Act 1 of Goddard-Doris soapie ends with

Doris in jail

By Isabel Venter Everyone but the infamous Doris Mthembi was allowed to leave the Louis Trichardt Regional Court on Monday – she was ordered to go straight to jail.

The 41-year-old Mthembi wept as she was being booked in as a prisoner on Monday afternoon, after being found guilty of making a false statement in an affidavit, which is a contravention of section 9 of the Justices of the Peace and Commissioners Oaths (Act 16 of 1963). She was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, of which four years were suspended on condition that she not be found guilty of the same offence.

This means that she effectively received a six-year direct prison sentence, bringing her court room shenanigans to a grinding halt.

The case against her relates to an incident in September 2010 when she tried to accuse her estranged husband, Goddard Tendani Mugwena, of kidnapping and raping her. When Mthembi tried to lay a charge, she told police that Mugwena had kidnapped her from Nkowa Nkowa at gunpoint and taken her to Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Here, in a guest house, he raped and assaulted her. “I screamed for help, but no one came to my rescue,” she had told the police and later the

collected her from Eltivillas and they then went to pick up the hired vehicle before booking into a local lodge for the night. They also put petrol in the vehicle, and Mugwena bought R100 airtime for Mthembi’s cell phone.

Mugwena said it was not unusual for him and Mthembi to still sleep together, even though she had married Ragwala in 2010. “She told me that she had always enjoyed sex with me, and that she didn’t enjoy sleeping with Ragwala since he had had a penis enlargement, which was scary,” said Mugwena.

court, during her trial. Further evidence given in court, however, not only disproved Mthembi’s account of events, but also revealed a life of sex, money and fast cars. “She [Mthembi] gave a new meaning to the phrase ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’,” was the observation of the state prosecutor during closing statements and arguments on Monday.

According to Mugwena, Mthembi pestered him about her BMW that he took back after Mthembi had left him for the TV-star Joseph Ragwala in 2009.

Mthembi finally backed off when Mugwena hired another vehicle for her. This was on 31 August, when the “rape” took place. Upon Mthembi’s request, Mugwena

“The court is not a stage” - magistrate From page 1 Mthembi tried to refute Mugwena’s version of events by providing photographs showing her injuries. She also told the court that she was not fluent in English, and that the police must have taken her statement down wrong. When cell phone evidence was introduced by the State, Mthembi claimed that the evidence was wrong and had been tampered with by conspirators within the police and prosecuting authority, trying to build a false case against her.

During his verdict, Magistrate Pat Cloete said that, based on the State’s evidence, Mthembi deserved no other sentence than guilty. Unlike the State’s evidence, which supported the case fully, Mthembi fought every point made and tried to deceive the court. “The lies kept piling up and up,” said Cloete.

“You did not make a favourable impression on the court.”

Cloete was referring to cell phone evidence showing that Mugwena was never in Nkowa Nkowa and could therefore not have kidnapped Mthembi as she had claimed. The cell phone evidence further showed a SIM

card swop that was done, after which Mthembi phoned Ragwala from Mugwena’s phone.

This happened some time while she and Mugwena were still at the lodge.

The doctor who had examined Mthembi after the alleged rape also testified that there was no indication of rape, only of sex and bruises on Mthembi’s face.

This doctor also testified that the photos Mthembi handed in at the court did not show the bruises that she noted on the day she examined Mthembi. Mugwena also testified that Mthembi’s hair styles differed on all save two of the photos. He did not deny slapping Mthembi.

Based on this, Cloete said that there was no other evidence that Mthembi had provided to prove her account of events on that day, except for the statement that she had made to the police when she tried to accuse Mugwena of kidnapping and raping her. “The state proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt, and all their evidence corroborated the testimonies of the witnesses,” said Cloete. The State argued for direct imprisonment of Mthembi.

If it were not for diligent police

work, an innocent Mugwena would have been sent to jail for 20 years. “In sentencing, the court will not protect Mugwena, the individual’s rights, but rather protect every South African from somebody who makes a false statement,” argued the State. “It is better for 10 guilty persons to walk free, than for one innocent person to be locked up in jail.”

When Cloete sentenced Mthembi, he not only warned her, but also the public. “You performed your testimony to the court. The court is not a stage.

