Comprehensive interventions in support of the current drought relief efforts are to be rolled out in Limpopo and other declared disaster areas by the Department of Water and Sanitation. The Department announced yesterday that it has deployed water tankers to provide water to areas that are hardest hit by the drought. It will also include interventions such as reuse, eradication of illegal water use, drilling of boreholes in suitable areas and rainwater harvesting as short term solutions. At the same time the Department is appealing to

every individual to use water sparingly and adhere to water restrictions as well as efficient water use practices including not filling swimming pools or watering their gardens during the day. The Tzaneen Dam level has dropped to less than 50% and is losing water at up to one and a half percent per week, but it seems to be of no concern for the GTM and residents. Garden hoses and sprayers are still used abundantly, while the GTM has made no visible or known effort to consider restrictions in the use of domestic water. Farmers,on the other hand, have reduced

their consumption voluntarily by fifty percent months ago, although the official restriction was only 35%. If they hadn’t taken such measures, the Tzaneen Dam level would have been considerably lower. The executive board of the water users association will meet next Friday to review this strategy, said the chairman, Mr Louis van Rooyen. In the meantime, consumers of fresh produce and meat are expecting a sharp rise in prices towards the end of the year, as the shortage of water has led to smaller crops and less grazing fields.

Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk...
Die wetenskap wat Vlieg daagliks teen alle wil en dank probeer beoefen is met tegnologie oorlaai. Daarom weet hy dat moderne tegnologie ‘n wonderlike ding is. En Vlieg is darem al middeljarig genoeg om te onthou hoe die wêreld was, sonder baie van die toegepaste en algemene tegnologiese wonders wat vandag beskikbaar is. Baie daarvan het omwentelings in die samelewing veroorsaak, wat nooit weer verander kan word nie. Vlieg onthou die wêreld sonder rekenaars en die internet. As maaier, papie en selfs later op Perversiteit het Vlieg nog ure, dae en weke in biblioteke deurgebring, om boeke op te soek in indekskaartjies, naslaanwerk te doen uit ensiklopedieë, inligting met die hand oor te skryf — om dit later met ‘n tikmasjien te gaan verwerk om ingedien te word. Deesdae is dit net vir google, copy, paste en print! Vlieg onthou hoe dit was om in ‘n tou te staan met ‘n hand vol munte vir ‘n beurt om die tiekieboks te gebruik, om huis toe te bel of ‘n date te reël. Dit was nie net van search contacts en druk die groen knoppie nie. Vlieg onthou selfs tele-

Vlieg onthou hoe hy nog sin, cos en tan in ‘n logbook moes opsoek en lang deelsomme maak. Ook hoe hy kasboeke, joernale, grootboeke, proefbalanse en balansstate uit sy kop moes optel en balanseer. Dit was nie net vir sakrekenaar uithaal en allerhande second functions druk nie. Vlieg onthou ook toe hy dokter toe gegaan het, het die dokter sy pols gevoel, sy bloeddruk op sy arm geluister, sy longe geklop en geluister en sy

Die dokter het nie masjiene om sy arm gedraai, sy vingers in masjientjies gedruk en X -strale, scans en bloedtoetse gedoen voor hy die voorskrif geskryf het nie. Hy onthou ook hoe hy netjies moes aantrek, sy North Star tekkies moes skoon maak en amper landuit na ‘n ander voorstad aangery moes word om Wild Geese te gaan fliek. Dit was ook nie net vir Box Office druk op die remote en ‘n sms stuur nie. Vlieg onthou selfs toe hy nog kollekte in ‘n houtbordjie gesit het of in ‘n maroon fluweelsakkie by die kerkdeur gegooi het en nie ‘n speedpoint aangebied is om sy kredietkaart te swipe nie. Tegnologie is ‘n wonderlike ding! Maar dit het mense V.I. (Vlieg’s Insiens) almal lui gemaak, en daai luiheid is besig om mense dom te maak. Dit leer mense af om waar te neem, dit leer mense af om behoorlik te kommunikeer en helaas, leer hulle af om te dink! Die hartseer ding hiervan is dat dit nie gaan verander nie, dit gaan net erger word. En dis sleg!

