SANDF member in for
alledgedly shooting boy
By: Given Sebashe
A South African National Defence Force
soldier was arrested for allegedly shooting a 17
year old boy with a pellet gun in Namakgale
last Saturday.
According to Namakgale police Spokesperson,
Constable Lucy Sekgotodi, the suspect
allegedly shot the boy in the shoulder with a
pellet gun, where the pellet remained lodged.
The incident apparently occurred at a hot
spot, liked by criminals, next to a liquor store at
around 20:45 on Saturday.
According to Sekgotodi, the victim was walk-
ing alone when the incident occurred.
The suspect was apparently practicing his
shooting skills when he shot the victim.
The victim was immediately rushed to Maphutha
Hospital for treatment. He was since
transferred to Polokwane Hospital for further
treatment as doctors could not remove the
pellet.
The suspect, identified as Zanoxolo Cofa,
was arrested on the spot and was charged with
assault with intent to cause grievous bodily
harm.
Cofa made a brief appearance at Namakgale
Magistrate's Court on Monday.

“Die demografiese en geografiese
voorstelle sal nie in aanmerking

te maak dat die ANC volle stemming
wen, en dat die DA se plek
op die raad verlore gaan.”

These men work
for municipality
By: Given Sebashe
Last week, the Phalaborwa/Hoedspruit
Herald published
an article about four men, whom
some residents said claim to be
working for the municipality.
The residents claimed that the
men go from yard to yard, saying
they are checking faulty water
meters.
According to some of these residents,
the men looked suspicious
as they had no identification
cards, and the bakkie they used
had no municipal identification
and was missing a number plate.
They immediately alerted the
Herald to put up a notice in an
effort to warn others not to allow
the men onto their premises, as
they might be criminals.
The Herald contacted the municipality
to confirm the appointment
of the men fitting the description
of those described by
residents. One of our journalists
ran into one of the suspects who
was also the driver of the bakkie.
In actual fact, the driver of the
bakkie is employed by the Mopani
District Municipality, which is the
water authority of the whole district.
The municipality confirmed his
employment. According to him,
he was called upon to assist
Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality. He
is serving under the water and
sewerage department of the municipality
and replaces inactive
water meters.
The bakkie he drives is a subsidised
vehicle and has not yet
received the municipal logo.
However, the municipality said
they will look into the matter and
address it soon so that residents
can identify him and his team.
They also understand that the
residents have a right not to allow
anyone onto their premises if they
suspect foul play.
The Herald would like to apologise
for any inconvenience
caused by the publication of incorrect
information.
Police arrest 20 suspects
Twenty people were arrested
by the Namakgale police for
various criminal offences committed
over the past week.
Eight males were arrested for
violation of the road traffic act,
one for drunk and driving and
three for public drinking.
Three males were arrested for
common assault, one for rape
and two for assault with intent to
cause grievous bodily harm.
One male was arrested for malicious
damage to property and
one for being in possession of
suspected stolen property.

MEC for Limpopo Economic Development,
Environment and Tourism, and the Mayor of
Ba-Phalaborwa, Gloria Mudunungu, during
the official launch of the Marula Festival held
at Hans Merensky Golf Estate last Thursday.
PHALABORWA HERALD - Friday 5 February 2010
Ba-Phalaborwa Mayor, Gloria Mudunungu,
showing respect during the traditional performance
presented by Chief of Seloane,
Mapula Malatji, to officiate the drinking of
marula beer as part of this year’s Marula
Festival.
Marula Festival launched
By: Given Sebashe
The annual Marula Festival was officially
launched last Thursday at the Hans Merensky
Golf Estate by Limpopo Economic Development,
Environment and Tourism (LEDET), in
partnership with the Department of Sport, Arts
and Culture, Limpopo Tourism and Parks and
the Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality.
The main event, which is due to take place
from February 25 to 27 at Impala Park, is
centred around increasing market access, and
raising awareness on available marula, cultural
and tourism products within the region,
involving enterprise and co-operatives from
different areas in the province.
MEC for LEDET, Pitsi Moloto, said
Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality plays a vital role
in growing the economy of the province
because of its richness of natural resources that
attract tourists. "Part of the concept of the
Marula Festival is to promote and respect
tradition and culture by wearing our traditional
dress code and drinking marula from
clay pots so that we attract tourists." Moloto
further said more should be done on the
department’s side to show support during the
marula build-up events, and not only during
the main event.
Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality has been the
host of the festival since its inception because
of its strategic positioning as a gateway to the
east.
The Marula Festival was conceptualised in
2005. Local Mayor, Gloria Mudunungu, in her
address expressed Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality’s
appreciation of still being the host of the
festival since its inception.
Mudunungu urged everyone who will be
attending the festival to wear their traditional
clothes and be proud of their cultures.
This year, the festival will include, amongst
other things, exhibitions of marula
byproducts, marula beer tasting, a tourism
career fair and 4X4 racing challenges.
Meanwhile, the municipality has already
started with the build-up events to the Marula
Festival. So far, two of the five royal kraals in
Ba-Phalaborwa have already had their
build-up events where the chiefs officiated the
drinking of marula beer in their areas.
One of the royal kraals visited by the mayor
and municipal officials was in Seloane village.

