2016 local elections, he stood as a candidate for COPE in a ward in the Thulamela Municipality.

The registered address for Global Bitcoin Investments is a house in an upmarket residential area in Louis Trichardt. Last Friday, a removal truck was parked in front of the house, with workers busy loading expensive furniture.

When the owner of the house was contacted, he said that Nembilwi used to be his tenant. He was not aware of the fact that Nembilwi had registered the house as a business premises. He said that he had recently sold the house and the new owner would be moving in soon. Nembilwi was given notice and moved out. On a question of whether Nembilwi was behind on his rent, he merely answered that “he owes me a lot of money”.

The cellphone numbers supplied for Nembilwi did not work. One of the numbers did not ring and the other was answered by a woman, who denied any knowledge of a Mr Nembilwi.

We tried another contact number, which was for Mr Marshil Makananisa, who worked for the company. When he was asked about Global Bitcoin Investment, he said that he was no longer involved with this company. “I quit,” he said.

When prompted to elaborate, he said that the staff were no longer being paid. He said that five more people working for the company had all left.

“What I know is that a lot of people are complaining about Mr Nembilwi,” he said. He could not assist with additional phone numbers where Nembilwi could be contacted.

A series of questions were emailed to Nembilwi at the official address provided, but he did not respond.

Last week, questions about Global Bitcoin In-

? vestments were sent to the liaison department of the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).

The FSCA was asked whether the regulating and monitoring authority was aware of the BitClub scheme and whether an investigation was being conducted. In spite of sending the email to more officials at the FSCA (after receiving no replies), we had received no responses at the time of our going to press.

Is the BitClub scheme simply an investment too good to be true?

By Anton van Zyl “Is it a scam?”

An easy answer to this would be: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” To check whether the BitClub scheme is legitimate, one needs to check whether the returns promised are realistically achievable.

One investor who is now trying to get his money back says that he was promised one Bitcoin as profit after seven months. He invested in October last year and went for the top-ofthe-range option, which cost him R70 800. The value of a Bitcoin varies and gets influenced by factors such as supply and demand, but in October 2018 it was around $6 320. The cryptocurrency since then took a bit of a nosedive, and in January this year it levelled out at $3 441.

Let’s take May 2019 as the date when his investment “matured” and he would have received his Bitcoin. At that stage a Bitcoin was worth $8 278. Considering the exchange rate at the time, the value of the Bitcoin would have been roughly R121 500. So, for an investment of R70 800 he would have made more than R50 000 profit in much less than a year (and he still had the investment).

To be fair to the company running the investment scheme, one needs to be more conservative and not only listen to promises made by salespeople. On the BitClub website it is stated: “Your anticipated growth in investment is between 3 and 5% per month (based on previous performance). While BitClub does not, and never will, guarantee a return on investment, the 3 – 5 % growth per month is an expected return.

Depending on the profitability of the mining, it could be higher some months, and lower other months.”

Let us take two scenarios – one with a 5% per month growth and the other on 3%. On an investment of R70 800, at 5% per month, the investment would have grown to R127 146 in

we have no money to start off with. Let us also presume that we convince 1 000 people per year to invest their R100 in our little scheme. At the end of the year, the bank balance stands at R100 000. The company pays R25 000 in interest to investors (R25 per person) and the directors take 10% (R10 000) for themselves, which still leaves R65 000 in the bank.

In the second year, another 1 000 people join the scheme, meaning that the interest payment has now gone up to R50 000. The directors again take a moderate 10% of new investors’ money for themselves, but the bank balance is still “fine” at R105 000 (R65 000 + R100 000 – R60 000). All seems to be well, because the early investors have received half their money back and the new investors have earned 25% interest.

The scenario starts changing in year four, when the amount being paid in interest and commission (R110 000) is more than the amount being deposited by new investors (R100 000). By year six, the cash reserves have plummeted to just R15 000 and in the next year the company is in debt and can no longer pay interest. Once word of this gets out, the investors start to panic and want to withdraw their money.

They are in for a shock, because the money is gone.

Many experts believe that the BitClub Network is merely a sophisticated Ponzi scheme.

