No money! Thus no finishing the road job

There’s no money to complete the current high maintenance work on the Georges Valley road tot Haenertsburg! The contractor, who is clearly doing a sterling job, will thus have to move his plant and people back to Pretoria, at great cost. Once the budget allows for the maintenance to be continued, the contractor will be called back — obviously at great cost. The GV road was “fixed” about two years ago by an obscure contractor, who was “fired” before the job could be finished. Their work did not last for much longer than three months.

Now the road, carrying a very high volume of traffic and especially heavy vehicles, will be improved between Tzaneen and Vergelegen, about 20 km from Tzaneen — and the rest of the road will have to wait. Our source, a senior official in the roads department, confirmed the sad news earlier this week. A member of the contractor’s team also confirmed that they have been notified of the situation. In the mean time motorists are warned to be extremely cautious on this road, since road works cause detours at certain points.

Farm couple attacked in Agatha The Agatha community outside Tzaneen staggered under a farm attack when well-known author/journalist Bridget Hilton-Barber and a friend were injured in a robbery on Wednesday night. Three men armed with knives entered the homestead next to the Kings Walden guesthouse in Agatha around 20:00 through the study and attacked the couple in the lounge. Mr Richard

Chipps (47), a visitor from Gauteng, was stabbed in the leg during a scuffle and Hilton-Barber was hit by a stone and stabbed in the head. The robbers grabbed two cameras, a laptop and a cell phone worth about R43 000 and ran off. Mr Ron Reiners of Agatha SAS arrived at the scene shortly afterwards and assisted them until the police

and members of Northern Security arrived. The couple were taken to Tzaneen Mediclinic, where Chipps was released after treatment. HiltonBarber spent the night in hospital. Police spokesman Capt Simon Shikwambana said a case of robbery is investigated. No arrests have been made and anyone with information can contact Capt Ndlovu on 015 306 2000.

Ms Petronella Katrina Marshman of Tzaneen celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday! On page 2 is more about her and her family.

Skaam jou, nie meer nie! Vlieg praat met die Volk, en krap waar dit jeuk Vlieg het toe weer gaan rugby kyk, soos wat dit sy voorneme so om en by ‘n jaar gelede al was. Ter wille van die papies natuurlik, soos wat hy ook verlede jaar geadvokeer het. Vlieg het ook verlede jaar, vir wat toe die jongste van die rooi papies was, probeer gerusstel dat tweede kom nie eintlik verloor is nie, en dat dit nie die einde van die wêreld is nie. Vanjaar egter is daar so ‘n bietjie meer gerusstelling om te doen. Vir dieselfde groepie papies, wat nou die tweede jongste is, sal Vlieg probeer oortuig dat hulle konsekwentheid hulle nie in die steek gelaat het nie. Om twee jaar agtereenvolgend tweede te kom is nie ‘n slegte rekord nie, en laat ook darem ruimte vir verbetering. Vir die nuwe jongste mannetjies en vir die senior papie wil Vlieg die gerusstelling gee dat, net soos in ander gelowe, in hierdie

Saterdag-geloof in Ruggabus, alle gebede nie verhoor word nie. Die teoloë sal dadelik maan dat dit nie beteken dat ‘n mens moet ophou bid nie. Allermins. Dit beteken net dat ‘n mens harder moet bid dat jy volgende jaar meer op jou tuisveld kan speel, veral in die uitspeelrondes. Vlieg het ook in die verlede al — ten koste van homself en enige greintjie selfrespek — openlik erken dat hy ‘n Leeuondersteuner is. En kyk nou net wie pryk bo-aan die Kerriekoppie punteleer na afloop van die helfte van die seisoen! Nou erken Vlieg sonder skaamte dat hy die Goue Leeus ondersteun. Vlieg maak dus reeds groot planne vir die 29ste Oktober. En as laaste woorde van bemoediging aan die rooi papies: moenie moed verloor nie, hierdie god van Ruggabus werk op vreemde maniere!

Mnr Riaan Ludick (42), die mede-eienaar van Lou-Dri Velddienste van Tzaneen, is Saterdag by sy huis dood. Hy laat sy ouers, twee broers, suster, verloofde en haar twee dogters agter. Sy familie bedank dr Van der Heever, Tzaneen Ambulansdiens en Northern Security vir hul bystand. Vir begrafnisreëlings of blyke van meegevoel, skakel Andries Ludick by 083 361 9077. Emil Fenske, a former pupil at Stanford Lake College, who left to continue with his matric in Johannesburg, died from unnatural causes on 25 August. His mother, Ms Estie Fenske, had been the Afrikaans teacher at SLC since its inception.