KNP unveils the 2010 FIFA Match
Vi l l a g e s
The official FIFA accommodation
plaque to highlight the
Kruger National Park’s preparations
for the 2010 FIFA World Cup
at Skukuza Rest Camp was formally
unveiled last week by the
park’s Managing Executive, Abe
Sibiya.
The company responsible for
accommodation during the soccer
showpiece, Match, awarded KNP
the plaques to mark the three
camps, namely Skukuza, Pretoriuskop
and Berg en Dal, as the
official accommodation providers
for 2010 soccer World Cup visitors
from June 11 to July 11.
"As we unveil the plaque, we
want to believe that it will remain
as a reminder to our staff and
visitors from now until the end of
the World Cup, to the effect that
we have committed ourselves as
KNP to serving the 2010 FIFA
World Cup visitors who will come
to this country," said Sibiya in his
keynote address.
Sibiya updated local members
of the media and KNP staff on the
park's current preparations for the
2010 World Cup in areas such as
accommodation renovations in all
camps, safety and security issues,
disaster management plans, activities
and entertainment, and local
community development opportunities
which will be available in
the park during the soccer tournament.
He further urged staff members
to honour this significant gesture.
Sibiya indicated that the KNP is an
acclaimed world famous organisation
and by implication, should
be able to provide world class
service as expected by both local
and international tourists.
"Irrespective of which area of
responsibility you are in, please
ask yourselves what your contributions
are going to be during
the World Cup. See to it that you
do your bit and aim to enhance the
image and reputation of the country
and that of the organisation you
work for; this should go beyond
the 2010 FIFA World Cup," concluded
Sibiya.

ProGroup Foundation opens
THE ProGroup Foundation is now operational.
It is a registered non-profit human rights
trust with women and children as its core
focus. The foundation is governed by a board
of trustees.
Their Community Centre is situated in the
basement of the Lombards building - oppostie
KFC.
The following services will be available to
the public - FREE OF CHARGE.
Victim Empowerment - Victims of domestic
violence, sexual abuse, child abuse and victims
of violent crimes will be empowered to
make informed decisions regarding the situation
they find themselves in, for example:
23% of the population living in Mopani
District is HIV positive. It can therefore be a
lifesaving decision to take the medication
called PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) within
72 hours after unlawful sexual penetration
(the new legal definition for rape).
Trauma Counselling - Victims of crime are
traumatised and if not acknowledged and
treated, victims can suffer from various emotional
disorders eg anxiety, depression, anger
and violence.
Court Preparation & Support - Victims of
crime have to give evidence in court if the
case was reported to the police. A daunting
prospect for most people. At the centre you
will be prepared for your day in court and a
representative from the centre will even attend
the hearing with you. For many victims this
can become a liberating experience.
Access to Justice - All citizens and victims of
crimes have rights. The centre will inform you
of your rights and help you to enforce them.
PHALABORWA HERALD - Friday 5 February 2010
Human Rights Education - The Community
Centre aims to present various workshops in

