Department clampdown on
illegal sand mining
FUNERAL: ANC Phalaborwa Sub-Regional Deputy Secretary Aubrey Ngobeni calling upon arrogant Chiefs to
listen to their communiƟes as the Freedom Charter says the people shall given not individuals.
Speakers lambast arrogant
Chiefs at funeral
Speaker after speaker lambasted the role
played by Majeje Tribal Authority’s Chief
Mlungisi Ntsanwisi and the South Africa Police
Services on the untimely and brutal death of
Peter Maluleke during his funeral service at
Benfarm Newcastle ground on Saturday.
The ANC Phalaborwa Sub-Regional Deputy
Secretary, Aubrey Ngobeni, said the ANC is
deeply dismayed by Maluleke’s brutal death and
whoever is responsible for his death must face
the full might of the law.
“Your problems with your Chief are also a
similar problem faced by other communities
in our area and some of us have been called
all sorts of names when we called on our Chief
to listen to the plight of his community. The
land belongs to the people and not the Chief
hence the Community Property Association as a
custodian of the people,” he explained.
Ngobeni went on to say Chief Ntsanwisi must
respect the community and engage with Majeje
Community Development Trust to end the
current chaotic environment.
“The Freedom Charter says the people shall
govern and not individuals. There is no Chief
without the community,” noted Ngobeni.
He added that Maluleke’s death should be
a wakeup call to the Chief to go back to the
community and resolve all the outstanding
matters.
“You must be motivated by Peter’s death to
soldier on and never surrender. We are currently
engaging the ANC in the highest office to assist
us with regard to the Steel Plant to be installed
here enabling our children and their offspring’s
to work at Palabora Copper,” he said.
Ngobeni says gone are the days of Palabora
Copper giving businesses opportunities to other
people ahead of locals.
“How do you explain giving a tender to supply
toilet papers in the mine to one individual and
consistently so from other provinces? Is the
company saying that our people don’t have
capacity to supply such services? We need PC
to drive a developmental agenda in partnership
with our communities and stop this thing of
nepotism and capitalist tendency,” he explained.
Ngobeni lambasted the EFF for their dismal
failure in trying to hijack the public unrests.
Majeje Committee Chairperson Lybon
Mongwe, Majeje Community Development Trust
Chairperson Intiso Maluleke, SACP Lawrence
Phokanoka Regional Executive Committee
member, Naomi Nziane and SANCO provincial
member Richard Nkuna lambasted the police’s
conduct regarding Maluleke’s death.
The Independent Police Investigative
Directorate (IPID) has preliminary dropped
the case it was pursuing on allegations of police
officers having assaulted Maluleke before
detaining him at the Lulekani Police Station 27
July.
Both Lulekani and Namakgale Police Stations
spokespersons Constables Nkhensani Mabasa
and Dineo Sekgotodi disputed claims that
Maluleke was assaulted by police officers before
he was arrested.
“Those are false accusations and we don’t
know the motive behind them. The deceased
was detained without injuries in the cells and
the police found him dead. All inmates are taken
to the clinic unless referred to the hospital by
the health centre. Ambulances are called in
case police vehicles won’t carry a person who is
critical,” noted Mabasa.
Mabasa added that if the patient was critical
in this case he could have been referred to the
hospital.
“IPID has already visited the scene and
handed in the case to the station since there is
no evidence that police were involved in this.
Three inmate’s suspects already appeared
in court last week Wednesday on charges of
murder,” said Mabasa.
Maluleke died on 28 July following injuries
he sustained in police custody. He was born
35 years ago at Sedan under Chief Mhlaba,
completed his primary school there and high
school at Majeje and used to work at Five
Special Force in Phalaborwa before opening his
business as a panel-beater, the job he was still
doing before his untimely death.
He leaves behind two children, a wife and
three siblings.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) oversight
uncovered illegal sand mining along the
Karongwe River in Maruleng last week.
According to the DA Constituency Head
in the area, Lindy Wilson,
illegal miners were caught in the act
when the Department of Water Affairs
officials were deployed to investigate.
“The river falls within the Kruger to
Canyon Biosphere, a recognized Unesco
protected area.
This act of the DA uncovering illegal
activity led to the department of water
affairs swoop on the area,” said Wilson.
She said although the suspects fled into
the bushveld surrounding the area,
they abandoned their vehicles which
allowed them to be identified and the
vehicle owners have been charged with
illegal mining.
