The Tzaneen Working on Fire team worked under difficult conditions to extinguish the fire in the Iron Crown mountain in the Haenertsburg area. Because of the steep hill, the pine needles do not decompose properly and spot fires occur easily.
People are reminded that the fire season is upon us and that the utmost care should be taken to prevent unattended fires spreading and causing huge losses to property. Read report on page 3 inside.
Irregularities in the Mopani District Municipality (MDM) that led to corrupt activities resulting in poor service delivery will be fixed. This pledge to fix the problems was made by the MDM’s new mayor, Ms Nkankareng Rakgoale. Speaking during a special council sitting on Tuesday, marking the beginning of her new term as mayor, she expressed her concern that to obtain a clean audit was proving too much for many municipalities. According to her, “this is a concern for everyone because municipalities are strategic spheres of government that focus on growing local economies, providing local infrastructure and driving service delivery”. She identified several challenges such as non-compliance with the accounting management officer, wasteful expenditure, ineffectiveness on government’s structures, non-payment of municipal accounts etcetera. Asked how she would resolve the Nandoni Dam project, especially the multi-million Rand pipeline that was supposed to bring water from Nandoni to Giyani, which is currently on hold for the High Court’s judgement, she said she needed time to familiarise herself with the facts before she could act. “I need to study the reports first, but in general, I will ensure that all the people of Mopani have access to water and sanitation,” she said. Rakgoale is replacing Mr Joshua Matlou and is the youngest and also the first
woman to occupy the MDM’s hot seat. Commenting on her appointment, the opposition parties supported her vision of the district and urged her to root out corruption. “It is fortunate that the new mayor came in at the start of a new financial year. We hope she keeps to what she promised,” said Mr Gareth Fleming, a DA councillor. Rakgoale is the regional treasurer of the ANC in Mopani and a former senior manager responsible for community development workers at Limpopo’s department of cooperative governance, human settlements and traditional affairs. — Orlando Chauke orlando@bulletin.us.com

• Die nasionale regering se taakspan wat moes inspring by vyf departemente in Limpopo om die provinsie letterlik van bankrotskap te red, het nou onttrek en Limpopo bestuur nou weer die provinsie se geldsake self. Is jy hoopvol dat dit nou beter sal gaan, veral wat betref deursigtige finansiële bestuur en vroeëre probleme met tenderbedrog en korrupsie? • The national government›s task team that had to intervene in five departments in Limpopo to save the province from liquidation has withdrawn and Limpopo is managing its own finances again. Do you believe things will turn out for the better, especially regarding transparency in financial management and the resolution of problems with tender fraud and corruption?

Veld fires keep heli’s busy
Inspectors enforce compliance During the past week provincial labour inspectors embedded a labour inspectorate on the various organisations within the hospitality sector in Mopani, with the aim to assess fair labour practices. Part of the inspection was on non-compliance with the minimum wage of R2 601,88 per employee. The department of labour’s chief inspector, Mr Phaswane Tladi, said, “we projected that some employers would drag their feet in complying with legislation. However, we are going to deal decisively with those not complying as compelled by the law”. Other areas of non-compliance included non adherence to working hours, failure to issue payslips, failure to register employees with the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) and failure to issue overtime payment. Tladi failed to reveal the names of the culprits involved, but said that “undertakings were issued with notices which would give them less than a month to fix the various areas of non-compliance. Failure will result in the matter being taken to the labour court for prosecution”.

ping it on the affected areas. Mr Trevor Phillips, chairperson of the LFPA, encouraged landowners to take photos of neglected power lines. He said there was a definite increase in power line fires due to it not being maintained properly. All landowners should note that as of today no open fires are allowed until the end of October. Although landowners are under no obligation to report fires, they are encouraged to do so for statistical purposes. Fires can be reported to the Ops Centre at 076 550 2260. The LFPA on behalf of Stevens Lumber Mills, Silicon Plantations and Allandale Timbers wish to thank a number of businesses and individuals for their assistance during the fires of 18 and 19 July.

A total of 48 hours, costing an estimated R400 000, were flown by four aircraft the past weekend to combat fires in Haenertsburg, Georges Valley and Politsi. The fire at Iron Crown, Haenertsburg, started under a municipal power line and lasted for about a week before it was extinguished completely. The helicopter at the Letaba Fire Protection Association (LFPA) started flying at 07:00 on Friday morning in Haenertsburg and about 10:00 a secondary helicopter was called in from Bela-Bela. The spotter aeroplanes were constantly in the air relieving one another. An estimated 600 ha of grassland, 5 ha of plantation and regrowth in plantations were lost during that fire. The strong wind and air turbulence made it very difficult for the pilots to fly and the helicopter pilots had to climb about 2 000 feet after collecting water before drop-

