The year is drawing to a close and Christmas is but a few days away. For some the year has been a good one and for some perhaps not so good. We would like to thank all our loyal advertisers and readers for their continued support
Die einde van die jaar kom nader en Kersfees is net ‘n paar dae ver. Die jaar was vir sommige goed, vir ander dalk minder goed. Ons wil graag al ons lojale adverteerders en lesers vir hul volgehoue ondersteuning bedank
Die Kersvader wat die Tzaneng Mall besoek, het die afgelope week groot aftrek gekry. Maar al die kinders was nie juis ingenome met die toedrag van sake nie!

Daar is net geen einde aan die selfsug en onbedagsaamheid van Tzaneen se motoriste nie, wat parkeerplekke vir gestremdes totaal en al minag. Maar daar is ook geen einde aan ons vasbeslotenheid om dit gereeld aan die groot klok te hang nie en ons gaan volgende jaar dit ‘n
stappie verder neem en die foto’s so neem dat die oortreders se registrasenommers sigbaar is. Dalk is daar darem nog iets soos skaamte by mense... Die foto is die afgelope week by die nuwe Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre geneem, waar parkering nie regtig skaars is nie...
Afsim offers yet another new aid
Test day of a drivers license is one of the most dreaded days of anyone’s driving training. To help learner drivers prepare for this big day, Afsim now have a step by step guide on DVD, that is used in addition to the simulator lessons. The DVD reflects precisely what the learner driver can expect on the day. Its content covers every aspect of the K53 Drivers’ Licence test as stipulated by law. From pre-trip inspection, yard test and road test, the DVD shows how to do it all. The DVD is used as a guideline, especially if a learner is struggling in a particular area he/she can reflect back on the DVD. The DVD is not a replacement of the simulator, but is used in conjunction with the simulator to get better results. Afsim have permanently relocated to Oasis Mall near the Spar in Aqua Park, Tzaneen. They can be contacted on 079 726 9997.

SAPS mum on new police station The SAPS Media Centre in Pretoria is still mum on information regarding the new police station in Letsitele, where a huge amount of over-expenditure is believed to have occurred over a period of six years, as was reported in the Bulletin four weeks ago. The SAPS Media Centre was approached
for information on the amount for the initial contract, the names of the contractors and the factors which caused delays that led to some R40 million escalation in the cost. The inquiry was passed on to different sections and ended up in the office of an inspectorate involved with new police offices.

Leon van Veenhuyzen: Ek het nie ’n probleem as mense vuurwerke skiet nie, maar neem die diere in ag. Skiet jou vuurwerke op ’n plek wat jy nie iemand of diere kan hinder nie. Wees verantwoordlik met vuurwerke. Vicky Van Deventer Smith: Dis nie ons wat daaronder ly nie, dis die diere! Sonja Pienaar: Ek dink vuurwerke is mooi, maar soos almal sê, skiet op ’n plek waar diere nie naby is nie. Waar, weet ek nie. Susan Bosch: Stem saam, VERBAN ALLE VUURWERKE! Jw Equipment: Ek dink mense moet ’n parkie of veld kry waar geskiet kan word, ek kry ook die diere jammer in die dorpe. Sampie en Alida Liversage: Klappers en vuurwerke moet verban word, selfs by die skouterrein in die dorp. Die diere kan dit nie hanteer nie. Anne-marie Strydom: Ja asb, as jul wil skiet, doen dit weg van die diere af en moenie dat kinders dit hanteer nie! Maritha Fourie Theron: Ek voorsien hierdie jaar weer baie beseerde diere wat weghardloop. Mense gee eenvoudig nie om nie. As hulle wil vuurwerke afsit, kry starlights. Vir al wat ek omgee kan die skip wat die goed land inbring, sink. Caroline Blessie: I have never used them, will try not to. Many have lost eye sight, fingers, houses burnt down etc. Melanie Brass: Net jammer hier in Tzaneen is nie ‘n “ver plekkie” van diere af nie... Chris Pretorius: My honde jag saam met my, so hulle is gewoond aan geweerskote. Skiet maar klappers. As die mense se diere so bang is, vat hulle SPCA toe vir die naweek, maar moet asb nie diere seer maak deur klappers in hulle te wil druk nie! Geseënde Kersfees en voorspoed vir 2012!

