Transport scandal

Meedoënlose panga-aanval met geloof oorleefVan bl 1by haar huurhuis opgedaag en met haar normale dagtake begin het. Die misplasing van kleinere items in die huis het haar effens on-rustig gemaak, maar sy het dit toegeskryf aan ‘n sterk wind wat deur die dag gewaai het.

Die oomblik toe sy egter haar slaapkamer-deur oopmaak, het brutale pangahoue on-ophoudelik op haar neergereën. Sy het vroeg in die aanval reeds besef haar regterduim is afgeslaan. Tussen die houe deur het die aan-valler aanmekaar geskreeu dat hy geld soek en hoe meer sy gesê het dat hy alles kan vat wat hy wil hê, hoe meer het hy haar geslaan en aangedring op geld en gewaarsku dat hy haar gaan doodmaak. Sy kon wel daarin slaag om aan hom te verduidelik waar haar kluis se sleutels en handsak is en dat hy alles daarin kon vat. Weens swaar bloedverlies, trauma en uitputting kon sy net aan haar geloof vashou en het vir haar aanvaller gevra of hy Jesus

From page 12013/14 recently tabled in the Legislature. It also equals a staggering 98,07% of the depart-mental personnel costs, which proves just as worrisome to Smalle who indicated he would raise questions arising from matters contained in the report during the next available Legisla-ture session.

Hidden between the 210 pages of the report are more subtle indicators that were randomly chosen from factors showing that all was not well in the department, one of the five still under partial national administration, dur-ing the year ending 31 March 2014.

Under results and challenges for the year specifically addressing transport infrastructure, there is reference to the department not being able to implement planned projects timeously due to severe capacity constraints within the Transport Infrastructure Chief Directorate. “Most bids for the 2013/14 financial year were awarded during February and March 2014 instead of February 2013.”

Some challenges resulted in material under expenditure of the Transport Infrastructure programme budget which resulted in the National Department of Transport reallocating R637 million of the Provincial Roads Mainte-

nance Grant (PRMG) to other provinces. “The decision led to the reduction of the total infra-structure budget of the Department and the non-achievement of APP (Annual Performance Plan) targets.”

The late appointment of personnel in critical posts due to the late approval of such by the provincial human resources task team was further listed as reason for material under expenditure.

The delay in the implementation of the Rev-enue Enhancement Strategy contributing to the under collection of revenue was noted, as was the delay in the appointment of contractors on various road maintenance projects increasing the backlog in road maintenance and a further de-terioration in road conditions. Non-achievement of APP targets and increase in road maintenance backlogs were further listed under the general review of the state of financial affairs.

Among matters under investigation catching the attention is that of a no-show by traffic officials at an occasion in Musina, costing the department R184 520. The figure is reflected under several reasons for unauthorised, fruit-less and wasteful expenditure.

Almost half-way through the report the is-sue of fraud and corruption is being addressed,

discussing reported cases having been investi-gated and completed in a required timeframe. During the 2013/14 financial year, 46 cases were reported and investigated of which 27 were completed, seven were referred to the South African Police Service (SAPS) for further investigation and 12 carried forward pending investigation during the 2014/15 financial year. ”Corrective measures are implemented against employees found guilty of involvement in fraudulent and corrupt activities.”

Smalle simultaneously drew the attention to 64 individual consultants appointed on 64 pro-jects across the province over a total of 13 764 work days costing the Limpopo taxpayer R180 175 803,06.

In the attached report of the Auditor-General (AG) dated 31 July this year expenditure manage-ment is highlighted, stating that contractual obliga-tions and money owed by the department were not settled within 30 days or an agreed period as required. Asset management was another concern based on proper control systems to safeguard and maintain assets not being implemented as per requirement. On leadership the AG found that over-sight responsibility regarding financial and per-formance reporting and compliance and related internal controls was not effectively exercised.

ken. “Dit was asof hierdie vraag ‘n ommekeer gebring het,” sê Botha wat intussen ook ‘n ver-kragtingspoging afgeweer het. Die man het na my gedraai, vir my gevra waarom ek die vraag vra en daarna ‘n bedekking oor my naakte lig-gaam gegooi.

Toe die aanvaller nie geld in die kluis kry nie, het sy vir hom gesê waar haar handsak is, waarna hy kontant, bankkaarte en haar twee selfone gevat het. Sy het in hierdie stadium besef dat sy sonder selfoonverbinding min kanse het om te oorleef en het daar en dan besluit om ter wille van oorlewing noodsorg op haarself toe te pas. Sy het haar so gemak-lik moontlik gemaak, haar bloeiende arms omhoog gehou en gepoog om haar hartklop en asemhaling te reguleer om kalmte te bring. “Die nag kon baie lank word,” het sy gedink.

Intussen het die misdadiger haar voertuig se sleutel geneem en sy het gehoor hoe hy met verskeie items by die huis uitstap en tel-kens terugkeer. Die aanvaller het die voertuig aangeskakel en die revolusies ‘n paar kere opgejaag. Hy kon blykbaar nie die voertuig in trurat kry om weg te kom nie en het gevolglik besluit om te voet te vlug.

Die huishulp van die plaaseienaars, wat ‘n entjie van die huurhuis woon, het die geraas van die voertuig gehoor en alarm by die eie-naar, Gert Pretorius, gemaak wat op sy beurt die buurtwag geaktiveer het. Die buurtwag het onverwyld gereageer en die nooddienste is ontbied, terwyl medici van die omgewing haar ook op die toneel gestabiliseer het. Botha is aanvanklik in die Makhado Hospitaal opge-neem, maar is kort daarna na MediClinic Lim-popo oorgeplaas waar sy steeds aansterk. ‘n Operasie is uitgevoer om veral haar linkerarm

en -hand met staalpenne en skroewe te heg.Botha, wat haarself as ‘n privaatmens

beskou en vroeër in haar lewe met die afster-we van haar man en een seun geleer het om trauma te verwerk, sê sy het die hele tyd die Here se nabyheid beleef en met Hom gepraat. Almal se bystand, hulp, meelewing en liefde is vir haar wonderlik. “Baie dankie veral aan die personeel en medici van Limpopo MediClinic vir hul professionele diens en empatie.”

Botha sê sy voel elke dag beter en is vasbeslote om so gou moontlik weer met haar lewe voort te gaan. Oor haar ontberinge sê Botha dat mens na so ‘n terugslag net sterker anderkant uitkom. “Ek sal regkom met my vier vingers en weet ek sal krag van Bo ontvang om weer ‘n lewe so normaal moontlik te lei.”

Haar suster, Maxie Bester, het gister gesê Botha sal waarskynlik vandag (Donderdag) ontslaan word en eers in Polokwane by familie aansterk en fisioterapie ontvang.

Die voorsitter van Agri Limpopo, Willem van Jaarsveld, het die voorval sterk veroordeel en gesê dit raak ‘n tendens onder misdadigers om weerlose mense te teiken.

“Hierdie aanvalle word gekenmerk deur wreedheid en bevat elemente van sadisme,” sê hy en voeg by dat misdadigers toeslaan in gebiede waar polisiëring en polisiesigbaarheid nie op standaard is nie. Hierdie gebiede word ook aan hoë veediefstalsyfers gekenmerk.” Hy is ook van mening dat daar strafregtelik nie streng genoeg teen misdadigers opgetree word nie wat veroorsaak dat aanvalle jaarliks eskaleer.

Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Ronel Otto het gister (Woensdag) teen druktyd gesê geen arrestasie is nog gemaak nie.

>> Charge of contravention of Water Act, sections of Constitu-tion against accounting officers>> DA pursuing legal route to obtain a costs order against of-ficials to attempt to recover muni costs YOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

Concern over samples from a Mokopane water source with an E.coli content 40 times more than the acceptable norm has

moved the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Lim-popo to lay a charge of contravention of the Water Act and two sections of the Constitution with the Human Rights Commission (HRC) against Mogalakwena Municipality manag-ers early yesterday (Wednesday). The party further intends to obtain a costs order against the officials.

At the time of going to press DA Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle confirmed that he laid the charge of contravening Chapter 3 of the National Water Act and Sections 24(a) and 27(b) of the Constitution with the commission against the municipal manager and techni-cal manager responsible for infrastructure at Mogalakwena Municipality yesterday. He said the fact that the water was seemingly not fit for human consumption infringed on the Constitutional rights of residents.

Smalle stressed they were also pursuing a legal route to obtain an order against the officials to attempt to recover costs which the municipality would have to pay towards rehabilitation of the water network.

The action comes in the wake of the release of results of samples taken from the Dorps River in Mokopane after a recent visit by national, provincial and local DA leaders who expressed concern about the possibil-ity of contamination of the source in a story published on the front page of Polokwane

DA charges Mogalakwena Muni

Observer two weeks back. Smalle provided the bacte-riological result sheet of the samples taken by independent water treatment consult-ants, accompanied by the remark that the water was contami-nated and contained E.coli, which made it unfit for human consumption or that by animals. It was

suggested that the water had to be chemically treated.

The matter apparently relates to a much larger looming water crisis highlighted by DA Shadow Minister of Health and DA Federal Chairperson Wilmot James who formed part of the delegation visiting Mokopane last month, DA Shadow Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Kevin Mileham and DA Shadow Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation Leon Basson when calling for an inter-ministerial task team to address the national water crisis during a media briefing at Parliament on Monday.

In the media release issued afterwards James made reference to them travelling across Limpopo, North West, Mpumalanga and the Eastern Cape the past four months to investigate water quality and water supply by municipalities. “We initiated this investigation after news first broke of the outbreak of diarrhoea in Brits in North West. Since that announcement, 500 people have been treated for diarrhoea in Brits. Eleven children were hospitalised and three tod-dlers died of diarrhoea in the area.”

He stressed it was clear there were seri-ous problems with water provision in some parts of the country. “We initiated this inves-tigation to determine exactly how bad things were, and what should be done.”

James indicated they did not wish to cre-ate unnecessary hysteria when stating “In most places we visited, the water supply is reliable and the quality is fit for human con-sumption. But this does not mean we should

ignore the growing number of towns where water supply is erratic or where water has become contaminated with bacteria.”

James revealed that their investigation found, among others, that the water in Mokopane had an E.coli content 40 times more than fit for human consumption and in Thabazimbi a burst sewerage pipe had been spilling raw sewage into a water main for the past two years. “We have not yet commissioned a study on this case, but the water is almost certain to be contaminated with E.coli.

“We are convinced that if our own small-scale investigation was able to produce so many shocking findings, then a more sys-tematic investigation by the appropriate state entity will find massive problems across the country.

“In most cases these problems are caused by a collapse in the local water treatment infrastructure, or the local sewage infrastruc-ture. It is clear that is not a single departmen-tal failure that is at the heart of the problem.

“Getting to the bottom of this will require interdepartmental cooperation. We therefore call for the establishment of an inter-minis-terial task team consisting of the ministries for Water and Sanitation, Health, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, together with water and sanitation experts, health ex-perts, engineers and specialists in the field of water purification to investigate the extent of water contamination and to make recommen-dations to the Minister of Water and Sanitation as to how to address these challenges.

“We must do everything we can to ensure every South African has easy access to clean, running water that is reliable and safe. We will engage with the relevant Ministers to ensure that further action is taken by the state to clean up our water supply,” he concluded.

Former Executive Mayor of Waterberg Eric Gwangwa was shot in the derrière during violent protest action at the Mogalakwena

Municipality in Mokopane on Tuesday. Mokopane Police Spokesperson Madigale

Masingi said Gwangwa is currently recuperating in the town’s Voortrekker Hospital.

“Since Monday community members embarked on protest action in front of the municipal premises. On Tuesday the protest became violent in an effort to disrupt a council meeting. Some shots were fired and Gwangwa was injured. We also arrested six people on charges of malicious damage to property after the municipality’s gate was damaged,” she said. The six appeared in the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Wednesday) and were released on warning to appear in court again on 26 September. Masingi also said the Police are still searching for the persons responsible for firing shots that injured Gwangwa.

Mogalakwena Municipality has for months been in the spotlight over several issues that hamper service delivery in the area.

When the Provincial Executive Council earlier decided to place the municipality under administration in terms of Section 139 1(b) of the Constitution, former Corporative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional

Affairs (Coghsta) MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe said the challenges in the municipality continue to dominate the public domain and the media in particular. At the centre of these challenges were disputes over the contract validity of the municipal manager and the council and institutional instability characterised by serious infighting amongst council members and senior officials which negatively affected the ability of the municipal leadership to fulfil its legislative mandates, including the provision of basic services and efficient financial management.

