Murder on campus: Univen to beef up security - page 2

Horror crash claims 13Thirteen Zimbabweans died and seven were critically injured when their taxi collided with a truck that was stranded in the middle of the road.

The accident happened near the Baobab Toll Plaza along the N1 near Musina last Thursday morning. Rescue workers had to use the jaws of life to cut away the wrecked taxi and get to the victims trapped underneath the truck.

Col Ronél Otto, spokes-person for the po-

lice in Limpopo, told Limpopo Mirror that the taxi had been overloaded, with 20 Zimbabwean nationals, including the driver. She said the group were on their way back to their country when the horror accident took place. According to her, 12 people died at the scene, while one passed away in the Musina Hospital.

Otto added

that a culpable homicide case had been opened and that the police were still investigating the cause of the accident. She also mentioned that the police were looking into the possibility that the driver of the taxi might have been tired.

The spokesperson for the Department of Roads and Transport, Mr Joshua Kwapa, confi rmed that the taxi was overloaded when the accident happened. He said the taxi crashed into the rear of the truck that was in the middle of the road.

In 2005, 19 Zimbabweans died when the taxi in which they were travelling plunged over a cliff on the same road, near the Hendrik Verwoerd Tunnels. Last year, 10 people died when a taxi collided with a truck near Bandelierkop.

One of the survivors, Ms Mutera Mungwesu, was vis-ibly upset and struggled to hold back her tears when Limpopo Mirror visited her in the Musina Hospital on Thurs-day morning. She said the 19 boarded the taxi, “longing to see our families at home. I felt tired and decided to sleep. Like a clap of thunder, I heard a loud bang. Within seconds, there were bodies scattered all over the road”.

She said she cannot remem-ber what happened after the accident, “until I found myself in this hospital bed. I strongly believe that we were saved by the grace of God.”

Assistance for grief-stricken family

Mayor Phiri visits survivors of crash

Univen promises to beef up security

Univen’s vice-chancellor and principal, Prof Peter Mbati, on Tuesday visited the grief-stricken Mbulungeni family whose daughter was murdered at Univen last Thursday.

Mbati, who was accompanied by officials of the university and SRC members, promised help to the family.

Third-year nursing student Ms Takalani Mbulungeni (21) of Vhurivhuri was allegedly killed by her boyfriend. It is said that he suspected her of cheating on him. Her boyfriend allegedly tried to commit suicide by cutting his

throat. He was taken to hospital in a critical condition, where he is said to be recovering.

Mbulungeni’s death has sparked an outcry at the universi-ty, with students demanding that security be beefed up on campus. On Monday, angry students filled Freedom Square on campus to voice their concerns to the man-agement of the university. The management told them that most of their grievances were already receiving attention, with some in the implementation stage.

Addressing the family during the visit, Mbati said he was sad-

dened by the gruesome incident that happened on campus, which is supposed to be a place of learn-ing. “We are here to express our most sincere condolences to you. This is indeed a big loss, not only to the family but to all of us. We are here to share the loss with you,” he added. Representing the family, Mr Naledzani Madzhie said the family was greatly con-soled and comforted by the visit of the university’s officials.

Mbulungeni will be buried at HaMphego village on Saturday. A memorial service was held at the university on Wednesday.

The rector of Univen, Prof Peter Mbati, has promised to beef up security, amid allega-tions that lax security led to the death of a 21-year-old student who was stabbed to death on campus a week ago.

Speaking on campus during a mass meeting on Monday, Mbati said the university would imple-ment an integrated security plan. There will also be a community policing forum on campus and students will be provided with bicycles for patrolling the cam-pus.

A third-year nursing, Miss Takalani Mmbulungeni of Vhurivhuri, met an untimely death last Thursday, after alleg-edly being stabbed repeatedly by her boyfriend.

He allegedly lay in wait for

her at the back of the students’ sports hall.

The nasty incident sent shock-waves throughout the country, after her pictures were posted on Facebook shortly after the incident.

Mbati and his management faced a barrage of criticism from the student body. These included lax security, old student cards that have not been deactivated and a demand that the university must play a role in the burial of the dead student.

The president of the student representative council, Mr Andis-ani Mathelemusa, said the uni-versity was not taking complaints from students seriously. “We are greatly saddened by the death of our dear friend,” he said.

The victim’s father, Mr Phin-

eas Mbulungeni, said the family was blaming the university for poor safety on campus.

“We are devastated by the whole incident and we are putting all the blame on security at the gate for not doing their job. These people are paid to protect our children, but instead, thugs and killers are entering with weapons. If they had done their job, our angel would be still alive today,” he said. “My child was such a loving person with a good heart. We could see that there was a bright future ahead of her; now our dreams were shattered.”

“We can confirm the incident and that we have opened a mur-der and attempted murder dock-ets against the boyfriend,” said Thohyandou police spokesperson Const Avhafarei Tshiovhe.

Mayor Carol Phiri at the bedside of one of the seven survivors of the horrific accident that killed 13 people

The mayor of the Musina Municipality, Cllr Carol Phiri, visited the seven survivors of the horror accident between a taxi and a truck in hospital earlier this week.

The people were killed about 42km south of Musina, when the taxi in which they were were travelling from Gauteng to Zimbabwe hit a station-ary truck, which was parked in the middle of the N1 due to mechanical failure.

Phiri said the gov-ernment was worried about the increasing number of accidents on the roads. “This is a serious concern as more innocent lives are lost on our roads. All stake-holders need to come together and work with the government to come up with initiatives aimed at decreasing the fatali-ties on our roads.”

Phiri wished a speedy recovery to the survi-vors and also sent con-dolences to the families of the deceased. “I have personally been at the

accident scene and what I saw was shocking. This was one of the most horrific accidents I have ever witnessed in my life. It is miraculous that these people survived, after their taxi was reduced to a mangled wreck. Given the dedication of our medi-cal staff at Messina Hospital, we have no doubt that the survivors will receive the best care on their way to recovery,” she added.

In Memoriam

Former activist Hwala laid to restA former political activist, Mr Ndikandafhi Daniel Mabitha Ramudzuli (67) of Makonde village, was laid to rest during a memorable funeral at the weekend. He recently died in 1 Military Hospital.

During the apartheid era, Mabitha was a highly wanted individual because he was re-garded as a terrorist by the then government.

Also known as Hwala, Mabit-ha could lift his opponents and hit them against the wall when he applied discipline to com-munity troublemakers. He used to run an 80km return journey from Makonde to Thohoyandou daily while exercising.

A political activist and mem-ber of the ANC, Mabitha re-ceived his military training at Chikwalakwala in Zimbabwe in 1968.

After his training in Zimba-bwe, he proceeded to Zambia where he continued to learn more about the military with the aim of overthrowing the apartheid government.

