Jan Alleman van Makhado (Louis Trichardt)
wat dalk enigiets tussen R6 000 en R20 000 per
maand verdien, se oë sal dalk rek as hy hoor wat
die stadsvaders in ‘n jaar huis toe neem.
Die Makhado Munisipaliteit se munisipale
be stuurd er, mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali, het in
die 2011/12 finansiële jaar ‘n totale pakket van
R874 324 ontvang; dit is so kort duskant R73 00
per maand. Van dié jaarlikse pakket was R487 333
die basiese jaarlikse vergoeding en R324 951 is
ontvang vir reis, motor, akkommodasie, verblyf
en ander toelae. Die oorblywende R62 040 was vir
medies, pensioenfonds en werkloosheidsversekering - almal belangrike items vir iemand in ‘n
SLK350 63 000km
verantwoordelike posisie wie se kontrak skielik
beëindig kan word. Daar kan egter genoem word
dat 2011/12 ‘n groot besparing getoon het. Die
vorige jaar het die munisipale bestuurder, mnr.
Shadrack Tshikalange, ‘n stewige R1.1miljoen
huis toe gevat.
Kort op die hakke van die munisipale bestuurder
se vergoedingspakket volg dié van die direkteur
van tegniese dienste, mnr. Thivho Ralulimi, met
‘n jaarlikse vergoeding van R832 508, wat so ‘n
rapsie meer as R69 000 per maand verteenwoordig.
Niemand sou Jan Alleman kwalik neem nie as hy
sou wens vir selfs net dié direkteur se jaarlikse
reistoelae van R262 254 nie.
‘n Groot verrassing is die 2011/12 pakket van die
direkteur van gemeenskapsdienste, mnr. Elias Mu-
gari. Hy troef selfs die munisipale bestuurder deur
R916 357 te ontvang. In die vorige boekjaar was sy
vergoeding R762 805. Die verskil kom eintlik in
by die feit dat dié direkteur ‘n prestasiebonus van
R84 120 ontvang het. Daar was net een direkteur
wat so ‘n bonus ontvang het.
Die direkteur van beplanning en ontwikkeling,
me. Dakalo Sinthumule, se jaarlikse pakket is
R791 178 of net duskant R66 000 per maand. Die
direkteur van korporatiewe dienste val in dieselfde
kategorie, met R789 738 per jaar.
Teenoor die direkteure lyk dit amper of die jong
hoof finansiële beampte, me. Mikateko Makhubela,
agter in die ry moes staan toe salarisse vasgestel is
met ‘n totale jaarlikse pakket van R671 037 (basiese
salaris R337 144). Makhubela het in Oktober ver-

lede jaar by die munisipaliteit aangesluit.
Die burgemeester, ‘n politieke aanstelling,
word net R637 103 per jaar betaal. Gelukkig kan
rdl. David Muthavatsindi gratis in die burgemeesterswoning bly en ‘n raadsvoertuig vir amptelike pligte gebruik. Hy en die speaker, rdl. Lindiwe
Lowane, kry elk ‘n kantoor en sekretariële bystand.
Die speaker kry R516 556 per jaar.
Die vergoeding van al die raadslede, insluitend
dié van die burgemeester en speaker, was R16 799
647 vir die boekjaar eindigende 20 Junie 2012.
Werknemer-verwante uitgawes het R171 883 712
bedra. Dis nou sonder die raadslede se vergoeding.
Die totale uitgawes van die munisipaliteit was meer
as R700 miljoen - R742 861 974 om presies te wees.

