Police investigate the scene where the body of a suspected murdered man was found near the Market Street Bridge on Monday morning.
“Don’t scream. I don’t want your children to see this.” This is what the suspected hammer monster David Mamvura allegedly told one of his rape victims while covering her mouth with his hand during an attack in her house in Bodenstein Street in January. Little did she know that three months later her 13-year-old sister would have to look into the eyes of the same man, facing the same ordeal. Tammy* immediately phoned her father when she saw the photo of Mamvura in an article Polokwane Observer published last week. Mamvura had appeared in court and was positively linked to at least 15 cases of rape, To page 4

‘n Westenburg-inwo ner was sy motor in die massa water wat in die straat afvloei.
Inwoners raadop met gebarste waterpype RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com
P
olokwane se reservoirvlakke is kommerwekkend laag met twee van die opgaardamme wat bykans geen water het nie, terwyl die munisipaliteit se reaksietyd op gebarste pype veel te wense oorlaat. Intussen word duisende liter water in veral Westenburg onnodig vermors voordat gebarste pype herstel word. ‘n Kind wat glo Donderdagoggend op pad skool toe was, het in ‘n massiewe kolk beland wat op die sypaadjie in Winterstraat ontstaan het as gevolg van ‘n gebarste waterpyp waar duisende liter water vermors is volgens ‘n anonieme inwoner. Die inwoner se ma het glo ook groot skade nadat dieselfde watermassa oorkant die pad deur haar motorhuis by die sy-
deur van haar woning ingespoel en skade aan haar matte en vloere veroorsaak het. “Die pyp het Woensdag 19:00 begin lek en omstreeks 00:00 gebars. My ma het sedert 05:00 die volgende oggend die munisipaliteit geskakel. Teen 07:00 het hulle die eerste keer hier aangekom en weer gery,” sê sy. ‘n Kontrakteur het glo nie lank daarna nie opgedaag en die inwoners meegedeel hulle weet nie waar om die pyp toe te draai nie. Intussen het inwoners probeer keer dat water verdere skade aan hul eiendomme aanrig terwyl ander emmers geskep het vir eie gebruik. Sommige het selfs die geleentheid gebruik om hul motors en wasgoed in die straatrivier te was. Sedert Maandag het nie een van die drie munisipale woordvoerders op navrae gereageer nie.

Missing gym equipment OBSERVER 3 worth over R1 million discovered November 27, 2014
polokwane
WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com
G
ym equipment worth millions of Rand was discovered to have been left in storage since 2006 at the Limpopo Academy of Sport (LAS) offices when the National Assembly’s Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation paid a visit to the academy’s offices on Monday. Democratic Alliance (DA) member of the oversight committee, Solly Malatsi, who is also the Shadow Minister of Sport and Recreation in the National Assembly said the DA was shocked by the discovery of the much-needed gym equipment that
was bought in 2006 with National Lottery funds and has yet to be allocated to suitable recipients by LAS and the Limpopo Department of Sport, Arts and Culture. “It is completely unacceptable that gym equipment that could be of great use to emerging athletes in Limpopo has been dumped in a storage facility for almost a decade without use,” Malatsi said in a DA media statement released on Monday. Acting Head of Department, Mabakane Mangena said the sport equipment had been in storage at LAS until officials could decide who would be worthy recipients of the
equipment. Mangena continued that with the possible disbandment of LAS and the replacement with the Limpopo Sport Confederation, no management structures were in place to allocate the equipment to the necessary sporting codes that would benefit from the use of the equipment. Mangena said officials from the departmnet have committed to relocating the gym equipment to Capricorn High School for the benefit of athletes affiliated to LAS on or before 30 March 2015. Malatsi said the DA will monitor the situation to ensure that the department meets the scheduled deadline next year.

Ticket scam at stadium
OBSERVER
From page 1 Secretary Simon Mathe told Polokwane Observer this week. At that moment the unit was apparently engaged in investigations following up on leads supplied by Samwu on alleged price inflation at a parastatal in Limpopo, he said. According to the evidence at their disposal the alleged scam had apparently been operated from within Polokwane Municipality by a top official and a junior employee since 2011, Mathe disclosed. He further divulged that they have received information from individuals at the helm of the respective business concerns about the alleged sale of sets of complimentary tickets for suites at the stadium at a cost of R18 000 or R19 000 per match for which money seemingly had to be deposited into the junior official’s bank account in return. The case is one of several receiving attention from Samwu. Mathe indicated Samwu in Limpopo had been quiet for too long and that it was high time they exposed issues that bothered for some time. Speaking to Polokwane Observer on the eve of the union’s eighth provincial congress at Bela-Bela this week, Mathe referred to an unrelated matter of conduct of Polokwane Municipality officials posing to be problematic to the union. He alleged that officials within the municipality resorted to questionable disciplinary processes against those known for their alliance to Samwu. The union is questioning what it
regards as unlawful suspension of a manager in the municipality last week for alleged failure to submit a monthly report. The same counted for two traffic department officials seemingly haphazardly suspended two to three months back for alleged fraud and corruption in May last year while the delayed action against them was not followed up with investigation reports. To Samwu it seemed as though politics of the ruling party informed the suspensions, he added. Another matter that required attention related to financial products offered by a reputable countrywide corporate at a favourable interest rate exclusively to Samwu members, he indicated. According to him requests for deductions from member’ salaries to meet the obligations as per service level agreement entered into had been met by all municipalities across the province but Polokwane Municipality, despite Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng giving an undertaking that she would have it resolved. Mathe claimed that officials at middle to top management level within the municipality allegedly lent money to subordinates at an astronomical interest rate and the submission for stop orders against salaries for the particular products by the service provider was seen to bring to an end a lucrative practice. At the same time Mathe referred to Samwu in the province having instructed the union’s lawyers to file for a contempt of court order against Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) MEC Makoma Makurupetje, Greater Tzaneen Municipality, its
acting Municipal Manager and Director of Planning and Economic Development respectively if not complying with two Labour Court orders issued on 18 November by end of business on Tuesday. In terms of the court orders, of which copies were provided to Polokwane Observer, the acting officials were interdicted from continuing to act in the positions exceeding the specified period of extension. Mathe emphasised that the initial court orders, for which applications were brought a week prior, had been ignored. He indicated Samwu in the province was at the same time dismayed by reports of alleged intimidation against their shop stewards based on the court order. The union was waiting for a date for an engagement with the ruling party at provincial level after recently raising certain concerns with them, it was learnt. A memorandum with 12 grievances dated Friday contains demands, including the implementation of the court orders with immediate effect and serves as additional documentation provided in this regard. The memorandum demands urgent intervention as Greater Tzaneen Municipality “is on the verge of collapsing”. The document elaborates on, among others, alleged inflated contract amounts and terms as well as a Council decision for the purchase of a vehicle for the Speaker of close to half a million in May this year at a time of financial instability. In her comment, Polokwane Municipality Marketing and Communications Manager Tidimalo Chuene said the issues raised had been

