New R44m Sibasa taxi rank
A ticking time bomb?
The recently opened Sibasa bus and taxi rank, which became the
talk of the town during its official opening, could soon become a
white elephant.
The R44 million development by the Thulamela Municipality was
opened less than a month ago by Thulamela Mayor Cllr Grace Mahosi.
She hailed the facility as the best and that it
would change the lives of the residents for the better. It has,
however, already shown signs of poor workmanship.
Mahosi emphasised that qual-ity was not compromised during the
construction phase and that was the reason they had had to
terminate the contract of the previous contractor as she was doing
shoddy work.
Unfortunately, the paving at the new rank is already sinking
and there are fears that the rank will cave in. People now fear
using the facility, calling for the municipality to provide a space
for buses while the taxi rank is fi xed.
Signs that something was amiss showed up on Monday af-ter heavy
rains fell in the Vhembe district. Bus drivers, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, said that they are afraid that their buses
would be swallowed by
the ground. We are not taking any risks.
That is the reason we are not parking at the loading and
park-ing bays. This area is not safe and we just hope that our
municipal-ities will act swiftly and resolve the problem before
lives are lost or people are injured, one of the drivers said.
An executive member of the Vhembe Bus Association, Mr
Christopher Nevhutalu, urged the
government to put its things right before handing facilities to
resi-dents. We are very concerned about the safety of our
passengers and we urge the government to prepare a parking space
for us while they fi x the problem at the rank. The rank is a time
bomb that is waiting for an opportune time to explode and lives
could be lost if nothing is done, he said.
Mr Ndwamato Tshiila, Thu-
lamela Municipalitys spokes-person, confirmed that they know
about the damage caused as a result of the heavy rains that fell in
Vhembe over the weekend. He urged the public not press panic
buttons. We have the retention fund that is left when we pay the
contractor. The money will be used for any damage that might be
found. We will take care of this in no time, he promised.

Acting chief and son charged with stock theftThe acting chief of
Ngudza vil-lage near Bennde-Mutale and Ha-Nkotswi, along the
Phafuri gate, and his son have been released on bail after being
charged with stock theft.
Acting Chief Erick Takalani (58) and his son, Shandukani
Takalani (27), appearred in the Musina Magistrates Court on Tuesday
(15/3) and their case was postponed to 19 April for further
investigation. They were relased on bail of R2 000 each, said W/O
Meshack Mabobo, an
investigation officer attached to stock theft in the Musina
area.
Mabobo said that they had acted on a tip from one of the family
members of the accused. On 28 February, we first arrest-ed the son,
who was the shepherd for several stock farmers around
Bennde-Mutale. We later arrest-ed his father. The value of the 24
cattle and 15 goats is estimated at more than R200 000, he
said.
One of the stock farmers whose cattle and goats were found
stolen, the former munici-
pal manager of Thulamela Local Municipality in Thohoyandou, Adv
Makonde Mathivha, said he was shocked when he discovered who the
suspects were. We are making a clarion call to stock farmers in the
Bennde-Mutale area to stand against stock theft as agriculture and
farming is the backbone of the provincial economy. We are trying to
create jobs for poor, jobless communi-ty members, but in the end we
remain the victims of circum-stances.

White family baptised in UAAC church
Armed robbery investigation continues
Thovhele Philimon Nesengani passes awayIt was a historic Sunday
at Nzhelele two weeks ago at the headquarters of the United African
Apostolic Church. Among the 11 people baptized by Archbishop Elias
Miriri that day in the Nzhelele river at Ha-Mavhungu were two local
white residents.
Ms Angie Roos and her son Adrian, who stay just outside Musina,
were among the church members who volunteered for the baptising
ceremony.
They explained that strange things had recently started to
happen at their game farm. We found a pot full of strange living
organisms that change shape ba-sically when we look at them, they
said. According to them it seemed as if the pot had brought a curse
upon the farm. The game
to normal, she said. Archbishop Mureri said that he would like
to see the Roos family enjoy life like any other SA citizens.
The Roos family are now members of the UAAC and they will get
their uniforms soon. They will dance with the others when we play
our African drum during the church services, said Mureri. The
nearest branch of the UAAC is in Musina, so the Roos family can
attend church services there and wont need to travel to Nzhelele
every Sunday. There is no black and white, all people are the
children of God, said Mureri.
The secretary general of the UAAC, Emmanuel Ramudzuli, said the
Roos family was not the first from the white community to join the
African Church. He
said there was another white farmer who was farming on the side
of Ratombo near Levubu who had joined the UAAC some two years
ago.
The UAAC is one of the biggest churches in the South Africa and
has branches in many African countries, such as Zim-babwe, Zambia
and Botswana.
Chief Livhuwani Nkhiphi-theni Matsila, the director of the
Matsila Community Devel-opment Trust, promised Angie Roos that he
would consider working with her husband on the issue of
farming.
We are organizing and we will see how best the Matsila Community
Development Trust can work with the Roos family in agriculture and
job creation, he said.
and cattle started to die and people started avoiding them.
We had a lot of customers who used to come for hunting, but
since the pot was found customers stopped coming. We endured it for
a long time, until we decided to find divine interven-tion, said
Angie.
The United Af-r i c a n A p o s t o l i c Churchs archbishop
Elias Mureri came to our rescue and cast the evil spirit out, she
said. She and her son then decided to have themselves bap-tised.
Angie added that shortly after that her husband had been of-fered a
job in Nigeria. With divine interven-tion, things will return