What is hepatitis? Hepatitis is inflammation or infection of the liver that can lead to liver cancer, liver failure and death.
Members of the new Mall of the North/SAPS Initiative
What viruses cause hepatitis? Mainly Hepatitis A, B, and C How are these viruses transmitted? Hepatitis A virus is spread directly from person to person, through putting something in the mouth that has been contaminated with the stool of a person infected with hepatitis A virus. This type of spread is called “faecal-oral.” The virus can also spread by drinking contaminated water/ice, eating contaminated foods (especially undercooked shellfish) and is more easily spread in areas where there are poor sanitary conditions and personal hygiene. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viruses are transmitted: • through infected blood and blood products, • sexual contact, • dirty surgical equipment • sharing needles for injecting drug use. • Mother to child
Hepatitis A virus
Hepatitis B virus
Hepatitis C virus
The South African National Blood Services ensures blood is safe as testing is rigorous. What are the symptoms of hepatitis? • Fever • Tiredness • abdominal pain • nausea • Vomiting • jaundice (yellow colouring of the skin and white of the eyes) 80% of infected people usually show no signs and symptoms of disease but can pass the disease on to others. Are there any vaccines? Yes. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are readily available in SA. The Hepatitis B vaccine is included in the routine immunisation programme for all children in South Africa.
Parents should ensure that children receive all 3 Hepatitis B vaccine doses. No vaccine is available yet for Hepatitis C. How is hepatitis tested for? Hepatitis A, B and C are diagnosed by doing blood tests. Can hepatitis be treated? For Hepatitis A, treatment is supportive and symptomatic, such as fluid replacement and rest. For hepatitis B and C, antiviral tablets and other medications may be given, depending on laboratory tests and other investigation.
BE AWARE, BE SAFE, BE CLEAN
Making a strong stand against criminals, a new initiative is taking crime prevention at shopping centres to the next level in Polokwane. Launched by the SAPS and shopping centres in the capital, the initiative is aimed at creating a safer environment for residents and visitors alike, both inside and outside the city’s shopping centres. A special group including Col Kotze of the
SAPS, who heads the initiative, shopping centre managers and mall security managers are staying in constant contact to prevent crime across the city. Group members keep abreast of any crimes that occur on a daily basis and share photographs and descriptions of suspects and suspicious vehicles as they become available. By doing this, shopping centre security officers can be on the lookout for suspicious activity and immediately take the necessary precautions. The initiative has already experienced significant successes, catching culprits redhanded. Ms Sumari de Ridder, the general manager of Mall of the North (MOTN), said, “since its inception, thanks to better understanding and communication, shopping centres have experienced improved response times from SAPS in emergencies. In addition, members from the correct SAPS divisions are now being dispatched for the relevant type of crimes.” This new initiative has already proved its effectiveness when an ATM fraudster was trapped at MOTN.

Water safe to drink — assures GTM The Greater Tzaneen Municipality has assured the residents of Tzaneen and surroundings that the water they drink is safe and clean. We asked them about the water situation after numerous residents called us and complained that the water tasted “off ” and looked muddy. A communications officer of the GTM, Ms Vutivi Makhubele, assured the Bulletin that the water is clean. “We have our own lab, qualified nationally, where the water is tested every two hours. Apart
from that, a blue drop station is there to ensure that the water that our residents drink is safe and clean and harmless”, said Makhubele. According to Makhubele, the only time the water would look muddy or have a different taste is when a reservoir is being cleaned or if a pipe is being fixed. “The water will look slightly out of colour for a few minutes, thereafter it will run smoothly,” she concluded. — Elliot Mathye

Summiere vonnis is in die Hoë Hof in Pretoria toegestaan vir R5,3 miljoen teen ‘n prokureur van Tzaneen, mnr Conrad Krüger, en sy maatskappy Blue Moonlight Properties 82 (Pty) Ltd sowel as Krüger in sy hoedanigheid as trustee van Mafunyane Trust. Fillsant General Trading CC van Pretoria is die eiser. Hulle het aanvanklik in Mei aansoek gedoen vir summiere vonnis vir ‘n bedrag van R16 699 318,16. Volgens Fillsant se prokureur, mnr Dawie de Beer van Dawie de Beer Prokureurs, gaan hulle voort met vonnisaansoek vir die balans van die eis (min of meer R11,3 miljoen). In nog ‘n saak tussen Krüger en mnr Tolstoi Kruger se maatskappy King Trade Investment 211 (Pty) Ltd is ‘n tegniese aspek (‘n eksepsie) in die landdroshof in Tzaneen geargumenteer en het landdros Molabatsi van Lulekani die saak uitgestel om sy uitspraak voor te berei. In ‘n onlangse onderhoud met Krüger het hy bevestig dat hy die finansiële probleme wat hy ondervind, stelselmatig pak en oplos. Hy praktiseer nou weer heeltyds as prokureur in Tzaneen.

Ministry forced to intervene in Ga-Kgapane water crisis only once a week on Sundays. Khumalo said the situation is totally unacceptable. He said in order to fast track the restoration of water reticulation in the township, a task team consisting of stakeholders from the GLM, Water Affairs, Lepelle North Water, the Mopani District Municipality and the Minister’s office have been set up and agreed that as part of a relief mechanism, the number of water tankers should be increased for now, so that every
resident in the township would get water. Khumalo said the task team would jointly ensure that the entire water reticulation infrastructure in the township is upgraded. “We have agreed during a meeting with stakeholders in the past few weeks that as part of a long term solution to the water crisis the two reservoirs should be fixed,” he said.
GLM mayor Modjadji said they welcome an intervention by the department. They also want to upgrade the Politsi Water Scheme, which is a main source of water for the people of Ga-Kgapane and Modjadjiskloof. — Michael Sakuneka, michael@bulletin.us.com

Following the continuous water shortage at Ga-Kgapane outside Modjadjiskloof, in the Greater Letaba Municipality’s jurisdiction, the department of water and sanitation deployed a team of experts in the area to help find a solution to the problem. Disgruntled members of the community wrote to Minister Nomvula Mokonyane to lodge their complaints. They accused the GLM for failing to address the crisis which has been a nightmare for many years. The team met with different stakeholders like the mayor, Mr Godfrey City Modjadji, the municipal manager, the GLM’s technical staff and community leaders of the township. These role players agreed to devise a short term relief. Mr Themba Khumalo, the spokesperson for the department, said the team have discovered that there is a great stench in the township resulting from non-flushing household toilets, due to lack of water. They also discovered that people in Ext 7 and other high lying areas enjoy water in their pipes