Defiant sangoma is back

“Hi sol having guest need whiskey trf some money for me haha” and then “4048920080 branch code 334248 ABSA Mr J Gallant:D” and finally “I am in Tzaneen today would like to see you?”. These are the three messages, in chronological order, that need to be clarified.

Tzaneen’s defiant sangoma who was removed by the police early on Thursday last week was back on the Letaba’s river bank on Wednesday. He has built a brand new shack and his flags, various notices and warnings painted on stones and his carved statues were all in place again. He says he will not be moved by the GTM, the police or the courts, since his forefathers had instructed him to live at the river.

The cell phone, the messages, the farmer and the Land Bank

of Motupa were convicted on two counts of housebreaking and sentenced to six months and two years in prison respectively, while Matume Monyepao (24) was given six months for contravening the terms of a protection order. These convictions are part of the successes by the Tzaneen SAPS in the area. As part of the successes in Operation Kick Crime Shikwambana said 71 people were arrested for various crimes over the past two weeks. Among the arrests were two for murder, nine for general theft, ten for assault with grievous bodily harm, four for shoplifting, thirteen for road traffic offences and 21 for illegal trading (hawking). These figures on crime will be forwarded to the media on a regular basis in future.

Land grab in Haenertsburg foiled Haenertsburg’s DA Councillor Luke Perkins

last week had to deal hastily with a land invasion in the village. It was claimed to be a “land claim” issue. Municipal officials and residents of Haenertsburg were also involved in trying to sort out the dispute in the Grasslands at the edge of the village* (a protected area known as the Common below the Haenertsburg Primary School), Environmental Affairs (the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism) and Public Works also got involved. The issue started when a certain Mr Kgopa started pegging off thirty blocks of land and “selling” these to people at R1 000 a stand, promising them free RDP houses. One man paid a deposit of R500, since he was hard up for a house. He got a receipt noting that the R500 was paid for “donation and legal advice”. Kgopa told the buyers that a land claim by him was approved, and that he now owns the land and may sell it. Earlier on he held a meeting outside the village post office shouting: “panzi legoa, panzi legoa (down white person, down white person).” Local police put a stop to this. Kgopa worked up old political hatred to publicise his land claim scheme. He began his drive on the late Naas Wiid’s farm just outside the village. Plots were going at R300 each. Kgoba had no valid paperwork to back him up, but he produced a rather obscure letter from the Premier to the Mayor’s Office in Tzaneen.The letter is worded in such a strange way that it can hardly be thought to have legal standing. Part of the letter reads: “Although this is not a recognized Traditional Council; as a community which is made claim on the fully recognition of the Community chieftainship; your municipality is hereby requested to consider them for services given to other Communities around Tzaneen.” The police cautioned Kgopa but for the rest they were reluctant to get involved and did not physically stop him from pegging off land, or taking money. They warned Perkins “not to take the law into his own hands” and remove the peggs. Several meetings with stakeholders were held to discuss the situation and even ANC’s

ward councillor for the area made it clear that he was acting outside of the ANC. The councillor asked Kgopa to stop, but to no avail. The GTM also spoke to him and pointed out that the municipality demarcates land, not individuals. This had no impact. The GTM next spoke with the Haenertsburg SAPS and pointed out to them the illegality of what was going on, and gave the police a letter authorizing them to prevent Kgopa from continuing with his activities. The GTM also filed for Supreme Court order preventing the land invasion. The Haenertsburg community, under the leadership of the Haenertsburg Development Foundation, has for a long time recognised the need for housing in the area, and has communicated this need to the authorities. However, the central government, the provincial government and the GTM allegedly failed to play a role in this regard. * The protected area, with 42 red data critically endangered plants, is so important environmentally that environmentalists believe it should be declared a nature reserve.

BELOW: It says it’s the only place wasn’t long before new owners arrived with building material. where certain traditional plants grow. CEO for Tourism, Rob Tooley, says: “legitimate housing is urgently needed for Haenertsburg employees. Most workers travel between 25 and 40 kms to and from work daily.

