Another gruesome mob justice incident

Man set alight

An alleged thief was stoned to death and set alight after a man-hunt by residents of Madombid-zha on Monday. The deceased was said to be part of a group of criminals called Ma-Dickies.

According to residents, the Ma-Dickies group is responsible for crimes such as housebreakings, rape and robberies and shebeen attacks.

A road in the residential area

was blocked on Sunday night, after a community meeting at the royal kraal to discuss the high crime rate. It was apparently decided during the meeting that members of the community would take the law into their own hands in an effort to curb the spiralling crime in the area.

On Monday morning, residents saw one of the suspects and chased after him. They apprehended the man, estimated to be around 26 years old. The mob then beat him to

death with sticks and stones before setting him alight.

Members of the community were then looking for alleged suspects around the villages. On Tuesday, they set alight an RDP house of a suspect at Gogobole.

This is the third incident in less than three months where mob justice prevailed and a suspect was beaten, stoned to death and set alight.

From page 1The previous week, a resident

of Shayandima, Thohoyandou and Gondeni la Ha-Mabilu was given the same medicine by the commu-nity as they thought he was behind incidents of robbery in the area.

The rule of law seems to have lost momentum as communities feel betrayed in that they hand over criminals to the police and then see them roaming the streets the follow-ing day. According to a community member, who did not want to have his name mentioned, the suspect was a member of Ma-Dickies.

“We are tired of the anarchy caused by the thugs. They have been terrorising us for a long time and each time they have committed crime, they simply return to the community,” he said.

"The angry community had just begun to set one of the criminals alight when the police arrived. Residents said that the community had taken the law into their own hands because they claimed the police were not doing their job. Our community is sick and tired of the police arresting criminals and then, within weeks, they are released,''

said a resident.Thovhele Vho-Rudzani Sinthu-

mule condemned the brutal killing of the man. He urged all to be united in the fight against crime. "All we want is a crime-free village where one can sleep outside with open gates, without fear of being attacked by thugs. We are now urging all residents to notify their neighbours if they are away from home."

The spokesperson for the SAPS in Limpopo, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, said that he was concerned about the fact that the community had taken the law into their own hands. He said that the deceased had been beaten with different objects and had died on the scene. “We are always discouraging the community from taking the law into their own hands. If a crime is committed, the community should call the police and let the officers do their jobs. People should take into consider-ation that taking the law into their own hands is a downright criminal offence.''

He added that 19 people had been arrested for public violence. At the time of our going to press, they had still not appeared in court.

Minister Faith Muthambi and other guests perusing some of the books in the new library.

Communications Minister Faith Muthambi has urged the commu-nity of Maniini to make good use of the library that has been donated to them.

Muthambi and senior officials from the SABC, Prof Mbulaheni Maguvhe, SABC board chairperson, SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng, SABC Foundation head Ms Iris Cupido, local traditional leaders led by Chief Makwarela Makhuvha and commu-nity structures offically handed the mobile library to the community on Friday.

The library is housed at the Haggai Independent School and has eased the pressure of local residents who now save on travelling costs when they have to do their assignments and research. The facility is also equipped with computers donated by a Gauteng-based company, Light Fibre Infrastructure.

Muthambi urged the community

to utilise the facility to the fullest, saying they were lucky to have been chosen for the facility from among many communities. She also urged the community to guard possesively against vandalizing the facility.

She also made a call to those who had books they were no longer using to donate them to the library.

On behalf of the SABC, Maguvhe urged the community to benefit from the facility. “Education is key and can change this area to a better place. Education made me what I am today. Empower yourselves through reading books,” he said.

Chief Makwarela Makhuvha thanked the government for having thought of his community. “We are a developmental community and it is only through education that we could better the area we are living in. We are very rural with employment prospects almost nonexistent, but with educa-tion this will change,” he said.

‘100% Makhado’ members face violence chargesThe Thohoyandou Magistrate' Court was filled to capacity on Monday, during the court appearance of three community leaders allegedly linked to the recent violent protests in Vuwani.

Arnold Mulaudzi, Nsovo Sambo and Khathutshelo Tshidumo, who are the latest to be arrested, had their bail appli-cation postponed to Friday (today). They are associated with the Pro-Makhado Task team. The three looked relaxed during their appearance, with Tshidumo and Mulaudzi wearing shirts with the words 100% Makhado printed on them.

The state asked for bail information and also time to profile the suspects.

The trio was arrested last week on charges of public violence, malicious damage to property and incitement. They first appeared in the same court last Friday. The latest arrests bring the total to more than 30 suspects arrested in connection with the volatile situation in Vuwani, where residents are protesting against their area's being merged with Malamulele to form a new municipality in Vhembe.

Relatives and sympathisers of the

suspects could be seen as being visibly angered by the decision of the court in postponing the bail application. Equally disappointed was the defence attorney, Mr Thomas Mathobo of NT Mathobo Attorneys. “This is a delaying tactic on the part of the State and it is impacting negatively on my clients. Profiling could be done here in court,” he said.

Meanwhile, more than 50 000 pupils are still in the limbo, with no active schooling taking place in the area. More than 2 000 Grade 12 pupils have not writ-ten their half-year examinations.

A group of men who participated in the showering of Tendani Thidiela.

Proper pre-matrimonial advice can prevent divorceA team of men recently visited the Thidiela family as part of giving advice to Mr Tendani Thidiela, who will soon get married.

The kind of advice and knowledge giv-en to Thidiela will be useful to all young men who want to get married, so that they are well equipped with etiquette related to

marriage life.“We want to avoid and prevent mar-

riages that do not last long because the newlyweds have not been given proper advice,” said the director of Munna Ndi Nnyi, Mr Bardwell Mufunwaini.

Mufunwaini told Thidiela that women needed to be respected and given the nec-

essary attention at all times. “If your wife does something wrong and you try to solve the problem, but the misunderstanding still continues, do not go and tell your parents that your wife is misbehaving because they will hate her,” he said.

A health expert, Mr Robert Ne-makhavhani, spoke at length about personal hygiene and said that it was one of the backbones of a healthy lifestyle within marriage and social life. “Every woman would wish for her husband to be presentable and clean at all times,” he said. “A man must properly look after his body and make sure that he eats healthy foods.”

Pastor Samuel Mulaudzi spoke about financial management in married life and advised that money should not be a bone of contention in relationships. “I have heard them say that no woman must know what her husband's salary is, but if you love your wife enough, you will hide nothing from her,” he said. Rev Thomas Liremi said that the backbone of a healthy marriage was the fear of God. “You must invite God into your relationship,” he said. “Without God, marriages hardly go somewhere.”

Thidiela thanked all the men who attended the event, and said that he had gained knowledge that was indispensable to any young man.

“It was frank advice and conversation that I felt hit home because they didn't hold anything back,” he said. “I welcome and recommend this type of session for anyone looking to get married or re-focus their marriage.”

“We are serious about service delivery”During the previous financial years, excellent work had been done in areas such as provision of water, sanitation, refuse removal, housing and electricity, said the mayor of Musina, Cllr Mihloti Muhlope, when she delivered her State-of-the-Municipality Address (budget speech) at the New Nancefield Community Hall last Friday.

“The fact the some of the 1 000 houses that have been allocated to us by the provincial government have been completed, clearly demonstrates that we are serious about service delivery. We have forwarded all documentation to the Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, whereafter the qualifying beneficiaries will be contacted for housing alloca-tion,” she said.

According to Muhlope, 2 634 indigent house-holds in the urban areas of Musina receive free basic water from the municipality, while 4 692 households from the villages also benefit from free water provision. “While a few settlements in the country are still struggling to eradicate the bucket system, it gives me pleasure to proudly announce that we don’t have a bucket system in Musina.”

She said the construction of the R320 million Musina Mall and the establishment of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) was to make prospective investors aware of the fact that there was potential for economic growth in Musina. “The initiative will transform our town into a top investment destina-tion that will attract businesses and foreign direct investment while, at the same time, accelerating industrial development and realizing the country’s industrial action plan and the new growth path. As a logistic hub, the SEZ will create thousands of job opportunities to our people while unlocking many opportunities that were non-existent before.”

According to her, the municipality has complet-ed several projects, which include the Nancefield community high-mast lighting at a cost of R1,5 million. “We have also renovated the community hall in Nancefield Ext 1 at a cost of R2,5 million.

She also thanked De Beers Venetia Mine and Vele Colliery for implementing social projects aimed at improving the lives of the people of Musina.

Netshituka case may change the law regulating traditional marriages

The Why Not Centre in Thohoyandou is in the midst of a legal battle that may change legislation affecting the rights of wives in traditional polygamous marriages to the estates of their late husbands.

A very interesting case high-lighting the plight of women married in polygamous cus-tomary marriages was heard in the Thohoyandou Court last week. The outcome of the case may affect the legal status of thousands of women married before December 1988.

