Armed with spades and vuvuzelas a community threatened with a display

of force reminiscent of the Marikana bloodbath in the case of Police attempting to prevent them from wilfully claiming adjacent municipal and private land on the outskirts of Polok-wane.

That was on Friday evening

and the situation aris-ing from representa-tives of an estimated 3 000 households in and around Extension 76 engaging in an explosive display of anger dragged on for several days. To the outsider the volatile scenario could seem as if the

Land grab on city edge

Leerder breindood verklaar na kwadfiets-ongelukVan bl 1en suster, Essie, sowel as familie en vriende bly hoop, glo en vertrou dat ‘n wonderwerk sal gebeur. Sy toestand het nie sedert Sondag verbeter nie.”

Essie, ‘n graad 12-leerder aan Hoërskool Pie-

tersburg het Sondag op ‘n sosiale netwerkblad om gebede gevra en gesê: “Volgens die dokters is Walter breindood en word hy met masjiene aan die lewe gehou, maar ons glo dat Liewe Je-sus ‘n wonderwerk sal laat gebeur. Hy het nog nie opgegee nie en ons ook nie. Hou aan bid

saam met ons, kom ons almal baklei saam met Wallie!” Talle leerders van beide skole spreek daagliks hulle simpatie op ‘n netwerkblad teen-oor die gesin uit en bemoedigingsboodskappe stroom konstant in terwyl gebedsgroepe die familie deurentyd in gebede opdra.

From page 2ruling party was being held hostage as mem-bers of the hyped up group gathering in the streets of Extension 76 expressed determina-tion to withhold their votes in the nearing elections if their cries for housing went by unattended.

Members of the community referred to themselves as children of the soil who had been on waiting lists for RDP houses since 2002. Some explained they had to pay between R1 200 to R1 400 for monthly rent to owners of RDP homes in the area. Most of them were unemployed and lived off social grants, someone in the group pointed out. “They are robbing us. And now they want our votes. We are not going to go to vote if they do not solve our problems,” a voice in the mass said. They demanded a permanent solution, they stressed. A male voice sounded out, reiterating that they were ready for the Police and promised another Marikana. “We are ready to die.”

In a later interview on Sunday a single mother of two girls of four and six years said she had been waiting on assistance for the past 15 years. Returning from a piece of land she had been clearing since the morning and accompanied by her daughters, she stressed the struggle for survival.

The threat to forcefully occupy vacant land became reality early Sunday when the commu-nity started claiming portions of undeveloped land along the road to Ga-Matlala. By Tuesday they had given themselves until early tomorrow morning (Friday) to start putting up structures, as attested to by a source. In the meantime it was learnt that a halt was brought to the

small gathering while a delegation of the African National Congress (ANC) in Peter Mokaba Region had deliberations ahead of consultations with the party.

Kinky Manamela, African National Congress (ANC) Peter Mokaba sub-regional coordina-tor, summarised the situation as a crisis on its own. He said the ANC had capacity to deal with the matter and needed to consult with the Joe Modise branch in Ward 8 to establish the facts and respond accordingly. He referred to individuals taking advantage of the upcoming elections. When doing a last check at the time of going to press he said the matter had been taken up with the district and local municipali-ties who by then have intervened. The ANC would never accept a situation where people invaded land at their own will and without fol-lowing proper procedures, he stressed.

While on the scene on Sunday Polokwane Observer was approached by new arrivals asking to be directed to available land. On Tuesday a source said Police and traffic of-ficials, nurses and teachers from Polokwane, nearby Westenburg and Seshego in the dis-tance were among those in search of greener pastures.That day municipal officials removed whatever attempts to stake claims, the source added. In the evening a group gathered for a meeting and through translations it was learnt that they intended to disperse to blockade the road to Ga-Matlala, but re-convened until 19:15.

The last decision, the source said, was for community members to go over to action tomorrow with the setting up of structures on apportioned land.

actions when municipal officials and council-lors met with representatives of the group on Tuesday afternoon with the demand to refrain from the illegal occupation of land. According to Polokwane municipal spokesperson Matshidiso Mothapo municipal officials and politicians communicated to the representatives of the community that the process was illegal and that they had to stop. He continued saying an agreement was reached for community repre-sentatives to pass on the message and that the matter would be taken up by the community in writing to the municipality, which in turn would be engaging the MEC for Cooperative Govern-ance, Human Settlements and Traditional Af-fairs (Coghsta) on the matter. Follow-up liaison with the department was agreed on to address housing challenges in Polokwane, he indi-cated. Mothapo stressed the municipality and Police would continue monitoring the area and remove any illegal structures. He said the esti-mated size of the land under claim comprised 3 ha. The bigger portion of the land was part of a privately-owned farm while the remaining land belonging to the municipality has been earmarked for schools and parks, he indicated.

During the course of Sunday Polokwane Observer was informed that community mem-bers started marking their self-claimed territory early morning. By Sunday afternoon land grab-bers, identified as residents from Extensions 76, 71, 75, 73, 40 and 44 within Ward 8 as well as from Seshego and Westenburg, resorting under Ward 17 and Ward 19 respectively, were out in full force claiming pre-identified portions of land and clearing grass. They even braved a threat-ening rain burst and lightning in the distance to continue with land clearing. By then South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) representative Botha Mphahlele addressed a

>> Elderly couple found mur-dered and in decomposing state >> 16-year old relative to ap-pear in courtKESHIA J V RENSBURG>> [email protected]

A 16-year old relative of Willem (69) and Anje Kiesling (67) will appear in the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court on Monday in connection with the murder of the elderly couple from Merebank outside Lephalale. The suspect was arrested in Mosselbay on Monday at his guard-ians’ house and appeared briefly before the Mosselbay Magistrate’s Court.

One of their four daughters, Arenda Piet-erse during an exclusive interview on Wednes-day with the Polokwane Observer said after speaking to her mother two Saturdays ago, she became concerned when the day after their last correspondence no reply had been received. “Our family talk to each other regularly and check in with each other. When at first we didn’t hear from them we didn’t panic because they live on a farm and cellular reception was often very bad.” Pieterse further explained that they then contacted the Police and asked them to go and see if there was anything strange going on at the farm, after

the family heard various rumours regarding farm attacks in the area. A phone call from the Limpopo Police confirmed the worst on Friday when they were told both their parents had died. “I can also confirm that a Ford Courier was stolen from the farm and is suspected to have been used as a getaway vehicle. The post-mortem results determining the cause of death will be released today (Thursday),” Pieterse added.

Hangwani Mulaudzi from the Limpopo Police said members of the Police were dispatched to the farm where the gruesome find was made. “A post-mortem will be conducted to deter-mine the cause of death, which at this stage is difficult to ascertain due to the decomposed state of the bodies,” he said, adding that Police believe the couple could possibly and accord-ing to initial information gathered have died a week ago.

He further said there were no signs of a robbery or a struggle and that the safe was not opened. A special task team has since been established to investigate the murders, which aided in the swift apprehension of the suspect, who was arrested over 1 500 km away from the scene of the crime.

Pieterse on behalf of her family thanked the Limpopo community for their ongoing support during this time. The Kiessling couple will be buried tomorrow (Friday) at the Full Gospel Church in Mokopane. For more information contact Pieterse on 083 566 3227.

The Limpopo Police are seemingly in the process of investigating a high ranking Police official from the Seshego Police Station after it was found that he allegedly falsified his Grade 12 certificate.

A source reported the official is said to have started his career at the South African Police in 2000 and was promoted to his current rank in 2009, holding this position as a disciplinary official within the ranks of the Limpopo Police until this present day.

The officer, whose name is known to Polokwane Observer and who has worked his way up the Police ladder, stands firmly in his current position while allegedly carrying the knowledge along with him every day that he is holding his position illegally and criminally and should indeed not even qualify to be an officer

as a Grade 12 certificate is a prerequisite for that.

The source further said that there is a pos-sibility the official is currently being investigat-ed by the Police for the alleged falsification of his Grade 12 certificate. This information was revealed this week, after the initial investiga-tion against the said official came to light. “It is alleged that the officer falsified his matric certificate. Most would see this as a deliberate act of fraud,” the source said.

Ronel Otto from the Limpopo Police says she cannot confirm or deny that an officer from a nearby Police station is being inves-tigated on these allegations or whether an arrest in the near future is imminent.

“The Police are not permitted to reveal information regarding an ongoing investigation or a pending arrest as it might hamper the legitimacy or the outcome of the investigation,” Otto said.

Limpopo’s Premier, Stan Mathabatha was quick to intervene in the latest chapter of the Lim-popo textbook saga and paid an impromptu visit to two schools on Tuesday after the De-partment of Basic Education (DBE) was taken to court by civil organisation Section 27 over another alleged textbook shortage.

Limpopo is reported to have a shortage of 18 000 textbooks at 23 schools in the prov-ince. The DBE was forced in 2012 by Section 27 to deliver textbooks that were late to vari-ous schools in Limpopo after a ruling by High Court Judge Jody Kollapen that it breached the learners’ right to basic education.

An urgent application by community-based organisation Basic Education for All (Befa) on behalf of 18 school governing bodies and Section 27 to compel the DBE and Limpopo Education Department to deliver all outstand-ing textbooks to schools in Limpopo was postponed in the North Gauteng High Court until today (Thursday).

Judge Neil Tuchten urged Befa and the education authorities to attempt to resolve the matter and the parties were given time put new information before court.

The Premier paid an unscheduled visit to the Ranti Secondary School in Dikgale and Gwara Gwara Combined School in Apel, two of the schools mentioned by Befa and Section 27 to see firsthand why there were shortages of textbooks and learner support materials. Premier’s Spokesperson, Kenny Mathivha said no shortages of textbooks were found at Ranti

Secondary and at Gwara Gwara Combined a few Grade 10 and 11 textbooks were not avail-able to learners.

He added that the current shortage of textbooks can be mainly attributed to pupils that move from one school to another after textbooks have been ordered for the new academic year.

“Some learners migrate to better perform-ing schools in their immediate vicinity and some register after an audit of the learner support materials necessary for the next aca-demic year has already taken place,” Mathivha explained. He added that in some instances schools received the wrong textbooks and learner support materials which have to be sent back to the DBE to be re-ordered.

The Premier will visit two more of the schools mentioned by Befa and Section 27 today (Thursday), Mathivha said.

The following statement was received from Hangwani Mulaudzi of the Limpopo Police.

“I, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, the pro-vincial head of Corporate Communication and the spokesperson for the South African Police in Limpopo, hereby demand an apology and a retraction of your story titled psychiatrist ap-pears in court again which appeared on page 3 of your paper.

In your article I am quoted as saying that “the allegations made against the doctor are of a very serious nature and investigations are of a very serious nature and investigations into these charges are done thoroughly.” I did not give out such a comment and I do not remem-ber talking to the reporter about that issue in question.

