Havoc On Sunday while most people were out celebrating Reconciliation Day, a severe thunder- and hailstorm hit Mariveni, between Nkowankowa and Letsitele, and also parts of the Tarentaalrand area. The ferocious storm started around 16:30, lasted for about thirty minutes and left a trail of devastation. Mr Themba Ngonyama lives next to the Mariveni Bar Lounge and survived the storm, but his property was severely damaged. Part of his house’s roof was ripped off and several windows were smashed by hail stones. Electronic devices like his TV and entertainment systems are now unusable. The roof of the row of rooms next to his house lies crumpled on the ground. The 33 year-old Mariveni Bar Lounge next door was also severely damaged, with most of the roof lying on the grass behind it. Part of the building’s upper wall tumbled inwards •Continued on page 3

See more Christmas messages on page 5 To be united
After an exciting year, her Worship Mayor Dikeledi Cllr Dikeledi Mmetle: Mmetle wishes residents and Executive Mayor Greater citizens a Marry Christmas and Prosperous New Year. Tzaneen Municipality Most citizens would agree that this has been indeed an exciting year. The year 2012 ended with the final preparations for the hosting of the biggest event of Tzaneen Jazz in the Garden. Christmas is a very special time. It’s a time for family and friends to get together and reflect on the year gone by and celebrate the New Year. That celebration should extend to the good fortune and blessings that we share and appreciate. As we all join together with our loved ones this Christmas let us all take time out to think of those less fortunate than ourselves. Christmas is also a time for giving and receiving, a time
for sharing and for caring for each other. It’s a time for reaching out the hand of friendship and reconciliation and to making sure all members of our community are included. We continue to be African town, a town of the future. We continue to strive for a society that is united, democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous. We continue to build a town that is green, clean and safe. I am deeply honoured to be the First Women Mayor of Greater Tzaneen Municipality and I can assure we will work hard to earn the respect of the entire community so that a positive and lasting contribution can be made to our Town. Most of us will be spending Christmas with our family and friends, rejoicing and making merry but let us remember those who have no family, those who have been abandoned by their friends or who are many miles
from home. They may well spend Christmas alone. The festive season holds little joy for them. Maybe we could all do just one thing to help bring a little happiness into their lives - in the true spirit of Christmas. I said a few moments ago that Christmas was a time for reflection on the year we are leaving behind, but more importantly it is also a time to be looking forward to the year that is about to unfold - a time of hope and of anticipation. Hope that we will have good health and that we will continue to enjoy the love of our family and friends. If going away for the festive season, please take extra care on the roads. On behalf of the Councillors and staff at the Greater Tzaneen Municipality, I wish you and your families all a safe, peaceful and joyful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

and caused most of the ceiling to collapse. By Monday morning repairs were well underway, with many residents fixing roofs or re-building tumbled walls. Crocky Tavern, close to Mariveni Bar Lounge, was a hive of activity with several men on the roof, put on new roofing. The tavern was hit hard with most of the roofing ripped off. Their TV and fridges were damaged and several windows were smashed.
According to the Mopani Disaster Management Centre manager, Mr Hannes Steyn, 534 houses were damaged in Nkowankowa as well as surrounding villages like Joppe and Mariveni. Eighteen people endured light injuries and were hospitalised at the Letaba Hospital. Various organisations and ward councillors worked with the Disaster Management’ staff and some 506 households received food, while 98 tents were distributed to families whose houses were severely damaged. — Retha Nel retha@bulletin.us.com
Serious warning Beware of fireworks
The Greater Tzaneen Municipality appeals to the public to be cautious and sensible when celebrating on New Year’s Eve. It is illegal for people to sell fireworks without fireworks’ license. People are urged to purchase fireworks only from authorised dealers (with a lisence from the SAPS’s bomb disposal office). Street vendors are not allowed to sell fireworks. The GTM’s communication officer, Mr Neville Ndlala, warns that it is illegal for fireworks to be discharged in public places and resorts, and persons caught disobeying the law will be arrested. The GTM has not identified designated areas for the public to discharge fireworks. The public is again encouraged to keep their pets safely indoors, as pets are easily frightened by fireworks and can become distressed and even injure themselves. — Martina Jege martina@bulletin.us.com

