Agatha, 5) Ms Anza van Vuuren, 6) Mr Pierre Cronje and 7) Mr Hendrik (Rikus) Roets. Cronje, who defected from the ACDP, is also the DA’s number one candidate for the Mopani District Municipality. At present Mr Stanley Letsoalo is the DA’s councillor in the MDM and he is now the number two candidate, with Mr Richard Shivambu as number three. The candidates for the Greater Letaba Municipality (Modjadjiskloof) are: 1) Mr Mattie Willemse, 2) Mr Daniel Motswi (a councillor), 3) Mr Carlton Mopai and 4) Ms Jane Saina. When asked about the shocks and surprises and the fact that the DA could lose out as far as continuity, experience and knowledge of local government go, Ms Desiree van der Walt, the party’s leader in Limpopo, said a long and difficult process had been followed to find the best possible candidates. “We first received the nominations of these people, then the electoral college interviewed them in groups, thereafter a special selection committee interviewed the individuals, followed by the provincial executive who had to approve of the lists and finally the national executive gave the nod. “We looked at a number of things, like merit, demographics, diversity etcetera. We are committed to properly train the candidates who are elected, we will monitor them on an ongoing basis en non-achievers will be replaced,” Van der Walt said.

Belastingbetalers van Tzaneen kom nou in opstand oor die meer as R17 miljoen wat die GTM bestee aan ‘n vliegveld aan die dorp se suidwestekant, langs die afrit na Modjadjiskloof. Op die foto is swaar vragmotors besig om materiaal aan te ry vir die opvulling en verlenging van ‘n ou grondaanloopbaan op mnr Johan Schoeman se plaas. Die projek sal glo uiteindelik meer as R33 miljoen kos, wanneer landingsligte, ‘n beheertoring, ‘n vertrek-/ontvangslokaal en ander geriewe (kafeteria, kombuis en kantore) gebou is. Die verduideliking is dat die vliegveld as uitwyk vir Polokwane se internasionale lughawe gebruik moet kan word, maar lugvaartkenners meen die berge en weerstoestande by Tzaneen maak dit belaglik om te dink vliegtuie kan hierheen uitwyk. Mense is veral ergerlik omdat die GTM die projek aangepak het, sonder dat dit hoegenaamd met die belastingbetalers bespreek is of in ‘n ope stadsraadsvergadering uitgepluis is. Raadslid Anza van Vuuren van die DA sê sy is geskok oor die geheime ontwikkeling en gaan dit na die Wêreldhof in Den Haag verwys. Vandag is 1 April: Gekkedag! Jammer, hoor…

Francois Aucamp The DA’s candidates in Mopani for the coming municipal elections represent a brand new team, but not all the party’s supporters seem to be happy with this. One “veteran” Tzaneen councillor, Mr Graham McComb, is so disillusioned that he has announced his withdrawal from all party activities. The biggest shock — maybe some people could experience it as a surprise — is that Ms René Pohl is the DA’s number one candidate for Tzaneen. She served as a councillor in Modjadjiskloof and recently moved to Tzaneen. Only Ms Anza van Vuuren of the GTM’s current DA councillors could be back in the council, although it seems to be unlikely. She was sixth on the list, but after McComb’s withdrawal she has moved into the fifth spot. The DA has at present four councillors and the party is not given much of a chance to have more councillors after the elections. Ms Rona McGaffin who has served only a short term as a councillor after a by-election, has decided to rather allocate her time and energy to the Tzaneen Business Club and Stanford Lake College, where she has been appointed as marketing and public relations officer. The following candidates have been nominated for the Greater Tzaneen Municipality: 1) Ms Pohl, 2) Mr Luke Perkings from Haenertsburg, 3) Ms Mavis Sabela from Nkowankowa, 4) Ms Marguerite (Margo) McNeil from

