Lydenburg’s history creates excitement
The group at the historical and beautiful St. John’s Anglican Church in Lydenburg that’s history dates back to 1873.
Die landdroshuis, Bührmann en Langestraat, in Lydenburg was vir jare die spil waarom beskawing gedraai het. Van die oudste straatplanne van Lydenburg is in mnr. Hans Meyer se besit en van die erwe word reeds in 1856 aangedui. Die ou huis (bo in foto) is ook aangedui. Geskiedenisboeke dui daarop dat die huis aan Jacob de Clercq Jnr. (De Cercq straat) behoort het. Cornelius Potgieter het na De Clerque in 1860 landros geword en dit is nie duidelik of albei die huis bewoon het nie. Na sy dood is hy deur Arnold Jansen opgevolg. Jansen was 'n Hollander en is later met me. Anna Malan getroud. Daar word vermoed dat die huidige huise in Bührmann en Langestraat tussen 1930 en 1952 opgerig is. (Bron Lydenburg 1850-1950 Eeufeesgedenkboek en ou berigte).
Limomani(Huis van soet lemoene)
’n Groep kultuurentoesiaste vanaf Nelspruit het Lydenburg verlede Saterdag besoek. Hulle het die Lydenburg Museum, Voortrekkerkerk en skool, die ou NG kerk en verskeie ander historiese geboue en plekke op Lydenburg, onder leiding van historikus Marius Bakkes, besoek. Hulle is vergesel en voorgelig deur plaaslike kundiges mnr. J. P. Cilliers, oom Hans Meyer en Me. Gerda Whitehorn. Dit was duidelik dat die groep dié dag terdeë geniet het.Andre Coetzee.

‘Juffrou Hanna’ wins Excellence in Special Needs Education, National Teaching Awards Michelle Boshoff
B
Mrs Hanlie Swanepoel said that Valentine’s cards like these from her learners makes everything worth it.
eing a teacher is a calling from Above, and many teachers would agree. Especially the teacher who took her ‘calling’ one step further and realised her childhood dream. Mrs Hanlie Swanepoel from Estralita School in Lydenburg (known fondly as ‘Juffrou Hanna’) prayed and thought she would take the opportunity on her door step, not knowing that she would reach the top a few months later. On the advice from Mr Ruben Mpangane
(Manager Mashishing District) and her principal Mrs Nomusa Nkosi, she entered the National Teaching Awards (NTA) for Special Needs Education. After winning the district and the provincial levels Mr Mphangane reminded her every time: “What did I say?” He was sure that she would be a top candidate and reach top honours at district and provincial levels. She ‘flew’ through it and reached the nationals. She won the prestigious Excellence in Special Needs Education, Nation Teaching Awards 2012 . Her award was presented by President
Jacob Zuma and the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga. It was held at Gallagher Estate in Johannesburg last Thursday. “At 13 I became interested in special needs education as we lived close to an institution for the physically impaired. I have been at Estralita for 18 years and am now Acting Deputy Principal. This award is not only for me but for the whole district and province. It is for every child and colleague at Estralita. It will put Estralita on the map. “All the glory to God, my family, friends and colleagues who supported me,” said Mrs Swanepoel.

Four arrested for dealing in counterfeit cigarettes POLICE arrested four men for the possession and selling of counterfeit cigarettes. The Pakistani men, aged 27, 31, 35 and 36 were arrested by members of the K9 unit in Lydenburg, during the past week. 238 Cartons of cigarettes were confiscated in two separate cases.
“Be positive it will make a world of difference”
The Police are appealing to the community not to buy any counterfeit products from anyone. You are contributing to crime as well as unemployment by supporting people who are selling counterfeit goods.

