Limpopo artists are hot under the proverbial collar over failure by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture and other government entities to participate in the first annual Limpopo Music Workshop aimed at empowering a small sector of society that claims general exclusion from provincial government programmes. Driven by disgruntlement over government officials seemingly giving more than 100 artists the cold shoulder during a recent initiative steered by the Limpopo Arts and Culture Youth Forum (Lacyf) contributes to a bigger picture encapsulating the battle for a sustainable livelihood by scores of struggling artists.

YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Capricorn, Mopani and Waterberg regions are boasting newly constituted leadership structures elected during assemblies on the weekend.

true and that the interdict will hopefully be served next week. Notice boards featuring an artist’s impression of the proposed development, the name and envisaged occupation date (2015) as well as the the names and contact numbers of two PEB directors have been put up at the intersections of De Wet Drive and Munnik Avenue as well as Veldspaat Street and Munnik Avenue. The decision to obtain an interdict stems from more than a year of continuous efforts by Matsaung to gain access to information relating to the Motor City development as well as issues with the notarial lease of the development. He has since February 2013 been requesting access to information from Polokwane Municipality 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. In January this year he turned to the national office of the Public Protector who referred him to the local offices in Polokwane. No progress has been made since then despite the local office previously confirming to subpoena the Polokwane Municipality to make information available, he said. Polokwane Observer reported on this matter in which an anonymous employee of the Public Protector’s office confirmed a subpoena to be issued.

Matsaung also opened a case of fraud in May against Municipal Manager Connie Mametja relating to the alleged furnishing of a fraudulent special power of attorney signed on 26 October 2012 whilst the application by PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd for this document was only signed five days later. The resolution for application for the township establishment was authorised by the directors of PEB Properties (Pty) Ltd on 31 October 2012. “During Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s recent public lecture at the University of Limpopo, I spoke to her personally on the slow progress made on the matter. One of her officials promised to make work of it and that they will keep me informed. Again nothing has come from this,” Matsaung said. Attorney Michiel de Bruin on behalf of PEB said in a statement: “We have been informed by Mr Casper Vorster, director of our client that you requested our client to comment on allegations made by certain individuals that they intend applying for an interdict to prevent our client from proceeding with the Motor City development. Our client has no knowledge of such intended action and has not received any notice in this regards. It will therefore be premature to comment at this stage. Should any notices or other legal documents be served on our client, our client shall issue a press statement after the full nature and extent of the documentation have been determined and considered.”

Anger over alleged neglect of artists From page 1 With local artists waiting with bated breath to learn whether they would be included in the line-up of performers of yet another Mapungubwe Arts Festival for which a tender has been issued, Lacyf further claimed nothing was forthcoming from last month’s artists’ indaba of the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture. The indaba was considered the result of earlier directives by Premier Stan Mathabatha, indicated Lacyf Chairperson Romeo Ramuada. At the same time he alluded to the provincial government’s overall failure to assist the forum financially to effectively run their programmes. Last year’s Mapungubwe Arts Festival was staged in March 2014 due to the mourning period for late President Nelson Mandela coinciding with the programme that usually gets held in December every year. A month after the Mapungubwe Arts Festival Lacyf vehemently raised their voices over the exclusion of local artists from the programme of the Peter Mokaba Tribute Concert in April this year. Ramuada was instrumental in leading a small group of artists, claiming to continuously biting the bullet when it comes to the promotion of names for events held in Limpopo, to the gates of old Peter Mokaba Stadium that served as venue for the show. At the time he highlighted the plight of struggling sons and daughters of the soil. With the tender for, among others, hiring of an events company for the organisation, marketing, management and execution of the Mapungubwe Arts Festival 2014/15 having been announced in a Provincial Government bulletin of 3 October 2014, local performers are yet again reportedly headstrong about their inclusion in the upcoming stage line-up. Ramuada expressed concern over the fact that the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture failed to send a representative to the workshop, presented in conjunction with the public broadcaster in Limpopo in mid-October. The workshop catered for, among others, musicians, deejays, promoters, production houses and producers.

He said the department ignored their request for the MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture to address the workshop. According to him the letter was sent to the MEC’s office a week in advance and as Lacyf did not receive any word of possible participation ahead of the event he personally went there on the morning of the workshop only to be told that neither the MEC nor the acting Head of Department (HOD) would be able to attend. He later referred to an email forwarded to three senior departmental officials by the Secretary for MEC’s Support on 13 October for one of them to attend the workshop on the directives of the MEC. The same email was sent on to seven more officials the next day, according to the copy provided to Polokwane Observer. Ramuada raised the opinion that of the estimated 100 departmental employees they did not even send one to interact with the artists who attended from across the province. Ramuada expressed equal disappointment with a representative of the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) showing up late and leaving again early without delivering a presentation on business development opportunities to attendants of the workshop, and the National Youth Development Agency (Nyda) not honouring the invitation despite an earlier undertaking to be there. However, representatives of the South African Music Rights Organisation (Samro) and the Association of Independent Record Companies (Airco) went to the trouble of driving from Gauteng and staying for the duration of the programme, Ramuada pointed out. He provided a copy of the draft report on the Limpopo Music Workshop compiled by Lacyf. In the introduction Lacyf noted the development of local musicians having been very slow if not stagnant during the past 20 years of democracy and freedom. “Though Limpopo has some of its home brewed musicians performing well on the national and very few on the international platform there is still a lot of work to be done in order to compete well in the creative industries both locally and internationally.” The workshop resolutions and recommendations included a remark that the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture should start taking serious artists and participate in programmes and events for artists to be able to understand their challenges and frustrations and build a solid relationship with them. The spokesperson for the MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, Kathu Sadiki commented that all invitations to the MEC were brought to his attention and that he had definitely not seen the invite by Lacyf. On the Mapungubwe Arts Festival he said a budget of R4 million was set aside for the hosting of the event that was being scheduled for the first week of December to run into the second week. He confirmed that the artists’ indaba was conducted on directives of the Premier. Sadiki explained that a committee was appointed by the artists to deal with a plan of action, which he had not seen thus far. Although asked for comment on failure by a Nyda representative to show up at the workshop, the communications section at the national office had not responded by the time of going to press.

Polokwane Observer

Summer here, town pool remains closed WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

or decades municipal swimming pools countrywide officially reopen on 1 September to herald the start of spring, but in the case of the Polokwane swimming pool it still remains closed two months into the summer swimming season. Many queries have been received by Polokwane Observer from residents in the city, schools and swimming clubs regarding the swimming pool’s failure to be reopened for summer. Normally any maintenance that needs to be carried out on the pool is done after the pool is closed at the beginning of April during the winter season. Now after the winter months when any maintenance was meant to take place, the swimming pool remains closed as the summer season commences. Numerous enquiries by Polokwane Observer to the Polokwane Municipality in regard to why the swimming pool remains closed have been unanswered, but reliable sources have alleged that firstly the pumps were faulty and currently the problem lies with major leaks in both the main swimming pool and the diving pool. The Limpopo Provincial Swimming Championship is scheduled to be held at the municipal swimming pool on 21 and 22 November and the organisers have been frantically trying, together with certain municipal officials to

get the pool ready on time. A meeting was scheduled for yesterday (Wednesday) with the organisers of the gala and municipal officials regarding the bidding process for quotes to repair the scum channels, which according to the swimming officials is the reason why the swimming pool remains closed. Democratic Alliance Councillor in the Polokwane Municipality, Roelof Lourens said he has raised the issue of the swimming pool with the relevant authorities at the municipality and conducted a site visit to the pool last week. When Lourens arrived at the pool he noticed it was still empty and the municipal employees that look after the facility were sitting around doing nothing. With the upcoming provincial swimming gala being an annual event, the organisers might have to shift the event to outside the province as the Polokwane swimming pool is the only venue with a suitable 50 metre pool to host the event. Meanwhile, Lourens has arranged for an urgent meeting with Ndavhe Ramakuela, Polokwane Municipality’s Director of Community Development Services in order to get further clarification on why the pool remains closed and what is being done to rectify the matter. Despite numerous attempts, both telephonically and by email, to get comment from the municipality, no answer was forthcoming at the time of going to print.