Skep nuwe moed
Me Adri Kruger: Direkteur van Limpopo Toerismeraad, voorsitter van SATSA Limpopo, eienaar van Tzaneen Coiuntry Lodge. Soos wat Kersfees en die nuwe jaar alweer hier is, is dit tyd om na te dink oor die jaar wat ons agterlaat. Vir baie was dit ‘n moeilike ekonomiese jaar, en vir baie ‘n traumatiese jaar met verlies van nabye familielede. Tog is daar gedurende die tyd van Kersfees altyd weer nuwe hoop en ‘n nuwe besef van die Een wat gekom het om te sterwe sodat ons kan lewe. Kom ons skep nuwe moed, en laat toe dat die Gees van Kersfees deur ons vloei na die wat minder as ons het, na die wat eensaam is, na die wat honger is. Kom, laat ons die Liefde van Christus deur ons laat skyn vir Kersfees en ook vir die nuwe jaar wat voorlê. ‘n Geseënde en veilige Kerstyd en ‘n voorspoedige Nuwe jaar word u toegewens!

Tzaneen se gemeenskapsambulansdiens groei mooi — bl 7 Die enigste vastepunt
Mnr Dries Enslin, voorsitter van AgriLetaba
Weer staan ons aan ‘n einde van ‘n jaar. Dit was ‘n jaar wat ons as landbou gemeenskap met groot onsekerhede begin het. Gaan dit genoeg reën? Wat gaan met die Groenskrif (grondeise) gebeur? Wat gaan die wêreld-ekonomie maak? Hierdie en nog vele ander vrae was op ons almal se lippe. Maar tog het ons normaal voortgegaan in ons daaglikse bestaan. Ons het geploeg, geplant en geoes. En ons het ‘n lewe gemaak. Net soos ander jare wat ons optimisties was met goeie vooruitsigte. Dit kon net gebeur omdat daar altyd een vastepunt is. ‘n Punt wat ons kan op staat maak in goeie tye en ook in slegte tye en dit is ons geloof in Jesus Christus en die Vader. Hy is die een wat ons altyd deur die onseker tye ondersteun en ons vleuels gee in goeie tye. Hy is die een wat altyd daar is as ons Sy naam aanroep. Daar waar ons nou vir ‘n paar dae gaan afskaal en vakansie hou moet ons ook ons dankbaarheid teenoor hom betoon. Immers is dit die Christusfees wat gevier word in hierdie tyd. Dit is ook ‘n tyd om die familiebande te verstewig en om tyd saam met ons geliefdes deur te bring. Volgende jaar begin ons met dieselfde onsekerhede as ‘n jaar gelede maar ons weet sonder twyfel dat die Drie-enige God daar is om ons laste te dra. Agri Limpopo wil graag aan al sy lede en die gemeenskap seënwense oordra in hierdie tyd. Vir die wat op vakansie is, bid ons vir ‘n veilige reis. Ons vertrou dat ons die nuwe jaar met nuwe ywer, nuwe planne, nuwe optimisme en nuwe geloof sal aanpak.
We promise a safe season
Support the SAPS
The Festive Season is upon us. This is the time of the year when we take a break from our hectic schedules to be with family and friends to celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus and to herald the dawn of the New Year. To ensure that the people of Limpopo and visitors to our province are safe and feel safe, the Department of Safety, Security and Liaison in conjunction with the South African Police Service has recently launched Operation Duty Calls. Operation Duty Calls will see marked increase in police visibility in our communities, high-ways and by-ways. Operation Duty Calls is a Festive Season Gift to the people of Limpopo and visitors to our province. Through Operation Duty Calls we promise the people of the province the safest festive season ever. We also call on all the people of Limpopo and our visitors alike, to observe basic safety and security tips to make it difficult for criminals. Our trust and confidence in the people of the province remain high as they contribute in the fight against crime so that we in Limpopo are safe and feel safe. Fighting crime — it starts with me. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.
For purposes of action, nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will; and success is not a destination that you ever reach, success is the quality of your journey. Throughout the year 2012 members of the Police irrespective of rank or component, were all out for 24 hours in assuring the quality Policing service to the general public with tireless and unconditional support from all the community leaders and structures, with the sole objective of uprooting any criminality within our environment. Fighting crime begins with me, which is a special message to all members of the community to start now in owning all the Policing initiatives applied in your environment, including the community based crime prevention activities such as the

