Hawkers and muni discuss challenges In an abrupt move on Tuesday morning, hawkers who are trading in Louis Trichardt town left their stalls for almost three hours to engage municipal officials about their trading challenges. Hawkers from all hawkers’ spots in town, including Eltivillas and the taxi rank at Shoprite, left their stalls and went to the show grounds hall in an effort to resolve their challenges. The meeting was attended by Makhado municipal officials, the Makhado Business Forum (MBF), the Makhado Hawkers Association and the hawkers themselves. The hall was packed to capacity, with some hawkers highlighting the problems they experience and how they should be solved. The group stressed that challenges such as the issuing of trading licenses, the annual operational fee Penta-Tôrô Holdings PTY (ltd)

increment, the state of toilets and illegal traders should be addressed. The annual operational fee increment had angered the hawkers since its reinforcement earlier this year. Apparently the municipality was also issuing trading licenses without consulting the relevant committees as had been agreed. It also emerged during the meeting that there was a man who often supplied hawkers with stock and was allegedly improperly granted a license to sell in town. This has infuriated hawkers as they are no longer making a profit, since the man is luring away their customers. The municipal officials undertook to investigate this complaint and establish how the man had obtained a license. The licensing assistant manager in the municipality, Mr Bernard Mokiri, told the hawkers that the operational fee increment challenge had received attention from the municipal council. He told the hawkers that the council was going to address this issue. He insisted that there was a plan to eradicate the challenges of illegal hawkers who usually trade in town during the festive season. Apparently, there is a group of people who illegally trade in town during the festive season without permits from the municipality. The chairperson of the MBF, Mr Dickson Khoza, was chairing the meeting and urged hawkers to attend these meetings and use it as a forum to solve their problems. He said the forum was prepared to help any business in town that was suffering as a result of the municipality or the local government departments. “We are also looking forward to extending our relationship with the municipality and we are striving to root out challenges faced by businesspeople in town,” said Mr Khoza. The group of hawkers urged the municipality to find a solution for regulating immigrants, specifically Zimbabweans, who were trading illegally in town.

“Die poppe gaan dans!” was the warning of Ms Paula Mokaba Phukwana, Limpopo MEC for Transport, Safety, Security and Liaison. She was addressing the cream of the crop at the third annual Limpopo Police Prestige Awards for outstanding service. This glitzy event was held at the Ranch Protea Hotel in Polokwane last Friday (7th). Translated loosely, she was warning her crowd of listeners that more arrests of corrupt police officials would follow. Phukwana echoed the message of the provincial police commissioner, Lt Gen Fanie Masemola, who had previously applauded his members for not only fighting criminals, but arresting their corrupt colleagues. “We will not tolerate cops selling out their fellow cops who do fight crime,” said Phukwana. “Let it be known: we are not only going to take the fight against crime to our streets, but we are also going to rid the force of all corrupt policemen,” she added. Even though Phukwana and all the top brass of the provincial police had harsh words for corrupt officials, Phukwana also took the time to dance in celebration with top achievers. Excellence was rewarded for the year 2013/14 in five categories, namely administration, visible policing, detectives and detective groups, special awards and the provincial commissioner’s award. Although the Polokwane SAPS dominated the event, the Makhado SAPS also impressed and managed to win a top award and several nominations during the evening. The cluster commander of the Makhado SAPS, Brig Alex Seopa, was awarded the Best Cluster Commander, handpicked by provincial commissioner Masemola himself. The police protection unit against family and child violence was placed second in the category for Best Detective Groups in the province, while Simpson Mphelo, the Makhado Community Police Forum’s Chairperson, was also nominated for his service to the community. Further winners in the administration category were PPO Kika Bham (Admin Level 1 to 7)

Rehabilitation
When Sam Mathabathe grew up in a family where carpentry was the order of the day, little did he know that one day he would help people with carpentry. Now he is helping people who have wronged the community - offenders. Sam has been doing carpentry for the past 19 years and he has dedicated 11 years of his career to teach offenders. It came as no surprise when the Portfolio Committee on Corrections noticed his talent during their visit to Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre. They were so impressed that they placed an order for Sam to do carpentry at their posh offices, and one of the people was the first citizen of the country, Pres Jacob Zuma. When asked why he had chosen carpentry, the quiet and shy Sam had this to say: “I grew up in a carpentry family and I fell in love with the job. The good part of it is that it requires creativity, and that’s what I am good at. It is challenging and I like a challenge,” he beamed. When asked about working with offenders, the cool-as-a-cucumber Sam said that he enjoyed working with offenders, since he was helping them to hone their skills, so that when their time is ripe to go back to their respective communities, they will have something to do in order to fend for themselves to avoid recidivism. One of the offenders who is working directly with Mathabathe, Rampamba Muthianzhele, said that he enjoyed doing carpentry and he was learning every day under the leadership of Mathabathe. “I was doing the very same job before I was incarcerated for statutory rape, which I regret every day of my life. Under the guidance of Mr Mathabathe, I have gained great experience that I will utilize when I go outside”.
When asked about the role of Correctional Services in the rehabilitation of offenders, Tshifhiwa Magadani, the spokesman for Thohoyandou Correctional Centre, said: “The responsibility of Correctional Services is first and foremost to correct offending behavior in a secure and safe environment in order to facilitate the achievement of rehabilitation.” He further indicated that rehabilitation is the result of a process that combines the correction of offending behavior and human development. Magadani further said that rehabilitation should not merely be viewed as a strategy to prevent crime, but rather as a holistic phenomenon incorporating and encouraging social justice and social responsibility.

