“Remove the principal”

Jeanette Nkanyane, affectionately known as Jininka to hundreds of her fans, has just won a South African Traditional Music Award (Satma) for the

Best Venda Album in 2011. The album that earned her this prestigious award is her fourth offering, Ndi Mu-venda.

At the age of 29, she has achieved what many only yearn for. The Ravele community in the Sinthumule area came together under one shade to give Jininka a princess’ welcome. She and an entourage of fellow musicians had travelled from Gauteng to come to celebrate the

young woman’s achievement right in the village of her birth.

A procession of well-wishers along with surviving members of the Holy Servants Choir, for it was in this choir

A march organised by the school govern-ing body at Tshivhulana Primary School in Vuwani on Monday drew many people who demanded the removal of the school principal, whom they said his appointment was political.

The governing body also claimed that Mr Adam Ngobeni, the newly appointed prin-cipal, “was a player and referee. In the fi rst meeting when we planned for short listing, we indicated to the people that those who are applicants should recuse themselves, but he chose to attend the meeting as a representa-tive of Sadtu, since he is the Vuwani branch chairman.

We were surprised when during short listing his name was there,” said the chair-person of the governing body, Mr Rudzani Ramuthuba.

Ramuthuba led a march of many people who presented a memorandum to the acting circuit manager, Mr Nditsheni Ramugondo, who promised to send it to the relevant authorities. In the memorandum, the SGB claims that Ngobeni’s appointment was irregular.

The memorandum said Ngobeni’s appoint-ment should be nullifi ed with immediate effect and he should be sent to his former position of a teacher when the schools reopen

next year.The memorandum states that Ngobeni’s

qualifi cations are Grade 12 plus a teacher’s diploma. “The other qualifi cations he has, is being a chairman of a Sadtu branch,” said Ramuthuba.

The post was fi rst advertised in 2009 and members of the SGB complained when they saw Ngobeni’s name among the short listed. “We were surprised when he was recently appointed and we have boycotted him,” said Ramuthuba.

It is alleged that since his appointment two months ago, Ngobeni just reports to the circuit offi ce and not at the school.

Satma for Jininka “princess” of Ravele

where Jininka started her musi-cal journey, went out to wel-come her into the tent in song. The Holy Servants Choir gave her a choir’s uniform T-shirt to wear for the entire duration of the function.

“Today we are honoured to have one of our own as a Satma winner,” said a local veteran choral master, Muhali Mag-wala. “I observed little Jeanie (Jininka) when she was still with The Holy Servants Choir and I could tell she was going

somewhere in life. Her voice was pure and distinct.”

During the occasion, it was revealed that Jininka joined The Holy Servants Choir when she was only eight years of age and she was the group’s youngest member. Wherever the choir went to sing, people would always shower her with gifts or money in consideration of her beautiful voice and other choral members were always envious of that.

From page 1“We celebrate Jininka’s suc-

cess,” acknowledged Takalani Raphulu, former member of the Holy Servants Choir and a man who discovered the young Jeanette.

“Music and success had al-ways been sitting in the heart of her soul. That’s why she pursued music professionally.”

The Holy Servants Choir disbanded in 1998. For Jeanette Nkanyane, that was only the beginning of another musical quest. Armed with zeal and self-esteem, she went up to Jo-hannesburg to see if there were recording companies who could read her talent and assist her in recording. By 2002 she had met the celebrated reggae artist

Humbulani Ramagwedzha, who channelled her into the musi-cian she would become in the near future.

In 2005 her first album Love Life came out and one song in it, ‘Ni Tshi Tamba Ni Tambe Zwavhudi’, became a hit both on national radio stations and in the streets. Two more albums and three Satma nominations followed and Jininka was now a source to be reckoned with. In 2007, the year in which her mother, Vho-Emah Nkanyane, passed away, she was nomi-nated for a Satma award against the equally talented Maduvha Madivha. Unfortunately neither of them won the award, after it was won by an artist from an-other province. “I knew I would

win it one of these days,” she re-veals her strength. “That’s why I kept working and working. But today, as for my winning the Satma, I thank all those who have been associated with me musically, from the days of the Holy Servants Choir to where I am today. My late mom had supported me from early on and I believe she’s always watching over me now from where she is. I also encourage all youngsters to go to school first, before they think of music. The music industry is very delicate, you must know that.”

Jininka attended Magovhani and Maguluvhe Senior Primary Schools. For the secondary phase of her school career, she attended Sinthumule High.

Vho Thovhele Gole Mphaph-uli, senior traditional leader of the Mphaphuli Royal House and the Vhembe District Mu-nicipality have committed to working with each other for development in the land be-longing to Mphaphuli.

This came after a visit by Vhembe executive mayor, Cllr Florence Dzhombere and senior members of her political and administrative staff to the royal offices last Wednesday.

Mphaphuli has on a number of occasions been embroiled in disputes with the Thulamela

After a life-threatening ordeal on the Thohoyandou road two weeks ago, a Louis Trichardt resident, Ms Marika du Preez, is eager to make contact with the people who came to her rescue when her car caught fire on the way to Levubu.

“I have thanked the Lord over and over again for sending these people at the right time to save my life. I would really want to thank them personally for the capable and diligent assistance and the compassionate way in which they reacted to me in my desperate plight,” says Du Preez.

This week, obviously still deeply moved, Du Preez, who has severe health problems, relat-ed how her trip to Levubu came to an abrupt end when smoke suddenly started billowing from the engine. She stopped beside the very busy road, shocked and unable to move.

“A man who was driving a lorry with a cargo of vegetables and who was right behind me when the trouble started, im-mediately stopped and rushed to my window. He told me to open the window and then to open the bonnet of the car,” Du Preez said. While she was still too dazed to react, the man put his arm through the window, released the bonnet latch and started putting out the fire with a fire extinguisher.

“At the same time, he in-structed me to get out of the vehicle and to phone my people. He called on a woman in one of the other cars which had also stopped, to bring me some water, while he took tools from his car to disconnect my car’s battery. The woman offered me water

municipality and the parties have hauled each other before the courts over land issues. The mayor and the chief were locked in a meet-ing that was held behind closed doors, before they emerged with smil-ing faces and addressed many Chiefs and com-munity members, who have filled the royal hall.

