Tavern death

By Kaizer Nengovhela A 26-year-old man, Jonathan Khadi, appeared in the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court on Monday on a murder charge, following the death of Mr Ndivhuwo Gereda (37) in a tavern at Ha-Masia last Sunday afternoon.

According to the police spokesperson, Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, the incident followed an argument between the two men in the tavern.

Khani had allegedly chopped Gereda several times on the head with a sharp object. Mojapelo said that the incident had occurred at about 14:00 on Sunday.

He said that when the police arrived at the scene, the victim was lying dead on the ground. “He had a big wound on the head,” said Mojapelo. “The suspect was arrested immediately after the incident and charged with murder,” Mojapelo added.

Gereda was declared dead by the medical staff who arrived on the scene with an ambulance.

According to the family spokesperson, Mr Thomas Muthuphei, the untimely death of Gereda had robbed the family of a good person.

“The incident has left our family traumatised and it will take a long time and specialised counselling for us to recover fully.” He said the incident had caught them off-guard.

“It came as a shock to us, having

to lose such an intelligent person like him. We are very sad,” he said.

Muthuphei was overwhelmed with grief and said that the family members had no idea as to what could have happened. He expressed his appreciation to all the members of the community, and especially the pastors in the area, who supported them during the sad news.

Khadi, who is in custody, will appear again on 31 March for a bail application.

scourge of crime and submit it to the department.

Just three minutes into Ramabulana’s speech, the Deputy Minister of Correctional Services, Nkosi Phathekile Holomisa, had risen and walked out of the Makhado Education Multi-purpose Centre, reportedly for a pre-scheduled interview.

Nkosi Holomisa had come to forge a way forward in creating means of welcoming back released offenders into the communities.

The imbizo formed part of the Department of Correction-

al Services’ public education reintegration strategy that seeks to alleviate conflict within communities, following the rehabilitation and release of offenders from correctional centres.

“When a person has killed another one, the law must ensure that they deal with that person in the strictest order of his crime, because even when they are given a second chance via parole, they still get back and commit crimes,” Ramabulana continued.

He said that, as thovheles, they had noted that the community acted out of anger when

they took the law into their own hands.

He said they understood the community’s pain and disappointment at the manner in which the justice system was being lenient on criminals. “Not that we condone that (mob justice),” he said.

He stated that, as traditional leaders, they knew all their subjects and that it would be good if judges and magistrates consulted with them when sentencing criminals, so that they could supply additional testimony on that offender’s person.

VSlots donates sanitary pads to Musina’s school girls Musina News No girl child should miss school because of the unavailability of sanitary pads. These were the words of the customer relations manager of Vukani Gaming (VSlots), Mr Ahmed Milanzi. He said this shortly after handing over more than 100 boxes of sanitary pads to girls at Musina and Renaissance High School last Tuesday. Some of the sani-

tary pads were also donated to members of the Musina Disability Forum.

The initiative is the brainchild of VSlots and Sand River Resort in Musina. Milanzi said VSlots understood the plight of the learners in townships and rural and farm schools because most of the parents were either unemployed or indigent.

He added that contributing to the development of education in the areas in which they operated was

important for the business sector.

“As business, we acknowledge that we also have limited resources, but we do our best to stretch our arms and assist where possible. We have also done the same donations in these schools last year.”

He told the learners never to allow their poor background to dictate their future. “Study hard and give yourself time to do schoolwork. Listen to your teachers and stay away from bad friends who will influence

you to drink alcohol and abuse drugs. Your educational dreams should be based on hard work, dedication and the desire to succeed.”

One of the learners who received sanitary pads, Joyce Makamu, said they were very happy after receiving the gifts. “We are very excited to be blessed with these sanitary pads because they mean a lot to us as girl learners. This will definitely simplify our learning activities here at school.”

Patrick “BMW” Mulaudzi led the participants.

Tshikondeni project halted

By Kaizer Nengovhela A legacy project to transform the former mining village of Tshikondeni into an eco-tourism centre has stalled, apparently because of disagreements between residents and the Makuya Tshikondeni Development Foundation.

The R40 million project is meant to transform the village into an ecotourism hub, complete with camp sites, chalets and conservation training facilities.

The Tshikondeni coal mine was closed in 2014. The Makuya Tshikondeni Development Foundation was then established by the Makuya

Traditional Council, Exxaro Resources and ArcelorMittal to inject new economic life into the community living at Tshikondeni.

The foundation is now the owner of the former mining village, consisting of about 150 houses, a restaurant, swimming pool and other facilities. Exxaro promised to invest R30 million over a period of three years, while ArcelorMittal will invest R16 million to develop the former mining village into an eco-tourism destination. Work at the project stopped about six months ago, however, because community members are demanding the removal of two board members from the foundation.

Makuya Concerned Group secretary Mr Tshimangadzo Tshifaro said that the two were interfering in the recruitment and tender processes. One of the local businesspeople, Mr Shavhani Mulaudzi, also expressed his concerns about the disturbances at the project.

Exxaro’s Sustainability Executive, who is also the chairperson of the Makuya Tshikondeni Development Foundation, Mr Mongezi Veti, confirmed that they had suspended work at the project, saying this had been done to root out corruption. Veti said that they had proposed that board members implicated in wrongdoing at the project be excluded to allow the project to proceed.

A malaria research centre will also be established in the former mining village, which is located in a high-risk malaria area. The centre will be used by universities, the private sector and other stakeholders.

