Transformer to up the powerDesmond Boshego

ESKOM Polokwane commissioned a newly built substation at Boyne after a process that started last year.

Spokesperson for Eskom in the province, Dikgabane Rampedi, said he believes the 2x20 MVA transformers will assist villages around Ga-Molepo and Mamabole as a whole to have enough capacity as well as connecting new electrifi cation projects.

“The newly refurbished substation has brought relief in terms of capacity to the areas which would also reduce unnecessary unplanned outages,” said Rampedi.

He said the R40 million substation was built in order to improve the provision of the supply of the electricity in the Molepo area.

“ Before the commissioning of Boyne substation, the customers in the area were fed from a 10 MVA mobile substation which was unreliable and caused a number of outages during unfavourable weather conditions. It is with a great hope that the 2x 20 MVA substation will mitigate the problem by ensuring the security of electricity supply,” he said.

He said Polokwane zone prided itself on the commissioning the Boyne Substation.

“Currently, 15 000 customers are fed

from the 10 MVA Mobile substation which results in a number of power cuts to the Molepo area. The new load will feed approximately 15 000 customers and three large tower users namely Stephen Lumber Mills, the ZCC church and St Engenas ZCC church,” he said

A Moamabolo resident, Refi lwe Machaka said the substation will bring relief to consumers.

“We have been struggling for a long time.

“As winter approaches we can say now we are safe from the cold weather. Eskom has played a very huge part towards us and that feels good,” she [email protected]

The newly built Boyne substation will serve villages around Ga-Molepo and Mamabole as a whole.

R316,2m for Lim LegislatureCheryllee Hannam

THE Limpopo Legislature was allocated a budget of R316,2 million for the 2016/2017 fi nancial year, an R8,4 million increase compared to the 2015/2016 adjustment budget.

Speaker of the Limpopo Legislature, Polly Boshielo, said the budget has been allocated to three programmes within the Legislature, administration, facilities for members and political parties and parliamentary services.

The administration programme is there to provide strategic leadership and administrative support to the Legislature.

A budget of R119,3 million has been allocated to this programme for the 2016/2017 fi nancial year, which is a R95,8

million increase compared to the 2015/2016 budget.

The purpose of facilities for members and political parties is to provide for the payment of remuneration, claims, constituency allowance and protocol services for members. The budget for this programme has been reduced to R124,2 million for the 2016/2017 fi nancial year compared to R143,4 million in the 2015/2016 fi nancial year.

Report damaged street signs - muniRiana Joubert

DETERIORATING and damaged street signs are becoming common sight in the city.

Two such signs are found on the corner of Grimm and Grobler streets.

“These signs are supposed to direct traffi c to one of the busiest roads. It is seen by everyone and besides from directing people into the wrong direction it looks really bad. I can only imagine what tourists must think when they see signs like these in a city that is the capital of Limpopo, a tourist’s paradise,” passerby Emanuel Khala told Review.

Municipality spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene said on a previous occasion that the municipality regularly replaces damaged street signs. She said the replacement of the signs sometimes depends on the availability of the needed materials which may delay the process of taking down a sign and replacing it.

She appealed to residents to report damaged and especially vandalised signs to the municipality to make sure that they get the needed attention.

Sign boards like these on the corner of Grimm and Grobler streets tarnish the city’s image, one resident says.

AFTER more than a decade of debate and discussions on whether the Limpopo Legislature should move to Polokwane or not, a decision was made that the Legislature will relocate to Polokwane.

The Limpopo Legislature together with the Limpopo Department of Treasury and the Department of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure are exploring the best Public, Private Partnership (PPP) model that will ensure that the building costs are fair and reasonable, without overburdening the provincial fi scus over time.

“The relocation will ultimately bring the necessary effi ciencies in our work in terms of time and cost.

“The fi nal migration of the Legislature to Polokwane will begin in earnest during this fi nancial year.

“In this regard we wish to thank the Executive Council under the leadership of Premier Stanley Mathabatha, for taking such a bold decision,” Boshielo said.

Employees of the Limpopo Legislature who spoke to Review on condition of anonymity welcomed the move of their offi ces to Polokwane and thanked management for making this decision.

“A lot of us live in the Polokwane, Seshego, and Mankweng areas and spend a lot of money on transport to and from work daily.

“For some transport costs are so much that they rather rent rooms in Lebowakgomo and go home ones a month, as this works out cheaper for them rather than travelling everyday.

“With the move to Polokwane we will also be able to get home earlier and spend more time with our families, now we leave Lebowakgomo at 16:30 and only arrive at home after 18:00,” the employees [email protected]

SOUTH Africa has a serious shortage of doctors and specialists, which has a direct impact on Limpopo.

To ensure that this does not affect the quality of healthcare received by patients, MEC for Health, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, welcomed 22 new Cuban doctors to Limpopo’s healthcare last Friday.

This brings the number of Cuban doctors in the province to 57.

“We bring in these doctors to assist us in implementing preventative healthcare at our facilities.

“The doctors are expected to treat the patients holistically and should be the people’s doctor.

“These doctors will not only focus on the disease that has been brought to their attention by the patients, but also check on the cause and related diseases to ensure we prevent future outbreaks,” Ramathuba said.

She added that along with the placement of Cuban doctors at the regional hospitals, the number of referrals to Ga-Rankuwa Hospital has reduced by approximately 50%.

“The presence of the Cuban doctors assists in the provision of seminars and continued training for all doctors in the regional hospitals.

“They are expected to organise and give lectures to other doctors in their fi eld of study, this keeps them, and other doctors up

What to do, what you need if your child goes missingRiana Joubert

RECENTLY Polokwane residents were shocked when the disappearance of a teenage boy ended in tragedy.

With this in mind, police in the city have asked BONUS to help inform the community of what steps should be followed when a child goes missing.

Missing Children South Africa (MCSA) has recently updated their website to give parents the best possible assistance in the situation where a child goes missing. They set out a few easy steps to follow when a child goes missing:1. Do not wait 24 hours before opening a missing persons report.2. Complete the SAPS 55 form at the nearest police station with all the information needed.3. Contact MCSA on 072 647 7464 to spread the word and to help in locating the missing child.

4. Make note of the following very important information:• Name of the child.• Age of the child.

• Situations surrounding the missing child.• The case number of the police station.• Police details including the name of the police offi cial who assisted you.• The most recent photo of the missing child.• Contact number of the person to be called once the child has been found.

It has happened in the past that people have made use of the MCSA website but did not update

the site with information when the child was found.

Police ask that when a child has been found that police and the website will be updated and informed to stop the unnecessary use of resources which could be applied to the search of other missing [email protected]

BEING born in a rural village with limited resources did not stop Fhatuwani Innocent Lidzebe from working hard to realise his dream of being a political reporter.

“In my Gr 12 year in 2005 I fell in love with media, especially political media, after I watched a SABC political reporter in action during the State of the Nation Address.

This motivated me to study towards a BA Political Science degree to help make my dream a reality. I completed my matric with fl ying colours and I am on my way to reaching my goal with the completion of a BA International Relations degree at the University of Venda (Univen),” he says. After completing matric, he left Limpopo and headed to Gauteng looking for greener pastures. He worked as a general fi sh shop assistant at a supermarket for fi ve months.

He returned to Limpopo and became a reporter for Makhado FM in 2012 and was soon given the opportunity to host a show as a current affairs specialist.

However, the living expenses in

Makhado was too expensive and after eight months with the station he left to become a taxi driver which he did for two years. “It was a diffi cult decision to make, but I believed the experience I gained during my time at the station will one day help me to realise my dream. The experience I received from working under radio veteran, Martha Makhela was priceless. After my time as a taxi driver, I joined the Ngoho

News, a local Tshivenda newspaper as a freelancer and joined Univen Community Radio as a news anchor in 2014.”

