A big accident occured just outside Modikwa Platinum Mine, Burgersfort, and everyone was on hand to score some oranges.
THE polyphagous shothole borer, or Euwallacea fornicatus, seems to be a newcomer to South Africa. It was discovered in the country for the first time in 2017 by Dr Trudy Paap, a postdoctoral fellow at a biotechnology institute at the University of Pretoria. The beetle isn't alone. It carries several fungal species with it when it infests living trees. One of these, Fusarium euwallacea, seems to be a permanent associate of the beetle. This fungus can eventually kill a beetle-infested tree. The beetle and the fungus have devastated trees in California in the US as well as in Israel. Insecticides aren't effective because the beetles bore deep into the wood. The only known method of managing the spread is to cut down infested trees and burn them. But research is underway to find more effective methods. A threat to native forests and fruit trees. In late January my colleagues and I at the Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute were contacted by Niel Hill, an urban forestry consultant in Johannesburg. He was concerned about several dying trees in the Sandton area. Symptoms varied on different tree species from patches of white powdered wood (called frass), to blotches of oozing resin, on the bark surrounding the beetles' entrance holes. On some trees he had also spotted small, elevated lesions on the bark resembling shotgun wounds. Hill said that trees had already started dying with these symptoms in 2015, but the cause was unknown. Microscopic and DNA tests in the the institute's laboratories confirmed that the polyphagous shothole borer and its fungus had arrived in Sandton. The tree species affected in the Sandton area include non-native ornamental trees such as Japanese and Chinese maple, London plane, kapok, and liquid amber. Several paper bark trees, native to South Africa, were also heavily infested and dying. The polyphagous shothole borer doesn't appear to have done much damage to trees in Southeast Asia, its place of origin. That's probably because tree species evolved with the beetle and the fungus and have developed resistance towards them. It might also be because there are natural enemies controlling populations of the beetle in its native habitat. But it's a different story in California in the US and in Israel. The beetle and its fungus were introduced in these countries during the past 15 years and have caused serious damage, especially on avocado trees. Paap's work has confirmed that the South African beetle and fungus are the same genotypes as those found in Israel and California. An extremely wide range of host tree
species Astonishingly, surveys in two botanical gardens in Los Angeles have shown that the beetle-fungus complex can infest more than 200 tree species from 58 plant families. This is quite unusual; forest pests usually affect trees of the same genus or family. The lists of infested trees from California include important crop trees like avocado, macadamia, pecan, peach, orange and grapevine. Some of the susceptible trees are South African species that have been planted in the Los Angeles botanical gardens . These included the cabbage tree, common calpurnia, monkey plum, dwarf and common coral trees, and the honey flower, also sometimes called kruidjie-roer-my-nie. The fact that native South African tree species are susceptible is particularly worrying. Although the California study provided some clues about the range of tree species susceptible, scientists simply don't know and cannot predict what the beetle and fungus will do in South Africa – on crops like avocado or on native trees. This has prompted the institute to start several research projects that range from developing fast DNA-based diagnostic tools for the fungus and beetle, to possible control measures. During the past week scientists and government officials, representing the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo met with our team to discuss next steps. A working group has been set up to co-ordinate monitoring the spread of the beetle and managing research efforts. It will also advise government agencies, municipalities, industry and private tree growers. Next steps The public can help, too. We've made an appeal to gardeners to watch out for the beetles. Details including photographs of the symptoms, GPS coordinates or a street address, the host tree species and the reporter's contact details can be sent to diagnostic.clinic@fabi.up.ac.za. We're also appealing to people not to spread the problem by moving plant material with signs of beetle infestation. Instead, infested branches should be cut into small pieces and put into refuse bags, sealed and kept in direct sunlight. The heat from the sun will kill the insect and its larvae. Alternatively, wood should be burnt on site. By Wilhelm de Beer - University of Pretoria article “A tiny beetle and its deadly fungus is threatening SA’s trees.