Tshipise’s top performers receive their recognition

By Bernard Chiguvare The Tshipise Civic Organisation recently held a community award excellence event, aimed at encouraging learners in Tshipise village to work hard.

The event took place at Tshipise Primary School.

Hanyani Secondary and Tshipise Primary School are the schools in Tshipise village.

Mr Ntungufhadzeni Gilbert Mbedzi, secretary of the organisation, said they were holding the event for the first time. “We have noted that other communities present awards to schools in their respective areas and this stimulates interests in the youth in educational matters,” said Mbedzi.

Awards were given to top learners from Grade 7 to 12. The awards were in the form of laptops, diaries, dictionaries, calculators, school bags and Bibles.

Speaking to Limpopo Mirror, Ms Mashudu Mutavhatsindi, principal of Tshipise Primary, said that they appreciated the awards.

“The schools in the village used to lose learners to other nearby schools, but I hope the introduction of the awards will help us retain learners.”

As a way of motivating learners, Mutavhatsindi said the school was planning to look for donors who could support learners from Grade R up to Grade 12.

In future, the Tshipise community is planning to pay the tuition fees of the top Grade 12 learner.

The elderly led participants in the second annual 15km health walk organised by House of Grace Church at Louis Trichardt on Saturday. More than 500 people participated in the health walk.

Pastor Livingstone Simango, organiser of the event, said that the main idea was to keep the people fit and teach them about health.

He said that this was the second year that the walk had taken place and he was happy with the attendance. He said the elderly members were a true example to the young people.

The well-known Mr Patrick “BMW” Mulaudzi also attended the event. He said that seeing members of the community engaging in exercise for their health was good.

He said that if people could increase their daily levels of physical activity, they would benefit a lot. Mulaudzi appealed to community members to engage in 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least three days in a week.

Fondwe Primary are ecstatic after winning the Wetland competition

By Silas Nduvheni Learners and staff of the rural school of Fondwe near Nzhelele were over the moon after being named among the winners of the Wetland School Awareness Competition.

The school principal, Ms Happy Mukwevho, told Limpopo Mirror during the celebrations on Monday that some

Grade 7 learners had put the school on the map.

According to Mukwevho, the Department of Environmental Affairs had invited learners at primary level to enter the Wetland Schools Awareness Competition and her learners had taken the matter seriously.

As one of the winners, they won R15 000.

She said the theme of the competition was Wetlands and

Biodiversity and her learners had made posters and depicted the ecosystem and benefit of wetland on their livelihood.

They also made presentations regarding the topic.

“We will use the money our learners won on the competition to develop the school garden. In a democratic country, everything is possible; no one can limit our learners if they are determined,” she said.

transport. “They said whoever closed the school should have made sure that all arrangements such as for transport, additional tables and chairs were in place before transferring learners to a new school,” he said. “This was quite indicative that the Makwarela office had closed the school without sending a report to the department and getting a directive to close the school from the top office. This is odd.”

The Department of Education’s spokesperson, Mr Sam Makondo, said that the department had not said that whoever had closed the school should have made sure that all arrangements were in place.

“The application for scholar transport is at an advanced stage as we speak,” he said.

“We had held a meeting with the parents, and they said that they were willing to transport their own children to school in the meantime. The scholar transport application is receiving attention and is being processed in terms of the supply chain processes of government. They qualify for scholar transport and they will be catered for,” he said.

Vhembe District Municipality has set aside R7 million to refurbish the Shigalo Fire Station, which was vandalized by community members before it could become operational.

Kurima Construction was appointed to refurbish the station and has already started with clearing the bushes within the vicinity of the station. The scope of work includes, among others, the repair of the access gate, the palisade fence, the electricity, the air conditioning, ceiling, doors and water connections. The construction

company has been given six months to complete its work.

Mr Khazamula Ngomani, who represented the Shigalo Tribal Authority, said that “the yard needs to be cleaned, because the bush is very thick, and snakes might be hiding in the area. Our community members also need jobs; many of our youth are unemployed, hence they engage in theft and alcohol abuse. As the traditional leadership, we are not happy when projects are built and fail to be completed and our own government is always being blamed for corruption. We will only celebrate when the station

starts to be operational.”

Cllr Ruth Maingo, chairperson of the portfolio committee of community services, added that although the contract would run for six months, “we encourage them to finish the work in two months if that is possible. We request community members to stop vandalising their property because we are refurbishing it for the third time now”.

Maingo further indicated that people within the Collins Chabane Local Municipality would have the fire station to assist them during times of disaster.

Help desk established to resolve Nandoni community’s claims During a meeting last Thursday, the Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation, Mr David Mahlobo, met with representatives and structures of 16 villages that were affected by the building of the Nandoni Dam. The meeting formed part of an effort to resolve the community’s claims regarding the arable land, houses and their mealie fields that were submerged by the water. Mahlobo assured the affected commu-

nities that his department is working around the clock to resolve the matter.

“We are developing a help desk, comprising team members from our department, which will be able to visit the affected communities and revise the plan of action to speed up the process. We don’t want the affected communities to lose their money, and we urge for smooth and good cooperation between our officials and the affected communities,”

Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation, Mr David Mahlobo (left), joined by the executive mayor of the Vhembe Distritct Municipality, Cllr Dowelani Nenguda, adresses the affected communities.

said Mahlobo.

He said he would be back in two weeks’ time to meet the affected communities with traditional leaders and the executive mayor of the Vhembe District Municipality, Cllr Dowelani Nenguda. He said the matter was long overdue and he wanted to resolve it as soon as possible. Nenguda assured the affected communities in Nandoni of his support and said they would lend a helping hand.

