Vuwani calm again... for now

No way to Vuwani town as the bridge next to the fire station was barricaded.

Premier Stan Mathabatha addresses angry residents at the local grounds on Tuesday.

By Elmon Tshikhudo After a week of ugly and violent protests, the communities of Vuwani, which were completely shut down, returned to normality on Tuesday when stakeholders decided to suspend their protests and wait for a decision from the municipal demarcation board.

A visit by Premier Stan Mathabatha, who addressed thousands of residents at the local sports field, was enough to quell the situation in the area.

The premier had met leaders at Ha-Mat-

sila the previous day. He succumbed to pressure from the community, who had vowed that everything would stop in the area until he came down and spoke to them. Many believe that he arrived late because he was still waiting for the court to release one of the Pro-Makhado Demarcation Task Team members, Avhapfani Mudau, who appeared in the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court on public-violence charges.

The community had earlier threatened to continue with the protests and not to listen to Mathabatha if their leader was not

released. Mudau was released on bail of R1 000 and arrived at the sports grounds to a hero’s welcome by the thousands of cheering residents who had waited for him. He was accompanied by Thovhele Nthumeni Masia.

Accompanied by Makhado Mayor David Mutavhatsindi, Vhembe Executive Mayor Tshitereke Matibe and other government officials, Mathabatha did not take more than 20 minutes to calm down the angry community members who had gathered to hear the “good news” from him.

Peace prevails once more in Vuwani (From page 1) He did not, however, mince his words when he told the crowd that they had indeed received memorandums from the community and that it was not in their competence as a provincial government to take such a decision.

“I do not want to pretend that I have answers to your problems, but we forwarded the memorandums to the municipal demarcation board, which will make a determination in 30 days. I appeal to the people of Vuwani to remain calm and wait for the demarcation board to make a pronouncement. As of now, there is no new municipality yet,” he said to wild applause by the happy community members.

After the premier’s response, residents’ leader Arnold Mulaudzi proposed that the shutdown be lifted to give the demarcation board time to make its decision. “Whether it be positive or negative, we will come back and meet in 30 days’ time and we will take it from there.”

He warned the police not to arouse the anger of the people by arresting their leaders. “The people of Malamulele burnt schools and shopping complexes, but no one was arrested. Here you are practising double standards by intimidating leaders by arresting them,” he added.

The suspension of the strike

came as a huge relief to the business community, who had lost a lot during the protests.

Some opened their businesses immediately afterwards, while others felt insecure even after the announcement. By the close of business, taxis were seen ferrying people who, for the past days, had to walk long distances to Thohoyandou to buy groceries as no shops were operating in the area. Chief Livhuwani Matsila, one of the most influential chiefs in the Vuwani area, commended the premier for having listened to the people. “We are humbled that he respected the call by the people to come over and address us. We are happy that he clarified the notion that there is no new municipality yet and that we have to wait for the the municipal demarcation board to make a ruling. The violent protests were sparked by a proposed merging of some parts of the Vuwani area with a proposed new municipality that would form part of Malamulele,” he said.

Residents in the area had made it clear that they wanted nothing to do with the proposed municipality but wanted to remain under Makhado Municipality. Just a day after the closing of the window for objections and submissions to the Municipal Demarcation Board, protesting residents in the Vuwani area went on the rampage

last Friday, barricading roads with heavy drainage pipes, burning tyres and big rocks. A police vehicle and two private vehicles were burnt, while four other vehicles were damaged over the weekend.

There was rampant looting at local businesses and thousands of rands’ worth of stock were stolen.

Early on Wednesday, commuters were seen boarding buses to their respective work places. School children in their uniforms were seen travelling to their different schools in the area.

Limpopo police spokesperson Col Ronel Otto said the situation was quiet and that everything was back to normal. She hinted that motorists should be careful of barricades as there were still rocks on some of the roads. “The police are keeping an eye on the situation and will maintain our presence until we are sure all is in order,” she said.