By sentencing you, we also show the public that you do not play in court – we’re here for the truth and nothing but the truth,” Cloete said.

In addition to her jail sentence, Mthembi was also declared unfit to possess a firearm.

In the meantime, she and Ragwala are still facing several other charges, among other a charge of conspiracy to commit murder.

The husband-and-wife pair was arrested during 2009, together with Vincent Phakula (28) and Moses Ntlenana (24), two hit men Mthembi had allegedly hired to kill Mugwena.

Mr Joe Ragwala, Mthembi´s husband, consoled her after she was found guilty.

Municipalities help to bury fire victims The mayor of Thulamela Municipality, Cllr Grace Mahosi, and members of her staff visited the Mathebula family of Mbhalati village last Wednesday, to offer their condolences after the family lost three members in a house fire the previous week.

Mrs Mijhinjhi Batsani (51) and her gandchildren Thuli Cele (13) and Kwetsima Mathebula (7) died after the hut they were sleeping in had caught fire. A three-year-old boy, Hlayiseko Mathebula, survived the incident and is still in a critical condition in the Malamulele hospital.

Mahosi told the family that both the district and local municipalities would make sure that the three people who died are going to receive a decent burial. She also urged members of the community to assist the needy family. “We are going to assist them now with the funeral and after the funeral will make sure that those who left behind get better shelter to avoid such accidents,’’ said Mahosi.

Family spokesman Gezani Mathebula has welcomed the two municipalities’ initiative to assist the family. “We are grateful for the municipalities. It shows that they do care for the poor,” said

Mathebula.

Police spokesman Mapidani Chauke said the police had opened an inquest docket while the investigation was still continuing.

Baby Mulalo’s parents still aggrieved The parents of the 19-monthold baby, Mulalo Prince Mulaudzi, who died after nurses at Khakhu clinic allegedly refused to attend to him immediately, are still waiting for the Department of Health to finalise investigations into the case.

Mr Mashudu and Mrs Mumsy Mulaudzi contacted the department’s spokesperson, Ms Adele van der Linde, to inquire about the progress of their case.

“Ms Van der Linde referred us directly to the office in Polokwane, where we were told that

what had happened to our baby at the Khakhu clinic was totally wrong,” said Mashudu. “They promised to get back to us soon.”

The child’s guardian and grandmother, Vho-Reginah Mulaudzi, had rushed Mulalo to the Khakhu clinic after she noticed that he had a high fever and was vomiting on 5 October. She was allegedly turned away, because the three nurses on duty were helping a woman in labour. Baby Mulalo was only attended to the following morning but died two hours later.

Mulalo’s mother, Mumsy, said that the clinic’s attitude towards patients had caused her son’s death. “I want to believe that, if he were helped, my child would still have been alive,” she said.

Van der Linde confirmed on Monday that the department has launched an investigation into the case “to establish whether there was any negligence on the part of the clinic. We cannot tolerate bad service that can lead to fatalities.

However, we need to be thorough in investigating all possible contributing factors.”

Mr Mashudu and Mrs Mumsy Mulaudzi hold baby Mulalo´s framed photo during Limpopo Mirror´s recent visit to the family.

of Social Development in Vhembe didn’t provide the court with the requested report on the Zimbabwean convict, after they cited that they had received too short notice to assist the convicted murderer.

Last Tuesday, Judge Khami Makhafola directed the prosecution to arrange for Zumbuzana to consult with the probation officer, so that the official could submit a written report in mitigation of the convict’s sentence. The court had to request the social workers’ office to write a report after Zumbuzana couldn’t give arguments in mitigation.

When Zumbudzana appeared in court last Thursday, his case was

therefore postponed to today (Friday) to allow the social workers enough time to have a session with him.

It also emerged in court that the office of the social workers in Thohoyandou felt that it would only be appropriate if Zumbuzana was assisted by the probation officer at Tshilwavhusiku, since this is where he was initially arrested.

Zumbuzana has been convicted of hacking Mr Sonnyboy Nkosi with a spade on 17 March 2012 at Muduluni village, where two of them were stationed to drill a borehole.

Nkosi, a father of four, was a resident at Tshikhwani in Madombidzha village.

