King (queen) ship battle continues ...

The battle in the courts to determine who should be the real king or queen of the Vhavenda is gaining momentum, and on Monday (8 April), amended papers will be filed in the Thohoyandou High Court. The parties ask the court to intervene and have the decision to make Toni Ramabulana the king of the Vhavenda declared invalid.

The first applicant is the 21-year-old Masindi Clementine Mphephu, only child of the late paramount chief of the Vhavenda, Tshimangadzo Mphephu (who ruled under the name Dimbanyika). It is argued that she should have been next in line for the kingship but was overlooked because of gender discrimination.

The second applicant is Mbulaheni Charles Mphephu, eldest son of the late Patrick Mphephu. He argues that, should Masindi not be considered for the kingship position, he would be next in line. They dispute the recommendation made by the Royal Family in August 2010 that the rightful incumbent is Toni Mphephu Ramabulana.

During an interview on Saturday, Mbulaheni Mphephu (commonly known as Charles) emphasized that the fight for the kingship is not a personal one but rather to make sure that due processes are being followed and old traditions are honoured. He firmly believes that the young Masindi is the rightful heir to the crown and that the only reason she was not considered, is because she is a woman.

The battle became official in December last year when papers were served on seven respondents, which include Toni Ramabulana, President Jacob Zuma (who had announced that Toni would be the new king), as well as the national

and provincial houses of traditional leaders. The president was that it must be Toni applicants ask the court to firstly set aside the Ramabulana. decision to appoint Toni Ramabulana as king and - Continues on p2 then to declare that the practice of only installing males as traditional leaders be declared unconstitutional.

The respondents have indicated that they will contest the case and now have to file their opposing affidavits. Because of the volumes of the documents involved, the parties asked for more time to prepare their answering affidavits.

According to Mr Johann Hammann (Sr), attorney for the two applicants, they (the applicants) also requested certain documents and these only became available in the past month. One of the important documents is the letter from the Mphephu Ramabulana royal council in which they make a recommendation to the office of the president.

The meeting of the royal council held on 14 August 2010 is important for a variety of reasons. This meeting followed the announcement of the Nhlapo Commission that the kingship of the Vhavenda resides in the house of the Mphephu Ramabulana family.

The Royal Family had to decide, based on certain criteria, who the incumbent should be. The recommendation to the

Pinky is the new Vhembe FET queen

“Respect all the rights of sex workers”

Miss Pinky Rasalanavho is the College.

Tshidimbini outside Thohoynew queen of the Vhembe FET The 18-year-old lass from andou was crowned as the new queen last Saturday (30 March), during a glittering pageant held at the 2010 Centre. She is a student in chemical engineering at the Makwarela campus of the college and, in the past, has been crowned as Miss New Generation 2011 and Miss Teen Production 2009.

Ms Thandi Mkhize (22) was crowned as the first princess and she is also Miss Personality.

Miss Tshililo Divhani (22) is the second princess. All the winners received microwave ovens and audio equipment.

According to one of the organisers, Zwiitwaho Maphiri, from Mulivhuhe Azania, they are happy with the outcome of the contest as well as the fact that they had done something for the young rural adults.

“Most of the talented young ladies never receive the opportunity to show their talent, especially in modelling.”

The winners will soon compete with the winners of the other local FETs and will also have the opportunity to compete for the Miss FET Limpopo crown.

Miss Pinky Rasalanavho.

The number of sex workers in the Vhembe is on the increase, even though many do not come out in the open about their job If a stakeholders meeting held at the Graceland Lodge is anything to go by, their working conditions are set to change for the better.

The meeting at which many stakeholders, including health, police and other organisations, were present, took place on Thursday. It was the initiative of the Thohoyandou Victim Empowerment Programme (TVEP) and Sisonke Limpopo.

One of the coordinators, Ms Sophia Kekana, a paralegal attached to the TVEP, who is championing for the rights of sex workers, said sex workers were facing many challenges on a daily basis. “We are all aware that sex work remains an illegal activity in the country. We want to put across that even though their trade is illegal, they still

have rights, which are trampled on in most cases. We would like to sensitize different service providers about the plight of the sex workers. We hope that the injustices orchestrated against them will come to an end,” said Kekana.

She said the main culprits were the SAPS, who are accused of harassment, assaults and other forms of discrimination against sex workers. “Sex workers are exposed to all forms of dehumanizing and negative attributes, which are uncalled for, on a daily basis.”

Ms Linda Dumba, media liaison officer for Sisonke, said there were many sex workers in the province but they could not come out in the open, for fear of retribution by their communities. “There is a stigma associated with the trade in the rural areas, unlike in the cities, where the workers are more organized. We have started mobilizing them and making

them aware that they have the right to exist and work. We have started a campaign to have sex work decriminalised. This is the beginning of a major campaign towards bettering the lives and working conditions of sex workers,” she said.

During the meeting, sex workers had the chance to narrate their ordeals and the day-today experiences and challenges attached to their trade.

Representing the SAPS, Major Mashudu Malelo said every person had rights, whether under arrest or not. “As the SAPS, we uphold the rule of law and we are aware that everybody has rights which should be respected. Most of the things levelled at us we are hearing for the first time, and we will pass it on to members that if these things are happening, they should stop completely,” he said.

He encouraged those who feel wronged to lay charges at any police station.

Thohoyandou police spokesperson Major Mashudu Malelo is sandwiched by Sisonke´s Lindah Dumba (left) and TVEP´s Sophie Kekana during the meeting. They agreed that a broader meeting was necessary that would include many stakeholders.

A man was killed when a 36-year-old woman allegedly set her husband and stepdaughter alight, in what appears to be a case of serious domestic violence.