“Non-profitable organisations (NPOs) are battling to survive and as a result are struggling to provide life-saving services to those that need it most. This applies to all NPOs in the country”, according to Ms Marieta Kemp, the chairperson of the National Coalition for Social Services (NACOSS). Kemp said that children, families and communities are suffering because the government is not paying NPOs on time and/or the government subsidies are so low that organisations are unable to continue service delivery. “The situation is dire. There are children’s homes that don’t have the necessary funds to buy food for the children. It’s been recently announced that a crisis centre for pregnant teenagers is no longer able to provide accommodation or schooling for these girls — they have nowhere else to go. Social workers are withdrawing child protection services from some areas due to a lack of funding. Subsequently these areas are left without any child protection services”. In addition, national organisations are unable to carry out some projects because they have not received any funding from the Department of Social Development for the 2015/16 financial year and it is now already November. “The subsidies paid to organisations for social welfare services vary from province to province, but they do not cover anywhere near the actual cost of services. Some provinces pay far less for services than others whilst some have given no annual increase in the subsidies this year or previous years”. “Non-payment for services, combined
with a 77% social worker shortage and lower salary scale for NPO social workers worsen the situation. Social workers and other personnel who work at NPO’s receive salaries and benefits that are far lower than those paid by government. Our services are extremely cost-effective for taxpayers but are not adequately supported by government. We are concerned that with the many demands on the Fiscus, NPOs are seen as a ‘soft target’ and that funds for these essential services will be further decreased. This will have drastic consequences for children, families and communities,” added Kemp. The National Development Plan clearly states that the State has adopted a partnership model of service provision and relies mainly on NPOs to provide services. In fact, almost 75% of all services are provided by NPOs. The NDP goes on to state that since 1994 the funding of NGOs has declined, whilst at the same time, demand for these services has increased. “The situation is serious and positive action and a commitment from government is needed if we are going to survive and try to meet the many needs that face us on a daily basis. We believe in the partnership model between NGOs and government — we have the same goals — but we need to be respected and treated as equals”, Kemp said. *NACOSS is a voluntary coalition of prominent organisations providing thousands of services to people at risk and the poor throughout the country.

Sophie van Dyk (88) oorlede Dit is met groot dankbaarheid dat ons hulde bring aan ons Moeder, Ouma, Oumagrootjie en vriendin wat na ‘n lang siekbed weens ‘n beroerte oorlede is. As jong bruid van wyle Willie van Dyk land sy in 1947 in Tzaneen. Aan die sy van haar man val sy in by Duplex Boerdery, Deerpark, waar hulle vir vyftig jaar gewoon en gewerk het. Hulle sal onthou word vir die pionierswerk wat hulle ten opsigte van die verbouing en ontwikkeling van man-
go’s en papajas gedoen het, en sy as die bestuurder van die pakproses gedien het. Haar deelname en meelewing as lidmaat van haar kerk, gemeenskap en medemens was opreg en met uitnemendheid. Sy was ‘n onthaler van formaat en het ook vele pryse losgeslaan met haar blommeen vrugterangskikkings tydens die Letaba Skou.

At the time of going to press it was established that the woman sustained no serious injuries and she was back at work. Cronje appeared in the Tzaneen Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning and was released on R1 000 bail. He is set to appear in court again later this month. Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com
Life for Nkambako killer A 33-year-old murderer from Nkambako village at Letsitele was sentenced to life in prison in the Phalaborwa High Court earlier this week. Oscar Levas Ngobeni was found guilty on two counts of murder and one count of arson after he had set fire to the home
of his girlfriend’s mother in June last year. His girlfriend and her mother were in the house at the time and both burnt to death. The victims were Rachel Hlungwani (55) and Tinyiko Mahlaule (20). The house was completely destroyed in the incident. The SAPS have
expressed their relief at the verdict and in a media statement said, “we welcome this sentence whole heartedly as it will serve as a deterrent to criminals and would-be criminals that crime does not pay.” Joe Dreyer

The Tzaneen Eco Club invites you to a fascinating talk on “The Pollination of Orchids”. The talk will be presented by well-known orchid expert dr Sarel Spies, who is interested in nature in general, especially indigenous trees and shrubs, and has many hobbies including gardening. He maintains a magnificent orchid nursery and travels widely to view orchids in their natural habitat.

