Dullstroom toe onder sneeukombers
Groot gees weggeruk
Wyle mnr. Bart de Beer van Lydenburg.
Ettiënne Grobler het voluit sneeuman gebou Dinsdagoggend, ten spyte van die yskoue weer en yskoue sneeu. Die Longtompas was ’n onbeskryflike sprokieswêreld van sneeu en ys Dinsdagoggend. Almal het gestroom ‘berg toe’ om te gaan kyk, sommiges het vir die eerste keer in hul lewens sneeu gesien. Die laaste groot sneeu in Lydenburg-area was sowat agt jaar gelede. Nou kan ons ook sê, kyk ons sneeu. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerburo voorspel nog sneeu en ystoestande vir later hierdie week. Dullstroom was ook heeltemal toe onder die sneeu.

Mnr. Bart de Beer sal altyd onthou word vir sy omgee vir sy medemens en die feit dat hy voluit gelewe het om ander mense se lot te verlig. Hy het Maandag op die Dullstroompad, naby Walkersons, verongeluk, onderweg na ’n ongeluk. Hy is al vir etlike jare die bekendste nooddiens persoon en het altyd tyd gemaak om ander te help. Met ons ter perse gaan is sy begrafnisreëlings nog nie bekend gemaak nie. Hy laat sy vrou Johanette, seuntjie Bart en stiefseun Juan agter. Bart het gesterf in diens van die gemeenskap - op pad om iemand by ’n ongeluk te gaan help. Lydenburg sal hom mis.

Wrede aanval ’n Ongelooflike wrede aanval op ’n bejaarde dame het verlede week die dorp geruk van skok. Die dame, wat se naam weerhou word weens respek vir haar en haar familie, is bykans sewe keer met ’n mes gesteek en onsedelik aangerand. Die aanval het Donderdag omstreeks 21:00 plaasgevind. Die aanvaller was aan haar bekend asook aan die bure in die omgewing van die Laerskool Lydenburg. Die verdagte is dieselfde aand gearresteer. ’n Sekerheidsmaatskappy het hom gesien weghardloop. Die verdagte, bekend as ‘Lucky’ het haar herhaalde kere met ’n mes gesteek. Sy is gehaas na die Nelspruit Medi Clinic en is Vrydag geopereer vir die meswonde. Sy is oor die naweek ontslaan en daar word vermoed dat sy goed sal herstel. Die wreedheid van die aanval is opmerklik aangesien sy gereeld vir hom kos gegee het en hom gehelp het. Die dame is bekend as ’n vrygewige mens wat altyd haar medemens se nood verlig.

