GTM wants R30m ±
to fund EXORBITANT salary increases that are on the cards
Between R25 million and R30 million per year will be needed if the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s council on Monday night approve the new salary structures. Where this money could come from, is anybody’s guess. There are no options other thn to increase rates and taxes and this could ruin Tzaneen’s growth and development. If the new salary scales
are approved a Level 15 worker at the lowest level representing more than 400 labourers (many of them illiterate) will earn between R7 310,69 and R8 019 per month — up from the present R6 010,64. This represent an increase of almost 40% and this is the pattern through all the levels to level 3 (managers). A manager’s salary will increase from the present

R263 766,24 per annum (R21 980,52 per month) to between R362 597,79 per annum and R386 020,80 per annum (R32 168,40 per month). These salaries are without any fringe benefits such as pension, medical, telephone subsidy, car subsidy etcetera. For the purpose of benchmarking the GTM, in cooperation with Samwu, we looked at three Grade 10 munici-

palities, being Stellenbosch, Drakenstein and New castle. Tzaneen was a Grade 8 municipality before choosing to use a different formula for establishing a municipality’s size and status. It is said that nothing has really changed to justify Tzaneen playing in the same league as the other three. Meanwhile the wasteful and fruitless expenditure of the GTM is rapidly climbing, especially since the municipality

is losing one court case after another — at costs running into millions of rands. Residents of Tzaneen will have to bite the bullet and pay up, or else... The only way that the GTM’s councillors could be shocked back to reality would be to start witholding taxes, but this would not be an advisable course of action before all other avenues have been explored.
• It seem that the GTM will yet again not act against the workers who damaged property during the last strike.

Punch-drunk GTM gets another blow in High Court The Greater Tzaneen Municipality has losttheir appeal against a ruling by the High Court that they should honor the employment contract between the GTM and their previous chief financial officer, Mr André le Grange. The GTM didn’t renew Le Grange’s contract in June this year, despite a clause in the contract that stipulated that in the event of his contract not being renewed, he would be employed in a position on the same level and at the same salary scale than before he was contracted to fill the position of CFO. Mr Justice A J Hiemstra found against the GTM and confirmed the High Court’s earlier ruling, ordering the GTM to pay To page 3

Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk...
In hierdie maand van Movember het Vlieg besluit om ook maar sy deel te doen ter ondersteuning van die bewusmakingsveldtog rondom kanker. Hy het darem ook ‘n prostaat en twee testikels. Verder het hy besluit om ook maar weer ‘n slag by sy dokter uit te kom vir die jaarlikse ondersoekies van hierdie juiste onderdele van hom. Omdat Vlieg nie eintlik vriende het nie, het hy homself maar uitgedaag om ook sy gesigsbeharing in ‘n ander styl te dra as die gewone skoongeskeerde oop gesig wat sy ma verkies. Die probleem is egter dat Vlieg nie regtig goed bedeeld is nie, met hare natuurlik. Teen die tweede week van die maand lyk sy bolip toe meer na ‘n puberteitspapie se pubis as ‘n snor, tot groot vermaak van sy maaiers en papies — toe skeer hy dit maar weer af. Hierdie jaarlikse doktersbesoekie vul Vlieg natuurlik altyd weer opnuut met respek vir die mediese professie. Vlieg ken manne wat botweg weier om vir hierdie rede die dok-
ter te besoek. Hulle verskoning het altyd iets met moffies te doen. Nou voordat daar nou weer ‘n klomp klaagliedere opgaan uit die homoseksuele gemeenskap, Vlieg het verlede jaar al vir julle om verskoning gevra omdat hy julle moffies noem, so moet nou nie weer van voor af daaroor ontsteld raak nie. Vlieg is baie meer verdraagsaam teenoor alternatiewe lewenstyle as teenoor meeste politici, kerke en sogenaamde normale mense in die algemeen. Dit is net dat dit so ‘n lekker woord is. Moffie! In elk geval was die ou ondersoekie nie so erg nie. Nie dat Vlieg dit al begin geniet nie, dis net dat dit makliker word elke jaar, en iets is wat hy elke man sal aanbeveel om maar liewer te laat doen, want, so vertel Vlieg se doktersvriende hom, enige kanker is geneeslik as dit vroeg genoeg opgespoor word. Komaan, wees ‘n man, gaan lê op jou linker sy!
Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, afleidings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, galgehumor, ensovoorts van Vlieg is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar, verspreiders, drukkers, medewerkers en personeellede van die koerant nie!

