POLITICAL bickering apparently led to the death of a 22-year-old University of Limpopo student on Saturday morning.
It is alleged that three students, thought to be members of the South African Student Congress (Sasco), killed Mr Nkosinathi Lucky Mhlongo, a member of the Student Christian Organisation (SCO), following an argument over struggle songs. Mhlongo's body was found on the street next to Mankweng Hospital where it is believed he was thrown out of a moving taxi. Three men, Tebane Serumula (22), Raymond Mabelebele (23) and George Tswai (24) were arrested a few hours later. The students were returning from Tshwane where they took part in a march organised by the South African Union of Students.
It is alleged that the suspects were read more...

Municipalities will henceforth have to adhere to strict conditions in order to receive grants from the provincial treasury.
These measures are apparently being implemented in an effort to fast track rural development. MEC for treasury, Sa'ad Cachalia, said at the announcement of the province's budget last week that capacity challenges have impacted on municipalities.
"We cannot just put money where there is no capacity. If we do money will be lost," Cachalia said. He said rural development is a top priority for government and added that when economic difficulties arise, rural communities are inevitably the hardest hit.

At least 62 people died on South African roads between Friday and yesterday in what has been described as the bloodiest road carnage weekend this year.
In KwaZulu-Natal 31 people lost their lives while Limpopo accounted for the second highest figure of 17.
In Transkei eight soccer players returning from a soccer game in Tsolo died after a taxi they were travelling in collided with a bakkie on Sunday.
The accident happened near Madzikane-ka-Zuli Memorial Hospital at Mount Frere in the Eastern Cape.
KwaZulu Natal woke up to horrific crashes in separate accidents.
Ten people died in Inchanga near the Shongweni off-ramp, 14 others were killed in Nyanyadu near Dundee and three in Matubatuba.
In two of the accidents, a 10 year-old child and a four-year-old were killed and at least 13 others sustained serious injuries.
A horrific head-on collision between a minibus taxi and a truck between Dundee and Osizweni at P272 on Nyanyadu road left 12 passenger dead while five others were critically injured.
Jaws of life had to be used to remove passengers trapped in the minibus taxi.
In another accident, 10 people were killed and four others are in a critical condition in hospital after an accident involving two cars and a bakkie at Shongweni, near Marianhill toll plaza.
Transport department spokesman Nonkululeko Mbatha said the driver of a bakkie travelling from Durban to Pietermaritzburg allegedly lost control and swerved to the opposite direction and collided with two on-coming vehicles, one of them a VW.
In another accident in Mtubatuba on the north of the province, two teachers and a 10-year-old pupil at Mtikini primary school in Ingwavuma were killed instantly when the driver of a Ford Ikon they were travelling in lost control and overturned near Zamimpilo market.
The vehicle was reportedly carrying six teachers and pupils at the time of the accident.
In Limpopo seven people died when a bakkie collided with a sedan near the Ranch Hotel just outside Polokwane on Sunday.
"The driver of the bakkie apparently lost control and veered off the road and rammed into the Tazz killing six of the occupants instantly," said police spokesman, Senior Superintendent Ronnel Otto.
She said the driver of the bakkie died as he was being rushed to a hospital in Polokwane. He sustained serious head and body injuries.
Another four people died on Friday afternoon when a BMW X5 crashed head on with Nissan Micra between Sekgakgapeng and Mokopane.

Angry pupils at Kabelo High School at Ga-Rametlwana near Polokwane ran amok yesterday, smashing school windows and assaulting teachers.
They assaulted and chased teachers out of classrooms in protest against the transfer of maths and science teachers in January.
Police were called to the school to quell the volatile situation, but their presence did not seem to deter the angry pupils.
Senior Superintendent Mohale Ramatseba said some teachers were assaulted but did not suffer any serious injuries. He said investigations were continuing.
The situation was later brought to normality by the pupils' parents, who offered to negotiate with the school management on their behalf while they went back to classes.
The pupils are protesting against what they call "teacher truancy" through their failure to teach.
They also protested against the transfer of two maths and science teachers.
The pupils told Sowetan yesterday that the two teachers also taught English and life orientation, and that since they left in January no teaching of these subjects had taken place.
"We are behind with our school syllabus. We came to school to learn and not to sit in the classrooms without being taught.
"How can you study when no lessons take place.
"We want our teachers back or we will resort to mass destruction of school property," said pupil representative Eliot Chokoe.
Chokoe said the protest would continue until the end of the week if their two teachers were not brought back.
School principal PJ Motsepe and members of the school governing body (SGB) were still locked in a meeting when Sowetan visited the school.
Ndo Manga, spokesman for the education department in Limpopo, was unavailable for comment.
The protest comes three weeks after pupils at Nthube High School forced the authorities to promote them in spite of their dismal performances.
A week earlier, pupils at Sewela Batho High dismissed their principal and a teacher after they accused the two officials of meting out corporal punishment.