fout op te spoor en te herstel toe die pomp nie wou aanskakel nie.
´n rioollek naby die hoek van president- en ruhstraat. Hierdie lek loop
af na een van die VDM se nuut-toegeruste boorgate in presidentstraat
wat oor sowat twee weke water aan die dorp sal verskaf. Dié lek is reeds
verlede Donderdag opgemerk en onder die munisipaliteit se aandag
gebring. sondag het die stroom riool nog sterk geloop in die rigting van
die nuwe boorgat.
nog twee weke. Dit is hoe lank inwoners van Makhado (Louis trichardt)
sal moet wag voor daar weer water in
die dorp sal wees.
Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het saam
met ‘n groep afgevaardiges van die
Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit (VDM)
en verteenwoordigers van onderskeidelik
die Departement van Waterwese, plaaslike burgerregtegroep AfriForum en die
(SBBV) ‘n inligtingsessie gehad oor die
nuwe boorgate op die dorp.
Die vergadering het verlede Donderdag
plaasgevind, alhoewel die partye betrokke
verskil daaroor of dit ‘n inligtingsessie of
‘n onthullingsplegtigheid vir die nuwe
toegeruste boorgate was. Terwyl AfriForum en die SBBV uitgenooi is na ‘n onthullingseremonie van die nuwe pompe, is
die media genooi na ‘n inligtingsessie.
“Eenvoudig gestel: hierdie nuwe boorgatprojek is ‘n fiasko – ‘n monument vir
munisipale onbevoegdheid,” het plaaslike
AfriForum voorsitter mnr. Wally Schultz
gesê na afloop van Donderdag se gebeure.
Nie een van die vier pompe wat besoek is,
het gewerk nie. Uit twee van die pompe
het ‘n stroom vuil, bruin water gekom. Een
pomp wou glad nie aanskakel nie.
In terme van AfriForum se hofbevel
wat hulle in Oktober verlede jaar teen die
verkry het, moes hierdie boorgate reeds
in November toegerus gewees het met
pompe. Die hofbevel maak melding van
ses boorgate, maar tot op hede is net vier
boorgate toegerus. Die hofbevel het ook
beveel dat die pompe op 30 November aan
die waternetwerk gekoppel moes wees en
begin om die dorp met water te voorsien.
Die vier boorgate wat wel toegerus is,
is geleë in Kort-, Grobler-, President- en
De la Reystraat.
Donderdag het dit aan die lig gekom dat
daar nog “tegniese probleme” is met van
die pompe. Mnr. Tshifhiwa Masakona,
VDM se waarnemende senior bestuurder
vir waterdienste, het verduidelik dat dit ‘n
geleentheid was vir al die rolspelers om
hul griewe te lug oor die nuwe pompe. “As
julle ongelukkig is met iets op die pompe,
skryf dit neer, bring dit onder my aandag
en ons sal die probleme aanspreek,” het
Probleme wat toe wel Donderdag
opgemerk is by die nuwe pompe, was
onder andere lekkasies op die pypstelsels en elektriese foute. Daar is aan die
Zoutpansberger verduidelik dat al hierdie
probleme in twee weke se tyd reggestel sal
word. Hierna sal daar water aan die dorp
Omdat die pompe boorgatwater direk
aan die Mowkop reservoir sal verskaf,
is Masakona gevra of rioollekke naby
die boorgate nie die ondergrondse water
besoedel nie. “Ons het die boorgate getoets toe ons hulle geboor het. Na hierdie
operasies sal ons ouens kom en weer toets
... hulle sal dit van tyd tot tyd weer toets,”
Die nuwe pompe is egter net ‘n tydelike oplossing vir die waterkrisis waarin
die dorp hom al vir die afgelope paar jaar
bevind. Volgens Masakona sal die nuwe
boorgate, as hulle begin werk, die VDM
kans gee om die Albasinidam se vervalle
pypnetwerk te herstel. Geen melding is
gemaak van die nuwe reservoir wat in aanbou is of die langverwagte Nandonidampypleinprojek nie.
Op ‘n vraag oor ‘n tydsraamwerk vir die
herstelwerk aan die Albasini-pypleiding
het Masakona gesê dat hy nie daarop kan

gebeure is beskikbaar op www.zoutnet.
Salarisse vreet miljoene Rande
Die werknemer-verwante uitgawes
vorm 23% daarvan.
Met die vergoeding van die raadslede,
burgemeester en speaker daarby, word
dit opgestoot na 25% of ‘n bedrag van
meer as R188 miljoen. Daaraan dra die
man in die straat maar swaar en dit is
nie vreemd vir inwoners om te wonder:
Watter dienste kry hulle in ruil vir
hierdie massiewe salaris uitgawes?
Die totale inkomste van die munisipaliteit was amper R580miljoen, met die
presiese bedrag R579 849 815.
Die tekort was net meer as R163miljoen.

Crèche receives visit from
tennis icon Roger Federer
swiss tennis icon roger Federer visited the rural village of govhu outside
Malamulele on tuesday, and not for
tennis but to motivate the pupils of the
Federer, who is at present ranked the
second-best tennis player in the world,
and his support staff spent most of the day
with crèche staff. “I like working with
children. They are the same age as my kids
and they remind me of them,” he said.
He visited the village as part of the Read
Foundation’s crèche project. As part of the
project, he attended a class with the pupils
and also told them about the importance
of reading. Interestingly, when he showed
them a picture of a fox, the children all
said it was a dog.
When he was introduced, everyone
went crazy. Federer was mobbed frenziedly by the teachers and members of
the community, who appreciated the
presence of a world star from abroad in
One of the teachers, Ms Tsakani Mathebula, said that she and her fellow teachers were overwhelmed that someone like
Federer had come to their village. “The
children are ecstatic, as you can see from
the way they mingle with him,” she said.

