Nuwe hoofLanddros vir Lydenburg
Die nuwe Landdros van Lydenburg is op 2 April amptelik aan die personeel en regsverteenwoordigers voorgestel. Me. L.D.Vukeya is nou amptelik aangestel in die plek van Mr. Mulder
Plaaslike ondersteuning vir besighede onder die loep DIE volgende brief oor plaaslike ondersteuning het ons aan die dink gesit: WAT het geword van plaaslike ondersteuning? Ons is ’n plaaslike besigheid wat plaaslik ondersteun. Ons kinders gaan hier skool, ons huur plaaslik en koop maandeliks ons inkopies plaaslik. Ons is deel van die besigheidskamer en doen ons deel vir plaaslike gemeenskapsbydraes. Die koerante is daagliks vol van die nuwe ontwikkelinge in ons area waarvan die myne die grootste bydrae daartoe lewer. Wat het geword van plaaslike (lokale) ondersteuning? Bouprojekte word toegeken aan kontrakteurs van die stede wat hulle eie werkers hierheen bring en so ook hulle eie materiaal. Ons is een van ten minste vyf besighede wat hierdie materiale kan voorsien teen dieselfde kwaliteit, diens en prys. Ons kan verstaan as ons die besigheid verloor teen een van ons eie plaaslike besighede – maar nou kry nie een van ons eers die kans om te kwoteer nie. Die myne moet tog maar ’n draai deur die dorp ry en sien hoeveel besighede alreeds toegemaak het a.g.v geen ondersteuning nie. Ons bestaan hang af van jou ondersteuning. Ons wil ook net graag die gemeenskap en die myn wat wel van ons gebruik maak bedank vir hulle ondersteuning. Besoek gerus ons webtuiste by highlandspanorama.co.za of ons Facebook bladsy, waar jy die koerant enige tyd op jou skootrekenaar of slimfoon kan lees.
DIE argument hier langsaan hou baie water en is geldig. Ons hier in Lydenburg / Burgersfort / Steelpoort en Dullstroom behoort ons plaaslike besighede te ondersteun. Dit is goed vir ons eie ekonomiese voortbestaan as ons met mekaar besigheid doen. Ons kan nie vir elke hik wat die wêreldekonomie gee skrik en weghol nie. Ons moet mekaar ondersteun. Maar dit gebeur nie. Ons ry vir die geringste Nelspruit toe of Middelburg toe, want daar is ’n Game, ’n Makro en ’n Builders Warehouse. ’n Goeie vriend van my en Lydenburger doen 90% van sy besigheid in Nelspruit. Van trekkers, motorfietse, kragsae tot kruideniersware en dienste op voertuie. Waarom? Ons het die saak ondersoek en baie vrae gevra. Die antwoorde is elke keer dieselfde: (1) Die dinge wat ons soek is eenvoudig nie plaaslik beskikbaar nie. Of dit nou ’n behoorlike kussing, kamera of iPod is, almal kan “bestel”, maar niemand het voorraad nie. (2) Dit wat wel beskikbaar is, is peperduur. Ja, ons kan seker nie met die groot kettingwinkels kompeteer nie, maar wanneer die item wat jy soek, tesame met die petrolgeld Nelspruit toe en terug, nog goedkoper anderkant die berg is, is daar plaaslik fout. (3) Miskien die grootste rede van almal: Swak diens. Met die uitsondering van minder as ’n handjievol besighede in Lydenburg, is die diens baie swak. Meeste respondente voel so. Verkoopspersoneel is oor die algemeen bot, onvriendelik en suur. Eienaars en bestuurders van besighede luister selde na jou klagtes of steur hulle bloot nie daaraan nie. Meeste mense is bereid om bietjie meer plaaslik te betaal, maar hulle vereis almal flink, vriendelike en puik diens. Andre Coetzee.

