Hotel “Nkandla”
Rain Queen’s R13 million abandoned hotel
The multi-million rand hotel built in honour of late Rain Queen Mokope Modjadji V — her own Nkandla, so to speak — is in a state of collapse before it could even start to be operated as a tourist attraction for the area. The Queen Modjadji V Hotel, as it is known, is situated at Lebyeng Mountain, about one kilometer from the Modjadji Royal Palace at Khetlhakoni outside Modjadjiskloof. It is also Chalets: Some of the chalets can be seen, only only a stone’s throw from the protected and just, among the trees and bushes that are not internationally acclaimed Modjadji Nature pruned and thus spoil the magnificent view to Reserve where the only Modjadji Cycad trees and from the hotel. in the world are to be viewed. The hotel was built at a cost of R13 million at the turn of the millennium. Part of the amount was donated by the late President Nelson Mandela after his courtesy visit to the late queen in 1998. Construction was finally completed about ten years ago, but the hotel still has to be officially opened. Sadly, however, it will need quite a bit of money to restore the neglected facilities that have

become dilapidated. The facility includes twenty chalets, a mini conference centre, parking bays, a swimming pool, a braai area etcetera. Sadly all these facilities have almost disappeared behind long grass, shrubs and trees. Security guards and locals say big snakes (possibly pythons and mambas) and a large troop of monkeys roam the place. The thatched roofs, especially the conference centre’s is getting worn out and dilapidated. A security guard who chose not to identify himself for fear of retribution, said “our lives are being threatened by big snakes which frequently move around long grass within the premises”. “The area is not safe, because it is very dark during the night. Eskom have switched off the electricity because of an unpaid electricity bill amounting to many thousands of rand”, he told us. He added that there is no water as the borehole on the premises does not function
APOLOGIE Die onlangse diefstal van Telkomkabels in Agathastraat en kort daarna in Peacestraat het ook die Bulletin se Telkomdiens vir langer as ‘n week ontwrig. Dit het probleme veroorsaak by ons slaafrekenaar en/of Internet-diensverskaffer, waardeur e-posse nie by ons afgelewer is nie. Ons weet nie hoeveel en van wie en presies waar die fout ingesluip het nie, maar ons kry toenemend navrae oor nuus, foto’s en veral ook kennisgewings vir ons “Events”-kolom wat na ons versend is maar ons nie bereik het nie. Alhoewel die probleem nie weens ons toedoen was nie en ook nie deur ons beheer kon word nie, vra ons nogtans om verskoning en kan inligting gerus steeds aan ons gestuur word (as dit nog toepaslik is). Vandag se ekstra dun koerant is ook weens ons werksaamhede die afgelope tyd om ons totale kommunikasieopset weer behoorlik op dreef te kry, op die vooraand van opwindende nuus oor ons nuwe interaktiewe webwerf wat eersdaags in gebruik sal kom (ons is reeds besig met toetslopies en dit gaan goed hiermee). Dankie vir u, ons getroue lesers en adverteerders, se geduld oor die afgelope weke. — Redakteur
(there is no electricity to drive the pump). Drinking water and water to wash with has to be fetched from nearby Kheopeng village. Modjadji Royal Spokesperson Phetole Mampeule said they have approached the new Minister of Tourism on matters concerning the hotel and they are waiting for a response. “There were still some minor issues which needed to be attended to. These matters, mainly about the premises, worried the chiefs under Modjadji’s jurisdiction,” Mampeule said. Approached for comment, the spokesperson for Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA), Mr Ntlhekeng Kgatla, said the facility is not under control of the Agency and it would be very hard for them to comment on anything. In the meantime the dilapidation causes any future expenditure to turn the hotel into a decent tourist facility, to grow by the month. — Report & photos: Michael Sakuneka michael@bulletin.us.com

Informele handelaars (smouse) neem hand oor hand toe in Tzaneen en kruip al verder deur die dorp om sonder toestemming hul sake voort te sit. Die GTM doen niks om die orde te herstel nie. Twee vrae duik nou op: (1) Is die proses van eiereg nog omkeerbaar, en (2) behoort die GTM nie met die formele en informele sektore hieroor te praat (‘n beraad te hou) en orde te herstel nie?

