Nyaope a scourge to be wary of THE Kathu police would like to inform the residents of Kathu and its surrounding areas of the dangers of the street drug called nyaope. Nyaope (also known as whoonga or wunga) is a highly addictive, dangerous and destructive street drug unique to South Africa. The drug made a name for itself between 2000 and 2006 in the Tshwane (Pretoria) townships of Soshanguve, Attridgeville and Mamelodi. Users are so desperate to make the drug that gangs have robbed anti-retroviral clinics in Soweto. A single hit can cost as little as R30 for a parcel or straw and is smoked by heating the cocktail of ingredients and inhaling the fumes. What are the effects of using nyaope? Initially users feel euphoric or, when using heavier doses, a wonderful sense of relaxation, but the effects soon wear off and another hit is required. For some users the less pleasant side effects include stomach aches, muscle cramps and generally feeling really ill, but when these ease up, they use nyaope again. Experts say just using it once is enough to get users hooked – similar to heroin addiction. Withdrawal is said to be especially harrowing and include symptoms of stomach cramps, insomnia, diarrhoea
and vomiting. Nyaope is a cocktail of illegal drugs. Both heroin and dagga, which are the main narcotic ingredients of nyaope, are listed as undesirable dependence-producing substances in the Drugs Act. Some of the drugs are also reported to contain crystal meth. According to some police experts and drug rehabiliation centres, nyaope is essentially just a rebranding of older heroin-based drugs. It is not always clear what else nyaope consists of and the ingredients vary from place to place. Some of the alleged ingredients are a cocktail of antiretroviral drugs, milk powder, rat poison, bicarbonate of soda and pool cleaner. Users also report that, when using nyaope, they can go for days without eating, which in turn weakens their immune system and makes them vulnerable to infection. ) Individuals that wish to seek help can contact the South African Narcotics Anonymous helpline at 083-900-6962. Kathu also has a local support group for those who struggle with substance of alcohol abuse. Contact Schalk van Schalkwyk on 084-673-1075 or Christopher Grobler on 076-988-3844. Meetings are held at 9 Kristal Street in Kathu on Thursdays at 18:30.

Achievers receive awards
ANGLO AMERICAN’S Kumba Iron Ore recognised a record number of employees at the company’s annual Laurel Awards event which was held at the Emperors Palace in Johannesburg. A total of 88 Laurels, Kumba’s highest accolades, were awarded to individuals and groups – compared to 59 last year. These comprised 43 achiever awards, 14 for partnership, 15 for safety, 6 for sustainability and 10 for innovation. The Gold Awards in the various categories went to the Kolomela Mine in Postmasburg (partnership) for the mine’s exceptional productivity, resulting in it exceeding the 2013 production target by 20%. The Value-in-Use iron ore testing facility and pilot plant in Pretoria won the award for safety for going ten years without a single lost-time
injury; the Kumba legal team won the sustainability award for negotiating the new supply agreement with ArcelorMittal SA and the Laskas Technicians team of the Sishen Mine in Kathu won the award for innovation for installing an anti-rollback system on all the mine’s ultra-class haul trucks to improve safety. An individual and a team were also selected per category to represent Kumba at the global Anglo American Applaud Awards that are held every two years. In addition to the teams who won gold, the following individuals were selected: Keaobaka Matilo, a LED officer at the Kolomela Mine, (partnership) for his role in extending gr. R programmes to public schools in the Northern Cape; Franco Lewis, a safety officer at the Kolomela Mine, (safety) for his role
in ensuring full compliance with safety legislation and company standards; Gosego Lekgetho, former LED officer at the Kolomela Mine, (sustainability) for spearheading the construction of a primary health-care facility in Postmasburg; and Johan de Jager (innovation), a welder of the Sishen Mine, for coming up with four different innovations (alpha projects) to improve the production and safety of shift workers. The Laurel Award winners do not get cash, but get to draw the names of charities to receive the money on their behalf. In total R360 000 was donated to 12 charities (R30 000 each) at the Laurel Awards event. “In this way, we not only celebrate the achievements of our employees, but many of those less fortunate than us get to share in this celebration, said Kumba CEO Norman Mbazima.