The Mphephu police are inves-tigating the incident where a
52-year-old man from Tshiku-wi was allegedly robbed in the Nzhelele
valley.
The incident happened around 03:15 on 1 March at FNB. Ac-cording
to a police report, it is believed that the victim was a
loan shark. He was in possession of more than 20 bank cards.
The report further stated that the armed perpetrators waited for
the victim to withdraw money. They then took five cell phones and
approximately R16 000 in cash.
The police report indicates
that the value of the things taken by the armed robbers is about
R21 000.
The police have appealed to members of the public with con-crete
information to forward it to them. People can also phone W/O
Sidavhi at the Mphephu police station on 015 970 3027.
Thovhele Vho-Philimon Nesen-gani (61), a senior traditional
leader of Nesengani, died on Saturday at Elim Hospital after a long
period of illness.
Vho-Toni Mphephu Ram-abulana, king of the Vhavenda, described
Nesenganis death as a huge shock. He still had a lot to do, both
for the community and royal family, he said, adding that it would
be very difficult to replace him. Mphephu said that the late
Nesengani had worked
very closely with him and the many chiefs under him. He was such
an experienced traditional leader and we expected him to assist in
training the new chiefs, he added
According to Ramabulana, Nesengani was a great leader. He was
always willing and ready to learn, which made him judge cases in a
fair manner. At the time of his death, we were finalizing a deal
with one of the cell phone companies with a view
to having a tower here that would help improve the reception, he
said.
The MEC for Coghsta, Mako-ma Makhurupetje, expressed her
condolences to the Nesengani family. She said Nesengani had served
the country with dili-gence. He will be remembered for his hard
work, said Makhu-rupetje.
Makhado Mayor Cllr David Mutavhatsindi expressed his heartfelt
condolences and support to the Nesengani Royal Family. He said that
Nesengani had contributed to shaping the local government system.
He was a selfless, visionary and dedicated leader of all people, he
said. He also mentioned that Nesengani was a leader who understood
that, as a traditional leader, one must transcend all boundaries
and represent the hopes, interests and aspirations of all people to
realize a better life.
Family member Mr Nelson Davhula said they would remem-ber the
late chief as a hardwork-ing person who unified the family and had
a vision to develop his people. Through him, a lot of development
has taken place here, he said.
Nesengani was buried at Tshiendeulu, but a formal funer-al
service will be held on Satur-day at the Tshino Kolokoshani
grounds, starting at 09:00.The late Thovhele Philimon
Nesengani.

Robbers and arsonists target businessmanBusinessman Mohamed
Hussein of Thohoyandou, the owner of a shop at Lwamondo Ha-Mugomeli
outside Thohoyandou, has suffered misfortune for a second time.
Within the space of a month, the businessman was targeted twice by
thieves who broke into his shop and stole thousands of rands worth
of stock.
Last weekend, thieves made a ma-jor comeback when they broke
into his shop once more and made off with stock worth more than
R200 000, be-fore setting the shop on fi re. The few
remaining contents and the building were completely destroyed;
the whole building will have to be rebuilt.
Hussein (33) said he was asleep at around 1:15 on Friday when he
received a call from a neighbour, notifying him of an unusual noise
at the shop. He said that he immediately phoned his security
company, who later informed him that the shop was on fi re. He
rushed there but found that the police and fi refi ghters were
already there. They could not save the shop, however, as it was
completely gutted.
"What makes me sad is that I am delivering a good service to
this community. They appreciate my services and I wonder why
thieves would want to target me. The mem-bers of the whole
community are on my side and they are also helping us clear the
debris. We are not running away and will continue our business
here, he said.
On behalf of the family, Mr Mmboneni Sivhaga said that the
incident was a big blow to the family because of the wholesale
destruction. We do not know where to start, but
we have already approached a builder and it will cost us a
fortune to rebuild the shop."
Vuwani police spokesperson W /O Elijah Malatjie said that they
had opened an arson and housebreaking business docket.
He added that the cause of the fi re was still unkown, but that
forensic experts had taken samples that would determine the cause
and origin of the fi re. "At this stage no one has been arrested in
connection with the incident and our investigations are ongoing,"
he said.

On 8 March, Ravi Vansia visited Eric Louw High School in Musina
where he matriculated in 2014. At present, the 20-year-old is a
student pilot at the Loutzavia Flight Academy in Pretoria. Ravi has
high regard for his former school, saying: It is a school with pure
talent and a hardworking bunch of individuals." He said he always
wanted to become a pilot and thanked Eric Louw for giving him the
platform to build his career. He visited the school to thank every
teacher who helped him realise his dream. He also celebrated his
birthday with Ms Alta Coetzee (deputy principal) and spoiled her
with gifts. Photo supplied.

