Phillip “The Time Bomb” Ndou in the dock for assault

‘

I am sorry gized for his behaviour, following an attack on an official of Boxing Respected local boxer Phillip ‘The South Africa and two referees at Time Bomb’ Ndou has the Thohoyandou Town Hall last a p o l o - week Friday. The incident took place during the weigh-in of the Mulenzhe World Sports Promotion boxing tournament, which took place that evening. (See a report with photographs of the tournament on the main sports page.)

In an exclusive interview with Limpopo Mirror, Ndou confirmed that he had approached Boxing South Africa (BSA) official Archie Nyingwa to ask why he (Nyingwa) was removing Ndou from the tournament. Ndou said he was to face Zambian boxer Chimwemwe Chiotcha in a non-title, junior middleweight bout. Ndou said that he believed Nyingwa had removed him from the bill so that Nyingwa could put his own boxer, Ntuthuko Memela from Kwazulu Natal, on the programme to meet the Zambian fighter.

Ndou says he went to the town hall, ready for the weigh-in. “I then learnt that I was no longer allowed to continue with the fight, because of medical reasons cited by Nyigwa.

After learning about this, I was heartbroken as BSA had asked for medical reports on two different occasions, which we submitted and they were clean,” Ndou added.

“After he failed to give me clear reasons for my withdrawal, I hit him with my stick. Referees Thabo Spampool and Ben Ncapayi then started attacking me and I fought back,” said Ndou.

According to a report in the Times Live, BSA said they had revoked Ndou’s licence, based on the advice of two physicians. Ndou, however, vehemently denies this, adding that BSA could not have waited two days before the fight to make their findings known. “Nyingwa always had the ulterior motive of bringing his boxer, Memela, to the fight by removing me and I was not happy with that.”

The promoter, Mpho Khorommbi, also confirmed that he had only been informed that Ndou could not fight on Wednesday evening, two days before the fight. “Unfortunately, I could not take the telephone communication as genuine, as we must rely on written communication in serious issues like this,” said Khorommbi.

Khorommbi also added that they

were forced to rope in Memela to replace Ndou to avoid the fruitless expense of paying Chiotcha, who was supposed to be paid even without throwing a punch as he had signed to come to South Africa. Ndou insists that the arrival of Memela was preplanned as there was no way a boxer could be roped in within 72 hours before the fight.

Ndou also confirmed that he appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court on charges of assault to do grievous bodily harm.

He was released on R1 000 bail and the case was postponed to 15 September. “I don’t want to talk much about this issue. I just want to apologize to BSA, my fans and every South African in particular about my bad behaviour. I hope that they will forgive me. I also want to focus on this court case first. Maybe after this I will be able to have an opportunity to fight for the last time, so that I can bid a good farewell to my fans,” said Ndou, who has a record of 45 fights, with five losses.

His wins include more than 30 fights with knock-outs. Ndou is the only South African boxer who fought Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Huge losses for local farmers as devastating drought persists

Happy pupils, the school management, sponsors, education officials, traditional leadership and the SGB rejoice during the handing over of the furniture at the school.

By Elmon Tshikhudo

“No excuse for not passing” - Cllr Rapson Cllr Rapson Rambuwani of the Vhembe District Municipality has urged pupils at Mukula Secondary School to take their studies seriously and not be tempted into unbecoming behaviours such as falling in love with their teachers or abusing alcohol and drugs.

Rambuwani spoke during the handover of desks and chairs at the school by Ngululu Holdings.

During the event, which took place on Friday, an executive of Ngululu Holdings, Adv Sivhaga Netshitomboni, handed over 50 chairs and fifty tables for Grade 12s. The Mutshundudi circuit manager, Ms Homani Muhanganei, representatives of the Takalani royal family and Ms Rudzani Takalani approached the

company for the donation.

Netshitomboni said giving and development had become part of the company. "We were at Dengenya last year, where we handed over furniture to the school. We distribute blankets to the needy at Steelpoort on an annual basis and donated water tanks at schools. When the request came, we felt we should assist here and there. We could not allow a situation where our Grade 12s could attend classes seated on the floor and standing. We want to motivate them to attain the best results," he said. The principal, Mr Cosmos Mathivha, said they lacked words strong enough to thank Netshitomboni and his company. "We have so many challenges and needs here at the

school, but what Ngululu has done will make a big difference to our Grade 12s. We call upon other businesses and induvuduals to come on board and assist," he said. Mathivha further indicated that the desks and chairs were not enough, but what the company had donated would go a long way in motivating the pupils to work even harder.