The incident happened on 24 March at Tshirolwe Extension 2, at about 03:20.

Father and daughter Mr Josias Thivheli (48) and Rofhiwa (16) sustained critical burns in a raging fire. According to the police, it is alleged that Thivheli's wife, Ms Livhuwani Priscilla Phaswana, poured petrol into the one-room house in which they were all sleeping. The petrol caught the candle flame, which instantly caused an inferno.

According to the family members who managed to speak with Mr Thivheli shortly after he had come out of the burning house, the problem started when Phaswana complained about a strange SMS message on Thivheli's cellphone.

It is alleged that after the fire started, Rofhiwa broke a window to get out and slipped into a drum of water to quench the flames on her body. Thivheli was not so lucky. He called out for his daughter to break the nearest window, so he also could come out of the burning house. By the time Thivheli got out, he had sustained severe burns and he passed away in hospital.

Rofhiwa was rushed to a hospital in Polokwane, where she was admitted to the intensive care unit.

“We are still struggling to come to terms with the horrible situation that has stricken our family,” said a member of the family.

The local community leader, Vho-Andries Sinthumule, and Ward 35 councillor, Mr John Mamafha, expressed their shock during a visit to the affected family last Wednesday. “This case affects us very much in a way that we feel troubled and shocked to the core,” said Sinthumule. “We can't allow this evil spirit of setting people alight to continue among us. People need to learn to solve problems amicably and not use violence.”

Thivheli was an employee at Exxaro mining in Delmas, Mpumalanga. He was laid to rest at Sane in Ha-Musekwa. Rofhiwa is still at Mankweng Hospital.

The spokesperson for the Mphephu police, W/O Lazarus Netshidzati, had confirmed that Phaswana had been charged with murder, arson and attempted murder, following the incident. “She appeared in the Dzanani Magistrate's Court and her case was postponed to 8 May for further investigations,” said Netshidzati. She remains in custody.

Rofhiwa Thivheli is responding well to treatment at the hospital.

Hissing cobra pinches a ride in taxi to Maniini village ing and running for dear life.

It took the courage of a young Zimbabwean man who, after sprinkling petrol on the snake, grabbed it by its neck and pulled it out of the taxi.

The snake was left to the mercy of the commuters, who used anything they could lay their hands to hit the snake.

Within minutes, the snake was dead and a large crowd had gathered to have a glimpse at the long reptile.

Many things were said about the unwelcome visitor at the taxi rank.

“This is pure witchcraft. How can such a big snake get into a taxi that

transported people only a few minutes ago? The driver must consult a traditional healer, because someone with dreadful intentions must be after him,” said Aifheli Mudau, Mr Mashau Masindi, a mechanic,

said it is not unusual for snakes to be found under cars. “It is now winter and snakes find cars warm; it is easy for them to coil themselves under the engines. There should be no panic about that,” he said.

A taxi driver was relaxing and preparing to take his second load of the day, when an unwelcome visitor appeared from nowhere ...

The hissing sound of a snake was heard by one of the passengers who, after a closer look, was greeted by the nasty look of a two-metre cobra staring at him. The snake’s head was protruding from just behind the driver’s seat.

The incident happened at a busy taxi rank in Thohoyandou last Wed­ nesday in a Maniini bound taxi. The hissing snake sent commuters panick-

Faeces invade houses in Tshikota township Residents in Tshikota, the township adjacent to Makhado Town, are beyond livid with the local Makhado Municipality about the on-going sewage-spill problems. Some of them have even had to move out of their houses because they cannot stand the stench anymore.

It has become a common sight to find young children in Tshikota playing near faecal pools which stream from a burst sewer. “Most of the time there’s no water

in Tshikota, and when the municipality finally decides to open the water, the sewerage system just cannot cope with all the matter,” said Sophie Mulaudzi, one of the residents.

Thomas Raphalalani, a taxi driver and resident at Tshikota, has been living in his house on and off, after the blockage in the main line to his house had caused faecal matter to flood his house through an indoor toilet. He has reported the case to the Makhado Municipality many times

since the problem had literally surfaced in mid-January this year.

“They are not willing to help me,” he said, his voice filled with sadness and desperation. “I say so because they keep on making empty promises.” Raphalalani said he had phoned almost all the relevant officials in the municipality’s technical department, including the department’s director, Mr Thilivhali Ralulimi, but only empty promises were made to him.

When we visited Raphalalani at his house two weeks ago, there was hardly any space left to step inside the house.

The floors in all the rooms were filled with raw sewage. “How can a sane human stay in this mess?” a frustrated Raphalalani asked. He has been renting another house at a cost of R600 a month because he couldn’t stay in his house any longer.

At the back of his toilet, he had opened an outlet on the toilet drain pipe to stop the sewage from flooding his house, but it was all in vain. The stream of sewage was so strong that it could push away a five-year-old child two metres or more.

Raphalalani’s walls are damp and the sewage has also started to cause damage to his furniture. “As a resident who pays a bill, I feel that the municipality should show me some respect and fix the sewerage system,” he complained.

Martha Tshivhidzo is Raphalalani’s neighbour, who is also affected by the spilling sewage. “We have to cover our noses even when we are inside our own houses, because of the bad stench,” she said. She maintained that the affected community members had sought help Thomas Raphalalani’s house is filled with sewage. from the municipality, but the municipality never addressed the problem.

“They tell us to respect workers who come to our area, or else they will send the police to come and arrest us,” Tshi­ vhidzo said. “We don’t know what they mean, because those workers are shooed away by the sight of the faeces. If the municipal workers are so disturbed by what they see, what about us who have to endure living in the sewage?”