bestaande prospekteerregte vir die projek te hersien, nadat hulle die Chapudi

het. Wysigings moes gedoen word aan

navorsing kan doen om die omvang en
gehalte daarvan te bepaal.
Die voorgestelde Soutpansberg-projek sal in die Vhembe Biosfeer geleë
wees en 95km ver strek van oos na wes.
Waterbronne wat geraak sal word deur
die projek sluit in die droë Sand- en Mutambarivier. As dié Soutpansbergmyn ‘n
realiteit word, sal dit ‘n oopgroefmyn
wees. Studies wat tydens dié eksplorasiefase gedoen sal word, sluit in grond,
grondgebruik en vermoë, biodiversiteit,
oppervlak en grondwater studies, asook
die impak wat die myn sal hê op die
erfenis, kultuur en sosio-ekonomiese
toestand van die omgewing.
Nadat die studies voltooi is, sal ‘n
konsep-omgewingsbestuursplan ingedien word waarop die publiek die kans

Louis Trichardt Landdroshof
Dié man het verlede Vrydag ‘n
borgaansoek gebring, nadat hy
reeds op 3 Februarie gearresteer
is en van verkragting aangekla
Die 15-jarige meisie het ‘n
klag by die polisie gaan indien,
nadat haar stiefpa haar glo langs
‘n verlate pad buite Polokwane
gedwing het om seks met hom
te hê. Volgens die inligting
verskaf sou die voorval op 3
pa, wat al 10 jaar met die dogter
Yaris Zen 1.3
se ma getroud is, woon en werk
op Buysdorp. Die man en meisie
was in Polokwane gewees vir
besigheid toe die voorval na be­
wering plaasgevind het.
Ná die voorval het die meisie
haar ouer suster gebel om haar
hospitaal toe te vat en ‘n verkla­
ring by die polisie te gaan aflê.
Die man is kort hierna gearresteer en in aanhouding ge­
plaas. Hy het Vrydag, tydens
sy borgaansoek, beweer dat sy
lewe in gevaar is vir so lank
as wat hy in aanhouding bly.

Die verhoor van ‘n sakeman van Makhado
(Louis Trichard), wat daarvan beskuldig
word dat hy honderde duisende rande van sy
werkgewer gesteel en uitgedobbel het, het vandeesweek begin.
Die 52-jarige Jacobus Christiaan Oosthuizen, alombekend as Jack, het Maandag in die
Streekhof hier verskyn. Hy het onskuldig gepleit
op die klag van diefstal teen hom. Oosthuizen se
medebeskuldigde, Jacques Julian Koch (36), wat
reeds op dieselfde klagte skuldig bevind is en
tans gevangenisstraf uitdien, het teen Oosthuizen
Koch is in Augustus 2011 ses jaar direkte
Hy het Maandag getuig
dat hy en Oosthuizen
meer as R200 000 se
kontant van kliënte verduister het. Hulle was
gedurende 2010 werksaam by Bridge Auto in
Makhado (Louis Trichardt) se tweedehandse
voertuigafdeling. Oosthuizen was ‘n bestuurder
gewees en Koch ‘n verkoopsman. Al die geld ter
sprake was afkomstig van Bridge-kliënte wat motors kontant gekoop of verkoop het.
Koch is, volgens sy getuienis, eerste uitgevang en
is voor stok gekry oor die geld wat weg is. Hy het
‘n skulderkenning geteken waarin hy onderneem
het om die geld in paaiemente aan sy werkgewer,
mnr. Rampie Gilfillan, terug te betaal.
“Jack het geweet van die geld ... hy het geweet
die geld is gesteel teen die tyd wat ek die skulder­
kenning geteken het. Hy het tot vir my raad gegee
en gesê my pa kan my help terugbetaal,” het Koch
Kort hierna het nog kliënte na vore gekom oor
hul geld wat hulle betaal het vir voertuie wat hulle
nooit ontvang het nie. “Ek het vir mnr. Gilfillan alles vertel. Ek het vir hom vertel dat ek en
Oosthuizen die geld gesteel het en met die meeste
gedobbel het,” het Koch gesê.
Oosthuizen sou glo die “briekwerk” doen, sou
daar vrae begin vra word oor die vermiste geld.
“Ons het tyd gehad om mee te speel.” Koch het
ook verder getuig dat hy van die gesteelde geld
aangewend het om vir homself dwelms mee te
koop. Hy het ook verder vertel dat Oosthuizen kort
vóór sy hofsaak vir hom
‘n voorbereide verklaring gebring het om te
teken en in te dien as ‘n
“Ek het nie hierdie
dokument geteken nie, want as mens dit mooi deurlees, sal mens sien dat Jack nêrens geïnkrimineer
word nie,” het Koch gesê. In hierdie verklaring, wat
by die hof ingedien is as bewysstuk, word Koch
alleen as sondebok uitgemaak. In hierdie verklaring
word ook melding gemaak van nog werknemers
wat geld van Bridge sou verduister het en ander
“ongerymdhede” in die maatskappy.
Nadat Oosthuizen se regspan Koch onder kruisverhoor geneem het, moes die saak egter uitgestel
word aangesien ander sake ook in die hofsaal
aangehoor moes word.

