Ruled by rot YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com A widowed mother of six is among a host of Luthuli Park residents who have raised alarm over a land crisis in sections of the settlement that led to the institution of more than a handful of cases with the Public Protector. Since last month a reported seven cases have been registered with the Public Protector by residents of Luthuli Park’s Sections 9G and

9L who are concerned about a host of matters, including occupation of sites they have inhabited for many years but which they were seemingly not entitled to own. This came to the fore during a joint interview with individuals who shared their stories with Polokwane Observer, speaking in unison of anger building up over having been left to their own devices in the fight for a place they could permanently call home. Their discontent mostly relates to housing problems relating to occupation of sites where people are living in shacks as well as RDP houses, To page 2

From page 1 but further extends to an issue pertaining to registration for consideration for temporary job creation opportunities by Polokwane Municipality. The mother of six, who did not want to be named, provided a document as confirmation of residence issued on 13 July 2009 and signed by a Councillor MM Peta. At the same time she produced a letter from the municipality dated 29 July 2010 which stated that after a verification process by a task team investigating and resolving on site problems at Section 9G under the supervision of community elected representatives consisting of the ward councillor and committee members, her site was not allocated to anyone in terms of the National Housing Subsidy System. “In resolution of challenges highlighted in the Task Team report, the Municipality as the sole owner of the site, took a decision to allocate the site to Ms MR Majwe.” She was hence instructed to remove her personal belongings and vacate the property on or before 10 August 2010. She further stressed that she was informed by an official of Polokwane Municipality in 2010 that the site belonged to a certain Majwe, who in turn told her he bought the site from the official, a ward committee member and an excouncillor for R130 000 on 28 February 2010. To date she was still residing on the same stand, she confirmed. The concerned individuals further alleged maladministration with regards to the selection of the same few community members whose names seemingly appear on a municipal database – being selected for waste management and sports creation duties by Polokwane Municipality while not everybody got the opportunity to be temporarily employed on such municipal projects. According to them the ward councillor, Steve Mashabela, was responsible for rotating names on the list of temporary job seekers to repeatedly give the same people temporary job opportunities, while the others went by unnoticed. The same councillor has reportedly said he was responsible for deciding who should get work, they stressed. “The councillor is our employer in the ward. He says no one can tell him who to employ. He only helps his own people,” one of them exclaimed. Among the group was Rebecca Phago, whose problem was twofold. She registered a case with the Public Protector after appar-

ently being alerted to the fact that she could not apply for water and electricity connections to her site in Section 9G as it was seemingly promised to another family. In 2010 she was informed by former ward councillor Melitha Peta that she did not belong on the site to which she was relocated in 2001, she related. Phago said she was told she got a site at Hospital View, but upon investigation discovered a family already staying on her stand. She recalled the occupants of the stand telling her that the site had been given to them by the ward committee in that area. She wanted to raise the issue with Mashabela and the concerned parties in February this year, but was told they were busy with the runup to the general elections. Phago indicated she attempted to solve it again with Mashabela “but he couldn’t entertain it”. She said she went to ward committee member Comford Seopa but to no avail and was sent from pillar to post. Phago concluded saying she was still occupying the stand in Section 9G. She said she had also registered on the municipal database in 2010 already without ever having been given temporary work. Joining the group of complainants was a community representative, Rufus Mokgehle who was in possession of a list containing information of 25 houses illegally occupied in Luthuli Park which was compiled in January this year and was allegedly reflective of the prevailing situation in the settlement. He explained the sites were not occupied by the owners against whose names the stands were registered. Mokgehle further claimed that water meters were not connected despite some of the houses being supplied with water while electricity connections have allegedly been done in the past in exchange for a fee to contract workers in the area. Mokgehle simultaneously referred to the matter of someone who lived in Zone 1 in Seshego but was the legal owner of a stand in Section 9L in Luthuli Park. He had received a call from the site owner on Tuesday morning during which the man informed him he had been requesting the Police since 2005 for assistance to have the occupants of his stand removed, but to no avail. “It is a free for all. The situation must be rectified,” he stressed. Comment from Polokwane Municipality’s Communications and Marketing Manager

Tidimalo Chuene is as follows: “We note that the issues presented in the enquiry are already presented to the Office of the Public Protector and that we wish to respect that process to unfold undisturbed. The municipality will fully cooperate with the Public Protector’s Office once we receive correspondence from them. Any allegations against a councillor should be reported to the Speaker of Council who will then be guided by legislation to conduct investigations against the allegations for the municipality to take appropriate measures. Council has proper structures like the Ethics Committee that can investigate conduct of councillors. Polokwane Municipality collects temporary employment database through assistance of the ward councillor and his/her committee. We further employ temporary employees based on the database as they follow each numerically through the assistance of the ward councillor and his committee. The database is managed from the HR (Human Resources) section. From the electrical and water management point we need to be furnished with details of the properties that have alleged illegal connections so that we can investigate. We encourage members of the public to report such issues to the municipality to ensure that investigations are conducted and that appropriate measures are taken. Issues of fraud and corruption can be reported to the Police or any state law enforcement agency or report such to the municipality’s anonymous anti-fraud hotline on 080 020 5053.” Confirmation is still awaited from the Public Protector in Limpopo.

Lourens sê inwoners het ook hul kommer oor ander padgebruikers se veiligheid uitgespreek omdat partytjiegangers teen hoë snelhede by die perseel uitjaag en wiele tol. Polokwane Observer het van ‘n betroubare bron en lid van die regiment verneem dat alle partytjies intussen reeds gestop is. “Die lapa word ook aan buite-instansies verhuur en die regiment het reeds alle deposito’s aan toekomstige huurders terugbetaal. Ek kan die publiek verseker dat partytjies iets van die verlede is,” sê hy. Mphohone sê hy is bewus van die probleme tydens partytjies. “Sodra mense dronk word, vergeet hulle van ‘n etiese kode en dat hulle ‘n voorbeeld van goeie dissipline moet wees. Geen partytjies sal meer na-ure gehou word nie. Die besluit is geneem om te verseker dat persone wat die lapa huur nie die rus verstoor nie en om voorsorg te tref dat reserwemaglede nie die sisteem manipuleer nie,” sê Mphohone. Hy sê hy is bly dat die probleem aange spreek en opgelos is en het om verskoning vir die ongerief gevra.

All systems in place for final Grade 12 exams >> Learners affected by recent protests accommodated >> A total of 93 215 matrics catered for WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

he Department of Education said everything is in place for learners that will start their final exams for their National Senior Certificate on Monday. This after the Democratic Alliance (DA) requested MEC for Education, Thembisile Nwedamutswu to urgently intervene in protest action that led to the closure of several schools around Sebayeng and Solomondale the past few days. Protesting community members allegedly prevented learners from the Mapotho, Solomondale and Sebayeng primary schools and Mafolofolo and Leruleng Secondary schools from attending classes last week and on Monday. A media statement released by the DA on Monday indicated the party’s deep

concern that learners in Grade 12 in the affected schools will not be able to write their final exams. The DA requested Nwedamutswu to urgently arrange alternative plans to accommodate the matric learners from the area. The media statement continued that the provincial government does not seem to have a plan to prevent the outbreak of violent protests disrupting Grade 12 and other exams. Department of Education Spokesperson, Paena Galane said Grade 12 learners from the affected areas should experience no disruptions when the exams officially start on Monday as community leaders have assured the department that the learners would be allowed to write. Galane confirmed that no learners in the Sebayeng and Solomondale areas attended school last week as a result of the unrest. He went on to say that 73 542 full-time Grade 12s and 19 673 part-time learners are registered to write their final examinations at 1 706 examination centres in the province. “The department would like to assure all Grade 12s in Limpopo that all systems and personnel are ready when the examinations officially start on Monday.”

Slim vang sy baas tydens Clover rooftog RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Twee vermeende rowers, wat ’n vragmotorbestuurder van Clover Polokwane insluit, is verlede Donderdag na ‘n gewapende rooftog by die plaaslike fabriek in Ladine gearresteer. Volgens Westenburg polisiewoordvoerder, Mohlaka Mashiane kon die polisie deur hul ondersoek vasstel dat die vragmotorbestuurder glo sy vriende ingelig het dat hy die betrokke dag sy normale roete na Venda sou doen en gewoonlik met groot hoeveelhede kontant terugkeer. “Die bestuurder en sy vriende was vermoedelik kop in een mus en wou die voorval na ‘n gewapende rooftog laat lyk. “Volgens inligting sou die bestuurder ongeveer 19:00 terug in die stad gewees het, maar het eers teen 21:00 opgedaag.

die bestuurder se vriende hom as gewapende rowers genader en gedwing om die valkluis oop te sluit. Ons vermoed die sleutel of kode vir die valkluis is vooraf bekom,” sê Mashiane. Die sekuriteitsbeampte het gesien wat gebeur en die vragmotor genader waarna die rowers gevlug het. “Een van die booswigte is in die proses deur ‘n verbygaande motor getref waarna die polisie hom gearresteer het sowel as die vragmotorbestuurder,” sê Mashiane. Beide het reeds Maandag in die Polokwane Landdroshof op aanklagte van gewapende roof verskyn. Hy kon nie hul name bekend maak nie, maar gesê dat hulle borgtog geweier is en later verskyn. Clover Polokwane het navrae na Clover se hoofkantoor in Johannesburg verwys. Steven Veldhuysen, skakelbeampte het nie op navrae reageer nie.