Jubilation turns into frustration for road user
What’s happening at Home Affairs?
Residents’ initial jubilation that the Makhado Municipality is tackling the issue of potholes in the streets of Louis Trichardt is now turning to frustration for many. All across town the municipality’s initial urgency in starting to repair the pothole-infested streets a couple of weeks ago is seemingly starting to fade. The reason for the frustration is that the municipality starts fixing potholes by cutting them open and filling them with a thin layer of tar. These “cut-outs” are then left unattended for weeks on end, before they are finally filled to road surface level. Examples of this “half-completed” work can be seen all across town, such as in 2nd Street in Eltivillas. Alwyn Street (between Leeu and Eland Street) is also a good example. In Alwyn Street, the potholes were merely cut open and not even given a tar covering. This was done weeks
What is happening at the newly built offices of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) in Louis Trichardt? Questions were put to the DHA’s provincial office after hundreds of people from all over the Vhembe district flocked to the Makhado Home Affairs office in Anderson Street, most of them just sitting outside in the parking lot for days on end. Most of the residents are pensioners who had either applied for their new Smart ID cards, or had applied for the cards and come to collect them. Since the opening of the office in March this year, very few people have received their new ID cards. The Limpopo Mirror has been tracking the situation at the Makhado office for the past two months while awaiting a response from the DHA on several media questions put to them during October. Initially, the DHA’s provincial office was approached, after Ms Sue Rose of Louis Trichardt asked the newspaper to get involved. She claimed that she went to the office to apply for the new Smart ID Card for herself and her husband in September. They are both pensioners and naturalized South African citizens - Sue by descent and her husband by naturalisation - and like all other pensioners, approached their local office to handle the application in the month of their birthday. Following countless emails to the local and provincial office managers, the Rose couple was informed that theirs was a special case and that the system was not ready to process their application for the new ID card. This was confirmed by the DHA Vhembe District Manager of Operations, Mr Naledzani Mukwevho, this week. “It is not legislation. It is a technical issue. The way the system is designed [it] cannot process applications by naturalised citizen[s]. A process is underway to accommodate this type of application,” said Mukwevho in an email to the newspaper. What upset the couple was that the Makhado DHA office was inaccessable. They had to stand in queues, sometimes not even in the offices but outside, without being assisted. As the weeks turned into months it became clear that not only the Roses were having trouble. The newspaper was able to determine
ago and, with the recent thundershowers, the “cut-outs” washed out, resulting in the road’s being even worse than before repair started. Road users now argue that these “half-completed” pothole repairs are actually causing more damage to vehicles than the initial potholes. The snail’s pace at which the potholes are repaired, after the initial urgency, gave rise to questions as to why the work had slowed down. Another project raising questions is the construction of the paved section of Kruger Street between Rissik and Erasmus Street. This project also seems to have come to a halt, with construction workers seen working for one or two days and then nothing happens for days on end. Is the municipality experiencing money problems to fund the repairs or is it once again a question of unqualified or unskilled contractors being appointed to do the repairs?
The Limpopo Mirror asked the Makhado Municipality exactly these questions, with municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi responding on Tuesday. In his response, Bobodi gave no reason as to what is causing the delays. He merely stated that they [the municipality] was busy surfacing all prepared potholes and that they were no longer preparing new ones. “All the prepared potholes will be surfaced before the end of November,” Bobodi said. As for the questions relating to the contractors being appointed and shortage of funds, Bobodi said: “There is no contractor involved and there is no shortage of money relating to this project.” With regard to Kruger Street, Bobodi added that construction work will also be completed before the end of November this year.

that the Makhado office only helped those people who showed up first. People would be let into the office, until it was filled to capacity, and then the doors would be shut, only letting people from outside in if a consultant became available. Most days, this means that the office works until the evenings to assist the people still inside the office, leaving those outside to come back again the following day. The situation has escalated to such an extent that a mini-market is operating outside of the offices. For the last two weeks, vendors have been travelling to the Makhado offices to sell their goods to waiting pensioners. Waiting pensioners pay up to R50 or more to come to the office by taxi and return home without being assisted. Mrs Sarah Ratshichakhelwa and her friends travel to the office at least once a week to try and collect their Smart ID Cards. They, like most of their fellow queuers, are worried that if they do not get the new card by the end of this year, they will be unable to collect their grants and pensions. The DHA finally broke their silence this week and said that pensioners had been led astray by false information. Mukwevho indicated that this was also the reason why people have crowded in front of the Makhado office. “The turn-up at Makhado has been extremely high, due to false information about the imminent cut-off date for pensioners. The Makhado office has embarked on an outreach campaign to inform pensioners that their current documents are valid for the entire seven-year [phasing-out] period. Pensioners were also informed that they need to apply in the month of their birth. This will limit the numbers as pensioners currently come to apply at any time, even if it is not the month in which they were born,” said Mukwevho in his press statement. Mukwevho also reassured local residents that, even though they might struggle to get hold of their new ID card, their current green ID book will remain valid. “There is no link whatsoever between the Smart ID and SASSA grants, beside the normal function of identification. People will still be able to receive grants and pensions,” said Mukwevho.
News from the local courts
“The country needs a relevant teacher training curriculum that addresses the needs of schools, the teacher and the profession with relevant tools in the production of an effective teacher,” said Mr Samuel Mukhavhuli. He recently launched a book Challenges of teaching and learning in South African schools – A reflection on teacher production and classroom practice. Mukhavhuli, who is a former member of the Univen council, ex-teacher, inspector of schools, and deputy director-general, is now a consultant.
The 26-year-old Mashudu Milanzi appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court on Monday on a charge of murder. His appearance in court follows an incident where a man, whose name the police declined to reveal at this stage, was stabbed to death on Friday evening. The incident took place near the Masedi Combined School. The spokesperson for the Makhado police, Const Irene Radzilane, said the police were busy investigating a case of murder, following the incident. “According to the information received, it is alleged that the suspect, Mashudu Milanzi of Tshikota, went to the Makhado SAPS to report an incident of a person who allegedly wanted to rob him,” she said. “The police rushed to the supposed scene of the crime, but on arrival the victim was found lying dead in a pool of blood with stab wounds over his body.” Milanzi was, however, then arrested and placed in police custody,
where he currently remains. * In another incident, three men have appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court in connection with a recent gang rape. The suspects, Malugana Malindi (19), Gumani Rambau (21) and Tumelo Khorommbi (21), allegedly attacked a 26-year-old woman and her boyfriend when the couple were on their way from a local tavern. According to the Tshilwavhuku police’s spokesperson, Const Munyadziwa Marindi, the boyfriend saw the firearm and knife which the suspects produced and immediately ran away for his life. “They then grabbed and dragged the woman to a spot where they allegedly took turns to rape her,” Marindi said.“The police have confiscated a toy gun which is suspected to have been used by the suspects when they allegedly committed the crime.” The three men will appear in court again on 19 December. They remain in custody.

Spiritual motivation for pupils of Dididi schools The head pastor of the Living Gospel World Mission in Dididi, Pastor Samuel Madzebe, recently held a day to motivate local pupils to study hard. He invited all graduates from the village and surrounding areas to come and attend the event at the church, dressed in their academic regalia. The church's academic Sunday was held and pupils from Grade 8
to 12 received valuable tips for their final examinations. "We felt the gowns would inspire the pupils and they would emulate what others had achieved and study harder. The other thing was that we wanted to show them that, no matter the odds and background, it is possible that they could achieve their goals in life," he said.
Madzebe added that there was a shortage of skilled people in the area and that the church should take a lead in motivating the youth to take education seriously. "Education is the only key that could open doors to brighter futures for these kids, and with prayers, all their dreams could be realised," said Madzebe.
Members in academic regalia encourage pupils to study harder in order to pass their examinations. In the photograph is pastor Samuel Madzebe and pupils from different schools.