The chances that it is in the process of falling apart seem to be quite high. At best, this is a very risky investment where the chances of investors’ losing their money are far greater than their gaining any profits.

A very interesting analysis of the BitClub Network appears on the site 99bitcoins.com.

Ofir Beigel dissected the scheme, looking at factors such as where the website is registered and who runs it. He even checked the authenticity of the images of the people supposed to have endorsed the scheme. The article is well worth a read if you still plan on investing in such a scheme: https://99bitcoins.com/anatomy-bitcoin-scam-bitclub-network-analyzed.

profitable for the majority of users,” was McCane’s conclusion.

Factors such as a steep rise in the value of Bitcoin will definitely influence the profitability, but for the period that our local investor took part in the scheme, it actually fell to under $4 000, before recovering again.

Our investor did receive money from the scheme during the first few months. He says that the membership fee ($99) was repaid and thereafter another $500. The total, in Rand value, that was paid to him, was R8 512. If it was an ordinary investment, this would have been Can Bitcoin mining generate better than what he could get at any financial such profits? institution on a risk-free option.

Getting a reasonable estimate of the profitability We will obviously not tell the investors that is then possible.

In an article that appeared on the website Mybroadband.co.za in October last year (which was when the local investor deposited his money), the earning potential of Bitcoin mining is discussed. Jamie McCane, the author of the article, used several examples of “mining rigs”.

A popular choice, the Antminer D3, would need one year and 52 days of mining before it would cover its own hardware cost. In South Africa, such machines would easily run up an electricity bill of over R1 200 per month.

one year (12 months), a profit of R56 346. On a 3% per month growth, the total would be R100 943, with a profit of R30 143.

Compare this to a “normal” investment at a commercial bank. On such an amount it should not be too difficult to get 7% interest per annum.

If the interest gets paid per month, the R70 800 would have grown to R75 918 after a year, a profit of R5 118.

What is clear is that even the 3% per month return on investment alluded to by BitClub by far exceeds any investment option available from a reputable institution in the country. If the BitClub representatives are to be believed, you can easily double your money in a year. It sounds too good to be true … because it probably is.

The hearing was characterised by people clad in ANC regalia.

The DA’s PR Cllr Mafanedza Kwinda emphasised that the government was not in a moral position to finance the bill.

On Politics and Corruption

Vhembe Traditional Health Practitioners Forum’s secretary Matamba Mamuremi berated the government for the exclusionist attitude towards traditional-health practitioners.

A person introduced as an ANC-member praised the introduction of the Bill, which he referred to as a “medical aid scheme”. The district coordinator of COSATU, Shonisani Sigudu, called for the “speedy finalisation of the

When Spotlight approached some of the people to ask why they were leaving early, two said they had other commitments to honour since it was quite late. Three other people said they were leaving because they were hungry, and that the government had not provided catering for the event.

Only towards the end of the public hearing and after the singing of many songs by people wearing ANC T-shirts, the more critical views on the Bill were aired. By then, however, most attendees had left the hall and not more than 100 people were present.

The secretary of the Traditional Health Practitioners Association in Vhembe Matamba Mamuremi berated the government for its “continued exclusion of traditional-health practitioners”.

He called for the inclusion of traditional-health practitioners as service providers under the NHI, so that they can help patients who opt for traditional-health-care services. According to a statement released by Parliament over the weekend, this call was echoed in the other Limpopo districts of Mopani and Sekhukhune where hearings were scheduled.

Mamuremi said that the same opportunities and funds given to private or public health practitioners should also be given to traditional-health practitioners, because they were not mere healers but “doctors” who should be recognised as such. Mamuremi added that they supported the NHI. DA councillor Mafanedza Kwinda slammed the government’s intentions and said it was not in a position to finance this Bill and could not succeed while the country’s health system was not up to scratch.

“I do not support this bill,” he said.

“There are hardly services in our clinics, health-care centres and hospitals.

Government utilises services of private doctors in its health-care centres; these are the very doctors who render shoddy services in the government health-care centres and go on to provide quality services in their own private practices.

These doctors are only in the government health-care centres to seek money and nothing else. They don’t care about people’s health.”

