, die NTY personeel en in besonder die finansiële direkteur, me Ann Nel en vloerbestuurder, mr Eric Wiggill, me Cheray Jackson van Blerk (CJ Marketing and Promotions) wat hul 50ste verjaarsdagvieringe gereël het en Ouma Lien Grimm.

Microsoft launches broadband pilot projects RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

ollowing the recent signing of a partnership between Microsoft South Africa and Limpopo Economic Development Agency (Leda) to develop information and communication technology (ICT) skills in the province, Microsoft last weekend launched a pilot project at the University of Limpopo that aims to deliver high-speed and affordable broadband to underserved communities using so-called white spaces technology. The focus of the project will be to prove that TV white spaces (unused frequencies of television bands) can be used to meet the South African government’s goals of providing low-cost access for a majority of South Africans by 2020. The project is a joint effort between Microsoft, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the University of Limpopo (UL) and local network builder Multisource. It will use TV white spaces and solar-powered base stations to provide low-cost wireless

broadband access to five secondary schools in remote parts of Limpopo. The project will use the UL as a hub for a white space network deployment that will provide nearby schools in local communities with wireless connectivity. The project will also provide each of the five schools with Windows tablets, projectors, teacher laptops and training, education-related content, solar panels for device charging where there is no access to electricity, and other support. Microsoft South Africa Managing Director, Mr Mteto Nyati launched the project and said it was initiated as part of Microsoft’s 4Afrika Initiative which aims to provide access, skills development and innovation opportunities to young people and entrepreneurs across the continent. He is quoted to have said in a recent press release that: “Technology holds enormous potential for many aspects of development, but is particularly key to areas like education and healthcare. Broadband Internet access is therefore crucial to giving learners the 21st century skills they need to find jobs and participate in the economy.

Child labour remains a scourge HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Persons who employ children under the age of 15 may be prosecuted and sentenced to a minimum of one to a maximum of three years in prison. This according to Department of labour Spokesperson, Mr Johannes Mokou who responded to an inquiry by Polokwane Observer in the light of World Day against Child Labour being observed today (Thursday). “This is in terms of section 43 (1) of Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), no person may employ a child who is under 15 years of age or who is under the minimum school leaving age in terms of any law. If such a person is found guilty, he or she may be sentenced to a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 3 years in prison, in terms of section 43 and 44 of BCEA,” Mokou said. “We are confronted with the worst forms of child labour including slavery, sexual exploitation, hazardous work and using children to commit crime and these are quite rife in industries such as farming, manufacturing, wholesale and retail as well as construction. We cannot continue like that,” Mokou said about the matter in South Africa. Last year a Survey of Activities of Young People (SAYP) from Statistics South Africa revealed that the country still has issues to address in respect of child labour. For example, levels of engagement in non-market economic work, particularly in fetching wood and water remain high.

The SAYP also indicated that an estimated South African 821 000 children living in deep rural areas and on commercial farms are more badly affected than those in other areas. Regarding ways to curb the scourge, Mokou said during any form of inspections conducted the inspectorate scans the area to check the possibilities of child labour, especially in the manufacturing, farming and construction sectors and take appropriate action if such cases are found. “However, we are on course to eradicate the worst forms of child labour by 2016 as we continue to strengthen legislation to address this scourge, raise awareness, train shop stewards and develop materials carrying messages about child labour. Together with our social partners we are trying to find a significant expansion of measures to relieve household poverty because we have realised that it is the main driver of child labour,” Mokou said. The national Department of Labour, joined by its provincial counterparts, will host National Day against Child Labour today (Thursday) at Badplaas Forever Resort in Mpumalanga. According to the website of the International Labour Organisation An estimated 10,5 million children worldwide, most of whom are underage, work as domestic workers in people’s homes, under hazardous conditions in factories and often in slavery-like conditions The website also states: “ Six and a half million of these child labourers are aged between five and 14 years-old. More than 71% are girls.”.

