The growing number of Polok-wane residents reporting theirwater bills to be reflecting

figures their water meters have notyet reached confirms allegationsthat Polokwane Municipality is fab-ricating meter readings and takingratepayers for a ride.Polokwane Observer saw

affected residents, Mr Tjol Lategan,whose water bill from a month agoindicates a meter reading that themeter has not reached yet.Lategan’s bill from last month

shows that his meter reading atthe time was 716 while on Tuesdaywhen Polokwane Observervisited him, it was only 697.Lategan, who has been experi-

encing the problem since last yearand has approached the municipal-ity several times and even writtento both the municipal manager andthe executive mayor with no effect,believes the problem is not themeter readers.“I have been monitoring these

meter readings and every time theycome to read the meter I approachthem and make sure they enter thecorrect reading and they do enterthe correct readings, the problemseems to be between when theysubmit to when I get my state-ment,” Lategan said.The effect of the exaggerated

readings is that ratepayers arecharged excessively because ofthe penalties are imposed whenconsumption exceed a certainthreshold.A number of accounts have

shown meter readings that wereeither too low, in some instancesshow that households used nowater at all or the meter readingswere too high

muni distorts readingsFrom page 1and therefore resulting in equally high penalties.Statements belonging to another resident

indicate the same meter reading taken sevendays apart despite the premises, being usedfor business purposes, being fully utilised dur-ing the same period.The Auditor General’s recent audit report on

Polokwane Municipality indicated that consum-er accounts were over-billed by more thanR53 million and 20 842 accounts did not recon-cile to the meter readings provided for auditfor the months of May and June 2012.Municipal Spokesperson, Mr Simon

Mokoatedi said there have been cases wheremeter readings were “estimated” but the ac-counts were corrected at a later stage.“Mr Lategan’s problem was a property with

5 flats but billed on one meter. The consump-tion was supposed to be divided by five be-cause of five units on property in line with theapproved tariffs. The corrections were doneand his account was credited after spreadingthe consumption over five units,” Mokoatedisaid of Lategan’s case. He added that the dif-ference in the reading was most likely becauseof estimation. “The readings will likely bedifferent if the meter was estimated, over esti-

mated or underestimated. But this is correctedwhen the correct reading is captured and orwhen the debtor brings it to our attention,” hesaid in an admission of the inaccuracy.Mokoatedi also advised residents to monitor

their own readings and consumption whenthey get bills.“Make sure that access is granted to the

municipality to read the meter as this shouldassist us to get the person responsible forwrong readings,” he said adding that themunicipality would debit or credit accountsdepending on over-billings or under-billingsdetected.

Preliminary investigations by governmenthas indicated that damage to transportinfrastructure caused by the recent floods

in the province is estimated at R317 millionTransport Minister, Mr Ben Martins said in ajoint media briefing with Roads and Transport(DRT) MEC, Mr Pitsi Moloto in Polokwane onTuesday.Moloto said Mopani has suffered damage

estimated at R123 million and Vhembe an esti-mated R122 million. Flood damage in Capricorndistrict is approximated to be R7, 9 million.Moloto and Martins had returned from a

two-day visit to asses damages in all districtsaffected by recent flooding in the north andnorth-east of the province. Martins said twodamaged bridges in Vhembe assessed by theSouth African National Road Agency Limited(Sanral) indicated that government wouldhave to spend at least R20 million there. Hecould however not tell when the damagewould be fixed. “The affected communities arelooking to government to address their plight.Government can attend to these needs only if

there are public servants who have their heartsand minds at the right place,” Martins said.Martin also said his department, which

took over the running of its provincial coun-terpart over a year ago, would follow up theimplementation of recommendations of thePublic Protector’s investigative report on thecontroversial Project Management Unit whichwas allegedly outsourced to partners of formerAfrican National Congress Youth League(Ancyl) President, Mr Julius Malema. “We willattend to the immediate corporate governancechallenges of Ral (Roads Agency Limpopo)and Gaal (Gateway Airports Authority Limited).With regard to Ral, we will second two officialsto fill the position of chief executive officer andchief financial officer in an acting capacity untilwe appoint their permanent replacements.We will also fill the vacancies on the board,ensuring the board has a full complement ofdirectors,” Martins said.DRT Administrator Mathabatha Mokonyana

said the department’s Project ManagementUnit might be moved back to Ral. He dismissedtalks that his team from the national depart-ment and its provincial counterpart do not seeeye to eye.


Polokwane Municipality may soon find itselffaced with a legal challenge instituted by Afri-Forum over suspicious electricity rates chargedto ratepayers two years ago.According to AfriForum’s Head of Commu-

nity Structures in the province, Mr Tiaan Ester-huizen, the organisation has filed an Promotionof Access to Information Act (PAIA) application

to have access to National Energy Regulatorof South Africa (Nersa)’s document which mayprove that the municipality charged consumersabove the required tariff rate in the financialyear 2009/2010.“We already wrote Nersa a let-ter about the information and if we don’t get itwe will file the application,” Esterhuizen said.He also said if found to be true that themunic-

ipality overcharged consumers, the organisationwould probably take themunicipality to court tohave the overcharged accounts credited.

“Our legal team would be handling what wedo with the municipality if our suspicions aretrue and if Nersa doesn’t give us the docu-ments,” he said.Nersa Spokesperson, Mr Charles Hlebela

said municipalities also face possible penal-ties from the energy regulator. “There arepenalties that can be imposed if licensees arenot complying with their license conditions.However, Nersa encourage licensees, includ-ing Municipalities, to take corrective measures

in such cases. Nersa has procedures in placefor handling complaints. Complaints are to bediscussed and resolved with the licensee first,when a resolution is not found then it can beescalated to Nersa,” Hlebela said.At the time of going to print, the municipal-

ity had not yet responded to questions on thematter.

With a sword or two hanging over his head,and should the current political status quo bemaintained, Premier Cassel Mathale would beexpected to deliver his fifth State of the Prov-ince address next week.Next Thursday’s proceedings would follow

this evening’s (Thursday) opening of Parlia-ment in Cape Town. It should again be aplatform for the usual display of pomp andprotocol. The annual provincial event is habitu-ally not far from it when members and guestsshow off fashions and accessories when theymeet to listen to the annual State of the Prov-ince address being delivered. With the deadlineapparently fast approaching for the provincialexecutive of the African National Congress(ANC) presenting a report to the nationalstructure of the rulingparty on leadershipissues, Mathale isperceived to remainunder pressure. Thenational decisionshould determine thefuture of Limpopo’scurrent leader-ship and would beexpected to level thepolitical playing fieldin Limpopo.“It’s a matter

between the provinceand us. We don’treport to you. Theydon’t report to you.It’s not a mediamatter,” ANC nationalspokesperson JacksonMthembu said whenapproached for com-ment by PolokwaneObserver’s LesetjaMalope. ProvincialSecretary SovietLekganyane said hewas not allowed tocomment.In the meantime

it was learnt Mathalewould apparently bemet by the biggestpicket ever organisedby alliance part-

ner Congress of South African Trade Unions(Cosatu) in the province when arriving at theLegislature that morning. According to CosatuProvincial Secretary Dan Sebabi unions would,among others, demand the resignation ofMathale and his entire cabinet, specificallyCooperative Governance, Human Settlementsand Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) MEC CliffordMotsepe and Health MEC Norman Mabasa.Also impacting on the content of Mathale’s

speech is another hot potato; the fact that halfof provincial government departments remainunder administration.In his address the Premier would be ex-

pected to concentrate on, among others, thestatus of the provincial administration, financialrecord-keeping, local government affairs,education-related matters and the 2012 matricpass rate, health challenges, unemploymentand job creation as well as the crime rate.

