POLICE LAUNCH A MANHUNT FOLLOWING AN INCIDENT IN WHICH A MAN FROM TAXI INDUSTRY WAS SHOT AND KILLED AT THE MILIVA TAXI RANK
NELSPRUIT – Police in Mpumalanga have launched a vigorous manhunt for ruthless suspects following a despicable incident in which a 42-year-old man who was working in the taxi industry as a taxi owner, also held an executive position within the leadership structure, was unfortunately shot execution-style, Friday 23 April 2021 at Miliva traffic circle few meters away from the Miliva taxi rank in Tweefontein.
The man was shot by a group of heavily armed men who were driving in a white Ford Fiesta who fired several shots at him while he was sitting in his car, a silver-grey Toyota Yaris. The assailants thereafter fled the scene, leaving him bleeding profusely. The victim was then taken to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Recently, 39-year-old France Oupa Manamela, a Taxi Marshall, was gunned down execution-style at the Miliva taxi rank. The incident occurred on 01 March 2021.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was shot by four suspects driving in a silver VW Polo. They fled the scene immediately after committing this heinous act and are still at large.
Meanwhile, 31-year-old Kenny Sipho Mahlangu, a taxi driver, was shot and killed at Tweefontein on 07 March 2021. Details around this incident reveal that Mahlangu was driving in a white Isuzu bakkie when he was attacked. On the said day, it is alleged that he was followed by a certain Toyota Run-X and shots were fired from the said vehicle which resulted in him being fatally wounded.
Two other victims were both gunned down on 15 March 2021. At about 17h30, Jeremia Nkosinathi Chabangu, aged 44 was shot and killed by a group of suspects whilst sitting inside a Mercedes Benz Minibus at Kwamhlanga Crossroad. The suspects then fled the scene in a white VW Golf 7.
Whilst 65-year-old Piet Mahlangu was shot and killed around 20h40 during the time when he was with his family at home.

VEEHANTERING NOU BELANGRIKER AS OOIT – NWKV BIED KURSUS AAN IN CAROLINA
Goedehoop plaas in die Carolina distrik was die bymekaarkomplek vir die aanbied van ‘n Veehanteringskursus vir plaasarbeiders en hul werkgewers.
Nasionale Wolkwekersvereniging van SA (NWKV) produksie adviseur Annelize Smit van Niekerk het haar goed van haar taak gekwyt om die belangrikheid van goeie skaapbestuurspraktyke aan die 12 deelnemers te verduidelik en het die vrae aktief voortgevloei.
Skeerhok higiëne, die belangrikheid om plase regdeur die jaar skoon te hou om besoedeling te bekamp is sterk beklemtoon en het almal die kans gekry om skape op die korrekte manier te vang en te hanteer.
As gevolg van die feit dat internasionale verbruikers vereis dat wolprodukte volhoubaar geproduseer en skape gelukkig en gesond moet wees, is die belangrikheid van biosekuriteit op plase beklemtoon en die uitdaging om volhoubaar, verantwoordelik, doeltreffend en winsgewend te bly, uitgespreek. Die deelname om plase te akkrediteer vir die Volhoubare Cape Wools Standaard (SCWS), sal vertroue skep en deursigtigheid verseker.
VIRBAC het die enting- en dosering van skape hanteer en die belangrikheid van die kalibrasie van spuittoerusting, lees van medisyne etikette en die koueketting verduidelik.
Die Mpumalanga NWKV bedank Eduard Smit vir sy plaas en skape wat hy beskikbaar gestel en die VIRBAC span Giel Steyn, Corne Mosterd en Zama Msiza vir die ruim borgskap wat bygedra het tot die sukses van die dag.

5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
15 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:
19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.
35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.
50 Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
59 O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
64 Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.
4 How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.
2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
3 Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
8 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
9 They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
10 The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11 The Lord hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
12 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
13 For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
14 They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
15 They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.
16 The anger of the Lord hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
17 As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.
18 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
19 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.
21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
22 The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.
Hoe kan die opgestaande Christus hoop en herstel vir my bring? Kom ontdek saam watter verskil Jesus se opstanding en verskyning aan mense vir jou kan kom bring.

Diamond Engagement Ring by Ralph Jacobs
The diamond, composed solely of carbon, is the hardest gemstone and can be cut only by another diamond. Diamonds form about 90 miles deep in Earth.
It is believed that the first engagement ring that contained a diamond was given in 1477 by Archduke Maximilian of Austria to his fiancée, Mary of Burgundy. Today, diamonds are the most popular choice of stone for an engagement ring.
The largest known diamond is 2,500 miles wide and weighs approximately 10 billion trillion trillion carats.
Diamond symbolizes everlasting love. It was also once thought to protect against poison. It is believed that the person wearing a diamond will be protected from negative energies and brought peace.

