KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com An aeroplane belonging to a sheikh from the United Arab Emirates arrived in Polokwane on Tuesday, minus its important owner but allegedly with bags of trouble in tow. Disembarking from the plane was delayed after irregularities pertaining to onboard weapons belonging to the sheik were found, causing both the Limpopo Police and the South African National Defence Force to swoop down on the Antonov 76 Russian cargo plane. It is alleged that the sheikh, who owns his own game farm in Limpopo for the purpose of hunting once a year, had an array of personal hand weapons for the purpose of hunting on board his plane and that the permits allowing the weapons to enter the country were not all in place. Marius du Preez from Arms for Africa, an expert in the field of weapon permits and the various applications that need to be in place for the legal handling of these weapons, said even if a weapon had arrived in the country without the necessary permits in place the owner still had the opportunity to apply for a temporary weapons permit upon his arrival. “He just needs to supply the authorities with proof of ownership of the weapons, a letter of invitation from the farm or establishment where he will be hunting and a letter of application.

he Aids Foundation of South Africa (Afsa) is concerned about the high prevalence of HIV/Aids in most rural areas of the country particularly Limpopo. Afsa Public and Media Relations Officer, Roland Vilane during a Learning and Sharing seminar held in Polokwane on Tuesday said it is a serious concern to the foundation. “The prevalence of HIV/Aids has gone up because most people no longer use the preventative methods. In the recent 2011 antenatal clinic survey, the HIV prevalence rate in Limpopo is estimated to have been 21,4% in 2010 and 22,1% in 2011,” Vilane said. According to the Actuarial Society of South Africa’s (Assa) provincial model there were 409,161 people living with HIV in Limpopo in 2011. HIV prevalence among antenatal clinic attendees in Limpopo declined significantly from 21,5% in 2007 to 20,7% in 2008, and increased to 21,4% in 2009, 21,9% in 2010 and 22,1% in 2011. Despite the increase in new infections Limpopo remains the third lowest affected province after the Western Cape (18,2%) and the Northern Cape (17,0%). Vilane urged local community based organisations and custodians of cultural authorities

well received. We have tried and it looks like we are losing the battle,” Vilane said. The seminar was attended by representatives of the Department of Health and Social Development, community based organisations and other related stakeholders.

Millions returned to department to address roads backlog RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com R637 million that was taken from the Department of Roads and Transport by National Treasury during the previous financial year because it was not adequately spent, will soon be returned to the department and allocated to various road projects.

port Minister Dipuo Peters and DRT MEC Lohlogonolo Masoga. DRT Spokesperson Jimmy Machaka would not elaborate on how the department will allocate the money or what motivation the department used to convince Peters to decide in its favour. The money will be added to the 2014/15 budget. Machaka said: “It will be allocated for the various roads infrastructures in the province and other responsibilities that will further the objectives of the department.”

Masoga is quoted in a press statement to have said that he is happy with Peters’ acceptance of their presentation to have the money returned back to the department’s coffers. “The amount will go a long way in addressing the road infrastructure backlog in our province,” Masoga is quoted to have said. At the time of going to press Machaka had still not responded with detail of which projects are to benefit from the returned funds.

Former Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) MEC Ishmail Kgetjepe got the health portfolio, while former Safety, Security and Liaison MEC Joyce Mashamba will take up the new portfolio of social development and welfare. Kgetjepe was replaced by Mmakoma Makhurupetje, who used to be a general manager at the same department and is Deputy Provincial Secretary of the ruling party. With the announcement of the merger of the Departments of Roads and Transport and Safety, Security and Liaison to form the future Transport, Safety and Liaison Department came the surprise appointment of Mapula MokabaPhokwana, sister to the late Peter Mokaba. The new Public Works and

She got the crucial position of MEC for Education. Another newcomer in the line-up, Nandi Ndalane, was given the portfolio of Sport, Arts and Culture. The Agriculture and Rural Development MEC’s position was entrusted to Joy Matshoge, who used to be Deputy Speaker of the Legislature and is former ANC Provincial Task Team (PTT) Coordinator. From Mathabatha’s old guard only a few remained. Economic Development, Environment and Tourism MEC Seaparo Sekoati kept his portfolio, as did Rudolph Phala as MEC of Provincial Treasury.

Hangwani Mulaudzi from the Limpopo Police confirms that there was a bit of a stir on Tuesday following one of the weapons on the plane not having the correct permit or documentation. “I can confirm that the plane that was underway from the United Arab Emirates and the occupants, mostly assistants working on the sheikh’s farm, were detained at

the Polokwane airport for a brief period of time, where after the passengers were released to make their way to the farm in preparation for the arrival of their employer. There was a problem with one of the weapons, but this will be sorted out before the end of the day today (Wednesday),” Mulaudzi stated. He could unfortunately not comment on the arrival of the sheikh due to his dignitary status. Polokwane Observer was reliably informed that the sheikh will be making his arrival in Limpopo within the next week.

Valuation roll Object now or hold your tongue BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

he General Valuation Roll of Polokwane Municipality is compiled every four years and is, inter alia, used to provide information that is used to determine the assessment rates registered owners of rateable land within the municipal area will eventually pay as assessment rates. Assessment rates are additional to amounts payable for utilities such as refuse removal, sewage and water and electricity for which the tariffs are calculated after the costs of providing such services have been taken into account. These services are managed in the same way as a normal business with a profit margin if possible. Monies collected from assessment rates are used mostly to pay for services and amenities that are not totally self-financed such as roads, health services, libraries, municipal safety and the traffic department. The amount payable for assessment rates is calculated by multiplying the tax rate by the valuation in Rand and thereafter divided by twelve to arrive at the monthly amount. The tax rate is revised annually and informed by the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demand for funds to balance the budget. The valuation therefore stands fixed while the tax rate is adjusted to arrive at the required income result. The amount of valuation reflected on the

Vleislapa Marshallstraat is beste in sy kategorie in SA >> Storie en fotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s op bl 11

roll is the value of land and improvements and does not necessarily show the price that a property will be sold for on the open market during the full term of the roll, but rather the price on date of valuation. The valuation is partially informed by the prices paid for properties of the same size and improvements in the same area and is done by registered valuators contracted by the local authority. In deciding to lodge an objection, the property owner should therefore not only compare his valuation with those of neighbours, but also ensure that the information contained in the roll is complete and accurate. Property owners that are informed about the process prefer a higher valuation because it provides better security to financial institutions compared to a lower valuation with a lower assessment liability. The key therefore lies with the tax rate that is contained in the annual budget of income and expenditure of the local authority. The closing date for inspection of the roll and lodging of objections was originally 30 May 2014, but the period was recently extended to 23 June 2014 due to the large number of issues and concerns that were already raised. Any enquiries regarding the roll or the process involved may be directed to Jacob Majola, Saville Palmer or Suzanne Malan on 015 290 2000 or E-mail valuations@polokwane.gov.za. Although comment has been requested from the municipality, it could not be sourced at the time of going to press.

Westenburg Secondary School parents up in arms

>> Afrikaans teachers - an issue for more than five years >> From A-students to failing learners KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com

arents of Grade 8 learners from Westenburg Secondary School’s Afrikaans medium class are enraged after realising that their children will be failing the year due to a lack of educators who can teach through the medium of Afrikaans Concerned parents held a meeting during which the reason for the poor reports their children, who in Grade 7 at Good Hope Primary School had mostly done very well, had received. The troubled group of parents then proceeded to choose a representative who was delegated to address their concerns with the principal of the school. The reports of at least

Connected by Vodacom

15 learners were compared to their Grade 7 reports and the parents came to the conclusion that their children are about to fail Grade 8. A parent, who wished to remain unidentified for fear of her child being victimised, went as far as requesting that her child be readmitted to Grade 7 so as to use that report when seeking admission to a school in the city. “My child was an A-student who was not only academically ahead of her peers but also socially adept and more than ready for high school. After joining the other learners at Westenburg Secondary we found that her books were nearly empty and that almost no lessons were given,” she stated and added that exam times was nearly impossible for the affected learners as they knew almost nothing of what they were tested on. Another parent went to Westenburg Secondary to find out more about the situation. She was told by Deputy Headmaster Bettie Buys that the best option for her child would be to switch over to English medium as there was not only a shortage of Afrikaans medium educators but also a shortage of Afrikaans learner material and textbooks. Buys, standing in for the principal who was on sick

leave, explained that there were not enough Afrikaans medium educators willing to apply for positions at the school due to its reputation already being tarnished. Limpopo Department of Education Spokesperson, Pitsi Maloba told Polokwane Observer that these issues at Westenburg Secondary School have been going on for at least five years. “We at the department are fully aware of these complaints and have for five years already been looking into the matter. The problem is directly related to the lack of Afrikaans teachers and not the lack of textbooks or study materials,” Maloba said. He explained that the problem is so serious that once an advertisement is placed for an Afrikaans medium educator at Westenburg the advertisement closes without even a single application being received. He said they have been working tirelessly and that one of the only solutions seems to be creating awareness among learners that they can be the solution. “If more learners make the decision to study teaching after school whilst majoring in becoming an Afrikaans teacher, the gap in the market can be filled,” Maloba suggested.