Mphaphuli, who has more than 75 Chiefs un-der him and who owns most of the land in the Vhembe region, said he was happy that the visit has resolved many issues between munici-palities in Vhembe and the royal house. He said he was encouraged and

happy to see the willingness on the part of government to work with traditional leaders.

“We need development in this area and we do not want to be surprised by developments taking place in our areas without our knowledge. No reasonable leader can refuse development, but there should be no undermining of traditional leaders,” he added.

He praised Dzhombere for her leadership style, which he said was what traditional leaders wanted.

Dzhombere said when they were inaugurated they made a

pledge to work with traditional leaders.

According to her, her visit was not just to forge friendship, but came out of the need to be near each other as there are things they cannot achieve alone.

“We acknowledge that some of the things were not done cor-rectly. We need your help to do things differently and in the right way. Our offices are always open and we will appreciate it if there is a team from this house that will work directly with the municipal-ity on issues that affect this area,” said Dzhombere.

to drink. All of them acted with so much compassion, and I am really so sad that I did not even have the opportunity to find out what their names were and how I can contact them. I would like to thank them personally for their kindness. They saved my life,” said Du Preez.

After ensuring that she was safe and that help was on the way, the unknown man excused him-self because he had an urgent de-livery to make in Thohoyandou. He assured her, however, that he would be back on his return trip.

“An expert told me that this

man did exactly the right things at the right time to ensure that I did not get trapped in the burn-ing car. Were it not for his expert and timely actions, I could have been killed,” Du Preez said. After she got out of the car, she suc-ceeded in contacting family and friends, who came to her further assistance.

Du Preez expressed her pro-found appreciation and thanks to PC and Zarika Gird and also to everybody else who helped. She had special appreciation for Mr Gert Coetzee of Werda Motors for his professional assistance.

Eltivillas residents up in arms about sewage and water problems

Mr Ephraim Nemaonzeni, standing next to the stream of sewerage water that fl ows down a road in Eltivillas.

While most residents are preparing for a relaxed Christmas time, some are trying to fi gure out how they are going to survive the stench of burst sewerage pipes and a lack of water. It seems as if this is the situation in Eltivillas, where raw sewage is fl owing down some of the roads.

According to a resident of Eltivil-

las, Ephraim Nemaonzeni, they had reported the matter to the Makhado Municipality about two months ago, but nothing much had been done thus far. “The municipality even has records of when we reported this problem and who reported it. Since we reported the matter, we have never been able to contact the responsible

people, because they are not answer-ing their phones. It will be Christmas before long and how are we going to enjoy it with this smell?” he asked. Mr Nemaonzeni said there was also no water to cook or bath. “On the other hand, the municipality expects us to pay for services which we are not re-ceiving,” said the angry Nemaonzeni.

The Makhado Municipality’s spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, confi rmed that there is a shortage of water around the area. “We know about the water problems around Makhado,” said Bobodi. He ascribed last week’s water supply problem to broken water pumps. “It was only on Friday that the technical services (de-

partment) managed to fi x the two small pumps, which is half a problem solved, because we still have areas where that water does not reach. As for the sewerage, we do not have any record of that matter. Now that we know, we will attend to it as soon as possible,” responded Bobodi.

Community members are clearly not content with the situation and say that if the munici-pality cannot supply wa-ter to its communities, it should consider reduc-ing water tariffs. “If the municipality can’t supply us all with water, then we should not be paying so much money for these services, be-cause we go for weeks without a basic human need, which is water,” said Nemaonzeni.

Man drinks pesticide after quarrel with wife

Huge Christmas gift for Tshikuwi village

A 30-year-old Beit Bridge man, Philemon Vere-ra, allegedly killed himself by drinking pesticide at his in-laws’ homestead, in protest over being denied conjugal rights by his estranged wife.

He allegedly collapsed and died after he gulped a bottle of pesticide, used in the cotton fi elds.

Local police spokesperson, Insp Tineyi Matake said Verera’s body was taken to the local hospital mortuary for a post-mortem to be conducted.

It is alleged that Verera and his wife had a heated dispute at their matrimonial home in Beit Bridge last Wednesday.

Suicide cases are on the increase in the border town. Last month, a 31-year-old Beit Bridge man from Makhado village stabbed his wife and tried to kill his two-day-old baby, before committing suicide following a domestic dispute.

Cllr Mbulaheni Magada opens a tap at Tshikuwi village after the pump had just been fi xed.

It is more like a Christmas gift for the residents of Tshikuwi and the surrounding villages who have been without water for years.This comes after the Vhembe District Municipality has just fi xed the water pump that has been without water for four years.

Residents had to travel long distances to other areas to collect water. This was ended last week when the municipality eventually fi xed the pump.

Many said that had it not been for Cllr Mbulaheni Magada of Ward 36 of the Makhado Munici-pality, the pump would not have been fixed. “The man has just given us a big Christmas gift. We used to struggle a lot to get water, but now we will have a nice Christmas with water in the village,” they said.

Meanwhile, accord-ing to Cllr Magada, they are currently in the process of constructing another reservoir in the area. He gave the assur-ance that water is the fi rst thing on his priority list. “I am trying by all means that when my term comes to an end, all the people in the area must have water,” he added.

He said that other res-

idents who are still without water must be patient while the reservoir was being constructed. People used to depend on rivers, while others had to wait for a rainy day so that they could have water. Other people just depend on donkey carts to collect water in areas that are far away from them.

However, the lack of water remains a challenge to many residents in various parts of the Vhembe District, including the Sinthumule and Kutama areas.

Zim deportees shun humanitarian help

Zimbabwean deportees wait in a queue for vetting soon after their arrival at the IOM reception and support centre in Beit Bridge. The deportees were brought in by SAPS Makhado, following a round-up in the area.

A majority of Zimbabweans deported from South Africa through the Beit Bridge Bor-der Post continue to shun the humanitarian assistance offered by the International Or-ganisation for Migration (IOM), as they opt to illegally cross back into the country.