The arrest followed the investigation which was launched by the Serious Commercial Crime Investigations probing the alleged siphoning of claimants funds from the Masters office for almost two years.

The probe into the matter further linked the two companies Zanvise multi holdings(PTY) LTD and Tanvise trust service(PTY) LTD as accused number three and four respectively, they were also charged.
During the court appearance on Wednesday the defence requested a postponement of the case in order for them to prepare for representation of the added accused.
The matter is postponed to 17,18 and 20 May 2021 for trail. The witnesses were warned to appear in court on the 17 May 2021 for trial.

It was all pomp and glamour as Rootz Boutique Spa celebrated its sixth anniversary last week.
Quests were dressed up in evening gear in celebration of what Rootz Boutique spa means for beauty in our area.
The Rootz website states the following, ”We provide guests with a tranquil setting where guests can enjoy true pampering allowing us to take you back to your Rootz,” and looking at the Boutique it projects just that. A wonderful place of relaxation and pampering.
Andile Mntungwa (owner of Rootz Boutique Spa) said in her welcoming speech that she wanted to thank God. “I want to thank God,” she said, “I truly believe that there is nothing special about me, I feel all of this is just the favour of God in my life.”
Andile Mntungwa (owner of Rootz Boutique Spa)
“Growing up, I’ve always loved beauty,” said Andile, “I used to attend a few beauty pageants and loved everything beauty.”
“I always said, a bit shy at times that I wanted to become Miss South Africa. I thought that it was a real career.”
Andile did beauty part-time while following her career as an engineer, all the time doing beauty courses. She also opened a little spa at home only to realise that one cannot work two jobs and had to make a decision when the opportunity for Rootz Boutique Spa came up.
“I grabbed it with both hands and ran with it. It was always my dream to be here.”
Vaneshrie Chetty Marketing Manager at Graceland said that “Andile added a little spice to the Boutique.”
“We are quite honoured to have the added value of Rootz at Graceland.”
Fofo Lerefolo, CEO Jalang Peo Media, was a guest speaker at the celebrations. Fofo has an impressive journalism history even being stationed in Palestine.
Celebrate the signing of the Beer Purity Law/Reinheitsgebot this Friday
This Friday, we celebrate 505 years since the signing of the Reinheitsgebot (beer purity law); a regulation that mandates which ingredients are allowed for the brewing of beer. In 1516, the first German Beer Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot), was promulgated in Munich by Albert IV, Duke of Bavaria, stating that beer should be brewed from only three ingredients – water, malt and hops.
Lake Umuzi Waterfront are proud to have 2 very different brewing companies on the premises.
The Lake Umuzi Brewing Company, brews most of their beers in an English style, with the exception of the Weiss beer that is made to the original German Style. The Lake Umuzi Brewing Company has been the supplier of the hand-crafted eish!! Brew for the past 4 years, and will soon move into their own premises on the new extension adjacent to the Dros.
Homebrew Lab, the latest addition to Lake Umuzi Waterfront, is part gin-distillery and part beer-brewery. Half of the hand-crafted beers are made in a Belgian Style and the other 50% is brewed in an American Style.
On Friday, 23 April 2021, Radio Kalahari Orkes(RKO) will return to eish!! Restaurant to celebrate the signing of the Reinheitsgebot, 505 years ago. To ensure a festive celebration, the entrance fee to the show is free, thanks to the generous assistance by TWK Agri Insurance, a leading provider of short-term insurance in the Secunda area. The performance can be viewed from eish!! or Homebrew Lab’s deck overlooking the eish!! stage.
Local talent, Marichelle, will kick off the day from 15h00 and sing in various intervals throughout the evening. Radio Kalahari Orkes will take to the stage from 18h00 and again from 20h00. This will give you an opportunity to enjoy dinner at any one of the restaurants at Lake Umuzi Waterfront, while not missing out on the performance by RKO.
In celebration of this momentous moment, Bosveld Lapa Restaurant will have a cocktail and sushi special. Enjoy a delectable beer-battered hake at Ocean Basket or an ice-cold Windhoek draught at Dros brewed in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot. For one day only Homebrew Lab will sell all their hand-crafted draught beers for only R29.00 on tap.
Prost to the vision of the Duke of Bavaria to bring us quality beer for the last 505 years!
Geniet nog ‘n aflewering van “So is die Lewe” uit die pen van Marius Britz.
Pretoria-dink. En jy karmosyn in die sononder sit, soos Boerneef sê. Daardie diep, alleenverlang wat moeilik in woorde gegiet kan word. Daardie ver dink wat jou wegvoer na onthou. Só helder, só intens, dat jy die Oktoberjakarandas van Pretoria in die lug kan ruik. Die jakarandablomme onder jou voete hoor bars as jy loop kampus toe. Die luglyn van Pretoria afgeëts sien vanaf Meintjieskop as die son sak, en jy en ‘n meisie wat jy probeer beindruk by die Uniegeboue ‘n kombersie op die grasperk gooi.
Jy diep kaas en soutbeskuitjies met ‘n groot gebaar op, saam met ‘n bottel wyn en geleende koshuisglase. Daardie diep dink aan gister wanneer jy stemme êrens, vêr in die wind kan hoor lag. Lank vergete, lanklaas gehoorde stemme. Mense van jou Tukshart wat jy in jou kop saamdra, waar jou spore ook heen mag gaan.