Malesela Selokela, Divisional Head of Communications at Mogalakwena Municipality said the violence on Tuesday erupted when protestors wanted the Council to reverse a resolution taken last week to request Coghsta MEC Grace Makhurupetje to terminate the membership of 26 councillors who failed to attend three or more previous council meetings.

Selokela also indicated that the protest was illegal as protestors neither applied for nor informed the municipality of their intention to protest at least seven days before the gathering.

Questioning muni manager’s matric labelled maliciousRC MybuRgh>>[email protected]

An article questioning the validity of Polokwane Municipal Manager, Conny Mametja’s Senior Certificate has been deemed baseless and malicious by the entity’s communications department.

Communications and Marketing Manager, Tidimalo Chuene in response to an article in Polokwane Observer’s edition of 28 August 2014, issued a press release stating that Mametja sat for her Matric exam, administered by the then Joint Matriculation Board (JMB) in 1987. “A simple check on most certificates issued under JMB, especially around 1987 and 1988 would show that certificates issued those years only printed examination numbers and not an identity number,” Chuene stated.

Chuene further said this was long before the formation of the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training (Umalusi) adding that a visit to the Limpopo Head of Examination can disprove this malicious allegation. “There is no mischief for people who have substantial work experience, especially having acquired post matric qualifications not to list their matric qualification on their curriculum vitae,” Chuene stated.

“I am humbled by this amazing opportunity and I will continue changing lives and use this platform as a vehicle to further develop and support disadvantaged communities and instil a spirit of community service through a variety of international community-based

programmes,” Katryn Barwise, newly crowned Miss Humanity International 2014 said.

Upon her return from Barbados where the crowning was held, Barwise said it was the best experience of her life and thanked every-one who helped her live her dream by bringing home the crown. “I loved Barbados, not only for the beautiful white beaches and the clear turquoise water, but for the fun culture and

vibe I experienced,” she said. “We were judged on a series of events and

also took part in various fun activities which included submerging to 150 feet in a subma-rine, extreme water sports in the ocean and cocktail events. We also visited the Barbados Parliament and met an opposition party sena-tor, Wilfred Abrahams,” Barwise said.

Apart from taking the Miss Humanity Inter-national 2014 crown, she also won the auction category when Abrahams bought a portrait of former president Nelson Mandela painted by Karmen Pretorius, Barwise’s sister, for $750.

She also won the Best National Costume, Best Gown, Best Humanitarian Advocacy and the Continental Queen of Africa categories.

She said the competition was really fierce because the top ten finalists worked really hard in their projects.

“I was fortunate to have Miss Barbados as my roommate although we were competitors we had fun together and I learned even more about the exotic island and its customs. I will definitely return to Barbados. The Caribbean Island is seen as a paradise with friendly peo-ple, very warm weather, clean beaches and the best Bajan cuisine.”

Barwise thanked her sponsors Protea Hotel The Ranch as main sponsor, Polokwane Observer as exclusive print media sponsor, designers La Collezione dei Conti, Elizabeth’s Wedding Couture and photographers Picture Perfect Centurion.

Die gevreesde Zimbabwiër wat vir langer as twee jaar inwoners van die stad geteister het en vermoedelik met nege

sake van huisbraak en verkragting in die stad verbind kan word, David Mamvura (23), ook bekend as die hamermonster, is Sondagaand opnuut in hegtenis geneem.

Hy het sedert Maandag drie keer in die Polokwane Landdroshof verskyn, maar sy regs-verteenwoordiger het nie opgedaag nie en die saak is telkens tot die volgende dag uitgestel. Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerer, Ronel Otto het teen druktyd gesê as Mamvura se regsverteen-woordiger teen gister (Woensdag) nie opdaag nie, die saak vir sewe dae uitgestel sal word.

jaar gearresteer nadat hy vermoedelik by ‘n egpaar in Bodensteinstraat ingebreek het, hulle met ‘n mes gedreig en die 76-jarige vrou verkrag het. Hy het vermoedelik met twee selfone op die vlug geslaan.

Kommunikasiehoof van die polisie, Hang-wani Mulaudzi sê Mamvura is later op borgtog van R2 000 vrygelaat ten spyte daarvan dat die ondersoekbeampte die borgaansoek met bewyse dat Mamvura onwettig in die land is, teengestaan het. Hy het nooit weer vir sy hofverskyning opgedaag nie en ‘n lasbrief vir sy inhegtenisname is uitgereik. Die polisie het inligting ontvang en Mamvura is Sondag in ‘n woonstel in die middestad gearresteer nadat hy ongeveer ‘n jaar lank die polisie ontduik het.

“Mamvura is reeds met nege voorvalle van huisbraak en verkragting in die stad verbind en die moontlikheid dat hy met nog sake verbind kan word, word ondersoek,” sê Mulaudzi.

Mamvura se dade het skokgolwe deur die Polokwane gemeenskap gestuur toe hy onge-veer twee jaar gelede vermoedelik ‘n egpaar in Baymanstraat, Eduanpark aangeval het. “Hy

Eduanpark se hamer-monster weer agter tralies

het glo die man erg met ‘n hamer aangerand, die vrou verkrag en met twee selfone gevlug,” sê Mulaudzi.

Twee maande na die voorval slaan Mam-vura vermoedelik weer toe, dié keer in Du Plessisstraat waar hy ‘n 22-jarige vrou in haar tuinwoonstel vermoedelik vasgebind en verkrag het. Hy het glo met haar televisie, skootrekenaar en selfoon gevlug. “Die vrou het haarself losgewikkel en na die hoofhuis, waar haar ouers bly, gehardloop waar sy die verkragting bevestig het,” sê Mulaudzi.

Progress in fraud case against muni managerRC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

Only one or two people still need to be inter-viewed by the investigating officer in a fraud case opened against Polokwane Municipal Manager Conny Mametja in May regarding the proposed R45 million Motor City development.

Polokwane Police Spokesperson Lesiba Ramoshaba said once statements of the last people have been taken the case will be referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for a decision.

This follows after a local bidder and objec-tor to the project, Glen Matsaung opened the case relating to Mametja’s allegedly fraudu-lent furnishing of a special power of attorney signed on 26 October 2012 whilst the ap-plication by PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd, the bid winning company, for the document was only signed five days later. The resolution for ap-plication for the township establishment was authorised by the directors of PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd on 31 October 2012.

Referring to documentation Matsaung al-leged that, two days after the application by PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd for a special power of attorney, a document was printed from the municipal server stating the date as 2 Novem-ber 2012. “This document was later allegedly removed from the public domain and replaced by a second special power of attorney signed on 26 October 2012. According to law no con-tracts or special power of attorney can be back dated. According to the extract in the minutes of the directors’ meeting of PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd held in Polokwane on 31 October 2012 it was resolved that the company apply for a special power of attorney to the Polo-kwane Municipality,” Matsaung said.

No muni feedback on discontent dwellersyOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

Polokwane Municipality has seemingly missed the end of August deadline to inform a local developer of the way forward following an alleged relocation mishap. Occupants of an estimated 30 households relocated from Dis-teneng in November last year are at the centre of a battle in which Polokwane Municipality and Matome Maponya Investments are the key role players, featured in a story on last week’s front page of Polokwane Observer.

The affected parties, who were initially re-located to Extension 106 but apparently were subsequently informed that they had to move as the portion of land they occupied belonged to a property developer, are adamant to stay if their demand for permanent location to Exten-sion 78 is not adhered to.

In the meantime Matome Maponya Invest-ments is awaiting feedback from the municipality, which was expected to react by Friday, on how it would be handling the matter. Matome Maponya Investments Property Development Head Cornel Mulder indicated earlier this week that they have not received any correspondence from Polokwa-ne Municipality yet. They would follow it up at the latest Monday, he indicated.

In commenting on the matter Polokwane Municipality Communications and Marketing Manager Tidimalo Chuene advised that the relocation of households started on 11 August 2014 and to date 33 shacks had been moved to an adjacent site of Extension 106 while 28 shacks were still to be moved. “Engagement with (the) Extension 106 community on the remaining household(s) is still underway.”

In terms of the national Environmental Air Quality Act Sec 38 (3)(a), Corobrik (Pty) Ltd has applied for the renewal of their Air License in terms of the above law. The activity to be undertaken is Ceramic Process 5.7 under GN33064, 1 March 2010.We invite written representations from the public regarding the renewal of the application.

>> 173 km/h because Speaker is running behind time>> Internal disciplinary action will be taken against driverRC MYBURGH>>[email protected]

The driver of Lindiwe Mogale, Makhado Mu-nicipal Speaker was recently arrested on the N1 just outside Bela-Bela for speeding at 173 km/h in a 120 km/h zone.

Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto said Solomon Siwela was driving a Mercedes-Benz when a traffic official manning a speed trap close to the Sondela turnoff pulled him over.

Mogale was a passenger in the vehicle at

the time of Siwela’s arrest. He was released after paying R1 500 admission of guilt at the Bela-Bela Police Station.

Makhado municipal Spokesperson Louis Bobodi said Mogale was being chauffeured to a Women’s Month summit held in Bela-Bela. “The Speaker was running behind time and we condemn the action of the driver for exces-sive speeding. We are not above the law and apologise for the misbehaviour,” Bobodi said, adding that internal disciplinary actions will also be taken against the driver.

Bobodi could not respond to why the Speaker did not ask the driver to slow down or if it was an order from her to speed because of her being late for the appointment. “The mu-nicipality will conduct an internal investigation into the matter and only then will we be able to say whether it was an order from Mogale to the driver and why she did not ask him to slow down,” Bobodi said.

Man in court for stabbing pregnant girlfriendOscar Ngobeni (24) who allegedly stabbed his pregnant girlfriend and her mother to death and set his friend’s house alight in June will appear in the Ritavi Magistrate’s Court again on 30 September. Ngobeni faces three charges of murder and one of arson after he allegedly stabbed his girlfriend and her mother to death at Makwazini Village near Letsitele. According to Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto, Ngobeni and his girlfriend Tinyiko Matlaahule (20) are believed to have been engaged in an argument on 23 June. According to Otto the accused purportedly stabbed Matlaahule, then seven months pregnant, and her mother Rachel Hlangwani (58) and thereafter went to a friend’s house which he allegedly set alight.

Alleged poacher nabbed at friends’ bail hearingAn alleged rhino poacher and accomplice of four supposed rhino poachers was arrested last week while attending his four friends’ bail hearing at the Makhado Magistrate’s Court.SANParks Spokesperson Divhani Maremba said intense Police investigation led to the arrest of Job Basi Tlou (53), Percy Manengena (29), Johannes Sematla (48) and Lebala Sematla (28) after the discovery of a dehorned rhino carcass in the Mapungubwe National Park on 26 July. The fifth suspect is set to appear with the other four in court on 26 September.

Police condemn violence in MbilwiThohoyandou Police are investigating a case of arson, malicious damage to property and public violence following unrest in Mbilwi Vil-lage outside Sibasa over the weekend when a community meeting to discuss the murder of 60-year-old Elina Mphaphuli in May this year turned violent. Provincial Police Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi said the Police condemn

the incident which ocurred within days after the Police announced a R100 000 reward for information that might lead to the arrest of the perpetrators. Mphaphuli, whose mutilated body was found near Mbilwi Village, is believed to have been the victim of a rital murder.

Mulaudzi said a woman allegedly told the community the names of the suspects during the meeting and she was then escorted to the Sibasa Satellite Police Station. “Soon after leav-ing the Police premises community members set alight the house of one of the proposed suspects. Three more houses were damaged and no one was injured. Eight people were rescued from the houses and taken to the Tho-hoyandou Police Station for their own safety.”

Police warned the community that they will be prosecuted if they continue with such behaviour. A task team dedicated to the case has been established. Anyone with information is requested to call constables Mashaba (082 451 7188) or Mutele (072 083 3273) or the toll free number on 08600 10111.

Get acquainted with Firearms Control Act Westenburg Police Spokesperson Mohlaka Mashiane urged residents to acquaint them-selves with the Firearms Control Act to avoid being caught on the wrong side of the law.

“We have had several situations with people who inherited firearms from a deceased fam-ily member but did not follow the required procedures to become the legal owner of these weapons. In several cases these weapons were used in crime related incidents only for the Police to find out that the weapon was still registered in the name of a deceased person,” Mashiane said. He urged residents who are in possession of fire-arms and who have doubts about the registra-tion to visit their nearest Police station. “People who inherited a weapon should immediately phone or visit a Police station in order to acquaint themselves with the procedures that need to be followed,” he stressed.

