Horror against kids continue amid intensified activism

urder, rape, mutilation and molesting of children continue unabated amid continuous activism for the safety of minors. In one of the most recent cases a man was arrested this week for allegedly raping his one-monthold baby and her two-year-old sister in Thohoyandou. Equally shocking is the news of a man who allegedly hacked to death his wife and baby daughter in Giyani about a month ago. The horrific act indicates the trend that in the case of violence against spouses children are often also the victims. While local individuals take to heart the call for creating awareness on acts against children, the annual National

URGENT ESTATE SALE! 8.5Ha Plot

Children’s Day commemoration on Saturday seemed to have little effect on perpetrators. The campaign marking the 16 days of activism against the abuse of women and children will be supported nationwide again this month focussing on the rights of children. According to the SAPS crime statistics of 2009 and 2010 there were nationally 56 539 crimes committed against children in comparison to the 49 550 committed in 2012 and 2013 which shows a decrease of 12,4%. Reports compiled by the trade union Solidarity shows that one child is raped in South Africa every three minutes and according to To page 2

R8 billion required for roads backlog >> Backlog attributed to various factors that include legacy seemingly left by roads agency >> Department of Roads and Transport expected to embark on first of six projects aimed at upgrading stretches of road in different locations YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com A whopping R8 billion will be required to clear Limpopo’s roads infrastructure backlog dating back to 2005, which is being attributed to various factors that include a legacy seemingly left by Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL). The massive backlog is embodied in a 34 project-plan up for implementation. From this month onwards the Department of Roads and Transport is expected to embark on the first of six projects aimed at upgrading stretches of road in different locations across the province. The roll-out of projects, shelved due to a host of factors such as an over-committed 2011/12 RAL budget, was commencing in the beginning of this month, said Mr Matamela Matanga who is Senior Manager in the office of Roads and Transport MEC Lehlogonolo Masoga.

‘Don’t look away, abuse is real’ From page 1 Solidarity Helping Hand more than 88% of rapes are never reported. Ms Priscilla Mulaudzi, Director of Childline Limpopo said raping, murdering and abusing children is a worrisome reality. “Don’t look away, abuse is real. Act now,” she urged. She added that these criminals strip children of their rights and hinder the development of healthy individuals. “We must actively take part in developing, supporting and growing our children for tomorrow. We must

invest in the future of our children who are tomorrow’s leaders,” she said. The Minister for Women, Children and People with disabilities, Ms Lulu Xingwana, expressed shock and utter disappointment with regard to the latest incident of the rape of a one-month-old baby and a two-year-old girl by their father in Thohoyandou. “On Saturday, 2 November 2013, South Africa celebrated National Children’s Day. It is sad that we celebrated this day against the backdrop of increases in abuse, violence, brutal murders and rapes of our children. In the past few weeks we have recorded cases of children dying at the hands of their parents through poisoning, violent assaults, brutal murders and also at the hands of their teachers. Something somewhere is indeed wrong with our society, that our children are not protected by the people they trust the most. As communities we have to reflect and identify causes that lead to these heinous crimes and prevention strategies to stop these atrocities from happening.”

More fraud allegations against travel agent KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com

ore fraud allegations have streamed in pointing angry fingers at a local travel agent and her husband who are currently under investigation for allegedly swindling various foreign nationals out of their money. This follows Polokwane Observer’s report last week stating that various foreign nationals have paid monies over to the alleged fraudster who in turn never paid the monies over to the airlines responsible for the release of the tickets. Allegations have been rearing their heads from as far as the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Gauteng and Kwazulu-Natal with promises of more

angry clients soon to be received. According to one of the sources who claims to have been caught by what he calls bogus promises and transactions says that after counting up the amounts owed to all the clients he is corresponding with, it amounts to well over R600 000. “In one of the emails between her and me she states vehemently that the complainants have no choice but to wait for their money as she has now requested legal advice from her attorney who will be handling all the claims on her behalf, nowhere in the emails does she deny owing us money.” These emails are in the possession of Polokwane Observer. Another complainant alleges that he paid for over 100 tickets and till this day has not received any form of

refund from the accused. According to Col Ronel Otto, spokesperson for the Limpopo Police the cases are still under investigation by the Commercial Crime Unit and if any complainants have not yet made official statements with the Police they should do so, to help the Police garner as much information regarding the case as possible. The legal representative for the travel agent, Mr Hans Mamabolo, has been instructed to commence with legal action against all the allegers who are in his opinion defaming his client. “On record she has denied all the allegations and if her name or details that can identify her are published legal action will also be taken against the Polokwane Observer,” Mamabolo said.

Cassel’s wife’s mining fraud case postponed >> ‘Our job is not politically motivated’ >> If guilty accused can face R5m fine or imprisonment MPHO DUBE >>mphodube.observer@gmail.com The case of fraud and illegal mining against former First Lady of Limpopo, Ms Mokgadi Mathale and her co-accused has been postponed to 9 December this year. At the time of going to press Hawks Spokesperson, Mr Paul Ramaloko confirmed that Mathale had appeared with Ms Helen Moreroa, wife of prominent businessperson Selby Manthata and two other eminent businesspersons, Messrs Matome Maponya and Simon Sekgobela in the Maake Magistrate’s Court in Lenyenye on charges of fraud and illegal mining on Monday. Ramaloko said the suspects are all directors of Blue Platinum Venture 16, trading as Batlhanine Brick Yard and owned by Kgohloane (Mathale)

in Ga-Rakoma outside Tzaneen. According to Ramaloko the company was closed by the Department of Mineral Resources. The four appeared in court briefly after being charged with contravening the Environment Management Act which allegedly resulted in acts of fraud and corruption. They were all arrested in August and the case was postponed to 4 November. He also said a whistle blower informed the Hawks that Batlhanine Brick Yard was operat-

ing with an expired license and without a permitted environmental plan. “The Hawks aren’t targeting anybody and our job is not politically motivated. They were all arrested in August on charges of fraud and illegal mining,” Ramaloko said. According to Ramaloko, if the accused are found guilty of illegal mining they could face a possible R5 million fine or 10 years’ imprisonment.

erpleegpersoneel het glo vir ‘n vrou ‘n bedpan op die grond van ‘n vuil kamer neergesit toe sy ‘n urinemonster moes verskaf. Me Niens Paulsen van Dendron vertel dat sy vir ure saam met honderde mense by die Helen Franz Hospitaal in Senwabarwana gesit en wag het om behandeling te kry en dat die personeel nie aandag aan hulle skenk nie. “Die verpleegsters is heeldag op hul selfone en ignoreer opsetlik die pasiënte. Daar is net een bloeddrukmasjien beskikbaar daarom het ek my

eie bloeddrukapparaat saamgeneem. Uit ondervinding weet ek dat hulle ‘n tekort het. Die bedpan is vir my op die vuil vloer neergesit en ek is aangesê om die urienmonster te verskaf,” vertel sy. Paulsen sê ook sy ly aan hoë bloeddruk en het vir die afgelope ses maande nie medikasie van die hospitaal ontvang nie omdat hul dit nie in voorraad het nie. Me Adele van der Linde, woordvoerder van die departement van gesondheid sê hulle neem kennis van die klagte. Sy sê sy het persoonlik met Paulsen in verbinding getree om presies vas te stel waar sy te na gekom

is en hoe hulle haar kan help. Volgens haar is daar nie ‘n tekort aan medikasie in die hospitaal nie en sy meen Paulsen het moontlik ‘n generiese alternatief ontvang. Sy bedank Paulsen dat sy die probleem onder hul aandag gebring het en beklemtoon dat hul geen verdraagsaamheid vir onhigiëniese hospitale het nie. “Die probleem sal aangespreek word en ‘n oplossing moet gevind word.” Oor die bedpan wat Paulsen moes gebruik om ‘n urinemonster te voorsien, sê Van der Linde dat sy eersdaags die hospitaal sal besoek om eerstehands uit te vind wat gebeur het.

School falls prey to robbers KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com Swift reaction from the Limpopo Police ensured the arrest of the three suspects who robbed the ATM and broke open the safe of die Hoërskool Merensky last week. According to Col Moatshe Ngoepe, Spokesperson for the Tzaneen Police the incident took place at 01:30 on Thursday when three suspects broke into the school stealing an undisclosed amount of money from the ATM and a laptop from the school safe. “A few hours later Police officials who had not yet slept a wink cuffed and charged the three suspects who were found hiding in Polokwane.” Ngoepe says intensive profiling and in-depth investigation will now be done provincially to determine whether the suspects can be linked to any other crimes committed elsewhere. Due to the speedy apprehension of the suspects by members of the Limpopo Police both the laptop and the full amount of money was found upon the arrest of the suspects. Ngoepe says all three the suspects appeared in court on Friday where they were denied bail. Their case has been postponed to 11 November for further investigation.