| Blacks are experiencing racism daily I was in Polokwane, Limpopo, on Saturday afternoon when I drove past an ordinary South African scene. Thousands of children were playing in several school fields. Parents were packed around the fields, watching rugby, track and other sporting activities. The parents yelled and whooped, encouraging their children. It was incredibly touching, and incredibly human, and it made me smile. As a parent, I identified with the pure human and parental instinct to encourage one's children. But something was wrong. Everyone was white. The children, the parents and teachers were all white. I stopped and looked. There has been anger by many at the barbaric video made by four University of the Free State students. The video shows elderly black workers being abused by the students in what they outrageously claim was their contribution to debate on integration at the university. Several times last week, as the outrage swelled, people wondered aloud how young people such as the four racist students in the video, raised in a new country, could do such a thing. "They are not from the apartheid era. They don't even know what apartheid was like. How could they do this?" one asked. The answer goes like this: Fourteen years after South Africa shook off the shackles of apartheid, the truth is that petty racism is alive and well in this country. The truth is that, for black people, racism is an experience lived almost daily. It is in simple things, such as utterances that are thrown about without a thought that one's countrymen are offended by them. It is in crude eruptions like the UFS video, the victims of which did not speak out until now. It is precisely because so many of us live with the reality of racism, so powerfully with us, everyday, that we have vowed never to reduce ourselves to the level of the racists. That is why so many of us are outraged that those who claim to know the pain of exclusion on racial grounds can suddenly be sanguine about the Forum for Black Journalists kicking whites out of a meeting. It is not right when it is done to us. It is not right when it is done by us to others, either. But why did those kids stage their horrible act of racism at UFS? It is because, to a very large extent, scenes like the one I saw in Polokwane are considered "normal" by many whites in South Africa. Those children have been to white schools all their lives, they live in households where their parents never nod towards the horror of apartheid and they only mix with other whites. Sure, the tournament could have been for Afrikaans- medium schools only. But where are the coloured children who speak Afrikaans? The head of the SA Human Rights Commission, Jody Kollapen, said last week that many white South Africans were reluctant to apologise for apartheid and its horrors, often saying that it was not intended or they did not know what happened. Kollapen went on to say that no conversation about the past, beyond the limits of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, took place in South Africa. This, he said, meant that South Africans did not start with a common understanding of what went wrong and how to go about rectifying it. The scenes at the whites-only tournament , and the eruptions at UFS, are precisely because many white South Africans still do not believe that black children can take up places besides their (white) children in the classrooms. The white children have ingested their parents' attitudes. Phumla Gobodo-Madikizela, author of A Human Being Died That Night, once said that many South Africans walk into a room and do not ask themselves why they are the only white people in it, or the only black people. The reason those kids at UFS abused those black men and women is simple. Their parents never took them to schools, or neighbours, or friends, or restaurants, where they walked in and saw black people and white people together as equals. Those kids are racists because their parents and their schools and the U F S, consciously or unconsciously, raised them racist. And they raised them racist because they have never acknowledged that they were once — and perhaps are still — racist. http://www.polokwaneonline.com http://polokwanechats.blogspot.com/ http://polokwanechatter.blogspot.com/ | |