He said it does not matter what path your life takes as long as you do not lose sight of your dreams and slowly but surely work towards making them a reality.

“Besides being in radio, I am a prominent local programme director and the youngest member of the Executive Committee of the Fountain Christian Church Ministry. I believe radio will give me the opportunity to become a political reporter,” he [email protected]

The appointment of the Cuban doctors have reduced the workload on other doctors in the province, Ramathuba said.

“It is encouraging that most hospitals stated that the mortality rate has decreased.

“In the regional hospitals, the presence of the Cuban doctors has assisted in the departmentalisation process and also in the establishment of specialist clinics.

“We are confi dent that through their hard working spirit, we can ultimately better the lives of our communities with the implementation of the curative healthcare approach,” Ramathuba [email protected]

Buckets full of fish bring loads of fun Moyahabo Mabeba

THE prospect of lucrative fi shing as enterprise in Limpopo seems rather dubious, but not for a small group of elderly men in the Seshego area.

Matome Thoka along with fellow pensioners gather at Seshego dam at around 09:00 and only retire from their fi shing expeditions at sunset.

For Johannes Chokoe, it is a renewed experience he recalls from his childhood.

“My passion for fi shing began when I was merely six years old in the backwaters of Moletjie, fi shing with my late grandfather.”

Chokoe says that while the other boys from the village preferred hunting with dogs, he was quite content to spend his days on the water.

“My grandfather and I spent most of our time at the nearby river, enjoying fi shing.

“From the time I put my fi rst crawler on the hook to the fi rst perch was caught - my heart raced with excitement.

“I still have the same feeling of excitement with each fi sh I catch today,” Chokoe says, smiling.

They say the state of the dam allows them to take a magnifi cent boat tour and enjoy their activity.

The watercourse between Zones 4 and 5 also has great potential for eco-fi shing with lovely trips through the calm, mousy waters.

The pensioners bring along relish to bait the fi sh and beer for themselves to enjoy while they wait for the fi sh to bite in the calm, noiseless atmosphere.

As for the scaly creatures that slither around on the riverbanks, Chokoe says they aren’t too worried.

“We have great mutual respect for the reptiles and since we don’t bother them, they will never harm us,” he muses.

Venomous reptiles – iguanas, mambas, cobras, pythons and rattlesnakes inhabit the space around the dam but have yet to attack any of the fi shermen.

Thoka exclaims: “You will feel the thrill of a real challenge with lots of adventure in places surrounded by stunning beauty and intoxicating peace.

“It is something that all of us should experience at least once in our lifetimes.”

Some of the fi shermen are retired professionals and now enjoy their pension payouts while taking pleasure in fi shing.

When the sun sets on the distant horizon, the men happily make their way home with buckets full of largemouth bass, kurper, carp and barbell fi sh.

House of Asante spoils TLC momsRaeesa Kimmie

TOO often we neglect taking care of ourselves because we’re too busy taking care of others; this is a daily reality for many of the mothers of the Tough Living with Cancer (TLC) patients at the Pietersburg Provincial Hospital.

To reward these mothers for their sacrifi ce, House of Asante played host to four deserving mothers from TLC, pampering

them for the day. Juliah Ramano, Rachel Thoka, Kganetgo Moyo and Lizzy Kgamo were driven to the spa where they were well taken care of by the expert technicians who treated them to back, neck and foot massages. Owner of House of Asante, Mathlaka Bopape, says she jumped at the opportunity to host the women at her spa. “Imagine having to be in their situation and in that environment all day every day. We’re not going to permanently change their situation,

but we can make them feel better and extra special for a day.” She says the spa treat was a way of letting them know that there are people out there who care about them.

Bobby Were, TLC facilitator, says the mothers absolutely loved their treatments.

“For some of the mothers, it was their fi rst time having spa treatments and they came back so relaxed, I’m truly grateful to the House of Asante for their help,” he says. [email protected]

BEING completely blind doesn’t mean this talented DJ cannot do what others who have their full sight can do.

Bongani DJ Phobia Mbambo is a successful DJ who originally hails from Bethlehem in the Free State. He made his debut onto the entertainment industry in 2005 with the help of DJ Christos and Black Coffee.

“DJ Christos and Black Coffee played a crucial role in my career, they taught me everything I needed to make it as a DJ. I usually play hit tracks and sign-alongs so I can hear the crowd’s response. If the response is great I continue playing songs they know and love,” said Mbambo.

He told BONUS he knows which music to play and select by placing his CD’s in a specifi c order which he memorises which

makes his task easier.“I don’t really encounter problems

while playing - my fans love my music and they often come up to shake my hand or chat with me after I fi nished playing and this means a lot to me.”

He said being a success in the music industry is all about not giving up and working hard to reach your dreams. “It keeps me going because people love what I’m doing. I started out playing music from vinyl records which was easier as most vinyls had two to three tracks on them which made it easier to plan my playlist, but I’m managing to keep up with the times,” he said.

His passion helps groom future scientists

Nelson Mothoa

“EDUCATERS are the pillars of society.”Mahlabe Radira Moses, a teacher at

Seritarita Secondary School in Mapela outside Mokopane, is passionate about mathematics and science.

The 46-year-old was attracted to the subjects while still a young boy in primary school.

“Now, I love discussions with learners and the misconceptions they have regarding science,” he said.

Mahlabe spends 10 hours a day, 50 hours a week teaching learners in school and his goal is to produce as many scientists as possible.

This objective is clearly paying off, with one of his former learners currently studying medicine in Cuba.

“This is what makes me feel good about being a teacher and helping to make a difference in learners’ lives,” he said.

He enjoys teaching Grs 10 to 12 most, as this is the time where the work gets a little hard.

“If they can get everything done well in Gr 10, the job would be simple for them in following grades.” he explained.

He reiterates the importance of maths and science: “It helps people to think quickly and to come up with solutions.”

Moses says if he were to be a circuit manager in his region, he would formulate and implement paperless teaching and learning.

“Everything must be done electronically (submission and communication). I would also introduce online teaching and request government to supply each and every school with tablets instead of computers.”

This enthused teacher is studying towards an honours degree in management, through Unisa.

If parents encourage their children to pursue maths and science, they will thank themselves later, is his advice.

In his spare time, Radira likes to surf the internet and watch National Geographics programmes on television.

He is also a football coach for a local team known as City Black Football Club based in Mosesetjane village. [email protected]

‘The people need change’- Cope Riana Joubert

“OUR country and our people need and deserve a president who will put his people fi rst and cater to his own needs last and we can start making this happen during the Local Municipal Elections.”

This is the powerful message of Congress of the People (Cope) Leader, Patrick Sikhutsi, during his interview with BONUS about the upcoming municipal elections set to take place in August and his party’s plans on garnering votes.

He tells us that election representatives, regional election teams and ward election teams are out in the fi eld informing voters of just how powerful their individual votes are in changing their municipalities and lives for the better.

“I appeal to every resident to make their voices heard and to make their mark at the upcoming municipal elections.

At the end of the day the election is to better the lives of the people living in our country and not just for political parties to

benefi t themselves. Whichever party wins the election, they must be prepared to be responsible for the needs and well-being of every single resident in their ward,” Sikhutsi

said.He said that Cope is specifi cally looking

for areas where service delivery is a big issue and educating the people in these areas

that they need to vote to be able to change and improve their situation.

They should also hold the winning party accountable after the elections to deliver on their promises and to provide the needed service delivery in their areas.

Sikhutsi said voting in municipal elections is one of the most important things to bettering their circumstances and their lives. Each resident is responsible to make their mark and raise their voice for change, no one else can do it for them.

