From the Highlands Panorama News May you all enjoy a well deserved break
THABA CHWEU Local Municipality welcomed 20 traffic graduates from college, they will resume their duties at the municipality as traffic officials. The officers joined the municipality just in time to tackle the Festive Season operations, the traffic volumes are high and the prevalence of breaking the traffic laws will also be on the rise as the previous year's indicate. With the new recruits, traffic policing will be beefed up within this jurisdiction. ~ Michelle Boshoff

20 Desember / December 2018
Thaba Chweu says it is moving forward Thaba Chweu Local Municipality has improved its audit outcome and has moved one step closer towards receiving a clean audit. The 2017/2018 audit outcome for the municipality as confirmed by the signed audit report received from the Auditor General on 30 November 2018, confirmed that the municipality has finally won the battle of adverse and disclaimer audit outcomes, which has been a struggle for a number of financial years. The current outcome of qualified opinion put the municipality in a good position to work towards an unqualified opinion and
unqualified with no matter's opinion (clean audit outcome) in the coming financial years. The Acting Executive Mayor of the council, Cllr Jonathan Kock said during the last council meeting of the 7th December 2018 that the outcome proved to all those that lost hope towards the leadership of the municipality, that the institution was in good hands, and the only thing needed was a paradigm shift and dedication by everyone associated with the municipality. He reiterated that the political and administrative leadership of the municipality will do everything in their power not to regress from the outcome but rather to improve to ensure clean administration. The Acting Executive Mayor admitted that the improved audit outcome does not mean all is well, as the audit report has highlighted deep concerns about internal controls, compliance with legislation, record keeping and poor financial management. As it celebrates the outcome, it is also expediting the finalisation of the Audit Action Plan which will help improvement around these issues and to submit quality financial information in the 2018/2019 financial year.
Although the municipality has shown a regression in the audit of the annual performance report as the opinion on the objectives selected for testing i.e. basic services delivery and infrastructure development, has moved from adverse in the prior year to being disclaimed in the current year. The internal control environment and systems of the municipality are a cause for concern, the deficiencies raised during the audit will need both the commitment of the executive and administration to work together towards improving them. This regression in the audit of the annual report is attributed to the fact that the municipality has not implemented proper record keeping to support the achievements reported in the annual performance report. This is one key area that the municipality has to retreat to for a strategic session in order to find proper plans to address this observation by the auditors. The municipality must fully deploy resources and skills in order to improve the outcome. The municipality is currently in the process of filling key critical positions including that of a Director Technical Services who is the custodian for the basic service delivery KPA and other positions such as the Managers Performance Management. This will be finalized before the year end. Although we currently enjoy the intervention by various sector departments such as National Treasury, Provincial Treasury, National Cogta and the GIZ ( German Company through treasury) to assist the municipality as one of the distressed municipalities in the province, this outcome should be a motivation to all associated with the municipality to do more. Thaba Chweu belongs to all who reside in it and takes all of us including, the business sector, council and its committees, communities, and the administration to do our part in improving the state of our municipality. Rome was not built in one day and it will not be easy. However we have one foot towards a right direction and we urge all to be part of the Changed Thaba Chweu. This is the ideal, as the municipality we seek to live for and to achieve.

Warmste somer oor 37 jaar gemeet van Januarie na Desember kyk, lyk die prent effe anders. Die laagste ooit was 359.2 mm gemeet in 2003. Die hoogste totaal was 1 260 mm gemeet vanaf Januarie tot Desember 2006. Die 37 jaar algehele gemiddeld vir n kalenderjaar is 737.1 mm. Vir hierdie (2018) jaar staan ons nou op 450.5 mm wat baie laag is. Dit was tot op 18 Desember, so die syfer kan styg as ons vir die res van Desember goeie reën kry. Ter opsomming: Ons beleef ’n baie droë jaar, maar nie die droogste gemeet oor 37 jaar nie. Ons beleef wel die warmste jaar ooit in die 37 jaar. Al hierdie syfers is aangeteken by die Visserye se amptelike weerstasie (1981 tot 1998) en langs die waterwerke (wat naby die visserye is) van 1998 tot tans. Indien daar van u is wat in al my klimaatsyfers belang stel, bring ’n geheuestokkie en ek laai dit vir u af. Andre Coetzee
KOM ons kyk bietjie na ons klimaatstatistieke. Dit is so dat Lydenburg ’n besondere droogte en hoë dagtemperature beleef en ons syfers staaf dit. Wat minimum temperature betref is die jaargemiddeld (Januarie tot Desember) gemeet oor die afgelope 37 jaar 5.3 grade C. Die koudste jaargemiddeld was in 2012 met 1.2 grade en die warmste minimum gemiddeld was in 2005 met 8.0 grade. Vir 2018 staan hierdie syfer op 7.5, wat warm is vergeleke met die gemiddeld. Die algehele jaargemiddelde maksimum temperatuur oor die 37 jaar is 29.4 grade C. Die warmste jaargemiddeld (weereens Januarie tot Desember) was in 2016 met 33.0 grade. Die laagste jaargemiddeld vir m a k s i m u m temperature was 27.0 in 1981. In 2018 was die gemiddeld 33.8, die hoogste ooit. Wat reën betref, kyk ons na seisoenale syfers (Augustus tot die volgende Julie). Die hoogste seisoenale reën was 1 025 mm in 1995/96. Die laagste seisoenale reën was 334 mm in 1992/93. Die 2017/2018 syfer staan tans op 589 mm. Die algehele seisoenale gemiddeld is 753 mm. Let daarop dat die huidige seisoen se reënmaande van nou af tot einde Julie nog voorlê, so ons kan nog nie die huidige syfer van 589 mm met ander LYDENBURG vergelyk nie. 013 235 1486 Wanneer ons egter sales@4ucomputers.co.za na jaarlikse reën et

