Much of the sameness?

Whereas the municipal elections in parts of South Africa caused some major upsets, the situation in Vhembe appears to be much the same as during previous elections. At the time of our going to print, the results in a many wards were still outstanding, with only 56% of the province’s votes counted. Based on the preliminary results, the ANC might get close to the 68% of the support the party received in the 2016 elections.

Monday’s municipal elections proceeded without many glitches, albeit slowly at some polling stations. The IEC reportedly experienced problems with its Voter Management Devices (VMD). In Louis Trichardt, voters complained that their names did not appear on some of the lists, even though they had registered. Political party representatives as well as IEC officials, however, assisted in directing them to the relevant voting stations. In one such case, a husband and wife who share the same address had to vote at different polling stations, without any explanation for why this would be the case.

Not all political party representatives were happy with the process.

An independent candidate standing

in Thulamela Municipality’s Ward 27, Phathutshedzo Ramabulana Mukhaninga, reckoned that the IEC officials were biased. “We (independent candidates) feel that the elections were not free and fair, simply because IEC officials were assisting people to vote in favour of the ANC,” he said. He said that ANC candidates were actively campaigning inside the voting stations in several wards.

His scepticism about the influence of IEC officials was shared by the PAC leader in Vhembe, Steven Maluleke. He reckoned in many cases the IEC officials were unashamedly part of the ANC’s “election machinery” and did not try to remain neutral.

Maluleke was not, however, completely dissatisfied with the results of the election. “We are quite happy with our performance, considering that we used to have two seats in the Vhembe District Municipality, and now the data at hand indicates that we will have six seats,” he said.

The ANC’s spokesperson in the Vhembe region, Mr Tshifhiwa Dali, said that ANC was pleased with its performance in the four local municipalities. “Out of a total of 127 wards, we have won 125,” he said.

Dali said the ANC had claimed back one ward in the Vuwani area that had previously been under the con-

trol of an independent candidate. “Our primary task is to fast-track service delivery,” he said.

By midday Wednesday, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) seemed almost certain to become the official opposition in Vhembe. The EFF’s spokesperson in Vhembe, Mr Dunani Baloyi, said that they had contested the elections at all 127 branches.

Much of the sameness predicted for Vhembe after municipal elections (From page 1) He attributed the low voter turnout to a loss of trust in the ANC and said that many of the EFF’s supporters could not vote on election day. He believes that the IEC should put more effort into voter education.

Baloyi was, however, optimistic about the future. “In years to come, these four municipalities will not be run by

one organisation,” he predicted. He said that a better party representation would lead to better service delivery.

The spokesperson for the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Vhembe, Ms Desiree Van Der Walt, said that it was a bit early to comment, as not enough results were available to make comparisons. She was, however, satisfied with the DA candidates’ efforts prior to and during the election process.

Van der Walt said that a lot of effort had gone into the DA’s campaign, and once the lockdown restrictions had been lifted, they had gone all out to tell voters why looking at the track records of political parties was necessary. She said that whatever the outcome of the elections might be the DA representatives would be working hard for the benefit of the people. “We will be monitoring and be an excellent opposition,

where we are an opposition, and we will leave no stone unturned to make sure that whatever is wrong will be brought to light,” she said.

The spokesperson for the Able Leadership (AL) party, Mr Lucas Magadagela, said that they were reasonably satisfied with their performance, considering that the party was less than eight months old. He was confident that the AL would secure at least one

seat in the Vhembe District Municipality. “We would have performed much better if those young people were not turned back in large numbers from voting stations. They were not given a chance to vote,” he said.

Magadagela also expressed his concern over the biased attitude of the IEC officials. He complained about voters’ being transported to voting stations

by IEC officials, but being told en route to vote for the ANC or

be targeted afterwards. He also criticised the involvement of the tribal authorities. He mentioned a situation at Ha-Matsila where people were allegedly summoned to the chief ’s kraal and coerced into voting for the ruling party. “That is completely out. Democracy allows people to be individuals,” he said and condemned instances where voters were given regalia and influenced not to vote freely.

Meanwhile, Makhadzi, in her messages to Dr Phaswana, claims that she had arrived at the event venue and found that the gates were closed for good. As such, she felt that Phaswana should rather reimburse her R5 000 spent on travelling to the venue.

Phaswana does not agree with Makhadzi’s statements, saying that those were merely tactics for not wanting to pay him back the full amount.