Leeus maai onder boere in Alldays se beeste NEWS

>> Twaalf beeste reeds afgemaai >> Departement sal moontlik permit uitreik om leeus van kant te maak RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

“Niemand wil ‘n hand opsteek en verantwoordelikheid vir die rondloperleeus aanvaar nie, terwyl ons byna daagliks beeste en wild verloor en plaaswerkers in vrees hul dagtake moet verrig.” So sê Sakkie Joubert, ‘n beesboer en plaaseienaar van die Alldays-omgewing waar ‘n trop van ongeveer 11 rondloperleeus reeds ses beeste en twee kalwers afgemaai het. “Ons het gereeld spore van die groot katte op verskeie plase in die omgewing gekry en dit wil voorkom of die trop verdeel het omdat daar nou spore van slegs twee en vier leeus onderskeidelik gevind word. Van die leeus is ook al gewaar,” sê Joubert. Hy het gister (Woendag) gesê sy buurman het hom laat weet dat duidelike leeuspore en lêmerke opgemerk is waar die leeus die vorige aand in sy beeskraal geslaap het. “Daar is bewerings dat twee van die leeus

glo al geskiet is en dit is die laaste ding wat ons wil hê. Dit is pragtige diere en die een mannetjie is baie oud. Ek het hom gesien en dit is ‘n massiewe dier. Ek vermoed dit is hy wat aan een van my beeskarkasse getorring het omdat hy nie die vel kon penetreer nie en slegs aan die koei se lieste en uier gevreet het,” sê Joubert. Boere het al met lede van natuurbewaring gepraat, maar dit wil voorkom of Limpop ekonomiese ontwikkeling, omgewing en toerisme (Ledet) se hande afgekap is. ‘n Betroubare bron het gesê die departement het nie die geld om die leeus te vang en te verwyder nie. “Ons het nog geen formele klagte ontvang nie, maar is bewus daarvan dat ongeveer 12 beeste reeds deur die leeus op verskeie plase in die omgewing uitgewis is. Dit is vermoedelik die laaste trop van die Afrika vrylopende leeus met ‘n goeie genepoel wat uit Botswana kom wat die proses om die leeus van kant te maak verder bemoeilik,” sê die bron. Hy sê die departement wil ook nie die leeus doodskiet nie. Ons verstaan die boere se frustrasie met die verliese. As dit op die punt kom waar boere te veel skade lei, sal daar moontlik permitte uitgereik word om hulle van kant te maak. Ledet se skakelbeampte, Burckels Napo was onbewus van die leeus. Hy het die kontakbesonderhede van die boere gevra en belowe om die inligting so gou moontlik na die betrokke lede te stuur om die probleem aan te spreek.

Water levels very low at some reservoirs BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Although there had been an increase in the levels of some of the reservoirs providing water to the city, residents are still urged to continue to use water sparingly in anticipation of the rain season. The latest report by the Polokwane Municipality stated that on Tuesday the 50 mega litre reservoir stood at 50% (25%) while the new 30 mega litre reservoir held 54% (38%) of its

capacity. The reservoir in Potgieter Avenue contained 90% (89%) of its capacity while the main reservoir in Seshego measured at 61% (72%). The reservoir in Extension 34 stands at 95% (95%). The figures between brackets reflect the previous week’s levels. According to Tidimalo Chuene, Manager: Communications and Marketing of the municipality the 50 mega and 30 mega litre reservoirs saw an increase averaging 20% while all the others are steady.

Department warns against bogus circular BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com A bogus circular advertising positions in the Limpopo traffic department, is circulating in the province. Mafenya Lediga, Department of Transport, Safety, Security and Liaison Spokesperson stated that the circular was not released by the department. “We distance ourselves from it. There are faceless people masquerading as departmental human resource personnel using our departmental letterhead illegally. We want to appeal to our people to ignore the circular because it is not an official advertisement

of the department,” Lediga said in a media release. The statement further informed that the department is currently training 250 traffic learners who will graduate in March 2015. The process of recruiting another group will follow later and as for now no vacancies for traffic learnerships exist in the department. “Our departmental anti-fraud unit is currently investigating this matter. The Department is calling for everyone who might have information regarding this matter to come forward,” the statement concluded. Lediga can be contacted on 079 833 6125 or 078 507 1670.

No link to Mthembu shooting yet RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Provincial Police Spokesperson in Mpumalanga, Selvy Mohlala yesterday (Wednesday) confirmed that no link has yet been established between three men arrested in Tzaneen on Monday and the shooting of African National Congress (ANC) Member of Parliament Jackson Mthembu during an armed robbery in eMalahleni (Witbank) at the weekend. Mohlala stated that Police are still interrogating the three men who were arrested for possession of suspected stolen property which included a laptop, cell phones and bank cards. “It is alleged that Mthembu was drawing

money from an automatic teller machine in Mandela Street, eMalahleni on Sunday evening when an armed robber approached him and demanded that he withdraw all his money. “Mthembu and the armed robber allegedly got into a fight during which a shot went off and Mthembu was wounded in the cheek,” Mohlala said. He said the alleged robber and his three accomplices then also robbed four of Mthembu’s friends who were waiting in a car. They allegedly stole their money and cell phones. Mthembu drove himself to the eMalahleni Private Hospital where he is still recuperating in the Intensive Care Unit.

Sassa vows to investigate illegal deductions

WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

inister of Social Development, Bathabile Dlamini has committed her department and the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) to investigating allegations of ongoing unauthorised deductions from grants received by beneficiaries of the agency on which Polokwane Observer reported last week. The commitment was given during the Department of Social Development (DSD) committee meeting attended by Dlamini, the Sassa Chief Executive Officer, Virginia Peterson and Democratic Alliance (DA) Shadow Minister of Social Security, Lindy Wilson in Cape Town last Wednesday. This after the DA requested a thorough explanation from the DSD pertaining illegal recurring deductions from elderly residents in Limpopo for airtime and other vouchers that had been taking place for over a year. After the meeting Peterson vowed to probe the issue as a matter of urgency and added that in recent months more than 200 Sassa employees were suspended pending investigations into grant fraud. She stated that not all the illegal deductions from Sassa grants were the result of corrupt employees, but many were also because of corrupt service providers. Extensive investigations into the illegal deductions are said to be taking place on a daily basis, according to Wilson. The Sassa investigation team, who were also present at the meeting, requested copies of all evidence of fraud raised by the DA and this evidence has now been submitted, Wilson said on Tuesday. Dlamini expressed her concern about the fraud and evidence submitted during the meeting and promised that every effort is being made to resolve these issues and bring the culprits to book. Meanwhile, the DA will continue to monitor the situation and visit Sassa pay points to establish that action has been taken and illegal deductions come to an end. Sassa National Spokesperson, Kgomoco Diseko confirmed that a portfolio committee meeting of the DSD consisting of different political parties was held last week in Cape Town to discuss the department’s annual report. “Among other issues discussed was the matter of grant deductions which came as a question from the opposition parties. The committee was informed that Minister Dlamini appointed a ministerial committee to investigate the nature and source of these deductions and to provide recommendations,” Diseko elaborated. He continued that beneficiaries who encounter unauthorised deductions are advised to contact their nearest Sassa office or call 0800 60 10 11 so that an investigation can be done.

CDM hosts Fire Week for communities

Fire fighters of Working on Fire (WoF) conduct a demonstration during Fire Week activities at Ga-Makgato Kromhoek.