Polokwane-inwoners het Dinsdag omstreeks 11:00 ‘n unieke belewenis gehad toe hulle kringe om die son gesien het. Kenners op die gebied sê die 22 grade-kringe, ook bekend as ‘n son-halo, word gevorm wanneer die son deur wolke, wat klein yskristalle bevat, skyn. Die sonlig breek deur die ys en is vir die optiese verskynsel verantwoordelik. Sommige sê dit is ‘n aanduiding van reën.

ANC listing characterised by huge delays YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com

hile the unofficial outcome of last weekend’s display of preferences in the African National Congress (ANC) Provincial List Conference in Polokwane is doing the rounds, news has broken of an expected arrival of a national executive committee team to investigate dissatisfaction with processes. Apparent dismay over an alleged number of votes unaccounted for would form the basis of concern over the internal process that occurred in the absence of representatives of the

Waterberg region, Polokwane Observer was told. The unfolding list conference process was characterised by extended delays. Sources pointed out that last weekend’s outcome of submissions for preferred candidates is suspected to prematurely predict a significant lead for the faction in support of Public Works MEC Dickson Masemola, who is opposing current Premier Stan Mathabatha for position of both party provincial chairperson and head of the provincial government. It was learnt that the date and venue for the national list conference expected to be held in December still had to be decided on.

Chamber to host dinner to celebrate successes

he Polokwane Chamber of Business (PCOB) will celebrate their successes throughout the past year during the annual gala dinner to be hosted at Protea Hotel Ranch Resort’s Bush Camp next Thursday. PCOB President, Mr Percy Mongalo in a recent press release said the gala dinner comes after a successful year where the chamber had an increase in membership, held four well-attended business card evenings and seven breakfast sessions. “The chamber also led a delegation from Limpopo to attend the National Skills Conference in Boksburg and a delegation to discuss the Integrated Rapid Transport System with the Polokwane Municipality. The chamber also participated in the investment summit which was hosted by the Capricorn District Municipality and played an important role in the formation of the Limpopo United Business Forum which seeks to make the voice of business stronger and

represent businesses as a united force,” mongalo stated. “We have invited a number of dignitaries including Premier Mr Stan Mathabatha, Polokwane Executive Mayor, Cllr Freddy Greaver, local mayors in Capricorn district, District Executive Mayor, Cllr Lawrence Mapoulo and MECs Mr Charles Sekoati of Economic Development Environment and Tourism and Ms Joyce Mashamba of Safety, Security and Liaison. We hope that most of them if not all will attend,” the statement read. This year the gala dinner will also attract learners from schools in Polokwane, Mashashane and Mogwadi to expose learners to the business world and motivate them to get involved. The highlight of the night will be the recognition of star performers in various categories such as Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Public Service Manager of the Year, Local Business of the Year and Newsmaker of the Year.

ealth Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has embarked on a strategy for the direct procurement of medicines and other supplies in order to stop corruption at various hospitals and clinics in the country. Motsoaledi on Tuesday said he will “no longer tolerate shortages of medicine and other supplies” because this hampers service delivery and the image of the health care professional in country. To make his demands and mission clear, Motsoaledi led a team of experts to address hospital managers in Limpopo on the hospital improvement strategy. The Minister, accompanied by Health and Social Development MEC, Ms Dipuo LetsatsiDuba urged the chief executive officers of the province’s hospitals to pull up their socks or relinquish their positions and power if they aren’t willing to serve the masses of this country with respect and honour. “There must be serious introspection within the management of hospitals to ensure that they are serving the people of the province with distinction and professionalism,” Motsoaledi said.

MEC called on to intervene at Disteneng YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Democratic Alliance (DA) Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle is calling on Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe to establish a task team to probe what he refers to as a mess at Disteneng informal settlement. “The people of Disteneng have been promised that they will be moved to a better place by the provincial government. The provincial government’s plan was to hand out stand vouchers to the identified recipients. The problem is that vouchers were haphazardly handed out, which means that many of the legitimate beneficiaries did not receive their vouchers,” Smalle stated in a media release. “The people of Disteneng are therefore highly confused and unhappy about this pro-

cess, especially because there are only 1750 vouchers for 6000 households there. They are also still suffering from a lack of service delivery as Disteneng does not have access to proper sanitation, water and electricity. “The DA believes that a task team needs to be set up to sort out the mess and get the vouchers to their intended recipients. People should not have to pay or suffer in any way because the provincial government could not organise the relocation effort properly. The task team must also ensure that there is transparency and fairness in the process,” the statement read. He said failure by Kgetjepe to put a task team in place would result in the legitimate residents to be overlooked. “I will therefore write to the MEC today to urge him to take action to restore fairness to the Disteneng relocation process.”

Cuba asserts its political will to Limpopo >> Cuba is not intimidated by USA >> SA Health care sector has improved MPHO DUBE >>mphodube.observer@gmail.com

De Cossio, addressing the media at Mowaneng and later at the Department of Health and Social Development’s head office on Tuesday, confirmed that ties between the two countries are solid. The ambassador was on a two day official visit to Limpopo and visited the Tshilindzini Hospital in Vhembe and the Polokwane Provincial Hospital to gain firsthand knowledge about the work done by Cuban doctors at the institutions.

Cuban Ambassador, Mr Carlos Fernandez de Cossio addressing the media at Mowaneng on Tuesday.

After his visits De Cossio said: “I’m impressed by the condition of the hospitals. I’m confident that the standard in the health care sector in the country has improved.” He scorned what he labelled forces of gloom and doom who are spreading rumours that Cuban medical doctors aren’t equal to the task. “We know who is behind this, it is obviously the United States of America. We will never be intimidated by their attempts to ridicule us. The whole world knows that Cuba produces the best medical doctors in the world. We will continue to work closely with South Africa. Both countries have a political will to change people’s lives. We don’t only deal with medical doctors, we also have engineers who are assisting Limpopo in the Department of Public Works,” he said. Premier Stan Mathabatha said: “Cuba has had good relations with the people of South Africa dating back from the times of our struggle. Our former President Nelson Mandela visited Cuba in the 60s before he was incarcerated at Robben Island and when it was not fashionable to do so. Today, Limpopo is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the people of Cuba. We do not only benefit in the primary health care service in that Cuban doctors are spread across our hospitals sacrificing even were eagles dare, but also in the building environment, were we have engineers, technicians and architects in our Human Settlement industry.” Cuba will before the end of the year send more medical doctors to South Africa while more aspirant doctors from Limpopo will be leaving for Cuba soon to continue their studies there. “Before long nearly 110 potential student doctors will be leaving for Cuba to study medicine. Ten of them left about three weeks ago and the rest will leave soon. We will soon revive several memoranda of understanding with Cuba. One is with the Holguin Province which lies dormant at the moment. The memoranda was signed a few years ago and give priority to fields such as education, health, culture and sports.” Health and Social Development MEC,Ms Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba thanked the Cuban delegation for visiting the country and those who serve in South Africa as health professionals.

Cosatu council to rally for pending mass action YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) President Sdumo Dlamini was expected to address the trade federation’s second Provincial Shop Stewards’ Council for the year in Polokwane yesterday (Wednesday). The council would have afforded Cosatu in the province the opportunity to assess the work done during the past year and plan for 2014, said Cosatu Provincial Secretary Dan Sebabi. Cosatu’s provincial leadership also planned to use it to rally for support ahead of a countrywide campaign of rolling mass action planned for mid-November when affiliates across South Africa are expected to join the drive. According to Sebabi roughly 10 000 workers would gather in Polokwane on that day for marches to the Departments of Roads and Transport and Labour, as well as the South African Local Government Association (Salga) and the Office of the Premier to air their voices on issues to include e-tolling, labour brokering, privatisation and outsourcing of services as well as outstanding matters such as service delivery that were left unanswered by former Premier Cassel Mathale.

A worker from NTY Steel Works points to the pile of sand and other builder’s rubble that was left behind after repairs to a burst pipe under the sidewalk.

