Two killed in mob justice

By Kaizer Nengovhela A man who was released on parole and who had allegedly terrorised the community around Tshirenzheni, Dopeni, Tshikombani and surrounding areas met the wrath of angry residents when he was beaten to death and set alight at Tshirenzheni last Saturday.

The man, Kenneth Nematswerani (37), died of his injuries. The incident happened after angry residents accused him of being behind a spate of crimes, such as rapes, robberies and housebreakings. The last straw was when the accused allegedly raped two girls around the area and his case was reported to the Siloam Police.

Nematswerani was released on parole in June last year after he had spent 11

years of a 20-year sentence in prison for rape. He was arrested again at Mphephu in August for robbery and released in October because of a lack of evidence The angry community beat them up and paraded him naked through the village before setting him alight.

In another incident, which happened at the weekend at Rabali, an 18-year-old man met the same fate.

He was beaten and set alight after being accused of rape. The man, allegedly a Zimbabwean national, had not been identified yet at the time of our going to press.

Residents said they had had enough of the criminals who roamed the streets, disturbing the peace of the village, robbing people and attacking them and raping them at will. “We are fed-up, and this is a strong message to all out there

who are terrorising our community.

This is what they will face. We will not fold our hands when our lives are in danger,” several angry residents said.

According to members of the community, they are “sick and tired of the police arresting criminals and then, within weeks, they are released”.

The spokesperson for the SAPS in Limpopo, Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, said that he was concerned about the fact that the community had taken the law into their own hands. “We are always discouraging the community from this practice. If a crime is committed, the community should call the police and let the officers do their jobs. People should take into consideration that taking the law into their own hands is a downright criminal offence,” he said.

The 38-year-old Muyahabo Sadiki and her mother, Johanna Sadiki (59), were arrested by the police. They appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, facing charges of assault and attempted murder. The case was postponed to 27 January for further investigation.

Johanna was released on bail of R2 000, but her daughter, Muyahabo, was remanded in custody.

The SAPS in Makhado has launched a search operation, following the disappearance of a 21-year-old woman, Natasha Hadebe, who resides in Louis Trichardt.

Natasha allegedly left home on 16 January 2020 in the morning, intending to go shopping at a local tuckshop, but she never returned.

The family tried to locate her at various places, without success, until the matter was reported to the police. They immediately activated a search operation, but all in vain.

No description of the type of clothes the woman was wearing at the time of her disappearance could be given. The police investigations and search operations are still underway.

the current appointee) was the principal at Gondeni and had no good track record at her former school, “and we are also worried about the redeployment of one of the laziest educators, who was chased from Tshivhulani Primary, to us in our school. We are also worried that the circuit manager told us about gender equity when appointing principals, but it seems equity was misapplied and coined to favour individuals who are closely related to senior officials in the Vhembe education department”.

He claims that the process is marred by corruption and nepotism.

The traditional leader of Mbaleni village, Chief Lukheli Mphaphuli, said he needed better education for learners in his village. He added that all forms of corruption and nepotism regarding the appointment of a new principal and the redeployment of another educator to Mbaleni Primary must be investigated speedily.

Limpopo education spokesperson Mr Sam Makondo told Limpopo Mirror that he found it disappointing that parents who should be protecting the education of their own children were chasing learners from a school.

“It cannot be good that where challenges exist, parents chase the learners from the school. Learners must be in class, while the department, together with the parents, are looking into their concerns,” said Makondo.

The mayor of Musina, Cllr Mihloti Muhlope, sent condolences to the family of the well-known academic and community builder who recently passed on. Muhlope said that, despite being in mourning, the people of Musina and beyond

should celebrate the life of the deceased, who had been an inspiration to both young and old. “As government, we are deeply touched by the passing of this great man.

His skills as a renowned

educator have added very great value to what Musina is today. It is educators like him who brought light to many of us who are professionals today. Indeed, we are deeply touched by his departure here on earth.”

She said Mabyalane’s life had been well lived and was worth celebrating. “He may be gone but his contributions will never be forgotten.

We thank God for giving us this wonderful gift in him. His spirit will continue to guide us in our community-building initiatives, and we shall live with his legacy forever.”

said her uncle had been a pillar of strength, a motivator and a community builder in his own right. “His departure is a terrible loss to the family because we regarded him as a family cornerstone. As a very wise man, we depended on him for advice and we will always remember his wisdom and love of education.”

