Bele said that he felt better when philanthropist and businessman Mr Hendrick Mudanalwo visited him and took pity on their situation.

“Mr Mudanalwo brought it to the community leaders in my village’s attention to get me another stand in Vuvha-Tshafhasi,” Bele said.

“I then moved to the new stand with my family and erected a one-room shack, but I’m worried that there is no privacy between me and my children.

Sometimes my wife and I only come back home late when the children are fast asleep.

Our children are also at risk of being terrorized or raped as our shack is the only one next to the bushes.”

She encourages young women to work harder and never to allow discouragement to get them down. “Having to choose two careers is easy, simply because I love what I do,” she said. “So, I will encourage young aspiring models never to give up doing what they do, because there is light at the end of the tunnel.”

Disego Tshivhase, an established model originally from Nzhelele, continues to cement her image and brand in the industry through various related activities and programmes.

When Limpopo Mirror first wrote about Disego four years ago, she was the reigning Miss Face of Savanna Mall 2016 and engaged in social causes, such as donating food and toiletries to orphanages and other institutions.

Disego, who is originally from Maname Paradise village, attended Tshikuwi Primary School and matriculated at the George Mbulaheni Secondary School. Earning herself a position within the South African Police Service and launching her cosmetic brand took hard work and determination. “Modelling is part of my lifestyle in that I exert myself through it,” she said. “I am not just Disego Tshivhase, but a brand. Most people refer to me as ‘a beauty with brains’, and that’s how they see me.”

Her love of modelling started in 2009 when she took part in local pageants. As a model from the rural areas, participating in bigger pageants was sometimes challenging, she said, due to financial constraints.

“I was raised by an unemployed single mother who, unfortunately, passed away in 2019, leaving me with my two little brothers to take care of,” she said. “Being a model and also a policewoman who serves the community with pride are my two priorities.”

She previously won other modelling titles, such as the Miss Sapa Yopa, Miss Legacy South Africa and Miss Judarois Princess.

“I took part in the Miss SA competition, even though I didn’t make it to the finals,” she said. “I am a born model and I have what it takes to break the barriers, regardless of where I come from.”

Disego recently launched her skin range, called Gorgeous Skin by Dee. “As Disego Tshivhase continues to cement her a model I know what beauty is,” she said. image and brand in the modelling industry.

“I still have a long journey ahead to accomplish what I have started, but I am certain of my future, and that’s what drives me to work harder when I get up every morning.”

These are the words of 19-year-old Liener Munyai, a young woman from Mudimeli village, who is in the process of carving out a career as model.

She is currently studying for a BA degree in environmental sciences at the University of Venda.

Liener was discovered by local photographer brothers Charles and Prince Sigebe, who also act as a modelling agency in Vhembe.

“I’ve always wanted to be a model, but I couldn’t put my dream into motion because I had no money,” she said.

“I think it’s the right time to show the world what I can do from here on, without hesitation.”

Liener, who matriculated at Mudimeli Secondary School, joined the modelling industry early this year. “I am well armed with what it takes to participate in any modelling contest, since I had prepared myself through watching many pageants online and on TV,” she said. “I also attendLiener Munyai is a BA student in environmental sciences ed many of them.

our side, we shall win this war (against criminals),” he said.

Classes were disrupted and pupils sent home early at the school. Some had to receive trauma counselling.

According to a Grade 11 pupil who wished to remain anonymous, the government should beef up security at schools to prevent a recurrence of the incident. She said that when the shooting began, everyone started screaming. Some of the children ran for cover when they heard the gunfire.

“We have never heard of nor seen such an incident in the rural areas. We only see it on TV happening in the urban areas,” said the girl. She said that the incident was surely the first of its kind at the school and had caused a lot of terror among the learners. A pastor and social workers stepped in to help pupils with counselling.

Vodacom donates seven laptops to Tshapasha Primary School Vodacom Limpopo has donated seven laptops to Tshapasha Primary School in Dzimauli, Mutale. The deputy principal of the school, Mr Mashudu Rasila, thanked Vodacom for the donation and said that the technology would put them in touch with the global world. “We used to rely on writing letters to the Tshilamba circuit and the Department of Education in the region and province when we needed to communicate school- and student-related matters,” he said. Access to the Internet will mean that learners will be able to search for information online, said Rasila. The managing executive for Vodacom Limpopo, Imran Khan, said that the seven laptops donated to Tshapasha formed part of a project through which they were donating more than 20 laptops to rural schools in Limpopo.

Mphephu Plaza finally opens its doors for business

By Maanda Bele

The much-awaited Mphephu Plaza on the R523-road in Siloam, Nzhelele, finally opened for business on Thursday, 25 March.

The much-awaited Mphephu Plaza on the R523-road in Siloam, Nzhelele, finally opened its doors on Thursday, 25 March, after unforeseen delays because of the national lockdown.

Fifteen of the 33 stores, including Shoprite, KFC, OBC Chicken and Capitec Bank, will open their doors for business this week, while the remaining 18 shops will commence business during the Easter long weekend.

Thovhele Nkhaneni Ramovha of the Malnet group thanked the community for their patience. “We approached the community in 2010 for a piece of land, then started with the Sasol garage,” he said. “The community was very patient with us until now. We are proud to have created 145 permanent jobs so far; our target is to reach 300.”

