A queen for the Vhavenda?

By Anton van Zyl

King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana.

The battle to decide who is the real king (or queen) of the Vhavenda seems to be far from over.

Court papers were served on several parties last week informing them of the intention to have the decision to make Toni Ramabulana king of the Vhavenda, declared invalid.

The first applicant in the case is the 21-year-old Masindi

Clementine Mphephu. In the affidavit filed, it is argued that she is the first incumbent to the throne. The second applicant is Mbulaheni Charles Mphephu.

He argues that should Masindi not be considered for the kingship, partly due to gender discrimination, he would be next in line for kingship.

The respondents in the case include Toni Ramabulana, President Jacob Zuma (who announced that Toni will be the new king), as well as the national and provincial houses of traditional leaders. The applicants ask the court to firstly set aside the decision to appoint Toni Ramabulana as king and then to declare that the practice of only installing males as traditional leaders be declared unconstitutional.

Should the court not rule that Masindi is the sole queen of the Vhavenda (or alternatively Mbulaheni as second in line), the applicants ask that the Commission on Traditional Leadership Disputes and Claims be ordered to make a definite ruling on this matter.

The two applicants’ claim to the

top leadership position among the Vhavenda is set out in detail in the affidavit filed by Mbulaheni Charles Mphephu.

In this document he states that he is the eldest son of the late Patrick Ramaano Mbulaheni Mphephu Ramabulana. Masindi Clementine Mphephu is the only child of the late Tshimangadzo Mphephu (who ruled under the name Dimbanyika).

Her father was paramount chief of the Vhavenda and also the second-eldest son of paramount chief Patrick Ramabulana.

Dimbanyika succeeded Patrick as leader of the Vhavenda (the first born passed away before his father’s death.)

In the court documents several refer-

Miss Masindi Clementine Mphephu (21).

ences are made to the findings of the Nhlapo Commission that investigated the kingship claims. This commission confirmed the belief that the Mphephu Ramabulana Royal Family is the custodian of the kingship.

The royal customs The general rules of succession as well as the structures that govern are also described in the affidavit. According to Mbulaheni the mutumeri or Family Structure is very important when decisions about the future king (or queen) need to be made.

Red card for abuse

Men who continue to abuse women and children were told to stop it and were also warned that they had no place in a civilised society.

“We urge women and children to speak out against any form of violence,” said the acting executive mayor of Vhembe, Cllr Lucas Manyuha. He added that women and children should not protect abusers just because they might be the breadwinners of their families.

Manyuha, who represented the MEC for Safety, Security and Liaison, Ms Florence Radzilani, was speaking at the Vondwe sports grounds during the launch of the 16 Days of Activism of Abuse Against Women and Children last Friday.

“We appeal to traditional leaders and the broad public to join hands with the police in giving red cards to criminals and teaching them the lesson that crime does not pay. We can give red cards to criminals by saying no to crime, reporting crime and not accommodating backward practices,” added Manyuha.

Khosi Thavhadziawa Ramaligela, who represented the Vhembe Congress of Traditional Leaders, said he and other traditional leaders were worried about the phenomenon of abuse. He also urged men to speak openly about abuse by their wives and children.

This is not necessarily the biological mother of the king and may be one of the other wives. The second important party is the khadzi, or sister of the reigning queen. This is the most senior female position other than the queen in Vhavenda custom and is the one to nominate a new traditional leader, according to the requirements of customary law and after consultation with the Family Structure and the Royal Council. After the death of the king to which she is khadzi she remains on as advisor to the successor and is then referred to as makhadzi.

The ndumi is the third party involved and he or she is effectively the “secretary” to the king and one of his closest advisors. He is ordinarily chosen from the king’s siblings and is addressed as khotsimunene.

The two other parties are the makhadzi (previous khadzis) and the BaVenda (former advisors or ndumis).

“In terms of a strict requirement of Vhavenda customary law, the ndumi to a king or queen can never be the next king.

This is because the ndumi is one of the closest advisors to the king or queen. It is thus believed that a person in that position would be tempted to kill or displace the king or queen if there was any incentive of succession involved,” states Mbulaheni in the affidavit.

In the affidavit the rules for determining who the next monarch would be, is also stated. Much emphasis is placed on the role of the dzekiso or “candle wife”. The dzekiso is selected by the Royal Council, a supporting structure that customarily comprises brothers and sisters to the king. The Royal Council will pay the lobola for the wife. The first wife the king marries is not necessarily the candle wife and there may also be more than one candle wife, to make provision for instances where the first candle wife may not produce a heir to the throne.

“Ultimately, it is the makhadzi who nominates the next monarch after consulting with the mutumeri or Family Structure and the Royal Council,” states Mbulaheni. The makhadzi follows customary law and the Royal Council invariably accepts such nomination and inaugurates the incumbent.

Should a king die no successor will

be nominated within the first year after his death to give the community time to mourn their leader. During this time an acting regent is appointed and it is often the ndumi who takes up this role. If the successor to the throne is too young to rule, the acting regent will rule until that person is ready to take over.

of the then Royal Council, stating that they “gained the distinct impression that the Royal Council wanted to usurp the throne.” He blames his uncle, David Mphephu (half-brother to his father) for creating the animosity and sowing confusion.

“As a result, the young siblings and peers of Dimbanyika decided to revolt and ousted the Royal Council … I Family structure of the was appointed as the chair of the new Royal Council,” states Mbulaheni.

queen) must come from the Mphephu Ramabulana Royal Family.

