Dedicated hospital worker killed when

Pressure cooker explodes The photographs, supplied by the Department of Health, clearly indicates some of the damage in the kitchen after the explosion.

By Elmon Tshikhudo Workers, patients and the whole community at Donald Fraser Hospital were left traumatised on Monday, following an explosion at the hospital’s main kitchen. The incident, which occurred around 12:00, left one worker, Mr Reuben Musingadi (47), dead and seven of his colleagues injured. The circumstances leading to the incident are still sketchy. Information from the Department of Health is that Musingadi was busy with his daily chores in the kitchen with other workers. Ms Adele van der Linde, spokesperson for the department, said that Mr Musingadi was with some of his colleagues, including students doing their internship at the hospital, when the electric steam pot exploded. “Mr Musingadi was killed on impact and another worker, Mr Tshifhiwa Nemushungwa, was injured in the accident. The explosion damaged all of the cooking equipment and some of the kitchen infrastructure. Mr Nemushungwa was admitted to the hospital and is currently in a stable condition, with only minor injuries. The other six employees were

taken to casualty where they received treatment and counselling,” said van der Linde. She said the family of Mr Musingadi had been brought to the scene. Van der Linde added that the cause of the explosion had not been established so far, but that it would form part the investigation that was being undertaken. “The SAPS, explosives experts and the fire brigade have taken over the scene. Thorough forensic investigations are underway to establish the cause of the accident and this will include a probe into the factors, such as service and maintenance, possible human error and other external factors. Once we have the results of these investigations, we will pronounce the reason for the accident as well as corrective measures to be taken, if any,” she said. She also mentioned that the food for patients is at present being prepared at the nearby Hayani Hospital, as most of the kitchen has been damaged. Meanwhile, the DA in Limpopo came out strongly against the loss of life and injuries and urged the MEC for health, Ms Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba, to probe the explosion urgently. - Continues on p2

Hospital worker killed in explosion from p1 Reacting after the explosion, DA Limpopo leader Mr Jacques Smalle said the accident could have been averted if the department had changed the equipment, which is said to be very old. “The situation at our hospitals is very dangerous to work in and similar incidents could be imminent if the department does not maintain its equipment. Staff are already working in difficult conditions, with severe staff shortages and large numbers of patients. Hospital infrastruc-

ture in general is also not up to scratch, placing pressure on staff and their ability to deliver quality medical services. It is completely unacceptable that basic kitchen appliances are also defective and clearly pose a danger,” Smalle added. Mr Musingadi’s brother, Mr Takalani Musingadi, said the family was overwhelmed with grief and in a state of shock. “Reuben was a good man who looked after his family. He was the sole breadwinner in the family. He has six kids, who are now

left without a father. They have no one to look after them.” He said Reuben had a premonition about his death and wanted to sort his things out before he died. “Recently he phoned me and told me that he wanted one of his daughters to stay with me and attend school where I stay. This surprised me that he suddenly wanted this arrangement,” added Musingadi. Funeral arrangements are underway and the funeral is set for this weekend. People from all over the country flocked to their nearest IEC voting stations to register for the 2014 general elections.

Malamulele residents boycott registration

Top achievers at Lwamondo Secondary School recently received certificates for their hard work. Before the exams started, they were treated during an outing at the Porche Villa Hotel in Thohoyandou. Some of their teachers are also with them in the photograph.

Most of the residents of Malamulele ignored the voter registration in the area last weekend. According to residents, the boycott is part of their demands for an own municipality. They are demanding their own municipality. This demand caused huge problems in the area, and thousands of residents went on the rampage, barricading roads, burning tyres, shops and government offices last month. The rampage was the reaction to the Municipal Demarcation Board’s announcement that they will not have a separate municipality. The provincial electoral commissioner, Ms Nkaro Mateta, confirmed to Limpopo Mirror that some residents had boycotted the voter registration weekend,

with officials working outside the stations’ premises. Mateta said registration in the province progressed smoothly, but only 52 people had registered in Mala mulele. The IEC in the province insisted that they went to all the stations with their equipment. Though most schools were locked, they were conducting their registration procedure outside those schools' gates. “People were able to register outside the school premises. We tried our best to get the keys, but they were not available,” she added. Mateta said most people could not register during the weekend because they were threatened or intimidated. Some people were told that if they registered, their houses would be burned down.

She acknowledged that the IEC was informed that some people attempted to disrupt officials at the stations, but did not succeed. She added that the IEC would continue to strive to reach the people who did not register during the weekend. “We will try to reach those people through our outreach programmes, liaising with civil society groups that work for us,” she said. The Malamulele Demarcation Task Team had distanced itself from the alleged disruption. The task team’s spokesperson, Dr Isaiah Ndambi, said they were not aware of any incident. “We just heard about the problem and we will meet with the relevant stakeholders to sort out the problem,” Ndambi said.

