DIE Kalahari Bulletin se personeellede wil al hul lesers en adverteerders bedank vir die afgelope jaar se ondersteuning. Met die laaste uitgawe wens hulle al die lesers en adverteerders ’n geseënde Kersfees en voorspoedige 2013 toe.

Munisipale fout onmiddellik reggestel Annerie Louw ’n BOETE van 10% is vandeesmaand op alle munisipale rekeninge van die Ga-Segonyana-munisipaliteit se belastingbetalers in Wyk 1 aangebring. Byvoorbeeld: Op ’n rekening waarvan die maand se bedrag R892,31 was, is ’n boete van R149,39 gehef (10% van die
openingsbalans van R1 493,90). Nadat lesers dit onder die aandag van die Kalahari Bulletin gebring het, is navraag by Floors Byleveld, raadslid van Wyk 1, gedoen. Byleveld sê die DA is oor baie dinge ontevrede en in ’n proses om ’n nuusverklaring uit te reik. Volgens hom sê die munisipaliteit dit
was die fout van ’n munisipale beampte en dat dit reggestel kan word. Volgens twee lesers wat gebel het, het hulle oor die heffing op hul rekenings by die munisipale kantoor beswaar gaan maak en dit is onmiddellik reggestel. Hulle kon die boete aftrek en het net die verskuldigde bedrag betaal. Hiermee waarsku die koerant ander
belastingbetalers om die fout persoonlik te laat regmaak voordat die rekening vereffen word.

Transnet signs agreement Annerie Louw TRANSNET has agreed to enter into Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreements of Develop Mixed-Use Housing on municipal owned land at the Gamagara Municipality, Kathu. The development will consist of mixed use, mixed income and mixed housing typologies to accommodate a wider range of the income groups. The signing of the agreement between Transnet and Gamagara took place at the municipal offices in Kathu. The mayor, Maria Diniza, said in her welcoming speech that this project will be something for the community after the unrest of the past months. “We are looking forward to work with you – let Gamagara be your second home,” were her welcoming words. Siyabonga Gama, CEO of Transnet Freight Rails, said the partnership between Transnet and Gamagara must be a winwin situation. “It is not just about land, but for the local community to be part of the railways. We want to upgrade the lines to Saldanah and Port Elizabeth via Ulco and Kimberley to have two world-class lines because of a lot of growth in the Northern Cape,” said Gama. “A lot of mining is not taking place, because there are no railroads. The minerals are thousands of kilometres from Port Elizabeth and we want to take the trucks off the road,” said Gama.

Photo: Annerie Louw He also promised that money would be set aside for young pupils in gr. 9 for bursaries to expose them to the railway. This commitment will start already in 2013. They need 400 houses of their own by 2014, because of the high rent.
The municipal manager of Gamagara, Clement Itumeleng, said they had 300 sites that were not serviced and that they had to approach private parties. “In terms of services, we are busy with the upgrading. We
need R60 million – we are short of R23 million.” He said they were dealing with the capacity. “We have a masterplan for services, it is only the funding. Bulk services will be available,” said Itumeleng.
A MAN (50) was arrested and charged with murder following the death of his lover. Lt Olebogeng Tawana from Provincial Corporate Communication said in a press release it is alleged that prior to the murder the suspect had a quarrel with his lover (37) at Bodulong village in Kuruman. The suspect then dug a shallow grave and buried the woman. The police received information from a concerned Bodulong resident with regards to a man who is busy digging a shallow grave behind his shanty. The police K9 unit and rescue team arrived at the crime scene and started to dig behind the shanty. They found the woman’s body and exhumed it. The suspect was arrested on 14 December at Sedibeng village in Kuruman. He has been charged with murder and was due to appear before court on Tuesday.

Kinders bring sonskyn KINDERS het hul vakansietyd afgestaan om ’n draai by die Mimosahof-ouetehuis op Kuruman te gaan maak om die bejaardes se
dag ’n bietjie op te vrolik. Hulle het self passies en bewegings uitgewerk wat hulle in ’n nommer aan die bejaardes in hulle
sitkamer gelewer het. Daarna het hulle vir elke bejaarde eetgoed en toiletware oorhandig as deel van die Kersboodskap.

