Vuwani situation to normalise on Monday?

By Kaizer Nengovhela The situation at Vuwani can return to normality soon, after four Ministers met with Khosikhulu Vho-Toni Mphephu Ramabulana, senior traditional leaders from the affected area and different structures at the King’s kraal in Dzanani on Tuesday. As negotiations had reportedly gone well, the matter of bail for the accused in the public violence cases might be the stumbling block. (See a separate report on the case on page 2).

with the King are Michael Masutha (justice and constitutional development), Nathi Nhleko (police), David Mahlobo (state security) and Des van Rooyen (co-operative governance).

Life has come to a standstill in Vuwani, with services as well as schooling and business operations remaining suspended in Vuwani and surrounding villages.

The month-long protest action has seen schooling suspended because residents do not want their areas to be included into a new municipality in the Vhembe region.

Community members are pro-

testing against their inclusion into the new Malamulele council instead of the Makhado Municipality.

Residents want the municipal demarcation board to reverse the decision to remove them from the Makhado Municipality and include them in a new municipality. At least 24 schools have been torched or vandalised by the protesters and pupils are roaming in the streets of the different villages. Businesses and government offices are still shut down, with the police continuing to maintain a strong presence in the area.

Well-known taxi boss buried

Bail for the Vuwani public violence accused?

All the accused arrested for public violence at Vuwani will hopefully know today (Friday) if they will be released on bail.

Since the arrests and subsequent appearance at Malamulele and Thohoyandou of those suspected of being behind the violence in Vuwani and parts of Thulamela, which has put life in the areas on hold, only the names of councillor Gideon Tshavhuyo and educator Mr Edzisani Muthathe have been mentioned.

Those appearing at Malamulele are: Rothe Ratshifheti (21), Frank Muthathe (50), Simon Ravele (28), Lyborn Malaudzi (38), Itani Mahosi (26), Bushy Fhedzisani (35), Dakalo Mahosi (19), Gideon Tshavhuyo (38), Prince Mashamba (29), Nicholas Hlungwani (27), Ndwamato Mugwena (26), Rodney Davhana (21), Hulisani Mushavhela (19), Remember Mavhandu (23), Tiyiselani Hlungwani (19), Kenneth Radzilani (20), Takalani Munyai (19) and

Meanwhile, community structures pointed out during a meeting on Tuesday with ministers at King Toni Mphephu’s guest house that the release of residents would fconstitute good grounds for further consultations in an effort to normalize the situation in the area.

There is still no life in Vuwani, with businesses still closed and only a few pupils reporting at their respective schools.

‘Inter-ministerial team make significant progress’ From page 1 After the meeting, Justice Minister Michael Masutha said an increasing number of pupils, parents and teachers wanted to resume with teaching in the area. Mr Mahlobo added that the inter-ministerial team on Vuwani had made significant progress in ensuring that normality was

slowly being restored in the area. Mahlobo says there were still other areas of concern that needed to be looked at. “We think significant progress has been made and there is still some work that needs to be done, but there are other areas where we are still struggling.” He also applauded the commitment shown by traditional leaders

that the time that pupils had lost should be regained.

Some community structures in Vuwani say the shutdown of services will only be suspended if the 18 arrested residents are released on bail.

One of the residents, who wants to remain anonymous, said they had met with the King and were pleading with the police to stop harassing them.

“What was agreed upon was that we requested the King to help the negotiations. There are some of conditions that we have submitted to him to engage with the office of the ministers involved. We will not suspend the shutdown if there are people who are still in custody and will be denied bail. Secondly, we want to see the police stop harassing people, especially in the Vyeboom area, because that Ministers David Mahlobo, Nathi Nhleko and Des van Rooyen, photographed with Khosikhulu is where they are using extensive force.”

Three in court for murder Three men briefly appeared in the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court on Monday, following the murder of Mr Nthambeleni Daniel Mudau (55). Mudau’s blood-soaked body was discovered at the gate of a well-nown tavern at Tsianda village in the Mashamba area on 15 May this year.

According to the spokesperson of the Levubu Police, W/O Solly Mukhola, the suspects are residents of Tsianda. They were arrested last Friday.

Nthabeleni Sikhorobo (35), Mulalo Rammese (22) and Colbert Rammese (31) were not asked to plead. The case was postponed to 8 June. They will stay in custody until their next court date. Mukhola revealed that the arrest was the result of the sound relationship between the police and the local residents.

He further stated that the police started to receive positive information from concerned residents from

the day of murder. Mudau’s murder is a matter of great concern to the local residents. That became evident when several meetings were held by residents at the local tribal office premises.

One of the meetings held on Sunday, 15 May, was characterized by emotional utterances, with residents threatening to take the law into their own hands.

