n a hot summer’s afternoon pleas by a group of annoyed inviduals are swept away on a blustery August wind, symbolically indicative of numerous attempts in vain to solicit the help of all they could think of at provincial and local government level for their plight to be heard. A discontent group of former Disteneng dwellers is in despair over a relocation process that went horribly wrong, seemingly having been mistakenly dumped on private property earmarked for residential

Speaking on behalf of the group, David Mbombi told Polokwane Observer that they were relocated by Polokwane Municipality to a portion of land identified as Extension 106 on 16 November last year after an undertaking to have them relocated to Extension 78 opposite the road from Disteneng.

Amok by dagsorgsentrum toe vrou wapen op skoonma rig Van bl 1 Bezuidenhout se botsing met die gereg begin toe sy haar skoonma se huis, waar ‘n dagsorgsentrum bedryf word, met haar polisieman se dienspistool ingestorm en glo op haar skoonma gerig het. Sy het blykbaar gesê: “Ek gaan jou skiet.” Volgens betroubare inligting het haar man haar van agter vasgegryp en die vuurwapen afgeneem. Sy is kort na die voorval gearresteer en na die polisieselle geneem waar sy toe na bewering ‘n oordosis pille geneem het en daarna na ‘n plaaslike hospitaal gehaas is,” sê die bron. Bezuidenhout het die naweek tot en met haar hofverskyning glo onder polisiebewaking in die hospitaal deurgebring. “Die hof het Bezuidenhout in die sorg van haar pa vrygelaat op voorwaarde dat sy nie naby die dagsorgsentrum kom nie. Sy het egter Maandag saam met familielede weer die sentrum besoek om van haar besittings te kry. ‘n Bakleiery het toe ontstaan en ‘n ouer van die dagsorgsentrum het die polisie ontbied. Haar pa het net na die polisie opgedaag en haar van die perseel verwyder,” sê die bron. Polokwane polisiewoordvoerder, Lesiba Ramoshaba het die voorval bevestig. “Volgens die verklaring het Bezuidenhout die huis ingestorm en die wapen glo op haar skoonma gerig. Die slagoffer het Bezuidenhout probeer kalmeer totdat haar (Bezuidenhout) se man ingegryp het,” sê Ramoshaba. Polokwane Observer het verneem dat die saak weer in Oktober voorkom en dat die klag moontlik na poging tot moord kan verander.

Katryn takes international crown

Local beauty and Miss Humanity International South Africa title holder, Katryn Barwise made international headlines on the weekend when she won the Miss Humanity International 2014 pageant in Barbados. From the Miss Humanity International Organisation’s facebook page containing the list of winners, it is clear that Katryn is also bound

to bring home a host of related titles of Best Humanitarian Advocacy, Continental Queen of Africa, Best National Costume, Best Gown and Best Interview. Before departing for Barbados Katryn showed off the designs of La Collezione dei Conti in Sandton during a photo shoot with Polokwane Observer, local print media sponsor for the Miss Humanity South Africa

pageant which she has been steering the past couple of months. By contending for first place Katryn was up against beauties from across the world. Second place went to Megan Small from the USA, followed by Tanika Walton from Barbados, Natalia Wolfe from Trinidad and Tobago and Carene Vertus from Haiti.

they were informed to leave the property and resettle on the other side of the boundary marker. According to information the property is destined for expansion of a residential development. Now the constructed fence divides the private property and an adjoining extension where more shacks dot the landscape. Mbombi stressed the occupants of the 33 households were not opposed to moving elsewhere, but when they had to do so they wanted to be relocated to the permanent yard at Extension 78 where they believed they would get better services and would be recognised by the ward councillor, which was not currently the case. Extension 78 was closer to town and they would be closer to their people, he explained. Their last hope was a meeting they were currently attempting to secure with recently appointed Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng after being referred to her by the Police on Monday when they wanted to register a case relating to earlier attempts by municipal officials to intimidate them and force them to move, Mbombi alleged. Visuals proving such attempts to convince them to move from the property, he said, would also be included in a DVD he intended producing in future, along with a book on their journey which he was busy writing.

Scanning the surrounds of the extension the disgruntled group is occupying, the scenario could be considered enough reason for despair. Despite the benefit of a view of the city in the distance, life on the wrong side of the fence is dominated by a stretch of arid land, a stream of litter scattered across the landscape and the ever present offensive ablution facility on one end. Approached for comment, Matome Maponya Investments Property Development Head Cornel Mulder confirmed that the group was mistakenly relocated onto a portion of their land by the municipality, which was also confirmed by a land surveyor. They were not going to forcefully remove anyone from the land but sought to resolve the issue as amicably as possible, he said. They were awaiting a response from Polokwane Municipality, which admitted to being at fault in writing. They expected the municipality to come up with a solution by the end of this week as determined by a letter dated beginning of July this year. According to Mulder they would expect the dwellers to be off the land by the time they started the next phase of the proposed extension to Mahlako-a-Phala Gardens residential development towards the end of the year or beginning of next year. In commenting Polokwane Municipality’s Communications and Marketing Manager Tidimalo Chuene confirmed that Extension 106 belonged to the municipality and Extension 109 to a private person. She is quoted verbatim: “The oversight was due to the fact that the Municipality and the land surveyors could not properly identify the boundaries of Extension 106 which is sharing borders with Extension 109. The municipality does not have land surveyors on its current payroll and still rely on outsourcing and/or using surveyors from Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta). At the time Coghsta was assisting the municipality, with lead from the approved General Plan. “The said private owner has in an effort to protect his land from illegal land invasions which were rife prior to the national and provincial elections, fenced a number of resident’s shacks which have encroached in his property. The owner brought the matter to the attention of the municipality, where the latter employed the services of land surveyors to investigate and verify the complaint by the MMI. It was confirmed by the land surveyors that indeed the Municipality has encroached. “The Municipality had a meeting with representatives of MMI were a request for sixty days starting from 1 July 2014 was made to MMI to allow the municipality to remove the people who have encroached into the private property of MMI and placed them in the municipal land.” On the issue of concern about ablution facilities posing a health hazard she said reports from their service provider indicated that the facility was being maintained. “The sanitation business unit is also looking at possible options of providing additional facilities and having them serviced more frequently.”

Horrible mistake From page 1 turned right in the direction of Seshego upon leaving Disteneng that day they realised they were being taken elsewhere. They were subsequently informed that they were taken to a temporary area along the old road to Seshego, on arrival establishing that the premises was merely equipped with a single tap and a portable toilet, he continued. Mbombi pointed out that none of the services were being maintained and that the ablution facility was a health hazard filled to the brim with worms. Since having been left there to their own devices they launched several attempts to have their plight addressed, including meetings with municipal councillors as well as a march jointly conducted with Disteneng residents to the Premier’s Office in February this year during which a memorandum with grievances was handed over, Mbombi stated referring to a response by the Premier to the effect that their grievances have been forwarded to the mayor. Nine months down the line they are faced with another challenge arising from the section they occupied having been fenced off in mid-April this year as the portion of land in actual fact belonged to local property developer Matome Maponya Investments and not the municipality, it was learnt. Mbombi said on 15 April this year the fence went up and

Muni manager’s matric questioned RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

hile doubt has been expressed from several quarters over the existence of Polokwane Municipal Manager Conny Mamatja’s matric qualification she has provided Polokwane Observer with a copy of a Senior Certificate issued in her name yet not reflecting her identity number or date of birth Mametja’s curriculum vitae makes no reference to a matric qualification. According to a personal credential verification certificate containing her vetting results done by Managed Integrity Evaluation (MIE) her matric qualification for the year 1987 at Marobathota High School could not be confirmed. The results state that verification was attempted but that the Department of Education could not assist the process without a copy of the certificate and that there is no listing available for the school nor did her employee file contain such a copy. Annoyed about the matter being questioned with the municipality’s communications department Mametja invited Polokwane Observer for an interview in order to provide the

publication with her matric certificate. “For some reason my certificate, which I submitted was not in my employee file. I come from an educated family where my parents and siblings all hold degrees. I don’t know why my matric qualification is being questioned,” she said. Mametja said a matric qualification is not important to her and offered that as reason why no mention is made of it is made in her CV. “Any applicant needs at least a degree when applying for the position of municipal manager and I have a Masters of Administration degree,” she said. Mametja was formerly employed as acting Municipal Manager and then Manager at the Greater Tzaneen Municipality before being appointed as Polokwane Municipal Manager in July 2012. Polokwane Observer tried to verify Mametja’s matric certificate with the Department of Education but Spokesperson Kaela Galane referred the publication to the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training (Umalusi). An employee in the council’s certification department confirmed that a matric certificate should either contain a learner’s identification number or at

least a date of birth. On Mametja’s matric certificate the space allocated for this information is filled with Xs. Polokwane Observer was then referred to the national Department of Education and was at the time of going to press informed that Spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga was on leave and no one else was able to assist.

The Provincial Police is offering a R100 000 reward for information that could lead to an arrest and successful conviction in the murder of a 60-yearold woman in Mbilwi, just outside Sibasa in May this year. Ronel Otto, Spokesperson for the Provincial Police said Elina Mphaphuli’s mutilated body, covered by a towel, was found between rocks. “The Police suspect that she was killed for muti

Polokwane Municipality has urged residents to urgently save water as limited water is being supplied from the city’s biggest sources since Tuesday. Municipal Spokesperson Malesela Maubane said water shortages were already experienced in Ster Park, Flora Park, Môregloed and Thornhill. “The shortage is caused by technical challenges at the water plants at the Ebenezer, Olifantspoort and

Dap Naudé dams. Little water is pumped to the city’s reservoirs from these sources,” he said, adding that Lepelle Northern Water is working around the clock to rectify the situation. Yesterday (Wednesday) the 50 mega litre and new 30 mega litre reservoirs measured at only 9% and 10% respectively while the old, recently refurbished 30 mega litre reservoir remained empty.