The “Netshituka”-case is well-known in legal circles and it caused a ripple effect when judgment was passed down in the Supreme Court of Appeal in 2011. The latest case is another episode in this epic battle and may have even more far-reach-ing implications.

The background to the case is the five marriages of the late Masewa Joseph Netshituka. He had three customary wives, namely Tshinakaho, Masindi and Diana. He then married another woman, Martha, but this was a civil marriage.

Prior to the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act (Act 120 of 1998), spouses in a customary “union” were not re-garded as being legally married. Should the husband opt to marry another wife in a civil marriage, the previous unions were auto-matically dissolved. The wife to such a customary union was known as a “discarded spouse”. In the case of Joseph Netshituka he was, according to the law, divorced from his previous spouses.

In 1984, Mr Netshituka di-vorced Martha. From what could be established, he continued liv-ing with his three former wives.

On 17 January 1997, he en-tered into another civil marriage with a woman named Joyce. Mr Netshituka died in 2008, leaving a will in which he appointed Joyce as executor of his estate. The estate included several as-sets, such as the Why Not Centre in Thohoyandou, currently val-ued at more than R10 million.

Following his death, one of his customary wives and her daughter took the matter to court, arguing that the marriage to Joyce was not legal and also that Joseph Netshituka had not been in a sound state of mind when he had compiled his last will and testament.

The legislation that was passed and the dates on which it became effective is very im-portant in the Netshituka case.

The Recognition of Customary Marriages Act repealed other acts, such as the Matrimonial Property Law Amendment Act (Act 3 of 1988) and the Black Administration Act of 1927. It was retrospective until 2 Decem-ber 1988, meaning that all mar-riages concluded after that date were on put on par with each other. A “customary union” was also not automatically dissolved by the civil marriage.

In Netshituka’s case, it was argued that the first marriage with Martha had occurred prior to 1988 and thus effectively dissolved the previous marriag-es. He thus did not contravene the Matrimonial Property Law Amendment Act 3 of 1988, which made it illegal for some-one in a customary union to contract a civil marriage with another woman.

The High Court agreed with this point of view, but the deci-sion was overturned in 2011 by the Supreme Court of Appeal. The Supreme Court put a lot of emphasis on the fact that he had continued cohabiting with his customary marriage wives, thus showing his reconciliation with them. The court held the view that he was still married to his customary-law wives and was thus not competent to enter into a civil marriage with Joyce.

The Supreme Court also ruled in as far as his competency to compile his last will and testa-ment was concerned. The court found that the will was valid, leaving Joyce as his beneficiary.

The Supreme Court’s ruling was widely criticised because of the legal quagmire it had created, especially as far as the property rights of the women were concerned. A senior lectur-er in the Department of Private Law at the University of Preto-ria, Mariana Buchner-Eveleigh, wrote in an article in De Jure: “The Supreme Court of Appeal has with the resurrection of cus-tomary marriage wives released on us an arcane mystery void of legal certainty.”

The latest battle in the courts may provide some clarity on the status of customary-marriage wives. Matodzi Ramuhovhi (born Netshituka) and Thi-namaano Edson Netshituka are the applicants in the case, with the respondents including

the SA president, the Minister of Justice, Munyadziwa Joyce Netshituka, and the estate of the late Masewa Joseph Netshituka.

According to the legal rep-resentative of the applicants, Mr SO Ravele, they seek a declaration that Section 7(1) of the Recognition of Customary Marriages is inconsistent with the country’s constitution. His clients seek a declaration that a polygamous marriage entered into before the Recognition Act produces legal consequences of a marriage in community of property, effectively giving them the right to claim against the estate of their late husband.

In the court papers, the appli-cants state that Mr Netshituka’s last wife, Joyce, had inherited most of the properties but failed to look after his customary wives. “(S)he had (an) obliga-tion to support the deceased’s family (but) failed to do so and continued to enjoy (the) good life while the deceased’s family is suffering,” the affidavit reads.

In their Heads of Argument, the respondents state that Joyce Netshituka also entered into a customary marriage with her late husband.

Their legal representatives argue that all these customary marriages were considered by law to be out of community of property. They argue that, should the court now opt to see all such marriages as being in community of property, it would lead to “a vista of litigation and disputes and no certainty in law for thousands if not millions of South African citizens.”

Mrs Joyce Netshituka argued previously that the properties were purchased with her assis-tance and financial means. She does not believe that the rights accrued to her fall within the alleged joint estate of the cus-tomary wives.

The Women’s Legal Centre Trust was admitted as an Amic-us Curiae (impartial advisor to the court) in the case and also made a submission. The Cen-tre limited their submission to Section 7(1) of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, ar-guing that it should be declared invalid, because it breaches the Constitution.

Judgment was reserved in the case.

Two men in court on theft chargesTwo men from Louis Trichardt are to stand trial on charges of theft for allegedly stealing from M Premjee & Sons.

Hussain Mohammed (31) and Ravi Mohammed (29) appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court on Monday. They were charged in January this year, fol-lowing their arrest. The charges of theft against them relate to

allegations that they had stolen a little more than R10 000’s worth of merchandise from Premjee.

The two men apparently had an arrangement with another business owner to sell him the stolen merchandise for a cash fee.

Both were caught when Prem-jee took a closer look at security footage after a trolley of goods had gone missing in January

this year.During Monday’s court ap-

pearance, the State indicated that the two accused decided to go on trial because they did not agree with all the allegations contained in the theft charges against them.

For this reason, the two men’s case was postponed until 25 July, when their case is expected to continue.

The Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror proved their worth during the past weekend's FCJ Local Media Excellence Awards. Pictured with the awards the newspapers won are, from left to right, Wikus Lee (editor, Limpopo Mirror), Tshifihiwa Mukwevho (correspondent Limpopo Mirror), Andries van Zyl (news editor Zoutpansberger) and Isabel Venter (journalist).

The Zoutnet group of newspa-pers, the Zoutpansberger and her sister publication, the Lim-popo Mirror, showed once again that they can hold their own against the best the community and local press industry has to offer in South Africa.

The Zoutpansberger per-formed very well and won two of the top trophies during the Local Media Excellence Awards, hosted by the Forum for Com-munity Journalists (FCJ). One of their journalists, Isabel Venter, also managed to win a first place in the category Best Hard News Photograph.

Last Friday saw the first ever FCJ Local Media Excellence Awards taking place at the Leriba Hotel & Day Spa in Centurion. The awards have previously been hosted with Sanlam and the MDDA as the main sponsor and organizer of the event. Sanlam withdrew from the competition last year, however, which led to

the FCJ themselves hosting the awards this year. For the past 25 years the competition has been presented under the auspices of the FCJ with the aim to recognise excellence in community media, small commercial (print) and local media owned by the main-stream media (print).

Receiving over 800 entries this year (newspapers, writing and photographs combined), the judging panel was pleased with the remarkable increase in print entries, saying: “The local media is clearly at the forefront of informing [and entertaining] the communities they serve. In fact, print media is far from dying when one looks at the local media newspapers. On the contrary, it is alive and kicking.”

In the newspaper category, the Zoutpansberger did exception-ally well and was announced as the Best Independent Commer-cial Newspaper (older than five years). The newspaper also took

top honours in the catego-ry Best Front Pages, with the Limpopo Mir-ror taking sec-ond place in the same category.

The Zout -pansberger’s news editor, Andries van Zyl, managed to secure a top-10 finish in the highly contest-ed Journalist of the Year cate-gory. (He took top honours in this category the previous y e a r ) . T h e overall winner in this catego-ry was Jana Boshoff from the Midde l -burg Observer.

Apart from this, Andries also impressed in the categories for Human Interest and Sport News, boasting a top-10 finish in both.

Andries’ colleague, Isabel, apart from her first place win with a news photograph showing a truck driver working hand-in-hand with local firemen, also took second place in the category for Best Feature Photographs. Another news photo of hers won an eighth place, while fellow journalist and photographer from the Limpopo Mirror Elmon Tshi-khudo won a fourth place in the same category.

In the other photography cate-gories, Isabel managed to win a fourth place in the category for Best Portrait Photographs and a ninth place in the category for Best Sport Photographs. In the writing categories, Isabel also managed to take two top-10 finishes in the category for both Hard and Sport News.

Another fellow writer and correspondent for the Limpopo Mirror, Tshifhiwa Mukwevho, scooped up a top-10 finish in the category for Hard News.

“The awards are recognition of the hard work, often under diffi-cult circumstances, of the team we have at the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror,” says Anton van Zyl, manager of Zoutnet and publisher of the two newspapers. “We have always placed a high premium on editorial content. In an era where people consume content via a variety of sources, it is important to focus on quality and be a trusted source of infor-mation,” he says. According to Anton, this is what distinguishes a newspaper that cares about the community it serves from the ones merely there to rake in advertising revenue. “The jour-nalists need to do more than just collect news material. They need to interpret and select, but most of all be sensitive to the needs of this specific community,” he says.

