Nuwe winkelpromenade open met ’n knal Tzaneen se nuwe spoggerige winkelpromenade “op die bult”, die Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre, se eerste winkels het Woensdag met ‘n knal geopen. ‘n Hele paar duisend mense het die sentrum “bestorm” en winkels soos Checkers, Fish Aways en King Pie moes spook om voor te bly om klante te bedien. Van die wegneemete-plekke kon nie soos beplan om 19:00 sluit nie en was nog tot lank na 20:00 oop. Die gerieflike toegange (verkeersligte by die hoofingang na die dorp en by die ingange na die sentrum beheer die verkeersvloei) en die lekker parkering, gaan die nuwe sentrum beslis baie gewild maak.
Breakthrough for Tzn
• From January pre-paid electricity meters will be installed in Tzaneen for the first time ever
First in South Africa to use new technology
Francois Aucamp
francois@bulletin.us.com
Pre-paid electricity meters boasting the very latest technology will become available in Tzaneen in January — the first town in South Africa to obtain the very latest state-of-theart technology. The Greater Tzaneen Municipality will make the meters available for a pilot project in Flora Park first. The GTM’s director of electro-technical ser-
vices, Mr Pierre van den Heever, confirmed the new development on Wednesday. He also confirmed that the new technology makes the meters tamper resistant and that the meters will be monitored from the GTM’s offices — where an alarm will go off the moment somebody tries to tamper with a meter! Pre-paid meters will in the long run cause a dramatic improve-
Van den Heever
ment in the GTM’s cash flow, since electricity will not be paid for two months after consumption, Van den Heever said. Pre-paid meters will be ideal in specific circumstances, for example in granny flats. Van den Heever warned that people shouldn’t think the unit cost of electricity is cheaper for pe-paid meters. “Consumers will be able to monitor their usage better and
easier, but the unit cost will be exactly the same as for consumers not using pre-paid meters,” he said. Van den Heever added that Tzaneen has waited for a long time to introduce pre-paid meters, due to the fact that the GTM was not prepared to give the green light for technology that allowed for tampering with meters — inevitably resulting in losses in revenue. • Eskom’s alleged 20% loss is said to be largely as a result of pre-paid meters that are not tamperfree and being side-passed.

Vlieg praat met die Volk, en krap waar dit jeuk Vlieg, en ander eendersdenkende andersdenkendes, dink soms oor goed waaroor ander mense nie dink nie. Om die waarheid te sê, Vlieg dink soms, of eerder, meesal dat ander mense glad nie dink nie. Byvoorbeeld, as iemand sou berig dat dit die verkeerstekens se skuld is dat iemand anders aan die regterkant van ‘n dubbelweg met sy motor ry, dan dink Vlieg dadelik dat daar iemand is wat nie gedink het nie. Vlieg bestuur nou seker so omtrent 25 jaar. Die eerste paar daarvan weliswaar ook sonder ‘n rybewys. Maar nog nooit in die 25 jaar het Vlieg, in hierdie land in elk geval waar ons veronderstel is om aan die linkerkant te ry, met ‘n oprit by ‘n dubbelpad aangesluit van die regterkant af nie! Dan dink Vlieg mos dat dit definitief nie die verkeerstekens se skuld kan wees nie. Vlieg gee toe dat verkeerstekens deesdae, om die minste te sê, twyfelagtig is. Maar oor daardie brug ry Vlieg elke dag, en elke dag is daar mense wat nie dink nie wat daar verkeerd wil ry — en elke dag sien Vlieg die verkeerstekens wat wys waar om eintlik te draai. As ‘n mens nou regtig bona fide verkeerd gedraai het, moet jy mos dink as jy onder aansluit dat hier nou fout is. Maar dit is nie eintlik oor die gebrek aan dinkery wat Vlieg dié week gedink het nie. Dié week het Vlieg daaroor gedink dat hy lankal reg gedink het daaroor dat iemand nie
reg dink nie. Vlieg dink lankal daaroor of dit reg is om ons maaiers en papies in die skole (en kerke) te leer om te bedel. Sien, Vlieg wil homself bevuil as daar nóg ‘n kollektelysie by die huis aankom. Dit is, ten minste vir Vlieg, asof geld insamel die hooftaak van skole en kerke geword het. Vlieg dink die drie pilare van akademie, sport en kultuur waarop ons skole kwansuis gebou word, het nog ‘n boetie ryker geword… bedel! Vlieg het dit nie noodwendig teen geld insamel nie; selfs Vlieg verstaan begrotings en tekorte en die gebrek aan subsidies. Vlieg is die eerste om te sê dat elkeen nou maar vir homself moet sorg, want die regering sorg lankal nie meer vir ons nie, net vir hulself. Vlieg het dit daarteen dat die maaiers en papies die bedelaars gemaak word. Vlieg betwyfel ten sterkste die opvoedkundige waarde van bedelary. Hoekom het Vlieg nou onlangs weer daaroor gedink en besef dat hy reg gedink het? Omdat Vlieg besef daardie soort opvoedkunde lei nou daartoe dat dieselfde maaiers wat intussen papies geword het en op die vooraand staan van ontsnap, nou ook smiddae op die straathoeke staan en bedel vir hul eie sakke om na die eksamen met vakansie te gaan. Is dit wat die vierde pilaar hulle geleer het? Wat dink jy?
Bulletin Die parlement het oor die nuwe inligtingswet gestem en die media gaan gemuilband word, veral wanneer dit kom by die openbaarmaking van korrupsie deur regeringsamptenare. Wat is jou indrukke hieroor? Marietie Louw-Carstens: Ek dra swart vandag. Ons moet opstaan vir persvryheid. Nadine Henning Vermeulen: Wat help dit? Die regering gaan in elk geval maak en breek net soos hulle wil. Stel nie belang in dit nie, ek kyk ook nie nuus nie, dit maak my te kwaad. Johan Venter: Net nog ‘n manier om hul onderduimse dinge weg te steek. Gordon G Miller: Hulle kan nie die sosiale netwerke stop nie, tot Amerika het probeer. Richard En Julene: Wonder wie se idee was dit in die eerste plek? Seker die grootste skelm onder die lot! Geronimo Apache: Hierdie land het gelukkig ‘n oorvloed grondwet-spesialiste. Ek is oortuig daarvan dat die kwessie suksesvol in die konstitusionele hof aangehoor sal word. Daar is genoeg mense in die ANC wat die grondwet respekteer. Die ANC is paniekerig en bou vir hulself struikelblokke.

