A MENTALLY disabled woman who resides in Mentz outside Mankweng is just one of the many people in the area who have not received RDP houses since 2001.

Anna Lebea apparently fi rst ap-plied for an RDP house in 2001 and lives alone in a dilapidated shack, not fi t for human occupation.

The DA intends to request Polok-wane mayor, Thembi Nkadimeng to investigate why the municipality has failed Lebea.

DA Polokwane councillor, Ngoka Setjie said Lebea's living conditions were shameful. “I was doing an in-spection in the Mentz area when I came across her. She has been in this condition since 2001. I con-tacted the ward 34 councillor to fi nd out what was going on regarding her situation. He told me that he had already submitted her name to the Polokwane Municipality. But, when I checked, to my surprise, I found that her name was not on the mu-nicipality’s database.

"The question is why does her neighbour have an RDP house

whereas she doesn’t have one. No one is bothering to help her. I have 'adopted' her; I bought food for her every month. All I can do now is to look for a donor who can build a house for her,” he said.

Mentz ward 34 councillor, Louis Mamabolo said no one had received an RDP house since 2011. “We have a big crisis with most people looking for an RDP house. We facilitate and submit their names to the munici-pality. I am responsible for about 13 villages, and I have invited housing personnel to come and clarify the situation,” Mamabolo said.

Rirhandzu Mathebula, an inves-tigator with the offi ce of the public protector said the matter had been brought to their attention. “We are going to discuss this matter with the municipality," Mathebula said.

Municipal spokesperosn, Ti-dimalo Chuene, said Lebea could not be located on their housing de-mand database. “We will, however, in consultation with other relevant stakeholders like the department of cooperative governance, human set-tlement and traditional affairs, try to track the history of her application,” Chuene said.

AN UROLOGY patient says he has been enduring excruciat-ing pain for over three years because doctors at the Pieters-burg Provincial Hospital have allegedly refused to operate on him several times.

When Mathews Sekhaole-lo (71) from Seshego suffered a stroke in 2011, a private doctor advised him to go to a public hospital as the op-eration would be extremely expensive if it was done at a private hospital.

Sekhaolelo said he went to the Pietersburg Provincial Hospital hoping he would be operated on immediately, but all he got was one postpone-ment after the other.

He said the fi rst time he went to the hospital, doc-tors told him there were no beds available. “When doc-tors broke the news that they cannot operate on me because of the unavailability of beds, I was so devastated because my pain was severely unbear-able.”

Medically, matters have become so bad for him, that he is now aided by a cath-eter to urinate, and he often passed blood, he said.

Sekhaolelo said his stress level escalated as doctors continued to postpone his op-eration. “This is stressing me

because every time I visit the hospital, I have to hire a pri-vate car because I can’t use public transport in this condi-tion. It is expensive, especial-ly since I am a pensioner rely-ing only on money from my monthly social grant. I have to wake up in the early hours of the morning to get into a queue at 06:00 and return at 18:00 without having had anything to eat, in case this is the day that they decide to operate," he said.

“Every time I ask for an appointment to be operated, they tell me to return after three months, but all they do is postpone. Then they told me to buy certain specialised equipment, which would help me. But I couldn't fi nd it any-where in the province; my nephew eventually found it," he said.

On February 4, Sekhaolelo went back to the hospital com-plex with the hope of been op-erated. Instead, he was told to return on May 7 for a urology review.

On his return, he was told that the machines to be used for the operation were broken.

Health spokesperson Macks Lesufi said they were not aware of Sekhaolelo’s plight. “We will henceforth start by tracing all the rel-evant information of the pa-tient and we will take is from there,” Lesufi said.

Mathews Sekhaule-lo says he says been turned down by doctors on sev-eral occasions in a desperate bid to be operated.

Creché head orders the kids to hurt themselves Maseo Nethananithoko@nmgroup.co.za

A SESHEGO father says he is deeply disappointed by the prin-cipal of the créche that his four-year-old son attends, after the principal allegedly forced the children to injure each other re-cently.

Samuel Moloko Mpati said when he recently went to collect his son from Thariyasechaba community créche, he found that his son had scratches on his face. He said when he asked his son how he got these scratches, his son replied that the principal, Maphefo Rapudi had instructed him and some other children to scratch themselves.

