Koos en kunsmis val vliegtuig flenters
Die wrak van mnr Koos Malan, ervare en bekende vhandelsvlieënier van Tzaneen, se vliegtuig lê in die teeplantasie op die Tshvhase-landgoed by Sibasa. Lees op bladsy 3 verder.
Mnr Koos Malan, ervare en bekende handelsvlieënier van Tzaneen, het ‘n noue ontkoming gehad, toe sy vliegtuig met ‘n ton kunsmis aan boord in ‘n teeplantasie neergestort het. Hy was verlede Dinsdag op die Tshivhase Teelandgoed in Sibasa besig met korreltoediening, toe die enjin skielik gestaak het. Hy was dertig meter bo die grond en moes die tuig in die teeplantasies neersit, maar met die swaar vrag kunsmis het dit met die landing heeltemal verbrokkel. “Jy kan nie van ‘n vrag korrelkunsmis ontslae raak soos met vloeistof nie en ek moes noodgedwonge ondertoe gaan.”
Malan het net met ‘n paar ligte skrape uit die wrak geklim. Volgende week begin die sitrusboere in die Laeveld se oesspuitprogram wat deur Malan met dié vliegtuig toegedien sou word. Gelukkig is ‘n ander vliegtuig op bystand en ‘n vertraging van hoogstens drie dae word verwag; wat nie ‘n ernstige verskil aan die spuitprogram sal maak nie. Malan was dié week in Nelspruit, vanwaar hy en sy vrou besluit het om deur die Kruger Nasionale Park terug te keer — as deel van hul ontspanning na die skok wat die vliegongeluk noodwendig veroorsaak het.
Drama at Sapekoe The disputed Sapekoe tea estate in Magoebas-kloof was visited by a contingent of representatives from various sections in the Limpopo Department of Agriculture last week, with plans to renovate the existing houses on the estate. It is seen as a second serious effort within weeks by the Department to go ahead with its plans to uplift the Sapekoe estate into a viable asset and a job creating venture. Two weeks ago approximately 400 people were employed by the Greater Tzaneen Economic Development Agency (Gteda) to clear the tea plantation for the planned extract project, approved by the Limpopo government.
However, local tenants of houses on the premises are concerned that they might be evicted in the process to make way for some of the newly employed staff. The contingent visited the house of Mr Gideon Breedt, one of three tenants who signed a ten year contract with the Makgoba Trust to occupy the dwelling. They found his home in excellent condition. He spent more than R470 000 from his own pocket over the past year to make it inhabitable. They did not mention any eviction plans, but he was informed by a reliable source that it was on the cards. Two other tenants, Messrs Sakkie Meyer and Joop Steenkamp (who runs the Sapekoe Tea Garden), will also be affected.
Nomination deadline in one week! Send in your nominations and reward good service
Breedt runs a firewood concern and employs at least 33 workers from the Middelkop compound on a full time basis. He says he will only resettle elsewhere if he is compensated for the expenditure incurred. In the meantime the tenants are without running water since November. A pump was stolen on the pipeline supplying the water, but the Makgoba Trust refuses to replace it. The tenants are obliged to fetch water in huge tanks from the Fire Station in Tzaneen, at a cost of at least R16 000 per month. They prepare to go to court if they do not get amply compensated if eviction becomes reality.

Beware the Ides of March Vlieg praat met die volk, en krap waar dit jeuk! Vlieg is darem nou al papnat gesweet, hyg na sy asem en al wat ‘n spier is kramp, nadat hy die laaste tyd so baie oor sport geskryf het. Terloops, van spiere gepraat, Vlieg help graag die jong biologie-juffrou reg wat die kinders so verkeerd leer. Hy het nie ‘n spier in nie, en ook nie ‘n been nie, maar dit het sy seker geweet! In elk geval, terug na die sport. Vlieg is elke jaar tydens hierdie week opnuut teleurgesteld dat so ‘n groot gebeurtenis in die geskiedenis van wêreldsport so ongevierd verbygaan. Vlieg meen dat 15 Maart eintlik ‘n internasionale vakansiedag behoort te wees. Dit is die dag wat die grootste sport wat deur die meeste mense beoefen word, tot stand gekom het. Dié sport kan deur enigiemand op enige
plek beoefen word. Geen spesiale toerusting, snaakse broekies, neonkleurige skoene of selfs haarinplantings word benodig nie. Groot, vet, klein, maer, mooi, lelik… almal kan dit doen. Met of sonder groot spiere. Nee juffrou, “size doesn’t matter”. Veral politici en sakemanne blink uit hierin, vra maar vir oom Thabo, Trevor Automatic en dies meer. Vlieg het self onlangs deurgeloop onder een van sy takhaarvriende! Vlieg praat natuurlik van ons eie nasionale sport van rugsteek! Dit kan maklik ook tweekamp, driekamp of meerkamp word. Voeg net by gesigvat, besteel, begeer… Vlieg kom al hoe meer agter hoe ou Ceasar moes gevoel het. Et tu Brute!
Watch the largest Moon rise Join the Soutpansberg Astronomy Club tomorrow (19 March) on the “roof-top” at Mountain Inn Hotel outside Louis Trichardt to watch this year’s largest Moon rise above the eastern horison, followed by the planet Saturn 25 minutes later. A short presentation on our closest neighbour in space and basic lunar photography will also be given. This will be followed by telescope views of the Moon with some “hands on” lunar photography. Proceedings will start at 17:30 sharp and don’t forget to bring your camera, binoculars and tripod. A lunar quiz will be held during the course of the evening and three lucky winners will each walk away with a
GalileoScope, kindly donated by the SA Astronomical Observatory (SAAO).
Three Galileo Scopes to be won The Galileoscope is a 2-inch refractor with 25 and 50 times magnification. The four Galilean moons, lunar craters, phases of Venus and even the rings of Saturn can be seen. The smallest Full Moon in 2011 will be the Full Moon in October, when we will be able to compare the two images.
Another event the Club has lined up is a visit by Tim Cooper, the director of the Comet, Asteroid and Meteor Section of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa (ASSA). He will be conducting a workshop in the region on all aspects of observing (not just comets and meteors) which will be held in May or June. Anyone with an interest in astronomy is welcome to attend the workshop and observers who are serious about contributing something scientific to astronomy must not miss this one! If you are interested in attending the workshop, contact Kos Coronaios on 079 148 4934 or 015 516 3110 or by email at elephantcastle@lantic.net