I demand an apology because my name was used in vain and this compromises my credibility and makes the public believe that I uttered such words. I know nothing of the case and at the time of the onset of the case I had not yet been appointed as the spokesper-son for the Limpopo Police.

We have in the past enjoyed a good work-ing relationship with the Polokwane Observ-er and we are determined to keep professional standards at a high.”

• Polokwane Observer’s journalist stands by the information relayed in the article but for the purpose of keeping relations with the Lim-popo Police on a positive foot, it was decided to publish the statement issued by Mulaudzi. - Editor

A 61-year-old tug of war over traditional leadership came a step closer to conclu-sion on Thursday when the Polokwane

High Court ruled it would on 15 April give final judgement in the matter of who should lead the Bahananwa Traditional Community, also known as Maleboho, of the Blouberg district.

The case before the court was an application by acting Kgoshi Tlabo Joseph Leboho for the Premier to withdraw the appointment of Ngako Isaac Leboho as rightful Kgoshi of the com-munity. The court’s ruling will most likely be in favour of Isaac Leboho who was appointed as kgoshi in 2011.

Johan van Staden, legal representative of Isaac Leboho said Isaac is the only family member eligible for the throne. He said during a 20 day trial in 2011 in the North Gauteng High Court Judge Raulinga ruled that recognition of

Kgoshi Tlabo Joseph Leboho, who acted on be-half of Isaac, will with effect from 6 September 2006 be declared null and void. The court ruled that in considering the identification of a future kgoshi the Bahananwa Royal Council was not properly constituted because people who were not members of the said council attended the meeting. The council therefore failed to observe the customary laws, customs and processes of the Bahananwa Traditional Community. It further ruled that Tlabo Leboho does not belong to the house whose sons are eligible to ascend the throne.

Raulinga stated in his judgement that legend has it that the Bahananwa people moved from Botswana to Maleboho in the late 1800s with Kgalushi Seketa Rachaba Leboho ascending the throne he inherited from his forefathers. He died in 1939 as Kgoshi of Bahananwa and was succeeded by his son Seiphi. According to court evidence Kgalushi’s other son, Mabea died before his father. After Kgalushi’s death his wife,

Mmamphoku ruled until 1940 when she died and Seiphi died in 1953 after which his wife, Mosima ruled until 1957 when she was removed by the colonial government. Evidence also proved that Kgalushi’s princi-pal wife was from the Rangata family which broke the tradition of Bahananwa of taking principal wives from Kubu or Morudu families.

In 1958 Wilson Leboho was appointed as acting Kgoshi and it was the community’s intention that he would become a seed-raiser for Seiphi in order to revive the house of Mosima. Ngako Isaac Leboho was then born to become the eligible Kgoshi.

“I am not proud. I am not happy with the disclaimer,” Polokwane Executive Mayor Freddy Greaver said during last week’s Council meet-ing when Limpopo Auditor General (AG) Dirk Strydom elaborated on the progress of the AG’s opinion to Council.

“Though I am not happy it is still the opin-ion of the AG and we should respect the out-come as well as the way they would approach certain matters. It is incumbent on things we cannot change and I accept it,” Greaver responded to Strydom’s presentation.

Strydom said about R5,6 billion of the bal-ance sheet is represented by municipal assets and due to various issues in this part of the audit report the AG had no choice but to give a disclaimer on the municipality. “There is indeed a visible improvement at the financial department and overall financial management of the municipality,” he nonetheless added.

Strydom highlighted paragraphs in his opinion pointing out where improvement is urgently required, including roads to be clari-fied as provincial or municipal road and assets, referred to as legacy issues, which are on the asset register for many years without sufficient information regarding these assets. Revenue issues were addressed and the AG implement-ed a system for the process going forward and the procedure on irregular expenditure that was not properly followed.

A meeting between Road Agency Limpopo (RAL) and the AG to discuss issues on road allocations to determine which roads belong to the municipality and which to the agency was scheduled for Monday.

Nell’s case to kick off tomorrowKESHIA J V RENSBURG>> [email protected]

Businessman Jacques Nell will appear before the Polokwane Mag-istrate’s Court tomor-row (Friday) for what is expected to be the start of his trial on charges of fraud. He was granted bail by the North Gauteng High Court last Wednesday after spending 36 nights behind bars following his arrest by the Hawks on 19 February.

Nell’s hearing is expected to officially com-mence tomorrow before the presiding Magistrate Janine Ungerer. She earlier denied Nell’s bail application for various reasons such as that the court seeing him as a flight risk and that he al-legedly intimidated and threatened witnesses.

Ungerer also cited Nell’s alleged disrespect for the court in various instances as a reason for denying him bail.

Response to Polokwane Observer leadMolebatsi Masedi, member of the Mapungubwe Arts Festival Organising Committee, writes:

The Polokwane Observer hysterical headline, R4, 5m fest a DISASTER, couldn’t come as a surprise or shock to a discerning reader of your newspaper – no wonder the author of the malicious piece hides under the amorphous Editorial Team which can be some-thing or nothing at all.

The shock or surprise of the reporting of the annual Mapungubwe Arts Festival would have come if you were to be objective in your coverage of this provincial flagship event. Your newspaper has consistently been damning of events hosted around the cricket club precinct. No wonder the bulk of your hatchet job is devoted to Polokwane resi-dents “fuming over noise levels rising from weekend music performances that continued till the wee morning hours of Sunday and Monday.”

As for the R4,5m disaster there’s no shred of evidence to back this thumb-sucked hys-teria by your anonymous editorial team. The weeklong festival served its intended purpose of showcasing what the province has to offer in terms of the arts and culture. Added to the rich festival programme were national and international musical icons like Kurt Darren, Kanda Bongo Man, Selaelo Selota and Uhuru to mention a few.

Local talent was also well represented by the likes of Colbert Mukwevho, Candy Mokoe-na, Malo a Botsheba and Joe Shirimani who featured prominently in the main Jazz Festival line-up. The Street Carnival and the official opening of Mapungubwe 2014 was equally colourful with Boeremusiek, SAPS inter-cultural group, Rapson Rambuwani and the legendry Penny Penny.

Representing the Premier, MEC for Safety,

Security and Liaison Happy Joyce Mashamba called on citizens of Limpopo, black and white, to attend the line-up of events of the festival as it showcased 20 years of freedom and democracy in the arts and culture. Mashamba further expressed confidence that artists and the entertainment industry would seize the moment and tell true stories of the past 20 years of our democracy through drama, music and dance.

Mashamba’s vote of confidence was not in vain, all the festival programmes lived up to the highest universal standards of perfor-mance.

Besides the gospel and jazz programmes there was the exhibition of indigenous crafts and two days of stage theatre delivered by the doyen of the craft Paul Mahuma Rapet-soa.

My preliminary evaluation of Mapungubwe 2014 is that the flagship event was a success and realized a good return on money invested in it – a fact borne by all the media institutions which crowned it as a roaring success.

As part of the festival organising committee I am the first to concede that the event hasn’t reached its maximum potential and that a lot remains to be done to be in the same league as similar projects in the country. On this score the organizing committee will naturally meet to receive a comprehensive report on the event which will include inputs from individuals and stakeholders on how the festival can be improved.

Mapungubwe Arts Festival 2014 is a good story with a potential of being the greatest in the country calendar of arts and culture events. Whether this is realised or remains a dream deferred is up to the people of Lim-popo.

Knowing the people of the Great North, Mapungubwe Arts Festival can only grow from strength to strength – prophecies of doom and gloom notwithstanding.

In reaction to the Department of Coop-erative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs’ (Coghsta) decision

to place Mogalakwena Municipality under administration, the Mogalakwena Residents’ Association (MRA) last week obtained a court order interdicting and restraining Coghsta MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe from executing his decision.

South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) Provincial Secretary Simon Mathe did not want to respond to the matter as it is still sub judice. It is reported that there is

also a pending application to give permanence to the interdict granted and that it is now up to Kgetjepe to lodge opposition and mount a defence to this application. The intended in-tervention at Mogalakwena Municipality stems from Coghsta’s cognisance of the challenges facing the municipality. These include disputes over the contract validity of the municipal man-ager and the council as well as institutional instability characterised by serious infighting among council members and senior officials, both of which negatively affect the ability of the municipal leadership to fulfil its legislative mandate including the provision of basic ser-vices and efficient financial management.

Polokwane was the northern turnaround point for CNN news reporter, Enzo van Vuuren’s expedition to create awareness and raise funds for various green projects, particularly the protection of rhinos.

Polokwane Observer received a surprise visit from Van Vuuren (49) on Tuesday.

As initiator of the Heal the World for Us project, Van Vuuren chose Polokwane as turna-round point on his 6 000 km journey of which 4 000 were dedicated towards fundraising for the conservation of rhinos. “Mercurius South Africa kindly sponsored a Smart For Two in which I could complete my journey. In every town I spend some time on my bicycle equipped with an automated kilometre logging system. Travelling by bicycle only will result in the project ending quicker and not permitting enough time to get to

all my goals for the journey,” he said. Van Vuuren travelled through seven of the nine

provinces only omitting KwaZulu-Natal and Mpuma-langa. “On my journey back I will cover those two provinces. I encourage people to support the initiative. I received a warm welcome in every town I stopped so far,” he said.

To follow Van Vuuren visit his facebook profile or the wedsite www.healtheworldpro-jects.yolasite.com for more information on various projects he is involved in.

RC MybuRgh>>[email protected]

The National Prosecuting Author-ity (NPA) has confirmed that the dismissal of the charges of fraud, racketeering and money launder-ing against Economic Freedom Fighter Leader Julius Malema’s co-accused, Selby Manthata, his wife Helen Moreroa and his brother Mokgetsi Manthata, would have no impact on his case facing the same charges.

The Mokopane Regional Court withdrew all charges against the Manthata brothers and Moreroa last Wednesday.

It is reported that the case was withdrawn after the Matha-tas applied for acquittal in terms of section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Act resulting in the dismissal of the case on the basis that the evidence presented by

the state could not sustain the charges. Hawks Spokesperson Paul Ramaloko could not be reached to confirm the reason for the dismissal.

Malema, Lesiba Gwangwa, Kagiso Dichabe, both Manthata brothers and Moreroa appeared in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court in June on charges relating to a tender worth R52 million allegedly awarded by the Department of Roads and Transport to On-Point Engineering Company which is co-owned by Malema’s Ratanang Family Trust. The Manthatas and Moreroa were then excused from court after they were warned to appear in the Mokopane Regional Court the following month when a High Court date would have been set.

They were first arrested and charged together with Malema in September 2012.