Huge damage after storm hits villages Several families around Vhembe were left homeless on Friday evening after a heavy storm damaged numerous houses in the area. Five people were reported injured.

According to Mr Matodzi Ralushai, spokesperson of the Vhembe District Municipality, more than 500 families in different areas of the Mutale, Thulamela and Makhado municipalities were affected by the storm. Makhado has the highest number of affected families.

Schools, shops, churches and other business buildings in the area were damaged, trees were uprooted and electricity poles were blown down. At Tshiozwi, more than 60 houses and three churches were damaged and at Madombidzha about 50 houses, a shop and a primary school.

The Vhembe District Municipality has started to deliver tents and food parcels to the affected people and, according to Ralushai, they intend to approach the provincial administration to

assist with the provision of tents.

Ms Portia Malotsha Sinugo of Madombidzha, whose sixroomed house was destroyed by the storm, said that she had no place to stay as the house that she trusted was severely damaged.

She added that the neighbours’ daughter, Annani Tshisimba (9), who was at her house when the incident took place, was injured when a brick hit her leg. She was treated at the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital and later discharged.

The Motsepe Foundation has allocated R6 million to the Vhembe district municipality to develop and uplift the communities in the district through setting up co-operatives.

On Thursday, 24 October, members of various religious denominations, young people, women in business, workers’ organisations, traditional councils, local business owners and teachers gathered at the town hall during the foundation’s road show.

These are the stakeholders who will benefit from the allocated funds.

The Motsepe Foundation was initiated by mining magnate Patrice Motsepe to help marginalised, poor and rural communities. During the road show, he announced that the funds should be spent before June next year.

Mr Motsepe commended churches and traditional authorities for being the custodians of culture. He said working with these stakeholders would help to combat the scourge of diseases, poverty or any other threats to society. People from various sectors in the district elected their committees which will Ms Jay Nkuna. help channel the funds and also monitor how the funds are being spent. “The funds must develop the impoverished communities and people,” he said.

Delegates from the public protector’s office in Limpopo were also present at the Motsepe Foundation road show.

Accompanied by two investigators, the Outreach Education and Communication officer in Limpopo, Ms Jay Nkuna, said that one of the public protector’s findings was that hospitals in the district were in a dire situation.

“The Tshilidzini hospital needs urgent attention and suffers from a shortage of water,” she said.

The municipality promised the public protector that they would use some of the Motsepe Foundation’s money to solve the water problems at Tshilidzini Hospital swiftly.

“The executive mayor promised that some of the money allocated to the district will be used to fund a borehole project at Tshilidzini,” she said.

She said after the observation during the Motsepe Mining magnate Patrice Motsepe, in conversation with the mayor of Foundation road show, they were going to follow Thulamela Local Municipality, Cllr Grace Mahosi, and the executive up on the proposed Tshilidzini Hospital project to find out if it was continuing. mayor of Vhembe district, Cllr Tshitereke Matibe.

Residents risk their lives in search of water The issue of service delivery in the Malamulele area has reached boiling point, with lots of damage caused in the quest for an own municipality.

Villagers who have been protesting, continue to suffer and are crying as they have acute water shortages in the area.

Villagers from Shigalo, Basani, Nyavani Mphakati have to risk their lives and mix with cows and donkeys in search of drinking and washing water in the tributaries of the Luvuvhu river.

Earlier this week, Limpopo Mirror witnessed an unusual scenario where hundreds of villagers swarmed the river, some doing washing and some drawing drinking water from the river. They have travelled many kilometres on foot from their own villages to the river.

Villagers say they do not have any choice but to venture into the dangerous

water as there is no water in the villages.

Gogo Tsakani Makhubele (72) of Basani village says that they are suffering as they have to walk for several kilometers to the river to do washing and collect water. “We drink the same water that’s being drunk by our animals,” says Makhubele.

Another villager from Shigalo says that there are people who can afford to hire cars to collect the river water for them and says that there is no much difference because the water is dirty.

“The river is too far, but if you can’t afford to pay for transport to get you water, you have to walk over five kilometers, pushing a wheelbarrow with drums of water,” said the villager. The sight of huge, deadly crocodiles floating on the water does not deter them. Resident Mpho Shiburi says that many crocodiles have been spotted in the river.