Tel die seëninge oor eie koerant DIT is wonderlik om te besef hoeveel kommunikasie met ’n plaaslike koerant gepaard gaan. Nuus en foto’s word ingestuur of ingebel en verwerk om dan weer aan die koerant se lesers te verskaf. Dit spoor weer ander mense aan om die koerant vir nuuswaardige gebeure te bel, want lesers aanvaar mede-eienaarskap van die koerant. Mense bel die koerant om hul produkte of dienste te bemark. Die koerant verwerk dit dan tot aantreklike visuele materiaal wat lesers nuuskierig en lus maak om die advertensie te ondersoek. So kry onderneming meer blootstelling en ervaar ’n mens ’n lewendigheid en bewuswording van gebeure hier op die gewone plattelandse dorpe. Dit is dan dat ’n mens besef hoe bevoorreg ons is om ons eie koerant te hê. Dit is ’n kommunikasiemiddel waarvan elkeen maar net
gebruik kan maak. Die dagblad gee vir ons daagliks nuus van ’n groter gebied. Ons kan die Mangaung-ervaring kry deur die Volksblad te lees, al is ons nie in Bloemfontein nie. Navorsing word deur joernaliste gedoen en vir lesers opsommend aangebied en ekstra inligting word rondom ’n storie verskaf. Die koerant bied ook ’n verskeidenheid nuus en stories aan vir die leser se belangstelling. Die Kalahari Bulletin het ook onlangs sy vlerke in die kuberruimte gesprei en is op http://www.kalaharibulletin.co.za te lees. Geniet dus al die voorregte van ’n plaaslike koerant. Dankie vir die ondersteuning oor die jaar heen en geniet die feestyd deur die ervaring van ’n geseënde Kersfees en gaan die nuwe jaar met moed en entoesiasme in.
Find the real reason for the festive season Chris van Staden READ Luke 2:1-20: Verse 11: For to you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. 2:12 – And this shall be a sign to you; Ye shall find the baby wrapped in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger. 2:13 – And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 2:14 – Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will towards men. The events leading up to the birth of Christ weren’t coincidental, but were put in place by God, so that the prophecies of old in Isaiah 7: 1314; Isaiah 9: 6-7 and Micah 5: 2-5 would be fulfilled. Everything that happened, from the time the census was ordered, to everyone returning to their own city to be registered and then the birth of Jesus while Joseph and Mary were in Bethlehem, was orchestrated by God. Out of Bethlehem, a small town in the City of David, came the Messiah. This event was the beginning of something so incredible. Jesus Christ left His throne in glory and took on human form just to bring us reconciliation to our Father God. He came into the world, miraculously conceived and then born as all humans are. He was first a baby, then became a toddler, then grew into a child and went through adolescence before becoming an adult.
He experienced humanity at all levels. He truly can identify with all people at all stages of life. This very first Christmas, God gave the greatest gift ever. His Son! And His Son gave the gift of His life - which was why He came. Because of this, we can have a relationship with God as His children. Through Jesus Christ, we are sons and daughters of the Most High God. So this Christmas, bear in mind the ‘True’ Christmas story, which led to the ‘True’ Easter story. Let us give thanks and praise to our heavenly Father for these events, which have changed our lives forever. No matter how ‘secular’ the world is becoming, disregarding the truth of Christmas, let us boldly proclaim the truth about the birth of Jesus as the reason for the season. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). Lord, we thank you for the events that led to our Saviour’s birth. May we remember the true Christmas story and declare it to the ends of the earth. (Pastor Chris van Staden is a preacher of the Kuruman Christian Church.)

