Another senseless murder

Boyfriend arrested in connection with Makatu’s death

By Elmon Tshikhudo

The Makatu family and the community of Shayandima outside Thohoyandou at large were plunged into deep mourning by the mysterious and shocking death of one of the township’s most popular hair salon owners, Mukhethwa Makatu (28).

Makatu, who stayed in Shayandima Zone 4, was found dead at a house in Thohoyandou Unit D on Sunday. Makatu was lying on her back in a pool of blood, with a gunshot wound above

the left eye. She was partially covered with a blue blanket.

The circumstances leading to her death are still sketchy at this point and subject to police investigations, although speculation is doing the rounds among residents in the community.

The deceased’s younger sister, Ms Rendani Makatu, posted some information on her Facebook page. She wrote that Makatu had told her she was going to visit her boyfriend but would not take long. “She told me she would call and that we would later meet in town. After realising that the time we agreed on

was long past, I decided to call her, but she did not take my calls. It was only around 17:00 that I received a call informing me of her passing. So far we are still in the dark about the whole incident. What I know is that she was not sick and was murdered,” she said.

Makatu’s boyfriend was taken in for questioning by the police. He told them that he had left her alone at the house when he had gone to work at around 12:00. When he arrived home later, he was met by the shocking scene and reported it to the police. After the preliminary

police investigations were conducted, the boyfriend was charged with Makatu’s murder.

Thohoyandou police spokesperson Sergeant Vuledzanu Dathi confirmed the arrest. “He is to appear before the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 28 September,” he said.

A memorial service will be held in Makatu’s honour at her home at Shayandima Zone 4, House 1103 (opposite Shayandima Park) this Saturday, 1 October, starting at 15:30. She will be buried the next day (Sunday, 2 October).

The Thohoyandou police are investigating a case of murder after the lifeless body of an unknown man was found at Ha-Makhuvha village on Sunday morning (25th).

The deceased man was

identified as Akani Risimati from Maniini. According to a police statement, Risimati travelled from Maniini with his friend, Mr Ndivhuwo Maswime, to Ha-Makhuvha last Thursday (22nd), where Maswime owns a tavern. Maswime allegedly left Risimati drinking beer

at the tavern with other patrons, while he (Maswime) was attending to other business matters. When he came back, Risimati was nowhere to be found. He later received a call about an unknown man lying dead in the street, so he quickly went there and identified the body

as that of his friend. Risimati was allegedly beaten to death by members of the community after he was supposedly caught stealing electricity cables. At the time of our going to press, police investigations were continuing, and no-one had been arrested yet.

Municipality ends three year secrecy battle and sends tender information

By Anton van Zyl

The Makhado Municipality finally gave in and made available information requested more than three years ago by the Limpopo Mir ror about the sale of a public park in Louis Trichardt. This marks the end of a long court battle to get the documents, which must have cost the authorities hundreds of thousands of rands.

The municipality’s decision to release the documents comes two weeks before a contemptof-court application would have been served in the High Court. The documents were filed after the municipality continued to defy a court order instructing it to provide information requested in terms of the Promotion of Access to Informa tion Act (PAIA).

The saga started at the end of 2019, when word got out about the way the Makhado Mu nicipality had disposed of a public park in Louis Trichardt. No public consultation process was followed before the council put the park up for sale by means of public auction. The park was split up into two erven and prospective buyers had to submit bids. The criteria seemed straight forward – the highest bid would be accepted, provided that it was not less than the market value of each of the erven.

Limpopo Mirror had to fight for weeks to find out who had bought the two sections of the park as the municipality was not very forthcoming with the information. What then transpired was that in both cases the bidders who had submit ted the highest bids had been disqualified. In the case of Erf 3456, which is closest to the N1, seven of the eight bidders were disqualified, and the erf was sold to a bidder who had offered R400 000 less than the highest bid.

The municipality refused to explain why the bidders were disqualified, merely stating that “they did not tick all the boxes”. The bidders, most of whom are experienced developers, were not told why they had been disqualified.

After trying unsuccessfully to obtain informa tion from the municipality, Zoutnet Publishers (owners of the Limpopo Mirror and Zoutpans berger newspapers) filed a PAIA request. This application was completely ignored by the municipality. After the deadline for response expired, an appeal was filed with the municipal

defiance of the legislation.

Zoutnet Publishers then approached the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court to force the munic ipality to adhere to the legislation and make the documents available. This was the first such case in South Africa as, until 2019, legislation did not allow a lower court to rule on such matters.

The Makhado Municipality initially ignored the application in the magistrate’s court and it was heading for the unopposed roll. The Covid restrictions in early 2020, however, meant that the case could not be heard and it was re-sched uled. When it was put back on the roll again, the municipality suddenly woke up and opted to defend the decision to withhold the information.

In September 2020, magistrate Vanessa Grundlingh ruled on the matter and effectively brushed aside the municipality’s defence. She ordered the municipality to adhere to the PAIA request and make the information available.

However, the municipality was still not willing to make the information available. An appeal was filed by its lawyers against the magistrate’s ruling in the Limpopo High Court, but the mu nicipality was clearly not in a rush to have its day in court. Almost two years passed before the ap peal was to be heard, with minimal efforts from Makhado Municipality’s legal team. In June 2022, the case came before judges Frans Kgomo and Thogomelani Tshidada, but the hearing turned out to be very short as the case was struck from the roll for non-compliance.

Judge Kgomo described the documentation prepared by the municipality’s legal team as a mess and chaotic. He and Judge Tshidada criti cised them for sloppiness and said that this was in contravention of the court rules. The responsi bility resides with the party who brings the mat ter to court (in this case, the municipality) to file, index and paginate the documents properly.

The two judges explained to the municipality’s legal team that the magistrate’s ruling was now enforceable, and they must file the appeal again and restart the process if they felt the ruling was not just. The municipality was also ordered to pay costs.

What happened next was a continuation of the municipality’s delaying tactics. No appeal was filed against the magistrate’s ruling and the municipality did not respond to several letters requesting the information. Having no other

Man accused of trying to kill former girlfriend gets chased by angry mob

By Victor Mukwevho

A man who had allegedly tried to kill his ex-girlfriend by burning down the house she shared with her new boyfriend only just escaped with his life when he was rescued from an angry crowd at Khubvi Ethiopia by the Thohoyandou police on Sun day afternoon (25th).

The suspect’s former girl friend, Ms Phathutshedzo Net shitungulu, said he had arrived at the house of her boyfriend, Khakhathi Ntsundeni, carrying a burning primus stove. “He walked into the house and carried my bed and all me and my kids’ clothes from the bedroom to the kitch en and started burning them, and the house caught fire. Neigh bours saw the fire and came to help. He tried to run away, but they managed to catch him next to the local bridge and started assaulting him. The rest, who did not join in the chase after him, were busy trying to douse the fire at the house and managed to save the

other two rooms.”

According to Netshitungulu, the suspect, whom she claims to be an illegal immigrant from Lesotho, had been threatening to kill her for some time. “He once beat me and my mother badly, to an extent that my mother suffered a dislocated shoulder. His employer bribed us with R600 and, as we are poor, we accepted the money and did not open a case.”

She said that, on Sunday morning, he had been looking

for a shop to buy an okapi (knife) to kill her, but he could not find one in the area. After the suspect was caught by the angry residents, a family elder, Mr Avhashoni Munzhedzi, fortunately jumped to the suspect’s rescue by cooling the crowd down until the police arrived and took him away.

The suspect, Karabo Mosehe, appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, 27 September. The case was postponed to 31 October 2022.

The park in question is situated opposite Soutpansberg Spar.