Rambuwani said he was disturbed by the fact that pupils no longer took their education seriously and were involved in unproductive behaviours that let them lose focus on their studies.

“Please take education as your future and do not rush into things like sex, because what you will get is diseases and unplanned children,” he said.

"Most of our members are out of the business and have suffered the worst in years. We had hoped that this would be a short-term challenge, but it still persists even today. More than half of our members in the Nwanedi area are out of business. This resulted in hundreds of workers losing their jobs in these difficult economic times," he added.

Mathidi further said that the latest showers “were just a drop in the ocean, as rivers are dry and almost all the dams are running empty.” The level of the Nandoni Dam, one of the biggest dams in the province, is below 60%. "We are faced with a big challenge here, as lower water Dead chickens as a result of the heat that swept through the province levels means that even recently.

Emergency medical services for Masisi area The deep rural communities in Masisi and surrounding villages will now be able to receive emergency medical rescue response services, such as the treatment and emergency transportation of critically ill and injured patients. This is due to the opening of the Masisi Emergency Medical Services (EMS) station.

Hundreds of people from communities around Masisi attended the official opening of Masisi EMS by the MEC for Public Works and Infrastructure, Mr Jerry Ndou, MEC for Health Dr Phophi Ramathuba and the Vhavenda King, Toni Mphephu Ramabulana, last Wednesday.

The buildings of the Masisi EMS were specifically constructed by the Department of Public Works in the province. Speaking during the opening of the station, MEC Ndou said that the user-friendly EMS is one of the priority programmes of the Department of Health in the province. Ndou also handed over several ambulances that will serve the rural communities in Mutale.

King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana said the opening of the Masisi station was part of the

better services the government was delivering to the communities. He added that the communities should jealously protect the buildings from all forms of vandalism. “Even if people are angry about poor service delivery, they must not be tempted to burn these good buildings,” he added.

Thovhele Mmbengeni Tshikundamalema thanked the government for remembering even the deep rural communities with better service delivery and said his subjects would report all forms of emergency transportation of critically ill and injured people.

Phalaphala FM relocates to Thohoyandou King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana said the relocation of Phalaphala FM will not only be a boost to the local economy, but will benefit the whole Vhavenda nation.

Mphephu spoke during the function to celebrate the relocation of the station from Polokwane to the heartland of Venda in Thohoyandou. The function was attended by the top dogs of the SABC, including chairperson of the board Prof Mbulaheni Maguvhe, traditional leaders, community structures, the clergy and officials of government led Minister Faith Muthambi (standing third from right) photographed with members of the by Public Works MEC Mr Jerry internationally acclaimed Worship House.

Mphephu Ramabulana said

there had been an outcry from his subjects since the station was broadcasting far away from its people. “This station belongs to the people here. We should all be proud that it is back where it belongs and that our children will not have to travel long distance to see their presenters. Please protect and take care of it jealously,” he said.

SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng said as the public broadcaster they were committed to change, especially within the previously marginalized communities.

“We are still going to do more in terms of improving the infrastructure here,” he said. He

added that they had been praised and criticized for coming up with sometimes controversial decisions, but that they would not stop implementing what they felt was right for the people.

“We still have many plans, like building a TV studio here, and people may say what they want, but I won’t stop doing what my conscience tells me is right,” he said.

On behalf of Mudzi Religious Organization, Vho Maine Vho Mberegeni Mada, whose organization championed the move, said that they were very excited.

The highlight of the occasion was a festival at Univen, featuring some of the best local artists.

Prominent deejay Rabs Vhafuwi.

Music festival highlight of Makhado Show The Makhado Municipality thanked all guests and fun lovers from the municipal area, Limpopo at large and beyond for attending a funfilled edition of the Makhado Annual Show. The show took place at the show grounds in Louis Trichardt last week.

The spokesperson for the Makhado Municipality, Mr Louis Bobodi, indicated that the municipality had endeavoured to make this year’s show a masterpiece.

“We had tried to improve where we had been previously found wanting,” he said. “We had beefed-up security for the safety of our visitors.”

The children were treated to fun activities by the crew from Takalani Sesame, which was sponsored

by Sanlam and SABC2.

The playing fields and other activities, such as the merry-go-round, the food stalls and information service stalls were open and available for the duration of the show.