New Lifestyle Centre in Tzn gets thumbs up On Wednesday the first visitors to Tzaneen’s new Lifestyle Centre openly showed their approval of the new stores. Our journalists were there and spoke to a few shoppers. Mr Pierre and Ms Brenda Fourie (below left) said: “It’s nice. Checkers looks like a store in Pretoria. Beter as die ander mall, meer parkering. Die opset is oulik met net ‘n paar winkels binne en die res buite.” Mmapowana Masete said: “It’s amazing, exciting, different, eish… I can’t wait to see the other shops when they open. When Ocean Basket comes I’ll be delighted. And this is job creation.” Rixongile Mtebule: “New beginnings, that’s what I think. I am so excited to see all the other shops that will be opening soon. This is the beginning of a great new place.” Sekitla Letsoalo: “I think the new mall is fine and things look cheap, the shoes look glamorous; they should add more shops and a cinema.” Mss Rina and Shelly Jansen: “We think the new Checkers is neat, with nice food and good variety.”

Web site is an instant success
Independent statistics — managed by Google — show that our new interactive and user friendly web site has become an overnight popular cyber space address. The statistics show that so far the most hits (visits) have been made from Polokwane, with Tzaneen in the second place and Mbombela third, followed by Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town. There must be a number of people from our area living in Baltimore in the USA, since the most hits from outside our country come from Baltimore, with Maputo not far behind and London just behind Maputo. A number of unique features of our site also seem to be enjoyed by people. The fact that visitors can instantly link up with any of the other nine newspapers in the LiN Media group of independent newspapers in Limpopo with a click of the mouse, is an obvious hit. This enable visitors to have a quick glance of what is happening in Limpopo, since the LiN Media newspapers’ footprint cover the province. Our “breaking news” feature is also very popular and last week’s running commentary about the horror road accident out-
side Tzaneen — killing four people and injuring two minors — has attracted a record number of visits. Exciting news is that we have obtained the rights to a renowned international weather forecast institution. We should by next week be able to offer on our web site visitors a weather report that is continuously updated. One can in fact sit and watch how the weather changes...! Look out for this special feature. You will never again need to wait for a weather forecast on radio or TV. Yet another brand new feature will be introduced soon, offering the latest about events in our area and the rest of Limpopo. The beauty of this feature is that people would be able to enter certain data pertaining to their dates and events without even having to talk to us! Our archives, offering the opportunity to page through back copies of Bulletin, are being updated and soon it will be possible to go back quite far. All this is by far not the end of the story... more surprises are to be introduced at www.bulletin.us.com. Don’t wait, go and discover a fresh new approach to local news.

Restourasie vorder nou fluks
The ward committee members of Ward 14 in Tzaneen visited the new Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre to have a look at the development, since it is within the boundaries of the ward. Ms Anza van Vuuren, the Councillor, for Ward 14, lead the delegation. She also used the opportunity to dress in black, to show solidarity with journalists, after the government’s decision to push ahead with the Protection of Information Bill. Ms Hanlie Aucamp, Centre Manager, arranged a tour of the Centre. In this photo are Mr Dave Protter and Ms Aucamp at the back, and in front are Mss Mantwa Mukhawane, Van Vuuren and Mr Dirk Stoltz.

Die restourasieprojek wat die geskiedkundige erfenisgebou van die departement van binnelandse sake en die departement van arbeid langs die SA Polisie in Danie Joubert-straat in sy volle glorie moet herstel, vorder fluks. Die bouwerk word baie fyn deur kundiges dopgehou, want die voorskrifte vir die restourasie van geskiedkundige geboue is baie streng. Volgens die beplanning moet die gebou volgende jaar in Mei klaar wees, waarna dit aan die SAPD oorhandig sal word. Verskillende afdelings van die Polisie wat tans elders in Tzaneen gehuisves word, sal dan hierheen verhuis. Die “nuwe” gebou sal ‘n aanwins vir die middedorp wees en sakelui in die omgewing is dankbaar dat die gebou herstel word. Dit was lank ‘n plek vir leeglêers en die rommel op die perseel was erger as ‘n doring in die oog. Die perseel is as openbare toilet gebruik en soms het die stank swaar in die omgewing gehang. Daar was die afgelope week ‘n krisis, toe die omstrede departement van openbare werke nie die bouers betaal het nie, maar die probleem is glo besweer.