The pavement in front of NTY Steel Works is uneven after continuous repairs to a burst pipe.

burst water pipe in front of their premises in Industria is becoming a regular occurrence at NTY Steel Works due to the city’s ageing water infrastructure. According to the Floor Manager at NTY Steel Works, Mr Eric Wiggill the company has experienced numerous water leakages due to the same pipe bursting in various places along their premises in 19th Avenue, Industria. On Friday the same pipe burst once again right in front of the entrance of NTY Steel Works causing thousands of litres of water to flow down the pavement. Wiggill said that NTY notified the Polokwane Municipality about the burst pipe early on Friday morning and they only responded to the complaint in the afternoon after numerous follow-up calls. The damaged pipe was repaired

by municipal workers on Friday afternoon but they neglected to clean up the site afterwards. After the repairs to the burst pipe, municipal workers left behind a pile of sand and builders rubble that had to be swept up by employees from NTY Steel Works. The sidewalk in front of NTY has become uneven and a danger to pedestrians after all the repairs done to burst pipes over the past year. Polokwane Municipality spokesperson, Mr Matshidiso Mothapo said the affected pipe was repaired by their water and sanitation section on Friday afternoon. He added that the department that did the repairs are not equipped to replace broken tarmac or paving. He went on to say that the water and sanitation department must submit a report to the roads and storm water section to replace the damaged surface. According to Mothapo it should not take longer than two weeks before the damaged area is repaired.

Councillors walk out of council meeting due to late agendas >> ‘Fingers cannot be pointed at us’ - Cope >> DA to lodge dismay over council meeting with Legislature RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com During last week’s council meeting of the Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) councillors of the Democratic Alliance (DA), Congress of the People (Cope) and African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) walked out because of the agenda not being distributed seven days before commencement of the meeting last Thursday morning. CDM Spokesperson, Mr Moffat Senyatsi in a press release stated that members of the three parties requested a five minute caucus, where after the meeting resumed. “They requested for the postponement of council providing the late distribution of the agenda as reason for their request. They staged a walkout with the exception of the Azanian People’s Organisation (Azapo),” Senyatsi said. The walkout was, according to Senyatsi, neither justified nor reasonable because councillors were notified via SMS on Tuesday to collect the agendas. “The same councillors who walked out attended a multi-party whippery meeting on Wednesday, a day before the council meeting, to preview the agenda and test its readiness. The whippery is a forum that serves as a precursor to point out or pre-empt any challenges that might hamper the council meeting from running smoothly,” he said. He added that the aggrieved parties were given an opportunity to object or raise any matter that they were unhappy with. “They did not say anything relating to the distribution of the agenda. It is for these reasons that it is submitted that the conduct of the respective councillors is unacceptable and contemptuous. Therefore the walkout will not have any implications on the resolutions taken by council as it was duly constituted.” Cope’s Interim Deputy Secretary Capricorn District, Ms Kabela Raletjena said the Executive Mayor, Cllr Lawrence Mapoulo allegedly refused to postpone the meeting. “The issue of agendas being distributed late is numerously discussed and every time CDM promises to rectify the problem, but nothing is done. We needed more time to work through the agenda as there were issues to be discussed. Fingers cannot be pointed at us for decisions taken without our consent that will have a negative impact.” DA Spokesperson on local government and legislature, Ms Desireé van der Walt said the party’s displeasure will be brought before the Legislature next week. “Important decisions are supposed to be taken and we cannot do so if we are uninformed due to the agenda being distributed a day before council meeting. The walkout shows the frustration of councillors and the unprofessional manner CDM conducts the meeting,” she said.

Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, Spokesperson for the Limpopo Police said the mother rushed both the children to the hospital where it was found that they had been raped, violated and internally injured. “Officials on duty at the hospital found signs of penetration and a case of rape was immediately opened against the father.” Minister for the Department of Women, Children and People with Disabilities, Ms Lulu Xingwana is reported to have expressed her shock and utter disappointment at the alleged recent rape of the two very young children by their father. “Something somewhere is indeed wrong with and in our society, that our children are not protected by the people they trust the most, parents, and so forth. As communities, as parents, as professionals, together, we have to reflect and identify causes that lead to these heinous crimes and prevention strategies to stop these atrocities from happening. We therefore appeal to the community to remain calm and allow the police and the courts to do their work. The perpetrator has been arrested and therefore we have a responsibility to support the children as much as we can,” Xingwana said according to a press release issued by her department. The suspect was denied bail and will appear again on 25 November. The name of the 39-year-old suspect is known to Polokwane Observer but is withheld due to the sensitivity of the case.

CRIME shorts Police killers sentenced to life imprisonment The two accused, Messrs Jonas Tlou Dolo and Steven Thoka, who shot and killed a Police member during August of 2010, will spend the rest of their lives behind bars after being sentenced to life imprisonment by the Polokwane High Court on Tuesday morning. WO Marcus Phuti Mongalo walked home in Masashane and while attempting to open his gate was overpowered and killed by three suspects. Col Ronel Otto, Spokesperson for the Limpopo Police says the suspects shot the Police official twice in his abdomen before fleeing the scene in his Toyota Hilux bakkie. “The stolen vehicle was found abandoned and the suspects were arrested. One of the suspects died of natural causes during the investigation and court proceedings and the other two have been in custody since their arrests,” Otto explained.

Suspected rhino poachers arrested

Five suspected rhino poachers were arrested and appeared in the Groblersdal Magistrate’s Court on Monday on charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. Two suspects remain in custody while the charges against the other three were dropped as they could not be connected to the firearms or the ammunition. Messrs Arthur Mashaba (43) and Albertus Muloti (40) remain in custody and will appear again on 12 November. The suspects were arrested at Marble Hall at around 20:00 on Friday after information was received about a possible incident of rhino poaching in the area. According to Col Ronel Otto, Spokesperson for the Limpopo Police, the suspects were found after routine patrolling by Police officials and information received regarding the poaching incident.

She was detained at the Modimolle Police Station and is due to appear in the Modimolle Magistrate’s Court yesterday,” Mootane said.

Steun Childline met 16 dae van aktivisme-veldtog Mariëtte Snyder >> mariette.observer@gmail.com Bolivia Lodge was die eerste onderneming Childline Limpopo met die nasionale 16 dae van aktivisme vir die veldtog “Geen geweld teen vroue en kinders” gesteun het deur plakkers vir dié doel aan te koop. Me Priscilla Mulaudzi, direkteur van Childline Limpopo en van die personeel het Dinsdag by Bolivia Lodge byeengekom om die veldtog te begin. Me Sonja Randall, bemarkingsbestuurder van Bolivia Lodge sê hulle steun die projek omdat hulle weet hoeveel die provinsie se kinders daarby kan baat. Nasionaal word die veldtog van 25 November gehou, maar Childline Limpopo gaan vroeër begin om die boodskap uit te dra. Op 22 November beplan hulle om besighede in die stad te besoek en op 23 November fokus hulle op gesinne. Hulle doen ‘n beroep op alle kerke om op 24 November om 10:00 vir ‘n oplossing teen geweld te bid. “Laat alles tot ‘n stilstand kom en bid vir vrede in ons huise.

Bid vir ons vroue en kinders,” sê sy. Mulaudzi sê hulle verkoop die plakkers teen R5 om nie net geld vir Childline in te samel nie, maar om vroue en kinders te bemagtig om vir hulself op te staan. “Childline se tolvrye nommer is op die plakker gedruk. Al wat hulle moet doen is om te skakel, ons is daar om te help,” verseker sy. Hulle beplan om agt bykomende telefoonlyne met die geld wat ingesamel word, te installeer. “Ons het slegs twee lyne wat heeltemal te min is. Die ekstra lyne sal verseker dat ons elke noodoproep kan beantwoord,” sê sy. Sy doen ook ‘n beroep op die gemeenskap om hande te vat en op te staan teen geweld. “Ons vroue en kinders word verniel. Verkragting van kinders is ‘n realiteit en dit moet stopgesit word. Kinders moet toegelaat word om op hul regte te staan en dit is hoekom ons die projek steun – sodat kinders weer kinders kan wees,” benadruk sy. Sy versoek ook besigheidseienaars om plakkers vir hul werknemers te koop en so te wys dat hulle vir die personeel se kinders omgee. Vir meer besonderhede of om plakkers te koop, kan hul kantore by 015 295 6449 geskakel word.

