Vote for Karen as Mrs Universe Local bodybuilding and fitness enthusiast, Karen Gräbe is ready for a new challenge. Her brand new gymnasium, KG Fit Gym, will open its doors soon next to Crawdaddy’s at Terra Nova in Trichardt. It is actually more than a gymnasium, it will be a lifestyle centre that sells fitness products, clothing and more. In the meantime, she is also going through the last stages of preparing for the Mrs Universe Competition in Georgia in Europe. Karen will be flying to Georgia on 31 May to represent South Africa. She was diagnosed with Lupus five years ago, but she believes she is healed. This disease causes the body’s immune system to attack its own tissues and organs. Karen has a full life and also gives bootcamp classes every day. It started when people asked her to give them classes. These conversations usually start with: ‘I want to look like you.’ Since Karen started with these classes it has grown from seven people per class to about 25. She gets up at 03:00 every morning, exercises from 04:00 to 05:00, then goes to work at Sasol where she works as a team assistant and after work she is busy with bootcamp classes. The body building and fitness bug bit Karen after she started exercising for health reasons. She now motivates many women and also gives fitness and nutrition advice online. “I want to help women to reach their full potential. “I still also learn about fitness and the body every day,” said Karen. She finished among the Top 5 in the WBFF South Africa in a Bikini Fitness competition in 2015 and was chosen to represent the country at the WBFF World Championships in Las Vegas. One of the things she has to do in the Mrs Universe Competition is to perform a dance. Although this does not come naturally for Karen, she sees it as just another
challenge. Luckily her 15-year-old daughter, Elrize, helps her with that. “A friend of mine sends me a video of the dance, then my daughter has to learn it and then teach it to me,” said Karen. Karen attended the Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Arnold Classic Africa 2017 sports weekend in Johannesburg recently and supported local athletes who took part. May is Lupus Awareness Month and Karen will be using the opportunity in Georgia to create awareness. Her mother, Elize Pieterse will accompany her to Georgia. Karen thanked the public for all the support. You can still keep on voting for her until 3 June by visiting http://www. pageantvote. net/ pageants/ 1136/ contestants/ 9529? voted= true You can also follow her by liking her page on Facebook, KG Fit by Karen Gräbe. - Jana Oosthuizen

Operation KODIKO is ongoing
SOLAR SYSTEMS Glands
Govan Mbeki Municipality will now name and shame businesses owing them money for electricity. According to Bheki Khubeka, Acting Head of Marketing and Communications of Govan Mbeki Municipality, the municipality is still in the continuous drive to collect all the municipal debs through the mayoral operation called KODIKO (a SeSotho phrase meaning collecting debts). The municipality warns the community of its intention to name and shame all businesses which are failing to honour their municipal debt. “The municipality will have no choice but to name and shame them in the local newspapers and all media platforms while it initiates court procedures to ensure the recouping of all monies due,” said Bheki. “This is an ongoing effort to ensure that the financial situation of the municipality improves and the debt of Eskom is eradicated through the paying of municipal services by the community. “Defaulting businesses are therefore encouraged to come forward and pay their municipal accounts in order to avoid being named and shamed.”

This HIV/AIDS Community Support Initiative entails screening, testing, counselling and referral for treatment as well as promoting testing and adherence to treatment. Sasol pledge to collaborate with the
Department of Health on HIV/AIDS initiatives to support the achievement of the UNAIDS 90/90/90 target (the United Nations UN target) which was signed between the Department of Health, South African National AIDS Council and the South African Business Coalition on Health and AIDS. The UN target is for 90% of people to be tested for HIV, 90% of people living