Many of the pupils of Tzaneen Primary School know him as Mr Ted. Mr Ted Shu teaches the junior classes music once a week and helps them learn how to read
music notation. But Mr Ted is not just another teacher, he is part of the US Peace Corps (PC) and came all the way from San Diego, California, to teach here. The PC is an American volunteers program that sends volunteers for two years to other countries to work with, amongst others, schools and non-profit organisations.
They have 178 volunteers in SA that are involved in various Aids outreach and schools and community resources projects. Volunteers undergo two months of training when they arrive in a country, to help them to better understand the culture and language of the communities where they will live and work. Shu received training in Siswati, but he was placed in the Tzaneen area where the dominant language is Afrikaans. So he decided to start learning the language. He used teaching material for Gr 1’s and started listening when people spoke, occasionally asking them to translate a word for him. After a year he is surprisingly fluent in Afrikaans and about half of our interview was conducted in Afrikaans. At the moment he teaches at Rooikoppies in Magoebaskloof and Tzaneen Primary. He also does some
work for the ProGroup Foundation (working with victims of abuse). Shu has been in SA since January 2010 and in the Tzaneen area since June last year. He will be going back in March. He was a music major at California Polytechnic State University and has been playing musical instruments since he was ten years old. His main instrument is the clarinet, but he also plays the piano and French horn. He joined the PC because he wanted to do volunteer work and travel, experience other cultures and continue doing what he enjoyed. His favourite SA food is skaapskenkel-potjie. Experience has taught him that even though to work is important, family and friends and one’s culture is what sustains you. When he gets back home he’d like to continue his studies.

Tegniese probleme hou krag langer af Sondag se kragonderbreking het die meeste Tzaneeners (veral krieketkykers) onverhoeds betrap, toe die onderbreking minstens drie ure langer as die bestemde tyd geduur het. Pleks van 14:00 het die krag eers omstreeks 17:00 aangegaan. Tegniese probleme wat nie vooraf verwag is nie, het die GTM se werkspanne se werksaamhede aan die netwerk vertraag. Mnr Pierre van den Heever, die direkteur van elektroteg-
niese dienste van die GTM, sê die nuwe oorhoofse kraglyn om die dorp het op sekere plekke met ander lyne gekruis, en die krag moes afgeskakel bly totdat die raakpunte suksesvol oorgesteek is. Hy voorsien nie verdere onderbrekings van so ‘n groot omvang alvorens die nuwe netwerk voluit in werking sal kom nie. Dit sal beperk wees tot enkele gebiede wat heelwat minder ongerief sal veroorsaak.

Die inwoners van God’s Haven Bejaardesorgsentrum in Tzaneen het ‘n vroeë Kersgeskenk ontvang, toe heerlike Kerskoeke (bemark deur die Lions) deur Barend Lombard, ‘n gr 6-leerling van die Laerskool Tzaneen, aan hulle geskenk is. Hy het besluit om met sy sakgeld die koeke te koop en dit aan ouetehuise in die dorp te skenk. Sy doel was om aan die bejaardes te bewys dat daar nog mense is wat aan hulle dink. Lombard het sewentien koeke gekoop, na ‘n kompetisie wat hy by die skool gehou het. Hy het die koeke tussen God’s Haven en die Macadamia Hoësorgeenheid in Tzaneen se inwoners verdeel. Hier gee hy me Laura Meyer, een van die inwoners van God’s Haven, ‘n lekker drukkie, terwyl me Regina Nolen toekyk. Foto: Retha Nel

Vrydag 25 November 2011
Die volgende vier Sondae is in baie kerke bekend as Adventsondae. Dit is die vier Sondae voor Kersdag waarop aandag gegee word aan Kersdag wat nader kom. Baie gemeentes hou Kerssangdienste in hierdie tyd. Vir sommige kinders wat hierdie week al klaar gemaak het met die eksamen het die lang Kersvakansie aangebreek. Ons hoor die advertensies wat vertel van Boney M wat Suid-Afrika in Desember besoek, met hul Kersmusiek. Kersversierings blink in die winkels... Uit alle oorde raak ons bewus van Kersfees. In die sewentiende eeu het daar `n Duitser — Angelus Silesius — geleef, wat rympies geskryf het oor die dieper dinge van die lewe. Sy rympie oor Kersfees lees so:
Gewetenloosheid Interne spanning is besig om soos ‘n tydbom in die ANC te tik. Die jongste spanning gaan oor twee kamerade wat dit durf waag het om volgens hul gewete teen die drakoniese wet wat regeringsinligting moet beskerm (teen die media) te stem. Gewete is uit by die ANC, slaafse partylojaliteit is in. Maar dit maak volkome sin dat die party — of sommige in die party, nie almal nie — nou byna histeries reageer op ‘n ieder en ‘n elk wat die wet teengaan. Die wet se hoofdoel is mos duidelik: die gewetenloosheid waarmee belastinggeld op weeldemotors gemors word, uitspattige hotelverblyf, onnodige oorsese reise, die skaamtelose bevoordeling van familie en vriende en die blatante korrupsie moet beskerm word. Die minister van staatsveiligheid is tog op rekord dat hy gesê het daar is niks wat ons land se veiligheid bedreig nie. Net om kort-om te spring en kaalvuis vir die kamtige noodsaaklikheid van die wet te baklei! Dinsdag was inderdaad ‘n kwade dag, ‘n boosaardigheid in ons jong demokrasie. Dit sal futiel wees om te dink dit gaan nie elkeen van ons raak nie. Ons word soos lammers ter slagting gelei.

