I just planted the seeds without adding any manure because I still had no money then. Lucki ly, the field is near the Nzhelele River and I could water my maize plants, drawing water from the river with buckets. Things were starting to look up as I sold my first harvest. I invested the money I got from that to buy different seedlings and manure. I was even able to hire a tractor to prepare the land, and so I was able to plant different crops in my field.”

For more than 20 years, she lived in extreme pain and discomfort as this tumour grew bigger and bigger. Doctors were reluctant to operate on her as they could not see what was inside and, in the meantime, no-one would employ her.

She says that each poem’s message differed, some portraying pain, while others projected happiness.

Reggae music legend Shufflers Ragimana was also devastated by the news of Ali K’s death. He remembers how Ali K contributed to his own music career. “He ventured into the music industry when things were still difficult but, because of his hard work, he persevered until he became successful. Ali K was one of the first local musicians to own a keyboard and he used to come for rehearsals at Nndweleni Mankhili (his nephew)’s house at Makonde village, where I also live, because during that time, there was no electricity yet at his home village of Tshandama. He taught us how to play the keyboard until we became perfect. Here he had the chance to be on vocals and freely demonstrated his impressive dancing moves. The music industry is now poorer without him, but we will always remember his willingness to assist young musicians, and his contributions towards the development of music in our region,” Ragimana

Music lovers woke up to sad news indeed on Sunday, 11 September, following the death of local Tshivenda disco king, Nkeleni Alfred Nethengwe, famously known as Ali K in the music industry.
Gumani Matshisevhe (25) decided to write a book, called Be the driver of your life, after closely observing how prosperous people manage to get through their hardships. “It will not get you anywhere if you always blame someone else for your own life. It all starts with changing your perspective, and positive things will follow,” he said.
Ali K had released six successful disco albums over the years, namely Dance, Bomepome, Ravhuruvhu, Zevhezevhe, Vha dzula dzulo and Vha do farwa lini. His music still enjoys airplay on national and regional radio stations, despite the evolution of music genres.

The chairperson of the SGB, Mr Edward Mugovhani, admitted that the school was dealing with bullying and the use of alcohol and drugs at the school. Regarding the allegations that nothing was being done to combat bullying at school, he merely replied that they “attempted to rebuke them about the bullying and the usage of alcohol and drugs, such as Sergeantdagga”.Vhonani Masia from the Levubu Police Station confirmed the incident. “I can confirm that there was bullying at the school and that cases have been opened and are be ing investigated,” he said.
Parents upset about “bad company” of bullies at Vhafamadi High School
Among these late newsmen, who helped shape the scope of local journalism, are the Limpopo Mirror’s editor, Mr Wikus Lee (1955 – 2020), Univen FM and Vhembe News journalist Livhalani Richard Mmbi (1973 – 2016), the Sowetan and Limpopo Mirror photojournalist Elijar Mushiana (1973 – 2014), Jacaranda FM news reporter Robert Nevhulaudzi (1965 –2010) and Limpopo Mirror correspondent Alpheus Siebane (1953 – 2005). A special plaque, engraved with the names of these five journalists, will be unveiled as a way of honouring their contributions towards the development of journalism in the Vhembe region.
During Monday’s meeting, parents argued that the group of bullies should not be per mitted on the school premises as they disrupt the children’s learning environment. Parents said that when their children reported incidents of bullying, their complaints fell on deaf ears.Pfunzo Mufamadi, one of the victims of the “bad company”, claimed that she was once in timidated by one of the group’s members with a knife. “He first frightened me with an okapi during break time.

