Olywe vir die reën Vlieg praat met die volk, en krap waar dit jeuk! Vlieg sien ook baie uit na volgende Dinsdag. Dan is dit die eerste dag van Februarie, ‘n magiese datum vir so baie alkoholiste wat jaar na jaar hulself vir die hele Januarie op die waterkar sit. Net om vir die familie te bewys dat hulle enige tyd kan ophou drink, en om natuurlik hul drinkery in die ander elf maande van die jaar teenoor hulself te regverdig. Vlieg wonder waar het die gebruik ontstaan. Seker ook maar by ‘n soort van ‘n geloof. Dit klink vir Vlieg so al na vas! Maar dit is natuurlik nie waarom Vlieg so uitsien na Februarie nie. Die drinkery los Vlieg in elk geval vir die groot ouderlinge. Nee, Vlieg sien uit na Februarie omdat dit ons groot reënmaand is. In hierdie kort maandjie sal elke agterplaasaardrykskundige jou vertel, val altyd die meeste reën in ons geweste. Omdat Vlieg nie veel agting het vir die mens se geheue as wetenskaplike instrument nie, het hy gaan kyk na die statistieke — en dis regtig so.

• GTM se verkeersafdeling

Iets ruik na growwe onreëlmatigheid Die swaar bui reën wat Sondagaand oor Tzaneen uitgesak het, het ‘n chaos in Danie Joubert-straat veroorsaak. Dié foto is van skuins voor die poliekantoor geneem, toe die

water erg opgedam en byna winkels in die hoofstraat oorstroom het. Die stormwaterdreinering kon nie die watermassa vinnig genoeg wegvoer nie. Foto: Jean Aucamp

Nuwe besem dalk te lig vir ou mos Francois Aucamp Selfs ‘n nuwe besem gaan sukkel om die ou mos van die plaveisel af te vee — om nou ‘n metafoor in pas met die huidige klimaatstoestand in ons omgewing in te span. Dit gaan om Tzaneen se al te dikwels omstrede sakeklub, waarna die bestuur graag as sakekamer verwys, en ‘n nuwe voorsitter wat klaarblyklik in die proses is om die stokkie oor te vat. Die afgelope twee jaar was mnr Conrad Krüger die voorsitter. Onder sy leiding het die klub mooi gepresteer om kontakte in Mosambiek te vestig en die kuiertjie(s) daar sou glo — volgens ‘n plaaslike koerant wat die klub se amptelike spreekbuis geag word — ‘n ysingwekkende tsoenami toeriste uit Mosambiek na Tzaneen en omgewing lok.

Uitverkorene

Die uitverkorene om by hom as voorsitter oor te neem, is mnr Hansie Botha. Dié het volgens sakelui in die dorp ambisieuse planne om die klub “reg te ruk”. (Dit klink nogal soos ‘n mosie van wantroue in die vorige bestuur of besture) Sakelui met wie oor die nuwe inisiatief geskakel is en wat op hul beurt met die Bulletin gesels het, sê die kanse op ‘n inklusiewe sakekamer in die dorp is min of meer so goed soos die Tzaneendam wat teen die einde van die maand opdroog. Daar word aangevoer dat ‘n gebrek aan visie in die

verlede meegebring het dat swart sakelui van die dorp en omgewing hul eie sakekamer gestig het. Dit sal moeilik wees, indien hoegenaamd, om die breuk te heel. Voor Krüger was mnr Lukas Groenewald die voorsitter van die klub. Die meer siniese onder ons verwys na hom as die man wat homself as die vader van die sakeklub beskou het (dalk steeds beskou).

Dadels

Dit was in sy termyn dat die Bulletin as lid van die jollie klub geskors is, omdat ons dit gedurf waag het om die klub te kritiseer. Krüger het toe hy in die voorsitterstoel plek ingeneem het, hoog opgegee oor hoe hy dié gebeurlikheid gaan opklaar, waarvan dadels gekom het. Oor Botha se nuwe visie vir die klub strek die twyfel verder as die gevoel dat dit eksklusief en daarom eintlik gedoem is. Daar word ook gesê die klub se rekord wys nie dat hulle veel sukses— of enige sukses — behaal het om die erge probleme waarmee sakelui in die dorp worstel, omgekeer of verbeter te kry nie.

