Heksejag op prokureur Mense is besig met ‘n heksejag op mnr Conrad Krüger, bekende en soms ook omstrede prokureur en eiendomsontwikkelaar van Tzaneen. So het Krüger gister in ‘n persoonlike onderhoud met die Bulletin gesê, nadat ons vasgestel het dat nog ‘n groot eis — die bedrag is R16.669 miljoen — teen hom ingestel is.
Die eiser in die jongste geval is Fillsant General Trading BK van Pretoria en die verweerders is Blue Moonlight Properties 82 (Edms) Bpk (Krüger se maatskappy wat onder meer die Golden Acres-sekuriteitslandgoed in Tzaneen ontwikkel het), Krüger in sy persoonlike hoedanigheid as tweede verweerder
Lowveld’s Duke is back The Duke and Duchess of Atholl are back, following a trip to Blair Castle in Scotland during which the Duke officially opened the annual Atholl Gathering
en Krüger in sy hoedanigheid as trustee van Mafunyane Trust as derde verweerder. Die eis spruit uit ‘n lening van R7 miljoen aan Blue Moonlight in Februarie 2010. Volgens die hofstukke moes die bedrag binne ses maande terug betaal gewees het, maar slegs twee betalings is gemaak, nadat oor ‘n verlenging van die termyn ooreengekom is. Die eerste betaling moes binne dertig dae geskied het en die balans daarna in paaiemente elke dertig dae. Daar is egter net twee betalings gemaak: R990 849 op 20 Augustus 2010 en R600 000 op 12 Desember 2011. Intussen het Fillsant bereken dat rente daartoe bygedra het dat die skuld nou R16 669 318.16 bedra. Hulle eis derhalwe dié bedrag. Krüger sê dié eis word teengestaan en hy is “besig met skikkingsvoorstelle wat waarskynlik sal slaag”. Die veiling van Krüger se woonhuis waarop Absa ‘n beslaglegging verkry het, is ‘n week gelede afgeweer, toe Krüger ‘n dag voor die tyd sowat R18 000 wat aan die bank verskuldig was, betaal het. Hy sê dit was weens ‘n misverstand tussen hom en die bank dat die saak so ver gevoer is. Tydens die onderhoud het Krüger gesê mense probeer om hom “te sink”. Hy vind dit vreemd en frustrerend dat sy sake in die media oopgevlek word, terwyl mense nie met hom hul probleme kom bespreek nie. “Daar is altyd twee kante aan ‘n saak en ek het antwoorde op alle vrae wat mag opduik. “Ek het niks om weg te steek nie en is besig met ‘n klomp litigasie om sake reg te ruk. Ek lees in die media dat ek by die Pokureursorde verkla is, maar ek het niks van die Orde gehoor en niks is op my beteken nie. My praktyk se trustrekening is al ‘n paar keer ge-oudit en dit is 100% in orde. Daar is geen fout nie. “Die teenspoed wat ek gehad het met ‘n maatskappy in Phalaborwa wat aan die mynbedryf voorsien het en weens die Marikana-stakings in duie gestort het, moet ook nog afgehandel word. Dit was ‘n groot finansiële terugslag,” sê Krüger. Hy het ook gesê dat hy in die verlede dalk ‘n fout gemaak het met ‘n te hoë lewensstyl. Hy praktiseer nou weer heeltyds as prokureur en kan dus nie bekostig om nie ‘n reguit pad te loop nie. “Daar word baie bewerings gemaak, maar bewerings wat nie getoets is nie of net by bewerings bly, is onredelik en onaanvaarbaar,” sê hy.
7 Mayors to be axed 13 Treat your pet well Councillors’ tongues are tied 7 The twelveth Duke of Atholl, Bruce Murray, described this year’s event as very pleasant, especially seeing that the weather played along and the sun shone on Blair Castle when Europe’s only private army underwent its annual inspection. This is a task Bruce, as colonel-in-chief, has to perform every year. Two of the Murray sons, David and Michael, formed part of the procession (Bruce’s late father [the 11th Duke], John Murray, lived in Haenertsburg for many years). Both joined this 175-year-old regiment a few years ago. The regiment was formed after Lord Glenlyon first took a bodyguard of men to a medieval tournament at Eglinton in Ayrshire in 1839. Five years later, the Atholl Highlanders mounted guard for Queen Victoria’s stay at Blair Castle and were granted the queen’s colours. They also were granted the right to legally bear arms as a private force — an honour that remains in place today. This year’s parade attracted widespread interest and the
media houses that attended the event included the world’s second largest newspaper, Asahi Shimbun from Japan and the French daily newspaper, Le Figaro. Saturday’s parade was followed by a day of sport on Sunday as the Atholl Highlanders officially opened the Highland Games to massed pipes and drums. Events included solo piping, tossing the caber, throwing the hammer, highland dancing and the heavy-weights competition. Seen here are the 12th Duke of Atholl, Bruce Murray (centre),and his two sons during the recent Atholl Gathering. On the left is Lieutenant Lord David Murray, holding the Queen’s Colours given to the regiment by Queen Victoria in 1845, and on the right is Captain Michael Murray, who also has the title of The Marquis of Tullibardine, holding the regimental colours. — LiN News/Zoutpansberger

Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk...
Vlieg het weliswaar nie arm grootgeword nie, hoewel hulle nou nie dik daarin was nie. Hy sou eerder sê sy herkoms is nederig! Dit beteken noodwendig dat hy as maaier nie alles gehad het wat ander maaiers gehad het nie. So moes hy by maatjies gaan Pack Man of Space Invaders speel, want hy het nie self ‘n Atari gehad nie. Of hy moes tevrede wees om Pin Ball op die stoep voor die Griek se kafee te speel, terwyl hy darem ‘n “drink here” Coke kon geniet. Vlieg moes ook nog lank met sy straight handle Raleigh ry, terwyl ander maaiers al drop handle Peugeots gehad het. Vlieghulle het ook nie ‘n videomasjien gehad nie, nie eers ‘n Beta nie, wat nog van VHS. Vlieg dink dit was dalk, of dalk nie, vir dieselfde ekonomiese redes dat sy ouers ook nooit vir hom daai boek gekoop het wat al die ander maaiers se ouers vir hulle gekoop het nie: Wat Maaiers Wil Weet, of so iets! Dit was in elk geval nie nodig om daai goed in boeke te lees nie. Daarvoor het Vlieg ‘n ouer nefie gehad, en sy pelle ouer broers. By hulle kon ‘n maaier of ontluikende papie
tussen rugby en porn as wat hy besef. Die meeste manlike maaiertjies begin al op ‘n jong ouderdom daarmee. Albei maak hulle sweterig en laat hulle harte vinniger klop. Baie doen dit skelm, omdat hulle skaam is daaroor. Almal geniet dit, maar sal dit nooit erken nie, en almal voel na die tyd skuldig daaroor en besluit om dit nooit weer te doen nie. En daai besluit hou gewoonlik nie lank nie! Gelukkig vir die moeders is die Superrugby vir die volgende maand eers op ys terwyl rondebolkoors uitgebreek het in die Portugese plakkerskamp in die skadu van Cristo Redentor. Dit behoort lank genoeg te wees om die asem terug te kry, boetie se kamer te deursoek vir onbehoorlike tydskrifte en ongemerkte video’s, en ‘n slag of twee op die dominee se skouer te gaan huil! • Ai, dié Vlieg darem. Ons het oorspronklik ooreengekom dat sy bydraes nie gesensor sal word nie, maar elke kort-kort toets hy ons. Terwyl hy nou wel nie onder sensuur geplaas is nie, moes ons noodgedwonge dié week die sensor se sker, of eerder: die sensor se dik swart pen, inlê — Redakteur
meer leer as wat hy wou. Dis ook by hulle wat Vlieg sy eerste porn gekyk het. En geleer rook het. En draadtrek! Vlieg kan sommer hoor hoe slaan al wat Calvinistiese moeder is nou haar hande saam en snak na haar asem. Porn en draadtrek! Ja tannie, Vlieg is van baie dinge in die lewe baie onseker, maar oor een ding sal hy met albei sy vlerke op jou Bybel kom sweer. Dit maak nie saak hoe groot jou hoed is wat jy Sondae dra nie, jou mees voorbeeldige, skoongesig, goedgemanierde, welopgevoede en selfs teruggetrokke maaiertjie het al, of gaan binnekort, porn kyk. En hy trek draad! Dis wat hulle doen! Vra maar vir Divan Serfontein se ma. Haar maaiertjie het nie net ‘n dokter geword nie, maar was ook Springbokkaptein, en hy kyk porn! Hoe anders sal hy weet dat om deesdae se Superrugby te kyk dieselfde is as om ‘n blou film te kyk? Hy reken die ooreenkoms tussen die twee is dat dit dieselfde ding is wat oor en oor gebeur. Vlieg stem saam, maar dink daar is egter meer ooreenkomste

Civic Centre garden needs TLC Concern over the appearance of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s garden at the Civic Centre in Agatha Street has raised questions — the most pressing being: Who is responsible for the garden’s maintenance? Bulletin approached the GTM to find out who was responsible for the maintenance. According to the GTM’s assistant communications officer, Ms Vutivi Makhubele, the GTM’s Parks Division is responsible for maintenance of the garden at the Civic Centre. Makhubele told us that, “the GTM’s Parks Division previously had a contractor who was responsible for the maintenance at the Civic Centre, and maintenance was done five times a week. Parks is currently doing the maintenance while we are in the process of publishing adverts to appoint another contractor to take over. At this moment we are unable to work on a proper maintenance programme, due to the division’s shortage of manpower. The workers rotate from place to place”. She added that the division tries to keep the irrigation system in as good a condition as
GTM is looking for a Comms Manager The Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s corporate services department has advertised the vacant post of Manager in their Communication and Marketing Divison. The advertisement comes two years after its former Manager, Mr Thulani Twala, resigned, following his alleged “refusal to collude with the Union (SAMWU) for personal expediency at the expense of Council”. This he expressed in a media statement. A GTM Communications Officer, Mr Neville Ndlala, has been acting as head of the department since Twala’s departure. It is not known if Ndlala plans to apply for the job.

Hondemoles rig groot skade aan Geen vordering is nog gemaak in die ondersoek na die diereslagting by ‘n troeteldierwinkel in Tzaneen nie, waar duisende rande se skade verlede maand deur ‘n hond aangerig is. The Flower Pot & Pet Shop naby Die Blomskuur het op 1 Mei lelik deurgeloop toe ‘n hond deur die palissadeheining geglip en by die dierehokke “ingebreek” het. Die klein Jack Russell het sestien hase en elf hoenders vrekgebyt. Twee duiwe en ‘n lovebird het ook in die slag gebly, terwyl etlike duiwe uit een hok ontsnap en weggevlieg het. Die eienaars van die winkel, mnr Philip en me Louise Jacobs, sê hul skade beloop
minstens R10 000. Hulle het die volgende aand in die winkel geslaap en daarin geslaag om die hond op sy herbesoek te vang. Jacobs het die hond aan die DBV oorhandig, wat dit ‘n paar dae later aan die regmatige eienaar teruggegee het. Die voorval is ook by die polisie aangemeld as saaknommer 19/05/2014. Volgens hom was die samewerking van die polisie nie na wense nie. Hy moes self die aanval in die voorvalleregister (OB) invul. Sedertdien het hy nog nie weer van die polisie gehoor nie. Die Jacobs-egpaar het ‘n vermoede wie die eienaar van die hond is, maar allerhande teenstrydighede verhinder hulle om teen hom op te tree.

IEC allegedly withheld staff payments
— Arnold Mabunda, arnold@bulletin.us.com
Father’s Day Die Polisie in Tzaneen het nog tot Woensdagmiddag ontken dat hulle iets weet van die rooftog vroeër die week by ‘n gruisgroef tussen Tzaneen en Nkowankowa. By die Bulletin is niemand slim genoeg om dié geheim te ontrafel nie. Die ganse kontrei se mense praat van die rooftog waarin ‘n vragmotor en ‘n LAW gesteel is, van die rowers SAPD-glimbaadjies gedra het, hulle met R5-aanvalsgewere gewapen was en die speurhoof glo op die toneel opgemerk is. Die vragmotor is (glo deur polisielede) opgespoor en na die Polisiekantoor in Tzaneen gebring, waar dit geparkeer is (teen die verkeer).

A rather big number of contracted IEC staffers who were deployed to facilitate the 7 May general elections accuse the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) of having withheld their payment. The workers say some of them waited for five weeks and still had to go without money. One of the people said that before they started working for the IEC they were told to expect payment within two weeks. The same person said he has still not seen a single cent. The IEC provincial office was not available for comment at the time of going to print. However, we have learnt from a reliable source that the IEC has encountered a number of challenges with the payment of contract workers — one being that the accounts submitted by some of the workers were invalid.

Department condemns rape The Department of Social Development has condemned the rape of a one-year-old girl by her two cousins aged 10 and 15 years at Shihoko, Ritavi. The incident reportedly occurred on 1 June, but was only reported to the police on Tuesday last week. This incident happened just four days after the end of the National Child Protection Week. Departmental spokesperson Adele van der Linde said that “we condemn this kind of an act of violence against vulnerable children in the strongest possible terms. The Department implores communities to seek professional help from social workers” said Van der Linde.
Vier vas danksy samewerking Nog vier vermeende renosterstropers is agter tralies, danksy goeie samewerking onder boere. Skaars twee weke nadat drie vermeende renosterstropers vasgetrek is by Eckland Safari’s, het boere van die Alldaysomgewing gewys hulle kan goed saamwerk, toe hulle vier stropers op die plaas van mnr Johan Kruger gevang het. Bure, vriende en die polisie het tot Kruger se hulp gekom, nadat ‘n dragtige renosterkoei op sy plaas gedood is vir haar horings en nog een gewond is. Die vier verdagtes wat op Kruger se plaas aangekeer is, is tussen die ouderdomme van 36 en 41 en drie is Suid-Afrikaners, terwyl een glo van Mosambiek kom. Die verhoorafwagtende Dawie Groenewald het gehelp met die soektog. Groenewald, ‘n goeie vriend van Kruger, het sy helikopter beskikbaar gestel vir ‘n soektog vanuit die lug. Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder Ronel Otto bevestig dat ‘n .375-jaggeweer met ‘n knaldemper, ammunisie, ‘n bebloede jagmes en twee renosterhorings by die mans gevind is. — LiN Nuus/Zoutpansberger