GTM, speak now, or forever hold your peace The Greater Tzaneen Municipality, having become notorious for not being transparent, will have to face some potentially embarrassing questions from a councillor in Monday’s council meeting. Ms Anza van Vuuren (DA) has submitted the following request, for the council’s speaker to handle: Herewith 21 questions, to be included, together with your written responses, in the agenda of above meeting. Allow me to point out that the MM was furnished with these questions on 02 November 2012 for written answers before 13 November 2012. He has chosen to ignore it, therefore it is now submitted to Council. Request for information on capital projects: It is common knowledge that there was litigation on the appointment of contractors for the following contracts: Sasekani Road and Claude Wheatley Street. The following questions arise due to the
above: Why have the corrections as indicated by court not been done and appointments not been made accordingly? Did this delay have the effect that some capital budget and the MIG funding were lost due to not completing the projects? In the MFMA section 32, there is a clear indication on how fruitless and wasteful expenditure must be handled. Can you give a clear indication of the following: Legal cost for the GTM? Legal cost to be paid to applicants because cases were lost with cost? Money paid to contractors for site establishment and cost because of losses in material and labour, due to abandonment of the projects? Cost of spraying water on these roads, and other preventative matters? Procurement cost to correct the situation? Was any investigation done to determine who was responsible for these appointments, and also whether there
was negligence? Were these fruitless expenditures disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements 2011/12, because both cases originated in the 2011/12 financial year? What is the predicted future cost for correction of these matters? What is the risk for fruitless and waste-full expenditure, for not implementing and correcting within due time after the judgement, and who was responsible for the delay and cost thereof? Which scales were used to account legal costs for legal representation; e.g. client/lawyer OR scales set by the Law Society, as this might also present wasteful and fruitless expenditure? Were the GTM’s legal accounts appraised to ensure that the correct fees were paid? Who signed off the legal cost? Fruitless and wasteful expenditure due to extravagant legal fees: The following questions arise because of very high legal costs for 2011/12 and for 2012/13 to date:
What was the legal cost for GTM for 2011/12 and for 2012/13 to date? Also indicate what the actual budgets were and if over expenditure took place. If there was over expenditure not corrected by the adjustment budget, is it regarded as unauthorised? Which scale for legal costs was implemented by the GTM? If the GTM payed higher rates than the prescribed scales, does it present wasteful and fruitless expenditure? Were the legal accounts appraised in order to protect the GTM against extravagant legal costs? Who approved these expenditures – which might prove to be wasteful and fruitless? Can all legal accounts be made available for appraisal by a tax officer to determine if/how much funds were wasted? Which Supply Chain processes were followed to procure legal representation? What motivation can be given for paying legal fees higher than the set
Vet eis kom teen polisie Die regsverteenwoordiger van mnr Rikus Roets, me Elke Vorster van Pretoria, het dié
week teenoor die Bulletin bevestig dat ‘n “substansiële” eis teen die polisie “beslis op die tafel is”, nadat Roets vir 63 dae lank deur die polisie aangehou en toe ontslaan en alle aanklagte teen hom laat vaar is. “My kliënt het ‘n rowwe tyd agter die rug en hy geniet net eers ‘n blaaskans. Sy gemoedstoestand is goed, hy het hard geoefen en lyk lekker fiks en dit gaan goed met hom, “ sê sy. Roets is deur die polisie in hegtenis geneem in ‘n klopjag op ‘n huis waar hy tuis was.

scales, if applicable? What will GTM administration do to ensure that legal fees are paid according to the set scales in the future? Was thorough risk assessments done to determine whether legal matters had to be pursued further, opposed to matters rather be settled, while other options were available in order not to waste the ratepayers’ money on legal costs? Your complete response is awaited, because these questions refer to very serious matters, and, as set out in the MFMA section 32, anybody who has reason to believe that waste-full and/or fruitless expenditure is taking place and doesn’t act on it, can also be held responsible. If it deems necessary, the matter will be escalated in order to protect public funding. • Van Vuuren told the Bulletin that she (the DA)would definitely take the matter further to the highest authorities, should these questions not be answered.