He then went to Mozambique to continue with his mission with his friends, but they were captured by Portuguese soldiers. All his friends were thrown into

the Zambezi River and perished, but Mabitha was handed over to the South African authorities. In chains, Mabitha was transported back to Louis Trichardt and later sent to a Pretoria prison where he spent years after he was found guilty of terrorism. He was released from prison in 1979 and came back to settle at his home village of Makonde, where he was involved in ANC underground work.

He worked at the then fa-mous De Paradise Night Club in Thohoyandou as a security official. In the early eighties, Mabitha silenced the Varara Boys, a gang that terrorised villagers in Makonde and the surrounding villages. He did this by hunting the gang members individually.

He also worked at Donald Fraser Hospital as a boiler, had a stint with the Venda Defence Force and also worked at Protea Furnishers as a salesman. In the nineties, he worked at the Department of Water Affairs as a pump operator.

As a close relative to the Ravhura royal house, Mabitha played a very important role in building up the Ravhura dynasty. At one time he saved

the life of his uncle, Mpandeli Wilson Ravhura, who was a re-gent to the Ravhura throne by advising him not to eat food that was prepared at the royal kraal. The food was then given to dogs, cats, fowls and cats that died instantly. It was later discovered that the food had been poisoned.

Mabitha is survived by three wives (Avhashoni, Josephine and Constance), nine children and 11 grandchildren.

Tributes from all corners of the country were sent to the family.

Family members photographed at the graveside of Mabitha Ramudzuli shortly after the funeral service.

Nurses and officials from the Musina hospital picket outside the hospital.

Angry staff members from the Musina hospi-tal chased out the hospital's clinical manager, Dr Alec Dube, last Thursday, alleging that he refused to provide anti-retrovirals (ARVs) to rape victims.

The staff members alleged that Dr Dube refused to attend to sick young women who wanted to undergo womb cleansing after undergoing illegal abortions. It is alleged that he refused to treat foreign nationals, saying that the budget did not allow for foreigners to be treated here in South Africa. "He chased away three doctors from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), saying they were incompetent," said a staff member.

is why he deliberately didn't renew the contracts of the three Congolese doctors. If the Department of Health sends them back, we will intensify the protest," they said.

Limpopo MEC for Health and Social Develop-ment Dr Norman Mabasa said he could only deal with the matter if given a directive from Minister Aaron Motsoaledi's office. "Now I don't have pow-ers. Ask the minister's office, to avoid two parallel statements," said Dr Mabasa.

The spokesperson for the National Department of Health, Joe Maila, said they had appointed two officials from the district office to act as chief executive officer and clinical manager to try and

ensure the smooth running of the hospital."It doesn’t mean the two officials that were

chased away are guilty. We have deployed a team of investigators to investigate all the allegations levelled against the chief executive officer and the clinical manager. It is business as usual at Musina Hospital," said Maila.

The chairperson of Nehawu in Musina, Phu-mudzo Mphaphuli, issued a statement, following a meeting with Vhembe officials from the health department. “All our workers are returning to work and we are happy with the agreement,” he said. Ac-cording to Mphaphuli, it was agreed that the two officials be removed from the hospital.

Angry Musina hospital staff chase out clinical manager

The hospital is ap-parently facing a R15 million lawsuit after he had allegedly assaulted another doctor. The doc-tor who was allegedly assaulted is currently working at Tshikondeni Coal Mine. "There are at least 64 complaints from community members and this is compromis-ing the quality of service at the hospital," they said. Nurses at the hos-pital also threw out their chief executive officer, Simon Netshivhambe, alleging that he had ap-pointed two managers for a year in acting posi-tions that didn't exist.

"The two managers got close to R200 000 per year. Netshivhambe was always defending Dr Dube. The CEO also doesn't want doctors from the Congo and that

Ladzani Primary School in the Thengwe area in rural Mutale is still celebrating their recent success. The school finished third in the Baswa le Meetse competition. The competition was organised to make the scholars aware of the importance of preserving water and the environment. The school received R1 000 for the achievement. In our photo, happy pupils, teachers and the principal, Ms Emily Phundulu (standing second from right), rejoice. On the left is the arts and culture teacher, Mr Thiathu Netshikweta, who taught the pupils the song that won the prize.

Police seized, among others, two rhino horns and an illegal hunting rifle from Baloyi and Mutuque.

Duminisani Baloyi (33, left) and Enok Mutuque (48), shortly after they were arrested in the Kruger National Park.

Two suspected rhino poachers were arrested by rangers from the Kruger National Park two weeks ago.

The two men, both from Mozambique, were ar-rested in the Pafuri part of the park. The police, ac-

Home Affairs’ records state that Ms Lanwisa Gladys Baloyi is dead and buried.

When Ms Lanwisa Gladys Baloyi recently visited the Makhado office of the Department of Home Affairs, she only wished to rectify her date of birth. Unfortunately for her, she received a nasty surprise when she was told she was officially dead. She apparently died in a car accident in 2010. As if that was not enough, Ba-loyi was informed that someone from Chavani village, in the Elim area, had since claimed lots of money from the Road Accident Fund, using her name.

Baloyi, a resident at Valdezia, says she can-not understand why she has been recorded as deceased when she is still alive and healthy. “I told them that I am alive as they could even see me with their own eyes,” she explains. “I even showed them my ID book, but they still did not want to believe me. They then phoned the Elim Hospital’s OPD who, to my total surprise, confirmed my supposed death.”

Baloyi was informed that she was buried on the very day when South Africa was playing against Mexico during the 2010 FIFA World Cup opening match. “Now I cannot even use my ID for any other purposes, because it is said that I am no more,” she laments.

The spokesperson for the Department of Home Affairs in Lim-popo, Mr Sam Moremi, said that Baloyi’s case was one of the rare cases in South Africa, where

people sometimes shared names and ID numbers. However, he was quick to add that such cases were critical because fraudsters used unsuspecting people’s names and ID numbers to conduct their criminal activities. “We can only advise Mrs Baloyi to seek an affidavit from the police station which states that she is alive and not dead and bring it to our office, so that we may investigate the matter,” Moremi said. He said that Baloyi would be helped, but also added that it might take longer to solve a problem of this nature.

cording to information provided, confiscated an unlicensed .458 hunting rifle with ammunition, two axes and two rhino horns.

The rifle and am-munition, together with bullets that were re-covered from a rhino carcass, were sent for ballistic tests.

The two suspects, Duminisani Baloyi (33) and Enok Mutuque (48), allegedly showed the police the carcass of a young white rhino cow.

Both appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court on Monday and were charged with the illegal hunting of a protected species in a restricted area.

The case was postponed to 24 May for further investigation and they will remain in custody.

Arrested for dumpingbaby in the toiletThe Levubu Police have opened a case of at-tempted murder against a 38-year-old mother, Evelyn Sihongo of Tsianda, who had allegedly dumped her newborn baby into a pit toilet at the back of her home a fortnight ago.

W/O Solly Mukhola of the SAPS at Levubu said that community members heard the little baby crying inside the pit toilet and informed the police. When police members arrived at the scene, they had to break the toilet open to retrieve the baby. The baby was presumed to be dead, but was taken to Tshilidzini hospital. At the hospital, the staff at the mortuary received a shock when the baby suddenly started to cry. He was quickly rushed to a hospital ward for treatment.

