Area in turmoil as Univen student is

Butchered

By Elmon Tshikhudo

What was supposed to be a happy surprise for a family at Khwekhwe outside Thohoyandou turned tragic when a member of the family was brutally killed some metres away from his home.

Nyambeni Jeffrey Mulangaphuma (32) of Khwekhwe had bought a car in Pretoria and phoned the family to say he would be arriving late on Monday

with a pleasant surprise. As promised, the education student at the University of Venda bought some beer at a local tavern early in the evening.

Information that this paper pieced together is that, after buying his beer, he set out for his home nearby. It is alleged that, on his way home, a girl in school uniform at the side of the road stopped him.

He was then apparently surprised by an unknown number of assailants, who pulled him out of his car

and took him to a nearby disused house, where he was mercilessly killed and taken back to his car and left in the passenger seat.

At the house, there was blood everywhere. Two pillow cases were left in the house where he was killed, while a third one full of blood was taken away by the police. According to the police, an attempt was also made to burn his car.

- Continues on p2 The deceased, Mr Jeffry Mulangaphuma (32).

Former radio journalist passes away A former journalist in the after a short illness at PolokSABC news office, Mr Zwon- wane MediClinic last Wednesdina Charity Mbezi waHa- day.

Mushavhanamadi (57), died His younger brother, Mr Percy Mbedzi, said it was hard to accept the death of his brother. "We know that God did his will for a reason.

Our hearts are bleeding as we lost a pillar and a hardworking person in our community.

We depended on him for advice and we learnt a lot from him during his lifetime."

Messages of condolence are pouring in from local and overseas sources and, according to Percy, it shows Mr Charity Mbedzi (57).

them that “Charity was an accommodating person to everyone, irrespective of colour, race and religion.”

He worked at the SABC from 1979 to 1988 and went to university to study for a BA degree.

He worked as a teacher from 1991 to 1995 and returned to the SABC from 2001 to 2004, when he joined the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture. At the time of his death, he worked in the provincial Department of Safety, Security and Liaison as the manager of publications.

Mr Victor Mufamadi from the Department of Safety, Security and Laision extended his condolences to the bereaved family. He said that the department would sorely miss the good working relationship and support they received from the Mbedzi family.

“The role the deceased played in fostering unity, discipline, hard work and dedication within the family and community shall always be cherished,” Mufamadi said. Mbedzi is survived by his wife and four children. He was buried yesterday (Thursday) in Polokwane.

“Continue to uphold the African culture” Communications Minister Faith Muthambi has commended the leadership of the United African Apostolic Church (UAAC) and urged it to continue upholding African traditions.

She was the guest speaker during a conference held at the church’s headquarters at Ha-Mavhunga in Nzhelele.

More than 100 000 members in their blue and white regalia from all over Southern Africa attended the conference. It was, among others, attended by King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana and several traditional leaders

and mayors from the Vhembe district.

Muthambi said that it was befitting for the church, which was built on cultural foundations, that the conference be held during Heritage Month. "It is the only church that propagates African traditions and culture.

The government associates itself with the church as it is the one of the few churches that are close to the people." She added that, besides the spiritual needs of the people, the UAAC also initiated projects that alleviated poverty among the communities and it also assisted those affected by

the scourge of HIV/Aids.

Mphephu Ramabulana said that there cannot be a distinction between the church and royalty.

“We have been strategically placed by God to lead his people and what we need from the church are prayers that we lead His people in a just and fair fashion,” he said.

In the main address of the event, the leader of the church, Archbishop Elias Miriri, urged the church and community to join hands in the fight against police killings. He also urged the members of the church to be wary of false prophets.

Man (32) robbed and stabbed to death From Page 1 He was robbed of all his belongings and stabbed all over the body.

News of the killing quickly spread in the village, and in no time angry community members went out hunting for identified suspects, who are believed to be part of a gang that is terrorising the community. The alleged suspects, who are believed to be young boys, were nowhere to be found. The community members then chose to vent their anger by burning homes. They set two on fire the same night and one on Tuesday morning at Tshidzete, a nearby village.

The angry residents barricaded the roads with big rocks, old car scraps, trees and bricks.

The girls believed to be working in cahoots with the suspects

were also identified and dragged before the community, where they allegedly confessed and also told the angry residents the whereabouts of the suspects. The area has been tense since then, with the police having running battles with rampaging youths throughout the night. Tear gas and rubber bullets were fired and some youths were stoning the police.

The dead man was described by his family as a very humble think tank who would not even hurt a fly. "My cousin was a very intelligent person who was respected by the whole family.

He worked for a local hotel, but resigned to further his studies at Univen. He went to Pretoria last week and he told us he would be surprising us on Monday. We were looking forward to seeing

the surprise when we received the surprising and shocking news," said Ms Takalani Madima, the deceased's cousin.

Madima said they believed there was more to the killing than robbery. "Look, they forced him out of his car to a nearby house and cut his throat before taking his body back to his car, where it was left in the passenger seat.

We are greatly saddened by this killing, and we just hope that the wheels of justice move fast and that the suspects are quickly brought to book," she said.

Police spokesperson W/O Solly Mukhola expressed shock about the killing. He said the situation was calm at the village but roads were still blockaded.