Tshiema residents vow not to register Following fruitless talks and promises of better service by the Thulamela municipality, residents of Tshiema in Lwamondo have vowed not to register for the forthcoming general elections in 2014. The community adds to the other disgruntled communities like Malamulele and Bekkersdal, who have decided to use their vote as a weapon to get the attention of the government. Tshiema village, which has more than 100 households, is one of the most disadvantaged in Thulamela, with basics like water non-existent. Electricity is a luxury for them. The local traditional leader in the area, Chief Nthsumiseni Nemukovhani, said they had outstanding issues with the municipality they want sorted out before they could even think of registering for the forthcoming elections. "We have waited for a long time for the electricity to be switched on after it was completed in 2012. We have been to all the offices you can talk of at Thulamela. We have tried everything in the book and we even presented our problem to the public protector, but in vain,” he added.

According to him, they do not have a constant supply of water and all the problems they are experiencing “leaves us with no option but to voice our frustrations in a very peaceful way, by not voting," he said. Nemukovhani said they were tired of being used by politicians for their own selfish ends. "They only come to us when they need our votes, but soon after we vote them in, they disappear. As a community with all structures united, we thought this would

open their ears and they would listen to us," added Nemukovhani. The community of Mutshetoni, also in Lwamondo, have stayed away from registering for the elections. "We have nothing to gain from these elections. How can we vote for people who do not listen to the cries of the people? It is better not to be part of processes that benefit only a few," said Chief Tshisiwana Ndou, the local traditional leader.

Mysterious fire destroys shops in Thohoyandou in smoke. One of the shops, Lewis Furnishers, was completely gutted and nothing was saved from the shop. Damage at the shop is estimated in excess of R1 million. Adjacent shops were not spared either as they had some losses. The smoke, which was seen many kilometres away from the town, was noticed in the early hours of Saturday. It is alleged that fire fighters who responded to the fire were left helpless and just stood by as they did

not have water. Reacting to allegations that the Vhembe fire fighters arrived at the scene but could not do anything as they did not have water, Vhembe district spokesperson Mr Matodzi Ralushai said they had had a breakdown with the truck they were using. "We responded in time, at about 04:50, only to find that our truck had technical problems. Our nearest station is at Mutale and we had to wait for them. Unfortunately, some of the shops were already gutted when they

arrived. They took control, however, and stopped it from spreading to other shops. We will see to it that our vehicles are maintained at all times to avert situations like this one," added Ralushai. Thohoyandou police spokesperson Const Avhafarei Tshiovhe said that the police had opened an arson docket and a full investigation to determine the cause of the fire was underway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have roped in our forensic colleagues, who are sifting the scene for evidence," added Tshiovhe.

Parents upset after newborn dies in hospital

Bangladesh shop owner killed

A resident of Madombidzha village, Tshilidzi Magadani (29), gave birth while waiting on a sofa at the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital. She now blames the hospital for her newborn baby’s death. The incident happened on 20 September at around 03:00. Magadani said that she was admitted to the hospital three days earlier. “On the third day, I was sitting on a sofa when I started experiencing labour pains and I started screaming for the nurses

The SAPS at Musina arrested a 35-year-old Johannesburg male suspect in connection with charges of murder, attempted murder and house robbery on Saturday. The spokesperson for the Musina police, Lt Peter Mudau, said that the suspect, who has been identified as Xolani Ronald ‘Khulani’ Dombeni, and three other suspects, who are still at large, allegedly entered a house at Frost Avenue. “They then robbed the inhabitants of at least R500 000 in cash and three mobile phones,” Mudau said. “The four were armed with pistols, which they used to threaten the victims. The police recovered R243 000 and three phones.” After the robbery, said Mudau, the four suspects met a 35-year-old Bangladesh man, Mr Debnash Ratan, along

to come and attend to me,” she explained. She added that the four nurses on duty were sitting behind the counter at the ward’s reception. One of the nurses came and listened to her as she informed her (the nurse) that the baby was on its way. “She told me that I knew nothing about the right time for the baby to

Magadani said in a pained voice. “As I winced and struggled by myself on the sofa, the baby just rocketed out of me and hit the floor hard in front of my eyes. All the nurses rose at once and rushed towards me.” Nurses then picked the baby up and went away, said Magadani. She was then attended to. “The next thing, they informed me that my baby was dead and that I should just accept it,” she told Limpopo Mirror. “I cried and wept day and night for the next three days, which I was made to spend in the hospital.” When she entered the maternity ward, Magadani’s prospects were that she would walk out of the hospital gates, cuddling a beautiful, healthy baby in her arms, but that was not going to be. She staggered out of the LTT Memorial Traumatised: Ms Tshilidzi Magadani come, and then Hospital, hounded by the (29) holds her baby´s death certificate. she walked away,” thought that she had lost her

baby. “The pain is still heavy on me even today, and it’s part of the reason why I have decided to share my plight with everyone,” she said. Magadani’s spouse, Mr Nature Biller (29), went to request the baby’s death certificate and it was issued to him on 27 September. “My friend, what happened to my wife is very traumatising,” said Biller. “Today I live and sleep in the same house with a woman who just weeps unexpectedly, and when I ask her what the problem is, she refers to the senseless incident that happened in the hospital. This thing is very hard on me.” On the death certificate which Limpopo Mirror viewed, ‘’natural causes’’ is cited as the cause of the baby’s death. The spokesperson for the Department of Health, Adele van der Linde, said that the department would investigate the case to find out what exactly had happened on that day. “In the meantime, we will arrange for the lady (Ms Magadani) to go for counselling,” said Van der Linde.

