SRPA wants to know where the water, sewerage system and electricity will come from for new development

Review decision, asks SRPA By Linda van der Westhuizen

The Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) has lodged an appeal against the decision that the Green Belt area north of Stubbs Street in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) be developed into a large business centre and a hotel. The green light for the development of Extension 9 (forming part of the town’s Green Belt area) was given by the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET) in December last year. The development includes the construction of a 35 000m2 retail centre, a 10 000m2 office complex and a 150-bed hotel. The Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association raised its concerns with regard to the higher impact and demand on sewerage, water and electricity, especially in light of the fact that Makhado (Louis Trichardt) does not have a consistent supply of water. The SRPA says that the proposed development is not sustainable. According to the SRPA, a thorough investigation regarding pollution of underground water had not been done by the environmental authorities and the Department of Water Affairs. It is a mountain catchment area that should be conserved and natural vegetation is preserved, says the SRPA, referring to the Mountain Catchment Areas Act 63 of 1970 and the Protected areas Act (amended) Act 31 of 2004.

“Since the zoning and rezoning application, significant changes have taken place in the environment, including the erection of Makhado Crossing shopping complex, which is to date not fully let,” states the SRPA. The basis of the appeal is that the need, desirability and sustainability of the proposed development had not been considered. “The environmental authorities did not themselves consider need and desirability, nor did they check to consider whether it was in fact addressed by the local authority,” states the SRPA. They also refer to the absence of a social impact study and a traffic impact study. The lack of proper social consultation and transparent information was mentioned, while the focus was on the needs of the developer. “The needs of society were neglected. One of the purposes of public participation is to afford people the opportunity to express their views on the desirability of a development that will be affecting them. There was not one public consultation or hearing,” says the SRPA Chairperson, Ms Inga Gilfillan. The SRPA further contends that the decision to undertake the development is unconstitutional. NEMA, which was enacted to give effect to section 24 of the Constitution, embraces the concept of sustainable development. Section 24 (7) requires that any investigation must, as a minimum, investigate the cumulative impact of the proposed development on the environment, socio-economic

conditions and cultural heritage. “They failed to apply their minds to the socioeconomic impact of the proposed development,” says Gilfillan. The SRPA lodged their appeal within the prescribed period but had not received any response to date. LEDET was convinced that “any potentially detrimental environmental impacts

resulting from the proposed development can be mitigated to acceptable levels,” according to the final Basic Assessment Report (BAR) that was received in June last year. The proposed development will not significantly “alter the sense of place of the surrounding area.” According to the department, the proposed development

will have a positive impact on the local economy, crime will be less and contributions to be paid to the municipality will eventually result in better service delivery. In the meantime, Makhado Municipality spokesperson Louis Bobodi said on 18 March that the municipality “is working around the clock for the provision of bulk services” for the proposed development.

As developers again set their sights on the town’s sensitive Green Belt area, the SRPA is objecting to the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism’s granting of permission to have the area developed.

It’s all about the good times.

Alleged corrupt policeman arrested A Musina policeman, Constable Dakalo Sitsula (27), was arrested last Friday after he had allegedly robbed a Zimbabwean cigarette smuggler of his cash and illegal supply. It is alleged that Sitsula stopped the smuggler during his patrol. Instead of taking him to a police station, however, Sitsula allegedly took the Zimbabwean man to a secluded area where he searched him and found him in possession of a large quantity

of illegal cigarettes from Zimbabwe. It is alleged that, instead of arresting the man, Sithula allowed the man to walk free, on condition that he pay him a bribe. In the Zimbabwean man’s statement, he told Sitsula that he only had R400 with him. The Zimbabwean smuggler afterwards reported the matter to the police and picked out the constable from an identity parade. Sitsula appeared in court on the

same day on charges of corruption and extortion. He was released on R1 000 bail, while his case was postponed until 28 June. Limpopo commissioner LtGen Simon Mpembe said corruption would not be tolerated in the police force. “Anyone who breaks the rules will be caught and punished. Members [police] should not expect any favours, no matter how embarrassing it may be,” he said.

BUSINESS talk Padveiligheid

Gratis ondersoek maak pad veiliger In die gees van ‘n veiliger Paas naweek en vakansie, bied Hi-Q-sentrums lands wyd weer ‘n gratis veiligheids on der soek van motors aan. “Bande lyk dalk goed, maar hulle is baie veiliger, sal beter werkverrigting lewer en meer brandstofdoeltreffend wees as hulle optimaal gebalanseerd en hul banddruk korrek is. Om die waarheid te sê, ‘n band met net 20 persent onder die ideale druk, kan brandstofgebruik met soveel as 10 persent vermeerder en dis baie om te betaal vir ‘n klein bietjie vars lug,” sê Lize Hayward, Hi-Q se kommunikasiebestuurder.