Doen verslag
Anglican Church
Dit sou darem lekker gewees het as die munisipaliteite in ons kontrei — die GTM, die GLM, die GGM en veral die MDM — volledig verslag gedoen het (wou of moes doen) oor hul geldsake. Maar dit is mos geen geheim nie, dat die meeste senior amptenare en arrogante raadslede byna verstik in hul misplaaste selfvoldaanheid en gewaande belangrikheid. Hulle is al so gekondisioneer om vaag te wees, om selektief inligting aan te bied en om selfs te lieg oor inligting wat die publiek toekom, dat hulle glo hulle het onaantasbaar geraak en het niks aan niemand te verduidelik nie. Maar die uurglas het baie naby aan uitgeloop en daar is ‘n duidelike gebrek aan geduld besig om by mense te groei. Eweneens is die regering duidelik bewus van die gevare wat skuil en wat voor die 2016-verkiesings vir plaaslike regerings uitgevee sal moet word. Moenie ‘n wonderwerk verwag nie; moenie verwag dit gaan om morele verantwoordelikheid nie. Dit bly deel van die partypolitieke spel en as sodanig sal dit steeds fyn gemonitor moet word.

Die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit sê nou hulle is besig met ‘n plan met die informele handelaars (smouse) wat in Tzaneen heeltemal buite beheer doen wat hulle wil, waar hulle wil, wanneer hulle wil en hoe hulle wil. Dit is nodig dat die plan op die tafel kom, sodat die inwoners kan weet en self sien of daar hoop is om die dorp op te ruim.

Hawkers’ lawlessness Reader from Tzaneen writes by e-mail: An observation by a reader: Reading the recent spate of articles on crime, reminded me of an experiment that was conducted years ago in England. A window envelope which you could see contained money was placed in the mouth of a postbox on the pavement. A passerby then had the choice of taking it or pushing it into the post-box. I forget the exact figures but somewhere in the region of 30% took the envelope with the rest being honest and pushing it into the box. The experiment was then repeated but the pavement was left unswept with litter lying around. The percentage that now took the money rose to 60%. How does this affect us? What if the town council saw fit to use the money that its tax-payers pay every month to keep the town tidy and hawker free actually use it for that purpose. If there was not this perception of lawlessness by the hawkers in particular it would bring down the levels of other crimes as well.
Madiba-dag Roy Hurter skryf per e-pos (die pos het êrens in die kuberruim rond gesweef en eers tien dae gelede by die Bulletin aangekom): En so breek die dag aan. Ek het al lankal begin dink aan hoe ek 67 minute kan aanwend vir die goed van ander. Dis mos die idee, of hoe? Soos oorle Johannes Kerkorrel gesing het’ “ gee, gee, gee jou hart vir Hillbrow”, wou ek toe maar net die naam aan die einde verander het. Maar die hoe gedeelte het my bly ontwyk, so asof daar n “ jy moet iets leer uit die gee” gekoppel wees. En ek laat toe maar die gedagtes hul loop neem (onthou ek het mos baie tyd om te dink) en kyk om my rond na ‘n geskikte geegeleentheid. Maar ek het nie mooi gekyk nie! In Burgersfort se hoof-
Letters | Briewe straat, tussen honderde mense, elkeen besig met sy /haar eie soektog na wat ook al, word die “gee” vir my besluit. Ek is besig op die selfoon, op pad na my bakkie, toe ek van agter teen die kop geslaan en van my foon beroof word. Niemand “gee” tyd om my te help nie. Almal staan verslae en toekyk hoe die nemer tussen die taxi’s in hardloop en in die niet verdwyn. Nouja, nodeloos om te sê, is my wêreld op sy kop gedraai. James Bond se “shaken, not stirred” het in albei verander. My kliënt help om my bril te fix, ek drink ‘n Oupa-poeier en Coke, en ek kan die wêreld skewerig-vierkantig in die oë kyk. Toe ek daar wegtrek, klingel iets agter op my bakkie. Ek stop en inspekteer en sien ek het sommer die spaarwiel ook geskenk! So my 67 oom Nelson-minute spandeer ek vandag om my nuwe selfoon en kaart te kry en ‘n spaarwiel vir my bakkie. En die ou wie gister jou oproep met “Dumelan, this is Sipho speaking” geantwoord het, was tien teen een genuine, Sipho. Dit was seriously nie ek wat ‘n grap probeer maak het nie. Die les wat ek geleer het? 1. Ek is nie meer n jong, vol guts vir enigiets, man nie 2. Sulke dinge gebeur nie net met ander mense nie 3. Statistiek ken geen grense 4. Ek moet Sipho vergeef! Spandeer jy jou 67 minute wys. Daar is regtig ‘n behoefte.

