IT’S WAR Penina Park up in arms against sex, crime, rubble YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com
S
ex, crime and rubble. Merely a few factors contributing to the frustrations of Penina Park residents who are rising in unison against a state of affairs that has seemingly been negatively impacting on their wellbeing the past few years. Having declared war against a prevailing scenario they have now joined forces to claim the delivery of services they reckon they deserve.
A meeting chaired by Penina Park Ward Sector Committee Member Magrita Makgoka last Thursday evening brought together community members who added their voices to a list of concerns mostly relating to safety and infrastructure maintenance. From conversations and attendance of the meeting it was established that crime-related issues, demarcation of municipal borders, the municipal billing system, the need for the construction of a security wall around the neighbourhood and recreational
facilities, lacking delivery of services like maintenance of roads, street lights, drainage systems as well as the removal of escalating heaps of rubble were the main culprits contributing to residents being aggravated by the current situation. Before the start of the meeting Makgoka highlighted worry over Penina Park resorting under Ga-Molepo within the municipal boundaries, which was regarded a rural environment with different infrastructural challenges.

Buthane in court for assault RC Myburgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com
E
conomic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Legislature Member Jossey Buthane and his co-accused Lebogang Mohaneng appeared in the Mokerong Magistrate’s Court last week on charges of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto said the case was postponed until 22 October and both accused were released on free bail. The matter stems from an alleged argument at an EFF sub-region gather-
ing held in Mahwelereng at Mokopane on Sunday, 28 September. Otto earlier told Polokwane Observer that the incident allegedly took place around 12:30 and was reported at the Mahwelereng Police Station at 18:00 the same day. According to Otto the complainant alleged that Buthane instructed him to leave the meeting as he was allegedly not a member of the Mogalakwena sub-region after which an argument ensued. The complainant was allegedly beaten, booted and hit over the head with an empty beer bottle.

that Penina Park has turned into a rubbish dump which negatively impacted on the value of properties in the suburb. She has given an undertaking to take up the matters with the local municipality on behalf of the residents of Penina Park whom she urged to join the battle. She can be reached on 083 798 2120. In providing general comment Polokwane Municipality Communications and Marketing Manager Tidimalo Chuene responded by saying as far as she was concerned the area was continuously being serviced. She called on residents to contact the municipal call centre or ward councillor in case of certain services requiring attention. The municipality was currently in a process of having evaluated submissions for proposals for public private partnerships for the delivery of services augmenting what the municipality was doing, she explained. Also a roads master plan has been adopted by the council during its last meeting which would hopefully make impact where necessary, she added. On the billing system she referred to repeated requests for ratepayers to create time to have their bills individually checked at the municipal rates hall. With regards to addressing crime in the area they were readily available to facilitate a meeting between the community and the Police to address the issues. She was not aware of Penina Park resorting under Ga-Molepo but undertook to follow it up.
High ranking Police officer in dock From page 1 concerned was sentenced to four months imprisonment or a R2 000 fine suspended for a period of three years. The source stated that what the alleged perpetrator’s colleagues are most irked by is that the officer was never suspended nor was any internal disciplinary action taken against him after he was found in possession of a cell phone allegedly stolen during a housebreaking incident in February at the house of a senior Police officer. “During the investigation, which obviously enjoyed superb attention, the Crime Intelligence Unit filtered information that the guilty officer is in possession of the alleged stolen cell phone through to Polokwane Cluster Com-
mander Joseph Maepa who then confronted him and wanted to arrest the officer. But alleged instruction from higher authority resulted in no arrest being made,” the source said. The docket opened by Maepa in February never made its way to court until seven months later on 25 September when it was eventually heard, the source said. He explained that a criminal record must be updated within 48 hours after the court appearance. He referred to the matter of no criminal record being placed on the guilty officer’s name yet. “I believe it is again the result of instruction from higher authority that the criminal record has not been updated yet,” the source claimed. He added that, in terms of the South African Police Service Act 68 of 1995, Section 40, which speaks of misconduct, the officer was supposed to have been suspended without salary in February after the cell phone was found in his possession. That however never happened and he continued in his high ranking position.” “It is not fair towards other Police officers and especially the community whom we are supposed to serve and protect when our own
members are let off the hook for committing more crime rather than fighting crime,” the source insisted. Provincial Police Spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi in his reponse said: “The matter is in the office of Provincial Commissioner Fannie Masemola and we cannot justify the allegations of nepotism involving senior managers with a response. The officer must go through due processes and these are internal matters which we cannot put in the public arena.” Mulaudzi however confirmed the finding of the court against the officer. Solly Bulala, Provincial Secretary of the South African Policing Union (Sapu) confirmed that the officer is a member of Sapu and that they are aware of the case. Bulala said although the union does not approve of its members being involved in crime it will only comment on the matter once it has received all documents pertaining to the court proceedings in the case. Despite the officer having appeared before court and being found guilty, Polokwane Observer decided to withhold his name due to the seriousness of the allegations and his position within the service.

lack of maintenance to tarred roads, culverts blocked by debris, street lights out of order and the need for speed humps on dangerous curves. On the issue of crime posing a major headache, one of the residents who provided photos of the decay said they have had 12 burglaries in the approximately 23 years that they have resided in their house. “There’s a serious problem we need to address.” One of their neighbours, she added, suffered a burglary two nights prior. The resident explained that holes in a perimeter fence and too many access points to Penina Park contributed to the problem. In addressing the points of discussion on the agenda of the meeting Makgoka said they lacked a sports field for recreational purposes in Penina Park and added that the only park had been turned into a car wash with drug dealers having made it their home. With regards to maintenance of street lights she reiterated that for the past four months it has been dark at night in the street where she resided due to lights being out of order and not repaired. To this residents provided information about similar situations in Chuene Avenue, Mutale Avenue, Limpopo Avenue, Letaba Avenue, Palala Avenue and Selati Avenue, where in some instances branches of encroaching trees also required urgent cutting.

From page 1 She added that she made the discovery at an earlier Integrated Development Plan meeting of the Polokwane Municipality, but after numerous questions they were still awaiting an explanation from the municipality. Makgoka claimed that Polokwane Municipality had not rendered services in Penina Park since 2011. She stressed the suffering due to the community not receiving municipal services and a host of factors affecting them negatively. In a document handed to Polokwane Observer there is reference to, among others, roads being damaged by potholes, manholes without lids, lack of order as houses have been turned into brothels or businesses and invaded by drug dealers who have also found a haven in the park, tall grass and trees not given attention and burglaries being a daily occurrence. During the meeting alarm was raised about matters of distress that included the alleged operation of a brothel in the area, residents facing a crisis due to ever escalating crime, astronomical water bills varying between R6 000 and R12 000 and faulty water metres not fixed to which residents in attendance testified, noise from parties that stretched into the wee morning hours, youngsters with alcohol in hand running the risk of getting hit by passing vehicles at party venues, a park that has been turned into a car wash, fire set to discarded building material and garden refuse at illegal dumping sites in the area, potholes due to
Education Dept could face possible criminal charges YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com
P
ossible criminal charges against the Department of Education could stem from efforts by Democratic Alliance (DA) leaders to expose an abandoned school project initially supposed to have benefitted deaf and blind learners apparently still occupying premises declared unfit a year back. DA Shadow Deputy Minister on Basic Education Desiree van der Walt instituted a charge against the Department of Education with the Public Protector on Tuesday. The action against the department relates to an abandoned school project at Mankweng destined for relocation by learners from Setotolwane Secondary School for the Deaf and Blind. Armed with some 50 images forming part of her case, she told Polokwane Observer she intended handing a collection of photos of the rundown facilities to Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga when raising the matter with her at the reopening of Parliament next week. The case would further be taken up with the provincial department in the Legislature by DA Provincial Leader Jacques Smalle, she added. In a statement that followed the formalities at the Public Protector’s Office in Polokwane there is further reference to charges having been laid with Chapter 9 institutions, including the Human Rights Commission to probe alleged maladministration, corruption and viola-
tion of children’s rights. It was added that the DA would further be writing to Auditor-General Kimi Makwetu to investigate the cost of the abandoned school project in Mankweng and simultaneously seek an independent assessor to evaluate damages to the facilities to provide them with an estimated figure for repairing damages due to vandalism. In an interview Van der Walt referred to vacant but new facilities of an undisclosed amount located at Mankweng which were meant to temporarily accommodate learners of Setotolwane Secondary School for the Deaf and Blind after the premises they occupied along the road to Mashashane were declared unfit for occupation last year. Since then they have been waiting for the temporary arrangement to take effect but to no avail, she said. The old teachers training college they were occupying already seemed unfit for purposes of occupation at the time of her visit way back in 2011, Van der Walt reckoned. She explained that a contractor was appointed and the new facility constructed next to Hwiti High School at Mankweng , but in the meantime vandals have taken over. From the photos made available to Polokwane Observer it is evident the unoccupied facility is testimony to man-made destruction. Water from leaking pipes are covering damaged surfaces, wash basins were ripped from the walls, shower curtains are strewn across the floor in an ablution facility, mirrors were removed, doors are devoid of glass panes or removed