noted and would be forwarded to the Municipal Manager’s Office and Director of Corporate Services for feedback expected towards the end of the week. Comment from Coghsta and Greater Tzaneen Municipality is still awaited.
Sisters’ ordeal at hands of monster From page 1 robbery, assault and attempted murder. “My family visited me that evening and when my sister saw his face she immediately identified him as the man who allegedly raped her in March,” Tammy said in an exclusive interview. During Tammy’s ordeal her iPhone, iPad and laptop were stolen. “The incident was reported to the Police but I also conducted my own investigation by tracing my iPhone. Some of my friends went to a nearby house where the phone was found in possession of a Zimbabwean man who said he bought it from another Zimbabwean man,” she said, adding that the Police were called to the scene where a man was allegedly arrested on the Saturday. On Monday when her father, Samuel*wanted to see the man at the Police holding cells he was informed that the man had been released. Samuel confirmed that Police told him that the suspect was no longer being held. “As a fighting woman I never felt as helpless as that night when he raped me. I just shut down and wanted it to be over. I became depressed and with no proper investigation into the case I just gave up,” Tammy said. During the incident with Samuel’s youngest daughter, Liza*in March, the alleged rapist is suspected to have spent a lot of time searching the family home in Devenish Street before waking Liza. “I made your parents sleep. There is no point in screaming,” she recalled him saying. “We were five people in the house and not one woke up. He got in through a window after cutting the burglar bars. He knew exactly what was in the house. He woke Liza and told her about the safe in my room and that he needed the key. He knew what type of cell phone everyone in the house had and made it clear he was not interested in her cousin’s (who was also in the house) older model phone,” Samuel said. Liza’s plan was to get him to Samuel’s room to show him the key to the safe, but he wouldn’t agree. He then raped her and left with two cell phones and a laptop. A case was opened at the Police but later closed as no one could be linked to either incident nor were any arrests made. “I was also called to attend an identification parade with my daughter, but when I arrived at the Police station I was told the investigating officer was occupied in a workshop and I should return the following week. The following week I was informed the investigating officer was on leave which resulted in no parade being held,” Samuel said. “Tammy was informed by an investigating officer that Mamvura has been positively linked to her case via DNA. I am currently in the process of consulting with the investigating officer to reopen the case of Liza. Since the article reported that the man was arrested, my two daughters are different people. They are more relaxed and both say they sleep better,” Samuel said. Since the alleged rape of Liza the family moved to three different houses but none were safe enough for her. Now the family lives in a security complex. Tammy also moved to a different apartment since her ordeal. “This has had a huge affect on the family. We are still in the healing process, but hopefully with the right person behind bars, we can find closure. It is however not just about justice, we need answers. I would still like to know his reason for the rampage he caused among woman and children,” Samuel said, calling on low ranking officers to investigate cases properly and not just to close a docket but rather to make an effort and cases will be solved much quicker. Mamvura will appear in court again next week. Police confirmed the case number and charge of rape and house robbery opened by Tammy. *pseudonyms to protect the alleged victims
Heartbreak for Grade 12s OBSERVER 5 at improperly registered school Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com
G
rade 12 learners from Ben-Evelyn English Medium Combined School in Makgofe village near Seshego have been prohibited from writing their final Independent Examination Board (IEB) exams after it was found the learners were illegally promoted from Grade 11 last year. The Spokesperson for the Department of Education (DoE), Paena Galane confirmed that the school did not comply with the Quality Assurance Council in General and Further Education and Training’s (Umalusi) requirements in promoting the Grade 11 learners to matric in 2013 and is not registered with the department to teach learners in Grade 11 and 12. This means the 52 Grade 12 learners were not registered to write their final exams. Galane said 34 of the Grade 12 learners at Ben-Evelyn were accommodated at IEB examination centres elsewhere so they could write their final Grade 12 exams as part-time learners. The remaining 17 learners were left in the dark as to why they could not write their final exams and were waiting for the outcome of a meeting at the end of the week between the school’s lawyers and the education authorities as to why they were unable to write their final IEB exams. A Grade 12 learner at Ben-Evelyn said when they reported for their final exams at an IEB examination centre near the school in October, an evaluator informed them they were not registered for the exams and they were turned away. Since then the 17 learners have received no explanation as to why they were not allowed to write their exams from the school principal and the education authorities. The learner confirmed that he had passed his preliminary matric exams in July and is highly traumatised at not being able to sit for his final exams despite attending Grade 12 classes for the whole year. Galane said Ben-Evelyn applied in 2011 at the DoE to be registered to teach Grade 11 and 12 learners, but failed to meet the necessary requirements. It was also found that the educators at the school were not registered at the South African Council of Educators. Despite not meeting the requirements, Ben-Evelyn continued to offer classes for Grade 11 and 12 learners and even issued reports to promote the learners to the next grade, without the necessary authorisation, according to Galane. He said all school reports must comply with School Based Assessment requirements. This means that all the Grade 11 learners from Ben-Evelyn were

Pensioners brave long queues for smart IDs

Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com
E
lderly people from the rural areas in Limpopo that want to apply for their smart IDs have to wait in long queues at the Polokwane Home Affairs office in order to process the cards. Only the Home Affairs offices at Polokwane and Lebowakgomo are presently able to pro cess smart card applications in the Capricorn District. Sometimes the elderly residents are sent home after waiting in the queue the whole day as the Home Affairs office in Polokwane can only process a certain quota of smart cards for the day. A resident from the city that brings in people from the rural areas to Polokwane for their smart IDs commented that if everything is done on computer and applicants that already have IDs don’t need to take photos, surely something can be done to speed up the process like having a computer taken to rural areas and old age homes. Pensioners have been able to get their new smart ID cards free of charge since January 2014

GPF-lid beseer in klipgooiery RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com ‘n Lid van die Eduanpark/Welge legen Gemeenskapspolisiërings forum (Edwel) is verlede Don derdag beseer toe ‘n verdagte persoon hom met klippe bestook het en glo met ‘n baksteen in die gesig getref het. Edwel-voorsitter, Niekie Bosman sê die lid het tydens patrollie in Eduanpark die verdagte man opgemerk. “Toe hy hom wou konfronteer, het hy skielik met klippe op die lid losgebrand. Hulp is ingeroep en Edwel-lede het die man agterna
gesit,” sê Bosman. Die man het glo deur die veld en onderdeur die brug tussen Eduanpark en Ladanna in die rigting van Pietersburg straat gehardloop. “Lede het daarin geslaag om hom by die kafee in Pietersburgstraat vas te trek waar die polisie hom gearresteer het,” sê Bosman. Die man het glo in die verlede ook polisievoertuie met klippe gegooi. Bosman sê Edwel en die ander forums soos Northern Upper Town (NuT) en sektor 3 en 4 se spanwerk werp daagliks vrugte af in die gebied.
at the Polokwane branch if their birth date falls in January. Thereafter, pensioners were able to apply for the smart ID card on the month of their date of birth at no charge and this has resulted in many pensioners from the rural areas going to the office of Home Affairs in Polokwane to collect their smart ID cards. On some days when many pensioners are applying for their new cards, they have to wait all day in order for the necessary documen tation to be processed. Eunice Mahlangu, the District Manager for Home Affairs in the Capricorn District said the two branches in the Capricorn can only process approximately 100 applications a day for the new smart ID card. She confirmed that with the service being provided for no charge to pensioners, some times more than 100 applications are received on a given day and the computer system becomes overloaded. Mahlangu said the new smart card technology will be rolled out to more Home Affairs offices in the province as soon as the necessary technology is installed. She urged pensioners to be patient as the new smart ID technology only became available in Limpopo since the beginning of the year. Residents wait outside Home Affairs in Polokwane on a less busy day for their new smart ID cards to be processed.

Justice, Correctional OBSERVER Services Portfolio Committee visits new court BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com
T
he National Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Justice and Correctional Services visited the province this week as part of their oversight role and undertook a guided tour of the new High Court in the city that is nearing completion. The total project cost of the new building will be in the region of R796 million and it will be the most expensive office building in the province. The initial projected cost was R210 million in 2009 and a sizeable portion of the escalated costs may be the result of the delay caused by the removal of the first contractor due to underperformance and the resulting escalation of costs. At the introduction, the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee, Mathole Motshekga, alluded to the challenges that were experienced with the project so far and in particular the fact that the contractor had to be replaced. He raised the question of what processes were followed when the first contractor was evaluated and selected and whether it was established if the contractor had the required capacity to complete a project of this magnitude. Time however did not allow for the project team to reply and the question whether any steps are to be taken to recover the money that was lost due to the delay are to be recovered, was left unanswered. “If people don’t have capacity, they must step aside,” Motshekga said. The projected date of practical hand-over of the building is at the end of February 2015 and according to Nonkuhuleko Sindane, Director-General of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, the department is busy with the procurement of furni-

ture and equipment to ensure that the new building could be used as soon as possible. The Department of Public Works is currently negotiating to find premises for the additional parking that the municipality insists on before an occupation certificate for the building will be issued. Negotiations with the authorities for the widening of the streets providing access to the building as well as the provision of adequate electricity supply to the building, is also in an advanced stage.

Die gereelde besoeker aan die restaurant wat verkies om nie genoem te word nie, sê haar seun en van sy kollegas het onlangs by die restaurant geëet en haar gesin ook verlede Vrydagaand. “My seun het besef dat die kelners ‘n 10%-fooi by die totale bestelling inwerk, maar wanneer kliënte die 10% ekstra wil gee omdat hulle nie gesien
CRIME shorts het dat dit reeds by die totaal ingewerk is nie, het die kelners stilgebly en word ‘n dubbelfooi in werklikheid betaal,” sê sy. Haar seun het na die twee voorvalle op die spyskaart gesien dat die restaurant ‘n 10% fooi hef wanneer groot groepe mense bedien word. “Ons is nie bang om fooitjies vir goeie diens te betaal nie, maar die oneerlike manier waarop dit hanteer word is onaanvaarbaar. Ons wil mense waarsku om hul strokies deeglik deur te gaan om dubbelbetalings van fooitjies te voorkom.”
Alleged rapist, murderer in court
Alleged serial rapist and murderer,
Malesela Ledwaba (42) appeared in the Mahwelereng Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday and yesterday (Wednesday) where his trial on charges of rape, murder and robbery started. It was reported that Ledwaba could possibly face more charges. Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto previously said the case was postponed as more charges might be added to the original charge sheet. He faces nine alleged charges of rape, three of murder and one of robbery. It is alleged that he raped and murdered three women between 2002 and 2004 in the Mapela area. He also allegedly broke into several houses where he raped his victims before robbing them.

The Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (Ledet) hosted the Limpopo Youth Franchise Expo in Polokwane last week. The expo aimed at helping young people to reach their full potential by exposing them to franchise opportunities and business skills that will harness their thinking in terms of their entrepreneurial growth. Franchisors in retail, fast food and fashion industry participated to introduce aspiring entrepreneurs and franchisees from all five districts of the province to the possibilities in each field. Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng addressed the expo on behalf of Ledet MEC Seaparo Sekoati. She said the department came up with the Youth Franchise Expo to create a platform for the youth, especially tertiary students, unemployed graduates and unemployed youth in general and to engage with franchisors and franchisees on franchising business opportunities. “The future of any country is deeply rooted in the success of its own youth. We wanted them to get exposed to economic development institutions as well as government on access to finance, business support and enterprise development initiatives available. We did this because as a caring government we are sensitive to the challenges of youth unemployment,” Nkadimeng said. Dudu Leotwane, an aspiring entrepreneur from Thabazimbi, commended the department for the initiative saying it was a good platform for entrepreneurs to exchange business ideas and validate each other as businesspeople. “It was informative and I have learned a lot from my fellow entrepreneurs-in-themaking and the franchisors that were at the event. I think the information will be valuable on my entrepreneurial journey,” Leotwane said. The National Youth Development Agency, Limpopo Economic Development Agency and Small Enterprise Development Agency were among the exhibitors.
Die woordvoerder van die Suid-Afrikaanse Poskantoor, Johan Kruger sê dit gebeur soms by poskantore dat kontantvloei beperk is. “Poskantore hou nie groot bedrae geld aan nie omdat hulle nie die hoë standaard sekuriteit soos banke het nie en maklike teikens vir rooftogte kan word. Dit is nie ‘n gereelde verskynsel dat poskantore se geld opraak nie. “Sommige dae raak dit onverwags besig en kliënte wil groot bedrae onttrek. Ons beveel aan dat kliënte wat groot bedrae wil onttrek, vooraf met die poskantoor reëlings tref sodat die kontant bestel kan word,” sê Kruger.

LTA geared up to receive more visitors for festive season Residents of Limpopo who have not made holiday plans yet should definitely consider one of the province’s wildlife resorts as a destination. Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA) is hard at work to receive more visitors than ever before this Festive Season. A press release issued by the agency earlier stated that it intends partnering with other stakeholders in the industry to package tourism offerings for the season. This includes car rental companies, airlines, tour operators and tourism information centres, accommodation establishments and more. This will be supported by an intended e-marketing campaign that will mainly be driven through the agency’s website. The statement lists as hotspots ideal for spending the holidays as being Kruger National Park, Mapungubwe World Heritage Site, all Forever resorts within the province, Modjadji Cycad Forest, Shonalanga Wildlife Resort, Bela-Bela Hotsprings, Nylsvley Nature Reserve and others. LTA Spokesperson Mike Tauatsoala told Polokwane Observer that two of the most popular resorts, Mphephu and Acacia, will be open for busi-

development. Thus every nation has to recognise and accept education as the springboard of societal development. This remains a potent factor for eradicating poverty and removing the legacy of apartheid. These agricultural colleges, as providers of the diploma courses, have a special role to play in strengthening the post-school system as a whole and play a central role in national development. There is much to be celebrated and nurtured in our agricultural education sector. It contains many dedicated and brilliant academic fields, from animal production to aquaculture,” Matshoge is quoted to have said. She also mentioned that the colleges will continue with the post apartheid legacy of attracting more students in our province and beyond, on a reviewed and revised new curricula, thus contributing to the development of our country. “The colleges have been accredited to offer Diplomas in Agriculture in Animal Production NQF level 6 well in Plant Production NQF level 6,” the statement informed.

ness. Mphephu was closed after torrential rains caused havoc to the infrastructure at the beginning of the year and Acacia had its administrative block gutted by fire in July. “We can assure the visitors that all the resorts will be opened for business. Regarding Mphephu and Acacia our officials are working around the clock to resolve all outstanding matters for the resorts to be functional again during this Festive Season,” he said. The statement quotes Bibi Kotsedi, acting Chief Executive Officer of LTA to have said: “We are anticipating more visitors given the fact that we are the only province in the country that shares boundaries with three countries, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The strategic location is a major boost to us as we are a gateway to other parts of our continent. We are also endowed with a wealth of culture and heritage. We call upon all the citizens to continue touring the province during the Festive Season. We are confident that our province will once again be counted amongst the most visited provinces in the country at the end of the last quarter of the 2014/15 financial year.”

Gebruik water spaarsaam, maan munisipaliteit BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Die vlakke van die 50- en 30 megaliter reservoirs wat Polokwane-inwoners van water voorsien, het effens verbeter, maar wek steeds kommer. Die munisipaliteit doen opnuut ‘n beroep op verbruikers om water met groot oorleg te gebruik. Verhoogde temperature die tyd van die jaar het hoër waterverbruik tot gevolg en plaas druk op die stad se waterreserwes. Volgens die munisipaliteit was die vlakke van die 50 megaliter en die nuwe 30
megaliter reservoirs Dinsdag 9% (teenoor ‘n week gelede se 6%) en 6,0% (teenoor 0,5%) respektiewelik. Die reservoir in Potgieterlaan se vlak was 55% (teenoor verlede week se 76%vlak) en dié van die hoofreservoir in Seshego 33% (teenoor 28%) Die reservoir in uitbreiding 34 se vlak was konstant op 95%. Tidimalo Chuene, kommunikasie- en bemarkingsbestuurder van die munisipaliteit sê dat watervoorsiening vanuit die Olifantspoorten Ebenezer-wateraanlegte die afgelope naweek vir vier ure onderbreek is weens beurtkrag en dat dit ook die vlakke van die reservoirs geraak het.

Muni, Saps to tackle crime at taxi rank RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com
An increase in crimes such as robbery and various other petty crime in and around the Polokwane taxi rank in Devenish Street recently prompted the Polokwane Municipality’s Community Safety Unit in collaboration with the Police to dispatch stationary units within the area with the intention to allow increased access to law enforcing officers and ease the burden of reporting crime related incidents. “Stationary units manned by members of either the Police or the municipal Community Safety Unit will be parked in Devenish Street, between Church and Gen Joubert streets,” municipal Communications and Marketing Manager Tidimalo Chuene said. The units will be available to assist with any type of incident daily from 10:00 to 18:00. In the meanwhile Polokwane Police recently arrested two men on a charge of possession of an unlicensed firearm. According to Police Spokesperson Lesiba Ramoshaba members of the community reported a suspicious vehicle with two occupants driving up and down within the vicinity of the Polokwane taxi rank. When Police arrived the vehicle was searched and an
unlicensed firearm confiscated. It is not sure whether the two men appeared in court yet. Chuene provided the following contact details of members within the Community Safety Unit to report any crime-related incidents as well as illegal hawkers:
• Helen Masera, Community Safety Unit Manager, 083 667 1587. • Joey Graaff, Chief Security Services, 072 441 0375. • John Emsley, Assistant Chief: Law Enforcement and Operations, 083 670 4041. • Yke Beetge, Assistant Chief: Asset Protection, 081 557 6115. • Jannie du Toit, Assitant Chief: Municipal Control Centre, 083 671 8500. • Members of the Police who can be contacted are: • Matindi Rameetse: 082 729 0987. • André Kotze: 082 414 2314. • Zebedius Ramakgoakgoa: 082 729 0043. Chuene said Polokwane Municipal Manager, Connie Mametja encouraged community members to file written responses on the impact of the operation of the stationary unit to her office.
Geen beserings na bus vlamvat Tientalle Zimbabwiërs kan hulself gelukkig ag dat hulle nie ernstig beseer is nie toe die bus waarin hulle vanaf Harare na Johannesburg onderweg was, Maandagoggend op die Tzaneen-verbypad aan die brand geslaan het. Die vuur het glo in die bus se enjinkap ontstaan en vinnig na agter versprei. Gestrande slagoffers is vir rookaseming op die toneel behandel. ‘n Nooddienswerker het gesê nie een van die passasiers wou na plaaslike hospitale vir behandeling gaan nie. Foto: RC Myburgh

Nuwe bome vir Westenburg Hoërskool LEANDRI VAN SCHALKWYK >>leandri.observer@gmail. com Personeellede en leerders van Westenburg Sekondêre Skool het verlede Woensdag bewys dat hulle groen vingers het, deur bome op hulle skoolterrein te plant. “Die skoolterrein was vol uitheemse plante en bome en het baie water gebruik. Ons wou die omgewing help en meer volhoubaar wees, ” sê Jimmy Steele, waarnemende skoolhoof. Inheemse bome
is geplant waar gevestigde uitheemse bome was. Die gebeure het vir ‘n dag van groot pret en waardering gesorg wat deur Retsini Kwekery moontlik gemaak is. Hulle het 30 bome aan die skool geskenk, onder meer witstinkhout- en wildepruimbome. Tydens die gebeure is meer oor bome, beenmeel, organiese kompos, chemiese kunsmis en omgewingsvolhoubaarheid geleer, wat die besparing van energie, water, omgewingsbewaring en maniere om van afval ontslae te raak en te herwin, insluit.