Valke ingelig is en die saak ook by hulle “op die boeke is”. Die prokureurs wat betrokke is, me Karin de Jager vir ‘n groep ‘beleggers’, en me Anita Campbell, vir Ritter, wou nie kommentaar lewer op die jongste verwikkeling nie. Vooraanstaande inwoners van Tzaneen het in die skema ‘belê’.
GTM takes another blow in court From page 1 the costs of the counter application, as well as the cost incurred in July when Le Grange won his application “to be employed in a permanent position on the GTM’s service registers that is commensurate with his status, qualification and experience”. It is estimated that the costs will be close to
R1 million. • We are currently trying to get all the relevant information pertaining to the GTM’s legal costs incurred over the past year. It is, however, not easy, since the cooperation from the GTM in disclosing information is more or less non-existent.

Municipalities are in a mess It is unacceptable that R614,793 million was not spent by municipalities in Limpopo in the 2011/12 financial year, says Ms Desiree van der Walt, the DA caucus leader in the Limpopo Legislature. She referred to the DA’s provincial leader, Mr Jacques Smalle MP, who revealed that lack of proper skills at municipality level is the reason for the continuous failure to spend on Municipal Infrastructure Grants (MIG). Asked how he intended to remedy the failure to spend MIG’ moneys, Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Baloyi said his department would assist the municipalities in the appointment of skilled financial and technical personnel. “These monies are simply returned to the National Treasury by some of our poorest municipalities including Giyani (R10,7m), Greater Tzaneen (R18,2m), Mopani District (R93,8m – yet we reappoint a municipal manager with a bad track record); Makhado (R27,4m) – where the citizens had to march against the municipality to get water, Blouberg (R8m), Aganang (R9,6m), Molemole (R13,4m), Polokwane, our capital city (R111,4m), Capricorn District (R110,7m, Lephalale, where we badly need infrastructure in a very fast growing municipal area, had to return R19,4m, Mookgopong (R13,5m), Bela-Bela (R5,1m) where they could not even approve a budget a year ago, Mogalakwena (R50,8m) and Sekhukhune (R122m). “These are infrastructure-specific grants which must be used to improve service delivery in areas such as health, access to water, electricity and roads and sanitation. “Coming swiftly at the heels of a call by the DA to place malfunctioning municipalities under administration, this information gives further impetus to our call,” Van der Walt said. “Suitably qualified people should be appointed at all times to ensure service delivery, especially in the areas of our poor people in Limpopo.” — Francois Aucamp francois@bulletin.us.com

Revelations shock Limpopo’s Premier Cassel Mathale and some of his officials came under fire in the hearings of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) on the irregular spending of millions of rand during the past financial year. Mathale was found to have reported controversial travel claims worth R641 410, declared wasteful and fruitless by the Auditor General, while the head of the department of sport, arts and culture, Ms Basani Baloyi, was held responsible for spending R57,9 million of her total budget of R295 million irregularly. Scopa chairman Derrick Ngobeni vowed to report Baloyi for misconduct after she failed to present the name of a service provider who received a payment of R5,5 million irregularly. The name was later disclosed as Enabling IT Solutions. Another company, Silver Edge, was found to have been paid R450 000 and R200 BO: Me Susan Scholtz het ‘n aanbieding by die Anselia Blommeklub — “’n blom in elke vrou” — aan 000 for office furniture and figaste gewys, voor hulle tee en eetgoed geniet het.

Regulations were also flouted in payments amounting to R6,3 million in the construction of libraries in four townships. Ngobeni said Baloyi was arrogant, casual and not taking her work very serious, while she is taking Scopa for granted.

