From page 1 with regards to suspected tender fraud at local and provincial government levels gives rise to five areas of growing concern. These include alleged corruption related to a multi-million construction project on the eastern side of Polokwane, inflation of property prices escalated with up to a staggering 386% and 597% respectively in transactions entered into with government, insider trading pertaining to confidential information applied for perceived benefit and adjudication of security tenders awarded to non-deserving companies operating from Gauteng and Mpumalanga respectively late last year. Attached proof to the effect indicates payment of more than R20 million a month in government monies for contracts apparently awarded to 13 of 17 security companies with business concerns elsewhere. According to information a follow-up announcement on more than ten service providers bidding for three-year contracts for rendering security services to government is expected any moment now. Further substantiating proof includes information containing a warning of alleged non-compliance in the case of several of the bidders. The source listed companies that were allocated tenders but were not paid-up members of the body regulating the security industry. In one such matter a company owner, seen to be connected to a party leader in the recent past, is allegedly contracted to the local and provincial governments as service provider in a cross-spectrum of capacities. Alarm was raised over the evident funding of opposition interests through tenders apparently awarded on a nepotism scale of 1:10. The negative impact on service delivery and halting of development in a vastly rural province remain reasons for concern. In certain quarters the change Premier Stan Mathabatha has effected since his arrival about a year ago is appreciated, but still ridding Limpopo of the so-called remaining rot would require a near miracle.

It is a difficult situation for small cars and those using public transport because they won’t last for long because of the road.

>> 4 760 indigent households already benefitting from the programme >> Over R29 million owed by indigents earmarked to be written off RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

An amount of R50 million was set aside for indigent support during the 2014/15 financial

year of the Polokwane Municipality while just over R29 million owed by indigents is earmarked to be written off. During a media briefing on Tuesday Executive Mayor Freddy Greaver said: “Council took a decision to write off debts for indigent households as at 30 June 2013. For debts accumulated after that households should then make payment arrangements. On top of the write-off, they will be getting relief on payment of basic services as part of the indigent support programme. The status is neither historical nor futuristic, but a reflection of your economic status at that particular moment.” The closing date for registration has been extended to 23 June to allow more households to register in order to benefit from this

programme. The date was also extended for purposes of budgeting, allowance for capturing and council approval in order for qualifying households to get relief effective from 1 July. A total of 4 760 households already appear on the indigent register and the city’s target is to reach no less than 10 000 households. The municipality will embark on an outreach programme to communities, schools, universities, colleges and tribal authorities in order to reach the target. Polokwane has increased the threshold for households to qualify for indigent status to R5 400. Qualifying households will receive six kilolitre free water, 100 kWh of free electricity, whilst they will be exempted 100% in terms of refuse and sewerage on a monthly basis. Prop-

erties of up to R100 000 are exempted from assessment rates. The municipality further grants 40% rebates to owners of residential property who depend on pensions or social grants. “Residents need to exercise the necessary care by saving water and electricity. Most indigent households compound their problem by building backrooms with an aim to augment their income, but end up having their consumption exceeding their allocated indigent threshold,” Greaver said. Application forms are available from the Polokwane Municipality’s rates hall in Landdros Maré Street, Seshego municipal offices in zones 1, 2 and 3 and Mankweng cluster office at Unit C.

Women’s League demands release of Nigerian girls YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com

y adding their voices to an African National Congress Women’s League (ANCWL) campaign, local women affili ated to the ruling party as well as religious and community formations called for action by the Nigerian government, the African Union and United Nations to secure the immediate release of a group of almost 300 kidnapped schoolgirls from that country last month. The women met in Polokwane on Friday for a noon Photo: Yolande Nel

A member of the audience studies a copy of the petition.

Bring Back Our Girls Campaign prayer session. The prevailing cold spell that characterised an impromptu meeting forced to take place outside Nirvana Community Hall on account of the facility still being locked upon arrival, seemed of less importance considering the perceived circumstances the schoolgirls have most likely been subjected to since the mass abduction. Later municipal employees arrived to grant them access to the hall and the party moved into sheltered conditions to continue with song and prayer. Women’s voices sounded out in defiance of an extremist group propa gating fear. In the petition, which formed part of a national one circulated by the ANCWL, the women further stressed the protection of civilians, and in particular women and children from any form of violence. They thirdly re quested the formation of an international del egation to conduct an impartial investigation into the kidnapping of the schoolgirls and the relationship between Boko Haram with other global formations. The fourth point raised in the petition was a demand for the prosecution and punishment of the culprits.

Manhunt for alleged child murderer and accomplice KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com The Limpopo Police have embarked on an intense manhunt following the killing of a fourth child younger than three in the province in less than seven days. The most recent murder happened on Monday evening in Extension 71, Seshego when a suspect and his friend visited the house of his 27-year-old girlfriend. “It is alleged that the man broke the window to gain access to the house where after an argument ensued between the suspect and his girlfriend. When the argument heated up the woman managed to escape and went to her aunt’s house to seek help leaving her son, aged two, and siblings aged 10 and 14 in the house,” Hangwani Mulaudzi of the Limpopo Police said. The suspects then allegedly proceeded to smash the two-year-old against a wall before slitting his throat with a broken bottle. The 14-year old uncle of the victim allegedly tried to intervene to save his nephew’s life but was also stabbed in the head with the same weapon. Mulaudzi said the two-year-old was rushed to the Polokwane Provincial Hospital on Monday evening and died on Tuesday afternoon. Both suspects are still at large and the Police are following all leads that could lead to their arrest. Limpopo Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola said the Police will not rest until the suspects are behind bars. “We are so saddened by this incident and we are pleading with parents to keep their children out of domestic squabbles,” Masemola said.

ttacks on and ill-treatment of foreigners across Limpopo are apparently on the increase again giving rise to fears that a repeat of earlier situations characterised by incidents of serious violence and loss of life

and property may occur. Hangwani Mulaudzi from the Limpopo Police agreed that the matter should be handled with great caution “As Police we have noted with serious concern the recent attacks on foreign nationals. We strongly condemn these and everyone should note that such acts of violence will not be tolerated,” he warned. Mulaudzi said a strategy has been put in place to ensure that everything in the Police’s power has been done to ensure that any form of violence in the province is nipped in the bud and to also ensure that law abiding citizens or those residing within Limpopo can live without the fear of being attacked. Mulaudzi added that the recent arrest of

25 suspects in Rebone (see story elsewhere in Polokwane Observer) accused of looting foreign shops and being involved in acts of public violence attests to the no nonsense approach the Limpopo Police is taking against criminals. “The world is now a global village and what happened in Rebone is being watched and read about by people across the world. It is the duty of the Police to provide security to people living here and to be protectors of these people, albeit foreigners or locals,” Mulaudzi said. He added that those promoting violence and attacks on foreign nationals should rethink their plans and join the progressive forces by fishing out and punishing those perpetrating the acts of violence.

Muni soon forced to provide documentation on Motor City

RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

he Public Protector is expected to subpoena Polokwane Municipality to force them to make available documentation needed for an investigation into the R45 million Motor City development. This was confirmed by an employee at the office of the Public Protector who wished to remain anonymous. One of the bidders for the Motor City development Glen Matsaung and another local businessman who objected to the project and wished to remain anonymous have been requesting access to information about the development for months yet the municipality has not made the records available.

Matsaung has since 1 February 2013 been requesting access to information regarding, among others, all tenders submitted; the evaluation and scoring criteria for the tender; all documentation of the bid and all minutes of the tender evaluation committee. The anonymous objector has without success since 15 April 2013 requested information about the minutes of a meeting held between PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd, the winner of the bid, and the municipality in July last year. He further also requested documentation on a matter affecting his own business premises and has received no reply to that either. Both applicants were upon applying for access advised of a waiting period of 30 days. Despite this waiting period having long expired, neither Matsaung nor the businessman

have received any of the required documentation. Matsaung had numerous encounters with municipal officials in order to get access to information. “I tried at least four times after which I turned to the Public Protector in January for help and to investigate the matter,” he said. It is alleged that the municipality also failed to provide the Public Protector with infor-

mation and Matsaung was informed that the Public Protector will soon follow the subpoena road to gain access to information. On Friday Matsaung opened a case of fraud against Municipal Manager Connie Mametja relating to Motor City. See story elsewhere. Municipal Spokesperson Malesela Maubane had not responded to enquiries at the time of our going to press.

Motor City: Municipal manager faces fraud charge From page 1 PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd for a special power of attorney a document was printed from the municipal server stating the date as 2 November 2012. “This document was later allegedly removed from the public domain and replaced by a second special power of attorney signed on 26 October 2012. “According to law no contracts or special power of attorney can be backdated. According to the extract in the minutes of the directors’ meeting of PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd held in Polokwane on 31 October 2012 it was resolved that the company applied for a special power of attorney to the Polokwane Municipality,” Matsaung said. On Tuesday Matsaung discovered more irregularities in the public domain saying that three withdrawal of objection documents from different companies were all signed by the same person with the description on each document exactly the same just on a different letterhead. The undersigned also had the same portfolio for the different companies. “The information block on each document which shows the municipality’s receipt of document was not present on one of the documents and some of the others differ in format. Municipal stamps on the letters also faded in such a way that it is impossible to read,” Matsaung said. Furthermore the signature of the undersigned person also differs.