Mudau added that the four men then ran away from the scene of the crime and met another man who was also walking along Hans van der Merwe Street. “They shot him in the stomach,” Mudau said. “The victim was rushed to the hospital and was later identified as Edwin Nega, who is 34 years of age. Nega is responding well to medical treatment so far.” The police managed to arrest Dombeni, while the other three suspects evaded arrest. “We will do our best as law-enforcers to make sure that even those other three suspects are arrested and brought to book,” stated Mudau. Dombeni resides at Zonkezizwe Zone 3, Kathlehong, in Johannesburg.

SASSA official receives injuries in knife attack The Makhado office of the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) was closed for service on Monday, after a 29-year-old mentally ill man had stabbed an official with a knife. According to eyewitnesses, a man arrived outside the office and started shouting that he wanted his money. Onlookers were shocked when he suddenly produced a knife and stabbed a female official in the shoulder.

Limpopo SASSA’s spokesperson, Mr Norman Kutama, denied the rumour that the official was attacked inside the office. “The official was managing the queue outside the office for smooth service, when a man stabbed her once in the shoulder,” Kutama said. According to Kutama, the victim was rushed to the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital for immediate medical attention and was discharged on the same day. All staff received professional counselling following the incident. “The counselling is meant to help them re-adjust to the working environment,” he stated. “We also thank the police, who responded to the incident quickly.” Kutama advised the guardians of the mentally ill to always try to accompany them whenever they visit the office. “Some mentally ill clients might be impatient and could also take time to understand when we explain about the processes for grant applications or re-applications,” he said. After the man had stabbed the

official, the office closed its doors for the whole day. Clients, some of whom had travelled all the way from Nthabalala and Nzhelele, returned without having been helped. “I don’t think I will be able to come here tomorrow; I had used my last money for today’s transport,” said Ms Ndivho Mudau, a mother of six children. The police’s provincial spokesperson, Col Ronél Otto, confirmed that the suspect was arrested and charged with assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. “The victim didn’t sustain any grave injuries,” Otto said. “The suspect is a regular, mentally ill patient and the lady is the one who regularly assists him. He will appear in court either today (Tuesday) or on Wednesday.” When Limpopo Mirror visited the SASSA office on Tuesday, two security officers were seen among a throng of clients. “People should feel safe and free to visit the office,” said Kutama.

Throughout his career, he had accumulated many awards, among them long-service awards. We urge all to emulate his good work and to follow in the footsteps of this dedicated officer,” said Volgraaff.

Fleeing smuggler wounded by police “The suspect was part of a group of smugglers who were travelling in a minibus with nearly 400 bricks of cigarettes with a street value of R11 200. We got a tip-off about the incident and deployed our patrol teams to ambush them,” said Chinhengo. He said when the group later arrived in their minibus, they were ordered to stop and, fearing arrest, they grabbed the cigarettes and tried to flee from the scene. “Our officers ran after them and

fired three warning shots, but the suspects resisted and, as a result, the police shot at Chipeta, who was in the front.” He was shot in the left thigh and was taken to the Beit Bridge District Hospital, where he is recuperating under police guard. The rest of the group eventually stopped and surrendered. “We have since recovered the cigarettes and the suspects will soon appear in court on smuggling charges,” Chinhengo said.

Tshivenda Bibles for Mamathieledzha pupils

Staff of the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital visited students of Soutpansberg Primary School last Wednesday to wish them good luck with their final Grade 7 exams. Every pupil was given a bottle of water, a fizzer and a license disc sticker. The water was to remind them that water is a blessing, to refresh them and live a healthy lifestyle. The fizzer was to remember that they are loved and to do well in their exams, and the license disk to remind their parents to drive slowly and return home safely after the holidays. Photo supplied.

Imatu re-affirms its political independence A ray of hope for Society for the Blind The president of the Independent Municipal and Allied Trade Union (IMATU) re-affirmed the union's commitment to retain political independence. Mr Stanley Khoza was speaking during the IMATU Limpopo Conference 2013, which was held at Northgate Lodge on 23 to 25 October. “IMATU is not a friend of any political party,” said Khoza. “The union has always believed that a political union is best placed to serve its mem-

bers.” During the conference, Khoza stated that members would receive preferential service and treatment if IMATU was aligned to any political entity. “IMATU remains committed to worker-based issues, such as the protection of municipal workers' rights and fair wage negotiations,” he said. The union will also remain committed to the upholding of basic conditions of service in the local government sector, equality in the work place and promoting

a sustainable local government through social transformation. Makhado IMATU branch's chairperson, Mr Phillip Rambuda, welcomed the president's presence during the conference. “Pres Khoza's statement that the union is free from politics or any political affliations helped revive the spirits of members to better understand the vision of the union,” said Rambuda. “As the Makhado branch shop stewards, we are prepared to address any cases brought forward by our members appropriately.”

