Danville residents fixing their own street
Danville residents in Cycus Street popular as Old Church Street were over the weekend repairing and fixing their street, damaged by the recent heavy rains. The flowing water had prevented residents from walking and driving through the streets. The gesture of repairing the street was a motivation of encouraging many other community residents to start playing a volatile role by engaging in certain responsibilities on their own unlike expecting the government to always provide for them.

Addressing Premier Maape, local mayors of Mahikeng Local and Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipalities (Khumalo Molefe and Tshepiso Mphehlo) Kgosi Jeff Montshioa of the Barolong nation, senior government officials as well as business leaders, Dr Mike Nkuna, chairperson of Masingita Group of Companies invited the provincial government to allow his company access to the province to for them to be part of the development of the region.
Dr Nkuna remembered the role the former Bop administration had played in the development of the homeland which had resulted in a massive infrastructure growth which process unfortunately was neglected by the new administration.
He further invited the North West government to open up investment opportunities by among others, making available tax incentives by offering tax holidays to would be investors which would attract investors to the province.
Throwing the gauntlet at the North West government, Dr Nkuna told Premier Maape that his company was “very interested in the Mahikeng Airport which had been neglected over the years, adding that he admired the vision of the leadership of Bophuthatswana (Lucas Mangope) government for the role they played in the development of
Bophuthatswana. “We are interested in the Mahikeng Airport. We will and want to work with you and want to partner with you in the reconstruction of the airport. We would like to play a meaningful role and also play part in rebuilding and redeveloping Mahikeng Airport. We will avail ourselves to such an initiative or project”, he said to a loud applause.
In his response, Premier Maape welcomed Dr Nkune’s challenge on the Mahikeng airport and “threw the gauntlet back to Dr Nkuna” adding that “we are happy for the offer to work with us. We are also happy that you have joined our chorus.
“We are impressed by your simplicity and humbleness. We are happy to collaborate with you in a journey to create something bigger and make our dreams a reality.
He welcomed the opening of the mall which he said helped the provincial government’s initiative of job creation.
The Mahikeng airport debacle, Maape said would take a long time to be resolved as the process was still entangled in a legal battle.
Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality executive mayor, Khumalo Molefe praised Dr Nkuna for “his simplicity and being an inspiration” adding that the project would address the worrying unemployment rate in the district.

Comment
Comment by Bobby Saul of 13 Martin Street, Galleria Arcade, Mafikeng.
Dear Fellow South Africans,
Last week much of the country experienced load shedding as breakdowns at several of Eskom’s power stations resulted in the loss of substantial generation capacity.
Load shedding costs our economy dearly.
It causes great frustration among all South Africans and creates hardship for households and businesses. A stable and reliable supply of electricity is essential for almost every aspect of our daily lives and a necessary condition for economic growth. That is why we are focused on achieving energy security as one of our foremost priorities. The country has been experiencing power shortages on and off for more than a decade.
However, we are determined that this should not continue to be a part of our lives into the future.
Even as we continue to experience crippling load-shedding, the reality is that much progress has been made towards ending our energy supply challenges. To solve this intractable problem, we need to understand its roots.
South Africa’s fleet of coal-fired power stations are old and their performance is deteriorating.
Despite warnings from energy experts about impending energy shortages nearly two decades ago, there was a delay in commissioning new generation capacity. When construction began on Medupi power station in Limpopo in 2007 it was the first power station to be built by Eskom in more than 20 years. Medupi has subsequently been beset by delays, costs overruns and breakdowns due to design problems, with many of these challenges linked to allegations of corruption.
For years, the existing power stations were not maintained properly, particularly as these plants were made to ‘run harder’ to meet the country’s energy needs. There was insufficient investment in the technical skills needed to operate and maintain power plants.
This situation was made worse by the devastating impact of state capture. Billions of Rands were diverted from critical operational requirements at Eskom into private pockets.
Eskom’s huge debt burden, including more than R36 billion of outstanding municipal debt, undermines Eskom’s ability to improve its maintenance, infrastructure build and other operations. In short, the load shedding we experience now is the result of policy missteps and the impact of state capture over many years.
