Participation Of Mokone Wa Matlala In Community Development Program

Wellinton Sepadi Matlala is serious about development of the communities around Jane Furse and neighboring villages within Sekhukhune Region of Limpopo Province. During his term as ward councilor in Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality, Taxman organized and paid for transport as he arranged an induction program whereby he made learners of Matsebong High School familiar with environment of university at university of the North as part of motivating them to be committed with their studies. Most of those learners performed well at the end of their final exams. They ended up registering with tertiary institutions and they are currently working. Mr. Moses Mosese is an example. His parents were struggling to financially support him to further his studies. Eventually Taxman approached local and young business man, the late Garry Tjale who voluntarily managed to contribute certain funds  which made it possible for Moses to be registered at tertiary institution.

During the term of Mrs Chrissie Phokoane as chairperson of SGB at Bafedi Primary School while Mr. the late Moleke was the Principal, Tax Matlala was coopted into the SGB and he led the team to successfully trace school property which was supposed to be delivered at the school. He also assisted Mefolo High School during the term of former Principal Mahloko at Manganeng village in the same way. Both schools became happy.
He worked together with the department of Social Development which was led by Mrs Mphahlele to initiate a garden and create a water bore hole at Bafedi Primary School.

Some old people were complaining that they could not benefit from old age grants as their identity documents had been erred. For that matter Tax Matlala arranged with the Department of Home Affairs in order to inform them about the requirements correcting their identity documents. Only the late Mrs. Kgaphola who was known as Mmago Mpuru managed to collect the documents  as per requirements. Then Tax organized and paid transport for Mrs. Kgaphola to Lebowakgomo where her identity document had been corrected and ended up successfully benefiting the grant as she so hoped.

This year, 2018 Miss Mamphare Virginia Makua had encountered a problem. Her shack in which she lives with three children was affected by disaster due to fire. All her belongings caught fire and nothing could be saved. She is single and unemployed mother who has disability. Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality with the assistance of Mrs. Lebogang Mphela under the senior leadership of Disaster Management by Mrs. Elizabeth Marishane provided the victim with ready made shack and some blankets. As it was really not enough for the victim, Taxman Matlala approached some local business people including other employees who are working in the municipality, and successfully requested donations on behalf of the victim, and the following people submitted their contributions;
1. Mr. Villy Matlala
2. Mr. Kotole Matlala
3. Mr. Ronald Moganedi
4. Mrs. Elizabeth Marishane
5. Mr. Marumo Lekwankwa
6. Dr. Seoki Lerutla
7. Mr. Abram Mashabela

Taxman acknowledged contributions of the above-mentioned donors. As he was engaging further he found that the Executive Mayor of Sekhukhune, Councilor Keyamotseng Stanley Ramaila was playing significant role asking business people to participate in social development program. Actually Mr Mashabela was responding to the call of the Executive Mayor and Taxman whishes them together with all who are mentioned above good luck in that program as it reflect their dedication to social development.

Taxman resolved to involve Mrs. Tebogo Nonyane who was eager to assist in the program so that he can have somebody to witness what takes place in relation to contributions. That is the reason why today Taxman and Tebogo are calling upon all people (individuals and organizations) who might be interested in accomplishment of the project: construction of the house for Virginia Makua.
Mr Mashabela disclosed that he participated in activities aimed at a fight against poverty such as building a house for a particular family within Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality; and supporting community sport by donating for tournaments and buying soccer kits to foot ball clubs in Ngwanamatlang community.
