Munisipale verval? Deur Jasper Raats - jasper@noordnuus.co.za
MOKOPANE – Raadslede aan beide kante van die politieke spektrum is hande-in-diehare oor die vervalle toestand van paaie, sypaadjies en parke in Mokopane. Hulle meen die munisipale departemente verantwoordelik vir die instandhouding en onderhoud van die dorp doen nie hul werk nie. “Die gras in ons parke staan heuphoogte en waar dit wel gesny is, is daar nie onder bome gesny nie en is rommel net so gelos,” sê DA raadslid, Korny Dekker. Volgens die internet ensiklopidie, Wikipedia, is die doel van parke in stadsbeplanning om openbare ontspanningsareas vir dorp of stadsinwoners te bied. “Die ontwerp, bestuur en onderhoud word gewoonlik deur die regering behartig, meestal op plaaslike vlak, maar kan per geleentheid aan privaatsektor maatskappye uitgekontrakteur word. “Algemene kenmerke van munisipale parke sluit speelgronde, tuine, staproetes, draf en fiksheidspaaie en soms openbare toiletgeriewe in na gelang van die begroting en natuurlike hulpbronne beskikbaar,” lui die Wikipedia omskrywing. Mokopane se parke voldoen aan geen van hierdie kenmerke nie en kan bloot as oorgroeide stukke veld met vervalle en geroeste speelgoed daarop beskryf word. Nog ‘n raadslid, Beyers Smit, sê hy het die afgelope paar maande al verskeie kwessies onder die munisipaliteit se aandag gebring. Sy klagtes spruit uit onwettige storting in die Prins Park tussen Vanadium en Topaasstraat, stukkende straatligte, slaggate en slote in woongebiede, sand in paaie en taxi's wat op onwettige plekke stop en mense op en aflaai. Hy het tot dusvêr geen reaksie gekry nie. Baie besoekers aan die dorp kla ook gereeld dat baie strate se naamaanwysers weg is of dat die bordjies so verblyk is dat mense dit nie kan lees nie. Verskeie mangate en stormwaterdreineringsgate in die dorp staan oop of is in so ‘n gehawende toestand dat dit gevaar vir mens en dier inhou. Dekker sê wat hom die ongelukkigste maak is dat die dorp nie lyk soos hy lyk oor ‘n tekort aan geld nie. “Daar is geld en tyd om hierdie probleme aan te spreek en reg te maak, dit lyk eerder vir my of die wil by ons munisipaliteit ontbreek. Hulle is nie lus om hul werk te doen nie.” Maar munisipale bestuurder William

Kekana sê die probleem lê eerder by swak beplanning, iets wat hy beoog om hierdie jaar reg te stel. Hy verduidelik dat die goeie reëns wat die onlangse twee maande in die Bosveld geval het, die parke departement onverwags betrap het. “Die gras het verskriklik gegroei en die departement is gekniehalter deur ‘n tekort aan mannekrag omdat baie mense oor die feesgety met verlof was.” Hy sê die departement is nou druk besig om die agterstand in te haal. Kekana erken dat daar ook probleme met die standaard van onderhoud op parke en munisipale sypaadjies en terreine mag wees en het onderneem om hierdie jaar meer aandag daaraan te gee. Om mee weg te spring sal departementsbestuurders in die toekoms onder druk wees om meer beplanning rondom seisoene te doen alvorens hulle mense se verlofaansoeke goedkeur. Die klagtes oor paaie, stormwaterslote, padtekens en naamboorde wat in ‘n vervalle toestand is, skryf Kekana toe aan 'n verdeelde fokus by die departement van tegniese dienste. “Ons het so hard gekonsentreer op watervoorsiening verlede jaar dat ons dalk van ons ander verpligtinge agterweë gelaat het.” Hy sê daar is reeds R7-miljoen beskikbaar gestel vir onderhoud van paaie