O
ns taal is lekker. Bloot net lekker. Na al d i e d i s k o e r s g e s p re k k e b y d i e Woordfees te Stellenbosch was ek bloot bly dat Suid-Afrikaners ons taal interessant genoeg ag om 'n Woordfees te handhaaf en te hou, al vir die veertiende keer. Ek praat nou nie van al die doem-doef-ploefAfrikaanse-musiekfeeste, met kaggelkak op elke hoek, nie. Ek praat van 'n Woordfees en ja, ek het kaggelkak gesê. Gaan soek dit op in die HAT, dit is daar. In ’n onlangse epos, in Engels, het iemand kwyt geraak dat daar baie woorde in Afrikaans is wat eenvoudig net nie ’n Engelse plaasvervanger het nie. Een van die woorde is “sommer”. ’n Ander woord is “bakkie” - 'n bakkie kos. Nog op die lys is "voetstoots", "dwaal", "gogga", "gatvol", "hy sal sy gat sien", "jol", "muti", "padkos", “trapsuutjies”, “pap”, “loskop” is 'n ander gunsteling.
Anton Crossley from Lydenburg writes: I was standing in the line at the local Wimpy yesterday, to order a hamburger. Ahead of me in the queue was a spritely looking elderly gentleman, shortish, grey hair. I guessed to be mid/late 70's. He was addressing the lady serving him, in an English accent which I recognised. I tapped him on the shoulder. “You're from London” I said. “How'd you know, son?” he responded. “Cockney accent” I replied. “You visiting here?” “Yeah. Been here a couple days” “What do you think of Lydenburg?” I asked.
“Reminds me of London” he said I looked at him with disbelief. There's no resemblance I thought. Trying to not be impolite, I asked, “In what way?” “Reminds me of the blitz in 1941 when the Jerries were bombing the s...t out of us. London City was really in a bad shape. At night we had to close the curtains so the bombers could not find us. All the street lights were switched off” he explained. “Oh” I responded. “Yeah. Lydenburg reminds me of London during those times”
Brand your livestock asks SAPS
In Amanda Strydom, geliefde Afrikaanse sanger, se woorde... Ek kan rock in my taal Ek maak amok in my taal En ek kan skok in my taal Ek kan rock in my taal Police are making an appeal to all livestock owners to brand the stock. They are currently investigating stock theft cases where the lawful owners are unable to identify their stock because they are not branded.
En ek kan vry in my taal Ek kan rock in my taal Ek maak lawaai in my taal Ek word so kwaai in my taal Ek kan jou braai in my taal En ek kan rock in my taal
Theft out of motor vehicles
In my taal ‘bra’ en nie in Engels nie. Dit wat My Afrikaans uniek maak.
Uit die Woord From the Word ROMEINE 1:20 - Van die skepping van die wêreld af kan 'n mens uit die werke van God duidelik aflei dat sy krag ewigdurend is en dat Hy waarlik God is, hoewel dit dinge is wat 'n mens nie met die oog kan sien nie. Vir hierdie mense is daar dus geen verontskuldiging nie. Here, gee dat ons ons verantwoordelikheid teenoor U skepping sal nakom - Amen
Die Outoppie Skaam jou dood! IS Natuurbewaring nou finaal gedoem? Ek dink so. Vanaf 2010 is sowat 40 000 olifante in Afrika doodgemaak vir hulle tande. Sowat 5 000 renosters vir hulle horings. Onberekenbare hoeveelhede skaars plante vir muti. Tonne en tonne daarvan. Kyk 50/50. Sandmyners wat riviersand stroop, want dit “lê net daar”. Steenkool, goud, chroom en platinum myne wat waar hulle klaar is die aarde laat lyk of ’n atoombom dit getref het.
Residents are warned to take the necessary precautions when parking their vehicles in and around town. Theft out of motor vehicles remains a concern for law enforcement officials. Recent incidents of theft out of motor vehicles occurred around Voortrekker street and Lange street. Parking areas are also at risk. It is of utmost importance not to leave valuable items lying around in your vehicle.
Criminals are also still using remote control devices to stop you from locking your vehicle. Make sure your vehicle is locked before you walk away by physically checking that it is locked. On Monday 11 March a remote control device was used in the Pick & Pay parking area to stop the owner from properly locking his vehicle and a laptop was subsequently taken from the vehicle. Property targeted the most is cash, laptops, cell phones and handbags.