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 begin 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 Midasvinger 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. Deur Michelle Boshoff
Wat gaan jy doen? WAT gaan jy dié vakansie doen? Gaan jy see toe? Of gaan jy iewers kamp of vir vêr vriende of familie kuier? Gelukkig is petrol effe goedkoper, maar ’n ryery en vakansieverblyf kan nog steeds duur wees. Of gaan jy net rondlê by die huis? Of sê jy ook “Nou gaan ons braai!” Ek val in laasgenoemde twee kategorië. Vandat ons kinders lankal uit die skool is, ry die Coetzees Kersfees, nuwejaar en Paastyd nêrens heen nie.
MATTEUS 23:10: Julle moet julle nie ‘leiers’ laat noem nie, want Een is julle Leier: die Christus. Dankie Vader dat U, U Seun gestuur het om ons Verlosser te wees. Laat ons Hom eer en gedenk - Amen.
Last words of inspiration from our contributor, Pompi Mr Pompi Letwaba, from Lydenburg, writes: From me and my beloved family, we want to thank the Highlands Panorama News and their entire management for the million dollar opportunity to share my views and feelings with the modern day world every week. I personally feel that the Highlands Panorama News goes a million times above the call of duty. The selfless devotion by the paper in educating and empowering both black and white is exceptionally awesome. The powerful role and influence of the media was central in liberating our country from the bondage of apartheid and propagating for reconciliation and prosperity for all. Not all our papers are objective or subject themselves to a simple noble principle of fair and balanced reporting of news. They escape from this high calling of advocating for the truth because of huge financial advertisement. Let us use all the Gupta-run newspapers and television stations and other forms of electronic media as an example. Without fear and favor, some national and local news papers were mum when ill gotten gains or proceeds were directed to their business accounts by morally decayed political ''Judas Iscariot'' of modern day politics. The skin pigmentation was black, the economic sinking hole was perceived to be a radical economic transformation in our lifetime. I aptly argued against some news papers without integrity bargaining at the Barberton farm about which stories to report and embark on a character assassination. The state capture testimony by the former Premier of Limpopo Province, Advocate Ngwako Ramathlodi, was painful to hear. The sad thing is that many newspapers compromised themselves to keep the wishes of fraud and corruption to keep their jobs and maintain their lavish life style. Papers are feeling trapped by the fear of tackling the private sector, corruption and the private sector sponsored hit squads to terrorize the community. I have had meetings with the national leaders of Afriforum and corruption is a big problem on both sides of the fence. May the good Lord bless the planet earth and her children. Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Die gesukkel op die paaie in lang toue en met besope en ongeduldige bestuurders en om ’n plekkie vir jou handdoek op die strand te kry is net te veel. As ek nou ’n bosveldplasie gehad het, kon ek dalk wegkom van mense en die lawaai. Ek kon iewers langs ’n riviertjie of dammetjie onder ’n koelteboom gaan sit en luister na die veld. Na sonbesies, kriekies, voëltjies of die gesnork van ’n rooibok wat vir iets skrik. Maar ek het nie ’n plasie nie. So, wat gaan ek doen? Ma gaan soos altyd koek bak. Kersfees gaan
ons braai, hopelik saam met die kinders, familie en die vriende wat ook met Jan tuisbly se karretjie ry. Ek gaan dalk ’n draaitjie met die motorfiets ry. So vir ’n happie en tappie op Pelgrimsrus, Sabie of Dullstroom. En ek gaan ammunisie herlaai en ’n bietjie skiet. Ek het die speelgoed, so ek sal hulle afstof en speel. Miskien kom doen iemand die herlaaikursus by my. Altyd lekker. As ek lus is, sal ek die voertuie in my erf bietjie diens. Olie tap en filters ruil. Dit is nie werk soos my normale werk nie. Dit is ontspannend. As dit warm is, sal ek voor die TV en die lugversorger of waaier leeglê, maar dit doen ek gewoonlik laatmiddag of saans. So, lyk my ek het ’n vol vakansieprogram. Van vandag af is die koerant toe, tot vroeg in Januarie. As daar iets nuuswaardig gebeur, neem fotos en ons kry die storie in Januarie by jou. Wees rustig en hou matigheid voor oë.