Close family members unveil the tombstone of the late granny
Matodzi Mudau Tshiruruvhela during the funeral.
Emulate the good life of granny MudauMourners attending the
funeral of granny Vho Matodzi Mudau Tshiruruvhela at the weekend
were told to change their lifestyles if they wanted to live longer
lives like the granny.
The much-loved granny of Hamangilasi-Tshivhaz-waulu passed away
on 1 March at the ripe old age of 103 years. She was laid to rest
during a well-attended and celebratory funeral service held at the
granny's home and the Tshivhazwulu cemetery.
The funeral took the form of a celebration of a life well lived.
Zionist drums by church members who came to give the granny a
dignified send-off reverberated through the early morning drizzle.
Even the rainy weather could not stop the hundreds of family,
relatives and others from giving the granny the send-off she
deserved.
Conducting the sermon during the funeral, Senior Councillor
Elias Rambau of the United African Ap-ostolic Church told mourners
to emulate the good life led by Granny Tshiruruvhela. "Life
nowadays is very short and people should ask themselves why people
are no longer living longer lives. These days we are burying young
people who are supposed to be the ones to bury the elderly, and
this is a source of much concern. Let us follow in the footsteps of
the granny and we will live our lives to the fullest," he said.
Her youngest daughter, Ms Tendani Mamavhi (59), is full of
praises for her late mother and said that she believed that her
mother had lived long because of her love for people and that she
was also loved by all.
Granny Tshiruruvhela was born at Muledane-Bur-asini in 1913,
where she grew up and worked on
the farm. She was the eldest child of Tshinanne Nyamuofhe and
Vhothumbuni ya Kholomo Ad-ziliwi and was the fifth wife of Vho Piet
Mudau. She is survived by her sister, Ms Tshavhungwe Ramawa, five
children who are all pensioners, 48 grandchildren, 68
great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren.

Long terms in jail for six poachers who conspired to sell rhinos
hornSix men who conspired to kill a rhino and sell its horns have
been sentenced to 10 and 15 years imprisonment in the Louis
Trichardt Regional Court.
Job Basi Tlou (64), Percy Manengena (39), Johannes Podile
Sematla (48), Lebala Semetla (27), Masolo Soul Sematla (28) and
Albino Fer-nando Masuze (47) were all arrested during 2014 through
the efforts of the SANParks Environmental Investigators.
The arrest came to pass when an environmental inspector received
two cell phone photographs from a secret informant, showing two
rhino horns
for sale. A sting oper-ation was set up with the help of the
SAPS, which led to the arrest of Job Tlou. He lat-er turned state
witness and confessed who his co-conspirators were.
They stood trial on single counts of hunting of a specially
protected wild animal, picking up or removing dead wild animals,
theft, posses-sion of a fi rearm with the intent to hunt,
con-spiracy to hunt and deal in rhino horn and three counts of
restricted ac-tivity involving a listed, threatened or protected
species without a per-mit.
Tlou confessed that Johannes Sematla had shot and killed the
rhino, and that he, with the help of Manengena and Lebala, later
returned to hack the horns from the carcass. Tlou also said that
Masolo drove them to the scene, but waited in the car while they
re-trieved the rhino horns.
During the mens tri-al, it was revealed that the rhino bull they
had killed had originated from the Mapungubwe National Park and was
known as The Wander-

they were found guilty of conspiring to hunt and kill a rhino were

The remaining conspirators who killed a rhino belonging to the
Mapungubwe National Park and sold its horns for profi t were, from
left to right, Johannes Podile Sematla (48), Lebala Semetla (27),
Masolo Soul Sematla (28) and Albino Fernando Masuze (47).
Davies Mulaudzi, champion hurdler of Eric Louw High in Musina,
performed excellently during Athletics South Africas Limpopo
Championships at Polokwane on Saturday. In the 110 m hurdles, he
ran his personal best of 14,16 seconds, only 0.04 slower than the
best time last year. In the coming holidays, he will participate in
the South African Schools Championships and Athletics South Africas
national championships. Photo supplied.
er. His horns were, unfortunately, sold by Masuze to a Chinese
citizen in Mozambique, where the local police have no legal
authority.
After their arrest, when they had already made certain
statements, all six men pleaded not guilty with the commencement of
their trial. Only towards the end did Manengena, Lebala and Masolo
change their plea to guilty.
Magistrate Mike Coetzee said, when passing down his sentence on
Friday, that he found all the men to be ineffective and poor
witnesses. He added that the State had gone beyond the call of duty
to prove its case and presented excellent and trustworthy witnesses
in the form of the various SANParks investigators and cell phone
evidence that proved, beyond a doubt, how all six men had conspired
together.
In considering a sentence, Coetzee cited case law that specifi
es that conspirators are just as guilty to the crime as is the
actual thief or murderer. All six men were found guilty as charged.
Manengena, Johannes, Lebala, Masolo and Tlou were sentenced to 15
years imprisonment, while Masuze was sentenced to 10 years
imprisonment.