Jong model kry SA’s Jeanné-mari de Jonge, ‘n twaalfjarige leerling van die Laerskool Tzaneen, het nasionale kleure in die onlangse Modelcup nasionale kampioenskappe verwerf. Modelwerk word sedert 2005 as ‘n sport erken en het ses afdelings waarin deelnemers kan wedywer. De Jonge het in Oktober Limpopo-kleure in al ses afdelings verwerf en Limpopo toe by die nasionale kampioenskappe gaan verteenwoordig, waar The Letaba’s river bank has become too crowded for new mechanics to work on vehicles (and dump oil and other materials in the river), so they opened a “branch” under the R71 overhead bridge in Agatha Street (next to the Spur). This photo showing the new workshop was taken on Monday. What are the law enforcement officers in Tzaneen doing? Are they blind? Or is it a matter of a free for all in a society
sy nasionale kleure in vier afdelings verwerf het. Sy is ‘n reserwe vir een van die afdelings. Sy was ook ‘n finalis vir die Modelhunt International-kompetisie wat terselfdertyd gehou is en het agtste gekom, in die ouderdomsgroep 12-15. Sy het ook twee ekstra toekennings gewen. De Jonge bedank al haar ondersteuners en borge, asook almal wat haar onselfsugtig met haar “cupcake”verkope ondersteun het.
that has become completely lawless? RIGHT BOTTOM: And parking is no problem either, provided that there is a traffic circle available... This photo was also taken on Monday, at the new Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre. Glaring traffic offences have become the order of the day and many motorists seem to simply ignore the rules of the road, showing no respect for other road users. What a sad state of affairs!
Traffic is past redemption Francois Aucamp
francois@bulletin.us.com
Today’s South Africa is by and large crisis managed, or at the worst not managed at all. The same goes for some of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s departments, that is to say the traffic department, the department responsible for promoting tourism in the area, the department responsible for exercising control over the informal trade in Tzaneen town, the department responsible for monitoring damage to street signs, the deterioration of streets and pavements, the neglect of parks and public places etc. Two of the worst non-performers are traffic and whoever is supposed to control the town’s invasion by informal traders. We are not per se against the informal trade (also referred to as hawkers). Not at all. However, the fact that they are not being controlled properly is unacceptable. Add to this that the town does not offer sufficient ablution facilities for informal traders and that basic health regulations are not being applied. The dangers are in the health risk that are being tempted daily, the fact that ill discipline is being promoted by the local authority and finally that formal traders could sooner or later (rather sooner than later) decide that the disgraceful discrimination against the formal trade must be stopped. The spiritless (usually not spirits-less!) social business club — who have the audacity of calling themselves a chamber of commerce — is not in a position to do anything about the abuse by informal traders. And to add insult to injury this apartheid style club is not representative of business in Tzaneen. They thus have no real voice and hardly any influence over the local authority’s policy making elements. Be this as it may. We need to address the lack of vision of the GTM’s traffic department, as well as the lack of law enforcement where and when it really matters. Has the town’s traffic chief not yet thought of the major changes on the R71 resulting from robots being installed where we used to have either nothing, or at the most stop streets? Has he not considered the narrowing of the R71 to cause confusion and possible traffic disorder? Has he taken cognisance of the fact that motorists coming in from the west are no longer allowed to turn in to the right at the Sasol filling station or to turn out to the right from the same filling station? (It is in any event incomprehensible why this has been done before the road works haven’t been finalised and before the new filling station on the opposite side of the road is not operating yet) Does he ever get off his back seat and inspect the poor state of affairs regarding traf-
fic signs and street names in Tzaneen, Limpopo’s second biggest town? Does he ever get off his seat to see what his men and women are doing when they are out to patrol the streets and the roads? Does he ever sit down and think about the traffic chaos caused by huge trucks trying to wind through Tzaneen’s streets, especially the very narrow main street? Has he ever thought of the damage to the streets caused by these huge trucks? Obviously not. We considered asking for an interview with the traffic chief, but since he arrogantly showed us the door— figuratively speaking — at a previous occasion, we decided not to approach him for his views. His attitude is that he does not report to the media, neither to the public (who pay his salary). Suffice it to say that Tzaneen is practically without a sensible traffic plan, and the enforcement of the traffic rules that really matter, is non-existent. It is indeed a sad state of affairs...
3 The people standing next to the delivery truck are believed to be the occupants who escaped unharmed, when the truck overturned on the R36 between Tzaneen and Nkowankowa last week Wednesday. The police could not comment on what had caused the accident before our deadline, as they were awaiting an accident report. Photo: Beaunice Mnisi