Informal traders are multiplying at a dizzying rate in Tzaneen and are spreading throughout the town, trading without permission. The GTM is turning a blind eye and does nothing to restore order. Two questions arise: (1) Is this attitude of lawlessness reverseable and (2) should the GTM not consult with formal and informal sectors to devise a plan to restore order?

en krap waar dit jeuk...
Vlieg stuur groetnis uit Brasilië! Vlieg sal die eerste wees om te erken dat hy, voor sy besoek, gedink het hy kom na Soweto-by-the-sea. Wat ‘n ontnugtering. Hier is miskien ‘n paar Portugese plakkerskampe wat Diepsloot na Sandton laat lyk, maar Vlieg oorweeg tans emigrasie baie ernstig. Hy moet net eers sy Portugees opskerp. Vlieg was darem betyds in die R10-stad om te sien hoe die Nazi’s die La Coq’s verslaan, tot sy teleurstelling natuurlik. En die volgende dag in Salvador gesien hoe ‘n KaasKrul ingespan word om Costa Rica huis toe te stuur. Hierdie nuuspapiertjie sak so ‘n bietjie vroeër as wat Daisy se uier destyds op Vlieg se oupa se plaas gesak het, dus sal Vlieg maar volgende week verder berig oor sy belewenisse by die res van die futebol. Hoewel hierdie nuuspapiertjie homself verontskuldig teenoor Vlieg se doen en late (sien kennisgewing onderaan die paneel), neem Vlieg self volle verantwoordelikheid vir sy uitsprake, al mag dit dalk vandeesweek wees onder die invloed van caipirinha*. Vlieg het darem nog net een keer, waarvan hy weet, hierdie nuuspapiertjie in die moeilikheid gehad by die Persombudsman. Dit was destyds toe iemand beswaard was omdat Vlieg, met een van die Indiese Premierliga-kriekettoernooie, van die Indiërname en vanne na Afrikaans vertaal het. Soos dit hoort, en sonder verbasing, het die Ombudsman in Vlieg se guns bevind — daarom dat Vlieg nie skroom om vandeesweek ‘n paar van die sokkerspelers, hier in Brasilië in aksie, se name te vertaal nie. Natuurlik omdat sok-