Pictured during the conference are (from left to right) Mr Rudi de Bruyn (regional manager), Ms Tshilidzi Murodoba (shop steward), Mr Johannes Tholo (Limpopo regional chairperson), Mr Stanley Khoza, Mr Keith Swanepoel (IMATU deputy president) and Mr Phillip Rambuda (Makhado branch chairperson).

More than 100 beneficiaries at the Rivoni Society for the Blind rejoiced when the organisation received clothes, shoes, blankets and a R10 000 donation on Friday. The donation comes after the residents' house was gutted by a mysterious fire on 23 August. The residents were attending an evening sermon at a separate hall about 100 metres away when the incident took place. “After the fire, residents were left without clothes, linen, beds and a roof over their heads,”

said the society's executive director, Mr Pfumelani Mashaba. The fire consumed the residents' food and personal belongings, such as ID books, pocket money, mobile phones and the whole hostel block. The entire roof fell in. After learning about the society's plight, Scorpion Legal Protection came to assess the damage and then decided to help. “We are giving the society some goods and R10 000 cash,” said Scorpion's Polokwane branch manager, Edwin

Mukhomi. “We understand that our help might seem very small, considering the nature of the damage that the society had suffered, but we hope that other businesses will also help where they can.” A visually impaired pupil and resident at the society, Mr Maanda Gandamipfa (26), thanked the donor. “Your support shows love to us,” he said. “God will bless you richly for the little that you've given us today.”

Entertainment

Singing teacher soon back on Muvhango set The famous character of Vho-Phusuphusu on the much-celebrated SABC 2 Tshivenda soapie Muvhango will soon be back on the small screen. The character was last seen in June 2010 and it is still played by the same multi-talented Jacky Nethomboni, who wears many hats as a prolific individual. During the week, Nethomboni is an arts and culture, agricultural science and English teacher at Nngweni High School in the Nzhelele area. Come weekend time, and as a successful famous reggae music artist, Nethomboni will either be performing in gigs or recording his music in the studio. Nethomboni says he balances his acting and music careers to make sure that it does not interfere with his teaching profession. “I concentrate on my television career during school holidays or weekends. During the week, I make sure that I work hard at school to give my pupils the best education that they deserve.” Asked about what his character entails in Muvhango, Nethomboni says: “I play an old man called Vho-Phusuphusu. In Tshivenda, Phusuphusu means somebody who always causes trouble. During my role in 2010, I used to dispute Azwindini’s chieftainship. I wanted Mulalo to be the

chief of Thathe and I did everything to make sure that Azwindini’s chieftainship was destroyed. Now that Azwindini has been arrested, I will continue my role to cause trouble in the royal family of Thathe.” Nethomboni is not a novice in the entertainment industry. He has also previously played in dramas on Phalaphala FM. “Among others, I played in a drama called Vho Fasha Mmbwa and my character was of a wealthy man, called Dan, who ended

up bankrupt because of his multiple love affairs with different women. I also played in a drama called Zwipopola zwa vhafunzi as a controversial pastor, called Vhafunzi Vho-Mangungu.” And his message to the young people who would like to follow television or music careers is: “The most important thing is to get education first because you will always have something to lean on if you are not doing well in the entertainment industry.”

85 CFS welcomes a new commander Last Thursday (7th) not only saw the birthday of Lt Col Frans Jacob Labuschagne, but was also the day he was welcomed as the new officer commanding of 85 Combat Flying School (CFS) at AFB Makhado.

After completing a tour at AFB Swartkops’s 42 Squadron, flying the Cessna 185, Labuschagne was transferred back to Langebaanweg in 1999, where he completed his instructor’s course. A few years followed where he tutored on the Cessna 185. During 2002, the new officer commanding received his fighter pilot training at 85 CFS Hoedspruit, after which he also completed the Cheetah operational

Labuschagne also spent some time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, when he was deployed there as the aviation element commander in 2012, supporting the United Nations' peace-keeping mission. Apart from flying the Gripen, Labuschagne has also performed low-level aerobatic displays in the PC 7 MKII Astra and the Impala. He is also an A1 category pilot attack instructor on Hawk aircraft.

“I am not going to vote next year” An elderly lady, who has been waiting since January for her ID book to be issued to her, Ms Johannah Mahlangu, says that her patience has run out. Mahlangu's story was published in Limpopo Mirror (18 January), after she claimed that she was “unfairly dismissed” when she went to apply for a change-of-date-of-birth in her identity book on 5 December 2012. The Home Affairs office in Makhado contacted Mahlangu after seeing the story in the newspaper and assisted her. “They told me it wouldn't take more than three months before I could get my new ID book,” said Mahlangu when Limpopo Mirror recently visited her at her home at Tshikwarani village. “Nine months have passed, and when I visit Home Affairs (Makhado office), they tell me that they do not manufacture ID books,” she continued. When she first went to the Makhado office on 5 December, an official allegedly told her that there was no money available for her at SASSA. “Now I feel more than dissappointed,” she said in a disillusioned, pained voice. “Next year I am not going to vote. I know Pres (Jacob) Zuma has nothing to do with this, as he might not be aware of the bad attitude of the people in the office. But I feel that I can't waste my vote!” Mahlangu said that, a fortnight ago, an official had called her from the Makhado office and told her to come to collect her ready ID book. “But when I got there, they started searching all over the place and couldn't find it,” she added. “So I wonder if they were playing a trick on me, just to raise my expectations.” When contacted for comment, the provincial spokesperson for the Department of Home Affairs, Mr Sam Moremi, referred us to the department's manager, Ms Florah Motsitsi. However, Motsitsi was not available at the time of going to press.

