“We are no longer safe in this world...”

Ms Hleziphi Mkhari was over the moon last Tuesday afternoon, when an SMS from Standard Bank notified her that R2 399,80 had been deposited into her account.

“I am happy that the bank gave me my money,” she said. “I want to thank Limpopo Mirror for highlighting my plight. The story made it easy for me to get a refund.”

The 45-year-old Mkhari, who stays at Elim,

was a victim of an ATM scam and she was robbed of her hard-earned money a fortnight ago.

According to Mkhari, she was attending a case at the Louis Trichardt Magistrates’ Court when her phone started vibrating. It was an SMS notifying her of a R399,80 food purchase at a KFC in Tzaneen, some 107 km away. Shortly after that, a second SMS notified her of a R2 000 withdrawal from her account at an ATM in the same area.

Mkhari’s account was blocked immediately upon her reporting the matter at the Makhado Standard Bank branch. Her bank card has since been cancelled and a new one was issued to her.

Her story was also published in Limpopo Mirror.

Although she is extremely happy with the outcome of the problem and that her bank had refunded her, she wants to warn other ATM users.

“Always keep a watchful eye for fraudsters when making bank transactions,” she advised.

“We are no longer safe in this world.”

Acquitted ritual murder suspects’

Painful experience Shadrack Malange and Meshack Malange say that being accused for ritual murder has complicated their lives.

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho The three men acquitted in the Mutonga ritual murder case, Meshack Mkhwanadzi (20), Meshack Malange (22) and Shadrack Malange (22), are suing the Minister of Safety and Security for “unlawful detention and malicious arrest” and the national prosecution authority (NPA) for “malicious pros-

ecution and defamation of character” following their acquittal on 25 July.

The three men, along with Frans Madzive (54), David Mnisi (28) and Reynie Abraal (32), were being accused of allegedly removing Mr Phillip Bendzani’s genitals before setting him alight at Mununzu Farm outside Elim last year on 16 May. During the newspaper’s visit at the

home of the Malange twins at Mutonga near Elim, brothers Shadrack and Meshack said that the fact that they had been accused for a ritual murder had complicated their lives.

“Community members see ruthless murderers when they look at us,” says Shadrack.

“Arrest was a painful experience” (From page 1) They also revealed that they are living in fear in their own home and within the community they are part of. They then explained how, when they were in prison, they received a message from their family that the angry community had warned the family never to visit them in prison. “We had such a painful experience in prison because we never knew what would happen to our loved ones out there, because of our being implicated in the case and the community who threatened them always,” Shadrack stated.

He added that his partner and child had since left, after they had realised that their safety was at stake. “I don't even know where they are,” he says.

“This murder case has messed up my whole life.”

Shadrack maintains that his brother Meshack, Meshack Mkhwanadzi and he were arrested after Reynie Abraal said that they were his friends. “We think they were torturing him and he just mentioned our names,” he explained.

He said that he failed to understand the reason why the court had to keep him in custody for 14 months before they eventually dropped the charges against him. “I feel that the court failed to do their job properly and to act on time, when they kept me in jail for a long time, and that for nothing,” he complained.

Meshack's shack was demolished after the enraged community had ordered his mother to scrap it. “I am left with nothing, and I have got no place to stay,” he worried. “I am now suffering because of the police, who wrongfully arrested me.”

The Malange brothers' guardian and grandmother, Vho-Tshinakaho Malange, says that there were some people who were spreading a rumour in the village that the court had set her grandsons free because she had supplied the twins with a strong muti which had stupefied the minds of the

Man killed, seven passengers injured when bus overturns

By Linda van der Westhuizen

SRPA will pay municipality R5 million After withholding basic rates and charges for the past five years as part of their dispute with the Makhado Municipality, the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) received a mandate from their members to pay approximately R5 million over to the municipality.

“There are other avenues to ensure an improvement in service delivery.” This was the assurance given by Ms Inga Gilfillan, chairperson of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association, during the SRPA’s annual general meeting on 29 July.

With reference to the SRPA’s decision to pay over the money, the Makhado Municipality had committed themselves to writing off the interest accumulated over the five years on the accounts of the SRPA members. They have also agreed to investigate each individual account to ascertain in which cases the adjustment fees charged had been justified and in which not. According to the outcome of their investigation, the adjustment fees on some accounts might be written off.

The process may take about two months, after which the SRPA will receive the correct amount

to pay over.

