Medical waste dumped in village There has been an outcry and a sense of uneasiness at Siawoadza and nearby villages in Tshisahulu. This follows the discovery of a large consignment of potentially deadly medical waste, which included bloodied syringes, pregnancy testing equipment, HIV testing kits and used cotton wool.

The find was discovered by a passerby on Sunday, who noticed children playing at the scene and quickly recognised the items as hazardous waste. It was only a few metres away from a house, along a busy path, leading to a local hospital.

The whistleblower, who preferred to remain anonymous because of her close association with the health fraternity, said she had warned the children, some of whom were already playing with the needles.

She said they suspected that local private medical practitioners were responsible as the packs did not have labels on them. “It

was clear that it was not government issue medication,” she said. Within a short space of time, many community members had gathered at the spot.

The community members claim to have experienced the constant dumping of used condoms, diapers, urine tubes and lots of medicines that have already expired. In the past, residents had complained about the same kind of things being dumped close to their doorsteps.

They are now worried that children who had been spotted playing at the scene on Sunday could have unknowingly contracted a dangerous disease while playing. An angry Ms Tshinakaho Khomola, a local resident, whose son stays a few metres from the spot, said it was not the first time that they had experienced similar dumpings.

“We are very worried about the safety of our children as most of them do not even know what medi-

cal waste is. The mere fact that some were spotted playing with the used syringes is a source of great concern. Who knows, they might have infected themselves and put their lives at risk,” she added.

Khomola, who said she once worked at the Tshilidzini Hospital, said she knew about the dangers of bio-hazardous waste.

“This is pure murder; the person who left this here knows what he is doing. We are appealing to the powers that be to investigate this matter and to identify whoever is responsible.”

She pleaded that the waste be removed before it could inflict harm on unsuspecting children.

Cleric is “living a deceitful life” A Gauteng woman, who claims to be legally married to a well-known local cleric, says her husband is living a deceitful life and spreading a false rumour about her.

Mrs Sylvia Marsh (56) of Westdene in Gauteng said her preacher husband, Bishop Jack Marsh of El Shaddai Ministries at Shayandima, had told members of his church in Vhembe that he had divorced her and had subsequently remarried a member of his church.

Sylvia recently travelled all the way from Gauteng to Vhembe to set the record straight. “I have been married to this man for almost 10 years. I helped him with almost everything after he lost his job, and when he left Gauteng, I was happy and thought his life would change for the better. How wrong I was!

I want people to know that this man is living a deceitful life.”

She said that the bishop had left their home in Gauteng in March 2011, saying he was going to preach in Limpopo, and he only came back home in August 2011. After that he left for Limpopo again, where he claimed he was going to preach.

“He stopped visiting our marital home and never accepted my calls. This surprised me as there was nothing bad between us.” She said she started praying

to God that He should reveal to her what was happening to her husband.

“I have learnt that he married a new wife, who is also a member of his church, after telling the church that we are divorced. We are still legally married and I can prove this,” said a fuming Marsh, holding a marriage certificate.

She said she was so distressed that the whole scenario had affected her health. She has been ill for some time. She said she had raised the issue of their marriage with members of his family, who revealed that it was not the first time he had done that.

“Her sister told me that he is used to dumping women, saying he once did it with one of his wives, running away from her after the birth of their first child. I just fear that he is going to repeat what he has done to me and others to his new wife.

He does not lead a stable life; he is always full of lies,” she said.

Bishop Roxley Masevhe of the Devine Grace Fire Temple, who shared the pulpit with the bishop on several occasions, said the accusations against the bishop had shocked him.

“I met him last year in Nigeria while on a religious visit. We met again while he was visiting another pastor in the Masisi area. We heard him preaching

and that was when we invited him to preach at our church.

At one stage, he introduced his wife Sylvia to churches around here,” he said.

He said they were surprised five months down the line when he told them he was divorced and was getting married. “This came as a shock to us; we told him that the Bible does not allow divorce, and the worst part of it was that he was getting married so soon after the divorce.”

Masevhe added that if what they heard was true, he would be very disappointed. He added that they were saddened even more because the bishop had left his sickly wife in one city and married another one in another city. “As a man of the cloth, he should lead an exemplary life. He must put his house in order,” said Masevhe.

When he was approached for comment, Bishop Marsh said Sylvia was a liar who was bent on destroying him.

He said he did not know why she was making such accusations against him. Marsh confirmed that he was in the process of divorcing her, but said he was not married to anybody at present.

After a short while, the bishop called back and said he had been praying and that God had revealed to him that there was another party involved in the saga.

Asked who that party was, he said it was another local pastor, but he did not mention the name.

He later called and said that he would be visiting Mirror’s office to set the record straight ...

True to his word, he did come. “My wife is a big liar who does not want to see me prosper in life; she will do all in her power to destroy me. I am in the process of paying lobola for a respectful local wife.

I will be marrying her soon,” he said.

The bishop pleaded with this paper not to publish the story, sayLooking distraught, a sick Sylvia says that her bishop husband is leading ing it would destroy a deceitful life and has broken her heart. Here she is seen holding their him and his ministry. picture and a copy of their marriage certificate, showing that she is still married to Bishop Marsh.

Lots of entertainment at Makhado Show The Makhado Show is now just around the corner and the excitement is building for the big event that will take place from 26 to 28 July.

This year’s Makhado Annual Show is being organized by the Makoya Multi Media team.

According to one of Makoya’s directors, Hangwe Netshifhefhe, they have secured a deal with Blanche Wonder World to provide entertainment such as the merry-go-rounds, the bumper cars and the big swing. This year, Blanche Wonder World is adding more to the funfair than in previous years. The family entertainment activities will in-

clude horse carts, a ghost house, swinging horses, tilt-a-world, Halley galley, octopus, aeroplane and a slide rocket.

Stalls are selling out fast and they allocate these on a firstcome-first-served basis. “There is quite a variety in terms of stalls, from government institutions and established business institutions to small businesses, which include numerous local businesses,” said Netshifhefhe.

“Makoya would also love to see even those women who sell fruit in the streets benefiting from this year’s show,” he added.

The Makhado Municipality and Makoya are currently engag-

ing in continuous talks to ensure that the show grounds remain clean and that services such as water and electricity are available at all times.

The big surprise will probably be the artists who have been invited to provide the entertainment.

“At this stage, we are waiting for the artists to officially commit to be here, so we cannot say too much. However, this should be finalised within the next few days,” Hangwe said. Makoya has already secured a deal with Donald, a house musician who is best known for his popular song called I deserve.

Medical waste dumped at Siawoadza (From page 1) School children who passed by were equally shocked. “We are taught at school that used needles and razor blades cannot be left where others could reuse them, as they could infect people with diseases. Whoever left them here should be punished,” said one of the pupils.

An official from Tshilidzini Hospital, who came to inspect the waste, remarked: “People are really cruel. Does this person who discarded all this know how many lives he is endangering?”

Hospital spokesperson David

Nemuhuyuni, who also visited the scene, said the waste did not belong to the hospital. He confirmed that it was illegal and dangerous to dump such waste in open areas. He said his institution took the most stringent measures to ensure that the public was not exposed to medical waste.

Staff from the hospital came and removed the waste, which was then taken to the hospital for safe disposal.

Well-known local medical practitioner Dr Mulingoni Makhwanya confirmed that disposing of medical waste in open

areas is illegal. He said medical waste had the potential for crossinfection as children could pierce themselves. He also indicated that careless disposal of medical waste did not only endanger people, but also the environment.

“Whoever comes across the waste should immediately report it to the department of health, who has the capacity to dispose of it,” he said. Makhwanya said it was easy to trace the origin of the waste as it had a batch number that madeit easy to trace the company which had sold it and the person who had bought it.

“Afrikaans speaking whites are Africans” Afrikaans-speaking white people should be regarded as Africans and should not be called Europeans. This viewpoint is emphasised by Mr André Naudé of the Chairpersons Association (CA).

“All local people should be regarded as Africans, even Afrikaans-speaking white people.

Afrikaans is a language of this country and this language derived its name from the continent of Africa. To call the whites ‘Europeans’ is an illusion of reality,” Naudé said on 19 June at a meeting with the mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, the acting municipal manager, Mr Elias Mugari, directors and representatives of the Vhembe District Municipality.

In his reply, Mutavhatsindi said that he wanted to talk to Naudé on the Afrikaner-as-African idea and that he wanted to engage with all cultural groups.