Otto further said a suspect, Avhapfani Mudau (42), had been arrested in connection with public violence, malicious damage to property and contravention of the Gathering Act in the Vuwani area. She said a second suspect was being sought by the police. “The suspect appeared in the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court and was granted bail. He was warned to appear in court on 20 October,” she said.

“Women must use all their opportunities” Female farmers were encouraged to take agricultural farming seriously to help fight poverty and unemployment hampering rural communities.

“It is time to get up and do things for yourself, so that we can defeat poverty and unemployment and help create jobs for jobless people. I want to encourage our rural women to actively participate in agricultural farming to better their lives,” said the overall winner of the Vhembe Female Entrepreneur Award, Ms Annikie Malukuta.

Malukuta said nowadays

emerging farmers had no reason not to start up farming, as the government was assisting farmers with seedlings and tractors.

She was speaking last Thursday during the Vhembe Female Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, which was held at the Thohoyandou Indoor Sports Centre.

Malukuta won R5 000-00.

She grows tomatoes, butternuts and green beans, among others, on her Feskraal I Unit 84 at the Nwanedi farms. She will represent the Vhembe Female Entrepreneurs during the provincial competition, scheduled to be

held on 20 August in Polokwane.

Acting Vhembe Executive Mayor Rodgers Tshivhase said the district was humbled to be associated with the progressive department of agriculture in its efforts to fight poverty and encourage women to take centre stage in the economic development of Vhembe district. “Vhembe District Municipality has a number of programmes aimed at helping and uplifting emerging farmers and other enterprises.

I urge women in our district to take full advantage of all these opportunities.”

Baby dumped in dustbin after birth

The police in Thohoyandou are appealing to the community to come forward with information that can lead to the arrest of the mother who gave birth and dumped her baby in a waste material dust bin opposite the police headquarters in Sibasa about two weeks ago.

Police spokesperson Constable Avhafarei Tshiovhe said they had opened the case of concealment of birth and they were still looking for the woman. She added that the baby boy was found dead, dumped in a waste material dustbin of the Thulamela local municipality. “We are appealing

to community members to give us information that can lead to the arrest of the woman. We strongly condemn such incidents and we advise women to consult social workers and religious leaders to help those who are experiencing marital problems,” added Tshiovhe.

The memorandum mainly concerns the request for the referral or transfer of the Valdezia land to local residents.

The land, which consists mostly of small farms, is the property of the church and was acquired by the Swiss missionaries in the 1870s. Since early 2002, some residents, led by Masuka, had been trying hard to claim ownership of the land.

In the memorandum, the “Valdezia community” demand the land back, and that, says the memorandum, can only be achieved through the church’s selling of the land to the government, who will then give it to residents. They also demand that the church stop taking away buildings belonging to the community, and that the church stop deciding issues that affect the residents without involving them. Another concern is that the bluegum trees, which are seemingly everywhere in Valdezia, are using the underground water.

“Why is the EPCSA taking away buildings

belonging to the community – such as the clinic, community authority offices and Matimu Training Centre?” said Masuka. “The above-mentioned buildings were built or renovated with government funds.” He added that it was not fair for the church to take control of all those buildings.

Masuka believes that the previous church leaders, the late Rev “Ngove and Rev Mobbie” had unfortunately passed on while trying to find the best possible ways to solve the church and residents’ differences.

The “Valdezia community” believes that, if the land is given to residents, the very residents will start farming projects and create employment for hundreds of them. “The community will have proper land-use management,” the memorandum says.

The last line in the memorandum reads: “Failure to respond positively to our demands within 14 days, expect a rolling mass action in the form of petitions to your church by the residents of Valdezia.”

The residents of Valdezia, near Elim, led by service delivery convener Sipho Masuka, handed a memorandum of concerns to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of South Africa on Sunday.

The community considered this march to be successful because the the EPCSA’s representative, Rev CB Mahlaule, accepted the memorandum.

The church leadership had initially refused to receive the very memorandum in an earlier march a fortnight ago, because the march organisers had not communicated with them beforehand. Even though the church had accepted the memorandum, the general secretary, Rev Daniel Sombhane, said that he could not give any substantial comment at this stage.