“We have no option but to come here every day, even if it means risking our lives. We just need water,” she says.

She says the water pump in her village should have been repaired long ago, but the municipality is turning a blind eye to their problem, which is making life very difficult for them.

“It has been almost three months without water in this area and it seems our municipality does not give a damn as they never update us about what is happening; this is sickening,” she adds. Vhembe municipality spokesperson Matodzi Ralushai says that a pump that supplies the villages with water needs to be replaced. He says they are doing all in their power to make water available in the villages.

This elderly woman says she travels more than five kilometres to the river to do her washing and to collect drinking water.

R6 million allocated for development in Vhembe

The quest for morality

Adultery is not only a physical act ... it is also spiritual “I have never committed adultery in my life!” the married young man exclaimed. “I have never cheated on my wife before and I do not plan to in the near future.”

“If I were then to get a divorce from my wife, it would be for anything other than for cheating and adultery.” Unfortunately, it is not as simple as the young man would like to put it. Many marriages are not broken because of the physical side of adultery but more because of the spiritual side of it.

Spiritual adultery can be defined as a relationship where a person deserts God for idols or any other thing that replaces God in one’s life. It is also used within the ‘fire-syndrome’ churches to refer to an act where somebody is said to have slept with a spiritual husband or wife other than one’s real spouse.

In this article, I define spiritual adultery within the context where Jesus addresses his audience in Matthew 5:27-30 about the ‘intent to sexually engage’ with any person other than your spouse as adultery.

The Pharisees thought that they had never committed adultery in their lives because they were never caught in the act of adultery proper. They then developed a kind of spiritual pride to look down upon those caught in adultery as the worst sinners. But in his interpretation of the law, Christ brought the element of ‘conceptualizing about sex in your mind’ or the ‘sexual intent’ on your part as reason enough to place you in the same basket as those who have literally acted on their thoughts.

Spiritual adultery is more than

appreciating beauty as you see it, but going further to start plotting or even spiritually engaging in the act of sex with a person that you would have seen. The male species is more prone to this act than women. Men are easy prey of spiritual adultery because they get attracted more often by merely looking. This has unfortunately resulted not only in spiritual adultery, but also physical adultery, where somebody ends up divorcing.

It is a pity that some even take it to the level of masturbating while having a picture of a woman he has seen earlier in order to satisfy his lust. The worst case that I have ever dealt with was when someone ended up being hooked to pornography. Viewing pornography can be defined as an act of spiritual adultery and is one area threatening to destroy many marriages.

We need to deal with spiritual adultery by not looking at other people lustfully; not aspiring to have them as ours and engaging in sexual encounters with them, and doing away with pornography. We need to engage in the campaign of improving our sex life by being innovative in our approach when it comes to sexual matters. Learn and apply new tricks in order to spice up your relationship and, in the process, save it.

Read sober-minded but innovative books about the matter and it will breathe a new lease on life in your marriage.- Prof Derrick Mashau, Department of Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology, University of South Africa; (mashatd@unisa.ac.za.)

“Cuban doctors will relieve shortages” Patients at Tshilidzini Hospital who had been waiting for a long time without help told the MEC for Health, Ms Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba, that they were happy that she had come because perhaps they would get some help.

Duba, who was in the company of the Cuban ambassador, Mr Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, had made a stopover at Tshilidzini as part of a tour to assess the province’s health care services.

The visit took place on Monday.

The MEC and the ambassador were shown the different wards, where they even spent some time with patients and newborn babies. Besides some of the challenges that were highlighted during the visit, the outpatients department painted a very dim picture about the operation of the hospital.

The MEC and the ambassador surprised both the staff and patients when they arrived at the section unannounced. Staff just

stood by when angry patients explained their hardships to the MEC. Some told the MEC that they had been there since early morning but had not been attended to. ”There is no service at this hospital. I have been here since early morning and what we see here are staff members who go out for lunch, never to return.

Some went out very early but have not returned. Some patients arrive late, but because they are known to staff members, they are helped and they have already left, while we have to wait,” said one angry patient. Others complained of being told that their files were missing and having to be sent home without treatment. Mr Thomson Ramukhithi of Phundulu in the Ngovhela area told the MEC of the long waiting periods without being attended to.