Verstaan jy dit dalk? Vlieg praat met die volk, en krap waar dit jeuk! Vlieg verstaan dat almal nie als van alles kan verstaan nie, hoewel Vlieg ‘n paar ouens ken wat dink hulle doen. Tot onlangs het Vlieg gedink hy verstaan die meeste van die meeste, maar tot sy ontnugtering moes hy onlangs agterkom dat daar twee dinge is waarvan hy niks verstaan nie, naamlik armoede en bankrotskap! Hoewel dié nou nie ‘n taalrubriek is nie, wil Vlieg dit tog duidelik maak dat die twee eintlik weinig met mekaar uit te waai het. Vlieg se definisies van die twee is miskien nou nie heeltemal taalkundig korrek nie, maar daar is maar min taalkundig korrekte definisies wat die gewone ou in elk geval verstaan. Armoede: Die toestand waarin iemand verkeer, as hy dink dat hy niks het nie en dit iemand anders se skuld is. Die klem hier is v.i. op die “dink dat hy niks het nie”. Vlieg sien maar so om hom rond dat die meeste ouens wat armoede pleit eintlik baie meer het as wat hulle dink. Het arm mense selfone? Dra arm mense Uzzihemde? Het arm mense elke dag R20 of meer vir ‘n pakkie sigarette? Kan arm mense dit bekostig om elke Vrydagaand dronk te word? Hoe kan arm mense elke Oujaar en op Guy Fawkes heelnag vuurwerke skiet? Hoe kan arm mense wat wel ‘n werk het, dit nie

doen nie?

Vir Vlieg het armoede nog altyd iets te doen gehad met honger wees en koud kry. Verstaan nou hoekom Vlieg die ding nie so mooi verstaan nie? Bankrotskap: Die toestand waarin iemand verkeer as hy vandag nog steeds alles het wat hy gister gehad het, behalwe die skuld natuurlik — en dit ook iemand anders se skuld is. Vlieg dink dit moet salig wees om so bankrot te wees. Jy het geen “worries” nie, jy los die “worry” vir ander ouens. ‘n Interessante ding van bankrotskap is dat dit geneig is om dieselfde ouens weer en weer oor te kom. Vlieg was nog altyd onder die indruk dat as hy eendag bankrot is, hy maar sy moutjies sal moet oprol en sy vingertjies stompies werk. Dankie tog dat Vlieg dit óók verkeerd verstaan het! Die meer ervare en oplettende leser sou seker die ooreenkoms tussen Vlieg se armoede en bankrotskap opgemerk het. Ja, dit is altyd iemand anders se skuld. Die boekhouer, die prokureur (hmmm), die bestuurder, die regering, die wisselkoers, die misoes, die droogte, die duiwel, witmense en as daar niks anders oorbly waarop die skuld gepak kan word nie, dan is dit apartheid! Verstaan jy?

Kuhestan — a feast of Persian cuisine Jean Aucamp On 21 March the Iranians celebrated their new year. “No-Rooz” in Iranian means “New Day”. It is the new day that starts the year, traditionally the exact astronomical beginning of Spring, the vernal equinox. No-Rooz with its uniquely Iranian characteristics has been celebrated for at least three thousand years and is deeply rooted in the rituals and tradi-

tions of the Zoroastrian, the religion of ancient Persia before the advent of Islam in 700 AD. Kuhestan, a new restaurant in King Edward Drive, Tzaneen (and apparently the only true Iranian restaurant in South Africa) entertained a handful of Iranian guests, some from as far as Durban!, last Sunday evening. Traditional Persian cuisine was served and the new year was met by song and dance.

Kuhestan is run by Brett and Shahrzad Hone, who also own the farm Kuhestan in Magoebaskloof, famous for its avocados and raspberries. They joined hands with chef Honey Soltanmohammadi, who moved from Iran recently, to establish their modest restaurant and to serve traditional Persian dishes. These dishes are not known to South Africans and the cuisine is rather interesting.