Luthuli Park land battle continues YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Concern about the ongoing land battle issue at Luthuli Park on the outskirts of Polokwane refuses to die down. Further information on an increasing number of individuals affected by land matters in sections of Luthuli Park was brought to Polokwane Observer’s attention following last week’s lead story. Asked for confirmation of the seven cases reportedly registered with the Public Protector as alluded to in a joint interview with concerned residents early last week, Sphelo Hamilton Samuel who is the Limpopo Provincial Representative of the Public Protector said they could find one file relevant to the enquiry. The name of the complainant is being withheld on her earlier request. “This complaint was received by us on 18 September 2014 and allocated to an investigator after assessment on 22 September 2014. We have directed an enquiry to the Municipal Manager and await her response to the allegations,” Samuel said. “We note, however, that a meeting was held by the Manager in the Mayor’s Office with the complainant and some of the implicated persons on 27 June 2014, but no resolution was reached then. It was decided that a follow-up meeting be held at a later stage with

all implicated parties present. It seems this could not materialise as they refuse to attend the meeting brokered by the Senior Manager in the Executive Mayor’s Office.“ He confirmed the details of implicated persons as stated in the initial enquiry by Polokwane Observer. “We can, unfortunately not name them at this stage as the investigation is ongoing and they have not been approached yet by our office.” Samuel stated that none of the names of complainants as supplied by Polokwane Observer appeared on their intake list that went back by two months. He invited all affected persons to lay individual complaints with his office. In the interim a community representative, with whom Polokwane Observer initially liaised on the prevailing situation, provided further details about incidents of alleged eviction from sites that have been allocated to individuals in the past. One such complainant said she was allocated a site by the then ward councillor Peter Monyela in 1998 or 1999, but months later was informed another ward councillor had chased her caretaker from her property. She was adamant the stand remained hers.

Billions to be spent on Limpopo roads October 30, 2014

polokwane

OBSERVER

RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

he South African National Road Agency Limited (Sanral) is set to commence on improvement and maintenance of 3 550 km of roads in Limpopo by February in an effort to stimulate economic growth in SubSahara Africa and local economic development More than R3,8 billion is intended to be spent in the province, including new projects. This was revealed by Sanral’s Northern Region Manager Ismael Essa during a media breakfast at Pietersburg Club last Friday. Essa gave an overview of the agency’s role and mandate as per government legislation and elaborated on the huge impact it was making in improving and upgrading South Africa’s road infrastructure network which rightfully constitute South Africa’s economic arteries. “South Africa has an extensive road network of about 750 000 km, the tenth Photo: RC Myburgh

Sanral Northern Region Manager, Ismael Essa addresses the media during an overview of the agency’s planned projects in the province.

longest network in the world. Sanral currently manages a national road network of about 21 403 km, 84% of which are non-tolled, and only 16% tolled, privatised and state-owned,” he said. He highlighted the extent of Sanral’s involvement in Limpopo as 1 628 km of road in the province was recently added to the agency’s network. “The management and maintenance of such a network cost the agency in the region of R775 million in the current fiscal year and the projected costs are not expected to be below half a billion Rand by 2018. This means that a lot of money still needs to be injected in Limpopo to improve and modernise its roads network,” Essa said, adding that Sanral will spend millions of Rand in the province to improve the N1 Ring Road around Polokwane, the Musina Ring Road as well as the Mokopane Northern Ring Road. Esaa reminded that the N1 is the link between South Africa and the rest of the continent and forms an essential link to stimulate economic growth. By February upgrading estimated to eventually cost R700 million will commence on the N1 Ring Road around Polokwane and include the upgrading of intersections with the R37 and R81, a dual carriageway from Ultra City to the R71 and rehabilitation of the existing carriage way. Work on the Musina Ring Road, including the construction of two new interchanges, three new overpass bridges and two new pedestrian bridges estimated to cost R450 million is envisaged to commence next July . A presentation by Essa revealed that Sanral plans to spend more than R1,4 billion in the 2015/16 financial year in Limpopo followed by more than R1,2 billion in 2016/17 and almost R800 million in 2017/18. This includes routine maintenance, periodic maintenance, improvements and new facilities.

New party president labelled ’murderer’ YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Soon after the recent announcement of the inception of the Lepelle Nkumpi Development Party (LNDP) in Lebowakgomo, acts of intimidation aimed at its interim leadership structure, and in particular its president, reared their head. A week after publication of an interview with LNDP interim president Phauwe Mphahlele and interim chairperson Meshake Petja in an earlier edition of Polokwane Observer announcing the formation of a party to tackle burning issues of alleged corruption perceived to be occurring within Lepelle Nkumpi Local Municipality, a text message directed at Mphahlele accused him of planning to get people to have a certain woman killed. Meanwhile one of the additional members on the interim party structure, Esther Mokoena’s house was reportedly the target of a contingent of Police officials who allegedly intimidated her children and caused damage to her property in her absence that same day. According to Mokoena they allegedly told her children, aged between 12 and 23 years, that their mother was always accompanied by Mphahlele and they were going to get

them. She believed the incident was politically motivated and said it was not the first time they were being harassed. Mphahlele indicated the party leadership assisted her to open a case with the Independent Police Investigative Directorate in Polokwane after the incident. Mphahlele shared the contents of the text message accusing him of planning the contract killing of a female municipal official whom he stood accused of raping in the past. Roughly translated from Sepedi the message reads “I know your evil plan of hiring people for my cousin (name withheld). Continue with your evil plans and we will meet.” He stressed the message was sent from the phone number saved on his cellphone directory under the name of an active ruling party supporter in the Lebowakgomo area on 24 October. The particulars coincided with the details on his phone. When questioned on the matter of rape against him, Mphahlele said the case was dropped on the day of his second court appearance in July last year. He indicated he did not see reason to inform the Police of the contents of the message. On the contrary if anything happened to the woman, all fingers would be pointing at him, he stressed. He continued saying they were not at all being intimidated by the action though. After the initial announcement of the establishment of the new party, they had been approached by the leadership of Mpumalanga Party who visited and motivated them. The launch date of LNDP is yet to be announced. When contacted for purposes of verification of the phone message, the identified sender told Polokwane Observer that his time was being wasted and threatened to meet the publication in court with his lawyer.

he 73 542 full-time and 19 673 parttime Grade 12 learners in Limpopo who started with their final examinations for their National Senior Certificate were all accommodated at the 1 706 examination centres in the province and everything proceeded smoothly with the English exam on Monday. They will be joined by 102 inmates from various correctional facilities in the country and learners from private schools that are sitting for their Independent Examinations Board (IEB) final exams. IEB Grade 12s wrote their first paper in Physical Science yesterday (Wednesday) and will be sitting for all their African language examinations tomorrow (Friday). The registration for Grade 12s wishing to write IEB exams in 2015 closes tomorrow (Friday). Department of Education Spokesperson, Paena Galane said no incidences were reported with the start of the examinations on Monday, including those areas affected by community service delivery protests. MEC for Education, Thembi Nwendamutswu called on all those learners who are writing their final exams to use the opportunity to open the gates to further education in order to become upstanding citizens of the country. The ANC Youth League (Ancyl) in Limpopo also sent a message of well-wishes to all the matric learners sitting for their final exams. In a media statement released on Monday Musa Chabane, Ancyl Coordinator said the National Senior Certificate exams are the ultimate test of academic life and serves as the harbinger of all the learners’ future educational pursuits. “For the next few weeks the spotlight will fall on these cohorts who were all born in a free South Africa. Our target as a province remains an 80% pass rate and we hope that all stakeholders in the Limpopo education fraternity have heeded this call,” Chabana was quoted saying. The Democratic Alliance (DA) added their well-wishes to those learners that are writing their final examinations and urged them to work hard in order to achieve success. DA Limpopo Provincial Leader, Jacques Smalle emphasised the importance of the matric exams and urged learners to aim higher in order to get entrance to university. He added that learners that are taking crucial subjects like Maths, Science, Accounting and Economics are carrying the hope of Limpopo in doing so, as they could be potential candidates to aid the Limpopo government and the private sector to address the skills shortage that the province has been facing for many years. Economic Freedom Fighters Provincial Spokesperson Michael Mathebe wished all Grade 12s the best of luck for their final exams. He added that the learners must strive to gain entrance to university and improve on the pass rate from last year. Despite calls to the education unions in the province to get their message for the matric class of 2014, nobody was available to give any comment.

>> Growing discontent relates to R42 million roads project Tebogo Mojapelo with regards to the appointment of a Project Steering Committee (PSC) and a Community Liaison Officer (CLO) remained unaddressed. The growing discontent related to a R42 million roads construction project, among others intended to link their settlement with neighbouring Extension 76 with a tarred stretch. Mojapelo stood accused of putting together a PSC from her circle of friends, who in return would have conducted interviews with candidates for the appointment of a CLO, it was learnt. Polokwane Observer was informed the CLO eventually appointed hails from an adjacent settlement and was not from their own ranks. On Tuesday morning scores of community members escorted the appointed CLO, who did not want to provide her name or give comment when approached on the scene, off the premises of the site office of the contractor located along the stretch of gravel of an estimated 2km that is due for an upgrade. At the time the fenced-in site was characterised by relative activity. Hyped-up community members told Polokwane Observer they wanted their own representative to liaise with the municipality and contractor while at the same time gathering in the hope of getting temporary work on

the project. They did not want the appointed candidate who came from Extension 40, one woman exclaimed. According to information Mojapelo is accused of allegedly ensuring positions on the PSC and as CLO for her friends and her brother. After consultation with the leadership of the African National Congress (ANC) in Peter Mokaba region and a meeting with the Speaker of Polokwane Municipality on Tuesday afternoon the Chairperson of the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) in Ward 8, Botha Mphahlele said a mass meeting was scheduled for late yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon to re-elect another PSC. At the time of going to press he alerted Polokwane Observer to more allegations being levelled against the ward councillor. Polokwane Municipality Communications and Marketing Manager Tidimalo Chuene commented that after Tuesday’s meeting the Speaker undertook to have allegations in terms of the conduct of the councillor investigated whereupon he would give feedback to the community next week. The matter of the appointment of a CLO would form part of the investigations, it was learnt. The community would also be assisted in putting in place a PSC whom they recognised, she said.

