Why do you take your wrath out on me?

Late afternoon commuters at Thohoyandou´s Mvusuludzo taxi rank watched in dismay as a bloodied man staggered around aimlessly a fortnight ago. The man is believed to have been attacked at another part of the rank after being mistakenly identified as a mugger. The man suffered serious head injuries in the attack. The man, believed to be related to a well known reggae artist, said he did not know why he was attacked. He looked confused and onlookers were busy calling for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. In the picture, curious onlookers gathered around the man, clearly shocked by the sight of blood gushing from his wounds.

Mugari appointed as the acting MM for Makhado The Makhado municipal council has opted to appoint Mr Elias Mugari as acting municipal manager in the place of Mr Shadrack Tshikalange. Mr Tshikalange’s contract expired last month and the council seemingly opted not to renew it.

The council stated this week that Mugari was the most experienced official and they believed he was the person who could temporarily drive the municipality to the next level. Mugari is the director of community services at the municipality.

The spokesperson for the Makhado Municipality, Mr Louis Bobodi, confirmed Mugari’s appointment.

“Mugari will be acting in the position until such time as the new mu-

nicipal manager is appointed,” said Bobodi. He also said that the position had already been advertised.

The decision to appoint Mugari as the acting municipal manager was welcomed by members of both the Sinthumule-Kutama and Makhado Pastors Forum, who officially welcomed him last Friday.

Speaking at this event, the chairperson for the Makhado Pastors Forum, Mr Peter Thovhakale, said that the forums had confidence in Mugari.

“We will continue praying for you, so that you can continue rendering services to God’s people,” he said.

The forums also used the opportunity to bid farewell to Mr Tshikalange, who had served for a period of two years.

The rural community of Mukula outside Thohoyandou on Thursday had a rude awakening when one of the only two ATM machines in the village was blown up by robbers. The ATM, situated inside the Shoprite U Save complex at Mukula, was damaged after robbers gained entry through the roof. The incident happened in the early morning hours. Mr Thizwiiti Tshipani, the manager of the store, said that he received a call after midnight that there might be people in the shop. He said he rushed there, finding that the police were already present. “I opened the shop, only to find that the ATM that is housed in our shop had been blown up and some cash was scattered around the machine,” said Tshipani. Major Mashudu Malelo, the Thohoyandou police spokesperson, confirmed the incident and said they had opened a burglary case. “We are appealing to whoever might have information to please contact us, so that we can crack this case. All information will be treated in the strictest confidence and no one’s identity will be revealed,” said Malelo. In the photo, the shop manager, Mr Thizwiiti Tshipani, is assessing the damage.

Makhado FM’s manager suspended while workers are not being paid Junior Ramovha, had to call in the police to assist.

Khomola argued that he could not be asked to leave because he is a founder member of the station.

Ramovha then produced documents that show that he (Ramovha) is a co-founder of the station. The police, however, failed to remove Khomola from the building as instructed by the CEO. Presenters had to lock the station and also took the keys of the cars that the station is currently using that were provided by Werda Motors. Khomola insisted that he should be given the keys as he was still the station manager, but the presenters refused to hand them over.

Khomola told Mirror on Wednesday that he was not going anywhere and that he would continue with his duties as station manager. “I did nothing wrong. I cannot be suspended for something that I did not do. Ramovha does not have proof of the allegations,” he said.

Ramovha said that Khomola was put on special leave until further notice, pending the finalisation on the investigation. “While Khomola remains on leave, I will have to Makhado FM’s CEO, Mr Junior Ramovha. meet with the board and

discuss the matter next week,” he said. He added that even though Khomola refused to take the letter, he would remain on leave.

Khomola is also accused of lying to the radio station’s employees, promising them that they would receive their salaries last month, but to no avail. At the time of going to press, the workers were still waiting to get paid.

“It is not good that we are not being paid. We are not happy about it and are tired of empty promises,” said some of the presenters who commented, on condition of remaining anonymous. They added that Khomola had promised the presenters a salary of R6 000, while newsreaders would get R4 000.

This apparently never happened.

They further indicated how difficult it was for them to go on air on empty stomachs. “We thought things would be fine when Khomola first came to the station, but they are even worse than before,” said the presenters.

Presenters protested outside the station last Friday, accusing Khomola of favouritism. Some said that they were not happy with Khomola’s management style.

“It was only after the CEO (Ramovha) intervened that the presenters returned to work. He promised that he would fork out money from his (own) pocket to pay the workers,” they said.

With regard to payment, Ramovha said that the board had not raised enough funds in time and that was why the presenters had not yet been paid.

“However, when money is available at the station, we will pay them,” he said.

Ramovha added that the station was still committed to paying the presenters but could not promise when this would happen because currently there is no money.

It is also alleged that one of the presenters, Mulalo “Cat” Masikhwa, had resigned due to the fact that she was not paid. When contacted for comment, Masikhwa confirmed her resignation but did not want to say why she had resigned.

She only said that things were not well at the station.

There was chaos when Makhado FM’s station manager, Mr Takalani Khomola, was ordered to take special leave on Tuesday, following allegations that he had allegedly harassed some of the female presenters. Khomola was given the special leave until further notice, pending an investigation.

The station came to a standstill when presenters protested against Khomola’s presence. Although Khomola was handed a letter indicating that he was being placed on special leave, he refused to exit the station’s premises. The station’s CEO, Mr

Young man arrested after death of friend

An 18-year-old man who allegedly stabbed and killed a friend at Mulelu village in Nzhelele on Sunday, 8 April, was arrested and charged with murder.

The suspect, Nekhondela Livhuwani, allegedly stabbed Joseph Machavha (24). Apparently, the two were on their way from a local bottle store when an argument ensued. The argument resulted in a fight, during which Machaba was allegedly stabbed in the chest under his left arm. He died on the scene. According to the police, the incident took place shortly after midnight.

The spokesperson of the Mphephu police, W/O Lazarus Netshidzati,

said that when the police arrived at the scene, the victim was lying on the ground dead. "Machaba had a big wound under his left arm," said Netshidzati. He added that the victim had allegedly been stabbed with a piece of broken bottle.

"Livhuwani was arrested immediately after the incident and charged with murder," Netshidzati added.

