A heavenly voice gets brutally silenced

Calvin Mudau (29) who lost his life after being attacked by a local man. The photo was taken during one of his perfomances at Thohoyandou

Music lovers and the music fraternity in Vhembe have been dealt a huge blow, following the tragic death of one of the region’s most entertaining gospel artists, Calvin Mudau. The artist, known for his unique style of dress, died on Tuesday at the Elim Hospital after being in a coma for three days.

His velvet voice has

joined the heavenly choir and his crazy dance styles will forever be missed.

The 29-year-old Mudau, of Maila village outside Louis Trichardt, was attacked after visiting his aunt at Mpheni on Sunday. The attacker is allegedly a local resident, but the exact details of what had happened were still sketchy at the time of going to press.

His death has left many questions unanswered and has shocked the district and those who loved his music. His longtime friend and colleague, Lucky M, who is known for hits like Jorodane (Vhanwe Vha a Wela) and Vho Luga, said he was with him when the incident happened.

Lucky Mashudu, who is popularly known as Lucky M in music circles, said he had a traumatic experience following the attack Lucky M, who worked with Mudau, is still in a state of shock following the death of his long-time colleague.

He is seen holding a photo of his late friend.

of his friend.

“We were at the village where he was looking for another man. He entered a certain homestead with the intention of asking about the man while I remained in the car outside the home. When he came out, he complained that he had been attacked and hit with a pick axe handle,” said Mashudu.

According to Mashudu, his friend became weak and he took him to the local hospital, where he was admitted. “He fell into a coma, but died on Tuesday,” said Mashudu. He said that he was told the sad news by nurses at the hospital when he went to visit him.

“I am very distressed. I have lost a colleague at work and a friend with whom I spent most of my time. We had so many things planned. We were going to record a DVD for our new CD this week. We also had many performances lined up together. I do not know what will become of me alone. I do not know how I will face life and cope without him,” said Mashudu.

Mashudu was unclear as to what had led to his friend’s being attacked. “If he had done something wrong, I think it would have been better for the man to have told me. Maybe we could have talked it over and reached an amicable solution,” he said.

A grieving Hilda Ramabulana, the deceased’s aunt, said the tragic death had left a wound in her heart that would take a long time to heal.

She said she raised the deceased and his three sisters from childhood after the death of their mother many years ago. “He was the only son and we had high hopes that he would one day be successful and take care of us as parents. His musical career was just beginning to blossom; we will sorely miss him,” she said.

Ramabulana said they had left everything in the hands of the police to do their work and ensure that the attacker was arrested and sent to jail. She said the family was struggling to bury

him and would accept any form of help that could come.

His brother, Tshipa Edward Mudau, said he had visited the family where Calvin was killed and was told that Calvin had not provoked anybody. “I am worried that the police are not giving us any help. So far, we understand that the man who killed him is roaming the streets and police are doing nothing to arrest him. We are not at all happy about the conduct of the police. It seems as if they fear him and that is why they are not helping us,” he said. He said he would be happy to see the culprit behind bars to answer for his actions.

Bishop Roxley Masevhe, Vhembe District Music Forum chairperson, said the death came at a time when there was disunity among artists.

He said it was saddening to find that artists were dying poor and could not even be given a dignified

funeral. Masevhe called on all artists to come together and assist the family in their time of need.

“We are still going to die, and with piracy being crippling our industry, we are still going to face a lot of problems. The sooner we come together and chart the way forward, the better,” added Masevhe. Waterval police spokesperson W/O Livhuwani Josias Mabatha confirmed the incident. He said a case of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm had been registered after the incident. “The deceased was certified dead three days after his admission at the local hospital, and we have now opened a murder case,” he said. He said a suspect had been arrested and would appear in court soon.

A memorial service, where artists from all over Vhembe were expected to attend, was scheduled to take place at Ha Rathidili on Thursday. Mudau will be buried on Saturday (tomorrow) at 6:00 in Tshikhwani Ha Rathidili outside Louis Trichardt.

Music festival to re-unite region’s artists A three-day-long music festival, sponsored by Elegant Fuel, kicked off yesterday (Thursday) and will end on Sunday in Thohoyandou.

According to the event coordinator, Andani Matumba, the selected venue will ensure that more people are able to attend.

“To ensure that we reach many of our youth and all interested people, the expo will be held in Thohoyandou. We are trying to cater to the alternative music demand that has erupted in the Vhembe District Municipality

in the past couple of years,” says Matumba. According to Matumba, the Vhulombe show is an annual provincial music business expo. It is also an attempt to get industry stakeholders under one roof, to breathe life into the Limpopo music industry.

She said it was a platform to share expertise, network, release new projects and exhibit over the three-day expo. “The Limpopo music Industry is one of those complicated industries where people just do as they please.

That is now about to change,

however, as the event aims to empower and equip our very own upcoming artists with the creative juices to tackle the industry,” she said.