Because of the Covid-19 regulations, no big opening ceremony will be

held for the new plaza, but Thovhele Ramovha nevertheless invited local shoppers to come and enjoy the grand opening specials that will be on offer.

Rofhiwa Mudau, a local Uber driver, said he was very optimistic about the new plaza and what it would mean for business. “I am hopeful and excited that I will have more customers,” he said.

A taxi driver from Tshavhalovhedzi village, Rendani Singo, said he could not wait for the shopping centre to open. “This Mphephu Plaza will make us taxi drivers smile, because the R523road will now be very busy with people travelling back and forth.”

Kundani Lishivha, a resident of Dopeni village, thinks that the mall was a good idea. “It will be very convenient to the Nzhelele villagers. To take a taxi to Thohoyandou or Louis Trichardt just to make a deposit was a waste of time and money. Now we can do our groceries or go to fast-food restaurants here in Nzhelele.”

The Zoutpansberg Community Development Forum (ZCDF) has threatened to take the law into its own hands if a plan cannot be made to stop the spate of burglaries and robberies in Madombidzha and the adjacent areas.

The region seems to be under attack from especially cable thieves, also called ezinyoka, who have become more brazen in their crime sprees.

The thieves not only target the electricity supply lines, but also remove cables from houses. According to residents in the area, the theft of the cables is one of the reasons for the poor service delivery in Madombidzha and adjacent villages.

The chairperson of the ZCDF, Mr Patrick Sikhutshi, threatened that the community would take the law into their own hands, should the police fail to curb the on-going crime. He said that the residents were fed-up with crime and the thugs who had been terrorising the community for a long time. He said that housebreaking and theft cases in the area had reached an intolerably high number, but the police were dragging their feet to address the problems.

Sikhutshi appealed to members of the community to come forward and furnish them with information that can bring the culprits to book.

He said that cable theft hurt the economy as the supply of essential services such as water, electricity and telecommunication networks got disrupted. He said although Eskom had embarked on an intensive drive to educate users about the dangers of cable theft, the criminals were not deterred at all.

He urged everyone to be united in the fight against crime. “All we want is a crime-free village.” He indicated that “incompetent policing” was the main reason for the increase in crime.

“I woke up very early in the morning and switched on the light, but there was no power,” said Mrs Mashudu Madzivhe of Madombidzha.

She told Limpopo Mirror that she only realized that the cable had been cut off when she went out of her house. “I could hardly believe my eyes and I kept on looking around, thinking I would see the cables, but they were no more,” she said.

The spokesperson for the police in Limpopo, Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, said the police were now appealing to members of the community to come forward and furnish them with relevant information that could bring the culprits to book.

“We are appealing to anyone who has information regarding cable theft in the area to contact us, so that we can successfully arrest the people who are behind this,” said Mojapelo.

on bail, the possibility existed that they might flee the country. This ruling follows the testimony of a witness from the Department of Home Affairs, who confirmed that Nemaranzhe had two identity documents with different names.

Her name was first registered as Winnie Ntanganedzeni Nemaranzhe, but after the death of her husband, she applied for another document, registered in the name of Livhuwani Nemaranzhe Mudau.

The Mudau family members were satisfied with the decision.

Ms Makhulu Tshinakaho Mudau (82), mother of the late Azwifaneli Mudau, said that she was very happy as she was convinced that the accused were dangerous and had been terrorizing the family after her son’s death.

Some of the Mudau family members, including Ms Tshinakaho Mudau, mother of the murdered Azwifaneli Mudau, rejoiced outside the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 18 March, shortly after the announcement that the bail application by the accused in the murder was rejected.

Muofhe Tshivhenga received an unpleasant surprise on 12 March when she went to the community hall in her area to collect her money, only to be informed that her grant had already been withdrawn earlier that morning.

“I got up early as usual to go and stand in the queue for my grandchildren’s and my own grant at our local community hall. Surprisingly, I was told there was no money. SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) referred me to the nearest post office.

At the post office, I was informed that someone had withdrawn all the money early that day,” said Muofe Tshivhenga from Halambani Tshivhenga.

Asked how she was now feeding herself and the two grandchildren, Tshivhenga replied: “I have already gone to our nearest grocery shops to explain myself, so that they could lend me some groceries, until I get the next payment, or get the money back that was unlawfully withdrawn from my account.”

She was advised to visit the post office again on Monday, 22 March, to check what could have gone wrong with her grant.

In a related case, the SAP in Thohoyandou is investigating an incident where a 75-yearold woman lost her SASSA card to an unknown woman who pretended to be a SASSA official and robbed the old woman of her pension money.

The incident took place on 2 March this year. After some investigation, the police determined that the same unknown woman had also conned four other pensioners.

The Provincial Commissioner of the Limpopo police, Lieutenant General Nneke Ledwaba, warned members of the community not to trust strangers with their money.

You must maintain a good relationship with your market, advises Buysdorp farmer Agriculture For the love of the land, a new show that focuses on the unsung heroes within the South African agricultural industry, aired its first episode on People’s Weather (PPL WX, DStv channel 180 and Openview channel 115) on Monday, 15 March 2021.