“We are based in Midrand and we delegated a representative in Valdezia to receive the memorandum,” he said. “We may only comment after we had studied the contents of such a memorandum.”

Public must support and love the mentally challenged Hundreds of people attended a ceremony to acknowledge mental-illness awareness month at Mashamba and Tshixwadza a fortnight ago.

The event was sponsored by Masana and Skills Development, Fun Lover Coaches and Phadziri Bus Services.

According to Mr Left Mambirimisa of Phadziri, the company was there to support the event and “give something back to the community.” He explained

that they had a social responsibility and would like to empower the community with important skills.

Limpopo’s MEC for Health, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, said that the campaign on mental illness sent a powerful message to counter the all-too-often-held perception that mental illnesses were a secondary health concern that could be delayed until more immediate and pressing health care issues had been addressed. She called for

communities to accept, support and love mentally ill patients.

Ramathuba said the community should change its attitude towards mental health patients, because some of their bad actions were committed unwittingly. She added that the good news about most mental illnesses was that recovery was possible.

R1bn Thavhani Mall for Thohoyandou A sod-turning ceremony to mark the official start of construction on the new R1 billion Thavhani Mall took place in Thohoyandou a fortnight ago. It is expected that the new development will create about 1 500 permanent jobs.

The acting premier and MEC for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, Mr Jerry Ndou, local political heavyweights and senior traditional leaders attended the event in the Thohoyandou Library and then moved outside the building for the ceremonial sod turning and photograph event.

The mall’s owners and developmers, Thavhani Property Investments, will construct the 50 000m² regional shopping centre.

“Thavhani Mall will be the anchor and catalyst development within a new, bigger commercial development node on a 27 hectare site in Thulamela, dubbed Thavhani City. This is a key mega-development as part of the Thulamela municipality’s vision of securing city status by 2030,” said MEC Ndou.

He added that the government’s role was to create an environment for proper infrastructure, so

that businesspeople would be able to invest. “This initiative will also help to uplift our communities,” added Ndou.

Local businessman Chief Jeffrey Ramovha of Thavhani Property Investments first had a vision for a regional mall in the area six years ago. He later roped in pre-eminent South African shopping centre developers and investors Flanagan& Gerard Property Development and Investment to help turn his vision into a reality.

Mr Patrick Flanagan, executive director of Flanagan & Gerard Property Development and Investment, a shareholder in Thavhani Property Investment, said Thavhani Mall was a major investment in the area and would be the largest shopping centre in Thohoyandou as well as the greater Thulamela municipality. “We are proud to be part of making this exciting mall development a reality. The people of Thulamela and surrounding areas can look forward to a great shopping and leisure destination in Thavhani Mall, with more than 106 retail stores, restaurants and service outlets part of its offering,” he said.

Happy pupils show off the new tables during the handing-over ceremony held at the school. Also in the picture are the principal of the school, Mr Tshililo Alidzuli (standing left in the front row), Ngululu officials, the circuit manager and deputy school principal of the school.

The donation came about after Dengenya’s principal, Mr Tshililo Alidzulwi, requested Luvhani to assist the pupils.

“I know how to walk to school without shoes and uniform. I also know how to attend classes during trying weather, but none of these stumbling blocks distracted me from reaching my life goals.”

He added that he did his degrees part-time, because he could not afford to go to university immediately after Grade 12, but he did not give up. He urged the pupils to focus on their studies and not to engage in sex, as it might impede their chances of making it in life.

I find it hard to describe what we found ... a “restaurant” which can only be described as the epitome of bad taste. All bling in black, brass and silver, and - God help us - a bath in the corner; yes – a bath, in the restaurant, with its own TV screen (to show what, you may well ask).

Waitresses dressed like not-so-high-class “escorts” and a menu that defies belief, although I doubt the majority of items are actually available. To crown it all, half a Mercedes Benz sticking out of a wall, again with a TV screen for the “driver”!

The hamburgers were delicious - hats off to the chef - but clearly there’s nowhere near enough daytime traffic to keep the business afloat, so one can only assume a roaring evening trade ... but in what?

Even the bill was presented in a black and silver velvet and sequinned mini “chaise longue”.