Boere gemaan om vee te brandmerk RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

>> Limpopo stig eie veediefstalforum >> Diewe steel vir geldwaarde, nie vir pot nie Limpopo se eie veediefstalforum is verlede week tydens ‘n vergadering in Mokopane gestig waar die brandmerk van beeste die belangrikste punt op die agenda was. Mnr Jacques Swanepoel, vise-voorsitter van die Nasionale Veediefstalforum en voorsitter van die Noordwes Veediefstalforum is deur die Limpopo Rooivleisprodusente Organisasie (Limpro) genooi om die vergadering te lei. Lede van die nasionale polisie- en Modimolle veediefstaleenheid en kommersiële boere regoor die provinsie het die vergadering bygewoon. “Veediefstal is die tweede grootste faktor wat rooivleisproduksie in Suid-Afrika beïnvloed. Miljoene vee word jaarliks gesteel en boere trek aan die kortste end omdat hul vee nie gebrandmerk is nie.” Hy sê boere kan geensins bewys dat dit hulle beeste is as dit nie gebrandmerk is nie en verloor duisende rand as gevolg van die nalatigheid. “Veediewe het lank reeds meer waarde aan vee geheg. Hulle steel nie meer vir die pot nie, maar vir geldwaarde wat in veral koeie en verse lê. Daar is ongeveer 36 000 geregistreerde boere en 700 000 persone op die brandmerkregister geregistreer. Dit beteken dat ‘n veedief vermoedelik reeds sy eie gere-

gistreerde brandmerk het waarmee hy gesteelde vee merk en die boer geen kans staan om sy vee terug te kry nie,” sê hy. Oor die Limpopo Veediefstalforum sê hy lede moet werk daarvan maak om ‘n verhouding met die polisie en aanklaers te bou. “Maak nie saak hoe groot of klein die saak is nie, meld dit aan en volg dit op. Die forum moet alle sake en veral suksesvolle sake aan die media deurgee en terselfdertyd statistiek van veediefstal in die provinsie hou.” Swanepoel sê verder boere moet te alle tye ‘n veediefstaltoneel bewaar deur nie met hul voertuie oor spore te ry nie. Die stigtingsvergadering is deur die kies van ‘n interimkomitee afgesluit. Mnre Nic Haarhof, Dries Enslin en Nico Weenink vorm die komitee wat lede sal lei om die veediefstalforum op die been te bring. In Februarie sal ‘n gevestigde komitee verkies word.

Diwali: Festival of Lights celebrated in Polokwane KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com Hindu-followers around Limpopo celebrated the Festival of Lights, also known as Diwali or Deepavali on Sunday. Diwali celebrates the Lord Rama’s glorious and long awaited return to his kingdom of Ayodhya after fourteen long years of exile in the forests. It also commemorates Lord Krishna’s victory over the demon Narakasuura who had kidnapped and terrorised the gopis (cow-herding maidens devoted to Lord Krishna) of Vrindavan. When the evil Narakasuura was finally killed by Bangwan Krishna and Satyabhaama it was declared that this day would be celebrated with great joy and festivities. This day is also celebrated as the day when Bhagwan Vishnu married Maha Lakshmi. Diwali signifies the triumph of good over evil, righteousness over treachery and light over darkness. In addition to these battles fought and won by Lord Vishnu, the Festival of Lights is also a time when Hindus offer prayers to Maha Lakshmi and worship her with piety and devotion. This is done to bring wealth and prosperity, abundantly bestowed by Lakshmi onto her devotees. Ms Jyoti Mistry from the Pietersburg Hindu Seva Samaj explained that the festival also serves as a unifying time of the year when followers of Hinduism embrace love and forgiveness towards their fellow man. Most importantly Diwali is known as a festival of joy and a time of the year when families and friends celebrate the prosperity bestowed upon them by Lakshmi. The Pietersburg Seva Samaj wishes all Hindu readers a happy and prosperous new year.

Café Pavilion, more than just a tranquil venue Situated a few minutes’ drive from the Polokwane CBD Café Pavilion presents a contemporary setting where business meetings rub shoulders with social get-togethers on a daily basis. Complemented by the natural, tranquil atmosphere created by the adjacent Sterkloop Home & Garden, the menu offers bountiful buffets; a great selection of salads, breads as well as meat and vegetable dishes to satisfy every appetite. “If you happen to come on a Saturday you will be able to sample our chef’s mouth watering specialties which include an extremely tasty biltong and avocado T-bone. Should a heavy meal not fall within your taste there is a delectable selection of light bites to choose from. Our wine list is stocked to cater for all tastes and to enhance the meal of your choice,” Mr Schalk Buchling, General Manager of Café Pavilion explained. He added that while the warm and trendy ambiance makes the venue ideal for a special

meal to be enjoyed with special people children are most welcome and made provision for on the menu as well as at the kids play area on the premises. Reflecting on how it all started in 2006 Buchling said they have grown vastly and today aim to offer a shopping venue away from the traditional malls. “We want to inspire people to go home and create a garden because of the extensive garden we have here,” he said. Café Pavilion offers catering services and can host events such as meetings, year-end functions, baby showers, weddings, kitchen teas, bachelor’s parties and conferences for up to 300 persons. A new menu is busy being developed with the intention of drawing more customers from the CBD and according to Buchling: “to achieve that, we need to make sure we have everything the want”.

We have grown a lot since we started operating from here,” David Vitri said.

Having lived in Pretoria for most of my life, I was shocked to find no second hand bookstores in Polokwane when I moved here three years ago. I often told my husband that one day I want

to have my own bookstore and when we saw a vacant shop at Sterkloop in the middle of this year the dream became a reality. She describes the reception from the reading public as amazing and definitely contributing to the joy she continues to derive from her love for books. She also said she has some plans up her sleeve and added: “come visit Die Boekrak and I’ll let you in on the secret”. As a special Festive Season treat Die Boekrak offers customers who spend R100 or more in November and present the shop’s advert in this week’s edition of Polokwane Observer a 10% discount on their purchase.

Over 1 500 km still to go for Sam Ntsan’wisi RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Sam Ntsan’wisi, who is engaged in a mega-ultra marathon from Cape Town to his home village of NkowaNkowa just outside Tzaneen, had on Monday already completed 320 km of the 1 850 km journey which he started on 30 October. Polokwane Observer was informed by his support team on Monday that they had passed through Paarl, Worcester and Ceres and were spending the night in Sutherland. The next seven days will be spent running though the Northern Cape before entering the Free State. Besides the normal aches and pains Ntsan’wisi and his two companions, Ben Ndlovu and Makgobe Masufi are doing well. “It is lonely on the Karoo roads and we see very few people. This is the time where we have to dig deep and find strength and motivation in the beautiful open spaces around us,” Ntsan’wisi was quoted saying in a recent email. In a previous interview

with Ntsan’wisi he said the idea of conducting this campaign stems from his love for young people and to engage with them on the sensitive issue of child and women abuse. His aim is to make a difference in the lives of abused people, even if he can only get them as far as reporting abuse to relevant authorities. The campaign will also promote national awareness on South Africa’s 16 Days of Activism Against Child and Women Abuse to be commemorated from 25 November to 10 December. Ntsan’wisi is expected in Polokwane by the end of this month or early December.

Dynamic dancing duo has eyes set on America >> High Rand/Dollar exchange puts plans on hold >> Multitalented and awarded Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

ip-Hop and modern dance styles with all the right gyrations and moves have always fascinated the Hartmann brothers, Warren and Bradley. Now they are gearing up to take America by storm when they will be participating in the Actors, Models & Talent for Christ (AMTC) Shine

event at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida in July 2014. AMTC equips, prepares and promotes God’s talent to become positive role models in an industry that influences the entire modern Western culture. Children, teens and adults chosen from local or online auditions get to perform for the world’s leading agents. Although Warren and Bradley had set their sights on going to America at the end of the year, the brothers in dance have decided to put their plans on hold for awhile due to the high exchange rate of the Rand/Dollar. Despite the minor setback to their dream of gaining recognition by a big agent in the USA, the pair continues to practise for two hours a day to perfect their Hip-Hop and freestyle dance routines. Bradley is no stranger to taking to the big

stage, having won the gold medal for the overall best dancer at the South Africa’s Got Talent show in 2010. He also won gold for his dance routine at the 2011 South African Talent Championship (SATCH). More recently, both brothers won gold at the 2013 SATCH event at Midrand in September. In addition, Bradley also won the award for the best overall dancer at the event. Bradley is double jointed, a condition that is extremely useful in helping him to contort his body in modern freestyle dance routines. He can even move his ears and started modern dancing in 2008 at the Nonnie de Lange Dance School in Polokwane. He also likes tennis and hockey and extreme sports like skateboarding, BMX bikes and quad bikes. Warren is into swimming and DJ’ing and

both do regular live dance entertainment routines at local events and talent shows. They hope to gain international recognition when they participate in the AMTC Shine event in America in July 2014. Bradley says his ultimate dream is to star in a Broadway musical or a dance movie one day. When the Hartmann brothers are not practising for a new dance routine, they stay in shape with regular visits to the local gym. Their biggest supporters are their parents, Bernard and Debbie, who are urging any generous sponsors to help with the costs of sending Warren and Bradley to the USA next year.

