Tshikota boy (10) reunited with mother A 10-year-old boy from Tshikota was reunited mother, Ester Mukangamwi, had asked him to with his mother, after he had disappeared go back to find the cell phone he had lost when some two months ago. The boy, Thavhonga he was visiting a friend in Eltivillas.

Chivhenge, disappeared shortly after his According to his mother, a Zimbabwean citizen, the boy was probably afraid he was going to get a hiding if he returned without his cell phone. He opted rather to spend the night in Eltivillas along with other homeless people. The following day, Thavhonga was recruited by an unknown man who took him to Polokwane and promised to find him a place to stay. From what could be gathered, the man couldn’t find a place for him to stay in Polokwane and then took him to Thohoyandou.

Mukangamwi said that the man had apparently tried to find a place for her boy to stay in Thohoyandou, but when this seemed unlikely, the two returned to Polokwane, where Thavhonga was dumped at the local taxi rank.

“He told me that while he was at the taxi rank, a man gave him R10 to buy bread and he took him to another woman, who took Thavhonga to her home. He was then taken to a place of safety by social workers in Polokwane and was enrolled at a school in January. When we went to the centre, he was still at school,” she explained.

Mukangamwi said that, with the help of Sister Rosa from the Roman Catholic Church, she managed to find her son unharmed. She said that Sister Rosa suggested they look for the boy at the Polokwane taxi rank, because there are many children roaming the streets of Polokwane.

Mukangamwi is relieved that her child is back at home and in school now. “I never thought I could lose my child over a phone. I could not sleep and had to take sleeping pills at night. My fellow Zimbabwean citizens laughed at me, saying my landlord and I had sold my child,” she said.

10-year-old Thavhonga Chivhenge was found in Makhado police spokesperson Captain Maano Polokwane after he had gone missing for more Sadiki confirmed that the child had been reported than a month. missing and that he is now back with his mother.

Ten people killed in horror-crash Among the carnage of Tuesday morning’s horror crash which left 10 people dead, a child stood crying helplessly for his mother. The accident occurred near Bandelierkop on the N1 south.

According to police information, the accident took place just after 06:00 when a truck collided with a minibus taxi that was carrying passengers to Zimbabwe.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the truck driver was on the wrong side of the road, when the truck’s trailer hooked the trailer of the passing minibus. Almost instantly, both the truck and minibus spun out

of control and left the road.

The truck driver was crushed to death behind the steering wheel on impact. The minibus overturned, leaving nine people dead on the scene.

Makhado police spokesperson Capt Maano Sadike later confirmed that of these deceased, seven were male, one female and one was a little boy. All were Zimbabweans on their way from Johannesburg to the border.

A further 15 passengers were rushed to the Elim and Louis Trichardt state hospital for treatment. Among them was the truck’s co-driver. He managed to escape with minor injuries.

While rescue workers were franticly trying to assist injured passengers next to the road, traffic piled up for several kilometres in both directions. The road remained closed for several hours, with police awaiting the arrival of a special investigation unit from Johannesburg. It was reopened around midday.

A case of culpable homicide is being investigated. In the meantime, South African police are working closely with Home Affairs to try and identify the bodies of the deceased. “We are also trying to re-unite the surviving passengers with their families in Zimbabwe,” said Sadike.

An injured passenger from the minibus taxi is carried to a waiting ambulance. Ten people died in the horrific accident on Tuesday.

Destitute pupils of the Munzhedzi Primary School in Vleifontein received school uniforms from the mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr Mavhungu Luruli. The event took place at the school premises last Thursday.

Ramantsha shop robbed on Sunday The SAPS at Tshilwavhusiku have opened a robbery docket, following an incident at Ha-Ramantsha village in the Sinthumule area on Sunday evening (5 February).

According to the police statement, when the shop owner, Mr Mohammud Abdullah, closed the shop, everything was in good order and the gate was properly locked at 20:30. At about 02:00 next morning, Mr Mohammud heard footsteps outside and he

went to he window to investigate.

Suddenly, two gunshots were fired through the window. These went past him and hit the wall.

The security door was forced open and two persons entered.

They took two cell phones, R3 000 and airtime vouchers to the value of about R2 000. While running away from the scene of the crime, the unknown thieves left two pairs of shoes and a hat behind.

The spokesperson for the

Tshilwavhusiku police, Const Musiwalo Mahuwa, confirmed the case of business robbery and is calling upon members of community with information that could lead to the identification and arrest of suspects to come forward. “It seems that the rate of crime is beginning to get high in our area now,” he said.

“We need the community to assist us in cases like this one.

“Mayor Mavhungu Luruli must now step down” - ANCYL tised,” said Nelwamondo.

Nelwamondo added that some tenders were awarded to companies which charged the highest prices, but scored the lowest tender points.

This is contrary to what the evaluation committee had recommended, he said.

He gave the example of the recent diary tender which created the stalemate between management and SAMWU. He said the mayor used her office "to dispense patronage to comrades, promising them jobs and tenders, which are aimed at dividing our structures.

Luruli does that in order to serve her own narrow personal interests," said Nelwamondo.

“Since the induction of the mayor the relationship between workers, management and the political man-

agement team has collapsed," said Nelwamondo. He further said that service delivery had been severely compromised due to the lack of leadership and that there were in-fighting and mismanagement of funds within the municipality.

In an interview with Limpopo Mirror, DA councillor Itani Sikhwari said that the mayor had been elected to serve the people and not to enrich herself.

He said that if the ANC found any truth to the allegation, they must fire her. “We are elected by the community to serve the people with dignity," he said.

"A mayor is a political leader in the municipality; she must know that.

Municipal officers are forced to do wrong things because they fear her as the political leader. As DA, we appeal

to the ANC to deploy her somewhere else. We are tired of people who don't care about other people," he said.

Sikhwari says that he neither tolerated nor accepted any form of service delivery failure. The corrupt officials must be dealt with firmly, for any form of corruption and mismanagement is always to the detriment of the community.

The provincial spokesperson of the ANC, Mr Makonde Mathivha, said that as the movement they had not received any formal letter from the youth league. “We heard this news from the media”, said Mathivha. He said that the mayor was deployed by the ANC and the organisition was the one that had the power to employ and redeploy.

"After we received a formal complaint, we will investigate," he said.

The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in Vhembe is calling for the mayor of Makhado Municipality, Cllr Mavhungu Luruli, to step down voluntarily.

This call was made during a press conference held at a local hotel last Wednesday.

