Abandoned Baby boy may grow without relatives

ABANDONED baby boy may grow up without knowing his parents, let alone his own siblings or relatives. This is after he was dumped at a food outlet in Polokwane, Limpopo on Saturday. The baby was found after the shocked customer found him in a toilet. The employees of the outlet were alerted of the incident and the police were called. Handing a child over to a Social welfare place to take care of when one is unable to do so would have been a better solution but the suspect took a decision to leave the child in abundance. Although the child was left in the toilet in a food outlet there was no assurance that he will be safe. Many questions raised; what would have happened to him should no one goes to the toilet until the workers close it down? The Saturday weather was chilly and it was raining in Polokwane, the question remains; what could have happened to the young one the whole night and the whole of Sunday? The innocent soul does not know if the parent hates him so much to can be

PARAMOUNT King of Bapedi tribe Thulare Thulare III want the former regent Kgaudi Sekhukhune to bring back all the documents he used during his era. Thulare says that will make him forgive Sekhukhune and continue with their lives as son and uncle. The two had been in a fight over a throne for years. The fight started between Thulare's late father Rhyne and Sekhukhune.  The matter was settled by the High court last year when declaring Thulare as the rightful King of Bapedi tribe over Sekhukhune. The tribal fight divided the communities in Sekhukhune area. Sekhukhune did not back down and took the matter to the Supreme Court of Appeal to set aside the high court decision. "Please tell KK to bring back all the books and tribal documents. I hope he is keeping them safe because I heard he is selling land to the communities. I'm sorry to say this but those who are buying land from him are stupid. How can they buy the land belonging to themselves, because they supposed to

BURNING witches or accusing others of practising witchcraft is not an African culture. It can never be but others makes it a norm in their communities, more especially in the rural areas. In most cases those accused of witchcraft are burned while those who are luck to can continue breathing are banned from such communities. It is high time that Africans stand against such behaviors and say "Not in my Culture", so says Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Dr. Zweli Mkhize. He said there are channels to be followed when one committed a certain crime in the country but burning or killing a person can never be a solution. He spoke to the traditional leaders and communities in Moletjie Moshate outside Polokwane in Limpopo on Thursday. Mkhize emphasized that traditional councils also have a role to play in ensuring that people understand culture. "That need to stop because there is no way anyone can be allowed to take other person's life. I

We want to stop these ANC councillors who propose women using municipal posts. People will be hired according to their qualifications. These councillors will be hired to patch the potholes. Those who are illiterate will be working on the same level with these current councillors," said Malema.