from frames and toilets left in a condition unfit for human use. It was clear from the condition the facilities were in that the Department of Education did not have control over their projects or where tax monies went, Van der Walt stressed. Education Department spokesperson Paena Galane commented by assuring that heads would roll if those responsible for implementation of the relocation of the learners to Mankweng by the beginning of the new academic year would have failed to do so. He said the facilities currently occupied were declared not fit for use around September last year. Elaborating in his response he said Education MEC Thembi Nwedamutswu met with principals and management of special schools in Polokwane in August this year to ascertain the challenges they faced, whereupon infrastructure, human resources as well as learner and teacher support material were identified as main problems. One of the issues prioritised was the relocation of the learners of Setotolwane Secondary School for the Deaf and Blind, he mentioned. During an inspection visit to the site at Mankweng last month the access point, and with that paving and railings, and the theft of copper cable were identified as factors requiring changes in order to meet specified needs before relocation could occur, he explained. He was unable to provide the costs of the project and the time frame set for completion, but undertook to supply the information.

Wiam kon nie betyds rem nie en het teen die voertuig gebots,” sê hy en het bevestig dat twee dokters binne minute op die toneel was. “Ek het Wiam se selfoon uit sy sak gehaal, maar dit was stukkend. Met sy SIM-kaart in my foon het ek sy ouers geskakel.” Hy sê die hulp van mense op die toneel het hom aangegryp. “Inwoners het handdoeke aangedra om die bloeding te stop en dokters en nooddienswerkers het onverpoos probeer om Wiam se lewe te red,” sê hy.

Hy was ‘n kind van die Here wat altyd behulpsaam en betroubaar was.”
The announcement by Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng that electrification of Thogoaneng village in the Ga-Chuene area is just a switch away was met with cheers from the community. Nkadimeng announced this during a recent meeting with the community to introduce them to the contractor appointed for the electrification of the village and also to formally hand over the site as an instruction to proceed with the process. A media release by Tidimalo Chuene, Manager Communications and Marketing of the municipality quoted an elderly resident from the village to have said he was grateful for the electricity because, apart from having electricity in their homes it meant problems with the machine that is supposed to pump water from the reservoir will also come to an end. The electrification project, to be implemented at a cost of approximately R4 million, will benefit 335 households and is expected to be completed within five months. The project is will create about 40 job opportunities. Handing over the project to the contractor, Nkadimeng urged the community to support the project and the contractor to ensure that there is no interference by community members that would interrupt the flow of the project implementation. “In fact we would appreciate that you support the contractor so that if possible the process could be speeded up so that by Christmas this community is lightened up,” Nkadimeng is reported to have said. She took the opportunity to emphasise that electrification in the municipality is done according to the electrification priority list. The municipality will also continue to engage with Eskom and other state agencies to solicit funding for electrification of areas that do not fall within its scope of electrification. Albert Chuene, representative of the Ditlou Machidi Tribal Authority reportedly echoed the call by Nkadimeng for the community to support the process and added that the tribal authority welcomed any development that is set to improve the lives of the communities in the area. The municipality has put aside R19 million for rural electrification during the 2014/15 financial year.
Premier encourages respect for anthem, flag Herbert Rachuene >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Each household should have a South African flag and make sure that it is handled with the dignity it deserves.

We must carry it with the dignity it deserves,” Mathabatha said and added that the national anthem deserves the same respect. “Children from elementary school must be taught how to recite our national anthem. It is also my take that an average South African must at a minimum be able to speak at least one African language which is not his mother tongue. This will promote and advance common South African patriotism,” Mathabatha said. Mathabatha further said the theme “Celebrating 20 years of Democracy. Tell your story that moves South Africa forward” reminded South Africans of the milestones achieved on the road to democracy.
He challenged the creative community to produce films, write songs, books and poems about the past 20 years of freedom and democracy. “We want them to capture this story accurately and objectively for the benefit of generations to come. It is important to remember that the South African story of the past 20 years is not Photo: just about Archives the sucPremier cesses of the Stan government. MathabaOur story tha. is actually about men and women who have collectively risen from the ashes of apartheid doldrums on to the glitters of world stages,” he stated.
DA urges mayor to intervene in Molemole water crisis BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com The Democratic Alliance (DA) has requested the Capricorn District Executive Mayor (CDM) Gilbert Kganyago to urgently intervene in the water crisis that has emerged in several parts of Molemole Municipality. A press statement by DA Councillor Calvin Matjee revealed that, among others, the villages of Sekakene , Fatima, Mogodi, New Stands and Ga Madikana have been without water for almost six months. This, despite CDM’s allocation of more than R11 million for 2013/2014 to supply these villages with water. “The residents are being propelled to use
their last money to buy water for survival. This is a burden to those poor families that have no source of income at all or are relying on social grants. The municipality further failed to repair the water pumps in these villages and that has led to the water crisis for the past six months,” Matjee says. “As it is the competency of CDM to provide water to the residents, the DA calls on Kganyago to dispatch municipal officials to fix the water pumps within 48 hours and to provide water tankers as an interim relief while fixing the water pumps to avert the crisis,” the statement read. Various attempts to source comment from Molemole Municipality had failed at the time of going to press.

Polokwane Municipal Service Centre welcomed by the community BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com The recent opening of Polokwane Municipality’s Molepo/Chuene/Maja cluster office received a warm welcome by the community and their representatives. This is because residents will no longer have to travel long distances into town for service delivery issues because services have been brought closer to them. Napenyane Maja, traditional leader of the community, reportedly said the municipality’s decision to bring services closer to the people was much appreciated. “This building was put up some years ago and we are grateful that the mayor has decided to make sure that it now serves the purpose that it was set up for so that our people can enjoy the benefit of no longer paying a lot to go into town to report issues,” Maja said. Polokwane Executive Mayor, Thembi Nkadimeng is reported to have said that the Molepo/Chuene/Maja/ office is the last of the municipality’s six to cluster offices to be opened. “The reason we are doing this is to decentralise functions of the municipality so that we alleviate the situation were communities were forced to travel to the centre of the city to seek for basic services,” she said. The service centre will also serve as a point of information dissemination for the community so that the communities can have the same amount of information as com-
pared to those in the city and urban areas. “The overall aim is to ensure that in the near future the municipality will be able to partner with other government services like Home Affairs, Sassa and others based on the survey that the municipality will conduct to determine this community’s needs,” Nkadimeng said. Tidimalo Chuene, Manager Communications and Marketing of the municipality, reported that the establishment of municipal cluster offices (formerly known as community service centres) started in 2007 to provide local communities with access to information and municipal services. This was an initiative to bring services closer to the people. The Molepo/Chuene/Maja cluster office was constructed at a total cost of R1 980 000 inclusive of professional fees and was identified as one of the centres wherein municipal departments are put under one roof to provide basic services to the people. Municipal service departments that are operating from the centre include Roads and Storm Water, Water and Sanitation, Traffic and Licensing Services, Public Participation and Cluster Services. A total of ten staff members have already been deployed to render services at the centre. The decentralisation of services to cluster offices is aimed at ensuring delivery of improved service and timeous response to queries and requests by the local community with regard to matters such as water supply, power failures, grading and re-gravelling of roads and graveyards.

