R5,7 million to protect Toni

By Anton van Zyl The Department of Co-operative Government, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) remained tight-lipped the past week about a R5,7 million security contract awarded to protect Toni Mphephu Ramabulana. The former acting king of the Vhavenda is to have 24-hour protection by armed guards at his two homes.

Last month, the Constitutional Court ordered that Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana be stripped of all privileges while the case to determine who should be the king or queen of the Vhavenda finds its way through the courts. In April 2019, the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruled that Toni’s appointment as king by former President Jacob Zuma was unlawful and set it aside. The SCA, however, allowed him to continue serving in the position while the matter served before the High Court again. This was set aside by the Constitutional Court, which reckoned that he should not be entitled to such privileges.

In February this year, Coghsta put out a tender for the provision of security services for a period of three years. The

tender documentation specified that this would be at the official residences of “King Mphephu” at his house in Louis Trichardt, as well as at the official palace in Dzanani.

The tender was awarded on 30 July to “Vhunene Security Services” for an amount of R 5 718 515,47. It specifies that eight security guards must be used for the protection, working in two shifts.

During each of the shifts, two armed security guards must be on duty.

A search on the database of the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) shows that no company is registered under the name of Vhunene Security Services. A search on the website of the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) also shows no such company. However, a company called Vhunene Construction and Projects has a certificate and operates under the trade name of Vhunene Security Services. PRiSA’s website indicates that the company’s certificate had expired on 22 November this year.

CIPC records indicate that Vhunene Construction and Projects was started in 2015 and is located in Tshikota, a residential area adjacent to Louis Trichardt. The only director is 30-year-

old Hanyani Mthombeni. He is also a director of another company, Hanyathi Plant Hire.

Hanyani made the news headlines in April last year when he was arrested for contravening the lockdown regulations. At the time, he was distributing food parcels in Tshikota. The process of distributing the parcels was disrupted when more than 500 people arrived and became rowdy. The police and soldiers had to be called in to disperse the angry crowd.

Hanyani was arrested, along with another of the event’s organisers, Mr Gerson Siphuma (46). Newspaper reports at the time quote residents as being unhappy with the political game-playing where food parcels were being used for political gain. Some of the ANC members at the Tshikota branch who wanted to remain anonymous said that the food parcels formed part of a campaign for the upcoming ANC Vhembe regional conference. They alleged that the food parcels had been donated to buy votes for Adv Makonde Mathivha, who was battling against Vhembe District Municipality Mayor Dowelani Nenguda for the position of chairperson of the region.

According to the deceased’s sister, Maria Radzuma, Livhuwani and a friend went to a tavern in Migeroni on Friday (19th). At some point his friend left the tavern and when he came back, a group of unknown men were beating Livhuwani.

The friend tried to help him but was beaten with a bottle, so he ran away. “That was the last time Livhuwani was seen.”

This was done, but he still did not respond. He also ignored several requests to at least confirm receipt of the questions.

The same questions were sent to the people listed as contact persons in the tender documents. None of them responded.

On Tuesday, questions were sent to the spokesperson of the MEC for Coghsta, Mr Hitekani Magwedzi. He promised to attend to the matter, but at the time of our going to press, he had not responded.

On Wednesday, the communications manager for Coghsta, Ms Tsakani Baloyi, sent through a short response that made little sense. “Please note that issues of Kingship and subsequently the court judgements are within the jurisHanyani Mthombeni, director of diction of National Vhunene Construction and Projects.

Traditional Affairs. If you still want to pursue your question, kindly delink the court judgements from your other questions,” she said.

The questions posed to Coghsta asked, among others, who was now to be protected, in light of the Constitutional Court’s ruling. We also asked who had requested the protection and whether eight armed security guards were judged to be necessary. Coghsta was also asked about the processes followed when awarding the tender and whether publishing the trade names of winning bidders, instead of the proper names of the companies, in the provincial gazette was standard practice.

Mr Johann Hammann, lawyer of Masindi Mphephu, responded earlier this week and said that they had already written to the President, the State Attorney, the MEC and Coghsta to inform them that the allowances and other privileges that Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana seemingly still enjoyed must be stopped.

Masindi Mphephu is one of the main contenders for the title of queen of the Vhavenda.

Vhembe’s first sitting disrupted while infighting in ANC continues

By Silas Nduvheni

jane Attorneys, also started to circulate.

In the draft application, the complaint is made that the three candidates elected by the regional structures, namely Mihloti Muhlophe, Mbedzi Thinawanga and Nkondo Fridah, were not being sworn in. The group argued that this was irregular and would be contested.

The ANC’s spokesperson in Limpopo, Mr Donald Selamolela, confirmed that they had been served with court papers indicating that a process was underway to stop the inauguration.

“We are disappointed by the way some ANC members in the Vhembe region have behaved to disrupt the first sitting of the district meant to elect

councillors who must deliver services to the people. We have instruction from the National Executive Council (NEC) that Nenguda, who was an executive mayor in the Vhembe District, has to serve in his position for a period of a month, while the NEC will be investigating the Vhembe matters. We are surprised to see that some members have disrupted the sitting,” said Selamolela.