This follows a long sit-in near the gate leading to the dam by angry community members of the affected villages near Nandoni dam outside Thohoyandou, demanding compensation for their losses when the dam was built.

The chairperson of the Nandoni Complaints Resolution Committee, Mr Solomon Baloyi, said they welcomed the visit by Mr Mahlobo, hoping that life would change for the better for them and that they would be compensated.

“We will work and cooperate with the officials deployed by the department at the help desk, and we urge the affected communities to give as much information as they can to the officials. This is what we were fighting for, because our affected communities have waited for long to be paid their money,” said Baloyi.

New commander for 515 Squadron

By Andries van Zyl 515 Squadron at Air Force Base (AFB) Makhado came under new command last week, with Lt Col Motubatse Ephry Kgoale handing over command to Lt Col Lord Isaac Montsho. In accepting command of this security squadron, Montsho pledged to perform his duties with zeal and diligence and promised to set a good example to those under his command.

The changing-of-command parade took place on 5 March and the guests of honour included members of the South African Air Force (SAAF) Command Council, the Deputy Chief of the SAAF, Maj-Gen Mzayifani Buthelezi, and the Chief of Air Staff Governance, Maj-Gen Motshabi Sehloho.

Brig-Gen André Barends, the Officer Commanding of AFB Makhado, officiated as the review officer during the event.

Lt Col Kgoale served as the commander of 515 Squadron from 1 January 2016 until 31 December 2019 and was appointed as the training coordinator of the SAAF Gymnasium in Hoedspruit with effect from 1 January 2020. Lt Col Montsho was born in Brits and completed his high school career at the Ikatisong Comprehensive School in Letlhabile.

He joined the South African Air Force on 6 January 1992 as a national service man.

In his address, Brig Gen Barends urged members of the South African Air Force (SAAF), and in particular of AFB Makhado, to remain strong and loyal, to be disciplined and professional, to humble themselves, and to work as a team. He told them to do their best to support the core business of the SAAF, adding that to achieve this, the participation, commitment and dedication from all men and women in uniform at the base were required, irrespective of what they did. He said doing so would strengthen the capability of the organisation.

He pleaded with the communities never to let the evil actions of a few individuals diminish the belief and resolve to bring out better people through corrective actions.

Holomisa acknowledged the existence of the harm done to victims of crime and encouraged stakeholders to lend them support. “We shall be failing in our duties if we do not hold the hands of those who are affected negatively by acts of brutality, violence, rape and murder,” he said. “We must rally around them and help them to carry on.”

No bail for “Mr Bundu” in two cases of assault

By Kaizer Nengovhela The well-known actor, comedian and Tshivenda film producer Ntambudzeni Rasendedza of Tshovhilingana fame, better known as “Mr Bundu”, was denied bail when he appeared in court last Friday (6th). Rasendedza is facing charges of assault.

In the latest incident, “Mr Bundu” is accused of breaking his girlfriend’s foot. The incident allegedly happened on New Year’s day, but the girlfriend was apparently not allowed to leave the house. Only after the intervention of family members was a charge laid.

This is not the first time that Rasendedza has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend.

He appeared in court in September last year and was accused of burning the body of the woman, using hot plastic. He appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court and the case was postponed on several occasions. Bail was set at R750. He is to appear in the Sibasa Regional Court again on 13 March.

When Rasendedza appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s court on the latest charge, the matter was postponed for a week for a bail application. When he appeared again last Friday (6th) the two cases were combined, and the case was postponed to 13 March at the Sibasa Regional Court.

Rural tobacco farmer Nndweleni Mankhili of Makonde inspects some of the crops in his field.

Broker is proud of his tobacco crop News from Musina “Luphumo lu mavuni” (Wealth is in the soil).

This is the expression uttered by Nndweleni Mankhili of Makonde-Tshilulu village about his tobacco plants, a very unusual type of crop in the rural villages. This is the type of farming that is usually done by commercial farmers in zoned farming areas.

Though Mankhili does not supply his tobacco to the big and professional markets, he sells the dried tobacco leaves to local individuals who crush them to produce snuff.

A veteran insurance broker, Mankhili says

he wakes up at 04:00 every day. “I have trained myself to wake up very early to work in my field before engaging myself in my daily chores as an insurance broker. I make sure that my tobacco is well cared for because this is the type of crop that needs a lot of daily attention. I make sure that I return to the field at sunset to check if something did not go wrong during the day.”

He says he fell in love with crop farming while at school. “Although I excelled in mathematics and Afrikaans, I fell in love with agricultural sciences, especially the practical part of it. My happiest moments were when teachers sent us to the school gardens to do practical work. I never thought that the love of agricultural science would one day become the inspiration for my farming career.”

He said the land on which he was currently farming at Makonde-Lufulalunwe was a family plot that his forefathers worked and produced crops on. Although Mankhili admits that farming has many challenges, they do not supersede his interest in the trade. “Farming is a very challenging but interesting activity and if you are not dedicated, you can easily backslide. Most of my farming profit ends up paying for the costs to take care of the tobacco, but it is better than doing nothing at all.”

He encourages other community members to do something that can bring a little cash to their pockets. “Many people would argue that there are no jobs. I beg to differ somewhat with them because we can create our own jobs. There are many ways to kill a cat and we can do something that can change our lives for good. I also encourage young people to consider farming because it creates jobs and adds value to the local economy.”