The Message
Ons Mening Vrydag 23 November 2012
Ds Barry van der Merwe NG Kerk Letsitele
Inploffing
“En as julle net julle broers groet, wat doen julle meer as ander? Maak die heidene nie ook maar net so nie?” Mat 5:47
Dit is nie vergesog nie om te vra of die inploffing van die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit nog gekeer kan word. Hoe ver is ons van die dag dat ‘n administrateur aangestel sal moet word om te probeer red wat te redde is. Terwyl daar nie geld vir noodsaaklike dienste en veral ook onderhoud is nie, het die GTM se topbestuur (raadslede en amptenare) ook op die Mopani Distriksmunisipaliteit se hofsaakperdjie geklim en verloor die GTM die een hofsaak na die ander — teen groot koste. Hierbenewens moet Maandagaand in ‘n raadsvergadering ‘n besluit oor loon- en salarisverhogings geneem word. Dit kan die GTM se salarisrekening met ‘n astronomiese R25m - R30m laat styg! Gespe maar vas jul sitplekgordels, belastingbetalers van Tzaneen, want daar is nie geld nie en die grootste deel hiervan sal uit belastingheffings moet kom. Daar wag ‘n onplesierige en rowwe rit wat ons beursies aansienlik dunner gaan laat.
Om iemand te groet, is om sy of haar menswaardigheid te erken. In sommige kulture sit jy jou hande saam soos in gebed en buig vooroor wanneer jy iemand groet. Ander kulture vra van jou om `n kniebuiging te maak wanneer jy iemand groet. Geen wonder nie dat wanneer Jesus met mense praat oor hoe hulle behoort op te tree, Hy verwys na iets eenvoudigs, soos groet. Elke keer wat jy iemand vriendelik groet, erken jy sy of haar mens-waardigheid. Elke keer wanneer jy vra hoe dit met hom of haar en die kinders gaan, wys jy vir die persoon dat jy aan hom of haar lewensruimte gun. `n Boer vertel die ander dag vir my dat `n ou plaaswerker vir hom gesê het mense gee nie regtig om of hulle `n minimumloon betaal word nie, solank hulle net menswaardig behandel word. Terwyl daar belangrike gesprekke plaasvind tussen AgriSA, Mynbou, vakbonde en kabinetslede om die onrus in ons land aan te spreek, is daar iets wat elkeen van ons kan doen wat `n groot verskil kan maak: behandel elkeen wat jou pad kruis met respek. So maak elkeen `n bydrae tot ons land se toekoms. Mooi naweek!

Calculating your monthly medical expenses 1. What items should be included when doing the calculation? 2. Oops! Expenses explained (out of pocket expenses) 3. Conclusion How often do we hear that people are complaining about their monthly medical aid premiums? When you are at a social function, a braai or an event where people get to talk about popular topics, medical schemes will be an item surely to be mentioned. In almost all the cases members of medical schemes have a reasonable idea of what their contributions are, except in the few instances where the premium might be borne by the employer. People are aware when these premiums change, as they are informed by the relevant schemes well in advance. At this point in time they might have a relook at the benefits on offer and align it with their own circumstances. More often members are under the impression that if they downgrade on their package they are saving money. This is the reason why we felt that people should be reminded of the pitfalls when they calculate their monthly medical expenses. 1. What items should be included when doing the calculation? i. Medical Scheme Premium. This is the contribution that is paid over to your
Scheme and will include both the risk premium as well as the premium going towards your savings account (MSA). ii. Co-payments. These are the portion of the cost that is not paid by your scheme and something that should be examined very carefully as you are not always aware of it. Most schemes that have an MSA will gladly pay your day-to-day co-payments out of this benefit block, but it might influence the working of your plan. Some examples: a. The self payment gap will increase without your knowledge and when you really need medical services you are out of pocket. b. Your savings account will be depleted faster. c. You should make sure that if your Scheme applies a formulary that you comply with it. d. Also please remember that huge copayments can occur during hospitalisation for items such as internal and external prosthesis or deductibles for certain procedures or even a hospital up-front payment. To factor this into a monthly cost is almost impossible but it is to the benefit of the scheme member to be aware of the risk involved. iii. Admin charges. Some Pharmacies/service providers will charge an administra-
tion fee to submit the claim to your Scheme if you don’t pay cash up front. iv. Professional fees. Pharmacists are allowed to charge a professional fee when they give advice. v. Over the counter medication (OTC). Make sure if and how this is covered by your Scheme. If it is paid from MSA it will have the same effect as co-payments thus increasing the self-payment gap. vi. Pharmacy advice therapy (PAT). The same rule applies to this benefit as for OTC’s. vii. Medication excluded from Scheme benefits. Some Schemes do not pay for schedule 1 and schedule 2 medications from the scheme’s benefits. viii. Benefits not covered by vour Scheme. Make sure you are aware of the benefit structure and how it works. If you don’t for example have a benefit for specialised dentistry or have sub-limits on frames, the risk and cost involved should be calculated and added to your expenses. Because this is basically impossible to do, you need the advice from a healthcare broker when revising your packages at the end of the year. ix. Services obtained in excess of your
Sensus-feite Die Bulletin gaan steeds gereeld interessante sensusstatistiek aanbied. Vandag bied ons twee grafieke aan wat aantoon watter persentasie van die inwoners in die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit se gebied TV-stelle het (die sirkelgrafiek links): 34% het TV-stelle en 66% het nie. Die 34% is steeds hoog as in ag geneem word dat Limpopo die tweede armste provinsie in die land is. Regs is ‘n grafiek met vyf pilare, wat aantoon watter persentasie van die GTM se inwoners kan ‘n kraan oopdraai en water tap. Hiervolgens het 21% van die inwoners nie toegang tot water uit ‘n pyp (kraan) nie, 25% kan binne kort afstand water uit ‘n gemeenskaplike kraan tap, 15% moet redelik ver loop om by ‘n gemeenskaplike kraan te kom, 31% het ‘n waterpyp in die erf en 8% kan water in die huis tap. In die Groter Letaba Munisipaliteit (Modjadjiskloof) het 13% geen toegang nie, 27% kan binne kort afstand water tap, 27% moet relatef ver loop, 27% het water in die erf en 5% het lopendde water in die huis beskikbaar.
Scheme rate. Almost all Schemes have a reimbursement rate to service providers. Please ensure that you understand the implications. For example, if your Service Provider charges in excess of this rate it will have the same effect as co-payments on your MSA. The other implication is that the Scheme might apply split billing i.e. they will reimburse the Service Provider at their rate, but it is up to you to settle the difference with the Provider. This practice can really impact on your relationship with your GP etc. lf you don’t know how it all fits together you might get adverse credit ratings and even blacklisted. x. Top-up or gap cover policies. The premiums for these products should also form part of your calculation.