After the meeting, Naudé further explained that, according to

what he had read from historian professor Louis Changuoin, the Bhavenda arrived in the country in the 17th and 18th century, when they migrated south from Zimbabwe and mid-Africa.

The Afrikaners mark their origin as the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck in 1652. “For the past 360 years, we have not been living in Europe. It is nonsensical to still call us Europeans; we are Africans,” Naudé said. At the meeting, Naudé said that the CA stood for the unlocking of synergy among all cultural groups in Limpopo, South Africa and Africa.

“When this synergy is unlocked and when there is good service delivery, harmony among people will definitely follow.

At municipal level, we are not interested in politics but indeed in good service delivery and value for the taxes we pay,” Naudé said.

The CA empasised the point of good corporate governance and transparency and the importance

of properly trained and experienced municipal managers and directors.

“We regret cadre employment and nepotism at the cost of employing of properly trained people with the necessary expertise,” Naudé said. Because of transparency and the importance of the posts of municipal manager and chief financial officer, the CA requested observer status at the interviews per letter, dated 2 May. Mutavhatsindi, however, informed them at the meeting that the CA would not be granted observer status, since he would then have to invite all stakeholders. “At the meeting, we were not afforded the opportunity to respond to the refusal of our request. The refusal is not acceptable to the CA. There has to be transparency, especially in the light of the profound impact that the decisions of a municipal manager has on the everyday lives of residents,” Naudé said on Tuesday.

A 16-year-old girl from Mmatswale in Musina went missing after she was sent to her father’s place in Muraleni village in the Sinthumule area on 14 June for safety reasons.

Gladys Phophi Negondeni was taken to her father’s place by her mother, Nyambeni Razwimisani, on 14 June. According to Razwimisani, she felt she had to take young Gladys to stay with her father, Mr Andries Gumani in Muraleni village, after Gladys’s boyfriend had allegedly started abusing her physically.

Gladys was welcomed in Muraleni and stayed with the people in the household, until she packed her bags one morning (19 June) and left while her father was

away. “I phoned her mother (Razwimisani) to tell her that Gladys had disappeared,” said a distraught Mr Gumani when he spoke to Limpopo Mirror on Monday. “I went to Musina, where we then approached the boyfriend’s mother, who said he too hadn’t returned home since 19 June. The police in Musina advised us to file a report of a missing person with the Tshilwavhusiku police, since she was last seen in that area, which we did.” The spokesperson for the Tshilwavhusiku police, Constable Musiwalo Mahuwa, confirmed that a missing person file was opened on 21 June and that the police are searching for the missing girl. Community

members said the boyfriend was known for forcing girls to fall in love with him. If they refuse, he beats them and forces them to quit school by abducting them during school hours. It’s not clear whether Gladys has run away with the man, but he remains the family’s prime suspect.

“We’re even afraid to say his name now, because he might start terrorising us anytime soon,” said a sad Razwimisani. “We don’t know where and how this will end. All we need is for our child to come back.”

Anyone with information about Gladys’s whereabouts can contact the SAPS at Tshilwavhusiku on 015 519 6020 or 082 451 71 63.

Businessman hacked to death Zim woman dies after assault Residents of Muduluni are still reeling with shock after a 62-yearold businessman, Alfred Phadziri, was hacked to death at his home on Saturday night.

Tshilwavhusiku SAPS spokesperson Sgt Thilivhali Malowa said that the police had opened a case of murder. Malowa said that Phadziri was asleep at his house when unknown suspects attacked him. They apparently used a sharp object to hit him over the head. From what could be established, the suspects broke a windowpane to gain entry to the room where Phadziri was sleeping.

“We are continuing with investigations to try and find out what might be the cause of the murder,” said Malowa. The police are appealing to anyone with information to assist them in bringing the murderers to book.

The younger brother of the deceased, Mr Samuel Phadziri, said that the death had robbed the family of a good person. “The incident has left our family traumatised and it

will take a long time and specialised counselling for us to recover fully.”

He expressed his appreciation to all the members of the community and especially the pastors in the area who supported them when they came to visit the family. The spokesperson for the Sanco branch in Muduluni, Mr Ramaru Kutama, said that several cases of murder in the Muduluni area had been reported since 2005, but no one had been arrested. “Our lives are at risk, because the suspects are not arrested and still continue to kill innocent people. It’s no longer safe for us to walk around at night as we usually did,” said Kutama.

The funeral will take place at the Muduluni Cemetery tomorrow morning at Killed: Alfred Phad06:00. ziri.

Mayor and SRPA discuss water issues Row over clinic’s shift to mayor’s village Water, or the lack thereof, was the most pressing concern at a meeting between the Makhado Municipality’s top management and the local ratepayers association. The meeting was called by Mayor David Mutavhatsindi.

“Water is our number one problem. Some people have now been without water for 30 days,” the chairperson of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA), Ms Inga Gilfillan, said at the meeting on 19 June.

At the meeting, Gilfillan handed a petition to Mutavhatsindi, signed by residents struggling with water. “We obtained 280 signatures in just one day,” said SRPA manager Mr Phillip Olivier.

In reply to the water crisis, the municipality’s director of technical services, Mr Thivho Ralulimi, said that government had been caught off guard with regard to the water supply. Fortunately, the consultants for the bulk supply line from Nandoni to Valdezia has been appointed and R29 million has been set aside for the project.

It was explained that in Makhado and Tshikota, a two-

day disruption in the water supply can take the municipality seven days to recover from. The cleaning of the reservoirs was hampered by power failures.

Ralulimi said that pump stations 1 and 2 could not function, due to a default problem in a Y-junction that would, at that stage, be replaced on 21 June. Once replaced, it would have taken two days for Makhado new town and the CBD to have water and three days for Tshikota.

Municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi confirmed this week that the default junction had been replaced and added “but as far as water is concerned, we cannot give a guarantee because the system from the Albasini Dam is ageing and a breakdown might happen at any given time”.

“If the water supply is still interrupted 10 working days after the promised date of the repair of the Y-junction, we shall take the matter up again,” Olivier said.

The town’s streets also came up for discussion. Gilfillan expressed concern that the curbing of the newly tarred streets had not been done, a situation that could cause rain to erode the

new road surface. She commended the municipality on the new sewerage works and urged the municipality to make sure that it is efficiently managed by qualified and experienced people. Public vending machines where electricity can be bought have been promised since 2008.

On this issue, the municipality assured the ratepayers that they are busy installing inhouse vending machines, which should be completed by August this year. Following electricity vending points at the municipality, vending points will be expanded to include businesses and ATMs. Another electricity issue was the Tshitandani Childcare project in Tshikota, where attempts to get electricity have been in vain since 2010. Mutavhatsindi referred the matter to the relevant department to be investigated.

Gilfillan said that the municipality’s refusal to approve building plans because of ratepayers' withholding rates and taxes was illegal. The municipality replied that they would refer the issue to their legal department.

Mutavhatsindi made it clear that he wanted the town to grow and that all should work together to resolve challenges and bring about successful changes. “This is our municipality… we all stay here... let us make a point of avoiding the term ‘them’, but rather say ‘us’ as this is ‘our’ home,” Mutavhatsindi said.

“The meeting was conducted in a good spirit. We look forward The Makhado Municipality, led by Mayor David Mutavhatsindi, to working with the recently met with the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) in new mayor. Yes, the an effort to address service delivery challenges in Makhado. According mayor did ask, tongue to a statement by the municipality, the two parties resolved that, working in cheek, why we did together, they will be able to address service delivery problems, such not put the issue of as shortage of water and the damaged roads. The mayor promised that paying back the money all challenges would soon be addressed. The association also said it was that we are withholdready to contribute to the development of the town.

A row has broken out in Giyani after a clinic which had been approved to be built at Mninginisi village was redirected to Mavalani, the home village of Greater Giyani Mayor Mr Pat Hlungwani.

The ward councillor at Mninginisi is Cllr Eddie Sithole, who is an independent councillor after he defected from the ANC during the list processes.

The clinic was approved two years ago before the local government elections and, at the time, the ward councillor was loyal to the ruling party.

Community members say Mavalani is a stone’s throw from Giyani town, where there is a hospital, and Shivulani village, where there is a clinic, whereas there are no health facilities at Mninginisi and other villages in Ward 1. As such, they say, Mavalani does not need a clinic as much as Mninginisi.

The community became more furious when the Department of Health and Social Development issued a letter dated 4 April headlined "Re: Requesting a meeting with the Mninginisi community", stating that the Mninginisi process to build a clinic has been suspended and that the clinic has been taken to Mavalani in another ward.

