Meyiwa (27), the Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalminder, was fatally shot when two thugs entered Kelly Khu- malo’s house in Vosloorus, East Rand, on Sunday night. It is reported that the two robbers demanded cellphones, money and valuables before Meyiwa was shot in the back, trying to protect Khumalo – because one of the men allegedly had a gun pointed at her. A third man waited outside the house and all three fled immediately after the shoot- ing. “This is a sad loss whichever way you look at it – to Senzo’s family, to his extend- ed family, to Orlando Pirates and to the nation,” Dr Irvin Khoza, Orlando Pirates chairman, commented. Dr Danny Jordaan, Safa president, meanwhile, said he was shocked and devastated by the tragic death of Meyiwa. “He was an integral part of the revolution of our beloved national team under Shakes Mashaba. For him to leave us like this is shocking. “As an association we had expected so much from him, the nation had pinned their hopes on him following brilliant displays in the Bafana Bafana jersey, more so in the recent Afcon matches where he kept a clean sheet in all four games. We will surely miss him,” Jordaan said. “At this time our thoughts are with his family, his club Orlando Pirates, the football family in general. Shakes Mashaba was going to announce his squad to face Sudan and Nigeria tomorrow, and I would like to believe Senzo’s name would have been the first, because he has been a pillar of strength Bafana Bafana in the recent matches, making incredible saves to keep the team in the match. May his soul rest in peace,” Jordaan added. Meyiwa was born in Umlazi outside Durban. He joined Orlando Pirates in 2002, but only made his professional debut in 2005. At the time of his untimely death, he had represented the Sea Robbers 73 times. He played his last match for the Soweto giants when his club defeated Ajax Cape Town 4-1 in the Telkom Knockout on Saturday, just a day before he was killed. Meyiwa was nearing the peak of his career and he had recently captained Bafana in all four of their 2015 African Cup of Nations qualification fixtures. He did not concede a goal during those matches. Meyiwa, who was born in KwaZulu-Natal was never far from the headlines – for the wrong reasons. Tales of abondoning his wife, Mandisa, to go and stay with Khumalo did the rounds with some going as far as describing Khumalo as a “homewrecker”, but the shot-stopper later went back to his wife who forgave him for having an affair with the Afro-pop singer. Khumalo has a child with Meyiwa, and she also shares a child with hip-hop singer Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye. Maarohan- ye was found guilty of murder for killing four schoolboys while dragracing down a Soweto street while high on drugs. This was later converted to culpable homicide.

IT is a yes to the expansion of the GoegapNature Reserve with an additional 4 900 haand the establishment of a new provincialnature reserve at Gamsberg at 12 500 ha inSpringbok.The expansion of the Goegap Nature

Reserve and the establishment of the newprovincial nature reserve at Gamsberg isexpected to most certainly create a coupleof jobs in the province.That is after the Northern Cape MEC

for Environment and Nature Conser-vation, Tiny Chotelo, sealed the first

biodiversity offset agreements betweenKoeris Wind and Mainstream Kangnasas well as Black Mountain Mine (BMM)and the Northern Cape Department ofEnvironment and Nature Conservationto ensure the protection of biodiversitysites.Signing the agreements in Springbok last

week, Chotelo explained that the purposeof a biodiversity offset was to ensure anequivalent or better biodiversity outcometo the sites where biodiversity valuesmight be lost due to impacts that might becaused by developmental projects, toimprove the long-term protection and

viability of the biodiversity and itsassociated habitats, and to ensure thatthe developed site was ecologically sustain-able.Expressing her pride in signing this

first agreement for the province, theMEC elaborated that offsets were in-creasingly being used as a tool toensure that development was eco-logically sustainable and the negativeimpacts were avoided, minimised orremedied.“This is mainly due to the growing

concerns about loss of biodiversity acrossthe country and in particular our prov-ince.“We are therefore compelled to introduce

urgent mechanisms to safeguard species,ecosystems and landscapes.“A consistent approach to, and

clarity on how to make use of, bio-diversity offsets is therefore requiredto avoid the risk of inappropriate bio-diversity offsets or no offsets being usedat all.“It gives me great pleasure that these

offsets we have signed are indeed veryappropriate for this area.“I am also happy that these agreements,

have corrected the myth that conservationis opposed to development and job crea-

tion,” added Chotelo.The MEC maintains that it is the

role of her department to facilitateand coordinate the biodiversity offsetprocesses within the sustainabilitycontext as well as advancing theconstitutional mandate of the depart-ment in line with the Provincial Growthand Development Strategy of having6,5% of all provincial land conservedand protected.She said that the finalisation of the

biodiversity offsets between the stake-holders promised not only to ensurebiodiversity protection, but also togrow the current percentage of theconservation estate from 4,58% to6,5%.According to the MEC, both the

Goegap and Gamsberg reserves willcontribute to the increase in per-centage on the current conservationestate in line with the Provincial Growthand Development Strategy of having6,5% of all provincial land under con-servation.“Of course the journey to marry

the interests of environment, heritageand development was not necessarilysmooth, but had to be travelled,” empha-sised Chotelo in conclusion.

New game reserve to create jobsA FIRST for the province, biodiversity offset agreements for the Northern Cape, were signed by Hendrik Reyneke, CEO: Mainstream Kangnas, Denver van Heerden, head of theEnvironment and Nature Conservation Department, and André Trytman, the general manager: Black Mountain Mine.

“I am still waiting for that department’sresponse as to why they brought a convoy ofdelegates into our garden without myconsent,” says Donald furiously.