Several wildlife protection groups have called upon residents not to kill endangered species such as pythons and to rather notify authorities in order for problem animals to be relocated. The Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA) and the Wildlife Protection Unit of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) condemned the killing of endangered species. The NSPCA also urged people to stop perceiving these animals as threats. Recently, a rock python was killed in Tshisele village outside Thohoyandou. The residents regarded the snake as a threat and also the cause for the disappearance of livestock such as chickens. Nature conservation non-governmental organizations, however, called on people to refrain from such deeds. According to the NSPCA, pythons are a protected species under the National Environment Management: Biodiversity Act and killing them is therefore illegal. The National Senior Inspector at the Wildlife Protection Unit of NSPCA, Isabel Wentzel, says many animal species, such as rock pythons, live alongside communities and have been doing this for decades, without the communities' knowing about their existence. “It is only once the community members actually see the animals that they end up believing that man and animal
cannot co-exist and want the animals removed or killed,” says Wentzel. WESSA supports this notion and urges the public to understand the role of snakes as it is similar to that of owls. “An important role that snakes and owls, for example, play in our society is that they keep the rodent population (rats) controlled and therefore protect us from diseases we may catch from rats in our homes,” says Catherine Ritchie from WESSA. According to WESSA, all species on the planet, including humans, have a purpose in maintaining the balance in nature. The NSPCA said that snakes are commonly regarded by superstitious people as ‘evil’ and these people believe they must be killed. Snakes are also collected by traditional healers and often misused to extort money from their clients by playing upon their beliefs. Wentzel adds that, in most cases, the animals will do no harm unless confronted and cornered by humans. “People need to learn to see the benefit in having these animals around their communities rather than removing them. In many cases when an animal is removed, another will take its place very quickly and it can actually encourage an increase of the same species in order to fill the void of the removed specimen,” she says. Both organizations appealed to members of the public to consider contacting Nature Conservation's offices when they encounter problem animals. “Most of Nature Conservation's offices have contact details for ‘snake catchers’ who catch and remove snakes from conflict situations and relocate them elsewhere. The SPCAs can also sometimes fulfil this duty,” she says.

A python that was apparently terrorising the community of Lufune by eating their chickens was killed a few weeks ago. Community members found the reptile and killed it. Standing with the snake are, from left to right, Dzivhu Masakona, Vhatanzi Nemadzhilili and Tshifhiwa Ravele. The SPCA as well as other nature conservation groups have called upon communities not to kill endangered species such as pythons. They urge community members to rather contact the necessary authorities, so that the animals can be relocated.

Tshirolwe Trust supports local primary school The Tshirolwe Trust presented gifts of school T-shirts, pens and at least 50 dictionaries to pupils of Tshirolwe Primary School during a ceremony last Friday. The chairperson of the Tshirolwe Educational Trust Fund, Mr Norman Mahuwa, said the trust also wanted the children to start the 2015 academic year with energy and motivatated in the knowledge that they have dictionaries and basic stationery. He explained that the trust was started some years ago by about 20 community members who forked out money from their own pockets to sustain the trust’s projects. He indicated that they also appreciate the little financial help they get from some local businesspeople. The pupils demonstrated their appreciation on receiving the gifts by doing traditional dances, reciting poetry and singing. The school’s principal, Ms Violet Radzilani, extended the school’s heartfelt gratitude to the Tshirolwe Educational Trust Fund. She explained that the former principal, Ms Bony Sinthumule, had first initiated the relationship between the school and the community some three years ago. “Ever since that time, we have been benefiting from the trust as they seem to understand our needs best,”
she said. “The dictionaries will help our learners learn English better as they will readily refer to them each time they come across new words in their texts.” In 2012, the Tshirolwe Educational Trust Fund handed school uniforms to about 50 pupils in the school. All those pupils came from needy families.
The pupils received dictionaries and new school T-shirts.

Heavy fines were imposed on several affiliates of the Safa Vhembe MMK Administrator’s League during a disciplinary committee meeting in Thohoyandou last Thursday. Vleifontein United pleaded guilty to the charge of assaulting the referee when playing against Tshikwani Stone Breakers and a fine of R4 000 was imposed on them. The points for the match were awarded to Stone Breakers. Madombidzha Arsenal were found guilty of causing the abandonment of their match against Tshiozwi Anchors. A fine of R5 000 was imposed on them and they also forfeited points to Anchors. Ramokgopa Young Brothers failed to pay the referees’ fee in their league match against Mutandani Pull Together. The committee found them guilty of that and ordered them to pay a fine of R6 000. They also forfeited points to Pull Together. The case against Makhitha Iyanga and Makhitha Oscar Stars was withdrawn and the league ordered that the match be replayed. The match between Benny’s Care and Makhitha Oscar Stars, which was not played to the finish, will also be replayed. The teams which were found guilty must pay their fines within 30 days.

Mourricce Ramachela’s first album doing well By Kaizer Nengovhela Mourricce Ramachela of Maila village recently released his debut album, The children are crying. It is already very popular and is doing well at local music outlets. Ramachela stared singing as a member of the school choir in the late 1990s, and he says that the seven-track album is part of his journey to artistic excellence. It started many years ago and all his efforts culminate in his first album. The offering boasts powerful tracks, such as the title track Athi mustinda khala Afurika, Thathanda dza murango and The living voice. Judging by the response the album has received since its launch, all indications are that it will catapult him to greater heights. “I have been wandering around. I saw most of the things in the world, but there was one thing that I was missing in my life: that is God. Now that I have found the Lord, everything has to change and my life has to bear testimony that I have changed, and that is where this album came into being,” he said. He says people could have everything they
could wish for in life, but without God they will 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.” Ramachela said in as much as he was still prepared to dish out good music, he was worried about the rampant fake music industry that was mushrooming in Vhembe. He said music pirates, the Ama Ten Ten, were destroying the music industry and they should be stopped in their tracks. Fans having problems to get copies of the album can phone him at 0761222684 or 071 8365470 to order a copy.