Strydom groet vir oulaas MARINA STRYDOM, Kuruman: BINNEKORT kom haal Yahweh my na my ewige tuiste. Hy gee vir my die tyd om tot siens te sê. Ek wil almal bedank vir die liefde en vriendelikheid oor al die jare heen, veral diegene wat na aan my is en wat altyd daar was as ek hulle nodig gehad het. Julle is goud werd. My wens is dat geen blomme of ruikers na my begrafnis gebring sal word nie, maar dat die geld liewer in ’n kissie wat daarvoor bedoel is by ons kerk ingegooi sal word om later aan die behoeftiges uit te deel. Marina is baie ernstig siek aan longkanker. Die Kalahari Bulletin sal graag vandag vir haar wil blomme gee vir haar bydrae in die gemeenskap. Sy is al van 1969 tot met haar siekte ’n bekende en beminde haarkapper op Kuruman. In haar jong dae was sy deel van die haarkappers in die Springbokspan wat Suid-Afrika verteenwoordig het en Kuruman het met haar gespog. As aktiewe lid van die VLV het sy met haar kunstigheid gereeld trofeë verower. Behalwe vir mooi blommerangskikkings het sy twee jaar gelede ook begin skilder. Dit is egter Marina se entoesiasme vir die lewe en haar positiewe ingesteldheid wat ’n mens opval as jy net ’n rukkie in haar geselskap is. Ons gun haar die Vrede wat alle verstand te bowe gaan wat sy reeds ervaar.
Hulp ’n seëning MIMOSAHOF-BESTUUR, Kuruman: NAMENS die personeel en inwoners van die Mimosahof-tehuis vir bejaardes bedank ons graag alle gemeentes op en om Kuruman, asook elke mens en instansie, wat in 2012 by die tehuis betrokke was. Die afgelope jaar is ons besonder met gemeenskapsteun en betrokkenheid geseën. Die gemeenskapsbasaar was ’n groot sukses en vind weer volgende jaar op 2 Maart om 09:00 plaas. Kontantskenkings, meubelen kosskenkings is ontvang. Sonder almal se hulp sal dit nie moontlik wees om ’n goeie diens aan die bejaardes te lewer nie. U hulp maak ’n groot verskil aan hul lewe en verseker so ook vir ons en vir u om eendag ’n heenkome vir die oudag te vind. Duisend dankies aan die hele Kuruman-gemeenskap en die Hemelse Vader vir al die hulp en skenkings.
Diens ontstel DUIWEL, Kuruman: JA, weer klagtes oor dienste in ons dierbare, flinke banke wat aan Afrika-tyd gekoppel is en met kennis wat menige kliënt se bloeddruk deur die hoogste plafonne blaas. Dit was ’n Maandag aan die einde van November toe ek en my vrou ons na die bank gehaas het om ’n geldjie te gaan inbetaal. Soos dit enige burger betaam, staan ons in die
drukgang en wag om gehelp te word. Die toonbank is deur net twee vrouetellers beman en dit is die einde van die maand. Teller nommer een besluit om haar toonbank te sluit. Ná ’n paar minute kom sy terug en sit die bordjie op die toonbank: net deposito’s. Dit is ons beurt en ons gaan na teller nommer twee, net om uit te vind sy kan nie ons transaksie hanteer nie en ’n derde kom met ’n rooi geldblikkie om ons te help. Sy maak die rooi blikkie oop en plaas die note om die beurt in die masjien wat note tel en ons wag. ’n Tweede en derde keer sit sy dieselfde note deur die masjien. Ons verduidelik haar wat ons transaksie behels en dat ons wag vir ons kleingeld. Sorry, sy het nie kleingeld vir ons nie – R1,60. Ons besoek nog ’n bank en val maar weer soos goeie burgers in die drukgang. Die drukgange staan tot in die voorportaal. Toe besluit teller nommer twee sy gaan nou eet. Na die duiwel met al die mense, en sy laat note geld oop en bloot op haar toonbank lê. Die ergste was nog toe ek op ’n dag geld gaan bank het en die kassier ’n enkele R200-noot deur die masjien gesit het om te tel. Of toe ’n ander vir my gesê het: As jy nie Engels of Tswana praat nie kan ek jou nie help nie.
Dankie vir jaar se bydraes ISABEL SMIT, Olifantshoek: ONS bedank graag die gemeenskap van Olifantshoek, Kathu, Deben en ander hartlik vir al die bydraes aan die Bergenrus-tehuis deur die loop van die jaar. Die bestuur, inwoners en personeellede wens almal ’n baie geseënde Kersfees en voorspoedige nuwe jaar toe.
Los net slegte en negatiewe gedagtes by die huis Annerie Louw EK het nog nie vir die seevakansie gepak nie, maar ek het darem al in my kop beplan wat moet saamgaan. Daar moet baie handdoeke ingepak word, want ek onthou hoe kinders se swemhanddoeke later kliphard kan regop staan van die seewater. Saam met die handdoeke onthou ek ook hoe verskriklik duur die sonskermprodukte by die vakansieplekke is. Ek moet dit dus plaaslik koop voor ons ry. Die slow cooker moet in, want ek gaan nie heeldag voor ’n stoof
staan nie en met ’n groot gesin kan jy nie te gereeld in restaurante eet of wegneemetes koop nie. Die slagding is darem klaar gevries en die inpak en onthou daarvan is Manlief se afdeling. Deon Meyer se boek waaraan ek nou al ’n halfjaar lees, moet ek onthou, want ek wil hom klaarmaak voordat ek Nella Dreyer kan begin. Ons moet Belangrikste se strandtentjie en haar speelgoed
onthou. Anders gaan óns die vermaak moet wees. Die strandsambreel moet saam, want ek gaan nie vir my verbrand soos ander jare nie. (Ek sê dit elke jaar!) Gelukkig het ek darem ’n geel gehekelde sonhoed van plastiek om saam te vat. Hierdie jaar gaan Frodo, ons nuwe Jack Russell-foxterrier, ook saam en sy bed en bakke moet onthou word. En ’n ou grafie om die uitwerpsels op te tel. My swembroek en spaghettitoppies sal ek iewers in my klerekas moet gaan uitgrawe asook my enigste twee kortbroeke, want ek wil darem voel of ek
op vakansie is. Gelukkig kyk ek vir die ander vakansiegangers en verbeel ek my ek lyk ook so sonbruin, gesond en jonk. Dan pak ek nog my mooi herinneringe en vreugdes van die jaar in, my vriende se mooi wense en ’n paar geskenkies vir Kersfees. Ek pak al my drome en planne vir volgende jaar in, want die pad see toe is lank. Op die pad moet die Barnyard-konsert se teks gefinaliseer word, nuwe idees vir die koerant moet geformuleer word, ’n repertoire vir my singende manne moet opgestel word en planne vir
fisieke aktiwiteite om ’n gesonde leefstyl te verseker word kilometer na kilometer uitgewerk. Wat wil ek by die huis los? My grimering, my werksklere, negatiewe gedagtes soos die vullis wat ons wil versmoor en die padverbruikers wat nie padreëls nakom nie. Ek los graag herinneringe aan slegte ervarings van protesoptogte, skade en trauma agter. Ek kan nie wag om my tas van die kas af te haal nie. Of dit rustig en vreedsaam op die lang pad saam met Belangrikste gaan wees, is ’n ander storie.