The first episode features Aldrin Lawrence, who farms in Buysdorp, a relatively unknown Limpopo town named after his ancestor, French Huguenot Coenraad De Buys. The De Buys inheritance sits on an 11 000-hectare land where his family has farmed even before the Voortrekker migration of 1838, and Lawrence has created his own 30-hectare mixed-farming enterprise, producing livestock, broiler chickens, and vegetable crops, including potatoes and soybean.

Lawrence has a deep-rooted passion

for farming. This passion and resilience have helped him through many seasons when harvesting did not go according to plan. The 51-year-old believes that fostering good relationships, especially in the agricultural industry, is imperative.

“I always see people, when they think about taking a career, they always estimate how much they will be paid for it,” Lawrence told www.foodformzansi. co.za. “But in farming, you really have to have a love and feeling for it.

“If you do not have a relationship with market agents and if you are not a regular supplier of any produce, the agents do not know you, so when you send your things to the market then they will just sell it at whatever price.

Farming is your brand; you have to know people, even your consumers who buy from the market. They need assurance when they buy your product, they should know that you always sell

top-quality produce.”

The show is presented by Ivor Price and Piet Potgieter. Price, a multi-award-winning journalist, and Potgieter, a successful veteran KwaZulu Natal farmer, will be telling the stories of some of Mzansi’s hardest-working commercial farmers.

Various farmers are all featured on the show, with Limpopo’s very own taking centre stage in the 10th and final episode.

According to Lawrence, farming was his calling and, although difficult, he remains on his knees. “Water is one of our scarce resources, and drought is a difficult thing to deal with, because you don’t have control over it,” he said.

“When you deal with nature, you have to be on your knees to pray.”

Beitbridge’s fence “cannot be fixed”

By Bernard Chiguvare “The R37 million Beitbridge fence that was constructed last year will not be repaired,” the minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Ms Patricia de Lille, told the press on 16 March during a question-and-answer session at the National Council of Provinces.

De Lille said that the fence would have to be replaced completely.

The purpose of the border fence was to stop migrants from coming into South Africa via illegal routes. This, however, served no purpose in the end, as migrants merely broke the fence and continued to enter the country.

The MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya, accompanied by the

executive mayor of Vhembe, Cllr Dowelani Nenguda, the mayor of Musina, Cllr Mihloti Muhlope, the general officer commanding Limpopo Province, Brigadier-General TE Mulaudzi, Musina SAPS cluster commander Brigadier van der Walt and a chief director of the Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety, Ms Mulaudzi, toured the 40 km fence last year to inspect its condition and effectiveness. Several holes existed along the fence and it was taken down partially on the western side.

De Lille explained why the fence will not be repaired.

“The acting director-general of the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure sent a technical condition assessment team to the Beitbridge border in December last year to assess the extent of the bor-

der fence’s inefficiencies and breaches. The team discovered that the fence, in its current form, is not fit for purpose.

It is non-compliant with the specification. The department has decided not to undertake any repairs or maintenance to the existing fence. It will lead to irregular expenditure.”

De Lille continued to say that any further border fence initiatives would be investigated by the integrated border management for a solution.

In a statement issued by the Parliamentary Communications Services last year in September, the technical condition team were of the view that the material used for the construction of the fence had been substandard and the construction not in line with the prescribed specifications of the fence’s construction project.

Entertainment “This is really surprising!

God has his own way of doing things and ours is to give thanks and praise,” said a proud father, Maanda Ndou of Tshikuwi village in the Nzhelele area. Maanda is the father of Denzhe Ndou (21), a gifted, intelligent girl who suffers from autism (a serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact).

But, amazingly, the “bright angel” sings fluently, and she has just recorded a single titled Fulufhelo, which is due for release at the end of this month (March).

The director of Masana Records, King Da Vic Nemungadi, said this was the first time in his 30-year music career that he had the opportunity to work with a person who suffered from autism. Denzhe is recording her music at his studio in Gauteng.

“This is very amazing. Denzhe has difficulty in speaking, but when she sings, her amazing voice creates wonders.

When I speak to her in the studio, she does not answer, but she will perfectly do what I have asked her to do. This is a miracle, and I believe that God wants to prove a point that He can make impossible things possible.”

Nemungadi said that, at first, he had thought working with Denzhe would be difficult because of her condition. “It turned out to be an enjoyable session when I realized that she hears and understands what I say. I could not believe that it was the Denzhe I know when she does her miracles

Art & Entertainment T-Man Gavini is making his comeback

By Maanda Bele T-Man Gavini used to be a celebrated kwaito music star who churned out hit after hit, with everything seemingly going for him.

Sadly, the Tshisiwana remix hit maker, who rose to fame in 2006 and had fans eating from his hand during live performances, turned to drugs and was reduced to a street kid surviving on handouts.

This star, born Thivhulawi Ndou, now says that although he might have been down for some time, he is definitely not out.

Gavini is embarking on a major come-back and is set to reclaim his rightful place in the music industry with his latest single, Mazwale.

The single was released a fortnight ago and is already enjoying massive airplay on many radio stations.