He said Cope’s mission is simple: the plan to carry the needs of the people in their community and wards close to their hearts and strive daily to improve their lives.

They will always act in the best interest of the people, no matter the cost, and councillors will be removed if they do not uphold their promises and values.

“We need to look at spending less money on ourselves and our delegates and using the money to see to the needs of our voters,” Sikhutsi concluded. [email protected]

Countdown to Local Municipal ElectionsCheryllee Hannam

REGISTRATIONS for the Local Government Elections closed this weekend and the countdown to the voting day, 3 August has began.

This is the fi rst Local Government Elections in which the EFF will contest.

EFF Limpopo Secretary, Jossey Buthane, said they are ready for the elections and will contest in all the municipal wards in the province.

“People are not getting basic service delivery like water, electricity and tarred roads, this is unacceptable and the EFF plans to change this as soon as we win the elections. Our goal is to dominate in all municipalities and failure is not an option, because the EFF aims to serve the people. This will be our fi rst Local Government Elections and it is a great opportunity for us to test the strength and growth of our organisation,” Buthane said.

He added that there are villages without libraries, and that is one of the services the EFF will bring closer to the people once they are in power.

The DA announced that they have 700 candidates across the province who will represent the party in the Local Government Elections.

DA Limpopo Leader, Jacques Smalle, said the DA completed their candidate selection process to ensure the best possible elected councillors will work for the communities to accelerate service delivery.

“The candidates will usher in a new era of change, good governance and quality services to the people of Limpopo in various municipalities. These candidates are ready to lead and promote an

environment of freedom, fairness and opportunity. The DA believes that the team is diverse, dynamic, competent, committed, capable, passionate and ready to lead. This year the DA’s commitment to good governance, job creation and corruption-fi ghting will be the reason for change in our municipalities,” Smalle said.

Congress of the People (Cope) Limpopo Leader, Patrick Sikhutshi, said they have looked forward to the announcement of the date of the elections.

“We plan to contest all wards and the 48 councillors we have in the province are fi elded again for the next term. We decided to keep them for the experience they have and that they were indeed of service to the communities they represented,” Sikhutshi said.

He added that voters should vote for Cope because the party is formed to fearlessly defend the constitution of the country and believes no one is above the constitution including parliament.

“If we are not in power, we are prepared to hold the executives accountable. If we are elected to run the

municipalities, we shall provide a better government, one which residents deserve, by appointing competent staff and using fi nances to prioritise the fundamental needs of communities in a sustainable manner which should in turn grow the economy of the municipalities and we shall account to the electorates regularly,” Sikhutshi said.

He urged voters to know the constitution places the power in their hands and as such they should use this to remove non performers even after elections.

After fi ve years of studying and perseverance, Malema has fi nally completed his BA degree in Communications and African Studies. On the evening of his graduation, Unisa Vice Chancellor, Prof MS Makhanya, conferred, in full view of other graduates, a BA degree on Julius Sello Malema. Dressed in an imported crystal grey tailor-made suit, Malema was beaming with jovial smiles and historic joy. Today I have decided to cast away any political considerations and heap congratulatory words on Juju boy. I’m aware that there are some citizens who think my analyses on Malema and the EFF are ultra-critical. The most sacred truth is that Juju and I have always been friendly towards each other. We are neither enemies, foes nor adversaries. I challenge any person to approach Malema and quiz him: “Is there any enminity or rivalry between you and political analyst, Elvis Masoga?” Without mincing any words, Malema would assure and reassure that person that there is no enmity or rivalry between us.I once authored in a newspaper in 2011 that: “Juju has a potential to become a great leader but his powerful weakness is his lack of intellectual calculus.” He should utilise the knowledge he acquired at Unisa to bring empiricism, decorum and pragmatic realism to the EFF politics. In all fairness, the current brand of EFF politics is uncouth, too Utopian, stone-aged and comically adventurous. It is now his intellectual duty to ascertain that his party is no longer associated with political thuggery, anarchy and juvenile adventurism. Anarchy and belligerence are a powerful antithesis of democracy and constitutionalism.Lastly, I strongly suspect that before the end of this year, Malema would amend the EFF constitution.I harbour a great pity and sympathy for other ambitious leaders and members of the EFF who do not have a BA degree because very soon they may be rendered ineligible to stand for any leadership position in the party.I kindly wish to congratulate Malema on his academic achievement and I sincerely urge him to further his studies and enroll for an Honours degree. As a nation, we should begin to congratulate any person who acquires a scholastic, academic and intellectual achievement.

Malema is now a university graduate

What’s on my mind

I do not need to know this

- Mogomane Seabi

OversharingI MISS life before social media. This was a time when I did not know that my neighbour’s daughter does not like pumpkin-fl avoured Purity, what my friend ate on her date or that the girl I sat next to in Gr 9 maths class in 1999 has a new hairstyle. I did not know this, and most importantly, I do not need to know this. Go through your social media feed on any given day and this is what you will fi nd. Be it Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, people are constantly sharing little tidbits of their lives. You would swear they are the only ones with camera phones.I get that some people have friends and family overseas and other places that no sane person should ever move to, but where do we draw the line at keeping loved ones updated and just plain old oversharing? I don’t want my timeline to be fi lled with pictures of my colleague’s three-year-old daughter. Cute as your child (or puppy or kitten or whatever else you hold dear) may be, I don’t need to know about their milestones. Save that for grandma. All this oversharing has turned us into a vain society. We want to show off, portraying to those who scroll past our timelines that we live amazing lives.Things have gotten so bad people are checking-in at church and the local fast food place! What happened to us as a people?To those of you who are fortunate enough to take a holiday every three months, good on you, but please stop taking pictures of every little damn thing, especially your lunch.And remember that with every check-in, every post of your cute daughter or nephew, and with every post of your new shoes and new car, it’s not just your ex and former classmates who are watching, it’s also paedophiles, thieves and SARS agents.

Leave your past in the pastEASTER has just passed where millions of Christians all over the world celebrated the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. What fascinates me is a petition by one of the criminals crucifi ed with Jesus on the cross, “Remember me when you come into your Kingdom,” (Luke 23:42).

Here is a man deserving punishment on the cross due to his terrible criminal offences. Maybe he had killed people, abused women, done all sorts of atrocious crimes; the wrongs he did justly lands him where he never thought he could see himself.

Amazing though, is that he had even lost his original name, he is now called a “criminal”.

“Hey, Serial Killer come and eat!Hey Thief its dinner time! Hey Trickster,

it’s time to go to church! Hey, you Gossiper lets go to town.” Every time they called this man, they were calling him according to

his characteristics. This man lived up to his name until he met Jesus on the cross.

Although he was at the shadow of the point of death, feeling agonising pain but he realised that he was at the right place – with

Jesus at the Cross. He immediately asked for forgiveness,

“Jesus, remember me. I once was part of your worship community, I knew you, I enjoyed an unshakeable relationship with

you. But I fell from grace and committed wrongs. So forgive me. Jesus immediately looked at him and said, “Today you will be with me in paradise.” He never looked at him the way the world did. The world saw someone beyond repair, a sinner, but Jesus saw his child, a person created in his image, deserving forgiveness. Readers, the look of Jesus is different than the look of man. I beg of you, don’t be weighed down by the distractions and disappointments in life. What you are yet to experience in the future is much more important than what is behind you. No matter what you have done in the past, no matter what your family, friends and church goers have concluded about you, just know that Jesus’ eyes are looking at you and He is prepared to welcome you into his paradise.

Your analysis and observations maybe true, but it doesn’t do you any good to put yourself down. Put your past in the past. Quit condemning yourself.

He never looked at him the way the

world did - Rev John Mokoena

Rose among the thornsVella Nyoni

“I NEVER thought I’d fall in love with being on the radio but then it helped me discover a side I never thought I had.”