At the meeting residents pointed out that they had lost trust in the police services. They cited an incident where local resident Matimba Emmanuel Tshikalange, who was arrested for murder towards the end of last year, escaped from police custody in January.

A local traditional leader, Thovhele Vho-Pfuluwani Netsianda, addressed the residents during the meeting. He appealed to them to be calm and furnish the police with the information that would lead to the arrest of Mudau’s killers.

Teachers and pupils afraid of intimidation Pupils around some villages in Vuwani, Mashau and surrounding areas could be seen in the streets in their uniforms, returning to school earlier this week, but they had to go back home as they found their schools locked and empty.

According to many observers, teachers and pupils in Vuwani and surrounding villages are still afraid to return to school because of possible intimidation. Various stakeholders are appealing to parents to send their children back to school as no schooling has taken place in the area for a month.

As can be expected in the wake of violent protests in the area, during which a large number of schools were torched or vandalised, learning and teaching resumed slowly. It was also reported that a classroom at Mawela Primary in Masakona area at Serani village was destroyed last

Sunday night.

An inter-ministerial team engaged with community structures and traditional leaders during the past week with the aim of restoring normality to the area.

Classes were scheduled to resume on 16 May, but this has not been the case in all the affected schools as mobile classrooms were still being delivered, without furniture. Some pupils spent the day cleaning the damaged classrooms and then returned home. Chief Livhuwani Matsila said that if teachers claimed they had been intimidated, why that had not been the case with pupils. “Pupils have been going to schools, only to find no teachers.

I think at some stage the department will have to take action against those teachers, because the area is slowly getting back to normal. Ordinary members of the public have made it clear that

they will guard all the schools against the organised syndicates that have been burning schools,” he said.

The education department’s spokesperson, Dr Naledzani Rasila, said the department had been tipped off about threats that had triggered fear among pupils and teachers. He said that teachers from different schools reported for duty to their respective circuit offices. He confirmed that some of the pupils and teachers were still not reporting to schools.

Rasila said some pupils who wanted to go to school were returning home as the gates at some schools in the area were still locked. He said that they expected the pupils and teachers to return to school soon. Some pupils still stayed at home, while others around the country are busy with mid-year examinations.

There is still no schooling around the Mashau area.

For finest quality in all MENS CLOTHING and SHOES

Pupils from some villages in the Vuwani area are receiving educational lessons from the Munna Ndi Nnyi organisation, so that they can continue with their syllabi, even as incidents of unrest continue in their area.

A team of university-level students is responsible for teaching and giving lessons to more than 180 pupils. The fact is, said the director of Munna Ndi Nnyi, Mr Bardwell Mufunwaini, that the number of present pupils increases every day by more than 20 new learners.

Mufunwaini said that the organisation appealed to the government to strike a balance when they handled the Vuwani issues. “They must think about these youths who will suffer more if schools are not opened in their area,” he said.

“As Munna Ndi Nnyi, we are by no means interfering with what the Vuwani residents are doing or fighting for as everyone of us has got his/her own rights. Here, now, we are speaking about the future of these poor children.”

Pupils complain that they come from families where their parents are unemployed and that travelling to and from Lwamondo is a big challenge. “My mother borrows money from other people for my transport fares,” said a 16-year-old pupil. “I feel sorry for my mother, because I know it is going to be difficult for her to pay that money back. She is unemployed.”

Another 18-year-old Grade 12

pupil from Vuwani residential area said that the media were continuing to spread wrong information. “They say our schools have re-opened, and that's pure lies,” he said. “Tell us now, what do we want here in Lwamondo if our schools are open?”

He indicated that there were no schools that had been burnt in his area, but teachers were afraid to resume classes. “They want their safety to be guaranteed before they step into the classroom and do their jobs,” he said. “But if our elders still intimidate our teachers, then our teachers will not teach and this thing is affecting us.”

Alicia Chabalala (18) said that she was relieved that there were good organisations such as Munna Part-time Unisa student Ngelekanyo Themba is a volunteer teacher.

Ndi Nnyi who were dedicated to building the lives of the youth. “We are starting to write trial exams on Friday (today),” she said. “And, had we not been receiving lessons here, what were we going to write?”

One of the voluntary facilitators, who is also a part-time Unisa student, Ngelekanyo Themba (22), said that he was particularly moved by the children's plight and decided to be part of volunteers offering free teaching services to affected pupils.

“I feel for these children because every child has a right to education,” he said. “Without education, these children will never survive in this world. We don't want to be a nation that breeds a bunch of criminals because we have failed to The pupils from some villages in the Vuwani area are receiving educational educate the youth.” lessons from Munna Ndi Nnyi.

Two bright Wits students laid to rest in Vhembe The two Vhembe-born students from the University of Witwatersrand (Wits) who died during the accident on 1 May were laid to rest over the weekend.