A disappointed Mahlangu says that she is not going to vote next year.

Qualifications open new world children. After careful research, we found that these women needed to be empowered, so that they could sustain themselves, and the answer was to equip them with skills that they could use to fend for themselves,” he said. Ms Mpho Phaswana (33), one of the successful candidates, said the skills they had acquired had opened up a new world for them. “We were doing absolutely nothing when this opportunity availed itself.

“Rapist father” case postponed The Vuwani Magistrate’s Court was packed to capacity last Monday, when a 39-year-old resident of Tshifulanani appeared for allegedly raping his two daughters. According to the police, the eldest of the two victims is two years old. Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi of the Limpopo Police said that the mother of the two was attending a church

service about a fortnight ago, and the father looked after them. Upon her arrival hot home, the mother allegedly discovered her daughters had been raped as she noticed blood clots on their private parts. The two were taken to Tshilidzini Hospital, where a doctor confirmed they had been raped. The case was postponed for 25 November for a bail application.

said he decided to help them by shaping their teeth for free just to give them self-esteem. The cost for malocclusion treatment is R15 000 upwards. It can take between six months and two years for the teeth to be rectified. “Malocclusion is most often hereditary, which means the condition is passed down through families. Childhood habits such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, pacifiers used beyond the age of three and prolonged use of a bottle can cause the problem,” he said. Mrs Lizelle Lourens, the mother of Anzel, thanked Dr Machaka and the teachers of the school for “bringing back confidence to her daughter”. She said her daughter could now give a charming smile. Lourens said she couldn’t afford the treatment. The happy Tsholofelo said she could now interact with classmates without problems.

Two girls can smile again Two Louis Trichardt high school girls who couldn’t interact with others due to malocclusion can now smile charmingly, after getting a free treatment from orthodontist Dr Phumudzo Machaka of the Makhado Medical Centre a fortnight ago. Because of the density of their teeth, the two girls, Tsholofelo Moletsane (18), a Grade 12 pupil, and Anzel Lourens (14), a Grade 8 pupil, couldn’t interact with others, as they were the laughing stock of their schoolmates. They also had mouth sores and couldn’t enjoy food. The mouth infection also deformed their faces. Their problems came to an end after one of their teachers, Ms Johanna Steyn, requested the orthodontist, Dr Phumudzo Machaka, to help and to give the young girls a new lease on life for free. Machaka said he was deeply touched by the girls’ problems. He

Students who received their qualifications at Mvelaphanda Community Skillls Development a fortnight ago, were on cloud nine when they were called to the podium one by one to receive their certificates. The 24 students from two rural communities of Hasidou and Jim Kone outside Thohoyandou met the requirements for a basic computing course after undergoing a one-year training. They were part of the more than 600 students who received diplomas and certificates in skills such as carpentery, motor mechanic, upholstery, boilermaking, catering and others. The successful candidates received their certificates in the presence of traditional leaders from the two villages during a ceremony held at the Thohoyandou Town Hall. The training came about after a teacher of Mamathiliedza Primary School, Mr Mmbangiseni Nengwenani, noticed that many of the parents could not assist their children when it came to paying for some necessities at the school. “We are located at the most remote and rural setting, where parents cannot even afford uniforms for their

Infrastructure

Road repair project starts in Musina Road users in Musina will soon sigh with relief after the local municipality started to roll out the first phase of a road-repair maintenance plan. The R1 million first phase is part of a R6.8 million total budget that has been set aside by the municipality for this project. The project is unique because it is a mixture of both service delivery and skills transfer. “Part of the agreement with the service providers is that they will train municipal workers for two months in basic road-repair skills, asphalt mixing and road-machinery operation. This means that, after the completion

of the project, municipal workers will be equipped with the knowledge and skills that they will be able to use to maintain the roads without the assistance of any service providers,” said municipal spokesperson Wilson Dzebu. He added that the municipality was aware of the bad state of the roads and was doing everything to make sure that the road network was maintained and safe to travel. “Roads are an integral part of our transport system. It is important that our road network should be efficient in order to maximize economic and social benefits. Roads are

indispensable for commuting in daily life. Time for travelling is also reduced if the road infrastructure is good. Efficient roads will considerably improve velocity of the vehicles. The more the roads are maintained, the more easily people can travel," he added. Dzebu also mentioned that the present road networks in Musina and in the rural areas were adequate to meet people's needs for smooth communication, but most of the old roads needed repair and the network as a whole called for substantial expenditure for continuous maintenance and improvement of the existing infrastructure.

