LEPHALALE – While the national electric-ity grid is under severe pressure, local busi-nesses are also struggling to survive due to the continued strike at the Medupi power station site.

Nguni Grill restaurant owner, Ettiene Vic-tor, says that he has seen a drop in custom-ers frequenting his restaurant:

“Many of my regular clients have been transferred or moved because of the strike,” he says.

He adds that some of his clients are scared to go out at night. “I find that there are clients who feel unsafe because of the uncertainty of the strike and they prefer to stay at home.”

MOKOPANE – A tense atmosphere pre-vailed at the Mokopane Magistrate Court last Friday when two suspects, believed to be hired assassins in the Gideon Fatana murder case, appeared in court for the first time. The case was postponed and the men are expected to appear again in court on today (15 May).

Charles Mogale (46) and his co-accused, Thabo Matlaila (30), could face life in jail, should they be found guilty for the alleged assassination of Gideon Fatana who was shot and killed in cold blood at his home in

Strike harms local businessthe strike, but warns that businesses should get used to having less clients: “When Me-dupi's construction is complete, there will be far less people in this town,” she says, “we should keep in mind that the last few years' growth rate is not sustainable.”

Medupi’s workforce has already shrunk from 21 000 to 14 000 since 2013.

Many of the demobilised employees are still living in the hostels and they are now demanding that they should be absorbed into companies and foreigners should be removed. These demobilised workers are ap-parently blamed for causing the strike.

Pierre Malherbe, owner of One Stop, says he lost about 50% of his sales as the strike continues. “I cater for guest houses and restaurants who are severely affected by the strike.”

“In retail we rely on the amount of people

who are interested in buying our products and when there are no buyers we have no business.”

Malherbe adds that it is difficult to de-termine how much stock is needed due to the uncertainty that is essentially part of the strike. “At this stage, I am not sure whether I should stock up on certain items or not.”

Eskom’s spokesperson, Khulu Phasiwe, told the media that there are many foreign-ers who are working on the Medupi site who are primarily responsible for specialised jobs that can’t be done by local tradesmen. These workers have been providing the town with a steady cash flow for local goods.

Meanwhile Numsa chairperson, Andrew Chirwa, stated on Monday that the eviction order for striking workers and demobilised workers was not granted and that they will continue to fight it in court.

March. Fatana is the second victim of what is believed to be an assassination.

Fatana was killed in front of his home at the end of March and two weeks later Charles Mgidi, a driving school owner, was shot after an argument with several armed men at a garage in Mokopane. Three men have been arrested for the murder of Mgidi. They are Samuel Matjila (owner of a fleet of taxi’s and chairperson of Mahwelereng Taxi Amalgamated), Patric Sekhu and Desmond Mashabane. They have been denied bail and is currently in police custody.

Both suspects in Fatana's case remained in custody and asked to be legally assisted.

Two arrested for Fatana's murder

Gideon Fatana was shot and killed in front of his home in Mokopane earlier this year.

LEPHALALE – Johanko Barnard het hierdie week sy laaste operasie ondergaan. Johanko is in Desember verlede jaar beseer nadat ‘n petrolpyp van die minibus waaraan hy en ‘n vriend gewerk het aan die brand geslaan het. Hy het erge brandwonde oor sy gesig en lyf opgedoen in die ongeluk en was sedertdien verskeie male in die hospitaal vir rekonstruk-tiewe operasies. Volgens Johanko se ma, Katryn Barnard, gaan dit baie goed met hom. Johanko sal na verwagting nog ‘n week in die hospitaal spandeer voor hy ontslaan sal word.

LEPHALALE - Residents are furious about the noise levels caused by guest houses and a local church in a previously quiet part of town.

“I am fed up with the municipality and the police,” one resident said, “I can’t have a normal conversation in my house because of the ruckus.”

According to this resident, who lives near the By Fire by Force church in Nelson Man-dela drive, she has complained to the mu-nicipality, the local police and the church but still the noise continues. “I can understand that people are worshipping but they should respect other people living in the area.”

Another resident had the same complaint but in her case it is about a guest house right next door to her. “Since the strike started things have been getting out of hand,” she said, “and contacting the owners of the guesthouse doesn't help as they are making money from these people.”

According to the Environment Conserva-tion Act 73 of 1989 no person is allowed to make, produce or cause a disturbing noise to be made, or allow it to be made by any per-son, animal, machine, device or apparatus or any combination thereof. Section 18 of the Act state that anybody in contravention of this Act shall be guilty of an offence and liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding R20 000 or to imprisonment for a period not

exceeding two years, or to both. Section 20 clearly stipulates that all local authorities shall apply these regulations.

Lephalale Municipality says they are aware of the complaints regarding the tented church and have met on several occasions with the church leadership and members of the community. They have set mitigating measures in place, restricting the hours that church members are allowed to congregate. There are some delays in the construction of the church. According to municipal regula-tions, the completed structure will have to be sound-proofed. The municipality believes that there will be a significant reduction in noise once the building is completed.

The situation is monitored by the plan-ning and development division and during a meeting with the leadership of the church last week, the building inspector was in-formed that the church should be completed by October.

According to W/O Frans Mokoena, Lepha-lale SAPS’ spokesperson, they will go out to investigate any complaint of extreme noise. “The problem is that most of the times when we arrive at the premises in question we can-not find a complainant,” Mokoena said.

For the police to open a case docket, somebody has to formally lodge a complaint in writing in the form of a statement.

At the time of going to print the By Fire By Force church had not responded to enquiries.