Ons Mening
Ds Barry van der Merwe
Vrydag 21 Desember 2012
NG Kerk Letsitele
Voor(t)spoed ‘n Nuwe jaar klop aan die deur. Gaan 2013 ‘n beter jaar wees vir Limpopo? Gaan die skole betyds handboeke kry? Gaan die openbare gesondheidsdienste verbeter? Gaan erge korrupsie wat die provinsie byna finansieel op die knieë het, uitgeroei kan word? Gaan stadsrade minder geld mors en meer geld sinvol aan dienslewering bestee? Dié vrae huiwer sekerlik en met reg by ons almal wat dink. Net iemand wat glo dat hy/sy profetiese insigte het, sal ‘n voorspelling waag, want die politiek is so vloeibaar soos water. Daar is egter interessante nuwe verwikkelings ná Mangaung, wat beslis ook op Limpopo sal afskuur: • Premier Mathale is nie in president Zuma se goeie boekies nie, en sy posisie is ongetwyfeld in die gedrang; • Alles dui daarop dat Limpopo se prominente rol (Malema) in die ANC Jeugliga vireers verby is; • Die nuwe adjunk-president van die ANC, en mettertyd (dalk gou-gou) ook adjunk-president van die land, is ‘n Venda. Die Vendas is in Limpopo se politiek en regering, op alle vlakke, grootliks op die kantlyn gehou. Dit sal noodwendig verander. Daar wag ‘n interessante jaar op Limpopo. Die politieke toneel gaan verander. Mag dit bo alles ‘n beter jaar wees.
Don’t drink and Drive!
Amateurs Riaan Volschenk van Mieliekloof, Tzaneen, skryf: Amateurs in die politiek is dikwels baie gevaarliker as die politici self. Dit is veral op die vlak van munisipale regering waar ons gereeld sien hoe die amateurs sake bederf. ‘n Goeie onlangse voorbeeld is die DA se lid van Tzaneen se munisipaliteit se uitvoerende komitee. Sy beweer, nadat sy uitgevang is dat sy ja gestem het vir die nuwe munisipale bestuurder se aanstelling en toe in die raadsvergadering nee stem, dat sy “egter tong in die kies gesê” het …... Sy beter en leer vinnig dat daar in die politiek nie juis plek is vir tong in die kies sêgoed as dit oor ernstige sake gaan nie. Sy voer verder aan dat die burgemeester ‘n “vals bewering” in die raad gemaak het. As ek in ‘n belangrike forum soos ‘n stadsraad so oor die kole gehaal word deur iemand wat vals bewerings maak, sal ek op die sterkste moontlike manier beswaar maak en my naam en eerbaarheid beskerm. Ek sal nie wag totdat dit in die media aan die groot klok gehang word en dan aanvoer dat dit ‘n vals bewering was nie. Haar verskoning