Elekanyani back with a bang By Frank Mavhungu After vanishing from music circles for almost four years, a resident of Siambe village, Elekanyani Tshabuse, has made a comeback with his second reggae album. According to Tshabuse, it took him about six months to record the album until it was finally released last month. The new release, Marching to Zion, boasts ten tracks. The opening song on the album the title track, Marching to Zion, is followed by a prayer song, Faranani Ma-Africa (literally meaning Africans must unite). A song that is already driving the fans crazy is Ni a delele. The song is about a spoilt child who tells his parents about his rights when they warn him about being disrespectful and against drug and alcohol abuse. Elekanyani Tshabuse is not a new name in the music industry. His love of music dates back to the time when he was a keyboard player of the worship team for the Emmanuel Grace Fellowship Church at Dzingahe village in the late
nineties. That is where he met Mr Nkhumeleni Rasikhinya. Together they recorded an album, Nwana was muvenda. The album was recorded at the Londotainment Recording Studio in Pretoria and released in December 2010. Due to family poverty, Tshabuse went to Pretoria where he worked as a hawker, selling fruit and vegetables after completing his Grade 12 in 1999. While working as a hawker, Tshabuse enrolled for a diploma in fitting and turning with the Pretoria West College. He dropped out of the college due to a lack of funds. He later enrolled for a diploma in marketing with the University of South Africa, a qualification he could not complete either, due to a lack of time management skills. According to him it was difficult for him to study while, at the same time, the pressure to be in the recording studio was growing with time. Although he intends to enroll for a diploma in recreation and leisure studies at the University of Venda in the next academic year, he has reiterated the fact that music will remain part of his life until he dies. According to him, he has already started working on his third album which is likely to be released in the second half of next year. Tshabuse can be phoned on 072 354 2930 for booking live performances.

The Grade 7 pupils of Ganyane Primary School in Tshakhuma Maungani received dictionaries, Bibles and school bags during a recent farewell ceremony at the school. In the photograph, the pupils are holding their gifts. By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho
Policeman urges pupils to take education seriously Those who only see police officers as people who arrest offenders are mistaken. W/O David Tshilande of Mutale also helps to motivate pupils from rural schools to take education seriously. On Friday, W/O Tshilande visited Magiledzhi Primary School near Mutale and told pupils to take education seriously as a means to defeat poverty and unemployment .
During the event, the school also bade farewell to the Grade 7 pupils. A “graduation ceremony” for the Grade R pupils was also held. “We want our pupils to be focused on educational matters and nothing else. Education can make young people to become respected citizens of the country,” Tshilande said. According to Tshilande, he is on a mis-
sion to meet pupils, teachers and parents and to motivate them to work jointly as one big family and to improve the life of communities. “If our pupils are not motivated, they may end up taking alcohol and drugs as means of entertainment. Our pupils are our future leaders and if they are motivated and moulded well, they will lead the country with vision,” he added.

Bookings can only be made with Mr Lawrence Khodobo between 08:00 and 16:00 and no other bookings will be accepted. “Please do not leave a voice message on any phone and presume your booking has been accepted. It will not be accepted. We also ask that you do not leave a message with one of the kennel staff,” said Mrs Bea Reimer of the local SPCA. All pets, cats and dogs, must be inoculated, de-wormed and bathed or dipped before coming into the kennels. “We will need proof of yearly inoculations, as well as rabies inoculation when you bring your pet in,” said Reimer. Inoculation must take place 10 days before the pet is brought to the kennels. Reimer and Khodobo must also be made aware of pets on medication while these are at the kennels. “If you intend leaving your pets at home during the holiday, please make adequate arrangements with a reliable
person for them. Remember, there will be fireworks while you are away, so be prepared,” Reimer warned. The boarding fees are R40 per dog per day and R30 per cat per day. Office hours at the kennels are Monday to Friday from 08:00 until 17:00 and Saturdays from 08:00 until 13:00. The kennels are closed on Sundays and public holidays. People bringing their pets must do so within business hours. P ets left at the kennels over the weekend must be picked up on Monday, unless arrangements are made before the time. The SPCA is also in need of books and magazines, as well as jumble (clothes, shoes, toys, kitchen utensils, ornaments and any other jumble) for the frequent jumble and book sales. Goods can be dropped off at the kennels along the Vondeling Road between 08:00 and 16:00.

Church celebrates life of Benedict Daswa
Memory Siphephile Malapane and her team at her shop. Entrepreneur
Hard working Memory lives her dream In 2006, money was tight and she was sleeping on the floor of her shop in Sibasa with her two daughters, but Memory Siphephile Malapane didn’t mind – she was living her dream. Eight years have flown by, as have the blood sweat and tears required to successfully start your own business, but today Memory has a legacy she can be proud of thanks, in part, to the De Beers Zimele Venetia Mine Business Hub. In 2011, Memory and her husband got a divorce and she was faced with a difficult decision. She could give up her decorative shop and return to a conventional nine-to-five job where her salary was guaranteed, or risk failure and continue to run the business on her own. The choice for Memory was obvious. “I had tasted the good life, and it was too painful and hard to go back. I did not want my children to have a hard life or to experience the heartache that I did.”
Fortunately, a business friend recognized Memory’s potential and recommended that she approach the De Beers Zimele Business Hub for a low-interest loan. Memory applied for a loan to the value of R100 000, which she used to purchase stock and expand her business to include a second branch in Louis Trichardt. As a result of the funding, she could retain the jobs of the four individuals currently in her employ and create an additional three jobs. Memory’s shop is called ‘Best Enough’ and represents her strong belief that her best efforts are enough to ensure success. She trades in decorative home items, including cornices, PVC ceilings, glue and rhino boards. Today, Memory has repaid her loan in its entirety and her business is thriving. She dreams of developing her enterprise further to include branches in Musina and Tzaneen. She is also researching the possibility
of starting a small spare parts counter in conjunction with her current store and has already started researching this idea and testing the local client base. “At De Beers Zimele, the interest is low and the service is good. Here I have found someone who speaks my language,” says Memory. When asked about Memory’s success, hub manager Stanley Boloko says, “Memory’s small business was at risk of closing. By partnering with her, we were able to save four existing jobs and create an additional three employment opportunities. For us at De Beers Zimele, jobs are precious and we do all that we can to sustain and promote them within our local communities. We are very proud to have played a role in Memory’s success and we hope to partner with similar entrepreneurs and business owners in the Thohoyandou area in the near future.”

New kitchen for Masereni Secondary The days of cooking pupils’ food in an open area at Masereni Secondary School in Khomele village are over. This came about after Mabirimisa Bus Services recently donated funds used for a new kitchen at the school. During the handover ceremony a fortnight ago, school principal Mr Tuwani Muhanganei hailed the bus company for providing
them with the kitchen. He said the kitchen would help eradicate their difficulties, specifically during rainy days, when they cannot cook at school. The manager of the bus service, Mr Robert Mabirimisa, said they felt they should assist the school after the principal had approached them. He said the buses had been operating in the area for decades and they felt they should give
back to those communities. He also appealed to the residents of Khomele to continue using their buses. He said it was of paramount importance for people to work with their local councillor and strive to fix the gravel roads. The chairperson of the school governing body, Mr Bendani Fhalalani, stated that they would ensure that the new kitchen was treasured and looked after.