Die provinsiale LUR van landbou, me Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba, was een van die sprekers. Dit word beskou as ‘n merkwaardige prestasie dat dié aanleg binne sewe maande voltooi kon word, ondanks die onverwagse dood van mnr Lafras Mouton, die ingenieur verbonde aan die bouwerk, in ‘n motorongeluk op Kersdag verlede jaar.

Mathale het benadruk dat geen opkomende boer ‘n kans op sukses en die uitvoermarkte het sonder om hulle te onderwerp aan die mentorskap van suksesvolle kommersiële boere nie. Die moderne pakhuis van meer as R20 miljoen kan 450 ton sitrus per dag verpak. Vorster sr het gesê oor sy seuns Barend, Pieter, Eddie en Francois voel hy “die trotsste pa in SA”. Hy het die ou pakhuis eiehandig in 1963 opgerig. Met verlede jaar se brand was hy op toer in Afrika en sy seuns het self ingespring om die nuwe pakhuis tot stand te laat kom.

A LA RV BOR ET CONSE
Van Dinsdag af gaan dit baie beter met mnr Simon Venter, seun van mnr Siem en me Martie Venter van Tzaneen. Hy is nog in die hoësorgeenheid van die Unitas-hospitaal in Centurion, nadat hy drie weke gelede in Botswana — waar hy as vlieënier besig was — siek geword het. Hy, sy twee broers en sy pa is almal bedrewe vlieëniers en baie bekend in die Laeveld. Woensdagmiddag het me Deline de Jager, die verloofde van Simon se broer Hannes, gesê dit gaan beter met sy hart en longe en dat daar baie minder vog in sy lyf is. Sy sê Simon se herstel is ‘n wonderwerk.

green tea for this purpose. Gteda CEO Mr Kwena Maphoto opened the refurbished offices of the estate in Magoebaskloof’s hills, where hundreds of workers from the compound Middelkop prepared themselves for a possible new future. Maphoto said it was important to establish each candidate’s identity to assure that the local folk get preference. The first batch of four hundred workers will be supplemented by a further one hundred, before the slashing of the tea plantation will commence. It will be cut down to ground before new tea leaves can be produced for the extraction of the “magic potion” identified by Limpopo Green Estate director Roger Duffield. According to Maphoto the looming dispute by some of the Makgobas to turn the estate into an avocado plantation was turned down by the MEC of agriculture in Limpopo, who gave Gteda instructions to proceed with the project. It will take longer than a year to clear the plantation, before any new developments are expected.

He rose through the ranks until he was promoted to the rank of Major-General in 2000. In 2009 he was appointed Gauteng deputy provincial commissioner responsible for policing, a position he held until his appointed as commissioner for Limpopo.

Onder die voorwaardes is ook dat sulke besoeke nie deur busvragte mense bygewoon sal word nie, maar in ordelike groepe van hoogstens tien mense. Die besoeke sal ook in die teenwoordigheid van die bestaande grondeienaar op ‘n ordelike wyse geskied. Mnr Dries Enslin, voorsitter van AgriLetaba, sê grondeise-besoekers is goed ingelig oor die bepalings van die plaasprotokol. Daar sal nie toegelaat word dat dit enigsins omseil word nie, ter wille van almal se veiligheid.

