VERKEER in Lydenburg op die hoek van De Beer- en Viljoenstrate het Vrydag amper tot stilstand gekom toe ’n motorfietsryer en ’n motor in ’n botsing betrokke was. Almal is in ’n bestendige toestand. Dit was ’n riem onder die hart om te sien hoe vinnig almal hand bygesit het om die motorfietsryer behulpsaam te wees. Volgens omstanders moes die beseerde meer as ’n uur wag vir die ambulans. Dankie aan almal wat hand bygesit het. Foto Michelle Boshoff.

p 10 of 11-jarige ouderdom het ek al gehoor ek't 'n goeie algemene kennis. Al dink ek die kinders het eintlik bedoel 'n wysneus en nie eers mooi geweet wat is algemene kennis nie. Tog 'n mooi woord nê. Dis iets wat almal behoort te hê. Daarom word dit beskou as baie algemeen. Tog wil dit voorkom of die algemeenheid daarvan verskil van persoon tot persoon. Seker omdat elke mens verskillende belangstellings het. Algemene kennis. Dis die antwoord op bogenoemde relaas. Maar ek wonder nou eintlik… wat is eintlik algemeen? Ek het oor hierdie punt begin wonder nadat iemand my gevra het of daar 'meer as een regering in Suid-Afrika is?' Die antwoord: 'Ja natuurlik. 'n Nasionale-, provinsiale- en plaaslike regering. Dis mos algemene kennis.' Die persoon was ongelukkig oor die opmerking, wat gelyk het of ek dink sy's dom. Daarom het ek gewonder, is Suid-Afrika se politieke struktuur werklik algemene kennis? Want as die persoon glad nie daarin belangstel nie, sal dit mos nie algemeen wees nie. In 'n gesprek verwys ek die ander dag na die Nasionale Ordes wat deur die president toegeken is by die Uniegeboue. 'Wat is die Uniegebou?,' word ek afgevra. Ek sluk eers na asem voordat ek amper hooghartig antwoord: "Dis die uitvoerende regeringsetel van Suid-Afrika en die President se kantore is daar. O ja, antwoord ek uit die vuis: die argitek was sir Herbert Baker.' Ek voel toe dadelik sleg… soos 'n regte wysneus. Met dié besef ek toe dat inligting wat vir my dalk algemeen is nie dieselfde vir haar nie.
Flip Viljoen is na ’n kort siekbed op 25 April 2012 oorlede. Hy laat sy vrou Antjie, twee dogters, Anita, Noemie, Antonie van Rooyen (skoonseun), vier kleinkinders en twee agterkleinkinders agter.

