Negligence?

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho The parents of a 19-month-old baby are still aggrieved after baby Mulalo Prince Mulaudzi died after nurses at the Khakhu clinic refused to help him last Thursday.

Mr Mashudu Mulaudzi, the child’s

father, has decided to take the matter to the health department. “My wife and I work in Gauteng, and when news about my baby’s death reached us, I knew it was my death,” he said. “The MEC of health must visit Khakhu clinic and warn the staff about negligence or else many people are still going to die.

that the clinic is open 24 hours per day.”

Mashadu had last seen his son only a week before, when he brought him some food, clothes and a teddy bear. “I was selecting some CDs to play on my DVD player and Mulalo was scratching some of them on the floor, like children normally do,” he remembered the last

moments with his son. “Now I had to receive a call from home informing me about my son’s death!”

The child’s guardian and grandmother, Vho-Reginah Mulaudzi, rushed Mulalo to the local clinic after she noticed that he had a high fever and was vomiting. She said that she had arrived at

the clinic at around 14:00 on 5 October.

One of the nurses on duty told her that there were only three nurses and that they were helping a woman in labour, she added.

“She could see with her own eyes that my grandson was in much pain,” said Vho-Reginah. - Continues on p2

Tragic death of baby Mulalo From page 1 “What hurt me most was the fact that the nurse who spoke with me was doing nothing herself.” She maintained that she had to go back home with her unattended grandson, after three painful hours of waiting for nothing. “I was told to come back the next morning,” she wept.

Vho-Reginah had to stay awake all night long, staring at baby Mulalo, who was retching painfully.

The following morning at 07:30, she went to the clinic and was forced to join a long queue. “They said that they would only start seeing patients at 08:00,” she explained. “Then I lost it and shouted at them that the child needed immediate medical attention.”

The nurses then took the baby from her and went into the consulting room. “They finally put some drips on him, and then they could see that it was not a joke, that Mulalo was sick,” she said.

When the nurses informed her at around 09:00 that Mulalo had died, Vho-Reginah fainted. “I didn’t

know how I would face my son and tell him that his child had died,” she said.

Mulalo’s mother, Mumsy, said that the clinic’s attitude towards patients and their laziness had caused her son’s death.

“I am without words about this whole issue,” she added.

The spokesperson of the Department of Health’s, Ms Adele van der Linde, said that the department would launch a full investigation into the matter to establish what had led to the incident. “If we find negligence to be a factor, we will not hesitate to act as a department,” Van der Linde said. “Our people deserve the best health care possible.”

She then requested all patients who receive bad service at hospitals, clinics and EMS to make use of the MEC’s Hotline number (0800 91 91 91) to direct their complaints or requests. The number currently operates during office hours (7:30 to 16:30).

Kuruleni funeral stopped as family demands lobola The Tshishonga family of Kuruleni shocked hundreds of mourners last Saturday when they stopped the funeral proceedings of their daughter, demanding that her husband pay the R20 000 he owes them for lobola.

The deceased, Thilivhali Francinah Mukwevho (31), was married to Victor Mukwevho (38) in the so-called “Vat-andsit” style and the couple stayed at Mpheni for 12 years.

They had two children together before “All I want is to be able to bury my wife,” says Victor Mukwevho.

God called Francinah two weeks ago.

Francinah’s body was held at the mortuary for more than two weeks as negotiations between the two families dragged on. This weekend, hundreds of mourners watched as the two families continued their fight in public. The woman’s family took Francinah’s lifeless body back to the mortuary.

The stranded husband said he was shocked by the manner in which the Tshi­ shonga family had acted.

He said his wife’s family had been at his house since her death on October 4 and they had never said anything.

Early on Saturday morning, the Tshishonga family closed the gate at the cemetery.

“They told me that they wanted to talk to me before the burial proceedings started. They said I must pay R20 000 for lobola before burying her and R10 000

should be paid on the spot.

I told them I didn’t have the money there, because I spent R70 000 preparing for the funeral. I asked them to go to the police station to formalise a written agreement of payment, but they refused,” said Mukwevho.

“We agreed at the Levubu Police station that I must give them the death certificate and identity document of the late Francinah. I wanted to give my wife a dignified funeral. The funeral was stopped and we had to throw away all the food that was prepared,” said Mukwevho.

Francinah’s aunt, Nyawasedza Mudau, said Mukwevho never bothered to pay lobola when he took Francinah 12 years ago.

She said Mukwevho was threatening them with phone calls. “He is accusing us of stealing his wife’s body and dragged us to the Levubu police station. You can’t just stay with someone’s daughter for so many years without paying lobola. It is immoral and this should serve as a lesson to young men of today who prefer the ‘Vat-and-Sit’ style,” she said.

Mudau insisted that Mukwevho should first pay the amount requested. “He refused to give us the death certificate of our daughter, because he wanted to claim money from an insurance policy. We begged him to pay lobola and he didn’t give us an ear,” she said.

Learners receive education while sitting on the floor of the classroom.

Crime

Woman raped at Madombidzha On Monday, a 28-year-old suspect appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court in connection with a charge of rape, which allegedly happened in Madombidzha village.

The suspect allegedly took the 22-year-old woman into a car in the vicinity of Thandas Tavern at Ha-Ravele and drove with her to Madombidzha.

He allegedly raped her inside a residential house on arrival at around

23:20. According to the spokesperson for the Tshilwavhusiku police, Const Munyadziwa Marindi, the complainant reported the matter to the police, who acted promptly and arrested the suspect.

The case was postponed to 28 November for further investigations.

“It is very unfortunate that this case is happening barely two days after the station and other stakeholders had had a crime awareness campaign at Madombidzha village,” said Marindi.

I llegal strike by VDM workers reason for water shortages fairs (DWA) transferred more than 1000 workers to the VDM in 2009.

They demand salary parity between DWA-transferred staff and workers in the municipality. “It is important to note that the department has facilitated the transfer of the workers by giving adequate support to the municipality and subsidizing the entire operation for a period of three years, following the transfer. The subsidies included salaries, operation and maintenance of the water schemes and refurbishment,” states the DWA in an unsigned media release dated 15 October. The DWA further states that, in their opinion, the support they gave and continue to give to the municipality was sufficient to facilitate the settlement of all outstanding staff-related matters, including the issue of salary parity.

The VDM’s spokesperson, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, said that the strike started on 1 October and that the VDM management, DWA and Nehawu’s representatives were engaging in dialogue. “They met formally on Monday and most of them have returned to work today. We hope the situation will return to normal,” Ralushai said on Tuesday and added that the strike was not violent, but “very effective”. That is due to the fact that they had turned the water off in most areas, an action condemned by the DWA, who wished “to make it clear that the deliberate shut-off of water to communities by protesting workers is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.” The DWA did not expand on the action they would take if workers continued to shut down water deliberately. Meanwhile, Min-

ister Edna Molewa will establish a high-level task team to find a speedy resolution to the matter.

“The workers returned to vital areas like the pump station at the Albasini Dam. The water shortage in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) was not so much due to the strike as to the new pump at the Albasini plant that broke on 3 October and had to be fixed. The two small standby pumps were straining to deliver enough water. On top of the strike, only three out of the 14 old boreholes (west of town) are working and the four new ones are idle at the moment,” said AfriForum chairperson Mr Wally Schultz.

“Well, one week it is the pump, the

next week a strike and who knows what the excuse will be next week,” said Mr Gert van der Westhuizen, owner of Madi Gra Water in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Although he sells drinking water in his shop, Van der Westhuizen ironically has to deliver water for other purposes to his business premises about every single day. “I am used to the fact that I do not have municipal water and I have bought a bakkie with a tank on it and have organized to have water delivered to my premises daily. At first I phoned often to find out why there is no water, but that only serves to shorten my life. Now I accept that water supply cannot take place,” he said.