The 23-year-old Dakalo Mulima's funeral was held at Mulima Thondoni on Saturday. The different speakers paid tribute to a young man whose academic achievement and community development activities had touched the lives of many

people.

The deceased's older brother, Stephen Mulima, said that the Mulima family wished to extend their sincere gratitude and appreciation for all the support, prayers and contributions they had received during the funeral. “Thank you to all who attended the memorials, funeral, posted messages of comfort and prayed for us to have strength,” he said.

Tributes for Dakalo had flowed from all corners of the country, particularly from former fellow students and the people whose lives he had touched.

Takalani Mulaudzi wrote on Dakalo Mulima's Last Words website: “You were just an ordinary guy, yet you did extraordinary things, filled with ambition and dreams. You were like a ray of sunshine whose heart is just pure gold and beams with happiness. You lived a life of a lion.”

The 19-year-old Rachel Matibe was laid to rest on Sunday at Murunwa village.

Rachel's uncle, Jerome Matibe, thanked all the people who had supported the family in many different ways during the days of mourning.

Rachel and Dakalo

died in an accident that occurred some three weeks ago after a minibus they were travelling in crashed into the back of a stationary trailer that was on the road in the vicinity of Nyl Plaza. The minibus reportedly burst into flames and claimed the lives of seven students.

Rachel was in her first year, studying towards a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery qualification, and Dakalo had just graduated with a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in March 2016.

Alleged crime kingpin survives mob’s revenge The demon of mob justice raised its ugly head in Vhembe again. A man who allegedly unleashed terror wherever he went around the village of Hamutsha-Khwekhwe outside Louis Trichardt, received bush justice last week when angry community members caught up with him after a long time on the run.

The man, only known as Tinties, has been on the run since one of his accomplices was caught red-handed at Khwekhwe and confessed to the community that he had been sent by the alleged crime boss.

The young man was allegedly badly assaulted and then pointed out hide-outs where more stolen goods were recovered.

The alleged criminal boss went into hiding after that. The man and his gang are suspected to be behind the spate of robberies, thefts, rapes and attacks on residents, among others.

Angry community members hunted him last weekend and caught up with him and used an assortment of weapons to beat him. After a fierce beating, the alleged crime boss soiled himself and was left for dead in a pool of blood. Fortunately for him, he was rescued when sympathetic residents called an ambulance, which took him to hospital where he is recuperating.

A community member, who preferred anonymity, said the com-

munity was sick and tired of the crime in their area. "This will send a message to all who are thinking of continuing with crime that they are not welcome here. Enough is enough and we have taken a stand that we will fight fire with fire. We will not fold our hands while the village is taken to the dogs while police are not helping the situation, " she said.

A community policing forum member in the Mutsha area, who also did not want his identity made known, said there were many incidents of crime in the area. “Things are not going well in this area as we do not have a good working relationship with the police. This man has been fingered in many crimes and he would be arrested and released all the time and this angered the community. We have vowed to clean the area of all crime ourselves,” he said.

Incidents of mob justice are on the increase in the Vhembe region, with no fewer than five incidents reported this month alone.

In one of the worst scenarios of mob justice, an alleged feared gangster in Thohoyandou was cornered and fatally beaten by angry shoppers after snatching a phone and purse from an elderly woman. The man was caught at the local taxi rank where he was necklaced.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with police sending warnings to residents not to take the law into their own hands.

Fifteen in court on border corruption charges

Mr Theodore Maoka, a teacher, was denied bail.

Former PAC councillor Eugine Khosa was denied bail.

The head of immigration at Beit Bridge border post, Elvis Mavhungu (54), as well as 14 other suspects appeared in the Musina Magistrate's Court on charges of corruption and defeating the ends of justice last Friday.

The suspects, which included a SARS custom official, a Home Affairs inspector, an advocate, a teacher, a local businessman, a councillor, two immigration officers and four clearing agents, were arrested by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation under leadership of Hawks head Berning Ntlemeza last Thursday at Musina.

Mavhungu, former senior prosecutor and priest Adv Edward Pesula, and nine other suspects were released on R3 000 bail each. Musina Secondary School teacher Mr Theodore Maoka, former Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) councillor in the Musina Municipality Mr Eugine Khosa, immigration officer Mr Edward Tshivhase and a suspected illegal immigrant, Mr Philip Molea, were denied bail. Some of those who were denied bail have pending cases against them while others are still being profiled.

According to a statement released by the Hawks’ spokesperson, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, “The Deputy Director demanded and received two pairs of shoes worth R3 000 each, so that he could stamp a brand new passport of a foreign national without any supporting documentation. The police officer, on the other hand, issued a false affidavit to a foreign

national in the absence of the recipient for a fee of R1,200.”