The three-day expo will be divided into three sections, namely the workshop, the exhibition along with an anti-piracy march in the streets of Thohoyandou and live performances by local artists. The event will be graced with live performances by, among others, MIZO, Mac Fam, Bellafonte, Colbert Mukwevho and several DJs.

Disabled man dies in fire at Ravele The Ravele community is still reeling with shock after a disabled man, Ntshavheni Mukoki (31), died in a fire last Wednesday night.

Phineas Mukoki, uncle of the deceased, said that Ntshavheni was staying alone in his oneroom house. He said community members and the police tried to put out the fire, but it was very fierce. “They tried to use buckets of water, but the water seemed to give more power to the fire. Everything burnt to ashes,” he said.

Phineas claimed that the man’s home had been set alight by an The late Mr Ntsha­ unknown arsonist who vheni Mukoki. wanted him dead. He

said the alleged arsonist gained entrance through a hole in the fence. “It is obviously somebody who knows the place very well. Ntshavheni had just received his disability grant the same day and he had not yet used it. The perpetrator will obviously pay for his horrible actions,” he said.

The chairperson of the local Civic, Mr Moses Mamphaga, said that this was the first cruel incident of its kind in Ravele village. “We are deeply shocked and we request community members to come forward with more evidence, because whoever did this deserves to rot in jail. We send our deepest sympathy to the family,” he said. The mayor of Makhado municipality, Cllr Mavhungu Luruli, said the family should know that the municipality shared their grief. “We know it is painful to lose loved ones, but we would like the family to accept it as it is. This is not the time to point fingers, but for the family to be more united than ever.

We will be with you and give you the necessary support wherever possible,” she said.

Tshilwavhusiku SAPS station commissioner Lt Col Freddy Shirinda confirmed the incident.

“We have opened an inquest docket,” he said.

Reggae king Colbert Mukwevho in full swing.

By Elmon Tshikhudo

Colbert Mukwevho a hit at Tshilidzini South Africa’s reggae maestro, Colbert Mukwevho of the Harley and the Rasta Family fame, mesmerised fans and more especially disabled learners during a performance at Tshilidzini Special School at Shayandima outside Thohoyandou.

The well-known reggae star performed for free for the school. This was during the school’s 40th birthday celebrations held at the school’s premises on Friday.

During his performance, Mukwevho, who in his formative years recorded and performed with stars like Brenda

Fassie and Sello Chicco Twala, took the ecstatic fans on a musical journey. Sporting his trademark dreadlocks, he dished tracks from his famous albums, old and new, to the fans whocould not stop dancing.

Asked as to why out of all schools that were celebrating Casual Day he chose the one for the disabled, Mukwevho was quick to say that they had a special place in his heart.

“I could have gone somewhere else, but I chose to be with these children. They are what they are not of their own will, but the will of God, but they remain people like us,”

he said.

“I felt that I should contribute in one way or another and this is my humble contribution to the learners. I am very excited to be part of the celebrations,” he said.

Prince Ndwambi, himself disabled, said he approached Mukwevho and asked him to perform but made it clear that there was no money. He said he was very happy when Mukwevho agreed and said that he would contribute his services for free. “It is very rare for disabled learners to attend concerts, but Mukwevho’s presence here made our day,” he said.

Levubu police recover stolen firearms The police in Levubu made a breakthrough last Saturday when they recovered two guns that were stolen from one of the farms in the area. This comes after an unknown man allegedly broke into one of the houses at U NO ME farm in Levubu and stole two guns.

The guns, a .303 rifle and a .22 rifle, were later recovered by the police in one of the houses at Valdezia village outside Elim, after the police received a tip-off from members of the community.

The police also recovered another .303 rifle in the same house.

W/O Solly Mukhola of the Levubu police confirmed the incident. He said that two men had broken into the farm house and stolen a safe that had guns inside. “We have opened a case of housebreaking and the investigation is still continuing,” said Mukhola. He added that the police managed to arrest three suspects, aged 25, 24 and 25. The suspects had not yet appeared in court at the time of going to press.

Ndivhuwo Tshikota´s dream of getting a wheelchair became a reality when he eventually received one last week. The 16-year-old Ndivhuwo, a resident of Madombidzha, was born handicapped and has been struggling to get a wheelchair for years. With him in the photo are his mother, Rabella, and a community development worker, Mr Moses Ralubuvhi. The wheelchair was donated by the Rotary Club of Louis Trichardt, after Ralubuvhi approached them for assistance.

Mukhola praised members of the community who continued working together with the police in the fight against crime.

In a letter Mirror received on Tuesday morning, the Scheepers family from Levubu expressed their appreciation towards the police for the excellent work done. The family applauded the police for responding so quickly to the call for assistance and for the manner in which they managed to recover the weapons and apprehend the suspects.

Fhatuwani Ndou of Thohoyandou in her full amaBokoboko regalia is betting on the Springboks to lift the World Cup, even though they had a rough ride in their opening match against Wales. She called on the whole community to rally around the Bokke during their campaign.

Chaos as learners vandalise high school In a very unusual incident, angry learners at Mafumani High School at Homu village in Giyani pelted their school with stones.