Bome is onlangs by Westenburg Sekondêre Skool geplant. Voor is Eugene Lyle (beheerliggaamvoorsitter), Thabo Komape (top graad 9-leerder) en Hugo van Zyl (Retini Kwekery). Agter is Jimmy Steele (waarnemende skoolhoof), Heleen Peasnall ( waarnemende kringbestuurder van die onderwysdepartement), Bettie Boom (adjunkhoof) en Martha Chuene-Masopoga (departementshoof).

Limpopo has, over the past five years, made remarkable improvement in its Grade 12 results. The percentage of candidates who passed increased from 48,9% in 2009 to 71,8% in 2013. Premier Stan Mathabatha earlier said they will accept no less than an 80% Grade 12 pass rate. Polokwane Observer asked residents whether they think the desired pass rate will be attained this year.
Bulelani Nxumalo stood up when he realised that there is no infrastructure development without steel. That’s why, in 2007, he used his skills to start the Umzungulu Steel Projects, a company that supplies steel window and door frames to the construction industry. Bulelani tried different avenues to expand his venture, but had a hard time finding support, until he approached the IDC. The support he received from the IDC included funding, business mentorship, as well as HR and engineering consultants. Thanks to this partnership, Umzungulu Steel Projects could supply their SABS approved products to a 25 000 housing project in the Msunduzi Municipality. The enterprise now has 22 employees. The IDC is calling on you, the young entrepreneur, to stand up and act on your business plan and lead industrial development. Take the lead by applying for funding of R1 million or more. Call the Polokwane regional office on 015 299 4080 or visit idc.co.za to learn more about the funding criteria for the sectors that the IDC supports.
Bianca Brits: “Ek twyfel of die verwagte slaagsyfer bereik kan word. Leerders is vandag minder toegewyd en word luier hoe ouer hulle word.
Michael Swanepoel: “Hulle het verlede jaar puik gevaar en ek is seker hulle gaan dit vanjaar weer doen.”
Robert Netshiunnda: “Nobody thought the class of 2013 would achieve 70% but they did. I think the class of 2014 will go beyond 80%.”
Stefan van Wijk: “Ek dink die teiken sal behaal word want leerders het al die hulpmiddels tot hul beskikking.”
Michael Makungo: “I think they will achieve the targeted 80% because learners are attending extra classes even at weekends which makes it easier for teachers to finish the syllabuses on time.”
Erika Peyper: “Ek dink hulle kan dit wel maak. Hulle werk baie hard en is slim.”

‘n Swanger taxi-passasier is verlede Donderdag inderhaas na die naaste hospitaal geneem na ‘n botsing met ‘n Mercedes-Benz. Die bestuurder van die Mercedes, Shoni Muladzi, haar ma en twee kinders het ernstige beserings vrygespring toe die taxibestuurder na bewering by ‘n rooi verkeerslig op die hoek van Munnik- en De Wetrylaan van agter in haar voertuig vasgejaag het. Te oordeel aan die skade aan die voertuig het die taxibestuurder nie by die spoedgrens gehou toe die ongeluk gebeur het nie. ‘n Familielid van Muladzi het op die toneel taxibestuurders as arrogant bestempel en gesê hulle reken die pad behoort aan hulle.

Tribute was also paid to a former President, Mokone du Preez for service rendered to the chamber for more than a decade. Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng congratulated the members of the PCOB with their successes during the year and promised that the moratorium on development will be lifted as soon as the city’s infrastructure is updated to the extent that it can accommodate further development. “We are looking at alternative ways to unlock infrastructure development and rely on the business community to be our partners in reaching this objective,” Nkadimeng said. PCOB President Simphiwe Mdlalose said in his address that business in Polokwane can only flourish if all the racial groups work together as equal partners to be successful. “Nobody has to be a BEE-partner, we all have to be full partners that make the same contribution to businesses,” he concluded.

Bederfdag vir kanker oorlewendes LEANDRI VAN SCHALKWYK >>leandri.observer@gmail.com
N
a Louise Jansen in 2010 met borskanker gediagnoseer is, reik sy jaarliks na ander kankeroorlewendes uit. Vanjaar het sy en mede-organiseerder en eienaar van House of Asante, Matlakala Bopape op ‘n bederfdag besluit. Bopape het self beide haar ouers aan kanker verloor. Die spesiale dag is Saterdag by House of Asante gehou waar oorlewendes ook hulle stories kon deel en mekaar beter leer ken het. “Om dieselfde ervarings te deel, gee mense hoop. Dit is ook die rede hoekom ons besluit het om mense hoop te gee en nie net te be derf nie,” sê Jansen. Curves Polokwane se fikse instrukteurs het die dames tussenin bietjie laat oefen waarna middagete geniet is. Ter afsluiting is hulle met skoonheidbehandelings deur terapeute van House of Asante bederf. Ntsikwane, ‘n plaaslike kunstenaar het vir vermaak gesorg. Een van die dames wat haar verhaal gedeel het, is Carolyn Neethling wat binnekort ‘n dubbele mastektomie ondergaan. “Ek voel soveel beter en is nie meer bang vir wat voorlê
nie, sê Neethling. Die kankeroorlewendes was dit eens dat dit ‘n wonderlike geleentheid was om mekaar te kon ondersteun. Jansen en Bopape beplan nog verskeie projekte saam. Die borge wat die spesiale dag moontlik gemaak het, is Matlakala Bopape en haar personeel by House of Asante, Curves Polokwane, Xerox XLP Paper Solutions, Café Pavilion Sterkloop, Oasis Water Polokwane, Love 4 Toys, Nelmariè de Lange Photography, Bakers World en Phil Jansen, Louise se man en Ina Bushby.

Strikkies ten bate van kanker LEANDRI VAN SCHALKWYK >>leandri.observer@gmail.com Shaakira Hassim, ‘n graad 7-leerder van Mitchell House verkoop handgemaakte strikkies om geld in te samel vir mense met oogkanker wat prostetiese oë benodig. Die idée het by Hassim opgekom met die skool se koekverkoping wat elke termyn plaasvind. Sy het ander planne begin beraam, omdat koekverkopings by die skool volgens haar afgesaag geraak het en sy ‘n produk regdeur die jaar wou verkoop. Shaakira het die lintstrikkies begin maak en verkoop by die skool wat medeleerders aan hul skoolbaadjies dra. Die jong dame gee baie om vir mense met kanker en het die gevreesde siekte beleef met ‘n familielid wat aan kanker oorlede is. Nog ‘n Samaritaan van die skool, Yasmeen Ghoord, ‘n graad 6-leerder het haar sakgeld vir Shaakira se kankerprojek geskenk.
Fasiliteerder van Tough Living With Cancer (TLC), Bobby Were sê: “Dis wonderlik om te sien hoe leerders eie inisiatief gebruik om mense met kanker te help.” Were is dankbaar dat kinders betrokke raak by kankerprojekte en spesifiek die TLC wil help.