Two brazen thieves learn they are not so smart and get punished

By Elmon Tshikhudo

Two thieves who thought they were too clever to be caught when they stole goods from their former landlord got the shock of their lives when the owner of the bakkie they hired to transport the stolen goods reported them to the community.

The incident happened at Shayandima Zone 9 last Friday (23rd). Mr Musakanda Chi peperekwa, a bakkie owner and builder from Shayandima, said he was asleep at around 05:00 that morning when he heard a knock at his door. “I went outside and found two guys who asked me to help them move their belongings from a rented room in the township to the University of Venda. I asked them why we had to do it so early, and they said they wanted it done before work that morn ing. We agreed on the price and they promised to pay me once everything was moved,” he said.

Chipeperekwa said he became suspicious when the refrigerator he was to load onto the bakkie was retrieved from the bushes. “My instinct told me something was wrong. I locked one of the men inside my car, but the other one managed to escape. I rushed to the civic leaders and, upon questioning, the caught man confessed and

took us back to where they stole the goods. The other suspect was also traced and found at Itsani village. The police were summoned and took the sus pects away, who were by then bleeding after angry residents beat them up,” Chipeperekwa said.

The owner of the house, Ms Azwinndini Vhangalala, said the incident had angered her. “These are the same people we gave shelter to for so many years. They stayed with my mother, who treated them as her own kids. Last month, a plasma [TV] set and a big music centre were stolen here and we did not even think they were behind this, until they

confessed that they had stolen them too. The value of the sto len goods is around R30 000. This makes me so angry. Is this the way people pay you back for the good you do for them?” she said.

The police confirmed the incident. Sergeant Vuledzani Dathi of the Thohoyandou police said they had received a call about the incident at around 06:45 and rushed to the scene where, on arrival, they found the two badly beaten men on the street. “The injured men were taken to the local hospital for medical attention. They will appear in court soon on charges of possession of suspected sto len property,” he said.

Don’t miss out on Makhadzi’s show

By Kaizer Nengovhela

The organiser of Makhadzi’s One Women Show, which is scheduled to take place at the Makhuvha Stadium this coming Saturday, has advised music lovers from across Lim popo not to make any other plans as this music festival promises to be bigger and better than before.

The event organiser, Mr Lucky Tshilimandila, said that the festival wanted to see fun lovers come together for a music-filled evening, where a wide range of musicians would be entertaining the fans. “It is about bringing people together

and inspiring fans and musi cians alike. People can be sure that the artists will give them the best of their performances,” Tshilimandila promised.

Artists include Makhadzi herself, Sho Majozi, Khakhathi, Mizofyl, Rofhiwa Manyaga, King Monada, and many more. Mulalo from SABC’s Mu vhango, and Gvoice and DJ Shy from Phalaphala FM will be the masters of ceremony for the evening.

“Makhadzi first hosted her One Women Show in Bo tswana, and the response was overwhelming. We hope it will be even more so here in Venda,” said Tshilimandila.

To show her love of her com munities, Makhadzi will give local women working as street vendors the opportunity to sell their products at the venue, free of charge. She also invites all Venda and Tsonga musicians to be at the show and celebrate together.

“It is not about making profit from this festival, but to market our province and show our talent,” Tshilimandila said.

Gates open at 10:00 on Saturday. No parking is allowed at the stadium and there will be a park-and-ride service from Thavhani Mall to the stadium.

Makhadzi is expected to per form for two hours from 12:00.

Haiti’s Pierre-Louis crowned Miss Global ‘22

By Kaizer Nengovhela

Haitian-born Abigail Anne Pierre-Louis (25) was crowned win ner of the Miss Global Heritage 2022 pageant after much anticipation last Saturday night (24th). The dazzling event was held in Vhembe, at the Kalahari Waterfront Nandoni.

Eva Mzondiwa (23) from Zimbabwe took the title of 1st Princess, while South Africa’s own Zabelo Hlabisa was selected as 2nd Princess. Zabe lo also won the People’s Choice title.

For Pierre-Louis, her passions lie in travelling and helping to uplift others. This, she said, had led her to see life from a perspective of gratitude, giving back to those who had moulded her to be where she was today. “This is an opportunity for me to use my voice and make an impact. That is the best thing I can do, especially in this day and age, because we are becoming more enlightened.”

She said her aim during her reign would be to push the Fourth Indus trial Revolution mandate in order for all cultures to unite. “Most peo ple do not know about our different cultures and it is because there is little to no content about our di verse cultures and heritage online. I want everyone to occupy that space to educate the next person. That way, we will be able to appreciate each other’s cultures instead of revolting against it. Inclusivity is power,” said Pierre-Louis.

The 1st Princess, Eva Mzondiwa (23), is an agricultural engineering

student at the Chinhoyi University of Technology. Born in a family of hard working women, she has been moulded and raised to take up space and work hard. She believes in Ghandi’s saying that one should be the change they want to see in the world, and so she pushes herself to motivate young people to be more involved, cherish being in an intercultural community and maintain their individuality.

Zabelo Hlabisa (28), the 2nd Prin cess, is a versatile and passionate young woman. Her daring attitude has seen her participating in numerous activities, including but not limited to academic excellence. Overcoming many challeng es, Hlabisa was determined to make a success of her life. “From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, South Africa, for voting. Without you, I am nothing,” said Hlabisa.

“Criminals reign in Mashau Bodwe”

By Thembi Siaga

The crime-ravaged community of Ha-Mashau Bodwe is sending out a cry for help after sev eral residents were robbed of money, food and clothes by unknown suspects recently. These incidents have prompted a large number of the community structures, including the community civic and police forums, to hold community meetings with the Levubu SAPS in an attempt to normalise the situation.

Residents at the village’s new stands are left with no option but to group themselves, leaving their homes to go and sleep at relatives’ houses, since they no longer feel safe because of the rising crime.

During a recent meeting held at the Mashau Pull Together Grounds, residents complained that more than eight homes had been burgled recently. The residents said that crime in their village had gone out of control and that the local police was not doing enough to combat it.

According to one of the crime victims, who wished to remain anonymous, the suspects entered his home by force and smashed his windows and doors with a spade. He said that the suspects demanded money as they knew him as the treasurer of the local ZCC church branch’s funeral policy (Kganya).

“About four gunmen came at around 01:20 in the morning. First, they wanted to rob my older brother, but they were looking for me because it seemed like they wanted money from me.

Fortunately, I did not have any money, so they left,” he said.

According to community activist Mr Giv en Ramanugu, the community members are being terrorised with no solution from the local police in place. “The Levubu police are not well equipped to deal with this type of crime. They are treating these cases as housebreakings, while our community keeps suffering at the hands of these criminals. The police are not helping us fight the scourge of crime in our area,” he said.

According to Vhakoma Vho-Joseph Sinogo, criminals appear to be fed information by some unknown residents. “We are suspecting that someone from this community might be feeding them with information. After robbing residents, they run into the mountains and bushes to hide themselves, then come back at night and contin ue with their robbing,” he said.

Sergeant Vhonani Masia of the Levubu Police Station denied the allegations that the police were not doing enough to combat crime. “We are patrolling the area at night and community members are advised to blow the whistle to alert each other too when there’s crime happening,” he said.

Campbell residents promised that water problems will be addressed

By Bernard Chiguvare

The Vhembe District Munic ipality (VDM) has assured residents of the Campbell Township in Musina that their water concerns will soon be something of the past. The VDM says that wa ter will be pumped through a booster pump from a res ervoir at Bergview. A service provider was appointed on 5 September this year to ensure that Campbell resi dents receive water from the Dikkop reservoir.