Otto said the Provincial Commissioner, Fannie Masemola believes there are people within the community who have information which could be crucial to the investigation and help find the persons responsible for this crime. “We want to encourage our citizens to do what is right.

CRIME shorts Man trampled to death by elephant

The body of a man believed to have been trampled to death by an elephant was found in the Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage Site in Limpopo a media release by South African National Parks (Sanparks) stated on Monday. Spokeswoman for Sanparks, Divhani Maremba said rangers in the western part of the park found the body of a man in his early 40s on Saturday. “It is believed that he might have been trampled to death by an elephant.

Man arrested for rape

A 21-year-old man from Jane Furse was arrested on Monday and will appear in the Nebo Magistrate’s Court soon on charges of rape. Spokesperson for Jane Furse Police, Thapelo Lesufi said the suspect had allegedly on Thursday lured a seven-year-old girl into his room and raped her. He said the Police are also investigating allegations by the brother of the victim that the same happened before. “It is also alleged that he bribed her with money in exchange for her silence,” Lesufi said. He said the Police urge members of the public and especially women to report any criminal activities of abuse and rape immediately.

Suspects linked to six cases of rape, robbery

Two men suspected of robbing and raping a 33-year-old woman in Malipsdrift near Lebowakgomo on Tuesday appeared in the Malipsdrift Periodical Court on Tuesday and are remanded in custody until 27 August for further investigation and bail application. The possibility that they might have been involved in more incidents of crime is still being investigated and identification parades will be held to that effect. Provincial Police Spokesperson, Ronel Otto said the suspects are linked to six more cases of rape and robbery. She said the woman was apparently overpowered and kidnapped and forced into the suspect’s vehicle before they drove to dense bushes close to Shutalale village. “They both raped her and robbed her of her shoes, R150 cash and bank cards after forcing her to disclose the pin numbers,” Otto said. She said the traumatised woman managed to walk to a public road where a passing motorist assisted her and took her to the Malipsdrift Police Station. The Police, who were patrolling the area, was informed of the incident and they managed to spot the suspects and chased them down. “The stolen goods were recovered in their vehicle and they were arrested on charges of kidnapping, rape and robbery and the vehicle was confiscated,” Otto said.

Makoti Friday Ramaila (45) who was arrested for the murder of Solomon Maunatlala from Masoma village appeared in the Maake Magistrate’s Court on Monday and the case was postponed for a bail application on Wednesday. Provincial Police Spokesperson, Ronel Otto said Maunatlala of Lephepane village was found dead on the premises of his liquor outlet at Madibogo Bar Lounge on 16 August.

Otto continued saying that it appears as if he had been stoned to death.

Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Tsietsi Lamola sê Babanto Chauke is dood nadat hy met lemoene teen sy kop gepeper is na ‘n bakleiery onder die plaaswerkers uitgebreek het. Chauke was glo ‘n Mosambiekse burger.

Alleged rapists case moved Three men accused of raping and killing an

83-year-old woman appeared in the Tiyani Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday and was postponed to tomorrow (Friday). Provincial Police Spokesperson, Hangwani Mulaudzi said the matter was moved to the Tshitale Magistrate’s Court for logistical reasons and the case against Happy Mohale (24), Stanley Zwidofhela Mugwena (27) and Thomas Serepa (29) was postponed to Friday. He said the woman from Sereni village outside Makhado was attacked and killed on Saturday. Her alleged attackers were arrested on Tuesday. “They allegedly forced their way into her room and demanded money. They then dragged her to nearby bushes where they allegedly raped and assaulted her,” Mulaudzi said. He said they left her in the bushes, returned to her house and set it alight. Neighbours who noticed the flames rushed to her house. “They found her in a very bad condition,” Mulaudzi said. She was admitted to the Elim Hospital where she died.

Beweerde Kiesling-moordenaar steeds in aanhouding Die 16-jarige familielid wat na bewering ‘n boer en sy vrou op ‘n plaas naby die Zanzibargrenspos vermoor het, het op 14 Augustus in die Mokopane Streekhof onskuldig op aanklagte van moord en diefstal gepleit en bly in aanhouding in ‘n plek van veilige bewaring tot 12 September wanneer hy weer in die hof verskyn. Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, Ronel Otto sê die minderjarige word aangekla van moord op Will (69) and Anjé (66) Kiesling nadat die egpaar in Maart op hul plaas doodgeskiet is. Sy sê die seun het voor die moorde by die Kieslings op die plaas gekuier. Na bewering het die seun met ‘n geweer wat aan die Kieslings behoort, hul bakkie en selfone gevlug.

Task team to address service issues in Mankweng RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com A task team consisting of community leaders and community structure representatives in Mankweng was formed to assess and list service delivery issues in the area after last week’s protest action against Polokwane Municipality over alleged service delivery issues. This task team is the result of a meeting between last Thursday community members and municipal officials, including Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng and Municipal Manager Conny Mametja. In an interview with

>> R13 million water debt written off in 2009 for Mankweng residents

Polokwane Observer on Monday Nkadimeng said the issues in Mankweng are threefold – water, electricity and assessment rates. “Polokwane Municipality wrote off almost R13 million of water debt from Mankweng residents in 2009 and they are currently owing approximately R160 million,” she also attributed most issues as being related to the poor billing system. “The meter system is unreliable, there are households without meters and at some places more than one house is connected to one meter. The good news is that within nine months the municipality will start implementing the

smart meter system which will not only replace the current metering system, but will eliminate human errors from the billing system,” Nkadimeng said. She referred to the recent adoption of the new rates policy by Council saying that the biggest issue in terms of rates is the lack of understanding among people in the rural areas. “They do not understand that assessment rates are coupled with property value and it differs from service rates. The municipality also implemented the indigent programme where low income residents can qualify for free basic services, but they need to come to the munici-

WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Businesses in Schoeman Street between Bodenstein and Rabe streets have lodged several complaints with the Polokwane Municipality about leaking sewage from a drain that flows down the street in front of their premises causing an unbearable stench. The businesses allege that the problem started two months ago and despite several calls to the municipality to report the matter, the raw sewage continued to flow down the street in front of their premises. Several funeral parlours, the offices of Transport, Safety, Security and Liaison, an engineering business and the entrance to Assupol are affected by the stinking mess that had not been fixed by Tuesday afternoon. When Polokwane Observer visited the site on Monday afternoon the awful stench from the leaking sewage could be smelt from Rabe Street and the overflowing drain continued to spew its contents much to the disgust of passers-by. On Tuesday morning the situation remained the same despite the municipality being informed about the problem. The affected businesses commented that they pay rates for services rendered by the municipality and cannot understand why it takes so long for the municipality to respond to the problem as it creates a bad impression on visitors to the area. Tidimalo Chuene, Communications and Marketing Manager at Polokwane Municipality said the leaking sewerage was fixed by Wednesday morning, although water is still flowing into the street from the premises of Transport, Safety, Security and Liaison. According to Chuene the department has been notified about the water leak and the problem should be rectified soon. Any water and sanitation challenges can be reported on 015 290 2376.

pal offices to register,” she stated. According to Nkadimeng two substations in Mankweng are already functioning to full capacity, a situation that is worsened by illegal connections. “About 2 600 households in new extensions still need to be electrified in Mankweng. We are still waiting for Eskom to provide us on a full report on a possible partnership to provide these residents with electricity,” she concluded. The 13 protesters arrested were all released on bail and are expected to appear in the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court again on 22 September.

Veldbrand verwoes huis op Myngenoegen Yvet Westcott en haar ma, Skat voor haar (Yvet) se huis wat deur ‘n brand verwoes is.

BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com ‘n Veldbrand wat deur wind vererger is, het verlede Donderdag ‘n huis se grasdak op die Myngenoegen hoewes verwoes en aansienlike water- en rookskade is aangerig terwyl die plaaslike brandweer moedig geveg het om te keer dat die brand nie na ‘n aangrensende huis versprei nie. Die eienaar van die huis, Yvet Westcott het Vrydagoggend aan Polokwane Observer gesê dat die dak omstreeks eenuur die vorige dag aan die brand geraak het toe ‘n veldbrand wat op aangrensende hoewes gewoed het, na haar huis versprei het.

Die brandweer was gou op die toneel omdat hulle reeds besig was om die veldbrand onder beheer te kry. Nadat die vlamme geblus is, het behulpsame bure gehelp om die meubels en anders besittings uit die huis te verwyder, maar onherstelbare skade was reeds aangerig aan die kaste en ander toebehore in die huis. Volgens Westcott het die brand weer tweekeer gedurende die nag opgevlam, maar bure het gehelp om dit te blus. “Ons is baie dankbaar vir die hulp wat die Myngenoegen gemeenskap en die brandweerdienste wat gekeer het dat die brand nie na my ma se woning langsaan versprei het nie.”

Legislature Member Dan Sebabi.

