Canning giant leaves M’kloof
MODJADJISKLOOF’s economy will most
likely take a knock with the relocation of the
Tiger Brands canned tomato plant to Musina
and Boksburg.
200 Seasonal workers and 50 permanent
workers will be left unemployed by the move,
according to the Greater Letaba Municipality
(GLM).
The company announced their intention of
moving the factory in December 2012 and
entered into consultations with the employees
and the union involved.
’After the municipality was informed that
Tiger Brands was closing down, the mayor
scheduled meetings with the management. He
was concerned about the issue as it is one of the
companies which contributes greatly to our
economy,’ said Lovers Maenetje, GLM communications officer.
‘As a consequence of increasing raw material costs and other cost inflation such as
energy and fuel, including the costs of transporting tomatoes to the Modjadjiskloof area,
we were obliged to seek supply chain cost
efficiencies which would allow us to deliver
against our quality and pricing objectives,’ said
Alex Mathole, Tiger Brands corporate affairs
group executive in a statement on Monday.
According to Maenetje, Tiger Brands will
relocate 40 of the 90 permanent staff members
with the canning plant.
Matie Willemse, DA ward councillor in
Modjadjiskloof said that he has warned the
mayor and municipality for the last twelve
Female dagga
farmer arrested
A 40-year-old woman was arrested for cultivation of dagga at
Sunnyside Village in the Maake
area on Thursday.
According to the Maake police
spokesperson, Constable Mpho
Seroto, the suspect was arrested
after the police spotted the dagga
plantation in her yard while
years with regard to infrastructure issues in the
town.
According to Willemse the town’s sewerage,
electric and water problems led to the relocation of the factory as well as labour law
changes and an agreement between the government and China to import goods at a special
tariff.
Willemse said that the electricity supply is
not stable and that Khulani, Universal Pallets
and Tiger Brands built a powerline in 2002
because the GLM did not have the funding.
Tiger Brands also built their own water
purification plant and invested in generators to
overcome service delivery issues according to
Willemse.
’Among other things that they indicated
contributed to the relocation was the mortuary,
scrap yard, and timber yard which are just next
to their factory,’ said Maenetje.
’The municipality is deeply saddened by
their departure and feel that we could have
done more, but unfortunately, it was out of our
hands. Their leaving had nothing to do with
electricity or any other matter that has to do
with service delivery,’ Maenetje said.
’Tiger Brands made a commitment to funding
economically viable ventures that would benefit the affected employees as well as the
community of Modjadjiskloof,’ said Mathole.
Parties, including the GLM, are still discussing options.
The mayor of Modjadjiskloof, councillor
Godfrey City Modjadji and his executive team
have made a commitment to support these
ventures.

No bail for toddler rapist
By Licia Selepe
A 29-year-old man suspected of raping a
two-year-old girl was denied bail by the Naphuno Magistrate's Court in Maake outside
Tzaneen on Tuesday.
The suspect, David Sekgobela, allegedly
abducted the little girl and took her in to the
bushes where he raped her and left her for dead
at Pulaneng Village two weeks ago.
The child was severely injured and spent a
week at Mankweng Hospital after the ordeal.
She is now recovering at home.
Sekgobela fled to Gauteng after the brutal
rape but the police traced him to a flat in
Yeoville where he was arrested on Saturday.
The provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said the suspect,
who was a friend of the victim's father, was
remanded in police custody.
Community members, some carrying little
girls of the same age as the victim, protested
outside the court and demanded the suspect be
denied bail.
Brig. Mulaudzi thanked the angry community member who protested outside the
court for not disturbing the court proceedings.
Earlier in the saga, outraged community
members burned down the rapist’s father’s
house after the suspect fled to Gauteng.
Police have opened a case of arson but no
arrests have yet been made.
The provincial police Commissioner Lt-Gen
Simon Mpembe warned people not to take the
law into their own hands.
A large crowd protested outside the court on
Tuesday again where Sekgobela was expected
to make his second appearance.
NO BAIL: Community members, some carrying little girls of the same age as the victim,
protested outside the community demanding the suspect be denied bail.

