The Highlands Panorama News staff and our families express our deepest sympathy with the passing of former South African President Mr Nelson Mandela. He dreamed of a democratic South Africa and his legacy will always be remembered and be an example for all of us. Die Highlands Panorama Nuus personeel en ons families wil graag saam met die res van die wĂŞreld voormalige staatspresident Mnr. Nelson Mandela se heengaan betreur. Enige huldeblyk is te kort maar sy diens, vergifnis, altyd groot glimlag en simpatie sal altyd onthou word. Geen woorde sal sy groot rol in Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis tot reg laat geskiet nie. Hamba Kahle Tata Madiba.

Geseënde Kersfees, Vrolik Kersfeest, Zalig Kersfeest en Merry Christmas. Die Franse sê Joyeux Noël, die Italianers Buano Feste Natalizi, Spanjaarde wens almal Feliz Navidad toe en die Duitsers Froehliche Weihnacht. Dis Desember in Suid-Afrika, lang somerdae, koeler nagte en verlede week het die helder volmaan geskyn net voordat die son nou weer stadigaan na ’n winterstand moet beg in teruggaan. Soos Koos du Plessis se Somerkersfees vra: Skenk ons ’n helder Somerkersfees aan hierdie land o’ Heer. Wat doen ek Kersfees? Ek sal ’n wensbeentjie trek en in die stilligheid wens dat wonderwerke in oorvloed oor die ou aarde sal neerdaal. Dat kinders nie meer mishandel sal word nie, dat bejaardes se mense hulle sal onthou, dat eensames mekaar sal vind. Dat diere liefde en genoeg kos ontvang. Dat eienaars wat hulle weggee en vergeet sal verhonger en tronkstraf ontvang. Dat ons honde vir ewig en altyd styf in ons arms sal wees. Mag niemand sonsteek opdoen nie en niemand in die braaivleisvuur aan die slaap raak nie. Want dan sal jy hoor: “Natuurlik weer gesuip as jy my vra.” Dat Kersfees meer liefde sal openbaar. Dat dit feestelik is en lekker. Dat ek ’n Midas-vinger kan kry vir ’n minuut. Dat die geldgod Mammon my los en nie na die blink en duur geskenke laat wens nie. Mag almal veilig aan al die kante uitkom, uitrus, nie meer as twee kilogram optel nie en mag niemand ’n tand tjip op tant Sara se Krismiskoek met die toegedraaide muntstukkie in nie.
Vader Kersfees moet vir ons geduld deur die skoorsteen laat sak, wysheid en insig. Saam met geloof, hoop en liefde wat onder die Kersboom wag. Miskien is Krismis nie so ’n slegte idee nie.
From the Word Luke 6:37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. One of the most difficult things we humans are ever called upon to do is to respond to evil with kindness, and to forgive the unforgivable. Forgive the unforgivable. Your enemy may not deserve to be forgiven for all the pain and sadness and suffering purposefully inflicted, but you deserve to be free of this evil. "Hate is like an acid. It damages the vessel in which it is stored, and destroys the vessel on which it is poured.”
NELSON Rolihlahla Mandela passed away on 5 December 2013, at the age of 95. Born from the royal AbaThembu clan of the Xhosa nation in Mvezu near Umtata on 18 July 1918, the place is not far from MacLear and the Pitsing, which was the home and farm of my grandfather Louis Coetzee. As a child I attended a rescue operation at the Tsitsa waterfall, where two young Pondo boys had drowned. Mandela also shared his birthday with my late mother Bettina Margaretha Coetzee (nee) Fourie. Mandela was given his English name Nelson, by his first English teacher, as was the custom during those colonial days. His birth name Rolihlahla incidentally meant “troublemaker”. In later years this was ironic, as he was a trouble maker, according to the National Party Government. His first wife was Evelyn Mase. Mandela hand picked an Afrikaans lady Zelda La Grange, as his secretary during his tenure as President and thereafter. Whether you call him a terrorist as some people still do, or a peacemaker as most do, Nelson Mandela certainly left his mark in the history of South Africa and indeed in the world. Walking tall in 1995 after the Rugby World Cup and proudly wearing a Springbok jersey and carrying the cup, he was a hero to many. Following 27 years of imprisonment, he was able to forgive his former jailers and succeeded in uniting all South Africans during his tenure as President of the Republic of South Africa. He was not greedy or corrupt and set the benchmark of what a leader should be. It is also ironic that those who followed him, seem hell bent on undoing his legacy and his good work. Perhaps the most respected statesman of his time, this country is now in mourning and is eagerly awaiting a visionary leader, a great orator, a peacemaker, a leader like him, to take up the baton once again. Sadly, there seems to be no one waiting in the wings. Our prayers are with his family. Hamba Kahle Tata Madiba.