Deaths of sport idols mourned HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

cting Premier Rudolph Phala expressed grief over the death of Olympic gold medallist Mbulaeni Mulaudzi in a car accident last week and that of Orlando Pirates goalkeeper and Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa who died on Sunday, allegedly at the hands of robbers. “We were still expecting a lot from Meyiwa especially now that the African Cup of Nations qualifier matches are underway. We therefore take this opportunity to send condolences to his family, his teammates at Orlando Pirates and the rest of the country and believe that whoever is responsible for his death, will be arrested and justice will take its course,” Phala said. Referring to Limpopo born and bred Mbulaeni Phala said he had traded his skills as a South African athlete around the world, win-

ning race after race. “We are mourning with his family, the people of Limpopo and the rest of South Africa,” Phala said. African National Congress Provincial Spokesperson, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni also extended the heartfelt condolences of the party to the families and loved ones of Mulaudzi and Meyiwa. “The loss of two young lives both through tragic circumstances is heartbreaking. We are much poorer with the passing away of the heroes of the nation,” Ntshavheni said. Democratic Alliance Provincial Spokesperson, Solly Malatsi has also extended their condolences to the family, friends, fans of Mulaudzi stating that “The sudden passing of the two athletes has robbed our country of an excellent mentor whose contribution to nurturing young athletes would have helped revive South Africa’s prestige in sport. Richard Selepe, Chairperson of Limpopo Ministers Fraternal said soccer and athlet-

ics will not be the same without Meyiwa and Mulaudzi. “Meyiwa entertained us with his acrobatic saves and Mulaudzi flew the South African flag high. We pray that the families of the two athletes find strength in knowing that they will remain in our prayers allways,” Selepe said. Abel Rakoma, Provincial Chairperson of South African Football Association (Safa) described Senzo Meyiwa as someone who was committed and disciplined. “He was the ambassador for Safa’s Vision 2022 and a great servant of soccer in the country,” Rakoma said. He called Mulaudzi an icon of the nation and great athlete who put the province on the world map. National Spokesperson of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said they salute Mulaudzi as a hero of the soil whose life will continue to inspire many generations to come. On Meyiwa he said his passing has robbed the country of a team captain that is beginning to show strength and composure. “The EFF sends its condolences to his family, friends and all South Africans with the hope that those who have cut his life short will be brought to book. Provincial Secretary for Congress of the People, Eric Mohlapamaswi said they are saddened by the death of the two athletes who excelled in their sporting codes. “They were

across Limpopo after they were arrested during separate incidents last week. The cigarettes total a value of more than R1 million. In the first incident Eric Makwala and Cliff Ngwenya were arrested during a stop and search operation by Police near Maake. Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto stated that the two men allegedly twice robbed a tobacco representative the week before while the person was delivering tobacco to a supplier in Burgersdorp. “Information was followed up and the two men arrested with assistance of a security company. An unlicensed firearm was also found in their possession and the cigarettes value at more than R500 000,” she said. They appeared in the Naphuno Magistrate’s Court and face a charge of armed robbery. The case was postponed to 3 November for a bail application while the two remain in custody. “We also learnt from the investigation that Ngwenya was out on bail for a similar offence committed in Seshego earlier this year,” Otto said.

In a second incident members of the South African National Defence Force were patrolling the borderline with Zimbabwe near Musina when they stopped a suspicious looking vehicle to conduct a search. They discovered illegal cigarettes to the value of more than R200 000. “Leonard Moyo, Tongai Ndlovu and Ambassador Senda were arrested and already appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court,” Otto said. Their next appearance date could not be determined. In a third incident Jan Petrus Jacobs from Levubu already appeared in the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court and it expected to appear again today (Thursday) after he was allegedly found transporting illegal cigarettes to the value of more than R500 000 near the Groblersbrug border post. “Further investigation revealed that the vehicle Jacobs was using was allegedly stolen from Welgelegen in June. Jacobs remains in custody,” Otto said.

nother new private hospital that will, according to the developers, attempt to address the issue of rampant costs in the healthcare industry, is under construction on the northern outskirts of the city, about one kilometre from Mall of the North on the R81. Medical specialists and experts in the hospital design, construction and management industries enjoyed a glass of sparkling wine to witness the ground breaking of the new Polokwane North Healthcare Centre that took place last Thursday. According to a media release issued by the developers, Cure Day Clinics Group and Annenberg Property Group, the new Polokwane North Healthcare Centre will be home to a state-of-the-art 3 theatre, 21 bed day hospital, and will be the first day hospital in Limpopo for the Cure Day Clinics Group. Cure Day Clinics set the goal by providing quality, affordable, accessible healthcare to more South Africans by establishing a national footprint of day hospitals. Cure Day Clinics have six established and operational day hospitals in Gauteng, the Free State and in the Western Cape. Oscar Shimange, Chairperson of the Cure Day Clinics Group, is quoted to have said: “It is of paramount importance for Cure Day Clinics to have representation in Polokwane and this is a positive step towards the group’s vision to establish a national footprint of day hospitals in South Africa.” Shimange also said: “The Cure Day Clinics’, cost effective same day surgery, attempts to address the issue of

rampant costs in the healthcare industry. The convenience, efficiencies and optimization of time management for doctors, as well as an improved patient experience due to reduced admission and waiting times, will certainly make the day clinic a popular option with both doctors and patients”. Bert von Wielligh, Managing Director of Cure Day Clinics Group, acknowledged that this project started with the granting of a licence for a day hospital from the Limpopo Department of Health and thanked them for the role they provided toward the establishment of the day hospital that will be open in early 2016. The new Polokwane North Healthcare Centre will include general practitioner and specialist consulting rooms and will provide amongst others oncology, sub acute facility, physiotherapy, pathology, pharmacy, and renal dialysis facilities. “The launch of the day hospital and specialist medical centre is the culmination of the hard work and efforts of Annenberg Property Group and Cure Day Clinics who envisaged a medical centre that would provide excellence in terms of patient care, pleasant working environment for doctors and staff, state-of-the art technology and prestige,” Dudley Annenberg, Managing Director of the Annenberg Property Group is quoted to have said. “As with any major building development, a highly qualified team has been established to realise the project. We have secured the participation of well-known, competent medical services practitioners and providers that are able to offer a variety of much needed services to the public. As part of the group strategy and vision to be the medical property developer of choice, we are very excited and proud to be able to deliver a one stop medical services facility that offers safe, convenient and world-class medical facilities to the community of Polokwane, the Limpopo province and beyond,” Annenberg concluded.

conomic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema is expected to be facing the law yet again following an alleged incident at Peter Mokaba Stadium when a security guard was allegedly pointed at with a firearm and assaulted in the early hours of Sunday morning. This came while the country is still abuzz over security camera footage, recently splashed on social media networks, that shows an alleged altercation between Malema and another man in a fast food outlet in Tzaneen in August this year. Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto has confirmed that three charges of common assault, malicious damage to property and pointing of a firearm were laid at the Polokwane Police Station on Sunday. “We cannot confirm if the charges are laid against Malema alone or some of his bodyguards as well. During the early hours of Sunday at the stadium, Malema and his entourage allegedly wanted to leave the stadium through an entrance only gate,” Otto said. It is alleged that an argument between a Global Strike Security guard and Malema erupted after the guard refused to let them out and asked them to use the exit gate after they attended a music concert at the venue. A press statement received from Phoda Mapeka, Media relations Officer of Global Strike Security stated: “Our guards then approached Malema and asked him to use the exit gate but he argued with one of our guards and eventually climbed out his car and slapped while pushing him (the guard) against the gate. The guard then fell to the ground and while he was on the floor, three of Malema’s bodyguards also came out from one of the cars and pointed the guard with guns. They then pushed the entrance gate open and drove off. (sic)” The incident in Tzaneen took place on 6 August and the alleged victim, Cassie Moller obtained the video footage with the help of his attorney while civil rights organisation AfriForum assisted him in laying a charge of common assault at the Tzaneen Police Station. Otto said both cases are under investigation and statements still have to be obtained from several persons.

