Service delivery protests grind Mutoti to a standstill

Where is our water?

“

”

This is a no-go area; protestors barricaded the road linking Thohoyandou and Malamulele.

The message written all over, their demand is for water. Here angry protesters, who included pupils from local schools, take to the streets during the protest.

These two young children did not want to be left out. They wanted to add their voices that they also want water.

Service delivery protests and labour strikes have become the norm in South Africa.

Some of these protests are becoming violent and come at a cost; in some cases, the loss of lives and the destruction of property.

These types of protests usually took place in townships, however, and were mostly unheard of in rural areas.

Of late, they have also been spreading to rural villages, where residents are tired of being denied essential and basic services.

One such community is the Mutoti community in Thohoyandou.

The community is just a stone’s throw from the long-completed multibillion-rand Nandoni Dam in the Vhembe District. The dam was completed in 2006, but the Mutoti community and surrounding villages still have to taste a drop of water from the dam.

Many promises have been made, which came from even some of the highest offices in the country.

Ministers have visited this dam, trying to figure out what is delaying the provision of water to local com-

munities, and more especially those next to the dam.

Many left the area after promising to do something about their situation, but the communities continue to go thirsty.

This has not gone down well with local residents.

Now the more than 400 families from three adjacent villages have decided that enough is enough. On Monday, they blocked the main road from Thohoyandou to Malamulele just next to the dam, and traffic from Malamulele to Thohoyandou had to make the long journey via Basani.

“Without water there is no life” (From page 1) Many could not make it in time for work as the road remained closed the whole day.

Even workers from the Department of Water Affairs could not go out for work as their base was barricaded and their trucks could not go out.

Officials from the Thulamela and Vhembe municipalities and those from Water Affairs arrived at the scene, but were not given an audience. They could be seen having their meeting not far from the protestors, who had made it clear they would not tolerate any official other than the mayor of Thulamela, Cllr Grace Mahosi. They claim she and her councillor owed them an explanation as to why they were not getting water, even though they were just at the gate of the dam.

Community leader Jackson Modisapudi said they had done all in their power to follow protocol, but they had received no help. He said they arrived at the road in the early hours of the morning and were not prepared to leave the area until Mayor Mahosi had addressed them. “'We have written letters, we have visited offices and even met ministers, but we continue to go without water. Some of the surrounding villages are getting water from our place,” said Modisapudi.

He added that they had been promised a borehole and that three months had passed with nothing happening in their area. They also demanded that municipal water tankers should fill their reservoir with water, rather than for water tankers to

be brought to the village. ''Water is life and without water there is no life. We do not have even a drop here, and sometimes our people are forced to cross the busy main road to go looking for water. Our lives have come to a standstill,'' said Modisapudi.

People living next to the dam have been experiencing problems for a long time. They have raised their plight at different platforms, including meeting the then Public Protector, Lawrence Mushwana, as well as a delegation from the national council of provinces, which visited the area on a fact-finding mission.

The Vhembe District municipality, in conjunction with the Limpopo provincial government, said they had requested more than half-a-billion rand from the national treasury to complete the project, after the inferior pipes used by a contractor burst.

The previous contractor was paid nearly that sum for shoddy work. Government has chosen the litigation route, which has been going on for a long time now.

During her visit to the Vhembe region, ANC national chairperson Baleka Mbete compared the dam to a nice holiday resort in Mauritius, but said she was disappointed that the local people were not drinking water from the dam.

The issue of the Nandoni Dam has become a thorny matter for the local municipalities, provincial government and national department, with no one seeming to have an answer as to what is happening. At all com-

munity meetings, the issue of water is at the top of all agendas.

Local communities recently raised the matter with Minister of Cooperative Governance Richard Baloyi during an imbizo at Malamulele.

Meanwhile, residents say they are buying water from the same Nandoni Dam at R2 per 25 litres from people who have pipes in adjacent villages. Some claim that they use the same water twice to wash themselves in order to save money.

At the time of going to press, protesters had given the municipality time “to fix up its mess”, with the promise of a prolonged strike that would see everything in the area coming to a standstill.

Vhembe District Municipality spokesperson Matodzi Ralushai said they knew about the plight of the people at Mutoti. "We are busy laying a pipe from the purification plant that will take water to the village.

These people have a point.

Water cannot be used in faraway villages while they who are living next to the dam having nothing to drink. We are also going to install a borehole which will supplement the water from the dam as an interim measure. As you know, we have big construction taking place in the area,” said Ralushai.

He said they had also dispatched tankers to the village, which will serve as an temporary intervention. "We are happy the situation is back to normal and our constructors have been given space to work," said Ralushai.

