ConCourt hears about Bapedi kingship On Tuesday 26 August 2014 at 10h00 the Constitutional Court heard an application for leave to appeal against a judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal concerning the validity of the decision taken by the Commissioner of Traditional Leadership Disputes and Claims (the first respondent) regarding the Bapedi Kingship. The dispute was between the Mampuru royal family and the Sekhukhune royal family. Having considered the evidence before it, the Commissioner ruled that the Mampuru royal family had lost the kingship 150 years ago to the Sekhukhune royal family in 1861. Instead of taking the challenge of Sekhukhune, to fight for the kingship, Mampuru II fled and sought refuge from another traditional community. He later returned and killed Sekhukhune I but did not ascend the throne. The Commissioner, therefore, determined that the kingship resorts in the lineage of Sekhukhune I. The Mamone Royal House (the applicant) unsuccessfully brought an application under the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act to review the Commissioner’s decision. in the High Court arguing that it was irrational and based on an incorrect application of the rule that kingship could be usurped through “might and bloodshed”. The Mamone Royal House’s appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal was also not successful. In this Court the Mamone Royal House persists with its contention that the Commissioner acted irrationally, failed to take relevant facts into account and deviated from the principle of primogeniture by which succession to traditional leadership is established. The Commissioner argues that the customary law rule of usurpation through might and bloodshed was established and applied rationally in determining where the Bapedi kingship lay. The court reserved judgment.

Giving the youth a passport to the future Passport to Future Project, a youth career development initiative of the Olifants River Water Resources Development Project Phase 2C (ORWRDP-2C), held a cocktail function on the 21st of August at the Winterveld Recreation Club. The purpose of the cocktail was to publicise the project to potential employers. Representatives from mining companies, government and businesses attended the event. The project manager, Mr Jimmy Mnisi gave a brief presentation of the project alluding to all employers to not look further than Passport to Future for permanent employees, interns or learnerships. Project beneficiaries have technical qualifications which include, amongst others, electrical, mechanical and industrial engineering, and welding. Other qualifications include office administration, human resources, home based care, basic ambulance assistance and others. Some participants only have matric/Grade 12 certificates but they are just as motivated and hard working as those with post matric qualifications. An appeal was also made to different institutions for participants who would like to study beyond matric/ grade 12 to pass on bursaries, study loans, apprenticeships, and learnerships etc. ORWRDP-2C is planning a career expo for Grade 10 – 12 learners from the 15th to 17th of September 2014. Mines, municipalities (various departments), hospitality enterprises, finance houses, retail companies and all other companies are invited to attend and give talks on different career paths available in their industries. Different representatives from
various universities, technikons, colleges and Further Education and Training (FET) colleges will be present to assist with academic applications, bursaries and loan applications. Passport to Future Project appealed to all employers in every industry to assist in alleviating poverty and unemployment in communities, by developing the youth and giving them a head start in the different career paths they wish to follow. Enquiries: 013 230 4131/4135 (Information: Passport to the Future Project).

Take care of sprains and strains
Steve Ramaila is your friendly pharmacist at Pharmacy at Spar.
Your body is made up of many parts, but your ligaments and tendons surround the joints of the body. When a joint gets twisted beyond normal, the tendons and ligaments become stretched and may even tear slightly. The body responds to this injury by releasing chemicals in the area causing swelling. This can also occur when the muscles are damaged. Common treatments for sprains include rest, ice, compression and elevation. Limit the use of your injured body part. Initially apply ice to the injury. Ice should not be left longer than 20 minutes at a time and can be used several times a day. Use a bandage to wrap around the injury. Don’t wrap it too tightly. This well help prevent too much swelling. Elevate the injury above your heart when possible. This will also assist with the prevention of swelling. Your local pharmacy stock a variety of bandages and cooling ointments that can be applied to a sprain. Ask your friendly pharmacisit for the best options available.

Something for everyone The Winterveld Festival 2014 had something for everyone. The two days were filled with fun and excitement. Many prizes were won and even a few donations were given away. Read more about this on page 11.
Every participating team in the potjiekos competition was also judged on their decor and team spirit. Tubatse SUPERSPAR sponsored the competition and it took the form of a Master chef kitchen and pantry.
Saturday kicked off with the soapbox derby. This was as tradition dictates, one of the highlights of the festival. There was more than enough entertainment for the kids. An amusement park kept them busy for hours.
The talent competition drew a few very high quality entries. Visitors had lots of stalls to browse through (like the Westvaal one on the right). The Strongman competition had the crowd in awe, with some of the locals also trying their hands at lifting the weights. The paintball competition took place on Friday and was great fun.
Armand the Singing Cowboy had the crowd in awe with what he and his horse could do.

Remember Casual Day next week Friday! Bring out the Bling: Casual Day is on Friday 5 September 2014. Casual Day provides the country with the opportunity to show their solidarity with persons with disabilities, at the same time enjoying teambuilding and camaraderie with their fellow participants. “The theme is appropriately celebratory,” says Project Leader Celeste Vinassa. “We have been dressing casually for the past two decades, but this year is a special occasion. We thank all the celebrities who have helped us raise awareness for our project, including every Miss SA for the last 19 years. Rolene Strauss, the current Miss SA has also shown her support for Casual Day.“So our message to you is to rustle up a little razzle dazzle, and dress up in the official colour of the year, dazzle blue. Casual Day is all about fantasy and dressing up in things you can find around the house. Be creative with glitter, fabric, shiny paper or just wear your sticker and a posh casual attitude!”
Mr Mike Nell (right) was the lucky winner of a Weber braai in a national competition by Shell. To enter clients had to buy a specific type of oil over the course of the last three months. This is available from Supa Quick Burgersfort. Mr Stanley Hayes handed him his prize.