Reuben slyp solank kwinkslae Lizette Slabber REUBEN MURPHY, ’n gr. 12leerling aan die Hoërskool Upington, gaan Saterdag aan die eindronde van die Spontaankompetisie deelneem. Dit vind op die Vryfees in die Blêrkas op die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) se kampus plaas. Reuben is in Mei as die streekwenner van die Upingtonuitdunronde gekies. Die Spontaankompetisie was voorheen net ’n sangkompetisie, maar vanjaar het dit sy vlerke gesprei om ’n groter verskeidenheid van talent in te sluit. Dit is juis danksy die verbreding van talentmoontlikhede dat Reuben sy staal getoon het. Tydens die uitdunronde wat deur die Kalahari Bulletin in die Naba Lodge aangebied is, het Reuben die gehoor laat skaterlag met sy komiese optrede. Met sy fyn kwinkslae en die
manier waarop hy grappenderwys na aktuele sake verwys het, het hy die skare laat kraai van die lag. Volgens Neville Schubach, Reuben se drama-afrigter, is Reuben werklik ’n gebore komediant. “Hy het die vermoë om ontsettend vinnig op sy voete te dink. “Hy het ’n ongelooflike liefde vir die teater en is mal daaroor om mense te laat lag,” sê Schubach. Hy meen Reuben kan menslike swakhede uitstekend uitlig en dit baie snaaks uitbeeld. “Hy het ’n groot voorliefde vir die absurde en ’n baie fyn komiese aanvoeling,” voeg Schubach by. Reuben gaan in die eindronde twee komiese sketse doen. Hy tree Saterdag van 12:00 tot 14:00 saam met die ander finaliste op. Toegang is gratis.
REUBEN MURPHY