The main crowd-pulling event in the show was the music show, which took place on Saturday. It boosted a line-up of singers, musicians and DJs with, among others, Colbert Mukwevho, Vetkuk vs Mahhota, Kumar, Tirhani Mabaso, Eli Macfam, Fizzy, Mizzo Phyll, Prifix, Rabs Vhafuwi, Percy Mukwevho, CornerStone, Muofhe, Comet Street Anhetico Properties 54 Hlanganani Caltex Centre Louis Trichardt Eiendomme (T) 015 516 2044/5

There had been transport problems in the previous years, where show attendees would roam the town after the show had closed in the middle of the

night. However, the municipality had addressed this issue this time around.

“We had arranged with the public transport owners to provide services even after hours for the safety of those who didn’t have their own vehicles,” Bobodi said. “We are looking forward to having another prosperous show, come 2017.”

Phalaphala FM’s crème de la crème Bingi-Ras, Phathutshedzo Matidza, Lutendo Nomsa Tshisikule and Tico Liphadzi are among the excellent presenters and producers with Phalaphala FM and their work continues to shine forth on radio.

Angry protestors halt service at Venda Plaza An ugly war is brewing between hawkers under the umbrella of the Thulamela Business Forum and the owners of the Venda Plaza Shopping Complex.

On Monday, hundreds of tenants protested outside the complex gate, joined by shoppers.

Singing freedom songs, the protestors handed over a memorandum of their grievances to the owners of the complex.

Speaking on behalf of the forum, Mr Ntsieni Mbulungeni, deputy chairperson of the forum, said that they had engaged the owners of the complex on a number of occasions about the conditions at the complex. “It is now clear that the management of this complex does not want emerging businesspeople here. They are trying all they can to take us out of this complex and replace us with big companies who can afford exorbitant rent.”

Among the issues raised are lease problems, which affect them negatively as they are only given a lease of one month, which allows the owners to suppress them as they can increase the rent at will.

They also say the big companies are given longterm leases, which guarantees them business at the complex. They also allege that there is no open line of communication between them and the owners.

Mbulungeni further indicated that they were worried about the higher rates that are unreasonable and also terms that are not favourable for local tenants.

“We are urging the owners to treat us fairly, so that we can operate our businesses in a profitable way.”

He also stated that they were worried that some School News

of the tenants had been operating for more than 10 years but had to close their businesses because of the unfavourable conditions they operated under. “We are giving them 14 days to resolve the issues mentioned and if not, we are going to mobilise our people and make this place not work,”

he said.

Forum members handed over the memorandum to the representatives of the complex and it was received

by Ms Merriam Musetsho, who promised to take the memorandum to the higher officials of the company.

New classrooms for Beit Bridge Primary Pupils, teachers and members of the local community could not hide their joy when the MEC for Education, Mr Ismael Kgetjepe, officially opened the completed multimillion-rand state-of-theart buildings at Beit Bridge Primary School in Musina Nancefield.

The infrastructure is comprised of 24 classrooms, an administration block, a nutritional centre, 20 flushing toilets and security fencing. The school has an enrolment of 1 357 pupils.

Also present during the event were the MEC for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, Jerry Ndou, Mayor Tshitereke Matibe (Vhembe District Municipality) and Cllr Mihloti Muhlope, the mayor of the Musina Local Municipality.

Muhlope said the infrastruc-

ture would play a very important role in the eradication of overcrowding at the school.

“Government is doing everything possible to make education accessible to everyone.

Things like non-payment of school fees, the introduction of feeding schemes, free books and stationery are just some of the fruits of the freedom we are enjoying today.”

She urged young children to take education seriously. “Education should be your best friend every day.

An educated person is respected everywhere, because education beats beauty and good body looks.”

Kgetjepe said the government had used R26 million to set up the infrastructure at Beit Bridge Primary School. He urged community members to take good

care of the buildings, so that they can also serve future generations. “Let us move away from destroying government property when we protest. This school is just a demosntration that we are serious about the education of our children. The environment in which education takes place has a very big impact on the performance of our children.”

Kgetjepe said the Limpopo government had completed more than 150 school projects in the last financial year. “This is money well spent and we have no doubt that the new infrastructure will encourage our children to study hard.”

A Grade 4 learner at the school, Joseph Moyo, said that they used to attend classes under a tree and “we are very happy and thankful that the government has come to our rescue.”

Windfall for poor family of Mphambo The poor Moerane family at Mphambo outside that would end in September this year,” she said.

Malamulele on Friday received a windfall when Communications Minister Faith Muthambi visited them and handed over a plasma TV and digital satellite box. Officials who accompanied them, also pledged to help them acquiring a decent house.