gaan nie af nie. Dan trap sy ook lekker klei en probeer om met woordspeling haarself te verontskuldig. Sy sê die uitvoerende komitee neem nie besluite nie en maak net aanbevelings. Hoe kom ‘n mens by ‘n aanbeveling as jy nie oor iets besluit nie? Net sy sal verstaan wat sy hiermee probeer sê. Ons weet tog almal dat die aanbevelings van die uitvoerende komitee byna 100% van die tyd net so deur die algemene raad aanvaar en deurgevoer word. Haar poging om die aanbevelings as minderwaardig te bestempel is dus ook ‘n
Terwyl ons op pad is na Kersfees toe, het drie besondere ou wysemanne ons die afgelope maand en `n half ontval. Hulle was nie wysemanne uit die Ooste nie, maar uit die Weste. Op 5 November is die Amerikaanse komponis Elliot Carter oorlede, op die ouderdom van `n 103! Die goud wat dié ou wyseman vir ons dié Kerstyd nalaat, is, behalwe vir al die komposisies, sy werkywer. Tussen sy negentigste en honderdste lewensjare het hy veertig komposisies die lig laat sien. Ná sy honderdste verjaardag, nog veertien! Op 5 Desember is die Amerikaanse jazzmusikant Dave Brubeck oorlede, `n dag voor sy 92 ste verjaardag. Die meeste mense onthou dié ou wyseman vir die groot jazztreffer Take Five wat die Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1959 die wêreld ingestuur het. Wat baie mense nie weet nie, is dat Brubeck ook komposisies die lig laat sien het soos: Beloved Son, Voice of the Holy Spirit en ander komposisies met `n Christelike strekking. Die wierook wat dié ou wyseman vir ons nalaat, is musiek wat ons help om die skoonheid van die lewe te waardeer. Op 9 Desember is die Britse amateur sterrekundige Sir Patrick Moore oorlede, op 89-jarige ouderdom. Alhoewel hy nooit formeel sterrekunde studeer het nie, het hy een van die heel grootstes geword. Hy het op die BBC TV die program The Sky at Night aangebied wat die wêreldrekord hou vir die langste aanbieding deur die oorspronklike aanbieder — langer as vyftig jaar! Hy het meer as sewentig boeke oor die sterrekunde gepubliseer. Die mirre wat dié ou wyseman vir ons nalaat, is om in verwondering op te kyk na die hemelruim. Terwyl ons vanjaar die geboorte van die Beloved Son herdenk, dink ons aan die goud, wierook en mirre van die ou wysemanne uit die Weste: werkywer, die skoonheid van die lewe en verwondering voor die hemelruim, en Hemel. Geseënde Kersfees!

