Unlawful speed trapping Traffic officers may not trap motorists within 300 m from a speed restriction sign. But the past months they have been trapping a mere 30 m from such a sign. And does it really take four officers to do this job?

Die bou van ‘n verkeerseiland voor die Sasol R71 lyk na ‘n gekheid, omdat so baie dinge op dié pad die omgewing dodelik gevaarlik vir motoriste en voetgangers maak en eers reggestel behoort te word. Dinsdag gaan dit nou in die hooggeregshof draai... Die foto’s onder wys hoe motoriste intussen U-draaie maak om by die vulstasie in of uit te ry

Soek Laeveld Bulletin Hoe voel jy oor ouers wat hul minderjarige kinders stuur om daardie Lotto-kaartjie te koop? Of selfs sigarette en drank? Wat van sommige ouers wat hul kinders hul voertuie laat bestuur? Rensce Koekemoer Vd Merwe Onverantwoordelik en selfsugtig. Kotie Oosthuyzen Shame on them! Vieslik verby! As julle te lui of te skaam is om dit self te doen, los dit liewer! Melanie Jane Bezuidenhout Dis nie reg nie. Hulle leer hul kinders verkeerd. Dan wonder mense hoekom die jonger geslag is soos hulle is... Henriette Du Preez Bruce Glad nie ’n goeie voorbeeld nie, dit is al klaar net ’n probleem vir my om in ’n drankwinkel met my dogtertjie te gaan. Angela Lehmann Nie reg nie, want doen jou eie werk self. Jy wil dit drink, koop dit self. Maar watse voorbeeld is ons as ouers in die eerste plek om dit te doen? Hoe kan ons se dat ons nie wil he ons kinders moet drank drink, sigarette rook ens maar ons doen dit. Kotie Oosthuyzen Ek het nooit my voertuig vir my kind gegee om te ry nie en beslis nie voordat hy leerling lisensie gehad het nie, en selfs daarmee mag hy ook nie alleen gery het nie. Ons as ouers moet voorbeeld stel vir ons kinders! Marietjie Grobler Vermaak Ek het eendag ‘n winkelier gekonfronteer wat sigarette aan ‘n 9-jarige meisie verkoop het en hy het gesê rokers is die sterkste kliëntegroep, hy sal hulle nooit weier nie. Marius Hattingh Die winkels wat sigarette en drank aan minderjaarige kinders verkoop is net so skuldig. My dogter is 11 en sy bestuur beter as baie mense wat al jare ry. Maar bygesê, sy ry nie op die openbare pad sonder toesig nie. Martie Van Aarde Hoe is jul so seker die drank en sigarette wat die kind gaan koop is vir die ouers?

Rina Botha Wys julle net hoe baie “ouers» vir hul kinders omgee. Dis belaglik! En hoekom gee die winkels die drank en sigarette vir die kinders? Dis hul plig om nee te sê! Dis hartseer. Johan Venter En die lotto is vir die duiwel, jy sal nooit geluk vind daarin nie. Die debakel rondom die kunswerk van president Jacob Zuma, The Spear, oorheers tans die media. Sê jou sê! What do you have to say about the Jacob Zuma painting, The Spear? Elza van Wyk The tribe has spoken ... Tania Dunn Spaar my! Estie van Wyk Aai tog. Wat ‘n vermorsing van verf! Chris Pretorius Ek dink die vraag moet wees wat sou jy gedoen het as dit jy was op daai skildery. Ek sou dieselfde gedoen het as Zuma. Dit maak nie saak of dit ’n nabootsing was of nie. Monica Swanepoel Dit lyk in elk geval nie vir my soos Zuma nie, maar as die skoen jou pas, trek hom aan.