Mr Solly Maano, vice-chairperson of the SRPA, said that paying over the money would indeed be a win-win situation, reiterating the sentiment of a previous speaker, Mr Frans van der Merwe. Van der Merwe also said that the quality of the service delivery had improved and that this was the original intent of the dispute.

Should individual SRPA members decide not to pay their individual accounts over, they would be liable for their own legal costs.

In this regard, Mr Phillip Mosina said that it was not beneficial for especially older citizens to have court cases hanging over their heads. The majority of the members at the meeting were more senior. As stated in the judgement of the Rademan-Moqhaka case and other relevant court cases, the municipality may consolidate different items on the municipal account and the customer cannot specify that the payment is for a certain item. Mr André Prinsloo, outgoing treasurer of the SRPA, said that taxpayers therefore no longer had legal grounds to withhold money.

The SRPA members decided that the association will contin-

ue as normal but decrease the commission from 5% to 3%.

That would be to keep the office and salaries going, as well as the attorney’s administration fees. The members will still pay their monthly accounts at Van Heerden and Rudolph attorneys.

The benefit for the members will be that the SRPA manager will be available to sort out their individual problems and contact the relevant municipal officials on their behalf. That has been a relief for many, especially senior citizens and businessmen, who have difficulty or no time to stand in queues or to be referred from pillar to post. In her chairperson’s report, Gilfillan mentioned that out of more than 300 letters written to the Makhado Municipality, only 16 written answers had been received. “The definition of service delivery is not clear enough,” Gilfillan said. She also mentioned a service delivery agreement document that the National Taxpayers Union is working on.

Ms Jana Smith thanked Gilfillan for her hard work as chairperson, the way in which she acquainted herself with the relevant legislation and her heart-and-soul commitment to the town.

The City to City bus that overturned when the driver lost control.

One passenger was killed and seven sustained injuries when the driver of a bus allegedly lost control and it overturned at Levubu on Tuesday.

The City to City bus was travelling from Thohoyandou to Gauteng when the accident occurred.

Most of the injured were taken to the Tshilidzini Hospital for treatment.

Levubu police spokesperson W/O Solly Mukhola said that the police were still investigating the cause of the accident. He said that they had registered a case of reckless driving, following the incident.

He added that the police were looking into the possibility that the driver of the bus might have been tired.

The deceased is Mr Gibson Mudau (60) from Ha-Mashau Thondoni, who passed away in the Tshilidzini Hospital on Wednesday morning.

One of the accident victims, Mr Mulalo Tshikovhi of Thohoyandou Block G, described what happened when approached by Limpopo Mirror.

“We heard a big bang and then we realised that the bus had overturned. It rolled several times and some of the passengers were thrown out of the bus,” he said. “There was a huge cloud of dust and we could not even see what was happening. I strongly believe that we were saved by the grace of God.” He suffered minor injuries to his head and a fractured left foot.

“This is the most horrible experience of my life,” he added.

An eyewitness, David Musaile, said he heard a loud banging sound before the accident happened.

“I was standing next to the road, when I suddenly heard that sound. I realised that the bus could overturn and it was travelling at high speed. It rolled several times,” he added.

Makhado Mayor Cllr David Mutavhatsindi said they were shocked to learn of the accident. He said the government was worried about the increasing number of accidents.

“This is a serious concern as more innocent lives are lost on our roads.”

Laptops for deserving Univen students The relationship between Dell and Univen, which started in 2002, continues to blossom as Dell continues to assist deserving disadvantaged students through bursaries and academic assistance tools.

During a recent function, the company handed over laptops to five students, which are given to assist them in their teaching, learning and research.

The official handover was held at the university’s council chambers.

The beneficiaries are holders of full bursaries which cover their

tuition, books, accommodation and their welfare. To date, Dell has already invested personal computers and bursaries to the total value of R2.67 million.

The new registrar of Univen, Prof Edward Nesamvuni, urged the company to continue supporting the students and the university.

He said they were happy that the company continued to support functional laboratories at the university.

Univen SRC President Mr Andisani Mathelemusa said it was their wish that all students

could have laptops to assist them in their work. He thanked Dell for the good work they are doing for the students.

Ms Chipo Msimanga, an accounts executive at Dell, said they appreciated the relationship they had with Univen.

“We are living in a digital world, and that is the reason why we are equipping students with laptops. We want them to apply themselves in this digital world and to be able to use social networks, do their lessons and submit their assignments on time while using their laptops.”