R40m down the drain
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.
New Police station still not ready after 6 years Louis Roux
louis@bulletin.us.com
Some R40 million wasteful expenditure, five building contractors and six years later Letsitele’s new police palace is now said to be officially opened within the next few months. However, the SA Police could not confirm this. The initial cost of the project was almost R50 million, but due to delays and changes of building contractors this amount escalated to well over R86 million. Earlier this year it was announced that the complex would
be completed by August this year, but serious delays with construction were experienced and the project will soon enter 2012. A sewerage system for the complex has to be completed before the new facility could be operational. A total of five different contractors have so far been involved over a period of six years and at one stage construction was halted for nearly two years, due to “several technical problems”. Our extensive efforts to get more detail on the project from and to verify our information with the SAPS Media Centre in Pretoria, were unsuccessful. An inquiry was sent to Col
Sebola at the Media Centre, who passed it on to Capt Dennis Adriao, who in turn referred it to a divisional commissioner entrusted with new police buildings. We also contacted the site manager of the current contractor, Mr Choga Tapiwa of Zimbabwe, but he was not prepared to release any information on the project, other than to say that “construction has reached the final stage”. It is alleged that favouritism and tenderpreneurship contributed to the long delay and the waste of R40m of rate payers’ money. The department of public works is not involved in the project, and the SA Police is driving it.
This aerial photo of Tzaneen’s new Lifestyle Centre was taken a couple of days before the bulk of the shops opened. The new Fruit & Veg and new Wimpy restaurant will both open next week and a seafood restaurant is said to open early in the new year. So far the new shopping centre is a big hit and shop owners are optimistic that it will continue to draw the crowds. It is especially the huge and very upmarket Checkers that is obviously going to be very popular. The huge variety offered, the cleanliness, the wide aisles, the warm atmosphere of the store and the many new things offered, such as the cheese section offering a variety that has not been seen in Tzaneen before, will no doubt be popular. It is expected that Fruit & Veg will be the other main draw card of the Lifestyle Centre.

• From January pre-paid electricity meters will be installed in Tzaneen for the first time ever
Big loans for GTM

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.

In die gesloer het die GTM R850 000 aan regskostes betaal, terwyl Ramokolo gedreig het om op roerende eiendom van die munisipaliteit, soos voertuie, beslag te lê. Mnr André le Grange, die GTM se direkteur van finansies, het dié week bevestig dat die raadsbesluit nou die weg gebaan het om Ramokola te betaal. Hy sê dit is jammer die saak is nie onmiddellik na die ontslag geskik nie, want dit sou die GTM — dus die belastingbetalers — baie geld bespaar het. Ramokola wou nie kommentaar lewer nie. Sprake dat hy verdere stappe teen die GTM oorweeg, wou hy ook nie bevestig nie.

Fish breeding to boost food security in poor communities The unemployed youth of N’wamitwa will benefit greatly from a fish breeding project being facilitated by two Israeli specialists. The specialists are from the Israel Agency for International Development (Mashav). They are working in conjunction with Etafeni Trust which are training young people of N’wamitwa to work for food security. According to a spokesperson for the Israeli embassy, Ms Hila Stern, the two specialists, Messrs Lior Misgav and Roy Grunbaum, will stay for ten days training young people to breed Tilapia fish. Tilapia is small low fat fish that can be farmed and produced for mass consumption because it grows big in almost no time. It is said to be the most important aquaculture fish in the world because of their fast breeding. “Israel is known worldwide for its innovation and expertise in many different aspects of life, one of which is breeding Tilapia fish,” explained Stern. She said Israel was committed to building an integrated aquaculture and agricultural model that would help the
community to promote food security. According to Mr Patrick Kilroe of SA Aquaculture and Fisheries, who represented the Etafeni Trust, this is a model that has worked well in other countries – producing sufficient food in Asia for many generations. “With the recent dramatic failure of so many large-scale agricultural projects, we believe that along with the help of international experts, sustainable agriculture is the way to go for many communities,” he said. Kilroe said fifteen young people would be
trained in fish farming and other agricultural farming activities, with an aim of imparting knowledge that would help them make a living. “Students will be able to build their own fish ponds and start fish farming for a living after the training,” he explained, adding this would boost food sustainability in their families. The fifteen students have already been trained in the theory of fish farming. What is now left is the practical part of the training. One of the trainees, Ms Kedibone Masondo, said she was very happy the project came to their village. “This would be a good chance for us to be able to create our own employment,” she said. — Orlando Chauke LEFT: Mr Louw Swanepoel who would continue managing fish farming when the experts leave, is seen here with his team of students. ABOVE: This is what the Tilapia fish looks like. BELOW is one of the new dams that will be used to breed Tilapia fish at M’wamitwa.