Vreedsame rewolusie
Bernard Nel van Aquapark, Tzaneen, skryf: Met die vreedsame rewolusie van die vroee 90’s het die Nasionale Party baie gou in vergetelheid verval en irrelevant geword. Kortbroek Van Schalkwyk en ander het vir hulself snoesige werkies tussen hul nuwe kamerade losgeslaan. Politici kan in elk geval nie werk kry waar hoë morele waardes en gerespekteerde etiese kodes geld nie. Die tradisionele kerke van die Afrikaner aan die ander kant het in ‘n identiteitskrisis verval, weens die politieke mat wat onder hulle uitgepluk is met die heengaan van die Nasionale Party. In ‘n vinnig groeiende sekulêre omgewing het hierdie hiërargiese kerke die een na die ander flater begaan en as gevolg daarvan sit hulle nou met ‘n klomp kwessies wat hulle verhoed om sinvol geestelik te groei en te lei. Die probleem met Christen-sektes is dat almal aandring op ‘n feitelik, eksklusiewe interpretasie van die Bybel. Voordat die prokureurtjie in sy koffie verstik, sekte beteken klein afsplintergroep van die hoofliggaam. ‘n Goeie verklarende woordeboek behoort die ding te doen en nie hoorsê nie. Dit beteken in realiteit dat alle kerke sektes is. Ek en ‘n paar vriende van my het die naweek by die dam deurgebring. Ons het genoeg drinkgoed gehad om ons teen die hitte te beskerm. Namate die Black Labels en die Klipdrift sy werk begin doen het, het die vernis van ons klomp begin afdop. Ek kon later nie meer onderskeid tref tussen dopper, jehowa, gatjieponder ensovoorts nie.