The advocate reportedly demanded and received R23 000 for issuing business visas to foreign nationals, while clearing agents were arrested for demanding and receiving between R5 000 and R9 000 for issuing fraudulent SARS Goods Export Permits without goods' being presented.

“The teacher at Musina Secondary School is in the dock for demanding and receiving R2 000 per passport, so that he could attach temporary resident permits, and applying entry and departure stamps on 21 passports without any documentation supporting the foreign nationals’ stay in the country,” Mulaudzi stated.

A former councillor, Eugene Khoza, who owns a Clearing Agency at Beit Bridge and has a pending corruption charge against him, is accused of accepting R7 200 for issuing false immigration stamps to foreign nationals.

Molea is suspected of being an illegal immigrant who uses false names. He was denied bail, pending the verification of his citizenship.

As part of their bail conditions, all suspects were barred from attending their work places at the border post. They will appear in court again between June 27 and July 4 for trial.

Their arrest by the Hawks came after six months of investigations into illegal activities at the border post. It has been alleged that officials at the border post are assisting criminal gangs and taking bribes.

The badly injured alleged thug lies in pain after being left for dead.

The wages of sin are a hard beating by the community. The alleged crime kingpin lies in a pool of blood after being given instant justice by angry community members.

“Justice is not served”, complains angry father While many people are celebrating the sentencing of serial killer Godfrey Ndivhuwo Ntsieni to a lengthy imprisonment, the father of one of the victims is far from impressed.

Mr Azwimpheleli Ndou, father of Tshililo Ndou, one of the two children who were raped and killed by Ntsieni, said he believed that other people had also been involved in his daughter’s killing.

Ndou, the elder brother of well-known boxer Phillip Ndou, said in an interview with Limpopo Mirror that a person who identified himself as “Rendani” visited him at this home on 1 May this year and confessed that he had been involved in the killing of his daughter.

“It was early in the morning when this ‘Rendani’ told me he decided to confess since he has now repented after being baptized at the ZCC in Moria. I then called the police and civic members from my area, Golgotha, so that they could witness his confession,” said Ndou.

Ndou alleges that one of the two police officers who came to his home tried to threaten Rendani, who later revealed the names of all the people who were involved in the killing. “This happened in the presence of civic members and two policemen,” said a very emotional Ndou.

Ndou also alleged that one of the eight people who had supposedly participated in his daughter’s killing had come to his home and made a confession. He added that Rendani had told him the plan to kill his daughter had been orchestrated “by a prophet at Khalavha and Tshilamba.”

He said that he was concerned that the police were not doing anything with the

information. “They say that Rendani is not a stable person in his mind. The same Rendani is appearing time and again in Ntsieni statements and testimony in court, but the police are still ignoring this,” said Ndou.

Ndou said he would never have peace if Rendani were not arrested. To show his frustration, Ndou burst out in court during the sentencing of Ntsieni at the Thohoyandou High Court on Friday.

Police spokesperson Maj Mashudu Malelo, however, said that the police did not deal with hearsay and only facts mattered for the police service. “As far as we understand, Ntsieni has been sentenced and this case is closed.”

Besides this, Ndou is adamant that Ntsieni’s friends in crime are still roaming the streets. He also believes his life is under threat because there are cars that come and park next to his home for the whole night since Rendani confessed to him. “My daughter did not deserve to die. She also had a bright future ahead of her. She always told me that she wanted to be a doctor and I believed her, but now she is gone,” said the emotional father.

Ntsieni was found guilty on the following charges: Murder and rape of a first-year agricultural science student, Ms Livhuwani Mmbodi (20) on 14 March; Tshililo Ndou (9) from Golgotha town was strangled and raped on 27 April; nursing science student

Reri’s Insurance donates scientific calculators to schools

Ms Shudufhadzani Thagisa (24) was attacked and hit with a brick on 26 May and she died in hospital in March 2015; Zwivhuya Mashau (8), a Grade 3 pupil at Nazarene School in Thohoyandou, was strangled and raped on 26 June, and Ms Brenda Ndove (45), a cleaner at Univen, was attacked and hit on the head with a brick and raped on 18 July. She died after the ordeal.

Joy and happiness abounded at the rural Mudunungu Primary School in Nzhelele when they recently received a brand new printer and a big photocopy machine. The machines were donated by the Old Mutual Group Scheme in Thohoyandou.

The school's acting principal, Mr Pfuluwani Nemakhavhani, said the school had 260 pupils and seven teachers who relied on outmoded and faulty machines that were no longer conducive to learning at the school. "We are a school in need, a school located in one of the poorest areas of our province."

Nemakhavhani could not stop heaping praises on Old Mutual.