The lady behind the Mile
Sue Ettmayr Twenty-one years ago the Mountain Yacht Club (MYC) committee members at Ebenezer Dam were contemplating ways to make ends meet. The MYC went through financial ups and downs. As a member of the MYC committee Ms Fiona Stumbles (now 70) suggested starting a Mile similar to the Midmar Mile. The Commodore at the time, ‘Bun’ Noel of Ofcalaco, ran with the idea and the Ebenezer Mile was born. “Stevens Lumber Mills was the first sponsor and then a few more came on board. My late husband, Mike Stumbles, a surveyor, measured out the buoys for many years thereafter. “I’ve always been involved in the MYC, as my parents were founder members and I’ve been a member for fifty years. I’ve swum eleven out of the first twelve Miles and missed one because of a family wedding. “In those days I trained four or five times a week in the Dam, usually in the evenings. Unless you’re very young, you have to train for this event,” says Fiona.
Mike, who was in the British Royal Navy for twenty years before retiring, came out on exchange to the SA Navy by ship in 1959. He met Fiona’s mother on board, and she invited him to their farm outside Haenertsburg en route to visiting his relatives in then Rhodesia. Less than a year later Fiona and Mike were married and she then travelled extensively with him. While he was out at sea, Fiona stayed on land and lived in the Pacific, Singapore, Suva in Fiji and Auckland in New Zealand. Their eldest son was conceived in NZ and born in the UK. He now lives in NZ. Their second son, Bruce, was born in Ireland. The couple went on to have another four daughters and bought their own farm three kilometers from her parents. Bruce has been running the farm for the past fifteen years and Fiona still swims and rides. She’s retired one of her three horses, but still rides the other two. “Rotary offered to take over the Ebenezer Mile a few years ago, and have done a good job as it’s grown from seventy to five hundred swimmers,” says Fiona.
GTM wins national award The Greater Tzaneen Municipality has been awarded the Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) Kamoso Award for the best local municipality in the category “environ-
ment and culture”. The award was handed over by Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde at Silverstar Casino in Muldersdrift. The Kamoso
Awards recognizes excellence in the implementation of EPWP sectors namely, environment and culture, social, infrastructure and the non-state sector. EPWP has created over two million job opportunities across the country since its inception in 2004. One of the objectives of EPWP is create to employment and reduce poverty. The GTM beat other local municipalities in its implementation of EPWP projects in the environmental and cultural sector. These projects included litter picking and domestic waste collection projects across the GTM’s area. The projects have created a combined 179 labour intensive jobs. Evaluations were done looking at labour intensity, duration of work and budget against expenditure. “The GTM feels humbled by this recognition and thanks the waste management team. This award indeed proves that the GTM is home to the cleanest town and greenest town Tzaneen mayor OJ Mushwana and acting municipal manager Conny Mametja are seen here awards,” said mayor with the Kamoso award.

The Limpopo police have deployed 47 graduates to the province’s ports of entry. These dedicated young constables will increase police visibility at the borders, ensure safe movement of immigrants and fight the scourge of corruption at the borders. When addressing the constables before they

Registrateur se plan boemerang sleg Die Registrateur van Maatskappye se reëling dat BK’s geherregistreer moet word, het tot “onbedoelde gevolge” gelei. Verskeie ondernemings, en veral boere wat op advies van arbeidskonsultante hul arbeid in BK’s aangestel en daaruit betaal het, het die proses gebruik om van oortollige en ongewensde arbeiders en vakbonde ontslae te raak. Nadat die Registrateur besluit het om drasties op te tree en aan verskeie ondernemings, ook in die Laeveld, kennis gegee het dat
hulle BK’s geskrap is, het tientalle arbeiders afdankingspakkette ontvang “omdat die owerhede ons toegemaak het”. Ondernemings kan ‘n boete betaal om die BK’s aktief te hou (soos wanneer daar bates of opgehoopte verliese in ‘n BK is), maar die boete is veel hoër as die koste om ‘n nuwe BK te skep. Wetgewing maak die lede van gederegistreerde BK’s vir skulde aanspreeklik, maar nie vir die instandhouding van werkgeleenthede nie.