About a week after the collision that claimed the life of a Curro Heuwelkruin learner, the dreaded road to Mogwadi was the scene for another crash that resulted in Legislature Member Dan Sebabi being injured. From his hospital bed he explained he was travelling from his home village of De Vrede back to Polokwane on Saturday at around 19:30 when his recently acquired Mercedes ML was hit by an oncoming truck. The accident occurred halfway between Polokwane and Mogwadi around 30km from town, it was learnt. According to Sebabi the driver of the truck veered over into his lane whereupon the truck crashed with his vehicle, hitting it on the front right side. The driver, whom he suspected got drowsy on the stretch of road and

steered a heavy vehicle fitted with a foreign number plate, appearently did not stop at the scene and drove on. He said a passing motorist called the Police and emergency services and he had to be extricated from the vehicle. During the accident he fractured his right ankle and thumb, resulting in an operation upon admission to hospital, he said. Sebabi, the provincial leader of Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) until his inauguration as a member of the Legislature, expressed concern about the hazardous route that has claimed many lives in the past and heavy vehicles posing a threat on the roads. A week ago Polokwane Observer reported on 18-year-old Nicole Botha having died in a collision on the same road on 14 August, a week after Curro Heuwelkruin’s matric farewell.

he sanctity of the Muslim Trust building in the Polokwane Cemetery in Dahl Street was violated when criminals on Monday broke into the building to steal chrome taps and at the same time vandalised nearly 40 tombstones. Spokesperson for Polokwane Police, Ntobeng Phala said the criminals gained entry into the building by forcing open the burglar proof mesh, breaking a window and the door to steal about 12 chrome mixer taps and vandalise the lights. Abdul Samed Alli, Spokesperson for the Polokwane Muslim Burial Association said about 40 tombstones were vandalised. “The criminals removed the steel pens that keep the tombstones in an upright position. This is a huge financial setback because each tombstone costs about R400,” he said. According to Phala the cemetery manager informed the Police about the break-in and that an electrical cable of about 120 m had been stolen. He added the security guards from a local security company, contracted by Polokwane

Municipality was nowhere to be seen during the break in. “Two guards are supposed to patrol the grounds at night. The municipality again has to spend thousands of Rand a mere two months after they replaced another cable that was stolen at the cemetery,” Phala said. Communications and Marketing Manager at Polokwane Municipality, Tidimalo Chuene said according to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) the security company employed by the municipality was supposed to deploy two officers for the night shift. “They have since increased the guards to three per night, but the municipality will monitor the situation,” Chuene said. He said the Police must be given the opportunity to investigate the matter while an internal report has been submitted to the Municipal Manager with recommendations. “The decision about who will be responsible for the damages will be influenced by the outcome of the report and a legal opinion in terms of SLA conditions will be reached. Preliminary investigations put the estimated damages at R10 000,” Chuene said.

Members of the Fire and Rescue team of the Polokwane Municipality and a WoF fire-fighting crew at the scene of the fire at the Polokwane Short Circuit Race Track last Wednesday.

Fire causes dark cloud over track Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

avourable wind conditions last Wednesday caused a veld fire that started adjacent to the Silicon Road to spread rapidly in the direction of the Polokwane Short Circuit Race Track where abandoned tyres around the outskirts of the track caught fire resulting in a huge pall of black smoke that could be seen kilometres away. The Polokwane Fire Brigade and members of Working on Fire (WoF) Limpopo were quick to respond and had their hands full to contain the fire and stop it from spreading to the neighbouring motocross track and across the Silicon Road to the game reserve. The thick smoke from the fire also affected visibility for motorists using the road.

Head of Communications and Marketing at Polokwane Municipality, Tidimalo Chuene said the municipality’s Fire and Rescue team together with WoF ground fire-fighting crews responded to a fire call at the race track on Wednesday afternoon caused by a grass fire that spread to the race track and set alight tyres placed alongside the track. She added that eight fire and rescue calls were received between 13:00 and 16:30 last Wednesday including the fire at the race track. “The fire at the race track was suppressed with the majority of tyres burnt out and an outbuilding used as a starting point for races damaged,” Chuene said. With dry, windy August weather creating favourable conditions for veld fires, all fire and rescue matters can be reported to 015 290 2000/ 290 2403/ 290 2457/ 290 2458 or 290 2480.

Oliebesoedeling hou gevaar vir motorbestuurders in

Die olie wat deur ‘n motorbestuurder in die straatoppervlak afgetap is, loop in die stormwaterpyp af na die Floraparkdam. ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com Terwyl inwoners deesdae byna weekliks met kommer kennis neem van rioolbesmetting in die Sandrivierbedding, gaan morsjorse in die stad ongestoord voort met ongewenste en verbode praktyke wat die omgewing verniel en verdere vernietigende implikasies vir die

lewenskwaliteit van mens en dier inhou. ‘n Inwoner van Florapark, Christoffel Snyman het vandeesweek met verdoemende foto’s van motorolie-besoedeling by Polokwane Observer se kantore aangeklop. Snyman sê herstelwerk is Saterdagoggend aan ‘n blou Mazda-bakkie in Kremetartstraat naby die Floraparkdam gedoen. “Die bakkie moes onklaar geraak het, want die bestuurder het die olie sommer daar en dan in die straat, sonder enige voorsorgmaatrëels, afgetap,” sê Snyman. Hy sê hy het die man genader, maar dié het hom summier in gekruide taal weggejaag. “Die olie het reeds oor die ryvlak van die pad versprei en hou ‘n gevaar vir motoriste en motorfietsryers in, om nie eers te praat van die plaveisel wat nou ‘n seeroog is nie.” Snyman sê die olie loop af na die stormwaterpyp wat na die Floraparkdam lei. “Daar is heelwat visse wat kan vrek as gevolg van die besoedeling,” sê hy en voeg by dat sand later oor ‘n gedeelte van die oliekol gegooi is, maar ‘n groot gedeelte net so gelaat is. Die woordvoerder van Polokwane Munisipaliteit, Tidimalo Chuene sê die motorbestuurder, wat reeds deur middel van sy motorregistrasienommer opgespoor is, het teen die wet opgetree en ‘n boete van R1 200 sal deur die munisipaliteit opgelê word.

Roudiens vir HTS-leerder sonder sy pa RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com ‘n Roudiens is Dinsdag vanuit die Agapé Christengemeente vir Zander Smith (14) gehou terwyl sy pa, Pieter, steeds in die Eugene Marais Hospitaal in Pretoria behandel word. Zander, ‘n graad 8-leerder van Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé is verlede Sondag tydens ‘n fratsongeluk op hul plaas dood en sy pa se linkerarm is ernstig beseer in ‘n poging om sy seun se lewe te probeer red. Zander se klere het aan ‘n staalstaaf van ‘n meganisme van die windpomp verstrengel geraak. Sy pa het hom probeer bevry en sy arm in die proses baie ernstig beseer. Sedert die ongeluk het Pieter verskeie operasies ondergaan en dokters het dit selfs oorweeg om sy arm te amputeer nadat hul vroeër ‘n aar uit sy been verwyder en in sy arm oorgeplant het om bloedtoevoer te ver-

beter. Hy het ook behandeling in ‘n hoëdruksuurstoftenk ontvang. “Pieter word elke derde dag geopereer om beskadigde weefsel aan sy arm te versorg en te behandel. Dokters wou nie die risiko op infeksie waag nie en het aanbeveel dat hy nie sy seun se roudiens bywoon nie,” sê Zander se graadvoog, Karin de Jager. ‘n Video-opname van die roudiens is vir Pieter gemaak.

Teëspoed tref White-gesin ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com “Ek het nie woorde om te beskryf hoe ek voel of wat om te dink nie.” Die hartseer lê vlak in Ria White, ‘n werknemer by ‘n plaaslike insleepdiens, se oë nadat sy haar oudste seun, Stiaan (21) op 17 Augustus aan die dood moes afstaan. Intussen sien sy ook om na haar man, Hansie, wat in die Polokwane Provinsiale Hospitaal aansterk nadat hy byna drie maande moes wag vir ‘n veloorplantingsoperasie aan sy linkerbeen na ‘n motorfietsongeluk vroeër vanjaar. Volgens Ria is daar nog heelwat onduidelikheid oor die motorongeluk wat haar seun se dood in Lephalale minder as twee maande na sy mondigwording geëis het. “Al wat ek weet, is dat Stiaan en twee vriende daardie aand, terwyl hulle op pad was om wegneemetes te gaan koop, teen ‘n steenkoolvragmotor gebots het. Stiaan en ‘n vriend is op slag dood terwyl die bestuurder van die motor ernstige beserings opgedoen het,” sê Ria en voeg by dat sy eers die volgende dag deur ‘n vriendin van die ongeluk en haar seun se dood verwittig is. Weens haar man se ernstige beserings, is hy egter aan die hospitaalbed gekluister en sal nie hul seun se gedenkdiens môre (Vrydag) in Pretoria kan bywoon nie. Ria sê haar man, ‘n entoesiastiese motor-

fietsryer, was kort voor Stiaan se verjaardag in Junie op pad na ‘n lodge buite Makhado om finale reëlings vir die verjaarsdagvieringe te tref toe hy vir ‘n aankomende vragmotor uitgeswaai, beheer oor sy motorfiets verloor en teen ‘n kantreëling Foto: Verskaf gebots het.

Hy het Maandag met sy rekordeksamen begin. Ria sê die rampspoed het die gesin, vandat hulle drie jaar gelede uit Pretoria na Polokwane verhuis het, erg getref. “Maar ons probeer positief bly en glo God voorsien op vreemde maniere.”