How often do we expect the church to comply with what it is mandated to do? The church as a body of Christ is expected to baptise, confirm, marry and bury a person. But who is the church? Is it just those who are ordained, the clergy, or is it all of the congregants as well? How often do we expect the church to carry out these rituals yet we have or play a little part in the life of the church. It is often been said “I don’t have to go to church to be a Christian” then am I really a part of the church and therefor can I insist that these rituals be performed? Yes it is the church’s duty to see to the spiritual well- being of people, in the broader sense of the word. Yet it is up to us as individuals to form part of this “training”, to seek enlightenment from those trained as church leaders. Often personal likes and dislikes play a major role in our attendance at church, yet why should we go to church? It is not to honour the preacher or the worship leaders. It is to pay homage and honour to God. When we set aside our differences and concentrate on God and God alone then we find upliftment for our spirits, for it is God alone who should be given the glory and not the individual. Therefore, I believe that before we can expect all the services offered by the church we need to be part of it. Many a time I have heard the ministers berated for not being willing to carry out some ritual or the other, but how can they rightly perform these rituals if they have little or no knowledge of the actual person for whom these services are requested. Perhaps we all should re-assess our priorities. Blessings. as a newspaper. If you correct the statement please do not mention any names for security reasons. Thank you.
Vermorsing Gefrustreerde inwoner van Tzaneen skryf per e-pos: Hiermee wil ek graag die Munisipaliteit se vermorsing onder jul aandag bring. By herhaaldelike onsuksesvolle oproepe na hulle het ek gedink julle sal dalk reaksie kry! Ons moet beurtkrag gebruik om geld en elektrisiteit te bespaar maar ons straatligte brand dag en nag. Van die ander strate se ligte bly ook deurentyd aan. Bennet en St Julianstrate en ook hoër op in Premierpark is dit permanent aan.
By die vermorsing van oortyd en mannekrag is daar ook nie ‘n tekort nie. Die prosedure op ‘n Saterdag lyk soos volg: Net voor 10:00 kom ‘n voertuig met werkers en hulle word afgelaai in die parkie; daarna volg die vragmotor/trekker en sleepwa met die grassnyers en dit word afgelaai; dan vertrek die eerste voertuig om “ontbyt” van KFC en wat-nog-alles te gaan koop; die ontbyt begin so 11:00 se kant en die piekniek hou aan deur en na middagete; so teen 15:00 word al die grassnyers aangeskakel en elk doen mee aan een rondte (seker net vir ‘n alibi, sou iemand navraag doen); die grassnyers word nou afgeskakel en op die sleepwa gelaai; die werkers word deur die voertuig weggeneem; net voor 16:00 vertrek die vragmotor met die sleepwa en grassnyers; wat agterbly is ‘n parkie met een baan kort gras, en gestrooide rommel van leë kospapiere en -houers en koeldrankbottels (reg by die kennisgewing wat deur die Munisipaliteit opgerig is oor verbode rommelstrooi en dat oortreders vervolg sal word!); Maandag is die Munisipaliteit se mense terug om die heeldag die gras te sny (die Rommel word gewoonlik deur die inwoners-self verwyder omrede geeneen met so ‘n gemors op jou voorstoep kan lewe nie).
Die hele storie van naweekdienste is net ‘n klugspul en vermorsing van die belastingbetaler se geld. Selfs die straatveërs lê en slaap of kuier iewers op ‘n naweek want Maandag is nog ‘n week om te werk! Gewoonlik kry julle baie meer reaksie as die individu. • Ons sal weer by die GTM navraag doen — Redakteur

Multi-Tasking – Breaking the Myth Being sentimental about it or applying the honey brush, is not our idea of celebrating Women’s Month and paying homage to the women of our area. We’d much rather acknowledge their essential role and contribution in strengthening the fibre of our society. Joy Mojela, who obtained her BA degree in Media and Film Studies from the University of Cape Town and is doing her internship with the Bulletin, has a keen interest in the behavioural conduct of men and women and how they complement each other. She has researched and compiled today’s eye-opening — maybe for some controversial — contribution; and she will surprise our readers with interesting articles in celebration of Women’s Month for the rest of August.
A colleague and I recently had a debate on the notion that women are natural multi-taskers, which, according to my colleague, means women have a special natural ability to multi-task. While it is true that women across the world do often multi-task — from the more traditional women staying at home, doing household work, making sure the kids are fine and happy, and that the husbands come home to a well cooked meal; to the more modern women juggling work and making sure the household and kids stay in order — and are believed to be good at it, research shows that the notion could be no further from the truth. After using functional magnetic resonance to examine the brains of sixteen men and sixteen women while they simultaneously work at two simple letter matching tests, neuro-surgeons at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research did not only prove that it is utterly impossible for the human brain to perform more than one task at once, but they also proved that there is no difference between women’s and men’s abilities to multi-task. Published in Science in 2011, the research found that the medial frontal cortex of the brain’s hemispheres take turns between tasks. “If we exclude innate tasks such as walking or over-learned sensory-motor tasks like drumming, humans cannot perform two tasks at once: one task is always put on hold, while the other is performed,” says Dr Etenne Koechlin, director of the cognitive neuroscience laboratory at the institute. Moreover, a 2004 study of students trying to identify shapes and simultaneously identify either letters or colours at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that multi-tasking also greatly increases stress. In the study, published in the June issue of Psychological Science, co-author and Psychologist Yuhong Jiang says the students, who were some of the brightest in the world, became very distressed as they worked on the tasks. “They’d be hitting keys very hard and trying to figure out. And they’d be committing a lot of errors... and these were very, very simple tasks”. “Multi-tasking, almost by its very nature of course, creates stress,” says Dr Jordan Grafman, a neuropsychologist and chief of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health. “If you are multi-tasking and it’s very stressful... you’re not going to get better at it,” he adds.
Furthermore, research also shows that even after decades of campaigns fighting for gender equality in the workplace, men are still largely dominating management positions in companies and still earn higher than their female counterparts with the same qualifications. In an article titled “Why Men Still Get More Promotions than Women”, Herminia Ibarra et al report that a 2008 Catalyst survey of at least 4 000 men and women with MBA degrees from some of the best programs in the world shows that women earn about 4,6% less in entry-level MBA jobs, are in lower positions of management and are less satisfied
1. Admit that multi-tasking is bad. For all reasons given above, get off your high-horse, take a deep breath and say it. You only have one brain which can only focus on one thing at a time. Super powers do not exist. 2. Effectively manage your time. This includes lots of planning. In 2010, Professor Keith Laws from the University of Hertfordshire in the UK studied a group of fifty men and fifty women on a range of real life tasks. The tasks included finding restaurants on a map, solving simple arithmetic and drawing a plan to find a lost key while simultaneously being interrupted by telephone calls. Although the men and women equally performed well on the maths and map reading tasks while answering calls, 70% of the women outshone the men in finding a lost key. According to Laws, because women are often tasked with multi-tasking, they had a much better planning and strategy for finding the key, whereas the men mostly jumped into the task and were less organised and thorough. Thus, while juggling two things at once will not get you the best result, planning will. 3. Prioritise. Focus on what is most important at a time. 4. By all means, delegate. If you are not living alone, you don’t have to do all the work by yourself. If it’s household related, ask your co-inhabitants to help you — that’s what they are there for. 5. At the end of the day, sleep. Take breaks in between tasks. Nap a little. At night, sleep. There is no better way to start a new day than waking up from a well refreshing sleep. Sleep is good for you, your body and your brain. with their careers than men. PS: For all the reasons stated above, never say to a woman, In her presentation at the American College of Greece, or any other person, that they are good/supposed to be good/ Associate Professor Olga Epitropaki argued that family re- created to be good at multi-tasking. It is more an insult than sponsibilities were amongst some of the main things hold- a compliment to say so.