This is the high performance Kia Stinger! KIA South Africa is about to do what nobody else would dare, it’s launched a luxury sedan locally. At a time when Ford has retracted it sedan business in America and the notion of a four-door car with a boot is being eroded by SUVs and crossovers, Kia’s remained committed to illustrating what its engineers are capable of, by bringing Stinger GT to Mzansi. Dimensionally it’s an A4/C-Class/3 Series rival, which is a market segment
most Asian brands have long since given up competing in. Strikingly styled, as only Kia can, the Stinger GT will be South Africans first real opportunity to sample a Korean performance car. Stinger GT specification is generous, as one would expect from a Kia, with 720Watt Harmon Kardon surround sound and every conceivable comfort and convenience cabin feature. In terms of configuration, it’s a dedicated rear-

wheel drive platform, with independent suspension at all four wheel corners and an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle-shift override. When you are competing against S4, C43 and 340i engine performance is paramount and the 3.3-litre V6 powering the Stinger GT is twin-turbocharged to that purpose. Boosting to 272kW, and producing 510Nm at only 1300rpm, this is by far the most powerful Korean car ever marketed in South Africa. Performance statistics are keen, with a 270kph top sped (no limiter?) and 0-100kph sprint time of 4.9 seconds. It has all the elements of an inspiring performance sedan, but the rivals are amongst the best cars you can buy. And priced at R859 995, it’s right amongst them. topgear.co.za

Safe Holiday driving tips AS we head into the season where many people will be driving long-distances to spend time with friends and family, a large portion of these people may be undertaking the trip alone or be the only driver in the car. In addition to the usual challenges faced during this time, solo drivers
face a few more without the help of passengers or co-drivers. The managing director of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, says without other drivers to fall back on, avoiding fatigued driving becomes even more important. “The general rule is that for every two hours of driving, you should have 15 minutes of rest. If, however, you experience more fatigue than 15 minutes can combat, rather consider stopping for longer. Eat something nutritious and stretch your legs before leaving again. Avoid caffeine or foods high in sugar or unhealthy fats as your energy levels will soon crash.” These are the other tips to follow if you will be a solo driver this holiday period: Ensure you get enough rest the night before and avoid leaving early if you did not get enough sleep. If you can, avoid leaving early in general. Some road users travel at night in an attempt to avoid law enforcement which creates another potential safety hazard for other drivers. Know your limits. If you have an eight hour trip ahead of you but know that five hours is the most you can safely do in one day, rather book an overnight stay.
Geniet die vakansie VA N o n s h i e r b y d i e Highlands Panorama Nuus se motor redaksie wens ons u almal ’n rustige en veilige Kerstyd toe. Onthou, een bier plaas jou alreeds oor die alkohol limiet, so indien jy ’n partytjie bywoon, reël vooraf vir ’n alternatiewe motorbestuurder of vir alternatiewe transport. Maak seker jou voertuig is in ’n goeie toestand en kyk na jou bande. Jy wil nie donkeraand op n pad staan met pap bande nie. Kyk uit vir slaggate en swak padtoestande. Koop n blikkie van daardie wit goed wat jy in ’n noodgeval ’n pap band mee kan pomp en ’n lek mee kan seël. Wees veilig! Andre Coetzee
Keep healthy food in the car that will help maintain your energy levels. Examples include proteins like eggs and healthy fats like peanuts. Pack plenty of water and make a point to stay hydrated Position the food and water so that it is easy to get with minimal distraction Plan your stops so that you ensure you stop around the two hour mark. You do not want to skip a stop intending to stop at the next one, only to find out that there is another hour between stops. Ensure you keep your v e h i c l e maintenance up-to-date and do a check on your car before leaving to avoid being stranded next to the road solo. K e e p s o m e o n e updated on your intended route and progress so that should something go wrong they will soon know if you are not on schedule. This i s o n c e i n s t a n c e where it is advisable to keep your cell phone handy in the car in case you run into trouble. l e i s u r e wheels.co.za