Staff from Air Force Base Makhado embarked on a 67-minute project in honour of Madiba on 18 July. At least 20 projects were identified this year and staff spent their time handing out food parcels, clothes and blankets. They also fixed potholes, cleaned certain areas and visited the needy to show their support. The beneficiaries of the day included the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital, Kutama Clinic, Rivoni Society for the Blind in Elim and the Razwimisani Special School in Ravele. In the photo, General Schalk van Heerden (third from right) watches as food parcels get delivered to the Rivoni Society for the Blind in Elim.

She left the child to play unattended, while she went home with some water,” said Nkala. He said when she came back to fetch more water, the boy had drowned in a nearby well.

No toilets for Lukau Primary One of the oldest primary schools in Limpopo, Lukau Primary, does not have toilets.

Pupils at the school, which was established in 1914, risk their lives by using open pit toilets.

The principal, Tshifhiwa Netshisaulu, says “the health of educators is at stake as they are exposed to the strong smell coming from the old pit toilets.”

The school has 368 learners and 12 teachers. “This situation is disturbing our school programme as we must also monitor every child who goes to the toilet. We are forced to monitor them, because some might fall into the open pit because they are very small.”

Netshisaulu, who was also a pupil at the school in 1970, says they alerted officials from the department who came to inspect the school two years ago about the problem, but they had no solution.

Another teacher, who chose to remain anonymous, says the situation at the school is also affecting the enrolment. “We have a very low registration here. Parents avoid sending their children because of the appalling situation,” says the teacher. Approached for comment, the spokesperson for the Department of Education, Pat Kgomo, said he was going to investigate and find out why there were no proper toilets at the school.

The Makhado cluster police, led by their newly appointed commander, Brig Alex Seopa, took part in various charitable events to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s birthday a fortnight ago. Police members from seven police stations in the Makhado cluster contributed their 67 minutes by cleaning Dzanani Township, the shopping complex, the local magistrate’s court and a local clinic. They were joined by members of the community, street hawkers, bank tellers and members of the local community policing forum. Photographed at the Mphephu police station are Colonel Leonard Luvhengo (left), commander at the station, and Brig Seopa (third from left) with some of the helpers.

A fortnight ago, the Ravele traditional council and members of the Mauluma community braced the cold weather and did their part in honour of Mr Nelson Mandela. The community cleaned the crèche (Nndwa-ya-Mionwa), planted trees and cleaned the yard in which the crèche is situated.

Highlighting the theme of this year, which put emphasis on food security, shelter and literacy, members of the community spent their time cooking food, reading books and narrating Mandela’s legacy to the children.

The Makhado Municipality recently started to renovate the bus parking at the OK taxi rank. The parking area was badly damaged by rain earlier this year.

Contractor jailed for attempted smuggling A 32-year-old Zimbabwean cross-border bus conductor was sentenced to an effective two years in jail for trying to assist 11 illegal immigrants to cross into South Africa through the Beit Bridge border post.

The border jumpers were travelling from Harare to Johannesburg aboard the cross-border bus.

Elsey Nkenesa of Harare was convicted on his own plea of guilty to a charge of contravening a section of the Immigration Act

by local magistrate Miss Gloria Takundwa on Friday. The court was told that on 10 July, Nkenesa arrived at the Beit Bridge border post aboard a South African-registered cross-border bus with 11 undocumented immigrants.

While at the border post, Nkenesa tried to assist the undocumented immigrants to cross into South Africa illegally after charging them R150 each. The offence came to light when the bus was intercepted by police detectives

who were manning the exit gate and they discovered that the 11 passengers were undocumented during their routine checks.

During interrogations it was established that they had paid a total of R1 265 to Nkenesa, so that he could facilitate their illegal passage into the country.

Nkenesa was searched, leading to the recovery of R1 150, and he was subsequently arrested. The border jumpers were also arrested and fined US$20 each.

Animal cruelty

“Stop ships to transport live animals” The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) is calling for public support for their campaign to stop the outmoded, unacceptable and cruel practice of exporting live animals by sea for barbaric slaughter.

“The NSPCA has opposed this practice, which was highlighted on two occasions on the MNet actuality programme Carte Blanche when stark footage of the harsh reality and the suffering of animals was broadcast, on both occasions to a public outcry,” the NSPCA says in a press release. They say that public support is required to strengthen their stance, which is aimed at lobbying the support

of the Department of Tourism, the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), as well as Border Control and other relevant authorities, to stop this practice.