her two Princeses, Tumi Mahlou and Thlologelo NatalieTee Thoko, paid them a visit. The children were treated with a rainbow of cupcakes, toys, clothes and sweet treats. They also received a personal hygiene gift pack. Katryn decorated a Christmas tree to the delight of the children. The mayor of Lebowakgomo, Ms Veronica Ivy Phaahla, accompanied Katryn and the Princesses to the centre and pledged her municipality’s support to build a new centre with much needed facilities, to make life easier for these children.

Wipplank sitrusjaar eindig positief Louis Roux
louis@bulletin.us.com
‘n Wipplank-effek deur vraag en aanbod, asook die wisselkoers, het Suid-Afrika se produsente van uitvoersitrus halfpad deur die seisoen effens in die knyp gehad, maar die markte het dermate herstel dat alle kartonne in die buiteland verkoop is. In ‘n kort oorsig oor die jaar se uitvoere sê Capespan dat verskeie faktore verantwoordelik was vir aanvanklike verliese en later gunstige toestande, waarin die verliese vergoed kon word. Mnr Dylan Chilcott, rekeningbestuurder by Capespan in Tzaneen, sê die seisoen het goed begin met sagte sitrus en suurlemoene. Dit was normale oeste en is goed deur die oorsese markte ontvang, teen ‘n laer wisselkoers. Pomelo’s het ‘n hoër opbrengs gelewer, maar die vrugte was kleiner as in vorige jare. Sekere afsetpunte in Europa het onsekerheid getoon en Japan is deur ‘n tsoenami getref, wat verkope saam met ‘n swakker wisselkoers nadelig beinvloed het. Vroeë pomelo’s in die eerste twee weke van die seisoen het goed gevaar, maar is daarna weens ‘n ooraanbod onder groot druk geplaas. Hoewel die SA uitvoer met tussen 10-15% gestyg het, was die pryse laer. Die produsent het nagenoeg ‘n gemiddeld van R40 per karton uitgekry, teenoor die gemiddeld van R50/karton in die vorige seisoen.
Wat lemoene betref, was die vroeë nawels uit veral die OosKaap onder druk weens verrotting en dit het verbruikersweerstand ontlok. Toe die Turkey-valencias van Limpopo op die mark verskyn, het produsente klaar die druk gevoel. Dit is gevolg deur die Egiptiese politieke krisis en ‘n ongekende ooraanbod in Rusland wat baie
produsente laat skade ly het en die druk op ander markte vergroot het. Die verrotting onder die nawels het ook ‘n insinking in die Midde Oosterse mark meegebring, terwyl die Europese somervakansie ook ‘n nadelige invloed op die markpryse gehad het.. Met die koms van die latere valencias het die markte verbeter, al was die lemoen-oes kleiner as verwag. Van Week 34 (September) was pryse gemiddeld sowat R75/karton vergeleke met die normale R40 tot R50/karton. Chilcott sê die vooruitsigte vir 2012 is nog nie duidelik nie, maar suurlemoene sal nie veel van vanjaar se opbrengs verskil nie. Groter pomelo’s word verwag, maar die opbrengs sal nagenoeg tien persent laer wees as die afgelope seisoen. Die vooruitskatting vir lemoene sal eers teen Februarie volgende jaar betroubaar gedoen kan word. Minder bloeisels is waargeneem en tydens vrugset kan heelwat vrugval weens voortdurende hittetoestande ondervind word. Dit is veral pitlose lemoene wat baie gevoelig vir dié soort klimaatstoestande is.

