Undiluted political tittle-tattle Accusations of big amounts of money being wasted by the Greater Tzaneen Municipality on staff and litigation culminated in biting words being used by the GTM’s spokesperson, Mr Neville Ndlala (photo), in a media statement. The first allegations apparently surfaced in a Facebook entry on Tuesday or Wednesday last week and was followed up by a local community newspaper, that printed a report re-
ferring to the allegations on their front page. Ndlala says inaccurate statements with no factual basis whatsoever have been made, and he names a GTM councillor as the source of these allegations. He adds that quarterly financial statements, annual reports and other documents (reports) are available for people to get a picture that is not blurred by any biased political interpretation or propaganda.
The Limpopo Department of Health has confirmed that its psychiatric ward is being renovated, after it was damaged by a fire on 29 October last year. Patients have since been moved to neighbouring hospitals, Van Velden, Kgapane and Dr CN Phatudi. According to the department’s spokesperson, Mr Macks Lesufi, a contractor is on site and renovations are underway. He said that patients are still in the care of their nurses who are working from the designated hospitals. “A private contractor, which we cannot disclose, is busy with the renovations at the hospital’s psychiatric ward. Patients are still with their care givers who are assisting from the three hospitals mentioned”, he told Bulletin. Lesufi also said that the scope of work to be done at the hospital will require an additional two months before the ward can be fully renovated, meaning that renovations can be expected to

Ndlala also points out in his statement that the GTM works according to the law as far as the suspension of the municipal manager is concerned; and before the appointment of a new municipal manager could be considered. It is not clear if this war of words will extend to a next round of allegations and counter allegations. The GTM’s comment, as per Ndlala, can be read (verbatim) on page 3.

be complete by June latest. “We will afford the contractor an additional two months from now, to complete the renovations”, he said. The cost of the renovations is estimated at around R4 million. Bulletin also took time to find out, from the Police, about the unidentified body that was found in the debris of the fire and as to how far they are with investigating the cause of the fire. Limpopo’s Police spokesperson, Lt Col Ronel Otto, said that investigations are continuing but could not confirm as to the forensic findings and what the cause of the fire was. She did, however, promise to shed more insight on the accident once investigations are complete. “At this point we cannot confirm the details of this accident as investigations are still ongoing. We will keep the media posted on any developments”, she said. — Elliot Mathye elliot@bulletin.us.com

Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk...
Vlieg se inbox het die afgelope paar weke behoorlik verstop geraak van die boodskappe en versoeke van ‘n klompie van sy agtergeblewe kennisse om die aanlyn petisie te gaan teken vir die “behoud” van ‘n Perversiteit wat nie “innovasie deur diversiteit” wil hê nie! Wat natuurlik die gevolg gehad het dat sy outbox ook sommer gou toegeklink is. Ja, Vlieg was inderdaad naand gatvol vir hierdie spulletjie! Vlieg was ook vanmelewe vir ‘n paar jaar op ‘n (ander) Perversiteitskampus waar Afrikaans, ‘n studentelewe en ‘n kampuskultuur belangrike elemente uitgemaak het van die betrokke Perversiteit, soos dit vandag nog is, ten spyte van, of is dit te danke aan, meertaligheid en meerrassigheid. Deur die genade was akademiese uitnemendheid, innoverende navorsing en moderne relevan-

sie ook deel van Vlieg se Perversiteit, en het dit dus nie met oorverdowende briekgeluide agtergebly nie. Vlieg kan nie anders as om skepties te wees oor die alumni van ‘n Perversiteit, veronderstelde intellektuele mense, as hulle hulself daarvoor beywer om in ‘n droomwêreld voort te bestaan nie. Vlieg wou vandeesweek voorstel dat, aangesien daar sterk teenkanting is teen die invoer van Engels op voormelde kampus, hulle dit oorweeg om Mandaryns as voertaal in te stel. Vlieg se idee is egter ge-hijack deur die Departement van Basiese Onderwys wat aangekondig het dat hulle Mandaryns vanaf 2016 gaan instel in skole van graad 4 tot 12 as ‘n addisionele taal omdat China Suid-Afrika se grootste handelsvennoot is. Vlieg is seker dat dit met die ter perse gaan
van hierdie publikasie al sou uitgekom het dat dit die daaglikse nuuspapiertjie se idee van ‘n April-gekkegrap was, maar Vlieg dink nie dit is so vergesog nie. Dit sal eendag gegradueerdes van voormelde Perversiteit baie help in hulle werksomgewing as hulle ten minste basiese begrippe in Mandaryns onder die knie het. Vlieg dink aan begrippe soos:
Gee die graaf aan!