Helen Zille is a shining example!
Tyd gaan te vinnig. Dit draai om jou soos 'n mallemeule en jy kan nie stewig aan dit vashou nie. Dit glip en gly en tol en rol uit jou vingers. Jou hande is afgekap. Want tyd is nie iets wat vir jou wag nie. Iemand bekends, kan nie onthou wie nie, het gesê 'Moenie tyd verloor nie, want niemand gaan jou help soek nie.' Soveel belangrike gebeure, liewe mense, en dinge wat saakmaak is nie meer daar nie. Tyd het hulle van jou weggeneem. Gelukkig kan mens terugdink aan tye, goeie tye… waar alles nog was soos jy dit onthou. Ouers en familie wat daar was vir jou, vir wie jy mis. Want nou is dit net 'n herinnering. Dit maak my sommer wil huil as ek daaraan dink. Om dit te keer, kuier Hoorhiersô lesers eerder in die 'onthou' van Rosie. Sy was die eerste huishulp wat ek onthou. By Rosie het ek woorde gehoor wat ek laas in kinderboeke gesien het: 'Kooi toe,' het sy my beveel, ek haar met ronde oë staan en vergaap – g'n benul waarvan sy praat nie. Rosie het raad gegee, getroos, gepoets en gepoleer terwyl sy plesierig geneurie het. Met almal het sy gesels. Self die motorhawe het haar petrol op skuld gegee toe sy een oggend – op eie inisiatief – soontoe afgesit het met 'n paar 2-litermelkbottels toe dit blyk my motor se geneuk dui op niks meer as 'n leë tenk nie. Toe was ek al uit die skool uit. Rosie was klaar afgetree maar het nog elke week kom kyk hoe dit gaan. Drie jaar gelede, oor die lang naweek van 16 Desember, het ons saamgepak aan die mandjie wat moes saamgaan na haar familie: lakens, 'n paar bevrore hoenders, vars vrugte, 'n Kerskoek, lekkers en Krismisboks in 'n koevert. Ek het ook altyd ietsie spesiaal saamgebring van Potchefstroom as ek vir Universiteitsvakansie huistoe gekom het. Oor die jare het 'n wonderlike verhouding gegroei. Ek, eintlik 'n bogsnuiter en die 'miesies' se dogter het lief geraak vir Rosie. Die een oggend bel iemand, daar was 'n ongeluk duskant Sekukune. Die taxi waarin Rosie en haar man was, het teen 'n bus gebots. Altwee dood. Ek onthou hoe ek en Rosie kon sit en gesels oor verskille in godsdiens, die 'tjotsies', oor haar drome vir haar oudste seun, oor mense se wantroue in mekaar. 'n Tyd, dis al wat dit was. 'n Tyd waarin ek het haar geken het, haar gewaardeer het vir wie sy was. Dis hoekom tyd so kompleks is en die konsep van tyd my kop so laat draai. Dit is net die tyd wat heel sodat verskille later kan ooreenstem. Soos in Suid-Afrika. Die tyd wat ons wel tot ons beskikking het moet ons die moeite werd maak, verskille probeer oorkom en mekaar te probeer verstaan. Die jare na ons demokratiese verkiesing, waarin daar soveel geweld was, soveel godskreiende stories in die media, soveel verlies, is dit dalk nodig om stil te staan en te probeer raaksien hoeveel goedheid daar ook is. Net met die terugdink aan 'n tyd waar alles goed gevoel het sal alles begin sin maak. Soos Rosie en wie sy was.
DIE OUTOPPIE SE KOMMENTAAR
Engeland brand! GROOT Britanje brand. Die eens magtige Britse Ryk se nate kom los en sy onderbroek steek uit. Gedurende die afgelope paar weke het onluste die stad London en verskeie ander groot Britse stede erg geteister. Die vlam wat die kruitvat laat ontplof het, was glo hardhandige polisie optrede, of so iets. Wonder wat die Engelse sal maak as hulle die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens se hardhandige optrede ervaar? Seker hulle polse sny! Al hierdie rampokkery en onluste volg op ’n bankrot Europese ekonomie, werkskaarstes, armoede en ’n “hooligan” jeug. Die VSA is vrot van die skuld en natuurlik, soos ek nou die dag geskryf het, is daar ’n groot geraas in die meeste mense se koppe! Die
MJ Matemane writes: ANC insists on the Protection of Information Bill. This is because ANC politicians have a lot of things to hide. For example Limpopo is said to be one of the poorest provinces in the country. But it’s Premier is said to be the richest Premier in the country. What a contradiction. Other premiers own properties and shares as well as farms, plots and houses worth millions. They are busy flaunting
In Memoriam Mnr. Hennie Venter wat ‘n geliefde en bekende was in Lydenburg is op 3 A u g u s t u s 2 0 11 oorlede na ‘n siekbed van drie weke. Hy is in die hospital opgeneem vir hartversaking maar ’n beroerte het op die einde sy tol geëis. Volgens sy vrou Bets het hy rustig heengegaan- net soos hy gelewe het. Wyle mnr. Hennie Oom Hennie het Venter. homself en sy gesin in 1985 in Lydenburg kom vestig waar hy begin werk het as Meganiese Bestuurder van Lydenburg Voorspoed Kooperasie. Toe OTK in 1993 oorgeneem het, is hy daar weg om saam met sy seuns ’n verpakkingsfirma Venkor op die dorp te begin. In 2004 het hy na Middelburg verhuis. In 2006 het hy ’n erge beroerte gehad maar gelukkig ten volle daarvan herstel. In 2010 het hy en tannie Bets besluit om terug te keer na Lydenburg. Oom Hennie sal veral onthou word vir sy aandeel as Voorsitter van die Lydenburg Inwoners Vereniging en die afdruk wat hy gelaat het as afrigter en voorsitter van die Rooikatte Rugbyklub. Volgens Ockie Faul, Erepresident van die klub was dit vir hom ’n eer om by oom Hennie te kon oorneem as afrigter by Rooikatte en sal hy veral onthou word vir sy liefde vir rugby en spesifek sy liefde vir die dorpsklub. Volgens Frik Rousseau, Vryheidsfront Plus leier in Thaba Chweu onthou hy oom Hennie veral vir die tyd toe hulle saam gedien het op die komitee van die Lydenburg Inwonersvereniging. Oom Hennie was ook sy rugby-afrigter en het hy by hom baie geleer oor dié sport. Oom Hennie laat sy vrou, sy seuns Casper, Danie en Johan asook ’n dogter Jacomina en kleinkinders na.