Die man se borgaansoek is
egter verder uitgestel toe hy
deur die Staat gepols is oor sy

“I don’t want to hear about who is responsible, Makhado or Vhembe… I want to open my tap
tomorrow morning and have water. When are we going to get water?” one resident said at the
water-shortage meeting in the Makhado show hall on 9 February. From left to right are Mr
Ratidzai Madimutsa, acting technical manager of the Vhembe district municipality, noting the
complaints of the community members, and Mr Thivho Ralulimi, Makhado Municipality’s
director: technical services.
Angry residents had a chance to voice their frustration with the lack of a consistent water supply
and the seeming incapacity of those who should provide water at a “shortage-of-water” meeting
in the Makhado show hall on 9 February. At an after-meeting, a threat followed to stop paying
Passing the buck, or rather the empty bucket,
was the order of the day at a recent “shortageof-water” meeting in the Makhado (Louis Trichardt) show hall.
and the seeming incapacity of those who should
At another meeting afterwards, a threat was
expressed that residents should stop paying for
“I don’t want to hear about who is responsible,
Makhado or Vhembe? I don’t want to hear about
four or six boreholes ... Providing water services is
your job. I want to open my tap tomorrow morning
and have water. When are we going to get water?”
said Mr Shai Nkoana, a resident of the town at the
meeting on 9 February.
The Makhado muni­
ci­p al manager, Mr
Sak­k ie Mutshinyali,
while awaiting the arrival of the Vhembe
services are a function of the Vhembe district municipality. Maybe the district should delegate the
water to Makhado, but Vhembe will then have to
give the money back,” Mutshinyali said. He said
that he had been told that the four new boreholes
had been electrified and were working.
The community was furious that the delegates
from Vhembe arrived an hour late as a result of
miscommunication. The acting technical manager
of the Vhembe district municipality, Mr Ratidzai
Madimutsa, eventually managed to start with his
presentation and said that one of the new boreholes
was up and running. Of the 18 existing boreholes,
only seven could currently augment the water
supply to Makhado because of “vandalism” of
the others. Madimutsa visited the Minister of
Water Affairs on 8 February regarding the water
supply to Makhado. “We don’t deny that we have
problems,” Madimutsa said and explained that,
at the Albasini plant, they had problems with
breakdowns of pumps and air valves and with the
turbidity of the water after the good rains. “We
had three shutdowns, where the contractors had
to shut down the water supply to do their work,”
Madimutsa said. He added that, for the past three
months, they communicated when they needed to
shut down the water.
The Albasini plant, however, cannot meet the
water demand. “We need the sector head of water
affairs to be in the meeting,” Madimutsa said
and added that the R35 million that had been allocated to get the Nandoni pipeline from Valdezia
to Mowcop was not sufficient to ensure proper
pipe sizes and quality work. The Department of
Water Affairs (DWA) is
responsible for the pipeline from the Nandoni
dam to Valdezia. Madimutsa indicated that he
would prefer DWA to do
the whole pipeline and
let the costs be covered
by a Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG).
The community was not satisfied with the “vandalism” excuse and threatened the municipalities.
“We had already spoken about the vandalism issue
last year in July. The community will stand up and
do what other communities do. If Vhembe doesn’t
take this seriously, we will take to the streets,” said
Mr Collen Maiyana of Makhado Park. Maiyana
also said that they wanted the full water management plan and that there were people with the
necessary intellectual and other skills to assist.
Members of the community stayed behind and
scheduled another meeting, where they decided
to write a memo. “We want to communicate our
intention to stop paying basic water charges and
water consumption,” said Mr Lawrence Makatu
of the Makhado Concerned Group.
“I want to open my tap