Bagasie Maar, word nou gesê, Botha het ook bagasie wat nie juis ‘n poging met ‘n omkeerstrategie sal bevorder nie. Inteendeel. Dit gaan om die senior posisie wat hy in die afgeleefde — inderdaad afgestorwe — Rapportryers beklee het. Hy was glo tot be-

treklik onlangs die leier van die beweging in Limpopo (na bewering met slegs enkele vasbyt-lede wat oorgebly het). Dit is dié assosiasie wat glo sal verhinder dat ‘n sterk inklusiewe sakekamer in Tzaneen onder sy leiding kan gedy; en sakeleiers meen ‘n eksklusiewe organisasie kan nooit tot wasdom kom en werklik ‘n rol speel in die dorp se sakegemeenskap en -aktiwiteite nie. Hoe die klub se bydraes tot die sakegemeenskap se heil bejeën word, manifesteer in ‘n sterk apatiese houding van die groot rolvertolkers in Tzaneen se sakegemeenskap. Dit gebeur maar selde dat die sakeleiers wat as ‘t ware hoër in rang is, vergaderings bywoon of belangstelling in die doen en late van die klub toon. Sakelui met wie ons gepraat het word nie geïdentifiseer nie, want by ‘n vorige geleentheid toe sakelui se name in beriggewing in die Bulletin oor die

Die mense het gekies. Bulletin vir die nuus

Botha klub se manewales genoem is, is hulle op ‘n intimiderende wyse hieroor “voor stok gekry”. Ons sal dus nie iets doen wat gerespekteerde sakeleiers aan gedrag wat aan afpersing grens, blootstel nie.

Tweespalt dreig in NG-gemeente Louis Roux ‘n Vlagie troebel wolke hang oor die NG-gemeente Hoedspruit, waar lidmate van Kampersrus en Mariepskop in ‘n stryd gewikkel is oor die behoud van hul kerkgebou en eredienste. Hoedspruit se kerkraad het verlede jaar onder leiding van hul leraar, dr Pieter Dorey, besluit om die kerkgebou in Kampersrus voortaan net vir troues en begrafnisse aan te wend en nie meer eredienste daar te hou nie. Dié besluit is verlede jaar by ‘n Laeveld Ringsitting goedgekeur, maar die mense van Kampersrus het daarteen geappelleer. Hulle het reeds hul besware in ‘n versoekskrif aan die Ring voorgelê. Die versoekskrif is deur sowat 150 lidmate onderteken. Volgens die Ringvoorsitter, ds Barry van der Merwe, sal samesprekings met die groep en die kerkraad op 17 Februarie gehou word om die geskil uit te pluis. Die kerk in Kampersrus is reeds ouer as vyftig jaar. Een van die beswaarde lidmate, mnr Poedie Gildenhuys, sê sy pa was destyds betrokke by die bou van die eerste kerkgebou. ”Hy en vier ander mans het op die stoep gesit en besluit om ‘n eie • Na bl 8

Cable thieves ravage Politsi V d Heever

Verbruikers van elektrisiteit in die gebied van die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit word gevra om tog geduld te hê met kragonderbrekings. Die reën het op plekke groot skade veroorsaak en die GTM se elektrisiteitsdepartement se middele en mannekrag sukkel tans om voor te bly. Die GTM se elektrotegniese ingenieur, mnr Pierre van den Heever, sê op plekke is oorhoofse kraglyne oor kilometers ver deur vloedwater meegesleur. Substasies is of was ook op plekke onder water. Die reën het met tye met sterk wind gepaard gegaan of is deur rukwinde vooraf gegaan en dit het verdere skade aan kraglyne veroorsaak. “Ons werk so hard as wat ons kan om skade te herstel, terwyl normale onderhoud en kragonderbrekings vanweë ander oorsake steeds gebeur. My afdelings se span mense word nou aan hoë eise bloot gestel en daar is ‘n kerngroep wat werklik ongekende lang ure werk. “Ons besef die ongerief vir mense is soms erg en ons sal aanhou beur om dit tot die minimum te beperk,” sê hy.