“However, affordability remains a formidable barrier to broadband access in many parts of South Africa. Reducing the cost of broadband access will mean millions more South Africans will get online. This will create new opportunities for education, healthcare, commerce and the delivery of government services across the country.” Microsoft white space projects in Kenya and Tanzania have proven that white space technology is a viable solution for high-speed access in rural areas, even those not attached to the national power grid. Science and Technology Minister, Mr Derek Hanekom in the same press statement i s quoted to have welcomed the launch of the programme saying global experience showed that access to broadband networks could provide greater economic development and education opportunities in rural areas. “We see a truly connected future in which all of South Africa’s major cities, towns and villages will be connected to affordable internet, thereby facilitating the country’s mass entry into the knowledge and information economy,” the statement read.

As South Africans, our celebrations of Women’s Month are characterised by the diverse cultures and traditions embodied by our nation. It is however the memory of the thousands of women who in 1956 marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria in protest of the apartheid regime’s pass laws limiting their freedom of movement that inspires many of these celebrations. Because of those women that all South Africans are treated equally and that women in our country can live and work freely in the same environment as men.

ow, Oooooh and Aaaaah! That was how four members of Polokwane Observer’s editorial team responded from the minute they got into the Chrysler 300C last week to carry out an assignment to explore the city’s expanding industrial areas. With the generosity of Mercurius Motors the team travelled in style while taking photos of businesses in the Magna Via area and simultaneously experiencing the luxury offered by the Chrysler. What impressed journalist, Mariëtte Snyder the most was the heated back seats that will come to good use in the cold winter months. Editor Yolande Nel immediately lowered the sun visor to investigate the well lit mirror, a handy accessory when applying make-up. Journalist, Herbert Rachuene was impressed with the overall look of the vehicle’s interior and the abundant space it offers. Behind the wheel I experienced every feature of the Chrysler and quality of the interior is non-negotiable. Every detail is designed to steer you towards refinement. Premium finishes and soft-touch materials give dramatic depth to every surface. Innovative technology flourishes throughout the cabin and keeps you connected and comfortable. Almost everything is controlled from a U-Connect touch screen. It is a hub for media such as a cell phone, navigation system, MP3 player and smart phone. One can also access climate and radio controls, heated seats and power convenience features though this display. The exterior is bulky and the tailored finish of the iconic grille, LED headlamps and tail lamps give the Chrysler a look unlike any other. I was most impressed by the performance of the 3,0 litre V6 under the hood. It delivers 177 kW of torque and 550 Nm at 1 600 to 2 800 rpm. The engine features efficiencies that utilise a highly pressurised fuel rail connected to piezoelectric injectors that helps fuel burn more completely. A turbocharger helps reduce fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and engine noise. A five speed transmission which allows manual or automatic gear selection for smooth shifts is matched to the diesel engine. The Chrysler 300C is available at Mercurius Motors at R579 990.

Three top contenders announced in Transformed Challenge RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com The first ever Transformed Challenge at Body Life Health Club is gaining momentum with the recent announcement of the current top three contenders. This exclusive challenge, initiated by Body Life Health Club owner, David van Ryneveld, commenced in March when entries to the challenge opened. “I launched this challenge to motivate people to improve on their health. The challenge is set to determine which contender can show the most improvement on his physical appearance, general fitness and health over a period of six months,” Van Ryneveld said. In general such challenges run for a period of three months but what makes Body Life’s challenge different is that this challenge runs for six months. In this case there is an added responsibility for the contender not only to achieve, but also to maintain the results. “Permanent habits are not necessarily established within a three month term, and often we see the typical yo-yo dieting or quick fix results over a shorter term. However over a period of six months, new habits are firmly established and the successful contender is well on his or her way to leading a permanently healthier lifestyle. Healthy habits result in a healthy lifestyle. It’s as simple as that,” Van Ryneveld said. From the 116 entries received Koos Grimbeek, Petronella Ballantyne and Ronel van der Hof are the current favourites to win the R35 000 grand prize. They still have three months to go and a lot can happen in this time. Thus far Grimbeek has lost 19 kg, Ballantyne 19,5 kg and Van der Hof 30 kg, 20 of which within the term of the challenge. Elzet Benade, a personal trainer at Body Life is permanently involved with the contenders helping to motivate them and providing them with much needed nutrition and training advice. Van Ryneveld said Benade also advises contenders on how to continue improving and warns them on challenges typically encountered during such contests, as well as how to overcome bad habits. “The more accurate information a contender has the easier he can make choices to stay stronger in the competition.” The biggest motivation is definitely the change in body weight and improved health. “There are many gimmicks in our industry, and the standard of trainers throughout the industry remains a problem. Many people have lost hope and motivation due to previous disappointing experiences. At Body Life we strive towards providing the correct advice and our dedicated and professional team is a definite motivation for contenders,” Van Ryneveld said.