Boere en grondeienaars in die Waterberg-gebied het hul kommer oor die moontlikeoopgroef-platinummynontwikkeling wat in diesensitiewe Nylsvley Ramsar-vleilandgebied be-plan word en waaroor Polokwane Obserververlede week berig het, uitgespreek en is diteens dat die besoedeling van die ondergrondsewater die grootste bedreiging vir hulle inhou.Mnr Ken Smit van Moorddrift Melkery het

gesê al die boere in die omgewing is bekom-merd oor die moontlike ontwikkeling en diebesoedeling van die ondergrondse water. “Dieomgewingimpakstudie moet behoorlik gedoenword. Indien daar nie ‘n volledige verslaghieroor uitgereik word nie, sal ons nie onskommer agter ons kan sit nie,” het hy gesê.Mnr Wayne Knight, ‘n plaaslike bees- en

wildboer en lid van die Nyl Aksiegroep sê sy

grond is ‘n hanetree van waar hulle die mynwil ontwikkel en sy voorstoep sal letterlik asvullishoop vir dié ontwikkeling dien. Hy hetsy ongelukkigheid oor die beplanning sterkuitgespreek.“Die Nyl vloedvlakte is ‘n unieke stelsel en

is waarskynlik die beste bewaar. Sou ons niedaarin slaag om die ontwikkeling te stop nie,sal die hele stelsel wat van suid van Modimollestrek, al die pad na die samevloeiing van dieMogalakwena- en Versterkriviere negatief beïn-vloed word,” sê hy. Hy voeg by dat sowat 400000 mense van dié water afhanklik is.Die woordvoerder van Limpopo se departe-

ment van ekonomiese ontwikkeling, omgewingen toerisme (Ledet), mnr Lucky Phosa sê hulleis steeds besig met studies oor die impak wat diebeplande platinummyn op die omgewing sal hê.“Ons is besig om die nodige inligting te bekomoor beide die ekologiese- en waterstu-dies ensal ‘n verslag uitgee sodra dit voltooi is.”

Kommer oor ondergrondsewater met beplande platinummyn


Sedert die stigting van die Welgelegen Ge-meenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF) was daar ‘n

duidelike afname in misdaad in die omgewingen word ‘n forum vir elke sektor in die stadaanbeveel.“’n Mens kan nie misdaad stop sit nie. Dit

verskuif net na ander areas sodra misdadigersin ‘n spesifieke area verjaag word,” sê Wel-gelegen GPF-skakelbeampte, me AntuanettePretorius.Sy sê in vergelyking met vier maande

gelede se syfers is dit duidelik dat misdaad inWelgelegen afgeneem het. “Ons is onlangsdeur die polisie ingelig dat Welgelegen semisdaadsyfer vir Desember die laagste in diestad was.Ons kan met vrymoedigheid sê dat ‘n GPF

funksioneel en effektief is en beveel dit virelke sektor of woongebied in die stad aan,” sêPretorius. Sy meen dat misdadigers op die langduur na ander dorpe sal verhuis omdat elkesektor in Polokwane met ‘n valkoog dopgehousal word.Volgens Welgelegen GPF-adjunkvoorsitter,

mnr Norman Brown was daar wel onlangseinsidente in Kapt van Damstraat waar daargedurende die dag by ‘n huis ingebreek is.In ‘n tweede voorval is gesteelde goedere in‘n inwoner se erf gekry, maar niemand het ‘nsaak aanhangig gemaak nie.“Ons is ‘n paar jong mans wat snags die

omgewing patrolleer waarvoor ons geen ver-goeding kry nie en ons eie brandstof en lugtydvoorsien. Ons doen dit om ons omgewing tebeskerm en misdaadvry te hou,” sê Brown.

Democratic Alliance (DA) Member ofProvincial Legislature (MPL), Ms MeisieKennedy was allegedly violently man-

handled and prevented from performing heroversight duties when she visited at a textbookwarehouse in the city on Friday.Shortly after being released by the security

guards, Kennedy told media representativesoutside the warehouse that she was manhan-dled while taking photographs of the thou-sands of books in the warehouse and that thephotographs were also deleted by the guards.“Plus minus 25 guards grabbed me and

wanted to push me out. They also took mydriver’s licence and ID and also the camera,”a clearly shaken Kennedy said while in thepresence of DA Education Spokesperson, MsDesiree van der Walt, Provincial Leader, MrJacques Smalle and National Spokesperson,Mr Mmusi Maimane who visited the provincespecifically to attend to the issue.Kennedy said she did not know why she

was ill-treated as she had introduced herselfand announced that she was there to performoversight work and was given access to the

premises and even the warehouse.The confrontation also caused police to be

called in to quell the situation but according toKennedy nothing much was done by them.According to Kennedy, the warehouse was

packed to the rafters with books which weresupposed to have been delivered to schoolalready.Smalle said the party was still going to

decide whether to press charges or not overthe matter.Smalle also said the party was in possession

of a list of at least 56 schools which had not re-ceived all their required textbooks on the day.Meanwhile Basic Education Minister, Ms

Angie Motshekga on Monday held a mediabriefing in Gauteng dismissing the DA’s al-legations that there were still schools withouttextbooks in the province. “The Department ofBasic Education has strongly rejected reportsthat some schools in Limpopo had not receivedtextbooks. The Department has provided proofthat the schools mentioned in the media re-ports have indeed received textbooks just likeall other schools in the province. The Depart-ment had a water tight system that ensured allschools received the required number of booksas per the data supplied by the provincial

department,” a mediastatement issued bythe department read.Efforts to get

comment from DBESpokesperson, MrPanyaza Lesufi aboutthe alleged incidentat the warehouseproved fruitless and atthe time of going toprint, no comment onthe matter had beenreceived.

There appears to be a tendency among roadusers to either ignore even the most basicrules of the road or simply interpret them tosuit their own immediate needs.One such an example is that of a tow truck

driver who on Saturday, much to the surpriseof this reporter and the annoyance of manyfellow road users, stopped his vehicle in themiddle of an intersection to facilitate right ofway for a funeral procession.The driver blatantly stopped his yellow

tow truck centre in the intersection of NelsonMandela Drive and Marshall Street to help theprocession pass. The vehicle had barely cometo a standstill when the passenger got outand immediately started regulating the traffic.While some motorists slowed down others sim-ply ignored his directions and instead obeyedthe traffic light. This created opportunity foraccidents as the funeral goers continued tokeep on driving as well. Luckily no incidentoccurred but it was nevertheless a potentiallydangerous situation.“No one is allowed to regulate the traffic

except a traffic or Police official. It is againstthe law to block an intersection or obstructtraffic in any way,” Polokwane Municipal

Spokesperson, Ms Noko Lebea said in answerto our enquiry.Mr André Pretorius, Head of Traffic in

Polokwane strongly condemned motorists whoregulate traffic during a procession.He made it clear that no one is allowed to

block an intersection in order to give a proces-sion have right of way. In the case of funeralshe explained: “Either the undertaker or thefamily will have to arrange with the trafficdepartment to accompany the procession.If the family decides to handle the arrange-ments themselves they will have to visit ouroffices, provide us with the details and pay afee of R300. If they cannot afford the R300 wesuggest that vehicles in the procession moveas close as possible to each other towards thecemetery. Vehicles’ headlights must also beswitched on,” Pretorius said.He further stressed the importance of

motorists in a procession obeying the normaltraffic rules at all time. “Should a traffic lightturn red, the driver must adhere to the signaland stop,” he said.Pretorius also stated that a person who

blocks the road or regulates the traffic can beheld accountable if an accident occurs.Lebea said that any illegal behaviour

observed on the road must be reported to thecontrol room at 015 290 2457/8.