LEPHALALE - ’n Plaaslike polisieman is verlede Vrydag gearresteer op aanklag dat hy gesteelde koperkabels wou koop. Volgens provinsiale polisie woordvoerder, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, is adjudant offisier Johannes Gouws (56) van die Lephalale polisie gearresteer toe hy deur ‘n agent van die Valke in ‘n lokval gelei is. Mulaudzi het aan Noordelike Nuus bevestig dat die valke hulle op Lephalale toespits om koperdiefstal hier te ondersoek. “Die lokval is gestel om die groeiende probleem met koperdiefstal hok te slaan.” Gouws wat glo die kabels by die agent gekoop
het, is gearresteer en aangekla daarvan versuim om verslag te doen van die besit van gesteelde goedere, die ontvangs van gesteelde goedere sonder redelike optrede en die oortreding van die Wet op Georganiseerde Misdaad. Hy het Vrydag in die hof verskyn en is op R5 000 borg vrygelaat. Gouws het die bewerings ontken en hou hy vol dat hy valslik beskuldig word. Hy was nog hierdie week aan diens nie, maar sal - indien hy skuldig bevind word - uit die polisiemag geskors word. Hy moet weer op 28 Februarie in die Lephalalelanddroshof verskyn.

Baltimore rowers skuldig aan moord POLOKWANE - Familielede van die vier veiligheidswagte wat vyf jaar gelede dood is toe ‘n bende transitorrowers die geldwa waarin hulle was naby Baltimore aan die brand gesteek het, het Vrydag min genade gehad toe hul moordenaars deur die hooggeregshof skuldig bevind is. “Ek hoop hulle vrot nou in die tronk,” het Rex Stein, pa van Deon Stein aan Beeld gesê. Regter Wilson Msimeki het sewe van die nege beskuldigdes skuldig bevind aan die moord op Stein jr. (20) en Dirk Kleynhans (28), Hennie Botha (22) en Marcus Malete (24). Hulle is op 29 September 2006 in die SBV-geldwa waarin hulle na Lephalale op pad was met ’n Mercedes-Benz van die pad afgedruk naby Baltimore. Die rowers het met AK47-en R5-aanvalsgewere op hulle losgebrand. Toe hulle die geldwa nie met ’n hoekslyper kon oopsny nie, het hulle petrol oor die voertuig gegooi en dit aan die brand gesteek. Kleynhans, Botha en Malete het verkool. Stein is uit die wa getrek, maar is weens rookinaseming dood. Tshepo Malebo (34), Joe Malebese (47), Emmanuel Baros (37), Asser Ndjamba (35) en Antonio Ndala (40) is elk op vier aanklagte van moord skuldig bevind asook diefstal, poging tot roof, die onwettige besit van outomatiese vuurwapens en ammunisie, roof met verswarende omstandighede en poging tot moord.

No meals for hospital patients Dra vandag pienk vir Pippie MOKOPANE – Doctors in town have resorted to buying food for patients in the Voortrekker hospital from their own pockets as it appears the provincial department is not buying food for hospitals. Dr Phophi Ramathuba, national chairperson of the public service doctors at the South African Medical Association (SAMA) attributes this to underhand activities to discredit the national government. Voortrekker hospital is not the only hospital in Limpopo to run out of food. In other hospitals patients are being fed biscuits, instead of staple foods like bread. SAMA is now threatening legal action against Limpopo’s service providers who have cut back food supplies in hospitals. Last week, Finance Minister Pravin
Gordhan said there was apparently evidence of attempts to sabotage service delivery in Limpopo, and then to blame the National Treasury’s decision to take over five departments in the bankrupt province. Ramathuba said some of the suppliers had confessed to her that they had been instructed to cut back supplies. “They only say they were instructed to stop supplying; they don’t say by whom.” Limpopo Health Department spokesman Joe Maila admitted that some hospitals were experiencing food shortages. “But we know that since the weekend, suppliers have been beginning to deliver food,” he told The Star. The department promised that the situation would be resolved this week.