In her response to patients, the MEC confirmed that there was an acute shortage of doctors in the province and that was the reason

why they had invited the Cuban ambassador, so that he could see what challenges the province was facing. “We have heard and seen your challenges and we can assure you that we will deal with these matters, so that you get the best service at this hospital. To show that we are very serious about enhanced service, we will have many new doctors before the end of the year,” she said.

She told them that 10 students had already left for Cuba for training, while another 110 students would leave before the end MEC Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba adresses angry patients who had waited the whole day without being of the year. helped at Tshilidzini Hospital.

Ambassador De Cossio said the visit was to cement the relationship between the Cuban government and the Limpopo province. "We have taken note of what we have seen. We will continue working with the Limpopo government and, before the end of the year, 94 doctors from Cuba will start to work in South Africa.

Some of them will come and serve here in Limpopo," he said.

Churches unite to uplift communities The Mighty Arm Pastors Forum recognised several community builders during a ceremony held at the Full Gospel Church in Tshitungulwane a fortnight ago.

Nine of the local church congregations united to form a forum, titled The Mighty Arm Pastors Forum, which is meant to help and uplift communities in the area of Vuwani. The chairperson of the forum, Pastor

Livhuwani Manavhela, said the forum was established "to help and inspire people in the communities to unite and help those who are in need.” The forum decided to give awards to community members from Manavhela, Tshitungulwane, Tshilaphala, and Muziafera villages in recognition for the work they have done to uplift the communities.

During the event, which was sponsored by Sanlam, certificates

of recognition and five trophies were handed over.

Pastor Manavhela said awarding community members who had done things to improve their communities would influence others to embark on a similar journey. “Unity, humility, compassion and passion help us to realise how important our communities are, hence we decided to recognise those individuals,” he added.

Ridgeway College and Ridgeway Independent merge Ridgeway College and Ridgeway Independent School in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) have merged into one entity, but will continue functioning on their respective campuses. Both schools have built halls which are nearing completion.

“One bigger school is just more sustainable than two schools of our respective sizes. We worked hard to create a brand running from Grade RR to Grade 12, centering on an international curriculum,” says Ms Leigh Bristow, head of Ridgeway College and the executive head of the “new” merged school, together with her senior management team. Ridgeway Independent School, under leadership of

Ms Magriet Swanepoel, has 208 learners and Ridgeway College has 180.

The two schools had been talking about merging for years, but the school boards’ discussion restarted in April this year on a serious note. The merger finally happened in July.

“We have an aligned academic vision.

The junior school will start on Cambridge as from Grade 2. We will be able to rank our Grade 2 kids with Grade 2 kids all over the world who are on the Cambridge system. Cambridge is an international education system used in more than 160 countries and administered from the United Kingdom. In the senior school we do Cambridge international exams. We

never had a student who did not get into the university faculty of his or her choice.

The kids do extremely well at university,” says Bristow.

In Grade 9 and 10, the learners of Ridgeway College prepare to write the international IGCSE exams and Grade 11s and 12s prepare for the Cambridge International AS level, a six- to eight-term course, with exams being written in May and June or October and November of the Grade 12 year.

AS levels qualify students for entry into South African universities.

The college in Leeu Street commenced with the building of a multi-purpose hall on 18 June and expect it to be completed by 5 November. The college was founded in 1999 “to provide a quality, affordable, independent English-medium educational opportunity”.

The college moved to its present campus in 2002 and, ever since then, the infrastructure has been steadily developed to include laboratories, additional classrooms, a library and sporting facilities.

Ridgeway Indepen­ dent School on the Roodewal road envisage that their hall will be completed at the time of their annual prize-giving ceremonies, which are scheduled for 6 and 7 November.

“Donate an organ and save a life”

Makhado municipal traffic officials will look brighter this festive season with their new reflector jackets. This comes after the traffic department received brand new uniforms.

With them in the photo is the director of community services, Mr Johannes Kanwendo.

A woman who has been living with a donated kidney for the past decade is urging people to donate organs to save lives.

Ms Humbulani Bulala (47), of Maniini Block K, has been living with a donated kidney from an unknown donor since 16 May, 2002. Her donor came after the death of her elder sister, Vuledzani, who died when she was being operated on to confirm if her kidney could save Humbulani's life.