Tzaneen electrical capacity up-date in progress The first phase of upgrading the available electrical capacity to Tzaneen CBD and immediate surrounding areas is progressing well. The erection of the pylons that will carry the 4 km twin circuit 66Kv overhead lines around the southern part of Tzaneen will start within days, whilst construction of the 2 x 20 MVA, 66/11Kv substation will start within a month. Although most of these activities are occurring away from the residential areas and thus out of general view of the public, there will, within the next few months be the inevitable digging up of sidewalks as the required 15 km of new 11Kv cables are laid between existing and proposed new substations in the town. “The GTM wishes to apologise for any inconveniences that may be caused during this process and we will also endeavour to keep interruptions to a minimum when it becomes time to connect and energise the new cables,” said Mr Thulani Twala, die GTM’s head of communication and marketing. “Since Council was necessitated in 2007 to stop allowing new or upgraded connections due to the capacity constraints, there has been much speculation and anticipation as to when Council will be able to permit new and upgraded connections again. A special heavy-duty crane had to come from Polokwane to offload the “The good news is that phase one is planned to be comheavy long concrete pylons for the new electrical lines that will run along pleted by December 2011. the outskirts of Tzaneen.

“Although a total of approximately 20 MVA safe capacity will be installed, with the existing Tzaneen substation severely overloaded, some of the newly acquired capacity will be required to offset this overload,” he added. Further good news is that consumers wanting new or upgraded connections can ‘’secure’’ these connections by applying and paying for them now. The advantage is that the costs will be determined according to the 2010/2011 Services Contribution Policy rates, which will have to be revised upwards in time for the forthcoming 2011/2012 financial year that starts on 1 July 2011. Consumers are therefore advised to take advantage of this opportunity between now and 30 June 2011 to apply and pay for their new or upgraded connections, before the price increase. These connections will then be made available around December 2011 as soon as phase one of the project is commissioned. It is important to note that consumers whom were issued letters from Council entitling them to a specific amount of capacity, but who never actually paid for the installation of this entitled capacity, should note that these letters allocating capacity will become null and void once phase one is complete. Available electrical capacity will be allocated on a “first paid’’ basis.

Lightning strikes killing a doctor and a dog Susan Ettmayr General Practitioner Dr Lynne Dowd (51) from Sydney in Australia and Zinzi, a Labrador, died after being struck by lightning on Brawn’s Knob, 22 km from Haenertsburg, at lunchtime on Thursday last week. The gneiss boulder, consisting of iron and granite, is on private property. It forms part of Charles and Ann Luther’s farm and they often walk up the fairly steep incline to the plateau with the spectacular view, and then down the other side. It was a sunny day when Charles (58) and Ann (57), with Zinzi and their other Labrador Jatjie, went up Brawn’s Knob with Lynne and her husband Bruce (53) an emergency nurse, as well as their friends Colin Walwyn (54) an electrical engineer, and his wife Aislinn (52) a lawyer. Colin’s family farm, Hard Lines, is on the Ebenezer Road. Both went to school in Johannesburg and attended the University of the Witwatersrand. The Walwyns emmigrated to Sydney some two decades ago where they live with their two children, Sare and Robert. This was the Dowd couple’s first visit to South Africa.

Susan Ettmayr Don’t know what to do with your children over the Kiwi Festival in Haenertsburg this weekend? Take them to Wegraakbosch farm on the Cheerio Road. There children milk cows, collect eggs from the chickens, see goats and pigs, and see how the award winning cheese is made. This all gives them a feel for an alternate lifestyle that leaves a light carbon footprint on the Earth. Nipper Thompson is a geologist, and his wife Sylvie studied Anthropology as well as French, Portuguese and German. They have never had electricity but solar power and they farm organically.