The vibrant 24-year-old Rose Rampola is a DJ on Energy FM and hosts the City Drive alongside Thabo Sebashe Mondays to Fridays from 15:00 to 18:00.

She says her journey of becoming a DJ all started when she was a student at the University of Limpopo where she studied BA in Communications and Marketing.

“I was selected by my lecturer in my media class to be one of the trainees at Radio Turf and that’s how it all started. Putting on a ‘character’ for the show helped me discover who I really am,” she recalls.

However, being a woman in the industry is not all sunshine and she had to face and overcome several challenges in her career so far.

“The media industry is tough on women because people usually think you are a push over, so I am always guarded and reserved and I don’t open up easily,” Rose explains.

She says her family is her biggest source of inspiration and that being surrounded by strong independent women gives her the drive to succeed.

“I am surrounded by women who are independent like my mother and my sisters. I use their independence as inspiration, drive and a guide whenever I take on something. I believe I will one day be a media mogul and the challenges the women in my life have overcome make me realise that all I have to do is work hard and press on to make that happen.”

Joining the Energy FM family is one of her fondest memories. “The one memory that stands out most for me has to be when we had the group Big Nuz in studio. They are super cool. To this this day people refer to me as ‘uDeedee’ because that’s what Mampintsa called me,” she laughs.

Rose’s advice for young women who aspire to enter the media industry is to never lose focus of what they want and always do their best to reach their goals. “Know what you want and work hard to get it. Avoid competing with other women because everything happens for a reason and at its own pace. Never be a push over. Surround yourself with people who are just as hungry for success as you are so you can motivate each other,” she concludes. [email protected]

THE latest comedy by Kirk Jones, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is the sequel to the 2002 hit comedy, My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

This romantic comedy stars the likes of Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, Lainie Kazan, Michael Constantine and Andrea Martin and promises to have you in stitches.

The life of Toula Portakalos Miller is in a bit of shambles. Her travel agency is closed due to the recession, as is the family dry cleaners. The only thing left open is the restaurant started by her father, Gus.

Her husband, Ian, is now the principal of the school where their daughter, Paris (Elena Kampouris),

attends and Paris is preparing to go to college. Paris has become mortifi ed by the smothering love of not just Toula but everyone else in the family - the fact that they are always there, all of them, even at the university recruiting fair at the high school, is driving her to apply to schools all across the country, not just the local one in Chicago.

Ian and Toula are struggling with their marriage because Toula is always trying to “fi x” everything that goes wrong with her family, leaving them little time for each other, let alone intimacy and this leads to several tongue-in-cheek, laugh out loud, and emotionally stirring [email protected]

Model fights size stigmaMatodzi Mavhengani

MODEL Vivian Bojang says she was suppressed from making it in the industry for a long time but that only motivated her to work harder.

The 24-year-old from Polokwane says it was hard to be offi cially recognised as a model because she did not fi t what society sees as a model.

She tells BONUS about her humbling beginnings in the industry. “I’m not exactly skinny nor tall as is usually the norm for models. I’m just a typical young woman in whom society did not see any outstanding features which could qualify me to be a model,” Bojang explains

She says she loved modelling from a young age and was determined to work hard to become a model. She says after realising that she could not change people’s perspective towards her, she decided to offer the industry something unique.

“Beauty is not only based on physical features. It is about being confi dent in your own skin, accepting the person you are and embracing every body part,” she says. She says living by that motto helped her to fi nally accomplish her dream after overcoming several challenges in the industry.

The Rustenburg-born model who moved to Polokwane to expand her horizons, tells BONUS that after taking part in several beauty shows with no luck, she fi nally got her big break as the face of a brand which was on promotion at the time. She says the opportunity opened many doors for her as a model and she has never looked back since. “I went on to join Azui Media Production which introduced me to catalogue modelling.”

The BA student says the experience has taught her to

Pay off your debt, don’t become a slow payer Roelof de Jonge

YOU are struggling to buy a car because you cannot get fi nancing because you had some fi nancial problems which resulted in some of your accounts falling behind.

All your debt is paid off at this point but your credit record shows that you are a “slow payer”. Is there any way you can have this removed from you record?

Being listed as a slow payer is not a new term or new form of blacklisting.

Being listed as a slow payer was already possible under the Consumer Affairs (Unfair Business Practices) Act 71 of 1988 where you could be listed as a slow payer with the credit bureau if you could not comply with your fi nancial obligations in terms of an agreement.

The main difference between being blacklisted and being listed as a slow payer, is that you can only be blacklisted after legal action has been instituted and a valid judgment has been granted against you, whereas you can be listed as a slow payer at any time.

This position has been incorporated into the National Credit Act 34 of 2005.

When you have been blacklisted and settled the debt for which you were listed, you can apply to have the listing removed from the credit bureau

where you were listed.Being listed as a slow payer will not prohibit

you from obtaining a loan or fi nance, but it will make it more diffi cult and have an impact on the amount made available to you.

To challenge the validity of the listing, you must contact the credit bureau concerned to raise

an objection or lodge a complaint. Once the complaint is received, the relevant party that listed

you will be contacted to provide proof of your

default and that the listing is indeed justifi ed.

In reality, most complaints are dismissed at this point as the listings are usually done based on documentary proof and thus found to be valid.If the bureau is unable

to resolve the issue, you can refer the matter to the Credit Ombudsman.

The sad truth is that the above-mentioned processes can therefore be rather drawn out and often result in no change to your status and with the listing remaining on your record

until your debt has been paid. The message that lies here is that if you see you

will not be able to meet your payment obligations, contact your bank to arrange a lower premium.

Incorrect pricing on online stores a painEXAMPLE, a person recently bought a computer from an online store for R499 but now the store is refusing to send the computer because they say the price was wrong and it should have been R8 499.

Surely they must send it to the customer if they advertised the say product for R499 on their website and it was paid for that amount?”

Firstly, one must look at the position as to when is an offer accepted where goods are advertised for sale. In our common law it has long been held that the advertising of goods for sale is merely an invitation to do business and does not constitute a binding offer that a consumer could accept.

But does this position also apply to e-commerce transactions and will the supplier only be bound to the transaction when it accepts the consumer’s online order, thereby allowing the supplier to still reject the order if a mistake was made in the pricing?

The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECT Act) generally applies to e-commerce transactions. Although still open for interpretation, it does however appear that the ECT Act supports the principle that the advertising of goods online constitutes an offer and that should the consumer accept this offer, the transaction will be binding. This position also appears to be a supported view internationally, with a New York Appelate Court recently fi nding that by a consumer clicking on the “I accept” button on a website, a binding transaction is made.

The ECT Act regulates the rights of the consumer in respect of errors made by the consumer as well as a cooling off period (an interval during which two sides in a disagreement can try to settle their differences before taking further action), but is however silent as to what the position would be had the supplier made a material error in pricing.

This raises the second question, as to whether a supplier should be held to a clearly incorrect price where the consumer is trying to snatch a bargain. South African courts though have held that where a supplier has made an obvious error in price and a consumer tries to take advantage of that error, the consumer has a duty to inquire whether the price is correct and whether an error has been made.

If the consumer fails to do this and continues to try and snatch a bargain, the supplier would not be held to the transaction, as in effect no consensus as to price existed between the parties and the consumer should have been aware that a mistake had been made.

Lastly, the terms and conditions of a website may also infl uence the position as to whether the supplier is responsible for the pricing.

A supplier can, in its terms and conditions, determine that a transaction is only binding once it accepts the offer of the consumer even when payment has already been made. Such terms and conditions would then also enable the supplier to withdraw from an order with an incorrect price.