Tzaneen se Poskantoor-skande
Tzaneen se nuwe Polisiebevelvoerder, brig Christene Bensch, sou gistermiddag (Donderdag) samesprekings met die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit oor onder meer die probleme om die dorp se vieslike Poskantoorgebou en -terrein gevoer het. Dit was te laat vir ons om voor ons druktyd oor die uitslag van die samesprekings navraag te doen. Straatslapers, baie van wie meesal bedwelmd is omdat hulle gom, petrol en ander middels snuif, het Saterdagnag (weer) vuur gemaak in die gebou en redelike groot brandskade is aan houtdeure, vloerteëls en glas veroorsaak. Ons het Woensdag navraag hieroor gedoen en vreemd genoeg gevind dat die posmeester, mnr Rodger Makgoboya, nie die voorval en die skade aan sy provinsiale hoofkantoor deurgevoer het nie. Mnr Johan Kruger van die Poswese se streekhoofkantoor in Polokwane het gesê hulle is onbewus van die brand en gepaardgaande skade. Die Polisie se woordvoerder in Tzaneen, lt-kol Ngoepe, het eweneens kennis van die
brand ontken. Die Poskantoorterrein is reeds lank ‘n doring in die vlees vir Tzaneen se inwoners. Die reuk van urine hang menige dag swaar in die lug en in die gebou. Die terrein lyk ook baie dae soos ‘n opelug-veldtoilet. Verder lê rommel buite om die gebou, baie daarvan papier en kartonne wat die straatslapers as komberse gebruik. Mense sê die vieslike terrein rym nie met ‘n dorp wat onlangs as die TV-program Kwêla se “Dorp van die Jaar” benoem is nie. Dit rym ook allermins met die gereelde “Skoonste dorp in Limpopo”-toekennings wat Tzaneen ontvang nie. Dit dui daarop dat die toekennings nie op meriete gedoen word nie, of dat die res van die provinsie se dorpe in ‘n ellendige toestand moet wees. Bensch het duidelik ‘n nuwe aanslag en ‘n mening oor al die verkeerde dinge in die dorp. Benewens die straatslapers en gomsnuifers pla die misbruik en diefstal van winkelwaentjies haar ook. Dit blyk dat die bestuurders van die groot afdelingswinkels in die dorp min gepla is met die skade aan
waentjies. ‘n Winkelwaentjie kos deesdae heelwat meer as R1 000 en die verbruikers moet maar daarvoor opdok. In die verlede het die Polisie gesê die winkeleienaars moet die diefstal en/of onregmatige gebruik van die waentjies aanmeld en dan kan dit ondersoek word. Maar die winkeleienaars doen dit nie en staan onverskillig teenoor die probleem. Bensch is ook bekommerd oor die informele handelaars (smouse) wat die dorp, veral in die sakekern, stelselmatig en toenemend beset en onwettig handel dryf. Dit is die GTM wat moet optree en hul wetstoepassers hiervoor moet gebruik, maar hulle kyk met gevoude arms hoe die probleme toeneem en besig is om buite beheer te raak. • Foto’s deur Louis Roux, Arnold Mabunda & Maureen Knoesen.

What is it that the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s councillors would like to hide from their ratepayers and the public at large? Could it be the exorbitant legal fees that they (have to) pay to defend their poor decisions? Or the fact that certain attorneys are being paid excessive fees? Could it be the fact they allow their own by-laws to be ignored and challenged by informal traders, people occupying land illegally and the appalling conditions at the Talana Hostel complex? Could it be the fact that infrastructure in Tzaneen (the hen that lays the golden eggs as far as revenue is concerned) has been neglected to the point that systems now begin to collapse? Could it be that they feel guilty — which is unlikely — about the wasteful and fruitless expenditure on eats and drinks, functions, luxury vehicles, corporate gifts, golden hand shakes etcetera? Could it be that they have failed so miserably (service delivery) that they can’t afford the populace to hear the facts? Could it be that nepotism, tender corruption, favouritism and other shady practices have come back to haunt them? Whatever it is, we will be there to watch over their activities and behaviour and we will continue to report on it without fear or favour; in the interest of our community.

Orlando Chauke (who also took the photo) reports that she didn’t shy away from showing her happiness and excitement after she had received her results. She is one of Limpopo’s top pupils and obtained distinctions in Xitsonga, English, mathematics, physical science,

They provided me with the necessary support and study material to help me out during my studies,” she told Bulletin. • The collection of the information pertaining to the matric results was done by Bulletin’s Retha Nel, Beaunice Mnisi, Amelia de Ridder and Martina Jege. * Turn to page 3 for the full details of the matric results of ten high schools in our area.