The IOM head of programmes, Ms Natalia Perez told Limpopo Mirror that out of the 6 500 deportees received at the organisation’s reception and support centre in Beit Bridge, only 2 700 accepted an offer to be assisted with transport to travel to their respective homes, while 3 800 declined the offer.

“We have also noted, particularly in farms around Limpopo, that some of the deportees are not given access to medication and therefore as IOM we have engaged partners who are assisting us,” she said. Perez said her organisation has con-tracted several local bus companies to ferry the returnees to their homes. However, most of the deportees opt to cross back using undesignated

entry points along the Limpopo River, despite the dangers of being attacked by crocodiles. Border jumpers also risk being mugged and raped by organised syn-dicates of armed robbers operating in bushy areas along the borderline.

The IOM has since 2005 been providing Zimbabweans deported from South Africa with

assistance in the form of food, medication over-night accommodation, transport to travel to their homes as well as information on safe migration procedures.

The organisation has opened two reception and support centres in Beit Bridge and Plumtree Border Post, to cater for deportees from South Africa and Botswana. The Beit Bridge reception and support centre has a capacity to handle 1 500 deportees at a given time.

Perez said most of the migrants deported through the Beit Bridge Border Post were people from Chipinge, Bulawayo, Chiredzi and Masvingo. “We normally get high numbers of migrants from Chipinge, Bulawayo, Chiredzi and Masvingo, which are our major receiving areas,” she said.

South Africa has so far deported a total of 6 500 Zimbabweans through Beit Bridge Border Post since it resumed the deportation exercise on 7 October. A majority of the deportees are males. The fi rst batch of 261 deportees was brought in from the Lindela detention centre outside Johannesburg, in four buses under the escort of SA Home Affairs offi cials. The largest number of deportees was recorded on 8 November when 589 undocumented Zimbabweans were brought back home.

The deportations marked the end of an amnesty for illegal Zimbabwean immigrants staying in South Africa that ran from 5 May 2009 to 31 July this year. More than 275 000 applications from Zimbabweans wishing to regularise their stay in the country have been processed while several others were turned down and some are pending.

Pondo Sethole recently spent a day clearing out the wild bushes outside his yard in Dilinde section of Mpheni in the Elim area. After his day’s work at around 19:00, he collected the food which his wife prepared in the house, and came to enjoy the dish outside somewhere near a shack.

Soon after, his handicapped 4-year-old son came out of the house and limped past him to go to his neighbour’s, as the two homes stood close together. Little did Sethole know that his son had picked up the candle and dumped it under the curtains in his playful acts back in the house.

“I saw dark smoke coming out of my house through the closed windows, roofi ng and the door,” he says. “I lost all appetite at once.”

With the help from his neighbours, he tried to extinguish the fi re. All household valuables and groceries which were in that room, had been de-stroyed by the fi re.

“My neighbours donated a blanket each for me, my wife and son,” he says in a broken voice. “I lost a fortune: my top brand TV, fridge, blankets, all our clothes, cell phones, wardrobes, bed, fan and ... eish ...u amba ndi u pfa nungo (it’s even useless for me to list things I lost in the fi re).”

Sethole says that he never noticed his son was alone in the house, because his wife would nor-mally go away with him whenever Sethole was doing any odd work in the home. He adds that he wouldn’t totally blame her and condemn her for what had happened. “It might only cause too much chaos in the home,” he reasons.

He approximates his loss at the total amount of R20 000. Yet Mpheni is a huge area and much of the area has been without water and electricity for several years. Sethole blames the Makhado Mu-nicipality for the lack of service delivery. “There’s

no electricity and water,” he says and picks up his wet paint brush. He has been cleaning and painting his walls. “How do they expect us to win in times of fi res? Accidents like these will always be there. We request our municipality to come and check the damage before we could complete clearing out the mess. They must compensate me for my loss.”

The Dilinde Civic was deeply moved by the plight that befell the Sethole family. “We feel sad with what happened in the Sethole fam-ily,” says secretary of the Civic, Mr Reuben Mbedzi. “In this age, candles will always be a threat for fi res in our homes. Government doesn’t care

about us. We need electricity.”Sipho Masuka, Ward 15’s coun-

cillor, confirmed that the Dilinde Civic had informed him about the Sethole case. “There were two fi re cases (including the Setholes’) which took place in a space of three days at Dilinde. I advised the chairperson of the civic, Mr Obed Maumela to write reports and submit them to me for consideration. I ask the business people and religious community to start to assist the affected families. I can be contacted at 083 494 6406,” he said. Sethole is an employee of the Emmanuel Christian School in Louis Trichardt and he has been on leave when the incident happened.

Fellow citizens of Vhembe District Municipality, we have come to an end of an eventful year, let’s all join hands in celebrating Christmas and the dawn of the New Year. Once again the time has come that I should, on behalf of the council, wish all of you a successful and happy 2012.

To achieve 2012 targets we should act responsibly and enable parents to ensure maximum discipline in their families. As government we are very concerned that too many of our people are dying unnecessarily because of ac-cident on the roads. Christmas period is a time for more cars on the road as people go home for long holidays. I appeal to all road users to respect traffi c rules. The district is ready to take measures to all road users not abiding to traffi c rules; we have just launched a festive season Arrive Alive campaign to save lives.

Alcohol abuse and drug abuse increase the rate of road accidents, re-sulting in the loss of many road users, particularly pedestrians attempting to cross main roads. We should all act responsibly; never drink and drive. We should not fool ourselves while on the road - drunken and reckless driving kills. Passengers should not be silent when drivers are reckless.

On behalf of the district let me also remind our people not to be ignorant when HIV/Aids continue to kill our people. It depends on our behaviour, attitudes and conduct to win the HIV/Aids struggle. The municipality remains committed to quality service delivery and offi ces will be opened for critical services such as water. Feel free to contact our offi ces.

Let me wish all our citizens and visitors a happy Christmas and a prosperous new year.

Arrive Alive!Vhembe District Executive Mayor, Cllr Florence Dzhombere.

Prince Masipa and Tshililo Shandukani tied the knot during a ceremony at the Rathidili Holiness Church three weeks ago.