The application served before the court on Tuesday but was struck off the roll as not an urgent matter.

At the time of our going to press, the date for the council meeting had still not been set. It may take place on Thursday (2 December) or Friday (3 December).

The inaugural meeting of the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) turned chaotic last Thursday (25th), causing the presiding officer, Ms Sylvia Ndou, to dissolve the meeting until further notice.

A Limpopo High Court judge, Judge Legodi Phatudi, was still in the process of swearing in councillors when one of the councillors, Rudzani Ludere, raised a point of order. The judge had to leave when a war of words erupted between two factions of the African National Congress (ANC).

Judging by what happened, the war between the two factions within the ANC is clearly far from over. Ludere, who is believed to be in the camp of Advocate Makonde Mathivha, was exchanging verbal blows with members of the camp led by Cllr Dowelani Nenguda, the former executive mayor of the VDM. Ludere stood up and raised the point that they needed the meeting to be adjourned for an unstipulated amount of time. This proposal led to objections from people sitting in the gallery, as well as opposition party members, such as the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the PAC, who wanted the meeting to continue.

A rumour also surfaced during the adjournment of the meeting that it would have to be postponed because an application for an interdict had been filed in the High Court. Copies Cllr Dowelani Nenguda (left), Mihloti Muhlophe (middle), Rose Mathukha and of a draft request for an interdict, Vhamusanda Lucas Makumbane (right) were sworn in during the disrupted compiled by Prince Katedi Mokgoat- VDM council meeting last Thursday.

the privatisation option turned out to have made a sub-optimal choice,” said Judge Manoim.

Another problem that was quickly spotted, was that the formulas and dates used to calculate the accrued benefits were not consistent. This became the subject of the first dispute that ended up in court.

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) eventually decided in 2000 in favour of the “Dali group” and ruled that these pensioners were entitled to 100% of their accrued benefits.

The Dali group also asked that they be compensated for

the losses suffered during the transition period. This concerns the “losses” they suffered for joining a private fund. The SCA, however, did not agree with this and said they had to live with the choices they had made.

Another group representing concerned pensioners, the Dabalorivhuwa Patriotic Front, also took the matter to the court. Not having much success, this group asked the then Public Protector (PP), Selby Baqwa, to intervene. He filed a report in April 2002 wherein he recommended, among other things, that the relief offered in the Dali case be extended to all others in similar circumstances. As far as the others were concerned, he seemed to agree that they had made a choice and had to live with it.

In November 2008, another complaint was filed with the Public Protector. The three complainants argued that they had been influenced to accept the privatisation scheme by the then Venda government. The process, they argued, was not conducted properly and, as a result, was defective.

Baqwa’s successor Adv Thuli Madonsela’s team took three years to investigate and make a finding. She noted that the recommendations of the Baqwa report had not been implemented. Her own recommendations included that a task team be appointed to review the matter and consider changes, also in legislation, to assist the affected people. The PP “asks the Ministers to look at a

Not only do the memories of the complainants fade, but as in this case, data becomes irretrievable or no longer exists,” said Judge Manoim. He felt that neither Madonsela nor Mkhwebane had attempted to show special circumstances as to why the reports had been filed out of date.

The PP argued that the Minister (of Finance) had put was compiled, and options together a team and started were investigated. Right from with the process to look at how the start, the time lapse clearly the pensioners could be paid caused immense problems. out.

“We’re ready for the festive season”

By Bernard Chiguvare The time of the year when high volumes of people prepare to return to their home countries through the Beitbridge Border Post has come around again. Traffic is known to stretch for kilometres from the border to Musina over the December holidays, while crime escalates considerably.

Limpopo Transport and Community Safety MEC Mavhungu Lerule Ramakhanya, however, says that they are prepared for these challenges.

“There is no resource that has ever been enough to deal with crime. Whatever resources are at our disposal we will use to fight whatever crime, particularly at the borders,” she said at a high-level meeting held

on Friday, 26 November, at Musina Municipality.

According to a report issued by the department, Limpopo Police Commissioner Lt Gen Thembi Hadebe, as well as members of the security cluster, and border management teams already have operational plans in place to improve and eradicate some of the challenges faced during the festive period.

To monitor compliance and assist in the reduction of long queues at the border, the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency, the South African National Road Agency Limited (SANRAL) and Road Management Traffic Corporation (RMTC) will have a strong presence. Special attention will be given to trucks to improve the turn-around time

and hours spent on the road.

Musina Mayor Nkhanedzeni Godfrey Mawela applauded these plans as he felt they would bring sanity to Musina during the festive period. “We are highly confident that the town will be one of the safest places for shopping,” said Mawela.

According to a report by BusinessTech, published on 24 November, South Africa will launch a border management authority (BMA), a stateowned entity, in 2022. The role of the BMA will be to act as a single entity that manages the movement of people and goods across the country’s borders. It will also act as a type of law-enforcement agency, as it aims to clamp down on fraud, corruption, and other illegal activities.

