Co-accused confesses to murder

Trial date for Chavani

By Elmon Tshikhudo

Community members from Malamulele, who arrived in many taxis, sang and danced outside the Limpopo High Court in Thohoyandou on Tuesday. The crowd sang anti-Masingita songs while beating drums and toy-toying outside the court in support of Ms Hlulani Maswanganyi ‘s family.

This was during the appearance of former Malamulele traffic officer Masingita Chavani (47). She stands accused of kidnap and murder, following the disappearance of 17-year-old Hlulani Maswanganyi and her one-month-old

baby Timothy Mbavala. The incident took place in October 2015.

The baby was later found alive, but the mother has not been found since.

After many postponements, Chavani’s co-accused, Steven Sithole, confessed to the murder and was sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment by the High Court last week. He has since turned state witness.

The residents, who had hoped the trial would continue, were disappointed as the trial was postponed once more and is set to start on 14 August. A new judge will preside over Chavani’s case as the one who sentenced Sithole could not

Goodbye, coach?

By Frank Mavhungu The future of Mr Jean Losciuto as the head coach of Black Leopards is hanging in the balance.

According to the club’s spokesperson, Mr Berry Ramunenyiwa, the coach requested an urgent meeting with the chairman of the club, Mr David Thidiela, shortly after their promotional play-off game against Baroka FC at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Saturday. (See a match report on the main sports page).

Ramunenyiwa said that when Losciuto was questioned about his sudden request for an urgent meeting with the chairman, he told them that he was intending to resign as the team’s coach with immediate effect. According to Ramunenyiwa, the coach was advised to follow the correct channels as stipulated in his employment contract.

Outside court, family spokesman Wilson Mahlawule said he was disappointed but at the same hopeful that the postponement would give the accused time to think and tell the police where she had dumped the body.

“We are in severe pain, not knowing where our loved one is. We have accepted the fact that she is dead and we welcome the confession by Sithole. What we need is Hlulani’s body, so that we can give her a decent funeral and that her child will know where her grave is,” he said.

Ms Basani Msimeki, who represented the community, said they were very disappointed by the turn of events.

“We came here in numbers to show support to the family of Hlulani. We are also here to give a message to the judge not to give her bail and to give her a life sentence.”

According to Msimeki, the accused must be in prison “and not live with people. She is a danger to society.”

The whole drama started in 2015 when Chavani allegedly booked maternity leave at work.

What nobody knew was that she had allegedly faked the pregnancy. She had allegedly phoned the young Hlulani Maswanganyi (17), a relative with a month-old baby, and requested her to come to her home at Xikundu outside Malamulele. Nobody has seen Hlulani since then.

Young man found dead on the street

By Kaizer Nengovhela The lifeless body of a young man was found near the Vhafamadi High School in Mashau on Saturday morning.

Community members walking along the street made the gruesome discovery early in the morning. The man had gaping wounds to the head, suggesting that he might have been hit with sharp objects before he died. He was later identified as Tendani Sihongo (25) of Ha-Mashau Misevhe

section B. The mother of deceased, Ms Tshimagadzo Sihongo, said that she had heard that a male person was lying dead in the street, but she was not sure if it was her son. She immediately rushed to the scene.

“We found a large group of people standing around,” she said. When she could get close enough to see, she realised that it was her son. “If the people who did this wanted money, they should have taken such from him and left him alone. It’s painful; my son

wasn’t ill. Those responsible for my son’s killing will pay for it one of these days. God will answer me,” she said.

The spokesperson for the SAPS, Col Ngoatshe Ngoepe, confirmed the incident and asked community members who may know something to contact the police. “We have opened an inquest docket and we are waiting for the post mortem results,” he said.

Tendani will be buried tomorrow (Saturday) at Ha-Mashau Misevhe B. The service will start at 06:00.

Two new Chiefs installed

By Elmon Tshikhudo The Muligwe and Mahematshena communities, who have been without traditional leadership for years, had something to smile about at the weekend.

History was made when two chiefs under Lwamondo senior traditional leader Thovhele Ndaedzo Nelwamondo were installed in one ceremony.

Chief Ndalamo Muligwe (48) was installed as chief of Ha Muligwe. His ndumi is Mr Obed Muligwe, while Ms Nyawasedza Masia was made khadzi to the new chief. Muligwe succeeds his late father, Chief Freddy Muligwe, who passed on in 2003.

During the same ceremony, Ms Phophi Nyambeni (70) was installed as chief of Mahematsheni and was given a new royal name, Vhamusanda Vho Nthuseni. Her khadzi is Ms Tshinyadzo Ralineba Nelwamondo. Mr Norman Nelwamondo was made the ndumi. Chief Nthuseni Nyambeni succeeds her uncle, Chief Tshisikhawe Nelwamondo, who passed on many years ago.