oad projects being implemented by Polokwane Municipality continue to contribute towards job creation for its communities, said Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng this week as she continued to visit Polokwane road projects that are being implemented. The purpose of the project visits is to check on progress being made and to ensure that the right quality is delivered. According to Tidimalo Chuene, Communications and Marketing Manager of the Municipality, the mayor said the challenges she came across while visiting communities in the municipality are basically around roads, water and sanitation with some areas still having challenges with electricity. “We understand these challenges from the basis that we are in a developmental state. We still have roads that have never been tarred and the municipality is working hard spending in the region of R50 million to make sure that our roads are usable either by re-gravelling or tarring them,” she said. Nkadimeng is quoted to have said that though the essence of job creation in the areas visited cannot be counted in hundreds, it has an effect of feeding more people. “As an African child I know that when you give a job to one person, you are feeding an extended family of more than ten people,” Nkadimeng said adding that “we make sure it is the locals who benefit from these projects”. The Mayor’s itinerary included the under construction Mamatsha (Makubung to Boshega) and Silicon to Matobole arterial roads in the Molepo/Chuene/Maja cluster. According to Chuene the Mamatsha (Makubung-Boshega) Phase 1 arterial road entails upgrading of 1,9 km road length from

Phase 2 of the same road entails upgrading of 1.9 km road length with storm water control at a budget of R10 million for the 2014/2015 financial year. The project is at 15% physical progress status. The upgrading of the 3 km arterial road from Silicon to Matobole Phase 1 from gravel to tar with storm water control is also underway. A budget of R10 million which was rolled over from the 2013/2014 financial year was set aside for the project which is at 92% physical progress, having created 71 jobs for locals so far. An amount of R10 million in the 2014/2015 financial year is set aside for upgrading of the arterial road from Silicon to Matobole-Phase2 which entails upgrading of 2 km road length from gravel to tar with storm water control. The project has created six jobs for locals thus far.

Traffic department hits hard on offenders
Thieves target Bon Marque for second time
RC MYBURGH >>rc.observer@gmail.com
I
n the light of regular reports of criminal activity in Penina Park and a recent shooting incident at Waterland it came as no surprise when Bon Marque, a local indoor sports arena, fitness centre and venue for religious gatherings on Sunday was hit by thieves on Sunday evening resulting in a loss of just over R40 000. Owner Mervyn Osborne said the thieves gained access to the arena by breaking through one of the wooden back doors after cutting the fence next to the main entrance gate of the premises. “They mainly targeted the pool tables by breaking out the coin deposit boxes. They also opened the soccer table and took all the coins. The coins were not even worth R1 000,” he said and added that the thieves were particular about alcohol and taking only certain brands as well as flavoured milk. “The big-
gest loss is the sound system belonging to members of the church,” Osborne said. Although Osborne opened a case of housebreaking at the Polokwane Police Station, Spokesperson Lesiba Ramoshaba was not aware of the incident.

The Department of Transport, Safety and Liaison has, as part of the October Transport Month and in preparation for the Festive Season, made clear that it will show no mercy towards road users disobeying the rules of the road. From Friday until Sunday afternoon no less than 162 heavy motor vehicles were weighed and 22 drivers charged with overloading from a total of 229 vehicles stopped and checked. Hundred and fourteen summonses were issued while 98 were tested for roadworthiness. “We also discontinued 31 vehicles, including three heavy motor vehicles, 12 minibuses, nine bakkies and six sedans. Fourteen
minibuses were impounded for failing to present legal documentation while 43 warrants of arrests were executed,” Spokesperson on traffic Kagiso Mootane said. She further cited that six fatal accidents were reported across the province over the weekend in which 12 people were killed. “I can recall one accident on the R81 toward Giyani where a driver of a vehicle hit a pedestrian, lost control of his vehicle and collided with a tree. The pedestrian was instantly killed and the driver and four passengers seriously injured,” she said. She warned motorists to obey the rules of the law at all times. “We will take a zero tolerance attitude towards drivers causing a hazard for themselves and other motorists,” she said.

Three people were murdered in Seshego over the weekend, Police Spokesperson Mothemane Malefo said on Tuesday. In the first incident an unknown man was allegedly stabbed during an argument with another man in Extension 76 on Saturday morning. “A third man tried to intervene but was also stabbed in the process to separate to two fighting men. He was admitted at the Polokwane Provincial Hospital while the man initially involved in the fight died on the way to hospital,” Malefo said. One person has been arrested and was expected to appear in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Wednesday). On Saturday morning the body of Lesiba Ngoasheng (22) was found in the old Seshego cemetery. “Members of a family who supposedly went to unveil a tombstone made the discovery. Malefo said no arrest had been made in this regard. In the third incident on Sunday morning another stabbed victim, William Phooko died on his way to hospital after being stabbed twice in the chest and back. “A 19-year-old man was arrested and was expected to appear in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Wednesday),” Malefo said.
Mentally challenged minor raped
A 17-year-old mentally challenged girl was allegedly raped by three suspects after they reportedly abducted her on 26 September. “The three men have been arrested and will appear in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court soon. Thus far we have established that the three men are not living in the same house but in the same neighbourhood. The victim was allegedly abducted on 26 September and repeatedly raped by the three men and only released on 29 September. They are aged between 19 and 24,” Police Spokesperson Mothemane Malefo said. In another case of sexual abuse Frans Maonama (49) was denied bail by the Seshego Magistrate’s Court on Friday where he faces charges of allegedly raping his daughter, now 17 since the age of 10. “It is alleged that the victim reported the incident to her mother repeatedly but she was not taken seriously. She then reported the matter to one of her educators who informed the Police and which led to the arrest of Monana on 23 September,” Molefo said. His first court appearance was on 26 September, and he will again appear on 11 November to proceed with his bail application.
Ritual killing suspect in court again end of month
Ernest Malatji who stands accused of the alleged murderer of Kgomotso Ragolane at Rhelela Village just outside Tzaneen in January this year, will appear in the Ritavi Magistrate’s Court again on 30 October and remains in custody. Ragoloane ‘s mutilated body was reportedly found by a passer-by earlier this year. One of her arms was cut off and her abdomen cut open. Malatji was arrested in April and was allegedly linked to the murder via DNA tests. The ritual killing of Ragoloane resulted in violent protests by community members of Rhelela during which houses were set alight, a satellite Police station damaged and 15 Police officers injured at the time.

T
he Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in collaboration with the National Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will host World Food Day commemorations at Nwanedi village in the Musina area on 16 October. World Food Day is observed every year with the aim of raising awareness on the issues of poverty and hunger. It aims to present opportunities to strengthen national and international solidarity in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty as well as drawing attention to the achieve-
ments of food and nutrition security and agricultural development. The South African Government is one of more than 150 countries that annually celebrate the day. Spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Sipho Dikgale in a media statement said: “Since its inception, the day has adopted different themes each year recognising various aspects around poverty eradication issues amongst which is the recognition of food as a fundamental “human right” and a source of life and well-being. The theme for this year’s commemoration is ‘Feeding the world, caring for the earth’. This theme rhymes well with a need to strike a balance

UL students to vote for hotly contested positions YOLANDE NEL >>observer.yolande@gmail.com
Thabo Komape, graad 9-leerder van Westenburg Sekondêre Skool help James Steele met die herstelwerk van stukkende tafels en banke.
hoofdoel is om mee te help om positiewe verandering op vele terreine in die gemeenskap teweeg te bring deur te help omsien na kinders en senior burgers. Die netheid van die skole in Westenburg is vir hulle ‘n hoofprioriteit. Jimmy Steele, waarnemende skoolhoof sê die ekstra klasse vir graad 11- en 12-leerders wat tot net voor die eindeksamen
by Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) aangebied word, help die Westenburg-leerders geweldig baie. “Die skool is dankbaar dat plaaslike ondernemings onbaatsugtig op vele terreine betrokke is en hulp verleen,” sê Steele.
Today (Thursday) is D-date for political parties to vote for the hotly contested 13 seats, positions and portfolios on the University of Limpopo (UL) Student Representative Council (SRC). According to Chris Ramafalo, who is the spokesperson for the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) in Limpopo, Monday was the last day for verification of nominated party candidates. He indicated that the final list would only have been made available yesterday (Wednesday) as raised objections would have been dealt with by then. With reference to structures showing intention to participate in the elections at UL, he said six submitted their documents on time with a seventh not making the deadline. Of the six, he indicated, one was disqualified for not complying with the submission of documents.

