PAGE 2 PHALABORWA HERALD - Friday 5 February 2010 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.

NUUS 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. PAGE 3