Burglar receives three years Angry residents barricade roads in Vhulaudzi village The 27-year-old man who was allegedly terrorising the communities of Nzhelele in Mandiwana, Siloam and Mandala has been sentenced to three years in prison. Mr Magadzire Luckson initially escaped from Siloam hospital while being guarded by the police. This followed after Magadzire was shot by a community member during a housebreaking attempt. He had allegedly stolen television sets, cell phones and DVD players from var-
ious homes in the area. He was shot in Mandala village in the right leg whilst he was running away with some of the stolen goods. Magadzire was charged with more than six cases of residential burglary, being in possession of stolen property and escaping. A fortnight ago, Magadzire was sent to jail for three years after appearing in the Dzanani Magistrate's Court. Some of his cases are still pending and police investigations are continuing.
Mr Luckson Magadzire, who was allegedly terrorising communities in the Nzhelele area.
Communities of Vhulaudzi in Nzhelele are convinced that the Siloam police are improperly conducting investigations into various incidents that occurred in the area over the past three years. The community’s complaints recently came to light when the body of an elderly woman was found in Phadzima village last month. After the discovery of the body, members of the different communities subsequently barricaded the main tarred road in an effort to convince the police to hunt the suspect. So far, no one has been arrested and police conducting an inquest. Last Tuesday, an established Vhulaudzi crisis management committee meeting deadlocked with the police after a series of meetings. The appointed committee accused the police of failing to handle crime incidents in the area. The spokesperson of the committee, Mr Albert Mafhala, claimed that police officials were improperly cooperating with them. “We initially agreed that the police would work with us to help solve those cases, but now they are just arresting people in our communities without consulting us,” said Mafhala. Apparently the police have arrested some of the people who were involved in the barricading of the main road which passes by the village for public violence. Those people were subsequently released on "free bail" and are going back to court on 11 December. Mafhala said they would support those who were arrested for public violence when they appeared in court. Siloam police spokesperson W/O Edward Tharaga said the appointed committee walked away from

the meeting, claiming that the police should liaise with them about those cases. “We cannot discuss cases when the investigations are at an intensive stage,” said Tharaga.
He added that the aim of those meetings was to calm the communities and resolve the strike not to allow them to interfere in the investigations of the police.
A Limpopo traffic officer who, some years ago, was a general labourer working for a chain store in Hilbrow, is today a doctor of philosophy and has been hailed as an inspiration. During a thanksgiving function held in his honour at Khoroni Hotel last weekend, Dr Thinandavha Munwana (46) of Biaba at Nzhelele told guests of the hard road he had travelled to reach where he is today. Munwana, who is the traffic chief at Thulamela, has already presented papers at the esteemed Makerere University in Uganda and is believed to be the only traffic official to hold such a qualification Limpopo, and probably the whole country. "My background has not been good and, after completing my matric in 1989, the only option I had was to go and look for employment in Gauteng. The first job I got was a general labourer at one of the leading chain stores in Hilbrow, where I was earning R295 per month. Life was difficult as I did not have a place to stay and did not have food. Later on I found a job at Anglo American as a security guard and working at night gave me a chance to study part-time, whereupon I qualified as a traffic officer and worked in Randburg," he said. He added that he relocated to Makhado and later to Thulamela Muncipality as traffic officer. "All along I never stopped studying and qualifications followed each other until I registered for my doctorate, which I completed last year. The lesson I can give to others is that, no matter the odds, if you are determined to make it in life, follow my example and you will reach your goals," he said.

The life of a poor rural woman has changed for the better. Named Blessing, her life was a total contrast to the name as she experienced poverty at its worst. But recently, just like her name says, she was blessed abundantly. Matamela (42) of Ha-Luvhimbi outside Thohoyandou has been staying in a downgraded mud hut for years, which she shared with her five grown-up children, with no privacy for herself. When it rained, the dilapidated hut was always full of water. All this is now history – thanks to the Power and Authority Christian Centre Church at Tshidzini, who built her a modest two-roomed house. The house was recently presented to her by the local councillor, Tshimangadzo Malada, local traditional leader Chief Gerson Masikhwa and the leader of the church, Apostle Prince Mutshekwa. Mutshekwa said they had heard of the poverty the family was going through and acted as instructed by the Bible. “We cannot only look at the spiritual being, but we should also bring meaningful change in the community and take care of the physical being.” He added that they had also presented food parcels to needy families, “but this is the first major project and we hope that, through God’s grace, we will in future build more houses for the needy.” The ecstatic Matamela could only say “God is Great,” with tears flowing down her cheeks. “I still remember we were crammed in this hut with my five children when heavy rain fell. I sat
on the flooded floor and prayed to God that He must send someone to build us a house. God has been so good to us, and I just pray that He blesses the church for this gesture,” she said.
An emotional Blessing Matamela shows the curtain that used to seperate her from the children.

Traditional dancing keeps hospital colleagues together Colleagues at the Tshilidzini Hospital have come together and formed a cultural group, which is fast making a name for itself. Started out of boredom and love of the Venda culture, the Tshilidzini Cultural Project is fast endearing itself to the hearts of cultural fanatics, so that no function at Tshilidzini is complete without their performing. They sing and dance malende and other Venda traditional dances. During a recent summit at the hospital, the group was called to perform several times as people could not get enough of them. Dressed in their colourful Venda traditional dress, called minwenda, and accompanied by traditional drums and traditional
baskets (mifaro), they were a spectacle to watch. The leader of the group, Josephine Ndou, said the group was started out of boredom during lunch time. “We would eat and after eating it would be gossip time, as you know women. This was creating animosity among ourselves. We came out with the idea of killing time by singing and dancing and the rest is now history. We are nearly 40 and we perform during functions here at the hospital and sometimes outside.” She added that the group also met during weekends. “It is not only a cultural group anymore; we are a closely knit group of sisters who are handy to help each other at any given time,” said Ndou.
It is practice time for members of the Tshilidzini Cultural Project.
Mayor Mihloti Ramoyada received a hero’s welcome from members of the Musina Gogo Getters. Social
Mayor Ramoyada visits a “source of inspiration” The value of the senior citizens to the community was emphasized by Musina Mayor, Cllr Mihloti Ramoyada, during her interactive visit to the elderly group called the Musina Gogo Getters. The group comprises about 50 senior citizens, who involve themselves in different initiatives, which include sewing, ladies soccer, general exercise and singing. The visit is part of Ramoyada’s outreach programme of meeting different stakeholders within the Musina Municipality. “I felt it was important to meet our senior citizens because this
group is a source of inspiration to the people of Musina. They always entertain us whenever we have government events and they are always handy to advise us on everything that concerns the community.” She emphasised that senior citizens are important members of our community. “They are our parents and our grandparents, people who have contributed to the history of our community and our families in so many ways.” She sent a strong warning to community members who abuse senior citizens.
“We have reports that many elderly people are abused in our communities. If community members notice any form of abuse against our senior citizens, it’s important to speak up. We must learn about the warning signs of abuse, what the risk factors are, and how we can prevent and report the problem.” One of the coordinators of Musina Gogo Getters, Ms Hilda Ntuli, said they were humbled by the visit of the mayor. “This visit shows that we are doing good things that benefit the local community and we are also encouraged to continue our good work.”

