Initiation schools kick off

The Limpopos 142 permitted initiation schools have commenced on the 14 June 2013 and will end on the 13 July 2013. The turnout is still low due to the fact that academic schools have not yet closed. The Limpopo House of Traditional Leaders has dispatched a team to investigate allegations of illegal schools opened in Capricorn, Waterberg, Sekhukhune and Mopani Districts. The MEC for CoGHSTA, Mr. Clifford Motsepe called on all permit holders to adhere to initiation school prescripts and encouraged parents to verify the legitimacy of initiation schools they intend sending their children to with their respective Traditional Authorities. All these efforts are to ensure that the epochal practice achieves the intended cultural objectives - without anyone giving it a bad name. The Working Committee on Initiation Schools meets on a weekly basis to consider reports compiled by frontline staff from various initiation school sites. The front line staff is from CoGHSTA, the Health Department and Police respectively. Their role is to monitor these initiation schools to ensure an incident free season. Currently there is no incidents reported. The Department appreciates the cooperation of Traditional Leaders for their support in ensuring that Limpopo is ready to host initiates and to have death free initiation season. Once again the Department strongly requests communities, particularly parents or guardians to send their children to the approved initiation schools in the five districts of the Limpopo Province. For the approved or legitimate name list please do not hesitate to contact the departmental call center on 0800 687 432.

Khosi Netshimbupfe Munyadziwa Alpheus of Tshimbupfe Traditional Council passes away

CoGHSTA has announced that the former Deputy Chairperson of the Limpopo House of Traditional Leaders, Khosi Netshimbupfe M.A passed away on 17 June 2013. In a media release the Department says The department has in deed lost one of its committed leaders with a passion for transforming traditional communities. The MEC for CoGHSTA, Mr Clifford Motsepe sends his sincere condolences to the family, friends, colleagues and people of Limpopo. We honored and revered Khosi Netshimbupfe our brother, father.

Fun day with Leboeng Police

On Thursday 2013-06-13 children from Mokgalapula Crche of Leboeng (Ga Mabelane village) and Motshabeng Creche from Ga Mashamothane visited Leboeng SAPS. The young ones enjoyed their day with the station commander, Captain Solomon Moholane. The purpose of their visit was to inform them about the Police and show them in practice what the Police do to keep citizens safe. Their teacher, Mrs Salmina Mashele says the children are always asking to see police officials and most of them said they want to become police officers when they are grown up. Then they want to arrest the criminals .... Constable Ando Maake guided the toddlers through the Police station and showed them the inside of a Police van, creating much exitement. Captain Moholane say This partnerships with learners help us to eradicate the root causes of crime. Most of the youth find themselves behind bars at an early age. In the photograph posing with the little ones are Captain Moholane, Constable Maake, Mrs Mashele, Mrs Lindiwe Mogakala and Mrs Maitana Sedibe.

Is debt a problem in the

Consumers are struggling to keep their credit record clean. According to the National Credit Regulator the number of impaired records is now standing at 9.53 million. Impaired records are those consumers who are three or more payments or months in arrears, or has been handed over or written off, or against which a judgement/administration order has been obtained. Government is currently considering credit amnesty for financially impaired consumers. Banks are however objecting to this as consumers could walk out with a clean slate and this will make judging the risk of lending money to them in future much more difficult. According to the TransUnions quarterly consumer credit index, credit health has deteriorated in South Africa for the fourth consequtive quarter. Only 10.55 million consumers in South Africa are currently being rated as in good credit standing. Research shows that consumers tend to default on school fees first, then on rent and insurance. Unsecured lending over the past five years also contributed to the current situation. Approximately R30 thousand million in unsecured loans were granted like this in the past year. The interest rate on such unsecured loans is very high and contributes to the repayment struggle. According to Ms. Bernadene de Clercq, head of Unisas personal finance unit especially low income groups need the debt to finance their living expenses. They need it to survive due to the increases in living costs. They are not necessarily wasting money through the debt they obtain, they are merely trying to survive, she explained. Recently during the State of the Local Municipality Address the people of Tubatse was said to have employment and money, hence the efforts to bring shopping malls and a casino to the area. We asked readers if they think the people in this area also struggle with debt and why they have that opinion.

Mr Brisco Matlala said: The majority of people in this area are low-income people and the standard of living is very high. They are bound tight with all their debt. They make debt for necessities. Food is expensive.

Mr Delphas Malatji said: Ja, debt here is a big problem. The problem is people use money they dont really have. The furniture stores are also guilty. They screen people for credit, but still give it to people who are not going to be able to pay it back.