"They came here selling their products and we told them of our plight.

Sooner than we expected, they

approved R20 000 for our school.

They invested wisely where it matters most, in the education of the children. This is the foundation for development and we are extremely happy." The local traditional leader, Chief Gunyukunyu Muribwathoho, commended the company for the assistance. "These are the types of companies we need in our communities - companies that know where to plough back. We are excited and grateful for what they have done here at the school," he said.

Representing the company, Ms Girly Mashau said their company was happy to be part of development, mostly in disadvantaged areas. "As a company we put aside a portion of our income for development in needy communities," she said.

Pupils, school staff and Old Mutual officials rejoice during the handover. Standing from left to right are Old Mutual Thohoyandou Sales Manager Ms Girly Mashau, Mr Johannes Budeli (HOD), Ms Jeanette Khangale (Old Mutual) and acting school principal Mr Daniel Nemakhavhani.

New info centre for Thulamela area Thanks to the new R19 million state-of the-art Thulamela information centre, visitors and communities around Thohoyandou will have access to information about the region and what it offers.

The centre, the first of its kind in the Limpopo province, will be a one-stop information centre that will offer a wide range of tourism-related information, such as travelling tips, general information, 14 offices of the SMMEs, an arts and crafts exhibition, as well as stalls for Tshivenda and

Changes, a non-profit organization based in Musina, recently joined hands with Ackermans store and Debonairs Pizzas to distribute new clothes and provide lunch to more than 50 less privileged families from Musina Nancefield. The event was held at the Nancefield municipal boardroom. Changes was established in 2013 by Etumeleng Masindi Sefularo, a youth from Musina. The organization presently comprises five board members, Etumeleng Masindi Sefularo (chairperson), Agreement Baloyi (deputy chairperson), Samson Muleya (secretary general), Kedibone Mulaudzi (deputy secretary) and Rudzani Luvhengo (treasurer). In our photo, Ms Sefularo distributes clothes to some underprivileged recipients.

History

Battle of Delville Wood com­memo­rated A parade to commemorate the battle of Delville Wood will be held at the Moths’ Turbi Hills Shellhole on Sunday, 17 July.

More than 2 600 South African soldiers died or were wounded in the six days and five nights of ferocious fighting in this wood in the northeast of France.

It lasted from the 15th to the 20th of July 1914 and went down in the history of WWI as an example of supreme sacrifice and heroism.

The service in Louis Trichardt will start at 11:00 and, after a short summary of the events at Delville Wood, memorial wreaths will be laid.

Local residents who had family members or close friends who were involved in this battle are welcome to participate in the event. For more information, Alan Odendaal can be contacted at 0836602472.

News with an independent soul

Bail for illegal cigarette suspect A 30-year-old man appeared in the the illegal cigarettes.

Waterval Magistrate’s Court two Mushekwa must appear in court weeks ago in connection again on 29 July. with illegal cigarettes.

James Mushekwa’s case was presented before the court, where he was granted bail of R10 000.

Mushekwa, who is a Zimbabwean citizen, was arrested earlier this month in possession of 2 330 cartons of illegal cigarettes. The value of the cigarettes was estimated at R500 000.

According to the provincial spokesperson for the police, Col Ronel Otto, at least three more suspects in this case had fled the scene when Mushekwa was arrested near Elim.

The police had confiscated a white Toyota Camry sedan in which the four suspects were allegedly transporting James Mushekwa’s case was postponed.

Rabelani Masia

The road for Phalaphala FM music compiler Rabelani Masia to be where he is today has been hard.

Masia started his primary schooling at Mboneni Primary in Dzimauli and went to Rambuda High, matriculated at Azwifarwi High School and the following year he proceeded to Damelin College to study Sound Engineering in 2002. A year later he went to the Johanesburg College Campus and completed a diploma in music technology.

“It has never been easy for me to venture into the radio industry.

When the time for joining Makhado Community Radio opened for me, I grabbed it with both hands.”

In 2011 he joined Musina FM and Univen in 2013. In 2014 he went to Phala Phala FM as a music compiler.

“I could not resist the opportunity to join Phalaphala FM, because I have wanted to expose my talent to the public for a long time. I took the bull by the horns, because I am not afraid to face new challenges in life. I make sure that the listeners are also part of the music in every show at the station. I open the lines and give them an opportunity to put their ideas across. I also accept construc-

tive criticism and this makes me more popular with my listeners.”

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

“I’m still young and there is still more to offer to my community.

“I did not allow fame to go to my head, but I gave myself more time to read my books. My secrets for success are hard work, effective time management and the desire to succeed. I set realistic goals for myself and I strive to achieve them without failure. I have also learnt to believe in myself and to learn from my past mistakes at all times,” he explained.