He has become a classic example that, with help, drugs can be beaten once and for all, and this, he says, is thanks to a Pretoria-based advocate Mpho Nefuri, who took him under her wing.

Gavini admits that the bad influence from the wrong company got him involved with drugs and

alcohol abuse. He said that, as a celebrity, he hung out with many people who were ready to offer him drugs and alcohol at any time.

“This gradually became a habit I could not control anymore. The real T-Man Gavini left me, and I was like a person who had lost his mind.”

He said that drugs and alcohol had nearly destroyed his life and music career.

“I no longer had time for rehearsals and there were times when I did not even wash. My life was a mess and had deteriorated to such an extent that, at one time, I was convinced that there was no turning back and I was going to die.”

Many people tried to advise him, “but I was so addicted that I would not listen to their advice”, he said.

The fact that Nefuri found Gavini and took him to rehab was pure luck. The kind advocate paid for his rehab and accommodated him for free at her house in Pretoria. If not for her, he said, he did not know if he would still be alive today. “I really do not know how to thank her, but doing well and changing my bad ways will make her very proud, and this will be a fitting

thank you to her,” he said.

“I am on my way to recovery and to redeem my rightful place in society and my music career again. My new single is out, and my fans can expect a full album later this year. I will also soon embark on a campaign to make communities aware of the dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse, and hopefully the Department of Health comes on board and we can make the project work.”

Nefuri said she shad seen a picture of T-Man Gavini being circulated on Facebook, and that he had looked defeated. “The comments were not good, and people were mocking him.

I was so touched and told myself: this is for me, and I started sending him money for food and other necessities.” She later invited him to Pretoria and took him to rehab.

“The guy is recovering, and I have hooked him up with Prime Entertainment, where he is busy recording an album,” she said.

Gavini’s advice to young people is to never start with drugs to begin with, but if they know they are already hooked, they should seek help. “It’s never too late to get out.”

Phalaphala FM donates library to rural school.

Phalaphala FM donated a library to a rural school, Malilele Secondary School at Shakadza, on 15 March to help improve education.

Ms Rudzani Mashamba, marketing manager of Phalaphala FM, said that education was receiving more support, and this was producing good results. “The government cannot work alone, and other institutions can help the government to initiate development,” she said.

She expressed the hope that the library would be used in such a manner that it benefitted the pupils, ensuring an improvement in their endof-year pass rate.

Mashamba said the contribution formed part of the station’s duty to focus on education and community development. “We will continue assisting with resources and facilities wherever possible,” she said. “We do not just give these away, but we do random surveys and identify needy areas like this one,” she said.

The principal of Malilele Secondary school, Ms Banamandja Mudzweda, welcomed the donation and said it came at a time when the school was in dire need of a library. “Our pupils are highly motivated, and we thank Phalaphala FM for their help,” said Mudzweda.

“Most of the pupils go home late in the afternoon and they would be just playing and roaming around the school’s playing ground, with nothing to do. With this donation, they would have somewhere to spend their time, reading books and doing their assignments,” she said. “They will benefit a lot and we lack words to thank the station for the donation.”

Learner representative Hatavhanyi Gumbu said that he was happy when the new library was delivered to the school. He further said that the need to travel a long distance to the Tshilamba and Thohoyandou library would be a thing of past as they would be able to study close to home.

In South Africa, experts and politicians have warned against a third wave of infections. Gauteng Premier Mr David Makhura called on people to adhere to the restrictions and health protocols in all public places and at all times to avoid a third wave of Covid-19 infections. Finance Minister Mr Tito Mboweni warned last week that a third wave of the coronavirus could destabilise the government’s efforts to control its finances.

One of the concerns is that the Easter holidays may lead to more people travelling. This, together with more social activities and events such as massive church meetings, may cause the virus to spread quickly.

A few paces outside the shop, she was apprehended by three SuperSpar employees, who had seen her take the meat. They allegedly doused her with methylated spirits and set her alight. Mavis was hospitalised for two weeks at Musina Hospital.

She told Limpopo Mirror that she was recovering but still experienced pain in one

Two of the three accused employees have already been laid off at the Spar store. The case was postponed to 13 April 2021 for further police investigation.

Magistrate Davhana gave Mavis permission to stay home at this point in the trial and said that she would be informed by a police officer when she must be present in court again.

All three of the accused are out on bail. *Mavis is not her real name.

Nduvhuwo Vhuatsha, a local author, says he is thankful for people who acknowledge their calling to become entrepreneurs - whether it is a new business or product or a completely new initiative.

In his recently published book, The Praying Entrepreneur, he compares entrepreneurs with artists who always come up with new ways of creating something different.

“Each of us is created to fulfil a certain purpose in this life,” he said.

“Whatever your life’s purpose, I believe that it should be connected to serving humanity. We should all seek to be of service to others with our skills and talents.”

He says that his book will help readers understand the importance of prayer by entrepreneurs who want to succeed. It will also guide readers to run their enterprises successfully and alert them about the dos and don’ts to maintain their enterprises.

“Entrepreneurs who want to quit their full-time jobs to start their own businesses need to be equipped with the relevant information, or else they might fail,” Vhuatsha says.

