Anonymous, Kellysville writes: Letter to the Mayor

Dear Mr M Ncongwane, I am a concerned resident of Kellysville, Lydenburg. I would like to know to whom must we go to lay complaints because we are not the kind of people who toi toi or use violence to make our voice heard. Firstly, our road from the crossing into Kellysville looks like a pigsty. No one has ever cared to come and fix it they rather come and make it worse with stones. Secondly, why is it always Kellysville that has power failures whenever there is rain in the area but all the other areas have electricity? We have babies, old and sick people that needs to be taken care of. A few months ago on a Sunday the whole of Lydenburg was without electricity. Why? We were told that they were fixing the problem, but until now the problem has not been solved. Who is responsible for this? Why don`t they do their work. Its’ so old fashioned to have power failures and I think this only happens in Lydenburg, not even the rural areas have such power problems. And thirdly, they promised us stands in Ext 9, 200 of them, but what is happening there now is chaos. People from Bushbuckridge and Burgersfort have first privilege! Why must we submit a list of names while the others don’t? Where is the list for those people squatting there? Why is there so much corruption? The people who made these promises are missing in action. Please Mr Ncongwane, we need your help urgently in Kellysville!

Die Laerskool Lydenburg se pretdag Vrydag het party kinders laat snik van die hitte, maar ander het baljaar in die skuim en water. Ons, as volwassenes, sou eerder plekke met die kinders wou ruil... enige dag van die week, veral as daar so lekker baljaar word.

The Highlands Panorama News publishes this letter on the front page with the hope that we will also have reply from the Mayor next week on the front page. The problems are not in Kellysville alone. Potloodspruit and Sterkspruit also have no power every time it rains. These problems are a community issue and everyone would like an answer. Seeing that we rarely get feedback from the municipality we hope that Thaba Chweu makes feedback a priority this week. - Editor, Michelle Boshoff

NON-indigenous, sometimes venomous snakes are increasingly being found in the veld and suburbia in South Africa after their owners discover they cannot take care of them properly and release them. Recently snake catchers found a deadly venomous North American diamondback rattler with a clutch of eggs in the veld in Honeydew, Johannesburg. There was also an incident when a Gauteng snake keeper was somehow bitten behind the ear by a potentially deadly American Cottonmouth. He was hospitalised and was fortunate enough to locate some anti-venom locally - at a cost of R120 000. If you are perhaps bitten by a venomous exotic snake chances are you will not be able to find anti-venom and the bite could prove fatal. Exotic snakes can carry diseases and or parasites from their native countries which our own indigenous snakes have no immunity against and as such the An exotic Corn snake found in a Lydenburg garden on Monday. This is indigenous snake population could be luckily not a venomous snake. decimated when being exposed. The trade in exotic snakes is not subject to control and people keep and trade these snake being kept as a pet becomes a permits in Mpumalanga so there is no animals irresponsibly. Very often, a nuisance or a problem for the owner. The

owner then decides to release it back into nature, which is of course the nearest area which looks remotely wild enough to release the animal. Such snakes can however not fend for themselves and very often they die a long and slow death by starvation. Since 1994, from records kept by Neels Bothma collected from telephone calls to remove unwanted visitors in Lydenburg and further afield, the exotics include Reticulated pythons, Anaconda’s, Copperheads and in 2011 he was called to identify a snake killed by dogs in Lydenburg, which turned out to be a Rattlesnake. So, if you are no longer able to keep your snake pet, please contact your nearest conservation office for a list of reputable legal institutions or individuals who might be willing to take over the snake. Do not just dump your snake in the nearest park or veld. Not only is this illegal, it constitutes cruelty towards the animal and can pose a significant threat to our biodiversity. For further information or help with snakes in general contact Neels Bothma on 082 730 3047

These are the conditions that the staff of Early Success Day Care Centre in Mashishing cook under. The roof has holes in it and they only managed to place a small piece of canvas over the hole. They urgently need someone to fix the roof. Over 200 children get meals daily from them so the situation is an emergency. See more on page 9 ~ Michelle Boshoff