This plan of action comes after Campbell residents insisted on knowing why three reservoirs, situated only a couple of metres away from the Campbell Township, were not used to supply water to the residents, who are affected by constant water shortages.

Two of the reservoirs were

built long ago by the Messi na Transvaal Development Corporation Mine. When the mine closed down in 1992, they were handed over to the Musina Local Municipality, along with the houses it had built in the community. The municipality built the third reservoir in 2006.

“It seems the VDM is trying to save money for other pur poses, leaving the commu nity with inconsistent water supply,” said Sewani Kaunda, a community leader in Camp bell. He said that the residents had tried to find out from the VDM on several occasions why they had stopped using these reservoirs but never re ceived a satisfactory response, until now.

The VDM’s spokesperson, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, told this newspaper that when Musina Local Municipality had taken over the reservoirs

from the mines, they had already been in a derelict state. He said they were made of “thin steel material” and had corroded to a point where they could no longer be used safely for drinking water.

According to Ralushai, the third reservoir, made of con crete, was built by the Musina Local Municipality to serve the then still-small Campbell population back in 2002. But the community had grown to such an extent since then that the reservoir could not meet the water demand for the cur rent Campbell population.

“The water from Dikkop reservoir will be enough to supply the Campbell Town ship without any stoppages. It will only be affected if there is a common problem in other areas, either from the source or pump stations,” said Ralushai.

Three water reservoirs are situated only a few metres from the Campbell Township, yet res idents are constantly without water. According to the VDM, the two smaller reservoirs are unsuitable for storing drinking water safely, while the third one (the biggest) is apparently too small to supply the whole Campbell population with water.

“I will not tolerate drug peddlers at Mafukani,” warns traditional leader

By Victor Mukwevho

The traditional leader of Mafukani village, Vhamu sanda Vho-Nthuseni Nema fukani, said no matter what happened in this country, one thing he would never tolerate in his fatherland was drug peddling.

Addressing at least 5 000 residents from Mafukani and the surrounding villages during a drug-and-alcohol-abuse campaign, which formed part

of their Heritage Day celebra tion, he said drug peddlers must know that their days in the village were numbered.

“Working closely with law enforcement agencies, churches and community structures, we will drive drug peddlers away.”

He warned those who are guilty to pack up and leave the village immediately.

This follows a recent incident where students from Matavhe la Secondary School closed roads off in protest after the

traditional leader stopped drug dealers from selling ganja to students.

The event was organised by Mafukani Primary School, in conjunction with the Depart ment of Education and the Mafukani Traditional Council, and held at Nemafukani’s palace on Friday, 23 September.

Pupils from Mafukani Primary School were clad in traditional mashedo.

“I am very happy to see such young children learning all about our traditions and cul ture. Thanks to the principal of the school and her staff mem bers for keeping our culture alive,” Nemafukani said.

The principal of Mafukani Primary School, Ms Thi nawanga Nemalale, thanked Nemafukani in turn for being a visionary for a better tomorrow through his love of his subjects.

“He is always available to help us as a school, and we are bless ed to have him in our midst.

With him on our side, our pri mary job to educate these kids becomes easy and enjoyable,” she said.

Crime reporter

An aspiring female farmer, who dreams of becoming a successful commercial farmer one day, has had a major setback because of ruthless criminals who take advantage of load shedding.

Tshiwela Lillian Chauke (28) of Nancefield in Musina said she was surprised when she went to her small-scale poultry farming plot last Thursday morning (22nd), only to find that her 2 000-litre water tank was gone. This, she said, was a serious blow to her small business as she used it to store water for her chickens.

She said that she usually did not have a problem with lights at her plot during the night, thanks to the Apollo lights in the Nancefield Township. “I have someone who stays at the plot, but he did not hear anything the night my water tank disappeared. The water tank was there when I left my plot on Wednesday evening and I never expected anything bad to happen. That night, there was load shedding from 23:00 to 01:30 and I believe that

the criminals took advantage of the darkness. I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I arrived in the morning, only to find that my precious tank was stolen. I still do not understand how they carried the tank away, because it was filled with water and there is no sign that they had emptied it in the yard.”

With the assistance of other community members, she walked around the nearby bushes in the hope of finding leads. Some distance away, next to a thorny shrub, they picked up the lid of the water tank, but of the tank itself no trace could be found.

Tshiwela now wants the public to help her find her missing water tank as this is a valuable asset to her farming enter prise. “I humbly request anyone who might have seen my tank to help me locate it because my farm ing activities are

almost halted.”

The chairperson of Musina Crime Prevention, Mr Mashu du Kenny Leseba, said he was worried about the escalating crime around Musina. “We are working with various commu nity stakeholders, including the police, to make Musina a crime-free zone. We can only achieve this if all community members join us in this ven ture. We are also continuously in touch with Tshiwela, and we will not rest until she gets her water tank back.”

Wall of remembrance unveiled for the late Prof Lesiba Matsaung

Remembrance Wall

A wall of remembrance was unveiled in honour of philanthropist and traditional leader Professor Lesiba Ezekiel Matsaung (Kgosi Matsuokwane III) on Saturday in Musina. Apart from being an academic, Prof Matsaung was also a reverend of the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA).

The wall of remembrance is the brainchild of the Musina URCSA where Matsaung spent 45 years ministering the word of God. A freedom fighter in his own right, Matsaung had many brushes with the former Apartheid government. Besides being ordained as reverend in 1977, Prof Matsaung served as senior lecturer and head of education management and sciences at the University of Limpopo. He also established shelters for vulnerable and unaccompanied children in Musina.

Matsaung passed away at the age of 73 in January 2020, after a short illness.

The chairperson of the Musina URCSA Church Council,

Mr Jacob Matakanye, said no other way of honouring Prof Matsaung could be found than erecting such a wall of remembrance. “He was a preacher and freedom fighter who touched many lives here in Musina. He deserved the highest honour and we decided to do something that will be there for the next generations to come. We decided to erect this wall of remembrance inside the church premises, because this is where he dedicated his life for the freedom of all South Africans,” said Matakanye.

The moderator of the Northern Synod of the URCSA, Reverend Dr Raletsatsi Ezekiel Moraka, commended the Musina Church Council for erecting the wall of remembrance. He said Prof Matsaung deserved the eminence because he had served God whole-heartedly and with passion. “He left a wonderful legacy for the church and he was never shaken because he understood the constitution of our church. His critical role in fighting for justice in our country should always remind us of his strong belief in equality,” Moraka said.

Prof Matsaung’s daughter, Ms Mantebele Elsina Mabyane, said the family members were very pleased with this high honour bestowed on their late father. “We thank everyone involved in this historic initiative. This clearly demonstrates that our father touched many lives in his lifetime. It is great that the wall of remembrance has been erected inside the church yard, where its safety is guaranteed.”

Veteran journalist and former City Press editor Mr Mathatha Tsedu said Prof Matsaung had been his constant source for stories when he had still been a journalist.

He said that Matsaung had understood the power of media and how it could help to free the oppressed. “Musina was in the eye of the struggle storm, and we extensively covered stories on community protests. He was a journalist’s dream contact, and I was very fortunate that he was always available whenever I needed him. It is indeed a privilege to have known such a man of complete commitment to truth and justice, and for him to have trusted me by assisting me was an honour.”

New leader of Thetshelesani village urged to work hard for development

By Silas Nduvheni

Vhamusanda Matinyatshiulu II Tshinetise was installed as the traditional leader of Thetshelesani village, under the jurisdiction of the Mulenzhe Tribal Council, on Saturday, 24 September.

