A car that crashed into a fuel station shopin Modimolle left many people wonderingwhat it took for an experienced driver tolose control like that.Saturday, 6 October, started out as a nor-

mal day for petrol attendants and shopworkers at the Total Garage in Modimolle.The day soon turned sour when an unex-pected incident turned the convenienceshop into a drive through service withoutintending to do so.According to the police, a speeding car

Front page story...

Car crashes through fuel station shopcame from the Bela Bela side on the R101and suddenly swerved at the traffic lightnext to the Total Garage, ending up in-side the shop. The Honda Ballade sedancrashed through the shop windows andcame to a halt inside the shop.Warrant Off icer James Findlay,

spokesperson for the Modimolle police,said that a Mr Johannes Roos was thedriver of the ill-fated car.Findlay said that Roos lost control of

the vehicle when he wanted to turn leftat the traffic light.Police and an ambulance were called

to the scene of the accident and Rooswas taken to hospital with minor inju-ries.A case of negligence and reckless driv-

ing was opened against the 74-year-oldRoos.On the same day, later that night, a

Modimolle resident and six other peopledied in a head-on collision when theywere on their way to Lephalale.One of the deceased, Mr Mpho

Moreroa, from Modimolle, was a lecturerat the Lephalale FET College. The fullnature of the accident is not known yet.

Bela Bela pre-paid electricity mystery solved TK Mashaba

The Bela Bela Municipality finally took thetime to explain the new electricity tariffsto the residents of the town after releas-ing an announcement that consumersfound hard to understand.This explanation comes after The BEAT

published an article and a photograph ofthree electricity purchases. The slipsshowed the same meter account and thesame amount paid, but different amountsof units were given for the same amountof money.Mr Matome Sebelebele, spokesperson

for the Bela Bela municipality, said hewould investigate and get back to TheBEAT. “There had been a meeting with

NERSA (National Energy Regulator ofSouth Africa) and, in August, NERSAapproved the new tariff schedules,” hesaid.According to Sebelebele, the consum-

ers were billed on a fixed rate in the past.This meant that residents could buy elec-tricity at any time and at any outlet and

the amount paid per unit would stay thesame.Since the approval of the new tariffs by

NERSA, electricity in Bela Bela is billedper 1-100kwh in an inclining format.For the first 100 kilo-watts (a unit to

measure electricity) that the consumeruses in a month, that consumer will pay99 cents per unit. For the next 450 kilo-watts in the same month, the same con-sumer will pay 110 cents per unit.The next 250 kilo watts that the con-

sumer buys in the same month will costthat consumer 122 cents per unit and anymore units bought in the same month willcost 127 per unit.The tariffs are calculated on a monthly

basis and are implemented as such. Theadvertised prices are therefore permonthly usage. The more electricity youuse per month, the more you will pay perunit of electricity.Bela Bela residents who have any que-

ries and questions about the new elec-tricity tariffs are welcome to contact themunicipality for clarification of the sys-tem that is now in place.

It seems that retail workers jumped the gunwhen they decided to plan a strike recently,as the Department of Labour in the countryis set to review their minimum wages.Spokesperson for the department in

Limpopo, Mr Johannes Mokou, said that thewholesale and retail sector public briefingsgot off to a good start at the department’sprovincial offices in Polokwane on Monday,8 October.Mokou said that the department’s officials

explained that the minimum wage is set tobe reviewed in January next year.He indicated that the current minimum

wage for the sector stands at R2396.37 fora cashier, while a shop assistant earnsR2354.37.“The hearings are part the department’s

efforts to solicit views from the affectedstakeholders about the forthcoming wageadjustments and other working conditions.The process will feed into Employment Con-dition Commission (ECC), the body thatadvices the Minister on wages and otherconditions of employment,” he said.Acting director of employment standards,

Mr Titus Mtsweni, said that the primary pur-pose of the hearings is to review and getinput from stakeholders regarding minimumwages and to take a new look at job cat-egories by aligning them to current realitiesin the sector. He added that the sector em-ploys about 1 200 000 people across nine