MoN donates to Ngwana Baby House, TLC Ward Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za
M
all of the North (MoN), through its social outreach programme, lended a generous helping hand to the Tough Living Cancer (TLC) Ward at Polokwane Provincial Hospital and Ngwana Baby House at the Mall last Friday. The TLC Ward received R100 000 and Ngwana Baby House R70 000 to assist in the daily running of the two institutions. The money donated was raised during the mall’s recent Bridal Competition where participants washed cars, sold hotdogs and other goodies in Polokwane and surrounds to raise the funds. Commenting on the occasion MoN Marketing Manager René van der Merwe said: “As a mall we are involved in many community projects and we love supporting non-profit organisations. The two organisations cater for and take care of children, some of whom
are orphans while others suffer from cancer. With the Festive Season approaching we could not think of anyone else but them to benefit from our outreach programme. We are a caring mall and we want to make their lives better and we hope that the gesture will bring them cheer during this Festive Season.” Tough Living Cancer Ward Facilitator at Cansa Polokwane, Bobby Were said they are going to spend the money on prosthetic eyes for the children who have eye cancer. “We are thankful to the mall for the donation and we believe the money will add value to the ward,” Were said. Amanda Koekemoer, Project Manager at Ngwana Baby House said they are going to spend money to address all the needs for the babies at the house. “We would like to thank the mall for the contribution. It will definitely add value at the house,” Koekemoer said.
Rotarians spoil the blind at Sun Meropa RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com Learners from Siloe School for the Blind were treated to a different kind of Christmas party than usual when the Polokwane Rotary Club spoiled them with a fun day at Sun Meropa’s bird, reptile and butterfly park, Wild Thingz on Saturday. According to one of the members, Mxolisi Bambo, Polokwane Rotary Club annually treats the learners at the school with a party characterised by lots to eat and drink. “This year
we decided to make it more fun by bringing them to Wild Thingz. Jumping castles were erected for them but the highlight for the learners, some of whom are totally blind and others partially sighted was the opportunity to interact with some of the animals by touching and feeling among others a snake and some of the birds,” Bambo said. Bambo added that Polokwane Rotary Club said the club members are constantly grateful for opportunities to be involved with the improving the wellbeing of the school and its learners.

Op pad na ’n tweede depressie …ekonoom Dawie Roodt praat prontuit WILLIE ESTERHUYSEN >>willie.e@mwebbiz.co.za
D
ie wêreldekonomie en Suid-Afrika in die besonder is in so ‘n wurggreep dat die bekende sakepersoonlikheid en hoofekonoom van die Efficient Groep, Dawie Roodt, van mening is dat ‘n resessie met ‘n soortgelyke omvang as dié van 1929-depressie nie vergesog is nie. Vir die onmiddellike toekoms voorspel hy dat die 2015/16-groeikoers van Suid-Afrika op nasionale front selfs veel laer as die konsensusvooruitskatting van 1,5% mag wees. Hy het tydens ‘n spogdinee wat verlede Donderdag deur die Limpopo-tak van die SuidAfrikaanse Tandartsvereniging (SADA) aangebied is voor ‘n uitgesoekte gehoor by Fusion Boutique Hotel gesê die land beleef ‘n demokratiese defek en die resultaat hiervan is dat belasting aan die een kant op die minderheid en sosiale spandering aan die ander kant op die meerderheid verhoog word. Die breekpunt wat nou bereik word, is dat daar te veel belastingstrukture is, belasting te hoog is, die staatsdiens stort ineen en mense spaar in die algemeen nie meer nie. Waar staan ons nou? Volgens Roodt word Suid-Afrikaners se mees basiese reg naamlik, dié op privaateiendom, ondermyn. Benewens verskeie wetgewing, is die feit ook onlangs in ‘n uitspraak van die konstitusionele hof bevestig. In gevalle van grondonteiening word die staat nou die beskerm heer daarvan en word geen vergoeding betaal nie. Roodt wil weet wat gaan gebeur as hierdie beginsel ook op ander bates soos fabrieke en besighede toegepas word. Voorts: • Die staatsdiens stort op grootskaal ineen
• Munisipaliteite is ‘n ramp • Onderwys is die swakste in die wêreld met geletterdheidsvlakke van gr 3-leerders in Mosambiek selfs veel hoër as in Suid-Afrika As voorbeele van die agteruitgang, het Roodt verwys na die Suid-Afrikaanse Lugdiens wat reeds die afgelope twintig jaar met R20 biljoen deur belastingbetalers gesubsidieer word en R300 biljoen wat jaarliks verlore gaan as gevolg van verlore produksie. Gaan dit beter? Volgens Roodt hou die nasionale ontwikkelings plan groot beloftes in. “Maar,” sê hy “in stede van daadwerklike implementering, is die dokument tot nou toe niks anders as ‘n wenslys nie.” Hy is bekommerd oor individuele politieke agendas, prysvasstelling deur die regering en die feit dat “die linkerhand in Suid-Afrika nie weet wat die ander linkerhand” doen nie. Fiskale besteding Die fiskale beleid van die regering is om rykes meer te belas en meer aan die armes te bestee.Ten spyte van die massiewe herverdeling bly Suid-Afrika egter steeds een van die ongelykste lande ter wêreld. Iemand moet hiervoor betaal. Volgens Roodt gaan die staat se finansies intussen sodanig agteruit dat hy eenvoudig nie meer kan voortgaan om sulke groot maatskaplike uitgawes te dra nie – behalwe as belastings verhoog word of staatsbates geprivatiseer word. Volgens Roodt kan die alternatief om staatsbates te privatiseer tesame met die wil en deursettingsvermoë deur die staat om strukturele verande ringe aan te bring, waarvan gehalte en diens die belangrikste is, die draaipunt wees. ‘n Tweede groot depressie Tekens wat Roodt in sy omvattende voorlegging uitgewys het, van nog ‘n depressie wat op hande is, is:
• Opbrengse verminder, maar pryse stagneer en verlaag • Aandeelpryse skiet die hoogte in tot op ‘n punt waar opbrengste verflou • Kort-uitleenkoerse bly laag, aanvraag verminder, deflasie tree in en beweging in verhandeling verminder • Verdienste en aandele val • Maatskappye hou aan kontant vas • Skuldvlakke skiet die hoogte in • Sagte wisselkoerse ervaar inflasie en gaan in verstek Hoe om jouself te beskerm? Volgens Roodt is dit raadsaam om van arbeidintensiewe aktiwiteite weg te beweeg na kapitaal-intensiewe aktiwiteite. Sy raad is dat Suid-Afrikaners meer vaardighede moet aanleer, vir hulself moet dink eerder as om ’n skaap te bly, hulself onmisbaar moet maak en vriende met die regte mense moet maak Hoe om jou bates te beskerm? Roodt se raad is: • Pas die hefboomeffek op inkomstegenere rende bates maksimaal toe • Diversifiseer portefeuljes en skakel oor na buitelandse bateklasse • Maak gebruik van diskressionêre strukture om beleggings te diversifiseer, byvoorbeeld om verder te kyk as bloot pensioen- en voorsorgfondse • Huur eerder as om te koop. Dit beteken likiditeit • Kry buitelandse vennote, want onteiening raak moeiliker wanneer dit gebeur dat buitelanders se bates gesteel word. • Betaal alleen jou verskuldigde belasting en sorg dat jy nie agterstallig raak nie • Sluit aan by ‘n organisasie en veldtogte wat hulle beywer vir die beskerming van privaateiendomsreg.

Philanthropy in Youth Development recently. The Inyathelo Awards was initiated eight years ago to acknowledge, celebrate and honour people whose personal giving has contributed towards sustainable social change in South Africa. Ntsanwisi was among eleven other individuals that were honoured at the prestigious annual award ceremony in Cape Town two weeks ago. He previously worked as the Director and Programme Coordinator at Bjatladi Youth Development and wants to establish his own youth centre. To win the award Ntsanwisi ran more than 1 850 km from Cape Town to NkowaNkowa in 32 days last year as part of his ongoing efforts to raise awareness and funding for abused women and children. He also works closely with the South African Police Service’s Victim Empowerment Unit in guiding young people to make positive choices and empowering them with life skills, knowledge and opportunities. The 28-year-old Ntsanwisi enjoyed a privileged upbringing and attended a private school, but feels compelled to help those that did not have the same opportunities
that he has in life. The marketer at Stanford Lake College, Rona McGaffin explained that Ntsanwisi’s quest to better the lives of those less fortunate started when he was 18 and wanted to set up a band. He met so many talented youngsters but most of them were unable to fulfil their potential because of the social challenges they faced on a daily basis. Ntsanwisi started helping them informally, organised opportunities and introduced them to people that could help, according to Mcgaffin. After studying filming and setting up his own film company, Ntsanwisi used some of the proceeds for Vanthswa Va Xivono. The youth development programme is currently assisting 30 disadvantaged and orphaned children from the NkowaNkowa area. Vanthswa Va Xivono assists the children with their educational needs and is busy building two houses for disadvantaged members of the community. Individuals and businesses wanting to help Ntsanwisi with his youth development programme can contact him on 079 194 8023 or email samuelntsanwisi@hotmail.com. Visit the website on www.vvx.co.za.