Sy is in Desember twee keer deur ‘n Mozambiekse spoegkobra op die hand en elmboog gepik. Maandag kon die kleuter haar voog en ouma, Charmain Robbertse, vir die eerste keer in vyf weke ‘n drukkie met altwee armpies gee. Vel is van Mikayla se rug en bobeen geneem en op haar arm en hand oorgeplant waarna haar hand aan haar lies vasgewerk is om weefsel groei te bevorder. Die handjie is Maandag losgesny en die dokters is tevrede met Mikayla se vordering. Alhoewel daar nog so 18 maande se operasies, physioterapie en mediese behandeling voorlê, sal Mikayla vir eers terug huis toe kan kom na Lephalale toe. Intussen het Robbertse laat weet dat Murray & Roberts se bestuur aangebied het om Mikayla se nasorg by hul privaatkliniek in Lephalale te behartig.

Deur Valerie Cilliers - valerie@noordnuus.co.za LEPHALALE - Die nuus oor die twee-jarige Isabella (Pippie) Kruger van Lephalale wat op Oujaarsaand erg verbrand het toe ‘n bottel vuuraansteekmiddel naby haar ontplof het, het mense landswyd aan die bid. Ter ondersteuning van klein Pippie het duisende weldoeners onderneem om vandag (Vrydag) pienk te dra. Sangers Bobby en Karlien van Jaarveld, asook Karen Ferreira, het hierdie week ook ingestem om ‘n konsert ten bate van die “Pippie se gesiggie fonds” hier in Lephalale se Mogolsaal aan te bied. Die konsert word vir 18 Februarie beplan, hou gerus die Noordelike Nuus dop vir meer inligting of skakel die organiseerder Elize Swart by 072 340 9016. Elize het saam met Pippie se ma, Anice Kruger, grootgeword en staan haar vriendin by. Hoe gaan dit met Pippie? Anice vertel dat sy wonderlike vordering maak. “Haar hartjie en niere het mooi herstel en selfs die infeksie is baie minder. Ons sukkel egter om haar rooibloedligaamtelling hoër te kry. Pippie se wonde is weer Woensdag in teater skoongemaak en sy het baie bloed verloor.” Die dapper klein dogtertjie is Donderdagoggend weer teater toe, hierdie keer om die asemhalingstoestel waaraan sy die afgelope maand gekoppel was, te verwyder. Sy moes ‘n tracheostomie ondergaan om haar weer te leer asem haal.

ResGen still waiting for rail agreement LEPHALALE - RESOURCE Generation (ResGen), which is developing the Boikarabelo coal mine on the Waterberg coalfield just outside Lephalale , might not achieve its target of first production in early 2014. Northern News spoke to ResGen MD, Paul Jury and found that there are still several hurdles to be scaled before construction can begin. First on the list is a rail haulage contract with Trans Net Freight Rail (TFR). Although a memorandum of understanding with TFR was signed in October, the company is awaiting the signing of a formal contract. “Numerous banks have provided indicative offers for the debt portion. This can however not be completed until TFR sign a rail haulage contract,” Jury said. Transnet spokesperson Mike Asefovitz told Northern News this week that although TFR will spend R7 billion over the next five years to increase its capacity to move coal from the Waterberg coal fields to ports of export, no formal agreement has been reached with any of the coal mines in the area. “Our Waterberg project will entail the upgrading of the existing route from the Waterberg to Rustenburg, Pyramid South and on to Ermelo. This line links Lephalale with Eskom’s power stations in Mpumalanga." Asefovits would not comment on reports that Transnet will spend R31 billion on a new 450km heavy haul rail line for the Waterberg, only saying that feasibility and environmental impact studies are being done to this effect. “This is a long term project and will not come into play within the next seven years.” ResGen is also awaiting a formal response from the Department of Mineral resources in connection with an appeal that was lodged last year by three local farmers whose farms are located in the area of the proposed mine, the nearest being 13km away. According to Jury, the
company was made aware that an appeal has been lodged with the South African Department of Mineral Resources regarding the granting of the Boikarabelo Mining Right to Ledjadja Coal (Pty) Limited (of which ResGen owns 74%). Jury indicated however that the Mining Right remains valid, as the appeal does not suspend the Mining Right previously awarded. “The objections raised are of a general nature and are substantially the same as those lodged by the same parties during the public consultation phase of the mining right application process, which were considered in the granting of the Mining Right. Ledjadja provided its formal response to the Department in September, there is a statutory process to be followed and at this stage no formal notification has been received.” According to Jury, the application for an Integrated Water Use License (IWULA) in December 2010 has also progressed. The use of bore field water available from the farms owned by Resource Generation is being assessed by the Department of Water Affairs (DWA). “All the questions raised by DWA have been satisfactorily responded to and the license is awaited.” Ledjadja applied for approval under the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) in January 2011 for construction of the mine infrastructure and the 36 kilometer rail link route from the Boikarabelo mine to the existing Transnet rail line. “Public consultation and administrative reviews progressed without any material issues the process was completed without any issues and a formal decision is awaited,” said Jury. If the rail contract, funding, mining license review, water license and NEMA approval all falls into place in the near future, construction of phase 1 of the mine will commence in the third quarter of 2012, keeping the ResGen team on target for first production in 2014.
New airport for Lephalale on the cards LEPHALALE - With an increasing number of tourists visiting the Waterberg and the potential growth of Lephalale as a major economic hub in the province, the provincial department of transport announced that it will conduct a feasibility study to determine whether there is a need for a commercial airport in Lephalale. Lephalale military airport is currently being rented out for use by a private company and the department wants to establish if the military airstrip should be upgraded to a full civilian airport. According to the department’s spokesperson
Adrian: 071 687 6015
Thesan Moodley, the feasibility study will also determine the size and urgency for building such an airport. “The Waterberg’s tourism potential might indicate a need for an airport to accommodate more private planes. And given infrastructure development in the Lephalale-area, the airport could also be used to transport specialised mining equipment,” he said. According to Moodley, the transport department was also lobbying national government to upgrade Hoedspruit into an international airport.