Vliegvernederend?
Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk... Vir Vlieg is dit nou nie so erg om ook sy eiers in die openbaar gelê te kry ter wille van die kunste nie! Vir Vlieg se mate van kunssinnigheid maak dit ook nou nie regtig saak of dit ekspressionisties, post-modern, renaissance, modern, klassiek of self eksibisionisties is nie. En of Vlieg se gelêde eiers nou wit of swart is, maak aan hom ook nie ‘n rassistiese duit verskil nie. Vlieg voel ook glad nie vernederd oor sy ontbloting nie. Vlieg sou wel vernederd gevoel het as hy as adjunk-president ontslaan is, of van verkragting aangekla is, of van korrupte verhoudings beskuldig is, of as hy deur die wêreld verguis is oor sinnelose stortopmerkings, of as hy in die openbaar in ‘n leeuvel-tierstert gedans het op sy sesde bruilof met ‘n bruid wat jonger is as sy kleinkinders, of as die hele Vliegfamilie met ‘n aksie besig was om van hom ontslae te raak as president, omdat hy, om die minste te sê, ontoereikend is! Vlieg dink vernedering hang ook maar af van die vernederde!
Die mense hoor
Let wel: Hulle sê nie so nie! • Die vlieënde Dikketjie het soos Ikarus van ouds te naby aan die son gevlieg en sy wasvlerke afgebrand, sommer so saam met ‘n klomp brûe agter hom. Eers het hy breëbors loop en vertel hoe hy van die “groter boere ’n lessie gaan leer”, toe had hy te vertelle dat hy klaar sy hofsake gewen het. Nou blyk dit dat nie net kliënte ontevrede is omdat hulle vir duur dienste gefaktureer is, maar wat nooit gelewer is nie, maar dat die Burgerlike Lugvaart Owerheid ook ‘n appeltjie (nee, ‘n hele krat appels) met hom te skil het. Hulle raak toe sommer deel van die hofsake! Hy gaan nog so vir an-
der mense lessies leer, dan is hy sy liksens kwyt! Hy is slim, maar nie slim genoeg om te weet dat jy nie met jou professionele gesagsliggaam swaarde kruis nie. En nou hoor die mense die polisie jaag hom ook: glo vir bedrog, gesinsgeweld, aanranding en ander bedenklike aktiwiteite. Tzaneen raak nou te warm en die vlerke gaan smelt... • Hier is ‘n gekonkel met regsake wat diep loop tot in die die plaaslike landdroshofkantoor. Die hoofkonkelaar maak 100% staat op sy politieke konneksies, hoor die mense, maar dié raak nou glo ook dun. Hou die Bulletin dop...

