GTM don’t have the answers Bulletin preparing to take them to court
The Greater Tzaneen Municipality have failed to supply the Bulletin with answers to nine simple questions after more than a month. This despite the acting municipal manager (MM), Ms Conny Mametja, having instructed her communications department’s staff, including the head of the department, Mr Thulani Twala, to forward the requested information to the Bulletin. Word in the GTM’s corridors has it that the MM is being boicotted by certain elements because she is “too strict and disciplined”. Bulletin sent a lawyer’s letter to the MM on Tuesday, notifying that we will file an application in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act if the
GTM does not respond withing three days (today being the third day). We will spend money on legal action in fighting the GTM on this is issue, in the interest of the community — and to fight the arrogant and uncalled for lack of transparency demonstrated by officials of the GTM. • We will report further on this matter next week, when we will also publish the nine questions. We want to put on record that we will not allow the community to be kept in the dark and we will not accept that ratepayers are being ignored. If Tzaneen’s residents are complacent and if the opposition parties represented in the GTM’s council can’t fight the lack of transparency, we will take the fight to the GTM. And we will not stop anything short of the highest authorities in the land.

Premier to address province Speaking from the podium in the Legislature today when he delivers his third State of the Province address, premier Cassel Mathale is expected to give feedback to the people of Limpopo on the most important issues affecting their lives. Political party representatives in the audience would especially be interested in news on matters of service delivery and reaching of past targets for, among others,
housing, health care, education and provision of water, while ruling party members are likely to applaud the achievements of Mathale’s administration. Mathale is expected to give an update on his first two State of the Province addresses while at the same time aligning his speech to the most recent State of the Nation address of President Zuma. He is anticipated of spending time on the cre-
ation of jobs in the province. At the same time economic development and foreign investment would most probably rank high on the list of topics to be touched on. At the same time he would probably give a wrap-up of the 2010 World Cup hosting, elaborate on the Lephalale development, refer to the improved matric pass rate, focus on safety and security etcetera.

Vlieg het homself maar afgevaardig om te reageer op “Bekommerde Ouer van die Laerskool Tzaneen” se brief van verlede week. Die hemele (met of sonder ‘n Aanseekaartjie) behoed ons dat die skoolmeester tog nie weer in die pers reageer nie. Of selfs die Besmeerraadvoorsitter. Ons het gesien wat die vorige keer gebeur het. Vlieg hoop tog dat die meester ag geslaan het op sy raad oor die wetenskap van briefskryf. Onthou meester nog Vlieg se wet: Vir elke blapsie is daar ‘n gelyke, maar welverdiende rapsie? Sien, Vlieg wil nou nie graag bekend staan as ‘n onderwysboetie nie. Allermins. Maar dit lyk tog vir Vlieg of Bekommerde Ouer ook kan doen met ‘n paar lesse in briefskryf. Vlieg het ‘n profiel probeer saamstel van Bekommerde Ouer, maar mag dalk verkeerd wees. Bekommerde Ouer, dink Vlieg, is Bekommerde Ma. ‘n Bekommerde pa met so baie opgeboude aggressie sou bloot die meester gaan dik tik het, en nie so lang brief geskryf het nie. Die inhoud van die brief kan ook beskryf word as gedagteslaai. Tipies van die ander geslag… en psigoses. ‘n Pa sou baie meer sistematies geskryf het. Vlieg dink ook sy is ‘n enkelouer. As sy nie is nie, gaan sy binnekort wees, want geen man kan lank met so iemand saamleef nie! Vlieg reken ook sy is hipokrities — waaraan Vlieg ‘n groot afkeur het.
Sy is waarskynlik gereeld by die skool, ken die onnies almal op hul voorname en “oe” en “aa” saam met hulle — én die meester. Maar smiddae is sy een van die mammies wat so teen die karre voor die skool of in die parkeerterrein leun en dieselfde onderwysers en ander ma’s staan en slegmaak en beskinder. Met respek, dink Vlieg ook dat Bekommerde Ouer se arendkind waarskynlik eerder ‘n mossie is, daarom dat sy van die skool verwag om haar opvoedingtaak ook sommer waar te neem. Vlieg beskou homself ‘n kenner te wees op die gebied van ander mense kwaad maak. Daarom kan Vlieg met vrymoedigheid ook vir Bekommerde Ouer sy raad aanbied as dit kom by briefskryf, veral met die doel om kwaad te maak. Dit is baie maklik om mense kwaad te maak, makliker as val uit ‘n boom uit, maar nie so maklik as om ‘n doktorsgraad in die teologie te kry nie. Mense word die kwaadste as hulle met die waarheid gekonfronteer word, nie met ‘n klomp subjektiewe ongesubstansieerde veralgemenings nie. Vlieg mag saamstem dat sekere skole meer uitnemende tekortkomings het as wat nodig is. Hoewel kritiek geregverdig mag wees, moet dit ook regverdig wees. Bekommerde Ouer, kry vir jou iets om te doen. Vlieg dink jy is verveeld!