Gogo Alilali Masakona.
One of the country’s oldest persons, Mrs Alilali Madilonga Masakona (106), was buried at the Lwamondo Tshifulanani cemetery last Saturday. Her memorial service was held at her Tshifulanani home last Friday afternoon. Mourners at the memorial service described her as a humble and peace-loving person. According to them, the granny was a role model in the family and in the whole Tshifulanani village. Born at Lwamondo village on 8 August 1908, as the eldest child of Mr Tshikalange and Mrs Matamela Mamona. She was the eldest of Mr Jim Masakona’s three wives and blessed with five children, two sons, Edward and Frans, and three daughters, Anna, Tshinakaho and Masindi. Her youngest son, Edward Masakona, was born in 1948. She lost one of her daughters and a son in recent years. Gogo Masakona is survived by two daughters, son Edward, 28 grandchildren, 71 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren. She succumbed to a short illness last Monday, November 3. She was staying with one of her daughters at Mulima village at the time of her death.

“We will maintain highest standard...”
T
he festive season is swiftly approaching and we are all excited to be still alive to anticipate this special time of the year. Each and every one of us has good plans for a time such as this and we always make it a point that our arrangements for this season are in place way in advance. As the station commander of the Makhado SAPS, I would like to say that the year 2014 has brought a lot of challenges with it in our policing area and environment. There has been an unexpected upward trend with regard to violent criminal activities in our nation in general, but also in particular in our own policing area. Nevertheless, we are capable of achieving our
mandate to safeguard all and sundry within the borders of our rainbow nation. On that note, our mandate is clear at all times: To create a safe and secure environment for all people in South Africa. In pursuance of the fulfilment of this great mandate, we as the Makhado SAPS will always maintain the highest standards of integrity, respect diversity, be obedient to the Constitution and the law, serve with excellence and strive to earn public approval. We are highly motivated by the national commissioner’s community outreach programme, which enables our people to be an integral part of the crime fighting mechanism of this country. Furthermore, it is during this period of the year when most fatal accidents occur on our public roads. As such I would like to urge our people to be obedient to the laws of our land wherever they may be. Let us conduct ourselves in such a way that we will arrive alive at our different destinations by refraining from alcohol consumption while driving. Let us also take care of ourselves when we do our shopping in the towns. We should always be vigilant for crooks who impersonate police officials in order to rob us. Our homes have to be safe and secure at all times. The elderly and little children are vulnerable, but we must always strive to keep them safe in our homes. The acutely disabled cannot be left out of this equation. They need our help, depending on the degree of their disability, which in turn determines their level of vulnerability. Let us all enjoy this festive season in harmony and in the spirit of ubuntu in the company of our families, loved ones and friends. May we all have a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. I thank you all. - Col Francis Ramovha Makhado Police Station Commander, Col (station commander, Makhado SAPS) Francis Ramovha.
“We are facing hard times” - Mufunwaini A lack of funds and the inability to pay the monthly rent is forcing the Munna Ndi Nnyi men’s forum to move into their new, unfinished building in Lwamondo. The forum has tried everything possible to raise funds, so that they can continue operating from the rented building while the construction work is being finalised at the new building. “We are experiencing financial hard times at the moment,” said the forum’s director, Mr Bardwell Mufunwaini. “But it doesn’t mean we are unable to deliver the kind of quality services we have been giving our communities all these years.” He indicated that, for the new building to be what it is today, the forum had received help in the form of building material and labour from different structures. Vhavenda Bricks had donated 32 000 bricks, and seven loads of sand. “We also got a R50 000 donation from Nedbank, and Vhembe FET and Thohoyandou Correctional Services provided labour,” he said. “We thank all those people, even those who are not mentioned here, for the continued support. Had it not been for your kindness, we would not have reached the stage where we, as Munna Ndi Nnyi, can say with confidence that we have our own ‘home’.” Munna Ndi Nnyi was formed some 20 years ago as a forum which encourages men to become responsible husbands and fathers in society. The forum also addresses issues of and fights domestic violence. They have also been playing

“She refuses to get out of my house”
A 29-year-old Musina man has tried everything he could to get his RDP house back, but the woman who allegedly lives in his house unlawfully refuses to move out. Mpho Gift Muleya explained that he had applied for an RDP house a couple of years ago. His application was granted and the house was completed around 2008. The problems apparently started when a woman, who went to the same church as he does, asked him to accompany her to the Musina Local Municipality with his ID book. She told him that she had misplaced her ID book. Muleya asked her why she couldn’t ask her son, who was the same age as he was, to go with her, but she said he had no ID book. “Once we got to the municipality, an official produced the documents, requested my ID and then asked me to sign,” he said. Letter “I also saw my name in the papers, but it didn’t click in my mind what was actually happening at the time.” The official handed Muleya the keys and the his correspondence serves the opportunity to comment on Musina and he has never inwoman took them from him and thanked him for as a response to the artithe story that involves us.

the case was brought before a magistrate. The court reportedly ordered the woman to vacate the house, but she refused. “She told the court that I was her son and she was my dependent,” Muleya told Limpopo Mirror. Muleya, his wife and a child had moved from his parents’ house and rented a room in the township. “I pay R1 500 monthly rent to the landlord while someone else is living in total comfort in my house,” he said. Limpopo Mirror was shown a copy of the documents from the Department of Housing, which showed that the house belonged to Muleya. All attempts to get hold of the woman who stays in the RDP house proved unsuccessful. The spokesperson for the Department of Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (CoGHSTA), Motupa Selomo, said Muleya should lodge a complain with CoGHSTA. “We will investigate the case and regularise the matter,” Selomo. “Only the rightful owner of the house should occupy it as it is per RDP house’s regulation and policy.”
A depressed Mpho Gift Muleya says he needs his RDP house.