"I was first diagnosed with kidney failure in 1993. After everything was explained to my family, Vuledzani volunteered to donate her kidney to me. In 1995, she went though some screening process where it was confirmed that I could live with her kidney.

But the operation could not be done as the theatre rooms at George Mukhari were being renovated. Unfortunately, when she went back for the screening process again on 16 May 1996, she lost her life. Her death came four days before the whole process could be completed,” she added.

According to Humbulani, Vuledzani's death came as a big shock to the family. "Vuledzani, who owned a private school, was a member of the Limpopo legislature. I even blamed myself for her death. At some stage, I wished God would take my life and return my sister's as I was just a useless person who could not do anything because of my illness," says Humbulani.

Since the death of her sister, Humbulani continued following treatment until she received a kidney from an unknown donor.

Today Humbulani says she is happy that she is living a normal life like others. “I am an active person. I am helping to support my sister's children, now aged 22 and 25. I also have two boys, aged 29 and 24," says Humbulani, who is running her sister's school and also a PR councillor at Vhembe District Municipality.

Humbulani says her illness made her realized that there was a need for the community to be more informed about kidney disease. "Kidney disease is very

rare. Few understand it. Most of the time, when one is suffering from kidney disease, people start to associate it with witchcraft or STI-related diseases. This is bad because the disease ends up escalating as it will be wrongly treated or ignored," she added.

She also urges the public to donate organs and blood in order to help others. "I think it is important to donate, because through that donoation, you will be saving other people's lives.”

Ms Humbulani Bulala urges people to donate their organs.

Lutendo Madume (25) appeared in the Tshilwavhusiku Magistrate's Court last Tuesday in connection with a murder which happened on 9 January.

After several postponements while the police were still gathering information and investigating the case, Madume's trial date was finally set for 17 to 21 February 2014. He will be trialed in the regional court at Tshilwavhusiku. Madume stands accused of allegedly stabbing Tuwani

Fhetani (20) to death at his home at Tshikwarani village in the Kutama area, while police officers allegedly hesitated to act outside the room.

Madume caused baffled murmurs from the gallery on his first court appearance, when he entered the courtroom wearing a T-shirt with the words “The future is in your hands” written on it.

The victim was a Grade10 pupil at Tshiungulela Secondary School.

A housing project for the small Thalane community in Buysdorp has caused a lot of disappointment and some residents fear that they will never be able to have a house of their own.

The project was halted shortly after the foundations were dug in 2010. According to the community's secretary, Sipho Makhura, at least 30 people qualified for RDP houses, which were being provided to the community. “But soon after they had dug foundations, they stopped with the project without any proper, clear explanation,” said Makhura.

The Thalane community first raised a concern about the halted RDP houses with the Makhado Municipality on 29 May 2011, and the former municipal manager, Shadrack Tshikalange, answered them on 23 June 2011. Tshikalange indicated that there were minor obstacles which had to be cleared before the project could resume.

Makhado Municipality's spokesperson Louis Bobodi said that the “issue is known” to the municipality.

“We are just waiting for Coghsta to unblock the project and provide funds,” said Bobodi.

Selomo, said that the department could not proceed with the project due to a land dispute in the area. “Once the land issue is resolved, the department will proceed with the implementation of the project,” Selomo said.

One of the supposed beneficiaries, Katherine Tshuma (39), said that she and her two children had nowhere else to stay after her house collapsed during the rainy season early this year. “I pray for our government to help me,” she said. “If I had money or a job, I would have been building a house for me and my children.”

Lazarus Weston, chairperson of the Buys committee, confirmed that there was a land claim issue and that they were only waiting for a date when the matter would be heard in the North Gauteng High Court. “But I feel that I must make it clear,” he said. “We don't mind if they continue with the RDP project because that in itself is part of development in Buysdorp.”

He then said that the houses must be shared between the two sides, the Thalanes and the Buys community.

“We will have a community meeting at the end of the month, where we will resolve this issue and give the department the green light to continue with the project,” Weston said.