The chairperson, Mr Rolivhuwa Nelwamondo, said that the youth noted with disbelief the "blatant disregard of proper management of the municipality and complete lack of leadership by Luruli". He added that the members of the youth league had noted "the rampant corruption of the mayor in allocation of tenders, in that normal procument procedures are intercepted from time, where tenders are given to companies which are owned by those close to her family and friends, without being adver-

Man dies in fire at Maebane village A resident of Maebane village's new stands, Mr Given Ramovha (24), was burnt beyond recognition in his singleroom shack on Sunday night.

His mother, Ms Flora Ramovha, who stays in the old section of Maebane, about 2km away from her son's stand, said that she was only alerted by her younger sister about the incident. Even though the shack burnt down completely with all of Given’s belongings, she was able to identify the remains as those of her son.

Spokesperson for the Tshilwavhusiku police Const Musiwalo Mahuwa confirmed the

incident and said that an inquest docket had been opened, following the death of Ramovha.

“The cause of the fire is still unknown,” Mahuwa said.

Mr Lazarus Mutomoli, the deceased's father, said that his son had died a painful death.

“He was last seen drinking beer around the village with some of his aunts before he went to his shack that night,” he said in a sad and mournful voice.

“We are not certain about the cause of fire in his shack. It’s sad. I even dread to imagine the pain my son felt when the fire ate his flesh.” According to the police statement, fire

brigade from the Makhado Fire Station had responded to the call, but by the time they arrived, Ramovha had already died. Meanwhile, the rescue vehicle released to respond to the incident in question had an accident on the way when it skidded off the road. Another vehicle had to be released for help, said the Makhado Fire Station's divisional officer, Mr Jack Ramalatso.

Mahuwa requested members of the community with information pertaining to this case to contact the station commander at 082 451 7163 or 015 519 6000.

Crime

Another daring robbery in industrial area The police are still following up on leads, following a daring robbery at a business in the industrial part of Louis Trichardt.

Ash Cash and Carry in Unika Street was the target of a gang of robbers who made use of explosives to blow open the company's safe. This happened in the early hours last Wednesday.

Makhado police spokesperson Capt Maano Sadike said a case of business robbery was being investigated.

At the time of going to press, it could not be confirmed whether the robbery at Ash Cash & Carry is connected with the robbery at the NTK/Landmark early in January.

During the robbery at Land-

mark, thousands were stolen when robbers forced their way in through the roof and cut open the safe with a blowtorch.

Capt Sadike said on Thursday that four robbers could be seen on the security videos of Ash Cash & Carry.

He said a large amount of cash and cosmetics were stolen from the safe.

DA hushed on discussing performances The Democratic Alliance was hushed when its caucus leader wanted to speak his mind on the mid-year performance assessment at the Makhado Council meeting last Tuesday.

DA caucus leader Cllr Brian du Plooy said that he was prevented from speaking on the item at the meeting. The council indicated that Du Plooy was part of the executive meeting that took the decision and he was therefore not allowed to speak. Du Plooy says that he was not part of that particular meeting.

“Clear, obvious and continuous incompetence of the municipal manager and his directors is reflected in this report and they must either step down or be removed with immediate effect,” was what Du Plooy wanted to conclude within the speech he could not deliver. Du Plooy says that, according to the mid-year performance assessment report, the directors had not been assessed quarterly as required. Duties are assigned to the municipal officers as referred to in the Act, but their responsibilities and per-

formance are inconsistent.

Du Plooy wanted to address issues of incompetence of employees in the finance department to perform basic financial administration.

“The muncipal manager is required to have proper internal control of all the departments, but he does not. The municipal manager is the accounting officer of the Makhado Municipality and he needs to manage the financial affairs and administration of this municipality – and he does not,” Du Plooy wrote in his speech.

Shift manager killed by armed robbers A cloud of sadness has fallen over the residents of Tshavhalovhedzi, following a shocking incident where an Emergency Medical Services shift manager was shot and killed by unknown criminals last Monday.

According to the police, it is alleged that the unknown criminals demanded his vehicle. It is also suspected that they had robbed a local shop in the village at gunpoint shortly before the incident.

The 40-year-old Ntavhanyeni Norman Sithubi was going into a restaurant at Sendedza when he met four heavily armed men, who allegedly demanded his car at gunpoint. Upon seeing that he was reluctant to give them his car, the suspects apparently shot him.

He was rushed to the Siloam Hospital and later transfered to Polokwane Provincial Hospital, where he died on arrival. The spokesperson for the Siloam police, W/O Edward Tharaga, said that two cases of armed robbery and a murder case have been opened.

He added that shortly before the incident, the suspects had robbed a local Somalian businessman of R2 000 and airtime vouchers to the value of R1 300 at the nearby Ha-Mavhunga village.

The four heavily armed men first tried to hijack a car at Mphephu Resort. "They fired several shots at the driver of the car, who drove away," he said.

Tharaga added that the suspects then robbed a local shop at Sendedza, where they allegedly took R2 500. "That is where they had allegedly shot Sithubi," he said.

According to Tharaga, the suspects then went to the nearby Mandiwana village, where they broke into one of the houses and stole a laptop computer, cellphones and a car. "They then fled to Matoks, where they exchanged fire with the police," said Tharaga.

He said that the suspects were still at large, while police investigations were continuing. No one had been arrested at the time of going to press.

Emergency Medical Services officers paid their last respects to Sithubi, during a memorial service that was held at Siloam Hospital last Friday.

Sithubi joined EMS in 2006 and started working at Musina EMS station. He then went to train as an intermediate life-support official in 2009. He was appointed as shift manager for EMS at Siloam Hospital in 2010.

He was laid to rest at a local cemetery in the village on Sunday.

Missing man’s body found floating in river

“Perseverance is the mother of success,” said Mr Tshinetise Siebane, the regional manager of mining (Aveng Group) during an awards ceremony at Mmilige High at Midoroni a fortnight ago. Siebane donated trophies, bags, a laptop computer and certificates to the top Grade 8 to 12 pupils at the school. From left are Munyadziwa Maraeni (Grade 8), Tumelo Majoko (Grade 9), Musiwa Sikhau (Grade 10), and Ndivhuwo Mahladisa (Grade 11).

The lifeless body of an 18-yearold man was found last Tuesday, floating in the river near Bodwe village in the Mashau area.

Ntanganedzeni Mufamadi’s body was found a day after he was reported missing. His family reported him as missing at the local police after he disappeared. Family members as well as members of the community tried to search all over for him, but to no avail. Ntanganedzeni had a mental illness, for which he received treatment.