United Democratic Movement (UDM) councillor James Ndlovu said two weeks ago that there was a clinic within 10km from Mavalani, whereas there is no clinic in the neighbourhood of Mninginisi. "The decision to move the project from the Mninginisi community was apparently taken after the community snubbed the ANC councillor and voted for Eddie Sithole, who is an independent candidate," he added. Ndlovu has complained to the municipality as well as the department.

Ndlovu said the community of Mninginisi was angry and that it would not take the latest developments lying down.

The Greater Giyani Municipality shot down the allegations that it had redirected the clinic from Mninginisi to Mavalani last Tuesday. Municipal spokesperson Steven Mabunda said: “The Greater Giyani Municipality dismisses as unfounded the allegations that we re-directed the construction of a clinic from Mninginisi to Mavalani village. The fact is that the Department of Health, as informed by the municipality's Integrated Development Plan

(IDP) as well as the Council resolutions, allocated the clinic to Mavalani. As the municipality, we reiterate that we know nothing about Mninginisi being allocated a clinic in the first place."

He addedt: "We want to state on record that the question of the councillor at Mninginisi being an independent candidate is not even in the picture.”

He added that "at the same time, we acknowledge the desperate need for various services in all the 91 Greater Giyani communities, including Mninginisi.

We call for calm among our communities as their time will come,” said Mabunda.

Ndlovu was adamant that the decision was aimed at making the community lose confidence in the independent councillor and to say he does not deliver.

The Department of Health‘s answer, however, differs from that of the municipality.

Department of Health and Social Development’s provincial spokesperson Mr Phuti Seloba said that a decision was taken because of the integrated development plan as well as the local economic development and growth strategy as advised by the office of the mayor in Giyani. “We do not even know who is the councillor in the area,” he said.

Another blow for Kutama filling station The Kutama filling station in Maebane received yet another hard blow when thieves cut the corrugated sheets on the roof to gain entry to the premises.

The theft was discovered by Vho-Shonisani Rambuda, an attendant at the filling station, on the morning of 24 June, when she came to open the filling station. According to the police statement, a computer and cash register were missing. The overall amount of stolen property and damage is estimated at R8 000.

The spokesperson for the Tshilwavhusiku police, Con-

stable Musiwalo Mahuwa, confirmed the incident. “We’ve opened a case of burglary after a break-in at the Kutama Filling Station,” he said. “No arrests have been made thus far and our investigations continue,” he added.

This is not the first time that the filling station experienced an incident of housebreaking. On 3 March, thieves entered the filling station through a hole which they had cut in the roof.

They disconnected the alarm and used explosives to blast open a money safe.

No money was found inside the safe, but the overall damage was estimated at R8 000. In the earlier story published in the Limpopo Mirror, Rambuda said that, before leaving the place, the thieves had picked up things such as bottled oils and tea utensils and scattered them around after finding nothing inside the safe.

No arrests were made in this case either.

Anyone with information which can lead to the identification of the suspects can contact Capt Ramovha at 015 519 6020 or 076 426 81 23.

Border resident killed during service Four knife-wielding Zimbabwean men from Zaka village outside Beit Bridge fatally assaulted a fellow villager during a church service last week, police have said.

The local police spokesperson, Insp Tinaye Matake, said the incident occurred on Thursday (21 June) afternoon. The deceased was identified as Chipo Gwashure (25) of Maraire village.

Matake said that on the day af the incident, Gwashure, Dzingai Manongoro and Lungile Hwarara, all of the same village, went to attend a church service at the local village. “During the service, the three saw four men

arriving and, without warning, one of them grabbed Gwashure from the back and the other three suspects brandished knives before stabbing the victim,” he said.

When one of the church members asked why they had attacked the victim, one assailant said their victim knew what he had done, adding that he had wronged one of them. “Gwashure then managed to overpower the three men and made his escape before getting to a nearby homestead, where he met Promise Chamisa.

The victim quickly entered into one of the huts and closed the door. Chamisa then rushed to alert the church members, while leaving the victim at the mercy of

the suspects,” Matake said.

The assailants allegedly forced open the door, got inside and dragged the victim out of the hut, during which time they beat him with logs and a chain all over his body until he died. They then fled the scene.

According to the police report, when Chamisa came back with other church members, they found Gwashure’s lifeless body lying in a pool of blood. A report was made to the police and the body was taken to a local hospital mortuary for a post mortem.

Matake said they had since arrested the four suspects and they would appear in court soon, facing a murder charge.

The new 400-megalitre reservoir which will distribute water at Tshikuwi and surrounding villages.

By Phathutshedzo Luvhengo

Clean water at last for Tshikuwi area Following long water shortages in Tshikuwi and surrounding villages in Makhado’s Ward 36y, the new reservoir is finally in the process of being finished. The 400-megalitre reservoir will distribute water in these two villages in future.

Residents of the villages will soon get water at taps near their homes. They will no longer have to travel long distances to collect water.

People in these villages had been suffering more because, like other rural areas, a very

limited number of households have boreholes in their yard.

According to the local councillor, Cllr Mbulaheni Magada, the water shortage in the village started as early as 1994. “I am quite sure that everyone will be grateful because they know that, soon enough when they open their taps at home, there will be water” he said.

This water problem was also affecting the village children’s education. Learners were forced to rush home to queue for water.

It was only when tanks were

installed around several streets that the problems were partly addressed.

A donkey cart driver, Mr Ndivhuwo Liremi, who usually sells water to community residents also accepted the building of the reservoir.

He complimented the councillor on his.

“I am sure that, as a community, we are happy about his work and we urge him to continue delivering essential services to the people,” said Ndivhuwo.

dia stole part of the limelight on Friday night when they won the Vhembe District Municipality’s Youth in Business competition.

This vibrant group of young people won the Tourism/marketing sector and, apart from the trophy, also received the R150 000 prize money.

The Youth in Business competition was first held in 2008 and has become an annual event in Vhembe. According to the organisers, the purpose of the competition is “to cultivate the spirit of entrepreneurship, to support, to empower and to invest in the youth who stood up and participate in the economic development of our country.”

Makoya Multimedia has been in business for almost three years.

The team got together when Zoutnet, publishers of Limpopo Mirror and Zoutpansberger newspapers, launched a radio show in 2010. The morning show was aired on Makhado FM. Once the year-long contract with the radio station expired, the team decided not to split up, but rather to focus on events management and production.

The young business battled initially and, according to one of the members, Thato Ledwaba, it was difficult to keep the cashflow going while at the

base. “You have to simply stick to what you’re doing well and work hard,” added Hangwe Netshivhevhe, the second member of the trio. The third member, Ambrose Ranwashe, is also the technical guru, who can easily double up as a more-than-capable DJ at events.

Makoya Multimedia recently won the contract to organise this year’s annual Makhado Show. This task has been taking up most of their time the last couple of weeks and they are very excited about the event.

“If everything falls into place, we will have a very exciting show, with some top artists performing,” said Thato.

Makoya Multimedia ended first in the Tourism section, with Vele MT Arts & Sculpture second (R75 000 prize) and Musengavhadzimu third (R30 000).

The winner in the Agricultural section was Ndivhuwo Fruit Farms (R150 000), Nyambeni Agricultural was second (R75 000) and Tshifhango Aluwani Ramudzulu was third (R30 000).

The best youth SMME in Vhembe is Riakona Computer Training Centre (R150 000), with Sinyage Brands CC second (R75 000) and Vhuthuvha vho third (R30 000).

The quest for morality

Communication in the marriage Women love to talk-talk-talk, while men opt to remain quiet, even when they are hurting inside.

Men should therefore always note that the best way of loving your spouses is to talk to them and share with them the joys and sorrows of your life.

This reminds us of the importance of communication in building a relationship. Many marriages have ended in divorce because of a lack of communication and/or miscommunication. This can be avoided if we put lots of time into ensuring that our communication is improved in our marriages.

In order for good communication to exist between husband and wife, they both need to have good communication with Christ. When a good line of communication is open with God, it automatically opens that of good communication between the two. Devotion to God in terms of reading the Bible and prayer is key to unlocking a healthy relationship in marriage.

Good communication involves both verbal and non-verbal aspects.

Talking heals and married couples are therefore encouraged to share more about their joys and troubles and, in the process, learn to pray together about these matters. We must, however, learn to use proper

speech in our communication because words have a way of building and, at the same time, destroying the other person.