According to the police, the mother had dumped the baby because her boyfriend was not prepared to support him. She was not prepared to look after the baby. She was later charged with attempted murder and appeared in the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court. The case was postponed to 31 May for a bail application.

At the time of going to press, the mother and her baby were still at Tshilidzini Hospital under police guard, where the baby was receiving treatment.

The Makhado Municipality recently appointed Mr Johannes Kanwendo as the acting director of community services. The appointment follows the departure of the former director, Mr Elias Mugari, whose contract expired two months ago. Photo supplied

People came from all corners of our province to “House of Royals Church-Biaba” to celebrate Rev. C. Dzivhani’s 40th birthday and renewal of marriage vows to Dr. Fitzgerald Dzivhani.

Armed 4 HArvest ministries

Four room house for destitute family“Shelter is one of the most ba-sic needs for human life, and without it, life gets difficult as one is exposed to many forms of hazards.”

These were the words of the Makhado Municipality’s acting mayor, Cllr Shonisani Sinyosi, during the handover of a house to the indigent couple Mr Joseph Khuba (48) and Ms Azwindini Selina Maano (40) at Tshikwara-ni village a fortnight ago.

Rendeals Four Consulting had built a four-roomed house for Maano and Khuba after the couple’s one-roomed mud-brick house collapsed during a rain storm on the night of 5 September last year.

During the handover, Khuba and Maano said that they were overwhelmed by the joy of own-

ing a new house of their own. “We can’t express our gratitude enough for the kindness that these people have shown us in building us a house which we now call our home,” said Khuba.

The couple’s two children have been living in a children’s home in Tshikota, and Maano said that they would go to fetch their children to come to live with them in the home now that they had a respectable shelter. “They will be happy to stay with us, un-like when they were forced to live at the centre for children because we didn’t have enough space at home,” she spoke.

Rendeals Four Consulting’s CEO, Mr Goddard Masiavhula, said the company was committed to improving the livelihood of the communities in all possible ways.

“The house for the Khuba fam-ily restored their dignity,” said Masiavhula. “We believe it will bring about inspirational change for this family, especially their children, so that they grow up to take up their rightful position in society.”

The chairperson of the Kutama Traditional Council, Vho-Mali-gana Kutama, thanked the donor on behalf of the Kutama com-munity and said that Rendeals’ deeds were highly appreciated.

Rendeals Four Consulting is based in Johannesburg, while Masiavhula is originally from Tshikwarani. He indicated that building a house for a needy family in the village was a way of ploughing back to the community that helped raise him to become the man that he is today.

Jail time for housebreaking and assault

Dedicated municipal official Jumara passes away

The Dzanani Magistrate’s Court sentenced Mulalo Mmbi-di (24) to a direct jail term of four years and six months, after he was convicted on charges of assault and housebreaking and theft last Monday.

The court heard that Mmbidi had forcefully gained entrance into an elderly woman’s house and proceeded to her bedroom at Mauluma on 22 April last year. The lady was awakened by a strange noise inside her room and raised her head to investigate, but the accused then stabbed her in the head with a sharp object.

Mr Manda Frans Jumara (50) was described by fellow workers as a dedicated employee who took his work very seriously.

Jumara died last week after serving the Musina Municipality’s technical department as part of water services for 10 years. He was buried at Musina during an emotional service, which was attended by municipal employees, family mem-bers, friends and the local community at large.

The director of economic development and planning, Mr Nathi Tshiwanammbi, said the mu-nicipal community was sad to lose a hardworking employee like Jumara.

“As a member of the technical team, Jumara was at the centre of service delivery because he had to make sure that local people received basic services like water with ease. He was always there whenever there were technical challenges that needed to be addressed. His contributions

She started screaming for help as the intruder ran away.

A neighbour heard the woman’s cry and came to help. When the neighbour went to her home, she noticed that her window was smashed and that her mobile phone and some money were missing. She then reported the matter to the police.

Meanwhile, Mmbidi insisted throughout the trial that he had not committed the crimes, but another man who had been with him on that night. He said he was hiding in a flow-erbed while the other man entered the house and stole the mobile

phone, which was then handed to him to recharge. The mobile phone was found inside Mmbidi’s bedroom the same night, after the police’s investigation led them to his home.

The court ruled that, based on his evidence, the accused had placed himself at the scene of the crime. “This court rejects the claim that you found the cellphone from your friend,” said the magistrate in convicting the accused.

In mitigation, Mmbidi said he had a spouse and child whom he looked after, since his partner

was unemployed. “I survive by doing odd jobs, and if I were to be given a direct jail term, my fam-ily might suffer as a result of my imprisonment,” he pleaded.

The court established that Mmbidi had previous convictions which dated back to 2007, when he was convicted and sentenced for similar offences on two oc-cassions.

Finally, Mmbidi was sentenced to 18 months for assault with in-tent to do grevious bodily harm, and an effective three years’ imprisonment for housebreaking and theft.

will remain to be seen forever.” On behalf of the South African

Municipal Workers Union, Mr Ben-nie Tlou said Jumara’s death should continue to unite the workers of Musina Municipality.

“We must make sure that his as-pirations are not in vain. He worked hard to make sure that the people of Musina are served effectively and we must continue where he left off. His death left a void in the workers of Musina Municipality, but we will honour him by working hard to rein-force unity among ourselves.”

Mayor Carol Phiri said it was very disturbing when the municipality lost workers at a time when the commu-nity needed many hands to serve the community.

“Our wealth is our employees and we feel very bad when one of us leaves us unexpectedly. Jumara was a valuable asset to the municipality

and we will always remember him for all the good things he did for our communities.”

Final hurdles for the NFD league teams

Farewell to principals and teachers

Bursaries for disadvantaged students Several successes for stock theft unit

Another advocate in the Makhera family

This weekend marks the end of the league pro-gramme for the National First Division teams. All the matches will be played tomorrow after-noon, starting at 15:00.

Dynamos will conclude their league programme by paying a visit to FC Cape Town. For the former pride of Giyani it will be a formality, as they have already been relegated to the Safa second division. The Cape Town side is comfortably perched in the middle of the 16-team log.

Jomo Cosmos will meet Santos at the Athlone Stadium and Mpumalanga Black Aces will host Thanda Royal Zulu at the Themba Senamela Sta-dium in Witbank. Both Aces and Royal Zulu are contestants for the league title. Witbank Spurs are set to collect maximum points in their match against Blackburn Rovers at the Mthatha Stadium. FC AK will play against Vasco da Gama at the Eldorado Park Stadium. Polokwane City and Roses United

The principal of Vele Secondary School out-side Mutale, Mr Samuel Makhado, has urged retired school principals and teachers to work towards the upliftment of the communities they are living in.

“We want our retired principals and teachers to be innovative and serve as an example to the communities,” said Makhado. He was speaking during an event on Friday, to bid farewell to five principals and eight teachers.

