  Those ten icons are part of Social Links menu on your site.

  To remove them,

  Go to Menus dashboard screen > Manage Location tab by clicking https://midrashact.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php?action=locations

  Remove the social links menu by removing the currently assigned Social Links menu. You can do this by selecting the first option (-Select a Menu-) in the dropdown box corresponding to Social Links.

  You can, however, fix it using the instructions in this support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/social-links-menu/

  All the links are set to your site’s pages like
  meltoncapetown.org
  http://meltoncapetown.org/about/
  etc. which is why ten instances of the same icon are appearing.

  If you follow the instructions in the above support guide and fix the urls to your social urls like twitter.com/your-twitter-handle, facebook.com/your-facebook-user-name etc. WordPress will automatically display the appropriate social icons.

  Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

  Make sure you click the blue Save Changes button after you remove Social Links menu from https://midrashact.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php?action=locations page.
