raised with Luthuli House leadership during a meeting to be requested as soon as possible. “The situation in the province has gone from bad to worse. People are having empty stomachs. People are crying. People have enjoyed the wealth of the country when Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki were in power. Since then the door to corruption has opened.” High level intervention in the affairs of the ANC Youth League (Ancyl) in the province earlier this week was yet another indication that the ruling party in Limpopo did not have the capacity to manage its sub-structures on its own, said a source within inner party ranks. Monday’s intervention suggested that the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ruling party was gradually losing its confidence in Premier Stan Mathabatha and his collective, the source remarked. Mathabatha, who is accused of increasingly failing to show at political events important to some structures, was missing in action, he stressed. At the same time the party’s Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) did not convene as regularly as expected and only for a day at a time. In an earlier report Polokwane Observer quoted MKMVA Limpopo Deputy Chairperson Lulamile Jack in summarising the events

related to the provincial conference wherein he referred to the need for accelerated service delivery to destitute members as well as the community as a discussion point. Approached for comment on a possible revolt building up in the ranks of MKMVA cadres in the province, he stated he was not aware of such a notion. He confirmed discussions with the top leadership of the ruling party in the province to raise concerns and that they were waiting for feedback on a follow-up meeting that was expected to happen before their provincial conference. ANC Provincial Secretary Nocks Seabi commented they were continuously meeting with all structures of the ruling party in Limpopo from time to time - which was also the case with the MKMVA in the province - to discuss internal issues, the nature of which he did not want to reveal. They would give the MKMVA feedback as with all their structures as per their request. He indicated that no specific date was set for a follow-up meeting with the provincial leadership of the structure. On the issue of the PEC meetings that was raised he referred to the last one in mid-August and the next on Sunday, to be impacted on by a regional conference. He indicated a full account of the story was required to be able to comment properly.

Pa sterk goed aan na ongeluk waarin sy seun sterf RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Die pa van die 14-jarige Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé-leerder, Zander Smith wat onlangs in ‘n fratsongeluk dood is, Pieter sterk goed aan nadat hy ook tydens die voorval op hul plaas op die Chuenespoortpad ernstig beseer is. “Ek het die gebruik van my onderarm verloor en kan glad nie my vingers beweeg nie. Die weefsel en spiere is erg beskadig. “Dokters monitor selgroei in die hoop dat ek miskien eendag die gebruik van een of twee vingers sal hê,” sê Pieter wat gereeld Pretoria toe reis om dokters te besoek sodat die wonde skoongemaak kan word. Pieter het verlede Donderdag weer die plastiese chirurg besoek en as alles goed gaan sal dokters

volgende week met veloorplantingsoperasies begin. Zander is op 17 Augustus dood nadat hy vermoedelik in ‘n windpomp se skroef verstrengel geraak het. Sy pa se arm is ernstig beskadig in ‘n poging om sy seun te probeer red. Moeilike pad Oor Zander se dood sê hy: “Dit is ‘n moeilike pad om te stap. Geen ouer wat ‘n kind aan die dood afstaan, sal kan sê dit is maklik om te verwerk nie.” Pieter het namens die gesin en familie sy dank teenoor Polokwane-inwoners, vriende en familie vir hul ondersteuning uitgespreek. “Elke boodskap en gebed het ons gedra deur die moeilike tyd. Die warm liefde wat ons steeds ontvang is ongelooflik. Dankie aan almal wat ‘n bydrae lewer om die pyn en seer ligter te maak,” sê hy.

Die beweging na ‘n braaidag het groot ondersteuning en dryfkrag gekry toe Desmond Tutu, aartsbiskop emeritus, die benoeming as beskermheer van Nasionale Braaidag op 5 September 2007 aanvaar het.

According to him they were not being given decent positions, but instead were dumped at government departments or parastatals while those who defected to other political parties were rewarded with deployment upon their return. According to the source they were the first and last defence of the ANC but none of the current or former ruling party leaders or their provincial or regional structures ever gave an undertaking to help them. Running out of patience meant the perceived take-over of a key structure if there was no response soonest to requests posed to the top five in the ANC’s provincial leadership during a recent meeting that took place prior to the provincial elective conference of MKMVA at Magoebaskloof in September, he said. Delegates were anxiously waiting on feedback by the ANC and if they did not act soonest former MKs would take action in due course, he stressed.

Ontwikkeling van reuse hotel naby stadion skop af Van bl 1 Die ontwikkeling is die grootste van sy soort in die stad en waarskynlik die hele provinsie. “Ek was reeds by die munisipaliteit om toestemming vir waterverbruik te kry. Tans word die grondoppervlak skoongemaak en die beplanning is om volgende week met uitgrawings vir die installering van rioolstelsels, pyplyne en stormwaterpype te begin,” sê hy. Die Park Inn Hotel Polokwane word deur die internasionale Rezidor Hotel Group ontwikkel wat wêreldwyd ‘Park Inn by Radisson’-hotelle oprig. Park Inn Hotel Polokwane is die derde hotel wat deur die groep in Suid-Afrika gebou word. Die hotel sal uit 160 moderne gastekamers, ‘n restaurant, 580 m² konferensiefasiliteite, ‘n gimnasium, swembad en parkeerarea bestaan en volgens beplanning teen Januarie 2016 voltooi wees. President en hoof-uitvoerende

beampte van Rezidor, Kurt Ritter, sê in ‘n persverklaring dat Afrika een van die maatskappy se sleutelmarkte vir toekomstige sakebedrywighede geword het. “Suid-Afrika bied ontwikkelingsgeleenthede vir ons jong en dinamiese handelsmerk. Ons beplan om naam te maak in al nege hoofstede van die onderskeie provinsies,” sê hy. Volgens munisipale kommunikasie- en bemarkingsbestuurder, Tidimalo Chuene, was daar sedert 2010 verskeie struikelblokke wat die ontwikkeling van die hotel vertraag het. “Ek kan nie uitbrei oor die probleme nie, maar kan met sekerheid sê alle probleme was deeglik met die munisipaliteit bespreek en hanteer,” sê sy. Chuene kon ook nie die waarde van die ontwikkeling, wat miljoene rand beloop, bevestig nie. Polokwane Observer publiseer volgende week ‘n kunstenaarsvoorstelling van die projek.

R2 mil down the drain on parking, claims DA BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

he Polokwane Municipality is on the verge of terminating the contract of the service provider who was responsible for marshalled street parking in the city without demanding the company to pay back the revenue it has generated for nearly three years, claims the Democratic Alliance (DA). Kenny Makgabo, a DA councillor stated in a recent press release: “Easihold (Servest) was appointed by the municipality during January 2012 to maximise the collection of revenue for the use of on-street parking bays. Since the appointment, the service provider has failed to submit financial reports as specified in the service level agreement that was entered into by the parties. The service provider has failed to pay the municipality the revenue generated since their appointment and the municipality has already paid the service provider more than R2 million. There are no measures in place to collect the revenue from the service provider”. According to Makgabo’s statement the municipality now wants to terminate the contract and transfer the infrastructure that the service provider has been using to the municipality. “The DA is deeply concerned that taxpay-

ers’ money has been wasted on this service provider and our main concern is, why the municipality took so long to act if the service provider was indeed failing to pay the revenue to the municipality. If the service provider failed to generate the revenue, the service provide must pay back that R2 million.” The DA further implores on Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng to put measures in place to recoup the taxpayers’ money spent on the service provider and the revenue generated before the contract can be terminated. “The DA will further be writing a letter to the Speaker, Caiphus Mathiba, to urgently convene a special council meeting for a debate to discuss the issue,” the statement concluded. Polokwane Observer reported earlier that the municipality has paid close to R600 000 to legal firm Mohale Incorporated to advices them regarding management of this matter but seemingly no tangible results were obtained as yet. Tidimalo Chuene, Manager Communications and Marketing of the Municipality commented: “The Municipality is not intending to terminate the contract with Servest since the contract will be expiring on 3 January 2015. The allegation that the Municipality paid the service provider R2 million is not accurate, as

the service provider was appointed in terms of supply chain management processes and there was no requisite for the Municipality to pay the service provider any money and it was a material term of the service level agreement that the parties agree on a profit sharing model in terms of which the service provider will pay over twenty percent of the monthly profit to the Municipality. “It is a fact that the service provider has failed to submit detailed monthly financial statements to the municipality and a report is being generated to Council to apprise of the status with the anticipation that Council will resolve on the appropriate course of action to be taken. It is still astonishing how the quantum of R2 million was calculated by the party questioning the process because the municipality is not in possession of the financial reports from the service provider, a fact admitted by the opposition party. “In terms of the Standing Orders of Council, a Councillor should be asking a question in a written form (motion) to the Speaker of Council, and not adressing the matter through the media. The turn of events is unfortunate. Council reserves its rights to take any legal action in terms of the service level agreement in the event the service provider has failed to discharge its obligations,” Chuene concluded.