“We are grateful for the swift reaction
and for addressing this situation by the
department after the DA tip-off.
They have given us their assurance that
they will continue with regular patrols of
the river system in the area, and will also
investigate claims that similar illegal acts
are taking place on the Selati River and
systems around Phalaborwa,” she said.
She added that the Protection of Water
and Environmental systems are important
in the protection of wildlife, ecological
balances and prevention of water
contamination,that many communities
have to rely on.
Crime wave hit Tzaneen
A violent crime wave hit Tzaneen on
Saturday night when two people were
murdered and a taxi was hi-jacked by
armed robbers.
Northern Security first responded
to a complaint of a person lying in the
road in Kew Street.
A witness confirmed three suspects
earlier chased the victim.
Hlulani Mkansi (25), was found on
the tar road with an open wound to his
chest as well as in his left leg.
The victim was shot above the ankle
and stabbed in the chest piercing his
heart which was the cause of death.
SAPS also confirmed another
murder.
Mashatole Martin Modika,
aged 22, was stabbed and died of his
wounds in the Van Velden hospital.
Investigations showed that he was
stabbed at the Motupa Taxi rank in
Tzaneen.
Earleir rumours that he was stabbed
at the show grounds were refuted by
local police.
Two suspects were arrested and a
knife was confiscated.
A taxi was hi-jacked at Gateway
garage in the old industrial area.
According to information three or
four suspects armed with knives forced
the driver to get out and took the
vehicle,
with his girlfriend and child still
inside.
The taxi was later found in Dan
Village and one suspect was arrested.
Warning to all schools
The Department of Education is
warning all the schools’ principals,
teachers and management teams to be
alert of the criminals who are targeting
schools to rob them of cash. This came to
the attention of the department through
principals who indicated they received
calls from these criminals.
One of the recipients of such calls was
told that his school is in line to receive
furnisher and laptops from one of the
sister departments at a cost of R38 460.
A caller, certain Mr Dlamini indicated
to the principal that the school does not
pay for the material but has to pay R4 230
for insurance.
“This Dlamini said the money has to be
deposited to account number 9271229060
“And this must be done before 12:00 it
is urgent,” said the spokesperson for the
Department of Education, Dr Naledzani
Rasila.
He said, fortunate enough, the principal
called the department only to find that
there has never been such arrangement
between the Office of The Premier,
the Department of Education and any
third party.
The department will be delivering
furniture to schools starting from the end
of next month and the process will never
need a “middle man”.
The department is therefore requesting
all the principals to contact relevant
authorities at all the times should they
receive these types of calls.

Mabe calls on mines to
works with communities
Pule Mabe calls on mines to work with
communities to drive a developmental
agenda
The African National Congress National
Executive Committee member Pule Mabe
called on mines to commit to a more
sustainable developmental agenda working
with local communities.
Mabe was speaking at Phosphate Hall in
Namakgale on Sunday at a feedback mini
rally convened by the ANC Phalaborwa
Sub-Region of Mopane Region in Limpopo
Province together with the Ba-Phalaborwa
Community Forum following a week long
community protest and public unrests that
brought the Phalaborwa town to a stand-still.
The protest was prompted by an array
of allegations including a potential retreat
on the installation of a steel plant at
Palabora Copper led by the Hebei Iron and
Steel Group of China and the Industrial
Development Corporation of South Africa.
The rising agitation amongst community
members has been fuelled by the believe that
the possible redirecting of the installation
of a steel plant project to another province
would possibly stall the creation of over
6000 jobs.
“The time is now for the local mines to
work with communities in finding solutions
to recurring challenges. When we stand
together there is nothing impossible. We
need one another to realize the call made
by the Freedom Charter of placing the
ownership of the mineral wealth beneath
the soil into the hands of the people” says an
energetic Mabe.
Mabe further said the issuing of mining
licenses - Government should include
compelling requirements committing mining
houses to implement clear, practical as well
as measurable developmental programs.
“ It can no longer be business as usual
or another Public Relations exercise,
local mines must submit to both the
transformative and empowerment agenda,
the mines must also prioritize stakeholder
relations to keep communities informed
about immediate and future expansion as
well as development plans as misinformation
can at times contribute to Unrests and
protests,” remarked Mabe.