Louis Roux Two cable thieves are on the loose in the Politsi area and are usually operating between midnight and 04:00 in the morning, the local community police forum heard this week. W/o Pieter Horn of the SAPS in Modjadjiskloof told CPF members that three cases of cable theft were experienced in December and January. They were seen and chased by residents but got away. It is suspected that the two men might be involved in all three cases. It was the first CPF meeting in Politsi this year. The new chairperson is Ms Lauren Blight, who replaces Mr Wynand Espach after a term of three years in the chair. Ms Jane Tennant will be the secretary for the next term.

BO: Die oorloop van die Tzaneendam laat die Groter Letabarivier aan die onderkant van die skouterrein soos ‘n brullende leeu voortvloei, met massas water waar ‘n biertuin verlede jaar nog skougaste gevestig het. Die vloedwater maak groot branders waar dit oor die keerwal van die opgaardam by die terrein

stort. ONDER: Die laagwaterbrug onder Tzaneendam se wal is oorstroom en sal waarskynlik nog ‘n geruime tyd gesluit wees vir motoriste wat daagliks dié roete na hul huise gevolg het. Hulle moet nou die Deerparkpad gebruik om die woongebied aan die noordekant van die dam te bereik. Foto’s: Louis Roux

Die Georges Valleypad is haglik na die afgelope tyd se reën en talle motoriste se motors is beskadig. Talle se bande en selfs vellings is verwoes.

All systems go! Francois Aucamp Construction of the new Lifestyle Centre (mall) next to the R71 and across the Sasol filling station, was irreversibly started yesterday, when the site was handed over to the piling contractor. The first phase of about 9 000 square meter is scheduled to be ready for occupation by October this year, said Ms Cheryl Carlson, a spokesperson for the developers. However, she warned that the developer could not be held to this schedule, since outside factors, such as the past month’s unusual high rainfall, could cause delays. The mall will cover 40 000 square meters when completed and there will be a large parking area to avoid traffic congestion. The R71 is also to be changed drastically, to allow for a new entrance to the MediClinic, the Sasol filling station and the new mall.

The road will have double lanes and traffic lights will be erected. This will help to slow down motorists who regularly speed along this road, ignoring the dangers and traffic volumes. Carlson says the two anchor shops will be announced soon. Rumor has it that PicknPay will be one of the anchor tennants. A new and large Fruit & Veg store is also expected to open in the new mall. This piece of good news could be the start of a new growth era for Tzaneen. We are aware of other developments in the area, but have been asked not to announce it at this point in time. It would be premature and could spoil negotiations with tenants, we have been told. The exact cost of the new mall is still being calculated, but it will in the end run into many millions.

Vrydag 28 Januarie 2011

Die GTM kry ‘n stem Tzaneen se inwoners, die mense wat by verre die grootste bydrae tot die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit se geldkas maak, word lank reeds deur die GTM se topbestuur met arrogansie as ‘n lastigheid afgemaak. Dit is geen wonder nie dat Tzaneen se inwoners en sakelui die GTM as ‘n amorfe verkwister van hul swaarverdiende geld beskou. Hierdie koerant, wat deurwinterde joernaliste in ons midde het, het al by geleentheid gevoel om die GTM as ‘n verlore saak af te skryf, maar ons dure plig jeens die gemeenskap het ons nog altyd gedryf om vas te byt en die dade (en wandade) van die GTM te ondersoek en aan die gemeenskap deur te gee. Hierdeur het ons nie vriende by die GTM gemaak nie en ons is gereeld beskuldig van alles wat boos is; van rassisme tot onpatriotisme. Nou het ‘n dame kom wys hoe dinge gedoen behoort te word. Die nuwe waarnemende munisipale bestuurder het nuwe betekenis aan die begrip deursigtigheid kom gee. Dit is ‘n vars bries wat deur die GTM waai en wat tot groot voordeel van die veronderstelde gesonde verhouding tussen die owerheid en sy onderdane moet heers. Boonop het sy kom wys hoe maklik dit is om net eerlik foute te erken en dan werk te maak daarvan om dit reggestel te kry. En dit gaan nie altyd om negatiewe sake nie, oor foute nie, daar is ook die positiewe (goeie) nuus wat gerus uitgedra kan word. Hierdeur word die gemeenskap (veral die wat belasting betaal) gemotiveer om nie die owerheid as ‘n bedreiging te beskou nie, maar inderdaad as vennoot in die aksies om ‘n beter omgewing te bou. Ons besef die munisipale bestuurder is ‘n amptenaar en die hoogste gesag is die stadsraad. Ons hoop nie die politici (hulle bly maar amateurs wat dit betref) meng in en bederf die nuwe aanslag nie. • Lees die munisipale bestuurder se brief hiernaas (‘GTM values citizens’) ter bevestiging.