Beware of misleading adverts, spend wisely this Festive Season With the end of the year approaching and the Festive Season gradually creeping in, the National Credit Regulator (NCR) is urging consumers to be vigilant when entering into credit agreements. Mpho Ramapala, Acting Manager in the Education and Communication Department at the NCR warned against reckless spending and misleading advertising especially over the Festive Season. “Credit providers should disclose all costs in advertisements if they make reference to monthly instalments, repayment amounts or any other cost of credit. Consumers should be wary of misleading terms in advertisements or direct solicitation for credit such as no credit checks required, blacklisted consumers welcome, free credit, cheap credit, affordable credit, low cost credit or any wording that has substantially the same meaning,” Ramapala said. She also advised consumers not to leave their identity documents, bank cards or Personal Identification Number (PIN) and South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) cards with credit providers when applying for credit and stressed that it is a criminal offence for the service provider to do so. Consumers should report cases where their bank or Sassa cards and identity documents were taken by credit providers to their local police stations. Due to the year-end celebrations and excitement, the festive season provides the perfect opportunity to spend money that you do not have. “If you want to begin the New Year in a financially sound position, be aware of how you spend your money during this period and save for the New Year”, Ramapala advised. Over the Festive Season, consumers should be especially wary of buy now, pay after three months deals and then incurring additional credit during those three months. “Consumers should request a pre-agreement statement and quotation when applying for credit. This will enable them to shop around and do a comparison.” The NCR urges consumers to seek loans with NCR-registered credit providers. They can identify such credit providers by a window decal (an orange sticker with an NCR logo) and a registration certificate that will also state the
inspired
NCR credit provider registration number. To ensure that you are not put in a predicament of having to apply for credit come the New Year, spend wisely this year by following these simple steps: • Do a budget for the festive season and include all debt, rent, electricity, water, insurance, transport, gifts, entertainment, etc; • When going shopping, have a shopping list to avoid buying unnecessary items; • If you didn’t budget for a holiday earlier in the year, it might be too late and risky in terms of finances to go on holiday this year; • Be proactive and double-up on your regular payments such as mortgage or rent, lights and water. That way you will be able to afford costs such as school fees and uniforms which will hit you at the start of the New Year; • Prioritise your home loan and rent; • Shop around for cheaper options; • If you borrow money, make sure you borrow only for what is strictly necessary and ensure that you can afford the repayments; • If you’re not sure of exactly how much you want to spend on each person’s present, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and overspend. Limit yourself to an amount for each person to help keep track of your spending; • Items such as school stationery, uniforms or other useful items are a better investment. Choose presents that last long after Christmas; • Instead of buying expensive presents, set up a savings fund and put away an amount for your loved ones each Christmas. Over time this will grow into a much bigger pot of money that can be used to fund school fees or pay off a car; • Entertain at home. Ask guests to bring something for the meal so you share the costs of your festive entertainment; • Each year, set up a separate fund for birthday and Christmas presents as well as holidays; • Use your bonus to reduce your debt burden by paying off existing loans. By spending wisely this year, you can reap the benefits next year.

’n Kerskuier met skop >> In skadu van ou huis is fantasie opgetower >> Met tooi van Kerstafel is sy kreatiewe gees uitgeleef YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com ‘n Tradisionele Kersfees met ‘n organiese inslag het vir klem op detail gesorg toe Polokwane interieur-kenner, Martin-Shawn van Huyssteen sy kreatiwiteit die vlug laat neem het voor die gemeenskaplike samesyn met vriende en familie. Van Huyssteen se tafel het plek gekry in die koel tuin by Velvet Apple Café te Compensatiestraat 80 waarvandaan hy ook sy interieuronderneming, Black Apple Design bedryf. Soos verwag het hy nie teleurgestel nie. In die skadu van die ou huis wat as afskoppunt vir etlike klein besigheidsentiteite dien, is fantasie opgetower. En halfhartigheid was beslis nie ‘n opsie nie. Met sy keuse vir die tooi van ‘n Kerstafel het hy sy kreatiewe gees uitgeleef. ‘n Sithoekie waar lede van Polokwane Observer se redaksionele span op ‘n Vrydagmiddag kon aansit was die ideale voorloper vir ‘n Kersmaal geïnspireer deur die voorskrifte vir ‘n gesellige kuier. In die kruietuin wat ‘n leefwyse na aan die aarde bevorder, was invloede met ‘n tong-in-die-kiesbenadering aan die orde van die dag. Losstaande kosyne met houtdeure en vensterrame in gul kleure geverf en die gekabbel van fonteinwater het die besoeker summier verwelkom. Die gewone wit en silwer wat alom met die feesseisoen gebruik word, was nie ‘n oorweging nie. Aardse kleure in goud en koper was die pasmaats vir elemente uit Limpopo-bodem en ‘n kleurskema wat Van Huyssteen met ‘n tradi sionele Kersfees vereenselwig. Hy het dit wat hy in die huis het vir ‘n treffer-tentoonstelling vir ‘n Kerskuier met skop aangewend, het hy verduidelik. Die tema is verhoog deur die simboliese gebruik van alomteenwoordige simboliek uit die natuur, waaronder blomme en voëls. Vir sy tafel het Van Huyssteen rolle muurpapier met motiewe van die rakke gehaal en as drapering en stoeloortreksels gebruik. Die Kersboom van hout as middelpunt het die keuse vir die organiese bevestig en struktuur aan die dekor verleen. Die borde met goue skrif en servette met krulle bedruk het tot die kleurkeuse bygedra. Kristal sal altyd in sy aanbiedings aangetref word, het Van Huyssteen beklemtoon. Vir elke gas is ‘n fortuinkoekie op die rand van sy glas geplaas. Bling het uitdrukking Martin-Shawn van Huys steen, plaaslike interieurkenner, doen die laaste voorbereidings.
gevind in Kersballe, lint, Kersklappers, sterre uit rottang geweef en teeliggies in koperglas. Miniatuur-dierefigure, tossels en die uitsonderlike masker van wit kant was onder die bykomstighede vir die okkasie. Aan ‘n tak bo die tafel het stringe klokkies, blomme en handgemaakte voëls in glasnessies in die wind geswiep. Neffens die kuierplek het ‘n sitbank van gietyster verfraai met lap, kussings en behangsels in dieselfde kleurskema ‘n alternatiewe uitspanplek gebied. Die spyskaart het weggeskram van ure se voorbereiding in ‘n warm kombuis, maar was geskik vir luilekker saamwees. Gekrummelde hoenderhappies op eko-vriendelike bamboes stokkies vir voordurende peusel is afgerond met kersietamaties en ‘n rissiesous. Vrugtepoeding met vars kersies, mini-roompoffers en individuele poedings bedek met vla of roomys en sjokoladeballe in blink papier toegedraai was gepas vir die soettand.

Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng
Festive Season message BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com
PHOTO: ARCHIVES
“It’s not long ago when I was welcomed by the people of Polokwane and now, in the wink of an eye we are already in the Festive Season. Indeed, time flies when one is not idle. Mine was not a long year, but the short time here has been fruitful. Although we are still experiencing challenges here and there and sometimes with service interruptions, as a municipality we marvel at our achievements. There is more hope than despair. “Firstly, I thank all the Polokwane Municipality officials and Councillors for what I believe was a year of hard work and service. I believe we will use this period to reflect on 2014 and revaluate ourselves to become better persons in 2015 so that we can better our services to the people of Polokwane. “We are ushering the festive season by hosting the Annual Festive Lights Event and distribute funds raised through the 2014 Executive Mayor’s Charity Golf Day to various charities. This year’s festive season is the first since the passing of former President of South Africa, Tata Nelson Mandela and in honouring his memory; we will be visiting children at various hospices especially those taking care of cancer survivors. We will also distribute toys to the less fortunate children in partnership with the Motsepe Foundation. “We hope that the Grade 12’s in our municipality will take advantage of the Executive Mayor’s Bursary scheme and apply so that they could study further in consistence with our Smart People pillar. Parents, please ensure that as we spend money, we become mindful of our
children’s educational needs in the New Year. “As we enter into holiday mode, let’s all spend the holiday period responsibly with our beloved families and friends. I call upon all of us to practice humanity by extending a helping hand to those who are vulnerable, the less fortunate and the elderly in our society. One act of random kindness will surely help us lay a brick a day towards achieving social cohesion. “We should be patient on the road, tolerate one another and drive to arrive safe at our various destinations. Road safety is the responsibility of all on the roads. Let us all avoid drinking and driving for that is the cause of many fatalities on our roads. Our law enforcement officers will be dispatched throughout the Municipality to ensure that you arrive safe at your destinations. “Our praises to God for protecting us all in 2014 and we also pray that He delivers us into 2015 unharmed. On behalf of the Council of Polokwane Municipality, I take this momentous opportunity to wish all our residents and visitors a Merry Christmas and a rejuvenated and prosperous 2015.” Thembi Nkadimeng Polokwane Executive Mayor

Kindermusik with MilkShake Music Studio offers music stimulation classes BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Kindermusik with MilkShake Music Studio offers music stimulation classes for babies and children up to 7 years. The Kindermusik concept will be part of Mall of the North’s Christmas Programme that focuses on children and will take place from 8 to 13 December. The studio is located on the premises of NG Kerk Bendorgemeente where qualified Kindermusik educators, Marlet van Niekerk and Jackie Shrives present the classes. Kindermusik has been enriching children’s lives with the carefully researched, developmentally based music programme that gives children from birth to age seven an opportunity to experience the magic of music without the pressure to perform. It provides encouragement and guidance to stretch their boundaries with creativity and fun. The aim of the programme is not to turn the young participants into musicians, but
instead to make them more eager to learn, more awake and wholly alive in their world. In musical activities, children and families are engaged in learning in class and at home. The benefit of music for the cognitive development of children is actually extraordinary. By incorporating music and movement into a child’s learning routine all areas of the brain are stimulated and engaged and it is thus the best way to learn. Music even helps a child develop early Mathematics, science and literacy and language skills.