Rofhiwa Nethwadzi releases gospel album

By Kaizer Nengovhela A resident of Tshirenzheni, Rofhiwa Nethwadzi, has decided to stand on his own and recently released a gospel album, Mbofho dzo fholowa.

Several years ago, he was the backing singer on a CD by the well-known Given Mafhala.

Mbofho dzo vhofholowa comprises 12 songs and a bonus track and, according to observers, Nethwadzi is fast becoming very popular in gospel circles. He has revealed that, although the album has only been on the market for a few weeks, it has already made a huge impact in terms of sales. It is self-marketed and distributed.

Some of the songs that are already popular with the fans are Yehova Riauvhidza, Rofuniwa nga Yeso, Vhamurena wa vharena, Daba, Mudiwo wangu and the title track, Dzo vhofholowa. He composed all the songs on the album. When asked how they intended to promote the new release, Nethwadzi said that performing live was difficult for him and his backing singers as they did not have musical instruments of their own.

On a more personal note, he said people could have everything they could wish for in life, but without God they would never enjoy life to the fullest. “We are all created in the image of God and we should pay back by praising Him and, in my case, it is through music.”

He said he was now back after taking leave from the music scene “because of piracy. It

We spent a lot of time trying to be creative, but after the release of the album, it could be sold everywhere for a mere R5 or R10.”

He added that it was very stressful and depressing “to find your sweat and toil on street pavements, being sold for next to nothing. We tend to lose focus from our creativity as we are not the ones reaping the fruits”.

He said it was his love of music that kept him going, otherwise he would have quit a long time ago. “I made a few changes to my new music, and the hit track Rofuniwa nga Yeso has a new complexion with a live acoustic guitar.”

He mentioned that they would continue “doing what we love best, giving quality music to our fans, no matter the odds. We appeal to the authorities to help us in the fight against the scourge of piracy by arresting and giving pirates heavy penalties,” he said. Those who want his CD can phone him on 076 463 7573.

First poetry book for Xitsonga writer Hlungwani

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho A local author and a resident of Mukhomi village, Miyelani Anthonia Hlungwani, has published his first Xitsonga collection of poetry, Hi le misaveni!

The title can be translated as “That’s how life is!” This book is published by his new publishing house, Muyimeri Publishers, that was established in January 2020.

“I had looked for publishing houses in South Africa, only to find that most of them were expensive for an upcoming author like me,” he said. “I then decided that it was a good time to open my own business, which includes an affordable option for upcoming authors who wish to self-publish with us.”

In his solo book, he employs strategies that help in creating mental pictures, such as metaphors, similes, sarcasm, personification and hyperbole. The book breaks down the definition of a poem, structure of poems, types of poems, and figures of speech.

“I also used the standardised words and the new spelling and orthography rules recommended by the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) in line with Xitsonga,” he said. “Now I want to do more, because I’ve seen that I can do it.”

Hlungwani is not new to publishing. Two of his poems were

featured in the ninth annual Sol Plaatje European Union Poetry Anthology in 2019. He was also steward of a well-known Xitsonga anthology, I Ndlopfu Ya Hina, where he graced the book’s pages along with six other poets last year. Hlungwani forms part of an initiative, the ReadWritePublish programme, that promotes indigenous self-publishing. He said that he was looking forward to publishing more books in African Languages, so that people could access and read them. “My publishing house is going to focus more on African languages books and other materials,” he said.

Sounds of Just-ice the award winner

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho Just-ice needs to introduction in the music industry as he made newspaper headlines and created an uproar on social media upon winning the Best Reggae Artist act at the Tshivenda Music Awards in 2019.

He had first realised the power of music when he was in secondary school some decades ago, and he has not looked back since that time.

“Today I am a songwriter and reggae artist whose

love for the sounds and beats and the infusion of meaningful lyrics cannot be erased from my heart,” he said. “In the early stages, there was a teacher who used to play a guitar in the class, and Just-ice strums the guitar. Photo supplied.

that’s when I became interested in playing music too.”

After completing his Grade 12, Just-ice went to pursue a music programme at the University of Venda.

“Music satisfies my soul, it gives me joy and motivation,” he said.

“Music is my life and it always gives me something to do.”

A resident of Tshipise Sagole, Just-ice was inspired by the music of Colbert Mukwevho. “His music is well crafted, and he is the best musician ever,” he said. “Meanwhile, I was mentored by Lufuno Makhoshi, who motivates me and helps me in every way on this journey of music.”

He received a nomination for the South African

Traditional Music Awards in 2010, and that served as motivation to even work harder as an artist.

His songs include, among others, Dj Vulelani, Hu tshinyalelwa nne, kha riite ri tshidalelana, U songo mphira Murena.

“My latest album is called Thonga ya Vhavenda, which was released last week,” he said.

“The message on this album is that people must stop abusing women.”

Just-ice, who was born Justice Mbedzi, is available on Facebook and can be reached on 076 376 0147.

The world of Wonder Juniper The well-known presenter of Phalaphala FM’s educational programme, Wonder Juniper, is the darling of all.

Juniper was born and bred at Ha- Khakhu Village (Mphagane area). He matriculated at Mathede Secondary. The saying goes: “Charity begins at home”.

This is relevant to Juniper’s official entrance into the radio industry as back in 1997 at Univen FM he honed his skills behind the microphone as a presenter until 2000.