Abandoned baby found in Eltivillas

This baby was found abandoned.

The Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) of the police in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) is looking for any information that can assist them in tracing the biological parent of an unknown baby who was found abandoned at Eltivillas on 11 August.

According to the spokesperson for the Makhado police, Capt Maano Sadiki, the baby was found wrapped in a white towel in a deserted house. The baby has since been taken to a place of safety, while police investigations to trace the baby's biological parent continue. The police strongly believe, however, that with the assistance of community members in the vicinity of Eltivilas, more light could be shed on the matter.

Anyone with information that can assist the police with the investigation can contact Const Jeritta Rasilabi at 072 353 2865 at all hours.

It has been a wonderful year of engagement regarding issues of human sexuality within the context of marriage.

It was one sensitive issue, but at the same time exciting to know that human sexuality is in the vocabulary of God and the God of salvation is also the God of creation who, for the benefit of humanity, also created sex. I would like to move on and look closely at the issue of ‘dealing with storms in your marriage’ as we draw closer to the end of the year.

I believe that there is a lot that we can explore regarding this issue, and as a result would also like you to engage me through comments and questions. I will ensure that I attend from time to time to your questions and comments.

The rationale behind engaging in this theme of ‘dealing with the storms in your marriage’ is that the majority of marriages that I know are experiencing storms of their

own. I can conclude in this regard, without fear of contradiction, that even the very best of marriages have had to deal with conflicts of their own as couples grow in their love for one another.

The most challenging thing, though, is the lack of ability to handle or deal with such storms.

As a result, many marriages (Christian marriages included) are falling apart, some ending up in divorce, and some ending up in a setup of ‘marriage of convenience’ or ‘separated whilst staying together’. When talking of a marriage of convenience, we are talking about marriages where couples continue to be married in name only, for the sake of their children or the wealth that they have generated together.

The foregoing is an unfortunate sorry state of many marriages, and as a result we need to look closely at this problem and the best ways to deal with it. Such efforts are designed to bring hope and remedy or cure.

This is to say that all is not doom and gloom. Some have weathered similar storms and emerged intact – they emerged stronger and smarter from the lessons drawn from their experiences, and therefore we can draw inspiration from those as we undertake the journey to remedy ours. The most critical question that we need to answer, though, is the ‘how’.

How do we deal with storms in our marriages? Answering this question will firstly require more time and the matter will be dealt with in the weeks to come.

Secondly, it requires that we start off by pointing out some of the storms that couples encounter in their marriages, namely: (1) a power struggle; (2) interference from the side of the parents; (3) money issues; (4) communication; (5) abuse; (6) infidelity; and (7) children. These are just a few examples that we will be dealing with as we continue.

Lack of services makes life a nightmare for Vuwani Ext 2 have boreholes. The villagers say that they spend more than R100 each week to buy water. They are being charged R50 per drum and R5 per 25-litre container. When we visited the area two weeks ago, the villagers pointed out that they are living with the constant fear of contracting diseases when they have to use water from nearby streams. One of the residents, Ms Sophie Ramanyimi, said that she had gone for days without bathing because of the lack of water. "The treatment meted out to us (by the municipality) goes to show that the government does not take us seriously," she said. She said leaders only took people seriously during election time. “We have been without water, electricity and

streets since 1978,” said Sophie.

Another angry resident, Mr Takalani Mulaudzi, said community representatives met with Mr Ham Mulaudzi, a manager at the Makhado Municipality's Vuwani office, to raise their problems. "He promised us that he was going to attend to our grievances, but we are still waiting for him to respond to us as he had promised,” he said. Mulaudzi said that they were not satisfied with the service from both the Vhembe District Municipality and the Makhado Municipality.

The Vhembe district's spokesperson, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, said that residents of Vuwani Extension 2 had made illegal water connections and that was why they could not get water, since they were still dealing with these illegal connections. He warned community members that people could be arrested and prosecuted for making such illegal connections. He urged the community to report such illegal activities.

“As government, we are trying by all means possible to provide water, but people are preventing poor people from getting water. We therefore appeal to residents to stop this practice and to legalise their water connections," he said.

The Makhado Municipality's spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, said that residents occupied the land illegally and the municipality wouldn't be able to provide services until this matter was sorted out by following the proper procedures.

The village has had no streets, electricity and taps for the past 34 years. The residents are now accusing the Makhado and Vhembe municipalities of failing to provide an explanation for the lack of water, electricity and streets. They say the municipality does not dispatch water tankers to supply them with water either. The residents of these areas have to push wheelbarrows to fetch water from the neighbouring village where residents

Taxi associations battle over routes Passengers are starting to fear for their lives amidst the on-going war between two rival taxi associations, the Sinthumule/KutamaJo’burg Association and the Dzanani II Taxi Association.