Tongknopers Dit is jammer om te sien mense besef nie daar is landswette (en nie taalreëls nie) wat bepaalde skryfwyses voorskryf nie. In ons land is die komma byvoorbeeld die enigste wetlik erkende desimaalteken vir getalle. Die Wet op Meeteenhede en Nasionale Meetstandaarde skryf voor hoe aan die internasionale metrieke stelsel (SI) se standaarde voldoen moet word. So ‘n wetlike voorskrif is byvoorbeeld dat as ‘n getal voor ‘n SI-simbool geskryf word, word ‘n spasie tussen die getal en die simbool gelaat: 150 mm, 50 kg, 30 MW. (Dit is net die m vir miljoen wat sonder ‘n spasie tusen die getal en die m kom: R12m). En die skryfwyse vir tyd vereis altyd vier syfers en nie die h (vir hora) nie, maar ‘n dubbelpunt. Byvoorbeeld: 10:00 vir die outydse 10 vm.

GTM values citizens

T C Mametja, Acting Municipal Manager, Greater Tzaneen Municipality, writes: In reply to the letter “Omgekrap”, with the subtitle “Omgekrap boekwurm van Tzaneen” in the Bulletin of Friday 21 January 2011, I would like to assure Greater Tzaneen’s readers of the following: We are aware that there is a lack of parking directly in front of the library and are looking into possible solutions. In the mean time parking is always available at the parking lot between the library and the Tzaneen Museum. The outside of the library is indeed in need of attention and the recent rainy weather has made matters worse. The Library is scheduled for re-painting on the outside during the current municipal financial year, which ends on 30 June 2011. The lack of air conditioning in the library is regrettable as it affects library users and staff alike, and the heat damages books, which are mostly glued at the spines, and melts the material with which notices are fastened — hence the untidy appearance of notices mentioned by “Omgekrap”. The air conditioning units in the library need to be replaced and the Electrical Engineer has sourced quotations to install new air conditioning. Installing new air conditioning will cost approximately R200 000 and we are currently looking for ways to cover the expense. The “holes” in the ceiling mentioned by “Omgekrap” most probably refers to the leakages in the ceiling, which were caused by the recent heavy rains and have been reported to the Municipal Building Division. Repairs already started today. We would like to assure readers that the municipality values them, takes their com-

ments and complaints to heart and will do everything within its power to continue improving service delivery. • Thank you, Ms Mametja. This is indeed an historic moment: the GTM’s top official spontaneously reacts to public comments in the media and puts the record straight. This is a fresh approach of open communication with the people who pay the taxes to keep the GTM going. We salute you for the changes that you have already brought to the GTM. This is how it should be done and this newspaper will support you in your endeavours to be more transparent— Publisher

Stop initiation! Over Protective Parent from Phalaborwa writes: My child is a first year student at a well known university. On the first day of arrival, we were all excited, the most challenging career is now awaiting her.

Dangerous buses

Frans le Grange from Aqua Park, Tzaneen, writes: I submit this letter to the GTM to the media, since I seem to be ignored by the GTM. “In my previous e-mail we outlined the danger of the Great North buses stopping at the corners of Burman Street and Aqua Avenue. The danger is both to the passengers of GNT and the road users in that area. We have also requested that you investigate the gross misconduct by drivers ignoring the stop street at the crossing. Recently we also noted that one of the Stop signs at the crossing has been removed. I would like to state that it is life threatening to drive from one’s house onto Aqua Avenue from houses 105 to 113 and I believe that it is a matter of time until someone is seriously injured or even killed. The culmination of a blind spot, ignorance of the Stop sign and speed is an accident away from happening. I will also like to state in no unclear terms that if I or any member of my family get injured as a result of the buses of GNT parking in front of our house, or the fact that the Stop sign is missing, I will hold the GTM liable for any injury or loss. • Letter shortened.