When asked how this will affect the current learners who are suffering and failing, Maloba could not respond and kept diverting the topic of the conversation to future solutions rather than solving issues at hand. “Parents, we will try our best to find a solution to the situation soon,” Maloba said. When asked regarding a time frame for results or a conclusion, Maloba repeated all his previous statements and ended off by saying a solution will be found “in due time”.

Workers from the Department of Public Works busy filling the many potholes on the tar access road to the Dalmada/Baskoppies smallholdings last Thursday.

Potholes remain a problem in Dalmada WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com As the ageing tar access road to the Dalmada/ Baskoppies smallholdings slowly deteriorates due to lack of maintenance and is used more by heavy duty trucks that are operating in the area, the recent attempt to fix potholes at a busy intersection by the Limpopo Department of Public Works leaves much to be desired. The potholes were originally filled with gravel by the department at the beginning of January but due to the heavy rainfall experienced in the area later on, the potholes became more hazardous than before. The situation became so dangerous at the intersection as vehicles swerved to avoid the potholes, that a long-standing resident in the area, Joubert van Niekerk brought the matter to the attention of the relevant authorities. After members of the Dalmada Policing Forum managed to acquire some tar from the road construction company busy with the circle at Myngenoegen on the R71, workers from the Department of Public Works proceeded with filling the potholes last Thursday. However, a large pothole at the intersection remained unfilled despite the efforts of the workers. The Secretary of the Dalmada Policing Forum Dawn Hattingh said the maintenance of the tar access road falls under the jurisdiction of Roads Agency Limpopo and all gravel roads are maintained by the Polokwane Municipality. Although all roads in the area are beginning to deteriorate due to insufficient maintenance, Hattingh commented that residents are grateful for the little maintenance that is done. She added that this only happens after lots of correspondence between them and the relevant departments. Spokesperson for the Polokwane Municipality Malesela Maubane said the municipality is committed to ensuring that all gravel roads are in a good condition. He added that the maintenance of all gravel roads falling under their care will be addressed in the 2014/15 Integrated Development Plan. The Department of Public Works could not be reached for comment despite numerous attempts.

he mother of a 20-month-old baby who was allegedly strangled, thrown down a pit latrine and left for dead appeared before the Ritavi Magistrate’s Court on Monday after she was arrested on Sunday on a charge of murder. Christina Makhanani Baloyi (20) appeared briefly in court and was remanded in custody until she makes her second appearance on Friday. Hangwani Mulaudzi from the Limpopo Police said community members from Mbekwana Village outside Letsitele informed

the Police after they had heard the baby’s screams coming from a pit toilet. “Police were alerted on Thursday evening after community members heard hysterical screaming of a baby coming from the toilet. Unfortunately by the time the Police arrived on the scene and rescued the little girl from the stinking cold pit toilet, Xitsunduxo Baloyi was already dead,” Mulaudzi said. He further said it is believed that the unemployed mother of two allegedly strangled her baby and, thinking that she was dead, threw her in the toilet. She was arrested on the spot. Mulaudzi relayed the message of an enraged Limpopo Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola who said that he will make sure this case is given priority. He further, in a press release regarding the first appearance of the alleged murderer, said: “As the Limpopo Police we strongly condemn crimes against women and children. Whatever circumstances may have led her to killing her baby is irrelevant and inexcusable. I am shocked and horrified that despite all our resources and that of various other institutions that are there to help,

she still chose to commit murder.” Santie Oberholzer, a local social worker who is also attached to Ngwana Baby House said there are other options available to desperate mothers that will prevent such drastic action and save a life that could have become a valuable asset to the human race. “Many mothers who find themselves in situations they feel are irreparable need to realise that there are always other options to murder or abandonment. Many mothers who resort to such atrocities are scared of prosecution. This should not hinder you from saving an innocent child’s life,” Oberholzer said. Knowing your rights and the options available to you are very important and Oberholzer stressed that not all persons living in the rural areas of Limpopo are acquainted with these options. She indicated that help can be obtained from churches, magistrate’s offices, clinics, police stations and that any social worker at any organisation can help sort out such problems before violence becomes the only way.

Election posters to be removed by midnight RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com A fortnight after the 2014 elections posters put up by political parties in the run-up to the elections still greet residents of Polokwane from lampposts, walls and electricity boxes. The deadline for removing these items is midnight tonight (Thursday). While the faces and promises of leaders of the Economic Freedom Fighters, African National Congress, Democratic Alliance and smaller parties have become rather tatty reminders of their campaigns Polokwane Municipality has warned parties to keep to the deadline or risk being issued with notices for

breaking a by-law of the city. Municipal Spokesperson Malesela Maubane said municipal by-laws on outdoor advertising state that election posters should be removed 14 days after an election, which in this case is today (Thursday). Political parties were made aware of this upon putting up the posters. “Parties were also recently reminded on the removal of posters through their respective liaison committees. Failure to remove posters by midnight will result in our law enforcement officers issuing notices to relevant political parties for contravening the by-laws,” he said. Maubane could not specify the amount but made it clear that fines will be issued per poster which can cost a party a hefty amount.

appeared before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Friday after they were caught trying to offload stolen cattle at an auction in Polokwane last Wednesday. The suspects appeared briefly in court where their case was remanded to 21 May, when they will be afforded the opportunity to formally apply for bail. The value of the stolen cattle is estimated at R77 000. Ronel Otto from the Limpopo Police said the suspects allegedly stole 11 head of cattle, loaded them onto a truck and attempted to sell them at an auction in Polokwane. “Little did they know that the Limpopo Stock Theft Unit was a step ahead of them and they were apprehended on Wednesday morning minutes before offloading their loot at the auction,” said Otto. Otto says the information that led to their arrests were received from a community member stating that there will be people transporting alleged stolen cattle from Maleboho in the Blouberg area to an auction taking place in Polokwane, after which the Police prepared themselves for the imminent arrest of the suspects.

>> Police assist to give administrator access to municipal premises >> Residents start to suffer - water quality already not up to standard RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

esidents of the Mogalakwena Municipality are experiencing a steady decline in basic services delivery as the battle to place the municipality under administration continues. The most recent episode in the saga happened on Monday when appointed Administrator Dikgape Makobe was refused entry to the municipal premises and help from the Police was required to gain access. Later on the same day the municipality hit back with a court interdict ordering Makobe to leave the premises. Municipal Spokesperson Malesela Selokela confirmed that the interdict was served on Makobe. He also said the Police broke two municipal

gates in order to give Makobe access. Spokesperson for the Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlement and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta), Motupa Selomo yesterday (Wednesday) said: “Hooligans denied Makobe access and that is why the Police were called to the scene. As a department we only heard about the interdict but have not seen it yet.” “As we speak Mogalakwena Municipality also forfeited their R83 million conditional grant as they failed to spend adequate amounts during the last financial year. Continuous fights among officials cause the municipality to fail in delivering their services. It is ridiculous of them to challenge the administration of the municipality because its residents are starting to suffer. We care about what happens in court, we care about service delivery to the people,” he added. Selomo expressed his concerns on service delivery within the municipality. “There is no municipality,” he said when referring to basic service delivery. Thipa Selalala, Spokesperson of the South African Local Government Association (Salga) in Limpopo referred our request for comment to Coghsta saying that Salga doesn’t comment on the situation in Mokgalakwena Municipality.