Audi RS7 Sportback – unconditional dynamism >> The RS7 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3,9 seconds >> The tran smission can automatically adjust to driving style RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com
I
n the centre of Audi Polokwane’s showroom is a vehicle that from the onlook expresses puristic elegance, incredible power and cutting edge engineering; it is the Audi RS7 Sportback. It is clear that the RS7 is a big attraction to speed, power and torque fanatics and that performance will always end up first on the discussion list. The 4,0 litre V8 TFSI engine generates 412 kW and delivers a maximum torque of 700 Nm - pure power that the Quattro permanent all-wheel drive transfers to the road with confidence. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is effortless and takes only 3,9 seconds. The RS7 also excels when it comes to efficiency, with Audi cylinder on demand shutting down four of the eight cylinders in the partialload range. The engine continues to run smoothly and powerfully regardless. The only difference is that fuel consumption and emissions are reduced. On the exterior it is elegance at its most powerful. The trademark Audi Singleframe features a matt aluminium-look frame while a high-gloss black honeycomb grid creates an impression of outstanding strength. RS bumbers with large side air intakes and integrated flaps as well as the optional LED headlights with dark tinted surrounds help to underline the individual character of the RS7 Sportback. The interior exudes sportiness, exclusiveness and quality the moment you open the door. Details such as the illuminated door sill trims, pedals in aluminium look, door openers with a delicate double-bar design and carbon inlays all serve to underline the vehicle’s premium character. The RS7 sport seats with their boldly contoured form offer excellent lateral support even on the most challenging drives. The shift paddles of the flat-bottomed RS leather-covered multifunctional sport steering wheel enable the driver to change gear manually without having to let go of its chunky contours. Meanwhile the navigation and vehicle information system gives the driver perfectly intuitive control over many vehicle functions. Not only does the RS7 Sportback boast a unique dynamism, the way in which it adapts to the driver is just as individual. Thanks to the eight-speed tiptronic Dynamic Shift Program (DSP), the transmission can automatically adjust to your driving style. Audi manufacturer also provided for sophisticated safety features which include side impact protection, airbags, integrated head restraint system, battery energy management, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Anti-slip Regulation (ASR), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC) and a start/stop system.

Mitchell House prepares for Ironwood
HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Mitchell House held their inter-house athletics meeting at the school sports field last Thursday in preparation for next year Ironwood interschool athletics meeting scheduled to take place on 27 January 2015 at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium. The event saw tough competition between the houses but in the end Harman, on 252 points, triumphed followed by Maytham (226) and Hudson (191). Among the outstanding performances on the day were three new records set by Harman’s u.13 star, Kgola Khonou in the boys 100 m (12.05), 200 m (27.07) and long jump (5,31 m). Davon Smit, also from Harman, performed exceptionally well by participating in six events and winning them all. He won the high jump (1,45 m), long jump (4,10 m), javelin (14,59), discus (16,25), 100 m sprint (13.84) and 1 200 (5.04:22) for boy u.12 to ensure his team’s victory. Lebo Mateta (Harman) won the girls u.13 200m in a time of 31.96 while Katekani Xivambu (Hudson) won the 100 m and long jump for boys u.11. Headmaster Andrew Cook said they are
proud of the athletes who did well during the meeting. “We want to do well in the Ironwood meeting next year. Normally these kinds of events are held in January, but we decided to have our meeting early because we want to give learners enough time to prepare for next year,” he said.

esides the barbeques, office parties and breakaways to the beach or the Bushveld, the summer holiday period is always a good time to take stock and plan for the year to come. And if its property you want to buy – either as a first time buyer or because you’re looking to expand your portfolio of investments – it’s a perfect time to design your strategy. “It is no secret that financial institutions have fairly stringent lending requirements, and it’s become increasingly more important for prospective homeowners to keep their financial affairs in order to show the necessary affordability ratios,” said Adrian Goslett, Chief Executive Officer of RE/MAX of Southern Africa. This also applies to current homeowners who might require additional finances to undertake renovation projects or upgrades to their properties. He said that it makes sense to take time out to step back and assess your financial situation, to plan your actions and to measure the progress you’re making towards attaining your financial objectives. First-time buyers For first time buyers and people who don’t have much experience of the property market, though, knowing what you need to know can be a bit of a conundrum. The process of applying for a bond isn’t a straight-forward one, so it makes sense to use bond originators – especially since they’ll apply to all the banks on your behalf and you won’t be obliged to accept any of the banks’ deals, either. Get pre-qualified for finance The best way to begin is to get pre-qualified for bond finance. This will help you establish affordability in terms of the National Credit Act, will provide you with an amount that you’re likely to purchase for, and will also give you an insight into your credit ability. A pre-qualification will give you an understanding of your potential risk profile. If this requires work in order to improve your risk rating and thus your chances of obtaining a bond, we’ll be able to counsel and guide you as to what you can do to achieve a better risk status. If you’re self-employed, you’ll be informed of what documentation to prepare, and you’ll be guided through the processes that the banks will follow when assessing your ability to obtain a home loan. As a first time buyer you should save up for a deposit because even though the banks say they’ll provide 100% bonds, those bonds come at a cost. But with a deposit, you’re in a good position to negotiate a lower interest rate. Financial plan Goslett pointed out that the purchase of property shouldn’t be the only aspect of your financial plan for the New Year. Now is the time to meas-

ure the performance of your investment portfolio, which, he said, is typically measured by several different benchmarks although, the most important of them is the one you set yourself. “Assessing your financial position and making
the required changes is not something to put off. It is vital that consumers know what they’re spending their money on and how to implement the necessary changes to their financial plan to achieve their homeownership goals. Take time to
examine your financial and life goals in order to determine the course you need to follow to attain these objectives. Review changes that have occurred, and anticipate changes that may occur in the future,” Goslett said.

Bezuidenhout het goue medaljes in die Afrikaans, Engels, “Contemporary Country”, “Pop”, “Open Films” en “Motion Pictures”-kategorieë gekry en ‘n uitnodiging ontvang om volgende jaar in die Verenigde State van Amerika aan die Shine-sangkompetisie wat deelnemers vanoor die wêreld trek, deel te neem. Die organiseerders van die kompetisie, wat in Orlando plaasvind, gaan die geleentheid aan uitgesoekte deelnemers bied om sangkontrakte te sluit en ‘n sangloopbaan in die VSA te volg. Dit is die derde keer dat Megan aan die kompetisie deelneem en het die vorige keer ook ses goue medaljes ontvang. Bezuidenhout word deur haar vriend Callie Naudé, wat ook sing, ondersteun en hulle werk tans saam aan ‘n CD.

