HE Thaba Chweu Municipality came prepared on Tuesday 2 July with answers. This was after residents stormed into a council meeting two weeks ago following days without power in Lydenburg. A list of questions was presented to TCM council members and the Executive Mayor Mike Ncongwane. It was also published in the Highlands Panorama News last week. (Continued on page 3).

Time to stand together
(Continues from page 1) Some irate residents and businesses owners however did not give the delegates with the answers, a chance to give them. Mr Leon de Jager had to remind residents several times that the meeting needs to take place in good faith. The police and TCM asked the masses to meet outside at first because they were not sure if they could control everyone inside. The group of protesters were represented well, coming from Lydenburg, Mashishing, Kellysville, farms etc. The masses however refused to stay outside and stormed into the council room. And what would a mass meeting be without toi-toi and singing. Mr Leon de Jager led the series of questions with the TCM representatives ready with answers. The crowed burst into applause when a business owner brought his own sound system after complaints that everyone in the hall could not hear. It is not clear why TCM did not provide a sound system. Mayor Ncongwane said “baie dankie vir die hulp.” The Rooidraai Sub Station was broken into last year and vandalized. TCM are still trying to Die twee motorfietse by die Lydenburg SAPD replace a lot of circuit breakers and other DIE SAPD Lydenburg, het laasweek ’n steeds hulle motorfietse toe te sluit en met electrical equipment. stap gevorder in die bekamping van die a l a r m s e n a n d e r v e i l i g h e i d s - e n In addition to this the ageing equipment is to geweldige vlaag motorfietsdiefstalle in opsporingstoestelle toe te rus, om sodoende blame.

Andre Coetzee Another question was surrounding qualified Die Honda en Yamaha is maar twee van die
tot sewe motorfietse wat tans per week in en om Lydenburg gesteel word. Die fietse sal gefynkam word vir vingerafdrukke en ander leidrade in die soektog na die belhamels. Tydens die vorige week is ’n BMW ook in die veld opgespoor. Ons hoop dat hierdie sindikaat of sindikate eersdaags hulle moses sal teekom. Baie geluk aan Kol Hans Putter en sy span, met hierdie herwinnings. Lydenburgers word intussen aangeraai om
electricians, and according to TCM there is no foreseeable problem with qualified staff. The current electricians are qualified but yet again: “The ageing equipment will need specialised technical staff.” It was also stated that “fault finding conditions are unique.” TCM is also currently providing a generator at the water works in case the power does go off. This will ensure continuous water pumping and supply. Rooidraai has been identified as a medium term solution. Sewerage spillages were addressed but no sufficient answers were given. According to a study by the Ehlanzeni District Municipality the water filters are dirty and that is why water is brown. Over 2000 residents are not paying their accounts. This is a huge problem in the collection of revenue. TMC said that although a lot of new developers are continuously paying, the money needs to be distributed to different departments and can not only go to basic services. Load shedding may take place in the next few weeks but TCM promised to publish a schedule in the media to warn residents. One of the estate agents made it clear that a big section of the town has been without water for three days. TCM said that it was not reported therefore they could not give attention to the problem. TCM's biggest problems are however that it is overstaffed with unqualified people, poor revenue collection, ageing equipment and problems too big to solve in a few months. What came through is that there is no definite plan and that TCM is still playing a wait-andsee game. One positive spin-off was that it was clear that at least people are now speaking with one voice and that TCM is prepared to listen. (Michelle Boshoff)