She said although the family was mourning, the support from friends, community members and various stakeholders was well received by the mourners. “This clearly demonstrates that my uncle was a people’s person.

We are very grateful to have had someone of his calibre in our family. His wisdom will live with us forever.”

Well-known soccer referee buried at Ravele

By Kaizer Nengovhela

Local soccer referees pay their last respects to the late Steward Mathekgane.

Thousands of mourners from different parts of Limpopo attended the funeral of local soccer referee Mr Steward Mathekgane at Ravele on Saturday.

Mathekgane died last Monday at the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital after a short illness.

Mr Mpfariseni Musekwa, representing the Makhado Local Football Association, said the football family had lost one of its pillars, who had always been working hard towards the development of soccer. “The whole region was shocked when we heard of his untimely death.”

Musekwa said that the deceased was not participating in soccer for glory or money.

“Being a developer for other up-and-coming referees is very difficult, but Mathekgane was doing it while using his own resources, because he had a passion to develop his own young, rural boys,” he said.

The man who mentored Mathekgane to become a soccer referee, Mr Khwara Madula, said the area had lost an icon in the soccer fraternity “who has made an enormous contribution in terms of developing and nurturing the talent of black people.

We will remain celebrating his contribution of improving the lives of our people”.

A family member, Mr Kenneth Malada, said that Mathekgane had played a big role in uplifting the standard of soccer and education in the local community.

Mathivha and Ludere get Vhembe ANC support

By Maanda Bele The ANC structures in the Vhembe region pledged their support for advocate Makonde Mathivha as regional chairperson, with Rudzani Ludere as the choice for regional secretary.

The Mphephu community hall in Dzanani was packed to capacity on Saturday for the memorial lecture in honour of the late Lion of the North, comrade Peter Mokaba. The event was attended by different ANC branches in the Vhembe region.

The majority of the more than 1000 people who attended the lecture seemingly supported Mathivha and Ludere and sang songs to show their preferences.

Speaking at the memorial lecture, Ludere indicated that the

time had come to take the ANC back to its members. “During elections, ANC members are the ones who do groundwork and campaign for the party, but when business opportunities come, they are given to girlfriends, friends and families.

That must stop,” he said.

Ludere also indicated that the pair would show their support to axed VBS-linked ANC members such as former Vhembe District mayor Florence Radzilani and Danny Msiza. “Why are you asking them (VBS-linked ANC members) to step aside if they are not charged, and for how long must they step aside?” asked Ludere.

Mathivha asked his followers to put their fears aside and work on re-building their image. Their campaign is known as One Way, One Direction.

improve on this year’s matric results. The parents must also continue supporting the school,” she said. Gangsterism, substance abuse and lack of resources have been identified as some of the contributing factors for underachievement.

The MEC was confident that the school would improve its matric results this year. She said if the school managed to get 77% in 2017, it could still improve in 2020. “As the department, we will provide the school with uniforms for learners from disadvantaged families,” she said.

Rakgoale also visited Tswime Secondary School and Miriyavhavha Technical School.

The two schools obtained a pass-rate of 37.9% and 60.7% respectively. She was accompanied by the Makhado Mayor, Samuel Munyai, and senior managers of the Department of Education.

encouraged young people to take education seriously.

One of his sons, Mr Isaac Mapfumo-Netshiungani, said his father had been a giant and a pioneer in business and had done many things for his community of Shakadza and surrounding communities. He had helped poor people and payed the tuition fees of learners at tertiary level.

“Our father inherited many children, not his own blood children, stayed with them and took care and helped them to further their education, some up to tertiary education. We saw him as a man of love, who also taught us some business skills, the ones we are using in advancing our businesses,” said Mapfumo-Netshiungani.

Pastor Mapfumo-Netshiungani (80) passed away two weeks ago in Thohoyandou after a long illness and was buried in his home village cemetery in Shakadza on Saturday.

Thousands of people from all corners of the area and as far as Gauteng attended the funeral.

Pastor Edwin Mashau of the church’s branch in Nzhelele said he wanted the children of the late Mapfumo-Netshiungani to continue making the businesses of their father grow bigger and bigger and the pastors who had served under him to continue making the church grow as they did not want the church to stop operating because the founder was no more.