Munisipale swembad weer in werking DIT was 'n groot bekommernis gewees Vr y d a g a a n d m e t d i e R o o i k a t t e s e jaareindfunksie, dat strome water tydens die reënstorm op die gaste binne in die saal neergeval het soos ’n waterval, so erg dat gedeeltes van die dak en sement ingeval en mense se lewens in gevaar gestel is. Tafels en stoele is in ’n haglike toestand en vuil, sommige ligte se skerms is met lap en tou vasgemaak Op ’n stadium wou mnr. Frik Rousseau, Direkteur van Lelievlei, sy personeel wat by die funksie gewerk het, onttrek as gevolg van veiligheidsredes. Lelievlei se inwoners het tereg gespot by mnr. Rousseau dat hulle nou by die munisipale swembad

werk en nie by Thaba Chweu se stadsaal nie. Elmarie Jansen van Vuuren, waarnemende leier van die VF+, wil graag weet wat het geword van die onderhoud van Lydenburg se stadsaal? Hoe kan mens op so ’n plek trots wees? Die VF+ is ’n proaktiewe party en is bereid om gratis kwotasies te verkry en by te staan met arbeid. ’n Afvaardiging van die VF+, bestaande uit Frik Rousseau, Elmarie Jansen van Vuuren en Elsje du Plessis gaan met die munisipalebestuurder vergader oor die swak toestand van die stadsaal.

UL jou hier, kul jou daar en siedaar. Pens en pootjies in 'n verbeeldingswêreld waar hongerpyne jou nie eers daaruit gaan kry nie. En dit te danke aan 'n boek. Iemand het my onlangs gevra wat is die goue les as mens wil skryf. Wel, dis om te lees. Lees, lees, Lees. “Lees is my lewe,” het Sarel Seemonster gesê van Wielie-Walie. Enige iets wat ek lees is vir my interessant... al sit ek die boek of artikel neer en lees weer oor 'n paar dae verder. Maar lees gaan ek dit lees. Daarom kan ek party boeke nie eers begin nie, want ek sal dit nie neersit voor ek klaar is nie. Ek is nou maar een van daardie kinders/ mense wat vroeër opstaan om 'n uur of twee te lees voor die dag begin. Vir dié wat nou al die boeke gelees het hoef ek nie te oortuig hoe wonderlik dit is nie. Vir die ander moet ek skryf wat Nataniël lank gelede in 'n advertensie kwytgeraak het: “Koop net die blêrrie ding.” Hoog geskok was ek om te hoor dat sekere kollegas hulle steeds nie aan die magiese wêreld van boeke blootgestel het nie. Ek is egter 'n groot genoeg aanhanger vir almal. Die feit dat boeke wonderlik is, het ek 'n paar keer in die Hoorhiersô-rubrieke kwytgeraak. Die plesier wat 'n boek verskaf mag nooit onderskat word nie. Ongekende vreugde. Daarom moet ek net my gunsteling digter, Ernst van Heerden, ook inbring by my 'kwellings en kwinkslae' hierdie week. Hy het 'n gedig geskryf, Boek:

Net tent as heenkome, en moet dit teruggee

As al die goue dae herinneringe word, die vreugde met 'n ou vergeelde boek wat ek al peinsend oopslaan om 'n glansende woord of sin te soek, sal dit selfontvermend wees, as die skemer om my mure daal, om al gereelder voor die vuurherd saans die ou boek van die rak te haal. Ek weet sommer dat ek lekker deurnag gaan lees aan 'n nuwe boek oor Kimberley se geskiedenis. Ek het dit die naweek by 'n vriend geleen. Ek kan nie wag om hande daarop te lê nie. *Ps. 'n Boek sal 'n welkome geskenk wees. Julle weet waar om my in die hande te kry!

Uit die Woord From the Word “Streams of water will flow through the desert, the burning sand will become a lake, and dry land will be filled with springs.” Isaiah 35:6,7 Lord help us to cherish and appreciate the water You have provided for us and help us to support water conservation, so everyone has clean safe water to drink.