“Therefore, this is the right tool for an entrepreneur. This book teaches you how to pray as an entrepreneur and help open your mind, so that you’re ready to face challenges fearlessly.”

The author states that the business industry needs more people to address the issue of unemployment in the country effectively. “We need more people in this country who are willing to start their own businesses,” he said. “The unemployment rate in South Africa is quite scary, and if more people take the plunge and start their own businesses, these stats

will start looking better and more families and communities will be able to sustain themselves and raise their quality of life.”

The Praying Entrepreneur seeks to create a balance between the spiritual side of entrepreneurship and the practical side. “We must just not become so spiritual that we do not learn about the practical things we need to do too,” Vhuatsha says. “It is said ‘Faith without work is dead’, so don’t just believe, but work harder to actualise those dreams. At the same time, don’t just work, have faith too and be positive.”

He concludes: “Entrepreneurship comes with a lot of responsibilities that require that an individual be well balanced, mentally fortified and ready to confront their fear and act positively, with a positive mind-set. So, this book is available to guide you on your journey.”

Excellent results for Bochum’s 2020 matrics Education

funded by the Limpopo Department of Education henceforth.

“We are grateful for the opportunity granted to us by Soutpan Solar Power. We are encouraged, motivated and willing to continue with the programme on our own to allow Soutpan Solar Power to support other crucial education programmes,” said Francinah Rabothata, Maleboho East circuit manager of the Limpopo Department of Education.

This matric centre provides study guides, resources, and a programme that addresses gaps in essential school subjects for matric students from the Limpopo Province. The programme is geared to focus on helping matric learners improve their maths, science and English results, and has proven its worth many times over, showing that the extra effort these learners put in, pays off.

The schools that are targeted in this programme are situated in rural areas where technology and other basic equipment, such as physical-science equipment, are not available. Photo and article supplied.

Mahlatse Reuben Malebo, who achieved 90% for mathematics and 80% for physical science, is one of many successful matriculants who attended the matric centre at Marumofase Community High School in Bochum last year. The centre, which takes in learners from the Blouberg Municipal area, collectively produced 36 bachelors, 34 diplomas and 55 higher certificates out of the 155 candidates.

“We all worked very hard to catch up on the schooling that we missed out on last year and are very grateful to the centre for helping us,” commented Malebo, a Grade 12 graduate from Marumofase Community High School.

These encouraging results are certainly not a miracle as the Grade 12s worked with great determination to make up for the five months of lost classroom time. As part of a catch-up programme, learners camped at the centre to fill the gap that was created by the Covid-19 school lockdown.

“We are so proud of Mathlatse, who is without a doubt the shining star of the matric centre, as he leads his fellow learners who also achieved outstanding results, despite the academic hardships of 2020,” said Harrisinah Theka, economic development officer for Soutpan Solar Power, who funds the matric centre and provided additional support in the way of food, PPE, transport, and other logistical requirements to support the learners.

This academic matric programme, which has been funded as part of Soutpan Solar Power’s socio-economic development programme since 2019 and is designed to fill gaps and supplement Mahlatse Reuben Malebo, who achieved what educators are 90% for mathematics and 80% for physical doing daily, will be sciences.

Shothodzo’s seven A’s show that a little support can make a world of difference

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho Shothodzo Sandra Lishivha, one of the province’s top matriculants last year, is one of many learners who benefited from a specialised programme to assist learners. Lishivha was supported by PROTEC in her preparations for the final exams.

PROTEC is a non-profit organisation that specially develops maths and science competence in under-resourced high schools around South Africa. The organisation pulled out all the stops to adapt to the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and delivered support, resources and tuition to all its learners throughout 2020.

With seven distinctions, first place in the circuit and second in the district and earning herself a seventh overall place in the province, Shothodzo’s excellent matric results are indicative of the programme’s effectiveness to learners who need study support.

PROTEC’s 2020 matriculants celebrated a 100% pass rate, with Shothodzo, who is from Madodonga village, as the top student. She said that, although 2020 had been a difficult year, she and the other learners had pulled up their socks and worked hand in glove with the teachers at PROTEC to ensure that they got quality results.

“I worked hard and I’m glad others are proud of me too,” Shothodzo said.

“PROTEC provided the resources we needed, as well as tuition in maths, science, World of Work and English. I know if it hadn’t been for the support of PROTEC, I would not have achieved these results. I’m also grateful to Growthpoint for believing in us and motivating us to do better. Every learner who has the opportunity to join a PROTEC programme must do so wholeheartedly.”

Balan Moodley, PROTEC’s CEO, explained that the organisation recognised the need to make radical changes to tuition methods quickly. As soon as they could, PROTEC instituted a hybrid teaching method that incorporated face-to-face and online tuition, ensuring all Covid protocols were adhered to.

“As soon as lockdown level 5 was announced, we took action,” Moodley said. “We had to come up with a solution that included adjusting our course material to suit the changes and training our facilitators on the revised material and on digital tuition. Extensive use was made of online meeting platforms and WhatsApp to assist the learners over this period.”

But despite having put that in place, the learners – some of whom are from severely disadvantaged communities

– had no data, which the institution then sourced and provided for. Many had no devices and had to wait to use other family members’ devices in the evening.