“We have opened a case of arson in respect of a two-roomed house that was burnt by the protesters.”

However, it seemed that the death hoax had also boosted Prifix’s fan base. Azwie V. Mbedzi, on Facebook, said: “Fame though … I didn’t know you but now I do. Thanks to your so called death ...”

On 17 September, Prifix updated his Facebook status, refuting rumours that he was dead. He sounded unhappy and angry. He wrote: “I’m Not Dead! And For Everyone Blaming My Manager Lavhutanu For The Reason That His Account Was Hacked, F@#k You! The Man Plays A Role Of Being My Father; He Will Never Do Such A Thing!!!”

Prifix is famous for songs such as Born and Raised, Vhutshilo ho shanduka, and Rudzani. He hails from Mapate village, south of Thohoyandou.

He said that his parents were very disturbed by the rumours about his death. “We had to sit down with his parents, because they were hurt,” said Tshivhidzo. Fans of the artist were clearly relieved when hearing that the rumours are not true. “Rikhou livhuwa mudzimu … (We thank God that you are still alive). Why bad things happen to good people mah vhanna,” said Fulufhelo Mukhuba.

Another Facebook fan, Tshifhiwa Lenin Rambau Lenin, said: “Prifix ndi sole ahuna ane a nga mu wisa. A si vhathu vhothe vho no tama Prifix a tshi tshila.

BEST USED CARS!

The hoax on social media announcing the death of talented VenRap artist Prifix, aka Tendani Mathaga, has shocked thousands of his fans.

“I just want to set the record straight: I am not dead, I am alive,” Prifix said on Monday.

“People should focus on the positive side of life and stop posting nonsense on social media, trying to taint the image of other people.”

The 21-year-old singer had switched off his mobile phone when he was attending a lecture last Thursday afternoon. Unbeknownst to him some unidentified person(s) hacked the Facebook account of his manager, Raymond Mulalo Tshivhidzo (well-known as Lavhutanu Li Do Swika), and posted a status on Prifix’s wall, announcing the young singer’s death.

The world immediately resonated with the loss of a short-lived, gone-too-soon talent. Fans from all over believed that Prifix was dead.

“This was awful,” said Tshivhidzo. “I had left my phone while I attended to some duties, but when I returned I found around 40 missed calls. People wanted to find out how this young talent had exited this world.”

He then opened his Facebook account and found over 180 messages in his inbox. “They were all curious, shocked and expressing words of condolences,” he said. “It was disturbing. This thing had really put my relationship with Prifix to the test.”

Prifix told Limpopo Mirror that he was shocked the moment he switched on his phone. “Voice messages had filled up my inbox; everyone wanted

By Silas Nduvheni

Mayor celebrates birthday with children The mayor of Musina, Cllr Mihloti Ramoyada, celebrated her 43rd birthday with children and senior citizens at Lesley Manyathela Stadium on Monday. Ramoyada said that she decided to celebrate her birthday with the children because they were the future leaders of society.

“Children are innocent and they have a special place in my heart. It is always good to make them happy because the happier they are, the more they enjoy life.

I know how good it is to be loved

and appreciated.”

She added that the Bible said that people should respect their parents.

“To me, every senior citizen is my parent. They deserve to be appreciated because they are the foundation of our lives. We are what we are because of the contributions of these people.

Their wisdom is good because they advise us, based on their life experiences. That is why I made sure that they form part of this day.”

A pensioner and former teach-

er, Mrs Singita Madinginye, who taught Ramoyada in Grade 1, said that they never thought that Ramoyada would one day become the first citizen of the town. “She grew up like other kids and we are happy that we have produced a good leader who continues to put our town on the map. We are really very proud of her.”

During the formal programme, pastors from different denominations prayed for the mayor and motivational speakers sang praises throughout the event.

Four children who were also born on 21 September assist Mayor Mihloti Ramoyada in cutting one of the birthday cakes during the celebration.

Chief Ratshibvumo II Rambuda the new ruler of the Rambuda community King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana expressed the hope that the installation of a young new senior traditional leader, Ratshibvumo II Rambuda, for the Ha-Rambuda communities of Mutale will help speed up development in the areas under his jurisdiction.

“We hope that Chief Rambuda, with his good education, will inspire the other young traditional leaders. We call on him to use his education to assist the government in ensuring that his communities get services and that the community poverty alleviation projects will receive priority,” said Mphephu Ramabulana.

The new leader was installed

during an event at the Tshiwangamatembele sports grounds on Saturday. He succeeded his late father, Chief Azwihangwisi Rambuda, who passed away in December 2013.

During the event, Madambi Rambuda was installed as ndumi, while Nakisani Rambuda was installed as makhadzi.

MEC Makoma Makhurupetje, the Provincial MEC for the Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, said that the new chief must assist the government in identifying service delivery challenges in his area. “It is also expected that the new chief should form a strong partnership with the local

municipality. Where possible he can also participate in the council debates. We hope that, by working together with the government, the new chief will help in addressing his people’s access to employment, job creation and other socio-economic projects to advance their interests,” MEC Makhurupetje said.

Makhurupetje urged the communities under his jurisdiction to give the new chief all the support he needs. Representing the 42 chiefs of Ha-Rambuda, Chief Nthatheni Lambani told the gathering that, in the Rambuda communities, there were no good roads and that the tribal council buildings were old and dilapidated.