Municipality is not up to standard and contains 92 000 units of E. coli per 100 ml. AfriForum addressed the issue in a letter to the municipality and the Department of Water Affairs. “All municipalities are guided by water licenses and the requirements thereof that are even stricter than that of national regulations. We will in future ask municipalities to provide AfriForum with their licenses and plan of action to assure a greener future for residents,” Provincial Coordinator Morné Mostert said. Coghsta MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe is quoted to have said in an earlier media address that the challenges in the municipality continue to dominate the public and the media in particular. “The centre of their challenges include dispute over the contract validity of the municipal manager and the council

and institutional instability characterised by serious infightings amongst council members and senior officials which negatively affected the ability of the municipal leadership to fulfil its legislative mandates including the provision of basic services and efficient financial management,” he said.

Miss Limpopo and local media reach across borders KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com Miss Limpopo together with Polokwane Observer have opened up their hearts and plan on localising the plight of the 270 recently kidnapped Nigerian girls in the form of a peaceful and organised march scheduled to take place soon. The Miss Limpopo and Polo-

kwane Observer teams, which includes Miss Limpopo 2014 Kholofelo Lekganyane and Miss Limpopo Teen 2014 Tiane Ströh as well as other organising members of the pageant felt it necessary to bring the plight of these girls closer to home and in doing so will be circulating a petition prior to the march which will be taking place next week from SABC to the First Lady’s office situated at the

building of the Office of the Premier. The signed petition forms will then be handed over to Premier who will then forward it to the Nigerian government and their Embassy. For more information regarding starting times of the march and how to get your signature on the petition contact Tumi at Miss Limpopo on 015 291 4836.

Old die-hards, youthful rookies in Legis line-up

YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com

arty stalwarts, die-hards and starry-eyed newcomers constituted the mix of Legislature members (MPLs) inaugurated during the first sitting of the fifth provincial parliament yesterday (Wednesday). During the occasion Premier Stan Mathabatha was re-elected uncontested as Limpopo’s First Citizen. In the evident addressing of gender parity pressures within the African National Congress (ANC) that arose with the announcement of an almost all-male line-up for candidates to be inaugurated as Premiers across the country, Mirriam Ramadwa took up the Speaker’s seat in the Legislature. Former Roads and Transport MEC Lehlogonolo Masoga is Limpopo Legislature’s new Deputy Speaker. Both nominations were uncontested. The 49 Legislature seats were taken up by a host of old faithfuls and rookies. From the pool of 39 members on the African National Congress (ANC) list Mathabatha selected his new guard, announcing his Executive Council (Exco) in his acceptance speech. The ten men and women would be tasked with ensuring a new beginning for a provincial government devoid of partial administrative rule. Having returned to the ANC grouping of MPLs are the likes of Soviet Lekganyane, Rob Tooley and Joe Maswanganyi, who all held positions of office bearers in the past. Cadres newly introduced to the Legislature include Tandi Moraka, Onicca Moloi, Dan Sebabi and Goodman Miteleni. From the camps of the opposition the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) took up their six seats,

the Democratic Alliance (DA) the three seats and Congress of the People (Cope) one seat. The EFF line-up was made known a week ago. The representatives would be led by Provincial Leader Michael Mathebe. The other members are Jossey Buthane, Mapula Ledwaba, George Raphela, Meisie Kennedy and Matome Machaka. The young Katlego Phala joined her colleagues, DA Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle and DA Limpopo Premier candidate Langa Bodlani in taking up her new seat. Cope was represented by Patrick Sikhutshi who claimed the only remaining seat the party secured during the past elections. The presence of a fresh united front in the newly constituted Legislature served as a reminder to the ruling party of seats and opportunities lost. There is no more shaking it to the tune of Ytjukutja. Instead they might want to consider pleas for service delivery that have become a constant nagging. As excitement over occupation of a new house set in, the opposition planned to boycott a catered lunch to rather have a meal prepared on the street as they did before elections. Beforehand Mathebe told Polokwane Observer of the intention to skip the luncheon to follow the ceremony in the Legislative chamber and instead purchase their food from traders who form their support base positioned at the entrance to the Legislature premises. He said the decision would demonstrate the idea of bringing an end to catering for people who could afford to pay for it themselves. They would continue doing in Parliament what they were doing while campaigning, Mathebe stressed. The Legislature opening is expected to occur on a date still to be announced, it was learnt.

Gevolglik dra dit daartoe by dat getalle drasties krimp. Die swaeltjies keer gewoonlik terug na hulle nessies van die vorige jaar of bou nuwe nessies op dieselfde plek,” sê Oosthuizen.

The pair will be leaving Polokwane at the end of May Pat Greyling was married to the late Mike Greyling, who started Greyling Credit Bureau in the late 1960s. After working at Bradlows in Polokwane for many years, Pat joined him at Greyling’s where she did the collections. Bernice du Plessis was well known in the estate agency circles in Polokwane. She was also a member of the Rotary Anns at the Rotary Club of Pietersburg 100 where she has served for the past 13 years. She also served two terms as President of the organisation.

In her years of presidency, donations were made to schools and other needy organisations such as the Myngenoegen Shelter. Although they will miss all their friends in Polokwane, the pair insists they will be visiting Limpopo regularly, especially during the wet, cold winter months of the Cape.

Residents should continue to use water sparingly as the city’s reservoirs measured at an alarming low level according to the Polokwane Municipality. Municipal Spokesperson Malesela Maubane on Tuesday said the 50 mega litre and new 30 mega litre reservoirs contained only 20% of their capacity. “This is due to ongoing mainte-

nance on the Olifantspoort purification plant which may take about three weeks,” he said. The old 30 mega litre reservoir remains empty while it is being prepared for resealing. The reservoirs in Potgieter Avenue contained 50% water the one in Extension 34, 95%. “We were unable to determine the water level at the Seshego reservoir as there was an indication of a fault. We have already dispatched technicians to look into the matter,” Maubane said.

The Police are appealing to the public to refrain from walking alone at night and to rather walk in bigger groups. The Police also request anyone with information regarding the incident or suspects to contact Mashiane on 082 729 0169.

Scammers rife in Polokwane streets

Various complaints from residents living in Cycad and Welgelegen regarding scam artists, has compelled the Polokwane Police to issue a stern warning that people should be on the look-out for such persons. Lesiba Ramoshaba from the Polokwane Police says they will be doing everything in their might to aid residents from being misused and misled by these suspected thugs. With reference to a specific scam artist who claims to be the legal representative of a renowned politician and uses crutches to garner sympathy from his intended victims Ramoshaba cautioned that people should at all cost refrain from handing over money to strangers or allow them into their homes or businesses.

Tuinvullis moet self verwyder word RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com Tuinvullis soos takke, wat nie in vullissakke geplaas kan word nie, moet self deur inwoners verwyder word. Dit is volgens munisipale regulasies, sê Polokwane munisipale woordvoerder, Malesela Maubane nadat ‘n inwoner van Faunapark ‘n onderonsie met munisipale werkers gehad het wat elke Woensdag in die omgewing vullis verwyder. “Nadat die vullisvragmotor by my huis verby is, het ek gesien hulle het nie die tuinvullis opgetel nie. Die vragmotor het weer by my huis verbygery en ek het die werkers gevra hoekom hulle nie tuinvullis verwyder nie waarna ek meegedeel is dat ek dit self moet doen,” sê die anonieme inwoner. Hy sê die werker het gesê daar is lankal kennisgewings daaroor uitgereik. Maubane sê tuinvullis soos blare of gras wat in vullissakke geplaas is, word wel deur die munisipaliteit verwyder, maar groot blare of takke moet self deur inwoners na die tuinvullisterrein op die hoek van Webster- en Suidstraat geneem word. “Daar is twee ander tuinvullisterreine in Vermikulietstraat, Ladanna en Buysstraat in Westenburg. Ons vra inwoners mooi om te verseker dat vullissakke toegeknoop en netjies op die sypaadjie op die dag van verwydering geplaas word,” sê Maubane.

communities on state of the district RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

apricorn District Executive Mayor Lawrence Mapoulo addressed communities in Botlokwa on Tuesday during his State of the District Address assuring people the municipality will never stop searching for possibilities of freedom in the district and the continuous strive to guard the most precious right of all, the right to change the district and shape citizens’ future. He started his speech by referring to 20 years of democracy saying that the African National Congress (ANC) led government has over the past five years worked together with all South African citizens to do more to fight poverty and unemployment and reduce inequality. ‘More of our people have been lifted out of extreme poverty. We have created more jobs than before, expanded social grants, housing and basic services to our people and further improved access to better education and health care,” he said. He referred to the 2030 Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) saying the district’s strategy fits well with the National Development Plan (NDP) which envisions among other to ensure inclusive economic growth, decent work and sustainable livelihoods. The strategy casts a vision that inspires development in all areas of the district, stimulate economic growth and create employment. By giving progress reports on various services Mapoulo was of the meaning that the Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) is on the right path to defeat the past legacy. Infrastructure development The 2030 GDS identifies an urgent need for investment in the upgrading of water reticulation systems, storm water and waste treatment plants.