Hepworths

The fragile water supply situation in the region is balanced on a knife’s edge.

The current water crisis, caused by an illegal strike by Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) workers, affected the whole of the Vhembe district. Though the workers from the water department had resumed work on Tuesday, it is rumoured that there would be yet another mass meeting to discuss issues.

Water supply to the villages of Vondo, Nandoni, Xikundu, Nzhelele and Mutale, among others, was hardest hit. Water tankers were reported to queue at the Nandonidam. At the University of Venda, students, lecturers and staff all suffered and the university had to bring in portable toilets.

Drinking water had to be purchased for the residences, the cafeteria and the staff. “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the latest water crisis,” wrote Dr Jannie Zaaiman, Univen’s deputy vice-chancellor (operations), in an email dated 14 October. He added that VDM’s municipal manager, Mr Masala Makumule, had informed him that morning that they had started pumping water into the reservoir.

Some residents of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) reported water supply interruptions over the last two weeks.

An aged resident, Ms Elma van Niekerk, said that her sister from Australia was visiting South Africa and she had to tell her sister that she could not come and visit because she could not expect her visitors to carry water to the toilets and not take a bath.

But why the strike?

Still no progress in “hand” case More investigation still needs to be done in Makhado (Louis Trichardt)’s widely controversial “Hand” case.

The 36-year-old Rumbidzai Manyere’s remains have still not been released to her family since her brutal murder in April this year. This is because the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) director of public prosecutions has ordered the police to go back to Zimbabwe for further investigations.

Manyere hails from Zimbabwe and had, according to her family, only been living in South Africa for three months at the time of her death.

The 38-year-old Freddy Azwitamisi Tshikhudo, who has been accused of her murder, was arrested on 5 April at Elti Café in Eltivillas, when he allegedly tried to rob the business by using a severed human arm. The following day, he led the Makhado police to the place where the murdered Manyere’s body was found. Manyere’s right arm, both eyes and her private parts had been removed. Her body itself was in an advanced state of decomposition.

During his previous court appearance in August,

several pending cases against Tshikhudo were centralized to the Makhado Magistrate’s Court.

This means that he will eventually stand trial on two counts of rape and single counts of murder, housebreaking and robbery.

Tshikhudo appeared in court again last Friday.

His case was postponed until 17 January of next year to afford the police time to finish the list of new instructions that the NPA gave them.

Tshikhudo will remain in custody until then, since he was denied bail.

More people arrested in ongoing chaos in Malamulele area The ongoing chaos in Malamulele is far from over. This follows after more demands by residents of the area for the establishment of their own municipality.

This week, the situation was escalating direly, with almost 20 000 residents burning tyres along the roads which lead to Thohoyandou and Giyani. The looting of shops and government departments has caused chaos in the town. This has led to public transport groups’ not entering the area for business.

The town was at a standstill from Monday until the time of our going to press. Residents went on the rampage after a meeting that took place in Polokwane on Monday.

A group of rampaging young people allegedly threw stones at the police who were trying to disperse them and continued to loot shops on Tuesday.

Government buildings in the town were set alight on Tuesday and the schools and shops were closed. Lim-

popo Mirror has learnt that someone was killed by a mob during the rampage after it was established that he had stolen R4 000 from a local spaza shop.

The provincial police spokesman, Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, confirmed the chaos in the town and stated that the police had taken control, following the violence that erupted on Tuesday morning.

“The police managed to bring the situation under control. More than 40 suspects have been arrested and more arrests are imminent. Police presence in the area has also been intensified to monitor and defeat any violence that might erupt. The roads leading to the town have been opened, but motorists are warned to drive with caution,” said Mulaudzi.

On Monday, Premier Stanley Mathabatha met with the chairperson of the municipal demarcation board, Mr Mahlangu, to try and resolve the on-going battle for municipal status by the Malamulele community. The

meeting was attended by the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mr Ishmael Kgetjepe, the MEC for Safety and Security, Ms Joyce Mashamba, and delegates from the Malamulele Task Team.

According to the statement issued by the premier’s spokesperson, Mr Kenny Mathivha, the task team and demarcation board had urged the Malamulele people to stop the chaos. “A call was made by both the ANC and the Limpopo Provincial Task Team (LPTT) that Malamulele’s people’s tempers must calm down as a political solution is being negotiated with the help of the premier,” says Mathivha.

The meeting established that most documents which the task team had submitted to the demarcation board were either lost or did not reach the intended destination before the cutoff date of 2012. The spokesperson for the Malamulele demarcation task team, Dr Isaiah Ndhambi, could not be reached for comment by the time of going to press.

Meanwhile, Limpopo Provincial Commissioner Lt-Gen Fannie Masemola has condemned the violence and has sent a stern warning for people not to take the law into their own hands.

“When community members have complaints, they must not resort to any violent means and the destroying of property. We will not hesitate to take action to bring the perpetrators to book,” said Masemola.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) also condemned the situation at Malamulele. In a statement, the provincial leader of the party, Mr Jacques Smalle, says Premier Mathabatha’s “utterances do not help solve the problem, but quell the already irate community to disrespect the law of the country”.

He states that the root cause of the protests “is the failure of the ANC-led municipality to deliver basic services to the people”. He urges the premier to show leadership and to address the root concerns of the residents.

A 42-year-old teacher died on Wednesday, 2 October, after the vehicle she was driving collided head-on with a Volkswagen Jetta.

The gruesome accident happened early in the morning on the Tshikombani road. Ms Tshilizi Joyce Netshiluwani was a teacher at Shura Combined School. According to the school principal, Mr Doctor Ravele, pupils and teachers are filled with grief after the accident. He said the situation at school was tense and pupils and teachers were all traumatised throughout the day that the accident happened. He added that Netshiluwani had held various positions at the school and she helped to uplift the standard of education, specifically early childhood learning. “She was the language coordinator, helping pupils to acquire language skills,” he said. She was buried at the Mandala Cemetery last Saturday and is survived by her three children and her husband.

Church builds house for family A father, his wife and seven children were overjoyed when their church handed the key to their three-room house to them on Sunday at Maniini in Thohoyandou.

Members of the Eden Baptist Church in Muledane Block J noticed the heartbreaking living conditions of one of their new members, Shumani Mulumbela (50) and his family, and decided to build him a house. “We know that God is love. And when we give to those who do not have, we are only demonstrating that kind of love,” said the church’s pastor, Nonani Shivambu. The family was sharing a large one-room shack, and the church agreed that every member should contribute some money or building material, so that the Mulumbelas could get a house. Eden Baptist Church is a small church, so it took members almost three months to finish the house. “However small our church may seem to be, if we agree on doing something positive, we stick to it until we have achieved it,” Shivambu said.

“It was frustrating and painful sharing a shack with children. I came to the church a naked man and

hungry, but you clothed and fed me,” Mulumbela said. Mulumbela’s wife, Mavis, said that their home was a battlefield before her family could join the church. “My husband was an alcoholic and he assaulted me each time he was drunk – but I also fought back sometimes, which was not good for our children,” she gave testimony.

“The pastor arranged for a psychologist to counsel us, and things have changed for the better in our home.”

Mulumbela, Mavis and their children are now full members of the Eden Baptist Church. “I now trust in God because He rescued me from a reckless life of alcoholism and healed my family spiritually,” said Mulumbela. Ward 21’s Cllr Maria Ramanala acknowledged the church’s efforts of not only building a house for the indigent family but also for bringing all misunderstandings and fighting to an end. “Thulamela is spoilt with many cases of domestic violence, and in some cases spouses end up killing each other,” she said. “This church did a very good job in healing the Mulumbelas’ troubles. I strongly believe that other churches will start walking in your footsteps.”