They are members of the Professional Educators Union (PEU)’s Mungweni district. The event took

Five students from disad-vantaged families granted bursaries by the Thulamela municipality have hailed the municipality and said they will make sure they do not disappoint it.

The five have benefited from the R300 000 Thulamela May-oral Bursary Fund.

“We will reciprocate,” they said in unison.

Speaking at the signing-on ceremony where the students

signed the study contracts last Wednesday, Mikateko Honoka, an international relations stu-dent at Univen, said she was determined to finish her degree in the required time frame.

“When I passed my Grade 12 with university exemption, going to university was just a dream for me. My parents are not working and cannot afford to take me to a tertiary institu-tion. I am determined to do my best and repay the municipal-

ity by passing my studies and attaining my qualification,“ she said.

Thulamela Mayor Grace Ma-hosi said the government cared about education and that was the reason it helped them. “In respecting us, you need to pass your exams,” she said.

The bursary fund was started this year and is meant for those who do well but have no money to further their studies at terti-ary level.

The escalating number of rhi-nos that are being poached in the province prompted the pro-vincial police commissioner, Lt Gen Simon Mpembe, to assign the Stock Theft Unit to crack down on rhino-poaching syn-dicates, and his decision seems to be paying dividends.

Barely three months into their new role of targeting poachers and preserving the world’s most vulnerable beast of late, the Stock Theft unit has recorded a substan-tial amount of success.

From January up to date, the unit has arrested a total of 31 suspects, recovered 11 rifles

(including two AK 47s), 128 live rounds of ammunition, four rhino horns, two elephant tusks, eight knives and sixes axes.

The provincial commander of the Stock Theft Unit, Lt Col Madimetja Mokale, said his col-leagues had been cracking stock-related crimes for quite some time and was not fazed when the responsibility of tackling rhino poaching came along.

He said the dedication and determination which his col-leagues within the unit showed towards their responsibilities was the driving force behind all the successes.

Mpembe said fighting crime was everybody’s responsibility and he would shuffle personnel around if needs be.

Mpembe added that he could not ignore the good work which the unit had been doing over the years and it was time to entrust them with more responsibilities; he was happy with the return. “The war against rhino poach-ing in the province is tough, but we will fight it tooth and nail. We will do our best to empower the unit with resources and also bolster their manpower if the tasks at hand demand this,” said Mpembe.

The family of Adv Ratshilumela Makhera has produced another advocate, following the swear-ing-in of his second-born son, Rabelani Mutsina Makhera, as an advocate by the Limpopo High Court in Thohoyandou.

Rabelani (29) was sworn-in by Judge JA Webster and Judge Mokotedi Mpse on April 25.

Rabelani received his LLB

degree at the University of Venda in 2008 and worked at the Makhado (Louis Trichardt) office of Legal Aid South Af-rica in 2009. In 2010, he worked as a prosecutor at the Dzanani Magis-trate’s Court.

Rabelani said he was humbled to follow in the footsteps of his fa-ther, who has been an advocate for more than fifteen years.

“My next goal is to open my own practice,” said Rabelani with a broad smile.

Ms Lizy Rambau of

Mothombo, Rambau & Sigogo Attorneys, who presented the papers of application for Rabelani to be admitted as an advocate to the court, said she was thrilled that their application had been successful. She said Rabelani was a hardworking young man who had a bright future.

Makhera (senior) said he be-lieved that it came from within

the family. “My late grandfather, Abel Makhera, was a police of-ficer. One of my uncles was also a police officer. I also became attracted to legal matters at a very early age through reading court judgments from the newspapers,” said Makhera senior, who con-firmed that he had done a lot of guidance of his son while he was still busy with his studies.

Ms Lizzy Rambau, Adv Rabelani Makhera and his father, Adv Ratshi-lumela Makhera, celebrate the acceptance of Rabelani as advocate.

place in the hall of Vele Secondary School.

The retired principals and teachers were also given gifts and certifi-cates of appreciation for their dedication in educating children and leading their schools for the better.

Hundreds of PEU members from various branches, such as Mu-tale, Ngwedi and Niani, attended the function.

Makhado, who rep-resented the Mutale circuit office, strongly applauded the retired principals and teachers

for the good relationship developed and the mean-ingful contribution in uplifting the standard of life by educating the children.

The chairperson of PEU’s Mungweni District, Mr Humbulani Tshitande, said they had worked well with the principals and teachers.

Mr Ratshibvumo Maalakano, former principal at Tshipise Primary, who retired last week, advised the current teachers to provide good examples to live by to the pupils. “Being a teacher during our days, we regard it as a calling from God. Pupils used to respect their teachers,” he said.

MOVED!

Dali to again lead Mathule’s Sanco branch

Memorial for deceased prison officials

Mr Khathutshelo Dali was re-elected as the chairperson of the Mathule branch of the South African National Civics Organisation (Sanco) during a general meeting at the Lwa-mondo Secondary School two weeks ago.

He will be assisted by Mr Lufhugu, while Mr Lawrence Rasikhanya retained his position as the general secretary. The other members of the executive committee are: Messrs Khathut-shelo Ramukosi (deputy-secre-tary), Balanganani Netshifhefhe

(treasurer) and David Kutama (organiser).

The heads of the various de-partments were also elected dur-ing the meeting. The departments will be headed by Ndidzulafhi Kwinda, Azwitamisi Rasendedza, Brenda Mulaudzi, Kenny Simba, Mushaisano Madzivhandila, Tshikonelo Nemaonzeni, John Mulaudzi, Petrus Munyai, Nditsheni Tshiwela, Mashau Makhado, Lucky Bidela and Mashudu Nemudzivhadi.

According to Dali, the branch is faced with a number of critical

challenges, including the mainte-nance of roads, the construction of a clinic and the shortage of water in the area.

Mr Dali further indicated that the maintenance of the local stadium (Tshifulanani) is one of the issues which are at the top of their priority list. He stated that they would soon facilitate the formation of the community policing forum. He added that the branch would work closely with the traditional leaders and other community structures.

Also with him in the photo are the former area commissioner, Mr Ananias Mbewe, and former Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West Region, Vhamusanda Watson Tshivhase.

Families, friends and relatives of deceased correctional of-ficials were urged to regard the deceased as heroes who died while they chose serve the country.

These were the words of the acting area commissioner at the Thohoyandou Correctional Cen-tre, Mr Kenneth Mthombeni, a fortnight ago when he unveiled a memorial in honour of the former correctional officers. The names

of the 48 officers who died in the line of duty appear on the memorial.

“We want to cement our rela-tionship with families, relatives and friends of the former Tho-hoyandou Correctional Centre officers. We need to salute these late officers with the message that serving for the department of correctional services matters,” said Mthombeni.

Ms Christina Nematondoni,

whose husband died while serv-ing at the centre, said the unveil-ing of the stone was a good effort by the department to recognise former officials.