Among the guests were traditional leaders such as Thovhele Thivhulawi Makumbane of Tshisahulu, many community members, friends and family members. The installation rites were performed by Chief Lutombo Tshisudzungwane, the chairperson of the Lwamondo

traditional council.

Tshisudzungwane urged the two chiefs to lead an exemplary life in order to earn the respect they deserve from their subjects.

“To be respected, be role models, listen to your subjects, treat them equally. Know that any bad thing you do will reflect negatively on Thovhele Nelwamondo, as you are his face here,” he said.

He told the youthful Chief Muligwe not to womanise, as that led to the downfall of strong men in Biblical times.

He added that, should he need to marry, he should not go to taverns to get a wife and that there were protocols to be followed the royal way.

The two newly installed chiefs and their assistants pose with other traditional leaders during the ceremony at Dzwerani.

While unemployment remains the country’s biggest problem, the youth from Thohoyandou and neighbouring townships have found ways to fight unemployment by helping shoppers carry their goods from the shops. With the money they get from shoppers, they are able to provide for their families.

Head coach Losciuto on the move?

By Frank Mavhungu (From page 1) Ramunenyiwa said that Losciuto should have brought his request in writing. When asked whether they were ready release him if he brought the request in black and white, Ramunenyiwa said that they would decide on the matter upon receipt of the resignation letter from the Belgian mentor.

Ramunenyiwa further stated that keeping Losciuto as the team’s coach after receiving his resignation letter, because of contractual obligations, would amount to “forced marriage”.

According to Mr Ramunenyiwa, the coach is still contracted to the club for the next 24 months.

All efforts made to get Mr Losciuto’s side of the story blew a blank as his phone was always

Makhado Council tables nearly R1,8bn operational budget

Member of the Borehole Water Association of South Africa

on voice mail. Mr Ramunenyiwa expressed his gratitude to the supporters for the unwavering support they demonstrated throughout the past season.

“The supporters were behind the team, even at times when their performance was below par,” he said.

According to him, the team will start with the preparations for the new season on Monday, 10 July.

Consumers in the Makhado municipal area can expect a 6,4% increase in property rates and other service tariffs, while electricity rates will go up by 1,88% as from 1 July this year.

This is according to the Makhado Municipality’s 2017/18 budget, tabled during Mayor Shonisani Sinyosi’s state-of-the-municipality and budget speech on 2 June.

During her speech, Sinyosi mainly focussed on issues of service delivery in regard of the municipality’s capital budget, totalling R163 758 000, with little being said about the municipality’s operational budget and how the municipality is going to pay for everything. The municipality supplied the Limpopo Mirror with a copy of the operational budget this week.

Budget in Brief The municipality’s operational budget totals R919 450 000 for the 2017/18 financial year, of which R841 501 000 will go towards operational expenditure, leaving the municipality with a R77 949 000 surplus.

Expected Operational Revenue The biggest contribution toward the operational budget revenue for the 2017/18 financial year will

come from the sale of electricity, with a projected turnover of R317 429 000. The second-biggest contribution (R300 109 000) will come from operational transfers, while the income derived from property rates comes in third, totalling R55 915 000. A further R55 176 000 will come from “agency services”, although the budget does not specify what these services are.

Other revenue includes “other revenue” (R30 587 000), interest on outstanding debtors (R13 726 000), licenses and permits (R12 567 000), service charges – refuse removal (R10 021 000), interest earned on external investments (R5 331 000), fines, penalties and forfeits (R1 889 000) and rent (R502 000). The above-mentioned excludes a further amount of R116 196 000, which is reflected as revenue from capital transfer (national, provincial and district).

Key items of Operational Expenditure With an overall increment of 7,36% as guided by the National Treasury, wages and salaries will again eat up the largest piece of the revenue cake, totalling R282 794 000.

This excludes the R25 958 000 to go towards the remuneration of

councillors.

The second-biggest expense will be bulk purchases (mainly electricity) totalling R212 748 000, while “other expenditure” comes in at third place, totalling R190 408 000.

During the 2017/18 financial year, the municipality also foresees writing off an amount of R95 872 000 due to depreciation and asset impairment, while R12 720 000 will go towards finance charges.

An amount of R11 million will be spent on contracted services, while R10 million is allocated for debt impairment.

Capital Budget As mentioned, the municipality’s capital budget totals R163 758 000. The biggest chunk of this amount will go towards labour-intensive projects, mainly roads and transport (R88 890 000).

A further R9 802 000 will be spent on planning and development, bringing the total to R98 691 000 for economic and environmental services. The second-biggest piece of the pie will go towards upgrading trading services, mainly the municipality’s electrical infrastructure.

For this, an amount of R58 336 000 was allocated. This includes the amount the municipality plans

to spend on upgrading Louis Trichardt’s main electrical substation from 44MVA to 66MVA. Smaller amounts were also allocated to finance and administration (R4 350 000) and community and social services (R2 380 000). Of the R163 758 000 needed to fund all their capital projects, the municipality aims to generate R49 368 000 in own revenue. The rest (R114 390 000) will be funded from grants from the national government.