Pressure to oust Premier
Mogalakwena mine’s new GM James Morotoba, the new general manager (GM) at Mogalakwena Mine, says moving to Limpopo is like a homecoming for him. He was born and schooled in a village 45km North of Polokwane, Botlokwa, affectionately known as Matocks. Morotoba matriculated from Rampo High school in 1988 where after he enrolled for his BSC Mining Engineering Degree at WITS University. After completion of his degree he was posted in the Mpumalanga’s coal fields. After nine years in the industry he returned to University and completed his MBA. He remained in the Mpumalanga region for 18 years in the coal mining industry where he was stationed at various operations. Morotoba’s last position was as GM of Isibonelo Colliery, which he occupied for two years. Prior to that he was the GM of Landau Colliery for two years as well. He launched Mafube (2004) and Isibonelo (2005) Collieries. “I consider the opportunities to start up these two Collieries as a privilege and some of the highlights of my career.” Morotoba and his life partner Nondwe are looking forward to set down roots in Mokopane with their two children Landiwe (14) and Matome (8). He attributes much of his success to his father. “My father could not read or write, yet at the end of every semester he would look at my report card and praise and
encourage me. It was only later, in high school, that I realized he was unable to read my report card. His love and support through those acts was touching. He will always will remain my hero.” Morotoba has a passion for the Mogalakwena community and says he will continue to drive the agenda of community upliftment started by his predecessors. “I am happy to be here, I have met a few people and I really appreciate the warm welcome I have received from the members of the community. I am looking forward to becoming part of this community, not just as a GM but being as a true member of the community. "I also very much look forward to getting to know the business community in this area. I’m sure that there are many things that we can accomplish together to make sure we uplift the communities. As a forum we can make sure we create an everlasting legacy.”
espite Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale’s recent re-election as provincial ANC chairperson, pressure mounts for his removal from the premier’s office. This follows Finance Minister Pravin Pressure to oust Premier Gordhan’s press conference last week were the extent of Limpopo’s financial woes were laid bare. Gordhan spoke to reporters for the first time on Thursday since Cabinet decided late last year to intervene in the running of at least five Limpopo provincial departments by placing them under administration. The reason for Cabinets’ intervention became apparent when Gordhan announced that: Limpopo will end the current financial year with a R2-billion shortfall; Unauthorized expenditure grew from R1.5billion in 2009 to R2.7-billion in 2011; The province owed suppliers R138 million, but that only half of these payments could be verified and approved for payment on 23 December. The provincial health department has projected overspending its budget by R461 million. In November 2011 the province asked the Treasury to increase its overdraft to R1.77-billion; Some service providers were being paid eight times in one month; and On many occasions payment was demanded without supporting documentation, such as invoices and contracts. “Throughout last year, National Treasury had cautioned the Limpopo provincial Treasury that the province would
not have sufficient cash to finance its 2011/12 budget obligations. The province had been spending beyond its means and this had to stop,” Gordhan said. The national government had since assisted in verifying payments and settling accounts with service providers, while a call has been made to health facilities to continue procuring essential services to ensure the smooth running of public health in the province. Mathale who chaired the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) meeting held in Polokwane on Sunday told members of the PEC: “We know and understand that this situation has had a hugely negative impact for various communities and we want to apologise profusely for any pain caused. We are working around the clock to resolve issues of payments and procurement of essential services to all communities.” In the meantime James Lorimer, Democratic Alliance shadow minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs said in a statement issued this week “Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale must take political responsibility for the crisis in Limpopo and resign. If Mathale is unwilling to go, then the ANC as a political party must get rid of him. Failure to do so indicates tacit approval for his kleptoadministration, or at least a failure to understand its seriousness.” But Mathale is clinging on to his position and along with the members of the provincial executive committee, he now blames national government’s intervention for the melt-down of service delivery in the province.