>> R3,9 million to empower communities BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

apricorn District Municipality (CDM) recently educated communities at Ga-Makgatho Kromhoek in Aganang about fire, its dangers and how disasters can be avoided. The awareness campaign was held as part of commemorating International Fire Week. The municipality brought together communities and NGOs to build their resilience and showcase CDM’s disaster risk reduction interventions. Speaking on behalf of the Executive Mayor, Councillor Blanco Boloka said it is important for everyone to understand the impact of fires to the environment. “By nature and degree, veld fires do not respect property and neither do they respect boundaries. If they rage uncontrolled, they end up causing the eco-system to suffer the loss of endangered species. Some even migrate to a better biodiversity when fires occur”. Boloka said that anyone owning land or

property has the first responsibility to control fires on his or her own land. “But when fires burn in severe conditions they quickly extend beyond any one property, and become a problem that cannot be handled by individuals alone,” he explained. CDM takes the risk factors of fire very seriously and is making significant strides to prevent and mitigate the occurrence of fires. It is therefore the most coherent force in fire-fighting and currently boasts a massive number of fire fighters across all local municipalities in the district. These teams are on stand-by 24 hours and they are forever ready and on high-alert to attend to any reported emergency. “In further enhancing the district’s capacity to deal with disasters, the municipality has for this financial year put aside a contribution of R3,9 million to empower communities, reduce their vulnerability by establishing structures and programmes that will prevent disasters from occurring from fires and minimise their impact. The budget will also help make significant progress in the establishment of a fire station in Aganang of which construction is currently well underway. Once this new fire station is complete, CDM will have functional fire stations in all its local municipalities. The district is also reinvigorating its fire-fighting strength by recruiting more fire fighters this quarter,” Boloka reportedly said. A Kromhoek resident, Kobela Lephalala who was once a victim of a fire related disaster, said she is pleased that CDM provides humanitarian support to victims of disaster. after every reported emergency. “The district dispatches a team of fire fighters and disaster officials to fight the fire, save what is left, do assessment, provide temporary shelter and food parcels and rehabilitate damaged facilities,” she said. Communities are requested to report any fire or emergency by dialling the toll free number 0800 666 777.

Provincial government signs R38 billion project to create jobs Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za The Provincial government has entered into a memorandum of understanding (Mou) with Hongkong Mining Exchange Company (Hoi Moi) to invest in a metallurgical project worth R38 billion in Musina. The project is envisaged to create about 19 000 permanent job opportunities in the province. Provincial Spokesperson, Phuti Seloba said this will go a long way in strengthening the provincial government’s drive to fight poverty and unemployment in the province. “Premier Stan Mathabatha is delighted that our mission has started yielding fruit and it is very exciting that the Limpopo brand has recovered and that a number of investors have confidence in investing in the province,” Seloba told Polokwane Observer from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) yesterday (Wednesday). Mathabatha, accompanied by MECs Seaparo Sekoati of Economic Development and Tourism and Joyce Matshoge of Agriculture and Rural Development, is at present leading a

delegation to the PRC and is expected back in the province on 30 October. Seloba said: “The aim of the visit is to explore investment and trade relations between the Provincial Government and the Henan and Anhui provinces. This follows the announcement made by President Jacob Zuma and his counterpart, PRC President Xi Jinping declaring 2014 as South Africa Year in China and 2015 as Chinese Year in South Africa. It is envisaged that South Africa Year in China should be implemented at three levels of government - national, provincial and local level. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation is coordinating the South African Year in China,” Seloba said in an earlier press statement. He confirmed that Mathabatha’s delegation also included prominent businesspersons who have links with China. The statement further read that the province will use the opportunity to gain investment opportunities within the mining, agricultural and tourism sectors while at the same time similar opportunities in Limpopo would also be brought under the hosts’ attention.

RAF pays over R152 million to crash survivors The Road Accident Fund (Raf) rolled out its suite of services during a recent outreach campaign hosted in four provinces concurrently, and surpassed expectations by settling over R152 million’s worth of claims in the four provinces on that particular day. During the event that took place at the Giyani Community Hall, “RAF on the Road”-staff diligently kept up with the growing demand of people at the venue and assisted with enquiries and processing of claims. Linda Rulashe, Senior Manager: Media and Public Relations of the Raf says that over 5 800 claimants had heeded the call to come directly to the fund and save on expensive contingency fees because they were able to register new claims, make enquiries and settle their claims, while those who were ripped-off by unscrupulous attorneys had the opportunity to report fraudulent activities. Rulashe quoted Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters to have said: “This initiative provides access to road accident victims, who would otherwise not have the opportunity

to interact face-to-face with Raf consultants without travelling long distances to the nearest regional offices. The Raf seeks, among others, things to offset the financial burden that results from car crashes, which often creates widows, orphans and child-headed households. The socio-graphics of our country are such that the poorest of the poor are often those who are most affected by road crashes and don’t have the means to access facilities to obtain information about possible claims, medical compensation and rehabilitation opportunities offered by the Raf”. A wide range of high profile stakeholders from local and national government, traditional leaders, the taxi industry and the medical and religious fraternity voiced their support of the Raf’s outreach campaign. Most raised concerns about the number of claimants who walked away dejected yesterday after they had reported negligent lawyers who had allowed their claims to prescribe. A hundred bicycles, helmets and reflectors were handed over to learners at Tlakulani High School in Mninginisi Village near Giyani.

olokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng during a community meeting held at Mankweng Community Hall last Wednesday, announced that the Development Bank of Southern Africa has approved a loan that will cater for the rollout of services in Mankweng over two financial years and not three as initially applied for. Nkadimeng emphasised her commitment to resolve service delivery concerns in Mankweng when she visited the town in response to the public unrest demonstrated by blockage of roads earlier. Tidimalo Chuene, Communications and Marketing Manager of the municipality reported that Nkadimeng informed the community that 800 applications for indigent support had been received thus far and Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi were being processed. This Nkadimeng. Photo: Barry Viljoen will bring much needed relief to low income households and pensioners. “The municipality remains committed to addressing water billing and assessment rates concerns,” Nkadimeng is quoted to have said. The community also heard that the municipality had made progress since the last community meeting that was held on 21 August 2014. A representative of Eskom also attended the meeting and emphasised the commitment to the electrification process. Nkadimeng promised to meet with residents of Mankweng every month to ensure an easy flow of information on progress made with regard to billing concerns, electrification and other service delivery issues. Meanwhile, the Democratic Alliance (DA) requested the Speaker of Polokwane Municipality, Caiphus Mathiba, to call an urgent council meeting to debate the undertakings given by Executive Mayor, Thembi Nkadimeng to Mankweng residents in wards 25 and 26,” DA councillor David Setjie stated in a media release. Setjie claimed that Nkadimeng met with residents two months ago and promised them that 2 600 households will be electrified while the water crisis will be addressed within a short period of time but nothing has happened as yet. Recently, furious residents opted to barricade main roads with burning tyres and stones complaining about the poor services in the area. “While the DA does not condone illegal and violent actions, it is clear that people are tired of the ANC’s empty promises. Nkadimeng continues to fail residents of Mankweng despite having established a task team to address service delivery backlogs in the area,” Setjie stated. Malesela Maubane, Spokesperson of the municipality, commented as follows: “The Executive Mayor made a commitment to sort out billing and electrification challenges around Mankweng during her meeting on 21 August 2014 and said that the municipality will halt suspension of water accounts and allow residents to come through and have queried accounts reassessed. The municipality will publicise meter reading dates and asked residents to allow meter readers access to their properties to ensure correct readings. Lastly the municipality encouraged low income households to apply for indigent support where they can receive free basic electricity and water, thus lessening the financial burden of servicing accounts. Thus far 800 applications have been received and are being processed. According to Maubane, Nkadimeng explained that the municipality had received fewer funds than budgeted for and as a result a total of 24 areas had to be re-prioritised. The municipality engaged various sources for funding including the Development Bank of Southern Africa where a loan for R91 million was applied for. The municipality is still waiting for the bank and the National Treasury to approve the loan. Money from the loan will be transferred to Eskom to roll out projects. “The Executive Mayor has met with Mankweng residents on 16 and 19 October and gave progress reports on the process. The Executive Mayor’s office appreciates the cooperation and support given to her office by residents of affected areas. The municipality remains confident that the process outlined and agreed upon with residents of Mankweng will yield positive results,” Maubane concluded.

Newly elected African National Congress (ANC) Peter Mokaba Regional Chairperson Dewet Monakedi.