Hayward verduidelik dat ‘n band met te lae druk, meer energie verbruik, wat die rolweerstand verhoog en die voertuig se brandstofgebruik minder doeltreffend maak. “Dit verminder ook die loopvlakleeftyd van die band, wat beteken dat jy die band gouer as wat nodig is, moet vervang. Die mees belangrike is egter die feit dat dit bloot gevaarlik is. As bande nie die korrekte lugdruk het nie, sal die voertuig nie behoorlik versnel, rem of stuur nie. “Veiligheidstoestelle soos anti-sluitremstelsels mag dalk nie behoorlik funksioneer nie – en om met ‘n band met ‘n te lae

lugdruk of ‘n oorlaaide band teen hoë spoed te ry, veral op ‘n warm somersdag, verhoog die risiko van ‘n gevaarlike bandbars. Volgens Hayward sal HiQ-sentrum ‘n 10-punt veiligheidsondersoek op voertuig uitvoer. “Dit behels dat hulle al vier bande nagaan sowel as die noodwiel vir loopvlakdiepte en druk, die voorste en agterste skokbrekers, die remskoene, skywe en vloeistof sowel as die battery, uitlaatstelsel en windskermveërs. “Sou enige van die voertuigondersoeke ‘n geslyte of foutiewe onderdeel toon, sal die tegnikus die korrekte plan van aksie voorstel,” sê Hayward.

Progress still very slow with new landfill site When will the Makhado Municipality ever start developing the much-needed new waste-management site for Makhado (Louis Trichardt) and why is the progress so slow? “A firm of consulting engineers have been appointed to conclude construction designs and drawings and to supervise construction,” the Makhado Municipality said in an answer per email on 12 March. The name of the consulting engineer was asked but was not supplied. A local firm of good reputation was already in possession of the complete design for the new landfill site more than two years ago. At that stage, a Pretoria-based company had apparently been awarded the tender and it was expected that this company would sub-contract a local company. That was after concerns about the intolerable state of the existing landfill site had been raised for more than a decade. Council has been dragging its feet regarding the new landfill site on the Vivo road since at least 2007, when the local taxpayers association attended a steering committee meeting. When asked recently to whom the tender had been awarded, the municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, said that the project had been advertised but “the municipality could not appoint as bidders could not meet the prescribed requirements. The latter implies that the project should be re-advertised.” In December 2011, the municipality said that the development of the new waste-management site would start the moment that funds became

available. Makhado Mayor David Muthavatsindi said in his budget speech in June last year that the municipality would develop a new landfill site in Makhado and that an amount of R5 million had been set aside for the project. “We shall be closing the existing landfill site in Makhado and an amount of R1.2m has been set aside [for that],” the mayor said. Bobodi confirmed that the project was included in the 2012/13 budget. The source of funding was indicated as the Municipal Infrastructure Grant. The construction of the first phase of the new With the current landfill site in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) brimming over, the question has been landfill site has not yet raised when the new landfill site will get off the ground. commenced. The process for a new landfill site, as cited by the South African Waste Information Centre (Sa• Cnr Rissik & President Street, Louis Trichardt • Tel: 015 516 2606 wic), indicates that the design has to be completed before the permit for the new landfill site is issued by the Department of Water Affairs. 1Lt Specrylic 1Lt Specrylic 1kg Formula Since the feasibility Clear Fast Hardener 40 Ultra Fill studies had been done Bodyfiller and the permit had been obtained, it is time for the next step, which is the preparation of the new site.

The Makhado Municipality said that no tenders .20 .80 had been advertised as yet for the closure or the .25 each each each rehabilitation of the existing landfill site. The objectives of landfill closure are to rehabilitate the landfill, so as to ensure that the site is environmentally and publicly acceptable and suited to the implementation of the proposed end-use (Sawic).

Rapid spread of cholera discussed

Zimbabwean and South African stakeholders met in Beit Bridge on Monday to explore ways to contain the rapid spread of cholera between the two countries. The meeting, which was called by the Beit Bridge Civil Protection Unit (CPU), follows an outbreak of the disease in Musina town, where four suspected cases were detected three weeks ago. The senior clinical manager at Musina Hospital, Dr Allick Dube, said of the four cases, only one involving a 39-year-old patient, was confirmed. Samples for three others tested negative. The cases involved a 10-year-old boy, a six year-old girl and a three-month-old baby. The baby later died, however, despite having tested negative. “The situation is, however, under control as of now,” he said. The district medical officer for Beit Bridge, Dr Takaitei Kanongara, said they had nine suspected cholera cases detected from four rural clinics in the district. He said there was one confirmed case of a man from Shashe village, who is suspected to have contracted the disease in South Africa where he had visited a farm in Musina. Kanongara said they had also conducted sample tests on nine suspected cases in Makakavhule, Tshamnangana, Swereki, Shashe and Beitbridge District Hospital and they had all tested negative. He said the sample tests conducted so far indicated that the cholera strain was less harsh. The acting Beit Bridge CPU chairperson, Mr Peter Moyo, called for joint efforts in fighting cholera, which had claimed dozens of lives in 2008. In Beit Bridge, the disease left 54 people dead from about 5 000 recorded cases. Speaking during the meeting, the provincial senior manager for health care