Jailed for raping ill woman A 26-year-old Beit Bridge man, who had raped a critically ill woman, has been sentenced to an effective

10 years in jail.

Athizwiyangwi Ndou of Mapani village outside Beit Bridge had pleaded not guilty but was found guilty and convicted by Regional Magistrate Mr Joseph Mabeza.

It was testified that on 28 June this year, at about 19:00, Ndou approached the critically ill 34-yearold-woman who was resting in the company of two men at the side of the road The other two men proceeded with their journey, leaving Ndou with the victim. Ndou proposed sex to the woman, but she did not respond as she was critically ill and could not talk. He then pushed her to the ground and raped her. After raping her, Ndou fled the scene, leaving the woman on the ground.

The complainant had to spend the cold night there since, after the incident, she could not walk.

She was found unconscious by a passerby the following morning. She was taken to hospital for treatment but at that time failed to tell what had happened.

It was only on 19 September that she managed to narrate what had happened, leading to Ndou’s arrest.

Mr Joseph Tseisi.

For nearly 20 years, Mr Joseph Tseisi has been trying to correct his ID number and name in his green identity document.

His trouble started in 1994 when he applied for a new South African identity document. Before 1994, he used his identity document of the then Republic of Venda.

Tseisi could not believe it when his ID document came back with his brother’s name printed in it. As soon as he realised that the information on his ID was incorrect, he re-applied, but his efforts proved in vain. “I tried to solve the problem by submitting an affidavit that I am Joseph, but the name in the ID keeps coming back as Samuel,” he said.

“The Dzanani-, Sibasa- and Makhado offices of the Department of Home Affairs offices know me, but they are doing nothing about my problem. I don’t have a bank account, due to the fact that my ID is not valid. I am self-employed but have not been able to vote since 1994, because of the error in my ID book,” he said.

Chief Tshinakaho Netshiendeulu once wrote a letter to Home Affairs, confirming that Joseph Tseisi is the person in residence and that he needs an ID book, but that did not help either.

The manager of the Department of Home Affairs for the Vhembe district, Mr George Maluleke, said that he was investigating the matter. The provincial manager of Limpopo, Ms Florah Motsitsi, said they had already submitted Tseisi’s problems to the relevant section and a new ID would be processed.

Musina’s Operation Trolley a success

Avoid these

pitfAlls during retirement How to stay financially comfortable at Retirement many articles have been written about being financially prepared for retirement but very few articles talk about what you need to do to stay financially comfortable.

It is more difficult to deal with financial challenges when you are retired than when you are young. So take these steps now to stay financially secure and look out for the following risks:

Wilfred Moyo, Investment & Economic Strategist at Metropolitan

Inflation risk is a reality and happens when your pension doesn’t keep up with inflation, e.g. in 2005 R20 could buy you three bags of rice, but now it’ll only buy you one bag.

this leads us to the longevity risk – living long and possibly running out of income. the savings we have when we retire may not be enough to support us in our golden years, especially with medical technology that lets us live longer.

do not adhere to the municipal bylaws will be subjected to the strongest legal disciplinary action. “We are aware that there are countless illegal activities taking place here in our town. We will not hesitate to take any legal action against the perpetrators.

Despite the warning signs that we have erected, some people are continuing to conduct their businesses in prohibited areas.

As a responsible municipality governed by the legislation of the country, we will make sure that those who break the law are punished. We know the poverty levels of our people and high unemployment rate, but the law is there to regulate the smooth running of our town. The safety of our people is our priority,” he said.

He said that despite the shortage of law-enforcement officers, the municipality was doing its

best to make sure that there was law and order in Musina. “Due to cross-border trading, our town is growing very fast and we need to pull up our socks to make sure that we do not scare shoppers, investors and tourists. The government has also declared us as one of the growth points of Limpopo and, due to the massive economic developments and mining, we will become a city in the next few years. So, it is very important to enforce law and order before it is too late.”

He said people who would like to conduct business in town, whether small or commercial, should contact the planning unit of the municipality. “There are guidelines to be followed and if people have the necessary approval, nobody will bother them.

I appeal to everyone to work hand in hand with us to make Musina a better place to stay.”

Instead of mourning the passing away of their beloved granny, the Nephalama family of Vyeboom village in the Vuwani area was celebrating on Sunday morning. Mrs Tshinondiwa Mafeladengwa Mulaudzi Nephalama was one of the oldest inhabitants of the Vhembe region.

At the age of 105, she succumbed to a short illness at her Vyeboom home in the early hours of last Wednesday morning. She was buried at Vyeboom village on Sunday. Family members who shared the podium during the funeral service described her as an icon, a source of knowledge and a unifying factor in the family. They all stressed the fact that they had no reason to mourn her death, saying she had lived her life to the full and that she deserved to rest. Granny Nephalama is survived by two children, Mr Daniel Nephalama and Mrs Johanna Nephalama, 21 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. In the photo, two of her surviving children, Mr Daniel Nephalama (second from right) and Mrs Johanna Nephalama (third from right), pose with some of the close family members next to the gogo’s tombstone.

In a swift move to clean up the town, the Musina Traffic Unit conducted Operation Trolley last week.

Chief Traffic Officer Daniel Nembambula said the operation was aimed at confiscating illegal trolleys that make traffic flow and human movement difficult in the border town. The dynamic traffic boss said some of the traders pushed loaded trolleys in the roads of the CBD and that disturbed the smooth running of traffic and movement of people walking on foot.

“People are allowed to use the trolleys on the pavements, not in the roads. Without taking their goods, we confiscate the trolleys, mark them and tell them to come and collect them at our traffic unit after paying a fee. This is one of the ways to regulate free movement in our growing town.”

He added that offenders who

another risk that gets overlooked is consumption risk – consuming more than what your financial plan can support. Schedule an annual review of your investments and stay in touch with your financial affairs. then there’s investment risk – the risk of making the wrong investment decisions. there isn’t much time to fix any wrong investment choices after you’ve retired so get a qualified financial adviser to help you.

No nonsence approach towards illegal cigarettes The Limpopo province is looking for a solution to clamp down on the trade in illegal cigarettes.

This was the mission of an anti-illicit trade summit that was held in Polokwane a fortnight ago. “If we don’t do something fast enough, we stand to regret [it] sooner rather than later,” said the Limpopo premier, Stanley Mathabatha, during the opening of the summit. The summit was also attened by the Tobacco Institute of Southern Africa (Tisa),

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) and the University of Limpopo.

The Hawks hosted the summit in order to prioritise the investigation of cigarette smuggling.

Mathabatha identified Limpopo’s borders with Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique as the critical strategic buffers when it came to the illicit trading and smuggling. According to provincial police spokesperson Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, the premier was

referring to Health Minister Arron Motsoaledi’s signing of an anti-smuggling protocol which aimed to eliminate tobacco syndicates and to track and trace such products from their manufacturers to their destinations.

Mathabatha said more than 50% of all illegal cigarettes were smuggled into South Africa from Zimbabwe. “There is a serious need of working together with the various law-enforcement agencies of those countries. The same way in which we are waging war against rhino poaching, we should do with cigarette smuggling,” he said. He also added that the the government was committed to offering their support to stop this illicit trade.

Tisa echoed the premier’s statements. Tisa said that, according to the National Council Against Smoking, there would be fewer cheap products for children and adults to smoke if smuggling were curbed.