met die volledige en insiggewende aansoek en ook tydens hulle besoek aan die plaas. Lion was toe aangewys as een van die finaliste. Die vereistes om in te skryf sluit in dat jy onder 40 jaar oud moet wees en voltyds boer. Op 14 Junie 2018 by die provinsie se Landbou Kongres Dinee by Bundu Lodge in Nelspruit, het die President van Mpumalanga Landbou, mnr Oubaas Malan, aangekondig dat Lion du Plessis die wenner is van die Mpumalanga Jong boer van die Jaar 2018. Boerdery in Suid-Afrika is vol uitdagings, maar Lion glo boere moet positief bly en hierdie struikelblokke moet omskep word in boublokke tot ’n beter toekoms. Boere het ’n baie belangrike rol aangesien dit ons plig is om voedselsekuriteit te verseker in die land. Die Jong boer van die Jaar kompetisie was baie waardevol vir Lion. Lion het ook in 2009 ’n liefdadigheidsorganisasie gestig genaamd Children at Play (C@P). Sedertdien het ons al duisende kinders in ons gemeenskap, ander dele in die land en selfs in ander Afrika lande gehelp. Lion wou die wêreld verander maar hy het gou agter gekom dat dit nie moontlik is nie, daarom probeer hy deur C@P die wêreld vir individue verander. Gaan kyk gerus na sy webblad: www.childrenatplay.org.za vir meer Oubaas Malan (President Mpumalanga Landbou), Lion en inligting. ~ Deur Reinet Bell Adele du Plessis en Hanlie Kroese van Santam
ONG BOER van die Jaar is 'n jaarlikse kompetisie wat elke Provinsiale Landbou Unie aanbied. Elke kandidaat word beoordeel op grond van sy toekomsvisie vir sy boerdery en boerdery in SA, finansiële bestuur wat begrotings, rekordhouding en beplanning insluit, bemarkingsfilosofie, werknemer bestuur, en op grond van die volhoubaarheid van jou boerderybesigheid. Lion was genader deur Mpumalanga Landbou om in te skryf. Die paneel van beoordelaars was beïndruk

Mooi is mooi. Hoeveel keer is dit nie al gesê nie. 'Mooi' word miskien misbruik oor die rustige klank van die woord wanneer dit hardop gesê word. Probeer dit gerus stadig uitspreek. Sien, dit val sag op die oor. Die woord 'mooi' steek nou vir 'n paar dae in my kop vas. Ek is geneig om gereeld 'n spesifieke woord oor en oor te gebruik as dit lekker op die tong val. Totdat dit my naderhand so ontstem dat ek dit fisies moet insluk. Met die slukkery en die verstik let ek toe op hoe verskriklik baie mense die woord 'mooi' gebruik. Vir elke beskrywing waar 'n byvoeglike naamwoord of bywoord nodig word. 'n Mooi uitstig, mooi rolprent, mooi rok, mooi blomme of mooi enigiets. Wat het geword van keurig, verruklik, vermaaklik of beeldskoon? Ek is seker ander vorme mooi kan deur 'n paar beterweters en oordrewe taalpuriste in 'n meer kreatiewe vorm gebruik word. Of dat hulle meer sinonieme kan weergee. Terwyl 'mooi' by my spook het ek tot die slotsom gekom dat die oorgebruik van 'mooi' as gevolg van 'n gebrek aan woordeskat is. Ons vloek ook as gevolg van 'n gebrek aan woordeskat. In my geval “backfire” dit want ek hou ook van die kragwoorde se klank in my mond. Een van my professors het eendag vir my gesê: “Dis omdat jul woordeskat so beperk is dat julle kragwoorde inspan.” Dalk is dit waar? My verweer hierop is egter dat ek tot die dood toe nie 'n goeie Afrikaanse plaasvervanger met dieselfde woema kan kry nie. Ek is skuldig. Want hoe durf ons slordig met ons geliefde taal omgaan? Maar slordigheid en luiheid het die wagwoord van ons tyd geword. Alles moet mos onmiddellik geskied en verkieslik met die minste moeite. Dis hoekom 'mooi' so maklik gebruik word. Ons moet daaraan begin dink om meer kreatiewe woorde te gebruik. En dit geld nie net vir 'mooi' nie. Wanneer laas het julle byvoorbeeld gul gebruik. Spontaan of hartlik? Het 'mooi' al in die volksmond die mag van die gewoonte geword? Draai sommer 'mooi' se nek ook om. Dan sal ek rede hê om te antwoord, “mooi man”! ~ Michelle Boshoff (As hierdie Hoorhierso bekend klink - ek hiberneer- so die winter het nie plek in my gedagtes gemaak vir kreatiwiteit hierdie week nie. Mooi nê!)