Charges withdrawn against Malema’s co-accused

Rapist sentenced to life in prisonThe Naphuno Regional Court out-side Tzaneen on Friday sentenced convicted rapist Masilo Phillip Maenetja to life imprisonment af-ter he was found guilty of raping a five-year-old girl from Lephephane outside Maake nearly three years ago. According to Hangwani Mu-laudzi from the Limpopo Police the 28-year-old from the same area was also handed a five-year jail term for the kidnapping of the girl who he grabbed at the gate of her home before forcefully dragging her to his house where he raped and tortured her for a whole night. After her ordeal the child informed her family of the rape, a case was opened and the rapist was swiftly arrested.

Acting Provincial Commis-sioner Benny Ntlemeza in a press statement sang the praises of the detective who handled the case stating that it was the investi-gative skills of the officer that ensured Maenetja was removed from society for good. “Detective Constable Charlotte Thuketana’s investigative skills ensured the Police were able to secure and achieve the sentence handed down to Maenetja.” Ntlemenza also praised the work done by the court.

“She really deserves a pat on the back for her relentless efforts in ensuring Maenetja is jailed for as long as possible.”

Suspected rhino poachers in courtFive suspected rhino poachers appeared before the Phalaborwa Magistrate’s Court on Monday

after being arrested on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.

The suspects, Thulani Siwela (28), Doctor Ngwenyama (36), Given Mashaba (30), Vusi Matsane (45) and Robert Sondlani (38) were arrested by the Gravelotte Police on Thursday evening after they were suspected of being poachers who were on their way to kill a rhino at a nearby game reserve.

Hangwani Mulaudzi from the Limpopo Police says a suspicious looking vehicle was spotted and upon searching the suspects’ ve-hicle, Police found a hunting rifle with its serial number filed off, 20 live rounds of ammunition and three butcher knives.

Foetus found in plastic bagA passerby walking in Loris Street in Westenburg got the fright of his life when he noticed a small hand sticking from a plastic bag next to the road on Sunday around 16:00. Mohlaka Mashiane from the Westenburg Police says a case of concealment of birth has been opened after finding a foetus in a plastic bag in Extension 14 of Westenburg’s RDP section. “The mother has not yet been indenti-fied but we are appealing to the community to come forward with any information that will help find the perpetrator.

These incidences of babies being thrown away like rubbish are now getting out of hand and happen far too often.” Anyone with information that could lead to the identification or arrest of the mother should contact Mashiane on 082 729 0169.

During Polokwane Municipality’s council meeting on Thursday Executive Mayor Freddy Greaver expressed his disap-

pointment over the recent R4,5 million Ma-pungubwe Festival in which the policy to keep noise levels to a minimum and to stick to the closure time of the festival was not adhered to.

The issue was raised by Democratic Alliance (DA) Councillor Frank Haas who referred to last week’s edition of Polokwane Observer reporting on residents’ anger over noise levels that continued until the early morning hours of Sunday and Monday.

“I feel like a liar,” Greaver responded to

Haas’s concern about tax payers who were previously promised that this would not happen again. “The community is not happy. It is unac-ceptable and disrespectful to keep residents in the vicinity of the Polokwane Cricket Club awake until the early morning hours. It turned us into liars,” Haas said.

Haas was called to one of the resident’s homes in Suid Street after 01:00 on Monday from where he tried to call Greaver to address the situation. Greaver’s phone was however switched off.

“I was not aware that my cell phone was off. I apologise. When Council discussed the event we came to a conclusion that we need to respect the policy set out to regulate the festival. We need to respect decisions and

have no explanation why things got out of hand,” he said.

Greaver was hitting hard on management and officials responsible for implementing decisions taken. “I don’t know why the festival was allowed to continue until the early morn-ing hours. I cannot be responsible for taking policy decisions and implementing it. I can re-member we agreed on certain times for closure of the festival and I need answers to why we violated the resolutions,” he said. Greaver made his discontent clear every time he has to apolo-gise on behalf of officials not doing their job.

”I will discuss this matter with the municipal manager as well as responsible officials on why we continuously have to address these issues,” Greaver concluded.

Danger at flooded valve chamberRC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

Domestic workers employed in the area be-lieve it to be a fountain that is home to a giant snake while local children relish the pleasure of a small pool. In reality it is a constantly flooded valve chamber that, according to some longstanding residents of the Ivydale area, has been overflowing for more than 20 years.

Judging from the more than 100 m of dense reed growth bordering the small permanent stream that has formed it is clear the apparently uncontained spillage has been going on for a long time. Children swimming there without adult supervision run the risk of drowning while the reeds offer a possible hideout for criminals that could prey on them or on the locals that use it as a source of free fresh water.

Polokwane Municipality was apparently not aware of the situation near the intersection of Church street and the Tzaneen bypass. This, despite the uncountable of litres of water hav-ing gone to waste at tax payers’ cost. Since Polokwane Observer enquired on Monday no comment has been forthcoming from the communications department except for Spokesperson Matshidiso Mothapo who said an official will be sent to the scene to assess the problem.

PhOtOS: RC MyBuRgh This overflowing valve chamber not only wastes uncountable litres of water but also poses a danger to residents using it as source of water and children swimming in it.

taxi violence, four arrested RC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

Violence between local taxi associations in Le- bowakgomo broke out on Tuesday following al-leged disputes over newly established routes which form part of existing routes within the area.

A resident of the area informed Polo-kwane Observer of a taxi owner being stoned to death on Tuesday and another one seriously injured yesterday (Wednesday) by angry taxi drivers who attacked them.

Provincial Police Spokesperson Col Ronel Otto confirmed the violence yet denied that any death occurred as alleged by the resident. “We can assure the community that no deaths have been reported yet. So far Police managed to arrest four taxi drivers who will face charges of malicious damage to property, common assault and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. They are due to appear in the Lebowa-kgomo Magistrate’s Court today (Thursday).

Otto said damage to several taxis had been reported. Otto and Police management were at the time engaged in a meeting with repre-sentatives from taxi associations in Lebowa-kgomo.

Your business: the dangers of signing surety without surety

Cape Town,20 February 2014: External funding – in the form of an overdraft

facility, a term loan or asset finance – is a normal part of business. Few entrepreneurs realise, however, that signing surety on behalf of their business can have a severe impact on their personal estates unless they have taken out adequate insurance cover, says Deon Theunis, Sanlam Business Market’s head of distribu-tion support.

“Most financial institutions require the owner of the business to sign surety for funding. If the owner dies or is permanently disabled, his or her estate may be called upon to settle the debt. This can put enormous financial pressure on the owner’s family members, as funds that should have been used for their maintenance will now go towards paying business debt,” he says.

Business owners need to ensure their personal estates and their businesses are protected through what is called contingent liability insurance, which pays off business debt if the business owner dies. “Of all the financial planning needs entrepreneurs should consider, such as insuring against the loss of a key person, succession planning and cover for employees, contingent liability is by far the most important. Covering other insurance needs first

is like putting the horse before the cart.

“Almost all businesses have debt, and yet our statistics show that only 3% of the business insurance policies we sell are for contingent liability.”

Theunis says most business own-ers have an attitude of ‘it will never happen to me’. “They do not realise the risk they are taking. For exam-ple, we know of a recent case where a bank repossessed a widow’s house because her husband, a successful business owner, had signed surety for a loan without having adequate risk cover in place. In another case, a widow and her son lost their family farm after her husband signed surety for an overdraft facility and was then killed in a freak accident. He had not put any protective measures in place to secure his debt.”

He says the implications of sign-ing surety on behalf of a business do not stop at the estate of the deceased or permanently disabled owner. “It can have a ripple effect that could potentially ruin a thriving business.”

For example, if the surety is called up against the estate of the deceased, and there is no liquidity in the estate to cover the surety it could result in a claim against the business or the remaining owners who signed surety, usually jointly

and severally. Theunis says business owners

often do not fully understand what they are liable for and for how long, when they sign a suretyship document. “It is important to note that signing surety is usually only required for the term of the financ-ing agreement or while the business owner is involved in the business. When the loan has been repaid or if the owner leaves the business, the surety must be cancelled. If this is not done, the owner who stood surety at the time of the debt, will remain liable for the debt if the surety is called up by the financial institution.”

Contingent liability insurance usually takes the form of an insur-ance policy with life and disability cover, taken out by the business, which owns the policy and pays the premiums. The premiums are not tax deductible, making the eventual pay-out free of tax.

Theunis says it is crucial to obtain expert advice from a qualified financial adviser before making any decisions on business insurance cover. “Each business owner has unique financial needs. A financial adviser can assist in prioritising these needs to protect not only the individual business owner, but also their families and their business,” he concludes.

Die burgerregte-organisasie, AfriForum het verlede week in ‘n persverklaring be-vestig dat Polokwane se drinkwater veilig

vir verbruik is. Dit nadat die organisasie vroeër vanjaar die stad se water getoets en bevestig het dat dit hoë vlakke van E.Coli bevat.

Leerders van verskeie skole in die stad is ook vroeër vandeesmaand met simptome wat vermoedelik deur vuil water veroorsaak is, gediagnoseer. Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) moes noodgedwonge ‘n watersuiweraar by die koshuis installeer nadat verskeie leerders siek geword het.

“AfriForum het die nuutste uitslae van wa-termonsters wat twee weke gelede in die stad geneem is van ‘n laboratorium ontvang en be-vestig dat die water skoon en veilig vir verbruik is,” sê Limpopo-organiseerder van AfriForum, Morné Mostert.

As deel van AfriForum se nasionale Blou- en Groendruppelprojek het hulle by vier punte in die stad watermonsters geneem. “Ons is bly dat die Polokwane Munisipaliteit spoedig opgetree het om die probleem op te los en

ons hoop dat ander probleme met dieselfde dringendheid aangepak sal word,” sê hy.

Hy sê drinkwater mag geen E.Coli bevat nie terwyl gesuiwerde rioolwater minder as 1 000 eenhede per 100 ml moet bevat om veilig vir gebruik te wees.

Die persverklaring toon ander dorpe in die provinsie onder meer Groblersdal, Makhado, Marble Hall, Mookgophong, Modimolle, Phalaborwa, Mokopane en Bela-Bela se water drinkbaar is. In Mookgophong, Modi-molle, Phalaborwa, Polokwane, Mokopane en Bela-Bela is die gesuiwerde rioolwater nie op standaard nie.

Julius Kleynhans, hoof van omgewingsake by AfriForum sê probleme met drinkwater kan oor die algemeen vinnig reggestel word, maar rioolwater hou beduidende gesondheidsrisiko’s vir gemeenskappe in. “Nalatigheid by beplan-ning en ‘n gebrek aan instandhouding van infrastruktuur lei tot grootskaalse besoedeling van ons waterbronne. AfriForum sal aanma-ningsbriewe aan die plaaslike munisipaliteite wat nie aan die regulasies voldoen nie, stuur om hul gesuiwerde rioolwater op standaard te kry. Die water sal dan weer getoets word om vordering te monitor.”