Sapa Yopa reaches out to women in prison

isiting hour at the Womens’ Section at the Polokwane Prison took on a new meaning when a crowd of motor cyclists from Sapa Yopa Motor Cycle Club arrived at the prison on Sunday morning to show female inmates that they are also remembered during Women’s Month.

Sapa Yopa President Sarel Nong and member Cassius Mlondobozi.

Safety, Security and Liaison MEC, Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana also joined the group and was ushered into the premises on the back of a powerful machine. There are currently 42 sentenced and five awaiting-trial prisoners in the Womens’ Section of which two have their babies with them. The visitors took the opportunity to speak to the inmates and were invited to view the special unit for mothers with toddlers that was recently renovated by the South African Local Government Association (Salga) Limpopo. Correctional Services’ Area Commissioner for Limpopo, Kenneth Mthombeni told Polokwane Observer that rehabilitation is a social responsibility. “The more partners we have, the better. We are enhancing the dignity of the

offenders and that will assist in the process of rehabilitation. They are no longer the outcasts of the community,” he said. Mokaba-Phukwana briefly addressed the inmates and referred to the fact that her late mother, Priscilla Mokaba, a former activist and veteran of the liberation struggle, was also detained in prison during the 1980s. She encouraged them to take advantage of the opportunity to study and develop skills and enquired about the progress with their studies. She also took time to show affection to the two babies in the Section.

SANDF Surgeon General, Aubrey Sedibe took to the podium to address the delegates and soldiers.

SAMHS is the Arm of Service responsible for the well-being of all soldiers of the SANDF and will provide free health assessments to all military veterans in Polokwane from 26 to 29 August. The Surgeon General of the SANDF, Aubrey Sedibe officially launched the outreach activities during a medal parade at Jack Botes Hall. Following the parade, medals for loyal service were bestowed on several members who had come from across the country. In his address Sedibe said it was an honour and a privilege to celebrate the rich history of SAMHS after it was initiated three years ago. The medals awarded are proof of where they come from and what they have achieved, he said and added that it visually reflects the pride and willingness of those members to give their best to the service and the country. “Your dedication to the community is for a greater cause because not only do we serve the brave, but you also work hard to earn the honours which you can wear with pride,” Sedibe said and continued that a soldiers’ task is to defend the democracy and justice of the country. “Your duty to maintain peace in South Africa is a huge responsibility and it requires courage and discipline.” He said when there is peace in the world soldiers prepare for war and the military needs the best of the best that are willing to wear the uniform and serve the nation. It is not just a job, but a calling,” he said. He reiterated that SAMHS has the best specialists in the country that ensure a healthy military community. The celebrations also included an exhibition by the SAMHS to showcase some of the unique equipment they use during deployments and disasters, as well as demonstrations by the Military Health Training formation. Upon conclusion of the official proceedings Sedibe cut the ribbon that marked the opening of the health assessment week where all military veterans can go for assessments such as dental screening, HIV/Aids counselling, basic eye tests and dietician and biokinetic services, and to inspect the various exhibitions.

Police Commissioner condemns mob justice, ritual killings >> Chauke not the only one killed because of witchcraft-related activities >> Accusations of witchcraft can lead to violations of a wide range of human rights ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com A spate of witchcraft-related incidents in the province necessitated the recent unveiling of a tombstone to commemorate the death of women and children killed this year. This was part of a crime awareness campaign on ritual murders, witchcraft and mob justice hosted at Thomo Sports Grounds in Giyani by National Police Commissioner Riyah Phiyega on Saturday. Provincial Police Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi in a press statement said Phiyega, joined by Transport, Safety Security and Liaison MEC, Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana and Provincial Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola, addressed the community about issues pertaining to witchcraft, ritual murders and mob justice, all of which remain a serious challenge. “This morning, we unveiled a tombstone in remembrance of all the members of the community who were victims of unlawful killings in the name of witchcraft, mob justice and ritual killings,” Phiyega is quoted to have said at the time. She reportedly referred to the worrying situation encountered in Dzinghi-Dzinghi when community members took the law into their own hands assuming that the police were taking too long to arrest a suspect who had been on the run.

Capricorn muni, development bank meet to address water infrastructure RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com The executive committee of Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) is in the process to evaluate available models of funding and choose appropriate support as proposed by the Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA) when representatives of the two entities, led by CDM Executive Mayor Gilbert Kganyago and DBSA Chief Operations Officer, Dawie Mocke met last week. CDM Media Liaison Officer Moffat Senyatsi in a statement said that strides to develop water infrastructure and move closer to clearing water backlogs are likely to get a major boost to augment groundwater with surface water supply after the meeting. “During the meeting analysis and assessment was made of the status quo of service delivery in Capricorn district,” the statement read. It further listed the available finance support interventions to include loan facility, frontloading and project finance while the non-finance support options mentioned are institutional capacity support and asset management support, from which the municipality can choose. The proposed intervention comes at a time when CDM is pressing ahead with programmes to reduce infrastructure delivery backlogs especially in bulk water supply owing to limited capital funding, over-reliance on boreholes, ageing infrastructure, dysfunctional completed projects and scarcity of natural water sources. The statement also quoted Mocke to have said that DBSA only gives this support to nonmetro municipalities so as to develop infrastructure and reduce backlogs in water. “Planning the support process takes about five stages where the municipality approaches DBSA for intervention, do an assessment on infrastructure delivery, agree on areas that require such support and then enter into an agreement before funding or support is provided,” Mocke reportedly explained.

This suspect was later arrested in North West. Referring to an incident of mob justice at Mninghinisi Phiyega said it had become apparent to the Police that the burning of houses and accusing people of witchcraft was becoming a trend. She said a 14-year-old child was killed in another incident of mob justice at Letsitele, a case was opened after which a 29-yearold person was apprehended for the murder and is being detained. In Giyani, six suspects were granted bail of R1 500 each for the death of Catherina NkovaniChauke (52) who was stoned to death and set alight after being

accused of witchcraft in Thomo village on 28 April. In Namakgale, the community took two people to a soccer field, accused them of murdering someone and stoned them to death. Thirty-three-year-old Mercy Ndou from Hamakuya Guyuni village died in what appeared to have been a ritual killing seeing that her genitals and right leg had been removed. Phiyega further said: “Our assessment further found that some victims, especially in murder-related cases, were elderly people with no food or clothing. The Police will not ignore these incidents,” the statement read.

Limpopo to host national Tourism Month HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

ational Tourism Month 2015 will be hosted by Limpopo, Thulani Nzima, Chief Executive Officer of South African Tourism said during the launch of Tourism Month in Gauteng on Tuesday. Polokwane Observer was the only media house from the province to have been invited by South African Tourism to attend the launch. Nzima said hosting the event will give Limpopo an opportunity to show the world what it can offer in terms of Tourism. “We decided that Limpopo will host the event next year because it is capable and it possesses unique tourism attractions. Limpopo is one of the less visited provinces in the country and this is the opportunity for the province to get exposure” Spokesperson for Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA), Mike Tauatsoala said they are happy to have been chosen as the host. “It will be the second time we host the event. We did so in 2010 and it was a success. We want to improve on our success and stage an even better event,’’ Tauatsoala said. Tourism Month is a major event on the South African tourism calendar and provinces take turns to host the event thereby gaining access to a wider market. This year’s launch was however moved from the host province, Northern Cape, to Gauteng to accommodate Tourism Minister Derek Hanekom’s demanding schedule. World Tourism Day will however be celebrated in the Northern Cape on 27 September under the theme “Tourism and Development in the Community”. During the launch Hanekom called on all South Africans to take time to visit the sites

and attractions around the country associated with the late Nelson Manadela. “This Tourism Month, the first without our beloved Tata Madiba in our presence, we encourage everyone to honour his legacy by visiting those sites and attractions. To make it as easy as possible for all South Africans to do this, South African Tourism has developed the Madiba-inspired Tourists Attractions map that highlights these attractions and provides all the information necessary to plan your visits,” Hanekom said. To access the map visit mandela.southfrica. net.

Green Scorpions to sting illegal sand mining activities WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Illegal sand mining operations in Limpopo and the rest of the country will be firmly in the sights of environmental management inspectors, commonly known as the Green Scorpions during a sand mining blitz this month. The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) will issue a media statement reflecting the consolidated outcomes from the enforcement activities in the various provinces, upon completing of the blitz at the end of the week. A media release issued by the DEA last week stated that the blitz is a joint national and provincial compliance and enforcement initiative which is aimed at addressing the environmental and water aspects of unlawful sand mining operations. The damage caused by these operations has been identified as one of the key drivers of biodiversity loss. The media statement continued that the damage to the environment is the end result of

many of these unlawful sand mining operations that abandon mining sites without implementing any form of rehabilitation once the resource is depleted. Irreparable degradation to the environment often results from these illegal activities which become a legacy which future generations will need to address. The national focus on illegal sand mining started as a pilot project in 2010 in Limpopo and has subsequently continued over the past three years in the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Northern Cape, Mpumalanga, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Gauteng. In a recent joint operation between the Department of Mineral Resources and the Green Scorpions from the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs resulted in the confiscation of heavy duty machinery used in the removal of sand. Investigations are at an advanced stage in the matter and will be forwarded for prosecution soon, according to DEA media liaison officer, Janine Hambury.