Besoek towerwêreld
van modelmotortjies
André Buys
POLOKWANE- Dit is ‘n towerwêreld
wat jou meevoer na nostalgiese
herinneringe van die
verlede en ook die hede.
Dit gryp die verbeelding van
sowel kind as ouer aan as jy jou oë
oor meer as 2 000 modelmotortjies
in swierige vertoonkaste
laat gly.
Verskillende tydperke van die
motor bedryf en veel meer is in die
versameling van Pieter de Jager, ‘n
sakeman van Polokwane vervat.
Voor-oorlogse modelmotortjies
spog in die mooiste kleure en
mens kan nie anders as om ‘n rooi
1947 Ford raak te sien nie, want
die meeste Fords wat ouer mense
van die era gesien het was swart.
Spoggerige koetse van verskillende
groottes, kompleet, elk met
sowat agt perde vooraan, staan
daar, gevries in tyd.
Pieter vertel dit is koetse van
koningin Elizabeth se tyd.
Hy meen sy versameling is
sowat R1 miljoen werd en dit is
een van die grootste modelmotortjies
versameling noord van
Pretoria.
Mense sal wonder waar sy liefde
vir dié besondere stokperdtjie
vandaan kom. "Dit het al sedert
klein tyd in my begin posvat elke
keer as die plaaslike haarkapper
aan my ‘n karretjie belowe, as ek
mooi so stilsit terwyl hy my hare
s k e e r. "
Hy het reg aan sy pragversameling
laat geskied deur dit in ‘n
museum te omskep, wat die
Classique Modelcar Collection
Museum genoem word.
Hy is ook lid van Pietersburg
Diecast Club wat sowat 35 lede
sterk is.
Pieter het ‘n woonstyel bokant
sy meubelwinkel- Classique Furnishers
in Schoemanstraat in ‘n
museum omskep. Hy het geen
moeite ontsien om reg aan sy
versameling te laat geskied nie en
die kaste met die lugdigte vensters
is van kersiehout. Spesiale beligting
sorg dat daar nie
skaduwees is nie. Volvloer matte
maak dit so ‘n aangename
omgewing en mense kan op sowat
26 stoele sit en die versameling
bewonder, want glo my dit gaan ‘n
tydjie neem.
Pieter sê hy voel soos ‘n kind
tussen sy versameling. "Vandag se
kinders weet nie van sulke goed
soos gietyster modelletjies nie,"
skerts hy.
Oor wat sy versameling behels,
gesels hy geesdriftig. Elke modelletjie
is eg en die groottes wissel
van baie klein tot 1:18de skaal.
Die versameling verteenwoordig,
Duitse, Franse, Britse en
Amerikaanse modelle, maar dit
eindig nie hier nie. Dit word
aangevul deur twee treintjies,
grondverskuiwingsmasjine- rie,
oorlogtuig, soos tenks, motorfietse,
helikopters en vliegtuie en
nog meer.
"Wat die versameling meer
werd maak, is dat ek nog die
oorspronklike verpakking van
elke modelletjie het en elkeen is in
‘n uitstekende toestand en lyk
splinternuut. Beperkte produksie
van baie modelle maak dit nog
meer werd en ek het ook sertifikaatjies
as bewys daarvan."
Hy sê party modelletjies kos tot
R5 000 elk en is "so swaar soos ‘n
baksteen."
Die publiek is welkom om sy
versameling te gaan besigtig.
Hulle kan dit per afspraak kom
bewonder en sy werk telefoonnommer
is : (015) 297 2037.
Quentin kry groot verrassing
‘n Lekker vet verrassing so vroeg in die nuwe jaar. Quentin Zwane, links het deelgeneem aan ‘n gelukkige sms

Beukes is die eienaar van Gallito’s in Tzaneen en Phalaborwa. Zwane is ‘n inwoner van Phalaborwa en het sy geskenk

Three prominent members back
As part of its ‘Come Back Home Campaign’, the ANC of
Mopani Region welcomed three prominent members of the
Congress of the People back to its ranks during a press
conference held at the party’s regional offices in Tzaneen on
Tu e s d a y.
The three are Benny Moshobane, Morgan Lewele and
Peter Modike who left the party more than a year ago to join
the breakaway political party, Cope.
Moshobane, the former Chief Executive Officer of
Kgapane Hospital, was the Sub-regional Chairperson of
Cope in the Greater Letaba Municipality. He was also
serving on the regional and provincial committees of the
p a r t y.
Morgan Lewele, who was a member of the executive
committee of the De Oaks branch of Cope, was very
instrumental in the formation of Cope in Maruleng. He was
part of a contingent to move out from the ANC to form Cope
in the area.
Meanwhile, Peter Modike, former ANC councillor in the
Greater Tzaneen Municipality before joining Cope - just
before the previous general elections - was a senior member
of the Mhlaba branch as well as Tzaneen Sub-region of
Cope before he decided to re-join the ruling party.
The three were welcomed back into the ranks of the ruling
party by the ANC’s regional executive committee, including
the Chairperson, Joshua Matlou, Deputy Chairperson,
David Maake, and Secretary, Bricks Manzini.
Speaking at the press conference, Matlou said the ANC
still expects a mass exodus of Cope members to come back
home, because it is the only home for South Africans.
“We will continue to engage all the people of South Africa
to be part of the transformation agenda as lead by the ANC,”
Matlou said.
Matlou further explained that their ’Come Back Home
Campaign’ will be launched throughout the region to
ensure that all those comrades who joined Cope and other
political parties are warmly welcomed back into the
p a r t y.
He also indicated that the three, like any other member,
would be given tasks to assist in building the organisation.
Speaking on behalf of the three, Moshobane said they
were not pushed to rejoin the ANC, but did it of their own
free will.

The Chief has come home!
A very promising young rugby player from

area.
Talenta "The Chief" Mathebula was born and

His leadership and sporting abilities, even as
a primary school boy, didn’t go unnoticed and
he was invited to attend the prestigious St Johns
College in Houghton to complete his school

At St Johns Talenta was captain of the soccer
and basketball teams and vice captain of the
first rugby team.
The burly youngster was soon noticed by
provincial talent hunters and was selected for
the Gauteng Lions Under 19 provincial team.
He plays both flank and lock and now wants
to plough back his experience and exposure to
the highest levels of coaching into the local
sporting fraternity.
Apart from his parents, local couple Coen
and Sophia Espag have "adopted" Talenta and
assists him in his endeavours to create a career
in the area.
Talenta intends to play rugby for Letaba and
hopes to settle in or around Tzaneen. His wish
is to land a coaching job, preferably in rugby,
but sports in general is a passion for Telenta,
and he sees himself as a sports developer and
administrator in the future.
Persons interested in assisting the likeable
young man may contact Dippies de Beer on
073 314 8146 for more information.