Huldeblyk - Gert Stoltz GERT STOLTZ, bekende oud onderwyser, boer, natuurbewaarder en kranige avontuur motorfietsryer is laasweek hier in die ouderdom van 68 jaar oorlede. Gert het diep spore getrap in die omgewing en was betrokke by die luiperd projek op die omliggende plase. Hy het ook die hele land vol getoer met sy avontuurmotorfiets en het gereeld stories geskryf oor die wedervaringe, wat in die motorfietstydskrif Woema gepubliseer is. Gert het op Volksrust gematrikuleer en by die PU vir CHO, BA tale (Afrikaans en Engels) met Honneurs in Engels, bestudeer. Hy was ’n letterkundige by uitnemendheid vanaf Herman Charles Bosman tot Shakespeare. Hy het op Standerton en Lydenburg Engels gegee en was Departementshoof Engels by die Pretoriase Onderwyskollege. Hy het ook by die Nasionale Intelligensiediens gewerk en het vanaf 1994 op die plase Roodewalshoek en Beetgekraal met Bonsmara beeste geboer. Gert sal onthou word vir die liefde vir tale wat hy by leerders aangekweek het. Hy was ’n uitmuntende sportman, Comrades hardloper, fietsryer, sportafrigter en het ’n fyn sin vir humor gehad. As begaafde musikant het hy ook skoolkore en kadetorkeste afgerig. Gert se liefde vir motorfietse was alom bekend. Sy eerste fiets was volgens Liesbeth ’n olierige ou Norton wat hy as student gery het en daar is ’n vraghouer vol Beemers op die plaas. Gert het die laaste tyd geveg teen en uiteindelik die styd teen kanker verloor. Hy sal gewis gemis word en sy begrafnis het plaasgevind op Dinsdag 17 April vanuit die NG Kerk Suid in Lydenburg, met huldeblyke deur Lambert Van Der Nest. Wyle Gert Stoltz laat sy eggenote Liesbeth en seun Conrad, agter. Mag jy nou nou nog mooier paaie ry Gert. Die Highlands Panorama span.

Gifappel kwaad oor rommel Marius Meyer (G.I.F. Appel) skryf: Graag wil ek net onder die gemeenskap van Lydenburg se aandag bring dat hier ook ’n skelm, lafhartige, agterbakse imbesiel in die dorp bly. Vermoedelik het hy garage en tuin skoongemaak en toe sy gemors langs die pad gegooi. ’n Skelm is hy defnitief want hierdie agterbakse daad sou hy/sy nie in die dag gedoen het nie, so dit was in die donkerte want hy/sy is bang iemand sien sy daad. Wonder of sy familie baie trots op hom is, of is hulle net so sleg? ’n Verstandlose is hy/sy defnitief, want geen persoon met verstand doen sulke goed nie, hy is ook te lafhartig om na vore te kom en sy gemors op te tel en dit te gaan gooi waar dit hoort. Foto geneem 11 April 2012, na ’n ander bobbejaan ook daar was. Hierdie gemors lê ongeveer 50 meter vanaf die teerpad op die Weltevrede-grondpad wat ook in ’n gemors toestand is. Jy kan bly wees ek het jou nie gesien nie!

Pieter Mulder, leier van die VF+ skryf oor straatname DA, ANC TOKKEL SELFDE NAAM-KITAAR Is die ANC en die DA straatnaamveranderingsbeleide dieselfde? In Pretoria stel die ANC voor dat die bekende Jacob Marestraat na Jeff Masemolastraat verander word. In Kaapstad stel die DA voor dat die bekende Willie van Schoorrylaan na Jeff Masemolarylaan verander word. Jacob Mare was lid van Paul Kruger se uitvoerende raad of Kabinet en het so 'n bydrae tot die ontwikkeling van Pretoria `gelewer voor 1900. Deur sy straatnaam te skrap trek die ANC 'n streep deur sy bydrae. Wille van Schoor was 'n raadslid wat 'n groot rol gespeel het in die ontwikkeling van die Kaapse metro. Deur sy straatnaam te skrap trek die DA 'n streep deur sy bydrae. Wie was Jeff Masemola en watter bydrae het hy gelewer? Hy was 'n PAC - leier wat van die ANC weggebreek het toe dié in 1959 besluit het om ook witmense in die ANC toe te laat. Hy was gekant teen hierdie nierassistiese benadering. Daarna is hy in die hoofgeregshof in Pretoria daaraan skuldig bevind dat hy deel was van 'n sabotasieplan om wit mense in Pretoria dood te maak. In Kaapstad stel die DA hierdie naamsverandering voor en in Pretoria bly hy buite stemming sodat dit kan deurgaan. Dan is kiesers reg as hulle beweer dat die ANC en die "nuwe" DA oor al hoe meer sake dieselfde raak. In Kaapstad het die VF+ dit ondersteun dat die Oostelike Verbypad na Nelson Mandela genoem word. Daar is baie sulke nuwe strate wat die ANC en DA kan gebruik om na hul helde te noem, maar moenie die bydrae van mense in die verlede misken en die geskiedenis met naamsverandering probeer verander nie.