David Booth, Relay For Life-koördineerder.

ansa se Relay for Life afloswedloop vind vanjaar op 10 Oktober by die ou Peter Mokaba Stadion plaas en bied ‘n geleentheid vir gesonde ontspanning en deelname aan een van Kansa se grootste geldinsamelingsaktiwiteite van die jaar. Die stadion se tartanbaan leen hom uitstekend tot die geleentheid en spanne van tien tot 15 mense met baniere en spandrag kan vanaf 18:00 tot die volgende oggend, wanneer ‘n douvoordagontbyt om 06:00 aangebied word, beurtelings om die baan stap. Kankeroorlewendes gaan die eerste rondte om die baan stap waarna die publiek vir die tweede rondte by hulle aansluit. David Booth, Relay for Life-koördineerder sê dat 7 786 stappers verlede jaar vir die pretloop ingeskryf het en alles dui daarop dat vanjaar ‘n groter sukses gaan wees. Individue kan ook inskryf. Deelname kos R50 per persoon of R500 per span. Voorsiening word vir genoeg kosstalletjies gemaak en geen diere, drank of oop vure word op die terrein toegelaat nie. Daar mag slegs in ‘n afgesperde area gerook word en geen voertuie word op die baan toegelaat nie. Booth spreek sy dank uit teenoor almal wat reeds geregistreer het en nooi die publiek uit om hom by 083 655 2678 te skakel.

ANC’s Peter Mokaba region geared to go >> Date for regional conference set for end September >> Line-ups lobbying for support for Thembi Nkadimeng, Dewet Monakedi, Gilbert Kganyago YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Months after a court application to stop the ruling party conference in Peter Mokaba Region, the structure is expected to forge ahead with a re-run towards the end of next month. Amid the hype about a new leadership structure to replace the existing regional task team, fresh new line-ups are emerging. It was learnt that the date for the next regional conference has been set for 26 and 27 September and that all is going well as the region is gearing up for the conference. With branch general meetings (BGMs) underway the names of candidates proposed for contesting the regional chairperson’s position and that of the remaining four in the top structure are doing the rounds in conversations and via text message. As far as could be established the two most obvious line-ups are apparently lobbying for support for Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng and ex-Capricorn District Executive Mayor Dewet Monakedi, who is apparently leading by a margin. The Nkadimeng-led line-up apparently includes Transport, Safety and Liaison MEC Mapula Mokaba-Phokwana. All the while a third possibility has just been made known and is popularising Capricorn District Executive Mayor Gilbert Kganyago as taker of the top position in a new proposal by a grouping that would want to see Nkadimeng as deputy chair as well as the likes of Matlala Maremane as regional secretary, Chuene Malebana as his deputy and Daisy Sebati as treasurer. The move, a source said, was aimed at avoiding two centres of power. According to information just over 100 of the 121 branches in the region have made the audits and branches have until 21 September to finalise their mandates and nominate delegates to attend the conference, Polokwane Observer was told. With the line-ups seemingly changing still, a source alluded to the fact that the preferences were likely to change until about two weeks prior the conference with the likelihood that it could still happen until the commencement of the event.

Miss SA road show promotes beauty H

ealth is more than a well kept body, it is linked to the mind, soul and spirit and women are wonderfull examples thereof. This is the message that reigning Miss South Africa 2014, Rolene Strauss shared with the female students at the University of Limpopo as part of the Miss SA road show on Monday. Strauss and former Miss SA and National Executive of the pageant, Melinda Bam embarked on the Miss South Africa 2015 road show in celebration of Women’s Month and to promote the pageant in all the provinces. They spoke about their personal ambitions and being driven to achieve success, revealed who they are beneath all the makeup and glitz and disclosed what it will take

for prospective entrants to walk away with the Miss SA 2015 crown at Sun City in March next year. Strauss said women are the glue that keeps the country together because they are valuable. “It is possible to be fearless and feminine and to be healthy and successful at the same time. I have a passion for being healthy and inspiring other women to be the same. Even though I was criticised on Facebook and Twitter for being ‘fat’, I love who I am and how I look,” she said. Strauss said popular culture and mass media portray beauty as superficial, unattainable and unrealistic and sends a dangerous message influencing young women’s self-image. “Miss SA is a brand that embraces what it means to be feminine, but also places equal emphasis on and exemplifies the deeper value of beauty with a purpose that empowers other women to have an enlightened self-image and selfworth.” Bam inspired the students not to change because someone else might not like the way you look. “So many young girls are focused on what they look like, the way they dress, the shoes they wear and how much make-up they should use, but in the end you are more valuable than your appearance. You can’t change the world around you unless you think you can change inside first,” she said. To stress what they advocate, the two took off all their

Miss Limpopo makes history by receiving humanitarian award ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien.observer@gmail.com Reigning Miss Limpopo, Kholofelo Lekganyane was recently awarded by the South African Liberation of Independent Training and Intelligence Growth (Salitig) Training College for being the youngest humanitarian and ambassador for Limpopo. Ronald Malatjie, Chief Executive Officer of Salitig Training Institute said the institution joined by Makwena Legoete, Caretaker at the Jack Botes Hall, wanted to award Lekganyane for the work she does in the community. The award was handed to Lekganyane

during Salitig Training Institute’s recent graduation ceremony at Jack Botes Hall. Lekganyane said her hard work and community involvement attracted attention as she has proven that a beauty queen is someone who is beautiful on the inside and out. She added that a beauty queen is someone who is concerned about the well-being of others. “I was summoned by the great chief Nekhongoni of Venda on 22 July to address the youth on living a positive lifestyle. The chief said teen pregnancies and school drop-outs are on the increase,” she said. Lekganyane said she was humbled and honoured to be approached by the chief. “It is not every day that a chief summons a beauty queen,” she said. Malatjie said the award was supported though not awarded by the Office of the Premier. Photo: Roelien Vorster

make-up and jewellery halfway through the presentation. “Your appearance is not the best part of you,” Bam said and continued that women are required to think like a man, act like a lady, look like a model and work like a horse. “You are more valuable that your appearance.” Strauss and Bam also encouraged the students to enter the Miss SA pageant saying that the competition - which has become part and parcel of South African life - is a powerful platform for developing potential and a celebration of the country’s savvy, smart and beautiful young women who are determined to be the best they can be while being true to themselves. Entries for Miss South Africa 2015 close on 31 August and entry forms are available on misssa.co.za.

Die betrokkenheid van sowat 1 200 stappers het dit moontlik gemaak dat ‘n bedrag van R671 000 die afgelope vyf jaar aan die Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika oorhandig kon word,” sê LéAndrie Bezuidenhout, 2014

Stap-vir-Bybels-sameroeper. Die wenspan is dié span wat die meeste rondtes om die baan stap. Daar is ook ‘n Trap-virBybels waar ‘n bergfietswedren plaasvind en Superhero-vir-Bybels waar spanne oor ‘n hindernisbaan meeding. Vanjaar se gaskunstenaars is die bekende Hennie Jacobs (Diederik van 7de Laan) en Willie en die Wenspan, terwyl verskeie plaaslike kunstenaars ook optree. Heelwat kindervermaak soos springkastele, glybane, gesigverf, perdritte, boog- en windbuks-skiet word verskaf om die kleingoed besig te hou. ‘n Groentemark met vars produkte en gewilde kosstalletjies waar vroue heerlike boerekos voorberei, sal verseker dat niemand hongerly nie. Die dag word met ‘n potjiekoskompetisie afgesluit waarna die potjiekos verkoop word. Enige vorm van hulp om die dag moontlik te maak soos borgskappe en ondersteuning van spanne, sal waardeer word. Bezuidenhout kan by 082 797 3227 geskakel word. Haar e-posadres is admin@stapvirbybels. co.za.

Die Vryburgers se twaalfde jaarlikse wynveiling vir liefdadigheid vind volgende Donderdagaand by die Pietersburgklub plaas en beloof om gesellige samesyn vir wynliefhebbers te bied. Bekende afslaer, Aggie Ströh, vanjaar se stuurman (voorsitter) sal die veiling vir die twaalfde keer behartig en seker maak dat goeie pryse behaal word terwyl kopers steeds goeie waarde vir hul geld kry. Die wyne word deur die Vryburgers en boeregemeenskap van Robertson in die Boland geskenk en die geld wat ingesamel word, word tussen die plaaslike korps van die Vryburgers van Polokwane en Robertson verdeel. Die begunstigdes van die plaaslike Vryburgers is Pathways, Hieb, Polokwane Nasorgsentrum vir Volwasse Geestelik Gestremdes, Bela Vista Tehuis, die Koningskinders en die Ondersteuningsraad van die Hervormde Kerk. Volgens Vryburger Adriaan van der Walt is die tipiese koper by die wynveiling ‘n gewone wynliefhebber wat bereid is om ‘n goeie saak te ondersteun. Die wyn wat verkoop word, is nie versamelaarsitems nie en behoort elkeen se sak te pas. Die Vryburgers is ‘n Afrikaanse diensorganisasie wat sedert 1963 bestaan en tans 20 korpse landswyd het. Die lede is sakemanne en individue wat saamwerk om geld in te samel en aan verdienstelike instellings bystand verleen. Toegang tot die veiling is gratis en keurwyne kan ook geproe word.