Vhavenda Khamusi Ramovha reminded the new traditional leader to respect and take care of his people, so that the development and smooth running of the village remains the order of the day. He said Tshinetise must work hard, attend the imbizos that are normally conducted at the Mulenzhe Tribal Council, and show respect for his elder senior traditional leader, Tho-

vhele Nkhaneni Ramovha, at all times if he does not want to be dethroned from his seat.

“We will not tolerate a traditional leader who, instead of developing his village, takes part in squabbles that lead to people fighting with each other. You have to be a good leader. You have to respect women, especially married women. You cannot take other men’s wives because you are the leader of the village,” said Ramovha to Tshinetise.

“We will be happy to see that you take part in developing your village by fighting for better and tarred roads, fighting crime, and drug and alcohol abuse among young people. We want you to work with the

police, local and district municipalities and councillors, so that Thetshelesani village becomes the centre of development,” he added.

Thovhele Nkhaneni Ramovha and other traditional leaders also graced the occasion.

Vhamusanda Tshinetise in turn pledged to work and develop his village and requested support from the communities.

“I’m ready to take advice from the elders, including from Thovhele Ramovha. I will seek wisdom from God, so that I don’t take sides in any way when ruling the people. We want to change life for the better for our rural communities, as they deserve development,” he said.

Heritage Day to remain an integral part of Vhavenda nation’s culture

“We want to restore our own rules, because we are proud of our culture,” Vhamusan da Vho-Vhathundimapfura Sinthumule said during a heritage celebration gala dinner, held at the Kone Vil lage Boutique on Tuesday, 20 September.

Sinthumule said that Her itage Day would remain an integral part of the Vhavenda nation and celebrated forever.

“The Vhavenda nation is not a lost nation. This is the reason why we allow ourselves the time to come and gather here. We want to urge parents to allow their children to attend Heritage Day celebrations, where they can learn more about their heritage. I am glad to see people dressed in different, colourful attire that represent their cultures. This only shows that, as a

community, we are proud of our heritage and culture,” said Sinthumule.

The Director of the Vhembe Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, Mr Collins “Thagalu” Thovhakale, said the heritage celebrations should include all the ethnic groups in the province, not just the Vhavenda. “This we should do in order to enhance social cohesion in the province where all cultural groups can meet and interact with each other.”

Thovhakale further said that one of the strategic ob jectives of his department was to protect, preserve, promote and develop sports, arts, culture and heritage, and also to advance the socio-economic inclusivity and contribution of the sector. “The recognition of South Africa’s indigenous knowledge is one of protect ing, promoting and preserving our heritage,” he said.

Vhembe’s acting Execu tive Mayor Cllr Shonisani Sinyosi said she was proud of their culture, and that it rested upon the young school learners of today to restore the culture and dignity of the Vhavenda people. “Our indigenous knowledge, which is our intangible cultural her itage, allows for identity and a sense of belonging for people, as well as an accumulation of intellectual capital for current and future generations in the context of mutual need to transfer skills from genera tion to generation in order for the young to learn from their elders. We also need to mainstream our indigenous knowledge system into our education curriculum, so that all our youths will be able to drink from the fountain of our elders, even if they don’t have grandparents to teach them our indigenous ways of doing things,” she said.

Stop the Spot hosts a Mr and Miss Univen Heritage 2022 pageant

By Maanda Bele

On Friday, 9 September, Univen students from dif ferent cultural backgrounds took part in the Mr and Miss Univen Heritage 2022 pag eant, which was held in the university’s auditorium. This annual competition, hosted by Univen’s youth organi sation Stop the Spot, forms part of the Heritage Month celebrations.

The purpose behind the com petition is to bring students from different tribes together, so that they can learn more about each other’s unique cul

tures and traditions. “The main objective of the event is to elim inate all the influences of trib alism among young people and to remind them of the beauty of our rainbow country. It is also to re-educate and re-emphasise the importance of heritage among the Univen community, to celebrate, understand and protect our heritage values, and to protect our rich heritage from perishing,” said founder of Stop the Spot, Miss Mercy Raphalalani.

Sinawo Dyakala was crowned Mr Univen Heritage, with Chauke Fumani as his first Prince and Ngobeni Musa as second Prince. Among the

ladies, Asingamaanda Muavha was crowned Miss Univen Heritage, flanked by Nini Makhubela as first Princess and Mualusi Ritshidze as second Princess. Nthabiseng Maponya was the Public Choice winner.

Muavha said that, when she had first heard about the competition, she had thought it was like any other pageant, until she learned what it was really about and decided to give it a try.

“Learning more about each other’s cultures is a positive thing because we are all Afri cans. It is important to know more about our origins in order to end tribalism,” she said.

Young graphic designer has big dreams for the future

By Maanda Bele

Passion, dedication, and many sleepless nights – these are the things that made Vhuthuhawe Nyathela the skilled self-taught graphic designer that he is today.

Known to his followers as Phyllcod, the 20-year-old boy from Thohoyandou M East is known all around Vhembe, but not only for his graphic-designing expertise. He is also an accomplished photographer. “I started doing graphic design in 2020 and have been passionate about it ever since. Because I never went to school to study graphic design, it took me a lot of hard work to be where I am today, and it makes me very happy that people love the

work I do,” he said.

When everyone was busy complaining about the Coronavirus and the negative effects of the lockdown, Phyllcod got busy, empowering himself by learning everything he could about graphic design.

“I am not someone who likes to sit around and do nothing. I like to keep myself busy. I had to watch a few tutorials on YouTube on graphic designing before I started to get the hang of it, and from there on it was practise, practise, practise –sometimes through the night - until I got it right,” he said.

This ambitious young man did not take long to find himself working with local business owners after that. “I got help from one of my family

members, Gundo Netshia, who gave me a really good network of clients. Now I’m well established. I enjoy what I do and I’m very grateful for the support I’ve been getting from local clients. I want to see myself go far beyond my dreams with my designs. I want to work with big companies, celebrities, and people from all over the country. In the next two years, I see myself creating and producing animations to entertain people,” he said enthusiastically.

People who might be interested in working with him can find him on his Facebook page (“Phylcod” or “Codeign Media And Projects”), Instagram (codsigns_mediaandprojects), or WhatsApp at 069 301 2133.

Nsovo’s book is about redefining oneself

By Tembi Siaga

Nsovo Manganyi from Elim village produced her first motivational book, titled Redefining Myself: The Beginning of My Spiritual Growth The book was published last month with the intention of motivating, guiding and comforting others who struggle to find their true identity and to help them discover their own ideals in life.

Nsovo is a motivational speaker, professional teacher, and the founder and chairperson of the Woman to Woman (or Mirror to Mirror Woman)

Empowerment Campaign, which was launched in December 2018, after she noticed how much enjoyment some women got from seeing other

woman’s embarrassment, misery, and failure. “I realised that women were not celebrating or supporting each other in the community. I want to encourage them to unite in order to become each other’s mirrors and help one another attain their own potential,” she said.

The organisation’s goals further include promoting anti-drug-abuse campaigns and anti-gender violence campaigns by engaging both men and women, as well as inspiring children worldwide.

Nsovo took nearly six years to write this book, which was finally released on her 30th birthday in August (Women’s Month). “What firstly drove me to write this book was the different kind of challenges that I faced while growing

up, especially when I was in my teens. For instance, I was rejected, disappointed and I experienced lots of delays, especially when it came to relationships,” she explained.

She said she had really begun to understand her own journey when she had started reading the Bible, praying, and fasting.

“I then started redefining myself and became more positive and kinder to myself.”

Nsovo hopes to convince women that achieving one’s long-term goals is possible. “It just takes dedication, persistence, and discipline,” she said.

For book orders, contact Nsovo directly on 076 891 0305, or WhatsApp or call 083 491 8921/ 073 764 2838.