The minister visited the family during her digital migration awareness programme that seeks to introduce digital migration, more especially in rural communities. Ms Tinyiko Chauke said they were very humbled to have been chosen from among many families in the village for such a high powered visit. “We are a very poor family of five and we depend on the grant of the children. Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we would be visited by such important people like traditional leaders and the minister,” she added Chauke’s husband, Mr Elias Moerane said the mere presence of government officials at his house means a lot. “This is great, seeing such prominent people at your own shack is a wonderful experience”. Muthambi told the family she was touched to hear of their plight and decided to pay them a visit. “We are a caring government that wants to Sms your ID, Initials & Surname, Net income see the lives of its people improved. Our officials are going to see to it that a house is built for you and your children. We will monitor this project

“I am passionate about all things relationships” Faith Khosa encourages couples in motivational book

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho A resident of Giyani, Ms Yingisani Faith Khosa, believes that if all couples learn to forgive one another and fix their relationships, society can be a healthy place to live in for all people.

In her motivational book, Relationships and Spirituality, she unpacks different types of relationships, and states that relationships can break one down if they are not properly understood.

“The danger today with most young people is that we rush into relationships without understanding what relationships are,” she said. “To be successful in any venture in life, you need wisdom and understanding of that particular endeavour.

There is a danger in misplacing priorities and rushing into things before time.

Relationships have been here since time immemorial and will always be here.”

Khosa is a motivational speaker, author, relationships activist and an entrepreneur. She states that she is driven by the need to express love, to empower, to encourage, and to disprove the words ‘it is not possible’. She is the founder of Doing it Right Relationships Symposiums. She also hosts the “Ladies Moving in Higher Dimensions by His word” annual conferences.

“I am passionate about doing it right in pre-marital and marital relationships and I want to help others do it right,” she states. “My distinctive mandate is to present God’s original design as far as marriage is concerned,” she says. “I am a multifaceted and dynamic young lady breaking into unchartered territory.”

She says that the pressure that comes with chasing career, business and other urgent and imperative goals, people hardly set aside time to focus on building up

their relationships.

“Now if we get into relationships prematurely, we may lose sight of other very important things,” she says. “Also, a pre-marital period is not to a pastime. It’s meant to usher one into a marital relationship, which is a once-and-for-all thing.”

Khosa has a way with words and her expressions are heartwarming. She indicates that emotional strains that sometimes come from people’s lack of tackling relationship problems rob them of a healthy relationship.

“In this book, you will find the when,why and how of relationships,” she says. “It took me about two years to write the book. The book can be ordered directly from me.”

Muntswu calls for peace in new Mulalo

By Elmon Tshikhudo Well-known reggae artist Kathu Muntswu says there is too much violence in the country and that it needs bold people who are not afraid to stand up and speak about it.

The artist from Mbaleni outside Thohoyandou expresses his displeasure about the situation in the country on his latest offering, Mulalo. He became a household name in 2012, after the release of his mega hit Khadi Nga Vorosi, an album that received anthem status from his fans.

Released just a month ago, the 10-track album is fast finding its way into the hearts of his fans. It was recorded at Vharendi Music Productions in Makwarela. “My last album was in 2014 and to be honest, the album did not live up to expectations, but this did not discourage me, but motivated

me to come up with Mulalo.” He added that the main theme of the new album was peace. “People are killing each other in the name of politics. There is too much violent crime going on here and people seem not to notice,” he said.

Muntswu further indicated that his music was a vehicle to convey the message of peace.”Let us all be united and speak out about violence and do better to improve conditions in our areas; all of us have a responsibility,” added Muntswu.

He said the new project was not without its hassles. “I had many odds against me during the preparation of the album, but I worked hard with help from other artists and I am happy that I finally have this product,” said Muntswu.

The new CD is available at Dakota Music in Thohoyandou, but those with problems getting copies and for bookings can phone Muntswu at 072 151 0548.

LEAD THE WAY TOYOTA

Tshidzini is one if the most rural villages under the Thulamela Municipality where entertainment is almost non-existent.

Out of boredom, some of the youths have found themselves on the wrong side of the law after indulging in drugs and alcohol abuse. But out of these trying conditions, a group of young men organized themselves and found a positive way out of their situation by starting a choral group.

Tshidzini Boys Choir was formed in 2004 with only ten members. Today, the group that sings music in the mould of the famous Ladysmith Black Mambazo in many languages boasts 16 members and has enough material to record an album. A few weeks ago, the group gave a splendid performance during a birthday party at

Duvhuledza outside Thohoyandou that left guests asking for more.