The Cancer Association of South Africa’s (Cansa) has for a number of years successfully run its popular Cuppa for Cansa fundraising campaign and is continuing to do so in 2014 with tea par-ties being hosted across the country.

To make it even more special the associa-tion now offers supporters of the cause an opportunity to buy a pink Cuppa for Cansa shopper bag containing branded serviettes; coasters and rooibos tea at only R100. Sharon Stander, Cansa Polokwane Community Mobi-liser said that, while buying a bag is optional, by doing so one automatically donates R100 towards Cansa.

Stander explained that a Cuppa event does not necessarily have to be a ladies tea party but can include any social gathering, from barbeques to movie nights, family breakfast or fancy dress party. With time corporate and even virtual Cuppa for Cansa opportunities have been hosted.

“Use your imagination and have fun while raising funds for the care and support Cansa provides for those who are fighting cancer. Every cent counts. No donation is too small or too big,” Stander urged.

For more information regarding hosting your own Cuppa event or to buy a Cuppa bag, contact Stander on 079 887 0043, send an email to [email protected] or visit the Cansa website www.cansa.org.za.

>> Principal accused of racism>> SGB has not been privy to view a task team reportROELIEN VORSTER>> [email protected]

A task team established by the Department of Education in April this year to investigate the allegations made against Westenburg Sec-ondary School principal Petrus Monyama by parents has not managed to resolve the burn-ing issues that inhibit the proper functioning of the school.

Racism, drug abuse and teachers basking in the sun when they are supposed to teach are only a few of the allegations made by parents when Polokwane Observer visited Westen-burg on Tuesday.

Parents claimed that nothing seems to have been resolved since Monyama left his office at the beginning of the second semester after he apparently received threatening letters. Deputy Principal, Bettie Boom has since been acting as principal.

Parents who spoke to Polokwane Ob-server on condition of anonymity for fear of their children being victimised, claimed the lack of teachers who are mother tongue speakers of Afrikaans and can instruct learners through the medium thereof to be a huge concern. One parent said her child, who is repeating Grade 10 for the third year, has now been referred to the classes where English is the medium of instruction in an attempt to pass the year.

“The current Afrikaans teacher is actually English speaking and teaches broken Afrikaans which is not sufficient enough for my child to secure a pass mark. Some of the teachers also hardly ever go to school and if they are there, they bask in the sun the whole day,” an upset parent said and added that the majority of the learners hardly attend school.

Another parent claimed that Monyama is racist and encourages conflict between the black and coloured learners and that drug abuse is rife since no educator supervision is exercised during breaks.

According to one parent, an Afrikaans teacher who is reputed to be an alcoholic, al-legedly instructed a learner to go and buy him liquor during school hours.

“That teacher is always intoxicated,” the woman said.

Eugene Lyle, Chairperson of the School Governing Body (SGB) said the biggest prob-lem is the lack of qualified Afrikaans speaking teachers and that racism is not the issue. “The community insisted on diverting the school to a dual medium school, but because there is a lack of Afrikaans speaking teachers, the coloured learners feel they receive inadequate education.

The English speaking learners don’t have a problem since they don’t take the Afrikaans classes,” Lyle said and added that the issue was handed to the task team and the Depart-ment of Education to investigate.

“The racism issue started when the principal and staff members apparently made a political statement in front of the learners and he called me a racist. The coloured learners indicated that they didn’t want him as a principal,” Lyle informed.

He said the department should look into the fact that they appointed a principal at a dual medium school who cannot speak Afrikaans at all.

“I am aware that a task team was estab-lished to investigate the happenings at the school. A report was released, but the SGB has not been privy to view the document,” he explained and added that a meeting between the SGB, the principal and the task team was, on two occasions, arranged to discuss the report but Monyama excused himself each time.

Lyle expressed concern over the allegation that a teacher instructed a learner to go and buy alcohol and said disciplinary action with the learner will be held in due course while the teacher was referred to the department for an internal procedure.

“Boom is currently holding the position as acting principal and she is doing a sterling job, taking into account that she has classes as well. I want to commend her on doing the best she can under the circumstances,” Lyle said and added that he cannot deny the fact that some teachers are not accommodating Boom’s instructions and prefer to bask in the sun.

“It is very frustrating, but they will be dealt

with by the department.”He said another concern is that the English

learners are being educated in Mathematics while the Afrikaans learners only take Math-ematical Literacy. “You cannot do much with only Mathematical Literacy and that, together with the lack of Afrikaans speaking teachers, also needs to be addressed as soon as pos-sible,” Lyle concluded.

Spokesperson of the Department of Educa-tion, Paena Galane refused to divulge much about the decision taken by Education MEC, Thembisile Nwedamutswu, but said he can safely announce that there will be a huge development to resolve the situation. He said “The learners that loiter in the streets during school hours and the teachers who compete with lizards for the sun have reached the end of the line. We need to be responsible individu-als,” he said and added that learners must be in class to learn and educators must teach them. “No one has the right to destroy any child’s future.”

Galane said subsequent to all the individu-als concerned being approached a decision on the way forward has been made by Nweda-mutswu. He was however unable to divulge what the decision comprised.

Die Duitse gemeenskap van Polokwane se immergewilde Oktoberfest vind op 20 Septem-ber by Bolivia Lodge plaas en beloof om soos tevore, ‘n vol saal te trek.

Die organiseerders, Klaus Rabiega en die Meyer-broers, Horst en Reinhardt, staan weer aan die roer van sake en koester hoë ver-wagtinge vir hierdie geleentheid waartydens die Kapelle Frankenland Gädheim orkes uit

Duitsland die gehoor gaan vermaak met egte Duitse musiek. Die fees sal ook nie ‘n sukses wees sonder die tradisionele Duitse geregte soos Brattwurst und Sauerkraut wat met genoeg tapbier en Jägermeister afgewas word nie.

Koste beloop R200 per persoon en sluit ‘n bierbeker, eerste bier en die ete in. Voorafbe-spreking is noodsaaklik aangesien die fees baie gewild is. Klaus of Bettina Rabiega kan by 015 295 6153 geskakel word om te bespreek en hele tafels is ook vir groepe beskikbaar.

Musiekliefhebbers het Vrydagaand die kerksaal van die NG Kerk Pietersburg-Noord volgepak om die Mannebedieningsaksie se konsert wat deur Sterling EQ aangebied is, by te woon.

Treffers soos Genesis, Mannetjies Roux, te-malied uit Caravans en Mbube het die gehoor gevange gehou en menigeen laat saamwieg. Sterling EQ is ‘n instrumentele popgroep van Kaapstad wat bestaan uit Carina Bruwer (fluit), Luca Hart (viool) en Ariella Caira (tjello). Die groep het reeds drie CD’s en ‘n DVD uitgereik en al meer as 700 optredes gehou, op televisie verskyn en per geleentheid voor ‘n gehoor van 40 000 mense opgetree.

Bruwer het vele talente en het die veiling van ‘n drukker en twee gassbottels wat deur Glenn Groenewald van Ricoh en Nico Claassens van Afrox geskenk is, behartig. R14 000 is so


Lede van die Emmanuel Baptistegemeente en belangstellendes het Saterdagaand heerlike eetgoed in die kerksaal van die Christ Baptist Church geniet waarna ‘n gospel sangaand gehou is.

Verskeie plaaslike kunstenaars het opge-

tree. Volgens Andries Swanepoel, wat die funksie saam met Fritz Botes en Chris Meyer, leraar van Emmanuel Baptistegemeente gereël het, is die geleentheid goed bygewoon en was dit ‘n baie geseënde aand.

Sunet Gouws se Ek vlieg hoog, Patrys Davis met Jesus takes the wheel en Rudolf Pretorius en Stefan Ebersohn se I believe het groot byval gevind.

Sterling EQ lok vol saalingesamel met gaste wat nie geskroom het om hul beursies oop te maak nie.

Volgens Marco Smith van die reëlings-komitee het die veiling ‘n groot bydrae tot die sukses van hierdie fondsinsamelingsaksie gelewer. Twee plaaslike laer- en een hoërskool se voedingskemas vir behoeftige leerders gaan deur die projek begunstig word.

Spoed en tamheid is glo die hoofredes waarom 19 mense die afgelope naweek op die provinsie se paaie in botsings dood

is. Die departement van vervoer se woordvoer-

der oor verkeer, Kagiso Mootane sê in Malam-ulele het ‘n bestuurder van ‘n Mercedes-Benz Saterdag vermoedelik ‘n voertuig op ‘n gevaar-like strook verbygesteek en trompop met ‘n aankomende Hyundai gebots. Beide bestuur-ders en drie passasiers is dood. In dieselfde omgewing is ‘n motorfietsryer dood nadat hy met ‘n taxi gebots het. Die motorfietsryer is op die toneel dood terwyl een passasier in die taxi geringe beserings opgedoen het.

Elf mense het Sondagaand op die N1-suid naby die Mookgophong-afrit omgekom nadat twee voertuie kop-aan-kop gebots het. “Onder die oorledenes is drie kinders. Die kinders se

ouderdomme wissel tussen vier en ses jaar,” sê Mootane. Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Ronel Otto het bevestig dat die polisie ‘n saak van strafbare manslag ondersoek.

Vroeër die Sondagoggend het twee mense in ‘n Volkswagen Polo ongeveer 20 km buite Polokwane doodgebrand nadat hulle teen ‘n Toyota bakkie gebots het. Die bestuurder van die Polo het vermoedelik ‘n U-draai voor die bakkie gemaak.

“Beide voertuie het direk na impak aan die brand geslaan. Die bestuurder van die Polo sowel as een passasier het doodgebrand. Die bestuurder van die bakkie sowel as drie insit-tendes van beide voertuie het ernstige bese-rings opgedoen,” sê Mootane.

Die LUR vir vervoer, Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana het in ‘n persverklaring motoriste gemaan om die padreëls te gehoorsaam, geduldig te bestuur, hoë snelhede te vermy en wetstoepassers gemaan om geen genade met oortreders te toon nie. “Ons kan nie voortdurend mense begrawe wat op die paaie gesterf het as gevolg van motoriste wat nie wetsgehoorsaam is nie. Die departement sal definitief hul padveiligheidveldtog verskerp en strenger teen oortreders optree,” sê sy en het tegelykertyd haar medelye teenoor families van die oorledenes uitgespreek en beseerdes ‘n spoedige herstel toegewens.

‘n Finale besluit sal eersdaags deur die depar-tement van onderwys geneem word oor wan-neer Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé se dak wat verlede Vrydag deur ‘n sterk wind afgeruk is, vervang sal word.

Tommies se waarnemende hoof, Cois Armer en inspekteurs van die onderwysdepartement was reeds in samespreking oor die voorval by die skool. Die skool is Vrydag ontruim toe die tekenlokaal se dak op die derde verdieping afgeruk is. “Die skool is al 65 jaar oud en die balke het begin vrot. Gelukkig is geen leerders beseer nie en alle aktiwiteite is hervat” sê hy.

Die skade word op ongeveer R100 000 beraam. “Een van die opsies wat moontlik oor-

weeg en binnekort goedgekeur kan word is dat die hele skool se dak gedurende die komende Oktober skoolvakansie vervang gaan word.”

Die sterk wind is deur ‘n koue front wat vroeg verlede week oor die land inbeweeg het veroorsaak. Dit het nie net ysige toestande en oorstromings in dele van die Wes-Kaap veroorsaak nie, maar ook in Polokwane skade aangerig.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerburo het verlede week ‘n waarskuwing van brandgevaar en droë winderige toestande in veral Noordwes, Oos-Kaap, Vrystaat en KwaZulu-Natal uitgereik. Op die hoek van Vermikulietstraat en die N1/Landdros Maré-verlenging is ‘n heining met verskeie advertensies op platgedruk terwyl nog ‘n advertensiebord in Marastraat, Ladanna omgewaai het.

Tommies kry dalk nuwe dak in Oktober

“Tourism concepts with the potential to significantly promote tourism in Limpopo and Mozambique,” is how Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (Ledet) MEC, Seaparo Sekoati described the Bush to Beach and Escarpment 4x4 Routes during the launch of the venture in Xai Xai City, Mozambique on Tuesday evening.

The route is a product of The Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park and provides an exceptional experience through ideal off-road travelling opportunities for the eco adventurers of the world.