Boerepolitiek of...? Dit is nie van gister af nie dat gesê (gewaarsku) is die jaarlikse Tzaneense landbouskou van AgriLetaba moet omvorm word en dat dit dringend ‘n verjongingskuur benodig. In ‘n vorige bedeling het dit egter geblyk dat daar vasgesteek is by ‘n model en ‘n patroon waaruit nie ontsnap kon word nie. Verlede jaar is ‘n nuwe bedeling betree, toe ‘n splinternuwe skoukomitee (as onderafdeling van AgriLetaba as eienaar van die skou) aangekondig het hulle gaan oor ‘n termyn van drie jaar die skou weer basies na ‘n landbouskou toe omvorm. Die eerste jaar se wegspring het inderdaad ‘n gesonde landboukleur gekry en dit was duidelik dat daar in die regte rigting beweeg word. Intussen het die ongeduld by boere asook by die landbou-handelsektor om een of ander onbekende rede dermate opgebou dat besluit is om ‘n (baie suksesvolle) boeredag op die oewer van die Letabarivier in Letsitele se omgewing te hou. ‘n Mens benodig nie ‘n bril of ‘n gehoorapparaat om te weet dat daar nou spanning in boeregeledere hieroor is nie. Die landbouskou se mense sê, met reg, dit voel of hul plan wat verlede jaar bekend gemaak is, gekaap is. Van die anderkant van die draad word gesê daar is lank genoeg gewag en die boeredag gaan nie vir die skou terugstaan nie. Trouens, alles dui op planne om die boeredag volgende jaar baie uit te brei. Dit sal jammer wees as twee groepe in die landbousektor teen mekaar begin wedywer om skousake. Die boeredag se belangstelling sal altyd beperk wees tot ‘n meer geslote groep wat in die praktiese landbou gesetel is. Die skou, aan die ander kant, is ‘n gemeenskapsprojek wat ook vir nie-boere iets (wil) bied. Die groter verskeidenheid nie-boerdery-aktiwiteite van die skou bied groot vermaak aan mense uit die landelike gebied vir wie dit ‘n hoogtepunt is en aan wie dit nuwe blootstelling bied. Ander fasette van die skou bied tog iets anders aan die groot publiek. Daarom is en bly dit jammer as ‘n nuwe poging om die skou uit te bou, deur ‘n nuwe boeredag-“opposisie” gekelder word en dit is te hope dat die groepe met mekaar hieroor reguit sal praat.

No, Bulletin Zandile Ndaba, Senior Manager: Coops & CPPP, Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda), Sunnyside, Pretoria, writes: Your article on March 25 titled “Extravagant party to celebrate… the Party” refers. It is misleading for your publication to brand the event that took place at the Emergent Farmers Tours Agricultural Cooperative on March 19 as electioneering. Government work does not stop just because we are close the elections. It is also misleading to attribute the success of the Cooperative thus far only to private funding institutions. The Small Enterprise Development Agency’s (Seda) Cooperative and Community Public Private Partnerships (Coops & CPPP) programme has implemented several interventions to assist the cooperative. Seda offers non-financial services to SMMEs; our Coops & CPPP programme is about partnerships and the aim of the event was to bring together various role players – including private institutions - to garner further support for the cooperative to help them grow even further, be sustainable and create more jobs. We are confident we will achieve this through planned further interventions with MASHAV – Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation, the Limpopo Department of Agriculture’s Revitalisation of Small Holder Irrigation Schemes Programme and the Department of Trade & Industry, to name some role players who have made firm commitments to the Cooperative. Our view is that the Cooperative needs more than just funding in order to be sustainable. When funds are made available, they need to be managed properly in order to achieve the desired end. This is why Seda has conducted extensive training for the Co-

operative members to help them understand crucial business concepts and how to market their enterprise so that it grows. We are helping them look beyond the contract they have currently with Pepperdew International and are exposing them to opportunities that will enable the Cooperative to be sustainable whether the contract is there or not. Lastly, your article states that the farm on which the Cooperative operates is a state farm. This is incorrect. The Cooperative uses communal land owned by Mmakgoshi Maake on a permission-to-occupy basis. • We gladly apologise for any wrong information contained in our report and we thank you for pointing it out and sharing your perspective with our readers. It would have been nice and informative if you could have shared a bit more with us though. Why was this function held now, and not earlier or later on? Why was nobody from Nedbank invited? Why was nobody from Peppadew invited? Why was nobody from the local media invited to witness this grand occasion? Why spend so much money to celebrate a project while the farmers don’t know which way because they don’t have money to continue farming? Our report dealt with the matter of a lack of funds that kept the new farmers from getting on with what they wanted and badly needed to do. You confirm that the Seda didn’t help them with capital, but fail to say who helped them. We salute Seda for what you are doing to train the farmers and to empower them to run their farming activities properly and profitably. However, without capital they are lost. And that was the crux of our report. The fact that the private sector had to get them onto their feet, so to speak, has been ignored and the celebration seems to have been badly timed. Hence our report that it smelled of party political opportunism. — Editor