Matsaung also questioned the validity of the company report on PEB Properties (PTY) Ltd. “According to the business information sheet by windeed which was furnished during the tender process, the reference number which was displayed on the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) company report is allegedly not legit. References on these reports are always numerical while the reference on the furnished document indicates the company name. The auditing company name was also absent from the report but in a report drawn by myself from the Registrar of Companies and Closed Corporations on Tuesday it suddenly indicates a local audit company,” Matsaung explained. Matsaung also turned to the Public Protector for help to obtain documentation from the municipal records who is on the edge to issuing a subpoena in order to demand documentation. See story elsewhere. Municipal Spokesperson Malesela Maubane said the process of the Motor City development is at such a stage that the municipality is still awaiting approval of general plans by the Surveyor General. On the fraud case against Mametja he said: “We are not aware of a case being opened against the Municipal Manager and further that until such time that the Investigating Officer contacts us we are unable to comment further at this stage.”

BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@ gmail.com Junaid Munshi, Managing Executive of Vodacom Limpopo Region took the opportunity on Friday to treat members of the media to a breakfast information session in Polokwane where he revealed VodaPhoto: Barry Viljoen com’s plans for Junaid Munshi, Managing ExLimpopo. ecutive of Vodacom Limpopo Vodacom’s Region, addresses members Chief Executive of the media at the breakfast Officer, Shabriefing. meel Joosub recently announced plans to increase investment in Vodacom’s network in South Africa from around R7 billion per year to approximately R9 billion in the current financial year. “This increase in investment of almost 30% will be focused on adding new base stations, getting more data coverage into the rural areas, spreading access to faster technology like LTE (commonly referred to as 4G), and expanding fibre-optic infrastructure,” Joosub is quoted to have said. Bringing this investment story closer to home, Munshi, explained that in the past year alone Vodacom spent large amounts improving network coverage in Limpopo. “Looking forward, we’ve set aside funds to upgrade the network and improve coverage in challenging areas. We’ve recently completed the upgrade of a number of base stations and are looking to expand our services especially data in Limpopo, with more to come during the year,” he said. Munshi further added that the rise in capital expenditure will cater for the major increase in both customers and network traffic that were announced at Vodacom’s annual results on 19 May. Some of the key statistics from this results announcement include an eight percent increase in Vodacom’s customer base in South Africa to 31,5 million and Vodacom’s prepaid average effective price per minute’s reduction of 24 percent to 55 cents. Vodacom’s prepaid voice traffic is up with 29% and the increase in voice traffic was supported by a major increase in network capacity including 1 081 new 3G base stations added during the year and 600 new 2G sites. Vodacom now has more than 10 000 base stations in South Africa, giving it by far the most extensive network of any provider that provides coverage to 99,9% of the population. Vodacom’s 3G (data) network covers 92% of the population and in the last year, Vodacom carried 44 billion voice minutes in SA and delivered 5,7 billion SMSs. Commenting on the future, Munshi said: “Vodacom already has the most extensive network, but this major boost to investment will put us even further ahead. For Limpopo this is going to mean wider coverage, more capacity and greater speeds. It’s going to be a busy year for our teams but the end result will be worth it.”

Traffic cops plan OBSERVER 9 strike after no promotion Mei 29, 2014

RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

rovincial traffic officers are preparing to embark on a strike on 6 June after the Department of Transport, Safety and Liaison (DTSL) failed to promote officials, some of whom have been in its employ for up to 17 years. An official who had joined a gathering at the provincial offices of the South African Policing Union (Sapu) on Friday spoke to Polokwane Observer on condition of remaining anonymous. He said that since being appointed in 1997 he and others have not been promoted. “We have relied on empty promises. About two years ago we were promised to move one salary level up but it never became a reality. Even after a resolution by the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC) of 2009 still no promotions were granted,” he said. Resolution 3 of 2009 of the PSCBC states the agreement on a revised salary structure for employees on salary levels one to 12 not covered by an occupation specific dispensation.

The resolution states: “With effect from 1 April 2010 (salary adjusted with effect from 1 July annually), an employee on salary level 4, 5, 6 or 7 who has completed 15 years of continuous service on a salary level, irrespective of the notch, and has obtained at least satisfactory rating in his/her performance assessments (the average assessment over the last two year period will determine the performance rating), shall grade (salary level) progress to salary level 5, 6, 7 or 8 respectively. This is not subject to availability to posts.” “Our appointment circular states we only need to work office hours from 07:30 to 16:30. We will no longer work shift hours,” another official said. Sapu Provincial Secretary, Solly Bulala said the union will take this matter to PSCBC again. “We feel sorry for newly appointed MEC Mapula Mokaba-Phokwana who inherited a lot of problems that need to be addressed. We expect of her to react quickly. She has no time to relax,” he said. Bulala added: “Sapu is ready to address the issue and if the department does not address the issue promptly they will have to face the

might of traffic officials.” In a second incident an official with 30 years experience filed a grievance against DTSL after a man with no qualifications relevant to an advertised job for Compliance and Regulations Manager was appointed while he, who is fully qualified for the position, was not considered. “The requirements for the positions were advertised and the applicant should be in possession of a NQF6 certificate, traffic experience and bachelor’s degree. I have an honours degree in business administration and 30 years experience but the other person was appointed,” he said. He said the man currently in the position was allegedly a former teacher and was apparently politically employed. “The position forms an important role in the controlling and monitoring of stations and especially licensing departments and the applicant should have intense knowledge of traffic to decrease corruption at stations,” he said. On Tuesday it was confirmed that station heads in the province will plan a meeting to address the issue. At the time of going to press DTSL Spokesperson Jimmy Machaka has not responded.

LTA awareness blitz about Kremetart Race Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA) in partnership with the organisers of PPC Kremetart Stage Cycle Race will conduct an intersection blitz near the LTA offices in Makhado tomorrow (Friday) to create awareness about the event which will take place from 6 to 8 June. The PPC Kremetart Stage Cycle Race is a one day race conducted in four stages over 175 km in the scenic Soutpansberg surrounds of Makhado.

Rated as one of the best road races in the country for the past 10 years it offers activities for persons of all ages and fitness levels making it an ideal family event. Race coordinator Renda Alexander is quoted in LTA media release to have said that the race has grown in leaps and bounds over the years and attracted both local and international cyclists from as far as France. “This year the race will be celebrating its 25th anniversary and has already attracted 700 preregistered cyclists for the main race,” the statement read.

WorldFlute needs input on issues of women’s identity WordFlute Press is currently collecting a range of essays of approximately 2500 to 3000 words each for a journal to be released later this year. The essays should interrogate issues of women’s identity in South Africa. In an attempt to formalise continuing discussions on the topic there is a need for a contemporary collection of essays to shape and create a resurgence of debates on some of the issues women face in various spaces be it social; professional; within the conventions of marriage; navigating divorce; singledom and other often contested spaces, both religious

and secular. Proposed topics to be addressed are identity and representation of women in media; the politics of home and marriage; singledom (culture, religion, economics and politics); the rise and fall of the abortion debate; intimacy in a time of gender war; the crisis of femininity; the taboos of contraception (whose decision?); contesting sexualities beyond right and wrong and, finally, women’s world of work. Interest in submissions can be logged to info@shafinaaz.co.za not later than Saturday, 31 May.