Ras en sy broer Hugo, dié se vrou Trudie, Mandla Magagula, Willie Oosthuizen, Joseph Wilkinson, Jacobus Steyn, Arno Smit, Christopher Scheepers en Willem van Jaarsveld het Maandag in die Hatfield Landdroshof in Pretoria op 318 aanklagte wat met renosterstropery verband hou, verskyn. Hugo Ras is Vrydag deur die Valke gearresteer toe hy glo in die hof op ‘n ander klag van renosterstropery verskyn het. Ras is ‘n bekende grootwildjagter, Oosthuizen ‘n lid van die Valke, Wilkinson ‘n prokureur van Pretoria en Steyn ‘n vlieënier. Volgens Valke-woordvoerder, Paul Ramaloko is Hugo Ras vermoedelik die hoofspeler in die sindikaat wat vir langer as vyf jaar in Limpopo, KwaZuluNatal, Gauteng en Mpumalanga bedrywig was. “Hulle word daarvan beskuldig dat hulle 24 renosters tussen 2008 en 2012 op staat- en privaateiendom gestroop het. Twee van die renosters het oorleef. Die sindikaat het na bewering 84 renosterhorings ter waarde van R22 miljoen onwettig bekom waarvan 34 glo gesteel is,” sê Ramaloko. Die tien bly in aanhouding en sal Maandag om borgtog aansoek doen.

HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za The Chairperson of the Provincial House of Traditional Leaders, Malesela Dikgale welcomed the decision by Premier Stan Mathabatha to ensure that the salaries of all kings and senior traditional leaders in the province are standardised. Dikgale said kings and senior traditional leaders traditionally earned a monthly stipend of either R2,500 or R1,100 a month and that did not bode well with the structure. “They now receive a decent salary and will be able to take care of their families,” Dikgale reportedly said last Friday during the opening of a branch office of the house in Vhembe district. Standing in for Premier Stan Mathabatha on the occasion, Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure MEC Jerry Ndou said the Provincial Government is happy to announce that all salary arrears owed to traditional leaders have, in accordance with their agreement, been paid. “We are

Traditional leaders welcome salary increase also delighted that we made a breakthrough in terms of medical aid for traditional leaders,” he said and added that traditional leaders are now members of the Government Medical Aid Scheme. Ndou said the fact that traditional leaders are now actively participating in municipal councils was reason for celebration. “Traditional leaders have an important role to play in the socio-economic development of our province. Their participation at this level of governance continues to add value to our efforts to improve conditions of living of our people. We call upon all politicians at local level to make sure that traditional leaders are abreast with the latest trends of governance,” Ndou said. Dikgale yesterday (Wednesday) told Polokwane Observer that the house intends opening branch offices in other districts in future. The opening of a branch office in Vhembe was necessitated by long travelling distances to Polokwane where the headquarters are situated, he explained.

Although conditions that were conducive for a quick shower occurred on Friday last week, no rainfall was recorded.

The latest report by the Polokwane Municipality stated that on Tuesday the 50 mega litre reservoir stood at a mere 38% while the new 30 mega litre reservoir held only 40% of its capacity. The reservoir in Potgieter Avenue contained 92% of its capacity while the main reservoir in Seshego measured at 60%. The reservoir in Extension 34 stands at 95%.

Skooldrag is vervang met baaikostuums en handdoeke en die waterglybaan en springkasteel het groot aftrek gekry. Vir dié wat nie vir die koue water kans gesien het nie, was daar genoeg speletjies en ‘n piekniek op die gras. Organiseerder Tjoppa de Beer sê dat die doel van die dag was om leerders die geleentheid te gee om die begin van die somer te ervaar en saam met vriende in die pret te deel. “Ons het seker gemaak dat daar ‘n verskeidenheid aktiwiteite beskikbaar is sodat almal kon deelneem. Almal het elke oomblik geniet,” het De Beer gesê.

Holiday programme a scam, claims residents ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com A sales pitch by World Vacations ensuring clients that they will get up to 60% discount on any holiday accommodation in the world, allegedly turned out to be a bank breaker for those who signed a contract with the so-called luxury holiday programme in Polokwane in July. Local resident Rodney Spiller said he was contacted by PE Marketing in Cape Town who claimed they are doing market research on the economic impact on the area after which they awarded him with R6 000 dining and holiday vouchers for his participation. “The marketers said the vouchers had to be picked up at a local venue and it would take 30 minutes to activate. The sales pitch began offering amazing discounts on holiday accommodation all over the world at up to 60% discount,” Spiller said and added that this figure was repeatedly mentioned. “We told the sales agent, only known as Errol, that we had already made a provisional booking at the Kruger National Park (KNP) whereupon he advised me to cancel that booking, sign up at World Vacations and he will guarantee a 50% discount on top of the pensioners’ discount, which we duly did,” Spiller said. After he made a once-off payment of R10 910,86, Spiller received his log-in details two weeks later and immediately queried KNP rates through World Vacations reservations. “KNP only offers a 10% discount. I voiced my displeasure to the World Vacations Client Liaison’s officer, Eugene Kruger who promised me he will investigate. Needless to say, I didn’t hear from him.” Spiller said he cancelled the debit order and requested a refund which was later denied. Kruger said he denied Spiller’s refund claiming that Spiller was in financial difficulty and the mandatory seven day waiting period has lapsed. Spiller

denies the fact that he was in financial difficulty. Polokwane Observer contacted a few local guesthouses and hotels in the area which are listed on World Vacation’s accommodation’s list. Group Marketing Manager for the Protea Hotel Group, Nickolas Barenblatt said he can confirm that Protea Hotel, nor any of their brands that form part of the group’s portfolio is not affiliated with World Vacations in any way. Kruger, on the other hand, said they are still negotiating with the hotel group, but prefer to do business with hotels such as Hilton and Sheraton. Kruger said they always ensure there is a signed written tender contract between the business and World Vacations. “We only deal with people who provide discounted rates. The problem with local hotels is that they increase their rates annually and this poses a problem for our clients since we want to ensure them a holiday at affordable prices,” Kruger said. Polokwane Observer contacted Douglas Walker from African Roots Guesthouse and Conference Centre in Polokwane who insisted that they did not enter into any kind of advertising through any media house and opt for word of mouth advertising. Walker said the information on World Vacation’s website seems to have been lifted from an older version of their webpage. “The images reflecting on their website are prior to the venue being painted in 2012,” Walker said and added that the prices listed are about 10% more than what they offer on a regular basis. Polokwane Observer requested the signed contract between African Roots Guesthouse and Conference Centre, but Kruger failed to adhere to the request at the time of going to press. Inconsistencies between the 30 minute presentation and the contract includes that no stay could be booked at any hotel for less than five days, yet

Errol clearly stated that you can book an overnight stay at any hotel, Spiller said. He said he was told that membership fees never increase, yet the contract states there is an annual increase. “The organisation guarantees a 60% discount on hotel accommodation at any hotel anywhere in the world, but the contracts states you can only book at hotels listed on the website. I was also told that I can book accommodation any time, however the contract states that no bookings can be made if the hotel is running a special,” Spiller said. Kruger hit back saying that the arrangements made with some hotels and guesthouses on their website only offer at the most 35% discount and continued by giving a conflicting statement saying that guesthouses offer 10% while some hotels offer 60% discount. An internet search resulted in many complaints about World Vacations where complainants claim the holiday programme is a scam and that the organisation cannot deliver on their promises. An entry made by ashnee.1 states: “We are another victim of world vacations. I wish I had read the reports on hello peter before going for the presentation. Eugene Kruger does not answer his phone, not does he return calls. When I call client services, they say the only person that can help is Eugene and no one else. “Where are the managers or whoever is in charge ??? I hope and pray someone stops these people (sic).” Kruger said taking into account that they have 72 000 members, the complaints on the website is less than one percent. “You can log a complaint for free, but if I want to respond I must pay,” he said and blamed the clients for trying to book international flights and accommodation at very short notice. “We prefer to spend the money by giving to charity and not by replying to insignificant complaints.”