Stakeholders who attended the recent Copyrights and Literature Production Seminar expressed their satisfaction and appreciation for the event.

The seminar, an initiative of the Pan South Africa Language Board (PANSALB), was attended by authors, post-graduate students, teachers, lecturers, officials from the Departments of Education and Sport, Arts and Culture.

It was held at Porschevilla Hotel at Muledane outside Thohoyandou last Thursday.

Veteran academic and author Prof Asnath Khuba said it was worthwhile and an eye opener to most of the writers. “As authors, we have to move with the times.

We started writing many years ago and so many things have changed in this field. We have to work in line with assisting the child at school and our readers at large and there are new set standards that we have to follow as authors.” She added that they had benefited a lot and that they would put what they had learnt to use in their next projects. “We also learnt a lot about copyright, which we did not know and that led us to be exploited in our trade,” she said.

Seminar organiser Mr Lufuno Ndlovu, PANSALB’s manager for literature and media nationally, said there was a need for such a seminar.

“This is a first of its kind and we started here, but we will also take it to the other provinces. We are very humbled to have veterans like Prof Asnath Khuba and renowned author Mr Muloiwa.

Our aim is to develop Tshivenda literature and align it with the new curriculum to make sure our pupils understand literature issues,” he said. Another coordinator, Ms Joyce Madiba , PANSALB Limpopo’s provincial manager, said there was a new Copyright Amendment Bill which they had discussed with all stakeholders to have their input.

“Authors also have to know what is expected of them and this is the right platform,” she added.

The third Tshifhiwa Muofhe memorial lecture, which takes place tomorrow (Saturday), is expected to draw an array of speakers and notable friends of the late activisit.

The Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, will give the keynote address.

The event takes place at the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Southern Africa at Shayandima.

Tshifhiwa Isaac Muofhe was killed by the Venda homeland police on 12 November 1981 after MK guerrillas bombed the Sibasa Police station, killing a few policemen on the night of 26 October, 1981.

Muofhe, who was known to have campaigned against the homeland system and had assisted a lot of young people to join MK, was arrested with many others on 10 November. He was found dead in a cell at Matatshe prison two days after his arrest.

At the time of his death, he left a baby girl, Mulanga, who was only six months old, and his wife Tendani, an academic of note both in South Africa and the Americas, where she lived for many years.

According to one of the organizers, Mr Kenny Mathivha, the first memorial lecture was addressed by former Premier Adv Ngoako Ramathlodi and Muofe’s close friends Bishop Ndanganeni Phaswana and Dr Tshenuwani Farisani.

“The 2012 memorial lecture took a nostalgic turn when the crowds started at Beuster Mission in Maungani, drove to his grave site and to his former house in Thohoyandou, and drove to the infamous torture centre at Sibasa and thereafter to Matatshe Prison.”

The second memorial lecture was given by Rev Chris Nissen, who was an Evangelical Presbyterian minister at Vhufuli. He later became an MEC under the ANC administration in the Western Cape.

Mathivha said that Dr Farisani, former MEC, Speaker and ANC MP, confirmed that the lecture had grown bigger and better in the memory of a dear friend and fearless comrade.

Farisani also confirmed that plans are afoot to rename the Matatshe Prison after Muofhe. “We are waiting for all processes to be finalized and are very excited by these developments,” Farisani added.

Centre has a “mandate to rehabilitate” The Thohoyandou Correctional Centre held a successful campaign to prepare juvenile prisoners and to equip them with wisdom to prevent a relapse into criminality after being released from prison.

“Even if you had committed crime in a group, tell yourself that you committed crime alone, because that can help you admit your sin or wrongdoing,” were the words of Nkhumeleni Mutavhi from the Vhembe District Municipality.

The campaign was also aimed at promoting the self-esteem of those in prison. “Being in prison does not mean that you are evil and that your God has rejected you,” Mutavhi said. “You (offenders) need to accept that you have committed crime and do the right thing. Do not violate the rights of other people.”

According to the Thohoyandou Management Area's internal communications officer, Thompho Nesane, the knowledge the offenders gained at this juncture

will help them when they are released. They are encouraged to refrain from leading a life of crime by staying out of groups and to discover the purpose of life. “We don’t have a dustbin of people as a department, but we have a mandate to rehabilitate offenders, so that they can become better people in their communities and help their communities with the skills they have acquired while they were incarcerated.

This will also help to avoid and minimize relapsing,” said the head of the female and juvenile centre, VhoJoyce Rambuda.

Avhatakali Damba, a social worker, said: “When you (offenders) are released, you need to know the good people that you can associate with, so that you do not commit crime again and live a better life”.

A juvenile prisoner, Mandla Ndove, said he was unreservedly conveying his sincere regret to the community he had wronged. “I want the community to accept me back when I am released,” said Ndove.

He concluded by saying, “I am learning from my mistakes and I need the youth to know that prison is not the home of a person. Go to school, Juvenile prisoners were urged to stay away from crime after being stay away from alcohol released. and live a better life.”

Doctor’s degree for Luthern cleric Dean Alunamutwe Randitsheni (50), a prominent voice against ritual murders in the Vhembe Region, achieved one of his most cherished dreams on Friday, when the University of Venda conferred a PhD in African studies on him.