TRELLIDOR POLOKWANE

ewly elected African National Congress (ANC) Peter Mokaba Regional Chairperson Dewet Monakedi is adamant about ensuring vibrant, dynamic and functioning ANC branches earnestly responding to issues affecting communities to avoid unnecessary service delivery marches. Monakedi emerged the preferred candidate to lead a structure formerly under task team rule when delegates met for an elective conference this past weekend. In an interview on Saturday morning following the announcement of the names occupying the top five leadership positions within the regional structure, Monakedi told Polokwane Observer they had to further ensure the proper working of governance structures that had to appoint competent people, follow due processes and monitor service delivery performance. They would see to it that councillors were up to scratch in terms of what they were there to do, he reiterated. What had come out very clear from discussions that ensued during the conference programme was for them to need to go back to the basics, which meant making sure ANC branches functioned as envisaged, whereby it would be meeting regularly, taking up issues affecting the community, and in particular service delivery matters, and being embedded within the community, he said. “From this conference that is exactly what we are going to be doing. We are going to be focussing on making sure that we have got vibrant, dynamic, functioning ANC branches that are responding to the issues that affect our communities. We do not want to see unnecessary marches now and then. That indeed can stop for as long as we have got ANC branches that are engaging with these communities on a regular basis and whenever there are issues they making sure they are taking up those issues with our ANC

councillors instead of going to march.” It was their responsibility to intensify interaction between councillors and communities for issues to get resolved, otherwise they would end up with people marching and creating mayhem, he reckoned. It was within their capacity and power as ANC members and councillors to address issues but they had to communicate with communities throughout while dealing with challenges upon implementation, he stressed. He continued stating that they were going to demand accountability from their councillors who had to understand they were answerable to communities whom they had to treat in a humane manner. “They can’t afford to be arrogant as if they elected themselves into those positions. On this one we are going to be very uncompromising.” With 122 branches resorting under the Peter Mokaba Region of the ANC he conceded that it was a massive task ahead, but added that fortunately he had been part of the interim leadership core in the region the past few months and that they had already started rectifying what needed correcting in the way branches were working, among others addressing the issue of gate-keeping by members. The top leadership collective elected in the early morning hours of Saturday was very competent and ready for any challenges they were going to be faced with, he assured.

CRIME shorts Alleged fraudster in court A former crime intelligence officer and his female co-accused appeared in the Tzaneen Magistrate’s Court on Monday on a charge of fraud after they allegedly attempted to steal more than R1,2 million from a businesswoman’s bank account. Provincial Police Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi said Jack Mathiba and Doreen Thamaga were arrested in Tzaneen on Saturday after they, along with an unknown man, reportedly approached the manager of a Nedbank branch with the aim of transferring money into other accounts. “Thamaga was allegedly in possession of the account holder’s fake identity document, claiming that she had signing powers. The manager contacted the accountholder who informed him that he was not aware of any transaction and that it was a possible fraudulent transaction,” Mulaudzi said. The Police were called and the two arrested while the third suspect escaped. Mulaudzi said by conducting interviews with Mathiba and Thamaga the third person will hopefully be identified. The two remain in custody and are expected to appear for a bail application tomorrow (Friday).

Alleged killer in court Suspected Thohoyandou serial killer, Godfrey Ntsieni will on 10 December make a third court appearance to face 16 charges of rape, murder, attempted murder and kidnapping. Ntsieni was arrested in July after a spate of rapes and murders took place at the University of Venda (Univen). As previously reported the body of Ntsieni’s suspected fourth victim, Brenda Ndove was found with a deep wound on the back of her head in July. She was an employee of the university. Apart from Ndhove the suspect is also being charged with the murders of Livhuwani Mbodi, Tshililo Ndou and Zwivhuya Alice Mashau, all of whom were allegedly raped before being killed. Although the fifth victim, Shudufhadzo Sandy Thagisa was lucky to escape with her life, she was allegedly heavily assaulted at Golgotha Village. Ntsieni was arrested at his home and a student identification card and a cell phone apparently belonging to Thagisa were found in his possession. Also found in his possession was a cell phone reportedly belonging to Ndove and a hairpin belonging to Mbodi.

DA turns to Minister over convicted Police officer RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com The manner in which a case of possession of presumably stolen property against a high ranking officer within the Police was opened and handled has now also caught the attention of the Democratic Alliance (DA) who intends submitting written questions in Parliament to the Minister of Police, Nkosinathi Nhleko to launch an inquiry into the particular case. Polokwane Observer earlier in October reported the concern of Police officials over the fact that the criminal record of a high ranking colleague had not been updated as prescribed after he was sentenced to four months imprisonment or a fine of R2 000 suspended for three years after he was found guilty of possessing a cell phone allegedly stolen from a senior officer’s house in Polokwane during a house robbery incident in February. The concerned officials were also unhappy about the suspect, a unit head, not being suspended nor internally disciplined following the cell phone being found in his possession. Jacques Smalle, DA Provincial leader said in a statement that information supplied to the DA, indicated that a witness in the official’s trial had allegedly also implicated him in other criminal activities. “To make the matter worse the official allegedly received a promotion recently to an elite crime fighting unit,” Smalle stated. He added that the DA’s concern is with Provincial Commissioner Fannie Masemola’s reluctance to instate internal disciplinary procedures against the officer. “The public cannot be expected to be satisfied that a convicted criminal is now in charge of a Police unit that investigates serious crimes,” he said.

Seda hosts annual seminar Invites all SMME’S to atte for entrepreneurs WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

is to empower the delegates with high-impact knowledge for maximum impact and business growth effectiveness and the theme for 2014 was “Creating the ecosystem to grow and support high impact entrepreneurs.” The Executive Mayor of the Capricorn District Municipality, Gilbert Kganyago officially opened the seminar and Marcus Mukumela, the Seda Vhembe Branch Manager, who is also the Acting Provincial Head of Seda delivered the keynote address to the delegates. Mukumela said the purpose of the annual seminar is to provide information to new and small businesses. The seminar is held in different districts every year and in 2014 it was the turn of the Capricorn district. “The main focus for this year will be on franchise and finance opportunities with the focus on women and the youth of Limpopo,” Mukumela explained. Kurt Illetschko, former Chairperson of the

Franchise Association South Africa (FASA) gave the many delegates that attended the seminar an insight into the various franchise opportunities available in South Africa, with special focus on the fast food and restaurant industry in the country. He emphasised the importance of understanding the binding contract between the franchisee and the holding company and other important matters like up-front fees, working capital, investment capital and reserves needed to run a franchise business successfully.

he inevitable Nerd infestation has finally arrived in Polokwane when a cavalcade of bright red Nerdmobiles conquered the parking areas at Mall of the North and Cycad Shopping Centre on Friday. Not the kind that devours unsuspecting crops, or the kind that draws crowds of screaming teenage girls (at least not yet). No, this was a gleaming armada of nerdy red Nerdmobiles that has snaked its way across South Africa conquering one city after another, wiping out all the confusing, I.T. techno-babble that happens to get in their way. Each red Nerdmobile was driven by a laptop-toting, duct tape spectacled, fully pocket-protected computer EntrepreNERD whose only desire is to rid the world of all its computer problems.

audits on the weekend and gave all branches in the province the green light. The audits went very well and all of their 435 branches met the requirements, Mathebe said. He added that the EFF in Limpopo had the biggest number of branches in South Africa. He said the regional assemblies would be held this weekend, but that confirmation on the venues was still awaited. The provincial assembly is expected to be conducted next weekend. The venue has also not been finalised as yet, it was learnt. With the focus shifting to the recent Student Representative Council (SRC) elections at the University of Limpopo (UL) where the EFF’s student component took the majority of seats, Mathebe said it was not going to be easy for the African National Congress (ANC) to claim back the university. He added that the EFF was testing their machinery with the elections at UL and the ruling party would be in for a high jump come 2016 local government elections.

Sport, Arts and Culture under fire at Scopa

RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

uring the public appearance of the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture before the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) last week, it was revealed that the Auditor General (AG) was, on numerous counts, unable to perform his tasks due to the lack of adequate record keeping and control over asset management by the department during the 2013/14 financial year. Assets Firstly the committee questioned detection by the AG of a significant number of movable tangible capital assets that were not included in the accounting records and financial statements and was therefore impractical to determine the extent of the understatement in the asset balance of R35 613 000 rendering the AG unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to confirm the physical assets by alternative means. The AG also identified a significant number of minor assets not included in the financial statements and it was impractical to determine the extent of the understatement in the assets balance of R73 600 000. A further R25 988 181 worth of assets were unable to be physically verified while the department also failed to record minor assets at the correct value in

accordance with departmental framework accounting of library materials. Consequently the value of these classes of assets stated at R73 600 000 in the financial statements have been overstated by R56 726 558. Commitments to contracts The AG reported that the department did not include all commitments relating to contracts awarded in accordance with the Modified Cash Standard. The AG identified commitments to the amounts of R2 498 774 that were not included in the financial statements. As the department did not maintain adequate records for commitments the AG was unable to determine the full extent of the understatement in commitments. The AG was unable to determine whether any adjustment relating to commitments stated at R23 344 000 was necessary. Further the department could not provide supporting documents for contracts awarded amounting to R6 567 564. There were no satisfactory alternative audit procedures by the AG to obtain reasonable assurance that contracts were awarded in accordance with the supply chain management regulations. Irregular expenditure The AG reported that during 2013 the department procured goods and services amounting to R16 853 036 in contravention of the department’s procurement policy requirements. Due

to the lack of an appropriate procurement system at the department, the AG was unable to confirm whether the disclosure made as regards to the irregular expenditure in the financial statements was complete. The matter still remains unresolved in the year under review. Consequently the AG was unable to determine whether any further adjustments to irregular expenditure stated to the department’s financial statements at R88 543 000 were necessary. The department also incurred irregular expenditure which is under investigation and has not been disclosed in the financial statements resulting that the full extent of irregular expenditure cannot be determined. Under spending The department has not achieved its objectives of the mass sport and recreation participation programme grant, library service grant and expanded public works programme because of under spending the budget by R16 762 258. Financial The AG reported contractual obligations and money owed by the department were not settled within 30 days as required and that effective steps were not taken to prevent irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure. The AG further reported that employees received overtime compensation in excess of 30% of their monthly salaries.