THE Maphalane Disabled Children’s Trust certificate ceremony was held in the Ga-Segonyana Hall in Kuruman last week. They celebrated the achievement of 212 Early Childhood Development (ECD) practitioners across the Northern Cape who successfully completed the Further Education and Training Certificate in ECD, with a strong focus on Inclusive Education. According to the Department of Health (2010) 23% of all learners entering gr. R manifest developmental delays because of poverty, poor nutrition and the impact of HIV/ Aids. This project aimed to equip pregr. R and gr. R practitioners with the prerequisite knowledge and skills to facilitate young children’s holistic development, as well as to prevent, identify and accommoda-
The final beneficiaries of the project are children with a range of special needs, including autism. A total of 85% of enrolled students successfully completed the qualification. All children will benefit from the improved capacity of practitioners to provide appropriate care and education, including those with specialized educational needs. The role-players involved in this project, the Maphalane Disabled Children’s Trust, a subsidiary of the Sishen Iron Ore Community Development Trust, funded the programme. This made it possible for 258 ECD practitioners to receive 18 months of training, accommodation during training sessions, transport, meals, as well as assessment, and certification. The Northern Cape Department of Education, served on the project management team, identified stu-
ECD teachers receive certificates te special educational needs at an early age. Despite the introduction of White Paper No. 6 on Inclusive Education (2001) very few teachers possess these skills and as a result are unable to accommodate the diverse educational needs of the learners in their classrooms. Currently one in 100 children is born with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (more commonly known as autism). This statistic illustrates an alarming increase of children diagnosed with autism in the past decades. The acting premier of the Northern Cape, Ms Grizelda Cjiekella, stated that this qualification is the only one of its kind in South Africa that was specifically developed to address and identify learners with special needs. Cjiekella went on by saying that this qualification gives
practitioners the knowledge on how to deal with children that may have barriers to learning and it also gives them the necessary tools to provide early detection, intervention and support to learners with special educational needs. The direct beneficiaries were 212 pre- gr. R and gr. R practitioners in the Northern Cape who received a recognized and accredited qualification, incorporating special needs education. The students came from Kimberley, De Aar, Jan Kempdorp, Kuruman, Springbok and Upington. Indirect beneficiaries will be approximately 35 children per year per practitioner, and each practi- tioner will be in the profession for at least five years. Indirect beneficiaries will therefore be at least 37 100 children from birth to six years of age.
dents who required training across the five districts. SANTS conceptualised and designed the accredited training programme, training material, assessment, continuous monitoring, moderation, all logistical, administrative, quality assurance and operational arrangements. The Key School for Specialised Education (autism), assessment of children, set up two resource centres in Kuruman and Kimberley, facilitated workshops on specialised education for teachers, therapist, medical practitioners and parents. The Key School also participated in the development of the training material, community radio interviews and advocacy, which produced as series of popular booklets on Special Needs in all the local languages.