Barnes to sue after arrest
she stayed and the people in the vicinity say that they don’t know the girl,” Krüger said. He added that Barnes agreed to DNA tests to be done, but since the girl has “disappeared” it is not possible to arrange for tissue to be tested. Barnes was arrested by police from Tzaneen, apparently before any investigation had been done or the girl’s age had been verified, and then kept in the SAPS’s holding cells in Haenertsburg for two nights. On the Monday after his arrest he was “paraded” down some of Polokwane’s busiest streets to the Magistrate’s Court whilst his hands were handcuffed and his legs chained. His passport was confiscated and on the Monday he was granted bail of R1 000. His case was remanded until 2 September. Barnes is a British citizen who came to South Africa forty years ago and many of his relatives still live in the UK. Krüger said they are anxious to get Barnes’ passport back, since “you never know when Gary might need his passport. My client will obviously also get the bail money back”, Krüger said. When asked about the amount of money they intend to claim, Krüger said “we are busy with calculations and it would be premature to speculate about that at this point in time”
Home Affairs have problems
Photo: Elliot Mathye Pensioners are seen in the long line waiting to get into the Mall and Home Affairs’ office
Young people and pensioners line up every day at Tzaneen’s Home Affairs office for ID cards, while the line moves pretty slowly. The issuing of ID cards at Home Affairs is becoming a problem since everyone wants to have the new ID card, whilst they don’t have enough portable card machines to produce the cards. This problem causes serious congestions in the Tzaneng Mall’s entrance. Home Affairs should prioritise old and disabled people who do not have ID’s or people who never had ID’s before. Tzaneen Home Affairs and Modjadjiskloof’s office are the only places in
our area that have ID card machines. That is the reason why Tzaneen Mall’s entrance is always crowded. People this week said in their numbers that enough machines should be supplied in each and every office so that disabled people and pensioners who need to apply for new ID documents wouldn’t be inconvenienced. Our efforts to communicate with the Tzaneen Home Affairs office manager for comment as well as the provincial spokesperson for Home Affairs, Mr Sam Moremi, failed. — Rethabile Maake rethabile@bulletin.us.com
Cell C responds It took a bit longer for Cell C to react to the Bulletin’s enquiries about the poor cellular telephone service that consumers in Tzaneen have to tolerate. Dropped calls, poor signal, numbers that suddenly don’t exist any longer, etcetera… these are things that challenge cell phone users’ patience on an almost daily basis. We asked Ms Karin Fourie, the Executive Head: Communications, Cell C, for their comments regarding the problems that people here have to endure. She replied as follows: “Cell C does have coverage in Tzaneen, albeit limited. Our network coverage in the rural areas has to be prioritised. There are a number of factors that affect this kind of rollout including access to transmission and population density. We continue to invest in our network and our planned CAPEX spend in 2014 is R2,3 billion. The company has 318 additional sites planned for 2014 across the country and we still have a roaming agreement with Vodacom to provide services to Cell C customers in outlying areas where we do not yet have coverage.” Bulletin wants to congratulate Cell C for their explanation. We obtained information from a very reliable source that the prioritisation of service in rural areas was the crux of the problem. However, MTN and Vodacom in their replies (last week and the week before) did not refer to this. Cell C is thus the only company to have indicated that service in towns and cities could be neglected at present. We have information that even in Pretoria, and it seems especially in Centurion, the service is very ppor at times. Cell phone users are encouraged to complain about the poor service. Dropped calls cost the caller money, after all!
Mr Gary Barnes (left) enjoy a lighter moment with well-known TV journalist and author Dennis Beckett. Beckett, one of many celebrities who have visited Barnes’ restaurant in past years, was complimentary about the food and atmosphere in the popular Pot ‘n Plow, a stone’s throw from the Magoebaskloof Hotel.
He added that loss of income could be added to the other components of the total claim, but that component needs a lot of homework to be done first. • Barnes said on Wednesday that he was overwhelmed by the goodwill and support he received from friends. “I would like to thank my family and friends for the way in which they stood by me. I owe my lawyer, Mr Conrad Krüger a very special and sincere thank you”, he said. — Francois Aucamp editor@bulletin.us.com

Bed A CLEAR WINNER
Well-known restaurateur Gary Barnes from the popular Pot ’n Plow restaurant (known best for their pizzas) in Magoebaskloof is to lodge a substantial claim against the Minister of Safety & Security. His claim will be for wrongful arrest, wrongful detention, an incorrect charge that was put to him, malicious prosecution and defamation of character. Barnes (62) on Wednesday personally confirmed this with us and his attorney, Mr Conrad Krüger, in whose offices we met, confirmed that he has been instructed by Barnes to institute legal action. The decision to claim from the Minister and/ or the SA Police Service comes after the investigating officer of the SAPS in Tzaneen apologised to Barnes’ attorney for “inconvenience caused” when she confirmed with him that the charges against him will be withdrawn. Barnes was to stand accused of rape of a minor, allegedly more than a year ago. The 18-year-old girl from the Haenertsburg area claimed that she fell pregnant and that Barnes was the father of the child that was born about a year ago (when she was older than 16). Barnes denied the allegations against him. “However, the police have failed to trace the girl. She is no longer at the address where

SAPS want to tackle crime in Tzaneen
Pensioner’s money stolen Alleged fraudulent activity involving the SA Social Security Agency’s Mopani district office in Tzaneen has a 68-yearold pensioner, Mr Johnny Thompson, at a point where he doesn’t know how to cope with his problems. Last week Wednesday Thompson went from pillar to post in pursuit of an explanation for R1 200 that disappeared from his bank
account. One of the SASSA officials in Tzaneen reportedly told him that his account was used to buy groceries worth R1 200 at Boxer. Thompson told Bulletin that he has never lost or given anyone access to his account. Officials were reluctant to assist him and told him to go to head office for further enquiries. SASSA’s General Manager, Mr