The road - a simple path, and yet its come to mean so much
more.
Perhaps the real reason roads are special, is that each one
leads to someplace we are not, but could be.
At Chevrolet, they believe that roads are peoples springboards.
They challenge them, taunt them and guide them to create better,
more exciting, more ingenious ways to move through life. They drive
them to places people have never been before.
One new road the Chevrolet team has pursued has led them to the
new range of 2016 Chevrolet utility vehicles. The whole range, soon
to arrive here in Louis Trichardt, will now have a passenger airbag
deactivation switch on all models (a segment fi rst) that enables
the front passenger seat to be used with a rear-fac-ing baby seat,
or with a small child seated comfortably and safely.
The sports models will also bring another segment fi rst -
standard cruise control. Chevro-let guarantees buyers a fi
rst-class design experi-ence and comfort the minute they climb into
the drivers seat of the new Chev utility range.
The 1.4-litre UTE provides excellent fuel economy (7.2L per
100Km) and unmatched power (68KW @ 120 Nm), making sure the job
gets done for less. Driver and passenger airbags are standard on
all models.

Easter Weekend road safety starts with YOU
New Chev range sure to impress
Road Safety
The Easter holidays are just around the corner - a time for
everyone to take a break from work and school.
During this time, people celebrate at different holiday
destinations in and around South Africa. It is for this reason that
we not only see increased road usage over this time, but our roads
are known to see an increase in car crashes some even fatal. In
fact, last Easters preliminary results indicated that a total of
287 people lost their lives on the roads during this time as a
result of the 208 crashes that happened - which was much higher
than the
previous year, states Imperial Road Safety in a media statement
as part of the annual Arrive Alive campaign.
It is for this reason that Imperial Road Safety will once again
focus their efforts on educating road users about road safety, to
leave awareness of safe road usage and responsible driving
uppermost in the minds of consumers.
In light of this, Imperial Road Safety is giving all road users
a few tips on safe driving habits and encouraging everyone to take
a zero-tolerance stance towards bad driving habits on our roads.
Make it start with you! they state.
Here are a few I-Pledge tips to keep you safe on the roads this
Easter:
* Ensure you take your vehicle for a com-plete check-up at least
two weeks before you depart for vacation to ensure all critical
ele-ments such as brakes, engine, tyres, etc. are in full working
order
* Wear your safe-ty belt at all times and ensure to strap your
children in. Make sure they are strapped into a proper,
height-relevant car seat and not just into the seatbelts on the
back seat.
* Do not speed and
remember to keep a safe following distance you should keep a
distance of three car lengths between you and the car in front of
you.
* Never overtake on a blind rise or in a corner.* Make sure that
you are always visible by driv-
ing with your headlights on, even during the day.* Adjust your
driving to suit weather, road sur-
face or traffi c-fl ow conditions.* Always drive a good 20km per
hour slower
at night.
* Stay alert by getting a good nights rest before a long journey
and take a break every two hours or 200 kilometres.
* Never drink and drive!
If you want to join nearly 600 000 South Afri-cans in committing
to road safety, you can make your pledge by taking the Imperial
Road Safety pledge at www.ipledge.co.za. (Source:

Motoring
The new Hilux arrived in Louis Trichardt - tougher and fresher
than ever before.
A striking feature, which stands out for the new Hilux, is
probably its advanced exterior de-sign. For the new Hilux, the
design team focused on creating a vehicle that would ooze power
and
Motoring Supplementsafety.
Underpinning the new model is an all-new frame, which is
designed to combine improved handling, ride comfort, NVH
performance and collision safety with outstanding durability in
even the most extreme driving environments. Im-provements include
30mm thicker side rails and cross members that deliver 20% greater
torsional
rigidity whilst also increasing durability.The number of
connection points from chassis
frame to upper body has been increased, accom-panied by a 45%
increase in spot welds (from 268 in the previous generation to
388). Contrib-uting to the durability of the new model is a new
heavy-duty under-cover with additional rein-forcement and increased
thickness. The stronger
chassis and new body serve as the basis for the overall revised
suspension that pro-vides excellent performance across the
board.
For buyers venturing off-road, the new Hilux is naturally
available in part-time four-wheel-drive derivatives, building on
the acclaim of its forefathers. A highlight of the new system is
the electronic rotary 4WD switch, housed within the dashboard,
which replaces the previously employed second gear lever, offering
greater ease of use.
Powering the new Hilux will be a range of newly developed
engines that offer improved power output, effi ciency and refi
nement. The new Global Diesel series was developed from the ground
up and features
New Toyota Hilux now tougher then ever beforea number of
advancements to provide a superb driving experience both on- and
off-road.
The GD series engines are offered in 2.4 and 2.8 litre guise,
with both versions placing strong emphasis on torque output and
low-speed tractability. Both variants make use of DOHC, 16-valve,
four-cylinder inline architecture and utilise Variable Nozzle
Turbocharger (VNT) technology, which delivers the compressed air
through a new front-mounted intercooler. Serv-ing as the diesel fl
agship, the 2755cc GD engine offers buyers a stout 130 kW and
effortless 420Nm from 1600 to 2400 rpm in manual guise automatic
transmission versions will receive a boost to 450Nm over the same
rpm span.
Forming the link between the advanced new engines and the driven
wheels are all-new, slick 5 - and 6-speed transmissions. Workhorse
mod-els are equipped with a rugged 5-speed manual transmission,
with higher-grade models receiving an option of either a 6-speed
manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
Pricing of the new Hilux remains very com-petitive, with some
models actually being priced lower than the versions they replace,
despite a signifi cant upgrade in specifi cation. The single cab
will range between R228 900 to R435 900, with the Xtra Cab ranging
from R333 900 to R470 900 and the double cab from R377 900 to R593
900.