Kwinda was concerned about the idea that the government would pump money into the NHI Fund without any reputable, trustworthy service providers. “Who is going to render those services?” he asked. “People are in need of health-care services and not an NHI Fund that will benefit tenderpreneurs and their allies in government and not the people themselves.”

By the time councillor Mahosi was requested to close the hearing session with a prayer, no more than 15 participants or attendees were left in the hall.

Ndengeza residents now rely on Middle Letaba’s dirty water

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho

Mr Luckson Chabalala and his wife, Ms Francinah Mihambi, had just finished doing their washing at the dam.

Most areas in Vhembe District are ravaged by a lack of water, so much so that it leaves many people wondering if the water problem will ever be resolved.

While some parts of the district have been without water for ages, it becomes a shock for those who have had access to water for ages to start

Some of the children are busy washing clothes while others are drinking water straight from the dam and playing around in it.

experiencing a lack of water.

One of the newest additions in the lack-of-water phenomenon is Ndengeza RDP section.

“We have enjoyed flowing water for as long as I can remember,” said Mhakamuni Mboweni. “You can see how dry and pale our place is, for we have no source of life – water.”

Mboweni said that the residents had been without water for the past five months.

They had to either buy water at R5 per 20-litre bucket or go to draw some at the Middle Letaba Dam at no cost. That is where residents – young and old – wash their clothes as well.

“We now have to push wheelbarrows for two kilometres to the dam to do washing and draw water,” she said. “While the water might be good for washing and rinsing clothes, I don’t think it’s clean enough to drink. I don’t drink that water, but our children drink it when they go there to either bath or wash their school uniforms.”

Middle-aged Mr Luckson Chabalala and his wife, Ms Francinah Mihambi, had just finished doing their washing at the dam when Limpopo Mirror was there. Francinah was pushing the wheelbarrow laden with a basin of wet clothes, with some of the clothes underneath it. Luckson carried a basin of clothes and blankets on his head. “This system of pushing a wheelbarrow and carrying a

basin filled with wet clothes on the head for nearly two kilometres is tiresome,” Chabalala said. “Whom do we cry to?”

Down near the dam wall, some boys were washing clothes and schoolbags, while other boys and girls were swimming. Two older boys arrived, carrying fresh sticks, and started hitting those who were swimming, reprimanding them and driving them out of the dam. “What if you drown?” shouted one of the stick-holders. “We only come here to do washing and draw water, and not to swim!”

Another resident, Ms Rhandzu Maluleke, the mother of five children, said that her family suffered as she was not earning a living and having to buy water at R5 was therefore unaffordable.

“I am unemployed, and three of my five children are above 18 years of age, which clearly means that I am no longer receiving any social grant for them,” she said. “We are all surviving on the younger children’s social grant and that’s not enough to feed all of us.

So, getting to buy water is just another burden.”

Mopani District Municipality’s spokesperson, Odas Ngobeni, acknowledged receipt of our media enquiry and said that he would provide the municipality’s comment in due time.

“Many artists had come and gone but their music lives with us – and it shall live with us forever,” he said. “In their music, we find direction as today's generation of artists. We don't have to be them, for they had played their part by being original – so let's be authentic too.”

Jah Soldier is keyboard player of note who has worked with many other artists both on stage and in the studio. He is also a guitarist whose guitar is known for “speaking”. He writes and composes his own songs.

“I discovered my talent at an early age, and after school I used to play my home-made guitar at Dzanani Musanda’s while other children were playing soccer or playing with bricks as cars,” he said. “Then, in 1991, I went to Mr David Mureri's church at Dzanani and was

taught how to play keyboard by the late Mr Emmanuel Mamphogoro. From those very days, I have not looked back.”

He holds the view that music is medicine for the soul and an avenue for self-discovery. “When one is lost, one finds his way in the rhythm of a good song,” he said. “Music can teach people how to behave well and it can remind one to stand up and do what they love without hurting others. As artists, we have been using music as a tool to wage war against drug and alcohol abuse for ages.”

He looks up to Colbert Mukwevho as a legendary artist whose music has motivated him through the decades. “I discovered his music when I was still an infant, and now, after many decades, he's still producing good, timeless music,” he said.