‘ANC lied’, claims the DA Is daar nog rolmodelle in ons land? Is dit net in en om Tzaneen, of is wetstoepassers ook op ander plekke so arrogant om bo die wet verhewe te wees? Ons het dit nou al tot vervelens toe gesien: polisiemotors wat misbruik maak van parkering vir gestremdes wanneer daar duidelik geen nood is nie en hulle net inkopies doen. Verkeerslui is ewe skuldig. Gaan kyk maar hoe stop hulle motoriste by die dorp se hoofingang en laat dan toe dat die motor in die ryvlak stop, terwyl hulle die pad verder vol staan — totdat een deur ‘n voertuig getref word en dan gaan hulle weer op al wat ‘n motoris is skel, omdat motoriste onverskillig is! Die foto’s bo en onder het geen byskrifte nodig nie; dit sê duidelik dat daar nie respek vir gestremde persone is nie. Sies vir julle; julle wat die voorbeeld moet stel!
The DA accuses the ANC of having lied in a special GTM council meeting about renewing the municipal manager’s employment contract. DA caucus leader Rene Pohl says the speaker and the council lied at the council’s special sitting on 2 May about the contract (read her letter on page 6). She says two Exco members told the council that all legislative procedures were followed before the decision to renew the contract was taken However, it is not that simple and it was not necessarily a matter of lies or disception. Fact of the matter is that the ammendment to the act regulating the appointment of municipal managers and section 57 managers was promulgated before guidelines were given and there was no benchmark to assist officials and/or councillors in applying the ammendment. This is why numerous municipalities in the country have gone through the same agonising experience of having to start the process of renewing contracts all over again, according to information obtained by the Bulletin. The Mopani District Municipality fell into the same trap, it happened in Modemolle, in a number of towns in Mpumalanga as well as in towns in other provinces. As far as the situation in the GTM is concerned, there are many other unanswered questions: • Why did the councillors not consider an
agreement to employ the municipal manager (MM) — with special consent from the MEC, if that was at all needed — on a month to month basis? Why was this unacceptable? • Why did the two major parties in the GTM, the ANC with its vast majority and the DA, not sit down and attempt to implement an emergency plan that could have guaranteed continuity in the GTM’s management and showed some concern for the town, district and residents? • What has been done to the MM amounts to emotional torture; this whilst she has done a sterling job since her appointment about two years ago. Could this really not have been avoided, or do we have a hall filled with councillors (almost seventy of them!) who are callous, self-serving and unfeeling? • Why did the ANC councillors, or at least the leaders (mayor, speaker, chief whip, caucus leader), not ask provincial help to get clarity on the issues that were vague and worrisome? They could even have asked central government for assistance. Or were they advised incorrectly by higher authority or maybe their legal advisor(s)? In the meantime, the GTM’s controversial legal advisor, Adv Phatudi Nkopodi, has been suspended and this certainly suggests that he has been part of the problem. GTM communication officer Neville Ndlala admitted that procedures were not followed when the decision to renew the MM’s con-
Report about the unsavoury situation in the GTM by Francois Aucamp (francois@bulletin.us.com) & Percy Mthombeni (percy@bulletin.us.com)
Who watches the watchmen? Many hundreds of motorists have been caught speeding on camera on the R71 between the bridge over the road and the new set of robots at the turn-off to the new Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre since December last year. Traffic officers of (especially) the Greater Tzaneen Municipality and the Limpopo provincial traffic department quickly identified “the very secluded spot” to set up their camera equipment and they have been there almost daily. But it is unlawful! They set up there “eye” within 300 meters of the 60 km/h road sign, whilst no prosecution may be instituted where the speed measurement was taken within 300 meters of the commencement of the speed limit zone. This is not the only pre-
requisite for speed trapping by camera. In fact, the list of do’s and donts is rather long and provides even for the services of a professional land surveyor to check and validate distance measurements. We advise motorists who get caught in the GTM’s area, especially on the R71, to study the standards and procedures for traffic control before paying fines. Another interesting, indeed frustrating aspect of traffic management in our area is the constant passing of the buck. When there are problems the GTM’s men and women say the R71 is not within the GTM’s jurisdiction, since it “belongs” to the province. However, the GTM’s traffic officers don’t mind “making money” by speed trapping at various places on the R71.
Die indrukwekkende spuitfontein voor die GTM se hoofgebou werk uiteindelik weer. Mnr Duncan Mogale van die GTM se kommunikasie-afdeling bekyk die fontein hier.
Doodsengel tree nader op die R71 Die dood het ‘n tree nader kom staan aan motoriste en voetgangers (rylopers) op en langs die R71 by Tzaneen se uitgang, verby die nuwe leefstylsentrum en die Sasolvulstasie. ‘n Verkeerseiland is in aanbou, om die gevaar by die inrit na die Sasol te verminder, waar motoriste links en regs kan in- of uitry. Die ironie is dat die gevaar nou veel groter is. Hoekom die eiland nou gebou word, is nie duidelik nie. Die veronderstelling was, soos dit aan ons verduidelik is, dat ‘n dienspad langs die R71 eers gebou sou word. Ons het ook afskrifte gesien van briewe van Sanral wat daarop dui dat die eiland nie goedgekeur is nie. In ‘n brief gedateer 29 Maart 2012 skryf Sanral se hoof uitvoerende -beampte “your attention is however brought to the fact that Sanral has no intention to appoint nor appointed a contractor to construct a median barrier between the existing Sasol and proposed Total Filling Stations along the R71 in Tzaneen...” Dinsdag, pas nadat begin is om die eiland te bou, het Sanral ‘n brief gelewer aan die kontrakteur wat die eiland bou, wat sê die werk moet gestaak word. Die brief lees “you are hereby instructed to stop all construction work (median construction on R71/2 in front of Sasol, across the Lifestyle Centre) until an access is made for
motorists moving in both directions towards the Sasol...” Ons het Woensdag mnr Flip van Rooyen geskakel, maar hy was nie beskikbaar nie. Ons wou by hom hoor wat aan die gang is, want hy is die kontrakteur wat die eiland bou en hy is ook die eienaar van die nuwe Total. Hy het al by ‘n vorige geleentheid vir ons gesê hy raak moedeloos oor die besluiteloosheid en die gebrek aan finaliteit oor sake. Dit lyk of daar nou spanning tussen hom en die eienaars van die Sasol, mee Sharon de Reuck en Willemien Roettgers is. Hulle gaan Dinsdag (29 Mei) mekaar in die hooggeregshof pak, volgens die pleitstukke omdat daar verskille is oor ‘n eerste opsie wat Roettgers en De Reuck glo het om die Total by Van Rooyen te huur. Hulle wil vra vir ‘n interdik. Die kwessie van die verkeerseiland gaan glo terselfdertyd aan die hof voorgelê word. Intussen word motoriste gemaan om uiters versigtig te wees tussen die nuwe stelle verkeersligte tussen die Mediclinic en die kruising van die R71 en Voortrekkerweg. Nodeloos om te sê, die verkeerslui van die GTM en dié van die provinsie is nêrens te sien nie. Hulle stry nog oor in wie se jurisdiksie die eiland is! En Sanral se plan met die R71 is totaal duister. • Word vervolg. — Francois Aucamp francois@bulletin.us.com
tract was taken in the meeting. He says “the council was misled by the legal team and it already accepted the mistake and the investigation is underway to determine what led to such an error.’’ Ndlala refused to disclose the names of the “legal team” that advised the council. According to our information there may in any event be a number of issues to be investigated affecting Nkopodi. In another suspicious move, Bulletin’s request for a copy of the relevant council resolution(s), was turned down. We have tried to communicate with the mayor about this, but she was not available. We will keep on trying to contact her, but if we fail to make contact with her before next week Tuesday, we will file an application in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act. In the meantime, Ms Conny Mametja called us to ask that we extend her sincere appreciation to the Tzaneen community, for their goodwill and support that she enjoyed since her appointment as MM. “I would like to continue working as MM, to enable me to serve and expand on sharing between the GTM and the community. “I do consider applying for the post, since I have come to appreciate the community and I will certainly enjoy to further serve them and work towards a better Tzaneen and better service delivery to the rural communities,” Mametja said.