‘n Baie sterk reënbui wat vir sowat veertig minute aangehou het, het Sondagaand op verskeie plekke in Tzaneen moles veroorsaak. By die Sasol R71 het die water in ‘n stadium tot gevaarlik naby die vloervlak van die geriefswinkel en wegneemete-restaurant gestyg, en werkers moes lelik bontstaan om die water met besems weg te

keer. Hulle was nog hiermee besig, toe ‘n modderstorting in die kleine van die terrein oorkant die pad, waar ‘n nuwe winkelsentrum gebou gaan word, die vulstasie se terrein byna onbegaanbaar gemmaak het.

Twee groot skenkings van onderskeidelik Phalaborwa Mining Company (PMC) en Sasol (Foskor) het dit moontlik gemaak dat dié dorp nou deel in die diens. ‘n Senior bestuurder van PMC is intussen benoem om in die direksie van die Art 21-maatskappy, wat die nuwe diens besit en bedryf, te dien. Die voorsitter van Tzaneen Private Ambulansdiens, dr Ig van Rensburg, sê “ons het nog hekkies, sommige aan die hoë kant, waaroor ons moet kom, maar die gemeenskap se ondersteuning en samewerking vul ons met moed dat die poging suksesvol deurgevoer kan word”. Volgens Van Rensburg bly maandelikse bydraes steeds die grootste enkele kopsorg. Ons werk aan ‘n plan om by ‘n punt te kom waar bydraers in verskillende kat-

egorieë ingedeel kan word, en dan bepaalde voordele kan geniet. Dit is egter ‘n ingewikkelde en langsame proses, sê hy. Intussen is die ambulans wat Tzaneen bedien ten volle in bedryf. Mnr Marlan en me Debra Heeres is in bevel, met twee personeellede wat ook kwalifikasies as paramedici het. Heeres het die hoogste kwalifikasie wat in die land vereis word en sy vrou is ‘n opgeleide verpleegsuster. Benewens die ruim kontantskenking van PMC het die myn ook ‘n reeks ander vorms van hulp aangebied, wat selfs noodtoerusting insluit. Na verwagting sal Phalaborwa se diens op 1 April begin. Mense wat wil bydra kan Heeres skakel by 083 276 4588, om vir ‘n debietorder te reël.

Spogontwikkeling vorder nie (dalk te veel skuld?)

Francois Aucamp Die spoggerige sekuriteitswoonbuurtontwikkeling in Aquapark, Tzaneen, wat verlede jaar met trompetgeskal aangekondig is, staan doodstil. Dit is duidelik dat die ontwikkelaar se geldsake nie reg is nie en krediteure staan tou om agterstallige betalings te probeer kry. Die Aqua Park Country Estate sou deur Phadima Property Developers ontwikkel word, met mnr Ralie Modjadji aan die stuur. Hulle het teen die lente van 2010 gespog dat die erwe soos soetkoek verkoop het en dat die ontwikkeling volstoom voortsnel. Verskeie aankondigings is gemaak oor strate wat klaar is en water en elektrisiteit wat aangelê word, maar min, of niks, is hiervan te sien nie. Maar toe die einde van die jaar aanbreek, het

Intussen verspoel alles en beland tonne grond in die vleigebied langs die terein, in die strate en in die pad na die begraafplaas langs die skouterrein. Intussen staan krediteure tou vir hul geld en Modjadji is nêrens te vind nie. Prokureurs in Tzaneen het reeds opdrag van krediteure gekry om dagvaarding teen Modjadji en Phadima uit te reik, in ‘n poging om sake op die spits te dryf.

New tertiary hospital planned A new tertiary hospital in Polokwane has long been a vision of government and now, finally, plans for a mega hospital are starting to take shape. Five new tertiary hospitals will be built across the country and will cost more than the World Cup stadia (which ran into billions of Rand), Health Minister,

dr Aaron Motsoaledi, said in a telephonic interview this week. Motsoaledi said not only will Polokwane’s new hospital be a mega hospital; it will also have a medical faculty, something which is sorely lacking in Limpopo. “Teams working on each hospital have been set up and the hospitals are in the planning stages.