Mnr. Frans Maphanga s: Dis n probleem. By Burgersfort is die geld baie, maar die mense wil altyd nuwe goed h en dan maak hulle skuld. Hulle koop op die rekening of credit card.

Mr Karim Dadie said: Yes, I work at Burgersfort Pharmacy. Ive been here for a month or so now. I see that if a patient walks in and needs something that is not on medical aid, they will not take R10 to buy it out of their pockets. If you have disposable income, you are willing to take the cash for necessities. This is to me the indication of people in the areas debt and cash flow situation.

Mr Zacharia Setshabe said: People in this area have a problem with debt as well. Sometimes people want things they did not plan for. People want new cars and clothes etc. Then they open accounts to get it.

Mr Shadreck Pandala said: It is a problem. We do not live in a separate South Africa. Economic conditions affect everyone. Not everyone in this area works for a mine. Things go up and peoples income is not enough. You go into a shop with R1000 and come out with nothing. There is money in Tubatse but it is in the hands of a few.

Ms Boledi Masete said: Many people offer loans. Cash loans and loans for buying furniture. I think these people are a problem. A lot of people also have cash loans they have to repay and this makes them struggle. They dont plan to get through on the money they earn. Mr Eric Ndukula said: Im not sure about the debt problem here, but in general people have a lot of debt. People dont check that they will be able to pay loans back. People end up paying debt with debt. We have to learn to save. People should stop going for credit. Teach the kids to start saving. With him is Tshepo. Links: Mnr. Hendrik Heyneke s: Skuld is maar n probleem oral. As jy net sien hoe die mense in Burgersfort bly dan kan jy sien skuld is n probleem. Mikrolenings is net so n groot probleem. By hom is Laroshall Heyneke, Dylan, Aiden en Jessica asook Yolandie Erasmus.

Burgersfort area?

Mr Phillip Mushaikwa said: It is in general a problem. If you look at South Africa the economy is consumer driven. Burgersfort is a mining area and salaries tend to be high. People are given big buying power and they use it whether they have the money in hand or not. Businesses here also seem to raise prices and things are seldom bought with cash. A lot needs to be done in this area in terms of financial literacy. You must first work and then earn.

Mr Maxy Selahle said: It is a problem here. We spend money to impress others. Just to compete people buy things. Many young people work in the mines and dont know how to wisely spend their money. They dont think about the future. What will happen if the place where you work have to scale down due to the tough economy? Will you have savings?

Mnr. Assie van Aswegen s: Die hele Limpopo is vrot van die skuld. Alles wat gebou word is tot voordeel van kontrakteurs. Die geld gaan nie na plaaslike mense nie, maar na kontrakteurs. Mense het nie geld nie.

Mnr Jan Rammutla s: Die mense het nie geld hier by ons nie. Ons het baie skuld. Cashloans vat baie van die geld.

Ms Samantha Matete said: People are alright around here. They dont owe too much money and know how to save. Above: Mr Petrus Mohlala said: There is debt around here. This is because of the shortage of jobs. People dont have experience here and the open spaces are filled with people from other areas. People here try to survive on loans. They get too many loans.

Mr Given Kgoete (right) said: People of Burgersfort get too much money. They dont owe that much. Debt is not a problem here. Mr Frans Lewele said: People here dont have money. It often works that a boss gets R25 000 a month and the worker only R1500 a month. How can you live on R1500 a month and provide for your family? We go to the cashloans to survive.

Ms Patricia Riba said: There is a lot of debt in Burgersfort. Clothing accounts is a problem. People want all the new things.

Ms Jane Malepe said: People have lots of loans here. They struggle to pay it back. They want to stay in a nice house and have a nice car so they have too many accounts.

Regs: Mnr. Leon Lombard s: Skuld hier is nie so n groot probleem soos in die stad nie. Mense hier verdien meer as in die stad. Ek het op die radio gehoor hulle s mense kry krediet al is hulle op die swartlys en dit is n probleem. Wat plaaslike ontwikkeling betref dink ek hoe meer besighede hier kom hoe beter. By hom is Renique en Edward.

Rham United faces off with Tubatse Masters

Rham United FC from Magabane Village hosted Tubatse Masters FC on Sunday afternoon at the Mangabane soccer stadium. The game was the first Rham United played in their new uniform (white clothes on the photographs). Rham United scored the first goal, but the Tubatse Masters was not going to make a win easy for the home team. Their defence was good and they missed on a few opportunities to score. In the end it was however Rham United who took the lead on the scoreboard. They won the game 3-4. Anyone who would like to organise a game against Rham United FC from Mangabane can contact Ephraim on 072 748 4987. (Information: Rham United FC).