Local poetry book published — Poems by four youths from Ga-Kgapane The Village Tourism Trust, supported by funding from the National Lotteries Development Trust Fund, has been occupied over the past three years with various projects associated with the conservation of music, legends, folklore and oral history, as well as the stimulation of youth development centres in the region known as “The Valley of the Olifants”. This programme brought the project organisers in contact with a number of rural schools around Masealama, Haenertsburg, Modjadji, Ga-Kgapane, Giyani and Acornhoek. Information was received regarding poems of four young men from Ga-Kgapane and the Modjadji area, and they submitted a portfolio of their work for possible publication. The publication became a reality, and the small volume of their poems, entitled “An AntholABOVE: The poets: Lee Modike Moropene, Pretty Ramahlako, Aaron Leogy of Poems from the Realm of the Rain godi and Moses Legodi
Queen” was edited by Michael Gardner of the Village Tourism Trust, and produced with the Lotteries funding. The poets are two schoolboys: Pretty Ramahlaku and Lee Modike Moropene; and twin brothers Moses and Aaron Legodi who are in their early twenties. Their creative wri-ting talent is extremely promising, and they displayed a maturity beyond their years in the themes covered in their work.

While doing an inspection, a leaking pipe was discovered. The GLM fixed the reservoir over the weekend and filled it with water that can last for at least a week. They also promised to keep it full until the leak has been fixed. The GLM’s communication officer, Ms Lovers Sibanda, said hopefully this time the correct diagnosis has been made. New pipes will carry water to the centre. However, a connection still needs to be done by the Lepelle Northern water. “We hope that this will be the end of the problem and we would like to humbly apologise to the health centre and the people affected by this problem,” Sibanda said. — Martina Jege

The next morning her parents found her lying on her bed with yellow saliva coming out of her mouth. When asked what was wrong, she told them that she
took her grandmother’s tablets. An ambulance was immediately called and she was rushed to the hospital, where she died. The Letsitele police spokesperson, Const Mabunda, urged young people to listen to their parents and if they have problems, the police will assist where possible.” Killing yourself is never an option.” Martina Jege martina@bulletin.us.com

Tzaneen police and Gift of the Givers changed lives The SAPS Tzaneen and the Gift of the Givers took hands and changed the lives of Ms Margret Ramotwala and her children. The police assisted in cleaning up the yard and the Gift of the Givers provided the family with an informal house, furniture and groceries. Ramotwala was living in a small tent with five children and three grand-children for over a year.
Skaars ‘n week na die modderstorting in George’s Valley wat vier gesinne van hul blyplek en besittings beroof het, het die Gift of the Givers Foundation vir die slagoffers nuwe hoop gebring. Die gesinne wat deur die ramp geraak is, asook ‘n aantal arm gesinne van die omgewing, het geskenkpakke ontvang, met kos, komberse, klere en ander huishoudelike artikels. Die organisasie beplan ook om aan die gesinne wie se huise verwoes is nuwe behuising te verskaf. Intussen het die boere in die omgewing ook ruimskoots bygedra om vir die mense kos, klere en komberse te gee.

How can human beings live in such a small, dusty tent, while we have the right to have housing”? she asked. The caring constable approached Genl Maggie Mathebula to explain the needs of the family. The general contacted the Gift of the Givers Foundation to help the family in anyway they could. According to the community members of ga-Mutupa, the family has been staying there for a year with no food and no access to proper sanitation. Ramotwala cannot work anymore, as she is very ill and the condition of her family is not helping her get better. The councillor of ward 11, Ms Lettie Hlangwane, however, said that she knew about the family and she has placed the family on an emergency waiting list. “We have a lot of families living in similar conditions and some now have houses. The Ramotwala’s will also be provided with an RDP house when their turn comes, as we are moving according to the list.” Genl Mathebula applauded the police for
ern Africa where he left, unwittingly and obviously unintentionally, countless monuments to himself in the form of trig beacons which he built, roads, dams (like Kariba) and farm boundaries which he surveyed and thousands of subdivisions in residential areas. He led a life of true adventure, often having to run away from wild animals or sleep atop a trig beacon to avoid scorpions. His love of simple, beautiful things was always something to be admired as was his bountiful and varied knowledge and wisdom.” He was a man that didn’t need material wealth to prove success.
So it was a huge shock to him to learn that he had inherited the title of 11th Duke of Atholl in 1996. “Rather reluctantly but diligently and honorably, he did his duty. Being a man of such humble personality, he struggled with being in the limelight as it were...,” the obituary continues. “However, at Blair Castle he immediately became the “popular Duke” preferring to be called John by everyone. He was especially popular with the officers and men of his personal bodyguard, the 150-year-old Atholl Highlanders, a regiment granted colors by Queen Victoria in 1845. He has left an indelible mark at Blair and he will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by everyone who knew him.”