Tyd om oor lewe te besin
DIE vakansie wat end se kant toe staan, skep die geleentheid vir ’n mens om ’n blaaskans te kry en opnuut te besin oor jou lewe en werk. Die tyd waarin ons leef, stel geweldig baie eise. Baie mense kry geldelik swaar en ’n vaste aanstelling het uiters skaars en kosbaar geword. Juis daarom is dit noodsaaklik om tyd aan beplanning te bestee. ’n Mens moet weer seker maak wat die belangrikste doelwitte in jou lewe is, die dinge wat voorkeur bo ander moet kry. En daarna moet jy seker maak dit wat die belangrikste is, kry die meeste van jou tyd en aandag. ’n Mens moet byvoorbeeld jou dag so beplan dat jy iewers ’n tydjie afknyp om net stil te word en jou “batterye” daagliks te herlaai. Miskien is dit nodig om net ’n halfuur vroeër te gaan slaap sodat jy ’n halfuur vroeër kan opstaan. Probeer ook jou dag so inrig dat daar nooit ’n koorsagtige gejaag ontstaan nie. ’n Gejaagde lewe is onnodig dreinerend en ontneem ’n mens van jou vreugde. Maak dan ook seker jy ruim daagliks tyd in vir die mense na aan jou, wat hopelik onder die topdrie voorkeure in jou lewe is. Probeer jou bes om jou geldsake sorgvuldig te beplan, want as jy sonder ’n begroting en geldelike dissipline lewe, stamp ’n mens die een of ander tyd jou kop. Moenie wag om hulp in te roep van kundiges as die faset van jou lewe in ’n chaos is nie (en moenie skaam of sleg voel nie, dit is die geval in die meeste mense se lewe). Hier volg sommer nog ’n paar
wenke om jou lewensgehalte te verbeter: ) Die TV is ’n gevaarlike tydrower. As jy jouself (of jou gesinslede) betrap dat julle doelloos tussen kanale rondswerf, is dit tyd om die masjien af te skakel en iets sinvols te doen. ) Wees goed vir jouself. Maak seker jy doen gereeld iets wat opbouend en positief vir jou is. ) Wees goed vir die mense om jou. Probeer om gereeld iets goeds en moois vir hulle te doen, al is dit net om ’n sleurwerkie oor te neem. ) Maak seker daar is ’n gesonde taakverdeling in die huis. Dit beteken veral die ma in die huis word beskerm teen byvoorbeeld kinders wat hul goed oral laat rondlê vir haar om op te tel. ) Probeer om minstens een keer per maand as gesin iets lekkers saam te doen. ) Kom gereeld in die buitelug en ervaart en waardeer die skoonheid van die omgewing. ) Probeer om jou gedagtes op positiewe dinge te rig – ’n mens word wat jy dink, en ’n mens se lewe neig in die rigting van waaraan jy die meeste dink. ) Kry positiewe vriende, en probeer om self een te wees. ) Moenie jou siek bekommer oor dinge waaraan jy niks kan doen nie. En as daar dinge is wat jy kan doen om jou bekommernisse te verminder moenie uitstel hiermee nie. As lesers nog wenke het oor hoe ’n mens jou lewensgehalte kan verbeter, stuur dit gerus aan die Kalahari Bulletin. Baie sterkte vir die tweede helfte van die jaar. Mag dit met al die lesers net al hoe beter gaan.
Mandela-dag ’n eer Lizette Slabber JULIE is altyd vir my ’n heerlike maand. Die lang skoolvakansie laat ’n mens weer asem skep en die lekker lê en lees onder ’n spul komberse is altyd een van my gunsteling-maniere om af te skakel. Dit wat Julie egter besonders maak, is Mandela-dag, oftewel Mandela-maand. Dit is altyd vir my heerlik om die innoverende maniere te sien waarop mense veel meer as net 67 minute afstaan om ander te help. Van al die maniere waarop Nelson Mandela mense aangeraak het, is Mandela-dag vir my die kosbaarste. Dit is hoe ek dink elke mens onthou moet word. Elke mens moet daarna strewe om op dié manier sy nalatenskap te skep. As elkeen probeer om op sy of haar verjaardag iets goeds oor die wêreld heen vir ander te doen, ander te help en ander mense se
nood te probeer verlig is geen monumente of name op naamborde nodig nie. Dit is elke jaar vir my wonderlik om te sien hoeveel hooggeplaastes op dié dag hul das en baadjie uittrek en self ’n huis verf, self nuwe vensterruite insit en self vuil word vir ’n goeie doel. Op dié dag verval titels en posbeskrywings en werk almal saam om ander te help en só ’n klein bietjie verligting in die koue te bring. Dit is so maklik om vasgevang te raak in jou eie probleme, maar as jy hoor van mense wat onder ’n boom bly, kan jy nie kla nie. Mag mense my asseblief nie onthou oor alles wat ek bereik het nie, maar eerder oor alles wat ek gedoen het.
Groet die dag ’n TIPIESE sonsondergang in die Kalahari.

Mense het altyd keuses André de Villiers HOE handel die Here regtig met ons? Psalm 103:10 – Hy handel met ons nie volgens ons sondes nie, vergeld ons nie vir ons ongeregtighede nie, want so groot as die afstand tussen hemel en aarde is, so groot is sy liefde vir dié wat Hom dien. Word wette gegee om lewe te neem of lewe te gee? Moet wette ons help om foute te vind of om nuwe keuses vir ’n beter lewe te vind? Baie mense sal sê wette moet ons help om reg te lewe. Maar kan ’n wet of reël konsekwent toegepas word om die lewe te reguleer? Selfs in die tyd van Jesus was dit ’n probleem. ’n Goeie voorbeeld hiervan is die vrou wat met owerspel betrap is (Joh. 8:3-11). Die Skrifgeleerdes en die Fariseërs het gedink hulle het ’n sterk saak dat die vrou gestraf moes word volgens die wet wat hul gemeenskap se standaarde gereguleer het. Daar was geen uitkomkans vir haar nie. Jesus het dit waarskynlik deeglik besef. Maar Hy het waarskynlik ook besef die mense wou haar nie straf oor haar