The evening’s programme catered for speaker upon speaker acknowledging longstanding relations between the two countries by highlighting political ties, the Cuban revolution, existing programmes, plans for future cooperation as well the continued campaigning for the release of the three remaindering members of the Cuban 5 still in custody in America. One of the last to speak was Michael Ndwambi, a doctor based in Thohoyandou who shared recollections from 2001 to 2007 while studying in Cuba. He testified that the solidarity of their Cuban hosts made them adapt while staying abroad. “We are beneficiaries of the Cuban revolution,” he pronounced while occasionally switching to Spanish.

DA calls for heads of Ledet HOD, finance chief RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com The Democratic Alliance (DA) strongly calls on Limpopo Economic Development, Environment and Tourism MEC Seaparo Sekoati to take immediate action against its Head of Department, Solly Kgopong and Chief Financial Officer, Dikeledi Mothapo in order to save the department from the hands of incompetent and careless officials. During the department’s appearance before the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) last Tuesday a report from the Auditor General’s (AG) office revealed that the Framework for Management Programme Performance (FMPP) requires the department to have appropriate systems to collect, collate, verify and store performance information to ensure valid, accurate and complete report-

ing of actual achievements against planned objectives, indicators and targets. The AG was unable to obtain the information and explanations he considered necessary to satisfy himself as to the reliability of the reported performance information. DA Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle said in a press release that the department’s oversight responsibility, action plans, financial reports, compliance and proper record keeping are among obligations of the department which Kgopong and his team embarrassingly admitted to have neglected as part of their responsibilities. “It was revealed during the meeting that human resources, transfer of funds, revenue management, expenditure management, asset management and annual financial statements were further responsibilities neglected due to incompetence,” Smalle stated.

YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com

he past weekend’s elective conference of the African National Congress (ANC) in Peter Mokaba Region did not go by without a few glitches as branch delegates converged to choose a new leadership after an earlier court interdict that halted last December’s processes in Polokwane. The two-day programme hosted at Hayani Lodge on the outskirts of town eventually started on Friday evening after a five-hour delay seemingly caused by groupings still caucusing prior to the conference commencing. Supporters of erstwhile Capricorn District Executive Mayor Dewet Monakedi and Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng, who led the most dominant preferential line-ups for the top five leadership, were in high spirits before delegates could pack the hall for an all-important event. Drama unfolded already with the opening session when delegate Jimmy Machaka interjected as Monakedi as Regional Task Team Convenor delivered the political report as per request by MEC Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana, who directed the programme. ANC Provincial Secretary Nocks Seabi and Deputy Chairperson, MEC Jerry Ndou intervened as Machaka was guided out of the venue and the matter was later made off as a misunderstanding that arose as the programme was not initially adopted before Monakedi was called to deliver the report. According to information the names of those forming the top five leadership were announced in the early hours of Saturday. John Mpe was elected as Monakedi’s deputy, Eugene Masete as Regional Secretary, Sammy Selamolela as deputy secretary and Nakedi Sibanda as treasurer of the region. The conference that was supposed to come to an end on Saturday evening was, however, concluded a day later after a hitch was experienced with regards to the nomination of additionals on the regional executive earlier that day, it was learnt. After the reported omission of names was addressed, the election process was finalised. Monakedi’s closing remarks in his capacity as newly elected Peter Mokaba Regional Chairperson were yet again interrupted on Sunday evening when Machaka joined the Coordinator of the ANC Youth League (Ancyl) Provincial Task Team, Mosa Chabane, in rising midway through the speech by attempting to raise points of order. At the time Mpe stepped in to indicate that the programme was considered closed. Delegate Jimmy Machaka attempts to raise a point during ANC Peter Mokaba Regional Chairperson Dewet Monakedi’s speech on Friday evening.

PHS kroon leerders vir uitnemendheid RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

Willie Schoeman, skoolhoof oorhandig PHS se akademiese erekleure aan gasspreker en Rooi Rose reisredakteur, Mariette Snyman.

Die toptien leerders in graad 12 is Elani Nel (89,42%), Nettie van der Goot (90,7%), Madelé Nienaber (88,71%), Adèle van Jaarsveld (89%), Francél Geyer (88,71%) en Imé du Plessis (88,71%). Agter is Julia Alsemgeest (93,85%), Biemond Hoogenboezem (90,28%), Johan Krüger (94,57%) en Jaco Potgieter (90,85%). Angelique Jacobs (90,14%) was afwesig.

Spesiale toekennings is gemaak aan Elizma le Roux (belowendste onderwyskandidaat, toekenning as hoofdogter 2014), Johan Krüger (PHS beheerliggaam-toekenning vir veelsydige prestasie), Corine Lloyd (Johnny Hamman-toekenning vir gasvryheidstudies-leerder wat tersiêre opleiding volg) en Chanté Jardim (FJ Bezuidenhoutstudiebeurs, enige rigting). Agter is Jaco Potgieter (dr TL Boshofftoekenning vir die leerder wat die leuse, dit wat die moeite werd is om te doen, is die moeite werd om goed gedoen te word, die beste uitleef), Lucius van Rensburg (grootste algehele akademiese prestasieverbetering) en Richardt Stroebel (toekenning as hoofseun 2014).

Soos gewoonlik het ‘n gasspreker van formaat, in dié geval die vrouetydskrif, Rooi Rose se reisredakteur, Mariette Snyman leerders van Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) tydens die skool se hoofprysuitdeling toegespreek. “Vind jou X-faktor en jy sal verseker jou beroep suksesvol beoefen,” het Snyman (née Minne) verlede Donderdag aan presteerders gesê. Snyman, ‘n oud-Pietie het Pieties se toppresteerders aangeraai om tyd te gebruik om hulself beter te leer ken. “Beantwoord die volgende

vrae en jy sal gou agterkom waar jou belangstelling of Xfaktor lê: Waaroor dagdroom jy gereeld? Waarna kyk jy as tydskrifte deurblaai? Met watter speelgoed het jy die meeste gespeel toe jy klein was? Waaroor handel die televisieprogramme waarna jy graag kyk?” Sy het ter afsluiting die belangrikheid om drome na te streef beklemtoon en Pieties daaraan herinner dat hulle eerstens moet geniet wat hulle doen. Skoolhoof, Willie Schoeman het die skool se akademiese erekleure aan Snyman oorhandig wat in 1977 met ses onderskeidings aan PHS gematrikuleer het.

Goue medaljewenners tydens vanjaar se Nasionale Afrikaans Ekspo.

eerders van Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé wat vanjaar uitsonderlik presteer het, is verlede Donderdagaand tydens die jaarlikse prysuitdeling vir uitnemendheid vereer. Die nuwe kurrikulum vir tegniese skole tree in Januarie 2016 in werking. Dit beteken dat graad 7-leerders die keuse kan uitoefen om by ŉ tegniese skool in te skryf. Tegniese leerders sal toegang tot alle universiteite en tersiêre instellings in die land hê. Die nuwe kurrikulum bied ŉ groot verbetering vir leerders wat nie universiteit toe wil gaan nie, omdat daar in elk van die tegnologievakke gespesialiseer word. Ferdie Liddle, die Nasionale Vereniging van Skole

vir Tegnologie (NVST) se uitvoerende hoof, sê die nuwe kurrikulum sal voorsiening maak vir die opleiding van tegnici op alle vlakke – van ingenieurs en argitekte tot ambagsmanne. “Leerders wat in die toekoms by ‘n tegniese skool matrikuleer, sal beter voorbereid wees op enige ingenieurstudies en ambagsopleiding omdat opleiding meer gespesialiseerd met ondersteunende vakke is. Leerders sal die volgende vakkeuses kan maak: Twee Tale, Wiskunde of Tegniese Wiskunde, Fisiese Wetenskappe of Tegniese Wetenskap, Ingenieursgrafika en –ontwerp, Lewensoriëntering en ŉ Tegnologievak. Skole sal ook nie meer toegelaat word om tegniese vakke sonder die ondersteunende vakke aan te bied nie, omdat dit leerders se toekomsmoontlikhede beperk het.”