“My son told me that the principal told him and some

other children to scratch them-selves, and if they didn’t, he would beat them hard. I saw two other children with scratches on their cheeks, and when I asked them what happened, the chil-dren told me the principal had told them to scratch themselves as punishment for scratching another child," Mpati told Ex-press. "I am disappointed by the principal's action. I sent my son to the créche to learn, not to be abused.

“I have since removed my son from the crèche,” he said.

Rapudi said the problem started when Mpati’s son and another boy allegedly scratched a girl on her forehead. “So I or-dered the two boys to scratch themselves," she said, adding that she wondered why the par-

ent had gone to the media and not come to her to resolve the matter.

She further told Express that it had not been her intention to cause any harm. "What I was doing was to calm the situation down. I just wanted the boys to experience the pain they had caused the girl," she said.

Seshego police spokesperson WO Mothemane Malefo said a case had been opened with the police. “The investigation has reached a sensitive stage. We are the custodian of children's rights, and we will therefore spare no effort in getting to the bottom of the matter,” Malefo said.

Comment by the social de-velopment comment will be in-cluded in a follow up story.

Lim residents celebrate their heritage with music festivalEmmanuel Kwindathoko@nmgroup.co.za

WITH a line-up that in-cluded the cremé de la cremé of South Africa's music industry, the Phalaphala FM Royal Heritage Festival at Nan-doni Dam was the place to be on Saturday.

The festival aimed to celebrate Heritage Month and to encourage people to learn more about their heritage and cultures and to celebrate them.

The line-up included Oliver Mtukudzi, Mafi ki-zolo, traditional Xitson-ga singer, Benny Mayin-ganye, Congolese singer, Kanda Bongoman, Khuli Chana, DJs Fresh and Euphonik, Colbert Muk-wevho, Khakhathi and Friends, Ringo Madlin-gozi and Mizo Philly. People also had the op-portunity to meet their favourite SABC 2 per-sonalities such as Mu-vhango actors, Gabriel Temudzani, Macdonald Ndou and Thato Mola-mu.

Ndaba makes turn at Nandoni DamYho! Ndaba had such a wonderful week-end. The highlight of shim's weekend was the Royal Heritage Festival at Nan-doni Dam on Saturday, and my oh my what a party it was. The festival was so well organised, Ndaba reckons a few lo-cal organisers could learn a thing or two. Haai! Big up to Phalaphala FM for throw-ing a wonderful festival.

No matter how well organised an event is, there will always be people who do things that leave you speechless.

People like Jimmy" The Scratcher" Net-shilulu, who rocked up to the festival in a suit. Yes, you read right. A suit. What possessed him to wear the suit is any-body's guess. Asked about it, he said he ordered the suit three months before the event. But that still didn't explain why he wore it. Anyway, the suit looked good on him, even though it made him stand out.

Ndaba also saw Mpho Nefale at the festival, who for some strange reason ap-peared to be hiding in a corner.

Terry Mudau should be told that just because he works for Phalaphala FM, which organised the festival, does not give him the right to privatise the VIP area. He was overheard telling some poor souls that they should pass it by him if they want food and drinks.

Speaking of food, it seemed Tosh Gill had decided that the best place to be throughout the evening would be at the serving point. Tosh, don't worry neh, Ndaba will donate a bib to you so that

wanted to take television to the people.

"We are happy that we did not have any in-cidents during the festi-val, and we would like to thank all the people for the good behaviour

throughout the festival," said the SABC spokes-person, Kaizer Kganya-go.

He said it was the broadcaster's vision to improve the festival an-nually.

you do not mess yourself when you eat. What Ndaba witnessed was just too painful to watch.

Thiko Liphadzi and Rendani Sikh-wivhilu were some of the MCs for the evening, with Rendani doing a splendid job, while Thiko was left echoing what Rendani said.

Quinton Baloyi was seen in the com-pany of two females and shim is still ve-rying the nature of their association.

Shame, poor Jones Netshipise looked like a wet chicken.

Free advice to Big Daddy Ramabula-na: learn to accept the little that you are given and stop complaining about other people's events.