going to get water?”
Minister van Polisie moet weer opdok
Die Noord-Gauteng Hoog­
geregs­hof het verlede Donder­
dag (14de) gelas dat die Minister
van Polisie R220 000 skadevergoeding aan ‘n man moet betaal
wat ‘n Junie 2010 onregmatig
by die Beitbruggrenspos gearresteer en aangehou is.
Regter H. J. de Vos het dié
be­vel gemaak in die siviele saak
van mnr. Glifford Victor Cope,
‘n 36-jarige ambagsman, teen die
Minister van Polisie.
Cope is na sy arrestasie in ‘n
vraghouer, wat as tydelike sel
omskep is, ses dae lank saam
met tot 26 ander gevangenes
aangehou by die polisiestasie
in Musina. Die vraghouer was
volgens Cope bedompig en snags
yskoud. Ten spyte daarvan het
hy aanvanklik geen beddegoed
gekry nie en moes hy soos ‘n
sardientjie in ‘n blik langs sy
mede-aangehoudenes op die
plankvloer slaap. Hy is nie toegelaat om enigiemand te skakel
om hom by te staan nie en sy
werkgewer het eers ná vier dae
daarin geslaag om vas te stel dat
hy in die polisieselle in Musina
Die vraghouer waarin Cope
aangehou is, was vuil, die toilet
onbruikbaar en die water wat vir
die aangehoudenes beskikbaar
was, was te vuil om te drink.
Cope is ten spyte van sy versoeke nie binne 48 uur voor die
hof gebring soos wat deur die
Strafproseswet bepaal nie en is
eers na ses dae deur bemiddeling
van ‘n prokureur wat deur sy
werkgewer aangestel is, vryge-
laat. Hy is daarna met gastritis
gediagnoseer en moes binneaarse behandeling vir ontwatering
Benewens die R220 000 skade­
vergoeding, is die Minister van
Polisie gelas om ook Cope se
regskoste te betaal, asook 15,5%
rente per jaar op die skadevergoeding vanaf 23 September
Cope het ná die hofuitspraak
sy prokureurs, De Klerk en Marais Ingelyf van Pretoria, en sy
advokaat, Jurg Prinsloo SC van

The De Beers Group of Companies announced
last week that it will invest approximately R20
billion (US$2 billion) to build a new underground
mine beneath the currently operating open-pit
Venetia Mine north of the Soutpansberg.
When completed, the new underground mine
will extend the life of Venetia until 2042 and replace the open pit as South Africa’s largest diamond
mine. This announcement follows the receipt of
the final outstanding regulatory clearances earlier
The development and building phase of the
underground mine is expected to create 1 000 jobs
over the next nine years while open-pit mining
operations continue. Underground operations will
begin production in 2021, yielding approximately
96 million carats during the life of the mine, and
securing more than 3 000 jobs. The project will
employ semi-skilled and skilled workers, drawn
primarily from the region and trained for the
project, who will mostly be acquiring technical
skills that will enhance the country’s technical
skills resource base. The bulk of all equipment and
services will be sourced in South Africa.
“Our investment in Venetia enables us to provide
greater certainty around long-term supply for our
sightholders, particularly those with manufacturing
operations in South Africa. Our sightholders have
significant investments in the local cutting industry and this new underground mine will provide a
large and predictable supply of rough diamonds for
decades to come,” said Philippe Mellier, CEO of
the De Beers Group, in a press release.
Barend Petersen, chairman of De Beers Consolidated Mines (DBCM), said they saw this
significant capital investment as another concrete
example of their commitment to the South African
mining industry, an industry on which the South
African economy was built, following the discovery of diamonds in 1866. “Almost 150 years later,
the country is a diverse economy, while mining
remains an integral part of the aspiration to build
a more prosperous and equitable South Africa,”
The De Beers Venetia underground-project team
has been assessing the safest and most economic
options to extend the mining operations at Venetia
and unlock the extensive ore reserves beneath the
“Venetia will play a major role in the future of
De Beers and we have therefore been preparing for
years to meet tight deadlines and high standards, so
that Venetia Underground will be ready to begin
producing South African diamonds by 2021,” said
Phillip Barton, CEO of DBCM.
The Venetia Mine underground project was
approved in 2012 by the De Beers and Anglo
American Boards. Environmental authorisation
was granted in July 2012, and the Environmental
Management Plan was approved by the Department of Mineral Resources in October. The final
outstanding regulatory clearances were obtained