“This meant our branch and project teams made themselves available to assist learners late into the night,” Moodley said. “This also severely affected our budget as our data SIM card costs reached over R1.1 million.”

Moodley said PROTEC was tremendously proud of all its learners, but particularly the matriculants.

“They were quick to adapt to the changes and often had to work under extremely difficult and cramped living conditions,” Moodley said. “The pandemic taught us a lot. We worked as a team from different projects with the aim of developing one solution for all.”

PROTEC successfully tracks learners from Grade 10 throughout their tertiary studies and into their careers.

To date, more than 30 000 disadvantaged learners have successfully passed through the programme and are now qualified engineers, doctors, scientists, educators, and other professionals.

Shothodzo was a learner at Sinthumule High School when she was selected for PROTEC’s programme.

“We appreciate what you have done for our learners, as Mabila is a rural school where most of the parents cannot meet the educational needs of their children. We would like to continue our relationship with the foundation and their future assistance in this regard,” Khuguvhila said.

Nemaranzhe family desperate for news about their missing daughter

By Maanda Bele

The Office of the Military Ombud is mandated by the Military Ombud Act 4, of 2012, in section 4 (1) (d) to investigate complaints lodged in writing by current or former members of the SANDF concerning their conditions of service.

We are also mandated to promote the fundamental rights of soldiers.

The Office investigates complaints by members of the public concerning the official conduct of a soldier on duty. As such, members of the public have 90 days to lodge a complaint with the Office, from the date the incident occurred.

We are committed to serve independently and impartially. We do not represent the complainant, the Department of Defence and Military Veterans or any other government authority.

Our investigations are conducted in a fair and objective manner to ensure an accountable and transparent governance.

The Office may allow late submissions of complaints after careful consideration, depending on the reasons given.

Upon receipt of the complaint, the Investigator will initiate an investigation process which includes interviewing the complainant, all relevant parties and looking at applicable laws and policies before finalising the report.

of the work that we did for them.”

Cllr Bigboy Ndou of Musina Municipality commended the members of the SANDF for coming to the rescue of local villagers. “Many of our community members are indigent and they cannot do things on their own. It is encouraging to see partners like the SANDF coming on board to help the government to fight against poverty and underdevelopment.”

The principal of Sigonde Community Crèche, Solomon Nemakonde, did not have enough words to thank the members of the SANDF for their kind gesture. “Most of the parents in this village are not working, and it was difficult for us to renovate this crèche. The 50 kids enrolled here will now be able to attend crèche in a conducive environment. We are very thankful for what these Good Samaritans have done for us.”

Recommendations made are submitted to the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans for implementation.

become our pillar of strength,” she said.

“We don’t know what happened to Rolivhuwa. These people on Facebook seem to know where she is. We beg them to assist us with her whereabouts.”

Thina also asked people to stop posting fake information on Facebook, “Please come forward if you have any information to share with the family, because it is painful to read about this on social media.”

For the Nemaranzhe family from Duthuni village outside Thohoyandou, life has become very difficult since the disappearance of their daughter, Rolivhuwa Nemaranzhe (30), three months ago.

They have done everything one can think of to try and find her, but to no avail. Rolivhuwa went missing on 23 December 2020. At the time of her disappearance, Rolivhuwa lived in Gauteng where she was employed at a liquor outlet in Midrand.

What makes it worse for the Nemaranzhe family is that painful and misleading information about Rolivhuwa’s disappearance is being posted on a fake Facebook account, under the name of a certain Elma Mutavhatsindi. “Elma” apparently posted “RIP Rolivhuwa” and told the family that their daughter had been killed and that her body thrown into a dam in the Kempton Park area. The family went to the dam, but Rolivhuwa’s body was not found.

According to Rolivhuwa’s sister Thina, the family is deeply upset by the posts on Facebook. She added that watching her sister’s two-year-old daughter miss her mother was painful. “The family has not had peaceful sleep since Rolivhuwa’s disappearance,” she said. “This is a most traumatic and trying time for the family.”

She thanked Pastor Violet Liremi and Awelani Makongoza, who visited them with prayers, goods, and money for Rolivhuwa’s daughter. “We have lost a lot and we have gone through the worst. But we have not lost Rolivhuwa Nemaranzhe, daughter of local hope as we have put our hope in God, and the residents, has been missing since 23 Decemprayers and support from the community have ber 2020.

“When we joined the project, we did not know that one day we would find ourselves being able to provide for our families.

Things were difficult when we started, but through hard work and commitment, we managed to make the project sustainable.” She added that her children were still at school and that they solely depended on the income from the project.

Matjila to lead SABC’s Lim combo

By Kaizer Nengovhela The SABC has announced its four newly appointed business managers to oversee seven of its radio stations, with Mr Madikana Matjila heading up the Limpopo Combo.

Matjila, who will step into his new position from 1 April, said that he was humbled and truly honoured. He will be responsible for the overall strategic direction of Phalaphala FM, Munghana Lonene FM and Thobela FM. His task is to provide guidance and management to the three radio stations in a cost-effective and efficient manner, while simultaneously ensuring maximum audience and revenue opportunities.

anxiety can be characterised as constant worry and fear. For example, when a leaner is constantly consumed with worry about upcoming tests or exams, it disturbs their daily activities like eating, sleeping or even their ability to study or process information.”