WALTER and Yvonne Webber (nee Erasmus) celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary on 5th April this year. They have lived in the Waterfall River Valley for the past 19 years on the property of their daughter, and son-in law - Lyn and Peter Esser. Wally first set eyes on Yvonne when she was just six days old. They were next-door neighbours in Krugersdorp. Of course, at that stage he wasn't too impressed! Yvonne's family subsequently moved away and they lost contact. 18 Years later, Wally – a keen cyclist – noticed an attractive spectator at their races – who turned out to be his long-lost neighbour! The spark of romance was ignited, and the rest – as they say – is history! The couple celebrated this special event with their daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and their spouses, and greatgrandchildren, at Lepelle Lodge, in the Valley.
Handelinge 19:32 - Hulle het dan aangehou skreeu, sommige dit en ander dat, want die vergadering was in die war, en die meeste het nie geweet waarvoor hulle bymekaar gekom het nie. Vader, dit klink soos vandag se deurmekaar wêreld. Bring vir ons orde asseblief - Amen.
DIE OUTOPPIE SE KOMMENTAAR
DEURMEKAAR JA, ons leef regtig in ’n erg deurmekaar wêreld. Die Spanjaarde is glo erg die josie in oor hulle koning, Juan Carlos, in Botswana kom jag het. Hoekom? Gun tog elke outjie sy plesiertjie, insluitend lekker wildsbiltong! In Kaapstad is die nuutgeboude Groenpunt stadion, wat vir die sokkerwêreldbeker gebou was, se dak besig om los te kom. Seker ’n lekker vet tender gewees sonder
gehaltebeheer. As jy nou opspring en skree STORMERS, neuk die dak dalk op jou kop in! Laat dit vir jou ’n les wees! Minister Manyi wil ook nou alle regeringsadvertensies beheer. Hierdie multimiljoen rand bedryf land waarskynlik in die verkeerde sakke. Nie dat ons hier by die Highlands Panorama Nuus iets uit die koek kry nie. Mpumalanga se provinsiale regering spandeer jaarliks R 5 miljoen op advertensies in die provinsie. Ons het probeer om net 1% hiervan te kry, maar nee, niks nie. Ons was nie bereid om ietsie onder die tafel deur te stoot nie.
volgende besighede en persone wat ons geborg het, asook geskenke en geskenkbewyse gegee het vir ons gholfdag op Saterdag 31 Maart. U het die dag vir ons moontlik gemaak. Baie dankie.

Malema se ondersteuners het besluit die ANC se moer, hy bly hulle leier. Mooi man, die ANC het die saadjies hiervoor gesaai en nou is hulle onthuts met die opstandige mannetjie. Kry vir julle! En die Prez trou met vrou nommer sewe. Hy is ’n yster! Meeste van my maters kan kwalik een vrou gelukkig hou! Dié naweek het baie Lydenburgers met warmgemaakte (lees af “exhaust”) 1300 Golfies ook gedink hulle is kranige tydrenjaers en die dorp geterroriseer. En dan is daar natuurlik die jongman met die V8 Jeep wat so raas! Ja, die wêreld is sleg deurmekaar.