1/16
oortreding nie, maar dat hulle eerder ’n manier gesoek het om Hóm uit te vang. Die manier waarop Hy die saak gehanteer het, was toe nie om op die saak te fokus nie, maar om as’t ware ’n tweede saak by te trek, naamlik om daarop te wys dat geen mens hom- of haarself voor God kan verontskuldig nie. Alle mense oortree gereeld een of meer reëls en is daarom strafbaar. Dit val op dat niemand Hom teruggebring het na die saak voor hande nie. Niemand het probeer teenpraat nie. Klaarblyklik het hulle verstaan hulle moet genaakbaarder wees, selfs al is die vrou skuldig. En hulle het hul saak laat vaar. Interessant is dat Jesus die saak nie daar gelaat het nie. Nadat almal weggeloop het, het hy na die vrou gedraai en gevra: “Het geeneen van hulle die oordeel oor jou voltrek nie?” En Hy het bygevoeg: “Ek doen dit ook nie. Gaan maar en moet van nou af nie meer sonde doen nie.” Jesus staan dus nie op die wet in dié sin dat Hy reken dit moet

-1/16
-1/17
tot elke prys gehandhaaf word nie. Hy het dit met genade en deernis gehanteer. Hy wou toesien dat die oortreder insig ontwikkel in die gevolge van haar handeling, en Hy wou hê dat gedrag dienooreenkomstig aangepas word. Daarom sê Hy gereeld ook vir ons: Verstaan jy wat jy gedoen het? Verstaan jy dat jou gedrag ander beïnvloed? As jy begryp dat jou gedrag ander mense seermaak en nadelig beïnvloed, gaan dan en doen dit nie meer nie. Ons moet as gelowiges ernstig besin of die manier waarop ons in die lewe optree nie vir ander mense as hoogmoedig en veroordelend voorkom nie. Ons kan maklik die indruk skep dat ons manier van leef “reg” is en alle mense wat nie soos ons leef nie, verkeerd en selfs boos is. Miskien moet ons vra watter waardes ons in die Bybel raaklees. Jesus wys hier deernis vir ’n vrou wat die pad byster geraak het. Dit laat Hom optree op so ’n wyse dat Hy nie staan op ’n wet wat voorskryf dat doodgemaak moet word nie. Hy wys vir die vrou (en vir my en jou) dat ons beter keuses in die lewe het as om ander mense seer te maak en af te breek. Gebruik jou kans.

THE Assmang Khumani Mine’s Socio-economic Development Department sponsored a Let’s Go life skills initiative for its bursary students. The classes were facilitated by Wilna Engelbrecht-Smuts and Alf Tlomatsana of the Gauteng-based company Thinking Fusion. The Let’s Go development initiative included a four-day programme in which the 28 students went on a journey of
self-discovery and learned to master self-development through a set of new life skills. The students designed their own brand by understanding their individualism and using it towards personal growth. Day one covered individual learning. The students started keeping a journal for reflection. They also explored their personality types, brain profiles, values and passions in life. On day two the students learned about personal performance, body language and
conflict resolution. Activities on the third day of the course encouraged the students to re-evaluate their personal boundaries, explored the detrimental consequences of alcohol and drugs and looked at networking and decision making. On the last day the students presented a life-sized paper doll depicting the expectations and improvements of their future self. This life skills development programme is in line with the mine’s commitment to local youth empowerment and development.

Bruinders skryf roman Elretha Britz SIMON BRUINDERS is ’n naam wat dikwels in die rolverdeling van TV-reekse gesien word, maar van die begin van vanjaar pryk sy naam op die buiteblad van ’n roman. Dié veelsydige kunstenaar besoek die Vryfees met sy debuutboek, Die Sideboard (Naledi), waaroor Petrus Kuhne hom sal uitvra. Sy verhaal gaan oor die Suid-Kaapse bruin mense wat in die Tweede Wêreldoorlog die wapen vir Suid-Afrika opgeneem het en grond as beloning beloof is. Die hoofkarakter is Abraham. Hy droom van ’n lewe saam met die jong onderwyser Stella en ’n gesin met kinders wat hy eendag op sy eie grond sal kan grootmaak. In George se wêreld onder die Outenikwaberg, waar die bosse swarthout en geelhout lewer, maak Abraham vir Stella ’n sideboard. Dit word eindelik meer as ’n meubelstuk. Dit word ’n soort huisaltaar, ’n simbool van geloof. Die Sideboard is ook die verhaal van Abraham se vriendskap met Kobus, die jong Afrikaner wat sy eie probleme met sy familie het en anders oor die lewe dink. Nadat Bruinders sy akteursdebuut in die rolprent Broer Matie gemaak het, het meer as 20 televisiereekse gevolg.