Asked about the recipe of his success, Masia was quick to say: “Perseverance, hard work, motivation and effective time management are the only secrets for success. I have always believed that, no matter how many shots I have missed, I’m going to make the next one.”

He advised the youth to study hard, “so that they may be able to make a significant contribution in the community in which they live.

Youths must also stay away from drugs and criminal activities and prepare themselves for careers that will benefit them in life.”

Reggae music lovers in the Vhembe district and guests from other provinces were treated to live performances by talented artists and bands during the second Africa Day Reggae Festival on Saturday.

Those who braved the cold and attended the festival at the Makhado Show Grounds will treasure the good memories of quality music and the joviality of the night of celebrating African culture and heritage through song and dance.

The AfreeCa Resort’s manager and festival producer, Murendeni Ramunenyiwa, said the management was thankful for the partnership and co-operation they had received from all stakeholders. “We had such a peaceful and fruitful festival,” Ramunenyiwa said. “We want to thank all the artists who gave such gripping per-

formances. The festival would not have been possible if it were not for the music lovers who knew that it was possible to celebrate the beauty and richness of our continent through music.”

The annual Africa Day Reggae Festival provides platforms for local bands, arts and culture groups to showcase their crafts while integrating the diverse cultures, their rich unique traditional practices, historical inheritance and traditional food through the arts. It also brings trade to the rural areas thus fast-tracking the much-needed community development and empowerment for the local communities through the arts and culture.

“We saw how our people love reggae music,” Ramunenyiwa said. “As for next year, we are planning to bring some godfathers of the reggae genre from Jamaica,

so that they can be part of this festival.”

The festival gave a wide range of musicians and bands an opportunity to showcase their talents. These included the reggae legend Colbert Mukwevho, P-Postman, Kenny Murabi, JahMan Tshiganzha, Ras Mulweli, Code, Muofhe, Jacky Nethomboni, Khakhathi, and BlackJahman. Heavyweights Durban Nyts played new songs and their anthemic Shumaya. The other artists included Mizo, Da. L.E.S, Yellow Mah, Catcher, and Dezazo.

The festival also had a space in the line-up for hip hop artists as a way of catering for and promoting young, developing artists. The organisers also thanked the Department of Arts and Culture for the continued support in hosting the annual Africa Day Reggae Festival.

Four SAMA nominations for Vhembe artists Gospel music lovers and social media have been abuzz the past two months about the nomination of the Vhembe-based gospel group, Worship House, for the South African Music Awards (Sama) that will held at the ICC in Durban tomorrow (Saturday).

The group has been nominated in the Best Faith Music category for their album, Worship House Project 12. They will compete with four other nominees, Family, Dumi Nkomstad, Joyous Celebration and Woman in Praise 3.

The director of music at Worship House, Mr Norman Nemathaga, is confident that they are going to scoop up the award and make their mark in the national music fraternity. “Although some people may regard us as rookies in the music industry, we are going to surprise the so-called big guns by winning the award. We believe in ourselves and we know that our nomination is proof that we are accomplishing our mission of becoming one of the best gospel music groups in the country.” Nemathaga also thanked all the people who made the band what it is today. “Our nomination did not come as a surprise, because it is a reward for our hard work. It is very important to thank our fans for their unending support. We will never forget to thank our mentor, Pastor Sakkie Dagada, for his

significant contribution in the development of the band.”

Lwei Netshivhale from Dzwerani has been nominated in the Best African Adult category. He said he had always believed that God’s timing was the best. “I don’t just sing; my songs heal, teach and make people dance. We listen as God speaks to us,” he said. He added that many of his songs were calls to believers and non-believers to stand up and call Jesus when they were still alive. He encouraged the children of God not to feel embarrassed about praising and dancing before the Almighty with musical instruments. Mzayisani Boitina has been nominated in the Best Music Video category. “Being nominated for a Sama has come to me as a milestone that means a lot, not only to me, but also to the listeners of my music and those who support my music,” he said.

He said that the inspiration for his music came from his growing up in the royal family. “I combine a collection of indigenous chant music.”

Another local artist, Vincent Bones, received a nomination in the Best Pop Album category.

“When I started music, I never thought I would one day rub shoulders with the best in the music arena”. He said life was bad when he started singing and that he lacked even the basics.

Fruit and market stalls for Thohoyandou The acting mayor of Thulamela, Mr Shadrack Maluleke, encouraged farmers to associate themselves with other farming bodies and also to ensure that they acquire the necessary skills that will help to develop their farming operations.

The appeal was made at the launch of the Thohoyandou Fruit and Vegetable Market, which took place during an event at the Makwarela Hall a fortnight.