The learners spent three days in New York and a further four days in Orlando, Florida. While on the trip they visited landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, The Museum of Natural History, Central Park, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, Ripleys Believe It Or Not, Chinatown and Times Square in New York. As an added bonus learners enjoyed dinner at Hard Rock Café before moving on to Disney World and various other world-famous theme parks for a well-deserved chance to meet their childhood hero, Mr Mickey Mouse. Following this exhilarating outing, Planet Hollywood was their next stop for a dinner out of this world, thanks to all the props and displays from hundreds of movies, only ever seen on screen. Over 500 delegates attended the week-long conference and were given the opportunity to work together and display the Round Square ideals so many pride themselves in. Some of these ideals include service projects and an environmental outing to the Everglades and spending the day at the beach building rafts as part of an adventure challenge. All the learners came home with hearts full of newly found knowledge and heads filled with goals to ensure a better future for all in South Africa.

In 1995 het me Wilna Kilian ‘n appelblaar (Lonchocarpus capassa) geplant ten spyte daarvan dat almal vir haar gesê het dat die boom nie in Polokwane se klimaatsomstandighede sal groei nie. Na 19 jaar staan die boom tans in volblom op haar sypaadjie en is sy trots dat sy dié boom, wat in Swaziland, Zimbabwe en Botswana en langs rivieroewers voorkom, kon laat gedy.

Ms Tamaryn Smith, Spokesperson of Chillibush Connect said the briefings were part of a series of national briefings aimed at assisting ordinary shareholders and eligible Black persons or groups to register online in order to be able to buy and/or sell shares in South Africa’s largest empowerment scheme in the telecommunications industry. Ms Simon Mogapi, MTN Consumer Investor Educator responded to questions regarding trading to the shareholders. The R8,1 billion MTN Zakhele transaction was concluded in November 2010 as part of MTN’s ongoing efforts to further BEE objectives in South Africa. MTN Zakhele is presently owned by approximately 120 000 Black investors. Smith in a statement said: “With the three year minimum investment period having passed, during which no trading in MTN Zakhele ordinary shares was permitted, these investors are able to sell their MTN Zakhele shares to eligible, registered buyers, to buy more MTN Zakhele ordinary shares or to continue to hold their MTN Zakhele ordinary shares. MTN Zakhele Chairperson, Mr Thulani Gcabashe is quoted to have said: “The MTN Zakhele scheme is progressing well and we are looking forward to the shares being traded. We are calling on all existing and potential eligible investors, who want to trade in MTN Zakhele ordinary share, to register and verify their personal information starting from the beginning of November when the registration and verification opens.”

Following the sentencing of Johannes Kana to two life sentences in prison for the murder, rape and mutilation of Anene Booysen, Polokwane residents voiced their opinions on whether sentencing of criminals is harsh enough. Nadat Johannes Kana tot twee keer lewenslange tronkstraf gevonnis is na die moord, verkragting en verminking van Anene Booysen, het Polokwane-inwoners hul menings rakende vonnisopleggings in die algemeen gelug.

Me Lynette Myburgh: “Ek voel vonnisopleggings is nie streng genoeg nie. Misdadigers word meer as kinders beskerm en dit is onaanvaarbaar.”

Me Mariette Kellerman: “Meeste verkragters en moordenaars se borgtog is minder as iemand wat kabels steel. Vonnise is nie streng genoeg nie en misdadigers op borgtog pleeg meestal weer dieselfde dade.”

Mnr Tebo Buys: “Criminals rarely get the sentence they deserve and that’s why most communities end up taking justice into their own hands and inflict the sentence they feel the criminals deserve by means of mob justice.”

Ms Dineo Legodi: “Criminals receive sentences that are too light and end up being released far sooner than they should be. Prison is also a convenience for some criminals as they are fed, clothed and have a permanent roof over their heads.”

Mnr Duane Randall: “Vonisse is nie streng genoeg nie. Die doodstraf moet terug gebring word sodat die wat moor en verkrag hulle verdiende loon kry.”

Mnr Fanie Boshoff: “Vonisse is nie streng genoeg nie. Ek dink met die politiese propaganda in die land word hulle vrygelaat om sekere rasse se getalle hoër te hou en makliker kleiner etniese groepe uit te roei.”

Is u kind se tegniese skoen reg aangetrek vir sy beplande tegniese loopbaan?

>> Hansies is ‘n erkende tegniese skool wat reeds drie tegniese vakke aanbied >> Ouers van skole wat nie vir dié nuwe sillabus geïdentifiseer is nie, sal teleurgestel wees as hulle kinders eers in matriek besef dat hulle vakkeuse vir ‘n tegniese rigting verkeerd is Ouers wat verkies om hul graad 8-kind in ‘n tegniese skool te sit met die oog op ‘n tegniese loopbaan moet seker maak dat die skool opnuut deur die departement as tegniese skool erken word. Daarom word aanbeveel dat leerders wat volgende jaar in graad 8 is, nou reeds by ‘n erkende tegniese skool moet inskryf. Die motivering daarvoor is dat onderwysdepartement onlangs bekendgemaak het dat die nuwe sillabus van tegniese vakke aan die begin van 2015 met die graad 10-leerders begin wat belangrike skuiwe meebring. Ouers van skole wat nie vir dié nuwe sillabus geïdentifiseer is nie, sal teleurgestel wees wanneer hulle en hulle kinders in matriek besef hulle het nie die korrekte tegniese sillabus gevolg nie. Met die veranderings in die onderwysstelsel oor jare het die suiwer tegniese skole van ouds vervaag en gewone skole kon kies of hulle een of twee tegniese vakke soos tegniese tekene of ingenieursgrafika en ontwerp (IGO) wil aanbied om leerders te lok of te akkommodeer. In 2015 sal dié skole nie meer toegelaat word om tegniese vakke aan te bied nie. In die verlede het leerders wat tegniese vakke in akademiese skole geneem en in graad 9 na die Hoërskool Hans Strijdom geskuif het, ‘n enorme agterstand in tegniese vakkennis gehad in vergelyking met leerders wat hul hoërskoolloopbaan aan ‘n tegniese skool begin het. Hansies is in die bevoorregte posisie om ‘n erkende tegniese skool te wees wat reeds drie tegniese vakke aanbied. Die skool sal een van ‘n uitgelese groep skole wees, wat al die ou tegniese skole insluit, wat toegelaat sal word om tegniese studierigtings aan te bied.

In ‘n meganiese rigting sal pas- en draaiwerk, in ‘n elektriese rigting stroombane en in ‘n siviele rigting boukonstruksie aangebied word. Hansies beskik oor die tegniese sentrums om die vakrigtings aan te bied en opgeleide leerkragte is reeds by die skool betrokke wat onbetwisbaar bewys dat hulle kenners op hul afsonderlike gebiede is. Indien ‘n leerder twee tegniese vakke en IGO neem, kwalifiseer hy om twee nuwe vakke, tegniese wiskunde en tegniese wetenskap te neem om sy studierigting meer beroepsgerig te maak. Indien leerders graad 12 slaag, is dit die ekwivalent van ‘n N3-kursus en kan hy direk na skool met sy N4-studies begin wat ook die ekwivalent van die huidige vlak 4 (level 4) by tegniese kolleges is. “Dit is ‘n ongelooflike voordeel vir leerders wat nou kies om na die Hoërskool Hans Strijdom te gaan. Ons beveel aan dat ouers nie tot 2015 wag om hul kinders in te skryf nie. Die verskil in sillabusse tussen ons en enige ander skool, maak dit ‘n logiese stap om u kind so gou moontlik in te skryf,’ sê skoolhoof, mnr George Klopper. Hansies bied ‘n seuns- en meisieskoshuis wat tans opgeknap is en spog met ‘n sportakademie en tartanbaan. ‘n Bussie ry daagliks van Mokopane wat elke Vrydag en Sondag deur Modimolle na Vaalwater en Lephalale reis. Die kombinasie van jong, dinamiese onderwysers wat self toppresteerders op skool en universiteit was en goed onderlê is in die eise van die moderne era, staan hul plek vol in tegniese rigtings asook wiskunde en wetenskap aan die spogskool. Vir meer inligting kontak Klopper by 014 743 2151.