>> Households to share only 30% of district’s water resources

Bulk water provision “It cannot be accepted as normal that households have to share only 30% of water resources while the rest goes to agriculture. To achieve our 2030 vision in basic services, we need to reverse these water supply imbalances and ensure equitable provision of water to households, mining and agriculture,” Mapoulo said. In the past 20 years CDM connected 89% of the district’s population to water and 9 809 new households were connected to water in the last financial year. Sanitation 65% of households have access to sanitation with a 35% backlog. Electricity 90% of households have electricity and with the Zuurbult solar plant outside Vivo the 2030 GDS target to have 100% households electrified might be reached sooner. Roads and Transport “Poor roads do no justice to 3 063 taxis and 180 buses that operate on our road network every day thus compromising their lifespan on the road,” Mapoulo said. Several projects were identified as part of the integrated plan in order for the infrastructure to be able to facilitate the efficient flow of traffic with minimum negative externalities. Environmental management The district has embarked on a number of interventions to turn Capricorn into a selfsustained, greener, safe, cleaner and healthier home. CDM has completed the development of environmental management plans for local municipalities, over 750 trees were planted in the past financial year and CDM partnered with Wildlife and Environmental Society of South Africa (Wessa) to take environmental education to schools and awarded them for the work they did in environmental management.

“We still experience low collection rate of revenue from water services, owing to billing challenges in certain areas and that has impacted negatively on the growth of the capital budget,” Mapoulo said referring to 1 200 water meters being replaced in Lebowakgomo to help address the matter. Strategies CDM will be working on to intensify credit control involve ensuring municipalities to implement systems to bill all services at appropriate rates.

Afrikaners betoon eer by kranslegging BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Lede van die Afrikanergemeenskap het Saterdagmiddag weer by die plaaslike konsentrasiekampbegraafplaas vergader vir die jaarlikse kranslegging en eerbetoonseremonie wat deur die Doornkraal Voortrekkerkommando aangebied is.

Lim to benefit from Indonesian investments RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com A visit from Indonesian Ambassador to South Africa, Suprapto Martosetomo resulted in some eye opening discussions on how Limpopo can benefit from the country’s success regarding Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and agricultural practices. Martosetomo and Berlian Helmy, Counsellor of Economic Affairs in Indonesia hosted a presentation to Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) as well as Executive Mayor Lawrence Mapoulo and it was clear that Indonesia, the country with the largest growing economy and only 7,6% unemployment rate, success lies within agriculture and the promotion of SMEs. Millions of Rand can stream into the province and the unemployment rate can decrease drastically if a relationship can be formed between Limpopo and Indonesia. The main purpose of the meeting was to strengthen the cooperation between Indonesia and South Africa particular in the Capricorn District and also to present trade and

investment opportunities offered in Indonesia following the last official visit to Indonesia by a Capricorn delegation in 2011. “Job creation is one of the biggest headaches in Capricorn and the business sector should take this opportunity very seriously,” Mapoulo said. According to Helmy Indonesia has an agriculture based economy and 56% of the country falls in the middle income class of an estimated $30 per day. Indonesia imports a lot of South African produce especially maize, grain and sugarcane but there is still a big need of soya beans in Indonesia. “In 2008 during the world wide economic crisis Indonesia showed a stable growth due to its successful SMEs. Over the past year poverty decreased from 16,66% to 8%. South Africa is number 23 on the Indonesia list of trading companies and we would like to move South Africa to the number one position,” Helmy said. Helmy concluded by inviting guests to the Trade Xpo Indonesia to be hosted in Jakarta, Indonesia from 8 to 12 October to get a better understanding on how business bonds can be formed with Indonesia.

MEC Sekoati launches Limpopo Youth Chamber Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

he MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (Ledet), Seaparo Sekoati launched the provincial Youth Chamber of Commerce and Industries (LYCC&I) in Polokwane last Thursday. The chamber aims to ensure that young persons in business are able to participate in the country’s policy discourse and the transformation of different sectors of the economy. Sekoati said the LYCC&I will improve the situation for young entrepreneurs in the province. “We are also going to establish a youth fund for young entrepreneurs that seek to incubate and support emerging enterprises.” He added that through the LYCC&I young entrepreneurs will be mentored and receive training programmes and various skills such as creating intellectual property rights for their businesses and registration processes. “There are also many challenges facing young entrepreneurs in the country such as financial barriers, lack of access to international markets and lack of business knowhow. Structures like

these will help young entrepreneurs to help each other and also address those challenges they are confronted with,” Sekoati said. The launch was attended by young entrepreneurs from all districts in province. Head of Communications for LYCC&I, Chris Setlhako said the chamber will go a long way in shaping the economic landscape in the province. “The youth are unable to access business opportunities and funding from government. We strongly believe as collective to overcome those challenges and thus assist government creating jobs and build a strong base for the economy,” Setlhako said. During the launch Setlhako made a call to the banks, development finance institutions, mining houses, government departments, local municipalities, state owned entities and enterprises to relax their stringent funding formulae and design programmes that are targeting young entrepreneurs in the province. “We understand that these collaborative efforts will gear up towards creating 5 million jobs in the next five years. We will prioritise the following sectors mainly energy, mining, agribusiness, tourism and manufacturing,” Setlhako said.

New mall to bring quality regional shopping to Thohoyandou RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com Three years ago Limpopo saw the opening of the province’s first regional mall, Mall of the North right on Polokwane’s doorstep where it continues to grow by luring more and more visitors to the city and the province. Now another investment in the province, the Thavhani Mall is sure to contribute to the local economy when construction of this R900 million mall commences in Thohoyandou in June. This brainchild of Khosi Ramovha from Thavhani Property Investments who started working on the concept eight years ago is envisaged to open its doors in August 2016. Commencement on construction was announced by joint developers and owners Flanagan & Gerard Property Investments and Thavhani Property Investments last week. The 55 000 m² double level mall will offer shoppers a comprehensive retail mix set to complement Thohoyandou’s existing shopping, service the sizable latent retail demand in the area and most importantly introduce top quality retail space that will boost the economy of the Venda district. Patrick Flanagan from Flanagan & Gerard is quoted to have said in a recent press release that the design is such that it will provide shoppers with a wide and appealing choice of retail while serving the needs of local and regional residents. The mall’s tenants will be

led by two supermarket anchors, three fashion anchors and at least two major banks. “It will introduce several new retailers to Thohoyandou and include a variety of fashion, accessories, furniture, electronics, health and beauty and much more. It will also include a lively food court with restaurants, which will become an exciting meeting place in the mall.” Thavhani Mall will benefit from an excellent location right at the heart of Thohoyandou’s central growth node which positions it to become the dominant mall in the region. Thohoyandou is the administrative centre of Vhembe District Municipality and Thulamela Local Municipality. Flanagan said Thavhani Mall enjoys excellent access and visibility on a 76 ha site at the intersection of the R524 road to Makhado and the new road linking Giyani to Sibasa and surrounding rural areas. It will also incorporate a taxi rank making it easier for people to visit the mall. In addition to the financial impact the mall will have on the region it is estimated that between 1 500 and 2 000 sustainable jobs will be created. Thohoyandou will also retain around R200 million in retail spend which is currently being spent outside the town. “Thavhani Mall’s contemporary retail design will reflect the region’s habitat and create light and airy spaces which flow naturally through the centre. It will be an asset that the community can enjoy and be proud of,” Flanagan is quoted to have said.

Ons was op daardie stadium in die twaalfde posisie en dit was jare se harde werk, toewyding en ondersteuning deur afrigters, spelers en ouers om dié doelwit te bereik.” Hy het almal betrokke vir hul harde werk bedank en gesê: “PHS is bekend daarvoor dat ons groot gaan in alles wat ons aanpak. Dit geld ook vir die sportvelde van Limpopo en die Noordvaal-gebied.”

PLS het sedert die begin van die netbalseisoen gewys dat hulle vir geen span hoef terug te staan nie en al die spanne het hul wedstryde teen Pepps gewen. Die o.13A-span het hul spiere gebult en met 46 punte teenoor Pepps se nul geseëvier terwyl die o.11Aspan ook vir ‘n welverdiende sege van 39-3 gesorg het. Die o.11B- en o.13B-span behaal elk 30 punte terwyl hul opponente geen enkele doel kon aanteken nie.

