Alleged cop killers in court Crime Hardly a week has passed since Limpopo Police Commissioner Lt Gen Fannie Masemola promised the family of the slain policeman, W/O Thomas Mabada, and the people of Limpopo that the police would leave no stone unturned in the hunt of the killers. The 52-year-old warrant officer from Tshivhilidulu outside Thohoyandou, who was attached to the Siloam police, was killed in an ambush while chasing armed robbers from Siloam towards the Thohoyandou area at Lwamondo a fortnight ago. The police made a major breakthrough last week when they arrested three suspects, two of whom were positively linked to the murder of the dedicated policeman. One of the suspects could not be linked to the murder, but he has been connected to other cases allegedly committed with the other two. According to Limpopo police spokesperson Col Ronel Otto, the suspects were arrested by a team of detectives

and crime intelligence members who were investigating cases of business robberies in the Mogwadi area. “They followed up on information and traced the suspects to the Thohoyandou area last Wednesday evening. The suspects attempted to run away, but they were traced down and arrested. Further investigations already link the suspects to house robberies, business robberies and vehicle hijacking in the greater Thohoyandou area,” she said. Otto further indicated that intensive investigation by the detective team then linked two of the arrested to the murder of the policeman. Three suspects, Norman Mnisi (33), Thivhileli Hlungwane (23) and Dakalo Makhavhu, first appeared in the Mphephu Magistrate’s Court on Friday on a separate charge of attempted murder of another police officer and vehicle hijacking. Norman Mnisi and Thivhileli Hlungwane later appeared in the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court on a charge of murdering W/O Mabada. Makhavhu could not be linked to the murder of the police officer.

During the funeral service of Mabada, Lt Gen Masemola hailed the team that worked around the clock to nail the killers. “As we said, we would not leave any stone unturned in tracking down the killers and other criminals. We are happy that three of the most wanted are now behind bars, but there are still some outstanding and we are making an appeal to the community to expose them. These criminals we arrested stayed at houses and people accepted blood money. Please let us expose them and that we make this community free of crime,” said Masemola. The arrest and subsequent appearance in court of the alleged killers of Mabada came as good news to the family. “The speed with which the police managed to hunt down and arrest the killers gives us hope as a family. The killing caused a lot of pain in the family, but we are comforted by the way the police are handling this case. The arrest will also ease the pain we have as a family,” said Zakes Mabada, a family member. Norman Mnisi (33).

Nkuna opens Malamulele Crossing Property mogul Mike Masingita Nkuna, who has built malls in different parts of South Africa, says he is no longer working for himself and his family but is now working to uplift his community. Nkuna officially launched his newest development, Malamulele Crossing, a fortnight ago. This will be a mall project that occupies 14 000 square metres and is expected to yield 600 permanent jobs. He said that he was now focusing on bringing major development projects in rural areas and that other malls were coming to the Greater Giyani Municipality, Makhado Municipality as well as the new municipality in Vhembe that covers some parts of Vuwani and Malamulele. This former panelbeater says that he has achieved his dreams of having money, but now he thinks of creating jobs for rural people, so that they are

able to drive the wolves from their doors. “When someone is from the village of Xitlhelani in Malamulele and grew up herding cattle, even if one ends up being successful, it is not easy to forget where you come from,” he said. He was motivated to pursue property development after admiring two famous South Africans, the late Soweto civic leader Ephraim “Mshengu” Tshabalala and another tycoon, Richard Maponya. Mshengu is that civic leader who once had the desire to buy the whole Soweto. “Some people die before they realise their dreams, but I am lucky that I realised mine. My concern is that, after realising my dreams, I must now change the lives of other people," he said. The Deputy Minister offor Tourism, Ms Tokozile Xasa, hailed Nkuna for initiating massive developments in the rural areas. “The last time I came it

was all smoke and fire as you were demanding a municipality, but now I see happy faces and there is no sign of smoke,” said Xasa, who urged the community to look after people's property. Businessman Joe Mathebula, who attended the event yesterday, said he was happy with what Nkuna was doing for rural communities. Dr Jan Nkuna, brother of Mr Mike Nkuna, hailed his brother for not forgetting the rural communities where he came from. He referred to annual donations he makes to rural communities each December, where Nkuna donates food parcels to the destitute and the vulnerable. Local civic leader in Malamulele Brian Maluleke said that it was commendable "when one of our own decides to invest at home and provide jobs to his people and that will also assist in developing the new municipality.”