Summary of Grants By far the biggest source of revenue for the municipality will again be grant allocations, totalling R416 305 000 for the 2017/18 financial year.

Without these allocation, the municipality would not have been able to function.

The equitable share grant tops the log with an amount of R294 079 000. Second in line is the municipal infrastructure grant (MIG) to the amount of R91 196 000, while the Integrated National Electrification Programme Grant will put a further R25 million in the municipality’s pocket. Smaller grants include the Demarcation Transition Grant (R2 282 000) and the Local Government Financial Management Grant (R1,7 million).

Youth celebrate their day in style among themselves, led by experienced youth culture experts,” the director for Charismatic Rhythms, Kagiso Kekana, said. “Unless youths engage one another in themes related to Youth Day in remembrance of the youths of 1976, they will know less history about the day and then all meaning of the Soweto uprising and history gets lost along the way.”

She added that when youths lost focus on the basis and meaning of Youth Day, they started to celebrate

the day through alcohol and drugs in places where violence and disorder became the order of Youths in the western parts of the day for them. “The purpose of the event was the Makhado area convened at to engage our young people by telling the history the Tshikota Community Hall of our fallen young leaders and to motivate our to commemorate and celebrate current ones to utilise the freedom that was once Youth Day last Friday. The event fought for them to the best of their abilities to was organised by the Charismatic create a sustainable future for themselves and Rhythms under the theme 1976 generations to come,” she said.

The guests included Cllr Martha Babadu, who marvelled at the energy and talent that the youths of Makhado displayed. She said that the audience development for performance art was needed in the community.

One parent, Ms Takalani Tshinesa, said that the community needed more events of this kind, not only during Youth Month but through the year. “Our youths are getting lost,” she said. “They are busy with substance abuse whereas there are so many activities to keep them busy. So, as the community, we need to join hands with the youth and instil a sense of positive lifestyle among them. Let’s encourage them to go to school and follow their dreams.” Charismatic Rhythms continues to build and shape the lives of youths in communities, and those interested in the activities of Charismatic Rhythms can contact them at kkekana65@yahoo.com.

Experience for young engineers on Ring Road

By Andries van Zyl Tshimangadzo Masindi and Zandile Tshabalala studied civil engineering in the Czech Republic. They are some of the recipients of bursaries from the Department of Transport.

The two candidate civil engineers were seconded to SANRAL to gain experience and qualify as engineers. They recently started their training at the Musina Ring Road project as assistants to the resident engineer.

Tshimangadzo and Zandile are required to spend 18 months on site.

They are currently busy with the construction of five bridges, as well as four in-situ culverts, as part of the project. Their responsibilities include testing the concrete according to required specifications before it is cast.

After 18 months, they will spend a further 18 months in Nelson Mandela Bay to do design training. Only upon completion can they apply for accreditation with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).

Zandile, who comes from Soweto, says she is enjoying the practical training she is receiving.

“My immediate future plans include becoming a qualified engineer.”

The Thohoyandou-based Tshimangadzo looks comfortable working in the field. Her immediate future plans are to work in civil engineering. “With experience, later in life, I would like to see myself as an executive in engineering specialising in Tshimangadzo Masindi on site at the Musistructures,” she said. na Ring Road project.

ANC regional conference to continue

By Kaizer Nengovhela The ANC Vhembe's regional conference, which was called off earlier this month, is scheduled to take place on Friday (23rd) and Saturday (24th) at Tshedza Lodge in Louis Trichardt.

The conference was scheduled for 2 and 3 June, but was postponed after several disruptions.

The meeting was marked by squabbles between delegates over the accreditation of mem-

bers. Two contesting factions clashed over which regional executive committee members should be allowed to vote at the conference.

The ANC’s constitution states that at least 10% of the voting delegates should come from the Regional Executive Committee, the Women’s League and the Youth League.

Sources from within the party said this week that the committee was divided into two factions - one supporting former Vhembe District Mayor

Tshitereke Matibe and the other backing his challenger, former Thulamela Municipal Manager and provincial ANC spokesperson Adv Makonde Mathivha. The committee apparently failed to reach consensus on which 23 of its 26 members should be allowed to vote.

The Regional Executive Committee were called in by the provincial structure to address the issues and it was agreed that the conference should go ahead this weekend.

Musina Mayor Cllr Mihloti Muhlope congratulates John Mulea, Ephraim Ramadwa and Emelda Muleya, who completed their degrees at the University of Limpopo with the assistance of the Musina Municipality mayoral bursary fund. The fourth graduate, Evans Matundu, was not available when the photo was taken.

Degrees for bursary holders Musina Municipality

Workers of Elim Spar pose while wearing different school uniforms as part of their Youth Day celebrations last Friday.

Four graduates who successfully completed their degrees at the University of Limpopo through the assistance of the Musina Municipality's mayoral bursary fund were acknowledged in a packed Madimbo Community Hall last Thursday.