services in the Department of Health in Limpopo, Dr Nkadimeng Moo, said Vhembe District had recorded an increase in cases of diarrhoea. He also urged stakeholders to intensify awareness campaigns at the Beit Bridge Border Post. “We need to intensify our awareness campaigns, especially at Beit Bridge Border Post, where we anticipate a sharp increase in the volume of traffic as travellers, particularly ZCC members, will be travelling to Limpopo for their annual church conference during the Easter holidays. We urge the worshippers to take great caution. We need to work collectively as the communicable diseases have no boundaries,” he said. Stakeholders also noted that there was an urgent need to engage both Zimbabwean and South African immigration and customs authorities, so that they speed up the ﬂow of human traffic at the border post, adding that delays and the slow movement of people had the potential to cause a volatile situation. Musina municipal manager Mr Johnson Matshivha said as a decongestion drive, they had offered their show grounds to be used by SA Home Affairs as a pre-clearance facility during the Easter holiday. Matshivha said it was important to extend the twinning arrangement that they have with Beit Bridge Rural District Council to the town council also. Musina Municipality signed a memorandum of understanding with Beit Bridge Rural District Council in 2004. Beit Bridge Town Council secretary, Dr Sipho Singo, also called on both Zimbabwean and South African health officials to scale up efforts in the fight against cholera through joint monitoring programmes.

He said it was critical to address the issue of water provision, solid waste management and sanitation to contain another massive cholera outbreak. “We need to collectively work together as stakeholders from Zimbabwe and South Africa in fighting cholera. As council, we managed to rope in the World Bank, which assisted us with funds to rehabilitate our sewer and water infrastructure under the emergency water and sanitation programme. This really helped in reducing the flow of sewerage, although it still remains a major challenge. We need to significantly improve our systems through complementing each other as stakeholders from the two countries,” he said. The district environmental officer for Beit Bridge, Mr Noti Dube, said they had since deployed health promotion teams to hot spots in the district where they were conducting anti-cholera awareness campaigns. During the meeting, stakeholders resolved to form an inter-border monitoring and evaluation committee on cholera. The committee would comprise representatives from the two countries’ port health departments, Beit Bridge Town Council, Musina Municipality, health promotions and environmental health officials, South Africa’s Department of Water Affairs in Limpopo and the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) and CPU. Singo and Matshivha were assigned to play an advisory role in the committee, whose terms of reference are yet to be formulated. Some of the areas in Beit Bridge identified as hot spots include Dulibadzimu bus terminus, the border post, where toilets are not working, and Hlalani Kuhle residential area, which has no sanitation facilities.

Dump site remains a high risk area for all

“The waste pickers shouldn’t be working under these conditions,” the AfriForum team from Pretoria said when they saw the reclaimers at the Vondeling waste-management site of Makhado (Louis Trichardt). They were not wearing adequate protective clothing and waded knee deep into the refuse.

Many people earn their living by picking waste. Scavengers and their associates can also become entrepreneurs as was seen at the Vondeling waste-management site where an entrepreneur put up the odd spaza shop.

“The waste pickers shouldn’t be working under these conditions,” an AfriForum team from Pretoria said when they saw the reclaimers at the Vondeling waste-management site of Makhado (Louis Trichardt). This municipal landfill site has been an on-going source of irritation and a health risk for residents who use it to dump their waste or who stay in the vicinity, battling to survive amid the ﬂies, the odour, unsightly litter, dust and smoke. For the reclaimers who work at the dumping site, the health and even safety risks are magnified. Women with children were spotted in the area before the control gate. In the area inside the control gate, reclaimers were sorting waste. They were not wearing adequate protective clothing and waded knee deep into the refuse. “We do reclaiming for a company,” one of the women said to Dr Ben van der Waal, executive member of the local AfriForum branch during the AfriForum inspection visit at the end of February. They sort the waste into bags to get them ready to be transported and sold to recycling companies. “Recycling must be done at the beginning and on a cleared area. An area must be cleared next to the fence inside the control gate or even before the control gate. The recycling has to be done before the waste is dumped on the site,” said Mr Julius Kleynhans, AfriForum’s head of environmental affairs. Kleynhans said that the new regulations for a waste management plan put much more emphasis on recycling. The recycling at the Vondeling dumping site is done amid the heaps of waste. An estimated 88 000 people nationwide earn their living by picking waste. Waste pickers and their associates can also become entrepreneurs as was seen at the Vondeling site where an entrepreneur had put up the odd spaza shop. The sight of children at the landfill site visibly upset Mr Tiaan Esterhuizen, AfriForum’s Limpopo

