Vhembe fire services in

A state of collapse?

By Elmon Tshikhudo

Despite continued assurances by the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) that the more than R300 million that was invested with the embattled VBS will not affect service delivery, the fire services department in the municipality seems to be in a state of collapse.

This incapability became evident during recent fires that broke out at different areas in the municipality.

At almost all the fires that the fire department attended, the success rate left much to be desired. In most cases, the fires burnt the properties to the ground while residents watched in disbelief.

A month ago, the luxurious, multimillion-rand Joe Matsila Guest House at Matsila outside Vuwani was demolished by fire.

Nothing was saved. Three weeks ago, rondavels belonging to a late traditional leader at Vhufuli were razed by fire when firefighters failed to contain it.

Recently, a house belonging to well-known reggae musician and former Muvhango actor Mr Jacky Nethomboni was also destroyed by fire at Tshisahulu. Even though the

Ramushwana Fire Station is just a stone’s throw away from Tshisahulu, the musician’s house was completely gutted, and nothing was saved from it.

A fortnight ago, the Johannesburg fire department had to use a fire truck from Capricorn District to carry the casket of the late fireman, Meshack Muedi, during his funeral at Dzwerani as Vhembe did not have a truck.

In the most recent fire, on Monday, community members watched in disbelief at the Kalahari Inn Sibasa as the rondavels at the inn were engulfed in flames, causing thousands of rands in damage.

Firefighters were also not spared as they stood helpless because their water trucks ran empty. The fire, which allegedly started in one of the rondavels, soon spread to other rondavels. Two water tankers from private construction companies arrived with water to help contain the fire, but immense damage had been caused by then.

Many of the people who were at the scene of the fire put the blame squarely on the VDM. “This is poor service and we are blaming our municipality. - Continues on p2

Members of the police took their time in processing the stolen vehicle in which the two suspects tried to flee. Apart from their being arrested, the police also recovered two pistols from the vehicle.

Forces combine to arrest suspected armed robbers

By Andries van Zyl Two suspected armed robbers remain behind bars after being apprehended in a joint operation between the Makhado police, the Soutpansberg Town Watch and the local farm watch in Louis Trichardt’s busy CBD on Tuesday afternoon.

“The possibility of linking the two to several other cases of business robbery in the Makhado policing area can, at this stage, not be ruled out,” said local police spokesperson Const Irene Radzilane, following the incident. By the

time of our going to press, no confirmation could be given that the two suspects had appeared in court yet.

According to Radzilane, the arrests followed a tip-off by a member of the public who reported a suspicious vehicle roaming the town’s CBD with the possibility of committing a business robbery. “The police and other local security structures quickly mobilized as part of an intelligence-driven operation,” said Radzilane.

The two suspects, traveling in a luxury Mercedes Benz, were confronted but tried to flee. They were, however,

forced off the road after a brief chase and boxed in in front of the Dutch Reformed Church in Erasmus Street.

All the drama unfolded around noon and caused huge spectator value. Sprawled out on the hot pavement in the blazing sun lay the two suspects while the police thoroughly searched their vehicle. “Police were able to retrieve two pistols and eight live rounds of ammunition from the vehicle for which the two suspects were unable to produce a firearm license,” said Radzilane. She added that the Mercedes Benz they were traveling in also later turned out to have been stolen in Mokopane earlier this month.

“At this stage, the two men will be charged with the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition, as well as for being in possession of a stolen vehicle,” said Radzilane.

The two suspects are respectively aged 38 and 32, with the older man hailing from Nzhelele and the younger man from Soshanguve.

“We acknowledge all the support we received from all the stakeholders involved in the arrest of the two suspects.

This is again proof that, by working together, we can achieve positive results,” said Radzilane.

TBF takes the VBS fight to Nedbank

By Elmon Tshikhudo Concerned residents of Vhembe who are worried about the future of VBS are to march to highlight their plight.

The demonstrators, led by the Thulamela Business Forum (TBF) together with Save VBS, SANCO subregion and other stakeholders, will march from VBS Thohoyandou to the Nedbank Game Centre in Thohoyandou. The demonstration starts at 09:45 on Saturday.

The spokesperson for the TBF, Mr Justice Nedzamba, said the demonstration was an escalation of the resistance against Nedbank’s facilitating VBS clients’ accounts.

He said it was prompted by the fact that the structures felt that Nedbank was not responding to their memorandum after their meeting, which was held at the Khoroni Conference Hall on 3 September, and subsequent e-mail communications between Nedbank and the TBF. He further indicated that Nedbank was facilitating VBS

clients’ accounts against the will of the community, thereby further inconveniencing the depositors. “As Thulamela Business Forum and all the other structures, we are of the view that Nedbank facilitating VBS clients’ accounts is seen as assisting to destroy VBS, which is the legacy of the black people and Vhavenda in particular,” said Mr Nedzamba.

“It is against this background that the planned demonstration is going to take place,” said Nedzamba.

reckons this is part of the reason why presenters are being shuffled when they allow listeners to talk about VBS Mutual Bank on live radio. It is also alleged that Khosikhulu Toni Mphephu Ramabulana uses his close contact with senior management to influence the program schedule and choice of presenters.