The students have also been offered work contracts and placed in various sections of the municipality.

Emelda Muleya, Evans Matundu, Ephraim Ramadwa and John Mulea completed BCom (Accounting), BSc (Life Sciences), BCom (Economics) and LLB degrees respectively.

Mayor Mihloti Muhlope said in the past five years, the municipality had produced a total of ten graduates who had been placed in various departments within the municipality. “We are presently assisting 11 students with full bursaries

with their studies in various institutions of higher learning.

During our new financial year, which starts on 1 July, we will be spending R1,3 million to assist students identified from needy families.”

She added that education was one of the priority areas of Musina Municipality. “As council, we agreed that no child from Musina will not go to school because of poor financial background. That is why we are working with our stakeholders to identify indigent learners who are doing well but lack financial resources to further their education.

The good thing is that when these students complete their studies, they come back and develop the community of Musina, thereby adding value to the growth of our municipality. This clearly demonstrates that we are not spending our money in vain.”

She said the importance of education today was very clear. “Our own reconstruction and development effort, the renaissance of the entire continent and our successful interaction in the global village depend largely on the progress we make in educating our communities.

Education is key in creating a better society that is dynamic and productive because it can unlock the potential that lies within us all. Good education will provide our children access to our country's rich and diverse culture, its history and an understanding of their place in the world. Education offers opportunities to gain insight into the best that has been thought, said and done.”

One of the graduates, Ms Emelda Muleya, thanked the municipality for coming to her rescue since her family could not afford to send her to university.

“They were also part of the struggle”

As the youth across the country recently celebrated Youth Day, Mr Nnditsheni Sadiki (31) and his friend, Mr Solomon Malehase (43), celebrated youth month already with the elderly people in their village Nnditsheni from Ha-Mulima Pfananani village said he had come to realize that even the elderly had played a huge part in the 1976 struggle and that they were sometimes forgotten.

Almost all the elderly in the village attended the appreciation ceremony, where they were also guided on which route they should take if they experienced domestic abuse.

"This ceremony is just an appreciation for the role they played in our lives.

We know they were there supporting the struggle by the youth of 1976. To me they are all my parents. They groomed us, so I think their good role must be appreciated. I know that when you appreciate your

parents your days of living are being added," said Sadiki, an evangelist at the Grace Ministry.

One elderly citizen, Mr Johannes Matloga (65), who operates the community water pump in the village, was also honoured for the job he's doing for his community. He said he started working in the village in 1998 and that he felt very encouraged that someone was recognizing the good things they were doing for the community.

Traditional healers say no to killing

By Elmon Tshikhudo Traditional healers under the umbrella of the Vhembe Traditional Health Practitioners have distanced themselves from the scourge of ritual killings that has overwhelmed the Vhembe region.

On Tuesday, the healers, under the leadership of Maine Vho Mbulaheni Mbilivhili Neluvhola, gathered at the Thohoyandou Indoor Centre. The meeting started with a peaceful march from the venue to the local justice offices in Thohoyandou where they handed over a memorandum detailing their grievances.

The healers, clad in their regalia,

performed some rituals before they marched to the offices.

Neluvhola said the march emanated from their concern about the continued killing of people for ritual purposes, the disappearance of people, most of whom are found murdered, and the abuse of women and children and other crimes in the district. He said he was very concerned because when people got killed, traditional healers were the main culprits even if they were not involved. "We are concerned as healers, the killing of people for muti purposes is negatively affecting our calling.” He added that when a person was killed, many believed a traditional healer had prescribed human parts. “We are to put

He asked all to work with police and “expose all the murderers”. Neluvhola further indicated that they were handing a memorandum to justice as a matter of showing their concern.

“We are very disturbed as to what is happening. The police are doing their part but, the justice system is failing us when they release those involved. We need the justice system not to give bail to those involved and for those found guilty of such offences to be given harsh sentences.”

Emotions and grief ran high during the funeral, with the mother of the deceased having to be taken to hospital after collapsing. Many relatives and friends cried openly during the funeral.

Speaking during the funeral service, Thulamela Ward 36 Cllr Joseph Nemalegeni said they were worried and hugely disturbed by the state of affairs where people just went missing and were later found dead. “This is not the first incident in the village. Not long ago, another resident was killed and some of his parts removed.

We are tired as residents and I urge all of you to stand up and together fight the scourge that is threatening to wipe us out.”

Meanwhile, the police have not arrested any person about the killing and investigations are continuing.

New feather in cop’s cap

By Elmon Tshikhudo

According to Munwana, farms are very isolated and gaining entry to most of them is difficult, which makes it very difficult for inspectors to get an insight of what is happening. In his study, he recommended that farms should be regulated and that stiff fines be imposed for non-compliance. He also recommended that mobile labour centres be introduced to serve the far-flung areas. “My studies are inspired by the plight of the poor; in this case, the farm workers are the poorest of the poor. My aim is to study for an LLB-degree and start assisting the ordinary people in legal matters free of charge. Before that, I will not rest,” said Munwana.