Sekoati explained that the route will link the escarpment of the Northern

Twee vakante poste in die Polokwane Munisipaliteit is verlede Donderdag gevul toe twee nuutverkose raadslede van die Demokratiese Allian-sie, Franco Marx en Roelof Lourens tydens die raad se maandvergadering ingehuldig is.

Marx verteenwoordig wyk 20 en Lourens sal na die be-lange van inwoners van wyk 23 omsien. Wyk 20 bestaan uit Welgelegen, Eduan-, Flora- en Faunapark en die gedeelte van Bendor tussen Dewetrylaan en Veldspaat-straat. Ladanna, ‘n gedeelte van Welgelegen, die gebied tussen Nelson Mandelalaan, Oos-, Grobler- en Hospitaal-straat en Doornbult, Palmiet-fontein en die Tweefontein-

hoewes vorm wyk 23.Marx het sy debuut

tydens die vergadering met indringende vrae oor die reuse bedrag van meer as R40 miljoen wat die stads-raad voornemens is om af te skryf, gemaak en het aan Polokwane Observer gesê dat hy nie tevrede was met die antwoorde wat deur die amptenary verskaf is nie en die saak verder gaan voer.

Hy is onder meer on-tevrede daarmee dat die amptenary verwag dat skuld sonder meer afgeskryf word terwyl daar redelike moont-likhede bestaan om dit in te vorder.

Lourens, wat reeds voorheen in ‘n munisipale raad gedien het, gaan op dienslewering fokus en wanbestuur en korrupsie die stryd aansê. “Daar is geen verskoning vir swak dienslewering nie en belasting-betalers is geregtig op kwaliteitdiens,” sê hy.

Marx en Lourens nooi inwoners om hulle by 083 333 3337 of 072 209 0176 te skakel indien enige bystand met munisipale aangeleent-hede verlang word.

Bush to Beach route to enhance tourism

indentify bottlenecks on areas within the current operations that require govern-ment intervention.

Director of Tourism in Gaza Province, Maria Emilia Salvador Machaieie Maph-sanganne said the route will give the tour operators lots of options and enable tourists from Limpopo to easily visit Mozambique. “South Africa is our princi-pal market and we have lots of tourists visiting our country from Limpopo and South Africa as a whole. The route will help in growing tourism in Mozambique,” Maphsanganne said.

As part of the launch a contingent of local tourism operators and media, in-cluding Polokwane Observer as guest of Ledet, on Sunday morning departed from Polokwane to explore the route. Using 4X4 vehicles the group travelled via Mafefe and across the escarpment by means of the Orrie Baragwanath Pass to Lekgalameetse Nature Reserve. From there the group proceeded to Letaba Ranch to explore the Levuvhu Trail, which includes the confluence of the Great Letaba and Little Letaba rivers. From Le-taba Ranch the group entered the Kruger National Park exiting through Girondo Gate into Mozambique and Machampane Lodge. From there they journeyed to Masingir were they met with Mozambican tour operators.

The MEC further said that the route is already incorporated into the Zambezi destination involving Mozambique, Bot-swana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Limpopo and forms part of the implementation plan in terms of the signed memorandum of agreements with Tourism authorities of the respective partners.

The launch afforded provincial tour operators to meet with their Mozambican counterparts to discuss some of the challenges they are encountering in the industry.

Sekoati said including the tour opera-tors formed part of the implementation of the 2005 twinning agreement between Limpopo and Gaza province. “Their meeting will ensure sustainability of the

packages that creates demand for tourists in both Mozambique and

the province” he said adding that the meeting served as a plat-form for operators in the two regions to share information on

existing packages and products with the potential for expansion as well to

“In the past Limpopo was faced with the challenge of poor workmanship by contractors whose intentions were only to milk the prov-ince’s resources. This led to the huge back log especially in the maintenance of roads.”

More opportunities for contractors with programme

PhOtOS: RC MyBuRgh Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure MEC, Jeremiah Ndou and Polokwane Executive Mayor, Thembi Nkadimeng during the launch of the Limpopo Contractor Development Programme.

Chief Executive Officer of Stefa-

nutti Stocks, Willie Meyburgh who partnered with

the Department of Public Works,

Roads and Infra-structure to launch

the Limpopo Con-tractor Develop-

ment Programme.

This is the opinion of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure MEC Jeremiah Ndou during the launch of the Limpopo Contractor Devel-opment Programme held at Meropa Casino & Entertainment World last week.

The programme run in partnership with Stefanutti Stocks has as its main objective to increase the capacity, equity ownership, sustainability, quality and performance of the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) registered contractors, effectively rais-ing the contribution of the construction indus-try in South Africa’s shared growth initiative. It is aimed at grading the status of contractors, performance, quality and delivery of infrastruc-ture, and equity and targeted ownership.

“The increasing number of infrastructure projects in the province will also create op-portunities for small contractors to compete for contracted services, especially on road construction projects. We seek to address the

current high unemployment rate and infra-structure backlogs by presenting opportuni-ties for emerging and established contractors who are faced with enormous challenges that impede on their development,” Ndou said, add-ing that the intervention will make a difference in the fight against unemployment and also create sustainable employment for less and semi-skilled unemployed people.

Ndou said that after the successful comple-tion of the programme by the contractors, gov-ernment is clear and honest that going forward it will no longer tolerate poor work. “We will follow up on every work that the department gives to contractors either in the province or the municipalities. There has been a red line where contractors will be able to work ac-cording to what they promise when they are awarded tenders. This is meant to ensure that as the department we get value for money to the benefit of all people of Limpopo,” he said.

The Peeletso project, an initiative that encour-ages parents to invest in the future of their unborn children, was officially launched on Friday. The project stems from an increased awareness of the economic challenges faced by society in the light of limited financial inher-itance reaching from generation to generation and is endorsed by Social development MEC Joyce Mashamba.

Martha Tladi, patron of the Peeletso Project said the initiative was born when a woman named her granddaughter Peeletso, which means investment in both Sepedi and Setswana. She said the idea is to couple the programme with baby shower parties where families and communities are united in the culture of investing money.

“The objective is to create a platform for short-, medium- and long-term invest-ment opportunities for unborn babies and to

improve the lives of society at large,” she said adding that Limpopo women can be proud when they join hands to complement the women of 1956, when they marched to the union state building in Pretoria, through contributing towards the financial sustain-ability of the future generation.

“We predict that one million babies will have been born this time next year and by introducing this con-cept through proposals, presentations, word of mouth, the media and antenatal clinics and hospitals, interested financial institutions will

welcome the newborn into the world with gold, frankincense and myrrh, instead of the usual

items that are not sus-tainable,” Tladi said.

Mashamba said the Department of Social Development has a mandate to create sustainable develop-ment and self-reliant communities with the aim to ensure that, in line with the National Development Plan Vision 2030, poverty is eradicated.

“We therefore welcome all initiatives aimed at strengthening our efforts to ensure sustainable and mean-ingful development. Our valued partners in

this regard are the private sector and particu-larly the business fraternity.”

Mashamba said the Peeletso Project is the product of forward thinking and a pioneering spirit. “We applaud this initiative and we are happy to endorse the activities commencing on Friday. The hope and expectancy is that the initiative will reach recipients even on the periphery of the province.”

She said this initiative will go a long way in strengthening the department’s programmes of youth development because an early start will ensure that all that is done for the children of Limpopo, from the early childhood develop-ment to higher education is meaningful and sustainable.

“Forward planning and vision will ensure that our children’s education, development and enterprising spirit go from strength to strength. As the American author Mark Twain is attrib-uted to have said: ‘The secret to getting ahead is getting started’ and thanks to the Peeletso Project, this will be possible,” she concluded.

Public servants are expected to roll up their sleeves and spring clean their service delivery points this September as it has

been earmarked as Public Service Month (PSM).

Provincial Government Spokesperson, Phuti Seloba in a media statement said this annual programme aims at celebrating and recognis-ing public servants and their contribution to the lives of ordinary people by putting them first in provision of services countrywide.

He said the theme, ‘Reinventing the way Public Servants Work: Batho Pele Putting People First’ focuses on the promotion and im-plementation of the service delivery charter as adopted by Government and the Department of Labour in September 2013.

“This year, 2014 PSM celebrations are more significant as they take place after the democratic elections,” he said and added that the era of public servants coming to work tired is over because a sector that is dedicated to provide service with a smile is needed. “They must continue to strive to be the best because the people deserve the best.”

He said although Limpopo is a province of excellence, the province needs public servants who understands and believes in the Constitu-tion of South Africa and the high standards of ethics. “Limpopo must be the leader of service delivery,” Seloba said adding that this will serve as a precursor for the second National Batho

Pele Excellence Awards which will take place at the end of 2014. “As a province we are confident that Limpopo with be represented in this prestigious awards.”

As part of the Public Service Month there will be engagements with frontline public serv-ants, unannounced visits and deployment of senior managers to frontline service delivery sites. Seloba said PSM is an initiative of the Department of Public Service and Administra-tion that seeks to instil and rebuild good eth-ics, morale and administration in the country. “They serve as a precursor for pride in public servants; it also puts emphasis on improving the way public servants work in their quest to deliver quality services to citizens,” he said.

As part of the Public Service Month, public servants are expected to do the following:

Roll up their sleeves and spring clean their service delivery points; visit schools, hospitals, police stations and courts; talk to citizens, mediate the delivery of services and getting things done; unblock the bottlenecks and red-tape in the delivery of services; ensure the sys-tems and infrastructures are working and use public resources efficiently to the benefit of the citizens; and recommit themselves to belong, to care and to serve the people.

He said the programme is envisaged to attract diverse stakeholders across the public service spectre that includes executive authori-ties, selected chapter nine and ten bodies, public servants, academia, private sector, business, labour, NGOs, CBOs, communities and media.

Celebrating service delivery excellence


Capricorn District Executive Mayor Gilbert Kganyago conducted a series of consultative and interactive sessions with key stakehold-ers during the last week. The purpose was to address their concerns and seek partnerships in the interest of good governance and service delivery in the district.

Kganyago is quoted to have said: “We need you more than ever before, you need no reminder that local government alone cannot win this colossal battle against the legacy of apartheid that still lingers and persistent socio-economic challenges of the day”. He ap-pealed to home-based carers and care-givers to do more to reach out to orphans, child-headed families, the elderly and the disabled in rural areas.

Khanyago also met with sector depart-ments, business leaders and entrepreneurs to create an environment that is conducive for businesses to grow and flourish. “This is because it is also our interest that you as businesses do well, we need your businesses to flourish and our local economy to grow so we can deal with the challenges that face this government – the key issue being unemploy-ment which you are addressing in your varied business activities. That means every business that miscarries and every business that closes down is an opportunity gone down the drain for us to address the critical scourge of unem-ployment that we are facing,” the Executive

Mayor said.During a meeting with traditional leaders,

concerns were raised about land, the relation-ship between traditional leaders and ward coun-cillors, limited participation of traditional leaders in councils, amongst others. The traditional leaders appealed to Kganyago to advise ward councillors to work closely with them and to re-store their dignity and authority in villages. “We also need more recognition and roles in council meetings that will allow us to participate more in discussions and debates,” Kgoshi Maisha III, chairperson of the District Traditional Leaders’ Forum is reported to have said.

Kganyago also hosted a media gala din-ner at Fusion Boutique Hotel last Thursday and in his address to members of the media, Kganyago alluded to the fact that there should be a relationship of mutual support between the municipality and the media and that the municipality relies on the media to spread the good message of municipal activities and programmes to the public. “The media should showcase what the municipality is doing and reflect critically and objectively on both the good and the bad news. Lazy councillors should be held accountable. It is a given right of the press,” Kganyago said. He also under-took to have regular interactions with the media and regard them as colleagues of the municipality.

CDM Mayor meets with stakeholders


Limpopo is currently topping the charts with regards to response to complaints about ser-vice delivery and tip-offs on corruption-related activities reported to the Presidential hotline as it prioritises concerns raised by the people of the province.

Monitoring the issue in an interview on a provincial cabinet imbizo at Musekhwa north of Makhado on Friday, Provincial Government spokesperson Phuti Seloba said the provincial government has embarked on a new approach based on the premise of giving feedback on issues previously raised by communities. They wanted to return to communities whom they had interaction with before to show progress and not only go to them when they were burn-

ing tyres or disrupting schools, he added.He referred to the imbizo providing Premier

Stan Mathabatha and Members of the Execu-tive Council (Exco) the opportunity to follow up on concerns raised during a meeting with the same community in 2012. Seloba said in the meantime a building at a local school, a library and a stretch of tar road had been completed since, all undertakings the provincial govern-ment could give feedback on.