Brêkfis saam met Riaan... (’n ope brief) Geagte Riaan Verskoon tog die familiariteit. Vir ‘n oompie (jou woordkeuse) is dit nogal vleiend om ‘n radiostasie se bestuurder sommer so informeel op die voornaam te noem. Ek het nie eens geweet mnr Tebatso Maapola is weg as bestuurder by ons nuwe tropiese radiostasie (GTFM) nie (ook maar agter die tyd en die klip, né!). Iemand sê vandag hy is steeds daar en ek het dit verkeerd . Maar kan al die baie mense wat vir my sê hulle het jou ontmoet as die stasiebestuurder dan verkeerd wees? Ek skuld jou natuurlik ‘n yslike apologie, dat ek na jou gleuf verwys het as Lunch with Riaan. Dit is mos Lunchtime with Riaan. Ons koerantmense is nie gewoond aan middagetes nie en die blote gedagte aan ‘n etenstyd van 12 tot 3 (jou lunchtime-program se duur) het my gedisoriënteer. Groot ekskuus. Jy het verlede Vrydag baie tyd aan ons, dis nou die oompie en die koerant, afgestaan. Dankie vir die gratis publisiteit. Ek het weer besef jy het dalk ‘n behoefte aan voorstelle
vir programinhoud. Met so ‘n goue radiostem — ek is opreg hiermee — behoort jy gehoor te word en moet ‘n gebrek aan programinhoud nie in jou pad staan om die eter voluit te beset nie. Jou hordes (jou woord) luisteraars sal tog so verlig wees as jy ononderbroke kan gesels oor aktuele sake en jou nie hoef te bemoei met kleinlikhede soos plaaslike koerantjies en hul “oompies” nie. Nou hier is ‘n paar gedagtes waaraan jy kan herkou, so tussen al die werk wat ‘n stasiebestuurder wat sommer ook omroeper is, noodwendig baie besig sal hou: • Wat van ‘n lekker onderhoud met ‘n paar skuldinvorderaars? Laat hulle vir die volk vertel hoe hulle werk. Jy kan hulle uitvra oor skuiwergate en hoe mens kan “duck and dive” om hulle te ontglip (ek kleur nou ook die taal so ‘n bietjie rooi in, om darem in pas met jou te bly). • Met jou kennis en ervaring van oproepsentrums (“call centre”) kan jy vir ons vertel hoe werk die goed nou eintlik. Moenie dat LEFT: Area chairman Len Honeyborne inducted Mr Bruce Mogg as chairman of Round Table Tzaneen for 2011/12 at their recent meeting in their clubhouse. RIGHT: Here are most of the 28 members who attended the recent meeting of Round Table Tzaneen. Various events for this year were discussed during the meeting and the members have big plans for 2011.
Tzaneen’s Round Tablers have interesting plans The Round Table Tzaneen held their second meeting for the year and 28 members attended. Attendees included two “tablers” from Tzaneen, six “pipe liners” from Tzaneen, two previous area-chairmen and eighteen “tablers” from the Bushveld Area.
At the meeting, the area chairman, Mr Len Honeyborne, inducted Mr Bruce Mogg as the Chairman for 2011/12. Projects like the Fresh Water Kayak Fishing competition were also discussed. The fishing competition will be the first of its kind and will take place on the Tzaneen
Dam on 26 March. The next meeting of Round Table will be held at their clubhouse in Circle Drive on 1 March at 19:00 and the first social will be at Ebenezer Dam on 27 February. For more information: Bruce on 082 824 4291 or Dale on 082 820 6029.