A six-year-old girl died on Friday after a vehicle ran her over in Hans van Rensburg Street in the vicinity of the boom entrance to the open-air parking at Library Gardens.

Roads around the area were blocked off causing lunch time traffic to back up for sev-eral blocks. An eye-witness on the scene said the accident occurred when the girl attempted to cross the road with her mother and an older sibling. The person said he was standing only metres away from the collision point and heard the child screaming and the screech of tyres when the driver of a red Volkswagen Golf 6 attempted to brake in time to avoid the child. “The mother was not holding the girl’s hand and that is why she ran into the very busy street,” he said.

Lesiba Ramoshaba from the Polokwane Police confirmed the incident and that a young girl was fatally injured after a car hit her on Friday afternoon. “A mother and her two chil-dren were in town on Friday and they attempt-ed to cross the road. The 6-year-old girl died instantly when the car hit her.” The driver of the vehicle is said to be from Marble Hall. An investigation is currently at hand which will de-termine the exact cause and the details leading up to the death of the child. Ramoshaba says a case of culpable homicide has been opened against the driver.

He also reiterated the importance of parents keeping a firm grip on their young children while walking in traffic, especially at the busi-est times of the month. “An accident like this could have been avoided if the child had been kept from running across the street by the par-ent holding onto her.

Making basic health services accessible to all communities is the focus of a joint venture between Rotary International and the Depart-ment of Health and Social Development that is being rolled out from to 2 to 4 April 2014.

In Polokwane the service will be rendered

at Greenside Primary School and will comprise HIV counselling and testing, diabetes and blood pressure screening, de-worming, provi-sion of vitamin A tablets and TB symptomatic screening.

Eyes will also be tested and reading glasses will be available at R20 per pair. This outreach project forms part of a rollout to 160 sites throughout the country.

Annelene Wagner, hoof van Suikerbekkie Pre-Primêre Skool in Ooststraat het gister-oggend om 09:30 aan Polokwane Ob-server bevestig dat daar geen watertoevoer van 19:00 die vorige aand in dié straat was nie. Water was wel Woensdagoggend vir ‘n

rukkie beskikbaar, waarna die krane weer opgedroog het. Buite die skool was werkers van ‘n kontrakteursfirma van die munisipaliteit besig om gras uit te kap en die gebarste pyp uit te grawe. ‘n Stroom water het nog in die straat afgeloop wat aandui dat die water eers onlangs toegedraai is.

Silverkruin het vroegoggend probleme ervaar, maar toevoer is later herstel. Personeel van Mediclinic Limpopo en Vergeet My Nie Behuisingsentrum het bevesitig dat hulle nie deur die probleem geraak is nie.

Botsings vind byna daagliks by die kruising van Munniklaan en Veldspaatstraat by Thornhill Shopping Centre plaas, veral oor naweke of laatnag wanneer motoriste geen ag op die rooi verkeerslig slaan nie en blatant teen ‘n hoë spoed oor die kruising jaag.

Wrakstukke wat gereeld uit die pad ver-wyder en langs die sypaadjies gelaat word is bewyse dat ongelukke gereeld by dié kruising plaasvind. ‘n Inwoner wat naby woon sê sy moet gereeld toekyk hoe onskuldige mense beseer word of hul lewens verloor omdat spoedvrate en padvarke geen respek vir mede-padgebruikers toon nie. “Motoriste gee nie gehoor aan die 80 km/h spoedbeperking nie en dié wat uit Mall of the North-rigting (R81) vanuit Munniklaan in Veldspaatstraat wil regs draai is herhaaldelik slagoffers van jaagduiwels wat in die rigting van Mall of the North ry. Ter-selfdertyd vat motoriste kanse om van beide kante links of regs vanuit die R81 reg voor aankomende verkeer vir wie die verkeerslig reeds groen is, in te draai.

‘n Bydraende faktor is mense wat hulle selfone gebruik terwyl hulle bestuur,” sê sy. Sy voeg by dat sy gereeld kinders in voertuie sien wat nie vasgegordel is nie. “Ek verstaan nie hoe ouers dit kan toelaat dat kinders op die sitplekke staan nie. Die munisipaliteit moet op ‘n daaglikse basis verkeersbeamptes op dié pad ontplooi om oortreders vas te vat of ‘n daadwerklike poging aanwend om motoriste te dwing om stadiger te ry,” sê sy.

‘n Plaaslike prokureur en botsingrekonstruk-sie-deskundige, Philip Smit het Dinsdag op die kruising ‘n taxibestuurder agterna gesit nadat die bestuurder weggejaag het sonder om ‘n passa-sier se kleingeld te gee en boonop sy lyf en arm met die wegtrekslag gestamp het. “Die passasier het met ‘n R20-noot vir die R6 taxifooi betaal waarna hy met die kleingeld weggery het,” sê Smit. Hy het die besonderhede van die bestuur-der geneem en die passasier het die voorval bevestig. Smit sê die bestuurder is na bewering ‘n lid van die Polokwane Taxi Association.

Oor selfone wat gebruik word sê Smit: “Die bestuurder wat met ‘n selfoon praat se persep-sie reaksietyd word dieselfde as ‘n persoon wat onder die invloed van alkohol bestuur, geag. Bestuurders kan nie vinnig genoeg reageer wan-neer hy homself in ‘n noodsituasie bevind nie.”

Munisipale woordvoerder, Matshidiso Mothapo sê sedert Januarie tot einde Maart is sewe onge-lukke by die kruising gerapporteer. “Spoed is nie die enigste faktor nie. Onvoldoende volgafstande is ook die oorsaak van sommige botsings by die kruising. Alle kruisings moet versigtig oorges-teek word wanneer dit veilig is en motoriste behoort te weet dat hulle ten alle tye padwette en –tekens moet gehoorsaam.”

Hy sê die munisipaliteit is van plan om dreunstroke by verskeie gevaarlike kruisings, wat die Thornhill-kruising insluit, op te rig, maar kon nie sê watter gebiede prioriteit sal geniet nie.

>> Suspension has added to a total of four department heads being temporarily replacedYOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

While the Head of the Public Works Department has been suspended with immediate effect this past week the

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Great North Transport was also put on compulsory leave pending an investigation.

Chamaano’s suspension has added to a total of four department heads, comprising Education, Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) and Sport, Arts and Culture, having been temporarily replaced.

Premier’s spokesperson Kenny Mathivha

alerted the media about the decision by Premier Stan Mathabatha to place Public Works Head of Department Madidimalo Chaamano on precautionary suspension on Friday. He said the suspension would afford the province and administrators time to make further investiga-tions into allegations against the HOD. No acting HOD has been appointed yet.

In the meantime Barry Viljoen reports that GNT CEO Busi Mhaga was put on compulsory leave on Thursday to allow the group internal audit division of Limpopo Economic Develop-ment Agency (Leda) to conduct an investiga-tion.

Head of Legal Services at GNT, Sally Ledwaba did not want to disclose information that could compromise the investigation. She, however, confirmed that Tom Nkoana would be acting in Mhaga’s absence and reiterated the situation would not affect the operations at GNT in any way.

The community and stakeholder consultation drive of the 2014/15 draft Integrated Develop-ment Plan (IDP) and the budget of the next financial year started on Tuesday when Polok-wane Executive Mayor Freddy Greaver hosted the first session with traditional authorities at the council chamber.

The purpose of the session is to give feed-back to the stakeholders and the communities about service delivery issues raised and also about progress made with projects that are implemented in the clusters. During these ses-sions Greaver will present a preview of what the IDP entails and consult on draft rates and tariffs for the next financial year.

“It is a sign of respect to meet with tra-ditional leaders first so that by the time we meet with the communities our leadership have received information and gave us their input,” Greaver said.

Other stakeholders to be consulted include farmers, traditional healers, organised labour, institutions of higher learning, transportation sector, businesses, youth, disabled and other non-governmental organisations (NGOs), religious groupings and communities in all six

clusters of the municipality. Greaver was scheduled to consult with

religious groups yesterday (Wednesday) at Nirvana Hall after which he will meet with farmers on Monday at Jack Botes Hall. On 15 April he will meet with businesses, transport sector and institutions of higher learning and 23 April with NGOs, youth, traditional healers and the disabled also at Jack Botes Hall.

The first community consultation is sched-uled to take place at Mankweng Community Hall today (Thursday) followed by Sebayeng Dikgale on 9 April at Bana ba Thari and Seshe-go on 10 April at Ngoako Ramathlodi Complex. Legae la Batho, Mahlasedi Park and Exten-sions 71, 73, 75 and 76 will meet at Greenside Primary School on 16 April. Moletji will meet on 17 April at Moletji Community Hall followed by Molepo Chuene Maja cluster on 24 April at Tshebela.

The Polokwane cluster will be the last to meet at Jack Botes Hall on 30 April at 18:00. All meetings will start at 10:00 except for the Legae la Batho and extensions which will start at 14:00.

Communities are urged to attend the consultation meetings so that they could have their word heard and contribute towards development.

Outbreaks of public unrest in protest against poor or none delivery of services in Limpopo have been making headlines

recently with the latest being protests erupt-ing at Tickeyline village in Maake near Tzaneen on Sunday. The Police in Limpopo have noted

with concern the escalating public violence in Limpopo and have since issued a stern warn-ing to residents that such public disorder will not be tolerated. Hangwani Mulaudzi from the Limpopo Police said the most recent spate of public unrest took place on Sunday when members from the Tickeyline community took to the streets expressing their dissatisfaction towards the lack of service delivery and short-age of water by blocking the streets, burning

tyres and pelting the Police with stones and other objects.

Mulaudzi said many shops belonging to for-eign nationals were looted and vandalised dur-ing the protests, proving that criminal elements within the community are taking advantage of the protest actions.

This stern warning came after the Mayor of the Greater Tzaneen, Dikeledi Mmetle had to be rescued by the Police after the crowd

turned violent while she was addressing them. In the process members of the Police were pelted with stones. Police then had to use rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. Mulaudzi said a total of eight suspects were arrested on charges of public violence and will appear in court today (Thursday).

Mulaudzi confirmed that the situation in Tickeyline is still tense and members of the Public Order Policing Unit are maintaining vis-ibility while patrolling and monitoring the area to prevent further lawlessness. “Several roads in the area are still blocked but the R36 from Tzaneen to Lydenburg is now open. Members of the public are advised to avoid this road and rather travel to Lydenburg via Mica and Hoedspruit,” he said.

In a press release regarding the unrest, act-ing Provincial Commissioner Benny Ntlemeza vowed that the Police will do everything within their lawful powers to maintain peace and order. “We understand that the members of the community have the right to take part in peaceful protest actions as stipulated in the Constitution but the Police will never sit back and watch criminal elements taking over pro-tests to create lawlessness and anarchy.”