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho

“I remember you, former president Mandela” is the meaning of the title of the newly released album of Venda classic rhumba musician Muzondwa “Gearbox” Salani.

Salani (47), from Muhuyu outside Thohoyan-dou, is a soldier during offi ce hours at 15 SAI Battalion, but after work he is an artist. The new CD is called Ndo vha humbula Vho-Mandela and comprises six tracks.

According to Salani, in the title track, Ndo vha humbula, he commemorates the late Nelson Mandela and compares the time when he was still alive with the current situation. His observation is that members of the ANC no longer respect each other. “Even in parliament different politi-

cal organizations are always fi ghting during the parliamentary debates. The parliament turned into a fi ghting zone, quite the opposite from when the late president was still alive.” On the track Tshikolodo, meaning ‘credit’ in English, Salani says he is referring to the credit of death, and he wants to remind people that they must know that they have an appointment with death one day. On the track Vho nwamabasa he is singing about his mother. He says that she was a traditional healer who helped to cure diseases

All songs were composed by Muzondwa Salani and was recorded at Volcano Studio. For bookings people can contact him at 072 2096 539.

A singer from Nzhelele, Am-bani Mukwevho, popularly known as the Queen of House, recently released her second album, called Reveal.

Ambani (26) told Limpopo Mirror that she began her music career in 2007.

“I started to sing disco music and hip-hop after realising that I had a singing talent. I used to sing at school and in church choirs. Singing in these places ignited my passion for music,” she added.

The album has 13 exciting tracks. Some of the songs that are already popular are This is how, It’s possible, China, Talk about let it rain, Marry me (re-

mix) and Say goodbye (remix). Tracks such as It’s possible and Let it rain are at the moment dominating airplay in Limpopo and Gauteng province. When asked why the album was named Reveal, she said that it revealed things behind closed doors.

Two of her songs that went multi-platinum across Africa, Marry me and Say goodbye, were given huge feedback in Africa and were called to be remixed by radio station pre-senters, international DJs and a large number of fans around Africa. “Presenters have been requesting me to sing the songs live on air,” she said.

The singer also added that the

album was doing very well in the market.

“Every song on this album is a hit, depending on the style of music you enjoy listening to. The album has just gone world-wide and has been published by the biggest publishing company in Africa, Sheer Publishing, that has huge artists on board such as Casper Nyovest, Lira, Mandoza, and many more,” she said.

The album is already availa-ble on Itunes. The hard copies are under strict distribution on www.kcp4.co.za. People can make a special order, due to the high demand. For bookings, contact www.kcp4.co.za /mo-bile 082 5003 988.


Some 30 years ago, a small boy would sit by the riverside and admire the beauty of na-ture, from the green valleys to the chirping of birds and cooing of doves. Little did he know that this love of nature would stay with him for the most of his life.

The 40-year-old resident of Makonde village, Mr Norman Netshilongwe, has earned the respect of his fellow residents because of his talent as a pho-tographer. “I photograph peo-ple for a living and I enjoy my work,” he said. “People like my photographs and they respect me for the work I render for them.”

He told Limpopo Mirror that he had developed a love for photography from as early as the age of 15. But then he didn’t own a camera of his own. “I used to look at mountains and rivers with the eyes of a photographer,” he said.

At some point he decided to raise some money for his fi rst small camera. He did odd jobs such as cleaning and mowing lawns in people’s yards. He

fi nally managed to get a camera and taught himself to operate it.

“I started by taking pictures of people for a fee,” he re-membered. “But one day I just found myself in the riverside, taking pictures of turtles, birds, monkeys and baboons. They were so beautiful, but I lost most of those pictures because they were in hard copy.”

Even today, Netshilongwe’s challenge remains the lack of a computer on which he can save his data instead of just printing his pictures and fi nally lose the soft copies because he cannot store them. He explained that he loved taking pictures of animals, mountains and valleys.

“My photography is inspired by rural life,” he said. “I take pictures of people with donkeys in yokes, ploughing the fi elds.”

Netshilongwe had a photo-graphic collection of moun-tains, wells and springs. He had travelled as far afield as Mokopane to capture amazing mountain scenery. “I don’t own any big cameras and lenses,” he said. “In order for me to take pictures of animals, I had to

sneak into the bushes and wait for that opportunity when the animals would be playing or breastfeeding.”

He is proud of two photo-graphs in particular, one of a monkey breastfeeding her baby, and another of two baboons sitting in ‘kappa’ style.

His biggest challenge is a lack of photographic equip-ment. “Not having proper equipment to develop my ca-reer is stressful to me,” he said. “Imagine someone with this great ambition like me, having to spend his life stuck in the streets of villages. My life is in the wilderness where I feel at ease with nature, taking pictures of animals, mountains and springs. I am not seeking donations from people. If you can offer me a job, I will work harder, save some money and get proper photographic equip-ment for me to really kickstart my career.”

Netshilongwe dreams to have his future pictures in interna-tional geographic publications. He can be contacted on 073 604 9989.

Gifted Vhulenda in top 15 of Miss Mini RSA pageantYoung Vhulenda Mashila is not just an ordinary village girl but a gifted and talented girl with beauty as another feather in her cap.

At the tender age of 12, the Grade 7 pupil of Tshiwedza Primary School in Lwamondo-Lukau has already set her eyes on a modelling career and laid the foundation for it.

She is a product of the Kingstar Modelling Agency, the brainchild of Shumani Khangale. She is now in the top 15 of the Mini Miss RSA beauty competition and her target is winning one of the categories and representing the country internationally.

The finals of the competition will be held in October 2016.

Mashila’s modelling exploits start-ed at school last year when she en-tered the I love My Community Beauty Pageant. “I took the honours at school and became Miss Tshiwedza Primary School 2015, and later my parents took me to the agency in Sibasa where I learnt the ropes under the watchful eye of instructor Shumani Khangale. I became the best at the agency and can assure this district that I will make them proud by winning this competition.”

She added that Khangale taught her the different aspects of the trade and that she was confident that she would be able to face the best in the indus-try. Her proud mother, Ms Tshililo Mathomu, said that she had every hope that her daughter would win the title. “Vhulenda is talented and she has a big chance of winning the competition. We are giving her all the

support she needs and we are making an appeal to the whole of Vhembe to vote for her in the public choice.”

Her tutor, Shumani Khangale, said she was a gem that any agency would be proud to have. “She is the best ever in our agency and she is comfortable with whatever we ask her to do and we are very confident she will make it and represent our country abroad,” he said.

Khangale urged all the residents of Vhembe to rally around her and to give her the necessary support. To vote for her, go to her Facebook page, Mashila Vhulenda.

Pastors and other stakeholders who attended the prayer meeting at the Calvary Church.

‘King Toni and Zuma hold the key to Vuwani peace’Pastors and different stakeholders from around Vhembe, who are con-cerned about the volatile situation in Vuwani, were told that only Pres Zuma and King Toni Mphephu could bring peace in the area.

This was during a recent weekend prayer meeting for peace in the Vuwani area, where more than 20 schools and other properties were recently burnt down in a short space of time. The prayer service was organized by pastors under the auspices of the Vhembe Pastor’s Fo-rum and took place at Calvary Christian Church, Lwamondo.

The prayer service was a follow-up to a first one held at Mashau village, one of the worst-affected areas where the people were protesting against the move to be included in a new municipality that will merge their area with Malamulele.

One of the coordinators of the session, Dr Alunamutwe Randitsheni, said they were touched as religious leaders by the situation at Vuwani, where life and schooling had come to a complete halt. “We felt we should not sit down and pretend that nothing is happening. We are concerned about the situation there, and what is of more worry to us is the future of our children who are caught in the crossfire. They are lagging behind and it will be a miracle if they get good results this year.”

He added that they wanted to ask God to normalize the situation and that people go back to their normal lives. “We be-lieve God is the ultimate power that could bring solutions where men failed and it is our belief that God will intervene,” he said. Randitsheni further indicated that, since the last service, they had witnessed

God’s grace at work with the burning of properties coming to a complete halt.

Speaking during the service, Sadtu Limpopo provincial chairperson Ronnie Moroatshehla said faith without actions would be a futile exercise with no fruits. He advised pastors to try other strategies like involving the king of the Vhavenda to get a solution. “King Toni Mphephu has a direct line with the president of the country. If pastors could make rep-resentations to the king and they together make an appointment with the president, this impasse could be resolved as soon as yesterday,” he said.

The head of the Department of Educa-tion in Vhembe, Dr Gerson Rambiyana, said more than 42 000 learners were negatively affected and if the situation was not resolved urgently, there would be a disaster.

