The police in Mgcawu District confiscated illicit cigarettes in Kakamas on 8 April 2024.

Banyana Banyana coach, Desiree Ellis said they are now better than what they displayed in Nigeria. Ellis said this ahead of the much-anticipated match between Banyana Banyana and Nigeria.

“South Africa and Nigeria will lock horns in the second leg of the CAF Women’s Olympic qualifiers on Tuesday evening at Loftus Versfeld. With the away goal rule removed from the equation, there is no doubt that it will be do or die.

“You will remember that we came back with a defeat in Abuja, Nigeria, but we remain adamant that our side still has a chance to go to Paris for the 2024 Olympics. So, we are looking forward to the game today,” she said.

Ellis further said they have looked at the footage of their first game as well. She added that they know we are better than what we showed in Nigeria. We can do way better than that, and I think the second half showed how well we can play. It is a match we have to win,” said Ellis.

“We have to put everything into it to make sure that we get the goal early to be able to kick-start from there. We know it won’t be easy, Nigeria got the one goal advantage and we have to prepare for every eventuality.

“Sinoxolo Cesane who could not travel with the Sasol-sponsored Banyana Banyana to Nigeria, is the only change in the squad ahead of the game today. Beyond the magnitude of the encounter, BanyanaBanyana defender Lebohang Ramalepe will get her 100th cap should she make an appearance,” she said.

The match will kickoff at 19:30pm and will be LIVE on SABC 3 and SuperSport 209.

The North West Department of Human Settlements said the first phase of the 103 constructed houses for the Deelpan residents, near Atamelang has been completed. The North West Department of Human Settlements spokesperson, Dineo Lolokwane said, the houses are part of the government’s integrated efforts to restore and rebuild Deelpan.

Lolokwane said this comes after it was engulfed by heavy rainfalls, resulting in over 75% of the village being submerged in water.

“Our obligation is to ensure that we restore the dignity of our people as enshrined in the constitution and the freedom charter. We therefore have delivered on the promise we made to the community of Deelpan.

“The official handover is planned to take place in the near future. The construction of the 103 housing units is the first phase of the project as announced by the acting North West Premier, Nono Maloyi during his State of the Province Address (SOPA),” she said.

 Lolokwane further said 317 houses will be built following the donation of land by Kgosi Kogodi Molete of Bakolobeng and his Traditional Council.

Recently, the Deputy Minister in the Presidency responsible for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Pinky Kenana, visited the area to assess progress that has been made in addressing the aftermath of the devastating floods that struck the area in 2022.

Kekana expressed satisfaction on the progress made and also gave acknowledgement to the intervention team for their unwavering dedication they have shown to the project.

“We are very happy with the progress made in the wake of the floods, focusing on key interventions and initiatives. Notably, significant strides have been made in constructing the houses to provide shelter for those affected by the floods.

“Efforts are also underway to improve water and sanitation facilities, ensuring that the basic needs of the community are met,” she said.

Elderly woman from Lokaleng village, receives a new RDP house after ‘years of struggle’

An elderly woman, Matlakala Rapodile (67) from Lokaleng village, near Taung, has been staying in a shack for several years. Rapodile was one of the beneficiaries of 120 houses that were built by the North West Human Settlements. 

“I am happy to receive a proper house with basic amenities. As a pensioner and also a grandmother of two, the environment that I was staying in was health hazardous as the weather conditions have not been friendly. 

“I would like to thank the government for bringing change to my family life. We have been staying in this small shack and my grandchildren were also affected as they would have flu from time to time,” she said. 

Meanwhile, the acting North West Premier, Nono Maloyi said, the department has done it again. Maloyi said this time, the department handed over three houses to families led by elderly women that have been staying in shacks for years. 

“The department has thus far managed to complete 120 houses and continues to build 880 across villages in Taung. The government will continue to build houses for legible beneficiaries. 

“We further appeal to others who are still waiting for the construction of their houses to be patient. However, we assure them that, government has increased speed in delivering services across all municipalities, through the Thuntsha Lerole accelerated Service Delivery Programme,” he said. 

Maloyi further said, the government will continue to deliver on its mandate and change the lives of the people. He added that they do this to ensure they deliver as promised. 

“This is a government programme, not electioneering as others purport. We have also teamed with municipalities and local traditional authorities to ensure that we reach those families that need urgent services. 

“The partnership is continuing to register success on a daily basis. The department will continue to create sustainable human settlements as mandated by the constitution and further ensure that the dignity of all the people of the North West is held high,” said Maloyi. 

He said the department prides itself as the houses under construction continue to create jobs and skill among local community members.

Six suspects were arrested for illegal mining in Brits. The North West police spokesperson, Brig Sabata Mokgwabone said, the suspects were nabbed during an integrated multi-disciplinary disruptive Vala Umgodi operation conducted in Hartbeespoort Dam, near Brits on 3 April 2024.

Mokgwabone said the police also confiscated various illegal mining equipment. He further said the arrests were effected by a team comprising the South African Police Service (SAPS) units, including Vala Umgodi deployment.

“The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) was also part of the team and the suspects were arrested for contravention of the Immigration Act, 2002. Four of the six suspects were from Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi and were remanded in custody until 23 and 25 April 2024, for plea when they appeared in the Brits Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 5 April 2024. 

“The fifth suspect from Mozambique, also appeared for contravention of the Immigration Act, 2002. She was remanded in custody until 12 May 2024. The sixth suspect, who is a Mozambican, was issued with a fine for driving a motor vehicle without a driver’s licence,” said Mokgwabone.

He added that, in effecting the arrests, the team also seized 28 penduka machines, five gas cylinders, two cutting torches, a generator, six hammers, a water pump, 78 bags of gold bearing material, a jack hammer and several other items.

Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, lauded all team members for working together to effectively address illegal mining activities.