I Korinthiërs 13:6 “Die liefde”... is nie bly oor die ongeregtigheid nie, maar is bly saam met die waardigheid. O n s v a d e r, v e rg e e f o n s o n s heethoofdigheid en laat ons geregtigheid nastreef - Amen.
oorgrote meerderheid is om dit sagkens te stel, heethoofdig en geestelik erg versteurd. Hulle is ook skynbaar verstandelik gestrem. Ek is nie baie simpatiek met hedendaagse regerings nie. Die onluste is ook nie rasgedrewe nie, maar daar is tog sulke ondertone. Engeland het sy deure destyds al oopgegooi vir al wat ’n vlugteling, reeksmoordenaar, pedofiel, bomplanter en enige ding van ’n vetkoek tot ’n geelslang. Regte, egte Britte is vandag in die minderheid in stede soos London. Die jonger geslag wil nie werk nie, leef op die “dole” en is vakbondgedrewe. En nou is die ingevoerde, swak geleerde, swak gedissiplineerde en vaardigheids-lose gespuis almal kwaad! Dit is ’n soortgelyke ding in Suid Afrika. Hier leef diverse nasies en kulture al vir meer as 400 jaar saam en ons kry die vrede en harmonie ding nog steeds nie reg nie, om dieselfde redes. Voeg daarby almal se totale liberale uitkyk, veral in die skole waar
their wealth while millions of poor South Africans are starving on the streets. But Helen Zille, on the contrary, is leading a remarkably frugal existence. She is leading by example. She does not loot money from her party. She travels economy class, she rents D class vehicles and uses a 2003 vehicle from the government garage pool as her official car. She and her husband share a 2001 Opel Corsa. This is an example worth emulating. To crown it all, Helen Zille went out of her way to buy a house for her servant who has worked for her for 17 years. Not just a house by name but a house worth R750 000. Remarkable! This should serve as a challenge to other premiers and the MEC’s as well as other politicians. We know of some MP’s who underpay their servants. MP’s who fail, deliberately, to pay UIF for their domestic servants. Not to mention those who pay their servants 5 days after the end of the month. Let others come forward and tell us what they have achieved! Zille is not a shark. Obviously, for Zille’s domestic worker to work for her for 17 years, is a clear indication that she is treating her in a humane way. Unlike those we know who hire and fire at random. Unlike those who treat their servants in an inhumane way. In conclusion, Helen Zille is a leader par excellence!
Huldeblyk Johannes Jacobus Coetser (Johan), gebore 19 Junie 1931 is oorlede. Eggenoot, pa, oupa en groot-oupa het ’n ryke vol lewe van oor die 80 jaar gehad en ons dank die Here vir Sy groot genade en liefde vir die tyd wat hy by ons was. Johan en Beth Coetser Wyle mnr. J.J. Coetser. het hulle as jong getroude paartjie in 1956 in Lydenburg gevestig en het hulle hele lewe hier gebou. Johan was meer as 21 jaar by die gevangenisdiens werksaam en het later as sakeman in die dorp diep spore getrap. Hy en Beth tree later af op die familie plaas in Badfontein. Hy laat sy vrou Beth, 4 kinders, 9 kleinkinders en 5 agterkleinkinders agter. Hy het die 5de Aug stil heengegaan en is begrawe op die plaas, waarna ’n herdenkings diens by die Lydenburg Baptiste kerk gehou is. Ons gaan hom mis, maar weet dat God se plan onfeilbaar is! Namens die familie wil ons graag al die vriende en familie bedank vir die bystand gedurende pa se siekbed en afterwe. Sonder uitsondering, maar spesefieke verwysing na die Badfontein gemeenskap en bure, Sister Chrissie Riekert en Vivian van der Walt vir hulle onvoorwaardelike liefde en bystand. Sister Judy Venter vir die hulp en gerustellende gees teenoor ons ma in die laaste paar weke. Ds. Kallie Fourie en sy vrou Marie. Pick & Pay personnel en in besonder Dollie vir hulle deurlopende bystand, belanstelling en liefde asook die baie bedagsame gebaar met die eetgoed na die begrafnis.
geen dissipline meer toegepas word nie. Hulle glo nie in ’n goeie pak slae vir stout kinders nie. Hulle onderwysstelses stort in duie. En hier by ons volg die hopelose ANC regering hierdie pragtige liberale en humanistiese model. Geen dissipline nie. Geen lyfstraf nie. Geen doodstraf vir moordenaars en verkragters nie. Ongelukkig is dit te laat vir die ANC om te leer. Hierdie gemors is ’n wêreldwye fenomeen. Die ANC is in werklikheid in nog groter moeilikheid, soos reeds deur Thabo Mbeki se intelligente broer uitgewys is. Hulle is rewolusionêre klipgooiers en rommelstrooiers, sonder enige bestuurs of administratiewe kundigheid en ervaring. Alles stort in duie. Onderwys, natuurbewaring, gesondheid, munisipaliteite en elke ding. Maar hulle wil meer geld hê! In my tyd was die grensoorlog effe riskant, maar ek dink om vandag ’n staatsamptenaar te wees is ’n groter risiko. Hulle eie mense, die gepeupel, gaan hulle in die strate afslag oor hulle onbeholpenheid, korrupsie en stropery. Leer uit die geskiedenis en uit ander se foute mense!