Tshilisano’s art leaves people speechless

By Tembi Siaga

Tshilisano Masindi, an artist from Makwarani in Thohoyandou, is yet another example of the Vhembe region’s extraordinary riches as far as talented artists are concerned.

Tshilisano (20), better known by the brand name for his art, Muchilos, has been drawing since he can remember. His amazing pencil and charcoal sketches and vibrant canvas paintings (which he only recently started to experiment with), leave people speechless with

admiration.

He said that, as a young boy, he used to spend all his free time bent over drawings. “When I was in my primary schooling, I realised that I had a gift for drawing. Whenever we had a free period, I would be drawing,” he said.

Tshilisano does not have to stand back for his peers as his love of creative art, and the determination that went with it over the years, has brought him on equal footing with other artists. “It feels fantastic to be an artist. I enjoy inspiring others to believe in young people and give

them a chance through my work,” he said.

His own artwork was influenced by the work of artists such as Thabelo Phungo from Khubvi and Bonolanga Siaga Luheni Mapuloni.

However, Halatedzi Munzhelele from Tshilungwi, he said, motivated him the most to focus on improving.

Tshilisano matriculated at Vhutavhatsindi Secondary School in 2020 and is presently a second-year student at Mavhoi TVET College, studying for his diploma in civil engineering.

In June this year, he won first

place in an arts and culture competition. “I represented Mavhoi College and ended up winning the competition. I was overjoyed and felt very proud of myself,” he said.

He aspires to have his artwork displayed in international art galleries one day. “I’d like to show off my work internationally. I want every piece of art I create to be well known and be classified among the finest of all time,” he said.

Tshilisano’s art catalogue is available on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter (Muchilos Rsa), or WhatsApp or call him on 064 081 9897.

Phalaphala FM visits Musina to talk to its people

Phalaphala FM broadcast their Musina Takeover Campaign from 23 September to 25 September as a way for the station to reconnect with its listeners and create relationships with businesses within the Musina Local Municipality.

As part of the campaign, different programmes, namely the Dzia Orowa, Denzhe, Teen Zone, Devhula ha Vhembe (DV), Mutsindo wa Reggae, Gondovhugala, Dikita and Vhugalatenga were broadcast live from Mustown Shisanyama & Carwash, Malale Stadium, Musina Mall, and the New Nancefield Community Hall respectively.

During an interview, Mpho Mudau, one of Phalaphala FM’s listeners, was asked what he loved about Musina. He replied: “I love my job, the people I live with here and the town itself. The only thing I don’t like here is the crime, but I know the police are dealing with this and I believe in them,” he said.

When speaking to Shandu Lukhwareni and Tico Liphadzi on the Dzia Orowa show on 23 September, the radio station’s manager, Ms Sharon Ravele, said: “Phalaphala FM came to Musina to commemorate Heritage Month and to build stronger relationships with our listeners from the different areas around Musina.

Blind farmer sees a future, but there are still many obstacles to overcome

Entrepreneurship

Humbulani Munyai from Nancefield in Musina strong ly believes that the time has come for disabled people to stop depending solely on social grants from the govern ment for survival. Munyai, who has been blind since childhood, wears different hats as a farmer and enter tainer. Despite his disability, he works hard to realise the goals he had set in his life.

Munyai says people should treat disabled like normal peo ple. “I don’t need people’s sym pathy. Look at me. I am blind, but my mind is not blind. I am able to think constructively and make decisions on my own. My mind is razor-sharp, and I can reason better than those who claim to be perfect.”

Munyai has two successful Tshivenda albums to his name. He says that he saved the mon ey he had made from his CD sales to start his own farming

business. “I used the money to buy four goats and two sheep, which I hope to grow into a big herd in the near future. I have a small plot in Campbell, which I plan to extend into a bigger farm when resources allow it. I am also contributing to the local economy, as I have employed a worker who stays at the plot and looks after my goats and sheep for me.”

He adds that, although he visualises a bright future for himself in the farming sector, he still has challenges that are slowing down his success. “I have already proven to myself that I am ready to work, but I will need some help to fully realise my dreams. The small plot on which I am operating does not have [a] water supply. I have to hire transport to ferry water containers for my goats and sheep and this costs me dearly, because it is a weekly ex ercise. I would be very grateful if I can find someone who can drill a borehole for me. I will pay them back if I have to, even if it has to be in small amounts.

I also need a proper fence, so that my sheep and goats can be safe at all times.”

Munyai encourages other disabled people to come up with self-development initia tives to improve their lives.

“Life is too short and each one of us must make sure to leave a legacy behind in this world.”

Practise makes perfect and now the customers love Khuliso’s cakes

By Maanda Bele

Vanilla cakes, chocolate cakes, red velvet cakes and carrot cakes. These are only some of the mouth-watering cakes that you can expect to

find when you visit Khuli’s Cakes & Biscuits, a mini bakery situated in Dzimauli Luheni Mapuloni village.

The owner of this convenient little bakery is an ambitious, self-driven young woman, 26-year-old Khuliso Lor raine Siaga.

Siaga first realised her love of baking while she was in high school, back in 2011. Unfortu nately, and for many reasons, she could not go to college to study this field. “I used to get envious whenever I saw someone bake scones and biscuits for their own consump tion. At that time, there was no one to bake for us, and I wanted to be

the one to bake for my family so badly.”

She said the situation moti vated her to learn how to bake. “I decided to try baking scones. They came out nicely, but not perfectly, and I had to practise until I made them the way I wanted them to be.”

She said that was a lesson to her never to undermine herself.

“When I went shopping, I used to stand in the bakery section for a long time, wondering who had baked those cakes. I found the time to learn more about baking cakes during the lockdown, watching YouTube videos and experimenting with different recipes, and today I have mastered the skill of baking beautiful and delicious cakes,” she said laughing.

To buy backing equipment, she saved her stipend from the internship she was doing at the time. Now she bakes cakes for all occasions, from birthdays to weddings and any other cele bration that requires cakes.

“Hawkers play an important role in the economy,” says Joyce Machete

Entrepreneurship

Joyce Machete from Nance field in Musina is very proud of her small business. She says that, although informal hawkers play a major role in the economic development of any com munity, many people still look down on them, and that this is the reason why many are still hesitant to give this trade a try.

She wants to encourage unemployed people to stand up and create jobs for them selves. “People should not feel ashamed to start their own informal businesses. We cannot all be professional whatevers. Any small amount of money that you generate on a daily basis can go a long way in fighting hunger, poverty and unemployment, and we can all come up with honest ways of making a living. Take me for example. I sell tomatoes, fruits and vegetables here on the streets of Musina. Because of this business I offer, the local people do not have to travel into town. These professional people do not have time to plant fruit and vegetables. It is us, the hawkers, who make sure that they get food. We all play an important role in life; we all need each other,” she says.

Machete, who does seasonal work at one of the factories in Musina, says that staying home all the time with nothing to do makes no sense to her. “I do seasonal work from around January to May. In the past, I had to wait a

whole year before I could go back to work, but then I realised that I was wasting time. So, I decided to try my luck in starting a small business, and it is much better than doing nothing at all.”

She says she is very happy with the support she gets from her loyal customers. “The most important thing is to make your customers happy at all times. Customers want a friendly person who treats them with love and re spect. Always remember that these customers are people too and sometimes they run short of cash in these tough economic times. I am grateful because all my loyal customers pay me within reasonable time for products they might take on credit. This allows me to buy more stock, while at the same time I get to save the small profit I make every day. I hope that this will encourage other people to stand up proudly too and find a way to make life a little better for themselves.”

to unite Africa” - Nenguda

By Elmon Tshikhudo

Vhembe District’s executive mayor, Cllr Dowelani Nen guda, has urged the United African Apostolic Church (UAAC)’s IJ Mureri sect to continue to be leaders who forge unity on the African continent.