Staat wil nou boere se water vat Die beheer van landbouwater in Limpopo is so chaoties dat dit vorentoe kan lei tot ‘n openlike politieke vuisgeveg tussen AgriSA en die departement van waterwese. Terselfdertyd dreig die waterminister, me Edna Molewa, om water sonder vergoeding van boere weg te vat, vir gebruik in ander sektore as landbou. Suid-Afrika sal in die nabye toekoms moet kies of hy kos of water wil invoer.

Die voorsitter van AgriLetaba, mnr Dries Enslin, sê hy het op 18 Augustus kort kennis gekry dat Waterwese die volgende dag met alle watergebruikers ‘n vergadering in Bela Bela sou hou. By dié vergadering is uitgestippel dat die landbou voortaan baie duurder vir water sal moet betaal, terwyl agtergeblewenes voorkeur met waterlisensies sal geniet. Molewa het gesê die landbou gebruik 60% van die land se wa-

ter en dat dié situasie sal moet verander, sodat water na ander sektore gelei kan word. Die Waterwet van 1998 gaan volgens haar herskryf word, om voorsiening te maak vir ‘n ewerediger verspreiding van water. Enslin sê met die beoogde wateropvang-agentskappe (Catchment Management Agencies) wat reeds in 1998 voorgestel is, het nog nie veel gebeur nie. Die CMA vir Levubu/Letaba wat deur

Waterwese bestuur word, het die afgelope jaar R3 miljoen oorbestee aan personeel, terwyl geld vir projekte in die gebied met 52% onderbestee is. Die hoof van die CMA-span, mnr Andries Munzhedzi, kon volgens Enslin geen verduideliking hiervoor gee nie. Enslin het boere by AgriLetaba se vergadering in Tzaneen gewaarsku dat die gebruik van water vorentoe ‘n al groter kwessie kan word.

Turbine-heli kuier in Tzn ‘n Opwindende nuwe speelding uit Amerika het dié week in Tzaneen kom gesig wys en groot belangstelling by plaaslike vlieëniers ontlok. Dis ‘n turbine-aangedrewe Robinsonhelikopter — een van net twee wat in Julie in SA aangekom het. Dit is bekend as die R66 en is ‘n groot verbetering op die Robinson R44 met sy suierenjin wat volop in Limpopo is. Die R66 word deur Starlite Africa Aviation van die Virginia-lughawe in Durban ingevoer en versprei.Die maatskappy se verkoop- en opleidingdirekteur, mnr Koos Myburgh, is die eerste Suid-Afrikaner wat die nuwe helikopter vlieg. Hy

het onlangs die Robinson-fabriek in Torrance, Los Angeles besoek om met die R66 vertroud te raak. Die vyfsitplek helikopter het ‘n 300 perdekrag Rolls Royce-turbine-enjin en vlieg gemaklik teen 120 knope. Sy prys is R5,7m (voor BTW). Dit het ‘n bagasieruim vir 136 kg vrag. Myburgh reeds agt bestellings ontvang. Dit word op bestelling gebou en aflewering is eers in Desember volgende jaar. Van die Laevelders wat na die tuig kom kyk het, was mnre Francois Vorster, Zander Osmers, Roedie Botes en dr Pieter Scholtz. Van hulle het kitsvlugte meegemaak en was beïndruk met die R66.

Horses for courses We stand divorced from party politics, making it easy to evaluate. Our view regarding the allocation of coucillors to certain committees in the GTM should thus be seen as objective and independent. The DA’s request that their “specialists” should be allocated to committees where their inputs would not be limited is valid. Why waste a councillor’s talents, knowledge and experience in a committee where he/she could not make a real contribution? Why expect from councillors to serve their community but then restrict them in how and what they can bring to the table? The ANC majority in the council seems to be happy to have noted the DA’s complaint. We sincerely hope that they will not be complacent and leave it at being noted. A review of the allocations will not be seen as a weakness or as giving in to the opposition’s request. Rather: it would be seen as responsible and matured, in the interest of the council and the community.