According to him, Machavha was declared dead by the medical staff who arrived on the scene with an ambulance.

Nekhondela appeared in the Dzanani Magistrate's Court last Tuesday, and the case was postponed to 21 Arrested: Livhuwani Nekhondela.

New toilets for pupils at Magidi Primary Teenager gang-raped, left unconscious Pupils at Magidi Primary School, who have been exposed to extremely unhygienic conditions due to a lack of proper toilet facilities, could soon see their situation changed for the better.

The giant insurance company, Old Mutual, recently donated R20 000 to the school. The money is to be used to refurbish the school, which is in a state of dilapidation, and also to build better sanitation facilities for the pupils.

The first phase of the project, which will involve the local community, has already started. It includes the digging of trenches where pipes will be laid and the digging of a septic pit.

At the weekend, community members were briefed on the progress of the project and also had the chance to see the state the school is in.

In an interview, Mr Stanley Booi, a senior sales coordinator at Old Mutual in Thohoyandou and an executive member of the local civic, said they learnt about the unhygienic conditions pupils found themselves in because they did not have proper toilets.

"We became worried after learning that, for the past 15 years, the school had been making pleas for assistance, but to no avail. We are a caring company, and we are very serious about issues that have to do with the education of the children as we

know they are our future.

This is where we came into the picture, and we are going to assist them until the project is finalised."

He said the money came from the voluntary employee benefit fund.

Ms Nkhangweleni Mukwevho, principal of the school, said they were worried about the state of the toilets. "Some of our toilets are cracked and are not fit for use by our children. We are just happy that Old Mutual came to our rescue. We still have many needs here at our school.

We will ask permission from the department that other businesses can come to our aid," she said.

Musina news

Protective clothing for EPWP workers It was all smiles when Musina Mayor Carol Phiri presented 60 Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) workers from indigent families with protective clothing.

The EPWP is one of government's array of programmes aimed at providing poverty and income relief through temporary work for the unemployed to carry out socially useful activities. It was launched in April 2004, to promote economic growth and create sustainable development.

The municipality spent about R33 000 in procuring the uniforms in order to conform to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Each worker joyfully received a work suit, safety boots, a

reflector and protective hat.

The mayor said the main purpose of handing over the uniforms was to prevent injuries by protecting people from unnecessary exposure to hazards on the job. “The protective clothing will be used as a barrier between workers and possible hazards.

Besides that, it is the right of each worker to be protected from any danger in the workplace. We are obliged to make sure that our workers fully enjoy their work in as much safety as possible.”

Explaining how the workers were appointed, Phiri said: “We did not want to rely on reports about the background of the families, but instead spent two days personally assessing their

living conditions.

What I saw in these people’s houses is painful. I have really observed poverty at its worst.

After the visits, we decided to do something to keep the fire burning in these families.”

Among others, the job descriptions of the EPWP workers include sweeping the streets, de-bushing shrubs and general cleaning, both in town and in Nancefield location.

One of the workers who received the uniforms is Jonty Dikgale. He thanked the municipality for taking care of them and "we have no doubt that these gifts will encourage us to work hard.

We don’t have enough words to express our gratitude.”

Jubilant EPWP workers pose with Mayor Carol Phiri (in white blouse) and Chief Whip Simon Madamalala, after they were presented with uniforms.

A 17- year-old Beit Bridge girl was gang-raped by three unknown suspects in a bushy area in the Dulibadzimu suburb of the border town, police have said.

Police spokesperson Sgt Loveness Mangena said the incident occurred on Thursday night near the Mfelandawonye houses.

“The victim was coming from a nearby kiosk where she had bought salt. She was on her way home when one of the suspects confronted her. The suspect, who was brandishing a knife, then forced the young woman to the

bushy area, where the two other suspects were hiding,” she said.

"On arrival, the three men held the girl the whole night and took turns to rape her until the following morning.

They then fled the scene, leaving the girl unconscious,” Mangena said.

The victim later regained consciousness and went home.

She informed her parents and a report was made to the police.

Mangena said the girl was taken to Beit Bridge District Hospital for a medical examination. She said no arrests had been made,

adding that investigations were underway.

“We have since launched a manhunt for the three suspects and we are also appealing to anyone with information that could lead to their arrest to inform us,” she added.

Meanwhile, the local police have since launched an awareness campaign, following an increase in the number of rape cases in the area. Mangena said the programme was launched last week. The campaign has so far covered Mpoengs and Lutumba village.

Farm labourer accused of murder A farm labourer who had allegedly stabbed and killed a co-worker at one of the farms in Waterpoort last year, Mr Gilbert Mabada, appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate's Court last Tuesday.

The case was postponed to Monday, 16 April.

Mabada (31) is facing a charge of murder after he had allegedly stabbed and killed a 22-year-old co-worker, Mr Maxwell Muthuthu. The incident happened at the Jachtkraal Farm on 2 April last year.

According to the police report, Muthuthu was drinking with friends at the farm where he worked as a farm labourer, when Mabada visited the farm that day.

Mabada then allegedly started quarreling with the victim, which resulted in a fight. It led to Muthuthu's being stabbed in the chest.

He died on the scene.

Mabada is a resident of Madimbo in the Niani area. He was denied bail during his first court appearance last year.

Traditional leaders voice budget opinions Traditional leaders who attended the recent Thulamela integrated development programme (IDP) meeting in Thohoyandou, said it augured well for the municipality that it consulted them before implementing the municipal budget.

The meeting took place last Wednesday and different stakeholders attended the meeting.

A draft budget of more than R600 million was tabled for the 2012/13 financial year.

Speaking after the meeting, Chief Tshitondovhe Ligege said Thulamela Mayor Cllr Grace Mahosi (second from left) shakes hands with Chief Tshitondovhe for a long time the municipality Ligege, while other municipal officials and community leaders look on. had been ignoring areas under

traditional leadership when it came to service delivery.

"Areas under traditional leaders are not well looked after and there is always a dire need for service.

People are without water in most instances and these people are on the receiving end as they are engulfed in poverty.

We just hope that, by involving us, things will change for the better," he said.

He said the municipality did not know the community's needs and consulting them would help give a clear picture about the state of areas under traditional rule.