Businesses last in line
While site handovers have taken place with
regard to street-surfacing projects in eltivillas, the business complexes adjacent to the taxi
rank seem to be last in line and are not being
“These two complexes historically belonged to
the Indian community. The Makhado Municipality should maintain them systematically, then they
don’t have to fix things three times over. Everything
is temporary repair and move, temporary repair and
move - it is totally unsustainable,” said businessman Mr Mehul Patel.
Haphazard maintenance and an inadequate report
and reaction system came to the fore regarding the
condition of the tar in and around the complexes,
sewerage spillage and incomplete tree-cutting jobs.
“We pay our rates and taxes and the only benefit
we get from that is that they collect the rubbish,”

Staff members of Rooiwinkel accompanied the
Zoutpansberger to the street behind the business.
Employee Mr Lawrence Mathathe showed the
crumbling street surface that had once been a tar
road. In the meantime, two street-surfacing projects
worth R14 million and R11 million respectively are
underway in Eltivillas. The R14 million project was
launched on 7 February in the general Eltivillas
business area, including Vaal and Orient Street. The
R11 million project is for tarring 1.6km in Eltivillas Extension 1. The communication department
of the Makhado Municipality confirmed that “no
project had been launched” in the Eltivillas business complexes adjacent to the taxi rank.
The last two weeks of January saw sewage
overflowing at the Eltivillas business complex.
“With the sewage that overflowed, we were losing business here,” Patel said and added that they
had made their complaints to the municipality’s
civil engineering department. As a last resort, Patel
contacted the Director of Technical Services, Mr
Thivho Ralulimi, who came to the complex after
hours. “He made a couple of phone calls and the
guys came immediately. It took two weeks to come
out for a two-hour job. We appreciate the effort
of the director. Surely we don’t have to bring the
director out every time before we get results? We
all have businesses and know that you can’t keep
a director busy at grassroots level. It is dysfunctional. There must be a proper reporting system,”
Questions were put to the municipality on the
reporting system and poor reaction at grassroots
level. The municipality did not react to the general
questions about the report and reaction problems,
nor the details requested concerning regular maintenance of tar, sewerage, tree cutting and light bulbs,
but replied that the sewage blockage might not have
been reported at the right number. “Residents are
advised to report the sewage blockages to our call
centre on 015 516 2990,” municipal spokesperson
Mr Louis Bobodi said.
While site handovers have taken place with regard to street-surfacing projects in eltivillas, the
“historically Indian” business complexes adjacent to the taxi rank seem to be last in line and are
not systematically maintained. rooiwinkel employee Mr Lawrence Mathathe shows the crumbling

Wie gaan moet opdok
vir erosie van strate?
Wie gaan vir die skade betaal
indien die onafgewerkte straat­
kante van onklaar strate in
verder deur die reën beskadig
Na die onlangse goeie reëns
het dit gelyk of nuutgeteerde
strate, soos Munnik- en Stubbs­
straat, se kante al hoe meer begin
uitspoel. Die raadgewende inge­
nieurs van die projek het gesê
dat dit moontlik is dat daar skade
Gaan die belastingbetaler maar
weer moet opdok vir die regmaak van die skade? Nee, sê die
raadgewende ingenieurs. Hulle
meen die skade van die erosie is
vir die kontrakteur of sy verseke­
raar se rekening.
Mnr. Pieter Meiring, inge-­­
ni­eur van Dombo en Du Plessis
Raadgewende Ingenieurs, het
gesê dat dit ook afhang van die
graad van die skade en dat elke
insident op meriete geëvalueer
moet word. Uitkalwing van ‘n
halwe meter diep kan reeds skade
beteken. Waar daar geen rand­
stene of sementsypaadjie-afron­
ding is nie, kan water deursypel
na die basislae van die straat en
dit laat verswak.
Wanneer gaan die finale
afrondingswerk aan Munnik-,
Stubbs- en Andersonstraat dan
klaar wees? Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het bevestig dat die
kontrakteur na verwagting alle
uitstaande werk sal voltooi hê
teen die einde van Februarie.
Aanvanklik is daar gesê dat die
kontrakteur vroeg in Februarie
weer op terrein sal wees. “Die
kontrakteur sal die week wat op
22 Februarie eindig op terrein
wees om die randstene klaar
te maak en om enige skade wat
deur die reën veroorsaak is,
reg te maak,” het munisipale
woordvoerder mnr. Louis Bobodi
verlede week gesê.
Volgens die munisipaliteit is
‘n paar aspekte van die werk nog
onklaar. Die randstene in Stubbs-,
Munnik- en Andersonstrate moet
klaargemaak word. “Die herstel
van reënskade, slaggate en ander
werk wat daarmee geassosieer
word” is nog uitstaande, asook
die merk van die strate en die
oprig van die padtekens. ‘n Bitumen-emulsie sproei (fog spray)
moet nog op die oppervlakte van
Devenish-, Grobler- en Presidentstraat aangewend word en
slaggate in daardie strate herstel
word. Meiring het bevestig dat
die slaggate in gedeeltes van dié
strate herstel sal word, aangesien
die gebeurlikheidsfonds daarvoor aangewend sal word.
het aangedui dat hulle die finale
afrondings aan al die strate van
die projek belangrik ag. “Die
projek word as ‘n hoë prioriteit
met die nodige dringendheid
hanteer,” het Bobodi gesê. Die
projek in Andersonstraat (ongeveer een blok) is al amper 15
maande oud. Stubbsstraat is in
April verlede jaar omgedolwe,
met Munnikstraat tussenin.
Die raadgewende ingenieurs
het gesê dat laatbetalings van die
munisipaliteit ‘n rol gespeel het
in die stadige vordering. Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het bevestig
dat kontrakteurs se betaling op