In December last year, Ward 21 councillor Abraham du Plooy pointed out in an interview with the Limpopo Mirror that a new sewerage system needs to be installed in most parts of the town when Tshikota was rocked by an outburst of leaking and spilling sewage.

Following the latest reports of sewage spills in Tshikota, this reporter contacted the Makhado Municipality’s spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, to ask him to respond or answer to Cllr Du Plooy’s opinion that the sewerage system needs to be reinstalled from scratch instead of fixing one point on the mainline repeatedly.

Bobodi evaded the questions - even Late 2012: This trench was dug from a mainline sewerage hole to divert the the email which was sent to him on 27 sewage from running through the dysfunctional sewerage system’s pipes, into March - and consequently referred the the open near Elisa Ndou’s home. As a result of the trench of odorous sewage, paper to the water superintendent at the residents can hardly eat any food in their own houses as green flies come to municipality, Mr David Mukosi. “People of Tshikota need a workshop where rest on their plates of food even today. they will be taught to stop throwing objects in the toilets and the sewerage system,” said Mukosi. “That’s the main cause of sewerage blockages in Tshikota.”

He maintains that he had sent workers to repair the pipeline at Raphalalani’s house last week.

“They came to fix the problem on Sunday, after my lawyer had put pressure on them,” said Raphalalani. “I am considering moving back to Thomas Raphalalani no longer lives at this house after raw sewage started to flood it in January. my house again.”

Masindi leads Sanco zone The Makhado Sanco zone met at the Makhado show grounds a fortnight ago, to reflect on the activities of the zonal structure for the past two years and to find a way forward by electing a new zonal executive committee.

Mayor David Mutavhatsindi welcomed Sanco’s invitation to the conference and added that the municipality had a good relationship with organisations such as Sanco.

“The doors of my office are open for Sanco and as such we are willing to work with you.”

Vhembe Sanco region’s chairperson Ohwen Makhubela stated that Sanco had noted with regret that the audit outcomes of the municipalities for 2010/2011 had not improved from those of 2009/2010. He said that Sanco believed that this stagnation was due to a deliberate lack of attention to the auditor general’s findings and management letters and further lack of commitment to address them by

both political and managerial heads within the municipalities.

“We believe that we should put a radical stop to mediocre performance by our municipalities,” Makhubela told the mayor. “We recommend that municipal officials who receive tenders from their municipalities, be put on disciplinary processes.”

The new executive committee is comprised of 10 members, namely Daniel Masindi (chairperson), Mpho Ntshiri (deputy chairperson), Domnick Rasimphi (secretary), Tshiwela Mudau (deputy secretary), Khathutshelo Phaswana (treasurer), Mkhacani Ngoveni (organising secretary), Godfrey Ramadwa, Reggie Maluleke, Selinah Ramulifho and Meriam Mashavhela.

Masindi said that the new executive committee was going to tackle the challenges of service delivery within the municipality. Those issues are the lack of water and sanitation, electricity, roads and streets, he added.

Some of the new Makhado Sanco executive committee members are (from left to right) Daniel Masindi, Domnick Rasimphi, Selinah Ramilifho, Goddy Ramadwa and Khathutshelo Phaswana.

Clamp down on illegal taverns Intensified police operations and more visibility led to several suspects’ arrest in the Limpopo pro­vince over the past Easter week­end.

According to the provincial spokesperson, Col Ronel Otto, the police focused on high-crime spots such as shebeens and taverns and, in the process, managed to close down a total of 25 illegal liquor outlets. She confirmed that 154 tavern owners were also charged with contravening their license stipulations.

Across the province, a total of 94 people was arrested for driving under the influence of liquor and 1 457 fines were issued for those people who

had flouted the liquor law. Nineteen suspects were arrested for the possession of suspected stolen property and investigations to link these suspects to possible incidents of housebreaking and theft and even armed robbery are in the process. A further 11 people were arrested for the illegal possession of fire-arms and investigations to link them to possible incidents of armed robbery are on-going.

Provincial police commissioner Lt Gen Simon Mpembe expressed his satisfaction with the weekend’s successes by the police and also thanked members of the public who had offered their support and co-operation.

Numerous arrests at Beit Bridge during police’s Easter campaign The police at Beit Bridge arrested 335 suspects during the Easter holiday’s anti-crime operation, raising a total of US$16 000 through ticketing for various offenses.

Police spokesperson C/Supt Lawrence Chinhengo said the suspects were arrested between Good Friday and Sunday. Among those arrested were motorists, alleged poachers, stock thieves and bogus clearing agents operating at the border, mostly targeting travellers passing through the border post.

The highest number of arrests was under the Road Traffic Act, which saw 245 motorists being fined for offences such as overloading, reckless driving and failure to adhere to traffic rules and regulations. They also impounded

17 vehicles that were not roadworthy.

“We mounted mobile roadblocks targeting overloaded cars, unregistered vehicles carrying passengers with unsecured loads, and unlicensed and drunken drivers who mainly contribute to road accidents,” he said.

Chinhengo said they had deployed more officers at the border and other strategic areas such as Dulibadzimu bus terminus and major highways to flush out criminals and touts. “We have noted that most criminal activities happen during this time of the year as criminals tend to capitalise on an increase in the movement of traffic at the border,” he said.

He urged members of the public and travellers to be alert and report any criminal activities.

A nurse takes the blood pressure of Mr Steven Mamburu after the successful health walk at Madombidzha a fortnight ago.

Human Rights Day in South Africa on 21 March coincided with the Bahá’í New Year. The Bahá’í calendar dates back to 1844, the beginning of the Bahá’í Era. This year is 170 BE (Bahá’í Era). This day coincides with the vernal (spring) equinox, the first day of spring in the northern hemsiphere.