Musina Mayor Nkhanedzeni Godfrey Mawela (right) and local ward councillor David Mokobi at the blocked storm-water channel in Matswale. Mawela has promised to make sure the problem gets solved as soon as possible.

Help us get rid of this terrible stench, plead Matswale residents Musina News

“We have been complaining about this problem for the past ten years, to no avail.

Now that the newly elected mayor is personally here to see for himself, we are hopeful that there will be a permanent solution to it.” These were the words of Ntuweleni Madamalala, a concerned community member from Matswale in Musina’s Ward 2, during Musina Mayor Nkhanedzeni Godfrey Mawela’s visit to the area.

The area suffers a serious problem with frequent sewage spillages from overflowing manholes that flow into the municipal storm-water-drainage channel.

200 x 263 The combination

of this spillage and rubbish that is being littered into the storm-water channel slows the flow down, resulting in blockages and huge pools of water mixed with sewage. Residents fear that this not only puts everyone’s health at risk, but also the environment at large.

Madamalala pleaded with their new leader to do something about this problem. “It is a very serious health risk to us because it is a breeding site for mosquitos and a source for water-borne diseases. The bad smell is horrible and makes our lives very miserable. We humbly request you to come to our rescue to alleviate this health risk.”

The newly elected local ward councillor, David Mokobi, said

that the area had been added to his priority list. He took up his position as political leader last week. “I engaged the mayor, and he made the time to come and see for himself what the local people are crying about.”

Mayor Mawela said that, as a leader, he did not want to depend on written reports sent to his office; he wants to personally go out and look at the actual situation. “Indeed, the situation is very bad because there are people who live around here.

When our council took over last week, we committed to doing everything possible to bring a better life for all. I am going to engage all relevant stakeholders, so that we can quickly get a solution to this problem,” he promised.

Praise for new mayor of Musina

By Bernard Chiguvare On Thursday, 25 November, 11 members of the Phiri family who share a house in Mutswale Extension 14, woke up in the early morning hours to the sound of a terrible crash. A motorist had lost control of his vehicle and driven straight into one corner of their house.

“We are sure the driver was speeding,” Lebogang Phiri said.

“Upon inspection, he (the driver) agreed to help us renovate the damaged part of the house.

We already have a bricklayer who is ready to renovate the

house.”

For the time being, they have erected a shack on the premises in which five of them sleep, while their six children are being accommodated by nearby relatives. “We are afraid to sleep in the house. It might collapse at any time, so we want to be safe,” said Lebogang.

After learning about the family’s misfortune, the newly sworn-in mayor of Musina, Nkhanedzeni Godfrey Mawela, visited the Phiri family and pledged to erect a temporary shelter for them while their house is being fixed. He also offered food parcels, which the

municipality delivered to the family only hours later.

When Musina residents heard about the new mayor’s generosity to the Phiri family, messages of high praise poured in. “Well done, Mr Mayor!

DID YOU

These were some of the questions Chief Nkhumbuleni Ratshitanga of Ngulumbi village had in mind on Friday, 19 November, when he graduated with a PhD in Business Information Systems at the University of Venda (Univen).

Chief Ratshitanga is also head of information technology at Univen. The university

honoured more than 600 graduates during the physical graduation ceremony.

Chief Ratshitanga’s love of education dates back to 1920, when his grandparents built a school with their own money.

“I am from a royal family. My grandparents built a school from their own pockets. My parents always talked about education wherever they were, and this gave me the zeal and strength to wake up and study.

I believe in education because I have noticed how education changes situations in people’s lives,” said Chief Ratshitanga.

To him, education is not

only for self-esteem, but it must be of benefit to the entire community one comes from.

“In my area, I move from one school to the other, encouraging not only learners but also educators to study,” he said.

Perseverance, according to Chief Ratshitanga, pays. “I always encourage my community not to stop studying because once one stops studying it means one is not going to reap the benefits you intended getting.

To him, acquiring a PhD gives him a better platform to contribute meaningfully to his community.

Jininka makes a comeback with her latest album, Ni do Farwa

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho Jeanette Nkanyane, known to many as Jininka, officially released her sixth album, titled Ni Do Farwa, at Sawuboma Music Jam in Soweto on 27 November.

Fellow musicians travelled all the way from Vhembe and around Gauteng in support of Jininka’s latest project launch. The event was graced by live performances, with a full-complement reggae band and supported by several artists who did a fine job of entertaining the fans.

The eight-track reggae album, containing hits such as Ni Do Farwa, Mulitsheni and Ndi A Ni Funa, was released under the OneStep Music label, produced by Mr Mukosi Netshiheni, recorded at Masana Studios in Soweto and mixed and mastered by DJ Davic.

“The album carries messages of love and encouragement, and speaks out about social ills. Each song is a masterpiece with an unambiguous message,” said Jininka.

The album features the likes of Humbulani Ramagwedzha, Romeo ThaGreatWhite and Rea’Nay Toofab.