He said that his stint at the campus radio was an excellent experience. In 2006, he joined the SABC as a presenter for SABC Education’s development and learner support.

As a presenter, Juniper is live on air between 20:30 and 21:00 on Monday, presenting a health education programme, on Thursday from 14:30 to 15:00 he presents science and technology and on the same day, from 20:30 to 21:00, he presents civic education.

Juniper promises to give the listeners the best of information in his all programmes. “One can never be complete without these aspects of life. I just hope I am sailing at the same pace as my listeners because this is truly our journey together,” he said.

Juniper is an avid student, with qualifications in international computer driving license at UNISA in 2007, a BA in communication science in 2009 at the same university, public relations (short course) in 2011 at UNISA and a BA Honns in media studies at Univen, corporate and ethics governance in 2012 at University of Pretoria, strategic management in 2012 at UNISA, an MA in communication, media and public relations in 2015 at the University of Leicester and he is busy with a PhD in media studies at the University of Limpopo.

Radio represented a wider platform for Juniper to express his ideas and he increasingly dreams of asserting himself as a key player in the media industry.

His most important goal is to keep radio entertaining, relevant and progressive. He encourages all those interested in breaking into the medium to study and get a tertiary qualification in the field. “You need to be a people person and must be able to communicate your thoughts, ideas, and information clearly and concisely, both in writing and orally. Follow those who are already in the industry and do research to learn more.”

He urges the youth to be serious with their education, so that they can make a significant contribution to the community in which they live. “Youths must stay away from drugs and criminal activities and prepare themselves for careers that will benefit them in life.” He also mentions that he was hungry for success and works hard to succeed. He has been shunting between roles and he ascribes his success to hard work, perseverance and effective time management.

Wonder Juniper.

Thulamela receives Petco’s recycling bins

By Ndivhuwo Musetha Thulamela Local Municipality has received a major boost in its quest to remain clean through the donation of 200 recycling bins from Petco.

The handing over of the bins was made at Tshedza Comprehensive School last Wednesday afternoon.

Petco is a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic recycling company that is responsible for managing the PET plastic industry’s extended producer responsibility.

According to Ms Tlou Sebola of Petco, the bins are meant to help the municipality to separate in different bins line paper, glass, plastic and cans.

She added that this was the second of its kind in Limpopo, following the one in Mogalakwena, to help Thulamela to

maintain its status as a clean municipality.

Sebola said the bins that the municipality was going to hand over to different schools would also help to create jobs through local recycling companies that would be allowed to come and collect the waste.

Thulamela Mayor Avhashoni Tshifhango said the donation of 200 bins would help the municipality to maintain its status of being the best in the green day competition, the greenest household competition, the greenest ward competition and the greenest municipality competition.

During the function, pupils from Tshedza rendered poems encouraging people to look after nature. Some, such as Ankonisaho Ramabulana, who won two carry bags from the department of environmental affairs, showed

their knowledge about recycling during quiz sessions.

The Department of Environmental Affairs, which was also part of the event, said good waste management followed the 4 Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle and recover as well as avoiding illegal dumping and littering.

Items that can be recycled include paper (cardboard, newspapers and magazines), glass (containers, jars and bottles), plastic (bags, containers and bottles), and metal (food and drink cans), tetra pack (foil-lined containers/ cartons such as milk and juice boxes) and polystyrene (white takeaway clips and food containers).

Every ton of glass recycled saves 1.2 tonnes of raw materials, aluminium cans are 100% recyclable while one ton of recycled paper saves 3m³ of landfill space.

The Masia Science and Maths Academy officially opened its new centre at Ramauba Secondary School last Friday.

The centre at Ha-Masia was donated by The SA Medical and Education (Same) Foundation.

The new centre is fully air-conditioned, provides for 31 computers and is the result of the school’s declared policy of keeping abreast of the latest computer technology in the interest of all its learners.

The pupils from Grade 10 from different secondary schools around the area are computer literate and receive Saturday classes. The centre accommodates more than 200 learners.

The centre has five well-equipped laboratories. Among its aims are to expose the disadvantaged rural pupils to the potential of the application of maths and science in their future studies and in the workplace, building knowledge and expertise in the use of science and technology and empowering neighbouring rural pupils who lack those facilities.

According to Mr Tyrone Pols from the Same Foundation, the donation comes as a gesture of social responsibility. “We noticed that many rural pupils were struggling, and schools were unable to give computer and science and maths

skills to learners because of a lack of computers,” he said. “Then we knew that it was our social responsibility to equip these pupils with computer lessons.”

He said that the centre could also have access to new technology. “We are living in times that demand for each one of us to be computer literate in order to get along well with the different modes of communication,” he added.

Mr Elijah Mhlanga from the Department of Education added that the donors had left a legacy for many disadvantaged learners, especially in the rural areas, who were not equipped with proficiency in maths and science subjects. “Not only does this affect job opportunities negatively, but also impacts on the South African economy, which is already faced with a skills shortage,” he said.

Thovhele Vho-Nthumeni Masia was over the moon. “I cannot describe how I feel. We are very excited, and we will make the most of this generous gesture,” he said.

Masia said the donation of the centre would enhance the pupils’ scope of learning. “This gift only indicates that we believe in education and our pupils. We are living in a world of digital technology where it has become a must for each school to have a well-equipped computer laboratory,” he added

During the official opening of the centre,Vho-Thovhele Nthumeni Masia, Vhamusanda Vho-Thixedzwi Masia, Vhembe West district senior manager Shumani Ravhuanzwo and Vha-Musanda Vho-Nndwakhulu Kharidzha are looking on while Mr Elijah Mhlanga is cutting the ribbon.