begroting te laat klop – TLU SA

rond in die staat se hande is ‘n ongesonde praktyk wat die land en landbou net skade berokken. Hierdie is die reaksie van Louis Meintjes, TLU SA se president, op die bekendmaking van die verwaarlosing op ’n plaas naby Nigel wat deur die plaaslike owerheid bestuur word. Skynbaar het talle varke en hoenders van dors gevrek terwyl plante in groentetonnels van droogte gevrek het. Plaas Mamahlola naby Tzaneen Daarbenewens het dit aan die lig gekom dat die plaas Mamahlola naby Tzaneen, wat 10 jaar gelede aan die Banareng Ba-Ga-Letsoalogemeenskap gegee is en sedertdien onder administrasie van die regering geplaas is, nie sy werkers kan betaal nie omdat dit wanbestuur word. “Dit is ‘n bekende feit dat grond wat in pri-

vate besit is, oor die algemeen beter bestuur word aangesien dit as deel van ‘n sakeonderneming beskou word wat winsgewend moet wees. “Waar die staat grond bestuur, moet ‘n amptenaar met geen wesenlike of persoonlike belang die bestuur behartig. Die wins of verlies is nie vir sy eie rekening nie met die gevolg dat dit hom nie werklik raak nie. “Waar die minister van finansies in sy tussentydse begroting aangekondig het dat sekere staatsbates gedeeltelik verkoop gaan word om die staat uit sy finansiële verknorsing te help, is dit juis nou wenslik om ook staatsgrond te verkoop sodat daar kommersieel geboer

kan word, in plaas daarvan dat dit verwaarloos word soos die Spaarwater- en Tzaneen-gevalle, waarin daar boonop R15 miljoen belastinggeld gepomp sonder ‘n enkele sent opbrengs,” sê Meintjies. Boonop is dit ook so dat heelwat grond wat as gevolg van die restitusieproses van eienaarskap verwissel het, steeds in naam van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika geregistreer is. Daardie grond se titelaktes behoort onverwyld aan die nuwe begunstigdes daarvan oorgedra te word sodat hulle die geleentheid kan kry

om voluit kommersieel daarop te produseer. Sonder eiendomsreg op daardie grond, sal die begunstigdes daarvan nooit ten volle suksesvol kan boer nie aangesien hulle nie toegang tot kapitaal het nie, sê Meintjes. “Terselfdertyd moet die ANC se sekretarisgeneraal, Gwede Mantashe, kennis neem van hierdie verwikkeling. Hier is nie ‘n persepsie van onvermoë nie, hier is die werklikheid van onvermoë, en in dié geval onvermoë van ‘n staatsinstelling wat deur die ANC beheer word.”

CDM cautions communities about water theft

>> A sharp escalation in theft of equipment >> Incidence high in rural areas BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com

Theft of water pump engines and electrical transformers has become a serious perpetual challenge which contributes to water shortages and further creates new delivery backlogs in Capricorn district. Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) requests all community members to be vigilant against this crime that influences the lives of man and animal. “The municipality spends millions a year in replacing pump engines and electrical transformers as a result of theft, but the judicial system treats this as petty crime. The district has, in the past few months, experienced a sharp escalation of theft and this seriously inhibits the social development

and economic growth of the district and we have to find ways to combat it. We don’t want to see communities losing their livelihood and businesses suffering as they can’t cope with water supply interruptions as a result of this,” says Media Liaison Officer of CDM, Moffat Senyatsi. Polokwane Observer attempted to verify the value of stolen and vandalised assets but the municipality could not provide the exact figures because some of the equipment is quite old and the records of the former authorities which were incorporated into the district were not available. Newly acquired assets are now recorded as such and are depreciated in accordance with the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) and related legislation and policies. According to Senyatsi the main headache is in rural settlements where communities are not watchful of this crime. This is not only costing ratepayers money, but it is causing devastation in communities. These criminals steal infrastructure and they dismantle water pump houses to have their hands on the engines; an asset

that leaves communities without water for weeks and months, as there are no local suppliers in the country and replacements can only be procured outside South Africa. Replacing these assets takes longer, and communities unfairly bear the brunt. “Stealing pump engines is stealing water from our people and this is a serious criminality; an act of sabotage that should not be tolerated, and no village is immune to it. The district municipality, as water services authority, spends millions in capital budget every year to roll out new water infrastructure to keep water flowing to villages for their quality of life to change. But these efforts are undermined by saboteurs and bandits who are hell-bent on thieving for their own selfish personal ends. The inherent culture in communities of turning a blind eye should be changed. We urge communities to come together on this and report it. Municipalities alone cannot win this battle. We need active involvement of communities to be vigilant and help us put a stop on this,” says Senyatsi.

Kganyago further explained CDM’s commitment to Batho Pele principles, saying that the municipality managed to bring about access to services by reducing backlogs in water services to just 11% of people who do not have water, while poverty relief programmes continue to benefit the indigent through free basic water and electricity supply. Kganyago concluded to say that despite underlying challenges in service delivery, the latest 2013/14 service delivery status quo report showed that the municipality is firing on all cylinders to meet peoples’ expectations and change their conditions of living for the better.

apricorn District Municipality (CDM) took services to the communities during a Batho Pele Day celebration hosted at GaChuene Moshate recently.

Ooggetuies op die toneel van ‘n ongeluk en passasiers in die voertuig het Sondagaand vertel hoe ‘n beweerde beskonke bestuurder teen ‘n hoë spoed in sy Volkswagen Polo in Dorpstraat vanaf die Peter Mokabastadion in die rigting van die stad gejaag het, die verkeerslig op die hoek van Dorp- en Suidstraat geminag het, teen ‘n padteken en sypaadjie in Suidstraat vasgejaag en bykans 100 meter verder in Dorpstraat se eenrigtingpadoppervlak tot stilstand gekom het. Die geskokte twee passasiers in die voertuig het gesê die bestuurder, glo ‘n amptenaar in diens van die departement van openbare werke, was smoordronk en het alle verkeersreëls verontagsaam. “As ons nie die sypaadjie en die padteken getref het nie, het ons beslis teen voertuie in Suidstraat vasgejaag.

Gebruik water spaarsaam in hitte BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Hoewel die vlakke van sommige reservoirs wat water aan inwoners van die stad voorsien stabiel is, het die 50- en 30-megaliter reservoirs se vlakke vandeesweek skerp gedaal en word ‘n beroep op verbruikers gedoen om nie water te verkwis nie. Verhoogde temperature wat kenmerkend van die tyd van die jaar is, het hoër waterverbruik tot gevolg en plaas druk op die stad se waterreserwes. Volgens die munisipaliteit se jongste verslag was die vlakke van die 50 megaliter en die nuwe 30 megaliter reservoirs Dinsdag 35% (50%) en 31% (54%) respektiewelik. Die reservoir in Potgieterlaan se vlak was 90% (90%) en dié van die hoofreservoir in Seshego 67% (61%). Die reservoir in uitbreiding 34 se vlak is 96% (95%).

Escapees rearrested

Fickson Motsepe and Lucky Mokone who allegedly escaped from the Marble Hall Police Station holding cells late last month during breakfast, were rearrested by Police in Hercules, Pretoria last Friday evening. According to Provincial Police Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi Police received a tip-off from the public which led to the re-arrest. “In a joint operation between local Police and those of Marble Hall the two were apprehended at a bridge where they sought refuge,” he said. Motsepe and Mokone escaped from detention after overpowering a Police officer that served prisoners their breakfast. They allegedly took the officer’s service pistol and, joined by a third person, made their way out of the Police station. A shootout erupted with the Police and the third escapee was fatally wounded. They now face charges of burglary, murder and escaping custody and appeared in the Groblersdal Magistrate’s Court on Monday where the case was postponed to 11 November.

Former cop sentenced to seven years behind bars

The Makhado Regional Court last week handed down a hefty sentence of seven years imprisonment to former Police officer, Tshifhiwa Lawrence Matsedu (28) from Musina after he was found guilty of corruption. Hawks Spokesperson Paul Ramaloko said Matsedu was dismissed after a disciplinary hearing a few months after corruption allegations were levelled against him. “In July 2011 Matsedu solicited a bribe of R1 000 from two Zimbabweans who visited the Musina Police Station to reclaim scrap metal seized from them by the Police. Matsedu threatened them with arrest as he claimed that their travel documents were fraudulent,” Ramaloko said. The two victims reported the incident to the Organised Crime Unit of the Hawks in Musina. A trap was set and Matsebu was arrested within minutes after receiving the bribe. Hawks Provincial Head Dibero Molatjana applauded the team for the secured conviction. “We want to fight crime with clean hands and people like Matsedu have no place in our ranks,” she said.