Increase of malaria in Lim MARIËTTE SNYDER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com The Department of Health in the province issued a stern warning to the community following increased reports of malaria in Limpopo and more specifically Musina, Mutale and Thulamela municipalities in Vhembe and Greater Giyani, Ba-Phalaborwa and Maruleng municipalities in Mopani. Ms Adele van der Linde, Spokesperson of the department said in a press statement that Limpopo is regarded as epidemic-prone to malaria and seasonal increases in malaria do occur. “The north eastern parts of Vhembe and eastern part of Mopani are specifically prone to malaria. Malaria is a seasonal disease, with most cases reported during the summer rainy season. More cases are also reported during the months December to April,” the statement read. She further stated that over the past ten years 6 065 cases of malaria were reported in 2005/06 and 1 384 in 2012/13. This year 131 and 34 cases were reported for September and October this year. The statement further read that the department has a malaria control programme in place to manage and reduce the incidence of malaria. They are targeting 990 000 structures to be sprayed this financial year and spraying is currently underway in all risk areas. In order to conduct the spraying, the department has 42 operational malaria spray teams. The department furthermore employed 309 seasonal spray workers in September to ensure that the spray targets are met. More than 300 000 houses were sprayed over the past three months. Teams are also currently visiting the affected communities to raise the levels of awareness about malaria. Van der Linde provided general information in the prevention of malaria:

Individuals: • Remain indoors between dusk and dawn • When outdoors at night, wear long-sleeved clothing to protect exposed skin • Spray the house inside with an aerosol insecticide (for flying insects) at dusk, especially the bedrooms, after closing the windows • Burn mosquito coils or mats in living and sleeping areas during the night • Use mosquito-proof bed net covers, with edges tucked in under the mattress • Individuals visiting high risk areas can take anti-malarial (prophylactic) drugs to protect themselves against malaria Communities: • Make provision for drainage of rain and household water near houses • See that there is no standing water in either ground pools or articles like empty cans or old car tyres near houses • Build houses and villages away from marshy areas and rivers that are potential breeding areas for mosquitoes • Install gauze screens in front of outside doors and windows of houses. • Cooperate with malaria control teams during the spraying of houses. • Communities with the capacity to do spraying (e.g. farming communities and game ranges), can also embark on their own spraying campaigns by spraying the interior walls of houses with long-acting insecticides. This also applies to the application of larvicides to standing water that cannot be drained. Tourists to other countries: Tourists visiting areas like Mozambique and Zimbabwe during the summer months should note that these are malaria high risk areas. It is strongly advised that any visitor to Mozambique should take a medically approved preventative medicine and combine it with good personal protection against mosquito bites.

Edwin Wilters

Handelaar: Audi Polokwane Waarom is jy by die handelaar betrokke? >> Audi groei sterk en ek wil deel wees van ‘n uitstekende produk Is ‘n motor ‘n belegging? Waarom/waarom nie? >> Dit is nie ‘n belegging nie, maar wat is lekkerder om die nuutste motor op die mark te ry? Wat is die unieke eienskappe van jou produk? >> Audi se Quattro-sisteem

Ek en my wiele >>

Niks stop ‘n skoolhoof en sy Jeep nie RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

edert hy sy eerste motor in 1976 as student gekoop het, het mnr Peet Bredenkamp, Pietersburg Laerskoolhoof ‘n verskeidenheid voertuie gehad, maar sy Jeep Cherokee 2,8 diesel wat hy nou al drie jaar het bly sy beste koop. “Ek en my vrou hak gereeld die karavaan en spandeer byna elke Desembervakansie in die Kruger Nasional Park of iewers aan die Noordkus. Die Jeep is ‘n betroubare voertuig wat my in elke opsig tevrede stel,” sê hy. Bredenkamp ry ongeveer 40 000 km per jaar met die staatmaker na hoofsaaklik skoolgeleenthede. Hy was so gelukkig om tydens sy vierde jaar op universiteit ‘n E-klas linkerhandstuur Mercedes-Benz by ‘n familielid, wat by die Duitse ambassade gewerk het, vir R600 te koop. “Ek huil steeds oor die voertuig. Ek was jonk en het nie besef dit is ‘n versamelstuk nie en het dit verkoop voordat ek diensplig begin doen het.” Wat was jou eerste motor? “’n Mini sedan wat ek vir R600 gekoop het.” Watter motor ry jy tans? Wat is jou motor se beste en swakste eienskappe? “Jeep Cherokee. Die beste eienskappe is die ongelooflike wrinkrag, kajuitspasie, suiwer klankstelsel en sy fantastiese 4x4-vermoë. Sy brandstofverbruik is die enigste swak eienskap.” As geld nie ‘n oorweging was nie watter motor sal jy koop?

“Jeep Grand Cherokee.” Wat is jou kosbaarste motorherinneringe? “Ons was onlangs in Botswana waar ons ‘n trop olifante gekry het. Die enigste pad was tussen die olifante en die rivieroewer deur en die Jeep het bewys dat niks in sy pad staan nie.” Wie het jou leer bestuur en hoeveel keer moes jy vir jou rybewys getoets word? “My oupa. Ons het die grondpaaie op die kleinhoewes net buite Benoni platgery met sy Volkswagen kewer. Ek het die eerste keer my rybewys geslaag.” Is jy ‘n pyn in die nek oor die netheid van jou motor? “Absoluut. Ek het ‘n kleintjie dood aan iemand wat die deure hard toeslaan. Maak nie saak wie jy is nie, as jy in my voertuig klim word jy dadelik gewaarsku om nie die deure toe te slaan nie. My kinders weet dat daar nie ‘n papiertjie in die motor mag rondlê nie.” Na watter eienskappe kyk jy wanneer jy ‘n nuwe motor aanskaf? “’n Voertuig moet ‘n hoë grondvryhoogte hê, met 4x4 toegerus wees, leërsitplekke hê, betroubaar wees en sy dienste- en onderhoudkoste moet billik wees.” Leen jy jou motor vir vriende of familie? “Ja. My kinders ry met hom en familie het hom al geleen. Ek pas my goed op, maar dit bly steeds ‘n aardse ding.” Hoe hanteer jy verkeersknope/pad-

woede? “Moeilik, maar ek probeer om nie meer kwaad te word nie. Ek bid maar dat die padvarke ‘n ander gesindheid kry.” Wat is in jou paneelkissie? “My globale posisioneringstelsel, diensboekie en my Wild Card vir die wildtuin.” Wat is in jou motor se CD-speler of waarna luister jy terwyl jy bestuur? “Goue oues. Ek luister alles van die laat 60’s en 70’s, goeie Afrikaanse musiek en gospel.”

MARIËTTE SNYDER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com Vir die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar hou mnr David Booth die Sisters and Brothers in Heelsprojek ter bewusmaking van die geweld teen vroue en kinders. Booth en ondersteuners het verlede jaar die parkeerarea by Mall of the North op horings geneem met die eerste projek toe hulle van die sentrum tot by Mitchell House en terug gestap het. Vanjaar kom die ondersteuners in hul hoëhakskoene op 30 November by die ou Peter Mokaba Stadion bymekaar om 4 km te stap. Registrasie is R100 vir ‘n individuele inskrywing, R80 per persoon in ‘n span van tien of meer en R50 vir kinders ouer as twaalf. Die geld wat ingesamel word, sal aangewend word om verskeie instansies wat verkragte en mishandelde vroue en kinders help, met nuwe linne, gordyne en moontlik ‘n nuwe lagie verf te bederf sodat vroue en kinders wat aanklop vir hulp gemaklik en veilig kan voel terwyl hulle hul traumatiese ondervinding deel en verwerk. Die idee vir dié verdienstelike projek is gebore nadat Booth

jaarliks Jakaranda FM se Sisters with Blistersprojek in Gauteng ondersteun het. “Ek het gevoel dat dit nie nodig is om ver te reis om jou stem te laat hoor nie. Ons kan dit mos in ons eie stad doen.” Vir meer besonderhede of om ‘n span in te skryf kan Booth by 083 655 2678 geskakel word. “Wees deel van die projek en help ons om die gemeenskap bewus te maak van die onreg wat ons vroue en kinders aangedoen word,” vra Booth.