The nasty situation developed two weeks ago. The children boycotted classes amidst a disagreement between teachers and the principal over the hiring of a new teacher at the school. The teacher in question, Tsakani Baloyi, was apparently a teacher at the school, but left last year for a higher post at the circuit office.

She apparently returned to take the position of deputy-principal at the school, a move which angered some teachers, who felt they were being overlooked and that she was being favoured by the principal.

The uproar is said to have started when the teacher was

introduced to staff and learners.

Learners apparently walked out on the principal, Mr Lemson Ngwenya, during assembly when he arrived with his new deputy.

A disagreement which ensued thereafter allegedly turned into full-blown violence on Friday of the same week, where learners pelted the school principal with stones, broke windows of some offices at the school and damaged a windshield on one of the teachers’ cars.

By Monday last week, there were no classes at the school except the Grade 12s, who were writing an English paper.

A meeting comprising SGB members, teachers and the circuit manager was held at the school to try and resolve the matter. According to information leaked by some of the SGB members who

attended the meeting, it is clear that they do not want to work with the principal anymore.

On Tuesday, another meeting, which included all the parents, was held at the school without his presence. This time, some learners were said to have turned up after a rumour that “the principal is going” had done the rounds at the school. However, they were released earlier than usual to make way for the meeting.

Meanwhile, the chairperson of the SGB at the school, Vincent Mthombeni, is keeping mum on the outcome of the Tuesday meeting, which all parents had been invited to attend. He had earlier promised to comment if given the mandate to do so.

The spokesperson for the Department of Education, Pat Kgomo, condemned the situation at the school, saying the department believed that “the learners are being influenced by certain teachers in the school.

As a department, we condemn the engaging of learners in issues that do not require their presence. If it were something that has to do with a school policy that affects them, we would understand, but this clearly does not require them and we therefore Mafumani Secondary School has recently been rocked by a spate of strongly condemn it and violence. Windows were shattered and other damage was caused during we call on all learners to the chaos. resume classes,” he said.

“I did didn’t not kill kill thethe rhinos,” says Baloyi Suspected rhino killer Lucas Baloyi pleaded not guilty on charges relating to the poaching of rhinos in the Kruger National Park.

He appeared in the Louis Trichardt Regional Court on Monday on one charge of theft, one of illegal activities in a special nature reserve, one of restricted activities involving threatened or protected species without a permit, and one charge of the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Baloyi was arrested on June 14 last year, when six park rangers on patrol in Mbandweni near the Vlakteplaas area in the park allegedly caught him red-handed while he was hacking the horn from the carcass of a white rhino.

Two more rhino horns from another rhino were also found in his possession. The carcass of another rhino, with the horns removed, was found a stone’s throw away from were Baloyi was arrested.

The four horns have an estimated value of R270 000, while the two rhinos that he allegedly gunned down were valued at R700 000. While trying to flee from the park rangers, a gunfight erupted between him and the rangers. Baloyi was wounded four times and had to be taken to hospital for treatment.

During his court appearance, an ailing Baloyi pleaded not guilty to all the charges. During his defence he explained that he was walking through the park towards Giyani, where he has a homestead, to visit his girlfriend. “I had nothing to do with the rhinos,” he said. After his plea, the State handed evidence over to the court. This included, among others, an expert affidavit of Mr Johannes van Rooyen regarding the .375 Winchester rifle and spent bullet rounds that were recovered during Baloyi’s arrest. The State also provided DNA-results from the four rhino horns that were recovered. According to these results, the rhino horns belonged to the respective carcasses of the two rhinos. Due to Baloyi’s poor health, the State asked that the case be postponed, so that he can receive treatment. His case was then postponed until November 14 and 15.

Zim officer jailed for attempted murder A Zimbabwean police officer based in Beit Bridge was sentenced to an effective three years in jail for throwing a sleeping two-year-old baby out of a moving vehicle.

Prosper Jemoth Nhamoinesu pleaded not guilty to an attempted murder charge but was convicted by a local regional magistrate Mr Owen Tagu on Friday.

The prosecutor, Mr Johannes Tlou, said that on January 16 last year, the victim was travelling with her parents in a family car, which was being driven by the

father. The family was travelling from Beit Bridge and heading towards Tuli village.

The court heard that, on arrival at the Limpopo Business Centre, they found Nhamoinesu, who was in the company of work mates, waiting for transport to travel to Tuli. Nhamoinesu and his colleagues were then offered a lift by the victim’s father.

The court heard that Nhamoinesu chose to occupy a front seat where he joined the victim’s mother, who also seated in front while holding the baby.

Along the way, Nhamoinesu

offered to hold the baby and the mother obliged, during which time the baby fell asleep in his arms. Nhamoinesu, who was in a drunken stupor, threw the sleeping baby out of the moving vehicle through the window. The baby fell headlong and sustained severe head injuries.

After the incident, he pretended that nothing had happened and the victim’s father stopped the car. Nhamoinesu was arrested by his colleagues and the baby was taken to the Beit Bridge District Hospital, where a medical report was compiled.