Prayers for Tshilwavhusiku’s policemen Eight-year sewage battle for families Policemen and -women at the Tshilwavhusiku police station received spiritual guidance when local pastors prayed for them on Sunday. The event was held under the title “Police Sunday” at the police station grounds. The acting station commander, Maj Godfrey Rambuda, outlined the rampant crimes in the policing area, which are business burglary, poaching, assault, rape, car theft and theft from motor vehicles. “We have just arrested and charged a gang of men who prowled the area in the night like hyenas, attacking and raping women,” he said. “We want to believe that, with today’s prayers, we are going to continue doing our job with
renewed strength and vigour.” Pastor Ailwei “Steven” Mulaudzi of the Apostolic Church of God in Muduluni presented the sermon of the day. He called upon all people to do their bit in fighting crime. He narrated the story of the prodigal son from the Bible, who requested his father to give him his inheritance and went to squander it in a distant land. “I like the fact that this son came to his senses,” Mulaudzi said. “We need to tell all these lost adults and children to stop doing crime and get back to a normal life.” Khosi Vho-Rudzani Sinthumule said that the rate of crime in the area was quite alarming and that it only showed dis-
respect of one person against another. “I cannot be a proud chief when people identify me with an area which has turned into a wilderness of criminal activities,” he said. “Yes, I am optimistic that when the pastors, community and police continue to fight crime, we will create a good and safe environment for all.” He said that it warmed his heart to see that the community, pastors and police had teamed up together to fight crime. “When people submit all their worries and problems to God, He thus gives them the wisdom and strength to win against crime,” he said. “God is love - and our God is a burning fire.”
Khosi Vho-Rudzani Sinthumule says he will feel prouder if people stop committing crimes.

Benny’s Care Development too good for Anchors Benny’s Care beat Tshiozwi Anchors 2-1 in a Safa Vhembe MMK Administrators Soccer League match at Gogogobe on Sunday. Benny’s approached the match like a house of fire, with their midfielders distributing excellent passes to their strikers. They threatened to score after only five minutes, when Marubini Manyane forced his way through the defence and passed the ball to Yende Munyadziwa. His attempt missed the target by inches, however. In the 20th minute, Cater Malebana of Benny’s beat the keeper with a powerful shot from outside the box. The keeper of Anchors, Mulalo Maphaha, watched in disbelief as the ball crossed the goal line.

“Write for the sake of knowledge” Years of hard work and dedication have finally paid off for Mr Lindelani Emmanuel Rakhunwana. Born at Hamakhuvha village near Donald Fraser Hospital 31 years ago, Mr Rakhunwana has good reason to rejoice as his dream of writing a book has finally become a reality. After losing his father while he was still a firstyear mechanical engineering student at the Vhembe FET College in 2003, life became difficult for Rakhunwana. His mother was unemployed at the time and completing his studies at the college under Mr Lindelani Emmanuel Rakhunwana.
the circumstances almost impossible. Despite all the odds, Rakhunwana managed to complete his diploma at the college in 2004. As an active member of the Christ Mission Orientated Church choir, Rakhunwana started to compile his own songs from 2009. In 2012, he felt that his music was mature enough and he recorded his debut album, Ri do swika naa at the Vipeb Recording Studio at Ngudza village. After listening to his music, a church elder, Mr Khathu Mavhina, advised him to write a book. Mavhina’s words were echoed by Pastor Pandelani and Rakhunwana’s wife, who kept on telling him that he had a gift for writing, apart from singing. In September last year, Rakhunwana started to write a book, Surviving the dark side of life. The book is about Rakhunwana’s life of shame and how he managed to survive under the circumstances. The search for a publisher started immediately after he completed writing the book in June this year. Mavhina introduced him to a book publishing company which is based in Indiana in the USA. After some weeks of telephonic conversations with the company, a deal was finally clinched. The book was printed at the end of September and is now available at most local bookshops. Rakhunwana, a father of five, said that he was not happy about the fact that a recent survey conducted by a USA-based research company had revealed that South Africans are lazy to read books. He severely discouraged people who write books or sing as a way to fight hunger, saying “people must learn to write for the sake of knowledge”. According to him, the book is selling at R160 and for further information Rakhunwana can be phoned at 076 272 1455.
MLFM awards best Xitsonga musicians Several artists in the music industry received awards during the 12th edition of Munghana Lonene FM’s Xitsonga Music Awards at the Nkowankowa Stadium last Saturday. The awards and cash prizes were awarded to deserving artists who demonstrated excellence and dedication in the industry. The awards started with a special event at Karibu Leisure Resort on Friday. The radio station presented three special awards to the late GT Chauke, Dwaro Rocks and Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse. “The three artists were presented with a posthumous award, the Living Legends award and the Companion of Xitsonga music awards respectively,” said Munghana Lonene FM’s station manager, Mr James Shikwambana. During the Friday event, a well-known artist, Doctor Sithole, thrilled the audience by playing the music of the recipients of the special awards. A veteran singer, Joe Shirimane, made history by walking away with the Dr Thomas Chauke Artist of the year award, which includes a R60 000 cash prize. “The winners in 10 categories walked home with cash prizes of R12 000 each,” Shikwambana said. The “Song of the year award” was won by Colonel Mhlongo, who received R20 000 cash.” The list of the winners in different categories is as follows: Brian Bomba (best Xitsonga newcomer), Joseph Baloyi (best Xitsonga gospel – Ribye Ra Vuchabelo), Colonel Mhlongo (best Xitsonga disco – Mhani ntsongo), Zozo (Mindzhumba ya
Afrika – Tsatsawani), Mocah ft. Mcbone (best Xitsonga RnB/hip hop – Khinyaveza), Limpopo Roots (best Xitsonga house song – Mali ya mina), Mapelle na Nurse (best Xitsonga duo), Madya Kubomba ft. Joe Shirimane (best Xitsonga collaboration – Khefu), Doctor Sithole (best male artist), Sunglen (best female artist), and Joe Shirimane (Dr Thomas Chauke artist of the year ). “The staff at Munghana Lonene FM are very excited to see how the awards are growing,” said Shikwambana. “The journey began in 2002 with only three categories and today we are standing at 12. We would like to thank our listeners for their unwavering support by making sure that they bought tickets. We will continue to inject new innovations and new ideas to make these awards more and more exciting.” Ali “Mocah” Mokgalaka, who believes that music should be used to teach and entertain, said: “This award has encouraged me to start working harder.” The awards presentation was followed by a big music festival which featured the cream of South African music, such as Mafikizolo, Sipho Makhabane, Colbert Mukwevho, Ihashi Elimhlophe, Joe Shirimane na Vana va Ndoda, Penny Penny, Brian Bomba, Benny Mayengane, Limpopo Roots, Clive S, Candy N’wa Yingwani, DJ Gammi, and Mapele na Nurse. “The line-up also featured the station’s popular presenter, Mchangaan, DJ Brian and producer Magubane Da Franchize,” said the station’s marketing manager, Ms Vongi Nkanyane.