Fascinating facts about

Love

• Historically, sweat has been an active ingredient in perfume and love potions. • The Mexican chief Montezuma considered choco chocolate a “love drug” and drank 50 cups of chocolate a day before visiting his harem of 600 women. • Getting dumped often leads to “frustration attraction,” which causes an in individual to love the one who dumped him or her even more. • Engagement rings are often worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because the ancient Greeks maintained that that finger contains the vena amoris, or the “vein of love,” that runs straight to the heart. • Since ancient Greece, the apple has been a symbol of love. The Celts believed that the apple represented love because it lasted so long after being picked. • Some psychologists argue that we fall in love with someone who is similar to the parent with whom we have unresolved childhood issues, unaware we are seeking to resolve this childhood relationship in adulthood. • Studies show that if a man meets a woman in a dangerous situation (and vice versa), such as on a trembling bridge, he is more likely to fall in love with her than if he met her in a more mundane setting, such as in an office. • Men and women with highly symmetrical faces tend to have more lovers to choose from. • The urge to fall in love is, like sex and hunger, a primitive, biological drive. • Romantic love lasts just over a year, perhaps because the brain cannot eternally maintain a revved-up state of romantic bliss. As romantic love wanes, attachment love, a more stable love, sets in. To keep the passion alive, experts suggest doing satisfying and exciting activities as a couple.

Quotes about

Love

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” --Aristotle “Take away love, and our earth is a tomb.” --Robert Browning “The only true gift is a portion of yourself.” --Ralph Waldo Emerson “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” --Robert Heinlein “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep, because reality is finally better than your dreams”. --Dr. Seuss “Deur twee dinge is my lewe vir my leefbaar gemaak; die liefde wat ek gegee het, en die liefde wat ek gekry het”. “Dis makliker om die gemeente lief te hê as jou buurman, en die hele menslike geslag as jou vrou se familie.” --C.J.

Die grotes wat nie weggekom het nie...

Lede van die Letaba Skibootklub in Tzaneen het Desember nie net gesels oor “daardie grote” nie, maar hulle het hom ook gevang. By Paindaine in Mosambiek het die boot Leoa do Mar drie marlyne op een dag aan boort gehad. Johann Swart en Albert Luus het elk ’n strepie-marlyn gevang. Die visse is gemerk en weer vrygelaat. Sidney Swart het ’n blou marlyn van 200 kg gevang. Hulle kon egter nie die Marlyn vrylaat nie. Dit word as ’n groot prestasie in die visvangwêreld beskou wanneer drie marlyne op een dag gevang word. Op die boot Uli Buli het Paul du Toit jnr twee blou marlyne in een week gevang. Hulle is ook gemerk en vrygelaat. Wiaan de Wet het ook op sy boot ’n blou marlyn van by die 230 kg gevang, wat ook gemerk en vrygelaat is.

LINKS: Sidney Swart hou die strepiemarlyn vas voordat dit weer vryggelaat is. VER LINKS: Albert Luus, Sidney Swart, Johann Swart en Tappies du Toit staan by die blou marlyn.

Brothers win gold again Three athletes of Merensky High School in Tzaneen represented Limpopo at the Interprovincial Biathlon held in Nelspruit recently. Limpopo competed with Central Gauteng, Gauteng North and Mpumalanga. Samuel Varrie was the winner of the boys u.15 event and brother Timothy the winner of the boys u.17 event. Sally Oosthuyse was seventh in the girls u.15 event.

Mikayla excels Mikayla McDonald, a grade 11 pupil of Stanford Lake College, attended the SA Horse Riding Championships in Port Elizabeth in December. She was placed fifth in the grand prix and tenth in the two-phase competitions in the open classes, namely 1,3 m, fifth in the two-phase of the 1,2 m class, and also represented Gauteng in the 1,2 m class team events, coming second as a team. The competition was stiff, with the very best junior riders in the country attending this event.