Randitsheni is head of the Devhula Leboa Circuit of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and

also chairperson of the South African Council of Churches in Vhembe.

Touched by the pain and suffering of victims of ritual murders and their families, Randitsheni embarked on research aimed at ending the scourge.

He was one of the 500 students who received qualifications in different disciplines during the graduation ceremony held at the university auditorium. A record number of 15 doctorates were conferred by the university’s chancellor and former deputy president, Mr Kgalema Mothlanthe.

Randitsheni’s thesis: An investigation into ritual murders in the Vhembe District of the Limpopo Province of South Africa involved indepth interviews with stakeholders and family members of victims of muti murders. “The killing of innocent people has left many families without breadwinners, some with only children left to fend for themselves after their parents were killed. The aim of the research was to find out the root causes of the killings, the people behind the killings and how this could be stopped."

He added that the research established that those involved believed the body parts would boost their power base and authority, increase support of members in organizations, attract wealth and increase socio-economic status in the community. Randitsheni said those involved in such practices included traditional healers, traditional leaders, religious leaders, political leaders and businesspeople, among others.

“The findings will be of help to the community as we have come up with proposals and a training manual that will help educate people to change their values, attitudes and practices regarding ritual murders. The manual is also envisaged to Dr Alunamutwe Randitsheni receives his be used in other countries in challenging ritual doctorate from Prof Edward Nesamvuni. murder practices,” he said.

Media affairs

“Civil structures in touch with citizens” Emerging community media houses were given an opportunity to market their services to municipalities, government departments and the private sector during the Musina Municipality Communicators' Forum meeting which was held at the municipality’s council chambers last Friday.

Musina Municipality's communications manager, Wilson Dzebu, said the networking session was important because there was a need for media houses and their clients to understand each other on how they operated. “Communicators will do very little to communicate without the assistance from the media. It is now time that we should see each other as partners, rather than viewing each other as antagonists. As a product of community media myself, I know the challenges that young journalists come across on a daily basis. These challenges need all of us to resolve.”

Veteran communicator and now head of communications in the provincial department of education Dr Naledzani Rasila delivered an informative presentation on strengthening the war against violent protests through effective communication. “It is important for us as communicators to know why people embark on violent protests. We should also share information with community members on the channels to follow when they protest. Protestors must also take into account that the constitution highlights obligations, including not to incite violence, to respect others' rights and not to violate the security of the country.”

Among other solutions to avert violent protests, Rasila suggested that civic structures should always be in touch with their citizens. “Traditional leaders should not distance themselves from their subjects and all community concerns should be addressed as urgently as possible. The government should also communicate successes timeously and inform the electorate of any challenges whenever they arise.”

Theological College presents course in ecclesiology People who are interested in the nature of the church are afforded the opportunity to enrol for a module in ecclesiology (study of the church) with Mukhanyo Distance.

In the course of about 13 sessions, the following subjects will be discussed: Why the church is important, names and Scriptural metaphors of the church, attributes of the church from the ancient fathers, traits of a healthy church, church as missional and nurturing community, worship and fellowship, church discipline, leadership and church government, means of grace, baptism, the Lord’s supper, and the Holy Spirit and the church.

Dr Jack Whytock from Mukhanyo is the lecturer.

His lectures will be followed on DVD while welltrained Mukhanyo Distance facilitators will assist the students. All students who attend the module will receive a certificate of attendance.

The study forms part of Mukhanyo Distance’s diploma course in theology, but students are invited to enrol for this single module. Mukhanyo Distance enables students to receive relevant, high-quality, holistic, affordable in-service distance training in theology. It provides Bible-based training opportunities and facilities to church leaders for church and community development in Africa.

The course also develops church leadership and administrative skills in order to inspire kingdom vision and to support the growth and development of churches. An important aspect is to equip leaders, office bearers and members of churches to understand and apply the Bible correctly in their own environment.

Mukhanyo Distance invites everybody who is

interested to attend the first lecture free of charge at 10:00 on Saturday, 3 October.

The venue is Theocentric College at Matsila Village.

The cost involved is R200 per module. A number of bursaries are also available, which will enable students to study for R100 per module. This

amount includes all study material.

Students follow by DVD the same classes that full-time Mukhanyo students attend.

Interested people can phone Dr Edmund de Beer (083 391 1065), Rev Nathaniël Muhadi (083 557 2367) or Rev Robert Makungo (082 441 4687) for more information.

Nefale was only 19-years old when he joined Radio Venda as a junior presenter in 1984. “We were very young and really felt quite humbled when we could do something different from teaching or policing, as these were the only career choices we had at the time,” he reminisces.

By Kaizer Nengovhela When she started writing at the age of 11, many people wrote her off as someone wasting her time.

Now, at the age of 20, all the hard work has paid off for Venus Mkhabela from Muchipisi Village in Malamulele and she has released a motivational book that has people of her village and the entire Malamulele area talking.