Ligege added that he was happy that they were able to tell the municipality what they needed in the villages.

"We hope the municipality will remember this when they prepare their budget," he said.

In an interview, Thulamela Mayor Cllr Grace Mahosi said IDP meetings were important as they gave the muncipality insight into what the people wanted.

"We are a democratic government and we work according to the wishes of the people.

They should tell us what they want and we consolidate everything."

Mbokota family demand answers after policeman kills 9-year-old in accident

The bereaved mother, Ms Maria Mudau.

By Kaizer Nengovhela

Assault suspect hangs himself A 35-year-old man, Johannes Mudau, apparently committed suicide in a Tshilwavhusiku police cell on Sunday night.

Tshilwavhusiku spokesperson Constable Godwin Mahuwa said Mudau’s body was found hanging from the roof on Sunday night. He apparently used a sheet of linen to hang himself. Mahuwa said that Mudau was arrested on Sunday, facing a charge of common assault.

The family members are now becoming very impatient and have urged the police to supply answers as to what had led to the death. The deceased’s sister, Ms Tshiwela Mudau, said the family was heartbroken. “My brother was in good spirits when the police arrested him.” She said the deceased was leaving behind young children who still needed his care. “We are short of words to express our sadness. He has left a void that will be hard to fill. We have lost someone who cared for and loved us all,” she said.

Tshiwela said that when her brother was arrested, she thought he would be looked after, but much to their surprise they were informed that he had died.

“We are still waiting for the police to explain to us what exactly had happened to Johannes”, said Tshiwela.

The remaining family members depend on a grant that the grandmother receives. Anyone who can help them carry the cost of burying Mudau can contact them at 079 700 4246.

Johannes Mudau will be buried on Saturday (tomorrow) at the Maebane graveyard. He leaves behind his wife, Dead: Johannes Mu­ daughter, sister, brother and mother. dau.

An angry Mbokota family says it needs answers after a policeman attached to the Waterval police station allegedly knocked down and killed their nine-year-old daughter last week.

Vutlhari Advocate Mapengo was allegedly hit by a car along the Masekane Primary School road, while standing at the side of the road.

She was rushed to the nearby Elim Hospital, from where she was later transferred to the provincial hospital in Polokwane.

Although she reached the provincial hospital in time, Vutlhari died the following day at the hospital.

What upsets the family the

most is the fact that the police officer, who was only identified as Const Thilivhali Mulaudzi, allegedly “produced a gun at the scene of the accident when approached by the community.

My granddaughter was standing at the side of the road when she was knocked down by the car,” said the child’s grandmother, Ms Nkhensani Vukeya.

She said that the police also promised to take action about the police officer concerned, but nothing has happened. “They did not even visit my family after the incident. It was hard to raise money to bury my granddaughter,” she said. Vutlhari was a grade 4 pupil at Masekane primary. The child’s mother,

Basani Vukeya, said that when they visited the police station on the day of the accident “we were promised that the man would be arrested, but he is still walking around freely.”

She added that she would be happy if the police officer who had killed her daughter would be arrested. “I want to see justice done,” said Basani.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Waterval police station, W/O Risimati Masonto, confirmed the incident. He said that the police had opened a case of reckless driving, which was later changed to a charge of culpable homicide. “We are also investi- The nine-year-old daughter, Vutlhari Advocate gating the allegations levelled at Mapengo, was allegedly knocked down by a car Mulaudzi,” Masonto said. driven by a policeman.

Selepe is back and is ready to deliver

Members of the Thohoyandou Somali business community and community leader Catherine Ratshilumela, photographed with part of the consignment of groceries they donated to the community of Ngovhela Backside.

By Elmon Tshikhudo

Somali business community extend a helping hand to local centres Members of the Somali business community in Thohoyandou have come together and raised funds that will benefit the local community.

Last Wednesday, they extended a hand of friendship to the community of Ngovhela Backside by donating groceries worth more than R10 000.

The groceries will be given to two community organisations, Lavelesani Crèche and Technomaster Day Care Centre.

The two organisations are looking after 81 children, most of whom are from disadvantaged backgrounds. The group also

donated R600 in cash.

The leader of the group, Mr Ali Mohamed, said the members each contributed a certain amount each month which went toward assisting those in need. “We are doing this out of compassion, the love of our local brothers and sisters. We know the harsh conditions most locals live in and we cannot just look and pretend as if all is well.

We will continue identifying needy communities and assisting where possible,” he said.

He said they were also going to buy a soccer kit for the community. “We have been

assisting many communities and we are following the command of the Bible that those who are blessed should bless others. This is the start of a long-lasting relationship with this community,” he added. Receiving the groceries, an excited Ms Catherine Ratshilumela said the community was always in need and that the donation would make a much-needed difference for the children. “We are very grateful for what these people have done for us.They are not our relatives, but have done more than our local businesspeople with whom we reside,” she added.

MANAGER’S SPECIAL

While people had been asking themselves about the whereabouts of an ANC veteran, Mr Rufus Selepe, the party decided to appoint him as a councillor for Ward 24. His appointment follows the by-election that was held at Makhado Municipality’s Ward 24 on 28 March this year.

Selepe was appointed after the ANC had won the by-election by collecting 92% of the votes.

The by-elections were held in the ward, following the passing away of the the late councillor Cllr Selina Gundula. She passed away in November last year.

Selepe, who is a former portfolio head of community services

in the Vhembe District, had been jobless for the past ten months.

Many people thought it was the end of his political career, but his return to office proved them wrong.

During his political career, Selepe had always been a fighter.

His previous experience includes being the Chief Whip of the Makhado Municipality from 2006 to 2008. He was a portfolio head of community services at the district municipality from 2009 to 2011. Selepe worked as a provincial organiser of the ANC for more than 10 years.

The council formally welcomed Selepe during its sitting a week ago. Speaking to Mirror

ANC veteran Mr Rufus Selepe was appointed as councillor for Makhado Municipality´s Ward 24.

last week, Selepe said that he had done it before and would still do it now. He said: “I am prepared to continue to render service delivery to the people. Consultation is the main thing and I will always consult my community. Nothing for them without them.”