Man kry borgtog oor gesteelde voertuie Die man van Tzaneen wat daarvan verdink word dat hy na bewering minstens agt mense met vermoedelik gesteelde voertuie verkul het, is Dinsdag in die landdroshof in Tzaneen borgtog van R10 000 met voorwaardes toegestaan. Hy moet weer op 5 Mei in die hof verskyn. Die staat het borgtog teengestaan. Gerrie Jacobs het hom op 7 Februarie vrywillig aan die polisie oorgegee, op aanbeveling van sy prokureur, me Anita Campbell, nadat hy deur speurders van Tzaneen se voertuigdiefstaleenheid opgespoor is. Hy is Woensdag deur die polisie van Krugersdorp kom haal, vir ‘n klag van bedrog teen hom, waarby ‘n voertuig ook glo ter sprake is. Hy is vroeër daar op borgtog van R2 500 vrygelaat, maar die klag is kort daarna van die rol geskrap. Die aanklag is intussen heropen. Die aanklagte teen Jacobs spruit uit voertuigtransaksies in Tzaneen wat skeefgeloop het. Die polisie het vasgestel dat die voertuie met ‘n kode drie-registrasie verkoop was. Dit beteken die registrasie is dié van ‘n voertuig wat van
die nasionale register geskrap is, maar in werklikheid was dit gesteelde voertuie. Die ondersoekbeampte, kapt DJ Claasen, het vasgestel dat al die voertuie as gesteel aangemeld is en het daarop beslag gelê. Die herverkoopwaarde van die voertuie is R1,18 miljoen. Die voertuie word nie verbeurd verklaar soos verlede week in ‘n plaaslike koerant berig is nie, maar sal aan hul oorspronklike eienaars of versekeringsmaatskappye terug besorg word (as dié eienaars klaar vir die diefstal vergoed is). Minstens vyf voertuie is in Tzaneen opgespoor, terwyl een in Polokwane, een in Kaapstad en die wrak van nog ‘n voertuig teruggevind is. Claasen sê die staat vermoed dat ‘n diefstalsindikaat agter die hele ding skuil. Hy sal minstens nog drie maande met sy ondersoek besig wees, om al die verbindings en bewyse op te spoor. Hy het die publiek versoek om na vore te kom as hulle vermoed dat hulle onwetend ‘n gesteelde voertuig gekoop het.
die dom ou in die dorp wat nie wou vasbyt met jou plan vir ‘n “call centre” vir sy besigheid jou van koers bring nie. Hoe hy so ryk geword het en die land vol suksesvol sake doen, weet nugter en Jan Blom. Want hy het duidelik nie jou visie nie. • ‘n Lekker program kan wees as jy gedagtes deel oor borgskapwerwing. Sê nou maar byvoorbeeld vir ‘n skou of soiets. Dit sal ons dorp baie help as mense kan weet hoe die vurk in die hef steek om delikate geldinsameling te bestuur. • Ek dink ook jy kan geweldig baie mense ‘n guns bewys deur ‘n dag jou uitgerekte etenstyd af te staan aan voorligting oor hoe ‘n mens jou werkgewer kan oortuig om vir ‘n besoek aan Kaapstad of Durban te betaal, sodat jy ‘n paar werksdae as ‘n kort vakansie kan benut. Ek ken iemand wat hiermee kan help, as jy insette sou benodig. Ek het nog verskeie ander voorstelle om te maak, maar ek dink vireers is dit genoeg. Ten besluite (soos die dominee sê en aange-
sien jy deesdae so gesteld is op kanseltaal): ek wil my nie slim hou nie, maar dit lyk my ek kan tog vir jou ietsie sê oor direkte en indirekte finansiering. Jy sê die oompie praat twak as hy sê julle kry hier en daar ‘n aalmoesie van GTeda via die GTM. Direk kry julle dalk nie iets nie. Maar indirek? Ek gee vir jou ‘n voorbeeld. As stasiebestuurder weet jy mos dat julle die GTM gevra het vir ‘n voertuig en ‘n bestuurder om jul tropiese radiostasie met “road shows” aan die hordes (jou woord) luisteraars en potensiële luisteraars te gaan bemark. Is dit vermetelheid, of is dit omdat daar die vrymoedigheid is om vir “godfather” te vra? Of is dit deel van die indirekte subsidie uit die belastingbetalers se sakke? Nou dink ek ook aan die 10% kommissie uit advertensieverkope vir die tropiese radiostasie, maar kom ons laat dit vir ‘n volgende keer. Dit is slapenstyd vir oompies. Ek groet dus vireers, tot volgende keer. Oompie Francois Aucamp.