Her debut book, Unstoppable Generation: Reaching forward for what is ahead, was released in the village over the weekend. The book launch was attended by young people from most schools around Malamulele and members of different churches. It is the first time in the history of the village that someone organised an event to release a book there. Mkhabela is an early bloomer. At the age of 20, she is also already a pastor of the Battle of Souls Ministry under senior Pastor Tshembhani

Yingwani. Venus is the third-born daughter of Magezi Phineas and his wife, Joyce Mkhabela. According to her, she was called at an early age to be a minister of the Gospel of Christ. “I am very grateful to God that I was able to discover my gift as an author at an early age,” she said. Her high school principal, Aubrey Mabasa of EPP Mhinga High School, said Venus showed potential while still at school. “The book will go a long way in motivating rural kids that, irrespective of their background, they can go far in life,” he said. She matriculated at EPP Mhinga in 2013 and is currently studying for a diploma in Chemical Engineering.

Venus said the release of the new book set her up as a motivational speaker, something that she had been doing as a pastor. “God used me to change lives through my preaching and prayers and now he will change more lives through my written word,” she said. She said she was inspired by the late pastor Myles Munroe’s works. She loves writing short stories and poems. She said her book was a motivational book that encouraged people to develop their inner selves before showing their talents to the world, and not to try and fly until their wings were strong enough. “It will instil discipline, among many other virtues, among young people,” she said.

By Elmon Tshikhudo With the existing animosity between the Vhavenda and VaTsonga emanating from the municipal demarcation issues taking place in the area, a young man has come up with a remedy to change the situation around.

Muyahavho Nonyana (23) or Garveynator as he is known in music circles, a third-year Political Science student at Univen, came up with a sizzling album, Sendekela.

The 10-track album, the third by this versatile artist, fuses the Vhavenda and VaTsonga cultures together and brings a new breeze in music circles.

The beat is XiTsonga and the lyrics are in Tshivenda and Sepedi. It also has some Selobedu songs.

“I worked hard on this album and believe it is the best I have produced so far. The music arena is now stagnant and needs change. There is too much repetition here and I am bringing change in the industry. Besides trying to forge peace

between ethnic groups in Limpopo, I wanted to show that cultures can merge and that they are dynamic, which means they are subject to change over time,” said Nonyana, who hails from Chavani village outside Louis Trichardt.

He added that he also timed the release to coincide with Heritage Month “to show that our culture is of the utmost importance.”

Nonyana said the album was doing well in the market, with many community radio stations playing most of the tracks. He said that he realised his potential for singing while at Tshikhuthula Secondary School in 2008. He was later a member of the village choir, Mukondeni Holy Mission.

He recorded his debut album, Wega, in 2012, followed by Kokwani in 2013.

He and Solomon Manganye composed all the songs on Sendekela and it was produced by Madumelani.

Cultural school for Tshisahulu area?

Plans are at an advanced stage for the building of a cultural school that will cater for youths from the royal family as well as children from the surrounding areas at Tshisahulu.

The announcement was made

by Tshisahulu senior traditional leader Chief Thivhulawi Makumbane during the Tshisahulu royal youth heritage celebrations held at the Tshisahulu royal palace last weekend.

Hundreds of youths from all 19 houses of the Makumbane Royal family attended the event, which was organised by Queen Thinawanga Makumbane, who felt the need for the family to come together and get to know each

other. Elders and royal council members also gave support to the event. The family tree was also read and explained during the ceremony.

Well-known cultural champion Ms Livhuwani Ngwana of Nyavhumbwa Wa Dagaila Cultural Village spoke about the importance of culture and how the royal youths should conduct themselves in their daily lives.

A traditional leader and former mayor of Thulamela, Chief Thivhulawi Makumbane, said in his speech that there would be no heritage if parents did not become responsible and take charge of their children’s lives. “Our country is rotten to the core; youths

roam the streets aimlessly and engaging in unbecoming activities. We have the responsibility as parents to restore what is being taken away from our children by teaching them traditional dances and our culture, which is fast fading away.” Makumbane further indicated that there was a need for the cultural school as it would teach the young ones their roots and their identity. He said each of the royal council meetings would also focus on the building of a cultural school. “We cannot wait any longer. Ngwana is doing a good job here and has volunteered to help us in this respect, and we cannot let this opportunity slip from us,” he said.

Royal council members, elders, youths dressed in their cultural regalia, Chief Makumbane, Queen Thinawanga Makumbane, Nyavhumbwa Wa Dagaila's Livhuwani Ngwana and others pose for a picture during the event.

Mother angry with postponement of case The blind mother of little Katlego Khosa (2) of Mufeba, Ms Veronica Khosa, is not happy about the postponement of the case her little girl is involved in.

The toddler had sustained serious head injuries while visiting her aunt at Ha-Maila in September last year. The case was recently again postponed, due to absence of the accused's lawyer.

The accused, Ivy Mulaudzi, from Maila village, was granted bail of R1 500 bail in the Tshitale Magistrate’s Court on 19 February, after spending six months in the police cells.

She gave birth to a baby girl at Vhufuli Hospital while she was in the care of the Thohoyandou Correctional Services in February and requested the court to grant her bail as she wanted to take the baby to traditional medical practitioners to treat a type of illness that could not be cured by modern doctors, according to her.

The spokesperson for the Makhado police, Const Irene Radzilani, confirmed that Mulaudzi was pregnant when she

was arrested and she gave birth to a baby girl at the Vhufuli Hospital on 18 February, not in the police cells.