Jah Soldier has three solo albums. His latest album is entitled Nndededze (Guide me). He won the 2015 TSHIMA award for Best Reggae album.

Jah Soldier's name is Tendani Maiwashe and he resides at Mbilwi. He is available on Facebook and can be reached on 072 532 3983.

Vhembe gospel star

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho The ever-shining Limpopo gospel star, Lufuno Phalanndwa, was the most nominated artist during the Limpopo Gospel Music Awards (LIGMA) nomination party that was held at the Fusion Boutique Hotel in Polokwane on Saturday night.

Phalanndwa, from Ha-Mutsha village, received seven nominations for his début album, Midnight Hour Worship, which was recorded live at the Ha-Mutsha Community Hall in December 2018.

The Shela Muya hit maker was nominated for the Newcomer of the Year, Best Gospel Album of the Year, Best Male Artist of the Year, Best Gospel Artist of the Year, and Best Worship Song of the Year for his hit Nga a rendwe, on which he features Grace Mulaudzi. The popular Shela Muya song scooped two nominations, that of Best Collaboration Song and the coveted Song of the Year.

He beamed with joy and excitement for receiving so many nominations, and he was quick to direct all the

praises to the Lord, saying all the nominations were made possible by God. “I worked so hard in preparation of this album,” he said. “I worked with the best team and my manager was on our case, ensuring that quality was never compromised.”

Mr Shela Muya, as Phalanndwa is affectionately known in the gospel fraternity, is managed by Mr Robert Netshiunda of Mukurob Music.

Phalanndwa is not new to top-notch recognition in the gospel industry.

On Sunday, he will wait with bated breath at the Durban International Convention Centre where he is tipped to win the Best Gospel Collaboration Song and Best Worship Song at the SABC Crown Gospel Music Awards ceremony. Before the SABC Crown Gospel Awards nomination, Phalanndwa fell short of a victory at the Tshivenda Music Awards, where he was nominated for Best Tshivenda Gospel Album of the Year.

The Limpopo Gospel Music Awards ceremony will be held at the Meropa Casino Hotel on 7 December 2019.

Radio is in Ronewa’s DNA Meet Ronewa Davhana, our Tshivenda newsreader.

Ronewa grew up in Mpumalanga and was raised by her grandmother.

She said her love for media started when she was very young and it made her compete in every media-related competition at school.

“I grew up in a music- and radio-loving family. My father is a radio presenter and also a reggae singer. My mother was his backup vocalist,” she said. “This fuelled my love for radio, because I look up to my parents.”

“As a 19-year-old girl who is still trying to find herself, I am very grateful for the opportunity I got here at Nzhelele FM, because they welcomed me with open hands and I am enjoying working as a radio presenter.”

New studios take Phalaphala to next level The SABC’s Limpopo division launched its first multi-purpose and technologically advanced studios at Phalaphala FM and Thobela FM last week.

The studios are described as ground-breaking for the organisation, as the SABC is continuously transforming into a public-service broadcaster operating in the digital era. The studios are fully-fledged news and sports studios, able to interchange between delivering news as well as sports content, which are produced differently. The new studios will add a new look and feel to many programmes, as a variety of sets can be used within the studio.

Rofhiwa Nethengwe of Phalaphala FM was the first to go live in one of the new studios, with her programme Nne na Vhone from 09:00 last Tuesday.

The refurbishment process started in August this year, as part of the RB85 (Foyer Studio Upgrade) project that started in 2016 and was scheduled to be completed by the end of September. During the period of refurbishment, the two stations (Phalaphala FM and Thobela FM) were relocated from the reception area to broadcast programmes from the news and current affairs studios.

Only five of these studios exist worldwide, and these two are the first on the African continent. Installed with Glacier consoles that have never been launched in the world, they offer highly customizable broadcast audio solutions that provide comprehensive control, flexibility and interoperability for any on-air application.

According to Fikile Manekehla from Broadcast Engineering Services, the studios are highly digital and much easier to navigate than the OA3000 system. Each offers a central touch-screen module, featuring a vibrant display for easily assigning and accessing glacier graphical user interface (GUI) controls, such as the headphone, loudspeaker and talkback controls.