Enjoy (and use) our new shopping guide There is little hope, if any, that South Africa will escape a new meltdown in the economy. Economists warn that we will see a steep hike in the price of food and other essential commodities, sooner rather than later. Shopping already challenges John Citizen to be watchful for price increases and crawling inflation. The Bulletin, acknowledged for its undisputable loyalty to its readers, today announce two new services for the benefit of our readers. The first is our Price watch (on this page), which will feature weekly and will offer an index of food prices in the major chain supermarkets. This will enable readers to see how prices differ and how and when prices
climb or drop. The second new service entails a weekly tip on how to interpret or understand terminology used for products that we may often use — but don’t necessarily feel comfortable with, because it is technical to some extend. This new column is today to be found on page 2 — in the shape of an oil can and with an easy to understand explanation of the information on cans with motor oil. It is sponsored by the distributor of the oil. Watch it and get wiser. Also watch the price index and get more knowledgeable. We trust that our readers will enjoy the new service and we promise to extend our service to readers even further. Watch us!

Agt gesinne wat woonhuise by die Makgoba Trust in Magoebaskloof huur, se kragtoevoer gaan afgesny word. Hulle sit boonop sedert Desember sonder water. Die ironie is dat hulle ‘n hernubare tienjaar-huurkontrak met die Trust het, wat water en ligte insluit. Hulle het almal ses maande vooruit betaal en duisende rand uit eie sak bestee om die huise woonbaar te maak. Nou het hulle kennis gekry dat die krag binne veertien dae afgesny sal word (die brief is op 2

Februarie uitgereik) omdat die Trust die GTM byna ‘n miljoen rand vir krag skuld. Een van die huurders, mnr Sakkie Meyer, sê hy het onlangs uit desperaatheid hul lot by die LUR vir landbou in Limpopo, me Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba, gaan bekla. Sy het toe onmiddellik die Trust gebel met die bevel dat die water herstel word. Sy is vertel die waterpomp is gesteel. Mnr Gideon Breedt, wat reeds meer as R400 000 aan sy huurhuis bestee het, wil weet waarheen hul geld verdwyn. “Ek het my huur van R1 500 per maand ses maande vooruit betaal. Dit is in die Makgoba Trust se bankreke-ning, maar die munisipaliteit kry nie hul deel nie.” Mnr Levy Mehlape, wat ook daar woon en die verhurings namens die Trust hanteer, is net so omgekrap oor die toestand. Hy het Woensdagaand op ‘n vergadering gesê hulle beplan om hul eie kragmeters aan te skaf. Hulle sal dan self vir hul krag betaal en dit

van die huurgeld aftrek. Een van die groter huurders, mnr Joop Steenkamp, betaal R5 500 vir die huur van die Pekoe View restaurant, maar moet elke dag 600 liter water vir die restaurant aanry. Volgens Meyer het Steenkamp laat blyk hy sal die huur opsê as die krag afgesny word. Dit sal die einde wees van ‘n restaurant wat eens internasionaal vir sy pragtige uitsig oor die teeplantasies bekend was. Nog ‘n omstrede saak is die stryd tussen die LUR en die Makgobas oor die aanwending van die Sapekoe-plantasies. Die maatskappy Limpopo Green Estate Holdings het toestemming vir die vervaardiging van ‘n ekstrak uit die bestaande teeblare, wat teen MIV ingespan sal word — maar Westfalia het intussen ‘n kontrak met die Makgobas gesluit om op minstens ‘n duisend hektaar avokado’s te plant. Nou is daar sprake dat die LUR beloofde geld gaan terug hou en nie een van die twee ontwikkelings gaan toelaat nie.

Tea extract group are going ahead It is clear that Limpopo Green Estate has the full cooperation of the Limpopo agricultural government to go ahead with their project to produce tea extracts on Magoebaskloof’s Sapekoe land. Agriculture MEC Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba confirmed this after interacting with the Greater Tzaneen Economic Development Agency (GTEDA) and Mr Roger Duffield of Limpopo Green Estate. Duffield said in an interview the extract produced a phytonutrient catechin which has been identified as an antiviral that block the entry pathways of the HIV-1 virus to the CD4 lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell responsible for coordinating the functions of the immune system to fight infection. Research has been going on since 2003, which proved that phytonutrients identified in
plants have many health benefits including antioxidant and anti viral activities. This extends to citrus fruits, banana, guava, tomato and green tea, where an extensive library of research and information has been established. “Specific phytonutrients assist the body in fighting off diseases which include various cancers, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases together with other viral infections, including the HIV virus. The problem is poor absorption in humans and animals. The catechins from tea can be absorbed in the body efficiently.” He said apart from the giant leap to be taken against HIV1, the project will create a huge amount of jobs for the people of Magoebaskloof. The extract will assist the body’s natural defence systems in fighting viruses and diseases. It slows down the development of HIV, but it will not prevent it. ‘n Ontluikende skoonDuffield said they heid van Tzaneen het have not yet engaged beoordelaars beïndruk tydens die Miss the Medicine ConValentine-skoonheids- trol Center, but they kompetisie in Polok- envisage utilizing all wane.

kietie word langs die oewer van die Groot Letabarivier gehou, met ‘n verskeidenheid uitstallings onder die groot rivierbome, ‘n markiestent en demonstrasies op landbougrond en in sitrusboorde. Dit is nie ‘n geldmaakstorie nie, sê Reynecke, maar ‘n plan om die landbougemeenskap op ‘n egte boeredag byeen te bring. Hulle wil dit soortgelyk maak aan die jaarlikse Nampo-oesdag by Bothaville, al is dit op ‘n kleiner skaal. Die groep boere en verteenwoordigers in die landbouvervaardigingsbedryf het Dinsdagaand aanvanklik kommer uitgespreek dat dit met Tzaneen se Agri Ekspo kan indruis, maar dit lyk of dié twee geleenthede later versoen kan word. Die gedagte is om die Boeredag volgende jaar by die Ekspo in te skakel deur dit ‘n dag vroeër op die Ekspo-skouterrein aan te bied. Onder die 22 afgevaardigdes by die vergade-
ring was bekendes in die landbou, soos mnre Pieter Vorster van Letsitele, Fanie van Jaarsveld van Ofcolaco en Braam van Deventer, wat met die boere in Soekmekaar skakel. Deelnemers aan die Boeredag sluit studiegroepe, motorhandelaars, trekkergroepe en groot kommersiële instansies soos ZZ2, Farmers World, NTK en ander reuse in. Komitees is aangewys om die verskillende afdelings van die dag te hanteer. Die moeilike een – dié van die meganiese aanbieding – rus op die skouers van mnr Stefan le Roux van TTS. Erasmus is ook met verskeie take belaai en moet onder meer die dominee reël om die dag te open. Hulle wil ook ‘n bekende kunstenaar reel om die dag voor die besoekers op te tree. Reynecke sê dit gaan ‘n byeenkoms van vreugde wees, waar boer en verskaffer groot prêt saam kan hê sonder om ‘n steek werk te doen.