Ons het ons Facebook die afgelope week so ‘n bietjie laat rus en iets anders gedoen: ons het naamlik op ons webwerf mense gevra om te stem vir die artikels wat hulle die meeste geniet het in verlede week se Habitat-spesiale bladsye, wat in die koerant aangebied is. Die uitslag hiervan is na ons menig nogal baie interessant. Dit dui daarop dat mense honger is vir inligting en goeie raad oor Eskom se kragonderbrekings en beurtkrag soos dit nou weer kort-kort toegepas word. Ons het besoekers aan ons webwerf ‘n keuse
Facebook GROUP | GROEP
van drie vrae gebied, oor die onderwerpe wat in die spesiale bylae oor kragverbruik behandel is. Die besoekers het lekker gestem en die uitslag is verstommend. Daar is absoluut eenparig gestem (100% van die besoekers) dat die artikel “The low-down on load shedding with Pierre van den Heever” die insiggewendste is en dat dit hul eerste keuse was. Die ander onderwerpe was: • Safety tips on using candles, en • Alternative cooking sources.

Hierby is die stemgeregtigdes ‘n verdere keuse gebied, dat hulle vir enige ander artikel in die bylae kon stem. Die uitslag bewys nie net dat mense honger is vir inligting oor ons kragprobleme nie, maar ook dat plaaslike kenners vertrou word en as die eerste en beste bron van inligting geag word. Van den Heever is immers die GTM se elektrotegniese ingenieur en plaaslike mense het gewys dat hulle hom vertrou met raad en inligting oor hoe om die probleme te systap.

Political propaganda, says the GTM I read the story published on the front page of a community newspaperd dated 27 March 2015 with disbelief, firstly because as a subject of their story they did not afford us an opportunity to give our side of the story, which goes against the South African press code. There was no attempt to contact either the spokesperson, the Municipal Manager or the Mayor to verify whether the contents of Councillor Pohl’s letter are factual. This I believe would have afforded us an opportunity to put the matter in context and correct the inaccuracies contained in the report. So says GTM spokesperson Neville Ndlala. He continues: The report has the potential to further damage the reputation of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality and its leadership both politically and administratively, in fact to a certain extent damage has been done to GTM’s image and that of its senior officials and councillors. Councillor Pohl, who is in fact a member of the executive committee which is the second highest decision making committee in the municipality has privilege to documents that should be able to guide her in her numerous letters to various media
houses, but she instead elects to make inaccurate statements which have no factual basis whatsoever. Any person that clearly comprehends how local government operates will know that funds for the implementation of projects outlined in the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) come from various sources such as own fund, loans, the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG), the Neighbourhood Development Partnership Grant (NDPG), the Integrated Electrification Programme (INEP) and Department of Energy so it can’t be true that we only have R40 million left for the implementation of the IDP. In the 2015/16 financial year GTM will have a total budget of R1.045 Billion. Here is how the money will be sourced. GTM will received R288 million allocation from the National Treasury in the form of the equitable share, R81.5 million will be levied as a way of property tax, R485 million will be from user charges, R87 million from the MIG. Overtime and legal fees are some of the burning issues that council is con-
...blurred by biased political interpretation or propaganda...
cerned about and has instructed management to urgently attend to these two problems, however it must be noted that a bulk of legal cases dates back to as far as 2008. The legal bill stands at R10,2 million for the current financial year (2014/15) and the overtime bill stands R15.2 million of which R12.5 million was budgeted for. We have appointed a pool of attorneys and we have approved the legal fee rate as an intervention which we believe will reduce the legal bill. When it comes to overtime, controls have been put in place such as reviewing the overtime policy and directors have been instructed to reduce the overtime bill. Overtime is only pre-approved by the directors and payment cannot be effected without preapproval from the directors. It must also be put on record that staff cost of the GTM is way below the 35% of the overall budget as prescribed by National Treasury. GTM has always taken punitive measures against those found to have transgressed either our policies or laws. There are several examples which have been widely published, the latest being the dismissal of the Municipal Manager.
... damage has been done to the GTM’s image...
With regard to criminal prosecution of the guilty parties, the DA also has a right to open a criminal case if they have enough evidence of criminality. With regard to the appointment of Acting Municipal Managers, Councillor Pohl knows the exact reasons. We cannot as a municipality appoint a permanent municipal manager until the case between GTM and Masiye Mankabidi reaches its conclusion, that’s what the law says. The case is at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA). South African law allows for any aggrieved party in a dispute to seek any form of remedy in our courts and to exhaust any available avenue as long as they deem necessary. It is up to the courts to make a ruling and until Mr Mankabidi exhausts all legal avenues council cannot take any further decision in this matter. Our quarterly financial statements, Annual Reports and quarterly Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) reports are available for your indulgence for you to get a picture that is not blurred by any biased political interpretation or propaganda.

