Setback for Makhado municipality in PAIA court case

By Anton van Zyl The Makhado Municipality’s efforts to avoid disclosing information about dodgy property transactions suffered a setback in the Limpopo High Court on Friday morning when their appeal against an earlier judgement was struck off the roll.

The municipality had appealed against a mag­ istrate’s court ruling ordering it to disclose all documentation relating to the transactions.

The Makhado Magistrate’s Court made the ruling in September 2020 in the matter of Zout­ net CC vs the Makhado Municipality. Zoutnet CC is the publisher of the Limpopo Mirror and Zoutpansberger newspapers.

Magistrate Vanessa Grundlingh ordered the municipality to grant the publishing company access to records that had been requested in terms of a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) application.

The first PAIA application was sent to the mu­ nicipality almost a year earlier, in October 2019.

The documents requested relate to the sale of a public park in Louis Trichardt, Limpopo.

The park was divided into two sites, which were offered for sale by public tender. The ten­ ders were, however, not awarded to the highest

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “In wie julle, namate julle ook geglo het, verseël is met die Heilige Gees van die belofte.” Efesiërs 1:13.

D

ie lesers van die brief het hierdie beeld van Paulus onmiddellik verstaan, wanneer Hy so verduidelik dat hulle met die Heilige Gees verseël is. Dit was ‘n teken van eiendomsreg. Die Gees getuig saam met ons dat ons kinders van God is (Romeine 8:16) en gee sekerheid van ons saligheid. Toe die verlore seun van die vreemde land teruggekeer het, het die vader ‘n ring aan sy vinger gesit om sy terugkoms te verseël.

Het jy reeds sekerheid in jou hart, hierdie stempel van eienaarskap op jou afgedruk?

Dit is die werk van die Heilige Gees, Hy sê vir jou: “Ek het jou by jou naam geroep; jy is Myne!” (Jesaja 43:1).

Wanneer ‘n stempel op was afgedruk word, moet die was eers sag word, sodat die indruk daarop blywend kan wees. Harde en koue was kan nie gebruik word nie. God moet ook ons hart sag maak, voor Hy ons verseël. Die Heilige Gees soek harte wat gebroke is, waarvan die hardheid en koudheid verwyder is (Esegiël 11:19), sodat Hy die beeld van Christus al dieper op ons kan afdruk.

Niemand sal ons uit sy hand ruk nie (Johannes 10:29), want deur die Gees is ons “verseël tot die dag van verlossing” (Efesiër.

4:30). Skep dan moed en gaan dapper voort, kind van God, omdat jy weet dat jy geglo het, en verseël is met die Heilige Gees van die belofte.

- Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

bidders. One section of the property was, in fact, sold to the lowest bidder. The other section was sold to a bidder who offered R450 000 less than the highest bidder.

The municipality would have been paid R850 000 more for the two erven, had it accept­ ed the highest bids.

At the time, the municipality refused to make specific information about the transaction avail­ able to the media.

Requesting information to find out who the successful bidders were, took weeks. But even then, the correct names of the companies were not supplied. The municipality also refused to give any reasons as to why the highest bids had not been accepted.

PAIA (not) to the rescue The initial PAIA application served on the municipality was completely ignored, despite the law stating that such applications must be responded to within 30 days. Because the lack of a response is construed as a refusal, an appeal was filed in December 2019. This appeal against the deemed refusal was also ignored by the municipality.

Papers were served on the municipality in March 2020, indicating that the court would be asked to rule on the matter. This was also ignored by the municipality.

The case then made its way to the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court, where the date for hearing was set as 12 April 2020. This was unopposed by the municipality and a default judgement was expected.

However, in April that year, the country went into hard lockdown and all cases were post­ poned.

When the matter was put on the roll again, the municipality suddenly woke up and decided to oppose the application in court. It argued, among other things, that the applicant had never provided reasons why the information was sought and that to adhere to such requests would be a waste of officials’ valuable time. The municipality further argued that the successful bidders should have been notified of the applica­ tion and should have consented to the informa­ tion’s being made available.