Mrs Neo Momodu, SABC spokesperson reacted late on Wednesday afternoon and said that Phalaphala FM’s management didn’t issue a directive on any matter related to VBS Mutual Bank. “The SABC would like to place on record that at no stage did the Phalaphala station management issue a directive instructing employees not to report on any matter, specifically on matters related to VBS. The station therefore continues to discuss and report on stories related to VBS Mutual Bank underpinned by the SABC’s core editorial values of equality, transparency, editorial independence and nation building,” said Momodu.

“This is poor service and we are blaming our municipality.

They have no capacity to fight fires. We saw this fire starting with only one rondavel, but it soon spread as these fire engines ran out of water. The fire could have been contained and not spread to other houses, had they not run out of water.

What surprised us is that other engines arrived, but they too did not have water,” said a resident on the scene. He said they could see the firefighters

were doing their best, but their hands were tied as they did not have adequate equipment.

VDM’s spokesperson, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, said that their team of firefighters had responded swiftly. “We can confirm and accept that we have some challenges, but owners of buildings should also ensure compliance. There is still also a need for awareness campaigns, because our communities are still negligent when it comes to fire. We still find bushes around buildings which become fertile grounds for uncontrolled fires,”

he said.

Ralushai also confirmed that they had purchased two more fire trucks to beef up the existing fleet. He urged communities to be more vigilant against uncontrolled fires.

Limpopo police spokesperson Col Moatshe Ngoepe told Limpopo Mirror that they were busy investigating the fire, but no foul play was suspected at this stage. “Whoever has any information about this fire can help by supplying that information, using our police crime line SMS 32211.”

Persistent calls by the community for legendary musician Colbert Mukwevho to be honoured were finally answered when he received an honorary PhD at the University of Venda (Univen) last Friday.

On Friday, the university’s auditorium erupted into thunderous applause when the reggae icon was called to the podium to receive his honour.

This was during the university’s September graduation ceremony.

The veteran musician received an honorary doctorate in arts and social sciences. During the same event, the musician with more than 200 songs and 20 albums under his belt, gave a taste of the songs that had made him very popular.

He left his fans, who were mostly academics and parents of graduates, eating out of his hands when his band dished up two popular songs from his previous albums.

Leopards boss suspended from PSL’s Executive Committee

en at a meeting of the PSL’s board of governors.

Thidiela allegedly threatened referee Victor Hlungwani and made tribal references after Leopards’ 1-0 defeat to Bloemfontein Celtic at Thohoyandou Stadium a fortnight ago. The board of governors then resolved to place Thidiela on precautionary suspension from the PSL’s executive committee until the matter has been resolved.

In a letter addressed to Pres Cyril Ramaphosa, Hlungwani, PSL league chairman Mr Irvin Khoza, Limpopo Premier Stanley Mathabatha, Safa, the PSL, the South African House of Traditional Leaders in Limpopo, the South African Human Rights Commission, Minister of Sport Tokozile Xasa, and his club, Thidiela says “sorry ... It was not my intention to cause any harm or inconvenience”.

“In retrospect, I believe the situation resulted from

my view that some decisions which the referee made were not acceptable.While this is by no means an excuse for utterances to Hlungwani, I would like to give clarity. My reference to Hlungwani as Shangaan from Giyani was in a brotherhood context and not meant to be derogatory in any way,” writes Thidiela.

He adds that he meant to convey to Hlungwane that, as a person who is from a neighbouring region in very close proximity, he should be well aware “of the struggle the people of this area have waged over the last 10 years or so to have a Premiership club that represents their aspirations”.

He says he understands how his comments could have been “misconstrued, as I was highly emotional and the language I used was unacceptable”.

Thidiela also adds in the letter that he has apologised privately to Hlungwani as well.

A young academic star, Miss Ndivhuwo Mariana Musehane, recently flew to the United Kingdom to study for a PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Newcastle in Northern England.

She completed her secondary education at Tshikevha Christian Secondary School.

After completing Grade 12, she was awarded a bursary at Wits University to do a BSc degree. She excelled academically and completed a BSc honours and Master of Science degree in applied mathematics.

She was awarded the annual Starfield prize for the best project in computational and applied mathematics honours.

She also received a bronze medal and certificate from the South African Mathematical Society as the best honours student in mathematics or applied mathematics.

The award was made in 2013 after she had completed her honours degree.

While many people are complaining about a lack of jobs and the technical recession that has recently hit the country, this man believes he has a solution to these problems.

Born and bred at Ha-Tshikundamalema, outside Tshilamba, 42 years ago, Azwihangwisi Netshiungani says the country can recover from the technical recession if every citizen uses his or her skill to create jobs. Netshiungani, a trained mechanic and panel beater from Vhembe FET, has already produced four panel beaters who are now running their own businesses and employ no fewer than two employees each.

Netshiungani worked for seven years under someone, from 1999 until 2006, and then opened his own business.

“I started my own business because I wanted to be self-employed. The other reason was to create jobs for other people.

Unlike other people who do not want to see their former employees succeed as independent businesspeople, I get more satisfaction to see that my business has contributed to fighting unemployment in our country.”

He added that the good thing was that if more and more people were employed, the communities would be safe from crime and the economy would grow. He prides himself on the satisfaction his customers

receive from his good service.