“There are alternatives. Exporting meat rather than live animals is preferable,” says the NSPCA. Members of the public are asked to follow the links below and to sign up to show support as well as share the links http://goo. gl/sKjqH. The link to the website page is http://www.nspca.co.za/ Page/30522/Ships-of-Shame.

Each “signature” sends a personalised e-mail message to the representatives in authority.

On Saturday, 27 July, the debate team of Eric Louw High School in Musina took part in a district debate competition at the Vhembe District Council Chambers in Thohoyandou. Ten schools participated, with 49 learners taking part in three rounds. After the second round, 10 top learners were selected. Sakhile Sibanda, Kuldeep Jadeja and Diney Fielding of Eric Louw were among the top 10 participants. In the third and last round, five learners were selected to go through to the provincial competition, with Kuldeep being one of them. Pictured from left to right are Mrs R Fourie (head of culture), Diney, Kuldeep, Sakhile and Mrs C Mostert (principal). Photo supplied.

“Information has been received that a ship is due to be loaded with cattle in August 2013, destined for Mauritius.

We call upon all compassionate people to make your voices heard. Our aim is to prevent the ship from docking and export permits from being signed,” says the NSPCA. The NSPCA openly states that criminal charges will be laid against any veterinarian, whether state-appointed or otherwise, who signs the export permits.

To further support the NSPCA in its initiative, send an SMS to 38018 with the words ‘STOP SHIPS’. Each SMS is charged at R10.

Legendary musician finally releases his first full album It took a legendary Tshivenda musician 55 years before he could finally release a fulllength album of his own, to which he could claim copyright.

April Samuel Ramufhi (72) is one of many artists who, many years ago, recorded one or two tracks with the old Radio Venda in Polokwane for airplay. The problem with the whole process was that an artist was merely given a single copy of the single or two tracks to play for family and friends. “I couldn’t even earn money from my work,” recalls Ramufhi. He says that he recorded about 35 songs through the decades at Radio Venda. His contemporaries were Solomon Mposa and Albert Mundalamo.

“The positive side of things is that, even today, the now Phala Phala FM still plays the Vho-April Samuel Ramufhi is a happy man golden songs which we created after releasing his first album at the age of 72. many years ago,” he says. Ra-

mufhi’s first album, Tshanda tshi a levha, which came out a fortnight ago, comprises 13 songs. Eight songs are remakes of his old, classical songs such as Bombompani, Nyamuladelo and Kondelelani, while the other five tracks are completely new.

The project was done at Balcan Sikhwari’s Ballitainment Media at Ha-Ravele village. Here, at the studio, is the place where young Ishmael ‘new Breed’ Rammbwa worked tirelessly with Ramufhi.

“Vho-Ramufhi is already a legend and anyone who decides to produce his work should know that they are treading in a shallow area,” said new Breed. “You must provide the sounds which will match his quality voice or else you may end up compromising such a great talent.” Ramufhi is happy about his new project and adds that Ballitainment Media has resurrected his once-dead hope

of seeing himself holding a fulllength album during his lifetime.

“My music encourages people to work hard,” he says.

Tshanda tshi a levha is continuing to receive massive response from the people who have known Ramufhi’s music for all these years but had no idea where to find his music, apart from listening to radio stations. “Vho-April Ramufhi’s music is a must-have and I cannot wait to get his new album,” said Gladys Mulaudzi (51) in the streets of Makhado.

Ramufhi lives at Muraleni village in the Sinthumule area.

When he is not busy feeding his pig and three piglets, he normally walks the streets of Makhado town, strumming his guitar.

Tshanda tshi a levha is available from selected music stores, but those who find it difficult to access his music can call 071 193 4129 or 072 853 0317.

Debut album for Patience Ntuli Afro-gospel artist Patience Ntuli from Malamulele is receiving a lot of attention with her debut album, Khanimamba.

Although she is new to the industry, Patience makes music that soothes the soul, is easy to dance to and aims to introduce people to Christ, by offering messages of hope. She writes and composes her own music.

Patience started singing in church in 1988 and continued singing at university. Her love for music did not stand in the way of her studies.

She completed a B Com in cost accounting, a university education diploma, an honours degree in cost accounting, a masters in business administration and a higher diploma in cost and management accounting.

She grew up listening to famous musicians likes Rebecca Malope and Joyous Celebration, and she said she drew inspiration from them.

“Recording the album was not easy,” said Ntuli. Despite having plenty of songs readily available, she had to fund the project herself. In order to enhance her writing and composition skills, she took piano lessons. She composes songs in Xitsonga, Tshivenda and Sepedi, and the 19-track album includes different styles, including reggae, Nigerian and kwasa-kwasa rhythms.