The cowgirls are in town...
13 November 2015
Rev Ron Reiners Anglican Church
Droogte Die droogte begin nou baie diep en seer byt. Dit is nou nie meer net die boere en hul vee en/of vrugte en groente en/of wild in die veld wat as ‘t ware die dood (in sommige gevalle wel letterlik) in die gesig staar nie. Nee, die sorgwekkende toedrag van sake raak nou elke inwoner van die land — op plase, in gehuggies, in dorpe, in stede, in die metropole... Die knellende droogte bedreig ook nie net meer voedselsekerheid (boerdery) nie. Nee, die land se nywerhede, mynbou, klein- en groot sake, tuisnywerhede, skole, selfs hospitale kan deurloop. Alles wat asemhaal — mens en dier — is blootgestel aan omstandighede wat ‘n wurggreep kan word. Dit is dus noodsaaklik dat elke liewe mens in ons land, veral dié in die meer noordelike dele van die land, verantwoordelik met water omgaan. Plaaslike owerhede sal moet intree om mense vinnig en met erns te oortuig dat elke druppel water nou kosbaar is. Want die weerprofete voorsien nog hoegenaamd nie noemenswaardig goeie reën wat hierdie erge droogte kan breek nie.
Local Heroes This week we nominate a group as local heroes: The unselfish ladies of the Tzaneen Care Group who so generously spend time and energy to care for the patients in the Home, as well as some who have to be cared for at their private residences.
We salute you!
On the opposite page (P 7) these ladies can be seen in the photograph that goes with a report on what they do and how they do it.

I have asked many people “When did you become a Christian?” and many have said “I was born a Christian”. Now, this is not entirely correct, as no one is born a Christian, you might have be born into a Christian family, but that does not automatically make you a Christian. It is only when you are able to make the right decision that you become a Christian by accepting Christ into your life as your Father and Saviour. It is a conscience decision and one that should not be taken lightly. We can continue as Christians in this form for our life time, but often it is not enough! We need to be constantly “updating” our Christianity. So how do we go about this? It is much the same as education, we go through schooling and then we start working, putting into practice what we learnt in school. In Christianity we need to be putting into practice what we believe. Now there can be some confusion as there are many schools of thought, there is also the fact that there are many interpretations of the scriptures. So where do I find out what is true or not? I need to test the scriptures and test what I have been told. Much like a detective, I need to investigate, probe and explore. There are many sources, as I have said, modern technology has been developed to give us the ability to research. But more importantly Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit as our guide. He also gave us talents and the ability to use these talents. It is, however, not an easy task and will take time, but if we persevere we can come to the correct conclusion. The crux of the matter is “don’t believe all you hear unless you have tested it” Being “born again” is another matter which concerns many. Being born again does not mean born in the physical sense, but in the spiritual sense. It is a re-affirmation of what we believe in. It is, perhaps, re-affirming our faith in Jesus as our Saviour and following Him without failure. Accepting Christ once again. Living in the Spirit and doing what Christ did: Loving all no matter what they have done or who they are. Not an easy task, but what is expected of a true Christian. With all the temptations of modern day life are you prepared to stand out from the crowd and state boldly “I am God’s Child?’ Blessings
Please help us to spoil these kids By Marié Huysamen “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done” Proverbs 19:17 Every year before Christmas Tzaneen Country Lodge (TCC) organizes a Christmas party for the children (3-6 years) from Abraham Kriel Children’s Home in Modimolle. This is only possible with generous people supporting the event. This year will be the sixth year that TCC, with the help of Amone Modelling Acadamy, will be hosting the Christmas function for the kids. We would like to point out the fact that TCC is not a registered institution — we are just a few friends that are trying to make a difference to these small children’s lives. This special occasion will be held on Saturday 21 November (next week) at Mangela Animal Farm, and we would like to invite you to come and share in this special day. Twelve children between the ages of 3 and 6 will be attending the special occasion.
If you would like to become involved you can help in either of the following ways: • Cash donation: We use the money to buy products like shampoo, toothpaste, basic medicine and body wash for the kids, to last them for about a year. We also try to buy groceries, washing powder and soft toys for each child. • Clothes: This year there is a big need for clothes for the children. • Groceries: The Home’s staff have to prepare daily lunch boxes for twelve children. They thus need spreads for breads and if possible something sweet for once a week as a treat. • School accessories: We try to buy a new briefcase and accessories (pencils and/or crayons etc) for each child once a year. • Fresh produce: We will come and collect or you can arrange with us to drop it off at Tzaneen Country Lodge. • Christmas presents: A present for each child will help a lot — after all, it is also
Xmas for them. • Caregivers: If there is anybody who would like to treat house caregivers it would be appreciated. Cash can be deposited in the following bank account:

Al drie die deelnemende Merensky-spanne is met podiumplekke vereer. ‘n Brons medalje gaan aan die tweede span (Carissa Ivy, Ryan Jackson en Lin-Mari Theron). Die junior span (Braam de Clerk, Canell Jackson en Cornelius Oosthuizen) het hul staal getoon en die silwer medalje verdien. Die trots van Plasieland, die eerste pan (Pieter van der Merwe, Janco Theron, Renart Botha, Beneche Jackson) is nou die triomfantelike houers van die goue medaljes.
Nuwe Adjunk
Mnr Jacques Pohl van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster is as die nuwe adjunkhoof van die Vossies aangestel.
Gerhard Bezuidenhout van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het puik gepresteer en is Limpopo se wennjer in die senior afdeling van die SA Wiskunde Olimpiade. Hy is in gr 10 en het teen gr 10- tot -12-leerlinge meegeding.

Afrigter kry dubbeldoor
Janco Coetzee is vanjaar die Laerskool Duiwelskloof se Sportman van die Jaar en Christelle Coetzer is die Hoërskool Merensky se Sportvrou van die Jaar… en albei word deur Philip Entres van Le’Club afgerig.
Die vreugdevure brand in Plasieland nadat die Hoërskool Merensky vir die tweede keer in drie jaar aangewys is as die top-boogskietskool in die land. Dertien fynkorrel-skuts van die Merensky Boogskietklub het aan die laaste ABO-kompetisie van die jaar in Pretoria deelgeneem. Die skuts was in groepe van vier tot nege verdeel. Drie verskillende bane met twintig teikens het gesorg vir strawwe kompetisie. Buiten die versengende hitte, moes deelnemers ruwe terrein met berge, dale en strome trotseer. Dit was ‘n moeë, maar tevrede span wat teruggekeer het na Tzaneen met ‘n bus vol toekennings. Op die eerste dag het Beneché Jackson, Janco Theron en Renart Botha provinsiaal kwalifiserende tellings geskiet. Die tweede dag het vir nog meer opwinding gesorg en Merensky se naam is kort-kort gehoor, nadat Pieter van der Merwe daarin geslaag het om sy Protea-kleure te verwerf.
13 November 2015
Janco het by sy skool se prysuitdeling erkenning vir die volgende prestasies ontvang: atletiek (1 500 m- en spiesgooirekords verbeter), rugbykaptein en beste vordering, eerste krieketspan se beste veldwerker, landloop [hy het aan 7 SA landlooopkampioenskappe deelgeneem, ‘n eerste vir die skool] en XCO MTB.