Die mense hoor
Die GTM swyg Dit het vir ‘n lang ruk goed gegaan tussen die Bulletin en die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit. Ons het gevind amptenare was meer bereid om te praat, as toestemming verleen is dat hulle met die media kon praat. Toe bars die bom: die omstrede munisipale bestuurder is oornag weg (was voor ‘n ultimatum gestel) en ‘n bekwame dame word waarnemend aangestel. Van meet af aan was sy vriendelik, openhartig en gasvry en het sy gou-gou ‘n baie goeie verhouding met ons opgebou. Sommige dae het ons gedink dit is net te goed om waar te wees, maar dan was ons die volgende dag skaam omdat ons gewantrou het. Nou het politieke binnegevegte duidelik sy tol begin eis. Die kapokhaantjies in die GTM se kommunikasie-afdeling weier om opdragte uit te voer. Die opdrag van die hoogste amptenaar is gewoon van die tafel gevee.

Trotse betrokke ouers Suzette van Tzaneen skryf per e-pos: Ek rig die bedanking met ʼn hart wat oorloop van trots. Wat ʼn puik byeenkoms Saterdag 21 Februarie. Die atletiek was soos gewoonlik ʼn groot sukses. Kinders van Drakensig, Louis Trichardt, Mariepskop, Southern Cross, Unicorn Preparatory, Unity en ouers het in hul massas op die skool toegesak. Wens ek kon al die besoekers tel, want die pawiljoen het gegons met opgewonde ouers wat nie kon ophou praat oor die wyse wat die Laerskool Tzaneen elke jaar as gasheer hulle ontvang nie. Danksy goeie organisasies, dissipline en styl net soos ons skool weet hoe, was daar genoeg te eet en drink, die terrein was deur die loop van die dag skoon gehou, almal op hul poste en soos die program sê so is die skool se wyse om stiptelik op tyd te wees, elke item presies op tyd, wat ʼn plesier. Dankie mnr Vic ons skoolhoof, vir die wonderlike wyse om ʼn baie suksesvolle atletiekseisoen mee te kon afsluit. Ons skool hoef nooit terug te kyk nie, DIT is waarom ons skool die jaar 90 jaar oud word en ons as ouers wat in die selfde banke as ons kinders gesit het kan sê ons het nog nooi teleurgesteld huis toe gegaan nie, dit is te danke aan U, die personeel en elke positiewe betrokke ouer wat ʼn passie vir sy kind se skool het.

Salt and Light Mat. 5: 13-16
Rice is as bland as one can get, now many may not eat rice, but I do and if someone forgets to put salt in, the rice seems tasteless. I am unfortunately, very fond of salt and have often been warned by my doctor to be more careful with it as it can affect my health. But here I am at 62 and according to my latest check-up as fit as a fiddle. So who says salt is wrong? Salt plays an important role in ones life as it adds flavour to food. In Mathew’s gospel Jesus says “ You are the salt of the earth.” So Christ is using the use of salt as an example of adding flavour to something. Thus if we are compared to salt, then we must be worthwhile in this world. With Christ in our lives we add the flaDankie aan elke onderwyser wat ons kinders in die middae op die atletiekveld afgerig het, die terugvoering van prestasies op die podium is bewyse van harde werk van leerling en onderwyser. Dit was so lekker dag, dat dit swaar was om huis toe te gaan. Die groot opruim het begin deur die hulp van die skoolleiers en onderwyser. Wat ʼn uitnemende skool.
Ovation! Sandra de Roubaix, Box 676, Hoedspruit, writes: I would like to write about a few matters! 1. On behalf of everyone living in our district I would like to thank KPMM for the excellent work done on the R527. Firstly the work done is of such a high standard and shows that there are still people who are proud of their work. The road is beautifully resurfaced and must rank as one of the best in the province, if not the country! Secondly the management of the traffic flow was done almost painlessly. Each time I drive to town from the Blyde there is progress. I know that much work was done at night.
vour to life. Christ further says “If the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?” It is useless. Now if we lose our faith and continue to deny Christ, we too become worthless. In other words, if we continue to sin. Being the “salt of the earth” can also mean we are Christ’s disciples and are considered by Christ as an integral part of His kingdom. So it is up to us to at all times endeavour to live up to Christ’s example, and if we do sin we must repent and ask forgiveness, which Christ readily gives us. Let us all try to add flavour to this world by being what Christ wants us to be. God Bless This company deserves a standing ovation! 2. It’s the traffic police again and the Blyde Complex! On Friday they were trapping a short distance from the baobab on the steep hill. The problem is that I am sure that the gradient does not allow for legal trapping. Can someone determine this? Then they were parked opposite the complex, yet were trapping to both sides. From what I gather they may only trap on the side they are parked. If this is so and they were trapping towards the river, they were doing so illegally. If they were trapping towards the baobab and the gradient is too steep to allow for trapping, this would also be illegal. Could you please clear up this matter for us? On Friday morning we were leaving Blyde Complex when one of their vehicles, upon spotting their comrades, just stopped in front of us on the blind rise, put on the ‘magic flashers’ and blocked the traffic. It was a very dangerous thing to do as people have been killed at that very spot! Anyone swerving out for these cretins could be killed right there. This illegal trapping really needs to be nipped. • We will try and get comment from the authori-