Unemployed teacher now a prosperous businessman Just like other students who became stranded after graduating as qualified teachers in 1994, Mr Takalani David Thaba of Tshakhuma village joined the thousands of job seekers as what used to be a noble profession was no longer in demand in the job market.

Thaba obtained his Secondary Teachers’ Diploma from the now defunct Venda College of Education. Realizing that life was becoming a worthless thing due to unemployment, Mr Thaba swallowed his pride and started to do odd jobs by assisting electricians.

That was the beginning of his road to The mayor of Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi (left), cuts the ribbon, while Mr Takalani Thaba and his wife, Tshifhiwa, look success. Within a short space of time, Mr Thaba could do all kinds of electrical work on.

without any supervision. That prompted him to undergo trade tests at the Department of Manpower and Training, where he succeeded at his first attempt. Equipped with a trade diploma at that stage, Thaba did not look back.

He attended numerous electrical courses in a bid to broaden his job-related skills.

It was in 2003 when Thaba told himself that he was mature enough to stand on his own. He registered his own company, TD New Look Electrical Construction, the very same year. A ceremony to celebrate 10 years of the existence of his company and the officially opening of the company’s new office building was recently held at Tshakhuma.

During the ceremony, the mayor of Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, said that the government was always prepared to assist people like Mr Thaba, whose companies were contributing a great deal in the fight against unemployment. A local traditional leader, Acting Chief Vho-Elvis Madzivhandila,

said that he was proud to have Thaba as one of his subjects. He described him as a torch bearer and selfless community builder.

A well-known spiritual leader, Pastor Michael Mandavha, of the Faith Assemblies International Church, told Thaba to stay away from any corrupt activity. “ No matter how attractive corruption may be, don’t be corrupt,” he said. When addressing the hundreds of people who braved the chilly weather to attend the ceremony, Thaba indicated that his company has adopted one of the local schools, Raluthaga High Primary, as part of giving a portion of his profit back to the community.

Apart from adopting the school, Mr Thaba indicated that his company has parted with more than R50 000 in the form of donations and sponsorships in the past years towards community development projects. He further indicated that a huge number people who learned electrical work from his company are now occupying higher positions in big companies such as Eskom, Metrorail and at municipalities.

The parents of a young khomba, Mavis Chauke (16), held a party for her after she had completed the Xitsonga rite of passage (vukhomba) on Saturday. Mavis resides at Chavani near Elim. Photographed with Mavis at Makhado during the celebration tour are (from left to right) Pfano Mabata, Tshifhiwa Ramalata, Vincent Chabalala and Khanyisa Makhuvele.

Crime

Girl (15) raped on farm at Musina A 15-year-old girl was abducted and raped in the bushes at Kaema-ema Weipe farm in Musina between 27 and 28 October.

According to the spokesperson for the Musina police, Lt Peter Mudau, the victim stayed with the 22-year-old suspect, who happened to be her older sister’s partner.

“He woke up on the morning of 27 October and started chasing the two sisters,” said Mudau.

“They ran into the bushes, but he charged after them.”

Mudau explained that the two siblings scattered into the wilderness. The man allegedly chose to follow the younger one and cornered her in the thicket of thorny bushes.

“He overpowered her and raped her several times, before returning home with her the following day,” Mudau said.

The suspect allegedly threatened to kill the victim if she told anyone about the rape, but she disclosed her ordeal to her older sister, who immediately reported the matter to the police. “He spent nearly two days with the minor in the bushes, raping her repeatedly,” said Mudau.

The suspect was arrested and appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court. His case was postponed to 20 November for further investigation.

He remains in custody.

Forty bouts took place in the senior categories during the Musangwe tournament held at Nzhelele Dzata the past weekend. Several non-title fights were seen before the start of the championship fights on Sunday.

In the senior category, Os-

crowned after he beat his opponent, Ruben Mudzanani.

The most entertaining fight was between Sithaba Ndou and Fhumulani Manavhela. Ndou was declared the winner after Fhumulani started to employ time-wasting tactics.

Thovhele Vho-Toni Mphephu Ramabulana stated that the royal council was committed to preserving the Venda culture and they felt bound to lend a helping hand to Musangwe as it forms part of the Venda culture. He praised the organizers for bringing back the forgotten cultural sport.