The daughter of Cope MPL, Tshilidzi Ravhuanzwo, Poppie Mafune turned 21 the past weekend. Family members, colleagues of her mother and father and friends came in numbers to celebrate with her. The well attended function was held at Shivulana Royal Mountains on Saturday. Handing over the symbolic key are her parents Tshilidzi Ravhuanzwo and Luambo Mafune. Mafune said kneeling down is a sign of respect and he wanted to lead by example teaching her

to respect others. He also begged her not to break her parents´ hearts. Many took turns in advising Poppie on how to become successful in life.

Good harvest for small scale farmers

Local malaria programme in full swing

“Remove the teachers,” demand parents

When it all started early this year, prophets of doom doubted the motives behind the farm-ers’ competition at Dzindi Irrigation Scheme in Tshisahulu. Ten months down the line, the competition is bearing fruits and there is much interest in the competition.

Many sponsors have come on board and have pledged to take the competition to greater heights.

Last weekend, farmers in the area were richly rewarded when they were given prizes, which included seeds, fertilizers, cash and other imple-ments to assist them on their farms. The ceremony took place at the local cooperative at Matieni.

Agricultural technician Calvin Netshithuthuni, who has worked with the closely knit rural com-munity since 1994, said he had noticed a loss of interest in farming among the locals over the years.

“Our country still needs food and small-scale farmers still have a role to play in ensuring food security. We have to encourage and motivate them to work harder as most have lost interest due to a lack of resources. We have to assist them in taking their farming to another level,” he said.

He said small-scale farmers needed to look be-yond farming as a source of food for themselves, but a business that could generate them money. “We managed to at least achieve our objectives. It is only that many did not take us seriously when we started, but the interest shown is something to boast about, and shows that there is a future

The number of cases of malaria in Limpopo is currently normal for this time of the year, ac-cording to the latest statistics. Of the reported cases, most are in the Vhembe district.

The available statistics for the current quarter, from October to the present date, are Capricorn District with two cases, Mopane with 33 cases, Vhembe with 97 cases and Waterberg with two.

An increase in the number of cases is usually experienced to-wards the end of December and the beginning of January. The department is consequently still busy with an energetic preven-

tion campaign. The campaign includes an extensive spraying programme in high-risk areas and a widespread information and education programme through-out the province by means of fl yers, pamphlets and malaria-prevention information events. Malaria prevention by means of personal protection against mos-quito bites and early recognition of symptoms are highlighted in the programme. The main symp-toms are fever, severe headache, nausea and vomiting. When such symptoms are detected, the patient should be brought to the nearest health facility as soon as

possible.The spraying programme

to combat malaria mosquitos started at the end of September and is still underway. Most of the high-risk areas have been covered. Spraying continues in all designated villages and on farms. Farmers are urged to allow malaria combat teams to enter their farms or to give their farm workers some time off, so that they can unlock their living quarters for the teams to spray. In the meantime, residents who plan to travel to known malaria areas should consult a medical practitioner or pharmacist as to

in this area,” he said.He said since they

started, there had been a lot of improvement in the standard of

farming in the area. “We are only concerned that the youth are not actively participating in farming and this will make succession very dif-fi cult,” he added.

He said they decided to hand over the prizes in order to give time for farmers to prepare for the new planting season and for them to prepare for the next competition.

There were winners in each of the four blocks in the area and overall winners from all the blocks combined. Winners took home fertiliser, certifi -cates, vouchers, and other implements that will assist them in improving their farming.

Mr Jack Mabulannga, an ageing old-time farmer, who was the overall winner, urged the youth to take farming seriously, saying there would not be food without farmers. He said he was encouraging his sons to be actively involved in farming as they will have to take over from him as age has taken its toll on him.

Representing the department of agriculture in Thulamela, Ms Portia Mudau said the department was excited to see farmers who were organized like those at Dzindi. She encouraged farmers to make use of the many different programmes that the department has to assist farmers.

Mr Johan Groenewald, manager of agricultural development at NTK Limpopo Agric, one of the sponsors, added that “small-scale farmers have many challenges and we felt they needed to be helped.”

To be considered for the competition, one should be a registered plot owner at Dzindi Ir-rigation Scheme. The next competition is open to all and those wishing to enter can do so by contacting Calvin Netshithuthuni at 072 235 3106

what preventative medi-cation to take.

Parents at Jim village near Giyani took to the streets last Monday, in response to the high failure rate at the Jim Rhangani High School.

This comes after a message had leaked a few days before the results were released, that only six pupils out of 81 had passed Grade 9, while only 21 out of 126 pupils had passed Grade 11.

This infuriated the parents, who then organised a march to the school demanding answers, while several withdrew their children from the school.

In a memorandum submitted by the parents, they demanded that local teachers be removed from the school “because they

abuse pupils,” by making fun of their poor background every time they rebuke them over something they have done wrong.

It further mentioned that the the majority of the teachers at the school are from the same village and they know the backgrounds of the children very well.

One of the parents, Ms Ag-nes Chavalala, who has three children in the school that had all failed Grade 10, said that her children are “always reminded of how poor I am, and that I sell veg-etables to keep them in school.”

She added that her eldest has been repeating Grade 10 for the fourth year, while the second one repeated it three times. “You

want to te l l me that they are too dumb to understand one thing for four years ,” she said, add-ing that the teachers were not doing their work.

C h a v a l a l a said that her children were t o l d n o t t o return to the s c h o o l , b e -cause they were

too old for their

grades.“I don’t know what I am sup-

posed to do. The teachers said that I must take my children to an FET College. Where do these people think I will get the money from? We hardly make a living with the little money that I make from selling sweets and popcorn,” added Ms Violet Mathebula, one of the parents whose child had also failed.

In response, the provincial spokesperson for the Department of Education, Mr Pat Kgomo said the issue of age does not apply when a pupil has already been admitted to the school. “It is only at entry level where we can talk about age. In that case the pupil should continue attending the school, until he or she fi nishes their grades,” he said.

He urged parents whose chil-dren were turned down to speak to their local circuit manager to resolve their problem.

On the high failure rate, Kgo-mo said the department would look into complaints raised by parents and take it up with the principal, if the allegations are found to be true.