He further claims that, some months prior to the event, Makhadzi had arrived with her team and used some rooms without paying, and that as such she owes the lodge R900 for accommodation.

So far, Makhadzi has repaid R25 000 of the amount, promising to pay another R25 000 before the end of October. On 25 October, Phaswana said that Maseko had called him and promised to settle the outstanding debt.

However, by Tuesday this week, he had neither received the money nor any communication from Maseko.

Mr Maseko was contacted for comment, but no response came through.

Motorists again urged to obey traffic rules following fatal accident

By Silas Nduvheni The driver of a GWM van died after a head-on collision with a minibus taxi on the R524 road near Tshikhudini village, just outside Thohoyandou, on Friday morning, 29 October.

The spokesperson for the Department of Transport and Community Safety, Mr Mike Maringa, confirmed that one person was certified dead at the scene, while 10 others sustained serious injuries.

“Reckless and negligent driving was cited as the possible cause of the accident. All victims were rushed to the Tshilidzini Hospital for treatment.” He said the police were investigating a case of reckless driving and culpable homicide.

A villager in Tshikhudini village, who

wants to remain anonymous, said they heard an unusual sound coming from the R524 road that morning. When they went outside, they found the horrific wrecks of the accident. Upon investigation, they learned that the driver of the GWM van was from Thohoyandou.

Apparently, the van was loaded with cement, and he tried to overtake another vehicle without checking for oncoming vehicles.

The minibus, transporting school learners and other commuters, was driving from the Makhuvha village on the Punda Maria road to Thohoyandou when the accident occurred. According to the eyewitness, the driver of the GWM van tried to get back into his lane, but it A head-on collision between a GWM van and minibus taxi on the R524 road near Tshikhundini village claimed the life of one man on Friday morning, 29 October.

Community structure not satisfied with Musina mayor’s response to demands

By Bernard Chiguvare A local community structure, Musina To The Front, handed a memorandum containing a raft of demands regarding service delivery to Musina Municipality earlier this month.

Among these demands were the need for a consistent water supply, the supplying of water tankers if taps run dry, lowered electricity tariffs and sewage spillage to be fixed.

In response to these demands, Mayor Mihloti Muhlope said that the municipality was aware of the water interruptions within the Musina Water and Sanitation Scheme, as well as the undesirable impact the situation had on the community. She explained the reasons for the intermittent water supply in Musina Town and townships.

“Water shortages in Musina Town and townships are the result of inadequate bulk water supply to maintain enough water levels within the distribution/reticulation reservoirs. The water scheme

relies solely on underground bulk water extraction from boreholes located at various points along the Limpopo River banks. During the heavy rain season, which led to localized flooding in our area earlier this year, 14 water-extraction pumps were washed away and lost from the scheme. Given the water levels within the river, recovery or replacement or repair of the washedaway boreholes and pumps was not feasible. Some boreholes were retrieved and reintroduced into the bulk supply.

However, the yield is not adequate to maintain a constant supply of water to meet daily demands,” Muhlope said.

She outlined some measures taken by the municipality to address some of the concerns, including that the municipality is in the process of re-drilling washed-away boreholes and exploring alternative measures to avoid a recurrence of the problems. Borehole drilling is in progress and expected to be concluded before the end of October 2021.

Normal water supply, she said, was expected to resume as soon as the con-

nection to the bulk and reticulation line was concluded.

Responding to the high electricity tariffs, Mayor Muhlope said that Musina Municipality’s electricity rates were in line with rates as determined by NERSA (National Energy Regulator of South Africa) and the National Treasury, and compared favourably with other municipalities.

Regarding sewage spillage, Muhlope attributed this to the growth of the town and townships. “The existing infrastructure cannot cope with the increased flow,” she said. However, according to her, the municipality is implementing upgrades on the reticulation system to increase the sewer diameter pipes and systems to accommodate a larger flow.

This response apparently did not satisfy the community structure. “We are not convinced by the response; hence, we are going to hand over a memorandum of rejection to the municipality,” said Reekson Matamela, secretary-general of Musina To The Front.

Mamafha scoops up literary prize at AfriCAN awards

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho Prolific author Phathutshedzo Mamafha won a literary award during the AfriCAN Honoree Authors’ Awards ceremony held at the Mozambik Restaurant in Fourways, Johannesburg, on Saturday, 30 October.