According to Donald, the official inquestion, whose name Express Northern Capehas in its possession, bragged to the delega-tion about how his department had beenfunding the project after learning that he(Donald) was out of town.

“My concern is that the department foundus having already distributed to supermar-kets and selling fresh vegetables to locals inan effort of marketing ourselves. When theygot here we poured our hearts out regardingour needs. That is when they promised usJojo tanks after we told them about ourwater challenges.”

ACRES and acres of land lying barren indifferent schoolyards, churches and manyinstitutions in Kimberley have become anobject of envy to two Zimbabwean brothersnow based in Kimberley.

One of the brothers, Donald Mukobvu, is aholticulturalist and to him it is bad to haveland and not use it productively with hisbrother Themba Njopera.

Hence the two brothers approached themanagement at the Galeshewe-based StBoniface School to use the unused land justbehind the school. The result turned out tobe a head-turner to motorists and householdsin the neighbourhood.

Incidentally, this month the Department ofAgriculture, Land Reform and Rural Devel-opment in the Northern Cape has markedWorld Food Day in Kuruman in pursuit ofthe same idea that the brothers are pursuingin Kimberley.

“To us Kimberley is still full of diamondsand those diamonds are the available land atschools and churches that is standingunused. If all communities in the schools andneighbourhoods would be allowed to plantvegetables and sell them the chances are thatthe vegetables would be cheap and fresh,”says Donald.

The brothers say at the beginning theydreamt that by now their project would haveexpanded to other areas, but due to unfore-seen circumstances they still find themselvesglued to the St Boniface garden as theyattempt to fashion out efficient ways toremove weeds and cobwebs. According to thebrothers, the garden has attracted theinterest of unemployed youth, churches andgovernment officials.

THE exuberance that wasevident in the property marketa year ago is coming to an end,and home sellers in most partsof South Africa now need tomoderate their price expecta-tions accordingly.

“Sellers need to calm downand price their properties fairlyin order to achieve a sale,bearing in mind that furtherinterest rate rises are anticipat-ed.”

That’s the advice of LewGeffen, chairman of Sotheby’sInternational Realty in SouthAfrica, who says althoughsummer is here and the primehome-buying season is pickingup momentum, the heat hasgone out of the market in thepast few months and the rate ofprice growth is slowing down.

“Since 2012, when the marketreally began to turn after the2008 and 2009 recession, we haveseen the average home saleprice in our group rise byaround 26%, and at this level weare seeing indications of buyerresistance in most of thecountry except Cape Townwhere demand is still veryhigh.”

Geffen says he is aware thathis point of view may be at oddswith what some other high-pro-file commentators may be sayingabout the state of the real estatemarket, but the fact is that therehas been a weakening ofconsumer sentiment this year.

“And at the same time thebanks are still extremely

conservative when valuingproperties for home loanpurposes.

“In short, we are back in anormal market that is in theprocess of balancing itself, andthis will soon be the case inCape Town too. ”

Geffen says, however, thatprospective buyers should not besitting on the fence at this stageand waiting for prices to godown.

“I want to be clear: Homeprices are now back where theywere before the ‘bust’ of 2008,and are set to keep rising,although possibly more slowlyfor the next couple of years.”

KAIZER MOTAUNG, chairman of KaizerChiefs, has expressed his delight with theprogress made by his club this season.

Amakhosi have moved into the top six ofthe Africa Football/Soccer Clubs rankingsafter having accumulated 1 561 pointsduring the current cycle.

The recent rankings were released on 19October.

The Soweto giants are the only team inthe country who occupy a spot in the topten, followed by Mamelodi Sundowns whoare placed 12th having accumulated 1 511points.

“It is encouraging to see a footballdatabase tracking and documenting theperformances of clubs on the Africancontinent,” Motaung told kaizerchiefs.com.

“So going forward one can compare ourstandard with other countries as well. Theranking also shows the great start ourclub had to the start of the PSL season,”said the chairman.

Chiefs have had a great start to thecurrent PSL season. They are currentlysitting at the top of the log after collecting25 points in nine matches and they remainthe only team in the league that is yet tolose a match this season.

“Looking back, the start to this seasonreminds me of 1984 when Kaizer Chiefsalso had a fantastic season, winning fourtitles, including the league.

“However, that was back in the days ofthe NPSL. In that season Joe Frickleton, aScotsman, was our coach.

“An interesting coincidence is that ourpresent coach, Stuart Baxter, is also aScotsman,” he added.

However, Motaung has warned hisplayers not to get carried away by theircurrent league standing.

“It is still early days.“A season is not a sprint, it is a mara-

thon.” he warned.Orlando Pirates, who had won the

CAF Champions League in 1995 andwere the runners-up in the AfricanChampions League last season, occupythe 20th spot on the continent with 1 472points.

In the top 100 bracket there are otherlocal teams such as Bidvest Wits (38th,

1 419 points), SuperSport United (49th,1 402 points), Bloemfontein Celtic (55th,1 397 points) and Ajax Cape Town (95th,1 353 points).

TP Mazembe of Congo DRC are Africa’sbest team as they are ranked first on thecontinent with 1 609 points.

They are followed by Al-Merreikh ofSudan (second, 1 588 points), Vita Club of

Congo DRC (third, 1 579 points), RajaCasablanca of Morocco (fourth, 1 566points) and Al Hilal Omdurman of Sudan(fifth, 1 565 points).

Free State Stars are ranked 122nd afteraccumulating 1 332 points.