The Levubu police spokesperson, W/O Solly Mukhola, confirmed the incident. Accord-

ing to Mukhola, members of the community often fish at the river and it may be that Ntanganedzeni had gone there thinking there would be other people fishing.

W/O Mukhola also warned local residents about the danger of reckless gossip. Apparently people were spreading rumours that parts of the young man’s body were missing when he was found.

Mukhola dismissed the claim, saying that they were blatant lies.

He said that Ntanganedzeni’s body was taken to the nearby hospital for a forensic investigation. “The forensic pathologists are still busy conducting a post mortem. The police investiga-

tion, on the other hand, is still continuing,” said Mukhola.

The deceased, Ntanganedzeni Mufamadi.

Disabled businessman laid to rest

Businessman and local cleric Pastor Johnny Khubana says the government is not doing enough to uplift the standard of life of the disabled.

Khubana, who heads the Spoken Word Bible Church in Thohoyandou, was speaking during the funeral of disabled businessman Mr Lazarus Matodzi. Matodzi’s funeral service which was held at his home in Thohoyandou and he was laid to rest at the Mbaleni cemetery, next to his home.

Matodzi passed away on 25 January. Speaker after speaker

stated that Matodzi defied all the odds in making life better for himself and his family. Businessman Goddard Mugwena, who had been assisting the deceased since 2006, said Matodzi was an industrious person, who did not take his disability as a stumbling block in his life.

In his sermon, Khubana deviated and lashed out at the government for giving disabled people leftovers when it came to business.

“I spent the whole year with some of the disabled people and I can say it now that disabled

people are not considered when it comes to big business. They only get crumbs that are left by officials.”

He said politicians would always preach that they were doing something to improve the lives of the disabled, but they were doing nothing. He added that big tenders were only for the politicians and their relatives and friends and the disabled would only be given small jobs, like catering for a few people.

Matodzi is survived by his parents, two brothers, a sister, his wife and two children.

His worry is that he has does not know his mother. Although he knows his father, Joseph Mmboneni Ntshengedzeni, Nemandala believes that things are not going well for him and his children because they do not have any link with his mother.

“My father told me he met my mother while he was still working in Brits. Her name was Mekie Moketsi.”

According to him, they separated and the court granted his father permission to look take care of him. He added that he was hardly a year old when his father brought him to Venda and left him in the care of his grandmother, Khakhu, in Mandala

village, Nzhelele.

Although he is working as a professional nurse in one of the clinics found in the Mutale area, Nemandala says there are many things that are lacking his life that make him believe that they will only end if he sees his mother.

“I did everything I could to trace my mother. After exhausting all the avenues, I have even tried contacting the producers of Khumbule Khaya on SABC 2 since 2008, with no help.

“Late last year, I visited the SABC’s offices in Auckland Park, hoping that they would help me to get through to Khumbule Khaya, but they said I should go back home and wait for my turn. Now the newspaper is my last hope.

I desperately appeal to anyone who can help me to meet my mother to come forward. Even if

she is no longer alive, I want to see her family,” says Nemandala from his home at Tshilamba.

Anyone who can help can call Nemandala at 076 414 1658 or 084 243 8259.

Please help ... Nyadzeni Solomon Nemandala is desperately looking for his mother.

Funding brings hope for Magau community As a result of unemployment and poverty, seven members of the Magau community in the Sinthumule area came together to start a cooperative five years ago.

They named it Tshumisano Poultry Primary Cooperative and the meaning of

the name is Working together.

Things were difficult when they started, but now the project is growing like never before. The project had recently received funding of R2.6million from the National Development Agency.

The cooperative was subsequently able

to secure a stand where they are currently constructing five coops for chickens. “Our aim was to grow broilers, but we are also planning to have egg-laying chickens at the project,” said the chairperson of the cooperative, Mr Sylvester Mulaudzi.

He said that getting the funding taught them a lot of things, including the fact that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

“We struggled a lot until the Limpopo Business Support Agency ( LIBSA) assisted us to register a legitimate cooperative,” he said.

Mulaudzi said that they were aiming to create more jobs for the residents at the project.

At present, four women and three men are empolyed at the cooperative. Magau is a previously disadvantaged rural vullage and falls under Ward 23 of Makhado Municipality.

Mulaudzi said that the cooperative would start operating as soon as the construction process was complete.

“We need to see this project benefiting the community. Already there are seven more community members that we had sent for training. We have already been Five chicken coops are currently under construction at the Tshumisano Poultry trained in good government and financial Primary Cooperative. management,” continued Mulaudzi.

Angry residents protest bail application Angry residents of Madombidzha village outside Louis Trichardt protested outside the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court last Friday, during the court appearance of three sangomas and other two suspects, who had allegedly kidnapped an 11-yearold boy, Theophilus Tshivhi, on 17 January this year.

The five suspects are three traditional healers, Ms Alilali Ndou (81), Ntakuseni Ndou (32) and Mrs Elizabeth Ramaremela (60), as well as Ramaremela’s 69-year-old husband, Johannes, and Sello Tlhaoele (21). They briefly appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court on a charge of stealing a child (kidnapping).

This comes after Tlhaoele, Ramaremela and her husband

Johannes had allegedly taken along Theophilus to a bush in Maname in the Nzhelele area, where they had gone to collect traditional herbs and plants.

The three allegedly met with Ntakuseni and Alilali Ndou, who are also traditional healers in Nzhelele.

The five claim that the boy mysteriously disappeared while they were in the bush. They then went to the Siloam police station and opened a missing person’s case. Apart from the fact that the Ramaremelas had taken Theophilus without his family’s consent, they opened a file of a missing person without having notified the boy’s family first.

According to the police report, the suspects only notified the family a day after the boy had disappeared.

They slept over at Nzhelele before telling the parents about the boy’s disappearance, which angered Theophilus’s family.

The family then opened a case of kidnapping (child stealing) against the accused.

Angry residents handed over a memorandum to deputy head magistrate Adv A.J Du Plessis, demanding that the suspects not be given bail.

They also demanded that the police speed up the investigation. The case was postponed to 2 March for a formal bail application. The five remained in custody.

According to the station commander for the Tshilwavhusiku police, Lt Col Freddy Shirinda, the case has now been handed to the Provincial Specialised Unit of the SAPS.

The Limpopo Region of the Bible Society of South Africa elected a new committee during a meeting in Louis Trichardt last Thursday. The members are in front, from left, Rev Maanda Muhadi, Rev Shirilele Khosa, Pastor George Ramatshimbila and Pastor Luisa Munyai.

