1000 for charity

Laerskool Ohrigstad decided to reach out to the less privileged just before winter and col-
lected 1000 non-perishable home essentials and food just before the school holidays. On
Wednesday they handed it to a representative of a local church for orderly distribution. Said
one parent We are not big on tinned food. Now we have none. My child raided the pantry
and took everything for this charity drive! Said a reprtesentative of the school Winter is
coming, and not everybody has something to eat. We must be sensistive towards the needs
of others.

Proud achievers
Thirty-one students from Limpopo were
awarded with TDM (Tool, Die and Mould-
making) Powered Foundation Certificate on
Wednesday 16 March, at an awards function.
Lodge near Polokwane. Mahlatse Nkosi, from
Steelpoort was received and award as the
Overall Achiever 2016 in Steelpoort.
60% of the students from Lephalale and 88%
of the students from Steelpoort who were
selected for the TDM Powered Foundation
Programme, successfully completed the
2016 year and were awarded with certificates
of acknowledgement.
The Programme provides students entry into
the manufacturing and tooling industry and
was designed, developed and implement-
ed as a feeder programme for the Artisan
Programme with a focus on remedial Mathe-
matics, Science and English and other gaps.
It provides students with an opportunity to ac-
quire the necessary skills to pursue a career
in the manufacturing industry.
Forty four percent of the 146 foundation
students are female, and the highlight of the
event was when two female students, namely
Mahlatse Nkosi, from Steelpoort and Mo-
rongwa Motsuki from Lephalale received the
awards for the 2016 Overall Achiever at their
respective training institutions. They were
also awarded with the Best Practical Achiev-
er awards. Dennis Maduma (Steelpoort) and
Tshilidzi Ramuhala (Lephalale) were present-
ed with the Best Trade Theory Awards.
In her keynote address Lilly Maja, Chief
Director: LEDET said: I hope you (the
learners) will not only be looking for jobs,
but be the ones creating the jobs. Commit
yourselves to make a difference not only in
your skills journey, but in the economy of our
country.

Drug bust in Ohrigstad
The Ohrigstad SAPS made a very significant
breakthrough in the fight against drugs. On
23 March 2017 at about 23:50 they were
busy with an intelligence driven crime pre-
vention operation led by
Ohrigstad Vispol commander W/O Maname-
la when they arrested two suspects aged
between 25 to 26 years on the R36 road
next to the Caltex garage. The suspects
were arrested for the possession of 8 plastic
bags containing dagga with an estimated
street value of R20-000. The two suspects
were arrested after the SAPS pulled over a
suspicious brown mazda bakkie on the R36
road. The SAPS discovered the black bag
containing 8 plastic wrapped with a brown
masking tape which the suspects confirmed
to be dagga inside and they were arrested
immediately and charged with possession of
dagga.
The suspects appeared briefly before the
Praktiseer magistrate court on 27 March and
their case has been reminded to Monday
3 April for further investigation. They will
remain in custody.
Meanwhile on Monday 27 March another
suspect was arrested on the gravel road to
Kaspersnek farm by SAPS crime prevention
members for possession of dagga. He had
a bag of dagga weighing 0,012 gram, and
he will appear in court soon or
he can plead guilty and pay an
admission of guilty fine to the
amount of R300-00 to R500-00.
The SAPS will continue to arrest
anyone who is found to be in
possession of or dealing with
drug. We want to send a strong
message to all drug lords that
our members are working tire-
less to clamp down on them and
that their clocks are ticking. It is
only a matter of time before we
arrest them said Sgt Phokane.