Another significant achievement was the introduction of cell reception to the area, he stressed. Sketching the magnitude of the need for such a service in the past, he used the ex-ample of a nurse in uniform hoisting herself into a tree to secure a signal to summon an ambu-lance. After the provision of a network earlier this year people in the area could now also own cell phones, Seloba pointed out.

Born and bred in Lebokwakgomo, Ma-homane experienced the fashion lifestyle of Johannesburg and Cape Town and recently moved back to his hometown after realis-ing that Polokwane is where he needs to be. He said with the ever-increasing population in Johannesburg it is only a matter of time before people decides to explore new avenues to invest in and Limpopo provides the perfect location.

Twenty-eight year old Mashile has been a fashion fanatic since childhood and loves colour, print, lines, fabrics and threads and the ability to combine these to suit a person per-fectly is a dream come true, she said. She said to embark on her passion to create fashion she designed the Roka Roko (Make a Dress) range in pursuit of creating jobs through fashion.

Ngobeni hails from Limpopo, but grew up in Soweto and finds her inspiration from nature. She said her love for art started when her grandmother made beadwork. “My vision is to see the South African fashion industry grow and for the people to start supporting local designers and brands,” Ngobeni said.

Maluleke is a single mother and business-woman and is the owner of PXM Creations (All thing Xigaza), a fast growing clothing produc-tion company, due to the high demand of Tsonga fashion forward garments.

Creating fashion from passionhosted the Limpopo Fashion and Crafts show-case at Cosmo Leisure Conference Centre on Friday.

Awarded by CNN as Africa’s hottest new fashion designer in 2013 and Africa’s fin-est top ten African designer by GlamChic in 2014, Mahomane said he is dedicated to high quality craftsmanship with an ambition to create beautiful tailor-made garments that are accompanied with an uncompromised quality to detail. “I am inspired to produce that clas-sic balance between fabric and needle which brings together a well-crafted hand-made masterpiece which is designed to compliment and not replace what a person would desire to see themselves wearing,” Mahomane said and added that he finds inspiration from real woman like the late African singer Miriam Makeba and the historical figure Joan of Arc.

Mahomane said the concept behind the show came after a feasible study on the impact of fashion to improve the economy of South Africa was conducted in the province. He said he realised there is a huge lack of support systems in place for Limpopo-based designers to promote their brands of designs, arts and crafts and tools for business relations to ensure successful trading.

“The vision behind the fashion show is to create a new business hub in the province that will rival with the likes of Johannesburg, Cape Town and KwaZulu-Natal’s entertain-ment industry,” Mahomane said and added

OBSERVERSeptember 4, 2014 NEWSHalf new top

leadership for Limpopo MKMVA>> Three in top leadership re-elected unopposed>> Gathering took place prematurely after revising of national structureYOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

Half of the top leadership of the provincial structure of Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association (MKMVA) was re-elected unopposed during the past weekend confer-ence in Magoebaskloof.

It was learnt that John Ngobeni was re-elected as Provincial Chair of MKMVA, Lulamile Jack as his deputy and Liberty Mmela as Secretary. Andries Machoshoane and Jonas Baloyi were elected as Deputy Secretary and Treasurer respectively.

Referring to the provincial structure going to conference the last time in 2012, Jack said the gathering took place prematurely after a revising of the national structure. The event commenced on Friday and came to an end on Sunday.

He said they focussed on service delivery to members as well as communities in general, the political situation both provincially and nationally, the character and behaviour of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the con-duct of Public Protector Thuli Madonsela and the administration of the province.

Key was the issue of service delivery to destitute MKMVA members, he stressed. It was worrisome, he added, that the African National Congress (ANC) was slow in attend-ing to the problems of their members.

A critical matter raised was the suspen-sion of one of their members in the employ of Greater Tubatse Municipality after allegedly blowing the whistle on corruption, an issue that was going to necessitate their interven-tion, he said.

On future developments he said they were preparing to conduct door-to-door campaigns to visit communities and not wait for elections to talk to their people. They simultaneously intended to put more pres-sure on all spheres of government to step up on service delivery to the masses of the country and would guard against corruption, Jack added.

Speakers included Gilbert Kganyago of the South African Communist Party (SACP), Thabo Mokone of the ANC’s Provincial Work-ing Committee (PWC), Musa Chabane of the ANC Youth League (Ancyl), Theo Makula of the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) and Gerald Twala of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu).

Water supply under strainBARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

Water levels at the various reservoirs in and around Polokwane remain low and residents are urged to continue to use water sparingly especially while no rain is being predicted for the area yet.

The latest report by the Polokwane Munici-pality stated that on Tuesday the 50 mega litre reservoir stood at 16% and the new 30 mega litre reservoir at only 10% of its capacity.

The reservoir in Potgieter Avenue contained 75% of its capacity while the main reservoir in Seshego is at 64%. The reservoir in Extension 34 stands at 95%.

Tidimalo Chuene, Manager Communications and Marketing of the municipality, said that water usage in the city is currently very high, supply is under strain and residents are urged to use water sparingly.

Elke keer wanneer ‘n boom geplant word, word ‘n stukkie natuur weer aan die natuur geskenk en help ons mee om die omgewing groen te hou.

Die onmisbare rol wat bome as suurstof-gewers in die lewensiklus speel, word jaarliks met Boomplantdag onderstreep. Ter viering van Boomplantdag en –week, gee Cornie Odendal, kwekery-eienaar en natuurliefhebber ons opnuut perspektief.

Vanjaar se bome van die jaar is die laventel-boom, genus heteropyxis en die witysterhout, vepris lanceolata.

Hoekom plant ons bome en leer ander om bome te plant?

Bome voorsien ons van die suurstof wat ons nodig het om te leef.

Bome het ‘n enorme invloed op die reënval. Hoe meer bome afgekap word, hoe laer word die plaaslike reënval. Die tendens kan omge-draai word; plant baie bome, en die reënval

sal styg. Bome voorsien natuurlike skaduwee wat in

die somer baie belangrik is.Bome maak baie goeie windbreke.Bome se wortels speel ‘n belangrike rol

in die voorkoming van erosie – veral dié met meer aggressiewe wortels. Baie bome voorsien ons van eetbare vrugte. Heelwat bome en plante het medisinale waarde.

Bome voorsien voëls van nesmaakplek, nesmateriaal, sitplek en kos.

Bome word gebruik vir vuurmaakhout, meubelhout en konstruksiehout. Dis nie verkeerd om bome af te kap vir vuurmaakhout nie, solank ons vervang wat ons gebruik. Die kos wat ons eet, word spesifiek vir die doel gekweek. Bome word ook spesifiek geplant vir die maak van mynstutte, meubels, vuur-houtjies ens. Net so moet ons ook bome plant vir vuurmaakhout in plaas daarvan om die bos uit te roei.

Statistics SA targeted the media during a com-munity and regional media workshop that took place at the district offices of Statistics SA last Wednesday.

The focus of the workshop, presented on an interactive basis, was to inform the media of the activities of Statistics SA and to foster a good relationship between Statistics SA and the media.

Trevor Oosterwyk, Executive Manager of Corporate Communication of Statistics SA, in his address alluded to the fact that the

media has a message for the community. The statistics collected by government has to be analysed by experts and the media has to con-vey it to the community in a responsible and accurate way. “Public opinion is informed by the media and the media has to be independ-ent. If the government owns the media, their output is regarded as propaganda,” he said. He concluded by saying that the role of the media is also to educate the community.

Other speakers were Nthambelini Mukw-evho, Provincial Executive Manager: Stats SA, Thanyani Ravhura, Provincial Director and Lesedu Dibakwane, acting Manager, Media Relations.

When Bathepa Maja’s father, upon the completion of her training as a nurse, told her that the nursing profession was not for

her but for the community, he unknowingly set her life on a journey that has and continues to change lives.

As a child Maja, now the owner and manager of the Sentahle Community Home Based Care Organ-isation (CHBC) in Setaseng, Ga-Maja, always en-joyed nursing others even though she had no idea what the inside of a hospital looked like. However, with the encouragement of her father and her own burning passion to help, she not only made it her task to help heal the sick but also to teach others how to do the same.

Although born in Pretoria Maja, now 77, completed primary school in Polokwane before the family moved back to Pretoria and she was enrolled at Lady Selbourne High School where she obtained her Junior Certificate. Teaching the Junior Primary classes she soon became bored and enrolled at the then Pretoria General Hospital as a nurse in 1957.

“I fell pregnant in 1959 and had to put my stud-ies on hold until 1964 when I was again employed as an assistant nurse at the same hospital,” Maja said recalling how her life journey then led to the former Livingston Hospital in Port Elizabeth (PE) where she obtained her nursing qualification.

“In 1971 I obtained my midwife qualification at Elim Hospital and started working as a professional nurse at Groothoek Hospital in Zebediela. I was transferred back to PE to obtain my Diploma in Pae-diatrics and enjoyed it so much that I started train-ing people in Paediatrics. In 1983 I spent a year in London, Manchester and Sussex in England where I learnt more about caring for children,” she said.

Maja completed her Diploma in Nursing Adminis-

tration in 1984 at the former University of the North and continued working at the former Groothoek and Blouberg Hospitals until her retirement in 2000.

“Like a mustard seed, Sentahle (which means do not abandon, reject or neglect me because I’m old) Community Home Based Care Organisation started in my parents old house in 2001. I turned it into a classroom and accommodation after I saw the desperate need for primary health care in the community. I was never going to retire and stay at home, my wish was to continue with my nursing career to help my community,” Maja stressed and continued to say that she cared for the hungry for three years using her own money before she man-aged to secure sponsorships from various organisa-tions to buy food and school uniforms for learners from 15 schools in the area.

“From there the centre grew in strength every year. I was the provincial winner in the Shoprite/Checkers Woman of the Year Awards in 2006 and while working in the community, I realised that many people didn’t have ID documents or birth cer-tificates and were living in extremely poverty. This prompted me to start the drop-in centre, not only to feed the hungry, but also, with the assistance of the Raith Foundation, apply on their behalf for the necessary documents to register for grants at the South African Social Security Agency,” this tireless community worker explained.

She said Sentahle CHBC also recently registered the Maja Older Persons Service Centre where the senior citizens keep fit by doing physical exercises, gardening or play sport. “I am waiting for the Polo-kwane Municipality to earmark a plot which I can convert into a soccer field for the aged,” Maja said.

She has no intention of slowing down and enjoys her retirement because she still has many projects she wants to complete such as establish-ing a day care centre for the aged because most people in the area has nobody to take care of them during the day. “My wish is that all home based

care organisations have qualified nurses or assistant nurses who has the necessary knowledge and skills to care for a person who suffers because of a stroke, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis or cerebral palsy. My records show that since Sentahle (CHBC) started, the death rate decreased from 154 deaths per year in 2005 to 20 deaths per year in March 2014,” Maja proudly said and added that she would like to thank to sponsors for the generous donations throughout the years with the main sponsor being Meropa Casino & Entertainment World who donated the building, furniture, first aid kits and much more.

Maja said every person was born with a purpose and potential to be a risk taker, to exceed the ex-pectations of your spectators and to be a servant.

“My journey of a thousand kilometres started with a single step. This is truly a calling, not just a career,” she firmly concluded.

From another milieu thousands of air miles away from her native province of Limpopo, Annekie Joubert has been docu-

menting the life and times of Berlin missionary Carl Hoffmann after stumbling upon references in a library in Berlin a few years back.

On Monday morning the petite blonde aca-demic, a Northern Sotho lecturer at Humboldt University in Berlin, for the first time shared the outputs of an extensive research project with an audience during a presentation at the University of Limpopo (UL).

The presentation titled The Hoffmann Collection of Cultural Heritage included the screening of a biographical film on the clergy-man who spent his last days in erstwhile Pie- tersburg until his death in 1962 as a natural-ised citizen of South Africa at the age of 94. Before taking to the podium Joubert explained that a 748-page book, currently with Dutch publishers, was also in the making and a databank with internet access was being developed. She underpinned the importance of visual material in the field of research. Her

invitation to visit UL was spearheaded by Ger-man lecturer Margrit Schulze.