Wholesale and Retail wage set for reviewprovinces.One of the large employers in Limpopo, Mr

Louis du Plessis, said that the critical thingcoming up with any wage adjustment is tofind a balance between the needs of theemployees as against the realities of theemployers.“We should look at the economy and try to

accommodate people with reasonablewages within the context and ensuring thatthe operation of business remains sustain-able,” he saidMokou said that the hearing will continue

in other parts of the province where thefocus will also be on the taxi industry.Meanwhile, members of the South Afri-

can Commercial, Catering and AlliedWorkers Union (SACCAWU), in BelaBela, announced that they expect to jointheir counterparts in other provinces fora wage strike soon.One SACCAWU member, representing

the workers, told The BEAT that opera-tions at all retail stores would come to astandstill when they embark in the strike.The union member said that the work-

ers have been requesting wage incre-ments for far too long. They feel they de-serve the increase in wages due to thehard work they are doing on a daily ba-sis.Mokou said that these briefings came

at the right time, where the workers canbe informed. He said that he believed thatthis can also avoid a strike.

Explain it to usLast week The BEAT published an ar-ticle and a photograph of three elec-tricity purchases. The slips showed thesame meter account and the sameamount paid, but different amounts ofunits were given for the same amountof money.When The BEAT asked the Bela Bela

municipality for an explanation, thespokesperson said that he had to in-vestigate the matter first.This week, the municipality came

back to The BEAT with some answers.As it turns out, electricity in Bela Belais now billed per 1-100kwh in an inclin-ing format. (See Page 3)The Bela Bela Municipality did place

advertisements and announcements inall the local papers to inform the publicof the new tariff system. The problemis that the residents of the town, thepeople who the municipality is sup-posed to serve, do not understand thecomplicated tables and terminology.Once again, the local government has

failed the very people who voted theminto position. According to StatisticsSouth Africa, only 71% of residents inBela Bela are literate. This means that29% of the population did not under-stand the announcements about thetariff changes.Even The BEAT journalists, who can

all read and write very well, had a hardtime to understand the new electricitytariff as it is set out in the table that themunicipality published.The question that comes to mind that

a local government should make surethat their constituents are well informedand happy with services rendered. Tobe able to do so, they should know thepeople that they serve. They shouldunderstand that, where a third of thepopulation is illiterate, another way ofinforming the people should be imple-mented.This is just another way that the lead-

ers who are voted into power by thepublic, does not have the best interestof the public at heart.Other examples include the poor qual-

ity of service delivery in the area. Ac-cording to statistics, Mookgophong waswithout electricity for a total of 45 hoursin three month’s time. Residents ofMookgophong also had to survive with-out water for long periods in Septem-ber because the water pumps could notwork without electricity.In Modimolle, residents are struggling

to live without a clean water supply. Forthe past few months, the town has tocope with extremely low water pressureor no water at all.Rates are forever increasing while

services are worse and worse everyyear. The question is: what will the av-erage voter do about the matter whenthe next election comes around?

Heavenly healing Bishop Silas Tlou

Laying hands on the sick was a com-mon practice in the Early Church.Jesus often laid hands on peoplebefore healing them (Mark 6:5; Luke4:40; 13:13). Paul laid hands on a sickperson and he was healed (Acts28:8). Jesus said concerning His fol-lowers, “they will place their hands onsick people, and they will get well”(Mark 16:18).Anointing with oil for many different

purposes was commonly practicedthroughout the Scriptures. The NewTestament mentions it specifically inconnection with praying for the sick.On one occasion Jesus sent out thetwelve disciples on a mission; they“anointed many sick people with oiland healed them” (Mark 6:13). In acongregational situation, the usualprocedure is for a sick Christian tocall for the elders of the church to prayover him and to anoint him with oil(James 5:14-16).In biblical times oil was commonly

used as a healing agent (Luke 10:34).But when used by the early Christiansfor anointing purposes it was merelya symbolic reminder to God’s heal-ing power. Today as then, the anoint-ing oil itself has no healing power.Healing takes place by the power ofthe Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38), of whomoil is a symbol (Zechariah 4:4-6).Mark 16:18 – “…they will pick up