Eish! Municipal workers littered the streets of Lydenburg as part of the strike on Monday. Basic services were disrupted and the strikers went out of their way to throw everything around. It still remains a huge question why they litter the streets if they have to clean it up again. ~ Michelle Boshoff

MTPA Staking vir eers op ys ALHOEWEL die staking van die Mpumalanga Toerisme en Parke Agentskap (MTPA) vir eers opgeskort is, is daar nog verskeie aspekte wat krap en is dit nou in die hande van Premier David Mabuza wat 21 dae het om daaraan aandag te gee. Lede van NEHAWU het gestaak as gevolg van salarisverhogings, bystandskostes en behuisingsubsidies. Ten spyte van die feit dat hul eise nie ten volle geslaag het nie, is daar wel ooreengekom op 'n 7,5% salarisverhoging, R800 bystandfooi en R1000 behuisingsubsidie – terugwerkend vanaf 1 April 2011. Die twee weke lange staking het egter groot skade aan die toerismebedryf in Mpumalanga gerig. Toergroepe in busse is met klippe gegooi, hekke by verskeie oorde was gesluit en diere wat nie na omgesien is nie het van die honger en dors gevrek. Volgens mnr Norman Mokoena, (LUR) van onder andere Toerisme, rus Mpumalanga se ekonomie op die skouers van 5 pilare: Toerisme, Landbou, ontwikkelling, Energie en Mynwese. Die pilare is besig om in mekaar te tuimel en is daar derhalwe 'n dringende beroep gedoen op die Premier om binne 21 dae aandag te gee aan verskeie faktore. Dit is Vrydag 12 Augustus, in 'n memorandum wat aan hom gerig is, uiteengesit. Hierdie memorandum is in Mbombela tydens 'n optog na die premierskantoor deur LUR Candith Mashego-Dlamini, in ontvangs geneem. By navraag of die Premier daaraan aandag sal kan gee binne die 21 dae spertyd, het regeringswoordvoerder Lebona Mosia gesê dat geen kommentaar gelewer kan word alvorens hy met die Premier ontmoet het nie. Hy het egter gesê dat die werkers gestaak het omdat hulle glo dat die MTPA nie kan bekostig om hulle te betaal
nie, en dat hul glo die organisasie bankrot is. “MPTA het baie geld. Wat hul lamlê is die wanbestuur van fondse wat hul ontvang van die regering”, het hy gesê. Volgens hom eis werkers van MTPA ook dat Mnr Charles Ndabeni, Hoof Uitvoerende Beampte, verwyder word uit hierdie pos. Dat hy waarskynlik die rede is dat die MTPA sistematies en aspris gesmoor word. Ten spyte van die feit dat hoogs gekwalifiseerde natuurbewaarders en wetenskaplikes hier werksaam is, word daar nie begroot om hierdie belangrike werk te kan doen nie. 90% Van die totale begroting van die MTPA word gebruik vir salarisse. Die verdere 10% kan onmoontlik genoeg wees om te betaal vir Fauna en Flora, elektrisiteit, telefone, brandstof, die instandhouding van voertuie, voer vir diere of teelprogramme nie. Dan is daar nog verskeie andere faktore wat nie eens genoem is nie Uit 'n e-pos wat Nomcebo Malatjie wat MTPA aan NEHAWU gerig het, het die staking onherstelbare skade gerig aan beide die provinsie en ons land, veral in 'n tyd waar meer buitelandse inkomste noodsaaklik is, dat ons meer beleggers moet werf en dat toeriste ons provinsie moet besoek. Berigte dat die Visserye op Lydenburg gaan toemaak, kon nie bevestig word nie. Dit is egter vanselfsprekend dat hierdie afdeling van MTPA dringende aandag moet kry. Werkers het egter hier en ook by die Ohrigstaddam en Sterkspruit Natuurreservaat naby Lydenburg begin werk. Die hoofnatuurbewaaarder van die Visserye, mnr Frik Rousseau het alle navrae na die hoofkantoor in Nelspruit verwys. ~ Ilze Venter