only law enforcement officialsmay regulate traffic at all times

Senior officials of the Depart-ment of Education have beenwarned to prepare for a difficultyear ahead of the first group oflearners completing Grade 12 ofthe new Curriculum and Assess-ment Policy Statement (Caps)next year.The officials summoned from

the various districts and circuitsacross the province attendeda meeting at Nirvana PrimarySchool on Thursday to discussthe analysis of the provincialGrade 12 results for 2012.A presentation by the depart-

ment indicated that the prov-

ince’s matric results have alwaysdeclined with the introduction ofa new curriculum and should nextyear’s results not do the same itwould be a first since 1996.The analysis further indicated

that schools in Vhembe districthave been the best performersin most years since 1996 withrecent results showing the districtto be the only one with an under-performing circuit.It also indicates that the low-

est pass rate ever achieved in thesame period is 31,8 % in 1997while the highest was in 2004 at70,6%.MEC for Education, Mr Dickson

Local municipal traffic officials were ready todown their tools last week if they were not tobe paid soon for overtime worked during theDecember holidays.Polokwane Municipality however man-

aged to pay the traffic officials on the sameday that a dissatisfied traffic official informedPolokwane Observer about their overtime

remuneration not being paid yet.The official afterwards said it was still not

acceptable as the overtime was supposedto have been paid on 25 January when themonthly salaries were paid. This did not hap-pen and traffic officials who sacrificed preciousfamily time during the holidays still got theshort end of the stick. Municipal Spokesperson,Ms Noko Lebea said the traffic officials werepaid but failed to respond as to why the pay-ments were made so late.

After only two months inhis new position as theHead of Department

(HOD) at the Limpopo Treas-ury, Mr Gavin Pratt has theunenviable task of drawing upthe budget for the upcoming2013/14 financial year to the

satisfaction of everybody in the province.In a recent interview with Polokwane

Observer, Pratt spoke about the financialchallenges facing Provincial Treasury and theroad ahead towards achieving financial stabilityin Limpopo. Born and raised in Polokwane, hehas a wealth of financial experience, havingobtained a BCom degree from the Universityof Cape Town. He qualified as a Chartered Ac-countant in 1992 and has been working for theprovincial government since 2001.Pratt has served under all three of Lim-

popo’s Premiers, Messrs Ngoako Ramatlhodi,Sello Moloto and Cassel Mathale. He wasappointed as the Chief Financial Officer at theOffice of the Premier for both Ramatlhodi andMoloto, before moving to the Internal AuditingUnit in December 2005 where he was the ChiefAudit Executive for the province. The InternalAuditing Unit is responsible for the finances ofall provincial government departments.Initially Pratt was reluctant to apply for the

position of HOD at Treasury because the job iscontractual rather than permanent. He decidedto take on the challenge after seeing the

new treasury hod comeswith tons of financial experience

Polokwane and Tzaneen municipalities andLepelle Northen Water (LNW) were awardedBlue Drop Certification for 2010, 2011 and2012 for quality water management. NoGreen Drop Certificates were awarded in theprovince.Lepelle Northern Water’s laboratories at the

Ebenezer Water Treatment plant is South AfricanNational Accreditation System accredited to con-duct independent tests in order to continuallymonitor compliance of the final water qualityproduced to Sans 241: 2011 requirements.The Green Drop results for 2010-2011 indi-

cate that municipal wastewater management inLimpopo is not in a good state and is not on parwith national benchmarks. Most of the treatmentplants have moved into high - and critical riskstate, which will require strategies and interven-tions of unusual nature, with resources to backup any plans.The regulatory opinion is that perfor-

mance of the province as a whole is weak, asreflected by the average Municipal Green DropScore of 24%. Limpopo is therefore positionedas one of the lower performing provinces onthe Provincial Performance log.Mookgophong and Polokwane Municipali-

position advertised for the third time. He wasappointed on 13 December 2012 and has beenworking closely with the National GovernmentIntervention team since then. He describeshis working relationship with the task teamas a good one and often uses them as a sounboard before making an important decision.The HOD admits that the Provincial

Treasury faces many challenges, among thesethe shortage of skilled personnel within thedepartment. “These skills deficiencies are cur-rently being rectified within Treasury and atthe departments of Health and Social Develop-ment and Education, before being rolled out tothe other provincial government departments,”

Pratt said. “Another important aspect is thecapacity to monitor the financial performanceof the other provincial departments and mu-nicipalities by Treasury and to strengthen thesestructures in order to deliver on the mandateset by National Government.”Achieving a clean audit at both provincial

and municipal level for the 2013/2014 finan-cial year is one of the key objectives for theProvincial Treasury. He expressed his concernwith the roll-over of conditional grants in somedepartments. He admitted to the shortcomingswithin Treasury towards achieving clean auditsfor the upcoming year. “Improving the coordina-tion and financial structures in municipalities is

currently being reviewed by a team of financialexperts. In future all provincial departmentsand municipalities will be held accountablefor financial mismanagement and wastefulexpenditure,” he explained.With the tabling of the new budget around

the corner, Pratt says it is important to tablea budget that meets the requirements of Na-tional Government’s strategic goals and at thesame time targets key areas of service deliveryin the province. With Pratt at the helm of theprovince’s finances, it seems if his steady handand astute leadership could well guide Lim-popo to financial prosperity and sound financialmanagement.

The new year has barely startedand already the number of rhinoskilled by poachers has reached81, with over sixty carcasses withtheir horns removed discoveredin the Kruger National Park (KNP)alone.Conservation authorities

throughout South Africa arestarting to express concern thatthe rhino poaching crisis in thecountry is starting to spiral out ofcontrol. Statistics reveal that in2012, a total of 668 rhinos wereslaughtered countrywide, morethan double the 333 killed in2010. If SA’s rhinos continue to bepoached at the current rate therewill be almost no rhinos left in tenyears time, according to wildlifeexperts.In the most recent incident

over the weekend, four poach-ers were arrested, three killedand one wounded by anti-rhinopoaching units from the KNP. BrigHangwani Mulaudzi, Head of Com-munications for the SAPS in Lim-popo said luckily no rhinos werekilled by the poachers, who werearmed with an AK 47 assault rifle,two .458 hunting rifles and pistols.However, one rhino horn was dis-covered amongst the other itemsconfiscated from the poachers.The poachers were spotted by

a patrolling KNP anti-poachingunit when they attempted to crossthe Letaba river bridge and whenthey were challenged, openedfire on the rangers. The rang-ers returned fire killing the threepoachers, wounding one, whiletwo managed to escape.A widespread search has

since been launched for the tworemaining poachers.In another incident three

suspected rhino poachers were ar-rested last Tuesday at the Nwan-edi Game Reserve in the Tshama-tumbu area of Limpopo. Rangersspotted the three men carrying ahunting rifle after hearing shotsfired in the reserve. When theyconfronted the suspects, shotswere fired at them.The rangers returned fire,

wounding one of the suspectsin the leg. The remaining twosuspects fled the scene and thepolice were called in to inves-tigate further. After follow-upinvestigations were launchedthe two remaining suspects werearrested at their homes at Mosodivillage in the Tshamatumbu area.An unlicensed 303 hunting rifle

was confiscated during these ar-rests. The three suspects appearedin the Mutale Magistrate’s Court lastThursday on charges of trespassing,the illegal possession of a firearm,attempted murder and unlawfulhunting.

>>Parents suspectlearner’s failure tobemalicious and spitefullesetja malope>>[email protected]

A learner at Masedibu SecondarySchool was allegedly chased awayfrom the school on Monday becausehis parents did not attend a meetingthey received no invite for.According to the father of the

learner, who preferred to remainanonymous, the move was part of theschool’s plans to victimise his child af-ter he approached the Circuit Managerof Polokwane to voice concerns abouttwo of his children failing the samegrade twice.”