jaaroue dogtertjie reggemaak om te gaan slaap. Die kind was bang vir die donker in die groot huis. Weens hul eensaamheid was die ma self huiwerig en bang. Die ma maak uiteindelik die lig dood. Buite waai die wind en dit is donker. Albei lê bang in die bed. Deur die oop venster sien die dogtertjie die vol maan skyn. “Is die maan God se lig?” vra die kind. “Ja,” antwoord die ma, “God se lig skyn altyd.” Die kind se volgende vraag: “Sal God ook netnou sy lig doodmaak en gaan slaap?” Die ma antwoord: “Nee, my kindjie, God slaap nooit nie.” Die dogtertjie antwoord met kinderlike vertroue: “Mamma, as God wakker is, is ek nie bang nie.” Sy sê dit met so `n oorgawe en vertroue dat die ma ook sommer dadelik gerus voel. God waak en Hy sal hulle bewaar. Dit is `n ou en bekende storie, maar die waarheid daarin is so kosbaar, dat ons dit weer kan oordink. As ons aan God behoort, is ons vir Hom kosbaar en Hy bewaar ons. Sy waaksaamheid verslap nooit nie. Gedurig kan ons in Hom vertrou en na Hom toe vlug as ons bedreig voel. Die bekende prediker Charles Spurgeon het per geleentheid gesê: “How often we allow fear – of darkness, of failure, of suffering, of death – to rob us of our sleep and of our joy in life? God’s light never goes out; He is ever awake to our needs.” “Waarlik, die Beskermer van Israel sluimer nie in nie en Hy slaap nie. Die Here beskerm jou” (Psalm 121:4,5).
SAVF Tzaneen se kleuterskool is ‘n wenner Die SAVF kleuterskool in Tzaneen, wat pas aangewys is as die beste kleuterskool van die groep in die land, spog met nog ‘n eerste waarvan die publiek nie kennis dra nie. Kragtens die nuwe gewysigde Kinderwet moet alle kleuteren bewaarskole in 2015 by die departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling geregistreer wees. Dié registrasie is onderwerp aan ‘n lang lys van reels en verpligtinge waaraan voldoen moet word. Tzaneen se kleuterskool was twee weke gelede die heel eerste in die streek wat sy registrasie ontvang het. Die hoof, me Annette Eastes, sê sy het vroeg reeds aansoek gedoen om geregistreer te word en is deur ‘n hele proses voor dit goedgekeur is. Die skool is deur beamptes besoek en die klaskamers is onder meer gemeet om te bepaal hoeveel kinders onder ses jaar in een klas mag wees. So mag kleuters onder agtien maande nie meer as twaalf in een klas wees nie, terwyl kleuters van drie tot vier jaar tot ‘n maksimum van twintig per klas beperk is. Kinders tussen vyf en ses jaar word beperk tot dertig per klas.
Die skool se grondwet en dagprogramme moes voorgelê word, terwyl elke personeellid ‘n beëdigde verklaring by die polisie moes gaan aflê dat geen kriminele of siviele klagtes ooit teen hulle of die skool ingedien is nie. Eastes sê volgens wet moet elke klas ‘n klasassistent hê, vir gevalle waar die juffrou aan diens se aandag elders benodig word. Sy weet van ‘n bewaarskool in Tzaneen waar tot sestig kinders deur een mens in ‘n motorhuis gehuisves word. “Hier is soveel fasette waarop die Kinderwet aandring. Ons kleuterskool is in 2002 laas deur ‘n gesondheidsinspekteur besoek. Ek moes deur politieke kanale werk om ‘n gesondheidsinspeksie van die skool te kry. Die bevinding was: “Uitstekend”. Die hoof oor dagsorgsentra by die SAVF in Pretoria, me Nelie Viljoen-Toet, sê hul organisasie het reeds twee jaar gelede vir die registrasies begin voorberei. Sy skat nagenoeg die helfte van die 33 kleuterskole in die SAVF het reeds ver gevorder met die voorbereiding vir registrasie. Volgens haar sal elke provinsie die proses op hul eie hanteer,
maar die koordinasie daarvan sal uiteindelik nasionaal geskied. “Alle dagsorgsentrums sal moontlik nie aan al die streng vereistes kan voldoen nie, maar die strewe van die wet om beter standaarde te kry, sal ‘n groot verbetering in dagsorg van kleuters daarstel.” LINKS ONDER: Die SAVF kleuterskool in Tzaneen is landwyd as die SAVF se Kleuterskool van die Jaar aangewys. Hier is die onderwyseresse en ander personeellede wat danksy harde werk en toewyding ‘n wenskool bedryf.

GTM councillors’ tongues are tied! No more talking to the media. This is the latest law of the Medes and Persians in the GTM — at a time when the ANC has pledged more transparent government and even passed laws like the Promotion of Information Act (commonly known as PAIA) to stimulate and promote openness in government. The GTM’s council passed a motion which would prevent councillors from leaking information about issues discussed during council meetings to the media. The move was initiated in a meeting of the Executive Committee (Exco) and taken to the
council for a final rubber stamp adoption. Councillors who transgress and get caught out will have to face disciplinary procedures. After a closed door meeting, the motion was passed by the council. It was quite remarkable to experience the tight-lipped councillors after the adjournment of the meeting, reports Bulletin’s Michael Sakuneka. One councillor, who obviously wanted to remain anonymous, later said that a lot is happening in the GTM and not all councillors are happy with what’s happening. He said members of the EXCO at
Four Mayors facing the axe Rumors were rife this week that the ANC in Mopani is about to redeploy (the ANC’s euphemism for fire) four of its mayors, because their relationship with the current party leadership is not “healthy”. The four mayors are Mr Pule Mafologele of the Maruleng Municipality, Ms Annah Sono of BaPhalaborwa, Ms Dikeledi Mmetle of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality and Mr Joshua Matlou of the Mopani District Municipality (MDM). According to sources within the ANC, the process of recalling the four mayors is long overdue and was put on hold while the party was still preparing for last month’s general elections. Two of the mayors who will allegedly survive the chop are Messrs Pat Hlungwani of Greater Giyani and Godfrey City Modjadji of Greater Letaba — with Modjadji tipped to replace Matlou as Mayor of the MDM. Modjadji is the most experienced administrator and he is also a member of the ANC’s Mopani Regional Executive Committee. It is said that the party was still waiting for the

In some circles it is said that the party should stop re-calling the mayor’s and leave them until 2016’s municipal elections, for the sake of unity. Approached for comment, the ANC’s provincial spokesperson, Ms Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, denied the rumors and said she had not heard of a reshuffle. “We have not heard anything along these lines from Mopani’s regional leadership or the PEC,” she said.

Maphoto’s contract is due to expire at the end of this month and the extension will be with effect from 1 July. “It is imperative that Gteda cannot be left without leadership and that is why we have decided to extend their contracts until such time we would have advertised and appointed a new CEO and the Board,” Machethe said.

Another golden handshake... The Greater Tzaneen Municipality has paid a settlement amount of close to R3 million to Mr Hannes Muller, who was dismissed from work about seven years ago. His dismissal came after a disciplinary hearing resulted in a
recommendation that he should be fired. The labour court overturned the decision and ordered the GTM to reinstate Muller as well as pay him all moneys that he would have earned during his suspension. According to GTM spokesman Neville Ndlala the GTM complied with the court order and they appointed Munro Consulting Actuaries to calculate the amount payable to Muller. “They found that the GTM owed Muller R2 779 014 of which R1 336 544 was paid to him on 6 December 2013 — leaving an outstanding amount of R1 442 470. The total amount owed to Muller on 11 April 2014 stood at R1 555 700. The GTM then paid an amount of R1 546 214, leaving a shortfall of R9 486 which was paid after legal and financial advice had been obtained,” Ndlala said. Because of short paying him, Muller was granted a Warrant of Execution by the court against the GTM on 19 May this year, which nearly resulted in some of the GTM’s assets being attached. — Michael Sakuneka, michael@bulletin.us.com