Where people are failing to talk more openly, face to face, they should be encouraged to write down whatever is in their hearts for the other person to read and respond, but this form of communication has its own limitations and verbal/oral communication should therefore be encouraged.

In any verbal communication, listening is the key – listen and take time to respond in terms of trying to internalize whatever you are discussing before responding hastily.

Listening is a skill that many people do not have, but it is one skill that can be learned.

Married couples are encouraged to learn to listen to one another more attentively. Listening is the disciplined ability to savor and internalise your partner’s words, much like you savor and enjoy a fine meal, a thoughtful gift, lovely music, or a great book.

Hugo of Fleury once said: “There is a time to say nothing, and a time to say something, but there is not a time to say everything”. Therefore, time spent listening to your mate is time well spent. - Prof Derrick Mashau (Derrick.Mashau@nwu.ac.za)

New traffic cops for Makhado In an effort to intensify law enforcement in its area of jurisdiction the Makhado Municipality recently appointed new traffic officers. The eight newly appointed traffic officers will assist the municipality in providing essential community services in areas of the municipality such as Dzanani, Vuwani, Waterval and Makhado.

The municipality also appointed two chief traffic officers. “We have also appointed four pound rangers who will assist with the removal and safekeeping of stray animals on our roads,” said municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi.

He added that a budget had been allocated for the establishment of loading zones for the control of stray animals at Waterval and Tshitale for the next financial year.

Bobodi said that, “The appointment of the new traffic officers is just a symbol of how our municipality is committed to service delivery to the people” . New traffic officers appointed include Ms Mphiwa Morotoba, Ms Lufuno Ramavhale, Ms Vhengani Mukwevho and Mr Rofhiwa Tshivhase.

Bobodi also urged all road users to obey the traffic laws at all times and for them not to drink and drive.

“Focus on education” - Mureri Young people must stop fighting political battles and focus on empowering themselves with skills that will help them to have a secure future.

These were the words of Archbishop Mureri, leader of the United African Apostolic Church, during the church’s national youth conference at Muratho Primary School in Tshiulungoma village on Sunday afternoon.

In his farewell speech to the more than 3 000 youths who came from different parts of the country, Mureri said young people must stop talking about war. He urged them to rather focus on education.

“I hear young people talking about war. Let me warn you that it sound easy to talk about war, but if you start it, you will regret it. I witnessed the war situation in Zimbabwe when I visited there in 1979 on a church mission. From what I saw at that time, I can tell you that war is deadly,” warned Mureri.

He also warned that war would not

only destroy lives, but it would also destroy the future of many people, including young children as he had witnessed in Zimbabwe.

Mureri urged the youth from his church of over 1,5 million members to listen to their leaders. “In this church, we respect and listen to our leaders.

If you want to involve yourselves in politics, do that outside the church.

The Bible says we must respect our political leaders as they are chosen by God,” he added.

He told the youth to stop destroying property while involved in protest marches. “If you have problems, speak to your elders and they will listen to you,” said Mureri, while adding that matric pupils should attend winter schools in order to be better prepared in their final exams later this year.

Cllr Lucas Manyuha, the acting mayor for Vhembe District, hailed Mureri as a “leader who assists government to overcome the multitude of challenges facing our community.”

They also handed a memorandum with their demands to Magistrate Andries Kellerman.

The residents were led by the Mungomani ANCWL and demanded that Matamela must not be given bail.

P&L HARDWARE 30TH BIRTHDAY

30 Junie 2012

Celebrating three decades of service and growth

1

The first decade “I would have never thought we would be where we are today,” says Mr Frans Prinsloo of P&L Hardware in Makhado. This year, the company celebrates its 30th birthday.

P&L Hardware is a family business that started in 1982 with one store. Between then and now, the group has grown to 39 wholly owned corporate stores, making it the largest privately owned hardware company in South Africa. The company is proud to announce that the same family values and principles have been applied since then and are still being applied today.

Prinsloo fondly remembers the day he and two partners, Messrs André Prinsloo (his brother) and Len Lemmer, got the opportunity to buy Venter’s Hardware store from the

late Mr Johan Venter in 1981. At that stage, Venter wanted to scale down his business and eventually close shop, but the two Prinsloo brothers and Lemmer all pitched in R15 000 and bought the store for a total amount of R45 000.

“At first we concentrated only on the one store. What really helped was the huge growth in the former Venda,” says Frans. In 1982, they moved Venter’s Hardware to where Midas was first situated in the then Trichardt Street (Songozwi). Not long after this, the trio expanded their reach by also buying Venda Building Supplies in Shayandima.

It was not long before they ran out of space and the only solution was a bigger building. A piece of vacant land was acquired in Kruger Street and construction on an own

building started. Upon completion, they moved Venter’s Hardware to the new building in 1985 and changed the name to Lempro.

That same year, the first P&L Hardware opened in the town’s industrial area. This was followed up by the opening of a second P&L branch in Shayandima in 1986, right next to Venda Building Supplies. Venda Building Supplies and Lempro catered mainly for the DIY enthusiast at that stage, while the P&L Hardware stores focussed more on contractors. P&L opened their third store in the erstwhile Messina in 1987, followed by a fourth and fifth P&L branch in Marble Hall and Tzaneen respectively in 1988.

“By the time we opened our fourth P&L branch, it had become hard work. We soon realised that we had to implement head office functions,” says Frans.

By 1989, the company introduced their first branch awards as incentives for staff to strive towards service excellence.

That same year, the award was scooped up by Venda Building Supplies, followed by P&L Marble Hall in 1990 and 1991, P&L Hardware Venda in 1992 In 1985, construction on an own building which would later house Lempro and P&L Louis Trichardt in 1993. was well underway.

P&L Hardware is a family business that started in 1982. Since then the group has grown to 39 wholly owned corporate stores. From left are Frans Prinsloo (director), Cecillia Prinsloo (director), André Prinsloo (CEO) and Melinda Prinsloo (financial manager).

Prinsloo fondly remembers the day he and two partners, Messrs André Prinsloo (his brother) and Len Lemmer, got the opportunity to buy Venter’s Hardware store in 1981 from the late Mr Johan Venter.

Venter’s Hardware was initially situated where Woolworths’ parking area is today.

P&L HARDWARE 30TH BIRTHDAY

30 June 2012

P&L Hardware remains a group that focusses on supplying hardware and building materials to mainly rural markets.

LIMPOPO MIRROR

Celebrating three decades of service and growth

The second decade

Investing in our own Since the inauguration of P&L’s training centre at Shayandima, this facility has grown into something P&L Hardware and the communities in which they operate can be proud of.

The centre has been fully accredited and upgraded to be a private Further Education and Training (FET) college.

What is remarkable about the centre is that it has steadily grown into an established and generally accepted “leader in its field” in the four provinces within which the company operates, namely Limpopo, Gauteng,North West and Mpumalanga.

Constantly supplying the needs of the ever-growing company, the centre trains between 180 and 200 learners per year, of which at least 80% are recruited from the street and guaranteed employment at the company after successfully completing their learnership.

In addition to training, P&L has a well-thought-out career plan set out for their staff, and this tempers the rate of outflow created by the demand for trained retail and wholesale workers in the sector.

P&L is currently also training its own team of instructors in the field of safety and security. This will enable the school to train and supply in all their needs, namely first aid (Level 1), basic fire fighting (Level 1) and OHSA Reps (Level 1).

As the P&L group is also involved in other fields, they have applied for and have been approved for branching out into the agricultural field (with the AgriSETA).

After successfully applying for an Extension of Scope, the centre is currently also busy with their own fully accredited assessors courses through which they aim to annually supply P&L with all the internal assessors they need.

The year 1993 also saw the opening of a P&L branch at Malamulele. With so many stores to run already, Frans decided to take a bit of a break in 1996. His decision inadvertently led to the second generation of Prinsloo taking over the company business.

“My wife and I decided to go overseas for three months. At that stage, André Jnr was branch manager in Shayandima. I asked him to come and sit in my office and basically just answer the phone and take messages while I was gone. When I came back, André had taken over and I was basically not needed anymore,” Frans remarks jokingly. By that time, Frans had already bought out his brother and Lemmer as partners. André Jnr wasted no time in extending the brand name even further in the

province with the opening of a P&L branch at Tshakuma in 1997. A year later, in March 1998, he opened P&L Giyani and in September of that year bought and opened P&L Boerebenodighede in Levubu.

