For those not in the know, Eddie Sedibe is the street’s name in Burgersfort where this light delivery vehicles (bakkies) loaded with fruit and vegetables, park to sell to everybody. Eddie Sedibe Fruit and Veg Bakkies, hawkers who sell fruit and vegetables from the loadbeds of their vehicles and also members of the newly established Greater Tubatse Hawkers Association.

After years of rivalry, animosity and even court cases between members of rival organisations, hawkers organisations in the Greater Tubatse Municipality this week finally buried the battle axes and agreed to unite and form one organisation (photograph top left). The new organisation, known from now on as the Tubatse Hawkers Association, pledged to work with the Greater Tubatse Municipality’s Local Economic Development (LED) section to regulate and develop this informal business sector in Burgersfort. The president of the new united organisation is well- known local businessman, Mr Jackson Tjatjie (photograph bottom, right). The seat of the new hawkers’ organisation will be the original hawkers office in Eddie Sedibe Street (photograph top right). An interim committee will steer the new organisation towards maturity when a a new committee will be elected early in 2014. In the meantime Mr Patrick Lekwadu (in the top right photograph in front of the office on the left),will be the interim chairman, who will work with Mr Nelson Mokgotho of the LED office and Mr Sam Maphanga (interim chairman of the disciplinary committee (right). The person in the centre between Mr Lekwadu and Mr Maphanga is the coordinator for the hawkers to register for permits, Mr Mohlala. He can be contacted at 082 670 1216. At this stage about 165 hawkers are registered with the municipality and pay hawkers’ fees of R120 per year. Registration takes place on a continuous basis and hawkers are welcome to enquire at the hawkers office in Eddie Sedibe Street about registration. This office will be in operation from Monday 15 July 2013. Other good news is that hawkers whose stalls had been demolished at the old taxi rank in Burgersfort a year ago, will receive new 3 metre x 3 metre gazebos soon. At that stage the demolished stalls lead to widespread protests that closed the town for business for two days.

De Hoop Dam receives construction award The De Hoop Dam project received the 2013 Fulton award. The dam is currently 97% complete, with 6% of Water stored currently as a result of fourth stage River diversion. The Project has lost the contract manager, Mr. Johan Van Niekerk. Mr. Van Niekerk met his untimely death through car accident on the 3rd of June in Roossenekal. During his tenure, the project broke the African record by placing 103 000 m3 of concrete in 20 days in 2010. The same happened the following year by placing 130 000 m3 of concrete in 28 days. This year, 2013, the project was nominated for a Fulton Award in three categories. That is Civil Engineering, Sustainable Concrete and Innovative Construction. The 2013 Fulton Awards Event took place on the 8th June 2013 during which the winners were announced, and the De Hoop Dam was announced the winner of the two of the three categories - Civil Engineering Structure and Sustainable Concrete. This is regarded as a major achievement for the entire Project Team, and was possible by all the Employees working together as a team. “The Project Team made the people of South Africa in general and those of Limpopo in particular, very proud� said Mr Johannes Segafa from the Department of Water Affairs.

Fine tuning the lights A team of workers fine tuned the traffic lights at the two entrances to the Tubatse Crossing Mall this week. Heavy traffic backed up in long queues because of the lights not staying green long enough for the congested lanes. This was a problem every afternoon and especially during month end when peak traffic in town is experienced. The traffic lights will now provide a more evenly timed sequence to ease the problem.
The Fulton awards began as tribute to Dr Sandy Fulton for his contribution towards understanding concrete. Through the Fulton Awards the Concrete Society recognises innovation and excellence in the industry. The awards are made every second year in six different categories. The Awards consider major projects in Southern Africa when chosing finalists and winners.
Curb stone trouble continues
This truck was photographed on Tuesday in Steelpoort where it was parked in front of a sign prohibiting vehicles from parking there, with its tyres on the newly placed curb stones. These stones have been pushed out of place shortly after they were installed and continues to be damaged as truck drive over them. Unfortunately there is no backing behind the stones to keep them upright and prevent easy damage.