Bringing light and love to all
• Colleen and Owen Phillips... The pressure mounts as we approach the (for some, not so) festive season. Businesses close their doors; students write their final exams, and financial implications arise as advertisers gulp up our last cents. According to the SA Depression and Anxiety Group’s (SADAG) statistics, 23 suicides take place in SA every day; while another 230 people will attempt suicide daily. SADAG also states that suicide is the fastest growing cause of death in children under the age of 18 in the country! We tend to shy away from our stress, denying possible depression and anxiety as a certain stigma is attached to it. The depression and anxiety support group in Tzaneen tries to eliminate exactly that, helping people manage their mental illnesses through listening, sharing, and comforting. The support group in Tzaneen was set in motion just over a year ago, when Ms Colleen Phillips and her friend (who is a depression sufferer) decided to begin supporting others, wounded by depression. They contacted the national depression and anxiety group and realized that there was no operative group in Tzaneen. The members of the group, along with Phillips (the group leader), wish to improve the lives of people living with depression, anxiety, bipolar mood disorder, stress and phobias. “We are not professionals and we do not offer therapy. Our group offers a place of stability and security where one will find comfort and tips in a confidential and supportive setting”, says Phillips. She also says that it helps people to realize that they are not

alone in their struggle. “Here we understand, listen and we do not judge.” The group also provides emotional support to sufferers Colleen & Owen Phillips
as well as their affected partners and families. “We support them through the wisdom of experience from people who has ‘been there’ and we help them in their quest to lead a normal life”.
Next Saturday (1 December) the Tzaneen Methodist Church will be holding a Christmas Market, selling food, fresh produce, plants, Christmas gifts and a whole lot of other things that people might enjoy during the Festive Season. Individuals who would like to make use of this opportunity to market their own gift items, art work, jewellery, jams and bottled preserves, health and beauty products and the like are welcome to
Phillips has been involved in the health and healing field for most of her life. She owned a health store and worked at the SPCA in Johannesburg before moving to Tzaneen eighteen years ago. Both Phillips and her husband, Owen, have gone for training in Johannesburg, where they were taught by professionals on how to deal with the mentally ill. Phillips says that although some of the problems that some people face are exceptionally difficult to deal with, she tries not to identify herself with it. “It is difficult to separate one’s personal life from the life inside the group”. She says that she, however, always does what she can to assist and try to think of ways she can help. To her, the most satisfying feeling is when she can actually see that she has helped. Phillips keeps people’s visits confidential. She welcomes not only sufferers to the group, but also those who feel that they are able to help, as well as those who need advice on how to help others. “We are here to bring light and love into people’s lives”, Owen adds. The group meets every second Thursday at 18:30 in the Macadamia Village’s community centre. For assistance or more information, contact Phillips on 015 307 5137 or 071 853 2121. The SADAG organization is also available 24/7 on a toll-free line at 0800 12 13 14. — Amelia de Ridder
come and set up a stall and join in the fun! Call Hillary Gows on 083 287 2614 to book your space. The venue is at the Tzaneen Methodist Church (8-10 Peace Street), with space available indoors and outdoors. The market will start at 09.00 and close at around 14.00 (the venues will be available for set up from 07.00). Among other needs, the proceeds of the day will be used for our Eve’s Rib