Nie gekoop nie Me Ester Olivier (‘n ouer) van Phalaborwa skryf: Na aanleiding van die berig getiteld “Siek Obsessie” in u uitgawe van 2 September 2011 deur Teleurgestelde Ben Vorster Ouer van Tzaneen, reageer Ben Vorsterouer van Phalaborwa soos volg: Myns insiens behoort die skool nie tot enige polemiek gedaag te word nie. My kind en ander leerders wat tans die top-leierskapposisies beklee, het hulself onderskei en is op ‘n demokratiese wyse verkies en is nie “gekoop” nie, maar het uit eie keuse lede van die Vossie skoolgemeenskap geword. Elke leerder het ‘n konstitusionele reg tot opvoeding, inbegrepe die reg van keuse van opvoedingsinstansie, watter keuse uiteraard beïnvloed word deur beskikbare vakkeuses, fasiliteite, ens. ten einde die leerder se potensiaal optimaal te ontwikkel. Die leerder wat hierdie keuse maak, betaal dieselfde skoolgeld en het dieselfde aanspraak op “Vossie”-status en regte wat daaruit voortspruit en is nie “buitestaanders” nie. Slegs volgehoue toewyding en harde werk kan boonop opname in sport- of akademiese spanne verseker. Globalisering en tegnologie het grense vervaag — selfs dorpsgrense. Dis ‘n werklikheid. Die voordeel egter is die integrasie van ‘n verskeidenheid van kulture, talente, idees, ensovoorts, tot verryking van die Vossie-gemeenskap en die “buitestaanders” — alles ten bate van opvoeding. ‘n Presteerder kan eenvoudig nooit ‘n ander presteerder ontneem van prestasies in eie geledere nie. Presteerders kweek presteerders en ‘n strewe na uitnemendheid

— wat noodsaaklik is vir ekonomiese oorlewing buite die eng omskrewe grense van “eie geledere”. Die standaard, teleurgestelde ouer, is uitnemendheid — uitnemendheid ter wille van oorlewing. • Ons vestig u aandag daaop dat dit ‘n brief van ‘n leser was en nie ‘n berig wat deur die koerant geïnisieer of verwoord is nie — Redakteur

Leen `n boek, sluit by die biblioteek aan of nog beter: koop `n boek. Lees net. Dit kan jou lewe verander. Biblioteke behoort as `n noodsaaklike diens beskou te word. As kind moes ons klaarkom met `n longdrop en `n kers, maar ons huis was vol boeke. Ons het met `n donkiekar skool toe gegaan. In die middae wanneer die donkies traag was om die lang pad huis toe te vat, het neef Danie vir ons voorgelees uit sy leesboek. Saans het my pa vir ons `n storie uit die Landbou Weekblad voorgelees. Hierdie gebeure het onbewustelik `n liefde vir lees by my gevestig. Baie jare later het ek een van my spruite in gr 2 uit die skool gehaal en sy het begin lees.

Holrug gery Piet Smit van Letsitele skryf: Die brief van Teleurgestelde Ben Vorster-ouer in u uitgawe van 2 September verwys. Ek glo nie dit is die regte ding vir ouers van ‘n skool om skoolsake met mekaar uit te spook in die media nie, maar as ouer van “buurskoolkinders” in Ben Vorster wil ek graag die skrywer daarvan op ‘n paar van sy/haar feitefoute wys. Dit is vir my altyd ongelukkig as iemand oor veral skoolsake onder die dekmantel van ‘n skuilnaam wegkruip. Dié optrede en veral die skrywer se kwetsende taalgebruik soos “siek obsessie” laat my tog wonder of die skrywer inderdaad ‘n ouer van die skool is. Die skrywer van die brief se verwysing na buurskole is ietwat verwarrend. Kinders van buurdorpe soos Letsitele, Duiwelskloof,

Hoedspruit en Gravelotte is al vir dekades leerlinge aan beide Ben Vorster en Merensky en om hulle nou as “onwelkom” in Ben Vorster te verklaar, is bloot net die optrede van iemand wat of hopeloos oningelig of kwade bedoelings het. Hierdie skole is belangrike voedingsskole van beide skole in Tzaneen, maar ook Stanford. Ek het probeer om die werklike feite oor die getalle waarna die skrywer verwys te kry en die werklike feite gee vir my ‘n verdere aanduiding dat die skrywer totaal verwyderd van die skool en die waarheid is. Die skrywer beweer dat 70% van die eerste rugbyspan nie uit die skool se natuurlike voedingsgebied (soos hy/sy dit sien) kom nie. Die waarheid is dat uit die twintig spelers agt in Tzaneen woonagtig is, ses uit Hoedspruit-omgewing kom, drie uit Letsitele, een uit Gravelotte, een uit Musina en een uit Mokopane. Soos ek die voedingsbronne van Ben Vorster verstaan, kom daar dus 90% uit ons eie geledere! Ten opsigte van die leiers vir 2012 sit die skrywer ook die pot heeltemal mis. Slegs een van die ses is woonagtig in Phalaborwa en sy is in Ben Vorster uit eie keuse. Die verwysings na “koop” is ook nou holrug gery. Werwing van gr 8-leerders vind by beide skole plaas en alle kinders wat na Ben Vorster gaan is nie gekoop nie. Die meerderheid doen dit omdat die skool vir hulle ‘n geleentheid bied om aan ‘n toekoms en loopbaan te werk. Sport is mos deesdae ook ‘n loopbaan, of hoe? Ons as “buurskoolouers” sal nooit skuldig voel of om verskoning vra as ons kinders op enige van die hoërskole in ons gebied presteer en uitstyg nie. Vossie-groete