Farm workers join the war against crime In an effort to create a crimefree environment in the farming community, the Levubu police engaged a group of farm labourers in a cleaning campaign last Thursday.

According to the spokesperson for the Levubu SAPS, the aim of the campaign was to unite the farm workers in the fight against crime. "The police alone cannot succeed in the war against crime but need the whole farming com-

munity to become successful. Together we can do more," he said.

Mukhola added that the campaign was also meant to create a clean working environment in the farming area.

Workers from various farms participated in the campaign.

Pensioner pedals his water problems away When a resident of Hamutsha village, Mr Mushaisano Solomon Mashamba (70), started digging a well in his yard using pick and shovel two years ago, many jumped to the conclusion that he was mentally unstable.

He moved from Tshirangadzi to Hamutsha Tshiluvhi area at the beginning of 2007.

It soon became clear to him that there was a scarcity of water in the area as people used to walk for about five kilometers to fetch water at the local clinic.

Mashamba told himself that enough was enough and started to dig his own well in his yard.

At that stage, he was working in Olifantsfontein, Johannesburg, from where he usually came back home every month end. He revealed that it took him about six months to dig the hole, which is 15 meters deep and three meters wide.

When he retired from his work about a year ago, Mashamba told himself that it was time for him to accomplish his mission. After completing the digging part of the well, he was faced with the challenge of getting the water to the surface.

Mashamba finally decided to assemble some pieces of a windmill he got from one of his employers during his heydays to make a self-invented, It’s real: Mr Solomon Mashamba shows the amount of water his home-made machine can pump home-made water pump. The pump is propelled by out while his grandson, Ndivhaleni Mulaudzi, operates the pump. a bicycle wheel, and the more one rides the bicycle,

Champions Academy to become high school New and exciting developments are under way at Champions Academy Combined School. For the first time, there will be an intake of Grade 8s next year, as well as a new principal for the senior phase.

For years now, parents have asked Ms Sonja Prinsloo, the founder and director of the school, to offer education beyond Grade 7. There will be a bridging class available to bring students up to standard where necessary.

“Students who apply for Grade 8 will be evaluated. We will need a commitment from the student as well as the parents, in order to be a team who aims for excellence. We go for quality, not quantity,” Prinsloo said on September 9.

“Another development is that the Bible will be part of the core curriculum of the school,” Prinsloo said.

Ms Christa Venter, with 30 years’ teaching experience, has been appointed as principal from next year. For the last 18 years, Ms Venter taught at Emmanuel Christian School in Louis Trichardt .

She was head of department for the past five years.

As principal of Champions Academy, Venter will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the school as well as the quality control of the senior phase.

“I am looking forward to the new challenge. I love the built-in counselling in the disciplinary system. Parents are immediately involved to make a difference in the life of the child. Proper parenting is one of the things closest to my heart. Children need a strong family unit in order to feel safe and secure,” Venter said.

Although Prinsloo will still be involved with the school and the quality control of the junior phase, the appointment of a new principal will free her to follow her broader vision of involvement in the community.

“My vision is to train children who drop out of basic maths and reading and writing skills by using the Open School Programme and to train women to generate income by means of a patchwork project,” Prinsloo said.

Champions Academy Combined School is registered with the Limpopo Independent School Association (LISA) as well as the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). They are registered with the Department of Education to take students up to Grade 9 and are in the process of applying to be an exam centre for Grade 12 for the Independent Examination Board.

Waterberg’s Mahlakola is agriculture sector’s best female entrepreneur for 2011 In an attempt to encourage hardworking women in the agricultural sector, the provincial department of agriculture held its provincial Female Entrepreneur Awards in Polokwane last Thursday night.

Ms Veronica Mokgaetjie Mahlakola of the Waterberg District was crowned best female entrepreneur. She received R60 000 and a brand new tractor.

She outclassed other female entrepreneurs in the top entrepreneur for export markets in the horticulture and crops category.

Mahlakola is a director of Suningdale Farmers Trust, which was purchased by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform from the previous owner on behalf of 55 workers last year.

The farm produces a variety of citrus fruit that is sold to the Johannesburg Fresh Produce Market as well as international markets in Europe.

The female entrepreneurs competed in five categories: the best female worker, best subsistence producer, top entrepreneur (smallholder), best processor and top entrepreneur (commercial).

Ms Mathobo Livhuwani of Vhembe was the winner in the top entrepreneur (smallholder) in fisheries. She received a certificate, a trophy and R60 000.

Mudimela’s entrepreneurs en route to JHB Mudimeli Secondary School is representing Limpopo in the national Eskom Enterprise Education Simama Ranta Schools Competition that will take place in the Coca Cola Dome in Johannesburg. The event started on Tuesday (September 13) and will finish on Monday.

Situated in Mudimeli rural village in the Nzhelele area, the school outclassed other secondary schools in the province with their entrepreneurship projects.

According to a spokesperson for the event, “the annual Eskom Enterprise Education Simama Ranta Schools Competition highlights the wide variety of comprehensive, quality entrepreneurship projects in South African schools. The school received R10 000 for winning the provincial competition.