His book, titled Beyond All, which is a translation of his original Tshivenda novel, Murabeli, won in the Empowerment category.

The English translation was aimed at expanding the novel’s readership, with great success. “I am delighted to be one of the

authors honoured by AfriCAN Honoree Authors’ Awards in my lifetime. It fuels authors’ zest to continue writing,” he said.

Beyond All is based on the author’s real-life experiences and tells the story of a young girl, named Chanda Makhado, whose mother died when she was still very young. She grows up in the care of her father and paternal grandmother. When her father brings home a new wife and her own two children – who are Chanda’s own age - she is at first happy that she now has a mother again, and siblings. But the mother turns out to be a monster and encourages her own children to abuse Chanda.

“Chanda cannot understand her painful situation; everywhere around her are families where there are new mothers or new fathers, where she sees unity, harmony and peace. This goes to show that, while there

are bad stepparents, there are also good stepparents,” Mamafha explained.

Chanda faces many trials and tribulations. She devotes herself to God through the assistance of religious people around her, and that is how she manages to keep her focus. “In life, people come across different challenges indeed, which either make them stronger or more vulnerable.

Whether it may be good or bad, we choose our battles,” said the author.

During the awards ceremony, writers were encouraged to keep on writing to add value and make the change that they want to see in Africa.

They were told to write their own stories for the betterment of Africa.

Both Murabeli and Beyond All are published by Vhakololo Press in Louis Trichardt.

In manuscript form, Murabeli was a finalist at the Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature awards in 2017.

Mamafha can be followed on Facebook and contacted on Tel 072 103 6902.

Mbedzi promises fireworks for Makhado FM listeners

By Bernard Chiguvare “Your weekends will never be the same again.” This is the promise made by Makhado FM’s new radio presenter, Vuledzani Vincent Mbedzi, to the listeners.

Mbedzi worked as radio presenter for Musina FM for three years, where he was popularly known as Vsquared. After the station closed down because of cable theft and other issues in August this year, Mbedzi seized the opportunity to take on a part-time position as presenter for Makhado FM. Now he has been appointed to the Weekend Connection show, which is aired from 02:00 to 06:00 on

Saturdays and Sundays. Listeners are treated to some good House and Rhumba music.

“I am bringing only the best music to ensure our listeners enjoy the programme and call out for more,” Mbedzi promised.

Mbedzi is from a previously disadvantaged family. After completing his matric in 2009, he could not further his studies because of financial problems. He started his career by recording himself on a cellphone and playing it back until he was satisfied that his voice and presentation sounded good. After several recordings, Mbedzi tried his luck with Musina FM, and got himself a job

as radio presenter.

His passion for the radio stemmed from listening to Phalaphala FM’s morning drive presenter, Jones Netshipise.

authors for their exceptional contributions. This year, the event was held at the Mozambik Restaurant in Fourways.

Ravhura first started writing some nine years ago. Expose your uniqueness, which was released in December last year, focusses on the importance of appreciating life and explains what one’s purpose in life should ultimately be.

Readers are encouraged to first develop their inner selves before showing their talents off to the world. In other words, not to try and fly until their wings are strong enough.

Ravhura said she was very proud to be counted among this year’s awarded

authors. “I am honoured to be recognised for the work that I have been doing. This means that someone has been watching my work.

I received many discouragements along the way, such as that only the old can write; the young lack the knowledge and writing tools to produce passable, publishable writings. But I say that has been proved wrong.”

She is convinced that she might now have a career as an author. “Writing is hard.

Unless you are a full-time writer, you must really be committed. When the muse calls, you must seize the moment and write!” she said.

Ravhura feels that liter-

ature lacks development.

Because writers normally work in isolation and not together, they do not engage on matters that affect them.

She encouraged new authors to share their books with other young South African readers. “The receivers of these books will have the opportunity to improve their own writing skills by expanding their everyday vocabulary,” said Ravhura.

“I grew up in an area where there were few or no role models at all. So, writing this book really means a lot - not only to me‚ but to the people in my village, the ones growing up‚ to show them that nothing is impossible‚” she said.

Mudogwa scoops up three awards at The African Print Authors & Poetry Awards ceremony

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho The African Print Authors & Poetry Awards ceremony was held at the Uncle Tom Community Hall in Soweto, Gauteng, on Saturday, 30 October, and local talent Khathutshelo Mudogwa scooped up three awards, namely Best Female Musical Poet, Best Poet of the Year and Best Traditional Poet.