“I never doubted myself when I decided to open my own business in 2006, because I knew that I was committed to my work. I report to work at 07:00 every day and go home when I feel that I did enough work for the day from Monday to Saturday.”

Netshiungani further emphasized that each citizen should use his or her skills and talent to fight crime and create jobs. “My belief is that if each of us can create two or three jobs, thousands and thousands of people will have something to put on the table. A happy family creates a happy community, which will produce a happy nation,” said Netshiungani.

The fun walk is the brainchild of the chief, in partnership with the Tshisahulu Maanda Ngaupfana Community Association. The 7,5km walk started at the Mbengeni Kone Sports Centre and went to Thivhulawi Primary School

and back.

One of the organisers, Mr Ephraim Maphangwa, the chairperson of the organization, said the idea came from Makumbane that they must exercise as a start towards a healthy living in his community. “As the leadership we embraced the idea. We are excited that many heeded the chief ’s call and came in their numbers to participate.”

Maphangwa said they had roped in the expertise of Dr Norman Mukwevho of Tshilidzini Hospital, who gave a talk on health matters.

Makumbane, who led by

example by walking the full distance, told those gathered that there would not be any heritage if residents did not take charge of their health.

“We need a productive and developmental citizenry. Our country will not develop and move forward if we have a sick nation.”

Makumbane said they were planning to make the event bigger and an annual, if not a quarterly, one.

Mr Tshilidzi Nethonzhe, one of the participants, said they were happy to have a caring chief who was concerned about their health.

Thovhele Thivhulawi Makumbane led by example when he took part in a 7,5km walk on Monday.

Farewell to dedicated EFF member

By Ndivhuwo Musetha The late Elisah Dineo Sakala was hailed as a “soldier”who committed her life to the development of the people until her last breath.

This emerged last Saturday during her funeral at Musina where Sakala was applauded by her comrades from the EFF and a representative from the ANC, Taxi Nare, who is also a councillor for the Musina Local Municipality.

Nare said Sakala kept the officials and councillors of the municipality on their toes because of her persistent demands for service delivery to the people. “As a councillor, I would like to confirm before everybody that Musina Municipality will also miss her, even though she was from an opposition party. Even though she was not a councillor, she always made sure that she came to our offices and demanded that the community got certain services that she felt were not provided accordingly.”

He added that Sakala had committed her life to fighting for the

community, even though she was just an ordinary member of the EFF. Adv Rendani Munyai, an EFF member in the Limpopo Legislature, described Sakala as a fallen hero who had worked hard for the development of her community in Musina. “Since she joined the EFF five years ago, she never fought for a position, but she made sure that she fought for people’s rights. Because of her outspoken nature, Sakala even confronted the EFF leadership directly at the provincial level and expressed her concerns about the party’s affairs,” she added.

Sakala was born in Musina on 29 September 1965. She attended Makushu Primary and Musina High. At school she was very good in athletics.

She was married to Alpheus Malatji and they have three

children. She is also survived by her father, Enoch, and mother, Maria, her three sisters and a brother.

She passed away on 10 September after a short illness.

Second album for Precious

By Elmon Tshikhudo Initially she was just a backup singer taking the backstage. As time went on, Precious Rofhiwa Rambau showed immense talent that no local producer could shy away from.

She started off backing well-known gospel star and producer Jerry N but went on to record her first album, Muphulusi, in 2016.

Following on the success of her first album, the 25-year-old Precious RN, as she is known in music circles, has bounced back with her guns blazing, recently releasing her second album, Vho Vhonani.

The 10-track album received a warm welcome by her staunch fans. The album was recorded at Plannedcrew Studio and produced by veteran gospel musician Jerry Navhani.

It boasts powerful tracks; among others, the title track Vho Vhonani, A Thi Lileli Nama and Ke Na Le Moemedi.

About her new album, Precious N said it was inspired by the love God had shown her. “God has done great things for me and I do not see any reason as to why He made me so special.

The track Vho Vhonani is a question I am posing to my God. I am so humbled that I think do not deserve all this glory and blessings.

I am also extending this question to my fans, whom I believe have never asked themselves why God made them special and favoured them,” she said.

She thanked all her fans for the massive support they have given her since the start of her career.

Her producer, Jerry N, said he discovered her while in church and they had never looked back.

“She has a golden voice and she is easy to work with as she understands her work. She has all the potential to make it in this industry,” said Navami.

The album is available at Dakota Louis Trichardt and those wishing to get copies and Gospel’s rising star, Precious RN, for bookings can call: who recently released her second 076 609 8210. album, Vho Vhonani.

A SATMA for Gman Mabasa?

The presenter of the Phalaphala FM Tshivenda Music programme, Nambi ya dzi Nambi, Godfrey “Gman” Mabasa has been nominated as best traditional radio presenter for the 13th South African Traditional Music Awards (SATMA).

The event will take place in the Northwest Province tomorrow (Saturday).

Mabasa believes that every person needs to surround him- or herself with positive people who utter words of encouragement. He started his schooling at Tshino Primary School. He then went to Edison Nesengani Secondary, but later moved to Tshipakoni Secondary School in 2002, where he matriculated in 2004.