“We wish for the depart-ment of correctional services to take care of children whose fathers and mothers died while working for the department and to supply them with bursaries to further their studies,” said Nematondoni.

Budget constraints hamper SAAF During the South African Air Force’s (SAAF) air-capability demonstration at the Rood-ewal bombing range last week, it became clear that the SAAF is going through some tough times.

The SAAF showcased its military capabilities last Thurs-day at the bombing range, which falls under the command of Air Force Base (AFB) Makhado. The SAAF is, just like the other three arms of the country’s de-fence service, under sever budg-etary pressure, which meant that the demonstration was downscaled greatly this year. The most noticeable display of air power that was missing was the Gripens from 2 Squadron.

Speaking at the event, the SAAF’s deputy chief, Ma-jor General Gerald Malinga, acknowledged that the downsizing of the event was due to severe budgetary constraints. Malinga said that the SAAF command had a difficult time in taking the decision not to take part in any air shows, SAAF exercises or fly-bys until there was more funding.

He added, however, that the SAAF would continue to deliver, whatever the task. “But it will be extremely challenging, especially in terms of funding.” The SAAF already an-nounced in March this year that 12 of South Africa’s 26 Gripens had been placed in long-term storage. In the place of the Grip-ens, 85 Combat Flying School’s Hawk fighter training planes were

used to fill in with bomb drops and cannon fire to support troops on the ground who were engaged in a simulated battle with the enemy “Charlie”.

Pathfinders, jumping 10 000 feet from an Oryx helicopter, had VIPs from the various South African and visiting defence forces, as well as the media, look on in wonder as they sailed over them, landing in the “war zone.” The Oryx helicopters, from 17 and 19 Squadrons, showed their ability to insert and extract troops, land a Gecko ground vehicle, as well as an 81mm mortar team. The 120mm mortars were not demonstrated either, also due to budgetary constraints. A pair of Rooivalk combat support helicopters from 16 Squadron also showcased their firepower. In addition to

a number of rocket volleys, the nose cannons provided effective air support for the troops mov-ing towards the enemy hiding in the bush and keeping them at bay. A welcome addition to the air capability demonstration was a large screen, showing images collected by the Airborne Re-connaissance Ground Observa-tion System (ARGOS) mounted on an orbiting 41 Squadron Cessna 208.

Questions put to AFB Ma-khado whether more of the Gripens, apart from the initial 12, had been placed in storage were not answered by the time of going to press.

Whether the demand is for outstanding School fees, Rent and levies, unpaid accounts, TV licenses, medical bills or any other amount, the collection of these amounts if done by any other person than the person to whom the amount is owed in all likelihood falls under the auspices of the Council for Debt Collectors The principles applicable as well as the exceptions to this general rule is set out below.

Once signed such a document may lead to a court order being obtained without further notice to the debtor.Who regulates the debt collector’s actions?The Council monitors the ac-tions of debt collectors ensuring that their actions comply with the code of conduct for debt collectors and further ensuring that they charge only those fees allowed by the Act.What fees may debt collectors charge?The fees are prescribed by law, which include a fee for letters, telephone calls and a collection commission.Fees generally not recoverable are bank charges, and travelling expenses.Typical fees at date of print and con-tained in Schedule B of the Regulations are for example:Necessary Letter R15-00Necessary Phone call R15-00Consultation with debtor\R37-00Other necessary expenses R15-00

A debt collector is not entitled to claim more than R736-00 in fees or the capital amount due whichever amount is the lesser.It then follows that on a debt of R100 the fees charged may never exceed R100.

A debt collector is also allowed 10% fee per instalment received in payment of a debt subject to a maximum of R368-00. Note: Collection commission agreed upon between the debt col-lector and the client cannot be recovered from a debtor.

What should I do if a debt collector contacts me?• Make sure he or she is regis tered.

Important points to remember• Attorneys and their employ ees do not fall under the juris diction of the Council for Debt Collectors and are therefore answerable only to the relevant law societies.• Micro lenders and others like furniture stores who collect their own debts need not register with the Council and therefore also fall outside the jurisdiction of the Council.• Although you are entitled to collect your own debts without being registered as a debt collector, you are not entitled to demand any fees while doing so.What to do if you have a complaint against a debt collector?• Debt collectors are regulated by the Council for Debt Collectors and must comply with various laws, regulations and the code of conduct while performing their duties.• If you have a complaint with regards to the fees you are being charged, have the account taxed by the clerk of the magistrate court.• All complaints must be in writing and under oath.• If you have a complaint against the actions or con duct of a debt collector or are unsure of your rights, contact:The Council for Debt CollectorsPO BOX 836 SilvertonPretoria 0127Tel: 012-8049808Fax: 012-8040744Email:[email protected] P O Box 836, Silverton, 0127Website: www.debtcol-council.co.za

Let´s forget about the past and look to the future. The community and police have pledged to work together in the fight against crime in Thohoyandou Block F. This was during a meeting held at Thohoyandou Technical High School on Sunday evening.

Unity the only solution to solve crimeMembers of the community of Thohoyandou Block F, which has been plagued by divisions between Blacks and Indians for a long time, came together and pledged to work together with the police in the fight against crime.

Stakeholders who gathered during a community meeting held on Sunday night at Thohoy-andou Technical High School all agreed that criminals could only be driven from the community if the community united.

Members of the SAPS also at-tended the event. It was organised after the spiralling of crime in the area, with Indians the most affected.

Indian community leader Mr Ayub Madina said they had tried everything in the fight against crime but found that they were not able to wipe out criminality totally in the community. “There is once more an upsurge in house robberies, where firearms are used. We felt that we should meet as a community with the police and map out strategies on how to stop that. We realised that we had all the resources to fight it, but one thing was missing - unity.”

He added that they were pre-pared to make funds available for programmes to be run by the local civic “as long as they make this area a better place to live in for all of us.”

Ms Priscilla Demana, the lo-cal civic's chairperson, said the meeting was a milestone in the history of Block F.

“This community has been divided for a long time. With-out unity, we will not achieve anything, and I just hope work-ing from what we have decided here as a community we will do more. We will be able to fight crime from a common ground,” she said.

The acting station commis-sioner of the Thohoyandou police station, Col Amos Mashaba, urged all to join the sector po-licing, saying it was one of the most effective ways of fighting crime.


Fixtures

Nobela to face Basel FC at MalamuleleThere is huge interest in the Safa second-division match between Nobela All Stars and Basel that will be staged at the Malamulele Stadium tomor-row afternoon.

Although it will be Stars’ home ground, it will not be easy for them to grab even a single point. Nobela need the points desperately as they are languishing at the bottom of the log. On the other hand, Basel will not show any sympathy for the Stars, as they still stand an outside chance of taking the league title to the Vhembe district.

Basel had reduced their assistant coach, Japhtha Mabosho, to a player, after they parted ways with their killer striker, Walter Ramulondi, four weeks ago. Mabosho was in the starting line-up in their match against Mighty FC at the Makwarela Sta-dium last Saturday.