Nenguda was speaking during the church’s annual general conference held at the church’s headquarters in Ham

avhunga, in the Nzhelele area, on Sunday, 18 September.

Thousands of faithful mem bers from around the country, Zimbabwe and Botswana converged at the headquarters for the first time again since the passing of the church’s leader, Archbishop Muthuhadini Elias Mureri, three years ago. Since then, the church has been embroiled in leadership squab bles between businessman Mr David Mureri and the late Archbishop’s son, Archbishop Itani Mureri, who both claimed to be the leader of the church.

On Sunday, the sound of drums reverberated through the village of Mavhunga, the village painted in the blue and white colours of the church.

Speaking during the occasion, Nenguda called on the church to live up to its name by uniting Africans all over the country.

“As government, we pride ourselves on always supporting the church that is

embedded in the roots of the majority of the African people. We are all one and the rivers between us are not meant to divide us but to provide us with food and agriculture. I urge you all to continue to respect and love each other. As for the church, we know that criticism will always be there. As govern ment, we go through that too. Stones will always be thrown at you, so please catch them and use them to build a strong wall. When we come here again next year, Swahili should be the language used, as all Africans will be here,” he said.

UAAC Archbishop Itani, or IJ Mureri as he is popularly known, expressed his outrage on the issue of gender-based violence and child kidnappings taking place in Vhembe. He also called on the govern ment to resolve the electricity problem that is putting the lives of South Africans into misery speedily. “Prices of food have reached astronomical propor tions. Our government should look into this. We further urge the international community and world leaders to resolve the Russian war on Ukraine. To the youth, we encourage you to take your education seriously to become successful in today’s world of technology,” he said.

Mighty Super Power crush Bashasha

By Frank Mavhungu

Mighty Super Power FC are still in with a chance in the Mpho Mathoho Electrical KO Competition, following their victory over Ba shasha Terror Masters. They beat Masters 2-0 in their quarter-final match that was played at the Guvhukuvhu Grounds on Sunday.

Terror Masters were out of touch from the on set. They then tried to neutralise the opponents through their rough skills. This strategy back fired as the referee quickly reprimanded three of their key players with cards within a short space of time. Their first player to go into the referee’s book was Lavhelesani Netshisaulu. He was lucky

not to see red after he tackled Given Makonde from behind in the goal area.

As if they were leading, Terror Masters com mitted suicide by abandoning their positions and playing defensive football towards the end of the first half. They were severely punished for that.

Mighty Power took the lead in the 39th minute via Given Makonde, who hooked the ball in after a square pass from Rotondwa Malabi. Terror Masters were reduced to 10 men just before the teams adjourned for the half-time break. Lavhelesani Netshisaulu was given his marching orders for a continued argument with the referee.

Terror Masters did not throw in the towel, even though they were one man down. They approached the last half with more confidence. They strengthened their midfield by introducing Maipfi Tshitangoni and Thabelo Ntsieni, who re placed Stanley Mabeka and Awelani Tshiwalule respectively. They realised that Sunday was not their day when Edmond Tshirame missed a sitter in the 69th minute.

Mighty Super Power increased the lead in the 74th minute. The team’s captain, Rotondwa Runde, went loose from the right corner and unleashed a half volley from the edge of the box. The ball hit the upright and landed across the goal line.

Realising that victory was almost certain, Super Power played defensive football for the remaining part of the game.

Morning Stars and Two for Joy Ladies share the glory

By Frank Mavhungu

Lacoste Morning Stars had only themselves to blame for their failure to collect the maximum points in their Sasol Women’s League match against Two for Joy Ladies that was played at the Shayandima School Grounds on Sunday. The final score was 1-1.

The game started 20 minutes later than the scheduled 15:00 kick-off time. At that time, the teams’ captains and staff were still arguing over the registration of three players for Morning Stars. Two for Joy’s ar gument was that Olga Netshid zivhani, Adivhaho Mphigalale and Nkhentsani Koma were not properly registered with

Morning Stars. Morning Stars later succumbed and replaced the three players.

Morning Stars, who were playing in front of their home crowd, squandered two clear scoring chances within the first 15 minutes of the game. The team’s captain, Gumani “Mphe la” Mulibana, was the first player to cause an upset. She dribbled past two defenders and lost possession just before she could unleash from inside the penalty box.

Nompilo Nkuna could not believe her eyes after she went loose from the right corner and tried her luck with a half volley. The ball missed the target by inches.

The visitors from Tshirenzhe ni village threatened to score three minutes before the half-

time break. Their diminutive striker, Languta Maluleke, was blocked before she could un leash from the edge of the box.

The home side claimed the lead in the 59th minute when Nompilo Nkuna blasted in a rocket after a square pass from Gumani Mulibana.

Two for Joy replaced Thandi Malepe with Unathi Rikhotso towards the end of the game. Rikhotso made her presence felt when her first touch of the ball ended in a goal.

Sunday’s draw means that Two for Joy are the Stream B champions. They will meet the Stream A champions, Copper Belts FC, in their provincial playoff match on a date still to be announced to determine the provincial champions.

The Archbishop of the United African Apostolic Church (UAAC), David Mureri, urged churches, community structures and the local community to work together to restore peace and morals in society.

He was addressing thousands of congregates during the UAAC’s 110th conference, which was held at their Head Quarters at Ha- Miriri in HaMavhunga from 20 to 25 September.

The guests who attended the ceremony were former SANDF Col George Ramaremisa, Vhembe’s Executive Mayor Cllr Dowelani Nenguda, Makhado Mayor Cllr Samuel Munyai, honourable Priscilla Moyo, member of Parliament in Zimbabwe, Simon Ramovha from Contralesa, and Senior Bishop Isaah Khethani Sidogi from Zimbabwe.

Mureri urged all members of the church to extend a branch of love towards one another in order to build peaceful communities and also to attain peace of mind. He then told all Christians to remain strong in the face of malicious gossips and rumours, which he said were only meant to discourage believers from walking stead-

fastly in the way that God needed them to walk. “I need to see you continuing the good work that God has started in you,” Mureri said. “Never let other people lie to you about the greener pastures or fortunes that are supposedly found outside the church. Just continue to do what you want to do.”

He said that some people, who might have lost their way to God, acted according to their own desires, forgetting to do God’s will.

Mayor Nenguda said his municipality has a very good working relationship with churches and community structures. “Let us not just open the doors of our church buildings every Sunday morning, but let us open the doors of our hearts every day to those around us so that they may see the change in us brought about by the abundant love of Jesus Christ in our lives. With the help of the church, community structures and society, we can successfully restore peace, love and harmony in our society.”

He said the role of the church in community development cannot be over-emphasized. “This message is addressed to those who have a heart to bring hope and healing to the broken communities and believe that the church has an important role to play

in this endeavour. Over the past years, the church has played a vital role in community development, both in rural and urban areas. The church and various community structures can also play a major role to alleviate chronic poverty and bring development in the community.

Nenguda further said it was clear that people are living in a time of great peril with a demoralizing affect and the progressive destruction of families and communities. “The best thing is to make everyone an evangelist to their own families first. We can do this by preaching love and peace every day. We must not attempt to reach the world, while we lose our own families. Love and peace have to start at home. We are obliged to carrying out this command of love in the society in which we live. We have to ask ourselves again if the influence of the church is really positively affecting the society in which we live.”

Nenguda thanked the leadership of the UAAC for inviting them to the conference. “We have no doubt that we will be abundantly showered with blessings after this conference. We are very lucky to be among the church leadership’s honoured guests.”