The Thulamela Local Municipality and Department of Agriculture in Vhembe launched

the fruit and vegetable flea market stalls at the Thohoyandou Information Centre. Maluleke said the main aim of starting the market was to make Thulamela the hub of economic activity for the producers, market agents and consumers of fresh produce in the district.

“We want to empower the existing cooperatives and to push more people, particularly the youth, to get involved in agriculture and agro-processing to drive economic growth and job creation in our municipali-

ty. We are encouraging you to associate yourselves with other farming bodies and also ensure that you aqcuire the necessary skills that will develop you into a serious agriculture,” said Maluleke.

The president of the African Farmers Association of South Africa (AFASA), Mr Tshianeo Mathidi, encouraged other farmers to put their efforts into producing fresh products.

“As we are given the markets, we must work hard, despite the drought.”

MTG Soccer Challenge

MTG Soccer Challenge

Tense victory for Dangerous Scorpions Shadani Dangerous Scorpions booked a place in the final of the MTG Soccer Challenge by beating Mudaswali United Brothers 6-5 in their semifinal match at the Makonde Home Defenders grounds on Saturday.

Both teams provided maximum entertainment, despite the fact that no goal was scored during regulation time. Scorpions threatened to score six minutes into the game. Left flank Meshack Baloyi, however, failed to give the ball the final touch after a square pass from Ronewa Tshi-

balanganda. That was a wake-up call to the defenders of United Brothers. They initiated several promising moves from behind in their search for an early goal.

United missed their first obvious scoring chance in the 24th minute. Their bulldozer-striker, Tshifhiwa Singo, shot wide from the edge of the box, following a neat pass from Mulalo Rasivhetshele. The game turned lukewarm in the last 15 minutes of the last half. At that stage the teams were playing aerial balls from behind, trying to study their opponents.

The referee, Mr Eric Munyai, flashed the only card in the game two minutes into the last half. Mulanga Tshisaphungo of Scorpions tackled Itani Mphaga from behind.

Scorpions introduced Unarine Rambuda for Ntuwiseni Tshivalo, but that did not change the complexion of the game.

The winner was determined through penalty shootout, following a full-time goalless draw.

Dangerous Scorpions converted six chances while Brothers scored five.

Madridtas FC ready for the play-offs The long-awaited SAB League provincial play-off matches will finally be staged at the Seshego Stadium in Polokwane this weekend. The play-offs were initially scheduled for last weekend, but had to be postponed in honour of the Nedbank Cup final match between Orlando Pirates and Supersport United, which was staged at the Peter Mokaba Stadium last Saturday.

Five teams from the five regional associations in the province will battle it out for promotion to the ABC Motsepe League.

The five teams that will represent their respective regional associations are: Madridtas FC (Vhembe), Ditlou FC (Sekhukhune),

Molemole Academy (Capricorn), Ratanang FC (Waterberg) and Mamaila Citizens from Mopani.

When asked about their level of readiness for the play-offs, the coach of Madridtas FC, Mr Killers Tshisikule, said that they had what it took to bring the trophy back home. He stated that they had played a number of friendly matches in their preparations for the annual event.

Each team will play four matches over the weekend and the top two teams at the end of the tournament will gain promotion to the ABC Motsepe League.

Molemole Academy from the host regional association will take on Mamaila Citizens in the opening match, scheduled to kick

off at 08:00 tomorrow. Ditlou FC and Ratanang FC will lock horns at 10:00. Madridtas FC will test their strength against Molemole Academy at 12:00.

Mamaila Citizens and Ditlou will rub shoulders in what promises to be a humdinger. Madridtas and Ratanang will close the business of the day, starting at 16:00.

Sunday’s fixtures are: Madridtas vs Ditlou (08:00), Ratanang FC vs Mamaila Citizens (10:00), Molemole Academy vs Ditlou FC (12:00), Madridtas vs Mamaila Citizens (14:00) and Ratanang vs Molemole Academy.

Vhembe District was represented by United Artists last year, but they could not get romotion.

Cycling

Pro team to represent Soutpansberg For the first time in the 27-year-history of the annual Kremetart One-Day Stage Race, Louis Trichardt has entered its own professional team to compete in the gruelling 175km stage race on 4 June against some of the top names on the South African racing scene.

The idea of entering a local team was adopted by the newly established Soutpansberg Cycling Club to promote the aims and objectives of Soutpansberg Youth Cycling – a newly formed club to promote the sport of cycling among the region’s youth.

Seen against the background of how much the sport has grown with regard to both road cycling and mountain biking in the Soutpansberg over the past few years, the time has never been better to put together such a team. In recent years, the region has delivered a couple of brilliant young cyclists, such as CP van Wyk, who is set to remain a force to be contended with in future. He is currently studying at Stellenbosch.