DIE OUTOPPIE SE KOMMENTAAR

Die kommin faktor MY vriend wat oor “kommin” mense skryf, het laas die dames beet gehad. Nou is dit die manne se beurt. Storie verbatim. Hare agterkoe gekam, of table top of ’n mullet. Tee shirt wat uithang, die doel hiervan om die hangpens so effens te verdoesel. Jy kan hierrie spul gewoonlik uitken op wat hulle ry: Enige iets van ’n afgeleefde Ford V6, of ’n ou gaargeryde Nissan of Isuzu 4x4 met die wielvellings omgedraai en wye taaiers. Die goed kom die straat afgesukkel soos wafferse Bulldogs op steroids. Wat die konversion aan aandrywingskomponente en

te trek. Ek wil nie die mense wat so baie vir my doen in die rug steek nie. En ek vra nie omdat ek iemand wil misbruik nie. Ek is in so ’n posisie dat ek nie weet watter kant toe nie. Ek wil nie verneder word nie. As iemand my kan help met ’n tent of geld vir die tent bel my asseblief by 079 383 8198.

Anoniem van Lydenburg skryf: Dit is die eerste keer wat ek om hulp vra. Ek het juis my trots in my sak gesit en met dr. Visser gepraat en hom vir help genader omdat my kind se tone so erg gewees het dat hy nie meer wou lewe nie. Ek sal so bly wees as iemand my kan help. Ek wil nie soos ’n verloorder in ander se oë wees nie. Ek wil net R14 000 hê of geld insamel om ’n tent koop. Die oom wil sy army tent hê waarin ons bly teen 11 November. Dit lek in elk geval sodat oom Pieter vir ons ’n swart seil gekoop het om oor

• Dan wil ek net vir dr. Visser dankie sê vir al sy hulp ons waardeer dit baie. Dankie aan oom Pieter en tannie Ester vir die bystand wat hulle vir ons gegee het en nog steeds gee. Hulle beteken vir my alles.

The DA welcomes the long-awaited arrest by the Hawks of four officials of the Thaba Chweu Municipality in the case of the 'missing' R3,2 million, and hopes this will shed more light on the large-scale misappropriation of public funds that has plagued this municipality for the past decade. The arrest stems from criminal charges laid by the DA in April 2009, when, during the course of the Easter weekend, 'unusual' and highly suspicious transactions were conducted outside of business hours. It is alleged that the Chief Financial Officer at the time, Mr Paul Mpele, provided his secret PIN to others, who

then shifted the money elsewhere. Mpele subsequently denied any knowledge of the transactions, claiming he was on leave, when in fact, he was at work. The DA is extremely pleased that residents will finally have some form of closure around the misappropriation of their hard-earned taxes, and sincerely hopes that it would send out a strong message to local government officials here, and in other municipalities, that in the long run, crime does not pay. While we trust that justice will prevail in this case, we hope that this will lead to more light being shed on many other cases of financial mismanagement in Thaba Chweu.

wielbeerings doen, weet nugter alleen. Onder die jonger spul is Golfies, Corsa Lites en Monzas nogal hoog op die gunstelling lys. Jy sal hulle op Saterdagoggende daar by die spares shops by dosyne opmerk waar hulle items soos stuurwieloortreksels, brandstofbymiddels, en natuurlik oliebymiddels wat rook en olieverbruik teewerk so wel as stop leak vir verkoelingsstelsels, goedkoop spenners en trolliejeks koop. O ja, en die goedkoopste motorolie denkbaar is gewoonlik hoog op die inkopielys.

Die ellendiges jaag gewoonlik van aansluiting tot aansluiting teen hooe revs in lae ratte met ’n moerse lawaai en maar min van dit waarna hulle hunker – spoed en aksellerashun.

Dabbelklutch is ook ’n sterk kenmerk van hierdie kategorie van “drywer”. Of is dit dalk dat die sinkroringe in hul gerbokse nou al so gaar is dat dit nou ’n kreshboks is, en lat dabbelklutch ’n noodsaaklike wyse van gerschange geword het? Hulle drankkeuse is meestal nie baie wyd nie: Gewoonlik beperk tot, First Watch of Two Keys whieskie met Coke of Sprite as mieks, Three Ships word reserveer vir uithanggeleenthede soos egskeidings, huismoles vonnisopleggings, ontvangs van skuldbeslagleggingsbevele, en ook as die Bloubulle op hulle moer kry. Blek leibel dien as ’n paartiestaaarter, Klippies en Coke is erens daar in die onheiligheid wat gewoonlik aanleiding gee tot “Ma moer vir Pa”. Plein Kommin Huismoles. Die Welfare se hotline is ook gewoonlik op die speed dial van hul selfone. Om nie eers te praat van die sound systems en gepaardgaande DOEF DOEF elektroniese geraas – NEE, dis nie musiek nie! Eina broer! Raak beskrywing inderdaad!