IF Thaba Chweu's Business Chambers would unite in a forum representing the communities in the area, they could make a difference in the functioning of the municipality. This was the advice of Themba Dladla, executive officer of COGTA Mpumalanga who recently addressed a Business Chamber gathering facilitated by the AHI in Graskop. Dladla explained the concept of the new BAaM (Business Adopt a Municipality) initiative, undertaken by the Department of Governance (DCoG) to work in partnership with the private sector, business chambers and State Owned Entities. This initiative will focus on improving five key areas in local municipalities –
KOPENHAGEN. Die standbeeld van die klein meermin. Hans Christian Andersen. Met dié dat ek soos Sarel Seemonster van Wielie-Walie-faam dreunsing... 'stories is my lewe' sal Kopenhagen my droomstad wees in Europa. Verlede week het ek vir 'n vriend wat reeds in Swede en dan Denemarke is, Marius Dieperink, bietjie gaan nalees oor sy komende vakansie na sy konferensie vir die Doktoraal in Helsinki. Ek sien myself sit op Nyhaven met 'n ou biertjie en teem in die verte, Kopenhagen se atmosfeer om my. En veral omdat Hans Christian Andersen ook seker baie van sy inspirasie uit hierdie stad geput het. Sprokiesboeke kan ek nie weerstaan nie. Van die Grimm-broers, Hans Christian Andersen en ander skrywers se sprokies verslind ek al van kleins af. Soos die karakters uit die sprokies verrys, raak ek dieper gesement in 'n verbeeldingswêreld. Ag, onthou julle nog die opskrifte: 'Potter gevaarlik vir kinders' en 'Heksery met Harry Potter'. Loutere snert. Die hele wêreld was in opstand. Party het net die gevare gelees in sy bonatuurlike dade, maar nie besef dat dit 'n leeskultuur gekweek het by kinders nie. Kan nog goed onthou hoe ek as jong leser geril het van vrees en lekkerkry met Brolloks en Bittergal, regte Afrikanergees stories. Net so was die sprokie van die Keiser se Nuwe Klere. Dié Grimm-sprokie (vir die rekenaarbarbare wat nie meer sprokies ken nie) vertel van 'n ydele keiser aan wie twee mense hulself as ontwerpers verkoop. Vir die keiser beloof hulle 'n kleed wat dun geweef is. Die keiser besef nie dat daar eintlik geen werklike materiaal is nie en verskyn poedelnakend voor sy volk. Shrek is 'n moderne sprokie. Die geliefde groen mannetjie, en Donkie met sy kwinkslae wat jou laat lag. Wie onthou nog Jakkals-en-Wolf-stories, Hasie Kalbassie, Brommer en By, Tyl Uilspieël, wat dit so geniet om menslike swakhede aan die kaak te stel, en talle ander ander. Ook Repelsteeltjie en Die Lelike Eendjie. Van drama tot tragedie, van lekker lag tot lekker huil. Afrikaners is lief vir hulle stories. Sprokies is reisgenote. Van my ander gunstelinge is C. J. Langenhoven se kleindorpse gedoentes met Herrie op die óú Tremspóór.
to the editor
van ons oumense in Lydenburg. Daar word niks vir hulle gedoen om te help of hulle lewe bietjie beter te maak of op te kikker nie. Dis altyd net die Rusoord ouetehuis wat alles kry. Dink asb ook hoe die ander twee arm ouetehuise gehelp kan word deur projekte.
Voertuigtoetse is tops
voertuigtoetse. En dink een en almal van die breë publiek het waardering daarvoor. Het u al gedink om op ’n jaarlikse basis ’n opsomming van die toetse saam te stel. Net ’n voorbeeld en gedagte in die kategorieë Model, Prys, Masjien, KW/Torque.
Babbelkous Gholfdag op 20 Julie Babbelkousies bied ’n Bubble & Squeak Gholfdag aan op 20 Julie by die Lydenburg Gholfdag in IPS formaat. Die wins gaan aangewend word vir die opgradering van die skool. Adverteer u besighede hierdeur, hulle benodig borge en pryse. ’n Putjie kos R1 500 wat ’n vierbal en ete insluit. ’n Bof kan ook geborg word teen R500 wat nie ’n ete of vierbal insluit nie. Andersins beloop kostes R180 per speler. Skakel Amanda: 082 226 6048 vir meer inligting.
Kol 4:6:"Wat julle sê, moet altyd vriendelik wees en van goeie smaak getuig; en julle moet weet hoe julle elkeen behoort te antwoord." Vader, gee dat ons nie onvriendelik en negatief sal wees nie en dat die woorde wat uit ons monde kom, mooi sal wees - Amen.
HIERDIE winter was ek lekker windgat. Drink my vitamien C, dra my onderhempie, bly uit die koue uit en van die motorfiets af en kyk hoe al die ander ouens hoes en proes en griep en iepekonerjaaites kry, terwyl ek lekker gesond bly. Maar ek moes geweet het. Van windgatgeit kom gewoonlik niks.

Die Outoppie
Infrastructure, Governance, Local Economic Development, Financial Management and Capacity Building. The objective is to provide more support to municipalities through healthy partnerships between government and private sector. A memorandum of understanding was signed with the AHI enabling Business Chambers to assist local municipalities where needed. Chambers can now approach COGTA with proposals to get the ball rolling in their own areas. A group approach, combining all towns in Thaba Chweu, will help COGTA to identify businesses to partner with. In this way Chambers can collectively help to solve problems in the broader municipality, Dlala said.
Heila Dreyer en Mitzi Stolz van Lydenburg skryf: Baie dankie aan Martins Begrafnisdienste vir die professionele wyse en simpatie waarmee hulle ons ma se begrafnis hanteer het.
Rusoord behandel ons soos goud Me. Etrisha Nel van Rusoord skryf: EK wil graag saamstem met Maureen Brink. Ek bly al sewe jaar in Rusoord Tehuis vir Bejaardes en is baie gelukkig en baie dankbaar vir wat vir my en die res gedoen word. Ek wil vir Jeanetta en At Kruger ook baie dankie sê vir alles. Hou so aan ons is lief vir julle, asook al die personeel. Sterkte vir die res van die jaar.