Group leader Titus Muthelo said the group had moulded them to be what they are today.

“When we are together we encourage each other on issues of education and work. So far, we have many published songs that could make a full album, but we do not have the finances to do that.

Even the uniforms we are wearing is from our own contributions.”

He added that they were available to perform at any event “and we hope if people book us for performances, we could raise funds and record our first album and realise our dreams. We are dreaming very big and we have all the hope that our talents will not end up here in the villages,” he said.

Those willing to assist the group can do so by phoning him at 072 453 7303.

Huge honour for founder of Munna Ndi Nnyi Forum Human Rights champion and community leader Mr Bardwell Mufunwani said he did not know that what he was doing was being recognized by his community. Among others, he founded the Munna Ndi Nnyi Men’s Forum (Who is the real man) in 1997.

Mufunwaini, who has assisted many in the community - some in difficult conditions, on the verge of committing suicide and some victims of rape, some close to divorce and hundreds of disadvantaged children - was honoured by the community of Vhembe a fortnight ago. The event was attended by many stakeholders, including traditional healers, leaders, faith-based organizations and many community members and took place at the local Manzere Primary School in Shayandima on Saturday.

The function also coincided with his 65th birthday celebrations and a big cake was shared among family members and friends. His wife, Lorraine, gave him a ring as a sign of their never-ending love for each other.

Speaker after speaker at the event emphasised the good work Mufunwani has been doing for the community of Limpopo. Well-known cleric and researcher Dr Alunamutwe Randitsheni praised Mufunwaini for his “selfless sacrifices” in seeing to it that there is peace in the country. Randitsheni urged him never to stop helping those in need and to continue assisting people and families with problems.

Chief Lutombo Tshisudzungwane of the Lwamondo traditional authority hailed Mufunwaini as an exemplary man whose deeds were worth emulating and Dr Mashudu Dima also praised Mufunwaini, but advised him that he should follow a strict health diet as he is getting older.

Mafunwaini said he never in his wildest dreams thought of a day where the community would gather to celebrate his life while he was still alive.

“We have done a lot for the community from many years ago and we did this not expecting any reward in return. We are very humbled by this gesture and we will continue serving people, but we would be very happy to see families changing and living in peace where there are no longer killings and abuse, where the community is educated and prospering,” he said.

Police in Thohoyandou are in a celebratory mood, following the lengthy sentences received by two criminals who terrorized the community by committing house robberies with unlicensed firearms.

The two, Admire Chikwanda (22) and Brian Mhoko (34), were recently sentenced to 47 years and 17 years respectively in the Sibasa Regional Court for cases ranging from house robbery to possession of unlicensed firearms. The offences were committed between March and September 2012.

It emerged in court that Admire Chikwanda had robbed two police officers of their state-issued firearms at Ha Matsila in the Vuwani area in March 2012. The court also heard that the same firearms were used in a house robbery in Ha Mavhunda in July 2012, when he robbed the occupants of the house of clothing and cash.

His criminal activities then moved to Siambe and on 12 August 2012 he robbed a house of food and cash, and on the same day, he also robbed a family at Tshififi of food and money.

Chikwanda was arrested in September 2012 after he was found in possession of unlicensed fire-arms, which were later identified as those belonging to police officers that were taken during a robbery that happened in March.

For his crimes, Chikwanda was sentenced to 47 years in prison. Brian Mhoko, who was also an accomplice of Chikwanda, was linked to the house robbery at Tshififi that happened in August 2012. He was sentenced to 17 years’ imprisonment for the crime.

“The police are delighted about the whole sentence as we believe it will send a strong message to would-be offenders and be a deterrent in the community. We are happy justice has finally been done,” said Const Avhafarei Tshiovhe of the Thohoyandou police.

New furniture for Makwarela Primary School Makwarela Primary School recently received much-needed desks to the value of R20 000.

The school, with an enrolment of more than 1 600, is faced with many handicaps, such as a lack of furniture, with learners scrambling for chairs and desks.

The school is very overcrowded, with not enough space for some of them.

Well-known insurance company Old Mutual Makhado donated desks to the value of R20 000.

The furniture was handed to the school in the presence of community structures and the local traditional leader and officials from the company.

School principal Silas Rambau said they had around 300 learners who did not have desks. “We are a school in need. Our learners fight for chairs and some do not attend classes, while some have to stand the whole period. We are very happy for the donation and we are calling on others to come on board and assist the school, “ he said.