ie NG Kerk Bendorpark neem eerskomende Sondag, 28 September ná twintig jaar afskeid van Gerhard Bothma en sy gesin. Bothma, wat vroeër vir prokureurs in Johannesburg gewerk het terwyl hy deeltyds in die regte aan die destydse Randse Afrikaanse Universiteit (RAU) studeer het, was predikant in Pietersburg-Oos toe hy in 1994 ‘n beroep na Bendorpark aangeneem het. “Die mense van Bendorgemeente was vir my en my gesin baie goed,” sê hy. Hy, Anneliese en Luzanne – wat tans ‘n vierdejaar mediese student is – het saam na Bendor se pastorie getrek. Johan – in sy tweede jaar BIS Multimedia, ook by Tukkies – is hier gebore. Hy onthou die eerste ruk in die gemeente as baie bedrywig. Tussen die normale bedieningsdinge deur het hy die mense in die gemeente leer ken. “Vanweë die veranderinge in 1994 en daarna was die aardigste van hierdie tyd dat jy baie mense leer ken het, net om van hulle afskeid te neem,” sê hy. Binne die eerste 24 maande ná die demokratiese verkiesing het baie gesinne vanweë werksverlies uit die gemeente na onder meer Gauteng, Kaap en Australië verhuis. Met baie van hierdie mense het hy nog steeds kontak. Die lekkerste deel van predikantwees? “Dis ‘n taai ene,” sê hy. “Seker die voorreg om by soveel mense betrokke te kan wees. Mense deel hulle lief en leed met jou en jy word as ‘t ware op heilige grond toegelaat. Jy leer mense ken soos wat hulle régtig is. Om mense in hulle aanbidding en soeke na goeie antwoorde

op hulle vrae te begelei. Elke jaar se pad saam met die belydenisklas. Om ‘n baba te doop. ‘n Grootmens wat die Here leer ken.” Die sewentien kinders wat hy sedert 1992 begrawe Gerhard Bothma het, het ‘n groot impak op hom gehad. Die emosies en vrae wat ‘n kind se dood oproep laat ‘n mens op ánder maniere oor God, die lewe en menswees dink. Ook oor kerkwees. Die afgelope vier jaar was van die Bothmas minder goeie jare. Anneliese se ouers – die bekende oudapteker, Daan Naudé en sy eggenote Lutré – is oorlede. Gerhard het siek geword en dokters het lank gesukkel om vas te stel wat presies fout was. Ná behandeling, ‘n nekoperasie verlede jaar en ‘n tongoperasie vanjaar, is hy nou besig om te herstel en opgewonde oor die pad wat voorlê. Na verneem word het die NG Ring van Pietersburg/Polokwane besluit om alternatiewe geloofsgemeenskappe te begin ontwikkel en Bothma, wat oor ‘n doktorsgraad in teologie beskik, gaan hierin leiding neem. Hy gaan ook begin om ‘n opleidingsinstelling én ‘n sentrum vir eietydse spiritualiteit daar te stel. In sy eie tyd wil hy graag soveel moontlik skryf, homself daarvoor beywer om die kerklike jaar in die kerk tot reg te laat kom en om die resultate van die sosiaal-wetenskaplike bestudering van die Bybel in populêre Afrikaans beskikbaar te stel. Bendorgemeente groet Sondag om 09:00 hulle dominee. Polokwane sê egter nie vaarwel nie. Gerhard gaan duidelik nog baie in en vir die gemeenskap doen. Die kerkraad het vanweë finansiële omstandighede ‘n skeidingspakket met hom aangegaan.

Police officer out on bail

A former Police official and his cousin, both aged 45, who appeared in the Bochum Magistrate’s Court two weeks ago following their arrest on a charge of armed robbery, were released on R2 000 bail each and will appear in court again on 31 October. Police Provincial Spokesperson Ronel Otto reported that Victor Kobe was arrested on 9 September and his cousin Oupa Kobe shortly thereafter. “The suspects were arrested after information was followed up about their alleged involvement in the armed robbery of an Indian shop at Darling Village, Maleboho earlier this month. It is alleged that the two entered the shop, pointed a fire-arm at the owner and robbed him of R13 000 in cash, air time vouchers, five cell phones and groceries,” she said. While Victor resigned from the service last year, investigations are ongoing to determine whether he was involved in similar crimes while still in the service.

Hamermonster weer 3 Oktober in hof

Die vermeende hamermonster, David Mamvura (23) wat veral inwoners van Eduanpark vermoedelik geteister het, het na sy derde verskyning in die Polokwane Landdroshof Vrydag aanduiding gegee dat sy regsverteenwoordiger met sy volgende verskyning op 3 Oktober teenwoordig sal wees. Volgens provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Ronel Otto sal Mamvura dan vir borgtog aansoek doen. Mamvura is in Augustus verlede jaar gearresteer en is borgtog van R2 000 toegestaan waarna hy gevlug het. Hy is ongeveer ‘n jaar later in ‘n woonstel in die middestad gearresteer. Die Zimbabwiër word vermoedelik verbind met ‘n aanval op ‘n egpaar in Bodensteinstraat waar hy ‘n 76-jarige vrou glo verkrag het asook ‘n aanval in Baymanstraat waar hy vermoedelik ‘n man met ‘n hamer aangeval en ernstig beseer het en ‘n vrou glo verkrag het. Hy was vermoedelik ook verantwoordelik vir die verkragting van ‘n 22-jarige vrou in Du Plessisstraat.

Twee vas oor moord op plaasbestuurder

Twee mans, Papiki Mokoena en Eric Mthombeni wat van die moord op Sarel Janse van Rensburg op die plaas Froggy Pond in die Laersdrift-omgewing naby Dullstroom verlede Donderdag verdink word, is borgtog geweier en sal weer op 1 Oktober in die Middelburg Lanndroshof verskyn. Volgens provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Ronel Otto was Janse van Rensburg alleen op die plaas toe twee mans vermoedelik aangeloop gekom en hom vir werk en water gevra het. “Toe Janse van Rensburg in die huis ingaan het die mans hom agtervolg en oorval. Hy is glo met ‘n mes in die bors gesteek,” sê Otto. Hy is ook na bewering in die kop geskiet. Die mans het glo met ‘n geldtrommel en huishoudelike items gevlug waarna plaaswerkers hulle deur die veld gesien hardloop het en die polisie is ontbied. Tydens hul arrestasie is die geldtrommel in hul besit gevind. Mokoena is op borgtog uit na ‘n vroeëre voorval van huisbraak waartydens hy gearresteer is.

Alleged stock exchange fraudsters in court today

Lwandle Kevin Ndlovu and Marvel Thandazano Mathanda who stand accused of allegedly defrauding about 31 potential investors of R210 000 by offering to invest or trade on their behalf on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) will be back in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court today (Thursday). During their previous appearance the accused were denied bail as investigations continued. The arrest of Ndlovu and Mathanda is reportedly only the beginning of cracking open a bigger syndicate operating in the province. “Ndlovu and Mathanda were allegedly trading under company names, Stock Investment Trading and Marvelous Investments respectively. They allegedly claimed to be registered share or stock exchange brokers and would approach potential investors, especially government employees and offer to trade on their behalf at the JSE,” Police Spokesperson Ntobeng Phala said prior to their first appearance. It is further alleged that the accused would promise to sell their victims a software programme and some alleged stolen stock exchange material such as books which would allow and connect investors as clients to collect data from the JSE and enable them to buy and sell shares on their own. Their luck ran out when they tried to sell their bogus investment opportunity to Police officials pretending to be interested investors.

>> Capricorn District to partner with India on farming

Capricorn District Executive Mayor Gilbert Kganyago addresses the media conference on the trade visit to India. BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

apricorn District Executive Mayor Gilbert Kganyago has, upon his return from a weeklong mission to India, good news for farmers in the province. Kganyago was part of a local delegation that visited Mumbai, New Dehli, Dehra Dun and Surat with the purpose of strengthening economic ties and improve trade and investment relations between South Africa and India. The main aim was to outline investment opportunities in the agricultural sector that could be of interest to the business community in India. “Some of the main issues we agreed on during that visit include a need to forge cooperation on agriculture, integrated human settlement development projects, manufacturing and co-ops including innovative technologies that have socio-economic impact in terms of job creation and business support especially small and medium enterprises. We have learnt a lot about how they maximise the use of

land; how they produce food; how they train and capacitate small farmers and agricultural co-ops to create jobs and grow the economy. These are important lessons, especially for Capricorn where agriculture is one of the largest local economic sectors which contributes an average of 7% per annum to employment that is the principal source of income for many households. Despite its sporadic dwindling phases, this sector has survived many adverse climatic and economic storms and still led many of our people out of the morass of poverty,” Kganyago said when he addressed the media on Monday after his return to the province. Kganyago said that the main agricultural products produced within the Capricorn district are citrus, potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, beef, pork and maize and that the district has a potential for the most sought after Goa seed which is grown in India. “There is a huge potential to export some of these products to India. That will go a long way in exploring the full potential of the various sectors and create more jobs, reducing the 37% unemployment rate. It will also fight poverty, ensure food security and expand production of food, irrigation development and industrialisation of agriculture and manufacturing. CDM is ready to partner with the Department of Agriculture on agroprocessing of potatoes and tomatoes in the district, especially in Molemole and Blouberg where potential is huge. Economic growth and job creation are the cornerstones of our socio-economic development. The contribution of business in improving these elements is essential. We believe that partnership with India will help us grow the local economy and move Capricorn District forward,” Kganyago concluded.