In the meantime the SRC elections held at the University of Venda (Univen) on Friday went very well, Ramafalo indicated. There the South African Students Congress (Sasco) won with 1 830 votes, it was learnt. The other structures contesting were the Azanian Students Convention (Azasco) which took 671 votes, Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command (EFFSC) that received 655 votes, followed by the Students Christian Organisation (SCO) with 623 votes, the Pan Africanist Students Movement of Azania (Pasma) that took 347 votes, the Democratic Alliance Students Organisation (Daso) that secured 223 votes and lastly the Congress Student Movement (CSM) which ended with 82 votes, he said. Results from the election of eight faculty representatives on the SRC at Univen were finalised on Friday and overall results on Saturday, Ramafalo said.

The Provincial Office of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) intends marching to the Provincial Treasury on 30 October to demand an end to continued Section 100 (1) (a) intervention in the province. This is according to newly elected Cosatu Provincial Secretary, Mkhomazi Thwala who addressed a media briefing in Polokwane recently. On 5 December 2011, National Treasury took over the administration of the Departments of Health, Education, Roads and Transport, Public Works and the Provincial Treasury. Thwala said Cosatu from the onset supported the intervention given the rot and collapse of good governance practices in the provincial government.
“However, we have become very concerned about the continued presence of the intervention team in the province as we believe they have done their job and it is time for them to go,” Thwala told the media. He stated that the announcement by Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene on 22 July 2014 that the intervention was to be terminated came as relief to the organisation. “However, two months down the line we are dismayed that there is no action that shows the pull out of Section 100 intervention in the province. Instead, national government is playing tricks on the matter. We believe the intervention team is no longer saving the interest of the people of this province. As Cosatu we reject this manipulation of genuine constitutional processes for narrow political interests,” Thwala said.

to undertake the design and implementation of the project. Jerome Schroeder, SMEC South Africa’s Power Transmission and Distribution Section Manager explained in a media release that there is a need for the municipality to increase its service capabilities, particularly with regards to electricity, as many areas do not have access to power. “SMEC SA was chosen for this project due to the company’s vast experience in this field and the renowned quality of its work.

ore than 1 450 houses within the rural areas of the Mogalakwena Municipality will soon be provided with permanent and reliable access to electricity as part of the R20 million Mogalakwena Electrification Project currently underway. The municipality currently faces a backlog of electricity infrastructure to several of the villages within the municipal area and has appointed global engineering consultants SMEC
of the design, as well as the use of several innovative solutions. In implementing the design of the Mogalakwena Electrification Project, we have had to ensure that all work carried out fits within the overall project framework,” he said. According to Schroeder the project is approximately 50% done and due for full completion in March 2015. He also referred to several challenges facing this project, including historical problems with service delivery where it had slowed down or were perceived by the communities as insufficient to their needs. This was overcome by involving the necessary officials and representatives from the municipality to address and resolve the matter,”
he described. The remote location of the villages has been another challenge. “The areas where the work is being carried out are difficult to get to as they are very remote and isolated in some cases. The Waterberg area is beautiful but getting to some villages was difficult. We have addressed this issue, and the project is running smoothly,” Schroeder added. Once the project has been completed, Eskom will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the facilities. Schroeder concluded that although SMEC is in charge of the project, there is dependence on Eskom in provision of bulk capacity and approval for energising. Contractors have not yet been appointed, but they will form a vital part of the project team. “The Mogalakwena Electrification Project is on track to finish on time and within budget,” he pledged.

Dra by tot kankerbewustheid en tooi bome in pienk BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com
K
ansa Polokwane werk volstoom om vanjaar voort te bou op die Pienk Bome vir Pauline-projek wat verlede jaar ‘n reuse sukses was. Volgens Sharon Stander, gemeenskapsmobiliseerder van Kansa is die sukses van 2013 nie net gemeet aan die bykans 70 km materiaal waarin bome regoor die land toegedraai is of die feit dat 55 dorpe deelgeneem het aan die inisiatief nie, maar dat verskeie geregistreerde kankerorganisasies saamgewerk het tot voordeel van hul plaaslike kankergemeenskappe en hul families wat daardeur geraak word. Van die materiaal is ook na die tyd gebruik om onder meer handsakke, hoede en plekmatjies te maak wat verkoop is. Pienk Bome vir Pauline 2014, ‘n nasionale inisiatief, het vanjaar weggespring met ‘n ruim borgskap van die Protea Hospitality Group. “Dit is roerend om sulke vrygewigheid vanuit die besigheidsektor te beleef. Sowat 100 dorpe en ‘n groot hoeveelheid skole het hul verbind om aan vanjaar se projek deel te neem. Mens weet dat ‘n blink toekoms op ons wag wanneer kinders onselfsugtig omgee vir ander. Besighede, organisasies en die publiek is vinnig besig om klaar te speel met die bykans 70 km material wat reeds beskibaar is. Die opgewondenheid van die deelnemende dorpe is aan-
steeklik, veral die wat mekaar uitdaag om te sien met watter dorp se poging die meeste geld vir Kansa ingesamel is,” sê Stander. Pienk Bome vir Pauline se hoofdoel is om mense bewus te maak van kanker, Maxie de Villiers draai ‘n gemeenskappe te boom voor Polokwane verenig en geld in te Observer se kantoor samel om toegang met pienk lap toe. tot kankerbehandeling vir almal wat deur alle soorte kanker geaffekteer word, te verseker. Pienk materiaal vir die projek is teen R20 per meter beskikbaar by Kansa Polokwane, asook Greener Tidings, Retsini- en Alpha Kwekery. Stander moedig die publiek aan om die projek te ondersteun en die bome by hul kantore, spreekkamers, besighede, huise en skole met pienk materiaal toe te draai. Die pienk materiaal moet by een van die bogenoemde afsetpunte aangekoop word, sodat Kansa daarby kan baat. Indien die materiaal elders aangekoop word, gaan die geld nie na Kansa nie.

Polokwane Police urge crime victims to speak out HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za The Management of the Victim Empowerment Unit at the Polokwane Police Station has urged victims of domestic violence to come forward, seek help and move on from the misery of their experiences. This is how Polokwane Police Spokesperson Lesiba Ramoshaba advised victims during the Polokwane Police Victim’s Rights celebrations at the Polokwane Police Station last Friday. “We always hear a lot about cases of domestic violence but the victims don’t want to come forward and seek for help and that on its own is suicidal. We have professional social workers at the station who are always ready to conduct
an immediate assessment of individual situations and offer counselling. So we are pleading with everyone, man and woman to come forward and report their cases and seek for professional help. It does not help to sit with the problem and assume that everything will be fine,” Ramoshaba urged. The event was attended by a handful of victims and staff members of the unit. Members of the unit also handed over toiletries, handbags and sanitary towels to the female victims. Ramoshaba said the gesture was aimed at restoring their dignity and their self belief and also to give them a sence of belonging. “Most of them are hopeless and as a result they can resort to anything with that move we wanted to show them that we care.”

