The executive mayor of the Vhembe District, Cllr Falaza Mdaka, accompanied by the mayor of Thulamela Municipality, Khosi Vho Thivhulawi Makumbane, visited the bereaved Kharivhe family at Mukula outside Thohoyandou this week.

The establishment of a Christian tertiary institution in Limpopo moved a leap forward with the presentation of the vision for such an institution at Bungeni Community Hall a fortnight ago.

A 22-year-old woman from Nancefield in Musina was raped several times by three knife-wielding men while her brother watched helplessly. They then robbed her of R27 and a cellphone, police have said.

A member of 15 SAI Battalion of the South African Defence Force, Rfn Meshack Kharivhe (35), appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate´s Court on Monday on four charges of murder. He allegedly went berserk on Saturday evening and mercilessly bludgeoned his wife and three children to death with a spade.

2 Squadron and 85 Flying School at Air Force Base Makhado came under new command on Friday, March 28.

Vir ‘n verandering was Eskom nie hierdie keer direk verantwoordelik vir die feit dat Louis Trichardt verlede Donderdag vir ongeveer ses ure sonder elektrisiteit gesit het nie.

The Makhado Municipality’s apparent failure to consider road safety when planning new residential development and its failure to honour agreements have created a life-threatening situation for residents and the general public using the N1 through Louis Trichardt.

Inwoners het die afgelope naweek vir die soveelste keer sonder water gesit, nadat ‘n werknemer van die munisipaliteit na bewering ‘n oordeelsfout begaan het en ‘n toevoerkraan te vinnig oopgedraai het. Die gevolg was dat die pypleiding nie die vinnige druktoename kon hanteer nie, wat ‘n pyp laat bars het.

The song goes "There are more questions than answers", and another old saying bemoans the fact that "Just when I figured out all the answers, they changed all the questions". This is how one feels if one reads the minutes of the Makhado council meeting held on March 31.

At a meeting of the Makhado municipal council held on March 31 two items dealing with an earlier decision taken by the executive committee (Exco) of Council not to allow any new property development to take place in town were removed. This would seem to indicate that no moratorium on new property developments exists until Council has endorsed it.

The new taxation rates on property have been determined and were accepted by the Makhado municipal council at their meeting on March 31. Taxpayers will now be able to do their own calculations in this regard to make sure they are not being overtaxed.