Addressing her audience partly in Sepedi and English, she reflected on research by her-self and five other participant researchers with a presentation enhanced by visuals that cre-ated a genre for stepping back in time. Joubert was accompanied by oral history researcher Sam Moifatswane, who acts as field researcher on the team.

Discussing the aims of the project, she re-ferred to recognising the contribution of Hoff-mann and his interlocutors in the documenta-tion of cultural heritage as a national treasure and importance of uniting the material in one collection.

With the film, which Joubert directed and for which she wrote the script, she took the audience on a journey of yonder years. It starts out with an introduction to the work and a drive to Hoffmann’s hometown, Sulęcin before Joubert meets the viewer again on Cape soil with a continuation of an interesting narration. It further investigates the life of the young Hoffmann, a member of the Berlin Mis-sion Society who sailed from Hamburg to the Cape in 1894, taking him to mission stations

at, among others, Neuhalle in modern-day Modimolle, Gutu in the then Mashonaland, Arkona in Sekhukhuneland, Mphume-Kratzen-stein (which later became known as Mase-alama) in nearby Woodbush Mountains as well as Botshabelo.

Hoffmann, who took over at the mission station at Mphume-Kratzenstein in 1904 for the next 30 years, was described as an inquisi-tive ethnographer and a prolific writer who generally illustrated his personal diaries with drawings of scenes on everyday occurrences like accidents with ox wagon. The audience was captivated by tales of a man who largely focused his writings on the Pedi and Mamabolo people based on discussions with evangelical assistants Filipus Bopape and Moses Rakoma between the years 1912 and 1958, while also contributing typed articles to various German publications.

The presentation provided a follow-up to Polokwane Observer’s featuring of Joubert’s research after getting a glimpse of her work during a rare visit to Masealama in the past. It was a quiet day in the settlement, perfect for visualising images of cultural interaction between role players depicted in the film.

The tranquil environment, recently estab-lished animal hospital and dedicated animal lovers at CRWCC will ensure that any injured animals and birds get the best treatment possi-bly, as proven when a farmer brought a brown snake eagle with a broken wing to the centre on Saturday afternoon. Prior to the incident, Crown owner René Olivier had successfully released two caracals at a secret location be-forehand that had been rehabilitated and cared for at the centre.

Upon arrival at CRWCC, the snake eagle was thoroughly examined to establish the cause of the broken wing. A gunshot wound seemed to be the cause but it was decided that an x-ray would be necessary on Mon-day and the beautiful raptor with the striking golden eyes was also found to be ringed, which Olivier explained would help to find the origin of the bird.

The snake eagle was then stabilised, treated with antibiotics and electrolytes and housed at the animal hospital until the x-rays could be taken on Monday by a local vet.

The local vet is also an expert in fixing birds with broken wings and hopefully the eagle will be able to take to the skies again after reha-bilitation at the centre. Crown has two other snake eagles being treated for broken wings after flying into Eskom power cables.

Despite empty promises from big corporate businesses to assist CRWCC with the construc-tion of a big aviary to house injured birds of prey or poisoned vultures, donations have not been forthcoming.

Funding is also necessary to cover veteri-nary bills, medicines and the cost of feeding the injured birds and animals.

Interested businesses and individuals that would like to contribute towards a good cause at CRWCC can contact Olivier on 072 513 9149 or email [email protected]. Or check out their website on www.crownrehab.co.za.

>> PMR award can be used as marketing tool and motivation for personnelRC MyBuRgh>>[email protected]

PMR.africa recently acknowledged the contribution and initiatives, strategies and efforts by the business fraternity in

Limpopo during an annual PMR.africa Lim-popo Provincial Survey Leaders and Achievers Awards Breakfast held at Bolivia Lodge.

Representatives from big corporate compa-nies to smaller enterprises were awarded dia-mond, gold, silver or bronze award from PMR.africa Chief Executive Officer Johan Hattingh.

“A PMR award is not only to acknowledge a business’s efforts and contribution towards the local market, but it can also be used as marketing and sales tool as well as motivation for personnel. The award status criteria are Diamond Arrow ranked first overall and rated at least 4,10 out of 5, Golden Arrow first or second overall and rated at least 3,75 and Sil-ver/Bronze Arrow rated at least 3,4,” Hattingh explained.

The awards are the culmination of a research process whereby companies and institutions are rated based on respondents’ perceptions with a strong focus on evaluating and measuring customer service and customer satisfaction. The awards are indicators of a

company, department or institution’s compe-tencies.

His message to people in the business sector is: “Respect yourself, respect eve-rybody you deal with and a company will flourish.”

Delivering the keynote address Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng ap-plauded all recipients of awards, saying that the city’s economy is continuously growing and that Polokwane remains the preferred choice for thousands of investors. Referring to the ongoing struggle with the provision of basic services she said: “We know the provision of water, sanitation and electricity put extra pres-sure on local businesses and the moratorium on development is still in place which further hampers growth.”

She added that the municipality is busy replacing the water infrastructure at some areas where the system is older than 60 years. “I am confident that the future looks bright. With the smart city concept Polo-kwane will soon be a stable service provi-sion city hosting flourishing businesses,” she said urging guests to respect municipal bylaws and to be actively involved in decision taking processes to benefit the city.

Hard hit consumers are in for some relief from the escalating fuel hikes when the Department of Energy announced in a press statement on Monday that the pump prices of petrol, diesel, illuminating paraffin and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will decrease from yesterday (Wednesday).

The press statement further stated that the reasons for the fuel price decreases are

mainly due to (a) the drop in the price of crude oil which led to a decrease in the prices of petroleum products on international markets; and (b) the stability of the Rand against the US Dollar on average when compared to the previous period of adjustment. South Africa’s fuel prices are adjusted on a monthly basis, influenced by international and local factors.

The Minister of Energy also approved a re-tail margin increase of 4,2 cents per litre with effect from 3 September to accommodate the

recent salary increase of nine percent for fuel pump attendants and cashiers.

Based on current local and international factors, the fuel prices in South Africa for Sep-tember 2014 will be adjusted as follows:

• Petrol (both grades) will decrease by 67 cents/litre

• Diesel will decrease by 25,38 cents/litre• Illuminating paraffin will decrease by 25

cents/litre• LPG will decrease by 108 cents/kilogram.

>> Fresh seafood direct from the coast>> A fine selection of wines for every tasteBARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

An outing to Adega Restaurant in Bendor on Sunday provides the ideal opportunity to treat the whole family to a mouth

watering buffet or a choice of specialist dishes prepared the Portuguese way, washed down with a wide selec-tion of South African and Portu-guese wines as well as classic drinks to satisfy every taste.

The buffet consists of prawns, trinchado (beef cubes) in a creamy brown sauce, chicken pieces, half shell mussels, hake, ribs, prawn and chicken rissoules and pizza slices.

For vegetables there are sweet pumpkin, baby potatoes, mixed vegetables and potato chips. Bread with a rich garlic sauce, seasoned rice and a fresh Greek salad complete the picture

while a variety of sushi offers a great starter. At R149 per person, the buffet is excellent value for money and the preferred choice of most diners.

For those who prefer something more defined, the menu offers a variety of combos like the LM-style Chicken and Prawn Combo with calamari as an extra and the Surf and Turf containing grilled steak with a choice between prawns or calamari.

Adega’s succulent Pork Ribs and Prawn Combo is also a favourite to consider. Grilled Lobster, Lobster Thermidor and Adega’s unsur-passed Prawn Curry and seafood platters are a must for seafood lovers.

A selection of meat dishes and cuts prepared in Portuguese style is one of Adega’s specialities and will ensure that every taste is satisfied.

A choice of decadent deserts like the Iced Nougat and Berry Terrine and the malva pud-ding served with warm custard are available to round off your meal.

Traditional Portuguese cuisine still the best

Vrouens van die stad en omgewing het hul verlede Woensdagaand ter wille van ‘n goeie saak in hul veelkleurige feesgewaad uitgedos met selfversierde hoede. Elkeen het ‘n sak of handsak met items wat aan slagoffers van gesinsgeweld geskenk kan word, saamgebring.

Sowat 170 dames het aandagtig geluis-ter na Carla de Jager se aanbieding oor gesinsgeweld. De Jager het ook sangitems gelewer.

Volgens Linda de Witt van Pam Gold-ing, wat die geleentheid gereël het, was daar bykans geen uitgawes aan die funksie verbonde nie aangesien die meeste van die items deur goedgunstige borge geskenk is. Die items in die sakke word geskenk aan die polisie se eenheid vir gesinsgeweld, kinderbeskerming en seksuele misdrywe (GKS), Polokwane Plek van Veiligheid, Kansa se TLC-projek en die Polokwane Kinder- en Gesinsorgvereniging.

Aansienlik meer boemelaars was Vrydag in die stad doenig nadat RealNet Eiendomme Polokwane se agente die strate ten bate van Kansa ingevaar het.

Gewapen met Cuppa for Cansa-blikkies, plakkate en verslete klere het die span vroeg die ysige en winde-rige weer op die hoek van Generaal Viljoen en Generaal Maritzstraat, Marshall en Websterstraat en by Mall of the North en Mitchell House trotseer en altesaam R1 096,85 ingesamel. Die bedelsessie is met ‘n heerlike warm ontbyt by Amarillo Spur in Mall of the North afgesluit.

Administrasiebestuurder van RealNet Eiendomme Polokwa-

ne, Katryn van der Merwe sê die agente het ‘n Betterbond Road Show bygewoon met die uitdaging om as boemelaars in die strate te bedel want dit is die eerste stap nader aan hul einddoel om as professionele agente die beste in die stad te wees. “Ons het die uitda-ging aanvaar en R1 096,85 vir Kansa ingesamel. Baie dankie aan elke persoon wat geld gegee het. Die man wat sy baadjie aan ‘n agent oorhandig het, kan dit by die kantore in Platinumpark kom afhaal,” sê Van der Merwe.

Sharon Stander, gemeen-skapsmobiliseerder van Kansa sê dit is wonderlik om te weet dat daar nog soveel besighede is wat bereid is om so ‘n projek te ondersteun en doen ‘n beroep op ander instansies om ook in te spring en te help.

Ongeveer 14 jaar gelede het dit as ‘n stokperd-jie begin, maar vandag is die gesogte kweker, Pieter van Eeden se jaarlikse Cliviaskou een van die populêre geleenthede in die provinsie wat belangstellendes van heinde en ver lok.

Clivia-liefhebbers het van vroeg Saterdag-

Boslelies kondig begin van lente aanoggend Van Eeden se deurdrumpel deurgetrap om sy pragblomme te bewonder of selfs ‘n paar vir hul eie tuine aan te skaf. “Die skou het die afgelope paar jaar net aanhou groei en jaarliks is meer plante in ‘n groter verskei-denheid kleure beskikbaar. Vanjaar was geen uitsondering met die blommeprag nie,” sê Van Eeden wat self sy plante kruisbestuif. Hy koop gereeld plante elders in die land om sy clivias of boslelies se genetiese kwaliteit te verseker en dit is geen verrassing dat sy plante vir soveel as R5 000 verkoop nie.

“Dit is die beste ontspanning na ‘n lang dag se werk. Clivias kruisbestuif so maklik en dit is baie opwindend om nuwe kleure te sien sodra hulle begin blom,” sê hy oor sy liefde vir die pragtige inheemse plante.

Persone wat vanjaar se skou misgeloop het kan nou reeds ‘n inskrywing in hul dagboeke vir die begin van September 2015 maak wan-neer Van Eeden weer trots met sy plantprag sal pronk. Pieter van Eeden tussen sy clivias.

When you need a sleek and sporty design with sensational comfort in a vehicle then the new Opel Astra sedan

is perfect for the lonely traveller as well as the family man who craves sportiness combined with luggage space and driving excellence.

Opel Astra sedan has dynamic looks and it connects the driver to the road through great steering and a superb suspension. Responsive and efficient engines are added to this mean machine which results in an exhilarating driv-ing experience.

The Opel design team gave the new Astra a very stylish and sleek silhouette. The roofline arcs gently over the passenger area and descends in a seamless sweep through the steeply raked rear screen to the sculpted aerodynamic lip at the end of the short rear deck. And because the raked C-pillar stretches so far back into the rear deck area, it visually conceals the size of the trunk in an elegant fashion. The feature line running through the door handles becomes more defined towards the rear, creating a muscular shoulder effect below the base of the C-pillar and the rear deck.

The rear is characterised by the steeply raked rear screen, the integrated deck spoiler, and the broad sweep of the sculpted bumper. The design of the tail lights echoes those of other Astra models, and the subtle crease which links them adds width and avoids any impression of bulkiness.