Another killing shocks Madombidzha The residents of Madombidzha village were left shocked in the wake of a murder where a Zimbabwean man was stabbed to death in the street. It is alleged that the two men who originally came from Zimbabwe were walking in the street at around 19:00 a fortnight ago. They were apparently approached by two other men, whereafter one of them was attacked and stabbed with a screwdriver. According to the spokesperson for the Tshilwavhusiku police, Sgt Thilivhali Maloa, the police were alerted to the incident and responded quickly. “We found a male victim lying dead on the ground at a certain street,” she said. “He had been stabbed in the chest with a screwdriver by known suspects. He sustained severe injuries which could possibly have led to his death.” She indicated that the deceased was later identified as Samuel Tapfumana Makumbe. The police’s investigations led to the arrest of the first suspect, Simon Rasta Moyo (20). Moyo was charged with murder and had since appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate's Court on 2 November, where his case was postponed to today (13 November). The second suspect is still at large. The chairperson for the Zimbabwean community in Limpopo, Mr Gift Eglone, had expressed his disappointment with the people who opted to fight and end up committing murders when there were differences between them. “They should make an effort to contact us if they have any challenges,” he said. “We will see and put to scale the matter and, if their problems need the police's intervention, we will refer it to the police. As the Zimbabwean community we want to put the point forward that we work hand in glove with the police and other departments or structures, which promotes peace, safety and security here in South Africa and everywhere on the continent. When we look we might find out that they killed each other over nothing – I mean a small matter which could have been resolved.” Vhamusanda Vho-Ntsundeni Sinthumule said that he was appalled by the incident where a foreigner killed his own countryman in a foreign land. “This is so disturbing because it all comes down on our shoulders as community leaders, and this gives

us a bad name – that we are killing one another,” he said. “We had experienced similar cases in the past, where foreigners killed each other. However, it had all stopped after we had made a public announcement where we instructed all our traditional leaders to document all foreigners for influx control and crime-prevention purposes.” Vho-Sinthumule said that a public announcement would be made for all foreigners to be registered or documented at the local traditional leaders' offices. Eglone can be contacted at 071 083 0867.

In custody: Simon Rasta Moyo.

Louis Trichardt residents, together with members of the South African National Defence Force and military veterans from the Bush War (1966 – 1989) took a moment to

remember the sacrifices made by war veterans in service of their country as part of Remembrance Day. At 05:00 on Monday, 11 November, 1918, an armistice was

signed by Germany and the alliance nations, ending hostilities during the First World War (1914 – 1918). At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of that year, the guns fell silent. The war

that was supposed to end all wars had come to an end, but not before an estimated nine million people had lost their lives. In remembering those who died in the war and subsequent wars, Remembrance Day is commemorated annually. The Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTHs) of Louis Trichardt held their service this past Sunday at their Turbi Hills Shellhole. As part of the ceremony, two minutes of silence was observed to remember those who paid the ultimate price for their country. Following this moment of silence, soldiers and military personnel laid wreaths at the Turbi Hills’ remembrance wall, while members of the Air Force Base Makhado formed an honorary guard. The Turbi Hills Shellhole was named after the place where the first South African was killed in North Africa during the Second World War. Tim Kleinenberg was killed on January 25, 1941, when he was shot by a German sniper. He also hailed from Louis Trichardt. It is worth mentioning that the Turbi Hills Shellhole has some of the largest private military memorabilia to be held at a South African shellhole. A private viewing can be organised by phoning their Old Bill Alan Odendaal at 083 660 2472.