“A panel representing the Department of Education, the private sector and experts in

entrepreneurship education adjudicate the competition and select finalists from within the competing schools. These schools that operate in different regions have differing socio-economic backgrounds and an assortment of grade levels,” said the project manager for Education with Enterprise Trust, Ms Mamahashe Mosheshe.

She added that the competition was being run through the Youth Enterprise Society Programme at high schools across the country.

“The schools practice entrepreneurship projects at their schools.

We then asses the projects, based on the income of the project, and select the best ones among them,” said Mosheshe.

“The competition aims to identify, honour and showcase South African secondary schools that are inspirational examples to other schools. It also encourages learners to consider entrepre-

neurship as a career choice and become creators of jobs rather than job seekers,” she added.

All this comes after Mudimeli secondary school received a donation of sewing machines, garden equipment and electrical equipment from an NGO, Save the Children, last year. Mr Alfred Mafukaduvha, a teacher at the school, said that after receiving the donation, the school started engaging in vegetable gardening, welding and sewing projects.

“We started selling vegetables, things that the pupils sewed and welded at the projects. We were then nominated to enter for the competition,” he said.

He expressed his happiness for his school to be nominated among the national finalists.

Mafukaduvha went to the final with the deputy-principal of the school, Mr Alpheus Mabuduga, and two Grade 11 pupils, Rendani Chauke and Gift Dimo.

Woman, daughter (6) killed by elephant A 38-year-old Zimbabwean woman and her six-year-old daughter were killed by an elephant while going to their new home, police have said.

The victim, Elinate Siamavhu, and her daughter, Cholletha, were moving items from their old home in Siakobvu Village outside Beit Bridge, when the animal charged at them.

The local police spokesperson,

Inspr Clemence Mabgweazara, said the incident occurred on Saturday at around 18:30.

“The mother was trampled and died instantly, while her daughter was gored by the elephant and died on the way to hospital,” he said.

The two bodies were discovered by Siamavhu’s husband.

He found his wife lying in a pool of blood, while his daugh-

ter groaned in pain nearby. The child’s intestines were protruding.

Mabgweazara said the pair’s death brought to three the number of people killed by elephants in the neighbouring country this year. In June, a local tourist guide in the resort town of Victoria Falls was killed by a lone elephant bull while walking a client back to a hotel.

Limpopo gives R25m for Univen research The Limpopo provincial government has signed a R25 million research agreement with the University of Limpopo (UL) and the University of Venda (Univen) respectively. The event took place last Tuesday.

The Limpopo Research Observatory (LRO) agreement will see Univen and UL produce research papers aimed at assisting the provincial government in its service delivery mandate over the next five years.

“The provincial government will spend R5 million per year over a five-year period, so that research programmes that will be conducted by the two universities can function effectively,” said Univen’s legal advisor, Nanga Lidovho.

Univen Vice-Chancellor and Principal Professor Peter Mbati signed the agreement with the general manager for strategic information management, monitoring, evaluation, research and development in the premier’s office, Rudzani Murovhi.

Lidovho said the research would be in line

with key objectives in the government’s programme of action towards service delivery.

“We will facilitate the undertaking of applied community interest research to advise government regarding the provincial government’s service delivery mandate. We want to develop indicators and benchmarks for fast-tracking rural development progress in the province,” he said.

He added that the LRO would help enhance and consolidate partnerships with institutions of higher learning and key role players in research, development and innovation.

“Academics and post-graduate students will be hired to conduct outreach research in the communities that will help government to deliver services based on communities’ priorities,” Lidovho said.

Mbati said it was overwhelming to see Univen play an important role in institutional research meant for rural development. “I hope the researchers will be able to fully involve rural communities and come out with solid research based on analysis and proper consultation with rural communities,” said Mbati.

UL spokesperson Kgalema Mohuba said the university’s management had signed their part of the agreement last week. “The agreement entails the same mandate with that signed with Univen.

We anticipate a great shift in research development from the two universities and UL is ready to play its role in helping the government deliver,” said Mohuba.

Prof Peter Mbati (vice-chanchellor of the University of Venda) signs a memorandum of understanding, while Rudzani Murovhi of the Limpopo Premier´s office looks on.

Ravele community outraged by murder The anger, frustration and pain of a community surfaced two weeks ago as Mrs Anna Ratshilumela (47) was buried at Ravele cemetery. She was killed on August 23 while returning from work. Her senseless death has angered the community to such an extent that they are now threatening with mass action, baying for revenge against the alleged killer.

Mrs Ratshilumela’s killer hit her over the head and left her body on the ground.

A 40-year-old suspect, Jackson Tshisimba, was arrested on the 26th after the police received a tip-off from members of the community at Mpheni village.

Tshisimba appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court on September 2. His case was postponed to 26 September for a formal bail apllication.

Mrs Ratshilumela’s funeral was attended by, among others,

the mayor of Makhado, Cllr Mavhungu Luruli. “Let’s unite to fight against the meaningless killing of our women,” she said.