My guests found it highly amusing, but were laughing at us and not with us, taking photos to show their friends back home.

Is this what the Limpopo Tourism Board wants our province to be known for? A cheap-‘n-nasty “welcome” to tourists, demeaning the wealth of cultural, artistic and environmental attractions that we have to offer?

Shame on you all! Move it to town, for goodness sake, away from the stunned and disbelieving eyes of our visitors. One very embarrassed tourist guide, Vhembe

Honour for founder of Tshasululo Ministries “It was in 2008 when one of our church members told me that she was going to graduate.

I congratulated her and told her that I would also graduate one day.”

These were the words of Thizwilondi Norah Magalela, the founder of Thasululo Ministries, after an honorary doctorate in philosophy was confered on her by the Interdenominational Theology Centre (ITC) at an event that was held at her church in Makonde village. Her husband, Father Ndivhuwo Magalela, was also awarded a master’s degree in philosophy by the same institution.

Founded in 1958, the Interde-

nominational Theological Center is a consortium of six predominantly African-American denominational Christian seminaries located in Atlanta, Georgia, operating together as a professional graduate school of theology. It has branches across the world, including South Africa. All have the mission to educate Christian leaders for ministry and service.

The ITC is a premier resource for church scholarship, theological study, research and training for the spiritual, moral and economic empowerment of communities. ITC’s chancellor in South Africa, Prof Daniel Macana, said his council had unanimously passed the motion of honouring

Magalela for her outstanding work in community development and spreading the word of God. To thousands of her followers, Magalela is a motherly figure who does not only take care of their spiritual needs. She also runs community development initiatives in her church yard, which include an orphanage, crèche and school.

When accepting the honour, Magalela said she did the work of God without expecting any reward. “This is just a bonus which will encourage me to work hard in spreading the word of God. I’m really pleased to be honoured in this fashion before this congregation.”

Musina traditional leaders launch forum As part of strengthening relationships with stakeholders, the Mayor of Musina, Cllr Mihloti Ramoyada, had a meeting with traditional leaders whose villages fall under Musina Municipality last week.

The meeting took place at Malale Community Hall. The Traditional Leaders Forum was also launched during the meeting. This forum is a collaborative platform through which the municipality and traditional leaders can communicate to address important issues relating to service delivery.

Traditional leaders who were present during the launch of the forum were Alpheus Nemalale and Wilson Nemalale from Malale Village, Solomon Nduvheni of the Rambuda royal council, Daniel Netanda of Tanda, Petrus Munyai from Tshikhudini and Ndwamato Shandukani from Domboni Village. While launching the forum, Ramoyada said traditional leaders had an important role to play in assisting the municipality to identify service delivery gaps. “It is vitally important for us to work hand in hand with

our traditional leaders, because they are aware of their people’s needs. We hope that this forum will not only afford our traditional leaders knowledge about our programmes, but that they will also share their views to help the municipality grow in many respects.”

She also highlighted that the forum is not only going to sit quarterly, but also that traditional leaders will be invited occasionally to council meetings where they will be afforded opportunities to air their views on issues that are important to their communities. “Our plan is to have our traditional leaders present during our council meetings. They have a better understanding of what people on the ground want us to prioritize.”

Ramoyada also said it was important to engage traditional leaders, because most of the developments were taking place on their land. “Even before the establishment of the municipalities, traditional leadership had been there for ages. We will continue to visit all the stakeholders within the municipal area to make sure that we consolidate our relationship, so

that we can pave the way for efficient service delivery through development communication.”

Ramoyada said the municipality aimed to address communication challenges by helping people to understand, negotiate and take part in decision making that affects their lives. “Communication is a key tool for development and social change, especially in a municipality with a high rate of unemployment such as ours.”

Chief Solomon Nduvheni said they were taking the meeting initiated by the mayor very seriously. “We welcome the idea of launching this forum. This means that the municipality will always keep us informed of what is happening. We appreciate that our mayor realized that she needs to work with us, so that our people receive better services from our government.