Road Safety
South Africa still has a long way to go to reduce the current
rate of road fatalities by 50% to real-istically meet the
international aspirational goals laid out by the United Nations
Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 (UNDA) by 2020.
This is one of many aspects highlighted by Minister of Transport
Ms Dipuo Peters during the Road Safety Strategy and Engagement
Sum-mit held at Gallagher Estate on 12 March.
Minister Peters led deliberations and discus-sions during the
summit, which sought to mobil-ise all stakeholders (including
non-governmental bodies) to improve the countrys road safety record
in line with UNDA.
Road safety has become an issue that is critical to the countrys
economy and society at large, hence the need for decisive policies
and strat-egies to address the problem. the National Department of
Transport has undertaken the task to mobilise views of stakeholders
in the transport community, to contribute in the formulation of a
road safety strategy for the country, Peters said in her keynote
speech. This strategy, she explained, will serve as a blueprint for
all road safety interventions that the government must implement in
all communities, villages, town-ships and cities to make the
countrys roads safer for the coming four years.
This summit follows engagement sessions that were held in
various provinces last week to dis-cuss and deliberate on what
should constitute our national road safety strategy. It is an
undeniable fact that South Africa has a serious challenge with
regard to road safety. As a country we reported a road death rate
of 23.5 per 100 000 people in 2014, when the global average is 17.4
fatalities per 100 000 people. Middle-income countries like ours
record an average of 18.4 fatalities per 100 000 people. The
importance of road safety to the economy and society at large
provides a convincing case for decisive policies and strategies to
address the problem, Peters
said.Peters said that South Africa had in the past
experienced reduced road traffi c fatalities, with the fi gures
decreasing fairly steadily from 15 419 in 2006 to 12 702 in 2014.
This, she said, is still not in line with the UNDAs goal of
achieving a 50% reduction by 2020. As part of this commit-ment, we
are meeting here today as stakeholders, representatives of our
people and road safety ac-tivists to develop a new, goals-based
Road Safety Strategy that embodies the principles of the Safe
System approach and gives effect to the fi ve pillars of the UNDA.
Best practice countries demonstrate the importance of a clear
approach to road safety that details the key problem areas to be
addressed by an effective road safety strate-gy, Peters said.
The summit therefore also aimed to start the mobilisation of
stakeholders to improve the countrys road safety record ahead of
the Easter weekend. Long weekends and payday weekends are periods
in which the country experiences an increase in road deaths. In
March/April 2016, we will have two consecutive long weekends with
paydays, which means our law enforcement agencies must be on high
alert. We will offi cially unveil our plan for the Easter Season in
Limpopo next Friday, 18 March 2016, Peters said.
According to Peters, an economic and fi nancial analysis of road
crashes points to the need to im-prove road safety in the country.
This, she said, will enable South Africans to live long,
produc-tive lives and fi scal resources can be freed to fo-cus on
the important business of socio-economic development. As a
participant of the UNDA, Peters said, South Africa has endorsed the
global undertaking to save up to 5 million lives and contribute to
preventing up to 50 million serious injuries by 2020.
It is evident that we need to work harder and smarter to reduce
accidents, fatalities and injuries; inculcate good road-user
behaviour; en-courage voluntary compliance; and reduce road
accident costs, Peters said.
Minister outlines plans to curb road fatalities
Johan Rootman, dealer principal of BB Mount Fuji (Nissan) in
Louis Trichardt, walked away last week with a certifi cate as a

Human Rights Day is a national day in South Africa that is
commemorated annually on 21 March to remind South Africans about
the sacrifices that accompanied the struggle for the attainment of
democracy in the country.
The commemoration provides the country with an opportunity to
reflect on progress made in the promotion and protection of human
rights.
On 21 March 1960, the community of Sharpe-ville and Langa
townships, like their compatriots across the country, embarked on a
protest march to protest against the pass laws. During the protest
at Sharpville, 69 of the protesters were shot and killed. After
1994, the democratic government declared March 21 Human Rights Day
to commemorate and honour those who fought for the liberation
of
the country.Limpopo Mirror interviewed the public on the
question of whether Human Rights Day was still important. The
majority of people stated that the Human Rights Day was important,
as it reminded the younger generations about the history of the
country. It also educates people about their rights. It is
important, because it encourages our younger generation to know
more about the rights that we have in our country and how should we
practice these rights, said Ms Bernitta Mashau.
According to Mr Ndifelani Magadani, the gov-ernment and
stakeholders should take campaigns to the rural areas. People in
urban areas know a lot about these rights, but its just that people
in general do not understand that it is not just about their rights
only. There are responsibilities that come with those rights. He
added that the communities in the rural areas must be informed
about those rights.
Members of public also stated that it was the duty of the
government and the human rights organisations to educate all the
people about the importance of the day. They added, however, that
it was important that the people needed to under-stand their rights
and also their responsibilities. Ms Thabelo Magiledzhi added that
the people should not undermine others rights and should promote
fairness, peace and equality.
The disabled Mr John Ramarumo said that Human Rights Day served
no purpose as disabled people were still being discriminated
against in the
work place. Its difficult to get a job. Our rights are being
undermined, he added.
The provincial Humans Rights Celebrations will take place at the
Phalama Sports Grounds in Thenge Village under the auspicves of the
Mutale Local Municipality on Monday. According to the media liaison
officer of the Vhembe District Municipality, Mr Moss Shibambu, the
event will start with a march against racism led by Premier Stanley
Mathabatha. It will start at 09:00 and will start at the Mutale
municipal bus stop and end at the Phalama Sports Grounds.
The theme of this years celebrations is Racism: not in my name.
Shibambu asks everyone to sup-port the event and refrain from
racism. From 14 to 20 March it will also be anti-racism week.
During Mondays festivities, the ZCC brass band, traditional
dancers, local and national artists will entertain the guests.
Mr Ndifelani Magadani - take campaigns to rural areas.
Ms Thabelo Magiledzhi - promote fairness, peace and
equality.
Mr John Ramarumo - discrimination against the handicapped.
Ms Bernitta Mashau - teach people how to practice human
rights.