Laas Woensdag toe het ek so ’n ligte hoesie. ’n Kuggie. Donderdagoggend lewer ek nog my roete se koerante af. Teen elfuur toe weet ek, hier is nou moeilikheid! Die kuggie word ’n hoes. Ek gooi my pyp weg en drink ’n pil. Teen Donderdagaand smaak dit my iemand het my gegryp en druk al die asem uit my. So om my longe. Soos ’n erge asma aanval. Of ’n moerse groot rugbyspeler! Dit was die mees ongewone gevoel ooit. Nie soos verkoue met ’n loopneus en hoes nie. Nie soos griep met erge kopseer
en lyfseer nie. Nee, net die kwaai klamp om my longe. Teen Sondag kon ek darem weer bietjie asem haal en teen Maandag kon ek weer die pyp opstart. En so klink dit my vat hierdie winter se griep of wat jy dit ookal wil noem, almal op ’n ander manier as vorige jare. Die simptome is heel anders as ander jare. En dit is nie lekker nie. Miskien is dit nie griep nie, maar ’n soort longvliesontsteking of bromkaaitjies? Party mense het ander simptome soos oorontsteking of kap ’n ander “error”, maar niemand loop met die tradisionele verkoue en griepsimptome nie. Wat ’n snaakse wêreld leef ons in? So, as ek nie vir jou lekker lyk nie, is dit omdat ek effe olik is hoor!
Nuus / News OP Dinsdag 25 Junie, om 3 uur die middag het 'n brand agter Lelievlei onstaan. Die vuur het baie gou die hele Lelievlei omring en die inwoners was vasgekeer in Lelievlei. Daar is net een toegangspad na Lelievlei en die vuur het die pad versper. Vrouens en kinders was vreesbevange en het inderhaas hulle besittings uit die huise verwyder. Hulle het met nat komberse die vuur geblus. Frik Rousseau, Direkteur van Lelievlei, het visserye personeel ontbied en hulle het onmiddelik gekom met hulle brandslaantoerusting en gehelp om die vuur te blus. Frik het spesifiek vir Philemon Makwana, William Maphanga en Joseph Mbiba bedank vir hulle hulp en genoem dat hulle jare ondervinding het om veld vure te blus. Hy (Rousseau) is baie dankbaar dat niemand beseer is nie en dat die vuur nie in die aand uigebreek het nie. Hy het ook die inwoners van Lelievlei bedank dat hulle dapper teen die vuur geveg het. Dit is die tweede keer hierdie jaar dat 'n vuur naby Lelievlei onstaan. Baie skade is aangerig aan plastiese besproeiingspype, komberse en sitbanke. Die vuur is sentimeters van die Wendyhuise gestop. Die rook was al so dig dat die inwoners mekaar nie meer kon sien of hoor nie.

Nog ’n stap nader aan Turn2God
Donderdagaand het die Turn2God organiseerders weer 'n funksie gehou om dit aan nog mense van die gemeenskap bekend te stel, by die Lydenburg Gholfklub. Dit was hoofsaaklik sakemanne wat gevestigde besighede in die dorp het. Wilma Griesel het hierdie een gereël. Daar was ’n groot gekuier na die tyd. Turn2God is die fondsinsamelingsaksie vir die Tebelo Childcare Village. Vrae wat gevra was, was hoofsaaklik oor die sigbaarheid van die fondse en wie die sentrum gaan bestuur. Ds. Fred Wilson het geantwoord dat gevestigde persone in Lydenburg op die direksie sal dien en dat daar 'n oorhoofse organisasie sal wees wat ten alle tye toegang tot die bestuurmetodes en hantering van gelde sal hê. Daar is gesmul aan 'n aartappel-en-speksop wat bedien was met vars broodrolle en mini-vetkoeke. Van die geborgde sjerrie, deur Platdak Drankwinkel en Lydenburg SuperSPAR, wat oorgebly het van die vorige funksie, is geskink.
• Saterdag 3 Augustus vanaf 08:00. “Shack vol Drome’ dag by Rooikatpark Lydenburg. R100 per stalletjie. Sensei Malisa en Coach Lizle hou 'n dakslaap-uithou maraton en word per uur geborg. Kom kyk gerus of die twee lawwe vroue die koue nag op die dak sal kan deurvoer. Motorhandelaars, huisagente en privaatondernemings sê mekaar die stryd aan met die bou van hulle maatskappy shack met hulle drome en die skoolhoofde en hul gades doen beoordeling, en dis nie die einde van hulle stryd nie. Die Saterdag sê hulle mekaar die stryd van boeresport in spanne van vier aan. Skoolkore lewer uitvoering, die Luiperds Karate gee vertonings en die Luiperd Pappa's bied met trots aan :”Lydenburg Proesstraat” Hope stalletjies, eetgoed en alle interessante dinge word beplan.