A delicious success storyDesmond Boshego

JOB scarcity prompted Tshidi Baloyi (30) to engage herself in her husband’s business and she is now able to provide a stable additional income for her family and is helping others by being able to offer employment herself.

Baloyi is a street vendor in Polokwane and sells delicious food. Her husband, Tebogo Tseke, started the business 10 years ago and has now opened another business in Lebowakgomo while Baloyi tends the one in the city.

After struggling to fi nd permanent employment and working in contract positions at several retail stores in the city, Boloyi asked her husband if she could join his business and help him make and sell the food at his shop.

She said even though cooking was not her passion, she enjoys cooking food for her customers and they all enjoy the delicious food she serves them with a smile.

This mother of one from Westenburg does not want to keep their good fortune to themselves and they now employ four people who assist her at the stall.

“Being able to employ four people does not mean we generate a big income, it just means we want to share the little we have with others who are also facing unemployment and struggling to support their families,” Baloyi explained.

“The business is doing well but one of the biggest struggles we face is being unable to make and sell our food when it rains as we don’t have a proper stall.”

One of the people in Baloyi’s employ, Thabo Setati (25) from Ga-Matlala, told BONUS he had struggled to fi nd employment but after starting to work at the food stall, his life has steadily improved.

Let your nails do the talkingMatodzi Mavhengani

MATLAKALA Sekele, beautician and owner of Zani Lesogo hair and beauty academy, shares her expert advice on the upside and downside of artifi cial nails.

The fi rst thing you should be aware of is that there are different nail styles and they look different depending on the person’s hands. You get the option of French tips, natural tips or full colour. “They all come in different shapes such as the stiletto, coffi n and oval,” says Sekele. Glitter is also quite a popular accessory at the moment. “It makes the nail pop and people love it!” She gushed.

“The type of nail, length and shape is determined by the client,”she continues, ‘but there

are a few aspects to consider.” Sekele advises that the colour you choose should complement your complexion while the style of the nail should depend on the size and length of your fi ngers.

Artifi cial nails can last up to four or fi ve weeks if they are ‘fi lled’ every two weeks. This is a simple procedure where is added to the growth of the natural nail. When its time to remove the artifi cial nails, it is best to visit a salon where the procedure is done by a professional. At-home quick fi xes can seriously damage your nails.Sekela’s salon, situated at 80 Market Street in Polokwane, offers a full range of beauty services including nail art, eye lash extensions and professional make-up.

Divhambele Mbalavhali.

Maseo Nethanani

POPULAR radio presenter on Phalaphala FM and a renowned Master of Ceremony (MC) at many social events, Divhambele Mbalavhali, is an all around nice guy fast capturing the hearts of many.

Mbalavhali grew up in the simple Makwarela township in the Vhembe Region, along with his three sisters. they lived a simple life until Mbalavhali’s father passed away in 2006.

The 28-year-old says he has always been a talkative person and recalls spending most of his time with friends when he was younger. “I started my professional career at Rosebank College in 2007, where I completed a Media Studies and

Journalism diploma. While there, I was a sports announcer.” Mbalavhali says he attempted to get involved with a local community radio station years earlier, when he was in Gr 10, but he was too young for the job. This would not deter him from his goals though. He went on to work as a freelance sports journalist for the then commercial newspaper, Weekend Mail. “I was fortunate enough to take part in a year long internship at Coca Cola South Africa” says Mbalavhali.

After gaining this much needed experience, Mbalavhali joined Univen Radio in 2011 to present a weekend show called World of Sports. “In 2012 I joined Capricorn FM as sports bulletin reader on weekends. I also helped produce the Sports Precinct Show.”

Mbalavhali diverted from his course after Univen Radio for a short while, doing sales for an ICT company. He

then joined the SABC family as bulletin writer and voice over

artist. “About a week into it, people called to tell me to apply for a position they heard about on the radio at Phalaphala FM. “I met all the requirements and was asked to come in for an interview and audition.”

Mbalavhali’s luck had fi nally turned, he got the

job in 2013 as a producer for the breakfast show. In the second fi scal year he presented the party time slot. Today, he presents the Riadzeda show from Monday to Thursday, 21:00 till 00:00. He also hosts the Saturday breakfast show, Vhandilani nga Mugivhela, from 06:00 to 09:00. Another of his many skills is hosting events. “MC has become my middle name now as I’ve done it from an early age,” he says. “I’ve always been a good speaker and people would applaud me for that and recommend my services to others. I love being in front of people; being the to link between the people and the programme, ensuring the function is enjoyable is what I enjoy most.” His goals include becoming a bigger brand and attracting more listeners to his shows. He also wishes to study further, saying: “I have always been motivated to keep working hard and faith in God is a powerful motivator and the support of my family means a lot.”

He told BONUS that, as a radio presenter, he has learnt to respect people and their opinions through his work as a radio DJ. When asked about how he has handled fame, Mbalavhali was quite open about his experiences. “I went through ups and downs, I wasn’t very dependable but getting through it all, I know I’ve matured. I’m a better person altogether; I focus on my work, try to keep a low profi le and I am willing to learn from others,” he [email protected]

A STUNNING combination of beauty, brains, and a humble demeanor, it is no wonder that Sibongile Mlipha (34) is one of the Mrs SA Top 100 semi-fi nalists.

This beauty, with her warming smile, hails from Polokwane and says it feels like she has found her purpose in life by embracing her talents in the modelling industry.

“I am honoured and humbled to be a part of this amazing journey. Being chosen as one of the Schwarzkopf Professional Mrs South Africa Top 100 semi-fi nalists has been such an overwhelming experience, and I’m enjoying every single moment of it so far,” Mlipha says.

AS a semi-fi nalist, she says she wants to inspire other women who have forgotten or lost sight of their dreams and goals, to dig deep and take the steps to make those dreams come true.

“It does not matter how old you are, you are never too old to dream and to work towards fulfi lling your dreams and goals,” she explains.

“I recently joined Cansa as a volunteer and I look forward to my journey with them and helping to make a difference in people’s lives. I would like to visit schools and communities to encourage women and children to never give up on their dreams, but to work hard everyday to see those dreams realised, we were all created with a purpose, fi nd yours and make it work for you. I am a giver so I will be giving a lot of my time to the disadvantaged schools and communities and helping to raise funds for them for their various needs.”

This mother of two is very thankful for the dedicated support she gets from her family and the other fi nalists.

“I am very glad to have such a strong support system. So far I have met some really amazing women and we all support each other. We do not compete with each other, we empower each other, I am in support of them. I believe God put me on this journey and if it is His will, then yes I will make it to the Top 25,” she says.

The selection of the Mrs SA Top 25 will take place at the Cansa gala dinner at Emperor’s Palace on 29 April and Mlipha urges the residents of Limpopo to vote for her to be chosen for the Top 25.

To vote for Sibongile Mlipha, go to the Mrs South Africa Facebook page. You have to like the page and then go to the Schwarzkopf Professional Mrs SA Top 100 semi-fi nalists album and then like and share Mlipha’s photo. [email protected]

Kayla Struwig wants to wear the Miss SA crown one day

A stunning combination of beauty and brains

Raeesa Kimmie

NEWLY crowned Miss Soetdorings and aspiring model, Kayla Struwig (16), has a passion for people and a mind of a visionary.

BONUS sat down with this busy teen to learn more about how she juggles her efforts to change lives while living out her modelling dream.

“My modelling career started in 2013,” she begins, when she was asked to attend a modelling class at Impact Models Polokwane. Having attended just one class, she was told she had to take part in a modelling competition where she placed 16th in a pool of 150 other hopefuls. “I immediately got hooked on modelling, but I never knew it was going to be my ticket to success,” she says.