For those of you that do not know where to find the Club, it is situated on the R36 only a few kilometers outside Steelpoort.

What will the new Land Rover Defender look like? LAND Rover's archaic but iconic Defender is set to be replaced soon but the company is not entirely sure which direction the new 4x4 should take. That's why they're planning to reveal a concept vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, according to Autocar. The production model is reportedly due around 2015. The show car will give the world a glimpse of what Land Rover has in mind for the Defender's replacement and basically allow the public to determine whether the company is on the right track with its idea of a modernized bundu basher. In an interview with Autocar, Land Rover's brand director John Edwards admitted that he cannot imagine the company not producing a successor to the Defender, but that they would not be able to compete with mainstream 4x4s on price so the end product would have to be desirable enough to its target market to command a premium. Land Rover has yet to decide whether to create a unique new chassis for the Defender or whether to simplify the underpinnings of the current Discovery but either way, Land Rover knows that it still needs to be simple enough to repair in remote areas and tough enough for the needs of military operations. iol.motoring.
Pictured above is the current LR Defender. The new model is still cloaked in secrecy.

KTM 125 mini-Duke IF you have a teenager dead keen on bikes then they are bound to hound you with brochures of KTM South Africa’s latest release, the 125cc Duke. As a naked street bike as opposed to a rugged motocross machine (KTM’s usual fare), the mini-Duke is simply a teenager's dream and probably the most desirable new motorcycle addition to the 125cc class for quite some time. Debuted at the Intermot show (in Cologne, Germany, in October), the mini-Duke is KTM’s first 125cc street bike and quite a departure for the Austrian brand. Why the switch to producing a small-capacity road bike? In essence: emerging market funding. KTM’s received a wad of cash from Indian investor Baja and some advice concerning the company’s product portfolio allegedly came as a package deal with the investment. To this end the 125 Duke has been configured to be the ultimate urban runabout. Housed in its chromoly trellis frame (with steel supports) is a 125cc liquid-cooled and fuel-injected engine producing 11kW and 15Nm driving the rear wheel through a six-speed transmission. Those output statistics may sound a trifle underwhelming, yet the mini-Duke weighs a scant 127kg. Suspension is by long-time KTM partner WP and includes an inverted 43mm fork up front, trailed by a rear shock. Both WP items allow 150mm of travel – perfect for those impromptu pavementnavigating detours. The mini-Duke’s brakes are substantial enough to effortlessly decelerate its frame momentum, the obligatory Brembo rotors (front and rear) measure 280mm and 230mm in diameter. With an easily accessible seat height of 81cm, 184mm of ground clearance a 1.35m wheelbase and 65-degree steering head angle, the mini-Duke’s configuration and dimensions are perfect for novice teenager riders, or those seeking an easy to manoeuvre naked urban street bike. With a rear pin-joint swingarm (mirroring the 690 Duke’s design) and similar outer tube fork diameter to KTM RC8 R superbike, the miniDuke’s ride and handling characteristics should provide the best of both worlds – offering comfort and stability, whilst retaining an agility crucial to the appeal of 125cc naked bikes. The mini-Duke’s 11-litre tank, KTM claims, yields an operational range of 300km. That equates to an economical 3.6 litres / 100km, rather important when you're 16-years old and on a budget. With the spring / summer riding season approaching, expect to be confronted by a host of hints (and brochures) about KTM's new 125 by your teen to justify what a good investment it is at R38 999.

