By NAKAMPE LEKWADU

FOOTBALL fanatics can brace themselves for an action galore tomorrow (May 4) across the country as clubs in the Motsepe Foundation Championship wrap their 2023/24 season in what is dubbed as the Super Sunday.
While Magesi FC who earned an automatic promotion after winning the league two weeks ago with two matches to space would argue that they had an easy season, the same can’t be said by clubs such as Baroka FC, JDR FC and Pretoria University who are forced to wait until the last day before knowing whether they will be participating in the promotional play-offs. For the record, two clubs which finish on the second and third position will be joined by the club that finishes on the 15th position in the DSTV Premiership in a mini league play-off of which the club with more points earning their passage to the topflight league.
Pretoria University are on the second position with 48 points take on third place Baroka FC (46 points) in their last match and both the two are seriously desperate for a win in order to qualify for the play-offs. Unless if another play-offs contender, JDR FC (4th place with 46 points) could lose or play to a draw against Maritzburg United in another crucial match, then a draw between Baroka and Tuks will easy earn their passage through.
Focusing on relegation threatened clubs, no one is safe as even a club on the 10th position could find themselves relegated come tomorrow 5pm as only three points separating them and the one on the 14th position. Pretoria Callies are on the 10th position with 34 points, followed by Venda Academy and Black Leopards on the 11th and 12th position with the same number of points. Marumo Gallants are on the 13th position with 33 points while Milford FC and NB La Masia are on the 14th and 15th positions with 31 points with Platinum City having been relegated to the ABC Motsepe League.
Tomorrow’s last fixtures are as follows: Black Leopards v NB La Masia, JRD v Maritzburg United, Magesi FC v Venda Academy, Marumo Gallants v Orbit College, Milford FC v Pretoria Callies, Platinum City v Hungry Lions, Pretoria University v Baroka and Upington City v Casric Stars

PRETORIA UNIVERSITY SLOWLY LOSING NFD’S TITLE GRIP TO MAGESI

By NAKAMPE LEKWADU
PRETORIA University’s Motsepe Foundation Championship title chase is now in the hands of Black Leopards.
AmaTuks face Lidoda Duvha in a do or die league match on Sunday, May 05 fully aware that a defeat in that match will see their title chase dream go up in smoke.
The Tshwane based side are on the second position with 45 points from 27 matches, and they are six points behind log leaders, Magesi FC and they are very much aware that a loss away to Leopards at the Thohoyandou Stadium will see them dropping the race for the title which they hoped for an automatic promotion. Leopards also are desperate for points to completely move away from the dreaded relegation zone as they are lying on the 11th position with 33 points, just five points clear from neighbors, Venda Academy who are on the 15th position with 28 points.
Pretoria University who were at some stage on a single point behind Magesi have themselves to blame after they easily dropped points in the last minutes of two matches, first against the same Magesi who beat them 1-0 in the referee’s added time on before they could allow JDR FC to come back from a 1-0 deficit to force a 1-all draw against them in a midweek match (May 1). Their last three matches, including the one against Leopards and two more away to neighbors, Pretoria Callies and at home against Baroka are very crucial as other slipups could even see them fail to qualify for the promotional play-offs ahead of their other seven opponents who are heavily breathing behind them.
As Magesi who are sitting comfortably on top of the log with 52 points and plus 15 goal difference as opposed to AmaTuks’ plus 7, all they need is just one victory to seal their dream title and go all the way to earn promotion to the top flight automatically. The Polokwane based side who beat bagged yet another three valuable points after their away 2-0 victory over Platinum City on May 1, will be welcoming relegation threatened side, Milford FC (12th on the log with 31 points) in another league match to be played on the same day. They (Magesi) will play their last two matches, firstly away to Casric FC on May 12 before they could wrap their glorious 2023/24 season at home (Peter Mokaba Stadium) against Venda Academy on May 19.
In the other two matches which are expected to be thrillers, third placed Baroka who are on 42 points will be at home at the Global Baroka Village in Lebowakgomo against another relegation candidates, Marumo Gallants while fourth placed, JDR FC (42 points) will play-host Orbit College.
The rest of the fixtures on May 5 are: Casric stars v Platinum City, Maritzburg United v Hungry Lions, Pretoria Callies v Venda Academy and Upington City v NB La Masia...www.lepellereview.co.za

Fireworks expected as the battle for league title and promotional play-off in the NFD hots-up