Let wel: Hulle sê nie so nie!
• Die pasiënt in die ambulans wat sonder petrol gaan staan het, het gelukkig ‘n ‘n blikkie Zambuk byderhand gehad, wat kon help keer dat die bloeddruk nie by die ventilasiewaaier in die dak uit is nie... • Nou loop die stories oor die lugvaartondersoek so dick dat dit die lugruim bokant die Letaba Vliegveld kan besoedel. En soos dit die vliegbedryf betaam, het almal nou vlerkies en is die duiwel nie in sig nie... • Die arme vrou wat so siek in die kop is dat sy dink sy’s gesond, skryf nou briefies op groot stukke papier en pos dit dan in Polokwane. Maar toe vergeet sy daar’s ‘n stempel op die ou gebruikte koevert se agterkant, wat haar verraai. Sy glo sy’s so skerp sy kan ‘n man opkerf. Sny man, sny...
ernstig begin raak en kerk begin praat. Ons het op die volgende besluit, tydens ons singende sitting: Ons dink die Satan is nou die duiwel in vir almal wat sy bestaan in twyfel trek. Ons gaan van nou af na elke doop dop en as die baba nie kan drink nie sal ons sy kwota drink as sou hy volwasse wees. Seks bly lekker en dit maak nie saak of dit voor, tydens of na die huwelik is nie. Al die holruggeryde opmerkings oor die moffies se voorkeure raak ook nou vervelig. Los hulle, laat hulle hulle uitleef soos hulle wil. Sommige lidmate is meer gelyk as ander, veral die met dik beursies en baie mag. Apartheid se afsterwe gaan nog baie kerke se ondergang beteken. Die versmaaiing van medegelowiges is immoreel en moet onmiddelik gestaak word. Geloof is ‘n doolhof van interpretasies en die kans dat jy of met jou voet in jou mond gaan sit of ‘n landmyn gaan aftrap, is baie goed. Die enigste maatstaf is doen aan ander wat jy aan jou self gedoen wil hê. As die Bybel geskryf was soos Vlieg se bakkie se eienaarshandleiding sou almal dit kon lees en verstaan en dit is nie die bedoeling nie. Verdeel en regeer is aan die orde van die dag. Die probleem met die tradisionele kerke is dat die oorhoofse beheer nie goed is vir individuele ontwikkeling nie. Kerke soos Dinamus en Shekinah House is meer “suksesvol” omdat hulle die hedendaagse kwessies beter verstaan en beter kommunikeer met mense wat nie ‘n hoë sosiale status het nie. Dit is slegs ‘n mening en ‘n mening kan nooit verhef word tot feit nie. Ek ondersteun nie gemelde kerke se lerings nie, behalwe as hulle liefde onvoorwaardelik uitleef. Ek het simpatie met die tradisionele kerke se kwessies. Die vraag wat beantwoord moet word is nie of ‘n kwessie wettig of onwettig is nie, maar of dit reg of verkeerd is. Geregtigheid moet altyd seëvier. Beoordeel my op wat ek sê en nie van wie ek dit sê nie.
Keelvol vir ape
Yvonne du Toit, Posbus 357, Tzaneen, skryf: Ek is op `n daaglikse basis in kon-
tak met lede van die publiek en dit is baie duidelik dat `n ieder en ‘n elk keelvol is vir die ape in en om Tzaneen. Ek wil weet waar kry die Blou-aapstigting “ex-lab”-ape vandaan? Waar wil hulle die troppe vrylaat waarvoor hulle grond soek? Onlangs het iemand gekla oor die skade wat `n trop ape agterlaat wanneer hulle deur `n kwekery trek. Hier is genoeg groepe in Tzaneen wat kan saamstaan teen die loslaattroppe van Blou-ape in ons omgewing. Tuinbouklubs, Orgidieeklub, Eko-klub, voël- en boomkykers wat tog almal in die natuur belangstel. As mense nie saamstaan nie, gaan die skade uiteindelik onberekenbaar word. Omdat daar nie meer veel natuurlike vyande oorbly nie, was hierdie ape vryelik aan in die natuur. Uit `n artikel wat ek gelees het bereik blou-ape vroeër volwassenheid in aanhouding. Die druk op die natuurlike voëllewe en ander klein gewerwelde diere word net groter. Niemand wil al die ape van die aarde verwyder nie ,maar daar moet beheer toegepas word. Volgens `n brief in Bulletin is daar tans 570 blou-ape in aanhouding. Dit sluit in wesies, beseerde, mishandelde ex-troeteldiere, en ex-lab-ape. Hierdie diere kan na my mening nie weer in die natuur vrygelaat word nie en grens dit vir my aan dieremishandeling. Nadat ek begin Facebook het, het ek agtergekom dat blou ape regoor die land `n ernstige probleem word. In Vrouekeur 16 September lees ek toevallig die volgende raak: “Ek het ook `n spul hoenders en lieflike skou-eendjies. Ongelukkig steel die ape deesdae hul eiers en dis nogal `n storie” —die woorde van `n bekende sanger woonagtig op `n landgoed digby Pretoria. Ek het Natuurbewaring gevra of blou-ape geskiet kan word en hulle het bevestigend geantwoord. `n Permit is egter nodig, soos vir die skiet van enige ander wilde dier. Omgewingskundiges sal moet wakker word, om `n ekologiese ramp te voorkom.
Lekker by die kerk Henna Minnaar van Letsitele skryf: Letsitele NG gemeente se Kerskuiermark het toe baie goed afgeskop, met ‘n klomp uitstallers met
En al word Christus `n duisend maal in Betlehem gebore en nie in jou nie dan bly jy verlore.
Dit is wonderlik dat ons uit so baie oorde herinner word aan Kersfees. Kom ons onthou dat ons self die krip moet wees, waarin die herders en die wyses van vandag Christus moet kan sien. Mooi naweek! mooi en interessante stalletjies, ‘n baie gepaste opening deur ds Barry van der Merwe en ‘n heerlike teetuin met lekker kuiertafeltjies en ‘n gerieflike sit-area onder die bome met sagte banke. Oral het die wit vlae gewapper, asof hulle die mense wou nader roep. Aanvanklik was van die feesgangers verbaas dat hulle toegangsgeld moes betaal — maar ook net tot hulle besef het hulle kry as kwitansie ‘n “Welkom-sakkie” met produkte en geskenkies wat ver meer werd was as die paar rand se ingangsgeld. En dan was daar nog volop parkering ook, sowel as sekuriteitswagte om die motors op te pas. Ongeveer 10:00 en weer 15:00 is baie interessante kosdemonstrasies aangebied, deur dames wat wéét hoe. Daar was demonstrasies oor oa vingerkos vir partytjies, en die gebruik van die produkte van die borge (Spekko-rys, Miami se uitstekende “Boerie Relish” en verskillende olies van Westfalia). Die stalletjies het porseleinpoppe, loodglas-lampe en dergelike items, juwele, skilderye, kinderklere, mooi teenette, ‘n verskeidenheid Kersgeskenkies, handgemaakte glasware, inspirerende houtspreuke, geborduurde artikels, houtfigure, handgemaakte geleentheidskaartjies, skoonheidsprodukte, ‘n verskeidenheid kinderspeelgoed, lekkergoed, beskuit, eksklusiewe damesklere, mampoer en wyn (ja, ons kerk is bydertyds), biltongkerwers, muurbehangsels, tafeldoeke, ens bevat. En waarop die gemeentedames baie trots was: die “Engelfabriek” waar allerhande gewilde handgemaakte speel-, eet-, drink- en huishoudelike items gekoop kon word. Buite die amfiteater was die uitstalling van die nuwe Volkswagen Amarok. Dit was ‘n groot aantrekkingskrag vir die manne. Die kinders ouer as vyf is weer besig gehou by ‘n graffiti-muur waarop hulle na hartelus kon verf, asook ‘n aparte tafel waar die jongspan mosaïek-, krale- en verfwerk kon doen. Die kerk se besondere klein kapel kon ook besoek word vir stiller oomblikke met gewyde musiek. ‘n Moderne “band” van Pretoria het die gaste kom vermaak, terwyl almal die heerlike kos of ander lekkernye kon geniet. Saterdag was dit baie bedrywig en ons was bly en dankbaar dat die mense van omliggende dorpe ook kom meedoen het aan die gesellige kuier. Nou kon almal ook ons besondere kerkkompleks met die betonglasvensters, kapel, gedenktuin en mooi tuin besoek en waardeer. Die atmosfeer was besonder gesellig en die geleentheid het reg laat geskied aan die naam van kuier terwyl jy inkopies doen vir Kersfees. Wonder jy nog waarom Letsitele se lidmate sê dis lekker by die kerk? Dit is voorwaar lekker. Hou die pers dop vir volgende jaar se Kerskuiermarkdatum en teken dit betyds aan.