Hamermonster vandag weer in hof

David Mamvura, ook bekend as die vermeende hamermonster sal na verwagting vandag (Donderdag) weer in die Polokwane Landdroshof verskyn waar hy waarskynlik om borgtog sal aansoek doen. Mamvura wat na bewering vir langer as twee jaar inwoners van die stad geteister het en vermoedelik met nege sake van huisbraak en verkragting in die stad verbind kan word, is aan die einde van Augustus in die middestad in hegtenis geneem. Volgens die polisie word Mamvura daarvan verdink dat hy ongeveer twee jaar gelede ‘n egpaar in Eduanpark aangeval en die man glo met ‘n hamer aangerand het. Die vrou is vermoedelik verkrag. Hy het net met twee selfone gevlug. Twee maande later het hy glo in Du Plessisstraat ‘n 22-jarige vrou in haar tuinwoonstel verkrag en met ‘n televisie, skootrekenaar en selfoon gevlug.

Alleged ritual killer to appear today

Ernest Malatji, accused of allegedly murdering Kgomotso Ragolane in January is expected to appear in the Nkowankowa Magistrate’s Court today (Thursday). He faces charges of kidnapping, rape, murder and mutilation of the 19 year-old Ragolane’s body at Rhelela Village just outside Tzaneen. Her mutilated body was found by a passer-by. One of her arms was reportedly cut off and her abdomen was cut open. During Malatji’s court appearance in April a violent protest by the community which lasted for several days ended when Police allegedly shot and killed three residents. It is reported that three houses were set alight, a satellite Police station was destroyed and 15 Police officers were injured. Malatji was arrested in Bolobedu and was allegedly linked to Ragolane’s murder through DNA tests.

Kiesling-moord: Tiener in Januarie gevonnis

Die minderjarige wat van die moord op die egpaar, Will en Anjé Kiesling verdink word, word op 7 Januarie gevonnis nadat hy verlede Vrydag in die Mokopane Streekhof skuld op die aanklag beken het. Die 16-jarige se verhoor het op 12 September begin en hy het deurentyd volgehou dat hy onskuldig is. Na sy skulderkenning het landdros Gerhard Pretorius hom skuldig bevind en die vonnisoplegging tot Januarie uitgestel. Die Kieslings is in Maart op hul afgeleë plaas digby die Zanzibar-grenspos na Botswana vermoor. Die polisie het die beskuldigde kort daarna in Mosselbaai vasgetrek.

Die GPF het egter die hulp van vrywilligers nodig om die gebied bedags en snags te patrolleer. “Die GPF is ‘n organisasie waarby lede van die publiek wat omgee vir ander se welstand en veiligheid aansluit. Hulle is die oë en ore van die gemeenskap wat

in samewerking met die polisie en munisipaliteit ongewenste elemente en kriminele aktiwiteite buite die woonbuurtgrense hou,” sê voorsitter, Trevor van Niekerk. Advertensieborde met die GPF se kontaknommer is onlangs in die woonbuurte opgerig en inwoners word gevra om die nommer, 060 665 4321 op hul selfone te stoor. Kinders en huishulpe moet verkieslik ook die nommer byderhand hê. Hoe meer GPF-lede aansluit, hoe beter kan die woonbuurte gepatrolleer word om almal se veiligheid te verseker. Dieselfde nommer kan geskakel word om aan te sluit,” sê Van Niekerk.

Themba Marasha, new General Manager of Meropa Casino and Entertainment World.

Meropa’s new GM outlines his vision Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com After serving as a regulator in the South African gaming and leisure industry for many years, the new General Manager at Meropa Casino and Entertainment World, Themba Marasha is quickly adapting into his new role as implementing agent when he joined Sun International to run the operations at Meropa at the beginning of October. He evidently feels quite at home at Polokwane’s favourite gaming and entertainment venue as he effortlessly guided Polokwane Observer around the lesser-known corridors at Meropa. Previously Marasha served as the CEO of the Mpumalanga Gambling Board and held a senior managerial position at the National Gambling Board, both occupations that have helped him to cope with the immense challenge of running a large casino, conference centre and the other entertainment on offer at Meropa. He joined the Gambling Board in 1998 and also spent some time learning about the industry in Las Vegas in the USA. Marasha was born in Nelspruit and grew up in Mpumalanga. He is married and has three daughters, who are currently residing with their mother in Pretoria as Marasha looks for a suitable home for his family to relocate to Polokwane. He says he is extremely grateful for the warm welcome he has received from all the personnel at Meropa since taking up the position of General Manager at the beginning of October. He said he is familiar with

Limpopo as he has family living in the Vhembe district and was also part of the organising committee for the Gambling Regulations Africa Forum (GRAF) conference that was held in Limpopo earlier this year. “Graf was founded in Limpopo in 2003 and it was only fitting that the tenth anniversary of the organisation was held right here in Polokwane,” Marasha said. To Marasha it is important to analyse and understand the leisure and entertainment market in Limpopo and align the entertainment on offer to suit the cultural needs and lifestyle of the people in the province. “What works in Cape Town might not necessarily work here in Limpopo because the dynamics of the market and the culture of the people are different to that of the Western Cape,” Marasha explained. It is also important to Marasha that the activities on offer at Meropa give support to secondary industries aligned to the gaming and leisure sector in Limpopo in order to create more jobs and beef up the economy in the province. “It is vital for Meropa to forge meaningful partnerships with all stakeholders in the hospitality sector in order to move the economy of Limpopo forward and attract more visitors to the province,” he continued. Regarding Meropa’s corporate social initiatives, Marasha said Sun International remains committed to the needs of disadvantaged members of society. “We will continue with our work at Ngwenya House, raise funds for Cansa and support various corporate events towards charity throughout the province.”

Nuwe diskriminasieklagtekanaal vir jeug AfriForum Jeug het Maandag sy splinternuwe webwerf bekendgestel wat aan jongmense die geleentheid bied om klagtes in te dien oor diskriminasie, insidente van rassisme, die algehele skending van menseregte en taal. “AfriForum Jeug ontvang jaarliks talle klagtes van studente, lede én nielede, oor ŉ wye spektrum. Met die webwerf maak ons dit vir studente so maklik as moontlik om hulle probleme onder ons aandag te bring,” sê Eduan

Dupper, woordvoerder van AfriForum Jeug, gesê. Die webwerf bied ook aan mense die geleentheid om te sien waarmee AfriForum Jeug besig is en die nuwe gebeure-kalender bring webwerfbesoekers op hoogte van dit wat die AfriForum Jeug-studente beplan. Jongmense kan ook aansluit as hulle by die organisasie, sy veldtogte en aksies betrokke wil raak. Besoek die nuwe webwerf by www.afriforumjeug.co.za.

>> ‘There is no better way of finding strength and vision than at your Creator’s feet’ -Sindy Maponya RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com

“It is not about what you have, it is about how you use what you have.” This was the message Sindy Maponya, founder of Women of Excellence (WOE) had for her audience at the start of the 12th annual WOE Conference hosted at Polokwane International Airport over the weekend. “The vision of WOE is to challenge women from all walks of life to strive to excel using any resource at their disposal, in pursuit of their destinies. This year’s theme was equipping men and women for greater destinies,” Maponya said. WOE started in 2002, founded by Maponya as an inspiration from conferences she attended and addressed across America. “The aim is to inspire and provoke women to strive and attain excellence in every aspect of their lives, irrespective of their background and social circumstances,” Maponya said, adding that it so easy to come up with an excuse for every reason not to make a success. “When I visited America it was amazing to see that everyone is somebody. They have attitude. Even the domestic worker is proud of what she does and possesses an attitude of excellence and the will to be only the best,” Maponya elaborated. As pastor and medical doctor Maponya

lives by and hails the principle that striving is an ongoing process with you the only limitation thereof. “As Christian there is no better way of finding strength and vision than at your Creator’s feet. It is therefore important to seek and find God’s will with your life. The Bible addresses each and every issue of life whether it is money, love, children or crime. Our basis of motivating men and women lies in the Word of God,” she said. The WOE conferences, in addition to continued support and mentoring to those who saw such value and developed ambition, have produced women of substance today who are excelling and have achieved greatly in their areas of influence. “WOE is further aimed at addressing social injustices, creating awareness and challenging women to look closely to their health, challenging women to aim to aspire to great heights and helping women with information and training on various forms of leadership,” Maponya informed. This year’s conferences saw well-known persons such as Michael Mutemwa, a leadership consultant, doctor of divinity and Bible college lecturer, Monica Ndala, a pastor and psychiatrist and Joseph Nwokocha, a pastor and overseer of churches addressing the conference.