Laai Google Earth af op jou rekenaar en gaan kyk hoe lyk Phalaborwa, Witbank, Middelburg, Steelpoort, Burgersfort en Lydenburg. Verskroeide aarde met ’n giftige nalatenskap. Munisipaliteite wat varswater die hele dorp se strate vol laat loop want die pypnetwerk kom uit die apartheidsera sonder instandhouding. Asgate wat brand. Rou riool in die strate en riviere. ’n Vieslike varkboerdery net waar jy kyk! Vir die MTPA, Mpumalanga se natuurbewaringsorganisasie het politici gesê hulle moet vir die volgende jaar in die bos gaan wegkruip, want dit is verkiesingsjaar. Daar is net geld vir HOP huise, onderwys en gesondheid! Die feit dat die omgewing ons doodmaak en gevaarliker as misdaad is, word glad nie begryp nie. Dis hoekom ek na 32 jaar in natuurbewaring
in woede en afsku my goed gevat en geloop het. Waar kom hierdie houding van “toeeïening” of “ek is geregtig daarop” vandaan? Dit het niks met ras te doen nie. Afrikaners is ook baie skuldig daaraan. Kinders word in huise met geweld en ’n geskreeu groot. Wanneer groot ken hulle arrogansie en swak maniere geen perke nie. Hulle wil almal en alles domineer. Wat hulle doen en hoe hulle optree is reg en as iemand dit bevraagteken is hulle beledigend of wil bolle rol. Wat ’n kenmerk van lae intellek! Daar is geen begrippe soos empatie, “goodwill” etiket en maniere in sig nie. Gierigheid en sukses teen alle koste is die enigste maatstaf. Kompetisie. Dit word op skool al in die bloedjies se kele ingedruk. Prestasie is al wat tel. Ek is bevrees die hemel gaan baie leeg wees. Ek sien min verdienste vir ’n plekkie daar! Sies man! Julle behoort julle te skaam. Skaam julle dood!

Koerant help polisie misdaad bestry HUISINBREKERS en motordiewe het in die eerste week van Maart weer gewoeker in Lydenburg. Dit blyk dat die vergifting van honde ook weer opvlam, maar plaaslike SAPD lede het egter Donderdagaand 'n stokkie voor hulle planne gesteek Drie addisionele voertuie met administratiewe lede het die strate van Lydenburg patroleer saam met lede van sigbare polisiering. Gewapen met blou ligte en soekligte het ses offisiere verseker dat daar Donderdagaand geen huisbrake aangemeld is nie. Die offisiere het, in samewerking met die Highlands Panorama Nuus, die “Plakker projek” geloods. Die plakkers wat deur die Highlands Panorama geborg is, was gebruik om die gemeenskap se aandag te fokus op potensiele nalatige gedrag wat mag bydra tot die misdaad statistieke in Lydenburg. 35 Plakkers is geplak op hekke wat oopgestaan het. Verskeie hekke het wel kettings en slotte aangehad, maar dit blyk dat dit slegs “ornamente” is, aangesien die hekke wa-wyd oop staan deur die nag. Die offisiere het weereens fisies die hekke toegemaak en plakkers op die hekke aangebring om die inwoners attent te maak op hul nalatige gedrag. 12 Plakkers is geplak op voertuie wat oornag op sypaadjies geparkeer word. Een voertuig het selfs met oop vensters op 'n pikdonker sypaadjie in Nelstraat gestaan.
Nuwe Fortuners, Land Rovers, en Audi's word sommer oornag op sypaadjies gelos. Strate wat as “probleem area's” geidentifiseer is, sluit onder andere, Nic Schoeman str, Minnaar str, Goud str, Ruiter str, Nel str, Lydenburg str, Marais str, Finsbury str, Kerk str. en verskeie strate in die Heads in. Inwoners in hierdie gebiede moet asb hul samewerking gee en hulle erwe se hekke sluit. Verskeie hekke het wawyd oopgestaan terwyl duur motors, motorfietse en selfs 'n boot in die opritte staan. Ander kommerwekkende waarnemings: Te veel mense loop laatnag alleen in die strate rond. Die SAPD het by 5 mense gestop en hulle gevra hoekom hulle in die middel van die nag rondloop en het verskonings gekry soos, “ek het honger geword en garage toe geloop vir ietsie om te eet” (10 uur in die aand), “ek kom van die werk af en is oppad na my suster toe” (net voor 1 uur in die oggend), “ek het 'n jeug byeenkoms bygewoon en is nou oppad huistoe (1 uur in die oggend), “ek kan nie slaap nie, daarom stap ek bietjie, ek doen dit gereeld” (11 uur in die aand). Donker strate is nog steeds een van die mees bydraende faktore tot ons misdaadsyfer. Buiten die feit dat straatligte in meeste dele van Sektor 2 buite werking is, skakel inwoners glad nie buiteligte aan nie. Dit maak dit baie moeilik vir enige mens om van die straat af te kan sien of daar ongewenste karakters in 'n erf rondloop, skuil of kwaad doen. In sommige strate is tot 4 huise langs mekaar pik donker en bebos.
Daar is egter wel waargeneem dat een of twee inwoners wel die polisie se pleidooie om ligte aan te skakel ernstig opneem. Vir hierdie inwoners wil ons bedank omdat hulle 'n bydra lewer tot s uks es volle misdaadvoorkoming Dit is egter steeds kommerwekkend dat inwoners in veral die area rondom die Lydenburg Laerskool nog steeds geen poging aanwend om hul huise te belig nie. Ons probleem areas die afgelope ses maande is nog steeds die area rondom Finsbury- en Nel strate. Ons doen 'n