Weerpatrone oor 32 jaar: BAIE lesers weet dat ek al vir sowat 35 jaar rekord hou van Lydenburg se weerstoestande. Ek het toegang tot twee elektroniese weerstasies, barometers en ander instrumente wat ek self bedryf en alle data is gerekenariseer. Na aanleiding van die swaar weer en “baie” reën, wil mense dan ook weet wat met die weer aangaan. Ek moet uit die staanspoor verduidelik dat reën veral kol-kol voorkom en dat daaglikse syfers verskil, na gelang van waar gemeet word. Al my syfers is afkomstig van die area tussen Voortrekkerstraat in die noorde, Chris Lombardstraat in die weste, Morganstraat in die ooste en die visserye in die suide, ’n gebied van sowat 2 vierkante kilometer. Wat die reën betref, is ons ten spyte van die algemene persepsie, effe onder die gemiddelde vir die tydperk Aug tot Des. Die gemiddelde syfers vanaf Januarie tot Desember oor 35 jaar verskyn eerste en die syfers vanaf Januarie tot Desember vir 2013 verskyn tweede in hakies. Alle syfers in mm. Jan 124 (176), Feb 95 (45), Mrt 70 (57), Apr 52 (102), Mei 15 (0), Jun 6 (0), Jul 5 (0), Aug 8 (5), Sept 16 (10), Okt 75 (124), Nov 136 (114) en Des 140 (87 tot op 10 Des). Die totaal vir Jan tot Des (gemiddeld) is dus 882 en die totaal (2013) is 720. Dit lyk egter of daar nog baie reën vir Desember kom.
Wat 2013 egter anders maak is die weerpatrone. Ons het tot laat in Nov en selfs in Des nog baie koue dae ondervind, met uitermatig warm dae tussenin. Bykans elke reënbui het dié jaar gepaard gegaan met erge donderstorms, rukwinde en wydverspreide hael. Die rede hiervoor is kompleks en moeilik verklaarbaar. Dat dit verband hou met klimaatsverandering en ’n algemene verwarming in ons atmosfeer is egter gewis. As ons maksimum temperature se gemiddeldes oor 35 jaar vergelyk met 2013 lyk die prent so: Gemiddeld eerste en 2013 tweede in hakies, alle syfers in grade C. Jan 33 (37), Feb 32 (30), Mrt 30 (33), Apr 29 (31), Mei 26 (26), Jun 24 (24) Jul 24 (24), Aug 27 (22), Sept 31 (33), Okt 31 (32), Nov 32 (34) en Des 32 (30). Daarinteen was minimum temperature oor die algemeen effe laer in 2013, as oor die gemiddelde 35 jaar. Dit beteken dus in effek dat die gaping tussen minimum en maksimum temperature groter word, wat deels die geweld van die storms verklaar. Wêreldwyd dui groterwordende dag / nag temperatuurverskille ook op onder andere laer reênval en lewer dit ook ’n bydrae tot woestynvorming. So, oor die algemeen is ons wat reên, temperature en daaglikse lugdruk lesings betref, nie te vêr van die gemiddeldes af nie, maar die klein en subtiele veranderinge wat wel plaasvind, lei tot meer en sterker storms. Andre Coetzee.

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 Clercq 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.

The History and Background of the Lydenburg Museum In the 1930's the enthusiastic members of the “Lydenburg se Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniging” started collecting with the aim to start a museum. The drive came from Mr Lehman and a history teacher, Mr Vlotman. They received some valuable objects that had belonged to the State President of the ZAR, S.W. Burger, from his widow, Mrs. A Burger. The first formal museum committee was founded in November 1961, the chairman being Mr. Nic Schoeman. Although they did collect a few valuable items, the committee ended their work by the end of 1964. As soon as the Transvaal Museum Service came into existence in 1971, the Lydenburg Town Council applied for affiliation. On the 15th of November 1972 their request was accepted and the three themes of cultural history, archaeology and the Pedi were assigned to the museum. The old council hall, next to the library was to be used as a museum. The exhibition cases were designed by Udo Küsel and were completed in 1975. The first permanent curator was appointed on the first of August 1977. As the collection at that time consisted of merely 400 objects, the curator, Mrs. Etta Judson, immediately started collecting and planning an exhibition for the completed cases. The planning of the exhibition was completed in 1978 with the assistance of Mr Johan Erasmus of Museum Services. The exhibition was opened on the first of May 1979 by Mr. D.S. van der Merwe Brink. A new building was planned by Mr Erich Jessnitz of Museum Services, to be built in the Gustav Klingbiel Nature Reserve. Construction started in 1983. The new building was built in stages and completed in 1990. The new exhibition, planned by third curator, Mrs. Alta Kriel, and Museum Services, was completed on 28 November 1991. The exhibition was installed in three stages – the first of which in December 1990, coinciding with the moving of the museum curator's office to the new building. The museum complex has an auditorium, with room for 46 people. A tearoom is also included in the building. Two large store rooms and a workroom, apart from walk-in safe, houses the collection currently not on exhibition. As already mentioned, the museum is situated in the Gustav Klingbiel Nature Reserve. The reserve has hiking and MTB trails. The museum is situated on the road to Sabie – the Long Tom Pass – and is on the main tourist route to the Lowveld and the Kruger National Park. Marketing has included the presenting of a Valentines Dance at the museum, to welcome the locals to their new museum, in 1991. A poster competition was held on International Museum n Day. The museum acquired a website in 2 0 0 6 (www.lydenburgmus eum.org.za). Radio interviews in 2006 and television documentaries about the museum and its exhibits were aired during 2008 on Pasella and again the following year on the Tr a v e l C h a n n e l . School groups are given a tour of the museum and are then either taken to the old Voortrekker School and Church or to Archaeological remains inside the Nature Reserve by the curator on request.