Five Limpopo police officers have appeared in the Kriel Magistrate's Court for allegedly repeatedly raping a 12-year old girl, provincial police said on Friday.
Police spokesperson Abie Khoabane said the girl had come to the police to report an abusive father in 2006 who was always fighting with the girl and her mother.
"The police, aged between 25 and 35, said to the girl 'we'll solve your problems for sexual activity'."
Since 2006 until this Thursday, the girl was raped by the five policemen on different occasions, sometimes at her house and sometimes after being brought to the police barracks.
Recently, other police officials came to speak at the girl's school about abuse and domestic violence and the need to "break the silence".
Khoabane said the girl then told a teacher about the abuse.
On Thursday, when the alleged rapists found out other police were taking the girl's statement about the abuse, one of them went to her to intimidate her and also raped her.
Khoabane said police began their investigations and arrested the policemen on Friday morning.
They appeared on Friday in the Kriel Magistrate's Court on charges of statutory rape, intimidation, corruption and attempts to defeat the ends of justice.
They remain in custody and will reappear in court on 7 March for a bail application. They were suspended immediately without pay.
"We will take them head on" in departmental investigations, said Khoabane.
"We expect them to protect children against any forms of violence and abuse."

The festival, which was officially launched on March 2006, is aimed at celebrating the indigenous fruits of the amarula tree – marula.

Free morula beer, food and music will be the order of the day.

The Limpopo department of education needs 3200 maths and science teachers in an effort to fight the chronic shortage of scarce skills.
Department MEC Aaron Motsoaledi said on Wednesday that the province needs 1600 qualified teachers in maths and 1600 teachers in science in the province's schools.
Motsoaledi said his department aims to turn the erstwhile Kwena Moloto College of Education in Seshego near Polokwane into a school where teachers and post-matric students would be trained in maths and science subjects.
People who have matriculated with such subjects often qualify to pursue careers in engineering, architecture and medicine, Motsoaledi said.
"The first group who have undergone similar training at Mastec college were a group of 50 teachers.
"They finished their training course yesterday and they will be placed in different circuit offices in the province as curriculum advisors.
"The other group of 500 will commence their training in April and then be dispatched to schools in the province for the same reason.
"This would help us to fight the serious shortage of maths and science teachers in our province and even extend beyond into other provinces," said Motsoaledi.
He was speaking minutes before the pronouncement of the province's budget delivered in Lebowakgomo by Limpopo provincial treasury MEC Seth Cachalia.
"We believe we will also receive a fat slice of the budget which will enable us to deliver our promise with precision and distinction," Motsoaledi said.

Lebowakgomo - A 21-year-old man has been arrested on charges of threatening to shoot his mother.
His mother phoned the police after her son, who dropped out of school last year, arrived home late on Wednesday and accused her of treating him badly.
"She said he threatened to shoot her if she didn't treat him better. When he went to his bedroom, she quickly phoned the police," said Captain Mamphaswa Seabi, spokesperson for the Lebowakgomo police station near Polokwane.
He said that when police arrived at the house in Makotse village, they found him asleep.
The woke him up, arrested him and confiscated two unlicensed firearms, a 9mm pistol and a 7.65mm pistol.

Some of the frustrations experienced by poor households who have survived without electricity in Polokwane, Limpopo, are now coming to an end.
The city's municipality has embarked on a master plan, dubbed the "Electricity Rehabilitation Programme", which focuses on the free installation of electricity in houses within its area of jurisdiction.
About 1500 households will benefit from the project which is already in the works.
According to municipality spokesman Simon Mokoatedi the project for the upgrading of existing infrastructure and the installation of electricity in poverty-stricken households will cost millions.
Mokoatedi told Sowetan yesterday that R1million had already been spent on the installation of high and low voltage electrical systems in the township of Seshego outside the provincial capital, Polokwane.
"For the past two financial years we have allocated R1million to meet the needs for electricity in every household.
"We began by upgrading the old infrastructure to supplement more power," Mokoatedi said.
"This is part of the government's policy to provide free basic services to the needy."
The project, currently running in Seshego Zone 2 and 3, has brightened life for many families in the huge township.
Most of the houses set to benefit from the scheme are those built by the old apartheid government.
Mokete Seshibe, a 72-year-old widow, is justifiably on cloud nine about the installation of free electricity for her and her family.
Over the past years she has struggled to support her large family on her meagre pension and has been unable to pay for electricity.
"My life and that of my children and grandchildren is about to change. We have been living in darkness for the past 20 years and now this is like a dream come true," Seshibe says.
"I have been longing for this moment to come but with the social grant that I receive every month, I couldn't afford to instal electricity.
"But now that the municipality has come up with this plan, I am looking forward to a new, bright life."