Madness
A series of recent events in Tzaneen can quite easily convince us that we have been engulfed by total madness. The municipal councillors, who earn handsome salaries and fringe benefits , don’t know when and how laws that have a direct impact on council and municipal affairs, are changed or have been changed. To make matters worse, senior officials also do not know! The council employs a legal advisor (who prefers to be called “advocate”) who clearly didn’t know either. Or did he? Is there a hidden agenda? The situation regarding informal trade (hawkers) is clearly out of control and any reference to this major problem by the GTM and/or the SA Police is nothing more than idle talk. The GTM’s traffic departement obviously has no traffic plan. If indeed there is such a plan, it is either totally outdated or it is not implemented. Example: traffic volumes in Tzaneen increase almost monthly, but the synchronisation of robots is still left undone in spite of its hopeless ineffectiveness. The R71 is in a mess. Nobody seems to know exactly what is being done or needs to be done. Nobody seems to care about the mess (and dangers) either. Tender allocations are clearly a problem in the GTM, costing the residents, who pay their rates and taxes, in legal fees. The electricity problems are far from solved. The municipal swimming pool is in a state of ruin, streets are breaking up etc. The list is alarmingly long. And to add insult to injury, we can’t even appoint a municipal manager without messing up! Hau! Do we have a future to look forward to?
DA set facts straight DA caucus leader, Councillor Rene Pohl, Greater Tzaneen Municipality, writes: The DA believes in the supremacy of the South African constitution and the rule of law, and this principle will not be compromised. At 17:30, on Monday 1 May, the DA councillors were notified via sms of a special Exco and Council meeting that will take place on Tuesday 10:00 and 12:00 respectively. This is in contradiction with Greater Tzaneen Municipality Rule of Order & Probity By laws which states in section 3.2, that the municipality manager must give at least 72 hours notice of meetings to councillors. We were not properly notified and at the same time notified that Agendas would only be handed out at the meeting. Therefore, we could not prepare for the meeting. On Tuesday 2 May there was only one item on the agenda handed out at the Exco meeting ‘’The renewal of the employment contract of the municipal manager.” The relevant recommendations in the Agenda read as follows: (b) A decision be taken to ratify the appointment of the municipal manager as made by the previous municipal council as per Council resolution no. A20 and in line with the municipal system Act, and (c) That Council takes a decision to either (1) terminate or renew the contract. The DA clearly stated that the post should have been advertised in a national newspaper and asked in which newspaper was the post advertised and the date thereof. An Exco member assured that all legislative processes were followed. Another Exco member replied that this was not necessary due to the previous Council resolution. The DA clearly stated that if no proof can be provided of the publishing of the advertisement in any national newspaper, and legislative procedures not followed, steps would be taken to prove the Council decision null and void. Again the DA was assured that all the leg-
Op Donderdag 10 Mei is die Olimpiese vlam by Olimpus, Griekeland, aangesteek, waar die Olimpiese spele sy oorsprong gehad het. Op Vrydag 18 Mei het die vlam in Engeland aangekom. Agt duisend mense gaan oor `n tydperk van sewentig dae die vlam oor `n afstand van 12 800 kilometer dra, totdat die spele op 27 Julie in Londen begin. In Londen gaan die vlam gedra word deur onder andere ‘n vrou wat 100 jaar oud is en `n seun van twaalf jaar. Alle ouderdomme, alle sporte, alle rasse, almal kry geleentheid om die vlam te dra. Dit het my laat dink aan Jesus se woorde in Joh 15: 9-17: “Soos die Vader My liefhet, het ek julle lief… julle moet mekaar liefhê.” Die liefde van God is vir my soos `n vuur, `n vlam, of `n fakkel. God het die fakkel aan Jesus gegee en Jesus het dit aan ons gegee. Jesus is die Lig vir die wêreld en Hy het gesê: “Julle is die lig vir die wêreld.” Ons moet die fakkel dra en vir mekaar aangee. Net so ondenkbaar as wat dit is dat iemand wat die Olimpiese vlam dra dit sal uitdoof, so ondenkbaar is dit dat ons die lig onder `n maatemmer sal sit – of nie? Ons moet God se liefde in hierdie wêreld aangee. Jesus het sy lewe gegee. Hoe gee ons ons lewe? Tyd, arbeid, talente, simpatie, meelewing, geld… Die fakkel is dus eintlik `n kruis. Laat ons die fakkel/kruis dra tot in die groot arena waarvan die boek Openbaring ons vertel. Mooi naweek!
Tongknopers / Taalgoggas Omdat daar duidelik verwarring is oor sekere leenwoorde wat dikwels gebruik en al hoe meer opgemerk word op spyskaarte, in restaurante, op ingevoerde produkte in ons winkels, nog ietsie daaroor (en let gerus op die spellings): Uit Frans: résumé = opsomming of samevatting; répondez s’il vois plaît = antwoord as-
seblief (dikwels afgekort tot RSVP); soirée = musiekaand of aandpartytjie; tête-à-tête = vertroulike gesprek; vis-à-vis = regoor of in vergelyking met; voilà = siedaar. Uit Japanees: foeton = soort matras; ikebana = blomme-rangskikkuns; kamikaze (b.nw) = selfmoord of roekelose of onverskillige (selfmoord-vlieënier); origami = papiervoukuns;