New life for Bonanza Liquors Bonanza Liquors has been a favourite shopping experience for the community of Tzaneen for many years. The liquor store had been around for more that ten years, before it was taken over by Mark Stevens in February 2001. Bonanza Liquors has always been at Tzaneen Crossing, formerly known as Sanlam Centre. When the mall changed to Tzaneen Crossing, the taxi rank was moved to the back parking area, and parking became very limited for customers who wanted to shop at the various stores. However, Bonanza Liquors managed to keep strong, luckily having an entrance on the Skirving Street side, and another entrance to the taxi rank. And their services has been so good that most of their customers still kept coming. Last year, their rental contract came to an end, and the landlord proposed that they would renew their contract — but the shop had to move to the end of the mall into new premises that was going to be built where the car-
wash used to be, next to the BP filling station. After looking around for a new shop, Mark felt he had no other choice but to stay at Tzaneen Crossing and move to the newly built shop. There was nothing else suitable and available. So the building and alterations began; and Bonanza started to feel the pinch on the business, caused by the inconvenience of the renovations. The new shop was ready for occupation by the end of August 2013. So the big move began, and of course this too was a financial strain — because of the cost of moving all the stock and equipment and to do the new shop fitting, as well as to install the walk-in fridge and cold room. Eventually, Bonanza was all settled in, and then sales started to drop even more! The reason for this was that now customers were struggling to get to the new store, as the new parking area was not complete. Taxi’s started taking over the unfinished parking area and kept blocking everyone off. Bonanza even found it difficult to continue with business as normal, like doing their usual deliveries to their customers everyday, because they could not get in and out of the parking area. Even their new delivery yard was inaccessible, because vehicles kept parking in front of the gate, and a huge pile of rubble stood in the way for months. During December last year, it was so grid locked with vehicles, that even their suppliers struggled to deliver stock to the store, which had a huge effect on sales. They have
had to let some staff go and cut down on other running costs, to try and keep head above water. Then in this year, the landlord started with tarring and fixing up the parking area. The tractors came and dug very large holes right in front of the entrance of Bonanza. To add insult to injury, so to speak, the rain started to come down and it rained for weeks, and the holes filled up with water. After many weeks the contractors continued with the parking area, when the rain had stopped. The parking area has finally been tarred, and for the time being the security of Tzaneen Crossing will be controlling the parking area so that customers will have better access. It has been a difficult journey for Bonanza, and they appeal to all their customers new and old, to come and support local. Their shop offers all customers good prices, free ice on big orders and good service. They also do helium for balloons, which is great for party décor, in a range of different colours. They are also offering all bars, restaurants and guest houses list price for self collection on a cash basis. Talk to Mark on 015 307 5426 or 073 000 5558 or send an e-mail to bonanza@tzaneen. co.za. “Please also ‘like’ our Facebook page. Just search for Overland Bonanza Liquors. I would like to thank all the people who have stood by me over these past months, giving me support and encouragement to keep positive and to keep strong,” Mark said.

Some retailers, e.g. Pick n Pay, have safe drop-off points where these lamps can be disposed of safely. The new generation energy saver in lighting technology is undoubtedly the LED light bulb, which is slowly but surely being offered in all sizes and shapes. These light bulbs are even more efficient than CFLs, with an average lifetime of about 130 times longer than CFLs. Unfortunately, they are still currently a bit expensive but as technology develops they will become cheaper. It is however an option to consider this technology from early stages when building new homes. Of course, the switching off of lights in unoccupied rooms is still the most obvious way to save electricity.
Investment options 1) Install a solar geyser Solar water heaters can save up to 50% of your energy bill with a payback period of no more than 5 years. Eskom-approved installers and suppliers of material will ensure that you qualify for the Eskom subsidy to help reduce the cost. Please refer to the Eskom website for more details. 2) Install a heat pump Heat pumps can achieve similar savings, but it requires an electrical supply for its compressor. This appliance heats water for 24 hours per day, unlike the solar panels which only heats water during the day. One of the positive features of heat pumps is the fact that a family would generally not have to adapt their showering or bathing routine to accommodate hot water availability. No solar panels are visible on roofs as the unit will typically be wall mounted, similar to an air conditioner. Eskom subsidies are also available for heat-pump technology. 3) Ceiling insulation Research has shown that insulation in the ceiling can keep homes 5 degrees C warmer during the winter and 10 degrees C cooler during the summer. Insulation will therefore result in less energy required for indoor heating or cooling. Bulletin©9559gtm140613tb

Archie’s 60-year-old tree re-imagined One of the oldest known baobab bonsai trees in the country was the centre of attention during the Tzaneen Garden Clubs’ recent visit to Hennie Smit’s bonsai garden. Smit presented an informative talk on the art of bonsai and also treated the sixteen inquisitive green-finger ladies to a demonstration in styling and shaping a bonsai tree. The tree used for this purpose was the baobab which was dug out by the late Mr Archie van A 60-year-old baobab (left below) dug up by the late Mr Archie van Reenen was transformed by bonsai enthusiast Hennie Smit into a beautiful specimen styled in the formal baobab bonsai style (left above), during a recent demonstration at Hennie’s home for the ladies of the Tzaneen Garden Club. Ms Lilian van Reenen (wife) brought the tree to the demo and was thrilled and deeply moved by the tree’s transformation, in honour of her late husband.
Reenen six decades ago. Van Reenen at one time had a collection of over 4 000 eggs from 438 SA bird species. His wonderful tales about his passion for our feathered friends were published in his book ‘For the love of birds’. Archie’s wife Lilian, now in her eighties, brought her late husband’s tree which was transformed into a perfect bush specimen mirroring its elephantine cousins, by a masterful Smit who is widely known and respected in Bonsai circles for his skill with baobabs. Twelve years ago Smit helped the late Van Reenen to repot the tree. Bonsai as a hobby was only just gaining popularity in the area and one of the largest pots available at the time was used. The tree was again repotted as part of the demonstration and this time, in a pot perfectly suited to it. At times the demonstration

Keeping your cat happy indoors While confining your cat to the indoors is often seen as cruelty and restricting the animal’s nature to hunt, stalk, scratch, and mark their territory; allowing your cat to roam the outdoors is synonymous with many risks and dangers. Outside, your cat can get hit by a car, fight and pick up parasites and diseases during contact with other animals, and many more. Studies show that when given proper care, cats kept indoors often outlive their counterparts allowed to roam the street by more than 10 years. At the same time, wheth• Plant a few pots of cat grass and catnip er your cat has always been indoors or was in a sunny window. Or create a jungle of catonce an outdoor kitty, try giving it as many of pleasing plants in big and small pots. Make the joys of the outside world as you can. sure the plants you offer are cat-safe.