October 1998 also saw the opening of P&L Matoks.

Another P&L branch was opened in Sibasa in 1999 and another two in 2001 in Mokopane and Seshego respectively.

With a total of 11 stores, the need for a central warehouse, from where the branches could be supplied, became apparent. This ultimately led to the opening of a P&L warehouse in Makhado in 2002.

P&L HARDWARE 30TH BIRTHDAY

Celebrating three decades of service and growth

The third decade In 2004, P&L Lebowakgomo and Mankweng opened and, with 13 stores open, it became necessary to rethink the structure of the business. The stores were divided into two regions, namely the Limpopo and Polokwane regions, and area managers were appointed. That same year, it also became necessary to have a warehouse and regional offices in Polokwane.

The fast growth of the company also gave rise to the need for a training centre at which P&L employees could be trained for the new branches. This led to the official opening of P&L’s training centre at Shayandima in August 2004.

In 2005, the company opened its 14th branch, this time in Burgersfort.

This was also a year of change.

An IT department was started to assist all the branches with their ITrelated problems. A marketing and merchandising manager was also appointed and new standards were implemented for all P&L stores. The company also implemented a new management system score cards, and communication within branches and the company was addressed by

means of Tic Tac meetings. P&L also got its own website in 2005. In addition, they started the Voluntary Trading Group (VTG), with a VTG manager being appointed and offices being opened in Pretoria for VTG stores.

P&L stores for Elim and Jane Furse followed in 2006. Also in that year, a financial manager was appointed, as well as a buyer, with offices in Musina for P&L to enable bulk purchases and better negotiations for the company.

During 2007, seven more P&L stores were opened, namely at Eltivillas, Bochum, Dzanani, Vondwe, Nkowankowa, Lenyenye and Temba respectively. This growth further necessitated the appointment of one more area manager for the Polokwane-south region. The need for a human resource manager also became apparent. P&L Credit was also started in 2007, while the training centre became a fully accredited W&R SETA training centre.

The company opened a record number of 10 new stores in 2008, namely at Bungeni, Acornhoek, Dwarsloop, Marite, KwaMhlanga, Hammanskraal, Mojadji, Siya-

bushwa, Kabokweni and Msogwaba respectively. A new marketing strategy ensured a record opening for Bungeni, and a new area manager for Mpumalanga was appointed.

The vast number of branches also necessitated the appointment of a second area manager for the Limpopo/Soutpansberg region.

By the end of 2008, P&L boasted a total of 33 corporate branches in four provinces, namely Limpopo, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and North West.

In 2009, store auditors were appointed to assist the area managers, as well as a direct marketing manager. The management of P&L was also restructured and a chief operations officer was appointment.

During 2011, P&L also opened stores at Xikundu, Zebediela, Tshikombani, Tafelkop and Sekgosese, as well as P&L Brick and Pave.

By now, the company boasted 39 branches and a workforce of 947 and was still growing. With a distribution centre opening in Silverton in June 2012 to supply the warehouses with their own imported stock, one can only imagine what the next 30 years will have to offer.

The fast growth of the company also gave rise to the need for a training centre at which P&L employees could be trained. This led to the official opening of P&L’s training centre at Shayandima by the then MEC for Education in Limpopo, Ms Joyce Mashamba, in August 2004.

P&L HARDWARE 30TH BIRTHDAY

30 June 2012

LIMPOPO MIRROR

Celebrating three decades of service and growth P&L has invested thousands of rands into local sports development over the years.

For many years now, they have been the main sponsor of the P&L Cycling Club and also boast their own sponsored soccer team. Not only do they sponsor, but they are also actively involved in sport, with CEO André Prinsloo and his wife Melinda participating as members of the P&L Cycling Club.

Our vision • To become the major hardware and building materials supplier in South Africa.

• To empower our communities through job creation, education, culture and social issues.

• Not only to build in brick and mortar, but to build an affluent society in which the growth and development of our country as a whole, is enriched.

• To grow profits in every P&L Hardware outlet by continuously improving buying power, range, image and standards.

It was through P&L’s immense buying power that the club secured a R1 million sponsorship from PPC Cement over the next three years for the Kremetart Cycle Races. This year saw renowned South African cyclist Anriette Schoeman ride in the new P&L cycle gear as brand ambassador of the Kremetart Races.

We play an active role in our community We strive to keep abreast of technology - We are P&L Hardware

Humanitarian help for Zim deportees The majority of Zimbabweans deported from South Africa through the Beit Bridge Border Post are now willing to take up the humanitarian assistance offered by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).

In the past, only a minority would accept assis­ tance, with the majority opting to cross back into the country illegally through undesignated entry points along the Limpopo River.

According to IOM statistics, 21 912 deportees accepted assistance at the IOM Beit Bridge Recep­ tion and Support Centre (BRSC) between 7 October 2011 and 31 May this year, out of a total of 25 827 deported during the same period. At the centre, deportees are offered food, temporary shelter, medication and free transport to proceed to their homes.The IOM spokesperson, Mr Knowledge Mareyanadzo, said the majority of those assisted were males. The IOM BRSC has a capacity to handle between 2 000 and 3 000 returnees per day, while the onsite temporary shelter can ac­ commodate at least 20 people at a given time. The organisation has contracted local bus companies to ferry the returnees to their homes.

The IOM has been providing Zimbabwean Crime

Arrested for assault A resident of Beit Bridge appeared in court last week on charges of indecent assault and theft of a cell phone and R500.

Timothy Chirasha (34) of House 1124 Du­ libadzimu Township in Beit Bridge town pleaded not guilty to a theft charge when he appeared before a local magistrate, Mr Innocent Bepura. The case was postponed to 4 July and Chirasha was granted a US$50 bail.

The court heard that on 17 June, at around 07:00, Chirasha spotted the victim sweeping the yard at her house. He then allegedly approached the woman and asked to sleep with her, promising to give her US$50 in return.

The complainant, however, refused and went into her house. It was testified that Chirasha then followed her into her room, where he forcibly hugged her as he continued pleading with her for sex. Incensed by Chirasha’s actions, the woman walked out of the room and left Chirasha inside alone. Chirasha took advantage of the complain­ ant’s absence and allegedly stole her cell phone and R500 and left the house.

On returning to her room, the woman discovered that her money and cell phone were missing. She reported the matter to the police and Chirasha was arrested.

deportees from South Africa and Botswana with assistance in the form of food, medication overnight accommodation, transport to travel to their homes as well as information on safe migration procedures since 2005. The organisation has opened two recep­ tion and support centres in Beit Bridge and Plum­ tree to cater for deportees from South Africa and Botswana. The local assistant regional immigration manager in charge of Beit Bridge Border Post, Mr Charles Gwede, said most of the migrants deported through Beit Bridge were people from Chipinge, Bulawayo, Chiredzi and Masvingo, adding that the majority of the deportees were males.

Since the deportations resumed, the Department of Immigration at Beit Bridge Border Post has been receiving an average of 80 people a day on less busy days, with the number increasing to more than 500 mostly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when those from the Lindela Detention Centre in Johannesburg have been cleared for new arrivals.

The deportations marked the end of an amnesty for illegal Zimbabwean immigrants staying in South Africa that ran from 5 May 2009 to 31 July last year.

Over 275 000 applications from Zimbabweans wishing to regularise their stay in South Africa have been processed, while several others were turned down and some are pending.

Community library nearing completion

Winners, organizers and motivational speakers pose for a photo after the results were announced.

By Elmon Tshikhudo

A sigh of relief is unfolding in the hearts of bookworms in the border town as the R2,8million Musina Nancefield community library is nearing completion.

People from the Nancefield residential area had to travel for a long distance to access library activities in town, after their beloved library was closed last year, after structural damage was witnessed at the building. The new initiative is funded by the provincial department of sport, arts and culture.

The mayor of Musina Munici­ pality, Cllr Carol Phiri, says the library will render a great service to the society. “A library plays a very important role in promot­

ing the progress of knowledge.

There are many people who love reading in our community, but they can’t afford to buy books.

Libraries are particularly useful for indigent communities. Even those who are better off can’t afford to buy all the books they require for their studies. The best place for easy access to books is a library,” she added.

Phiri has encouraged local community members to utilize the library to the maximum when it is completed. “It is upon us to make sure that this treasure helps our society to pump in the much­ needed knowledge for the benefit of our society.”

The library consists of a cir­

culation area where thousands of books and other material will be kept.