This is the situation that we have confronted since the start of this administration and that we are all working to fix. In doing so, we owe the board and management of Eskom our full support as they work to turn the utility around. They have to keep the lights on while rebuilding Eskom as a viable entity that fulfils its developmental mandate as a state owned enterprise, and positioning it for a just energy transition.
We also owe our full support to the many hardworking employees of Eskom, including power plant workers. Despite many challenges, they are doing their best to keep our ageing plants running and supply the electricity the country needs. It may be difficult to imagine a future without load shedding, but the steps we are taking now will ensure that we get there.
The process of structural reform this administration embarked on in 2018 will have a far-reaching impact on the South African energy landscape, even if the changes will take time to bear fruit. In 2018, we revived the
Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme that had been stalled since 2015. This enabled 2,205 MW from Bid Window 4 to proceed to construction, most of which has now been connected to the grid.
A further 5,200 MW of solar and wind power is being procured through Bid Windows 5 and 6. This additional generation capacity is due to connect to the grid from late 2023. The Integrated Resource Plan 2019 provides for a further 3,000 MW of gas and 500 MW of battery storage to be procured from independent power producers.
In June 2021, I announced that the licensing threshold for new generation projects would be raised from 1 MW to 100 MW. This means that private investors do not require a license to build generation facilities up to this size and can produce their own power or sell it across the grid to other buyers. A joint task team comprising all relevant government departments and the private sector is working to accelerate investments in new generation projects under 100 MW. There is a pipeline of 58 projects under development with a combined capacity of 4,500 MW, many of which will commence construction this year. The task team is working to speed up environmental authorisation and other approvals.
South Africa’s energy security can only be assured if we reduce reliance on a single utility for power and unlock private investment in generation capacity. This is one of the most important reforms contained in the draft Electricity Regulation Amendment Bill that was gazetted for public comment in February.
The Bill provides for the establishment of an independent transmission and system operator.
This means that while the national grid will remain owned and controlled by the state, there will be competition among multiple generators selling power to distributors and customers.
The introduction of a competitive electricity market will unleash new investment in generation capacity and will be a key driver of economic growth. This reform process has already begun with the establishment of a separate transmission subsidiary by Eskom in December 2021, with the unbundling of Eskom on track to be completed by December 2022. For its part, Eskom is forging ahead with its maintenance programme and with correcting design defects in its plants at Medupi and Kusile. It is also decommissioning old power stations that have reached the end of their design life and repurposing others to use cleaner energy sources. Eskom is also bringing in additional skills to assist with maintenance, including former employees and experienced plant managers.
It is difficult to expect the millions of South Africans grappling with the inconvenience and hardship caused by intermittent power outages to remain patient as we resolve these longstanding challenges. It is difficult to convince them, as they sit in the dark, that we are making progress towards a secure and reliable supply of electricity.
But the reality is that the energy landscape is being transformed, the problems at Eskom are steadily being addressed and substantial new energy generation capacity is being built.
It is difficult and unacceptable for South Africans to endure load-shedding. But we are doing everything in our means to ensure that, like state capture, it soon becomes a thing of the past.
With best regards,
President Cyril Rampahoza The opening of the new Morena Shopping
Complex or shopping Mall in Mmabatho might not mean anything dramatic to some people but from where we stand, the opening of the 10 shops anchored by Checkers and Cash Build mean a lot as far as addressing one of South Africa’s most crucial challenges is concerned. Indeed the complex has created more than 300 job opportunities for all people especially for the youth now employed who previous had no chance of soliciting work anytime soon or who were facing the possibly of spending the next weeks, months of even years being unemployed.
Most of the businesses operating at the complex have employed mostly young people which in itself are a hearting development which augurs well for the future of Mahikeng. It is common knowledge that it is young people who have mostly been severely affected by unemployment which has forced government to call for intervention and assistance from business owners.
Government has been and continue to be in the firingline from the public who have accused the administration of failing to create jobs for young people leaving many graduated youth struggling to find employment.