Mashishing There are many explanations for how the name Mashishing came into being. Below are some explanations which I believe may hold some truth. According to historic accounts the original community (BaPedi) resided at Boomplaats. After the land was sold to private people the original residents moved away and settled at the banks of the Marambane River. The name Marambane was derived from the word mahambane meaning to walk. This word was used to describe the gold prospectors (1871), Abomahambane, who scoured the hills and valleys around Lydenburg in search of gold. It was here that Mashishing was established. At first it was agreed that the area be named Marangrang (after a Pedi chief and businessman) but it was later decided to name it Mashishing, after the tall grass of the area. This reference to grass also made in another probable explanation for the origin of Mashishing. The BaPedi settled here with their cattle mainly because this area had excellent grazing for cattle. Therefore the place was referred to as Leshishi – good grass or grazing. Leshishi became Mashishing.

Die Highlands Panorama Nuus het ook foto's geplaas van hoe inwoners se huise kniehoogte vol water is. • A man, Mr Ivan Schutte (75) was attacked on his farm Langdraai, Badfontein, Lydenburg. The suspects stole money and firearms. He was tied up with an electrical cord and kicked several times. • Nikita Paulik wen Miss Teen Queen World SA 2014 en neem volgende jaar oorsee deel. • 'n Groot 12m reliëfstuk gaan vakansiegangers en toeriste begroet in Ohrigstad, wat die ontstaan van die dorp uitbeeld. Dit is deur kunstenaar Pieter Krugel uit sement gemaak. • Thaba Chweu Municipality authorized a joy ride to the Idols that cost R24 000. But the acting municipal manager, Mr. Godfrey Nkosi said it was Toeriste by Ohrigstad het hul verkyk aan die pragtige reliëfstuk wat mnr. Pieter Krügel in opdrag van mnr. Arno Strydom (eienaar van die Oasis Besigheidskompleks in Ohrigstad) gemaak het. Dit is heeltemal uit sement uitgebou en daarna geskilder. Dit is 12m lank en sowat 2.5m hoog. Dit het meer as twee maande geduur om hierdie pragtige werk te voltooi. Dit reliëfwerk beeld die stigting van Ohrigstad uit en die rustige toneel spreek boekdele van die Voortrekkers se lewe. Toeriste het gereeld stilgestaan en kyk hoe hy werk by Oasis en was baie beïndruk daardeur. Hulle was vol komplimente. Pieter is tans besig om die by die ingang van die Voortrekker Begraafplaas ook ’n reliëfwerk te maak en van die oorspronklike Voortrekkergrafte word ook gerestoureer vir bewaring. Verskeie boere en besigheidsmense het die werk by die Begraafplaas gefinansier. Hierdie werke is betyds vir die 16de Desember se Geloftefeesvieringe. ~ Michelle Boshoff

Sonja Boshoff gaan parlement toe THABA Chweu Hoofsweep en DA Veldtogbestuurder Sonja Boshoff, is pas aangewys as lid van die Nasionale Raad Van Provinsies (NRP). ’n Boorling van Natal, het Hildegard Sonja Boshoff (nee Engelbrecht) haar in 1979 op Lydenburg gevestig. Sy is getroud met die bekende oud onderwyser Jaap Boshoff en die egpaar het ’n seun Jason (23). Sy is in Maart 2013 aangewys as Assistent Politike Hoof vir die DA in die distrikte Bosbokrand, Umjindi (Barberton) en Nkomazi (laeveld). Op Provinsiale vlak is sy die Adjunk Provinsiale Hoof. Haar verkiesing as lid van die NRP is ’n groot eer vir haar, die DA en Lydenburg. Sy gaan Parlement toe! Sonja beplan om aan te bly in Lydenburg en sal pendel tussen Lydenburg en die stad. Ons wens haar geluk met hierdie uitsonderlike prestasie en wens haar alles van die beste toe. Andre Coetzee
Geseënde Kersfees vanaf Rusoord Rusoordbestuur skryf: Rusoord Tehuis vir Bejaardes bedank almal vir hul ondersteuning deur die jaar. ’n Geseënde Kersfees en Nuwe Jaar vir almal.