Crisis control required for Mookgophong muni
ssues around the reported escalating service delivery and financial crises within Mookgophong Local Municipality have manifested itself in a host of fresh and renewed demands from all corners for the removal of Mayor Sarah Monyamane, who is being held responsible for a town hovering on the brink of collapse. As early as March this year South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) Provincial Secretary Simon Mathe called for the municipality to be placed under administration. When approached for fresh comment on Tuesday, Mathe indicated that the union has never rescinded on its earlier resolution. He expressed the view that if the recent redeployment of mayors was in the interest of service delivery there was no justification to keep the current mayor in her position. He reiterated the earlier call for the mayor to go. ‘Mayor failed the people’ Mathe further stressed that the mayor had failed the people and that in all probability Mookgophong Local Municipality could be led by a coalition council come the next local government elections. Faced by evidently devastating water, electricity, infrastructure, sewage and financial crises the small tourist and retirement town of Mookgophong is seemingly falling apart at the seams. The ever deteriorating situation has now prompted Democratic Alliance (DA) member on the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) and DA political head for Mookgophong, Beyers Smit to demand urgent
intervention from the highest level, including placing the municipality under administration. Following a visit to the town last week, a written request for action to be taken to intervene in the list of challenges that remains problematic has been sent to the Minister and Department Head of Water Affairs and Sanitation while feedback was being awaited on a request for an urgent meeting with the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Pravin Gordhan, he said. That, Smit indicated, followed a question to the Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister whether Mookgophong Local Municipality was financially stable enough to manage its own affairs, to which he still awaited a response. He further demanded that the municipality be placed under administration. Pollution of Ramsar Site Smit told Polokwane Observer he was also in contact with Friends of Nylsvley with interaction in mind to address alleged pollution of the internationally acclaimed Ramsar Site through sewerage apparently being relayed via ditches from adjacent Phomolong informal settlement and beyond the N1 highway to alleviate another problem that arose when the sewage system had seized last week. According to Smit they had just learnt that additional boreholes had been drilled within the boundaries of the same site, which exacerbated the crisis as drinking water to the town’s people would
become polluted. He further explained that the water capacity was supposed to have been addressed by two boreholes drilled by the Department of Water Affairs and Sanitation, but that the local municipality could not pay for the pump equipment while four existing boreholes were not operational or maintained due to financial constraints. The electricity crisis arose from a problem following an earth leakage at a burnt out substation in town, Smit explained. He said the DA had pursued all avenues to address the situation with the local municipality, but to no avail. It seemed as if they were engrossed in a financial crisis that monthly grew in deficit by R2 million, he said. Contaminated water In a later media release by the DA addressing the dangers of Mookgophong residents at risk of drinking contaminated water, it was stressed that the matter would also be raised with the MECs for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta), Makoma Makurupetje and Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, Seaparo Sekoati to secure immediate intervention following the decision by the municipality to direct the sewerage overflow towards Nylsvley. Reference was made to the municipality evidently recklessly polluting its own water supply. “We will be taking water samples to be tested at a laboratory to determine if it is suitable for human consumption.”
National intervention The DA further undertook to ask their colleagues in the National Assembly to use the parliamentary processes to pressurise the municipality to urgently solve the matter. A resident of Mookgophong related an unbearable scenario of townsfolk being fed up with prolonged periods without water and electricity while the prevailing sewerage problem most recently added to a reeking smell hanging in the air. No attempts were made to attract visitors or investors and an overall dilapidated appearance characterised the town, the source stressed. “Never in the past has the mayor entered into correspondence with the populace within the municipal borders to appeal to them to be patient as the challenges were being addressed.” No official comment could be obtained from Mookgophong Local Municipality where the phone system diverts callers to an operator that results in calls being terminated. Four attempts at noon on Tuesday all proved unsuccessful. Phoned for comment Coghsta spokesperson Motupa Selomo indicated that the taking over of the administration of Mookgophong Local Municipality was not on the departmental agenda and that they were currently not considering intervention either. He continued saying they were focussing on all municipalities in the province in terms of daily assisting them with support to build capacity to deliver services to the people.

Macadamia offers full medical care Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com
M
acadamia Village residents situated @ The Aloes on the outskirts of Polokwane have additional peace of mind with Macadamia Care, which offers 24-hour care by registered nurses and trained caregivers in case the need arises. All the facilities and services in a Macadamia Village are designed with the emphasis on healthy active living, physical well-being and professional care facilities. Different levels of medical service are available for residents, depending on their needs and at an appropriate monthly levy. All levies are designed to deliver predictable, value-for-money monthly services. Macadamia Care members have the peaceof-mind that professional care services in the form of assisted care and frail care are available in the village. Macadamia’s assistant living services are designed for residents who are generally in good health, but who in time may require extra help with day-to-day tasks like assistance with medication, dressings or bathing. Most residents enjoying assisted living will never have to move into 24-hour care centres, with the exceptions being cases such as Alzheimer’s or extreme physical frailty. The wellbeing of their residents as well as the broader community is very important to Macadamia management and one of the cornerstones on which their villages are built. Specially invited guests and some of the residents living at Macadamia @ The Aloes pictured at the opening of Macadamia Care in the village yesterday (Wednesday).
This is why every Macadamia Village features 24-hour care by registered nurses and trained caregivers and a well-equipped, modern Macadamia Frail Care Centre, set in attractive surroundings within the village complexes. These care centres cater for residents and members of the general public who are physically or mentally frail and need full time nursing care. While preferential access is given to village homeowners, fee-paying public access allows Macadamia Care Centres to be self-sustainable and helps to provide an affordable service for all residents should they ever need full time care and support.

HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za South Africa’s Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela is expected to give a Public Lecture at the University of Limpopo (UL) on Tuesday at the invitation of the university.

She will be our main guest on the day and we hope that with the lecture she will also inspire students who are pursuing a career in Law,” Selepe said. Madonsela, a human rights and constitutional lawyer as well as an equality and policy specialist, has over two decades of post legal qualification experience. She holds a BA in Law from the University of Swaziland and an LLB from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1990.

Gaste is in die voorportaal met viool- en klavierspel van twee leerders verwelkom. Die talentfees is met ‘n sirkustema aangebied en sirkusbaas, Chanté Jardim het haar goed van haar taak gekwyt om elke produksie en item op die program vlot te laat verloop.

yno Jardim van die Toyotaspan is vir die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar Hulp in Elke Behoefte (Hieb) se braaikampioen. Spar Florapark was die hoofborg van die kompetisie waaraan vyf spanne verlede Donderdag by die Polokwane Gholfklub om ‘n kontantprys van R10 000 meegeding het. Die beoordelaars was Dirk Liebenberg, Henry Bojé en Martin Kobald. Liebenberg en Bojé is bekendes in die gasvryheidsbedryf in die stad en Kobald is lewenslange ere-president van die Suid-Afrikaanse Sjefsvereniging wat ook by die gewilde TV-produksie, Bring en Braai betrokke was. Die deelnemers moes ‘n voorgereg, hoofgereg en nagereg voorsit en gaste kon ook hand bysit met die proewerk. Benewens die vindingryke wyse waarop die geregte voorgesit is, was stalletjies verbeeldingryk versier. Die wenspan se sappige beeshaas wat op ‘n klip gebraai is, het beslis ook die prys vir oorspronklikheid verdien.