This is Mudogwa’s second award in a single year. She also won the Best Poet award during the Vhavenda Acknowledgement Awards 2021 early last month. “I cried when I read the messages people sent me after the awards, as it shows how much people love my creativity,” she said.

Mudogwa, known to her fans as “Mudogwa Mukololo wa Africa”, resides at Ha-Masia Tshikwarani village. She started performing poetry at church, where she recited

biblical verses during item sessions. She is also an avid lover of English and Tshivenda literature.

“To be a writer or poet, you need to read extensively. I write about social issues, such as the challenges with service delivery and crime, but also love and happiness.”

The 27-year-old artist’s debut musical poetry album, titled Zwi re khalini ya ndivho, was recorded, engineered, arranged and produced by Ananias Begwa at Rise Up Recording Studio. Her extraordinary poems include U mmbulahelani, Lupfumo lwa Afrikai, Khuthe mulutanyi, Vhumatshelo, N1, Nguvho ya tsiwana and Midzi yau.

“To say I am excited is an understatement; I am super happy!” she said, nearly bursting with joy. “My star is shining brightly, and I can tell that God is on my side. He has put me up here for all the youths

to see that it is possible to realise one’s dreams and reach success.” She extended her gratitude to her manager at OneStep Marketing, Langanani Mbodi.

Writing poems, however, is not all Mudogwa does. She is also a keen sportswoman who manages and coaches the Masia African Stars netball club. She has worked closely with Mavu Sports Development to empower the country’s young people, and she encourages other young women not to give up on their dreams. “The most important thing is to love what you do and to plan your time effectively,” she said.

Zwi re khalini ya ndivho is available on most digital online stores for purchase, and Mudogwa can be followed on Facebook (Precious Mudogwa), or reached on Tel 072 366 2000.

Phalaphala FM honours music legend Rapson Rambuwani Rapson Mbilu Rambuwani was selected by Phalaphala FM to be Lizhakandila for the month of October, due to his massive contribution to the music industry. This forms part of the Ri fhululedza Mazhakandila that is aimed at celebrating artists in the Tshivenda music industry across all music genres.

Born in Mandala, Rambuwani went to Tshituni Senior Primary School and Phiriphiri Senior Secondary School, and then on to Mphephu High School, where he passed his matric in 1984. He has been the spokesperson for the Vhembe Music Forum since 2002 and is the secretary of the Limpopo Music Forum. He has also been a councillor at the Vhembe District Municipality since 2011, where he leads the portfolio for Persons with Disability, Women, Youth and Children.

Rambuwani became a household name in Limpopo and has been active in community structures, such as civic organisations, politics and the Vhembe District Municipality’s disability forum, in which he acts as a full-time counsellor. He is part of the council of Vhalemba Cultural Association.

Albums he released include Mbilu Nwananga, Mune Wanga, Midalo ya Madi, and Mathada, just to name a few. He won different awards at both local and national level for his talent in the gospel music industry.

Rambuwani started singing at Sunday school, as well as in the church worship team, when he was still very young. “I was inspired by the music of Pastor Freedom Singwao, and I told myself that one day I would be like him.

Fellow church members and local community members kept on commending me that I have a beautiful voice.”

He says he decided to sing gospel music because he relates well to the word of God. “I grew up in church and everyone at home lives by the word of God. The Bible teaches us to love one another, and I realized that I could spread love through gospel music. When you sing gospel music, you connect easily with God, and you can simply touch many lives through what you sing. Sometimes the word of God guides me in the song’s composition, lyrics, and the type of message to be delivered to the audience, making it easier to make music under the guidance of the Almighty God.” Phalaphala FM’s programme manager, Sharon Ravele, said, “It is an honour to be celebrating an icon who has had such a major impact and contribution to Tshivenda music over the years. He is someone who has paved the way for other artists and helped in preserving the Tshivenda language and heritage through music.”

Livestock farmers warned to keep track of animals

By Silas Nduvheni Livestock farmers in villages along the Punda Maria road leading to the Kruger National Park were strictly warned against the dangers of stray animals on the roads. This message came across strongly during a road-safety-awareness campaign held in Matiane village on Wednesday, 27 October, The campaign was organised by the Vhembe District Municipality, in conjunction with the Road Traffic Management and South African Police Services, among others.