Laerskool Levubu Primary recently held a lucky draw to raise funds. The vision for the funds raised by the draw is to build ablution blocks for the ever-growing school. The school thanked all the sponsors for helping to make the lucky draw such a huge success.

The winning prize was two nights accommodation for six people at the Mopani Rest Camp in the Nxanatseni region of the Kruger National Park. “We would like to express our thanks to Mrs Ramabulana, the parent of one of our learners, for arranging the Kruger Park accommodation,” said the school. The second and third prizes were sunglass vouchers, provided by SpecSavers, Louis Trichardt.

“We owe our thanks to teacher Iné du Plessis for the arrangement thereof and to SpecSavers Louis Trichardt for the donation of the sunglass vouchers,” said the school. The first prize in the lucky draw was won by Mrs Suzette van der Westhuizen. The second and third prizes go to Mr Aifheli Thaba and Mrs Felicia Nemutandani.

“We would like to congratulate the winners and thank them for supporting our cause. Thanks to all the participants who supported our cause,” said the school. Pictured with the Vubie mascot is the children whose tickets were drawn as winners. Photo supplied.

R100 000 prize for Mudimeli High School news

Mudimeli High School in Nzhelele won the Eskom Simama Ranta schools entrepreneurship competition and received R100 000 during a ceremony in Polokwane last Friday.

A media statement about the event indicates that, besides running a successful tuckshop for more than nine years, as well as maintaining a productive vegetable garden, beading and knitting goods, the “Mudimeli Yes Club” is lauded for creating employment. Two locals from the village are employed to manage their garden and production lines.

The profit made from all sales are also used to plough back into society in the form of subsidised school excursions for learners who cannot afford to pay for them.

Simama Ranta (meaning empowering the South Afri-

can economy) was initiated 10 years ago by the Eskom Development Foundation, in partnership with the Education With Enterprise Trust (EWET). It aims to identify and acknowledge South African schools that are leading the way in education initiatives aimed at entrepreneurship. The intention is to encourage learners to become employers rather than employees.

“As agents of change, we have the responsibility to break the shackles of poverty through entrepreneurship. For us, being born into poverty is not a choice, but we believe that staying in poverty is.

Many young South Africans don’t have jobs, and many may never find employment, which is why we feel that our efforts are the solution. We would like to thank EWET and Eskom for teaching us that business can change our lives,” said an elated Mudimeli Yes Club

member, Vision Ramovha Mr Alfred Mafukaduvha, teacher and facilitator of the Mudimeli club, said that he hoped that all schools in Limpopo continued to fly the flag high. “We are grateful for the exposure our school has received through participating in the competition.”

Mahlasedi Special School, from Lebowakgomo, was named the provincial winner and received a R50 000 prize.

First runner-up was Taxila Secondary School, who won R25 000. In third place was Patrick Ramaano Secondary School, who was awarded R10 000 for their gardening, recycling and sewing projects.

The 2020 competition is now open to South African schools that run entrepreneurship clubs that teach learners the basics of starting and running a business while also responding to the immediate community’s social and economic needs.

Pupils and educators at Tshikota Secondary School received a boost during an event that was recently hosted by the Feed the Hungry Community Development Foundation.

The foundation’s representative, Mr Katlego Makgobole, told pupils to work hand in glove with educators to ensure academic excellence and better results. “We want to encourage both educators and learners, and further clothe the needy learners as a way of ensuring that no learner stays away from class because they do not have proper school uniforms,” Makgobole said.

The foundation donated 40 shirts, 40 pairs of shoes, 20 pairs of trousers and 20 skirts to the pupils. The donation was made possible with the assistance of Makhado Municipality’s chief whip, Cllr Dorcas Mboyi, Sempro Consulting and Malada Attorneys, who, among others, remain staunch supporters of the foundation.

“The foundation will orga-

nise back-to-school campaign we must make sure that our programmes every year,” young people get education and Makgobole said. “Learners are trained to not only become without school uniforms will professionals but responsible receive uniforms and the three citizens who will contribute to top-achieving learners who human and social progress,” obtain good academic results in Mboyi said. matric will be rewarded with a She concluded by reminding laptop and a shopping voucher the people that the main obeach.” jective of the event was to join During the event, pupils and hands as government, private educators were presented with sector and communities to nurcertificates of excellence for the ture a culture of learning and 2019 academic year and enteaching in the schools, and to couraged to work even harder. spread awareness of the imporCllr Mboyi acknowledged the tance of education in building efforts of educators, princian economically vibrant nation. pals, parents, school-governing bodies and all community structures in maintaining order in the schools for effective learning.

Matsila community without water Residents of Matsila village, which falls under the Collins Chabane Municipality, have been struggling for almost a year to get water.

Limpopo Mirror visited the area a week ago and spoke to several community members.

One of the complaints is that a borehole was drilled about five years ago, but it has never functioned.

Akani Mathebula, a mother of three, said: “I feel very uncomfortable every time I fetch water from the neighbours. They pay electricity for pumping out water, but they allow me to get the water free of charge. When are we going to have our own water? This limits me in whatever I want to use the water for.”

Mathebula mentioned that she used 420 litres of water every two weeks. Her only means of income is the social grant that she receives. “Imagine if I were buying water how much I would be spending per month.

I cannot afford this,” said Mathebula.