4 13 November 2015 Education

Pupils must associate with good friends An official of the Department of Justice in Pretoria, Mr Rodwell Mudzanani, recently emphasised the importance of good education to the learners of his former school, Dzivhani Primary School. He motivated them to work hard and also indicated to the teachers and parents to commit

themselves wholly to the pupils and help them in every possible way. He told the learners to establish study groups and also to associate themselves with good friends. Mudzanani also said that the scholars must encourage one another to use their time wisely and not always play after school. They must also assist their parents with some household chores, he added. A member of the school-governing body, Mr Lambani, told the parents that they must always encourage the pupils to go school and to become dedicated pupils. During the event, the principal of the school, Ms Aluwani Matshidzula of Ha-Rabali (Sokotenda Village) gave birth to triplets in the Siloam Mr Rananga Collins, Hospital last Friday.

Any form of violence against women and children is not part of our nation building. South Africa’s nation building seeks to promote a non-sexist, non-racial, united, democratic and prosperous society without any hidden agenda. Today, the biggest threat to our society is violence against women and children, hence our popular slogan: “No violence against women and children!” As a country, we need a socially cohesive society where violence against women and children will be out of fashion; where people will speak out in one voice against abuse towards women and children; where people will fight any form of exclusion or marginalisation of women. We need a society where all of us, irrespective of our gender, will feel the sense of belonging in our rainbow nation. Even the National Development Plan (NDP) is clear that violent means are not acceptable in our democratic country. Remember, the NDP envisions that by 2030, all of us who will be living in this peaceful country must feel safe and have no fear of crime; that we should feel safe at our respective homes, schools, work place and enjoy an active community life free of fear. The NDP is clear that, in the next 15 years, we need a socially cohesive society where women can walk freely in the street, while our children can play safely outside without fear. We must always remember that becoming a socially cohesive society where both women and children will no longer be violated starts with the reporting of all forms of abuse against the vulnerable people in our society to the police. In a well-oiled democratic state like ours, with an independent and effective justice system, there is no need for so-called mob justice. In this government, we have the police service which is a well-resourced, professional institution staffed by highly skilled officers who value their work and are committed to serving the community. Our men and women in blue are prepared to safeguard our lives and property without discrimination, protect the peaceful against violence, and respect the rights of all to equality and justice. As long as all of us can understand that nation building is not a task of the government alone, we can only build a cohesive society that shares a common identity; that we need to double our efforts to eradicate this scourge in our communities. As South Africans, we need to show the world like we did during the dawn of our democracy that gender-based, violent crimes don’t build nations. We are known as people who flourish in terms of finding solutions to our challenges through robust dialogue as a way of reaching out to one another. My fellow South Africans, we know that it is not easy, but we have no choice, as we need to build one national identity out of multiple identities based on class, gender, age, language, geographic location, and religion. We don’t need divisions anymore, we need a society with a value system that is based on Ubuntu, a society which promotes caring for and respecting others, and one way of achieving this is

to refrain from all forms of abuse against women and children. With the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children around the corner, as a nation, let us intensify our efforts of no violence against women and children through encouraging every member of our society to understand that violence against women and children is NOT a government or criminal justice system problem, but a societal problem that needs all of us to work together. The campaign takes place every year from 25 November to 10 December. South Africa adopted the campaign in 1998 as one of the intervention strategies towards creating a society free of violence. The campaign continues to raise awareness amongst South Africans about the negative impact of violence against women and children on all members of the community. As government, we are challenging all silent gender-based crime victims to talk about painful experiences, so that they can get help. We are also urging our children to be brave by reporting bullying to their parents, teachers, community structures or law-enforcement agencies. Nation building will become a reality when all forms of abusive behaviour against women and children are totally eradicated in our society, so in true Madiba style, we say it is in our hands to stop violence against women and children. - Ms Faith Muthambi, Minister of Communications.