“Dié Kerk soek en wil nie gee”
Gelukkig weet ek wat ek weet, wysneus of nie nê.
2 Timothy 3: 1 - 5 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” Lord, help us to remain true to you in these difficult times.
DIE OUTOPPIE SE KOMMENTAAR
Eerste ronde vir die mense IN die Gautengse hof is verlede Woensdag bevind dat die groep wat teen die e-Tol stelsel gekant is, se saak ernstig genoeg is om gehoor te word. Dit beteken nie dat die e-Tol stelsel afgeskaf gaan word nie, maar minstens het die mense ’n reg om gehoor te word. Die stelsel is deur die regering, Sanral en hulle oorsese vennote gestoomroller. Met persoonlike belange en
Wyle mnr. Flip Viljoen. uitheemse wattelbome suksesvol vanaf Sterkspruit tot by Lydenburg Dorpsdam uitgeroei het. Hy is aangewys as Beampte van die Jaar en het in 1992 ’n sertifikaat ontvang ter erkenning en as blyk van waardering vir 30 jaar ononderbroke volgehoue, bevredigende en toegewyde diens in die Staatsdiens van die Republiek van Suid Afrika. Buks Neethling, ’n jare lange vriend, noem dat hy baie by hom geleer het en sy wyshede en gesegdes altyd onthou. Anton Herbst, ’n vriend, het gesê hy was baie bevoorreg om
Flip as ’n vriend te gehad het. Frik Rousseau en Blackie Swart, wat 30 jaar met Flip vriende was, noem dat Flip hulle mentor en ’n tweede pa was. Sy skerp insig was vir almal ’n inspirasie en motivering. Sy afsterwe laat ’n baie groot leemte. Hy het jare lank vir Lydenburg Rugbyklub, Walvisbaai en Ermelo se eerste spanne rugby gespeel. In 1960 is hy gekies vir die Noord Oostelike Transvaalse Rugby Subunie. In Ermelo het hy erekleure van die rugbyklub ontvang. Hy was vir jare lank ondervoorsitter van Lydenburg Rugbyklub. Antjie wil graag al die belangstellendes bedank vir hulle oproepe, boodskappe en besoeke. Sy wil graag die volgende persone in besonder bedank: Antonie van Rooyen en Noemie, wat vir ons ’n kruk in hierdie moeilike tyd was en vir al hulle reëlings en vervoer heen en weer. Anita, wat van Pongola af gekom het en by haar kom bly het.
Anoniem van Lydenburg skryf: Met groot onsteltenis, ergenis,en teleurstelling vir 'n sekere kerk in die dorp, wonder ek, of ons nog 'n kerk moet besoek!! Elke maand is hulle eerste by die gemeentelede vir die tiendes, sien, die predikant ens. moet betaal word!! Elke Sondag sit jy in die kerk en met die afkondigings word daar weereens gevra vir jou tiende!! Ek weet die Bybel se jy moet jou tiendes gee. Sover ek weet, as jy jou tiende gee, help dit ander mense in nood ook? Maar in die kerk, word daar gekritiseer op jou kleuters. Eers word hulle aanvaar in die kleuterkerk, dan word hulle skielik geweier. Dan word die 2 jarige nie toegelaat nie, omrede die kleinding nog op doeke is, maar elke Sondag word ander babas wat op doeke is toegelaat in die kleuterkerk. (O...terloops, wag nou nog dat die Dominee terug kom na ons). Vra jy die kerk vir hulp met kos, word jou huis deeglik deursoek met 'n neus in die lug houding, hoor hulle jy het meer as een kleintjie, word daar dadelik 'n houding getrek oor die klein huis of spasie. Dan word daar nogal gesê, AS JY DIE KERK OM HULP VRA, SAL ONS DIE WELSYN MOET BETREK!! Waarvoor is die kerk nou eintlik daar? Om die welsyn op jou te sit, omdat jy 'n bietjie sukkel!! Daar is niks fout met die huis nie, die kinders is mooi versorg en daar is beddens en klere!! In my tyd, as jy jou kerk gevra het om te help met kos, is ons elektrisiteit ook sommer deur hulle betaal. Nie eenkeer het die kerk kom inspeksie hou in my huis nie! Kos is afgelewer met baie liefde en deernis, en geen
biljoene rande ter sprake, asook kontrakte wat nou nie ongedaan gemaak kan word nie, staan baie mense te verloor uit hierdie skandaal. Ons as motorryers wil beter paaie hê en gee nie om om redelike tolgelde vir goeie paaie te betaal nie. Maar die kostestruktuur is buitensporig. Machadodorp op die N4 is die duurste tolhek in die land. Soveel so dat vragmotors op Belfast afdraai en deur Lydenburg oor die Longtompas Nelspruit en Mosambiek toe ry, om die tol vry te spring. Dit verwoes natuurlik ons plaaslike paaie en infrastruktuur. Kan jy dink wat nou van die ompaaie in Gauteng gaan word? Dit raak almal wat daar woon. Mense gaan gewoon deur die woonbuurtes ry om van die snelweë af te bly. En die koste van die skade gaan
houding nie!! Nog nooit het ons die kerk hier in Lydenburg gevra om ons te help nie, want dit het nog nooit so sleg gegaan nie. Noudat ons eenkeer se hulp vra, nou wil hulle die welsyn stuur na ons!! Jy wat gaan inspeksie hou het met jou neus in die lug houding, met jou snobisme...mag jy nooit, ooit sukkel nie, want dan gaan die welsyn by jou opdaag. En jammer....as dit is hoe mense optree in jou kerk, onttrek ek eerder heeltemal van die kerk.