She is a devoted Christian, who ministers at Word of Life Bible Church. She is also a worship team leader.

The local police issued a certificate of appreciation to Mr Amie Chhaya for his participation in the fight against crime. The certificate came in response to his donation of maize meal during the SAPS crime awareness campaign recently held in Tshikota.The certificate was also backed up by an official letter of appreciation from the local community policing board.

Several computers stolen at school Thugs broke into Khogonyane Primary School and stole computers last Thursday.

After shutting down the school for three months, while demanding proper classrooms, the schools resumed their classes on 15 July. This came after the Department of Education had delivered 10 mobile classes. The academic programme was disrupted because the pupils had also abandoned writing their mid-year examinations.

Within ten days after the school had resumed classes, thieves stole the computers.

The chairperson of the school governing body, Mr Tshimnagdzo Kutama, said the school belonged to the community and they must respect their property because vandalizing and stealing at the school would hinder progress in the Kutama area.

“We need our children to enjoy education in good classroom conditions,” Kutama added.

Apart from the computers, the thieves also stole other electrical appliances.

He became a freelance journalist for the BBC World Service in Transvaal. After the unbanning of political organisations in South Africa, he was given a scholarship by the ANC to study journalism in America in 1991. He studied at Jackson State University in Mississippi and came back in 1993.

The same year, he joined the BBC World Service in London as a jour-

nalist and producer. He worked in East and West Africa. He covered stories from the great lakes in 1994 in Rwanda and Burundi, Uganda and Ethiopia.

In 1995, he joined the political desk of the SABC in Cape Town.

He covered mainly President Nelson Mandela’s activities and travelled the world with him.

During that time, he visited Botswana, Lesotho, Germany, Mozambique, Angola, the USA, Cuba and several other countries.

In 1988, he was appointed as spokesperson for Adv Ngoako Ramatlhodi, the Premier of Limpopo. He left in 2000 and joined the SABS as its first black spokesperson. In 2004, he

came back and joined the Limpopo Legislature as its spokesperson. In 2010, he became the spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture.

The nurses at Tshiungani clinic and some clinics around the Ha-Rammbuda Tribal Authority in Mutale were urged to treat patients suffering from mental illness with dignity and with the utmost care, despite the challenges of shortages of medication and staff.

“We want nurses to assist mentally ill patients, so that they may be cured and go back to their communities. Hospitals or clinics are not home, and we urge communities to incorporate mentally ill patients back into the communities when they are cured,” said Dr Rachael Mapon-

ya, senior manager dealing with mental illness in the Department of Health and Social Development.

She was speaking at the clinic outside Mutale during the Rammbuda Mental Illness Day. The day is the brainchild of Thovhele Azwihangwisi Rammbuda. It is his wish that residents of the area should be aware of their health status and treat people suffering from mental illness with dignity and care.

Thovhele Azwihangwisi Rammbuda said communities who live with mentally ill people must care for them as they are also human beings. “We

found that, in the past, mentally ill patients were locked away and tied up inside houses while other people were enjoying themselves outside." A mentally ill patient who receives his medication at the Tshiungani Clinic, Mr Oscar Magedane, urged the government to give clinics medication in time and also to build a place where they can learn skills while receiving medication.

Magedane has just completed a novel, which he want to be published and read in schools.

The novel is called Pfunzo ndi mapfura na lebula, which means education is the key to success.

declares war against crime Mpembe honours Makhado SAPS cluster Mhingaville The newly elected chairperson “Sanco in the communities “We don’t want Sanco to fight The provincial commissioner of police, Gen Simon Mpembe, honoured police officers serving within the Makhado SAPS cluster during an event that was held at the Makhado Correctional Centre a fortnight ago.

This comes after the Makhado cluster has demonstrated “tireless dedication towards the department” through exceptional arrests and breakthroughs in some hard cases, said Gen Mpembe.

“I am affixing my signature on all these certificates for your outstanding service and you must know by now that my signature is expensive,” said Mpembe.

“I don't just sign anything; I am in fact reminding you of the vision of the SAPS: It is to ensure safety and security within

society.”

He further told the police that they should always consider all criminals as enemies of society.

“You must eliminate criminals out of the community and place them in custody,” he ordered.

In honouring the Makhado SAPS cluster, which encompasses police stations such as Mphephu, Mara, Tshitale, Waterval, Tshilwavhusiku, Levubu and Waterpoort, Mpembe said it was very painful and uninspiring to work under a commander who showed neither appreciation nor acknowledgment for the work of a dedicated and hardworking official.