Hence in this case, it is clear O. Epitropaki. “What Holds Women Back? Gender Barriers at Work” multi-tasking is not meant for the human brain — male or female.

GTM to create ‘germ-free’ trading zone
The Greater Tzaneen Municipality has now promised to deliver on its pledge... a more hygienic trading zone for hawkers around the town. This comes after many businesses operating near the “old” Checkers building complained that the bad smell of urine and rotten foodstuffs were affecting their businesses. These include Simpson Motors on the corner of Loop and Danie Joubert Street, whose cars
are sometimes damaged by the hawkers. The constant yelling while selling their products, makes it very difficult for people in offices and shops in the area to communicate with their clients. There are lawyers, doctors and other professional people with consulting rooms and offices in the area. According to GTM communications officer Vutivi Makhubele, the problem with hawkers has been long noted by the GTM. She said that the GTM is busy with an ongoing process to create a nonlittering and hygienic environment for the hawkers to operate. “We have started with a process to alleviate the number of unhygienic trading zones to reduce other businesses from being affected. One example is the removal of the bush mechanics from the Letaba River. We are hoping to equip the permitted hawkers with hygienic gas-stoves and proper sanitation facilities. However, it should be noted that this will be a process and the business community should be patient”, said Makhubele.

excuses. They do this to boycott attempts to address the problems. They are losing clients, but the GTM’s interest is limited to the hawkers. Makhubele explained: “It is a very big problem when people are not informed about certain issues. The postponement of meetings between the GTM, the business community and hawkers was due to stakeholders being absent from these meetings, hence meetings needed to be cancelled”. Makhubele concluded by saying that the plan to demarcate hawkers to proper trading zones is on track. In the meantime, a GTM contracted company is busy putting in place new steel structures for hawkers to conduct their small businesses. — Elliot Mathye

Al die dankies
Kerke, skole, diensklubs, liefdadigheidsorganisasies en dies meer geniet deurlopend ondersteuning uit die gemeenskap, in die vorm van borgskappe en skenkings en wil dan graag dankie sê en wil hê die dankie moet so wyd as moontlik gesien word. Die Bulletin het besluit om voortaan ‘n spesiale ruimte daarvoor af te staan en soos dit nodig is die dankies te publiseer.

Meanwhile, many owners of businesses said to us that they were fed-up and have had enough of empty promises. “Why has it taken so long for the GTM to wake up and how long will it now take to re-organise the hawkers? How are they now going to move and remove the people?” “What will the GTM do if we decide to stop paying our rates and taxes? We are legally here and have licences but we are being pushed out by illegal hawkers. We try to communicate with the GTM but they seem to favour the illegal hawkers. They arrange meetings but keep on cancelling the meetings with us. Who do they think they fool?”, asked one of the prominent business managers in the CBD. Another one said the meetings are cancelled because the hawkers don’t show up or have
skool, Unicorn, Stanford and Kings Court for the use of their fields. We are looking forward to continue this great cricket tradition next year. • Die Vossies sê dankie aan mnr.