Tzaneen’s famous miracle mother dies One of Tzaneen’s most famous residents, Ms Karen Ferreira-Jorge (49), died in the early hours of Monday at Tzaneen Medi-Clinic. She fell sick on Saturday and was later admitted to the hospital. She contracted Meningococcal septicaemia, a severe acute bacterial infection. One of the other forms the disease can take is meningitis. If the disease is not detected early, it proves fatal. Ferreira-Jorge was born and raised in Tzaneen. She worked at the administrative section of Tzaneen Pharmacy and had a private beauty therapy salon. Ferreira-Jorge and her family are famous almost worldwide. Her mother, Ms Pat Anthony, stood in as a surrogate mother in 1987. FerreiraJorge’s uterus was removed because

Operation was a success Beaunice Mnisi

The police women of Tzaneen launched operation Vakorhoki (special services) at the Joint Operations Centre in Tzaneen last week. The 171 courageous officers worked together with their associates from the GTM’s traffic department, the immigration office of home affairs and Correctional Services. The group was led by Genl Khombomini Maggy Mathebula, who described the day as a celebration of women by serving the community. The ladies were dispersed into small groups that operated around the seven different policing areas. Warrant Officer Magadzi, from Ritavi Police station, reported on the success of the

ladies at the end of their duties. The assistance of the immigration officers proved important, when ten illegal immigrants were found. The ladies that took part in road blocks stopped around 228 vehicles and 28 traffic fines were issued. There were three cases of illegal gambling, nine for public drinking and five for possession of dagga. Magadzi reported that about 180 community members were informed about looking after their children to prevent rape cases and pupils from two high schools were also addressed on sexual assaults and drug abuse. The police found one case of possession of a dangerous weapon, two cases of selling liquor without a license and arrested one suspect for cellphone theft.

Do you know this man? The SA Police Service in Limpopo is offering a R200 000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of four suspects responsible for the murder of Cope and senior member of parliament Lekoba Jack Tolo (63).

Plaaslike kunstenaar stel nog ’n CD vry

Record When Mr Ben Payton from Alabama in the USA visited Motshwere Safaris in Limpopo recently, a waterbuck trophy was high on his wishlist. He, however, had no way of knowing he would bag a new No. 1 in the record books. Payton and his wife Cindy, hunted a number of good trophies, but this monster Waterbuck is unofficially the new SCI No 1, measuring 96 inches in total. The official measurement will be available in the next sixty days.

Elize Caroto, bekende gospel-sangeres van Tzaneen, het haar tweede CD opgeneem en die vrystelling daarvan is op 10 en 11 September by die Platform in Tzaneen.

Maak ’n verskil, een boek op ’n slag Retha Nel

retha@bulletin.us.com

Baie mense glo dat hulle as enkeling nie ‘n verskil in hul omgewing kan maak nie, of weet nie waar om te begin nie. Me Rita Pretorius van Tzaneen maak dit haar taak om mense bewus te maak van wat hulle kan doen om ‘n verskil te maak, sonder om baie geld tot hul beskikking te hê. Pretorius ondersteun die Pan African Mission, Christians Frontline Fellowhip, Creation Ministries, Quasi sa bantho en is ook ‘n vennoot by Petra College. Dié organisasies werk vir die sending. Haar ondersteuning help dat sendelinge steun geniet en dat uitreike in verskeie omgewings geskied. Sy lig mense in oor die werk wat die organisasies doen en ondersteun hul geldelik. Hoe? Sy koop boeke by die organisasies en voeg dit by die ver-