So much more than just a pretty face

Nienkie Viljoen is the Limpopo winner of the Miss Junior South Africa 2014 pageant. This pageant could prepare entrants for future participation in the bigger contests such as the Miss South Africa pageant.

he coveted title of Miss Junior South Africa 2014 Limpopo is one that brainy local beauty Nienke Viljoen wears with pride. Nienke, a Grade 12 learner at Hoërskool Pietersburg, took part in the annual pageant which was held from 1 to 4 May in Pretoria and after judging and deliberation she was chosen as the Limpopo winner and representative of the pageant. She explained that the competition was a great learning curve and gave her the opportunity to feel like a princess in all the outfits she was given to model in. “We took part in four categories and each had a different outfit to model. The categories were Gatsby, eveningwear, casual wear and business wear,” Nienke said. Carolyn Baldwin Botha, Director of Pageants South Africa confirmed Viljoen’s awesome achievement explaining that this simply means that as the Limpopo representative and winner of the pageant, Nienke was in actual fact a part of the top nine girls in the country, as each region and province had their own winner and then an overall winner was chosen out of all the provinces. “At the Miss Junior South

Africa pageant we are looking for a wholesome girl who not only shines as a beauty but more so on a level where she can make a positive difference in the area she will be servicing as a finalist in the pageant. Charity work is the most important aspect of the pageant, followed closely by the normal interview and pageant rounds ensuring the individual chosen is well-rounded and not only talks about the improvement of their province and the country they find themselves in but to actually walk the talk and prove the importance of their communities in comparison to the importance of face value,” concluded Baldwin Botha who says it is a huge privilege to come so far in the pageant as it seen as the direct predecessor to the Miss South Africa pageant The learner who shines brightly as a model feels equally comfortable, if not even more so, behind a school desk where she is working tirelessly to achieve a staggering seven distinctions by the end of Grade 12. This will stand her in good stead when she commences her university career at Stellen bosch where she plans on studying Occupational Therapy. “I was very lucky to be able to bring home the title of Limpopo representative of the

pageant but it is even more important to me to focus on my studies first to ensure a bright future for myself, regardless of where the modelling might take me.” An example of what she would never like to do is the current Miss South Africa who was forced to give up her medical studies due to her modelling career. Viljoen, a proud member of Showcase School of Modelling, said she has been very blessed to train under the wing of an experienced individual in the modelling industry in the person of Cheray van Blerk, the owner of the modelling school. Van Blerk said she is extremely proud of Nienke and her achievements. She is even more proud of the fact that Nienke has chosen to make her studies a priority. “It’s not only her modelling achievements that make me proud but also because she epitomises the true nature of beauty. Not outward beauty that is fleeting and deceiving but the fact that she captures the essence of true beauty.” Van Blerk said Nienke captures the essence of true beauty which is truthful, responsible, rich and full of integrity. “She is a young lady that I can see will use her beauty wisely to impact and touch people’s lives. Well done on your success,” Van Blerk concluded.

People with disability just need a chance in life “People must realise that disabled people are just ordinary human beings with challenges,” says Gabriel Maserumule, Job Placement Officer at the Association for Persons with Disability (APD). Maserumule was born in 1969 in Rakgoadi Village in Sekhukhune. He attended school there and matriculated at Mokone Amabula High School in 1988. He joined the South African Defence Force and was shot in the neck just before entering an officer’s course. Due to the injuries sustained in the incident, Maserumule was now a quadriplegic and the active life of a soldier something of the past. After receiving treatment in 1 Military Hospital for two terms he was discharged and reported at APD where he started his new life. “After just a short time at APD, the Director of APD, Christa van der Walt discovered my potential and changed my whole life. I was deployed at the switchboard and reception and allowed to attend a course on learnership and administration at APD,” Maserumule proudly said. He thereafter attended workshops on work and employment in Bloemfontein and Johannesburg and was employed permanently as Job Placement Officer of APD in 2009, a position he still holds. In this position he does placement of disabled persons at identified employers and does follow-ups to ensure that they are placed appropriately and to see how they are adjusting in the community and workplace. “I am convinced that I was born for this job because it affords me immense joy and pleasure to see how disabled persons are given a chance to put bread on the table for their dependants because of my efforts. We don’t want to be seen as objects of pity,” he said to Polokwane Observer.

Nominations, together with a Curriculum Vitae and copy of the nominee’s ID, as well as a motivation as to the suitability of the nominee, should be submitted to: The Department of Water Affairs, Chief Director: Institutional Oversight. Attention: Ms T Sigwaza, Private Bag X313, Pretoria 0001 or hand deliver to: 191 Francis Baard, Waterbron building.

Karel Ferreira verwag groei in motormark

>> Naverkopediens bly die hart van die motorbedryf >> Brandstofprys, openbare vervoer beïnvloed nie die motormark nie

RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

a tien jaar in die bedryf voorspel nuutaangestelde handelaarshoof van BB Auto, Karel Ferreira vooruitgang in die motorindustrie in Limpopo. Ferreira het verlede maand die pos by BB Auto aanvaar en sê dit is vir hom ‘n uitdaging om ‘n suksesvolle besigheid met gevestigde strukture na ‘n volgende stap te neem. “BB Auto en sy personeel het in die verlede verskeie toekennings ingepalm en my plan is om daarop voort te bou en BB Auto weer die beste handelaar in die land te maak,” sê hy. Hy het ‘n uitgebreide kennis van die plaaslike motormark en meen finansiering bly steeds die grootste uitdaging. “Polokwane se motormark is grootliks van regeringsinstansies afhanklik en met die onlangse administrasie waaronder sommige departemente geplaas is, was dit ‘n moeilike tyd vir handelaars. Dit het ‘n geweldige impak op verkope gehad, maar is reeds besig om ‘n opwaartse neiging in verkope en aansoeke te toon,” sê Ferreira. Hy reken dat die verkiesing op ‘n goeie tyd plaasgevind het en dat verandering in strukture net positief kan wees. Ferreira sê die tendens is tans dat motoreienaars hul voertuie langer hou omdat voertuie wat ingeruil word hoë kilometerlesings het. “Dit maak die tweedehandse mark meer

Die geleentheid het nie net leerders gelok nie maar ook leerkragte wat die leiding in

onderskeie skole se toneelgroepe neem, is ook verwelkom. Belangstellendes kon behoorlik hul drama talent slyp, nuwe dinge oor toneel en teater leer en inspirasie vind. Die program is deur die bekende akteur, skrywer en regisseur, David Brink, sy vrou, Liezel en dramastudent, Divan Laung gelei. Dit het uit teoretiese onderwerpe (spel, regie, teks en ontwerp), praktiese voorbeelde en inligting oor deelname aan toneelfeeste en –kompetisies met ATKV wat sy 50ste bestaansjaar vier, bestaan.

Tommies eersdaags op die kassie RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com Maandag se opname van een van die DStvmusiekkanaal, MK, se skole top 10-episodes by die Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé, was ‘n uitsonderlike hoogtepunt waaroor leerders nie uitgepraat kan raak nie. MK besoek verskeie skole tydens die MK Skole Top 10-program waar skole deel van die aankondiging van die MK top 10 Afrikaanse liedere in die land vorm. Die Tommies het vir dae lank onder leiding van die Afrikaanse departementshoof, Vanessa Kachelhoffer ge swoeg en -sweet om die produksie se doelwitbereiking te verseker. Die aankondiging van elke lied is in verskil-

lende klaskamers, werkswinkels of tydens ‘n illustrasie van aktiwiteite by die skool, bekendgestel. “Die leerders het hul gate uit geniet. Ons het vreeslik pret gehad, maar was ook ernstig met tye wanneer dit by die skool se geskiede nis en die sing van die skoollied kom omdat dit die ideale geleentheid is om die skool aan die land bekend te stel. Dit was aangenaam om saam met die leerders en produksiespan van MK te werk om ‘n suksesvolle opname te verseker,” sê Kachelhoffer. Sy sê dit is nie duidelik wanneer die program op televisie uitgesaai sal word nie. “Die produksiespan skiet die hele week by verskeie skole in die land waarna die programme op televisie uitgesaai sal word,” sê Kachelhoffer.