Two months ago, the Waterval Magistrate’s Court postponed Mulaudzi’s case due to the absence of her lawyer, who is known only as ‘Rambau’. On 3 August and 1 September, the case was postponed again for the same reason. She is due to appear before the court again on

25 September.

Katlego’s blind mother, Veronica Khosa, said it was difficult and it looked as if there was “a plot to kill the case. Although I’m happy that my little girl is back home, I want to see the court prosecute Mulaudzi. My little girl spent a few months in Mankweng Hospital’s intensive care unit. Instead of saving my monthly grant, I’m spending it on Katlego’s medication.”

Police clamp down on illegal squatters The Makhado Police launched an operation last week to clean the surrounding area next to the municipal dumping site along the Vondeling road outside Louis Trichardt.

They were supported by the local traffic department and fire brigade when they went in on Thursday to clear up the area. Residents staying along the Vondeling road have been

complaining about people who set up shacks. According to local police spokesperson Const Irene Radzilane, nine illegal shacks were dismantled and burnt to the ground. Some of the inhabitants were apparently locals, while those who were from Zimbabwe had legal permits to be in the country. All of the inhabitants were warned to relocate elsewhere as they were staying on

private property.

Judging by the remains the squatters formed a small community of their own. Everyone’s “house” (a clearing under a thorn tree) was connected with a bush trail and consisted of a cooking and sleeping space.

The clean-up action was an effort by the police, said Radzilane, to curb crime in and around Louis Trichardt.

Youth development fund for Makushu The Makushu/Musholombi Youth Development fund was formed at Makushu a fortnight ago with the aim of fighting against the high rate of crime and drug abuse.

It also wants to encourage the youth to concentrate on education and alert girls about the problems of pregnancies.

According to the chairperson, Mr Musiwa Thapeli, they felt

that there was a need to start a fund that will assist indigent scholars to further their studies.

Makushu is predominantly rural and most of the parents are unemployed, and it is almost impossible for them to enrol their children at tertiary institutions.

Thapeli said many children had lost direction in their lives and their organisation wanted to support them. He also appealed

to the different organisations in Makushu to support each other because they would not be able to function effectively if they were divided.

Thapeli said the youths were engaged in several activities meant to keep them off the streets.

Several members of the community participated in a fun run during the event.

The youths who won the fun run during the launch are Patricia Kobe (third - left), Mathatha Libadelo (first - centre) and Muthupei Libadelo (second - right.)

King Toni’s walk becomes a royal affair The annual King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana Fun Walk and Musangwe was a royal affair this year with two African kings joining the Vhavenda king and thousands of his subjects for the event.

The walk, which started at the Christian Miracle Church at Tshisele and ended at the Nandoni Royal Gardens, was the brainchild of Mphephu Ramabulana himself in partnership with Phalaphala FM and the Nandoni Royal Gardens.

It is a buildup to the widely popular Phalaphala FM Royal Heritage Festival, which has

become one of the best crowd pullers in the region.

King Fabrice Zombi from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Amapondo King Zanozuko Sigcau joined the Vhavenda king and walked the full 12 km to the royal gardens at Nandoni, where they also watched a musangwe tournament. Adressing the event, Mphephu Ramabulana said the event was more than a walk and watching musangwe, but a promotion of unity among the Vhavenda nation and promoting Vhavenda culture. “We believe this is an opportune time for us to be together and spend

the day with our people, and it also helps us to keep fit.”

He said the occasion was also meant to showcase what the Venda culture entailed. “We have people from all over the world.

This is the time we show what we are made of.”

King Fabrice Zombi said he was no foreigner in Venda as there were many Vhavenda in the DRC. “We are one people and one blood and we take pride in celebrating with you your culture during this special month. I will always support King Toni Mphephu’s initiatives as they are for the good of the people,” he said.

Leading by example are, from right to left, Cllr Tshitereke Matibe (Vhembe executive mayor), King Sigcau, King Toni Mphephu, King Fabrice Zombi and Thovhele Gole Mphaphuli during the 12 km walk to Nadoni.

Phalaphala lost cohesion in the middle of the park shortly after the Univen goal and were severely punished. A scramble in the danger area of Phala Phala in the 13th minute gave rise to Univen's second goal. Sidogi finished off a rebound, following an attempt by Teejay Mashimbyi. The half-time score was 2-0 in favour of Univen.

Lucky Tshilimandila of Phalaphala reduced the margin and scored early in the second half. The goal was a wake-up call to the players of Phalaphala FM. They scored another goal when Kelvin Murubi hit the net in the 58th minute.

Results

Amazing 4-0 victory for Baroka FC One of the Limpopo NFD sides, Baroka FC, proved that they really mean it when they say they want to finish their league programme on top of the log this year, when they brutally walloped the much-feared Thanda Royal Zuly 4-0 at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay on Saturday.

Sam Ndlovu scored a brace in the first half, while Thabiso Kutumela followed suit in the last stanza.

Baroka remain in the second spot on the log with 10 points, two behind the pace setters, Cape Town All Stars. The newly promoted Mthatha Bucks are still

Can Black Leopards outsmart Cape Town?