Ladanna bied iets vir almal >> Noordelike poort na die stad >> ‘n Dorp op sy eie met alle geriewe byderhand BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com
D
ie versiendheid van die stadsvaders van die eertydse Pietersburg, wat reeds in September 1902 aan landmeter C A Rühs opdrag gegee het om 377 erwe aan die noordweste van die dorp op ‘n gedeelte van die plaas Doornkraal uit te meet, was die begin van ‘n dorp op sy eie wat eers as Annadale bekendgestaan het en mettertyd tot Ladanna (Annadale van agter gespel) vernoem is. Ladanna en later die kommersiële en ligte nywerheidsgebied, Ladine het met verloop van tyd gegroei van ‘n woongebied met ‘n paar besighede wat in ‘n lintontwikkeling langs die besiger strate ontwikkel het, tot ‘n dorp wat oor al die basiese geriewe en dienste beskik om in inwoners se dag-tot-dag behoeftes te voorsien en werkgeleenthede vir sy inwoners en die groter Polokwane te bied. Nadat Pietersburgstraat in 1953 geteer is, het dié uitbreiding nuwe aansien verkry en het nuwe besighede langs dié straat ontwikkel. Uitbreiding en verbetering van die stedelike infrastruktuur het gevolg en Ladanna hoef tans nie vir enigeen van die stad se nuwer woongebiede terug te staan nie. Ladanna huisves die stad se hoof brandweerstasie, die kantore van die munisipale beskermingsdienste en die verkeersdepartement en grens aan die Polokwane Internasionale Lughawe. Die munisipale toetssentrum vir voertuie en bestuurderslisensies is ook in Ladanna gevestig en ‘n tuinvullis oorlaaistasie word binne die woongebied voorsien. Die residensiële komponent van Ladanna word deur groot erwe gekenmerk met welige en boomryke tuine. Ouer huise maak oral plek vir woonstelle en meenthuise om in die aan-
vraag vir bekostigbare behuising te voorsien. Heelwat van die groter erwe is ook onderverdeel om voorsiening te maak vir meerdere wooneenhede, terwyl kleiner erwe gekonsolideer is om aktiwiteite wat ruimte vereis, te akkommodeer. Inwoners van Ladanna koester ‘n gevoel van veiligheid wat te danke is aan die nabyheid van die stad se nooddienste waarvan die voertuie gereeld deur die strate beweeg. Ladanna is ook Laerskool Piet Hugo se voedingsgebied en die stad se talle hoërskole en ander laerskole is enkele kilometer daarvandaan. Vulstasies, motorhandelaars, slaghuise, drankwinkels, kafees en supermarkte en ‘n poskantoor voorsien in die daaglikse behoeftes van inwoners en word ook sterk ondersteun deur verbygaande verkeer vanuit Seshego en die informele woongebiede soos Disteneng en Polokwane Uitbreiding 44. Die stad se nuwer inkopiesentrums en hospitale is binne bereik vir inwoners. Witklipstraat is die hoofstraat van Ladanna se eie sentrale sakegebied en die ruim voorsiening vir parkering voor besighede verseker gladde verkeersvloei. Sakelui verkies om hul besighede in Ladanna te vestig omdat huurgeld en bedryfskoste heelwat laer is as in die sentrale sakegebied. Besighede in Ladanna kompeteer met besighede in die groter sakesentrums in die stad en moet hulle derhalwe op diens en kwaliteit instel om volhoudbaar te wees. Baie van die besighede behoort aan groot korporatiewe sakelui, terwyl daar ook ‘n groot groep besighede is wat al jare aan dieselfde eienaars behoort en ‘n huishoudelike naam onder verbruikers geword het. Lojaliteit en persoonlike diens speel hier ‘n groot rol en kliënte word as familie beskou. Die gedeelte van Ladanna wat kommersiële en ligte nywerheidsaktiwiteite huisves, is binne stapafstand van die woonkomponent en kleiner besighede geleë en maak nie voorsiening vir hinderlike bedrywe nie, terwyl dit gerieflik geplaas is om van die versamelroetes soos Nelson
Mandelarylaan en Vermikulietstraat gebruik te maak. Hierdie deel van Ladanna is die tuiste van groothandelaars en verspreiders, skrootwerwe, duikkloppers, ingenieursdienste en brandstofverspreiders en maak ook voorsiening vir handelaars in bande, die store van die balju en staalwerke. Weens die nabyheid van Seshego en die informele vestigings op sy drumpel, is daar geen tekort aan informele en semigeskoolde arbeid nie omdat Ladanna op die deurgangsroete van al die openbare vervoer wat die stad vanuit die noorde binnekom geleë is. Die gebied beskik oor ‘n gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum wat aktief by die beveiliging van die gebied betrokke is en misdadigers kry die boodskap dat hulle nie in Ladanna geduld sal word nie.
Goseame Fresh Produce Open Market

Besighede soos JBM Staal, wat in die staalbehoeftes van groot konstruksiemaatskappye en bouers sowel as die kleiner nutsman voorsien, is ‘n huishoudelike naam. Janpret Trekkers en vulstasie is ‘n baken vir plaaslike kliënte en word deur boere vanuit die hele provinsie ondersteun, terwyl JMR Trailer Parts ‘n bekende naam in die stad en omgewing is. Goseame Fresh Produce Open Market se vars vrugte en groente trek kopers vanuit ‘n groot radius terwyl dié handelaar se grootmaat kruideniersware baie gewild is onder eienaars van informele winkels in die landelike gebied. Pro Brick & Pave se ruim perseel bied kliënte die geleentheid om van hulle verskeidenheid ontwerpe en kleure stene te kies en te keur en Chic & Veg Meat is ook ‘n gunsteling onder kopers.

sophisticated appearance. The front is elegant with smooth flowing lines while from the side the X-Trail’s profile depicts a sense of space. Reducing the drag and increasing the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle, designers optimised the A-pillar and door mirror shape. A roof spoiler, rear side spoiler and rear combination lamps reduce air turbulence. The smooth flowing lines are not just limited to the exterior, with an instrument panel that creates effortless flows from either side of the vehicle. The interior is filled with innovative features. The multi-function steering wheel controls are an important safety feature to help improve driving safety by putting the most commonly used controls on the most convenient places. The X-Trail features Zero-Gravity inspired seats that promote spinal support and help reduce fatigue over long distances. The new articulated seat shape also supports the pelvis to the chest and across the shoulder blades to help reduce muscular and spinal loads. In the LE model the driver seat features a six-way power adjustment. The X-Trail features a power tilt and slide sunroof which allows occupants to open sunshade for more light into the cabin and to tilt or full open the sunroof to allow more air into the cabin. Three engine variants are available in the X-Trail, a 2,0 and 2,5 litre petrol and a 1,6
diesel and with the option of all wheel drive (AWD). The diesel engine develops 320 Nm of torque, exactly the same as the outgoing 2.0 litre diesel model. As a result it is just as punchy but thanks to a smaller capacity, stop/ start function and a 90 kg weight reduction, the new diesel model is 20% more efficient. It also pays dividends at the fuel pumps with claimed fuel consumption of 4,9 litre per 100 km on the CVT derivative and 5,3 litre per 100 km on the AWD derivatives. Despite various other safety features such as a rear view camera, Around View Monitor (AVM), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Moving Object Detection (MOD) the X-Trail also offers Nissan Safety Shield. The Safety Shield concept is based on a bubble protection around the vehicle. This bubble consists of a number of layers which help protect the vehicle from potentially dangerous situations. When there is a high risk of an incident occurring, the vehicle’s safety systems are able to assist the driver to maintain control and in extreme circumstances where an accident is unavoidable the car’s safety systems help minimise any damage. To view the new Nissan X-Trail or to book a test drive visit BB Auto Nissan Polokwane on the corner of Excelsior and Landdros Maré streets or contact them on 015 297 1300.

Polokwane wors connoisseur wins Shoprite Checkers Boerewors Competition Koos van Dyk, a wors connoisseur from Polokwane, won the sought after 2014 Shoprite Checkers Boerewors Competition and drove away with a brand new Toyota Hilux 2.7 Double Cab Raised Body Raider. He also received a R2 500 holiday voucher from All Gold, a R2 000 Coca-Cola cash prize and R750 worth of Simba vouchers. Shoprite Checkers’ Communication Department reported that ten of the best South African boerewors-makers faced each other whilst aiming to impress a judging panel of food experts in the 2014 Shoprite Checkers Championship Boerewors grand finale, held at Sun City’s Valley of Waves on 4 October. The competition has proven to be as popular as ever, with more than a thousand of the country’s best boerewors-makers battling it out for the
ten best recipes to be selected to compete in Sun City. It was a gruelling five months with three elimination rounds and some 55 000 pieces of boerewors being tasted by 400 judges. Van Dyk is a regional meat market manager and said that he has tweaked his recipe over the years and finally got it perfectly balanced. He was also a finalist in 2012 and was confident that this year was his lucky year and is ecstatic to be the owner of the new Toyota Hilux. To add to this year’s excitement, the finalists will be donating a year’s supply (over 2 850 kg) of Championship Boerewors to a school of their choice. Van Dyk chose Hoërskool Pietersburg to receive the his 1 000 kg Championship Boerewors donation.

hen it comes to boldness, an appearance that turns heads and all the bells and whistles the sophisticated driver needs, the Range Rover LR-SDV8 offers an effortless driving experience and a definite must have to explore Limpopo and its beauty. Newly appointed product specialist Vernon Delport showed Polokwane Observer some interesting features of the Range Rover. The exterior has an imposing front grille which combines Dark Atlas and Atlas, as well as bodycoloured front bumper, Atlas vent blades and Noble plated upper and lower door handles give a seamless appearance. A wide choice of interior colour combinations and exterior paints allows for personalisation and there’s also a selection of striking alloy wheels, with 20 inch five split spoke wheels as standard. Fine materials, contemporary, streamlined design and craftsmanship form the Range Rover’s interior. Supple, hand-finished leathers complement real wood veneers and chrome instruments. The meticulous interior design makes the Range Rover spacious and comfortable and due to a 42 mm longer wheelbase, rear seat passengers can now enjoy over one metre of legroom. The Range Rover’s interior combines modern elegance with strong architectural forms. Sweeping clean lines are
Even the speedometer is electronic while the rest of the cabin is a never ending story on innovative style.
Rear seat passengers have the luxury of two screens, a remote control and USB port for endless entertainment.