Farewell to a dedicated policeman A huge crowd of people from all over the country gathered at Tshivhilidulu village outside Thohoyandou on Saturday, to give the slain W/O Thomas Mabada a befitting send-off. He was accorded a full police funeral. Among the dignitaries who

attended the funeral were Transport, Safety and Liaison MEC, Ms Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana, Limpopo police commissioner Lt Gen Fannie Masemola, Cllr Tshitereke Matibe, the executive mayor of Vhembe, and Mayor Grace Mahosi of Thulamela. The event took place in a big tent at

the gate of the local cemetery. Mabada (52), of Tshivhilidulu, who was attached to the Siloam Police Station, was killed while pursuing armed robbers from Siloam towards the Thohoyandou area at Lwamondo. Family spokesperson Zakes Mabada said his death had left them with sore hearts and that they believed his burial would ease the pain the family was feeling. “Thomas was a unifier and leader in the family, and we had hoped that, with his wisdom, he would lead us for many years, but death robbed us of this genius. His death left a void that will be hard to fill,” he said. Limpopo CPF chairperson Mr Edward Mafune urged communities to work in conjunction with the police in the fight against crime. Lt Gen Masemola urged the police not to hesitate to defend themselves, their colleagues and the community. “We have given you the equipment and trained you how to use them.

The launch was held at Cross Road House (Muromani) in Madombidzha village a fortnight ago. Speaking after the event, Jah Lady said that the launch was successful and added that it had also bolstered her music sales. “The launch has taken my reggae career to a higher level,” she said. “I have received massive support from my fan base and fellow artists. I am confident to announce that the artists here in Vhembe are one – we are united by the love of music and our zeal to take it to the people.” Jah Lady had recorded a reggae album earlier this year, Ndi do mu gwadamela. According to people who had already bought and listened to the songs contained on the album, Jah Lady gives her all as she takes listeners to greener pastures with her velvety voice. A fellow artist Tshidino Ndou said that he was impressed with the way Jah Lady had organised her launch. “Top artists came in numbers to support the launch,” he said. “Malondolo, Mashudu Nematoka, Zwido, Dzudzi, Cornerstone, Sikheli Junior, Chris Thiba and Nditsheni “Ndiche” Ramalamula were all there. Their performances left the crowd begging for more. Artists should continue supporting each other.” Jah Lady said that the pressure had already started

New CD for gospel veteran Albert Mudau By Elmon Tshikhudo

Gospel artist Albert Mudau released his much-awaited CD, Lord I just want to thank you, during the past month. This is his eighth CD and Mudau said that it felt like the beginning of his music career as he had recorded his seventh in 2013. “This is my best ever album and that it is the reason why I dedicated it to the Lord, giving thanks for all He has done for me. The road thus far has not always been smooth, but the Lord helped me soldier on and on.” Mudau said that he had taken such a long time to come out with a new album, because of the many commitments he had. “I am a teacher attached to the Gauteng Department of Education and I am also busy completing my Honours Degree in Education. I view education as the best tool that one should have and my advice to other musicians is that they should take their education as a priority and then their talents will be realised easily,” he said. He further indicated that he would not have

achieved this much had it not been for the support he got from his wife Judith, whom he described as his pillar of strength. “She is everything to me. She assists in editing songs and also does the selection of the songs,” added Mudau. Mudau’s new CD is available at local music shops or it can be ordered directly from him at 082 509 4259.

Rewards for Eltivillas’ best pupils Several outstanding pupils from different grades at Eltivilas Primary School received certificates and trophies in recognition of their achievements in academics and extramural activities during an event at the school last Friday. The principal of the school, Mr Johan Fick, said it had become important for the school to have such a special day at the school before learners started with their end-of-year examinations. “Our learners are failing and not because they do

not know what they are writing about, but because they are not prepared for the examinations. Let us prepare them in advance,” he said. He said learners had to make informed decisions if they dreamed of making it successfully in life. He said the decision to make it in life lay with the individual learner. “You either choose to make it or fail in life, but whatever unwise decision you make, will come back to haunt you later in life,” she said.

Fick also encouraged the youth to pray for whatever they want in life. “Today’s youth is known to forget and to look down upon the power of prayer. Let us change all that and start believing that, with hard work and God, everything is possible,” he said. He concluded by encouraging all learners to use their time profitably. “There is time for everything; allocate more time to your school work and you will get the best results at the end of the year,” he said.