Agri-Letaba stuur Tzaneen se lietsjies is die seisoen effens laat Kersgroete Totale Lietsjie-produksie: Rand/ton
Mnr Dries Enslin, voorsitter van Agri-Letaba, skryf: Die jaar 2011 het met ‘n spoed verbygegaan. Die jaar is ook gekenmerk deur groot onsekerhede. Veral tov die globale ekonomie. Dit was ook ‘n jaar waar ons gebied geseën was met baie goeie reenval. Die wêreld is egter gekenmerk deur drastiese veranderinge. Noord Afrika en Midde Ooste met sy politieke opstande teen diktatorskappe en onderdrukking. Die Europese lande is vasgeval in ‘n skuld krisis. Wie sou ooit kon dink dat die groot kapitalistiese Europa in so ‘n posisie sou beland. In Suid Afrika staan ons op die rand van hierdie gebeure en wonder oor hoe dit ons gaan raak. Binne Landbou word ons gekonfronteer met die nuwe groenskrif tov grondhervorming. Maar ons het ook twee belangrike hofsake gewen wat eiendomsreg en die verhandeling van eiendom weereens bevestig
het. Ons beleef ook die laagste rentekoerse in baie jare. Die vraag is nou wat hou die jaar 2012 vir ons in? En die antwoord is – “Ons weet nie”. En dit maak ook nie saak nie. Ons weet egter dat ons lewens in die hand van ons Hemelse Vader en sy Seun Jesus Christus lê. Desember is dan ook die maand wat ons die geboorte van Jesus Christus vier. Ons kindskap aan Jesus en ons geloof is eintlik al wat saak maak. Die sekerheid wat almal so graag wil bekom lê hierin gesetel. Vir die mense wat ver reis wens ons ‘n voorspoedige reis toe en ‘n veilige terugkeer. Januarie lê voor die deur en ons vertrou dat almal terug sal wees met nuwe moed en energie om die uitdagings van die jaar te kan hanteer. Vanaf Agri-Letaba wil ons die gemeenskap van Tzaneen en omgewing ‘n geseende Kersfees toewens. Dit is ‘n tyd vir saamwees en bou van familieen vriendskapbande maar veel meer ‘n bou van ons geloof in Jesus Christus.
Tzaneen se lietsjie-oes is dié seisoen laat in die meeste gevalle, met net enkele produsente wat vroeë varieteite kan lewer. In die meeste gevalle lyk die drag beter as verlede jaar en die vrugte is kerngesond. ‘n Woordvoerder van Subtrop in Tzaneen, mnr Tshifhiwa Radzilani, sê dit is in dié stadium moeilik om verwagte produksie vir elke streek te verskaf, maar die bedryf sien uit na ‘n bogemiddelde opbrengs van 1,4 miljoen kartonne wat vir die uitvoermark bestem sal wees. Meegaande tabel toon die opbrengs van die afgelope tien jaar.

AgriSA bring hulde aan Bam Louis Roux
louis@bulletin.us.com
AgriSA het dié week hulde gebring aan die regterpresident van die Grondeisehof, regter Fikile Bam (74), wat Sondag in die Park Lanekliniek in Johannesburg dood is. Mnr Johannes Moller, president van AgriSA, sê Bam was ‘n man van integriteit wat altyd waardig en beginselvas opgetree het. “Hy was besonder geinteresseerd in die sensitiewe grond-debat en het ‘n reusebydrae gemaak deur sy insette, begrip en die uitsprake wat hy gelewer het. Hy was baie toeganklik en sal gemis word.”
wens u ’n Geseënde Kersfees en voorspoedige 2012 toe. Ons volgende Agri-uitgawe verskyn op 27 Januarie. Moet dit nie misloop nie! Besoek ons webtuiste by www.bulletin.us.com