Daniel Sedibeng, could not be reached for comment. It is alleged that he spends most of his time in ANC meetings as the party’s deputy regional secretary.
Thompson has taken the matter further with the Police to investigate the disappearance of his money. — Arnold Mabunda arnold@bulletin.us.com
Residents in Tzaneen could soon be living in a safer environment. This is after a stakeholder meeting was held on Wednesday with heads of police and local authorities to address the situation. Limpopo Police Deputy Commissioner Maj Gen Benny Ntlemeza told a gathering of councillors, chiefs, indunas and government officials that tackling crime should be easy. Residents should be united, proactive and utilise community policing forums to their advantage. This would help them to quickly spot criminal activities within their communities and alert the police, he said. It has been alleged that police delays to respond to emergencies due to a shortage of vehicles frustrate people. Ntlemeza said that the SAPS had enough vehicles for police to execute their job. It is inexcusable for police to delay attendening to emergencies because of transport problems. “Residents should alert us in such incidents”, added Ntlemeza. “Inform me on 082 565 7386 if and when such alleged delays are experienced,” he said. — Arnold Mabunda arnold@buletin.us.com

Problems with hawkers are considered answers to our questions were supplied by the GTM’s spokesperson, Mr Neville Ndlala. Bulletin: We have been notified by hawkers and the Tzaneen Motor Mechanics Association of a meeting with the GTM on Thursday at 10:00. Can you please brief me on what that meeting is all about? GTM: The meeting with Hawkers and Bush Mechanics has not yet been confirmed, since the Hawkers Association requested time to consult with their committee members. The meeting is to discuss the handover of a new site for the bush motor mechanics. The new site is the open space opposite Choice Supermarket. Bulletin: We are also told by the same mechanics that they are in talks with the GTM regarding the new concrete security fence in Claude Wheatley Street. They say the GTM has promised to move them to the open space opposite Choice Supermarket or the contractor is to leave open entrances for them to continue working there. Which one will it be? The main purpose of the fence is to prevent the mechanics from working there and polluting the river? No reply to or comment on this question. Bulletin: If you move the hawkers: 1. Where will you move the kiosks, since we understand that they belong to Coca-Cola? GTM: Hawkers were given ownership of

Bulletin:
2. Has the GTM obtained permission from Coke to remove the kiosks? GTM: The kiosks now belong to the hawkers.
Bulletin:
3. Since some hawkers use open fires to prepare food in the open opposite the site that might become the new space for the mechaics, will the GTM also move them to a new location? GTM: Moving those hawkers will be a second step after we have finalised the issue of relocation of the mechanics.

4. Where is the GTM planning to move the Sangoma to, occupying a piece of land near the river illegally? Will he be moved with the mechanics? GTM: The Sangoma is not part of the plan. However the GTM will take the necessary steps to remove him to ensure his safety, as well as prevent pollution of the river.

Daar is ‘n toename eerder as ‘n afname in swaarverkeer op die Magoebaskloofroete — ten spyte van weke se navrae deur die Bulletin oor die Limpopo departement van vervoer en verkeer se duidelike laksheid om die beletsel op swaar voertuie op dié roete toe te pas.

The informal sector in Tzaneen is out of control and if the Greater Tzaneen Municipality fail to restore order and discipline, the residents, especially those who are involved in the formal sector, could become impatient and start asking very embarrassing and rather difficult questions. Anybody wanting to wish away the informal sector should have his or her head read — but it can’t be expected from the formal sector to accept that hawkers have the right of way, so to speak, in every conceivable respect. What Tzaneen’s residents and business people request is that traffic flow and safety of pedestrians be taken into account; that proper thought is given and facilities made available that will prevent any comprise regarding hygiene; that noise levels in especially Danie Joubert Street is monitored and enforced; that the entrance to town, a town that needs to encourage strong growth in tourism, be treated according to the saying that first impressions count. We asked the GTM last week to share with us their vision as far as these aspects are concerned. They asked for specific questions and reacted to these promptly. We present these herewith (also read our ‘Kommentaar’ on page 6. It is in Afrikaans, but it will be presented in English on our website from Monday, when the newspaper is made available on the website — www.bulletin.us.com). The