organiser. “Recycling must be done according to health regulations,” Esterhuizen said. Waste reclaimers are exposed to waste on a regular basis and therefore a greater health risk. The network organising reclaimers in the Tshwane municipal area states in its own regulations that they will, among others, “not drink and gamble at landfill sites” nor “bring children to landfill sites.” The safety risks that waste reclaimers are exposed to include being run over by heavy machinery since they are sometimes so covered in waste that they are not easily seen. Van der Waal saw a container of putrefied chicken meat lying around. The minimum requirements for landfill operations prescribe the immediate covering of putrescibles, according to the South African Waste Information Centre (Sawic). Other minimum requirements pertaining to all sizes of landfill sites include a waste-acceptance procedure, sufficient qualified staff, compaction of waste, daily cover of waste, two week’s cell of trench capacity, three days stockpile of cover, final cover, protection of unsafe excavations, draining water away from the waste, adequate plant and equipment, a formal reclaiming operation plan, protection of reclaimers and protective clothing.

Celebrating Earth Hour

Residents of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) also had the chance to support Earth Hour along with the rest of the world on 23 March. In true picnic style, many gathered at the Rondebosch Riding School to enjoy an electricity free hour under die clear night sky. Local organiser Mr Kos Coronaios of the Soutpansberg Astronomy Club thanked all who made the evening possible, including Ladies Circle 4, Round Table Zoutpansberg 66, the talented musicians from Timeline, Craig Leeson, Laurie Bannatyne (Talisman Hire), Sergio (OK Grocer), Mannie (Caterpack) and everybody who attended. “Thank you for getting behind this wonderful global initiative, and allowing our local community to take part in it,” Coronaios said.

Whole province to beneﬁt from outreach Limpopo Astronomy and the Soutpansberg Astronomy Club (SAC) will once again be focusing on public outreach during 2013. Astronomy-related outreach projects at schools and public locations have always been a priority for the SAC, based in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), and 2013 will be no different. A general public-outreach project, sponsored by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), through its Office of Astronomy

for Development (OAD), will see the organisation visit a number of venues in the province, as well as in the Kruger National Park. Appropriately, the province’s capital, Polokwane, will be first on the agenda with a visit to Mall of the North on Friday, 29 March, followed by Forever Resorts Bela-Bela on Saturday, 6 April. Some of the other towns to be visited are Musina, Thohoyandou, Makhado, Giyani, Elim, Tzaneen, Lephalale (Ellisras) and Modimolle (Nylstroom).

Astronomy-related posters and information on astronomy and where to study, as well as pamphlets, will be available. Views through the telescope of our closest star, the sun, can be enjoyed during the day, and after sunset the telescope will be pointed to the stars and planets. Contact Kos Coronaios at 079 148 4934 or via email at elephantcastle@ lantic.net for further information or if you would like to include your venue and participate in this outreach initiative.

Water tankers to be placed strategically The Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association submitted a letter to the municipal manager, dated 6 March, in which they proposed locations where water tankers would be needed most. “We at the Ratepayers Association know that the water shortages are not going to be resolved soon and we would like to appeal to the Makhado Municipality to provide water tankers in the following areas where people who, in many instances, don’t have any water, can go to and at least get water for daily use,” wrote Mr Phillip Olivier, SRPA manager. The SRPA suggested seven possible locations. The areas that the Makhado Municipality identified correspond with those that the SRPA proposed. The Makhado Municipality is to place water tankers at strategic places to alleviate the water The areas where strategic water tankers will be shortage in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). One location will be in the park between Rissik and placed are the open space opposite OK Grocer in Jeppe Street, opposite Shammah Ministries. the new extension, in the park between Rissik and Jeppe Street, opposite Shammah Ministries, in the park at 26 Louis Botha Street, in the open space in Eltivillas opposite Khoja’s, in the park in Mimosa Street opposite Loeriepark in the new extension, in the open space at the entrance of Makhado Park and in an appropriate place in Tshikota. In the past, water tankers moved around town, with the advantage that the tankers delivered water right at homes, provided that people managed to get hold of them. Having tankers that continually move throughout town has the disadvantage that community members do not always know where to find these tankers-on-the-move. Mr Lawrence Makatu, chairperson of the Makhado Concerned Group, said they had asked for a meeting with the municipal manager but could only meet with the director of planning and development. ”We told the municipality that if the municipal manager wanted to put up tanks, it was Two water tankers will be placed in Makhado his responsibility; he must do what he has to. But (Louis Trichardt) new town, in the open space we also told them that this is a town, not a village opposite OK Grocer and in the park in Mimosa where people run around with wheelbarrows,” Makatu said. A water tanker will be placed in the park in Louis Botha Street. Street, opposite Loeriepark The Makhado Municipality is to place water tankers at strategic places to alleviate the water shortage in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). “The process of procuring the water tankers is on and the community can expect to make use of them within three weeks,” municipal spokesperson Louis Bobodi said on 18 March. The municipal manager, Mr Sakkie Mutshinyali, made the important announcement that he would like to take responsibility to place water tankers at strategic places in town at a water crisis meeting in the show hall on 9 February. After the meeting, Mutshinyali told the Zoutpansberger that, although water was a function of the Vhembe District Municipality, he would secure funds for the water tankers. Replying to a question where the water tankers would be placed, the technical director, Mr Thivho Ralulimi, said that “that would depend on the needs of the community.”