We agree with President Cyril Ramaphosa that while government alone cannot be held responsible to create employment, the private sector needed to step in and assist government to create employment for those struggling to feed and support their families and lead a dignified life.
We therefore applaud both the provincial government and the Mahikeng Local and Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipalities for permitting the owners of the Masingita Group of Companies to invest in Mahikeng through the construction of the Morena shopping mall.
North West Premier, Bushy Maape who spoke at the launch of the new shopping complex welcomed the opening of the mall
which he said his government was looking forward to contribute to job creation and help to uplift the economy of the provincial capital.
The mall was also expected to help contribute to the infrastructure development of Mahikeng and the Ngaka Modiri Molema District which Premier Maape said had been a worrying development for the provincial administration. In his observation, Dr Mike Nkuna, chairperson of the Masingita Group of Companies who are owners of the mall remarked that he had been impressed by the erstwhile Bophuthatswana regime’s vision for development of the former homeland, especially the growth of Mmabatho which hosted the headquarters of Bophuthatswana.
He expressed the hope that the new government would use the Bop vision and experience to find ways to contribute towards new infrastructure development.
And as South Africa yesterday (April 27) celebrated its freedom from the years of colonialism and apartheid, the South African citizenry remain sceptical about the existence of real freedom and whether young people can truly say they are really free.
The fact that young people continue to struggle to find jobs remains a big worry for those in government. Making a living is a major headache for most people who cannot contribute to the socio-economic development of the country and worse still, they cannot support their families due to lack of income.
Based on these issues, we cannot blame the majority of many young people who argue that despite the country’s 27 years of freedom, they still have not benefited from the struggles their parents had gone through for many years.
We are all hoping for a better future and indeed hoping that one day all South Africans and our generations to come, would taste real freedom.
Celebrating freedom means that every single job creation must be welcomed
South Africa will celebrate 28 years of democracy as we recognise Freedom Day on 27 April. Over the last few decades, our country has come a long way. Literacy rates have increased from 82.4 percent to 95 percent , according to data from UNESCO. In 1994, 58 percent of public- school learners in Grade 12 passed matric, while in 2021 that figure was 76.4 percent.
At the same time, we have huge challenges, including an unemployment rate that has accelerated to 35 percent amid the COVID-19 pandemic. To address this, we need to do everything we can to upskill our citizens, using every means possible. Fortunately, education and technology have come a long way in the last 28 years — and distance learning provides a meaningful way to help South Africans, of any age, get ahead with accredited qualifications and short courses. Here are 5 reasons why:
Learning from anywhere, at anytime There are many education providers out there these days that work on a distance learning model where you can study anything from accounting to IT, software development, supply
chain management and much more without ever needing to attend face-to-face classes.
Study material can be delivered straight to your door, and you can start studying immediately, at any point in the year.
With petrol prices increasing, this saves you money and travel time. If you have a full-time job, you don’t have to plan your after-work time around classes or rushing to attend classes in the evenings.
Less restrictive entry requirements
Distance learning institutions typically have courses that suit many different people with different educational backgrounds.
There are courses that range from provider to accredited programmes, which offer entry level courses that only require a Grade 10 or 11.
If you’re older than 21 and you’d like to complete your matric, you can do this by studying towards Adult Matric, or the Amended Senior Certificate (ASC).
This qualification can help with getting into tertiary education as well, as long as you meet the requisite requirements.
More manageable
Many distance learning institutions allow you to study only a few subjects at a time. Apart from the financial benefit, colleges do this so that students don’t feel overwhelmed by the workload.
Even if you have enrolled for a few subjects, the likes of College SA sends your course material in batches. This is done so that you can complete a module and its assignments before moving on to the next module. This further allows you the opportunity to focus on one thing at a time – making it easier to fully understand your course material and attend to your other responsibilities.
Online study groups and forums
Many distance learning institutions will also have online study groups and discussion forums, where you can interact with fellow students and tutors, discuss course material, and ask for help.
Affordable payment options
By eliminating the extra costs that go along with studying, you only have to pay the tuition fees with a distance learning provider. You can pay your studies off in easy to manage monthly instalments, or study and pay for one subject at a time.