What is your opinion about the On Tuesday this week President Jacob Zuma reshuffled his cabinet. Three ministers lost their jobs - Communications Minister Dina Pule, Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale and Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Richard Baloyi. Transport Minister Ben Martins became the new energy minister, switching places with Dipuo Peters. Lechesa Tsenoli will now be the Minister for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Yunus Carrim the Communications Minister and Human Settlements Minister Connie September. Four deputy ministers were also changed. John Jeffrey is now the Deputy Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Michael Masutha is now the Deputy Minister for Science and Technology, Andries Nel is the Deputy Minister for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs and Pamela Tshwete is the new Deputy Minister for Rural Development and Land Reform. The President through his spokesman, Mac Maharaj said: “The presidency wishes to remind opinion-makers that the President of the Republic uses his prerogative when appointing members of the national executive. He does not need to provide reasons”. The changes drew wide spread reaction from political parties and unions - both positive and negative. We asked readers how they feel about the changes made on Tuesday?
Mr Bongi Nkosi said: “He should have informed the people why he is making the changes before he did it. We don’t know why it happened. We are in the dark in the ANC”.
Mr Collins Matjie said: “It is bad this reshuffle. I don’t think he will manage to complete his term as ANC president. Remember what they did to Mbeki? The same may happen to him. The people are talking about that. Maybe by 2018 there will be another good leader”.
Mr Saul Sehlabela said: “He fired those who know a lot about him. He is dictating. He is scared they will give some of that information away. I think it is a bad thing this reshuffle”.
Mr Sam Chiote said: “He must give reasons. He cannot chase people away without reasons. I’m worried. I am a worker and if the president can just without reason chase people away from their jobs, other bosses may want to do the same to their people. Maybe there was corruption and he decided to dismiss these people before it can come out”.
Ms Frieda Manoke said: “I think he is afraid because we are heading for elections. He wants us to think that he was doing his job. He should have fired Angie Motshekga!”.
Mr Thami Malope said: “The President realized that some of the people were doing corruption. He wanted to clean them out before the elections”.
Mr Billy Mnisi and Ms Kgaogelo Mnisi said: “It is not right. Those people knew the job and now it will take time for the new people to get to know all the stuff. We worry too much because many things may now change and some careers are now destroyed”.
Mr Joseph Magabe said: “The changes are not fair. Tokyo Sexwale has done a good job - since the time of President Mandela. Zuma should be giving reasons because it looks to us like some of them were doing a good job. Like Tokyo cleaned up Johannesburg and here in the rural areas like Burgersfort we were waiting for him to come and do the same. Manoke is the nearest rural area to town and must get preference to be renovated”.
Mr Michael Mnisi said: “I think we are facing the elections and if he carry on with these people there is the possibility of losing his position. His focus is also on people who were were against him at Mangaung”.
Me. Lee Stopforth sê: “Ek kyk nie meer nuus nie. Dit ontstel my net te veel, so ek weet nie eintlik iets van die politiek af nie. Skommeling raak my nie. Hy kan doen wat hy wil, ek dink ook nie ander se opinie maak vir Zuma saak nie”.

cabinet reshuffle this week?
Mr Rex Sedikane said: “I’m not happy with the changes. He should have kept them until after the elections next year. He cannot change without a reason”.
Mr Lucky Ngobeni said: “I’m not ok with the changes. I don’t understand why he did that. He must give us good reasons why he changed these people”.
Mr Andy Mohloke and Mr Benjamin Moima said: “Tokyo Sexwale was against Jacob Zuma at Mangaung. Zuma made a mistake. Now he is giving Tokyo a chance to mobilise against him with guys like Malema. Whether he should have axed Angie Motshekga or not we think it is premature to judge”.
Mr Charles Moroke said: “I think if he had reasons it was good, but to change just because of a personal matter will not be right. There are things which is not public so we cannot really judge on whether it is good or bad he reshuffled”.
Mr Sendy Masia said: “He should not have changed the cabinet. He must have kept all the ministers. Zuma must give reasons why he fired Tokyo Sexwale and the others”.
Mr Makhanda Maphanga said: “Those people who thought Angie Motshekga should have been fired should not put all the blame on her for the textbook debacle. There are many black children who do not have resources. I also don’t think Ben Martin should have been changed. The rest are ok”.
Me. Allison van der Berg sê: “Dit maak nie vir my saak wat hy doen nie. Jy argumenteer nie en raak nie betrokke nie”.
Ms Sizane Mkhize said: “I think he is just getting rid of those who gave Malema information. He is scared. There are big changes in the ANC. We don’t know which ANC it is now. It is bad, we don’t know why he changed the ministers because he did not comment. Some of the questions that was asked about it he could not answer. South Africa is falling apart. I’m scared”. With her is Xolani.
Me. Marlene Lombard sê: “Ek het nie eers geweet daar was veranderinge nie. Zuma is deesdae so ‘n voorbeeldige president. Ek dink wel hy moet iets met Angie Motshekga gedoen het. Die handboek ding was ‘n groot issue”. By haar is haar hondjie, Meisiekind.

The final score: Tubatse Masters 2 and Thohoyandou Stamina Free Masters 3. Derrick Phokane of Tubatse Masters was named the Man of the Match. (Information & Photographs: Jerial Movundlela).