Die Tzaneendam se watervlak sak nou vinnig en die verandering is byna daagliks sigbaar Foto: Joe Dreyer
‘Treinongeluk’ is toe net herstelwerk... Geskeduleerde onderhoud word aan die spoorlyn tussen Politsi en Tzaneen
gedoen, waar swaar masjinerie ingespan word om die veerkragtigheid van die lyn op die dwarslêers te herstel. Motoriste wat die gewoel in die verbyry gewaar het, was onder die indruk dat dit ‘n “treinongeluk” kon wees. Die projekbestuurder het verduidelik dat die herstelwerk op minder besige spoorlyne elke vyftien tot twintig jaar nodig is, terwyl besige lyne wat swaar vrag soos steenkool en ystererts dra, elke vyf tot tien jaar hersien word. Spesiale masjiene, wat volgens hom as die beste ter wêreld beskou word, grawe die verbrokkelde klipgruis onder die spoorstawe uit, gevolg deur ‘n ander werktuig wat vars klipgruis terugplaas. Die hittegolf in Tzaneen het ‘n mate van vertraging meegebring, omdat die proses onder ‘n sekere hittegraad gedoen moet word. Wanneer die spoorstawe 50° C of warmer is, word alle werk gestaak.

SMIT ADVISEURS FSP: 44595
Published on 6 Nov 2015
Investments explained: Part 1 What is the essence of investments? An investment has to give you an INCOME and CAPITAL GROWTH! Apart from investing in yourself, you are limited to the following options for investments:
“The best investment one can make is to invest in yourself. The more you develop yourself the higher your potential income becomes, and then you can buy growth and income assets with the surplus capital you earn.” - Koos Smit, Smit Adviseurs BK.
... continued Our investment strategy
“Over the years I have formulated my own investment philosophy where optimal growth can be achieved by investing in the right combination of asset class combinations that suit my client’s unique circumstances.” - Koos Smit, Smit Adviseurs BK. Our investment strategy at Smit Adviseurs takes the emotion out of the decision of when to buy and when to sell shares. We do this by using mathematical methods and economic indicators and by consequently rebalancing different asset classes each quarter. When rebalancing we do two things. Firstly, we stay within the risk profile of the chosen investment and this obliges us to do the second thing, to sell at a high price and buy at a low price when rebalancing investments. How do we do this? We did not try to reinvent the wheel and we make use of listed shares in each asset class. Our opinion is that we have to go to the source of the investment by buying shares. We feel that the guarantees are greater for the individual by the guarantee fund that is built up on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, an aspect that is lacking in collective investment schemes. As associates, we make use of RMD fund managers and together we have founded an investments committee that uses technical and fundamental analysis to help us in our decision making process.
Each investment has its own characteristics as summarized in Table 1.1. In this table we can see that no one investment can adhere to all the requirements. Thus a combined investment divided between all the asset classes will have to be done. Furthermore, the market tends to move through different cycles and the investments will have to be adapted to these cycles. The same exercise will also have to be repeated for offshore investments to further diversify the investment portfolio. All these investments can be done by investing on the JSE in Rand. Lastly, frequent changes will have to be made with regard to the asset composition and asset allocation. Meaning that the total investment plan of each individual will have to be revised and rebalanced on a regular basis.
SMIT GARRUN
A brief explanation and example of investing in shares Let’s assume that you have R100 000 and that you buy Sasol shares at, let’s say, R1 each. You now own 100 000 Sasol shares and not R100 000. If the price of Sasol shares rise to R1.25 each, you still own 100 000 Sasol shares but it is worth R125 000, the opposite is true as well when the price of Sasol shares fall to 90c, you still own 100 000 Sasol shares but now they are worth R90 000. The problem we have with the scenario above is that all your money is invested in one basket and that can be either good or bad. To effectively spread the risk between asset classes we need to invest lump sums of at least R500 000 initial capital that need to be revised on a regular basis and to do this effectively expertise, know-how and experience is essential. The investment process at Smit Adviseurs BK We open a trading account for you in your name on PSG Online’s platform and you then authorize us to manage the funds in conjunction with RMD Financial Services. We then monitor the investments continually and we do our rebalancing on a regular basis with a tried and tested mathematical method.
The Smit Sum Fund of Funds
“The same approach of using mathematical methods to
FSP: 11184