Reading the obituary, Mr Malachia Nemalale said the late Mapfumo-Netshiungani had worked hard to develop his village of Shakadza.

He started his businesses back in 1976, and developed restaurants, shops, supermarkets, petrol stations and his brickyard, which was the first of its kind in Niani area.

“On his way, he started to love God dearly and followed his ways. He started with the Zion Church and later founded the Apostolic Faith Church of Portland Oregon in Shakadza village in 1979 and was the pastor until he passed away.”

The late Mapfumo-Netshiungani is survived by his wife, Ms Elisa Mapfumo, and four children, David, Tshisa, Isaac and Tshifhiwa.

Mudimeli’s top performers in 2019 get rewarded for all the hard work

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho

Mudimeli Secondary School rewarded its best-performing pupils for the 2019 academic year during a ceremony that was held at the school’s grounds on Friday.

The school scored an 87.4% pass rate for Grade 12 in the 2019 academic year.

The Soutpansberg North Circuit’s manager, Dr Sampie Phaswana, encouraged pupils to take advantage of the available sponsorships that would enable them to further their education at tertiary level.

“I advise you to create a personal study timetable as soon as from January, so that you have great chances of passing with flying colours at the end of the year,” he said. “The early bird catches many worms.”

Take Shape Property Man-

agement’s managing director, Mr Solly Ramalamula, who had donated R36 000 towards the award ceremony, expressed his joy in supporting the school. He stated that the award ceremony was aimed at encouraging the pupils to take education seriously.

“Our company has 150 employees, of which 20% come from Mudimeli, and we still need more people from this village,” he said. “However, we are tired of people flooding our offices and saying they need any job, which leaves us with no option but to outsource from other provinces. So, prospective job seekers must equip themselves with relevant and specific qualifications.”

Take Shape Property Management awarded the best pupils from Grade 7 to 11, together with their educators, with

R500 vouchers and certificates.

The three best achievers in Grade 12 received vouchers and certificates, while overall best performer Arehone Muremi also received a laptop. Takalani Mphephu and Anza Maphutha were awarded vouchers, tablets, trophies, and certificates.

Four educators were also acknowledged for their hard work in producing some distinctions.

They are Mr Alfred Mafukaduvha (platinum certificate for obtaining distinction in history), Mrs Mulatedzi Radebe (platinum certificate and tablet for producing 100 pass in Tshivenda and four distinctions), Mr Ambani Maphaha (certificate and tablet for being the most disciplined educator) and Mrs Mercy Mathurana (who was voted the most dedicated educator of the year).

The winners are, from left toright, Mutondi Linda Nethononda, Judy Muravha and Vhanzhi Ramukumba. Photo supplied.

Dipeni pageant continues to help new models chase their dreams Muravha, who hails from Matshena village, said that the pageant had enabled her to realise her potential. “It has boosted my self-confidence and taught me communication and leadership skills,” she added. She is currently studying mechanical engineering at Musina TVET College.

During the event, Mutondi Linda Nethononda was chosen as first princess while Vhanzhi Ramukumba became second princess and Anointing Mahafha won the Miss Public Choice title.

By Mbulaheni Ridovhona Eighteen-year-old Judy Muravha was crowned Miss Venda Niani on Saturday during an event held at De Gebs Park in Muswodi Dipeni.

She told Limpopo Mirror that the crown came as a surprise to her. “I still don’t believe that I am the winner, because the competition was tough. I’m very excited to win my first pageant. I feel so honoured and humbled,” she said.

The founder of the pageant, Ms Sedzani Mudau, said that the pageant’s aim was to motivate and inspire young women to focus and believe in themselves. “We want them to pursue their dreams, while boosting their confidence and empowering them to embrace their uniqueness,” she said.

The pageant was sponsored

by Arise and Shine Foundation, KDS, Rio Authentic Wear, GardenBoy, Phophie Lifestyle and Boutique, I-Model and Manngwe Foundation.