“The title track, Ni do Farwa, is a reggae song that warns against gender-based violence, which continues to

cripple our social moral fibre every day,” she said. “Most of the songs are linked to each other. Munna wa u todelwa relays a message from a woman who declines a forced and arranged marriage. Arranged marriages often result in abuse because, besides the fact that they did not agree to the union, the couple do not know each other, which makes it hard to connect.”

As a young girl, Jininka listened to the soulful sounds of Dr Irene Mawela on cassettes with great

adoration and never imagined that this legendary Afro-soul singer would one day feature on one of her (Jininka’s) own projects.

Jininka, who is from Ravele village, is very passionate about music. “I started singing in The Holy Servants Choir at Ravele village, and at five I was the youngest member,” she recalled with a smile.

In 2011, she scooped up a SATMA award for Best Venda Album with her fourth album, Ndi Muvenda. “In Ndi Muvenda I reclaimed my position Muvenda, in society as a disciplined woman who respects her culture, a mother and not only a member of a community, but a member of society as a whole,” she said.

Her first album, titled Love Life (with the hit track Ni tshi tamba tamba) was released in the early 2000s and received acclaim from many parts of the country because of its infusion of reggae, Afro-jazz and Afro-soul. Her music is laden with rich lyrics of reproach, encouragement and motivation for those who listen to it.

“My festive wish to all the fans and people of South Africa is that we continue to look after ourselves, protect and guard against Covid-19, be safe on the roads and have fun responsibly throughout the festive holidays, until we meet again in 2022. Enjoy the music, spread the message of love and fight against gender-based violence.

I love you all.”

Local author wins poetry-reading competition

By Bernard Chiguvare During the National Book Month celebration held at the Thohoyandou library last week, local author Phophi Ndou won first prize in the poetry-reading competition.

“I was at the library and noticed there was a poetry reading competition going on, so I decided to take it on.

Competitors were given a few minutes to prepare themselves beforehand. I just gathered up my confidence and battled it out with the other two competitors,” said Ndou, who is from Mauluma village, Zone 4.

The event was hosted by the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture under the theme Reading for Healing and Transformation.

This is not the first time Ndou has shown her skills. In September, she released a book called Murafho wo vhilinganaho (messed-up generation), which took her only three months to write.

Ndou’s passion for educational competitions started way back when she was still in her primary and secondary school years and wrote her own speeches for debate competitions.

“I feel very blessed [in] winning this competition. There was very little time to prepare but I made it. It gave my self-confidence a good boost,” she said.

Phophi Ndou shows the According to Mpho Jerry Pooe, the trophy she won during project manager of the event, the the poetry-reading celebration focused on working with competition held at the youth to improve their level of Thohoyandou library to literacy, raise critical consciousness celebrate National Book and encourage critical thinking.

those closest to his heart. “I feel that the fact that men work hard to earn their bread is something that needs to be recognised and celebrated,” he said.

Backspace, a resident at Tshaulu Ha-Begwa village, explains that I love you is about a man who declares his deep love and appreciation to the woman he loves. “It’s a reminder to all to appreciate one another, create special moments and memories, and make the most of the time we have with our loved ones,” he said.

At the beginning of the outbreak of Covid-19, when the world still tried to come to terms with this fearsome pandemic, Backspace posted many freestyles on his YouTube channel, which afforded him great popularity.

He holds the belief that people should embrace a positive attitude towards life at all times.

“Throughout our whole life journey here on earth, we learn many

lessons that help shape us into the social beings that we ultimately become,” he said. “All we need to do is teach the next generation these same lessons, so that they do not have to learn the hard way.”

This artist runs his own studio as rapper, vocalist, dancer, and songwriter. “I live for music and express my feelings through my songs,” he said. “This is the only way I can communicate with the world, and it keeps me free from the pains of life.

“I am a responsible social being who believes in nation building.

It is very sad to hear about all the murder, rape and drug abuse among young people,” he said.

“Let’s rather wage a war against crime and poverty and make the world a better place.”

“Women and children should speak out against gender-based violence” “Men who still continue to abuse women and children must stop this behaviour,” warned Phalaphala FM’s programme manager, Ms Sharon Ravele.

Ravele said that the radio station fully supported the various non-profit organisations, community structures, ordinary citizens and government departments in their combat against this epidemic.

“It is everyone’s duty to create a society that is free of violence against women and children,” she said. “We hear and read about cases of violence and abuse every day, but we continue to pretend that it is not real, simply because it has not affected us personally. You do not have to be in a violent relationship to know that it happens around us every day.”

According to Ravele, South Africa needs men who are responsible and courageous enough to stand together and reject these acts of violence. “We want women and children to speak out about gender-based violence, so that men who still abuse them face the law. We also encourage victims of any form of abuse to report it to the police,” said Ravele.

“We understand that some women do not report cases of abuse because the perpetrators are breadwinners in the families. The victims are afraid of not having anyone to take care of the family if these men are arrested and charged, but there are many organisations that offer support to such families,” she said. “Over the years, we have had to contend with the fact that incidents of abuse continue to occur, despite the existence of a progressive constitutional and legislative framework that protects women while promoting a human-rights culture.”