Mulaudzi said that the summit was the culmination of the on-going collaboration between the tobacco industry and law-enforcement agencies to curb the scourge of illicit cigarettes that flood the South African market.

As the effect of the illicit trade of cigarettes was discussed during the two-day long summit, it concluded with Gen Molatjana, Deputy Provincial Commissioner DPCI: Limpopo and National DPCI Cigarette Champion, accepting and taking ownership of implementing the outcomes with the backing of all who were involved in developing the strategy into workable plans.

The quest for morality

Fan the passion of love in marriage The verse quoted in the previous chapter, Song of Songs 1:2, 4, describes the poetry about passion in a marriage and thereby points out to us that God created marriage to be a loving, passionate and, indeed, very fulfilling relationship.

Those of you who have tested a passion fruit drink in a restaurant will know that the combination and colour of the final product is as passionate as the process of sipping it. When you lose the passion spark in your marriage, you slide very fast in terms of growing cold in your approach, to a point that you might find yourself chasing after other men or women.

It creates an environment where cheating finds fertile ground. Avoid divorce in your marriage by fanning the passion of love in your marriage.

The task to fan the passion of love in your marriage is not an easy task.

You need to develop a spiritual discipline and learn new tricks, thereby beating the old adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. When you put efforts into gathering the necessary data, assessing and, in the process, learning what can work in your marriage, you have started a journey to revive your marriage and take it to another level.

When we talk about passion in this article, we are informed by the need to be romantic and retain the feeling of being attracted to each other always.

If you outgrow this stage, you then start to relate to your spouse like your very own blood sister or brother and you completely lose interest in sexual matters.

You only then engage in sex with her or him as a way of realising yourself. Passion brings back that “we” feeling - “we are in love” and

those who look at you can really see that there is chemistry between the two of you.

The intensity of love brought by the spark of passion in your marriage makes it possible for you to miss each other to a point that you do not want to be separated at all. If one goes to work and the other remains at home, or even in the case where you are both at work, a day will not go by without dropping an sms or telephoning the other and declaring your love. You will not shy away from expressing love words and make efforts to charm your spouse with those delightful and pleasing words as reflected in the book of Song of Songs, for instance 4:9-10 and 5:18-19.

This will maintain a very healthy relationship and, in the process, avoid those small foxes that trick you into becoming a cheater or one who is always seeking a way out. It will also bring some sparks of romance into your aging marriage and indeed bring that beautiful taste like an aging wine.

How do we achieve this? Apart from the love language that you need to use, exchange of gifts, taking each other out for lunch or dinner at a restaurant, changing your sexual encounter patterns and so on, you need to start respecting, being kind and patient, understanding, not being rude and not looking after your own interests. And indeed, do not be easily angered with the other but, instead, love, cherish and look for the positives from the other.

Start caring, and all these will fan the flames of love and bring back the spark of passion into your marriage.

In this way you will keep each other happy at all times. - Prof Derrick Mashau, Unisa

DA accuses government of dumping important equipment The Limpopo government is accused of dumping medical equipment while patients in the province go without basic facilities like beds, incubators and wheelchairs.

During an inspection at the Polokwane provincial hospital last month, the DA’s Jacques Smalle said he was shocked to discover piles of medical equipment such as wheelchairs, beds, incubators, trolleys and photocopy machines being dumped behind the hospital. He said the department was failing to find an agency that could fix the broken equipment. Smalle further said most of the hospitals in the deep rural areas of Limpopo did not have enough beds. “We want to see firstclass hospitals and service delivery in the province,” he said.

Smalle added that the dumped equipment appeared to have only minor defects and in some cases appeared to be in perfectly good shape.

“We have reason to believe that the medical equipment has been lying there for more than a year without it

being repaired.

The DA wants an urgent meeting with Health MEC Dipuo Letsatsi Duba to explain why the Limpopo government is dumping medical equipment instead of repairing it,” Smalle said.

Smalle said the DA would be conducting a widespread investigation into the destruction of medical equipment in Limpopo in the coming days.

“The DA has already organized with businesspeople to pay for the fixing of broken equipment,” he said.

In reaction, Ms Adele van der Linde, the provincial spokesperson for the Department of Health in Limpopo, said: “What the DA observed at the provincial hospital grounds, is the assets unit where equipment from all over the Limpopo Province is being sent for repairs. It is not a dumping site as no waste is being deposited there. Most of the equipment is indeed repairable and that is the very reason why it is taken there and not disposed of.”

The newly appointed area commissioner of the Thohoyandou Management Centre, Mr Richard Malebane, has urged ex-offenders to use the skills they acquired while in prison to help create jobs for them and other unemployed community members.

Eight ex-offenders, who are now on parole from the Thohoyandou Correctional Centre, received equipment for welding, sewing, car washing and carpentry to start up new lives, doing jobs that they were trained for while in prison. “We want ex-offenders to be self-sufficient and create jobs for themselves and others through the skills they acquired. We call upon the traditional leaders to give the ex-offenders the land to use for agricultural and self-sustaining projects in their communities,” said Malebane.

He was speaking at Lehae la batho (the place of people) Halfway House in Ha-Mutsha village last Thursday during an event to help ex-offenders start up something which can bring food to the table. “We understand that the traditional leaders are the custodians of restoration of a moral life, and we hope ex-offenders can work well with traditional leaders. We will also monitor the equipment we are donating to ex-offenders to find out if it is being used properly,” added Malebane.

The equipment handed over to the ex-offenders was donated by the Life After Prison Community Forum, Nedbank Thohoyandou, Mulase Business

Connection and the Department of Correctional Services in Thohoyandou.

Chief Thinawanga Randima, one of the traditional leaders in the Vhembe region, said he fully supported the idea of the department of changing the lives of ex-offenders for the better, so that they may able

to create jobs for themselves.

“We want to unite the ex-offenders with their families and communities. We find that some ex-offenders are rejected by their families and communities as soon as they are released from prison, and they might commit other crimes if not kept busy,” he added.

Area Commissioner Richard Malebane hands over the carpentry machine to one of the ex-offenders, Mr Nelson Mafadza (far right), while Chief Thinawanga Randima (centre) looks on.

“Life in prison is unbearable” - ex-convict “Life in prison is unbearable and now I can only advise the youth to concentrate on their studies and never get themselves into criminal activities.”

Ex-convict and parolee Eric Budeli (40), who spent nearly 13 years in jail for murder, said these words during his official welcome as a volunteer at the Munna ndi nnyi (Who is the real man) centre at Lwamondo last Thursday.

Munna ndi nnyi is an NGO which counsels victims of crimes, teach children about their rights and challenges men to become real men by not abusing their wives and children and starting to act responsibly.

Budeli’s duties at the centre will include, among others, welcoming visitors and facilitating

programmes. “I thank Munna ndi nnyi for accepting me back into the community,” said Budeli.

Budeli was arrested and sentenced to 27 years after he lost his temper and killed his ex-partner’s lover. “I regret everything that I did. I know I acted out of anger,” he said sofly. “Anger is not good; as people we must learn how to control our emotions – most particularly anger.”

Of the 13 years that he spent in jail, he used nine years to educate himself and also to help educate the inmates around him.

He enrolled with a university and obtained a three-year diploma in development studies and a degree in human and social studies. “I was a facilitator for psychological programmes and ABET classes for nine years,”

he said. “I accepted that what I did was wrong and I needed to correct my way of living.”

Although he holds a diploma and university degree, Budeli hasn’t secured employment yet.

“If given the chance to demonstrate my skills and knowledge, I can do exactly that to the satisfaction of my employers,” he said.