Preparations for Morant film are in full swing The preparations for the filming of the two-part documentary in the Soutpansberg area on the Anglo-Boer War saga involving Breaker Morant and the Bushveldt Carbineers are in full swing. In addition to local historian and author Charles Leach, who is like a walking encyclopaedia on the Morant incidents in the Anglo-Boer War, Petria de Vaal-Marais from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) has also come on board. Petria, a qualified archivist, has skills and expertise in cultural history and research. She will assist the team of Sabido Productions to ensure that all props used in the filming of the scenes are true to the time period. Petria did her honours dissertation on Fort Hendrina, which is currently located in Erasmus Street. At this fort, filming of a BVC camp with calico tents and soldiers milling around will take place. In this scene, BVC Lt Peter Handcock, who was eventually court marshalled and executed with Morant for murders on prisoners of war and civilians, shot the ‘joiner’ Trooper van Buuren on suspicion of being a spy. Local props in the sense of Anglo-Boer War Petria de Vaal-Marais from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) has also come on board for the filming of articles are still required for the documentary, the Morant documentary.

The localities of most of the re-enactment scenes have been finalised. Vliegenpan, the farm of Gerrit and Sophia Hendriks, will provide the setting for at least four of the scenes. The re-enactment of the killing of six sickly Boers by the BVC as they were heading to a hospital in Valdezia in ox wagons will also be filmed at Vliegenpan. In another scene, the Van Staden father and two sons, the youngest sick with fever, are brutally murdered after being ordered to dig their own grave. This originally happened at Sweetwaters, currently the farm of Poog Henning. Eight surrendering Boers and Dutch teachers were murdered on the road between Elim and Fort Edward. All these scenes will be filmed at Vliegenpan, since the agriculture at the actual places had changed to macadamia orchards, pine plantations or overgrown veldt. The re-enactment of the BVC night attack on the Viljoen homestead in Duivelskloof will be filmed at a suitable homestead near Makhado (Louis Trichardt) since the original homestead was burnt down.

Municipal News

Officials looking for fresh delivery ideas The Musina Municipal council and its management team recently held a three-day strategic planning meeting in order to come up with fresh ideas and plans aimed at maintaining a high standard of service delivery. Mayor Carol Phiri says the exercise was fruitful as the deliberations will help to maintain the positive image of the municipality. “We met to define our strategy or direction, and making decisions on allocating our resources to pursue this strategy, including our capital and people. This was our opportunity to analyze our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, which include political, economic, social, and technological [factors]. During the meeting, we also evaluated how the resolutions of the previous financial year were implemented and we were satisfied that we did a very wonderful job during the previous financial year.” She says she is happy to note that the municipality has developed its strategic plan in a way that it is easily translatable into action plans. “We need to move away from the traditional way of addressing high-level initiatives and overarching goals which end up not being articulated into day-to-day projects and tasks that will be required to achieve our By Linda van der Westhuizen

plans. We are surely going to turn things around this time.” She says the strategic planning session has assisted the municipality in clearly defining the purpose of the municipality and to establish realistic goals and objectives consistent with the mission in a defined time frame within the institution’s capacity for implementation and how to communicate those goals and objectives to the municipality’s constituents. “This has also assisted us in developing a sense of ownership of the plan, to ensure the most effective use is made of the municipality’s resources by focusing the resources on the key priorities. The Mayor Carol Phiri and Chief Whip Simon Madamalala listen attentively to deliberations during session has also provided a base from which prog- the strategic planning meeting. ress can be measured and establish a mechanism for informed change when needed.” The occasion also served as a team-building Crime exercise for the councillors and employees of the municipality.

This is one of the main reasons why the SRPA members withhold their rates,” Gilfillan said. It was agreed that the municipality’s attorney would contact the attorney of the SRPA and set up a meeting, which has not occurred to date. The reasons why all SRPA members (currently 523) are paying their basic water, basic electricity, basic sewerage and taxes and levies on immovable property into a trust fund are stated on the dispute form that each member signs every month. “Contributing factors … are, inter alia, the poor state of the financial management and billing system, the dysfunctional sewerage system, water reticulation management and regular shortage of water and quality thereof, the condition of our Kontak George, Pieter roads, pavements and parks and the unabated conof Yolanda vandag tamination of the environment, underground water and boreholes, creating serious health hazards.” Other factors mentioned include the inability of the municipality to honour commitments made on om jou spasie vir die volgende meetings and in writing and self-enriching salary Triegieﬂitse te bespreek. increments by the municipality.

In the meantime, the dispute is still continuing and the handing over of the funds will only be put on the table if the SRPA members make a decision to that effect at a general meeting. The SRPA assures its members that their money is safe and that no difficulties are currently experienced when the accounts of members who sell their property, for instance, are paid up by the SRPA.