Missing dagga investigated The Police in Maake are still investigating the disappearance of ten bags of dagga allegedly stolen from their holding cells almost a month ago. According to Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe and Lt Col Ronel Otto, the Tzaneen Police cluster’s spokesperson and the provincial Police’s spokesperson respectively, an internal investigation and processes are still underway. The dagga in question, estimated to a street value of R35 739, was seized from Samuel Nyakale (54) and Phiwa Gama (21), who were arrested along the R36 (Tzaneen to Lydenburg) road a few days before the theft for being in possession thereof. Nyakale and Gama were arrested and detained at Maake Police holding cells. They have since appeared in the Naphuno Magistrates’ Court and their case was remanded. No arrests have been made in connection with the theft thus far.

Experts appointed to assist Mopani with audit The Mopani District Municipality (MDM) has finalised the appointment and induction of its audit committee (AC) members. The announcement was made on Tuesday and should be welcomed by all tax payers. The MDM’s municipal manager, Mr Tim Maake, was recently suspended and serious allegations of mismanagement in the MDM are being made. The MDM has appointed experts from various fields as part of the committee, in line with the council’s determination to turn around the situation at the institution that has experienced financial management challenges in the past (putting it mildly — Ed). An AC is an independent committee constituted to review the control, governance and risk management within the institution, established in terms of the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA). The AC is responsible for oversight of the institution’s control, governance and risk management. Furthermore, the committee should provide the accounting officer/authority with independent counsel, advice and direction in respect of risk management. The stakeholders rely on the AC for an independent and objective view of the institution’s risk management effectiveness.

Die Boodskap Dr Jan Truter Ned Herv Kerk Letsitele
Vertel ‘n bietjie meer Vroeër dié week het die burgemeester van die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit die jaarlikse voorlopige begrotingsrede gelewer. Dit moet nog deur gemeenskappe (wat belangstelling toon en nie maar net kla nie) oorweeg en bespreek word en daar kan nog veranderings kom. In den brede lyk dit nie te sleg nie, maar papier is geduldig. Die mooi plannepapier moet in die praktyk nougeset toegepas word. Ongelukkig het die geskiedenis al gewys dat die goeie voornemens nie so maklik die eindstreep haal nie. Om uit die Engels te gaan leen: The roadto hell is paved with good intentions. Benewens die GTM se voornemens om strenger te waak teen oortydbetaling, die getal werknemers, salaris- en loonverhogings en die algemene dissipline by werkers en bestuur, behoort daar ook meer deursigtigheid te wees oor sake soos bv: • Wat gaan aan by GTfm, en wat kos die uitsaaipoging die belastingbetalers? Hoekom word die boeke hieroor dig gehou? • Die geldkraantjie na GTeda (die ekonomiese ontwikkelingsagentskap) word so effe toegedraai (dis tydig), maar hoe lyk GTeda se suksesse sover en hoekom is die salarisrekening so hoog? Is dit maar net nog ‘n soustrein? Die GTM skuld nog verskeie antwoorde op verskeie sake en projekte.
Salm en Geloof Die Japannese het ‘n besondere voorliefde vir salm in hul geregte. Aangesien hulle omtrent 127 miljoen mense is, ontstaan daar voortdurend ‘n tekort aan dié voedselsoort.
‘n Entrepreneur in Amerika het die gaping in die mark gesien en begin om vars salm na Japan in groot tenkskepe uit te voer. ‘n Probleem het egter ontstaan, want omtrent 70% van die salm het gevrek teen die tyd dat dit in Japan aangekom het. Alhoewel dit steeds winsgewend was, ten spyte van die groot klomp salm wat gevrek het, kon hy nog meer wins gemaak het. Uiteindelik het hy die raad van wetenskaplikes ingeroep, om hom met die probleem te help. Hulle het voorgestel dat hy van die salm se natuurlike vyande, haaie, saam in die tenkhouer gooi. Met die volgende besending het 93% persent van die salm oorleef. Die ander 7%
Ekonomiese Oorsig Deur: Victor van Wyk: Smit Garrun Makelaars Ek wil ons lesers vandag inlig oor ‘n voorwaarde in korttermyn-versekering, wat baie kliënte se verhouding met hul makelaar of versekeringmaatskappy ten tye van ‘n verlies versuur. Die woord ”awery” laat die meeste kliënte wat al ‘n eis gehad het, se hare rys en was die oorsaak van menige onderonsies tussen versekerdes en die diensverskaffer. Awery is ‘n beginsel wat toegepas word as die versekerde items meer waarde gehad het ten tye van die eis as waarvoor dit verseker was. Die reël is dan dat die versekerde geag word sy eie risiko te gedra het vir die verskil in waarde van die versekerde