Michelle Boshoff, EDITOR, Highlands Panorama News THE changing world, demand for the truth and information at your fingertips and organisations growing by the minute are only a few factors that the media has to cope with on a day to day basis. The Association of Independent Publishers (AIP) hosted a conference for their Limpopo and Mpumalanga members this past weekend

at Olifants River Lodge near Middelburg. The Access to Information and Open Data Workshop was an eye opener and gave a new perspective on sources available to the media. Ms Gabriella Razzano from the Open Democracy Advice Centre in Cape Town, opened the media’s eyes on a lot of issues and gave first hand advice on the effect of information and the use of it. The PAIA request (Public Access to Information Act) is an exciting tool for ool

communities, the public, media and individuals to gain information from government departments. This is a helpful tool for investigative journalism as well. Mr Mziliakzi wa Afrika is part of the Sunday Times investigations unit, and was a guest speaker. Wa Afrika is a veteran of South African investigative journalism with a career dating back to 1995 when he started as a freelance reporter for the Witbank News. Over the years he has exposed a number of dodgy deals and corrupt politicians. The

Bushbuckridge - born scribe was awarded two international scholarships to study in the UK and USA, further recognition of his achievement in journalism. Accolades include the Taco Kuiper Award in 2011 and 2012, Lorenzo Natali Investigative Journalism Award and the Vodacom Journalist of the Year Award. Media is much more than what you read in a paper, hear on the radio and see on the TV. Supporting media means giving a voice to the world.

Strate is onrybaar INWONERS van Lydenburg het deesdae 4x4 voertuie en scramblers nodig om in Lydenburg te kan ry. Dit is belaglik om te sien hoe paaie agteruitgaan en vinnige en goedkoop maniere gebruik word om gate te vul wat net vir 2 of drie dae hou met die verkeer of weer uitgereën word. Die inwoners betaal ten duurste maar geen dienste word gelewer nie.“Voertuie en bande word beskadig en ongelukke word veroorsaak, waar gaan dit eindig?” het me. Elmari J. v. Vuuren, waarnemende leier VF+ gesê. Sy en mnr. Frik Rousseau, VF+ leier, gaan met die munisipale bestuurder vergader oor hierdie saak. Sterkspruit se inwoners moes sonder krag sit van Vrydagaand tot Sondagmiddag 15:30. Donderweer het die substasie raakgeslaan, dit het die hele naweek geneem om die fout te herstel. Inwoners moes intussen die ongerief ervaar en skade ly met vrot kos. Dit was alles as gevolg van swak munisipale dienste.

Invest Your Bonus or 13 Cheque Wisely! ON Friday 9 March 2012, the Energy Regulator NERSA announced that electricity tariffs will only go up by 16% on April 1, 2012 instead of the 25.9% as previously announced. Most of us were probably a little relieved! For the home owner and Guest House/Lodge operator, there is enough information available for us to know that the conventional electric element geyser is the single largest consumer of electricity in our homes and

establishments. To reduce your electricity bill, an option to consider is heat pump technology, and here's why. Whereas an electric element geyser uses 1 unit of electrical energy to produce one unit of thermal energy, the heatpump converts one unit of electrical energy into approximately 3 or more units of thermal energy, which amounts to a potential saving of 67 to 70%. According to ESKOM, a family of 4 people who are spending R1200 per month on electricity are spending 40% of

this cost on water heating, provided that they use hot water normally. This amounts to R480 per month. If a heat pump saves them 67% of that cost, it amounts to R322 per month, or approximately R3860 per year in the first

year alone. If the water usage is higher than normal, the savings would be bigger than shown. Below is a table of savings over a 5-year period, based on the 16% increase announced by NERSA.