Luruli urged women to speak out against all forms of women and children abuse. Mayor Luruli said that the practice of granting free bail to abusers of women was just another way of failing women and promoting evil acts against mothers. “As women, we just feel that we are not protected, but we are not going to rest until justice prevails,” she said. “We convey our deepest condolences to family members on their great loss. This also affected us as government,” she said.

The sound of hymns was overpowered by weeping and wailing during the funeral. “We have accepted what had happened, although we know we will never forget it. The pain we experience as a family is more than words can express,” said a

family representative, Mr Mpho Tharaga. “We did not expect she would die such a horrible death, but there is nothing we can do,” he said.

“We also thank the community for their support since the tragedy struck. Your presence and contributions made us strong, although we know the tragedy will ring in our minds for the rest of our lives,” said Mpho.

He thanked the donors who helped the poor family to bury their beloved mother, especially Tshitshithe Undertakers, Muton- Sinthumule women photographed at the tombstone of the late Mrs Anna Ratshilumela.

Malamulele church reaches out to Tshilidzini The Malamulele Presbytery has called on other churches to follow its example and assist disabled people. The church recently donated different items worth thousands of rands to the Tshilidzini Special School.

A delegation from the church went to the school at the end of August, accompanied by Thulamela Mayor Grace Mahosi.

They donated food parcels and clothes worth more than R50 000 to the school. The donation was raised by the Malamulele Presbytery Men’s Guild.

Speaking at the occasion, Mayor Mahosi said the occasion was an eye opener for her. She appealed to other churches to follow suit. She said the plight of disabled children needed the

involvement of churches as much as that of the government and business. “When you get closer to the school, the situation touches you because, although the facility is supported by the government, the government alone cannot fight poverty completely,” she said.

The chairman of the Malamulele Presbytery Men’s Guild, Love Masia, said some members of their church had told them of the situation, but they did not expect to see what they saw.

“Sometimes staff members at the school take their own money and buy clothes for the children who get admitted with no other clothes except the ones they wear,” said Masia. He gave the example of one such child

whose parents had died and the only clothes he had, were the ones he had put on that day.

The church had collected items such as blankets, soap, toothbrushes, jerseys, dust coats, skirts, shoes and biscuits. The church also donated R2 800, while the women of the church collected an amount of R1 000 on the spot and donated it.

The church in Malamulele also entered into partnership with the United Reformed Church in Tshilidzini, so that they can work hand in hand when it comes to looking after the children at the school.

“We are calling on all other churches to visit the school, because the plight of the children is touching,” said Masia.

Members of the Malamulele Men´s Guild sing joyfully during the function.

Vukosi sentenced to 10 years for rape

Vukosi Johnson Nandula.

The Waterval Regional Court sentenced Vukosi Johnson Nandula (19) of Chavani village to ten years in jail for rape.

He raped two young women, both aged 17 years, in January this year. Nandula will spend the next ten years in jail, with no option of a fine. His sentence was handed down last Thursday.

In court, it was heard that he was coming from the Loss-Matheka tavern in the Elim area, when he met the two women. He then dragged them inside an old building and raped them. The women laid charges of rape at the police station and he was Malamulele Men´s Guild chairperson Mr Love Masia (second from left) and Thulamela Mayor subsequently arrested. Members of the community Grace Mahosi (white dress, holding a wheelchair) hand over the goodies at the Tshilidzini Special expressed their satisfaction with the sentence.

“Not my mother who died” - Ramaphosa

Pastor Hope Ramaphosa said people used to mistake her for being Gloria Mudau´s daughter. She urged people to stop sending condolences to the family.

Ethel Mudau, who was rumoured to have died, is still going strongly, despite her old age.

Pastor Hope Ramaphosa of the Seed of Hope Ministries in Thohoyandou has urged the community to stop sending them condolences and spreading a rumour that her mother is dead.

After the death of a well-known TV actor, Gloria Mudau, who was known as Sis' Louise in the SABC TV series Sgudi 'Snaysi, a rumour started doing the rounds that Ramaphosa's mother, Ethel Mudau, had passed away.

Ramaphosa, who is also involved in motivational talks at schools, said immediately after the death of the famous actor, she started receiving sympathetic SMSes from different people and people started streaming to her mother's home in Dube, Soweto, to offer their condolences.

“My mother is not dead; she is still alive and safe under the care of the Lord. People should stop sending us messages of condolence," she said. According to her, people confuse her as a daughter to the late Ms Mudau because of their close resemblance. “My mother’s name is Ethel Mudau, a retired matron who worked at Chris Hani Baragwanath, and not Gloria. People should not confuse the two. My mother is of Xhosa origin. Gloria was an educator and actor, and the only similarity is that they share the surname Mudau,” added Ramaphosa.

“We are very thankful for the love that people have shown to us. We never knew that people loved us so much, but the messages have opened our eyes that there are people out there who love this family," she said. She thanked all who showed support for the family, even though they were not in mourning.