Celebrating women with Grace and inspiration ROELIEN VORSTER >> roelien. observer@ gmail.com

Groot pryse in Mall of the North se troukompetisie

Augustus 28, 2014

Remarkable women come in all shapes and sizes and Grace Sibara is a truly remarkable and inspiring woman. Not only is she the owner of Hayani Guest House outside town, she was also a teacher for 20 years at Marobatotha High School in Boyne before she became an entrepreneur by selling clothes and perfume. She also ran a catering business and owned a curtain and soft furnishing shop in town. Currently she is the treasurer of the Provincial Business Women Association (BMA), secretary of South African Women Entrepreneurs Network, a member of the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce, a board member of Meropa Casino & Entertainment World and Childline Limpopo, the founding member of the Limpopo Tourism Club and a mentee of the Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA) and Tourism Enterprise Partnership (TEP). She has come a long way since her humble beginnings when she converted PhOTO: ROELIEN VORSTER a three-bedroom The owner of Hayani Guesthouse, Grace Sibara house in Flora Park into a guest house. in her traditional attire.

>> Hayani means home in Tshivenda >> Women should ask what they are doing to empower themselves Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism 19 Biccard Street, Polokwane Private Bag X9484, Polokwane, 0700

Although her husband, Mbudzeni Sibara was not too thrilled with the idea at first he quickly realised that her dream was becoming a reality after she added four more rooms. “I conducted research by visiting other lodges and guest houses when I realised there was a huge shortage of such facilities in and around town. I wanted to offer a place where people can feel at home, but where they can also work,” Sibara said. She obtained a property adjacent to the Polokwane Game Reserve which she immediately fell in love with and development of Hayani Guest House commenced in 2003. “At that time it was the first guest house owned by a female black person in town. Guests love it here not only because it is in the bush, but it is close enough to town as well.” Sibara said the property is also next to the Bakone Malapa Museum which showcases a typical cultural setting. “Hayani means home in Tshivenda and this is what I wanted to create, a place where people feel at home.” While celebrating Women’s Month, Sibara said women should ask what they are doing to empower themselves, other women in the surrounding communities including girl children and also other businesswomen. “In retrospect, celebrating Women’s Month should be ongoing. Although there is still a lot that can be done, look at the progress we’ve made so far. The late Albertina Sisulu is an inspiration because she embraced all challenges by fighting back while empowering men and women.” Sibara said the Department of Economic Development and Tourism

(Ledet) has not only supported her as an individual, but also as a businesswoman while providing the necessary skills and development training to be a successful business owner. “They taught us amongst others computer skills, proper costing and pricing and customer service while playing an ongoing mentoring role. We always access information through the offices of Ledet because when opportunities arise we are also the first to know and act accordingly. This generates more profit for the business and always results in business growth. I cannot function without Ledet’s support,” said Sibara. She said Ledet always support women associations for small, medium, micro enterprises in all five districts of the province through various programmes. They assist in securing venues for meetings and trainings and also act as mentors for us. She is involved in youth development and aims to continue developing her business while assisting and training others. She mentors tourism students and assists needy learners with shoes or stationery.” What sets her establishment apart from other guest houses is the traditional Venda cuisine on offer. “I have a passion for people and entertaining. I love cooking and people often remark about my cooking skills,” she laughed. To inspire other women, Sibara said they should be persistent when following their dreams. “Nobody invests in talkers. Stand up, take the risk and follow your dream. But, alone you cannot make it, you need to network and engage with other business owners,” she said.

en eiesoortige styl beïndruk. Met sy vier-oktaafstem en stemtoertjies het hy veral met liedjies soos Die Onverkrygbare, My pop val stukkend en Apie sy uitsonderlike talent onderstreep. Hy en Daniella Deysel het ‘n paar van die liedjies van hul album, Posduif wat onlangs uitgereik is, gesing. Hy was deel van Boo!, die eklektiese drietal wat wêreldwyd kultusaanhang verwerf het. Chameleon het gedurende 2004 sy vlerke gesprei en alleen begin optree waarna verskeie buitelandse toere gevolg het. Sy debuutalbum, Ek herhaal Jou het aan hom ‘n Samatoekenning vir beste kontemporêre album besorg en verskeie ander musiektoekennings het gevolg, onder meer ‘n erepenning van die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns. Chameleon is ook ‘n suksesvolle akteur en TV-aanbieder. Hanno Becker, een van die organiseerders van die geleentheid wat ten bate van die Afrikaanse Protestante Kerk gehou is, sê dat die vol saal ‘n aanduiding van die gewildheid van Chameleon as begaafde kunstenaar is.

First Rangers Day celebration for Lim WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Limpopo celebrated its first World Rangers Day at the Makapan Valley World Heritage Site last Tuesday by lighting candles and planting trees as a tribute to the over 600 rangers serving in more than 40 state owned nature reserves throughout the province. The first World Rangers Day was held in 2007 and hosted by the International Ranger Federation. The day is observed annually on 31 July by ranger associations and governments worldwide to celebrate the custodians of wild animals in national parks and to pay tribute to those rangers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, Seaparo Sekoati addressed the delegates and handed over tokens of gratitude to rangers and reserve managers for their contribution towards protecting Limpopo’s precious environmental heritage for the future. He also participated in the lighting of candles and planting trees in a strong show of solidarity with the rangers. The annual Rhino Conservation Awards were also held in Johannesburg recently to coincide with the celebration of World Rangers Day. The awards were held in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Affairs and the Game Rangers’ Association of Africa to honour individuals and organisations involved in rhino conservation. The awards were made in five categories: Best Field Ranger, Best Conservation Practitioner, Best Political and Judicial Support, Best Science Research and Technology and Best Awareness, Education or Funding. Two field rangers from the Kruger National Park, Amos Mzimba and Wilson Siwela were named the runners-up in the Best Field Ranger category.

Loslitdag het oor die jare ‘n instelling vir baie Suid-Afrikaanse sakeondernemings geword en sommige maatskappye gebruik dit as ‘n korporatiewe spanboudag terwyl hulle ‘n bydrae vir ‘n goeie saak maak. Die projek word deur die Nasionale Raad vir Persone met Liggaamlike Gestremdheid in Suid-Afrika beheer. In Polokwane neem die Vereniging vir Per-

RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

Prism Architects (Pty) Ltd won a Diamond Award (Outstanding, 1st overall) in the Leaders and Achievers category for achievers rated 2014 on their contribution to the economy and development of Limpopo.

ny business requires economic and political stability to go forward. This is the opinion of Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng who addressed guests at the annual PMR.africa Limpopo Provincial Survey Leaders and Achievers Awards Breakfast held at Bolivia Lodge on Monday. “Polokwane remains the City of Stars and the investment choice among thousands. We know the provision of water, sanitation and electricity put extra pressure on local businesses and the moratorium on development is still in place which further hampers growth,” she said. She referred to the water infrastructure which in some areas are older than 60 years and that the municipality is in the process to replace the old water pipes with new ones. “I am confident that the future looks bright. With the smart city concept Polokwane will soon be a stable service provision city hosting flourishing businesses.” She urged guests to respect municipal bylaws and to be actively involved in decision taking processes to benefit the city. Chief Executive Officer of PMR.africa Johan Hattingh explained the purpose of the awards saying that PMR.africa wants to acknowledge contribution and initiatives, strategies and efforts by the business fraternity. “A PMR award can also be used as marketing and sales tool as well as motivation for personnel. Respect yourself, respect everybody you deal with and a company will flourish,” he said. The awards are indicators of a company, department or institution’s competencies. “The awards are the culmination of a research process whereby companies and institutions are

rated based on respondents’ perceptions with a strong focus on evaluating and measuring customer service and customer satisfaction. The award status criteria are Diamond Arrow ranked first overall and rated at least 4,1 out of 5, Golden Arrow first or second overall and rated at least 3,75 and Silver/Bronze Arrow rated at least 3,4,” Hattingh explained.

Suzuki SX4 - a trendsetter with sporty characteristics RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

pring is in the air and it is time to explore the province’s scenic routes. For this purpose the obvious choice should be a vehicle that offers unrivalled style, practicality, all-terrain versatility and outright value – the new Suzuki SX4. The original SX4 was one of the pioneers of the C-segment crossover market and now the latest iteration of this distinctive vehicle establishes new standards that propel the attractive sporty and inherently versatile SUV to even greater heights. At Suzuki Polokwane the new SX4 has created an infectious enthusiasm among the sales team. The combination of bold, contemporary styling with high levels of comfort, practicality, efficiency and dynamics represents the optimal choice for families with active lifestyles. The design is more striking and the design team employed sharp and edgy character lines that flow from the front bumper along the full length of the body. A slight concave contour that enhances the dynamic look and emotional appeal of the SX4 was also incorporated. A rounded bonnet design builds on the sporty look, along with integrated roof

rails, finished in black on the GL or silver on the GLX versions. The high spec model is also distinguished by classy silver trim for the front, rear and side under-body garnishes, as well as colour coded door handles and front fog lamps with chrome accents. The inherent sportiness and upmarket appeal o the SX4’s exterior design is carried through to the contemporary interior design. An all new instrument panel and dashboard are a key element of the sophisticated new cabin. It incorporates soft padded surfaces that impart a feeling of expansiveness and top tactile quality. It is further emphasised by the inclusion of metallic highlights, which contrast with the cabin’s smart, charcoal keynote hue. Occupant comfort has always been a key selling point of the SX4 and the new model boasts extensive improvements in this department. By virtue of the increased overall length and wheelbase, the cabin is a substantial 220 mm longer and 35 mm wider. As far as the engines are concerned, the distinctive crossover embraces a new generation 1,6-litre 16 valve petrol engine equipped with the latest tech-

nology and sophisticated safety systems. The four-cylinder unit features a lightweight design with extremely low levels of friction in the interest of performance and fuel efficiency. In addition the power unit benefits from improved exhaust and cooling systems, as well as a new engine mounting system, all of which optimise engine output and economy while reducing cabin noise. It produces 86 kW of power at 6 000 rpm allied to 156 Nm or torque at 4 400 rpm. The SX4 offers 5,8 litre per 100 km on a combined fuel consump-

tion cycle. In an event of emergency the SX4 is equally well equipped to assist the driver in avoiding a collision or to protect the occupants in an impact. It is equipped with Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).