Traditional healing and the best chicken ever, waiting in Nkowa² If you are looking for an interesting, enriching, fun activity to do with friends or family, now is the time to think out of the box and go for a village tour in Nkowankowa on the outskirts of Tzaneen. Sure, you might be wondering what on earth I’m going on about. Truth be told, I’ve had the opportunity to go on township tours to Soweto many times, but always declined — because it’s just too dangerous. Right? Not so, I recently found out. Well, I can’t realy speak for Soweto, but a tour to Nkowankowa is definitely worth your while when you are looking for a stimulating and safe new experience. You might think that there is nothing worthwhile seeing or visiting in a village or that perhaps you already know everything important there is to know about life in the rural parts of our country. But: have you ever been to a san-
goma? Have you ever had pap and chicken at a street café in a village? Have you ever dressed as a traditional Shangaan? Too scared to try? James Ndhlovu, an experienced tour guide from Woodsmoke Heritage Tours will gladly introduce you to the wonders and simple pleasures of village life in the rural parts of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality. We were recently treated to a tour to the Nkowankowa kraal of the famous sangoma, Never Die. Although he passed away a few years ago, his legacy lives on through his five wives who continue his work. James introduced us to the fascinating way in which this traditional healing practice is organised and operated. He showed us the bones the sangoma throws to determine the customer’s ailment, whilst giving us a basic explanation of what the different components mean to the interpreter. After learning about the ‘African stethoscope’, as James calls it, we were dressed in traditional Shangaan clothing in the ‘ndumba’ hut. We stood frozen as the women bustled around us, softly talking in Shangaan, seemingly deciding on what beads would go best with which ‘lap’ and skirt — whilst arranging beaded bands on our heads. What a sight for sore eyes, we made! Brightly dressed we felt
like real Shangaans for just a moment and really got into the spirit of the day; each one clutching a drum under one arm. These new experiences and the walk to and from Never Die’s kraal left us ready for a hearty meal. Where to go? As a fussy eater I can say with conviction that Miami Chickens in Nkowankowa serves the best and freshest braaied chicken I’ve ever had — even topping my Oom Coenie’s special chicken braai… Served directly off the coals you will be hard done to find a fresher option than this, where only a few hours ago lunch was still clucking away in the back yard. For a real cultural experience, make a note to visit the wealth of interesting stop-overs in the rural areas of the Greater Tzaneen. — LiN News/Kruger2Canyon

Small can also work in farming The National Development Plan (of Minister Trevor Manuel) paints the big picture. But small can also work. Here in Limpopo, with our largely rural community, benign climate and fertile soils, we could well lead the way for the future development of traditional agriculture as a means to enhance food security and create employment. We need the resources from national or provincial government to develop traditional agriculture, and the benefits would far outweigh the costs. If small-scale farming were to be given the status it deserves, these would be the priorities: Land tenure systems should be improved.

A way of life would be established and communities would develop a sense of responsibility as custodians of the environment. Starting at school level, young people who choose agriculture as a career should be able to learn the necessary skills. They should be able to further their studies at State-subsidised agricultural colleges or at universities with agricultural faculties. There should also be opportunities for on-the-job training by extension officers from local and provincial government. Rural agricultural centres should be provided with proper

infrastructure in the form of roads, dams, irrigation canals and electricity. Farmers should receive access to machinery such as tractors, ploughs, planters and spray machines from a central workshop. Such equipment could be hired at subsidised rates. Farmers should also receive guidance and advice on improvement of crops and livestock. The state should provide seasonal credit for fertilizers and spray material, and support in research and extension. Co-operative markets could be established in the larger centres where produce could be sold to residents. The direct benefits of traditional agriculture to the economy are easily identified: Successful small-scale farmers would produce crops and vegetables in excess of their families’ requirements and these could be sold cheaply to the local community. Farmers who grew products that could be processed would provide raw materials to factories, thus stimulating industrial development. For example, timber for furniture making, or green mangoes for atchar. Farmers, apart from providing a livelihood to their own families, would very likely require seasonal labour to harvest their crops and this would mean further employment opportunities in the community. Finally, these farmers would contribute towards food security by earning of foreign exchange through exports and the saving of foreign exchange by limiting food imports.