The Department of Transport and Community Safety’s Ms Ndivhuho Mashige warned livestock farmers from villages in this area that stray animals would not be tolerated as they could cause unnecessary accidents. “Stray animals

bb

have been the cause of many fatalities on our roads,” she said “This despite the fact that the department always deploys traffic offers on the roads and has regular imbizo’s at traditional leaders’ kraals. The problem remains unresolved.”

The executive mayor of the Vhembe District Municipality, Dowelani Nenguda, said the aim of the awareness campaign was to inform livestock farmers in the area about the dangers posed by animals that are not kept at bay by their owners. Reflector jackets were handed out, so that the farmers can be visible while walking with their animals along the roads.

One of the 70 livestock farmers from Matiane village who attended the campaign, Ms Nkomo Nkateko, said they had received valuable information that should be an eye opener for all of them to now look out vigilantly for their livestock.

Skhosana Primary School in N’waxinyamani village performed very well at the recent fifth Foundation Phase Provincial Competitions held at Tiveka Game Lodge outside Polokwane. One of the school’s Grade 3 pupils, nine-year-old Kuhlula Ntsani (left), was announced Xitsonga Reading Aloud winner. She was awarded a tablet, a R500 voucher, a medal and a trophy. Eight-year-old Xivono Maluleke, who is also in Grade 3 (right), won second place for Creative Writing. She was awarded a medal, a trophy, a schoolbag, books and a certificate. Picture supplied.

The police around Waterval said they were dealing with cases where tavern owners did not comply with the regulations. “Police issue summonses to tavern owners who do not comply with regulations. If they receive more than three summonses, the matter is dealt with through the liquor board,” said Sergeant Portion Bila from Waterval police station.

As a way forward, Mashandi Mokane from Save The Children said the country had laws relating to liquor and these laws should be enforced. “We need to look at legislation. There are laws that say children should not be in taverns, but we still see them in taverns. This means that there is a lack of monitoring, either from the government or the community,” said Mokane, adding that more such campaigns should be started to raise children’s voices.

Tshivenda study guide to help pupils score quality marks

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho Millions of children – from primary to secondary level – fill school classrooms each year with the hope of acquiring a good education.

However, what is concerning is to see how many, despite hours of studying, still fail to pass their grades.

Tshimangadzo Mufamadi (31), resident at Ha-Mashau village and a local teacher,

Tshimangadzo Mufamadi believes that school learners can perform better with the relevant material to support their studies. Picture supplied.

believes that the failure rate in schools is often because of a lack of proper study material. That is why, to help learners from Grade 4 up to Grade 9, he had written a new study guide in Tshivenda to serve as learning support for local teachers and learners in schools, and help equip the children with language-related technicalities. The study guide is titled Tsumbandila – Gaidi ya Luambo.

“It took me many hours, countless sleepless nights and a lot of energy to put this book together,” he said.

“Writing and editing a book is not child’s play. When you look at the final product, you must know that a lot of work went into the project.”

Mufamadi, who is currently studying for his LLB degree through the University of South Africa, said that a dream did not become a reality by magic. “You don’t wave a magic wand and suddenly you know everything,” he said. “Learners need to get the relevant study material, focus on that and study really hard to achieve good marks.

I wrote this study guide after realising that many learners still struggle to understand the questions; it’s like they don’t know how to read and write.”

Tshimangadzo Mufamadi can be followed on social media or called on Tel 076 568 0493.

The executive mayor of the VDM, Dowelani Nenguda, who also participated in the 2.6 km fun walk, was delighted with the good turnout and to see everyone’s enthusiasm to participate. “Our elderly people who take part in the various sporting activities not only improve their own health and longevity, but also get the opportunity to interact with others from all cultural groups. We call upon young people to follow in their footsteps and emulate our elderly people by making sure they too stay healthy in a drugfree and progressive society,” said Nenguda.

Mikhado FC start season with a bang

By Frank Mavhungu Mikhado FC started the new season with a bang with a 4-1 victory over the newcomers, Vondwe XI Bullets, in their ABC Motsepe League match played at the Rabali Stadium on Saturday.

Bullets were looking unprepared for the game from the first whistle. They allowed Mikhado to do as they pleased in the middle of the park.