Munna ndi nnyi’s Bardwell Mufunwaini said that the organisation was happy to welcome Budeli and that they were looking forward to witnessing his contribution to the centre. “Budeli has volunteered to work with us as a man who has learned his lesson,” Mufunwaini said. “We also believe that he is the right person to work with, as we are an organisation which tackles the burning issue of ‘the real man’.”

The Vhembe community welcomed Mr Richard Malebane as the newly appointed area commissioner for the Thohoyandou Area Management of the Department of Correctional Services during a ceremony held recently at the New Life after Prison´s halfway house in Tsianda. Malebane is flanked by Ms Rofhiwa Ragimana and Elisa Mbengeni.He was appointed with effect from 1 September.

Needy pupils to benefit from bursary scheme

Girls from Luvhivhini Secondary School pose for a photo during their matric dance at La Ndou Guest House on Friday.

Needy students who are struggling to raise funds for their tertiary studies will benefit from the bursary scheme of Vhembe District Municipality.

According to Mr Matodzi Ralushai, communications manager of Vhembe, R3 million has been set aside to assist impoverished pupils coming from disadvantaged families. “We allocated these funds in response to the needs of the community we serve. We have established this bursary fund in order to assist learners who passed Grade 12 and qualify to further their studies at tertiary institutes.”

Ralushai says the bursary scheme is handled by the executive mayor’s office and it caters for tuition fees, books and accommodation. To qualify for a bursary, pupils must be residents of Vhembe District Municipality and must show a consistently good performance, while their parents are unemployed or classified as indigent. Pupils must be in Grade 12 during the current financial year or have passed Grade 12. The bursary covers the fields of study focusing on engineering , auditing, financial accounting, economics, business management, tourism, agricul-

ture and mining.

Ralushai says application forms are available from the executive mayor’s office until 30 November. Application forms must be accompanied by a certified copy of Grade 12 results or tertiary academic record, an affidavit which shows indigence, proof of residence, a certified copy of ID or birth certificate, a letter of reference from the school principal (for Grade 12) or a certificate of good conduct from a tertiary institution.

Children of councillors and municipal officials are not eligible to apply for this bursary fund.

Crime

Phaswana murder case postponed

Luvhivhini Secondary School held a matric dance at La Ndou Guest House on a breezy Friday afternoon.The attendants enjoyed every moment.

Livhuwani Priscilla Phaswana appeared in the Dzanani Magistrate’s Court on Monday in connection with a murder case.

Phaswana’s case was postponed to 6 November, for the director of public prosecution to decide whether she should be tried in the High Court.

Phaswana allegedly set her husband and stepdaughter alight on 24 March, at Tshirolwe Extension 2. It is alleged that she and her late husband argued about the strange SMS which Phaswana had noticed

on his phone. She allegedly went outside the house. When she returned with a bottle of petrol, she found both father and daughter fast asleep. She then allegedly poured out the contents of the bottle inside the house and the petrol caught the candle flame, which instantly caused an inferno.

Mr Josias Thivheli (48) and Rofhiwa (16) sustained critical burns in the raging fire and eventually died in hospital.

Church and headman at loggerheads

Two border copper thieves sent to jail

The pastor of the Disciples Family Church in Ha-Mashau is accusing Vha-Musanda Mashau of allegedly allocating a part of the church's stand to other people without consulting the church.

Pastor David Mutsharini said the church was allocated a stand in 2009 and they had to pay an initial fee of R5 000. According to him, he was aware of the R2 500 balance that was still payable. "Some people pay only R700 and are allocated a stand, but they did not even consult with me before they acted," he said.

The four-hectare stand has now caused a lot of animosity between the pastor and the traditional authority of Ha-Mashau.

Two Beit Bridge men have each been sentenced to an effective 21 years in jail for stealing copper cables to the value of US$10 000, which they intended to smuggle to South Africa. The cables belonged to Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (Zesa).

Gilbert Moyo (43) and Asifa Sibanda both of Makakavhule village outside Beit Bridge pleaded not guilty to copper theft but were convicted by Magistrate Innocent Bepura on Friday.

It was testified that on 7 July at

“They initially allocated one person a space in our area, but we didn’t say anything. Now it’s the third person and no one has told me why they were doing that,” Mutsharini said.

Vha-Musanda Thavha Ronald Mashau insisted that the pastor did not follow the right procedure, hence they cut off part of his church’s stand. He said that his traditional council was not fighting him.

“We are asking him to follow the right procedure. He is just claiming a huge portion of the stand and he is doing nothing about it,” he said.

Vha-Musanda Mashau said the church had been there for three years, but the pastor had not settled his debt to get the title

deed of that place. “He still has to pay the balance. He is threatening us with a court order. We cannot just allocate huge areas of our soil to somebody who is not even doing anything about it,” he added.

Mr Dan Mashau, who is from the office involved in the allocation of stands in the area, said they had agreed in the community that they would not allocate huge spaces to any individual.

“He did not finish paying, but we gave him time because it is a church, hoping that he would finish,” he said. He added that there were no developments on the church's stand. “It is just a shack, and the church building has been not completed since they started in 2009,” he said.

about 20:00, Moyo and Sibanda drove to Mapai village, about 15km out of the border town, in their car. On arrival, they cut 80kg of copper cables, to the value of US$1 000. The court was told that the two men then concealed the loot in the tyre of a haulage truck and drove back to their home, where they hid the loot in a bedroom.

On 18 July, the two went to Matshiloni village, about 40km out of the border town along the Beit Bridge-Masvingo road.

They cut electricity poles, using

cutters and axes, which resulted in a power blackout in the entire border town.

Zesa, however, teamed up with police and conducted joint investigations which led to the arrest of Moyo and Sibanda and the subsequent recovery of 350kg of stolen cables, valued at US$7 000.

They were arrested while in the process of loading the loot into their car.

Two axes, a hacksaw, a pair of pliers and cutting disc were also found at the scene.

Hat trick for Malindi against United Malindi Ravhutsi kept the unbeaten record of his team, Madodonga United, intact by scoring a hat trick when they walloped Vleifontein United 3-1 in their Safa Vhembe MMK Insurance match. It was played at Madodonga

on Saturday.

The defeat of the youthful Vleifontein was a fair result, when one takes into account the fact that they spent the whole match running for cover.

The absence of many players in the Vleifontein team was felt from the onset.

Surprise Raulinga and Vhonani Rambau could not make the grade as the opponents used them as their freeway.

The only player who was cautioned with a card in the first half was Raymond Mashau of Vleifontein. He tackled Given Netshithuthuni roughly.

Ravhutsi beat the opponent’s keeper, Tsumbedzo Mudau, with a close ground cutter in the 27th minute to score the only goal James Ndimande of Vleifontein (left) tries to hook. Mulie Masipa is of the first half. In the second half, the visiready to attack the ball. tors replaced Vhunani Levhusha and Surprise Raulinga with Cassius Ravhutsi and James Ndimande respectively.

Madodonga put matters beyond doubt when Ravhutsi forced his way through the defence of the opponents and unleashed from close range.

The consolation goal of the Vleifontein lads was scored by Raymond Mashau, after he finished off a square pass from Naledzani Makhudzha.

Ravhutsi completed his hat trick when he James Ndimande of Vleifontein (left) controls the ball, while Mulie beat three defenders in a row and scored easily.

New courts for Mphaphuli Secondary Mphaphuli Secondary School has increased its efforts to inspire its pupils to develop a keen interest in diverse sports.

The R180 000 professional court project, which was made possible by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, is set to inspire the pupils to participate in netball and volleyball.

Speaking at the handover ceremony at the school in Makwarela on Monday, the secretary of the

17

school governing body (SGB), Mr Trinity Tshivhula, said the project would help not only pupils but also members of the community. “This project will benefit everyone, not only our pupils,” he said.