Veeboere gemaan teen slenkdalkoors Voorspellings dat La Nina-toestande swaar reënbuie van September tot laat in Februarie kan voortbring, wek die vrees dat slenkdalkoors sy kop in Limpopo kan uitsteek. Die Rooivleisprodusente-organisasie (RPO) in die provinsie het ‘n ernstige vermaning aan veeboere gerig om hul vee betyds in te ent en sodoende ‘n uitbraak van die siekte te voorkom, na ‘n mediaberig wat deur die departement van landbou in dié verband uitgereik is. Slenkdalkoors het die afgelope twee jaar baie aandag geniet, hoewel die laaste groot uitbraak in 1974/75 voorgekom het. Dit gaan gepaard met buitenge-
wone hoë reënval en ‘n toename in besmette muskiete wat die siekte aan diere oordra.. Verlede jaar het 8 800 diere daaraan gevrek, terwyl 3 600 diere tot einde Augustus vanjaar in die slag gebly het. Skape, bokke en beeste is veral vatbaar vir slenkdalkoors, maar dis ook ‘n bedreiging vir mense. Verlede jaar is 238 gevalle aangemeld, waarvan 26 noodlottig was. Vanjaar is 37 gevalle by mense aangemeld, maar geen sterftes nie. Dit is volgens wet ‘n aanmeldbare siekte en mense word verplig om die naaste veearts oor die voorkoms daarvan in te lig.
Food protection essential An E-coli outbreak in Europe some months ago which claimed the lives of several people in Germany and Sweden alerted health officials on the importance of good agricultural practices in the production of food. Spain was initially held responsible for the outbreak caused by shipments of cucumbers, as Spain is one of the biggest exporters of cucumbers in the world. A ban was placed on the country’s cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables, but after extensive tests and negative results the ban was lifted. The ban nevertheless costs the exporters in the region of 200 million Euros per week. In an article on this outbreak Ms Fransie Rood, technical adviser of FertAgChem, emphasized the importance of protecting the food supply from microbial, chemical and physical
hazards or contamination during all stages of food production. This includes handling, growing, harvesting, processing, transporting, preparing, distributing and storing of food products. FertAgChem is part of Hygrotech, who has a product called Sporekill, which has the ability to contribute to protection of food against microbial hazards. It can be applied pre-harvest as well as post-harvest. The product is used for disinfecting fruit and vegetable surfaces, disinfecting the water that is used and for preventing the build-up of pathogens. It is also used for sanitizing picking bins, conveyor belts, sorting tables, workers’ hands, cold rooms and transporting containers. E-coli is just one of the pathogenic bacteria that is controlled by this product.
Limpopo bobaas met avo’s Limpopo bly steeds die grootste produsent van avokado’s in Suid-Afrika, met ‘n totaal van 6 818 ha (1 645 905 bome), teenoor Mpumalanga met 4 486 ha. Uit die vier subtropiese vrugtesoorte wat bestaan uit avo’s, lietsjies, makadamianeute en mango’s lewer Limpopo 44% van die jaarlikse oes. Makadamias beslaan die grootste oppervlakte van die vier
produksoorte, met Mpumalanga boaan die lys met 8 820 ha en Limpopo met 5 105 ha. Derde is KwaZulu/Natal met 2 859 ha, gevolg deur die OosKaap met 400 ha. Australië is die wêreld se grootste kweker van makadamias en lewer byna dubbeld soveel neute as Suid-Afrika jaarliks. Die enigste ander noemenswaardige mededinger is Hawaii.
Dieselgeld gaan verlore oor logboeke Die versuim deur boere om volgens voorskrifte boek te hou oor dieselverbruik, moes sonder terugbetalings vir dié verbruik van die regering klaarkom. In April vanjaar het die nuwe verwysingsgids vir terugbetalings op diesel en biodiesel van SARS verskyn, wat aan alle affiliasies van AgriSA gestuur is. Dit is deur hulle ook aan alle lede versprei. Volgens dié gids moes logboeke gehou word van die hoeveelheid diesel wat in ‘n voertuig gegooi word. Dit het in verskeie oudits van die SARS aan die lig gekom dat boere
in bepaalde gevalle nie aan die voorskrifte van die verwysingsgids voldoen het nie en hul eise is geweier. Om hierby verby te kom, moet ‘n ingewikkelde beswaaren appélprosedure gevolg word voor sulke eise heroorweeg kan word. Mnr Dawie Maree, ekonoom van AgriSA, het gesê boere wat nog nie die SARS se verwysingsgids onder oë gehad het nie, kan dit van die SARS se webwerf bekom. Rekenmeesters, ouditeure en boekhouers wat boere se sake hanteer, moet ook hiervan kennis neem om boere in te lig.