bedrag en die werklike waarde by die eisstadium. Byvoorbeeld: Jou huis word gedeeltelik gestroop en jou versekerde bedrag was R200 000. Die eis wat ingedien is, is vir items ter waarde van R100 000. By asssessering van jou eis word vasgestel dat die waarde waarvoor jy verseker moes gewees het, eintlik R400 000 is. Die versekeraar sal dan awery toepas, wat beteken dat slegs 50% van die eis gehonoreer sal word! Katastrofies! • Versekerde waarde Die versekerde waarde van ‘n bate kan òf die vervangingswaarde òf die markwaarde van daardie bate wees, afhangende van

is deur die haaie opgevreet. Hulle konklusie was dat die salm se drang om te bly leef, hulle laat oorleef het. Die druk waaronder hulle verkeer het, het gemaak dat hulle net sterker en sterker word. Ons lees in 1 Petrus 1:6-7 hiervan: “Verheug julle hieroor, selfs al is dit nodig dat julle vir ‘n kort tydjie allerhande beproewings moet deurgaan, sodat die egtheid van jul geloof getoets kan word. Die egtheid van jul geloof moet getoets word, sodat dit lof en heerlikheid en eer waardig mag wees by die wederkoms.” ‘n Mens wie se geloof nooit onder druk kom nie, se geloof kwyn en vervaag later heeltemal. Dit is soms nodig dat ons deur beproewings moet gaan, nie omdat God ons wil straf nie, maar juis om ons te leer om te oorleef en net sterker in die geloof in Jesus Christus te groei. Die gevolgtrekking is dat daar nie ‘n groot verskil tussen die salm en die mens is nie. Albei het beproewings nodig om lewend by hul bestemming aan te kom!
Pasop tog vir awery die tipe polis. Die basis van die waardasie moet by aanvang van die polis verstaan en ooreengekom word, om misverstande te voorkom. Vervangingswaarde is die werklike kostes om ‘n item of struktuur te vervang na die item se waarde voor die verlies. Vervangingswaarde is ook die koste vir die koop of vervaardiging van ‘n soortgelyke produk, om die beskadigde/verlore item te vervang. Markwaarde is die prys wat behaal kan word tydens die verkoop van die eiendom tussen ‘n gewillige koper en ‘n gewillige verkoper wat handel op ‘n armlengte in die oop mark. Die prys is iets waarop sowel
die gewillige koper en gewillige verkoper saamstem, sonder enige druk of beperkings. Dit word verwag dat albei partye redelike kennis oor die produk dra. Die markwaarde is moeilik om te bepaal, maar riglyne soos die gebruik, skaarsheid, toestand en begeerte vir die produk gee goeie riglyne. Nog ‘n goeie aanduiding vir die item se markwaarde is die verkoopprys vir ‘n soortgelyke item op die oop mark. In die meeste gevalle word na die Mead & McGrouther-handleiding verwys, om die waarde van ‘n gebruikte voertuig te bepaal en dit word wyd in die mark aanvaar.