Ntlemeza further appealed to parents and family members not to allow their children to participate or take part in protest actions following an incident on Monday where a four-year-old girl was hit in the stomach by a stray rubber bullet. She was taken to hospital but later discharged after being treated for severe bruising to her stomach.

The Department of Health and Social Develop-ment is alerting visitors to the northern and eastern lowveld areas of the province to take precautions and ensure that they do not get bitten by mosquitoes. The safety measures include staying indoors from dusk to dawn, using insecticides and mosquito repellents and sleeping under mosquito nets. Following the recent heavy rainfall in parts of the province a number of cases of malaria were reported in the Mopani district, Ba-Phalaborwa and Greater Giyani.

According to Spokesperson for the Depart-ment of Health and Social Development, Macks Lesufi the province experienced a seasonal increase in malaria, with Mopani district most severely affected. “In Mopani, the municipali-ties affected are Ba-Phalaborwa and Greater Giyani. Since 15 March 2014, 111 malaria cases were notified in Ba-Phalaborwa and 132 cases in Greater Giyani,” Lesufi said.

“In these areas malaria transmission is seasonal, with cases normally at its highest during the summer rain season. During a nor-mal malaria season, the province experiences incidents of malaria at two different times. The first increase is normally in January each year. This increase is associated with travelling pat-terns and behaviour change during the Decem-ber festive period. A second peak is normally experienced towards the end of the malaria season, in March and early April. This increase is associated with the climatic patterns namely high rainfall, humidity and temperature. These factors are contributing to increased malaria vector mosquito breeding and the development of parasites in vectors mosquitoes,” Lesufi said.

Die DBV-verteenwoordiger, Le-Andrie Bezuidenhout sê die kompetisie word eksklusief deur Mall of the North en Polokwane Observer ondersteun en die wen-ners sal tydens Mall of the North se DBV Skou op 9 en 10 Mei aangewys word.

Reëls vir die fotokompetisie: Dit moet ‘n oorspronklike foto sonder veranderinge met die troeteldier as

fokuspunt wees, nie groter as 5MB wees nie, geen obskure of onwettige aktiwiteite bevat nie en slegs deur die fotograaf ingeskryf word.

Die vyf kategorieë vir honde: Werpsels–12 maande en jonger, beste hondepaar, bes-versorgde hond, eienaar-en-hond-ewebeeld en mooiste lelike hond.

Die vyf katkategorieë: Oulikste kat, opreggeteelde kat, verspotte kat (silly cat), beste paar en ‘n kat se beste vriend.

“Alle inskrywings kan elektronies aan [email protected] gestuur word. Die foto’s sal met ‘n verwysingsnommer op facebook en Polokwane Observer geplaas word. Om vir die beste foto te stem, word die verwysingsnommer na 34464 teen R2 per SMS gestuur. Inkomste word aan die Polokwane DBV geskenk,” sê Bezuidenhout.

Wenners sal volgens stemtotale aangewys word. Die topvyf foto’s in elke kategorie sal in Mei tydens die skou by Mall of the North uitgestal

word waarna daar uit elke kategorie ‘n hond en kat van die dag aangewys sal word. Die foto’s en wenners sal in die daaropvolgende uitgawe van Polo-kwane Observer verskyn. “Die skou beloof om ‘n opwindende twee dae by die inkopiesentrum te wees. Be-newens die fotokompetisie sal daar ook onder meer hondevertonings deur die polisie gedoen word asook gehoorsaamheidsdemonstrasies,” sê Bezuidenhout.

The local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has two ani-mals available for adoption, a crossbreed dog and a ginger cat.

An SPCA representative, Le-Andrie Bezuidenhout reminded interested people about the adoption procedure whereby an applicant must personally visit the SPCA to complete an application to adopt form where after an inspector will assess the application. The inspec-tor will notify the applicant whether the application was successful or not.

It is advised that the applicant as well as the family visit the SPCA to interact with the chosen animal. A R150 adminis-tration fee is payable prior to a pre-home

inspection. An adoption fee of R500 per dog and R300 per cat, minus the R150 administration fee, is payable after which an identification tag or a collar will be issued.

“Animals are taken to a veterinarian for the animal to be sterilised, vacci-nated and dewormed. The animal can then be collected from the veterinarian,” Bezuidenhout said.

Limpopo was a step closer to the 7 May general elec-tions when seventeen of

the twenty political parties with representation provincially and 29 nationally signed the Independ-ent Electoral Commission (IEC) Code of Conduct in Polokwane on Friday.

Party representatives gathered at Protea Hotel Ranch Resort for the occasion. The programme for the event included slots for ad-dresses on behalf of the provincial government, Section 9 institu-tions, the House of Traditional Leaders in Limpopo, the South African Local Government Associa-tion (Salga), the South African Human Rights Commission, the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the IEC.

Motsiri Ramafalo of the IEC in Limpopo said three parties – Agang SA, Inkatha Freedom Party and United Christian Democratic

Party (UCDP) – did not show up for the signing of the code of conduct, whereas the remain-ing 17 with representation in the province all signed the pledge.

According to the official IEC timetable, Tuesday was the cut-off date for objections to candidates with the next deadline thereafter being Monday, which is D-day for Commission decisions on objections to candidates and also serves as opening date for the submission of special votes’ applications at local IEC offices of which the deadline is 17 April. The following three days are expected to be set aside for appeals to the Electoral Court against Commis-sion decisions with regards to candidate objections. The date of 15 April is the deadline for the Electoral Court decisions on any appeals.

On 22 April the IEC is expected to issue final lists of parties and candidates contesting the elec-tions and to issue certificates to parties two days later.

By die Noordelike Landbouskou wat vanjaar vir die tweede keer aangebied word, sal bene-wens ‘n groot aantal aktiwiteite soos kompeti-sies en opvoedkundige geleenthede, ook hoë kwaliteit plaasdiere gesien kan word.

Die voorlopige program is slegs ‘n druppel in die emmer van die landbou-aktiwiteite en -uitstallings wat vanjaar weer saam met die jaarlikse Polokwane Skou en Musiekfees van 28 tot 31 Mei aangebied word.

Die organiseerder, Le-Andrie Bezuidenhout sê die program is nog nie gefinaliseer nie, maar beloof om weer eens iets vir oud en jonk te bied.

“Besoekers kan onder andere meer as 500 boerbokke en Kalahari Reds onder een dak bekyk terwyl die Bosveld Boerbokklub hul jaarlikse klubkampioenskappe tydens die skou sal hou.”

“Ons verwag ook groot ondersteuning van belangstellendes wanneer dié klub op Saterdag, 30 Mei hul veiling hou,” sê Be-zuidenhout.

Die Bosveld Dorperklub sal ook by die landbouskou te sien wees met ‘n stalletjie waar verskeie demonstrasies soos skaapskeer gewys sal word. Brahmaanboere sal ook vanjaar hul trots in die skouringe kom wys terwyl Nooit-gedachter perde vir die eerste keer die skou sal bywoon.

“SABC 2 se Living Land in samewerking met die departement van landbou gaan ‘n opleidingsdag met verskillende temas met meer as 300 ontwikkelende en opkomende landbouers aanbied. Ons bied weer eens vir die jong klomp die geleentheid om hul vernuf tydens die jeugskou te wys in die vorm van inkleurkompetisies en ander aktiwiteite,” sê Bezuidenhout.

Sy sê die organiseerders beloof ‘n propvol program en dat die komitee baie opgewonde oor die verskillende aktiwiteite is. “Dit bly ‘n absolute voorreg om die landbousektor te kan ondersteun.”

Alhoewel daar reeds verskeie kampioen-skapskoue op die program is, is daar steeds uitstalruimte en stalle vir persone wat kleinvee en pluimvee wil skou.

“Solank iemand landbou in ons land bevor-der, sal ons alles in ons vermoë doen om dit moontlik te maak,” sê sy.

Bezuidenhout het haar dank teenoor besighede wat reeds betrokke is om die Noordelike Landbouskou se sukses te verseker, uitgespreek.

Landbouskou beloof weer groot opwinding

BARRy VILJOEN >>[email protected]

Verlede naweek was die plaas Snymans-drift buite Polokwane weer die tuiste van die vierde jaarlikse Mighty Men Bosveld-

konferensie. ’n Ligte reënbui het nie die manne se gees gedemp nie en baie nuwe vriende is gemaak, terwyl dit ook ‘n weersiens vir ou

honderd eposse ontvang het wat spreek van groot waardering van mans wat nie uitgepraat kan raak oor die verrykende ervarings wat hulle gehad het nie. “Dit was ‘n belewenis om die Vader so te ervaar,” skryf een.

Riekert Botha en Piet Jacobs was die hoof-sprekers. Botha, ‘n pastoor van die Vredendal Baptistegemeente het gesê dat die geheim vir enige standvastige familie en vreugdevolle ge-sinslewe onderwerping aan die gesag van God is, want daarin lê beskerming en integriteit. Hy het leiding gegee oor hoe ‘n situasie wanneer mens in God begin twyfel as gevolg van terug-slae, hanteer moet word en verwys na die geval van Johannes die Doper. Jacobs het beklem-toon dat mans weer hulle plek as voorbeeld en

hoof van hul gesin moet inneem deur onder meer ‘n voorbeeld van persoonlike netheid te stel. Hy het hom ook sterk uitgespreek teen die volksvreemde gewoontes soos rampartytjies voor troues en die uitjouery van die bruidegom tydens ‘n huweliksgeselligheid.

Joe Niemand en Franna Benade het die lofprysing saam met musikante van verskeie kerkgroepe behartig.

Die stigter van Mighty Men Conferences, Angus Buchan, het in ‘n boodskap aan die konferensiegangers gesê dat dit nou tyd is om die Here te soek terwyl hy nog gevind kan word. “Die uitstorting van die krag van God sal ons manne toerus om ons roeping as vaders in hierdie volk te volvoer.”

A woman who spent most of her time con-fined to a dilapidated wheelchair recently received a blessing in the form of a self-

propelled wheelchair from the hands of Maxi’s Polokwane Game Centre, Maxi’s Polokwane Checkers Centre and other good Samaritans who felt they needed to help make her life just a little bit easier.

Anita Blignaut, owner of Maxi’s Game Cen-tre tells how one of her good friends, Karen Koekemoer, brought Sylvester Matswake’s (30) plight to her attention after driving by the young woman every morning on her way to work. Koekemoer explained during the official handover that she saw Matswake daily pushing herself through the streets, uphill and downhill, in order to get to work. “My heart was breaking for her and I thought it impor-tant that my friends and I try and do some-thing to help this strong individual.” Blignaut, Koekemoer and other friends all donated funds towards securing an electrical wheel-chair for Matswake.