2 KONINGS 15:18 Hy het gedoen wat verkeerd is in die oë van die Here: hy het vir die volle duur van sy regering nie afgesien van die sondes wat Jerobeam seun van Nebat vir Israel laat doen het nie. Vader, soos destyds, ly ons land en sy mense onder swak regering. Bring vir ons almal vrede en ’n beter toekoms in hierdie verband - Amen.
Parlement EK dink die Suid Afrikaanse regering (Parlement) is onder die indruk dat hulle klaar gewerk het. Hulle het niks om te doen nie (dink hulle) en promulgeer al hoe meer snert wetgewing. Hierdie goed word natuurlik gedryf deur die neo-liberales, die “anti smoking”, “anti gun”, “anti animal cruelty” en ander randgroepe wat geweldige steun by die “ag shame” brigade geniet. Ek meen, misdaad vier hoogty. Myne word so gepenaliseer vir elke ding dat hulle nie meer kan werk nie. Zama-zamas bly nou ondergronds om met hulle hande ’n lewe te probeer uitkrap, terwyl hulle doodgaan in rotsstortings, brande en onder misdaad. Ek mag nie
THE situation with regards to Mpumalanga’s roads, which are now arguably the worst in the country continues to deteriorate. The R36 from Bambi to the Limpopo Border close to the Pilgrimsrest turnoff is in a horrific state. From there onwards the Limpopo government has handed the R36 to SANRAL and the road was properly reconstructed in record time. The R36 will also alleviate the issue of hundreds of trucks destroying the roads of Thaba Chweu on a daily basis, but can currently not be used by those trucks. Due to this the R37 across the Longtom Pass, which is maintained by SANRAL is falling apart rapidly. The Lydenburg Mashishing Business
Chamber has repeatedly called on Provincial Goverment to transfer all roads, including the link in Lydenburg for the R37 to Sanral with immediate effect, with limited response from the authorities. It appears that Province receives a grant for the number of kilometres under its management from Central Government. Why the Province does not maintain those roads remains a mystery. Current repairs to the R36 are prohibitively expensive, and too few and take too long. The Highlands Panorama News have obtained the names and numbers of those officials responsible for the Province’s roads. We encourage readers to phone these officials and lay complaints as often as possible, as they should be held responsible. They are: MEC Manzini 082 827 0341 HOD SP Xulu 079 491 2634 Please apply pressure in the interest of all residents, the tourism community and road users in order to galvanize this province into action.

belas. Jy sal eersdaags ’n permit nodig hê om toilet toe te gaan! Ons brandstof is onbekostigbaar, maar ons verkoop dieselfde brandstof aan Lesotho en Botswana teen halfprys. Ons sit “smart” kragmeters vir net ’n deel van die mense in en dan word dit gestop. Ons is verslaaf aan snert op sosiale media, maar stel nie belang in die waarheid nie. Ons sit en slaap naby spoedkameras terwyl mense oor stopstrate in mekaar vasjaag. Ons gee nie om oor plaasmoorde nie, want ons kos kom van P&P af. Ons strate val uitmekaar maar dis OK, want amptenare kan met staatsgeld nuwe SUV’s koop. Ons kindertjies kan nie meer lees, skryf en tel nie, maar dis ook OK, ons verlaag net die slaagsyfer. Ons dood in ons hospitale. Drink ’n “chill pil”. Nee, ons het regtig die “plot” verloor en ons regering moet pa staan vir al hierdie twak. En julle mensies moet wakker word.