Chevrolet a true global player DETROIT – Chevrolet sold more than 1.25 million vehicles worldwide in the third quarter of 2012, a 3.1 percent increase over last year's record-setting third quarter and the eighth consecutive quarter of record sales. Chevrolet's growth around the world continues to outpace other mainstream automotive brands. “Chevrolet is connecting with more consumers around the world thanks to the strongest product lineup in the brand's history,” said Chris Perry, Chevrolet vice president of global marketing. “Chevrolet will continue to build on this momentum by introducing 25 new products around the world in 2013.” The Cruze continues to be the best-selling Chevrolet nameplate with more than 550,000 sold so far this year and more than 1.65 million sold since the car was launched. Sales of the Spark mini car, Aveo/Sonic small car and 2013 Malibu midsize sedan are rising as more vehicles become available in dealer showrooms.

Freightliner trucks doing well DAIMLER´s commercial vehicle subsidiary Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) recently celebrated the production of its 500,000th truck at its Mount Holly plant in North Carolina. The milestone vehicle — a medium-duty Freightliner Business Class M2 106 — was handed over to long-time customer Duke Energy, one of the largest electric power companies in the U.S. With the acquisition of the new truck, Duke Energy is completing its fleet, which consists of several hundred vehicles of the Freightliner brand. “Ever since the plant was established in 1979, our employees' diligent daily efforts have turned the production plant into what it is today — a state-of-the-art Daimler Trucks facility that meets the highest quality standards,” emphasizes

Old technology often better THE hub winch, a new take on an old idea! The older members of the 4x4 fraternity will remember the so called “capstan winches” which were fitted to the hubs of vehicles. They allowed self recovery as well as vehicle to vehicle recovery and consisted of drums bolted onto the rims using the existing studs and nuts. A length of thick rope was inserted into grooved slot on the drum when the vehicle was stuck. The driver then pulled himself out using his wheels and the rope which was attached to a tree or other form of anchor; they worked well but were very cumbersome, utilitarian and had a few drawbacks. Today there is a new take on the “capstan” winch known as the “hub winch” which has ironed out the flaws and offers a very cost effective solution to a winch, in addition it also allows recovery to the rear of your vehicle if so required.

Martin Daum, Daimler Trucks North America President and CEO. A part of DTNA's commercial vehicle production network, the Mount Holly plant manufactures medium-duty and heavy-duty Freightliner Business Class trucks. The Class 6 to 8 vehicles (with a gross vehicle weight of around 9 to 36 tonnes) are available as conventional versions as well as hybrid and natural gas trucks. Daimler Trucks North America LLC, with headquarters in Portland, Oregon, is the leading medium and heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America. Daimler Trucks North America produces and markets vehicles under the Freightliner, Western Star, and Thomas Built Buses brands. Daimler Trucks North America is a Daimler company. Its global production network encompasses 27 locations. In 2011, Daimler Trucks sold approximately 426,000 vehicles worldwide, and earned revenues of €28.75 billion with a total workforce of more than 77,000 employees. The division has achieved extensive synergies with the creation of a multi-brand development network, a global powertrain production system, and a worldwide procurement organization. By email

In a simulation the hub winch was tested both from a functionality as well as practicality point of view, a vehicle was driven into a section of deep black turf and well and truly bedded down. Within a few minutes the two base plates and spools were fitted onto the rear wheels, the straps laid out and the whole arrangement attached to a “dwarsbalk and anchor point. The vehicle engaged reverse gear and pulled away. The spools took up the slack and within 30 seconds the straps had rolled up onto the spools! The vehicle was on solid ground, all that remained was to clean the equipment and pack it away. And that did not take long either. When compared to the old “capstan” winches it is immediately apparent that this is a highly engineered version. A good deal of thought had gone into the design which covers all the permutations i.e. vehicles with traction control, diff-locks etc. as well as the types of wheels, studs and wheel size ,it can be fitted to nearly all types of vehicles including “soft” 4x4's, 4x2's, etc. The protection of very expensive alloy rims with the base plates and attaching bolts being covered in polypropylene and rubber has also been considered .The hub winch does not attach to the wheels via the existing studs as was the case with the older Capstan style winches and can be attached and removed from the wheels within a few minutes - even when off-road. The hub winches are neatly packed in specially designed cases with the attachment system, the necessary straps and the so called 'dwarsbalk'. The latter consists of six interlocking tubes with recovery points, the straps are attached to the “dwarsbalk” keeping them parallel when you are recovering, and this in turn is attached to a recovery point. All the standard safety requirements would need to be applied when in use, as with any form of recovery. Yet the system does not employ potentially lethal steel cables and is thus much safer to use. In the final analysis it's an engineered take on an old concept but it definitely has merit and will cost a lot less than a winch and replacement bumper. It is not permanently attached to the vehicle (no extra weight to the front suspension) and requires no modifications to a vehicle. What's more it does not impede airflow to the radiator. It's a South African product which, if correctly used, carries a five year warranty on metal components. Delivery is door to door via courier to all large towns and in the outlying areas, to the couriers' closest depot making it easily accessible.