Onder leiding van Jana Kruger is daar minstens 100 hoenders van verskillende rasse te sien en verskeie telers sal teenwoordig wees.” “Die skouruimte vir hoenders is met kruie versier om vir besoekers te wys hoe kruie benut kan word om hulle organies gesond te hou en teen interne en eksterne parasiete te beskerm.” Verlede jaar het die Noordelike Landbouskou gewys dat dit ‘n ideale geleentheid vir boere bied om hul produkte en diere ten toon te stel. Vanjaar sal geen uitsondering wees wanneer organiseerders ‘n ekstra myl gaan stap om meer besoekers te lok nie. Twee van die opwindende gebeure op vanjaar se program is die grootste sosatiekompetisie en die jeugskou. Tydens die jeugskou sal die Settlers Hoër Landbouskool en die Hoërskool Merensky

sake in verskillende kategorieë uitspook. “Dit is ‘n voldagprogram vir die betrokke leerders en ons verwelkom hul passie vir landbou en betrokkenheid by vanjaar se landbouskou,” sê Bezuidenhout. Die Transvaalse Landbou-unie van SuidAfrika Noord (TLU SA Noord) het ander boereverenigings genooi om aan die grootste sosatie-kompetisie deel te neem. Bezuidenhout sê die Legkraal Boerevereniging het ander verenigings uitgedaag om te kyk wie die grootste sosatie kan maak. “Dit gaan nie net daaroor om die grootste sosatie voor te berei nie, maar dit moet ook gebraai word wat ‘n prettige projek sal wees.” Vanjaar kan besoekers hul gereed maak om met die land se beste, asook wêreldbekende boerbok- en brahmaantelers kennis te maak. Groot name soos Willie Becker, Llewellyn en Corrie Labuschagne, Yusef Moosa en Andrew Smit is slegs ‘n paar bekende stoettelers wat hul spogdiere skou. Becker het tydens die onlangse Brahmaan Wêreldkongres in Parys, Vrystaat onder andere toekennings vir die senior kampioenbul, senior kampioen, raskampioen en opperste kampioenkoei verwerf. Boerboktelers soos Anton Bothma, Fanus Hanekom, Josef Kleynhans, Peet Viljoen, Ruan Smit, Schoonheid Boerbok Stoet, Kleinbegin Boerdery en Karsten Boerdery is slegs ‘n paar van die bekende name wat tydens vanjaar se landbouskou betrokke gaan wees. Kleynhans het onlangs die Suid-Afrikaanse rekord opgestel vir die hoogste prys van R51 000 wat vir ‘n boerbokooi op ‘n veiling betaal is. Bothma het egter kort daarna daarop verbeter toe hy R60 000 vir ‘n ooi betaal het. Besoekers kan verseker wees dat slegs die beste boerbokke geskou gaan word. Sy sê die skou sal vanjaar ‘n boerbokstoetveeveiling met 100 gekeurde bokke op Saterdag, 31 Mei aanbied. Kontak Bezuidenhout by 082 797 3227 vir meer inligting, navrae of aanbevelings.

Biking enthusiasts can look forward to Brian Capper

rian Capper started riding MotoX at the age of nine, started trial biking at 11, and won his first national title at 18. He then spent a year in America competing in their National Championships, finishing seventh overall. In 2002 he competed in the National Offroad Championship and finally achieved his dream of winning the Roof of Africa. In 2011 Brian Capper decided that he had tried all the obstacles he could do on the ground, so he decided to take up a challenge in the air. The Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban has an arch over the field that is 350 m wide and 105 m high. Brian’s goal was to bike up the 550 steps to the top and back down the

Elvis Blue

Prior to winning the title of Mnet Idol 2008, Elvis Blue appeared in numerous bands after which he started a project where he sang under the name Mono. The gifted musician’s journey started when he was a young boy, singing in school choirs and busking in the streets of Johannesburg and Scotland. His one and only goal was to make and perform music. After a stint overseas as a street musician, Elvis returned to South Africa where he decided to study contemporary music. As Mono

500 steps on the other side. Keeping momentum and balance on the way up and being careful not to cause the brakes to overheat on the way down, Brian accomplished this insane feat in style being the first one in history to do so. A ten times champion in the disciplines of Supermoto and Trials, Brian competes in selected Enduro and EnduroX races both locally and internationally and spends his down-time entertaining crowds with his gravity defying Xtreme Riding Xhibitions. The show is a 25 minute action-packed display of skill, using a custom-built portable rig. The setup is up and running within 15 minutes

of arriving at a venue, and a full PA system with background music, compare and cordless microphone gets the crowd going within minutes. Volunteers try their hand at balancing the 65 kg trials bike and the very brave lie down and let Brian ride over, across and around them, displaying his fine balance and skill. Brian will even jump right over up to 10 or 12 people. Other unbelievable feats include jumping up onto 2 m high steel boxes and 2,5 m high tables, bridging 1 m gaps with no margin for error and 3 m tall vertical walls. Source: www.briancapper.co.za

he released three albums and when Mono’s record deal came to an end, Elvis decided that he would move to George where he would become a music teacher, write his own music and live a quiet life. Elvis was then approached by a record company who wanted him to record an Afrikaans album. His first album was under his own name, Jan Hoogendyk, and the album did really well. It won an Afrikaanse Taal- en Kultuurvereniging (ATKV) Lier Toekening. His second Afrikaans album, Ontskemer, also under the name Jan Hoogendyk, was nominated for a South African Music Award (Sama) in 2010.

In 2014 alone he was awarded a Sama in the category Best Adult Contemporary Album and two awards, Album of the Year and Male Artist of the Year, during the recent third annual Ghoema Awards. One simply has to listen to the hauntingly beautiful Things My Father Said or Lighthouse or Save Me, or any of his original compositions for that matter, to realise that you are in the company of greatness. At the hospice and children’s home where his wife works he befriended a little boy, Elvis Blaauw to be a keyboard player. When the remarkable young boy passed away in 2009, Hoogendyk adopted his name and Elvis Blue was born.

Prime Circle

“Live This Life” and “My Inspiration” earned heavy rotation on South African radio. 2008 saw Prime Circle release “All or Nothing” which raked in the first two Prime Circle South African Music Award nominations of their career, for Record of the Year and Best Rock Album (English). To date, the first single “She Always Gets What She Wants” has received over 789 000 YouTube hits - the most-viewed South African rock song ever. “Jekyll & Hyde”, unleashed in 2010, was mixed in Los Angeles by Kevin Shirley. New York-based Sterling Sound master-

Since they first burst out of Witbank some 11 years ago, Prime Circle’s career has been an inspiration that has spawned hundreds of garage bands across South Africa, with starry-eyed young rockers hoping that one day, they might make it big the way Ross Learmonth, Dirk Bisschoff, Marco Gomes, Neil Breytenbach and Dale Schnettler did. Their 2003 debut, “Hello Crazy World”, rocketed to gold status in South Africa, with “Live This Life” (their 2005 follow-up following suit). Singles such as “Hello”,

Bemind en bekroon is die stempel waarmee die platinumsterre spog. Saam is hulle kookwater, dinamiet en smeulend. Met die ritme van musiek wat pols, klanke wat bekoor en lirieke wat jou hart en lyf verlei, bied hierdie vier supersterre op hul kwartetdebuut veertien pronksnitte, gestempel met lewenslus, balladejuwele én dansvloervreugdes.

noticed and he opened stages for big names in the industry like Dozi and Theuns Jordaan for a year. After school he performed at a hectic pace of 65 shows in six months, most of which where at music festivals. After a visit to London in the United Kingdom he returned to South Africa as the Storyteller. Well known Afrikaans singer Lucas Maree, whom he admired for his deepness and storytelling songs, remains his all time favourite artist and he loves the group, U2 for the passion they have in

ing engineer George Marino laid the final touches. The first two singles from the album “Breathing” and “Turning in My Sleep” were each nominated for the SAMA for MTN Record of the Year in 2011. In March 2011, Prime Circle won the Best International Breakthrough Act at the MK Awards. The band released their fifth studio album, “Evidence” in September 2012 and a sixth recently. Prime Circle consists of Ross Learmonth (vocals and guitar); Marco Gomes (bass); Dale Schnettler (drums); Neil Breytenbach (keyboard) and Dirk Bisschoff (guitar). their music shows. His favourite Maree song, Lisa se klavier is his all-time favourite and he loves including the song in his shows. A perfectionist when it comes to his music confessed that his most embarrassing moment had been a broken string while performing on stage. Louwrens advises young singers to stay true to themselves and stick to what they know. He believes the most important thing is to be unique and satisfy your audience in that way.