Maxi’s head office soon learnt of the chari-table initiative and decided to step in to help raise the last funds needed for the acquisition of the chair. A social network campaign was started to show their loyal customers how much they care by giving back to the commu-nity. Blignaut explains that during the month of February a contribution of R2,50 was made by Maxi’s every time someone liked the link of Matswako on their social page.

Matswako who was visibly touched by the gesture of goodwill said: “This gift of mobility has lifted the world off my shoulders.”

Sowat 60 PLS-leerders van ongeveer 30 ge-sinne van die skool sal die skoolvakansie en daaropvolgende maande baat by Solidariteit Helpende Hand se projek wat Vrydag 60 kos-pakkies en meer as R20 000 se Spar koopbe-wyse aan die skool oorhandig het.

Die geleentheid vorm deel van die Helpende Hand se nasionale voedingskema waarby ses skole – Pietersburg Laerskool (PLS), Laerskool Krugerpark, Laerskool Tzaneen, Laerskool Ju-lian Muller, Laerskool Vaalwater en Laerskool Marble Hall baat.

Volgens die uitvoerende hoof van Helpende Hand, Danie Brink het Solidariteit onlangs ‘n

R120 000-skenking ontvang wat aangewend word om Limpoposkole se voedingskemas te ondersteun. Die skool kan vir die volgende nege maande maandeliks kruideniersware ter waarde van R2 300 by Spar aankoop om die voedingskema te ondersteun.

“Die kospakkies bevat onder meer bevrore produkte, pasta, speserye, tee en aanmaak-koeldrank. Honger leerders kan nie konsen-treer nie daarom poog ons om elke minder-bevoorregte leerder se maag vol te hou om optimaal te presteer,” sê Brink.

Skoolhoof, Peet Bredenkamp het sy dank teenoor Solidariteit Helpende Hand uitgespreek en ouers en onderwysers aangemoedig om die organisasie te ondersteun sodat hulle hul dienste kan uitbrei en bevorder.

Vier kort toneelstukke met die tema Die Prinses en die Padda is verlede Maan-dagaand deur leerders van Hoërskool Pietersburg op die planke gebring.

Leerders het self, sonder enige hulp van leerkragte die stukke geskryf en die regie, musiek en dekor behartig.

Volgens Arouna van der Walt, koör-dineerder, kon elke groep wat volgens Aarde, Jupiter, Saturnus en Venus ingedeel is eie diskresie gebruik met die vertolking en inhoud binne die raam-werk van die fabel.

Die gehoor, wat meestal uit ouers en leerders bestaan het, het die vertolkings en vars banaderings tot die eeu-oue storie baie geniet.

Good news for motorists is that the diesel price decreases by 8,8 cents per litre for 0,05% sulphur and 7,8 cents per litre for 0,005% sulphur with effect from 2 April, 2014. The Minister of En-ergy, Ben Martins, has also announced that the Incremental Inland Transport Recovery System (IITRS) introduced in 2008 is repealed. This levy amounted to 3 cents per litre and is scrapped due to the fact that the 712 km long multiproduct pipeline from Durban has been commissioned.

The price of petrol increases by 5 cents per litre for 93 octane and 7 cents per litre for 95 octane. The Single Maxi-mum National Retail Price (SMNRP) of illuminating paraffin (wholesale) and illuminating paraffin will decrease by

34,5 and 49 cents per litre respectively. Further good news is that the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will de-crease by 22 cents per kilogram (maxi-mum retail price).The Minister said in a press release that the commissioning of the new multiproduct pipeline is con-sistent with government’s programme to build new infrastructure that benefits South Africans. He also stated that the decrease in the price of illumi-nating paraffin and LPG will benefit households that use these products, especially as winter approaches.

Locally, the pricing formula of fuel includes fuel levies and the Road Ac-cident Fund levy, transport costs which result in different retail prices for different magisterial districts as well as the different production costs of fuel types. All these costs are added to the landed costs of fuel that are imported.

In search of a new vehicle, traffic congestion and the daily fast paced activities in the city’s central business area could become

challenging obstacles and does a potential buyer owe it to himself to visit Savannah Mall on Saturday when MGM Motors will bring all their vehicles to their customers for viewing and test driving.

In February MGM Motors opened a show-room on the lower level of Savannah Mall where they exhibit some of their vehicles available. The range includes Volvo, Peugeot, Citroën, Mahindra and the latest SsangYong models. According to Volvo Sales Manager Dirk Markgraaff, MGM Motors is renting the show-room on temporary basis and forms part of the dealership’s strategy to make vehicle shopping as convenient as everyday grocery shopping.

“We know that potential customers don’t like coming to the central business area as it is too busy and limited parking is available. With the showroom at Savannah Mall we are trying to reach out to customers by bringing the vehicles to a more peaceful area where customers can take all the time they need to consult with salespersons on the floor and to make a clear-headed decision on which vehicle The MgM Motors showroom at Savannah Mall hosts brands such as Volvo, Peugeot, Citroën, SsangYong and Mahindra.

to buy,” he said. Markgraaff said the showroom is manned

by professionally trained sales consultants dur-ing trading hours. “It is not only a showroom. The whole process from the application, preap-proval to the financing of the vehicle takes place at the showroom. Customers will not be referred to any of our branches as the sales consultants are trained to do valuation on a vehicle someone maybe wants to trade in,” he

said. He added that the showroom can rather be seen as a satellite dealership.

On Saturday MGM Motors will create the perfect opportunity for customers to get a better feel of the vehicles available. Shoppers will be allowed to test drive any of the vehicles while also standing a chance to win vouchers from Spur, Pick n Pay and Wimpy while Musica will also be handing out gifts.

“No matter the customer’s budget, we are

determined to put all customers behind the steering wheel of a vehicle of his or her choice. Shoppers are invited to consult with the MGM team on Saturday for an experience not to be forgotten,” Markgraaff said.

The showroom is open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 18:00 and Saturday from 09:00 to 15:00.

For more information contact Markgraaff on 015 291 9700.

Members of the Polokwane Police on Thursday visited the Association for People with Disabili-ties (APD)/Centenary House to discuss various safety issues and tips with the residents while showing that as well as fighting crime, they also find time in their schedules to aid those more vulnerable than others.

Lesiba Ramoshaba from the Polokwane Police accompanied by colleague Johannes Rametse, discussed various safety tips concerning crimes like theft, robbery, abuse, housebreaking, rape and various others forms of trauma inflicted through crime.

During the informative session held to en-sure the safety of physically and mentally im-paired individuals, Rametse explained in easy terms how to handle any situation relating to crime that they might find themselves in.

Polokwane Police reach out to the disabledRametse also clarified any issues or ques-

tions the residents put forth in layman’s terms, ensuring those who have the mental capacity of someone much younger than their physical age understood everything discussed. Some of the questions raised during the questions and answer session pertained to the lack of service they have experienced in the past, with Police officials not responding to their com-plaints. Ramoshaba ensured that in such cases, residents are more than welcome to lay official complaints at the Polokwane Police station.

Johnny Graham from APD says, on behalf of APD and the residents who attended the ses-sion that they are all grateful for the interest shown by the Polokwane Police in ensuring the safety of handicapped people in Polokwane. “Together with the Police we will now be able to make some of these residents feel much safer and know how to protect themselves or handle situations of crime.”

Already in its eighth year of existence Ngwana Baby House continues to be grateful for the helping hands so willingly reaching out to the infants in its care. This was also the case on Thursday afternoon when some good Samari-tans went for a visit.

The Public Servants Association of South

Africa (PSA) in Limpopo donated five baby basinets to Ngwana Baby House for unwanted or abandoned babies. The PSA which is rec-ognised as the second largest trade union in the public service sector realised the need to become more involved in social responsibility activities and annually assists needy commu-nities as well as local welfare and charitable organisations. Provincial Manager of PSA Lim-popo, Pieter Koen says Ngwana Baby House

is doing tremendous work in Limpopo in taking care of babies while having very little resources at their disposal. “We decided to show our support by donating these basinets that will be used for the youngest babies, ranging from birth to around four-months-old,” Koen said.

An auction of another kind took Pietersburg Club by storm when Bernina

and the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) held their highly anticipated Bra Auction on Wednesday evening to raise funds for their outstanding bail amount owed from the Jail n Bail which took place recently.

Auctioneer par excellence Aggie Ströh ensured the unique pieces of art work, including an edible bra which drew much interest, went under the hammer for no less than their worth. Ria du Plessis, Cansa Community Mobiliser says she is very proud of all the businesses and the individuals who took part in the auction as the fund-raising initiative was a surprisingly huge success.

A monetary ball-park figure can be given to the public for

now after more than R30 000 was raised by the auctioneering of the undergarments. Du Plessis says the most expensive bra was made by Exclusive Proper-ties and bought by Francois Goosen and Ströh for R1 050. “After much deliberation it was decided that Exclusive Proper-ties could buy the bra back from the two men, as they would love to frame the bra and hang it in their offices.” The second most expensive bra for the evening was grabbed up by Arnold Ven-ter from Netwerk Makelaars who paid R1 000 for the brassiere. The edible bra sold for a stag-gering R1 000.

Cansa Polokwane and Bernina thanked Netwerk Makelaars, Ströh, Agrochem, Medi+car, Exclusive Properties, Macgyver Autoshop, Pietersburg Club, The Goose Wines, Debbie Mouton Jewellers, Polokwane Flower Em-porium and House of Finesse.

“My gestremdheid kry my nie onder nie,” sê Johnny Graham in sy rystoel waar hy in sy kantoor by die Vereninging van Persone met Gestremdhede (VPG) sy dagtaak verrig.

Graham is sedert sy matriek-jaar in ‘n rystoel nadat hy geval en sy linkerarm- en been en bladbeen gebreek het. Hy ly aan osteoge-nesis imperfecta (ook bekend as “brittle bone disease” of Lobstein-sindroom) en is sedert 2008 heel-tyds by die vereniging se kantore as bewusmakings- en fondsin-samelingsbeampte werksaam.

Die boorling van Piet Retief het in 1998 aan die Meerhofskool in Hartbeespoort gematrikuleer en was ook daardie jaar hoofseun. Hy vertel trots dat hy die eerste hoofseun van sy skool was wat die voorafgaande vyf jaar ‘n matrieksertifikaat in die nasionale eksamen verwerf het.

Graham het in 2001 by die VPG as tydelike skakelbordopera-teur begin werk en van 2004 die

ontvangskantoor in ‘n permanente hoedanigheid behartig. In 2006 is hy as persoonlike assistent van die direkteur van VPG aangestel.

Graham hanteer onder meer projekte om die publiek, skole en ander instansies van die unieke behoeftes van gestremdes bewus te maak en maniere uit te lig waarop hulle volwaardig in die gemeenskap opgeneem kan word. Hy reël ook aktiwiteite soos praatjies en besoeke vir inwoners van die vereniging en is verant-woordelik vir radiopraatjies en ‘n stalletjie by die jaarlikse Polo-kwane Skou en Musiekfees.