A question that is often asked today is “Does God still heal today?” This is true of many who have lived with a loved one who has suffered from an illness for a long time and no cure seems to be available. I speak of first hand knowledge of this and I could rightly say, “No God does not heal today” look at how this person is suffering. But I do not believe this, I believe that God does heal today, perhaps not in the way many of us expect it to happen. But happen it does. I think that many of us want to see some miraculous scenario, where the person suffering is suddenly healed in a dramatic way. Please do not get me wrong when I say this, I believe it does happen, but I have yet to see this happen in person. Healing services are held regularly and yes people are cured by prayer. But God also works through the gifts He gave to us, Doctors and surgeons have been the gift of healing by God and if they use them correctly, miracles happen. What was considered incurable many years ago is curable today. God gave others gifts of being able to study the illness and find a cure. So all we have to believe is that God still heals today. We have just to ask Him and in His own time all will be revealed. God Bless.

Die mense hoor Let wel: hulle sê nie so nie! • Vir Amerika is die groen kaart ‘n gesogte en kosbare ding. Jy het die groen kaart nodig as jy daar wil vertoef. Hier in ons kontrei, so hoor die mense, is dit ‘n groengeel-rooi-swart kaart wat die ding doen. So ‘n kaart en ‘n vriendskap met die hoof van ‘n staatsinstelling kan maklik R20 miljoen werd wees, hoor die mense. Dit kan sake met ‘n flenters vliegtuig help oplos en dit kan glo terselfdertyd sommer help om strate en riool en elektrisiteit en al dié dinge uit te sorteer. Die mense hoor verder dit is nie ‘n Conincidence dat daar nou ook ‘n gesamentlike projekkie uitpeul nie... • Daar is iets in Mosambiek se lug wat mense se maniere ten goede beïnvloed, of hul skynheiligheid laat toeneem. Selfs baardbek, so hoor die mense, kom terug van daai land af en is dan so vroom en stroperig dat daar kommer oor sy geestestoestand is... • Daar is vermoedelik ‘n onheiligheidjie aan die gang by die plaaswinkel op die bult in die vallei. Die mense hoor daar sal later meer besonderhede hieroor bekend raak... • Of mens nou ‘n appel soos ‘n appel laat lyk en of jy ‘n appel soos ‘n Peer laat lyk, dit maak geen verskil aan die definisie van (politieke) opportunisme nie...

Don’t miss next weekend’s power boat racing on the Tzaneen Dam!

Gelukkige wenner Mr Kgashane Ratopola, from near Lenyenye, was one of the winners of Afrisam’s national lucky draw. He is one of only three winners in Limpopo and won a trailer by simply buying cement at Letaba Buildit in Nkowankowa and filling in a form. Ratopola was congratulated in front of his new trailer by Mr Peru Walkenshaw, a manager at Letaba Buildit, and Mr Neo Poho, AfriSam Sales Consultant for Limpopo. Photo: Retha Nel

