MST Dealt a Hummer-Blow
By : Frans Sello waga Machate
It was not a business as usual for Mapulana Soccer Team (MST) when they clashed with Venning Football Club. The energy and passion for a win was very high for MST on Saturday at Brooklyn Soccer Field, but the rivals were better positioned for any attack against them. Although it was still hot on that sunny Saturday when the game kicked-off, the zeal was high on both sides.
There were plenty of goal opportunities for Venning FC’ striker Sipho Kwinda, who scored the opening goal, the second and the closing goal for the game. It was amazing how Kwinda was able to score two brilliant goals within the first 15 minutes. MST was oblivious that more goals against them were on the way, despite that the pendulum always swung into their territory. Another talented Venning player Fannie Mofomme scored two spectacular goals that finished MST.
MST was rescued by its well talented first timer Joel Chiloane who recorded two goals for Mapulana. Despite that it was a though game for MST, defender Herbert Chiloane and goalkeeper Lebogang Pebane from Newline in Arthurseat saved MST on a number of occasions. Both goalkeepers were able to save penalty shoots, on two separate instances, closing at 5-2 score against MST.
Venning FC coach David Kekana said he was satisfied with the game and his team’s performance, although he was not impressed with the second half because there were some loopholes on their side. Kekana further said that when they came for the game they had only one thing in mind, which was scoring as many goals as possible.
David said: “What we are aiming at is participating in the Pretoria Association of Football (PAF) League next season, so we take every game we play very serious.” The game produced two men of the match; namely Joel of MST and Fannie on the Venning side. The MST coach Aubrey Mashile blamed non-commitment for certain games on players. “Our players choose which games to attend and which ones not to attend, that is impacting badly on our performance. “ We are not consistent, we need to be more serious and not select certain games to attend.” Mashile emphasized.
The next MST’s game still to be confirmed will be against a Sheraton Hotel Team on Sunday the 21st at an unconfirmed venue, meanwhile Venning FC will play against Jacaranda Football Club on Saturday the 20th.

BBR TO BE RENDERED UNGOVERNABLE
By: Frans Sello waga Machate
MapTimes has reliably been informed about the possible mass action against the Bushbuckridge Local Municipality (BBR LM). The Bushbuckridge community is currently planning to render Bushbuckridge ungovernable in a near future, if their demands are not met. Preparations for protests are being finalized and a mass rally is due for this Sunday, March 14th at Greenvalley Soccer Field. Thousands of community members are expected to attend the rally in support of the mass action.
The community is calling for Mayor Milton Morema's removal as the mayor and all the Mayoral Committee members to step down. The community is angry about the mayor’s continuous failure to deliver basic services such as water, roads and housing to the needy. They accuse the municipality to have failed on many instances in delivering these basic services to the community and its nepotism on providing jobs to the deserving.
Amongst other community complaints are unfinished Greenvalley to Salique Estates road tarring, Morele road maintenance and the Champaign Project which was completed in 1997 but not utilized. Both projects have already cost the tax payers millions of rands and yet the community claims to have not benefited directly.
The Bushbuckridge community has already marched twice this year in an attempt to submit their memorandum to the offices of the mayor and the premier David Mabuza respectively. Although all their grievances fell into deaf ears in the Mpumalanga Province, the community is now threatening to take it up to Union Building in Pretoria if the mayor and his committee do not step down with immediate effect.
Amongst the march organizers are Bushbuckridge tribal authority Chiefs, Headmen and women who feel that their authorities are being neglected at local level. One of the March organizers Delta Mokoena, said that over 100 buses will be organized to ferry the masses to Pretoria.
It is alleged that Morema had previously mobilized South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) members and other Municipal employees for a counter-march against the community. It is also alleged that jobs are given to the mayor’s allies who are not capable to deliver their mandates, except to misuse state funds.
Mokoena said “When we marched previously we expected the mayor to acknowledge our Memorandums, except he decided to march against the community. “The Bushbuckridge community can no longer tolerate this kind of behavior and negligence in service delivery, this time we are going to march up to President (Jacob) Zuma’s office in Union Buildings.”
Further attempts to get BBR LM Mayor Milton Morema’s comment failed, as several calls on his cellphone were unattended. The community's outcry is mainly poor service delivery, the mayor’s underperformance and the municipality's inadequate financial accountability. The protest is likely to take place from this weekend.

MST GASHED AVIS
By: Frans Sello waga Machate
The recent Mapulana Soccer Team’s (MST) game against Avis on March 06th was one of the team’s easiest pass-through, as the opponents were the weakest link in the chain. Although Avis was the host for the Saturday game on the Pretoria West soccer pitch, that didn’t pose any threat for MST which looked more bold throughout the game.
MST joined scores of both South Africans and Africans in celebrating less than 100 days before the kick-off of the first FIFA Soccer World Cup in Africa, which is due on June 11 at Soccer City in Johannesburg by slapping Avis team 7-1. The encounter between the Avis and MST was so thrilling and humorous; because MST was able showcase all their skills and styles freely as it was a green-light on the Avis defense.
Despite that the game kicked off about 45 minutes before the end of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) game between Kaizer Chiefs and Free State Stars, which played some few kilometers away at Loftus Versfeld, it received satisfactory spectators. MST coach Thabiso Malapane said he is happy with the team’s recent performance against Avis and that makes him more optimistic about the future of MST. “On our side we have improved a lot with regard to ball control and passing.” Malapane added.
Nicholus ‘Tornado’ came up with some brilliant and more spectacular three goals in few minutes after Real Mashego and Tshepo Mashego’s goals. Saturday seemed to be the Mashegos’ day as amongst other players who trashed Avis with red-hot goals was Thabo Mashego. Tshepo who scored two goals also complemented brilliant goals scored by ‘Tornado’ and emphasized they were an award winning goals.
MST defender Mike got a hand injury and had to be substituted before the end of the game. MST might play against Monitoring SA at Sports Park in Centurion this weekend.