samelings of biblioteke wat sy begin het: by die Nazarene Christian Academy, die Metodiste Kerk en die Evangelies Gereformeerde Kerk. Die boeke, oor Christenskap en verwante sake, word eers netjies oorgetrek met kleefplastiek en soos in ‘n biblioteek gehanteer. ‘n Ander manier om ‘n verskil te maak is om te let op tydskrifte in winkels. Pretorius was een van die eerste mense in Tzaneen wat gekla het toe een van die groot kettingwinkels opgehou het om Christen-tydskrifte te verkoop. As meer mense kla oor sulke gebeure of wanneer hulle tydskrifte sien wat nie geskik is vir minderjariges nie, sal die winkels meer daarop let en tydskrifte verwyder of weer begin aanskaf. Mense wat belangstel om betrokke te raak by een van die genoemde organisasies of meer inligting oor aktiwiteite in die omgewing wil hê, kan Pretorius gerus by 076 290 4340 skakel.

Een van me Rita Pretorius se suksesse is ‘n jaarlikse gholftoernooi om geld vir sendingwerk in te samel. Hier en onder oorhandig haar seun, Dewald, tjeks aan ds Hendrik J van Rensburg en sy vrou Ina van die EGK in Tzaneen, en een van die gholfspelers in vanjaar se toernooi.

Villagers change tunes on wood cutting contractor

Nature Conservative officer Patrick Maswanganyi and two community members, Cash Rik-

A contractor who deals in gathering logs for decoration at Nsavulani outside Giyani nearly had his twelve months permit terminated, after villagers boycotted him, saying he should stop his work since they were not informed of his permit. The contractor, Mr John Kirstein, had apparently gotten his permission to operate in the village from Chief Mahumani’s tribal office, an office Nsavulani Village residents report to. Apparently there was a misunderstanding in the Nsavulani Royal Council. Rangers were notified about Kirstein’s operation, which led to the arrest of one of his workers in the village. Kirstein later came with papers that proved that he had a twelve month permit from the department of agriculture in Vhembe, which allowed him to cut hotso and Richard Zambukeri, standing on and collect dead trees for his project. This was in addition to permission from some of the logs that caused the dispute.

Chief Mahumani. Despite this permission, the villagers had decided that he should immediately stop. “If he wants to work at Nsavulani he should get permission from Nsavulani, because we deal with Nsavulani matters, and nobody else,” said the chairperson of the Nsavulani royal family, Patrick Rikhotso. When contacted, Chief Aaron Mahumani said “Patrick is not a resident in the village and thus has nothing to do with their affairs; what he’s doing is illegal because he doesn’t have a right to address a community in someone’s kingdom when he’s not a resident”. A day later Rikhotso called to say “we’ve resolved our issue with Kirstein and he may continue with his work; we realised that he’s working in good faith and would help our community.” Kirstein confirmed that they had resolved the matter.

Fishing helps people to make a living It is 15:00 on the bank of the Nsami Dam in Giyani. Samuel Maluleke of Thomo prepares to go to a nearby tarred road to sell his catch to motorists. He has Samuel Maluleke with a nice fish, which he told been there us was worth a whopping R200! since early morning, patiently waiting for a fish to take

the hook — and so he could have something to go home with to his wife and three kids. He has to make sure he sells all the fish “by today”, because they would not be sellable by the next day. “I sometimes go home at 20:00 or even later, because if you go home early before you can’t sell your catch, since customers prefer to buy fresh fish and not frozen,” he said. To him and other fishermen the low level of water in the dam presents an opportunity to catch big fishes. “It’s now easier to catch big fish than when the dam had a

lot of water.” Despite crocodiles lurking in the dam, many villagers living close to the dam drift on inflated tubes to the heart of the dam, where they set up their nets. Those that do not have tubes just walk in with their nets and do their fishing, despite the crocodiles. “They have stopped for a while, since a man was snatched by a crocodile while fishing a month ago,” explained another fisherman, Daniel Mathonsi of Makosha. The fish don’t come cheap; they go from R30 to R200 per fish.

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

Cardiovascular exercise is a great way of burning fat. Adding a little strength training to your workouts will earn you extra calories everyday . You’ll even burn extra calories while you’re sleeping or sitting on the couch. Aerobic exercise may burn a few hundred extra calories for dinner, but for every additional kilogram of muscle you gain, your body burns around 50 extra calories every day of the week. Research has shown that regular resistance training can increase your basal metabolic rate

by up to 15%. So for someone burning 2000 calories per day, that’s a potential 300 extra calories. Do not be disheartened if initially you seem to be staying at the same weight or gaining slightly. Muscle weighs more per square inch than fat, so whilst your weight might not be dropping very quickly, your clothes are feeling baggier and you are seeing a healthier, slimmer and better toned you in the mirror. That’s far more important than anything those nasty scales have to say, any time.