Ravele says that the radio, the government, churches, religious and traditional leaders and organisations could make a difference by instilling change in people’s perceptions about abuse. “We send out this message to everyone, that women and children are worthy human beings who deserve to be valued and respected as equal members of society.”

Raymond masters the art of Reggae

Raymond Mukwevho has mastered the art of Reggae in his own right.

Raymond Mukwevho (31), the grandson of the godfather of Tshivenda music, Vho-Ntsieni Christopher Mukwevho, has mastered the art of Reggae in his own right.

His grandfather was the founder and lead vocalist for the Thrilling Artist band, so Raymond’s musical genesis started early on at his parental home in Tshitomboni tsha ha-Mmbubana.

“Music runs in my family,” he said. “I grew up to

be very close to my grandparents and I felt like their son. My grandad used to come over to our house studio almost every day to play the piano, and I would sit with him because I enjoyed seeing him play. He would ask me to play a shaker to keep the beat while he sang. I would also join him as backing vocalist, so I guess that is where my music interest started.

His mother, Muthuhadini Nita Mukwevho, was also a backing vocalist for The Comforters’ Month End Lover album, led by Colbert Mukwevho. “So, music also runs in my genes,” he said.

At the age of 12, Raymond was already playing the keyboard at church and graduated to the bass guitar when he was 14. He became an excellent bass guitarist under the tutelage of his uncle, Humbulani Mukwevho.

“Between the ages of 14 and 16, I played the keyboard at graduation ceremonies for my grandparents’ crèche with Christopher Mukwevho on backing vocals,” he said. “During this period, my

grandfather also joined us with the indigenous African musical instrument called the mbila.”

After Raymond completed his matric, he went to study music at Sound of Sounds in Johannesburg, where he majored in sound engineering. “I later went on to study for my Bachelor of Science degree in computer science and graduated in 2017,” he said. “While I was busy with my studies, I also worked on my music and to enhance my skills, making music from my bedroom studio.” He currently works full time as an IT specialist.

His debut album, Zwikhouni balela, was released in October 2019, and in October this year, he released his second album, titled Vhutshivha. The album comprises 11 songs, including Vhutshivha, Katarayanga, Aritshaidzhena, My intention, and Ndinae, and is available online for streaming and purchasing.

“This is the case with Maria Tshabalala, who shares an ID number with another person.

Not with one of her own children, though, as alleged. None of her children have duplicate (shared) IDs,” Hlabane said.

DHA advised Tshabalala to visit her nearest Home Affairs office, where she will be assisted to complete the applicable forms to fix the problem. “She will have to submit supporting documents, such as copies of the ID, as well as copies of her parents’ IDs. The officials will then guide her through the process to ensure a speedy resolution,” Hlabane said.

The question remains why Tshabalala was not properly informed about all the specific documents required from the start, instead of being sent back and forth every time. “No-one once mentioned the copies of my parent’s IDs, or the forms that have to be completed. Every trip costs me money, which I now don’t have because I can’t access my meagre income without an ID,” she said.

“Indeed, good things come to those who wait,” he believes.

“When I moved to this place 35 years ago, it was very bushy and far away from other settlements in this village. I built my homestead, and it was the only one here in the bush for over 15 years. I had to cut down trees and fill up huge dongas to make way for my car, so that I can drive to my homestead. I used to fetch water at the local Mudaswali River because there were no taps, and I had to drive

long distances to buy necessities like bread and maize meal.”

A retired school principal, who had been in the teaching profession for 40 years, Phaduli says he would use his leadership skills to turn the village into a pleasant, peaceful and developed place to live. “I am happy that I’m recognized here today for my pioneering spirit.

Through my cooperation with our senior traditional leader and various stakeholders, Mutulagole now has many households, electricity, roads and water taps. I thank our local traditional leader for having trust in me, and I commit to always availing myself for anything that needs to be done to improve the lives of our people.”

Musanda Vho-Mutulagole Nyamande said that Phaduli deserved this great honour bestowed on him as he was a rare breed of community builder. “This area was a dense

bush when he first came to live here in 1986, after he was given permission by my late father, Mutahabvu Vho-Ndidivhani George Nyamande. Phaduli approached many people to come and live here and today we have about 200 households.

Realising that the place is expanding and that we need a leader, no one ever objected when we decided to bestow this great honour on him. We need to recognize hard workers while they are still alive, rather than to talk about them when they have passed on. There is no doubt that when the history of Matangari is written, David’s name will appear in a special chapter. We have trust in him, as he had already proved that he can lead without expecting anything in return.”

During the installation ceremony, Sosana Mbedzi was introduced as khadzi and William Pandelani Phaduli as ndumi.

Ms Vanessa van Wyk, representative of the families of the two SAMWU members murdered in 2019, Ronald Mani (50) and the union’s former acting national president, Mr Timpson Musetsho (50), said she was confident that more suspects would be brought to book after the police had conducted their investigation on cellphone records obtained, which should show who had communicated with whom.

