Pompies Letwaba from Lydenburg writes: The love of truth and ideas fortifies character and strengthens personal conviction. One of the most prudent things about the splendid leadership of President Ramaphosa, is the ThumaMina Campaign. (Here I am send me). Send me to replenish our country which is completely ravaged by general lawlessness by the previous Gupta President Jacob Zuma. The madness from this awful unethical leadership demolished state institutions to the benefit of his Mafia. Thuma-Mina Lord, to restore order and confidence in the NPA, which was the first victim of state capture. Selective prosecution and complete protection of criminals under Mr Shaun 'THE SHEEP 'Abrams was the worst thing to have happened to our democracy. Thuma-Mina Lord, to revive hope and confidence in particular discipline in the most dented image of the men and women in blue, with the Hawks being the worst culprits. The Hawks who were supposed to be fighting fraud and corruption were deeply pitted against one another, highly absorbed in armed robberies and defeating the end of justice. The previous two years I fearlessly engaged both the national and provincial Hawks, covering crimes committed by greedy politicians including corruption engineered by ANC Bohlabela. May I be privileged that due to my bold

initiatives, I survived numerous assassination attempts, may the soul of Mr FLOYD REST IN PEACE for confessing to all social media platforms. Millions of rands in cash were paid to dirty hit squads, money meant to eradicate abject poverty. In simple practical terms, the Hawks in both national and provincial governments are under siege. Dr Nelson Mandela once said' criminals in South Africa are fortunate to appoint themselves and investigate themselves'. The solid foundation of success is discipline, hard work, focus and commitment to a good cause. When state institutions are used to break the social fabric and take charge of unethical behaviour, the end result is anarchy The evil leadership by the first and last tyrant by the Gupta President, Jacob Zuma, turned men and women into stooges as all were instilled with fear and anguish. The nation by fearing to speak truth to power horrendously disrespected GOD and is guilty of the same offence(James 4:17) It hurts and pains my heart that South Africa including Mashishing is fully packed by unemployed graduates some with masters degrees whose sole transgression is embracing the POWER OF EDUCATION. When illiterate people are in position of power both in government and the private sector, management by fear is the order of the day. Here are practical examples of management by fear: Management by fear gives birth to a demon of character assassination. Management by fear gives birth to a demon of blackmailing and gossip. Management by fear gives birth to a demon victimization particularly in workplaces. Management by fear gives birth to a demon of witchcraft stories equivalent to lady Macbeth and the three familiars. Management by fear is incredible stupidity as it discusses people and feels threatened by constructive dialogue by men and women of great vision. It is my wish and hope that you discuss this article as if it never was.