These costs can include your study material which means you don’t have to spend money on buying textbooks. In addition, in today’s world there are also many study financing providers who can help learners with funding their studies.
When taking all these benefits into consideration, it’s clear that, more than ever, South Africans have the freedom to structure their own study time, schedule and pace of learning.
And with Freedom Day coming up, we have an opportunity to reflect on this and make sure that we seek ways to take greater advantage of all the education tools at our disposal.
Freedom to learn: Why distance learning is changing the game

the load shedding tunnel
MAHIKENG MAIL-MAHIKENG: A delegation of the North West Provincial Government led by Premier Kaobitsa Bushy Maape, visited Deelpan village last week Thursday to find solutions for the flood stricken community of the Village.
Ninety-eight (98) households were displaced and were left in despair following heavy rains in the area where various government departments have provided different forms of support which include water, mobile clinics, food, blankets, counselling as well as Social Relief of Distress.
This was done together with Red Cross, Gift of the Givers, Old Mutual and Shoprite to provide support to the community.
The Department of Human Settlements l commenced a process of securing two hundred (200) housing units for residents who were left stranded by the floods.
The Department of Economic Development also conducted an assessment of businesses that have been affected and will in due course announce intervention measures.
Led by Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality Executive Mayor, Khumalo Molefe, a recovery plan for learners who were affected by the floods was on the cards where the provincial department of Education should implement compulsory winter classes for all
matriculants in the area. Premier Maape announced that the Provincial Disaster Management Center will liaise with their national counterparts to extend national services to the province. Premier Maape has also assembled a Task Team whose primary objective will be to monitor, assess and expedite intervention measures needed in the area. The team comprises of the Traditional Leadership, Councilor Molefe, MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlement and Traditional Affairs, Lenah Miga, MEC for Social Development, Boitumelo Moiloa as well as MEC for Economic Development Environment, Conservation and Tourism, Kenetswe Mosenogi.
Premier Maape has also tasked MEC Miga to consult with the affected families regarding relocation to the identified area as their houses were likely to be affected by the floods in the future.
Provincial Government supports the flood stricken community of Deelpan
The gesture began in Madibeng local municipality where over 40 councillors and community leaders were inducted into services rendered by the department and their responsibilities to work closely with the departmental officials.
The acting head of department, James Mashigo, informed councillors that they played key roles between the communities that they were leading and the department.
“We can’t do it alone. We need municipalities and everybody in the human settlements sector to work in a more integrated process, as we are guided by the district development model. The department and you as community leaders, have responsibilities, to ensure that services are rendered within respective communities. It is therefore pivotal to ensure that we both have a clear understanding of each other’s roles and responsibilities. We need to be in the same band wagon,” said Mashigo.
The department outlined list of services worth millions of rands, to councillors in attendance. The services range from housing delivery, informal settlements upgrade, purchasing of land for housing development, title deed restoration programme, housing development for military veterans and many others following backlogs of delivering services.
The department further called on municipalities to enforce its bylaws to stop continues mushrooming of informal settlements prevalent in mining areas like Madibeng, where migrant workers preferred to stay closer to their work place.
However the department also took the opportunity to outline some of the Human Settlements Minister’s priority programme of eradicating mud houses as they were prone
to recent reoccurring disasters and Asbestos roofs among others.
The acting head of department James Mashigo encouraged councillors to make sure that they understand the challenges within their areas, as it’s their responsibility to refer such to local municipalities and the departments. He further appealed to them to prioritise women, elderly people, child headed households, the youth and other vulnerable groups.
Mashigo said that Human Settlements is a caring department and the gesture will also make it to be more responsive to housing challenges experienced by communities on daily basis.
“Municipality must have a digital beneficiary register.
From that register they should be able to prioritize those that are in dire need, especially the vulnerable groups,” said Mashigo.
The department is planning to take such sessions to other municipalities to make sure that all councillors understand departmental programmes and its processes.

MAHIKENG MAIL-MOTHOTLUNG: Police in Mothotlung said they were investigating a case of murder and another of attempted murder after a 38-year-old man was shot and killed while a woman, aged 30, was struck by a stray bullet on Sunday afternoon, April 24 at Mothotlung near Brits.