In 2006, he went to Univen to do a degree in international relations but dropped out and went looking for greener pastures in Johannesburg. Once he had arrived in Gauteng, Godfrey ended up working as a waiter and did some odd jobs for subsistence.

He returned to Vhembe in 2009 and joined Univen FM. He received his BA in International Relations in 2013.

“I then joined the SABC in November 2013,” he said.

“I am that kind of person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience.”

Mabasa says he is not yet satisfied by his recent success as he plans to achieve more in life.

He adds that he is still young

and still has more to offer to the community. “I need more skills to improve myself in my work environment.”

He urges the youth to be serious with their education, so that they can make a significant contribution to the community in which they live. “Youths must stay away from drugs and criminal activities and prepare themselves for careers that will benefit them in life.” He also mentions that he is hungry for success and works hard to succeed. Mabasa believes that he will come back with the trophy.

He appeals to everyone to vote for him before midnight today.

The programme manager at Phalaphala FM, Ms Sharon Ravele, believes Mabasa will come back with an award for the station. She appeals to voters to vote for him. SMS SATMA 433 best traditional radio presenter of the year to 33888 if readers want to support Mabasa.

PHALAPHALA WEEKEND PROGRAMME SCHEDULE 2017/18 SATURDAY

Pilato Bulala is seen in this picture with an iron giraffe that An accomplished artist, Pilato Bulala makes ear- he had made from rings and necklaces by using old cans. vehicle engine cams.

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho A resident of the Zama-Zama section of Tshivhuyuni village, Pilato Bulala, is an artist whose art speaks for itself as it is displayed in the courtyard of his home.

He collects discarded cans, iron and other related debris and fashions them into art pieces which make art lovers flood to his studio from different corners of the world. Through the years, he has had visitors from Germany, England, Holland and most African countries who have all admired and bought some of his work.

“I may be young, but I am enjoying the kind of popularity and fame that many people only dream of,” he said.

“Despite some challenges that limit me as an artist, I am confident in what I am doing, to an extent that I am not

shy to climb to the rooftops and shout that I am living my dream.”

When he started off as an artist, he had no space to store and exhibit his artefacts and figurines. However, he had a sister who let him use the front side of her yard as a display area. Even today, Pilato does not have electricity at his new home. “I do most of my work from my brother’s place and move them to my place,” he said.

According to Madi a Thavha, which is a hub of promotion for Vhembe District’s artists, Bulala had coined a word ‘scraptures,’ because most of his work is made from scrap metal and iron which he collects by the roadsides, scrapyards and the bushes.

“We have been supporting this determined young man with training and marketing ever since,” said Marcelle Bosch of Madi a Thavha. “He

has been to several of Madi a Thavha’s exhibitions and workshops where he learned to weld, how to make tin jewellery and got some exposure to national and international craft markets.

He recently went to a couple of trade and tourist shows in Johannesburg too.”

One other thing that is important about this artist is that he is able to express himself in an amazing way when he speaks about his art and ‘scraptures’.

He becomes very enthusiastic when he welcomes vistors to his mud-brick rondavel gallery, describing every ‘scrapture’ and the social history behind it. “People are welcome to visit the gallery and view my art free of charge,” he said.

Bulala can be phoned on 072 343 1202.

Laughter Mudzielwana releases new CD, No Weapon

By Silas Nduvheni A young man from the rural village of Matavhela outside Mutale, Laughter Mudzielwana, has just released his single solo album, No Weapon.

The 22-year-old is the son of Pastor Wilson Mudzielwana of the Agapé Church.

According to Mudzielwana, being born in a rural village does not mean that one cannot reach the sky if he or she is determined. “It is all about hard work and determination that can put you higher and higher.”

Laughter is doing his second year

sound engineering and technology at South West Media College in Johannesburg and said education came first.

“I thank God for everything that I am doing in my life; all the glory belongs to God. To my parents, Pastor Wilson Mudzielwana and wife Nancy, friends and supporters, as long as we know that God is for us, it doesn’t matter who is against us. We are winners and not losers, we are above and not beneath,” said Mudzielwana.

No Weapon was produced by Laughter Mudzielwana and recorded at South West Records & MB Records, in Johannesburg.

For bookings and live performances,

Certificates for 14 young virgins

By Silas Nduvheni A group of 14 virgins received certificates on Monday as part of a Heritage Day celebration that was held at the Christ Worship Centre, Shayandima.

A community member, Ms Khodani Mudzanani, said they had decided to preserve their living heritage by honouring young girls who had been tested for virginity with certificates of appreciation. “We are remembering our living heritage through wearing Tshivenda traditional attire such as minwenda, singing traditional songs and dances. Our young

girls, who paraded in front of us, are real virgins who never had sexual intercourse,” said Mudzanani.

She said that the girls had volunteered to be tested for virginity and were aged between 13 and 23 years of age. “They are proud of their clean bodies and the Shayandima and surrounding communities are delighted.”

According to Apostle Ramudzuli Lehangwa, the Vhavenda people must teach their children to preserve culture and tradition “and we must let them to know that they are what they are because of their culture. We encourage other

parents to send their children for this heritage and cultural event,” he added.