Polokwane Observer verras weer

Mei 29, 2014

Sesde keer onder top 3 koerante in die land P

olokwane Observer is verlede Vrydagaand vir die vyfde agtereenvolgende jaar as een van die drie beste korporatiewe plaaslike koerante in Suid-Afrika benoem, maar moes by die aanwysing van die wenner die knie voor ‘n relatiewe nuweling op die toneel, Mpumalanga News, buig. Die aankondiging van die topkoerante is tydens die hoogaangeskrewe jaarlikse MDDA/ Sanlam-toekenningsgeleentheid vir plaaslike media in Boksburg gedoen. Hierdie funksie bied aan alle gemeenskapskoerante in die land die geleentheid om hul standaard op gelyke voet te toets en hul status en aansien in die bedryf te bevestig. Onder die handvol gemeenskapkoerante in Limpopo, kon slegs Polokwane Observer (kategorie korporatiewe koerante met ‘n sirkulasie onder 10 000), Seipone (gevestigde klein onafhanklike kommersiële koerante) en Limpopo Mirror (gevestigde klein onafhanklike koerante ouer as vyf jaar) daarin slaag om in hul onderskeie kategorieë onder die topdrie in die land te eindig. In Limpopo ding Polokwane Observer as ‘n volfiliaal van Media24, die grootste mediagroep in Afrika en die suidelike halfrond, in die korporatiewe kategorie onder meer teen koeranttitels in die Caxton-stal, waaronder Review (Midweek en Weekend), Capricorn Voice en Letaba Herald mee. “Hoewel dit ‘n teleurstelling is dat ons nie vanjaar daarin kon slaag om vir die sesde agtereenvolgende jaar of vir die sewende keer in ons jong geskiedenis van tien jaar die topprys te wen nie, bly ons steeds dankbaar dat ‘n uiters bevoegde paneel van nege onafhanklike beoordelaars eenparig was in die aanwysing van die finaliste,” se Willie Esterhuysen, stigter en besturende direkteur van Polokwane Observer. “Daar is sonder twyfel geen plaaslike koerant in Suid-Afrika wat in ‘n tydperk van tien jaar meer pryse en benoemings as Polokwane Observer op nasionale, provinsiale en plaaslike vlak ontvang het nie. Dit is ‘n aanduiding van die bestuur en personeel se kundigheid en vaardighede, dryfkrag, deursettingsvermoë, energie, liefde vir hul werk en ‘n eenparige ingesteldheid tot voortdurende verbetering in dit waarin almal (joernaliste , advertensiepersoneel en grafiese kunstenaars) individueel spesialiseer. Van die aanbieding van kleuterskoolsport, kerkbasaars, skoolkonserte tot die ergste vorms van uitbuiting, korrupsie, misdaad en algemene harde nuus word beriggewing met sorg, toewyding en verantwoordelike entoesiasme gedoen sodat ons lesers die waarheid en volle waarheid, die storie en volledige storie met al sy intriges kan lees, ontleed en ‘n ingeligte opinie kan formuleer. “Ons strewe is nog altyd om ons lesers op ‘n gabalanseerde en waarheidsgetroue wyse oor sake van openbare belang in te lig, op te voed en te vermaak om mee te werk aan die opbou van ‘n opgevoede gemeenskap wat uit een mond kan saampraat en selfs slim besluite in hul gedrag rondom verbruikersbesteding neem. Ons adverteer die dienste en produkte van sakelui teen kompeterende tariewe, nooit teen afslagpryse wat die koerant se winsgewendheid en voortbestaan op ‘n mespunt plaas en in die algemeen van die bedryf ‘n bespotting maak en uiteindelik lamlê nie. Esterhuysen maak aanspraak daarop dat Polokwane Observer die koerant van voorkeur in sy verspreidingsgebied is. “Dit is eenvouding ‘n feit dat die meeste plaaslike skakelui (tussen 35 en 45% meer) verkies om weekliks in Polokwane Observer te adverteer – selfs al bied Polokwane Observer nie die onmededingende opsie van bondeltariewe (verskuiwing van advertensies tussen verskillende titels) en belaglike afslag wan-

neer adverteerders geadviseer word om dieselfde advertensies in verskillende titels – wat in elk geval een en dieselfde mark bereik –te plaas. “Dit is jammer dat daar steeds adverteerders is wat hulle aan hul neuse laat rondlei en nie bereid is om te luister, deeglik te besin en te beplan rondom hul bemarkinginvestering wat ‘n lastige, maar uiters noodsaaklike uitgawe is nie. “Miljoene rand word jaarliks in Polokwane op swak besluite in die verband gemors.” Polokwane Observer, sê Esterhuysen, is ‘n maatskappy wat poog om goeie winste te genereer en daardeur sy volhoubaarheid vir die toekoms te verseker. “Ek is besonder trots op my personeel. Ons is ‘n handjievol hardwerkende en talentvolle mense wat dieselfde passie vir die gedrukte medium deel en die belange van ons lesers onder alle omstandighede eerste stel en uiters professioneel dien. Die produksie-uitset van hierdie maatskappy is week na week fenomenaal – dit is verstommend hoe vinnig so baie inligting oor elke denkbare onderwerp, op elke denkbare vakgebied en vlak daagliks gegeneer, verwerk en akkuraat aangebied word – op papier of digitaal.”

Willie Esterhuysen, stigter en besturende direkteur van Polokwane Observer, met die Hulzertrofee as beste korporatiewe plaaslike koerant in Suid-Afrika wat reeds vyf keer in die koerant se bestaan van tien jaar verower is. Polokwane Observer was vanjaar weer een van die drie finaliste in die kategorie, maar moes na ‘n ononderbroke termyn van vier jaar as topwenner die knie voor ‘n nuweling van Mpumalanga buig – welgedaan aan Mpumalanga News.

Amidst reports of the recent brutal murders of four young children in Limpopo, Child Protection Week celebrated from 27 May to 2 June seems to be going by more or less unnoticed. In just over a week Polokwane Observer has reported on the brutal murders of three young children. The first, aged 20-months was choked and thrown down a pit toilet in Ritavi; the second, a three-month-old baby was axed to death by her mother in Vuwani while the third allegedly had her head bashed against a wall before her father, the alleged murderer, set alight a house in Bolobedu with the twoyear-old victim inside. In the last of these horror incidents yet another two-year-old was allegedly stabbed to death with a broken bottle by his mother’s boyfriend in Seshego’s Extension 71. Spokesperson for the Limpopo Police Hangwani Muluadzi said these crimes are being committed against the most innocent in our community who cannot fend for themselves or defend themselves and that is what makes these crimes so much more heinous. “The SAPS welcomes the observance of Child Protection Week even as the most recent cases of child murders provide a disturbing backdrop for this annual commemoration,” Mulaudzi commented.

Ntabiseng Mokwena Malotane and her mentor Martha Tladi with learners from Mponegele Primary School during their visit to create awareness for Child Protection Week.

A light in a dark situation came in the form of Childline Limpopo’s Young Ambassador who, being terribly disturbed by these acts, though it fit to visit Mponegele Primary School in Zone 1, Seshego on Tuesday to create awareness despite the apparent disregard for the protection of children’s rights and safety being showcased across Limpopo. Ntabiseng Mokwena Malotane and her mentor Martha Tladi visited the school and shared their thoughts and encouragement with the children on why their protection was important and how to protect themselves against those who wish to harm them or cause their rights to be infringed upon. Nthabiseng who was appointed as the ambassador for Childline Limpopo last year spoke to the learners and explained to them that although people might not always know what is going on with them at home or how they are being ill-treated, she assured the young children that God is the one who always sees and knows everything they are going through. “You are entitled to love and security, healthy food to eat, a decent place to live, adequate medical care, a good education and most of all, to be protected from any form of abuse, being it physical, verbal or mental,” she said. Mulaudzi says it is very important for individuals like the Young Ambassador to reach out to children and show communities how to care for their own. “The care, protection and well-being of children need to be everyone’s concern and responsibility and it needs to be made very clear that this disturbing trend of taking anger out on children which leads to their horrific deaths need to be stopped immediately. There could never be any justification for killing innocent and defenceless children.” He added that the Limpopo Police will be intensifying their current war against the perpetrators of crimes against children and will do everything in their power to ensure these horrific crimes and the criminals committing them are punished to the full extent of the law.

Helicopter landing creates confusion Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

private helicopter from Al 3 Boerdery in the Mogwadi area created a stir on Friday afternoon when it landed in the open area across the road from Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé. The strange sight had traffic officials, airport safety officials, journalists and emergency personnel dashing to the scene of what was thought to be an emergency landing. However, the helicopter was in perfect flying condition and landed in the veld in order to do the farm’s weekly banking, members of the Police and airport safety officials said.

Curious passersby and learners from the school took advantage of the rare occurrence to pose for photos while the helicopter was left unattended. The pilot of the helicopter and owner of Al 3 Boerdery, Karel van der Merwe said he regularly lands at the site when he has to do business in Polokwane. He added that permission was granted by the air traffic control personnel at Polokwane International Airport for the helicopter to land there on Friday and that he didn’t know what the fuss was all about. Numerous attempts to get comment from Polokwane International Airport and the Civil Aviation Authority had failed by the time of going to press.

In the same way he approached his responsibilities then we are confident that he will do justice in his new portfolio and take the Department of Health to greater heights,” Selala concluded.

Gladdemond en gedugte sportman >> ‘Die onvoorbereide items waar ek op my voete moet dink is vir my die lekkerste’ >> Ewe tuis op sportveld as voor ‘n gehoor RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

ir die 15-jarige Juan Krüger van Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé is redenaars en kultuur die lekkerste deel van sy skoolloopbaan en sy prestasies getuig van sy passie op dié gebied. Juan het tydens die Bosveld Kunsfees wat onlangse in Mokopane gehou is bewys van sy veelsydigheid gelewer toe hy aan ‘n volle tien items deelgeneem het en boonop 85% of meer vir elkeen ontvang het. Die gladdemond, wat ewe tuis in Afrikaans en Engels is, behaal ‘n A+ vir verhaalkuns, vyf A++-sertifikate vir improvisasie, formele en gedramatiseerde poësie (moedertaal), monoloog en onvoorbereide advertensie en vier A+++ vir formele poësie (Engels), gedramatiseerde en formele prosa en redenaars. ‘n A+ word toegeken vir ‘n prestasie tussen 85% en 89%, A++ tussen 90% en 94% en A+++ tussen 95% en 100%. “Ek het vir myself ‘n doel gestel om vanjaar ten minste een A+++-simbool meer as verlede jaar tydens dieselfde fees te kry en het weer aan tien items deelgeneem. Die onvoorbereide items is vir my die lekkerste omdat jy nie weet wat om te verwag nie en flink moet dink om die beoordelaars te beïndruk.” Die selfversekerde gladdemond het ook vanjaar aan die Kyknet Toneelspelkompetisie deelgeneem en na die Afrikaanse Taal- en Kultuurvereniging (ATKV)-redenaars-afdeling se semifinale rondte deurgedring. “Ek het vanjaar vir die eerste keer aan redenaars deelgeneem en geniet elke oomblik. Op laerskool was ek een keer deel van ‘n redenaarspan, maar ons het nie presteer nie.” Juan is ook ‘n gesoute kompeteerder op die sportveld en draf vir die o.15A-rugbyspan uit, speel hokkie en korrel sekuur op die boogskietbaan.