Toer die droom
OP 4 Julie kom die ‘Toer die droom’ Fietstoer’ in Lydenburg aan en samel die middag vanaf 16h00 (dalk vroeer, afhangende hoe laat hulle van Belfast af kom) tot 18h00 by die Longtom Spar fondse in. Auto Pedigree is die titelborg asook Menlyn en Hervormde Gemeente Welgelegen Pietersburg, wat elk meer as R10 000 geborg het. Die Toer die Droom Fietstoer is 'n inisiatief wat die afgelope 32 jaar deur die Universiteit van Pretoria se Philadelphia studentegemeenskap onderneem word. In hierdie tyd is daar al ongeveer R1 miljoen ingesamel en uitgedeel. Ons belê in die toekoms van minderbevoorregte mense en kinders in en om Pretoria omgewing en beoog om R500 000 in te samel in 2013. Die volgende projekte word ondersteun uit die fondse wat ingesamel word: 'n Terapeutiese kamp vir getraumatiseerde kinders, georganiseer deur Die Ondersteuningsraad, 'n geregistreerde welsynsorganisasie. Ons beplan om 100 mishandelde kinders die jaar tydens die kamp te huisves teen R900 per kind. KIN (Kinders In Nood), 'n projek waardeur studente kinders wat deur die Jakaranda Kinderhuis gehuisves word, op 'n weeklikse basis besoek en hulp verleen word waar moontlik. TLF (Tshwane Leadership Foundation), is toegewyd om gesonde en lewenslustige gemeenskappe in behoeftige stedelike areas te vestig. DPS Huise (Diakonale Pleegsorg Huise), sluit in pleegsorg huise of plekke van veiligheid vir verwaarloosde en mishandelde kinders. Die toer vind plaas vanaf 29 Junie tot 13 Julie. Elke dag van die toer sal bestaan uit ongeveer 40 - 60 km se fietstrap en ten minste een fondsinsamelingsgeleentheid by 'n vooraf geïdentifiseerde inkopiesentrum. Die fondsinsamelingsgeleentheid sluit in die verskaf van dienste soos die stoot van trollies en die was van motorruite deur die studente asook besoeke aan besighede in die omgewing vir donasies. Toer die Droom besoek die volgende dorpe tydens die 2013 toer: Pretoria, Bronkhorstspruit, Witbank, Middelburg, Belfast, Dullstroom, Lydenburg, Sabie, Nelspruit, Komatipoort en Malelane.

SALTA begins its wellness initiative THE South African Liquor Traders Association (SALTA) has embarked on the first phase of its Social development program. “SALTA, together with its stakeholders and partners, would like to be in the forefront of community wellness in South Africa. With over 250,000 members, we are ideally positioned to achieve this,” says Saint Madlala, the president of SALTA. Madlala points out that access to fundamental health, education and legal services is still out of reach for the majority of South Africans. “Our history begins with the Soweto uprisings of 1976 and its in Soweto that we will launch our wellness initiative,” says Madlala. The campaign is going to be rolled out throughout the country over the next year. The first phase of this program is to provide much needed health care and wellness programs to SALTA members, their families and to the communities they operate in. The SALTA primary health care, medical hotline and hospitalization cash plan has been launched to provide benefits in the case of hospitalization, critical illness and
accidents and is combined with a funeral plan. “Any member of SALTA or the community may join this program, by applying at the local SALTA regional office – we want these benefits to be easily accessible,” says Madlala. SALTA has teamed up with Alafang Afrika, a company specializing in community wellness to provide the primary heath care benefits. The hospitalization benefits are provided by Tusk Underwriting Managers, a partner of Constantia Life and Health Assurance Company. Saint Madlala is passionate about the importance of community well-being. “A country runs on the belly of its workforce”, he says, “…and the wellness of our people come first.” SALTA is also considering the establishment of a Foetal Alcohol Syndrome clinic as part of its social development responsibilities. “We, as SALTA, will be playing a more active role in community development, and are in the process of assessing the viability of providing legal services and education benefits to our stakeholders,” Madlala says.