It remains to be seen whether Black Leopards will bounce back and make FC Cape Town pay for the 0-2 defeat they suffered at the hands of Cape Town All Stars, when they meet in their NFD match at the Thohoyandou Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

According to Leopards’ head coach, Mr David Bright, they had put last weekend’s results against Cape Town All Stars behind them, and they are looking forward to collecting full points tomorrow.

Lidoda Duvha dropped from the second to the fifth position on the log, following last Sunday’s 0-2 defeat to Cape Town All Stars. Leopards’ left

winger, Bongani Manana, sustained a knee injury last Sunday and will not be fit to play.

The strikers for Cape Town will not find it easy to beat the Leopards defenders, Harry Nyirenda, Thivhavhudzi Ndou and Jonathan King.

Should FC Cape Town collect full points tomorrow, it will be their first victory this season. The team from the mother city drew 1-1 with Mthatha Bucks at the NNK Rugby Stadium in Cape Town last Saturday.

Santos have a mountain to climb tomorrow. They will host Witbank Spurs at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. Spurs are in top form after beating Vasco da Gama 3-0 last weekend. Amazulu and Moroka Swallows will meet at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban, while Royal Eagles will lock horns with Mbombela United at the Kanyamazane Stadium. African Warriors will meet Highlandspark in Thembisa.

Sunday's fixtures are Vasco da Gama vs Thanda Royal Zulu and Mthatha Bucks vs Baroka FC. This afternoon (Friday), Cape Town All Stars will take on Milano United.

Municipalities of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) participate annually in the inter-municipal games. The Vhembe District Municipality has sent about 60 employees to participate in the games in Maseru, the capital of Lesotho. They will compete in events such as soccer, netball, volleyball, fishing, table tennis and snooker. The games started last Saturday and will finish this afternoon (Friday).

Local boys in sevens tournament in Dubai Top athletes ready for Two Countries Two of Louis Trichardt’s very own young rugby players have been handpicked to be part of an international sevens tournament later this year.

AC Geldenhuys and Ali Sofele are both pupils at Louis Trichardt High School who play for their first rugby team. About a month ago, the two’s team played a match against Merensky High School, where they were selected for the Eagles Invitational U/19 team that has entered the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens tournament.

This tournament is held in conjunction with the World Rugby men’s and women’s Sevens

World Series, and will take place in Dubai from 3 to 5 December.

Annually, the tournament is attended by more than 120 000 people who come to watch the 16 international rugby teams and 160 invitational teams who travel from all over the world to be part of the tournament.

The Eagles’ Invitational Team consists of young players selected from across South Africa.

From Limpopo, apart from AC and Ali, only two more players were selected, both from Merensky.

Both AC and Ali impressed the Eagles’ scout. Especially AC was recommended for his light foot-

work and swiftness in the game.

The duo’s coaches are especially impressed with them and are helping with extra practise and raising funds for the two.

Players who are entered into the tournament are responsible for the payment of their own inclusive tournament fee. For AC and Ali, this will be R25 000 each.

Both have already started collecting money to enable them to attend the tournament, but residents are also welcome to help them.

For more information, the school can be contacted at Tel 015 516 4965.

The tension is mounting for the Two Countries Marathon that will take place on Saturday, and several athletes from different countries will be vying for the top prizes. Last year's champion, Nkosiyazi Sibanda, reckons he has what it takes to claim his sixth victory in this prestigious race.

The Zimbabwean runner finished the tough route in 2:25:57 last year, claiming his fifth victory. The 34-year-old athlete seems to be in good nick, and earlier this year he successfully defended his title at the Vic Falls Econet marathon for the fourth consecutive year. He indicated that he has his eyes set on victory and wants another gold medal.

His competition will in all likelihood come from athletes such as Michael Ngaseke of Mr Price Athletics Club. “I started to prepare for the Two Countries Marathon a long time ago and I am sure I will do my best this year. I made a few mistakes in the last marathons, but I look forward to rectifying them and crossing the finish line in top form in my next race,” said Ngaseke.

Kelvin Pangiso of Mr Price Athletics Club, also from Zimbabwe, says he aims to break the Two Countries Marathon record. “With the hard work I put into my training sessions, anything is possible.

It wasn’t difficult for me to win the medals in the previous marathons," he said In the other categories, many tough battles are expected. Local athlete and veteran runner Jane Mudau says that she trained hard to win her category and also to set a new course record.

Jane won the master's section last year and ended second overall in the ladies race.

Olivia Chitachi says she is in perfect condition and ready to become the new ladies champion.

According to her, she cannot let her fans and her country down.

The 42,2 km race will start in Zimbabwe and end at Eric Louw High School in Musina. This

is the 18th year that the race is being held and it is again organised by the Soutpansberg Athletics Club, in co-operation with Musina Municipality.

The main event is the marathon (42,2km), but there will also be a 21,1km half-marathon and 9km run, with a total prize money of R73 2000.

The 9-km run is hosted by Eric Louw.

The marathon will start at 06:00 and compulsory free transport will be provided from Eric Louw to the starting line. The 21,1-km race will start (07:00) and finish at Eric Louw, as well as the 9-km race (starting at 07:30). Athletes must pre-enter for this race and must be in possession of a valid passport on the day of the race.

According to the mayor of Musina, Cllr Mihloti Ramoyada, the main purpose of the marathon is to promote long-distance running in the area.

She appealed to the runners to be punctual at the registration point.