Berea FC are the Nwali Soccer Challenge champions

By Frank Mavhungu

Berea FC were crowned the champions of the Nwali Soc cer Challenge Tournament at the Khubvi Benjie’s Grounds last Saturday. They beat Matangari High Aims 1-0 in the final to lift the trophy.

Berea were presented with R10 000, gold medals and a floating trophy during a ceremony that was held at the Benjie’s Entertainment Centre shortly after the final game. Matangari High Aims

received R7 000, silver medals and a small trophy during the ceremony.

Muodi Freedom Birds were supposed to have played against Madridtas FC in their losers’ final match to determine the team that would finish in the third position. The match was declared a walk-over for Freedom Birds after Madridtas failed to arrive. Freedom Birds took home R3 900.

According to one of the or ganisers of the tournament, Mr Norman Ramahada, Madridtas

had been banned to take part in the same tournament for life, following their unbecom ing conduct. Teams that were booted out of the tournament in the quarter-final round, Anel Real Vikings, Zwaloni FC, Khubvi Dangerous Darkies and Tshimuthe FC, were each given a consolation prize of R1 000.

The captain of High Aims, Rendani “Mkhize” Ntsieni, was nominated the best player of the tournament. He was presented with a trophy. The youngest player award was pre sented to the keeper of Berea FC, Honest Munzhelele.

Berea’s victory against High Aims was not an easy one. Berea took 86 minutes to score the winning goal. They were awarded a corner kick that was taken by Prince Tshisikhawe. The corner kick gave rise to a scramble within the box and Mulanga Tshi lukwa gave the ball the final touch.

Freedom Rebels scrape through to Mpho Mathoho semi

By Frank Mavhungu

Mbahe Freedom Rebels secured a place in the semi-final stage of the Mpho Mathoho Electri cal KO Competition. They beat Maungani FC 6-5 in their last16-round match at the Guvhuku vhu Grounds on Saturday and crushed Makonde FC 2-1 at the same venue the following day to secure a place in the semi-final round.

The result of their game against Maungani FC was determined through a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation

time.

Their Sunday game against Makonde FC was a see-saw battle. Although Makonde were looking hopeless at some stage, their Rasta farian midfielder, Mpho Ravhutsi, remained a live wire throughout the game. Ravhutsi was everywhere, dishing out some telling passes from the middle of the park while at the same time playing as a full striker.

When they realised that match ing Makonde pound for pound was difficult for them, Freedom Rebels decided to frustrate them by bal looning from behind. Their effort

Oscar Stars crowned as the new Mabena champions

By Kaizer Nengovhela

Makhitha Oscar Stars were crowned as the new champions of the Mabena Soccer Challenge on Sunday. They beat Madridtas 7-6 in a penalty shoot-out, after the match ended in a goalless draw.

akhitha Oscar Stars went home with R30 000, a floating trophy, gold medals and two soccer kits. The runners-up, Madridtas, collect ed R20 000, silver medals and two soccer kits. Prizes of R10 000 and R5 000 went to Masakona Young Tigers and Mashamba Soccer Acad emy, who ended in third and fourth position respectively.

The sponsor, Mr Robert Nesen gani of Singo Mining, said that he was impressed with the way the tournament had been run. He

praised the players, club officials and the fans for the good conduct they displayed throughout the tournament. He said he would continue to sponsor local soccer tournaments.

The organiser, Ms Mercy Ram bau, praised the sponsors for their decision to sponsor the tournament. “I’m very proud that we have grown young people of real quality,” she said. She stated that she was con vinced that the tournament would produce stars who would receive national recognition soon.

Thovhele Vho-Nndweleni Mashamba praised the committee who managed the tournament and encouraged community members to keep it up to produce talent among the youth. He said that for future stars to be identified at grassroots level was important.

paid dividends in the 25th minute.

They claimed the lead through Zwavhudi Nkhumeleni, whose ground cutter seemed too hot for the keeper for Makonde, Lufuno Mutobvu, to handle.

Makonde did not give in without a fight. They regrouped from behind, launching some promising attacks as they crossed the halfway line. They found the equaliser six

minutes before the end of the first half. Their overlapping defender, Takalani Mafurelo, was on target with a grass cutter after forcing his way through the defence of Rebels.

Both sides effected two changes in the last half. Edzani Makhuvha, who had replaced Takalani Maano in the 56th minute, scored the Reb els’ winning goal from a free kick towards the end of the game.

The 13-year-old disabled runner, Vhuthuhawe Nemutandani, completed his first full 5km Parkrun on Saturday in a remarkable time of 46:39. He was supported during his run by his teacher at the Emmanuel Christian School, Deborah Scheepers (left). From Saturday, 1 Octo ber, the Louis Trichardt Parkrun will start at 07:00 to avoid the summer heat. Photo supplied.

Financial boost for local football associations

By Frank Mavhungu

Last Friday was a memorable day for the four local football associations that fall under the jurisdiction of the SAFA Vhembe Regional League. They all received a financial boost from the Mpho Mathoho Electrical Company during a ceremony held at the Mu nakisi Hall in Muledane.

During the ceremony, the managing director of the company, Mr Mpho Mathoho, presented each football asso ciation with a cheque to the value of R100 000. This was the second time that the Thulamela LFA received a financial injection from the same

company, while the other three LFAs, Makhado, Musina and Collins Chabane, are enjoying the sponsorship for the first time.

When delivering the keynote address, Mr Mpho Mathoho appealed to the LFAs to administer the funds properly. He said that the sponsorship was likely to increase from R100 000 to R250 000 per LFA next year, depending on how well they managed their financial mat ters during the current soccer season.

When expressing appreciation for the sponsorship, a representative from the four LFAs, Mr Joseph Vukeya, assured the sponsors that their funds were in safe hands. He said that their mission

to offer a healthy alternative to keep youths busy could not be accomplished easily without the support from the business community.

During the ceremony, the executive mayor of the Vhembe District Munici pality, Cllr Dowelani Nenguda, said that his municipality and the four local mu nicipalities in the district were always willing to assist the football structures where possible.

The ceremony was graced by the presence of the provincial secretary of the ANC, Vhamusanda Vho-Reuben Madadzhe and the Minister of Commu nications and Digital Technology, Ms Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.

Can Maindis Ladies beat Richmond?

By Frank Mavhungu

After donating league points to the opponents in their last two matches, wheth er Maindis Ladies will be able to make amends and beat Richmond United this weekend remains to be seen.

Maindis and United will test each other’s strength in their Hollywoodbets Super League match at the Galeshewe Sta dium in Kimberly on Sunday afternoon.

Maindis were brutally walloped 0-6 by Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria last Wednesday (21) and lost 0-3 to the University of Johannesburg Ladies at the UJ Campus Stadium on Saturday.

The head coach of Ma indis, Mr Sipho Mabuza, is adamant that his team will make an impact in their game against Richmond United come Sunday. Asked what could have led to the embarrassing defeats in their last two matches, Mabuza said that the scores were not a true reflection of the games.

According to him, Main

dis managed to create numer ous scoring chances, which they failed to convert into goals. He said that they were working on the strikers’ target shooting during their training sessions this week.

Mabuza further said that all the players were injury-free and ready to absorb any amount of pressure from their opponents on Sunday.

Also on Sunday, First Touch Ladies will host University of the Western Cape Ladies at the Seshego Stadium in Polokwane. JVW FC will meet TUT Foot ball Club at the Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg. The pace setters, Mamelodi Sun downs Ladies, will entertain Thunderbirds Ladies at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria.