verreweg groter wees as wat die regering gedink het. Hulle gulsigheid het weereens tot ’n onwerkbare situasie gelei en nou moet ons die gelag betaal. En dit gaan jou hier in Lydenburg ook raak. Almal ry weekliks voorraad, onderdele en ons koerante vanaf Gauteng aan. Dit gaan ons almal kos. Ek, vir een, gaan nie die e-Tol ketoetertjie koop nie. Ek gaan ook nie ’n rekening betaal as ek hom ontvang nie. Hulle kan my hof toe vat. Hulle sal duisende rande moet uitgee om my vir ’n paar rand te vervolg. Dit is publieke ongehoorsaamheid. Ons is gatvol daarvoor om vir elke skelm wat met die regering besigheid doen se sakke te betaal. Ons het in die ou dae goeie paaie gebou en ’n spoorwegstelsel geskep wat vir niks skrik nie. Die ANC het alles opgemors en nou moet ons betaal! Nee, genoeg is genoeg! Hierdie keer steun ek Cosatu sonder skroom.

Die doel van hierdie kolom is om meer te leer van die omgewing waarin ons leef. Vreemde indringers. BAIE vreemde diere en plante word wêreldwyd inen uitgevoer vanaf die oorspronklike omgewing. Die in- en uitvoer van hierdie spesies veroorsaak groot probleme in omgewings waar dit nie hoort nie. Die troeteldiermark is een van die grootste oorsake van die probleem. Finansieel is dit ook tot waarde van individue se bankrekenings. Wetgewing is ook nie altyd voldoende om die problem te kontroleer nie, om ’n paar te noem. Maar die impak wat dit op die omgewing, of op sekere inheemse spesies het, word min genoem, of ondersoek. In die South African Journal of Science word hierdie onderwerp bespreek. Die grootste verskuilde probleem is die moontlike verspreiding van spesie spesifieke oordraagbare siektes. Alhoewel min inligting hieroor beskikbaar is, is die artikel in Beeld, van Woendag 21 Mei, 2003 uiters skokkend. Dit vertel van die swam (chytrid – fungus) wat deur platannas, in die dertigerjare, oorgedra was na Australie, waar hierdie
gebruik was vir swangerskap toetse op vroue. Die swam het ses paddaspesies totaal uitgewis! Dit versprei ook teen ’n tempo van 100 km per jaar, en saai ook verwoesting onder paddas in die VSA en Europa. Die probleem van uitheemse spesies word ook genoem in die artikel “Attack of the Alien Invaders” deur Susan McGrath, Inside Edition vanuit die National Geographic magazine. In Suid Afrika word groot hoeveelhede uitheemse reptiele ook ingevoer, of self plaaslik geteel, vir die troeteldiermark. Tog word die toekomstige gevare misgekyk of selfs verbloem. Inheemse spesies word ook in groot getalle uitgevoer na ’n vreemde omgewing. (Species previously listed as reptiles of concern, now prohibited in Florida) wat ons inheemse herpetofauna se voortbestaan bedreig. In die artikel word die Suid Afrikaanse luislang Phyton natalensis as verbode genoem. Eienaars het nie altyd die biologiese kennis van die reptiele nie, en probleme kan so ontstaan.

ontsnap, of word iewers in die veld gelos, met ’n nadelige effek op inheemse herpetofauna. Baie van hierdie reptiele is uiters giftig, en min teengif is teen ’n buitesporige prys, of dalk glad nie, beskikbaar nie. So is in die verlede 6 uitheemse reptiele in Lydenburg omgewing deur hanteerders verwyder, waaronder een ’n Ratelslang was ! Daar is ook ’n artikel waar ’n Burmese Luislang ’n baba doodgedruk het in haar slaap. (Couple convicted after pet python kills toddler. Inside Edition) deur dieselfde skrywer. Die Conservation and Sustainable Use of South Africa’s Biological Diversity (DEAT ) is tans besig met ’n navorsingsveldtog om die impak van genoemde indringer spesies te ondersoek. Hierdie verslag is tans op die internet beskikbaar. Uitheemse reptiele en ander diere is maklik verkrygbaar by troeteldierwinkels in Suid Afrika. Tog word ’n dringende beroep op kopers gedoen om eers navraag te doen oor hierdie spesies, voordat dit aangekoop word. ~ Neels Bothma