Task team ready for initiation schools

>> 275 Applications approved >> Zero tolerance to people who want to take chances Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

The Chairperson of the Provincial Task Team on Initiation Schools, Malesela Dikgale said all systems are geared for the 2014 Initiation School season set to start on 20 June and end on 18 July. Dikgale said the Task Team received 311 applications from persons who wished to conduct initiation schools across the province. Two hundred and seventy-five applications were approved and 36 declined. “We have since issued 275 permits to the respective traditional authorities,” Dikgale said during the Initiation Schools season media briefing at the Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs on Monday. Sekhukhune district leads the pack with 85 approved applications while Mopani has 60, Waterberg 59, Capricorn 43 and Vhembe 19. Confirming the task team’s satisfaction with the number of applications received Dikgale also said: “The figure is also an indication that there is a growing need from parents to have their children initiated.” He emphasised that a zero tolerance approach will be maintained towards persons who want to take chances by not following procedure. “We are not going to tolerate any of that. We will also not tolerate those who want to take chances by running initiation schools without permits,” he concluded.

The meeting was well attended and focussed on the Provincial Report of Performance as well as stakeholder relations and partnerships. At the presentation, Koenie Slabbert, Provincial Manager of Seda said that all small businesses that approach Seda for assistance has to undergo a comprehensive assessment before the business owner’s needs are addressed by Seda’s business advisors and it is only after the analysis of the assessment that Seda will recommend an intervention into the business. “It is important to note that we achieved 98% of client satisfaction from a target of 88

percent. For clients whose turnover has increased, we achieved 71 percent from a target of 35% and for those clients whose employees have increased, we achieved 38% from a target of 25%,” he said. Slabbert added that the number of clients working with Seda’s target is 1 224 and that Seda has reached 1 336 black owned businesses. Slabbert concluded by saying “Based on these achievements we believe with the assistance and cooperation from our stakeholders and partners we will be able to achieve and exceed our targets for this financial year. We are going to be focusing on three sectors as per our Board’s directive for the financial year, namely; Agri-business, Manufacturing and Services which entails Tourism and ICT. We will be discussing our new direction focusing on SDP (supplier development programme) and MSP (manufacturing support programme) and finally EDP (export development programme) with our partners and stakeholders to ensure that we create those clients who will be able to export their products into Africa and the world at large. Manufacturing is an area that SMMEs in Limpopo need to find themselves playing a significant role in as we have to be able to change our stats from a nation of consumers to a nation of manufacturers so that we can assist in creating the so much needed employment opportunities.” Seda’s mission is to develop, support and promote small enterprises throughout the country, ensuring their growth and sustainability in coordination and partnership with various role players, including global partners, who make international best practices available to local entrepreneurs.

Miss Limpopo Team workshop contestants Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za The Miss Limpopo Team held the first leg of their Miss Limpopo and Miss Limpopo Teen pageant workshop for entrants in this year’s pageant at Meropa Casino & Entertainment World on Saturday. Miss Limpopo Organiser, René Kidd indicated that the workshop was aimed at equipping the contestants with the necessary prerequisites such as modelling skills and public speaking skills and how to present themselves prior the big event. “We wanted to prepare them for the big occasion. Remember some of the girls have never entered the competition before and it will be the first time for them. Nerves will be taking the better of them, so we felt it will better if we teach them the necessities in advance,” Kidd said. “We also had a make-up artist on the day who taught the girls on how to use the right make-up for the occasion. Those are some of the important things that make up a complete model. So it is important for them to be aware of such,” Kidd said. Kidd also added they will be hosting the second leg of the workshop in July and more before the big event which will take place on 6 December. Among the Miss Limpopo contestants was Leboagang Masemola from Ga Masemola in the Sekhukhune area who said she learned a lot from the workshop. “The workshop was very informative. It was tough

to answer or respond to some of the questions during the pageant and how to walk on the ramp. I think that kind of information is valuable,” Masemola said.

Tiane Ströh, Miss Limpopo Teen and Kholofelo Lekganyane Miss Limpopo also attended the workshop.

Number of poached rhinos continues to soar WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

he number of rhinos poached in South Africa since the beginning of January has increased to 402, while the number of people arrested for rhino poaching-related offences has climbed to 115. Despite the beefing up of anti-poaching operations in the Kruger National Park (KNP) and the recent signing of a memorandum of understanding between the governments of South Africa and Mozambique to address the ongoing scourge of rhino poaching in SA,

the KNP continues to bear the brunt of rhino poaching in the country with 266 rhino killed for their horns so far this year. Another 41 rhino have been killed in KwaZulu-Natal, 39 in Limpopo, 26 in North West and 12 in Mpumalanga, according to the latest figures released by the Department of Environmental Affairs. The Department has renewed its call on non-profit organisations (NPOs), non-government organisations (NGOs) and individuals involved in fighting rhino poaching to submit information about their work to the department by 30 June. The call to organisations and individuals to provide details about their

Our Home a place to stay since 1956 BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Somewhere in the early fifties, the Capricorn Rotarians had a dream “To provide affordable accommodation to pensioners.” Over the years the original three blocks with ten rooms in Suid Street, each with a fitted kitchen and a communal lounge, grew to a big complex that now boasts a frail care unit which accommodates 37 patients, 40 single rooms with their own kitchens and 18 bachelor flats. There are also 13 self catering one-bedroom flats for pensioners. On the premises are 21 self owned homes for “younger” elderly people. The homes are sold back to the Home at 25% of the value when residents vacate the homes and the balance is for their own pockets. Sister Mary Cassidy, Matron of Our Home, confirmed that there is a long waiting list for

pensioners desiring to be admitted to the facility and that Our Home is not subsidised by the government, but sustained from donations from the public and businesses and Polokwane Rotary, who manages the project. Our Home has a staff of 37 and even a maintenance manager and five assistants to keep the premises in good repair. Medical practitioner Piet Vermeulen of Medpark visits Our Home every second week to provide pro bono medical services to the residents and Cassidy attends to the routine blood pressure and sugar level tests and the handout of medication. Our home is always in need of contributions from the public and plans to have a bazaar on 2 August for which used clothes, furniture and any other niceto-haves for the white elephant table are in dire need. Cassidy can be contacted on 015 295 5772.

initiatives follows a registration drive launched in September last year during which 156 NGOs and NPOs registered their projects. The initiative is one of numerous steps being taken to rid the sector of illegitimate and ill-intended operations in an effort to ensure that monies collected in the name of rhino poaching are utilised correctly. The continuous concern by government and members of the public about the increase in rhino poaching has resulted in more private individuals and organisations becoming involved in the fight against rhino poaching. Under the present system, NGOs and NPOs are required to register with government through the Department of Social