Hyundai to rejoin the world of motorsport Hyundai ready to return to World Rally Championship Hyundai is poised to return to the FIA World Rally Championship (better known as the WRC) and has unveiled a rally-ready version based on the New i20 at the Paris Motor Show. The WRC is one of the world's toughest motorsport series, and the vehicle has been engineered to overcome the extreme terrains and weather conditions that competitors face. Following its withdrawal from motorsport in 2003, Hyundai's longterm goal was to set up an in-house WRC team in Europe and develop a performance rally car, resulting in the WRC i20's debut in Paris. Mark Hall, Marketing Director at Hyundai Motor Europe, commented: “The World Rally Championship is recognized as one of the most dramatic sporting series on Earth. It's a spectacle filled with excitement and dynamism – the perfect embodiment of the Hyundai brand. “The WRC also offers the most technologically diverse challenge for an automotive manufacturer. Our participation will demonstrate Hyundai's engineering excellence and durability, and will also help to enhance our road-going vehicles in future.” The company's involvement in the sport began in 1998, when it competed in the F2 class of the WRC for two seasons. In 1999, the team announced it would step up to the top class in 2000, with a fully developed WRC car based on the three-door Accent. At the end of 2003 season, after four years of WRC competition, Hyundai withdrew from the championship, embarking on its long-

term strategy to set up an in-house WRC team in Europe. The WRC is regulated and controlled by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body for worldwide motorsport. Current World Rally cars are based on 1,6-litre production models, and feature dramatic aerodynamic enhancements, 4x4 systems,

turbochargers, sequential gearboxes and other high-tech additions. As well as motorsport, Hyundai is proud to be associated with a number of other sports. A longterm, committed partner of football, Hyundai has been an official UEFA EUROTOP partner since 1999, with the current agreement extending until 2017, ensuring Hyundai's involvement at all major European Championship tournaments, including this summer's UEFA EURO 2012™. The company has also served as the official automotive supplier to FIFA-sanctioned events around the world since the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ in Korea and Japan, under an agreement that will take in tournaments up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ in Qatar. Hyundai is also the exclusive automotive sponsor of Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) ski jumping competitions around the world. The partnership will cover more than 80 ski-jumping events.

25 Oktober / October 2012

Die Graad 4 groep het van 16-18 Oktober hul jaarlikse plaasskool gehad. Dit was 'n wonderlike belewenis vir elke kind! Hulle het besoek afgelê in die Wiltuin, by die koffieplaas, sywurmplaas, Botaniesetuin en die Elephant Sanctuary waar elkeen 'n olifantsoentjie gekry het, maar die waardering het egter gewissel van persoon tot persoon. Die kinders wil graag hul ouers bedank vir die geleentheid asook elke betrokke persoon by die besoekpunte wat vir hulle meer van die plaaslewe en die natuur geleer het. Kontak met die olifante was verseker die vreesaanjaendste, maar ook die grootste oomblik van die toer! Vrydag was 'n hoogtepunt by Steelpoort Akademie. Eastern Chrome Mines het bome geskenk vir Boomplantdag en die leerders het bygedra deur elkeen plante en bome van die huis te bring. Die bome en plante is Vrydag reg oor die skoolgrond geplant. Dankie aan ECM vir hul betrokkenheid in die gemeenskap en vir elke kind se bydrae om die skool te verfraai!