Mahindra to partner with Getaway Show

MAHINDRA South Africa, one of the fastest growing brands in South Africa, has signed on as the naming-rights sponsor and a major exhibitor at this year’s Getaway Show in Johannesburg. Scheduled for the weekend of 14 – 16 September 2018, the Getaway Show, in association with Mahindra, will be the largest outdoor and lifestyle exhibition of its kind. Like before, the expo will be hosted at the TicketPro Dome in Northcliff on the West Rand, Johannesburg. The Getaway Show, in association with Mahindra, will feature hundreds of different exhibitors, including suppliers of outdoor and camping gear, 4×4 specialists, travel operators and outdoor-activity specialists. There will also be several workshops throughout the three days of the expo, where visitors can learn skills and gain insight into subjects such as wildlife photography. There are various synergies when partnering with the Getaway Show, as Mahindra has become a well-known brand in the outdoor lifestyle segment in South Africa. The company’s range of double cabs and 4×4 SUVs offers outdoor enthusiasts various options that perfectly fit their lifestyles. Mahindra will anchor the Getaway Show with a large exhibition of its range of lifestyle SUVs and bakkies. These will include the flagship XUV500, the S10 Pik Up 4×4 and THAR, a new favourite for budget-conscious off-road enthusiasts. “Over the past 14 years, Mahindra has become a trusted alternative to the wellestablished, but very expensive lifestyle vehicles available in the South African market. We have made great strides in introducing models and specific customisation options that meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts, while keeping our vehicle prices in check,” says Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa. Mahindra South Africa will also showcase one of its first locally assembled Pik Ups. The company joined the league of South African vehicle manufacturers in May this year when it opened its assembly facility for Mahindra vehicles in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. At the new assembly plant, Mahindra assembles the full range of Pik Up models, including the Mahindra 4×4 Double Cab Pick Up on display at the show. “Assembling vehicles in Durban has made it possible for us to localise more components and to test different customisation options from local component suppliers,” says Gupta. “Mahindra already has a range of 4×4 accessories, such as a purpose-built approach bumper, which can be fitted by the dealer and which does not affect Mahindra’s vehicle warranty in any way.” Guests at the Mahindra exhibition will also have an opportunity to learn more about Mahindra’s partnership with Leribisi Lodge near Pretoria, where 4×4 specialists are on hand to train new Mahindra owners on the finer details of their SUV or bakkie and showcase its off-road capabilities. Says Hans Greyling, national sales manager for Mahindra South Africa: “South Africans love their outdoor adventure and they are certainly spoilt for choice with the wide range of national parks, lodges, 4×4 routes and breakaway options both here and in our neighbouring countries. “Unfortunately, many of the overland and 4×4 vehicles on offer in South Africa are simply too expensive for many families, which is where we come in. Our range of off-road vehicles and lifestyle SUVs perfectly matches these families’ need for adventure, without breaking the budget.” One example of what Greyling refers to is the Mahindra Pik Up S10 4×4. This model costs R357 995 and is offered with a low range, mechanical rear differential lock, six gears and a 103 kW 2.2 litre mHawk turbo diesel engine with common rail direct injection and turbo charging. Inside the S10 4×4, Mahindra has added luxury features such as an automatic air conditioner, power windows and a touch-screen infotainment system with Bluetooth cellphone connection and a full navigation system.

TOYOTA SA has expanded its updated Toyota Hilux styling identity, which means your brother in law no longer has exclusivity on his recently acquired Dakar edition double-cab. Although entry-level Toyota Hilux derivatives won’t feature the Dakar facade, the look has been applied to SRX grade bakkies and with a few other choice bits of new kit, they offer stellar value. The latest Toyota Hilux update sees Raider gain a new all-black cabin design and the installation of SatNav. Perhaps the best blend of affordability and aspiration regards SRX: follow me home puddle lights and touchscreen audio functionality are now factory fitted to the mid-tier Hilux. Toyota hasn’t forgotten about its utility customers either with specification upgrades to the workhorse Hilux derivatives too. Not everyone needs a 4×4 drivetrain, but ground clearance is particularly useful on a Hilux, for farm and construction crews. To this end Toyota’s revised Hilux range now features a raised body 2.4 GD manual, in the most basic speciation. Previously, the only way you could get steel wheels, ground clearance and utility specification on a Toyota Hilux single-cab was to go with the full 4×4 drive system. Customers who have work crews who spend a lot of their time in double-cab bakkies will be thrilled with changes that have been made to the range too, with a new ‘S’ speciation Hilux double-cab. Rolling 17-inch steel wheels and PVC-cabin trim it’s not a leisure bakkie at all, but one aimed at environments where durability is paramount – industries such as mining, construction and heavy agriculture.

Other things to know about the revised Toyota Hilux range? You can now option the Inferno Orange colour on derivatives which are not Dakar edition and finally, we have a Hilux range that mirrors that of our right-hand drive Australian friends. You know what means? Yes. Toyota South African has decided to also introduce the chassis cab Hilux single-cab models, for those who want the ultimate platform for loadcarrying bakkie customisation. top gear.co.za

plush cabin. And, despite already o ff e r i n g a c o n v e r s i o n f o r t h e Volkswagen Amarok, the Poland-based firm has now released a slightly different option. Just 500 units will be produced, each bearing a 13-piece body kit, mud-flaps and an individually numbered plaque. The add-on parts – which include bumpers (fore and aft), chunky wheelarch extensions and a bonnet guard – have all been coated in special protective paint. The kit furthermore includes bold body decals and 18-inch alloys wrapped in 265/60 BF Goodrich All Terrain rubber. Inside, you’ll find swathes of Nappa leather, decorated with “unique seams and quilting patterns”. A new steering wheel, wrapped in a mix of conventional and perforated leather, is also included, along with fresh floor mats. And what if you want to give the Amarok’s 3,0-litre V6 turbodiesel heart a fresh soundtrack? Well, on the list of options (which also includes a Pedders suspension lift kit and roof-mounted lights), you’ll find a custom exhaust system equipped with Maxhaust’s sound booster, which the firm promises will give the bakkie “a true rally character”. The price for the conversion (sans extras)? Some €13 995 (that’s about R230 000). carmag.co.za