Goeie nuus
Daar is goeie nuus vir inwoners van Tzaneen — en veral erg gefrustreerde sakelui in die dorp — dat die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit besig om meer orde te probeer skep in die omgewing van die Letaba-rivier, waar dit deur die dorp vloei. Dit is duidelik sigbaar in die vorm van die betonheining wat nou op die rivieroewer gebou word. Op bladsy 5 van vandag se uitgawe is ‘n reeks antwoorde op vrae wat ons oor die informele handel in die dorp aan die GTM gestel het. Dit is jammer dat die antwoorde so vaag is dat dit byna as niksseggend afgemaak kan word. Dit het ons laat wonder oor die erns van die GTM om ‘n oplossing te vind vir die smouse wat die dorp straat vir straat begin beset. Toe loop ons redakteur vroeër dié week ons dorp se eerste burger en een van haar direkteure in ‘n parkeerterrein raak en daar begin ‘n informele gesprek, met ‘n vroeë vraag oor hoekom die Bulletin die GTM so “te lyf gaan”. Die antwoord was maklik: beskou dit nie as persoonlik of as aanvalle nie, maar eerder as ‘n begeerte dat dit goed moet gaan met ons dorp en dat ons wil help met pro-aktiewe optredes. Dit het die gesprek laat vlot en toe kom die smouse en enkele ander kwelsake ter sprake. Ewe gou was dit duidelik dat daar ‘n behoefte is aan ‘n burgerlike struktuur (soos ‘n belastingbetalersvereniging) waarmee die GTM kan konsulteer. Gaan ons mense ooit regruk en opruk om ons dorp se toekoms te help beskerm en daaraan te help bou? En is daar nog raadslede wat meer is as ook maar net passasiers op die soustrein?

Sokker-Wêreldbeker
Hollandse vriende van iemand by die Bulletin het onlangs vakansie in die Kruger Nasionale Park gehou. Snaaks genoeg het die gedagte aan suipings in die veld vir die wild hulle in verwondering gelaat. “Dat is erg leuk”, het hule keer op keer gesê, waarskynlik omdat hulle by die suipings baie wil gesien het en onder meer ook ‘n trop leeus wat ‘n “bees” platgetrek het. Terug in Utrecht (Holland) het een van die gesinslede op die foto (seker op die I-net) afgekom, terstond ‘n byskrif gemaak en vir ons gestuur — en gesorg dat ons kennis neem van die feit dat die “wilde bus” uit ‘n rivier water drink en nie ‘n suiping nie!
Biljoene mense regoor die wêreld se oë is huidig op Rio de Janeiro in Brasilië gerig waar die Sokker-Wêreldbeker plaasvind. Ek sien selfs Vlieg is daarheen oppad! In 2016 sal die Olimpiese Somerspele ook daar plaasvind. Oor die stad pryk die reuse standbeeld van Christus die Verlosser – die Christo Redentor. Die standbeeld is uit sandsteen gemaak en beeld Christus uit wat regop en met uitgestrekte arms staan. Die standbeeld, wat die voetstuk insluit, is 38 meter hoog, weeg 635 ton en is geleë op die top van die Corcovado berg wat 700 meter hoog is. Die wonder van die standbeeld is dat dit vanuit enige plek in Rio de Janeiro sigbaar is. ‘n Joernalis wat die stad besoek het, het die volgende interessante waarneming gemaak: Dit is ‘n nagmêrrie om rigting in die stad te hou en almal wat daar kuier verdwaal. Die rede vir die verwarring, is dat daar ‘n doolhof van klein straatjies is, wat soms binne in dieselfde straat eindig. Hy maak twee voorstelle om rigting in die stad te hou. Jy moet vir jou ‘n baie goeie Globale Posisioneringstelsel (GPS) aanskaf of jy moet jou rigting bepaal deur jou oë die hele tyd op Christus se standbeeld te hou, wat vir jou die rigting sal aandui. In ons eie leefwêreld bevind ons ons ook in doolhowe, waarin ons sukkel om rigting te hou en nie die pad byster te raak nie. Die joernalis het eintlik ‘n baie eenvoudige oplossing vir die probleem, as hy sê: “Moet nooit jou oë van Christus afhaal nie, Hy sal vir jou die rigting aandui en jy sál jou eindbestemming bereik, sonder om te verdwaal”. Hebreërs 12:1-2 – Laat ons dan hierdie lewenswedloop wat vir ons voorlê, met volharding hardloop, die oog gevestig op Jesus!
Magoebaskloof-raaisel pla motoriste
Die gebruik van die Magoebaskloofroete deur swaar vragmotors is nou een van Limpopo se (baie) ordentlike raaisels. Vrydag was daar weer ‘n lang oponthoud — juis vroegoggend toe stringe motors op pad was Polokwane toe vir sake en van mense wat daagliks ry om daar te gaan werk. ‘n Vragmotor met karton het met sleepwa en al net-net van die pad geloop en ‘n groot deel van die vrag het afgeval (foto op bladsy 5). Dit was gelukkig nie ‘n erge ongeluk waarin mense beseer is nie, maar dit laat nou net weer die vrae waarop die Bulletin by die owerhede antwoorde soek, opnuut opklink (die vrae klink deesdae weekliks op en die antwoorde bly weg). Ons het by Limpopo se departement van vervoer (paaie en verkeersbeheer is deel van dié department) oor onder meer die volgende navraag gedoen, maar hul woordvoerder hou voet by stuk dat hulle tevrede is dat Magoebaskloof se probleem oordrewe is: • Daar was vir baie jare ‘n kennisgewing buite Polokwane wat swaar voertuie weggekeer het na die Mooketsi/Modjadjiskloof-roete. Later
is Georges Valley begin gebruik, met talle ongelukke in dié bergpas, waarvan verskeie noodlottig was. Hoekom word groot swaar vragmotors nou toegelaat om na willekeur die Magoebaskloofroete te gebruik? • Hoekom is ‘n weegbrug ten duurste by Mooketsi gebou? Ons het verstaan dit was juis deel van die reëling dat die swaar voertuie daardie roete tussen Polokwane en Tzaneen sou gebruik en daar geweeg kon word. • Hoekom is yslike borde by die ingang na Magoebaskloof van die R73 af in die omgewing van die Hoërskool Merensky opgerig, wat die beperking aandui dat slegs ligte afleweringsvragmotors en inwoners van daardie omgewing die pad met hul boerdery-vragmotors mag gebruik? • Die pad tussen die ZCC se Zion-berg en Tzaneen is herbou en verseker groot verligting vir gebruikers. Dit plaas Tzaneen nou as ‘t ware op die kaart, want mense het vanweë die vrot toestand van die pad en