Sagte kollekte gaan opgeneem word en CD’s sal na die vertoning in die saal beskikbaar wees. Skakel Elsa by die kerkkantoor by 015 307 4062 vir navrae.
Dié plaaswerkers het spontaan besluit hulle kan nie langer die gevaar vir motoriste so aanskou nie en het op die Georges Valley-pad (naby mnr Fritz Sonntag se saagmeul) ingespring en met emmers grond aangedra om die verskriklike slaggate op te vul. Hulle het staatgemaak op donasies van verbygaande motoriste, maar dié was min. Hulle het nietemin aangegaan en al die gate opgevul.

R90 million wasted by Education The Democratic Alliance is deeply concerned about yet another scandalous tender irregularity report to hit the provincial department of education, says Ms Desiree van der Walt, the DA’s leader in Limpopo. A weekend newspaper carried a story about how this department awarded a tender for the supply of schools’ stationery to a company known as Edu-Solutions. This tender was allegedly awarded without the knowledge or recommendations of the adjudication and evaluation committees. To compound the matter for the department, the department could have saved over R90 million, had it sourced this stationery straight from the supplier. The fact that middle man (Edu-Solutions) was used, raising the financial costs of this tender and without the knowledge of the relevant statutory committees, casts very serious suspicions about this whole transaction. The Public Finance Management Act is clear: it provides that the accounting officer (in our case HOD Benny Boshielo) must maintain “an appropriate procurement and provisioning system which is fair, equitable, competitive and cost effective.” It is clear that opting for a cost raising procurement system under very suspect circumstances as was done in this case is a potential violation of the PFMA. “I will be personally going to the offices of the Public Protector to ask it to urgently probe this matter for any violations of the PFMA and other procurement systems. “Millions of Limpopo’s public money have been wasted because of the acute financial mismanagement in this department,” says Van der Walt.

Laeveld gereed vir groot boeredag Boere en handelaars is gerat vir eerskomende Woensdag se Langs die Oever Boeredag naby Letsitele, waar tot 500 besoekers en selfs meer verwag word. Die reëlingskomitee het dié week vir oulaas byeengekom om die afrondingswerk te doen en die vergadering is deur byna veertig mense bygewoon. Dit is die eerste boeredag in sy soort in die Laeveld, waar handelaars ‘n stuk of vyftig trekkers, etlike werktuie soos ploeë, houtkerwers en ander produkte, vragmotors, bakkies en motors in styl aan boere sal bekend stel. Demonstrasies in grondbewerking, oesbespuiting en meganiese snoei van boorde sal gelewer word, met nagenoeg 46 statiese kraampies wat regstreeks met die landbou te make het. Alle boere van die Laeveld word genooi om die dag gratis by te woon. Met die aankoms sal elke besoeker geregistreer word,
‘n gratis pet ontvang en sy naam op ‘n kaartjie in ‘n houer geplaas word vir gelukkige trekkings wat oor die etensuur gehou word. Dit sluit kontantpryse en landbouprodukte in wat beslis nie te versmaai is nie. Die voorsitter, mnr Renier Reynecke, sê die groot motivering was dat dit ‘n lekker kuierdag tussen boere en diensleweraars moet wees. Dit lyk egter of daar tog ‘n klompie surplusgeld gaan oorbly en dit sal pro rata verdeel word onder die boereverenigings teenwoordig om dit vir verdienstelike sake soos plaasveiligheid in te span. Die verrigtinge begin om 09:00 die oggend op die plaas Montrose van mnr Kallie Erasmus. ‘n Spesiale terrein is langs die Groter Letabarivier aangelê, met ruim parkeerplek, ‘n biertuin, baie eetgoed en ‘n seremoniemeester wat sal sorg dat die tradisionele “boerepaartie” tot laatnag gevier sal word.