Vhembe continues to
miss water deadlines
A quest for water: Vhembe’s roleplayers met with Afriforum of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on 7
February. In the meantime, AfriForum has started pursuing further legal steps. From left to right
are Mr Lucas Manyuwa, technical portfolio head of the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM),
Mr Masala Makumule, municipal manager of the VDM, Mr Lampie Scoeman (AfriForum), Mr
Wally Schultz (chairperson of the local AfriForum), Prof Ben van der Waal (AfriForum), Ms
Cecilia Mashaba (the Department of Water Affairs’ acting director of water services) and Mr
Phillip Olivier (secretary of AfriForum Louis Trichardt). Some of the VDM roleplayers had
already left when the photo was taken.
“Life without water is no life at all”
President Str. 124, Louis Trichardt, Makhado. Tel: 079 492 2215 or 015 516 0124
It is a hot day in Magau village in the Sinthumule area
and jobless women and men
sit under trees, discussing the
lack of water in the village.
Their talk, however, goes no
more than beyond the borders
“We have been without water ever since November last
year,” says a concerned resident,
Rendani Mulaudzi. “Life without
water is no life.”
Another resident, Ms Florah
Makongoza, says that life is
hard for her as a mother and
grand­mother who has to raise
grandchildren in a dry village.
“We can hardly bathe the little
ones,” she says. “Some of us are
unemployed and cannot afford to
boreholes at their homes.”
Makongoza adds that residents
don’t even know the relevant
departments to which they should
take their complaints or request
water. According to Makongoza,
the municipality said that most
parts of the water system was
damaged and vandalised by
thieves who had stolen the copper taps to sell to scrapyards for
cash, and that if they tried to open
the water, it would overflow in
“They requested us to buy security caps to lock all our taps,”
she says in a disturbed voice.
“They said they would open the
water in January, but they haven’t
done that so far”.
When the Zoutpansberger
contacted Cllr Selinah Mamatsiari (Ward 23) for comment,
she acknowledged that there is
currently no water in the village.
“I can’t say that the problem is
with the municipality as such,”
“I had phoned the people who
are responsible for water services
in the village, namely Stella and
Mr Mukosi (at Ha-Ramantsha
water control station). One would
refer me to the other and vice
versa, and they are now ignoring
The scarcity of water is affecting a large part of the Sinthumule
and Kutama area, and some of
the directly affected villages are
Madombidzha and Tshiozwi.
Ward 22 councillor Mr David
Davhana says that residents and
the ward committees in the area
understood very well that the lack
of water in the area did not stem
from a human’s making. “The
area is dry,” he said. “But I have
talked with the municipality’s
technical director, Mr Thivho
Ralulimi, about the lack of water.
He said he had spoken with Mr
Mukosi and that he (Mukosi)
would come to us. To date, Mukosi hasn’t come to us.”
According to Cllr Davhana, the
municipality was doing its best
to deliver services to the people.
“Unfortunately, those stationed at
the Ha-Ramantsha water control
office are not doing their job,”
The Cope branch in Vhembe
about how the plight of the
Magau residents in particular is
seemingly being ignored. Cope
chairperson Cllr Geoffrey Tshibvumo said that he had visited
Magau village and that he was
appalled by the total lack of water
Residents say that water tankers are only delivering water to
Zuma and Mandela extensions.
“These tankers are not delivering
enough water, and they do it only
on Mondays,” said one resident
In the battle to get water supplied to the dry
taps in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), AfriForum
posed a final deadline of 17 February which, according to them, had been “casually missed” by
the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM).
Attorney Werner Human of Hurter and Spies
Attorneys in Pretoria confirmed this week that
they had received instruction from AfriForum to
proceed with legal steps of contempt of court. “We
came so near to providing water permanently, but
unfortunately the municipality faded out,” said
Human in an email on 19 February.
“They do not understand the concept of meeting
a deadline. My friend Masala [VDM’s municipal
manager Masala Makumule] is convinced that having achieved 50% of the goals in the court order
represents a pass and they are now off the hook. He
has said it so many times that I believe we cannot
make more progress. I am shattered but determined
to see it through to the end. If cooperation can’t do
it, then what choice do we have but to use the law