Selepe, who is the current deputy chairperson for the Muhovhi ANC branch, assured members of the community that there will be a lot of changes in all the villages around the ward. Selepe added that he was happy to be back in the municipality. “I am back where I belong, but the ANC decides. I know that the community will benefit a lot from me,” he said.

Taxi operators arrested after violence The Makuya police arrested two men in connection with taxi-related violence last week.

Makuya police spokesperson W/O Mashudu Madida said the men were arrested at Makuya after an incident where the suspects allegedly attacked a Nzhelele taxi owner and damaged his taxi.

It is alleged that the two, who

are members of the Thohoyandou Taxi Association, found the victim and accused him of operating in their area. The victim apparently operates between Venda and Gauteng.

The two are alleged to have stabbed the taxi’s tyres before forcefully taking an unknown amount of cash from the owner.

The suspects, Joel Makamu (50) and Tsumbedzo Alfred Mudau (65), appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court last week Wednesday.

They were charged with malicious damage to property, robbery and assault.

They were granted bail of R1500 each.

Musina news

More street lights repaired in Musina Mrs Luvhengo Matamela and her husband Jim (centre), share a birthday cake. They were born on the same day, 101 years ago. With them in the photo are family members and friends.

The photo was taken during their birthday celebration at Tswinga last Saturday.

The Leboho family of Louis Trichardt with their “miracle baby”. Mrs Audriette Leboho sits with Katlego on her lap and her husband, Gabriel. “We want to thank God: there is no situation too difficult for Him!” says Ms Leboho, who has had diabetes for 22 years. In December 2009 she developed such a bad diabetic foot condition that she was advised to have her leg amputated, but “through God’s grace, I still have my legs,” says Audrey. “In 2011 I fell pregnant and experienced so many complications, including high blood pressure, high sugar levels and severe infection of the esophagus. When my doctors saw my condition, they wanted to terminate the pregnancy and said that I could not have children. Through the prayers of the New Covenant Church and His Presence Church, both in town, and the prayers of my family, I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy on 16 February 2012”, says Leboho. Photo supplied.

Despite the challenge of escalating incidents of cable theft, the technical staff of Musina Municipality has intensified its routine programme of fixing street lights in Nancefield and Musina town.

Technical Manager Jakkie du Toit says the initiative is part of the municipality’s obligation to deliver satisfying services to its communities. He says efficient street lighting has an important role to play. “Strong lights reduce the risks of nighttime accidents. They also assist in the protection of property. They discourage crime and vandalism at night, thereby making residents feel secure.

Street lighting is necessary to illuminate bends and traffic-calming features, to enable road users to see potential obstacles and each other after dark and to reduce the fear of crime.”

He says the municipality is obliged to make sure that all street lights are functioning, for various reasons. “The first reason for providing safety is very important to walkers, joggers, cyclists and others of all ages - from kids walking to school, all the way to neighbours getting to and from local businesses. These streetlights allow motorists a better chance at seeing pedestrians and also allow the pedestrians to be aware of their surroundings.”

He continues: “The other reason, deterrence of crime, is very important for all of the property owners in our area. One of the first things we talk about in crime prevention and neighborhood watch is that all areas should have adequate lighting.

From the criminal’s point of view, the area which is dark looks more attractive than a very well-lit area. If the area is lit up, we have a better chance

of not having our houses or businesses and vehicles broken into.”

Du Toit encourages community members to report non-functional street lights in their vicinity.

“When you report a problem with a street light, try to give as much information as possible about the type of fault. A council inspector will immediately come to look at the damage. It is our joint responsibility to make sure that Musina becomes a crime-free area.”

Lizhakandila believes he is the voice of Musina’s listeners Radio presenters are the public 'voice' of any radio station. They are the identity and point of contact between listeners and the radio station.

Robert Ramphabana (32), known as Lizhakandila by Musina FM listeners, it is more than just a public voice - radio is his passion and what he was born to do. This unstoppable, versatile presenter is the hand that rocks the cradle although he has been on air for less than six months.

how to make my listeners happy. I play music which caters for everyone and also make sure that my listeners are aware of what is happening around them.”

Ramphabana says although he encourages young people to venture into the broadcasting industry, they must first become educated because education is the only foundation to prosperity.

When he is not on radio, he alternates between his role as a presenter and performing artist. He has recorded two albums that are also doing well in the market.

He shares his secret of success in the studio: “I never go to the studio without thorough preparation. I make sure that I research the topics to be presented to give my listeners the desired information.

Just-Ice ready to make a come-back

Musician Justice Mbedzi, a 2010 Satma nominee, popularly known as Just-Ice, celebrated his five years in the music industry in style.

As part of the celebrations which took place at Tshipise Tsha Sagole, his home town, Just-Ice handed over uniforms to needy pupils from the surrounding schools. The celebration, which also included the launch of his third album, Mudzimu Muhuluhulu, took place during the Easter weekend.

The album contains 11 tracks. Fellow musicians and two well-known radio personalities, Mpho Nefale and Jones “Majantibai” Netshipise, entertained the big crowd. The launch of the album comes after an absence of three years from the recording studio.

Mbedzi completed an IT diploma during this time. “It has been a long and rocky road sometimes, but I managed to soldier on and had some success on the way." He said the celebration was a way of saying thanks to his fans and his community.

He added that he and his friends decided to give uniforms to disadvantaged pupils. "I am very excited about the way things went. Everything went according to plan and the attendance was super."

Robbers blow up safe at filling station

A resident, Mr Colleen Rakhadani, photographed while opening taps without water.

By Silas Nduvheni

We demand clean water say Mutale’s ward 7 residents While water is regarded as a source of life, rural communities in seven villages of Ward 7 in the Mutale Local Municipality regard it as one of the most luxurious commodities ever.

The affected rural communities in Mufulwi, Ngalavhani, Mafukani, Ha-Mabila and other surrounding villages say they have been without water for the past five months. The only water is a distance away and they are forced to travel about three kilometers to the Savhani River, where they have to share the water with cattle.

They feel they have been robbed of their votes. “We voted for better lives during the May municipal elections last year, but our votes have turned into a nightmare for us. We want clean water from the taps as promised during the election campaign,” said one villager, who doesn’t want to be named.