Mikhado took only seven minutest to stamp their authority. Their bulldozer striker, Tau Rankoko, finished off a rebound after Malingongwe Memela’s close-range attempt. The Bullets keeper, Zwoluga Mabuba, mishandled the ball and Rankoko, who was waiting close by, hooked in the loose ball.

Bullets did not show any sign of seriousness after conceding an early goal. Instead, they continued to display their individual skills and lost possession easily. Mikhado capitalised on the setback and scored their second goal in the 24th minute. Tau Rankoko beat the offside trap and blasted in a rocket from inside the box.

Bullets lost hope after they were reduced to 10 men three minutes afterwards. Their midfielder, Emmanuel Gundula, was given his marching orders after tackling Mayibongwe Memela from behind just outside the box. Mikhado were awarded a free kick for the incident. Tau Rankoko beat the keeper with a ground cutter from the free kick to complete his hat trick.

Mikhado were leading 4-0 at the end of the first half. Bonginkosi Makhanya scored an easy goal after the Bullets’ keeper failed to deal with a back pass.

Mikhado strengthened their striking force by replacing Bonginkosi Makhanya and Tau Rankoko with Rendani Thavhana and Vutomi Ngomana respectively. The visitors from Vondwe village pulled one back later in the game. Joshua Netshilindi headed home, following Mulamuleli Managa’s square pass.

They managed to hold Blackpool FC to a 1-1 draw at the Rabali Stadium last Saturday, and now Munaca FC have another mountain to climb. They will host Mikhado FC in their ABC Motsepe League match at the Makhado Show Grounds on Saturday afternoon.

A quick glance at Mikhado’s performance in last Saturday’s game against Vondwe XI Bullets shows that Munaca will be lucky if they manage to hold Mikhado to a draw. Ikwasha Fhedzi, as they are affectionately called, were unstoppable when they brutally walloped Vondwe XI Bullets 4-1 at the Rabali Stadium.

Whether the defenders of Munaca will have enough strength to stop the Mikhado strikers in Tau Rankoko and Rendani Thavhana remains to be seen.

On the other hand, Mikhado must keep an eye on Munaca’s playmakers, Aboudou Houessou and Mojagobedi Kopane, or else they will be embarrassed.

Vondwe XI Bullets must beat Ablex United FC to restore their lost pride. They will meet at the

Tshifudi Stadium. XI Bullets are still in mourning, following their 1-4 defeat suffered at the hands of Mikhado FC last Saturday.

Giyani Happy Boys will enjoy the home-ground advantage in their match against Mpheni Home Defenders at the Xikukwani Stadium outside Giyani. Home Defenders and Happy Boys shared the spoils with their opponents in last weekend’s matches. Home Defenders played to a goalless draw with Musina United, while Happy Boys shared the glory with Emmanuel FC in a 1-1 draw.

Emmanuel FC will entertain Blackpool FC at the Giyani Stadium. Mighty FC will host Ditlou FC at the Seshego Stadium. Mighty FC are still battling to come to terms with the 1-4 defeat they suffered at the hands of Magezi FC last Saturday.

Phinnet City FC will play against Dennilton Callies at the University of Limpopo Campus Stadium.

Tubatse United will fight for league points with Ngoabe City Motors at the Ga-Motodi Stadium, while Magezi FC and Eleven Fast Tigers will meet at the Manamela Stadium outside Polokwane.

Vhembe District, Venda Football Academy (VFA) and Black Leopards FC, have reason to rejoice. Both managed to collect the maximum points from their matches last weekend.

Black Leopards beat the rookies, Platinum City Rovers, 2-1 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday. Kenneth Nthatheni scored Lidoda duvha’s opening goal with a header in the 11th minute, following a corner kick that was taken by Tiklas Thutwa. Leopards increased the lead six minutes into the last half, again through Tiklas Thutwa. The visitors from Rustenburg pulled one back via Steven Memela seven minutes before the end of regulation time.

Sunday’s victory was the second for Black Leopards in 11 matches this season. Leopards had moved two steps up on the log standings with the victory.

They are now lying in the 13th spot with 10 points.

Venda Football Academy managed to collect the maximum points despite playing away from home. They beat Hungry Lions FC 1-0 at the Danie Kuys Stadium in Upington. Rudzani “Zoba” Thabo scored the goal that separated

the boys from the men in the 29th minute. VFA moved two steps up on the log standings with the victory. They are now lying in the ninth spot with 15 points, six behind the pace setters, JDR Stars.