The top Thulamela municipal traffic cop, Dr Thinandavha Edward Munwana, is taking education to new heights.

In 2014, Munwana (49) obtained a PhD from the University of Venda.

He has also presented papers on transport at universities such as Makerere in Uganda. Last week, the hardworking Munwana added another feather to his cap when he obtained a Master’s degree in law from the University of South Africa. The topic of his thesis is: A legal analysis of regulations of farm workers in South Africa.

Munwana said his study emanated from the plight of the farm workers who, despite the best labour laws, are still abused the worst. “I conducted my research on farms in the Limpopo and found that farm workers have the same problems of low pay, no housing, abusive bosses and supervisors and that they are fired at the will of the employer.”

He further indicated that some factors were leading to that practice, including the non-regulation of farms, where employers did as they wished. He said labour centres and inspectors were very far from the farms, which made it very difficult for workers to get access to them.

Communities celebrate Lufule Day

By Silas Nduvheni

Thovhele Gole Mphaphuli addresses communities in Lufule.

Hundreds of people from Lufule I and II gathered at the chief ’s kraal on Saturday to celebrate Lufule Day. Dances such as tshikona, tshigombela and domba were part of the entertainment during the event.

The local traditional leader of Lufule village, Chief Nkhuliseni Mphephu, said part of the celebration was to highlight the importance of traditional leadership. “We want the communities around to know their local chief and the Thovhele (senior traditional leader) and the municipalities around for the delivery of services. When the leadership is always interacting with the communities, they start to understand they have leaders who are ready to deliver better services to them,” said Chief Mphephu.

According to him, they have also invited the Thulamela Local Municipality and the Vhembe District Municipality, so that communities should inform them about challenges in terms of

service delivery and how to resolve such issues.

“We also told the Vhembe District Municipality that shortages of water remained a big challenge for communities around Lufule and surrounding villages. #We are staying in the villages next to the wetlands, but we are worried because we don’t have clean water,” added Mphephu.

Ms Sarah Ravele, principal of Lufule Primary School, said

during the event that, in the past, the traditional leaders were at the forefront of encouraging education and church for the development of communities. She mentioned that the school principals were ready to take education to the apex.

Thovhele Gole Mphaphuli said that Lufule Day also promoted the history of the Mphephu chieftaincy and urged traditional leaders in the Mphaphuli villages to treat their communities with respect.

The presenters and producers of the Phalaphala FM morning drive show, Vhandilani, celebrated Youth Day last Friday by wearing school uniforms. From left to right are: Terr “TBD” Mudau, Mpho “Jantiby” Nefale, Thina “Chitangon” Ramantswana and Rendani "Foromane" Sikhwivhilu.

Ria Luvha Road Show spreads to chieftaincies

Phalaphala FM’s Ria Luvha Road Show is an initiative where the station will be visiting various chieftaincies in Vhembe and the objective is to build a strong relationship between the station’s listeners and royal chieftaincies.

Phalaphala FM kickstarted road shows by initially getting the blessing from Khosikhulu ya Vhavenda, King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana.

That show took place on 25 February at Ha-Matidza. The second one was on 27 May at Ha-Muila.

The popular road show went to Thovhele Vho-Gole Mphaphuli at Nweli under Vha-Musanda Vho-Ramukumba on 9 June.

A day before the main event (Friday 8 June), the station broadcast their popular talk show, hosted by Mpho Rathando.

The programme focused on culture, geographical matters and the food of the citizens of Nweli.

Different listeners across all ages were also interviewed on the show.

The station’s on-air personnel also motivated the Grade 12 listeners from Fhatuwani, Thusa Lushaka and Jim Mpfariseni Secondary schools to work hard at school.

The team of motivational speakers comprised Wonder Juniper, Tshililo Khanari, Mpho Rathando, Godfrey Mabasa and Tovhowani Rathala.

They shared with the Grade 12 learners information related to career guidance, how to apply for a bursary and many more related and relevant academic information.

On Saturday, 10 June, the station had a main event during the Ria Luvha road show, where many listeners were addressed by Thovhele Vho-Gole Mphaphuli.

According to a spokesperson of the station, they were entertained by Tshivenda cultural groups and commercial artists. “Phalaphala FM’s Ria Luvha road show also gives an opportunity for local vendors to sell various products and market their brands.”

Thovhele Vho Gole Mphaphuli arrive at the event.

“The carnage on local roads, must stop” ties, in partnership with the Levubu Christian Church, other stakeholders and local religious leaders, came together for a day of prayer.

The local traditional leaders of Matsila and Nkuzana and Lim345 mayor Cllr Joyce Bila were all represented at the prayer service. The event was the initiative of Queen Tshinakaho Matsila and local councillors, after they realised that road carnage in the area was on the increase.