Guests Jurie and Ria Vorster, Barry and Ansie Viljoen, Gil Litov, Shuki Klein, Hentie Reynolds and Cherel Janse van Rensburg at the gala dinner.

hile murder, attempted murder and robbery are on the increase in Limpopo according to the 2013/2014 crime statistics released on Tuesday, the city of Polokwane is also indicated as a hotspot for crimes such as common assault, theft of motor vehicle, theft out of motor vehicle, general theft, commercial crime and shoplifting. Statistics revealed that murder increased by 3,8% to 729 cases reported compared to 702 in 2013 while robbery with aggravating circumstances increased by 31,6% and attempted murder by 5,6% for the same period. Seshego, Thohoyandou, Mankweng, Lebowakgomo and Maake were identified as flashpoints for murder. A decrease in contact crimes was recorded. Sexual offences decreased by 0,7%, while assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm (7,8%), common assault (5,4%) and common robbery (3,8%) also declined to reflect a total decrease of 1,2% or 38 064 contact crime cases reported for the past financial year in Limpopo. Provincial Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola was joined by MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana during the presentation of the crime statistics. Crime statistics Compared to the national statistics Limpopo is the second safest province in the country. “Drug related crimes increased by 27,6% which is a positive aspect according to Masemola as it shows that Police is out there confiscating drugs and busting dealers. In the category for other serious crimes which include shoplifting, commercial crimes and other crimes not mentioned in the various categories Limpopo saw an increase of 1,9% while property related crimes which include burglary at residential and non-residential property, stock theft and theft of vehicles and from vehicles increased by 10,2%. “Electrical appliances, laptops, cell phones and television sets remain a favourite among thieves and burglars. “In the category for business robbery the most common places to be robbed are spaza shops owned by foreign nationals. In most business robbery incidents perpetrators found their way through the roofs of buildings,” Masemola said. He advised people to hide valuable items or better not to leave items in their vehicles and warned farmers to ensure the branding of all stock in order to claim them back once stolen. In 2010 and 2014 the most cases of peaceful protest were recorded at 1 311 and 1 153 respectively while 2013 and 2014 saw the most violent protests at 93 and 135 cases respectively. Farm murders A document compiled by the Transvaal Agricultural Union (TAU) and submitted to the Human Rights Commission’s recent national hearing on farm murders indicated that 1 734 farm murders and 3 341 farm attacks were reported since 1990 until 2014. An analysis of farm murder victims made by TAU showed a total of 50 people being white farmers (29), black farmers (1), wife or direct family (12), black farm workers (4) and white visitors to the farm (4) were murdered in 2014 alone. TAU South Africa Assistant General Manager, Chris van Zyl stated that the current situation can be improved by considering redefining the issue of rural safety to ensure alignment with the original intention of focusing on farm attacks and agricultural related crimes. He further cited improvement can be achieved by ensuring sufficient resources; a higher degree of sensitivity regarding land claims which causes tremendous uncertainty among farmers; the introduction of a decentralised crime intelligence capability; closer cooperation between Police, security companies and community policing forums and the increased visibility of crime prevention authorities through all hours of the day. Masemola stated that no separate statistics for farm murders exist or are included in the category for murders. “Police regularly patrol rural areas, including farms across the province. We however have a challenge of access to farms as gates are normally locked, but we can assure farmers that we are doing our best

polokwane

to protect the farming community,” he said. Convictions on sexual offences In the 2013/2014 financial year 1 559 years imprisonment were ruled by courts while 37 life sentences were issued. The number of years imprisonment suspended for sexual offences totalled 176 years and six months while R34 200 worth of fines were issued. Masemola urged victims of any criminal activity to work closely with the Police. “There is a trend among people to be scared of coming forward with information that might lead to the arrest of the perpetrator. “There was also a rumour that the tip-off line of the Police is not treated as confidential and anonymous but we can assure the safety and anonymity of any person who provides information through the tip-off line. In some cases we need people willing to appear in court to testify as evidence in order to ensure a successful prosecution,” Masemola said.

RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com Afrikaanse rolprentliefhebbers kan nou reeds uitsien na volgende jaar wanneer Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) weer ‘n rolprent onder die sterre gaan aanbied nadat die onlangse aanbieding van Pad na jou hart ‘n groot sukses was. Hoofkarakters van die rolprent, Ivan Botha en Donnalee Robberts het die aand bygewoon waar ongeveer 850 mense die projek met een doel voor oë bygewoon het; om Afrikaanse rolprente te ondersteun.

Die twee bekende akteurs het reeds vroegoggend die skool besoek om bewusmaking onder leerders te kweek om Afrikaanse rolprente te ondersteun.

Lebogo out on bail RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

hile shooting victim and African National Congress (ANC) Milo Malatjie Branch Chairperson, Boy Mamabolo is recuperating well in hospital, a slight sense of tension was tangible among Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and ANC supporters after the second court appearance of former municipal councillor and businessman Jacob Lebogo. He stands accused of allegedly shooting and injuring at least four people during a social gathering at Waterland last Sunday. Mediclinic Limpopo Client Service Manager Istha McMillan confirmed on Tuesday evening that Mamabolo has been transferred to a general ward and is no longer in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). “He is recuperating well,” she said. After the court hearing in which Lebogo who faces charges of attempted murder and discharging of a firearm in a public space was granted

R5 000 bail after spending two days behind bars, media houses and supporters of both parties gathered in front of the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court awaiting Lebogo’s exist. ANC supporter, Lazzi Ledwaba said Mamabolo supporters are not happy with the bail amount but they believe that the justice system will prevail. “We are here in support of our leader who was brutally attacked and we wish him a speedy recovery,” he said. During the court proceedings state prosecutor, Jackson Mabasa proposed a R10 000 bail amount but Lebogo’s attorney Tumi Mokwena responded by saying that Lebogo earns only R30 000 profit from his businesses and can only afford R5 000. He further said Lebogo has cooperated with the investigating officer and is also willing to hand his passport to him.

ANC supporter Lazzi Ledwaba addresses the media outside the court after the hearing.

Magistrate Anne van der Merwe granted a R5 000 bail on condition that Lebogo hands his passport to the investigating officer, not interfere or threaten state witnesses, not commit any other offence and inform the investigating officer should he leave Polokwane at any stage and reason. He will appear in court again on 14 November.

Bemarkingsbestuurder van Mall of the North, René van der Merwe sê die 70 inskrywings sal in die uitgawe van 26 September en 3 Oktober in Beeld gepubliseer word. “Die stemlyn sluit op 10 Oktober en slegs die vyftien paartjies met die meeste stemme dring na die eindrondte deur wat van 23 tot 26 Oktober plaasvind,.” “Die egpaar sal die

naweek aan verskeie aktiwiteite deelneem waartydens die beoordelaars en organiseerders op die paartjies se spanwerk asook die eienskappe wat hulle ‘n unieke paartjie maak, beoordeel sal word,” sê Van der Merwe. Die wenner word op 1 November tydens ‘n gala-aand aangekondig waarvan besonderhede later sal verskyn. Die Bruidskou vind vanaf 26 Oktober tot 2 November in Mall of the North plaas. Van der Merwe moedig die bruidspare aan om soveel moontlik stemme te werf omdat R150 000 en ‘n nuwe Volkswagen Polo Tsi op die spel is.