Letters • Briewe islative processes were followed. During the Council meeting the ANC reassured the DA and Council members that all legislation was followed, and which seemed to be untrue. The DA immediately informed the DA leader about the proceedings. I wrote a letter to the mayor as well as the speaker to inform them about the specific legislation, and if no proof can be given about the advertisement in a national newspaper, the MEC would be notified and the DA will take the relevant steps. The mayor assured me that I would receive a response within two days. Councillors then received a sms about a special council meeting on 15 May at the Tzaneen Disaster Centre. Again no agenda! The ANC chief whip told me that my presence was needed at the Exco meeting. At this meeting the Agenda was handed to all members. We were then informed that due to stipulations of the municipal system amendment Act, 2011, the decision taken by the Council to review the municipal manager‘s contract was null and void. This was also discussed at the Council meeting, and this proves that the DA was indeed correct and boils down to an admission that the procedures were not followed and that the questions we asked was answered incorrectly. The MEC of co-operative governance, human settlements and traditional affairs clearly stated at the Mopani District Makgotla that officials without the relevant qualification will be removed from office, as well as non performers and anyone who is guilty of any form of mismanagement. Our actions were confirmed to be correct by the MEC at this Makgotla. The DA did not only blow the whistle, we took steps to bring the unlawful procedure to light! We asked question about the proce-
dure and were informed that all procedures were followed. It is therefore clear that the Council tried to mislead the DA and also tried to push the reappointment of the municipal manager through without following the correct procedure. • We don’t understand the relevance of the second last paragraph of your letter “that officials without the relevant qualifications will be removed from office, as well as non-performers and anyone who is guilty of any form of mismanagement...” Is there something that we have missed about Ms Conny Mametja? — Editor
Feite oor ewolusie Methusala, Onder-die-brug, Aquapark, Tzaneen, skryf: Ek lees (Letaba Herald, 20 April) dat ‘n sekere Dr Kruger praat oor “evolusie” by Ben Vorster Skool. Maar volgens die artikel gaan die lesing meer oor die Ou Testament. In elk geval… arme ou Tzaneen, intellektuele en kulturele woestyn! Lyk my die enigste skepsel in Tzaneen (en verreweg die slimste) wat evolusie verstaan is die groen dinosourus in Minitzana. EK wonder wat dink Dr Kruger van hierdie dinosourus? Mense, hier is die feite: Die oorweldigende meerderheid Christene wêreldwyd aanvaar evolusie. Die Pous, Die Aartsbiskop van Canterbury, die Katolieke Kerk, die Anglikaanse Kerk, die meerderheid Protestante, die Metodiste… google dit self en lees bietjie. Hulle aanvaar dit almal. Van die kerke is bietjie meer… kom ons sê stadig. Die Jehova’s Witnesses aanvaar dit glad nie. En dan is daar drie sogenaamde “susterkerke” wat nog nie ‘n besluit kon maak nie. Ja, ons eie volkskerke. Jy gaan lank op die internet soek vir ‘n beslissende antwoord op die vraag. Wat ek wel kan sê is dat ek lesings bygewoon het by die Universiteit van
sasjimi = stukkies rou vis voorgesit met sojasous en gerasperde peperwortel; soekijaki = vleis-en-groente-roerbraaigereg; tofoe = sojaboonwrongel. Uit Grieks: hoipolloi = die massa; moesaka = maalvleis-en-eiervrug-gereg; ouzo = sterk anysgeurige drank; soewlaki = soort kebab/ sosatie; taramasalata = viskuitpatee; tzatziki = komkommer-en-kruisementslaai. Uit Italiaans: al dente = gaar maar nog ferm; gnocchi = kluitjies; incognito = onder ‘n skuilnaam of verberging van identiteit. Potchefstroom (toe dit nog die goeie ou Universiteit van Potchefstroom was), in die Departement Dierkunde, waar hulle wel die evolusie-teorie (eintlik nie ‘n teorie nie maar ‘n feit; dis Natural Selection wat die teorie is maar moenie nou daaroor bekommer nie) verduidelik het, aanvaar het, en selfs die mens se oorsprong uit die primate-familie verduidelik het. (Julle lesers weet seker dat die U van Potch ‘n tak van die NGK was?) Amper vergeet ek: ‘n Belgiese biskop was die eerste om die “Big Bang” teorie voor te stel. Die wetenskaplikes het dit oorspronklik streng verwerp en die Kerk moes hulle daarvan oorreed (behalwe in Tzaneen, natuurlik) My magtig. Maar nou verstaan die burgers van Tzaneen vele meer, danksy Dr Kruger. Julle en Mekka, verenig in onkunde.
Stop allegations
Luke Perkins (DA Councillor), PO Box 70, Haenertsburg, writes: Someone called Roy Hurter has written two letters to your paper now complaining about the eviction of 18 people from a property; he mentions a woman living next door and claims the DA supported this woman. He blames the DA for the eviction of these people and questions what the real motives of the DA are. He does not mention where this happened; no province or town is mentioned. Was it in Limpopo? If he had provided some background to these allegations we could look into it. At the moment they stand as fairly vague and unsubstantiated allegations. I have no idea what he is talking about; I have tried to google the story but find nothing. The DA would not normally have the powers to evict anyone except perhaps if it is a DA-controlled municipality (there is none in Limpopo). I would normally ignore something as vague as this but since it has now appeared twice I feel I should say: either back up your allegations, or stop making them.