Meanwhile, the deputy chair-person of the SGB at the school, Mr Reckson Rigiyasi said parents acted on their own while organis-ing the march, without consulting the SGB.

“Be responsible”“Time to celebrate and to set new goals”The festive season is here again. This means that it is time for family and friends to come together and celebrate.

As we celebrate let us do it in a manner that affects responsibility for the sake of the ones we love and cherish the most. Let us make sure that our kids are safe by not allowing them to swim in stagnant pools or burrow pits, as they pose unforeseen dangers. Remember, one life lost is one too many. I would also like to congratulate all our scholars, especially the matriculants. To all those who made it, go and fly our flag high. For those who did not make it, we say life does not end here. Wake up and fight like a champion. I humbly urge all our people to make sure that we use our busy roads responsibly to spare our lives and those of others. Let us not drink and drive.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish all a merry Christmas and a prosperous 2012!

This time of the year gives us an opportunity to reflect, to celebrate and to set out our goals for the future.

As the Limpopo Province we are pleased to say that upon our reflection on the past year we found that we have made remarkable strides in providing housing and electricity, access to water and sanita-

tion facilities and access to quality education. We have also confronted the mammoth task of improv-ing roads around our province in our bid to ensure safer travelling.

This year has given us confidence that all our departments and municipalities will acquire clean audit reports by the year 2014, as required by the Clean Audit Campaign. We are proud that two of our departments received clean audit reports, with five others receiving unqualified audit opinions. These achievements give us cause for celebration.

As we start the festive season, let us remember to take caution on the roads by driving within the speed limits and obeying all the rules. Don’t Drink and Drive. The idea is to Arrive Alive.

As you usher 2011 away, may you embrace 2012 with renewed energy and clear aspirations.

Season’s Greetings!

Members of staff of Spar were told to be positive towards their work as they approach a hectic festive period. Mr Joe Lubisi, one of the directors at Spar, addressed staff and members of the management during the annual staff party that was held at the 2010 Centre in Thohoyandou on Sunday. Staff from Spar Thohoyandou, Sibasa and Tops Thohoyandou and Sibasa had plenty of time with management where issues affecting their business were also discussed. He reminded staff that the success of the business is in their hands. He urged them to stay positive and do their best in the festive period and the coming year. During the event, it was also announced that Mr Elias Mutheiwana (66), one of the business´s top drivers, was to retire. He served the company for four years.

Seventy children from the Lotavha Day Care Centre in Tshiozwi “graduated” to Grade R a fortnight ago. Photographed after the ceremony were, from left: Elelwani Gumi, Unarine Mulaudzi, Mulweli Nwanamidwa, Tsireledzo Maswanganyi and Lavhelani Mahlamela.

Last Saturday was a memorable day for Maano Mavunga of Hamudimeli village and his long time sweetheart, Avhantodi Raphulu of Lwamondo. They said “yes, I do” during a ceremony at the Mirunzini Hall at Lwamondo.

It is that time of the year to reap the fruits of our hard labour since the beginning of the year.

To those who did not achieve their goals, this is the time to start afresh while rectifying mistakes of the past. One of the most important ingredients of achieving our goals is effective time management. The greatest single time management tool is to set clearly defined goals. This gives focus and direc-tion to planning and facilitates the establishment of priorities. Effective self management will allow you to feel positive and achieve a state of balance and harmony in mind, body and soul.

By creating an action plan, you are providing the blueprint or map which will lead towards the culmination of your dreams. Successful people realize this and are prepared to invest in themselves by spending their time doing the most important things first and the less important last.

Know your priorities. We are all limited in the amount of time, energy and resources that we have. By being aware of your top priorities, you will be able to utilize all of your resources effectively.

Each day ask yourself: “What are the most important things I need to do today? What is their order of importance? Do I have deadlines to meet?

Am I able to readjust my schedule for unexpected crises, interruptions, telephone calls and other time consumers? Am I acting on my identified goals? What can I do to eliminate or decrease things that waste my time? Do I have realistic expectations? Have I allowed time for myself, my family and friends? Can we all enjoy the festive season with warm hearts and humanity. Even though we had some challenges this year, we must never give up holding on to the future.

Let’s all Arrive Alive. Long distance drivers should take a break. Don’t drink and drive. Let’s all be responsible. Drivers must obey and observe the rules of the road to reach their des-tinations safely.

May your Christmas be filled with happiness, joy and peace. Wish you all a Merry Christ-mas and a prosperous New Year!

Zimbabwe granny killed after dispute

A time to start afresh, to rectify mistakes

“We are ready for the festive season” - SAPS

In a gruesome incident that left the local com-munity shocked, a 60-year-old Beit Bridge villager was killed when she was struck with a huge stone by a local woman, following an undisclosed dispute.

The suspect, Thina Ndou (72) of Chikwerengwe outside Beit Bridge appeared before local magis-trate, Mr Carrington Karidzagundi, facing a murder charge. Ndou was not asked to plead to the charge and the case was postponed to 29 December. No bail was granted.

In denying her bail, the court noted that due to

the gravity of the offence committed, there was not guarantee that if given bail, Ndou would not abscond to South Africa.

The prosecutor, Mr Reason Mutimba said on 12 December Ndou had a dispute with the victim. On the following day at around 23:00, she allegedly went to the victim’s home where she found her sleeping in her bedroom hut.

The door of the hut was open. The court was told that Ndou picked up a stone, which had been placed near the door and struck the woman on the head. She died instantly.

The Station Commander of the Makhado police station, Col Francois Ramovha.

The Station Commander of the Makhado Police Station, Col Francois Ramovha, says members of his police team are ready for the festive season.

In an interview he said that the police will always be on the lookout for any criminal activities that may occur in the area. Ramovha warned members of the community not to leave their property unattended. “People must not park their vehicles in isolated places. You must take care of yourselves as well as your property,” he said.

He added that those who will be found drinking and driving would be arrested. “Pedestrians must wear light coloured clothes and not walk in the streets under the influence of alcohol or during the night,” said Ramovha. He also said that spaza shops must close early.

According to Ramovha, the police will show no mercy for shebeens or liquor outlets that sell liquor without liquor licences. He also mentioned that people must take good care of their bank cards to avoid fraud. “It is advisable to take care of your stock and if possible stay indoors. Avoid night trips and late hiking,” warned Ramovha.