Kruinie-hoof verruil stad vir Secunda RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

hinus Enslin, die operasionele hoof van Curro Heuwelkruin se laerskool, was deel van die skool sedert sy deure in 2008 geopen het, maar sluit aan die begin van Augustus by Curro Secunda aan waar hy weer deel van die ontwikkeling van ‘n slinternuwe Curro-skool gaan wees. Enslin het bevordering as uitvoerende hoof van Curro Secunda aanvaar wat nog gebou moet word. Die skool sal ook uit ‘n kleuter-, laer- en hoërskool bestaan en hoop om in Januarie 2015 sy deure vir die eerste keer oop te swaai. “Ek het in 2008 as sportdirekteur by Kruinies aangesluit en sal nooit vergeet hoe ons oor slote en hope bakstene moes klim om by die klasse uit te kom nie. Op die eerste dag het 73

leerders gretig bymekaar gekom om deel van die skool te wees en vandag het ons byna 570 leerders,” sê Enslin wat sedert 2011 die pos as operasionele hoof beklee. Hy gee tans Wiskunde en het in die afgelope jare ook ekonomiese- en bestuurswetenskappe, ekonomie en sportkunde gegee. “Dit is hartseer om Heuwelkruin te verlaat. Ek was deel van die skool sedert die begin en het saam met die skool gegroei. Daar is baie bloed en sweet in hierdie grond om die skool te kry waar hy vandag is,” sê hy. Hy reken Curro-skole is so suksesvol omdat daar ‘n familieband gevorm word met kleiner klasse, ‘n breër curriculum en ‘n noue verhouding met leerders. “Curro-skole is ook anders in terme van tegnologiese ontwikkeling, kindervriendelike onderwys, positiewe dissipline, Christelike etos en verryking van curriculum.” Enslin is sedert 2003 in die onderwys

betrokke waar hy aanvanklik by Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos skoolgehou het nadat hy sy professionele loopbaan as Noordwes Drakekrieketspeler beëindig het. Sy vrou, Charlene, ‘n kliniese sielkundige in die polisie en sy twee kinders, Christian en Danae sal vir eers in Polokwane agterbly. Enslin sal vir die res van die jaar weekliks na Secunda ry en naweke huis toe kom as die werk dit toelaat waarna die gesin aan die einde van die jaar na hul nuwe tuiste sal verhuis. Oor die drome wat by Curro Heuwelkruin bereik is sê hy: “Ek en my personeel het ‘n standvastige skool tot stand gebring met ‘n goeie kleuterskool as voedingsbron. Ons het sport en kultuur op die tafel geplaas waar spanne en leerders jaarliks seëvier. Niemand het gedink die skool sal so vinnig tot een van die mees kompeterende skole in die provinsie ontwikkel nie.”

New MEC for Education immediately gets down to business WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com The new MEC for the Limpopo Education Department Thembi Nwendamutswu wasted little time to familiarise herself with her new position when she met with the senior managers of the various district circuits a day after she was sworn into office. Nwendamutswu was introduced to the senior managers in the school hall at Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) last Thursday and created an immediate good first impression among the managers due to her forceful and calm demeanour. The Provincial Treasurer of the ANC comes with a wealth of political and corporate experience having previously served as the head of the Independent Development Trust. Although she admitted to having a sleepless night wondering where to

start after excepting the mammoth task that lies ahead, Nwendamutswu stated that with the large amount of talented and expertise among the senior managers at her disposal she will be able to succeed in guiding the department forward in the future. “My main responsibility is to activate the resources and personnel in order to create a favourable environment for education in Limpopo,” she stressed. In welcoming Nwendamutswu into her new position last Thursday, PHS Principal Willie Schoeman thanked the MEC for taking the time to interact with the senior managers at the department so soon after taking up her new position. Schoeman also expressed a favourable opinion of her integrity and intentions, and wished her well in her mammoth task of being the political head of one of the most important departments in Limpopo.

Vice-Chancellor and UL Principal Mahlo Mokgalong on behalf of the institution congratulated the graduates for having achieved an important milestone of their careers. He said they should look forward to enriching their communities and alma mater. “I wish you all the best and hope to hear from people down the road that you are all catalysts for change in your communities. The knowledge you have gained over the years cannot be undervalued. Use it to find evocative solutions for Africa,” Mokgalong said. “Our graduates are the future. Our future is bright with the successive generations of wise and learned leadership that emerges from the University of Limpopo. As in the past, when we played a significant role in the struggle to liberate our country

from the repression of an evil ideology, we will continue to play our part in the struggle to unshackle our nation and our continent from the scourges of poverty, economic disenfranchisement, and combatable disease. Go forth, and conquer the world,” Mokgalong urged. On Friday the institution conferred PhD degrees to John Olushola Alabi (Agriculture), Jonathan Mafandaedza (Chemistry) James Curlewis (Zoology) and a DCom (Honoris Causa) to Temperance Mtoba. Alabi was born in Omu-Aran, Nigeria where he obtained a B.Tech degree in Agriculture and an M Tech degree in Animal Production degree in 1998 and 2006, respectively from the Federal University of Technology. He registered for a PhD at the UL in 2010

and completed his studies in 2013.

Temperance Mtoba CA(SA) receives Honorary Doctorate from UL HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

In the field of Chartered Accountancy Ntombifuthi Temperance Mtoba is a force to be reckoned with. The latest of her achievements is an honorary doctorate in Accountancy, bestowed on her by the University of Limpopo (UL) during its Winter Graduation ceremony over the weekend. In her acceptance speech Mtoba singled out inequality as a lasting factor in all phases of life and education continuing to vex the citizens of this generation and that might impact on the dreams of future generations of this country. “The quality of education offered remains stratified along these lines for learners who go to urban schools as against those that go to deep rural schools. Most children coming from these schools, through no fault of their own, find themselves taking the backseat when competing with their counterparts for limited spaces in universities,” she said. “It remains incumbent upon us all to come up with proactive solutions to address the disparities in education and come up with programs that promote equality of all learners,” Mtoba, who is also the Chairperson for the Council of the University of Pretoria, said. This accolade is a most suitable acknowledgement of Mtoba’s contribution to society and the Accounting profession. This multiawarded achiever holds a Higher Diploma in Banking Law from the former Rand Afrikaans University, BCompt and BA Econ honours degrees from the University of South Africa and BA Econ from the University of Botswana and Swaziland. In his congratulatory address UL Vice Chancellor and Principal, Mahlo Mokgalong said: “Mtoba’s honorary doctorate signifies

her dedication of ongoing learning and hard work towards the society and ability to make a meaningful contribution in a global economy. “She did use what she has learnt to transform the fraternity of accountancy and the living standard of the communities around her, while leading a good life.” Mtoba, the first African black woman to be appointed board member of Deloitte, later Deputy Chairperson and finally Chairperson in 2005, is currently a senior partner in the Executive Office of the firm. Before joining the Executive Office of Deloitte, she practised as an audit partner in the firm’s financial services division. She managed the audits of large corporate treasuries, local and international financial institutions including the Department of Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank. Her experience and knowledge covers a wide range of areas within financial institutions, including banking, development finance and treasury operations. Mtoba, a former President of the Association for the Advancement of Black Accountants (Abasa), was the visionary behind the Nkuhlu Subvention Fund that aims to encourage black CAs to pursue academic careers. She is a founder member of TEACH South Africa, a national programme that seeks to improve the quality of education and learner outcomes through effective teaching. She has served on numerous councils and boards and has made her mark on both national and international platforms. This includes the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest voluntary corporate citizenship initiative and, of late participating in the Australia B20 Human Capital Taskforce as well as the World Economic Forum Global Council on Anti-corruption (CACG).

Nthombifuthi Temperance Mtoba is bestowed the degree DCom (Honoris Causa) by Kholofelo Nhlane, UL acting Registrar and Mahlo Mokgalong, Vice Chancellor and Principal.

KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com The Seshego Police are on high alert following reports of planned service delivery protests that will possibly be taking place this week in Kwena Moloto in Zone 2 and in Zone 5 of Seshego. Tsietsi Lamola from the Limpopo Police says reports received have been warning of an imminent service delivery protest that will be taking place with the possible barricade of roads being included in the protests. “The Police are on stand-by and ready to handle any situation which may arise from these protests,” said Lamola. The protests are planned and could be taking place on Wednesday or today (Thursday). Various incidences of service delivery protests ending in the destruction of property and the disregard for law have been reported in recent months around Limpopo.

Ntsieni Khuphani appeared briefly before the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday after she was found by community members allegedly hacking her three-month-old baby to death. During the attack community members intervened and saved the deceased twin’s sibling before the suspect could supposedly turn the axe on the second baby. The case was postponed to 30 June pending the results of a mental observation. Hangwani Mulaudzi from the Limpopo Police says the 30-year-old mother was seen allegedly hacking one of her baby twins with an axe. Community members saw the act and notified the Police. “Frantic members of the community managed to save the second twin whom she also wanted to kill before containing her until the Police made their arrival,” said Mulaudzi. The badly injured baby was rushed to the local hospital but was declared dead on arrival. He adds that the motive for the killing is unknown.

Alleged killer hands himself over to the Police

A suspect wanted for murder and attempted murder will appear before the Bolobedu Magistrate’s Court soon after the 33-year old father handed himself over to the Police after being on the run for allegedly murdering his twoyear-old daughter on Sunday evening. It is alleged that the suspect went to his girlfriend’s house in Madibeng village, Bolobedu when an argument between the two ensued ending with him allegedly stabbing his girlfriend and her father several times before bashing his daughter against a wall and setting the house alight while she was still inside. The child suffered serious burn wounds and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the GaKgapane Hospital.

CRIME shorts Limpopo Police took in four infants after their mothers were amongst 25 suspects arrested on Thursday in Rebone following an outbreak of public violence and the looting of shops belonging to foreign nationals. The acts of violence occurred in Rebone in the Gilead area and saw 14 females, 10 males and the infants being apprehended after members of the community resorted to holding an illegal gathering to chase away foreign nationals whom they believe are the cause of the rising crime in the area. Hangwani Mulaudzi from the Limpopo Police said two shops belonging to Pakistani nationals were looted prompting the Police to respond and make the arrests. “Mothers seem to think that if they have young infants with them when they are committing crimes they will go unpunished. That is not the case and we will start making examples of such reckless criminals who willingly place their children’s lives at risk for the sake of evading apprehension,” Mulaudzi stressed. He added that the acts being committed are clearly opportunistic crimes by a minority of hooligans targeting a vulnerable minority in their community. The suspects will appear before the Gilead Periodical Court on today (Thursday).