We drove the Hyundai Tucson No less than nine model variants are now available in the Hyundai Tucson range. We drove the 2.0 NU Premium Auto. Premium is also available as a Manual and higher up you will find the 2.0 NU Elite Auto, 1.6 TGDI Exec Manual, 1.6 TGDI Elite DCT, 1.7 Ull Exec Diesel Manual, 1.6 TGDI Exec Sport Manual, 1.6 TGDI Elite Sport DCT and R2 Elite Diesel Auto. Their 1.6 and 2.0 petrol and diesel engines make from 115 kW to 150 kW in Sport and between 196 Nm to 400 Nm in the big diesel. Transmissions range from a 6-speed manual to 6-speed auto and a 7-speed Dual Clutch system. All the cars come with six airbags, ABS and EBD, LED daytime running lights, auto lock doors, remote controls on the up-down adjustable steering, electric windows, aircon, comprehensive trip computer, entertainment systems, aux and USB in, 2 x 12V ports and rear view cameras. On higher models depending on specs you get auto dual zone climate control, ESP, VSM, DBC and HAC. Push button start, more elaborate infotainment systems, auto folding side mirrors, electric seat adjustment, blind spot detection, cruise control, glove box cooling, a panoramic sunroof and leather seats are also available on different high spec models. The ace up Hyundai’s sleeve is of course its 7-year 200 000 km warranty. A service plan of 5-years / 90 000 km is standard. The very generous boot also hides a full size spare wheel. A number of alloy wheel options, colour schemes and other accessories are available. Our test car with the 115 kW 2.0 engine and auto box pulled away smoothly and notable was the engine’s willingness to rev, if one puts foot. The car accelerates well on an uphill and cruises very comfortably at 120 km/h. It feels sure footed and safe even at much higher speeds, with uneven road surfaces not having any detrimental effect on the suspension. The suspension is not too firm and the ride is pleasant. The cabin feels solid and remains quiet at speed, with almost no road or suspension noise and is far superior to that of the previous model. The power steering is light and the turning circle very tight. Brakes are excellent and one can throw the car from side to side, while dodging pot holes, without unsettling the vehicle. Nice touches include proper mirrors in the sun visors with slots for petrol cards. A sunglasses holder is also present. Overall I liked the fact that this is a no-nonsense, very nice vehicle. It is comfortable, drives well and bristles with safety equipment. Most SUV’s are all big estate cars and there is very little one can do about styling. Peter Schreyer (their designer) has however succeeded in creating a very good looking car and the Tucson certainly is one of the better looking offerings in the market. There is not much to fault. Hyundai’s are not low budget cars and their pricing and quality are right up there in the premium market, ranging from just under R 400 000 to just over R 600 000. If I need to criticise anything, I would, at the price, have liked a larger touch screen infotainment system on the less expensive Premium models. With a superior warranty this car is well worth your attention. Andre Coetzee.

Ford EcoSport updated THE updated Ford EcoSport is scheduled to arrive in South Africa in July 2018, but we’ve managed to unearth both the structure of the rejigged local range and the standard specifications of the facelifted models. While pricing has yet to be confirmed, we now know that the refreshed EcoSport lineup will be trimmed from six derivatives to five. Perhaps more important, though, is the fact that the naturally aspirated 1,5-litre petrol engine (which powers both the entrylevel 1,5 Ambiente and the flagship 1,5 Titanium auto in the current range) will fall away completely. In addition, where the outgoing range includes two 1,0-litre EcoBoost variants, the new line-up will feature as many as four derivatives powered by Ford’s familiar 92 kW/170 N.m turbocharged three-cylinder engine. This powertrain will be offered in mid-spec Trend and top-spec Titanium trim, with the choice of either a manual or automatic transmission. And, rather interestingly, while the 1,5-litre TDCi mill is currently also offered in both Trend and Titanium guise, in the facelifted range the 74 kW/205 Nm diesel engine will be available solely in base Ambiente form (with a manual gearbox). The oil-burning Ambiente model’s standard features list will include power-adjustable side-mirrors, manual air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, a six-speaker audio system (equipped with the basic Sync arrangement), a 12V power socket up front, 16inch steel wheels, six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control and Isofix points in the rear. Trend models will add heating for the side-mirrors, Ford’s Sync 3 system (with accompanying 6,5-inch touchscreen), a multifunction steering wheel, 16-inch alloys, a tyre-pressure monitoring system, a second 12V power point (this one at the rear), a driver’s knee airbag and hill launch assist. Titanium derivatives, meanwhile, will furthermore gain keyless start, heated front seats, LED daytime running lights, power-folding side-mirrors (with puddle-lamps), automatic air-conditioning, LED ambient lighting for the cabin, an eight-inch colour touchscreen (with an additional speaker), satellite navigation and 17-inch alloys.