In her ruling in September 2020, magistrate Grundlingh brushed aside the municipality’s arguments and pointed out that a person who

requests information from a public body, such as the municipality, does not need to prove that any right is sought or that any right needs to be protected. The municipality is obliged to make the information available, within the ambits of the PAIA. The municipality was ordered to make the in­ formation available within 15 days and pay costs.

More delays But rather than comply, the municipality filed a notice of appeal a week later against the judge­ ment. In its notice of appeal, the municipality argued that the first applicant (Zoutnet CC) had no locus standi, because the owner of the busi­ ness had not indicated on the PAIA form that he was representing a publishing company.

The municipality still argued that the success­ ful bidders should have been contacted for their consent. They also reckoned that the applica­ tion to obtain the information was a waste of taxpayers’ money, because “(t)he applicants are looking for a ‘topical story’ for the sole purpose of boosting their newspaper sales, which is not the purpose of PAIA”.

The matter then dragged on for several more months, with the municipality’s legal representa­ tives seemingly in no hurry to push for a hearing.

In January 2021, the municipality’s lawyers, Wisani Baloyi Incorporated, withdrew as attor­ neys of record. In a letter attached to this notice, it transpires that the law firm and the munici­ pality could not agree on an increase in the fees charged for work done. On 29 January 2021, Dabishi Nthambeleni Inc were appointed as new attorneys of record.

Even after the appointment of a new legal team, the matter dragged on for more than a year, with not much happening. After a lot of pressure was applied by the newspaper’s legal team, a High Court date for a hearing was set for 10 June 2022.

respectfully declined this rather bizarre offer.

The case then hit another snag. When judges Frans Kgomo and Thogomelani Tshidada en­ tered, they pointed out that the documentation was not in order. The responsibility resides with the party who brings the matter to court (in this case the municipality) to file, index and paginate the documents properly.

Judge Kgomo described this as a complete mess and chaotic. He and judge Tshidada crit­ icised Adv Nthambeleni for the sloppiness and said that this was in contravention of the court rules. Because of this chaotic situation, the case was to be struck from the roll.

Adv Nthambeleni blamed the situation on the correspondent he used in Thohoyandou, PBN Mawila Attorneys.

The judges explained that the matter was now back to the stage where the magistrate’s court had made a ruling. This ruling is enforceable, and should the municipality still feel that it is not just, they must file a new appeal and restart the process. This time, however, judge Kgomo said the process could be fast-tracked.

The municipality was also ordered to pay costs on a party-to-party scale.

Enters a friend of the court

Because of the importance of the case, the South African National Editor’s Forum (SANEF) and Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) became involved and asked to be allowed as amicus curiae (friends of the court). In the founding affi­ davit, SANEF and MMA describe themselves as “non-profit organisations dedicated to ensuring that the rights to freedom of expression, access to information and a strong, independent press are realised in South Africa”.

In its submission, SANEF and the MMA stress the importance of transparency in gov­ ernment institutions. “The appeal before this Court deals with a particular PAIA request made Let’s settle to a particular Municipality. But the result of this appeal has far wider significance. As the (but the secrets remain) respondents have already stated in their heads of argument: the Human Rights Commission has Just before the appeal hearing could com­ published a report which found that munici­ mence on Friday morning, the advocate for palities fail to comply with PAIA more than any Makhado Municipality, Adv Mukhethwa Ntham­beleni, tried to negotiate a settlement.

Because the case was struck from the roll, remain confidential, and that details are not published. Zoutnet’s attorney, Dr Suwil Rudolph, SANEF and MMA’s application to be allowed as amicus curiae was not entertained.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 17 JUNIE 2022

Roshini crowned as queen of influential women in Durban Deur Pétria de Vaal Roshini Pakkiree from Louis Trichardt brought home a crown once again after being chosen as the queen during the “Influential Women and Artes Awards 2022” in Durban on Saturday, 11 June.