Caring for senior dogs It might seem like only yesterday when you brought home your adorable, playful puppy, but time flies! It is often said that a dog ages seven years for every human year. However, this is somewhat inaccurate. The rate at which a dog ages depends on its lifestyle, environment, and size. Large dogs generally age faster than smaller ones. Large and giant breed dogs (over 23 kg) are considered “senior” by the time they are six to seven years old. Medium breeds (09-23 kg) reach their golden years at around age nine. Small dogs and toy breeds become seniors as late as their early teens. • Good nutrition is the foundation of a healthy plan for your dog’s golden years. Feed your dog a high quality, reduced calorie diet made especially for seniors. Senior diets have better digestibility, and contain extra fiber and vitamins to accommodate slower digestive function. They also contain antioxidants for improved immune function, and omega-3 fatty acids for joint health and a better hair coat. Nutritional supplements can also be beneficial. Be sure to consult your veterinarian for specific advice about the best nutrition for your older dog. Consider also an elevated feeder to make mealtime easier. Don’t forget to provide plenty of fresh water daily too. • Decreased activity levels and mobility challenges often lead to weight gain. This in
and cardboard scratch pads give cats the chance to expend energy, remove worn claw bits, and play. Make these spots even more enticing with a sprinkle of catnip. • Offer lots of toys. To keep the cat’s interest, rotate through the stash, removing some toys and re-introducing others every week or two. Cats don’t need fancy play things. Paper bags, boxes, or a few balls of wadded paper are great entertainment. • Hide a few dry treats throughout the house. Cats will hunt for these hidden treasures for hours. You can also buy treat-dispensing toys. • Some cats love “cat videos” full of bird and small mammal closeups. Pop in one of these DVDs specially made for cats and see if yours starts tracking the motions of the other animals and talking at and swatting the screen. You can also try computer screen savers of flapping butterflies, scur-
turn aggravates any mobility challenges, and the vicious cycle ensues. Do not neglect your regular dog walks. Moderate daily exercise aids with weight control, prevents injury, and keeps him limber. Hide-and-seek games with toys or treats help keep him mentally sharp. • Grooming your dog helps improve the hair coat and promotes circulation. • Provide a warm, well-padded orthopaedic bed on each level of your home so your dog can rest her bones and joints comfortably without having to climb a flight of stairs. If your dog is used to sleeping on your bed, provide a ramp or doggy stairs to prevent the need for jumping. Cover slippery wood or tile floors with non-slip mats. • Try to limit environmental stressors like extreme heat or cold, unfamiliar surroundings, curious children, or a rambunctious new pet. • And finally, preventive veterinary care is critical, even if your dog looks and seems perfectly healthy. Senior dogs should see the vet for a routine health screen at least twice every year. Remember: Your dog’s senior years are precious. One-on-one bonding and special attention to details will deepen your friendship and help it thrive. With luck and conscientious care, your old dog can live for many happy years . . . and even learn some new tricks! http://www.doghealth.com/senior/ caring-for-your-senior-dog
rying mice, burbling fish, or bouncing balls. • Try feeding your cat several small meals a day instead of two big ones. • Also (if possible) the companionship of another animal may be beneficial (another cat is ideal, though a new kitten can upset older cats). • Build a strong bond with your cat. A positive relationship with its owner is crucial to a cat’s emotional well being. Discipline with a squirt bottle can alienate your cat and make it nervous around people. With cats the best form of discipline is prevention and every care should be taken to avoid “bad habits”. If you move house or your cat becomes stressed it is a good idea to give him/her their own space, a quiet room that is not often used, with access to a litter tray is ideal. • Keep your cat’s litter box clean. Cats are very clean animals. Change litter regularly. They appreciate clean toilet facilities as much as we do. Some cats prefer different types of litter in. If your cat is used to one specific type of litter, it is a good idea to stick to it. This will also prevent soiling in the home.

Do’s: 1. Do set up their aquarium before you buy any goldfish Don’t buy goldfish and their home in the pet store on the same day. Set up the tank – with gravel, decorations and a filter – in good spot, preferably one that is quiet, away from a window or radiator and near a power supply. Fill it with water and switch on any pumps you’re using. It takes time for chlorine and other chemicals in tap water that can harm your fish to be expelled. 2. Do consider maturing your tank in advance A new aquarium takes time to ‘mature’. Tank filters and gravel are capable of breaking down waste before it pollutes the water. You can buy products to start this process off from the fish store. Such ‘cycling’ usually takes about two weeks and prevents your new fish being ex-
posed to pollution. 3. Do regularly change the water The very best thing you can do to keep your goldfish healthy is to regularly change some of the water. Using a siphon tube, remove about a fifth of the water once a week and replace it with new water, preferably water that you’ve left stand overnight. Changing water like this dilutes down the pollution, and adds fresh minerals to the tank.
Don’ts: 1. Don’t keep goldfish in a bowl Yes, some people keep their pets alive for years in a bowl, but many more lead short, unhappy lives. Goldfish are inquisitive fish that like to swim about and explore. Give them a tank at least two-foot long. Also, goldfish bowls pollute easily
and the design hinders the transfer of fresh oxygen into the water. 2. Don’t overfeed your goldfish Your fish should eat all the food you add within five to ten minutes. If there is food lying about on the floor of the aquarium, you’re overfeeding. This excess food will rot down and pollute the tank. 3. Don’t overstock your tank An aquarium can only hold so many fish before it starts to get polluted too quickly, or before the oxygen level in the water drops. A three-foot long aquarium will hold about four fully-grown goldfish happily - you can add a couple more if you must, especially if you’ve got an air pump, but it’s not advised.

Standard bred poultry in SA Poultry shows are the ideal place for the newcomer to the fancy to learn about poultry and the showing of them. They are usually friendly affairs with plenty of time for chatting and discussing fowl! It is at these shows that judges are usually prepared to discuss problems and give advice and information, after the judging has been done. The exhibition of Standard Bred Poultry is the most rewarding part of the fancy. It is also relatively cheap compared to some other fancies, sports or hobbies. Showing poultry used
to be dominated by men, but it now involves many women and juniors too. Many of the ladies are top exhibitors in their own right. Show poultry is without doubt a wonderful hobby: one in which the whole family can be involved, one that you can spend a lifetime doing and one in which you will make wonderful friendships, for a lifetime. The aim poultry shows are to preserve the breeds of poultry in their original form. Originally, then, standards were set out to describe the breeds - to the next generations.

Bittereinders pak mekaar
Verlede week was ‘n baie besige week vir Merensky-netbal. Dinsdag het die eerste spanne van Merensky en Frans du Toit mekaar op Merensky se bane gepak. Dit was ‘n titaniese stryd van die eerste afgooi en het so aangehou totdat die eindfluitjie geblaas het. Die telling van 27-25 in Merensky se guns dui aan dat elke speler van albei skole tot die bitter einde gespeel het. Merensky se wen beteken dat die Plasies die naaswenners in die Mopanie-liga is.
Donderdag het Merensky en King’s Court mekaar op die bane van King’s Court aangedurf. Dit was buitengewoon warm vir dié tyd van die jaar en die spelers het behoorlik gesweet. Die tellings was (Merensky eerste): o.14A: 28-3; o.15A: 40-5; o.17A: 16-6; o.18A: 30-8. Die o.17A- en -18A-spanne van Merensky neem aan die Limpopokampioenskappe by Hoërskool Ben Vorster deel.