Skolegodsdienssaak: Verslag oor “stem van die kind” eersdaags verwag ’n Omvattende verslag oor kinders se menings rakende godsdiens in skole sal eers in April vanjaar beskikbaar wees. Om dié rede sal hofstukke van die ses skole betrokke by ’n toetssaak oor skole se godsdiensbeleid en -beoefening waarskynlik eers in Mei by die hof ingedien word. ’n Aansoek om uitstel is gister by die Hooggeregshof ingedien. “Ons wil dit opnuut beklemtoon dat tyd nie die bepalende faktor in die saak kan wees nie. Daarvoor is die omvang en impak net te groot,” sê mnr Paul Colditz, die uitvoerende hoof van die Federasie van Beheerliggame van SuidAfrikaanse Skole (FEDSAS). Die Organisasie vir Godsdiensonderrig en Demokrasie het verlede jaar gevra dat die Grondwethof dit ongrondwetlik verklaar dat sekere godsdienspraktyke voorkeur bó ander geniet. Ses skole word in die aansoek genoem. Die beheerliggame van die ses skole is lede van FEDSAS en FEDSAS vorm deel van dié beheerliggame se regspan. “Die stem van die kinders is deurslaggewend. Nie alleen is hierdie bepaling al herhaaldelik deur die Grondwethof
bevestig nie, maar die Organisasie vir Godsdiensonderrig en Demokrasie se eie grondwet stel die volgende: ‘That children have the right to say what they think should happen and have their opinions taken into account when adults are making decisions that affect children. Die organisasie het egter tot dusver nie aangedui dat die stem van die kind werklik in ag geneem word nie.” Ten einde gehoor te gee aan die stem van die kinders het die betrokke skole die deskundige dienste van ’n psigiatriese forensiese maatskaplike werker, dr Tanya Robinson, bekom om die stem van die kind in die aansoek uit te bring. “Dr Robinson se ondersoek verg intensiewe navorsing. Dit sluit onder meer in besoeke aan elk van die ses respondentskole gedurende die eerste kwartaal van vanjaar, ’n peiling om leerders se siening rondom godsdienstige praktyke vas te stel, die verwerking van data en die opstel van ’n omvattende verslag. Dit is ’n tydrowende taak en die verslag sal dus nie voor die middel van April beskikbaar wees nie,” sê Colditz.
Die navorsingsprojek is ’n inisiatief van FEDSAS, met AfriForum wat FEDSAS en die skole met die regskoste ondersteun. Colditz sê dat sake soos hierdie op deurtastende en omvattende navorsing berus. “Die neem van ingeligte besluite is immers ’n kernaspek van ’n demokrasie. Ingeligte besluite berus op deeglike inligting en FEDSAS sal as deel van die skole se regspan voortgaan om seker te maak alle moontlike feite rakende die aangeleentheid word ingesamel en ondersoek.” (FEDSAS is ’n vrywillige vereniging van skoolbeheerliggame van openbare skole en staan die behoud en bevordering van gehalte-onderwys in dié skole voor. Meer as 1 800 openbare skole is reeds lid van FEDSAS.) • Vir verdere navrae oor die inligting in hierdie mediaverklaring, tree gerus in verbinding met mnr Paul Colditz (uitvoerende hoof: FEDSAS) by 082 414 5359 of ceo@fedsas. org.za of met mnr Werner Human (regsverteenwoordiger: Hurter Spies Ingelyf) by 084 549 6503. www.facebook.com/FEDSAS @fedsas1

