WOLMARANSSTAD - Maquassi Hills residents have been requested to report foreign national shop owners who sell expired groceries

The Compliance Cluster from the DR Kenneth Kaunda led health inspections in some of the Maquassi Hills local spaza shops to foresee shop owners' compliance. The cluster said, in some foreign national-owned shops, they discovered that owners are selling expired food with some packages non-compliant including cigarettes that were not licensed

The Office of the Premier, together with other Government Departments, the DR KK District Municipality, and other local Municipalities within the district visited the community of Maquassi Hills to render services

Compliance Cluster led by Single Whip of DRKKDM, Cllr Lesie reported that the Committee visited spaza shops that are mostly ran by foreign nationals to inspect. Most of the groceries they are selling were founf expired, with some packages that were also discovered to be non-compliant

The Cluster also discovered cigarettes that were not licensed, other owners were found undocumented. One shop owner was arrested for being undocumented

Previously, the Dr. Kenneth Kaunda Regional Chairperson and MMC for Planning and Development in Maquassi Hills Local Municipality, Tshireletso Malebatsane, engaged in a joint operation with law enforcement agencies where Maquassi Hills foreign nationals owned stores & food distributors dispatched expired products following reports that some of the food packages were illegally processed in unathorised factories

Malebatsane conducted business hygiene & removal of old stocks in some of these stores which were on shelves ready to be sold as fresh products which were not so fresh. Despite concerns over controversies, residents still boughy & used some of those products at their homes

The North West Portfolio Committee on Economic Development, Environment, Tourism, Agriculture and Rural Development, that was chaired by Bitsa Lenkopane, had also called on communities to remain vigilant.

The committee urged the relevant provincial department and other relevant stakeholders to investigate these matters. The committee urged the relevant departments to join hands with municipalities and activists to create awareness to ensure that communities understand that the State is in charge of such businesses (spaza shops)

Maquassi Hills residents are requested to report these matters to the law enforcers when they come across unlawful actions

MAQUASSI HILLS MUNICIPALITY OWES VAAL CENTRAL MILLIONS

BULKFOTEIN - The Maquassi Hills Municipality is owing Vaal Central millions of rands after failing to pay monthly payment to services rendered

The Municipality confirmed through the Office of the Mayor, Mzwandile Feliti. The Office said, they received a notice from the service provider alerting them of impending monthly debt. The Municipality has reported that, they had secured a meeting with the service provider in early August which sought to resolve the outstanding debt

The Council said, it failed to pay Vaal Central a payment of R3.5 million monthly, to service their current account. Scheduled R10.5 million per trench of the equitable share, which they say they have always honoured

"The Municipality is unable to keep up with the MOU assigned to by the parties, due to non-payments by Government departments (Education, Health, Correctional services, SASSA and Public Works), non-payments by Businesses and Communities, non-payment by both Vaal Central and Magalies Water for electricity provision to the water pump station since the year 2020" - Maquassi Hills Municipality

The Municipality also said they had no communication from the former waterboard after their bulk water supply augmentation project debt

"There is non-committal by former Sedibeng water on the loan taken up by the Municipality in 2008 for bulk water supply augmentation project. Vaal Central has inherited the same infrastructure which it's loan remains unsettled and Vaal Central is not committing to anything this far" - Maquassi Hills Municipality

Office of the Mayor within the Municipality called for a meeting with the current waterboard, which didn't happen. The meeting was called up to find a solution to the current water supply situation

"The Municipality convened a meeting with Magalies Water on the 29/07/2024 to foster an amicable solution which the meeting resolved to call Vaal Central to the party, and a meeting between the three institutions was set for the 31/07/2024. However, the meeting could not hold as Vaal Central had an engagement with the Minister of Water and Sanitation" - Office of the Mayor of Maquassi Hills

Th Municipality said, another meeting was coordinated by the Minister of Water and Sanitation on the 04th of August 2024, to highlight the challenges faced, the meeting resolved that Vaal Central should stage one-on-one sessions with affected Municipality

The Municipality reported back to the Minister on 10th of August 2024, Maquassi Hills Local Municipality, Vaal Central and the Department of Cooperative Governance Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs met to pave for a wayforwad on the water restrictions and the misconceptions between the parties

"Our position is crystal that water supply be restored immediately without haste and that the service provider lifts the restrictions. Further developments will be communicated as on when there's any shifts in positions or there are developing stories"- Office of the Mayor of Maquassi Hills

The Council also made arrangements to restrict water supply services in various areas of Maquassi Hills, saying it was until the matter has been settled

COUNCIL HOPES TO RESUME THE KGAKALA PAVING PROJECT

LEEUDORINGSTAD, KGAKALA - Maquassi Hills Local Municipality hopes to resume the paving project in Kgakala township in the Ext 4 near Leeudoringstad without delay or disruptions

This comes after the project was halted due to community misunderstanding. The Kgakala community accused the Municipality of tendering the project recently

The Maquassi Hills Municipality said, the project was halted altogether after the residents misunderstood how it was processed. The Municipality instructed the councillor in the area along with the ward committee to deal with the situation

The paving project was in progress at the entrance to the Ext 4 in Kgakala when residents argued that the paving project initiated by the Maquassi Hills Local Municipality was done through tendering

The believe came as the Municipality has series of tendering projects meant for service delivery to residents of Maquassi Hills which included that of roads & water

The Municipality has been struggling to provide water to some households and resorted to water tendering. The Municipality promised to resume working once the situation has been controlled by the councillor & ward committee