“This after the principal of theschool made a threat to “sort himout”.“The principal refused to meet with

me so I took it to the circuit office andrequested the children’s memoran-dum, the scripts and the schedule tosatisfy myself that they failed on meritand were not failed maliciously,” theparent said.Three weeks after submitting a

written request for the documents,he had not received anything. In themeantime one of the two childrenaffected was sent home on Mondayand told “it was because the parentsdid not attend a meeting over theweekend”.However, during a meeting with the

parents on Tuesday, the teacher whoallegedly showed the learner the doorsupposedly admitted to forgetting to

inform the learner of the invite to themeeting.Masedibu is a no fee school and

the parents previously had badblood with the principal over unpaidfees before it was declared a no feeschool.Departmental Spokesperson, Mr

Pat Kgomo said he could only confirmthe complaint received. “We canconfirm that the parent has laid acomplaint with the Circuit Manager onsuspicion that his children failing mighthave something to do with thingsother than academic competence,”Kgomo said.He added that the department

was not aware of the learner that waschased away but said the matter wasunfortunate. “It is only the Head ofDepartment who has the powers tochase away learners,” he added.

bogus vehicle seller tracedPolice in Modimolle warned buyers of pre-owned vehicles to be ex-tremely careful when making such purchases in response to internet ormagazine advertisements.This warning stems from several incidents reported in the Modimolle

area involving a supposed seller of second-hand vehicles who pretendsto be employed by a vehicle dealer in Voortrekker Street, Modimolle.According to WO James Finley the dealer does not exist. He said the

fraudulent seller also claims a deposit before the vehicle can be viewed.Once the deposit is paid the given cellular number of the bogus dealeris disconnected and he disappears with the money.Anyone with information can contact Finley on 082 414 3218.Polokwane residents were also warned about a scam where people

will receive a SMS from a number similar to the one you get bank noti-fications from. It indicates a problem on your account and states that aconsultant will contact you. When the consultant calls they will confirmyour banking details and ask which model phone you are using. Afterthe conversation they will contact your service provider and perform aSIM swap in order to receive one time pins (OTPs) or random verifica-tion numbers (RVNs) to access your account.Another instance of reported attempted fraudulent activity involves

a man who attempted to pay for goods bycheque. According to the supplier involvedthey regularly verify cheques with the bankbefore allowing a customer to buy. Once thefraudster realised what was going on, he hast-ily left on foot. The bank confirmed that theaccount was closed in 2010 already.The name on the cheque is T.C Tladi’s

Transport (Proprietor Tladi Tebogo Charles).

Last Friday’s Polokwane PrimarySchools Cluster Athletics Champi-onships at the old Peter Mokaba

Stadium was once again marred bypoor organisation.However, organisers and officials

say the event proceeded smoothlywith only a few minor glitches. PeterMasekela, Secretary of the clustercommittee said changes had to bemade to the programme the Mondaybefore the event due to some eventsbeing omitted. Masekela added thathe is confident that tomorrow’s Capri-corn Primary Schools Cluster athletics

meeting at the stadium will proceedsmoothly as planned.Disgruntled parents told Polok-

wane Observer that last Friday’sevent started late and the programmewas rescheduled which led to muchconfusion among both learners andadults. Some athletes had to wait forup to three hours in order to partici-pate in their rescheduled events.In some instances, athletes had

to participate in two different eventsat the same time. To make matterseven worse, measuring tapes for fieldevents like shot put, discus and javelinwere unavailable to officials monitor-ing the distances achieved. Masekelaadmitted there were problems with

the non-availability of some equipmentat last Friday’s athletics meeting fromthe side of the stadium management.The chairman of the primary

schools circuit athletics and one of theorganisers of the meeting, Mr LazarusRasebotsa said he was unaware ofany serious disruptions at the event.He added that he had other commit-ments on the Friday morning and onlyarrived at the Peter Mokaba Stadiumin the afternoon after the meeting hadalready ended. Many irate parentscomplained after the event that all thedisruptions and bad organisation cre-ated a negative impression with theirchildren regarding their participation infuture athletics meetings.

Asevere end to municipalities whomisuse municipal funds and executivemayors/mayors who do not adhere

to proper financial policies to be removedfrom their positions. This was the messagefrom Premier Cassel Mathale during theSouth African Local Government Associa-tion’s (Salga) Municipal Finance Week heldin Tzaneen last week.“Good financial management is at the

core of good governance and account-ability which are values that must be usedto gauge our performance as we movetowards next year’s clean audit goals.Wasteful expenditure cannot be toleratedand there must be consequences forwrong doing,” Mathale said.He also stressed that the perceived high

levels of non-compliance by municipalitiesand the high occurrence and frequencyof qualified or modified audit opinionsremain a stubborn problem which needsto be eliminated completely. “We have noother alternatives but to improve on thequality of our services. Improved perfor-mance requires commitment from everyindividual in every level within municipali-ties to pursue excellence in the delivery ofevery single activity,” Mathale said.He also mentioned that in order for

municipalities to achieve a clean audit theymust appoint competent people at criticalpositions. “The filling of critical positionswith competent personnel is not negotia-ble. Filling of vacant positions must neverdivide municipalities or threaten theirmandate. We expect leaders to provideguidance in such processes and ensurethat the interests of municipalities and theendeavour to promote good governanceare not compromised,” he concluded.Provincial MEC for Treasury, Mr David

Masondo urged municipalities to spendtheir municipal infrastructure grants and

avoid over expenditure of their budget.“Many of our municipalities do not spendtheir conditional grants hence we returnedR81 million in 2010/2011 amount as theprovince. We can’t always repeat that poorplanning. We need to start explaining whywe have poor planning, and take concreteto correct this. The return of these grantsto the national fiscus simply means thatwe have returned infrastructure to provideservices to our people,” Masondo said.Mr Clifford Motsepe, MEC for CooperativeGovernance, Human Settlements andTraditional Affairs in his presentation onOperation Clean Audit 2014 pointed outthat clean audits can only be achieved ifcouncil plays its role in terms of oversight,if Section 56 managers prioritise clean au-dit and if under/unacceptable performanceis dealt with.Salga Limpopo Chairperson, Cllr David

Makgabe in recapping the first day re-ferred to the function of municipal publicaccounts committees (MPAC) which shouldnot be perceived as witch-hunting butrather as being a wing of council that aimsto achieve the objectives of the entiremunicipality through effective oversight.He further mentioned that salga will trainMPAC members and finance portfoliocouncillors. Magabe also alluded thatmunicipalities should plan to improvetheir revenue and debt collection fromdepartments. That will affordmunicipalitiesa much needed cash injection to improveservice delivery and boost confidence intheir ability to collect.“We are encouragedby the spirit of the Premier and MECs whosaid all departments must pay what is dueto municipalities,” Magabe said.Two municipalities, Waterberg District

and Mogalakwena were awarded in rec-ognition of their performance. Waterbergachieved a clean audit in the last finan-cial year and Mogalakwena was the onlymunicipality with an unqualified audit inthe province.

>>Volgens statistiek het agtmense in 17 aanvalle in Januariegesterf>>Boeremoet indringendnahul veiligheidsituasie kykben snyman>> [email protected]

Na afloop van die eerste maand van diejaar wil dit voorkom of 2013 moontlik opdie swartste jaar sedert 2005 afstuur wat

plaasmoorde en plaasaanvalle betref.Volgens die Transvaalse Landbou-unie

van Suid-Afrika (TLU SA) se statistiek het agtmense in Januarie 2013 landwyd tydens 17aanvalle gesterf.Die meeste voorvalle het in Gauteng plaas-

gevind waar vyf mense in agt aanvalle in diéprovinsie gesterf het. Die onbenydenswaardigetweede plek word deur die Vrystaat beklee,waar drie mense in ses plaasaanvalle dood is,twee aanvalle het in Mpumalanga plaasgevinden een in Natal.In Januarie 2012 is vyf mense dood in 11

aanvalle.In die hele 2012 is 51 mense in 141 aan-

valle vermoor, waarvan drie moorde uit 11aanvalle in Limpopo plaasgevind het. VanJanuarie 2010 tot Desember 2011 is 26 mensenet in Limpopo vermoor.As die tendens van Januarie 2012, soos dit

vir die hele jaar gerealiseer het, van toepassinggemaak moet word op 2013, soos blyk uit dieJanuariesyfers, sal sowat 82 mense vanjaar opplase in 218 aanvalle vermoor word, waarskumnr Henry Geldenhuys, adjunkpresident vanTLU SA en voorsitter van die unie se veilig-heidskomitee. “Dit sal die hoogste syfer sedert2005 wees, toe 115 mense op plase vermooris.TLU SA is dus nie verniet bekommerd nie.