tydens ddie bouwerk aan die “nuwe” pad die roete vermy. Maar omdat die roete baie draaierig is, verniel swaar vragmotors wat maklik met hul vrag die skaal op veertig ton en meer trek, die pad en dit maak nie ekonomiese sin nie. • Die roete is ook gevaarlik vir gewone motoriste, omdat in baie van die ongelukke in die verlede het die swaar voertuie se remme oorverhit en was dit uiteindelik die oorsaak van die ongelukke. Motoriste moes dikwels hul lewens in gevaar stel deur uit te swenk vir ‘n remlose groot vragmotor wat om ‘n draai die volle breedte van die pad gebruik het of teen ‘n afdraende aan die weghol geraak en alles voor hulle weggevee het. Terwyl daar gereeld vertel word van ons uitermate hoë padongeluksyfers, groot geld aan reklame vir projekte soos “Arrive Alive” en ander bestee word, nuwe planne elke Paasnaweek en met die Kerstyd aangekondig word en motoriste gedreig word met strenger op-
• Mense soos Vlieg en Oubal en die redakteur van hierdie koerantjie moet katvoet wees vir mense wat dalk vir hulle kwaad kan wees, want mens het mos nie ‘n liksens vir ‘n windbuks nodig nie en met dees-
tredes, kan die owerheid nie met goeie dissipline en toewyding sorg dat reëls toegepas word nie. Dis mos maklik: maak dié roete vir ‘n maand ‘n prioriteit, waarsku alle swaar vragmotors en keer hulle weg na die Mooketsi-roete. Na ‘n maand word toegeslaan en die maksimum boetes gehef of beslag gelê op die vragmotors met hul vragte of watter streng optredes die Prokureur-generaal ook bereid is om te aanvaar. Tree genadeloos op (sonder omkoopgeld en sulke nonsies) en die nuus sal baie vinnig die gereelde gebruikers van die roete bereik en hulle sal dit vermy. As die GTM ‘n goeie slag in openbare verhoudings wil slaan (met ‘n voorbeeld aan die res van die land), begin met hoflikheidskaartjies wat vooraf aan eienaars van die swaar vragmotors gestuur word. Dit is nie so moeilik om vir ‘n tyd ‘n bietjie arbeid af te staan om opnames te maak nie. Waar daar ‘n wil is, is daar ‘n weg (verskoon die woordspeling). — Francois Aucamp