It's also worth noting that although we did our best to find the overseas models that most closely match the specification levels of the local cars in question, there are slight discrepancies in some cases.

SOUTH African car prices. I bet that phrase does anything but fill your heart with warm and fuzzy feelings, judging by the avalanche of heated comments that we find at the end of some articles. Well, we've decided to investigate the state of car prices in South Africa by taking a wide sample of cars and comparing our prices with those in the UK and Germany. Let's start off with a little disclaimer here as there are many factors that determine what we pay for our cars. Import duties are a huge factor and CO2 taxes must be considered too. Currently new cars imported into South Africa are slapped with a 36 percent customs duty and even the ones that are built here use imported components, which are also taxed. In Europe, import duties do not apply to cars that are imported from within the European Union, but the sales tax imposed on new cars is still rather steep in the two countries that we sampled. Britons, for instance, pay 20 percent VAT while the German tax is pegged at 19 percent - in South Africa we get away with just 14 percent. You'll find our full list of car price comparisons below the article but there are some that really warrant mentioning here. The biggest price discrepancy we came across was the Porsche 911 Turbo, which costs R2 033 000 in South Africa - very steep considering that buyers in the UK can have one for R1 240 110. Others, like the Audi A1, Lexus CT200h, Mini One and Renault Twingo RS Gordini also seem comparatively expensive on our shores. Also disappointing is that the locally-made Mercedes-Benz C180 costs between R40K and R70K more than it does overseas and there's also an uncomfortable discrepancy with the other local product, the VW Polo GTI. The general feeling we're left with is that South African cars are still too expensive in most cases. There is good news on some fronts, however, with the Indian-built Nissan Micra 1.2 Visia actually being marginally cheaper than it is in the UK, while Kia's new Picanto is not far off the mark. When converting these international prices into rands, we decided not to use the latest exchange rate as the market crashes of the past few days has sent our currency into a flat spin and the figures would seem rather skewed. Instead, we used the exchange rate of the previous Friday, 5 August, as those numbers will be far closer to the figures that the car companies used when determining the current car prices. On that note, if the current market volatility continues and the rand does not recover in the short term we can all expect some rather steep car price rises before the end of the Ed: From the above, it seems as if SA consumers are being ripped off, except in the case of the Nissan Micra, which seems to be true value for money, in year. Think South African cars are expensive now? This could be just the beginning. comparison with global markets. For the record, the prices below were calculated at an exchange rate of R11.25 to the

Supercharged Nissan triple! NISSAN’s popular Micra has always been a frugal little hatchback, especially the diesel variant. Now the Japanese automaker will launch a low-emissions petrol model called the DIG-S. The car has a 72kW, 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, supercharged petrol engine and will be available in three spec levels ranging from the entry-level Visia through the ascending specced Acenta and Tekna models. The new engine has a claimed fuel consumption figure of 4.3 litres / 100km (combined cycle) and emits only 95g / km of carbon dioxide (Visia) and 99g / km (Acenta and Tekna). The engine achieves the improvements in power and economy through a series of measures to improve efficiency. Direct injection, valve timing control with eco mode, improved exhaust gas recirculation, special pistons and a higher compression ratio ensure the engine is as fuel-efficient as possible. Energy is saved by using an intelligent alternator which recharges the battery when the engine power is not in demand, such as under braking. The DIG-S is equipped with a stop / start feature to reduce emissions and fuel consumption by automatically turning off the engine while stationary and restarting once you’re ready to move off. The engine is mated to a either a five-speed manual or a constantly variable automatic transmission. The DIG-S will be launched in the UK in September 2011. No word yet on whether the super-sipper will be available in South Africa. Wheels24.co.za
The supercharged 1.2-litre Nissan Micra should reach SA soon in all three specification models