The principal, Mr Lufuno Mulaudzi, thanked the National Lottery, Thulamela Local Municipality and Vhembe District Municipality for involvement in the project. He said that the

court project would inspire even the pupils who were still going to study there.

Mr Avhatakali Themeli, the sports co-ordinator at Vhembe District Municipality, said the court was meant to benefit the pupils and members of the community. “The municipality will organise the games to be played at the court during the official opening, which will be hosted soon,” he said.

Big dreams for referee Lufuno Mufamadi When the 27-year-old Lufuno Mufamadi had to decide on a career, she did not opt for the traditional jobs associated with women. Instead, this energetic young lady decided she wanted to be a soccer referee.

Lufuno was born at Tshivhulani village in the Vuwani area and her love for soccer started at a very early age. “I started dreaming about soccer when I was only 11 years old,” explained Lufuno.

She said that she started playing football when she was 13 years old, when she joined the Shayandima Morning Stars ladies team. She later played in the Sasol women’s league with the likes of former Banyana Banyana striker Disebo Mametja and Noko Motlou.

“When I hung up my soccer boots in 2011, I was motivated by a fellow Vhembe lady, Lufuno Nemagovhani,” she said. Nemagovhani was a female referee and encouraged the young player to become involved in soccer refereeing. She said that the Limpopo province succeeded in producing stars like the late Lesley Manyathela and the local teams consistently performed well in the top leagues, but the province was yet to produce a top female referee.

At the moment, Lufuno’s aim is to officiate in the National Second Division league (better known as the Vodacom league) and use it as a stepping stone

to greater heights as she believes in appointments on merit and ability. “People should judge me on my performance and not on my gender,” she said.

Hard-earned victory for Chippas Ladies

Soccer lesson for Mukula Avalon Not only did Mukula Young Santos deposit the maximum league points into their league account at the expense of Mukula Avalon, they also collected four goals and conceded none at the Mukula Tshidza-tsha-Maria grounds on Saturday.

Avalon managed to contain the hosts for the better part of the first half, but their original fighting spirit faded with time.

Mulisa Sikhege of Avalon was the first player to go into the referee’s book. He tackled Vhahangwele Tshifhango from behind and the referee

was lenient enough to let him go with yellow.

Young Santos stamped their authority when the game was 24 minutes old. Sharlen Munyamela gave the ball a final touch, following a scramble within the box.

Avalon’s veteran midfielder, Tshifhiwa “OneOne” Nedzamba, did not live up to the fans’ expectations as he was tightly marked. Realizing that Nedzamba was just making up the numbers of their midfielders, the team’s technical staff replaced him with Shadrack Vhengani early in the last half.

Santos increased the margin in the 58th minute.

The left-footed Nndateni Netshitadi forced his way through the defence of Avalon before unleashing a volley. The keeper of Avalon watched helplessly as the ball hit the back of the net.

Eric Makhuvha of Avalon was booked for a late tackle on Joshua Netshilindi in the 68th minute.

Freedom Makhuvha scored the fourth for Young Santos four minutes later. Sharlen Munyamela of Santos handled the ball within his own penalty area and that was a clear penalty.

In their Safa Sasol Women’s League match at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday, Chippas Ladies came back from a half-time 0-1 deficit to beat the stubborn Botlokwa Ladies 3-2.

Chippas were lucky not to concede an avalanche of goals during the first half. The visitors

displayed entertaining football, with Chippas running for cover.

Botlokwa threatened to score in the 14th minute. Sophie Masupa watched in disbelief as her volley hit the crossbar and bounced outside the field of play for a goal kick.

Things turned against the

home side in the 27th minute.

Jomo Malowa caught the Chippas keeper, Nyiko Mafanela, napping and beat her with a long-range ground cutter. Chippas gained momentum towards the end of the first half. Kholani Mukhuwana dribbled past three defenders in a row and shot wide from close range.

It took Chippas 56 minutes to open their account. Kholani Mukhuwana forced her way through the defence of Botlokwa and dished a square pass to Gudani Nephalama, who was in a perfect scoring position. Nephalama headed home after the keeper of Botlokwa mishandled the ball.

Maite Tloukimang of Botlokwa was reprimanded with a card for a late tackle on Salome Nndwa in the 59th minute. Botlokwa were awarded a free kick in the 35-meter area seven minutes thereafter.

Maite Tloukimang of Botlokwa controls the ball, while Thabelo Magoro Mashalane Makwena of Chippas is attacking from behind. scored from the set piece with a volley.

The Botlokwa Ladies fought the last 20 minutes with their hands tied behind their backs.

Their midfielder, Maite Tloukimang, was given her marching orders, following a second bookable offence. Chippas capitalised by scoring the equaliser. Mokgadi Senyolo blasted in a rocket after a rebound.

Holani Mukhuwana scored the third for Chippas six minutes before the final whistle.

Kholani Mukhuwana beat the keeper with a half volley.

Maite Tloukimang of Botlokwa kicks the ball, while Thabelo Magoro of Chippas (right) blocks the way.

The vulnerable, orphaned and needy children at the Tondalushaka Home-based care centre in Madombidzha received gifts and money when Unarine Boutique in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) threw a fundraising bash and fashion parade to benefit the centre.

The well-attended event was held at Alry Guest House in Munnik Street in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on Saturday.

The guests included, among others, local small-business people, PhalaPhala FM’s Jones Netshipise and Mpho Nefale. Nefale and Netshipise acted as MCs for the day. “It’s an uplifting thing to see the needy being fed, clothed and supported, so that they can stand on their own,” said Nefale.

Tondalushaka’s director, Ms Nyambeni Nemaungani, thanked all the people who had contributed in one way or the other and indicated that the centre had been going through tough times financially.

“This is because the number of children who need to be part of the centre keeps growing, and we cannot send them away because the poor children need help,” Nemaungani pointed out.

Gideon Nare, one of 173 Tondalushaka beneficiaries, recited a short poem on how his involvement with the centre had impacted on his life. “We do not just go to Tondalushaka to eat, but we learn a lot and the poem which I am rendering now is only a proof that things are happening at Tondalushaka,” he said.

Unarine Boutique’s CEO, Ms Olivia Mukwevho, said that they had decided to adopt the home-based care some years ago, even before she started operating formally as a boutique. “I always give whenever I can, and it’s not that I have plenty of money,” she

Letter from the Press Council of South Africa

Press Council “committed to highest standards” (The following letter is a reply from the director of the Press Council of South Africa, Mr Joe Thlohloe and is a response to the open letter published last week in which readers are advised not to make use of the press ombudsman’s office until such time as the lack of integrity of the process had been addressed.)

It is understandable that Mr Anton van Zyl, owner and editor of the Zoutpansberger and the Limpopo Mirror, got very angry when a newspaper in the Media24 stable, Sondag, published allegations against his wife and vicariously against him.

He chose to complain to the Press Council of South Africa rather than go to the courts, something that we in this office encourage, to save readers from unnecessary expenses in litigation in the courts and to facilitate speedy resolutions.

What should have been a run-of-the-mill complaint has now been muddied, to the point where Mr van Zyl’s two publications are now calling on their readers to boycott the Press Council and its processes.

In the nearly 1 800-word editorial carried by the two newspapers, Mr van Zyl alleges that this office is bullied by Media24 and pressurised “into not protecting the integrity of the Press Code”. To use his words: “…the Press Council looked the other way and allowed their biggest partner to urinate on the Press Code.”

These allegations are patently untrue – one simply has to go into our website www. presscouncil.org.za to find the scores of rulings this office has delivered against Media24 publications. One merely has to read the rulings to see how this office values journalistic ethics and high standards in the print industry. Mr van Zyl knows this very well, but his anger has clouded his judgment.