The New Year celebrations vary from community to community. The Bahá’ís of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) joined the Bahá’ís in Polokwane in celebrations, which included a colourful and multi-cultural programme, including dances, drama, songs and speeches. Photo supplied.

Shongi Maluleke (13), Mkateko Ngwenya (12) and Debra Mashabela (12) of Xihlobo Primary School in Malamulele, photographed while rendering a poem that educated the community about the importance of water conservation. The event took place during a recent Water Week celebration at Tshikundamalema. Photo: Ndivhuwo Musetha.

Wandile Nyundu, a 23-year-old unemployed father of one, recently won a hamper in the PEPcell “Win your Dream” competition. “I was told by a friend about the competition, and spent at least an hour every day entering and praying and hoping to win. Then, when Tumi Masemola walked into our yard with a huge smile on her face, handed the envelope to me and told me to open it, I thought it would be something like an airtime voucher. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to win R50 000”, he said. Growing up in Tshamahanzi, a small village in Limpopo, Nyundu and his family have faced various financial challenges. “I entered the competition in the hope that perhaps I could complete the construction of the family house, as it’s been delayed for almost a year. I just really wanted to give my family and my mother the chance to live in a decent house,” said a tearful Nyundu. “Knowing that my family will be able to live in a lovely house makes me want to focus on my other future plans, like my desire to study for an LLB degree at Wits next year. I am so grateful to God and to PEPcell for making my dream come true!” In the photo, Wandile Nyundu from Tshamahanzi, Polokwane (centre), shows his complete delight and surprise at winning R50 000.

Mahosi told Mr Sithole that they visited him to receive first-hand information about his condition and those of others in the village.

She told him that when they returned to the office, she and with her officials would discuss how they could intervene. The delegation also presented groceries to Sithole. From there they proceeded to Muswani village, where she visited the family of Nobela and Sonia Mabasa. Nobela is a mental care patient and one of her children is also mentally retarded.

We have had cases where people ran away from us, the caregivers and the police because they feared that they might be HIV positive.”

Mashau emphasised that even when people are HIV positive, running away from oneself is not the answer. “You need to get tested and treated in time to prevent any aggravation,” she advised.

One woman relayed a case of two friends who would share medication, because the one didn't go to the clinic for consultation but felt that they could

share medicines since they had a similar problem. “That's suicide! Medication is prescribed according to a health practitioner's findings,” she said.

The chairperson for the Vuwani community policing forum, Mr Khakhathi Mukwevho, encouraged all those who had attended the event to spread the word that TB is curable.

“Mu-hana-ndivho ndi mupfuma-vivho (One who refuses knowledge gets to have jealousy in his heart),” Mukwevho said idiomatically. “We must start uplifting one another's spirits and then we'll live in healthy bodies.”

At the end of the function, attendees were tested for TB and HIV voluntarily.

Campaign to identify bogus beneficiaries Mayor David Mutavhatsindi was at the forefront of the campaign to pay a social grant to the right person, held at the Sinthumule sports grounds last Friday.

Members gathered for the reregistration programme of the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Ravele. The district manager of Vhembe, Mr Azwihangwisi Magadagela, said Sinthumule/Kutama was one of the biggest regions in Vhembe and many people had many challenges.” Most people here are disadvantaged; they cannot get to our SASSA offices to update their details. We are here to give them the necessary services they need from us,” he added.

Mutavhatsindi said the pro-

gram would help save money as some grants were paid to the wrong people or non-existent people. “We need the money to eliminate challenges faced by communities; challenges like poverty, unemployment and crime,” he added. He also condemned the rape of a seven-yearold girl from Olifantshoek, who had passed away in Elim Hospital the previous week. “Real men do not rape. The perpetrators need to end up in jail,” he said. ThovheleKhosi-Vho-Rudzani Sinthumule thanked Sassa for bringing their services closer to the people of Sinthumule, so that they know whom to consult with if they have problems. Sinthumule also said he was deeply hurt by the youth who were now turning

into “baby-making machines at a young age to receive grants.”

He said he wished “the government would stop feeling sorry for the youth and only give grants to people who really deserve it, like our elderly people and all the needy, poor people,” he said.

He pleaded with the youth to focus on education, “as it is the key to unlock a brighter future" and also urged the parents to teach the children morals and values.

During the event, representatives of SASSA presented some 140 families with food parcels.

People also applied for identity books and birth certificates and received new SASSA cards.

Some also applied for social grants.

Thieves loot bar while guard is sleeping A Beit Bridge man was arraigned before the courts two weeks ago for teaming up with an accomplice (who is still at large) and breaking into a local cocktail bar. They stole bottles of wine, crates of soft drinks and beer and several packets of cigarettes, all worth US$ 1 449, while the security guard was fast asleep.

peared before Magistrate Innocent Bepura.

The case was postponed and the accused remains in custody.

The court heard that between 8 and 9 December last year, Kwiriri teamed up with an accomplice and they went to Mashakada Cocktail Bar in Dulibadzimu. On arrival, the pair used iron bars to destroy the door and gained entry into the bar.

The court further heard that while inside, the two men ransacked the bar and stole several

crates of soft drinks and beer and bottles of wine. They also took several packets of cigarettes.

They then went to a local dumpsite where they hid the loot.

The security guard manning the premises discovered the offence a few hours later and reported the matter to his superiors, who in turn alerted the police.

Investigations were conducted, leading to the arrest of Kwiriri and the recovery of some of the stolen goods, to the value of US$1300.

Border jumper robbed and left naked A border jumper from Chivi village outside Beit Bridge was left naked after he was robbed of his clothes, a cell phone and R200 at knifepoint by a man who purported to assist him across the border into South Africa illegally.