Reports suggested that the 38-year-old man was outside of Mothotlung Community Hall where he attended a meeting when a white BMW vehicle entered and stopped in the premises where two occupants, wearing face masks, alighted from the vehicle and opened fire on the man.
In the process, a woman was struck on her left thigh by a stray bullet. The suspects then jumped into their vehicle and fled from the scene.
Sadly, the man was certified dead on the scene by Emergency Medical Rescue Services (EMRS), while the 30-year-old woman was taken to hospital for medical treatment.
The motive of the shooting is still unknown with no arrests on the case. Investigation into the matter continues.
Police would urge anyone who might have information that can assist in the investigation to contact the Investigating Officer, Detective Constable Tsholofelo Mohale on 082 373 9814 or the South African Police Service (SAPS) Crime Stop number: 08600 10111. Anonymous tip-offs can also be communicated via My SAPS Application. All information received will be treated with strictest confidentiality.
MAHIKENG MAIL-MAHIKENG: The Police management in the Bojanala Platinum Sub-District 1 in Brits, has warned truck drivers about the escalating truck hijackings occurring in the policing precincts of Mmakau and Mothotlung in Brits.
The warning was issued after several cases were reported between February and April 2022. In one of the incidents at Mothotlung on Wednesday, April 13, a 59-year-old truck driver was sent by his employer to collect goods in Brits. He was provided with a cell phone number and location of the client’s for collection.
Upon arrival at the said location, he called the client who sent someone to accompany him to the collection site. The truck driver and the man proceeded to Mothotlung via Damonsville. It is alleged that the pair met with another man, who was supposed to direct and accompany them to the collection site. After getting in the truck, he allegedly pointed the driver with a firearm and instructed him to start the truck. Suddenly, the third man emerged, but the driver proceeded and ultimately stopped at Mothotlung cemetery where he was forced out of the truck at gunpoint. The suspects tied his hands and legs with a rope, then robbed him of his cell phone, bank card and an undisclosed amount of cash before driving off with the truck. In another separate incident which took place on Wednesday, March 16 2022, a 26-year-old truck driver, who was accompanied by a crew member, went to collect a container in Brits. Upon arrival at the collection point, they were approached by three unknown males where one of
them pointed them with a firearm and instructed that the truck be stopped. The suspects allegedly tied the victims up, then searched and robbed them of their cell phones, bank cards and an undisclosed amount of cash. Consequently, the suspects drove off with the truck and left the victims stranded in the bushes near a mine. Truck drivers are therefore urged to be vigilant at all times, especially when they are to meet with unknown clients. Furthermore, they must avoid meeting in secluded areas, but rather use frequented public places, such as fuel stations.
As a collaborative programme between the DWS, Department of Education (DoE) and other sector departments, the SAYWP competition is aimed at promoting the protection of the country’s natural resources.
This competition further increases awareness amongst learners particularly those that are doing Grade 9-11 studying Maths and Science. These learners are encouraged to identify water related challenges in their schools or communities and craft water saving solutions through awareness and inventions. In his opening remarks, the Director of Water Services Support, Lebogang Bogopa indicated that South Africa was one of driest countries in the world, therefore skilled engineers in the water sector and those that were focusing on science and technology are still required in order to manage the country’s water resources. In addition, the Provincial SAYWP coordinator, Peter Mogosetso took it upon himself to express gratitude and commend all schools who competed in this year’s competition.
“In both awareness and invention categories, all schools have shown great potential and the educators, and the department will continue elevating learners potential so as to continue contributing positively towards the development of this country, Mogosetso stressed”
The following schools emerged victorious; ZM
Seatlholo Secondary School bagged 1st position, which qualified them to a cash prize amounting to R6000, laptops and a departmental bursary to study any water related courses at the universities of their choices. As a cherry on top the school will be accorded an opportunity to represent North West Province at the national SAYWP to be held on May 20 in Pretoria.