As for the local team selected for Saturday to represent not only the Soutpansberg Cycling Club but the Soutpansberg as a whole, who better than to include some of the town’s top young cyclists currently making a name for themselves in the cycling world.

One of these top cyclists is Kombo Bere from Louis Trichardt High School. He was recently selected to represent Zimbabwe at the UCI’s World MTB Champs in the Czech Republic later this year. Other top names include that of Marco Roets, as well as those of youngsters Richard Lambert, Douglas Archer, Gerhart Meyer, who have excelled in the sport of mountain biking over the past few months. These youngsters, all sporting numerous podium wins in races at both local and national level, are all included in the team, along with two more senior and experienced roadies, Rick Coetzee and Jandré van Jaarsveld.

According to team captain Rick, they have set their goal to at least take one stage win during the race. “For the past two months we have been training intensively, following a rigorous training programme. In total, each cyclist has, on average, clocked up around a 1 000km in the training seat. This weekend will see the culmination of all our hard work and we look forward to the race,” said Rick.

Getting the team together was about the easiest part. Getting a sponsor for the race was a bit more difficult. Were it not for team sponsor Tac-Pulse stepping up to the plate, the team would not have been able to race on

Saturday.

Tac-Pulse, originally from Wolmaransstad, recently set up another tactical medical emergency response branch in Louis Trichardt. They were keen to get on board to support the team and promote their services. The team will be riding in the colours of team Tac-Pulse on Saturday.

Not only did Tac-Pulse sponsor the team, but they are also the official emergency medical response team for the whole of the Kremetart weekend.

“We would like to invite the public to come and support these Louis Trichardt youngsters,” said Rick. They will compete in the elite men’s category, with their race scheduled to start at 06:30 on Saturday. Supporters should, however, be there at an earlier time to be sure not to miss them. Along the route, they can also support the team by getting onboard the supporters bus at a cost of R500 per person. (For the complete race programme for the whole of the weekend, including the schedule for road closures and a route map, see the Freewheel 2016 Kremetart supplement in this edition of the Zoutpansberger).

“From my side I would like to thank my team members, sponsor and supporters in advance for their hard work, commitment and support,” said Rick.

Team Tac-Pulse, who will represent not only Louis Trichardt but the whole of the Soutpansberg on Saturday during the Kremetart 175km One-Day Stage Race. It is the first time in the 27-year history of the Kremetart that a local team will compete at a professional level against some of the top names on the South African cycling scene during the race.

Top award for Ravhuhali Ndivhuwo Ravhuhali of Baroka FC is the Nedbank Cup Young Player of the tournament.

Ravhuhali, who hails from Makavhini village, Ha-Manenzhe in Mutale, received the trophy and R50 000 during the PSL awards ceremony held at Emperors’ Palace in Johannesburg on Monday evening. He played a key role in helping Baroka, the latest inclusion in the PSL, to reach the semifinals of the esteemed Nedbank Cup. “I am excited about the honor, but always believed that I would win this award. I was just waiting for this day to arrive, so that I could get it,” said Ravhuhali.

The 24-year-old Ravhuhali played for Makavhini Black Movers before he joined Joe Express two seasons ago. He was later lured to the Polokwane-based Baroka FC. He added that he was honoured to be chosen among other players from both the PSL and First Division

teams that participated in the Nedbank Cup. Ravhuhali is the eldest child of former Black Movers player Jutas “Scara Masinga” Ravhuhali and Lorraine Phuravhathu. He started playing soccer at the age of nine. After completing his primary education at Makavhini Primary, he went to Niani Secondary School in Ha-Manenzhe. where he passed his matric.

His attempt to get a tertiary qualification was cut short after he was forced to drop out from a private FET college where he was studying for a qualification in marketing management, due to a lack of funds. “After dropping out from the FET, I then decided to focus on my soccer talent. Fortunately, Baroka was having trials in June last year and I succeeded,” said Ravhuhali, who had since featured in all the games that Baroka played last season.

Besides interests from PSL giants such as Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Chippa United FC and others, Ravhuhali said he was

focusing on his holiday instead of worrying about his next move. “I am still contracted to Baroka, which is also going to play in the PSL. Any team that wants my signature will have to speak to my team,” said the promising left back. Baroka have already indicated that they are not going to stand in the way of any player who is wanted by other PSL teams. Asked to comment about his desired destination, Ravhuhali said: “I would prefer to play for Chiefs as there is an opportunity for me to play there.”

Ravhuhali lives with his parents, fiancé Thompho Muleya, his daughters Ronewa and Uhone. The extended family, which includes his brother Mpfariseni (21) and sister Mulalo (19), share a two-room abode at Makavhini village. Ravhuhali said he would use his prize money of R50 000 to complete his parents’ house. He had already started extending the house with two extra rooms from the salary he was earning at Baroka.