Wankel’s future uncertain GERMAN engineer Felix Wankel came up with the idea of an internal combustion engine with a three-sided rotor rather than reciprocating pistons way back in 1929, but it took him until 1951 to get NSU interested in the concept. The first engine ran in 1957 and the first rotary-powered car, the NSU Spider, went on sale in 1964, followed by the NSU Ro80 and the Mazda Cosmo 110S in 1967. Early problems with premature seal wear were quickly solved and it seemed as if the compact, smooth-running rotary - simpler and more powerful than a piston engine double its size - was the engine of the future. Everybody scrambled on to the rotary bandwagon; they powered motorcycles (Norton, Suzuki, Hercules and Van Veen) snowmobiles (Arctic Cat), aircraft (Curtiss-Wright, Diamond) and tractors (John Deere). Even Roll-Royce experimented with a two-stage diesel rotary engine. But a rotary is not as clean-burning as a four-stroke piston engine and uses more fuel to make the same power. The 1973 oil crisis and new emissions regulations suddenly made the Wankel engine less attractive. GM found that, kilowatt for kilowatt, rotaries were more expensive to make than conventional engines and by 1990, the only manufacturer still selling Wankel-engined cars was Mazda, which felt that the rotary fitted perfectly with its “zoom-zoom” marketing strategy. The RX-8 coupé, its Renesis rotary able to (just) meet current emissions standards thanks to improved port design, was introduced in 2004 and remains Mazda's only rotary model. But the RX-8 will be discontinued at the end of this year, and product planning and development boss Kiyoshi Fujiwara has admitted there is fierce debate at Mazda about the future of rotary development. There was a next-generation rotary under development for release in 2017, according to Ward's Auto, but the programme has been halted and corporate bean-counters, looking for ways to cut costs in the wake of the recession, are considering axing rotary development altogether. But Fujiwara insists the technology is a part of Mazda's DNA, and that Mazda has already solved two of the rotary's three big problems, although he wouldn't give details. He said recently: “Rotary engines literally are part of our soul.” However, there may be a way out - in an electric car. Rotary engines are at their most efficient running at constant speed and load; that, together with their compact size and smooth, quiet power delivery, makes them ideal as the power generator for an extended-range electric vehicle such as the Chevrolet Volt. The Volt uses a 1.4-litre piston engine to generate power for its electric drivetrain, and that's something a rotary could do even better, according to Mazda US vice-president Robert Davis. “If you build a rotary that's tuned to a very specific load and rpm,” he said, “it runs very efficiently. Certainly, we've looked at that.” According to Ward's, he's not the only one. Audi, with the help of AVL Powertrain Engineering is reportedly considering using a rotary in an extended-range battery car, mostly because conventional engines are simply too bulky. iol.co.za

Women in Mining Longtom Nissan beplan laaaang Samancor Eastern Chrome Mines (ECM) is dedicated and committed to Women in Mining. ECM currently employ 280 women in positions right across the value chain of the business. Women account for 15% of the total workforce (which is much higher than the required target set in the Mining Charter of 10%). Women’s Day is a special occasion whereby the ladies of ECM are recognized for their contribution to the business, and had the opportunity to celebrate their gender. A very special day for the ladies was hosted by ECM and the Winterveld Recreational Club hall was turned into a spectacular sight. At first the ladies were motivated by Loraine Mphahlele, who is a professional entrepreneur and the founder and Executive Director of Investments for African Women Holdings, to inspire and achieve their full potential. She highlighted to the ladies that they have a special gift of nurturing which forms part of a women’s make up, and that ladies should bring that special gift to the workplace to develop ideas, give life to new things, and to incubate ideas and implement them. She used an example of a lady who put five children through University by selling tomatoes. After her inspiring talk, the ladies were entertained by the handsome Riba Cross Timers. The ladies thoroughly enjoyed the choir’s charm. Then the Riba Cross Civil Society Youth Choir energised the audience with their vibrant singing. Last but not least the ladies enjoyed a special lunch. As the ladies left the celebration, the words of Loraine Mphahahlele stayed with them when they remembered her saying: “Give a woman a house, and she makes it a home”.
wasgoedlyn vir liefdadigheid
LONGTOM Nissan se langste wasgoedlyn! Longtom Nissan, Lydenburg met mnr. Fred Zeeman aan die stuur, het met ’n uitstekende inisiatief vorendag gekom vir hul Nasionale Nissan Dag, wat fondsinsameling (klerasie) vir die behoeftiges in ons kontrei betref. “Ons het met die hulp van Mnr John Roos (Verkeershoof) en sy span gereel dat ons op 3 September 2011 ’n 1km lange wasgoedlyn in die middelman van Viljoenstraat gaan span (deurhoogte van voertuie) sodat jy in daardie laan gaan ry en kan stop en jou “wasgoed” ophang. Ons gaan die wasgoedlyn dan vanaf die stopstraat by Longtom Nissan tot by die robot van die Versekeringsforum span. Die “wasgoed” behels dan enige ou
klere, linne, komberse, handdoeke, gordyne – in kort: die gewone wat jy op ’n wasgoedlyn hang maar nie meer tuis gebruik daarvoor het nie.”Al die besighede, skole en myne word genooi om deel te hê in die pretdag waar hulle dan hul besigheid kan bemark en hul deel van die wasgoedlyn beman. Vir enige navrae kontak Dicky Roux by Longtom Nissan te 013 235 2381.