The top pupils in astroquiz are Tshegofatso Ngwato, Livhuwani Mahada, Faith Muthelo and Ndzalamo Baloyi. With them in the photograph is Mr Takalani Siphuma, their teacher.

Engen has launched the Gateway Truck Stop at Beit Bridge in response to customer requests for an on-road refuelling site, serving long-haul vehicles travelling to Musina and beyond into Africa. According to Mr Mike Stead, Engen Commercial Fuels Manager, the company plans to keep growing its network where there is sufficient demand. The site at Beit Bridge was taken over by Engen on 1 September. After significant upgrades, it now boasts new equipment and facilities, which demonstrate the company’s commitment to health, safety, the environment and quality standards. “Like all Engen Truck Stops, this new site provides safe and secure facilities for long-haul drivers,” says Stead. “Drivers can have a bite, refuel and use the rest areas, which offer ablution facilities, showers, and security fencing with controlled access. A wellness clinic is also operating daily. Good driver health has a massive impact on the lives of drivers and their families, in terms of reduced exposure to diseases and longevity of a breadwinner,” adds Tasneem Sulaiman-Bray, Engen General Manager: Corporate Affairs. As part of the launch of Gateway Truck Stop, Engen will also be holding Driver Wellness events, offering free health screenings for drivers.

“Use water sparingly,” asks Provincial Government All residents of Limpopo are being urged to heed all calls to use water sparingly, respect water restrictions and observe all guidelines to save water. This comes after the provincial executive council of the Limpopo government had taken a decision to declare the province a disaster area through national prescripts. The spokesperson for the Limpopo government, Mr Phuthi Seloba, said a

thorough assessment of the drought situation had found that all districts and local municipalities in Limpopo were facing the worst drought conditions recorded in years. The declaration of the province as a disaster area will assist the government to unlock the necessary resources to assist the affected communities, he added. “Currently, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has set

aside R3 million to assist affected farmers through the provision of livestock feed. However, this amount does not cover other areas, such as human consumption. It is for this reason that the executive committee is unlocking other avenues, including the activation of the Drought Relief and Disaster Management Act of 2002,” he said. He said that the provincial treasury and Department of Water and Sanitation would provide further assessments.

Opinion

Water situation: “We must learn from our experience”

t is now in the public space that there were serious water supply issues in most areas of Vhembe district last week but one. This development was ostensibly an upshot of the dissatisfaction of water-supply staff within the district municipality over arrear benefits, the minute details of which remain murky to the general public. Ironically, the general public bore the brunt of the strike action in no small measure. A municipality should operate on the mandate of the electorate. A pedestrian understanding of this mandate is service delivery. It bears noting that water is in important resource which in point of fact is a basic necessity in all households and sundry. It is almost unforgivable to deny residents this basic necessity for whatever reason. This is not to underplay the significance of the

The strike is apparently over, and water slowly trickled back into the taps. We now need to learn from the experience. The only indicator that we have learnt from the experience will be collaboration aimed at avoiding a recurrence of this untenable situation. The municipality was set up by us, we voted politicians who provide oversight thereof into office. We need to support them to support us. It should be a symbiotic relationship. Problems should be resolved amicably between elections and peacefully during elections. It seems proper to commend the district municipality for displaying leadership in this difficult situation, and for updating, albeit somewhat belatedly, the community on developments. The workers also need to be commended for contributing to the resolution of the problem. It is hoped that next time, if there will be a next time, and one hopes not, the municipality and its staff will work out problems even before the community gets wind of them. - Khuliso Nemadzivhanani

cause of the action by the water-supply staff. The object of this trajectory is to bring into sharper focus the need to resolve differences before they spiral out of control, as was witnessed this past week. Failure to take steps to obviate developments like these timeously invariably gives rise to multi-pronged problems for the immediate and distant future. First we inculcate an orientation that one must resort to unorthodox means to resolve problems. Secondly, we reinforce into the consciousness of the youth that strike action is the primary means to resolve issues that we feel strongly about. Thirdly, we allow our immediate interests to cloud our judgement to the point that we take steps that are tantamount to cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. Interpretation possibilities are multiple and varied. We may be able to control what we do now, to some extent, but we cannot, however we desire, control the impact of how we conducted ourselves a fortnight ago on our youth, who, by happenstance, are the embodiment of our future.