in its strongest possible way?” local AfriForum
chairperson Mr Wally Schultz said on Tuesday.
Was Vhembe aware of the final deadline? Mr
Masala Makumule referred the Zoutpansberger
to Vhembe’s water services manager, Mr Eric
Masakona. “Yes, we are aware of the deadline.
But what is it that we didn’t do?” said Masakona
in a telephonic interview on Tuesday. Masakona
made an alarming statement that, with or without
a court order, the Albasini dam’s water supply of
120 litres per second was never going to be enough.
“It is about only enough for the prison. I’m putting
my head on the line now, but with the current
infrastructure, the demand will always outstrip
the supply, unless we get water from the Nandoni
dam,” Masakona said.
Masakona said that it was his personal view
that they had met the 17 February deadline and
submitted a report in that regard on the 15th. “We
have completed the boreholes, did the debushing
of the pipeline to the Albasini Dam and doing the
prescribed hours’ water supply. We only missed
some of the target dates,” Masakona said.
During a meeting between AfriForum, VDM
roleplayers and the Department of Water Affairs’
acting director of water services on 7 February,
Schultz and his team attempted to reinforce the
concept that the court order had to be complied with
100% in order to avoid contempt of court. “Focus
on the court order,” Schultz told Makumule.
“My interest is to supply water. Even if there
were no court order, my response would be the
same. Our strategic focus and objective are to ensure regular and reliable operation and maintenance
of water and sanitation to Makhado. We have a
residential contractor at the Albasini Dam and we
are trying to pool every resource to get water to
town,” Makumule said after the meeting.
Makumule’s response about the meeting was that
they were checking “areas to improve, especially
Prof Ben van der Waal of AfriForum Louis
Trichardt was satisfied that the relevant roleplayers
had pitched up for the meeting since the “people
say that the water situation is worse now than
Lampie Schoeman of AfriForum wanted the
community to phone the Vhembe role players if
they do not have water, instead of phoning AfriForum, which does not have the authority to supply
water. The Vhembe Municipal Manager’s number
is 082 772 3256, the Vhembe water services manager’s number is 082 453 6484, the number of the
acting technical manager of Vhembe, Mr Ratidzai
Madimutsa, is 076 299 5973 and the DWA director’s number is 082 802 7737.
The Makhado SAPS have arrested a 19-year-old
suspect in connection with a number of housebreaking and theft cases, which happened in the
According to the spokesperson for the police,
Capt Maano Sadiki, Knowledge Makome faces
charges relating to theft which took place on 9,
11 and 12 Febrauary along Rissik and Kleynhans
Street. He is alleged to have gained entry into the
properties illegally and stolen household items,
such as electrical appliances. “The same suspect
was also linked with possession of suspected
stolen property after he was cornered by members
of the public, who later alerted the police,” said
Makome appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court and his case was postponed to 8 March
for further investigation. He remains in custody.

f someone asked you to repeat the words
of John 3:16 I’m sure you would be able
to do so. It is the best-known and best-loved
verse in the Bible. It tells us of God’s great
love for this world of sinners.
God loved His creation so dearly that
He sent His only Son into the world to
die for people whom He would save.
The best-known Psalm is Psalm 23.
This Psalm is about God the Shepherd,
who cares for His sheep. It seems that
every Christian has a favourite section of
the Bible. One small portion of Scripture
that I particularly love is the passage
found in today’s reading. Look at verses
10 and 11 of Isaiah 40 and think hard
Today’s passage is about the character
of God. We know our God is all-powerful. Our God is the Almighty Ruler of the
universe. In verse 11 we find something
different in the character of God. Our
strong, all-powerful, holy God is also
a gentle God. Think about our majestic
God who rules all things and hates sin.
How wonderful and reassuring it is to
read the word of Isaiah 40:11.
Our great God deals with us as a loving shepherd who looks after his sheep.
If you belong to Jesus, you van call Him
Father. This is a wonderful privilege. It is
our God who saved His people through
the work of His only Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ. It is our God who one day will
give us the new heavens and the new
earth to be our home forever. And He will
always care for us as a good Shepherd
watching over His sheep.