Police spokesperson C/Supt Lawrence Chinhengo said the incident occurred two weeks ago at a bushy area near the Limpopo River spillway.

The suspect, Norman Mahere (24), is linked to a notorious syndicate, operating along the Limpopo River, which is involved in assisting border jumpers as well as robbing them. “The victim allegedly approached the suspect on the understanding that he would assist him to cross the border into South Africa illegally. The two men then went together to

the spillway, where the suspect assisted his victim to swim across the Limpopo River,” Chinhengo said. Soon after they had crossed the river, Mahere allegedly pulled out a knife and ordered the victim to remove his clothes and also robbed him of a cellphone and R200. “The suspect went away with the border jumper’s clothes, leaving him stranded and stark naked in the bush,” Chinhengo said.

The victim managed to find his way back and proceeded to the Beit Bridge police station, where he reported the matter.

Mahere was arrested the following morning after he was spotted by the victim, wearing the stolen clothes.

On being nabbed, Mahere led police to a house in Dulibadzimu suburb in the border town where his four accomplices

were hiding and they were also arrested. Police recovered US$250 from the four men, which is suspected to have been acquired through robbing border jumpers. The four are Methuseli Malapela (23), Nkosilathi Mkandla (26), Mabuya Nkomo (21) and Brighton Nyamike (27). Nyamike was also on the police’s wanted list for a series of armed robberies committed along the Limpopo River.

“We would like to believe that the five men were operating as an organised syndicate that could be involving others. We are, however, continuing with our investigations, hoping to make more arrests,” Chinhengo said. The five suspects appeared in court on Monday on robbery charges and the case was postponed to 15 April. They remain in custody.

Teachers from Sweden recently donated five laptop computers, books and R40 000 to the Djunane Primary School in Waterval. A spokesperson for the group, Mr Magnus Selberg from Sweden, said his school had an important role to play in the development of this country and one way they had chosen to focus on was education. The headmaster of Djunane, Mr Steven Mabunda, was very thankful. He said that the donation would help them meet their mission of providing comprehensive information service to pupils. During the handing over of the donation are, from left to right, Janne Ohlsson, Peter Ohlsson, Magnus Selberg, Steven Mabunda (principal) and Katarina Pettersson.

Raped while harvesting mashonzha An 18-year-old woman was allegedly raped while she was busy collecting mashonzha (mopani worms) at a farm near Musina on 26 March.

The spokesperson for the Musina police, Lt Peter Mudau, said that the victim had gone to catch mashonzha along with other two women and a man.

When she was busy filling her

bucket, she happened to miss the two women.

“By the time her bucket was full with mashonzha, the woman and the man sat down to clean the catch,” said Mudau. “The suspect then started to propose sex, but the woman was not interested and said that the man had a wife already.”

According to Mudau, the sus-

pect started to beat the woman and forced her to have sex with him. Shortly after the incident, the matter was reported to the police.

Mudau said that the suspect, who is still at large, is a wellknown person around Musina.

“We want to assure the community that we will arrest him soon,” said Mudau.

Mr Mpai, your clients could have approached the Press Council more than three years ago and com­ plained if they felt so strongly about the article. The Mirror voluntarily subscribes to the SA Press Code and is obliged to adhere to not only the letter of the code, but also the spirit thereof. Your clients could have phoned the editor or could have written a letter voicing their dis­ content. Why this sudden claim for money more than three years later?

You are also quick to state that summons will be issued against us and “you will be liable for the cost thereof.” I do hope that as a respected legal practitioner you explained to your clients the costs involved in such litigation. Cases such as this will run into hundreds of thousands of rands even before they reach the hearing phase. This is exactly why the Press Council was established, to protect readers from expensive litigation processes.

The Press Council process is free of charge and they normally try their best to expedite matters. Read more about them at www.presscouncil. org.za.

Just a final word to Mr Mpai and perhaps some other colleagues: The Limpopo Mirror and Zoutpansber­ger are on record of being extremely out­ spoken against frivolous litigation.

We feel it is a direct attack on press freedom in our beloved country. In the past years, we have worked hard to put in place defence mechanisms against such practices.

We will forward a copy of your letter of demand as well as our reply to the Law Society of the North­ ern Provinces. We doubt whether they will investigate (because you “merely acted on instruction of your client”), but we will send it in any case. - Editor

Suicide at Mashau The Levubu police have opened an inquest docket after a 59-year-old man allegedly shot himself at Mashau-Bodwe on 20 March.

According to the information, Mr Joseph Nkhumeleni was inside his house when the police arrived to investigate an allegation that he had an illegal firearm in his possession. “The deceased’s wife entered the house to inform him that the police had come and that they wanted to see him.

Soon after that, the police heard a gunshot,” said W/O Solly Mukhola. He confirmed that the man was certified dead at the scene. “As the police, we feel that people need to start to understand that taking one’s life is not a solution to the problem,” Mukhola advised.

Court news

Woman faces conspiracy charge A well-known fire fighter from the Makhado Fire station, Ms Shirley Muleya (30), appeared in the Makhado Magistrate’s court on Tuesday, 12 March, facing a charge of conspiracy to murder her spouse. The case was postponed to 19 April.

Police spokesperson Capt Maano Sadiki said Muleya would have to face accusations that she had hired two hit men to kill her spouse.

Sadiki said investigations were at an advanced stage. He could not rule out the possibility of further arrests.

The suspect was released on R2 000 bail. Shirley Muleya was married to Ishmael Ligege in December 2011

in a ceremony held at Makhado. The honeymoon period was soon over and gone and they parted ways in February 2012. The husband apparently accused his wife of cheating on him.

In an interview with Mr Ligege, he alleged that he later found out that his wife had hired two hit men to kill him.