GTM’s budget: This is how your money will be spent The mayor of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality, Ms Dikeledi Josephine Mmetle delivered the prelimenary budget speech for the new 2015/2016 financial year on Tuesday. We herewith present a slightly condenced rendition of the budget speech. The past five years we have managed to weather the storm in our quest to ensure that our people have access to sustainable basic services albeit the many challenges that besieged us. Today a majority of our people live with dignity, however there are those who still live in shacks, there are those who still do not have access to clean drinking water, there are those who still lack proper sanitation. Our people still need proper houses, roads, clinics, electricity, sanitation and employment. During the recent Presidential Local Government summit Pres Zuma made it clear that local government exists to service the people and that municipalities must take more decisive action to involve communities and community organizations in the matters of local government. He said that many communities became impatient when they saw services being delivered to their neighbours, yet they were still waiting. Other reasons were demands for municipal infrastructure, anger against corruption, nepotism and a non-responsive government.
Back to basics programme
In an attempt to address the above challenges Government introduced the back to basic programme which focuses on the following: Basic services to create decent living conditions, good governance, public participation, financial management and institutional capacity. When drafting this budget we had to take numerous factors into consideration. These include the inflation forecast which stands at 5,8% for the 2015/16 financial year. We also had to keep increases in rates, tariffs and other charges at levels that reflect an appropriate balance between the interest of poor households, other customers and ensuring the financial sustainability of the GTM. The total revenue for the new financial year amounts to R1,045 billion, which represents an increase of R111 million over the 2014/2015 financial year. This increase is mainly due to the increase in service charges, and external grants from cen-
tral government. The total revenue budget includes an amount of R288m which represents the equitable share allocation to the GTM. An amount of R81,5m will be levied by way of property tax and R485m will be sourced from user charges. National allocations to fund operational activities amount to R4,4m which includes the Finance Management Grant of R1,6m, the Municipal Systems Improvement Grant of R930 000 and the EPWP Grant of R1,8m. An amount of R965m has been made available on the operational budget for expenditure. This substantial increase is largely due to the significant increase in salaries, repairs and maintenance, contracted services, general expenses and Eskom’s tariff for bulk electricity purchases. The expenditure amount also includes R273m for salaries, R135m for repairs and maintenance and R307m for the purchase of bulk electricity and water.
Economic Development Agency established
As Council we established an economic development agency (GTeda) to drive economic growth and development in the GTM. This agency must ensure that our people a majority of who are in informal business are supported and afforded an opportunity to grow. They must entice private investment into our municipality so that our people can get jobs and business opportunities. In the 2015/16 we will grant an amount of R5,5m to GTeda, this amount represents a decrease of R1m on the current budget. The total operational expenditure of GTeda amounts to R5,5m of which R3,8m or 70% represents salaries and an amount of R1,7m or 30% represents general expenditure. The GTM’s staff cost for the new financial year will constitute 30% of the total expenditure. It is critical that management ensure that expenditure on overtime does not exceed the budgeted amount. Management must also ensure that there is discipline among personnel and that overtime is kept at a minimum. Management must ensure that policies are implemented stringently.
Several infrastructure projects
Bulk purchase will amount to 30%, repairs and maintenance will amount to 17% and general expenses will amount to 10%. It must be noted that all tariff increases are within the guidelines set by National Treasury which confirms that GTM does not prejudice National Economic Policy on Inflation.
As a municipality we are currently implementing several infrastructure projects in various wards. These projects are much needed relief to our residents who are now able to travel comfortably and have access to economic activities which they previously struggled to reach. They say sports transcend all boundaries and unite us as people irrespective of our race or creed. It is because of this reasons and many others that we saw fit that millions of rands must be invested in recreational facilities. In few months time, residents will be able to cool themselves from the scorching heat in the municipal swimming pool currently being renovated to the tune of R11,1m. This project was also funded through the MIG.
State-of-the-art sports complex
The construction of the R13 million state-of-the-art sports complex that boasts four soccer pitches and three netball fields complete with artificial turf is nearing its completion and part of it is already being used by the community. In the same sporting complex we will build a cricket field which we intend to turn into a provincial cricket hub. This complex in Nkowankowa will also boast an indoor sport centre which will also be equipped with a gym. In Ward 31 in Lenyenye we are giving the Lenyenye Stadium a facelift at a cost of R14,7m. An amount of R145m has been allocated for capital expenditure. This includes the MIG allocation of R87m which will be spent on roads and sport and recreational facilities as well as an amount of R10m which represents counter funding on MIG Projects. Capital from own sources amounts to R53m. We will allocate more or less R80m for the upgrading of roads in rural areas, and almost R14m for upgrading of a community hall in Relela and upgrading of Runnymede sports facility.
More for the mayor’s funds
An amount of R300 000 will be set aside for the mayor’s special account and R800 000 will be set aside for the mayor’s bursary account. In order for this municipality to remain sustainable it is imperative that revenue collection rates are improved. Residents must start to pay for services rendered and do so in time. Property rate increases are necessitated by among others the inflation rate. The property rates will go up by 5,8 %. Electricity will go up by 12.2 %, refuse removal will go up by 6%, water will also go up by 6% and so will sewer.

In order to comply with the procedures set out in Clauses 37 to 40 of the Supply Chain Management Policy; Regulation 14 of SCM Regulations and the Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003) (MFMA), the municipality developed a supplier database to be used by the Supply Chain Management office. The purpose of this database is to give all
prospective suppliers an equal opportunity to submit quotations to the Greater Letaba Municipality.