Women of Excellence conference in Polokwane HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

omen of Excellence will host its 12th Conference this year under the theme “Equipping men and women for greater destinies” at Gateway Conference Centre Polokwane Airport tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday. The Founder and Event Organiser, Sindy Maponya said the purpose of the event is to inspire and provoke men and women from all walks of life to strive and attain excellence in every aspect of their lives, irrespective of colour, title, spiritual or socio economic status. She also pointed out that Women of Excellence through collaboration with great Motivational Speakers and pastors, in addition to continued support and mentoring to individu-

als, have produced and contributed to development of women of substance, achievers from domestic workers to airline flyers, who are excelling, and contributing in their spheres of influence, from humble beginnings. “We are inviting all men and women of all colour and race. People who want to be developed in various aspects of life; professionals looking for leadership development, coaching and mentoring. Couples, divorcees, singles and widowed and anyone looking for a way to make a success of their lives. Registration fee is R300 per person, which covers both days. There will be no refunds. A table of 10 people costs R2 800 and meals are included in the fee. Companies and individuals who are interested are invited to register for exhibition at the conference on first come first served basis,” Maponya said.

>> ‘To inspire and provoke men and women from all walks of life to strive and attain excellence in every aspect of their lives’

Women of Excellence was started in 2002 by Sindy Maponya as an inspiration from the conferences attended and addresses in the USA and other parts of Africa. Its aim was to inspire and provoke men and women from all walks of life to strive and attain excellence in every aspect of their lives, irrespective of their background and social circumstances. According to Maponya this was a mammoth task, as Black South Africans particularly came from a background of social, emotional and financial oppression, to mention the least. “The conferences, however, in addition to continued support and mentoring, to those who saw such value and developed ambition, have produced Women of substance today, who are excelling, and have achieved greatly in their area of influence,” added Maponya.

Savannah Mall creates baby awareness HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Savannah Mall in partnership with Baby Gym and Baby City staged a baby exhibition at the centre’s banking mall on Saturday with the aim of promoting and showcasing baby suppliers to their clientele while also creating more knowledge about babies According to Karen Botha, Marketing Manager of the mall the exhibit is an annual event. “We invite mothers to learn more about their babies and also create a platform for mothers

to interact with one another and share knowledge and the best practices of motherhood.” Baby gym instructor Rika Terblanche was on hand to inform mothers about their babies’ milestones - sucking, rolling, sitting, crawling and walking - and the importance of babies achieving them. Terblanche stressed that parents should closely watch the achievement of each of these goals. “If babies miss

out on these milestones they will tend to have problems in socialising and later maybe have scholastic problems,” she said. Baby City Polokwane Manager, Wilma Fourie thanked the parents for coming to the exhibition. “We had lots of baby products, from toiletry, gear, chairs, prams and strollers on display we also gave away baby goodies to mothers who atended the exhibition,” she said.

Own the road in the new Toyota Yaris >> New Yaris fitted with world first wet-arm wiper system >> Yaris offers smooth and responsive driving performance

RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

The interior of the new Yaris is spacious and fitted with ample safety features.

NEW

he middle class potential vehicle buyer is most likely to keep fuel consumption in consideration, but would in exchange therefor compromise on performance which is a different scenario when it comes to the new Toyota Yaris. Taking on the stretching roads of Limpopo or using the Yaris as an everyday city vehicle, it promises never to let down on any aspect of comfort, safety, performance and reliability. The new Yaris has a daring design of style with the new muscular grille and lights. Its sporty new looks live up to its Motorsport Rally heritage and association with the Red Bull X-Fighters. Noticing the absence of a window washer could get confusing but when you look closer it is clear that the Yaris was designed with safety in mind. The world first wet-arm wiper system has a water spray nozzle built into the wiper arm and the wiper fluid is sprayed directly in the path of the blade from the base of the wiper arm. The Yaris also features a Brake Override System (BOS) that prioritises braking action and suppresses engine output should the brake and accelerator be stepped on at the same time. The Hybrid comes with Hill Ascent Control (HAC) and up to seven airbags. For added security every Yaris is fitted with an immobiliser, remote control central locking and a follow-me-home light control system. All models also have a child restraint seat belt system and rear door child protection locks. On the interior the new Yaris is kitted-out with next level technology and comfort. A bold new audio cluster packs an AM/FM radio, sic speakers and Bluetooth, all controlled with audio switches on the steering wheel. Front and rear power windows, air conditioner and glove box with cooling function are standard on all models. The Hybrid comes with Push Start and also a back monitor, slick leather and fabric combination seats, a touchscreen audio system, eight speakers and Multi-Information Display. The new Yaris was designed to maximise interior space. It has got ample room to fit five adults comfortably and a large boot for luggage. If you need extra room, the rear seat is retractable and can be split 60:40 to carry almost anything. Toyota has an impressive 103 rally victories, ten driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; championships and 21 manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; titles to date. The 1,0 litre delivers 51 kW at 6 000 rpm, the 1,3 litre, 73 kW at the same revolutions with the Hybrid performing at 55 kW at 4 800 rpm. The 1,0 litre engine has a five speed manual transmission while the lively 1,3 litre has either a six speed transmission or Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The CVT on the 1,3 litre petrol and 1,5 Hybrid delivers a smoother drive, creates improved fuel efficiency and achieves a level of quietness that ranks among the top in its class. Performance is optimised in the Hybrid by its hybrid system powertrain, which runs two types of power sources, a petrol engine and an electrical motor. It skilfully combines the petrol engine and electric motor based on driving conditions. The hybrid system fully utilises the strengths of each power source and compensates for the weaknesses. The result is a smooth and responsive driving performance with significantly reduced fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions.

Oud-Pietie Morné Marais is onder die top 25 finaliste vir vanjaar se Mnr Suid-Afrika. Hy het onlangs ‘n antiboelie-veldtog geloods.

Plaaslike Mnr SA-finalis stig antiboelie-veldtog >> Volwassenes ook teikens van boelies RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

nr Suid-Afrika-finalis en oudleerder van Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS), Morné Marais het verlede week sy alma mater besoek waar hy leerders oor sy nuutste antiboelie-veldtog toegespreek het. “Ek is ongeveer twee maande gelede ingelig dat ek onder die top 25 finaliste vir die Mnr Suid-Afrika titel is. As Christen het ek die Here gevra om my te help om die platform te gebruik om werklik ‘n verskil in ander mense se lewens te maak. Ek het ‘n goeie vriend, wat op skool geboelie is, verloor nadat hy selfmoord gepleeg het. Die Here het

my verskeie tekens gestuur en ek het geweet ‘n veldtog oor skoolboelies is my volgende roeping,” sê Marais wat reeds by skole en universiteite toesprake gelewer en radio-onderhoude oor dié veldtog gevoer het. “Dit is skrikwekkend om te sien hoeveel kinders op skool geboelie word en waarom hulle teikens van boelies word. Die hoogste syfer van leerders tussen graad 4 en 7 in die wêreld wat geboelie word, is in Suid-Afrika terwyl 80% van dié groep aan dwelms blootgestel word,” sê hy. Marais sê dat die veldtog nie net op slagoffers nie, maar ook op boelies fokus. “So sleg as wat dit vir die slagoffer is en dit hom soms tot die uiterste dryf, so belangrik is dit om te verstaan hoekom ‘n boelie so optree. Die belangrikste vir ‘n boelie is om homself te vra of sy aksies homself beter gaan laat voel en regverdig dit die invloed op ‘n ander se lewe?” Hy wil nie net ‘n verskil in jongmense se