He added that mines ought to create relive
amongst the local communities whom at
times feel undermined when they are kept
in the dark about development and available
opportunities at the local mines’
Mabe who grew up in Phalaborwa and
today serve as the youngest member of the
ANC highest decision making body - NEC
and as a member of parliament, shared a
personal experience about the mines “My
own grandmother used to work at PMC and
while growing up I just knew that she was
an operator, but I later learned that she was
ironing clothes for Mines Bosses -I had this
daunting task of massaging her body every
afternoon when she came back from work.
Her body was taking more than it could, but
when she went for retirement and having
been loyal to the mine for 25 years she got a
cheap Citizen Watch engraved with her name
underneath ‘Sophie Skeli Mabe together with
an opportunity to pose for a picture with
the mine bosses which would appear in the
in house Magazine Palaminer as a token of
appreciation’ said a concerned Mabe.
Mabe added that Nelson Mandela was
ready to sacrifice his life ‘When the people
rise on legitimate concerns they must be
given an ear in that way solutions are found
and the Phalaborwa town moves forward’
“We need to work together in a focused
manner and never sell-out on principles that
bring our communities together - when you a
leader of a Union you must put people first at
all times” noted Mabe calling on Union and
Community leaders to work together for the
good of the
“As a leader of society the ANC must
always be in the forefront of championing
people’s interests - we must applaud the
MEC of Economic Development Seaparo
Sekoati together with the Government of
the people of Limpopo including all our
Mass Democratic Movement structures for
acting swiftly to return what was becoming a
volatile situation into
Mabe called on ANC structures to work
together in leading and championing the
interest of local communities to boast public
moral and restore the confidence of the
people.
An overarching community declaration
is expected to be concluded as a matter
of urgency and around September it will
be consolidated as a stakeholder wide
contribution towards governing.
Land claimants need no
lawyer to lodge claims
PROSPECTIVE claimants for the restoration
of land rights need no lawyer to lodge claims
with Commission on Restitution of Land
Rights.
According to the Chief Land Claims
Commissioner, Nomfundo Gobodo, the
Claimants must personally come to the office
to lodge claims with a green barcoded ID
book or Smart card.
“A claimant sits in front of a data capturer
who enters the entire claimant’s personal
information and thereafter the computer
automatically generates an acknowledgement
letter with a unique reference number
and the claimant must personally sign the
acknowledgement letter or put his or her
thumbprint if he or she cannot write,” said
Gobodo.
Gobodo said only a member of a
dispossessed community can lodge a claim
on behalf of the community or a family
and must be mandated by the community
through a resolution accompanied by an
attendance register.
“In line with the new electronic lodgement
system, claimants have to physically visit
the lodgement site with their supporting
documents, to lodge a claim.
Therefore legal representatives cannot
lodge a claim on behalf of the community”,
says Gobodo.
She said since the reopening of the
lodgement of land claims process in July
2014 to accommodates those who did not
submit restitution claims before the 1998
cut-off date, reports have been received
indicating that some claimants are seeking
the services of legal representatives to lodge
claims on their behalf.
She further said the Mobile Bus
Lodgement Office has been dispatched to far
flung areas of the province to enable every
qualifying citizen an opportunity to lodge
claims. “Prospective claimants from far-flung
areas are paying heavily for transport to the
lodgment site in Polokwane, the Commission
wishes to inform potential claimants that
the mobile lodgment bus is available their
respective areas starting from August 2015,”
said Gobodo.
She added that the Department of Rural
Development and Land Reform is prepared
to deal with all new claims including the
fast tracking of the existing claims that were
lodged during the initial re-opening period.
“Lodging a land claim is a free government
service and charging anyone for such a
service is a criminal offence,” she said.
Information on the schedule for mobile
offices for lodgement of claims, criteria for
qualification, and a copy of the manual, is
available from the Department of Rural
Development and Land Reform’s website:
www.ruraldevelopment.gov.za or toll free
number: 0800 007 095. The information
can also be obtained by sending a message to

WE LOVE HOSPITALITY: Capricorn College
for TVET staff members in the hospitality
department with some of their students.
SPEAKER: Hospitality students of Capricorn
College for TVET embarked on a two-day trip as
part of their prac cals. Mamsie Sebola, former
lecture at the college was the guest speaker.
Students embark on an
educational trip
Councillor appointed
as MDM Mpac Rep
Sebola was the guest speaker for the day. She
encouraged the students to be passionate
in all they do. “Love your career, be a team
player, pride yourself for having chosen
hospitality and most of all be passionate,”
she said. Some students were given a chance
to give feedback on their experience.
