Modder en stof was die elemente wat almal in gedy het... hoe meer hoe beter. Van die toeskouers tot die deelnemers by die Wildevy 4x4 Dag het Saterdag stof opgeskop. Selfs die groot bergfietsren het groot aftrek gekry en die stalletjies word elke jaar beter. - Foto Reinet Bell

Glencore hands over plant equipment and machinery for development
G
LENCORE Lydenburg Smelter has established itself as an organisation who has the interest of the entire community at heart. Their commitment towards local economic development was again confirmed on Friday 20 July 2018 at a hand-over ceremony where plant
equipment and machinery was handed over to Sicendiwe, a black female owned company, which forms part of the smelter's Enterprise Development Programme. The smelter has established a support structure to upcoming enterprises in partnership with Reagopele Capital and the Masisizane Fund, an Old
Mutual initiative established to provide loan financing and support to small, medium and micro enterprises. An incubation programme is followed pre- and post-funding to ensure growth and sustainability of businesses in the programme. A 3 year contract was awarded to Sicediwe which is owned by Mary Mkhabela. The company currently employs 15 people from the local community. “I would like to achieve my set business goals, in particular, our current project in the Mashishing and
Lydenburg communities” said Mary Mkhabela. Mr Conroy van der Westhuizen, General Works Manager of Lydenburg Smelter said that they are passionate about enterprise development and would continue to help young inspiring entrepreneurs reach their goals. Mrs Selina Mashigo Sekgobela, Mayor of Thaba Chweu, attended the function and thanked Glencore Lydenburg Smelter for all their help and initiatives towards upliftment of the community. Reinet Bell.

Johan Filmalter het hierdie mooi foto geneem van ’n reënboog onderweg na Ohrigstad. Selfs die winter gee kleur.
AFTER interruption to Thaba Chweu’s power supply started in October 2017 several actions have been taken by large business. The Sabie, Lydenburg/ Mashishing and Graskop Chambers of Commerce are at the head of resolving this in aid of the businesses and residents. Thaba Chweu has a debt of roughly R400 million with the power company. The Mpumalanga Circuit Court, functioning as the High Court of SA, postponed the case till 14 August. The top 10 defaulting municipalities owe about R13 billion to Eskom in total over four provinces. Maluti A Phofung, Matjhabeng and Ngwathe local municipalities are in the Free State Province. Emalahleni, Govan Mbeki, Lekwa and Thaba Chweu local municipalities are in Mpumalanga. A forensic report reveals a litany of mismanagement and fraud in Thaba
Chweu, including millions spent on services not rendered and RDP houses for friends – and nothing has been done to stop it. Corrupt officials in the Mpumalanga municipality have allegedly milked more than R300 million by stealing and selling its land, paying for services that weren’t delivered and paying to build at least one road that does not exist. The looting of the Thaba Chweu Local Municipality has left it struggling to pay off its R400 million debt to Eskom, engulfed it in service delivery protests and resulted in disclaimer audit opinions from the Auditor-General for the past eight years. A section of the forensic report relating to the waste indicates that the municipality lost R201.2 million – which cannot be recovered. However, it can still try to recoup R84.4 million in fruitless expenditure.