The exterior design is only a fracture of what Opel really wants to achieve with this new model. The interior tells a story of superb materials used to design a comfortable cabin filled with interesting gadgets and safety features.

The Opel Astra offers storage possibilities that are as numerous and practical. Eighteen storage compartments include door pock-ets front and rear with bottle holders, a driver’s storage bin, cup holders, a large glove box, and front and rear centre armrests with closed storage compart-ments.

The new range offers a 1,4T and 1,6T litre engine in either the Essentia, Enjoy or Cosmo model. The 1,4 Essentia is also available with automatic trans-mission. The Essentia and Cosmo en-gines are equipped with a turbo result-ing in the 1,4-litre to generate 103 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque while

Opel Astra sedan – a lot of brag with no lag

>> Connects the driver to the road through great steering and superb suspension>> Protects occupants with exem-plary passive safety technologies

the 1,6-litre turbocharged Cosmo performs at 132 kW and 230 Nm. These two models respectively offer a combined fuel consumption of 5,9 and 6,8 litres of fuel per 100km.

The Opel Astra is not only equipped with state-of-the-art active safety systems, but also protects its occupants with exemplary passive safety technologies. Robust bumpers and highly efficient energy absorption systems deal with minor impacts. The bumper beams are pre-cisely positioned for maximum pro-tec-

tion in car to car low speed impacts, helping cut repair bills and leading to excellent insur-ance classification.

The new Opel Astra sedan is available at Westvaal Polokwane. Visit the dealership at 86 Landdros Maré Street or contact them at 015 297 1149.

The new Opel astra sedan’s sleek design and sporty fea-tures makes it fit for both the family

With living costs ever on the rise and many would-be homeowners strug-gling to afford purchasing a property

on their own, the concept of buying a house with a partner and thereby sharing costs and increasing the chances of a loan approval, is fast gaining ground.

Adrian Goslett, Chief Executive Officer of RE/MAX of Southern Africa is quoted in a statement to have said that co-ownership is becoming a very attractive option for unmar-ried buyers who want to get into the market as soon as they can.

“Many consumers are aware of the fact that the market is changing and beginning to favour sellers. Inventory of homes available to buyers is in short supply at the moment, making it increasingly more difficult for buyers to get their foot in the door. Choosing to buy a property with a partner, friend or family mem-ber gives buyers more options and strengthens their financial standing,” Goslett said, adding that in today’s property market affordability is essential, and partnering with someone can make the venture of purchasing a home far more affordable for both parties.

First National Bank (FNB) Homeloan data reveals a significant increase in joint applica-tions over the last quarter. Goslett pointed out that this is largely due to the fact that it is far easier to get bond approval on a dual income as opposed to a single income. “The average bond issued is between R950 000 and R1 million, which means that the applicant would have to earn a gross salary of around R30 000 to qualify based on an interest rate

of 9,25% and a repayment period of 20 years. The simple fact is that there are many South Africans who fall way below this salary bracket, but who still want to own property. For them, applying for finance with a partner can make that bond amount feasible.

He noted that while many banks no longer offer consumers joint cheque or savings ac-counts, due to the vast number of buyers

who are choosing to co-own with another party, many lenders do offer joint home loan accounts or mortgage packages that cater specifically for this situation.Goslett provided a few pointers to buyers

applying for a joint home loan:• Shop around to find the best home loan to

suit your requirements• Have all relevant documentation on hand

when applying• Monthly bond repayments consist primarily

of interest repayments, so know the interest rate payable on the loan and reassess after a five year period.

• As a rule of thumb, the bond repayment along with taxes and property insurance shouldn’t exceed 25% to 30% of your joint income

The Deputy Minister of Arts and Culture, Rejoice Mabudaf-hasi along with Polokwane Executive Mayor, Thembi Nkadimeng and TV presenter and actor, Aaron Moloisi will be interacting with the children on Friday.

NBW activities will continue on Saturday at the Polokwane City Library from 08:00 when there will be creative learning, a reading com-petition, youth conversations, book donations and motivational talks.

“This is a good cause which contributes towards late former President of South Africa, Tata Nelson Mandela’s legacy around education and improving the plight of our younger gener-ation through reading and writing. This marks the beginning of an important partnership that strategically aligns the Polokwane Literary Fair to the national agenda thus bringing it closer to realising its vision of being a national and continental thought-leading brand,” Polokwane Executive Mayor, Thembi Nkadimeng, is quoted to have said.

Moloisi, who hails from Polokwane and also a NBW Ambassador says, “I continue to support National Book Week because the importance of reading can never be over-emphasised. With the media platform, I’m able to carry the message of NBW further.”

The Minister of Arts and Culture, Nathi Mthethwa accompanied by book sector stake-holders, marked the launch of National Book Week 2014 during an event highlighting the power of books held at Emoyeni Conference Centre, Parktown, last Friday.

Curro Heuwelkruin was die naweek ‘n miernes van bedrywighede toe Mnr en Mej Heuwelkruin Vrydagaand aangewys en Saterdag deur ‘n drama werkwinkel en teaterproduksie, Titanik gevolg is.

Die geleenthede is deur 7de Laan akteurs,

Diaan Lawrenson (Paula) en Christo Davids (Errol) bygewoon. Lawrenson se man, Jody Abrahams bekend vir sy rolle in Safe House, The Quarry en Scandal was ook teenwoordig. Hulle was deel van die paneel beoordelaars wat besluit het dat Wernich Kachelhoffer en Lara van Niekerk die kroon as Mnr en Mej Heuwelkruin verdien het. Die eerste en tweede

prinse is Nardus Snyman en Zandré de Vos met Anke Jordaan en Minette Snyman wat as eerste en tweede prinsesse aangewys is. Die Mnr en Mej Fotogenies-titel het aan Anke Jordaan en Ross Pretorius gegaan. Die tema van die aand was Superhero.

Lawrenson en Kruinies se kuns en dramaleerkrag, Nicole Senekal het die drama werkswinkel vir verskeie leerders van die stad behartig. “Leerders was baie opgewonde. Lawren-son het aspekte soos 7de Laan-beginsels en improvisasie bespreek waarna die leerders in groepe ge-deel is en elke groep ‘n geskrewe toneel uit 7de Laan moes doen wat op ‘n multikame-rastel opgevoer word,” sê Senekal. Sy verduidelik dat ‘n multikamerastel, waar akteurs gedurig van verskillende kameras bewus moet wees, een van die moei-likste aspekte van drama is om onder die knie te kry.

Saterdag is met ‘n teaterproduksie, Ti-tanik deur Abrahams en Davids afgesluit. Die skreeusnaakse produksie het die gehoor laat skater-lag. Die produksie gaan oor Durrie (Abrahams) wat sy werk verloor het, drie maande agterstallig met sy huur is en geen geld vir bier het nie. Hy ontvang ‘n brief in die pos wat sê hy moet bewys dat sy groot-oupagrootjie op die skip, Titanic wat in 1912 gesink het, was om sy erfporsie te kan eis.

Eagle’s Nest Christian School and Capricorn High School battled it out for the Execu-tive Mayor’s Trophy Debate Tournament

finals in the Jack Botes Hall on Wednesday.Eagle’s Nest, as the proposing team and

Capricorn as the opposing team squared it out on the motion ‘In the light of recent develop-ments of the new integrated transport system in Polokwane the idea of a feasible unified public transport system in the city is a counter-productive one’.

Both teams maintained excellent argu-ments during the first round of the debate. Dire Masebe from Eagle’s Nest Christian School made for lighter moments with his quick and quirky responses to the opposing team during the open floor event.

One of the judges, Mark Markgraaf said the standard of the debate escalates annually and this year he wasn’t disappointed. He said although it was a difficult task to judge the two teams, he is honoured to be part of the judging panel. “The judges’ criteria included content, strategy and style,” Markgraaf said.

Both teams gave their best, but Eagle’s Nest Christian School took home the Experienced Team Floating Trophy and books for the school library while Capricorn High School, as the runners-up, received books for the school library.

Khaiso High School won the Inexperience Team floating trophy and books for the school library and Taxila Secondary School was the runner-up taking home books for the school library.

The Best Experienced Speaker was Lehlogonolo Letsoalo from Northern Academy and the runner-up was Mapitsi Tladi from Eagle’s Nest Christian School.

The Best Inexperienced Speaker was Mmanare Legodi from Taxila High School with the runner up as Nompumelelo Mahlangu from Mountain View Secondary School. The Best Experienced Chairperson went to Lerato Moloto from Capricorn High School and the Best Inexperienced Chairperson was Kgothatso Makaleng from Khaiso High School. Olgans van Zyl from Mountain View Secondary School was the runner-up.

The floating trophies, books and book vouchers were sponsored by Lafarge South Africa.

Three Grade 11 learners of Taxila Secondary School, Nthabiseng Motona, Dipuo Nthane and Tebogo Mamabolo left for Sweden on Friday to participate in the International Junior Water Prize competition currently taking place in Stockholm.

The trio represented the province at South African Youth Water Prize in July and were named the national winners in both the awareness and invention categories. They will compete with learners from 30 other countries for the top prize of $15,000.

During the competition, organised by the Department of Water and Sanitation, the learn-ers were required to indentify water related problems, initiate and recommend solutions that will solve an indentified problem. They came up with a rain water harvesting project that looks at purifying rain water to the level of drinkability and this project won them the competition.

Last Wednesday Lepelle Northern Water (LNW) arranged a farewell event for the learn-ers where the senior members of the organisa-tion wished the learners well in their journey.

LNW acting Chief Executive, Phineas Legodi

said they are proud to be associated with such excellence that produced innovative solu-tions for use in the water sector. The entity sponsored Taxila principal Tlou Ramara’s ticket so that he can accompany the learners. “We are humbled by the dedicated efforts of the educators, management and indeed the learn-ers of the school. As Lepelle Northern Water, an entity of government mandated to provide bulk water-related services, we are concerned with initiatives that seek and aim to optimise available water, minimise water-treatment costs and ultimately ensure consistent, quality drinkable water for our communities,” Legodi said during the send off ceremony at LNW’s headquarters last Wednesday.

Dipuo said they hope to do the province and the country proud at the international event. “This is a great opportunity for us to show the world what we are capable off and we promise to give our best during the compe-tition,” she said.

Ramara said they are happy to have a crop of innovative learners who are also determined to make the best of their lives. “Their will to excel in school programmes will motivate other learners at the school. The competition will give them exposure and enhance their knowl-edge in science, water and sanitation,” he said.

Die seuns- en meisieskoshuis van Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) spog nou elk met hul eie kos- huiswapen wat deur koshuis-leiers, Richardt Stroebel en Emil Glas geïnisieer is.

Die wapens is deur Elizabeth Grobler, ‘n graad 12-leerder ontwerp.

PHS-skakelbeampte, Anna-Marié Schoeman sê Grobler het die skoolwapen as inspi-rasie gebruik. “Ek het van die begin af geweet ek moet die steenbok op die skoolwapen op die meisieskoshuis se wapen gebruik en op die seunskoshuis se wapen moes dié bokkie plek maak vir ‘n koedoe wat immers meer manlik en ‘n voorstelling van die Bosveld is,” sê Grobler en verwys na die louriertakkies wat op die lourierkrans van PHS se erekleure dui. ‘n Duidelike sirkel, geïnspireer deur die son op PHS se skoolwapen, omsluit die simboliek. Eie aan die gees onder PHS se koshuisinwoners, is besluit om die woorde, Carpe Diem (Gryp die dag) as leuse aan te bring.

“Dit was vir my ‘n voorreg om die wapens te ontwerp en dit sal aangenaam wees om oor 50 jaar steeds iets van myself hier te vind,” sê Grobler.

The Mitchell House College Grade 8 and 9 learners excelled at the Waterberg Afrikaanse Taal en Kultuurvereniging (ATKV) Competition that was held in Bela-Bela recently when they achieved 95% and 97% respectively.

The learners gave it all in the drama-tised choir and poetry categories to get the

outstanding results and make their educator, Juanita van den Heever very proud. The learn-ers are awaiting an invitation from the State Theatre in Pretoria to give performances there later this year.

In addition, Van den Heever has been invited to receive an award on behalf of the learners at an ATKV gala evening award dinner that was held in Polokwane last night (Wednesday).