All derivatives will be covered by a four-year/120 000 km warranty and a four-year/60 000 km service plan (with intervals of 15 000 km).

Old Isuzu going strong THE owner of an 18-year-old Isuzu KB250 double-cab that hit one million kilometres almost a year ago says the bakkie is still working hard. David Manley says that almost a year after hitting the milestone and then heading on a trip to the Kalahari and back, the diesel-powered bakkie is being used for “general transportation and farm work” at Ruiterbos outside Mossel Bay in the Southern Cape. And there are more plans afoot. In fact, Manley and his wife say they are preparing to undertake another trip to Namibia in their bakkie in July. “Our last trip to Etosha in Namibia was done in July last year, as we had a week to kill after Gillian and I hiked the Naukluft Trail and started the Fish River Canyon trail. We travelled up on largely now very bad gravel roads via Walvis Bay and the Skeleton Coast. The vehicle has been to Etosha before, so it knew the way,” said Manley. “Our Isuzu has also travelled extensively around South Africa, mostly with a boat on the roof taking my son from regatta to regatta during his high-school years,” the retired ship surveyor said. “The bakkie was bought new in 2000 from CP Nel Motors in Mossel Bay and has given me sterling service. The vehicle was serviced by CP Nel up to 200 000 km, and thereafter I did the routine services myself. “The engine and turbo are original and have never been opened. I had the brakes and suspension serviced independently as required. The engine still uses no oil between oil changes,” Manley explained, adding that a replacement gearbox was fitted at 540 000 km. “The vehicle is getting a bit rusty… I did not think it would last this long, so I stopped body maintenance around the 800 000 km mark. That is the vehicle’s body, not mine, which continues to age no matter what I do,” Manley said. carmag.co.za

THE Modikwa Marathon Club had a very successful Comrades with Leboka Noto finishing as the top runner of the team, he ran into the 236th position out of 19000 runners that started the race. This veteran runner with 4 Comrades gold medals under the belt is still a force to be reckoned with, Leboka trained only for a month in Lesotho while he was on leave and said he could have done even better if he had more time to train. The team said it was a tough race with the extra two kilometres that was added to the race to finish in the iconic Moses Mabida stadium. This was a great finishing area as even more spectators could be housed – the roar in the stadium was deafening as the runners came in, the arrival of the time busses had the crowds on their feet. Two novice runners took part in this year's race, Mokaila Tjie and Violet Mabilta both completed the race and are worthy Comrades champion athletes. The rest of the team was very happy for them and promised to assist them to better their times in the future. Brian Grobbelaar, a true friend of the Modikwa Marathon Club, came in with the sub 12 hour bus and was very happy he could complete the race, the team would like to thank Brian for the support and help with Comrades. The team is also very proud to be a part of the
Qhubeka Bike drive where Anglo CEO Chris Griffith will donate R1000.00 per athlete that completes Comrades 2018. The monies raised will be used to buy bicycles for the needy. The Modikwa team had 9 athletes that completed the race! Well done team Modikwa.
The team would like to thank the employees of the mine for the support and especially the Modikwa management team for making this Comrades possible this year. We are looking forward to the support for the rest of the year's races planned.
Lucas May and Rudolph de Wet competed for the Longtom Marathon Club. We will give those results and Dwarsriver Mine next week. Congratulations to those runners as well.