Nkosiyazi Sibanda aims for a sixth victory in the marathon.

Bank donates R350 000 to student sport Netshimbulu sends Maweja into final Absa Bank showed its support for student sport when it sponsored a soccer league at the University of Venda with R350 000.

Absa Bank’s provincial head of business banking, Mr Cobus Wells, said his company was happy to be able to contribute towards the development of education in the rural areas.

He said his company realised that the students needed financial and resource assistance. He expressed the hope that, through the partnership, the leagues would improve.

“This is part of our company’s mission of giving something back to the community. We hope other companies will learn that it is important to reward members of the community, because they are the ones who made us what we are today. As a company, it is our obligation to ensure that the society in which we are living is healthy, and sponsoring football is a step in the right direction,” he said.

Univen’s deputy vice-chancellor, Dr Jannie Zaaiman, praised Absa for their decision to sponsor football.

Zaaiman said he was proud of the quality of soccer and administration on the campus.

He said that the Univen league would produce

stars who would receive international recognition soon. Dr Zaaiman described soccer as an important vehicle for harmonious interaction between people.

Dr Jannie Zaaiman (left) received the cheque from Absa Bank’s head of business banking, Mr Cobus Wells.

Maweja Takers secured a place in the final of the Amos Shield Charity Tournament by narrowly beating Tshakhuma Peace Lovers 1-0 at the Tshakhuma Mulangaphuma Stadium on Saturday.

Peace Lovers played the full game with only 10 men, due to the unavailability of the other players.

They managed, however, to match Maweja pound for pound for the whole match. The absence of the Lovers’ left-footed striker, Zwanga Muvhango, was evident from the start. Muvhango watched the game from the touchline as he was still serving a suspension after seeing red in their game against FC KK at the Malaria grounds two weeks ago.

Dakalo Mudau of Peace Lovers was booked in the 14th minute. He was tackled the rough way, but the referee chose not to reprimand the culprit.

The referee’s decision did not go down well with Mudau and he started to accuse the referee of favoritism.

Realizing that Mudau would not stop pointing fingers at him, the referee showed him yellow.

Maweja effected the first change to their starting line-up nine minutes before the break. They introduced Mashudu Makhari at the expense

of Khuthadzo Munyai. Takers’ sharpshooter, Zwivhuya Tshisaphungo, could not live up to his reputation, because the defenders were all over him.

Pressure mounted on Lovers’ defence with time.

Maweja replaced Khumbudzo Muvhango with Ipfi Muthubi. Muthubi missed a fortune three minutes after his introduction.

His header from close range went wide.

The goal which separated the boys from the men came in the 78th minute. Walter Netshimbulu scored with a header after a corner kick that was taken by Morgan Makhuvha.

The winner was determined by a penalty shootout and United won 7-5. The match was played at Muraleni on Saturday.

Stars would have scored at least three more goals, had it not been for acrobatic goalkeeping by United’s keeper, Faith Ratombo. Godwin Mahuwa was a difficult man to mark. He eluded the Stars defence as he kept running from the start of the match.

Oscar Ramantswana of Stars scored after he received a good pass from Maanda Magoro. That

was the only goal of the first half.

Melton Nembidzane of United equalised in the 56th minute. Against the run of play, he caught the opponent’s keeper off guard.

The goal acted as a catalyst for Stars. It was therefore not surprising when Maanda Magoro of Stars put his side ahead. He scored from 20 meters with a marvellous shot.

Stars cored their third gaol via Villa Thathaisa in the 60th minute. Phathutshedzo Livhalani of United then scored with a blistering shot that beat Aluwani Mbedzi of Maweja Takers controls the Stars keeper. He completed his brace by scoring the high ball, while Pfarelo Netshiheni of Peace the equaliser late in the match.

Dunga Munganga of Leopards hooks the ball.

Black Leopards tasted the pain of losing a league match this season, when they lost 0-2 to Cape Town All Stars in their NFD match at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Sunday.

The home side threatened to score two minutes into the game. Their dribbling wizard, Leonard Ntshangase, was brought down within the box. Instead of blowing the whistle and awarding a penalty to Lidoda Duvha, the referee, Mr Shane Chuma, waved a play-on signal as if nothing had happened. His decision did not go down well with the Leopards’ fans as they started to jeer him.

That was a wake-up call to the team from the mother city. They took the game to the hosts, giving the Leopards’ defenders no time to breathe.

The wheel of fortune turned against Lidoda Duvha in the 24th minute.

Thapelo Mathibe received a pre-

cooked pass from James Mofokeng and beat Leopards’ keeper, Avhashoni Tshinuna, with a half volley. A few minutes later, Leopards’ left wing, Bongani Manana, sustained a knee injury and was replaced with Thembisani Nevhulamba.

Nevhulamba realized that it was not his day when he squandered a clear scoring chance shortly after his introduction. He received a neat pass from Leonard Ntshangase and hesitated for far too long to unleash until he lost possession. Leopards introduced Mxolisi Ntshingila and sacrificed Jabulani Ndebele six minutes into the last half.

Leopards later replaced Morgan Shibambu with Meshack Maphangule. All Stars increased the margin in the 78th minute. Thapelo Mathibe blasted in a rocket, following scramble within the box.