The other Sunday fixtures are Durban Ladies vs Vasco da Gama, Coal City Wizards vs City Lads and Golden Ladies vs University of Johannesburg Ladies.

Tshikwani Stone Breakers beat United in Good Life Challenge final

By Kaizer Nengovhela

Tshikhwani Stone Breakers were crowned as the champi ons of the Good Life Soccer Challenge after beating Gwasda United 5-4 in the fi nal on Sunday at Tshikhwani.

The winner had to be deter mined by a penalty shoot-out after the two teams had played to a goalless draw.

United had nobody but themselves to blame for the defeat. They squandered nu merous scoring opportunities. United had their first taste of

bad luck in the sixth minute, when Domenic Mafuleni shot into the hands of the oppo nents’ keeper from the penalty area.

United realised that finding the net would be difficult if they continued volleying from behind and then started to cool the ball down in the middle of the park. They hit the back of the net, but the referee ruled the player offside.

The second half started at a snail’s pace, with both teams struggling to penetrate each other’s defence. Breakers gained momentum as the game

progressed, but in the 66th minute, their lethal striker, Khetho “Kido” Tahula, missed a fortune. He shot wide with the keeper, Mashudu Munengiwa, well beaten.

United displayed enter taining football in the last 10 minutes, with Breakers running for cover. Breakers threatened to score in the final minutes, but their striker, Ndungelo Tshingwala, could not finish things off. He received a square pass from Livhuwani Masindi and caught United’s keeper off guard but shot wide.

Magagane is aiming for world title

By Kaizer Nengovhela

A local boxer, Jeff “911” Ma gagane, was by far too strong for his opponent, Asanda Gingqi, in the SA Feather weight title bout on Sunday at the Portuguese Hall in Gauteng. He won his fight on points, taking his tally of wins to 15, with only seven defeats.

Magagane approached the fight aggressively, throwing killer punches from all angles. He was all over Gingqi from the first round, pushing him into a corner on countless occasions. The referee had to count to eight when Gingqi was floored by a killer punch to the forehead in the fifth round.

Gingqi continued to disappoint his fans by his failure to retaliate when Magagane made him his punching bag in the last three rounds. The fight came to a halt for a few seconds to allow Gingqi to recover after he claimed that he had been hit below the belt. The judges confirmed what everyone had witnessed when they declared Magagane the winner on points.

Magagane said that

he knew that he was going to beat his opponent. He thanked his trainer, Mr Alan Toweel, for the hard work in helping him to prepare for the fight. “I work very hard in the gym, and my trainers are doing a tremen dous job to help me make my dream of becoming the world champion come true,” said Magagane.

Alan Toweel did not mince

his words when he praised his boxer. “This boy will go places. He is dedicated to his trade, and I see a lot of potential in him. He is one of the young boxers in my stable, and I see a bright future ahead for him.”

Toweel said he had no doubt that Magagane would become a world champion one day as he was talented and a hard worker.

“Spider” Munyai wants a rematch

By Kaizer Nengovhela

Well-known local boxer Tshifhiwa “Spider” Munyai said that he wanted a rematch after he was defeated by Lusanda Komanisi in a South African Lightweight Division clash, held two weeks ago at Emperor’s Palace.

Munyai, who lost the fight with a split de cision, complained that he had been cheated, “especially by the referee’s actions”, and now he wants a rematch as soon as possible.

The judges gave Komanisi a 114-113, 115-112, 117-110, and 115-112 victory. “The judges in a way stole that fight from me,” said Munyai, who would have kept his crown in a draw without the 12th-round deduction. “Everywhere I go, people say I got robbed. I really think I was judged unfairly. The judges could have declared it a draw. All I want is a fair fight; I think I deserve it. The WBA and the IBF should order a rematch.”

Munyai said that, if boxing BSA agreed to a rematch, sparks would fly. “I will live up to the expectations. I’ve got to set the record straight once and for all, because some people say I won the fight.”

Vhadau Vha Damani prepare for a tough battle against Magesi FC

By Frank Mavhungu

After a break of two weeks, the teams campaigning under the banner of the Motsepe Foundation Championship League will resume their activities this weekend. Six matches will be played on Saturday, while the remaining two will be seen on Sunday.

Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) are bracing themselves for a tough battle. They will visit the newly promoted Magesi FC at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Saturday. TTM and Magesi both collected the maximum points in their last fixtures. Magesi had risen to the occasion and beaten Casric Stars 2-1, despite the fact that they had an away fixture. This was the second win for Magesi in four league matches. Magesi are currently lying in the ninth position on the log with 6 points.

A quick glance at TTM’s track record shows that they are unlikely to be beaten by Magezi. Vhadau Vha Damani, as they are widely known, had managed to collect nine points in their last three matches. Apart from registering three victories in a row, TTM had managed to score eight goals in three games. Their last game was a Vhembe derby against Venda Football Academy (VFA), whom they had beaten 2-0 at the Thohoyandou Stadium two weeks ago. TTM are currently leading the pack with nine points.

Stopping TTM’s strikers, Thabiso Nkoana, Moeketsi Sekola and Xolani “Black Berry” Nkala, will not be an easy task for the defenders of Magesi. Thabiso Nkoana scored three goals in their last two matches. He scored a brace when TTM crushed Platinum City Rovers 4-1 at the Olën Park Stadium in Potchefstroom and scored again when Vhadau beat VFA 2-0 at the Thohoyandou Stadium a fortnight ago. Should he be given a chance on Saturday, Nkoana is expected to form a good combination with Moeketsi Sekola at the forefront.

VFA must now beat Baroka FC to stay a factor in Motsepe Championship

By Frank Mavhungu

Thohoyandou Stadium will be the best place to be on Saturday afternoon. The much-awaited Motsepe Foundation Championship League match between Venda Football Academy (VFA) and Baroka FC will be played there.

VFA must win the match at all costs for two reasons. Winning the match will help the team to restore their lost pride and to revive their league title hopes.

The Thohoyandou side started their league programme on a sad note. Thus far they could only manage to win one of the four matches they had played.

VFA were beaten 0-1 by Magesi FC in their opening league fixture and lost 0-1 and 0-2 to Polokwane City and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) respectively. Their only victory was against Platinum City Rovers, whom they had narrowly beaten 1-0 at the Thohoyandou Stadium.

The team’s caretaker coach, Mr Kabelo Sibiya, will be giving instructions to the players from the technical bench for the first time on Saturday. This follows the departure of the team’s head coach, Mr Michael Loftman, last week.

VFA’s captain, Ricardo Versuur, will watch the game from the grandstand. He is still under suspension after he

saw red in their game against Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane three weeks ago. The likes of Thabiso Mokenkoane, Tatenda Tavengwa and Lerato Mofokeng will be expected to do the job in the absence of Versuur.

Black Leopards will undertake a journey to Kwa Mhlanga in Mpumalanga. Their match against Casric Stars will be played at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium.

The other Motsepe Foundation Championship fixtures are Polokwane City vs Hungry Lions, Pretoria Callies vs MM Platinum FC, JDR Stars vs University of Pretoria and Cape Town All Stars vs Uthongathi FC.

Local female boxer Khodani Raider Muleba celebrated Heritage Day at Mukhase River in her home village of Tshidzini, in a Shedo. She says she enjoys spending this important day listening to the birds and other animal species on the banks of the river every year. “As an athlete, one needs time to relax and forget about training for a day or two. I also enjoy wearing my traditional attire while walking around my village,” she said. Asked if she is not shy to wear her shedo in public, she replied that she was so proud of her tradition and culture that she even wore it whenever she went for a weigh-in before a boxing match. “The boxing fraternity already knows that I am a proudly Venda girl.” Photo: supplied.
