DA says being put under administration can only be positive CLARITY ON SECTION 139 INTERVENTION - MPUMALANGA An impression has been created by Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Speedy Mashilo, had during his address at the recent SALGA Provincial Members Assembly, divulged that certain municipalities in Mpumalanga would be placed under administration through the Section 139(1). While SALGA does not intend to speak on behalf of the MEC, we would like to set the record straight that the MEC had in no uncertain terms mentioned or listed the municipalities that were being considered for Section 139 related intervention as its being reported. Placing a municipality under administration in terms of section 139 is a process that is not taken lightly. While MEC Speedy Mashilo spoke about Section 139 (1) of the MFMA and not that of the Constitution, there is nowhere in the speech where he lists the municipalities being considered. Section 139(1) of the MFMA says that: “If a municipality, as a result of a crisis in its financial affairs, is in a serious or persistent material breach of its obligations to provide basic services or to meet its financial commitments, or admits that it is unable to meet its obligations or financial commitments, the provincial executive must promptly (a) Request the Municipal Financial recovery Service – (i) to determine the reasons for the crisis in its financial affairs; (ii) to assess the municipality's

financial state; (iii) to prepare an appropriate recovery plan for the municipality; (iv) to recommend appropriate changes to the municipality's budget and revenue-raising measures that will give effect to the recovery plan; and (v) to submit to the MEC for finance in the province – (a) the determination and assessment referred to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) as a matter of urgency; and (b) the recovery plan and recommendations referred to in subparagraphs (iii) and (iv) within a period, not to exceed 90 days, determined by the MEC for finance; and (c) Consult the mayor of the municipality to obtain the municipality's co-operation in implementing the recovery plan, including the approval of a budget and legislative measures giving effect to the recovery plan”. • In view of this press release Mr Nicko J. v. Vuuren said that being put under section 139 (C) can only have a positive impact on the municipality. That will force the municipality to re-administer job titles and start afresh. This press release was viable at our time of going to print, but meetings later in the week could have changed the outcome.

Ys maak heining â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n koue-skouspel

Thousands of job losses can have impact on whole mining sector

Johan en Nita Filmalter het die ys op hul elektriese heining vasgevang die afgelope tyd toe dit so koud was buite Lydenburg.

MPALA Platinum on Thursday last week said that it was working to mitigate the risk of thousands of job losses during its restructuring programme. Implats said it was "fully committed" to minimising the potential impact of the strategic restructuring process at Impala Rustenburg on jobs, as well as the spillover effect that potential job losses would have on the communities near the Rustenburg mining operations. The company said it had little choice but to consider its restructuring process, which involves scaling down on lossmaking operations and divisions, if the company was to generate sufficient cash by the 2021 financial year. Among other things, the company hopes to reduce the operating cost from R25 100 per platinum ounce in 2017 to less than R22 000 per platinum ounce by the 2021 financial year. "The only option for conventional producers is to fundamentally restructure loss-making operations to address cash burn and create lower-cost profitable businesses that can sustain operations and secure employment as far as possible," the company said. It added that the restructuring process would potentially have an impact on 9 000 direct jobs and 4 000 contractor positions over the implementation period. "While labour rationalisation is inevitable in a restructuring process of this nature, due care will be taken to ensure that forced job losses are minimised as far as possible through a range of job loss avoidance measures," the report said. The report from Impala Rustenburg said it would implement necessary changes through consultation "where job losses are unavoidable". "Discussions are already underway with key stakeholders, including government, relevant trade unions and community representatives with regard to this difficult transition to secure the future viability of the operation and preserve jobs as far as possible," Implats said. The company said transforming the Impala Rustenburg operation would result in a cashgenerating business by financial year 2021 and secure up to 27 000 jobs for the long term. www.fin24.com