As ons die verval van dienslewering in ons provinsie nie elke dag aan die lyf gevoel het nie, sou die politieke verwikkelinge en moddergooiery tussen die provinsiale ANC leierskap en die nasionale regering nogal amusant gewees het. Kort nadat finansies minister, Pravin Gordhan, die Limpopo se finansiële en politieke vuil wasgoed voor die media uithaal, slaan ons provinsiale premier terug met ‘n power poging om populistiese simpatie te wen. Hy vra die mense van Limpopo kamma om verskoning vir die gebrekkige dienslewering wat die ‘inmenging van die nasionale regering’ veroorsaak. Wil iemand nie maar vir hom vertel dat Limpopo se dienslewering vir baie lank voor Pretoria ingegryp het vrot was nie? En dit is nie net op provinsiale vlak wat die politiek smerig en politici blatant in hul minagting vir die waarheid geraak het nie. Kyk nou maar hoe knoei die burgemeester van Mogalakwena om belastingbetalers se geld in te span om haar korrupte kollega se R200 000 skuld af te los. Dit nadat sy verlede jaar deur die provinsiale regering aangesê is om Thobejane se skorsing te handhaaf. As die demokrasie in SA in sy tienerjare is soos wat een politieke leier tydens die munisipale verkiesings verlede jaar gesê het, is hy in Limpopo ‘n voetstamperige kleuter.
Worth the effort? Read Psalm 19:7-11
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for . . . righteousness.” I once resolved to read all 38 of Shakespeare’s plays in one year. To my surprise, fulfilling the task seemed far more like entertainment than work. I expected to learn about Shakespeare’s world and the people who inhabited it, but I found that Shakespeare mainly taught me about my world. I went through precisely that same process in encountering the Old Testament. Why does it spend so much time on temples, priests, and rules about sacrifices
that no longer exist? How can we make sense of the Old Testament, and how does it apply to our lives today? As I worked past some of the barriers, I came to feel a need to read because of what it was teaching me. Eventually I found myself wanting to read those 39 books. They were satisfying a hunger in me that nothing else had. They taught me about life with God. The Old Testament speaks to our hunger. It gives an advanced course of “Life With God,” expressed in a style both personal and passionate. The rewards offered do not come easily. All achievements require a similar process of hard work; we persevere because the rewards will come. - By Philip Yancey of Our Daily Bread

As deel van die drie jaar lange vennootskap het Canon verlede jaar nuwe uitrustings aan die skeidsregters voorsien. Vanjaar bestaan die borgskap uit geld. Die vereniging het vanjaar ’n klompie nuwe lede bygekry en Canon se borgskap maak dit moontlik om ook aan hulle splinternuwe uitrustings te voorsien.