As illegal abortions thrive…
For most of us, the sight of flyers advertising fast, cheap and pain-free abortions pasted on poles and Dr Ndhlovu pavements has become too familiar — one hardly ever considers whether women in our communities make use of these abortion services. With laws that give pregnant women the right to access free abortions at state hospitals within the first twelve weeks of their pregnancies, we have some of the most liberal sexual and reproductive laws in the world. However, studies show that about 50% of terminations undergone by young girls between the ages of thirteen and nineteen are done by illegal practitioners. We recently asked Dr Jackson Ndhlovu, a local gynecologist, a few questions in order to understand some aspects better:
Q: In your opinion, why are women seeking services from illegal abortion practitioners?
A: Because most of the abortions women seek are illegal. In SA, abortions are only legal if they are medical; that is, if they are done during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. If a pregnancy is more than twelve weeks old, a woman will need a medical indication to terminate it. A medical indication may be anything from if the mother’s health is threatened by the pregnancy to rape, incest (pregnancy between relatives) or if the child will be born with severe disabilities. During the first twelve weeks, most pregnant women are undecided on whether they want to get an abortion. By the time they decided to get one, they no longer legally qualify, hence they seek illegal practitioners. Q: Why does the law only allow for the first
twelve weeks?
A:
Before twelve weeks, the fetus has no bones and no structure. It is like a clot, and therefore, can be easily removed through drugs. After twelve weeks, it becomes more complicated to remove it out of the mother’s body. If the abortion is not properly conducted, it can lead to excessive bleeding, trauma and infections amongst other complications.
pitals rude, although I’ve never come across such a case myself, one has to understand that these nurses are overwhelmed. State hospitals experience a serious shortage of staff in their abortion wings. Moreover, in our area, there are probably only two state hospitals — Letaba and CN Phatudi — that offer abortion services.
judged by the public for performing abortions.
Q: If you were to advise pregnant women who still qualify for an abortion but are undecided on getting one, what would you say?
A: Go see a psychologist. State hospitals and clinics have psychologists and social workers. Terminating a pregnancy or going Q: Do you think some health practitioners through one is a very emotional process.

Letaba 1 ge-Brasilië deur Noordelikes
Letaba Rugbyklub se triomfantelike tweede span vier hul oorwinning in die Boet Fick-liga. Links agter staan mnre Gawie du Plessis (spanbestuurder) en klubvoorsitter Pieter Human en in die tweede/derde ry van voor effe na regs in ‘n gewone groen T-hemp is die span se afrigter, mnr Johan Smit.
Kan jy nou meer! Daar gaan staan en loop Letaba se eerste span Saterdag ‘n Brasiliese pak slae op die lyf teen Noordelikes, teen die breë verwagting in en omdat die Laeveld se groen masjien in die tweede helfte gestotter het en net nie aan die gang wou kom nie. Letaba Rugbyklub het Saterdag met drie spanne opgeruk na Polokwane, om teen Noordelikes in die Boet Fickliga se eindstryd te speel. Slegs die
Oubal het ‘n ernstige voorneme gehad om niks te sê oor die verspotte toernooitjie wat tans daar in die Amasone aan die gang is nie, maar wanneer die provokasie te groot raak, kan Oubal ook nie maar net stilbly nie. ‘Tja, Oubal het geen begeerte om vlieë af te vang met sy kollega Vlieg nie, maar hoe meer Vlieg sotlikhede kwytraak, hoe duideliker word dit vir Oubal dat die man (of vrou?) maar bra oningelig is. Oubal moet dus vandag ‘n hele paar vlieë met een klap doodslaan, om die man/vrou op die verkeerdheid en misplaastheid van sy/haar weë te wys. Om Oubal verlede week daarvan te beskuldig dat hy net een sportsoort ken, is verder van die waarheid verwyder as wat die Kaap van Rio is. Oubal weet neef Vlieg sal dit nie mooi verstaan nie, want in sy onkunde is hy/sy nie daarvan bewus dat Oubal in 1976 ‘n bevare bootsman saam met Bertie Reed op die Kaap-na-Rio-seiljagvaart was nie. Na die ry van die passaatwinde het Oubal ‘n paar dinge van Rio geleer, wat ooglopend nog nie
tweede span kon die stadsjapies ore aansit en hulle is nou vir die tweede jaar agtereenvolgend Limpopo-kampioene. Letaba 2 het in ‘n harde wedstryd Noordelikes 2 met 16-10 geklop. Heinrich Badenhorst, die speler van die wedstryd, het die enigste drie gedruk. Cornel Jacobs het met die doelskop geslaag en ook met drie strafskoppe. Vir Letaba 2 het die voorry met Pieter Human, Heinrich Badenhorst en Ruaan Coetzee uitgeblink en hul veel