Hou op sukkel met jou noodwiel EK staan nou die dag by Westvaal Mashishing met Dawid Boshoff en Kobus Joubert en gesels. Kobus wys my toe ’n toestelletjie wat bestaan uit twee Schrader kleppies (male & female) met ’n pypie wat hulle verbind, wat hy iewers in Namibië gekoop het. Die toestelletjie skroef by jou spaarwiel onder die bakkie in (female kleppie met ’n 90 grade elmbogie) en die ander kant word agter op die buffer of bakwerk monteer. Party ouens lei dié punt (male kleppie) na die binnekant van die brandstof hervul flap, lang die petrol hervul pyp. Die doel is om jou toe te laat om jou spaarwiel se druk na te gaan en / of dit op te pomp, sonder om deur die hele proses van die wiel af te katrol om by die kleppie uit te kom, te gaan. Hoeveel ouens besit ’n SUV of dubbelkajuit bakkie, pak dit vir vakansie en wanneer jy wiele nagaan, is daar nie ’n manier om by die spaarwiel uit te kom, sonder om af te pak nie. Die gevolg - los maar die spaarwiel en hoop vir die beste. Wanneer jy dan wel eendag die noodwiel wil gebruik, is hy of pap of onder te min druk. Met ons Corsa by die werk ry ons al twee jaar met ’n stukkende bakknip (tailgate latch) en onthou toe eers jy kan net by die spaarwiel se katrol uitkom as die bakklap oop is. Dit is om te verhoed dat iemand jou spaarwiel steel. Dieselfde geld vir alle motors met sy spaarwiel onder die bak se vloer. As hy gepak is, vergeet van gou jou spaarwiel nagaan. Kobus se toestelletjie is net die antwoord vir hierdie probleem. Ek kuier toe by elke bandehandelaar en niemand het so iets nie. Jy kan die kleppies los kry en self ’n pypie met klampies laat opmaak, maar dit kos ’n bietjie moeite. Ek klim toe op maar op die Internet. ’n Maatskappy in Johannesburg kan kompleet pypies lewer teen tussen R 130 en R 150 per toestelletjie. Ram (waaierbande en rubberpype vir motorvoertuie) maak een genaamd “Spare Wheel Ready” en dit is in Lydenburg plaaslik te koop by Autozone. Ek het sy voorraad van drie geneem. Praat met Pottie, wat vir jou sal bestel. Ek soek self nog ’n hele paar. Ek het gedurende die naweek een op die Isuzu en een op die Corsa bakkie monteer. Maar ek gaan ook op die werk se Corsa’s, ma, boetie en sussie se motors, my Venter waentjie, die woonwa en die bossleepwa hiervan monteer. Ek is moeg gesukkel en wil nou die probleem oplos. Die werk verbonde aan die installasie is pynloos, vinnig en maklik. Laat jou noodwiel sak, haal dit uit die houer en gebruik die geleentheid om die wiel en houer skoon te maak. Skroef nou die “female” kleppie met die elmbogie op jou noodwiel se kleppie vas. Kyk waar die “male” kleppie moet uitkom en maak seker die pypie sal lank genoeg wees as jy die noodwiel weer moet laat sak. Maak seker die pypie sal nie knyp as jy die wiel ophys nie. Boor nou ’n gaatjie net groter as die kleppie en ryg die kleppie daardeur en draai vas. Gaan na vir lekke en pomp die noodwiel. Andre Coetzee
Op die Corsa kom die pypie mooi in die hoekie langs die nommerplaat uit (foto’s bo en links) Onthou op Corsa moet jy die sluitbare bakknip eers oopmaak en die bakklap laat sak, voor jy by die skroef uitkom waarmee jy die noodwiel kan laat sak (foto onder) Maak dus seker jou bakknip werk!