beroep op inwoners om hande te vat met die SAPD in 'n poging om misdadige aktiwiteite in hierdie areas te bekamp. Die publiek word gevra om saam te staan en hul buurte te beveilg. Buurtwagstelsels kan op die been gebring word, maar daarvoor het ons bereidwillige en gemotiveerde inwoners nodig. Inwoners kan gerus vir Kaptein Koos Helberg kontak by 013-235 1311 x 255 vir meer
inligting omtrent die Buurtwagstelsel. Ons beoog om op 'n gereelde basis soortgelyke optredes te hou. RED: Onverantwoordelike optrede soos dié lok in werklikheid misdadigers, so die traak-my-nie-agtige houding raak nie net vir u nie, maar u optrede maak dit moeilik vir ons almal. Ons dank aan die polisie wat omgee.

Martins het haar toe ondersteun deur kolwyntjies te koop en die lekkernye aan Rusoord te skenk. Op die foto’s geniet Rusoord se inwoners die lekker bederfie. Indien die publiek die projek wil ondersteun, skakel gerus vir Martins Begrafnisdienste by 084 587 5666. Rusoord bedank almal vir die lekker bederf en bedank ook graag vir Martins met die projek om fondse vir die grafsteen in te samel. Jeanetta Kruger en Andrea Coetzee.

Ou bome deel van historiese erfenis
HIERDIE reuse palmboom op die hoek van Voortrekker en De Beerstrate is ’n tyd gelede deur die weer raak geslaan. Die reuse boom troon dubbel so hoog as die meeste mooi bome in De Beerstraat uit. Die pragwoning, Camdeboo, wat 115 jaar oud is, behoort tans aan Kobus en Roelien Joubert. Hierdie woning op erf 108 en die aangrensende drie erwe (106 en 107) was vanaf 1904 in besit van mnr. Carel Theodorus Rabie, vader van mnr. David Christoffel van der Merwe Rabie en oupa van die bekende mnr. Pieter Rabie, boer van Lydenburg. Carel was een van die stigterslede van Lydenburg en was ’n prokureur wat die hele distrik tot sover as Pilgrims Rest bedien het. Hy was ook verantwoordelik vir die aanplant van die pragboom. C.T. Rabie (Snr) w a s a f g e s i e n v a n p r o k u r e u r, o o k Stadsraadslid van Lydenburg, Burgermeester en Volksraadslid. Camdeboo is in 1898 deur ene Frank McLachlan gebou. Lydenburg het afgesien van sy ryk historiese erfenis van ou geboue, ook verskeie bome gehad wat meer as 100 jaar gelede aangeplant was. Wie kan nog die laning bloekombome op pad visserye toe en die laning in Viljoenstraat naby die woonwapark onthou? Gelukkig is van hierdie bome soos die “monkey puzzle” in Wenakker se terrein, nog behoue. Ou bome word dikwels summier afgekap omdat hulle wortels paaie en plaveisels oplig, of omdat hulle uitheems is, of om plek te maak vir nuwe ontwikkeling, sonder dat mense besef die “ou” tuine is deel van ons historiese erfenis.