Loslit-dankie Annelise de Jager, hooforganiseerder, Loslitdag, skryf: Dit voel eintlik half onwerklik maar hier is ons alweer aan die einde van nog ‘n jaar. Die winkels hang vol feestelikhede en een van die dae pak almal op vir ‘n verdiende ruskansie. Hier by Loslit Dag kan ons terugkyk op ‘n baie geseënde jaar vol verrassings en opwinding. Om ‘n suksesvolle projek soos hierdie aan te bied is onmoontlik sonder die ondersteuning van die media, veral die koerante! Bulletin was een van die vele koerante wat vir ons ‘n artikel, advertensie, dagboekstukkie of redakteursnota geplaas het om die publiek in te lig oor wat ons doen. BAIE DANKIE! Die finansiële jaareind van die projek is einde Desember waarna die oudit sa begin. Die bedrag wat ons hierdie jaar ingesamel het sal by ons “Show & Tell”-funksies bekend gemaak word, en teen Maart 2013 sal alle geld oorbetaal word aan ons begunstigde welsynsorganisasies.
Lekker deurmekaar Meneer Deurmekaar van Tzaneen, skryf: In u uitgawe van 14 Desember verskyn raadslid Pohl (in haar hoedanigheid as
koukusleier) se brief oor die mees onlangse raadsvergadering, soos gehou op 26 November. Op dieselfde bladsy lig raadslid Van Vuuren ons in oor die mees onlangse raadsvergadering soos bepaal vir 12 Desember. Aangesien die laaste vergadering voor u spertyd afgehandel was, kon ‘n volledige verslag mos op 14 Desember verskyn het. Wie is deurmekaar: die agbare DA koukusleier, raadslid Van Vuuren, u as redakteur of ons as lesers? • Nie ons en ook nie die lesers is deurmekaar nie! — Redakteur
Soek geleenthede Roy Hurter van Tzaneen, skryf: Nog ‘n jaar verby. Nog n jaar wat bewys het dat NIEMAND weet wanneer die wederkoms is nie; nie die oom in Amerika of die Maya’s nie. Nog n jaar waar mense gekom en gegaan het, party uit die dorp na ander dorpe toe en ander, nog steeds in die dorp, maar uit die samelewing, na waar niemand nou weet nie. Dit het my laat dink: ons is so gemaklik in ons eie kokonne en die lewe gaan aan, ongeag. Die lewe gaan oor myself en my behoud en voorspoed en alles wat daarmee gepaard gaan. Ons beplan en reël en visualiseer en bedink ons eie toekoms so erg dat ons die lewe rondom ons ongesiens laat verby gaan. Weet ons van die nood langs ons? Weet ons van die hartseer van ons buurman/vrou? Weet ons van die swart toekoms wat ons medemens in die gesig staar? Maak
dit enigsins saak dat ons genoeg en, in party gevalle, oordadig het, sonder om dit te deel met die wat niks het nie? Is Kersfees net vir ons, met baie, geskep, of is Kesfees juis die tyd dat ons soos die wyse manne van ouds, moet gaan soek na die geleentheid om vreugde te bring aan die wat nie het nie? Is Kersfees in ons harte? Terug by die wyse manne: hulle het ver gereis om die geskenke te bring. Hoe ver gaan ek en jy om Kersveugde te bring? Ons sitkamer? Nie ver genoeg nie. Geseënde Kersfees aan almal en mag ons almal die fees in Kersfees, wyd versprei.
Afrika-stiptelikheid Anza van Vuuren, DA-raadslid, Tzaneen, skryf: Verlede week het ek mos hier ‘n pleidooi vir stiptelikheid gelewer, met die belofte om oor die MPAC-verslag rekenskap te gee. Die raadsvergadering het meer as ‘n uur laat begin (darem beter as Mangaung) en die verslag is so ewe tydens die Raadsvergadering uigedeel. Verstommend! ‘n Landdros was teenwoordig om lede van MPAC ‘n eed van geheimhouding te laat sweer, wat ek natuurlik geweier het. Geen wet vereis dit nie en dis strydig met die DA se strewe na skoon en deursigtige regering. Tydens die vergadering het verskeie kwessies op die agenda my volle aandag geverg; dit sou onwaardig wees om die verslag so tussendeur te lees. My beswaar dat die verslag nie deur ons as komitee bestudeer is nie, is verwerp, dus het ek my, volgens orde, daarvan gedistansieer. Mag u ‘n vreugdevolle Christusfees ervaar en baie ontspan, sodat ons die nuwe jaar met hernude krag kan aanpak.