Hospitals desperate for specialists It seems clear that many patients in public hospitals in Limpopo, especially Tzaneen, are not receiving adequate health care or have to be put on waiting lists due to a lack of specialised practitioners or hospital equipment. This relates to an incident that took place in Agatha Street, Tzaneen, where a man, Mr Mohammed Ali, was injured after a car pushed over a wall onto him, leaving him badly injured. Ali was taken to Van Velden, transferred to Letaba and later brought back to Van Velden. Apparently he was put on the waiting list for a number of days for Mankweng Hospital. According to Provincial department of health senior communications manager, Mr Macks Lesufi, the shortage of specialist practitioners in hospitals is the main cause

for most of the delays in patients being treated in time. Lesufi said: “I should indicate that it is important for the public to appreciate and acknowledge that our country has shortage of specialist practitioners. This shortage will always cause backlogs. However, we will always make sure that we refer patients to our two tertiary institutions, being Mankweng and Polokwane. In this specific case an assessment has already been done by our doctors in Van Velden.” Lesufi added that Ali would be booked in for treatment. He said that the delay does not mean he is not a priority, but there are other critical cases.
Lede van Letaba Voortrekkers het op 18 Julie hande gevat met Westfalia Fruit-werknemers en die Choice Trust, om ‘n skoonmaakpoging in Makgoba Village buite Tzaneen van stapel te stuur. Makgoba Village is geleë op die Tzaneen-Modjadjiskloofpad, slegs 300m van die teerpad, maar min mense weet van die bestaan daarvan. Nagenoeg 3500 mense woon daar, en dis hoofsaaklik ‘n toevlugsoord vir immigrante uit naburige state. Die toestand van behuising en dienste kort aandag. Die skoonmaakpoging was goeie blootstelling vir die betrokkenes aan die nood in die gemeenskap, en gemeenskapslede het fluks meegedoen. Die rommel is in sakke bymekaar gemaak en verwyder.

Deadlock in salary talks At least 63 emergency medical personnel employed by the department of health in Limpopo in 2011 have not been paid the stipend that was advertised for the posts. Allegations are that wage negotiation adjustments have come to a deadlock. Departmental spokesman Macks Lusufi was unavailable for comment at the time of going to press. — Arnold Mabunda, arnold@bulletin.us.com

Voel jy vandag dankbaar? Dalk wil jy dit op ‘n kennelike wyse bevestig... Haar naam is Wilette Engelbrecht (Lombard). Sy is’n maatskaplike werker wat terug Tzaneen toe verhuis het in 2009. Sy het hier groot geword (haar nooiensvan verraai dit). Sy het ook hier skool gegaan. Sy het aan die einde van 2009 by die Laerskool Tzaneen as hul skoolberader met ons kindertjies begin werk. In 2010 het sy ook leerlinge by Stanford Lake College begin help. Tans werk sy drie oggende
per week by die laerskool en een middag per week konsulteer sy met privaat kliënte by SLC. Maar dit gaan nie elke dag maklik nie... In April 2011 is Wilette op 38-jarige ouderdom met Graad 4-kolonkanker gediagnoseer. In Mei is ‘n gewas uit haar kolon verwyder en drie dae later is nog ‘n klein tumor uit haar linkerlong verwyder. Na twee maande se herstel het sy nog ses chemoterapiebehandelings onvang. Teen einde Oktober het ‘n CT-skandering gewys sy is “skoon”. Presies een jaar later het ‘n tumor aan haar baarmoeder ontwikkel. Binne vier dae is ‘n vol histerektomie gedoen en die professor het haar linker nierpyp verwyder en ‘n nuwe pyp opgebou. Die CT-skandering het gewys dat die kanker terug is in die longe en ook ‘n gewas in die lewer. Voor enige verdere chemo moes sy eers herstel. Die onkoloog het beoog om teen die einde April 2013 weer ses chemobehandelings te doen. In begin April het Wilette erge hoofpyne gekry. Sy is gehospitaliseer en na’n brein-CT het die dokters ontdek daar is drie gewasse op haar brein. Sy moes onmiddellik met radiasie- en chemoterapie begin. Na tien radiasiesessies, twaalf chemosessies en ses chemotabletsessies wys die laaste skandering die breintumors is onaktief en net die buitewand is oor van die tumor, die grootste tumors in die long en lewer is albei kleiner. Wilette getuig: “Dit is net deur die Here se genade en Sy genesing dat ek deur hierdie moeilike tye kom — en natuurlik ‘n wonderlike man, kinders, familie, vriende en kollegas. Die onkoloog wil graag nou vir my ‘n rustyd van so twee maande gee, maar omdat die tumors in die long en lewer nog daar is, kan ons nie ophou nie. Daar is nuwe terapie wat beskikbaar is in Suid-Afrika, maar ons sukkel
om die mediese fondse te kry om hiervoor te betaal. Die terapie beweeg alles weg van die gewone chemoterapie wat die liggaam se immuniteit verswak en wel goeie werk doen, maar ongelukkig ook al die goeie selle afbreek. Hierdie terapie word in Duitsland en Engeland as nuwe biologiese terapie aanvaar.” Dié terapie beloop ‘n intensiewe kursus van twee weke, waar hulle nie net die kanker teiken nie, maar ook jou liggaam opbou en na chemoterapie help herstel. Die biologiese terapie fokus op middels wat die kanker beveg en nie die hele stelsel nie. Die twee weke se terapie kos R70 000. Dit is moeilik om na alles nog dié duur terapie te bekostig. Dit is egter waar u en ek in die prentjie kom. Ons kan bydra om ‘n vegter te help. Lees wat sê mnr Vic Rijnen, die hoof van die Laerskoot Tzaneen, oor die moedige Wilette: “Wilette is ‘n gekwalifiseerde en uiters bekwame maatskaplike werker wat ongelooflike en broodnodige berading en hulpverlening aan ons kinders, ouers en personeel lewer. Sy is ook ‘n steunpilaar wyer in die omgewing. Haar diep gelowigheid en dapperheid het ons as skool saam met haar deur al hierdie trauma beleef. “Sy is ’n voorbeeld vir almal, glo steeds volkome in haar volkome herstel. Hierdie radikale nuwe behandeling is volgens spesialiste nog ‘n laaste uitweg en het ons as skool besluit om die vrymoedigheid te neem en die breë gemeenskap te nader. Bydraes kan gedeponeer word in die trustrekening wat by Flippie Coetzer Prokureurs vir dié doel geopen is: Coetzer Prokureurs Trust, Nedbank, Rekeningnommer 1419049976, Takkode 141949. Kom mense, kom ons help...