Tweedens, as ou Gaspar en Vlieg geweet het wat Oubal weet, sou hulle tydsberekening beter gewees het as om in Januarie of Julie onderskeidelik daar op te daag. Seil Oubal mos saam met Biltong Bertie die baai binne in middel Februarie te midde van die Rio-karnaval. Glo maar vir Oubal, neef/niggie, dis groter sport(s) as ‘n rondebôlwêreldbekertjie, want die

Alec maak nie en as jou hart op Mhlanga en Gom Bvuma kan ook die regte plek is, staan jy tevrede voel met hul poging. Dit is jammer dat Letaba 1 al hul goeie vir niemand terug nie. Letaba se eerste span werk vir die jaar in een helfte ongedaan het onverklaarbaar gemaak het, maar is daar baie hoop vir ‘n nagmerrie tweede die klub vorentoe, aangesien verskeie helfte beleef, waar alles jong spelers met talent vanjaar by wat kón verkeerd loop, die klub aangesluit het.

eerste drie letters van die naam Brasilië is opvallend afwesig by daai jolytmakende brassery. Gevolglik, neef/niggie, is die ronde voorwerpe wat daar rondsweef aansienlik aansienliker as in daai simpel sportsoortjie waardeur jy jou nou laat verlei het. Baía de Fevereiro eternamente! Hoe dit ookal sy, neef/niggie Vlieg weet te beweer dat hy/sy nou agter die dom-fanatiese lot aan is omdat dit dan nou kwansuis ‘n misdaadvrye omgewing is. Synde dat Oubal verneem Colombië uitgeskakel is, is dit nogal jammer dat neef/niggie Vlieg nie die Colombiaan Andrés Escobar hieroor kon raadpleeg nie. Teken ou Andrés mos in 1994 ‘n doel teen sy eie span aan, waarvoor hy vyf dae later ses skote deur die lyf kry! Vredeliewende mens wat hy is, is Oubal baie dankbaar om te verneem dat El Salvador nie vir hierdie klugspulletjie gekwalifiseer het nie, want ou Andrés se ontydige dood is niks in vergelyking met wat in 1969 tussen hulle en Honduras gebeur het nie. Binne 24 uur nadat El Salvador vir Honduras in die
kwalifiserende rondes uitgeskakel het, breek daaroor toe ‘n oorlog tussen die twee lande uit. Misdaadvryheid se ses voete, neef/niggie! ‘Tja, neef/niggie, Oubal gun jou en diesulkes julle barbaarse hoenderhemel, maar Oubal het aan julle gedink toe hy verlede week ‘n paar heerlike dae daar by Innibos in Mbombela geniet het. Wat Oubal getref het is dat ongeag die buitensporige kaartjiekoste, dit nog steeds goedkoper is as om 6 000 km agter ‘n klomp derderangse akteurs aan te vlieg, terwyl hier beter toneelspel op jou voorstoep is! “Aquila non capit muscas.” – Antieke Romeinse spreuk • Ons het groot waardering vir Oubal se bedagsaamheid om nie die Eva-geslag dalk uit onkunde te misken nie, maar ons bevestig nou en hier dat Vlieg manlik is. Dat Oubal hieroor in ‘n stryd met homself is, is verbasend; want g’n vrou, nie eens dié wat dodelik giftig met die tong is, sal tog so oneerbiedwaardig skryf oor preekmeesters, so lasterlik oor prokurowers en so onpedagogies oor skoolmeesters nie — Redakteur