IT was an intricate balance between structured educational upliftment, excellent planning and co-ordination, as well as a healthy measure of fun and adventure, that saw the 16th annual Rally to Read programme set off at the start of May to deliver box libraries and educational resources to more than 40 000 children in 120 underprivileged rural schools around the country. Throughout the weekends of May deliveries of box libraries and other resources to 117 schools located within 100km of each other took place. Bidvest, which spearheads the Rally to Read programme as one of its flagship projects, works closely with the Department of Education and the READ Educational Trust to select the schools that are best suited to benefit from the libraries and resources. The READ Educational Trust plays an integral role in the selection of books and resources and is responsible for the continued teaching. This is supplemented by quality resource provision to improve the literacy, language and comprehension skills of primary school learners in the Rally schools. Over 70 corporates from a broad cross-section of industry are involved in Rally to Read. These corporates sponsor libraries of books and material that they deliver to the selected schools during their Rally Weekend. About 1310 volunteers participated in the rally. Bidvest handles all the management, administration and logistics costs to ensure that the donations from sponsors are free of any administration costs and can be donated in full to the libraries and resources for the schools. McCarthy supplies vehicles to the sponsors, which are loaded up with the boxes early on the morning of the Rally – and then driven by the rally participants in convoy to deliver to the beneficiary schools. For more information on the Rally to Read initiative and for sponsorship opportunities in 2014, go to www.rallytoread.co.za.

n 1993 the vision of a wildlife college that would train southern Africans to manage their natural heritage was first discussed. At the urging of members of the South African and SADC conservation fraternity, the World Wide Fund for Nature, South Africa (WWF South Africa) agreed to launch a fund-raising campaign to help address this problem, at least in part, with the establishment of the SAWC. Current students that grew up in Mashishing and studied at the Wild Life College are currently busy in Lydenburg distributing information about recycling and receiving helpful information from residents.
The land on which the College now stands continues to belong to WWF-SA, and the Kempiana property is managed by Kruger National Park as a contractual national park. A private game lodge, Ngala, has traversing rights over a large area of Kempiana, while the College has both a training area and a limited traversing area. WWF South Africa and the Peace Parks Foundation continue to support the College, and have over the years assisted with fundraising to meet the operational needs of the College Please use this photo to identify the students and help them when they come to knock on your door. – Michelle Boshoff