Commuters who travel long distances say they have become collateral damage in this dispute over routes.

Mr Sguadi Machaba, chairperson of the Sinthumule/Kutama-Jo’burg Association, said that they live in constant fear of being killed, following the resurgence of taxi violence between the two taxi rivals. The two taxi associations are fighting over lucrative routes in the Sinthumule/Kutama areas.

Machaba said that his association’s members were being stopped by their rivals and instructed to offload their passengers. They are also accused of “illegally” operating on this route.

“We are willing to sit down and talk to the Dzanani II Taxi Association, but if they refuse then there is nothing we can do, because we are still going to operate on this route,” he said. Machaba said they were “sick and tired” of the Dzanani II Taxi Association’s intimidation tactics. He said

that they were not illegally operating on someone else’s routes. “We operate to Johannesburg, not from Kutama to Makhado,” he said. Machaba called on the authorities to resolve the conflict before innocent people die. He said there was no way his association was going to back down.

The Dzanani II operators accuse the Sinthumule/Kutama-Jo’burg association of invading their territory and snatching customers. “These Sinthumule/Kutama-Jo’burg taxi drivers are actually making business difficult for us by snatching away our customers and, at the end of the day, we gain nothing. What makes it worse is that most of their vehicles do not have permits to operate as taxis,” said Mr Sandani Radzuma, PRO of the Dzanani II Taxi Association.

Michael Malulese, who regularly travels between Sinthumule/Kutama and Johannesburg, said commuters continued to put their lives at risk, because taxis were quicker than other means of public transport. “The fear is always there. What the industry doesn’t understand is that these fights affect us more than taxi operators. We are caught in the middle of a conflict that has nothing to do with us,” he said.

It is alleged that a fight broke out between taxi operators last Thursday at the Madombidzha filling station. A Dzanani II Taxi Association driver was allegedly hit with a rock by a member of the Sinthumule/Kutama -Jo’burg association.

A member of the rival association allegedly produced a gun after the Jo’burg taxi Albert Ramaligela and Manase Moshapo, two members of the refused to offload his Sinthumule/Kutama-Jo’burg Association. passengers.

Boyfriend arrested for student’s murder The family of a student who was found brutally murdered at her home in Phadzima at Nzhelele a fortnight ago has thanked the police for arresting the suspected killer .

Siloam police have confirmed that they had arrested Lufuno Managa (27) in connection with the murder. Managa was the boyfriend of Lufuno Mavhunga. They were allegedly together on the night of her death at her home. Managa allegedly murdered her after she apparently answered her phone in the middle of the night. Mavhunga was staying alone and studying at Vhembe FET College’s Makwarela Campus.

Her mother, Petunia Mavhunga, is relieved that a suspect has been arrested. “I know that my daughter won’t come back, but justice must take its course,” she said.

According to a police spokesperson, the suspect had confessed to committing the crime. He appeared in court last Tuesday (28 August). The case was postponed to October 25 and the suspect remains behind bars.

Members of the Phadzima community welcomed the police’s efforts to trace and arrest the suspect

successfully. They also said that they would support the family of Mavhunga and go to court whenever the suspect appeared before the magistrate.

The village’s headman, Vho-Radzilani Zwokundavhalai, said that his people’s confidence in the police had been restored. “We now trust the police and we are sure the suspect will be fairly charged for the crime,” he said.

“Hospital CEO must step down” - Nehawu The National Education Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) is accusing the chief executive officer of the Musina Hospital, Mr Simon Netshivhambe, of corruption and maladministration.

Nurses who are members of the union were picketing outside the hospital last Wednesday and Thursday, demanding that Netshivhambe step down. Nehawu’s regional chairperson, Mr Marcus Masindi, said that Netshivhambe had failed to provide “strategic leadership”. According to him, factions in the hospital are negatively affecting the patients.

He added that Netshivhambe was in conflict with a lot of people and members of staff and that there was no development of services at the hospital. “It is all due to the CEO’s internal fighting,” Masindi says. He further said that service delivery had been severely compromised, due to the lack of leadership and the mismanagement of funds within the hospital.

When contacted for comment, the provincial

spokesperson for the Department of Health and Welfare, Sinenhlanlha Gumede, said: “Write that the communication officer is unable to comment on this matter.”

Now you can cut your water heating costs by up to 67%

Before you run that bath, think of the electricity you’re using. Water heating accounts for up to 40% of your monthly electricity bill.