LEPHALALE – 'n 16-jarige seun se sleutelbeen is ge-breek nadat hy in 'n motorfietsonge-luk betrokke was in Onverwacht verlede Woens-dag.

Carel Boshoff het op sy motor-fiets gery in Palala straat toe hy by 'n oranje Land Rover probeer verbygaan. Die Land Rover se bestuurder het glo skielik afgedraai en Carel het agter in die Land Rover vasgery.

Volgens Carel se ma, Nellie Boshoff, is hy tans in die Meulmed hospitaal in Pretoria en het hy verskeie skraapwonde, 'n gebreekte sleutelbeen en gekraakte gewrig.

Hy is Woensdagmiddag geopereer en sal hopenlik binnekort huis toe kom.

Die Boshoff's het motoriste gemaan om versigtig te ry en bewus te wees van motorfi-etsryers en fietsryers op die pad.

LEPHALALE – A woman’s alleged plans to kill her stepfather was ruined this weekend due to good police work and assistance by the community.

A 34-year-old woman travelled to Lep-halale from Kwazulu-Natal to visit her step-father residing here. Her real motives were revealed when an informer phoned the police to inform them that she allegedly had plans to kill her stepfather.

According to W/O Frans Mokoena, the

MARKEN - 'n Munisipale vullisvragmotor wat van sy vrag verloor het, het opskudding veroorsaak dié week.

'n Inwoner wat agter die vragmotor gery het op die Markenpad net buite Lephalale was erg ontsteld toe hy gesien het hoe vul-lis van die bak afval. "Ek het die vragmotor gestop om die bestuurder te laat weet dat die vullis die hele pad vol lê," sê die inwoner. "Die bestuurder en sy medewerker het dood-luiters uitgeklim en die gemors in die veld in begin skop."

Die munisipale werkers het die gemors net daar gelos en verder gery ten spyte van die inwoner se besware.

By navraag het die Lephalale munisi-paliteit bevestig dat hulle bewus is van die insident en dat daar reeds 'n span uitgestuur is om die gemors te gaan skoonmaak. Hulle het ook gesê dat stappe teen die betrokke werkers geneem sal word.

MOKOPANE - The Mogalakwena Municipality’s failure to comply to certain compaction densities at the landfill site has resulted in a smoldering affair.

Northern News visited the landfill site on Tuesday after receiving reports that it had ignighted and was smoldering. It seemed as if attempts have been made to smother the fire.

Further research found that environmental legislation states that “if landfilling is not carried out to sufficient high standards, landfilling has the potential to have an adverse impact on the environment and may have a short- and long term effect”. “This is especially concerning and poses a risk to the public’ health,” a land and livestock owner close to the site said.

Workers at the site and ward councilor, Marcelle Maritz, confirmed that fires do tend to break out from time to time and that it is sometimes difficult to get it under control.

The Mogalakwena municipality responded by stating that it is aware of the situation and that control measures are in place to suppress the burning (short- and long-term). They urged counsilors to follow proper communication channels in addressing issues affecting the municipality and consulting rel-evant officials to assist in addressing community concerns.

AfriForum het ingevolge die Wet op die Bevordering van Toegang tot Inligting ’n formele versoek aan die nasionale polisiekommissaris, Riah Phiyega, gerig om plaasmoordstatistieke van 1990 tot 2015 aan die organisasie te oorhandig.

Dit volg nadat die regering in 2007 gesê het dat geen verdere statistieke oor plaas-moorde ingesamel sal word nie. Phiyega het egter in Maart vanjaar verklaar dat die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) eintlik nog al die jare daarmee besig is en beweer dat die syfers om “operasionele redes” steeds bygehou word. Phiyega het dan ook syfers bekendgemaak, wat volgens AfriForum se

AfriForum wil toegang tot plaasmoordsyfers hêdata (ingesamel in samewerking met die landbou-unie, TLU SA) duidelik foutief is.

AfriForum het onder meer die volgende inligting van die polisiekommissaris aan-gevra:

Jaarlikse statistieke vir plaasmoorde en -aanvalle vanaf 1990 tot April 2015. Jaar-likse provinsiale statistieke vir plaasmoorde en -aanvalle vanaf 1990 tot April 2015. Jaarlikse statistieke vir plaasmoorde en -aan-valle, ingedeel volgens streke vanaf 1990 tot April 2015. Plaaslike polisiestasies se statistieke vir plaasmoorde en -aanvalle vanaf 1990 tot April 2015.

Volgens AfriForum en TLU SA se rekords

is daar tot en met die datum waarop Phi-yega die inligting bekend gemaak het, ten minste 316 verifieerbare plaasmoorde in die afgelope vyf jaar gepleeg. Phiyega het beweer dat daar volgens die SAPD slegs 271 plaasmoorde plaasgevind het.

“Die publiek was vir lank genoeg in die donker gehou. Die polisiekommissaris se bewering in Maart dat plaasmoorde oor die afgelope vyf jaar afgeneem het, word sterk bevraagteken, aangesien daar meer veri-fieerbare name van plaasmoordslagoffers op ons lys is as die somtotaal wat deur Phi-yega bekend gemaak is,” sê Ernst Roets, adjunk uitvoerende hoof van AfriForum.

Police thwarts murder plansLephalale police spokesperson, they acted swiftly and found the firearm that would've allegedly been used for the murder on the suspect's person.

Two male suspects, who formed part of the alleged plans are still at large.

The woman is expected to appear in the Lephalale Magistrate’s Court on Thursday on charges of conspiracy to commit murder.