Lekker soos ’n wintersdag Niks was koud aan die NG Moedergemeente se basaar die afgelope naweek nie. Daar was warm vermaak, warm glimlagte, warm kos en self warm-geryde motors. Dit was eintlik ‘n groot markdag en almal het hul staal gewys om weer ‘n heerlike fees vir die dorp te hou. ~ Michelle Boshoff
GALASIËRS 3:8: Die Skrif het vooruit geweet dat God ook mense wat nie Jode is nie, sou vryspreek as hulle glo. Daarom het die Skrif al voorheen die goeie nuus vir Abraham gebring: “In jou sal al die nasies geseën word.” Dankie vir hierdie blye boodskap Here - Amen.
EK praat nie hier van iets wat alkoholverwant is nie. Nee, ek praat van die herlaai van ammunisie. Goed 70% van alle gelisensieerde vuurwapeneienaars beoefen sportskiet, of hulle oefen, of hulle skiet skyf na teikens en valplate. Al hoe minder kan jag bekostig. So ’n besigheid kan baie duur wees. In die ou dae het ons herlaai om geld te spaar en daardie besparings is vandag nog groter. Herlaaiwerk is een van die oudste vorme van herbenutting. Ons het ook
herlaai vir groter kalibers (veral in natuurbewaring) vir gevaarlike wild en vir ammunisie wat onbekombaar was, so baie van dié werk was eksperimenteel. Die meeste jagters jag op kort afstand tot so 250 meter, so fabrieksammunisie se akkuraatheid is meestal voldoende. Dinge verander. In die ou dae was groot kalibers dié ding. Vandag is langafstandskiet met klein kalibers soos 6.5 mm groot mode. Dit vereis ammunisie wat spesiaal met uitnemende prestasie as mikpunt, gebou moet word en wat plat trajekte skiet. Net die keuse van ’n bepaalde koëlpunt raak ’n groot storie. Die
handleiding wat saam met my herlaaikursus gaan, is oor ’n lang tyd vanuit die beste literatuur en ervaring saamgestel, maar ek leer nog elke dag iets nuuts en moet die handleiding derhalwe aanpas. Meeste van my kliënte is Afrikaans en ek is gesteld op die korrekte terminologie. Maar ek hou by. So, saam met dryfmiddels en brandsnelheid gebruik ek ook nou nuwe tegnologie en terminologie en ek leer die ouens van noniuspassers, dopskillers, waggelmeters, chronograwe, vlamgat hervormers en elke ding, sodat hulle ’n bosluis se oog op ’n wildebees op 1 000 meter kan probeer uitskiet! Die gehalte van ordentlik herlaaide ammunisie kan nie deur massa fabrieksproduksie geëwenaar word nie. Dit is ’n feit. Maar dit is ook ’n feit dat die moer agter die roer moet leer skiet!

Special patient dies from severe injuries
This python was found in a nature reserve outside Lydenburg, after a dog bit it. Neels Bothma was called for assistance and Dr Marietjie Malan treated the python, but it did not survive its injuries. Left: Patracia Mafeta, vet assistant, helping Neels Bothma handle this special patient.
Slangstories SOOS genoem in die vorige artikel is daar ongeveer 160 verskillende slang spesies in Suidelike Afrika. Die giftige spesies word verdeel in: Kobras en Mambas. Adders, Boom en Voëlslange en een Sypikslang. Minder giftige en onskadelike spesies is 'n baie groter groep. Ten eerste word die groter groep bespreek, want dit word meer opgemerk in sekere dele as meer giftige soorte. Matig giftige slange en onskadelike slange kom dwarsoor Suid Afrika voor. Die bekendste onskadelike slange is verseker Bruin Huisslange en Molslange, wat regoor die subkontinent voorkom. Onskadelike slange is blink, maar daar is uitsonderings wat genoem gaan word. So is giftige spesies weer dof, met ook uitsonderings. Dit beteken nie dat blink slange net

gehanteer kan word sonder gereedskap of beskerming nie ! Bruin Huisslange is meestal nagaktief, wanneer die voedsel, wat rotte en muise insluit, ook aktief is. Dis maklik uitkenbare slange: Bruin van kleur, blink, met twee ligte kleur strepe wat langs die kante van die kop sigbaar is. Die boonste strepe begin by die neus en oor die oog tot sover as 'n derde van die liggaam. Die onderste strepe begin ook by die neus, onder die oog tot by die hoek van die bek. Dis die enigste Suid Afrikaanse slang met hierdie kenmerke. Die pens is wit tot liggeel en die oogpupil is vertikaal. Huisslange is nuttige, skadelose slange wat baie naby menslike aktiwiteite voorkom, en vandaar die naam. Dit is n wonderlike knaagdier verwyderaar, en verdien beskerming. Baie word gevind in tuin rommel, komposhope en dikwels in buitegeboue opsoek na voedsel of skuiling. 'n Hele rotfamilie kan deur 'n groot huisslang, wat tot 1,5 m lank kan word, verwyder word. Bruin Huisslange byt maklik as dit bedreig word, maar die kort tandjies kan min skade veroorsaak. Klein slangetjies vreet geitjies totdat hulle groot genoeg is om werweldiere te neem. Net soos alle diere het Huisslange ook vyande. Vylslange, kobras, sweepslange, likkewane asook voéls gebruik hierdie reptiele as 'n voedselbron. Baie word deur onkunde of vrees doodgemaak, wat knaagdiere die geleentheid gee om skade aan te rig. Bruin Huisslange lé tussen 8 en 18 eiers in die vroeë somer, wat 60 tot 90 dae neem om uit te broei. Baie eiers wat in die kouer Hoëveld gelê word, kan oorwinter, en tot 6 maande neem om uit te broei. Kleintjies is tussen 190 tot 250 mm by geboorte. Wyfies is bekend om meer as een broeisel eiers per seisoen te lê. Deur Neels Bothma. Skakel hom gerus met verwante navrae by: 082 730 3047.