The Democratic Alliance’s Ba-Phalaborwa
Municipal Proportional Representative
Councillor Michael Mathebula has been
appointed as the new Mopani District
Municipality’s MPAC member.
Mathebula was recommended to the
position by the DA Phalaborwa caucus
team led by executive committee member
councillor S R de Beer supported by the
African National Congress.
During council sitting on 30 July, Speaker
David Maake said the DA in council has
proved to be a civil party engaging with high
level of discipline hence the ANC saw it fit
to support the nomination of Councillor
Mathebula and eventually passing his name
unopposed.
Mathebula will replace former DA PR
councillor Gareth Flemming who joined the
ANC in February, but recently resigned in
council also affecting his position within the
district.
“I am thrilled for the trust shown towards
me by our DA caucus leader in Phalaborwa
and also our provincial leader Jacque Smalle
having groomed and mentored me to be
where I am today.
I am going to use my four years experience
as a BPM technical committee member
to integrate MDM IDP with that of BPM,”
explained Mathebula.
He added that implementation, monitoring
and providing feedback will be vital for his
course as he moves along ensuring that there
is water for Matiko-Xikaya residents, proper
sanitation for Topville residents and good
roads within the Municipality amongst other
pressing issues.
“Much as we are providing services for our
people, vandalism on electrical and water
infrastructure is still a huge concern,” he
noted.

The only community member including
our journalist in attendance like in the
previous ordinary council sittings, Nico
Myesa said he is confident that Mathebula
will do a good job as he is a loyal servant of
the people.
Speaker David Maake added by
advising Mathebula to bring money to the
Municipality to address bulk infrastructure
challenges.
“We are happy that slowly our budget and
treasury officials are now able to get us out
of the overdraft and we will be able to pay
salaries and fund our own funded project,”
he said.
On the contrary, a senior municipal official
said contractors are crying of not having
received payments for work done in the past
three months.
PR Councillor Percy Maphanzela was
rebuked by the Speaker and Mayor when
Exco member Alinah Peta was delivering
an item on a report sanctioned by council
in the previous sitting having requested the
Strategic and Planning Department Portfolio
Committee to investigate why there is exodus
resignation within the department.
An official who recently left the
Municipality said she could have stayed
had the employer offered a counteroffer.
Currently,
the Municipality is only operating
with one fixed term director being Maite
Moakamela under Corporate Affairs while
other departments have been operating with
acting directors for a number of years.
There is still need word on the future of
suspended Municipal Chief Financial Officer,
Aubrey Mushwana, but allegations are
that council and Mushwana are currently
engaging their legal counsels to reach an out
of court settlement.

KLG schools sport festival
attracts thousands
MANDELAMONTH: ANCWL Phalaborwa Sub-Regional Chairperson, Alinah Peta, Nthabiseng Special
School Principal Nkhensani Khoza and the league’s Secretary Daisy Nkwane and learners during the
last day of Mandela Month.
MANDELAMONTH: ANCWL Sub-Regional Chairperson Alinah Peta, her collecƟve leadership, the
school’s management and learners.
The ANCWL Phalaborwa Sub-Regional
leadership and members visited and
donated food parcels and sanitary towels at
Nthabiseng Special School in Namakgale
commemorating Tata Madiba’s month on 31
July.
Marking the last day of Mandela Month,
the league’s chairperson Alinah Peta said
Nthabiseng learners are very special hence
their institution’s name.
“These children were delivered by women
and women in our African culture are
the care givers hence we are here in our
numbers with 17 out of our 18 wards within
the Municipality. As a parent, I know all
challenges faced by mothers and children
who through not their own liking have lost
their parents and immediate guardians,”
Peta said.
The school’s Principal Nkhensani Khoza
said many people often visit them, but only a
few consider the child’s needs.
“We currently have 141 learners from
around the Municipality with some born
with intellectual impairments while most
have multiple impairments. This donation
and visit will go a long way in helping the
learners’ self-esteem as many can spend
almost a year without having heard someone
greeting them let alone a gentle hug. We have
knocked at Mma Peta’s door many times, but
she never turned us down and may the Good
Lord continue blessing her,” she explained.
Tracy Mukvevho says she is eternally
grateful to the Good Samaritans and wished
them many prosperous days ahead.