He alleged that the motive might be an insurance policy she had taken out on his life. Only one of the two men allegedly hired to kill Ligege appeared in court along with Muleya. His case was also postponed to 19 April and he was released after paying R1 000 bail.

None of the suspects had pleaded and will probably be asked to do so during their next court appearance.

Tshitemba gives platform to artists The Tshitemba Visual Arts Exhibition held in the Thohoyandou Indoor Sport Centre last week has been hailed as a step in the right direction.

The exhibition was organised by young, inexperienced artists who are associated with the Thohoyandou Arts and Culture Centre forum. Among the guests in attendance were local art collectors like Prof Dumisani Thabede from Univen, Dr Lufuno Kone of Exxaro, Ms Tsoana Mosiea from the Department of Arts and Culture, prominent local businesspeople and many local artists.

The aim of the project was to promote rural locations through their preservation of the architectural heritage and local arts.

The event also sought to also connect the classic experience of seasoned artists like Hendrick

Nekhofhe with the young generation of artists who are flourishing in the district.

It was funded by the Investing in Culture Project of the national Department of Arts and Culture.

Mr Rendani Mudau, the chairperson of the Thohoyandou Arts and Culture Centre Forum, said there was a need for such events.

He indicated that the event was organised as a response to the continuous need for a platform to expose local art to the local market.

“It also gave young curator Thomas Musubi an experience to work with local artists who also served as a learning platform for local artists and administrators on how to stage and present works of art for commercial exhibition,” said Mudau.

Mudau promised that there

will be future exhibitions running throughout the year to create an art atmosphere in the area. the national Department of Arts and Culture’s Tsoana Mosiea, a project administrator in the department, said they were funding organised artists and projects from previously disadvantaged communities. Tsoana was also excited to see a collection of creatively done art pieces by young and old and expressed the wish that these would be sustained in keeping the local arts alive.

Prof Dumisani Thabede said such events were important, as they gave a platform for artists and collectors to interact and interrogate their experiences and works of art. “Some artworks require the creator of the piece to be there in order to explain the emotions and theme of the piece,” he said.

Brazil wins another “protest” match Alois Magosha’s 29th-minute goal against Musasenda Big V was good enough to secure a place for his side, Makonde Brazil, in the next stage of the PIB MTG and Black Leopards KO competition match at the Makonde Stadium on Saturday.

The game was played under protest.

Makonde Brazil lodged a protest with the referee before the game kicked off.

In their protest letter, Brazil alleged that three Big V players, Thilivhali Mbedzi, Fhatuwani Muthego and Nzumbululo Rambuda, were not properly registered with the team. The game was characterized by rough tackles. The first player to go into the referee’s book was Vhutshilo Nyamande of Brazil. He tackled Rabelani Mudau from behind and the referee was lenient enough to let him go with yellow. Realizing that the referee had not flashed red to Nyamande, the players of Big V followed suit.

Two of them, Edzisani Nevhufumba and Tshilidzi Ramaswiela,

were reprimanded with cards in quick succession.

Brazil were awarded a free kick in the 35-meter area in the 29th minute. This after their midfielder, Mulalo Sikhala, was tackled roughly. The team’s captain, Alois Magosha, tried his luck. The keeper of Big V, Vhuhulu Gotho, failed to deal with Magosha’s banana kick,

which hit the crossbar and landed behind the goal line.

Big V came back strongly in the second half. The unlimited pressure forced Brazil to abandon their positions and played defensive football. They managed, however, to maintain their lead until the final whistle was blown.

Mulalo Sikhala of Brazil kicks the ball.

Now or never for struggling Dynamos Dynamos will play two league matches in the space of four days, despite the fact that the team’s newly appointed head coach, Mr Shepherd Murape, is still battling to find a winning combination.

Murape took over from the former Platinum Stars mentor, Mr Owen da Gama, three weeks ago.

The Giyani outfit will travel to Cape Town tomorrow. They will play against the newly promoted Milano United FC in their NFL first division match at the Grassy Park Stadium. The pride of Giyani must win the matches at all cost, as time is fast running

out for them. They are lying at the bottom of the 16-team log.

They will come back home to host Polokwane City at the Giyani Stadium next Wednesday, April 10. Polokwane City crushed them 3-0 in their first-round league match three weeks ago.

In the other NFD matches that will also be played tomorrow afternoon, Jomo Cosmos will enjoy the home-ground advantage in their match against Vasco da Gama.

They will play at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa.

Blackburn Rovers and FC Cape Town will test each other’s strength at the Mthatha Stadium

in the Eastern Cape. The match between Santos and United will be played at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

On Sunday, Witbank Spurs will entertain the pace setters, Thanda Royal Zulu, at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank.

Sivutsa Stars will visit Polokwane City at the University of Limpopo Stadium and African Warriors and FC AK will meet at the Charles Mopedi Stadium.

The other matches which will be played next Wednesday evening are: United FC vs Vasco da Gama and Santos vs African Warriors.

Still no end to Masakona dispute The salary dispute between the employees of the Masakona Farm, a community-managed farm in Levubu, and the managers of the farm is far from over.

The group that consist of more than a 100 labourers first went on strike at the end of February after the third month of non-payment.

They marched to their employer, the Masakona Community Property Association (CPA), demanding an explanation after they had not received payment for December, January or February.

In the middle of February, they were promised that they would get double pay at the end of February.

On the promised date, however, the workers only received an amount that was the equivalent of one month’s salary.

During the meeting that the farm workers had with the CPA

members, the CPA chairperson, Mr Peter Mhawela, explained that the farm was still awaiting a R4.7 million grant from the government, as well as money outstanding from the South African Revenue Services (SARS).