“Since December last year, there

has been no water and the municipality ha been promising us, but nothing is coming. In the past, we used to get clean water from our taps through the Gwangwatini Water Scheme,” said a worried villager.

Some other villagers said they used to fork out money for hiring a donkey-kart, which normally cost them as much as R100 per load.

“It is too costly for us as some of us depend on grants,” said another villager.

Ward 7 councillor in the Mutale local municipality, Ms Sylvia Thambatshira, denies that there are water shortages in her ward. She says that, due to electricity problems at the Gwangwatini Water Scheme, the scheme is not producing water.

“We used to deliver water to those affected as the scheme was not producing water. We are doing our best to provide water, even though the scheme is not working properly,” said Thambatshira.

Criminals broke into a filling station at Mbokota village on Saturday night and blasted open a safe before fleeing with more than R30 000 in cash.

The spokesperson for the Waterval police, W/O Risimati Masonto, confirmed the incident and said that the police were investigating a case of housebreaking and theft.

He said that explosives had been used to open the safe. The police recovered a small amount of cash at the scene.

“The incident happened at about 01:55,” said Masonto. “It appeared that the suspects first broke into the room where the safe was kept, before bombing it,” he said. He added that it also appeared as if the criminals had gained entrance to the room through the windows that had also been vandalized.

The suspects are still at large.

Masonto is now appealing to members of the community who have any information that can assist the police to contact them. “Whoever has information regarding what had happened is not even supposed to reveal his or her identity, but just furnish the police with information. The matter will be treated as confidential, so that the suspects can be arrested,” he said.

Anyone with information can contact the Waterval police at 015 5568000.

Suspects arrested Eight suspects were arrested by the Makhado Police over the past weekend.

In the first incident, two suspects between the ages of 31 and 44 were caught for the possession of dagga.

Another three suspects, aged 24, 29 and 31 respectively, were locked up in connection with two different charges of the possession of suspected stolen property.

One 29-year-old suspect was also arrested for drunk driving, while a 38-year-old suspect was arrested on a charge of fraud. One 32-year-old suspect was also arrested in connection with domestic violence. All suspects were to appear in court by the time of going to press.

Following the weekend’s arrests, police have warned future criminals that “no stone will be left unturned in pursuance of all criminal activities in town and other areas policed by the Makhado Police.”

Special treat for senior citizens Four local municipalities of Vhembe recently took a large number of senior citizens to the Big Tree at Zwigodini for a fun-filled day.

The tree has a cave that can accommodate 30 people in it; it can be surrounded by 37 people joining hands. Mr Ligege Kanakana encouraged the senior citizens to attend their

meetings and also to let other senior citizens join them, so that they can know what is good for them as senior citizens. “Together we can do better.

Let us always come together, so that we create friendships and also support and care for one another”, said the chairperson of Vhembe Senior Citizen committee, Mr Gideon Rambau.

The weaver and his art ...

Kaizer Mafela spends his mornings and afternoons sitting by the riverside in the bushy area near Firefly Bakery in Louis Trichardt.

The shade of the tall trees and the chirping of birds make a pleasant atmosphere for him as he twists strips of slightly dry canes into all-purpose baskets, flower pots and washing bins.

“I couldn’t go far in school,” he said when he spoke to Limpopo Mirror. “That’s the unfortunate part about my life today, but I know God is with me. I’ve been doing wire baskets and other things ever since I was a small boy. Even my parents know that I excel at art.”

The Maebane-born artist was a favourite of teachers at school in the village, since almost all the teachers liked what he was doing then. Most parents and boys will remember this man for the attractive wire cars which he sold in the streets of Louis Trichardt from the early 2000s. But today, he says, he has moved from using wire to specialising in river cane wares and acorns. He says that his products sell like Cool Time ice

pops on a hot day.

As an art critic myself, I give Kaizer 66% for the beauty and quality of his work. He would have scored much higher, were it not for the lack of formalising his art and turning it into a profitable venture. In other words, he needs to understand that, as his wares are also in great demand, selling decorative flower baskets at R15 each (like the ones shown in the photo) might not take him that far in terms of generating money.

His designer domestic wares are good in shape and form indeed. To prove that, I took Kaizer to the newspaper’s offices to let my colleagues witness the beauty of his products.

One colleague jumped into buying two flower baskets at once, leaving us all still in need of more.

In conclusion, Kaizer advises the youth to get real in the world by seizing the opportunities given to them by the Heavenly Father. “My work mustn’t surprise you,” he says. “If you’re interested in what I do, come over and I’ll teach you the skills, free of charge.”

Zim police bust dagga-growing syndicate

The new executive that was recently elected to lead the Thulamela sub-region.

By Elmon Tshikhudo

Shivambu to lead ANC in Thulamela The ANC Thulamela subregion recently held its conference at Malamulele Boxing Gym and elected Mr Moss Shivambu as chairperson of the sub-region.

The sub-regional conference is a build-up to the regional conference on 18 May at a venue still to be confirmed, as well as the national conference in December this year at Mangaung.

The five top positions were hotly contested. Mr Ernest Mulaudzi will serve as deputy chairperson, Mushoni Tshifhango as secretary, Ronnie Hlungwani as deputy secretary and Az-

winndini Magoro as treasurer.

The other members of the executive are Paulinah Musetsho, Nkhume Nemaranzhe,Thina Mbedzi and Joyce Davhana In Musina, Fistos Mafela was elected unopposed, while in Makhado, Jerry Dzhombe pipped Lawrence Munungufhala, a known political stalwart, to the post.

In Mutale, Tshitereke Matibe tied with Isaac Munzhelele three times and Matibe became the winner after it was decided that the status quo should be retained.

In Thulamela, Shibambu

takes over from Mutoti Nthambeleni, who served two terms as chairperson of the sub-region.

Thulamela is one of the biggest sub-regions in the province and consists of 40 branches.

Resolutions taken during the conference include, among others, strengthening political education in branches as well as a vigorous HIV/Aids awareness campaign.

The conference also resolved to fight against the use of alcohol and drugs, a continuous go-back-to-school campaign, and to work towards unity in the sub-regions and branches.

Orphans soon to move into new house For the first time after five years of misery, the Manganyi orphans see the light at the end of the tunnel - they will soon have a luxurious house to live in.