He then made an honorary mention of the three police officials from the Tshilwavhusiku police station for their breakthrough in arresting four suspects who were terrorising the

Vhembe district by stealing plasma television sets and ferrying these to Zimbabwe. Two of the officials are D/Const Lawrence Manngo and D/Const Nkhangweni Mulaudzi.

“The journey has begun. I urge you to continue glorifying God by creating a crime-free country. Never let your good work be spoilt by corruption.

Never accept bribes from criminals. You have already started changing the face of Limpopo for the better,” he said.

Shortly before the event of the day, the commissioner paid a surprise visit to the Waterval police station to monitor the officials' daily activities. “They have got the challenge of a lack of vehicles, just like the Makhado police station,” he said and promised to look into the problem.

of the South African Civic Organisation (Sanco) in Mhin­ g­aville said delivering better services to his communities would be his top priority.

Mr Lino Simango received an overwhelming victory against Mr Abel Chauke during the election and launching of the Mhingaville Sanco at the headman’s kraal on Saturday.

More than 130 community members from Mhingaville joined the organisation on Saturday, after attending a workshop about the work of the organisation and how to be responsible citizens.

The regional chairperson of Sanco in Vhembe, Ms Magdaline Netshiavha, described a good working relationship between the newly elected committee, the traditional leader and the councillor as the most important factor in delivering better services to the communities.

with councillors and traditional leaders."

Headman Benneth Jambatani welcomed the new committee and said it would help to root out the high crime rate. “We hope that Mhingaville will be a free-crime zone and even visitors must feel free to visit.”

The new Mhingaville Sanco branch committee members are: Mr Lino Simango (chairperson), Mr Abel Chauke (deputy chairperson), Mr Vincent Chauke (secretary), Ms Florence Chauke (deputy secretary), Ms Holland Mita (treasurer) and Mr John Chauke (organising secretary).

Maniini residents owe municipality R8m Residents of R and K Section in Maniini outside Thohoyandou who owe the Thulamela municipality more than R8 million through debts incurred over the years for sites, are optimistic that the dialogue they are having with the municipality could come out in their favour.

Residents have been in consultation with the municipality since last month as a way to find a lasting solution how the matter could best be resolved.

The residents, who had been waiting with anticipation, were disappointed when officials from the municipality postponed a report-back meeting scheduled to have taken place a fortnight ago.

Last week, during a meeting held on Sunday at the village, Thulamela Chief Whip Cllr

Wilson Mutoti, who was accompanied by the ward councillor, Cllr Maria Ramanala, and Mr Maluleke, the manager of planning, addressed residents who had waited for them the previous weekend.

During the meeting, Mutoti told them that the matter was receiving urgent attention with the relevant structures of the municipality.

"As we promised when we left during the previous meeting, we are still seeking ways on how we could best resolve this matter. This would need maximum cooperation between us as municipality and you the residents.

We are all agreed that we have a mountain to climb ahead of us and we need to work together to solve this," said Mutoti.

Mr Hlengani Maluleke, senior manager planning and development at Thulamela, said many communities in Thulamela were facing the same predicament.

The local civic leader, Mr Londani Makhuvha, said residents were happy about the progress that had been made so far. "There is light at the end of the tunnel.

We are very happy about the working relationship we have established with the municipality, which gives us hope that an amicable solution will be reached between us and the municipality.

We just hope that this matter will be resolved soon and put to rest forever.

People are waiting with anticipation and we hope the best will come out of these meetings," he said.

Hard-earned victory for Tshakhuma RO United In their losers’ final match in the Amos Charity Shield Soccer Tournament at the University of Venda Stadium on Sunday, Tshakhuma RO United beat Univen FC 7-6 to finish in the third place of the competition.

The absence of the Muthubi twin brothers, Ipfi and Asivhanzhi, in the United midfield was evident from the onset. The two watched the game from the grandstand, as they were still nursing the injuries they had sustained the previous day. Their absence did not stop United from playing united as a team.

Univen threatened to score in the 14th minute, but Mashudu Radzilani lost

possession inside the box. The visitors from Tshakhuma were the first to blow the trumpet.

A breakdown in communication between the keeper of Univen and his defenders gave rise to the United goal in the 29th minute. Takalani Ratshilivha intercepted a back pass before sending the keeper the wrong way.