Mee Hunette Stroebel, Mienke de Jager, Simoné Botha en Wade Barnard het die bederfdag moontlik gemaak.

Minderbevoorregte kinders geniet hulle gate uit RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Danksy die inisiatief van me Mienke de Jager is die Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé se rugbyveld Vrydag in ‘n speelpark vir sowat 37 minderbevoorregte kinders van die stad omskep wat die hele middag op springkastele en waterwurms kon baljaar. Boonop is hulle ook met worsbroodjies, koeldrank, lekkergoed en roomys bederf. “Ek wil iets vir behoeftige kinders in die stad doen. Dit is wonderlik om in die posisie te wees om vir kinders te kan gee sonder om iets terug te verwag. Die dankbare uitdrukkings op hul gesigte maak alles die moeite werd,” sê De Jager wat ook die borge wat die eetgoed verskaf het, bedank het.

Miss Lim finalists geared and ready for action KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com

inalists of the Miss Limpopo and Miss Limpopo Teen 2014 pageant spent the weekend honing their community upliftment skills during a community workshop programme dealing directly with how the beauties will be improving the lives of people in the communities they reside in. One of the organisers of the event, Ms René Kidd says the finalists were given guidelines on how to plan and execute the charity projects of their choice. “These charity projects need to be executed before 30 November and will then be judged on the same day, where after the judges will allocate a mark,” Kidd said. She also said the pageant will this year be adding a new sash and title, ‘Beauty with a Heart’ that will be given to the finalist who scores the highest marks for her community project. The Miss Limpopo organisers aim to show the finalists what a rewarding experience helping others can be, as well as making charity projects a permanent aspect in their futures. Katie Morgets, Miss Limpopo Teen 2013 said, “It is important for the finalists to realise how lucky they are for their lives; they need

to dedicate each day of their lives to making a difference in someone else’s life. It’s not always about what you can give but also about what you can do for someone else.” Finalist Carmen van der Walt has withdrawn from the event and been replaced by Kudu Madihlaba while the Miss Lim Teen finalists have added Tiane Ströh to their line-up. Together with the community workshop programme the girls were also treated to a modelling workshop on Saturday and a photo shoot on Sunday at House of Asante and Protea Hotel Ranch Resort where they were photographed in robes and swimwear. Tomorrow (Friday) there will be a special cocktail evening where all the finalists will be given the opportunity to meet the judges, sponsors and designers. The designers for the pageant, Nico Willoughby-Smith, Erica Mengouchi and Carol Mokabaki are expected to be among the guests. Tickets for the gala event to be held on 7 December at Bolivia Lodge are available from House of Asante at 29 Jorissen Street at R350 per person, which includes the pageant, dinner and wine. The printing of the tickets is proudly sponsored by DNM Promotions situated in 53 E Church Street.

Top 10 tips for first time homebuyers

MYNGENOEGEN: R1 200 000: A 2,1 ha plot with an unfinished double-storey house. House 80% complete. Install your own kitchen, cupboards and tiles. CAPRICORN: Sole Mandate: R950 000: Not afraid of a renovation? Lovely 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home with wooden parque flooring in need of a do-up. Stand is 1 573m². WELGELEGEN: R690 000: A 3 bedr, 1½ bathroom townhouse with 1 garage is awaiting your family as its owner. BENDOR: R450 000: Build your own house on this 772m² erf. Well located.

uying your first home is both an exciting and stressful experience and the joy of owning your own home can sometimes be overshadowed by the concerns that come with acquiring the associated debt. Mr Rhys Dyer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ooba provided ten tips to take the pain out of the process. 1. Save up for a deposit. This is one of the most important things you can do to help yourself obtain a bond at a good rate. The more money you put in at the beginning, the less you will owe and the more inclined a bank will be to take a risk on you. 2. Be certain of what you can afford. The amount of credit the bank will give you depends on how much you earn, your expenses and the leftover disposable income you have to service the debt. Most banking and bond originator websites have a calculator which will work out how much you can afford. 3. Get prequalified. If you get prequalified for mortgage finance, you’ll

know what you can afford, and you’ll be in a stronger position to make an offer when you find the perfect home. 4. Seek professional advice. Listen to your friends and family, but also seek the help of a reputable bond originator who are experts in home finance and bond applications, and will give you impartial advice. 5. Shop around for your home: Spend some time educating yourself about what’s available in the market. Don’t buy in haste, without considering the alternatives. When you have a sense of what’s out there, you’ll be able to make better decisions as an informed buyer. 6. Shop around for a bond: Don’t just snap up the first bond offer you receive from the first bank you apply to. Another bank might offer you a better deal. A reputable bond originator will apply to multiple banks for your home loan simultaneously, ensuring that you get the best deal at no extra cost to you, with less hassle and paperwork. 7. Understand all the costs involved

upfront, like levies and transfers fees. If you haven’t prepared for these, you could be in for a nasty surprise. 8. Be aware of the hidden costs and defects of any property: Look out for anything that is not working properly, from faulty wiring to subsiding walls. If you want to make an offer, bring in a specialist to inspect plumbing, electrics and structure, with particular attention to the roof. If he uncovers something, it doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t buy the property, but it puts you in a position to negotiate on the price. 9. Repay as much as you can into your bond every month: By just putting in a few extra hundred Rand a month you can save yourself thousands over a 20 year bond term. 10. Know the difference between occupation and possession: It is not your house until the transfer is registered at the deeds office. If you spend money on alterations before this happens, you could lose all the money you spent if the transfer doesn’t go through.

Roelf Matlala left Limpopo twelve years ago in search of distant pastures to sustain his passion for acting. Over the past decade he has toured the world and his journey has taken him to venues such as West End, the Edinburgh Festival and Off-Broadway, but it is to the quiet of Limpopo that he returns to work on scriptwriting, study a character for an upcoming play or regain his energy whenever necessary. His role in Amajuba, a production by Yael Farber that resulted in him touring the world from 2006 to 2008 and won the International Drama Desk Award nomination for best production, has added to his repertoire of roles he has portrayed over the past more than a decade. An actor who also does voiceovers and radio dramas, he is an all-rounder whose versatility comes to the fore in his portrayal of roles in sitcoms, comedies, stage performances, radio documentaries and dramas and lately small appearances in popular soapie Generations. The dynamics of the theatre industry clearly dictate his life. He expressed his biggest wish – for Limpopo to have its own theatre – in an interview while in Polokwane for the staging of Man Alone. The production raised huge interest among local theatre lovers and the cast was due for appearances in outlying areas across the province while workshops were also in the planning. In 2007 he took another play, Birthday, to Grahamstown after a maiden performance during a two-day mini-festival in Sekhukhune and he hoped if all went well he could bring it back to the province in due course. Aligned with his desire to see a booming theatre industry getting off the ground in Limpopo is the development of local artists. The lack of a theatre in the province gives rise to the possibility of actors being exploited. “Here the people do it for the love of acting. Just one theatre here and the future would be great,” he exclaimed. Matlala said he had noticed Limpopo lacked entertainment options, especially theatre. Expressing the opinion that the theatre industry in Limpopo was equally divided with certain names claiming the spotlight, he would want to change the current mindset to create a theatre-going audience. Therefore moving back home would be tantamount to professional suicide, but in the meantime he would still endeavour to plough back into his province of origin. For the time being Limpopo would hence have to go without Roelf Matlala’s unassuming but dynamic presence.

Unieke mark is goed ondersteun Mariëtte Snyder >> mariette.observer@gmail.com Markgangers kon verlede week ‘n saal vol unieke handgemaakte items tydens die Handgeduntes Mark bewonder en na hartelus geskenke en Kersgeskenke aanskaf. Skilderye, eksotiese konfyt, bokmelkkaas, gebreide speelgoed en unieke fotorame was van die items wat soos soetkoek verkoop het. Me Ansie du Toit, een van die organiseerders wat fluks saam met lede van die Polokwane Breiklub skouer aan die wiel gesit het, sê sy is in haar noppies met die uitstallers van sover as Gauteng se wye verskeidenheid items wat vir ure se snuffel gesorg het. Die teetuin het smullekker eetgoed aangebied en die etensuurkonserte is goed bygewoon.

Prinsipaal van Exclusive Properties, me Michelle Engelbrecht (middel voor) met haar span agente wat uit hul pad gaan om professionele en uitmuntende diens te lewer.