Alushavhiwi Tshisikule of the local Miluwani civic commended the company for having thought of the school. The local traditional leader, Chief Rembuluwani Mmbara, said the company had done well by donating to the school that was so much in need.

“We have so many companies that come and do business here, but they never think of giving back. We are very excited,” he said.

Handing over the furniture, Mr Azwifaneli Nembudani, sales manager at Makhado Old Mutual, said they had a project, the Staff Community Project, where each staff member was given R20 000 for use in a deserving project of choice.

“Through the project started five years ago, we have done a lot for Vhembe and we are still going to do more. Here is the beginning of a long-lasting relationship,” he said.

High Court throws a lifeline to wives in “old” polygamous marriages A section of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act (RCMA) was declared invalid by the Limpopo High Court this week. This will affect the legal status of thousands of women who entered into “old” polygamous customary marriages and may allow them and their children to share in the estates of their husbands.

The “Netshituka” case, as it

has become commonly known in legal circles, made another appearance in the High Court last month. The case served before Acting Judge Lamminga in the Thohoyandou Court and he gave his ruling on Monday (1st).

The background to the case is the five marriages of the late Masewa Joseph Netshituka.

He had three customary wives, namely Tshinakaho, Masindi and

Diana. He then married another woman, Martha, but this was a civil marriage.

Prior to the RCMA (Act 120 of 1998), spouses in a customary “union” were not regarded as being legally married. Should the husband opt to marry another wife in a civil marriage, the previous unions were automatically dissolved. The wife in such a customary union was known as

As part of the recent Mandela Day celebrations, the Funzanani Educational Support Project cleaned and painted the Tswime Secondary School. In an interview Mr Murendeni Muswede, leader of Funzanani Educational Support, said that the organisation saw the need to clean and paint the dilapidated school. “All the schools we visited this year were in a good condition, but this one desperately needed attention.” In our photo are Muswede (right) and some of the pupils from the school.

a “discarded spouse”. In the case of Joseph Netshituka he was, according to the law, divorced from his previous spouses.

In 1984, Mr Netshituka divorced Martha, his wife in the civil marriage. From what could be established, he continued living with his three former wives.

On 17 January 1997, he entered into another civil marriage with a woman named Joyce. Mr Netshituka died in 2008, leaving a will in which he appointed Joyce as executor of his estate.

The estate included several assets, such as the Why Not Centre in Thohoyandou, currently valued at more than R10 million.

Following his death, one of his customary wives and her daughter took the matter to court, arguing that the marriage to Joyce was not legal.

The legislation that was passed and the dates on which it became effective is very important in the Netshituka case. The Recognition of Customary Marriages Act repealed other acts, such as the Matrimonial Property Law Amendment Act (Act 3 of 1988) and the Black Administration Act of 1927. It was retrospective until 2 December 1988, meaning that all marriages concluded after that date were put on par with each other. A “customary union” was also not automatically dissolved by the civil marriage.

In Netshituka’s case, it was argued that the first marriage with Martha had occurred prior to 1988 and had thus effectively dissolved the previous marriages.

When he married Joyce, he thus did not contravene the Matrimonial Property Law Amendment Act 3 of 1988, which made it illegal for someone in a customary union to contract a civil marriage with another woman.

The High Court agreed with this point of view, but the decision was overturned in 2011 by the Supreme Court of Appeal.

The Supreme Court put a lot of emphasis on the fact that he had continued cohabiting with his customary marriage wives, thus showing his reconciliation with them.

The court held the view that he was still married to his customary-law wives and was thus not competent to enter into a civil marriage with Joyce. The

court did, however, rule that Netshituka’s last will and testament, in which he names Joyce as a beneficiary and the executrix of his estate, was valid and binding.

The children of the late Mr Netshituka never gave up the fight and went to court yet again.

In the latest court battle, the applicants were children from the customary-law wives, namely Matodzi Ramuhovhi (born Netshituka) and Thinamaano Edson Netshituka. The respondents included the SA President, the Minister of Justice, Munyadziwa Joyce Netshituka, and the estate of the late Masewa Joseph Netshituka.

In the court papers, the applicants stated that Mr Netshituka’s last wife, Joyce, had inherited most of the properties but failed to look after his customary wives. “(S)he had (an) obligation to support the deceased’s family (but) failed to do so and continued to enjoy (the) good life while the deceased’s family is suffering,” the affidavit reads.