Diere het ’n plekkie in die son
Diereliefhebber skryf: Ek as GROOT diere liefhebber, is geweldig geskok oor die artikel waar diere afgegooi word deur die diere klinieke. Mens betaal vreeslik baie om jou hond / kat te laat begrawe of veras deur die veeartse en aanvaar in jou hartseer toestand dat hulle in goeder trou jou honde kind sal begrawe omdat jy nie kan of plek het nie. Dit is met groot skok dat ek nou moet sien dat my geliefde honde kind dalk vir 'n paar maade daar gelê het en deur ander roofdiere opgeëet is. Waar was die diereklinieke en hoekom het hulle nie die Munisipaliteit gemonitor dat die diere wel begrawe is, al was dit die Munisipaliteit se verantwoordelikheid. Hierdie situasie veroorsaak groot afbreek aan die vertroue wat ons in die diereklinieke plaas met die afsterwe van ons honde / kat kinders en ook ander diere.

VACANCIES
ME. Mathilda Nel en me. Elmahrie Gouws is twee opgeleide onderwyseresse wat saam 52 jaar ondervinding in die opvoedkunde en onderrig van kleuters het. By Klopkloppie Kleuterskool is die personeel deeglik bewus van die feit dat kinders deur beweging leer en dat die kind se brein voorkeur verleen aan inligting wat deur beweging ingesamel word. Daarom bestaan ’n baie groot deel van hul dagprogram uit vrybeweging, vryspel en beplande bewegingsaktiwiteite. Mathilda, wat haar B. Ed Pre-Primêre graad verwerf het, maak steeds ’n studie van die nuutste inligting en gee gereeld opleidingsessies aan die personeel. ’n Kleuter / kind wat deur haar hande is, sal kan getuig van die liefde wat sy vir kinders het. Elmahrie, studeer tans onder dr. Elsie Calitz, verbonde aan die Centurion Akademie. Aanvullend tot hul daaglikse program maak hulle ook met groot sukses reeds gebruik van die nuutste Mind Moves navorsing. Op 30 Julie het sewe van die Klopkloppie Kleuterskool se personeellede ’n kursus op Middelburg bygewoon, wat aangebied was deur die SAOU. Tydens hierdie kursus is die ontwikkeling van die vestibulêre stelsel deur middel van beweging en musiek bespreek. Die verskil tussen graad R en graad een is ook duidelik uiteengesit. Mathilda en Elmahrie is ’n gedugte graad R onderrigspan wat goed opgelei is in die ontwikkeling en werking van die brein.

Rooikat 2de span wen Laeveld liga
DIE Rooikat 2de span onder leiding van Renier Ferreira het onoorwonne deur die Laeveld liga gegaan en Saterdag, 13 Augustus in die finaal teen Riverside die liga gewen. Dit was ’n harde 1ste helfte, met ’n rustyd telling van 7 - 0. Na harde woorde van Renier Ferriera, het die Rooikat span
met oorgawe ingeklim en die wedstryd in hul guns beklink met 24 punte teenoor 0. Uitblinkers was Renier Ferriera, Anton Edwards, Jean Van Zyl, Johan Oosthuizen en Gerhard Fullard. Die Iste span wat ook in die finaal gespeel het teen Riverside 1ste span, was egter nie so gelukkig nie en moes die onderspit delf, alhoewel die Rooikatte alle fasette in die voorspelers
oorheers het, kon hulle dit net nie afrond met drieë nie. Die eindtelling was 31 / 14 vir Riverside. Voorsitter van Rooikatte, Maurice Bezant, sê dat alhoewel die 1ste span verloor het, dit vir hom verblydend is om te sien hoe die jong talent deurkom by die klub. Volgende jaar sal die Rooikatte wel ’n faktor in die 1ste liga wees.