But there’s good news: If you install a heat pump to heat your water, you can cut your water heating by up to 67% depending on environmental conditions.* A heat pump is an energy efficient water heating technology. It is a simple device that uses little energy to transfer heat to your water. This reduces your dependence on the constrained power grid.

We’ll pay you to install a heat pump!

Another Malawian car smuggler arrested Zimbabwean police at Beit Bridge have arrested 32 suspects along the borderline, one of them a Malawian car smuggler who was intercepted after a dramatic high-speed chase along the Beit BridgeMasvingo road.

The local police spokesperson, Chief Supt Lawrence Chinhengo, said the arrests were made between Monday and Friday during an ongoing anti-smuggling operation along the Limpopo River.

He said the Malawian suspect, Juma Charles Moyo (26), was arrested on Friday at around 03:00 after a high-speed chase. His vehicle, a Limpopo-registered Toyota Hilux, rammed into a stationary haulage truck at a rail crossing point along the Beit Bridge-Masvingo road.

The car is suspected to have

been stolen from Polokwane.

Moyo sustained a fractured leg and a chest injury as a result of the accident and he was taken to the Beit Bridge District Hospital.

Moyo has since appeared in court and the case was postponed to 17 September. He remains in custody.

“We arrested 32 suspects, 28 of whom are accused of being smugglers, while the other six are allegedly involved in assisting border jumpers in crossing the border into South Africa illegally through undesignated entry points along the Limpopo River.”

He said they had also recovered a stolen Toyota Corolla, abandoned along the Beit BridgePanda Mine road, after the two suspects, both Malawians, had fled from the scene. The vehicle was also stolen in Limpopo

Province.

Chinhengo said they had also intercepted two locally registered vehicles, a Toyota Raider and a Toyota Hi-ace kombi, carrying a consignment of 40 boxes of tomatoes smuggled from farms neighbouring Musina. The consignments were reportedly destined for Bulawayo.

“We also recovered flea markets goods worth thousands of rands, which were smuggled into the country through illegal crossing points along the Limpopo River.

“As police, our aim is to curb smuggling and other criminal activities occurring along the border. I am glad that, since the launch of the operation, we have seen positive results, and we intend to cast the net even wider,” Chinhengo said.

The Tshimbupfe home-based care volunteers recently handed over food parcels to needy families as part of the government´s programme of supporting needy families.

Well-known motivational speaker, author and academic Nkhumbuleni Ratshitanga, who launched a poetry book in honour of former president Nelson Mandela only last month, is at it again.

Ratshitanga, a traditional leader at Ngulummbi outside Thohoyandou, recently released a sizzling album, Pfunzo Ndi Ifa. The album, which comes on the heels of another topselling motivational album, Born to Achieve, was released a fortnight ago and was formally launched during an event held at the University of Venda.

Ratshitanga, who works at Univen, is very passionate about education and recently received a master’s degree in public management from the University of Venda.

He said the album was a compilation of motivational material that would inspire all people, but mostly the youth, to take education seriously.

The nine-track album is fast finding its way into the hearts of music lovers.

During a recent Women’s Day celebration at Univen, Ratshitanga performed some tracks from the album.

“Music is a vehicle that carries messages to all.

Music is played everywhere and I hope I will be able to reach my target audience. I know the importance of education, and I have seen it change Doing what he knows best, Ratshitanga lives,” he added.

Several awards for the top achievers in adult education in Limpopo Province The province’s top adult education achievers for 2011 received awards during a function held at the Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre (KSCC) a fortnight ago. The learners, who also included inmates at the prison, were honoured by the Limpopo Department of Education’s Adult Education and Training (AET) section.

Some 20 achievers received trophies and certifi-

cates during the function. A prisoner at the KSCC, Zachariah Ncube, managed to attain six distinctions in AET level 4. His impressive results secured him the prize as overall best learner at the institution.

Ncube worked very hard in the past years and had to start from Special Education (equivalent to Grade R) and work his way up to level 4.

Mrs Mavis Mathonsi (37) received the award as

the best learner in the Vuwani Circuit Cluster. She managed to obtain six distinctions in her exams last year. She studied at the Mutangwa Manugu Learning Centre in Tsianda. “The award will motivate me to further my studies now,” she said. She plans on studying further in auxiliary nursing.

The stakeholders who had come to witness the achievement by the prisoners and civilians included

delegates from the Makhado Municipality, local chiefs, the Limpopo Department of Education and an internationally acclaimed gospel artist, Winnie Mashaba.

In his motivational speech, Dr MP Mulaudzi said that the first thing that education should do was to equip the individual with the capacity to identify and solve problems using critical and creative thinking skills. “The White Paper clarifies that the right to basic education is a legal entitlement which every person has a claim to,” he said. “Then it’s up to every individual to claim it.”