LINKS: Tydens ’n onlangse ritmiese gimnastiekkompetisie in Johannesburg vir vlak 4-meisies het Mariza Booyse van Zani’s Gimnastiek in Tzaneen baie goed gevaar en Limpopokleure verwerf. Sy gaan Limpopo by die SA Kampioenskappe in Kaapstad op 6 Oktober verteenwoordig. Mariza het aan die tou (tweede), vrydans (tweede), hoepel (derde) en bal (vierde) deelgeneem en die algehele derde plek verower. Dit is die vierde agtereenvolgende jaar dat sy Limpopokleure verwerf.

LINKS BO: TJ Vorster, ’n skut van die Laerskool Tzaneen, het drie silwer medaljes by die onlangse SANSU skietkompetisie by die Hoërskool Ben Vorster gewen. Hy het die tweede plek in die 3P- en 10 m-staanposisies gewen en ook die algehele tweede plek behaal. REGS BO: Stefan Engelbrecht, ’n hokkiespeler van die Laerskool Tzaneen, is gekies om aan die SASHOC-kamp deel te neem. Hy het in Julie aan die nasionale hokkietoernooi in Potchefstroom deelgeneem en is een van veertien seuns wat gekies is om aan die SASHOC High Performance Regional Camp van 12 tot 14 Desember in Johannesburg deel te neem.

Merensky slyp vir sewes-glorie Die Hoërskool Merensky het Saterdag op hul tuisveld skoonskip in die Old Mutual Sewestoernooi gemaak. Die Plasies was die gasheer van ’n baie suksesvolle sewesrugbydag waaraan skole van so ver as Johannesburg kom deelneem het. Dit was vir die Plasies die perfekte voorbereiding vir 17 September, wanneer die @lantic 7’s by Merensky aangebied word. Van die skole wat Saterdag kom deelneem het, was Frans du Toit van Phalaborwa, Rob Ferreira van Witrivier, Settlers en Lynx van Johannesburg. Die Plasies se eerste span het die toernooi gewen, toe hulle die span van Lynx in die eindstryd geklop het. Hul tweede span, die Hurricanes, het die eindstryd om die skild gewen. Daar was ook ’n afdeling vir juniorspanne, maar die ander spanne het ook nie ’n kans gestaan nie. Merensky het ook met die juniortitel weggestap. Die Plasies se JP Vermeulen het die beker vir die meeste drieë in die toernooi ontvang. REGS: Merensky se eerste sewesrugbyspan by hul afrigter, mnr Ian van Heerden. ONDER: JP Vermeulen druk teen Rob Ferreira een van sy talle drieë, wat hom die topdriedrukker van die toernooi gemaak het.

Plasie skiet Afrika-rekords aan flarde Johan Wagner, ’n boogskut van die Hoërskool Merensky, het die naweek by die Afrika Spele in Rustenburg twee rekords verbeter. Hy het Vrydag die rekord in die veldafdeling vir juniors verbeter. Die vorige rekord staan sedert 2003 op 521 punte. Johan het dit na 537 verbeter. Saterdag het hy die rekord in die “hunters”-klas verbeter. Die vorige rekord staan sedert 2007 op 519 punte en Johan het dit na 527 verbeter. Hy het ook die SA rekord van 1042 punte na 1064 verbeter en daarmee ook die Noordwes-rekord. Sy vertoning het aan hom die goue medalje besorg en hy het slegs ses punte onder die wêreldrekord geëindig.

Diva awarded for her support Orlando Chauke The news of Ms Joyce Chauke receiving an award for her role in popularising the World Cup in South Africa was received with great excitement by the community of her home town, Malamulele. Chauke, who is well-known as “Diva” for her dancing ability, was honoured with 23 others at a Sports Awards event held by the minister for sport, Mr Fikile Mbalula, in Rustenburg over the weekend. They each received R10 000 as well as a policy from Old Mutual. Along with other supporters Chauke organised road shows throughout the country for supporters and non-supporters of football. Chauke was a leader in these road shows, which informed people about the importance of the World Cup being hosted on home soil. RIGHT: Ms Joyce Chauke was mobbed by fans at the launch of the Pirates Supporter branch at Malamulele recently.