Tshililo Donald “Bingi Ras” Khanari reggae presenter The Phala Phala FM reggae music presenter, Tshililo Donald “Bingi Ras” Khanari, ventured into radio in 2005 at Univen Radio, where he started off as a newsreader and field reporter. He became the presenter of the Current Matters and Reggae Beat programmes and also had a short stint in the higher echelons of the station, serving as production manager for about a year. He said that his stint at campus radio was an excellent experience. He was only appointed after his third audition at the station. “The first one I qualified for the second round, but didn’t attend because it was after hours and I had to catch a bus home. Later I failed to impress when I eventually attended a second audition. At the third one, I went for the kill and the door was opened for me.” He was surely born not just a radio presenter/producer, but also a media man. A cameraman of note, Khanari also cut his teeth in writing as a contributing scribe for Univen’s Nendila in-house magazine, Thulamela newsletter, Rise and Shine and the Valley Messenger newspapers. “Writing is just something ingrained in me. Many a time I express my deep emotions through writing, so yes I was born a

scribe,” says the energetic producer. In 2008 he joined the SABC as a presenter for SABC education’s development and learner support. In 2012, Khanari was roped in as a content producer for Tshiko, working with Rotenda as her producer. About his work on Tshiko Khanari says: “We tackle things provocatively - anything that matters the most to Johnny in the street and to Zuma at the Union Buildings - from politics to economics, labour, sports, education and social life.” As a presenter, Khanari is live between 12:00 and 14:00 on Saturday, and promises to give the listeners the best of reggae sounds in “Muzika wa Reggae”. About the music he says: “Reggae gives me the much-needed spiritual connection with the Creator of mankind, social consciousness and historical reawakening. One can never be whole without these aspects of life. I just hope am sailing at the same pace as my listeners because this is truly our journey together, more Fyah!” He adds that he is a proud father and “very much taken by a very special goddess of a lady.” Defining his dress code, Khanari says; “Casual wear is my style. Labels matter less to me, I wear anything that covers my body, but still suits me well.”

R10 million for Mapungubwe Festival

On Friday the Madodonga Primary School awarded certificates to pupils who had excelled at academic level and during reading competitions at the school. Pupils also had an opportunity to display some trophies which were awarded to them during the circuit, cluster and district competitions. Photographed with the pupils are principal Mr David Tshirangwana (left) and Ms Joyce Mphaga (right). Picture supplied.

Limpopo’s Department of Sport, Arts and Culture promised that this year’s Mapungubwe Festival will be bigger and better than ever before. The department allocated R10 million to the festival that will take place in Polokwane from December 4-12. During the Mapungubwe Festival, the cultural heritage of South Africa is celebrated. It is used for the purpose of setting a stage for both the renowned and the upcoming artists through exhibitions, plays and dramas and it includes a gospel and jazz festival. “We promote Mapungubwe as a renowned World Heritage Site in our province because of the rich history in this area,” said the MEC, Nandi Ndalane, in her keynote address. Ndalane encouraged South Africans to attend the Mapungubwe Arts Festival and to come and experience the beauty of Limpopo. “Events like this festival positively contribute towards improving the economic growth of the region through tourism and job creation.” Ndalane added that there will be traditional dances throughout the programme, together with

the art exhibitions that will involve artists from Zimbabwe and Mozambique. There will also be an open festival for up-and-coming local artists. “Our main aim is not to make profit from this festival, but to market our province and show our talent. The money we are going to collect will help to reduce some of our expenditure. In total, we are going to have more than 60 artists who will perform and 44 of the 64 artists are from Limpopo,” said Ndalane. She said that local artists from Limpopo would make up 80% of the line-up of both the gospel and jazz festivals. According to Ndalane, some of the artists who will perform at the festival are Oliver Mtukuzi, Hugh Masekela, Sipho Hotsticks Mabuza, Ray Phiri & Stimela, Colbert Mukwevho, Malondolo, PJ Powers, Thomas Chauke, Ringo Madlingozi, Joe Shirimane, DJ Rabs Vhafuwi, DJ Nganyani, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Worship House and many more.