Word ‘n Kansa vrywilliger en help ander
“Having achieved more than 50 Years of property
>> 5 Desember is Internasionale Vrywilligersdag >> Meer as 6 000 vrywilligers bereik reeds 14 000 kankerpasiënte
makes us the obvious choice”
HOUSE OF THE WEEK HOUSE IN BENDOR - R1 850 000
WEB: 338922
BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Die Kankervereniging van Suid-Afrika (Kansa) vier op 5 Desember Internasionale Vrywilligersdag, ‘n dag toegewy aan die waardering teenoor alle vrywilligers wat hulle tyd, vaardighede en geld gee om mense in nood te help. Kansa se waarnemende hoof-uitvoerende beampte, Elize Joubert sê: “Oscar Wilde het gesê dat ‘Die kleinste daad van liefde is meer werd as die wonderlikste voorneme’ en dit is presies wat Kansavrywilligers doen. Met klein en groot gebare, saam met die gee van hul tyd, is ons vrywilligers besig om die lewens van diegene wat deur kanker geraak word, te verander.” Kansa benodig die ondersteuning van vrywilligers om alle gemeenskappe in Suid-Afrika te bereik en om te help met hul sorg- en ondersteuningsdiens. Meer as 6 000 vrywilligers help reeds om 500 gemeenskappe en ongeveer 14 000 kankerpasiënte en hul families landswyd te bereik. “Internasionale Vrywilligersdag is ‘n geleentheid om vrywilligers te bedank vir hul werk en ondersteuning. Kansa se sorgsentra regoor die land tree as gasheer vir vrywilligerbyeenkomste op hierdie dag op, om hul waardevolle bydrae wat meehelp om ‘n wêreld te skep sonder kanker, te erken,” meen Joubert. Dorothy Masiane (62), borskankeroorwinnaar en Kansa Phakamisa navigator, verduidelik: “Kansa het my met berading ondersteun terwyl ek deur my kankerreis gegaan het en my die geleentheid gegee om as ‘n Phakamisa navigator as vrywilliger aan te sluit ten einde ander pasiënte op te hef en my gemeenskap oor kanker in te lig. Ek besef dat die meeste mans en vroue nie oor hul gesondheid praat nie, daarom probeer ons hulle help. Dit verskaf my plesier om te sien hoe sommige probeer om die manier waarop hulle dinge sien, te verander.” Lucas Pelompe, ‘n Movember-navigator van Rustenburg, sê: “Vir my is die werk soos om ‘n ui af te skil - daar is meer lae om te ontdek en te verken. Dit help ook vir my en my hele gesin om ‘n gesonde lewe te lei. Terwyl ek die aanbiedings doen, is ek nie meer so bang om voor baie mense op te staan en iets te sê nie. Dit help my eintlik om die beste ‘Lucas’ ooit te wees, alles te danke aan Kansa. Ek is lief daarvoor om mense te help en om hulle te kry om oor hul gesondheid te praat.” Kansa bied ‘n unieke geïntegreerde diens aan die publiek en aan almal wat deur kanker geraak word. Meer as R5 mil-joen word jaarliks deur Kansa bestee en as ‘n leierrolspeler in kankernavorsing word die wetenskaplike bevindinge en kennis wat ingewin word deur Kansa se navorsing gebruik om gesondheidprogramme te ontwikkel en op te gradeer. Dit help ook om Kansa se rol as waghond te verskerp tot groter voordeel van die publiek. Gesondheidsprogramme sluit veldtogte oor voorkoming en behandeling, asook opleiding en onderrig. Daar is meer as 30 Kansa sorgsentra wat ‘n wye reeks ondersteuningsdienste bied en sluit tuisversorging, ondersteuningsgroepe, kliniese versorging soos stoma-ondersteuning en verhuring van mediese toerusting, in. ‘n Tolvrye telefoonlyn bied ondersteuning aan diegene wat deur kanker geraak word. Pasiëntsorg en ondersteuning word gegee deur middel van 12 Kansa sorgtuistes in die hoof metropolitaanse gebiede, een hospitium (in Polokwane) vir weg-van-diehuis-pasiënte, asook twee Kansa TLCtuistes in Pretoria en Polokwane vir ouers of voogde van kinders wat kankerbehandeling kry.

RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com Al die provinsiale skole se krieketspanne moes Saterdag die aftog teen die Northerns Titans van Pretorie in hul oefenwedstryde blaas. Limpopo se o.13- o.15-, o.17- en o.19-span het hul wedstryde verloor. Die wedstryde is ter voorbereiding van die
onderskeie ouderdomsgroepe se kriekettoere wat in Desember regoor die land plaasvind, gehou. Die o.13-span verloor met 48 lopies tydens ‘n wedstryd met 50 boulbeurte terwyl die res van die spanne slegs T20wedstryde gespeel het. Die o.15-span moes het ‘n loesing gekry terwyl die o.17- en o.19-span onderskeidelik met 40 en 65 lopies gesneuwel het.
Narrow victory for Impalas against Griquas Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com
T
he Limpopo Impalas got back to winning ways in their Cricket South Africa (CSA) 50-over Rural League fixture against Griquas in Kimberley on Saturday to win their first match of the 2014/15 cricket season. After losing to North West in Polokwane and against Mpumalanga in White River in their first two league fixtures, the Impalas scored a narrow 11-run victory on Saturday in a low scoring match to get their campaign back on track to qualify for the CSA Rural Week next year. The Impalas scored 143 all out after batting first on a lively pitch. Tian Koekemoer (30) and Ruann Willemse (27) were the only Impala batsmen to score meaningful runs. During the Griquas’ turn to bat, Impala captain Henk
Holtzhausen produced an outstanding bowling display to take 7/35 in his allotted ten overs to help bowl out the home side for only 132 runs for a memorable first victory of the season. The Impalas will have to be at their best in their next league fixture against Gauteng at the Polokwane Cricket Club next Saturday. However, coach Dewald Weterman said the team will be confident after their victory against Griquas. He added that the batsmen must start scoring more runs to put less pressure on the bowlers in their remaining league fixtures. The Limpopo Lilies women cricket team will play two away fixtures against Mpumalanga in Middelburg over the weekend. The Lilies face Mpumalanga in a 50-over clash on Saturday before taking on the same opponents in a T20 match on Sunday.

Jannie Sacco wins first gold medal as Grandmaster A
fter celebrating his 60th birthday at the beginning of November, Run/Walk for Life Polokwane club member Jannie Sacco participated in his first 10 km road race at the BB Motor Group GWM Nite Race in the Grandmaster category to win the gold medal in his new category and R200 in prize money. Sacco said he is enjoying road running as much since turning sixty as when he started road running in 1996. “Now that I am competing in the Grandmaster category, the other runners must look out as I am feeling as fit and healthy as when I ran my first Comrades Marathon in 1997. I am very proud to win my first race in the Grandmaster category at the Nite Race two weeks ago in a reasonable time of just over 46 minutes,” Sacco commented in an interview on Tuesday. He said he will be giving the Comrades Marathon a miss next year and rather wants to concentrate on the Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town during Easter 2015. He and his younger brother, Bobby has already started with their training for the Two Oceans next year. The Sacco brothers are familiar faces on the local road running circuit, but Bobby still has two years left in the Masters category before he will join his older brother in the Grandmaster division. Jannie encourages all people to take up road running as it keeps a person fit, healthy and young at heart.

Multiple awards for PEPPS Preparatory School’s Thalia Pereira >> Shares Agape Award and Trust Ambassadors Trophy >> Likes to assist fellow learners WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com
M
ulti-award winning PEPPS Preparatory School Grade 7 learner, Thalia Pereira surpassed her highest expectations during the school’s prize-giving ceremony recently to walk away with three prestigious awards. Thalia won the Female Hockey Player of the Year Award for representing the Limpopo u.13 hockey team at the interprovincial tournament in Cape Town earlier this year, where she also received an award for best player of the tournament. She also won the Hockey Player of the Year Award in 2013. The 13-year-old also shared the PEPPS Preparatory School Agape Award and Trust Ambassadors Trophy with fellow learner and head girl, Emma Melville to round of a memorable achievement in her last year as a primary school learner. She is also a prefect at the school and enjoys helping other learners both academically and on the sports field. Thalia
has been attending PEPPS Preparatory School since Grade 1 and has been one of the leaders academically, and excelled in hockey, swimming, athletics, netball and public speaking. She describes being at PEPPS as a true family atmosphere where everybody cares about their fellow learner and the teachers go out of their way to provide a culture of learning excellence. “Winning the Agape Award means a lot to me as it is awarded to learners that show God-given kindness and love to their fellow human beings. As a Christian receiving the award meant I have been doing the right thing to assist other learners at the school to glorify God and to set an example to other children using sound Christian principles in life,” Thalia explained. Sharing the Trust Ambassadors Award also meant a lot to Thalia as the younger learners look upon her as a role model. She thanked all her peers and the educators at PEPPS for the faith and trust shown over the years to help her in win the awards. “Before you earn respect, you have to give respect and learn to respect others. Just because you’re a prefect does not mean you are better than everybody else, because as a prefect you are there to assist the other learners and show them the way,” is Thalia’s advice to other young leaders. Although she only started playing hockey two years ago, her natural talent, lots of

hard work on her game and listening to the advice of her coaches has seen her receive provincial colours in 2014. An added surprise was to be named as player of the tournament out of all the junior girls in the country that showcased their hockey talent in Cape Town during the July school holidays. As an outdoor and adventurous person who likes challenges, Thalia wants to improve her hockey skills while at high school and continue playing hockey when she is at university. After breaking both her arms while trying to go down a water slide on her feet a few years ago and taking considerable time to heal properly, Thalia wants to study physiotherapy at the University of Pretoria after high school. Thalia said she will miss her classmates and teachers when she starts with her high schooling at Curro Heuwelkruin in 2015. She is looking forward to continue achieving provincial colours in hockey at her new school and continuing to prosper with her studies in order to reach her goal of treating people with sports injuries when she enters the adult world in five years’ time.