Instead of throwing a party to celebrate her 28th birthday, Fulufhedzani Mulovhedzi donated sanitary pads to Khwara and Vafhamadi Secondary School in Musina on 15 January, her date of birth. Mulovhedzi donated 700 packs, of which she managed to collect 650 packs and the remaining 50 were donated by Dr Muila Khuliso, her friend. Mulovhedzi, who is a diagnostic radiographer at Musina Hospital, regularly reaches out to the needy community. Last year, on Mandela Day, she donated blankets and food to several refugees staying at Matswale men’s refugee shelter in Musina. Here she is photographed among learners at Kwara Secondary School.

Pupils of Mudimeli Secondary School were rewarded for their hard work.

Python at chicken coop traumatizes family

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho An encounter with a python that arrived at night to steal some chickens and pigeons left a Maelula family both shocked and frustrated. All their pleas for assistance to catch and relocate the snake were in vain and eventually

they had to hurt the snake to scare it off.

The incident happened last Monday (13th) at the mountain-top home of the Makhari family. The 57-year-old Mr Edward Makhari explained that he was awakened at about 21:40 by the sound of a knock on his door. It was his son,

Avoid Makhari, who had come to inform him that noises were coming from inside the chicken coop.

“He told me that the chickens were making a hysterical noise, and I immediately went to investigate. When I arrived there, I found that everything was in order,” Edward Makhari said. “I

went back to bed.”

However, at 23:30 the noise started again, and this time the sound was of the maddened frenzy of chickens scurrying in the coop and bashing into the steel sheet walls.

“My son and I went out to check on the chickens. I used my phone torch to check around the coop through the mesh from outside and saw a huge python pinning down one of the chickens,” he said. “It had already covered the chicken with its thick, slippery saliva, ready to devour it. I kicked the coop so hard that the python left the chicken and started slithering about the coop, with chickens and pigeons fluttering around in fear.”

Makhari then called the police at Siloam, who instructed him to contact the Makhado police for assistance. “The Makhado police said there was nothing they could do, and that left me flabbergasted and frustrated,” he said. “I kept calling different police stations and individuals seeking help.

Tshifhiwa is a gift to her listeners

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho The 25-year-old Tshifhiwa Sibadela seems to have found the right platform from which she can effectively communicate with thousands of people at Makhado FM. A BA Media Studies graduate, Tshifhiwa stated that she had aspired to become a communicator, informer and entertainer from an early age.

She joined Makhado FM as a co-host of Maswamaswa current affairs. After that stint, she held the helm of the Tibu show between 00:00 and 03:00 on weekdays.

“I fell in love with the radio many years ago, and I cherished this dream until I came to realise it,” she said. “Radio has a community of its own, which comprises listeners from many villages, towns, prisons, workplaces and hospitals. This is a community that has come together in the listening and interac-

tion space and become one.”

She had attended Mudunungu Primary School and Patrick Ramaano Secondary School.

“I was doing commercial subjects in high school and because of that my mom thought I would study for a B Com degree,” she said. “But by that time, I had fallen in love with radio already. I had to choose a course that included communication and media studies, and thus far I am proud of my decision.”

Tshifhiwa loves good music and the company of loyal, respectful people who all enjoy life. That many listeners see

her as a gift to them because of her excellence in communication skills is therefore no wonder.

Art & Entertainment Hulisani ignites ladies’ hopes

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho “My failures are my motivation – they teach me to be uncomfortable and prise me out of my comfort zone to a stage where I stand strong, knowing that I am capable.”

Hulisani Mushiane, née Siobo, discovered her writing talent at the age of 15 when she kept a consistent journal. Now, many years later, she is using all her early experiences to write instrumental books on success and motivation.

Her published books are Unlocking tough doors to success – 10 keys every woman should know and 60 days of bravery – 60 days devotions to help you unlock tough doors to your success.

“I was too scared to talk to my parents or friends about issues of life,” she said.

“So, I used to write everything in my journal. I was an introvert, so writing was my strong point since socialising was not.”

A resident of Ha-Budeli village and Pretoria, Hulisani attended many schools in different provinces since she had moved from one place to another for the most part of her life. Schools she attended include, among others, Dansa International College in Pretoria, Mbilwi High School, and Tshikevha Christian School.