KSCC’s educational flagship, Thusano Centre, was declared the best centre in the Vhembe District for 2011.

The gospel artist Winnie Mashaba told inmates and guests that she is currently a full-time AET learner in the Capricorn District. “I am on Level 4,” she said. “I had failed to enter matric, due to personal problems in 2001, but I think this is my second chance to achieve my goal of having some education now.”

Local graduate student now a communication specialist Annually, the SA Post Office opens its doors to budding graduates. These individuals have completed their degrees and seek to implement their theoretical knowledge in working environments.

Last year, 55 graduates participated in the graduate programme for unemployed youths. The programme grants experiential exposure or internship opportunities. It caters for unemployed graduates to complement the formal or theoretical knowledge already acquired.

Experienced employees serve as coaches for the graduates in a drive to achieve the level of competence required per area of work.

Originally from Thohoyandou, Pretoria resident Emma Tshatsinde joined the SA Post Office’s 12-month graduate programme, coupled with an honors degree in Corporate Communication.

The communications manager, Mr Johan Kruger, played a pivotal role in ensuring that Tshatsinde acquired all the skills needed to succeed in the programme.

“Emma showed all the qualities that the SA Post Office looks for in a potential employee. When she first arrived, she was always eager to learn and took initiative,” says Kruger.

“The SA Post Office has offered me many lessons, both personally and professionally. I had to adjust quickly from being a student to being a member of a large organisation,” added Tshatsinde.

Her attitude and understanding that one needs to develop a “thick skin” when necessary, found her taking on more challenging responsibilities - although the transition from student to worker may have occurred quickly. Today, Tshatsinde is employed as a Communication Specialist.

A strong believer in the grooming of young women, Tshatsinde believes young women ought to take advantage of being empowered in every possible way. She stresses that there are few female leaders - “it is important that we develop a society of self-sufficient young women. This way, we’re guaranteed some future female leaders,” says Tshatsinde.

According to her, working for the Post Office

has offered her many opportunities, the opportunity to acquire practical but for her there is one particular requirements for entry in the particuhighlight. “My greatest achievement lar field of expertise,” says Kruger. remains having hosted the previous CEO at the women’s month celebrations in August.

I was responsible for ensuring a venue, sourcing caterers and entertainment during the celebrations and organising the motivational speakers,” she added.

Through learnership programmes, the SA Post Office and organisations alike offer solutions in equipping the students with skills which potentially minimise the figures of youth unemployment.

“The SA Post Office’s graduate programmes have been designed to allow graduates to follow a structured learning programme. This gives them Emma Tshatsinde.

New Life after Prison spreads its wings to Gauteng Surprise for visionary mother Members of the newly formed New Life after Prison Community Forum were warmly welcomed when they recently visited Pretoria Prison Management Area.

The organisation, which looks after offenders, was recently formed in the Thohoyandou area and has already made its presence felt by donating working tools to released ex-offenders in Limpopo.

During their visit in Pretoria, they

handed over four welding and two sewing machines to six ex-offenders, which will help them start their lives afresh.

The founder of the organisation, Pastor Ndikandafhi Makhuvha, said they felt they should spread their wings and cover the whole country. “When offenders are released from prison, they face many challenges, such as finding employment, lack of money and rejection by their own people. We took this opportunity to take

Recipients of the machines pose with officials from the prison and the New Life After Prison organisation during the handing-over ceremony.

From:

As Women’s Month drew to a close, an illiterate woman who, against all odds and despite her meagre income from odd jobs, had ensured that all her children were educated, received a pleasant surprise when they honoured her.

Granny Meriam Kanakana (78) of Dzwerani singlehandedly raised her four daughters after her divorce.

She worked for a local sisal project, where she earned only a pittance, but out of the little she earned she ensured that all of them attended school. Today her daughters are all professionals.

Livhuwani Ngwana is a teacher and the brains behind the Nyavhumbwa wa Dagaila Cultural Village, which aims to revive the Venda culture; Chief Tshililo Kanakana is a businesswoman and owns Vhomakhadzi Funeral services; Chief Avhasei Khangale is a prison official in Pretoria and Mukondeleli Kanakana is head of the Industrial Engineering Depart-

care of offenders and give them a new lease on life. We will continue being of help to the ex-offenders and we also urge communities to do their part in this initiative,” said Makhuvha.