Other winners on the day were Curro Academy Mahikeng, these learners and their school will receive a cash prize amounting to R5000.00 and laptops, and Maselwanyane Secondary school will receive a cash prize amounting to R4000.00 and laptops. Mogosetso further said that the SAYWP competitions begins at provincial level, proceeds to the national and ultimately international stage where the national winner will represent South Africa in the Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP) in Sweden. The eventual national winner gets a chance to compete with learners from 30 countries annually.
In his concluding remarks Mogosetso stated that those who did not qualify for the national SAYWP competition will be given another opportunity to participate in other departmental competitions such as Aqua Enduro in May and Public Speaking in June this year, and those who wish to study through DWS bursary may visit DWS website and download the bursary application forms.

MAHIKNEG MAIL-MAIL-MAHIKENG: The Committee on Education, Arts, Culture and Sports Development said the Department of Education needed to submit a report how the department was going to address the issue of building proper schools and stop the use of mobile classes and why some libraries staff members were paid salaries by the department and others by municipality.
“A report should also be submitted”- Mataboge
This was emphasized by the committee during a visit to Tigane Community Library, Boskail Combined School and Lebaleng Community Library. The Senior Librarian, Nkagisang Dire said the library was functioning well except the unavailability of the library automated system, the internet and telephone lines. “All staff members appointed by the library are paid by the municipality not the department as the situation is in certain libraries. Due to lack of the internet the membership for the library have decreased,” said Dire. She also informed the Committee that there is no sufficient security the library is only allocated a security personnel only during the day and not provided for at nights. The Director Librarians from the Department of Culture, Arts and Traditional Affairs, Tinyeko Sempe informed the Committee that the department is working hand in handed with the Office of the Premier in ensuring that they provide all the libraries in the province with internet. “The department is waiting for the update from Office of the Premier on the matter,” said Sempe. At Boskail Combined School, the Acting
Principal of the school Ms. Nyokong informed the Committee that the school have Grade R to Grade 12 and the educators are over stretched with workload. “The Grade R class is not allocated a qualified teacher as the teacher who is supposed to be teaching the class is also teaching Grade 2 and three other classes,” said Nyokong. She also said the school does not have enough classrooms and a staff room. “We use the mathematics lab as a stuff room. Learners from farms around Makwassi are not allocated transport they are forced to walk to school and they end arriving late for school,” said Nyokong. The Chief Education Specialist from the Department of Education, Mr. Mokgosi who is also responsible for infrastructure informed the Committee that the
department will be providing the school with three mobile classes to mitigate the shortage of classes and removing the other two old asbestos classes.
He further said the department was intending to deal away with mobile classes and build bricks structures as they seem to be cheaper than the mobile classes. “A report should also be submitted on how it will address the matter of Grade R class and when are they appointing a qualified grade R teacher for the school,” said Mataboge. The Library Asssitant at Lebaleng Community library, Matiro Segokwa informed the Committee that the library is functioning well although there are few challenges.
“The Library’s automated system is not functioning but the Maquassi Local Municipality is providing the library with internet and they have 8 computers used by the community and printing services is also provided,” said Segokwa. She also said the only challenge they are facing is from the licking roof and lately it rains daily and the issue is frustrating, toilets handles also not working and the library doesn’t have a security personnel allocated.

North West Department of Health marks the World Malaria Day
MAHIKENG MAIL-MAHIKENG: World Malaria Day is observed every year on April
25 to raise awareness to the global fight against malaria and recognise the existence of malaria across the globe.Malaria is transmitted through the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes that are
infected by the plasmodium parasite. And when a mosquito bites a human, a parasite is released into the bloodstream causing malaria.
Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease thought it continues to have a devastating impact on the health and livelihood of people around the world.