"We've stopped the Kgakala Extension 4 entrance owing to the misunderstanding of the community who thought that the work was done through tendering, we will revert back when the situation is resolved by the Councillor and the ward committee" - Maquassi Hills Municipality

However, the Council said, it remained optimistic that the paving project will resume as the road looked terrible

"We remain optimistic to upgrade that road as it gives a bad shape and driving difficulties during the rainy season" - Maquassi Hills Municipality

Despite the misunderstanding of the project by Kgakala community, the Council says it is part of their duty to build a pothole-free Municipality & paving is progressing well in other areas of Maquassi Hills including Wolmaransstad

The Mayor of Maquassi Hills has taken out a word to urge residents of Maquassi Hills to allow its employees do their duty

"As part of our work and promise to build a porthole free Maquassi Hills Local Municipality in a few months, we've successfully completed the paving of Leigh street in Wolmaransstad town, the team is now proceeding to Erven street which is nearby or pasess through Caltex garage" - Maquassi Hills Municipality

The Council also applauded its employees for continuing to dedicate themselves to their work

"We appreciate the support that communities has been giving us.
We applaude our hard working team, and also appreciate the fact that communities has given the team space to do their work. If we can continue to hold hands in this front our municipality will be pothole free and all our internal roads will be user friendly" - Mayor of Maquassi Hills, Mzwandile Feliti

15-YEAR-OLD SENTENCED FOR MULTIPLE CHILD RAPE CASES

The Tlhabane Magistrates’ Court sentenced a 15-year-old boy to 15 years of imprisonment on 1st October 2024, following his conviction for four child rape cases reported over the last three years.

On Youth Day, 16 June 2023, an 11-year-old girl was riding her bicycle when the convict offered to repair it. After pretending to test the bicycle in nearby bushes, he attempted to rape her. Fortunately, a passer-by intervened, forcing him to flee.

The third case took place on the 3rd of October 2023. An 11-year-old boy was targeted when the convict took his bicycle and led him into nearby bushes, where he overpowered and raped him.

CANDLE RITUALS SPARK DEVASTATING FIRE

A ritual fire has consumed approximately 60% of the Kgaswane Nature Reserve, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake, that's according acting reserve manager, Emelang Malefo.

Mafelo said, it was the result of candles used during rituals

The fire, which started near the Bosbok Kloof area by individuals performing rituals with candles, rapidly spread across the reserve, fuelled by strong winds.

Fire destroyed huts and grazing land
The inferno, which raged for six days, caused significant damage to the park’s infrastructure in late September, several huts on the overnight hiking trail were completely destroyed by the flames

The fire reached Waterfalls Mountain, an area that reserve personnel were unable to access. Strong winds only worsened the situation, causing more flare-ups.

In incidents occurred during the time, a zebra was trapped by the fire near the Baviaans Krans area. The animal, severely burned, had to be euthanised on site.

“It was a difficult decision, but necessary given the extent of its injuries,” - Malefo.

The southern mountains of the reserve ignited. Despite efforts to control the blaze, high winds kept it alive. The fire intensified destroying more huts on the southern side of the park, including the Naga hut on the overnight hiking trail.

Firefighters managed to bring the fire under control, though the reserve continued to monitor for flare-ups.

Community support in the battle against flames
The combined efforts of the North West fire department, Anglo American Platinum Emergency Services, and Working on Fire (WOF) teams, and members from the National Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and Environment, were crucial in fighting the fire.
WOF communications officer, Maria Letsholo, confirmed that 16 firefighters, along with aerial support, were deployed.

“Our teams worked tirelessly day and night to battle this fire, and the support from the public, who provided water and fruit to the firefighters, was greatly appreciated,” said Pieter Nel, chief conservation officer at North West Parks and Tourism Board.

The fire resulted in the loss of approximately 3,000 hectares of parkland, equivalent to about 60% of the reserve.

“These rituals have been the cause of multiple fires in the park, and this time, the destruction has been immense,” said Nel.

Despite the devastation, Malefo remains hopeful about the park’s recovery.

“There are still pockets of grazing land left, and the vlei area is already greening up, providing food for the animals in the short term,” added Mafelo.

Meanwhile, the North West SPCA has urged the public to remain vigilant for injured wildlife. Any animals, birds, or reptiles found in distress due to the fire should be reported immediately to the SPCA at 071 370 4520.

23 BUSES FLAMED IN AN ARSON SUSPICION CASE

A total of 23 buses were reduced to ashes in a suspected arson attack. The buses, with an estimated combined value of R69 million, were destroyed in a coordinated strike across two Bojanala Bus Depots within a span of 20 minutes.

At Chaneng Bojanala Bus Depot, six buses were torched, while at Tlaseng Bojanala Bus Depot, 17 buses were set ablaze. The possible motive behind the attack stems from the expulsion of 76 bus drivers since June for theft and other related offenses, with additional drivers currently facing disciplinary hearings.

Police are investigating cases of malicious damage to property, though no arrests have been made yet.

The North West MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng, condemned the attack and urged the police to prioritise their investigation.

“We trust our police to investigate this matter thoroughly, but it’s also crucial for the public to share any information that could assist in solving this case,” said Morweng.

He further expressed concern about the impact of the attack on the community, as the Bojanala Bus Company provides vital subsidised commuter services to residents across the Bojanala District.

“This unfortunate incident will undoubtedly affect the daily lives of community members who rely on these buses,” added the MEC.

The police are calling on anyone with information to come forward. Individuals can contact captain Johannes Montsho of the Phokeng Detectives Unit at 076 834 3531 or the SAPS Crime Stop at 08600 10111. Anonymous tips can also be submitted via the MySAPS app.