Other reasons that were given were the transplantation of banana trees on the farm, as well as a late avocado harvest.

The workers returned to work with the promise of the CPA that they would receive all their outstanding salaries. This was, however, not the case this week, with the workers only receiving R2 000.

“We don’t even know for which outstanding month this money is,” said one of the workers, who wished to remain anonymous. “It could be outstanding money, or it could be that we received a raise as a result of the new wage laws,” he added. The

new minimum monthly wage for farm workers is R2 274.82 as from 1 March.

The Limpopo Mirror has learned that, in the meantime, the farm workers have already scheduled a new meeting for this coming weekend to discuss their plan of action.

“We are going to demand an investigation as to where the money is that the farm received from the government.”

The Masakona Farm forms part of several Levubu farms that were sold to the government’s Lands Claims Commission from 2000 to 2003 in a willing-sellerwilling-buyer settlement. The farm itself is now managed by Sharp Move Trading CC, in conjunction with the CPA. The farm, however, still depends heavily on the government for funds to manage the various orchards on the farm.

Black Leopards must beat Stars Black Leopards will, for two reasons, not find it easy to beat Platinum Stars when they meet in their Absa Premiership League encounter at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg tomorrow afternoon (Saturday).

Platinum Stars are one of the hot contenders for the league title. The Stars, or Dikwena, as they are affectionately called, will be fighting it in front of their home supporters. The two teams met in their Nedbank last-16 match at the Peter Mokaba Stadium three weeks ago. That was where Leopards lost 0-2 to kiss the lucrative competition goodbye.

Leopards must win the match despite all the odds in order to move out of the relegation quagmire. It will be time for the former Black Leopards playmaker, Robert Ngambi, and the left back, Edward Tshabalala, to prove to their former employers that they had committed suicide by letting them go. Tshabalala scored the Stars’ second goal against Leopards in their Nedbank Cup KO competition match three weeks ago.

In the other Absa Premierhsip League matches that will also be played tomorrow, Lamontville Golden Arrows will host Kaizer Chiefs at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban. The University of Pretoria will play against Amazulu at the Lofus Stadium and on Sunday, Ajax Cape Town will rub shoulders with Free State Stars.

Ajax must win the match as they are one of the relegation candidates. Also on Sunday, Bloemfontein Celtic will host Maritzburg United at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.

Moroka Swallows will entertain Bidvest Wits

Damani Powerline scrape through In their PIB MTG and Black Leopards KO Competition match at the Makonde Stadium on Saturday, Damani Powerline booked a place in the next stage of the competition by beating Tshitavha Arsenal 2-1.

Arsenal were strong in the middle of the park, but their strikers showed no appetite for goals.

The captain of Powerline,

Avhavhudzani Mukundwa, was a thorn in the flesh of the defence of Arsenal. Mukundwa threatened to score in the 14th minute.

He received a beautiful pass from Livhuwani Ramagwede, but his volley missed the target by inches. In the 19th minute, Powerline broke the silence.

Rialivhuwa Phalanndwa made no mistake, following a neat pass

from Khathutshelo Mafunise.

Arsenal gained momentum as the game progressed. Their overlapping midfielder, Elvis Mavhungu, came close to scoring in the 34th minute. He beat two defenders and unleashed a volley that went a little wide, much to the disappointment of the team’s fans. Arsenal retaliated four minutes before the teams adjourned for half time. Thabelo Muofhe was on target with a ground cutter to bring the half-time score to 1-1.

Three Powerline players, Khumbudzo Khothisa, Livhuwani Ramagwede and Solly Mutangwa, were cautioned with yellow cards for different infringements early in the last half. Powerline replaced Tsiruwani Dzialwa with Lawrence Daswa in the 60th minute.The goal Leonard Munyai of Arsenal (right) and Rialivhuwa Phalanndwa of Powerline fight for possession which separated the boys of the ball. from the men came in the 79th minute.

Can Nobela Stars upset the Blue Rocks?

Nobela All Stars must win their match against Blue Rocks in the Safa 2nd division at the Lesley Manyathela Stadium in Musina tomorrow, in order to enhance their chances of escaping the relegation axe at the end of the season.

Stars are in the second-last position on the log. Things are not going according to plan in their camp.

They had been donating points to their opponents in their 10

previous matches. Their most recent result was a 0-1 home defeat at the hands of Ray Pillars at the Malamulele Stadium a fortnight ago.

In the other matches that will also be played tomorrow, Rospa United will host Lephalale Young Killers, while Basel and Ray Pillars will meet at the Makwarela Stadium. Phungo All Stars and The Dolphins will meet at the Eltivillas grounds. Phungo are currently lying at the bottom of

the log.

The rookies, Baobab Zero Fake, will enjoy the home-ground advantage in their match against Baroka FC. Giyani Hotspurs will meet Magezi at the Giyani Stadium, while Mighty FC will entertain Winners Park at the Peter Mokaba Stadium this evening. Modimolle Aces and Mosesetjane All Stars will meet at the Ephraim Mohale Stadium in Modimolle on Sunday afternoon.

Still awaiting decision on Mulaudzi’s death The investigation into the alleged misconduct of two police constables following the death of a suspect they tried to apprehend is completed.

A case of murder was opened against the two constables from the SAPS in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), following the fatal shooting of the 33-year-old Mr Justice Mulaudzi in August last year. Mulaudzi was shot in the head during an altercation with the two constables near the railway crossing in Grobler Street.

According to the police, the two female con-

stables were on routine patrol when they spotted Mulaudzi and noticed that he seemed to be under the influence of alcohol. They stopped and tried to question him about it. Mulaudzi allegedly refused to be questioned and, when ordered into the back of the patrol vehicle, he lost his temper and became aggressive. He then allegedly snatched one of the constables’ service pistol and threatened to shoot them with it. A struggled ensued in which Mulaudzi was shot.