According to Lehangwa, virginity testing also helps the young girls to abstain from sexual practices that result in teenage pregnancies. He added that part of virginity testing also motivated the young girls to concentrate on educational matters.

One of the young girls who were tested for virginity, Sharon Mavhungu (23), said to be tested for virginity would help her to take pride in herself because sex before marriage was a sin and one needed to be proud of being a clean girl.

She added that the ritual, which involves the beating of drums, meditating and spilling of sorghum beer at a sacred place, was a way to reconnect with the ancestors, telling them of the challenges they were facing.

“This is our heritage and we will never shy away from it, and if we all go back to our roots, everything will be well with us and there will be peace and stability everywhere,” said Nemaungani.

Tuwani made a public call for Tshivenda poetry anthologists to consider including all poets who had opened the path for the new generation in any new anthologies, so that the new generation would have knowledge of the genesis of Tshivenda poetry and earlier poets.

“If you exclude poets such as Daniel M Ngwana in any school anthology, do you think you are doing that anthology justice?” he said.

“There’s hardly any inclusion of Ngwana’s poems in anthologies and this exclusion serves to deny the generation of today a relevant history about Tshivenda poetry. Let’s continue to celebrate our writers, those who are no longer with us and the ones who are still with us.”

The district manager in the Department of Health in Vhembe, Mr Robert Sirwali, has issued a strong warning to parents and relatives of people living with a mental illness to stop abusing patients’ funds. He was recently addressing the Phiphidi communities and mentally ill patients during an initiative of the Phiphidi clinic, in partnership with Boxer Sibasa, the Denga Tshivhase Royal Council initiative and the ET Mathivha Foundation. “We urge the communities in Phiphidi and surroundings to treat the mentally ill people with respect; they are also human beings like you,” said Sirwali. The founder of the ET Mathivha Foundation, Mr Elias Mathivha, said his foundation supported the primary health-care system, which is related to the awareness campaign that is supported by the Department of Health.

New chief for Tshikhwani village

By Kaizer Nengovhela Members of the community and several traditional leaders around the Vhembe District witnessed the installation of the new chief of Tshikhwani village two weeks ago.

The new chief, Mbulaheni Ramabulana, was finally installed as chief of the Tshikhwani village under Thovhele Vho-Rudzani Sinthumule. Ramabulana was installed in the presence of other traditional leaders, local politicians and

hundreds of members from the local community and the surrounding areas.

Chief Ramabulana succeeds Chief Tshiwandalani Johannes Ramabulana, who passed away in 2013.

Thovhele Vho-Vele Kutama, who conducted the installation, said that a new chapter in the village leadership had started. He said the father of the new chief had been a hardworking man who had strived for the development of his village. He urged Mbulaheni Ramabulana to follow in his father’s footsteps

because much still remained to be done to develop Tshikhwani village.

“We want development in our area and we have taken the lead by starting community-driven projects. We hope that you will all follow suit, so that your subjects will reap the fruits of this democracy,” he said.

He urged the new chief to look after the interests of the poor and urged the community to give the utmost support and respect to their leaders. He advised the new chief to work for the people and to support the government. He told him to refrain from bad habits, stressing that political parties should respect their chief since they are the leaders of their communities.

The mayor of Vhembe District Municipality, Cllr Florence Radzilani, said that she attended the ceremony to emphasise the strength of the relationship between traditional leaders and politicians. “When I know the leader in this community, it helps us (politicians) to deliver service in a transparent manner and to understand the needs of the people,” said Radzilani.

Chief Mbulaheni Ramabulana said it was a great day for his people and that he was aware of the challenges ahead of him. He said his immediate attention would be to engage the relevant authorities to develop the village.

Seani had learned from fellow female engineers who had already made it in the industry that the biggest challenge for many female engineers was that they were underestimated and were scarcely being given an opportunity to take on challenging responsibilities.

“As a woman you are in a way seen as a risk in the work place,” she said. “It’s just a negative stereotype – where women are associated with simpler tasks. My line of work entails improving, developing and initiating growth of the built environment and operational infrastructure, talking from the structural side of civil engineering.”

She added: “I think having women in the industry has been inevitable; however, we are still not treated according to our knowledge and skill set. In a way, it’s a blessing in disguise because it channels you to be patient, observant and brings out the problem solver in you.”

In conclusion, Madonsela stated that women needed to be equally recognised in this field and to be celebrated for their achievements when they hold leadership positions in the industry.

Ndou said that it was a dream come true and that he would continue to engage other businesspeople in developing this province.

According to the secretary of the ANC Women’s League in Ward 7, Ms Skenkie Tshidavhu, the donation of the house is historical because it is the first time that a women’s organisation has assisted a struggling family in such a way.

“We decided to build this family a modern house. Most of the time here in our municipality, houses are donated either by businesses, churches or non-government organizations.”

Gogo Tlou said that it was the happiest day of her life. “No words can express my happiness and gratitude. I really thank the Women’s League and everyone who contributed to the realization of my dream of owning a decent house.”

Mopane Intermediate School recently hosted the Vhembe Region 2018 Arbor Day’s main event. Representatives from the Department of Education (DoE), in partnership with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), were the chief patrons of the event. Twenty indigenous trees were donated to Mopane Intermediate School.

