Government, parastatals and private sector unite for the environment

Greater Tubatse Local Municipality, the Limpopo Provincial Government in the form of the Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, Eskom, waste management concerns and mining companies by the names of Dwarsrivier Chrome Mine, Mototolo Platinum Mine and Xstrata Lion pooled their efforts on Wednesday in Praktiseer to make the community more aware of the environment they live in. Various speakers told the community at Ba Tubatse Primary School that because of the large concentration of people, a place like Praktiseer is prone to get dirty quickly. Because of the rapid development in the area, township establishment has not been concluded in all areas and services are only rendered on a ad hoc basis. Through partnerships the municipality has managed to put mass containers for rubbish in a large number of areas and they requested the public to make use of these facilities. Speakers form the private sector and the provincial government also stressed that it is important not only to make sure the environment is kept clean, but that everyone makes an effort to enhance the environment, such as actively contributing to greening the planet by planting trees. A large number of trees was also planted on Tuesday and councillors and the public actively took part in an effort to collect some of the rubbish in Praktiseer. Apart from seeing what is happening at their school, pupils of Ba Tubatse were also treated to a reptile exhibition and a cultural performance by a cultural group in the area.

Know before you tow:

Minimising your headache when you need to get your vehicle towed somewhere is to keep a few simple things in mind. The first is that you as the client have a choice. You dont have to make use of the first contractor arriving at a scene. Keep your insurance details handy, because they may require you to make use of a specified contractor. If you use somebody else, you might end up having to pay the towing fees yourself. Most insurance recognised towing contractors are affiliated with SATRA or UTASA - bodies that regulate the towing industry. A good way to know when a contractor is professional is through the following organisations: SATRA and UTASA. Both have call centres and will assist with advice in an emergency. If you are not sure who to contact call any of the following call centres: UTASA can be contacted 24 Hours a day, on 0861 188 272 or SATRA 24 Hours a day on 086 107 2872 (0861 0 SATRA).

To debate or not?
The DA parliamentary leader, Lindiwe Mazibuko has gone to court to try and get a debate and vote on a motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma scheduled in the National Assembly. The DA is backed by seven other opposition parties in this bid to debate the leadership of the President. Their grounds for the motion were: Under his leadership the justice system has been politicised and weakened; corruption has spiralled out of control; unemployment continues to increase, the economy is weakening, and the right to access to quality education has been violated. The constitution provides for a motion of no confidence to be brought against a president of the country. If this motion is supported by the majority of the members of the National Assembly - 50% + 1, the president must resign and his cabinet and deputy ministers with him. The opposition parties rejected a proposal by ANC Chief Whip Mathole Motshekga to debate the motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma in February 2013. By the time of going to press the court ruling was not yet available. We asked readers what they think about this issue. Ms. Jackey Henriques and Mr Keith Henriques said: The DA and the other opposition parties are wasting their time because the debate will only stay in the house. They should all leave and there should come new people. They should decide that this house will serve the Lord! Then they will find that there is so much money that previously went into corruption, that they can now spend on orphans and the elderly. Yes, there is a problem with the leadership when you look at the state of the hospitals etc. Children are also affected through their education, or the lack of it. They should focus on bringing the country together and helping the children.

Ms Sebotsa Choma and Mr Danil Phetla said: It is necessary to debate President Jacob Zumas leadership position. If this motion of no confidence goes through and the vote decides that he must be replaced, he should be replaced by Kgalema Mohlanthe.

Mnr. Manny Antunes s: Dis n mors van tyd. Hul timing is uit. Hulle moes gewag het dat die ANC se interne verkiesing verbykom. As Jacob Zuma dan weer die leier is kan hulle mos die mosie ingedien het. Mr Elia Mahlangu said: There is nothing wrong with the leadership of President Jacob Zuma. I am proud of him. The DA must not try to get another president in his place. Mr Thabo Mmole said: Zuma must stay on. They must not do this motion of no confidence. The things that are wrong - like corruption - is not Zumas fault. Left: Mr James Rato Maile said: I dont have a problem with President Jacob Zuma. There is no need to debate his leadership or try to replace him.

Me. Marl Steyn s: Dit is dom om die president nou te wil uitskop. Dit is tog nie asof hy in die volgende paar maande tot die parlement weer oopmaak n verskil gaan maak nie. Hulle kon gewag het tot volgende jaar met hul mosie van wantroue.

Ms Gloria Komane said: They must talk and vote about this as soon as possible. They must discuss it then maybe after that things will go well.

Mr Isaac Mohlala said: They are just wasting their own time with this motion. The ideal would be if we could get a president from another party.

used & new m otor spares

Ms Mavis Tshehla, Ms Tina Makgabo and Ms Welma Maruma said: The opposition parties must just make sure how the people they represent feel about it. We think it will be good to discuss it. So far Zuma did not do very well, so maybe someone else can do better.

Mr Calvin Matjeke, Mr Charles Ramaube and Mr Lennox Ngwatle said: We want them to discuss this motion of no confidence. It is good that there is no confidence in the president. We feel Zuma has done nothing and that he should learn from Nelson Mandela. Under Zumas leadership the nation corrupted.

On Sunday last week Sylvester Khomotso Mpaketsane (Beckham as he was affectionately known) was laid to rest at Seelane Village near Twickenham Mine. Sylvester passed away together with three of his team mates in a motor accident near Polokwane two weeks ago. They were on their way back after a game at the University of Limpopo. His team drew 1-1 against FC AK on the day. Sylvester was born on 13 April 1985 and started his soccer career with the local team Manchester United. His football skills were recognised whenhe became the leading goal scorer in the SAFA SAB Sekhukhune Region during the 2007/ 2008 season. At the time he was playing for the Hungry Lions Football Club. Sylvester went to Lephalale to play fro Cosmos FC in the Vodacom league after his team, the Hungry Lions were sold out. He went on to play for Winners Park (also Vodacom league) where he took only five months before he was recruited by the then Bay United (now known as Polokwane City FC) in NFD. Sylvesters funeral was attended by local players, municipal representatives, people from different royal houses, club owners and many more. The dignitaries included Mr Thokwane (Chairperson SAFA SAB Sekhukhune Region), Mr Masha Killer (Secretary SAFA SAB Sekhukhune Region), Mr Abel Rakoma (SAFA NEC), Mr Tema (SAFA Acting CEO), PSL Life President Dr Leepile Taunyane.

Also present were: Mr Jonny Mogaladi (Club owner), Mr Vladislav Heric (Head coach), Mr Molepo (General Manager), Mr Jacky Styles Ledwaba (Mentor) and Mr Lovers Mohlala (Trainer). What a loss to South Africans. Sylvester was seen as a possible future Bafana striker. May his soul rest in peace, said Mr Jimmy Makola, Information gathered and compiled by: Jimmy Makola (PRO for Hungry Lions). and Jabu Stanley Mpaketsane(family representative).

Maatlopo United held to a draw
Maatlopo United was held to a draw by Leboa Brothers on Saturday last week. The game was played at Moroke Stadium and the visitors from Alverton scored first. During the second half both teams tried their best to score. Success came for Maatlopo in the 67th minute when Wisdom Mafolo scored with a powerful shot that game the oppositions keeper no chance. The game ended 1-1. Maatlopo United chose Daniel Mampuru, their new goalkeeper as Player of the Day. His excellent goalkeeping denied the visitors to go home with three points on the log. This week Maatlopo United will not be playing due to the Nedbank Cup games. (Information: Jimmy Makola, Maatlopo United Public Relations Officer). Maatlopo United played in the white and Leboa Brothers in the red and green.