Ramovha wished the community a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. “May you feel the warmth of and presence of our Lord throughout the festive season. Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year,” he said.

According to him people must always remember the Makhado SAPS’ contact number, which is 083 206 5596.

New soccer gear for two rural teams

Tournament to honour community builder

Khakhati Tshisikule honours his teachers

Two struggling rural teams, who were on the brink of col-lapse, were resuscitated when a generous local medical doctor bought them two expensive soccer kits.

Gunda Murota United and Tshaulu Powerlines, who were campaigning in the Thulame-la Local Football Association (TLFA), had been struggling this season and Gunda were forced to vacate their status at the TLFA, because of fi nancial diffi culties.

Offi cials from both teams, Mr Rofhiwa Nephawe of Gunda and Phillip Dzialwa of Powerlines were over the moon when they received the new kits from Dr Milingoni Eric Makhwanya. The hand over took place at Dr Makhwanya’s Surgery in Tho-hoyandou last Tuesday.

Makhwanya said he was ap-proached by Rofhiwa Nephawe

of Gunda FC, who told him of the hardship they were experiencing in running the team. “He had brought his child for treatment when, during consultations, we started discussing issues of com-mon interest, of which soccer was one of the topics. He told me that his club was forced to vacate its higher status, because they could not afford even travelling to far away matches,” said Makh-wanya. Makhwanya confessed that he is mad about soccer. He added that he was very touched when hearing about the plight of the team and advised the man to make a formal application for as-sistance to him. He said while he was still thinking about the team, another application arrived from a neighbouring village team, Tshaulu Powerlines, which was also in a fi nancial dilemma.

“This was in the beginning of

the year, and I had to give myself time to assess their need and to verify their plight,” he said. He added that he visited the teams and what he saw touched him more than what he had heard. “This was extreme poverty, players playing in torn shorts and jerseys and some even play-ing barefooted during matches. I decided to intervene and change their situation, and this is my contribution to these communi-ties,” he said.

He said he was also motivated after hearing that there was a lot of crime, alcohol and drug abuse and premarital sex in the area as there are no forms of entertainment in the area. “I just hope the kits that I have donated will motivate others and they will soon be fl ocking to watch their favourite teams at the local grounds,” he added.

Dr Eric Makhwanya (second from left) hands over the kit to Gunda United´s Rofhiwa Nephawe (left) while Azwitamisi Mutwanamba (Gunda secretary) and Phillip Dzialwa of Tshaulu Powerlines also join in the joy.

The good deeds of a selfl ess and humble man, who dedicated most of his life to a quest to improve his community, will be remembered

during a soccer tour-nament to be held in his honour.

Community builder, Dr Avhatakali “Slen-d e r ” M u t s h i n y a n i passed away in 2003, but most of the projects he initiated are still there for the community. In a bid to revive and re-member his name, the community of Duthuni and Phiphidi have come together and organised a one-day soccer tourna-ment to honour him.

The Doctor Avha ta-

kali Slender Mutshinyani Soccer Challenge will see Duthuni United Brothers play against the winners of the Nungo Dza Vhahali /Ngulumbi Festive Tournament. The Nungo Dza Vhahali is an annual tournament which is played in Phiphidi and Ngulumbi.

The honorary soccer challenge is to be played on New Year’s Day at Duthuni United Brothers’ ground, popularly known as Mandalali ground. Mutshinyani played for and supported the club fi nancially.

Mr Peter Tshikhudo, one of the organisers, said Mutshinyani has done a lot for the community and more specially the development of sport in the area.

“It is almost ten years after the death of Mut-shinyani and all seem to have forgotten him. We felt that we are indebted to him and we should do something just to remember and to honour him. He loved soccer so much that we hope that stag-ing a soccer tournament will make his soul rest in peace,” he said.

The late “Slender” Mutshinyani.

Local reggae artist, Khakhathi Tshisikule.

One of the best-known local reggae artists, Khakhathi Tshisikule, has honoured teachers in his latest album, Vhadededzi (Teachers).

Tshisikule of Khakhathi & Friends fame, says this album forms part of his ten year anniversary celebration of his musical career. It was released last Friday

Tshisikule says he decided to honour his teach-ers, “because they are the most underrated profes-sionals and they are playing a very crucial role in developing the country through the foundation they lay.”

He says every professional comes through the hands of educators. “Unfortunately the commit-ted educators are not being recognised for their outstanding work,” he ads.

In this ten-tracked album, Tshisikule is also warning people about the danger of abusing alco-hol. He says he decided to include this track in order to help and discourage many people who usually abuse alcohol during the festive period.

Pfene Lo Vhofha Thai (Baboon is wearing a tie), is another hot track that is lamenting about the lack of service delivery in the country and corruption. In this track, Tshisikule says former President Nelson Mandela, the late Chris Hani and others are ashamed by “the way this government is run.”

Tshisikule also pays tribute to his fans for the support they gave him through-out his musical career.

As part of the 10th anniversary celebration, Tshisikule has staged several soccer tournaments that involved almost all musical artists in Vhembe playing against local teams at Makwarela Stadium.

On 31 December, Thirembe Valley Killers, Makwarela United, Mbaleni, and Miluwani Happy Boys will battle it out for the Champ of Champ title. The four teams qualifi ed for this championship after winning the previous games which were part of the anniversary of his musical career.

Tshisikule said the winning team will receive R2 000. After the tournament, there will be a huge musical bash that is going to involve Khakhathi Tshisikule and some local artists.

The three men arrested on suspi-cion of stealing copper cables in the Waterpoort farming area, are still in custody.

Shalton Ndou (18), Clever Siphu-ma (30) and Justice Moyo (28) briefl y appeared in the Waterpoort Periodical Court last Wednesday. They had been arrested about two months ago at the farm Vlakteplaats, while allegedly in possession of stolen copper cables.

According to the charge sheet, they

are accused of being responsible for cable theft in the area for a number of years.

Their arrest followed after con-cerned farmers collaborated with the police in the fi ght against cable theft. When they were eventually ap-prehended, copper cables to the value of more than R22 000 were found in their possession.