Bulletin
Die ATKV Letaba woel by Eiland Spa Die woelige Letaba-tak van die ATKV het hul aktiwiteite vir die jaar in die Eiland Spa-vakansie-oord van die ATKV afgesluit en die Poppekas was nogmaals ʼn hoogtepunt. Die groepie akteurs het geskitter en is vanuit verskeie oorde genader om die produksie na ander platforms te neem. Die akteurs, wat deur Mari Weber afgerig word, gaan nou ʼn kort en welverdiende vakansie neem, want volgende jaar is hul kalender propvol met versoeke en besprekings. Daar is etlike versoeke dat die produksie uitgebrei word en dat ook voorsien word vir ʼn kinder-teater. Daar is ook spesiaal versoek om “Jakkals en Wolf”-stories by die kinderteater in te sluit. Die gaste by die Eiland Spa is ook vermaak met ʼn Idiomeaand, tot groot vermaak van almal. Dié gewilde aanbieding word volgende jaar ook uitgerol na van die ander ATKV-oorde en is reeds ʼn blywende item op die Vermaakprogram.
Die span akteurs BO LINKS: Oranje Briljantjie, Khutso Matlou, is hier saam met ‘n jong bewonderaar. BO REGS is Stephani Nagel, wat die beste dansnommertjie gelewer het. VERSTE LINKS IN DIE MIDDEL is Rachel de Jager wat as beste verhoogpersoonlikheid aangewys is, en regs van haar is Leandré Burger wat as die beste danseres aangewys is. LINKS ONDER is die groep akteurs: Buksie wat deur Jason Viljoen vertolk is, Boeboe is eintlik Clarissa Esterhuizen, Bettie is die rolnaam van Mikhé Coetzee en Khutso Matlou vertolk die rol van Oranje Briljantjie.

23 Desember 2011
’n Sportjaar in oënskou A sport year at a glance 2011 was ook ’n groot jaar op die sportvelde vir Tzaneen. Met twee spog-hoërskole en vier uithaler-laerskole in die dorp, asook Duiwelskloof en Letsitele, kan die gemeenskap nie net trots voel nie, maar ook dankbaar. Tzaneen het bekend geraak as ’n voedingsbron vir provinsiale en nasionale spanne. Our youth simply answered to the call and achieved some memorable fetes. Limpopo surely took note of Tzaneen’s sport stars, many of the provincial trophies came home. Rugbyspelers soos Trevor Nyakane en JJ Breedt, albei van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster, en Justin van Staden van Merensky, ding op provinsiale vlak mee. Die oud-Plasie Dale Steyn, en oud-Vossie Marchant de Lange het onlangs die nuushooftrekke gehaal as Protea-krieketspelers. It’s not only the boys and men that made name, the ladies also reached for the stars. Bronwyn Sumption of Merensky certainly impressed the selectors at the national u.19 girls’ cricket week. Mikayla McDonald and Tarryn Brent of Stanford Lake College also made their marks in horse riding and cycling. Die seniors het ook naam gemaak. Die Limpopo-gholfspan, met Tzaneener Henk Geldenhuys as kaptein, het die interprovinsiale toernooi gewen. Letaba Rugbyklub was weer eens Mopani se kampioen in die driedrukreeks. En die Northern Region Rally Championship spog met nuwe kampioene in Klas S1: Erik de Jager en Pieter Gouws! ’n Wêreldkampioen is ook in ons midde gekroon: boogskutter Johan Wagner van Merensky. Tzaneen was also privileged to host the sixth round of the SA Pleasure Boat Association’s power boat series. The Mountain2Mountain and Magoebaskloof Classic cycling events attracted many competitors from all over SA. We pay tribute to our stars and watch them with great enthusiasm. We will monitor their every achievement. Ons sien uit na nog ’n sportjaar propvol aksie. En soos gewoonlik sal Bulletin daar wees om die sportnuus wat saak maak aan u te bring!