“Hlulani” murder and kidnap case postponed again

Pro-Makhado members disrupt communications meeting

The case in which a well-known traffi c offi cer has been charged with murder and the kidnapping of a child was postponed to July 14, awaiting a decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Masingita Chavani (45), along with Steven Sithole (22), recently appeared in the Saselamani Peri-odical Court. Magistrate Daniel Maluleke postponed the case and the two remain in custody.

Chavani and Sithole are accused of killing the 17-year-old Hlulani Maswanganyi. She and her one-month-old boy were allegedly abducted on 1 October last year. After her abduction, baby Timothy Xikahle Mbavala was found with Chavani. She had allegedly taken the baby as hers, after applying for leave at her place of work at Mala-mulele, stating that she was going to give birth.

Sithole has allegedly confessed to killing Hlulani and pointed out a spot near Mulonga in the Levubu River where he said he and Chavani had killed the woman.

Blood samples were taken at the

spot and DNA results allegedly indicate that it was the blood of Hlulani.

Sithole had allegedly pointed out another area near the Nandoni Dam where he said the body had been dumped. A badly decomposed body was later found in the area, but DNA results have shown that it was the body of a boy.

Chavani also appeared separately on a charge of car theft in relation to the car used to allegedly kidnap Hlulani and her child. The case was also postponed to July 14 for the DPP’s decision.

The community of Xikundu in the Malamulele area demonstrated outside the court, demanding that the accused tell them where the body of the 17-year-old moth-er could be found. Community spokesperson Denis Chabane said the community would continue to support the family. Hlulani’s mother was not in court. Her elder sister, Bertha Chavani, said her mother had been so affected by her daughter’s death that she could not come to court.

Community members who are sup-porting the proposed new municipality that will include Malamulele, Vuwani, Bungeni and other areas disrupted the Vhembe District’s Communicators Conference on Tuesday morning.

The event took place in the Njhakanjha-ka Community Hall and was disrupted by a handful of women, led by a few men, some of them wearing ANC T-shirts. The group, who were speaking Xitsonga, surprised communicators from different departments in Vhembe and journalists when they started challenging the wel-come remarks of Makhado Municipality’s spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi.

One of the people who started the unusual challenge was a middle-aged man, who stood up and urged that “it is wrong for the man to tell us that we are in Makhado Local Municipality, as we are now in Malamulele.” This happened after Bobodi, who was speaking on behalf of Makhado Mayor Cllr David Mutavhatsin-di, said he was welcoming everyone in the

Photographed during a previous court appearance: Traffi c offi cer Masingita Chavani and her co-accused, Steven Sithole, are escorted outside the court by the police.

Makhado Local Municipality.Matodzi Ralushai, the Vhembe spokes-

person, who was also the master of cere-monies, tried to explain that the area will be under the Makhado Local Municipality until 3 August. Ralushai’s remarks were followed by counter-arguments, where the group continued arguing one by one that they were not going to allow the meeting to continue until Bobodi had withdrawn his statement of referring to their municipality as Makhado.

The group, who were expressing their views in Xitsonga while their supporters were whistling and shouting, said they would not allow a situation where “people continue to refer to Malamulele Munici-pality” as Makhado while the government had already pronounced that there was a new municipality. The group also said they were not prepared to be addressed “by people who are opposing the new municipality.”

They also said they were not happy that the cover page of the Vhembe District

Municipality’s official newsletter had “the picture of traditional leaders who are opposing the new municipality. We don’t want these guys. Why did you bring these guys to us? For you to come here and giving us papers with these guys’ faces, you are undermining us,” said another pro-testor, followed by shouting and praising from the cheering crowd.

Following deliberations between Ralushai, Mr Wilson Dzebu of the Musina Local Municipality and Mr Moses Shi-vambu,Vhembe District Municipality’s Media Liaison Offi cer, tried to address the crowd but with no success. The meeting was later called off.

Ralushai said he was disappointed that the meeting had been cancelled because of disruptions.

“We strongly condemn the incident. We still promote social cohesion as it has been in our programme where we were going to encourage the two groups, pro-Makhado and pro-Malamulele, to work together,” said Ralushai.

One of the opposing members makes his point.

Capricorn FM donated stationery to Mathule Primary School in Vuwani.

By Silas Nduvheni

Capricorn FM gives a helping handPupils at Mathule Primary School in the Vuwani area, one of the schools that was recently set alight during violent protests, are getting some help, thanks to Capri-corn FM.

More than 20 schools in the area were burnt down and some were vandalized by com-munities protesting against the municipal demarcation board's decision to merge some Vuwani areas with the new municipality

Recently, Capricorn FM donated stationery to the val-

ue of R8 000 to 184 Vuwani scholars. The donation means these learners should have all the exercise books, pencils, ballpoint pens, chalk, board dusters and erasers they will need for their tuition.

Speaking during a ceremony to hand over the stationery to the school, Capricorn FM's marketing manager, Mr Ntsieni “Big Daddy” Ramabulana, said the volunteering tutors had dif-ficulties during tuition because the students were struggling to secure learning resources. “The

learning environment becomes difficult for children if they do not have the necessary material. The Vuwani students do not deserve to miss lessons because of the strike,” he said.

He said they needed all the assistance they could get to ensure that they were exposed to improved learning con-ditions. The chairperson of Vhaswaphanda “Youth First”, Mr Muhali Mudau, said that his organization would do its best to assist and motivate the troubled learners of Vuwani.

There is sewage everywhere.

Spilling sewage trouble at MhingavilleThe residents of Mhingaville, next to the Kruger National Park’s Pafuri gate, say they are tired of the spilling sewage that is making their lives a nightmare.

Ms Lucia Baloyi (45) says she has never had peace since she started living in the RDP area when it opened in 1996. “Since I started staying here, sewage has been spilling all over the yard. Sometimes it just overflows into the house.

If that happens, we have to abandon our houses and go to the houses that are not affected. The sad thing is that we still have to come the following day to clean up the mess with our own hands,” said Baloyi.

Baloyi says the issue has been

reported to ward councillors on many occasions, without success. Some people even abandoned their houses and left the area because of the spilling sewage.

Ms Lucy Maluleke (35) says she was told the problem was caused by the contractor who had installed the sewerage pipes. “We were told they had made a mistake with our line as this problem mostly affects more than 20 stands of the same row,” said Maluleke.

Mr Phanuel Baloyi (37) says they have now made a trench, so that the overflowing sewage can be directed out of their yards. “Some of us are now used to this bad smell. I even eat my food next to this sewage,” he says.

According to Ms Selina Sambo

(43), she cannot bear the smell. "I can’t sit outside the house because of this sewage. During the night, it is difficult to sleep as there are big mosquitoes. At first I thought I would die from malaria.

My main worry is children who play with this sewage. I am afraid what effect it is having on them. If I had an option, I would move from this place,” says Sambo.

The spokesperson for the Vhembe District Municipality, Matodzi Ralushai, said that their technical department would address the problem soon. “The municipality considers the sew-age challenge in a very serious light. We will give it high priority to avoid a health risk.”

The station manager, Mr Freddy Sadiki, said that the donation of the borehole to the community was part of the station’s way of giving back to the community as they had already donated in areas such as Ha-Mulima, Ha-Mashamba, Ha-Gumbu, Tanda and Ha-Radzilani.

“Recently, we had launched our new slogan Ri na nwi misi yothe, which means that we will always be with you in whatever you want,” he said. He further stated that the station’s slogan was to build good relationship with its audiences. He also praised the dedication that the business people and several stake-holders had shown to provide water to needy communities.

Cllr Mr John Mamafha of Ward 35 of the Makhado Municipality acknowledged the good work that the station is doing for its listeners. He further said that the municipality was currently facing the issue of empty dams. “Recently, water has been a scarce resource in many South Afri-can communities, due to the drought. This community is privileged to

receive the borehole. The station has really done a great job in curbing the water issue in this community,” he added.

Ms Pretty Shandukani from Shandukani Holdings also expressed appreciation for the giving back to the community by the station. “As the drilling company, we heard people’s grievances and we promised to give them water and that this water will here forever. We deliver with pas-sion,” she said.

During the event, Chief Philemon Matsa could not hide his joy. “Today we have received a borehole, an important gift,” said the chief. He also advised the community members to use water sparingly. “Many commu-nities do not have water; let’s save this water for the future,” he said.

A pupil from Mulenga Secondary School, Thompho Mashavhela, said that she used to save money to buy water. “I didn’t use money to eat at school, so that I could buy water at home,” she said. The donation of the borehole is a great relief to her because now she will be able to use her money at school.

Residents have applauded the borehole donation as they have been struggling for water. During the event, sanitary pads were also donat-ed to pupils of Mulenga Secondary School.