Belangeloosheid Die gebrekkige dienslewering van plaaslike regerings, veral as dit jou tuisdorp s’n is, is steeds een van die gewildste vleisbraaigesprekke. So is dit beslis ook in Tzaneen, waar die onderwerp heelwat wyer as vleisbraaivure aan die orde gestel word. Kom die geleentheid vir belastingbetalers om hulle van die feite te vergewis en in gesprek met stadsraadslede en amptenare te tree, is hul oë klaarblyklik so tranerig van al die vleisbraavure se rook dat hulle nie ‘n tree kan versit nie. Dinsdagaand was dit weer so in Tzaneen. Wyk 15 se inwoners het die geleentheid gekry om hul stadsraadslid (en ander) en ‘n senior amptenaar wat met die dorp se finansies werk, te ontmoet en met vrae te peper... maar toe daag daar elf mense op! Tzaneen se inwoners moenie kla nie. Hulle moenie die vinger na die GTM wys nie. Hulle moet nie kritiseer nie. Hulle moet nie verwyt nie. Behalwe hulselwers. Die traak-my-nieagtigheid van Tzaneen se inwoners is verstommend. Is dit omdat die gemeenskap nog so welvarend is? Pogings om ‘n belastingbetalersvereniging op die been te bring en op die been te hou, het nou al ‘n paar keer misluk. Dit is al vermom as ‘n vereniging vir kommersiële grondeienaars, dit is al ‘n forum genoem, daar word kort-kort gedreig om weer lewe in die afgestorwe strukture te blaas, maar hiervan kom niks nie. Oor die sakeklub wil mens liewer niks sê nie. So af en toe is daar ‘n bietjie vertoon, soos die uitstappie na die rivieroewer en die groot aankondigings waarvan vere gekom het. Verder word daar lekker geëet en gekuier (met verskillende betekenisse wat aan kuier geheg kan word). Op die kortbroek-politici in die raad kan min staat gemaak word. So af en toe sal iemand probeer om ‘n paar los politieke punte aan te teken — en verder sien mens bra min aksie vir die satisfaksie van ‘n handige maandelikse inkomste. Terwyl Tzaneen se mense sluimer en slaap, gaan die dorp se infrastruktuur tot niet, word onvergeeflike onregte gepleeg, staan die korrupsie geil in die blom en word goedkeurend gekyk hoe Gods water oor Gods akker vloei. Totdat daar geen keer meer is nie!
Rev Ron J Reiners (083 617 8442) During my studies of Theology I had to study different religions and how they related to the Christian faith. in some of these religions people worship idols and others worship God through symbolic icons. This got me thinking, if we as Christians are not guilty of doing something similar, perhaps it is in our actions that it might seem similar. Some Christians tend to put God on a pedestal and worship Him as if He is some sort of idol, perhaps forgetting about Him for most part of the week and then taking Him down and dusting Him off before they go to church. The God I serve is very involved in my daily life and this is how it should be with each of us. He has given us the right to speak to Him directly. So we do not have to wait until Sunday or when we go to church, we can talk to Him at anytime. My God is a Father to me, correcting me when I go off at a tangent, bringing me back to Him gently. Never have I experienced the wrath that some preachers warn us of “If you sin God will punish you, all kinds of evil will befall you, yes, even death.” I know that if I repent and ask for for-
giveness God will always forgive me and the good news is He never holds this against me. This is, if I truly try not to sin again, or repeat the same mistake. I know for a fact that I am able to talk to Him at anytime, anywhere, all the time. This is the true God, the Fatherly figure, who cares for each and everyone of us. A song comes to my mind when I think about relationships with God. I do not who wrote it and when, I was told it was written by one who was once an atheist. Some of the lyrics go like this: “So He created humanity, Who is He to me?” Till I met Him face to face one day and felt the wonder of His grace. Now He walks beside me day by day ever watching lest I stray, helping me to find the narrow way. He is everything to me.” So let us not put God on a pedestal and take Him down only on Sundays, let Him be part of you all the time. God Bless
Tongknopers Miljoen, miljard en biljoen: Ai, ons mense kan net nie die verskil tussen miljard en biljoen regkry nie. Miljoen is nie ‘n pro-bleem nie en ons weet (hopelik) almal hoeveel ‘n miljoen is. Miljard is duisend miljoen en ‘n biljoen is miljoen miljoen. In Suid-Afrika se ekonomie is biljoen eintlik iets wat ons nie ken nie; die ekonomie is te klein. Tog word dit byna daagliks misbruik as miljard bedoel word. Inhegtenisneming: Iemand word in hegtenis (twee woorde) geneem (eerder as die anglisistiese gearresteer). Maar ons skryf sedert sy inhegtenisneming (een woord en nie inhegtenisname nie). Dit is so jammer dat baie van ons koerante (selfs die trotse dagblaaie) so struikel hiermee en baie ander taalgoggas wat eintlik nie eens goggas is nie. Dit is maar net die gevolg van mense wat te lui is om ordentlike Afrikaans te skryf. Ronde is ‘n fase of afdeling in ‘n opeenvolgende reeks, byvoorbeeld in boks. Rondte slaan op ‘n roete waarop beweeg word en wat weer by die beginpunt eindig, byvoorbeeld in atletiek of motorwedrenne of gholf. Of ek draai in die rondte (eindig waar ek begin het).
Die mense hoor Let wel: hulle sê nie so nie! • Dit is darem nie lekker nie as ‘n pa sy seun so “klap” dat hy gelap by die skool aanmeld. Die knaap het byna sjirurgie benodig. Maar die mense hoor dit sou nie ‘n probleem gewees het nie, want pa is glo ewe handig met al die snaakse instrumente wat in ‘n teater gebruik word... • Sommige ouens raak nou so gemaklik met die lewe dat hulle nie ‘n naelknipper gebruik nie. Gaan sit ewe lekker agteroor vir ‘n manikuur en ‘n pedikuur en blaas die fluitjie as iets nie reg gedoen word nie. Die mense sê hulle weet nie of mens vir soiets ‘n strafskop kan toeken en of daar kaarte (geel of rooi) gewys kan word as die werk nie na behore gedoen is nie... • Die storie oor die roker wat so kerse gespoeg in plaas van geblaas het, het ‘n nuwe kinkel. Die mense hoor sy kliënte (is dit wat mens hul noem?) is nou bang om hom te besoek. Netnou spoeg hy iemand om... • Die glibberigste Toyota Prado in die land kom van Letsitele af. Die mense wil nog kyk, dan’s hy woerts om ‘n hoek hier en ‘n draai daar... • Die groot storie se aanloop het begin toe daar gespook is teen die beoogde naamsverandering van Tzaneen. Die mense het nie toe besef dat daar wel ‘n naamsverandering kan kom nie. Nie van die dorp se naam nie, hoor... • Manne wat in plantasies werk dink verniet hulle ken al die “veilige” afdraaipaadjies tussen die bome. Groot Willem loer vir julle. Maar dit is nie net Groot Willem wat loer nie. Daar is ander ook wat loer en wel iets kry om oor te skinder...
Die reënseisoen is nog nie verby nie; die paaie kan steeds glad wees Verskeie ongelukke is die afgelope week op paaie in en om Tzaneen aangemeld. In van die gevalle het voertuie op die nat pad gegly. Motoriste moet bedag wees daarop dat die paaie baie stof en olie vergaar en as dit reën, word die stof modder en moet dit eers afgewas word. Die olie neem ook tyd om af te spoel en dit gebeur eers na harde en deurdringende reën.