Kayla’s friendly demeanor suits her aspirations of changing the world and helping others as she is a people’s person. The success she achieved after her fi rst competition inspired Kayla to encourage others to achieve their goals. She wants to prove to them they have the ability to change the world, but cautions that they have to change themselves fi rst. Having competed in competitions across South Africa, Kayla says that modelling isn’t as big in Limpopo as it is in other provinces, but says that shouldn’t affect your determination to succeed.

Charity work is very important to Kayla, and she takes her role as a Miss South Africa Ambassador very seriously. She became involved in the Save a Child Charity Foundation in 2014 and works with disabled children as well as children with cancer.

Kayla is also a motivational speaker and uses this platform to inspire others.

She was born with a rare heart condition called atrial septal defect (ASD), which means that she was born with a hole in between the two upper chambers of her heart. Having this condition means that Kayla is not able to take part in any physical activity, which frustrates her but she says the condition gives her more reason to be an inspiration to the youth of today.

“I am living my dream to the fullest in being an inspiration to the youth of today and proving to them that anyone can be an inspiration but only a true

role model can change the world because: “If your dreams

don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.”

“I believe that a mother is

the essence of a woman as she encourages you to be better,” continues Kayla, who looks to her mother for

motivation. She also looks

to other models for inspiration. In 2014, Kayla had a private modelling lesson from former Miss South Africa, Marinda Botha, during which she

received invaluable advice that belief in yourself is key to success.

Modelling takes up much of her time and Kayla is therefore homeschooled, but she still manages to make time for friends and family.

Kayla believes that the Miss South Africa and quite possibly the Miss World titles are all within her reach and she is working towards these titels.

But for now you can catch Kayla on Kokomo Radio on Wednesday 17:00-18:00, Thursday 18:00-19:00, Friday 17:00-18:00 and Saturday 09:00-11:[email protected]

LOCAL designers and models come to play at the fourth annual Polokwane Fashion Show where they showcased their creations and skills on the runway for all to see.

The event, which featured the best of local brands, was a big success.

Designers and models said they were excited to be a part of the initiative because it was a good way to network and market their products to a wider audience. The exquisite event took place at Fusion Boutique Hotel in Polokwane on Saturday night.

Event organiser, Dikeledi Monyobedi, Paper Trail Marketing and Communications Director, told BONUS the aim of the event was to expose local talent by providing a platform where they can interact with potential buyers.

Monyobedi said the event, which was under the theme In My Skin, was a huge success and she is happy about the outcome and the support the local community showed at the event.

She told BONUS the theme

was infl uenced by the idea of incorporating a diverse community. She said she was impressed with the work put in by designers because it carried a lot of uniqueness and originality. “The show featured fi ve designers and 24 models and I encourage the local designers, models and community to get more involved with the show so we can make it even bigger and better next year.”

She explained not only was the show about fashion but also raising awareness about the importance of supporting local brands. “Supporting local businesses helps to create employment and empower people and we need to appreciate the local talent we have instead of focusing on international designers and their brands.”

Director of Selaelo and Rapoo Seakamela Exclusive Store (SRS) in Polokwane, Selaelo Seakamela, was among the candidates who were showcasing their labels during the fashion show. He told BONUS that the store sources and sells locally produced brands from all over the country. He said he is a fan of local products such as the Galaxy clothing

brand and usually travelled far to buy their products.

“That motivated me to open my own store. Now people can buy local brands of their choice at a store situated conveniently close to them,” he explained.

He further said although there are set criterion for the brands he stocks at his shop, he is happy because there are three brands from Limpopo on their shelves thus far and he would love to stock more. “Style, demand and quality is what we are all about and we always aim to please,” Seakamela said.

Fashion student, Blessing Ledwaba, from Polokwane told BONUS that as an aspiring designer, he wants to attend as many shows as possible to expose his modelling to the national market.

“I have to keep up with the trends and network with people who have made it in the industry. The show was refreshing and I learned many new strategies and found loads of inspiration which I plan to incorporate into my personal lifestyle.”[email protected]

MTN brings IT hope for Lim learnersMaseo Nethanani

THE faces of learners from six schools in Seshego lit up brighter than their schools’ new computer screens when the MTN Foundation along with the Department of Education and the Department of Social Development handed over new computer labs on Friday.

Alf Makaleng Primary School, Luthuli Park Combined School, Dr AMS Makunyane Secondary School, Masedibu High School, Mayeke Higher Primary School, and special needs school, Grace and Hope Special School.

The R2,4 million investment into the community of Limpopo is part of MTN Foundation’s ongoing schools connectivity programme that aims to provide information and communications technology (ICT) tools and internet connectivity to previously disadvantaged communities.

According to MTN Foundation Corporate Services Executive, Kusile Mtunzi-Hairwadzi, the MTN Foundation also focuses on inclusive learning, one of the critical elements in the education value chain.

“It offers a model whereby South Africa can advance in education through the effective use of information and communications technology. The schools are selected after careful consideration. One of the crucial aspects is that the school needs a functional administration process.

“We don’t select the schools at reandom, we choose schools which will benefi t most from the computer lab in progressing its education system and results. We aim to use

ICT to promote education, transformation and the development of disadvantaged communities in South Africa,” Mtunzi-Hairwadzi explaied.

Deputy Minister of Social Development, Hedrietta Bogopane-Zulu, said these computer labs come with specialised software to promote education.

“The computer lab at Grace and Hope Special School is designed to cater specifi cally for children children with intellectual disability. This is the seventh school for children with intellectual disability that we have donated a computer lab to in collaboration with the MTN

foundation. “The computer

lab will change education at the school for the better and we are happy to help in the development of the future stars of South Africa,” said Bogopane-Zulu.

MEC for Department of Education, Ishmael Kgetjepe, said the donation by the MTN Foundation is an investment in the future of the learners and in turn the future of the country.

“We want to continue to change the life of the young people for the better. We appreciate the contribution by the MTN Foundation towards the education of the learners,” said Kgetjepe.

Luthuli Park Combined School Principal, Moloto Rasebotsa, said when the school started in 2008 there was a computer lab built, but never fi lled with the proper equipment. Now with the help of the MTN Foundation their learners will have an equal chance of making a success of their education by making use of the new [email protected]

Cook with Mitchell House Raeesa Kimmie

MANY people believe in keeping their best recipes a secret but with Mitchell House’s new recipe book, Famous Family Favourites, the special shared recipes are sure to make a difference in at meal times.

With over 50 tried and tested delicious recipes that were submitted by parents and learners alike over a period, the recipe book is divided into six sections including: salads, light snacks and meals, main meals, cakes, bakes and desserts, drinks and a kiddies section.

Project Manager, Ruby Ismail, says that Famous Family Favourites represents the diversity of culture and tradition that is the Mitchell House family.

Director of Marketing, Achsah Phoshoko, says there is a special running until the end

Hit the books and study hard with these tipsIF YOU made the choice to hit the books and study hard this year, here are fi ve tips to get you into the right mindset and help you prepare for the important exams ahead:1. Study Alone:Unless you have a couple of friends who are just as serious about getting down to business and studying the same as you, stay away from group study sessions because they tend to get off-topic pretty quickly. Save the social time until after you have handed in your test.2. Create your perfect study area:The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door and remove as many distractions as possible, like music, television, and even the internet and your phone. If you don’t have your own room that you can use to study without distractions or interruptions, consider studying at the library instead.3. Get everything you need out before you start:Before you start studying, make sure you have all your books, notes, study guides and writing utensils in front of you or within easy reach. Don’t give yourself any excuse

to get up and rummage around.4. Turn your notes into fl ash cards:Now that you have all your notes in front of you, make use of a pack of index cards to make studying easier. As you read through the important facts, rewrite them in question and answer format on the cards. For instance: to study historical facts, write the historical fact on one side of the card and the

key details on the other side. To study geometry formulas, write the name of the formula on one side and the formula itself on the other side.5. Take a break:Your brain can only take so much information

and studying at a time. For every hour you study, take about 15 minutes to do something to relax like taking a walk, listening to music or playing a computer game. You can even take a 15-minute nap if you’re confi dent you can wake up when the 15 minutes have passed. These breaks will help to keep your stress level down and give your brain a chance to process the information it has just learned and let the information sink in.Information sourced from teenadvice.about.com

Rough, tough new Ford Ranger impresses MEC Rob Tooley

13-19 April 201616

Rob Tooley, MEC for Limpopo Department of Treasury, gets ready to test drive the new Ford Ranger 3.2 TDCi XLT 4x2 six speed automatic. Tooley was greatly impressed with the overall package this bakkie has to offer.