From the streets to the stage: author catches his big break Emmanuel Kwindathoko@nmgroup.co.za

A FORMER street kid has had his dream of writing a book come true.

Originally from Zimbabwe, Tatenda Jeremiah Moyo (22) moved to South Afi ca in 2009, but due to a lack of mon-ey, he ended up living on the streets of Polokwane.

But Lady Luck smiled on Tatenda in 2010, when he was taken in by the Beu-lah Children's Centre and he was able to fi nish gr. 12.

He is now a young motivational speaker, a preacher and the author of the book, A Dream in a Minute A Break in a Decade.

"The book is a motivational book based on the Bible. The 91-page book is meant to spiritually uplift readers," says Tatenda.

"I had a dream of writing a book while I was living in the streets, and my dream became a reality when I was taken in by the centre."

Tatenda says the aim of his book is to inspire people.

"The contents of the book are inspired by the book of life, and I want people to always remem-ber that God is the foundation of everything you plan to do in life, such as getting married," he says.

He says it took him a year to fi nish writting the book, which will be available in stores soon.

The book is self published.

"My aim is to create a culture of self-sustainance and problem solving among young people and to inspire young peo-ple not to depend on government, but to have the courage to stand up and do things on their own."

Those i n t e r -ested in ordering the book can con-tact Ta-tenda at 076 267 8303.

Tatenda Jeremiah Moyo says his book, A Dream in a Minute A Break in a Decade, aims to spiritually up-lift readers.

DJ Letlaka’s star is on a musical riseMaseo Nethananithoko@nmgroup.co.za

MASHILE "DJ Letlaka" Phoshoko from Segopje village outside Polok-wane is fast becoming a household name.

DJ Letlaka is a resi-dent DJ on Thobela FM's Party Time, which airs every Friday between 23:00 and 00:00.

Mashile holds a diplo-ma in electrical engineer-ing from the Ekurhuleni West College.

“I am the sole owner of Back Home Studio in Polokwane, which is reg-istered under the name, Nkgareng Entertain-ment. The studio aims to benefi t local artists.

Some of the work that I have done includes pro-ducing and managing some local artists," says Letlaka.

He recently released his debut album, My Identity, and says he worked with people such as Poshy Gal, Gami Swa-ga, Pure Poet, DJ Bowl, Madenza Lash and Mal-izo on the album.

"The songs Tswara Lebota and Kholwa Kuwe are currently re-ceiving airplay on local radio stations, while the song, Xigago featur-ing Masheleng has been nominated for a Mung-hana Lonene Award for best Xitsonga house song,” he says.

What does Heritage Day mean to you?Ntendeni Luvhengothoko@nmgroup.co.za

SEPTEMBER 24 is Heritage Day, a day on which South Africans celebrate their di-verse cultures.

When the former presi-dent, Nelson Mandela was elected as president in 1994, society embarked on a jour-ney to build a non-racial, non-sexist and non-tribal society in South Africa as envisaged in the Freedom Charter. The South African Constitution guarantees all South Africans are equal be-fore the law.

Express asked residents what Heritage Day meant to them.

Lucas Bobape said Her-itage Day was important to him, but he would not be celebrating it this year as he would be at work. “It’s un-fortunate that I will be on duty, I will take my family out for dinner in future.”

Thapelo Makwala said the day meant a lot to him. “I like celebrating the day as it gives me an opportunity to show off traditional dances and play various African in-struments."

Peter Moloto said on Her-itage Day, he and his family cooked traditional food such as tripe, and this according to him, was a proper way of celebrating the day.

Flora Ramoshaba said: “for me, Heritage Day is a day of culture.

“It is a day when we commemorate our past and cook cultural food such as samp and beans. For me, it is not only a day when we celebrate our culture, but also commemorate our cul-tural past with traditional food, stories of olden days and dancing”.

Lydia Ramonethe said the day reminded her of her late grandmother. “She used to tell us folklores and cook

beans, vetkoek and home-made bread for us. The day reminds me of her, and I would like to do the same for my family and the young ones. I would like to cook my grandmother’s recipes on the day to commemorate her and pass on the tradition to future generations.”

Tebogo Makwala said what he liked about the day was the cultural diversity it brought among South Afri-cans. “By wearing our cul-tural clothes, it really shows how we honour and respect our culture."