Both Roshini and her husband, Mark, went on stage to accept the award for their involvement with the youth-development project that Big M Productions runs. Readers will recall that the Pakkirees founded the “Sanjit Train of Hope Foundation” in memory of their beloved son, Sanjit Pakkiree, who sadly passed away at the age of 16. This foundation brings hope to the hopeless by bringing financial relief to children in need.

“Pinky Mothie of Big M Productions was the one who nominated us as a power couple for the Influential Women and Artes Awards. This

was due to us being the key sponsor for the youth development and for the uplifting of other women. On stage, they also gave us a tribute to our son. There were many other women as well who contributed to their own projects – they had their own development going. Mark and I were both involved in this. I was recognised as being the “chief ” of involvement and the sponsor of the event,” Roshini says.

Mark said: “Once again my wife has done us proud: Influential Queen of the Year. Sanjit Train of Hope still running strong nationally.

Thank you, Pinky Mothie and Big M Produc­ tions, for this recognition.”

The people of Louis Trichardt will remember that Roshini was crowned as “Mrs Shakti Beats Stunning Goddess” earlier this year. Shakti Beats wrote on Facebook: “We as the Shakti Beats Family is ecstatic and very proud of you both, having been chosen and acknowledged for your

hard work and dedication, which has made a substantial difference in our communities. The Legacy of Sanjit Pakkiree lives on through both of you.”

Roshini continued by mentioning that, since they had started the Sanjit Train of Hope Foun­ dation, their initiative had opened many doors.

“Our angel is still blessing and protecting us. I feel honoured to be on the cover of the magazine of influential women. Thank you, Pinky Mothie, for these blessings and especially for including my baby boy in this magazine,” Roshini says.

In the meantime, Mark was also nominated and recognised by Carl Wilson of the USA as one of 20 outstanding men in 2022 by means of the LMA Awards – addressing the extraordinary achievements and life-changing stories of worldclass entrepreneurs and leaders.

The Pakkirees are doing our community proud!

Zoutpansberger Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het die stof nog lank nie gaan lê rondom die aanstel­ ling van ‘n nuwe stadstesourier vir Louis Trichardt nie en het die destydse Inwo­ nersvereniging beoog om die saak na ‘n hoër hof toe te neem.

Op die voorblad van 13 Junie 1997 word berig van ‘n loodsvergadering wat gehou is om ‘n mandaat te kry om hof toe te gaan. ‘n Loodskomitee is gestig om aksies verder te koördineer. Die aksies het gevolg nadat die ANC-beheerde Stadsraad mnr. Dan Masengani in die pos van stadstesourier aangestel het op grond van regstellende aksie, ten koste van kandidate wat veel beter gekwalifiseerd was. Dieselfde week is ook berig van mnr. Patrick Sikhutshi wat vir ‘n tweede termyn ingehuldig is as burgemeester van die destydse Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad.

In ander voorbladnuus is berig van drie mans wat die voorafgaande week in motorongelukke op die streek se paaie dood is. Twee jagters van Pretoria, mnre. Fanie Ludick (43) en André van Rensburg (37), het gesterf nadat hulle bakkie omtrent 25 km suid van Musina omgeslaan het. ‘n Derde insittende, mnr. Nico Louw (38), ook van Pretoria, het geringe beserings opgedoen.

Ook daardie week het ‘n

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 17 JUNIE 2022

Moenie vergeet om daardie wenfoto’s in te stuur nie Fotokompetisie Die streek se fotograwe het nog so twee weke kans om hulle wenfoto’s vir die maand van Junie vir die Zoutpansberger se maandelikse kalenderfoto-kompetisie in te skryf.