snakes with their hands; and whenthey drink deadly poison, it will nothurt them at all; they will place theirhands on sick people, and they willget well.” One of the signs that followus as a believer is the healing powerof God.James 5:14 says, “Is any among you

sick?” If we were to ask that questiontoday in church, most Christians wouldraise their hands. James 5:14 goeson to say, “Let him call for the eldersof the church.” As Christians, we re-lease our faith by simply calling theelders. The Bible says, “Let them prayover him, anointing him with oil in thename of the Lord.”Hebrews 11:6 – “And without faith it

is impossible to please God, becauseanyone who comes to him must be-lieve that he exists and that he rewardsthose who earnestly seek him.” Wemust understand that healing belongsto us! In the death, burial, and resur-rection Jesus won it for us! We mustreceive it. In order for us to receiveanything from God, we must receiveit by faith.In order to have faith, we must un-

derstand the Word. Romans 10:17 –“Consequently, faith comes from hear-ing the message, and the message isheard through the word of Christ.” Asyou meditate on what the Word of Godsays about healing, you will releaseyour faith to receive his healing powerin your body.You cannot change your life without

changing your mind. We must changeour mind when it does not line up withthe Word. We begin to change ourmind, when we take the Word andrevolve it around in our mind.

Local soccer fans opinion of the attack on coaches“The Carling Black Label Cup allows the fans to be coaches of their favourite teams...”

Tebogo Nkwinika thinks teams shouldhave a public platform where support-ers would send in their concerns. Photo:Mzamane Ringane

The most recent attack by soccer fanson Mamelodi Sundowns coach, JohanNeeskens, has the tongues wagging athome and abroad.Most soccer enthusiasts anticipated

that it was the end of Neeskens coach-ing career at Mamelodi Sundowns.Speculation was rife that the manage-ment was likely to part ways with theNetherlands born coach, because ofthe team’s poor performance since thebeginning of the season. The SA Foot-

ball Association (SAFA) president,Kirsten Nematandani, shortlyexpressed concern over thegrowing rate of attacks oncoaches by soccer fans.Nematandani said this actmust be eliminated withoutany delay.

His call was backed bythe SA Football CoachesAssociat ion (SAFCA).SAFCA interim president,Gregory Mashilo, saidthat they condemn thegrowing trend of attackson coaches by support-ers.

Mashilo said i t waswrong for supporters to

take matters into their ownhands.

The Beat Sportspoke to local fans tohear what they had to say about the re-cent attack on Coach Johan Neeskens.Orlando Pirates supporter, Tebogo

Nkwinika, said that the attacking of coaches is not agood way to communicate their dismay. Nkwinikasuggested that teams should have a public plat-form where supporters would send in their con-cerns.“Teams should set up websites or host open

days to enable supporters to interact with theircoaches and management. Fans andcoaches have a different perspective whencoming to players, so I think it would befair enough to let us as supporters togive opinion”, said Nkwinika.Kaizer Chiefs supporter, Fana

Chuma, believes it is not solely thecoaches’ job to make sure that theteams win matches; he saidplayers should also take ac-count whenever the team isnot doing well.“I think supporters should

be given a chance to playa role in selecting the bestteam.The Carling Black Label

Cup allows the fans to becoaches of their favourite teams.I think it would be a good idea to

introduce that system in the PSL.PSL players are getting huge sala-ries, so they also have to put inmore efforts in assisting theirteams to win matches,” saidChuma.Daniel ManeleSkhosana believes that playerscan also play poorly if they dis-like their coach.

The new SAFA soccer League, previ-ously known as the Vodacom soccerLeague, was supposed to kick off onSaturday, 6 October, but all fixtureswere postponed until further notice.According to Mr Pat Seema, the

SAFA provincial secretary, the delaywas caused by problems with logis-tics and administration issues.One of the main problems was the

fact that some players in the leaguedid not receive their player registra-tion cards on time. “We are still deal-ing with the registration process and