DA wants Police spokesman fired POLICE spokesman must be fired for his comments 13 April 2013 Mpumalanga police spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Leonard Hlathi is not only arrogant, but his insensitive comments over the escalation of brutal attacks in the Hazyview area are an embarrassment to the SAPS, and he should be fired immediately. Following yet another robbery at a guest house in the area, Hlathi was quoted in Beeld newspaper that “there is no crisis in Hazyview or anywhere else, and that regular patrols are being done”. He also added that “local businessmen and tourism establishments know that they have to increase their own security, as it is the norm in the entire country.” Hlathi’s comments are absolutely outrageous, and amounts to an admission that the SAPS is unable to fulfil their constitutional mandate of protecting South African citizens who have the constitutional right to protection by the state. His arrogance and ignorance clearly show how out of touch he is with the communities he serves. In addition, Hlathi’s comments attempt to shift the responsibility of safety and security to the private sector, and literally serves as an instruction to citizens to protect themselves. This risky comment could lead to more and more citizens taking the law into their own hands. A total of five armed robberies and one murder were recorded in the Hazyview sector since the previous Monday, notwithstanding the spate of others this community has had to endure over the past five years, and we firmly believe that the Hazyview community is faced with a security crisis. So too, provincial commissioner Lieutenant General Thulani Ntombela must publicly state if he shares the views expressed by Hlathi. The DA will write a formal letter of complaint to commissioner Ntombela, and demand that Hlathi immediately be removed as SAPS spokesperson. The DA also insists that both Hlathi and the commissioner apologise to the people of this province in general, and residents of Hazyview in particular – and commit increased resources to reduce the critical levels of crime in the area.

U eie plaaslike Bybelkollege Tingeling Kleuterskool maak hulle omgewing kleurvol Ekklesia Bybelkollege is op 9 Augustus 2007 in opdrag van God in Lydenburg begin. Die kollege het homself daarop ingestel om lidmate van alle denominasies op te lei en hulle toe te rus ten einde in hulle eie gemeentes betrokke te kan wees.

Tingeling Kleuterskool, Steelpoort het hierdie ou muur, wat ‘n seer oog vir almal was opgevrolik met ‘n paar blikke verf en hope energie. Dis met die toewyding van ‘n uitstekende skoolhoof, Lu Ann en haar wenspan, om die kinders se dag sommer op te vrolik as hulle na die muur kyk.
Dankie Lydenburg

Tonteldoos
Die Tonteldoos Fees was weereens ’n fees der feeste tydens die Paasnaweek. Duisende mense het die klein grondpaadjie aangedurf en al stamp-stamp na die feesterrein gery. Die Tonteldoosfees is uniek en het nie sy gelyke in Suid-Afrika nie. Dit is juis omdat dit so ’n lekker plaasatmosfeer het dat dit so gewild is. Die donkiekarre is al tradisie en kinders kan met een teen ’n nominale tarief ry. Foto’s Michelle Boshoff

Wat ’n motorsport fees! DIE jaarlikse Absa / Toyota / Donaldson veldren het toe die afgelope naweek hier in en om Lydenburg plaasgevind. En wat ’n fees was dit nie! Donderdagaand het dinge al begin, met ’n lekker kuier by McGee’s waar die twee Ford Racing Rangers uitgestal is en wat die eerste ronde van die Absa reeks gewen het. Daar was ook ’n veldren nabootser, lekker kos en gaste is bederf met gelukkige trekking pryse. By Longtom Nissan het ook ’n feestelike atmosfeer geheers met die Regent Nissan Navara en die twee V8 RFS BMW’s. Hannes Grobler het soos gebruiklik met die gaste gesels en het spesiaal vir ons sy BMW se enjin opgeklop om na die musiek van die 4.8 liter V8 te luister. Vrydagoggend vroeg, het plaaslike jaer John Roos, in sy 800cc pypraam motor alleen weggespring om die Prologue te ry. Die res van die deelnemers het tweeuur Vrydagmiddag weggespring vir die voorwedren. Stof was vanjaar ’n groot faktor en met bykans geen wind, het die stofwolke dig bly hang in die lug. Wat die produksie bakkies betref, was hierdie Toyota se veldren. Die twee V8 Hilux bakkies wat ook die Dakar getem het, het skoonskip gemaak met Duncan Vos en Robert Howie in die eerste plek en Anthony Taylor en Chris Birkin in die tweede plek. Hannes Grobler het derde klaargemaak in sy V8 BMW X3. Wat die pypkarre betref, was Herman Sulwald en Wichard Sulwald eerste in hulle Porter V8 en Nardus en Louis Alberts tweede in hulle V8 Bat Spec 2. Andre Coetzee.