Local assembly makes Spark now even better Value for money CHEVROLET’s spunky little Spark hatchback is now being built in South Africa and to celebrate General Motors SA has slashed prices.
vehicles. “The first phase was the introduction of the Chev Utility late in 2011, the third will be the introduction of a new Isuzu light commercial in 2013.” The cost savings have, Gauld says, been achieved without compromise to specification (except for the alloy rims, of course). “The Spark is a now, more than ever, a serious contender on value-formoney specification in the entry level segment. Couple this with classleading safety specification, including anti-lock brakes and front airbags on all models - and the Spark emerges clearly ahead of the opposition.” The new prices structure applied from April 26 2012. Wheels24.co.za
GM describes it as “a price realignment” but the bottom line is that the new price for the entry-level model Spark 1.2L is now R107 500 including VAT – a cut of seven percent from the previous R114 500. You can add a “sports bumper” and 15” alloy rims for an extra R3000. Malcolm Gauld, GMSA’s sales and marketing boss, said: “There is even better news for those who want to go a bit upmarket. The Spark LS (with aircon, power windows and mirrors and other extra features) will now sell for R116 500 (from the previous R128 945), a saving of 9.7% (or R12 445) over the imported model. “This makes the Spark a serious contender in the entry level market and an excellent value proposition.” However, the imported LS already had alloy rims – you want them now you’ll pay R1500 extra, so the actual saving is R10 945 – still a substantial discount. The car was launched in 2010 The units will be assembled at the GM plant in Port Elizabeth. Gauld added: “The first locally produced Sparks mark the completion of phase two of a three-phase major investment at our plant that will bring GMSA fully into line with the government’s Automotive Production Development Plan with a targeted annual local production of 50 000
e-Tol op hou DIE kontroversiële Gautengse e-Tol stelsel is op hou, nadat verskeie beswaarde drukgroepe se saak laasweek in die Hooggeregshof voorgekom het. Die beslissing is egter nie die einde van die storie nie, aangesien dit slegs daarop gemik is om alle rekords openbaar te maak en na te gaan. Die storie is egter deurspek met ’n knoeiery, gebrekkige deursigtigheid, ’n gebrek aan konsultasie en geen deursigtigheid. Dit kom nou ook uit dat van die Sweedse maatskappye betrokke, ook betrokke kon wees by die wapenskandaal. Al hierdie dinge lyk soos die tippie van die ysberg en kan tot nog ’n reuse skandaal lei. Interessant is dat Sanral toegelaat word om astronomiese tolgelde te hef op byvoorbeeld die N4, waar die Machado en Malelane tolhekke van die duurste in die land is en niemand hieroor beswaar maak nie. Hier kom nog groot pret. Die belangrikste egter is dat publieke ongehoorsaamheid nou nuwe hoogtes bereik.

Exciting new concepts from Toyota THESE are Toyota's Dear Qin concepts, in hatch and booted format, on show this week at Auto China in Beijing. Take a long, hard look, and ignore the silly names, which probably mean something suitably aspirational in Mandarin. These two concepts point to the direction in which Toyota is taking its design language, so long derided by critics as bland and unexciting. They're also going to morph into a new global model, slated to hit the major markets as early as next year More importantly, they're built on a global architecture that will underpin not one but three new front wheel-drive platforms, eventually forming nearly half of Toyota's annual production. It's specifically tailored to have a lower centre of gravity than current offerings such as the Yaris and Aygo and will deliver “superb handling” (Toyota's words, not mine). Toyota isn't giving any nutsand-bolts details about the two concepts, which probably means they're not runners, but promises “emotional designs” with “bolder styling” on the generation of vehicles they will inspire. And that's something Toyota will need, to stand against the Korean onslaught. iol.motoring

Couple this with the fact that there was only a 2.4 percent growth in the manufacturing industry and that mining output is the lowest that it's been in 51 years. “It's clear that consumers have been driving the economy of late.” While the hike may prompt some to explore other means of everyday commuting, Cape Town economist Adenaan Hardien does not foresee a mass migration to public transport. “If we had a transport system on par with some European cities, then yes, but with the shortcomings in our current system, especially with safety and security concerns, people will rather keep their cars on the road and cut expenses elsewhere,”