Taking into consideration that she has put aside everything to come and meet us here, we are happy to note that we are one of the important stakeholders on her calendar. We will continue to cooperate with the municipality on all issues in relation to service delivery.”

The traditional and manual way of inspecting vehicles for defects is now a thing of the past for Musina Municipality. As part of accelerating service delivery in the licensing unit, the Municipality has recently acquired a play detector at a cost of R100 000.

A play detector is designed to check most steering and suspension components quickly and efficiently. Without the help of a second person, it enables a technician to detect play and wear in the wheel-guiding and -steering parts of passenger cars, trucks and buses quickly.

According to the communications

manager of the Musina Municipality, Mr Wilson Dzebu, vehicle roadworthiness is one of the important requirements for the safety of all road users. He says the play detector will play a vital role to ensure that vehicles are reliable and roadworthy.

“The acquisition of the play detector will enable our technicians to conduct tests for roadworthiness with ease in our licensing unit. This will also provide many benefits to vehicle owners. A roadworthy vehicle saves fuel and money and also reduces long-term maintenance costs.

By making sure that our vehicles are roadworthy, the municipality reduces the risk of road users’ being killed or injured.

This will also reduce the number of accidents caused by vehicles that are not roadworthy on our roads. We have no doubt that this continuous initiative will make our pedestrians, motorists and passengers safer,” Dzebu said.

He says the fact that the number of vehicle owners keeps on increasing day by day makes the municipality more aggressive when dealing with matters of roadworthiness. “All people have a duty to ensure that their actions on our roads do not impact negatively on The representative of the Musina vehicle testing the lives of others.

Thambatshira A show producer and an anchor presenter at the SABC’s Phalaphala FM, Thambatshira Edward Ndadza, had a love for radio from an early age.

He also made sure that, while busy with his studies at the University of Venda, he found expression for his initial love for the radio by joining Univen FM community radio station.

He ascended the broadcasting ladder and found his niche at the national radio station, Phala Phala FM, where he produces and presents current affairs show Ndevhetsini.

“Radio was like a hobby as I grew up,” he said. “To me, radio is a platform from which I convey a direct message and news to people out there. I also encourage social cohesion, social responsibility and social development.”

He joined PhalaPhala FM as newsreader in January 2005. He soon moved to current affairs a year later.

Thamba, as he is affectionately known, was born and grew-up in Ha-Matsika village in Malavuwe.

He started his schooling

at Matsika Primary School and matriculated at Fhatuwani Secondary School. When he joined the SABC, he was a third-year LLB student at the University of Venda.

Thamba has been a daily presenter since joining the Ndevhetsini team about 10 years ago, the experience which undoubtedly contributed to building his skillful production work and command behind the microphone.

Besides his daily work of broadcasting the show live from the studio, he has been handling bigger live projects, including live outside broadcastings, general and local government elections, national parliamentary functions, such as the state of the nation address, and others, such as budget speeches.

“I like both formal and casual attire, depending on the occasion,” he said. “ Though I am a recording gospel artist, I listen to different types of music, from R&B, reggae and kwaito to African rumba and Afro-Soul.”

His voice, which is familiar to PhalaPhala FM’s listeners, brings the latest news and live interviews every morning, between 06:00-07:00 on weekdays.

“Send abusers of women to jail” - Mbeki Gruesome accident claims two lives Former President Thabo Mbeki has encouraged South African citizens to report any person who abuses women, so that they can be sent to jail.

In his address during a Symposium on gender mainstreaming and representation at the workplace, held in the auditorium of Univen on Monday afternoon, Mbeki said that the days where women were treated as less than men were over. “I remember that a person once said women must continue to love and care for their husbands, even when they are beaten or abused. If you hear a person saying such things, you must report him to the police, so that

they can lock him away,” said Mbeki.

Besides legislation that promotes the emancipation of women, Mbeki said South Africa and other countries were still failing to implementing them.

“Without the achievement of implementing this legislation, women will still face poverty, unemployment and inequality, even though they are in the majority. Our democracy must respond to the demands and concerns of women,” said Mbeki.