He said that the age-old sport of bare-fist fighting, popularly known as musangwe in Venda, had been used to gauge the bravery of young men and to prepare them for challenges ahead of them in life.

No material rewards were expected during the fights. With the change of times, this old tradition has shifted focus, with many of the participants expecting some form of compensation during the fights. This was started a few years ago, when people who saw a business opportunity in the fights sponsored the tournaments. Some hard-core traditionalists were very much against the idea, saying it was against tradition.

"Most of our fighters have the potential to make it in boxing and we are encouraging them to follow boxing and not end up only as unpaid fighters.

There is a lot of money in boxing. We are hopeful that we will soon produce a world champion from this area,” said the president of the Vhembe Traditional Entertainment Organisation, Takalani Nkhamane (left) and Swethani Ganyane battle it out.

Last weekend was an ugly one for Baroka FC. They gave away more league points to their opponents.

After losing 0-1 to Jomo Cosmos at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium two weeks ago, Baroka came back with empty hands from their away fixture against Roses United, when they lost 1-3 at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa. Baroka dropped from the eighth to the 11th position on the log, following the poor results.

The pace setters, Milano United FC, maintained their unbeaten

Modimole Aces were too strong for Phungo All Stars and beat them 2-1 in a Safa Second Division match played at the Eltivillas grounds on Sunday.

Both sides played attacking

football in the first half. Stars had their first regret in the early minutes. Lloyd Davhana fumbled at the goal finish after beating the offside trap.Stars enjoyed more ball possession, but their

promising moves were turned into a disappointment by the solid defence of Aces.

Marks Munyai of the home team opened the scoring when he beat the offside trap and scored easily.

A few minutes later, keeper Langa Gogo misdjuged the flight of the ball and saw the ball hit the net.

The boys from Modimole pressed hard in search of the winning goal, but realized that their chances were slim. The visitors abandoned their positions and packed themselves at the far back. Simon Maseko scored the winning goal of his team in the 80th minute after he had received a wellcooked pass from Tsepo Selamolela.

Hulisani Mathugana of Stars was reprimanded with a card for rough play.

Dimatso Sibaynoni of Aces protects the ball from Marks Munyai.

Crime

R28 000 robbery case again postponed

Accused: Ms Vhulahani Ndou (40).

The Sibasa Regional Court warned the accused in the R28 000 robbery case that she must exercise her right to a fair trial urgently and find a lawyer to represent her.

This was heard when Ms Vhulahani Ndou (40) and her three co-accused, Freddy Mulovhedzi (55), Fulufhelo Mulovhedzi (22) and Lufuno Mavhunge (29),

S CCER LOGS

appeared in court for trial two weeks ago. The trial couldn't continue because Ndou had so far not found a lawyer who would represent her.

The court granted her a final opportunity until 17 January next year, and warned that the trial would nonetheless continue, whether or not she had a lawyer.

The four stand accused of

robbing R28 000 from the local stokvel's treasurer, Mrs Joyce Mukwevho, at her home.

The accused are all out on R1 000 bail, except Mulovhedzi (Sr), who had since violated his parole conditions.

At the time of his arrest, he was reportedly on parole, after serving more than 10 years in jail for a similar crime.

Victory for Black Leopards Black Leopards registered their second victory, when they beat Thanda Zulu Royals 2-1 at Seshego Stadium on Saturday.

The local boys initiated some promising moves from the centre of the pitch but were denied a number of scoring opportunities by the solid defence of their opponents.Lidoda Duvha approached the second half like a house on fire, with their midfielders distributing some telling passes to the strikers. They threatened to score in the early minutes of the second half. Dunga Mganga forced his way through the defence of their opponents before passing the ball to David Zulu. His attempt missed the target by inches.

Royals abandoned their position and packed themselves at the far back. Samuel Tefu scored Leopards’ first goal. He unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box and beat the opponents’ keeper easily. The keeper watched in disbelief as the ball hit the net to give his team a 0-1 deficit.

After the goal, Leopards lost shape in the midfield and Royals capitalized on this to score when their veteran striker David Radebe finished a square pass from Sphamandla Zungu. Karabo Tshepe of Leopards forced his way through the defence of the opponents and released a rocket from outside the box to make the score 2-1.