Successful weekend for Makhado SAPS

Use money on local project, asks SRPA “If we hand over the R5.5 million, what will it be used for?” is the question raised by the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA). At this stage, the SRPA has approximately R5.5 million in a trust fund that has accumulated since the declaration of their dispute with the Makhado Municipality regarding poor service delivery in August 2008. “Water supply is the most important project. Should the dispute be resolved and we hand over the funds at some stage, we would like to contribute towards a local water project that we do together with the municipality,” SRPA Chairperson Inga Gilfillan said on 14 March. “The ratepayers insist that the funds should be applied and spent in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) and not in the greater Makhado municipal area,” SRPA manager Phillip Olivier added. Makhado Municipal Manager Sakkie Mutshinyali said, however, that the money would go into the pool for the wider municipal area. “There is nothing in government indicating that money will be spent for specific projects in town. It will go to the whole municipality. Council will have to vote on the projects,” Mutshinyali told the Zoutpansberger. Mutshinyali apparently expected that the SRPA would hand over the R5.5 million at a meeting

ZOUTPANSBERGER

14 29 March 2013 By Elmon Tshikhudo

Women stoned to death Despite all the campaigns by Government and several concerned organizations to sensitize communities on violence against women and children, women and children are still at the receiving end in this country. Only a fortnight ago, there was an outcry in Vhembe when a nine-year-old girl, Mutshidzi Ramanyimi of Tshilungoma, was found dead after being missing for almost a week. On Monday, the community of LwamondoMathule outside Thohoyandou had a rude awakening when they were roused by screams for help by a dying woman. The community could not help her in time and she was allegedly killed by her lover, who is believed to be a mental care patient. Police and pathologists remove the bloodied body of the dead woman who was allegedly crushed Ms Jane Magadani (62) who once stayed with by her lover. the suspect but was staying alone in her house, had her head crushed. Her head was crushed by big stones, following what people in the neighbourhood believe was a domestic quarrel. Fearing that he had killed the woman, the man tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat. Residents said the man used to stay with the woman, but he had moved out some time ago. They said quarrels were a constant occurrence mostly towards the end of the month because of money. It is alleged that the couple had quarreled the previous day but the man left, only to come back the following day whereupon he is said to have killed the woman before cutting his own throat with a panga. The man, whom many thought had died, was taken to hospital in a critical condition. “ The police

let us down. They knew the man is a mental patient, and after we had reported that he was becoming violent, they should have taken him to hospital. They left him free and now he has killed the poor woman,” said a resident, who preferred anonymity. News of the gruesome incident came as a shock to the community. Within a short space of time, almost the whole community had gathered at the house of death. There was blood everywhere and the stones that were used to crush the woman’s head were still there. Even the bloodied knife was at the scene. Dean Alunamutwe Rannditsheni of the Devhula Lebowa Circuit and a human rights champion, who was also at the scene, said he had never seen such cruelty. “There is a demon lingering here. There are so many campaigns against violence on women and children, but still women face these horrendous acts at the hands of people who are supposed to protect them,” he added. The leader of Rhema Kingdom Life at Tshifulanani, Dr Tshifhiwa Muligwe, where the deceased congregated and the chairperson of the Munna ndi nnyi Men’s Forum, Mr Bardwell Mufunwaini, who were also there, expressed outrage at the incident. Vuwani police spokesperson W/O Elijah Malatjie said that they had received a report around 11:00 that a man had killed his wife at LwamondoMathule. “We arrested a man who is now recuperating at a local hospital,” he added. He added that the man would appear in court as soon as he was discharged form hospital. The age of the man could not be determined as he cannot speak.

It has been more than three years since the legal battle of senior regional magistrate Ronnie Rambau, who is currently facing charges of corruption, began. Despite his suspension, Rambau is still receiving his full salary and benefits. Rambau, together with his co-accused, attorney Tivoneleni Edmond Lubisi and ex-state prosecutor Estene Willemse, are facing corruption charges in the Musina Magistrate’s Court for allegedly trying to inﬂuence the outcome of court cases. Last year, the Zoutpansberger reported on a progress report that the magistrate’s commission (Rambau’s employer) had submitted to the justice committee of Parliament. The magistrate’s commission, according to law, has to report to the justice committee every three months on magistrates they have suspended. What became clear at this

meeting was that the justice committee was “extremely displeased” by the fact that magistrates charged with crimes are sometimes only suspended much later. In the very same meeting, Parliament suggested that Rambau’s salary be withheld, due to the fact that the matter has been dragging on for so long. Rambau was suspended in November 2010. A year later, in October 2011, the State closed its corruption case against him. Since then, the court has been waiting for Rambau and his co-accused to bring forth new evidence to prove their innocence. In January of this year, the magistrate’s commission submitted yet another mandatory progress report on Rambau to the justice committee. This report, of which the Zoutpansberger was able to obtain copies, does not differ much from October last year’s report. In fact, the report looks

almost identical. The minutes of the report were made available by the Parliamentary Monitoring Group. Asked for comment last year, the magistrate’s committee’s secretary, Mr Danie Schoeman, said that the withholding of Rambau’s salary was still under consideration by the magistrate’s commission but that no final decision had been taken. He also said that a new date for Rambau’s misconduct trial was being negotiated with his attorney. Schoeman’s answer did not differ much this week. Asked whether the magistrate’s commission had secured a date for the trial, Schoeman said that they were still negotiating a date with Rambau’s attorney. As was the case last year, however, it is not clear at this stage who Rambau’s attorney of record is since his previous advocate withdrew due to alleged non-payment for his services.