Fast Facts McLaren MP4-12C
McLaren F1 Following the 1988 Italian Grand Prix, the McLaren executive team found themselves discussing the company’s future, while waiting for their flight at Milan airport. The conversation turned to building the ultimate sport car. At the time, the supercar market was dominated by exciting, but sometimes temperamental, Italian cars. It was a challenge that proved too tempting to resist. McLaren Automotive Chairman Ron Dennis explains: “The more we discussed it, the more it appealed to me. It would not be easy – which made it interest me even more – and one thing that can be certain: if McLaren was going to build a sports car, it would have to be not only the finest sports car the world had ever seen, but also the finest sports car the world was ever going to see.”
The vision for the MP4-12C was to make a sports car that was lightweight ‘and’ strong. Fast ‘and’ efficient. Comfortable ‘and’ exhilarating. With intelligent design, conventional compromises could be avoided. Because the design started from scratch with no carry-over parts from previous cars to cloud the McLaren vision, they had freedom to design without compromise. While ultimately more challenging, it allowed them to put convention to one side and innovate, from the ground up. Every switch, dial and component is bespoke to their own specification, meeting obsessively high standards. The MP4-12C is the result of 45 years of learning, from their first 1964 racing car, to the carbon fibre breakthroughs of their sports cars, the F1 and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The 12C is the first car in its class to offer carbon fibre framework at its core. At less than 80kg, the Carbon MonoCell is 25% lighter than conventional all-aluminium frames, and significantly stiffer. This carbon fibre structure contributes significantly to the 12C’s overall low weight.
Developing a car that would outperform its rivals in every significant way would require a totally new approach to both design and construction. When the first plans were submitted to the board, one phrase was highlighted: no compromise. For a decade, the F1 was the finest supercar ever built, one that only McLaren could have made. It’s still the benchmark by which all other supercars are judged; the ultimate example of no compromise engineering. It takes 10 hours to build the average family car. Each McLaren F1 took three and a half months. That’s because we insisted on levels of hand built, bespoke contraction that was unheard of, even for high-performance vehicles. To be light enough to meet our targets, we made the
The 12C is powered by a McLaren twin-turbocharged, 3.8 litre V8 engine – the M838T. McLaren feels that his smaller capacity, smaller weight, higher efficiency and more economical power unit marks the start of a new era for sports cars. This engine has the highest specific power output in its class, and when combined with the lightweight carbon MonoCell, produces a powerto-weight ratio that is exemplary. With abundant torque throughout the 8,500rpm rev range, 80% of the M838T engine’s torque is available below 2,000rpm, for example acceleration at any speed. Thanks to McLaren’s ground-breaking Proactive Chassis Control, the MP412C doesn’t need a heavy, mechanical anti-roll bar. This, combined with the incredible torsional rigidity of the Carbon
toolkit from titanium, and we cut the Connolly leather for the seats in special lightweight 0.7mm sections. Then, because gold was the best possible heat insulation material for the engine bay, we insulated it with 24-carat gold foil. The F1 is a unique driving experience thanks to a suite of pioneering design features, including the use of lightweight carbon composites, never used before on a sports car. Also, a unique central driving position was adopted for optimum visibility and perfect weight balance. The F1 soon reached a higher top speed than the Formula 1 cars that inspired it:

Aveo in the manufacturer’s local line-up. It’s fresh styling will certainly be a hit amongst the ladies as well as those that are conscious of their appearence. Power is generated by either a 1,4- or a 1,6-litre petrol engine, both mated with five-
speed manual gearbox. The 1,4-litre churns out 74 kW at 6 000 revs/ min and 130 Nm of torque at 4 000 revs/min. It’s fuel consumption is recorded at 5,8 litres/100 km on the combined cycle. The 1,6-litre delivers 85 kW at 6 000 revs/ min and 155 Nm of torque and consumes 6,5
litres/100 km. According to Chevrolet much development and effort went into the Sonic’s sophisticated cabin and ride quality, which is an improvement on the Aveo. Prices are expected to start at R155 000 for the 1,4 LS and R168 000 for the 1,6 LS.