Laerskool PietersburgNoord Primary>>

Mitchell House choirs win top awards Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Both the Mitchell House College and Intermediate Phase choirs gave outstanding performances at the Tzaneen

Music Eisteddfod that was held at Unicorn Preparatory School recently. The College choir won the diamond award with an excellent score of 95% and the Intermediate Phase choir won double gold with 92 percent.

The conductor Amrian Terblanche was justifiably happy with both awards and commented that both choirs will get even better as the year progresses and they practise together more often.

Tydens die amptelike inge-

bruikneming van die lokaal, waarin 51 werkstasies en ‘n interaktiewe elektroniese skryfbord geïnstalleer is, het skoolhoof Attie Visagie sy dank teenoor die skenker uitgespreek en gesê dat dit wonderlik is om te sien dat daar nog mense is wat die rol van skole in die gemeenskap waardeer en daad by die woord voeg deur skenkings te maak.

Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos se kore van hoogstaande gehalte KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com Beide die senior- en juniorkore van Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos het hul skool se naam die afgelope week hoog gehou met hul uitstekende prestasies in die Afrikaanse Taal- en Kultuurvereniging (ATKV) Applous Streeksfees en die Super 12-Koorfees. Beide die senior- en juniorkoor het onder leiding van Rita Erasmus en Ria Odendaal aan die streeksfees deelgeneem waartydens albei goue medaljes verwerf het. Die juniorkoor is die beste in die streek in die kategorie en die seniorkoor is die enigste koor in sy afdeling wat goud verower het. Oosskool het onder meer sake teen die kore

van Curro Heuwelkruin en Mitchell House uitgespook. Ses van die 12 kore wat deelgeneem het is van Polokwane. Met hierdie prestasie agter die rug was albei kore slaggereed om op Saterdag, 24 Mei aan die Super 12-Koorfees in Pretoria deel te neem. Tydens die prestige geleentheid het beide kore weer uitstekende resultate behaal. Die juniorkoor het goud verwerf met 87% en die seniorkoor het ‘n cum laude-toekenning met 93% behaal. “Elke deelnemende koor moes ‘n voorgeskrewe liedjie sing. In Ooskool se verslag van die beoordelaars is gesê dat ons die liedjie die beste van al 18 skole gesing het,” sê Rita Erasmus, die koorleier trots.

Bloedkliniek by Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos lok baie BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Wye publisiteit het verseker dat die bloedskenkkliniek wat Maandag en Dinsdag by Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos gehou is, ‘n sukses was alhoewel ouers en ondersteuners van klasse by dié skool nie daarin kon slaag om hulle vorige rekord van 320 eenhede te verbeter nie. Maandag is 144 eenhede geskenk, wat Dinsdag na 168 vermeerder het met ‘n totaal van

312 eenhede. Die klas wie se ouers en ondersteuners die meeste bloed geskenk het, sal ‘n prys wat onder andere deur Aïda geborg is, wen. Die dokumentasie word nog geverifieer en die wenners sal later aangekondig word. Dottie Pinn, skakelbeampte van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Bloeddiens, het ná die verrigtinge haar dank teenoor al die skenkers uitgespreek wat gehoor gegee het aan die oproep van “Skenk bloed en red ‘n lewe”.

Laerskool Pietersburg-Oos se seniorkoor het ‘n cum laude-toekenning tydens die naweek se Super 12-Koorfees behaal.

Sy sê dat sy bevoorreg is om met sulke wonderlike ywerige kinders, ‘n bekwame begeleier, uitstekende koorpersoneel en toegewyde ouers te werk en het almal hartlik bedank. 22/2014

Limpopo Business Symposium to host great speakers KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com

he first ever Limpopo Business Symposium to be held on 7 June boasts an impressive list of speakers. The guest list will feature the likes of Princess Tsakani Nkambule, Hannah Sadiki, Ludwick Marishane, DJ Sbu, Bokang Montjane and Mike Maphoto. Polokwane Observer featured Nkambule and Sadiki’s success stories last week highlighting the power of women in business. This week we focus on the male side of the symposium by profiling the likes of Mike Maphoto, DJ Sbu and Ludwick Marishane. Maphoto is a well-travelled lawyer, author, producer, director and businessperson. Born in Zimbabwe in 1982 to exiled South African parents, he completed his A Levels at Victoria High School in Rugby, England before attending the University of Cape Town (UCT) where he studied Law and Politics. After graduating from UCT he relocated to Polokwane to stay with his father, Umkhonto we Sizwe general Ike Maphoto. For him writing was something he learned at a young age because in every country he went to what was considered literature varied and the languages to be learned varied. His success with Diary of a Zulu Girl was quite accidental as he never actually considered himself an author. His blog, initially a joke on a friend, became a joke on him when it became

the number one blog in the country and today stands at 46 million page views. From an online platform the blog was converted into a novel and now into a TV series. The second blog, Confessions of a Sugarbaby was an off spin from the initial blog. The Department of Education then approached him to develop it further into a Grade 11 and 12 set book for Life Orientation. The content is raw but relevant, humorous but thought provoking while crossing many boundaries. Most importantly it tells the stories that parents or teachers could never tell their students before. He is also the author of Memoirs of Tired Black Man and Missteps of a Young Wife. Ludwick Marishane is the Founder and Chief of Headboy Industries and South Africa’s youngest patent-filer after having invented DryBath® at the age of 17. This impressive young man has received many accolades and was named as Best Student Entrepreneur in the world in 2011 at the Global Champion of Global Student Entrepreneurs Awards. That same year, Google named him as one of the 12 Brightest Young Minds in the world. Time Magazine named him one of the “Top 30 under 30 people that are changing the world”. He was also named the Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition Winner from the Lew Kuan Yew University in Singapore and is the only African to ever get to final stage of this competition. Other accolades include being named the 2013 City Press 100 World

Class South Africans, 2012 Mail & Guardian top 200 Young South Africans and he was also named as a finalist in the 2010 Cape Town Entrepreneurship Competition. With an endless list of honours and accolades one can simply make an informed decision Ludwick Marishane as to call this young man who hails from Limpopo, the trailblazer of his generation. Sbusiso Leope, popularly known as DJ Sbu, is a media personality, businessperson and philanthropist who thrives on giving back to the youth of South Africa. He currently hosts the Sound Revival show on Metro FM and appears on the most popular game show in the country, Friends Like These. He co-owns the record label TS Records and currently owns a number of businesses under the Blaque Gemini Group where he is the Co-founder and Executive Chairperson. He is the founder and Chairman of SLEF, the Sbusiso Leope Education Foundation which has given away 147 bursaries to pupils throughout 300 schools nationwide. He’s also recently been named by Forbes USA as one of 13 young African celebrities to watch in 2013. Alongside his many accolades, is his recent achievement of being named

KFC Polokwane and various role players on Saturday ensured less fortunate children from the Lethlantene Drop-In Centre in the Perskebult area outside Bloodriver enjoyed a fun day a follow-up to its Add Hope initiative. Lethlantene Drop-In Centre is KFC Polokwane’s official Add Hope beneficiary. Cheray van Blerk from KFC Polokwane says the day was held specifically so that KFC team members could interact with the beneficiaries and see the difference their dedication to the Add Hope initiative run in their stores makes in the lives of the less fortunate. “Following through with the spirit of Ubuntu was one of the main goals of the event. Putting other’s needs first and

serving the community has afforded the children the opportunity to just have fun and be involved in activities they might never have been exposed to. This instils hope in the hearts of the children by exposing them to people who genuinely care about them while also playing a role in the future development of these children by creating a positive and healthy environment where they can grow, learn and thrive,” Van Blerk said. The fun day included mini cricket, soccer, boeresport and a hearty meal to end off the activities of the day. Van Blerk thanked Thabo Semenya and his team from Limpopo Impala Cricket, Thato Moloto, Sportman’s Warehouse and Coca-Cola for their contributions and efforts in making the day such a huge success.

When it comes to defeating Bushveld challenges in style, the Peugeot 2008 is perfect to take you on an unforgettable adventure.

hen Peugeot launched its 2008 earlier this year it took the market in the crossover segment by storm with its diverse versatility, luxury, design and efficiency. The Peugeot 2008 is an urban crossover and invites you to live life to the max with its bold, robust yet elegant design. The design of the vehicle and its capabilities fit perfectly in with the rough terrain Limpopo has on offer. It is compact, spacious and flexible, the perfect vehicle to set out on adventures with friends. The sleek front bonnet provides protection and a touch of elegance while the dynamic and elegant roof panel defines the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profile. A wave in the roof panel leads the eye to a spacious rear and highlights an exclusive trim cut metal. When you get into the vehicle the first thing you notice is the small steering wheel which Peugeot Sales Manager JP Slement describes it as part of the sporty look that Peugeot has achieved with the 2008 range.