Coach Heric rejoins Leopards As part of beefing up the team’s technical staff, Black Leopards have recalled the team’s former head coach, Mr Vladislav Heric. The Serbian national was the brain behind the success of the Thohoyandou outfit when Lidoda Duvha gained promotion to the Absa Premiership Division four years ago. Heric left the club for the national first division side, African Warriors, after a successful season with Black Leopards. Heric moved from one club to the other during the past three years before joining Chippa United in the middle of last season. At that stage, Chippa United were campaigning in the national first division. Heric guided the Cape Town side to an outright promotion to the Absa Premiership Division at the end of the season. Surprisingly, Heric’s contract with Chippa United was not renewed at the beginning of this season as anticipated. He remained jobless for five months until the chairman of Black Leopards, Mr David Thidiela, offered him a one-month contract last week. Asked why he had decided to give Mr Heric a month contract, Mr Thidiela stated that he wanted someone who could assist the current caretaker coach, Mr Joel Masutha, for the time being until the team’s head coach, Mr Seun Connor, took over. According to Mr Thidiela, Mr Connor is still sorting out his work permit issues in his native country, the Republic of Ireland. When asked
as to when they were anticipating the return of Connor, Thidiela said that he could not speculate as he had no control over the situation. During an interview with Heric shortly after Leopards' 1-1 draw with Highlandspark at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Saturday, he said that it was painful for him to see Black Leopards losing matches while they played quality football. He further said that he was happy that they would have two weeks to prepare the team before playing their next league match against Santos at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town next Saturday, 22 November. Heric joins Black Leopards at the time when the team is lying on the 10th position on the log with 12 points accumulated from 10 outings, 10 points behind the log leaders, Lamontville Golden Arrows.

Ethiopians arrested at border Police at the Beit Bridge border intercepted four Ethiopian illegal immigrants and a Zimbabwean man who was assisting them in trying to enter South Africa through an illegal crossing point along the Limpopo River. According to the police, the Zimbabwean, Solani Ngwenya (32), was trying to assist Ibrahim Ali Maalim Adam (30), Debe Ikran Abdi (25), Abdi Samiya Abdulai (34) and Mohammed Ahred Adi (28) to jump the porous border between Zimbabwe and South Africa. The East Africans and the Zimbabwean were arrested by the police at a pick-up point in Beit Bridge on Wednesday at about 13:00 as they were about to cross into South Africa. The suspects appeared in court before Magistrate Gloria Takundwa of the Beit Bridge Magistrate's Court, facing charges of contravening a section of the Immigration Act. The case was postponed to 20 November and they were each released on bail of US$50 bail after the prosecution indicated that it needed to secure the services of an Arabic interpreter. The court was told that on 4 November Adam facilitated the illegal entry of his fellow countrymen into Zimbabwe through

Victoria Falls. They then travelled by road to Bulawayo, where Adam approached Ngwenya, an unregistered cross-border transporter. They allegedly arranged for the quartet to be smuggled to South Africa through illegal crossing points. It was stated that Adam had paid Ngwenya US$200 for the service. They were intercepted by police on patrol at a point used by border jumpers. The crackdown on illegal immigrants follows a meeting in 2011 in Beit Bridge between Zimbabwean and South African immigration officials over the issue of irregular migration between the two countries. The refugees allegedly take advantage of human traffic syndicates that take desperate illegal Zimbabwean immigrants to South Africa on a daily basis. Lately there has been a surge in the number of illegal immigrants from East African countries who enter Zimbabwe illegally and try to jump the border to South Africa. The immigrants enter Zimbabwe through the Harare International Airport, Nyamapanda, Chirundu and Forbes border posts with the assistance of human trafficking syndicates operating in both South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Thohoyandou Technical High School is the champion of Irfani Soccer Tournament. It was recently held in Thohoyandou and was initially supposed to have involved all the local secondary schools in Thohoyandou. The schools who participated were Marude Thohoyandou Secondary, Liivha and Thohoyandou Technical. The tournament changed to a round-robin tournament after Thohoyandou Secondary failed to turn up. The first game was played between Liivha and Thohoyandou Technical. A solitary goal in the 25th minute by Thendo Mukumela was enough to give
Thohoyandou Technical the victory. Marude beat Liivha 1-0 in the second game. The goal that separated the two teams was an own goal by Liivha’s goalkeeper. The final was between Marude and Thohoyandou Technical. Two goals by the national U/17 player, Thendo Mukumela, gave Thohoyandou Technical the victory. Marude’s solitary goal was scored by Dzimpho Mashawana. Mukumela did not show any fatigue, even after coming from national duty for the national team who recently played to a 2-2 draw with Egypt.

Lamontville Golden Arrows are aiming for the top spot Five of the eight National First Division League matches played over the past weekend ended in draws. Lamontville Golden Arrows are leading the pack, following their 4-2 victory over Maluti FET College at the Chatsworth Stadium in Durban. It took Golden Arrows only 12 minutes to open their account. Thato Masoake blasted in a rocket after a scramble within the box. The students found the equalizer on the stroke of half time. The home side scored three more goals in quick succession early in the second half, before conceding an own goal towards the end of the game. Vasco da Gama received the biggest hiding and were brutally walloped 4-0 by Jomo Cosmos at the Vaal University of Technology Stadium. Cosmos moved three steps up the log, following the impressive result. They are now in third spot with 17 points, five behind the pace setters, Lamontville Golden Arrows. Cosmos
were leading 2-0 at half time. The final score would have been 5-0 had Cosmos managed to convert a penalty in the 29th minute. Witbank Spurs received three valuable points when they beat Santos 1-0 at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank. Just like Jomo Cosmos, Santos too missed a fortune after they were awarded a penalty in the 10th minute. Black Leopards failed to impress their home crowd by playing to a 1-1 draw with Highlandspark at the Thohoyandou Stadium. (See our report on the back page.) African Warriors shared the spoils with Royal Eagles with a 2-2 draw, while Garankuwa United and Baroka FC played to a goalless draw at the Pilditch Stadium in Pretoria. In their Cape Town derby at the Philipi Stadium in Cape, Milano United and Cape Town All Stars scored two goals apiece. Thanda Royal Zulu held FC Cape Town to a 1-1 draw.

Disappointment! Black Leopards fans faced huge disappointment on Saturday, when they shared the spoils 1-1 with Highlandspark in their NFD match at the Thohoyandou Stadium. Just like in their last three matches, Leopards were by far the better side when it came to ball possession. Realizing that the home side was unstoppable, the visitors from Thembisa took their time studying their opponents’ weak points. Although
Highlandspark looked hypnotized for the better part of the first half, Lidoda Duvha failed to capitalize. All they did was to squander numerous obvious scoring chances and converted only one. In the 24th minute, the home side broke the deadlock. Leonard Ntshangase, their scoring machine, found the net after a great pass by Jabulani Ndebele. Sanele Mkhize, the Leopards’ centre forward, was booked
for dangerous play in the 29th minute. He tackled Zakhele Dlamini from behind and the referee was lenient enough not to give him his marching orders. Samuel Tefu of Black Leopards made an unforgettable blunder in the 39th minute. He received a neat pass from Bongani Manana and shot straight to the Bongani Manana of Black Leopards (right) and Freddy Dlamini of Highlandspark attack the ball. keeper from close range.