Le Mans 24 hour endurance race 2013 THE weekend of 22 & 23 June saw the 90th running of the world’s biggest on track motor sport event on the annual calendar. It is run on the beautiful 14-kilometre track of Le Mans in Northern France. This is a magical place with the Mulsanne straight where cars reach 340 km/h, the Porsche curves and the Arnage corner, amongst others. The only other single motor sport event that compares with this is the annual Paris - Dakar race that takes place every January, for off-road vehicles. I made myself comfortable in front of the large screen TV with sufficient supplies of food, drink and warm clothes on Saturday at 3 PM. And I followed the entire race to its conclusion on Sunday at 3 PM, with breaks only for coffee and the loo. There are four classes of competitor, starting with the highest, largest budget class. This is for Le Mans Prototype 1 cars (LMP1)and the battle was between Audi and Toyota. These are specialist design experimental cars (prototypes) with an enclosed cockpit. Audi entered three factory Audi R18 e-tron Quattro cars, fitted with 490 hp 3.7-litre V6 turbodiesels. They featured quattro technology, where drive from the diesel is taken to the rear wheels. The hybrid technology allows drivers to charge super capacitors which will allow them a short boost of power to the front wheels (only a few seconds) adding some 210 kW for overtaking or quick acceleration. Audi spends some 1.4 billion Rand annually on this effort and they won for the 12th time. Toyota entered two TS 030 Hybrid cars, equipped with a naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine, developing some 450 bhp. Their hybrid
technology also uses the KERS system (like Audi) to charge capacitors for a power boost adding some 350 bhp in addition to the petrol engine. The differences between Audi and Toyota is diesel versus petrol and quattro versus two wheel (rear) drive. Toyota, competing in only their second year, made everyone take notice, as it crossed the finish line just behind the leading Audi. Nailbiting stuff. The next class is LMP2 (Le Mans Prototype 2) which consist of new open cockpit experimental cars entered by smaller specialist chassis constructors, who may use any variety of third party engine. Here we saw Oreca, Morgan, Oak and others, using engines built by Honda-Mugen, Zytek-Nissan, Toyota, and Judd- BMW. Interesting was that of the total of 53 cars in all four classes entered, a whopping 15 LMP2 class cars ran Zytek-Nissan engines. This is a 450 bhp naturally aspirated V8 that goes like the clappers and that proved utterly reliable over the 24 hours. The LMP2 class was won by Oak Racing’s Morgan-Nissan. The next class down is the first of the saloon cars that you and I can associate with, called GTE-Pro (Professional). Big budget teams or very rich privateers with the latest and greatest GT cars that included Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Porsche GT3 RSR, Ferrari 458 Italia, Corvette, Chrysler Viper SRT and so on. This battle was fierce and 10 minutes into the race, Danish driver Allan Simonsen crashed heavily from 320 km/h in his Aston Martin and subsequently died. The class was won by the awesome new Porsche 911 RSR. The fourth class is GTE-Am (Amateur). These
Top left: Winner = Audi. Top right: Second = Toyota. include your other supercars, some more than a year old and mostly entered by privateers and include Porsche 911 Turbo, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Chevrolet Corvette. The 2013 Le Mans did not disappoint. There was drama with crashes, cars breaking down an retiring, heroic work by marshals and medical teams and the frantic professionalism by the world’s best mechanics and engineers. Audi for example took one of their cars completely apart, stripped the engine and replaced the crankshaft and had the car back on the track in 45 minutes, after a crank sensor failure. In a similar vein To y o t a c o m p l e t e l y rebuilt the entire front end including suspension, brakes and a s s o c i a t e d componentry after a huge crash, and had the car back on track in 40 minutes. The winning car (Audi 0
R18 e-tron quattro) covered 4 715 kilometres at an average speed of 196.5 km/h, including restricted speed under safety car rules for at least two hours and including 34 pit stops. This translates to an average speed of 270 km/h while racing, and reaching 340 on the straights! Fuel consumption is around 1.6 kilometre per litre, or 63 litres / 100 km! The petrol cars use a bit more fuel. Andre Coetzee

Now this is a bakkie! DEARBORN, Michigan: Ford has just unveiled its latest addition to its FSeries pick-up range, the 2014 F-150 Tremor - a bakkie for the street kings. The Tremor name is nothing new to the automaker; it made its debut on the smaller Ranger bakkie in the US in Tremor trim. Other models in the range include King Ranch, Lariat, Limited, Raptor and Harley-Davidson. The Tremor is powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine making 268kW/ 569Nm. The bakkie features a short wheelbase, a launch-optimised rear axle — the shortest final drive ratio offered in an EcoBoost F-150, meaning that drivers can achieve fast acceleration. It’s mated to a six-speed auto gearbox and has a very thirsty combined fuel consumption of 17.7 litres/100km but only 12.8 litres/100km for the 4X2 version.

Massive fuel price hike
As international crude oil prices remained relatively stable during the most recent review period, the main contributor to the increase is the weakness of the rand, according to the energy department. During the review period, the rand traded at an average of R10.05 to the dollar, compared to R9.30 during the preceding month. While it's too early to predict next month's price adjustment, the fact that the rand has dipped below the 10 dollar mark this week is an encouraging sign. iolmotoring ED: My Chevy SS with a 140 litre fuel tank will now cost up to R1 852 to fill up!