In die lig van bogenoemde skoksyfers bly ditondenkbaar dat die nasionale polisieminister,Nathi Mthethwa en die nasionale polisiekom-missaris, Ria Pheega, steeds nie geantwoordhet op TLU SA se dringende versoek totgesprekvoering ’n jaar gelede nie.Die laaste wat van die minister gehoor is,

was ’n openbare tirade teen TLU SA enkele

weke gelede tydens ’n mediakonferensie,maar waartydens hy steeds geen aanduidinggegee het van wat hy van plan is om te doenaan hierdie onaanvaarbare situasie nie,” sêGeldenhuys.“TLU SA se lede wil deel van die oplossing

wees. Daar is heelwat voorstelle wat ons graagwil bespreek, veral om te help, maar dan be-hoort hy die geleentheid met beide hande aante gryp en ons nie te ignoreer of in die mediate vergruis nie.“Met die inligting van tendense tot ons

beskikking, waarsku ons boere weer omdringend na hulle veiligheidsituasie te kyk.Deel daarvan sluit die veiligheid en evalueringvan die betroubaarheid van arbeiders, veralwaar daar arbeidsonrus broei en boere reedsbenadeel is, in” sê Geldenhuys.

plaasmoordsyfers moontlikhoogste nóg sedert 2005

die maatskappy se lojaliteit en toewyding aansy verskaffers en kliënte bevestig, van stapelgestuur.Die program is geen gewone ‘jy is nommer

Sedert die kinderhof hul intrek einde verledejaar by die Polokwane Kinder- en Gesinsorgver-eniging se kantore in Jorissenstraat geneemhet, verloop kinderhoffunksies seepglad enword die maatskaplike werkers in die stad sewerk ook vergemaklik.Dié verskuiwing het plaasgevind nadat die

Polokwane Landdroshof in Oktober verledejaar afgebrand het en die landdros van diekinderhof, me Elizabeth Hurter ander kantoor-spasie moes kry. Hurter het nie op haar laatwag nie en vinnig ‘n plan gemaak.Die hof hanteer onder meer verlengings

van pleegsorg, plasings van sorgbehoewendekinders, aannemings en toesigregte.Kindersorg se kantore is nou ‘n toeloop

van ouers, kinders, prokureurs en advokatemaar Hurter meen dat die rustige atmosfeerhaar werksdag uniek maak omdat die omstan-dighede vir ouers beter as by die hof is met ‘nwagkamer. Daar is ook ‘n pragtige tuin en ‘nheerlike speelplek vir die kinders.Hurter sê dat sy sedert 1990 as landdros

by die Polokwane Landdroshof werk en datdie hoeveelheid sorgbehoewende kindersdie laaste jare afgeneem het. Sy skryf diépositiewe verandering toe aan maatskaplikewerkers wat hul werk behoorlik doen. Kinderswat wees gelaat word met onbetrokke pa’s nahul ma’s se afsterwe neem toe en dié kindersmoet in behoorlike sorg geplaas word. Sysê dat meeste van dié sterftes aan MIV/vigstoegeskryf word. “Dit gaan moeilik in informelenedersettings waar die kinders of aan hul eiegenade oorgelaat word, of waar die grootouersof ouer kinders hulle moet versorg,” vertel sy.Sy sê dat sy met moeite die kantoordeur

agter haar toetrek na ‘n besige dag. “Van diekinders se omstandighede bly jou by en jy kannie help om te hoop dat hulle beter af sal weesin die toekoms nie. Dit is egter beter om jouwerk by die werk te los om jouself te beskermen na ure op jou persoonlike lewe te konsen-treer.”

Kinderhof nou ‘nrustiger atmosfeer

soliloquy>>Rising against amonster called V

Forget the Valentine’s cards, the chocolate,the flowers and the smooth talk today. Keepit for any other occasion. There is somethingcompelling that demands attention; adheringto a call to defeat the monster called V (shortfor Violence) that is sweeping across the earth.Somewhere in the world communities are

mourning the loss of lives of women and girlchildren as a result of mutilating attacks. On aday reserved for showing affection, it makessense to show the love by joining scores ofglobal citizens in raising a joint opinion onmanifold isolated instances that have growninto a nauseating norm with riotous propor-tion. Because of that fact we have becomerather immune to news about yet anotherupsetting incident.Thing is, in our fast-paced world of express

existence another rape or violent attack is anadded statistic we don’t pay much attentionto. Until it happens on your block, you haveto stop to read a message posted on a socialmedia tool, see it on the front page or learnabout it on the evening news.In the run-up to Valentine’s 2013 there is a

news flash of an awakening initially originatingin New York containing a call to join 1 billionrising, a worldwide V-Day campaign demand-

ing an end to such demonic deeds. In thisinstance V is the letter in victory, Valentine andthe female private part. Quoting statistics ofone out of three women experiencing violencein their lifetime, the campaign drives the mes-sage home: if we haven’t been there yet weare just the lucky ones for not having fallingprey to some or other abuser.More than 1 billion women on the planet

would be victims thereof, it is believed. That isabout 19 000 times more than the total SouthAfrican population. Staggering figures.We had to come to terms with the knowl-

edge that we are not immune to violence. Itis a monster that is leaving many manhandledand maimed.When we do stop to give it a thought,

we have to admit subconsciously we shouldalways be living in fear of being next becauseit can happen to any of us.This thing called V is a monster with many

tentacles... If you are surrounded by non-violent male souls, you are fortunate. If youare hesitant to leave a violent man, no onecan judge you. If you are an attacker who maycome for me, may I have the inner strength tosurvive.So, today join many millions who are ex-

pected to dance, rise up and demand in a bidto bring an end to the violence against womenand children in the name of the V-campaign.

uit die Woord>>God laat liefde blom

Toe die jongman se ma hom vra of hy diemeisie vir wie hy die Valentynsdagkaartjiegegee het liefhet, het hy gesê dat hy nie weetwat die woord liefde beteken nie, maar dathy gevoelens het wat hy nog nooit voorheenervaar het nie.Sy ma het dit dadelik as verliefdheid

beskryf, maar oor haar woorde gestruikel toesy probeer sê wat liefde is en hoe dit anders asverliefdheid is.Op Valentynsdag hoor ons die woorde

liefde, liefhê, verlief en verwante woordewaarskynlik meer as op enige ander dag.In verklarings, liedjies en gedigte word opdié liefdesdag by geliefdes gekoer of wordprobeer om ‘n vonk wat ‘n liefdesvuur kanaansteek, te bewerkstellig. Naas die mensewat op Valentynsdag aan die wrede werklik-heid van ‘n beminde wat oorlede of ver is – ofwat nog nie opgedaag het nie – herinner word,is daar ook die wat die dag en dit wat daarmeegepaardgaan nie kan verdra nie. Hulle sê ditmaak liefde goedkoop.In dieselfde gesprek waartydens Jesus gesê

het: “Julle moet mekaar liefhê” (Joh 15:17),het hy ook gesê: “Niemand het groter liefdeas dit nie: dat hy sy lewe vir sy vriende aflê”(:13). Liefde was Jesus se dryfkrag en wordons opdrag. Soos die Vader hóm liefgehad het,