She said that depression can be characterised by a constant feeling of sadness and irritability. For example, when a learner fails a test or even a school grade, they end up being so consumed with sadness over their failure that they suddenly do not want to engage in activities that they used to enjoy doing.

“Some suddenly start spending a lot of their time alone, avoiding people, or constantly feeling irritable,” she said.

She advised teachers to attend to pupils fully whenever they notice any signs of anxiety and depression. She further advised pupils who experience any kind of problems to find and talk to someone they can trust.

“Whether it be a friend, parent, teacher or even a religious leader, like a pastor,” she said.

“There are also free 24-hour telephonic counselling services, like Childline South Africa and the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), where you can talk to someone who can assist you or direct you to local organisations or mental practitioners for further help.”

Mahwai added that if mental health problems are left untreated, they can worsen over time and lead to other issues like substance abuse or suicide, or even to clinical diagnoses of anxiety and depression where you might need to take medication to function.

Venetia Legends played Matswale Legends last weekend.

Musina’s social soccer teams return to practises

By Bernard Chiguvare As the lockdown regulations gradually ease, Musina’s sports lovers are also returning to practise over weekends to keep themselves occupied and fit.

Last Saturday, five Musina social soccer teams, Matswale Legends, BBE Venetia Legends, Musina All Nations, Musina Masters and Legend 40, battled it out at Musina’s rugby field. Musina All Nations and Matswale Legends emerged as finalists, with Musina All Nations

clinching a 3-1 win.

Lesedi Mabela, assistant coach and player of Matswale Legends, spoke to Limpopo Mirror. “We really enjoy these games. They keep us fit and act as a means of socialising.

We have been doing this for the past five years. It is also a means of drawing youths out of the streets and from engaging in crime,” he said.

Most of the soccer players and spectators admitted that they missed the games during the lockdown restrictions.

Top teams fight for promotion in Motsepe League

By Frank Mavhungu The struggle for promotion and to avoid relegation will continue among the teams affiliated to the Limpopo Stream of the ABC Motsepe League this weekend. Most of the teams will be playing their sixth matches of the season. The match not to be missed will be between Mikhado FC and Makotopong Brazilians at the Rabali Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

Mikhado and Brazilians are closely contesting for the league championship. Although this will be an away fixture for the Brazilians, for Ikwasha fhedzi to underestimate them would be a suicidal mistake. The Brazilians had proved beyond doubt that they are good travellers. The Polokwane side are still to lose a league match away from home. Their worst away result was a draw. Makotopong Brazilians rose to the occasion and held Venda Football Academy to a goalless draw at the Tshifudi Stadium last Saturday.

Whether the Brazilians strikers will have enough strength to penetrate through the defence of Mikhado, which is marshalled by the former Mamelodi Sundowns’ centre back, Luvhengo Mungomeni, Andiswa Ndawonde and Thompho Maliehe, is something that remains to be seen. A combination of the Mikhado’s strikers, Rendani Thavhana and Khuthadzo Tshikulumela, is expected to give the opposition defenders no time to breathe.

Tshakhuma RO Nandilani (TRON) will host Ollesdal FC at the Louis Trichardt Hoërskool grounds. TRON must win the match at all cost to move out of the relegation quagmire.

Venda Football Academy will travel to Giyani. Their match against Giyani Happy Boys will be played at the Giyani Stadium. The Dolphins FC will host Ablex United at the Ben Serake Stadium outside Polokwane.

The other weekend fixtures are: Ditlou FC vs Barracah Valley, Mighty FC vs Magezi FC, Terros FC vs Polokwane Soccer Academy and Dennilton Callies vs Eleven Fast Tigers.

The winners of the tournament, Maelula United Brothers, received R10 000, a new soccer kit, gold medals and a trophy. The runners-up, Black Poison, went home with R7 000, a new soccer kit and silver medals. The third and fourth positions went to Mauluma and Zamen United, who received R3 000 each.

The champions in the Top 8 champions

were Madombidzha Try Again. They received R5 000 and gold medals. The runners-up, Manavhela Black Aces, collected R3000 and silver medals.

The tournament was sponsored by Matsila Development Trust, Gwala Security, Rueben Mosefuwa, Thabelo Funerals, Cell C, Drewmach Branding, Iceburg Trading and SND Civils.

Maelula United Brothers were crowned as champions of the MJN Foundation Top 16 Soccer tournament when they beat Black Poison 2-0 in the final match at Madombidzha on Sunday.

During the prize-giving ceremony, Mr Carlson Nemaridili of Gwala Security said that the company would continue to sponsor the rural soccer tournament next season. He also stated that the sponsorship amount would increase.

According to Nemaridili, he believes in serving the community and that was why the company had decided to sponsor the event.

“We are part of this community and we are doing this to support local people,” he added.

He praised the committee that managed the sport well and encouraged community members to keep on producing talent among the youth. Nemaridili stated that sponsorships played a vital role in sports development. He described football as a community-building sport that played a major role as far as job creation was concerned.

The secretary of the MJN Foundation, Mr Thendo Mavhandu, appealed to businesspeople to get involved in promoting local activities. He emphasized the importance of education and said that sports people must not neglect their studies. “You can be a star today and be written off the following day.