Mpelega receives award Annerie Louw THE Mpelega Pre-Primary School in Sesheng received a national award as the second best centre last week. As winners of the province they competed against winners of the other eight provinces at Kliprivier, Johannesburg. The awards were sponsored by Absa in association with the Departments of Basic Education, Social Development, United Nations Children’s Fund and the South African Congress and National Development Agency. There were more than 4 500 entries across the country, but only the finalists from each province participated at national level for Best Centre and Best Practitioner. A workshop was organized for the participants. Then they had been interviewed and also had to give a presentation with pictures of the school. The winners received certificates.

Potjies prut terwyl reën uitsak GESELLIG onder die stoepdak van die Booysen-lokaal het die potjiekoskompetisie ondanks gure weer voortgegaan.
Annerie Louw DIE afsluitingsgeselligheid van die personeel en beheerraad van die Laerskool Seodin het vanjaar anders verloop. ’n Potjiekoskompetisie is verlede Donderdag in die Booysen-lokaal gehou. Dit het ongelukkig met die storm wat die dorp getref het, saamgeval en almal moes vir skuiling onder die dak vlug. Ondanks die baie moeilike omstandighede is die heerlikste potjiekosgeregte voorberei en moes die beoordelaars behoorlik fyn proe. Van ’n seekospot tot filet met kaas en mossels is aangebied. Die beesstertpot van die onderwysers het die eerste plek verower. Die sagte beesstert het nie net heerlik gesmaak nie, maar is saam met ’n afsonderlike groentepot, koring, stampmielies, roosterkoeke en groenvye op ’n mooi gedekte tafel, waarop klein driepootpotjies met erdebekers gerangskik is, voorgesit. Ook die jong onderwysers se pot is mooi aangebied met geruite lapservette en mooi eetgerei. In die tweede plek was ’n beheerraadpot met lamskenkels en beesmurgbene baie lekker gekerrie. Die hoenderpot van die beheerraad was derde.

DIE jonges op die personeel het ’n tamatiebrediepot gehad en hul proeseltjie vir die beoordelaars baie mooi uitgestal. Ook hul nageregpot was baie interessant en lekker. Van links is Amiree Deetlefs, Marnus Byleveld, Karin Strydom en Ananda van Zyl.

Recycle for wheelchairs THE Bread Tags for Wheelchairs project was launched by Gary and Jenny Gerber from Kathu. The purpose of the project was to collect used bread tags for recycling. In turn, recycling companies give a pay-out for a wheelchair when enough bread tags have been collected. About 270 kg of bread tags are needed to buy one wheelchair. Due to such a large number of bread tags needed to buy one wheelchair, Gary approached his colleagues at Kumba Information Management to help collect bread tags. During the bread tag collection process, two wheelchairs were donated to worthy causes to inspire people to bring in more bread tags. “These wheel chairs were donated to Cansa, Kathu, on 28 November 2012 to enable them to assist cancer patients that are no longer mobile,” said Gary. Gary and Jenny would wish to thank everyone who contributed to the project and they give special thanks to Kumba Information Management for supporting the project.