He added that women lost chances of promotion and salary increments because of family commitments and responsibil-

ities such as breastfeeding. He said that girls lagged behind in their studies because of the responsibilities of fetching firewood and water from the river, while boys could concentrating in their studies.

“Because of these challenges, we have fewer girls at primary schools, but that changes at tertiary levels as we started to see more girls than boys,” said Mbeki, while adding that the majority of boys dropped out of schools for different reasons.

He also mentioned that research found that the household income of female-headed families was smaller than those of the male-headed families.

On Saturday, 3 August, early morning users of the road between Shayandima industrial area and the traffic lights at Muledane had to use alternative roads to Thohoyandou and Tshakhuma as the road was closed for hours.

That was the result of an accident that involved three vehicles, two from the Thohoyandou side and one from the Tshakhuma side.

The area where the accident happened is notoriously known for fatal accidents and as many as 15 people are believed to have perished in accidents at this

stretch of road in recent years.

On Saturday morning, two people died at the scene and a driver of one of the cars was badly injured. The occupants of the two cars that collided headon are said to have been going to attend a funeral.

The deceased are Mr Gilbert Makondelele (56), principal of a school at Nzhelele who stays at Tshakhuma, and Ms Florah Mudau (53), who stays at the nearby Itsani village.

The scene where the accident happened resembled a war zone, with mangled and twisted metals.

A relative, who preferred ano-

nymity, said they were going to attend a funeral but used different cars to go there. “We passed the scene as we were in a hurry to attend a relative’s funeral. We saw the vehicles and one of the women then started crying, saying it looked like her husband’s car.

When we reached the funeral, we could not locate the man and when we called his phone, it was off. That was when we rushed to the scene to find him slumped in one of the cars.”

Thohoyandou police spokesperson Const Avhafarei Tshiovhe said they had opened a culpable homicide docket.

The body of one of those killed is loaded in a state mortuary vehicle at the scene of the accident.

Former President Thabo Mbeki receives a gift from the mayor of Thulamela, Cllr Grace Mahosi, and the Univen rector, Prof Peter Mbati.

How do you protect your biggest asset?

By Silas Nduvheni

Tshikundini bids farewell to principal Members of staff and pupils of Tshikundini Primary School bade farewell to their hardworking principal, Ms Phillis Netshivhuyu, during an event at the school last Friday.

The event was also attended by members of local communities, former pupils and teachers.

Netshivhuyu left the Department of Education after service of 43 years.

Ms Netshivhuyu (65) said when she had been appointed the principal of Tshikundini in 1993, she had found that there

was no infrastructure, only two classrooms with no toilets and the pupils used to relieve themselves in the bushes. There were only 64 pupils at that time and now she retired with a big enrolment of more than 670 learners.

“We approached the department of education, the Japanese embassy and some donors who helped to build us new classrooms. We are now a big school, with good infrastructure and an ablution block and a school garden.” She added that the teachers in the 70s were mostly unquali-

fied teachers, but they dedicated and committed themselves to quality teaching.

“They were not fighting for salary adjustments during that time, but they were fighting for the progress of the child and took teaching as a noble profession.

Now that I am retiring, I would like the teachers in Tshikhudini Primary to be united and committed to their school work. I will be happy if they can keep the standard that I left at the school and keep growing,” added Netshivhuyu.

As you are a working individual, your income is your biggest asset.

Archbishop pleads with youth to embrace education “This world, which God has given over to you to live in it, needs youths who are educated. It also needs youths who respect one another, and those who have the respect of the elders as well.”

Those were the words of the Archbishop Elias Miriri of the United African Apostolic Church (UAAC) during the youth conference at Mailaskop on Saturday.

“Mudzimu vho sika muthu munwe na munwe vhe na mushumo naye (God has created each one of us with a purpose),” Miriri said. “So, do not let the unfavourable situation of your family or home be an excuse for your failure in life. Let the Word of God be your light; let it guide

your path.”

The annual Mailaskop youth conference had attracted many people from around Vhembe district. The main aim of the conference is to create a space of motivation and encourage for the youths who are still at school.

The issues of HIV and Aids, substance abuse and teenage pregnancy were tackled during the conference.