Die swak (in sommige gevalle vrot) toestand van veral die kombuise en badkamers van die aftreehuise in die Pioniers-oord in Tzaneen, het mnr Vic Walkinshaw en sy gesin (eienaars van Build It in Tzanen, Letsitele en Nkowankowa) so aangegryp dat hulle besluit het om iets daadwerklik te doen, om die senior burgers se lot te verbeter. Sy seun Vic (links), wat die winkel in Tzaneen bestuur, het die leiding geneem om ‘n span bymekaar te kry en een huis heeltemal oor te doen; met die voorneme om voortaan een huis per jaar oor te doen. Die badkamer met net ‘n stort is so verander dat ‘n bad ingebou kon word, ‘n moderne handewasbak en toilet is ingesit en die vertrek is geteël tot plafonhoogte; in die kombuis is nuwe kaste ingebou, ‘n oond en plate is in ‘n netjiese granietblad ingebou, die vloer en mure is geteël; en die res van die huis is oorgeverf, nuwe ligbehore is gehang en alles lyk blinknuut. Die reeks foto’s wys hoe die oue in die nuwe verander is.

Oud-Plasie sterf, vriend kritiek
‘n Gru-motorongeluk om ongeveer 02:00 Vrydagoggend naby Hoedspruit het die lewe van die jong Jason Olivier (19) geëis. Sy boesemvriend, Derian Koekemoer (19), het die ongeluk wonderbaarlik met erge sny- en kneuswonde en ‘n gebreekte bekken oorleef. Die twee jong manne (albei oud-leerlinge van die Hoërskool Merensky) was op pad na Kampersrus toe Olivier vermoedelik agter die stuur aan die slaap geraak het. Hy het glo geskrik toe hy deur sy vriend aan die arm geskud is, om hom wakker te maak. Hy het beheer oor die voertuig verloor en dit het van die pad geloop en omgeslaan. Die Volkswagen Polo waarin hulle gery het, het volgens konst Livhuwani Mulaudzi (polisiewoordvoerder van Hoedspruit) teen ‘n padteken gebots en dit blyk dat Olivier vanweë die slag hiervan op slag dood is.
Volgens Derian se ma, me Karin Koekemoer, het Olivier deur die oop venster van die bestuurder se deur uitgeval, terwyl haar seun deur die voorruit ‘getuimel’ het. Sy bevestig dat Koekemoer in ‘n stabiele toestand is, maar steeds nie
buite gevaar is nie. “Hy is tans in die Rob Ferreira Hospitaal in Nelspruit, waar daar penne in sy bekken ingeplant sal word,” het sy Dinsdagoggend aan ons bevestig. Sy sê hy lyk “verskriklik” omdat die doringdraad hom flenters gesny het. “Hy sal moontlik vir nog sowat ‘n week in die hospitaal wees, voor hy vir ‘n verdere ses weke bedlêend sal wees”. Daar word bespiegel dat dit aan Koekemoer se groot liggaamsbou te danke is dat hy nie veel erger beseer is nie. ‘n Lykskouing is Dinsdag gedoen en het glo bevestig dat Olivier se nek en rug ernstig beseer is. Teen ons druktyd was die begrafnisreëlings nog nie afgehandel nie. Olivier laat sy ouers, Gavin en Sonja, en ‘n broer, Jonty, agter. — Amelia de Ridder amelia@bulletin.us.com