“Although Toni brought a claim, the Nhlapo Commission made no finding about who, within the Mphephu Ramabulana lineage, was the rightful king or queen,” states Mbulaheni. He supports this claim by quoting from a speech delivered by President Jacob Zuma in July 2010 where he states that the incumbents “will be determined by a new Commission which will be established soon.”

In January 2010 the Traditional Leadership and Governance Act came into effect and this led to a new Commission being formed. This Commission, chaired by Mr Bagudi Jonathan Tolo, started their work in January 2011 and, according to the court papers, must make recommendations to the President who must then make a decision within 60 days of receiving such a recommendation.

Mbulaheni argues that the Commission has still not made any decision regarding the Vhavenda kingship issue. “… the President has now ignored the pending enquiry of the Commission and gone ahead and wrongly recognised Toni as permanent king,” says Mbulaheni.

High Court Challenges

The President’s announcement that Toni Mphephu Ramabulana will be recognised as the new king of the Vhavenda was quickly challenged by some of the Vhavenda families whose claims before the Nhlapo Commission were unsuccessful. An application for review was initially brought by the Vhangona, but the Tshivhase and Mphaphuli families later joined the dispute.

The application was dismissed by Judge Legodi, but he refrained from making any finding on who out of the Mphephu Ramabulana lineage should be the incumbent, describing this as not part of the (Nhlapo) Commission’s decision.

Just more than a week after Judge Legodi delivered his judgment, President Zuma issued a notice recognizing Toni as king of the Vhavenda. The Animosity decision of the President is severely between families criticized in Mbulaheni’s affidavit According to the affidavit filed and he states that it violates several the relationship between the various sections of the Promotion of Adminfamilies have deteriorated to such an istrative Justice Act (PAJA). extent that even the close advisors to Gender based Toni have threatened to withdraw.

Three killed in suspected love triangle and their girlfriend, Miss Mpho Tutja (25).

A fire-arm was discovered at the scene of the incident.

“We would like to urge people to desist from violence in the event of misunderstandings. They should rather try to resolve their disputes in an amicable manner, or opt for counselling to avoid unnecessary loss of life,” said Marindi.

According to the chairperson of Sanco in Midoroni, Mr James Delekisa, they were aware of reports that the security guard had suspected that his girlfriend had an affair with another man. He abandoned his work and went to the house of the man, only a few metres from the Midoroni clinic.

Here he found the two inside the shack and shot them, after which he allegedly turned the gun on himself.

Mr Mahlodi Tutja, brother of Miss Tutja, said that the family and community were traumatised. He said the death of Mpho had left them with deep wounds that would take some time to heal. “We lost a family member. She was our breadwinner, and she cannot be replaced.”

The manager at the Mamaila Trading Security, Mr Khathutshelo Madima, said the morale in the division was very low after they had lost one of their hardworking staff members. "It is very painful to lose a good member of staff,” he added.

Forensic officers carry the body of one of the deceased.

Residents of the Kutama area are still shocked after three people were killed in a suspected lovers’ triangle at Midoroni on Monday.

According to the police, the circumstances leading to the tragedy are still sketchy, but it is suspected that a security guard shot his girlfriend and her alleged lover, before he turned his pistol on himself.

The SAPS spokesperson for Tshilwavhusiku SAPS, Constable Munyadziwa Marindi, said the deceased are Mr Edward Chauke (44), Mr Azwifaneli KhomuMpho Tutja. nala, a security guard,

Community accuse councillor of abuse

Community members of Ha-Munzhedzi village and Vleifontein accused the Ward 20 councillor, Vincent Mahladise, of abusing his power and manipulating community projects, when he hired people of his choice for an EPWP (Extended Public Works Programme).

The chairperson of Sanco at Munzhedzi, Mr Mashudu Mudau said that members of Ward 20 complained that they were not being considered for employment and pointed fingers at Mahladise.

According to Mudau, they are not against Mahladise, but wanted the right procedure to be followed in terms of employing community members at the project.

“Community members are not consulted prior to appointing people and Mahladise is the one who is manipulating the projects.

What we want as community members of Ward 20 is for our people to be considered for jobs in all projects,” he said.

He added that Mahladise invited the community to come to the hall, but they did not arrive. He then secretly employed people of his choice and submitted the list to the municipality.

Mudau said councillors were welcome to monitor the project.

Sanco and other stakeholders also say that they were not consulted when the councillor hired his people.

According to the Munzhedzi Royal Council member, Muvhango Masindi, Mahladise was not co-operating with his tribal office.

The speaker of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr Lindiwe Mokgale suggests that there is a misunderstanding between the councillor and the community. “We believe that everything will be sorted out,” she said. Mokgale confirmed that she met with Mahladise, the Royal Council, Sanco and the community to resolve the conflict.

They agreed with the councillor that all parties should work together.

Men jailed for 5 years for vehicle theft The Hlanganani Regional Court sentenced three men to five years' imprisonment each for car theft last Wednesday (5 December).

It was testified that Itani Tshivhula (26), Moses Mulaudzi (26) and Denga Mulovhedzi (24) stole a Toyota sedan from a residential house in Elim at around 02:00 on 15 September.

The next morning, they drove to the Nzhelele area where they

approached a scrapyard owner, Mr Gudani Manyatsha, with the intention of selling the car to him.

The prospective buyer opened the bonnet to investigate the state of the vehicle and found that the engine number had been removed.

He then told the three men that he wanted to attend to something indoors and alerted the police.