TAS Bulletin se Amelia de Ridder het met Marcelle Basson, die nuwe bestuurder van Tzaneen se privaat ambulansdiens, gesels Die Tzaneen Ambulansdienste (TAS) wat onlangs hul tweede verjaarsdag gevier het, se wortels is diep in die Tzaneen-gemeenskap geanker. Toe die vorige Zambidiens se wiele tot stilstand geknars het, was daar groot kommer in die gemeenskap.

ontgroei sy kinderskoene Dis nie ‘n hierjy plattelandse diens nie
Die Bulletin het toe ingespring en ‘n groep mense in die gemeenskap genooi om ‘n vergadering by te woon, waar oor die nuwe krisis besin kon word. Rolvertolkers het daar en dan besluit ‘n nuwe diens moet tot stand kom en ‘n loodskomitee is gekies, om die wiele weer aan die rol te kry. Sakelui, salaristrekkers en selfs afgetredenes wat van ‘n spaargeldjie leef het onmiddellik hul harte en beursies oopgemaak en skenkings het ingestroom, om die nuwe diens aan die gang te kry. ‘n Artikel 21-maatskappy, ‘n maatskappy wat nie vir winsbejag sake doen nie en dus as ‘t ware aan die gemeenskap behoort, is toe onder die voorsitterskap van dr Ig van Rensburg gestig en het as ‘n privaat ambulansdiens sake begin doen. Dit het aanvanklik effe
sukkel-sukkel gegaan, maar deur fyn bestuur en goeie finansiële dissipline, het dit gesond gegroei en tans word ‘n uitstekende 24/7-diens gelewer, met ‘n span lojale en hardwerkende paramedici. In die tweede helfte van vanjaar is ‘n nuwe ambulans aangeskaf, ‘n tweede een is meganies oorgedoen, die gekwalifiseerde personeel is uitgebrei en van die personeel is toegelaat om verdere kursusse by te woon en op 1 Desember het ‘n nuwe bestuurder die leisels gevat. Me Marcelle Basson, ‘n oudTukkie met ‘n graad in die Regte en ma van drie, sê sy is al lank betrokke by gemeenskapsprojekte, veral wat kankerlyers betref. Sy sê die vorige ambulansdiens was gereeld betrokke by die versorging van kankerlyers en daarom was sy ‘n groot voorstaander van die nuwe private ambulansdiens. “Ons gemeenskap het dit brood-
nodig”, benadruk Basson. Sy sê sy wil nie net ‘n aktiewe rol speel in die besluitneming, koördinering en algemene bestuur van die besigheid nie, maar dat sy ook heg met die paramedici wil saamwerk. TAS vervoer pasiënte na en van staat- en privaat hospitale. Die diens is dus nie net beskikbaar vir mense wat oor ‘n mediesefonds beskik nie. Die twee ambulanse (een in Tzaneen en die ander een in Phalaborwa) bedien nie net dorpe in die direkte omgewing nie, maar inderdaad die Mopani-streek. Paramedici reis selfs tot so ver as gedeeltes van Mpumalanga en Gauteng, om pasiënte na hospitale te vervoer. Basson verwys daarna dat danksy ‘n ruim skenking van R200 000 deur ‘n groep dokters van Tzaneen, ‘n derde ambulans binnekort aangeskaf kan word. Dit sal baie help om die diens verder te verbeter, veral omdat so ‘n groot gebied bedien word. Dit sal dan ook nie meer so dikwels nodig wees om op hulp van die Netcare- of ER-ambulanse staat te maak nie. Die opgewondenheid is tasbaar wanneer Basson oor die vooruitsigte vir TAS gesels. “Ons streef na groei en verbetering. Daar is nog groot drome en planne vir TAS.” Die ambulansdiens sal binnekort hul baba-skoene (soos sy dit verduidelik) uitskop, wanneer hul paramedici van die “intermediate life support” (ILS)-vlak na die “advanced life support” (ALS)-vlak
groei. Sodra die paramedici bekwaam is om op ALS-vlak te praktiseer, sal hulle onder andere pasiënte vanuit die hoësorgeenheid en baba’s wat te vroeg gebore is, kan vervoer en versorg. TAS se trots is sy bekwame en passievolle paramedici. Die ambulansdiens is 24 uur per dag beskikbaar. Die paramedici werk tweetwee saam in skofte van. Daar is tans ses paramedici in Tzaneen en een in Phalaborwa, wat ‘n kardinale rol in die diens speel. “Dit is ‘n baie gemaklike en ‘amazing’ span saam met wie ek werk,” sê Basson. Sy sê die paramedici kry nie altyd erkenning vir die werk wat hulle doen nie en word soms onnodig gestereotipeer. Paramedici word behoorlik gekeur voor hulle ‘n oorbrugingskursus doen. Daarna word hulle deeglik opgelei, voor hulle as paramedici op verskillende vlakke kwalifiseer. Dit is vir TAS baie belangrik om goeie bande met die gemeenskap te smee. “Daar lê baie passie en eindelose potensiaal in die mense van Tzaneen. Hierdie is net nog ‘n unieke diens waarop die dorp kan trots wees.” TAS beplan om binnekort ‘n ruim en gerieflike basis te betrek, van waar die maatskappy bedryf sal word. ‘n Geskikte perseel word nou oorweeg. • In ‘n noodgeval skakel TAS by 079 306 0666 of deur die beheerkamer by 015 306 0666.