Scholar needs help with dilapidated house A 21-year-old scholar, who has lost both parents in recent years, is seeking help after the house he was staying in started disintegrating. Cliff Khomola, who is doing Grade 12 at Tshamakwatini Secondary School, was left in the care of his aunt after abandoning his family’s house. Cliff says he had to move in with his aunt because he does not have any income to maintain himself. His parents initially applied for an RDP house before they passed away over half of a decade ago. Today, Cliff’s hope of getting a house is fading. With the support of his aunt, Cliff is battling to become a better person, hoping for a bright and promising future.

According to Makonde, the traditional council reported the matter to the relevant authorities, but there has been no response. “We are appealing to the authorities to rescue this young man in our village,” says Makonde. Khomola says that he used to receive food parcels from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) every month, until it stopped some three months ago. “I thank my mother’s sister. If it were not for her, I would have been suffering severely. Though she is struggling, she endeavours by all means to ensure that I go to school and am eating something daily,” he adds.

Despite all the odds and obstacles along the route, Cliff says he is studying very hard in the hope of securing a better tomorrow. Speaking to Limpopo Mirror at his dilapidated and abandoned home at Ha-Mavhunga in Nzhelele, Cliff explains that the death of his both parents was harsh on him. “If both your parents die while you are still young, it becomes extremely difficult to accept the situation, but you have to fight against all the challenges,” he says. A member of the traditional council in the village, Mr Samson Makonde, says the family applied for an RDP house in 2007. He says that, despite the delayed application for the house, there have been other houses

“Our councillor is failing us” - community members Residents of Ha-Mulambilu and Ha-Magwada villages in Nzhelele are accusing their councillor of deliberately failing to communicate issues of service delivery. They are insisting that the communication bungle has led to poor service delivery in their community. Despite the recent communications bungle, Cllr Nemiyah Madzhiga of Ward 30 in the Makhado municipality is also accused of failing to account for the RDP house project, which was halted before its inception in 2006. The halted RDP house project has caused a lot of tension in the village, with residents accusing the councillor of poor service delivery. Some of the beneficiaries are claiming that he was at the helm of Civic at the time and he should be held accountable for what had happened. When the RDP project started earlier in 2006, some 14 beneficiaries were identified and 30 bags of cement were delivered to their homes. It later turned out that the contractor had allegedly confiscated the bags of cement and told beneficiaries

that they would get them back later when their houses were being built. Since then, residents have been left in the cold, with some of the beneficiaries claiming they had demolished their huts to make space for the new houses. The spokesman for the village's royal council, Mr Alfred Malusele, said Cllr Madzhiga was the chairperson of SANCO and the village's civic representative at the time. "He occupied several positions within the structures in the village, but he was not providing any information to the people," he said. Mr Madzhiga said people were told to demolish their shelters and they were still waiting. "It has been almost seven years and we are still waiting," he said. The secretary of the royal council, Mr David Netshitahame, said they had engaged the councillor and he had told them he did not want to get involved in the housing project issue. "The municipality is issuing things to the people, but those who are supposed to channel them are failing to do so," he said.

Councillor Madzhiga condemned the allegations and insisted that he always distributed information to the people. "We always meet with the royal council, Sanco, the Civic and ward committees and discuss issues of service delivery twice a month," he said. He said the 2006 RDP project failed because of problems that Coghsta (Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs) experienced at the time. "Most contractors were blacklisted and most projects were affected, and these people happen to be the victims. Coghsta, however, has started consulting the affected people to help them get their houses," he said. He added that they would get the houses. "They need to be patient as Coghsta is dealing with this issue through the local municipality," he said. Limpopo Mirror asked the municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, if those people had consulted the municipality about their predicament. He said the municipality was still investigating and would respond later.

New tourism facilities for Matsila area The general secretary of the ANC, Mr Gwede Mantashe, officially opened the new Matsila Tourism Facilities a fortnight ago. He was accompanied by the Minster of Rural Development, Mr Gugile Nkwiti, Chief Mandla Mandela, King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana and MEC Joyce Mashamba. A group of grannies and members of the community of Matsila were struggling to sustain their farming and bricks

projects for many years, due to a lack of funds. Relief came when Chief Livhuwani Matsila and the Matsila Development Trust received assistance from the National Lottery Board to develop their projects. Since the project was formed in 2010, the Matsila Development Trust and community members have bought a tractor, a brickyard factory, 190 goats, 50 heads of cattle, and a guest lodge for accommodating tourists. They also joined a com-

munity water scheme. Mantashe said he had visited the area to check if the ANC was really doing what it had promised the people. “The opening of Matsila Tourism Facilities is proof that the government is committed to delivering services to the people. Government has declared war on poverty,” he added. “This is a historic project for the people of Matsila, so I want all the people to benefit from it,” King Toni Mphephu said.