Biggest Loozer Contenders BIGGESTLOOZER 2014 this week we again focus on two of our contenders in body life’s biggest loozer

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

Juanita outram

louisa tleane

Juanita has lost 18 kg so far in the body life biggest loozer Competition. i have been blessed with a positive personality and i have thus far lost weight by staying positive and focussing on my long-term goal, which is a healthier, thinner lifestyle for both me and my family.

louisa has lost 19.1 kg so far in the body lifes biggest loozer Competition. she is such an inspiration to watch in the gym. she gives her best while training and is not afraid to try something new. this is what she had to say about where her motivation comes from: “the support from my husband and the competition itself encourages me to do well. My husband takes good care of our family and even cooks for me and the kids. ever since i started with the competition, he has encouraged me and motivated me. really what one gains from eating fatty and junk food, is nothing but fat, fat and lots of fat.

i have always been one of the larger family members and i hope that by losing weight i will set an example for many of my overweight family members and friends, because if i can do it, with hashimoto’s disease, then anyone can! i follow the Dukan Diet and exercise with an excellent personal trainer, elzet benadie, five days a week. i became addicted to spinning and exercise is my drug!

before

after

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

Phasha wins UL Annual Business Day competition Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za

nnovative thought and concern for public hygiene proved to be a winning recipe for Mahlatse Phasha, a second year BSc student in Molecular and Life Sciences who was announced as this year’s winner of the University of Limpopo’s (UL) Annual Business Day Competition during the Department of Business Management ‘s 3rd annual Business Day on Friday. Phasha along with the three other finalists, presented their business plans in retail and manufacturing to a panel of judges made up of representatives of the sponsors, Limpopo Economic Development Agency (Leda), the Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (Ledet), the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda), Masisizane Fund, Absa, Quality Training, the Wholesale and Retail Seta (W&R Seta) and Small Enterprise Finance Agency (Sefa). The competition was open to all students enrolled at UL and 52 entries were received after which a short-listing process reduced the entries to 12 and after final presentations to the four finalists. Phasha’s winning concept entails a sanitation product, Omni Comfort, a toilet seat disinfectant that comes in the form of a spray or a wipe that contains the disinfectant. He said he came up with the idea after he realised the challenges met by people using public restrooms where conditions are often not hygienic and the possibility of getting infected by germs are a very real possibility. Recalling the process of developing his winning idea he called to mind how support from his mother encouraged him to see it through. “When I came up with the idea no one

Nzimande pledges support for Engineering Faculty at Univen BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com Minister of Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande visited the University of Venda (Univen) recently and pledged his support for an Engineering Faculty at the university. According to a media release by the university, Nzimande addressed the university community, staff and students in the auditorium where he expressed his satisfaction with the progress both in terms of infrastructure and the academic core project. He was particularly elated to see the dramatic rise in research outputs and the general support of all stakeholders in cultivating a stable and conducive environment for the university business to prosper. Peter Mbati, Vice-chancellor and Principal, expressed excitement on the Minister’s commitment to support the introduction of an Engineering Department at the university. Mbati is quoted to have said that curriculum transformation and the introduction of high

end skills such as engineering in historically disadvantaged universities is a major strategic imperative in the transformation of these institutions. The programmes to be introduced from 2017 will include mining engineering, agricultural engineering, water engineering and construction technology. Mbati further added that the University is working towards introducing allied health programmes such as optometry, dentistry, pharmacy and laboratory technology. Graduates from these programmes would significantly contribute to the skills sets necessary for the socio economic development of the region and the country at large. Nzimande urged the university to work with various stakeholders including government to develop Thohoyandou as a university town, following the same models as the universities of Rhodes and Stellenbosch. Nzimande officially opened a number of infrastructure projects which included a female student residence, research conference centre,

office complex, school of health sciences nursing simulation laboratory, extension to the student cafeteria and extensions to the school of agriculture.

he Businesswomen ‘s Association of South Africa (Bwasa) in partnership with Old Mutual hosted a training workshop aimed at equipping female emerging entrepreneurs to understand the basic requirements and strategies to become a successful businesswoman. Bwasa Provincial Chairperson, Princess Tsakani Nkambule said they decided to stage the workshop after realising that most female entrepreneurs in the province don’t have enough information in business. “We wanted

to equip them with business knowledge. We wanted them to know about specific industries where they can access funds and exploit all the business opportunities provided by government and parastatals,” Nkambule said. Nthabiseng Makola, one of the emerging entrepreneurs who attended the event said the workshop was informative and it gave her a platform to share business ideas with fellow entrepreneurs. “I personally learned a lot. I was not aware that there so many opportunities for women out there and it is time for us to make great use of every available opportunity,” Makola said.

With over 60 stores already opened throughout South Africa, it was with lots of excitement that shoppers in Polokwane greeted the opening of Jam Clothing’s first store in Limpopo on Friday at 16 Rissik Street opposite the Limpopo Mall.

onda Polokwane introduced four new vehicles to the market last Friday during the launch of the new Ballade, Accord, Civic Tourer and Mobilio which promise to take the local vehicle industry by storm. The new Ballade is big enough to carry five people and perfect for everyday living. It exceeds expectations at every level; from its streamlined shape and spacious interior to exceptional safety standards, improved dynamics and even greater fuel efficiency. The front end of the Ballade has an all-new integrated styling approach and characterised by a sweeping dynamic appearance. The Ballade comes with a 1,5 i-VTEC, 16 valve petrol engine capable of delivering 88 kW at 6 600 rpm of power and 145 Nm of torque at 4 600 rpm. It reaches a maximum speed of 190 km/h while offering about 5,8 litre per 100 km fuel consumption. The new Accord has been designed using some of Honda’s most advanced technology. The improved chassis, automated safety features and refined suspension provide a smooth and powerful driving experience.

an affordable price. The Mobilio delivers 88 kW and 145 Nm. The Civic name has always stood for innovation, for learning from the past and continuing to move forward. Which is why, when Honda came to designing the all-new Tourer, they started from the ground up, assessing every part. Honda did extensive testing, in every driving condition and the result is a car packed with innovative technology, advanced safety features, dynamic driving characteristics, an unbelievably flexible interior and the largest boot space in its class. From lowering the frame to ensure easy loading, to adding convenient extras such as the adjustable cargo net and a onetouch tonneau cover, Honda made the interior as flexible and practical as life demands. What you get is a class leading 573 litres of boot space. Honda lowered the rear sill and ensured that the tailgate opens high, to take the strain out of loading the boot. Of course, reliability is just one factor. That’s why the 1.8 i-VTEC petrol engine was developed to give the driver performance and power in equal measure. Producing 104 kW, and a top speed of 210 km/h, it gives you more than enough drive to enjoy the ride.

Government levies a tax on property transactions that is paid when a property is bought and transferred into a buyer’s name. If purchasing vacant land, the transfer duty is based on the value of the land. However, transfer duty on an existing home will be based on the value of the land and building. Transfer duty will not be charged on homes under R600 000. Goslett noted that the transfer duty is payable to the conveyancers approximately one month before transfer, so buyers will need to have the money saved up before they start looking at homes. “If the property is purchased in the name of a Closed Corporation, company or a trust a standard transfer duty of 10% of the purchase price will be charged.

property be bought from a developer, a VAT portion will be paid rather than the transfer duty on the purchase price, Goslett said, adding that in the instance where the seller is VAT registered and the sale forms part of the seller’s enterprise, then no transfer duty is payable. “The purchase price of the property could either be recorded as VAT inclusive in the contract or VAT exclusive, depending on the contract terms,” he said. In the case where a buyer is planning to renovate or subdivide the property, they might be required to pay for a conveyancer’s certificate regarding certain title restrictions that may be relevant to that particular property. This certificate will generally cost in the region

of R2 500 plus VAT. The buyer may also be required to pay for the approved plans of the property. While the seller may have drawn up plans for the renovation and the offer to purchase may stipulate their inclusion, the seller is not legally bound to provide the buyers with the approved plans. “Although dependent on the agreement between the buyer and seller, if the buyer decides to move into the property before transfer occurs, they are also likely to be liable for paying occupational rent to the seller. The occupational rent amount must be predetermined based on fair-market value and stipulated in the offer to purchase,” Goslett advised. The seller Apart from the agent’s commission, the seller will be responsible for obtaining all clearance certificates for the property. These would include an Electrical Certificate of Compliance (Ecoc) which must not be older than two years and must cover all electrical installations during this time, water and plumbing certificates, gas certificate, electrical fence and beetle certificates if applicable. If no repairs are required, the cost of obtaining all the certificates will be in the region of approximately R2 500 depending on the service providers used. “Although it will largely depend on the agreement of sale between the buyer and seller, all other repairs around the house that need to be completed will be for the seller’s account,” Goslett said. The costs of such repairs will be solely reliant on what needs to be done as well as the contractors that the seller chooses to use. According to Goslett the seller will be required to pay a bond cancellation fee also in the region of R2 500, which is payable to the attorney and is applicable even if the bond is at a nil balance. It is important to note that the seller will need to provide their bondholder with three months written notice to cancel their bond. Failure to do so will result in the seller having to pay a bond penalty interest, which will equate to approximately a bond instalment for every month of notice not given.