When the police arrived, one of the accused ran into Manyatsha's house, while his friends

attempted to run away. Manyatsha's two dogs then chased the men and caught them. Police investigations revealed that the car was stolen from Elim and the case was therefore refered to the Waterval police station for handling. In court, the accused had maintained they were innocent throughout the trial. Magistrate NC Mthombeni sentenced all three accused to an effective five-year jail term.

Crime

Man in court for illegal cigarettes A 33-year-old Zimbabwean suspect appeared in the Magistrate's Court in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) in connection with being found in possession of illegal cigarettes.

Lovemore Gambidza made his first appearance in court last Wednesday (5 December) and the case was postponed to 11 December (Tuesday) for a bail application.

On 11 December, the accused presented his bail appli-

cation through his attorney, Mr Desmond Mphaphuli, and was granted bail of R10 000.

According to a police statement, Gambidza was driving in a green Mercedes Benz along the Waterpoort-Mopani road, when members of the police tried to stop him in the early hours of Tuesday morning last week.

He didn't comply but sped off instead.

A chase ensued, until he was eventually arrested several kilo-

metres down the road.

“Police searched the vehicle and discovered 898 cartons of illegal cigarettes hidden in the car,” said the spokesperson for the Waterpoort police, W/O Ezekiel Lishivha. The street value of the cigarettes is estimated at R128 800.

The case was finally postponed to 29 January 2013 for further investigation and the possibility for the case to be transferred to the regional court.

The spokesperson of the Musina Local Municipality, Mr Wilson Dzebu, and the Community Services Manager of the same municipality, Mr Pedron Nndwa, received their hard-earned certificates during a colourful ceremony at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg two weeks ago.

This was after their successful completion of the Certificate Programme in Management Development (CPMD) for Municipal Finance.

The programme was developed after the publication of the Government Gazette 29967 of 15 June 2007, which regulated that the accounting officers, senior managers, chief financial officers and other senior municipal officials must meet certain minimum financial management and supply chain management competency levels by 2013.

The CPMD modules include modules on leadership, municipal legislative framework and policy, municipal strategic planning and implementation, municipal financial reporting and performance management, municipal supply chain management, managing risk in a municipal context, municipal budgeting and implementation, group dynamics, cooperative

governance and stakeholder relations, management of municipal assets and liabilities, cost management, capital planning and IT support, municipal public private partnerships and project management.

The course provides senior municipal officials with an in-depth understanding of the changing needs of today’s municipal service delivery and indicate how it impacts on the economy and service-delivery needs.

CPMD has been designed specifically by Wits Business School, the National Treasury and the Local Government Sector Education Training Authority to support a rollout of targeted skills-training programmes, critical to the implementation of municipal finance management reforms. It also addresses the critical areas of leadership and municipal finance management competencies required to ensure increased capacity for service delivery within the local government sphere.

The CPMD programme is also designed to help students with an understanding of the legislative and policy framework for financial management in local government, help improve ethical behaviour in municipalities, provide an understanding of the role and accountabilities of municipal

officers in the disbursement of public money for efficient service delivery, focus on municipal budgeting process for effective planning and implementation as well as facilitate effective leadership within local government.

Dzebu says the graduation ceremony has injected him with more courage to study hard. “I will study until my last day on earth. I will be studying Developmental Communication with the same institution from February next year.

I would like to encourage other municipal workers as well as managers from other relevant sectors to participate in this programme, which aims to increase and enhance management skills.” Nndwa also says he is determined to continue studying to develop himself for the benefit of the municipality.

“I’m currently studying for the Certificate Programme in Leadership Development (CPLD) with WITS University and I encourage others to follow suit.”

Mayor Carol Phiri was over the moon by the achievements of her two senior municipal officials.

“They have set a standard and we are very proud of them. Their skills will benefit the municipality and we hope that other administrators will learn from them.”

Get the things you need with Nedbank today Mesdames Fulufhelo Nndwa (left) and Grace Dzebu (right) congratulate their husbands, Messrs Pedron Nndwa and Wilson Dzebu, shortly after the two had received their certificates in management development (CPMD) for municipal finance at Wits University in Johannesburg last week.

Suicide after impregnating 15-year-old A 40-year-old Beit Bridge man last week committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree, after he had allegedly impregnated his neighbour’s 15 yearold daughter, police have said.

Police spokesperson, Chief Supt Lawrence Chinhengo said the man’s body was discovered last Friday in a bushy area near

his homestead. “Our preliminary investigations indicate that the deceased and his neighbour’s 15 year-old daughter had sex on numerous occasions and the girl eventually fell pregnant. After the girl’s parents realised that she was pregnant they quizzed her until she revealed everything,” Chinhengo said.

The parents then confronted the man and told him that they would report him to the police.

“We suspect that the deceased was afraid of being arrested. He therefore went to the bush and hanged himself. A suicide note was also found at the scene,” Chinhengo said.

Top awards for three Vhembe teachers Three teachers from the Vhembe district received teaching awards during a ceremony at the Meropa Casino two weeks ago.

Teachers received awards in eight categories, namely excellence in Grade R teaching, primary school teaching, secondary school teaching, primary school leadership, secondary school leadership, special needs teaching and ICT-enhanced teaching, as well as lifetime achievement awards. The MEC for Education, Mr Namane Masemola, said the awards were meant to encourage teachers to work hard for the purpose of improving education in the province. “We have seen positive results since we started with the awards ceremony some years ago. The award creates a

spirit of hard work and this helps in the improvement of results in our schools.”