Disability Forum reaching new heights
The Thaba Chweu Disablitiy Forum at a meeting last Thursday.
T
HE Thaba Chweu Disability Forum and its stakeholders held a successful meeting last Thursday to get their agenda and program on track for 2013. The Thaba Chweu disability forum was formed by the municipality and is facilitated by them in order to achieve public participation, good governance and accountability on challenges facing people with disability. The Forum was launched on the 27 November 2012 and the 12 members are representatives from each disability organisation and/ or centre. The disability organisations and centres include: Estralita School, Wenakker, Ama wheelies, DPSA, DeafSA, Impumelo, Masibambisane, Leroro Motlatse, Ikageng, Ipepeng, Ithuteng, and Moremela. To identify gaps in service provision and act as a subcommittee of the IDP forum of the Thaba Chweu Local Municipality to ensure disability mainstreaming in IDP (integrated development plan)
Focus areas include: Employment: there is serious lack of employment opportunities for the disabled and a high level of discrimination against them. Transport: there is lack of accessible public transport for the physically challenged. Housing: houses are often not accessible to people with disabilities. Includes RDP's. Accessibility: most public and private buildings are not designed to carter for the needs of the disabled. Public schools are often not designed to be accessible for people with disabilities. Funding: there is a lack of adequate funding to support disability-related initiatives. There are not enough awareness programs implemented which could curb misconceptions about people with disabilities. Sport development is very important for Mpumalanga and its tourism industry.

COTY Award shocker!
embarrassment for Wesbank as the sponsor and indeed for every manufacturer who took part.
Range Rover Evoque Si4 Dynamic 5dr - 181
About the only thing they got half right was a high score for the Toyota 86, but again that car was not compared to anything similar. It is by a long shot the best car in its class. Same with Kia Rio. It was unfairly disadvantaged.
The South African Guild of Motoring Journalists have totally lost the plot. The competition is all wrong. How can you compare a Porsche to a Kia? How can you THIS year's South African Car of the Year competition has produced a shock include a double cab bakkie in this competition? result, with the Porsche Boxster becoming the first sports car to win the Incidentally, the public overwhelmingly chose the excellent Ford Ranger as the prestigious prize. The winner of the competition, sponsored by WesBank and winner, with the Kia Rio a strong second. Having personally tested both these conducted by the SA Guild of Motoring Journalists, was announced at a gala dinner vehicles as well as most of the others, I concur that the public was right and the at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg on 6 March. SAGMJ got totally wrong. Porsche should give the trophy back! FINAL SCORING This result however, makes the Ford look decidedly bad and will damage its reputation. Ford should sue the SAGMJ! Porsche Boxster - 221 votes
Toyota 86 High Spec - 177 Kia Rio 1.4 TEC Hatch - 144
A car competition should be simple and logical. Compare (size for size) a Lexus, Audi, Mercedes, VW CC and BMW in one class. The Golf, Astra, Hyundai i30, Chev Cruze and Alfa in another and VW Polo, Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent and Chevy
Lexus GS 350 EX - 143 Hyundai i30 1.8 Executive - 106 BMW 320i Automatic - 104 Nissan Juke 1.6 DIG-T Tekna (leather) - 79 Opel Meriva 1.4T Cosmo - 67 Ford Ranger 3.2 XLT 4X4 DC AT - 56 Toyota Yaris 1.5 HSD Xs - 47 Mercedes-Benz B180 CDI 7G-DCT - 35 This is no doubt proving to be a controversial result, many arguing that a niche car like the Boxster is not enough of an 'all-rounder' to win the title, but if one looks at the guild's definition of a Car of the Year winner then it is totally legitimate. Primarily, the SA COTY competition, which has been run each year since 1986, rewards automotive excellence and the winning vehicle must score highly in its own class, not against the other finalist vehicles, as is often thought, across a variety of categories including value for money, safety, dynamics, technology and aesthetics. The Boxster has redefined its market segment, according to the jury of 30 motoring journalists, and “raised the bar in terms of performance, dynamics, quality, value and desirability”, to beat the other 11 finalists for top honours.
S o n i c i n a n o t h e r . C o m p a r e Nissan’s Micra with i10, Spark and Picanto. Compare the Ranger with Hilux, Amarok, Isuzu, Mazda BT 50 and Navara. Compare a Porsche with a GTR, Lambo or Ferrari.
The points-scoring system used for the South African competition is similar to that used in the European COTY equivalent. But whereas many of these international competitions simply ask the jury members to cast a vote based on their previous experiences, our competition sees the jury members pit each of the finalists through stringent testing at the Gerotek testing facility in Gauteng. This year, for the first time, the jury also voted to apply an equaliser to the results after a number of finalist manufacturers failed to adhere to the Car of the year rule of supplying vehicles in standard specification for evaluation purposes. Many of the test vehicles featured what the jury believed to be unreasonable levels of optional equipment. In some cases this included technological innovations that improve the vehicle's ride and handling characteristics. The cars in question were evaluated and voted for in the condition in which they were delivered; however the guild then applied a mathematical equation to the final votes in order to compensate for any advantage that the vehicles may have gained due to their increased spec levels. motoring.co.za ED: This is indeed the worst news in our motoring history ever. There is no doubt that the Porsche is undeniably a good car. But the result is an