Westhuizen.

The current season is drawing to a close fast, with the last deliveries reaching many handlers in mid-September.

Flowering has commenced and is looking promising. It is, however, too early to make predictions about the 2019 crop since much depends on weather conditions, said SAMAC. Flowering is unfortunately a poor indication of crop outlooks, since nuts drop naturally towards the end of spring, a phenomenon referred to as the “November drop”.

Furthermore, said SAMAC, the prospects for El Niño is also a possibility based on recent weather predictions. “Nuts set on flowers depend on water supply, humidity and other factors, while trees’ ability to hold on to the nuts depend much on water supply,” said SAMAC.

’n Prospekteerreg (LP30/5/1/1/2/1276PR) oor die Cygnus 549 MS-eiendom is aan UCDV toegestaan, en daar word tans om ’n mynreg ten opsigte van steenkoolmynbedryf op die eiendom aansoek gedoen. Die projek gee aanleiding tot aktiwiteite wat gelys word ingevolge Lystingskennisgewing 1 (Aktiwiteit 12 en 24) en Lystingskennisgewing 2 (Aktiwiteit 7, 16, 17 en 21) en Lystingskennisgewing 3 (Aktiwiteit 4, 10, 12 en 14) van die NEMA (soos gewysig) en benodig ’n EA van die Departement van Minerale Hulpbronne (DMR), Limpopo Provinsie. Die beoogde gebiede vir voorraadstapeling en storting van harde en sagte materiaal sal aanleiding gee tot aktiwiteite gelys in GNR 921 (Kategorie B: Aktiwiteit 7, 8 en 10) van die NEM: WA en benodig dus ’n WML van die DMR. ’n Volledige Omgewingsimpakbepaling (EIA), insluitend Omvangsbepaling en Impakbepaling, sal onderneem word, soos bepaal in GNR 982 van die NEMA en GNR921 van die NEM: WA. Die beoogde myn benodig ook ’n WUL vir watergebruike soos omskryf in artikel 21 van die Nasionale Waterwet, 1998 (Wet 36 van 1998) (NWA). Die watergebruike waarom aansoek gedoen word sluit artikel 21(a), (c) & (i), (g) en 21(j) in.

Die myn sal soos volg ontwikkel word: • • •

Een oopgroefblok sal vir ’n tydperk van agt jaar ontgin word deur van die vragmotor-en-graaf oopgroefmetode van mynbou gebruik te maak; Sodra oopgroefreserwes uitgeput is (na ’n verwagte ontginningstydperk van agt jaar), sal ’n ondergrondse mynboubedryf geïmplementeer word; en Drie beoogde afvalstortingsterreine, een elk vir bogrond, sagte afvalmateriaal en harde afvalmateriaal, sal gebruik word om die vervoer van bolaagmateriaal oor buitensporige afstande te beperk.

Die mynleeftyd (LOM) vir Cygnus is ongeveer 12 jaar.

Die meeste van die benodigde myninfrastruktuur vir die projekgebied sal op die LP30/5/1/1/2/376PR Prospekteerreg-gebied opgerig word en sal op die plaas Matsuri 358MS aan die suidekant van die Cygnus-projekgebied geleë wees.

Venda Muslim Jamaat donate food to needy households in Mavhola and Ngwenani

By Elmon Tshikhudo Lady luck came smiling at the poorest of the poor and the most disadvantaged at Mavhola and Ngwenani village on Sunday.

The residents of the towns outside Thohoyandou received groceries that will last them for a while, thanks to the generosity of Indian businesspeople under the umbrella of the Venda Muslim Jamaat, who have taken it upon themselves to look after the destitute.

As part of their social responsibility,

they monthly identify a disadvantaged community and donate groceries that include a 25kg bag of mielie meal to 140 households and the local crèche or dropin centre. The business owners were led by well-known businessman Mr Vaheed Patel.

So far, the group has assisted more than 1 500 needy households in the Vhembe region.

During their visit at the village, the business group also held a party for the disadvantaged children from the local drop-in centre.

Speaking during the event, tradition-

al leader Vhakoma Vho Nyawasedza Tshintshi of Mavhola commended the business people for their generosity towards her own people. She said there were many businesses in her community, but they were not doing anything to improve the lives of the local people.

“We are very humbled as a poor community. We have many needy people here and the donation will go a long way in making a difference in this community,” she said.

Mr Patel said nothing made them happier than seeing the happy faces of the children and the parents.

Learners from Nyatema Primary School participated in the Vhembe District final of the Foundation Learning Campaign competition that was held at the Makhado show grounds last Wednesday.

R6 million project launched to create jobs

By Kaizer Nengovhela Expectations are high among the unemployed around the Kutama area where a R6 million environmental project, initiated by the Radzambo Cultural Foundation and the Department of Environmental Affairs, was officially launched two weeks ago.

Fifty-five community members from poor families in eight villages around the Kutama area will be employed for the project.

Chief Livhuwani Matsila of the Matsila Development Trust and the Radzambo Cultural Foundation visited senior traditional leaders and members of the various communities around Vhembe last year, conducting workshops on how to fight poverty.