Burgersdorp gets a brand new R7m football facility
The SA Football Association (SAFA) and the National Lottery Board officially handed over the control of the Burgersdorp Artificial football turf facility to the Greater Tzaneen Municipality on Saturday at Burgersdorp. The R7 million facility will be used for football and youth development activities. Seen in the photo are the GTM acting mayor, Mr Casious Machimana, Ward 28 councillor, Mr Tarzan Mushwana, SAFA president, Mr Kirsten Nematandani and SAFA’s member of the National Executive, Mr Nomavhola Khorombi, at the official opening of the football turf facility.
The SA Football Association (SAFA) and the National Lottery Board officially handed over the control of the Burgersdorp Artificial football turf facility to the Greater Tzaneen Municipality on Saturday at Burgersdorp. The president of SAFA, Mr Kistern Nematandani, attended the event, accompanied by SAFA’s project manager, Mr Joe Carrim. Mr Nomavhola Khorombi, a member of SAFA’s national executive, also attended the event. The R7 million facilities will be used for football and youth development activities. It consists of a clubhouse with changing rooms and ablution facilities and parameter fencing. The project is a FIFA initiative aiming to leave a legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. During the event Nemantandani addressed the crowd and urged them to utilize the turf, as the pitch was made for them to advance their soccer skills.
He said that the pitch was designed in an artificial way to avoid the use of water because of SA’s water scarcity. “The turf has a greater longevity compared to natural grass: people must just utilize it and also take care of it”, said Nemantandani. Khorombi urged the GTM to match the R7 million spent in the construction of the facility by building spectators’ stands and a netball court. She also thanked the National Lottery for funding the initiative. The chairperson of the National Lottery, Prof Alfred Nevhutanda, called on the GTM to create a sporting hub in Burgersdorp by integrating other sporting facilities. “I think a big swimming pool can be constructed to introduce swimming to our young black people.” — Martina Jege martina@bulletin.us.com

Millions spent irregularly An amount of R47,8 million was spent irregularly by the Limpopo department of social development in the past financial year, it was found by the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) last week. The acting head of department, Ms Deliwe Nyathikazi, appeared before the committee to account for a number of red flags raised by the Auditor General in the department’s books. The depaerment was found to have extended a 25-year frail care services contract signed in 1986 with the company Life Esidimeni, which was supposed to end in
January 2011 by more than two years at a cost of R35,6 million. A further R2 million was incurred for failing to issue a purchase order for goods and services procured while R1,1 million was irregularly spent on purchasing school uniforms. Nyathikazi promised that all the officials responsible for the irregular expenditure would be pursued. The department was also found to be facing a number of lawsuits which could cost millions of rand.

DPW cannot account for assets
The department of public works in Limpopo had to explain to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) why Limpopo still does not have a credible asset registry. The head of the department, Mr Madidimalo Chamano, was almost dismissed in the opening minutes of the inquiry, when the committee found his response to questions on the department’s failure to implement resolutions taken almost four years ago wanting. The department, whose audit outcome regressed from a qualified to a disclaimer, was lambasted for not taking the committee seriously, submitting responses at the eleventh hour and refusing to submit documents to the Auditor General during the audit process. The department was also taken to task for incurring R30m in irregular expenditure, R21m of which was spent on 41 security companies whose contracts were extended for six months, without advertising it. The department also had R3,5 million declared fruitless and wasteful expenditure in the past financial year, including R347 000