Mixed fortunes for TNN in Nedbank Cup games Tshakhuma Na Ndilani (TNN) are still battling to come to terms with what happened to them last Sunday. They were booted out of the Nedbank Cup 0-2 by Tau Tau FC from the Capricorn Region. TNN beat Jane Furse Highlanders from Sekhukhune Region 3-1 in the semifinal earlier that day. Their game against Tau Tau was equally contested, but TNN squandered more scoring opportunities. Realizing that their left flank was not as sharp as they needed him to be, TNN replaced their diminutive striker, Junior Mashavhathakha, with Desmond Netshiungani 14 minutes into the game. Godfrey Mudau, who scored a brace in their semifinal game against Highlanders, could not live up to the fans’ expectations and the defence gave him no breathing space. The visitors took the lead in the 24th minute. Their overlapping midfielder, William Mokwalakwala, forced his way through the defence of TNN and beat the keeper with a ground cutter. TNN effected another change to their starting line-up before the end of the first half. They introduced Rolivhuwa Mukwevho at the expense of Rendani Mukomafhedzi in the 39th minute. Tau Tau approached the last stanza aggressively. Their centre forward, Frank Serubarube, was brought down within the box and the referee, Mr Takalani Ratshilima of TNN (down) and Zacharia Mashishi of Tau Tau Eric Munyai, award a penalty against TNN. The wrestle to win the ball. keeper of TNN, Stanely Matamba, made his presence felt when he braved the shot and executed a brilliant save. Tau Tau were awarded another penalty after the TNN keeper, Stanely Matamba, tackled Jan Moshishi illegally within the box. Matamba was warned with a card for his actions. Dominic Khuduwe converted from the white spot to make it 2-0. Jackson Mabena of Tau Tau was later given his marching orders, following a second bookable offence. Tau Tau will play against the ABC Motsepe overall winner on a date and at a venue Mpho Manthato of Tau Tau kicks the high ball. still to be announced to determine the team that will represent Limpopo Province in the national last-32 stage of the competition.

The referee did the unexpected when he flashed a yellow card at a time when everyone thought he would give Lethole his marching orders. Defenders threatened to score for the first time in the 40th minute. Fhatuwani Matshusa received a beautiful pass from his captain, Fhedzisani Mualudzi, and unleashed aimlessly from close range. They replaced Ndivhuwo Sikhwivhilu with Tshishonga Tshishonga early in the second half. Mulalo Lethole of Defenders hit the woodwork in the 78th minute and the ball landed outside the field of play for a goal kick. Azwindini Mungoni of Dragons was booked for a late tackle late in the game.

Gogobole Home Defenders were crowned as the champions of the off-season soccer tournament, when they beat Ravele Black Dragons 6-5 on penalties at Ravele on Sunday. The game ended in a goalless draw and the winner was determined via penalty shoot-out. Dragons’ leading goal scorer, Marubini Maupa, missed a clear opportunity when he fumbled at the goal finish shortly after the start of the game. He received a neat pass from Mpho Ramakgolo within the box and shot wide with the stranded keeper already beaten. Maupa committed another blunder a little later when he failed to connect Azwindini Mungoni’s square pass. Mulalo Lethole, Defenders’ centre back, was lucky to get away with a yellow card.

Education will never forsake you, and you can bank on

it,” he added. A member of parliment, Mr Moses Tseli, praised the sponsors and added that he was very proud “that we have grown young people of real quality.” He stated that he was convinced that the league would produce stars who would receive international recognition soon.