“Those guys are fortune seek ers who want to rob artists of their hard-earned cash. As if it is not difficult enough for local artists, without someone going around trying to rob them. This is not the time to create more problems for people, especially when we are faced with so many social challenges, including unemployment,” the artist said.
The Dr Tshenuwani Fari sani Development Founda tion was launched on Sat urday, September 10. The occasion coincided with Dr Farisani’s 75th birthday celebration, which was held at the Lutheran Church of South Africa’s conference centre in Thohoyandou Block F.
According to one of the organisers of the event, Mr Kenny Mathivha, they wanted to celebrate the life of Dr Fari sani and honour him while he was still alive. The birthday celebration was attended by his family, wife and chil dren, relatives, friends, and people from different political parties.Thelist of guests includ ed traditional leaders such as Thovhele Vho-Kennedy Midiyavhathu Tshivhase and Thovhele Gole Musiiwa

Mayor Dowelani Nenguda; Phalaphala FM programme manager Sharon Ravele and manyMathivhamore. said the idea of launching a foundation came after they realised that Dr Farisani, a former provincial MEC and member of parlia ment, was still using his own money to support needy fam ilies and funding educational needs.“We realised that it was im portant to start a foundation that will take over and ease the burden, as he is doing ev erything on his own,” he said.

Tshiovhe said that all teach ers should be trained on how to teach the learners in their classrooms more about climate change. Teachers are also encouraged to initiate environ mental projects at schools, such as planting trees and vegeta
The school principal, Ms Nancy Mapikule, said she was honoured to have the Keep it Cool for Climate Change pro gramme initiated at her school.
A week later, we received a call from the artist in question, who had read the story about himself in the newspaper, asking where we got our infor mation from. It became evident that the man who had claimed to be his manager was nothing of the sort.
Probing the situation, the re porter found more worried art ists who claimed that a certain man (or group of fraudsters) had approached them and told them that he could get them ex posure in the Limpopo Mirror for a fee (which seems to range from R1 500 and up).
From WhatsApp conversa tions made available to this newspaper, one can clearly see how this fraudster tried to convince one artist to pay for publicity in the newspaper, which the artist never got in theTheend.reporter confronted one of these scammers, telling him that what he was doing was wrong as the Limpopo Mirror does not charge any fee for such publicity and warning him that we would report the matter to the police if he continued, for
Beware of these scams, we do not charge for entertainment articles
Dr Bernard Nthambeleni, the vice-rector of the Univer sity of Venda, confirmed that a committee was looking into a proposal that was submitted to honour Dr Farisani with a degree in appreciation of the contribution he made in the fight for freedom in the country.
Limpopo Mirror does not charge artists for newswor thy stories as this is part of the newspaper’s commitment to promoting our local artists.
Two weeks ago, the Limpopo Mirror was contacted by a man who claimed to be the manager of a certain up-and-coming artist from the area, and asked the reporter to do a story on the artist. He provided the reporter with information and the story was published.

Tshiovhe’s department, in collaboration with the Thohoy andou Botanical Garden, under the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), and the Makhado Local Mu nicipality’s parks and cemetery facility, has selected 20 schools in the Vhembe West Circuit to participate in the Keeping It Cool (KIC) Programme, which is directly related to climate
bles.Mr Enos Nemalamangwa, project leader of the KIC programme and an educator at Ndamuleleni Secondary, was very excited about his school’s being among the chosen schools to take part in the programme. He said that they would grab this opportunity with both hands and looked forward to playing their part in helping to cool the climate down.Nemalamangwa said the school already had a vegeta ble garden in which they had planted different kinds of vege tables, such as spinach, cabbage and tomatoes, which also aided their nutritional programme for the learners.
Local artists seem have become the target of unscru pulous conmen, who use this newspaper as a tool to make money.
“Trees can reduce the impact of climate change, produce med icine, and provide shelter and shade. They are also a source of oxygen and help to absorb carbon dioxide. In other words, trees are essential. We must warn communities against chopping down trees,” she said.
He made a public call on people to always watch out for scammers. He also warned scammers to refrain from tricking people and look for jobs
change and raising awareness on the importance of reducing carbon dioxide through plant ing trees and fighting against trees’ being cut down unnec essarily.Sheaddressed the learners and educators of the school on Friday, 10 September, as part of the Arbour Day celebrations.

