ConCourt
hears about
Bapedi
kingship
On Tuesday 26 August 2014 at 10h00 the Constitutional Court
heard an application for leave to appeal against a judgment of the
Supreme Court of Appeal concerning the validity of the decision
taken by the Commissioner of Traditional Leadership Disputes and
Claims (the first respondent) regarding the Bapedi Kingship.
The dispute was between the Mampuru royal family and the
Sekhukhune royal family. Having considered the evidence before it,
the Commissioner ruled that the Mampuru royal family had lost the
kingship 150 years ago to the Sekhukhune royal family in 1861.
Instead of taking the challenge of Sekhukhune, to fight for the
kingship, Mampuru II fled and sought refuge from another traditional
community. He later returned and killed Sekhukhune I but did not
ascend the throne. The Commissioner, therefore, determined that
the kingship resorts in the lineage of Sekhukhune I.
The Mamone Royal House (the applicant) unsuccessfully
brought an application under the Promotion of Administrative Justice
Act to review the Commissioners decision. in the High Court
arguing that it was irrational and based on an incorrect application of
the rule that kingship could be usurped through might and
bloodshed. The Mamone Royal Houses appeal to the Supreme
Court of Appeal was also not successful.
In this Court the Mamone Royal House persists with its
contention that the Commissioner acted irrationally, failed to take
relevant facts into account and deviated from the principle of
primogeniture by which succession to traditional leadership is
established.
The Commissioner argues that the customary law rule of
usurpation through might and bloodshed was established and
applied rationally in determining where the Bapedi kingship lay.
The court reserved judgment.
Yes!

tion pending against you for non-pay-
ment, a visit to a registered Debt Coun-
sellor may save you and make life much
easier.
The Debt Counsellor will assist you in
drawingup a budget that will allow you
to repay your debt, but still have
money for living expenses such as food, transport
and utility bills.
With the assistance of the Debt Counsellor you
could be placed under Debt Review. The Debt
Counsellor can also renegotiate terms of payment
with the companies you owe money. Your install-
ments may become lower, but you will not be al-
lowed to make any new debt. The up side is that
while you are under Debt Review the bank can-
not take back your car or house. Furniture shops
cannot simply come and collect your lounge set
because you defaulted on the payment. If you are
in the process of negotiating for better repayment
terms through your Debt Counsellor your belong-
ings are safe. It is however important that you
realize that you will have to repay the money you
owe and that a debt free life is eventually pos-
sible.
The sooner you visit a registered Debt Counsel-
lor to assit you, the faster you could be debt free
again.
Remember it is important to make use of a regis-
tered Debt Counsellor that is registered with the
National Credit Regulator. This will ensure that
the payments you are making will be going to-
wards paying off your debts and not disappear
into someones pockets.
Act now, and end this year debt free!

Steve Ramaila is your friendly
pharmacist at Pharmacy at Spar.
Take care of
sprains and
strains
Your body is made up of many parts, but your ligaments
and tendons surround the joints of the body. When a joint
gets twisted beyond normal, the tendons and ligaments
become stretched and may even tear slightly. The body
responds to this injury by releasing chemicals in the area
causing swelling. This can also occur when the muscles
are damaged.
Common treatments for sprains include rest, ice, compres-
sion and elevation. Limit the use of your injured body part.
Initially apply ice to the injury. Ice should not be left longer
than 20 minutes at a time and can be used several times a
day. Use a bandage to wrap around the injury. Dont wrap
it too tightly. This well help prevent too much swelling. El-
evate the injury above your heart when possible. This will
also assist with the prevention of swelling.
Your local pharmacy stock a variety of bandages and cool-
ing ointments that can be applied to a sprain. Ask your
friendly pharmacisit for the best options available.
Artists who performed at the event included Adam Tas (above),
Bongi, Leandri Small, The Rustlers, Dusty Dixon, Armand the
Singing Cowboy, Vasti and Charne Grabe. These artists kept the
beat going while people took to the dance floor.

Bring out the Bling: Casual Day is on Friday 5 September
2014. Casual Day provi des the country wi th the
opportunity to show their solidarity with persons with
disabilities, at the same time enjoying teambuilding and
camaraderie with their fellow participants.
The theme is appropriately celebratory, says Project
Leader Celeste Vinassa. We have been dressing
casually for the past two decades, but this year is a special
occasion. We thank all the celebrities who have helped
us raise awareness for our project, including every Miss
SA for the last 19 years. Rolene Strauss, the current Miss
SA has also shown her support for Casual Day.So our
message to you is to rustle up a little razzle dazzle, and
dress up in the official colour of the year, dazzle blue.
Casual Day is all about fantasy and dressing up in things
you can find around the house. Be creative with glitter,
fabric, shiny paper or just wear your sticker and a posh
casual attitude!
Casual Day is South Africas most successful fundraising
project for persons with disabilities and the amount raised
for last year has climbed to R24.8 million. .
Sti ckers are avai l abl e from:Edgars, Jet, JetMart,
Boardmans, CNA, Red Square and Legit;
Absa outlets; Game and DionWired stores; Shoprite and
Checkers stores.
Or you can donate online. You can contact the organisers
of the project on 011 609 7006 or visit our website at

Mighty Aces face-off with
Tubatse Masters FC
On Saturday 23 August the Tubatse Mighty
Aces football academy hosted the Tubatse
Masters at Kweledi Secondary School sports
ground in Praktiseer.
The masters dominated the game in the first
half, creating many scoring opportunities of
which they managed to convert 2 into goals.
They were scored by Titus Mashaba and
Lekgotla Motswiane. The hosts created a few
chances as well, but failed to penetrate the
defence of the Masters. The half time score
was 2-0 in favour of Tubatse Masters. In the
second half both teams made an effort to
improve their play. The hosts scored their first
goal by Moeketsi Maradona Seroale just a few
minutes from the restart to make the score 2-1.
The Masters third goal was scored by Thapelo
Maredi and a few minutes later Pitso Sehlabela
also scored for the Masters. Late in the second
half the hosts Lazzy Rooney Seleme scored 2
goals. The final score was 4-3 in favour of the
Tubatse Masters. (Photographs: Thato Maredi;