OM die gesogte jaarlikse SUPERSPAR Winkel van die Jaar toekening te wen is 'n baie spesiale eer vir 'n SUPERSPAR winkel. Dit is die Top Winkel-toekenning vir die Laeveld Streek wat nou al verder as die grense van Suid-Afrika strek tot in Mosambiek en Swaziland. Longtom SUPERSPAR het gedomineer in baie aspekte in die kleinhandel ruimte waarin hulle handel. Van kliëntediens tot sterk diensdepartemente waarin 'n verskeidenheid produkte voorsiening voor gemaak word vir hul wye klantebasis, gaan almal uit hulle pad om te voldoen aan die eise van hul klante. Longtom SUPERSPAR spog met sterk familiebande en betrokkenheid waarop SPAR waardes gebaseer is. Nadat die familie die winkel in 2010 gekoop het, het hierdie familie van kleinhandelaars voortgegaan om die winkel van krag tot krag te laat groei, selfs in nadelige handelstoestande soos in die vorige jaar met 'n afwaartse draai in die dorp se ekonomie, as gevolg van groot werksverliese in die mynbou bedryf en politieke onrus in die dorp. Die ywer en vermoë van Longtom SUPERSPAR om sukses te behaal en onberispelike winkel standaarde te handhaaf het daartoe gelei dat hulle die Wenner van die Laeveld SUPERSPAR Winkel van die jaar toekenning gekry het. TOPS Longtom ontvang die toekenning vir die beste TOPS Winkel in die Laeveld streek. Die vriendelike personeel ken hul gereelde klante by die naam en wend 'n doelbewuste poging aan om selfs eerstekeer kliënte te omskep in gereelde kliente. Die bestuur en personeel werk saam om seker te maak die sukses van hierdie besigheid groei van krag tot krag. Hierdie winkel is dalk nie die grootste een in hulle kategorie nie maar het sekerlik die grootste hart! Trotse oomblik vir Longtom wat wegloop met twee gesogte toekennings by die SPAR Laeveld Toekennings Seremonie wat deel gevorm het van die Laeveld Lede Vergadering op 26 Julie vanjaar. Baie geluk aan die familie van SUPERSPAR & TOPS Longtom. "Longtom SUPERSPAR het baie hard gewerk vir hierdie toekenning en verdien dit volhartig! SPAR Laeveld het daarom geensins gehuiwer om hierdie toekenning aan Longtom SUPERSPAR toe te ken nie. Ons glo hulle verdien dit vir die rol wat hulle speel in die SPAR Organisasie en die Gemeenskap wat hulle dien," het Alison Zweers, Besturende Direkteur van SPAR Laeveld met trots gesê.

VROUE se lot en dit wat hulle bereik het staan kiertsregop in ons bewussyn hierdie maand. Dis 'n emosionele saak. Hier en daar kan vroue en dogters vandag name noem wat bekendheid verwerf het. Maar op die vooraand van Nasionale Vrouedag moet ons daardie name weer in oënskou neem. Daarom is 'Hoorhierso' hierdie week dalk meer formeel. Maar Die Uwe het uit verskeie bronne op die internet 'n rubriek saamgestel as geskiedkundige-lepel waarvan almal 'n happie kan vat. In die Bybel kan mens vroue soos Rut en Naomi, Hanna, Ester, Debora, Rispa en Abigajil uitsonder. Abigajil was die vrou van Nabal, 'n baie ryk man. Volgens die Bybel was hy 'n regte korrelkop en onbeskof, maar sy vrou het 'n goeie verstand gehad en sy was mooi... Deur die eeue het vroue groot rolle in verskeie lande gespeel. Swede was die eerste land wat vanaf 1718 tot 1771 (toe dit teruggetrek is) stemreg toegestaan het aan vroulike belastingbetalers. Ook in die 18de eeu het Corsica, Massachusetts en New Jersey dit vir kort periodes toegelaat. In die laat 19de eeu het sommige provinsies in Australië, enkele Amerikaanse state, en ook Swede, Brittanje, Kanada en kleiner eilande beperkte stemreg verleen. Nieu-Seeland (1893) en SuidAustralië (1894) was voorlopers met omvattende stemreg. Finland (1906) was die eerste land waar vroue kon stem én in verkiesings kon staan, ongeag ras, besittings of sosiale klas. Na 1910 het onder meer Denemarke, Noorweë, Kanada, Duitsland, Pole en Rusland gevolg. België, Hongarye en Nederland het in 1919 vrouestemreg toegestaan; in die twintigerjare die VSA en Swede. Brittanje het in 1928 gelyke stemreg met mans toegelaat en Suid-Afrika in 1930 (vir wit vroue; die ander eers in 1994); in die dertigerjare Spanje en Portugal, Brasilië, Thailand, Turkye en Indië; in die veertigerjare