Beskerm jou hart... en jou beursie met Hartbewustheidsmaand Ongeveer 130 hartaanvalle en 240 beroertes vind daagliks in SuidAfrika plaas volgens die Hart- en Beroertestigting. Statistieke toon dat 1 uit 3 Suid-Afrikaanse volwassenes hoë bloeddruk het, een van die grootste oorsake van hartaanvalle en beroertes. “Daar is verskeie leefstylkeuses wat jy kan uitoefen om jou risiko van hartsiektes te verminder, maar bitter min mense is finansieel voorbereid om ’n ernstige gesondheidsterugslag te hanteer,” sê Willem Barnard van Sanlam. “Mense begaan die fout om te dink dat ’n goeie mediese fonds voldoende is vir beskerming teen die finansiële implikasies van kardiovaskulêre siektes en is geneig om te vergeet van die indirekte koste wat met ’n hartaanval en beroerte sowel as die herstel daarna, gepaardgaan. Moontlik sal jy ’n tyd lank nie kan werk nie, afhangende van hoe ernstig jou toestand is en hoe lank die hersteltydperk is. In sommige gevalle het pasiënte maande nodig om te herstel, en die verlies aan inkomste kan finansieel verpletterend wees – veral as jy die hoofbroodwinner is,” sê Barnard. Miskien het jy ook uitgebreide terapie nodig en moet reiskoste na en vanaf die hospitaal of ’n

sorgsentrum aangaan indien jy nie self kan bestuur nie. “Gevreesde siekte-dekking, wat ’n enkelbedrag by diagnose betaal, kan baie help om reiskoste te dek asook die koste van behandelings wat nie deur jou mediese fonds gedek word nie. Inkomstebeskerming sal jou gesin help om kop bo water te hou terwyl jy siek is. Inkomstebeskermingsdekking betaal ’n maandelikse bedrag indien jy tydelik nie kan werk nie en sal jou hele salaris of ’n deel daarvan vervang. Dit kan ook gebruik word om huishoudelike uitgawes en ander finansiële verpligtinge na te kom totdat jy weer kan begin werk.” Met die regte dekking in plek kan almal gemoedsrus hê en kans kry om op herstel te fokus. “Gesels met ’n finansiële adviseur wat jou kan help uitwerk hoeveel dekking jy nodig het en aandag kan gee aan enige leemtes in jou finansiële beplanning. So ‘n professionele persoon kan jou help om die beste opsies vir jou besondere behoeftes en persoonlike begroting te kies.” Pas jou hart op, maar maak seker dat jy dekking het.

Alarmingly low blood stock levels

ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com

Blood shortages throughout the country have reached crisis levels and the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) urges businesses and individuals to either host a blood drive or donate blood prior to going on holiday. Communications Manager of SANBS, Vanessa Raju said the month of September is traditionally a difficult time owing to preliminary school exams and preparations towards the final quarter of the year and as a result blood drives at schools and universities are generally not possible. “This, together with poor turnouts at company’s and organisational blood drives has placed immense pressure on the blood stock lever,” she said and added that service needs to maintain a blood stock level of five days at all times by collecting at least 3 000 units of blood per day to meet the demand of the thousands of patients who are reliant on blood transfusions for their survival. “SANBS works on a six week forecast and at the moment we only have two days of blood stock available and we are concerned that should this continue we are looking at a major crisis as we head towards the Festive Season,” Raju said. She added that it is only

with the assistance of the selfless blood donors that they are able to continue the service. “We have implemented a cut-back approach where we are not able to meet the full request by doctors. What this means is that should a doctor request four units of blood, SANBS may only be able to offer two units. This approach will continue until blood stock recovers.” Raju added that SANBS encourage all regular donors and those who have made a conscious decision to join this cause of saving lives not to miss their next donation date. To find out where you nearest blood donor centre is, SMS your name and the postal code of the area you live in to 31454 and an address of the nearest centre will be send to you. To qualify to donate you have to be between 16 and 65 years old, weigh more than 50 kg, lead a sexually safe lifestyle and be in good health.

>> High level intervention in African National Congress Youth League (Ancyl) conference processes >> Processes have bearing on hosting of provincial, national conferences to be held YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com

onday’s high level intervention to resolve issues arising from branch general meeting (BGM) processes of the African National Congress Youth League (Ancyl) in regions of the province is apparently expected to speed up a provincial elective conference supposed to be held before the national structure is destined to meet to elect a new leadership. It was learnt that the national leadership of the ANC sent representation to meet with the Ancyl provincial task team (PTT) in Polokwane on Monday to attend to issues that mainly persisted in the Mopani, Waterberg and Sekhukhune regions of the Ancyl. The processes have a bearing on the hosting of the provincial and national conferences to be held. The national structure is expected to elect a leadership after its disbandment in March 2013. According to information both structures would need to meet before December. Polokwane Observer was told the team was meeting with league representatives in Limpopo, North West, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. Ancyl PTT Coordinator Mosa Chabane confirmed the meeting with a delegation led by ANC Deputy Secretary General Jessie Duarte. They were unable to discuss the matter further as they had to await a statement to be issued by the

delegation, he stressed. No disputes were lodged during the BGM processes of the Ancyl in Peter Mokaba region that concluded six weeks ago, indicated its Chairperson Castro Modiba. Ninety branches of the youth league in the region qualified to send delegates to the provincial and national conferences of the structure, all awaiting a directive with regards to resources, Modiba explained. He spoke to Polokwane Observer after a lecture celebrating the 70th anniversary of the national structure on Monday evening. Members and supporters of the structure met for addresses by ANC national spokesperson Zizi Kodwa and former Ancyl Provincial leader Joe Mathebula in Polokwane. Modiba referred to both leaders raising the issue of militancy not to be confused with ill discipline and needing to avoid a repeat of factors that led to the initial disbandment of the structure. The message shared with the youth was one of the evolvement of the structure and championing the interests thereof. In the meantime the ANC in Peter Mokaba Region is heading for an elective conference supposed to have taken place this weekend but the event was postponed for BGMs to be re-run and another date to be decided on. African National Congress Youth League (Ancyl) supporters of Peter Mokaba Region dance to revolutionary songs while awaiting the arrival of their leaders to address a lecture commemorating the 70th anniversary of the structure.

Mike Tauatsoala, Head of Communications at Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA) told Polokwane Observer on Tuesday that the Lekgalameetse, D’ Nyala, Makuya, Hlakula and Doorndraai nature reserves enjoyed huge turnouts. “We are excited with the attendance. The number has increased compared to the previous year. We were under 300 last year and we view the hosting of this initiative as not only exposing citizens and locals to what the provincial resorts have to offer but also building brand ambassadors and instilling a culture of travel within our own people,” Tauatsoala said.

A view of Capricorn District Municipality’s soon to be operational water quality laboratory at the University of Limpopo.

CDM’s water quality lab almost complete >> District’s drinking water can now be tested >> Also for use by students BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com The construction of a water quality laboratory for testing drinking water at the University of Limpopo (UL) is nearly complete and Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) is currently finalising the installation of equipment and instruments to render it ready for use. The laboratory will be used by CDM to test drinking water and wastewater samples and by UL’s students for experiential training and research purposes. According to CDM Media Liaison Officer, Moffat Senyatsi, construction started in 2011 after the two parties signed an agreement in terms of which the university will provide land for the facility and CDM will provide the capital injection for the project. At the sod-turning ceremony, Principal and Vice-chancellor of the university, Mahlo

Mokgalong said the project will add growth in infrastructure for the benefit of the students, CDM and the people. The laboratory will save resources and conclude decades of travelling long distances to Gauteng for water and wastewater samples testing at an accredited laboratory. The laboratory will employ advanced technological equipment that will be used by qualified personnel to perform analysis and produce accurate and credible results that will indicate a clear picture of the compliance levels of the water supplied to the residents, and making informed decisions whether residents are vulnerable to water-borne diseases or not, Mokgalong reportedly said. CDM is currently recruiting qualified personnel like a chief chemist (laboratory head), laboratory analysts for both Microbiology and Chemistry and a laboratory administrator to get the laboratory running before the end of this financial year. The Municipality has also appointed the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research to assist with the accreditation process by the South African National Accreditation System.

The guests were entertained by Mahuma Arts and Communications group who performed an educating and humoristic show on what RAF stands for and how to log a claim. Representatives from Polokwane Provincial Hospital and Mangweng Hospital also delivered messages of support before the delegation, under the leadership of Watson, proceeded to cut the ribbon.

ridging the gap, optimising service delivery and building a solid customer-centric base is the vision of the Road Accident Fund (RAF) in the coming years. This is according to RAF Chief Executive Officer, Eugene Watson who said the fund has embarked on a major initiative to expand its geographic footprint, an initiative which will eventually see RAF offices located in all nine provinces, enabling the organisation to service crash victims directly, expedite the claim process and enhance the overall operational performance during the official opening of the RAF offices in Polokwane. “Crash victims can expect our staff to provide the highest standards of care to claimants, whilst espousing the principles of mutually shared values and delivering community focussed solutions,” Watson said. “In the past financial year, 21% of the total RAF claims payment of R22 billion was spent on legal fees. The past month saw three big accidents in Limpopo and I am proud to say that by sunrise RAF officials knew all the details about the accidents,” Watson said and added that road safety and crashes matter because it affects the whole community. He indicated that things have changed in the past three years and said not only will RAF open an office in every province, but they will also create a blueprint of what they do. “RAF never interacted with the community and this has also changed,” he said.