In 1994 is Gwenivere se pa, Samual Lyon, skielik aan ‘n hartaanval oorlede, minder as ‘n jaar nadat Hans Hopf ook weens ‘n swak hart in 1993 ter gronde bestel is. Geheuefoto 4 – Sterre & Strepe Wat as ‘n kort vakansie in Rhode Island, Amerika, begin het, word ‘n permanente adres in die twaalfjarige Jessica se slingerlewe. “My ma het na my oupa se afsterwe besluit om tydens die somervakansie ouma Patricia te versorg en ons is net nooit weer terug Europa toe nie.” Na ‘n jaar in die land van kitskos en klaterkultuur is Jessica tuis in haar Amerikaanse vel en blink sy uit as atleet. ‘n Vol beurs na die uitsoek-skool in Massachusetts — North Field Mount Herman — maak van die ereinstansie nog ‘n permanente adres in haar grootwordjare. Geheuefoto 5 — Amper groot met groot drome Negentien, en die wêreld ‘n oester in haar hand, het Jessica Hopf net een droom. Brasilië toe. “Ek het vyf werke gehad om my te help om geld bymekaar te maak vir my vliegtuigkaartjie na Brasilië. Ek wou weeskinders oppas in Suid-Amerika en net ‘n boeke-pouse neem, voordat ek universiteit toe gaan”, sê Jessica. Maar haar somme wou net nie klop nie, en moedeloosheid dwing haar om haar pa, nou ‘n gesiene skoenwinkeleienaar en die verteenwoordiger van Paul Green-skoene in Switzerland, te bel om geld by hom te leen. Met haar hart in haar keel skakel sy die nommer… Geheuefoto 6 — ‘n bietjie later oor die water Terug in Zürich onthaal Gunner sy goeie vriend Raphael en dié se buitelandse vriende Sara en Davit toe die foon lui. Pa en dogter wissel ‘n paar woorde en dan gee Gunner die foon vir Davit. “Vertel haar van Suid-Afrika,” sê hy en gee hy die foon vir die vreemdeling wat vanaand vir die eerste keer oor sy huis se drumpel getrap het ( en ‘n jaar later word die vreemdeling sy dogter se skoonpa). Dis 2004 en Jessica ontmoet Davit, Sara en Gud — haar aanstaande man — op die plaas Alôn in Limpopo en word sy meegevoer met die organiese gemeenskapsleefstyl van Alôn. Sy het haar ma belowe dat sy net vir ses maande Suid-Afrika toe sou kom. “Ek het aansoek gedoen vir ‘n sokker-beurs wat my in

Oor ‘n koppie koffie (Rooibos Cappuccino, om presies te wees) wou ek die persoon agter die prag-stem neerpen — maar Jessica se storie was toe veel meer as ‘n mooi liedjie en haar noot-hou vermoë. Met Duitse wortels wat stewig geanker in die Europese Operawereld is, het sy my eerstens voorgestel aan die Hopf-familie … Geheuefoto 1 – Oupa Hans (of soos hy amptelik op die 19,276 webwerwe op Google bekend is as Hans Hopf, die internasionaal erkende bariton). Dit is 22:30 en die hoipolloi glimlag breed vir mekaar met konjak en komplimente in die foyer van die Berlynse Operahuis. Oomblikke gelede het die kristalglase vibreer onder die luide baritonstem wat selfs die gerugte van ‘n Tweede Wêreldoorlog verdoof het. Elke adellike herr, frau en fraulein is vir nou eers toegewikkel in pelsjasse en pêrels, satynserpe en skyngeluk. In sy aantrekkamer sit ‘n man breëbors, nie van hoogmoed nie, maar omdat natuur dit so gewil het. Daardie dae ses voet en vier duim (in vandag se taal 1,9 meter) en tevrede, het Hans Hopf rede om trots te wees. Hy het sy pad oopgesing na uitnemendheid. Maar vanaand gaan hy nie skouerskuur met SS-soldate en ander hoëlui van die uitsoekgemeenskap nie. Hy druk die donssagte serp wat sy stembande moet warm hou stywer vas, wanneer die snerpende koue hom verwelkom en sy sole deur sneeu beur – op pad huis toe.
Deur Liezl Wagenaar Geheuefoto 2 – Ilse Hopf Die hoogswanger prima ballerina Ilse Hopf trek Bjorn se kamerdeur halfpad toe, sodat daar steeds ‘n stroom lig by die slapende kleuter se kamer inval. Sy gaan sit op die regop bank langs die vleuelklavier. Dis daar waar Hans haar kry — waar sy droomverlore die belofte in haar buik streel en kan hy nie help om saam met haar woordeloos te wonder oor wat die toekoms vir Hans Gunner Hopf sal inhou nie… Terwyl ons die tweede koppie Rooibos bestel, ontmoet ek vir Gunner Hopf en die meisie wat sy hart steel met haar goue stem… Geheuefoto 3 – Gunner & Gwenivere Gunner, se grootword-jare vlieg verby totdat tyd en alles daarmee saam tot stilstand geruk word. Op die verhoog sing ‘n meisie en meteens, soos meen’ge helde en heldinne in romantiese verhale net weet, verbind twee siele sonder dat ‘n woord ge-uiter is. Gwenivere het die verhoog na haar sang-items verlaat. Gunner het vir haar gewag, en ‘n jaar later het Gwenivere verwag. Die Hopf-familie sowel as die gesiene Lyonfamilie het onmiddellik besluit die twee jeugdiges moet trou, voordat die skindertonge die buite-egtelike swangerskap beswadder. Vyf jaar en vier kleuters later pak Gunner & Gwenivere hul Duitse wortels in ‘n koffer tussen die laslapklere en geleende speelgoed. Gunner het werk gekry in ‘n skoenwinkel en met ‘n groot gesinwas Zürich ‘n wortel van finansiele uitkomste wat München nie was nie. Die laaste foto in Gunner en Gwenivere se storie is een van afskeid… swaarkry eis sy tol