There will also be an audio­ visual room, a cataloguing sec­ tion, an informal reading area, a children’s library activity room, a spacious reading area, ablution facilities, an access control area and a kitchen.

The building will also be user­ friendly to the disabled.

Lydia Banda (14), a Grade 8 pupil of Musina High School, says that she is very happy that she will soon be able to use the li­ brary at her doorstep. “We thank all involved and there is no doubt that the library will continue to promote literacy in our area.”

“Education most important for future” While many youths were spotted in a drunken state as a way of celebrating Youth Day, hanging out of the windows of hired taxis and some at the district’s best-known holiday spots, ‘enjoying’ themselves, youths from many parts of Limpopo who are determined to make it in life were engaged in uplifting activities.

Several youths had a day filled with fun without alcohol, and they were feted with live music from local artists and also participated in a beauty competition.

They were fed bright new ideas on how to improve their lives through various motiva­ tional speakers who encouraged them to take their education seriously and to focus on their careers. This happened during the Miss Watkins Valeur 2012 competition at the Thohoyandou Town Hall on Saturday. Aspi­ rant beauties from all over the province came in their numbers for the prestigious event.

The brains behind the idea, Lutendo Nesengani, said that,

after doing some research, he found out that Youth Day was no longer used appripriately as many youths indulged in illicit drugs, sex and alcohol abuse.

He said many wandered aim­ lessly and ended up tempted to engage in unbecoming activi­ ties. “We have to come out with a counter­strategy to bring them together and keep them busy and for them to celebrate Youth Day in a positive way. We decided to host them for the whole day, competing among themselves and, by doing so, keep them away from the streets. This we have achieved and even sur­ passed our expectations in our first attempt as many heeded our call,” he said.

Nesengani said they were planning to have the event on an annual basis and they hoped to host an improved event next year as they are starting to pre­ pare for it now. He thanked Wat­ kins Valeur for having allowed him to use their brand and the other sponsors for their support.

Guest speaker Mr Takalani Magodzho told the beauties to

put their education first as it is their future. “Nothing is impos­ sible in life; as long as you put all your energy and dedication into what you are doing, you will succeed,” he said.

Ms Asnath Nesengani, Wat­ kins Valeur’s regional manager in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, who also motivated the girls, said her company would always support initiatives that sought to uplift the community. “We have seen very determined youths who want to make it in the world of beauty. The enthu­ siasm shown by the participants clearly shows that we have talent, and it is only a matter of time before we unearth beauties from this area who can make it at national level. This will serve as a launching pad for careers for our youths; they will soon see themselves on the covers of magazines,” she said.

Participants went home with beauty hampers from Watkins while the winner, Venetia Ra­ mantswana, also won herself, besides the hampers, a night at Porche­villa Hotel.

Letter

Open letter to mayor of Makhado Municipality

D

ear comrade honourable mayor Cllr David Mutavhatsindi!

This is your home­boy and your comrade Nthambeleni Gabara from Ward 1 of the Makhado Municipality, which is under ward councillor AJ Mukhaha.

When the leadership of the movement took a decision to deploy you as the political head of our municipality, there was happiness from residents of Tshimbupfe central and from outside the province. We were delighted because we saw it as a correct and relevant deployment by our ruling ANC to appoint you as the mayor because we knew that you were well aware of challenges in our village.

The truth cannot be compro­ mised, Comrade Mayor, and I’m not putting these words into your mouth … YOU ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE CHALLENGES OF TSHIM­ BUPFE CENTRAL. My cadre, you know very well that driving on our ungrad­ ed gravel roads from Vuwani to your home village, Malonga, needs some driving techniques.

I enjoy the comfort of my car, but not when I’m driving on that gravel road. Again, water is the most essential element to

life in the state of nature, but to us as residents of Tshimbupfe Central, getting this essential element is still a struggle.

We’ve been experiencing water shortages from I can’t remem­ ber when and I’m not out of order comrade, because you know very well what I’m talk­ ing about.

In April this year, I drove from Tshwane where I’m based to come back home to change the registration of my car from GP to Limpopo at the Vuwani municipal testing station. I’ve done so to contribute to the development of our roads in our municipal area if not across the province.

It is my wish to drive on a tarred road at my village and at this stage, I can’t imagine myself relocating from my village to the fast­growing and developing township with no sewage system. While I fully understand that you are also responsible for improving the financial management in our municipality, it is again my ex­ pectation that in your municipal budget, more funds should be allocated to improve the living conditions of the historically disadvantaged communities.

Comrade, I’m saying this be­ cause in all the villages where

the Comprehensive Rural De­ velopment Programme (CRDP) is currently being implemented, a sense of vibrancy is evident.

The creation of decent work and sustainable livelihoods lies at the heart of the CRDP. My leader, I’m not writing this letter to be popular, but to alert you that residents of Ward One (Tshimbupfe Central) can­ not wait anymore to see their village turned into a construc­ tion site. We expect much from you and it is our view that you won’t disappoint us … if you can prioritise to develop Tshimbupfe and all rural com­ munities within our municipal­ ity, nobody will accuse you of trying to turn such villages into New York City.

Comrade, if I’ve brought the municipality into disrepute by addressing this issue through this platform, please don’t throw me outside the area of jurisdiction of our municipality as it might be very cold for me.

Nthambeleni Gabara, Tshwane (Letter shortened) Nthambeleni Gabara is from Tshimbupfe, White Moon, and he is a senior reporter of the government news agency BuaNews and he wrote this let­ ter in his personal capacity.

Mpheni residents build own road, now they want a bridge A group of residents from Mpheni Block A3 in the Elim area embarked on a project to clear out some rocks, trees and solid gravel mounds in order to open up a road which will then connect the area to the main road. The men have been working on the project since March this year and now the road, named Caribbean Street, has finally been opened.

Community members say they have been without a road since the first democratic elections were held in 1994. According to a long­standing member of the ward committee, Ms Elizabeth Mushapo, numerous requests and proposals for a road were submitted to the Makhado Municipality throughout the years. The municipal only kept on making fruit­ less promises, she said. “Cllr Masuka promised to forward our proposal for a bridge to the Makhado Cllr Sipho Masuka has promised that the Municipality,” said Mushapo.

R25 000 for info regarding missing boy

Happy pupils holding chairs pose for a photo with the school principal and officials from Old Mutual during the handover.

New furniture for Shigombe Primary An atmosphere of excitement prevailed at Shigombe Primary School outside Malamulele when lady luck came smiling on them.

The school, with more than 500 pupils and located in one of the most rural parts of the Mal­ amulele area, received a donation of 300 chairs for pupils and office furniture for the principal from Old Mutual. They also received sporting equipment and playing fields from the National Lottery Fund.

The official handing over of the donations was held at the school premises last Friday.

Speaking during the presentation, Ms Tsakani Chauke, Giyani Old Mutual Group Schemes branch manager, said their relationship with the school dated back to 2007, when they donated R20 000 worth of desks after learning that pupils were sitting on the floor during classes.

“During our visit to the school, we also found out that the principal’s office did not have any furniture.

We made a commitment that we would assess our coffers and, if possible, we would come back. Well, here we are today, fulfilling the promise we made years ago,” she said.

Chauke said her company had made count­

less interventions in communities and in areas of education.

The principal, Mr Risimati Hlungwani, was over the moon. “The donation came at a time when we were still thinking of ways to implement our devel­ opmental plans at the school. We are very excited and we hope this will instil dignity in the pupils who did not have chairs and sporting resources,” he said.

The police have decided to offer a reward to anyone who can furnish them with information regarding the whereabouts of the 11-year-old Theophilus Tshivhi of Madombidzha who went missing at Maname in Nzhelele in January this year.

The provincial police are offering R25 000 to anyone who can furnish them with information that can lead to the recovery of the missing boy.

When Theophilus disappeared on 17 January, he had gone to Maname in the company of his sangoma neighbour, Ms Elisabeth Ramaremela (60), her husband Johannes, Sello Tlhaoele (21), and two other sangomas, Ms Alilali Ndou (81) and Ntakuseni Ndou (32).

The sangomas had gone to the area to col­ lect traditional herbs and plants. They were subsequently arrested and charged with the kidnapping of the boy, but were later released as the director of public prosecution cited that there was no evidence linking them to the case.

The case was reopened, following the inter­ vention by the provincial commissioner, Lt Gen Simon Mpembe, who promised to re­investigate the case, during his recent visit to the Tshivhi family.