het Jesus mense liefgehad en moet ons andermense liefhê, sê Jesus (Joh 15:6-17; sien ook3:16). God se liefde vir ons het veral duidelikgeword in en deur Jesus se optrede. Johannesskryf dat God se liefde só openbaar gemaak is:“sy enigste Seun het Hy na die wêreld gestuursodat ons deur Hom die lewe kan hê” (1 Joh4:9). As ons mekaar liefhet “bly God in ons enhet sy liefde in ons sy doel volkome bereik,”skryf hy verder (:12).Net soos wat baie mense op Valentynsdag

baie oor liefde te sê het, het baie mense elkedag veel oor God te sê. Die verband tus-sen God en liefde is volgens Johannes baieduidelik: “As iemand sê: “Ek het God lief,” enhy haat sy broer, is hy ’n leuenaar; want wiesy broer, wat hy kan sien, nie liefhet nie, kanonmoontlik vir God liefhê, wat hy nie kan siennie” (:20). Om mense lief te hê behoort dushoër op ons agendas te wees as om oor Godte bespiegel en te praat.God laat liefde blom. God se liefde vir ons

laat ons ook liefhê, sê Johannes (:18). Meernog: ons hou op om vir God bang te wees enons is ook nie meer bang dat God ons moontliknog gaan straf nie (:18). Iemand wat vir Godbang is of straf verwag, verstaan dus nie hoeGod en God se liefde vir ons werk nie.Mag jy God se liefde vir jou ervaar. Mag

jy God se liefde in en deur jouself en andermense sien en beleef. En mag jy óók die lekkervan verliefdheid beleef.

Students of the University of South Africa’s(Unisa) Limpopo Region are set to benefitfrom a student centre soon to be con-

structed adjacent to the existing library.The institution decided to expand facilities

on the campus in order to relieve the conges-tion of students they were experiencing.Marketing and Communications Manager at

the University, Mr George Dire said the existingfacilities cannot cope with the pressure anddemand for space by their students.“The new building will therefore relieve that

pressure. The building will house student sup-port facilities such as computer laboratories,seminar and study rooms and an exam hall.

The site of the soon to be constructed Stu-dent Centre on the campus of the Universityof South africa’s Limpopo Region.

The construction is expected to commencesome time this year and expected to be com-pleted in period of 12 months,” Dire said.He also mentioned that over the past years

they have been receiving an overwhelmingnumber of applications at the campus whichprompted them to expand the campus. “Thoseare some of the reasons that prompted us toexpand the campus. This increase is attribut-able to the ever increasing demand for tertiary

education in the country.Other reasons are that residential universi-

ties cannot absorb all the numbers that needtertiary education, also that the issue playsan important role in students choosing Unisa,”Dire said.Last year the University had about 11 000

applications for the first semester and this yearmanaged to register 14 000 students for thesame period.

Agt hoërskoolleerders van Makhado enPhalaborwa is Maandag met vak- enloopbaankeuses gehelp toe me Annette

op ‘n suksesvolle toekomspad te stuur,” sê sy.Hul beroepsleidingsdiens behartig ‘n breë

spektrum projekte en inisiatiewe wat daaropgemik is om aan leerders ‘n hoopvolle toekomsmet die regte loopbaankeuses te gee.Die toetse sluit aanleg-, persoonlikheids- en

belangstellingstoetse en noukeurige evaluasievan elke leerder in voor geskikte beroepskeu-ses aanbeveel word.Sy sê die meeste ouers kan hul toetstariewe

bekostig. “Vakkeusepakkette kos R500 en pak-kette vir beroepskeuses beloop R695.”Haar opinie oor vandag se jeug is dat hulle

‘n maklike uitkoms wil hê wat die minimumleerwerk insluit waarmee hulle die maksimumgeld kan verdien. “Daar is nie ‘n maklikeoplossing nie. As jy geleerdheid wil hê, moet jydaarvoor werk,” sê sy.“Die toekoms van die jeug is vir ons baie

belangrik daarom wil ons hoop by ons kindersskep wanneer hulle aan hul toekoms dink enbeplan. Die beroepsleidingsdiens is juis geskepom ons visie van opheffing deur opleiding uitte voer en sodoende die armoedekringloopteen te werk,” sê sy.Sy nooi ouers om hulle te kontak sou hulle

belangstel om hul kinders te laat toets. “Ditis van kardinale belang dat kinders reedsop hoërskool weet in watter rigting hulle wilstudeer en ingeligte besluite neem,” sê sy.Vir meer besonderhede, skakel Taljaard by012 644 4390 of stuur ‘n epos aan [email protected]. Sodra daar ‘n groepvan agt of meer leerders is, kan sy die toetseplaaslik teen geen ekstra koste laat doen.

Volkswagen Polokwanelaunched the new Golf 7 onFriday evening with all the

glitz and glamour befitting thisnew stunning looking vehicle.The new Golf is more than

just a new generation; it’s anextraordinary revolution that isthe start of a new era for theVolkswagen brand. The New Golfis a rare achievement in automo-tive engineering and accordingto Volkswagen Sales Manager,Mr Wally Goosen every panel onthe Golf 7 was redesigned. “Ittook Volkswagen several yearsto complete this vehicle and theyhave definitely done well,” hesaid.The new Golf 7 is lighter,

slightly bigger and with expertlycalibrated suspension attachedto the MQB platform. As a resultit’s rather statelier to drive thanany other comparable FWDhatchback. Although the Golf7 is bigger and roomier inside

(thanks to the 59 mm greaterwheelbase), it manages to be100 kg lighter than the Golf 6.The longer wheel-base, shorteroverhangs and even moreprecise lines provide new, yetclassic design dynamics.Engines are the familiar fare

of TSI and TDI derivatives.There is the 1,2 TSI (77kW) butthe one to have is undoubtedlythe 1,4 TSI in perky 103 kW/250Nm trim. The latter is only avail-able as a six-speed manual soif you are lazy and prefer VW’srather accomplished DSGs, you’llneed to go for one of the lesspowerful petrol engines, or the2,0 TDi(110kW),which runsa six-speedDSG to rollthe frontwheels.The Golf

7 provides anew level ofcontrol andresponsive-

ness with a standard multimediatouch screen. The high-endtouch screen senses your fingermovements and reacts evenbefore you touch it. It connectsto your tablet or phone withease and has a wipe and zoomfeature for easy control.The interior is a triumph of in-novation but where the new Golftruly shines is on the road. Withan array of dynamic innovationsincluding Auto-hold, an Electron-ic Park Brake and Cruise Controlwith speed limiter, the new Golfis a pol-ished overachiever.

Volkswagen launches7th generation golf

The interior is luxurious witha touch screen multimediasystem to ease your drive.