He also urged businesspeople to help with donations that will help to cater for offenders. The former regional correctional commissioner of Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Northwest, Chief Watson Tshivhase, who was present during the ceremony, hailed the initiative, saying it would give offenders a second chance in life. “Unlike other offenders who are forced to go back to prison because of circumstances, they will have something to do, such as welding and sewing. They will now only focus on their jobs,” he said.

One of the parolees, Ms Sibongile Khumalo, who spent four years in prison, said the only challenges that she met was finding employment after leaving prison.

“New Life after prison came as an answer to my prayers. The sewing machine that I received will make a meaningful change in my life. I am going to start my life all over again,” she said.

ment at the Tswane University of Technology. Her children have not forgotten their roots.

During a function on Women’s Day, the children gave their mother a pleasant surprise. “We have donors here who made this event a success, but there is one sponsor who deserves special mention - it is my mother,” said Chief Tshililo Kanakana. “Our poverty was known all over the village. Nobody ever thought anything good could come out of the family, but our mother never lost hope and always told us we should be educated, so as to turn our situation around,” she said.

“All of us are successful today and we all owe our achievements to her. We therefore felt that when other women were being honoured throughout the country, we should give her this special honour. She is everything to us. She is second to no other woman in this world and we will always remember her tireless efforts in bringing us up,” she said.

Madombidzha Arsenal celebrate success Madombidzha Arsenal, who performed well last season and lost in the final of the Vhembe District and Mulondoli Lifestyle competition, celebrated their success with parents and players during an event held at Madombidzha on Saturday.

The team received R25 000 for ending as runners-up. During the event, players received cash prizes. According to the secretary of the team, Mr Trinity Tshivhula, they organised the

event to encourage their players.

“We want the standard of play to improve and also to boost our players’ morale,” he added.

Tshivhula said that the team was being run from the pockets of the officials.

During the ceremony, Dr Fhulufhelo Tshivhula appealed to the players to refrain from assaulting match officials.

He also reiterated the fact that it was bad for a team to win matches through the bribing of

match officials. He appealed to players to go and work hard and not to relax, as the team regarded them as role models for young people.

He stated that he was convinced that the team would produce stars that would receive international recognition soon.

He said that the team must produce players who could follow one of their former players, Phumudzo Manenzhe, who now plays for Orlando Pirates.

The Eltivillas Cricket Club recently donated the new cricket nets to Eltivillas Primary School. According to Jiwa, their aim was to promote cricket in the rural black communities. He thanked all the donors who had assisted the club in constructing the nets. The members of the Eltivillas Cricket Club also worked hard towards the establishing of the nets, Jiwa said. The members of the club committee are Yahya Jiwa (president), Munaf Jolly (secretary), Nasif Raja, Farid Aboo, Imraan Bhatia and Hanif Jolly.

Photo left: Young Khaif Patel from Eltivillas Primary scored an impressive 105 not out in a cricket match against Louis Trichardt Primary on Tuesday. What makes this innings remarkable is the fact that young Khaif only recently turned nine and he was playing in a team consisting of older players, some of whom are 12 and 13 years old. To top off a fine afternoon, young Khaif also took six wickets when he was brought on to bowl.

According to the spokesperson for the Makhado SAPS, Capt Maano Sadiki, the police were loading trial-awaiting prisoners into a police van to transfer them to the Thohoyandou Prison, when Banda managed to escape.

This month is Heritage Month. Is it still relevant to observe your heritage and culture and those of the other citizens of the “Rainbow Nation”? Our reporter Phathutshedzo Luvhengo, or Baggio, as we call him, asked the views of some of our readers regarding Heritage Month.

Marubini Mashavhela (24) from Waterval: “As an African, I respect my tradition. I embrace Heritage Month. This month, people easily show their culture. I think people should try to display their culture freely, since this month gives everyone the opportunity to express who they are.”

Nnditsheni Nyamutambo (45) from Dzanani Township (Biaba): “I don’t think South Africans are doing enough. It’s about time as things are happening to fast. No one must be blamed for this. Some people still believe that being educated means being good at abandoning your culture to appease western culture. Heritage must today mean reviving practices done in the past.”

Tendani Madilonga (26) from Dzanani, Vhutuwangadzebu: “I think people are no longer celebrating their culture like before. We should always remember where we come from. We must visit our museums, as it will remind us of what happened before and how we would secure and inherit our culture to the next generation.”

Maria Matodzi (55) from Ha-Mandiwana: “Most elderly people still know their tradition. This is the month to try and convince young people to display their culture and their traditional customs proudly. Most children today do not want to wear traditional attire such as tsindi, shedo or misisi.

The elders should use this month as a platform to encourage the young generation to show proudly who they are.”

Thabang Khorombi (14) from Muduluni, Ha-Kutama: “Cultural celebration is good for our rainbow nation.