Symptoms of malaria include fever and flu-
like illness, shaking chills, headache, muscle aches, and tiredness. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea may also occur. Malaria may cause anemia and jaundice (yellow colouring of the skin and eyes) because of the loss of red blood cells. If not promptly treated, the infection can become severe According to World Health Organization (WHO) despite it being a treatable disease, Malaria continues to impact the livelihood of people across the globe. In 2020, around 241 million new cases of malaria have been recorded and 627,000
malaria-related fatalities in 85 nations, not only this but in the African region, over two-thirds of the fatalities were reported among
children below five years old.In October 2021, WHO recommended the broad use of the RTS,S malaria vaccine for young children living in areas with moderate and high malaria transmission. The recommendation was informed by results
from an ongoing WHO-coordinated pilotprogramme in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi
that has reached more than 900 000 children since 2019.
Evidence and experience from the programme has shown that the vaccine is safe, feasible to deliver and reduces deadly severe malaria.
RTS,S is an example of innovation at work
and a scientific breakthrough as it is the first vaccine recommended for use against a
human parasitic disease of any kind.
In 2021, the WHO also hailed South Africa for bucking a grim trend. It was one of the
few malaria-endemic countries in Africa thatdid not see a major upsurge in malaria cases
caused by COVID-related disruptions.According to the NICD (National Institute of Communicable Disease) for the second time in a decade, South Africa is set to miss its malaria elimination target. The country had committed to ending malaria
by 2018, but this did not happen. In 2019,the government set a goal to end malaria by 2023. Despite implementing a number
of new interventions which have reduced the country’s malaria burden, South Africa failed to halt the transmission of malaria within its borders. The country’s malaria case numbers have also started rising since travel restrictions were lifted in early 2022.
This comes after much lower malaria cases during 2020 and 2021 – a result of reduced
cross-border movements because of COVIDregulations, as well as proactive, innovative actions by some South African provinces’
malaria control programmes. It is crucial that South Africa’s malaria control programme regroups and refocuses. This will enable the
country to get its malaria elimination effortsback on track.
Oversight visit to Empowerment Fund applicants
MAHIKENG MAIL-MAHIKENG: Officials from the Economic Development gave a briefing to the Empowerment Fund applicants supported through machinery and production equipment on one of the beneficiaries of the fund, a company named Lachichi (Pty) Ltd operating in the local township of Jouberton in the Matlosana Local Municipality.
Lachichi (Pty) Ltd is a Beauty Spa owed by female youth, registered in 2021 under the Directorship of Thandeka Patience Galane, Banele Fortunate and Tumelo Knapi Galane. The enterprise
specializes in bridal make-up, occasional make-up, eyelashes installation, footand neck massage, full body massage, matric farewell and special occasion events. Owners attended training on Small
Enterprise Start-Up course. Members haveinvested R 10 000.00 to establish and set up their business operations. A total value of R 117 762.92 was funded to the supply and delivery of equipment and machinery needed by the business. Members of the Portfolio Committee on Economic Development, Environment, Tourism, Agriculture and Rural Development were content with the developments taking place with the functioning business and pleased to see that the owners were provided with necessary equipment to run their business.
However the committee was not impressed with the slow developments on hotel school projects in the North West
province. Among some of the issues raised by the committee was that, there were no operations taking place on the premises
identified to build a hotel school in Orkney.The project started in the 2015/16 financial year and it was still not operational
to date. It remains a white elephant, which is costing the department more money due to the aging infrastructure.
The infrastructure is full of hidden and unforeseen damages. There is also rampant crime and vandalism in the area by (Zama Zama’s) and delays in implementing the project resulting in cost escalations.

Still too much interference in local government by councillors
MAFIKENG MAIL -MAHIKENG: The ever increasing incidences of corruption and irregular expenditure at municipalities in the North West have forced the North West Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NWCoCI) to call in the assistance of law enforcement agencies including the Special Investigative Unit, the Hawks and the South African Police Service (SAPS) to help them fight the worrying scourge.
President of the Republic Cyril Ramaphosa, who has promised South Africans that after the local government elections in November 2021, things
will be different. We must assist the government to expedite this change. “We even have former councillors still calling the shots from the outside.
This happens especially where we have acting municipal mangers and – chief financial officers.
We also have interference from some political parties. How do they expect that service delivery will happen and or become important, if that is the situation?”, he asked.
Gideon Ralepeli, NWCoCI chairperson.
maintenance, and the country’s road being in a poor state.