WIK Triathlon was a huge success Stanford Lake College recently hosted the popular Wik Triathlon and it was once again a huge success. The Wik was started to commemorate Wik van der Walt who was a staff member at Stanford Lake College. Unfortunately he passed away on in June 2012, while he was competing in a mountain bike race. He was a member of the outdoor centre staff and very passionate about the environment and adventure. This year 320 athletes participated in the event, 80 more than last year!

The three beste achievers were Lachlan Tuesdale who came third overall in the 35 km MTB race for males, and Emma Mellville and Marmari Pieterse who came fourth overall in the MTB race for females.
Beginselvas of Bandiet? deurgeloop het oor dié woord. Vir die dokter wat destyds so beswaard was, wil Oubal net uitwys dat dit niks vreemd is vir spelers om teenstanders op die rakbieveld moffies te noem nie, maar dit word nie gebruik as ‘n verwysing na iemand se seksuele oriëntasie nie. Nee, dokter, dis ‘n poging om die ander persoon uit te maak as ‘n swakkeling en sy selfvertroue te knou sodat jy die sielkundige oorhand kan kry. Niks met homofobie te doen nie. Ongelukkig was dit volgens wat Oubal verneem nie die geval met Potgieter nie, want toe hét dit glo na die oriëntasie van ‘n Brumbiespeler verwys. ‘n Mens sou dink dat selfs iemand van Uitenhage sal weet dat nie

alle rakbiespelers ooit heteroseksueel is of was nie, so dit behoort nie ‘n kwessie op die veld te wees nie. En dit is hieroor dat Pocock beswaar by die skeidsregter aangeteken het en Potgieter uiteindelik swaar gestraf is deur die ARU — nogal met ‘n boete van AU$20 000. Dis ‘n aardige bedrag in rande volgens Oubal se berekening, wat dui op die erns van die saak. So, is Pocock maar net ‘n klikbek, of steek daar meer in die man? Die waarheid is dat hy ‘n man van vaste beginsels is en nie skroom om dit uit te leef nie. Verlede jaar byvoorbeeld was Pocock so half in die moeilikheid toe hy in die openbaar protes aangeteken het teen die opening van ‘n steenkoolmyn in ‘n Nieu-SuidWalliese staatswoud. Hy het homself aan ‘n swaar mynmasjien vasgeboei, om te verhoed dat daar voortgegaan word met die ontginning en so het sy paaie met die gereg gekruis, maar gelukkig is hy later onskuldig bevind. ‘Tja, en dit is hierdie man wat Martin nou beweer ongeskik is om kaptein van die

Wallabies te wees. Volgens hom gaan die Potgieter-geval Aussie-rakbie in twee skeur (nie dat dít Oubal pla nie!) en is iemand wat met sy opinies op ‘n seepkis klim, nie kapteinsmateriaal nie. Oubal verstaan nie mooi nie. In onlangse tye is Aussie-rakbie besoedel deur gevalle van drankmisbruik, diefstal, aanranding en geslagsteistering, maar een van die min regverdiges in Sodom word ongeskik verklaar vir ‘n leiersrol. Miskien verkies hulle iemand om hulle bandiet-geskiedenis gestand te doen! (Hallo, Bismarck!) “O, ek hou van ‘n man wat sy man kan staan, ek hou van ‘n daad wat soos donder slaan...” — Jan F.E.

Was Oubal nou stomverbaas om onlangs te lees dat Greg Martin, voormalige Wallaby en deesdae Aussie-televisiekommintator, sê David Pocock is nie geskik om weer Wallabykaptein te wees nie. Eintlik skeel dit Oubal min wie die Aussies as hul kaptein kies, maar Pocock is een van ons mense. Wel, soort van, want hy is ‘n Zimbabwiër van geboorte en het as sulks darem ‘n opvoeding ontvang, voor hy as twaalfjarige Aus toe is. Die ander helfte van die storie is dat Pocock opgestaan het teen Jacques Potgieter, Heyneke Meyer se voormalige ongeleide missiel (en dus ook een van ons mense), wat deesdae vir die Waratahs speel. ‘Tja, die storie is dat Potgieter in die wedstryd tussen Pocock se Brumbies en die Waratahs telkens die woord “faggot” teenoor ‘n Brumbiespeler gebruik het. Oubal vertrou dat lesers verstaan daai woord beteken “moffie” in Afrikaans en dat hierdie koerant en sy ander rubriekskrywer, Vlieg, al