Samel geld vir DSV in
DIE verskeie motorfietsklubs het by Spar in Kuruman met hul insamelingsveldtog begin. Daarna het hulle verskeie ander plekke in die dorp besoek – hier is hulle agter Agrimark en Cashbuild geparkeer. Die geld wat ingesamel is, is later aan die Dieresorgvereniging (DSV) oorhandig.
“STOP, hierdie is ’n tolhek. Geen motor ry verder voordat hulle nie hul tolgeld betaal het nie.” Al grappenderwys en met geesdrif word die sakkies geskud vir geld vir die DSV.

KALAHARI BULLETIN, DONDERDAG 17 JULIE 2014
Kathu ken van uithou Benneli Olivier Van der Walt DIE perdeklub in Kathu het werklik ruiters uit die boonste rakke. Van die klub se ruiters het onlangs aan die wêreldbekende Fauresmith 200-uithourit deelgeneem. Dit is een van die wêreld se moeilikste uithouritte en ruiters van oor die wêreld heen kom neem jaarliks aan die wedren deel. Die uithouwedren is ’n uitmergelende 200 km ver waarin ruiter sowel as perd hul storie moet ken. Daar het sowat 380 deelnemers weggespring en slegs 130 van hulle het die
SANGUINE WHITEHEAD (12) met die Erasakinderruiter van die jaar-trofee.
Foto: Benneli Olivier Van der Walt
wedren voltooi. Dus het 56% van die ruiters uitgeval, terwyl 44% vasgebyt het en oor die wenstreep gegalop het. Die uithourit is gewis nie vir “sissies” nie. Ruiters ry oor drie dae. Dag een en dag twee bestaan uit drie bene, terwyl dag drie net twee bene het. Die bene strek oor van 21 km tot 27 km. Die Kathu-perdeklub se ruiters het die dorp se naam hoog gehou. Lana van der Merwe was op haar perd Elanzia LaMeh 21ste in die senior standaard-gewigafdeling. Johnny Fourie was 15de in die junior afdeling met sy perd Rakib Malik. Joburg Dilolo was op sy perd Rakib Aalee ig Baal 15de in die standaard-afdeling. Een deelnemer wat regtig bo al die ander uitgetroon het, is Sanguine Whitehead. Die jong ruiter is net 12 jaar oud, maar is al ’n ervare ruiter. Hy het vyfde op sy perd Rakib Amora klaargemaak. Die Rakib-perde is almal van Tops van der Linde se stoetery. Drie van Van der Linde se perde het die uithourit voltooi. Whitehead sê so ’n uithourit is glad nie kinderspeletjies nie. “Dit is moeilik. Jy moet kyk dat jy nie te vinnig wegspring nie en jou spoed die rit deur dophou. “’Jy moet ook namens jou perd dink.” Dan is daar die verraderlike gate, slote en klippe wat vermy moet word – nogtans sê hy hy geniet die perdryery geweldig. Die jong ruiter het die jaar se Endurance Ride Association of South Africa- (Erasa) kinderruiter van die jaar-trofee gewen. Hy bedank almal met wie se perde hy oor die jaar heen kon gery het en ook diegene wat tot sy sukses bygedra het. Die oneindige ondersteuning wat hy van sy gesin ontvang het, waardeer hy verder baie. Die Kathu-perdeklub bedank die Kalahari Country Club vir die baadjies wat die onderneming vir die ruiters vir die geleentheid geborg het.
LANA VAN DER MERWE was op haar perd Elanzia LaMeh 21ste in die senior standaardgewig-afdeling.