The PSA has been opposing the casualisation of workers, where work is irregular, which the Union views as the perpetuation of inequality. The PSA continuously calls on government to lead by example by ensuring that casualisation is eradicated in this country.
The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 8 is ‘decent work and economic growth’. Decent jobs should provide fair income, workplace security, and social protection, and also allow flexibility of working arrangements and hours. This is, however, for example, not the case for government’s community health workers (CHWs), security staff, and cleaners who are still mostly outsourced employees. The absorption of CHWs, in-sourcing of security staff and cleaners should be at the top of government’s agenda as part of the endeavour to provide decent jobs, which are critical for economic development. Lower-level government employees can still not afford houses, often staying in sub- standard accommodation as they also do not qualify for ‘RDP’ houses for earning ‘too much’. Furthermore, government seems to no longer be filling vacancies in the public service, with huge shortages in most sectors including teaching, police, immigration officers, cleaners, and grounds men. The implementation of anti-developmental and regressive austerity measures further robs South Africans of the opportunity to enjoy their freedom and right to access professional services in most government institutions owing to poor infrastructure, staff shortages, and inadequate resources. On Freedom Day, the PSA issues a reminder to all South Africans that the battle against corruption must continue.
South Africans must protect their hard-won freedom by exposing those who unduly enrich themselves as such ‘stolen freedom’ imprisons others to poverty and unemployment.
MAFIKENG MAIL – MAHIKENG: Freedom Day is marred by the knowledge that conditions faced by too many South Africans still deny them of their constitutional rights as the country bends under spreading poverty, inequality, violent crimes, and rising unemployment.
The Public Servants Association (PSA) is further dismayed that public-sector employees continue to be made scapegoats for maladministration and corruption that brought the country to this position, 27 years into a democratic society. It is a grim fact that World Bank recently confirmed that South Africa remains the most unequal country in the world.
The country’s unemployment levels have surpassed 35 percent mark, whilst the youth is the hardest hit, with more than 60 percent of young people eligible to work, being unemployed.
Additionally, public servants who are responsible for ensuring that government’s service delivery goals are met, were denied their negotiated wage increase when, after a protracted legal battle, the Constitutional Court ruled that government will not have to pay these increases for the 2020/21-financial year.
Workers’ salaries remain stagnant, while the cost of electricity increases, the petrol price is at a record high, and prices of all commodities display these ripple effects. South Africans can also not rely on public transport, with train services being impeded by vandalism and poor
Freedom Day not free for all
In a statement on Monday, NWCoCI chairperson, Gideon Ralepeli said his organisation was deeply concerned by the ongoing wrongdoings of corruption and financial irregularities at the local government institutions and therefore had to
act. “The status of municipalities will not get better unless the interference in the awarding of tenders from councillors and other outside parties is not stopped immediately. “Most of the municipalities in the North West are dysfunctional and the looting of the coffers just continues. It seems like some of the newly elected councillors are there to line their own pockets and by doing so service delivery takes a backseat”, he said adding that we are getting more and more complains of irregular expenditure from whistle-blowers and the time has come for this to be stopped”. The NWCoCI said as a Chamber they were fully behind the
MAHIKENG MAIL-MAHIKENG: As part of strengthening oversight and public participation and to promote accountability and transparency in government, the Portfolio Committee on Health and Social Development led by Gavin Edwards conducted an oversight visit at the Tsholofelo Clinic in Jouberton.
The clinic offers its service to more than 300 members of the community per day who face a number of challenges.
Professional Nurse, Ogodiseng Monnahela said the clinic was very small to cater for the number of daily patients with shortage of medication, especially on anti-retroviral tablets.
“Our challenge is that the clinic is small and we find it difficult to work in this small space,” said Monnahela.
One of the rooms was converted into both a laundry room and a waste management room. There is no internet connection and patients can wait long hours of the day for an ambulance assistance. There is also no tracking and tracing patient system.
The committee recommended and advised the Professional Nurse to separate the laundry room from the waste management, as it was a health hazard.
Recommendation to Tsholofelo Clinic to avoid health hazards