More than R120 million of Polokwane Munici-pality’s debt book on basic services is owed by residents in Mankweng and when the municipality started

cutting services to non-paying residents on Monday a violent uproar erupted with protest-ers barricading the R71 with burning tyres and damaging vehicles parked at Paledi Mall. “Only 10% of residents in Mankweng pay their accounts on a regular basis while the

majority respond only upon enforcement of credit control processes,” Municipal Market-ing and Communications Manager Tidimalo Chuene said add-ing that the municipality’sTo page 2

On a hot summer’s afternoon pleas by a group of annoyed inviduals are swept away on a blustery August wind, symbolically indicative of numerous attempts in vain to solicit the help of all they could think of at provincial and local government level for their plight to be heard.A discontent group of former Disteneng dwellers is in despair over a relocation process that went horribly wrong, seemingly having been mistakenly dumped on private property earmarked for residential

purposes when originally moved in November last year. Speaking on behalf of the group, David Mbombi told Polokwane Observer that they were relocated by Polokwane Mu-nicipality to a portion of land identified as Extension 106 on 16 November last year after an undertaking to have them relocated to Extension 78 opposite the road from Disteneng.

Most wanted suspect dies in shootout with PoliceROELIEN VORSTER>> [email protected] Mankweng serial rap-ist Frans Kwetepe Thosago (25) was shot and killed by the Police yesterday (Wednesday). Thosago is suspected of having terrorised University of Limpopo students in Mankweng and the surrounding communities for months. Thosago became suspect and wanted following a string of rape cases and attempted murders in the area, Provincial Police Spokesperson, Hang-wani Mulaudzi said. He said a special task team set up to crack these cases were on Tuesday informed of Thosago’s whereabouts by the community. “The Police followed up on the information and found the suspect in an abandoned house in Ga-Makanye village,

Mankweng. Realising that he was surrounded by the Police Thosago fired shots at the offic-ers who in turn returned fire,” Mulaudzi stated.A shoot-out ensued and the suspect was shot and killed. Mulaudzi also said Thosago has been linked to over 10 rape cases. He said the Police will continue to investigate the cases to ensure that no stone is left unturned and that the cases are closed properly. “Although he is the only suspect that is being investigated, we have to make sure no other suspects were involved in the rapes,” he pointed out.

According to Mu-laudzi the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) has been informed about the shoot-out and they will investigate to ensure officers did not abuse their power.

The official handover of a kitchen to the Mufongodi Primary School in Dzanani

Village near Thohoyandou by the Road Accident Fund (Raf) took place on Tuesday last week. A di-lapidated corrugated iron structure was replaced with a functional brick and mortar building catering for the 273 learners of the school.

The Deputy Minister of Transport, Sindisiwe Chikunga officiated at the event that was also attended by the Chairperson of the Raf Board, Ntuthuko Bhengu, RAF Chief Execu-tive Officer Eugene Watson and other key stakeholders.

A press release issued by Raf stated that its Corporate Social Re-sponsibility (CSR) programme con-tinues to provide meaningful com-munity-based solutions which seek to create a socio-economic balance in society, ultimately contributing to the overall improvement of South

Africans’ quality of life. The Raf’s social intervention programmes are guided by five critical pillars, namely poverty alleviation, environmen-tal impact, education, health and road safety. Eugene Watson, Chief Executive Officer of the fund is quoted to have said: “The needs of millions of citizens are simply too great for government to deliver on alone. Those needs have to be addressed in a meaningful way, in a concerted and compassionate drive to touch and uplift our people in a sustainable manner.” Watson concluded that the well-equipped kitchen will promote the nutritional state and well-being of hundreds of learners and that it will in turn aid their learning and development. Ex-tensive information regarding Raf’s service offerings were provided and community members were given the opportunity to register claims directly with Raf, medical undertakings certificates were issued and settlement offers could be made.

Leerders moet moderne tegnologie gebruik om oor onderwerpe navorsing te doen en hul take of projekte moet bewys hoe die omge-wing positief beïnvloed word of hoe mense se lewens daardeur verbeter kan word.

Liza Langenhoven en Ro-ayne Geddes het met hul taak bewys watter handelsmerk brood die vinnigste oor ‘n sekere tyd muf en het die gesondheidswetenskappe senior kategorie-afdeling gewen terwyl Dewald Stroebel se taak oor pasiëntregte tydens dokter- of hospitaalbe-soeke as wenner van die gesondheidsweten-skappe, junior kategorie aangewys is. Rachie van Staden en Celeste Vermeulen se taak oor die effektiefste manier om perde te kalmeer wen die kategorie vir lewenswetenskappe in die senior afdeling.

The rugby development programme between Mitchell House, Northern Academy, Capricorn High School and PEPPS received a generous sponsorship from Vodacom for the players’ rugby jerseys, socks and shorts.

All the players involved with the programme also received a cell phone and 100 MB worth of

free data bundles for a year. The combined team known as the Rangers was established by Fred-erick Romijn, the Director of Sport at Mitchell House in order to improve the standard of rugby at the four schools to compete against the more experienced rugby-playing schools in Polokwane.

Now after their first season together, the Rangers will be participating in the Kia Bosveld Rugby Week that kicked off yesterday (Wednes-day) at Hoërskool Pietersburg.

During a dinner event at Adega Restaurant on Saturday the provincial Police cricket team hosted representatives of several local busi-nesses responsible for sponsoring the team with a variety of necessities.

“The aim of the event is for team mem-bers to network with the sponsors and also to thank them for their generous contribution towards the wellbeing of the team,” said coach Jaco van der Linde, adding that the team will represent Limpopo during the National South African Police Service (Saps) T20 Cricket

Championships in North West at the end of the month.

“Whilst the Police provide players with transport and accommodation during the championship, their apparel and kit have to be sourced. This is where our sponsors’ contribution cannot go unnoticed and we extend our greatest gratitude towards them,” Van der Linde said. The sponsors are Re/Max Northland Realty, Anderson & Associates, Sea West Account Managing, Discovery Consult-ing Services Limpopo, Imperial Commercial Limpopo, Cook4Life and Adega Restaurant who sponsored some of the beverages for the evening.

Mountain biking is considered as one of the fastest growing sports in South Africa and the annual EH Hassim

Lentetrap provided ample proof when 382 cyclists participated in Sunday’s race at the Polokwane Game Reserve to provide a colour-ful spectacle for the many animals that could be viewed along the route.

The annual mountain bike race brought about by EH Hassim in collaboration with Polokwane Pedallers Cycle Club is growing in

leaps and bounds and Sunday’s race in the local game reserve added extra excitement as animals such as rhino, giraffe, impala, sable and warthog were among the interested spectators. Afterwards, the race organisers expressed their satisfaction with the huge turn-out for the race, with many contestants making the journey all the way from Gauteng to Polokwane to participate in the race.

The race itself consisted of 32 categories for men and women and a total of R35 000 was up for grabs in prize money. Mountain bikers could enter for the marathon (74 km) and half marathon (37 km) and cash prizes were on of-

fer to the first three finishers in the respective categories. There was also a fun ride (15 km) and a large number of younger riders were present on Sunday to enjoy the fun ride.

A number of smaller sponsors made it possible for everybody that entered the event to receive a goody bag beforehand. Those cyclists that raced for prize money had some challenging sections while others just enjoyed the wonderful scenery and camaraderie of the race. Maurice Ferreira won the Men’s Marathon and Liesl Lourens was tops in the Women’s Marathon. Kombo Bere and Ashley-Lynne Mur-ray won the Men’s and Women’s Half Marathon

races respectively. All cyclists expressed their satisfaction with

the organisation and great atmosphere of the race afterwards. Proceeds from the event will be donated to cancer care and the organisers would like to thank everybody that participated in Sunday’s race for their contribution towards this worthy cause.

The organisers are planning to make the annual EH Hassim Lentetrap a festive weekend next year at the same venue. They plan to include a road race and use the race to create more awareness towards cycling as a sport and a mode of transport.


The Limpopo Blue Bulls u.19 and u.21 Absa B-division rugby teams experienced mixed fortunes in their two away matches over the past two weekends against the Falcons, Border Bulldogs and Eastern Province Kings.

In Brakpan a fortnight ago the u.19 team suffered a narrow 28-35 defeat against the Falcons while the u.21 Limpopo outfit scored a comprehensive 51-17 victory against the same opponents. Last Friday the u.19s scored their second win of the season against the Border Bulldogs in East London with a convincing

39-17 victory, only for the u.21 team to lose 21-36 against Eastern Province a day later in Port Elizabeth.

On Saturday, Limpopo will be on familiar territory at the new Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane when they take on the Griquas u.19 and u.21 teams with coach, Neels Grobler hop-ing for victories in both matches. The match between the u.19 sides will start at 13:00 and the fixture between the u.21 teams kicks off at 15:00.

Entry for both matches is free and local rugby supporters are urged to come out in their numbers to support Limpopo’s top junior rugby players.

Die sportiewe Canseus Saayman is net so tuis op die rugbyveld as wat hy in die swembad is en ryg tans swemmedaljes vir ‘n vale in.

As lid van die Limpopo Tuks Swemklub het die elfjarige graad 6-leerder van Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos, wat reeds nommer 13-skoene volstaan, tydens die afgelope twee swembyeenkomste ‘n allemintige tien goue medaljes ingepalm en drie nuwe rekords opgestel. Na die skitterpres-tasies is Canseus vierde op die ranglys van swemmers, 11 jaar en jonger, van Swem Suid-Afrika.

Ses van sy goue medaljes het hy verlede maand by die onlangse Limpopo Tuks Remax Swembyeenkoms in Bela-Bela gewen waarna hy nog vier goue medaljes by die interprovinsiale swemgala vir kleiner provinsies in Bedford-view, Johannesburg ingeryg het.

Die goue medaljes van die eerste byeenkoms het hy in die 50 m vlinder-, bors-, rug- en vryslag gewen sowel as in die 100 m individuele wisselslag en as lid van die individuele wisselslag aflosspan. By die byeenkoms in Gauteng twee weke later het Canseus nog vier goue medaljes in die 100 m vryslag, 100 m vlinderslag, 200 m individuele wisselslag en as lid van die 200 m wisselslag aflosspan ingepalm. Wat die prestasie merkwaardig maak, is dat dit sy eerste twee byeen-komste as vlak 2-swemmer is.

Die 100 m vlinderslag-rekord het hy boonop met vier sekondes verbeter, die rekord in die 100 m vrystyl met een sekonde en die 200 m individuele wisselslag-rekord met nege sekondes. In die 200 m individuele wisselslag as deel van die Limpopo-span het hy nog ‘n rekord met minder as ‘n sekonde gemis.

Die belowende jong swemmer het as sesjarige by Lim-popo Tuks Swemklub onder leiding van sy huidge afrigter, Ferdinand Bester begin en as agtjarige aan kompetisies begin deelneem. Bester sê Canseus se gewilligheid om hard te oefen, deursettingsvermoë en natuurlike swemtalent is

die faktore wat tot sy sukses lei en hom gehelp het om die nuwe rekords op te stel en sy persoonlike beste tye telkens te verbeter.

“Amerikaner Michael Phelps en Suid-Afrikaanse swem-ster, Chad le Clos is my rolmodelle. Ek wil graag in hul voetspore volg om eendag op Olim-piese vlak te kan meeding. Ek is baie dankbaar vir die swemtalent en liefde vir sport wat die Here vir my gegee het en sal eers wanneer ek ouer is besluit om op rugby- of swem te konsentreer om my land hopelik te verteenwoordig. Dit is altyd vir my lekker om aan galas deel te neem, medaljes te wen en rekords te verbeter.”

Canseus draf as slot of agsteman uit op die rugbyveld en het Limpopo in die o.12 Cravenweekspan verteenwoordig wat in Julie plaasgevind het. As Haaie-ondersteuner is sy rugbyhelde Beast Mtwarira, Odwa Ndu- ngane en JP Pietersen. “Op die veld is dit vir my lekker om iemand plat te duik, ‘n drie te druk en saam in ‘n span te speel,” sê die nederige sportman.

Hy vorder ook goed op akade-miese vlak en meen sport help hom om beter te konsentreer. Sy grootste ondersteuners is sy fami-lie, swemafrigter, leerkragte en maats. Hy is baie dankbaar vir die geleenthede wat Oosskool hom bied om in sport te presteer en sien daarna uit om in die swem-bad en rugbyveld uit te blink wanneer hy sy hoërskoolloop-baan oor bietjie meer as ‘n jaar by Hoërskool Pietersburg begin.