The chairperson for the UAAC's Tshitale district youths, Vhaingameli Vho-Azwindini Khorombi, said that he was satisfied by the response the youths showed in the conference. “We hope speeches by different speakers will be

helpful to guide these youths in the right direction in life,” he said.

The conference organisers also invited some representatives from skills institutions. Ms Mudzunga Mathelemusa, a representative of the Sukuma Training Academy in Makhado, said that many youths were suffering because of a lack of information. “It is unimaginable that there are a lot of youths out there who still fail to access information relevant to their lives,” she said. “At Sukuma, we offer bursaries to deserving students. So we are vouching to give a computer skills bursary to two Grade 12 pupils who pass at the end of this year.”

Green Mambas through to top 4 of Mulindavhathu Challenge MT Green Mambas booked a place in the semifinal stage of the prestigious Mulindavhathu Soccer Challenge by beating Makonde Young Tigers 3-1 at the Khubvi Tshiseluselu grounds on Saturday.

Both sides played 70 minutes of the game with 10 men. This after Israel Mukununde of Green Mambas and Aluwani Munyai of Young Tigers were given their marching orders in

the 20th minute.

What started as a small argument between Mukununde and Munyai gave rise to a fistfight and the referee, Mr Chris Mugeri, did not hesitate to send them off.

It took Young Tigers 14 minutes to realize that it was not their day. Their centre forward, Moses Mutwanamba, forced his way through the defence of Mambas and shot wide with the keeper already beaten. The scoreboard was

still asking for numbers when the teams adjourned for half time.

Green Mambas were the first to blow the trumpet. Pfarelo Randima received a neat pass from Rofhiwa Nekhumbe and blasted in a rocket from the edge of the box. Lufuno Mulondo of Young Tigers was booked for a late tackle on Unarine Matodzi in the 54th minute.

The wheel of fortune turned against Young Tigers again in the 59th minute. Green Mambas increased the margin via Kholwani Nemanashi, who scored with a header after a corner kick that was taken by Zwivhuya Sikhwari.

Green Mambas did not stop fighting, despite the fact that their playmaker, Russel Munyai, was reprimanded with a card in the 67th minute.

He obstructed Aluwani Munyai just outside the penalty box. Green Mambas replaced Rofhiwa Nekhumbe with Itani Sikhipha two minutes later.

They put matters beyond doubt in the 74th minute when Unarine Matodzi hooked in a loose ball after a scramble within the box.

The Tigers’ solitary goal came via Oriel Mulovhedzi six minutes before the final whistle.

8-3 for Darkies Khubvi Dangerous Darkies gave Musasenda Big Five a day to remember when they brutally walloped them 8-3 in their Mulindavhathu Soccer Challenge match at the Khubvi Tshiseluselu grounds on Saturday.

Darkies made their intentions clear from the first whistle. Their captain, Avhatakali Tshivhase, capitalized on a clearing error and scored their opening goal within the first minute.

Big Five came back to the game moments later. A defend-

chance to score two quick goals via Avhashoni Makhoshi and Simon Nkhumeleni. Their fifth goal was registered in Tinyiko Manganye’s name. He headed home, following a corner kick that was taken by Avhatakali Tshivhase.

Big Five replaced Daniel Masimbane with Rabelani Mudau as a way to control the damage. That did not stop Darkies from scoring the sixth goal in the 39th minute.

Avhashoni Makhoshi was on target with a ground cutter, following a mix-up within the box.

The captain of Dar kies, Avhatakali Tshivhase, was booked for dangerous play two minutes before half Tel: (015) 516 5175/6/7 Fax: (015) 516 1012 time.

Collision Assist er of Darkies handled the ball within the box and the referee, Mr Calvin Nemavhola, awarded a penalty to Big Five. Nzumbululo Rambuda converted from the spot.

Big Five’s equalizer seemed to have been an insult to Darkies as they scored five more goals before the half-time whistle.

Azwifarwi Ramatsea was on target with a volley in the 11th minute. As if they were hypnotized, Big Five lost cohesion in the middle of the park.