emphasised by handcrafted veneers, which are available in a choice of carefully considered colours and materials. In the Range Rover, every detail is designed to preserve the elegant, clean lines of the cabin. State-ofthe-art, intuitive functionality is delivered by a simplified, accessible layout of control systems. There is excellent interior stowage space with more generous door bins, a large twin glove box as well as a large armrest box. There is also the latest climate control system. Under the hood lurks an exclusively designed for the Range Rover, the LR-SDV8 diesel engine which offers a powerful, effortless driving experience that’s rich in torque (700 Nm), delivering a power increase from 230 kW to 250 kW, whilst achieving 229g/km of C0₂ – 10% less than its predecessor. Parallel sequential turbocharging achieves consistent power and performance throughout the rev range and the eight-speed automatic transmission is smooth and responsive, offering compelling driving refinement. The Range Rover reaches the 100 km/h mark in 6,9 seconds and can reach a top speed of 218 km/h with a combined fuel consumption of 8,7 litre per 100 km. As far as safety is concerned the Range Rover offers only the best introducing the nextgeneration body architecture and performance capabilities. It features an advanced, allaluminium structure that is immensely strong and weight efficient to withstand the punishing impacts of extreme conditions both on and off-road. The monocoque is optimised to help provide structural integrity, increased stiffness and safety, as well as improved performance and enhanced sustainability. What interests the most on the new Range Rover is the entertainment system for back seat passengers with two screens mounted in the headrests of the front seats with remote control, USB port and two sets of wireless earphones. The design evolution of the Range Rover incorporates a simplified, more accessible layout of control systems for enhanced intuitive functionality.

Physical location and fleet
Samco Foods built its own factory, located at 35 Corporate Park 1 Magna Via, Polokwane, in 2008. The factory boasts two walk-in fridges and two blast freezers. The production line is able to process 5 tons of meat per day in a single shift. Samco Foods has a fleet of refrigerated vehicles that delivers product to our clients on a scheduled basis in the Limpopo, Gauteng and Mpumalanga regions. For quality assurance purposes, each vehicle is equipped with a tracking device which is remotely monitored by satellite surveillance. In order to maintain insurable standards while the meat products are in transit each delivery truck is equipped with temperature control. In addition all Samco’s drivers undergo additional defensive driving courses for accident prevention.
Quality management
Samco Foods continually strives to ensure that a quality product is delivered to clients. This is supported by a quality management system that is ISO/SABS aligned and aligns to HACCP compliance. The business is currently updating processes and systems to certify ISO 9000 compliance. This guarantees traceability of the product from the supplier, through production and onto the customer. Quality control, coupled with the health and safety requirements for the meat industry, has always remained a key focus point in the business. Occupational health and safety is managed through an OH&S committee and inspections are carried out on a monthly basis to ensure health and safety compliance is maintained on an ongoing basis. Samco Foods not only wants a healthy and safe environment for every worker but for the greater well-being of the community and consumers. To ensure that the company remains compliant, ongoing attention is given to this aspect of the business. Our bulk products are only sourced from reputable, registered abattoirs.
Customer service
Our critical success factor is that Samco Foods has been able to form strong partnerships with its clients and continues to ensure that these partnerships grow and new partnerships are formed. This is in part due to a great staff retention of 10 years plus. Customer service remains a prominent success factor evident by the fact that Samco Foods is growing in an excess of 20% per annum. To assist our customers’ needs, Samco Foods employs a dedicated sales team who are able to respond to each client’s individual requirements.

t may seem like a secondary concern while basking in the happiness of finding your dream home, but establishing what constitutes a fixture or fitting is an important part of the purchase process which shouldn’t be overlooked. There may be items that a seller has installed and would like to remove from the property when he moves. However, given the seemingly permanent nature of the item, the buyer may assume that it forms part of the property. The general rule when it comes to fixtures

constitutes a permanent fixture or fitting: • What is the nature and purpose for which the item was attached? The item must be attached to the land or the structure constructed on the land. It should be of a permanent nature or intended to always serve the land. • How and to which degree was the item attached? It should be sufficiently attached so as to become part of the land or structure. If removing the item will cause significant damage to the structure it should be considered permanent. • What was the intention of the owner when

attaching the item? If the intention was to permanently attach the item, then that should be taken into consideration. He added that generally if the item is bolted down, cemented, sown or planted and has taken root, it can be considered permanent. Items which generally fall into this bracket include, among others doors and their keys, windows, built-in cupboards and bookshelves, wall-to-wall carpets, bar/kitchen counters, shrubs and plants, built-in stoves and fixed light fittings. Items which could be misconstrued as permanent include, among others freestanding wardrobes, moveable kitchen preparation islands or blocks, stoves that are plugged in and not built in, fireplace screens, curtain rails, swimming pool cleaning equipment, burglar alarms, satellite dishes, Wendy houses and pergolas. List it in the agreement Where it is not entirely clear whether a particular item is a permanent fixture or not, it is important to state clearly in the sale agreement whether or not it is included in the sale. “The majority of sellers will automatically include satellite dishes as a fixture because the cost of moving it is the about the same as putting up a new dish if there is not one. However, unless specified on the listing sheet or agreement of sale as a fixture this could cause a problem should the owner decide to remove it.” Ultimately the sale agreement should cover all aspects of the transaction to ensure nothing is left to interpretation by either party. Better still, Goslett recommended preparing a list itemising exactly what is to be sold with the house prior to listing the property with an agent as doing so should offset any issues straight off the bat.

VERY MODERN HOUSE SITUATED IN EXCELLENT SECURITY COMPLEX “This property is beautifully designed to meet the needs of a executive young an modern family! The entertainment area stunning with outdoor living at its best! The main bedroom has its own wooden balcony. It is a Dream!”
HERBERT RACHUENE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Tshepo Phuti Moloto from Pax College in Ga-Mashashane Village in the Aganang area came out tops at the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (Saipa) and Association for the Advancement of Black Accountants (Absasa) National Accounting Olympiad competition held in Gauteng last Thursday. Moloto was named the top male performer in the category for government schools in the competition that aims to raise greater awareness of becoming a professional Accountant as a career choice. Moloto achieved a score of 92,88%, putting him slightly ahead of fellow government school top female performer, Sumaiya Moses from Uitenhage High School in the Eastern Cape who achieved 92,44%. The top private school performers were Ishmael Kaka from Pretoria’s Azaadville Muslim School and Dineo Mojapelo from Liberty Community College in Bramley, who scored 88% and 88,88% respectively. Phuti thanked his Accounting educator, Lesiba Ledwaba for having faith in him and guiding him throughout the year. “I never thought I could be amongst the best. It is because of his guidance and my efforts that I am able to produce good results. I always aimed at 70% in my subjects, but since he came along I no longer limit myself. It is without doubt that Mr Ledwaba is the best and most inspiring teacher I could ever have wished for,” Phuti said. Accreditation, Compliance and Development Executive for Saipa, Navin Lalsab reportedly said they are delighted with the overall performance of the many thousands of learners who took part in the competition. “As part of the Olympiad, all entrants are given study guides that help the learners in their schoolwork and preparation for final examinations. Learners who perform well in Accounting are more likely to pursue it as a career option, so part of our aim is to ensure that they are as well prepared as they can possibly be for their exams,” Lalsab said. He further pointed out that given the scarcity of those who are qualified as professional Accountants and the importance of mathematics and accounting, Saipa and Abasa commit to continuing, through the Olympiad, to promote professional accountancy as an attractive option for school leavers.