The case was postponed to 25 January, 2012.

R5 000 fi ne for assaulting refereeHeavy fines were imposed on several clubs affi liated to the Safa Vhembe SAB League, during the association’s disciplinary commit-tee meeting, held in the league’s offi ces last Friday evening.

Tshifhire Northern Brothers, who were found guilty of assaulting a ref-eree, Mr Rooi Mulaudzi, during their Total Cup quarter fi nal match against Ngwenani Young Chiefs, were or-dered to pay a fi ne of R5 000. Half of the amount has been suspended for the whole season, while R2 500 is payable within 30 days.

Mphego Real Rovers were fi ned R3 000 for causing the abandonment of their game against United Artist, half of which was suspended for the whole season.

Muthelo was fi ned R5 000 for fi eld-ing an improperly registered player in their game against Joe Express, as well as the submission of false information when registering players and bringing the league into disrepute.

Not only were Mukula Young San-tos fi ned for fi elding an improperly registered player in their game against Mianzwi Green Hornet, but they also forfeited the points for the match in question to Green Hornet. A fi ne of R4 000 was imposed on them.

Dynamos shock Powerline 5 - 1

Livhuwani Rambau (left) and Matodzi Maruli fi ght for the ball.

Tshiozwi Dynamos gave Zoutpans-berg Powerline a day to remember, when they hammered them 5-1 in a Safa SAB league match at the Tshiozwi grounds on Sunday.

The visitors looked weary from the onset and never made any threatening moves. Their front runner, Rudzani Nebulu was cautioned for obstruct-ing Mashudu Mafunisa in the tenth minute.

Dynamos found the net in the 14th minute. Aluwani “Killer “ Nedzamba beat the offside trap and ran a few steps forward before unleashing a powerful shot into the back of the net. A few minutes later, Matodzi Maruli of the home team was booked for the intentional handling of the ball.

The Madabani team went 2-0 up before half time. Mpho Mavhandu

received a square pass from Alugumi Mamugudubi and blasted in a ground cutter from close range.

Khanyane Maivha of Powerline re-duced the margin in the 47th minute.

Dynamos increased the score when Patson Mahanelo forced his way through the defence and beat keeper Nelwamondo in the 64th minute.

Musa Makhubele of Powerline was caution with a card. His infringement was the intentional handling of the ball and the referee awarded a free kick. Dynamos’ keeper, Thendo Shivhishi, had to stretch to the limit to save Thomas Machaba’s volley.

The last two goals of Dynamos were scored in the last ten minutes of the game through Mpho Mavhandu and Aluwani Nedzamba.

The South African Football Association (Safa) in conjunction with FIFA, will conduct the fi rst ever elite goalkeeper coaching course in South Africa.

It will be held in Potchefstroom at a facility used by Spain during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The course is aimed at goalkeeper coaches in the national teams, the PSL and the NFD.

"The objective of this course is to further equip goalkeeper coaches ... as

there is going to be the introduction of licensing for all the coaches. So, we want even the goalkeeper coaches to be fully equipped. This is a specialised area that we never give enough attention to. We have requested FIFA to assist us with person-nel to conduct the course and they will be sending a top instructor," said Safa's technical director, Mr Serame Letsoaka.

The course content will include tactical training, physical conditioning, technical

training and youth goalkeeper training.Coaches with a Safa Level 1 coaching

certifi cate or equivalent may attend. Each person must pay R1 500 and will have to use own transport to get to the venue. The closing date for the applicants is 20 January 2012. As there are only place for 25 participants, it will be on a fi rst come, fi rst served basis. For more information, contact Nomathemba Zitha at 0728202184 or nomathemba.zitha@safa.net.

SAFA to conduct courses for goalkeeper coaches

Mbahe through to the next round of Autopage KO

More accolades for the players of Young Chiefs

Funzani Nefhera of Mbahe (right) and Thabelo Mudau of Avalon fi ght for the ball.

Mbahe FC booked a place in the next stage of the Altech Autopage KO Competition by beat-ing Mukula Avalon 1-0 at the FNB Makwarela Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The game was played under protest. Avalon lodged a protest with the referee before the fi rst whistle. In the protest Avalon alleged that three players of Mbahe were not properly registered with the team.

The keeper of Mbahe, Pascal Mpondi, was a star to watch in the game. He denied Avalon several obvious goals. In the fi rst instance he executed a brilliant save after Walter Nelushi unleashed from the edge of the box. At that stage the game was eleven minutes old. As if that was not good enough to impress the fans, Mpondi did it again when palming Shonani Munyai’s volley away for a corner kick soon afterwards.

The goal which separated the boys from the men came in the 67th minute. Takalani Ramagwa blasted in a rocket after a scramble within the box. Realizing that victory was almost certain, Mbahe started to use delaying tactics. Their defender, Hosiah Ranwedzi, was reprimanded with a card for wasting time.

Avalon pushed hard in the last 15 minutes in their desperate search for the equaliser, but they could not fi nd their way through the defence of Mbahe.

The coach of Young Chiefs, Mr Mukosi Themeli (second from left) poses for a photo with his team’s individual awards winners, Maanda Tshifura (left, goalkeeper), Evans Netshitungulu (second from right, top goalscorer) and Norman Mulovhedzi (right, player of the tournament).

Apart from the prizes they received for winning the Total Challenge champion-ship, Ngwenani Young Chiefs had more rea-sons to celebrate last Saturday. Three of their players received individual awards dur-ing the prize-giving ceremony which was held at Tshifulanani Stadium shortly after the fi nal game.

Ngwenani Young Chiefs were crowned the champions after beating Mianzwi Green Hornet 2-1 in the fi nal. They received a fl oating trophy, gold medals, soccer kit and a cheque to the value of R30 000 during the ceremony.

Their goalkeeper, Maanda Tshifura, was nominated the best keeper of the tourna-ment and received R800. Chiefs’ midfi eld-er-cum striker, Norman Mulovhedzi, took home the player of the tourna-ment award and also received R800. Evans Netshitungulu of Young Chiefs shared the top goal scorer award with Terrence Maluleke of Matsakali Sky Rangers and Lutendo Matidza of Mianzwi Green Hornet.