Biggest Loozer Contenders BIGGESTLOOZER 2014 This week we again focus on two of our contenders in Body Life’s Biggest Loozer

Competition 2014. We asked them what their “secrets” are and what has kept them motivated up to this point. These people are busy putting in the work every day and it definitely shows! This is what some of them had to say….

Morne Du Plessis

Louisa Tleane

Morne says the main thing he started doing was to cut out all junk food, soda drinks and takeaways and he doesn’t eat anything that has been deep fried.

Louisa has lost 19.1 kg so far in the Body Lifes Biggest Loozer Competition. She is such an inspiration to watch in the gym. She gives her best while training and is not afraid to try something new. This is what she had to say about where her motivation comes from: “The support from my husband and the competition itself encourages me to do well. My husband takes good care of our family and even cooks for me and the kids. Ever since I started with the competition, he has encouraged me and motivated me. Really what one gains from eating fatty and junk food, is nothing but fat, fat and lots of fat.

He is trying to eat whole foods and nothing processed. He has implemented daily activity into his life, whether it is going for a walk or a session at the gym, as long as he incorporates a daily activity into his routine, and the discipline of doing it is what he needed. He has lost 15.6 kg so far in the competition and in the meantime also suffered the death of a relative. He said he is going to put all his effort into this and we are supporting him all the way.

“I always read some notes pasted on the wall at gym which says you won’t see the result overnight but things are changing. At first I couldn’t believe it, but have now realised that there is indeed a change in my body. Now I have realised that through hard work, dedication and belief in yourself the almighty God will guide you to conquer everything you want to achieve.

Tommies get doused for Joost Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

he under 17 rugby team of Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé were doused with 300 litres of icy water from the carrier of an excavator on Thursday when the school held its Ice Bucket Challenge. The challenge, lately taken up by celebrities and ordinary people around the country,

aims to create awareness about motor neuron (MS) disease following former Springbok rugby captain Joost van der Westhuizen contracting the disease and his condition deteriorating. Van der Westhuizen, diagnosed in 2011, is at present confined to a wheelchair. MS destroys parts of the nervous system that control essential activities such as speaking, walking, breathing and swallowing. Sport coordinator at the school, Kobus de Meyer said they challenge all the schools that took part in the recent KIA Bosveld Rugby tournament, Hoërskool Pietersburg, Northern Academy, Elisras, Frans du Toit and Merensky to take part in the initiative and create more awareness.

Katte vergiftig Ek en my man woon in Bendor Gables in Bendor. Verlede week het iemand in die kompleks een van ons kattekinders, Parker vergiftig. Die bestuur het in die verlede briewe aan die inwoners gestuur om te vra dat katte snags binnenshuis gehou word en dat hulle naels gesny moet word sodat hulle nie mense se motors beskadig nie. Ons het getrou by die reëls gehou, maar Parker is helder oordag vergiftig. Ons huishulp het my ontsteld by die werk geskakel en gesê ek moet dadelik kom, Parker is naar en het diarree. Ek het dadelik huis toe gejaag, maar dit was reeds te laat. Die veearts beweer dat Temik (Two Step)gif met tuna gemeng Parker se dood veroorsaak het. Volgens my inligting is die besit en die aankoop van Temik sedert 2012 onwettig. Ons ander katte word nou bedags in die huis toegemaak uit vrees dat hulle ook vergiftig sal word. Parker was die liefdevolste jong katjie. Dit is uiters ontstellend dat daar mense is wat

dink dat die aarde net aan hulle behoort en dat hulle daarom kan uitroei, doodmaak en vergiftig na willekeur. Deel ons nie die planeet met alle ander lewe nie, of het mense alleen die reg tot lewe op aarde? Wat ŉ uiterste vorm van selfsug. Mense wat diere vergiftig en mishandel behoort in die openbaar ontbloot te word as harteloos en onmenslik. Sou iemand voortgaan om katte in die kompleks te vergiftig, sit ons later met ŉ rotprobleem wat weer tot ‘n slangprobleem lei. Wat van ons kinders se veiligheid? Slange kan ŉ wesentlike probleem word, aangesien ons naby oop velde is. Ek sou verkies dat die persoon eerder kom sê het dat Parker ‘n oorlas is. Ons sou beslis ‘n plan gemaak het, maar ongelukkig is katte nie diere wat ingeperk kan word nie. Hulle is nie gebonde aan huise, erwe of tuine nie.

Ons Huis se inwoners dankbaar vir komberse ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com Sakke vol gehekelde komberse wat Vrydag aan die inwoners van Polokwane Nasorgsentrum vir Verstandelike Gestremdes geskenk is, het die sowat 32 inwoners se gesigte gou-gou opgehelder en met dankbaarheid vervul. Die komberse is deel van die Hervormde Gemeente Welgelegen-Pietersburg se reuse kombersprojek wat uit 587 kleiner komberse bestaan en deur die gemeente aan sorgafhanklikes en bejaardes in die gemeenskap uitgedeel word. ‘n Lidmaat van die kerk, Bennie Viljoen sê die gemeentelede het egter nie

hul ywer om steeds komberse te hekel, laat vaar nie. “Entoesiaste is nog volstoom besig. Namens die leraar van die gemeente, Henk Joubert is ons dankbaar dat ons in die genade wat soos klitsgras vassit, kan deel.” Viljoen sê die projek het onstaan nadat Joubert gesien het hoe bejaardes met net handdoeke oor hul knieë die koue probeer trotseer. Die voorsitter van Ons Huis, Baksteen Heunis sê daar is tans 17 inwoners en 15 dagbesoekers in die sentrum. “Die geskenkte komberse is dikwels hul enigste. Die kerk doen ongelooflik baie vir die sentrum en die gemeenskap en ons bedank hulle opreg vir hul volgehoue ondersteuning.”

return from a journey on the dusty streets of downtown Pietersburg to the demanding pace of the Polokwane of today, accompanied by the vivid image of a man who captured cultures with a device made from wood. Potgieter can be reached on extonproject@ gmail.com.

YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com A conversation with Polokwane-based heritage consultant Henriet Potgieter allows for stepping back into an era when the late Hugh Exton touched lives with the photographs he produced of sitters that represented the cultures of a Pietersburg of yonder years. The rich legacy Exton left behind forms the basis for research Potgieter has been engaged in since 2009 that is aimed at depicting the importance of his collection as cultural treasure – both nationally and internationally – as well as create awareness of the space dedicated to displaying the gift he bestowed on future generations. Potgieter explains she has been involved with the Hugh Exton museum as specialist from 1986 to 1991 until she and her husband went to live in the Netherlands. Aptly the vast photographic collection Exton produced is being housed in a restored church tucked away on the one side of City Square. It has served as a shop store room in the Twenties, a structure that dates back to 1890 and nowadays it is considered the oldest remaining building in Polokwane, Potgieter says. Acquainted with the estimated 24 000 glass negatives in eight different sizes which he produced through the use of a wooden camera reserved for studio shots and more mobile options on tripod for outside shoots, Potgieter shares her rendition of the logistics Exton had to endure to produce the high quality photographs. Each sketches a typical genre highlighted by dress sense, hairstyles and poses reminiscent of the period 1892 to 1945 when Exton worked professionally from a studio on what is still known as Vorster Street which is Thabo Mbeki Street in modern day Polokwane. Exton sold the studio in 1945 when he turned 81, she adds. She describes the glass negatives collection as the single biggest continuous collection of photographs of people from one geographical area. Through the photographs the course of history could be traced, she says. Although a photo is a moment in time, one could draw conclusions from the visuals without necessarily being correct with the assumptions, Potgieter reckons. This gives rise to her intending to involve the community in possibly identifying forebears captured in the images in an attempt to fill in gaps that could exist in the fascinating history of a city that has evolved from the contributions made by the likes of those whom Exton photographed. “I am busy with a big puzzle of which the pieces will later all fit together and get an image of how a city is born from nothing.” At a time when the rest of the country was engulfed in a wave of apartheid Exton worked as an apolitical photographer who had a social conscience and empathy with his sitters, a notion that gave his work specific visual appeal. Potgieter reckons many of his photos are of international importance and that his photography is representative of what others produced abroad at the time. It was also indicative of the quality of life he maintained in the Pietersburg of the past. She references a piece of writing Exton did in 1950, mentioning the prosperity of his studio and the town he made home far from the Cape where he hailed from. Ironically it was far from the soil he adopted where his work got a voice in an exhibition titled “Apartheid and After” presented by Huis Marseille Museum For Photography in Keizersgracht in Amsterdam from March to June this year. The exhibition and a book, published in conjunction, included the work of other South African photographers of the likes of David Goldblatt. It followed an inclusion of Exton’s work in the Umhlaba 1913 – 2013 exhibition that ran in Cape Town and Johannesburg throughout last year, Potgieter indicates. In both instances the work of Exton was made available by the Polokwane Museums under

The Hub currently has 46 stores across the country. “The support we have received since the doors opened was phenomenal,” Steenekamp said. He explained that the Savannah Mall branch will be the flagship in Limpopo, bringing a new culture to the city, and added that a branch for Tzaneen is possibly in the pipeline. Regional Visual Manager, Vinay Singh said The Hub caters for the whole family and clothing for men, women, children and babies, cosmetic ware, electrical equipment and house ware are on offer at competitive prices.