Frankryk en Italië; Griekeland in 1952, Egipte en Somalië (1956); Switserland eers in 1971 op federalevlak. In Antjie Krog se gedig "Die leeu en die roos" in Otters in bronslaai) word daar gedig dat die trekkers eerder "kaalvoet oor die Drakensberge" sou trek as om onder die Britse juk te staan. Otters in bronslaai, Antjie Krog: “met hulle is ek: al die maaier-ma's di.-oggende by die babakliniek al die ma's op hul knieë voor die kinderbiblioteekrak al die ma's wat sondae verkreukel uit die babakamer kom al die ma's wat saans voor die noodapteek wag al die ma's wat "gebak" skool toe moet stuur al die ma's wat uitvind NIKS haal doekvlekke uit behalwe jik nie al die ma's wat hul arms teen oonddeure brand al die ma's wat nie hul kinders sonder 'n bediende kan grootmaak nie al die ma's wie se kinders hakkel of bednatmaak al die ma's wat skoondogters en lamlendig is uit hierdie vrouens is nie eens kinders te maak nie en godweet, ook nie poësie nie. In die Eerste Afrikaanse Taalbeweging het Die Patriot nie vroueskryfwerk verwelkom nie. Eers 'n jaar later, na die ontstaan van Ons Klyntji, is daar na vrouelesers van die blad verwys. Die groot rol wat vroue in die AngloBoereoorlog gespeel het, het wel erkenning ontvang. In kampdagboeke skryf vroue oor hul kamplewe. Enkele uitsonderinge was dinamiese vroue soos Marie Koopmans de Wet en ML Rompel-

1 TIMOTEUS 3:11 Net so moet vroue ook van goeie karakter wees, nie skinder nie, nugter en in alles betroubaar. Vader gee dat ons ons vroue ook met respek, eerbaar sal behandel - Amen.

EK is erg in die war. Deurmekaar. Môre vier ons vrouedag. ’n Spesiale vakansiedag. Elke jaar gedurende November / Desember het ons 16 dae van aktivisme oor geweld teen vroue. Ons wetgewing is vol van wette oor vroue gelykheid in die werkplek, billikheid en elke ding. Elke aand op die nuus sien ons iemand uitvaar teen geweld op vroue en kinders. Wat is die punt? Dit werk duidelik nie, want daagliks kom daar geweld teenoor vroue voor. Hulle word steeds ongelyk behandel in die werkplek, of dit nou gaan oor posvlak of

Koopman. Die vrou is egter primêr gesien as gesinsmoeder, opvoeder en volksmoeder, in diens van volk en vaderland. Die eerste feministiese boek: Vrou en feminis – deur Marie du Toit (dogter van SJ du Toit en suster van Totius) het in 1921 verskyn en MER het vroeg in die 20ste eeu feministiese idees geopper. D r. P e t r o n e l l a v a n H e e r d e n (1887–1975) was die eerste vrou wat medies gestudeer het (in Amsterdam). Sy was 'n eksentrieke figuur wat mansklere gedra en 'n histerektomie ondergaan het om ontslae te raak van haar vrouedele (sien in Etienne van Heerden se Kikoejoe die karakter Geertruida Sophia Latsky, wat op dr. Van Heerden gegrond is). Met die Taalkonferensie van 1911 was dit vrouestudente wat besluit het dat die brabbeltaal van Engels / Nederlands / Afrikaans wat die vrouestudente op Stellenbosch praat, voortaan vervang moet word met suiwer Afrikaans. Bekende studente soos Anna NeethlingPohl in die twintigerjare, Ina Rousseau en Berta Smit in die veertigerjare, Rykie van Reenen en Elize Lindes (Botha) sou 'n baie belangrike rol speel. Tydskrifte soos Die Boerevrou (1919) en later Rooi Rose en Sarie Marais het baie daartoe bygedra om vroue "mondig" te maak, asook skrywers en joernaliste soos die invloedryke MER (Maria Elizabeth Rothmann) en Audrey Blignault (laasgenoemde het onder andere baie gedoen om 'n leeskultuur te vestig deur die oprigting van leeskringe aan te moedig), Alba Bouwer, Elise Muller en Rykie van Reenen, asook dinamiese vroue-kritici soos Elizabeth Conradie, Anita Lindenberg en Elize Botha. Elisabeth Eybers is die eerste groot Afrikaanse vrouedigter, maar ook een van die groot digters in Afrikaans, terwyl Ingrid Jonker se werk bykans ikoonstatus verwerf het. Onselfsugtigheid teen wil en dank is dikwels vroue se lot. Bekende digter Totius het oor vroue se opoffering gedig: Dit put maar en sy gee maar immer dit put maar en sy weier nimmer, net soos 'n moeder, so opreg, gee sy haar laaste druppel weg!” Vroue hou die toekoms van 'n nasie in hul boesem, en daarvoor kan almal respek toon.