They scored three goals each.

The runners-up, Mi-anzwi Green Hornet, received R15 000, a

soccer kit, silver medals and a fl oating trophy. The third placed, Matsakali Sky

Rangers, took home R10 000, soccer kit and bronze medals.

Dominating 4-0 victory for Basel FC

Young Chiefs are the Total Champs

FC Basel were by far too strong for Nobela All Stars when they brutally beat them 4-0 in their Vodacom Promotional League match at Malamulele Stadium last Friday afternoon.

Basel kept the opponents run-ning from the first whistle. Their efforts did not pass without a re-ward as they scored their opening

Ngwenani Young Chiefs came back from a 0-1 half time deficit and beat Mianzwi Green Hor-net 2-1 in the final of the Total Challenge KO Competition at Tshifulanani Stadium on Saturday.

Green Hornet showed no re-spect to Young Chiefs. They forced their defence to perform overtime from the onset. Evans Netshitungulu of Young Chiefs was the first player to go into the referee’s book. He left the pitch without the referee’s consent and the referee, Ms Lufuno Nema-govhani, showed him yellow upon his return. Venter Mamang-wa of Green Hornet was lucky to escape with a yellow card in the 14th minute. He tackled Them-

buluwo Mbave from behind. Green Hornet scored their only goal in the 28th minute. Their overlapping midfielder, Meshack Ramafamba, headed home fol-lowing a corner kick which was taken by Mpho Daba.

Both sides effected three changes early in the last half. The replacements worked against Green Hornet as they spent the better part of the last stanza run-ning for cover. Things turned against them when Young Chiefs were awarded a penalty in the 67th minute. This after the keeper of Green Hornet, Khuthadzo Netshiya, tackled Collen Netshi-tungulu from behind within the penalty box. Lutendo Themeli made it 1-1 from the spot.

The captain of Green Hor-net, Khaukanani Muswede, was booked for an illegal tackle on Lucky Mugivhela.

As if they were leading, Green Hornet continued to play defen-sive football. They were severely punished for that. Evans Net-shitungulu scored with a header after a corner kick by Aluwani Masala in the 84th minute.

Chiefs were presented with a cheque of R30 000 during a ceremony which was held at the stadium after the game.

Terrence Maluleke was a mar-vel to watch when his side, Mat-sakali Sky Rangers, beat Joe’s Express 3-1 in the losers’ final. He scored all three his team’s goals.

goal in the 9th minute. A defender of All Stars, Jose Mteteleli, handled the ball within the box and the referee, Martin Sivhada, was quick to point at the white spot. Jafta Mabosho scored from the penalty spot to give his side a 1-0 lead.

Livhuwani Netshien-deulu of Basel was rep-rimanded with a card for a late tackle to Vusimuzi Phiri in the 29th min-ute. Basel increased the margin nine minutes before break. Their ex-perienced striker, Jafta Mabosho, caught the keeper of Nobela, Te-bogo Tshabalala, nap-ping and beat him with a half volley.

Both sides used all their substitution chanc-es in the last half. All Stars replaced Lucky Shoba, Rine Phaswana and Vongani Shirinda with Dakalo Ratshitan-ga, Madumetsa Maleka and Harry Chabalala

respectively. Basel increased the margin seven minutes into the last half. Livhuwanai Netshien-deulu headed home following a square pass from Takalani Ra-magalela. Aluwani Machaba of All Stars was booked for a late tackle on Jafta Mabosho.

The home side responded by introducing Lewis Chauke

and Khunbudzo Muvhango for Takalani Ramagalela and Livhu-wani Netshiendeulu in the 70th minute. The keeper of All Stars, Tebogo Tshabalala, became the laughing stock when he failed to clear a back pass and allowing Lewis Chauke to hook the ball in and seal the game in the dying minutes.

Jafta Mabosho of Basel controls the ball, while Xitsudzuxo Hungwani of Stars is on his heels.

A brace from Sibusiso Vilakazi saw BidVest Wits move up to the eighth spot on the Absa Premiership log, after the students beat Black Leopards 2-1 in a league match at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday afternoon.

It was the worst possible start for the struggling Leopards side, as some slack marking in defence allowed Wits to take the lead as early as the third minute. Sifi so Myeni was given way too much space in the middle of the park and he was afforded the time to pick out an unmarked Sibusiso Vilakazi with a through ball straight down the middle of the park. Under no pressure, the Students’ attacker easily rounded the keeper and played the ball into an empty net to give his side the lead.

Thereafter, however, it was Leopards who looked the more threatening of the two sides as they pressed forward in search of an equaliser. Despite controlling the game, it was evident their coach Vladislav Heric was growing visibly frustrated on the sideline as the team squandered their possession with some poor passing.

Heric would have been happy with their 21st minute leveller. For a change, Nkosiyabo Xakane supplied a perfect cross from the left fl ank to pick out an unmarked Thabo Mongalo. He made no mistake with a clinical ten-yard header, giving the keeper no chance.

In the 32nd minute Leopards nearly took the lead, when Mongalo snuck in front of the Wits defence at a corner-kick to make a near post header, but he saw his eight-yard effort strike the woodwork and bounce away from danger. The excitement of almost taking the lead was quickly diminished for Leopards when they conceded their second goal four minutes later.

Patrick Phungwayo drove into the danger area, beating three defenders, before losing control of the ball. Luckily for the Wits man the loose ball fell to

the unmarked Sibusiso Vilakazi only six-yards out and he made no mistake, calmly stroking the ball home for his second of the day. Vilakazi nearly grabbed his third seconds before the half time break, but he saw his pow-erfully struck 18-yard shot superbly saved by Postnett Omony, diving full stretch to his left to make a fi ngertip save to deny the striker his goal.

The second half was not nearly as

exciting as the fi rst, as both teams seemed little uninspired after the break. Wits, though, seemed content to sit back in defence and soak up the pressure and it appeared a safe option, because Leopards were extremely poor in the fi nal third of the fi eld.

In the end, it was a half with no clear cut chances on goal and the match fi nished 2-1 in favour of the students. - Backpagemedia