Van Velden hosts Zero HIV ceremony Van Velden Hospital in Tzaneen held a small celebration with its workers, in commemoration of World Aids day. The event was commissioned to encourage health workers to practice safe sex and get tested regularly. The theme of the day was Zero STI, Zero HIV. During the event Van Velden acting CEO, Ms Makhubela, told staff members to join in fighting the disease. She also urged them to support their infected colleagues and stop pointing fingers at them. The attendees were given candles and each person had to light a candle and pledge that they will sup-
port and unite in spreading a positive attitude. The health workers were touched by one of their colleagues, Ms Teresa Roman, who is living with HIV. Roman encouraged her colleagues to get tested. “It’s not the end of the world; all you need to do is just accept it. I have never been off at work because of HIV,” said Roman. One of the staff members Ms Nana Manabe concluded the event by telling her colleagues that it is not HIV that kills people, but rather the attitude of the people around them. — Martina Jege martina@bulletin.us.com

www.bulletin.us.com As a start to the festive season, the Greater Tzaneen Municipality and the Limpopo Traffic Department officially launched the 2012 Arrive Alive campaign outside Tzaneen on Friday. Arrive Alive is a national programme with the aim of curbing road accidents during the festive season. Ms Rirhandzu Selomo spoke on behalf of the GTM mayor, Ms Dikeledi Mmetle, and and encouraged traffic officers to increase their visibility and show no mercy to those who do not obey road traffic laws. She also stated the campaign’s objective is to reduce traffic congestion and accident hazards through the systematic enforcement of traffic laws. During the campaign
Keep our roads safe
traffic officers and police officers performed stopand-searches and other officials handed out pamphlets, outlining the importance of obeying the road traffic laws. Tzaneen’s traffic chief, Mr Johannes Malatji, said the department of roads and transport will
Bib hele Januarie gesluit Tzaneen se dorpsbilioteek het amptelik op 19 Oktober 1990 oopgemaak en is dus nou 22 jaar oud. Die biblioteekgebou is al ‘n paar keer geverf, maar die oorspronklike tapyt en linoleumteëls het gebly. Die biblioteek word druk gebruik en die vloerbedekking is afgeleef en moet vervang word. Die gebou se hele vloer, ongeveer 1 020 vierkante meter, sal gedurende Januarie met teëls bedek word en die biblioteek sal gesluit wees terwyl die teëlwerk gedoen word. Die werk is arbeidsintensief, omdat die oorspronklike vloerbedekking verwyder, krake in die vloer reggemaak en die sementvloerbasis voorberei moet word om seker te maak
die teëls sal heg. Die hele vloer sal ook nie eensklaps geteël kan word nie, maar stuk-stuk. Meubels, boeke en toerusting sal versigtig opsy geskuif moet word, om plek te maak vir die teëlwerk — en dan teruggeskuif moet word, sodra ‘n deel van die vloer klaar geteël is. Terwyl die biblioteek gesluit is, sal biblioteekpersoneel help om boeke te skuif, af te stof en reg te pak. Hulle sal ook administratiewe take verrig en die biblioteek voorberei vir die heropening op 1 Februarie. Biblioteekboeke wat in Januarie 2013 moet terugkom, mag in Februarie teruggebring word, sonder dat boetes gehef sal word.

Renting out your property Many people invest in property for the sole purpose of receiving rental income. Many seminars and business plans are held and promoted for the average “man on the street� to earn a passive income and to secure a good pension. One of the most important factors are, however, often overlooked and does not receive enough attention. It is imperative to find the right candidate when renting out your property. We all know the hair raising stories of home owners who had to spend thousands and thousands of rands in order to evict bad tenants from their homes and then only to find their property ruined and having to spent even more money to do repairs. First of all you need to properly screen your tenants before concluding a rental agreement. Ensure that a written application is received with proper references which can be checked. Bad tenants normally have a tendency to wreck properties and to do this repeatedly. A thorough screening will probably save you a substantial amount of money in the long run. Furthermore, make sure to have a proper legal and binding rental agreement with your tenant stipulating important points as the period of the lease, deposit to be paid, rental to be paid and the yearly escalation thereon. Also when and how notice is to be given, responsibilities of the tenant and provision for legal costs, to name but a few. Ensure that you, as the Lessor, do the right thing. Have your home clean, ready and in good working order before your tenant moves in. Give your tenant enough time to inform you of any defects and see to the repairs promptly. When you consider buying a property for the purpose of renting it out, or considering putting tenants in your home, Mr Willem van Rensburg is the principal of CiS Real Estate in Tzaneen. Call them on (015) 307 2230.