Die wintersaande in die taallaboratorium waar jy moet leer Duits praat: Ich, Meiner , Mir, Mich. Die meisie langs jou wat jou so mooi help. Saam met wie jy dan bibberend koshuis toe loop. En natuurlik jou arm om haar lyf sit om haar te beskerm teen die koue en Ander Gevare wat in die Donker skuil…. Die deurnaggesprekke in iemand se koshuiskamer oor die eienskappe van die Ideale Vrou (Vandag, in retrospeksie, weet jy daar bestaan nie so iets nie)
Die onthou is bittersoet: die paar kere toe jy en jou maters in donker kerkklere teruggekeer het van die begrafnis van een van julle wat vroeg, tè vroeg, julle verlaat het na ‘n motorongeluk. Hӓndel se Dodemars van Saul wat oor en oor op die motor se kassetspeler weergalm om die hartseer bietjie te salf. Maar die lekker-onthou is, soos wat mens ouer word, veel meer as die sleg-onthou.
Soos die lang kuiers om die teekan. Al die tokkelokke, wat hulleself onteenseglik beskou het as ontluikende Hegels of Heideggers, teugend aan pype, hoesend, borsfluitend, filosoferend oor die sin van die lewe. Daar móes ‘n pyp betrokke wees, want die groot teoloog Karl Barth het dan pyp gerook. Tot diè keer toe almal daar sit en wyshede kwytraak, en een opmerk dat die tee vandag darem snaaks smaak, en by verdere navorsing ‘n onnoembare voorwerp sien dryf in die tee wat deur die buurkoshuis, ons aartsvyand, daarin gegooi is.
Of die keer toe daar ‘n sogenaamde “broekraid” teen die buurkoshuis geveg is. 720 adrenalien-gedrewe jong manne, net in hulle onderbroeke, takel mekaar vir ‘n klompie minute. Die koshuis wat die meeste onderbroeke ingesamel het as die fluitjie blaas, is die wenners van die geveg. Dan word kragte saamgesnoer, en die ander vier koshuise op Tuks se proefplaas word aangeval, in ‘n gedetermineerde soeke na mansonderklere, aan of van hulle lywe af.
Op een so spesifieke geleentheid het daar vier onskuldige meisies op die malende massa manslywe afgekom: hulle was netjies aangetrek met sykouse en crimplenerokke, gewapen met twee kitare en ‘n blokfluit. En glad ingeoefen aan “Tell me why” en “Jy is my liefling” om te kom sêrrie vir die manskoshuise. Ek vermoed hulle het toe vir die eerste keer ‘n Volkswagen Kewer laat spin en gatomswaai, en tweedens naarstiglik by hulle koshuis gaan gryp na hulle kopieë van “Wat elke dogter wil weet”. Natuurlik nadat hulle emmers vol suikerwater vir die skok gedrink het.
Daardie spesifieke broekpaartie het ‘n effe bitter nasmaak gehad. Omdat adrenalien nie ‘n aan-en-afkraantjie het nie, is daar toe opsluit ‘n peleton gevorm, en die voornemende en gewese soldate het in Lynnwoodweg afgemarsjeer Tankotie-koshuis toe om te gaan swem. Natuurlik was daar nie gesofistikeerde kledingstukke soos swemkostuums of handdoeke of onderbroeke byderhand nie.
Een van die manne, wat die vorige jaar sy diensplig as korporaal voltooi het, het kliphard met sy armystem geroep: “lieks, has, lieks, has, lieks, has links!!” Sulke militêre bevele, met soveel gesag geroep, het natuurlik die geneigdheid om tweeuur in die oggend mense deur hulle vensters te laat loer in ‘n beskaafde voorstad soos Brooklyn. Dit was immer die tyd van Rooi en Swart en Geel gevaar.
Lang storie kort: die Brooklynpolisiestasie, en al die omringende stasies, se beskikbare vangwaens is volgestop met hierdie krygers. Dis nou diè wat nie vinnig genoeg kom wegkom nie. So tien-tien is hulle in selle gestop waar ‘n konstabel pynlik netjies die leggers geopen en opgedateer het. Wat opsigself ‘n ingewikkelde taak was. Want aangesien niemand enige klere aangehad het nie, het niemand uiteraard beursies in hulle sakke gehad om R10 borgtog te betaal nie. Kort-kort het daar uit ‘n sel ‘n vriendelike versoek na die konstabel gekom: “Generaal, vat julle kredietkaarte?” en, “Brigadier! Kan ek ‘n rekening oopmaak?” En ook: “Edelagbare, kan ek afbetaal?”