Matsila came up with proposals on how to change the communities from

begging communities to productive communities through sustainable projects. The focus was on agriculture, tourism, arts and crafts and the environment as a means to ease unemployment and poverty in villages.

“As traditional leaders, we should always be seeking ways to empower our communities and create employment opportunities for them. I can confidently say that we are doing well in this regard, but some of our colleagues are lagging,” he said. Chief Matsila, who has embarked on a campaign to help other traditional leaders on issues of development, said he was humbled by the invitation. “As traditional leaders we are tasked with looking after our subjects, and we can achieve this if we assist each other. For me, rural development has become a passion that I will preach wherever I go.”

According to Mr Mbulaheni Nethavhakone from the Department of Environmental Affairs in Vhembe, the project will start in October and is expected to span three years. About 55 jobs will be created. Nethavhakone said that, as part of the project, sickle bush will be removed. All invasive species will be removed, which will allow indigenous plants and grass to grow again.

Nethavhakone said that the project would bring relief to the area as it would provide jobs. “This is a true reflection of what service delivery is all about. We will continue to make sure that our people are being taken care of because they deserve it.”

Thovhele Vele Kutama was on cloud nine during the occasion. “We have no doubt that this project will play a meaningful role in uplifting the standard of life of our people,” he said.

Their final game against Cobra Stars was evenly contested. Stars were the superiors when it came to ball possession in the first half, while things changed for Pull Together in the last half. Cobra Stars were the first to blow the trumpet.

They opened their account in the 26th minute. Thembuluwo Mabula forced his way through the defence of Pull Together and beat the keeper with a ground cutter.

They came close to scoring again moments thereafter when Gudani Makhado unleashed a half volley from the edge of the box. The ball went a little wide. Cobra Stars enjoyed the lead until the proceedings for the first half came to an end. Pull Together did not lose hope, even though time was fast running out for them.

They found the equalizer in the 84th minute. Mutshidzi Singo headed home, following a scramble within the box. The winner was determined through penalty shoot-out.

Pull Together converted four of their five chances while Cobra Stars scored only two from the white spot.

Pull Together received soccer kit, a floating trophy and gold medals during a ceremony held at the grounds shortly after the final whistle.

Fundraising gala for Madombidzha Arsenal

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho Running a football team entails securing funds for the team's administrative purposes, such as office material, transport and soccer kits.

Many teams in the rural areas still find it hard to generate enough funds

to run the team.

That was heard during the fundraising gala that was hosted by Madombidzha Arsenal FC on Saturday evening.

“The purpose of the event is to bring together all management members, community members and possible sponsors to integrate and raise funds,”

Some of the people who attended the event are (from left to right) Mr Zwiito Makhode, Ms Mashudu Muremi, Ms Dakalo Malange and Ms Mutshutshu Sadiki.

said the team's representative, Mr Mashudu “Vonk” Sinthumule. “It's never been easy for a soccer team to raise monies for the team's administration, but we are such a strong management team who work together in ensuring that we reach our goal.”

He stated that the team's main objective was to discover, nurture and develop young stars to become professional players in national teams. One such recent good story to tell is Rendani Maduwa, who earned himself a place in the Black Leopards side as a second goalkeeper.

“The fundraising puts the team on the level of its own, whereby whoever wants to associate with it can realise that we prefer quality in whatever we do in the team,” he said. “We encourage the players to always believe in helping needy people and that people should engage themselves in social responsibility work.”

A Brand Called YOU! was one of the event's main sponsors, and the brand's co-director, Mr Peter Mbelengwa, stated that they supported the vision of the soccer team because they believed in community building.

“We continue to cement our relationship with the team since we have a lot in common: social cohesion, uniting people and identity,” Mbelengwa said. “We view this relation as a partnership more than a sponsorship.

We want to build a long-term relationship with Arsenal, not a one-night stand. We get involved in sports affairs to promote community development, create platforms that would take youths out of substance and alcohol abuse. We motivate youths and contribute towards building a healthy community.”

The other NFD fixtures are: TS Sporting vs That is where the much-awaited NFD match Ubuntu Cape Town, Stellenbosch FC vs Real between Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila Kings, Royal Eagles vs Uthongathi, University of (TTM) and Jomo Cosmos will be played.

Pretoria vs Maccabi FC, Cape Umoya United vs TTM must win the match at all cost in order Mbombela United, TS Galaxy vs Witbank Spurs to maintain their leadership on the log. and Richards Bay vs Ajax Cape Town.

A quick glance at TTM’s track record shows that Cosmos will be lucky if, by chance, they manage to hold Vhadau vha Damani to a draw. The Tshakhuma side have won all three matches they have played at home so far. They collected maximum points against Cape Umoya, TS Galaxy and Real Kings and drew with Uthongathi and Royal Eagles.

Cosmos’ forwards will not find it easy against the defenders of TTM, Carlington Nyadombo, Lebohang Mabotja and Tshepo Makgoga. The combination of Edward Manqele, David Zulu and Ononogbu Onyedikachi in TTM’s striking force has the potential to keep the opposition defence running for cover throughout the game.

Aluwani “Killer” Nedzamba, the TTM sharpshooter, is a doubtful starter tomorrow.