A healthy nutritious snack ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com For the past ten months, Stephen Ngoasheng from Seshego has been making a living selling dried mopani worms, a popular delicacy on the streets of southern Africa, in the city. Ngoasheng said he buys the worms from a trader in Botswana and takes home about R2 000 per months. “The dried mopani worms are very good for you. They are rich in protein and can be eaten as a snack or as part of a dish. It is very popular among the people,”

he said. These worms are part of the staple diet in rural areas and considered a delicacy in the cities. The worm is the large caterpillar of the Gonimbrasia belina species, commonly called the emperor moth. It is known as a mopane worm because it is found chomping the leaves of mopane trees after it hatches in summer. It has also burrowed its way into literature, for example, onto the pages of Alexander McCall Smith’s series about The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, set in Botswana. They can be eaten dry, as crunchy as potato chips, or cooked

and drenched in sauce. The mopane worm is a healthful and cheap source of nutrition. According to a Zimbabwean, Marlon Chidemo the worms are high in healthy nutrients and contain three times the amount of protein as beef. He says eating worms is less taxing on the environment than consuming beef because it takes far fewer leaves to produce worms than it does feed to produce the same amount of beef. Stephen Ngoasheng sells this nutritious snack on the streets of Polokwane.

Suzuki Splash makes waves in the hatchback segment RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

uzuki Auto South Africa added the versatile, zippy and affordable Suzuki Splash hatchback to its local line-up and would soon be available at Suzuki Polokwane. The Suzuki Splash joins an already extensive range of Suzuki passenger cars, MPVs and SUVs on offer and will boost demand of the brand’s products even further. The Suzuki Splash consists of a compact footprint, tall roofline, comparatively long wheelbase and short overhangs which create a surprisingly spacious and practical interior. While practicality and versatility are important aspects of the Suzuki Splash design, aesthetic appeal hasn’t been compromised. The Suzuki Splash’s compact exterior dimensions benefit manoeuvrability in tight spaces such as shopping centre parking lots, while also ensuring wieldy handling. The front view is dominated by large headlight clusters, while a slim upper grille and larger lower air intakes add a purposeful expression. From the rear the almost vertical tailgate adds a cheeky touch, emphasised by the pronounced tail light clusters. The cabin of the new Suzuki Splash reflects its youthful personality, while also adding comfort, style and versatility to the equation.

>> Frugal 1,2 litre engine ensures zesty dynamics and low comsumption

Photos: Internet

The new Suzuki Splash is soon to be launched at Suzuki Polokwane.

Boosted by the high roofline, the impression of space is particularly impressive with ample legroom and headroom to provide seating for five adults. The extended roofline is a key feature of the new Suzuki Splash. It allows the seating positions to be raised which benefits all-round visibility while it also means that the doors are larger for convenient entry and exit. The front seats have been sculpted for

additional comfort and support while the rear bench seat offers three distinct seating positions and is split 60/40 for modular extension of the cargo compartment when necessary. The layout of the controls and instruments places the emphasis on user-friendly ergonomics with a single, large analogue speedometer positioned directly ahead of the driver. Smart durable finishes create an upmarket

ambience. The dashboard gets a charcoal textured finish (with metallic look detailing in GL models) while the seats are upholstered in durable, attractive cloth with contrasting inserts. All three models in the South African range are powered by the same 1,2 litre fourcylinder engine. The engine has a maximum output of 63 kW at 6 000 rpm combined with a torque peak of 113 Nm at 4 500 rpm. The powerplant has already proven its mettle in the Swift thanks to an admirable combination of zip and economy. The engine revs freely to ensure smooth, willing performance while gear ratios have been selected for an ideal compromise between response and economy. The standard transmission is a five speed manual gearbox but a four speed automatic transmission is also available. The manual accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 12,3 seconds and can reach a top speed of 160 km/h. The Suzuki Splash offers a comprehensive complement of safety and security features. All models are fitted with dual front airbags as standard together with side impact protection beams in the doors and inertia reel seatbelts for both the front and the two outer rear seats. Also standard across the range is Antilock Braking System (ABS). For information on the Suzuki Splash contact Suzuki Polokwane on 015 297 0140.

irvana was established in 1973 by the Pietersburg City Council on a portion of the Ivydale Agricultural Holdings and judging from the prosperity and well-being of the residents and business people of Nirvana, it is evident that it was an apt decision. Nirvana was originally established to accommodate members of the Indian community but due to the increased demand for more stands, the municipality facilitated further additions to the original town and Nirvana is now a “town” on its own which caters for the residents of Polokwane at large. The Motor City development at the city’s southern entrance forms the focal point of Nirvana’s new formal business district and has attracted a number of related businesses. Following Nirvana, Superbia was proclaimed as a light industrial extension and has, due to rezoning and further development, taken its place next to Nirvana with more shops and businesses to complement the western business district. The shops and businesses of the Nirvana/ Superbia area cater for a diverse group of clients and businesses like Mercurius Motors, Paint Pot, Buco Hardware, Poolserve, Top T Hardware and Auto Sound and Alarms and a host of other flourishing concerns make it unnecessary to look any further.

investment option,” Goslett advised. He noted that the initial decisions made in the first stages of purchasing a rental property will largely influence that property’s potential. The bond repayments will not be the only expense, meaning that a buyer will also need to consider aspects such as renovations that are required, as well as the maintenance and levies of the property in order to discern an investment’s viability. This should be taken into account before the property is purchased. Sellers are required to list the known defects of the property, which will allow the investor to determine the possible initial outlay of purchasing the property and undertaking the necessary upgrades and repairing defects. This will help in assessing costs and weighing up the investment’s potential income after expenses. Goslett advised that if there are aspects that require further attention or anything that the investor is not sure of, they should consult with a qualified and reputable home inspector to avoid unforeseen costs. Managing the property When investing in a rental property it is important to decide who will manage the property. “Either the owner of the property can decide to manage the property themselves, which at times could be rather laborious or they can make use of a rental management agent. If the decision is to manage the property without professional assistance, it is important for the investor to relate to the property as a business venture and manage it accordingly. This would include keeping track of all expenses as well as the income generated. Legislation According to Goslett a vital aspect when considering purchasing a rental property is researching the laws that apply to rental agreements and the responsibility that falls onto a landlord. “Legislative changes that have come into play such as the Credit Amnesty Act, along with the proposed amendment to the Rental Housing Bill could bring about some significant changes in the rental market for both tenants and landlords,” Goslett said. Insurance and contingency Once an investor has purchased a rental property, they will need insurance to cover their liability, which can be done by speaking to a broker who will advise on the correct insurance needed for the type of rental property. This will prevent the landlord from having to find additional money to cover unexpected contingencies such as a burst geyser. Landlords should also remember that certain liabilities will not be covered by insurance, so it is advisable to have an emergency fund to cover these circumstances.

Taking her passion to new heights

Spacious family home that offers privacy and a lot of extras. Enclosed lapa ensures entertainment throughout the year, overlooking pool and garden. Separate entrance to 2 x 1 bedroom flats.

ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com When Simoné Schoeman, head girl at Merensky High School in Tzaneen, decided to turn her passion for photography into a business venture this young entrepreneur set herself on a winning path. Proof of her success is the fact that she was recently named the winner of Solidarity Helping Hand’s national competition for entrepreneurs. Simoné, one of five finalists, won R15 000 in prize money, a part of which she intends using to expand her business, Simoné Schoeman Photography. The school also benefits from her achievement as it also won R15 000 to be used for entrepreneurial development. Being voted the audience favourite put a further R1 000 in Simoné’s pocket. She said that, apart from the honour, winning the competition provides her with the ideal platform to develop her business. “A portion of the money will be used to purchase lenses for my camera while the other portion will go towards my BA Language and Culture studies in Stellenbosch.” Simoné explained that she intends taking photography as an additional subject. Mariné Jacobs, Media Liaison Officer at Solidariteit Helping Hand said in a media statement that Simoné, during her presentation to the judges, explained that her love for photography started in her childhood and said she recognised that this passion was an opportunity to be converted into a business. According to Jacobs she offers a variety of affordable packages, and believes that good customer service and a friendly approach during photo shoots set her apart from the competition. Joint second place in the competition went to Nico Brayshaw of Heilbron in the Free State and Mervyn Roos of Paarl in the Western Cape. Each received R8 000 to invest in their businesses. Nico’s business involves commercial trading in beef cattle as well as selling popcorn and fruit juice ice lollies while Mervyn trades in farm fresh eggs. “It was incredible to see such good business acumen among young people,” Annette Taljaard, Helping Hand’s psychometrist and organiser of the competition is quoted to have said in the media release. “The competitors have all performed so well and a bright future no doubt lies ahead for each one of them,” the statement read.

Lim Youth Orchestra strikes chord in Senegal ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com Jubilant voices of members of the Limpopo Youth Orchestra (LYO) echoed through the streets of Polokwane after an invite was received from the South African Embassy in Dakar for the orchestra to perform in Senegal’s celebrations of 20 years of democracy from 22 to 27 September. Founder and Managing Director of LYO, Simoné Aronje-Adetoye said it is the second time in less than a year that they will represent the province at an international event. “This tremendous opportunity for the children was made possible by funding from the

National Lotteries Board. This is the orchestra’s second international invitation to perform in under a year. They performed in Dublin, Ireland in December 2013,” she said and added that LYO is the only orchestra from Africa that was invited to perform at these celebrations. “Our members will be involved in various outreach programmes such as master classes, collaborations with local artists and ending the week off with tribute concerts to the late former president, Nelson Mandela in Dakar’s Grand Theatre.” Twenty-five students together with guest artists from Johannesburg left for Dakar on Monday. One of the LYO students, Refiloe Mokgalaka said she is very excited since this will be her first time travelling outside the country. “I intend to learn a lot about the culture of Senegal,” she excitedly said. Maritza van Niekerk, a Gr 10 learner from Hoërskool Pietersburg is not sure what awaits her on the other side, but could hardly contain her excitement. She said “I can’t wait to get there.” One of the teachers, Neo Thekiso said it is a great feeling and he hopes the food is nice. “There will be lots of cultural exchanges and sharing of music ideas,” he said. Regular updates about the tour can be viewed on the website on www.lyo.co.za or Facebook on https://www.facebook.com/pages/ Limpopo-Youth-Orchestra or on Twitter hash tag: @Limpopo Youth Orc.

he annual Oktoberfest presented by the German community of Polokwane assisted by the Rotary Club Pietersburg 100 provided a most entertaining evening of traditional German music and song, rounded off with fine ‘Deutsches Essen’ and drinks at Bolivia Lodge on Saturday. Die Frankenland Kapelle-band from Germany did not take long to have the patrons dancing on the tables while they cheered the music makers with the compulsory ‘Ein prosit, ein prosit, der gemütlichkeit’. Well known German songs like ‘Heidi’ and ‘In München steht ein hofbräuhaus’ contributed to the high spirits and guests could sing along. A superb meal of Kassler, Bockwurst, Sauerkraut, Kartoffelsalat and trimmings as well as coffee and Apfelkuchen rounded off the entertainment and provided new energy to the more adventurous who took to the dancing

Province’s premier golfers competing in Cape Town Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

impopo’s Premier Interprovincial golf team will be participating in the South African Golf Association Interprovincial Golf Tournament at the Westlake Golf Club in Cape Town that teed off on Monday and continues until tomorrow (Friday). Although the Limpopo team has competed in the tougher A-section before, the team will be participating in the B-section this year and are confident of a good performance. In order to qualify for the Limpopo team the players had to participate in the various open tournaments that were held throughout the year in the province. Points were allocated based on the golfers finish in each tournament and the top players on the order of merit qualified for the Limpopo team. Cameron Nesmith, Charles du Plessis, Nico Myburgh, Morné Myburgh, Stefan de Beer, Hennie du Plessis, Conrad van Baalen and Hilton Hughes make up the Limpopo team that will be managed by Jean Sadie. All of the players are amateurs and the Limpopo team is extremely grateful to their sponsors BB Galactic Auto and Brilliant

Roof Products for sponsoring their playing attire and the trip to Cape Town. The format for the tournament is match-play and Sadie said the team is

well-balanced with lots of experience in match-playing conditions. He is hoping Limpopo can win their section in order to gain promotion to the Asection the following year.

Brandon Lehmann droom oor plek in Springbokspan

>> Speel op laer- en hoërskool in eerste span >> ‘Fiksheid maak of breek ‘n speler’ RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

edert hy die eerste keer as bulletjie ‘n rugbybal vasgehou het, het Brandon Lehmann besef dat hy op die rugbyveld tuis is en ‘n loopbaan in dié sportsoort ‘n uitgemaakte saak is. Brandon, ‘n graad 12-leerder van Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé het sy staal op die rugbyveld gewys toe hy vroeër vanjaar gekies is om aan die o.18-Coca-Cola Akademieweek in Worcester deel te neem. Hy is onlangs ook vir die span gekies wat van 5 tot 7 Oktober aan die o.18 @lantic Sewes Cravenweek in Potchefstroom deelneem. “Ek het in Pietersburg Laerskool (PLS) bulletjierugby begin speel en my laerskooljare met trots afgesluit deur vir die skool se eerste span uit te draf. Sedert graad 8 is ek ‘n ywe-

rige Tommie Tier op die rugbyveld en is die afgelope twee jaar deel van die eerste span. Ek is ook verlede jaar vir die Sewes Bokkieweek gekies,” gesels Brandon. Sy bydrae op die veld is van groot waarde en hy is breëbors oor Tommies se oorwinning van hul eie sewes rugbytoernooi, wat onlangs op hul tuisveld aangebied is. Tommies het tydens die toernooi bo-aan die punteleer geëindig nadat hulle Hoërskool Merensky in ‘n taai eindstryd met 14-12 geklop het. Die veelsydige seun het boonop verlede naweek aan die Limpopo Skole Ringballiga deelgeneem waar Tommies hul staal gewys en verskeie tweede en derde plekke verower het. “Ek kan nie my liefde vir rugby aan iets toeskryf nie. Ek was nog altyd versot op kontaksport en rugby bly my eerste keuse. Van jongs af was dit ‘n passie en droom om goeie rugby te speel. Ek speel sedert laerskooldae skrumskakel, vleuel of senter. Skrumskakel is my gunsteling posisie omdat dit van my afhang hoe vinnig die bal by die agterlyn uitkom,” sê die gedugte speler wat die afgelope seisoen on-

Brandon Lehmann (17) se rugbyprestasies is merkwaardig en sy droom is om eendag in die groen en goud uit te draf.

geveer ses drieë vir sy span gedruk het. Die lekkerste oomblikke op die veld is wanneer jy oor die doellyn duik, jou opponent plattrek of volspoed met die bal onder die arm doellyn toe nael,” sê Brandon. Hy weet dat fiksheid onontbeerlik is om ‘n goeie spelpeil te handhaaf. “Veral in sewesrugby waar die helfte van jou spanmaats nie op veld is nie en die afstand doellyn toe dieselfde bly, moet ‘n man topfiks wees. Hoewel spiermassa ook ‘n pluspunt is, is dit fiksheid wat ‘n speler maak of breek,” sê Brandon. Hy oefen Maandae, Dinsdae en Donderdae by die skool waar die afrigters veral op fiksheid fokus. Voor ‘n wedstryd sorg hy dat hy goed opwarm om beserings te voorkom. “Ek weet rugby is ‘n hoë risikospel en beserings kom voor. Op my oudag sal ek dalk sukkel met ‘n pyn hier en daar, maar vir nou speel ek voluit. Dit is wat ek wil doen.”. Na skool wil Brandon sportwetenskappe aan die Noordwes Universiteit, Potchefstroomkampus studeer en sy pad opwerk na die groen en goud. Sy rugbyheld is Sharks-speler, Cobus Reinach.