oor salaris. Hulle word mishandel. Geen nuwe planne en kampanjes sal myns insiens werk nie. Hoekom nie? Wel, ons samelewing is siek. Ons tronke is vol. Ons politici praat net.....bla bla bla. En saans slaan gesuipte mans hulle vrouens. Ons samelewing is nie net siek nie, dit is barbaars. Hoekom moet ons spesiale programme reël om vroue te beskerm, as ons kwansuis beskaaf is? Waar is ons opvoedingsprogramme? Waar is ons skole? Waar is ons kerke of predikers? Waar is ons sielkundiges? Ek dink hulle is wel daar, maar hulle werk hulle dood teen hierdie euwel in die samelewing. Lê die probleem dalk dieper? Watter rol speel enkelouer gesinne, waar

dit gewoonlik die man is wat “missing” is? Word kinders groot met ’n begeerte om vroue se gesag te ondermyn omdat sy ma hom geboelie het, of omdat sy pa sy ma gereeld geslaan het? Is dit die norm? Die boffins reken wel so. En ons het miljoene kinders wat grootword sonder ’n vaderfiguur en met gebrekkige dissipline. Ek sê jou dit is omdat ons kinders nie meer ’n ordentlike vader voorbeeld het om na te volg nie en omdat hulle nie van tyd tot tyd ’n behoorlike drag slae mag kry nie. Hulle word groot met ’n houding van “entitlement”. En wanneer hulle groot is, word ’n vrou bloot as ’n objek gesien. Hierdie gemors is ons eie maaksel. Ons kan net sowel al hierdie veldtogte om vrouens te probeer beskerm afskaf, want dit werk eenvoudig nie. Skaf die wette wat lyfstraf verbied vir kinders af en bring dissipline op grondvlak terug.

ADHD explained. You live in a quickly moving kaleidoscope where sounds, visions and thoughts move constantly. You are oftentimes bored, but cannot concentrate on tasks that you need to complete. Unimportant things often attract your attention. Your head drives you from one thought to the next…..one activity to the next. This is what people with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) experience according to the American National Institute for Mental Health (www.nimh.nih.gov). They find it difficult to sit still, plan ahead or do not necessarily have the skills to plan and organise, or complete tasks. According to NIMH there is an imbalance in the neurotransmitters that assist in relaying messages in the nervous system, therefore making it a biological disorder. It can lead to problems with concentration, excessive physical activity and impulsiveness. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are being diagnosed with increasing frequency in both adults and children. It is estimated that over one million people presently have this disorder, which earlier was diagnosed with some other label or not diagnosed at all! There are three basic categories: - Mainly attention deficit with none to mild signs of impulsiveness and hyperactivity – often girls or quiet dreamers. - Mainly impulsive and hyperactive with little to no signs of attention deficit (often boys). -A Combination type with attention deficit, impulsiveness and hyperactivity. Inattention and Destructibility Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes, often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities, often don't listen when spoken to directly, often does not follow through on instructions or fails to finish work, often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities, often avoids, dislikes or is reluctant to engage in tasks requiring sustained mental effort, Often loose things, often distracted by extraneous stimuli, often forgetful in daily activities. Hyperactivity and Impulsiveness Often fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat, often runs or climbs excessively in situations where it is inappropriate, often has difficulty playing quietly, often 'on the go' acting as if driven by a motor, often talks excessively, often blurts out answers to questions before they are complete, often has difficulty awaiting turn, often interrupts or intrudes on others, often has difficulty remaining seated when required to do so. Studies indicate that these children are prone to drop out of school (32 – 40%); have few or no friends (40 – 50%); are involved with anti-social activities (40 – 50%) and are involved in teenage pregnancies (40%). According to Prof. Andre Venter, head of Department Paediatrics and Child Health Care at the University of the Free State. Without treatment and medication these children are more susceptible to depression, anxiety and abuse of alcohol and drugs. ADHD is diagnosed through identification of characteristics as per the DSM V (Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Health), the international diagnostic criteria prescribed to medical practitioners. Six of nine symptoms are necessary for a diagnosis and behaviour must affect their functioning in academic, home and social environments. A proper assessment by a qualified person is required to eliminate possible other causes. Qualified persons are Paediatricians, Paediatric-neurologists, Paediatric-psychiatrists, General Practitioners, Educational Psychologists or Occupational Therapists. Help is available! There is however no quick fixes for ADHD!! Best results are achieved when parent, teachers, therapists (occupational, speech and language and remedial) and medical doctors work together as a team to find the best support system and treatment for the person involved. Can look like, but is not… Allergies and asthma impacts negatively on concentration and attention. Hearing and vision problems affect processing of messages and impacts on attention and concentration Middle ear infections cause hearing impairments. Underachievement in school due to learning problems. Emotional problems as a result of divorce or death in the family. Disruptive behaviour due to anxiety and depression. Attention and concentration difficulties due to Epilepsy or petit mal epilepsy. ADHD is not caused by food-allergies, too much television or other screen time or too much sugar. Although these can exacerbate symptoms!

