Rowers val lodge aan Skiet bestuurder dood
DIE nagbestuurder van die vakansieoord Tikwe Lodge is Dinsdagoggend by die kantoor doodgeskiet nadat rowers twee sekuriteitsbeamptes oorval het. Die groep rowers het een van die sekuriteitsbeamptes vasgemaak en die ander een gedwing om Tefo Mokhesang (46) te roep sodat hy die kantoor kan oopsluit. Roelof Stolz, eienaar van Tikwe, sê Mokhesang is in die kop geskiet toe hy oopsluit, waarna die rowers drank, sigarette en rekenaars gebuit en die hele brandkluis met geld weggedra het. Die groep van tussen 15 en 17 rowers het waarskynlik vermoed dat daar baie geld in die kluis sou wees omdat ’n jazz-fees die naweek daar gehou is, die plek vol bespreek was en die banke Sondag en Maandag toe was. Sers. Mamello Mokhuoane, polisiewoordvoerder, sê die rowers het omstreeks 02:00 met hul motors ’n hele ent van die waghuis by Tikwe se hek stilgehou. Hulle het die manlike sekuriteitswag in die waghuis oorval en vasgebind terwyl hulle die vroulike wag na die hoofgebou gedwing het. Hulle het haar aangesê om Mokhesang te roep terwyl hulle agter ’n muur geskuil het. Mokhesang is geskiet net nadat hy die deur oopgesluit en die rowers die gebou ingestorm het. Moord en gewapende roof word ondersoek. Enigiemand met inligting word gevra om kapt. Ben Strydom by 082-461-1447 te bel.

Locals demand fair chance Refilwe Mochoari MEMBERS of the Matjhabeng business community were unable to deliver their memorandum of grievances to the mayor, Sebenzile Ngangelizwe, on Wednesday morning during a protest action. Approximately 60 angry people attended the march and said they wanted a reshuffling of the municipal council and the removal of German Ramathebane, the municipal manager. The marchers departed from the Thabong Community Hall and walked to the offices of the Matjhabeng Municipality. Tokonya Ramatsa, the organiser and leader of the march, said they were very disappointed with
Ngangelizwe because he had known they were supposed to hand over their memorandum of grievances to him. “We came out in numbers to raise our views as the community, but no one came to listen or even accept the memorandum. We are very disappointed, but will make sure that we march again soon. We have to inform the officials of Matjhabeng that as business owners and community members we are unhappy,” he said. The memorandum stated that they wanted an end to corruption within the municipality, that tendering processes should be transparent and that businesspeople from Matjhabeng should be
given businesses instead of it being given to people who were not from Matjhabeng. “We are tired of being sidelined as people of Matjhabeng,” said Sechaba Matsau, another organiser. “There is too much corruption and it needs to end now. We are aware that most senior managers in the municipality are acting in their positions. “We would like these people to be given permanent positions. “We are also furious because businesspeople from outside Matjhabeng are benefiting more than us. “We want the municipality to ensure that the youth of Matjhabeng are hired, we cannot

have qualified youths unemployed while jobs are given to people without qualifications. “We are also asking them to give small businesses their support. “The Department of Housing is corrupt because RDP houses and hostels are being sold to foreigners while the people from Matjhabeng live in shacks. “The livestock of our farmers are being impounded because they do not have land. The farmers are willing to rent available land, but they cannot do so because corrupt officials are occupying the land. “Lastly, we are asking for a clean audit for the municipality,” Matsau said.