Fotograwe sal tot en met die laaste week van elke maand hê om hulle foto’s vir daardie maand in te skryf en ‘n wenfoto sal vir elk van die 12 maande gekies word. ‘n Maksimum van vyf foto’s per fotograaf per maand kan ingestuur word. Oudergewoon­ te soek ons na daardie spesiale foto wat die uniekheid van die Soutpansberg-streek uitbeeld, van unieke landmerke en besienswaardighede tot die natuurlewe. Die foto moet egter binne die afgelope 24 maande geneem gewees het en moet die fotograaf se eie werk wees. ‘n Prys van R600 sal vir elke maand se wen­ foto betaal word. Elke maand se wenfoto sal in die laaste week van die maand gepubliseer word.

Deur die maand sal van die beter inskrywings wat ontvang is ook gepubliseer word. Wat beoor­

5

deling betref, sal gekyk word na tegniese aspekte soos beligting, skerpheid en komposisie.

Slegs hoë-resolusie digitale foto’s (verkieslik landskap-formaat) sal aanvaar word. Die foto’s kan in hoë resolusie per e-pos gestuur word (een-vir-een indien dit groot foto’s is), of op CD of geheuestokkie ingehandig word by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger te Joubertstraat 16B in Louis Trichardt. Elke inskrywing moet vergesel wees van die fotograaf se naam, kontak­ besonderhede, waar die foto geneem is en met watter kamera dit geneem is.

Die 12 wenfoto’s sal aan die einde van die jaar in ‘n groot-formaat muurkalender vir 2023 saamgevat word. Die kalender sal dan onder meer deur die Zoutpansberger gebruik word vir bemarkingsdoeleindes. Vir meer inligting oor die Fotograaf Marc James van Louis Trichardt het hierdie foto geneem op die Bluegumspoort-pad kompetisie, skakel Andries by tel. 082 603 2419 op die plaas van Gavin Johnson. Hy het sy Canon 650D kamera gebruik met 24mm lens. Sy lensopening was F8 met ‘n sluiterspoed van 1/6 van ‘n sekonde en filmspoed van 100 ISO. of 015 516 4997 (tydens kantoorure). Hoë-res­ olusie foto’s kan ook aan hom gestuur word per e-pos na news@ zoutnet.co.za.

Hierdie Bosveld-sonsondergang is afgeneem deur Wouter Veldman van Musina met sy Pentax K-S2 kamera met 10-17 mm Pentax lens.

Sy lensopening was F4 met ‘n sluiterspoed van 1/13 van ‘n sekonde en filmspoed van 100 ISO.

Mei-maand se wenners Pietman Muller van Levubu het besluit om sy inskrywing vir Junie tot selfoonfoto’s te beperk. “Die idee is basies om kompeterend te probeer wees ten spyte van ‘n tegnologiese beperking. Moderne selfone is tegnologies ongelooflik gevorderd, maar kan hulle kers vashou by gespesialiseerde, doelgemaakte fotografiese tegnologie?” het Pietman gesê. Hy het hierdie foto noord van Babalala in die Nasionale Kruger Wildtuin geneem op 21 Mei vanjaar met sy Samsung Galaxy Note 10.

17 July Sunday

Battle of Delville Wood commemorated July 2022 marks the 106th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, one of the bloodiest battles in human history.

Between 1 July and 18 November 1916, more than one million men were wounded or killed on the banks of the river Somme in France. Among the soldiers killed and injured were more than 2 400 South Africans who fought for control over a small piece of land in the northeast of France, called Delville Wood.

This Sunday, 17 July, at 11:00, a special service will be held at the Moths’ Turbi Hills Shellhole to commemorate Delville Wood and to pay tribute to the South African soldiers who lost their lives during his war.

Alhoewel die hoof wedren, die 175 km uitdaging, die groot name van die voorwêreld telkens gelok het, het die plaaslike ryers in die 70 km- en 35 km-wedrenne uitgeblink. Een van hulle was Eliz-Mari Pretorius wat ‘n eerste plek losgery het in die vroue-afdeling van die 70 km-wedren. Sy was ook die eerste Elite-vrou tuis en vierde algeheel onder die mans en vroue.