Percy Radzuma, his two brothers, Simon and Ndivhuwo, and Thabo Sibanze stand accused of murdering Mani and Musetsho, who had apparently been too vocal and critical of the Vhembe District Municipality’s decision to invest R300 million with the now-defunct VBS Mutual Bank.

“We hope that the cellphone records will help the police with their investigations and be able to link the suspects with the killings of the two union members. We are

hopeful that, once these investigations are done, the trial can start and be dealt with in court,” van Wyk said on Monday, 29 November, outside the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court. This after the case was postponed again, to 28 February 2022, for further police investigation. The suspects will remain in custody until then.

Percy Radzuma’s legal representative, Advocate Thihangwi Nelufule, unexpectedly announced that he would no longer represent Radzuma since the accused had decided to hire another representative, Advocate Ratshilumela Makhera.

Dean Tshenuwani Simon Farisani of the Mass Democratic Movement (MDM) also addressed the crowd gathered outside the court buildings. He said that progress was finally being made regarding the case and they were confident that, as soon as the trial started, the killers would reveal who had hired them to kill the union members.

Rondy Bosch Lodge officially opens its doors Advertorial by Kaizer Nengovhela The South African ambassador to Zimbabwe, Ms Rejoice Mabudafhasi, officially opened Rondy Bosch Lodge on Saturday.

The lodge is situated 8.5km from Louis Trichardt on the N1 South to Polokwane.

The lodge will be managed by its CEO, Mr Patrick Madavhu, who is a well-known and dynamic businessman. Altogether 40 jobs were created for locals during the construction phase of the lodge and once it becomes fully operational, 25 people will be employed on a permanent basis.

The lodge boasts 19 newly built chalets, which can accommodate up to 40 people sharing and has a state-of-the-art kitchen and a facility for dignitaries. Attractions in the area include a beautiful swimming pool, lapa, braai

areas, comfortable rooms at affordable prices, as well as a conference hall.

Madavhu heartily invites clients for group functions, farewell functions, baby showers, weddings, meetings and year-end functions to make use of the facility. “We can also assure our clients with confidence that we provide the best security at lodge, so it is the safest place to be at. No client will regret ever visiting Rondy Bosch Lodge.”

Madavhu said that to realise this dream, they had lost many things but also gained more from it along the way. “This is just the beginning of a long journey,” he said, adding that the project played a vital role in the fight against unemployment in the rural part of Vhembe, and the whole of Limpopo at large. “We look forward to providing our clients with amiable, quality services,” he concluded.

Mabudafhasi said she was proud of this new and exciting hospitality stable. “The product will contribute immensely towards growth potential for domestic tourism in the area in particular, but also for the province in general. Now that you have this facility, it is your duty and responsibility to take care of it. I hope it will continue to create jobs and be an economic relief to the people of Vhembe.”

One of the community members, Mr Musandiwa “Wiser” Ralutanda, said he liked the fact that the resort was so safe. “I think this will be a good thing for our community. It is also very beautiful. We can come here during the holidays when it gets hot and just have fun with our families. And it is close by, so we don’t have to travel long distances anymore, for

which we are very grateful. We as a community will do our best to take care of the resort,” said Ralutanda.

The foundation also donated 50 water wheelbarrows, which can carry 100 litres of water, to the elderly people of the village.

Ms Cecilia Mudau, one of the women set to benefit from the water-relief programme, was over the moon. She said that they had had sleepless nights worrying about water since the old and dilapidated Dzwerani Reservoir’s pipes had reportedly burst.

“May God bless the Mashawana Foundation. Water is a source of life. Without water we cannot wash our clothes and bodies or cook food for the family,” said Mudau.

The traditional leader of Mashawana village, Vhamusanda Nndavheleseni Mashawana, said he was thankful to the foundation for remembering their need for clean water.

Victory for Ablex against Giyani Boys

By Kaizer Nengovhela The ABC Motsepe League match between Ablex United and Giyani Happy Boys, which was played at the Louis Trichardt Show Grounds on Saturday, ended in a 1-0 victory for Ablex.

Ablex worked hard not to concede any goals during the first 45 minutes. They were out of touch in the opening minutes, but Giyani failed to convert some obvious scoring chances. In the first instance, their left flank, Nigel Mathonsi, fumbled at the goal finish with the Ablex keeper, Brian Mahasahasa, already beaten. In the 14th minute their overlapping midfielder, Zakhele Qwabe, caused an upset by shooting aimlessly from outside the penalty box, following a neat pass from Musa Mkhabele.

The referee kept control of the match and warned Blessing Maluleke of Giyani with a card.

This after he tackled Matome Mokoena from behind. The half-time score was still 0-0.

Ablex were the better side throughout the last stanza. The keeper of Giyani, Luckyboy Mosele, made a brilliant save when he blocked Mavhungu Matamela’s aerial ball in the 57th minute.