Completion of claim a relief to residents The residents of Giyani expressed their happiness, after they had eventually been compensated by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform for their land.

This followed after the Risinga Community had been waiting for their land claim for a long time.

They danced happily when the Deputy Minister for the Department for Rural Development and Land Reform, Mr Lechesa Tsenoli, presented them with a cheque of R9 837 000 for their-long standing land claim application, lodged in 1997. The claim was lodged by Mr Mkhacani George Tshavalala, who has since passed away.

According to residents, the move will free most of Giyani sections such as section A, D1, D2,F, E, B9 and B10 from the hands of traditional leaders, who had been allegedly cashing in on the empty sites.

These are the areas where the Risinga community used to reside before they were moved away between 1965 and 1969 to makeway for the town of Giyani.

The 734 beneficiaries received a voucher of R54 600 each.

The chairperson of the Risinga community, Ms Hendrika Risinga, said she was very happy that the land claim had finally paid out. “It has been more than 10 years of waiting without knowing whether our claim would be approved or not,” she said.

Asked about other traditional leaders who were still holding onto the land in some parts of Giyani, Tsenoli said: “We’ve not been able to resolve all the claims. We’re still intending to go and talk to other traditional leaders in the instances where perhaps there’s certain unhappiness due to the manner in which

they were approached during the negotiation processes. Then we will be able to unlock the rest of the land, thereafter.”

Giyani has, for more than 20 years, been unable to demarcate sites for residential purposes.

This resulted in the looting of sites around the township by desperate residents who ran to buy municipal sites from the traditional leaders under whom they belonged.

Mr George Manganyi, one of the Giyani residents who had attended the event, said that he was overjoyed now that a solution had been reached on the land issue. “My children are all grown up and have their wives and children, yet we still live together in the same house because there were no residential stands available for them,” he said. He added that he hoped that the municipality would act quickly in the demarcation of residential stands.

The Deputy Minister for Rural Development and Land Reform, Mr Lechesa Tsenoli, hands over a voucher of R54 600 to Mrs Emily Tshavalala, the window of Mr Mkhacani George Tshavalala, who first lodged a land claim on behalf of the Risinga community in 1997.

Man’s belongings destroyed in raging fire For Itani Mutobvu (29) of Madombidzha, his return to home at around 21:00 last Monday (31 January), after an exhausting day in Louis Trichardt, was not at all pleasant.

He only arrived in time to try and help family members and friends extinguish the fire that was gutting his room.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this stage. Mutobvu’s younger brother, Jonas Mutobvu, said he became aware of the strong smell of fire when he was in the next room and came over to investigate.

It was only then that he realised that his older brother’s room was on fire.

He immediately alerted the other family members and the neighbours, who then joined him in pouring sand over the burning domestic articles, such as clothes, bed, an old sewing machine, books and other paper work.

His ID book was partially burnt as well.

“I lost everything in the fire,” says Itani, the sad victim of fire.

River Jordan Project needs assistance River Jordan Project , a wellknown project that is assisting many orphaned and vulnerable children in Vhembe, is finding it difficult to continue with its work, due to a lack of funds.

The rural non-profit organisation, which is looking after more than 100 children, is making an impassioned plea to business and community members to assist them in caring for the children.

River Jordan Project is an initiative of two dedicated youths, Phumudzo Demana and Rabelani Munyai, who felt the need to assist disadvantaged children in the area and was started in 2010.

The project cares for children from Ngovhela, Tshitotsheni and the nearby RDP houses in Thohoyandou.

“Through our day-to-day in-

teraction with the communities, we realised that there are many children who are suffering, with no one taking care of them.

We decided that we should do something to save these innocent souls from their dilemma. We started by helping a few of them at home and all this from our own pockets, but each day the number increases,” said Phumudzo Demana, who is the organisation’s leader.

He said they were assisting the children with their school work and keeping them busy by training them in traditional dances. “We felt that we should assist them rather than leave them to roam the streets, where they end up committing crime in the villages. Since we have started, there has been a tremendous im-

provement in their lives,” he said.

He said as the number was increasing on a daily basis, they were not able to cope with the needs of the children. “Many of the children do not have school uniforms and we are making an appeal to Good Samaritans out there who can come on board and rescue us here.

Rabelani Munyai, one of the founders, said they would like to see the children focussed on their school work, as education is the only weapon that could change their lives for the better. “We have many challenges here, as you can see; we are just squatting here, with no permanent place that we can call ours.”

Those wishing to assist can contact Demana at 083 486 3507 or Munyai at 076 958 2553.

Ex-offender welcomed back in society Unlike in other areas where ex-offenders are treated differently, residents of Mbho­ kota village outside Elim celebrated and welcomed back an ex-offender, Chris Nkuna, who had served three years in prison for armed robbery.

He received a warm welcome from the residents who organized him a surprise party in the village last Saturday.

They said that they knew that he had done something wrong and had been punished for what he had done. “He now deserves a second chance. He is part of us

and we can’t give up on him,” they said.

Nkuna said that he was happy that the community was prepared to give him another chance. “I am very excited, especially now that the residents have welcomed me back into the community. I did something wrong, went through the rehabilitation processes and I am now ready to do something useful in my community,” said Nkuna.

He promised the community that he would never do it again.

Nkuna was busy with his

studies while serving his sentence at the Makhado Correctional Centre in Louis Trichardt and was able to complete an ABET level 4 certificate. His mother, Esther, also expressed her happiness to welcome back her son.

Nkuna’s cousin, Hlayiseka Baloyi, said that he could see that Nkuna had been rehabilitated.

“He is now a changed person and hopefully other offenders will do the same and join us in developing our community,” he said.

Illegal cigarettes destroyed in Polokwane The South African Revenue Service (SARS) reinforced their intent to curb the illegal trade in cigarettes by destroying more than five million illegal cigarettes in Polokwane last week.

This is according to the Tobacco Institute of Southern Africa (TISA). The illegal cigarettes were recovered from various interventions in the area over the past months, including raids and seizures at retailers, resellers and wholesalers stocking illegal cigarettes.

“The millions of illegal cigarettes destroyed are evidence of

the very successful private and public partnership that exists between TISA, SARS and other government agencies. We believe this partnership is the only way to combat illicit trade in tobacco products successfully,” said TISA CEO Francois van der Merwe. He added that if these cigarettes were not confiscated and were sold in South Africa, the loss in excise duties alone to SARS would have been R2 469 090.

TISA assists SARS with the destruction of illegal cigarettes by means of custom-built hammer mills that shred the illicit

product into fine pieces. These shreddings are then ploughed into landfill sites. All destructions take place in the presence of SARS officials.