Wat’s dit met krag? J A Krog van Lushof skryf: Ek wil probeer duidelikheid kry oor die redes vir die baie kragonderbrekings in die Lushof-gebied. Tot tien maal in twee weke. Wanneer dit skemer word weet ons al dat die lampe en kerse maar uitgehaal moet word. Dis omtrent al ‘n daaglikse storie. Hier waar ek nou sit en skryf doen ek dit by die lig van een paraffienlamp en talle kerse. Omtrent 18:10 vanaand het die krag weer af gegaan. Dis nou 18:50 en nog steeds donker. Die krag gaan soms ook in die middel van die nag af. Dit sien mens aan die plas water op die kombuisvloer voor die yskas in die oggend. Dit is moontlik dat die hoof van die elektrisiteitvoorsiening nie bewus is van die probleem nie. Ek weet nie. Maar ek doen nou ‘n beroep op hom om asseblief op hierdie saak in te gaan en te doen wat nodig is om ons kragvoorsiening weer normal te laat verloop. Daarvoor sê ek aan hom by voorbaat dankie. Ook dankie aan die koerant vir die plasing van hierdie brief.

Amended traffic laws scrapped The amended traffic law that would have seen speeding driver’s driving licences suspended as from 1 February is no longer effective and the original regulations are back in place. This was confirmed by Roads & Transport spokesperson, Mr Callies Matlala. Once enforced, the amended regulations would have, amongst others, seen to the suspension of the driving licences of motorists convicted of driving more than 30 km/h over the speed limit in urban areas and more than 40 km/h over the speed limit outside urban areas. Other changes included: Cheating during tests for a learners’ or drivers’ licence would have become an offence; new vehicles which were registered after 1 August 2010 would have had to have number plates fitted with pop rivets or screws and not two-sided tape; anyone who received a driving licence for a heavy motor vehicle after 1 February 2011 would no longer have been allowed to drive a light motor vehicle using the same licence (there would have had to have been a separate light motor vehicle licence); there would have been prescribed forms for road accident reports; all municipal police officers would have
been regarded as traffic officers without having to have dual appointments; and all minibus and minibus vehicles that transport paying passengers would have had to have been fitted with an expensive piece of hi-tech equipment – a directional stability control device – which minimises the risk of losing control of the vehicle when braking suddenly. The department was also considering issuing a “general learners licence” which would allow a person to apply for a second category of licence without having to go through the process of getting a second learners. The amendment pertaining to breathalysers that may be used has also been scrapped for now. The change to vehicle registration fees has also been put on hold. Matlala said the department is now consulting further on the matter. “The proposed amendments, although not yet enforced, as well as the consultation processes, have been welcomed by MEC Pinky Kekana. She says any new legislation that will assist in reducing the number of accidents on our public roads is good news for all road users,” Matlala concluded.

Marula Festival thrives for national appeal
The MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, Mr Pitsi Moloto, says the annual Marula Festival in Phalaborwa should not only be about drinking Marula beer, but also to stimulate tourism and make the festival a national brand. Speaking at the launch of the sixth Marula Festival at Phalaborwa he cited that it is time for the festival to take its rightful place as a national event. “In order to obtain a national appeal we will have to think out of the box and provide uniquely Limpopo products which have the potential to attract all South Africans. Besides the tourism treasures we have, LimLiN News/Observer popo boasts cultural diversity like no other.
We will tap our cultural diversity and grow the Marula Festival as an uniquely Limpopo brand,” Moloto said. The festival will be officially opened on Thursday next week. The department will host the Cuisine Ala Marula cooking competition aimed at developing special dishes out of Marula fruit. The annual Golf Challenge is expected to take place at Hans Merensky Golf Estate on Friday. Later on there will be an open-air concert which will feature different artists. Tickets for the festival can be bought at Shoprite/Checkers at R80 for adults and R20 for children. LiN News/Observer