During the last 20 minutes of the match, Giyani

controlled the game, but they could not find the net. The goal that earned Ablex three vital points came in the 74th minute. George Sitjie beat the defence after receiving a beautiful pass from Nkhetheni Maliboho and scored with a half volley.

Giyani’s striker, Thembinkosi Pohlolo, missed a fortune towards the end of the match. He suffered the pain of watching his volley going a little wide.

After acquiring the service of well-known coach Sello Chokoe, Ablex have collected seven points in succession, winning two matches and Some of the elderly people received 100-litre drawing one. water wheelbarrows from the Mashawana Foundation. Photo: Silas Nduvheni.

The aim of these projects is to encourage black commercial farmers to produce good quality products by following a scientific agricultural approach, and to maximise profit. “There are many people who breed sheep and goats, but they lack the knowledge on how to maintain and feed their livestock. I want to produce the best farmers who would then grow this sector and create more employment,” he said.

He has committed himself to mentoring women and young people. “My wish is for women and young people to focus on farming and go to the agricultural college, so that they can learn about farming.

I can teach them to become great livestock farmers.”

Home Defenders too strong for Vondwe XI Bullets in ABC clash

By Frank Mavhungu

Mpheni Home Defenders kept their title hopes alive by beating Vondwe XI Bullets 3-1 in their ABC Motsepe League match played at the Tshifudi Stadium on Saturday.

Home Defenders took the game to the home side from the start but squandered several obvious scoring chances within the first 15 minutes of the game. Bullets were lucky not to concede an avalanche of goals at that stage as their defenders were running for cover time after time.

Although Bullets’ centre forward, Phathutshedzo Nemagovhani, was caught in an offside position several times, his defenders continued to pump aerial balls to him. Realizing that their scoring chances were slim, Home Defenders effected the first change to their starting line-up 15 minutes towards the end of the first half.

Nemutandani took the free kick and Thabelo Tshikweta, who scored a brace in the game, gave the ball the final touch to give his side a 1-0 lead at half time.

The visitors effected three more changes early in the last stanza. Bullets looked weary and frustrated after the three replacements of Home Defenders. As if they were leading, Bullets started to play defensive football to neutralize the visitors.

The wheel of fortune turned in Home Defenders’ favour again in the 68th minute. Nqubeko Gwala scored with a neat header, following Gift Nemutandani’s square pass. Gwala was cautioned with a yellow card two minutes thereafter. He tackled Talifhani Manyaga from behind and the referee, Mr Fhulufhelo Masindi, was quick to flash yellow.

Thabelo Tshikweta completed his brace after a scramble within the box. The Bullets’ solitary goal came later in the game. Talifhani Manyaga beat the keeper with a long-range half volley to bring the final score to 3-1.

Hard-earned victory for Santos

By Frank Mavhungu Mukula Young Santos are through to the semi-final stage of the prestigious Marshal Resort Soccer Tournament. They beat Rockers FC 5-4 in their quarterfinal match played at the Tshivhilwi Grounds on Sunday.

The game was characterised by yellow cards.

The players continued to demonstrate their rough skills, despite the fact that the referee, Mr Calvin Nemavhola, had flashed four yellow cards within the first 15 minutes of the game.

Rotondwa Kutame, the Rockers’ captain, was the first player to go into the referee’s book. He tackled Kundani Netshandama from behind. Rockers soon realised they were in trouble when they missed a fortune in the 24th minute. Their left winger, Tshakadzavhathu Manguvhewa, went loose from the left corner and unleashed aimlessly from the edge of the The referee, Mr Calvin Nemavhola, looks box. closely as Faranani Matsea of Rockers Young Santos had their own regrets towards leaves the pitch after seeing red. the end of the first half.

Their fast forward, Vhahangwele Tshifhango, received a beautiful pass from Avhatendi Mushaphi just outside the box. Instead of relaxing on the ball and trying other possible ways, Tshifhango did the unexpected by shooting wide.

The teams continued to create and squander scoring opportunities in the last half.

Rockers played the last 20 minutes of the game with their hands tied behind their backs. This after their right back, Faranani Matsea, was given his marching orders for a dangerous tackle on Kundani Netshandama.

Rockers did not stop fighting, despite the setback.

They came close to scoring twice within a short space of time later in the game. The scoreboard was still blank at the end of the regulation time and the winner was determined through penalty shootout. Young Santos managed to convert all their five chances via Avhatendi Mushaphi, Unarine Mabone, Kundani Netshandama, Rolivhuwa Nethengwe and Vhahangwele Tshifhango, while Rockers converted Tshakadzavhathu Manguvhewa of Rockers hinders Thifour of their five chances. hanedzwi Nevhutalu of Santos from reaching the ball.

United 1-0 at the Lesley Manyathela Stadium in Musina.

Blackpool must keep an eye on the Happy Boys’ playmakers, Thembinkosi Phohlolo and Ayanda Mabaso, or else they will concede an avalanche of goals. On the other hand, the Blackpool strikers, Philemon Rantso and Julius Likhontsane, are expected to keep the Happy Boys’ defenders running for cover throughout the game.