Now the police are appealing to anyone who knows what had happened to the boy to come forward. Siloam police spokesperson W/O Ed­ ward Tharaga said that anyone with information can contact the police or visit their police offices at Siloam. “Anyone who reveals the necessary

The missing boy’s father, Takalani Mabusha, said that the family was happy about the new developments. “The re­investigation of the case has brought hope to us. We are happy that the provincial com­ missioner is a man of his word. We can see that the case is continu­ ing,” he said.

Coal of Africa’s mining footprint five times bigger Following their acquisition of Rio Tinto’s Chapudi Coal Project, Australian mining company Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL) will start a series of exploration drillings on 41 farms as part of their new Greater Soutpansberg Project.

In effect this will mean that CoAL’s proposed coal mines in the Limpopo Val­ ley and northern slopes of the Soutpans­ berg will be five times the original size.

These new developments follow the sale of prospecting rights that CoAL is about to finalise with Rio Tinto. The Minister of Mineral Rights, Ms Susan Shabangu, had already given her stamp of approval for the deal in May. The proposed mine, now named the Greater Soutpansberg Project, will be situ­ ated in the Vhembe Biosphere, extending over a total length of 95km from east to west. This is according to an information document about the project that was made available to the Limpopo Mirror by Naledi Development, independent consultants for CoAL. Naledi will undertake the public participation process.

The information document was issued to inform the 133 landowners that fall within the project’s boundaries of CoAL’s intent to drill 213 exploration boreholes over the next 10 months. This, according to the document, will provide CoAL with a better understanding of “the location, extent and quality of the scarce coking coal resource.”

Additionally, a number of environ­ mental baseline studies will be under­ taken in order to perform a high­level environmental screening of the proposed

projects. These proposed projects include registered as affected or concerned parties the Chapudi project (Waterpoort) and the will once again be afforded the opportu­ nity to comment on the final environmen­ Mopanie Project.

Contractors down tools in protest The electrification of Murunwa village, which falls under the Makhado Municipality’s jurisdiction, hit a snag when workers downed tools in protest for not receiving payment.

Blanty General Trade, a com­ pany owned by a Zambian na­ tional, Lloyd Navanda, was awarded a R1.1 million tender to electrify the village situ­ ated in the Nzhelele area by the Makhado Municipality. The electrification process at the vil­ lage started in September and it was expected to be completed in December 2011, but due to the unpaid salaries of workers, this deadline was missed.

For the past three weeks, the 14 workers have decided to down tools and demand their unpaid salaries for more than five months. One of the workers,

Ms Shumani Nedombeloni, said their employer owed them R103 000 in total. She said Navanda told them that he was unable to pay them because he had not been paid by the Makhado Municipality.

“At first we continued wor­ king, even though we did not get our salaries. They (management) were coming up with different excuses. We now decided to stop working until they give us what is due to us,” she said. Nedom­ beloni said she had to borrow money from friends and relatives to make ends meet and the fact that she hadn’t received a salary had turned her into a beggar.

She also accused the company of having poor working condi­ tions, adding that if the company really cared about its employees, it would not have not failed to

pay them for their hard work.

According to Nedombeloni, even their efforts to address their grievances with the ward councillor, Nehemia Madzhiga, proved fruitless as he never helped them.

When Limpopo Mirror con­ tacted the owner of the company, Mr Navanda, he confirmed that he cannot pay his workers. He was quick to shift the blame to the Makhado Municipality and said that they had only paid him R400 000 in December last year.

He promised that as soon as the municipality paid him, the wor­ kers would get their salaries.

Municipal spokesperson Louis Bobodi confirmed that they still owe Navanda’s company but also promised that the municipa­ lity would pay him soon.

The MEC for Safety and Security in Limpopo, Ms Florence Radzilani, joins other sponsors (Samsung Africa and the International Olympic Committee)in presenting sports kit to the recipients during the World Refugee Day celebrations, held at Seshego Satdium on Saturday.

“South Africa is good for us” - refugees

Some of the unpaid workers. From left are Khau Mantsha, Shumani Nedombeloni, Tshifhiwa Tshiovhe, Allan Gavanda and Mutshutshu Siobo.

Refugees and homeless people who have left their countries of birth and are now living in towns such as Musina, Makhado and Giyani spoke out during the World Refugee Day function held at the Seshego Stadium on Saturday.

One of the refugees and a mother of three children, Yusra Mohamed (30), from Mogadi­ shu in Somalia, said she came to South Africa in 2000, after war had erupted in her country.

Due to certain difficulties, her family members had to separate and went to Ethopia, Kenya, Europe and even the USA to get to places of safety.

A happy Mohamed said that she felt at home in South

Africa because she was mar­ ried and blessed with three children, Zahra (4), Saadiq (7) and Sadaat Mohamed (10).

“South Africa provides to me and my children, all born in Polokwane, a roof over our head, a meal on the table and a future far brighter than that of many other refugees.”

She said it was painful when she left her country and to be separated from loved ones.

She also revealed that her challenge was criminal ele­ ments in communities who targeted the most vulnerable members of the community, both hosts and migrants.

“South Africa is a free coun­ try, compared to other coun­

tries, and we still need more safety and security from the police,” she added.

The MEC for Safety and Se­ curity, Ms Florence Radzilani, who officiated on behalf of Premier Cassel Mathale, said that any person perpetrating acts of violence against refu­ gees would be arrested and punished.

“We are urging our commu­ nities to work together with all refugees to make our country and the continent prosperous.

We should leave this occasion with a renewed energy to cre­ ate a conducive environment for refugees to reside in our pro­vince without any intimida­ tion,” Radzilani said.

One of the refugees and a mother of three children, Ms Yusra Mohamed (30) from Mogadishu in Somalia, describes the turmoil in her country that forced her to come to South Africa in 2000.

Maanda Maladzha, Try Again's right flank, was unlucky to see his shot going a little wide after receiving a beauti­ ful pass from Ndivhuwo Lethole. This happened when the game was only eight minutes old.

The Ramantsha lads came close to scoring when their midfielder, Marcus Masipa, forced his way through the Try Again defence and released a volley that caused the Try Again keeper, Tshepiso Manavhela, to stretch to the limit to palm the ball away for a corner kick.

The home side then effected their first change to their origi­ nal team by introduc­ ing Tebatso Duba for the weary Muthatlelo Thoka. Duba formed a deadly combination with Maanda Maladzha and Balanganani Mafela at the forefront.

The struggle con­ tinued, with the local lads pressing hard in search of the second goal. Maanda Maladzha caught the Ramantsha FC keeper, Ndivhuwo Raliphada, off guard when he tried his luck from the 35-metre area.

Rospa to support Baroka in play-offs Rospa United will support Baroka FC during the Vodacom Promotional League playoff matches, which will be staged in Polokwane next week.

The round-robin matches will start on Monday and end on Sat­ urday, 8 July.

Rospa United’s reason for sup­ porting Baroka is not out of love, but purely personal gain. Accord­ ing to the marketing manager of United, Mr Joseph Makushu, their future as an affiliate of the Vodacom Promotional League is dependent on Baraka’s perfor­ mance in the play-offs.

Rospa United finished their league programme in the third-

last position on the log. Three teams will be relegated to the lower league if Baroka fail to make the grade in the promo­ tional play-off matches. Should Baroka gain promotion to the National First Division (NFD), only two teams will face the chop, leaving Rospa United on the safe side.

The champions from the nine provinces will battle it out for promotion to the National First Division, with the top two gain­ ing promotion.The nine teams which will vie for promotion in the historic event are: Baroka FC (Limpopo), The Vardos FC (Gauteng), Maluti FET Col­

lege FC (Free State), Batau FC (Mpumalanga), Island FC (Kwa­ zulu Natal), Tornado FC (East­ ern Cape), Kakamas Sundowns (Northern Cape), Milano United (Western Cape) and Soshanguve Sunshine (North West).

It will not be the first time that Baroka will try their luck in the promotional playoff matches.

They qualified to play in the play-offs last season, but could not make it.

Sevutsa Stars from Mpuma­ langa and Chippa United from the Western Cape were promoted to the National First Division last season.

More Star players for Black Leopards As part of their preparations for the coming soccer season, Black Leopards have signed a number of players to strengthen the team.

According to the team’s general manager, Mr Sam Khaphathe, they have signed two players from Kaizer Chiefs, Thomas Sweswe and Brian Amidu.

Sweswe is a Zimbabwean and Amidu a Nigerian.