Growing the district economy, job creation, fighting crime and corruption, as well as the provision of water, education, housing and health-care services will be some of the areas of focus during the State-of-the-District Address (SODA) of the executive mayor, Cllr Tshiter-eke Matibe, this morning.

He will deliver his address at the

Worship Tabernacle Christian Church (Mavambe Village) under Thulamela Local Municipality and the proceed-ings will start at 09:00.

“The mayor will be able to high-light some of the backlogs for the previous financial year and also provide the summary on progress regarding service-delivery issues. He will also use the opportunity to

look at the programme of action for the next financial year. Cllr Mat-ibe will be accompanied by all mayors of local municipalities,” said Mr Moss Shibambu, the media liaison officer for the Vhembe District Municipality.

He added that the budget for this finan-cial year was more than R1,4 billion and during the presentation of the Integrated Development Plan ( IDP) in various municipalities in the dis-trict, it was announced that R698 million had been set aside for water and sanitation projects.

The event will also be attended by Tiho-si /Mahosi , mayors, Chief Whips, Speakers, councillors, ward com-mittees, the business fraternity, church lead-ers, sector departments, civic structures, CDWs, CBOs and various other community structures.

Florence Radzilani again Vhembe’s executive mayorThe former executive mayor of the Vhembe District Municipality, Ms Florence Radzilani, is tipped to get into that hot seat once more after the local government elections to be held on 3 August.

This was confirmed by the general secretary of the ANC, Mr Gwede Mantashe, on Saturday evening. In his address where he announced mayoral candidates for the party across the county, Mantashe only announced the name of Radzilani as candidate for the ANC in Vhembe and Ms Mi-hlodi Muhlophe as candidate for the Musina Local Municipality.

The names of the candidates for Thulamela, Makhado and the new entity that includes areas of Malam-ulele and Vuwani were not revealed.

When approached for comment, a very calm Radzilani said she felt honored to be trusted with the re-sponsibility by her party from local branches, regional, provincial and national office. “As a person who was in this position before, I did not expect this honour. But ANC deployments are processed somewhere. So, I could not have any hope, as that might be suicidal. I also think it is important to stress that it is rare for a person to go back to a position like this,” said Radzilani, current chairperson of

ANC Woman's League in Vhembe.When asked how she coped being

unemployed since May 2014 after being removed from her position as MEC by Premier Stanley Mathabatha, Radzilani said that “as a child of God, one had to appreciate the life given to me.”

She stated that she joined the ANC voluntarily. "When we joined the ANC, we were never promised deployment. The ANC expects us to work for the people as members besides leadership positions we might have."Meanwhile, one senior ANC member in Vhembe who chose to remain annonymous said Radzilani's candidacy was good news. “As dis-ciplined members of the ANC, we welcome this decision. Even in our branches the situation is stable.

We ex-pect ev-ery ANC member to work hard in making sure that w e w i n t h e u p -c o m i n g elections,” the mem-ber said.

Little book tells more aboutregion’s biggest trees

Police warn against abductions to initiation schools

Baobabs are such an integral part of Limpopo, but how many people really know all the secrets that they hold?

Local baobab patron Dr Sarah Venter this week released an info booklet, entitled The Little Big Bao-bab Book. This small book is packed with information about province’s most famous giants, sometimes also called the ‘upside-down tree.’

In the preface, Sarah explains that she was inspired by her PhD research on baobab trees. “I felt that the research that appears in scientific papers and theses is not available to most people, especially to the VhaVenda people whose lives are so closely linked to the baobab trees of South Africa,” writes Sarah. “It is my hope that everyone will learn what a valuable tree the baobab is and be motivated to become a cus-todian of this magnificent species,” she adds.

EcoProducts, Sarah’s company, has played an enormous role over the past decade in ensuring that the global trade in baobab powder and oil has bettered the lives of the VhaVenda, from whom she sources her product. Over the years, Sarah has also worked towards establish-ing baobab fruit powder – Africa’s super fruit. She strips the baobab powder (which is also sold) and ex-tracts the oil from the seeds, which is especially popular in overseas cosmetic products.

These are just some of the in-

teresting facts that can be found in The Little Big Baobab Book. It also contains details about the use of the various parts of the baobab tree (leaves, bark and wood), as well as the uses of the baobab in traditional healing practices. For those interest-ed in growing their own baobab tree, there are helpful tips that Sarah has collected during the years.

Locally, this little book can be bought for only R50 from Noorde Wapens, The Farm Stall at the Av-oca Vale Hotel and Leigh-A. Most of the proceeds will go towards the Eco Products Foundation that is aimed at promoting an awareness of baobab ecology and the long-term conservation of the trees.

Sarah can also be contacted for more information at Tel 082 374 9534 or by writing her an email at [email protected].

The police have warned that people who forcefully abduct boys to initiation schools will face kidnapping charges. The initiation season started in the province a fortnight ago.

It was announced that the House of Traditional Leaders has received 376 applications for permits for initiation schools, and 325 were approved and 51 were turned down. Last year, 198 appli-cations were approved and three young men reportedly died in initiation schools in Limpopo. Police spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe says parents should take full re-sponsibility for the safety of their children. According to him, the police are appealing to all members of the community to co-operate with them throughout the entire initiation-school season. “We are also to ensure that there will be no child who will be taken by force and without the permis-sion of the parents to the initiation schools. Members of the communi-ty are once more advised to report to the local police station immediate-ly if their children are taken forcefully to the school.”

He added that they would leave no stone unturned to make sure that this would be a crime-free initia-tion period.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Health Department said that it was performing circumcisions at clinics and hospitals for men who prefered not to go to traditional initiation schools.

The head of Limpopo’s House of Tra-ditional Leaders, Kgosi Malesela Dikgale, warned bogus circumcisers not to risk the lives of people as they were giving African culture a bad name. Dikgale said challenges facing the task team were the death of initiates, illegal circumcision schools, abduction of children to these schools, running initiation school with-out permits, the prolonged period of the schools, non-adherence to basic hygienic conditions and the charging of exorbitant fees by some circumcisers.

He said initiates should undergo thor-ough medical examinations. “No children under the age of 12 should be circumcised. There should be a close working relation-ship between traditional leaders and health institutions to deal with health-related challenges. Initiation schools should last for five weeks in order not to interfere with the academic programmes,” he said.

He said despite the existence of legis-lation, over the past few years the House of Traditional leaders has witnessed “the creeping in of negative tendencies that have served to undermine this positive practice. We will open criminal cases against traditional surgeons who don’t comply with our law of practicing safe circumcisions this season.”

Businessman Lukoto laid to restLocal pupils participate in creative performance festivalOne of the senior traditional lead-ers of the Vhavenda people, Tho-vhele Kennedy Tshivhase, said he was planning an engagement with the council management of the University of Venda to “recognize and honour with a doctorate” the good work done by the late, well-known businessman Mr Nehemia Lukoto.

“We want to honour the good work done by this man of excellence and jack of all trades and master of all, the late Nehemia Lukoto. Thovhele Nthumeni Masia and I are part of the University of Venda’s council members and we are plan-ning to have an engagement with other members, so that this great businessman and community builder will be honoured,” said Tshivhase.

He was speaking to hundreds of people from all corners of the Vhem-be region on Saturday a fortnight ago at Zion City Apostolic Church in Phiphidi village outside Thohoy-andou during the funeral service of the late bus owner, Nehemia Lukoto.

According to Thovhele Tshivhase, Lukoto’s father was the first person to own buses that used to ferry commuters in and around the Tho-hoyandou and Mutale area, and after the death of his father in the 70s, Nehemia followed in his father’s footsteps.

Mr Lukoto (67), a member of the Zion City Apostolic Church and a well-known businessman from Ngovhela-Backside village near Sibasa, recently passed away after a short illness. Speaker after speaker described him as a man of

excellence.He was also member of a biker’s

club in the Vhembe region and during his funeral service, motor-cycles were riding in his honour from the church and to his final resting place at his home in Ngov-hela-Backside.

Family spokesperson Manasseh Lukoto said they had lost a care giver, not only for the family, but the entire Vhembe. “Nehemia started driving motor cars at the age of 15 and that was where he showed his ambitions and skills for designing motor cars and bikes. He also learned to fly an airplane. He was a self-styled engineer because, through his skills, he also repaired some broken buses and put them on the road again,” said Manasseh.

He said it was during his time that he steered the business of operating buses from five buses left when his father passed away to more than 60 buses, symbolising his business accumen.

Nehemia left his wife, Annah, and three children, Tshifhiwa, Masala and Patience.

The late Nehemia Lukoto (67).

To commemorate the 40th year after the events that led to Youth Day (16 June 1976), the Murongwe Enrichment Project NPC hosted a creative perfor-mance festival at Gilbert Nndanganeni Primary School in Khubvi Village.