>>Affordablehousing sector in SouthAfrica is showingpotentialfor growth

Although the South African econ-omy is expected to grow by only2,6% this year Nedbank remains

committed to affordable housing in thecountry.“Although the South African

economy lost significant momentumin the third quarter of 2012, it is stillgrowing and on a recovery path,” MsNicky Weimar, senior economist atNedbank said.Weimar said they expect the

economy to grow by 2,6% in 2013,3,5% in 2014 and 3,6% in 2015.She noted that household debt

remains high, but however gloomythe situation is, the good news isthat the economy will grow in 2013,albeit modestly. She warns consumersto remain cautious and watch theirspending habits as well to use 2013 tostrengthen their finances.In the housing market those with

access to finance should use this timeto buy as it is a buyer’s market withmany properties reasonably priced.Mr Manie Annandale, Head of Af-

fordable Housing Development andFinance at Nedbank said the afford-able housing sector in South Africais showing potential for growth withnew entrants buying homes more thanthey do in the traditional home sector.He added that despite the economicdoom and gloom, there will always bea need for housing.According to him income levels

and now with the new Financial Sec-tor Code, the threshold for afford-able housing has been increased toR17 600, an amount adjusted annuallyaccording to the Consumer Price Index(CPI) and building index.Homes that qualify as affordable

are priced below R550 000 and as thebank has to ensure that developerscreate enough stock to meet demandwithin the price range.“In some cases developers build

housing stock for rental purposes sothose not quite financially ready tobuy can still have access to decenthousing,” he said.According to Mr Jeff Lawrence,

Head of Affordable Home Loans Salesand Distribution at Nedbank, it is atough market and the big issue in thissector is credit worthiness and buyeraffordability.Lawrence explained that affordabil-

ity means the buyer can demonstratethe ability to repay the home loandebt and at the same time, be able topay all other living expenses withoutgetting into trouble.On credit worthiness, he said the

buyer’s records should show that hepays his debt on time, has no judge-ment and has enough income left over- and if this is the case, the bank doesgrant a loan.“We finance up to 100% loans

where a buyer has a good creditrecord and meets the affordabilitytest. Sometimes it happens that abuyer is turned down by a bank wherethey have high debt levels and seriousbuyers easily rectify the situation andare able to re-apply within six monthswhen their finances are looking posi-tive.” On whether the bank asks fora deposit when applying for a homeloan he said they encourage borrow-ing as little as possible and paying offdebt as quickly as possible.

49m Campaignhits seshegolesetja malope>>[email protected]

Minister of Public Enterprise, Mr Malusi Gigabaand Polokwane Executive Mayor, Cllr FreddyGreaver led an entourage of celebrities andhigh profile personalities during the provinciallaunch of National Government’s 49M electric-ity saving campaign at Seshego Stadium onSaturday.Addressing a capacity crowd in a marquee

at the venue, Gigaba said saving electric-ity needed a mind shift by each household.“Saving power is really about changing ourattitudes. By simply making small changes inour everyday life, collectively we can make amassive difference,” he said.“The ground work has already begun,

fellow South African. Both individuals and busi-ness communities have come together to sup-port the campaign. We are here today to callon this community to join us in our endeavourto strengthen these partnerships and help uskeep the country’s lights on,” Gigaba added.According to Gigaba, if the entire popula-

tion of the country, estimated at 49 million,could save at least 10% of electricity in theirdaily lifestyle activities, it would have the sameeffect as the country having a new powerstation.Before the event, the entourage went on a

door to door campaign to households aroundthe area where they also gave away electricalappliances.The campaign was launched nationally two

years ago and is aimed at encouraging com-munities to curb their electricity usage by usingenergy saving methods and appliances.

Aïda Polokwane en Protea Hotel RanchResort met opwindende pryse gesteunis.Skenkers het elk ‘n koelhouer met

van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale

Bloeddiens (SANBD) Limpopo sê hullevier elke maand Valentynsdag metskenkers wat onbaatsugtig hul deel virhul medemens doen en liefde daar-deur betoon. “Bloedskenkers maak ‘nverskil aan mense se lewens wat hullenooit eers sal ontmoet nie,” sê Pinn.“Ons het ietwat herstel na die

moeilike vakansieseisoen in terme vanbloedvoorraad, maar die situasie kanenige dag verander as ons nie onsdaaglikse limiet van 3 000 eenhedelandwyd bereik nie,” sê sy.Sy nooi veral persone wat aan

die A- en AB-bloedgroep behoort om

bloedplaatjieskenkers te word. “Bloed-plaatjies speel ‘n lewensbelangrike rolin bloedstolling en om bloedverlies tevoorkom.Die skenkingsproses duur sowat

twee uur waartydens die bloed deur ‘nselskeier gestuur word en die plaatjiesagtergehou en die ander bloedkom-ponente aan die skenker teruggegeeword. Dié prosedure stel skenkers instaat om elke maand te skenk,” sêPinn.Vir meer besonderhede of om as

“Ek moet spiritis aan my hart smeer sodatdie seer waarmee ek elke dag werk my nieverdrink nie,” sê me Christa van der Lindewat na nege jaar as maatskaplike versorgerby AGES weer by die Polokwane Kinder- enGesinsorgvereniging as maatskaplike werkeraangesluit het.Van der Linde was van 2003 tot nou by AGESas versorger betrokke voordat haar paad-jie weer teruggelei het na haar kollegas bykindersorg wat sorgbehoewende vroue en–kinders bystaan. Die afgelope 33 jaar is symaatskaplike werker en -versorger wat ook on-baatsugtige diens aan Hoop vir Kinders en dieKoningskinders gebied het. Sy is self pleegouervan een kind.Van der Linde is die afgelope twee jaar deur

diep waters in haar persoonlike lewe maar het‘n sterker mens anderkant uitgekom, meensy. “Ek het in die tyd geleer om myself op dieskouer te klop en te sê: Alles sal beter word enjy is ok.”Met haar terugkeer na kindersorg wil sy ‘n

daadwerklike verskil aan die stad se vroue enkinders se lewens maak. “Ek wil hulle leer omop te hou om hul hande uit te steek en te vramaar eerder hul hande te gebruik om te werk.Na jare se kospakkies uitdeel het ek op ‘n puntgekom waar ek voel vroue moet bemagtigword om na hulself en hul kinders om te sien.Die ketting van armoede en seerkry moet opeen of ander manier gebreek word,” sê sy.Daarom het sy vir ‘n kursus by die A2B

Transformation Movement ingeskryf waar sygaan leer om vroue te help om as individueprojekte aan te pak om selfonderhoudend teraak.

“Dié besluit is geneem nadat ek huisbesoekaan ‘n sorgbehoewende ma en kinders gebringen die ouma van dié kinders herken het as ‘nvrou wat jare gelede een van kindersorg sekliënte was. Drie generasies later word diekinders steeds op ‘n toelaag grootgemaak ennie hulle, hul ma of ouma het hoop vir dietoekoms nie,” vertel sy.“As maatskaplike werkers weet ons dat dit

oor meer as kospakkies gaan. As die ouers niehul kinders leer om na hulself om te sien en‘n goeie rolmodel is nie, sal daar net meer enmeer kinders in die sisteem geplaas word watbitter min tot geen bydrae tot die samelewingmaak,” vertel sy.Van der Linde sien uit na haar toekoms by

kindersorg en sê sy glo dat haar Skepper haarom ‘n goeierede daargeplaas heten dat syhaar bes gaandoen om ditwat van haarverwag word,te oortref.

Their story is an extraordi-nary one. Two girls makinga living from music on two

sides of a border briefly broughttogether by a project playing outagainst a democratic environment.Manar Wahhab Vosgueritch-

ian from Palestine and StavRachman-German from Israel maybe living on opposite sides of aborder, but had to travel all theway to Limpopo to participate inthe Music on Troubled GroundsSouth Africa project to enter intomusic and dialogue that culmi-nated in an unlikely friendship.The programme was presented bySwedish-based Spiritus Mundi andItumeleng Innovation Centre forYouth Development in Seshego.On stage in the old movie

theatre at Honeymoon Lodge inSeshego they joined 13 othermusicians from Limpopo, Swe-

den, Denmark and Norway for anunusual experience last Thursdayafternoon. It brought to an endthis nine-day project.In an interview beforehand