A couple of metres away to another member of the from Mathebula’s homestead, community, they were told that Limpopo Mirror met Martin water pipes had been stolen Mudau, who was returning when the municipality had from a visit to his grandmother. stopped pumping water from “I had come to check whether the nearest dam “Now they my grandmother still had water have drilled a borehole, so what for the day.

Baroka FC silence Black Leopards released aimlessly from outside the box, much to the disappointment of the team’s supporters.

Baroka finally broke the deadlock.

Their left flank, Ethen Sampson, made things happen after a defender of Leopards, Chris Katjiua, made a mistake and passed the ball to him. His long-range shot left the Leopards keeper, Rotshidzwa Muleka, flat-footed.

Both sides effected three changes in the last half.

By Kaizer Nengovhela

The replacements worked against Baroka as they played the last stanza with their backs against the wall.

Leopards lost cohesion and Baroka capitalised when Evidence Makgopa tapped the ball and scored the second goal after receiving a well-cooked pass from Dewin Farmer.

The two teams will play against each other on Saturday in the quarter-final of the Nedbank Cup at the same venue.

The match will start at 15:00.

Baroka FC paved their way out of the relegation danger zone when they silenced the much-feared Black Leopards 2-0 in their Absa Premier League Limpopo derby at the Peter Mokaba Sports Complex on Saturday.

Baroka took the game to Leopards from the first whistle, with their midfielders showing a spirit of commitment. They could have sealed the game within the first 10 minutes, but their strikers were not accurate in converting their obvious chances into goals.

Realizing that it would be difficult for them to match their opponents in terms of skill, Baroka used their dribbling skills to neutralize Leopards in the middle of the park.

Leopards were lucky not to concede half a dozen goals during the first half as they were out of touch in all departments.

Baroka missed two clear chances in the first quarter of the match. Nhlanhla Mgaga shot wide from close range after receiving a neat pass from Goodman Mosele. Shortly thereEthen Sampson of Baroka, Mumuni Abubakar (Leopards) and Evidence Makgopa (Baroka) after, Tshediso Patjie are running for the ball.

Academy and Tron clash in Vhembe derby

By Frank Mavhungu They lost 0-1 to Eleven Fast Tigers in their ABC Motsepe League match at the Tshifudi Stadium last Sunday, and now Venda Football Academy (VFA) are gearing up for another uphill battle against Tshakhuma RO Nandilani (TRON) at the same venue tomorrow afternoon.

Although they will be playing in front of their home crowd, collecting the maximum points will not be an easy task for VFA. TRON are in top form of late. They collected four points in their last two matches.

TRON are still fresh from a 2-1 victory over Ngwaabe City Motors at the

Tshisaulu Mmbengeni Kone grounds.

TRON jumped a step up on the log standings, following the victory. They are now in the 12th position after 22 matches.

TRON and VFA are two of the ABC Motsepe League teams that are coached by highly qualified mentors, Justice Mutileni (VFA) and Mashudu “Coolio” Ndou (TRON).

Rudzani Thabo, Unarine Kudzingana and Henley Mbedzi, VFA’s strikers, are geared to give the TRON’s defenders a tough time. On the other hand, VFA must keep an eye on Khuliso Phosiwa, Maboho Nevary and Ndivhuwo Makhado or else they will be humiliated.

VFA are in the fifth spot on the log

with 33 points.

The pace setters, Mikhado FC, will travel to Polokwane where they will lock horns with Makotopong Brazilians at the Nchabiseko Stadium. Mikhado are four points ahead of the second-placed The Dolphins FC. Mikhado have a match in hand. Their outstanding match is against Eleven Fast Tigers.

Ablex United will visit Ngwaabe City Motors at the Jane Furse Stadium, while Giyani Happy Boys will host Ollesdal FC. Magezi FC will entertain Ndengeza FC at the Ha-Manamela Stadium outside Polokwane.

The other fixtures are: Ditlou FC vs Polokwane City Academy and Mighty FC vs Berachah Valley FC.

If you do not score, you do not win...

By Frank Mavhungu In soccer, if you do not score, you do not win, no matter how entertaining the type of football you play. Venda Football Academy (VFA) learnt this the hard way last Sunday.

They played entertaining football, creating some scoring opportunities that they failed to convert and conceded one goal in their ABC Motsepe League game at the Tshifudi Stadium.

VFA went for the kill from the first whistle, with their midfielders distributing some telling passes to the frontrunners. VFA knocked on the visitors’ door for the first time seven minutes of the game.

Modjadji Maoto, the Tigers’ keeper, was given a wakeup call with Rudzani Ndou’s close-range attempt. Ndou received a neat pass from Henley Mbedzi just outside the penalty box and tried his luck with a half volley.

Maoto made his presence felt by braving the shot and

palmed the ball away for a corner kick.

Tigers regrouped from behind shortly afterwards, forcing the home side to lose cohesion in the middle of the park. Eleven Tigers came close to scoring towards the end of the first half. Their left winger, Kgabo Mphela, went loose from the left corner and unleashed a ground cutter from the 25-meter area.

The ball missed the target by inches, much to the fans’ disappointment. The scoreboard was still blank when the referee, Mr Mpho Mphigalale, blew the half-time whistle.

The goal that earned Tigers full points came in the 68th minute.

Pholooho Mamabolo was brought down within the box.

That prompted the referee to award a penalty to the visitors.

Katlego Motswane, the team’s captain, made no mistake from the white spot.