First Tshivenda film recounts first Tshivenda novel Ancestral customs contrasting with the reality of modernity, the emerald green abundance of the Thohoyandou landscape and pulsating African drumbeats of the Tshikona dance created the scene for the first Tshivenda feature film adapted from the first Tshivhenda novel ever published. The film titled Elelwani is the result of the book by the same name and the work of Venda author Titus Maumela, who used the backdrop of Lake Fundudzi, Pipidi Falls and the Sacred Forest in the Thohoyandou area as setting for a timeless story written back in the Fifties. Decades later a team of creative minds from Gauteng and the Cape trekked to the north of the province in a quest to capture that narrative against an authentic backdrop. Research for the project by Shadowy Meadows Productions in Johannesburg took three years before principal photography could start in January this year. The crew wrapped up last Sunday and the film is envisaged to be completed by around November. It is a production for which R3,2 million was initially budgeted, but in the end would cost more to produce due to factors like natural phenomena arising from the floods. While their previous visits were uneventful nothing could, however, prepare them for the physical challenges presented by partial floods in the area at a time when shooting was supposed to commence. The crew knew very little what they were entering into. They had to fight the terrain and surrender to cultural and language differences. Making the film was a huge spiritual journey and somewhat of a pilgrimage for the film crew.
The film features Florence Masebe in the lead role of Elelwani and the cast includes homeboy Aishifa Shabba Muleya who plays the romantic lead, Vusi Kunene who is King Thovele, Mutodi Neshehe and Sammy Moeti, while members of the local community were also incorporated through their participation in, among others, the Tshikona dance. It is the story of 24-year-old graduate who is promised to a Venda prince, despite her intention to study in the US as a Fulbright scholar with her true love. Realising the impact on her destitute and culturally aware family, she eventually gives in for respect for the customs of her ancestors. Through her intelligence and beauty she secures the trust and confidence of the prince, who also learns of her aspirations to study further and her love for her prince. In a brilliantly crafted plan that taps into the traditional beliefs of the community and their fears, she escapes the customary marriage after soulful self-discovery. “It is the story about a woman’s courageous spirit to challenge the patriarchy of her community and to follow her heart to realise her dreams.� The film is regarded as offering important insight into Venda culture, reflecting the myths, legends and taboos of not just the beliefs but the challenge of incorporating contemporary South African aspirations with

Robbers ambush Mews Beaunice Machitela Residents of the Heritage Mews security complex in Tzaneen were ambushed by three armed men on Saturday evening. It is believed the men followed a resident through the open gate, to get access to the complex. They reportedly found the residents (two men and a woman) sitting socially on their patio, and demanded money. The men allegedly tied up the two men and got away with a black/grey Audi A3, four cellular telephones, a laptop
computer and a remote control to the complex’s gate. Mr Elijah Mdluli from Flora Park (owner of the stolen car) reported to the police that he had been visiting his friends, when the incident took place. Mdluli’s car was later found in Aqua Park. One of the residents in the complex told us that they now felt rather insecure, since the criminals had the remote to the security complex with them. This means they could come in again at any time. A police investigation is ongoing.
No RDP help available After loosing her house in a fire last year Ms Maria Nkuna, an unemployed single mother from Mokgolobotho Village outside Tzaneen, was denied a house. She shared her house with two of her children and her niece. In a fight to secure a roof over their heads she visited the Reconstruc-

Nkuna said she was astounded to see a nearby villager getting a house. Nkuna said she was also promised food and clothing for the kids that never arrived. By Duncan Mogale

Climate change may shrivel forestry and agriculture
A newly published handbook on climate change and its effects paints a gloomy picture for South Africa’s forestry sector. A report titled Climate Change Handbook for North-Eastern South Africa, published by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, warns that some areas may no longer be suitable for commercial forestry due to a projected increase in rainfall and temperatures. AgriSA and Forestry SA, which represent large-scale farmers and timber growers in South Africa, say they have not reached a consolidated position on global warming and the effects it will have on the future of South Africa’s agricultural and forestry sectors. Koos van Zyl of AgriSA says the body will discuss the matter and may reach a view in March. According to www.southafrica.co.za, forestry plantations cover about 1.3 million hectares of South Africa’s land surface. The forestry sector, which employs close to 170 000 people mainly in rural parts of
Mpumalanga, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, contributes more than R16 billion to the South African economy yearly. But the sector looks set for tough times ahead if projections by the Climate Change Handbook for North-Eastern South Africa are anything to go by. The handbook states that: • Given projected increases in temperature and changes in rainfall, some areas may no longer be suitable for commercial forestry; • Climate change is likely to exacerbate existing declines in river run-off due to water use by commercial plantations, agriculture, and urban and industrial land use. The report also warns that the degradation of South Africa’s natural agricultural capital may be exacerbated by climate change. It also warns that projected increasing temperatures and changes in rainfall timing, amount and frequency, have critical implications for the full range of agricultural systems in South Africa. “Emerging agriculture is likely to be particularly adversely affected, due to, in many cases, lower adaptive capacity,” it says. The agricultural sector is also likely to feel the direct and indirect impacts of projected climatic changes in a number of ways: • Crop productivity may decrease for even small increases in temperature; • Increased temperatures and resulting evaporation are likely to increase irrigation Te huur demands in a country where existing water Modjadjiskloof/Duiwelskloof supply and quality difficulties already proAvailable 1st March vide stress to the irrigated agriculture sector; 2011. while Charming garden flat, 1 • Existing water supply and water quality bedroom, sitting room, challenges already stress irrigated agriculture. kitchen/ dining room, Predicted climate change impacts on water bathroom, lock up supply and quality will add to these stresses, parking, small private patio with braai.