ark Boucher, former Protea cricketer and record holder for the most test dismissals by a wicket-keeper, attended the Charles Glass evening hosted by the Rotary Club of Pietersburg 100 in partnership with the South African Breweries at Bolivia Lodge on Thursday. Guests were also treated to entertainment by Karen Ferreira who saw to it that the rhythm of the event did not skip a beat. An auction held during the evening saw guests bidding on a variety of items including a painting of a rhino, the late Hansie Cronjé’s autograph and framed United Cricket Board cap, Boucher’s autographed jersey and other memorabilia.

The R150 000 earned through the event will go towards a rhino project initiated by Boucher as well as the Rotary club’s corporate social investment projects, including equipping boreholes in the rural surrounds of Mokopane and Groblersdal.

Caution can eliminate remorse F

inancial consultants have always advocated investing a significant portion of their clients’ portfolio in property, but recently certain commentators in South Africa have been advising people to stay away from property assets. Mr Tony Clarke, Managing Director of the Rawson Property Group, believes those who have come out so firmly against property as an asset class have in some cases invested unwisely in property and are now damning the whole sector on account of their own mistakes. In a recent press release he said that many others who did their research before buying are happy with their purchases and are definitely not suffering from buyer’s remorse. “When buying a residential property, it is

essential to understand the growth potential for the home and the area. If the area is showing signs of being incorporated into the urban sprawl and of becoming a higher-density, higher-demand precinct, obviously values will increase. On the other hand, certain areas clearly have no prospect of economic growth and prices will not take off in the foreseeable future,” he said. The position of the property in its area is important. Homes with a view tend to appreciate faster than those in less attractive positions, and those within walking distance of public transport are always particularly sought after, especially in the cheaper suburbs. Clarke said one of the big mistakes buyers

make is not to check the municipality’s plans for the area. “It is not difficult to see when an area is taking off, but once that does happen, many single-storey homes may be given second storeys, which could spoil a view for neighbours, block out sunlight and reduce privacy. Some may even be demolished to make way for three- or four-storey blocks, which, if not sensibly handled, can also impinge on the surrounding homes’ security and privacy.” Quite often buyers decide property is a good investment, but then in their determination to get the property will allow themselves to be talked into offering a price that is well above what the market justifies. According to Clarke it is also dangerous to make an offer to

buy after only one visit. In most cases two or even three visits are essential and these are valuable because they allow buyer enthusiasm to cool off. It is also dangerous to be influenced by one or two favourable features for example granite tops or under-floor heating. Although beneficial this may be offset by less satisfactory aspects which should certainly be taken into account. “Those who react too emotionally are likely to buy the first or second home they see. They then discover later that better options were available not far away and they would have done a better deal. Many purchases can be more viable if buyers get low interest rates on their mortgage bonds. Today buyers often grateful to be awarded bonds, frequently don’t take the trouble to see if they can get better terms elsewhere.” They need to bear in mind that banks are in competition with each other and if their credit credentials are good the banks should be offering competitive terms. Having bought the property, many investors fail to observe another golden rule, which is to increase the equity in the property as fast as possible by paying back the bond each month at above the agreed rate. “The technicalities of any building that is about to be bought should be carefully checked by a structural engineer or an architect. Building inspectors can also provide a useful service, but there are few with comprehensive knowledge of structures, electrics, plumbing, gas installations, waterproofing and security measures,” he said.