Kabeldiewe maak telefone by ons nou tjoepstil Louis Roux Telkom in Limpopo sit met ‘n groot agterstand in die herstel van telekommunikasielyne weens die vlytigheid van kabeldiewe. Net in en om Tzaneen sit talle huishoudings en groot besighede sonder toegang tot die Internet, e-posse en ander noodsaaklike telekomgeriewe. Wanneer klante die probleme aanmeld, is die antwoord sonder uitsondering: “Ons wag vir die begin van die nuwe finansiële jaar, want die bestaande een se geld is op.” Die skoukantoor in Tzaneen sit al langer as ‘n maand sonder telefoondiens. Hulle moet dringend korrespondensie

na boere en sakemanne versend ter voorbereiding van die Letaba Agri Ekspo wat oor net meer as drie maande gehou word, maar die kabels kan nie vervang word nie. Die kabeldiewe oes lustig voort in die Politsi-omgewing en Modjadjiskloof, waar twee groepe plunderaars reeds deur die inwoners gewaar is. Net buite Modjadjiskloof lê ‘n telegraafpaal op sy rug en die meeste kabels in die omgewing is geplunder. ‘n Boer buite die dorp, mnr Hill Klinkert, sê dis die kommunikasielyn waarvan hy en al die boere verder aan afhanklik is. Mnr Mike van der Spuy van Mike’s Elektries in Modjad-

jiskloof sê sedert verlede Vrydag is kabels by minstens vier mense in die dorp gesteel. “Die prys van koper is goed en die stropers raak al meer astrant. Van hulle is gewapen en skroom nie om te skiet as hulle gewaar word nie.” Politsi se gemeenskapspolisieforum moes dié week op ‘n vergadering hoor dat een van sy lede, mnr Leo Kruger van Westfalia, die polisie vyf keer gebel het om kabeldiefstal te rapporteer. Toe die jong konstabel ure later opdaag, was sy verskoning dat hy besig was met patrollieritte in die dorp. Dit is onder die aandag van senior polisie-offisiere gebring.

B Mkhabela upgraded Duncan Mogale Learners and teachers of B Mkhabela Secondary school in Mhangweni Village are jubilant that their school is being rebuilt. The development started in September 2010. The school only had four class rooms with four mobile class rooms. Four more class rooms, an administrator’s office, toilets and a security office have been built and are already occupied. Mr Simon Phakula, one of the teachers, said there are still not enough class rooms, but the additions make a huge difference. Phakula also said there are seven teachers, excluding the principal, and this situa-

tion causes some inconvenience, since some teachers have to teach at least two or three subjects in one class room and teach pupils in an average of five classes. The teachers teach from Grades 8 to 12. They are, however, quite ecstatic about the new class rooms and now hope more class rooms will be built and more teachers will be appointed. Committed community members showed unmeasured kindness for the school as they volunteer to clean classrooms, wash windows and help watering palm trees donated by Phakula from his own nursery.

Voedselprojek kry groot verrassing...

Die voedingskema vir behoeftige kinders by die Laerskool Tzaneen het ‘n groot verrassing gekry toe die Tzaneen Rotariërklub R10 000 aan die skema geskenk het. Die voedingskema voorsien elke dag tydens pouse ‘n bord kos aan behoeftige kinders en is baie afhanklik van skenkings. Meer as sestig kinders baat tans by die projek en verskeie kerke in die omgewing is ook deel van die inisiatief. Mee Estie Zietsman en Leona Krog (middel) het namens die voedingskema die tjek ontvang van mnre Cornél van Niekerk en Theo Welthagen van die Rotariërklub. Foto: Retha Nel

Plasie-skuts ryg weer Vossies beplan skouspel medaljes by SA’s in in veldtog teen kanker Boogskuts van die Hoërskool Merensky het hul onlangs weer baie goed van hul taak gekwyt, toe hulle aan die SA Kampioenskappe in Rustenburg gaan deelneem het. Dertien Plasies het gaan deelneem. Jenine Grundling was die wenner van die Bow Hunter-afdeling Jenine Grundling vir junior meisies, terwyl Marietjie Harmse die derde plek in die dames-afdeling ingepalm het. Johan Wagner het weer eens uitstekend presteer, toe hy die vierde plek in die Bow Hunter-afdeling vir junior mans behaal het. Hy het drie kwalifiserende punte aangeteken deurdat hy op al drie dae meer as 500 punte behaal het. Hy het ook SA-kleure in die Field-

afdeling verwerf, nadat hy in verskillende kompetisies kwalifiserende punte aangeteken het. Rikus Warmenhoven het die vierdie plek in die Freestyle-afdeling vir junior mans behaal. Arno Harmse en Dries Grundling het vir provinsiale kleure in die afdeling vir mans gekwalifiseer.

