The R36 route from Mashishing

(Lydenburg) through Ohrigstad to
Hoedspruit, Phalaborwa and Tzaneen
vio Strydom Tunnel is open after the
Police at Leboeng arrested a number
of road blockers on Tuesday this week.
According to Leboeng Police
communications officer, constable
Andrew Maimela Sibatana, they are
investigating a case of public violence
after the community of Leboeng
Gankoana village blocked the R36
Road with burning tyres and stones next
to Leboeng New Stands. On Tuesday
2015-12-01 at about 04:00 the Police
received a report that the R36 Road is
blocked with stones and burning tyres
next to Leboeng New Stand Mountains.
On arrival the Police went there and
found that indeed the road was blocked,
but it appeared as if the road blockers
went home as the scene was deserted.
At about 09:00 the Community of
Leboeng Gankoana arrived in large
numbers with tyres and blocked the R36
road again. The Police dispersed them
and arrested 14 people, of which two
were released under parental custody
as they were under-age.
The Leboeng Police say We
advise our communities to refrain from
blocking the national roads as these
may endanger the lives of innocent
road users. One of our mandates as the
Police is to maintain public order and
to protect the citizens of South Africa
and any person in this country and their
property. We are going to make sure that
we prevent anything that endangers the
lives of our citizens and their property.
The suspectswere scheduled to appear
in the Praktiseer Magistrates Court on
Thursday 2015-12-03.

continue with business rescue.
The plan provides for, inter alia, the
purchase of creditors claims, excliding the
claims of Highveld and employees, against
Mapochs Mine by Hong Kong based major
metals company International Resources
Project Limited, also the successful bidder in
Highveld.

employees to go back home feeling red but sa sfied from the
work theyve done, but also cared for and safe. We care about

Limpopo Premiers
Christmas and New
Year message 2015
Once again the year is almost done, although it seems
like yesterday.
I therefore wish to congratulate all of us in Limpopo for
working diligently through difficult and trying times. My
greatest gratitudes goes to those civil servants who
served with distinction, taking services to our people. I
hope this trend continues in the coming year of 2017.
I call upon all who will be travelling to do it with care and in
style. There is nothing as sweet as arriving alive although
late. Lets drive safely with the mind of all others including
pedestrians. Lets do it even if there are no traffic police.

God made two great lightsthe greater light to govern the

day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the
stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on
the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate
light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:16-18 (NIV)

May we assist the police to do their job with distinction.

Lets have a crime free festive season by being police

May we all pray for peace and rain. May we take
Christmas as a time for family reunion.
Happy Christmas and a Prosperus New Year!

Die Gelofte
Hier staan ons voor die heilige GOD van hemel
en aarde om n gelofte aan Hom te doen dat as
Hy ons sal beskerm en ons vyand in ons hand
sal gee, ons die dag en datum elke jaar as n
dankdag soos n sabbat sal deurbring, en dat
ons n huis tot sy eer sal oprig waar dit Hom behaag, en dat ons ook aan ons kinders sal s dat
hulle met ons daarin moet deel tot nagedagtenis
ook vir die opkomende geslagte want die eer
van Sy naam sal verheerlik word deur die roem
en die eer van oorwinning aan hom te gee.