Polokwane lewer worskoning ná tien probeerslae op BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Koos van Dyk kan met reg op die titel worskoning aanspraak maak nadat hy onlangs as wenner van die landwye Shoprite Checkers Boereworskompetisie 2014 bekroon is en ‘n Toyota dubbelkajuit-bakkie as prys ontvang het. Van Dyk is al 35 jaar in die vleisbedryf en het sy loopbaan as ‘n leerling-blokman begin en is tans Shoprite Checkers se streeksbestuurder: vleismarkte in die stad. Die resep vir sy kampioenwors is ‘n goedbewaarde geheim wat net hy en die verskaffer van die speserymengsel wat gebruik word, ken. Sy Championship boerewors sal vir die volgende twee jaar in alle Shoprite Checkers vleismarkte beskikbaar wees. Ná die eerste jaar word sy wors hernoem tot Champion Rozette om plek te maak vir volgende jaar se

wenresep. Van Dyk se resep vir die 2014-kompetisie was sy tiende poging en hy sê dat kwaliteitvleis, die regte verhouding tussen bees- en varkvleis en die regte speserymengsel die sleutel tot sukses is. Dit is ook belangrik dat die wors se vetinhoud nie hoër as 30% moet wees nie. Slegs egte “28/32”-worsderms word gebruik. “Die beoordelingsproses tydens die twee uitdunne en die finale kompetisie by Sun City was baie streng en regverdig. Elke deelnemer moes sy rou wors saambring wat gaargemaak is nadat dit geproe is en met slegs ‘n nommer sonder garnering aan die beoordelaars voorgesit is. Die resep is aan die begin van die kompetisie ingedien en kon nie tydens die kompetisie verander word nie. Die kompetisie is oop vir enige worsmaker en die speserye word tydens die finale rondte in die teenwoordigheid van die

beoordelaars gemeng,” sê die worskoning. Van Dyk braai graag en maak natuurlik sy eie wors volgens sy geheime resep as daar genoeg gaste opdaag, anders koop hy dit by die naaste Shoprite Checkers vleismark. Hy gaan nie weer aan die kompetisie deelneem nie omdat hy glo ander worsmakers moet ook ‘n geleentheid kry. Sy raad aan hulle is: “Aanhou, aanhou en aanhou! As jy nie wen nie, verander jou resep tót hy reg is.”

As deel van Mnr Suid-Afrika is Marais reeds by verskeie organisasies betrokke waar onder die Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit se miljoen bome-projek, Ubuntu Babahuis, die Dierebeskermingsvereniging (DBV) in Wellington asook die J9-projek ten bate van Joost van der Westhuizen en die Rhino Foundation. Hy is baie opgewonde oor ‘n realiteitsprogram met die 25 Mnr Suid-Afrika-finaliste wat eersdaags uitgesaai word. “Ons mag nie iets uit die mou laat nie, maar mense kan gerus DStv dophou om te sien wanneer die opwindende program begin.” Marais het in 2004 aan PHS gematrikuleer en is tans ‘n fiksheidsinstrukteur by ‘n gimnasium in Kaapstad.

Westenburg street lights to be prioritised BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Certain areas of Westenburg still have to make do without street lights and residents living in those parts are up in arms about the municipality’s failure to provide this service. Tidimalo Chuene, Manager: Communications and Marketing of the municipality, says: “We would like to point out that street lights are installed as per a priority list which is developed through platforms like the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), community consultations and Representative Forums. Priorities are informed by communities and the Westenburg community has to put street lights as one of its priorities and needs, which will then inform the IDP priority list in terms of installation of street lights and high mast lights.”

RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) is een volle ton boerewors ryker nadat die plaaslike Shoprite/Checkers Championship Boereworskoning van 2014, Koos van Dyk dié skool as begunstigde van die donasie genomineer het. As deel van die prestigeryke kompetisie kon Van Dyk ‘n skool nomineer wat die groot hoeveelheid wenwors ontvang. Van Dyk se tweelingseuns, Alex en Gawie het verlede jaar aan PHS matrikuleer en die skool was baie ondersteunend na die gesin se beproewing toe Alex beide sy bene tydens ‘n motorfietsongeluk verloor het. “Ons is nog nie seker wat ons met die wors gaan doen nie. Een moontlikheid is om pakkies te maak en te verkoop en die geld vir die behoeftige fonds aan te wend. ’n Ander opsie is om die Shoprite/ Checkers-groep te vra of ons die wors in Januarie kan kry om in die atletiekseisoen te gebruik,” sê PHS-skakelbeampte, AnnaMarié Schoeman.

he Department of Social Development recently hosted its annual older persons beauty pageant at Bolivia Lodge in an effort to recognise the role that senior citizens should play in the community. Capricorn District Municipality’s Member of the Mayoral Committee, Patricia Mahlo delivered the keynote address on behalf of the MEC, Happy Joyce Mashamba. “Today, when we look around us, we observe many years of knowledge and wisdom in one room. We are surrounded by people who have seen and experienced many things; some pleasant, some more forgettable. However, one thing is certain. A gathering such as this, of active, creative and enthusiastic senior citizens is testimony to what we have achieved in 20 years of freedom,” Mahlo is quoted to have said. Social Development Month is celebrated during October and the support of and caring for older persons, remains key in the Department’s efforts to create caring and self-sustaining communities. The Department’s partners in this endeavour, the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa), the National Development Agency (NDA) and the Older Persons Forum, make it possible to create opportunities for older people to take part in active ageing.

We need to create a caring society with our most vulnerable citizens in mind,” Mahlo said. “The aim of activities focusing on older people is to protect their rights and dignity and to acknowledge their rights under the constitution. While senior citizens deserve special

treatment due to their advanced age, they also need to actively participate in community events. They need not to be overlooked or stashed away in the corners of our communities. In fact, we should treasure them as icons and historians that have a lot to teach us about life,” Mahlo told the senior citizens. Mahlo concluded by saying that the meaningful role that older persons continue to play in all areas of society, namely in politics,

Golden Girl Winnie Manamela, Head of Department of Social Development, Daisy Mafubelu and Golden Boy Solomon Nchabeleng. voluntary and community work and family life, is acknowledged. “The reality in many communities is that older persons continue to bear the burden of providing care and support to an increasing number of orphans and vulnerable children, while caring for their own children and grandchildren”. The elderly guests were transported from various institutions in the region and spontaneously danced to the music that was provided.

Matrikulante teken eksamengedragskode

October 23, 2014

30 OBSERVER polokwane

ELNA ESTERHUYSEN >>observer.elna@gmail.com Die 78 matrikulante van Westenburg Sekondêre Skool het hul Vrydag amptelik in die teenwoordigheid van die departement van onderwys daartoe verbind om die gedragskode van die eindeksamen te gehoorsaam. Dié geleentheid het deel van die senior sertifikaat- eksamenonderneming gevorm wat landwyd om 10:00 deur graad 12-leerders van openbare skole uit eie keuse onderteken is. Leerders onderneem daarin om hul persoonlike en akademiese doelwitte te bereik, op hul studies te fokus, medeskoliere te ondersteun, nie van stryk gebring te word deur persoonlike of ander omstandighede nie en die beginsels van eerlikheid en integriteit in die eksamen te volg. “Ek bedank elke onderwyser wat ‘n ekstra myl gestap het om matrieks te help met onder meer naskoolse ekstraklasse. Dit is nou tyd dat elke leerder wys waartoe hy in staat is, hard werk en op die eindeksamen fokus omdat ‘n matrieksertifikaat toekomsmoontlikhede ontsluit. Wees positief en sien jouself as ‘n wenner. Ek gee aan elkeen penne, ‘n liniaal en potlood as motiveringsgebaar, omdat julle vir my soos my eie kinders voel,” het Helen Peasnell, waarnemende kringinspekteur van die onderwysdepartement gesê.

Weerskante is nuutverkose hoofleiers Rikus Fick en Monique Wreyford wat PHS se vaandel van uittredende hoofleiers, Richardt Stroebel en Elizma le Roux ontvang. Foto: RC Myburgh

Agter is Jimmy Steele, waarnemende skoolhoof en Nthara Tladi, assistentbestuurder, skoolbestuurder van die departement.

RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com Graad 12-leerders van die Hoërskool Pietersburg het verlede Vrydag hul laaste skooldag op ‘n tradisionele wyse afgesluit. Oudergewoonte word die skool se vaandel, die bekende pop, Kardoesie en die veteraanmotor, Scottie aan die nuutverkose hoofleiers oorhandig asook die gebruik van die matriekblok deur die graad 11-leerders wat volgende jaar die voorreg sal hê om pouses in dié blok te kuier. Rooi Rose se reisredakteur, Mariette Snyman het ook die geleentheid bygewoon nadat sy die vorige aand toppresteerders by die skool se hoofprysuitdeling toegespreek het. Snyman het haar boodskap aan die skool saam met dié van die uittredende hoofleiers, Elizma le Roux en Richardt Stroebel, in die matriekblok se posbus gegooi. Dié posbus sal tydens die skool se eeufeesviering in 2021 leeggemaak en die

briewe vir die eerste keer gelees word. Sedert die instelling van dié gebruik in 2003 is briewe van verskeie oud-Pieties soos Victor Matfield, Van Zyl Slabbert en oudminister Marthinus van Schalkwyk saam met talle uittredende hoofleiers en ander oud-Pieties wat as eregaste opgetree het, in die posbus geplaas.