“We have been observing with dismay the increasing number of accidents here, some of The ever-increasing road carnage along the which were fatal, and felt that we could not wait R578 road between Elim and Giyani has for another accident before we acted.

Pastor Craig Whitcomb of the Levubu On Sunday, the two closely knit communiChristian Church said they were also concerned about the number of accidents in the area. “When asked by the queen of Ha-Matsila, a member of our church, to be part of the service, we felt touched and decided to support her initiative.

We value human life and we know that God never fails when His people cry to him.”

The acting mayor, Cllr Monica Rikhotso, who was accompanied by Ward 6 councillor Mr Dominic Mahlangu, said the increasing number of accidents had become a source of great concern.

“As government, we are doing all we can to minimize accidents and we hope that, with the prayers here today, the situation will change for the better.”

Outspoken and famous musician Penny Penny Nkovani and Chief Livhuwani Matsila also gave messages of support during the service.

The two have started a social cohesion project that aims to root out the Clergy, traditional leaders, councillors and other community members who came to pray for an end to scourge of tribalism. road accidents.

Public relations in the spotlight Municipal News Highly respected communicator and journalist Kenny Mathivha and distinguished City Press investigative journalist Mpho Dube recently shared their practical work experiences with communicators and journalists under the topic “Public Relations and journalism: Partnering for development”.

This was during the networking session of the Public Relations Institute of Southern Africa (PRISA)that was held at the Capricorn District Municipality’s council chambers in Polokwane.

Established in 1957, PRISA represents professionals in public relations and communication management throughout the southern African region. One of its main roles is to provide continued professional development for its registered practitioners and students.

Mathivha, who spent 20 years as a journalist and another 17 years as a communicator and travelled around the world, encouraged journalists and communicators to work together in order to develop their communities. “Journalists and communicators need each other and they should partner to inform their constituencies. I have been very fortunate because I have shuffled between these two roles, and I know that these two professions are guided by the principles of truth, accuracy, fairness and impartiality.

Journalists and communicators should have good contacts, be always available and be able to analyze their target audiences. If you are a journalist or a communicator and you can’t be reached by your communities, just call it quits because you are on the wrong platform.”

Mathivha, spokesperson for the Premier of Limpopo and multiple international award winner, said journalists must make sure that their stories are balanced and they should at least have three credible sources.

“All sides of the story should be presented and we encourage journalists to stop writing hearsay. You can wisely tackle community perceptions because perceptions not dealt with easily become a reality.”

On the other hand, Mpho Dube, a wordsmith and political analyst in his own right, warned journalists to guard strongly against fake news. “We know that most of our journalists are freelancers who earn according to the number of stories they generate. Words are very powerful and the moment you write about something that does not exist, it will be impossible to reverse it. Let us all uphold the basic principles of journalism to be able to protect our noble profession.”

PRISA Limpopo Chairperson Phuti Mothapo said she was happy that the networking session had achieved its set goals. “This was an eye opener and one of the most fruitful initiatives we have ever had locally. We will continue to stage these types of sessions to empower both our budding and experienced communicators and journalists.”

Musina Mayor Mihloti Muhlope issued a strong warning to councillors and officials who engage in corrupt activities, nepotism and abuse of power. “Anyone found guilty of such offences will be subjected to the strongest disciplinary action.

We pride ourselves on clean administration to enhance efficient service delivery to our people.”

Muhlope was addressing traditional leaders, representatives of stakeholders and invited guests during her 2017/18 state-of-the-municipality address (budget speech) at Madimbo Community Hall, Ward 8, last week.

She said the municipality remained committed to the realization of the five key performance areas, which include good governance and public participation, municipal transformation and organizational development, basic infrastructure and service delivery, local economic development and municipal financial viability and management.

“It is a pleasure to announce that our latest audit report from the auditor general (AG) is unqualified. An unqualified audit opinion is when the AG concludes that financial records and statements are fairly and appropriately presented, and in accordance with generally recognized accounting principles.

We are on course to achieve the targets set out in the Operation

Clean Audit.”

When giving a service delivery report summary, Muhlope said there were investments which were playing a major role in consolidating the economic backbone of the municipality.

“These include the extension of Musina Mall, construction of the N1 bypass, Venetia Mine underground exploration, Musina Special Economic Zone, Limpopo Eco-Industrial Park, and Nwanedi Agri Park, to name but a few. Other sectors that are bringing in investors into our municipality include agriculture, construction, trade, transport and tourism.

All these investments have created thousands of jobs for our local people.” She said that, despite successes, the municipality had some challenges that were being addressed. “We are unable to provide some of the services due to the high number of consumer debtors, which stand at R44,8 million.

We are continuously engaging defaulting community members to understand the value of paying for the services they get from the municipality. The Eskom debt, which now stands at R115 million, has been a cause of concern for Council.