The other Vhembe derby between Rospa United and Phungo All Stars will be staged at the Makhado Eltivillas grounds. Both Rospa United and Phungo All Stars are not yet safe when it comes relegation, and for that reason the fans must expect to watch a thriller.

The other matches are Mosesetjane All Stars vs Ray Pillars, Magezi vs Blue Rocks, Baroka vs The Dolphins, Winners Park vs Lephalale Young Killers, Modimolle Aces vs Baobab Zero Fake and Mighty vs Giyani Hotspurs.Basel’s striker, Japhta Mabosho.

Results

Consolation victory for pride of GiyaniThe battle for the NFD title entered another dimension on Sunday afternoon, when the log leaders, Mpumalanga Black Aces, suffered a shock 0-2 defeat to the bottom-of-the-log Dynamos at the Giyani Stadium.

Although Dynamos have al-ready been relegated to the Safa second division, they wanted to go down with something to be proud of. Tsepo Moloto and Meshack Mthimunye were on target for the Limpopo side, as

they secured their second victory of the season, ending a 17-match losing streak.

Mpumalanga Black Aces re-main at the top of the table with 47 points, one ahead of Thanda Royal Zulu. Dynamos are now two points behind the other rel-egation candidates, FC AK.

Thanda Royal Zulu moved to the second position on the log, following their 2-0 victory over Sivutsa Stars at the packed Richards Bay Stadium. In their Cape Town derby at the Grassy

Park Stadium, Santos kept their promotion hopes alive by play-ing to a 1-1 draw with Milano United. The other Cape Town derby between Vasco da Gama and FC Cape Town at the Parow Park Stadium ended in a 2-0 win for Vasco da Gama.

Witbank Spurs also kept their hopes of finishing in the top three alive with a 4-2 win over African Warriors. Polokwane City crushed Blackburn Rovers 3-0, while Roses United pipped United FC 1-0.


Man in court after death of girlfriendThe 27-year-old Themba Siko-sana appeared in court last Wednesday (8th) in connection with the death of a Grade 12 pupil from Maneledzi High School in Madombidzha. The 21-year-old Aluwani Phale’s body was found in a swimming pool at the Makhado Air force base last Tuesday.

Makhado police have con-firmed that they had arrested Aluwani’s boyfriend, Sikosana. According to the police, the two were allegedly together on the night of her death.

Members of the Madombidzha community welcomed the po-lice’s efforts to trace and arrest a suspect. They also said that they would support the family of Alu-wani and go to court whenever

the suspect appeared before the magistrate.

The deceased’s older brother, Mr Tommy Phale, said the kill-ing of his sister had left them shocked. “My sister was still young and her two children will grow up without a mother,” he said. “Our sister was killed in the most barbaric manner and we do not know what wrong she could have done. We know she will not return and we wish for the law to take its course,” he said.

According to Tommy, the family believes that his sister was killed and thrown into the swimming pool. She was found with a wound on her head.

The mayor of Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mu-tavhatsindi, visited the family last

Thursday. “It is very cruel and the incident really traumatised mem-bers of the community and the deceased’s family,” he said. He called upon all community-based structures to offer support to the family. The chairperson of the Munna Ndi Nnyi Men’s Forum, Mr Bardwell Mufunwaini, said whoever had killed the woman was not a real man. “Real men do not kill; they do not rape their women, but give comfort and security to them. Let us all shout out in one voice against the abuse and cruelty perpetrated against our womenfolk and this country will be a better place to live in,” he said.

Aluwani will be buried on Sat-urday at Madombidzha cemetery. The service will start at 06:00.

Hardworking Univen legal advisor buriedDr Nanga Lidovho, a legal advisor for the University of Venda, was buried in the Shayandima cemetery at the weekend.

Lidovho (51), died on 1 May in an accident while riding with fellow bikers at Shakadza in the Mutale area.

A memorial service was held at Univen where he worked at the time of his death and another one at his home. He was described as a good family man who always strived for unity. He was also applauded as a hard worker and distinguished scholar who always encouraged studying.

Some of the well-known peo-

ple who attended the funeral in-clude the present and a previous principals of Univen, Proff Peter Mbati and Gessler Nkondo, the mayor of Thulamela, Cllr Grace Mahosi, and Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela of the North Gauteng High Court.

More than 40 motor bikers from all over Limpopo and Mpumalanga also came to pay their last respects to their fallen friend. They led the procession from his home to the local Lu-theran Church, where the service was held, before heading for the cemetery.

Lidovho was an academic of repute, having attained many

qualifications, including a doc-torate. He also served on the boards of many organisations. He joined Univen 22 years ago as a lecturer in the School of Law.

He was appointed as deputy dean and head of department of Adjectival Criminal law and Clinical Legal Studies in the School of Law at the Univer-sity of Venda between 1994 and 1995. During the same period, he was appointed acting dean in the School of Law. He became the legal advisor for the vice-chancellor in 1995.

He is survived by his wife, his two children, his mother, three brothers and a sister.

Vhulada causes disorder in churchMembers of the Shirley Evan-gelical Presbyterian Church near Elim were rushed to the Waterval clinic for immediate medical attention after they complained about excessive itchiness two Sundays ago.

It was later noticed that a dangerous substance, more commonly known as vhulada or velvet bean, had been sprinkled on all pews and chairs, includ-ing the reverend’s velvet seat and pulpit.

“At least 11 congregants who were first to arrive at the church were tormented by the vhulada,” said Rev Motanti Mashangoane.

He explained that he still did not understand how a sane human being could think of sprinkling such a dangerous substance in a house of worship. “The devil has entered into the

Lord’s house to cause disorder,” Rev Motanti Mashangoane said.

He further explained that when he returned to the church with the Waterval police and a chemical expert, a long black mamba (snake) slithered out of the church’s open entrance right in front of him and disappeared into the wild grass.

The service was later moved from the home church to be held at another branch of the Evan-gelical Presbyterian Church at Waterval.

Mrs Eunice Mayimele, who was treated at the local clinic, explained that she entered the church as usual and occupied one of the chairs. “I started feeling terribly itchy from my bare legs upwards under my skirt, as if many hot pins were piercing my skin repeatedly,”

said Mayimele. The vhulada case is only one of many nega-tive cases which have been af-fecting the church. Vandalism and malicious damage to the church’s property have become prevalent. On 3 May, doors were broken yet again and the sliding gate was welded so it couldn’t close again. Some spiky irons, which could be very dangerous to both cars and humans, were welded onto the rail at the gate.

The Njhakajhaka Traditional Council has condemned the act and called it “sinful”. “This only shows disrespect towards the worshippers and the whole community,” said Njhakajhaka Traditional Council chairperson Mr Vicky Muvhali. “We will call a community mass meeting soon, where this issue will be addressed officially.”

Rev Motanti Mashangoane stands in front the troubled church at Shirley village.

Njhakanjhaka Traditional Authority’s chairperson, Mr Vicky Muvhali, tries to close the welded gate at the church.