staat sou stel om universiteit toe te gaan. Ek wou graag antropologie en fotografie studeer…” Sonder waarskuwing word ure, weke en maande net herinnerings en die datum op die kaartjie terug Rhode Island toe ‘n werklikheid. Die universiteit het laat weet sy het die beurs gekry en bevind Jessica haar by ‘n kruispad. Dit was vir haar een van daardie oomblikke waar jou oortuigings jou oordeel oorwin, en sy ruil basketbal vir biltong en ‘n beurs vir berglug. 2005 en Jessica, pas getroud en opgewonde oor die moontlikhede wat elke nuwe dag aan haar bied, begin saam met paar ander vriende op Alôn ‘n musiekgroep: die Mosaïek Ritme Groep. “Ek het nog altyd gehou van sing, en wanneer ek sing was dit asof mense hul koppe so half skuins draai en dink… hmm ‘nie te sleg nie,” skerts Jessica, terwyl sy smul aan Camembert-kaas en ‘n Rooibos Cappuccino in Yum-Yum, Alôn se uitsoek-restaurant. Ons koffie is klaar en ons borde is leeg, my papiere is vol van die vergeelde geheuefoto’s van die tye-wat-was-wat-ons-maak-wie-onsis, en daar is maar min woorde oor singende Jessica... Sy skud egter haar kop en sê filosofies “musiek is meer as net note en klank op ‘n verhoog; dis alles in jou, om jou en van jou… hoe jy luister en wat jy sien, word ‘n lied…”. Die jaarlikse kabaret-produksies van die Mosaïek Restaurant is ‘n hoogtepunt op Jessica se kalender. “Dis dan, wanneer ek met die mikrofoon in die hand staan, dat ek weet my wortels is reg. Oupa Hans het dit geweet, of hy nou in Oslo, Berlyn of München was, net soos ek dit weet hier waar ek is. As musiek in jou bloed is, kan jou bene myle oor die aardbol tree, maar die note sal hulself laat hoor. Want hoe anders word note ‘n simfonie…”

Celebrate the wildness of wild animals
The National SPCA Wildlife Unit launched its Celebrate the Wildness of Wild Animals Campaign encouraging people not to support circuses which have wild animal acts. Wild animals should not be subjected to the conditions of circus life which involve regular transport, cramped and bare temporary housing, forced training and performance, loud noises and crowds of people. The SPCA does not believe that performing inappropriate tricks in the name of entertainment fosters respect for wild animals. The public is invited to visit their website at www.nspca.co.za and join the many celebrities and individuals who have joined forces with them and signed the pledge Not to support wild animal acts in circuses.

Marvellous Maids — skitter-opleiding vir huishulpe Vir ‘n besige sakevrou is daar niks beter nie as ‘n betroubare, handige huishulp wat die noodsaaklike take in die huis kan “bestuur”. Baie dames het wonderlike huishulpe, maar hulle is nie geskool in westerse- (of boere-) kookkuns nie. Marvellous Maids in Tzaneen bied die oplossing hiervoor: ‘n kursus van een voldag per week vir vier weke. Huishulpe word ‘n verskeidenheid nuwe vaardighede geleer, soos hoe om heerlike en voedsame
gesinsetes voor te berei. Nie meer as sewe persone word per kursus toegelaat nie, om individuele aandag te verseker. Die kursus bied persoonlike en kombuishigiëne, algemene veiligheid in die kombuis en kosveiligheid, asook kookmetodes. Die kursus is veral geskik vir huishulpe wat nie oor leesvaardighede beskik nie, aangesien al die resepte wat geleer word, in prentjievorm is. Deelnemers ontvang ‘n sertifikaat na afloop van die kursus, asook van die toerusting wat
Me Hart is hier saam met ‘n span kursusgangers: mee Maisie Nthoke and Nancy Makwala staan voor en agter is
hul in die loop van die kursus leer gebruik het, soos maatbekers en maatlepels. Marvellous Maids is dus ‘n ideale manier vir huishulpe om nuwe vaardighede aan te leer en meer selfvertroue in die kombuis te ontwikkel. Belangstellendes kan