Groot opwinding met lentekarnaval te wagte

HOUSE OF THE WEEK

SILVERKRUIN R1 680 000 + R1 400 000 SOLE MANDATE ON SHOW!!! DUETS

MARIËTTE SNYDER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com Die jaarlikse Limpopo Lentekarnaval vind weer vanjaar op die Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé se sportterrein plaas en die pret skop al vroeg op 28 September af. Behalwe vir die propvol program met onder meer ‘n bergfietsrit, perdepretrit, sterkmanvertoning, braai- en potjiekoskompetisie is daar hope uitstallers wat vir ‘n heerlike vlooimarkatmosfeer gaan sorg terwyl rugbyliefhebbers die kragmeting tussen SuidAfrika en Australië by die kuiertent kan geniet. Bergfietsryers kan vir die opwindende wedrenne oor 22 km en 42 km inskryf. Vir die jongspan is daar ‘n gratis 1.5 km-pretrit vir kinders van 9 jaar en jonger. Die interessante roete strek oor perde-, bees- en wildsplase. Deelnemers kan by Cyclelab, Thornhill Shopping Centre teen R100 vir die 22 km en R150 vir die 42 km inskryf. ‘n Perdepretrit waaraan almal kan deelneem is nuut op die program met dieselfde roete en afstand as die fietsryers. Deelnemers van 13 jaar en jonger moet van ‘n volwasse ruiter vergesel word. Hoewel dit nie ‘n kompetisierit is nie, sal daar steeds gelukkige trekkings wees. Inskrywings kan reeds op 27 September vanaf 14:00 op die terrein gedoen word of voor die rit op 28 September en kos R50 per ruiter. ‘n Pretloop gaan terselfdertyd gehou word teen R30 vir volwassenes wat toegang vir die dag insluit. Almal wat die wedloop voltooi kry ‘n medalje. Die bondelsport het verlede jaar vir groot opwinding en pret gesorg.

Spanne bestaan uit ses lede elk (drie mans en drie vroue) wat hardloop met ‘n paal, kruiwastoot, skaapdra, buitebandrol, sokkerbaldribbel en sakresies insluit. Inskrywingsgeld is R600 per span met groot pryse op die spel. Die sterkmanvertoning moet ook nie misgeloop word nie.

Laaste kans om jou dorp te gradeer Die burgerregte organisasie, AfriForum het ‘n finale beroep gedoen om deel te neem aan die Gradeer jou Dorp-veldtog. In ‘n onlangse persverklaring van AfriForum sê mnr Ivan Herselman, bestuurder: gemeenskapsportefeuljes die doel van dié veldtog is om owerhede in kennis te stel wat gemeenskappe se persepsie van dienslewering is. Sodoende weet hulle wat die omvang van die probleme op plaaslike regeringsvlak is sodat AfriForum ondersoek kan instel om probleme die hoof te bied. “Ons het goeie terugvoer van die publiek ontvang, maar daar is nog baie dorpe waar ons min of geen terugvoer ontvang het nie. Dit verhinder ons om die omvang van die diensleweringsprobleme te kan bepaal.” Om aan die veldtog deel te neem, kan persone ’n kort elektroniese meningsopname op www.gradeerjoudorp.co.za aflaai, invul en aan gradeerjoudorp@afriforum.co.za terugstuur. Die sluitingsdatum is Woensdag, 7 Augustus waarna AfriForum die data sal bekendmaak.

or the seventh consecutive year Limpopo’s wine lovers had the opportunity to enjoy the best of the best wines when First National Bank Private Clients hosted this year’s FNB Limpopo Wine Show at Meropa Casino & Entertainment world last week. Big names in the industry and awardwinning cellars such as Quoin Rock, Vrede en Lust, Raka, Cape Point Vineyards, Ataraxia, Clos Malverne and Spier made sure the hall was packed with the best wines in the country. As an added luxury top Cape campaigns was enjoyed by many and true to its huge growth in the industry, the Rosé did not disappoint. Styles ranged from the light, refreshing, off-dry any time drinks to lunchtime wines which are almost red wines, refined, sophisticated non-showy and perfectly designed for warm climate consumption. Wine tasters could also enjoy some of the world’s best brandy when a limited selection of top quality pot-distilled brandy, with the true treasures at the Oude Molen stand wowed the visitors.