PROPERTY OF THE WEEK

m ‘n besigheid soos ‘n geoliede masjien te laat loop, is nie aldag maklik nie. As al die werknemers vrouens met ewe sterk, dinamiese persoonlikhede is, is die uitdaging soveel groter. Me Michelle Engelbrecht, prinsipaal van Exclusive Properties en haar bekwame span floreer duidelik daarop. “Dit kan nogal ‘n uitdaging wees, maar elkeen het unieke eienskappe. Dit is lekker om met mense te werk wat hul opinies met selfvertroue kan lewer,” sê sy met ‘n breë glimlag. Sy het nie doelbewus net vrouens aangestel nie. “Dit het net so gebeur,” vertel sy. Sy sê hoewel hulle vriende op kantoor is, trap hulle nie na ure mekaar se drumpels deur nie. “Ons deel wel in mekaar se lief en leed en ken elkeen se omstandighede. Ons is saam trots op ons kinders se prestasies en vee ‘n traan af as dinge nie so goed gaan nie.” Engelbrecht vertel dat die ideaal is dat hulle almal die dag saam op kantoor kan begin. Dit werk egter nie altyd uit nie omdat die eiendomsmark nie vir jou wag om eers koffie te drink nie. “Ons almal het gesinne wat ook tyd verg, maar werk hard om ons lewens gebalanseerd te hou.” Sy sien haarself nie as ‘n baas nie omdat

haar eiendomsagente hul eie besighede onder Exclusive Properties se vaandel bestuur. “Die dinamika is anders. Elke agent moet hard werk om die einde van die maand haar begroting te laat klop. Ek glo in elkeen van hulle en weet dat hulle nie tyd mors met onbenullighede nie.” Die span is elke dag in netjiese kantoordrag met dieselfde kleurskemas geklee en word tussen ander uitgeken as Exclusive Propertiesagente wat hul professionaliteit en eiesoortige beeld uitdra. “ Ons besluit saam wat ons as kantoordrag gaan aankoop en die kleurskemas werk gelukkig vir ons almal en skep ‘n eenheid.” Omdat die agentskap nie deel van ‘n nasionale kantoor is nie, moet hulle self hul bemarking behartig wat soms ‘n groot uitdaging is. “Ons hou egter daarvan om ons eie ding te doen. Ons is betrokke by die gemeenskap en ken ons kliënte beter as ‘n bemarkingspan iewers in Johannesburg of Kaapstad,” vertel sy. Hul motto is: “Beperkings is vir mense wat dit toelaat en ‘n verskoning vir diegene wat dit nodig het. Ons leef nie met verskonings nie,” sê sy. Engelbrecht sien haarself oor tien jaar as ‘n leier in die eiendomsmark. “Omdat huiskoop vir die meeste mense die grootste enkele belegging in hul lewens is, streef ons daarna om hulle tevrede te stel tydens die koop en daarna. Ons is hier om te bly en die gemeenskap moet weet dat ons daar is om hul drome en ideale realiteite te maak.”

been steadily climbing.” Apart from the physical and emotional trauma, it can also put financial pressure on your ability to maintain the lifestyle you are accustomed to. “Although many medical aid schemes offer great benefits for the treatment of a dreaded disease like cancer, there are other factors clients often overlook. Depending on the treatment, and the severity of your diagnosis, your ability to work and earn an income might be affected,” Barnard is also quoted to have said that many clients do not make provision for such an eventuality, causing the added burden of financial insecurity and constraint. Dread disease cover is one of the most complex financial products available on the market. Making sure you have the right cover, at the right price, can be challenging. “Getting financial advice from a professional is absolutely crucial to ensure that your particular needs and circumstances are provided for,” he said. When choosing dread disease cover, your financial adviser can be your best friend. “A good adviser can help you make the right choices and help you understand exactly what is covered.

PAC to host triathlon and cross country workshop Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Polokwane Athletic Club (PAC) will be hosting an evening workshop at their clubhouse at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium on 14 November to introduce the local running fraternity to duathlon, triathlon, cross country and trail running events. These disciplines cater for all age groups starting from 12 years up to 65 years with runners participating against each other in different age groups with intervals of five years. Speakers during the evening will be Willie Smit and Leon Bannau, both well known in Limpopo for their involvement in athletics, as participants and trainers. All of the mentioned running disciplines will form part of the other short and ultra running disciplines already available at PAC. The new disciplines can be registered for from mid- December 2013. PAC plans to subsidise a portion

of the affiliation costs that must be paid to Gauteng North Triathlon from its development fund. Limpopo is currently not affiliated to Triathlon South Africa (TSA) and takes part at the South African Championships in the colours of Gauteng North Triathlon (GNT). The aim will be to affiliate directly with TSA once there is enough support for duathlon and triathlon in the province. A duathlon event is planned for early December 2013 in Polokwane in order to identify individuals whose names will be supplied to GNT for inclusion in the GNT team that will participate in the national championships which is scheduled for 8 and 9 March 2014 in Gauteng. Attendance for the event is open to all interested parties and is offered free of charge. Please contact Willie Smit on 083 604 1659, Leon Bannau on 082 455 7244 or Johan van Vuuren on 083 277 2505 for further information.

Plaaslike junior boog skutter die beste in die wêreld >> Wil Proteas eendag in buiteland verteenwoordig Warren Blunt

ohan Liebenberg is groot en sterk vir ‘n veertienjarige en met reg breëbors omdat hy onlangs ‘n eerste plek in die Wêreld Boogskiet Kampioenskappe in Potchefstroom behaal het. Die junior kategorie word deur boogskutters van 13 tot 17 jaar uitgespook en die graad 8- leerder van die Hoërskool Pietersburg, wat in die begin van die jaar van Kuruman in die Noord-Kaap na Polokwane verhuis het, het bo verwagting eerste in die junior afdeling geëindig en met boogskutters van 17 lande in Potchefstroom afgereken. Johan het sy eerste boog van sy pa in graad 3 gekry en het eers geleer om in die oop vlaktes van die Noord-Kaap te jag voordat hy aan kompetisies begin deelneem het toe hulle familie na Limpopo verhuis het waar hy nou lid van Archers for Afrika Boogskietklub is.” Van kleins af het hy ‘n goeie oog en al die eienskappe van ‘n wêreldgehalte boogskutter gehad en hard geoefen om homself in die uitdagende sportsoort te bewys,” sê sy ma, Nellie. Met sy eerste kompetisie in Tzaneen aan die begin van 2013 was hy heel verbaas om ‘n eerste plek te kry. Die avontuurlustige tiener hou van

boogskiet omdat dit hom help om te fokus en te ontspan. “Boogskiet is ‘n individuele sport waar sukses of mislukking van jou as ‘n individu afhang. As jy die dag sleg skiet, kan jy niemand anders behalwe jouself blameer nie omdat jy nie deel van ‘n span is nie. Die regte tegniek is ook baie belangrik en die akkurate skatting van afstand speel ‘n groot rol in kompetisies.” “Jy moet ‘n lid van ‘n geregistreerde boogskietklub wees om in aanmerking vir enige medalje tydens kompetisies te kom,” sê Johan. Die wêreldkampioen moes verlede jaar dié duur les leer toe hy ‘n tweede plek in die Suid-Afrikaanse kampioenskappe behaal het, maar sy medalje kwyt is omdat hy nie ‘n lid van die South African National Indoor & Field Archers Association was nie. Sy ouers het vanjaar verseker dat hy by ‘n geregistreerde klub in Limpopo aansluit om in aanmerking vir Suid-Afrikaanse- en Limpopo-kleure te kom. By die junior wêreldkampioenskappe in Potchefstroom het hy hom nie laat afskrik deur sy opponente nie en konsentrasie behou om telkens die teikens kolskoot te tref. Die teikens het bestaan uit twee- en drie dimensionele nagemaakte diere wat op verskeie plekke van die baan was. “Die belangrikste vereiste om sukses te behaal, is om elke dag te

oefen. Probeer om die beste toerusting aan te skaf en pyl na pyl presies dieselfde posisie, balans en styl te handhaaf,” is sy advies vir jong belangstellendes. Sy doelwit is om Protea-kleure te verwerf en aan ‘n kompetisie in die buiteland deel te neem terwyl hy nog ‘n junior is. Johan besoek ook gereeld die gimnasium om sy arms en skouers te versterk om 30,8 kg gemaklik met sy boog te kan trek terwyl hy doodstil staan.