At first, the Makhado SAPS opened an inquest docket regarding Mulaudzi’s death. Soon afterwards, however, the charge was changed to murder when the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IDIP) got involved in the investigation.

A spokesperson for the IDIP, Mr Moses Dlamini, said last year that the results of the investigation would be made known and that they were waiting on a post mortem, as well as a ballistic report, before closing the investigation. This investigation was, however, delayed as a result of the much-publicised Marikana shooting and Lonmin strike in Rustenburg that also happened in August last year. Two policemen and 34 striking miners were killed in this incident, about a week after Mulaudzi’s death.

In the meantime, rumours surfaced that the Mulaudzi case was being swept under the rug and that his post mortem report had gone missing. Dlamini refuted these claims.

He confirmed last week that the investigation had been completed and that “all outstanding technical reports have been obtained.” According the Dlamini, the IDIP will know in about two weeks’ time whether the matter will go to court. This is because the senior public prosecutor had yet to make a decision whether to prosecute or not.

Leopards in the doldrums A second-half comeback was not good enough to save Black Leopards from Supersport United, who beat them 3-2 in their Absa Premiership League match at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday.

It took Superpsort United only five minutes to open their account. Bradley Grobler beat the Leopards keeper, Azwinndini Maphaha, with a ground cutter. As if they were hypnotized, the Leopards defence lost cohesion soon after the home side’s initial goal.

They conceded the second goal in the 24th minute. Their Nigerian striker, Joshua Obaje, abandoned his position and went back to assist his defenders. Pressure continued to mount on the Leopards defence and ultimately Obaje handled the ball within his own penalty area. The Eastern Cape referee, Mr Lwandile Mfiki, awarded a penalty to Matsatsantsa a Pitori. Kermit Erasmus converted

from the white spot.

The home side continued with their dominance, with the visitors from Limpopo chasing the action. It was in the 36th minute when Supersport increased the margin to 3-0. Erasmus hooked in the ball after a scramble within the box.

Supersport tampered with their starting lineup when they introduced Thabiso Nkoana for Attusayo Nyondo towards the end of the first half. Leopards sacrificed David Zulu for Raymond Monama earlier in the last half.

Lidoda Duvha pulled one back through Tiyani Mabunda. He caught the Supersport keeper napping and scored with a close-range rocket.

Leopards later replaced their captain, Mongezi Bobe, with their Zimbabwean international, Abbas Amidu.

Rodney Ramagalela headed home in the 85th minute to bring the fulltime score to 3-2.

Mr Albert Eksteen, general manager of the Khoroni Hotel Casino and Convention Resort, recently received a long-service award from his employers. He started his career as a Telkom technician in 1982, and in July 1987 he accepted a position as a technician at Molopo Sun. “I moved around in the industry, working at Morula Sun, Taung Sun and finally at Venda Sun, now belonging to the Peermont Group. I accepted a promotion to the Umfolozi Hotel and Casino when they opened their doors for the first time, but was asked to take over the general manager position at Khoroni just days before my move was finalised,” Eksteen added. He has been the general manager at Khoroni since February 2002 and holds the title of “the longestserving GM at this hotel,” he said proudly. With him in the photo are Mesdames Fihliwe Nkomo (group human resources executive) and Adri Emmenis (HR manager) of the Peermont Group.

Community honours “nation builder” A local businessman, who gave soccer kits to rural soccer teams, received a boost when he was honoured by the local community.

Mr Simon Ngobeni, a businessman at Shikhumba village in Giyani, handed over four goal posts, shin pads and balls to four teams in his village. He also bought a soccer kit for the winning team in the village.

This did not go unnoticed

as the local Shikhumba tribal authority organised an event to honour him during the Easter weekend.

The representative of the tribal council, Mr Robert Rikhotso, known as Gogogo, presented a trophy to Ngobeni. “We as the royal council are humbled by your nation-building efforts.

We decided to present this token of appreciation to you, so as to inspire others to follow suit,”

Rikhotso said. Rodney “Dolezer” Baloyi, captain of Shikumba Arms Amabutho, the team that won the soccer kit, said they appreciated the good Rikhotso had done for the community.

To win the kit, Amabutho beat SAB 5-4 on penalties, after their game was tied at 0-all at the end of regulation time.

In their match against Sigma Giant Masters, Amabuthu also won on penalties.

Khubvi Peace Makers too good for City Mahunguwi United City will not take part in the next round of the PIB MTG and Black Leopards KO Competition. They were booted out by Khubvi Peace Makers, who narrowly beat them 1-0 at the Khubvi Benjies grounds on Saturday.

Reuben Sikhipha of United City could not live up to his reputation as a playmaker as he was tightly marked. City blundered by continuing to distribute pre-cooked passes to Sikhipha, despite the fact that it was evident from the onset that he was harmless. United City soon realised that their midfield was shaky and they introduced Thiitelwi Vhembe Inter-Department League

Rembuluwani for Mashudu Mphaya, who was looking weary from the start. At that stage, the game was 10 minutes old. Moses Malala of Peace Makers was booked for a late tackle on Ndamulelo Negota in the 24th minute.

The game became lukewarm for a while in the middle of the first half as the teams took their time studying each other’s weak and strong points.

Peace Makers’ much awaited goal came in the 36th minute. Rudzani Mmbengeni scored with a volley from an awkward angle.

The second half saw United City invade Peace Makers’ territory for the better part, but it was difficult for them to find their way through the opponents’ defence. United City strengthened their striking force by replacing Innocent Ramukakati with Nangani Ramukadi in the 67th minute.