Six lucky couples were treated when the organisers hosted a reader’s competition. One of these winners, Ms Eve Steven said she is very impressed by the service she received and said she will definitely be first on the guest list for next year’s show. Ms Chantal Bezuidenhout from Creation Wines said the Limpopo Wine Show is her favourite because the people visiting the show know their wines. “What can be nicer that enjoying a glass of wine with someone who knows what they want,” said Bezuidenhout. The show was successfully hosted by wine authority Michael Fridjhon and OutSorceress Marketing and hundreds of guests approved of the way the prestigious array of Cape producers and award-winning wines was presented.

Ms Chantal Bezuidenhout from Creation Wines was one of the many exhibitors during the FNB Limpopo Wine Show.

“Tall Horse is the best wine in the country,” said Mr Mbhekiseni Msibi who proudly presented the label.

Useful dos and don’ts of saving money In the midst of Savings Month it is probably a good idea to get your head around some useful savings tips to save towards any goals you may want to realise. Start by writing down a list of goals for the next year, 5 years and 20 years. Decide how you want to live your life and picture the end result. For example, in 5 years’ time you want to have saved enough to put down a deposit on an apartment or upgrade to a bigger home for a growing family. Perhaps in 20 years you may like to own a property at the coast. But today is the day to start making any of these dreams happen - with a simple decision to save towards a goal. Here are some dos and don’ts from Aneesa Razack, Head of Strategic Growth at FNB Investment Products, who has the following tips on saving money: Do Don’t Understand your financial situation Don’t ignore your debt It’s vital to understand your financial position before you If you have bills to pay, make sure you start paying them consider going forward.

y lyk na ‘n stil en beskeie graad 11leerder, maar as jy vir Reon van der Merwe (16) ‘n halwe kans gee om te praat, moet jy hom stop as jy iets te sê het want hy kán praat en woorde borrel gladweg uit sy mond. “Dit is ‘n eer en voorreg om tot die skool se geskiedenis by te dra. Ek het dit nie verwag nie en is trots om op hierdie manier my kant vir die skool te bring,” sê Reon wat onlangs na die Afrikaanse Taal- en Kultuurvereniging (ATKV) se Nasionale Redenaarskompetisie-finaal op 16 Augustus in Hartenbos deurgedring het. Hy is die eerste leerder in die afgelope 24 jaar in die Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé se geskiedenis wat dit kon regkry. In graad 9 het hy aan redenaarskompetisies begin deelneem, maar uitgeval in die uitdunrondtes. Vanjaar het hy besluit om

Reon maak geskiedenis met sy gladde mond weer te probeer en onverwags na die finaal deurgedring. Die kompetisie bestaan net uit ‘n onvoorbereide toespraak waarvoor hy drie uur voorbereidingstyd en tussen vyf en sewe minute lewertyd het. “Wat ek die meeste van redenaars geniet is die tegnieke wat ‘n mens aanleer om voor ’n gehoor te praat. In die begin het dit maar moeilik gegaan. Ek het begin sweet, my gesig het bloedrooi geword en wanneer ek my woorde vergeet het, het ek op na die dak bly kyk. As ek nou by die podium staan dan voel ek hoe al die spanning uit my lyf vloei en ek begin net praat.” Na skool wil Reon graag vir ‘n BA-graad in filosofie, politiek en ekonomie aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosh inskryf. “Dit is ‘n goeie

rigting wat oneindige geleenthede bied.” Benewens sy erekleure in redenaars is hy deel van die skool se toneelgroep en neem aan die Rotariërklub se Junior Ambassadorial Competition (RoJack)-kompetisie en gereelde ekspo’s deel. Boonop was hy in graad 9 onder die top 10 akademiese leerders, het dit in graad 10 net-net gemis maar is vasberade om vanjaar weer die prestasie te bereik. Tommies se kultuurhoof, me Vanessa Kachelhoffer sê Reon het rede om breëbors te wees. “Hy het geskiedenis gemaak. Sedert ek 24 jaar gelede by die skool aangesluit het, was daar nog nooit ‘n Tommie wat so goed in redenaarskompetisies presteer het nie,” sê sy. Sy het ook haar dank teenoor Volkswagen Polokwane uitgespreek wat Reon se vliegtuigkaartjie Hartenbos toe borg.