More COTY fallout FOLLOWING on the SA Guild of Motoring Journalists (of which I am fortunately not a member) major mess with the COTY awards (see previous page), motoring pages and websites are inundated with comments and scathing attacks on this dubious competition. The matter could be considered a joke, but it actually is a huge embarrassment for Wesbank as a vehicle financing body, to have their name connected to this farce as a sponsor. The same goes for Porsche management (the brand of which I hold in high esteem) to solemnly sit and receive the trophy and bask in its glory. By implication they are now part of this massive, but costly joke. Let us analyse the competition: By its own accord, the SAGMJ says that it did not compare a double cab to a sportscar, but that each car was individually scored. Ne! So, because the Boxter could not be compared to another sportscar it was sub-consciously compared to a Kia, hence the points difference. So, all the mathematical formulae and complicated rules are just a ruse to hide the subjectivity of the competition. Why not simplify the whole issue and admit that the Porsche handled better, had the best suspension, was the safest, looked the best and was without a doubt the best entrant. That would have been believable. That would have added credibility to the contest. But look carefully at the results. The Kia Rio was better than a Lexus GS 350 EX. Really? Here’s a tip Kia, you should charge R 500 000 for your Rio, because you are sitting with a car here that is better than a Lexus, a BMW and a Mercedes! Struth, the COTY competition and the SAGMJ gurus have proven that. Another tip, Toyota, you should discontinue the Yaris. It is rubbish. It came second last. Really, the SAGMJ said so. The Opel Meriva (and I am an Opel fan) is a niche vehicle. It may be good, and I think it is because I tested it, but sorry, it is not popular. Yet it is better than a Ford Ranger Double Cab. COTY proved that. You think? The Hyundai i30 is much better than the extremely popular and capable Nissan Juke. The SAGMJ thinks so. I need not go on. The media (owners and editors) should look at their motoring journalists (because they pay the salaries). These guys cannot distinguish a dipstick from a spark plug, by the look of things. They are impressed by electronic gadgets. Driving aids that park cars automatically impress them. All the techno junk that breed stupid, half asleep drivers, impress them. Electric power steering impresses them. They do not seem to understand the mechanics of hydraulic systems. Sponsors and manufacturers should come up with a new COTY competition. One that is in line with public thinking. One with credibility.