Education will never forsake you, and you can From left are the captain of Maelula United Brothers, Mpfarisemi “Milo” Neluvhada, Renbank on it,” he added. He praised all the spon- dani Mudumela, Khathutshelo Muvhumbe, Thilivhali Simali and Rudzani Mafunisa.

Munaca hold log leaders, Mikhado to a goalless draw

By Kaizer Nengovhela Munaca FC held the current log leaders in the Safa Limpopo ABC Motsepe league, Mikhado FC, to a goalless draw at the Louis Trichardt Show Grounds on Saturday.

Munaca played entertaining football from the onset, but their strikers were unlucky. Akani Maluleke, Munaca’s right flank, missed an opportunity in the 10th minute. After he beat two defenders in a row, he shot aimlessly from inside the box.

Munaca soon realised that their day at the office would be a difficult one when their striker, Tiyiselani Makhubele, fumbled in front of the posts. He received a neat pass from Phathutshedzo Mahaswane within the box and shot wide with the stranded keeper, Ludwick Mkhatswa, already beaten.

Mikhado threatened to score for the first time in the 47th minute. Tshifhiwa Mmbooi received a beautiful pass from his teammate, Sedzanani Mudau, and unleashed aimlessly from close range.

Kwena Mudzanani of Mikhado won a loose ball from the left corner in the 68th minute. He ran a few steps towards the goal before beating the keeper. He caused an upset, however, when his shot hit the woodwork and landed outside the field of play for a goal kick.

Mikhado FC’s coach, Mr Joel Mongalo, said

that no need for panic existed at this stage. He hard. The only way we can do that is to keep evsaid that their focus is on their next match. “We erybody together, so that we can move forward,” knew that we were going to lose or draw at some he said. point. I will only be worried if my players are not fighting,” Mongalo told Limpopo Mirror.

“Munaca are a strong side.

We just need to prepare and forget about this draw. To fight with the big boys, you need more than talent. It’s tough,” he said. “I only talk about my players and our performance. I believe in the second half we performed well, but in the first half we were nowhere to be seen,” he said.

Munaca’s coach, Mr Amukelani Hlongwane, was full of praise for his players.

“Finally, we got it right. I think credit must go to the players because they fought back really hard.”

“We needed to focus if you play teams like Mikhado,” he said. “I hope the level of concentration will be high Edwin Sekwama (left) of Mikhado FC, with Final Mabasa of and we’ll keep on working Munaca FC trying to intercept.

Sekhukhune United are still battling to come to terms with the result of their GladAfrica Championship League match against Steenberg United, which was played at the Ida’s Valley Stadium outside Cape Town last Saturday.

They lost 0-1 to end their unbeaten record of four matches.

Sekhukhune United dropped a step down on the log standings, following the defeat. They are now lying in the second position after leading the pack for three weeks. Richards Bay FC are now shining on top of the log with 32 points, one ahead of Sekhukhune United and Real Kings.

Richards Bay and Real Kings had played one match fewer than Sekhukhune United.

When asked to comment after the team’s defeat against Steenberg United, the club’s assistant communications and marketing manager, Ms Thina “Chitagong” Ramantswana, said that they were not too concerned about the fact that they had given away vital league points.

She said that losing a match after four successive victories was not a train smash. She again stated that, after procuring the GladAfrica Championship League franchise from Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC early this season, as a club they set a target of three years for themselves to be in the DStv Premiership.

She went on to say that everyone in the club was impressed with the team’s performance so far. According to her, should the team manage to partake in the promotional playoffs at the end of the current season, that would be a bonus. “With 11 matches to play before the end of the season, anything is still possible,” she said.

Sekhukhune’s next fixture will be against Cape Town All Stars at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane next Saturday, 3 April. The fight for survival is between two teams, Ajax Cape Town, and the rookies, Bizana Pondo Chiefs.

Chiefs are languishing at the bottom of the log with 14 points, one behind the Cape Town side.

The draw was the second in a row for VFA after sharing the spoils with Mikhado FC with whom they played to a 1-1 draw in their midweek match at the Rabali Stadium. VFA are still one of the hot contenders for the league title, despite giving away vital points in their last two matches.

The team’s head coach, Mr Justice Mutileni, could not hide his disappointment after their game against Brazilians. According to him, his area of concern was the fact that his team created numerous scoring chances but failed to convert these into goals. He stated that a victory against Brazilians would have made a huge difference

to the log standings, because it would have narrowed the points gap between them and the log leaders, Mikhado FC. Mutileni stressed the fact they should have taken advantage of the fact that Mikhado had also dropped vital points last Saturday. They played to a goalless draw with Munaca FC. Mr Mutileni further revealed that he was optimistic that VFA were still on course for promotion, despite all the odds.

Mr Mutileni’s counterpart from the Brazilians’ camp, Mr Thabiso Msasa, was full of praises for his players. He said that their game plan had been superb, and they had managed to frustrate the opposition from the onset to the end.

VFA are lying in the second position on the log with seven points accumulated from five matches. Mikhado FC are shining on top of the log with 11 points accumulated from the same number of matches.
