(copy of their input is attached to this report for ease of reference). The following inputs, which were preceded by community meetings in various villages, were given: 1. Mashamba Village The people have opted to be served by Waterval. Transport leads to Waterval and its cumbersome to reach Tshitale which services them currently owing to costs as they have to take two different taxis to Tshitale. The second taxi they board at Waterval. SAPS Waterval is servicing the area 2. Wayeni Ward 20 (Vleifontein) which is part of Nthabalala but closer to Waterval to be included in Waterval. Wayeni fall sunder Waterval not Tshitale. 3.Bungeni Taxi Association Confirms need for Wayeni to remain in Waterfal. There is no transport to Tshitale. Njaka-njaka which is part of Bhungeni to also fall under Waterval. Communities have easy access to transport to Waterval 4. Maila

RO to prioritised procurement of modular structures to cater for additional services at Rust de Winter. Possibility of upgrading the court to a branch/ place of sitting mooted.
Transport to Tshitale not available. One has to take a taxi to Waterval then Tshitale. Waterval more accessible for the community 5. Masia A meeting was called by the Chief at which civic organisations and Headmen were present. Masia is currently under Magistrate Vuwani. Further a detailed input regarding the following farms was given: Schuuinshoogte LT 29 Vygebomsdrift LT 53 Ongedacht LT 52 Onverwacht LT 66 De Hoop LT 68 Waterboom Versameling van Waters LT 31 Beafort LT 32 These were recommended for inclusion into Vuwani Magistrate Court. 6.

Mashau community is half way Vuwani and halfway Waterval. Our community is aligned to Vuwani for business. Transport to Waterval is a problem as the have to get to Vuwani first before going to Waterval. The following area: Barani; Valdezia- Gwarani is policed by Waterval SAPS must therefore fall under Waterval 7. Hlanganani Mpheni closer to Hlanganani; Junami is 3kms to Waterval; Maila- Vleifontein is 40kms to Vuwani and less than 10 to Waterval; Valdezia is closer to Hlanganani than L/T.

Community do their business/ shop in Waterval. The community wish to be included in Waterval 9. Masia Civic Organisation Currently under Vuwani as far as the magistrates courts are concerned but the Regional court remands cases for Malamulele. There is no transport to Malamulele as people have to get to Waterval to get transport to Malamulele. We used to go to Sibasa and Sibasa was more accessible. We were not consulted when this decision was taken The meeting was attended by A/DCO, SAPS, Legal Aid, Acting Sub-Cluster Head-Modimolle, ACM, Court Manager, and the Farming Community, and the Secretariat of the RCC. The purpose of the meeting was to get the view of the community on the Recommendations of the RCC that Tuinplaas be excised from Modimolle and be included in the Mookgopong Magisterial districts as if falls within Mookgopong Municipal Boundaries. The view of the Community The Chairperson of the Tuinplaas Agri-Forum mentioned that the distance from Tuinplaas to Modimolle is 20KM and the state of the road to Mookgopong is in a bad condition hence there has been a lot of accident on the road. The bad state of the road was also confirmed by members of the RCC who travelled through that road to the meeting. It was further raised that the farmers have access to transport towards Modimolle. SAPS also submitted that there is an existing route for public transport to Modimolle in a single ride thus there are enough taxis from Malebitsa that passes Tuinplaas to Modimolle , unlike to
Page 20 of 42
Minutes of the meetings to be submitted by AgriTuinplaas for record purpose and for confirmation
It was resolved that Tuinplaas Periodical Court should remain under Modimolle as opposed to the recommendation that it should be under Mookgopong
Mookgopong which takes one taxi to Mookgopong which might delayed Court timesthus there a single taxi that comes from Marapyane to Mookgopong. SAPS also serve bigger area towards Modimolle. 80% of the farms are closer to Modimolle but appears to be nearer on the maps towards Mookgopong. SAPS also submitted that there are no holding cells and therefore it will mean prisoners and detainees will have to be transported to Mookgopong, which will be a costing exercise It was raised as well that even in terms of Medical Facilities Mookgopong will send them to Mokopane which is further 60 KM and as such these will be costly for the farming workers. Modimolle has Medical Facilities. LEGAL AID submitted that there is not enough statistics that will warrant the appointment of permanent Legal Aid Practitioner for Tuinplaas 7

better served by Thohoyandou or Tshaulu as the Periodical Court which is a walking distance from the villages. Transport fares from Malamulele is R38.00 whereas to Thohoyandou is R30.00. Member of the community in support of Chief Tshikonelo mentioned that traditionally if the Chief has spoken the meeting is over and community will follow what has been said by the Chief and highlighted that the Chief is not a dictator even when the President has spoken the matter is regarded as finalised. He mentioned the hardship the community will bear if served by Malamulele as the distance to Saselemani was likened with going to Louis Trichardt as the transport network is not accessible. It was further raised that economic activity at Malamulele as not being conducive as compared to Thohoyandou and if they were to go to court they will have to pay double transport. It was raised that community is comfortable with in working police and that there should be a working relationship with SAPS, Judiciary and a Municipality. It was mentioned that the Department should rather look at the possibility of establishing Periodical Court at Tshikonelo in honour of the Chief The meeting was attended by the Traditional Council and the RCC was represented by the Sub cluster Head- Thohoyandou and Malamulele, the Chair person and the Secretariat. The view of the Community: th

It was resolved that the area will remain under Thohoyandou Magistrate Court
under Thohoyandou. We have no complaint about services offered in Thohoyandou. All the community structures agreed that there will be no debate about the decision taken. Dividing the Chief’s area by taking Dobeni and Khakhangwe to Malamulele will disadvantage the community as there are no direct taxis to Malamulele from the area. People board to Thohoyandou and thereafter to Malamulele. It will be costly for them to go to Malamulele Thohoyandou SAPS is policing the area and has a satellite police station in the area. The area has 15 villages and for all of them it is easier to access Thohoyandou than Malamulele. They do their business in Thohoyandou. 16

The community was well represented, women, youth and the elderly Questions raised by the community after learning about the proposal to relocate them to Thabamoopo from Mokerong: a) What will happen to the Zebediela PC? Zebediela is far from Lebowakgomo? Can’t the Zebediela PC be upgraded? b) Will Magatle PC be upgraded? Is it safe for Magistrate infrastructure wise? It is cheaper to get to Lebowakgomo however- what will happen to the maintenance files at Mokerong? What will happen to the magistrates who serviced Magatle from Mokerong? c) Will the service be as good as at Mokerong? d) Consideration of stats to upgrade Zebediela will not assist the rural area as people go to Lebowakgomo- cant the court be upgraded regardless of stats?
Page 27 of 42
It was resolved that services be relocated to Thabamoopo on temporary basis whilst Magatle’s infrastructure and personnel issues are being looked into
Magatle is to be upgraded to a branch court. Additional infrastructure possibly parkhomes to be procured. Head of Court and Court Manager to ensure that the norms and service standards are adhered to ensure that service similar to those offered by Mokerong and Mokopane continue at Thabamoopo/ Magatle
e) Magatle is the centre of Zebediela- Magatle is the right place to offer services. All services are offered there f) Why Lebowakgomo and not Magatle? g) Rafiri and Mokgotho are far from Lebowakgomo h) Lebowakgomo is still far we need services here in Zebediela i) Magatle be a branch court j) Mokopane is farther than Lebowakgomo for children court matters for the orphaned children. Cases cannot be finalised because of distance and the associated costs. It costs R100 to take one child to Mokopane if they are 8 one has to pay R800. We look forward to Magatle being a branch court k) is relocation to Lebowakgomo temporary or permanent? 17