Die betrokke konstabel moes ‘n spesiale toekenning gekry het vir buitengewone selfbeheersing en geduld. Nog groter konsternasie die volgende dag in die Hebreeuse klas: die dosent het die onsmaaklike gewoonte gehad om elke periode “roll-call” te hou. Toe hy daardie oggend in die halfleë klas name uitroep, het die dagstudente (diè wat nie in koshuise was nie) na elke afwesige se naam uitgelees is, geantwoord: “In die tronk, prof!”
Die koshuisvader het later al die betrokkenes in groepe na sy kantoor laat kom en die leviete voorgelees. “Dis julle laaste kans, julle heel, heel, laaste kans!”, het hy gebulder. Die een kryger het sy hand opgesteek. “Wat is dit?”, het die koshuisvader geblaf. “Ek het al my laaste kans gehad, prof!” kom die antwoord.
Die rektor het die hele koshuis bymekaar gebring, vyfuur die middag in die ontspanningsaal. Die spanning was hoog. Almal het met groot oë geluister hoe dit sy voorneme was om elkeen in die koshuis te skors, en nog meer, te verban van enige Suid Afrikaanse kampus vir ‘n tydperk van ten minste twintig jaar. Met sy rug na die verhoog gekeer, het hy gefulmineer.
Ons is hier om leiers te kweek, nie barbare te huisves nie. Grootogig het almal geluister. Totdat die gordyne op die verhoog effens oopgeskuif het, en ‘n paar spierwit boude vir die rektor ‘n brownie gegooi het. Die onstoke professor kon nie verstaan waarom sy dreigemente op ‘n uitbundige gelag en handeklap uitgeloop het nie.
Police officer helps deliver baby as woman goes into labour on the street next to the police station.
Bethal: Yesterday, 2021-04-19, at about 18:45 a woman on her way to the hospital gave birth to a healthy baby boy in front of the police station on the side of the road, whereby Sergeant Itumeleng Motalane, who was on duty and Constable Tilane Lebitsa who was off duty had to act as midwives.
The incident happened after a member of the public came to the police station for his documents to be certified and noticed a woman with a man walking past the police station and heard a woman crying for help. He then alerted the police about a pregnant woman on the street and looked like she was about to go into labour.
Sergeant Motalane quickly left the Community Service Centre to help the lady in labour. Motalane and her colleague rushed to the scene and find a 35-year-old woman, who was accompanied by her partner, about to give birth right on the street.
While Sergeant Motalane was attending to the woman, she asked Constable Lebitsa to rush into her room to get a blanket.
However, when the colleague returned, she found that a baby, a boy, had already been born and mother and child were doing well. Motalane, who has been a police officer for 14 years, said it was her first time delivering a baby.
Sergeant Motalane
Sergeant Motalane said It was very cold and she was very scared when she was helping deliver the baby and that she started praying that God helps her save the innocent soul.
After delivering the baby, Sergeant Motalane and Constable Lebitsa took the mother and her baby boy to the hospital to be assessed using their private vehicle. The mother and the child were admitted to the hospital and the child was declared healthy and strong.
The station commander Lt Col Zelda Maluka commended members for going the extra mile by being midwives and helping the woman give birth to a healthy, strong boy.
Well done from all of us here at The Bulletin. This is such good news and a very nice gesture.