Man (21) allegedly murders his granny

A 21-year-old man from Guyu village outside Beit Bridge was arrested last week for allegedly causing his 60 year-old grandmother’s death by hitting her with an iron bar on the head. Police spokesperson A/Insp Christopher Ngwenya said the incident happened on Friday last week. It is alleged that Bekithemba Ndlovu assaulted Ms Kabelo Mdlongwa with an iron bar. Ndlovu had earlier been found at his home by his uncle, Tumelo Mdlongwa (27), assaulting Kabelo with the iron bar and even threatening to do the same to Tumelo, who at one time tried to stop him from assaulting his grandmother, Ngwenya said. “On 8 November, at around 13:00, Tumelo, who is the son of Kabelo, came home from the grazing land where he had gone to look for his donkeys. He allegedly found Ndlovu striking Kabelo with an iron bar at their homestead,” said Ngwenya. On seeing his mother being assaulted severely by Ndlovu, Tumelo tried to save her, but failed. Sensing danger, he ran for his life, leaving his mother at the mercy of Ndlovu, Ngwenya said. Tumelo returned to the scene about 30 minutes King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana (left) and ANC General Secretary Gwede Mantashe in discussion later in the company of another villager, Mr Thulani at the Matsila project. Mr Gidimani Ramabulana looks on. Ncube.“When Tumelo returned home, he found his

mother lying in a pool of blood. She was already dead. Mr Ncube quickly apprehended Ndlovu and took him to the police station.” Ndlovu will appear in court soon on a murder charge. The Thoho yandou police are making an appeal to the public to assist them in tracing a wanted man, Jomo Michael Ndivhuho Ra vhura Ma pholi. He is being sought for robb ery. He is known to reside at Khubvi, Makonde and Ha MutshaKhwekhwe. Anyone with information can phone D/W/O Rambelani Mutavhatsindi or Capt Emmanuel Mphephu at 082 455 3539.

Plain Truth The quest for morality

The grass is not always greener on the other side One of the greatest contributory factors towards the high rate of divorce is the notion of thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. It is very easy to be charmed and get attracted to a colleague at work, especially when your marriage is facing its storms and you are not able to deal with the problem comprehensively. No wonder you have individuals who no longer find their spouses attractive but are getting attracted to colleagues at work. Here are some key areas targeted by both men and women in this regard: Communication: I know of men who will stop communicating with their wives at home, but would have the decency to communicate and be more open about any issue with their colleagues at work. They have no balls to talk about family problems, challenges about how children should be raised, their sexual problems and challenges (weak erection and early ejaculation), and finances, among others, at work but would not have the same guts to open up to their partners at home. The same applies to women who have the decency to smile, seduce and talk sweet to their colleagues at work whilst at home communication is falling apart. We always fall into a trap to think that these kinds of people are doing the same with their partners or to even think that you will forever get sweet talk when you are married to the other person. That, for me, is pure deception. Appreciation: There are those who would leave their houses without kissing their spouses goodbye and even appreciate the beauty that they see in them (including complimenting them for dressing well), but having the guts to compliment and appreciate their colleagues on a daily basis. That is, for me, hypocrisy at its best. Charity should begin at home and therefore we should learn to appreciate one another in our marriages because if we do not do that,

vultures will. Finances: There are those men and women who will woo you by opening their purse in terms of providing you with financial assistance as if they will sustain such forever. They will buy you petrol, lunch and even offer to pay your clothing account in an effort to get you to love them. If you are married to a person who is not working or if you are faced with a financial crisis in your household, it is easy to fall for such a trap, but it is just a matter of time before you will start realising that the other person’s charity is not going to last forever. Once you fall for the trap, you will repay whatever is spent on you a hundred times. You will find yourself drowning in more debt than before. Sexual lingo: Sweet talk and sexual lingo that seeks to appetise both the male and female species have always been used by vultures to snatch those who are happily married away from their marriages. "Hey sweety"; "chicken bone"; "yellow bone"; "my standard size" - these are some of the sweet words that are being used in such a time as this. We must stop this deception by using love language toward our spouses as we did yesterday. The grass is not always greener on the other side and therefore, instead of running away from your problems, face them and deal with them with an eye to finding a lasting solution. When the grass becomes dry in your home turf, you need to water it consistently and nurture it; then you will get the desired outcome. - P r o f Derrick Mashau, Unisa Prof Derrick Mashau

Last chance to submit your winning photos It is once again time for the Zoutpansberger and very popular calendar photo competition. The region’s photographers will have until 22 November to submit their entries. This year’s prize money totals R8 400, with 12 winning pictures to be chosen for each of the year’s months. Winning entries will be published in an A2-format 2014 calendar, which will be used by the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror for marketing purposes. The calendars will also be sold to the public at a minimal fee. Only high-resolution photos of subjects unique to the Soutpansberg and surrounding areas will be considered for the competition.

ited to five entries per photographer, which should preferably be submitted in digital format. Cellphone or postcard-size photos will not be considered for the competition. All entries must clearly indicate who the photographer is, their contact details, where and when the photo was taken and what camera was used. Although technical aspects such as the quality and sharpness of the photo will be taken into account,

the photo should, however, only make for a nice picture. Each of the 12 winning photographs will be bought from the photographer at a price of R700 per photo. Entries can be handed in at the office of the Zoutpansberger at 16B Joubert Street, Louis Trichardt.