“During 2011, around 1.2 billion illegal cigarettes were seized through more than 7 000 interventions by law-enforcement officials. Also in 2011, approximately 800 key players in the illicit industry were arrested on charges relating to the smuggling and trading of illegal cigarettes.

The arrests should send a strong warning signal to other illicit traders that no one is above the law,” Van der Merwe said.

An eight-year-old Zimbabwean girl and her sister (2) were raped by a man who entered their home twice through a window while their parents were sleeping in the same room.

The 20-year-old suspect, who resides at Mashava village outside Beit Bridge, appeared in court last week, facing two counts of aggravated sexual assault.

The court was told that between 10 January and 17 January this year, the man gained entry into his victims’ home through a broken window on both occasions. He was denied bail and the case was postponed to 20 February.

It was testified that the accused was already in the nude when he proceeded to the bedroom where the eight-year-old girl was sleeping. The court heard that Banda took cooking oil from the kitchen and smeared it on the girl’s private parts before raping her, after which he sneaked out unnoticed.

The following morning, the girl’s mother noticed the oil on her, but the girl had no recollection of how it got there. Neither did she remember a sexual attack.

On January 17, the court heard, the man returned to the same house. As before, he entered through the window, already in the nude, and proceeded to one of the bedrooms where the

two-year-old girl was sleeping with her parents. He once again smeared cooking oil on the little girl’s privates and raped her while her parents were fast asleep.

His luck ran out when the victim’s mother suddenly woke up and discovered her daughter was missing from her side. As she frantically looked around, she caught sight of the accused, who was cowering in a corner.

The criminalisation of spanking in the home is a recipe for disaster, said Dr Isak Burger, president of the Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM).

The church is the oldest and largest pentecostal church in South Africa.

According to a statement released by the AFM media desk, Burger acknowledged that there are “irresponsible and emotionally immature parents whose methods of discipline can be considered maltreatment.” It is, however, “disastrous” to suggest that government criminalise parents who give their own children a hiding, he added.

According to Burger, it is unlikely that parents who are guilty of child abuse will be deterred by the proposed measures. He added that the Bible has multiple prescripts, emphasising the importance of “just and loving discipline”. He also stated that the Bible warns that the neglecting of disciplining children “can have disastrous ef-

fects” on the development of a child.

In the release, it is stated that there is a huge difference between parental discipline and child abuse. As South Africa already has laws against child abuse, Burger argued that criminalising parents for fulfilling their moral obligation to discipline their children was preposterous.

According to him, governments must resist the temptation to “usurp the legitimate authority of parents to discipline their own children.” Government’s intrusion in the family is a recipe for disaster, he added.

Burger also mentioned that the consequence of government’s “humanistic philosophy” is clearly apparent in society. He warned that neverseen-before youth-related social ills have become more widespread. “The riots in London last year, perpetrated mainly by undisciplined youths, are a dire warning of the folly of this proposal.”

Surprise farewell gift for announcer Veteran radio announcer Phillip Ramawa never thought that what he was doing to improve the lives of the community would be recognised, but now he does upon his retirement.

Ramawa received the shock of his life when farmers presented him with a live cow upon his retirement.

He served the SABC and Thohoyandou Radio for more than 30 years and retired at

the end of January 2012. His farewell party was held at the SABC Phalaphala FM studios in Thohoyandou on Friday.

Among the guests were businesspeople, Phalaphala FM staff and farmers from all over Vhembe. Ramawa hosted programmes such as Dokotela uri Mini, Zwavhulimi, and Vhurereli Ha Sialala, and the programmes exposed him to different people. Farmer representative Mr Tshianeo

Mathidi, who is also the provincial chairperson of National Emergent Red Meat Producers Organization (NERPO), said Ramawa had taken farming to a high level in the area. He said as farmers they felt indebted to the station management and Ramawa for popularising their programmes. “His programmes empowered us as farmers and our district comes out tops in terms of agricultural production in the province. This is also partly due to his support,” he said, before adding: “We are very excited about the role he played in putting us on the map.”

The farmers added that they were saddened by his departure from the station but wanted him to know in his retirement that he had their support.

They said the cow was to set him up as a livestock farmer.

Mr Freddy Sadiki, Phalaphala’s station manager, described Ramawa as having led an exemplary life worth emulating. Ramawa thanked the station management for giving him the opportunity to reach out to people through his programmes. “The station made me a lot of friends and what happened today confirms that I was able to handle the task that was entrusted to me by the station,” he said.

He said he will soon Announcer Jennifer Muthige and farmer representative Mr Tshianeo Mathidi hand over a gift to Ramawa. Also in the photo are the SABC´s be in “big-time farming”.

Zim wants to talk about documentation The Zimbabwean government intends to approach South Africa over the possible extension of the documentation exercise for Zimbabweans living illegally in the country, Zimbabwe’s Home Affairs Minister Kembo Mohadi said.

Mohadi told Limpopo Mirror that his government would soon re-engage South Africa over the issue. South Africa, however, insists there will not be a second phase of the programme, after 255 282 Zimbabweans had their stay regularised under the current exercise, which home affairs officials say is nearing completion.

According to SA’s home affairs department, the remaining 20 480 applications are expected to be finalised by March this year.

The Director General of SA Home Affairs, Mr Mkuseli Apleni, ruled out extending the exercise, insisting “We have said it is closed forever. If there are those who did not take up that offer, they are now here illegally.”

Apleni said there were plans afoot for the regularisation of other nationals from Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, but this did not involve Zimbabwe.

Speculation is rife that the completion of the documentation process in March would likely culminate in massive deportations of illegal Zimbabwean migrants in South Africa.

However, Mohadi said there was still room “to re-engage our counterparts over the issue. At

the moment, they are still busy and we will have to wait for them to complete the first phase before further engagements,” Mohadi said.

“In fact, we are saying engagements would continue because this is not a one-off thing. A lot of people continue to cross the border into South Africa without proper travel documents. It is something that happens every day and we need to address that problem,” he added.

According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) it is estimated that 1.5 million Zimbabweans are living in South Africa, most of them illegally. Hundreds of Zimbabweans continue tocross the border into South Africa illegally every day.

Marula beer a handy source of income With the beginning of marula (mukumbi) season, hundreds of rural unemployed women from Limpopo’s Niani area outside Mutale are smiling all the way to the bank.

The Niani area rural women from Shakadza, Muswodi, Tshiungani, Tshipise-Zwigodini and other villages collected marula fruits and started making beer, which they sold to villagers, to people from all parts of Limpopo province and as far as Gauteng province.