New Suzuki Jimny SUZUKI revealed its new giant killer today at the 2018 Johannesburg Festival of Motoring in Johannesburg – the all-new Suzuki Jimny. The new Jimny fills the very big shoes of its predecessors, which were responsible for creating a new market segment for compact, affordable, capable and – most importantly – fun, off roaders. In fact, this ladder-framed, low-range vehicle made Suzuki so iconic and loved that this is only the fourth all-new model since the LJ10 was launched in 1970. The new Jimny made waves when it was officially unveiled in Japan in June this year for its bold, angular styling, which includes the most iconic signature elements of each of its predecessors. • An overall angular design that is reminiscent of the first LJ and second generation SJ model ranges; • The round headlamps and separate round orange indicators of the LJ10, the first generation; • Side bonnet slits and an angular front windscreen from the SJ series – the first range to be called Giant Killer by the 4x4 community; • Steel wheels similar to the SJ series on the GA spec level; • A clamshell bonnet and upright grille like the SJ and previous generation Jimny; • A moulded rear bumper with lights in the furthermost corners, like the SJ series. The new Jimny adds some unique features of its own, which include a full drip rail around the roof, which is both functional in rain and off-road conditions and which allows for the easy fitment of a number of roof rails and other accessories. Inside the cabin, Suzuki’s designers have also added hints of the new Jimny’s forebears, such as exposed painted metal window frames at shoulder height, a speedometer and tachometer in separate square binnacles and the fit-for-purpose dashboard with many storage binnacles and three-layer design. The new model is built on a new ladder-frame chassis with a patented “X”member between the two rigid axles for 1.5 times the torsional rigidity of its predecessor. Both axles remain rigid, a boon in sand and mud driving; and with the addition of new coil springs and shock absorbers the Jimny now has a 210 mm ground clearance, 20 mm more than before. The ladder frame benefits from Suzuki’s leading Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) which uses modern design, high-tensile steel and an integrated cabin and chassis system to provide greater collision protection. The new ladder frame and TECT-enabled body has left the Jimny’s wheelbase unchanged at 2 250 mm, but has increased the front and rear track by 40 mm and the vehicle width by 45 mm. The overall vehicle length has been shortened by 50 mm, thanks in part to the new moulded bumpers. Under the clamshell bonnet, Suzuki has fitted its modern K15B petrol engine. This 1,5 litre four cylinder unit replaces the 1.3 litre M13A engine of the previous model and delivers 75 kW at 6 000 rpm and 130 Nm at 4 000 rpm. The new K15B-engine is 15% lighter than the 1.3 litre unit it replaces. The lighter weight, higher compression ratio and overall improvement in efficiency mean that this engine uses more than 14% less fuel than both the manual and automatic versions of its predecessor. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and an optional four-speed automatic gearbox in GLX specification. All new Jimny models are fitted with a 4x4 system called AllGrip Pro®, which allows the driver to comfortably switch between 4x2 (rear-wheel drive), 4x4 high and 4x4 low range with a secondary gear lever. This system is supported by both the vehicle stability control (ESP) and a new Brake-enabled Limited Slip Differential system. The ESP-system is standard on all models and adjusts its functioning based on the number of wheels driven and the road conditions. Similarly, the Brake LSD will adapt its support between 4x4 high and low modes and will detect slippage and distribute power (or brake a spinning wheel) between paired wheels on an axle and between the front and rear axles. The Brake LSD and ESP-systems are further enhanced by the integrated Hill Hold Function and Hill Descent Control. These systems will not only enhance the everyday ease of driving but will improve the vehicle’s capabilities off the beaten track. Lastly, the new design has enabled Suzuki’s engineers to improve on the Jimny’s already legendary off-road CV. The Jimny’s approach angle has improved from 35 degrees to 37 degrees, the breakover angle is up to 28 degrees from 27 degrees and the departure angle has improved significantly from 46 degrees to 49 degrees. While Suzuki did not want to compromise the compact character of the Jimny lineage, it has improved driver and passenger comfort and added practical storage concepts in response to owner feedback. The front seats are 55 mm longer than before and have wider seat cushion frames. Interestingly, Suzuki engineers have lowered the seat bolsters to allow comfortable shoulder movement when the driver and front passenger want to look around and behind them, for instance when they navigate a tricky obstacle in the bush. The front seats also have an improved sliding range of 240 mm to accommodate longer drivers. Front occupants have 30mm more legroom than before and the rear passengers have a massive 40 mm more space and a higher hip point, for greater comfort. This is easily the roomiest Jimny ever. In South Africa, Suzuki has added its 7” SLDA – smartphone linkage display – to the new GLX-specification. This large touch screen is fitted with Apple Carplay, Android Auto and Mirror Link to accommodate most smartphones’ in-car features and voice control functionality available in the market today. In designing the new interior, Suzuki has focused on comfort and practicality. There are a number of additional storage bins that are perfect for a smartphone and the split rear seats now fold flat into the vehicle floor on certain specification levels. The rear load bay is a joy for overland age