Hupstoot vir agri
Die Agri-Merensky-loodskomitee het onlangs vergader om die pad vorentoe vir Landbou-onderrig by Merensky te bespreek. Die landboubedryf in die Tzaneen-omgewing is baie opgewonde oor die skool se planne vir die agriwetenskappe. Die loodskomitee sal in samewwerking met die skool se bestuur nuwe rigting bied vir die akademiese en praktiese onderrig van die leerlinge wat vakke in die agriwetenskappe neem. Beroepsgerigte onderwys vir leerlinge in die agri-wetenskappe vorm nou ‘n belangrike komponent van die skool se leerplan. Agri-Merensky sal voortaan as oorkoepelende liggaam dien, waar leerlinge by die skool die geleentheid sal kry om nie net van die agri-wetenskappe te leer nie, maar ook hul liefde vir landbou uit te oefen en te lewe. Voor sit mnre Magnus Steyn (hoof), Dries Enslin (AgriLetaba), Theuns Botha (beheerliggaam), Lucas McLean (Westfalia) en Philé van Zyl (ZZ2). Agter staan mnre Henry Prinsloo (Megro Lowveld), Willie Stevens (Merensky), Andre Ernst (Allesbeste), Botha Maree (Merensky Timber), Duncan Smith (Westfalia), Kosie Eloff (beheerliggaam), Ockert le Roux (Merensky) en Henk van Zyl (ZZ2). Mnre Paul Gubitz (Gubbitz Boerdery) en Johan van der Heever (Laeveld Boerdery Trust) was afwesig toe die foto geneem is.

Junior yachtsmen claim victory Three pupils from Unicorn Preparatory School in Tzaneen, David Morris, Tim Elphinstone and Kieran Bremner, and 2 from Merensky, Doug Elphinstone and Kyle Smith, competed in the Northvaal Interschools Sailing Regatta at Victoria Lake in Germiston over the weekend. Once again Gauteng has had to wave goodbye to the Junior School division trophy, as the boys from Tzaneen brought it home. The Unicorn team, each competing in a different class of yacht, performed consistently, with David coming in second overall, Tim fifth and Kieran tenth, but also because they had
a full team of three. Kieran also received the trophy for winning the O’9-er class, sailing the yacht donated to the Mountain Yacht Club youth programme by the Rotary Club of Haenertsburg. Tim was also sailing a yacht recently donated by Rotary. Doug and Kyle, sailing a borrowed Enterprize, facing very stiff competition in the High School section, came in 25th in a very big fleet of competitors. The boys and parents had a very enjoyable and busy weekend, and would like to thank Unicorn, Sue Elphinstone for T-shirts and caps, and Haenertsburg Rotary for the yachts.
The yachtsmen from Merensky and Unicorn are Kyle Smith, Doug Elphinstone, Kieran Bremner, David Morris and Timothy Elphinstone.
Atherstone chosen for SA team Tzaneen’s own Christopher Atherstone played a major role in the Limpopo Impalas cricket team’s performance when they scored three victories from five matches in the Rural Cricket SA week in Nelspruit recently. In their first match the Impalas defeated Border Village by nine wickets before losing to Border Aloes by ten runs in their second fixture. The defeat was followed by two comfortable victories against EP Midlands by ten wickets and Boland West by six wickets. The two wins were ended by a 30 run defeat against EP Grahamstown in their last fixture of the competition. Christopher Atherstone, the Impalas’ opening bowler, was in devastating form during the tournament, to end up as the best amongst the bowlers with 18 wickets in the five matches. Atherstone’s best bowling achievements were against Border Village,
when he claimed six wickets for fifteen runs in ten overs. Atherstone along with fellow Impala Steven Mallula were rewarded for their outstanding batting and bowling feats by being selected for the RCSA team. In addition, Impalas coach Mandla Mashambyi was chosen as the coach of the RCSA side.
Atherstone celebrates another wicket.

SLC takes on great trek The gr 9 students of Stanford Lake College successfully completed their trek last week. From Friday 4 March until Thursday 10 March all the gr 9 students took part in a week of trekking, camping and rafting. The expedition had a historical slant as each student followed in the footsteps of Louis Trichardt and his men as they traversed the Northern Drakensburg. They enjoyed beautiful weather and as a result profited from some spectacular views, in particular from Christmas Plateau which was the first camp site. Seven staff members also took part in the trek, most of whom have vast experience in trekking in this area which led to a knowledgeable and effective guiding system. The students coped

The second half of their voyage took them to the Olifants river where they swapped rucksacks for rafts, hiking boots for swimming costumes, and set off on a journey downstream through rapids and the spectacular Olifants gorge. The spirit of adventure remained for the duration of the expedition in which all had the opportunity to discover and explore a beautiful wilderness area, whilst also learning valuable personal and team skills. Their next expedition awaits for them in September when they will explore Soutpansberg and learn solo navigation skills.

This week’s fitness tip Ettienne van Wyngaardt (Fitness specialist)
What is stress? There’s a saying that goes “There are three kinds of businesses: God’s business — things that happen in this world that are out of my control; their business — the choices other people make based on their life experiences so far; and my business — the choices I make that shape my life. If I focus on what I have to do to make my life the best it can be and NOT focus on everyone else’s business, then I will have less stress, which in turn will give me the ENERGY to live the life I’ve always wanted.
Don’t waste your time on gossip, ridicule, envy, self-pity, anger, guilt, arrogance, need, impatience, regret, manipulation, jealousy, fear, worry and anxiety, because they’ll zap your ENERGY and cause you to stress! Choose understanding, truth, clarity, patience, devotion, gratitude, vulnerability, acceptance, wisdom, hope, forgiveness, empathy, discipline, perseverance, community, and peace. Because if you do, you will gladly kiss stress goodbye and say hello to all the ENERGY you’ll need to keep your body fit and healthy.