After beating Rambuda Young Fighters 7-6 at the same grounds last Sunday, whether Mulodi Freedom Birds will have enough strength to push the stubborn Tshimuthe FC out of the pres tigious competition remains to be seen.
Maindis and Vasco da Gama in league clash
The players who gave the Leop ards defence a terrible headache were Rodney Maphangule and Khuda Myeba. Myeba beat the offside trap and ran straight to the opponents´ keeper, Jobe Modou, and sent him the wrong way. The goal prompted more attempts from City, who invaded their op ponents´ goal area on numerous occasions.TheThohoyandou outfit was unfortunate when Tiklas Thutl wa’s shot hit the post with the City keeper, Lindikhuhle Mathebula, well-beaten.
Zwaloni will be lucky if by chance they do not concede more than three goals in the game. Madridtas have been winning everything at stake ever since they were crowned the champions of the Vhembe Super Cup at the Thohoyandou Stadium early last month. Madridtas beat Ma konde Home Defenders 2-0 to book a place in the quarter-final stage. Zwaloni shocked the local soccer fraternity when they beat Phandulaluvalo FC 4-3 last Saturday.Thelast
shootout as the score was 1-1 at the end of regulation time. Freedom Birds will pin their hopes on Rofhiwa Siala and Khuliso Mafanedza for goals.
Leopards lost cohesion in the middle of the park after the goal. Thabang Matuludi scored his team’s second goal and sent the keeper the wrong way after beating the offside trap in the 76th minute.Citygradually took command of the game, in search of another goal. The pressure increased on the Leopards defenders, who con tinuously made mistakes.
Mulodi Freedom Birds came back from a 0-1 deficit to beat Rambuda Young Fighters 7-6 in their Nwali Soc cer Challenge KO Competition game that was played at the Khubvi Benjie’s Grounds on Sunday.
After a break of about two weeks, the teams affiliated to the Hollywoodbets Super League will resume playing this week end. Maindis Ladies are bracing themselves for a tricky hurdle against Vasco da Gama Ladies, whom they will host at the Giyani Stadium on Saturday.
to their striking force, Young Fighters committed a blunder by keeping only two players at the front. Although they managed to create numerous scoring chances in the first half, they could make only one of them count. They took the lead in the 26th minute when Tsim be Thomoli headed home, following a scramble within the box.
Tshimuthe’s way to the quarter-final round went via Thengwe Flying Peace, whom they managed to beat 5-4 at the same venue last Saturday. The winner was determined through a penalty

Leopards created several prom ising moves from behind in the opening minutes, but their strikers let them down by shooting aim lessly. Their overlapping midfield er, Bethuel Muzeu, had his chance in the 10th minute. He received a good pass from Donald Makgetl wa but shot wide from just outside theShortlybox. after this, City’s striker, Puleng Marema, tried his luck from the edge of the box. His vol ley hit the crossbar and bounced out of the field of play for a goal kick.In the 64th minute, City were awarded a goal kick. Rodney Maphangule was on target, follow ing a mix-up within the box, with a header.

match will be between Matangari High Aims and Annel Real Vikings. The champions of the tourna ment will take home a whopping R10 000.
A win for Maindis is likely to push the team from the seventh to the fifth position on the log standings. The Bungeni side had started their league programme on a sad note, but the team’s technical team seem to have found a winning combination of late.
The technical staff of Freedom Birds revealed their wisdom by effecting two changes earlier in the last half. They replaced Ampfarisaho Mugwedi and Rilinde Nemudzivhadi, who paved the way for Phathutshedzo Mudau and Kenneth Mahore respectively.
Asked about their level of readi ness for the game, the head coach of Maindis Ladies, Mr Sipho Mabu za, was quick to mention that the players were in the right frame of mind after collecting the maximum points in their last match. They beat Coal City Wizards 3-2 at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Emalahleni and moved two steps up on the log standings.

Their lethal striker, Rofhiwa Siala, beat the keeper with a neat header after a square pass from Khuliso Mafanedza. The keeper of Young Fighters, Faith Gandamipfa, denied Freedom Birds numerous sure goals towards the end of the game. The winner had to be determined through a penalty shootout as the score was still 1-1 at the end of the regulation time.