This week’s fitness tip Ettienne van Wyngaardt (Fitness specialist)

Have fun with fiber. Something about the word “fiber” just doesn’t sound appetising. But high-fiber foods can actually be quite delicious: fresh berries and other fruits, salads loaded with colourful produce, your favourite steamed vegetables or vegetable

soup, stews or chilli made with beans, chewy whole-grain breads and high fiber cereals. These foods just happen to be loaded with nutrients as well. High fiber foods keep you fuller with fewer calories, and they help keep your digestive system working at its best.

Hulle neem ook by groot dag deel Vier atlete van die Laerskool Tzaneen het onlangs aan die Internasionale Tweekampbyeenkoms in Mpumalanga deelgeneem. Hulle is Lara Oosthuizen, Gretchen Bekker en Anke Minnaar. Voor is Suné Minnaar.

Spogskole skop Super 15 goed af Vossies en Plasies wen oortuigend in hul eerste kragmetings Die Hoërskool Merenky se eerste krieketspan het die Super 15-liga op ’n hoë noot afgeskop, toe hulle Saterdag vir Rustenburg met 78 lopies geklop het. Merensky het eerste gekolf en op ’n baie moeilike blad en stadige buiteveld 191 lopies vir die verlies van agt paaltjies aangeteken. Hulle het aanvanklik gesukkel en het hul eerste twee paaltjies vir dertig lopies verloor. Kaptein Nsovo Baloyi en Tiaan Koekemoer het egter wal gegooi en ’n sestig lopie-vennootskap aangeteken, voordat Koekemoer vir 23 lopies uitgehaal is. Nsovo het 47 lopies aangeteken. JJ Coetzer het ’n vinnige 21 lopies van net veertien balle gemoker. Na ete het Rustenburg gekolf, maar onder groot druk van die Plasie-boulers gesukkel om lopies aan te teken. Alwyn Jacobs het in sy tweede boulbeurt twee paaltjies platgetrek. Sy boulsyfers was drie paaltjies vir agtien lopies in vyf boulbeurte. Marnus Marais het ook sy deel met die bal bygedra, toe hy twee paaltjies vir 18 lopies in sewe beurte laat kantel het. Die sterre met

die bal was egter die draaibalboulers Tiaan Koekemoer en Nsovo Baloyi. Koekemoer het een paaltjie laat kantel, maar hy het slegs tien lopies afgestaan in tien beurte waarvan vier leë beurte was. Nsovo het drie paaltjies vir agtien lopies in sy tien beurte ingepalm, waarvan twee leeg was. Merensky het die wedstryd gemaklik met 78 lopies gewen. Die eerste krieketspan van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het Saterdag teen Ermelo in hul eerste Super15-kragmeting vir die 2011 te staan gekom. Ben Vorster het die loot gewen en eerste gekolf. Hulle het vroeg reeds drie paaltjies vir slegs sewentien lopies verloor, maar danksy ’n kapteinsbeurt deur Dewald Joubert (79 lopies) en twee goeie vennootskappe kon die Vossies 175 lopies in 41 boulbeurte aanteken. Na ete het die Vossies Ermelo onmiddellik onder druk geplaas en paaltjies laat kantel. Ermelo is vir ’n skamele 73 lopies uitgehaal. Rikus Visser het drie paaltjies ingepalm en die Vossies het met 102 lopies geseëvier.

Basketball SA to host coaching clinics in Limpopo Herbert Rachuene Basketball South Africa (BSA) will embark on provincial coaching clinics aimed at empowering local coaches in February. The clinics that form part of BSA preparations for the National Championships tournament that will be staged at Ngaoko Ramahlodi Sport Arena in December, will involve local coaches from Vhembe, Sekhukhune, Mopani and Capricorn districts. “The aim of the clinics is to empower our local coaches with the latest trends of coaching which is becoming more scientific. “They will be co-ordinated by coaches

from Basketball SA. “Proving the lessons, the coaches who are found to be competent will be awarded merit certificates,” said the facilitator of the clinics and the national head coach of the u.17 girls, Mr Sinky Mphahlele. He also pointed out that they will focus on structured basketball which specialises in movements and jump shots. “We know that our players are very good in transitional basketball. It is in our best interest as coaches to equip our players in all aspects,” stated Mphahlele. LiN News/Observer