This month, everyone must express their feelings about their culture.

Heritage month helps the young generation to genuinely learn most of the things about their culture.”

Richard Ratombo (49) from Ha-Kutama: “People are no longer following their tradition. Traditional leaders with their people should practise those cultural activities. If possible, they must also set rules to tie people to practise those important traditional activities.”

Tshilidzi Matidza (27) from Madombid­ zha Zone 2: “Culture

should be embraced. This month, people should continuously wear their traditional clothes, otherwise young children will lose their culture. If people used this month to teach their children traditional values and norms, their children wouldn’t forget about their culture and it would be sustained.”

Jaco Livhuwani Raliphanda (31) from Gogobole: “There are people who ignore Heritage Month, but that doesn’t mean everyone ignores Heritage Day. I think we should consider the importance of this day and show all the customs which show the importance of our culture. More especially, this month we must eat our traditional food.” Tshilidzi Davhana (36) from Tshiozwi: “This month is important. It reminds us about our tradition, but today people don’t celebrate Heritage Month like before. People used to celebrate this month from day one until the last day of the month.

Today, the month is just like every month of the year, but it doesn’t mean people should not celebrate this day. It is still an important month.”

Mulalo Mpharasi (27) from Madombid­ zha: “We should consider this month to be important in our culture.

It also reminds us of how important our culture is.

If people eat traditional food, it won’t only show the impor- Mr Nnditsheni Nya­ tance of their culture, mu­t ambo (45) from but will also keep them Dzanani Township healthy”.

Nemapate is back with a bang After vanishing from the music scene for two solid years, a resident of Ngovhela village, Khathu Nemapate, has made a comeback with his third album.

The new release, Kha nne ndi lufuno, was recorded at the Burning Shack Studio in Thohoyandou three months ago. It was released on 20 August.

The new album comprises five Venda reggae songs and the songs are already instant hits.

Nemapate is one of the local artists whose music is growing with time. His debut album, Vhuyani hayani, was released in 2008. Songs like Ni nndelela badi and Promotion made him a household name in the local music in-

dustry. Two years down the line, Nemapate resurfaced with a second album, Ndo tshinya mini. At that stage, the demand for the first album was still high. Just like the debut album, Ndo tshinya mini’s market performance was far beyond Nemapate’s expectation.

Nemapate, a social worker by profession, revealed that he had worked with Khakhathi Tshisikule of Khakhathi and Friends fame and Shufflers Ragimana on the new album. His wife, Caroline, composed one song, Ni nndadza nga bayi, on the new album.

Trucker fined for attempting to smuggle copper into SA A 28-year-old Zimbabwean truck driver, employed by a Cape Town haulage company, was given a choice between a US$500 fine or two months in jail on Friday for attempting to smuggle more than 600kg of stolen copper cables worth R100 000 into South Africa through the Beit Bridge Border Post.

The stolen copper cables were concealed inside two spare wheels of the truck.

Mateyo Mazorodze, who resides in Chitungwiza, was convicted on his own plea

of guilty of illegal possession of copper by a local magistrate, Ms Gloria Takundwa.

The stolen copper was also forfeited to the state as part of the sentence.

The prosecutor, Mr Jabulani Mberesi, said Mazorodze had arrived at the Beit Bridge Border Post on 29 August, driving a Western Cape-registered haulage truck, which was towing an empty trailer. He was coming from Harare and heading to Cape Town.

The court heard that upon completing the customs formalities, he indicated that

the truck was empty.

However, as part of the customs procedures, the truck was taken to the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) container depot for a scanner check, leading to the discovery of the contraband hidden inside the two spare wheels and Mazorodze was subsequently arrested.

It was further established that the cables, weighing 610kg, which Mazorodze had intended to smuggle into South Africa, belonged to the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA).

Crystal Palace and Academy in a thrilling draw

Rewards for Celtic’s best

In their rehearsal match at the Makwarela Stadium on Saturday, Tshifulanani Crystal Palace drew 2-2 with Makwarela Development Stars.

Palace demonstrated their hunger for goals from the first whistle. It took them seven minutes to find the net.

Their all-rounder, Mulalo Thiba, received a neat pass from Lindelani “Kubaji” Netshifhefhe and unleashed a volley from the 35-meter area. The ball hit the crossbar and went across the goal line. The keeper of Academy, Luambo Mudau, watched helplessly as the ball

Madombidzha Celtic rewarded players during their annual awards ceremony, held at the Makhado Christian Centre in Madombidzha on Saturday evening.