“The GUI controls can be personalized to match the technical requirements of each user, displaying all the controls they need and hiding those they don’t. More technical users can view as many detailed controls as they wish, while the less experienced can create simpler interfaces with only the functions and controls they need,” said Manekehla.

Assisting with the commissioning of the studios was a studio engineer from the UK, who also provided training to the technical team. The SABC Limpopo’s acting general manager, Mr Freddy Sadiki, said that “this milestone comes at the right time for the SABC and our promise to all South Africans is to provide high-quality programmes delivered through various innovate ways enabled by technology”.

Quitting her job to focus on studies has borne fruits

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho A mother and wife, who had quit her full-time job to pursue her studies, was awarded a doctoral degree in applied chemistry and is now aiming to help rural communities through water remediation and purification.

Dr Denga Ramutshatsha-Makhwedzha, who

will form part of the group of academics who will supervise and train young graduates in the field of water remediation and purification, believes that her skills and knowledge will be an added advantage in the current water crisis faced by the communities in Limpopo.

“My journey in science began at an early age and got cemented while I pursued my tertiary education,” she explained. Dr Makhwedzha-Ramutshatsha matriculated from Mphaphuli High school in 1999. She obtained a national diploma in chemical engineering, a bachelor of technology degree in chemical engineering, and a master’s degree in chemical technology from Tshwane University of Technology.

She was fortunate enough to get a scholarship from the National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst – German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), which funded her full-time doctoral study.

“A PhD is a long, assiduous journey, and I had produced and published papers in international peer-reviewed journals and other manuscripts under review along the way,” she said. “I was so excited when I was presented with the Excellent Shotgun Presentation Award at the 2nd International Caparica Conference on Pollutant Toxic Ions and Molecules that was held in Caparica, Portugal, in 2017.”

She is the 2018 Black Woman in Science (BWIS) fellow, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to deliver capacity development for young black female scientists.

“I thank my husband, Mr Reuben Ramutshatsha, who had encouraged and supported me in pursuing my studies when I quit my full-time, paying job,” she said. “Today I am a doctor because of my family’s tremendous support. I further thank my parents, Mr Solomon Makhwedzha and Mrs Lufuno Makhwedzha. I also thank Pastor Dr MP Ragimane and Pastor ME Ragimane, for spiritual guidance.”

Other concerns raised by the residents were bad roads and the lack of water supply.

Mr Obed Muimeleli urged community members to work together in combating crime.

A councillor from the N’waxinyamani area came to the rescue of an indigent resident when he arranged that a brand-new house be built for him.

Mr Eric Mashaba has been living under extremely difficult circumstances for quite some time. “When sleeping in my dilapidated, roofless hut, I could see the moon from the inside. During heavy rains, we would go and ask for shelter in the neighbours’ huts,” he explained.

This situation is about to change as a new brick building is taking shape.

Cllr Nditsheni Musandiwa explained that they asked the community and different structures to nominate an indigent family. “We wanted to identify those without proper shelter and who usually don´t know where their next plate of food will come from,” he said.

The name of Mr Mashaba was mentioned, and the gears came in motion.

Mashaba lives with his sister and her children in a dilapidated one-room hut.

one-room mud house and imagined the pain he was going through,” said Musandiwa. “The little I can do to change people´s lives will give me peace of mind, and I will continue doing this in as much as God wishes me to do,” he said. Mashaba can still not believe how much his fortune has changed. “It still feels like a dream,” he said. “They restored our dignity in a way that we didn’t expect.” Mashaba extended his heartfelt gratitude to Cllr Musandi-

wa. He said that most of the family there were unemployed people and they needed to get assistance from the community.

“As councillors we have to take care of the poor,” Musandiwa added. “We have big challenges of unemployment and poverty in our communities. Those who are blessed should share their blessings with the less fortunate. I appealed to local businesses to be of help to the community, and they did,” he said.