Hy het sy rybewys vir ‘n ligte motorvoertuig die eerste keer geslaag en sy motor is met behulp van ‘n verlenging van die pedale, aangepas. Die langste rit wat hy met sy motor aangepak en self bestuur het, was na Makhado.

Graham se vriendelikheid en insig in die wêreld van gestremdes maak van hom ‘n rolmodel vir baie niegestremde mense wat toelaat dat baie geringer beperkinge hulle bestaan en moontlikhede negatief beïnvloed.

Johnny Graham ‘n inspirasie vir baie

Simon Mathebula of Aïda Real Estate, who has the sole mandate to market Rethabile Gardens, has launched a clean-up project

in Rethabile Gardens and Mahlasedi Park. Children of the area are briefed about cleaning of the streets and open areas and thereafter supervised by himself to take the plastic bags

of rubble to the municipal collection point.“I want the community of Rethabile

Gardens and surrounding areas to know that they have to keep the place clean all the time,” Mathebula said during an interview with Polokwane Observer. He reiterated that children from the age of three years should be alerted and educated about cleanliness of the environment and to put refuse in the supplied containers.

>> Everybody must help and we start with the children

Mathebula also intends to extend the pro-ject to other areas and by doing so, to make a contribution towards a clean South Africa.

Aïda targets first time buyers by providing affordable building packages to middle class earners.

Living Limpopo>>

A girl’s voice rings out>> Among them is one more vocal in its projection than the others>> Hers is a passionate plea for change in behaviourYOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

The lounge of well-known local musician Gilbert Malotane’s house in the quiet neigh-bourhood of Blood River is a cool space where cordial Saturday morning conversation is inter-rupted by young girls’ voices sweeping in from outside. Among them is one more vocal in its projection than the others... that of Malo-tane’s 13-year-old granddaughter, Nthabiseng Mokoena-Malotane who is Childline Limpopo’s Young Ambassador.

The Taxila Combined School learner grips the visitor’s attention with a poem about being African. Through her poetry, normally produced by teachers or family members, she eloquently speaks out on child abuse and thus far has touched local audiences with the mes-sage she renders. Hers is a passionate plea for change in behaviour.

Since the start of her reign in November last year, the young Nthabiseng has been accustomed to taking to the stage to speak to her peers and elders about a growing scourge attacking the children of the world and at home in her own province. She comes from a family tree of performing music mak-ers and educators, therefore her inclination to be on stage runs through her veins. With words so freely spoken, Nthabiseng intends to raise awareness of an evil that also held her community in its grip and is dedicated to fundraising on behalf of Childline in Limpopo. Nthabiseng explains she has fallen in love with poetry since an introduction in 2010 and in the meantime joined Cheranyane Cultural Group, made up of nine young members who participate in performances marking special occasions when they address a variety of topics.

Her first appearance coincided with the celebration of the birthday of Premier’s wife Maggie Mathabatha at Boiketlo Primary School in Seshego’s Zone 3 and the launch of the 16 days of activism against the abuse of women and children as well as Childline’s anti-child abuse campaign last year.

With Martha Tladi, Childline Limpopo fun-draiser and First Lady’s Charity Trust mem-ber known for her benevolence displayed towards the people of the province for many years, as her mentor Nthabiseng is bound to achieve her dream of reaching out to larger audiences in future. Among the activities planned to benefit Childline Limpopo this year is a white balloon campaign involving children from all districts across the prov-ince, explains Tladi.

Outside, the settlement has woken up to the usual Saturday activities. A passing vehicle fitted with a megaphone summons prospective followers to join a parish gather-ing. A man driving donkeys refuses to stop for a photo containing elements of a rural backdrop true to the environment Nthabiseng hails from. Accompanying his doubtful actions is an explanation that he could fear possible consequences for probably mistreating the animals in his care.

Two women passing by on foot and all dressed up in traditional attire are eager to hurriedly pose with the young star. They are on their way to a wedding nearby. As she has thus far done on public podiums, she attracts attention in the dirt road. Surely hers is a voice that will still carry well for time to come.

For securing Nthabiseng’s presence at a public gathering, phone Tladi on 082 498 1786.

Enrolment for the Bachelor of Account-ing Science (BAccSc) programme at the University of Limpopo’s (UL) School of

Accountancy has shown a satisfactory increase since the establishment of the school.

This according to the school’s Director, Cosmas Ambe who addressed a media briefing last Thursday, preceding the 4th Vice-Chan-cellors Accountancy Students Top Achievers Awards that was held yesterday (Wednesday). Founded in 2010 the school only started offer-ing the degree independently in 2012 with an enrolment of 1 239 students, a number that has steadily grown to 1 705 this year.

Addressing the media Ambe said for the past five years the School of Accountancy has been a training ground for students in Ac-counting. “Amongst its milestone achievements are that, in October 2011, the University of

Limpopo through its School of Accountancy be-came one of the first historically disadvantaged universities to be accredited by the South Afri-can Institute of Charted Accountants (SAICA) to offer a Bachelor of Accounting Science degree independently. The SAICA accreditation provided Limpopo and its rural students with access to quality education and an opportunity to qualify as chartered accountants. We are happy with the figure and would like to see more students in the profession,” Ambe said.

He further added that, although Account-ancy is often regarded as a difficult subject, a financial incentive may be a potential catalyst to spur interest and effort in the academic performance of Accountancy students and may accordingly attract the interest of high school learners in registering for an Accountancy de-gree in a university that operates such a cash incentive programme.

tive is now stronger than ever with efforts to save energy observed in more than 162 countries and 7 000 cities. The symbolic hour has grown into the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment.

Lotto celebrates 14th birthday at Mall of the North RC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

In a nationwide promotion in which the National Lottery celebrated their 14th birthday, visitors to Mall of the North were also given the chance to enter for the recent draw in which R40 million was up for grabs.

Promoters created a cheerful atmosphere in the parking area handing out lottery tickets encouraging people to participate in Saturday’s draw. Shoppers also indulged in a massive cake served as part of the celebrations.

The National Lottery’s website revealed that two lucky persons had all six numbers correct and won R20 million each. Earlier in March the National Lottery gave away R10 million and R20 million in respective draws as part of their birthday celebrations.

To date the Lotto managed to turn 1 164 people into millionaires with more than 90 mil-lion people sharing in the different dividends.

“Let us stand together to make of our world a sustainable source for our future as human-ity on this planet,” the late Nelson Mandela is quoted to have said during an earlier Earth Hour event.

This year the entire world again witnessed as the Earth Hour phenomenon, in its eighth year, swept across the planet as 2014 broke all records of mass participation with millions of people becoming everyday super-heroes for the planet. Even in South Africa millions of people were motivated by Mandela’s words to join in the yearly commitment to planet earth to switch off all unessential lights and equip-

area and back offices,” she said. Pick n Pay stores across South Africa also

went dark on Saturday evening. Pick n Pay committed to the initiative and switched off all lights, including signage, at stores and regional offices nationwide. Only security lights which use minimal energy were switched on for security reasons.

in the day, joined the occasion to pay tribute to the stars within the department. Introducing Masoga Head of Department Hanli du Plessis praised the MEC for turning around the depart-ment from zero to hero in the short period he has been at the helm.

The DRT won one platinum and two gold awards for the best service delivery at the Premier’s Excellence Awards last Friday. Earlier this month two drivers from the department, Titus Maphanga and Johnny Mdebuka scooped the top two awards at the National Driver of the Year competition. Both will go on to repre-sent Limpopo and the country in the upcom-ing international competition in Poland during August.

In his tribute to the individuals and various teams that helped the DRT to win the awards, Masoga said that everybody in the department must strive for excellence. He praised everyone involved at the department for their assistance in turning around the bad image of the DRT which was the first of five local government departments to fall under national intervention to one of the best performing departments in Limpopo.

“I am proud to have been part of the team that has turned around the fortunes of the department. In the short period of time that I have been MEC, everybody including the na-tional intervention team has worked extremely hard to make us a shining example to other provincial government departments,” Masoga said with pride.

He added that irrespective of what happens after the National Election in May, he can leave the department without having to look over his shoulder, knowing he has served with pride and dedication in helping to get the DRT back on the right track.

The shining stars at the Department of Roads and Transport (DRT) were honoured for their hard work in helping the department to win a number of awards recently at a gala dinner at the Pietersburg Club last Tuesday evening.

The Limpopo structure of the South African National Military Veterans Association (SANMVA) elected its new Provincial Com-

mittee during a conference held in Polokwane on Saturday.

The newly elected committee consists of John Ngobeni (Chairperson), Lesiba Molomo (Deputy Chairperson), Liberty Mmela (Secre-tary), Phadishe Molokomme (Deputy Secrere-tary) and Mmutle Phasha (Treasurer).

Congratulating the new committee mem-bers Mmela said they must always remember that they face a myriad of challenges. “With their leadership talents we believe they will overcome everything. They will grow the as-sociation from strength to strength and we will rely on them for direction, professionalism, creativity and dedication in the reconstruction and development of our army,” he said.

Mmela also made a clarion call to the new leadership to serve the organisation with dis-tinction and commitment.

SANMVA was established as a non-profit organisation in terms of Section 7 of the Military Veterans Act, No 18 of 2011 with 86% shares held by SANMVA Trust and 14% by the SANMVA Management Services. The ultimate beneficiaries of SANMVA are the South African Military Veterans as defined in the Act.

The enactment of the Military Veterans Act of 2011 ensures that members of SANMVA benefit from government services.

Een en twintig rugbyspelers van Curro Heuwelkruin toer tans in Argentinië om waardevolle blootstelling te kry en erva-

ring op te doen. Vanmiddag (Donderdag) word die derde

wedstryd op skoolvlak teen die Club Curupayti-span gespeel.

Die toergroep het verlede Vrydag vertrek en gaan in die Duomi Hotel in Buenos Aires tuis. Volgens Heuwelkruin se uitvoerende hoof, Eben Lingenfelder is dit nie net ‘n rugbytoer

nie, want die spelers kry terselfdertyd die geleentheid om dele van die land te besigtig, die daaglikse aktiwiteite van ‘n eg Argentynse beesplaas te ervaar en groot inkopiesentrums te besoek. Die span het Maandag na San Pe-dro gereis waar hulle die eerste wedstryd van die toer teen Tiro Federal San Pedro gespeel het. Dinsdag het hulle teen die Old Resian-span van Atletico de Rosario in Accaria Rosario te staan gekom.

Met hul terugkeer sal die span môre (Vry-dag) in Sao Paulo, Brasilië spandeer voordat hulle vroeg Saterdagoggend op eie bodem verwag word. Uitslae sal later verskyn.