“I find the writing process quite exciting, like any journey in life,” she said. “When a child goes to Grade 1, they become so excited that they already know they want to become a doctor when they finish school. Little do they know that there is mathematics, which will need commitment, dedication and discipline. I had a similar experience while writing my first book. I was just writing to express myself since I was going through a lot at that stage.”

However, she had to undertake some topical research to determine the challenges that women generally face in life. “It was very helpful, and it made me think deeply and broadly about myself as a woman and the power (influence) we carry. We need to discover our purpose and pursue self-love.”

She is a businesswoman who also leads by example that juggling family life and business and social commitments is possible. “I studied analytical chemistry at Tshwane University of Technology, and I am a qualified assessor.” Hulisani's books help women (and men) to reignite their

self-esteem.

“Most women suffer or have suffered low self-esteem,” she said. “That affects their confidence at work, in business, in their career, and in marriage. I have seen that most women are very competitive. For example, when the neighbour is getting married, the mother will then pressure the daughter to get married to a man who has a stable job or gets tenders, just to show the community that they are also there, yet sacrificing their own daughter in the process. What, then, do we say about the dreams and vision of the young daughter?”

She is inspired by ladies such as Basetsane Kumalo, who is “just unstoppable”, and her favourite authors are Richard Rambau, Bishop TD Jakes and Dr Myles Munroe.

The two books are available as a package at R350. Hulisani is available on most social media platforms and she can be reached on mushianeh@gmail.com or 0827642029 (WhatsApp), or visit her website http://mushianeh.wixsite.com/ mysite.

Local poet Ndivhuho Aluwani Mabonyane, affectionately known as Dzomo La Venda in music circles, recently released his third album, entitled Vhutshilo.

The 28-year-old from Tshitereke Tshiomvani said he called the album Vhutshilo because, “when I look at the whole album or songs, they are all emphasizing the issue of hatred, gender-based violence, crime, love and so many aspects of our everyday lives”.

The new offering comprises 12 songs, which are Afrika, Nyanenge, Mmbwa dza Ṱhohoyanḓou, Vhutshilo, A matter of life and death, Muporofita, Lufuno lwashu, O tamba ngazwo, Mmawe, Ngoho, Vhuhadzi and Ro theutshela. He released his first album, entitled Vhalemba, in 2013, which was followed by Tendani in 2016.

His talent was evident from a young age. “When I was in Grade 3, I could effortlessly recite poems like Ramaremisa, written by the legendary Z Matsila, but in 2006, I started penning my own poems, including Tshivhoni and Zwa lino shango. I fuse my poetry music with Soul, Afro Jazz and Venda traditional music to give it a taste,” he said.

“To me, poetry is a peace maker. Poetry heals broken hearts and it can show the right way of living. I also see poetry as a guidance in so many ways. In a nutshell, poetry is all about the lives of various creatures created

by God because one can recite about mountains, people and maybe animals.”

He is a self-taught guitarist who was inspired by the likes of Eric Clapton, Oliver Mtukudzi and Louis Mhlanga. He bought his first guitar in 2014 after winning the Best Praise Singer of the Year award at the Tshivenḓa Music Awards.

“If they're willing to make it through the music and poetry industry, they must be disciplined because talent without discipline is doomed.

They must always know that good things come to those who go out and make them happen, they don't come to those who wait,” is his message to upcoming artists.

Donations for needy pupils Phalaphala FM continued to donate sanitary towels and books to disadvantaged young girls from schools around Vhembe at Niani West Circuit during an event at Malilele High last Wednesday.

The event coordinator of Phalaphala FM, Mr Lufuno Munonde, said that the main aim was to ensure that girls stayed in school by providing them with free sanitary pads.

He added that, with their campaign, Phalaphala gave hope to young girls and they received the opportunity to be free to participate in daily activities and not to feel ashamed or embarrassed. They received their dignity back through the initiative, he said.

“For many of us, buying sanitary pads is as easy as buying bread and milk. But this is not the case for millions of girls and women in South Africa. They are at a permanent disadvantage as they are forced to stay at home because they are unable to afford this necessity,” he said.

“During our school visits, we found that most of the pupils could not afford to buy sanitary towels monthly. We were saddened to hear that most of the learners did not go to school during ‘that time of the month’. We came up with a plan to resolve this challenge by asking for donations from businesspeople and ordinary citizens,” said Munonde.