Jaco finishes on podium Off-road motorcycle and quad competitors younger than 17 years had to work hard to score points at the RORMC Junior National event, the opening round of the 2011 Junior National Offroad Championship. Competitors were tested to their limits in the Mookgophong (Naboomspruit) area and had to endure a tough route and hot weather conditions over the weekend. The Senior Quad Class is as competitive as ever and the 2010 runner-up Tinus Bredenkamp opened his onslaught with a comfortable win after a troublefree run. But it is the rider from Tzaneen, Jaco Moller, who made his intentions clear by achieving his first podium finish. His new sponsor,
PS Storm Racing, is very proud. With the first points now on the scoreboard and a few weeks before the Rover Junior National event on 2 April in Port Elizabeth, the young off-road rider can focus on his fitness and riding skills.
Plasies se toptien is oorgehaal
This week’s fitness tip Ettienne van Wyngaardt (Fitness specialist)
Drink more fluids. Hydration is important when you’re on a fitness plan, but drinking plenty of water has particular benefits for your midsection. It helps keep your stomach full so you don’t overeat and it helps flush out excess sodium to prevent belly bloating. Eating more potassium-rich foods, such as tomatoes and bananas, will also help in this area.
Plain H2O can’t be beaten, but you can also switch it up with flavoured waters, iced tea and anything else you like to drink that isn’t full of sweeteners. How much do you need? The old rule of eight glasses a day is a good start, but everyone is different. Drink more if you’re exercising or when it’s hot out and less if you’re running to the bathroom every 5 minutes.
Die Plasies het Vrydag aan nog ‘n vriendskaplike atletiekbyeenkoms in Nylstroom deelgeneem en baie goed gevaar ter voorbereiding vir die interhoër-byeenkoms later die maand. Die toptien meisies is Rirhanzu Shikwambana, Jancé Geldenhuys, Wency Mtombeni, Elmien Marais en Naomi Munduku. Agter is Melissa Steenkamp, Jessica Oosthuyse, Arika Niemandt, Sally Oosthuyse en Mariska Steenkamp. Die toptien seuns is Phillemon Mabidilala, AJ Brits, Rassie Rasetaba en Ruan van Wyk. Agter is Rynhardt de Lange, Solly Mukutu, Marno vd Meulen, Tian Koekemoer, Kevin Latane en Samuel Varrie.

Viljoen kelder Benoni High Die eerste krieketspan van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het Saterdag op eie bodem nog ’n pragoorwinning in die Super 15-reeks behaal, toe hulle Benoni High geklop het. Benoni het die loot gewen en Ben Vorster gevra om eerste te kolf. Goeie kolfvennootskappe het die Vossies tot ’n allemintige 257 lopies vir die verlies van agt paaltjies in hul toegelate vyftig boulbeurte geneem. John Viljoen het 56 lopies gemoker, terwyl Jannes Dry 28 lopies, Dewald Joubert 27 lopies, Matome Modiba 25 lopies en Adolf Smith 24 lopies aangeten het. Die Tzaneense hitte en humiditeit het die Benoni-kolwers die onderspit laat delf en kon hulle slegs 114 lopies in 36 boulbeurte bymekaar skraap. Schoeman Mynhardt het met die bal uitgeblink en vier paaltjies vir 25 lopies in agt boulbeurte laat kantel. Dewald Joubert en John Viljoen het ook ingeoes deur elk twee paaltjies te laat kantel.
Dit was beslis Viljoen se dag, want hy het ook vier vangkanse benut. Ben Vorster het met 143 lopies gewen. Durant Truter het Saterdag in die o.15’s se wedstryd teen Benoni vyf paaltjies vir 22 lopies laat kantel.

Vossies is ook gereed vir interhoër Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het hul voorbereiding vir die interhoër-atletiekbyeenkoms afgesluit met ’n byeenkoms by Ben Viljoen in Groblersdal. Dit was die laaste geleentheid vir die atlete om hul plekke in die A- en B-spanne te verseker. Die Vossies pluk nou die vrugte van gedissiplineerde voorbereiding.

The Ebenezer Mile is a month away The twelfth Ebenezer Mile will be held on Sunday 20 March and as usual it will be a big day for participants of the mile as well as the 3000 m swim. Last year the race was delayed by mist and most of the swimmers remained for a long while in the cold conditions and made their swim when the mist lifted. Once more they earned the admiration for their dedication and endurance, making the day a great success.
There will be many prizes in different categories, courtesy of our many generous sponsors and food and refreshments will be on sale. Entries can be done online at www.entrytime. com as well as on 19 March at the venue, which is again the yacht club at Ebenezer.