Sishen wins top Anglo awards TWO winning projects of Sishen Mine that received the much-coveted Anglo Applaud Awards were celebrated at the Sishen Mine with a stylish cheese and wine function at the Kalahari Country Club. At Anglo American, hard work does not go unnoticed and in 2010 the applauds were launched as the Global Employee Excellence Awards. The Anglo Applaud Awards are the highest accolade one can receive in the Anglo group, celebrating individuals and teams for their commitment to the business. It also rewards the very best examples of exceptional effort in four categories derived from the company’s core values, including safety, sustainability, partnership and innovation. Kumba was privileged this year to take home not only one, but three of the four awards. Two of them coming to Sishen, resulting in Sishen winning 50% of the awards. The honour was bestowed on Rina Botha and Werner Badenhorst who represented Sishen with their projects in Miami in September this year. The two winning projects were the Batho Pele Mobile Units in the sustainability category and CAS (collision avoidance system) in the innovation category. These projects were identified as the best of the best amongst 77 entries in the sustainability category and 195 entries in the innovation category. In his keynote address, general manager of Sishen Mine, Andrew Loots, said: “Tonight is a very special night because it is not only a wonderful first for Kumba, but more specifically for Sishen Mine. Congratulations with these remarkable achievements – you and your teams have done us proud. “Both these awards represent the core pillars of what Kumba strive towards – safety and sustainable development in partnership with our communities.”
Maak kerse as Kersgeskenk Annerie Louw IN ’n meningsopname op die Kalahari Bulletin se webtuiste oor tuisgemaakte Kersgeskenke het besoekers aan die web soos volg hul mening gegee: Altesaam 71% sê tuisgemaakte geskenke is spesiaal, 4% sê dit is suinig en afgeskeep, 4% sê hulle gooi dit na ’n rukkie weg en 21% sê hulle bewonder sulke kreatiwiteit. Om kerse te maak is nie net kreatief en ’n wonderlike stokperdjie nie, maar kan ook nuttig te pas kom wanneer jy geskenke moet gee. Almal hou van kerse en dit is iets wat jy baie gebruik. Angelique van Niekerk het die Candle Maker’s Deli in Mangue Gardens begin. Om spesiale kerse te maak kan lesers hul webtuiste besoek (sien onder). Daar kan geleer word van kerse maak, kerse versier, kleure meng en nog baie wenke oor hoe jy te werk moet gaan. Benodigdhede voordat jy begin kerse maak: . ’n ou teepot vir die warm was. . ’n paar vorms vir kerse. . ’n was en kerspitte. . ’n elektriese stoof om die was in die teepot te smelt. Veiligheidsmaatreël: Moet nooit was in die
mikrogolfoond of op ’n gasstoof smelt nie. Om met Candle Maker’s Deli te skakel besoek die webtuiste: www.candledeli.co.za, e-pos na candledeli@pacchem.co.za of skakel 021-552-4937. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Candle-Makers-Deli/266350440083134

Kgotla ya BBNB gives help A GROUP called Kgotla ya BBNB from Kathu saw the need of a family of Hume at Deurham. This group comprises 17 members from different backgrounds and societies. They reached out with gifts to try and help where they could. The family, who were asking for help for a long time, received items like beds, wardrobes, tables, food and some clothes. More than eight people were living in one room with no breadwinner to depend on. This family were so delighted by the outreach and very happy that the government improved their lives with a RDP house which they wanted for a long period. It will be officially unveiled to them by the personnel from Joe Morolong Municipality very soon.