However, we have entered into a repayment plan with the power utility to make sure that we settle the debt as speedily as possible.”

She added that the municipality was currently offering free services to more than 3 000 households from indigent backgrounds. “Each house-

hold receives six kiloliters of water, 55 kilowatts of electricity and free sewerage and refuse removal services every month.

We are slowly winning the war against poverty and unemployment as we have employed 210 community members through our expanded public works programme. We can all agree that Musina is now better than it was in 1994.”

Muhlope highlighted some of the projects that are currently unfolding. “These include the upgrading of the TshipiseMatatani road, construction of 600 RDP houses, extension of municipal offices, road construction in Nancefield, storm-water channel construction and upgrading of Skoonplaas Stadium.”

She announced some of the projects that the municipality will implement during the new financial year that starts on 1 July. “These include (but are not limited to) the construction of a sports centre in Muswodi, construction of 2.8km of paved roads in Nancefield, maintenance of internal gravel streets in all wards, upgrading of electricity, installation of feeder lines and replacement of 8,5km from copper to aluminium in our power lines, extension of electricity supply in Tshikuyu, Tshidzi, Gwakwani, Manezhe, Rangani Lathudwa and Bennde Mutale, installation of highmast light and street lights in municipal buildings, electrical reticulation for new settlements in Nancefield Ext 6, 7 and 14, to name but a few.”

Iyarunga win “No Bribery”

By Kaizer Nengovhela

scored from the edge of the box with a volley.

Iyarunga introduced their vastly experienced defender, Boikano Mathatha, and sacrificed Mutshidzi Thoga in the 38th minute.

The wheel of fortune turned in favour of the Iyarunga in the 40th minute. Ronewa Sadiki equalized with a volley. Realizing that their strikers were showing no appetite for goals, Franse Lithole of Iyarunga then abandoned his position to

assist the strikers.

United came close to scoring again in the 65th minute. Their right winger, Livhuwani Maduwa, received a neat pass from Charles Tshikumbana and ran towards the right corner, from where he dished a square pass.

The pass was intercepted before the ball entered the penalty box.

Both sides played defensive football for the remaining part of the game.

Makhitha Iyarunga became the winners of the Not Bribery Soccer Tournament when they beat Magau United 4-2 at Maebane on Saturday.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw and Iyarunga became victorious after a penalty shootout.

The youthful United relied on their experienced strikers, Ritshidze Matodzi and Phumudzo Silika, for goals. They were, however, tightly marked. Silika beat the offside-trap in the 15th minute and unleashed a half volley. The ball went far wide, much to the fans’ disappointment.

That was a wake-up call to Iyarunga. They initiated several promising moves from behind, but the balls were all intercepted when they entered the opposition’s danger area.

United did not lose hope, even though it was difficult for them to find their way through the defence of Iyarunga.

United finally broke the deadlock in the 26th minute when Rofhiwa Rambau of United attacks with the ball, while Tambulani Sithari is Moses Mabeba waiting for any possible mistake.

Grannies clash at Ramatlabama

By Kaizer Nengovhela Vhembe’s Vakhegula Vakhegula beat the Ramatlabama Grannies 2 - 0 during the Manyedi Soccer Tournament played outside Mahikeng at the weekend.

The tournament was organized by the Department of Public Service and Administration to promote social cohesion and to commemorate Youth Month. During the event, several calls were also made to stop abusing women and children.

Public Service and Administration Minister Faith Muth-

ambi said that the tournament was a tale of success and a glue that would continue holding the Ramatlabama society together. According to her, a cohesive society is one where people are protected against life risks, to trust their neighbours and where institutions of the state and society can work towards a better future for themselves and their families. “We have watched a very interesting match between Vakhegula Vakhegula from Limpopo (Mbokota Village) and Ramatlabama Grannies, based on the border of South Africa and Botswana. Although

Vakhegula emerged victorious, I saw potential in the Ramatlabama grannies. What they must do is to practice as a team and build confidence like Vakhegula used to do.”

Muthambi also asked what was stopping the elderly males from forming their own Madala Madala team. “When I come back next time, I want to see Madala Madala playing,” she said. Vakhegula skipper Florence Tshabalala said football made her remain physically fit.

“Chronic illness can’t cripple our country if we take sports seriously and keep on exercising,” said Tshabalala.

Referee assaulted during MTG / PIB match Tshandama Try Together and Lukalo Hotspurs that was played at the Makonde Home Defenders grounds

last Friday was characterized by some ugly scenes.

The MTG and PIB KO comHotspurs were the first to petition final game between knock on their opposition’s door. Their overlapping centre back, Shonisani Mapholi, was unfortunate in the ninth minute. He forced his way through the defence of Try Together and unleashed a volley from inside the box. The ball missed the target by inches, much to the disappointment of the team’s fans. Tshandama replaced Phumudzo Mudau with Kenny Maedza nine minutes towards the end of the first half.