Economy parts for older VW’s backed by Volkswagen THE trouble with running older vehicles is that inflation makes their parts more expensive while depreciation makes the cars less valuable - until you reach the point where a routine service can cast more than the car is worth. One way around that is to buy 'pirate' or non-original parts, but you don't know what kind of quality you're getting. Some may be considerably better than the parts the maker originally fitted, others are frankly dangerous. Which is the parts division of Volkswagen SA - in a classic case of “if you can’t beat them, join them” - has introduced its own range of aftermarket ‘pirate parts’ for models older than five years, calling them 'Economy Parts'. It's not a new idea - Economy Parts have been available in Germany and some other markets for a while - and now they're available in South Africa. VW Group parts manager Richard Longe explained: “Economy Parts are still made to Volkswagen quality standards; there's no compromise in the safety, performance and durability of the parts.
Comprehensive Warranty of 4yr/120 000km
“And the current range of parts will still be available should customers choose to fit them.” “What we have done is to simplify the design of some parts and use alternative materials for others, so that we can retail them at a lower price than the originals.
FIESTA 1.4 Ambiente 5 DOOR Comprehensive Warranty of 4yr/120 000km
“Economies of scale also contribute; the Economy Parts range covers fastmoving service items that are shared by many VW models. “The parts have all been through a rigorous testing programme to make sure they meet global VW standards, so franchised dealers, independent workshops and DIY customers can use them with peace of mind.” Currently available are brake pads, brake discs, batteries, shock absorbers, CV joints, wiper blades and spark plugs, although Longe says the range will expanded in the future.

"Avoid annoying phone calls from Estate Agents." "Save 1000s of Rand in commissions." "Don't pay commissions." "You can focus better on selling because it is the only home you need to sell." "You know your home best." Disappointingly, these are the best arguments put forward by those punting private selling as opposed to the use of estate agents. The question is whether these reasons are sufficiently compelling to send you into the thorny unknowns of Do It Yourself selling? In all fairness: Probably not. Perhaps consider the following eight valid reasons to use an estate agent to sell your property, before making your decision on whether to opt for private selling or not. Reason 1: Property is an Estate Agent's Area of Expertise The right estate agent will be qualified, experienced and have a track record to prove his or her ability. By appointing this person, you gain the services of an expert who will act in your best interests throughout the selling process - from the beginning to the end.

Reason 2: Estate Agents take care of the marketing detail The estate agent takes care of the many small tasks associated with getting the word out there that your property is up for sale. This includes listing, photographing and advertising your property, as well as putting up boards and planning when to host show days at your house. Reason 3: Estate Agents can help you determine a price Advantages of using our services! Price guidance is a very important factor. For one, estate agents know what the market

conditions are and can fully explain the impact of these conditions to you – for better or for worse. Secondly, estate agents are normally allocated to specific neighbourhoods, so they will know your area by heart: What the going prices are, and the time it normally takes to sell properties similar to yours. Thirdly, based on the market conditions and the neighbourhood dynamics, the estate agent can work with you to determine the most appropriate marketing strategy to sell your property at the best possible price. Reason 4: Estate agents have access to buyers
Estate agencies are prolific advertisers. The advertising, together with the regular show houses they host, ensure a steady supply of prospective buyers on their books. Some of these prospective buyers' requirements may well match the property you are trying to sell. Reason 5: Estate agents filter out the noise Estate agents act as a filter between you and the buying market. They screen the telephone calls and eliminate the proverbial tyre-kickers to ensure that only serious buyers end up on your doorstep. Reason 6: Estate agents know how to close a deal As sales professionals, estate agents know how to go about closing a property deal. A good estate agent will read the buying signal and ensure that an offer to purchase is signed as soon as possible. Reason 7: Estate agents are in a better position to negotiate Estate agents are in a better position to negotiate on your behalf because they are not emotionally involved in the transaction. They also know which information should legally be disclosed during negotiations and which information can be withheld. Reason 8: Estate agents sort out the paperwork Estate agents take care of the offers and counteroffers as well as preparing the wads of financial and legal paperwork associated with selling a property. Naturally, the usefulness of an estate agent is directly proportional to his or her competence. Making use of a reputable estate agency is always a good start. Most agencies will allow you to screen the agents that service your area and to choose the agent you would prefer working with. Source - Home Loans SA