'n Opwindende tyd in Lydenburg se geskiedenis was toe die dorp die middelpunt van al die sosiale geleenthede was en so ook die ou hotelle. Daar is behoorlik gekuier. Daar was amper in elke straat 'n hotel. Die Grand Hotel, Die Plaugh Hotel, die Transvaal Hotel, die Austin Hotel ens. Waar Trout Inn vandag is was Mountain view, die Austin familie se woonhuis.

Sien bv. op die foto dat dit redelik welgestelde mense was. Hulle het bv. motors en motorfietse gehad. 'n Gedeelte van die Austin Hotel betaan nog – dit het later in 'n woonhuis ontwikkel en daar word vermoed dit is nou prokureurskantore van prokureur Herold. Die Plaugh Hotel was vermoedelik verder af in Potgieterstraat. Die Austins was werklik 'n unieke familie.

Lydenburg News Friday, 15 November 1963 An article about the price of liquor in the late 19th century refers to these times-gone-by as the “good old days”. Information obtained from invoices by R. Schurink and J.L. Schurink, Direct Importers and General Dealers dating as far back as 1895, tells the story. In the article the editorial staff remarks: “We notice that whisky was priced at 45c per bottle and London Dry Gin at less than 30c per bottle. All this, taking into consideration that all liquor was imported and that duty had to be paid as well as railage to Machadodorp and transportation from there to Lydenburg. It would also appear that 'Berg' beer is nothing new as it was sold then already at the Club”. Yes indeed! Them was the “Good old Days.”

THE folks over at Italian coachbuilder Ares Design have released a limited-edition model that they describe as the “ultimate” version of the iconic Land Rover Defender. The Modena-based firm says it has “thoroughly re-engineered” the now-discontinued Defender with a little help from Land Rover specialist JE Motor Works, and plans to build just 53 examples. Packing an “extensively reworked” Land Rover V8 bored out from the stock 4 552 cm3 to a 4 748 cm3, the modified Defender churns out 207 kW and 440 N.m, and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. A bespoke manifold and made-to-measure exhaust system have also been added, along with a special air intake. If you’re after even more grunt (even more than offered by Land Rover itself in the highperformance “Works” model revealed at the start of 2018), the company will gladly add a supercharger to the mix, which hikes that peak power figure to somewhere in the region of 350 kW. The ride height, meanwhile, has been increased by 75 mm (or 50 mm in the case of the supercharged version) and features bespoke JE Motor Works springs coupled with heavy duty Fox shock absorbers front and rear plus revised and recalibrated anti-roll bars. A set of AP Racing front brakes featuring 362×32 mm discs clamped by six-piston AP callipers is also included. Wider alloy wheels (wrapped in 305/70 R18 Cooper off-road rubber) have been fitted, and are framed by bespoke wheel arch extensions fashioned from carbon-fibre. The bonnet is also made from carbon, while more powerful LED lights have been fitted. Besides a little more carbon-fibre around the body, Ares Design says it has also added heavy duty front and rear bumpers, front slide protection, side steps, reinforced front and rear recovery tow points and a Warn front winch. Inside, Ares Design has mixed luxury with practicality, eschewing carpeting in favour of chequer plate aluminium for the flooring, but adding swathes of “the finest Italian leather” and yet more carbon-fibre. Bespoke leather-clad Recaro seats are also included, while the firm says the facia has been transformed into one “fit for a bespoke luxury off-roader”. A Webasto sunroof and leather roof-lining complete the cabin’s makeover. So, how much? Well, Ares Design’s website lists a price of €200 000 to €250 000 (that’s between R3,1- and R3,9-million), and says production of each example will take around eight weeks. carmag.co.za