Baseline data and policy changes needed for small business to deliver jobs target for NDP - Data, key to unlocking 'new dawn' for small business - South Africa has only a quarter of a million formal SMMEs, far off the mark of current estimates - Early research shows while 98,5% of SA economy is SME's, they're only delivering 28% of jobs - Employment concentrated: 56% of jobs come from 1000 largest employers (includes govt) - SBI calls for immediate shut down of Department of Small Business Development. Ahead of Government's Job Summit, the SBI is warning that the National Development Plan's goal of small business creating 90% of jobs by 2030 will be stillborn unless this vital segment of our economy is properly understood. The SBI, in partnership with the Small Business Project (SBP) launched the early findings of South Africa's first and most comprehensive study to determine the size, nature, challenges and potential of small to medium sized companies in South Africa. Bernard Swanepoel, chairman of the SBI, explained the study is intended to deliver the baseline facts needed to underpin policy interventions and strategic planning for small business development in South Africa. It will provide fresh, accurate data to help steer the country's small business segment in the right direction. “Right now, we are flying in the dark,” says Swanepoel. “It's no surprise then that we can't seem to make headway tackling unemployment and inclusive economic recovery and growth if we're relying on guesswork. No matter how good government's intentions are, without the facts, policy to help SMEs will be based on ideology or ignorance.” “The early research has already made some alarming findings,” says Swanepoel. Despite comprising a relatively high proportion of 'formal' firms (98.5% in 2016) micro, small, and medium enterprises provide much lower proportion of jobs than previously estimated (28% in 2016). Employment in South Africa is relatively concentrated - the 1000 largest companies (which include government) employ 56% of those who have jobs. Large firms have added more jobs and grown employment at a faster rate in the 2011 to 2016 period than small business. Small firms pay more to retain staff than the larger firms (as a percentage of turnover) but are not employing people at a desirable rate. “A matter of great concern highlighted by the review is that South Africa's small business segment is an outlier internationally in respect of SMEs' contribution to GDP, employment and the fiscus,” says Chris Darroll, CEO of SBP. “For example, in OECD countries, over 95% of enterprises are SME's, accounting for between 60%-70% of the working population and contribute as much as 60% to GDP. Small businesses continue to be as economically fragile as they were over two decades ago, with some 70% of emerging small businesses failing within the first two years of operation. We need the right data to get the right answers to develop the right policies.” The research also found that government has failed to apply a common definition of a small, very small, or medium business across its laws, regulations and key strategies. The definition of small enterprises was completely inconsistent across the 70 laws, regulations and key government strategies it reviewed. “This lack of policy harmony generates a mind-boggling amount of red tape, confusion, and barriers for SMEs starting, running or growing their businesses despite the advent of a Department of Small Business Development tasked with coordination, red-tape reduction and data collection. It has failed in its mandate – the minister has yet to issue guidelines to enforce Section 18 of the Small Business Act which requires all cabinet ministers to review the impact of their actions on SMEs. The only rational course of action is to shut it down and collapse it into a nimble, strategic unit in the Presidency,” says Swanepoel. The study's early findings confirm that despite good intentions, most small business policy and supportive initiatives developed over the years – by both the private and public sector – fail since their assumptions and data have been wrong. In the research, for example, the CEO Initiative's SASME Fund identified 84 000 firms with turnover between R20m and R500m as its 'investable universe' when in fact there are more likely to be only 20 000 - 40 000 firms the fund could support. “ The results of the baseline research, as well as position papers to support an advocacy campaign, Ruim 4 slaapkamer huis op plot, 2 badkamers, studeerkamer, will be released in sit/eetkamer.

He says the region's event was hosted at Rob Ferreira Hoërskool and clocked in a recordbreaking 494 participating riders.