A radio producer at PhalaPhala FM, Godfrey Mavhasa, believes
that every person needs to sur-round him-/herself with positive
people who utter word of encour-agement.
I see life from a positive per-spective and I know from
expe-rience that people who surround themselves with positive
individ-uals always succeed in life, he said. When you have fallen,
they will not stare at you and say We told you that you wont make
it. They will tell you to get on your feet and continue the journey
with dignity.
Godfrey started his schooling at Tshino Primary School. He then
went to Edison Nesengani Sec-ondary, but moved to Tshipakoni
Secondary School in 2002, where he matriculated in 2004.
In 2006 he went to Univen to do a degree programme in
international relations, but he had to drop out and to go and seek
greener pastures in Johannesburg. Once he had arrived in Gauteng,
Godfrey ended up working as a waiter and also did some odd jobs for
subsistence.
He returned to Vhembe in 2009 and joined Univen FM, a community
radio station based at the University of Venda. During that time,
Takalani Thabo was pro-gramme
manager and he believed that I could present a talk show. I did
Vhone vhari mini talk show on Mondays; Tshisima tsha dzilafho on
Tuesdays and People and Law and Divhazwakale on Sundays.
Godfrey revealed that he was resuming his studies at the
University of Venda while he was also working for Univen FM. I grew
up without a father, but my mother, aunt and two uncles were always
there for me, he said. I am the fourth-born of my mother.
Godfrey graduated with a BA in International Relations in 2013.
I then joined the SABC in No-vember 2013, he said. I am that kind
of person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are
many things I like to do, to see, and to experience.
He added: I like reading and writing. I like to think and dream.
I spend quality time at home whenever I have an opportunity work
life can be hectic at times. Anyway, I dont like to commit myself
about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.
His current programmes are Hubvuma yone fhedzi Hits (10:00-
12:00 on Sundays), Nambi ya dzinambi (09:00-
11:00 on Saturdays), Educators Devel-
opment (20:05-20:30, Mondays) and
Leaner Support (20:05-20:30 (Tuesday).

Ramaphosa visits Vhembe to support the IECDeputy President Cyril
Ramaphosa has ap-pealed to voters in Vhembe to ensure that they
are registered in the area where they live.
He was accompanied by the MEC for Health, Dr Phophi Ramathuba,
and the MEC for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, Jerry Ndou,
during a visit to several areas in Vhembe a fortnight ago. The
visit coincided with the IECs registration campaign.
Ramaphosa also met with King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana before a
meeting with about 20 senior tradi-tional leaders in the 2Ten
Hotel. They also visited the Malamulele area for a door-to-door
campaign to inform the public regarding the importance
of registration.Communities in the area boycotted
the 2014 general election, citing a demand for their own
municipality after the 2014 uprising in which government property
was set alight.
The community of Vuwani blocked the roads and residents say they
did not want the IEC to conduct voter registration until the
decision to in-clude their area in the new planned municipality was
reversed.
Ramaphosa expressed the hope that the situation in Vuwani would
return to normal by the time the local elections took place.
The mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi
(centre) officially opened the newly renovated Ledig Road last
Friday. Mutavhatsindi said that the Makhado Municipality would
continue to deliver quality service to the people.

Univens infrastructure impress MananaThe Deputy Minister of
Higher Education and Training, Mr Mduduzi Manana, congratu-lated
the University of Venda (Univen) with the infrastruc-ture
development on the cam-pus, especially the construction that is
underway of the new student residence.
Accompanied by the rector of Univen, Prof Peter Mbati, and a
group of contractors, Manana toured the campus, inspecting the
condition of students' residences during his visit to Univen on
Friday as part of the Siyahlola
programme.We know there are many
challenges that universities across the country are facing, but
we congratulate Univen for taking a lead in resolving such
challenges, Manana said. He added that he was impressed with the
positive attitude and energy he experienced on campus.
The new student residence is partially financed by the
De-partment of Higher Education and Training and the Develop-ment
Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), Manana said. He added
that the purpose of the Siyahlola programme was to check the
state of student residences and living conditions of students at
the residences.
Prof Mbati said he was happy for the support they were getting
from the Department of Higher Education, while the president of the
SRC, Ms Mashudu Nthulane, said she hoped that the condi-tions for
students who resided at the campuss residences would change for the
better, following the construction of the new stu-dent
residence.