Mr Michael Malange, the public relations officer of the team, appealed to businesspeople to get involved in promoting local activities. He added that his team had been operating for many years without a sponsorship.

Malange thanked P&L Hardware and other sponsors for developing soccer in the rural areas and said it was very wise for companies to plough back what they received from the community. He stated that it was important that future stars’ talent should be identified at grassroots level.

During the ceremony, Cllr David Davhana said that sport without education was nothing. “You can be a star today and be written off the following day. Education will never forsake you, and you can bank on it,” he added.

Davhana said young ones must regard stars as role models, irrespective of whether they were educated or not. He criticised young people who are involved in drugs.

“Imagine players who are supposed to be role models, selling dagga to others. What type of future leaders are we expecting from that generation?

hit the back of the net.

That was a wake-up call to the home side. They regrouped from behind and started to play like a united team. The defence of Palace denied them two sure goals moments later.

Firstly, Banda Ramaligela’s ground cutter was cleared from the goal line in the 24th minute.

Eric Demana had his own chance a little later, but he committed a blunder by holding on to the ball for too long within the Palace danger zone, until he lost possession.

Crystal Palace were still leading 1-0 at the end of the first half.

Development Stars fought back in the 54th minute. Their equalizer was scored by Banda Ramaligela. He went loose from the left corner and beat two defenders in succession, before showing the keeper the wrong way.

Mulalo Thiba scored Palace’s second goal with a long-range volley. The home side scored the equaliser nine minutes before the final whistle. Banda Ramaligela tapped in the ball after a scramble within the box.

Can you imagine a pupil dressed in a school uniform, queuing in a bottle store for beer?”

The individual players whose performances were outstanding during the ceremony received trophies, medals and certificates during the ceremony.

They are: the top goal scorer, Silas Rammbona, Rendani Munyai (players’ player of the season), Musiwa Gededzha (supporters’ player of the season), Tshilidzi Maumela (most improved player), Sipho Mundalana (most dedicated player), Aston Masase, the goalkeeper of the season, and Mpho Ndou (player of the season).

Joel Masutha joins Dynamos The former assistant coach of Black Leopards, Mr Joel Masutha, is the new head coach of Dynamos.

His appointment took effect from last week. This was confirmed by the chairperson of the team, Mr Pat Malabela. He revealed that the decision to appoint Masutha was reached after analysing the team’s poor record last season. They ended in the thirdlast place.

The million dollar question in the Dynamos’ camp now is whether their new head coach will be able to lead the pride of Giyani back to the PSL. Malabela said they wanted to get the right person for the job rather than appoint a person for the sake of pleas-

ing the supporters and who could not deliver the goods.

The appointment came after the club parted ways with their former coaches, Darlington Dodo and Rodney Thobejane, who were dismissed, following a string of poor results.

Masutha said that he would beef up his current squad with experienced players in order for the team to be on par with the so-called big guns. In an interview with Limpopo Mirror, Masutha said that although it would not be easy, he would turn Dynamos’ fortunes around. He concluded by saying his mandate was to prevent last season’s situation of fighting to escape relegation.

Zamenkomste Liverpool beat Ramantsha FC 1-0 in the semifinal of the Get to Together soccer tournament at Tshiozwi on Sunday.

Liverpool deserved the victory as they were dictating terms in all departments.

The players who continuously gave the Ramantsha defence a tough time were Rendani Ravhura and Ronald Ramalegela.

Dakalo Radzilani, Liverpool's left back, was booked for an illegal tackle on Evans Ramantswana.

Liverpool's keeper, Mathomula

Letlalo, denied Trinity Tshiafhula several sure goals through his acrobatic goalkeeping. Letlalo was stretched to the limit to fist Aluwani Mutshinya's volley out for a corner kick in the 30th minute. No goal was seen during the first half.

The goal that got Liverpool through to the final came in the 74th minute.

Rudzani Sikhitha tried his luck from the 35m area. The Ramantsha keeper misjudged the flight of the ball and it hit the net. Mathomula Letlalo was later red-carded after a second bookable offence.

Leopards still unbeaten While Chippa United were celebrating the fact that they managed to collect their first Absa Premiership League point away from home, Black Leopards’ reason to rejoice was that they had managed to maintain their unbeaten record.

The two teams met at the Peter Mokaba Athletics Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday afternoon and the match ended in a goalless draw.

While Lidoda Duvha enjoyed the greater share of ball possession in the first 20 minutes, the visitors from Cape Town created more scoring opportunities.

Rodney Ramagalela of Leopards was unfortunate in the 69th minute. He shot straight to the keeper, following a cross from Monama. The keeper of Chippa was able to turn the ball away from the goal for a corner kick.