The only change Hotspurs made to their original squad was when they introduced Mutshidzi Tiyani Sithole of Hotspur controls the ball after beating Fhatuwani Munyai for Hlulani Mulanduli of Try Together.

minute. The game came to a halt for about nine minutes as the fans of the two teams started to fight over the alleged planting of muti behind the goal posts. The situation returned to normal and the game continued as if nothing had happened. Chaos erupted again towards the end of the game as the fans assaulted one another with various objects, including stones and empty beer bottles. Again, the situation returned to normal and the game continued.

A player of Tshandama ignored the referee’s whistle and shot at goal shortly after the final whistle. That was followed by a heated argument between the players of Tshandama and the referee, Mr Tsumbedzo Ndwammbi.

The players argued that the goal was legitimate while the referee maintained that it had been scored after he had blown the final whistle.

The players finally succumbed and the winner was determined through penalty shoot-out as the final score was still 0-0. Hotspurs scored four while Tshandama managed to convert only one. The players and fans of Tshandama ran amok after Hotspurs had taken the winning penalty.

They went straight to the referee and started to assault him with various objects, accusing him of favouritism.

Lions and Brothers in Boy Nemakonde final

By Frank Mavhungu The Tshifudi Stadium will be a hive of activity tomorrow. That is where the much-awaited final for the Boy Nemakonde Soccer Tournament will be staged.

Munangwe United Brothers and Tshaulu Hungry Lions will meet in the final. Munangwe United Brothers beat Buluni Happy Boys 4-3 in their quarterfinal and Lukalo Hotspurs 4-2 in the semifinal stage.

Hungry Lions’ way to the final went via Mushiru Going Tigers, whom they beat 2-1 in their opening match last Saturday.

Their semifinal match was against Madandila Happy Boys, whom they beat 2-1 the following day.

Tomorrow’s programme will commence with a losers’ final match between Lukalo Hotspurs and Madandila Happy Boys, starting at 09:00. United Brothers must keep a close eye on the Spurs’ troublemakers, Shonisani Mapholi and Maluta Munyai, or else they will not know what will have eaten them at the end of the game.

The final is expected to start at 14:30. This year’s champions will take home a cash prize of R10 000, soccer kit, gold medals, a floating trophy, 11 pairs of soccer boots and six soccer balls.

The runners-up will receive R1 500, soccer kit and six soccer balls.

The third-placed side will take home a cash prize of R1 500 and six soccer balls.

Defenders win MMK league

By Kaizer Nengovhela Mpheni Home Defenders were crowned champions of the Safa Vhembe MMK Administrators League when they beat Mikhado FC in the final match at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Sunday. The winners were determined by penalty shoot-out.

Mikhado came back from a 2-0 deficit to hold Defenders to a 2-all draw.

Defenders played entertaining football from the onset, but their strikers were unlucky.

Aluwani Nedzamba, the Mikhado right flank, missed a good opportunity in the ninth minute, after he beat two defenders of Mpheni in a row, only to cause dismay by shooting aimlessly from inside the box. The ball went far wide.

Mikhado were the first to effect a change to their original line-up. They introduced Mpho Mavhandu and sacrificed Ndivhuwo Havhi.

The referee, Mr Jealous Chavani, flashed the first yellow card in the 27th minute. Isaac Makhuvha of Defenders was warned for a late tackle on Zwivhuya Mbadaliga.

Defenders opened their account in the 34th minute. Lucky “Machine” Mulaudzi made no mistake after receiving a square pass from

A gifted and multiple award-winning local darts player might not be able to represent Vhembe in Durban next month if she fails to raise the R10 000 needed for the flight, meals and accommodation.

Portia Nompumelelo Nkundlande from Musina is appealing to good Samaritans to come to her rescue, so that she can take part in the week-long South African Darts Championships.

As a member of the Vhembe Darts Association, Portia is the only black person in her team that is supposed to take part in the championships in Durban. Since the organization does not have enough money, it was agreed that individual players would pay for their expenses to participate in the games.

The team walloped their opponents in various regional and provincial competitions to book their place in the championships in Durban.

Portia says it will be a very big disappointment if she cannot realize her dream of participating in the championships in Durban.

“I always had a dream to turn professional and the tournament will be a stepping stone to realize this dream. There is this perception amongst our people that darts is a white man's sport, but I want to rewrite history and show everyone that even black people can excel at this sport. In my spare time, I engage young black kids and teach them how to play this exciting sport.”

She is appealing to businesspeople, individual community members and sports lovers to help her with the cash for her Durban trip. “It will turn me off to see my fellow white team mates boarding a plane to Durban while I’m left behind. I beg anyone to make some financial contributions so that

Defenders increased the margin via Lucky Mulaudzi, whose long-range ground cutter was too hot for the opponent keeper, Mukovhe Mphaga, to handle.

Mikhado did not lose hope, despite trailing by two goals. They continued to play like a team, initiating some promising moves from behind.