Dié trefferresep is die resultaat van gewilde wêreldmelodieë met markgerigte Afrikaanse aanpassings en ‘n klomp vernuftige oorspronklike Afrikaanse komposisies uit die pen van Fredi Nest, Elizma Theron, MoniQue, Niel Schoombee, Don Kelly, Marc Brendon, Sean Butler, Werner Beukes en Jomari Greyling. Dit is volwasse kontemporêre musiek met ‘n moderne popklankgevoel en ‘n aangename countrysoom. Die kunstenaars se vokale vaardighede en genreveelsydigheid verseker ‘n gehalte-album wat ‘n natuurlike uitvloeisel van hul individuele solo-aanslag is en sal hul bewonderaars almal gelukkig hou.

Snotkop

Al sy albums is ‘n unieke lewensreis tot waar Francois Henning, beter bekend as Snotkop, homself vandag bevind. Van kleins af droom hy van ‘n lewe op die verhoog met ‘n mikrofoon in die hand. Met harde werk en geloof het hy dit reggekry om vandag een van Suid-Afrika se topverkopers in die musiekbedryf te wees. Sy groot deurbraak het in 2002 gekom toe hy sy eerste platekontrak

losgeslaan het as die land se eerste wit kwaitoster onder die naam Lekgoa wat onmiddellik ‘n wegholsukses was. Die volgende vyf jaar het hy tussen duisende gillende aanhangers vanaf Soweto tot in Botswana spandeer. Hy het ook ‘n baie suksesvolle toer in Frankryk en London saam met van die land se grootste name soos Soul Brothers en Mahotella Queens voltooi en het in die suide van Frankryk op dieselfde verhoog as Johnny Clegg opgetree. CNN het onmiddellik be-

langgestel in die unieke kunstenaar met die onkeerbare energie op die verhoog en het ‘n dokumentêr geskiet oor sy interessante lewe en loopbaan wat reg oor die wêreld uitgesaai is. Van die vyf Snotkop-vrystellings is vier albums vir Sama-toekennings vir beste Afrikaanse popalbums benoem. Hy spog ook met nie minder as nege eerbewyse nie, onder meer MK-, Tempo- en Vonk- toekennings en in 2012 het Ek laaik van Jol met die Sama vir beste sokkie dansalbum weggestap.

he recently launched Lephalale Enterprise Development Centre will benefit black owned small businesses and entrepreneurs within the region. The opening of the centre was attended by Charles Sekoati, MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (Ledet), Phuti Manyele, Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

of Shanduka Black Umbrellas Group, Stephen Moore CEO of Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Africa, Mongezi Veti, Exxaro Executive committee member and General Manager for Safety, Health, Environment and Community and Hlonela Lupuwana, Managing Director of Anglo American Zimela.

Fund run by Anglo American’s enterprise development arm, Zimele; Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Africa (MHPSA) and Exxaro. The partners have combined their respective strengths, expertise and resources to provide assistance and support to small, medium and micro-sized enterprises (SMMEs) that are more than 51% black owned with SBU focusing on businesses that are 100% black owned. Lephalale Economic Development Centre is the eighth incubator in the country and will provide subsidised infrastructural support, ongoing mentoring and training to 100% black owned businesses. MHPSA and the Sebenza Fund are providing equity finance, loans and mentorship to support start-ups or expanding businesses referred to the hub. Exxaro (Grootegeluk Mine) will provide enterprise and supplier development opportunities within its supply chain to suppliers that are more than 51% black owned. Mahanyele was quoted saying: “This centre brings together a number of capable organisations, each with a proven track record of contributing to economic and social development. Working together, we can make an impact far beyond what they could achieve individually. This is a principle that we have embraced as SBU. Our fundamental purpose is to collaborate with partners in the private sector, government and civil society to address the low levels of entrepreneurship and high failure rate of 100% black owned emerging businesses in South Africa.” “MHPSA envisages a thriving future for Lephalale that goes beyond the Medupi Power Station project. The Enterprise Development Centre is a small yet significant way in which we are able to ensure sustainability within the community after the completion of the power station,” Moore is quoted to have said. According to Moore they look forward to providing more support and improved facilities for the community for many years to come, while the new, more central location will allow entrepreneurs easier access to these opportunities.

Bakone Malapa part of SA heritage >> Shows life as it was 250 years ago >> Rich cultural heritage maintained BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

The rich culture and warm hospitality of the Northern Sotho people can be experienced at the Bakone Malapa Open Air Museum just outside Polokwane on the Chuenespoort road (R37). The Bakone is a sub-group of the Northern Sotho cultural group and the aim of the museum is to introduce visitors to the contemporary customs and traditional ways of life that prevailed many years ago. The village has been reconstructed in a style typical of about 250 years ago. Managed and operated by Northern Sotho people who work in the village, the centre offers a warm and authentic welcome from people happy to share their current, as well as historic way of life, with visitors. The organised tour of the Bakone Malapa Museum starts with a visit to an area depicting

the modern ways of a Northern Sotho family. Two traditional homesteads accommodate exhibits that explain much of the Northern Sotho’s history and in the traditional huts, the separate thatched brick and mortar bedroom, kitchen and living room provide insight in the domestic past. Floors are still maintained with a mixture made of mud and cow dung, as they have been for hundreds of years. Sotho men demonstrate cultural dances, wood craft, leather works and older ways of indigenous fire making, how beer is brewed and how maize is ground. Handcraft demonstrations such as woodcarving, pottery, basketry and beadwork by women are part of the entertainment and locally produced crafts are on sale at the curio shop at reasonable prices. Tours are conducted at set times throughout the day. The tour guides are skilled in the African tradition of storytelling and answer questions about the cultural aspects of the life of the Northern Sotho people. The cultural landscape also has a bird sanctuary, hiking trails and outdoor recreational areas such as braai facilities. Further information can be obtained from the museum on 015 290 2540 or 015 290 2182.

Propvol naweekprogram vir Mej Limpopo Tiener YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com

ej Limpopo Tiener, Tiané Ströh het ‘n besige naweekprogram propvol opwinding agter die rug wat rondom ‘n verskyning op die loopplank tydens Meropa Casino & Entertainment World se bruidskou Saterdag en interaksie met inwoners van tehuise, wat Sondag deur Pietersburg Vryburgers op ‘n rit deur die wildtuin getrakteer is, gesentreer het. By Meropa Casino & Entertainment World het sy tyd afgeknyp vir ‘n fotosessie met Polokwane Observer, Mej Limpopo se mediaborg, en koppe laat draai in ‘n ontwerp van Erika Mengouchi. Só het die vyfjarige Samson Nkoana van Zebediela tydens ‘n gesinsuitstappie Saterdagmiddag die geleentheid aangegryp om saam met haar vir die kamera te poseer voordat Tiané haar verskyning op die loopplank gemaak het tydens ‘n modevertoning as deel van Meropa Casino & Entertainment World se jaarlikse bruidskouprogram. Me Felicia Mphahlele, verkoops- en bemarkingsbestuurder vir Headline Leisure Management by Meropa Casino & Entertainment World sê dit is die tweede keer wat hulle die bruidskou aanbied. Verlede jaar het hulle die geleentheid in September gehad, maar het vanjaar se uitstalling vroeër gehou om voornemende bruide genoeg tyd te gun om hul troues vooraf te beplan. In die toekoms wil hulle poog om dit ‘n jaarlikse gebeurtenis te maak wat in April of Mei aangebied word, het sy bygevoeg. Sy het verwys na ‘n lys uitstallers wat ontwerpers, geleentheidsbeplanners, verskaffers van troukoeke, verhuurders van meubels en bykomstighede, hare- en grimeerkunstenaars, naeltegnici en spa’s ingesluit het en wat die geleentheid gehad het om hul dienste te