Ofentse Nkanyamane and Megan Nalana of Gateway Primary were selected for the Vhembe netball team and will take part in further trials in Polokwane.

This year, the mountain bike race of the PPC Kremetart Cycling Race will be hosted in the form of a cross-country Olympic event.

But what is a cross country event?

Cross-country Olym-pic (XCO) is a popular mountain bike disci-pline which is the only form of mountain bik-ing that is an Olympic sport. XCO consists of lap racing around a short circuit containing vari-ous obstacles that must be negotiated. Apart from fitness, XCO also requires serious bike-handling skills.

T h i s y e a r , t h e Kremetart Mountain Bike XCO will be host-ed in the Komatieland Forestry area on 9 June, the day after the big 175km, four-stage road race.

Depending on all the age categories that enter, a total of 12 races will be held on the course.

The goal is to complete the required laps in the fastest time possible.

Pre-entries for the MTB XCO are currently open for those inter-ested and will close on 24 May.

There will also be time to enter before the race from 06:30 on the day of the race.

For more information readers can log on to www.kremetartcy-cling.co.za.

Mabaso to increase sponsorshipThe Baso Foundation will increase the sponsorship of the recent Baso Foundation school tournament, said Mr Masingita Mabaso, the man-ager of the organisation.

The prize-giving ceremony of the competition took place at Sundani last Wednesday.

Mabaso said that his aim in funding sport was to develop rural young people and keep the

youth busy in a productive way. He applauded the organisers for the way the competition was run. The former referee and sport coordinator, Mr Velly Mtileni, appealed to businesspeople to follow in the footsteps of the Baso Foundation. He added that sport had also become a major employment provider.

Davhana Secondary School were crowned as the new cham-

pions and they received R1 500, gold medals and a floating tro-phy. Tshimbupfe High were the runners-up and went home with R1 000 and silver medals.

Matodzi and Muthurwana ended in third and fourth posi-tion respectively. Hulisani Mu-luvhu of Davhana was named player of the tournament and Mpho Sotshaya from Davhana was the top goal scorer.

Photographed during the presentation are, from left to right, Messrs Masingita Mabaso (sponsor), Hulisani Muluvhu (captain of Davhana High), Aifheli Gabara and Velly Mtileni.

On 3 May, about 20 pupils from Eric Louw High School in Musina participated in the Road Safety Debate. The pupils got together after school with adjudicators from the traffic department, and after much fun and some rather tough debating, the adjudicators chose five pupils to move onto the next round. They are Kuldeep Jadeja, Tumelo Langa, Sakhile Sibanda, Prudence Nemhulu and Diney Fielding (all Grade 10 and 11 pupils). Pictured are some of the pupils who participated in the debate.

Last opportunity for Black LeopardsThe future of Black Leopards as an affiliate of the Absa Premiership division of the Premier Soccer League will be determined tomorrow af-ternoon.

Leopards, the only Limpopo side in the country’s elite league, will travel to the Free State to wrap up their league activities for the current soccer season. Their final league match against Free State Stars will be staged at the Goble Park Stadium.

A win against Free State Stars will not be enough for Lidoda Duvha to escape outright rel-egation if the other relegation candidates, Chippa United, win

their match against Amazulu. Leopards’ last hope is to finish in the second-last position and qualify for the platinum promo-tional playoffs, something which looks far beyond the reach of the domestic lads.

In the other Absa Premier-ship matches that will also be played tomorrow afternoon, University of Pretoria will host Kaizer Chiefs at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. Chiefs have already been declared the league champions.

Orlando Pirates will take on Maritzburg United at the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg and Bidvest Wits are geared to give

Mamelodi Sundowns a run for their money when they meet at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.

Ajax Cape Town must at least play to a draw against Lamontville Golden Arrows in order to be on the safe side when it comes to relegation. They will meet at the Cape Town Stadium.

Amazulu will entertain Chip-pa United at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. Platinum Stars will host Supersport United, while the match between Moroka Swallows and Bloemfontein Celtic will be played at the Dob-sonville Stadium.

Phaphazela Real Hexagon wallop Bayern Munich 4-0Phaphazela Real Hexagon showed no mercy when they beat their neighbours, Phaphazela Bayern Munich, 4-0 in their PIB MTG and Black Leopards KO match at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday.

Hexagon were by far the better side when it came to ball possession. They invaded their opponents’ territory from the fi rst whistle, making it diffi cult for the Bayern midfi elders to complete their passes. Martin Ndobe was brought down within the box fi ve minutes into the game and it was a clear penalty for Hexagon. Mandla Macebele made no mistake from

the penalty spot.Bayern Munich lost cohesion in the

middle of the park soon after this open-ing goal. Real Hexagon then fortified their midfi eld by introducing Tiyiselani Manganyi for Thabo Mathye. Manganyi formed a deadly combination with An-drew Mahlauli and Oral Sithole in the central defence.

In the 28th minute, Real Hexagon increased the margin through Tiyiselani Manganyi. His ground cutter hit the wood-work and crossed the goal line. Bayern replaced Sydwell Hlamulo with Dennis Matimba nine minutes before the end

of the fi rst half. That did not stop Real Hexagon from scoring their third before the teams adjourned for half time, when Vicky Mukhulwana scored with a long-range volley.

Real Hexagon continued to dictate terms, with Bayern Munich playing de-fensive football. Bongani Mabasa scored the fourth goal, following a neat pass from Martin Chauke in the 67th minute. Bayern Munich played the last 10 minutes of the game with 10 men. Their centre forward, Lulamani Chauke, was dismissed, fol-lowing a dangerous tackle on Tiyiselani Manganyi.

Dennis Matimba of Bayern Munich (front) and Oral Sithole of Real Hexagon chase the outgoing ball.

Notice

Watch where you park your car

Aces demolish Young Stars

The Makhado Police have once again raised the alarm with regard to the recent spate of thefts out of motor vehicles.

They called upon members of the public to ensure that they park their vehicles in a safe environment at all times and especially if they go shopping.

The police also warned residents not to leave any valuable items inside their vehicles and to make

sure that they always lock all doors before leaving their car. According to the Makhado SAPS, items such as handbags, cellphones and large amounts of cash have been reported stolen to them.

Residents are particularly cau-tioned not to park their vehicles along Songozwi Street, the parking areas in big shopping complexes and the taxi rank, because “this is where a number of illegal activities take place.”

Emmanuel Muthanyi of Young Stars and Talifhani Manyaga of Junior Aces (right) fight to win the ball.

Rofhiwa Mudau of Junior Aces and Kulani Hlungwani of Young Stars (left) fight to win the ball.

Tshambobvu Junior Aces booked a place in the quarterfinals of the PIB MTG and Black Leopards KO Competition by beating Tshivhu-lani Young Stars 5-1 at the Mak-warela Stadium on Sunday.