NTK´s managing director, Mr Tienie Ras, encourages learners from neighbouring schools to take farming seriously during the expo.

By Elmon Tshikhudo

Vhembe farmers benefit from NTK Expo Farmers in the Thohoyandou area had the opportunity to obtain first-hand knowledge about the latest industry trends as well as technologies available during an expo held in Muledane.

The day, dubbed the NTK Expo, was held at the store's premises at Muledane outside Thohoyandou last Wednesday.

Stalls for suppliers from different companies were erected on the premises and experts were on hand to assist farmers with their problems.

Welcoming farmers and learners, the company's managing director, Mr Tienie Ras, said the day was important in the company's history as they were

also launching a new logo. “We have been in the business for many years, and from the contact we have with local farmers we came to realise that most of the farmers are not in touch with modern farming trends.

We felt that we should do our bit as a company to empower our farmers, so that they can increase their production,” he said.Ras said modern farming went with modern technologies which farmers had to acquaint themselves with. He said they were giving farmers an opportunity to meet experts who would give them the best advice on their day-to-day farming needs and challenges.

“This is one of our biggest

branches in the country. Many local farmers buy their daily needs here; we cannot let them down. We care for them and would like to see them one day growing to be big commercial farmers who will in turn support us in a big way. This is a way of ploughing back, and we will continue doing this, so that there will be development in the farming sector,” he said.

The store manager, Mr Gerhard Swart ,said he was very satisfied with the outcome of the event. “We had a similar event last year, but judging by the attendance this year, this one was a roaring success. This goes to show that we are growing by leaps and bounds,” he said.

SANDF called in to help with paperwork

New executive members of the Makhado branch of the South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) were recently elected during a meeting at the Louis Trichardt show grounds. Standing from left are Prince Muofhe (spokesperson), Ben Bungela, Ndivhuwo Phasha and Lettie Munyai.

In front are Elvis Tlou (chairperson), Lawrence Murovhi (deputy-chairperson), Mercy Matamela (secretary), Joel Denga, Takalani Satege and Rudzani Ratombo.

The Department of Home Affairs has engaged the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to assist in finalising outstanding applications of the Zimbabwean documentation project.

In a statement, the directorgeneral of the department, Mr Mkuseli Apleni, said they were now in the final stages of the documentation exercise. The department will submit a report to the Minister of Home Affairs, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, by the end of the month to determine a final closing date for the project.

“With a view of closing the project, we have increased capacity within the department in the last three weeks, by including 274 members of the South

African National Defence Force to assist with the finalisation of outstanding applications,” Apleni said.

“We reiterate that, since the closure of the project on December 31 last year, no new applications for work, study and business permits under the Zimbabwe Documentation Process will be accepted and processed,” he said. Undocumented Zimbabweans in South Africa were given the opportunity last year to apply for work, business or study permits. The department received more than 270 000 applications, of which more than 130 000 have been finalised.

Apleni urged the Zimbabweans iwith outstanding applications to provide the department with supporting documentation.

Meanwhile, the department also called on all matriculants to ensure they have legal identity documents before the final matric exams start later this year.

Apleni said the issuing of IDs to matriculants was a priority project and matriculants who still needed to apply for IDs must ask for the office manager of their regional office to ensure the application is expedited.

He said the department would work with the education department to determine how many learners had registered for the exams.

“We will also set up a call centre, which we will do once we receive the report from the Department of Education and we can see whether we have got huge numbers,” Apleni said.

Tshilidzini Special School turns 40 A large number of former pupils, parents and teachers of the Tshilidzini Special School in Shayandima celebrated the school’s 40th birthday at the school grounds last Friday. .

The former principal, Mr Johan Viljoen, also attended the event.

The day was characterised by different activities, which included Casual Day. All the invited guest speakers applauded the school for the excellent work it had done for the community.

Several guests photographed at the event. In the centre, at the back, are the principal of Tshilidzini Founded in 1971 with only 20 Special School, Mr Mbulaheni Maluma, Dzindi Circuit Manager Ms Tinyiko Nkuzana and a pupils, the school was the only one in the former Far Northern former principal of the school, Mr Johan Viljoen.

The principal of the school, Mr Mbulaheni Maluma, said the school had provided excellent

service to the communities of Limpopo over the years. “From a humble beginning, our school has progressed and is one of the best in the province. It has become a centre of excellence,” he said.

Maluma said they had produced a number of leading personalities who had overcome the odds to claim their rightful place in society.

Dzindi circuit manager Ms Tinyiko Nuzana commended the school for the good work they were doing.

“We are happy to be associated with the school. We will continue giving the school the necessary support,” she said.

In an interview, former principal Mr Johan Viljoen, who worked at the school for many years said he was excited to be back. “I am very happy to be part

of the celebrations. I have been part of the making of history at this institution. I am impressed by the tremendous developments that are taking place here,” he said.

Ndidzulafhi Mudau, a former pupil of the school who received a BA Admin degree from the University of Venda, attended the event in her academic gown.