Awarding of tenders in the spotlight
By Licia Selepe
Capacity constrains in the Greater Letaba
Municipality (GLM)'s supply chain management unit is one of the reasons that the
municipality awarded contracts to tender bidders who did not qualify.
This was indicated by the GLM manager,
Glory Mashaba during the public hearing on
the Annual Report for the 2011/2012 financial
year at Kgapane Community Hall on
Thursday.
According to the chairperson of the Mu-
nicipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC),
Jeffrey Baloyi, the public hearing was organised by the MPAC in order for the municipal manager as the accounting officer, to
make public responses on any questions
posed by the MPAC.
The questions were based on the findings by
the Auditor General.
The GLM improved from an adverse outcome in the 2010/2011 financial year to a
qualified audit opinion in 2011/2012
The Auditor General (AG) was dissatisfied
with the awarding of tender and contracts.
According to the AG report, contracts were
awarded to bidders based on the performance
points that were not calculated in accordance
with the requirement of the preferential procurement policy framework.
The report indicates that tenders were awarded to providers whose directors are persons
in the service of government, in contravention
of the requirements of supply chain management regulation.
Furthermore suppliers failed to declare that
they were employed by government. Persons
in service of the municipality, whose close
family members had private or business interests in contract awarded by the municipality, also failed to disclose such interest.
Mashaba in response to this said there were
constrains in the supply chain management
unit but since they have appointed the assistant director, things have been going well.
'All pieces of legislation were adhered to in
the awarding of tenders to date in the
2012/2013 financial year,' said Mashaba.

evening.
Jazz lovers mesmerized
The annual Marula Festival ended on a high
note on Saturday at Impala Park Stadium when
thousands of people danced to the jazz tunes,
while others enjoyed drinking Marula beer.
The eighth Marula Festival stretched for nine
days, with three various music genres, it began
on March 1 with kwaito followed by gospel the
following day and ended with the most popular, the jazz festival.
Premier Cassel Mathale, Deputy Minister of
Tourism, Thokozile Xasa and MEC for
Limpopo Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET), Pinky Kekana
seemed to have enjoyed themselves, since
they danced throughout the evening.
Event organiser for Ziyaphenduka Promotions, Bruce Kgapane expressed his satisfaction of the total turnout of the event. ‘From
now on the festival will be in this fashion, I was
happy with the well behaved people of
Phalaborwa and I'm still looking forward to
working with them,' said Kgapane.
The event was to symbolically mark the first
fruit and also to market and promote the
marula products through different participating Small Micro Medium Enterprises
(SMME's), Small Enterprise Development
agency (SEDA) and cooperatives.
It was also meant to celebrate the wealth and
diverse heritage of the inhabitants of the
province with the promise of the significant
growth in the tourism sector.
A variety of products were displayed at
different stalls at the festival.
Innocentia Mabasa of Phalaborwa said it's
sad that they have to wait another year for a
joyous event like this. 'The festival brought
people together, I was happy to see my friend
and family from as far as Swaziland. The
atmosphere was great,' said Mabasa.
The event featured popular band Stimela,
musicians Caiphus Semenya and his wife Letta
Mbuli, Ringo Madlingozi, Colbert Mukwevho,
Joe Shirimani, Mooca and Basadi Women of
Jazz. They all mesmerised the crowd with their
performances.

The Mopani District Executive Mayor Joshua
Matlou officially handed back 160 repaired

said they were touched to see
many learners without desks during the back to school campaign
in January.
He said they decided to help the
school because it is one of the best
improved in terms of matric results
in the Thabina Circuit last year.
Matlou said there are at least
four schools in each of the five
local municipalities which have
their own needs and the municipality has taken it upon itself to
help.
‘Schools which we visited need
various assistance ranging from
classrooms, computers, books
and many others,' Matlou said.
The school principal, Masilo
Letsoalo said with these desks they
would be able to adhere to the one
teacher to 35 learner's ratio as
required by the current syllabus.
He said they are very happy
because the backlog of shortage of
desks will be reduced. 'The repaired desks will help create a
conducive environment for learning and teaching,' said Letsoalo.
The chairperson for the Representative Council of Learners at
the school, Karabo Mametja said
she was very happy as all learners
have desks to sit at while in
class.
She said the problem of shortage
of desks affected mostly learners
in Grade 8, who are the new
comers at the school.
According to Thabina Circuit
Manager, Tom Kgomo, there are
25 schools in the area which have
various challenges. He said they
are happy because the municipalities are joining hands to address
some of the challenges faced by