The other Vhembe-based side, Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC (TTM), have reason to press the panic button. Vhadau Vha Damani, as they are also known, have lost two matches in a row. They were beaten 0-1 by TS Sporting FC at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Wednesday (27 October). They suffered another defeat when they lost 1-2 to Pretoria Callies at the Soshanguve Giant Stadium outside Pretoria last Saturday.

TTM are now fighting for survival. They are perched in the third position from the bottom of the log with 10 points. In fact, TTM are still to win a league match ever since Mr Zeca Marques took over as the team’s head coach at the beginning of last month. The other teams also fighting for survival are Cape Town Spurs and Jomo Cosmos. Cape Town Spurs and Jomo Cosmos have nine and five points respectively.

Tshiozwi Mates wallop All Stars

By Kaizer Nengovhela Tshiozwi Mates walloped Mubva All Stars 3-0 in their semi-final clash of the Marindi Soccer Tournament played at Ravele on Sunday.

The result was not a true reflection of the game as Stars matched their opponents pound for pound from the onset. The referee flashed the first yellow card to Murendeni Mauvhelwana, Mates’ right winger, after he tackled Skilo Maluma from behind. When the two teams adjourned for the half-time break, the scoreboard was still blank.

In the 68th minute, Mates put a smile on their fans’ faces.

Their centre forward, Fhulufhelo Mulaudzi, tried his luck with a ground cutter from the 20-metre area. Stars’ keeper watched helplessly as the ball went far beyond his reach.

Mates introduced their bulldozer striker, Tummy Mamobobela, and sacrificed Murendeni Mauvhelwana.

Mamobobela proved his worth when his second pass

Mabaleng gave Stars a Sunday to remember

By Kaizer Nengovhela Hollywood Mabaleng FC gave Sinthumule Dangerous Stars a Sunday to remember when they brutally walloped them 6-0 in their semi-final match of the Marindi Funerals soccer tournament.

Stars spent the better part of Sunday’s one-sided affair at Ravele chasing the action. Mabaleng took only seven minutes to open their account. Their killer-striker, Phumudzo Mudimeli, went loose after beating the offside trap and sent the keeper the wrong way.

Stars lost shape in the middle of the park shortly after Mabaleng’s opening goal.

Mabaleng scored their second goal in the 14th minute. Mudimeli blasted in a rocket after a scramble within the box.

The half-time score was 2-0 in favour of Mabaleng.

Pressure continued to mount on the Stars’ defence. Mabaleng were awarded a corner kick in the 54th minute.

Luvhengo Negota took the kick, and the ball went to Phindulo Mabasa, who made the score 3-0.

Mudimeli of Mabaleng was on target in the 69th minute. He scored after receiving a square pass from Khodani Lukheli. Austin Mboyi of Stars failed to score when he beat the offside trap and shot wide after receiving a pre-cooked pass from Suprise Nkonyane.

Mabaleng increased the margin through Mudimeli to score their fifth goal. Sydney Netshifhe scored his team’s sixth goal after receiving a brilliant pass from Thendo Maphupha in the 87th minute.

By Kaizer Nengovhela Black Leopards, the Vhembe-based team playing in the GladAfrica League, signed an agreement with the Collins Chabane Municipality to play their home matches at the Malamulele Stadium.

During a media conference last Thursday, the mayor of the Collins Chabane municipality, Cllr Moses Maluleke, announced that the stadium would serve as venue for the matches, starting from December this year.

Leopards were using the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane as their

home ground because of the high rent charged by the Thulamela Municipality for using the Thohoyandou Stadium.

Maluleke said that the municipality was committed to bringing more games to Malamulele.

“Our intention was really to attract people. The teams are out there, and they want the best possible deals. We are not intending to run it at a profit,” he said, but emphasized that they needed to maintain the facilities. He also confirmed that Leopards had plans to build a club village in the Malamulele area.

Leopards´ spokesperson, Divhambele

Mbalavhali, expressed his satisfaction with the deal.

“I think it is very important for us to be able to work hard to reach the Premier league. We need such partnerships, but we also want to appeal to members of the public and the media to go out there and assist us,” said Mbalavhali. He said that the team found travelling more than 100 km to play their matches in Polokwane difficult.

“We are moving from Polokwane in January to relocate to Malamulele,” he said. Mbalavhali said that the new village that would host the team would be finished in December.