>> Vehicles can travel between 60 km/h and 80 km/h >> Support vehicles for breakdowns and luggage are also part of the convoy RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

lmost 30 members of the Micro Car Club of South Africa are currently taking on the Kruger National Park (KNP) in micro vehicles dating back to the 1950s. These members gathered outside Polokwane on Sunday before embarking on a journey to Haenertsburg where they spent the night before continuing towards KNP. They will

be returning to Polokwane on Sunday. “The run is part of the club’s 25th anniversary. Within the first ten years of the club’s existence we had our first Limpopo Run which was followed by a rally from Johannesburg to Durban and Johannesburg to Cape Town,” said Chairperson Lottiar Fröhlich. Most vehicles are dating back to the 1950s and can only travel at speeds between 60 km/h and 80 km/h. The convoy exists of brands such as Gogomobil, Messerschmitt and Autobianchi. “These vehicles don’t have space for luggage so we have a support vehicle transporting luggage as well as another support vehicle with a trailer should the vehicles break down. We are planning on entering the Phalaborwa gate of the KNP travelling north and exit the park at Punda Maria. We will then also spend some time at Forever Resort Tshipise and Makhado before making our way back to Polokwane,” Fröhlich said.

Protect yourself against rental fraud T

he last thing persons looking to find a rental home want is to fall victim to fraud. Adrian Goslett, Chief Executive Officer of RE/ MAX Southern Africa warned that rental scam incidences are becoming more common. “Unfortunately there is a criminal element that is taking advantage of prospective tenants who are involved in the rental-hunting process. Tenants are often emotionally driven when it comes to looking for their ideal rental home, which could make them vulnerable to the advances of possible fraudulent activity. Enthusiastic about the prospect of finding a new home, eager tenants might be more trusting and susceptible to rental scams,” Goslett was quoted to have said adding that there is also the factor of time. “Tenants, who have a limited time frame in which to find a home due to relocation for work or possible personal issues, could be more desperate to find a place to stay and not be as cautious in their approach.” How do rental scams work? Goslett said that essentially what happens is a scammer will try and get money from a potential tenant for a rental property that they are not in a legal position to offer for rental. The rental property could either be real or fictitious, with the scammer possibly a landlord or merely impersonating the landlord or rental agent. Once the unsuspecting tenant has transferred the agreed upon rental and deposit, the scammer disappears. To lower the chances of becoming rental scam victims keep your guard up and never assume that because the property was found

on a reputable online search portal that you can’t fall victim to scammers who are posing as landlords or rental agents. “If at any stage of the process you feel there is something wrong, the whole thing is rushed with unwarranted sales pressure or seems too good to be true – walk away,” he said. Be aware of the red flags Never transfer or send money without having met the landlord or rental agent and seen the rental property. “It is generally never a good idea to pay money for something that you have not seen or inspected. There is cause for concern if the landlord expects you to make the payment based purely on website photos and before the property has been looked at,” Goslett warned. Landlords and rental agents will normally

want to vet a potential tenant and complete a credit check before the rental is confirmed, so beware of landlords who are too eager to sign the lease agreement without the appropriate procedures. Be wary of landlords or rental agents who request excessive deposit amounts or too many months upfront or are never able to meet and show you the property in person. Don’t trust a landlord who says that no lease agreement is required. “Firstly it is never in the tenant’s best interest as the lease offers them protection and secondly, a landlord who doesn’t want to enter into a lease agreement may not have one to offer in the first place.” While an attorney is not required when entering into a lease agreement, it’s generally a good idea to have legal representation review

the agreement before it is signed. “While there is no guarantee against rental fraud, prospective tenants will be far less vulnerable in the market if they are vigilant and aware of the warning signs. It is vital that tenants deal with rental agents from a reputable agency that they know and trust,” Goslett concluded.

The first Education DialogueSA outside Gauteng was held in Limpopo on Monday when Deputy Minister of Basic Education, Enver Surty facilitated the event hosted by the Limpopo Department of Education (LDE). Education DialogueSA is a partnership between the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) that was launched in 2013 between business, labour and civil society to support the National Development Plan (NDP), with special focus on the Education Sector Plan (ESP). Present at the dialogue was MEC for Education, Thembisile Nwedamutswu and senior managers from LDE, the Chief Executive of NECT, Godwin Khosa, representatives from independent schools, private business partners, educators’ union representatives and members of civil society involved with education. Surty, who also serves as the Co-Chairperson of Education DialogueSA said the talks aim to bring the key stakeholders for effective education in the country together to share ideas on taking education to new levels of competence. He added that several key issues have been identified to address the current shortfalls within the education sector, from Early Childhood Development (ECD) to tertiary education. Surty urged all stakeholders involved with education to attend further Education DialogueSA sessions that will be held throughout South Africa to come up with long-standing solutions to collectively address the current problems facing education in the country. “We have had frank and robust discussions with all nine MECs to date and are serious about moving forward to deliver quality education to all South Africans,” he said. One of the key issues on Monday’s agenda was taking educator professionalism and school ethos a step further. Education DialogueSA is geared towards making schools and teachers more effective. Professionalism of teaching, supporting the capacity of the state to deliver, effective leadership, resourcing of schools, community and parent involvement, promoting community and parent involvement are six themes for action that have been identified at the inaugural meeting in Johannesburg. Addressing delegates on Monday, NECT Chief Executive Godwin Khosa said parent involvement in their children’s education is essential in modern society. He also highlighted the disparities in resources allocated to schools, especially those in the poorer areas. Khosa said the NECT already has a number of interventions in place at struggling schools in the Vhembe and Waterberg districts of Limpopo. The province has the highest number of schools in the country that are collaborating with the NECT. Four schools in the Vhembe district have been successfully renovated using unemployed youth trained in construction and the aim is to renovate a further 50 schools by the end of the year, according to Khosa. The NECT programme in Limpopo focuses on dysfunctional schools in the province with a three-year turn around strategy being implemented at these schools. “The Fresh Start School programme is in place. Fresh Start aims to completely revamp 350 schools over a period of three years. Lead agencies have been contracted in priority provinces such as Limpopo, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, and have been implementing an inception phase, which will provide for a careful threeyear implementation planning and initiate support activities in the Fresh Start Schools,” Khosa explained.

Pietersburg Comprehensive School debate team shines Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Pietersburg Comprehensive School (PCS) recently kicked dust in the eyes of their opponents during the Polokwane Schools friendly debate hosted by Pietersburg English Medium Primary School (Pemps). The other participants were Mitchell House and PEPPS. During the contest PCS proposed the motion “Are South African soccer stadiums more beneficial than costly?” PCS head girl and member of the winning team, Mahlako Kgomoeswana said credit should go to her team mates for the hard work they put in the competition and for ensuring that they emerged as the victors of the competition. “We did a lot of research prior the competition and we made sure that our presentations are on point,” Mahlako said.

PHS is derde jaar in ‘n ry

grootskole Beeldtrofee-kampioene >> ‘n Verbete naelbytstryd tot einde >> Derde agtereenvolgende jaar Beeldtrofee-wenners vir grootskole

et groot vreugde en verligting het Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) se o.16Arugbykaptein, Franco van der Watt na afloop van Saterdag se finaal van die gesogte Beeldtrofee, die grootskoletrofee met trots omhoog gehou. PHS en Hoërskool Ben Vorster het sake op Hoërskool Klerksdorp se veld uitgespook. Dit is as ‘n naelbytstryd beskryf, maar PHS het daarin geslaag om 25-22 te seëvier. Ben Vorster het van meet af die oorhand tydens die wedstryd gehad en met elke los bal agter die doellyn gaan kuier. Hoewel dit

aanvanklik gelyk het of PHS se spelers nie antwoorde gehad het nie, het hulle stadig maar seker hulle ritme gevind. Minute voor die halftydfluitjie systap Miguel de Sousa minstens ses van sy opponente en druk ‘n uitmuntende drie wat deur Morné Venter verdoel is. Morné het ook met een strafskop geslaag. Met die rustydtelling van 22-13 in Ben Vorster se guns, het afrigters, Sybrand Koedyk en Paul Erasmus die span bymekaar getrek en ‘n paar harde woorde gewissel. In die tweede helfte was dit duidelik dat die ondervinding wat PHS se spelers in die twee vorige Beeldtrofee-finale opgedoen, ‘n rol begin speel het. Hul basiese spel het aansienlik verbeter en is in punte omgeskakel. Drie minute voor die eindfluitjie die einde van die verbete stryd aangekondig het, het onderkaptein, Zander Human vir die wendrie oorgeduik. Met die telling op 25-22 in die guns van PHS, het Ben Vorster die bal in die hande

gekry en na PHS se doellyn gedryf. PHS het vier strafskoppe afgestaan, maar kon daarin slaag om Ben Vorster se dryfbewegings te stuit en te keer dat hulle oor die doellyn duik. Trane het vrylik gevloei toe die eindfluitjie blaas en PHS hulle doelwit, om die eerste skool in die huidige Beeldtrofeekompetisie te word met ‘n span wat die trofee drie keer in ‘n ry omhoog hou, bereik het. Die puntemakers was Miguel de Sousa, TJ Roos, JV Coertze en Zander Human wat elk ‘n drie gedruk het en Morné Venter wat ‘n straf- en doelskop deur die pale gestuur het. Miguel de Sousa is as speler van die wedstryd aangewys. PHS bedank hul borge wat die o.16-span se seisoen finansieel moontlik gemaak het: Ricoh Limpopo (hoofborg), Seeff, Televonic, Xpress Network Solutions, Splash, Keystone Investments, CJ Makelaars, Accurate Assessing Services, Viljoen Beverages en Laeveld Agrochem (amptelike broekborg).

Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) se o.16A-rugbyspan is die trotse wenners van die gesogte Beeldtrofee vir grootskole. Die span het hul onberispelike rekord van die vorige twee jaar as o.14- en o.15-span herhaal toe hulle ook die Beeldtrofee gelig het. Spankaptein, Franco van der Watt het Saterdag na afloop van die eindstryd met trots die trofee bo sy kop gehou nadat hulle die span van Hoërskool Ben Vorster met 25- 22 in die stof laat byt het na ‘n taai wedstryd wat op Hoërskool Klerksdorp se veld gespeel is. PHS moes konstant verdedig en teen rustyd het Ben Vorster 22-13 voorgeloop. Pieties het egter koppe opgetel en op hul aanvalstrategie en verdediging verbeter. Zander Human het daarin geslaag om voor die eindfluitjie oor die doellyn te duik. Miguel de Sousa is as Man van die Wedstryd aangewys.

South Africa u.20 ready for Cameroon Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za The South African u.20 national soccer team trained by recently appointed Bafana Bafana coach, Shakes Mashaba will host their Cameroonian counterparts at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday for their second leg match of the 2015 African Youth Championships. The team has been in Polokwane since Monday and engaged in friendly matches with local teams from Moletjie and surrounds as part of their preparations. Mashaba’s boys defeated Mahwayi Young Stars from Moletjie 10-0 at Seshego Stadium on Tuesday. Striker Dikgang Ncobo netted four on the day, while Tshepo Chained scored two. Other goals were scored by Hashim Domingo, Morné Nel, Skhumbuzo Mazibuku and Siyanda Ngubo. Mashaba thanked Mahwayi Young Stars for helping them to prepare for the match. “First of all we would like to thank Young Stars for helping us with our preparations. Now we know where we need to rectify, what we need to work on. It is always good to have

training sessions but such games gives us a chance to implement what we do at training and we can see where things are not working. It was a good game; they have some good players and most importantly they play as a team. But we were on a different level and I can safely say at their level they will suprise many teams. The good thing is that they have given us some homework to do in our remaining sessions,” a press statement released by South African Football Association yesterday (Wednesday) quoted Mashaba to have said. Communications and Marketing Manager at Polokwane Municipality, Tidimalo Chuene said they are happy to host the South African national team and Cameroon at the stadium. “Hosting a game of this magnitude always creates an opportunity for the city to demonstrate its infrastructure and logistical capacity, which is an important element of investment attraction. The games also provide much envisaged spectacular entertainment for the people of Limpopo,” Chuene said. Kickoff is scheduled for 15:00.

Een punt verskil tussen verloor of wen Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Die Suid-Afrikaanse Rugby-unie (SARU) Amateur Rugbyweek het Vrydag ten einde geloop met die Limpopo Blou Bulle wat teen die Pumas in hul laaste wedstryd van die toernooi te staan gekom het, met die hoop om hulle eerste sege in die kompetisie aan te teken. Dit was egter tevergeefs en Limpopo het die onderspit met een punt 17-18 gedelf. Limpopo het teen rustyd 12-5 voorgeloop nadat hulle in die eerste helfte met ‘n sterk wind van agter gespeel het. Die Pumas het met twee strafskoppe vroeg in die tweede helfte die telling na 12-11 laat krimp. Daarna het hulle ‘n verdoelde drie na ‘n fout deur Limpopo aangeteken om die voortou met 18-12 te neem. Limpopo het met die laaste beweging van die wedstryd ‘n drie in die regterhoek gedruk om met 17-18 terug te veg. ‘n Moeilike doelskop deur plaasvervanger losskakel, Zander Byleveldt was onsuksesvol en Limpopo het met een punt verloor. Die was ‘n teleurstellende einde vir die Limpopospan wat hul eerste wedstryd met 17-24

teen die Goue Leeus en die tweede wedstryd teen ‘n Blou Bulle Uitnodigingspan verloor het. Die Limpopo Blou Bulle het goeie rugby tydens die toernooi gespeel, maar slegte balretensie, swak verdediging en ‘n gebrek aan konsentrasie het hulle duur te staan gekom. Die adjunkpresident van die Limpopo Blou Bulle Rugby-unie, Charles van Wyk het sy teleurstelling in die span se vertonings en ook die hoeveelheid ondersteuners wat die wedstryde bygewoon het uitgespreek. “Rugby was deurgaans van ‘n hoë gehalte en ons het meer verwag van Polokwane se rugbygeesdriftiges. Toegang was gratis en die land se beste amateurspelers was in aksie, maar die bywoning van die plaaslike toeskouers was teleurstellend. SARU se toekenning vir komende kragmetings is gebaseer op die vertoning van die tuisspan en die hoeveelheid toeskouers wat die wedstryde bywoon. Die leë pawiljoene het nie ‘n goeie indruk van Limpopo geskep nie,” het van Wyk gesê.

Nedbank Ke Yona Team has four Lim players Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Limpopo has four representatives in the 2014 Nedbank Ke Yona Team which will face the current Nedbank Cup Champions, Orlando Pirates in September. Also known as the “Idols of Football”, the second season of the Nedbank Ke Yona Team search saw a total of 3 900 football players invited to the six regional trials held earlier this year, with a select group of 48 players chosen for the boot camps and various elimination rounds. More than 43 000 preliminary entries were received. Defenders Surprise Mawela, Japhta Phokela, Maphosa Modiba and striker Mahlatse Mogale from Limpopo were chosen for the final 18-man squad that will face Orlando Pirates next month. Their selection comes after months of rigorous training after which the final squad was chosen by seasoned coaches

Khabo Zonde, Owen Da Gama and Mike Mangena. The squad will have to quickly get over their initial excitement of being selected as the final training camp resumed in Johannesburg on Monday, where the team will be fine-tuned for their clash against Pirates. Nedbank Divisional Executive for Group Marketing, Sydney Mbhele said the Nedbank Ke Yona Team initiative shows that Nedbank remains committed to the communities they serve. “I am pleased to see how Nedbank has developed men from different backgrounds into a formidable team which is ready to tackle any opponent. These men have risen to the occasion and demonstrated the discipline, talent and dedication required to be extraordinary. It is such people that inspire Nedbank to continue to empower current and future sporting stars and their communities with the resources they need to make their goals happen,” Mbhele explained.

Club members and nonmembers are welcome to bring their vehicles, families and friends. Participants can enter their vehicles at a cost of R200 while entry for adults is R20, and for children R10, with kids under 12 entering for free. Food and beverages will be on sale at the clubhouse.

Limpopo artist takes Gauteng art scene by storm BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

hehla Chepape Makgato stages his second sole exhibition of works of art, named “Voices from the Koppie: Towards Speculative Realism” at the Michaelis Art Library in Johannesburg until 13 September. Makgato was born in Johannesburg and raised in Makotopong village, outside Polokwane. His first solo show held in Johannesburg during 2013 was titled “Marikana: Truth, Probability and Paradox. He enrolled at Artist Proof Studio in Johannesburg from 2009 to 2012 to study Printmaking. He participated in a number of art community projects and international art exchange programmes while completing a three year Professional Printmaking course. He is currently studying for a three year Diploma in Media Practice, majoring in Journalism. According to a press statement provided by Makgato, the exhibition is a narration of his interpretation of what has become of Marikana. The concept of labour, mining and migration in the country fascinates him and his work

delves into the labour relations and economic inequalities between workers and employers, as well as issues of labour unrest. Besides working and studying, Makgato initiated a community art organisation called Samanthole Creative Projects in 2010 which aims to provide art skills, encourage reading of poetry and literature and motivate the youth in rural Limpopo. From 2010 to 2012, he prepared grant proposals, developed budgets and obtained funding from private donors for arts workshops in Ga-Mothiba, Thohoyandou and Kromhoek Ga-Makgato. He recruited young people to attend, got support from the local community halls where the workshops were held, and led successful workshops including exhibitions of the resulting paintings, drawings, tie-dyed textiles and handmade books. His long-term goal is to develop a sustainable arts education centre to cater for rural youths. Makgato says that he was one of two South African delegates and one of three South African Development Community regional youth delegates to the 2012 Africa Utopia Youth Arts, Cultural and Olympia Festivals of the

World at the Southbank Centre in London, UK. He has participated in numerous group art exhibitions both locally and internationally (Johannesburg, Polokwane, Cape Town, Washington DC and London). He has won a studio art bursary from the African Arts Trust to be a resident artist at Assemblage Studios from June 2014 to May 2015.