New on the market: Nissan NV200 and NV350. NISSAN has launched two new Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) to the South African market. The new Nissan NV Panel Vans join the manufacturer's LCV local line-up, which includes the NP200 half-ton bakkie, the NP300 Hardbody one-ton bakkie, the Navara and the Patrol Pickup. "We are confident that the new NV Panel Van range will prove successful for Nissan in South Africa, where our existing LCV models like the NP200 and NP300 Hardbody bakkies are the darlings of the light commercial vehicle sector," says Freddie Louw, Chief Marketing Manager for the LCV Business Unit at Nissan South Africa. The NV200 Panel Van features a total cargo volume of 4.2 cubic metres, with a low floor sill measuring 520mm and a wide distance between the wheel arches (1220mm). The NV200 can swallow two Euro pallets, or almost 800kg of cargo thanks to its wideopening doors and a hinge design. The Panel Van features two standard sliding doors on either side of the vehicle, which aid in easier and more practical loading and offloading, as well as easier access to the goods. For extra-long items such as a ladder, the Van allows for its front passenger seat to be folded forward and its foldable metal partition to be swung open, presenting a massive 2.8 metres of loading length. The NV200 1.6i Visia features a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol engine, which produces 81kW at 6000rpm and 153Nm at 4400rpm. Mated to a five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive, the 1.6i Visia returns an average fuel economy figure of 7.2 litres per 100km while producing 166g/km of CO2. Featuring the same transmission, the turbocharged diesel NV200 1.5 dCi Visia brings with it exceptional claimed fuel economy figures - 4.9- litres per 100km and 129g/km CO2 - while still offering good power and torque (66kW at 4000rpm and 200Nm at 1750rpm). Standard equipment on both models includes 14-inch wheel covers, remote central locking with immobiliser, air conditioning, full metal mesh partition, French-style rear doors, two sliding doors on either side of the vehicle, tilt-adjustable steering, two speakers and a roof-mounted antenna in a radio-ready setup, as well as a full-size spare wheel. The NV200 Panel Van also features driver and passenger airbags, ABS with EBD and VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) as well as a driver's seatbelt warning buzzer. Nissan NV200 1.6i Visia Panel Van: R187 000. Nissan NV200 1.5 dCi Visia Panel Van: R216 200. The Nissan NV350 Panel Van is available in two body styles and with the choice of two engines. The NV350 comes with the choice of petrol or diesel engines. The NV350 2.5litre Narrow Body with low roof and Wide Body with high roof petrol models offer 108kW at 5600rpm and 213Nm at 4400rpm, and feature a five-speed manual gearbox. Fuel economy on the Narrow Body's average combined cycle is 11.8 litres per 100km and carbon emissions are 282g/km (12.5 litres per 100km and 300g/km for the Wide Body).
Limited Offer
Picture for illustrative purposes only.
The NV350 2.5-litre Wide Body and high roof turbocharged diesel model (95kW at 3200rpm), which is also available with a five-speed manual gearbox, features significant advantages in torque availability (356Nm at 1400-2000rpm) and fuel economy, the combined average cycle returning 8.3 litres per 100km. A comprehensive list of standard equipment in all NV350 Panel Van models allows for comfortable driving. Standard features across the NV350 Panel Van Range include remote central locking with a panic alarm function, an immobiliser and alarm, electric windows, air conditioning, tilt adjustment for the steering wheel, the multi-info trip computer, innovative interior- and head lamp battery savers, two speakers and a pillar antenna in a radio-ready setup, flattened interior load bay panels for maximisation of loading space, four rope hook points, several utility nuts on the load bay side panels as well as 15-inch steel wheels with wheel covers. The Narrow Body and low roof model features two sliding doors on its flanks, while the Wide Body models feature one sliding door and an extra pull handle on the tail gate. Safety equipment includes ABS with Brake Assist, a driver's airbag, pre-tensioned seat belts and a driver's seatbelt warning buzzer. Nissan NV350 2.5 Petrol Narrow Body Panel Van: R279 500.