Janete se dasse-kwilt maak haar ‘n wenner
Die Secunda Suikerbekkies het op Woensdag, 10 Mei vergader en ’n slypskool gehad waar hulle geleer het hoe om kolwyntjies te versier om soos diere te lyk. Hiér is Koekie Koekemoer. Die Suikerbekkies vergader weer op Woensdag, 14 Junie om 9:00 in Davieshof se saal. Vir meer inligting, skakel Venessa Erasmus by 082 824 0775.
Janete Bosman het verlede jaar Bernina se kompetisie om ’n kwilt te maak, gewen. Die tema vir die Bernina-kompetisie was om ’n Josefskleed te maak. Janete het daar en dan besluit om ’n kleurvolle kwilt wat 1.5cm by 1.5cm groot is van dasse te maak Janete het op Virginia in die Vrystaat grootgeword met ’n ma wat twee bruidswinkels gehad het en ’n ontwerper was. “My ma was baie betrokke by dieVLU en ons moes haar altyd help sale opmaak en met die kos voorberei,” het Janete gesê. “Sy het ook uitgestaan met haar blommerangskikkings en sy was ongelooflik kreatief.” Sy het twee jaar gelede, toe sy ná 26 jaar by Sasol waar sy as uitvoerende sekretaresse gewerk het, afgetree het, vir haar ’n Berninamasjien wat spesifiek kwilt-werk, deurstikwerk en borduurwerk doen,
gekoop. Sy leef nou haar kreatiwiteit uit. Sy het almal bedank wat dasse gegee het en in besonder vir Jolene de Beer van Laerskool Secunda en Erith Hall van die Secunda-VLU-tak. Dit het Janete drie maande geneem om die kwilt te maak. Janete het met haar wengeld ’n groter program vir haar rekenaar gekoop om borduurwerk te doen. Sy wil nou haar horisonne vebreed en kwiltbaadjies begin maak. “Dit is my begeerte om die mooiste kwiltbaadjies te ontwerp en te maak,” het Janete gesê. Verder hou Janete haar besig daarmee om aërobiese klasse aan te bied en lyndans-klasse. Sy en haar man, Hermann, het al aan lang afstand padfietswedrenne deelgeneem. “Ek wil graag vir die Here dankie sê vir al die geleenthede wat Hy al vir my as mens gegee het,” het Janete gesê. - Jana Oosthuizen

Secunda rally
19 May 2017
Come on... lets rally, Secunda! This weekend is rally time in Secunda as local businesses join hands with the National rally Commission to present the third Secunda rally. Rallying is one of the most exciting sports to watch. There are few sights more thrilling than a rally car being launched sideways through a corner with the driver in complete control or with all four wheels off the ground as it flies over a hump. Which is why rallying is so popular with spectators. But where to watch? The start (TriSec Autohous in Trichardt) is a good place to begin your weekend, but you need to plan your travels carefully if you wish to see a lot of the special stage action. The spectator guide in on pages 6 and 7 gives you the ideal spectator points identified with clear directions to reach them, including GPS details. Some useful tips for spectators: Park your car safely out of the way and well off the road. Always stand in a recommended, safe place and obey any marshal who asks you to move. Don’t turn your back on the rally cars or stand on the outsider of a corner.
Ensure you have an escape route should a rally car come straight at you out of control. The service park (at the Makoro on the south bank of Lake Umuzi) is a great place to see the cars and the crews up close, to chat to the competitors and to see the service crews in action. Try not to get in their way. Some spectator points are worth staying at to watch most of the field pass through, but following the action is more fun and requires careful planning. If you want to see the leading cars several times during the day, you have to leave the stage after the first six or eight cars so that you can reach the next stage in time to see them again. Check the estimated start time of the first competitor at each stage – information you will find the spectator guide. It’s worth subscribing to the NRC stage-by-state SMS results service to keep up to date with the progress of the rally and see how your favourites are doing. Some rallies have roving commentators in vans with loudspeakers. For more information, contact info@ sarallying.co.za

A Super special stage will be held at Janneman van der Merwe’s farm Holfontein on Saturday morning. This stage pits two competitors together, side by side over a sort of figure of eight course. Unlike other stages, crews are permitted to walk the stage in advance. It’s really a short circuit race and allows the rally drivers with circuit racing experience to show off a bit.

Enter the wheelchair rally A very new addition to the Oosterland Wieleskou this year will be the Adventure Wheelchair rally. Well-known personality Mathys Roets will join Hoërskool Oosterland in this event. Not only a well-known singer, but also a wheelchair bound adventurer, he will create awareness for wheel chair users. Oosterland is inviting normal walking people to get into a wheelchair and do a 500m challenge race that has been designed and approved by Mathys Roets. He will set the time for the rally and the teams will have to pursue his goal. A team of four will do a race and obstacle course. Oosterland will assist with wheelchairs. On Friday afternoon 26 May 15:00 the very eventful challenge will start and the teams will compete against each other. Participants or wheel chair users are more than welcome to contact organizer of the Wieleskou 2017, Liné de Vries on 017 6311091, if you need any information or want to enter the competition. There is still room for a few teams, but
they will have to register in advance. An R1000 entry fee per team is payable and this will be used in a fundraiser to buy a wheelchair to someone in need. The winning team can hand over the wheel chair on Friday night. All wheelchair users are invited to be guests at this event. On Saturday 27 May individuals may enter and see if they can beat Mathys Roets. This will be an outing not only to enjoy together with wheelchairusers, but get us all to think twice before parking on that yellow disabled parking again.