Marula fruits ripe between January and March each year and rural women from the areas where marula are found in abundance are economically empowering themselves as they are selling beer.

The marula tree, found in the northern and north-eastern part of Limpopo, has numerous nutritional benefits, and these are used for different purposes.

Traditional doctors use its bark for medical remedies. The fruit of the marula is loaded with

vitamin C. The marula products have now been commercialised to include hair products, beer, jam, and soap, among others.

One of the rural unemployed women in Tshipise-Zwigodini village who is making money through marula beer, Ms Julia Mammbeda, said she can make “good money” with her quality marula beer.

“We sell the 20 litres of marula beer to as much as R100 and two litres for R10,” she added.

Rural women are showing how to make marula beer.

Mozambican illegal immigrants fined Birth of Prophet Muhammad celebrated Nine Nine Mozambicans who were vening a section of the Immigra- Mauta Jovo (38), was intercepted The celebration of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, an important day on the Muslim calender, was celebrated in style in Thohoyandou on Sunday.

Hundreds of Muslim faithful from Louis Trichardt, Giyani and Thohoyandou took to the streets, some on foot and in a motorcade, that stretched for kilometers. They were singing celebratory songs in praise of their Prophet at the top of their voices.

The march started at the Madrasa-E-Chistiya Ashrafiya Sunni Mosque and later re-

turned there, where the main event was held. Only men took part in the morning service and women held their own celebrations in the afternoon.

The celebrations also saw many locals benefitting in the form of food that was handed out to everybody who happened to be on the street during the march.

“Prophet Muhammad is a symbol of peace, love and the good life. We cannot forget this great being as he has guided us in all we do. He prophesied most of the things that are of help to us as human beings,” said Rafiq

Lakha, one of the organisers of the function.

He said it had become an annual event and they had taken the oportunity to march as a way of preaching peace in the community. “We are popularising Islam, which is peace that has been propagated by the teachings of the prophet, who has been of guidance to us. He is a messenger of God to us as people. He promotes diversity and brotherhood. We will continue in his footsteps in preaching the ideals of Islam in the whole of the Vhembe region,” said Lakha.

Muslim devotees in full cry, singing the praises of the Prophet during the celebrations.

This was after the Tshilwavhusiku SAPS had learnt that the pupils were using papers torn straight from the school books for plates during break when they collected government-subsidised meals.The school is one of five schools that were officially adopted by the police station on 28 August 2009. The Tshilwavhusiku SAPS decided to donate 160 plates to the pupils and an additional 15 plates for the educators.

Boy drowns in river An 18-year-old youth from Dandafa village outside Beit Bridge drowned last week after a swimming adventure turned tragic.

The victim, Dean Shumba, drowned while swimming with his friends, Liberty Hunda (16), Lyno Mocha (17) and Oris Sweet (17). Police spokesperson, Insp Bulisani Bhebhe, said Shumba’s body had since been retrieved.

In another incident, Mr Smart Chirunga (56) drowned while trying to cross a flooded river on his way home. The incident occurred on Thursday last week. “Chirunga was coming from drinking beer with his friend, James Marufu. The two reportedly tried to cross the flooded river, but Chirunga drowned,” said Bhebhe. Police attended the scene and retrieved the body, which was taken to the local mortuary for a post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, a five-year-old local boy died on the spot and his brother was left injured after a cart they were travelling in plunged into a river. The incident occurred last week along the Ware River.

Insp Memory Pamire said that Jeremiah Munzara had crushed his head against a rock along the river.

Fighters hold log-leaders to a draw

No food for patients at hospital?

Muswodi Happy Fighters held the log leaders, Musina United, to 1-all draw in a Safa Vhembe SAB match, played at the Musina MTD Stadium on Saturday.

The game was equally contested, although United had the upper hand in the first half. The players of Fighters displayed their rough skills from the onset in a bid to frustrate their opponents. They did not get far with their wrongdoings, as

While national reports are rife about Limpopo hospitals that have run out of food, the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital has no such problems ... Or so claims the spokesperson for the Provincial Department of Health, Mr Joe Maila.

In the meantime, it has come to light that local businessmen were approached by the hospital last week for food donations. Some even described the situation as a humanitarian crisis.

Mr Luke Enslin, owner of Louis Trichardt Spar, is one businessman that came to the rescue of the patients at the hospital.

He confirmed last week that, via Spar, he has committed to providing mealie meal and vegetables to the hospital.

“As we understand it, there can be up to 60 patients hospitalised per day,” said Enslin. “We were shocked when we learned that

the referee, Mr Pollen Sibara, flashed two yellow cards in quick succession. The first player to go into the referee’s book was Ntsieni Mankwewho, who tackled Derrick Mafela from behind in the 17th minute.

Obrey Ndou was also booked six minutes later. He obstructed Olva Chauke in the danger zone and for that reason he was lucky to escape with yellow.

United were very strong on the attack in the last half. Mus-

wodi should have scored in the 40th minute, but their kingpin, Lucky Netshiungani, shot wide.

The next player who went into the referee's book was Thanyani Mudau (United), who intentionally handled the ball.

The second half was characterised by wasted chances in the United camp. They showed a spirit of commitment from the onset. Althoug Fighters showed cohesion in all department throughout the match, their striker Kenneth Siobo's performance was outstanding. Siobo was everywhere, giving support to both his midfielders and making sure that his danger area was always clean.

United scored via Joel Goba, who headed home in the 85th minute. A few minutes later, Fighters equalised from a free kick. Hymer Munyai scored from the spot.

After the goal, the match was stopped for five minutes when players of United accused the assistant referee of favouritism. Joel Goba was finally red-carded for assaulting the assistant referee.

Obrey Ndou of United flies high to head the ball and Lusani Matodzi is waiting for any mistake.

there was no food to give to the patients,” he added.

Enslin confirmed that he had received an official letter from the hospital, asking for food donations. The Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror have also seen copies of another letter asking a local farmer to donate a cow which can be slaughtered to provide patients with meat.

When Maila was approached for comment, however, he was adamant that there was no existing or looming food crisis at the hospital. “We don’t call it a crisis,” said Maila on Monday.

He continued to explain that people must have read about the food shortages that some hospitals in the province have experienced and decided to donate food of their own accord. The reports that Maila referred to appeared in the national news a fortnight ago. Most hospitals in Limpopo

had reportedly run out of food because service providers had failed to deliver food since they had not been paid.

The service providers had also raised concerns that they had run out of capital to purchase the food required at the institutions.