The orphans have never owned a house, but have been staying in what can only be described as a shack after their parents passed away. They will soon live in a decent house, after their peers from Khanyisa Combined School built them a house.

The pupils started with the project for the orphans of Ngove village, outside Giyani, by selling sweets, potato chips and

biscuits in the vicinity. They started to build the house in 2010, but due to a lack of money, the pupils failed to finish the house. After a national newspaper had published the story, Gijas Home Improvement Centre, the Mabunda Royal Council and Build-It joined the effort and finished the house. The Manganyi orphans, Ananias (20), Khesan (19), Chris (15), Xitshembiso (12) and Mikateko (9), are all still at school. They were left orphans when their parents passed away between 2001 and 2007. Since then, they have been surviving by going to a local drop-in centre to

get food or handouts from locals.

Ananias Manganye said that God had rescued his family. ”I would like to thank all who helped us,” he added.

Gijas Home Improvement Centre's Mashack Makhubele said he was inspired by the commitment of the pupils. “As Gijas, we have helped many impoverished families around Limpopo and Mpumalanga. We are also proud that we have built a quality house for these orphans,” he added.

Several businessmen also assisted in providing the necessary equipment for the house.

Unanimous vote for Delekisa in Midoroni A well-known activist, Mr James Delekisa, was unanimously elected the new chairman of the Midoroni branch of the South African National Civic Organization (Sanco) during a recent meeting held at the local headman’s kraal.

Delekisa will be assisted by Mr Mutheiwana Ramabulana.

The other members of the executive committee are Messrs Clara Makananise (general secretary), Naledzani Mukwevho (deputy general secretary), Joseph Muthuvha (treasurer) and Abraham Mahlo (organising secretary).

The heads for the various departments were also elected during the meeting. They will be allocated portfolios during a meeting that will be held soon.

The various heads of department are Freddy Mushathi, Jane Mabudu, Makondo Mphephu, Jumara Murivhami, Phineas Maswanganyi, Marikie Mudau, Linda Ramathikhithi, Samuel Munonoka, Maria Madzhie, Julia Foromo, Thanyani Ndadza, Julia Tshiwela, Tshililo Tshiwela, Tshililo Maboyi and Rossy Bereda. According to Delekisa, who is also the provincial organising

secretary of the organisation, his structure is faced with a number of challenges which they must sort out within a short space of time. According to him, the supply of water to the area is top of their list of priorities.

He also revealed that they will ensure that the construction of RDP houses which could not be completed over the past years should be completed as a matter of urgency. He reiterated the fact that some of the areas are still without electricity, despite numerous promises by the local municipality.

Couple robbed and wife assaulted A couple was robbed and the wife allegedly raped by two men at Ha-Mudimeli last week.

According to the police, the victims are a 47-year-old man and his 33-year-old wife. They were coming from work when the two suspects, Emanuel Matila and his brother Samuel, allegedly stopped them and demanded money.

They grabbed R1 000 from the husband and then dragged his wife to a nearby graveyard, where they allegedly repeatedly raped her.

The woman managed to escape when the two culprits allegedly started fighting each other.

The spokesperson for the Mphephu police, W/O Lazarus Netshidzati, said that the events took place shortly after 20:00.

"The two were arrested immediately after the incident," he said.

Netshidzati said that although cases of common robbery and rape had been opened with the police, the woman later came and changed her statement, claiming that she had not been raped and had only been assaulted. The police were forced to open another case of assault,"he said.

Emanuel Matila.

It is not known why the woman had changed her statement.

The suspects had since been arrested.

They appeared in the Dzanani Magistrate's Court last Tuesday and the case was postponed 25 May, while the two remain in custody.

They also forfeited the game’s points to Rangers.

In a similar case, Tshiozwi Dynamos were fined R5 000 for assaulting the referee. They also forfeited the game’s points to the opponent.

Mphego Real Rovers were fined R2 000 for fielding an improperly registered player when they played against Ngwenani Young Chiefs and they forfeited the game’s points to Chiefs. Thinawanga Mphego, a player of Rovers, was sus-

pended for six months.

Highlanders beat Try Again 2-1 Ravele Highlanders were too good for Madombidzha Try Again when they beat them 2-1 in a Limpopo Dairy League match at the Ravele grounds on Sunday.

The score was not a true reflection of the game. The first half was characterised by wasted chances, with the home team dominating the proceedings. Maanda Maladzha of Try Again was unlucky when his volley hit the crossbar and bounced out for a goal kick. A similar situation took place in the 18th minute, when Rudzani Muregu caught the keeper off-guard. Lutendo Muhali cleared his grass-cutter from the goal line.

Highlanders opened their account in the 24th minute. Moses Maanda

scored after a square pass from Khutso Machabaphala. Lutendo Muhali was cautioned for obstructing Khathutshelo Malima.

The home team went further ahead in the 40th minute, when Talifhani Mbelengwa was tripped within the box. That was a clear penalty for the home team. Thanyani Maphangwa put the matter beyond doubt when he showed the Try Again keeper, Tsepiso Manavhela, the wrong way from the penalty spot.

Try Again left Takalani Nemutundi in the dressing room at half time. He gave way to Rendani Gumede. Mutshutshu Ramabubuda scored the only goal for Try Again, after he beat three defenders in row.

After battling to collect the maximum points in their previous matches, Rospa United finally snatched an away victory last weekend. They unexpectedly beat Lephalale Young Killers 1-0 in their Vodacom Plromotional League match at the Mogol Stadium on Saturday.

The only goal of the match was scored

by Shandukani “Chikala” Mukoma.

The Vhembe District Municipality has donated tracksuits and new shoes to needy children at Rasikuthuma Primary School, Ha-Masakona.

The 109 pairs of shoes and 120 tracksuits were handed over to the school by the Vhembe Chief Whip, Cllr Tshifhiwa Dali, and Cllr Caroline Mahasela, Speaker of Vhembe District Municipality.

The donation, which comes from different businesspeople in Limpopo, was received by

Thovhele Masakona Rasikhuthuma Ramabulana VI, Mr Mashudu Munungufhala (circuit inspector for Hlanganani south) and the school principal, Edward Matamela, during a function that was at the school on Tuesday.