Daadwerklike aksie is nou nodig

eslis is dit so dat hoe daar ookal belowe word dat toestande in Suid-Afrika weldra ‘n reënboogkleurtjie sal begin vertoon, hoe dieper en dieper is ons besig om in totale duisternis ons te begewe. Het dit nie miskien tyd geword dat die normale Jan Publiek waaghalsig op agterpote begin staan en daadwerklik aksies en optredes beThe technical manager of Musina Municipality, Mr Jakkie du Toit, gin opeis en afdwing, om probleme turned 63 at the weekend. He is seen here cutting his birthday cake with te bekamp nie? Twee konstruksMayor Carol Phiri (right) and the deputy technical manager, Chuene iewerkers vanuit Zimbabwe deel my mee dat Makhado (Louis Trichardt) Dinyake. sekerlik die mees gehate plek in Zimbabwe is. Blykbaar terroriseer polisie en verkeersbeamptes met groot bedrae omkoopgelde, elke moontlike tipe vervoer wat deur Louis Trichardt reis. Geen wonder dat hengelgeselskappe vanaf Louis Trichardt na Kariba ook tot groot somme omkoopgelde in Zimbabwe gedwing word nie. Die skrikwekkendste van alles word oorheers deur ‘n ontploffing binne die polisiemagte tot

verregaande magsgebruik en wreedhede. Oorsake hiervoor is handliggend. Om polisie in diens te neem met vorige militêre opleiding net om ‘n “Comrade” ‘n klomp nikswerd range te gee, is absoluut fataal. Militariste, veral in ‘n Afrikakonteks, is mense wie opgelei word om kragtig en magtig deur die gebruik van onmenslike wreedhede, te dood, te martel en af te maai! Polisie behoort vanuit geselekteerde kandidate ‘n totaal ander tipe gedissiplineerde opleiding te ontvang. Soos toestande tans tussen die normale publiek en die polisiediens daar uitsien, het dit in ‘n slagveld, ‘n oorlogsvyandige situasie van haat ontaard! Indien die remme nie hard en styf daadwerklik vasgetrap word nie, ten einde die al vinniger voortsnellende ramp te keer nie, is die vernietigende dwinglandy onder die juk van ‘n polisiestaat ons voorland. - Gert van Zyl (Makhado / Louis Trichardt)

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe 2 Samuel 9 - Die genade van God.

ilippense 1:6 bevestig aan ons dat wanneer God iemand red, dit enduit bewaar word. Dit word ook bevestig in Rom. 8:2930. Ons God is genadig. Elke persoon op aarde verdien die hel as gevolg van ons sonde, maar God is ‘n God van liefde. In plaas van ons in die hel te werp, het die Here besluit om mense te red. Die loon van die sonde is die dood (Rom. 6:23), maar Jesus het die prys vir ons sondes betaal, daarom kan ons genade van God ontvang. (Rom. 6:23b). Eendag sal al God se kinders verheerlikte liggame ontvang, soos die een wat Jesus na Sy opstanding gehad het, om God en Sy nuwe skepping te geniet. God seën ons grootliks want Christus het die werk van ons verlossing en saligheid aan die kruis volbring. Dawid was bedroef oor sy vriend Jonatan se dood en vra: “Het daar nie miskien iemand uit Saul se familie oorgebly nie? Ek sal hom graag onder my sorg wil neem ter wille van Jonatan.” (Vers 1). Daar word aan Dawid vertel daar is ‘n kreupel seun van Jonatan met die naam Mefiboset. Dawid het Jonatan lief gehad en ter wille van hom sien Dawid om na Mefiboset. Dit is ook die geval met God en Sy kinders. Ter wille van Jesus, God se geliefde Seun, ontvang ons seën wat ons nie verdien nie. Ons kan die seën van God nie verdien nie. Mag jy, liewe leser, een van hulle wees vir wie God lief is vir Sy Seun se onthalwe. - 079 5168303

Gearing up for annual Kremetart Race The first management meeting with regard to the highly popular annual PPC Kremetart Cycle Race was held on 12 March. The focus of the meeting was to discuss changes and make improvements to this annual race with Makhado (Louis Trichardt) as base town and the P&L Cycling Club as hosts. By last week, more than 200

entries had already been received by the organisers and the accommodation venues in and around the town are filling up very quickly. For more information in this regard, visit the P&L Cycling Club’s new website at www. kremetartcycling.co.za The race’s management team will meet every second week from now on to prepare for the

races on 8 and 9 June. A note to citizens is that this is a community-based project and the aim is to get everyone in town and the surrounding areas involved. “Our aim is to generate more than R20 million for the businesses in our area,” says the club. Persons wishing to get involved with the annual Kremetart can phone Renda at Tel 082 932 3590.