VFA were all over Tigers in the last 20 minutes of the Siyabusa Ntshagase of Tigers controls the high ball, game, but they could not find while Tsepo Chauke of VFA intercepts from behind. the equalizer.

Final Mabasa of Dengeza is in possession of the ball, while Kgaiso Phoshoko is on guard.

1-0 Victory for Mighty

By Kaizer Nengovhela Mighty FC played their hearts out to beat Dengeza FC 1-0 in their Safa Limpopo ABC Motsepe league match at Louis Trichardt on Sunday.

Mighty FC’s coach, Mr Lawrence Winster, was full of praise for his players. “Finally, we got it right. I think credit must go the players because they fought back really hard,” said Winster.

Mighty, much to the surprise of everyone, came out a different animal after the break to secure an impressive victory.

“You need to focus if you play teams like Dengeza. I told them we need to get a goal early in the

second half, because we didn’t start well. We played good short passes through the middle, and I told them if we can use that more we will score, so we came back and scored to win the game,” he said.

Dengeza FC’s coach, Mr Amukelani “JJ” Hlongwani, said that defeats were part of the game and that they must now focus on the next game. “Mighty are a strong side. We just need to prepare and forget about this defeat.

To fight with the big boys, you need more than talent. It’s tough,” he said.

The only goal of the day was scored by Karabo Selabe of Mighty FC.

Is Masibusane on AWOL?

who might know his whereabouts as his phone is switched off.”

The 29-year-old midfielder joined TTM in January this year on a short-term deal that will last until the end of this season, with an option to renew it, depending on his performance.

All attempts to get hold of Zongo telephonically were unfruitful.

The newly signed Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC (TTM) midfielder, Masibusane Zongo, has not reported back to work after the team’s game against Cape Umoya United on 28 February.

“Zongo asked to go home to see his child after the game,” said the team’s communications and marketing manager, Mr Tshidino Ndou. “The team made arrangements for him to fly back on Sunday, instead of travelling back with the whole team on Friday night.”

However, at this stage, nobody knows where he is, and it is still too early to conclude the player has gone back to his old infamous ways of disappearing without notifying the club.

“All we can say now is that Zongo did not report for work when training resumed on Tuesday (3 March) and we will wait for him to return before we can further discuss this issue with him,” Ndou The 29-year-old midfielder, Masibusane said. “We are anxious Zongo. to hear from anyone

Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) must beat JDR Stars when they meet them in their GladAfrica Championship League match in Pretoria tomorrow afternoon to keep their title hopes alive. TTM are on course for the league title, following their two successive victories.

They beat Cape Umoya United 2-0 at the Cape Town Stadium two weeks ago and came back home to defeat TS Galaxy 1-0 at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Saturday.

Should they manage to collect the full points tomorrow, TTM are likely to jump from the fourth to the second position on the log.

That will, however, depend on the result of the match between Swallows FC and Uthongathi FC that will be played at the Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg. Swallows and Uthongathi are in the second and third position with 40 and 39 points respectively. Should Swallows and Uthongathi play to a draw and TTM beat JDR Stars, the Tshakhuma side will move to the second spot.

JDR Stars lost 0-3 to TTM in their first-round league match at the Thohoyandou Stadium about four months ago. JDR Stars are still in a celebratory mood after beating Steenberg United 1-0 at the same venue last Saturday.

The combination of the TTM’s goal poachers, Ndabathethwa Ndlondlo, Mboniseni Mbandlwa and Naeem Amojee, is expected to keep the Stars’ defenders running for cover for the better part of the game.

The log leaders, Ajax Cape Town, will host TS Galaxy at TTM’s striker, Naeem Amojee.

Nedbank Cup

Black Leopards and Baroka clash again

By Frank Mavhungu After donating league points to Baroka FC in their Absa Premiership League match at the Peter Mokaba Stadium last Saturday, Black Leopards are determined to exact sweet revenge when they meet the same side at the same venue tomorrow afternoon. This time around, they will be fighting for a place in the semi-final stage of the prestigious Nedbank Cup KO competition.

Asked about their level of readiness for the game, Black Leopards’ assistant coach, Mr Allan Clark, said things were going according to plan in the camp. He said everyone in the camp had put last weekend’s defeat at the back of their minds, saying their regarded that as water under the bridge. He further stated that the players knew tomorrow’s match was a cup match and that they would get no second chance if they allowed a repeat of last week’s match.

He reiterated the fact that they should not have lost against Baroka last Saturday, saying their worst result should have been a draw. Lidoda

Baroka’s midfielder, Nhlanhla Mgaga.

Duvha lost 0-2 to Baroka. Clark described the two goals Baroka scored as a gift from his players.

According to him, his team managed to contain Baroka for the better part of the game and conceded two “silly” goals that came as a result of his players’ careless mistakes.

Clark’s counterpart in the Baroka camp, Mr Dylan Kerr, said he did not understand why Leopards were fighting for survival while they had quality players such as Lesedi Kapinga, Lifa Hlongwane and Mwape Musonda.

Some of the Baroka players whom Leopards must try and contain include Nhlanhla Mgaga and the former Leopards slender striker, Ivan Mahangwahaya.

Highlands Park will play against Mamelodi Sundowns at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa. Park beat Kaizer Chiefs on their way to the quarter-final stage of the competition.

TS sporting will host Bloemfontein Celtic at the Kanyamazane Stadium outside Nelspruit on Sunday. Real Kings and Bidvest Wits will meet at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Durban this evening (Friday) starting at 20:00.