Merensky hosted another great cricket week Excellent cricket was on display most of the time, during Merensky High School’s eighteenth cricket week. Matches were played in a 50 overs format and in some nail biting matches the difference between a win or lose rested upon the last ball bowled. Participating schools included PHS, Penryn, Waterkloof, HPC Tukkies, Garsfontein, Montana, Randburg, Heidelberg Volkskool, Pretoria-Noord, Stanford and Heuwelkruin. A formal prize giving function and dinner rounded off the cricket week. Zander de Bruyn, a recently retired Protea player, was the guest speaker at the formal function. De Bruyn was the first SA test cricketer after Barry Richards to score a 1 000 runs in a domestic first class international cricket season. He was also awarded as the best run scorer in SA during that year. He played in four test matches for the Proteas and his last test was played in the same match where Dale Steyn, a former Plasie, made

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het ‘n suksesvolle kriekettoernooi in die skoolvakansie aangebied, waaraan veertien spanne deelgeneem het — agt o.15- en ses eerste spanne van onder meer Montana, Dr E G Jansen, Florida, Dinamika, Benoni High, Wonderboom, Kempton Park en Penryn College. Ben Vorster se eerste span het ál vyf hul wedstryde oortuigend gewen en het ook as die enigste onoorwonne eerste span in die toernooi uit die stryd getree. Kaptein Etienne Botha het twee honderdtalle aangeteken en Aubrey van Renen is as die beste senior kolwer van die toernooi aangewys. Etienne Botha het ook ‘n 100%-krieketbeurs ontvang en Girvacques de Jager ‘n 50%-beurs aan die SSE-krieketinstituut in Pretoria. Gedurende die toernooi het die Noordelikes se amateurafrigters, Mark Charlton en Chris Cardoso, tussen die velde rondbeweeg en die spanne en afrigters gehelp.

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster kan na Saterdag se eindstryde om Limpopo se rugbykampioene vir groot skole te bepaal, met vier spanne spog wat as kampioene gekroon is; terwyl twee spanne die naaswenners in hul afdelings was. Die o.14A’s moes teen Frikkie Meyer speel en in ‘n taai wedstryd het die Vossies eerste punte aangeteken. Teen rustyd was dit steeds die enigste punte. Die tweede helfte is in dieselfde trant voortgesit, met albei spanne se verdediging wat waterdig was. Tien minute voor die einde het Frikkie Meyer ‘n verdoelde drie aangeteken (7-5 vir Frikkie Meyer). Die Vossies het woes aangeval, maar Frikkie Meyer het woester verdedig en toe die eindfluitjie blaas, was 7-5 ook die eindtelling en Frikkie Meyer die Limpopo-kampioene. Die o.15A-span het ook teen Frikkie Meyer te staan gekom en met die afskop was dit duidelik dat Frikkie Meyer nie raad met die kragspel van die Vossies had nie. Met senter Muzi Nyakane aan die spits (vier drieë), het die Vossies sirkels om hul teenstanders gehol en die wedstryd met 43-6 beklink. Die o.16A-span het teen hul ‘aartsvyand’, PHS, te staan gekom. Ongelukkig vir die Vossies is hul ster losskakel Vrydagmiddag in die hospitaal opgeneem en is ‘n paar posisionele veranderings noodgedwonge gemaak. PHS het eerste punte aangeteken. Die Vossies het egter geantwoord met ‘n drie, maar kort voor rustyd het PHS weer gedruk. Na halftyd het die Vossies vir vyf minute ‘n insinking beleef, waarop PHS gekapitaliseer en vinnig twee drieë gaan druk het: die telling is toe skielik 24-5 en alles dui daarop dat die Vossies ‘n groot loesing gaan kry. Die jong buffeltjies het hulle egter reggeruk weer met mening rugby gespeel. Hulle gaan druk twee drieë en met vyf minute oor is die Vossies slegs sewe punte agter (17-24). Eindtelling: - vir PHS.Al drie die Vossies se spanne dring nou deur na die Beeldtrofee. Die o.15A span het die naweek ‘n loslootjie, terwyl die o.14A’s teen Transvalia en die o.16A’s teen Heidelberg Volkskool speel. Albei die wedstryde word Saterdag op Ben Vorster se veld gespeel. Die wedstryde sal om 09:00 begin en die dorp se rugbyliefhebbers kan gerus ons plaaslike spanne gaan ondersteun. • Die Vossies spog dus nou met die o.15A’s, o.15B’s, o.14B’s en die derde span span wat Limpopo-kampioene is, terwyl die o.14A’s en die o.16A’s naaswenners is.