Hyundai i20 now Wen by Falcon available with turbodiesel power Lydenburg THE addition of Hyundai Automotive South Africa's new i20 1.4 CRDi Glide to its passenger car range, has created the most complete line-up of a Hyundai model locally. The Hyundai i20 range now boasts five derivatives – topped by the new 1.4 CRDi Glide with its turbodiesel engine. In 2012 Hyundai launched the popular i20 in a revised and refreshed form – both inside and out – which heightened its appeal to a new, younger group of car buyers. Then, towards the end of last year, the entry-level i20 1.2 Motion – with an impressive list of standard features was added to the range to satisfy the needs of buyers in this segment, who had to keep their eyes firm on their budget. The entry of the new 1.4 turbodiesel derivative to the i20 range now creates even more choice and is expected to increase the substantial market share that this small hatch back model already enjoys in its segment. It is a fitting way to finish off Hyundai Automotive SA's most comprehensive model range with an attractive flagship derivative. As with its i20 siblings, the new 1.4 CRDi Glide boasts a long list of standard equipment and convenience features – with the important added benefit of a substantially lower price than its direct competitors. The value offered by the new addition to the i20 range is evident when its comprehensive specification list is compared with those of its competitors. By email

The truth about safety belts and pregnant women DESPITE some pregnant women's worry that seat belts or airbags could harm a baby in an accident, expectant mothers who are not wearing a seatbelt during a car crash are more likely to lose the baby, according to a US study. The results, which appeared in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, reinforce the findings of other studies that link seat belts with better chances of keeping both mother and baby alive. Senior author Haywood Brown, the chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Duke University Medical Centre, said: “One thing we're always concerned about is educating patients on seatbelt use. “Nonetheless, like all individuals, some choose and some do not choose to wear their seatbelt.” To get a better sense of which women don't use seatbelts and how that affects the outcome of their pregnancies, Brown and his colleagues searched through a trauma registry at Duke University Hospital. They found 126 cases of women in their second and third trimesters who had been in a car crash and cared for at the hospital between 1994 and 2010. Three foetuses, or 3.5 percent, died among the 86 mothers who were wearing a seatbelt during the accident. Another three - 25 percent in this case - died among the 12 mothers who were not wearing a seatbelt. “The worst thing you can do is have the mother get hurt.” Kathleen DeSantis Klinich, a researcher at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, who wasn't part of the study, agreed: “The best way to protect the mother and protect the baby is to have the mother wear a seatbelt.” The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that seat belts should be worn at all times, and the lap belt should be fitted low across the hip bones, below the belly. Women without a seatbelt were more likely to be first-time mothers than those who wore a seatbelt. Brown said it was possible that the habit of buckling in children might prompt mothers to put on their own seatbelt. FATAL CONDITION Airbags came out in 17 of the accidents, and in those cases the mother was more likely to experience the placenta separating from the uterus - a condition that can be fatal for the mother or the child. Catherine Vladutiu, a researcher at the University of North Carolina who was not involved with this research, said it was likely the airbag itself was not to blame for such serious consequences. She said: “The airbag is a function of how severe the crash was, so it's hard to ease out whether that had any direct effect.”
Remote jamming on the increase THERE has been an increase in the number of criminals who block cars’ central locking signals. The crime, which they say has become a trend, is so common that Cape Town officers apprehend an average of 10 criminals a month. Criminals watch motorists parking in the CBD and as they activate their central locking, the criminals press another electronic device, which blocks the signal of the car’s remote control. Once the motorist has walked away, the criminal then climbs into the unlocked car and steals the owner’s possessions. Muneeb Hendricks, said the trend took root in other CBDs around the country. It had taken off in the Cape Town CBD from October. “People often look away or activate their alarm while walking away and they don’t notice that the car hasn’t been locked. “The alarm lights will go off but people need to check that doors are locked or use the keys to close their cars,” Hendricks said. He said security officers regularly caught people jamming alarms. Hendricks said the two main crime challenges in the CBD were alarm-jamming and theft in restaurants. He said people had to be more vigilant with their belongings and not leave bags on the floor or their cellphones on counters. “Criminals are opportunistic. The Cape Town CBD has 220 security officers who patrol the streets 24 hours a day and also work with the South African Police Service and metro police on crime prevention and other operations. “If people know they are being watched from all angles then they will realise there is no opportunity to commit crime,” Hendricks said.
“I would err on the side of considering it an indicator of crash severity.”
Hendricks added: “Crime is everyone’s problem but property owners and the public need to take ownership.
Brown said that some women disarmed the airbag for fear that it would damage the baby in case of a crash, but “it's not the smart thing to do because it will save your life if the airbag comes out.”
“If anything happens they need to inform the police so we can put the resources in areas where there are complaints.”
Klinich agreed, noting that her research had found that airbags, if anything, were beneficial because they protected the mother. “The bottom line is, you've got to wear your restraint because it decreases the risk not only for your injuries but injury to your child,” Brown said. - Reuters iol.motoring.co.za