Vosgueritchian, who is co-founderof a music and arts centre inBethany east of Jerusalem andforms part of a band engagingin cultural heritage songs, saidshe was already involved in thesame project in Sweden in 2009.Seventy to 100 students weretaught music and art daily at thecentre, which has 700 members,she explained. Two of the fourmusic tutors attached to the cen-tre were blind, she added. Writingthis piece with only visuals ofwar in mind created an image ofmusical and artistic expression notbeing high on the agenda duringtimes of conflict. She continuedsaying it was not as if there usedto be people with weapons on thestreets, but trauma and the pres-sure from the occupation made

lim connects musiciansthrough fusion of messages

them all stressed and contributed to psycho-logical problems. Music was one way to get outof the violence and plant the seeds of peacein kids and get them to express themselvesthrough music and art, according to her.From Israeli origin rose the voice of Rach-

man-German, a stage performer from Tel Avivwho has been singing since she could remem-ber. She declared that music was her life. Shetalked of a situation where someone from theother side of the border would be viewed asthe enemy and that a very emotional experi-ence which unfolded during the project hasresulted in her becoming close friends withVosgueritchian. They would want to continuewith the friendship, despite the obstacles, shesaid. Asked about life-threatening factors thatcould impact on their undertaking, Rachman-German explained that her new-found friendwho lived an hour and a half away would notbe able to go visit her, and that there wouldbe a chance of her losing her life if she wantedto cross the border. It was a situation theyboth knew all their lives, she indicated. “Manaralso has stories of living in fear.” They spokeof experiencing the same conflict situations.Rachman-German, who has lost friends dueto terror attacks, travelled back in time toaround 15 years ago when she survived abombing at a shopping mall in Tel Aviv on theirPurim holiday. She intended going back hometo compose songs about the circumstances,something she has not done until the lastGhaza war, she added. Her joining the projectwas unplanned as she filled in for one of themusicians who could not participate in the end.Foreign and local sounds mixed together

gave rise to music that had the small audi-ence at Thursday’s culmination on their feet.Through the use of a host of instrumentsthey expressed their talents and passion. Soinfectious was the music that uninvited partiescame in from the street to investigate.For apparent reasons it was not surprising

then that the Palestinian kafia and Limpopobeads worked well together on stage as theartists performed a collaboration aptly naminga province that possesses qualities of connect-ing people through a fusion of messages.

Tshegofatso Letsoalo has stars in her eyesand cannot be blamed for her conta-gious enthusiasm. She has just had an

experience of a lifetime after returning fromtaking up a fellowship through the Universityof Southern California’s Annenberg School forCommunication and Journalism in Los Angeles.Her 18-month American sojourn that re-

cently came to an end was like a dream cometrue. While briefly touching base in Polokwanewhere her family resides, this former StanfordLake College learner spoke of an extraordinaryopportunity being able to study a specialisedcourse catapulting her into following her heartand a future career in music journalism back inSouth Africa. Heading for Cape Town to pursuea career as a freelancer, she was excited aboutmaking arts accessible to the reader, she said.Her journey to the heart of Hollywood be-

came reality in March 2011 while still studyingjournalism through Rhodes University whenreceiving a call from the United States (US)notifying her she was accepted by the univer-sity. She was later informed that she receiveda scholarship as well. It was off to Americafor an exciting adventure that somehow stillremained surreal to her.Asked about memories of Los Angeles she

said she appreciated the colour of the sky,the mountain setting with the continuousreminder in the Hollywood emblem, life in a“big, beautiful, crazy city “ and Venice Beach,where Harry Perry on his roller skates andwith a makeshift guitar travelled the strip in aturban. All along she longed for her family andhome terribly. The hardest part was not beingable to hug her mom, she said. She missedthe landscapes, the sky, the thunderstorms,the weather, the stars, the sunsets, the coloursof green, the smells, the sounds, the dialectsand the people of Limpopo. Also the fact thata single sentence could incorporate threelanguages, she smiled. “The beauty up hereis underestimated.” Her favourite spots in theprovince are Haenertsburg and the mountains,she declared. Now that she was back Letsoalointended to often return to Limpopo.To keep track of her ventures catch Letsoalo

on her blog, Dearmusiciloveyou on wordpress.com, which she started while in the US. Onthere she is vocal in her writing, like a pieceon her occasional Madonna fascination, andshares videos and playlists. Not too bad for agirl from Limpopo.

Letting go of sentimental clutterStowed away some-where in the arter-ies and veins of yourhome is your 1997Miss Lovely Legsbeauty pageant titlesash. It hasn’t beenin the presence of anaudience for years butyou can’t bear to letit go so you keep it tucked away in a box thatalready houses faded movie ticket stubs, highschool newsletters and a thin collection of yourchildhood drawings.You can pass along items that are still in good

condition to close friends, family or to charity.Isabelle de Grandpre, professional organiser

and CEO of Neat Freak, says the emotional rea-sons for holding onto various possessions can-not be underestimated. She says a lot of peoplefeel guilty or emotional about getting rid of theirthings.She knows that it can be completely over-

whelming and embarrassing to ask for help, sohere are a few tips to get you started...What if I needit one day?The truth is, youhaven’t used itin over ten yearsand you’re betteroff without it.To comb

through the stuffyou never useyou’ll need a level head. That way you’ll realisethat in order to use those oven mitts you’ll actu-ally need to start cooking or baking.Comb through your belongings and weed out

everything you don’t use.In your moment of clarity, you might decide

against the ‘start cooking’ bit but opt to passalong the mitts to a close friend or relative whocan do more than just boil and fry.De Grandpre says you should ask yourself how

the things you are so adamant to keep are addingvalue to your life.So and so gave it to meNo one can ever accuse you of not appreciat-

ing the things they’ve given you because you’vesowed up your living room with an acne of acces-sories.Never mind that they’re

not stylish or tasteful -you’ve made use of all theold photo frames, all thechina, all the vases andevery doily you’ve inher-ited.A lot of people tend to

hold onto things becausethey were gifts.But holding onto every

gift and inheritance is un-realistic and hazardous. A sincere thank you anda show of appreciation will put you in favour withyour loved ones without you having to sacrificeyour space and level of comfort.De Grandpre says your home is meant to be a

refuge - you are meant to want to go there andrelax and when you are ruled by your posses-sions, it becomes a prison.She says having some free and open spaces

will give you a sense of calm that is essential torevitalise your body and mind.I paid good money for itAnd now you’re losing hairs trying to keep it frombreaking while you dig around for something else.It’s not lost on your family and friends that

back in the day you paid R1.50 for a whole teaset, but every day spent paging through yourbelongings, is time wasted.The frustration of trying and failing to find

what you’re looking for, braids itself into yourshoulders and causes tension you could do with-out.The anxiety of nursing porcelain dolls in a

house full of active children will also weigh youdown.So let go.Getting organised is not achieved by tidying

up a space, says de Grandpre. She says gettingorganised is about creating systems that keepit that way.“Your ability to get and stay organised is direct-

ly related to your inability to make decisions. Sobecome more decisive and let go of the clutter.”– Katlego Sekano

After losing 0-2 to Bidvest Wits atPeter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday,newly appointed Black Leopards CoachAbel Makhubele is adamant that histeam will redeem themselves againstChippa United on Sunday.Leopards will travel to Cape Town

on Saturday to face their fellow strug-glers in their 18th match of the AbsaPremiership at Phillipi Stadium.“This was our first competitive

match since the African Cup of Na-tions break that we should have won.

We showed lapses of concentration,particularly in the second half of thematch and also the pitch was notconducive for our type of football.However, we have put that gamebehind us.”“Our focus now is on the new op-

ponents Chippa United. It won’t be aneasy game, but given our travellingrecord we are confident that we willcome back with three points,” Leop-ards Coach, Abel Makhubele said.The loss put Leopards on the 12th

position of the league with 17 pointsafter 17 matches.Makhubele also stressed that they

will miss the services of their leadinggoal scorer Rodney Ramagalela whowas forced the leave the field in theearly minutes of the first half of thematch against Bidvest Wits due to aninjury.“He pulled a muscle, we don’t

know when he will come back to theteam. We are still waiting for the fullassessment from the medical team.However, we have strikers who areequally good to fill that position,”Makhubele said.Erwin Isaacs and Ryan Chapman

scored the winning goals for BidvestWits.