Kruinies se rugbyspan toer in Argentinië

FOtO: RC MyBuRgh Die saamgestelde rugbyspan van Curro Heuwelkruin wat tans in Argentinië toer is Wessel Pretorius, Takkies Esterhuizen, Ludwig Bouwer, Jaco van Wyk, Mauritz Pretorius en Nichardt van Niekerk. In die middel is Grey Milne, Renier Gerber, Divan Gerber, Ross Pretorius, Wernich Kachel-hoffer (kaptein), Jarrod Kenmiur en Hanco van Staden.

Limpopo Softball Association (LSA)’s Su-per League Cup will resume at Moletlane Softball grounds on Sunday. This follows a month-long break of preparation and partici-pation in the South African National Softball Championships held in Cape recently.

LSA Spokesperson Matome Lebea said during the association’s general council meeting held in Seshego on Sunday it was decided that the Super League Cup should be played to its finish soon. “We resolved that the Super League Cup should be final-ised by 13 April and the league programme by the end of April. The club officials made a commitment that they will ensure that they attend all their outstanding matches. We stopped all the competitions and league matches to allow provincial team selectors an

ample time to prepare for the provincial team for national championships,” Lebea said.

He added that the main focus of the weekend matches will be the battle between long-time enemies Mahwelereng Spikes and Lebowakgomo Wild Beasts who will face each other at 13:00.

Spikes will start their programme of the day against Mamaolo Rebels at 10:00 before they play Sekhukhune Sweepers in their second match ahead of the clash against Wild Beasts. “Moletlane Texas silver medal-list coach Mamphiri Sethosa will have an opportunity to put into practice the national level experience against Sekhukhune Sweep-ers and Naledi Spiders,” Lebea said.

>> Tournament only for regis-tered Mercedes owners>> Magnificent Mercedes SLK not won at 16th holeWaRREn Blunt>>[email protected]

The regional round of the annual Mer-cedes Trophy was held at the Polok-wane Golf Club on Friday and was

well-supported by local golfers who are also Mercedes owners.

This is the 25th year that the popular event was held worldwide with a team from South Africa coming out tops last year.

In order to play in the prestigious tourna-ment a golfer had to be a registered Mercedes passenger vehicle owner and have an official golf handicap from Golf South Africa.

As an added incentive on Friday, Mercu-rius Motors Polokwane had a Mercedes SLK sports car up for grabs to any golfer that could achieve a hole-in-one at the short par 3 sixteenth hole.

Luckily for the sponsors nobody managed to win the car.

Friday’s tournament had three winners in three different handicap categories with all the winners going on to play in the next round of the tournament at Mauritius in August.

The winners in Mauritius will represent South Africa at the finals in Germany at the end of the year.

Duane Viljoen was the winner of the A-division. Joe Mackays took the honours in the B-division by four points with Tleane Mat-sobane coming out on top in the C-division.

Many other exciting prizes sponsored by Mercurius Motors Polkwane were also won on the day.

Twee van die stad se jongste ren-jaers, Roean (10) en Roelien (13) van Breda het Vrydag vir leerders van Pietersburg Laerskool (PLS) ‘n klein voorsmakie gegee van wat met die naweek se Polokwane Oval Klubkampioenskappe verwag kan word.

Leerders kon tydens pouse die kragtige voertuie van nader beskou terwyl vlaggies en plak-kers uitgedeel is. Hulle het ook hul steun aan Roean en Roelien, wat beide aan die kampioenskap deelneem en giftige teenstanders is, gegee. Roean jaag sedert 2012 en Roelien gaan aan haar tweede kompetisie deelneem.

Polokwane Oval-promotor, Stephan Weideman se hulle poog om ‘n liefde vir motorsport onder jongmense te kweek deur die

motors by skole uit te stal sodat leerders hulle van nader kan beskou en die geleentheid het om vrae te vra.

“Spoedvrate kan Saterdag groot aksie op die ovaalbaan verwag. Die geleentheid sorg altyd vir ‘n gesellige samekoms van toeskouers terwyl renjaers sake op die baan uitspook. Toeskouers kan weer uitsien na kompete-rende rondtes tussen die renjaers in die beginnersklas sowel as die 2,0 liter gemodifiseerde-afdeling. Sommige renjaers sal na ‘n lang tyd weer op die baan te sien wees nadat hulle weens reën nie aan die onlangse streekkampioen-skappe kon deelneem nie.” sê hy.

Die hekke open om 12:00 waarna die resies om 17:00 begin. Eet- en drinkgoed word te koop aangebied.

After the matches against the Pu-mas and the Lions in Polokwane, the Assupol Limpopo Blue Bulls play their last match in the competition against the Vodacom Blue Bulls in Pretoria on 25 April.

On Saturday the Assupol Limpopo Blue Bulls were outplayed by a ram-pant Valke side in their North Section

Vodacom Cup clash at the DP de Vil-liers Stadium in Sasolburg, to lose by 14-65. The half-time score was 24-14 in the hosts favour. The match was evenly balanced at the break, but the Valke scored seven more tries in the second half to record their first victory of the season.

Prop Thulani Mathonsi and left wing Koning Janse van Rensburg scored tries for Limpopo with flyhalf, Andy Huysamen adding the two con-versions. Limpopo still has to record their first victory in the competition

and will be hoping for a better perfor-mance against the Pumas at home on Saturday.

Entrance for Saturday’s match is free of charge and Below Zero are giving away free fruit juices to the first 1 000 spectators. Van Wyk has urged Limpopo’s rugby followers to come out in their numbers to support the team against the Pumas, who are on top of the log in the north section of the Vodacom Cup.

Gates open at 09:30 and the main match will kick off at 12:00.

South Africa’s top high school athletes were in action over the weekend during the hosting of the South African Schools Athletics (SASA) National Secondary Schools Track & Field Champion-ship at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

The Executive Mayor of Polokwane, Freddy Greaver opened the championship last Wednesday and the full pro-gramme of events proceeded without any major glitches from Thursday to Saturday.

Although athletes com-peting in Saturday’s finals were hampered by a few rain delays in the afternoon and the wet track and moisture made records hard to achieve by the sprinters and athletes competing in the field events, the middle distance runners enjoyed the thicker air and heavier atmosphere as a result of the wet weather.

The General Secretary of the SASA Executive Commit-tee, Peppi Olevano said two national records were broken in the u.15 boys 100 m and u.17 girls 3 000 m walk events.

Thando Dlodlo from North West ran the race of his life in the u.15 boys 100 m heats on Thursday when the weather was favourable to clock 10, 78 seconds and set a new South African record.

Gauteng won the most medals during the champi-onship with a total of 142, which included 66 gold, 44 silver and 42 bronze medals.

Polokwane City’s 1-1 draw against Free State Stars on Saturday has not in any way diminished their Head Coach, Boebie Solomons’ confidence in his team which cur-rently lies in 15th position of the Absa Premiership with 20 points after 24 matches.

With only six matches to go before the end of the season it remains to be seen if Polokwane City will avoid the relegation zone. In their last six encounters they face a daunting task against log leaders Kaizer Chiefs, Mpumalan-ga Black Aces, Maritzburg United, Moroka Swallows, Super Sport United and University of Pretoria.

“We are not scared of any team now. Perhaps if you asked me the that question at the begin-

ning of the season we would say yes we are, but now we are more experienced, determined and focused. The players know what is at stake; they understand the po-sition we are in within the league. I will be worried if the players were worried but they look more inspired to do well in the league more than anything else. With the kind of mood we are in, we believe we can avoid relegation,” Solomons said.

He pointed out that their focus is to do well against University of Pretoria at Tuks Stadium on Saturday.

“It is an away game. It is going to be tough as they are currently enjoying a good spell in the league. These are the kind of matches we need to win. We will be going all out to pick up points,” Solomons said.

>> Local beauty wears second princess crown with pride>> Mokoko will be spending some time in Limpopo to uplift the youthKESHIA J V RENSBURG>> [email protected]

Local beauty Matlala Mokoko walked away with the coveted title of second princess during the Miss South Africa 2014 pageant

held at Sun City on Sunday. A night epitomised by glamour and glitz saw

the 23-year-old Accounting student from Ga-Masemola in Limpopo taking third place in the most coveted beauty pageant in South Africa.

Mokoko currently resides in Johannesburg where she is a student at the University of Johannesburg, where at the end of last year she completed her B Com Accounting degree. She hopes to complete her honours degree in Financial Management this year.

Being chosen as one of the top three most beautiful women in the country is an achieve-ment Mokoko has welcomed with both hands. “Thousands of girls entered the pageant and I thank God for putting me in the position to be chosen as one of the top three,” she said during an exclusive telephonic interview on Monday morning with Polokwane Observer, mere hours after her crowning.

Mokoko says she is extremely grateful for the experience she has been granted in taking part in Miss SA 2014. Out of the many lessons Mokoko learnt during the build-up to the final pageant on Sunday. She says the most important of all is to know yourself, know when enough is enough and also know when you should be doing better. “Welcome the challenges in life, embrace them and grow from them.”

Mokoko explains that through the many challenges women face on a daily basis; she has come to the realisation that beauty is not enough to make it in this world.

“You need to be a hardworking individual or you will never achieve your goals or get to where you want to be.” She adds excit-edly that the biggest highlight on her road to being crowned the second princess definitely

includes meeting children at the orphanages visited by the beauties during the run-up to the crowning.

“It took me back to my childhood memo-ries of being a kid in the village, the games we played and the friends I made. Most of these girls I am still friends with today because we all went through the same things and faced the same challenges which cemented a very

strong bond between us.” Mokoko says it is important for young people to remember that no matter where they come from, whether it is the rural areas like Marogwe or the city, success is attainable if you work hard enough for it.

Making a success of your life is made easier by having the right people to look up to and admire. Mokoko finds it very difficult to pin-point one sole representative or someone she looks up to as a role-model. Instead she has a group of individuals, each with their own lessons to learn from and each with their own life skills to share.

“Basetsana Khumalo inspires me, she has furthered herself far beyond simply being a Miss SA title holder. Khanyi Dhlomo is another example of a powerful woman who strives to not only empower herself but to also em-power the lives of those less fortunate. Former president Thabo Mbeki is someone I feel I can learn a great deal from, he can walk me through the pages of history and at the same time give me wisdom to guide me through my future.”

Most of all Mokoko looks up to her mother and father who have, in her words, gone against the flow and stayed married after all these years. Her mother is a government administrator and her father is the principal of a school.

Mokoko says her love for Limpopo will never die and this is one of the main reasons why she aims at becoming an active ambassa-dor to local girls and young people by getting involved in more community projects and workshops in and around Limpopo during her reign as second princess.

“I aim to hold workshops and through this inspire the youth of Limpopo to believe that anything is possible and that I am living proof of this. Go forward in life always remembering these wise words to live by: The me I see, is the me I’ll be. Visualise who, what and where you want to be in life and work hard at getting to where you want to be.”