The festival forms part of festivals that are hosted by Murongwe to commemorate important dates throughout the year. The interesting feature of these festivals is that performers are primary school pupils from the five primary schools at Khubvi.

In line with the objectives of the fes-tival, children are afforded a platform to express their creative talents in celebration of June 16.

One of the directors of Murongwe, Nndoweni Malala, reiterated their focus on societal development, starting with

children. “We have realized that children from

primary schools do not feature in the programmes of the government, hence we have taken it upon our shoulders to create a platform where these pupils can assemble and celebrate holidays through performances.”

At the day of the festival, the pro-gramme was held outdoors and learners performed tshikona and then proceeded to the hall where learners performed tshigombela, malende, domba, a stage drama, gumboot dances, rhumba dances, music and poetry.

Malala further indicated that, looking at the level of the performances, he was convinced that such a platform was vital for the learners to express their talent.

To further achieve the goal of bringing the significance of holidays closer to learn-ers, the event was supported by a team of Amplifying Community Voices of Student Association (ACVoSA ) from the Institute of Rural Development of the University of Venda. The student team provided motivation through drama, poetry and motivational talks to inspire learners to take gains of the fight that students fought for in 1976.

The event was made possible by the generous contribution by FHIMA Consul-tancy, catering for the learners, and Lufu-no Davhana. To ensure that learners arrive at the venue, given the vast distances of the schools from each other, Teles Driving School transported them to the event.

Bail for teacher and former councillorA Musina Secondary School teacher, Mr Theo-dore Maoka, a former Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) councillor in the Musina Municipality, Mr Eugene Khosa, and an immigration officer, Mr Edward Tshivhase, appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court a fortnight ago on charges of corruption and defeating the ends of justice. They were given bail, but with strict conditions being set.

The three were arrested, along with 12 other suspects, on 26 May by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation. Eleven of the suspects were released on R3 000 bail when they appeared in court on 27 May.

A suspected illegal immigrant, Philip Molea, was denied bail. Molea is suspected of being an illegal immigrant who uses false names. He was denied bail, pending the verification of his citizenship.

It is alleged that Maoka received R2 000 for attaching temporary resident permits to passports and also applying entry and departure stamps on 21 passports without any documentation supporting

the foreign nationals’ stay in the country.Khoza, who owns a clearing agency at Beit

Bridge and has a pending corruption charge against him, is accused of accepting R7 200 for issuing false immigration stamps to foreign nationals.

As part of their bail conditions, all the suspects were barred from attending their work places at the border post. They will appear in court again between 27 June and 4 July for trial.

Madzuwa access road and bridge openedIt was a day of excitement for the Vhulaudzi Tshitavha community outside Louis Trichardt, when they recently attended the opening of the Madzuwa access road and bridge.

A local MP, Mr Moses Tseli, was among the invited guests who attended the main event, held at the Vhulaudzi Com-munity Hall. The new access road and bridge formed part of the projects approved by the Makhado municipal council

for the 2015/16 financial year. After months of hard work, the new access road and bridge are now helping to ease travelling for the residents.

The access road and bridge were officially opened by the MEC for the Department of Public Works and Infrastruc-ture, Mr Jerry Ndou. He said that the government cared about the people and said that the people must appreciate what the government was doing for them.

A traditional leader, Chief

Zwokundavhalala Radzilani, expressed his excitement af-ter the official opening of the bridge. He said that his people would no longer struggle to cross the river. “It was very difficult to cross the river during rainy seasons and now travelling will be easy,” said Radzilani.

“Stop vandalising state property” - actor

Former Vhembe Cope chairperson joins DA

The tendency to vandalize government prop-erty such as school buildings, clinics and state-owned vehicles was severely criticized by a well-known local TV actor, Mr Gabriel Temudzani.

He was one of the speakers during the hand-ing-over of school uniforms to about 100 pupils from four Tsianda primary schools during a ceremony at the Mutangwa Manungu Primary School last Saturday.

Temudzani, who plays Vhafuwi vha Thathe in the Tshivenda SABC 2 soapie, Muvhango, appealed to the residents to expose the people who vandalize government property in the name of exercising their democratic rights. During the ceremony, the pupils from Mutangwa Manugu, Mafharalala, Mboswobeni and Tshifhande re-ceived school uniforms from the Mighty Tsianda

The former chairperson of the Congress of the People (Cope) in Vhembe, Geoffrey Tshibvu-mo, resigned from Cope to join the Democratic Alliance.

Speaking to Limpopo Mirror, the chairperson of the DA in the province, Jacques Smalle, wel-comed Tshibvumo in their midst. He said Tshibvumo had left Cope some two months ago. “What we can confirm is that Tshibvumo is a good and democratic leader,” said Smalle

“We are looking forward to recruiting more new members,” he said.

According to Smalle, the DA is gaining momentum in the prov-ince. “We are not only targeting

high-profile people, we also want ordinary people. I believe that we are on the right track,” he said. Smalle said that the DA belonged to the people, not to individuals. “We believe in political morality. We are going to take over the government this year during the municipal elections and we will address the problem of poverty in the country,” he said.

Geoffrey Tshibvumo men-tioned that it was no easy deci-sion to make, but he felt that the current leadership of the ruling party did not respect veterans of the struggle against apartheid.

“The ANC is no longer an organisation worthy of people of the calibre of OR Tambo, Nelson

Mandela and Thabo Mbeki,” he said and accused the organisation of promoting a culture of anarchy and infighting.

Tshibvumo puts his trust in the DA and expressed the hope that the party will succeed in changing the lives of the peo-ple. He will stand in Ward 20 of the Makhado Municipality during the upcoming municipal elections.

“We live in a democratic coun-try and everybody is free to join the political party of their choice,” said the provincial leader of Cope, Patrick Sikhut-shi. He confirmed that they had received a resignation letter from Tshibvumo.

non-profit organiza-tion.

One of the found-er-members of the or-ganization, Mr Ken-nedy Mutavhatsindi, said that the event was the beginning of great things to come. He said that his organi-zation would continue to provide uniforms to needy pupils in future, adding that the number of pupils to be catered for would increase from time to time.

According to him they will start looking at high school learners from next year. He further stated that the best-performing pupils

in mathematics, physical science and accounting from Gwamasenga High would receive laptops from next year. When outlining the vision and mission of the organization, one of the found-er-members, Mr Phanuel Mathonsi, said that all the members of the board of directors were resi-dents of Tsianda who had obtained their primary education at Tsianda-based schools.

A local traditional leader, Thovhele Vho-Vham-belanimaanothavha Netsianda, praised the board members of the organization for their initiative.

Some of the guests who attended the ceremony included actors from Muvhango, Suzan Ravuku (Fheli), Elsie Rasalanavho (Vho-Mukondele-li), Kingsey Ramabulana (Vhangani), Sydney Ramakuwela (Mayor Mulalo Mukwevho) and Humbulani Tharana (Mulimisi).

Tshaulu Mighty Powerlines tame the Hungry LinesIn their Tshaulu derby at the Tshifudi Stadium on Sunday, Tshaulu Mighty Powerlines beat their neighbours, Tshaulu Hungry Lions, 2-0 to secure a place in the final of the Boy Nemakonde Soccer Challenge.

Powerlines’ victory did not come easily as the Lions managed to match them pound for pound in all departments from the onset. Pow-erlines’ killer striker, Ntshuxeko Simango, could not live up to the fans’ expectations as he was tightly marked. Realizing that he was well contained, Simango decided to aban-don his position and started to play as a midfielder-cum-striker. He made his presence felt in the 19th minute. He made no mistake, following a square pass from Ben Makeke.

Realizing that their scoring chances were slim, Hungry Lions strengthened their strik-ers by replacing Adam Khalushi with his broth-er, Khumbudzo Kha-lushi, in the 29th min-ute. They came close to scoring five minutes later . Maanda Net-shamahala received a neat pass from Vhonani Mbedzi within the box. Instead of unleashing, Netshamahala chose to share his luck with Mut-sho Muregu. He shot aimlessly from close range, however, and the ball went far wide.

Powerlines’ overlapping defender, Ntsiruweni Mbedzi, nearly found the net in the 39th minute. He forced his way through the defence of Hungry Lions and lost possession just before he could unleash. Powerlines enjoyed their 1-0 lead until the proceedings for the first half came to an end.

Hungry Lions did not throw in the towel, despite the fact that they conceded a second goal in the 57th minute. Simango completed his brace with a long-range ground cutter.

They continued to fight collectively from behind, putting pressure onto the opposition's defence. Isaac Sigidane of Hungry Lions missed a fortune in the 78th minute. He shot wide from inside the box.

Fun-filled Mamu youth festivities a huge successThe 2016 edition of Youth Day ac-tivities at Tshiozwi, organised by the Mamu Community Sport Develop-ment, was a successful event that lasted for three days.