Plasies se gholfers troef die Vossies
Hier is die Plasies se eerste netbalspan saam met hul afrigter. Ongelukkig is geen name aangebied nie.
Plasies draf stadsjapies kaf Die Merensky se seunshokkiespelers is vanjaar aan die brand! Drie van die vier spanne het aan die bopunt van die punteleer geëindig. Die o.14 seuns het verlede week teen ‘n sterk PHS-span te staan gekom. Die span het puik verdedig, totdat ‘n strafhou teen hulle toegeken is. Die span het kort daarna nog ‘n doel laat inglip en toe vasgebyt tot halftyd. Na halftyd het hulle puik verdedig en die spangees was goed. Donovan van Tonder het meer as twintig doele gedurende die wedstryd gekeer en is as Speler van die wedstryd aangewys.
Bulletin
Die Plasies verloor egter 7-0. Merensky se onoorwonne o.15 seuns het hul oorwinningstog voortgesit, toe hulle PHS met ‘n goeie telling van 6-0 getroef het. Matthew Oosthuyze en Estian Botha het elk twee doele aangeteken en Wayne Coppen en Samuel Modiba het elkeen een doel geslaan. Matthew Oosthuyse is as Speler van die wedstryd aangewys. Die Plasies se tweede seunshokkiespan bewys hulself vir die derde jaar agtereenvolgend as die topspan, deur die seisoen onoorwonne af te sluit. Hulle het hul
laaste ligawedstryd teen PHS met 2-0 gewen. Die witwarm Dylan Oosthuyse het weer ‘n doel aangeteken en kaptein PG Swanepoel het PHS se doppie met ‘n mooi doel geklink. Merensky se eerste span het bewys dat hulle ‘n span is om mee rekening te hou, toe hulle PHS se onoorwonne tweede span met 2-0 geklop het. In die eerste helfte het die twee spanne mekaar tot stilstand vasgehou, en die halftydtelling was 0-0. In die tweede helfte het Jason Moore uiteindelik deurgebreek en die eerste doel aangeteken. Met PHS skielik op die agtervoet, het Mahlatse Mahlaka ‘n wonderhou gespeel, om die telling te verdubbel. Merensky het uiteindelik met ‘n telling van 2-0 gewen en gaan beslis na die eindronde as gunstelinge.
Zanis skitter by Limpopo Ritmiese kompetisie Zanis Tzaneen se ritmiese gimnaste het by Limpopo se Ritmiese Limpopo-span opgeneem. Zanis Tzaneen het ook vyftien medaljes Kompetisie weer geskitter. Die kompetisie is deur Zanis Gymnastics ingepalm, ses silwer en nege brons. Academy in Polokwane aangebied. Die Limpopo-span sal op 27 en 28 Junie aan die SA Kampioenskappe Tien van Tzaneen se gimnaste het deelgeneem en al tien is in die deelneem.
Die gholfspelers van Merensky het Vrydag weer hul staal teen Ben Vorster én PHS gewys. Die baan van PHS was in ‘n baie mooi toestand en die spelers het die dag baie geniet. Merensky het ongelukkig vasgeval teen PHS, maar het baie goed teen Ben Vorster gepresteer. Merensky het Ben Vorster se eerste span met 3-0 geklop en die tweede spanne het gelykop gespeel. Die spelers sien baie uit na die laaste week van gholf en veral na die interhoër wat op 1 Augustus 2014 deur Merensky aangebied word.
Vossies 10 - PHS 6 Die Vossies se netbalspelers het Saterdag in die derby teen PHS in Polokwane weer tande gewys en ses uit die tien netbalwedstryde gewen. Die Vossies se kookwater eerste span het PHS behoorlik die loef afgesteek en met 44-9 gewen!
Die o.14As van BV het met 26- 20 gewen; o.14B: BV 21-PHS 11; o.15A: BV 22–PHS 33; o.15B: BV 11-PHS 10; o.16A: BV 22-PHS 25; o.16B: BV 11PHS 26; o.17A: BV 31-PHS 9; o.17B: BV 10-PHS 18; o.19B: BV 19-PHS 7; Eerste span: BV 44-PHS 9.
Die eerste span het sedert hulle die eerste keer aan die FNB Classic Clashes deelgeneem het, nog nie die wenbeker afgestaan nie. Die Vossies het weer Saterdag sommer al in die eerste helfte gewys dat hulle nie maklik hul onoorwonne status gaan prysgee nie en teen rustyd met 13-2 voorgeloop. Die hele wedstryd was ‘n vertoning van pragtige spel en blitsige en vaardige spelers. Die hele span verdien ‘n pluimpie vir ‘n uitmuntende wedstryd. Nou wag die provinsiale kampioenskappe more. Al die Vossie-netbalspanne het deurgedring en die Vossies speel ook gasheer vir die toernooi.