Good year for nut farmersVenetia Mine donates money for mobile
testing unitsThe Green Farms Nut Company (GFNC) hosted their annual
offer meeting at their macadamia nut processing factory in Levubu
last week.
This was the third in a series of meetings held at GNFCs various
factories in Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZula Natal. Not only has
GFNC been a key role player in the industry, it is also one of the
coun-trys oldest and largest processors and marketers of macadamia
nuts.
Green Farms CEO Jill Whyte ad-dressed Levubu farmers, along with
her Australian and South American colleagues from the marketing
com-pany Green and Gold Nuts.
Key topics that came under dis-cussion were the importance of
opening new markets, the Chinese
and South American markets and the announcement of the annual
back pay. Back pay is the profit share paid back to farmers at the
end of each season. For 2015, GNFC paid out 22.3%, the highest in
rand value the company has ever paid out. The company explained
that it was able to achieve such exceptional pay-outs because it
used a profit-sharing business model in which it offered suppliers
100% of all sales and exchange benefits earned by their crop, over
and above the offer GFNC made at the beginning of the season.
GFNC thanked their farmers for 25 years of loyal service and
an-nounced that they looked forward to many more years as the
premier partner for macadamia nut farmers in the industry.

Levubu on 7 March about the companys annual back pay. Photo

De Beers Venetia Mine presented a cheque to the value of R46 388
to the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa), located in
Polokwane, last week.
These funds were raised during the Venetia Mine annual Cansa
Shavathon, in which 773 employees and contracting partners donated
a total of R23 194 by having their hair shaved or sprayed in
different colours. The amount raised by employee volunteers was
matched by De Beers and the resulting R46 388 will be used towards
mobile cancer testing units, which will service the rural areas of
Limpopo and do cancer education and awareness in the area.
Ms Susan Nortj, senior project planner at Venetia Mine and a
passionate cancer survivor who lost both her parents to the
disease, thanked Cansa for their exceptional work, particularly in
assisting those members of the community who do not have access to
a medical aid.
Venetia Corporate Affairs Manager Ms Jose-phine Pieters
addressed the employee volunteers
involved in the outreach and thanked them for their passion and
en-ergy.
She commended the Cansa Shavathon for the good work they
con-tinued to do. We look forward to seeing how the funds raised by
our Diamond Ambassadors at Venetia Mine will make a difference in
our labour-sending areas of Musina and Blouberg.

The late Mr Sarel Si-ban da.
An employee of the Musina Municipality, Mr Sarel Sibanda (59),
was described as a dedicated man who worked until his last day on
earth. He passed away last week.
He was a service worker in the corporate services
department.
His funeral on Sunday was a celebration of a life well lived as
speaker after speaker reminded the hundreds of mourners of the good
things that Sibanda had done for the community.
His friend and colleague, Mr Titus Manyaga, told mourners that
death had robbed him of a brother and a true friend. He encouraged
me to take my work very seriously and advised me on many things,
including personal family matters. I will miss him dearly. Sibandas
twin sister, Ms Annikie Tshikhudo, said she would remember her
brother as a loving person who was always smiling. When he fell
ill, we thought he would recover and be with us for some time. It
is unfortunate that God decided to take him while we were still in
dire need of him. He was a wonderful gift to the family On behalf
of the municipal council, Cllr Nkele Milanzi said the fact that
Sibanda had

reflec-tion that he was dedicat-ed to his work, thereby
contributing to com-munity development. Now that the Lord has
called him, he is no longer feeling the pain he used to feel while
he was on this earth. The municipality has

Thohoyandou police need help to find wanted men
Vhutshilo Rambau Rammbadi (29).Ndivhuwo Michael Jomo John
Tambler Matshili Ravhura (38).
The Thohoyandou police are looking for two men who they believe
could help them in cases of murder, business robbery and house
robbery.
The two men had already appeared in the Mutale Magistrate's
Court and at Makhado respectively and have skipped bail.
Warrants of arrest have been issued against both of them.
The first suspect is Ndivhuwo Michael Jomo John Tambler Matshili
Ravhura (38) of Makonde, Khub-vi and Khwekhwe in Vhembe.
He had already ap-peared in Middelburg in Mpumalanga and Makhado
for fraud and possession of stolen property and never went back to
court.
In another case, Vhut-shilo Rambau Rammba-di (29), notoriously
known as Diabolo
of Hamangilasi Tshivhazwaulu, is being sought for a business
robbery and murder that happened at the Sasol Garage at Tsh-isahulu
in September 2015.
A security guard was shot dead during a robbery at the
garage.
Rammbadi was out on R1 000 bail after
appearing in the Mutale Magistrate's Court for business
robbery.
A warrant of arrest was issued after he skipped bail by not
attending court.
Those with any information in this re-gard can contact the
investigating officer, W/O Mutavhatsindi, at 082 702 9890.