On 16 June, the event started off with an U/15 race, where the girl and boy who won the respective races received a double bed each, courtesy of Muswobi

Building Construction and Design. The winners were Rolivhuwa Hobwane (15) from Tshiozwi village and Tshifhiwa Davhana (14) from Gogobole village.

There were more actities, such as gumboot dancing, Sarafina dancing, tshigombela, chess, and muravharavha. Entry was free to the children’s play-ground, and the kids enjoyed activities

such as the jumping castle, face painting and kiddies’ rides.

In the soccer category, Tshaulu Sports Academy beat Tshiozwi FC 3-1 in the U/15 clash. Muraleni United Brothers beat Madabani Zoutpansberg 3-2. Both winning teams were awarded floating trophies. Muraleni United Brothers were also named best disciplined and organ-

He scou ted the soccer talent of sev-en boys in the U/15 category and indicat-ed that he would put them in different youth development teams in Gauteng. The boys are Lutendo Buasi, Matume Mushangane, Tshifhiwa Maligudu, Lutendo Mabogo, Shudufhadzo Ra-mashia, Pfarelo Ma-dou and Fhatuwani Hlungwani. The teams are Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Super-Sport United, and Wits University. He indicat-ed that he would come back to scout for more soccer talent. “I would like to thank the or-ganisers of this youth event and all sponsors who continue to give support to the youth,” Sikhosana said.

The activities are organised annually by Mamu Community Sports Development and sponsored by busi-nesses such as Premjee & Son Cash and Carry, KFC, PostNet Makha-do, Talisman, Pow-erade, Collins Sebola Inc, Hyundai Louis Trichardt, Inspecta Car Louis Trichardt, Cash Build, Phadziri & Sons Bus Service, Muswobi Construc-tion, NTK, Wisani Baloyi Incorporated, Phuluso Ambulance, Denova, Ramazwi Security Service and Training, Leach Print-ers, Muduluni Build-ing Design & Con-struction, Tradepost 2076 CC, Ndou Cabs, Caterpack, Pfamoni Royal Retreat, Sho-mo Kamatha Trad-ing cc, Leyvian, To-tal Makhado, Afrox, Riashumisana Event Management, Selby Hair Salon, Holly-woodbets, ET Tshipo-ta Electrical, Makhado Municipality and Fire Fly Bakery.

Tshaulu and Brothers in Nemakone final

Third place in MTG games for Mudaswali United

Soccer lovers are expected to stream to the Tshifudi Stadium tomorrow afternoon for the much-awaited final of the Boy Nemakonde Soccer Challenge to take place. Munangwe United Brothers and Tshaulu Powerlines will meet in the final.

Powerlines’ way to the final went via Gunda Blue Birds, whom they brutally crushed 4-0 in the quarterfinals two weeks ago. They went further to beat Tshaulu Hungry Lions 2-0 in the semifinal stage at the same venue last Sunday. United Broth-ers beat Buluni Happy Boys 6-5 in their opening match before outsmarting Madandila Happy Boys 2-1 in the semifinal.

Judging from how both United Brothers and Powerelines performed in their semifinal matches last weekend, one can expect to watch a thriller to-morrow. It remains to be seen whether the defence of United Brothers will have the power to stop the Powerlines’ fast forwards, Ntshuxeko Simango and Rofhiwa Nekhavhambe. On the other hand, the Brothers’ goal poachers, Example Chauke, Robert Mbedzi and Rofunwa Musetsho, will keep Powerlines running for cover if they are not well

In their losers’ final of the MTG Soccer Tournament at the Makonde Home Defenders grounds last Thursday, Mu-daswali United Brothers beat Makonde Youth FC 4-3 to finish the tournament in third place.

United Brothers deserved to win from the first whistle, but their strikers showed no appetite for goals. Their left flank, Talifhani Mphaga, committed a blunder in the ninth minute. He received a neat pass from Fhatuwani Mbebana within the box and held onto the ball for far too long until he lost possession, much to the fans’ disappointment. Mphaga turned supplier three minutes thereafter when he dished a square pass to Ronewa Sadiki. Sadiki suffered the pain of watching his volley missing the target by inches.

That was a wake-up call to the de-fenders of Makonde Youth. They started to regroup from behind, creating some promising moves when they crossed the centre line. Makonde Youth came close to scoring in the 29th minute when Nduvho Raphulu’s ground cutter hit the woodwork and landed outside the field of play.

United Brothers were the first to find the target. Fhatuwani Mbebana beat the offside trap and sent the opposition keep-er, Maanda Tshibavhalemba, the wrong way. The keeper of United Brothers, Livhuwani Ntsieni, was warned with a card for handling the ball outside the pen-alty box. Makonde replaced Khathutshelo Matambila with Mpho Mudau in the 64th minute. Mulisa Mudau of Makonde Youth was booked for dangerous play on Mulalo Rasivhetshele four minutes later.

Makonde found the equalizer through a substitute, Mpho Mudau, who beat the keeper with a header after a corner kick that was taken by Mulisa Mudau. The

contained.The match will start at 14:30. The final will

be preceded by the losers’ final match between Madandila Happy Boys and Tshaulu Hungry Lions, which is scheduled to kick off at 11:00.

Tshaulu Powerlines are the defending cham-pions. This year’s champions will be presented with cash prize of R10 000, a floating trophy, gold medals, soccer kit and six soccer balls. The runners-up will take home a cash prize of R1 500, silver medals, soccer kit and six soccer balls. The third-placed side will receive R1 000, bronze med-als and six soccer balls.

Individual awards will be presented to the tour-nament’s top goal scorer, player of the tournament, best coach and the best keeper. They will each receive a cash prize of R1 000.

Magezi the ABC Motsepe national champs

Which Makhado LFA team will win the MTG/PIB?

After failing to make the grade in the national play-offs the past two seasons, Magezi FC are finally through to the National First Division League.

Magezi made history in the annual tournament by winning all the matches they played throughout the week. The matches were staged at two sta-dia, Dr P Molemela and Kaizer Sebothelo, in Bloemfontein.

The Polokwane side opened the tournament with a bang when they brutally walloped

Morester Jeug 4-0. Their sec-ond fixture was against Manco Milano from the Free State, whom they beat 1-0. They con-solidated their position on the log by beating JDR Stars from Gauteng 2-1.

After finishing on top of Stream B, Magezi played against the Stream A champi-ons, Kings United, on Sunday to determine the overall ABC Motsepe champions. The score was 1-1 at the end of the regu-lation time and the winner was determined through a penalty

shoot-out. Magezi converted all their five chances, while Kings United missed two.

As the overall champions, Magezi were presented with a cheque of R1 million and a trophy during a ceremony held at the stadium shortly after the final whistle. Kings United took home R500 000.

During the ceremony, the president of Safa, Mr Danny Jordan, confirmed that Magezi and Kings United had been promoted to the National First Division League.

Photographed with the winner’s trophy are, from left to right, Messrs Chippa Mathelumusa, Shudu Magwabeni (sponsor), Freddy Phathela and Simon Mashele of the MLF.

Four Makhado LFA teams will partic-ipate in the semifinals and final of the MTG PIB soccer tournament at the Ravele Dragons grounds tomorrow (Saturday).

Tshithuthuni Remember My Promise, representing the Nzhelele region, will play against Guvhungwa United (X1 Worries),

who represent the Vuwani area. The match will start at 09:00. Majosi

Embassy, representing the Hlanganani area, will meet Makhitha up the Brooms at 11:00. The final between the winners of the two semis will be played at 15:00.

Mr Elias Luvhengo, manager of Gu-vhungwa United (X1 Worries FC), said

that he was happy with the way the team was gelling.

“They are doing their best and we have a good understanding. Apart from the fact that there is a lot at stake in the competition, it is time for us to fulfil our promises,” he said.

The coach of Remember My Promise, Mr Bethuel Bulwana, said that coaching the team “has brought noth-ing but joy to my heart. I have seen how they have grown in confi-dence each year.”

Up the Brooms’ manager, Mr Brighton Muvhali, said that his troops usually played well in knock-out com-petitions.

“I’ve told my boys that we can perform well this year, if we just focus and give our best. We are ready for the final battle. By winning the soccer challenge, we will not only make ourselves proud, but the community and man-agement as well,” he said

Mr Happy Maluleke, captain of Majosi Em-bassy, said the team had received tremendous support from the man-agement.

“Just getting to the quarterfinals has made a difference to the boys in terms of confidence and motivation,” he added.

The winners of the competition will receive R6 000, a floating tro-phy, gold medals and a soccer kit, while the losing finalists will re-ceive R4 000, silver medals and a soccer kit. The teams ending in third and fourth position will receive R3 000 and R2 000, soccer kit and bronze medals respec-tively.

Fhulufhelo Phaswa of Scorpions hooks the ball.