Munonde said that reading books was not just an enjoyable pastime but was an integral part of the struggle to be a free and prosperous nation.

“It is in our hands to change the outlook of the research findings that indicate that we are not a reading nation,” he said.

“These are many reasons that contributed to that situation. To name but a few, illiteracy, lack of access to books and the fact that there are no libraries where most of our people live, especially in the rural areas. Through the reading campaign, we will continue to reach many people, especially in the rural communities who cannot afford to buy books,” he said.”

The circuit manager of Niani West Circuit, Mr MD Ramagoma, encouraged the learners to work harder. “Work hard to the best of your ability, become the leaders of tomorrow and do greater things for the later generations,” said Ramagoma.

He has since developed his market via social media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp. He also moved around Malamulele with his products at the back of his bakkie or truck, hailing the quality of his products, and people flock around him to buy.

“Today I supply to retail stores and supermarkets – but I don’t usually supply to them because they negotiate prodigious discounts that affect my profit negatively, so I prefer the open, public market,” he said.

He had created both permanent and part-time jobs on his farm for many people, including youths who want to venture into farming whom he is mentoring.

“I want my kids to play with animals or crops at a young age, not with plastic toys from foreign lands. I want them to learn the skills of working for themselves,” he said.

Six family members laid to rest

the victims need our support in hard times like these, and we hope accidents of this nature, which can be prevented, will never again take place on our roads,” he said.

Chief Livhuwani Matsila said they had come there to bury soldiers. “We sadly accept their deaths, but we console ourselves by the achievements they accomplished in their short lives. We do not dwell on the years lived, but we invest in the quality of life lived, no matter how short it was. We do not have proper words to explain how they will be missed.

May their souls rest in peace,” he said.

A family representative, Mr Samuel Ramulifho, told mourners that the families had accepted the loss although it

was difficult to cope with it.

“We understand and accept that our beloved children are gone, but it will be very difficult for us to live without them.

However, it is also important to acknowledge the community, government and traditional leaders’ support since we were greeted with the bad news.

God has done his will and there is nothing we can do because the situation is irreversible,” he said.

Vhembe’s executive mayor, Cllr Dowelani Nenguda, expressed his condolences to the families and said that their loved ones would always be remembered.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased during this time of grief,” he said.

Mourners from around the province and further afield attended the mass funeral of the six Ramulifho family members who died in an accident on Sunday, 12 January.

Stay away from dagga, warns MEC

By Mbulaheni Ridovhona Although the Constitutional Court has ruled that the consumption of dagga limited to private personal use is no longer a criminal offence, the MEC for Health, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, has warned learners not to use dagga as it might lead to mental illness.

Speaking during the back-to-school campaign last Thursday at Ligege Secondary School in Duthuni, Ramathuba urged the learners to refrain from substance abuse and focus on their studies.

She was accompanied by local ward councillors and health professionals.

The school achieved a 93.3% past rate last year. She

encouraged the matriculants to emulate last year’s results.

“Last year’s learners have set the standard for you, so you should work very hard. I want to see some of you shaking hands with the premier and the MECs at The Ranch hotel next year in January. I don’t just visit schools for fun. My visit here is to motivate you to work harder, so that you can achieve 100%,” she said.

Many young people love Brazilian hair and when they cannot afford it, since the style is expensive, they date blessers to get it, she said. “You should be proud of your natural hair and stop running after Brazilian hair because it will make you date sugar daddies.

You will get diseases if you indulge yourself in that kind of behaviour. Zozibini Tunzi won

Miss South Africa with her natural hair and that should serve as a motivation to you that natural hair is beautiful.”

With teenage pregnancy so rife in local schools, she told learners to use protection when they engaged in sexual activities. “Sleep with your books, not boys. You should learn to say, ‘no condom, no sex’. Please focus on your studies. It really hurts to see learners dropping out of school because they are pregnant. Don’t make your teachers midwives.

They are here to teach you, so don’t fall pregnant. Respect your teachers like you do your parents,” she said.

“Your school has the potential to enable all of you to pass.

If you managed to achieve 93.3%, it means it’s possible to get 100%,” she said.