Uittredende hoofseun, Richardt Stroebel en sy pa, Anton oomblikke voordat die deur van die Poort na Kennis vir die graad 12-leerders geopen word.

Fifteen-year-old Firebird Fencing Club member, Danica Opperman with the two silver medals that she won at the South African Fencing Championships in Pretoria recently.

the South African Fencing Championships in Pretoria recently. She started fencing at Firebird Fencing Club in Polokwane after being introduced to the sport by a friend in April and immediately took a liking to the lesser known sporting code. “The first time I attended a training session at the club I intuitively knew this was the sport I wanted to participate in and my father brought me to the club and now they are my biggest supporters and travel to all the tournaments that I have competed in so far,” Danica said. After her good performance at the South African Championships Danica is currently ranked the country’s number two girl in the Kadett Foil division and fourth in the Epee division. In the women’s Junior (u.21) age category she is ranked number nine in Foil and 14th in Epee and is aiming for the number one position in both disciplines in the Kadett category next year. Danica went on to say that she finds fencing intriguing and thanked God for giving her the talent to be able to be a good fencer. “You have to be extremely fit to compete at the national championships and a person has to be emotionally mature and be prepared to listen and learn,” Danica explained. She also expressed her thanks to her coach, Wallace Goosen for his patience and dedication towards the sport and the support from the other fencers and parents at the club during tournaments. Goosen said Danica is a hardworking, dedicated young fencer who wants to excel in the sport. He added that she never gives up and had to fence over 40 bouts in Pretoria in order to win her two silver medals. Meanwhile, Danica remains unfazed with all the intention and is working hard to improve her fencing technique in order to win gold at next year’s championships.

Needy children benefit from KFC’s Add Hope initiative BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

Thanks to all your generous contributions at Polokwane KFC, we are helping make a difference to 40 000 children across SA every single month. Add Hope has raised R210 million from KFC customers and franchisees in the past 4 years and that support goes straight to 90 beneficiaries across SA, feeding hungry children. R2 is all it takes. Please remember to Add Hope to your order at Polokwane KFC or donate online at www.addhope.co.za.

KFC’s Add Hope initiative continues to make a difference in the lives of less fortunate children both in Limpopo and countrywide. Phedisa Lethlantere Drop-in Centre, a local beneficiary of KFC’s Add Hope initiative, offers 180 learners attached to schools adjoining the Blood River based facility breakfast and lunch on weekdays. The food is bought from the annual Add Hope donation and acting Centre Manager Lerato Letsoalo reportedly said these meals are in some instances the only food the learners receive for the week. “I am aware of the fact that some of the learners save half of their portions to take home to a family member,” Letsoalo informed. Lauren Turnbull, Corporate Social Responsibility and Sponsorships Manager KFC South Africa says that Add Hope now feeds over 70 000 children a month across the country through 90 selected national and community

beneficiaries. Together with contributions from KFC franchisees annually, these donations are used to sustain the initiative, and every R2 goes directly to feeding the children.

Polokwane Rally winners Leroy Poulter and Elvéne Coetzee (Castrol Team Toyota Yaris) throw up a cloud of dust on day two.

Carnage reigns at Polokwane Rally T

he Castrol Team Toyota Yaris of Leroy Poulter and Elvéne Coetzee clinched the South African National Rally Championship title at the Polokwane Rally over the weekend with one round still left in the championship. In the process they also gave Toyota their first S2000 national rally title since 2004. The Toyota team also clinched the S1600 class to dominate the 2014 rally season. Four teams still had a chance to overtake Poulter and Coetzee before the start of the rally on Friday, but five of the nine S2000 vehicles and three of the eleven contenders in the S1600 class for two-wheel drive cars were forced to retire on the opening day. The current national rally leaders, Poulter and Coetzee, however dominated the race from day one to remain unscathed after all the wrecked vehicles around them, with their nearest challengers and last year’s Polokwane Rally winners, Mark Cronje and Robin Houghton (Ford Dealer Fiesta) damaging their suspension after hitting a gate post and forced to retire. After day one Japie van Niekerk/

Gerard Snyman (NAD Ford Fiesta), Henk Lategan/Barry White (Sasol VW Polo), Thilo Himmel/Armand du Toit (Sasol VW Polo), Chad van Beurden/ Nico Swartz (Beurden Construction VW Polo), Willie van Straaten/Scott Howden (Toyota RunX), Ashley HaigSmith/Damien van As (Ford Fiesta) and Chris Coertze/Mari van der Walt (Ford Fiesta) had all retired. Early on day two Poulter and Coetzee’s nearest challengers and team-mates, Hergen Fekken and Carolyn Swan experienced alternator problems to end their race. After that Poulter was merely required to drive

at half pace to clinch the rally and the national title. Coetzee was elated after winning the title to become the first female in the 54 year history of SA Rally Championship to be crowned as champion. Sixth overall and the winners of the S1600 class were the new SA champions, Guy Botterill/Simon Stacy-Lyle in their Yato Tools Toyota Etios. The local team of Jaco and George Baker (Autozone Toyota Tazz) finished 12th overall to also be among the finishers when the rally ended with the final stage around the Peter Mokaba Sports Complex on Saturday.

Lejané du Toit, ‘n graad 3-leerder van Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos, is ‘n jong ruiter wat reeds naam maak en toekennings inryg.

>> Haar instrukteur is haar rolmodel >> Sy droom daarvan om professioneel perd te ry RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

andat sy vanjaar vir die eerste keer aan perdrykompetisies begin deelneem het, is dit duidelik dat daar geen keer aan die tienjarige Lejané du Toit van Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos is wanneer sy op haar perd, Cleam Reef se rug klim nie. Hoewel sy nederig en skaam is, is sy ambisieus en koester groot drome wanneer dit by haar liefde vir perdesport kom. Met min ondervinding het sy reeds op plaaslike bodem, provinsiaal en nasionaal naam gemaak. Lejané het verlede naweek tydens die South African National Equestrian Schools Association (Sanesa) se nasionale perdespringkampioenskappe by Misty Meadows Equestrian Centre in Vivo ‘n algehele tweede plek in die kategorie vir 50 cm tot 60 cm verower waarop sy en haar ma, Marlize baie trots is.

“Sy het verlede jaar met perde kennis gemaak en by die Blouberg Ryskool in Vivo aangesluit waar die instrukteur, Leona van Amstel dadelik Lejané se potensiaal raakgesien het en sedert Januarie alles ingesit het om haar kompetisiegereed te kry,” sê Marlize. Gedurende die jaar het Lejané aan vier kwalifiserende rondtes vir die nasionale kompetisie deelgeneem waar sy verskeie plekke onder die topvier behaal het en in die Limpopo-span opgeneem is. Sy het ook vroeër vanjaar tydens die South African Showjumping-kompetisie by Maple Ridge in Krugersdorp ‘n tweede plek in die 60 cm-kampioenskappe behaal. “Die lekkerste van perdrykompetisies is om met my perd oor die hindernisse te spring. Ek droom daarvan om eendag professioneel deel te neem, maar voor dit moet ek eers aan nog baie kompetisies deelneem en hoër spring. My instrukteur, Leona is my grootste inspirasie en rolmodel,” sê Lejané. Sy lag op die vraag of sy al van haar perd afgeval het en knik vinnig instemmend. “Ek het gelukkig nie baie seergekry nie. Ek was ook nie bang om weer op te klim nie. Dit is deel van die sport en my liefde daarvoor is te groot om op te gee oor ‘n val,” sê Lejané. Marlize sê hul familie is baie lief

vir diere, veral perde. “Ek ry self perd, maar net vir die plesier terwyl my pa ook ‘n groot perdeliefhebber was. My broer is ‘n veearts in die stad so ek dink ‘n liefde vir diere loop in die gene,” sê sy. Marlize ry elke Dinsdag en Donderdag Vivo toe sodat Lejané kan oefen, maar die perd bly by die ryskool en hoef nie heen en weer gekarwei te word nie. “Oefening is baie belangrik om jou styl perfek te kry. ‘n Goeie ruiter is kalm, geduldig en verstaan sy of haar perd se lyftaal,” meen Lejané terwyl Marlize dit beaam en sê dat haar dogter alle eienskappe van ‘n goeie ruiter toon, maar bo alles is sy oneindig lief vir haar perd en wil net die beste vir hom hê. Lejané is ook kunstig en teken graag prente van diere en veral perde. Vir nou is die kompetisies vir die jaar verby, maar dié graad 3-leerder laat lê nie slap nie omdat die eerste kompetisie reeds in Februarie 2015 gehou word.