Letaba nou soos groen mamba Letaba I (33) — Noordelikes I (26) Mambas — groen en swart — is mos maar ook skugter slange wat eers gepla moet word, alvorens hulle sal aanval. Letaba se rugby is nogal soms ook so, maar Saterdag was dit veral so. Die manne in groen moes eers gepla word, alvorens hulle tot die aanval oorgegaan het — en toe was hulle giftig. Dodelik giftig. Miskien was dit die koue wat ons manne eers terughoudend gemaak het, toe hulle Noordelikes die stryd aangesê het. Ons bure anderkant die berg ken mos laer temperature as ons en hulle het dalk gouer die koue uit hul gebeendere gekry. Vandaar dat albei Noordelikes se spanne eerste punte aangeteken het. Maar toe die groen masjien eers begin loop het, was hy onstuitbaar. Letaba 1 het met 3326 gewen en Letaba 2 met 15-7. In die eerste span se wedstryd, het Noordelikes die eerste helfte totaal en al oorheers en het ‘n bekommerde afrigtingspan in lemoensuigtyd hard met die manne gepraat. Toe die fluitjie vir die tweede helfte geblaas het, was dit asof die groen span soos ‘n John Deere net een pad vorentoe geken het. Met Letaba se kenmerkende veggees het hulle begin terugveg en het die voorspelers stadig maar seker beheer van die wedstryd oorgeneem. Met kort kragtige dryfspel — met Picaso
Coetzer, JP Schwartz, Scheepers Lubbe en Quintin Kruger aan die voorpunt — het hulle Noordelikes op die agtervoet gehad. Twee briljante drieë deur vleuel Gideon Modiba en senter Alec Mhlanga het Noordelikes laat besef dat jy nie net opdaag by Letaba om te wen nie. Noordelikes is egter nie verniet vir die afgelope paar jaar die voorste span in Limpopo nie. Hulle het swak verdediging deur Letaba uitgebuit en onder die pale gaan druk. In daardie stadium was Noordelikes met 12 punte voor en het dit nie gelyk of Letaba die agterstand sal uitwis nie. Letaba het egter vasgebyt en nooit gaan lê nie en met nog twee drieë deur onderskeidelik kaptein Sven Hedin en Scheepers Lubbe, het Letaba die voortou geneem. Die groen mamba se gif het begin werk, maar Noordelikes het vasgebyt en as teengif met die een aanval na die ander gekom. In tien uiters senutergende minute het Noordelikes meedoënloos met die een na die ander desperate aanval op Letaba se doellyn gekom — maar met die Speler van die Wedstryd, Quintin Kruger, aan die voorpunt en met die ondersteuning van sy spanmaats, is Noordelikes telkemale teruggeduik. Die skeidsregter het Letaba se ondersteuners se harte byna laat staan, toe Noordelikes aanslaan vanaf ‘n vinnige strafskop-tikskoppie op Letaba se doellyn en hy die skop oor
gegee het. Letaba het vasgebyt, karakter getoon en as wenners van die taai wedstryd afgestap. Dit was beslis ‘n spanpoging duisend en met die uitstekende ondersteuning van die toeskouers, het Letaba hul hardste wedstryd sover dié seisoen gewen. Drieë vir Letaba 1 is gedruk deur: Gideon Modiba, Alec Mhlanga, Sven Hedin en Scheepers Lubbe en Damien Janse van Rensburg het al vier doelskoppe netjies deur die pale gejaag en ook met ‘n strafskop geslaag. Netjies, man! Letaba 2 (15) — Noordelikes 2 (7) Letaba 2 het in ‘n uiters harde wedstryd hul teenstanders met 15-7 geklop. Net soos die eerste span, was Noordelikes eerste op die telbord. Letaba 2 het gewys dat hulle nie terugstaan vir hul groter teenstanders nie en het met kragtige skrumwerk en harde dryfwerk deur Stoffel Vermaak, Heinrich Badenhorst, Marnus Labuschagne en Bennie Kruger het Letaba 2 stadig maar seker die oorhand begin kry. Skrumskakel Joe De Beer het met slim spel Letaba op die voorvoet gehou. Hy moet nou net fiks word, dan gaan
hy die wêreld aan die brand speel. Righart Wernich het weer uitgeblink en is hy ook welverdiend as Speler van die Wedstryd aangewys. Agterlangs het Cornel Jacobs en Riaan Louw die oog gevang en het die plaasvervanger JP O’Connel self ‘n uithalervertoning gelewer. Letaba 2 se drieë is gedruk deur Heinrich Badenhorst en Hope Hlaize en Joe de Beer het met ‘n straf- en ‘n doelskop geslaag. Letaba Rugbyklub se bestuur het laat weet dat hulle besonder dankbaar is vir die ondersteuning van rugbygangers Saterdae. Dit kan nog beter (sê ons, nie hulle nie) en met die goeie rugby wat Letaba vanjaar speel, is dit lkker om na die manne te gaan kyk en hulle te ondersteun. • Letaba se president, mnr Tinus Nel, word geluk gewens met sy sewentigste verjaarsdag. Letaba geniet die langnaweek ‘n welverdiende ruskans, waarna hulle weg teen Musina gaan speel.
Survivors is SA se naasbestes! Die Tzaneen-omgewing se nuwe ringbalklub, die Survivors met hul “hoofkantoor” en baan in Haenertsburg, is amptelik Suid-Afrika se naasbeste klubspan — slegs enkele maande nadat die klub die lig gesien het en dit hul eerste deelname aan die SA kampioenskappe was. Wat die prestasie nog meer merkwaardig maak, is dat die Survivors met ‘n skamele vier punte teen die SA kampioenspan verloor het! Dinge het sommer in die eerste groepwedstryde
Nie sedert Oubal op ‘n dag Halley se komeet met sy eerste verskyning gesien het, kan hy onthou dat ons land al twee nasionale sportkapteins op een dag aangekondig het nie. Soos een van Oubal se aanhangers laat weet het, was hy 1 000% in die kol met Matfield as instaan Bokkaptein, maar ou GertGrensvegter sê selfs ‘n helikopterpiloot kon daai een sien kom het, want Bismarck was geheel en al te stamperig en stoterig in die Haaie se grappige verloor teen die Stormertjies die vorige week. En buitendien, sê hy, jou span doen baie beter as sy kaptein nie twee geelkaarte in dieselfde wedstryd kry nie! ‘Tja, gelukkig het Oubal nie in die openbaar ‘n mening uitgespreek oor wie die Proteas in Biffie se plek gaan aanvoer nie, maar in sy privaatheid was hy oortuig die
warm geraak, toe die Survivors met een van die gunstelinge, Lynx van Pretoria, afgereken en vir die skok van die dag gesorg het. Ander spanne het in ongeloof gekyk hoe die nuwelinge met hul sterk opponente afgereken het. Intussen het die klub in die provinsiale bepalings (Limpopo) ook hul stempel baie stewig afgedruk. Die bepalings het soos volg verloop: Dames: Survivors , Jakaranda, Parke, Tzaneen, Mogol, Phalaborwa. Mans: Mogoll,
Kapteins, seil die spanne! eer sou AB toeval. Nie dat Oubal beswaard is oor baardman Amla se aanstelling nie, hy is mos ammal se pêl en dis dalk net tyd dat ons krieket gelei word deur iemand wat die woord nederigheid verstaan. Soos Oubal se ondersteuners weet, leen hy nie sommer sy ore uit aan skinderstories nie, maar hy verneem Amla se aanstelling was ‘n soort van kompromisbesluit, omdat die wedywering tussen AB en Faf glo te groot is. Oubal het nog altyd gedink hulle is twee goeie skoolvriende en vind dit moeilik
Parke, Survivors, Jakaranda, Phalaborwa, Tzaneen. As besef word dat die Suvivors teen al die ander klubs deelgeneem het , wat reeds tien jaar en langer bestaan, is hul prestasie niks minder nie as fenomenaal. Vier van die dames-Survivors, Carlien du Plessis (ook kaptein van Limpopo A), Sanet Bergmann, Lynette Breedt en Natashja Walters), is vir Limpopo se A-span gekies (slegs nege in ‘n span), een is vir Limpopo se o.19-span gekies en een is vir die provinsie se B-span gekies.
om die gerug te glo, so moet asb nie Oubal in die openbaar aanhaal nie! Maar internasionale krieket is nie ‘n Sondagskoolpiekniek nie en Oubal is bitter jammer dat hulle destyds die Aussiekommintator wat Amla ‘n terroris genoem het, geskors het. In gevegte van daai aard dwing ‘n kaptein met ‘n naam soos Hitler of Attila net meer gesag af as, sê maar, Percy, en as die bynaam “Terroris” toe inslag gevind het, was ons dalk nou nog beter daaraan toe! ‘Tja, daar is min dinge so lekker as om die Kiwi’s in hul eie agterplaas op hul neuse te laat kyk, en so het Oubal en sy vrinne verlede Vrydagoggend hul vervroegde naweekspanpraatjie terdeë geniet. Pollie vannie Pêrel en sy Junior Bokkiesmanskappe het met ‘n besonder kordate vertoning die Baba AB’s so te sê uit die
Die trotse Survivors-vrouespan: Voor is Lorinda Kruger, Natashja Walters en La Rouchelle Schoeman, en agter staan Natasha Smit, Elaine van Zyl, Sanet Bergmann, Carlien du Plessis, Sarie Vermaak (afrigter), Mariesa None, Mari de Beer en Lynette Breedt.
toernooi gespeel, wat ons goedkeuring 1 000% wegdra! Van Pollie gepraat, soos die man Vrydag gespeel het, is Oubal genoop om sy katin-die-sak uitlating van ‘n vorige rubriek terug te trek. Oubal wil so half en half dink Heyneke moet die knapie maar so gou as moontlik nader trek vir die Bokke. Aan die ander kant, soos KoosKakie opgemerk het, selfs hy en Oubal sou blink vertoon het agter daai monsterpak van die Klein Bokkies! Daar wag eilande, vol manne rooi, blou en swart Kaptein! Kaptein! Kapteins, seil die spanne! Kapteins, julle’s manne! “No captain can do very wrong by placing his ship alongside that of the enemy.” — Horatio Nelson