“I need clothes because I stay with my
siblings, granny and uncles and no one is
working at home,” said Thapelo Mathebula
from Makhushane.
Another learner from Makhushane,
Clifford Mokgalaka said he is subjected
to begging clothes from neighbours as his
family is impoverished.
Tens of thousands of sport followers
flocked the sports grounds in the Lephepane
area last weekend to witness the sizzling
annual school sport festival hosted by
the Kaizer Letsoalo Games (KLG) Sport
Committee. The spectators were drawn
from many communities in the vast Greater
Tzaneen area that had come through to
support their respective schools.
It is reported that the famous venue at
Lephepane, known as Soccer City, was
packed to its rafters as the crowd, estimated
at twenty thousand, did not want to miss any
single action of this exciting, fantastic and
fabulous event in the calendar of KLG Sport.
The festival comprised various sporting
codes in the primary, junior secondary and
high school categories.
These codes included soccer, netball,
volleyball and chess. There was an
added categorir of open club soccer that
accommodated community members who
might not necessarily be scholars.
The Essay-writing contest for both primary
and secondary school categories was held
on Thursday at Ramoba High school in
Thlabine. According to the Administrator
of KLG, Trilly Mogoboya, the results of the
essay-writing contest will be announced on
Friday 21 August at the Lephepane Child
Care centre. That will be in the occasion o
he Richard Awards Ceremony wherein live
debates or public speaking contests will be
staged.
In the Primary schools category,
Lephepane primary school emerged
victorious after beating Maje 5-3 in the
finals of the soccer to claim the coveted
trophy and gold medals. Maje claimed silver
medals while Rita Primary school got bronze
medals for taking third place after beating
Leseka Primary school in the loser’ finals.
In the netball category, Maje claimed the
championship trophy after beating Rita
Primary school in the finals, while Modupi
came third after beating Lephepane in the
loser’s finals.
Serurubele took the junior secondary
(under-16) title for soccer after deposing the
defending champions Mokhapa on Sunday.
Mokhapa had won the category for three
consecutive years and kept the original
trophy.
In the High school category, Mahlane,
Mokhapa and Serurubele topped the stakes
in both Netball and soccer. In soccer,
Mahlane High School beat Mokhapa
High school in the finals after a 5-2 score
was registered after a penalty shoot-out.
Serurubele claimed a bronze medal after
their victory over Mabushe High school in
the losers’ finals.
However, Mokhapa High School won
the netball championship after walloping
Mahlane High school in the finals.
Serurubele claimed the third spot (bronze)
after thrashing Mabushe in the loser’s finals.
In chess, it was Ramoba High school which
was crowned champions after beating Letaba
TVET College.
Mabushe High School won the volleyball
title, while Mokhapa claimed the second spot
(silver), and Letaba TVET College came third
(bronze).
The spotlight fell on the open club category
on Sunday.
In soccer, the defending champions, KLG
All Stars, a select team from all teams in the
KLG Soccer League, lost the coveted title to
Letaba TVET College after a 2-0 score line
was register at the end of play. However, the
fortunes were reversed in the netball where

FAREWELL: Lephepane Primary School threw a farewell party for Blandina Monareng at Karibu
Lodge on Saturday. Monareng accepts her cerƟficate of excellence from the school’s principal,
Maboke Letsoalo.
School hosts farewell
function for teachers
Lephepane Primary School bid farewell to
two of their teachers in style at Karibu Lodge
recently.
The school combined a farewell for
Blandina Monareng who is a retiree with that
of her colleague Linda Mpenyana who now
works at another school (Magreth Shiluvana
Primary School).
Monareng was the school’s HOD. She
retired after serving the Department of
Education for more that 38 years. She started
her career at Owenkosi Primary in Steelpoort
Tubatse where she taught for three years.
Monareng then joined Lephepane Primary
where she served for 36 years.
School principal, Maboke Letsoalo said he
is sad that Monareng has left the school. “It
is sad that the joyride of working with you
has come to an end. I have never wished to
work with a colleague for years until I met
you,” he said.
Mpenyana on the other hand has been
with the school for two years. The school’s
managements said both teachers will be
missed and it will be hard to replace them.
Principals from other schools and teachers
graced the event. Monareng was welcomed to
the Exclusive Club for Retirees by Professor
John Lewin.
The day was filled with lots of
entertainment including choral music from
the school’s choir.