New Mercedes ML Honda’s tourer lures the adventurer destined for SA’s shores in mid 2012 Mercedes-Benz’s tuning division, AMG, has given the ML the full treatment. The recently revealed ML63 AMG is fitted with a new 5,5-litre V8 engine and sprints to 100 km/h in under five seconds. The standard engine, fitted with a biturbo, pushes out 386 kW and 700 Nm of torque. With the AMG Performance Package these numbers increase to 410 kW and 760 Nm. There’s not much difference in the sprint to 100 km/h, 4,7 and 4,6 seconds respectively. Despite its high output, Mercedes attempted to keep the emissions level and fuel consumption as low as possible and equipped it with a stop/start system. Drive is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission. There are three driving programmes – controlled efficiency, sport and manual – each with their own benefits. With the AMG kit, 20 inch five spoke wheels and low stance, the ML63 AMG looks powerful and aggressive. The interior is commanded by a four spoke AMG steering wheel, aluminum shift paddles, aluminum trim elements and leather upholstery. The new M-Class will reach SA in the first half of 2012.
Sales figures for dual purpose touring bikes have climbed considerably in the last few years and it has become more important to the adventurers to break away from the city. Honda went back to the drawing board and came up with a new, cost effective solution: the VFR800X Crossrunner. But how does the new Crossrunner differ from the old VFR800? Under their skins they are the same motorcycles: engine, main frame, suspension and swingarm look similar. It is in the styling that a new fresh look greets you. It possesses functionality and a purposeful look. The biggest change is the upright riding position. The low, comfortable seat and wide, raised handlebars give the Crossrunner comfort. The V4 engine is a jewel and provides more lowdown torque than an in-line four, but adds a lot of revs and power once the VTEC system kicks in at 6 500 revs/ min. The snarl of the exhaust echoes the performance of the four valves per cylinder.
Honda has done well with the calibrating of the fuelling and valve timing, and every change-over is smoother and more acceptable to the rider. Braking performance is very impressive with the good power and feel of the ABS. The linked system makes the bike feel stable under braking. The handling feels surefooted. Fuel range is quoted to be close to 400 km from a 21,5-litre tank and offroad ability is limited by the street tyres and road biased suspension. The best feature of the new Crossrunner is that it shows you new and wonderful places in absolute comfort. After a long ride, there are no aches and pains associated with sportsbike riding. Touring on this bike is effortless and fun. Fast Facts Price: R109 999 Engine: 782 cm3, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 16-valve, DOHC, V4 Power: 74,9 kW at 10 000 r/min Torque: 72,8 Nm at 9 500 r/min Transmission: six-speed Suspension front: 43 mm telescopic forks with preload adjustment, 108 mm axle travel Suspension rear: Pro-link with gascharged damper, 119 mm axle travel Fuel capacity: 21,5 litres.

Tzaneen is Limpopo-kampioen sport@bulletin.us.com
Die Tzaneen Buiteklub se gholfspan het Saterdag die Limpopo-liga in Polokwane gewen, toe hulle ’n sterk span van Soutpansberg geklop het. Dit was ’n gelykopstryd, maar Tzaneen het aan die einde van die dag die knoop met ’n telling van 9-7 deurgetrek. Al Limpopo se gholfklubs neem aan die liga deel en dit is ’n merkwaardige prestasie deur Tzaneen om twintig ander klubs uit te stof. Tzaneen het in die Mopani-liga met Phalaborwa, Hoedspruit en Tzaneen 2 afgereken. In die halfeindronde by Kameeldoring het Tzaneen met die wenners van die suidstreek afgereken. Henk Geldenhuys (kaptein) het sy span geluk gewens en vir die volgehoue harde werk deur die seisoen bedank. REGS: Die span bestaan uit Thys du Toit, Henk Geldenhuys en Gerrit Smit. Agter staan Garth Stevens, George Bezuidenhout, Connie Goedschalk, Johan Coetzee en Henry Schoonraad. Foto: Voorsien
Plasie-gholfdag môre gehou Die Hoërskool Merensky bied môre ’n gholfdag by die Tzaneen Buiteklub aan. Daar is nog plekke oop vir diegene wat ’n kans wil staan om in die hope pryse te deel. ’n Heerlike naweek in eksotiese Mosambiek en vele meer is op die spel. Inskrywings is R140 per persoon of sakeondernemings kan ’n vierbal inskryf. Die geleentheid kan ook gebruik word om hul diens of produk by ’n putjie vir R1 000 te bemark. Skakel die sportkantoor by 015 306 7901/2 of mnr Stefan Nawrattel by 072 196 2812.
Ben Vorster na prestige Plasie-broers doen dit weer rugbytoernooi in 2012 genooi by Lim-kampioenskappe Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het vandeesweek nog ’n mylpaal op die gebied van sport behaal, toe hul eerste rugbyspan van 2012 na die Wildeklawer Rugbytoernooi in Kimberley genooi is. Die toernooi word hoog in SA se rugbykringe aangeskryf en word beskou as ’n ideale geleentheid om blootstelling aan spelers te gee wat in die toekoms ’n groot rol gaan speel op provinsiale en nasionale vlak. Die toernooi word by die Hoërskool Diamantveld gehou. Skole wat hulself bewys om per uitnodiging aan die prestige toernooi te kan deelneem, word genooi. Dit is dus ’n groot eer wat Ben Vorster te beurt val en volgens mnr
Piet Swart, Ben Vorster se hoof, is die organiseerders baie opgewonde om die Vossies te verwelkom. Wildeklawer is daarop gerig om rugby op grondvlak, deur sosiale samesyn en kameraderie, te bevorder. Ben Vorster sal hulle in die geselskap van makro skole, soos Waterkloof, Affies, Grey Kollege, Monument en Paarl Gimnasium bevind. Alhoewel die Vossies ’n groot skool is, het hulle reeds met makro skole in die verlede te doen gekry en hulle baie goed van hul taak gekwyt. Wat Wildeklawer ook beïndruk het, is die welslae wat Ben Vorster met transformasie in veral rugby geniet het. Die toernooi is van 27 April tot 2 Mei.
Die twee Varriebroers, Timothy en Samuel, van die Hoërskool Merensky het die naweek aan die Limpopo Tweekampkampioenskappe deelgeneem en skoonskip in hul onderskeie ouderdomsgroepe gemaak. Samuel was die wenner in die o.17groep en ouboet Timothy die wenner in die o.19-groep.
Timothy en Samuel Varrie is hier in aksie tydens ’n tweekampbyeenkoms vroeër vanjaar. Foto’s voorsien