Khaphathe revealed that the paperwork regard­ ing the movement of the two players to Lidoda Duvha was finalised during a meeting with the players earlier this week.

Khaphateh also confirmed his meeting with the Santos’ goalkeeper, Tsepo Motsoeneng, but refused to comment on the outcome of their discussions. A source close to the club told Limpopo Mirror that Motsoeneng had signed and that the two parties had agreed to remain tight-lipped on the matter until Santos have played their final promotional play-off match against Chippa United at the Phillipi Stadium in Cape Town tomorrow.

The source has also confirmed that Leopards have acquired the services of two players from Dy­ namos, Thulani Ntshingila and Miya Mondli. When asked about Ntshingila and Mondli, Khaphathe said that negotiations with the two players were at an advanced stage and that the deals could be sealed anytime soon. Ntshingila has been Dynamos’s captain for three seasons.

Black Leopards recently released their Zimba­ bwean striker, Kingston Nkhatha, to Kaizer Chiefs.

Apart from Nkhatha, Lidoda Duvha also released Khethowakhe Masuku to Orlando Pirates.

In the meantime, Black Leopards jetted to Sudan to honour their CAF Confederations Cup fixture

against Elm Merich FC on Wednesday afternoon.

They will play against the same team in their return match, either at the Peter Mokaba or the Giyani Stadium in two weeks’ time.

Winter warmers for hundred needy children About 100 needy children in Vhembe will say goodbye to the cold conditions this winter.

This comes after Nedbank, through its Nedbank Foundation, handed out blankets to the Vhutavhatsindi­based Kondelelani Health Project. The blan­ kets were officially handed to the acting mayor of Vhembe, Cllr Lucas Manyuha, during a function held at the municipal­

ity’s boardroom last Monday afternoon.

Mr Gary Markson, the bank’s regional manager for Limpopo and Mpumalanga, said the blankets were part of their an­ nual winter campaign. Now in its third year, the Nedbank Winter Campaign was launched at the beginning of June this year. “Since we started in 2010, we have used more than R1,5million and have bought 13 500 blankets. So far, over

15 000 vulnerable people have benefitted from this campaign.

We will continue to identify needy communities through community struc­ tures and make the necessary interven­ tions,” he said.

Cllr Manyuha hailed the donation, say­ ing it would go a long way in addressing the social needs of the impoverished and making a difference in their lives.

Winter warmers galore: happy children and project staff hold the new blankets donated to them by Nedbank.

Invader fruit fly discovered The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) has recently discovered new detections of an invader fruit fly known as Bactrocera invadens – a quarantine pest - in Limpopo Province.

This fruit fly is a highly invasive species with a wide range of hosts and it causes severe damage to its host plants. The hosts include commercial fruit such as mango, citrus, guava, papaya and bananas and wild fruits such as marula and wild figs, as well as ‘vegetables’ such as bell peppers, pumpkins and tomatoes.

The fruit fly is said to have been spread across Sub­Saharan Africa after being detected in Kenya in 2003, and now it occurs in many African coun­ tries, including Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi and Zambia as well as the northern parts of Botswana, Mozambique and Namibia. It evidently also occurs in Zimbabwe.

National Chief Director: Stakeholder Relations and Communications in the Department of Agri­ culture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) Mr Selby Bokaba said in a recent statement that several new detections were recently discovered in the Vhembe district this year. "The first of the series of detections occurred next to the Limpopo River on 15 February 2012 at Beitbridge, Weipe and the Pontdrift areas. The other detections occurred in the Musina town, Tshipise and in Louis Trichardt.

The process of eradicating the current pest has been initiated in all the affected areas," he said.

Bokaba said that the National Plant Protec­ tion Organisation of South Africa (NPPO­ ZA), which functions in DAFF through the Directorate Plant Health (DPH) and Director­ ate Inspection Services (DIS) as well as Di­ rectorate Food Import and Export Standards (DFIES), in close col­ laboration with the fruit industry, has put contin­ gency actions into place since 2006. "These in­ clude a surveillance programme as part of an early warning sys­ tem against exotic fruit flies," he said, adding that traps to detect exot­ ic fruit flies are placed in production areas, along road transects, at ports of entry and in urban areas close to municipal garbage dumps, hotels, sports grounds and other strategic places coun­ trywide.

He added that there are currently approxi­ mately 1 500 traps, with the majority located in northern Limpopo, cov­ ering border fences, bor­ der posts, roads leading from border posts as well as nearby towns and production units.

According to Bokaba, quarantine measures are being implemented in all the affected areas, including the residential areas, to contain and to eradicate the pest.

Tshikhwani Stone Breakers the new Limpopo Dairy champs Tshikhwani Stone Breakers emerged as the champions of the Limpopo Dairy League when they beat their rivals, Madombidzha Celtic, 1-0 at the Madombidzha grounds on Sunday.

Celtic were strong at the far back and their striking force started off well, but the team lacked cohesion in the middle of the park. Stone Breakers tried to break through the defence by ballooning balls from behind, but to no avail. Celtic’s defence was rock solid, allowing nothing to get through.

Thabiso Mukondeleli of Stone Breakers was booked for using unlawful tactics early in the match.

Breakers enjoyed more ball pos­ session, but their promising moves were turned into nothing by the Celtic defenders. No goal was seen during the first half.

The trend continued in the sec­ ond half, mainly due to the fact

that Celtic were cooling the ball down in the middle, thus giving their opponents no chance to do as they pleased. Matters got worse for Breakers when their right back, Tendani Davhana, was booked for faking an injury in the 48th minute.

The only goal for Breakers was scored in the 64th minute. Abby Raphulu tried his luck from the 25-metre area. The keeper of Celtic, Aston Masase, misjudged the flight of the ball and he suffered the pain of watching it go beyond his reach.

Breakers introduced Martin Dlamini for goal scorer Abby Raph­ ulu shortly afterwards. The replace­ ment proved to be a fortuitous move on the part of their technical staff.

Dlamini was rock solid at the back, defending all the tricky moves from their opponents.

Thabo Mamburu of Celtic was cautioned with a card for rough tackling on Morethe Letlalo.

Morethe Letlalo shields the ball while Tshilidzi Maumela tries to intercept.

Muraida Youth Development went home with a new soccer kit and a floating trophy during the prize-giving ceremony of the Luvhengo Mungomeni Youth Development U/17 League held at the Ramavhoya show grounds on Saturdya.

Luvhengo Mungo­ meni, a Moroka Swal­ lows defender, said he decided to form this structure to make sure that the youth are kept busy with something they can enjoy. This can also help them to identify talent. Mungo­ meni said he realised that many of the young people in the area were involved in crime, as well as alcohol and drug abuse, because of a lack of entertainment. “My purpose is to develop and to unearth various talents in young people at grassroots level,” he said. He added that it was good to have sports-loving business people like the Mu­ nakisi Company and Dr Mbavhalelo Manen­ zhe, who sponsored the league and knock-out.

A teacher, Mr Shon­ isani Mukhwantheli, was the guest speaker.

He pointed out that sport was the most effective way to draw the youth away from gangsterism, drugs and alcohol abuse.

He appealed to the pri­ vate sector to pump more funds into the de­ velopment of sports. Dr Mbavhalelo Manenzhe revealed that the spon­ sorship will increase every season, depending on the financial position of the business.

Luvhalani Sunshine Pirates won the Muku­ nis Cup and went home with a floating trophy and new soccer kit.

Mishack Netshianane of Muraida Youth De­ velopment FC won four awards for being player of the season, top goal scorer, players’ player of the season and player of the Munakisi Cup.

Fifteen members of the Soutpansberg Athletics Club this year formed part of the estimated 20 000 athletes who competed in the annual Comrades Ultra-marathon from Pietermaritzburg to Durban on 3 June. The local athlete who sported the best time was Mulalo Ravele, who completed the gruelling 89km race in 08:41:59. Other finishers were Mashudu Phalanndwa (09:18:50), Kanakana Manwadu (09:33:57), Mark van Deventer (10:01:11), Mpelo Thupani (10:03:35), Kobus Jordaan (10:11:27), Nkumeleni Mutavhatsindi (10:38:21), Fhatuwani Modau (10:43:29), Wilna Whitcomb (10:56:09), Juanette Barnard (11:35:16), Nyiko Nghatsane (11:39:25), Craig Whitcomb (11:50:46), Hendrik Spies (11:50:46) and Daniel Mkansi (11:55:22). Kobus Jordaan also received his permanent green number for completing his 10thComrades Ultra-marathon.