enthusiasts. The luggage area on models with split seats is covered in hardy moulded plastic and has several tie-down hooks, a 12V socket (on the GLX) and multiple utility screw holes under the rear windows and in the load bay. Suzuki has also designed a large removable luggage box that is part of the comprehensive option catalogue, and just behind the rear door sill there is a hidden toolbox that can also be removed. To widen the appeal of the all-new Jimny, Suzuki South Africa will introduce both a GA and GLX specification level. True to Suzuki’s value-for-money and family-first ethos, both specification levels will have a full-sized spare wheel, ABS brakes, brake assist (BAS), electronic stability control (ESP), ISOFIX anchors for child seats and dual SRS front airbags. Both models will also have the AllGrip Pro® 4x4 system with low range transfer gear and the Brake LSD traction control system. The GLX specification – available with the choice of manual and automatic gearboxes – include features such as a leather-covered multi-function steering wheel, electric windows, colour coded door handles and mirrors, 15” alloy wheels, LED projector headlamps, remote keyless access with central locking and front fog lights. GLX models also have the 7” touchscreen with smartphone connectivity and Bluetooth handsfree operation, cruise control and the 50:50 split rear bench with two headrests.

Tingeling Kleuterskool se konsert 'n reuse sukses T I N G E L I N G Kleuterskool, Steelpoort het hul jaarlikse konsert gehad die afgelope naweek. Die kindertjies was omtrent opgewonde om aan almal te wys waaraan hulle so hard geoefen het. Tingeling Kleuterskool se saal was stampvol. MJ Productions van Pretoria is genader om die musiek, beligting en DVD te behartig en dis opsigself groot vir Steelpoort want hulle doen ook werk vir KykNet! Die kindertjies het opgetree met geen h u l p v a n d i e onderwysers tydens die konsert nie en vir hulle ouderdom is dit 'n groot prestasie. Me Lu-ann Heyl, hoof van Tingeling Kleuterskool wil graag almal wat betrokke was met die konsert uit haar hart uit bedank. “Dankie ook aan al die kindertjies, ouers en ons Almagtige Vader,” sê Lu-ann.

A Spring hike through Paardeplaats Retreat AN enthusiastic group of hikers, dressed in fancy "spring gear", took part in the very first BNI Spring Walk at Paardeplaats Nature Retreat on Saturday. 1 September. Lydenburg's JJs Gym was well represented by staff and gym members on this 6km scenic hike on the Nooitgedacht plateau, along gold mining ruins and spectacular views of the Finsbury valley. The Green Spot Wellness Centre provided an energising goodie bag and Brian Whitehorn had a boerewors roll ready after the hike. Funds raised went to the "Friend in Need" charity. It was agreed that the Spring Walk will be a fixture on the calendar from now on. ~ Gerda Whitehorn