He said those who did not get awards must not think that it was the end of life. “The most important thing is to develop a positive attitude in everything that one does. You need to believe in yourself and develop a working strategy that you will always stick to,” Masemola added.

“Through the awards we can help our teachers to share their innovative practices and, over the long term, empower our pupils with the necessary skills they need,” said the Masemola. “We welcome innovative teaching practices that inspire and encourage our teachers and ultimately benefit our pupils,” said the MEC. He said it was important

to set realistic goals that could be achieved within a given period in life.

Ms Patricia Ramano was the winner of the primary school leadership category. She is the headmaster of Magovhani Primary School in Ravele village.

Mr Ronald Mufamadi of Tshilidzini Primary collected a trophy and certificate for being the top teacher in the special needs teaching category.

Ms Danelle Barnard, a teacher at the school, presented him with his prize (a satellite dish and decoder and free installation) on 3 December. Mulaudzi’s guess was amazingly close, he guessed 2 576 beans, just one bean less than the actual number of beans! The school thanked Mr Barend le Roux from Audiosat for sponsoring the prize. The closing date of the competition was postponed till 30 November and an amount of R3 000 was raised. “I bought the ticket so that the kids may benefit.

I never thought I would win!” said Mulaudzi.

Border post officials put systems in place to handle huge influx of holiday traffic Officials of the Zimbabwe’s De- put in place mechanisms aimed necessary because an increase The local regional immigration manager in partment of Immigration at the at dealing with the congestion in the volume of traffic during charge of the Beit Bridge border post, Mr Charles Beit Bridge border post have at the border post. This is the festive period is anticipated. Gwede, said they have held a series of meetings with key stakeholders and their South African counterparts on issues revolving around addressing congestion at the border.

Gwede said that they have suspended all leave and off-days for their staff between 15 December and 16 January next year.

“As part of our decongestion drive we will scramble our shifts to maximize manpower during the normal and extra peak days. Gwede said they are expecting 20 officers from other stations to beef up the local staff complement and ensure that all check points and counters are adequately manned.

Beit Bridge Border Post has a staff complement of 47 officers and support staff.

Gwede added that they will categorise travellers and create more counters as a way of reducing queues. Since last Monday they have experienced a sharp increase in the number of travellers passing through the border.

The border handled 73 825 travellers between Monday and Wednesday last week on both arrival and departures sides.

“We want to make sure that people do not spend more than 30 minutes in the queues and those travelling in buses will be cleared according to the Travelers queuing at the Beit Bridge Border Post for immigration clearance last Friday.

vehicle register to avoid unnecessary congestion,” Gwede said. He urged stakeholders to support their efforts to ensure a smooth passage of travellers during the festive period.

Meanwhile, local police spokesperson, Chief Supt Lawrence Chinhengo said they have deployed more officers at the border to enhance security during the festive period. “We have put mechanisms in place to fight crime and more officers have been deployed at the border post and other areas since our major aim this festive season is to ensure that our travellers are safe,” he said.

Chinhengo said they had also tightened security at the border to deter touts and bogus clearing agents from accessing the border area. Touts and bogus clearing agents continue to find their way into the customs yard where they would swindle unsuspecting travellers of their money under the guise of offering assistance.

Traffic

Zero tolerance on Limpopo’s roads “Violate traffic regulations and the basic rules of the road and it will be at your own peril!”

This is the warning metered out by the Department of Roads and Transport in Limpopo to all road users during this festive season.

As the province anticipated high traffic volumes from 7 December, a zero-tolerance approach will be enforced to make a meaningful contribution towards the achievement of the goals of the Decade of Action for Road Safety. The aim is to reduce the rate of road accident fatalities by 50% by 2020. The method is the integration of strict and intensive law enforcement tactics with focused publicity campaigns.

“A string of fatal accidents in our province in the past month, which attracted national headlines, have informed a festive season Arrive Alive campaign that sees the department moving into overdrive and committing all resources at its disposal to ensure the safety of all road users,” says the provincial spokesperson for the department, Mr Joshua Kwapa, in ‘n press release. He warns that reckless and negligent motorists will have no place on the province’s roads.

“Our special focus during this festive season will be on speeding, reckless and negligent driving, driving under the influence, pedestrian safety and public passenger transport. The department will show no mercy to violators of traffic regulations, with our Alcohol Evidence Centre in Polokwane operating 24/7,” Kwapa said.

The total vehicle population in Limpopo, as of 1 October, was 55 5092, of which 28 882 are heavy motor vehicles, 19 467 are minibuses and 4 949 are buses. From 1 to 31 October, a total of 80 745 vehicles were stopped and checked, 866 drivers were arrested for driving un the influence, 244 vehicles were declared unroadworthy, 92 vehicles were impounded, 18 275 fine notices were issued and 1 233 road users were arrested.

“In essence, our campaign has already started and we will continue with these daily operations during and beyond this festive season, closing the net on irresponsible and unlawful drivers and owners,” said Kwapa.

To ensure safety and compliance on the province's roads, with the objective of curtailing crashes, injuries and fatalities, the department will deploy all its available resources. They will also deploy marked and unmarked traffic police and road safety vehicles on identified priority routes daily.

Zim and SA to meet over teargas incident

About 600 young people from various parts of the Vhembe District converged on Makhado (Louis Trichardt) for the official launch of the annual Youth Against Crime project last week.