Absa Toyota 400 Off Road Race THE streets of Lydenburg and surrounds again reverberated with the sound of highly tuned racing machines during the weekend of 13 and 14 April, during the annual Absa / Toyota / Donaldson off road race. The cars included the two Ford Racing Rangers that took honours during the first race of the year, the mighty V8 Toyota Hiluxes that competed in the 2012 Dakar Rally, and the RFS V8 BMW X3’s (one piloted by the well known Hannes Grobler). In the end, the two Hiluxes finished first and second, with Hannes third. The Sullwald father and son team claimed victory in their Porter V8 in the section for special vehicles. An interesting story is the one of locals John Roos and Doppies Strydom. Not having a racing license, they were only allowed to do the prologue early on Friday and they were allowed to race half the distance (the prologue again) after the main event. They entered in a standard small 4x4 tube frame Hajadu vehicle, powered by a V-Twin 800 cc motor. They did very well and completed their stage in an excellent time of 1 hour 30 minutes over the torturous mountain section, proving that there should actually be a special class for these vehicles. Costing less than R 100 000, such vehicles would allow more people to enter the sport. As a comparative figure, only one shock absorber system (there are four) on a Bat, costs R 180 000. Coupled with the frame, racing Chev V8 engine of 6-litres and electronics package, these cars cost upwards of R 2 million, making entry available only to the select few. John and Doppies would like to express their thanks to everyone that assisted with sponsorship, donations, and good wishes, without whom they would not have been able to take part. Andre Coetzee

Autumn in your garden - what to do AS the days become shorter and the nights longer, savour the final golden days of summer in your garden. Sort out your bulbs, divide your lilies and arums, and check vulnerable plants for disease. Do you have a glut of chillies from your garden? Why not dry them and keep for later? Lay them in the sun to dry or in a warm oven, alternatively put them in a bottle, cover with Sherry in a dark cupboard for a few months. Use the liquid to give an extra kick to thick, warm, winter soups. What a blessing is it to have the beginning with autumn with us – The season which is regarded to be the best time to plant trees, shrubs and roses as it allows the plant to grow a much stronger root system in readiness for spring. This is also the time of celebration when harvested gathered, fruit ripen on the vine, veld grasses take on the color of ripened corn, road verges are bright with pink and white cosmos, and gardens assume their autumn dress amidst the faded grandeur of summer. There is always movement in the autumn garden as the breeze moves among the trees and the leaves spiral down. Many gardeners don't like the untidy look of the fallen leaves of deciduous trees and shrubs. Some rake these leaves off the lawn and out of the flowerbeds, and put it into plastic bags, which are deposited on the pavement to be removed. Deposit
them on the compost heap with all the other household waste. But why not leave the leaves? Just think about it. In the woods, all the fallen leaves aren't picked up! The most ecological, and water wise way is to leave autumn leaves in the beds where they fall. Dead leaves, twigs and grass form, over time, a fertile natural compost, which in turn maintain the woodland plants. The leave mulch ensure slower evaporation of water from soil. More water is conserved this way. A thick mulch layer reduces weed growth. It does by blocking out the sunlight necessary for germination and growth. Mulch protects plant roots from frost. A mulch layer is a vital source of food for earthworms. Using leaf rakings as a mulch is a labor efficient practice. No need to waste time walking up and down to the compost heap. Fallen leaves add ambiance of a woodland, naturalistic or indigenous garden. A healthy mulch layer supports a huge amount of insect life. This in turn, is a source of food to many garden birds and other wildlife. General Maintenance - With autumn in the air, these are glorious days for gardening. Now its a good time to make new beds and to divide and plant out summer flowering perennials such as agapanthus and Shasta Daisy's. Sow you vegetables seeds now or plant seedlings. Spray your roses every second week with fungicide to prevent black spot and mildew. Place small piles of snail bait in shaded, damp spots under leaves and branches. Feed Azaleas, camelias, Tea bushes and roses with a handful of Talborne 3:1:5 Hydrangeas need a good thick layer of mulch. And feed with Talborne 3:1:5 Bougainvillea's will love a handful of hoof-and- horn meal and magnesium sulfate.
Mark your summer flowering bulbs and deciduous perennials that are left in the ground. Protect conifers from cypress aphid that attacks in winter. By spraying with an aphicide or sprinkling granules around the base of each tree you can prevent this problem. Summer Rainfall seeds to plant: Ageratum, Alyssum, Antirrhinum, Aquilegia, Bellis perennis, Calendula, Cornflower, Campanula, Foxglove, Hollyhock (see the rest on our sowing guide for seeds) Seedlings to plant: Allysum, Iceland poppy's, Lobelia, pansies, viola, sweet pea, wall flower, primula, gazania, antirrhinum, cineraria, delphinium, dianthus, foxglove, verbena. Bulbs to plant: Allium, anemone, babiana, daffodil, Dutch iris, freesia, ixia, narcissus, ornithology, rananculus, scilla, sparaxis, tulbaghia, and Triton ~ Down the Garden Path