bemark. Volgens haar is Meropa Casino & Entertainment World ook geskik vir troues en bied die perfekte agtergrond vir die neem van troufoto’s. Die volgende oggend was Tiané reeds vroeg weer op haar pos om snoesige serpe uit te deel aan inwoners van Bella Vista Tehuis en Jo-Anne’s Rusoord met hul vertrek op ‘n besigtigingstoer deur Polokwane Natuurreservaat en middagete by die lapa in die wildtuin. Volgens Aggie Ströh, stuurman van Pietersburg Vryburgers en Tiané se pa, is die uitreik die eerste vir die jaar wat deel vorm van hul aksies wat geldelike bystand verskaf aan skole en instansies vir bejaardes om te help om die nood van inwoners aan te spreek. Ströh het daarop gewys dat Pietersburg Vryburgers verlede jaar vleis en groente aan Bella Vista Tehuis en ander instansies verskaf het. Die plaaslike Vryburgers bestaan uit sowat 20 lede en het geen politieke affiliasie nie, het hy verduidelik. Hy sê dat dit vir hom lekker is om sy dogter by die liefdadigheidswerk waarby hy betrokke is te betrek omdat dit haar kans gee om haar Mej Limpopo Tiener-droom uit te leef. Vir haar was dit net so lekker om so iets saam met haar pa aan te pak, het Tiané aangedui. Pietersburg Vryburgers beplan weer hul jaarlikse wynveiling vir 4 September vanjaar en nooi die publiek uit om deel van die fondsinsameling te wees. Hulle verkoop nagenoeg 2 000 bottels wyn, ‘n skenking van Robertson Vryburgers, waarmee geld ingewin word wat deur die jaar aan skole en ouetehuise uitgedeel word. Die volgende groot aktiwiteit op Tiané se program is ‘n voorgenome Jeugdag-besoek aan ‘n kegelbaan vir kinders na wie die Polokwane Kinder-en Gesinsorgvereniging omsien.

Bo: Na die besigtigingstoer deur die Polokwane Natuurreservaat is daar saam gekuier by die lapa. Regs: Vryburger Dawid van der Walt in gesprek met ‘n gas.

The VBE programme commenced with serious blues and big band hits like Stone Valley Blues, Sachsen Boogie and Glen Miller’s masterpiece, In the Mood. The programme also included African Jazz items like Ten Ten Special, Mama Thembu’s Wedding from the Iphi’ntombi musical and Meriam Makeba’s world famous Pata Pata. Some of the audience could not help but to dance at disco hits and other popular idioms like the Bee Gees’ Stay-

ing Alive and Night Fever, as well as Smokey Robinson’s Get Ready. Pastor Nathan Titus, first trumpeter in VBE, also serenaded the audience with vocal renditions including Josh Groban’s You Raise me Up and Barry Manilow’s I Write the Songs. The show ended with The Manhattans’ Kiss and Say Goodbye, leaving the audience asking for more. Municipal ward councillor Lois Hardy gave a fraternal message on behalf of Polokwane Executive Mayor, Freddy Greaver. She congratulated VBE, who also trains staff for the Limpopo Wind Band Association, for giving about 300 students the opportunity to also make music. MGM Motors’ representative and Sales Manager at Volvo Polokwane, Dirk Markgraaff, told the patrons that the MGM group regarded the VBE concert as a worthwhile project to support, so as to nurture music development in Limpopo. Pastor Nathan Titus, also attached to the MGM group, indicated to the patrons that they would get VBE services for free during their private functions if they bought certain vehicles from the MGM group. The concert was the first in a series of fund raising events that the VBE will be embarking on, with the view to accumulate revenue towards covering the costs of their oncoming tour to Germany in August 2014. Members of the public, business and corporate communities wishing to support this worthy cause, may contact VBE Communications Manager Alf Malete on 079 446 8234 or Marketing Manager Pastor Nathan Titus on 076 272 4182.

PHS wys staal teen Groblersdal RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) is bekend vir sy uitsonderlike hokkieprestasies en het verlede Woensdag opnuut gewys hoekom hul teenstanders op hul hoede moet wees wanneer teen hulle kragte gemeet word. PHS se spanne het al die Groblersdal Academy-spanne afgestof. Die o.15-, o.16- en tweede span van PHS wen elk met een doel teenoor nul van Groblersdal. Die eerste span se goeie spelpatroon en samespel word met ‘n sege van ‘n 2-1 sege beloon.

Honours were evenly shared at the PEPPS College/Hoërskool Noorderland Sports Day that was hosted by PEPPS on Saturday.

On the chess board the games were shared three-all and both PEPPS teams won the debating competition. Noorderland came out on top in the netball with the u.14B, u.15B, u.17 and u.18 teams winning by 15-7, 34-6, 29-9 and 34-19 respectively. The match between the u.15A teams ended in a 10-all draw while the PEPPS u.14A netball team triumphed 23-8. The spoils were shared rather evenly on the football field with the u.15s drawing 2-2, Noorderland winning the second team clash 2-1 and PEPPS winning the encounter between the first teams 7-2. On the hockey field the PEPPS first team boys won 2-1, the contest between the u.15 girls ended 1-1, the PEPPS u.16 girls lost 0-4 and the PEPPS first girls team scored a hardearned 3-2 victory.

The one day race over four stages is contested over a 175 km scenic route in the Soutspanberg Mountains and is expected to again draw in excess of 2 000 entries this year. LTA Spokesperson Mike Tauatsoala explained that the challenging route is ideal for the adventurous biker. There is however also a kiddies route allowing the whole family to engage in a single activity. “This is in line with what LTA showcased at this year’s Tourism Indaba in Durban. Some of the special interest features in the province that seeks to create awareness about various offerings including adventure activities like mountain biking given the province’s topography, which makes it suitable terrain for such activities,” Tauatsoala said. “Last year we attracted well over 2 000 cyclists who participated in the various races in Makhado reporting full occupancy in the accommodation sector for that weekend. We hope our

partnership will boost the numbers compared to last year,” Tauatsoala added. He also mentioned that the acting LTA Chief Executive Officer, Seipati Tlaka together with PPC Cement and other stakeholders will conduct a Robot Blitz sched-

uled to take place at the corner of Songodzwi and the N1 main road in Makhado on 30 May. “The Blitz is aimed at creating awareness about the race and we will be giving out pamphlets and marketing merchandise,” Tauatsoala said.

mitted to do everything in their power to ensure that they win gold in both the women and men’s divisions respectively,” Lebea said.

Cappie gymnast aims for Finland

KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com

n the heart of Westenburg’s RDP extension a surprising discovery awaits in the form of a talented fourteen-year-old gymnast who, despite her constant breathtaking performances has only been a participant in the world of gymnastics for the past two years. Khomotso Marokane, a Grade 8 learner from Capricorn High School and member of Zanis Gymnastics Academy joined the world of gymnastics a mere two years ago and is already making headlines due to her swift progress, natural ability and yearning to make a success of whatever she puts her mind to. “I always wanted to start doing gymnastics at a much younger age but resources never permitted it then,” said Khomotso who is now a Level 2 gymnast training under experienced coach and owner of Zanis, Zani Prinsloo. Sparkling and bubbly are two words that can easily be used to describe this young gymnast who says the reason she has excelled in gymnastics is due to her natural talent and the fact that she sees gymnastics as less of a sport that orders dedication and practice only and just as much a hobby that is fun and easy thanks to her natural talent. Khomtso proved her natural aptitude in the world of gymnastics by bringing home two gold medals during the recent Club South Africa Championships held at Wits University in Johannesburg from 9 to 10 May. She com-

peted in both the hoop and the ball events and was awarded a total score of 23.50 for the two events enabling her to return home with the medals which her mother will now be displaying proudly on their family room’s mantel. Khomotso said all of the gymnasts who attended the championships did extremely well and enabled Zanis to also return home with two gold medals for Overall Performance and for being awarded the Team Trophy of the championship. What makes her achievements so much more exciting is that she stands a chance of joining her fellow gymnasts in Finland next year, after only two years of practicing the sport. Khomotso stands the chance of qualifying to take part in the World Gymnaestrada Championships 2015 which will next year to be held in Helsinki, Finland, from 12 to 18 July. The cost attached to the invitation is around R30 000 per gymnast. The event is held every four years and sees gymnasts between the ages of three and 90 taking part in event with exciting venues that include Messukeskus, the Expo and Convention Centre in Helsinki, the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, the Helsinki Ice Hall and the Töölö Sports Hall. Zani Prinsloo, head coach at Zanis says Khomotso is one of her most

>> After only two years as a gymnast she is already making waves >> Resources were scarce forcing Khomotso to only start gymnastics at the age of 12

talented gymnasts and is currently serving as the team captain in her level. “She is a hardworking and determined individual who has what it takes to go far in the world of gymnastics. Her ability to master gymnastic disciplines has put her in a very good stead when it comes to competitions, be it local, national or international,” Prinsloo concluded.