The official launch took place at the show grounds. The young crime fighters will join police officials at the various clusters in Vhembe, where they will take part in patrols under supervision.

US to increase funding for programmes

Timbercity Makhado donated R30 00 to an orphan, Miss Locrecia Raphebele of Madombidzha, two weeks ago. She received a bursary from the Department of Health in Limpopo to pursue her medical studies in Cuba, but the bursary only caters for tuition and accommodation.

The United States government has promised to increase its funding for HIV and Aids intervention programmes in Zimbabwe.

In an interview with Limpopo Mirror during the national launch of World Aids Day commemorations at Beit Bridge, the US Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mr Bruce Wharton, said his government had pledged to increase the funding of HIV and Aids programmes in the country from this year’s US$92 million under the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPAR) to US$95 million in 2013.

Wharton said his country was the biggest contributor under The Global Fund project. “Although we are the main funders of the Global Fund, we have also engaged in several bilateral arrangements with the Government of Zimbabwe to assist in the fight against the spread of HIV and Aids. We recently gave the Government of Zimbabwe

US$6 million for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission and the ongoing voluntary male circumcision programmes,” he said.

The Global Fund is an international financing organisation that aims to attract and disburse additional resources to prevent and treat HIV and Aids, tuberculosis and malaria. The organisation, which is a private-public partnership, has its secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland. It began operations in January 2002 with Microsoft Corporation founder Mr Bill Gates being one of the first private foundations among many bilateral donors to provide seed money for the project.

The Global Fund is the world's largest financier of anti-Aids, TB and malaria programmes and by mid-2012 it had approved funding of $22.9 billion that supports more than 1 000 programmes in 151 countries.

According to the organisation’s website, it has financed the

distribution of 270 million insecticide-treated nets to combat malaria, provided anti-tuberculosis treatment for 9.3 million people, and provided Aids treatment for some 3.6 million people.

In 2009, the Global Fund accounted for around 20% of international public funding for HIV, 65% for TB, and 65% for malaria.

Wharton commended Zimbabwe, saying it was doing well globally in its HIV and Aids intervention programmes, which saw the prevalence rate declining from 18% in 2005 to 15% in 2010. This has largely been attributed to awareness campaigns, access to treatment and a wider condom distribution. According to the Zimbabwe Demographic Health Survey of 2011, Zimbabwe has recorded the highest condom usage in the world over the last five years, a development that has contributed to the reduction of the HIV prevalence rate in the country.

Zimbabwean police at Beit Bridge rounded up 74 suspects in an on-going operation aimed at cleaning up the border post of criminal activities ahead of the festive period.

Police spokesperson, Chief Supt Lawrence Chinhengo said the suspects, who were arrested between Monday and Thursday during a border operation, included border jumpers, conmen known as guma gumas, and bogus clearing agents targeting travellers passing through the border post.

“We have noted that most criminal activities happen during this time of the year, as criminals tend to capitalise on an increase in the movement of traffic at the border and commotion during peak periods.

We, however, continue to urge travellers to shun guma gumas whenever they approach them.

Immigration and customs formalities are solely the duty of border officials and registered clearing agents,” he said.

Chinhengo said they had deployed more officers at the border and other strategic areas such as the Dulibadzimu bus terminus and major highways to flush out criminals and touts. “We have put mechanisms in place to fight crime and more officers have been deployed at the border post and other areas since our major aim this festive season is to ensure that our travellers are safe,” he said.

Chinhengo said they were conducting several operations throughout the border town “We have intensified our night patrols along our highways, where we have also mounted mobile roadblocks targeting overloaded cars, unregistered vehicles carrying passengers with insecure loads and unlicensed and drunken drivers who mainly contribute to road accidents,” he added.

Incomplete clinics worry Kutama residents Residents in the Kutama area are angry and frustrated about the lack of progress with the construction of two clinic buildings. The projects were supposed to be finished months ago, but still work is continuing at a snail’s pace.

Two separate contractors, Hahlani Trading and Mintirho Business Enterprise, were hired to do construction work on the Kutama clinic and the Midoroni clinic.

The R9.4 million project at the Kutama clinic was awarded for building the clinic and upgrading Mothers had to wait outside before they could sqeeze their way into the old clinic for a consultation. the staff housing complex. The project, according to the minutes of one of the meetings, commenced on 22 October 2010 and contract completion was put for 21 October 2011. The contractor failed to complete the project by the set date and was given an extension of 81 days, which meant that they should have finished work on or by 2 March 2012. “Clinic staff members are working from an old, shaky and dilapidated building while government has coughed up millions for the new structure and the upgrading of old ones,” says the chairperson of the clinic committee, Mokgadi Ralidzhivha. “The delay in completing the project

hampers service delivery to nine villages that solely depends on this clinic for health services.

If things are like this, you can’t blame the clinic staff for a lack of service at the clinic.”

Ralidzhivha claims that Hahlani Trading’s contract was terminated around November 2011 and that a new contractor had since been hired to start from where Hahlani had left off. “This new contractor has also stopped working, because they still owe him money,” she says. “I don’t think that he is even known to the department.”

Meanwhile, the construction of the new clinic and staff housing complex at Midoroni is nearing completion, although it should have been completed on 5 March 2012. Mintirho Business Enterprise, who has received R7.8m of the R12.5m contract budget to date, was granted a time extension of 26 days on 5 March, which ended on 18 April 2012. However, the workers are still busy working at the site six months after this date.