Dendron se span draf Letaba se derdes kaf met ´n eindtelling van 83-0. Rugbynuus

Dendron gee Letaba pak (Vervolg vanaf p. 18) Die besoekers het in die eerste 10 minute van spel twee drieë gaan druk en verdoel. Die tuisspan het vinnig hierop geantwoord en dieselfde gedoen. Net voor halftyd het Letaba nog punte aangeteken en die

telling met halftyd was 14-21. In die tweede helfte moes Louis Trichardt se tweedes die aftog blaas en wen Letaba 14-28, nadat hulle nog ‘n drie aanteken. Louis Trichardt se eerstespan het nie teleurgestel in hul wedstryd teen Letaba se eerstespan

nie. Hulle reken 12-7 af met die besoekers. Louis Trichardt en Dendron se spanne sal die volgende twee naweke rus, waarna hulle teen Noordelikes van Polokwane te staan sal kom.

´n Letaba speler maak reg om ´n speler van Dendron plat te trek. Die Roadhogs motorfietsklub van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het op Saterdag, 23 Maart, ‘n “Easter Run” na Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis gehou. As deel van hul besoek is inwoners van dié tehuis met ‘n pakkie lekkergoed verras. Afgeneem is van die Roadhogs met die geskenkpakkies. Kompetisie

Goliat van Gat nou ook ‘n musiekfees Die jaarlikse Goliat van Gat Pampoenkompetisie word hierdie jaar gekombineer met ’n musiekfees en daarom word dié fees hierdie jaar genoem TLU se Goliat van Feeste. Die fees vind vanjaar plaas by die Voortrekkermonument op 30 Maart. Die Pampoenkompetisie vind die oggend van vroeg af plaas. Dan word die grootste pampoen, die mooiste pampoen en die lelikste pampoen aange wys. Verlede jaar se grootste pampoen het ‘n stewige 367kg geweeg en daar word gehoop dat hierdie jaar selfs ‘n groter een kan oplewer! Verskeie kunstenaars

sal ook van vroeg af in aksie wees. Opkomende kunstenaars gaan veral die geleentheid gegee word om hulleself bekend te stel, en onder hulle tel Theo Nel, Garry, Savannah, Lizzy, Flippie M, Charlene, Elizabeth, Arise en Ridder de Jongh. Anton Botha gaan ook optree, sowel as Sunette Bridges, en die hoogtepunt sal die optrede van Steve Hoffmeyr vroegmiddag wees. Daar is ook ’n oorvloed van kosstalletjies en ander uitstallings en nog enkele plekke is beskikbaar vir die klein ondernemer of instansie wat homself aan die publiek van duisende wil bekendstel. Laat-

middag word ’n verskeidenheid van kompetisies beplan, soos ‘n potjiekoskompetisie, spitbraaikompetisie, worsbraaikompetisie, snoekbraaikompetisie en pampoenkoekiekompetisie. Die aand word afgesluit met ’n egte plaas-atmosfeer opskop. Daar gaan ’n heerlike buffet-ete wees. Toegang by die Monument sal slegs R30 per voertuig beloop en kaartjies vir die ete en dans die aand beloop R295 per paar. Enige verdere navrae oor stalletjies en inskrywings vir die kompetisies kan nog gerig word aan Renette by TLU SA by (012) 804-8031.

E. & O.E.

Goeie wen vir Dendron Die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub se Dendronspan het Saterdag Letaba se derdespan ‘n behoorlike loesing gegee deur hulle 83-0 te klop. Die Dendron-span het saam met Louis Trichardt se eerste- en tweede-spanne tuisveld voordeel geniet in hul tweede wedstryd van die jaar se Presidentsliga. Letaba se derdes het geen antwoord gehad vir die Dendron-span wat sommer met die afskop die drieë ingeryg het nie. Teen halftyd het Dendron reeds 45-0 voorgeloop. Hierna het Louis Trichardt se tweedespan teen hul eweknieë van Letaba te staan gekom. (Vervolg op p. 17)

Erik Welman, 18-jarige muurbalspeler van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, het die afgelope naweek die provinsie gaan verteenwoordig tydens die Suid-Afrikaanse Geslote Skole-muurbaltoernooi in Parkview. Elke provinsie het hul beste vier spelers na die toernooi gestuur. Kompetisie was straf, maar Erik slaag daarin om drie van sy vyf wedstryde te wen en is nasionaal tans 21ste gekeur in die O/19-afdeling.