Fish the 2012 DFFA BONANZA !!! Dullstroom Fly Fishers' Association (DFFA) are inviting all skilful fly fishers to enter in the 2012 DFFA BONANZA – a teambased competition to take place in and around Dullstroom in October this year. The event has a proud history going back 15 years and once again promises to provide a fun and action packed weekend for all participants – with Xplorer Fly Fishing as the principal sponsor for the first time. One of the attractions of the competition, other than the chance to win fantastic prizes throughout the weekend, is the opportunity to fish on some of Dullstroom's premium waters, which would not normally be open to public fishing. Participants will fish over 5 sessions from Friday, October 12, to Sunday, October 14, with the teams drawing a rotation of waters pre-determined on a “fair-to-all” basis. The competition's principal sponsor is Xplorer Fly Fishing and will feature prizes and awards in the following categories: · Best team / Runner-up Team · Best angler per session / Runner-up angler per session · Biggest fish · Best lady angler · Best junior angler · Best dressed team The entrance fee is R1,250 per angler (R5,000 per team of 4) – juniors less than 18 yrs are invited to participate at R600. Entry forms and competition rules are available from The Village Angler in Dullstroom (theangler@dullstroom.net / 013 254 0045) or from Paul Vallet, DFFA Secretary (palaver@acenet.co.za / 083 450 8015). Much of the proceeds will be donated to local charities, as in 2011 when R40,000 was paid to Helping Hands a local registered charitable organization. The competition will be limited to 80 anglers and early application is encouraged to avoid disappointment. ~ Dullstroom Fly Fishers Association Contact: Alan Hatton 013 254 0782 / 073 478 3317 / ah.ah@axxess.co.za