Supersport United has proved that they rule Mopani’s annual Mayoral Charity Cup when they beat Moroka Swallows 4-0 in the final at Giyani Stadium on Sunday. They also beat Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in the opening match earlier in the day. For them it was more than a charity game, but an opportunity to take back their reign in the Mayoral Charity Cup, which was ended in last year’s tournament when they were beaten by Giyani Hot Spurs in a penalty shootout. According to Mopani mayor, Joshua Matlou, the tournament boosts local teams financially and provides a platform for budding players to be developed and recognised by PSL teams. “We have players like Teko Modise and others that were identified in this tournament,” explained the Matlou. He said the main aim of the event was not only to develop local teams, but also to generate funds for various community projects in the district. “Last year we gave R100 000 to each of the

The SA Olympic rowing squad is in their final stages of preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games in London in July and August. And it is all happening in Tzaneen. An initial group of ten are currently staying on Gavin Stanford’s farm, adjacent to the Ebenezer Dam, but the group will grow as more rowers join this final training camp by the end of the week. The group will spend a few weeks training on the Ebenezer and Tzaneen dams, perfecting their technique and skill. According to their coach and manager, Mr Roger Barrow, the Ebenezer and Tzaneen dams are ideal training grounds for the rowers, as the water is clear and calm and it’s not as cold here as in other regions in South Africa. Barrow says that along with these favourable training conditions, a combination of affordable accommodation and easy access to necessities in nearby towns are important. The lightweight men’s four consist of Lawrence Ndlovu, John Smith, Matthew Brittain and James Thompson and Naydene Smith and Lee-Ann Persse form the women’s pair. The group will be joined by amongst others the SA Junior team later this month.

Geldenhuys het op skool reeds getoon dat sy oor baie talent beskik en volgens haar ma, me Charmaine Beetge, is sy steeds nederig en dankbaar vir die geleentheid wat haar te beurt geval het. Beetge het ook ’n groot rol in die nuwe Protea se loopbaan gespeel. Sy is vir tien jaar al by die afrigting van netbal by die Hoërskool Ben Vorster betrokke en haar dogter het dus onder haar bekwame toesig aan haar talent geslyp.

geveer 800 km, en volg ’n roete deur die ongerepte Wes-Kaapse natuur. Die deelnemers het ook ’n totaal van 15 000 m bo seespieël oor van die indrukwekkendste bergpasse geklim. Van Heyningen en Pieterse het in die meestersafdeling meegeding en was algeheel 224 ste in ’n tyd van 50:22:43,8, en 65 ste in die meestersklas. ’n Totaal van 481 spanne het die wedren voltooi. Wat die wedren interessant maak, is dat deelnemers slegs in spanne van twee mag deelneem en dat hulle te alle tye saam moet ry. Spanne moet die eindstreep van elke dag
se skof teen 17:00 bereik. Van Heyningen sê dat hulle alle weersomstandighede beleef het en dat dit ’n baie veeleisende wedren was. Dit was by tye baie koud. Die organiseerders het egter 24 uur van die dag na die deelnemers omgesien. Noodsaaklike voeding, oornagverblyf in tentdorpies, versiening van fietse, masseuses en vermaak is aan hulle verskaf. Die wedren is die grootste van sy soort in die wêreld en die roete verskil elke jaar. Deelnemers sien na vlaktes, majestieuse berge, riviere, woude en pragtige kusgebiede asook wingerde uit, wanneer hulle die wedren aanpak.