Well-known young singer Tshanduko Mazwale Maano recently
released her second album, Usapfa hutunya mavhunzi.
It is expected that the nine-track album will do well
commercially and it is already in demand locally. Mazwale said that
she was very happy with the latest release.
She was born at Lwamondo-Mapate and started singing as a little
girl in the primary schools choir. She later became the lead
vocalist in the local church.
Even though I am presently using an old studio, I try to work
with different producers to avoid creating the sounds and same
level of quality every time. She added that this was the criticism
that some local in-house artists received. She felt, however, that
her talent was not being recognized. Her fi rst album, Ndinne
Uno,was released in 20014, with hit praise songs such as Ndwinwana
wanga and the title track, Ndinne Uno.
The favourite songs on her new al-bum are Thohoyamudi, Usapfa
hutunya mavhunzi and Mavharivhari. I have been wandering around and
saw many things in life, but there was one thing that I was
miss-ing in life, and that was God. Now that I have found the Lord,
everything has changed and my life has to bear testimony that I
have changed. That is where this album came into being, Mazwale
said.
She encourages young people to realize the impor-tance of
education and to put their education fi rst. She is currently doing
a diploma in sound engineering at Damelin College.
There is nothing that I love more than being behind the camera
as a fi lm director and also facing the challenges that come with
directing movies.
Those were the words of an award-winning film maker, Maanda
Ntsandeni-Maumela, who had switched from print and radio journalism
to fi lm making.
I have made several fi lms; Shouting Spirits was my very fi rst
fi lm when I was in my last year in Monash, said the res-ident of
Thohoyandou Block F. It was a very important fi lm for me, because,
at the very least, I managed to raise funds outside of varsity to
make that piece.
To better place himself as a film maker, Ntsandeni-Maumela
enrolled at Newtown Film and Television School and later at Monash
Universitys fi lm and television unit. Since I come from a family
of storytellers, its not diffi cult to see why I chose to pursue
the career path I have grown to love so much, he said. This
producer also shot a pivotal
documentary, Legends of the Lake (a tale of Lake Fundudzi),
which did very well in Europe for broadcasters, and that was his
second fi lm.
What was important was that I pro-duced that fi lm myself, he
said. To this very end, Legends of the Lake remains my favourite fi
lm, and what hurts me the most is that the people for whom I made
that fi lm have never watched it. Its gone and thats it, so you
learn some very important lessons about the industry and that has
made me a very strong person.
Last year, he made headlines with his docu-mentary, Parole Camp,
which won a World View prize at the Dur-
ban International Film Festival and became the most watched and
request-ed fi lm at the Tri-Continental Human Rights Film
Festival.
When young people send me emails thanking me for making such a
fi lm, I have nothing but humility and hope that we can still turn
the tide against drugs and crime in this country, he said. The
short version of this film was made
for Aljazeera English, and like the longer version, it received
praises from all over the world. Parole Camp is a tale of youth,
drugs and crime, an off-the-wall
piece which was also a tribute to my late friend
who never got a sec-ond chance in life.

creative juices are still fresh and fl owing

The Shanzha Tshikona dance group had an opportunity to audition
for the local SABC 2 soapie, Muvhango, at Xivulana near Malamulele
last Tuesday.
The traditional dance group comprises mainly youngsters from
Shanzha village.
The chief of Shanzha village, Mr Pfananani Shavhani, said that
it was a great honour to be ap-proached by one of South African top
soapies. Our main aim for starting this dance group was to keep our
youth off the streets and teach them the little we can about our
culture through tshikona dancing.
The location manager of Muvhango, Mr Tshama-no Makhadi,
indicated that he was passionate about young people and developing
them. In a country

where the population of the youth is greater than that of any
other age group, I believe that more opportunities should be
granted to the young people, said Makhadi.
He further indicated that young people should be encouraged
through the media to make use of opportunities they get to
understand and embrace their culture. It is important to
participate and understand culture. We rely on the youth to carry
our culture forward.
One of the dancers, Lingedzani Mavhusha, said that he never ever
thought that their dance group would ever appear on television and
that he was thrilled by the great offer they had been given by
Muvhango.

To ensure access to fi nance for most parts of rural Limpopo,
the Small En-terprise Finance Agency (sefa) hopes to implement offi
ces within municipal structures in the near future.
sefa has regional offi ces situated in Polokwane, and they also
have a col-laboration with their sister agency, the Small
Enterprise Development Agencys (SEDA) offi ces throughout the
country to ensure that most regions of the country are able to
access fi nance closer to where the people live. This means that
SEDA, which has offi ces in most parts of the country, will be able
to assist with sefa applications. People with access to the
internet can visit the sefa website for on-
line application processes, or else they are welcome to contact
the agency by phone or e-mail.
The agency is mandated by government to foster the
establishment, survival and growth of SMMEs and co-peratives to
contribute towards poverty alleviation and job creation by funding
these, not only across South Africa, but with special emphasis
being placed in mostly rural, underdeveloped regions, of which
Lim-popo in general and Vhembe in particular fi t perfectly.
If you are a local SMME or co-opera-tive in Limpopo, you can
access funding through the following channels, either Wholesale or
Direct Lending.
The former encompasses mainly part-nerships with established
intermediaries and cooperatives, for example in the agricultural
sector, where sefa provides facilities (debt/equity) to
intermediaries, joint venture, partnerships (Specialised Funds) and
other collaborative relation-ships in the form of loans ranging
from
R 5 Million to R 100 Million. Direct Lending entails loans that