We are proud that we are independent of the industry that funds our operations. Our constitution is very firm: “The constituent associations explicitly guarantee the independence of the PCSA (Press Council of SA), so that it can act without fear or favour in the interests of a free and ethical press…”

Mr van Zyl has conjured up the stories of the problems in the British and Australian regulatory systems to bolster his argument, but these are

irrelevant to this particular complaint.

To focus our minds, here is the correct chronology of events related to the complaint: May 26: Sondag published article Doom Se Doring.

May 27: Mr van Zyl submitted complaint to the Press Council - i.e. to the Public Advocate in the council - about it.

May 29: The complaint was forwarded to Sondag.

June 4: Mr van Zyl, in his capacity as editor of the Zoutpansberger, emailed questions to the editor of Sondag, Mr Peet Bothma, for an article he was writing about the Sondag story he had already complained about to the Press Council. (This is an incorrect assumption - see response below for clarity) June 5: Bothma wrote back to van Zyl refusing to answer the questions. On the same day, Sondag asked the Public Advocate for an extension of time to be allowed to respond to the complaint by the week of June 10, and that was granted.

Van Zyl’s lawyers sent a letter to Sondag demanding that the story be removed from the newspaper’s website, failing which they would approach the courts for an interdict against Sondag.

The newspaper removed the article. (Also not correct – but of lesser importance in this debate) June 7: Zoutpansberger published an article Sondige Sondag running on its front page and page 2. A photograph of the article that was the subject of this complaint accompanied the Zoutpansberger article.

Peet Bothma wrote to the Ombudsman and said Sondag had instructed its lawyers to take further steps because the complainant had decided to debate its issues publicly by publishing the article.

Sondag’s lawyers sent a letter of demand to the Zoutpansberger, van Zyl and Mrs Adri van Zyl demanding that the Zoutpansberger retract the article and apologise unconditionally for it.

Sondag responded to the Public Advocate on the complaint, arguing that “this matter has escalated … beyond the jurisdiction of the Press Ombudsman as envisaged by the Press Code.”

June 10: President of the Association of Independent Publishers Mahmood San-

glay wrote to the Press Council conveying Mr van Zyl’s concerns and his belief that Media24 was intimidating him by resorting to the use of lawyers on this complaint.

June 13: The Zoutpansberger lawyers responded to Sondag’s lawyers saying that Mrs van Zyl had no connection to the Zoutpansberger other than that her husband owned it: “she…has no input as far as the editorial content is concerned.”

The lawyers concluded: “Any application or action instituted by your client will vehemently be opposed.”

June 27: Public Advocate set aside her acceptance of the complaint.

Press Ombudsman endorsed the setting aside of the acceptance of the complaint.

July 1: Adri van Zyl lodged an application for leave to appeal, arguing: “The initial complaint was compiled by my husband, for the simple reason that he is more used to writing and he knows the procedures much better than I do. He also did it from a first person perspective, because he believes it is the duty of a husband to fight on behalf of his wife …”

September 10: The Chair of Appeals, retired Gauteng Judge President Bernard Ngoepe, dismissed the application for leave to appeal, ruling: “We cannot substitute one complainant for the other at this stage.”

This chronology, particular the material in bold, gives a broad and fuller look at the events that led to van Zyl writing his editorial.

This broader look reveals a number of facts that van Zyl’s readers should take into account before accepting his proposal not to use the Press Council: 1. Mr van Zyl, by his own admission and by his wife’s account, knows the rules – after all he was party to writing them.

2. He knows that the Press Council’s “independent co-regulatory system” relies on the good faith of the complainant and the publication to resolve their dispute through using the system. Once we believe that one of the parties intends going to court, we withdraw our attempt to mediate and allow the parties to resolve the matter at another forum they prefer.

3. Mr van Zyl ignored that and tried to slug it out with Sondag through the Zout-

pansberger’s editorial pages.

He sent questions related to this complaint to the editor of Sondag and proceeded to publish the article Sondige Sondag.

He had thus chosen another forum to fight his battle.

4. Only when the inappropriateness of this strategy was pointed out to him did he attempt to distance the editorial content of the Zoutpansberger from his wife.

His lawyers say that Mrs van Zyl has no connection to the Zoutpansberger other than that her husband owns it and “she…has no input as far as the editorial content is concerned”.

5. In Mrs van Zyl’s application for leave to appeal she says: “The initial complaint was compiled by my husband, for the simple reason that he is more used to writing and he knows the procedures much better than I do.

He also did it from a first person perspective, because he believes it is the duty of a husband to fight on behalf of his wife…”

6. When it suits them, the van Zyls are inseparable and when it doesn’t they want to be seen as separate entities.

7. They leave the Press Council in a position similar to that of a peacemaker in a pub brawl, whose attempts to separate the opponents are thwarted by the sneaky blows thrown around him.

8. The first letter of demand sent by lawyers was from Mr van Zyl. True, he did withdraw it when he was advised by the Public Advocate. But when the Sondag lawyers sent him a letter of demand and his lawyers said they would defend any action, the matter jumped out of the Press Council to another forum.

9. The Press Council then correctly decided on its own that its processes had been sullied. It is untrue that the Press Council was bullied by Sondag or Media 24 and it is simply unfortunate that the Press Council was not able to get into the merits of the complaint.

The van Zyls are now free to apply to a court of law for a review of our decisions or they may take their complaint to another forum whose rules they respect.

Having said all that, it is encouraging that Mr van Zyl has not withdrawn his publications from the Press Council system – such a withdrawal would have meant pulling out of the Association of Independent Publishers and losing the benefits of membership of the association. He, however, urges his readers to complain directly

to him if they have anything against his newspapers, and if they are dissatisfied with the solutions he offers, they may go to the Press Council. He says his publications will abide by the rulings of the Council.

This is yet another example of Mr van Zyl wanting to have his cake and eating it. He is, in fact, saying nothing new: we always encourage unhappy readers to first send their complaints to the editor of a publication and then come to the Press Council when they don’t find satisfaction at that level.

Truth is that the Press Council remains committed to the highest standards of excellence in print journalism.

- Joe Thlohloe Director: Press Council of South Africa Dear Mr Thlohloe.

I again want to state - as was done in the open letter - that this fight is not “against” the regulatory process. It is also not about a lack of respect for the people working at the Press Council, in fact, they deserve admiration and praise for what they are trying to do. It is about a system that has flaws and these flaws are exploited by media players who act in their own interest and not the interest of truth and freedom of expression.

The sad part is that you have now fallen into the trap that Media 24 has set for you; you started playing the man instead of focussing on what had real­ ly happened. In Media 24’s submission to Judge Ngoepe the distinction between my role as member of society and my role as newspaper owner was deliberately muddled. That is also why they probably never pointed out that the person who handled the correspondence with the editor of Sondag, was not me, but Andries van Zyl, news editor of the Zoutpansberger.

Much of this case concerns the responsibilities of the press.

The press has the responsibility to honour the Press Code, which means that basic human rights such as the right to dignity should be respected. The press has the responsibility to reflect news in a true and fair manner. The press also has the duty to act as watchdogs of the community to expose corruption and lies.

The Press Council, of all institutions, should understand the responsibilities of a newspaper’s editorial team.

As is reflected in your reply, the Press Council “blames”

the Zoutpansberger for writing about the lies depicted in Sondag’s article. (“ …tried to slug it out with Sondag through the Zoutpansberger’s editorial pages”). What would the Press Council expect the Zoutpansberger to do? Just be quiet about it and let it slide?