FET students go on strike in Tzn It is all about more money
Jumbo-sized shaft redone in Tzaneen Tzaneen Precision Motor Works are very proud of their share in overalling the biggest crankshaft that has been done in Tzaneen. The job of grinding it was sent their way by Allen Bisset Engineering. The crankshaft weighs around 350 kg, while a normal one weighs only about 20-40 kg. This specific crankshaft is bound for a local pack house’s juicing machine. It’s so big that special bearings have to be cast for it. The crankshaft is also so heavy that Tzaneen Precision had to develop a pulley system just to lift and put it in the machine. Mr Roan Pienaar, who worked on the crankshaft, is seen here with the monster. In front of it is the crankshaft of a Robin (corn-cutting machine), to illustrate the difference in sizes.

Students disrupted classes at the Letaba FET College’s Tzaneen Campus on Monday, accusing the management of the college of not listening to their demands. The strike broke out after the management and the Student Representative Council (SRC) failed to reach an agreement on the allocation of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) loan bursaries. Students want management to give them R16 000 for accommodation and R6 000 for transport. Ronald Seseletsi, deputy chairperson of the SA Student Congress (Sasco) says they have been in talks with management for a while, but management is not willing to address their concerns. He accused management of having done the same thing last year, adding that students have to fight to get their money. “We are not going back to clas-
ses until our issues are resolved. We will continue demonstrating outside until management addresses our plight,” he said. Lecturers were chased away and the students clashed with security guards over access to the premises. The department of higher education‘s attempt to restore calm failed. The students refused to go back to classes. Seleletsi says they want the minister of higher education and training to intervene. A member of the SRC, who does not want to be named for fear of being seen as a traitor, says the students are not following the correct procedure and they have misunderstood the NSFAS allocation. We approached the management for comment, but they declined our invitation. — Percy Mthombeni percy@bulletin.us.com

Die toer is ‘n hoogtepunt op die jaarkerkkalender, maar sonder al die borge sou dit nie moontlik gewees het nie. Die kerk en die toergroep wil graag al die borge bedank vir hul bydraes.

Sitting outside on the deck, one could easily imagine lounging somewhere in the Mediterranean, listening to the ocean. The simple, homely atmosphere with the feel of a tropical environment fits Tzaneen like a glove. The recently opened Ocean Basket in the Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre is the third one in Limpopo and the 151st worldwide. The first restaurant was established seventeen years ago and has since then grown into one of the country’s favourite seafood restaurants. Ocean Basket also enjoys international success with branches as far as Mauritius, Dubai and Cyprus. Carlos Carreira, owner of the franchise in Tzaneen, previously owned The Bakery in Letsitele. Carreira felt the need to open an Ocean Basket and jumped at the opportunity when the seafood-chain de-
cided to open one in this area. Ocean Basket’s variety of meals is uniquely served in cooking pans (instead of ordinary dinner plates), and offers an exciting experience to the whole family. One of the main attractions and a current favourite on the menu is the sushi. The three chefs that prepare the sushi have received professional training in the proper preparation of this delectable dish.
Jimmy Sedutla & Sydney Mthombeni
The Ocean Basket receives fresh fish on a weekly basis to ensure that guests are always provided with the best quality meal possible. The doors open at 11:00 and visitors can expect fast, friendly service from their waiters. Takeaways are also available for those on the run. Enquiries: Ocean Basket on 015 307 2359.