This followed after the provincial departments of health, public works, treasury, education and roads and transport had been placed under administration after their finances had dried up.

It was only when the existence of the donation letters were confirmed that Maila admitted that a food shortage existed at the hospital.

“But suppliers are getting paid and the issue should be resolved soon,” said Maila.

The existence of donation letters, he said, needed to be verified but, to his knowledge, the hospital had never asked for food.

“It is unfortunate to have to say that the lawyers of the municipality had to settle as a result of not being properly prepared. The Makhado Municipality’s paper work was not in order to state their case,” said DA councillor Brian du Plooy on Monday.

The legal costs already incurred, as well as possible future costs if a cost order should be obtained against the municipality, amounts to wasteful expenditure, says the DA. The DA demands that the municipal manager, Mr Shadrack Tshikalange, and the CFO, Mr Hitler Maluleke, be held personally accountable for the loss of taxpayers’ money.

“Both these officials are incapable of fulfilling their daily job descriptions and need to be removed.

The finance department is in chaos and this reflects directly on the poor management of service delivery within the Makhado Municipality,” Du Plooy said. He added that officials appointed or deployed in the Council needed to be held accountable and needed to listen to the problems and demands of voters.

lineup. A draw for Leopards will be the best result, when one takes into account the fact that Pirates are sharpened to kill.

Moroka Swallows and Santos will meet at the Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg and Ajax Cape Town will host Platinum Stars at the Cape Town Stadium. Ajax Cape Town, or the Urban Warriors, are not easy to beat, especially at their home ground. For that reason, Dinaledi will be lucky if they manage to hold them to a draw.

Supersport United will host Free State Stars at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.

A tricky hurdle lies ahead of Jomo Cosmos.

They will play against Kaizer Chiefs at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. Amazulu will rub shoulders with Mamelodi Sundowns at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

The other fixtures are Bloemfontein Celtic vs Golden Arrows and Bidvest Wits vs Martitzburg United.

Crime

Son strikes father with axe during brawl A 31-year-old man from Madlambuzi village outside Beit Bridge was arrested for allegedly striking his father (59) with an axe on the head, following a beer brawl.

The incident occurred last Friday at around 19:00 in a local bushy area. “Our preliminary investigations indicate that Mehluli Moyo and his father, Manyaka Moyo, were drinking beer at a local business centre. Later in

the evening they decided to go home and it looks like, while on their way, the two men had a misunderstanding, resulting in a fistfight,” local police spokesperson Insp Tafanana Dzirutwe said. Sensing that he was being overpowered by his dad, the son resorted to his axe, which he used to strike his father twice on the head. He then took to his heels, leaving his father unconscious.

“The suspect proceeded home,

where he informed his mother, who then took the victim to their homestead. A report was made to us, leading to the arrest of the suspect,” Dzirutwe said. He said the suspect would soon appear in court on an attempted-murder charge.

Moyo (sr) sustained severe injuries on the head and he was rushed to a local hospital for treatment, where his condition is reportedly critical.

Three valuable league points for fierce Arsenal Madombidzha Arsenal received three valuable league points when they beat Tshiozwi Dynamos 2-1 in their Safa Vhembe SAB league at Madombidzha on Sunday.

The visitors missed two easy opportunities in the first 10 minutes of the match.

The players who made the Dynamos fans jump up from their seats in disbelief were Aluwani Nedzamba and Mpho Mavhandu. Ritshidze Matodzi of Arsenal caused a real upset when his shot hit the upright and bounced back into the field

of play, with the keeper of Dynamos, Marvel Mauda, well beaten.

Mbengeni Rambuwani beat three defenders in a row before he sent the keeper the wrong way to make the score 1-0 in favour of Asernal. A moment later, Tshilidzi Sithari headed home his team’s second goal from a corner kick, taken by Dakalo Nwanamidwa.

Londy Musiamo brought down Aluwani Nedzamba inside the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty, which Nyathi Muvhango converted.

The home team abused countless scoring opportunities in the last 15 minutes of the first half. Rendani Sithodo unleashed prematurely, instead of moving a few steps towards keeper Marvel Mauda.

Dynamos introduced Mashudu Nengovhela for Matodzi Maruli in the second half. The replacement did not change the complexion of the game, as the home team continue to fight fiercely.

Vhutshilo Mafunisa of Dynamos and Rendani Sithodo of Arsenal were redcarded for arguing with the referee.

Two assistant refs assaulted Assistant referee Mr Martin Rasalanavho was allegedly assaulted by the players of Musina United after the match between United and Muswodi Happy Fighters at the MTD Stadium on Saturday. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.

It is alleged that the players accused the assistant referee of being biased.

Fans allegedly joined the players and proceeded to the middle of the park, from where they ran amok and allegedly started hitting the assistant referee. Rasalanavho then ran away.

Realising that the situation was getting out of hand, the players and officials for Fighters left the pitch, packed their bags and left. The players and officials of United remained at the stadium, talking to the referee and his assistants, and allegedly begged them not to open a case.

The coach of United, Mr Thomani Ndou, confirmed that an agreement for an out-of-court settlement was reached between the two teams, stating that the team officials would pay for the damages. “We agreed with the officials that they have to pay the consulting fee for a doctor,” said Rasalanavho.

In a separate case, assistant referee Tsundukani Ngwenya, who officiated in the SAFA Vhembe SAB league match between Makhitha Oscar Stars and Zamenkomste United at Makhitha on Sunday, was also al-

legedly assaulted. The spokesperson for the Tshilwavhusiku SAPS, Const Musiwalo Mahuwa, confirmed that two players of Zamenkomste United Brothers, Raymond Sinugo (23) and Tsumbedzo Rasikhula (26), had appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday on assault charges, but that their cases were withdrawn.

In December, the referee who officiated in the match between Tshifhire Northern Brothers and Ngwenani Young Chiefs, Mr Rooi Mulaudzi, was assaulted and doused with liquor.

The president of Safa Vhembe, Mr George Kubayi, appealed to teams that are still doing these barbaric things to avoid such behaviour.

Fixtures

Leopards to face Blackburn The draw for the last 32 of the Nedbank Cup matches was conducted at the Nedbank headquarters in Sandton on Monday evening.

The defending champions, Orlando Pirates, will probably proceed to the next round of the competition with ease. Pirates were drawn against the Vodacom League side, Ethekwini Coastal FC. Black Leopards will play against the National First Division side, Blackburn Rovers. It will be a home match for Lidoda Duvha.