Nemavhola is a beacon of hope

By Mbulaheni Ridovhona “It hurts and it is embarrassing when you are menstruating and you can’t afford sanitary pads,” said Ms Mercy Nemavhola, the founder of Stop The Spot Youth organisation. Her organisation aims to support less fortunate girls by providing them with free sanitary pads.

According to Nemavhola, some girls miss school days every month because they cannot afford sanitary pads. “Poverty is not a choice.

Nothing hurts more than being poor to the extent that you can’t even get R10 to buy the cheapest sanitary pads. Most girls end up dating sugar daddies in order to have a better living,” she said.

“Many young girls come from poor families and their parents can’t afford to buy pads for them. Some rely on old clothes. They tear them up and use them as a pad, which is wrong be-

cause she might get infections,” she added.

The 23-year-old from Tshipako Muramba Village said that the non-profit organisation was started last year. “We want to stop each and every spot that hinders the youth of South Africa from becoming better versions of themselves through motivational talks, modelling, youth talk seminars, acting dramas, writing books, playing soccer, and donating items such as clothes, toiletries, graduation attire, matric-dance attire, stationery, sanitary pads and food to destitute families,” she said.

She is currently studying for an honours degree in guidance and counselling at the University of Venda. “I propose that the government provide pads for poor people. Sanitary pads are very important. We need them more than we need condoms. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s donate sanitary pads to better someone’s life out there,” she said.

For donations she can be contacted at 0823432960 or write to Stopthespot2018@gmail. com.

Chief Livhuwani Matsila, who is the founder of the Matsila Community Development Trust that employs more than 500 workers, pleaded with community members to show interest in destination marketing with a view to attracting tourists from abroad to visit their places and boost the local economy.

“We then have to make sure that we will be able to change the situation and make sure that tourists can feel secure and they are not raped,” he said. Matsila said tourism largely contributed to job creation and was a driver of socio-economic growth and sustainable development.

Polokwane City Academy are languishing at the bottom of the log with 3 points. The other relegation candidates are Mighty FC and Baraccah Valley FC.

With Mikhado FC and Tshakhuma RO Nandilani (TRON) blowing hot and cold, Venda Football Academy (VFA) remains the only hope for the residents of the Vhembe District. VFA enhanced their promotion chances by beating Polokwane United 2-0 in their ABC Motsepe League match at the Tshifudi Stadium on Saturday.

The Tshifudi-based side jumped from the fourth to the second position on the log, following Saturday’s hard-fought victory. VFA have deposited 18 points into their league account to date, three fewer than the pace setters, Magezi FC. Both VFA and Magesi have played 10 matches so far.

Black Leopards away to try and collect more points

By Frank Mavhungu The Absa Premiership affiliates will be in action again from next Tuesday after a break of three weeks.

After beating Cape Town City 1-2 at the Thohoyandou Stadium in their last match, Black Leopards are geared to collect more points at the expense of Chippa United, with whom they will lock horns at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth next Wednesday.

Should they manage to beat the only Eastern Cape side, Leopards, or Lidoda duvha as they are affectionately called, are likely to move from the 11th to the eighth position on the log.

Chippa’s performance improved remarkably after their appointment of the Zimbabwean national, Mr Norman Mapeza, as the team’s head coach towards the end of last month. Chippa registered their first league victory for the season three weeks ago with Mr Mapeza sitting on the team’s technical bench for the first time in a league match.

They beat Amazulu 2-0.

Should he be given a chance, Meshack Maphangule, Chippa’s midfielder, will be

rubbing shoulders with his former teammates.

Maphangule was a player of Black Leopards until his contract expired at the end of last season.

Leopards will welcome their midfielder, Khuliso Mudau, back in their match against Chippa United. Mudau was on suspension for two matches after seeing red in their game against Highlands Park at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa last month.

Also on Wednesday, Baroka FC will host Lamontville Golden Arrows at

the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. Maritzburg United will entertain Supersport United at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg. Bloemfontein Celtic will host Cape Town City at the Dr Molemela Stadium in Bloemfontein. The other Wednesday fixtures are Stellenbosch FC vs Kaizer Chiefs, Highlands Park vs Bidvest Wits, Mamelodi Sundowns vs Amazulu and Orlando Pirates vs Polokwane City.

Back from suspension.