Nissan Micra very cool! NISSAN's innovative 'My Ride, My Rules' campaign is proving to be a South African social media sensation, elevating the Micra to new levels of coolness and personifying the company's philosophy of 'Innovation that Excites'. The campaign, launched late last year, invites people to demonstrate their creativity and individuality by designing their very own Micra on Nissan's Facebook page. As well as a uniquely branded fleet of Nissan Micras stirring up attention and mass public interest at a series of live events, the campaign has led to Nissan more than doubling its Facebook 'Likes' to over 37,000. Following the holiday activations which took place during the December period in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Plettenberg Bay and Durban as well as a radio drive in January, the campaign has followed on with student-focused activations as the academic year kicked off in February. With the Facebook-based competition speaking to the youthful and hip individuals who are used to expressing their lifestyles and personalities with the car they drive, Nissan's Facebook statistics have shot through the roof as a result of the increased activity. With just over 11 100 'likes' on the Nissan Facebook page before the start of the campaign, the end of February saw a total of over 25 500 total 'likes', 14 400 of them being accumulated in just over ten weeks. Page activity, measured in a talk-to-likes ratio, is also high at 19.09% - nearly double the 10% threshold which is considered to be a good ratio. The design competition, which invites creative individuals to personally design their own Nissan Micra on the Nissan Facebook page, seeks to encourage people from all walks of life to express their personalities, views and passion in a virtual design environment. Entrants can change colours and create a unique mix of decals – with thousands of combinations available, the scope to create completely unique Micra is endless. The grand prize: a new Nissan Micra, branded with the winner's very own design! Janico Dannhauser, Product Marketing Manager for Passenger Vehicles at

With holiday makers having enjoyed the campaign in December and the country's students now enjoying the Micra activations at RAG processions and student parties, there is no doubt that the Micra has realised a new level of coolness.” Competition entries are open until 31 March 2013 and entering is easy.

SLEGS 65km vanaf Lydenburg lê die skilderagtige en idilliese dorpie van Waterval Boven. Huise in die dorp kan nog as baie bekostigbaar beskou word. Kooppryse wissel tussen R350 000 en R700 000. Soortgelyke eiendom elders wat dieselfde fasiliteite bied verhandel tans tussen R900 000 en R1,8 miljoen. Die volgende vergelykende somme wat aankoopprys, oordragkostes en maandelikse verband paaiemente betref kan gemaak word. (sien kolomme onder). Boven bied potensiële kopers die geleentheid om met 'n Bruto inkomste van R15 000 - R18 000 p.m 'n eie huis te kan besit! Sommige banke bied nog 100% lenings aan. Boven has much to offer to the potential / future property owner, and especially nature lovers, in the form of hiking trails, (9 km along the Elandsriver), trout fishing, mountain biking, rock climbing, hang gliding, game viewing and bird watching. An exciting Multi Billion development is, 'on the
cards' regarding the future development of the town and surrounding area – Refer Google – Kaplan Consultants Emgwenya – page 54 for more information. It is considered safe to venture outdoors after dark with the family or take the dog for a walk. The mild climate is ideal for the health of the aged. Boven is rich in history dating back to the relics of the Anglo Boer War. The distance between Boven and Lydenburg – past the picturesque Kwena Dam can be traveled in less than 45 min. Often quicker than it takes people staying in JHB to travel to their work only 10 km’s away. Ons gee om en wil u baie graag help en bystaan. Gerrie Coetzee: Sel no 078 612 5276