To end the year on a fitting note, the local Community Policing Forum (CPF) and the Youth Against Crime (YAC) initiative gathered at the Louis Trichardt SAPS a fortnight ago. Young people from the surrounding villages were patrolling in and around Louis Trichardt, in collaboration with the Makhado police force, to curb crime during the festive season. The SAPS thanked the sponsors: Malta Taxi Association, Vhavenda Bricks, Pick n Pay and Firefly Supermarket. Photo supplied.

Makhado teams share R300 000

By Kaizer Nengovhela The teams playing under the banner of Makhado Local Football Association were rewarded on Saturday when they received their prize money during a ceremony at the local show grounds hall.

The teams shared R300 000. The winners in each stream received R6 000 each and were also promoted to the Safa Vhembe MMK Promotional League.

Teams promoted are: Tshivhazwaulu Peace Makers, Lambani United, Caledon Junior Birds, Mune Pumps, Matshavhawe United, Ma-

dombidzha Try Again and Muraleni Young Rebellions.

The guest speaker, Mr Moses Maluleke, a well- known soccer guru in the province and councillor at the Makhado Municipality, said young people must concentrate on their schoolwork and work harder during their training to achieve good things. He appealed to businesspeople to get involved in promoting sport.

He added that the local league had been operating many years without sponsorship.

Maluleke discouraged young people from using drugs and

alcohol when they are still young.

The secretary of the Makhado Local Football Association, Mr Freddy Phathela, sent a stern warning to all teams who failed to adhere to the rules that harsh punishment would be imposed on them.

He praised the team managers and players for their dedication and commitment during their matches.

He said that the league would resume in the first week of February and appealed to the new teams who wanted to register in the league to pay affiliation fees before the kick-off.

More points for TTM?

By Frank Mavhungu They collected seven points in their last three league matches and now Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) are determined to collect more points when they pay a visit to Richards Bay FC at the Umhlatuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay on Sunday afternoon.

Given the team’s track record in their last three matches, Bay will definitely have to double their efforts if they are serious about collecting the maximum points at the expense of TTM. Not only did TTM collect significant league points in their last three matches, but they managed to score seven goals. A win against Richards Bay is likely to push TTM

Leopards’ left back, Abel Zulu.

from the fifth to the second spot on the log standings.

Richards Bay have nothing more than pride at stake in the match. The KZN side are currently lying in the 12th spot on the log with 20 points accumulated from 18 matches.

Richards Bay must keep a close eye on the TTM strikers, Wonderboy Makhubu, Thembisani Nevhulamba and Phumelele Bhengu, or else they will not know what hit them at the end of the day.

Tshepo Makgoga, the TTM’s right back, will be available for selection on Sunday. Makgoga watched the team’s last three games from the grandstand because of injury.

The Cape Town derby between Cape Umoya United and Steenberg United will be staged at the Idas Valley

Stadium outside Cape Town in the only match that will be played this afternoon (Friday), starting at 15:30. Ajax Cape Town visit Royal Eagles at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday.

Swallows FC will host Free State Stars at the Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg.

Swallows are fast becoming a force to be reckoned with.

They collected 10 points in their first four matches and jumped from the eighth to the fourth spot on the log.

TS Sporting will host University of Pretoria at the Kabokweni Stadium in Nelspruit. The other GladAfrica Championship League weekend fixtures are: Uthongathi FC vs Real Kings, Jomo Cosmos vs JDR Stars and TS Galaxy vs Mbombela United.

Leopards ready to conquer Cape Town

By Frank Mavhungu Cape Town City must not expect an easy victory over Black Leopards if the latter’s performance against Kaizer Chiefs at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Saturday is anything to go by.

Lidoda Duvha will fly to Cape Town today for their Absa Premiership League match

against Cape Town City at the Cape Town Stadium this evening (Friday), starting at 20:00.

Leopards’ performance was impressive in their game against Kaizer Chiefs, with whom they played to a 1-1 draw.

Mogakolodi Ngele, the Leopards’ all-rounder, will not be part of the team that will fly to Cape Town today. He was taken

off the pitch on a stretcher with a knee injury shortly after scoring the equalizing goal in their game against Kaizer Chiefs.

Lesedi Kapinga, the skilful diminutive striker, is likely to be in the starting line-up in the absence of Ngele.

For Leopards to underestimate Cape Town City would be a suicidal mistake. The team from the mother city registered