United fortified their defence by replacing Avhakholwi Mudau, who gave way to Khathutshelo Mukomafhedzi early in the last half. Univen introduced Bright Mayimela and Sheriff Mudalahothe for Mashudu Radzilani and Phathutshedzo Govheli respectively.

Univen found the equaliser in the 74th minute.

Desmond Simelane was on target, following a neat pass by Ofhani Nelukalo.

United played defensive football in the last 15 minutes of the game. Realizing that the game would reach the penalty shootout stage, United replaced their keeper, Ntakadzeni Shirinda, with Khuthadzo Mukomafhedzi.

The winner was determined through a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 full time score. Mukomafhedzi made his presence felt when he saved Ali Themeli’s penalty.

United converted six chances while Univen missed one.

Gogobole Home Defenders hammer Peace Makers Gogobole Home Defenders gave Maebane Peace Makers a Sunday to remember, when they hammered them 4-0 in their Limpopo Dairy match at the Gogobole grounds on Sunday.

Defenders meant business from the start of the match. Milingoni Tshimuka of Makers was yellow-carded when the match was five minutes old. He pushed Joshua Mulaudzi and was reprimanded by the referee.

The boys from Kutama did not give up without a fight, despite the setback. Tshimomo Mbambo beat all the defenders and the goalkeeper and finally scored easily in the 10th minute. Phathutshedzo Mashau of Defenders was booked for a late tackle on Peter Sinugo in the 34th minute.

Defenders found the second goal four minutes later. Brighton Phuravhathu made no mistake after receiving a neat pass from Tshilidzi

Mphidi within the box and beat the offside trap to score. The halftime score was 2-0 in favour of Defenders.

The home team introduced Vusani Lithole for Joshua Mulaudzi in the 54th minute. Makers’ reliable midfield kingpin, Lucky Mashavha, received the ball at the edge of his own half and tried to pass it back to the keeper, but it was intercepted by Lutendo Phadziri.

Thabo Mudau scored his team’s third goal in the 76th minute. After the goal, Makers regrouped and started to dictate terms. Makers raided the Defenders’ danger area continuously, but Lady Luck was not on their side. Their undoing was trying to walk the ball into the net, while the Defenders’ defence was solid.

The last goal of the match and fourth goal for Defenders was scored

by Charles Phadziri from a free-kick to make the final score 4-0.

Muraleni Young Rebellion drop vital points Madombidzha Try Again used their home ground advantage to good effect when they beat Muraleni Young Rebellion 1-0 in the Limpopo Dairy match played at Madombidzha on Saturday.

Try Again’s goal came when Maanda Maladzha caught the visitors’ defence off guard after receiving a good pass from

fellow striker Andani Mulaudzi.

Though Rebellions had the lion’s share in both halves in as far as ball possession was concerned, they lacked a clear-cut final pass that could have helped them gain full points. Try Again could have gone 3-0 up before half time, but their strikers let them down.

Early in the second half, Rebellions introduced Silas Muhovhekani for Nndwa Matshavha. Try Again responded by replacing Adivhaho Tshiremba for Dakalo Ramuthivheli. Their introduction did not change the complection of the match, as the visiting team kept on running for cover.

Baroka FC are the national champs Although Dynamos have been relegated to the Safa second division after finishing their National First Division League programme at the bottom of the log last season, Limpopo Province will still have two teams in the NFD. This follows the promotion of the Sekhukhune-based side, Baroka FC. Baroka represented the province in the Safa second division national promotional play-offs which were staged at the Makhulong Stadium in Johannesburg last week.

Baroka were in Group A, together with Umthatha Bucks, Mbombela United FC, Cape Town All Stars and Young Stars. Unlike in the past two seasons, where Baroka represented the province in the same event and came back with empty hands, this time around their performance was by far above average.

Their opening match was against Umthatha Bucks, whom they crushed 4-0. Mbombela United FC were the second victim and they were brutally walloped 4-1. The team which gave Baroka the toughest match was Cape Town All Stars. Baroka narrowly beat them 1-0. Young Stars were the last on the hit list and they, too, could not escape a beating. They lost 1-3 and thus made Baroka the Group A champions with 12 points.

Maluti FET College finished on top of Group B. The champions from their respective groups gain promotion to the National First Division. Baroka played against Maluti FET College on Sunday afternoon to determine the overall champions and Baroka emerged victorious 2-1. The coach of Baroka, Mr Sello Chokoe, was the winner of the coach of the tournament award. The team’s goalkeeper, Veli Mothwa, took home the best goalkeeper award, while player of the tournament and top goal scorer awards went to Khunadi Nkoana, also from Baroka. Nkoana scored six goals in the tournament.