Junior Aces took the game to their opponents from the first whistle. It took them only four minutes to stamp their authority on the game. Their speedy forward, Elekanyani Thavhe-ni, was on target, following a square pass by Thembuluwo Manyaga.

Young Stars gained momentum as the game progressed. Their solitary goal came in the 18th minute. Em-manuel Muthanyi headed home, following a corner kick from Rinae Mawelewele.

Aces took the lead again in the 37th minute. Talifhani Manyaga found the net with a header after a rebound. Elekanyani Thavheni tried his luck from outside the box. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into play, from where Manyaga easily headed home.Rinae Mawelewele of Young

Stars was the first player to go into the referee’s book. He tackled Lugisani Ramulongo of Aces from behind and was lucky not to see red.

Junior Aces increased the tally six minutes into the last half. Elekanyani Thavheni completed his brace after beating the offside trap. Young Stars lost hope after they were reduced to 10 men in the 64th minute. Emmanuel Muthanyi was given his marching orders, following a second bookable offence. He tackled Rofhiwa Mudau from behind.

Talifhani Manyaga scored the fourth for Junior Aces with a long-range volley in the 75th minute. Rabelani Ndou of Junior Aces was also sent off, following an off-the-ball tackle on Emmanuel Tshifura. Ndou could not hold back his tears when the referee showed him red. He started crying uncontrollably on his way out.

Thembuluwo Manyaga forced his way through the defence of Stars and scored the fifth later in the game.

Rabelani Ndou of Junior Aces leaves the pitch in tears after seeing red.

Mutuwa Brazilians knock Gondeni out of PIB MTG competitionGondeni will not take part in the next stage of the PIB MTG and Black Leopards KO competition. They were booted out of the pres-tigious competition by Mutuwa Brazilians, who beat them 2-1 at the Makwarela Stadium on Sunday.

Mpho Maligana of Gondeni was booked for a late tackle on Takad-zani Netshilema in the ninth minute. Adivhaho Makhesha of Gondeni was lucky to escape with yellow three

minutes later. He handled the ball intentionally in

full view of the assistant referee. After a short discussion with his assist-ant, the referee took a controversial decision by flashing yellow, when everyone thought he would dismiss the player.

Brazilians squandered numerous scoring chances in the opening min-utes, until Gondeni got their footing in the 29th minute. The only goal

for Gondeni was scored by Mpho Maligana.

He beat the keeper with a header, following a corner kick that was taken by Rudzani Mukwena. The Brazilians retaliated in the 38th minute. Takad-zani Netshilema beat three defenders in a row, before showing the keeper the wrong way to bring the half time score to 1-1.

The Brazilians continued to waste more chances in the last half. Their

left flank, Rendani Nepfumbada, missed a fortune in the 67th minute. He unleashed aimlessly from the edge of the box. The ball hit the crossbar and landed outside the field of play.

Tshengelo Tuwani scored the Brazilians’ long-awaited goal with a header. Gondeni lost hope when their overlapping defender, Mpho Mali-gana, saw red, following an off-the-ball infringement against Ndivhuwo Mukwevho.

Chelsea surprise Oscar StarsTshikota Chelsea narrowly beat Makhitha Oscar Stars 1-0 in their Safa Vhembe SAB league match at the Makhado show grounds on Saturday.

Stars was good at the far back, but their midfielders hesitated for too long and did not release the ball on time. Their sloppy performance put the defence under tremendous pressure.

The boys from Tshikota initiated some promising moves from the centre of the pitch but were denied a number of scoring opportunities by the rock-solid defence of their opponents.

Players who went to the referee’s book for different infrigments were

John Marindi of Stars and Walter Murwanthi of Chelsea. The score was still nil-nil at halftime, after sev-eral promising moves were stopped by good defence.

The second half saw Chelsea pressing hard in search for a goal. Realizing that their chances were slim, Stars abandoned their posi-tions and packed themselves at the far back. Stars lost shape in the midfield; Chelsea capitalised and scored in the 69th minute. Seani Mukhithi forced his way through the defence and released a rocket from outside the box.

Keeper Simon Nthulane watched in disbelief when the ball hit the back of the net. Skhakha Makgopo of Stars dribbles towards the penalty area.

Basel too good for Mighty FCBasel FC beat Mighty FC 3-1 in their Safa second division match at the Makwarela Stadium on Saturday.

The score was not a true reflection of the game, as Basel wasted more than half a dozen scoring chances during the first 45 minutes.

Their dribbling wizard, Lamola Mokeketwa, was the first player to cause an upset. In the 14th minute, he received a pre-cooked pass from Velile Mdaka and hit the upright from inside the box.

Mdaka could not believe his eyes when his ground cutter went a little wide two minutes later.

Basel’s vastly experienced striker, Japhta Mabosho, could not live up to his reputation as a scoring machine as he was tightly marked.

Realising that the home side was not willing to score, Mighty re-grouped from behind and started to create dangerous moves as they in-vaded their opponents’ danger area.

Mighty were the first to find the net. Solomon Maake hooked the ball in, following a scramble within the box in the 29th minute. The goal was a wake-up call to the home side. They responded six minutes later. Lebohang Sithole beat the offside trap and scored to bring the half time score to 1-1.

Basel introduced Gift Ramaxwaila for Japhta Mabosho. Velile Mdaka scored the second for Basel after beating a number of defenders in a row. Their third goal was scored by Shonisani Rambebu, who came on as a substitute for Lucky Mkhari.Velile Mdaka of Basel (left) and Freddy Kekana of Mighty chase the ball.

Is this the end of the line for Lidoda Duvha?Black Leopard’s chances of staying in the Premier league have virtually disap-peared, following Wednesday night’s 1-4 defeat against Orlando Pirates. With one game to go, it seems almost inevitable that the team will end stone last on the league log.

During Wednesday’s match, played at Orlando Stadium, Black Leopards were the first to score. Their killer striker, Rodney Ramagalela, was on target in the 4th minute following a neat pass by Tiyani Mabunda.

The goal served as a wake-up call to the Pirates strikers, who refused to see

Lidoda duvha dictate terms to them. They retaliated four minutes later when Tlou Segolela beat the Leopards keeper, Azwinndini Maphaha, with a clinical close range strike.

What followed thereafter was one-way traffic with Leopards chasing the action. It took Orlando Pirates another ten minutes to increase the tally. This time Ndumiso Mabena found the net with a ground cutter which followed Khethowakhe Masuku’s square pass.

The referee reprimanded Mxolisi Gumede of Leopards with a card in the 24th minute. He committed a rough tackle

on Ndumiso Madena at the edge of the box. Ndumiso Mabena completed his brace in the 34th minute.

As if they were spectators, the Leopards defenders just watched as Happy Jele penetrated the defence before dishing a beautiful pass to Mabena, who gave the ball a final touch to bring the half time score to 3-1.

Thulani Ntshingila of Leopards ob-structed Tlou Segolela in the 60th minute and he was booked for that.

Oupa Manyisa scored the fourth goal in the 69th minute after receiving a heel pass from Ndumiso Mabena.