By NAKAMPE LEKWADU
THE battle for league title and promotional play-off in the Motsepe Foundation Championship continues at various venues across the country tomorrow (April 20).
All eyes however will be in Tshwane where second place, Pretoria University welcome log leaders Magesi FC in the match which is expected to produce fireworks. Kick-Off at the Tuks Stadium is 3pm.
Ama-Tuks as the Tshwane side are known goes to this match like a wounded lion after a mid-week 2-0 loss away to Maritzburg United and they occupy the 2nd spot on the log with 44 points from 24 matches while their visitors from Limpopo are on top of the log with 46 points (same number of matches). Magesi dropped two valuable points at home in Polokwane after a mid-week 2-all draw against Hungry Lions.
If the previous meetings between the two sides is anything to go by, then Pretoria University have the upper hand as they have won three of their five (this include an away 2-1 victory in Polokwane in the first round match of this season) with Magesi having won a single match while the other one ended in a draw.
Magesi coach, Clinton Larsen however was optimistic that his charges will be the one celebrating a four point gap come 5pm after this encounter. “If we can produce the same form that saw us played to a 2-2 draw against Hungry Lions, then nothing will stop us from winning our match against Pretoria University and open a four point gap,” said Larsen after their match against Lions.
It is a naked truth that Magesi’s defense will have a very busy day in trying to bottle up AmaTuks’s aggressive goal-poachers such as Thabang Sibanyoni, Samuel Julies and Delano Abrahams. The trio have collectively contributed 18 of the club’s 25 goals with Sibanyoni having rattled the net eight times while Julies and Abrahams have score five apiece.
In the other league encounters six clubs will also be in a tug of war for the valuable points as the battle for top three finish is getting hot. The contest is so close that even a club on the 8th position could find itself on the third position after tomorrow’s games.
JDR FC (3rd position with 37 points) will be looking forward to maintain their 3rd spot at the expense of the struggling Venda Academy whom they host at Giant Stadium in Soshanguve while Baroka (5th on the log with 36 points) will be play-host Casrics FC (8th with 35 points) at the Global Stadium in Lebowakgomo. Elsewhere Maritzburg United (6th on the log with 35 points) welcome the struggling bottom rock side, Marumo Gallants at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium with Black Leopards taking on Upington City, and Platinum City Rovers rub shoulders against Milford FC in Vanderbijyl Park’s Isak Steil Stadium
The last two fixtures will be played on Sunday, April 21 where another promotional candidate, Orbit College (4th with 37 points) will be hosting MM Platinum Stars with 7th positioned Hungry Lions taking on Pretoria Callies away in the Jacaranda City. All matches start at 3pm. www.lepellereview.co.za

BAROKA AND MAGESI AIM FOR PROMOTION

By NAKAMPE LEKWADU
THE Motsepe Foundation Championship pacesetters Magesi FC will be looking nothing other than the maximum three points when they take on Hungry Lions
The Limpopo based side who are currently on top of the 16 National First Division log welcome Lions at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium this afternoon (April 16), and the club’s Public Relations Officer, Abel “The Lip” Rakoma told Lepelle Review that losing that match will be suicidal.
“Our mandate is to gain an automatic promotion and avoid the stress that comes with promotional play-offs. Not that we undermine Hungry Lions, but we really need these vital three points at all costs,” said Rakoma.
Magesi are on top of the log with 45 points, a point clear of Pretoria University who are heavily breathing behind them with 45 points and both the clubs have seven matches to go before they could wrap their 2023/24 season. For the record, Pretoria University will be away to the tricky Maritzburg United at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in the only match that will be played in the evening at 7.30pm.
Hungry Lions suffered a 3-1 loss to Magesi in the first round on November 11 last year, but Rakoma said: “We are not relying on those past results because that match is done and dusted. This is going to be a different ball game all together more so because just like us Hungry Lions are also fighting for the league title as well.”
Magesi who are under the mentorship of Clinton Larsen will be relying on their leading goal-scorer Wonder Makhubo and Tshepo Matsemela for goals in this match.
Meanwhile another Limpopo based side, Baroka FC (4th position with 35 points) will be looking forward to enhancing their chances for top three finish and go all the way to the promotional play-offs.
The rest of NFD fixtures today are: JDR Stars v Black Leopards (Giant Stadium), Milford FC v Marumo Gallants (Princess Magogo),
and Venda Football Academy v Casric Stars (Thohoyandou).
Kick-Off for all the matches is 3pm unless stated.