In his speech during the handing over of the gifts, Dali urged other stakeholders to join forces and help in whatever way they could to contribute to the education of the children.

He also added that the deci-

sion of donating warm tracksuits and shoes to the school was not influenced by the fact that former Vhembe Mayor Florence Dzhombere hailed from Ha-Masakona.

The school principal, Mr Edward Matamela, said he was humbled by the municipality’s decision to donate clothing to their school. Munungufhala also hailed the municipality for supporting the basic needs of the children.

Aubs sponsors a fun run for the elderly The name Aubs Motor and Diesel Centre at Tshisahulu has become synonymous with sports.

They sponsor many community initiatives, but of late they seem more into sports.

Recently, they sponsored three soccer tournaments in Shayandima.

Last weekend, they financed the Shayandima Soccer Challenge, where participating teams went home smiling as they all got huge cash prizes for their participation.

Besides the many interventions in the community of Shayandima, they have assisted people whose houses have been destroyed by natural causes.

They have also assisted many in completing their schooling.

This weekend, they once again lived their motto of empowerment through sports when they sponsored a fun run organised for the elderly at Shayandima.

Even young people joined the elderly during the fun run. The elderly participated in a 10km run, while the youths did a 15km

stretch.

Handing over the prizes, Ms Shoni Mulaudzi, a manager from the company, said it was out of the love for the old people that they financed the fun run.

“Many old people spend most of their time seated at home, doing nothing. They end up having many diseases which could be prevented through exercise,” she added.

A group of participants who took part in the fun is joined by the sponsors and community leaders.

The fun run was organised by Shayandima Sanco and wellknown Limpopo athletics admi­ nistrator Mr Baldwin Masutha.

Masingo chiefs to visit each other again Masingo chiefs in Vhembe have embarked on a campaign to revive an age-old tradition of visiting each other as a way of strengthening relationships among themselves.

Five prominent chiefs, Vho Thovhele Masakona, Chief Rammbuda, Chief Ramugondo and Chief Ravhura gathered at Chief Bohwana’s royal residence at Tshaulu for the annual gathering. The day, which was characterised by cultural activities, took place during the Easter weekend.

After the formal programme, different families came together for meals and networking. After the meals, it was a day of fun, with lots of cultural activities such as dances.

Vho Khotsimunene Mmbofheni Ravhura, one of the coordinators, said they had watched their culture being eroded without any remedy over a period of time.

He said the healthy relationship among traditional leaders and their families that used to exist in the olden days was becoming

history.

“We are here to revive that good relationship that our forebearers used to have with each other. We are here to revive our culture. They used to visit each other from time to time, and there was intermarrying among these families. We would like to see this happening again,” he said.

He said they started meeting as families in 2004 and it had been done on a rotational basis.

“It is working. We have come to realise who our relatives are and the new generation is benefitting because they are learning many things which they would not if it were not for these types of gatherings. We also have time to relieve stress that we accumulate throughout the year,” he added.

Adressing the chiefs and their subjects, Vho Thovhele Vhalinawe Rasikhuthula VI urged all the Masingo to work in unity and to lead exemplary lives.

“Masingo are the ‘real people’ and we do not expect ill behaviour from any of you. We are all known for development and education. Let us work together for the Vho Thovhele Vhalinawe Rasikhuthuma Masakona leads other sake of our good name,” traditional leaders in tshikona dance during the gathering. he said.

Bishop Kwinda-Nehelula, Arcbishop EMM Mureri and Bishop Matyeni arrive at the conference.

Report

UAAC’s women to come to Limpopo Approximately 2 000 women affiliated to the United African Apostolic Church (UAAC) recently gathered in Xesi village in the Eastern Cape for a three-day National Women’s Conference.

Led by Jevrou Netshitangani, the UAAC National Women‘s leader, throngs of UAAC faithful braved torrential rain to participate in the gathering. They traveled from as far as Limpopo, North West and Mpumalanga.

There were also sizeable delegations from Zimbabwe and Botswana.

Xesi village, which played host to the conference, was

painted blue and white as legions of UAAC women were gallivanting freely around the village, wearing their blue-andwhite uniform. The conference was attended by Archbishop EMM Mureri, Bishop KwindaNehelula from Limpopo, Bishop Dube from Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) and Bishop Chitewere from Harare (Zimbabwe).

The conference also witnessed the official welcoming of members of the United Independent Believers in Christ Church to the United African Apostolic Church. The official welcoming ceremony was conducted by Bishop Kwina Nehelula.

Inspector Maudu delivered a sermon centered on the theme of the conference, “There is a living way opened near you, draw close without delay”.

Reading from Mark 14: 32-39, she encouraged all women to remain faithful to the Lord, so as to ensure that the blood of Jesus was not shed in vain, as he was crucified for their sins. “Women should remain vigilant and keep on praying to avoid falling into temptation,” she said. .

In closing, it was announced that the 2013 annual UAAC National Women Conference will be held in Musina

LIMPOPO MIRROR Residents in the Sinthumule-Kutama area have raised their concerns over the manner in which two soccer tournaments were held in the area during the Easter weekend.

Two groups, MAMU Community Sports Development and the Sinthumule-Kutama Community Sports Development, organised soccer tournaments in the area.

The driving force behind MAMU Community Sports Development is Mr Jafta Mamugudubi, while the Sinthumule Kutama Community Sports Development is driven by Mr Kaizer Nengovhela.

Residents said that problems started when Nengovhela started his own tournament this year.

“We used to take part in Mamugudubi’s tournament and everything was fine, but things got out of hand when Nengovhela started his own tournament,” they said.

Mr Tebogo Ratshivhungula of

Controversy surrounds two Easter soccer tournaments Tab All Stars was among those who raised concerns to Mirror about Nengovhela’s tournament. He said: “We were not treated well at the tournament.

We ended up pulling out of the tournament.” He added that Mamugudubi’s tournament also did not give teams the money that it had promised. “Mamugudubi failed (us) when he promised people that the winning team will get R10 000. (He made the promise) before getting money from sponsors. They awarded the winning team R6 000 instead,” said Ratshivhungula.