Children spoiled at party Annerie Louw “EVERY child has a right to a bright future,” were the words of Gomotsegang Nkadimang in the poem that she presented at the Christmas party for children last Thursday in the Ga-Segonyana Hall in Kuruman. “Lobotlhokwa” which means “you are important” was the theme of the project that included children with disabilities, HIV, orphans and children that are rejected. It is part of Be Something out of Nothing initiated by Lebo Nkadimang. This was the second annual Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Christmas party held by Nkadimang. “It was very emotional and an important event celebra-
ting achievements of the children,” said Portia Itumeleng who attended the celebration. “The party was to show them appreciation, love and care and to tell them they are important.” Sofia Mosikatsi, mayor of John Taolo Gaetsewe (JTG) District Municipality, added according to the South African constitution on children’s rights, every child has a right to be named, to live and be taken care of and every South African child should have a clinic card, a birth certificate and a safe environment. “If a child is not been taken care of, his or her parents should be arrested,” said Mosikatsi. The children enjoyed refreshments and danced to the music.

Kleuters laat gehoor lag Anena Burger DIE einde van die jaar het aangebreek en die maats van die Kekkel en kraai-kleuterskool het Saterdagaand hul jaarlikse konsert met die tema Charlie’s Circus met groot opgewondenheid aangebied. Van die kleinste doekdraende pikkewyn, wat by tye so ’n bietjie moed verloor het, tot die cowboys en cowgirls het met mening hul passies in die arena uitgevoer. Die skare was al skreeuend en jillend aan die lag. Selfs ’n paar tiere, bere en leeus was in die sirkusvertoning te sien, want wat sou ’n sirkus dan wees sonder
die konings van die wildernis? Die apies het hul sterte wild geswaai op die maat van I want to move it, move it. it Aan die einde van die konsert moes Kersvader sy opwagting maak om vir almal ’n geskenk te gee. Soet kinders verdien mos iets vir hul harde werk en speel oor die jaar heen. Lisa Lee (4), wat dié Kersvader mooi beloer het, het later in haar pa se oor gefluister: “Dit was oom Barry. Ek het gesien dit is hy. Moenie vir my kom onnosel maak nie. Wat sal Kersvader in elk geval by ’n konsert kom soek?” Daarmee is ’n jaar vol aapstreke en opwinding vir die peuters en kleuters van Kekkel en Kraai afgesluit.
DIE klompie fraaie poedels moes darem net hul sirkustoertjies ook uitvoer. Van links is, voor: Justin Erasmus en Kaylin Nieuwoudt; middel: Christiaan Crafford, Abrie Malan en Michael Visser; agter: DP Oberholster. ’n SIRKUS sonder ’n leeu is nou maar eenmaal nie ’n sirkus nie en die drie leeus het nie op hulle laat wag nie. Hier is van links Sané de Beer, Leonita Loubser en Markus Rademeyer.
REGS: Wat sal ’n sirkus dan sonder sy skoonmakers wees? Van links is Stephan Nell, LW Joubert, Janco Wandrag, Kaylin van Wyk, Marlé van der Westhuizen en Tanica Zondagh.
DIE tiere het die arena behoorlik met hul stertswaaipassies aan die gons gehad. Van voor is Zianne Botha, Lisa Lee en Elanza Garifallou. REGS: O, die gezoem van die bye. Klein-klein en angelswaai-oulik het die bye die gehoor laat skater van die lag. Van links is Anja de Jager, Suné van der Walt, Eicke Crafford en Lisa Liebenberg.
HOE sluit ’n mens dan ’n jaar af as Kersvader nie ’n geskenk kom uitdeel aan al die soet kinders wat oor die jaar heen so hard gewerk en gespeel het nie? Nee wat, dit sou nie deug nie. Ná die peuters en kleuters se briljante vertoning het die oom met die boepmaag en rooi pak ook darem sy opwagting gemaak. Hier hou die gesiggies hom stip dop om te hoor wie volgende sy of haar geskenk gaan kry.
REGS: Die drie bere het ook hul opwagting gemaak. Van links is Robin Rich, Eric Pienaar en André Janse van Rensburg.
PIKKEWYNE, pikkewyne, pikkewyne by dosyne. Wie sê om nog doek te dra is te klein om ook ’n draai op die verhoog te gooi?