The defending champions, Mikhado FC, are leaving no stone unturned in their preparations for their match against Musina United, which is scheduled to start at 15:00. United are still to win a league match to date. Musina will pin their hopes on Thabo Dasheka and Senzo Gina for goals.

Musina health awareness campaign Andries steers his team to victory Musina News People from the farming areas outside Musina are in high spirits after they were treated to a proper check-up during a health-awareness campaign, set up at the Maroi farm outside Musina on Saturday, 27 November.

The build-up event was aimed at celebrating World Aids Day on 1 December and organised by the Department of Health, Musina Right To Be LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender), the South African Red Cross Society and

Musina Local Municipality.

Addressing the farming community and invited guests, the head of the community services portfolio at Musina Municipality, Cllr Rudzani Luambo, said everyone had a role to play in building a healthy, productive and active nation. She thereby encouraged people to live healthier by adopting good behavioural habits.

“The most important thing is to eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise regularly.

Check your HIV status on a regular basis and be safe.

The head of community services at Musina Municipality, Cllr Rudzani Luambo, addresses farm workers at Maroi.

If you are HIV positive, get the relevant treatment and care, so that you can remain healthy and strong. If you are sexually active, protect yourself and your partner by always using a condom,” she continued. “If you have been coughing for three weeks or longer, make sure that you are tested for TB, so that you can get treated. Let us try to avoid habits like smoking and alcohol abuse.”

She advised those living with non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, to adhere to their treatment at all times.

“We should all make healthy lifestyle choices and seek medical attention timeously, so that the vision of a society free from the burden of disease can be realised. We must go for regular check-ups, so that diseases are detected early. The earlier a disease is detected, the easier it is to treat.”

One of the local farm workers, Aaron Mbedzi said they were very pleased with the visit. “I wish this could be done every week because we desperately need these services in the farming areas. For the first time in my life, I had my blood pressure and sugar level taken and I’m happy to know that they are normal.”

Madombidzha Try Again through to final

By Kaizer Nengovhela The players of Madombidzha Try Again played their hearts out to beat Magau United 4-3 on penalties in the semi-final of the Matrymphama Soccer Tournament. The match was played on Sunday at Tshiozwi.

Try Again proved to be the stronger team right from the start, with their midfielders dishing promising passes to their front runners. United’s first setback came when Maemu Musiamo was booked for foul play.

Although Try Again enjoyed enough ball possession, their promising moves were stopped by the good defence of United. The match turned out to be a balanced affair in the last stanza. That was influenced mainly by the fact that United were cooling the ball down in the mid-

dle of the park, giving their opponents no chance to do as they pleased. Both sides used all their substitution chances early in the first half.

In the 70th minute, Rowen Thovhale of Try Again received a good pass from Rotshidzwa Phathela to score easily. Five minutes later, Tumelo Mpfumba of United broke loose, but his attempt at goal went a little wide.

Clement Maila of United equalised with a volley in the 87th minute. He sent Try Again’s keeper, Vuwani Galedzana, the wrong way.

United were unlucky in the 89th minute when they were awarded a free kick at the edge of the penalty box. Mutshidzi Matavhela was brought down on the brink of scoring and shot wide from the spot.

The match ended in a 1-1 all draw and in the penalty shootout, Try Again claimed victory.

Another home match for Venda Busy weekend waits Football Academy this Saturday for the MMK teams After playing to a 1-1 draw with the University of Pretoria FC at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Sunday, Venda Football Academy (VFA) are bracing themselves for another home match this weekend. They will host Pretoria Callies at the same venue on Saturday afternoon.

A win against Callies will keep VFA in the hot race for the league title. VFA are lying in the sixth position on the log standings with 22 points, only four behind the pace setters, JDR Stars.

Whether the Callies’ defenders will have the guts to stop the VFA strikers in Rotondwa “Neymar” Mutsivhuli, Rudzani “Zoba” Thabo and Roggert Nyundu, is something that remains to be seen.

Things are not going according to plan in the Callies camp. The club from the capital city parted ways with the team’s head coach, Mr Joel Masutha, and the whole technical staff last weekend. This after the team’s performance was deteriorating from one game to the next over the past weeks. Callies lost 0-1

Bay. Cape Town Spurs and TS Sporting will rub shoulders at the Cape Town Stadium. Polokwane City will host Hungry Lions at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

After giving pupils the chance to focus on their examinations, the MMK Administrator league will resume their matches this weekend at different venues.

Makhitha Oscar Stars, who are the current log leaders, will face an uphill battle when they meet Zamenkomste FC at the Makhitha grounds on Saturday. Mira Black Pull will be the visitors when they test their strength against Manavhela Black Aces at the Manavhela Grounds.

Makhitha Runga Birds will host Tshikwarani Tornado FC at Makhitha, while Muraleni United Brothers will travel to Benny’s Care to fight for league points. Midoroni Real Hearts will welcome Madombidzha Chris United.

All eyes will be on the derby between Magau United Brothers and Madombidzha Arsenal.

This match, played at Magau, is expected to turn into a humdinger.