The 2008 combines crossover know-how and driving expertise, resulting in an innovative vehicle boasting unrivalled driving pleasure thanks to a driving position providing you with a fresh perspective of the road. The ergonomics of the driving compartment is very apparent with all of the controls located within reach and a heads-up display in the field of vision and touch screen system featuring intuitive technology. It can be used to control various functions such as the radio, Bluetooth handsfree kit, playing music files via two USB ports, the on-board computer and navigation which comes standard with the 2008 Allure. Under the hood a very eager 1,6 litre engine awaits to be tested. The new generation engine represents real progress in term of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while offering a good level of performance. For now there is only a 1,6 petrol engine available which offers 88 kW and a mixed fuel consumption of 5,9 litres per 100 km. Peugeot 2008 Allure hosts active and passive safety systems assuring driver confidence. It offers the best in active safety thanks to an Electronic Stability Control Program (ESP) system fitted as standard. It brings together Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Electronic Brake Assist (EBA), engine drag torque control and intelligent traction control systems. The Hill Assist system keeps the vehicle at a standstill for around two seconds to assist the driver when setting off on a gradient while six airbags increase the protection of those on board. Visit Peugeot Polokwane at 106 Landdros Mare Street or contact them on 015 287 9660 for a test drive and feel that great Peugeot feeling today.

Another successful Kontiki competition for Polokwane scouts KESHIA J V RENSBURG >> keshia.observer@gmail.com The 2014 Kontiki Competition once again saw the 1st Polokwane Scout Group representing Limpopo doing extremely well against 54 other teams competing in Johannesburg earlier this month. This year representatives from Gauteng, Mpumalanga, North West and Limpopo competed against each other in the annual competition which this year had a Go Green theme. Group Scout Leader Brian Jones explained that the teams set up campsite and then had to build a raft with rope poles and drums spanning an area of six by six meters. The raft is then manned by five to eight scouts who stay on the dam and take part in various raft competitions over the next 24 hours. While the sea crew takes part in these competitions the

land crew is just as busy with their own range of challenges and land based competitions. Jones explained that the judging criteria are very strict and much of the judging is related to safety to ensure that both the Scouts and the Guides have a safe adventure. The 1st Polokwane Scouts did very well during the competition and went home with a trunk full of awards. They won the trophy for theme, finished in 3rd place in the Beaver Challenge, 4th in the Meal Competition, 5th in both the Supporter Camp and Safety, 7th inTeam Spirit and 8th Overall for the competition. The 1st Polokwane Skouts were accompanied by Jones, Lea-Ann Cole, Jacques van den Berg and Rob Crosby. This raft ensured many accolades for the Scout team from Limpopo during this year’s Kontiki Raft competition.

Winter is the time to attend to your home B

rown leaves and grey grass, crispy air and shorter days remind us that winter is all but upon us and it is time to winterproof your home. Abel Mngadi, Head of New Business and Sales at First National Bank Housing Finance is quoted to have said recently that winter is the time to attend to your home as properties are vulnerable to attack from the winter elements and you will not only protect your home, you will save money too. “It’s advisable to do an assessment of the exterior of your house. This includes walls, windows, doors, floors and roofs. Have a proper look around and identify what needs to be repaired, sealed or insulated,” Mngadi said. Fill the gap Shoring up gaps that could allow chilly drafts and even heat seeking rodents in is easy. Simply replace the frame in question or use expanding foam filler products, silicone or putty. Gutters and drains also need to be attended to. These need to be cleaned of leaves and debris on a regular basis, especially in places with wet winter weather. Overflowing gutters and drains can drench walls and cause damage to your house. Don’t forget your plants. Covering outdoor shrubs with hessian or burlap should help protect them through frosty nights. If you have potted plants that have been sitting outside all summer, now is a good time to consider bringing them indoors as there is a good chance they could die from exposure. If you have a chimney and intend to use it, now is the time to make sure it’s in good working order. Cracked bricks, rodent- and bird-nests are all factors that can contribute to a blocked chimney and need to be attended to before you light your first fire. The heat is on As we all know electricity usage tends to soar in winter. According to Mngadi a number of measures can be put in place to lower your electricity bill. Insulating your home is one of them. Correct insulation prevents unnecessarily heat loss. Insulation isn’t just for winter though. If your home is insulated it will keep it

Learners of Jabez Christian Academy were surprised by the presence of a tall gentleman addressing them in a real South Californian drawl when Chalk Art Evangelist Paul Young paid a visit to the school recently. Young, affectionately known as Small Paul due to his length, travels the world to bring the gospel to schools, hospitals and even prisons. He lives in Cape Town with his wife and three children and immigrated to South Africa twelve years ago. Young aptly calls his crusade “Drawing Others to Christ” and has visited, among others, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, India, Germany and the Philippines. He most eloquently uses American English wherever he goes and told Polokwane Observer that “English was invented in Great Britian, improved in New England and perfected in South Carolina.” The drawings that he uses all over the world are obviously understandable in all languages.

Huisteater kry koers in Polokwane

RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@ gmail.com

‘n Huisteater is iets wat nie baie bekend onder Polokwane-inwoners is nie, maar Henk d’Kat is besig FOTO: RC MYBURGH om dié tendens Bekende sanger, Henk vinnig te laat d’Kat is besig om huisposvat in die stad teaters aan die stad se nadat hy Vrydainwoners bekend te stel. Saam met hom is plaasgaand ‘n vertonlike sanger, Antoinette ing by sy huis aangebied en gaste Coetzee. met liedere van groot name in die musiekbedryf bederf het. ‘n Gesellige atmosfeer word deur kaggelvure geskep en gaste bring hul eie piekniekmandjie met eet- en drinkgoed vir die aand. A night with the great Song Writers was Vrydagaand se tema en gaste het geluister hoe Henk d’Kat die musiek van onder andere Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd en Eric Clapton nuut interpreteer. “In Pretoria en Johannesburg is huisteaters ‘n algemene verskynsel. Dit skep die ideale geleentheid vir gaste om in klein groepe gesellig te kuier en na heerlike musiek te luister of vir werkfunksies en familiepartytjies,” sê D’Kat wat ‘n jaar in Polokwane woon en reeds 18 jaar in die musiekbedryf is. D’Kat is eintlik Henk Botes, broer van Mel Botes, ‘n bekende kunstenaar in eie reg. Henk het die naam as Henk d’Kat aangeneem toe hy sy suksesvolle Cat Stevens-huldeblyk gedoen het waarmee hy vir 16 jaar deur die land getoer het. Vrydagaand het plaaslike opkomende kunstenaar, Antoinette Coetzee die voorskou gedoen met die bekende lied, Power of Love en verskeie Abba-treffers.

Of all the visitors weekly received at Polokwane Observer’s offices, those from the animal kingdom still tend to spark most interest. Recently Skunky Monkey dropped by for a visit, with Crown Conservation and Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre owner René Olivier in tow. The eight-month-old permanent resident of the centre was rescued amid a raging storm and turned out to be tamer than expected, said Olivier. If in luck visitors to the centre might catch a glimpse of the elusive little one who roamed around freely, she indicated. Joining them was Girlie, a falcon who accompanies PHOTO: YOLANDE NEL

Olivier when requested to do educational drives for pre-schoolers and first graders. Another eyecatcher was a nosy hedgehog which proved less camera-shy than initially perceived. That morning the hedgehog was collected from a local vet for rehabilitative purposes. Olivier explained she was attempting to teach the hedgehog hunting tactics before setting it free in the spring, a season generally associated with food security. She estimated the animal to be two years old and said it hailed from what was considered an endangered species that only lived until the age of three to four years. The three visitors form part of 20 animal species currently taken care of at the centre, located approximately 20km from Polokwane along the Lebowakgomo road. The in-transit guests include birds of prey, antelopes and wild cats released again in nature when found to be fit enough to fend for themselves. Asked about exotic species that required assistance in the past, Olivier said she had to save a brown hyena caught in a trap and nurse two lion cubs that fell ill before. She receives newcomers daily, some with their own stories to tell; from those escaping traps to the ones that had become a burden to their owners. An increasingly unfolding trend though was the discovery of animals close to the perimeters of the city, she said. Donations are appreciated and for this purpose Olivier can be reached on 072 513 9149. Otherwise search for the Crown Conservation group on facebook.

Bolivia Lodge donates blood On Monday afternoon the staff of Bolivia Lodge took a break to donate blood at a donor clinic arranged by Sonja Randall, Marketing Manager. Donors from the city were also invited to join and staff of Polokwane Observer presented themselves to make their contribution. Dottie Pinn, Public Relations Officer of the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) earlier said that blood is always in short supply and every unit that is donated, makes a difference. “It is really encouraging that large employers like Bolivia Lodge promote blood donation by allowing us to have our clinics right at the workplace,” she said.