In their Heads of Argument, the respondents stated that Joyce Netshituka also entered into a customary marriage with her late husband. Their legal representatives argued that all these customary marriages were considered by law to be out of community of property.

They argued that, should the court now opt to see all such marriages as being in community of property, it would lead to “a vista of litigation and disputes and no certainty in law for thousands if not millions of South African citizens.”

The Women’s Legal Centre Trust was admitted as an Amicus Curiae (impartial advisor to the court) in the case and also made a submission. The Centre limited its submission to Section 7(1) of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, arguing that it should be declared invalid, because it breaches the Constitution. The Trust was specifically concerned about what they described as “a particularly vulnerable and marginalized class of women.”

In his judgment, Judge Lamminga ruled that the provisions of section 7(1) of the RCMA discriminates unjustifiably against women in polygamous custom-

ary marriages and is invalid. “The persons in need of protection should not have to suffer the burden of unfairness and discrimination any longer and an interim remedy is necessary in order to extend protection to them, pending the required legislative processes,” he said.

Judge Lamminga ordered that the parties to “old” polygamous customary marriages should enjoy equal rights in and over matrimonial property. He referred to the “living” customary law and emphasized that the core nature of polygamy should be retained to ensure that the rights are exercised for the benefit of the family unit. “The differentiation between family property, house property and personal property should be retained to promote the sustainability of the family unit,” he said.

One of the problems the judge had to address, was the matter of retrospectivity. The defendants pointed out that a retrospective ruling might cause administrative chaos. Judge Lamminga did not limit the retrospectivity of the order of invalidity, except to the extent that it should not affect polygamous customary marriages that have been terminated by death or divorce. “The order should not interfere with completed transactions and provide protection for the interest of third parties,” he said.

The judge’s order has been referred to the Constitutional Court for confirmation. Should this happen, Parliament will have to enact legislation to govern the matrimonial property regimes of those people who entered into polygamous customary marriages before the RCMA came into operation.

Judge Lamminga ordered that interim measures will apply until such time as legislation gets passed. These measures include joint control over the marital property, but a distinction is made between “house property”, “family property” and “personal property”.

The applicants in the case were represented by SO Ravele Attorneys, while Booyens Du Preez & Boshoff Inc Attorneys represented the estate of Masewe Joseph Netshituka and Munyadziwa Joyce Netshituka.

Folovhodwe Breakers narrowly beat Santos Leopards to play opening match in Durban In their opening match of the Tshikosi Off-season Soccer Tournament at the Khubvi Benjies grounds on Sunday, Folovhodwe Stone Breakers narrowly beat Mulodi Young Santos 1-0 to secure a place in the quarterfinals.

The game was characterized by wasted scoring opportunities.

Young Santos were the first

to miss a fortune. Their fast forward, Rendani Mavunga, hesitated to unleash for far too long just outside the box and ultimately lost possession. This after he had received a neat pass from Mashudu Mudau.

As if that was not good enough to upset the team’s fans, Andani Phalanndwa committed a similar blunder moments

thereafter. Stone Breakers took the game to Santos soon afterwards. They managed to create three obvious chances before the teams adjourned for half time. In the first instance, their right winger, Hulisani Nefolovhodwe, shot wide from close range, following a square pass from Lawrence Ramasimu in the 34th minute.

Santos played defensive football in the last 15 minutes of the last half. At that stage, Breakers were all over them. Stone Breakers effected two changes to their starting line-up early in the last half. They replaced Willy Ramokgobedi and Tshifhiwa Netshiavha with Khathutshelo Ratshiedana and Zwivhuya Netshiavha respectively. Santos threatened to score in the 67th minute when Andani Phalanndwa’s volley hit the woodwork and bounced back into the field of play.

Breakers were awarded a penalty in the 75th minute after Rendani Mavunga handled the ball within the box. Khumbelo Luambo tried his luck from the penalty spot, but the Santos keeper executed a brilliant save.

Stone Breakers’ all-important goal came via Hulisani Nefolovhodwe in the 86th minute.

He headed home, following Andani Phalanndwa of Young Santos hooks the ball,while a square pass from Mukovhe Nthatheni Zitha of Stone Breakers is on the way to intercept. Thomani.

Madridtas and Sapro in Tshikosi quarter finals The quarterfinal matches of the Tshikosi Off-season Soccer Tournament will be played this weekend. Two matches will be played at the Makonde Home Defenders grounds tomorrow and the remaining two will be staged at the same venue on Sunday.