Several important ABC Motsepe League matches in Limpopo this weekend The affiliates of the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League will play their fifth league matches this weekend. It remains to be seen whether The Dolphins will continue from where they left off last weekend, when they beat Nkowankowa Barcelona 2-1 at the Nkowankowa Stadium. The Dolphins

will host Giyani Hotspurs at the Elderado Stadium in Polokwane. Mighty FC will play in front of their home crowd. They will host Joe Maweja FC at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Maweja’s defenders, Dakalo Ratshitanga and Mashudu Makhari, must double their efforts or else they will regret it.

Great North FC will travel to Giyani, where they will fight for league points with Bilika All Stars at the Giyani Stadium. The mood is good in the camp of Bilika after holding the defending champions, Magezi FC, to a goalless draw at the TT Cholo Stadium in Polokwane last weekend.

The hosts also threatened to score three minutes later, when Nassif Morris’s header brushed the crossbar. After few attempts in the last half, Baroka finally found the goal that earned them three significant points through Thabiso Kutumela in the 75th minute. The victory sees Baroka move to the top of the NFD log. Black Leopards ended their four-match winless streak by beating Vasco da Gama 2-0 at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday.

Coach aims high Black Leopards will be campaigning in the Absa Premiership Division come next season - that is if the words of the team’s new head coach, Mr Kostadin Papic, are anything to go by. The Serbian national was unveiled as Lidoda Duvha’s new mentor last Friday. According to Papic his aim is to see the Thohoyandou side returning to the elite league at the end of this season. He reiterated the fact that he wanted to see Leopards gaining automatic promotion to the elite division when the league activities for the current season came to an end. He is not keen for the team to try their luck in the promotional play-offs like it was the case in the previous two seasons. Papic admitted, however, that although gaining automatic promotion was still possible, it would not be easy for them, considering the position in which they found themselves now on the log. They are lying on the eighth spot on the log with 14 points accumulated from 11 outings - ten points behind the logleaders, Baroka FC. He appealed to the team’s fans to stop panicking, saying the days of losing home matches are over. Three of the five matches that Black Leopards had lost were home fixtures. They lost 0-2 to Cape Town All Stars, 2-3 to Mbombela United and 0-1 to Highlands Park at home while their away defeats were against Amazulu and Santos. Although he was announced as the team’s head coach last Friday, Papic could not sit on the team’s technical bench when his team beat Vasco da Gama, as he was still to update his work permit. Black Leopards’ next fixture will be against Witbank Spurs, with whom they will fight for league points at the Puma Rugby Stadium in eMalahleni next Saturday, November 21.

By Frank Mavhungu After suffering four losses in a row, Black Leopards made a comeback and registered a 2-0 victory over Vasco da Gama in their NFD League match at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday. The victory was a warm welcome to the team’s new head coach, Kostadin Papic, whose appointment came into effect last Friday. Realizing that it was difficult for them to match the home side, Vasco tried to frustrate Leopards with their rough tackles. They did not get far with their wrongdoings as their marksman, Sibusiso

They replaced Katlego Molomo with Mcdonald Ntshingila 25 minutes into the game. Ntshingila combined well with Kgabo Mashiane in the middle of the park. Lidoda Duvha broke the deadlock in the 34th minute. Ruggert Nyundu headed home, following a square pass from Marks Munyai to bring the half-time score to 1-0. Leopards’ left-footed midfielder, Ndamulelo Mungadi, was out of touch in the last half and he was replaced with Meshack Maphangule nine minutes in. Leon-

ard Ntshangase, Leopards’ fast forward, was reprimanded with a card for ignoring the referee’s whistle. He kicked the ball long after the referee, Mr Siyabonga Biyela, had blown the whistle for an offside. Leopards’ keeper, Vincent Moto, denied Mbulelo Wambi what everyone thought was a sure goal. Wambi unleashed a powerful half volley from the edge of the box, but Moto braved the shot and palmed the ball away for a corner kick. Leopards increased the margin in the 78th minute when Leonard Ntshangase beat the keeper with a ground cutter. The game turned lukewarm in the remaining 15 minutes.