Jnr. Springbokkleure vir Kwagga Smith (vervolg vanaf bl. 16)
“Kwagga” is vanaf 0/9 tot 0/13 elke jaar aangewys as rugbyspeler van die jaar. Kwagga is ook kaptein van sy span vanaf 0/9 tot 0/11 en weer by 0/13. Hoёrskool gaan hy na Hoёr Tegniese Skool Middelburg, waar hy ook kaptein is van sy span vanaf 0/14 tot 0/16. 0/14 word hy aangwys as Junior speler met 'n groot rugby hart, 0/16 word hy gekies vir die 0/16 Puma's skolespan. In Graad 11 speel hy vir HTS Middelburg se eerste span en speel ook daardie jaar vir die Puma's Cravenweek span. Hy word ook aangewys as die skool se rugbyspeler van die jaar. Graad 12 speel hy weer vir die skool se eerste span en speel ook daardie jaar vir die Puma's Cravenweek span en word weer verkies as die skool se beste rugbyspeler van die jaar. Hy was nie net goed in sport nie en het ook Akademiese toekennings gekry. Na skool lê die groot vraag voor - verder studeer of volg Kwagga sy droom? Hy het sy droom gevolg om eendag goed rugby te speel en met die groen en goud uit tedraf. Na skool het Maruis Schoeman hom afgerig in sewes en speel hy in die toernooi in Zimbabwe. Mei maand gaan hy na die Leeu's unie waar hy 0/19 speel vir die Leeu's. Daardie jaar word Kwagga ook verkies as rugbyspeler van die jaar. Vanaf Augustus 2012 gaan hy terug sewes toe in die Kaap waar hulle toe bekend staan as die “Samurai's”. Hulle speel in Dubai waar hulle die toernooi wen, Desember speel hulle in George waar hulle die toernooi ook wen en geskiedenis maak deur die eerste span is wat een miljoen wen vir rugby. Desember word die eerste groep seuns aangewys wat moet begin proewe speel vir die span. Na baie proefwedstryde en uitdunne het hy die laaste groep gemaak waar hy in April Argetinië toe is. Die span vir die 0/20 Springbokke om die Junior wêreldbeker te gaan verdedig in Frankryk is aangewys waar hy ingesluit is. Hy was baie bly en sê hy gaan elke dag op sy kniёe om dankie te sê vir die Liewe Heer vir sy goeie talent wat God hom gegee het om rugby te speel. Kwagga is vanaf Desember 2012 uitgenooi na verskillende proewe en hulle was aan die begin 50 seuns, waarna dit verminder het na net 28 seuns, wat gekies is nadat hulle 'n drie-wedstryd toernooi gaan deelneem het in Argentinië. Die span is op 26 April 2013 bekend gemaak. Hulle vertrek na Frankryk op 28 Mei 2013 ter voorbereiding van die wêreldbeker toernooi om hulle titel te verdedig, nadat die vorige 0/20 Springbokke hom gewen het op tuisbodem in 2012. Hulle eerste wedstryd was teen die VSA, waar Kwagga op die bankie was as nr 19. Hy het vroeg in die eerste helfte opgedraf. Hulle wen 97/0 teen die VSA en dievolgende wedstryd was teen Engeland waar hulle wen 31/24. Kwagga was nie gekies vir die wedstryd nie. Teen Frankryk wen hulle 26/19 maar Kwagga was ook toe nie gekies vir span nie. In die semi teen Wallis was hy weer op die bankie as nr 19 en het vroeg in die eerste helfte opgekom nadat nr 6 beseer is. Hy het sy eerste drie in wêreldbeker toernooi gedruk teen Wallis. Ongelukkig in die 78 min het Wallis 'n drie gaan druk waar hulle toe verloor 17/18 en toe vir die 3de en 4de plek moes uitspeel teen Nie- Zeeland. Kwagga is weer gekies vir die bankie as nr 19, waar hy na die tweede helfte opgedraf het. Hy het sy tweede drie gedruk vir die toernooi teen NieuZeeland. Hy word beskryf as die klein Buksie van die wedstryde, oor sy goeie balsteel vermoë en oor hy sterk hardloop.”Hierdie seun se hart is op die regte plek en jy kan dit aan sy spel sien. Hy is 'n voorbeeld en inspirasie vir ons, want hy kom van Lydenburg.

Goueleeus ondersteuners bring hul kant
• McGee Ford en Mazda, Lydenburg wens “Kwagga” geluk met sy prestasie en Jnr Springbokkleure.

Frik Rousseau en Nico Nel.
TWEE weke gelede het Shark ondersteuners sakke vol wintersklere aan Lelievlei geskenk en verlede week het Bloubul ondersteuners wintersklere aan Lelievlei geskenk. Hierdie week was dit die Goueleeus ondersteuners se beurt. Frik Rousseau, Direkteur van Leilievlei, noem dat Nico Nel die grootste Leeu ondersteuner in Lydenburg is. Frik en Nico besoek gereeld Ellispark om die Goueleeus te ondersteun. Na die wedstryd braai hulle en hul vriende buitekant die stadion. Met een so 'n geleentheid was hulle nog besig om te braai toe twee verkeersmanne met motorfietse na hulle toe gejaag het. Die verkeersmanne het hulle meegedeel dat presies hier waar hulle nou staan en braai daar 'n week tevore 'n persoon vermoor en beroof is. Hulle het inderhaas alles net so in hul voertuig gelaai en met 'n groot spoed weggejaag en die vleis verder in die voertuig gebraai. Frik noem dat hy en Nico al op verskeie rugbytoere was. Die beste rugbytoer was toe hulle gekies is as die bestuurslede van die Ou Katte rugbyspan wat 'n week in Durban gaan toer het vir die Legends Rugby Fees waarheen senior rugby spelers van oor die hele wereld genooi is. Die
Lydenburg Ou Katte was een van slegs twee spanne senior spelers van Mpumalanga wat die week bygewoon het en het baie goed gevaar op Kingpark. As die Oukatte nie rugby gespeel het nie het hul saam met Springbok Legendes soos Rob Louw, Japie Mulder, John Allen en Andre Joubert gekuier. Frik noem dat Nico 'n hart van goud het en altyd bereid is om te help.