More than 90 shop stewards from Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) and its affiliates were coached on various pieces of legislation, recent amendments and the decentralisation of Compensation Fund (CF) services by the Department of Labour during a workshop held in Polokwane last Thursday. A series of meetings between the department and Cosatu lead to a resolve that, in order to empower the structures in their everyday activities they be trained and educated around these processes and procedures. Departmental Spokesperson, Johannes Mokou said the decision to take action was preceded by a sequence of continuous misunderstandings and a somewhat vinegary relationship between organised labour unions and the department. “We fully agree that there is a greater need for organised labour to be thoroughly coached on many aspects of their work. Aspects such as enforcements procedures, variation processes, application processes on the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) and Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (Coida) as well as migration policies needed to be addressed,” Mokou said in a press release issued by the department on Monday. He also mentioned that by providing the information they will be helping in sorting out not so good relations they often have with one another and also help to minimise misunderstanding because sometimes where there is misunderstanding, unnecessary fights ensue. “We are of an extreme view that organised labour, and shop stewards in particular, are more at the coalface as they are able to interact more regularly with the employers and employees than we are; therefore empowering them with necessary skills and knowledge will enable them to influence the level of compliance at their workstations and also the employees to have thorough understanding of our processes and procedures,” the statement read. “Apart from all these, we also wanted to educate shop stewards on legal requirements in terms of our legislation and remind them of their roles in representing the rights of the employees. We want to proactively prevent incidents that may have negative effects on Health and the Safety of employees due to lack of knowledge or due to the ignorance by the employers, through ignorance of the law in never an excuse. We also want to emphasise that their focus should not only be on the wages, but should, to a larger degree be on the well-being of the employees because safety is primary,” the statement concluded.

Choprop wins seven OBSERVER 39 International Property Awards Oktober 30, 2014

polokwane

>> Global awards held in Dubai in December >> Will compete against best in the world

n addition to a major International Award for Highly Commended Lettings Agency for South Africa 2013-2014, Choprop has been informed that it is again amongst the winners of the esteemed International Property Awards in the 2014-2015 African Regional Contest presented in association with RollsRoyce Motor Cars. In addition to this, Choprop has been awarded Most Innovative Real Estate Agency for South Africa 2014 by Global Brands Magazine. The awards ceremony will be hosted at The Address Hotel in Dubai on 15 December. Michael Rego, Project Manager for Global Brands Magazine said: “The award reflects the countless hours of time and effort spent by Choprop employees in achieving the vision of your company and making your customers happy. On behalf of our team and the company as a whole, I wish you unlimited success in the future. Please accept our heartiest congratulations on this glorious achievement.” Choprop competed against a number of real estate agencies and property consultants in the region to receive this recognition in the following categories namely; Letting Agency, Property Consultancy, Property Consultancy Marketing, Real Estate Agency Marketing, and Real Estate Agent for South Africa. Successful entrants have been invited to attend a highprofile gala and presentation dinner in the Joharah Ballroom at the Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai on 4 December. The official announcements will be made there and the winning companies will learn which honours they have secured. The African Property Awards are part of the long established International Property

Awards. The award winners’ logo will be recognised as a symbol of excellence throughout the world. Attaining one of these coveted awards is indisputable evidence that Choprop is capable of outperforming some exceedingly strong contenders within the highly competitive African property arena. Yusuf Essa, Chief Executive Officer of Choprop Holdings SA (Pty) Ltd says: “We are indeed honoured and proud to be awarded amongst the best in the world. It is the second year that we have been nominated and subsequently awarded. This is a notable achievement as we have won many more categories and awards for South Africa that reflect our successful progress and excellent service levels in the industry. Also being nominated and awarded in my personal capacity as Real Estate Agent for South Africa, it is evident that Choprop is embarking toward a brighter future, which is a stepping-stone in making our mark on the planet.” Later this year, the highest scoring winners from the African Property Awards will compete against other winning companies from Europe, Asia Pacific, Canada, the USA, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Saudi Arabia and the UK to find the ultimate World’s Best in each category. The International Property Awards’ judging panel consists of over 70 highly respected experts from all over the world and is chaired by three active members of the House of Lords, lords Caithness, Best and Courtown. Stuart Shield, President of the International Property Awards says: “Once again the competition has been very keen and brought the very best of Africa’s property professionals to the fore. I look forward to seeing how the region fares against the rest of the world later this year.” Building upon the success of business events first added to the 2012 award ceremony, the International Property Awards will also host a Property Awards Summit on 3 and 4 December at the same venue.

Inwoners van Vergeet My Nie Behuisingsentrum, wat deel van die Martha Hofmeyr Tehuis vir Bejaardes is, het Saterdag in samewerking met verskeie kerke van die stad basaar gehou. Tafels het onder heerlike vars en tuisgebakte produkte gekreun. Die groentetafel het oudergewoonte groot aftrek gekry omdat groente spotgoedkoop van die hand gesit is. Kleinkoekies, pannekoek, terte, vetkoek, poeding en selfs handgemaakte artikels en vars gemmerbier was ook gunstelinge. Die geld wat ingesamel is, is ten bate van die behuisingsentrum.

Polokwane Observer asked residents for their reponse following the untimely deaths of former Olympic gold medallist, Mbulaeni Mulaudzi and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper and Captain Senzo Meyiwa over the weekend. Polokwane Observer het inwoners gevra vir hul reaksie na die skielike dood van voormalige Olimpiesemedalje-wenner Mbulaeni Mulaudzi en Bafana Bafana-doelwagter en -kaptein, Senzo Meyiwa die afgelope naweek.

She explained that those who have left are now at peace and without pain. “We should just keep the hope that everything will be fine. “We can not be selfish to insist that our beloved ones keep on living with pain and suffering just to be there for us. There is a point where we should let go on keep on living with the good memories of times that are no longer,” Kgomo said.

Successful weekend of communication for local scout group NEWS

he 1st Polokwane Scout Group spent an eventful weekend camping on the smallholding of Willem Badenhorst in Ivydale when they participated in Jamboree on the Air (Jota), an international scouting amateur radio event. During the Jota event, the scouts used their own high frequency (HF) radios and some of Badenhorst’s radios to contact other scout radio stations around the world. Two of the 1st Polokwane Scout Group adult leaders are licensed radio amateurs as well as five of the scouts and their call sign was ZR6PS. Scout Group leader, Brian Jones said that the scouts managed for the first time to get full two way communication using the Earth Moon Earth (EME) method on the two metre radio-band between scout radio stations. EME is transmitted at the correct angle to bounce off the moon and back to earth to another radio station that takes the call. Specialist antennas are needed with high power to make EME possible especially on the two metre band which is normally used for short range mobile communication. Three scout Jota EME stations were contacted in Holland who was using the 25 m Dwingeloo dish, Rover Scouts in the Czech Re-

public and Scouts near Oxford in England. The 1st Polokwane Scout Group made 84 other two metre band EME contacts with radio amateurs and 187 contacts on HF, including one with an Antarctic radio station, VK0JJJ for a very successful weekend’s communication. According to Jones activities were disrupted for a few hours on Saturday afternoon when a powerful whirlwind ripped through the camp. One Scout was slightly injured with rope burns from a guy rope. Although tables were capsized none of the radio equipment was damaged, so the tents were re-erected and communications continued.

Louise Jansen, borskankeroorlewende, het Saterdag ‘n geslaagde bederfdag vir mense wat borskanker oorleef het gehou. Gaste het vroegoggend by Complete School of Hair, Beauty and MakeUp aangemeld vir hare en grimering, waarna hulle na Bolivia Lodge is om geskenkpakkies en hemde te ontvang terwyl hul verversings geniet het. Tydens die middagete het Erika en Gerrit Nel die gaste met Christe-

like liedjies vermaak, waarna groepfoto’s geneem is. Elkeen het ‘n gebed geskryf, aan balonne vasgemaak en in die lug laat opgaan. “Die saamkuier was ‘n hoogtepunt. Ek het net weer besef ons is almal maar net mense; verskillend maar in baie opsigte dieselfde. Al kan ek nie die seer wegvat wat mense al beleef het nie, kan ek iemand sielsgelukkig maak, al is dit net vir ‘n rukkie,” sê Jansen. Sy het haar dank uitgespreek teenoor Bolivia Lodge, Complete School of Hair, Beauty and Make-Up,

Oosthuizen & Steyn Prokureurs, Erika Nel Fotografie, JR Bridge Consulting, Vikna Consulting Engineers, House of Asanté, Thelanè Health Beauty Centre, Greener Tidings, Bakers World, Love 4 Toys Thornhill, Pick n Pay Cycad, Itsabeadza, Mini Printers, Japie Wentzel Boerdery, Foster Industries en Ofi-Flora Garden Services vir hul ruim borgskappe. “Die dag sou nie kon plaasvind sonder die hulp van Bobby Were, Tania en Riaan Meiring, Ina en Douglas Bushby, Lorette en Deon Burger, Karen Coetzee en my man, Phil Jansen nie,” het Jansen gesê.

WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com Pietersburg Road Runners ultra-marathon athlete, Johan van der Merwe added another record to his already impressive list of achievements when he bettered the previous best time at the Coaldust Dreams Circuit Challenge and LoobiT 100 mile (160,9 km) race by an incredible three hours and 14 minutes last weekend. The LoobiT 100 mile race is classed as the

toughest 100 miler in the country and was held for the tenth year at the Highveld Mall in Witbank. The Coaldust Dreams Circuit is made up of a one kilometre lap consisting of 20 bends to test the athletes to their limits. In addition to the 100 mile race, there is also a 50 km night race and the aim of the race is to raise funds for children with extraordinary needs. Van der Merwe, a multiple South African ultra-marathon record holder won the 100 mile race in 15:56 to leave both his rivals and the many spectators who lined the route in awe of his incredible performance. He is currently the holder of the following South African records: • 24 hour track – 258,063 km on 6 December 2013 in Taipei to better Wally Hayward’s 60 year record • 24 hour road – 231,312 km during 6-day race in Hungary in May 2013 • 48 hour road – 333,018 km during 6-day race (day two) in Hungary • 200 km track – 17:34:20 split time during 24 hour race in Taipei in December 2013 In addition, Van der Merwe has won every 100 mile race he has entered and is the record holder for the Washie 100 mile, Capital Classic 100 mile and now the Coaldust Dreams LoobiT 100 mile race.

Great support for Mayor’s golf day Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com A large field of 156 golfers participated in the annual Mayor’s Golf Day on Friday with two tee-off times having to be scheduled to cater for the huge number of women and men golfers that supported the day at the Polokwane Golf Club. The event was held for the first time in 1992 and funds raised will go towards various charities the executive mayor is involved in. Great prizes were on offer in various categories with the format being Individual Stableford and the men’s field comprising of three divisions depending on a golfer’s handicap. In the A-division for golfers with a handicap of zero to nine, Adam Milanzi won first prize after winning on a count-out against an unlucky Zipho Ngobeni, after both golfers had finished on 40 points. In the B-division for golfers with a handicap between 10 and 15, David Mogafe was triumphant with 44 points. Four golfers were level on 43 points, with Richard Leseme eventually ending in second position after a count-out followed by Mike Lekgothoane, Mpho Makodu and Keith Bronkhorst. Kenny Mboyana with 46 points won the C-division for golfers with handicaps between

16 and 24, the Polokwane Chamber of Business President, Simphiwe Mdlalose was second with 42 points and Phillip Makume ended in the third position with 40 points.

Baker brothers cry victory at rally RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com Eighteen years of dedication, hard work, the right mindset and relationship finally paid off for local rally driver, Jaco Baker and his navigator and older brother, George when they were crowned regional champions at the recent Northern Region Special Stage Rally Championships last week. Few of the spectators at the exciting event held in Polokwane last week knew of the Baker brothers’ endeavour for victory since they were first introduced to the sport in 1996. “I entered my first rally in a Datsun P510 in 1971 with co-driver Jurg Steyn. Needless to say we did not finish because of a tree that ran across the road. In the two years of racing with the Datsun my best performance was 11th overall position,” Jaco recalled. The brothers both matriculated at Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé and Jaco’s first unofficial race was during his matric year.

Jaco and his father Paulie are familiar faces on the racing track. “In 1987 we were crowned junior and senior champs in go-kart racing. Our love for motor sport comes from my father. In 1983 he bought me and George a Toyota Conquest for rally purposes but a year later I decided that the car was too slow and bought a newer model 16 valve Toyota Conquest,” Jaco said. Their next car was a 16 valve Toyota Tazz that was later upgraded to a 20 valve and in which they are currently leading the NRC2 class. “During the recent local rally we did not experience any mechanical challenge except the loss of a bumper when we hit a sand wall. Drivers from other provinces described the race as hot, dusty and difficult,” he added. Jaco owns LimDent Autobody while George lives in Pretoria where he works as area manager at the Independent Dealer Association. The Baker brothers are the northern region champions, an area which includes Limpopo, Gauteng,

North-West and Mpumalanga “Motorsport requires plenty of time and effort for repairs or preparation before a race and sometimes hours are spent underneath the car. We had several setbacks during past races, but never look back. I mostly enjoy the adrenaline rush when behind the steering wheel. And it gives me great pleasure to have my brother next to me and wife, children and father waiting at the finish line,” Jaco said. He stressed that a perfect relationship between driver and co-driver is crucial. “We both make mistakes but we just continue concentrating and applying our minds to the race. Some partners become so angry at each other that they end up in a fist fight. Thankfully we don’t have those kind of issues,” Jaco said. The Baker brothers will compete in the next rally in Secunda on 29 November. Jaco thanked their sponsors Coca-Cola Fortune and Autozone and their father for always keeping their rally car in running condition.

Zani Prinsloo 14de keer beste gimnastiek afrigter in Suid-Afrika >> ‘Ek het ‘n passie vir perfeksie en vir kinders’ >> Benader gimnastiek uit opvoedkundig-Christelike oogpunt WARREN BLUNT >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com

ie hoofafrigter en mede-eienaar van Zanis Gymnastics Academy, Zani Prinsloo het al ‘n lang pad in haar gimnastiekloopbaan gestap sedert sy as driejarige kleuter met artistiese gimnastiek-afrigting by haar ma, Molly begin het totdat sy aan die begin van Oktober by die Suid-Afrikaanse Gimnastiek Kampioenskappe in Kaapstad vir ‘n ongelooflike 14de keer as die beste afrigter in Suid-Afrika deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Gimnastiekfederasie (SAGF) aangewys is. Die voormalige hoofmeisie van Hoërskool Pietersburg het in ‘n gimnastieksaal grootgeword. Sedert negejarige ouderdom het sy elke jaar provinsiale kleure verwerf en is drie keer as die Suid-Afrikaanse artistiese kampioen gekroon. Toe sy 16 was, het sy amper vanselfsprekend begin afrig en aangehou tydens haar universiteitstudies. “Ek kon my passie vir gimnastiek met my BA-graadstudies aan die Universiteit van Pretoria uitleef waar ek in my

honneursjaar in sportsielkunde en gimnastiekbeserings spesialiseer het,” verduidelik Prinsloo. Na voltooiing van haar studies en ‘n rukkie in die onderwys het Prinsloo voltyds begin afrig wat sy as die beste besluit van haar lewe beskou. Mettertyd het sy al haar doelwitte as seuns- en meisies artistiese afrigter bereik en met ‘n nuwe uitdagings as ritmiese afrigter begin. Prinsloo sê haar wenresep vir beide haar en haar gimnaste se volgehoue sukses om jaar na jaar medaljes by nasionale kampioenskappe in te ryg, is grootliks toe te skryf aan genade en seën van die Hemelse Vader en baie harde werk. “Ons berei gimnaste vir kompetisies voor met dié wete dat enige iets op dié dag kan gebeur. ‘n Gimnas kan misvang of ‘n klein fout met ‘n beweging begaan en ‘n medalje verbeur,” sê Prinsloo en voeg by dat volgehoue ondersteuning en goeie samewerking met mede-eienaar, Annemarie du Plessis een van die redes is dat die klub aanhou presteer. “Ons afrigters is ‘n ongelooflike wonderlike span en het ‘n passie vir perfeksie en vir kinders. Ons werk is ons plesier met die Skepper aan ons sy. Aangesien ek en Annemarie beide in die onderwys was en opvoeding ons na aan die hart lê, benader ons gimnastiek uit ‘n opvoedkundig-Christelike oogpunt.” Prinsloo bly op hoogte van die nuutste afrigtingsmetodes met behulp van voortdurende kommunikasie met van die beste afrigters en beoordelaars ter wêreld. Sy woon ook gereeld kursusse by en sê die grootste fout wat mens

kan maak is om te dink jy weet alles. “’n Mens is nooit te oud om te leer nie.” Bewys hiervan is haar rits gimnastiekkwalifikasies; internasionale artistiese vlak 1-afrigter vir seuns en dogters van Federation Internationale Gymnastique, ritmiese afrigter en beoordelaar, vlak 2, trampolienafrigter, vlak 1 en seuns artistiese beoordelaar, vlak 2. Vanjaar se toekenning as beste ritmiese gimnastiek-afrigter, vlak 6 en 7 is ekstra spesiaal omdat dit haar hoogste ritmiese toekenning tot dusver is. “My doelwit as gimnas was altyd om die beste afrigter in die land te word. Later was my doelwit om as afrigter vir die nasionale span gekies te word wat ek al twee keer was. Nog ‘n ideaal was om Zanisgimnaste in die SAGF nasionale span te hê en tot dusver is 14 van ons gimnaste in die span. Die hoog tepunt is ‘n vlak 8- seunsgimnas wat in die nasionale span is,” sê ‘n trotse Prinsloo.