Just like Black Leopards, things are not going according to plan in the Baroka camp. The Polokwane side managed to collect only one point in their first two matches. They lost 1-2 to Uthongathi in their opening match before sharing the spoils with Cape Town All Stars, with whom they had played to a goalless draw at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium last Saturday.

The record holder at the Louis Trichardt Parkrun, Livhalani Mudau, slashed anoth er two seconds off his time on Saturday to beat the record he set in 2019. He complet ed the five kilometres in 16 minutes and 16 seconds. Mudau was one of 41 runners and walkers who took part in the 76th Louis Trichardt Parkrun. The warmer weath er not only influenced the times of the participants, but also a bigger turnout. Six newcomers registered for the event and completed their first Parkrun on Saturday. Parkruns are free, individually timed com munity events of 5km open to everyone and run entirely by community volunteers. The event starts at 08:00 during Septem ber, but from 1 October the starting time is 07:00.

Appeal to the Department of Environmental Affairs:
NOTICE OF GRANTED ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORISATION RE PROSPECTING RIGHT APPLICATION – TRALEE 204 MS [PORTION 02], KILRUSH 201 MS [PORTION 01] & PLAATJE 200 MS [REMAINING EXTENT] Notice is hereby given in terms of regulation 4(2) of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations of 2014, the National Environmental Management Act, No. 107 of 1998, as amended (NEMA) and related Regula tions & Listing Notices. DECISION ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORISATION (EA): Barwa Ba Phaladi Mining and Projects CC had applied for Environmental Authorisation in terms of section 24 of the NEMA (Act No. 107 of 1998, as amended) in relation to prospecting activities for Lithium and Graphite minerals
Masutha is optimistic that they will collect the maximum points at the expense of Baroka and restore the team’s lost pride. The combination of Matimu Tshabalala and Noko Malekana in the Leopards’ striking force is expected to give the defence of Baroka headaches, while Kyiaan Bull and Kenneth Nthatheni will have the mammoth task of keeping the team’s danger area clean.
Any appeal must be lodged with the Minister of Environmental Affairs and a courtesy copy of such appeal must be sent to DMRE (Limpopo Region) and the Applicant within 20 days from the date of notification, and such appeal must be lodged as prescribed by Chapter 2 of the National Appeal Regulations of 2014, and by means of the methods as prescribed below:

Black Leopards’ head coach, Mr Joel Masutha, is still battling to find a winning combination. As usual, his team had started the new season on a sad note. Lidoda duvha were beaten 0-1 by Hun gry Lions in their opening league match at the Malamulele Stadium two weeks ago. As if that was not enough to irritate the team’s enthusiastic supporters, the Thohoyandou side were brutally walloped 0-3 by Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium last Saturday.
Baroka had played their third home match in a row on Wednesday afternoon. They hosted Pretoria Callies at the same venue. The result of the match was not yet available at the time of our going to print.
APPEAL: Land owners, lawful occupants, community and any Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs) are given the opportunity to access the decision and the reasons for the decision, and may lodge an appeal against the de cision in terms of the National Appeal Regulations, if such appeal is available in the circumstances of the decision.

for an ugly tackle on Puleng Marema. Their 1-0 victory over City Rovers was not a true reflection of the game. The Thohoyandou side had enjoyed more ball possession throughout the game. The visitors from Potchefstroom had their only chance in the 15th minute when their left winger, Trevor Lamola, went loose from what was arguably an offside position and shot wide from close range. Their centre back, Richard Mofokeng, was the first player to go into the referee’s book. He tackled Banele Gama from behind in the 26th minute and the referee, Mr Moses Kheswa, was quick to flash yellow.
Matloga said that their preparations for the new season were at an advanced stage. The team have played a number of friendly games over the past weeks as part of their preparations for the new season. The rehearsal matches they had played include their 1-0 victory over Tshivhazwaulu Peace Makers at the Ramukhuba Grounds. They again played to a 1-1 draw with Kalahari FC at the same venue the following day.