‘Cheers’! vir ‘n ‘huildronk’ op die GTM Iewers in die Tzaneen-omgewing is daar die afgelope naweek gefuif dat die biesies bewe — op peperduur drank wat “met die komplimente van die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit aangeskaf is. ’n Tzaneense sakeman, mnr Trevor Hunter, eienaar van die Marana drankwinkel in Adshadestraat, het ’n verlies van nagenoeg R37 000 gely, toe ’n bedriër drank by hom bestel en spoorloos daarmee verdwyn het. Wat die voorval vir Hunter des te meer skokkend maak, is die feit dat die persoon hom as ’n senior amptenaar van die GTM voorgedoen het. Hy sê baie amptenare ondersteun hom en hy het dus geen snuf in die neus gekry toe die lekker groot bestelling van die GTM by hom geplaas is nie. Die man het Hunter gebel en hom as Josef Sekgobela, die assistent-direkteur van die GTM se “supply chain”-afdeling wat alle aankope doen, voorgedoen. Hy het ’n kwotasie vir drank gevra en ‘n rukkie later die bestelling op ’n briefhoof van die GTM aan Hunter per e-pos gestuur. Hunter het die bestelling bymekaar gekry en Sekgobela op sy selfoon geskakel, waarna Sekgobela versoek het dat Hunter die drank by die GTM moet aflewer. By sy aankoms het hy Sekgobela gebel, wat hom toe na die GTM se magasyn in Kewstraat gestuur het, waar twee handlangers hom sou help om die drank af te laai. Dit is daar dat die slenter sy slinkse kinkel gekry het. Die magasyn was gesluit en Hunter is saam met een van die handlangers terug na die GTM se kantore om die sleutel by Sekgobela te kry. Hulle het die drank in die tweede handlanger se bewaring gelaat. By die kantoor kon Hunter nie Sekgobela
opspoor nie en by navraag het niemand van so ‘n persoon geweet nie. Toe Hunter onraad vermoed en hom terug na die magasyn haas, was dit te laat. Die handlangers en die drank het spoorloos verdwyn. Volgens ooggetuies het ’n wit minibus met vier mans stilgehou en die drank vinnig opgelaai en laat spaander. Volgens amptenare by die GTM lyk die brief met die stempel daarop eg, maar die kontakbesonderhede is vreemd. Sekgobela se selnommer, wat ook op die briefhoof verskyn, word sedertdien nie beantwoord nie. Die brief het ook verskeie spelfoute en selfs die woord ‘municipality’ is verkeerd gespel. Duur drank, soos 48 bottels Johnny Walker Black Label en ander twaalfjaaroud whiskey, Amarula likeur, ’n kas sjampanje, bier, en koeldrank was deel van die bestelling. Hunter het intussen ’n saak van bedrog by die polisie aangemeld. — Jean Aucamp jean@bulletin.us.com

No more troubled waters for Something Fishy The Something Fishy franchise in Tzaneen (where they now sell pap, tripe and braaimeat) is yet to be visited by the national franchise development executive, Mr Herman van Zyl. The Bulletin broke the fishy news that the store is now selling traditional foods (claiming it to be the “new menu” on signage in and around the store) four weeks ago. The owner of Something Fishy in Tzaneen, Mr
Peet Bezuidenhout, stepped into defense by saying that he had gotten permission from the franchiser to sell these additional meals. However, when we contacted the head office we were told, “it was not allowed”. When speaking with Van Zyl throughout the past couple of weeks, he assured us of his dismay with the dilemma and it was clear that the problem was inadmissible. We contacted him once again on Wednes-
Voortrekkers van Letaba gee erkenning aan lede Die Letaba Voortrekkers het onlangs hul sesde jaar afgesluit en ‘n baie besige 2012 met ‘n erkenningsparade gevier. In die baie besige jaar het jeuglede op verskeie plekke in die land aan kampe deelgeneem. Dit gaan goed met die kommando en verskeie lede is vereer vir hul diens aan die kommando deur die loop van vanjaar.
Mariké Joubert is as die Verkenner van die Jaar aangewys.
REGS BO: ‘n Brons medalje vir spesiale diens op kommandovlak het gegaan aan Maryka Venter en Boshoff Spengler. Elsobe’ Joubert, die adjunk-kommandoleier (regs) het die medaljes oorhandig. REGS: Die Letaba Voortrekkerkommando se Verkennerspan van die Jaar is die Visarende. Hier is Ánnika du Plessis, Elsobe’ Joubert(spanoffisier) en Gideon Joubert. LINKS: Die kommando se PD-span van die jaar vir 2012 is die Papegaaie. Hier is André Spengler (ook aangewys as Senior Penkop van die Jaar), Boshoff Spengler (spanoffisier: Papegaaie), Gideon Serfontein en Clariska Venter (ook aangewys as die Senior Drawwertjie van die jaar).
day, when we were told that the franchise in Tzaneen would still sell meat and pap (no longer tripe) as it caters for 95% of the low income market. “The dishes are more of an ‘inhouse’ special and it will not be displayed on the menu”, Van Zyl said. Fish-lovers apparently now get a free portion of cabbage with every meal too. — Amelia de Ridder amelia@bulletin.us.com