The Sasol Rally takes place this weekend BIG entry for Sasol Rally includes competitors from Africa. The Sasol Rally, round two of the South African and FIA African Rally Championships, has attracted a big entry of 45 competitors including teams from Zimbabwe and Ruwanda. The rally, which will be held over a route of some 200 kilometres consisting of 14 timed special stages in the forests around the Mpumalanga Lowveld towns of Sabie, Graskop, White River and Nelspruit, starts in Sabie on Friday, April 20 and ends in Nelspruit on Saturday, April 21. Heading the South African entry and the teams competing in the top S2000 class for twolitre four-wheel drive cars are current championship leaders Mark Cronje and Robin Houghton in a privateer Sasol Ford Fiesta. They have 25 points after their victory in the opening round in KwaZulu-Natal four weeks ago. Second with 21 points is the factory Castrol Team Toyota pair of Johnny Gemmell and Carolyn Swan, who finished 39 seconds behind the winners. Charl Wilken and Greg Godrich (Basil Read Ford Fiesta) are third with 19 points, two ahead of new team-mates and former champions Jan Habig and Robert Paisley, who were an impressive fourth overall in KZN in their debut in the left-hand drive Ford after switching from the factory Volkswagen team. Highest placed of the three factory BP Volkswagen Polo crews after the opening round of the championship are former champions Enzo Kuun and Guy Hodgson, who are fifth overall and a single point behind their former team-mates. Sixth are VW's new international pairing of Holland's Hans Weijs Jnr and Belgian Bjorn Degandt in the third Polo, who enjoyed a successful South African debut in KZN. Completing the top 10 in the points and in the order in which they finished the Total Rally are Jean-Pierre Damseaux and Grant Martin in a Team Total Toyota Auris (7th with 14 points), Mohammed Moosa and Andre Vermeulen in a Team Total Toyota Auris (8th with 13 points), Jon Williams and Cobus Vrey in a Sasol Ford Fiesta (9th with 12 points) and Wilro Dippenaar and Morne du Toit in a PZN Panelbeaters Toyota RunX (10th and leading the new S2000 Challenge for earlier spec cars, with 10 points). Also in contention in the S2000 Challenge, which has attracted an entry of five cars, will be Gugu Zulu and Carl Peskin, who were second in the Challenge in the opening round in a factory BP VW Polo, up-and-coming youngster Henk Lategan and Barry White, who rolled their Q8 Oils VW Polo on the Total Rally, and two newcomers to the class, Werner Koekemoer and Etienne Lourens (Toyota RunX) and Mpumalanga Lowveld brothers Joos and Danie Stassen, who will be hoping to put local knowledge to good use in a Lidwala Subaru STi. Contesting the second round of the FIA African Rally Championship are Giancarlo Davite and Sylvia Vindevogel of Ruwanda in a Subaru Impreza WRX and Zimbabwe's Mohammed Essa and Greg Stead in another Subaru WRX. Several of the crews contesting the SA championship will also be competing for ARC points, including Cronje/Houghton, Wilken/Godrich, Williams/Vrey, Habig/Paisley, Stassen/Stassen and Sebastiaan Klaassen/Cindi Harding (Monster Ford Fiesta). Non-finishers on the Total Rally but by no means out of contention in the eight-round
20 championship (competitors may drop their worst score at the end of the season) include former champions Hergen Fekken and Pierre Arries (BP VW Polo), who showed good pace on the Total Rally and led after the first day before their brand new car was sidelined with electrical problems, and Leeroy Poulter/Elvene Coetzee, twice winners last year in a Castrol Team Toyota Auris. They will be in a newly-built car after their Toyota caught fire and burnt out on the opening stage of last month's event. Former champion Craig Trott and co-driver Robbie Coetzee (Team Total Toyota RunX) lead the Two Wheel Drive Championship for S1600 cars after the first round with 25 points. Second with 21 points are Matthew Vacy-Lyle and Schalk van Heerden (Yato Tools Toyota RunX), who were runners-up in the Total Rally. Two points back in third place are Murray Lloyd and Ralph Lehman (MLC Computer Solutions VW Polo), with rookie Nic van der Westhuizen and the experienced Henry Dearlove Jnr (SA Earthworks Ford Fiesta) fourth on 17 points and Megan Verlaque and Hilton Auffray (BP VW Polo) fifth on 16 points. There are several potential class winners among the S1600 crews who failed to finish the Total Rally, including Ashley Haigh-Smith (Castrol Ford Fiesta) and new co-driver Craig Parry, Clint Weston and Herman Groenewald (Reef Tankers Citroen C2), Tjaart Conradie and Kes Naidoo (Galvadip Toyota Auris) and Guy Botterill and Simon Vacy-Lyle (Yato Tools Toyota RunX). Making his national championship rally debut in a well-supported S20 class (for cars that don't comply with S2000 or S1600 regulations) is 15-year-old Richard Leeke III, son of multiple former SA rally and off road champion co-driver Richard Leeke II. The youngest driver in the rally, he and co-driver Pierre Jordaan will be in a Toyota Tazz in which they have been impressing in regional events. The 21st Sasol Rally starts in Sabie at 10:00 on Friday, April 20 and ends at the Lowveld Showgrounds in Nelspruit on Saturday afternoon. Saturday's action starts in Nelspruit at 07:45 Charmaine Fortune