The decision to expose Sondag’s lies was an editorial decision. That takes nothing away from my personal involvement. The Press Council expects newspaper editors to take full responsibility for everything published, irrespective of whether they wrote the story or not. This mere expectation implies that the newspaper is seen (and very rightfully so) as a separate entity comprising reporters and editors. Is it not a bit too convenient to now separate the entity and argue that, because the newspaper carried a story that conveyed another perspective, the individuals have no separate rights?

Do you for one moment think this act of standing up against someone like Media 24 is easy for an individual or a small publisher? This “cake” that you talk about is not something that I would offer to you or any other friend. It would have been much easier to do what most people do, namely to just ignore it all and move on.

In your reply you never commented on the real issues, namely that: · Complainants are immediately exposed to the big media groups’ lawyers. · The big media groups do not use the regulatory system, but instead opt for the courts.

(As you yourself alluded to in point 8) · The actions of the bigger media players by abusing human rights impact negatively on the smaller publishers. · The current system of co-regulation offers little protection of freedom of speech for small publishers.

As to your comment that we still refer readers to the Press Council – that is a bit of selective reading. We respect the choice of our readers, meaning that should they decide to opt for that route we will abide by it.

Finally – as a matter of interest – we did notify the AIP in advance that we are very possibly transgressing the association’s Articles and that they should consider action against us.

Card troubles continue at Safa Vhembe

Sports equipment for Tshifhatane Primary

It is now like a never-ending merry-go-round of troubles at Safa Vhembe MMK league.

After their initial complaints of not receiving their registration cards, the affected teams are bitter again with the mother body.

Teams are now complaining that the registration cards issued have multiple errors on them.

The cards of some of the players were not available and some of the key players have been omitted from the registration cards.

The pupils of Tshifhatane Primary School in Tshidimbini are actively participating in different sporting codes and, according to the principal, Mr Tshimandadzo Mammburu, they are encouraging them to participate in sports.

The AMH Retail Car Group of Polokwane donated soccer kits to the school.

According to Mammburu, the school is taking various sporting codes seriously because even professional players started playing soccer while

As a result, they feel hard done by and some of the teams said their losses were because of the administrative chaos at Safa Vhembe.

The management of the teams complained that they had made several trips to the Thohoyandou office to try and correct the errors.

They said that they were using funds they had never budgeted for “and when asked for compensation from the mother body, it was like expecting a rain forest in

the middle of the desert.”

When contacted for comment, the president of Safa Vhembe, Mr George Kubayi, was happy that, although still not perfect, things were starting to shape up. Kubayi told the journalist to inform the teams to call him.

About the cards, he said, his office was working all out to rectify those mistakes.

He promised that his team would work even after hours ensure a smooth flow of the season ahead.

they were still in school. He said the school had also recently completed constructing tennis and volley ball courts after they had received funds from the National Lottery Board.

When handing over the kits donated by the AMH group, the general sales manager, Pastor Nkhelebeni Ndou, said Tshifhatane Primary School impressed his company when one looked at the management of the school, its future plans of excelling in various sporting codes and how learners were

committed to participating in sports.

“We have numbers of applicants in our offices who ask for donations, but we need a clear motivation letter with a business plan before we can fund.

We will donate girls kits in the near future if pupils from the school show more commitment in sport,” Pastor Ndou said.

He added his company had already donated rugby kits to Pietersburg High School in Polokwane during their rugby tournament held recently.

Good start for Madombidzha Western Stars Zamenkomste FC lost 0-1 to Madombidzha Western Stars in their MMK Insurance league at the Madombidzha grounds on Sunday.

The side from Zamenkomste was strong at the far back and in their striking force, but the team lacked cohesion in the middle of the park. The balls that threatened the defence of Stars were ballooned from behind.

Jonas Ndou of Stars was booked for applying dirty tricks.

Stars enjoyed more ball possession, but their promising moves were unceremoniously stopped by the rock-solid defence of Zamenkomste. No goal was seen during the first half.

In the 48th minute, the right back for Zamenkomste, Rudzani Sikhitha, was booked for faking an injury. The only goal of the match was scored in the 64th minute. Maanda Magoro of Stars tried his luck from the 25-metre area and the keeper of the opponents, Musandiwa Makhudja, misjudged the flight of the ball and suffered the pain of watching it go beyond his reach.

Stars introduced Daniel Mukosi for Jonas Ndou.

The replacement proved to be a fortuitous move on the part of their technical staff. Mukosi was rock solid at the back, defending all tricky moves from Maanda Magoro of Stars was the only goal their opponents. scorer.

Pastor Nkhelebeni Ndou of AMH Car Retail Group handed over soccer kits and balls to learners of Tshifhatane Primary School while the principal of the school, Mr Tshimangadzo Mammburu, (seated far right) looks on.

Fixtures

Black Leopards to face Blackburn Rovers Black Leopards are gearing up for a tough NFD match against Blackburn Rovers at the Seshego Stadium tomorrow afternoon (Saturday). This will probably be the last official match at the Seshego Stadium as Lidoda Duvha are expected to utilize the Makhuvha Stadium in Thohoyandou as their new home ground soon.

Both Leopards and Blackburn Rovers are not performing well this season.

Leopards are lying in the 12th position on the log, while Rovers are languishing in the third-last spot.

According to Leopards’ head coach, Mr Kostadin Papic, they

have been working on their scoring problem for the past two weeks. He added that they had realized that all other departments, except the striking force, were well balanced and that their sharpshooters had let them down in all five their previous league matches.

He also mentioned that the fact that they were not conceding goals was a clear indication that there was nothing wrong with their defenders. Lidoda Duvha played to goalless draws in three of the five matches they had played so far.

In the other NFD matches that will also be played tomorrow, Jomo Cosmos will host African

Warriors; Sivutsa Stars will entertain Thanda Royal Zulu at the Kabokweni Stadium in Nelspruit and the pace setters, Milano United, will host Witbank Spurs at the Grassy Park Stadium in Cape Town.

Rockers win controversial match

In their MMK Funeral Services League match at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday, Rockers FC beat Univen FC 1-0 to retain their leadership on the log.

Univen started the game with 10 men, while waiting for the registration card and identity document of their diminutive midfielder, Bandile Mashele. The students managed to match the hosts pound for pound in all departments, despite all the odds. Mashele’s registration card and identity document arrived 30 minutes after the game had started.

When comparing the identity number on the card with the one on the registration card, the officials of Rockers discovered

that the two numbers did not match.

They then instructed the opponents not to field the player, saying he was not legible to play under the circumstances.

What followed thereafter was a heated argument between the officials of the two clubs and the game came to a halt for longer than 20 minutes as a result. Univen’s officials argued that they should be allowed to field the player and that Rockers should lodge a protest if they so wished.

That was an insult to Rockers as they maintained that they would abandon the game if Mashele was allowed onto the pitch.

The referee finally made a rul-

ing that the player should not play and the game continued as if nothing had happened. To rub salt into the Univen wounds, their keeper, Eugene Mbedzi, sustained a knee injury after a collision with Mulisa Tshivhi.

Mbedzi requested that he should be replaced, but there was nobody on the

team’s bench to take his place and for that reason he was forced to guard the poles to the bitter end.

Rockers capitalised on the limping Mbedzi’s injury to score their much-awaited goal in the 68th minute.

Mashudu Siobo scored with a ground cutter from close range.

Univen were reduced to nine men after Lutendo Matodzi saw red, following a dangerous tackle on Ntsieni Nengovhela in the 76th minute. Despite that, Univen threatened to score moments thereafter. Mutali Mulaudzi shot straight to the keeper instead of chipping the ball and trying other possible ways.