Community march against killer road The community of Mageva and Ndhambi village, near Giyani, have threatened to shut down the R529 from Giyani to Tzaneen, if their demand for speed humps on the road is not met within 14 days. This was made clear during a march by the community of the two villages to the nearest satellite police station, to submit a memorandum stating their grievances. They demand speed humps on the road between the two villages. “Failure to start erecting speed humps within 14 days from today, will lead to a drastic step by the community,” said Mr Enoch Mahlaule, the secretary of the crisis committee elected by the community to lead the fight against speeding on the road. “The community is prepared to take the law into its hands if we don’t get a response — the road will be closed and we will do the speed humps by ourselves,” he warned. The problem has been fuelled School kids mixed with adults and took part in by the recent death of a five yearthe march against speeding on the R529 road old child. Her death brought the number of people to a staggering forty who died on the road in three years. According to statistics in position of the Crisis Committee, there were 2 391 accidents on the
road between March 2010 and March 2012, which left 33 dead, 168 seriously injured while 242 sustained minor injuries. They claim that 1 450 of the accidents have happened at night, while 941 allegedly happened during the day. “We’ve written several letters to both the municipality and the department of road and transport in the province since last year, yet until today we haven’t had an answer from either of them,” said Mahlaule. “With this march, we’re firing a final warning, after which we’ll do things our way,” he said. He added that speed humps were done at Risaba village which falls under the Greater Tzaneen Municipality on the same R529, and they don’t see how it could not be done in their area. The memo was later received by Mr Afrika Rikhotso, the ward councillor in that area. He then promised to take the memo to Giyani mayor Pat Hlungwani who is expected to write recommendations to the provincial department about the erecting of speed humps. The area falls under the Greater Giyani Municipality but the road is a provincial road. — Orlando Chauke orlando@vodamail.com

CiS Real Estate Every one of us who either buys or sells a house must make use of a Conveyancing Attorney to attend to the transfer and registration process. If your house is bought with a loan from a bank or financial institution, a bond needs to be registered in favour of the bank or financial institution and if an existing bond is in place, it will need to be cancelled. It is thus clear that at least one, but up to three or more firms of Attorneys may be involved in the process. Many buyers and/or sellers are under the impression that once
Keep track of the Transfer process the documents are signed they only have to sit back and wait for the registration of the property and/or bond to take place. Many people are intimidated by Attorneys and are reluctant to make enquiries with the Attorney so as not to be a nuisance. This is a fallacy and any buyer and/or seller should know their rights and are entitled to know exactly how far the process has gone. If important deadlines are overlooked the process can be prolonged unnecessarily and can have serious consequences for the parties i.e.
the property might only register at a later stage causing clearance certificates to lapse or perhaps loosing substantial amounts on interest. You, as the client, are entitled to regular updates on the registration process and are fully entitled to contact your Attorney on a regular basis for updates. If you have the service of a reliable and competent Estate Agent, they should assist you in this process and save you the trouble of following up. Willem van Rensburg – principal C.I.S. Real estate.

This week’s fitness tip by Ettienne van Wyngaardt (Fitness specialist) The best tip that I can give anyone that wants to get into shape for the summer, is to start exercising asap. Don’t wait for September, because then it’s too late. Winter in Tzaneen is the best time to train, the weather is perfect and you can push yourself even harder. Before you know it, the summer will be here, and when it’s time to pack away the winter cloths, everybody will notice how much weight you’ve lost. So go for it, I dare you!

Harry Rossouw en Marno van der Meulen het die Plasies se tien punte agter hul name geskryf. Die Triegies het met 34-10 gewen. Die tweede span (Ratels) het weer eens ’n aanskoulike vertoning gelewer en met 25-10 gewen. Armand Geldenhuys was die groot puntema-
ker met drie drieë, terwyl Andrew Masedi en Bullet Sithole ook punte aangeteken het. Die eerste span het ’n fisieke stryd teen die Triegies gevoer en in alle fasette van die spel oorheers. Met twee reuse slotte moes die Triegies baie beter voorlangs gevaar het, maar die Plasies se Solly Mukhutu en Funani Mabala het leiding geneem en hulle op die voorvoet gehou. Jece Swart op skrumskakel het ’n meesterlike vertoning gelewer en ’n paar groot Triegies in hul spore gestuit, voordat hy weens ’n besering vervang moes word. Hy en Mervin Julies asook Funani Mabala het die Plasies se drie drieë gedruk, terwyl Louis van der Walt sewe punte met sy skopskoen aangeteken het. Die Plasies het met 22-12 geseëvier. Hulle kom môre in Phalaborwa teen Frans du Toit te staan.