Mamelodi Sundowns will be away to play against Powerlines in the Eastern Cape. Amazulu were unlucky as they were drawn against the other PSL side, Ajax Cape Town. Platinum Stars will host the Vodacom League

side, Dolphins FC. Kaizer Chiefs were also lucky, as they will play against the Vodacom League side, Cape Town All Stars.

Mpumalanga Black Aces will meet their neighbours, Witbank Spurs, in a Mpumalanga derby. Moroka Swallows will take on Bidvest Wits, Jomo Cosmos will pay a visit to African Warriors and Batau FC will host Supersport United.

Bay United will be the visiting side in their match against Roses United, while Maritzburg United will enjoy home-ground advantage in their match against Bloemfontein Celtic.

The other fixtures are Santos vs University of Pretoria, Free State Stars vs Sivutsa Stars and Golden Arrows vs North West Shining Stars.

Crime

State withdraws charges Two men suspected of planning a business robbery in Eltivillas have had the charges against them withdrawn.

Reuben Moloto (39) and Christopher Maleka, both from Polokwane, appeared in the Louis Trichardt Regional Court on Monday. Their co-accused, Tsepo Moepi (39) of Seshego and Alfred Nkuna (40) of Mamelodi, were, however, not that lucky.

All four the men appeared on a single count of the illegal possession of a firearm.

Their court case follows Moepi and

Nkuna’s arrest in December 2010.

According to information, the two were arrested after local police received a tip-off regarding a robbery that was being planned. When the police searched the vehicle that they were driving, they found two unlicensed 9mm pistols.

Following Moepi and Nkuna’s arrest, they implicated Moloto and Maleka, who were subsequently arrested.

On Monday, the State withdrew their case against Moloto and Maleka, due to a lack of physical evidence that links them to the case.

Sad day for Miluwani Happy Boys Makovha All Stars gave Miluwani Happy Boys a day to remember when they beat them 2-0 in their SAB League match at the Miluwani grounds on Sunday.

Happy Boys were only strong at the back and in the midfield, but their strikers were hopeless.

The game was lukewarm in the first 15 minutes, but got hotter over time. All Stars knocked at their opponents’ door in the 18th minute. Their right winger, Hudson Matamela, unleashed from outside the box. The ball hit the woodwork and bounced back into the field of play.

That did not kill Stars’ fighting spirit. They continued to fight like a united team until they were rewarded with a goal in the 26th minute. They were awarded a free kick a few yards outside the box.

Azwifaneli Netsianda took the ball from the place kick. The ball landed within the penalty box, from where Hudson Matamela beat the keeper with a half volley.

The home side gained momentum as the game progressed, but Lady Luck was not on their side.

Ndivhuwo Mpfuni was the first player to be cautioned. He tackled Khathutshelo Tshobota from behind and the referee, Mr Mphireni Mphephu, was lenient enough to let him go with yellow.

All Stars increased the margin in the 38th minute.

Vhatali Munyai was on target after a neat pass by Mashudu Muthabeni.

Happy Boys replaced Ndivhudzannyi Mmbara with Philelo Nemadandila four minutes into the last half. All Stars responded by introducing Phumudzo Mugwena for Mulanga Mudau a little later.

Happy Boys tried everything within their reach Azwifaneli Netsianda of All Stars controls the in their search for goals, but it was not their day. ball.

Fixtures

Rospa United must beat Phungo All Stars Rospa United are geared to register their second victory when they meet Phungo All Stars in their Vodacom Promotional League match at the Tshifulanani Stadium on Sunday.

It will be the third match for United’s head coach, Mr Joel Masutha, with the team. Masutha, who joined the struggling United three weeks ago, is still to see his team collect a league point. His first match was against Super Eagles, to whom they lost 1-2. Rospa United were again beaten 0-1 by Mighty FC at the Peter Mokaba Stadium last Fri-

day evening.

Phungo All Stars will be minus their midfielder-cum-striker, Hulisani Mathugana, who was given his marching orders when his side drew 1-1 with Basel FC at the Eltivillas grounds last Saturday.

Phungo must contain the United playmaker, Marks Munyai, or else they will suffer a great deal.

Happy Mahuntsi of United will be available for selection on Sunday. Mahuntsi sustained a serious injury when his side lost 1-2 to Super Eagles at the Tshifulanani Stadium two weeks ago. Basel FC will host Fanang Diatla at the

Malamulele Stadium.

Nobela All Stars have a mountain to climb this weekend. They will entertain the log leaders, Baroka FC, at the Malamulele Stadium tomorrow. Giyani Hotspurs and Modimolle Aces will battle it out for league points at the Giyani Stadium.

Lephalale Young Killers will travel to Seshego Stadium, where they will play against Magezi FC. Blue Rocks and Super Eagles will rub shoulders at the Nkowankowa Stadium in Tzaneen. Mighty FC will travel to Seshego Stadium to try their luck against The Dolphins.

Results

Another easy victory for Baroka FC Vhembe District Vodacom Promotional League side Rospa United Football has good reason to press the panic button. They continued to donate points to their opponents last weekend.

They gave away points to Mighty FC, who beat them 0-1 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Rospa are lying in the second-last

position on the log, following a string of poor results in the past weeks. Baroka FC demonstrated that they are serious about completing their league programme on top of the log when they beat Blue Rocks 5-1 in Sekhukhune.

Winners Park beat Lephalale Young Killers 2-1 at the Mogol Stadium, and Phungo All Stars shared the glory 1-1 with Basel

at the Eltivillas grounds.

Giyani Hotspurs suffered a 2-4 defeat at the hands of Dinare FC in Modimolle.

Fanang Diatla lost 0-2 to Magezi FC and Super Eagles donated points to The Dolphins, when they lost 1-3. Eagles must start collecting points or else they will be demoted to the bantam division at the end of the season.

Basel’s fast forward, Jafta Mabosho, could not live up to the supporters’ expectations as he was tightly marked.

Phungo All Stars were the first to find the net. They were awarded a free kick outside the box. Hulisani Mathugana tried his luck and the Basel keeper, Mashudu Mafunisa, watched helplessly as the ball hit the back of the net.

The Tzaneen-based referee, Quality Kgapane, became a laughing stock moments later. He remained silent at a time when everyone thought he would blow the whistle and award Basel a penalty. This, after a defender of Stars handled the ball intentionally within the box. Instead of blowing the whistle, Kgapane waved a play-on signal as if nothing had happened.

His decision was an insult to the Basel supporters as they started shouting abusive words towards the match officials.

Basel fought back in the 34th minute. They were awarded a penalty after a defender of All Stars handled the ball within the box.