REMEMBER the crazy Rezvani Tank? Well, the California-based automaker has now added a “Military Edition” derivative to its line-up, fitting the bulletproof newcomer with what it calls the “ultimate” in security features. The firm says this latest version of the body-on-frame Tank has been “designed to withstand urban terrain or apocalyptic attack”. As with the, er, “standard” Tank, buyers can choose from a range of adjustable suspension settings, seat styles and leather options. Power still comes from a 6,4-litre Hemi V8 worth 373 kW as standard, although the Military Edition variant can also be ordered with an optional 527 kW 6,2litre Hellcat V8 for an additional $65 000 (that’s about R880 000). Standard features on the Military Edition model include B7-rated glass armour, added armour around the driver and passenger compartment, a thermal night-vision system, bomb protection, a Kevlar-wrapped fuel tank, radiator protection, reinforced suspension, ram bumpers and military-grade run-flat tyres. Not quite enough? Well, Rezvani also includes “electrified door handles”, a siren/PA system, strobe lights, blinding lights, an intercom system, magnetic dead bolts, gas masks, a first aid kit and even a hypothermia kit. Oh, and a smoke screen, for those times when you really need to lose the bad guys. So, how much for all this? Well, the Rezvani Tank Military Edition starts at $295 000, which is just short of R4million at the current exchange rate. carmag.co.za

ISUZU Motors South Africa says it has hit a 40-year manufacturing milestone in South Africa, with the very first locally built Isuzubadged bakkie having rolled off the production line way back in 1978. Since then, more than 600 000 examples (including the modern KB) have been produced in South Africa. Back in 1978, the Kempston Road plant in Port Elizabeth built its very first Isuzu-badged bakkie. This initial model was launched at a price of a R3 485 if the buyer opted for the 1,6-litre petrol engine or R4 295 if they preferred the 2,0-litre diesel unit. Of course, the story started a little earlier, in the early 1970s, with the launch of the Chevrolet LUV (light utility vehicle), which was imported from Japan. Local production of this vehicle commenced in 1972, but the Isuzu badge (as well as the KB moniker) was applied only when the LUV was facelifted in the late 1970s. “Over the years, Isuzu vehicle assembly experienced many changes. We started production at the Kempston Road plant where we produced five generations and moved to the more modern Struandale plant when we started to build the sixth generation,” said Johan Vermeulen, Isuzu Motors SA executive for manufacturing and supply chain. “With the introduction of modern technology, automation and lean manufacturing processes into automotive manufacturing, we were able to continuously improve efficiencies and quality of our products. Today, six generations later, our modern manufacturing processes and constant upskilling of labour, have made Isuzu bakkies one of South Africa’s favourites,” Vermeulen added. The local arm of the Japanese automaker says its bakkie was the first in South Africa to feature rack-and-pinion steering and independent front suspension, while in the 1990s the brand was the first to introduce doublecabs locally. carmag.co.za

TESLA’s CEO, Elon Musk, started tweeting this week about a possible Tesla pick-up truck. Since Musk is still only thinking about building it at this stage, not much is known. Musk has made some promises regarding the truck. Standard equipment will include two electric motors providing all-wheel drive, self-leveling air suspension and a selection of plugs that will provide power to tools. leisurewheels.co.za