Tomorrow’s programme will commence with a match between Folovhodwe Stone Breakers and Rambuda Young Fighters. Stone Breakers’ way to the quarterfinal stage went via Mulodi Young Santos, whom they beat 1-0 at the Khubvi

Benjies grounds last Sunday. Rambuda Young Fighters beat Mulodi Freedom Birds to book a place in the quarterfinal round of the tournament.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 13:00.

Ficus FC and Khubvi Dangerous Darkies will test each other’s strength soon afterwards.

Ficus booked a place in the quarterfinal stage without kicking the ball. Their match against Phandulaluvalo FC, which was supposed to have been played last

Saturday, was declared a walk-over after Phandulaluvalo failed to produce identity documents for the players before the kickoff as required by the rules and regulations for the tournament.

Darkies’ road to the quarterfinal was not an easy one. They scored a lucky late goal to register a 1-0 victory at the expense of Mutale Vikings.

Sunday will see Madridtas lock horns with Sambandou United Professionals, or Sapro as they are affectionately called.

Madridtas beat Matangari High Aims 6-5 in their opening match last Sunday. The match is scheduled to start at 13:00.

Mukula Young Santos will have a date with Musasenda Big V at 15:00. The players to watch in the quarterfinal matches are Gundo Netshiheni of Dangerous Darkies, Ernot Dzaga of Madridtas and Hulisani Nefolovhodwe of Folovhodwe Stone Breakers.

The final will be played at the same venue next Sunday, 14 August.

Kelly Matswiki did the Louis Trichardt Gymnastics Club proud, winning more than one gold medal during the Zani’s Gymnastics Competition held in Polokwane on Saturday. This is only the second year since she started with her classes.

Tshivhase the hero in Darkies’ victory Khubvi Dangerous Darkies secured a place in the quarterfinal stage of the Tshikosi Off-season Soccer Tournament by beating Mutale Vikings 1-0 at the Makonde Home Defenders grounds on Sunday.

The score was not a true reflection of the game as Darkies squandered numerous scoring chances before blowing the trumpet late in the game.

Darkies’ captain, Avhatakali “Ace” Tshivhase, was a marvel to watch. He was everywhere, initiating dangerous moves from the middle of the park, while at the same time playing as a full striker.

Vikings had their first chance in the 14th minute when Talifhani Mudalahothe went loose from the left corner and lost possession before unleashing.

The Vikings' attempt was a wake-up call to the Darkies’ midfielders. They created numerous moves from behind, but their strikers let them down by shooting aimlessly at the goal finish. Their overlapping midfielder, Meshack Ramafamba, watched in disbelief as his half volley hit the crossbar and bounced back into play in the 26th minute.

The game turned lukewarm in the last 15 minutes of the first half as both sides played aerial balls from behind. Avhatakali Tshivhase of Darkies was reprimanded with a card for a continued argument

with the referee.

Darkies were all over Vikings in the last half but it was difficult for them to beat the Vikings’ rock-solid defence. The goal that separated the boys from the men came in the 68th minute. A defender of Vikings, Fhatuwani Rakuambo, passed the ball back to his keeper and Avhatakali Tshivhase intercepted the move and beat the keeper with a ground cutter.

Vikings did not give in without a fight. They kept on knocking on the opponents’ door until the final whistle was blown.

Humbulani the new champ Humbulani Netshamutshedzi was crowned the new WBF junior welterweight champion during The King Boxing Tournament that was staged at the Thohoyandou Town Hall last Saturday evening.

He beat the favorite, Norman Tshisikhawe, on points over 12 rounds. He dominated the fight, with the excep-

tion of rounds five and nine.

The main supporting bout between the Malawian national, Chimwemwe Chiotcha, and Nthutako Memela was a thriller.

Chiotcha looked relaxed in the first two rounds as he was still studying

his opponent from Kwamashu Township in Durban. It was in the third round that the Malawian started to take the fight to Memela, who looked weary until the time keeper rang the final bell. It was not surprising that Chiotcha was unanimously declared the winner.

The referee, Mr Samuel Mashila, was forced to stop the fight in the fourth round. At that stage, Neluvhalani had turned Ndou into a punching bag, throwing killer punches from left and right.

Things did not go according to plan for the resident of Ngovhela village, Tendani Munyai. His bantamweight fight against Rofhiwa Nemushungwa was a one-sided affair, with Nemushungwa showing no mercy to Munyai from the onset.

Mpfariseni Khorommbi was by far the best in his lightweight fight against Steven Dewu.