He said that Nengovhela was not supposed to take sides as an organiser, “but to our surprise, he was siding with Tshiozwi Dynamos. Some of the things we had been promised by the

Nobela and Basil in league clash The much-awaited Vodacom Promotional League match between Basel FC and Nobela All Stars will finally be staged at the Malamulele Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

While Nobela will be fighting it with the aim of remaining in the league championship race, Basel must win the match in order to finish their league programme within the top-eight bracket.

Basel’s vastly experienced striker, Jafta Mabosho, is likely to be in the starting lineup tomorrow.

Mabosho was out of action for the past three weeks after sustaining an ankle injury. Mabosho, together with Louis Chauke and Gift Ramaxwaila, will give the Stars’ defence a tough time if they are not well contained.

On the other hand, it will be a suicidal mistake for Basel to underestimate Stars. Nobela All Stars will pin their hopes on Thembisani Nevhulamba and Chris Manganye for goals. The match will start at 15:00.

In the other Vodacom Promotional League matches that will also be played tomorrow, Rospa United will entertain Dinare FC at the Tshifulanani Stadium. The mood is good in the United camp after they beat Lephalale Young Killers 1-0 last weekend.

Lephalale Young Killers are expected to avenge the defeat they suffered at the hands of Rospa United, when they meet The Dolphins FC at the Seshego Stadium. Fanang Diatla will have a date with Blue Rocks at the Nkowankowa Stadium in Tzaneen.

Giyani Hotspurs will host Magezi FC at the Giyani Stadium. Winners Park will entertain Phungo All Stars at the Mahwelereng Stadium in Mokopane. Phungo let Baroka off the hook and allowed them to score a late equaliser when they drew 1-1 at the Louis Trichardt Eltivillas grounds last Saturday.

The pace-setters, Baroka FC, will meet Super Eagles at the Turfloop Stadium. Mighty FC and Modimolle Aces will rub shoulders at the Seshego Stadium.

chairperson, Mr Nengovhela, were not there. We were told we would get soccer balls, but to our surprise there were no soccer balls,” he said.

He added that it would be difficult for him to trust Nengovhela ever again. “Nengovhela was not supposed to have organised the tournament as a journalist. No wonder only Dynamos always appears in Mirror newspaper almost every time. Nengovhela is being biased in this regard,” said Ratshivhungulu.

He said that he just did not know how he was supposed to complain to the newspaper itself.

He added that, “Our team had to pull out of Nengovhela’s tournament because it was not being run according to LFA laws.”

supposed to have organised a tournament as a journalist. “How can Nengovhela be objective when he also organises his own tournament? It is wrong, and that is where the problem started,” he said. When contacted for comment, Nengovhela said that his tournament had gone well.

He dismissed allegations that he had represented Dynamos during the tournament instead of being an organiser. “We had only four sponsors and we never took any of their sponsors. They are not supposed to blame my tournament for their failure,” said Nengovhela.

Mr Jafta Mamugudubi said that they could not give the winning teams the money they had promised them, because Nengovhela had taken money from some of

Basel’s vastly experienced striker, Jafta Ma­ bosho, is likely to be in the starting lineup tomorrow.

the president of the Makhado Local Football Association (LFA), Mr Joseph Maphaha, said that when soccer tournaments were organised, the LFA was supposed to be consulted before the tournament. “There is insurance that we need to take out in case players get injured. The SinthumuleKutama Easter Soccer Challenge organised by MAMU contacted us, and I also invited the president of SAFA, Mr Nematandani, to attend. However, we were not informed about the tournament

Phungo All Stars surprise

Leopards to step on Amazulu

Phungo All Stars held the current log leaders of the Vodacom league, Baroka FC, to a 1-all draw in Eltivilas on Saturday.

Although Baroka had conceded an early goal, they did not lose their fighting spirit. Stars’ goal came about when Mandisi Ngubane caught the visitors’ defence off-guard after receiving a good pass from fellow striker Justice Rasebotse.

Though Baroka had the lion’s share of the ball possession throughout the match, they lacked a clear-cut final pass that could have helped them gain more than just a point. Stars could have gone 3-0 up before half time, but their strikers let them down.

Black Leopards are determined es that will also be played on Sunday, to make Amazulu their stepping Santos will host Kaizer Chiefs at the stone, when they host them in their Athlone Stadium in Cape Town, and Absa Premiership League match Bloemfontein Celtic will meet Moat the Giyani Stadium on Sunday roka Swallows at the Seisa Ramabodu afternoon.

According to Leopards’ captain, Mongezi Bobe, they will have nobody to blame except themselves if they give away points on Sunday.

He stated that everyone was mentally and physically fit in the camp and that Amazulu would be given a run for their money. Bobe revealed the team’s killer striker, Rodney Ramagalela, will be available for selection on Sunday after sustaining an injury in their game against St Eloi Lupopo FC in the DRC two weeks ago. The starting time is 15:00.

In the other PSL match- Back for selection: Rodney Ramaligela.

Early in the second half, Stars introduced Ivan Mahangwahaya and Kamokgelo Molapitsi for Phumudzo Ralivhona and Mashudu Nemakhavhani respectively. Baroka responded by replacing David Moseri, Hlabane Kutumela and Oscar Ntsouane for Kuiso Makgahle, Booi Pilusa and Letsoalo Mahoro. Their introduction changed the complexion of the match as the home team kept on running for cover. Thabiso Kutumela got the equaliser for the Mphahlele outfit in the 80th minute after he was afforded space to pick his spot. The players who went into the referee’s book for different infringements were Dion Phiri and Booi Pilusa of Baroka (left) and Lutendo Lutendo Mulaudzi for Stars.

No Land of Legend marathon for 2012 The popular annual Land of Legend Marathon, which was scheduled to take place on 28 April in Thohoyandou, has been cancelled.

The Soutpansberg Athletics Club announced this week that the event will not take place this year.

This after the main sponsor of the event, Thulamela Municipality, withdrew their sponsorship due to the fact that they support federations and not sponsor events. “This withdrawal came at a late stage and we could not negotiate a new sponsor in the limited time available. We as the event organisers have a long and committed relationship with the different stakeholders from the past and we will definitely invite all past stakeholders and potential future stakeholders to attend a planning session for the year 2013,” the club said.