1 Augustus 2014 Ben Vorster het ‘n maer rugbyjaar agter die rug. Die skool se o.15A-rugbyspan het egter die vlam hoog laat brand en is die naweek as Limpopo se o.15-kampioenspan in die afdeling vir groot skole gekroon. Die Vossies het hul teenstanders van die Hoërskool Frikkie Meyer in die eindstryd deeglik afgestof, toe hulle met 43-6 gewen het. Die vreugdevuur het behoorlik geknetter, toe die o.15’s na die wedstryd die beker kon ontvang. Hier is die spelers en afrigters na die stryd: voor is Pieter Haasbroek, Jonathan Viljoen, Tumi Mononyane, Stefan Paulse en Nyiko Ntlemo. In die middelry is mnr Hein Wagner (hoofafrigter), Wilhelm Roos, Mounie Rolls, Muzi Nyakane, Heini Fereirra, Dewet Vorster (kapt), Etienne Burger (afrigter) en Franco Oberholzer. Agter staan mnr Stephen Cremore (afrigter), Barend Lombard, Ferrol Harmse, Bertus Jordaan, Comfort Shingange, Gustav Lamprecht, Bernard Vermaak, CJ Erasmus, Danie Heckroodt, Shama Manzini, Werner Roets, Pieter Coetzer en Karabo Maake.
Nine SLC bikers in Lim Cross Country Team

Verlede Sondagaand bel Nostrofredamus Pohl (ja, dis sy regte naam!) vir Oubal uit die Kaap uit oor die GASK** se voorbladberig dat SARU daarop aandring dat 50% van die SA Skolespan swart, bruin of Indiër moet wees. Ou Fred is ‘n eks-Yskor-kollega wat in die sestigerjare saam met die SA navorsingspan Antarktika toe is as ketelmaker, dieselwerktuigkundige en deeltydse radio-operateur. “ Maltietaasker”, sê Fred. Oubal het redes om te vermoed dat die suidpoolkoue destyds ou Fred se brein ernstig aangetas het. In die eerste plek oorwinter hy toe mos sommer twee jaar agtereenvolgens daar. Asof dit nie erg genoeg was nie, vestig hy hom met sy terugkeer permanent in die Kaap van alle plekke. Vishoek, om presies te wees. En hy weet ook te vertel dat hy heeltemal verleer het om Afrikaans te praat. Behalwe as hy vloek, wat blykbaar dikwels is. Die ergste is dat ou Fred tot Oubal se afgryse
Nine Stanford Lake College mountain bikers were chosen to represent the Limpopo Cross Country Team at the annual XCO national championships. The riders performed exceptionally well on an extremely demanding and technical course. Lachlan Truesdale could not attend due to illness, and Toni Lacey was forced to withdraw from her race. The other riders finished in the following positions in their age categories: Reese Bain (7), Kirsten Eastes (8), Anke Vaughn (6), Sarah Pogrund (7), Abigail Joubert (9), Stuart Lunt (31), despite a broken chain, and Benno Prinsloo (22). Seen here are Benno Prinsloo, Stuart Lunt, Abigail Joubert, Toni Lacey, Kirsten Eastes, Sarah Pogrund, Reese Bain and Anke Vaughn.

hartaanvalle en gebarste are in hul koppe te gee. En dít, sê Fred, is die plan waarmee die regering wil verseker dat ons almal uitgewis word! ‘Tja, Oubal dink dat ou Fred dalk die keer ‘n punt beet het. Oubal kyk nou al jare lank Cravenweek en hy word by die dag meer oortuig daarvan dat spelers van kleur van die opwindendstes by die week is. Hierdie jaar was geen uitsondering nie en spelers soos Keanu Vers, Jerry Danqua, Duncan Saal, Curwin Bosch, Jaywinn Juries, Embrose Papier, Junior Pokamela, Victor Maruping, Aston Fortuin en selfs ons eie Madot Mabokela was uitstaande. Oubal is redelik seker dat daar genoeg gehalte spelers is om die 50% kwota vol te maak, sonder dat ons ons koppe daaroor hoef te breek. Soos die GASK self berig het, was dit al in 2009 die geval met spelers soos Siya Kolisi, Nizaam Carr en Scarra Ntubeni in die skolespan, wat SARU so ietwat mosterd na die maal maak.
Hoewel SARU later ontken het dat hulle so ‘n opdrag gegee het, is daar meesal nie ‘n rokie sonder vuur nie. Oubal wonder of hulle al ooit gaan sit en dink het oor wat hulle doen deur die etiket van kwota om die kinders se nekke te hang. Besef hulle dat hulle hulle nie alleen beledig nie, maar onwillekeurig ook ‘n saadjie van vertwyfeling in hul jeugdige gemoedere saai, wat slegte gevolge vir hul toekomstige ontwikkeling inhou? ‘Tja, Oubal hoop die ou spul het Sondagaand gekyk toe ons rakbie 7’s-span die goue medalje by die Statebondspele gewen het. Die meeste van ons het nie kleur raakgesien nie, maar SuidAfrikaners wat ons land se naam hoog gehou het! **GASK = Grootste Afrikaanse Sondagkoerant “The world is a constant conspiracy against the brave. It’s the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.” — Douglas MacArthur
Kwotas gaan ons doodmaak! ‘n aanhanger van samesweringsteorieë geword het. So vertel Fred vir Oubal oor die foon dat die regering van die dag uitgewerk het plaasmoorde neem te lank om permanent van wit mense ontslae te raak, nou gebruik hulle metodes wat vinniger werk. Sportkwotas is volgens die Kaapse siener die nuutste wapen in hulle arsenaal. Nee, sê Fred op ‘n vraag van Oubal, hy voorsien nie grootskaalse emigrasie van wittes weens verpligte kwotas nie, maar net die noem van die woord is genoeg om wittes apopleksie,