MAPATJAKENG RESIDENTS ROLLS A RED CARPET FOR DR FISHA'S ALL CITIZENS PARTY

THE president of All Citizens Party, Dr Senathi Fisha was well received by residents of Mapatjakeng at the local primary school in Zebediela on September 3.
Fisha who is known for helping the underprivilaged families across the country through her Dr Fisha Foundation for more than 20 years was in Zebediela to officially introduced her new political party to the communities she once served as a nurse in her at the depleted Groothoek Hospital some decades ago.
Accompanied by Chief Kekana, local indunas, local party leaders K Baloyi, George Maluleka. A Letebele and their national executive committee, Fisha has promised that her party will bring a massive change and new hope to the people's lives.
"We are aware that most of you were sold a dummy in exchange for votes, yet your lives still remain unchanged despite a number of promises made to you. We heard your cry and that's the reason we are here to bring the message of hope, and that we can only achieve if you make the right mark in 2024 by voting for us. On the ballot paper you must look for a woman wearing pink, and that's our party ACP," said Fisha.
Fisha said she was not in Zebediela to ask people to join her political party, but only to support them through their votes come 2024.
"We are aware that you have your own political parties which you are very loyal to, but it's is fact that blind loyalty has cost you a lot and those around you and that's the reason we say you can remain loyal to your organisation but vote for us so that we can do the different for the sake of those who are suffering under the current government," said Fisha.
She also discouraged the system of education in the country that only teaches students to study to become jobseekers and not business people.
"Gone are those days when our children should go to school for employment after completing their studies. We need education system that can teach our children to be self employed so that they can build and develop the economy of this country, and this more so because we have so many minerals in the country to help ourselves develop our own products," she said
ACP has already made inroads in all the country's nine provinces and Fisha is positive that they will make their presence felt come 2024 elections

Julius Malema showers the queen with a brand new bakkie
Hate him or love him, his reasoning capacity is on another level. Julius Malema can’t be ignored, he’s very necessary in our politics. He's a true Pan Africanist. He takes no prisoners. He speaks the truth to power. Julius Malema is a force to be reckoned with. Today it's the CIC's birthday and his followers are showering him with well wishes. Birthday messages are pouring in for the EFF leader who turned 42 today, with many acknowledging him for his commitment to EFF's modern revolution.
Malema is having the time of his life in Mohlaletse village, outside Ga-Nkoane, Limpopo where he was spotted celebrating his birthday with the Queen of Bapedi. Malema also handed over a bakkie and a borehole to the royal family. How generous of him! The Queen made headlines when the Bapedi Royal Family made an appeal a Polokwane High Court judgment, which declared she had been illegally appointed as regent. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema then promised that he will help the queen with legal representatives to restore her as acting queen.
Malema said he was disturbed by the fact that Queen Thulare was being undermined as she is a woman. “The Queen of Bapedi, the mother of the King must be allowed to act. We must show them that you cannot harass a woman and expect us as a society to keep quiet. We must never keep quiet when a woman is being harassed because they think she’s powerless. So, we need to give her a support,” Malema said back then. It is not surprising to see the queen hosting Malema as he has been quite supportive of her.
The party’s deputy president and chief whip, Floyd Shivambu, wrote: “Happy Birthday President ! May God bless and protect you to see many more revolutionary years! We are entering the decisive phase of our revolution now and will need God’s protection, grace and guidance! The mission remains economic freedom in our lifetime!”- Content created and supplied by: Mmapula (via Opera News)

Brenda Nokuzola Fassie was born in Langa, Cape Town on 3 November 1964,[5] the youngest of nine children. She was named after the American singer Brenda Lee.[5] Her father died when she was only two years old; with the help of her mother, a pianist, she soon started earning money by singing for tourists.

When she was 16 years old in 1981, she received a visit by Hendrick "Koloi" Lebona.[5][6] As a result, she left Cape Town for Soweto, Johannesburg, to seek her fortune as a singer. Fassie first joined the vocal group Joy (filling in for one of the members who was on maternity leave)[7] and later became the lead singer for a township music group called Brenda and the Big Dudes. She had a son, Bongani, in 1985 by a fellow Big Dudes musician. She married Nhlanhla Mbambo in 1989, but the pair divorced in 1991. Around this time she became addicted to co***ne and her career suffered as a result.[8][9]

With very outspoken views and frequent visits to the poorer townships of Johannesburg, as well as songs about life in the townships, Fassie enjoyed tremendous popularity. She also used her music to oppose the apartheid regime in South Africa.[10] In 1989, she released the song "Black President" as a tribute to Nelson Mandela, a political prisoner and later the first Black president of South Africa. Known best for her songs "Weekend Special" and "Too Late for Mama", Fassie was dubbed "The Madonna of the Townships" by Time magazine in 2001.[4]

In 1995, she was discovered in a hotel with the body of her female lover, Poppie Sihlahla, who had died of an apparent overdose.[5] Fassie underwent rehabilitation and got her career back on track.[5] However, she still had drug problems, and returned to drug rehabilitation clinics about 30 times in her life.[5] From 1996 on she released several solo albums, including Now Is the Time, Memeza (1997), and Nomakanjani?. Most of her albums became multi-platinum sellers in South Africa; Memeza was the best-selling album in South Africa in 1998.[5]
