Justice has been served. ⚖️
Christopher Mgiba, responsible for the brutal Echo Caves murders and attacks, has been sentenced in the High Court in Polokwane to 2x life sentences plus 46 years imprisonment (to run concurrently, effectively life).

At Thabazimbi Golf Club, we stand with Bosveld Misdaad Ondersoeke (BMO) in their tireless fight for justice. Our hearts remain with the grieving family, and we extend our deepest condolences during this time of loss.

Did you know?

Thabazimbi’s very name tells a story! Derived from the Setswana words thaba (mountain) and dintshepe (iron), it means “mountain of iron.” The town was founded in 1931 when massive iron ore deposits were discovered in the Kransberg range. Today, Thabazimbi remains proudly known for its iron mining heritage, while also standing as a gateway to the Marakele National Park – where elephants, rhinos, and vultures roam against the backdrop of the very mountains that gave the town its name.

RHINOS CHARGE INTO FINALS!

Setaria – Saturday, 23 August 2025, will be remembered as a day of triumph at Bosveldpark, when the Northam Platinum Rhinos proved their strength across the board. Playing on home soil in the Limpopo North Region semi-finals, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd teams each powered their way into the finals.

The Rhinos’ 3rd team opened the winning streak with a spirited performance against Noordelikes’ 3rd team, sealing a 41–21 victory. They now advance to face Louis Trichardt in the final. Not to be outdone, the 2nd team delivered a commanding performance against Potgietersrus, storming to an 80–0 win. Their reward? A finals clash, also against Louis Trichardt.

The 1st team then capped the day with a spectacular 87–3 victory over Noordelikes. With skill, pace, and precision, they sent a clear message: the Rhinos are charging full speed ahead. They, too, will face Louis Trichardt in the finals.

The stage is now set for an unforgettable showdown: Saturday, 30 August 2025, once again at Bosveldpark. Kick-off for the first match is at 15:00.

Assistant coach Flip de K**k said; “This was a true team effort – from players to supporters. The Rhinos are ready for the finals, and we’re calling on the community to come out and cheer us on!”