A Condolence Book can be signed at the Thaba Chweu Municipality Offices. Everyone may write a message following the death of former President Mr Nelson Mandela.
In Memorium Mrs Lettie Baragwanath (95) died peacefully on Tuesday 11 December. A memorial service will be held in Johannesburg. Antoinette, Jenny and Larna, their children with clearly miss their loving compassionate, enthusiastic mum and granny. Baie dankie aan Rusoord waar sy baie gelukkig gewoon het asook ander liewe vriende wat haar lewe verryk het.
Huldeblyk aan oud Pres. Nelson Mandela Bel asseblief vir Gerda Chester van die dierebeskerming wat die hond gevind het in Lydenburg. Kyk na jul diere. Dis skryend hoe mense hul diere laat wegraak. Skakel Gerda: 082 041 6165
Dr. Pieter Mulder leier van die VF+ skryf: Een persoon, op die regte plek, op die regte tyd en met die regte aanslag kan 'n reuse verskil maak. Nelson Mandela was so 'n persoon. Hy het hierdie stelling as korrek bewys. Hy het nie net 'n invloed op Suid Afrika nie, maar op die hele wereld gehad.
BNI skenking vir Zonicka
Congratulations to Sonja Boshoff Frik Rousseau FF+ Leader Thaba Chweu and National FF+ Council I have known Sonja Boshoff for 25 years and on behalf of the FF+ we would like to congratulate her for being elected to the National Council of Provinces (NCOP). Sonja and my friendship let me think of my father Pierre Rousseau and his best friend Richard Harrington. I was born in Groblersdal in 1959. My father Pierre Rousseau was the chairperson of the National Party in Groblersdal. My father was co- owner of Groblersdal Motors that sold Ford cars. His best friend Richard was chairperson of the “Verenigde Party” (Sappe) and was the owner of Harrington Motors in Groblersdal that sold Chevs. In spite of the fact that they were direct opponents in politics and business no one in Groblersdal could understand how they could be such good friends. Read the book “Nasionale Party van Transvaal Kiesafdeling Groblersdal Halfeeufees gedenkalbum 1914 tot 1964”. In spite of our political differences Sonja has never ended our
friendship. Council meetings are cruel and on occasion personal attacks are made. In Pretoria, Councillors call each other dogs (read Beeld 4 December 2013). Sonja has never attacked me personally. When municipal meetings were held in Sabie and Graskop she always suggested that we travel together. Three months ago at an IEC meeting she noticed that my surname was spelt incorrectly and brought it under the attention of the chairperson. When I cannot attend a meeting or a private function and I am being discussed in a negative manner, she will always come up for me. That is true friendship. I am not surprised that she has been elected to the National Council of Provinces as she is a person that thinks on her feet.
Die Foto van Jaar kompetisie en die Hondekompetisie se wenners sal in Januarie in die koerant verskyn maar ons sal hulle intussen verwittig.
TYDENS BNI se weeklikse vergadering op Woensdag 4 Desember, het die Longtomtak van BNI hulle jaar se werksaamhede afgesluit. Tydens die geleentheid het die President van BNI Longtom, mnr Jurie Schoeman en die sekretaresse / tesourier, Me Hester Van Helsdingen, namens BNI ’n donasie aan mnr en mev Willie en Mariska Nel oorhandig, vir die behandeling van hulle dogter Zonicka se oog. Lesers sal onthou dat Zonicka haar oog verloor het na ’n ongeluk met ’n verfbal geweer. Haar behandeling kos ’n astronomiese bedrag geld. Langs hierdie weg het BNI ook sy leuse van “Givers Gain” gestand gedoen, deur terug te ploeg in Lydenburg. BNI se lede wens die Nel gesin alle sterkte toe vir die toekoms en hulle wil ook aan al Lydenburg se besighede ’n geseënde Kersseisoen en voorspoedige nuwe jaar toewens. Vir dié van u wat meer wil weet oor BNI, of wil aansluit, woon gerus hulle eerste vergadering van 2014 by wat DV sal plaasvind op 8 Januarie om 07:30 by Oom Andries se koffiewinkel in die swembadsentrum langs Spur.