Munnik Meerkat was great fun

’n Wonderlike veldtog wat verlede jaar by die eerste rugbyspan van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster posgevat het, word binnekort uitgeleef, en ’n dringende beroep word op Tzaneeners gedoen om hul ondersteuning te bied. Tydens verlede jaar se “shavathon” wat by Ben Vorster gehou is, was daar ‘n voorstel dat die eerste span in hul eerste tuiswedstryd swart en pienk kouse dra om hul steun aan die veldtog teen kanker te toon. Maar mnr Andre Hay, hul afrigter, het die gedagte eers op die ys geplaas en beplan om in 2011 ’n besondere geleentheid daarvan te maak. Die span gaan in een van hul wedstryde in pienk truie speel. Die datum is nog nie bevestig nie, maar die kragmetings teen Kemptonpark en Menlopark op 30 April en 28 Mei is vir hierdie unieke geleentheid geoormerk. Die Vossies betrek al hul wintersportsoorte en beplan om ’n slag in die stryd teen kanker te slaan. Alle geld wat ingesamel word, gaan aan die Tzaneen Care Group oorhandig word. Ben Vorster versoek alle Tzaneeners se ondersteuning deur ’n trui, broek en kouse vir ’n eerstespan-rugbyspeler te borg. ’n Borg word ook benodig om op die dag elke drie wat gedruk word, te borg. Enige donasies en bydraes sal ook baie welkom wees. Me Elize Dry kan by 083 258 0306 geskakel word vir enige navrae. REGS: Jannes Dry, kookwater-senter van Ben Vorster se eerste rugbyspan, wys hoe die span gaan lyk wanneer hulle op die veld gaan draf in hul veldtog teen kanker.

Plasies is soos visse tuis in water

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

Losing as little as 5 to 10 percent of your extra body weight can result in significant improvements to your overall health such as lowering your cholesterol and reducing your risk of diabetes. To lose the extra weight you can make weekly changes in your diet and lifestyle that will help you stay focused and on track with your weight loss. Prepare healthy foods at the beginning

of each week that you will be able to eat throughout the week. Having easy access to healthy foods will make you more likely to eat them instead of eating unhealthy options. Make whole grain pastas, vegetable soups and leafy green salads that you can keep fresh throughout the week. Also try to exercise at least 3 times a week and remember to drink enough water.

Dis nie net die jong Plasies wat van swem hou nie. Me Willemien van Niekerk, ’n lid van die Hoërskool Merensky se personeel, het ook vanjaar aan die Ebenezer Myl deelgeneem en die 500 m swem voltooi. Twee swemmers wat gereeld in die water te sien is, Adri Venter en Nika de Jager, het Sondag aan die Bosveld Myl by die Bela Bela-dam deelgeneem. Adri het die derde plek in die 3 kmswem behaal, terwyl Nika de Jager agtste was. Adri het ook aan die myl deelgeneem en Van Niekerk die agste plek behaal.

Om die Dam Vossie-meisies slaggereed oor een week Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se eerste netbalspan het onlangs ’n belangrike hupstoot gekry, toe die borgskap van Makarios Makelaars hulle te beurt geval het.

Die eindstryd is net na die vakansie in Potchefstroom en sal hulle weer om die kroon meeding.

Team Boulevard wins at Ebenezer Dam Plasies klop Stanford in rugby Die derde en vierde rugbyspanne van die Hoërskool Merensky was verlede Donderdag in vriendskaplike wedstryde met Stanford Lake College se tweede en eerste spanne gewikkel. Die Plasies se vierde span het na ’n spannende stryd as oorwinnaars van die veld gestap en Stanford se tweedes met 15-10 geklop. Die derde span se kragmeting was nog taaier en het hulle Stanford se eerste span met 17-15 geklop.