Grootouma, Joyce Reynart (84) was die oudste gas wat die spesiale dag van haar dogter en kleindogter meegemaak het. Musiekonderwyser, Ans Becker wat die
leerders met musiekitems begelei het, het ná die verrigtinge gesê dat die grootouers die geleentheid gebied is om te sien dat die leerders van Akademie Reformia nie net skoolgaan nie, maar ook aan aktiwiteite wat waardevol vir hul toekoms is soos kultuur, drama, sang en musiek blootgestel word. Marietha Nel, skoolhoof beskou die Oupaen Oumadag as ‘n besondere gebeurtenis om die kwartaal af te sluit en is dankbaar vir die belangstelling wat grootouers in die opvoeding van die leerders toon.

Prom fever is in the air
Tough survival camp organised by local scouts
BARRY VILJOEN >>barryv.observer@gmail.com
Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com
Prom fever is reaching fever pitch with Prom Night just around the corner on 18 October at Bolivia Lodge. On the night awards will be given to the best designer, make-up artist, hairstylist and photographer of the year. Prom Night will also serve as the launch of the 2015 competition and according to Sharon Stander, Community Mobiliser of Cansa, the competition will focus on Grade 11 female learners. Matriculants can nominate their designer, make-up artist, hairstylist and photographer by contacting Stander via SMS or email with the full name of the person, the business name, cell phone number and email address. Several categories will be contested namely style (couple and individuals), originality (couple and individuals), dance (couple and individuals) and Prom King and Queen. Couples and individuals are nominated by Stander, but in the event of a matriculant not being nominated or a matric farewell not being attended by Stander, matriculants can still enter by submitting two clear, full length colour photos (front and back) of themselves in their outfits. For hair and make-up entries two clear, colour, head and shoulder pictures (front and back) must be submitted. The entry fee is R100 per couple or individual and the closing date of the competition is still to be announced. Tickets to attend the event cost R100 per person. A cash bar and light meals will be available. Bolivia Lodge has a special offer on accommodation of R350 per room (single) and R450 per room (double) for out of town entrants and their families or friends. Service providers who would like to book a stall or matriculants who would like to enquire whether they have been nominated or if they want to enter themselves, should contact Stander on 079 887 0043 or e-mail her at sharon.e.stander@gmail.com. The competition is open to all matriculants and relevant matric farewell service providers in Limpopo. Bolivia Lodge is the main sponsor and Cansa Polokwane is a beneficiary of the competition.
Six scouts from the 1st Polokwane Scout Group and six scouts from the 1st Kempton Park Scout Group successfully completed their Backwoodsman badge camp at a game farm near Modimolle over the weekend. The backwoodsman is a three-day adventure during which the scouts had to build a shelter in the bush, sleep in it alone, forage for food in the veld, slaughter a live chicken and cook it over a fire made by friction. The scouts also had to navigate by night using the stars without the use of a compass or modern global positioning satellite devices. Afterwards, all the scouts had to ensure that no trace of their campsite could be found after they left the area. Group scout leader for 1st Polokwane Scout Group, Brian Jones said all of the scouts performed above expectations, especially during the night navigation exercise and all of them were deserved recipients of the badge. The next outing for the local scout group is a global communications exercise with fellow scouts next weekend.

Amakhosi will in turn host Chippa United on 13 December, Free State Stars on 16 December and Amazulu on 8 April. Chuene said both Super Sport and Kaizer Chiefs have a huge following in the province and with the PSL being one of the biggest leagues in the country. “Hosting such games always creates opportunity for the city to demonstrate its infrastructure and logistical capacity, which is an important element of investment attraction,” Chuene said. She also mentioned that the games will provide the much envisaged spectator entertainment for the people of Limpopo who are always looking at the city for shopping and leisure activities.

She stated that the match will afford the municipality an opportunity to show visitors from around the globe what Polokwane has to offer. “We will showcase our cultural diversity and some of the tourism products we have in the city,” Chuene said.

After ten years of practising the disciplined style of Japanese Karate Association (JKA) martial arts local karateka, Jaco Conradie was awarded his 3rd Dan black belt in Gauteng recently. The grading process was overseen by six senior JKA senseis, all with at least a six or seven Dan qualification and Conradie’s 3rd Dan is internationally recognised by the JKA headquarters in Japan. He is a member of Pietersburg JKA Karate Club where he started practising karate in 2005 under Piet van Rensburg. Conradie said achieving his 3rd Dan was the culmination of lots of dedicated practise at least three times a week, both at the karate club and at home over the past year. During the grading adjudication Conradie explained that he had to undergo three to four hours of pre-grading routines
consisting of basic JKA movements, freestyle and kata. Peak physical fitness was another key aspect of the grading process. “I had to participate in six freestyle contests, complete 15 different katas consisting of over 504 movements which made peak fitness an important requirement,” Conradie said. He was awarded his first black belt in 2007, achieved his 2nd Dan in 2009 and now five years later is the proud recipient of his 3rd Dan. The dedicated martial artist said karate teaches people self-discipline, perseverance, good coordination and self-control and has now become a way of life. Other than practising karate, Conradie is also busy with his final year towards a BSc Honours in Information Systems at the University of South Africa. He is married to Pietersburg English Medium Primary School Principal, Desiree Conradie and the couple has two sons.
Primary schools in Limpopo still have a last chance to enter for the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Mini-Cricket Kids versus Proteas Tour competition which closes on Tuesday.

Limpopo Academy of Sport wins prestigious National Lottery award Warren Blunt >>warrenb.observer@gmail.com
S
ome people regard their work as a tedious process and go about their jobs in a lackadaisical manner, while others go that extra mile and put in that extra effort to do their work properly to better the lives of those less fortunate. Limpopo Academy of Sport Manager, Slate Shiluvane is one such individual and won the award for the best overall National Lottery project in South Africa. He was nominated for the award by Lizzy Vogel, the President of South African Sports Association for the Intellectually Impaired (SASA-II) who was involved with a number of sport projects initiated and managed by Shiluvane. Vogel said the passionate sport administrator was a deserved recipient of the award as he is always willing to walk that extra mile in order to make a success of his various projects. She added that his administrative skills are exemplary and another reason why he received the award. One of the projects funded by the Limpopo Academy of Sport involves intellectually impaired athletes and Vogel said she has always enjoyed a good working relationship with Shiluvane regarding her athletes in Limpopo. Shiluvane explained that he was unaware of the annual award involving successful Lotto projects and only entered for the competition after being encouraged by Vogel and other sport administrators in the province. All Lotto funded projects from 2009 to 2012 were considered for the award and the various beneficiaries had to submit their business plan and a motivational letter on their respective projects. Limpopo Academy of Sport received a total of R11 800 000
>> Manager Slate Shiluvane deserves all the credit >> Dedicated towards serving sport in Limpopo
from the National Lottery. After being shortlisted for the award, National Lottery officials visited the Limpopo Academy of Sport to conduct a site visit and check if the various sport projects that received funding complied with the administrative requirements and necessary reports that had to be submitted to the Lottery Board. Shiluvane was very excited when his projects were nominated among the finalists and he was invited to the National Lottery Indaba at Birchwood near Benoni. At the indaba most of the other finalists were eliminated and the Limpopo Academy of Sport had to fight it out with one of the Lotto projects run by the Steve Tshwete Municipality in Mpumalanga. Thereafter, the Limpopo Academy of Sport was declared the overall winner in 2014, but Shiluvane refuses to accept all the credit after winning the award. He has been with the provincial sports academy since 2004 and said the Limpopo Academy of Sport executive board members the late Phil Matlala, Khorommbi Nemhavhola, James Mathonsi and Malubete Ralethe must also take some of the credit. Shiluvane dedicated the award to Jeanette Ramodike, a former manager at Limpopo Academy of Sport under
whom he worked as an administrator who assisted the academy to follow all the criteria and requirements in order to win the prestigious award. He also thanked the Chairperson of the Finance Committee for the Limpopo Academy of Sport, Khomotso Maila for guidance and applauded the satellite academies for complying; hence they also won the compliance and governance category. When he gets the space in between his busy programme, Shiluvane likes to spend quality time with his wife, Cynthia and three children at his home in Seshego. His favourite sporting codes are football, athletics and basketball.