Give attention to your pets PLEASE remember your pets over this festive season. If you are going away and leaving your pets behind at home, please make sure that: . There is someone reliable to look after your pets on a daily basis, giving food, water and care. . Your property is secure and dog proof and that there is good shelter for any outside dogs (remember that thunder and fireworks are terrifying to some dogs. They need a safe place to hide). . Your dogs have collars and name tags for identification. . You inform your neighbours and ask them to keep an extra eye out for your pets. . Use a good flea and tick product before you leave to keep parasites at bay. Biliary can be fatal. Fireworks are no fun for dogs! Fireworks terrify most dogs and many run away from
the noise and end up lost. Others injure themselves in an attempt to escape or hide in terror. Apart from the fact that the use of most fireworks is illegal, it is also very unfair to animals! Please don’t use fireworks in town. Is your dog sterilized? In South Africa around 4 500 dogs are put down every day. Don’t let your female dog get pregnant. Unwanted puppies end up neglected, abused and as strays. If your dog is sterilized you prevent unwanted roaming, fighting and reproduction. Be wise and sterilize! Thank you from Kuruman/Kathu Animal Welfare to everyone who has supported us over the past year. There are so many people, too many to mention, who have helped in so many ways. Bless you all for the support and dedication. Dog by dog, day by day we are making a difference and raising animal welfare standards. Thank you to those volunteers who gave their precious time.
DIE gr. 6-klas van die Hotazel-kollege het geld ten bate van die Kuruman/Kathu-Dieresorgvereniging ingesamel. Die leerlinge het mense genooi om hulle honde te bring vir ’n lekker bederf. Hulle is gewas, geborsel en gepoeier. “Dit was groot pret vir kinders en diere,” sê Sonja Grobler, DSV-verteenwoordiger,). Die DSV is baie dankbaar teenoor die onderwysers vir hul inisiatief en vir die komberse. “Op die manier leer ons die kinders om vir diere in nood om te gee,” sê Grobler. Hier is Grobler saam met twee gr. 6-leerlinge.

Upington spog met unieke sangtalent
THE Vetus Schola team.

Children educated on safety VETUS SCHOLA PROTECTION SERVICES, in partnership with Sishen Mine, embarked on a schools programme. Three schools in the community (Sesheng Intermediate, Kathu Primary and Deben Primary) had been visited and Sishen Primary (Dingleton) received a visit a week later. The aim of the campaign was to educate youngsters about safety and specifically that Vetus Schola is in the community for the community’s protection. The opening of the show started with Tonga the dog and the learners loved him. Tonga responded to his trainer’s commands and showed the crowd a few tricks such as “dancing” and a paw shake. He also demonstrated what he would do with a criminal by chasing after a volunteer and bit him convincingly on his luckily padded arm. Next up was a demonstration of how they catch a criminal that is trying to get away in a vehicle. The team simulated a situation where Vetus Schola contained an unruly crowd that was demonstrating. The programme ended with the distribution of wristbands to all the children. On this wristband is the number of the dedicated emergency control room that children can call whenever there is trouble: 053-739-1585. Reaction vehicles will immediately be deployed to the situation.

Biblioteek se vriende bederf Marie Cross DIE Kuruman-biblioteek het weer, soos nou reeds tradisie geword het, ’n heerlike Kersfeesteeparty as jaarafsluiting vir sy lojale lesers aangebied. Mariana Venter, senior bibliotekaresse wat dit alles gereël het, sê dat dit uit dankbaarheid vir lojale en toegewyde biblioteekvriende is. Hulle het meegehelp dat die biblioteek se uitleenstatistieke noemenswaardig toegeneem het. Die Vriende van die Biblioteek het ook met hul skenkings daartoe bygedra dat verskeie nuwe publikasies tydig
aangekoop kon word. Die provinsiale toekennings vir boeke bly problematies, maar die biblioteekpersoneel probeer dit na die beste van hul vermoë bestuur. Die biblioteek het ook drie nuwe personeellede van die omliggende biblioteke bygekry. Hulle is baie positief en steeds onder opleiding. Die biblioteek probeer sy bes om met dit wat moontlik is en toegelaat word, die beste moontlike diens aan die gemeenskap te bied. Hulle is dankbaar vir die ondersteuning wat hulle van die lesers en goedgesindes ontvang.