The Limpopo spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Development, Sinenhlanhla Gumede, said that the department was aware of the problems of the two uncom-

pleted clinics. She said that the projects had been put on hold due to budgetary constraints.

“We understand the frustration of the affected communities,” said Gumede. “But we would like to assure the community that the construction work will resume in the next financial year.”

She then assured the communities that the department was still committed to ensuring that they have efficient and accessible primary health care facilities in the area. The department’s financial year starts on 1 April and ends on 31 March the following year.

Gumede did not confirm whether it was true that a new contractor had been sought in place of Hahlani Trading. All attempts to trace Hahlani were fruitless.

The Kutama Traditional Authority still blames the health department for lack of proper monitoring of the two projects.

“We have been doing our job from the beginning, where we monitored the projects,” says the traditional authority chairperson, Mr Gilbert Muofhe. “We don’t understand why the projects haven’t been completed by now.

Our people are crying and our feeling is that the department didn’t manage their things correctly, somewhere, somehow.”

Three men convicted of robbing school The Hlanganani Regional Court convicted three men on Monday on robbery charges which relate to an incident which took place at the Nthabalala Primary School on the night of 9 April 2011.

Mupo Mashaba (26), Cyril Fumani Sithole (19) and Liberty Sithole (33) were all found guilty of robbing the school, situated in Nthabalala village.

A 16-year-old witness for the State testified that he had accompanied the three men from Magangeni (Elim) to HaNthabalala, where the robbery then took place.

The court heard that the accused cut the fence, entered the premises and proceeded to the guard’s house at the main gate.

The guard, who is said to be an old man, came out to investigate.

He saw men coming to him and quickly hit one of the suspects.

The man was later identified as Liberty Sithole. The thugs got so

angry that they started attacking the guard and stabbed him three times with a knife on the back, ribs and buttock. He passed out and they covered him in a blanket, regardless of the fact that he was bleeding profusely.

The men then went on to break into the classrooms and stole school property, which included computers, a water pump and toiletries. After that, they returned to tie up the security guard.

Magistrate NC Mthombeni said that the first State witness’s testimony could not be rejected.

“While the three accused persons before this court gave testimonies which contradicted one another materially, the court finds that the State witness gave credible and satisfactory testimony,” said Mthombeni.

In mitigation of sentence, the accused’s attorney, Mr Matumba, said that in a civilised society like South Africa, the three convicted men needed to be corrected,

so that they could add value to the society. “They all still show signs of youthfulness and are not professional criminals,” the defence lawyer said. “A wholly suspended sentence might serve justice in this case.”

Adv Mokete Rakgokgo, for the State, described the offence for which the accused had been convicted as very serious, where the accused had used dangerous weapons (knives) to injure the security guard.

“Accused number two is a greedy youngster and matriculant who allowed himself to steal from the school which ought to provide him with an education,” said Adv Rakgokgo.

The case was postponed to 30 January 2013 for sentencing.

While Mozambican citizens Mashaba and Liberty Sithole had been in custody all along, Fumani Sithole was also placed in custody since he has now been convicted.

New parking meter system for Makhado

Mr Ebrahim Lakhana shows the two identical receipts as proof of payment.

The Makhado Municipality has introduced a new parking meter system whereby motorists are required to pay a predetermined tariff to a parking attendant.

The acting director of community services in the municipality, Mr Molatelo Kanwendo, said that the parking tariffs are meant to enhance responsibility among motorists and vehicle security within Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

“With the parking meter system in operation, there will be less break-ins and thefts out of motor vehicles,” said Kanwendo.

“We request motorists and community members to co-operate with the parking attendants.”

The parking system operates from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 17:00. Saturday operation starts at 08:00 and ends at 13:00. They are not operating on Sundays and public holidays.

Tariffs are R3,00 (0-30 minutes), R8,00 (30-60 minutes) and R12,00 (60-90 minutes).

Motorists are, however, advised to inform the operator about the parking duration they anticipate to spend in the parking bay and the meter would indicate the money for that period.

“The operator must hand you a display ticket which should be placed on the dashboard of your vehicle,” explained Kanwendo.

He adds that a non-payment ticket could be issued to motor-

ists who fail to pay and such a ticket might be between R50 and R750. According to Kanwendo, information leaflets are currently being distributed to educate the community on how the parking meter system operates.

He said that the project aims to create employment for at least 70 youths in the next three years, who would work as parking attendants.

Rirothe Trading and Investment is the service provider for the parking meter system.

For more information, motorists and community members are advised to contact Robert at 076 624 8585 or visit the parking meter office in the Maranatha Building in Burger Street.

Man claims he paid same fine twice A resident of Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Mr Ebrahim Lakhana, feels as if he was robbed after he was forced to pay a single traffic fine twice.

In his possession he holds two identical receipts which he received upon paying the same amount twice for a traffic fine issued by the provincial traffic department's office in town.

Lakhana said his driver was stopped and given a R700 fine for worn tyres on 22 October.

The fine was paid the same day for which a receipt was issued.

However, on 27 November, Lakhana was arrested by the same traffic officer.

“He said I had failed to pay the fine issued on 22 October,” said Lakhana. “I explained to him that I had paid the fine on the very day it was issued and that I had a receipt at my house as proof of payment, but it seemed he did not understand me.”

Lakhana was escorted to the provincial traffic department’s office in town and detained from around 10:00 until after 14:00.

During his detention, he repeatedly informed the officers that he had paid the fine and asked if they would allow him to go fetch his receipt. They refused to allow him to do so.