Sapa Yopa takes Ushaka by storm

Roelof de Jonge

THE new Ford Ranger is set to establish new benchmarks in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment with an uncompromising blend of robust capability, craftsmanship and advanced technology.

BONUS had the opportunity to test drive the 3.2 TDCi XLT 4x2 six speed automatic last week courtesy of BB Polokwane Ford. MEC for the Limpopo Department of Treasury, Rob Tooley, joined us on the test drive behind the wheel.

Accompanying us was BB Polokwane Ford Sales Executive, Barend Jacobsz, who knows the ins and outs of the new Ranger model range and showed us all the new safety features and the improved drive experience.

“What I expect from a bakkie is to be able to handle the rough stuff. If I need to drive it in the bush or over rough terrain, a bakkie must be able to deliver just that,” says Tooley.

Tooley was greatly impressed with the host of standard features of the 3.2 TDCi XLT 4x2 six speed automatic double cab as well as the safety that comes with it.

He said the placement of the various dials and buttons as well as the multi-function steering wheel and cell phone connectivity makes the Ranger a pleasure to drive without needing to take your eyes of the road.

Tooley said for the 4x2 variant, the Ranger handles superbly, even when driving on a dirt road and he could feel how the power

THE Sapa Yopa bike club made their presence known at the Ushaka Rally earlier this year and claimed the trophy for the Biggest Biker Club in SA to attend the rally.

Sapa Yopa President, Sarel Nong, said he felt blessed to have been part of this year’s Ushaka Rally and takes pride in seeing the growth thereof.

“Many people may not know it but Sapa Yopa bike club was directly responsible for the start of the rally two years ago. We met

with the bikers in KwaZulu-Natal and asked them to band together and create a rally, and that is how it all started,” said Nong.

Nong said one of the best feelings of attending the rally is to all band together and help with charity projects during the rally. One of the best moments of the rally so far was when everyone banded together to hand out food parcels to the needy and spending time with the children while in Umlazi.

“I am proud that the name of our club is held high in other provinces. It means a lot to know we are making a difference in the

lives of people who really need it,” Nong said.

His special message to the Sapa Yopa members is that they’re inclusion makes the club special and that he is eternally grateful to each and every one of them for being a part of the team and making the club so special. He urged the younger bikers and new members to always remember the bikers who were part of the club before they joined and to appreciate their hard work in making the club what it is [email protected]

Part of the VW familyPOLOKWANE resident Morris More (27), is not only a Polokwane Royals Football Club founder but also a member of Westenburg VW Crew. Bonus spent some time with him.Q. Growing up, what was your dream car? A. My dream car was a VW Polo 1.9 TDI because, from what I heard. Q. Do you have a nickname for your car? A. Yes, I called her Cindy.Q. What car would you like to acquire next? A. I would like to buy myself a polo GTI that has all the extra features that come with it. It has to be red or white in colour, with a sunroof, leather interior, 18 inch rims, cruise control and heated seats.Q. When did you decide to ‘pimp your ride’ and why? A. It was December 2015 when I started pimping my car. It was too standard for my liking, so I had to change a couple of things in order for it to look a bit more unique. I had saved up for many months so when I started, I tried to do everything at once.Q. Where did you have the alterations done? A. I got the rims, tyres, suspension, lights, xenon kit, and many other small accessories form Autostyle Mayfair Johannesburg. The leather interior and sunroof was done by Lahri’s Mag and Tyres in Mokopane. The sound systems are from Audio Corner in Polokwane.Q. You made very specifi c changes, why those exactly? A. I changed the interior because the standard seats were starting to get damaged. The lights I changed because they suit the colour of the car and I added a xenon kit to have better vision when driving at night. Also, I changed the standard tyres and rims and put on 17-inch rims and tyres for a much better and more stable ride.Q. How long did it take you to complete your car? A. It took about two months to complete all the alterations after saving up for 15 months.Q. Have you modifi ed the vehicle’s engine? A. No, the engine is standard, 1.4 carburetors; I prefer not to fi ddle with the engine.Q. How much did you spend? Do you think it was worth it? A. I spent around R38 000 on the car. Yes, it was worth it! It’s simple but elegant, plus it makes me happy. It’s got a tracker and it’s also insured. I put a lot of safety features on it as well and a lot of effort into making it what it is today and I really thank God for blessing me with this car.Q. What advice do you have for motorists who also want to pimp their rides? A. I would tell them to be patient. Choose the right accessories, always ask around for advice and don’t use shortcuts because you will end up spending more money than is [email protected]

“The cabin is very quiet for a bakkie and there is hardly any wind noise to speak off,” said Tooley.

The SYNC®2 is the latest generation of Ford’s in-car connectivity system.The on board drive cameras for reverse along with the changeable angle that focuses on the tow bar to determine the distance between you and the other vehicle or obstacle made the bakkie a dream to maneuvre and park.

Ford’s mighty 3.2-litre Duratorq TDCi fi ve-cylinder diesel engine tops the range and produces 147 kW of power and 470 Nm of torque.

What’s on my mind - Moyahabo Mabeba

The odds will be stacked against the Baobabs

THE skill and determination of Cecilia Molokwane, head coach of the provincial netball side, the Baobabs, will be put to the test in view of the coming Brutal Fruit Premier Netball League. Even with your level of intelligence and experience, which I do not doubt, you have a mammoth task ahead of you.It should be mentioned that this is a coach whose voice and participation in the national game is of an aristocratic pedigree.As former assistant coach of the national senior team, the Proteas, you are well aware of how grueling the League can be. With the announcement that Netball South Africa has decided to streamline the league into a single stream, the odds will defi nitely be stacked against the Baobabs.Following last season’s fi asco at the Heartfelt Arena in Pretoria, people’s hopes will be low, but their expectation of such a renowned coach will be explicitly high. You will have to run a healthy winning campaign this season to win the affection of the spectators. I am a cautious optimist, so I remain a doubting Thomas until I see you, Miss Molokwane, beat the cream of South African netball crop.

I do wish you the best of luck with the hopes that you know that luck on its own will not suffi ce in this battle of the titans. This was a hard lesson learnt in the previous season. The task set is akin to climbing the Himalayan Mountains. Apologies if this might scare you, but NSA’s decision to “force” you to play with the A-listers is nothing short of a harrowing summit.If I were in your shoes, I’d cringe at the mere mention of the Free State Crinums, Gauteng Jaguars, North West Flames, Western Cape Southern Stings and even the Gauteng Golden Fireballs.Furthermore, you should be spending sleepless nights trying to pick up the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle as to how you are going to unlock the impenetrable defense of the Eastern Cape Aloes, KZN Kingdom Stars and the Northern Cape Diamonds.While you may think Mpumalanga Sunbirds will be an easy pick off, the ladies from the place where the sun rises are hell-bent on revenge, a dish best served cold.Do not think yourself the proverbial lamb off to be slaughtered – this is a collective mission.