He was replaced by David Zulu in their game against Cape Umoya United at the Thohoyandou Stadium last Sunday after sustaining a knee injury.

Lim’s PSL teams in local derby

By Frank Mavhungu The Thohoyandou Stadium will be the best place to be next Wednesday evening (October 3). The much-talked-about Limpopo Absa Premiership between Black Leopards and Baroka FC will be staged there.

Both Black Leopards and Baroka are in shock after losing their matches last weekend. Baroka suffered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Orlando Pirates at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane last Saturday. Lidoda Duvha were the hardest hit last weekend. They were brutally walloped 0-4 by SuperSport United at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.

Leopards’ head coach, Mr Joel “The Prophet” Masutha, said they had put the defeat behind them and they were ready to restore their lost pride at the expense of Baroka.

Masutha attributed the team’s defeat to some of the players’ health condition on the day of the match. According to him, four of his players, including their Lesotho international, Tumelo Khutlang, were complaining of running stomachs before the game.

Leopards’ centre back, Jean Munganga, who watched their game against SuperSport United from the grandstand because of injury, will

be available for selection. Should he be given a chance, Munganga is poised to form a good combination with Marks Munyai, Thivhavhudzi Ndou and Pentjie Zulu at the back, while Phathutshedzo Nange and Eden Nene will make things happen in the middle of the park.

The game is scheduled to start at 19:30.

Orlando Pirates will host Golden Arrows at the Orlando Stadium, while Free State Stars will travel to Port Elizabeth for their match against Chippa United.

Bloemfontein Celtic and Mamelodi Sundowns will meet at the Dr Molemela Stadium in Bloemfontein.

The fixtures for next Tuesday, 2 October, are: Polokwane City vs Supersport United, Cape Town City vs Bidvest Wits, HighBlack Leopards’ lands Park vs Kaizer Chiefs and Amazulu vs playmaker, Phathutshedzo Nange.

Double blow for Leopards

By Frank Mavhungu

Chris Matombo of Black Leopards was reprimanded with a card for dangerous play in the 57th minute. Jemondre Dickens of Baroka found himself on the wrong side of the football laws two minutes afterwards. He had kicked the Leopards’ keeper, Lutho Mbanjwa.

Baroka took the lead in the 78th minute through Pabalelo Mowa.

The defeat was the third in a row for Black Leopards.

They lost 1-2 to Orlando Pirates and 0-1 to Bloemfontein Celtic before suffering the 0-4 drubbing last Sunday.

Lidoda Duvha are now languishing at the bottom of the log, following the three defeats. They are tied on five points with Baroka FC, Chippa United and Maritzburg United.

Black Leopards are still battling to come to terms with what happened to them last weekend.

The senior team lost 0-4 to SuperSport United in their Absa Premiership League match at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria on Sunday. Their Multichoice Diski Challenge (MDC) side donated points to Baroka FC, following their 1-2 defeat at the Thohoyandou Stadium the previous day.

It took SuperSport United only two minutes to take the lead. James Keene beat the keeper with a diving header.

Aubrey Modiba doubled the lead for Matsatsantsa in the 34th minute. Evans Rusike made it 3-0 about 20 minutes before the end of the game, but that was not the end of Leopards’ woes. James Keene completed his brace three minutes before the final whistle.

Back in Thohoyandou, the MDC Leopards were the first to find the net.

Their solitary goal came two minutes before the referee, Mr Henson Brett, blew the half-time whistle.

The visitors from Polokwane came back strongly in the last half. They even effected three changes to their starting line-up in a bid to enhance their Bheki Maliba of Baroka controls the ball, while Tshepang scoring chances.

Moremedi of Leopards is on his heels.

Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) continued to pave their way to the Absa Premiership Division by beating Cape Umoya

United 1-0 in their NFD League match at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Sunday.

The local lads deserved to win and played entertaining football from the onset.

The referee, Mr Thokozani Mkhize, flashed the first yellow card in the ninth minute. TTM’s midfielder, Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo, tackled Wangu Gome the rough way, prompting the whistleman to flash yellow. TTM came close to scoring in the 14th minute. Edward Manqele caused an upset by shooting straight to the keeper, following a neat pass from Aluwani Nedzamba.

Realizing that their scoring chances were slim, Umoya abandoned their positions and played defensive football, relying on counter-attacks.

The only time the Cape Town side threatened to score was when Brandon Theron unleashed a half volley from the right corner in the 27th minute. Tshepo Ramaele, the TTM keeper, braved the shot and palmed the ball away for a corner kick. The goal that earned TTM the three points came two minutes before the half-time whistle.

Edward Manqele hooked in the ball after an excellent pass from Carlington Nyadombo.

The visitors replaced the team’s captain, Wangu Gome, with Nathan Paulse three minutes into the last half. TTM responded by replacing Edward Manqele with Khotso Chabeli.

TTM squandered three obvious scoring chances within a short space of time. Aluwani “Killer” Nedzamba missed a sitter in the 65th minute, and he was replaced with David Zulu.

Roscoe Peterson, the Umoya defender, was reprimanded with a card, following a continued argument with the referee in the 76th minute.

Carlington Nyadombo of TTM was also warned with a card for wasting time towards the end of the game.