Comrades Marathon 2014

City’s runners in the grip of Comrades fever WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

The 89th edition of the gruelling Comrades Marathon gets underway from Pietermaritzburg to Durban on Sunday and hundreds of runners and support crew from Polokwane Athletics Club, Pietersburg Road Runners, Run/Walk for Life Polokwane, Eskom Athletics Club, Moletji Athletic Club and a number of smaller clubs will be making the trip to KwaZulu-Natal over the weekend for the big race. Runners from athletic clubs throughout Limpopo will be participating in the race as well as athletes from the province that belong to the professional athletic clubs in Gauteng.

The best known of these is Ludwick Mamabolo from Nedbank Running Club, who is hoping for a repeat of his down run victory in 2012. He finished what is considered to be the tougher up run from Durban to Pietermaritzburg last year in fourth position. Another runner to be on the look out for is Rufus Photo from Pietersburg Road Runners who is hoping to better his ninth position in 2013. For most of the other runners just finishing the race is the culmination of six months or more of hard training and the personal satisfaction of completing the world’s toughest ultra-marathon. Polokwane Observer wishes all Comrades runners good luck and may your legs carry you to the finish.

Voorspoed aan al die atlete. Mag julle harde werk beloon word.

Rufus Photo is reg om die Comrades te tem Pietersburg Road Runners se topatleet, Rufus Photo is gemotiveerd en goed voorberei vir vanjaar se Comrades ultramarathon nadat hy verlede jaar negende geëindig het. Dit is Photo se derde Comrades en hy mik vir ‘n wen of om minstens onder die eerste drie te wees. Dié 34-jarige atleet van Moletje het in April vanjaar aan die Forever Resorts Loskop Marathon oor 50 km deelgeneem en derde in ‘n tyd van 02:52 geëindig wat goeie voorbereiding vir die Comrades is. Hy wil die wanopvatting dat slegs atlete van groot klubs in Gauteng die Comrades kan wen, die nek inslaan. Photo skryf sy sukses aan harde oefening, die puik afrigting van sy “coach” Johan van der Merwe en die finansiële bydrae van sy borg, Volkswagen Polokwane toe. Hy is tans by ‘n motorwassery werksaam en het nog nie gedink hoe sy lewe kan verander as hy dalk die Comrades wen nie. Johan van der Merwe is die afgelope vyf jaar Photo se afrigter en koester hoë verwagtinge van hom. Van der Merwe het self

al 13 Comrades ultramarathons voltooi en mik vanjaar vir sy agtste silwermedalje (sub 07:30), maar gaan nie saam met Photo hardloop nie.

>> Greatest fear was facing the Indian Ocean

Mission accomplished for local Iron Man athlete

Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Completing the tough Iron Man South Africa Triathlon has always been something PEPPS College teacher Melanie Melville wanted to achieve and the dream became a reality in April when she completed the event in 12:30 and in 66th position overall among the women. Held in Port Elizabeth in 2014, the race consisted of a 3,8 km sea swim, 180 km of

According to Melville this is the most gruelling ultra event that she has ever participated in and her greatest fear was facing the Indian Ocean as it can be choppy and unpredictable. Fortunately, the day turned out to be lovely and sunny and the swim turned out to be better than Melville anticipated. It was the cycle leg that turned out to be the most demanding discipline. “The reason for this is because I had to spend close to seven hours in the saddle,” Melville explained. Encapsulating some of the best natural elements of Nelson Mandela Bay, the cycling route consisted of two 90 km loops taking the athletes along the coast, into the heart of the city, past a natural lake and through indigenous coastal fynbos nature reserves. Melville said she had little time to take in the wonderful scenery and was more focused on completing the tough route. “Running is something I have always excelled in, so I was relieved to finish the event with the run, although the 42,2 km route was quite tough coming after the swimming and cycling legs of the race,” Melville said.

We are gunning for gold medals in both categories.

impopo’s Ludwick Mamabolo, the 2012 Comrades Marathon winner used the Aïda Road Race on Saturday as a final warm-up for the Comrades from Pietermaritzburg to Durban on Sunday and expressed his satisfaction with his time and preparations for the race. Mamabolo managed a credible fourth place in last year’s race after his preparations were hampered by the doping probe into his first placing the previous year, before being found not guilty shortly before the start of the race in 2013. The BCom graduate, who is presently studying to become an accountant, says his training schedule is progressing much better than last year and he is confident of running a big race on Sunday. He expressed his satisfaction with his time in the 15 km race on Saturday, saying he aimed for 52 minutes and finished in 51 minutes and much to his surprise managed third position.

Setperke is Corné Olivier se speelplek Corné word onder die top tien o.19-gholfspelers geklassifiseer >> Behaal algehele tweede plek onder 168 leerders van 24 skole >> ‘Die laaste setperk was ongelooflik’ RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

ie persepsie bestaan reeds lank dat gholf eerder vir welaf ouer garde, wat baie geld op stokke en balle kan spandeer, beskore is, maar Corné Olivier van Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) het die teendeel bewys. Gholf is baie gewild onder jongmense, het ‘n groot aanhang en lewer talle spogspelers. Die 17-jarige leerder sluit vanjaar sy skoolloopbaan met een van die grootste oorwinnings wat ‘n leerder nog in skolegholf behaal het, af. Corné het aan die onlangse Woodlands Junior Masters Gholftoernooi saam met 168 leerders van 24 skole landwyd in drie rondtes kragte gemeet. PHS se eerste gholfspan waarvan Corné deel is, behaal ‘n algehele vierde plek terwyl Corné in die individuele kompetisie algeheel tweede eindig, slegs een hou agter die voorloper. “Die laaste setperk was ‘n onvergeetlike oomblik. Ek het nie woorde om dit te beskryf nie,” sê Corné oor sy opponent se laaste hou op die setperk wat aan hom ‘n

eerste plek besorg het. “’n Tweede plek is steeds ‘n groot prestasie vir Corné sowel as die eerste span se vierde plek omdat hulle opponente uit vurige gholfskole kom, maar PHS het nie vir ‘n oomblik teruggestaan nie,” sê afrigter, Jimmy Steele. Corné is reeds vir vier jaar deel van die skool se eerste gholfspan wat die afgelope drie jaar as algehele wenners uit die TuksSkole-reeks getree het. Op skolevlak word hy as een van die toptien o.19-spelers beskou en het onlangs die o.19-interprovinsiale gholftoernooi gewen. “Ek het die afgelope vyf jaar ernstig begin gholf speel, oefen ten minste drie maal per week en neem byna elke naweek aan die plaaslike klubkompetisies by die Polokwane Gholfklub deel,” sê hy. Sy pa, Llewellyn is self ‘n gesoute speler wat vir Corné kleintyd al ‘n gholfstok in die hand gestop het. “Die kompetisie tussen my en my pa is altyd lekker en ons hou mekaar op die tone,” skerts hy. Hy reken ‘n goeie gholfspeler knak nie onder druk nie en kan kophou as kompetisie straf raak. “Tegniek, net soos gereelde oefening, speel ook ‘n baie belangrike rol, maar die geheim lê steeds in jou styl wat gemaklik en eenvoudig moet wees en waarby jy moet hou. Ons strewe na die leuse, The more you play the luckier you get,” sê hy. Volgens hom lê die eerste gholfspan se sukses in die lede se goeie spangees en dat hulle al lank saamspeel en mekaar onderskraag. Hy sê die belangrikste deel van die spel is wanneer jou bal op die setperk land.

Corné Olivier, graad 12-leerder en lid van PHS se eerste gholfspan behaal ‘n algehele tweede plek tydens die onlangse Woodlands Junior Masters Gholftoernooi in Pretoria. “Dan moet jy begin kophou en die setperk baie goed lees voordat jy jou hou speel,” sê die koelkop wat selfs die grein van die gras bestudeer voordat hy na die putjie korrel. Benewens sy gholfprestasies is Corné ook ‘n uitblinker op die atletiekveld waar hy van graad 8 tot graad 11 jaarliks met die goue medalje in spiesgooi tydens die interhoër wegstap. Hy glo akademie kan nie afgeskeep word nie en skuif gereeld agter die boeke in. Hy is een van die 20 beste presteerders in graad 12 en het die eerste kwartaal onderskeidings in ses van sy vakke behaal. “Ek moet nog bietjie aan Engels werk want dit is al vak waarin ek nie ‘n onderskeiding het nie,” lag hy. As deel van die Goose Academy is Retief Goosen en Louis Oosthuizen sy rolmodelle. Goosen omdat hy hier grootgeword het en onder moeilike omstandighede ‘n sukses van sy gholfloopbaan gemaak het en Oosthuizen omdat hy ‘n natuurlike en aanskoulike styl het. Sy raad aan jong spelers is om altyd kalm te bly op die baan en nie kwaad te raak wanneer jy ‘n flaterhou speel nie. “Oefen gereeld sodat jy gemaklik en rustig in kompetisies kan speel.” Hy beplan om volgende jaar B.Com Rekeningkunde aan die Universiteit van Pretoria te studeer waar hy ook by die universiteit se gholfakademie sal aansluit. Hy hoop om later professioneel gholf te speel.