• Merensky knap hul netbalbane op en bied
Wêreldstandaard in ons agterPlaas Blou, Blouer, Plasies! Wilrien Annandale en Smiley Shivambu, twee netbalsterre van die Hoërskool Merensky, was Saterdag twee van die Plasies se netbalmeisies wat aangenaam verras is deur die nuwe netbalbane. Hulle het Saterdag aan mnr Francois de Lange, die geboue- en terreinbestuurder, ‘n blykie van waardering oorhandig vir die pragtige blou netbalbane wat hy en sy span werkers opgeknap het. Dit was ’n plesier om Saterdag die netbalbane te aanskou en die meisies het met opgewondenheid gespeel. Die Plasies het in die tweede ronde van die Pukreeks teen die Hoërskool Standerton meegeding en slegs die o.14B- en o.16B-spanne het die knie teen Standerton gebuig. Twee spanne, die o.17A’s en o.15A’s, is nog onoorwonne in die Pukreeks. Die Plasies wil ook graag mnr Barry Zaayman van Dulux Paint Centre bedank vir al die hulp met die verf. Op die hokkieveld was sake baie spannend. Standerton was net te sterk vir die Plasies, maar het hulle teen ’n oorgehaalde o.15-span van Merensky vasgeloop. Die Plasies het die kragmeting met 4-0 gewen. Die ander Plasie-spanne kon Standerton net nie klop nie. Op die rugbyveld het die Plasies meer welslae behaal. Die o.14B’s en die o.16B’s het hul kragmetings met 32-17 en 19-0 gewen, terwyl die derde span met 24-0 geseëvier het. Die o16A’s het ’n taai stryd gevoer en die Plasie-ondersteuners op die punte van hul stoele gehad. Hulle het met 8-7 gewen. Die eerste span se kragmeting was ewe taai, maar hulle kon die knoop nie deurhak nie. Hulle het met 14-8 verloor.
Die opgeknapde netbalbane is die Plasies se nuwe trots. ONDER is Smiley Shivambu en Wilrien Annandale by mnr Francois de Lange, wat verantwoordelik was vir die nuwe voorkoms van Merensky se netbalbane.
Vossies stoomroller voort in PUK Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het Saterdag in die tweede ronde van die Pukreeks weer eens hul stempel afgedruk, toe hulle met Oos-Moot van Pretoria afgereken het. In die netbal het die Vossies agt van die tien kragmetings gewen. Die o.14A’s en B’s het met 15-8 en 17-10 geseëvier, terwyl die o.15A’s en B’s met 23-3 en 15-8 gewen het. Die o.16’s het die wind van voor gekry. Die A- en B-span het met 19-8 en 19-14 verloor. Die o.17A’s en B’s het met 30-9 en 19-11 gewen. Die o.19’s was weer op volle sterkte nadat van hul spelers tydens die eerste ronde aan atletiek deelgeneem het. Die B-span het met 11-8 gewen en die A-span het met 28-21 geseëvier. Op die hokkieveld het die Vossies nog beter gevaar deurdat hulle sewe van die agt kragmetings gewen het en een gelykop gespeel het. Die o14A’s en B’s het OosMoot met 3-0 en 7-0 oorrompel, terwyl die o.15A’s en B’s met 5-0 en 3-0 geseëvier het. Die o.16A’s het met 1-1 gelykop gespeel, maar die B-span het met 1-0 gewen. Die tweede span het met 1-0 gewen en die eerste span met 3-2. Die Vossies het Saterdag die meeste welslae op die rugbyveld behaal. Die o.14A’s het die swaarste gekry en het ’n taai stryd met 15-7 gewen. Die B-span het met 29-7 gewen. Die o.15A’s en B’s het die Oosies gestoomroller en met 64-0 en 74-0 geseëvier, terwyl die o.16A’s en B’s met 36-0 en 29-5 gewen het. Die derde span het met 32-13 gewen en die tweede span met 38-7. In die hoofwedstryd het die eerste span, soos in hul eerste ronde-kragmeting teen Frikkie Meyer, stadig begin. Met die telling op 3-3 het die Vossies
teëspoed gekry, toe hul kaptein en agsteman Roy-Ramon Auret ’n stamp teen die kop gekry het en die veld moes verlaat. Tovhi Nefale het die eerste drie gaan druk, maar die Oosies het binne trefafstand met ’n drie van hul eie gebly. Die rustydtelling was 11-10 in die Vossies se guns. In die tweede helfte het die Vossies die oorhand gekry en Viljoen Dreyer, Lyvette Shikwambana en weer Tovhi Nefale het gaan druk. Oos-Moot het egter met ’n laaste poging vorendag gekom en nog ’n drie gaan druk. Losskakel Marcel Scholtz het met twee doelskoppe en twee strafdoele geslaag. Die eindtelling was 30-20 vir die Vossies. Kefentse Mahlo op skrumskakel was die Vossies se sterspeler. Hy het die spel goed van agter die skrums bestuur en het verskeie breekslae begin. Die slot Lyvette Shikwambana het ook ’n uithalervertoning gelewer, terwyl die loskopstut Jan-Hendrik Truter van krag tot krag in sy nuwe posisie gaan. Ben Vorster vertrek vandag Sasolburg toe om môre die derde ronde van die Pukreeks aan te pak.