Ngwako Moremi said: “this is the day when we wear our traditional clothing, but since I will be at work, I won’t have an opportunity to show off my culture”.

Johannes Monyela said he would wear his tradi-tional Sesotho outfi t on the day, and encouraged people to embrace their cultures and be proud to be Africans.

Money values talk to guide residents Maseo Nethananithoko@nmgroup.co.za

HEARTLINES, an non-gov-ernmental organisation, and Nedbank hosted a nothing for mahala and values and money campaign at the Se-shego Cycle Centre last Tues-day.

According to Lerato Mashatola of Heartlines, money is always on every-one lips; "some people are swimming in it, some do crazy things for it and most of us just want more of it".

“The campaign wants to teach people about values, which have the potential to affect the behavior of peo-ple relating to their money. Money values are honesty in earning, responsibility in spending, wisdom in bor-rowing, self-control in sav-ing and generosity in giving. Heartlines hopes that these values in action will help to

realise some pro-social ac-tion that positively impacts the lives, actions, behaviors of children, young people, families and communities. There were about 200 peo-ple who were part of the campaign, and we engaged in personal conversation with an estimated 50 people about values and money,” said Mashatola.

She said regardless of who you were, where you came from or what you did, money mattered.

“Most of us dream about the happiness we believe money can bring. Are we willing to start from the bot-tom to make our way to the top? We are here to talk about values and money. Many people believe that debt is a part of life and they cannot live without it, how-ever the lifestyle of debt is costly. Some people are fi -nancial illiterate,” she said.

Lerato Mashotola of Heartlines speaks during a nothing for ma-hala and values and money cam-paign at the Seshego Cycle Cen-tre.

National Book Week a new experience for allEndy Senyatsiendy@nmgroup.co.za

RESIDENTS gathered at the Li-brary Gardens auditorium on Saturday to mark the end of the 2014 National Book Week, which was celebrated from Sep-tember 1 to 6 under the theme, Going Places.

Residents took part in vari-ous activities including reading in indigenous languages, story-telling and motivational talks, word-a-thons, poetry sessions and book debates.

Attendees walked away with books from the city li-brary as tokens of appreciation. Maurdy Dunster, Polokwane Library outreach librarian, said the gathering was a success and well supported.

“This was the fi rst time the Polokwane Library hosted Na-tional Book Week, and we look forward to hosting another one in the future.

“We gave out more than 1

900 indigenous books, which we believe will encourage resi-dents to read,” said Dunster.

According to Dunster, Na-tional Book Week encouraged people to value reading as a fun activity.

She said it also showed how reading could easily be made part of people’s daily lives.

According to StatsSA, only 14% of South Africans were ac-tive book readers, and only 5% of parents read to their children.

There was a moment of si-lence in the auditorium for at-tendees to read.

Dunster said the Polokwane Library aimed to reduce the lev-el of illiteracy in the province and required residents to take reading seriously.

Last Friday, residents also gathered at Greenside Com-bined School from 10:00 to 14:00 and later moved to Polokwane Place of Safety to celebrate National Book Week with the centre residents.

Endy Senyatsiendy@nmgroup.co.za

PROFESSIONAL (pro) and amateur golf-ers battled it out for the R50 000 prize and other goodies during the Limpopo Golf Extravaganza held from September 12 to 13 at the Legend Golf and Safari Resort in the Waterberg district.

Popular night race returnsLiesl Pohlliesl@nmgroup.co.za

POLOKWANE Athletic Club has a new sponsor for the night race, which has been hosted in the city for the past 20 years.

This popular race did not take place last year, but has returned with new sponsorship by the BB Group, and the race will be known as the BB Motor Group-GWM Nite Race.

The race was in the past sup-ported by 600 runners and walkers. With the growth of numbers in other races that the club has organised so far, they expect the numbers will also increase in the night race.

The date for this year’s race has been set for November 14 at the Peter

Mokaba Stadium. The race will start at 18:30 and

runners and walkers can choose be-tween the 5km or 10km races.

Prize money to the value of R5 000 will be up for grabs for the cat-egory winners in the 10km race and all fi nishers will receive unique med-als.