Gogo Tsakani Mulaudzi, known as Makhadzi by soccer followers, is not just an ordinary kit manager. She is the "mother" of the players of Mpheni Home Defenders, a team in the Safa Vhembe MMK Insurance League. She still actively participates in soccer, the game she fell in love with as a young girl. In the early 60s she grew up as an Orlando Pirates fan, only to switch to the Kaizer Chiefs family during the early 70s. She was attracted by the free-flowing football style of Kaizer Chiefs. Her love for soccer made her the number one supporter of the established Mpheni Home Defenders in the middle 80s. She said that she was recruited by the management of the team to be the treasurer in the 90s. She said that she was happy that a product of the team, Luvhengo Mungomeni, was playing for Moroka Swallows. She appealed to other women to help in mentoring young talent and help to keep them off the streets.

Tough victory for Phungo All Stars Basel FC will not take part in the next stage of the prestigious Nedbank Cup KO competition. They were booted out of the competition by Phungo All Stars 1-0 at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday. Basel played entertaining football, despite the fact it was the first time for the players to play an official match together. They disorganised the opponents by their short passes. When pressure started to mount against them, Basel started to demonstrate their rough skills. The referee, Mr Martin Sivhada, calmed the situation by reprimanding two of their players, Takalani Netshitungulu and Lavhelesani Singo, with yellow cards in the 14th and 18th minute respectively. The coach of Phungo All Stars, Mr Moses Khumbudzo Muthelo, was forced to effect an early change Muvhango of All to his starting line-up. Kamogelo Mogaswa Stars controls the sustained a knee injury and was replaced with high ball. Mthokhozisi Masuku. The Stars’ former Rospa United dribbling wizard, Marks Munyai, was booked for a late tackle on Vhuthuhawe Munyai in the 27th minute. Khumbudzo Muvhango of Stars was also taken off the pitch on a stretcher after sustaining an injury. His was replaced by Stemmer Aphane. No goal was seen during the first half. The Stars took the game to Basel in the opening minutes of the last stanza. Aphane scored the all-important goal in the 67th minute. He connected a great pass from Hulisani Mathugana and beat the Basel keeper, Mashudu Nemakhavhani, with a volley. Basel replaced Isaac Chauke and Godfrey Mohlala with Nhlamulo Mathebula and Aluwani Nemakhavhani respectively in a bid to strengthen their midfield.

Baroka FC shock African Wanderers After losing their previous two league matches in a row, the NFD League newcomers, Baroka FC, made amends and registered a shocking victory against African Warriors, whom they beat 2-0 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday. Baroka moved a few steps up on the log, following their impressive results. They are now lying in the 8th spot. Chippa United were held to a 1-1 draw by the Maluti FET College.

Santos were awarded a penalty, but their slender striker, Steven Solomon, caused an upset by shooting wide. Cosmos did not lose their original fighting spirit, despite the fact that they were reduced to 10 men early in the last half. The pacesetters, Milano United, continued to pave their way to the Absa Premiership by beating their neighbours, Vasco da Gama, 1-0 at the Parow Park Stadium. After collecting the maximum points in their previous two matches, Black Leopards fought hard to grab a point against Sivutsa Stars at the Kabokweni Stadium near Nelspruit. The score was 2-2 when the final whistle was blown. Blackburn Rovers failed to absorb the pressure from FC Cape Town, when they lost 0-1 at the Gelvandale Stadium. The victory was the first for the Cape Town side in nine league outings. FC Cape Town moved from the last to the second-last

position on the log. It was another bad weekend for Thanda Royal Zulu. They were brutally walloped 0-4 by United FC at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Witbank Spurs played to a 2-2 draw with Roses United at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank.

Joe’s Express knock Rospa United out of Nedbank Cup KO Rospa United were booted out of the Nedbank Cup KO Competition in the opening stage of the competition. They lost 1-3 to Joe’s Express FC at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday. As if they were going to bury their opponents alive, United scored their only goal two minutes into the game. Their playmaker, Ndumeliso Mabulele, unleashed a close-range rocket that was too hot for the Express keeper, Rotshidzwa Muleka, to handle. Joe’s Express did not panic, despite conceding an early goal. They patiently initiated some promising moves from behind in search of the equaliser. In the 18th minute of play, Rendani Madega received a beautiful pass from Thembisani Nevhulamba and beat the keeper before sending the ball into an empty net. Takalani Ramagalela of Joe’s Express was reprimanded with a card for dangerous play on Ndumeliso Mabulele. Pressure mounted on the United defence. Their left back, Samuel Mohloa, scored an own goal while trying to clear seven minutes

towards the end of the first half. Joe’s Express were still 2-1 ahead when the proceedings for the first half came to a close. Ndumeliso Mabulele of Rospa United was warned with a card for assimilation early in the second half. He dived inside the box, but the referee was not convinced that he had been obstructed and he was shown a yellow card as a corrective measure. Joe’s Express increased the tally in the 67th minute. Rendani Madega finished off a rebound, following Thembisani Nevhulamba’s attempt. Realizing that victory was almost certain, the coach of Express decided to give Rendani Madega a well-deserved rest by replacing him with Nndateni Netshitadi. Rospa United sacrificed their captain, Mashudu Mashapha, for Lufuno Ligugela a little later. Joe’s Express played the last 15 minutes of the game with one man down. Takalani Ramagalela was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence. Express played defensive football for the remaining Kenneth Lesia of Rospa United (right) and Aubrey Ndou of Express part of the game. fight to win the ball.