MAHINDRA South Africa is celebrating the first six months of local vehicle production as well as its sales growth in the South African market with a limited “Karoo” Edition of its popular Pik Up Double Cab. The Karoo Edition will not only celebrate these Mahindra milestones with additional accessories, but it heralds the introduction of the S6 specification level in the double cab range. In doing so, it has enabled Mahindra to offer a double cab at R299 999 for the 4×2 and R329 999 for the 4×4 version. “Over the past few years, the Pik Up has become one of Mahindra’s bestselling models, thanks to its combination of rugged and reliable mechanical underpinnings and a generous specification level.
MERCEDES BENZ recently added the Unimog U529 to its local line-up. This Unimog is a new concept in the South African agricultural industry offering significant farming versatility with haul speeds of up to 80 km/h. The Unimog UGE529 employs a six cylinder 7.7-litre Mercedes-Benz OM 936 Euro 5 engine, that is equipped with an engine compression brake and offers maximum torque output from as low as 1150 rpm. It also has a central tyre inflation system (CTIS), which allows for inflation and deflation of the vehicle tyres while the vehicle is in motion. The advantage of the CTIS is that it offers excellent traction, protects the soil, prevents compaction, and avoids wheel-spin leading to excessive tyre wear when operating in field. The key concept behind the Unimog U529 is its amazing versatility allowing it to be used in all four seasons, fulfilling agricultural roles including manure spreading, high speed haulage, crop spraying, fertiliser spreading, mowing, raking, baling, firefighting and combine harvester chasing. It has permanent all-wheel drive with driver selectable centre and cross-axle diff locks, portal axles on long travel coil springs attached to the chassis via a parallel torque arm system. The brake system is a full air system actuating dry discs on all four wheels with a fail-safe spring actuated parking brake on the rear axle. The new Unimog U529 comes standard with a 4 year/or 5000 hour warranty. Sales and aftersales support for the Unimog UGE product is available from selected Mercedes-Benz truck outlets in Gauteng, KZN, Mpumalanga, Free State, Western and Eastern Cape. leisure wheels.co.za
“With the introduction of the S6 Double Cab Pick Up, we have amplified the Pik Up’s best qualities and made it available to more bakkie-buyers,” says Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa. The S6 Pik Up double cab has the same specification level as the S6 singlecab models. The list of luxury specifications includes front fog lamps, colour-coded bumpers, and mirrors with side mouldings, remote central locking, a USB-enabled audio system, ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, two airbags, a differential lock and power windows. “For the S6 Pik Up Karoo Limited Edition, we have added a tow bar, tonneau cover, a nudge bar and roll bar and Karoo decals. It has also added rain deflectors on the windows and wheel arch mouldings. The extras on the Karoo Edition tally up to over R28 000 of additional value, and this is added at no cost to the customer,” says Hans Greyling, Head of Sales for Mahindra South Africa. The Karoo Edition gets its name from the very popular locally filmed Mahindra advertisement where an adventure seeker moves heaven and earth to find a farmer’s lost lamb. This tongue-in-cheek ad has won Mahindra an advertising Orchid and has proven very popular among local bakkie owners. The new Mahindra Pik Up with S6 specification level retains the S10 model’s 2 179 cc mHawk common rail injection turbo diesel engine with 103 kW at 3 750 rpm and 320 Nm at a wide band between 1 500 rpm and 2 800 rpm. Like its S10 siblings, the Karoo Edition also has a 210 mm ground clearance and a load rating of up to 1 095 kg and it is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox. Mahindra has also opted to retain the S10 versions’ 5-year / 90 000 km service plan and 4-year / 120 000 km warranty on the new S6 specification level. Service intervals, after the initial 10 000 km lubrication service, is set at every 20 000 km. The Mahindra Pik Up Karoo Edition is available immediately in limited numbers at Mahindra’s more than 60 dealers across South Africa. leisurewheels.co.za

“
Hier staan ons voor die heilige God van hemel en aarde om ’n gelofte aan Hom te doen dat as Hy ons sal beskerm en ons vyand in ons hand sal gee, ons die dag en datum elke jaar as ’n dankdag soos ’n sabbat sal deurbring, en dat ons ’n huis tot sy eer sal oprig waar dit Hom behaag,en dat ons ook aan ons kinders sal sê dat hulle met ons daarin moet deel tot nagedagtenis ook vir die opkomende geslagte want die eer van Sy naam sal verheerlik word deur die roem en eer van oorwinning aan Hom te gee.”
Op Badfontein het ‘n paar honderd mense die afgelope naweek saamgetrek vir die Geloftedagviering wat met ’n kerkdiens afgesluit is Sondag. Foto’s: Liana Van Der Merwe (Cross)