Scorpions too dangerous for BraziliansShadani Dangerous Scorpions lifted the MTG Soccer Chal-lenge trophy on Thursday by beating Makonde FC 5-4 in the final at the Makonde Home Defenders grounds.

Makonde, or The Brazilians as they are also known, made their intentions clear from the onset, with their strikers, Vhutshilo Nyamande and Masala Neth-athe, making life difficult for the defenders of Scor-pions. Makonde nearly broke the deadlock nine minutes into the game. Vhutshilo Nyamande could not believe his eyes when his volley missed the target by inches.

The Brazilians took the lead in the 24th min-ute. They were awarded a free kick in the 25-me-ter area. Nyamande beat the keeper with a half volley from the free kick. A few minutes later, Maanda Luvhen-go of Scorpions was booked for a late tackle on Mpho Ravhutsi. An-other Scorpions’ player, Ronewa Tshibalangan-da, was reprimanded with a card for danger-ous play seven minutes

into the last stanza.Dangerous Scoprions did not

lose hope, despite the fact that time was fast running out for them.

Their midfielders dished out some telling passes to the strikers and their patience paid dividends in the 78th minute, when a de-fender of Makonde handled the ball within his own penalty box. Referee Eric Munyai awarded a

penalty to Scorpions. Fhulufhelo Phaswa converted from the pen-alty spot to bring the full-time score to 1-1.

The winner was determined through penalty shoot-out. Dan-gerous Scorpions converted four of their five chances through Rotondwa Mutsivhuli, Unarine Rambuda, Rophuluswa Mau-vhelwana and Fhulufhelo Phas-wa, while Makonde scored three.

United Brothers silence Happy BoysMunangwe United Brothers beat Madandila Happy Boys 2-1 in their semifinal match of the Boy Nemakonde Soc-cer Challenge at the Tshifudi Stadium on Sunday to secure a place in the final.

As if they were going to bury their opponents alive, Brothers approached the game aggres-sively, with their midfielders pushing forward in search of early goals. Their efforts did not pass without reward, as they managed to score two times within the first 25 minutes. Their dimin-utive striker, Example Chauke, caught the Happy Boys’ keeper, Collen Mudzanani, napping and blasted in a volley from the edge of the box. As if he was a spectator, Mudzanani watched helplessly as the ball hit the back of the net.

The referee, Mr Khamusi Razwimis-ani, flashed the first yellow card in the 19th minute. Avhashoni Nevhungoni of Happy Boys tackled Robert Mbedzi from behind and Razwimisani was quick to produce yel-

low. United Brothers increased the margin in the 24th minute when Robert Mbedzi beat the offside trap and sent the keeper the wrong way.

Happy Boys were the first to effect change to their start-ing line-up. They introduced Thivhashavhi Mudzanani and sacrificed Maduvhahafani Munyai. United Brothers nearly made it 3-0 in the 34th minute when Rofunwa Musetsho tried his luck from outside the box. The ball hit the crossbar and

bounced outside the field of play for a goal kick.

Happy Boys came back strongly in the last half. They replaced Ipfi Nekhavhambe with Kenneth Muzhelele five minutes into the last half. United Brothers responded by introduc-ing Khangwelo Ranwaha for Dzudzanani Mahadulula. Happy Boys’ solitary goal came in the 68th minute. Mukovhe Khalushi headed home, following a free kick that was taken by Witness Mafuna.

Shadani Dangerous Scorpions are still cele-brating after being crowned the MTG Soccer Tournament champions at the Makonde Home Defenders grounds last Thursday. Scorpions beat Makonde FC 5-4 in the final.

Scorpions were presented with cash prize of R2 500 and soccer kit during a ceremony at the grounds shortly after the final whistle. The runners-up, Makonde FC or Brazilians, took home a cash prize of R1 800 and soccer kit. The third-placed side, Mudaswali United Brothers, received a cash prize of R800 and R500 was handed over to Makonde Youth Development FC, who finished in the fourth position.

Mudaswali United Brothers beat Makonde Youth Development 4-3 in their losers’ final match, which was played at the same venue earlier that day. The winner was also determined through penalty shootout, following a 1-1 full-time score.

During the ceremony, the chief executive officer of MTG Funeral Services, Mr Shudu Magwabeni, praised the organizers for the manner in which they had managed the tournament.

He added that the tournament would become an annual event, with the sponsorship increasing from time to time. Mr Magwabeni further stated that next year’s tournament will include teams from the nearby villages, Ha-Luvhimbi, Matangari, Khubvi and Muhuyu.

Local artists, including the well-known reggae legend Shufflers Ragimana, entertained the guests during and after the ceremony.

Thovhele Nkhaneni Ramovha of Mulenzhe outside Thohoy-andou, one of the most devel-opmental traditional leaders in Limpopo, has urged his subjects to participate in sport as it has positive spinoffs and is a catalyst for social cohesion.

Ramovha attended the finals of the Thovhele Nkhaneni an-nual soccer tournament initiated by him some years ago. During the tournament, thousands of villagers from different villages in the area came together to cheer on their boys during the finals. Mulenzhe Shooting Stars beat Makovha All Stars 3-2 in a penalty shoot out after the teams had reached a stalemate with the score still 0-0 after regulation time. The game was held at the local Mulenzhe Sports ground

on Sunday.The games kicked off on

11 June, with teams from all villages under the Mulenzhe Traditional Authority, such as Dovheni, Khakhanwa, Dididi, Makovha and Tovhowani, tak-ing part.

Speaking after the finals, Ramovha said as the leadership of the community they had taken a decision to support sports in the villages. “Sport is a catalyst for peace and social cohesion. It brings people together and pro-motes unity as you can see what happened today where the whole community came together.

“We are again calling on the youth to be fully involved in sport. We will support them from left to right and, who knows, judging by what we

have seen here today, there is a lot of talent and some could end up taking soccer as a career,” Ramovha said.

He further indicated they had put aside an amount of R50 000 specially for the tournament. “This money will assist them in traveling costs and also affil-iation fees and we will monitor their progress and their areas of need, “ he said.

Shooting Stars’ manager, Nt-sako Mabasa, praised Thovhele Nkhaneni for the initiative. “These are the types of leaders we need as a community. We spent a good day together as a community, we managed to take the youth away from the streets at least for a day.”

The prize-giving ceremony will be held this weekend.

Jabu Nolela of Benny’s attacks with the ball.

Kaivan Mahangwahaya of Benny’s beats Elmon Theleli.

The U/12 team of Benny’s Care are the Danone Champions. They beat Sekakate Primary 1-0 at Noorderland Secondary School in Polokwane last Thursday.

Sekakate took the game to Benny’s in the first 20 minutes. Their speedy forward, Kaivan Mahangwa-haya, let them down by shooting aimlessly at the goal finish. Sekakate rectified their mistakes soon afterwards. Their diminutive kingpin, Welcome Kgoete, beat the offside trap but lost possession with keeper Dakalo Mukwevho at his mercy.

Jabu Nolela, the Benny’s left flank, had his chance in the 25th minute after receiving a brilliant pass from Jones Davhana. He shot aimlessly from close range and the ball went wide.

The referee flashed the first yellow card in the 40th minute. Fortune Malepe obstructed Rashaka Musekwa and the referee was lenient enough to let him go with yellow, as the nature of the offence carries the weight of a red card.

The scoreboard was still blank when the teams adjourned for half time. Early in the second half, Benny’s introduced Neo Kitima for Ritshidze Maligana.

The only goal of the match c a m e i n t h e 70 th minu te . A defender of Sekakate, Elmon Theleli, handled the ball inside his penalty area and the refer-ee pointed to the white spot. Xolani Muleya converted from the spot.

Sekakate ini-tially showed a spirit of commit-ment, but their original stamina vanished and their back line started to leak. Sekakate had a taste of bad luck in the 86th minute, when Kabelo Mok-wena shot into the hands of the keeper from a penalty spot.

Benny’s in Danone fi nalsand Ultra Mel will be available for everyone who attends.

The coach of Benny’s, Mr Mbishi Mokwena, said the com-petition was about pride and honour.

“This is the second consecu-tive year that we have made it to the national fi nals. We are proud of this and want to keep the tra-

dition going. We want to be the fi rst team in Limpopo to win the tournament,” he added.

According to him, the coach-ing of the boys has brought nothing but joy to his heart “as they have grown in confi dence each year”.

Mokwena expressed his joy with the school’s performances

this year. He added that their preparations were well under-way “and my boys are looking forward to this challenge”.

He warned his team, however, that they must score more goals if they wish to progress further. “I can see them getting more and more confi dent as the days progress,” he added.

The Vhembe-based Benny’s Care Academy will represent Limpopo in the finals of the richest schools football com-petition, the U/12 Danone Cup football tournament. They beat Sekakate Primary 1-0 from Sekhukhune in the fi nal match