The Louis Trichardt Parkrun is back in full swing, and residents are welcome to take part in the 5km run/walk on Saturday mornings. During the winter season, the run starts at 08:00, still at the park next to the information centre along the N1.

Louis Trichardt’s 63rd Parkrun on Sat­ urday was attended by a smaller number of Parkrunners than usual, due mainly to the large number of events happening in town on the same day. The group of enthusiasts included two visitors from Gauteng, namely Rob Millerd and John Horrocks.

Rob Millerd is a Parkrun fanatic, and he completed his 289th Parkrun on Saturday.

What makes this even more impressive is that he has done this at 199 different Parkrun venues. He spent some time in Japan and 24 of his Parkruns were completed there. Whilst in Japan, he helped establish the first Parkrun in Japan at Futakotamagawa, Tokyo.

Rob was in Louis Trichardt on business and decided to stay for the Parkrun. Both he and John’s home venue is the Delta Parkrun in Randburg, Gauteng.

John Horrocks visited Louis Trichardt to support his wife, who was riding the Kreme­ tart cycle race. On Saturday, he completed his 216th Parkrun at his 70th different venue.

Rob finished first on Saturday, with John coming in fifth.

Parkruns are free community events, for walkers, runners and volunteers and are held weekly at 194 venues in South Africa with more than 2 000 venues in 23 countries worldwide. As Saturday’s visitors have shown, Parkruns can be an excellent way to connect with different communities wherever you find may yourself.

Isability golf day was truly inspirational

Die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub se eerstespan het Saterdag, 11 Junie, teen Letaba se eerstes uitgedraf. Die spelers van beide Letaba en Louis Trichardt het die toeskouers getrakteer op ‘n interessante stryd. Tog was Louis Trichardt sterker en het vir Letaba kafgedraf en ‘n eindtelling van 61-6 op die telbord geplaas. Afgeneem is Louis Trichardt se Matodzi Rapholo op die aanval. Foto: Karla van Zyl.

The Isability golf day at Soutpansberg Golf Club on 11 June was keenly supported by local golfers as well as one or two from further afield.

Fanti Holtzhausen, a golfer on vacation from Pretoria, was impressed with the beautiful course and friendly reception she received.

Inspirational, to say the least, was the participa­ tion of 91­year­old Denise Fourie, who flew up from the Cape to participate. With a comfortable swing, Fourie completed the 18 holes of golf in the morning chill ­ an encouragement to all that we can be healthy and active even when we are over 90! Denise won the prize for the furthest “drive” (flight from the Cape) – 1 582 km! Later in the day, prizes were handed out by Gavin “Magic” Johnson, ex­Springbok rugby player and Louis Trichardt resident.

The winners of the tournament were the Tim­ bercity 4­ball consisting of Zagrys Nortjé, André Schoeman (a single­leg amputee), Craig Lee and Eben Moller with 95 points on a count out. Also with 95 points, in second place, was the SACM team consisting of George Mahlauli, Richard Machumela, Khangale Malange and Dumisani Nzimande. In third place with 91 points was the 4­ball NewCo Meat team, consisting of Johan Pretorius, Beukes Haasbroek, Wikus Botes and Francois Jonker.

The event was also attended by some of the Jumping Kids and Icexpress prosthetic limb beneficiaries based in Limpopo, namely Jorrie Jordaan, Corrie Dercksen and Vhutuhawe Nemutandani (junior Limpopo ambassador for Jumping Kids). Alwyn from “Die Boer Roer” and Elmarie Buys from Isability served guests with mouth­watering potjiekos, and steaming hot custard made over the braai coals was generous­ ly heaped over delicious desserts kindly made by volunteers to round off the evening dinner.