He was eventually allowed to leave when he again paid for the ticket. Afterwards he was told to write a letter to the department, asking for a refund since he said he was not satisfied with the whole process.

“They said it might take about seven weeks before I could get my money back,” said Lakhana.

The head of the Roads and Transport department's office in town, Ms Shumani Lavhengwa, declined giving any explanation as to why Lakhana was forced to apparently pay for the same ticket twice.

She said the newspaper should contact the provincial office for any media inquiries regarding this case.

When the Zoutpansberger contacted the provincial spokesperson for the Department of Roads and Transport, Mr Joshua Kwapa, he advised the paper to

send him an email explaining exactly what had happened. A detailed email was sent to him on 5 December and several telephonic follow-up calls were made to him after he had neither acknowledged nor responded to the email.

Kwapa was informed that Lakhana needed to understand why he was not given the opportunity to collect his receipt as proof of payment and the reason why the system was not updated to reflect that the warrant was paid. Lakhana also feels that it would be unfair of him to try and recover the money of the duplicate payment at his own expense, because the traffic department is to blame and not him.

After many attempts to elicit a response from the department, Kwapa said on Tuesday that he wouldn't be able to answer at that stage since he was sick. “I am not feeling well,” he said.

“I am not going to the office.

Send me your phone numbers and I will see what I can do,” Kwapa said.

Education

FabLab gives communities a boost Have you ever thought about taking discarded cool drink cans and car hubcaps and engineering a fashionable and functional coffee table or lampshade?

With the Fabrication Laboratory (FabLab) at the University of Limpopo's Science Education Centre (ULSEC), the line between imagination and reality is being blurred. This can lead to the betterment of local communities, as innovations go from being formed in the mind to being held in the hands.

At a time when news headlines about education and economics in South Africa are often discouraging, the ULSEC is tackling the challenges around education and the economy head-on with its FabLab. The Science Education Centre is proud to have one of the seven FabLabs in the country.

A FabLab is a group of off-theshelf, industrial-grade fabrication and electronic tools, wrapped in open software and programs.

This small-scale version of a production factory can be used by entrepreneurs and community

members to create prototypes ranging from arts and crafts, to engineering and architectural models.

The cross-cutting nature of the fabrication technologies lends itself to basic science, engineering and technology (SET) education, needed to make science and technology both accessible and stimulating among the youth, especially those who have had limited exposure and opportunities with regard to SET. The impact of the FabLab in sparking interest in SET among young people is significant.

At the 32nd Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, 760 finalists from 26 regions in SA, as well as learners from Namibia, Mexico, Lesotho, Kenya and Nigeria, competed. Limpopo Province received eight medals, five of which were awarded to school learners coached and assisted by the FabLab. Access to the UL-FabLab also gives any community a head start in basic engineering and design technologies, and an opportunity to experiment and learn from others, all while

being creative and innovative.

FabLabs enable grassroots inventions by providing a platform through which communities can have access to advanced tools that can help people create products that enrich lives.

The ULSEC FabLab recently made presentations of its programme to Polokwane and Lebowakgomo senior education managers and teachers from the surrounding schools. It also hosted the Department of Science and Technology FabLab implementation unit’s mobile lab for two weeks. During this time there was a tour and demonstrations to teachers in the Mankweng circuit to establish strategically beneficial relationships.

The strength of the FabLab initiative is that users get to complete the concept, design and fabrication process, resulting in products that add tangible value to communities. The fully ‘hands-on’ experience created in the FabLab is that of peer-to-peer learning, which enables anyone to learn, experiment, and bring their imagination to life.

1-0 Victory for Mahematshena Birds

Musangwe season is back again

Mahematshena Flying Birds deposited three points into their league account, following their 1-0 victory over Mutandani Pull Together.

The SAB League match was played at the Mahematshena grounds on Monday afternoon.

Pull Together started the game in the absence of their two key players, Phuluso Ndou and Thuso Mangenge. Ndou and Mangenge arrived 20 minutes after the first whistle was blown.

At that stage Flying Birds had already scored the only goal for the game.

Birds took the lead in the 14th minute.

Their bulldozer striker, Khuthadzo Mushadu, made no mistake after receiving a beautiful pass from TshimangadOscar Siphuma of Flying Birds in action after kicking the high ball. zo Matsea.

Although most of the players of Pull Together looked weary from the onset, their captain, Milingoni Netshidongololwe, remained an energetic element.

The referee, Mr Rabelani Nemushungwa, warned Tendani Mufandilani of Pull Together with a card early in the Two Musangwe fighters in action. second half. He ignored the referee’s whistle and kicked the ball after the whistle was blown.

R245 000, 72 Months, NO DEPOSIT, The age-old sport of bare-fist fighting, popularly known as musangwe in Venda, has been used to gauge the bravery of young and to prepare them for challenges ahead of them in life.

No material rewards were expected during the fights. With the change of times, this old tradition has shifted focus, with many of the participants expecting some form of compensation during the fights. This was started a few years ago, when people who saw a business opportunity in the fights sponsored the tournaments. Some hardcore traditionalists were very much against the idea, saying it was against tradition.

It was only last year that the

organisers of the fights in Gaba and Tshifudi announced that they would like to develop the sport and help those who are capable to make a career out of boxing. The decision has not been in vain and is now paying dividends. One of the champions, Tshifhiwa Munyai, is now a boxer of note. The president of Musangwe in Vhembe, Tshilidzi “Poison” Ndevana, announced the opening of the new season this week. “We had a big meeting at the weekend, which included all stakeholders that are involved in the preparations for this year. We have agreed that we should start early as our champ, Tshifhiwa Munyai, has joined the professional ranks in boxing. We need to work hard

to produce a replacement champion that will be crowned on 3 January 2013,” said Ndevana.