Several teams promoted to SAB league

Mr Mulalo Mafenya.

The Safa Vhembe Regional association confirmed the names of the clubs which had been promoted from the local football associations to the SAB League this week.

According to the tournament officer of the association, Mr Mulalo Mafenya, only one team from Musina Local Football Association, Pine Stars FC, will be campaigning in the SAB League when the activities for the new season start. Eight teams, viz.

Tshaulu Ghetto Boys, Matsika Shooting Stars, Phaphazela Bayern Munich, Marula XI FC, Vhufuli Pull Together, Musasenda Big V, Thenzheni Liverpool and Tswinga Peace Makers, were

promoted from the Thulamela Local Football Association.

The four teams from Mutale Local Football Association are: Maheni Devoted Vultures, Niani All Stars, Mbodi The Love Birds and Dzhanguluvhe FC. Makhado Local Football Association was still to submit the names of the clubs who had made the grade to the SAB League at the time of going to press.

The promoted clubs will be replacing those which were relegated to the lower division at the end of last season. Mr Mafenya confirmed the relegated clubs as Altein Reformed Squad (Stream A), Thembaluvhilo Seven Stars and Mudaswali United

Brothers (Stream B), Maha Flying Gunners and Table New Comers (Stream C), Tswinga New Generations, Tshedza FC and Tshisaulu FC (Stream D), Vleifontein United (Stream E), Vyeboom FC, Masakona United, Lambani Giant Killers, Donkerhoek New Castle and Bokisi Happy Boys (Stream F), Vhulaudzi United Brothers and FJ Napoli (Stream G), Folovhodwe Stone Breakers, Dambale Manchester United (Stream H), Konanani FC Mianzwi Green Hornet and Matangari Settlers (Stream I). Mafenya indicated that the kick-off date for the activities for the new season will be announced next week.

Musangwe action during local show In a first for the Makhado Annual Show, a Musangwe (traditional boxing) tournament will be held on Saturday (tommorow).

“Musangwe is underway as I’m speaking and we have fighters like Thuso ‘Ngwazi’ Ramukakati, Khodani Munyai, Lawrence ‘Wrong ten’ Randima, Mpho ‘Bloody’ Nekwakwani and many more who will show their skills,” said the Musangwe boss, Mr Patrick Ramarada.

He said that they decided to stage a tournament at the show, after realizing that people were thirsty for more action. "This is our indigenous traditional sport which we must preserve."

He said that no person suffering from HIV would be allowed to fight. The fear of spreading the disease recently prompted the organisers of the tournament to stop fights at the sight of serious open wounds. He added that participants are allowed to head-butt or knee opponents. "If you are weak, you will eventually regain consciousness in the back of an ambulance," he added.

KK too good for Takers Maweja Takers could not absorb the pressure from Tshakhuma KK Revolution, who beat them 3-1 in the final of the Amos Charity Shield Soccer Tournament at the University of Venda Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The referee, Mr Calvin Nemavhola, reprimanded Khuliso Netshulu of Maweja Takers with a card when the game was only nine minutes old. Netshulu’s offence was protesting against the referee’s decision. It took Revolution 24 minutes to stamp their authority on the game. They were awarded a free kick just outside the box after Lesley Lesley Khomola of Revolution (front) prevents Mukandangalwo Khomola was Ramunana of Takers from reaching the ball. brought down

by Mashudu Makhari. Alu-

wani Madzunya beat the keeper from the set piece with a volley.

Maweja Takers tried every trick in the book in their desperate search for the equaliser, but Revolution maintained their 1-0 lead until the end of the first half.

Realizing that Takers were strong in the midfield, Revolution abandoned their positions for a while and packed themselves at the far back and relied on counter-attacks. The strategy worked for them as they increased the margin in the 57th minute.

Masala Tsanwani beat the offside

trap and ran straight to the stranded keeper before unleashing a ground cutter. The Takers’ technical staff blamed the first assistant referee, Mr Eric Munyai, for the second goal of Revolution.

They argued that it was scored from an offside position.

Takers reduced one in the 74th minute. They were awarded a free kick at the edge of the box. Rofhiwa Ganyane, who came on as a substitute, scored from the place kick.

Masala Tsanwani of Revolution was cautioned for obstruction a little later. Itani Nange scored the third for Revolution four minutes before the final whistle.