Loan sharks circle City FC midfielder Endy Senyatsi

RISE and Shine midfi elder, Edgar Stiga Manaka, found himself in hot water last week when three men, rumoured to be loan sharks, paid him a visit during a training session demanding that Manaka pay his debts.

It is alleged that Manaka borrowed around R100 000 from a loan shark in Durban after he was fi red from Golden Arrows.

Manaka lost his job after he allegedly went on a drinking spree and crashed his car at Eyadini Lounge.

A source claims that Manaka and the mashonisa almost exchanged blows, forcing Polokwane City FC players to intervene.

It is alleged that the loan sharks produced guns to protect themselves from angry players.

According to an anonymous source, Manaka did not pay his debts and thought the mashonisa would forget about his debt since he moved from Durban to Polokwane.

“The loan shark wanted to take Manaka’s car, but Polokwane City players intervened. Regarding his debt, Manaka told his friends that he only owed the mashonisa R25 000,” said the source.

The source said Polokwane City FC management promised to pay Manaka’s debts but also made it clear that they will deduct the money from his salary.

Rise and Shine team manager, Bernard Molekwa, said he does not want to talk about the matter because it is private and very sensitive.

When asked if the team will pay the mashonisa on Manaka’s behalf, Molekwa declined to give any further [email protected]

THE fi rst impression when you meet the newly appointed Public Relations Offi cer (PRO) of the Limpopo Volleyball Association (LVA), Lethabo Makgato, is that of youthful ebullience and rigorous intelligence - all encapsulated by a delightful sense of humour.

Her persona is unquestionably a precondition for a candidate tasked to create a positive image for a sport like volleyball which is still regarded in some spheres as a minority sport.

Makgato (22) hails from Botlokwa and says she is proud to be part of the Born Free generation and is studying towards a B.Sc Mathematical Science degree at the University of Limpopo.

“I am well aware of the daunting task that lies ahead of me.

“Nonetheless, I look forward to embracing this assignment with passion, focus and attention to detail. I intend to achieve big milestones for the sport during my four-year incumbency. My fi rst task will be to forge a healthy relationship with local newspapers and community radio stations,” she explains.

Makgato is no stranger to volleyball. She made her debut on the courts in 2012 and soon mastered the ins and outs of the sport.

“Over the past few years I have been deployed to key strategic positions which have accelerated my maturity in the leadership structures.

“I was the team manager for the junior ladies volleyball team in 2014 and I was appointed assistant coach last year.

“I am also the Media and Marketing Director of the Capricorn District Volleyball Association since 2014 and was previously the secretary and head of the disciplinary council for the University of Limpopo Volleyball Club, so I have been around the block when it comes to the responsibilities associated with leadership positions,” she says confi [email protected]

Nothing comes easy Endy Senyatsi

THE two provincial male netball teams came home with their heads in their hands as they failed to bring home medals after competing in the national championships that were held in Kempton Park recently. The provincial A-team obtained position fi ve with the B-team claiming the sixth spot. According to manager Cosy Rabothata, the teams played well even under harsh circumstances.

“We had a very tough time during the nationals and this might be the reason why the teams did not perform well. Players had to pay for transport from their own pockets because we did not have sponsors.

The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture requested the netball association to prioritise one team that will receive funds. We had no choice but to prioritise the Limpopo Baobabs since they are playing in the big netball league,” said Rabothata.

She added that all the teams did not have kits and tracksuits and had to borrow from the girls’ teams.

She further said the players had to contribute everyday to have a decent meal. Rabothata said sponsors pulled out at the last minute and the team had no other option.

“There is no government entity that supports male netball in the province. We are on our own, yet we don’t play for ourselves but the province. We plead with businesses to assist male provincial teams fi nancially so that we are able to compete in big tournaments and put our province on the map,” she pleaded. She further said the teams consist of players from poor family backgrounds who cannot afford to pay for some of the trips. She added that there is a lot of talent in the male netball team but they need funds in order to create platforms for these players to be seen by national scouts. Rabothata encouraged male netball players to never give up on their dreams and continue training hard to reach their goals. She said, “Nothing comes easy in life, hence players should persevere and chase after their dreams until they become a reality.” [email protected]

Basketball trials on the cards this weekend in SeshegoMoyahabo Mabeba

CLEMENT weather could be just what the doctor ordered when the Seshego outdoor courts becomes a hive of activity this Saturday when avid basketballers converge for trials.

The legion of devotees who worship at the altar of the basketball courts will have plenty to cheer to when precocious basketball players battle it out in pursuit for berths on the various provincial squad ships.

Ten players in each age group, form each of the fi ve provincial districts are to take part in the trials.

Limpopo Basketball Association (LIBA), was on a talent search between February and

March, culminating in the provincial trials which take place this weekend.

The trials on Saturday will concentrate on picking the top performers in the u/15, u/18 and u/20 age groups.

Limpopo has been hailed as one of the biggest hatcheries of young talent nationwide, and this weekend’s event will be the standard barometer from which the province will be gauged.

Many youngsters who come from district leagues have already given fans a glimpse of brilliance on the biggest stages of the traditional American hoop-and-dunk ball game.

There will be plenty to prove on the courts as the selection panel will be eyeing to

scoop only the best.LIBA chairperson, Gazani Khoza is

upbeat that Saturday’s event will be one of the most memorable moments on the association’s calendar.

A buoyant Khoza said: “We are working around the clock to ensure that this event becomes a success.

“As the provincial governing body, we are liaising with our district bodies to ensure that teams arrive on time and are well prepared for the grueling task come trials day.

“I am not doubtful that this weekend we will stage an exciting event.

“However, I must emphasise that we will make sure that players will be selected on

merit and nothing else.”Khoza is one of the greatest players of

his generation, says the team that will be selected on Saturday will proceed to the national trials to be conducted next month in Johannesburg, Gauteng.

Basketball South Africa is yet to announce the exact date for the national trials.

Khoza went on to say, “By the time we take our teams to the national trials, we hope that at least three players from our province will make it to the national setups.

“With the abundance of talent we have in the province, we are optimistic that we will have good representation in the national teams.” [email protected]

Caster supports locals Nelson Mothoa

MOLETJI Athletics Club, in partnership with the Caster Semenya Foundation, hosted the fi rst Cross Country league meeting at Moletji Ceres last Saturday. This was the fi rst of fi ve meetings where the runners with the best times collectively will be considered for provincial team selection. The chosen runners will represent Athletics limpopo (LIMA) in George in the Western Cape on 10 September this year.

All the athletes were determined to prove themselves and this made for an exciting competition. The senior men’s 10 km race had a number of veteran athletes gunning for fi rst place. Comrade’s Marathon heavyweight Rufus Photo, running his fi rst ever cross country race, managed the third spot, shortly on the heels of second place winner, Handrick Malatsi. First place went to University of Limpopo Athletics club member and seventh placed South African cross country runner, Kamogelo Masemola, with a time of 29 min and 12 sec.

Masemola was surprised with his win, stating that he only trained in the three days leading up to the race, sighting scholarly priorities as the reason for his lack of training.

“I was only running to see what I need to work on,” he told Bonus. “I really enjoyed this fi rst league meeting and I am looking forward to better my training. Good luck to my beloved fellow athletes with the rest of the meetings. I want to thank our international icon, Caster Semenya, for coming all the way here to show support and for giving back to the community through her Foundation,” said Masemola.

Semenya, who recently qualifi ed for the 2016 Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro, wished everyone the best of luck in their season.

“It was a privilege to come back home and still fi nd the participation in cross country, high. Our plans for this beautiful province are very big. To all athletes: train hard, be smart and you will do well,” she [email protected]