“Preparations have been finalized, we have met the two traditional leaders, Chief Luvhone Mashau of Tshifudi and Bohwana Madzhuta of Gaba, both of whom gave us the green light.

With the blessings of the traditional leaders, nothing is going to stop the season from being a success,” added Ndevana.

“Most of our fighters have the potential to make it in boxing and we are encouraging them to follow boxing and not end up only as unpaid fighters. There is a lot of money in boxing. We are hopeful that we will soon produce a world champion from this area,” he said. One of the participants, Khwathisani “Killer” Ralukake, said he was more than ready. “Anybody who challenges me should be ready for the consequences. I am ready for any challenge,” he said.Vhavenda Vho Frans Mudau, a musangwe fanatic, said he was happy that the season had once more arrived. “This is our tradition and we are happy that we will be able to distinguish between men and cowards in the community."

Dolphins and Santos in draw Although Black Leopards were the first to score, they ended up losing their ABSA PSL match against Free State Stars 1-2 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Saturday.

It took the visitors 19 minutes to make the first goal attempt. Dove Wome unleashed from the left corner but the Leopards keeper, Ayanda Mtshali, refused to see his side concede an early goal. He stretched to the limit to execute a brilliant save.

Leopards’ coach, Mr Ian Palmer, was forced to effect an early change to his starting line-up. The team’s leading goal scorer, Rodney Ramagalela, sustained an injury and he was replaced with Thabo Mongalo. No goal was scored during the first half.

Lidoda Duvha took the lead twelve minutes into the last half. Thabo Mongalo received an excellent pass

from Michael Nkambule and took his time before beating the visitors’ keeper with a ground cutter. Things turned against the home side in the 67th minute when they conceded an own goal.

Anver Esterhuizen released from the centre of the pitch. Although the ball was off target, the Leopards’ left back, Vincent Xakane, deflected it into his own net in an attempt to clear.

Leopards effected two more changes to their original line-up later in the game. They introduced Edgar Manaka and Raymond Manama for Tiyani Mabunda and Michael Nkambule respectively. Stars replaced Moeketsi Mvula with Thapelo Mkhatshwa in the 78th minute. That was a clever move on the part of the Stars coach.

Mkhatswa scored Stars’ winning goal on the stroke of full time following a neat pass from Paulos Masehe.

Both sides made some changes to their starting teams late in the second half, but that did not change the complexion of the match.

The players, Matodzi Maruli of Dynamos and Lufuno Ndou of Stars were booked for rough play. Rasimphi missed the ball in the dying minutes of the game and Percy Munonoka capitalised and scored.

New sport facility for Chavani School The pupils of Chavani, as well as members of the community, were over the moon during the recent official opening of a sports centre at Chavani Primary School.

The construction of the facilities was sponsored by the National Lottery with an amount of R180 000 and is catering for basketball, volleyball and netball.

Thanking the National Lottery for their donation, the principal of Chavani Primary, Ms

Elizabeth Hlengane, expressed the appreciation of the school.

“The donation will enable us to unearth hidden sporting talents.

Our pupils will be able to compete with pride against other schools,” she added.

The chairperson of the lottery board, Prof Alfred Nevhutanda, said they were happy to sponsor new sports facilities to the dedicated and passionate pupils of Chavani.

According to him, the lottery supports sports and community

development projects.

Chief Lesley Mukhari said he was over the moon about the commitment the lottery had made to their community.

"We salute you, and your good helping hand will always be remembered by us," said Mukhari.

He appealed to people to use the facility properly.

Cllr Richardt Thandavhathu, councillor for sport at the Makhado Municipality, said he saluted the Lottery Board for intervening in community projects.

First victory for the pride of Giyani As if they had won a cup final match, it was all joy in the camp of Dynamos after winning their first league match this season. They beat Santos FC in a NFD match at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town last Saturday evening.

The victory has brought some relief to the team’s head coach, Mr Owen da Gama, who is battling to find a winning combination after joining the Giyani outfit

early last month. Dynamos have moved two steps up on the log following the victory.

Dynamos have collected six points from 10 outings so far, one ahead of Roses United and Polokwane City.

Town brutally walloped Sivutsa Stars 5-2 at the Cape Town Stadium. The Capetonians were leading 3-0 at the end of the first half.

Try Again and Ramantsha in 1-1 draw The Limpopo Dairy league match between Madombidzha Try Again and Ramantsha FC at Madombidzha on Saturday, ended in a one-all draw.

The match was characterised by wasted chances on the part of the visiting team’s strikers.

Mpho Masipa wasted an opportunity for Ramantsha, when he missed a shot from the edge of the box after a neat pass from Rofhiwa Mufamadi.

Londy Musiamo dribbled past a number of defenders of Ramantsha, but hesitated too long to release and he was dispossessed.

Although fans started to shout at the Ramantsha technical staff to replace Maanda Malumedzha, it fell on deaf ears. The technical team, however, brought on Tshimangadzo Mufhadi in the place of Geoffrey Lebidi.

Maanda Maladzha scored his team’s goal in the 74th minute.

His team’s celebration was cut short when Mashudu Dikgari Maanda Maladzha shields the ball, while Mahlatse Sengakana pulls him from behind. equalised two minutes later.