Mudau, who uses crutches and is presently working at Standard Bank in Louis Trichardt, said she wanted to motivate other disabled learners with the message that life does not end at school, and that they could go out and make a meaningful contribution in their communities.

The evergreen Colbert Mukwevho of Harley-and-the-RastaFamily fame entertained the guests during the event.

Local businessman sponsors uniforms

AS WELL AS ...

To promote a culture of learning among children from poor backgrounds, the managing director of Nzhelele Funerals, Mr Sam Ntshauba, bought uniforms for 30 learners of the Kokwane Primary School.

During the official handingover ceremony held last Thursday at Matidza, Mr Ntshauba said that growing up in a village had taught him to understand the hardships faced by rural families. “I was born and bred in this area where unemployment is rife, and this made me understand life better. I do not want to see these children suffer and not have a brighter future,” he said. Ntshauba further said the donation formed part of a

project to encourage the learners to take their education seriously, so that they too can become educated future leaders.

“We are going to intervene and see to it that learners have better resources. We were touched to see some of the learners with tattered uniforms and others coming barefoot,” he said. Ntshauba said he could not just sit down and pretend that nothing was happening.

“These are our children, brothers, sisters and future leaders of this country. Let us rally behind them to ensure that they all have access to better education,” he said.

He said he was encouraged by the manner in which the school

was being run and the unity displayed by members of the staff, learners, traditional leaders and the community at large.

He encouraged the children to take their education seriously.

“It starts here. This is your foundation. We were once learners like you and we worked hard in order to achieve our goals.

It is possible and nothing can stop you from achieving your long-cherished dreams,” he said.

Educator of Kokwane Ms Azwindini Mahadulula could not hide her happiness. She said it was good to be receiving help from businesspeople.

“We are very grateful for what the Ntshauba family has done today,” she said.

Another important away hurdle for Black Leopards After meeting Supersport United at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium in Pretoria on Wednesday evening, Black Leopards will play their weekend fixture away from home.

They will pay a visit to Platinum Stars at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace in Rustenburg tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon.

Narrow victory of RO United Tshakhuma RO United collected maximum points at the expense of Itsani Double Chiefs when they beat them 1-0 at Itsani on Sunday.

United squandered numerous scoring chances in the opening minutes.

Their speedy forward, Shonisani Rambebu, was the first player to cause an upset. Instead of relaxing on the ball and trying other possible ways, Rambebu unleashed aimlessly from the edge of the box in the fourth minute.

As if what Rambebu had done was

not good enough to stir up the team’s supporters, his team mate, Khathustshelo Mukomafhedzi, committed a similar blunder moments thereafter.

The boys were separated from men in the 24th minute.

Nndwakhulu Mathisa forced his way through the defence of Double Chiefs and unleashed from inside the box. The keeper of Double Chiefs, Waidona Mundlovu, could not save the situation, despite stretching to the limit.

The home side introduced two new faces early in the last half. They replaced Naledzani Ralutanda and Selby Nenwali with Mashudu Mavhasa and Tshifhiwa Nethonzhe respectively. United responded by replacing Vhutshilo Nkhumeleni with Khathutshelo Mudau in the 68th minute.

United missed a fortune when Shonisani Rambebu shot wide after beating the defence.

Double Chiefs tried everything within their reach in their search for the equalizer, but Lady Luck was not on their side. Their midfielder, Lucas Mundalamo, could not believe his eyes when his volley Nyambeni Ndwamato of Double Chiefs controls missed the target by inches. the ball.

to show his former employers it was a mistake on their side to let him go when his contract with the club expired three months ago. He will be in Platinum Stars’ line-up for the match and, as former captain of Leopards, he will be aware of the strong points of Lidoda Duvha.

Vhembe women win provincial SAPS competition Vhembe District SAPS has been crowned as the champion in the provincial SAPS Women in Sports Competition that was held at the Louis Trichardt Rugby Field last Saturday.

All five districts of Limpopo competed in various sporting codes during the competition.

The sporting codes included women's soccer, netball, volleyball, tug of war, 'boeremusiek', table tennis, traditional dances and indigenous games such as murabaraba and khadi.

Waterberg finished in second posi-

tion, Mopani third, Capricorn fourth and Sekhukhune finished in the last position.

The competition started with a 5km walk, in which the Makhado mayor, Cllr Mavhungu Luruli, the executive mayor of Vhembe District, Cllr Florence Dzhombere, and Khosikhulu Vho-Toni Mphephu Ramabulana participated.

Gen Dibero Molatjana, the deputyprovincial commissioner, said that provincial SAPS Women in Sports Competition was an annual event that was celebrated by the women in the SAPS. "This is a very important day on the calender of the

SAPS. This is to ensure that members of our police team are always fit," she said.

The executive mayor of Vhembe District Municipality, Cllr Florence Dzhombere, conveyed her best wishes to all the women who participated in the various sporting codes during the event.

"Government always relies on sports to unite the people.

I therefore encourage the police women to continue engaging in sports. We need them to keep their bodies healthy, so that they can continue fighting crime," said Dzhombere.