The many spectators also witnessed some spectacular spills as the drivers tried to negotiate the extremely difficult obstacles at the track. The recovery vehicle was called in on many occasions to extricate some of the 4x4’s that found themselves upside-down or on their sides after failing to come to terms with some of the difficult sections. Organiser, Johann Spies said the technical aspect of Saturday’s meeting was tough and the drivers had to make quick decisions or face the prospect of getting stuck. The best local driver was Pieter Landman, who finished second in the open class.

It is not often that a father and son team enters a golf tournament but making it to the podium makes it even more noteworthy. Raoul van Zyl Snr and Raoul van Zyl Jnr recently did just that when finished third out of 104 players in the Bidvest Food Services Better Ball Stableford at the Polokwane Golf Club last Saturday.

Baroka promoted to National First Division HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Baroka FC will start a new life in the National First Division (NFD) in August following their promotion to the second division of South African football. The Ga- Mphahlele outfit beat Maluti FET College 2-1 in the finals of the Second Division Playoffs at Makhulong Stadium in Tembisa on Sunday to attain NFD status. Last year the 2011 Nedbank semi-finalist missed the opportunity to play in the NFD after they were knocked out in the playoffs by Roses United. Baroka Head Coach, Sello Chokoe said he was happy with the victory and relieved after their missed on the promotion last year. “I think last year was not our time, because we qualified for the playoffs since 2011 and its either we are knocked out in the finals or at the group stages. I am glad we won the tournament and I think participating in big

tournaments like Nedbank Cup helped us a lot. We have retained half of those players that beat Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows in the 2011 Nedbank Cup and I think their experience helped us a lot,” Chokoe said. Player and Top Goalscorer of the tournament Khunadi Nkoana played an instrumental role in ensuring that the team gets promoted NFD. He said he was happy to be part of the team’s success. “I was little bit emotional because I never I thought would play again after I sustained a horrific injury in 2011 that kept me out soccer for a while. I had lot offers from big teams in the country and I wanted to sign with them, but because of the injury I could not. The coach told come back to the team after I recovered. It was easy decision because I wanted to play in the Premier Soccer League. I had to swallow my pride and revive my career and I am glad I had a good tournament,” Nkoana said.

The Rookies did not hold back on their performance with three local drivers taking up the first three positions. Tiaan Badenhorst finished in third place.

Roedie, Lucius, Martin en Christine was deel van die SA-kadetstoeispan wat in Amerika deelgeneem het. Hulle afrigter, Jan Roets sê dit sal ‘n groot uitdaging vir die hele span wees om met ‘n medalje terug te keer na Suid-Afrika. “Om teen die beste stoeiers in die wêreld te kan mee-ding bly altyd ‘n droom.

LAND ROVER WINTER SALE

wisselslag- en wisselaflos-items maar erken haar swak punt is borsslag. “By die Sasol-byeenkoms het ek vir die eerste keer 800 meter geswem.” Tans is al die swemmers by die swemakademie besig om hard te oefen vir die Suid-Afrika Kortbad Kampioenskappe wat van 15 tot 18 Augustus in Johannesburg plaasvind. Sulé het begin swem toe sy 11-jaar oud was en haar eerste kompetisie was in graad 7. Na haar uitstekende prestasies by die Winter Kampioenskappe hoop die presteerder om deel van die SuidAfrikaanse Junior Swemspan vir die 2014 Junior Olimpiese Spele te wees. Haar tye moet met vyf sekondes in die vlinderslag en met sewe sekondes in die rugslag verbeter om te kwalifiseer. Sy is positief dat sy met die hulp van haar afrigters haar mikpunt teen die einde van die jaar sal bereik. Esterhuizen sê Sulé het natuurlike swemtalent. As sy hard oefen en die advies van haar afrigters volg, kan sy haar doelwit bereik. Haar grootste ondersteuners is haar ouers, Leon en Suzzette en haar jonger suster, Chene wat ook onlangs ernstig begin swem het. Sulé se gunstelingswemmer is Michael Phelps en sy hoop om eendag ook vir ‘n swembeurs in Amerika te kwalifiseer. “Voordat dit kan gebeur sal my Engels heelwat moet verbeter,” skerts die uitblinker in die swembad waarvan Polokwane nog heelwat gaan hoor.