restrict risks and optimize capital growth based on asset class allocation that is used in our investment portfolios is used in our Fund of Funds. The main component that I looked at when founding the Smit Sum Funds was to keep the costs very low without compromising on asset allocation and optimizing growth. The cost of the investment is most competitive.” – Koos Smit, Smit Adviseurs BK. Smit Adviseurs BK in conjunction with investment experts at Glacier by Sanlam manage the four funds, known as “The Smit Sum” funds on the Sanlam platform. “The Smit Sum” funds currently address all our clients’ requirements whether the goal of the investment is for specific needs, retirement or income at retirement. What is a Fund of Funds or a Unit Trust Fund? A Fund of Funds is a combination of different unit trust funds. A unit trust fund is where investors pool contributions (lump sum or monthly) into a fund that is divided into equal portions called units and invested in different asset classes on the local and international market. Different listed shares
Sipho invests R5 000 per month
Suzanne invests R50 000 Alice invests R150 000 Caleb invests R1 500 per month
bought by fund manager Pooled funds = Unit trust fund
Different listed shares bought by fund manager Different listed shares bought by fund manager Different listed shares bought by fund manager
When you invest in a unit trust you receive units to the value of the amount of money that you invest for example if the price of one unit is R5 and you invest R5000 as a lump sum, you will own 1000 units in the fund. If you invest R1500 per month in a unit trust fund, you will buy 300 units this month and units to the value of R1500 the following months. Units are usually priced daily because the value of the underlying assets, which the unit trust fund manager invested in, changes every day in line with market movements. What are the advantages of investing in a unit trust fund? Unit trust investments Unit trust funds have one are very flexible and obvious advantage and that is with a small monthly direct access for investors to the contribution starting at wealth creation and profits of the R 1 500 per month or a lump sum of R 50 000, Johannesburg Stock Exchange you can share in some (JSE) and international markets of the biggest and best by pooling funds from multiple investments that the investors. economy has to offer. This aspect regarding unit trust funds are attractive to investors in the sense that by pooling funds smaller monthly contributions and lump sums investors can get exposure to local and international stock markets and that the risk of your investment
can be distributed properly while capital growth is optimized. Capital growth over the medium to long term (5 years and longer to really see your capital grow) can be achieved and unit trusts have become the ideal way to provide for medium to long term needs such as saving for a deposit on a house, retirement or your child’s tertiary education. With unit trusts you also have direct access to your money and your investment can serve as an emergency fund to take care of a sudden financial crisis. Investing in a unit trust fund is also tax effective and cost effective. Types of unit trust funds at Smit Adviseurs BK Depending on a client’s needs and risk profile (the risk you are willing to take with your investment) and the aim of the investment there are four different wrap funds at Smit Adviseurs BK. 1. The Smit Sum Cautious Fund This fund aims to provide investors with stable income and a high level of capital stability. The probability of capital loss over the medium to long term is low. The fund will consist primarily of income orientated assets with a below average exposure to equities (maximum of 40%). Investors should have a minimum investment horizon of 3 years. 2. The Smit Sum Moderate Fund This fund aims to provide a reasonable level of capital growth over the medium term. Investors in this fund are prepared to tolerate moderate fluctuations in the value of their investment over the short term. The fund will be diversified across all major asset classes with an average exposure to equities (maximum of 60%). Investors in this fund should have a minimum investment horizon of 3 years or longer. 3. The Smit Sum Moderate Aggressive Fund The fund aims to provide a high level of capital growth over the long term. Investors in this fund are prepared to tolerate high fluctuations in the value of their investment over the short term. The fund will be diversified across all major asset classes with a bias towards equities (maximum of 75%). Investors in this fund should have a minimum investment horizon of 5 years. 4. The Smit Sum Flexible Fund The fund aims to provide a high level of capital growth over the long term. Investors in this fund are prepared to tolerate high fluctuations in the value of their investment over the short term. The fund will be diversified across all major asset classes with a strong bias towards equities (maximum of 100%) and can invest in South African and/or foreign markets up to 100% either way. Investors in this fund should have a minimum investment horizon of 5 years or longer.

Die Laerskool Tzaneen het ‘n gholfdag gehou, om geld vir vir skool in te samel. Lino de Carvalho en Jannie Spaumer was die wenners van die toernooi. Hier is hulle saam met die skoolhoof, mnr Vic Rijnen.
Stanford Lake College put up an excellent performance against Ben Vorster on Saturday in a Pro20 League cricket match. SLC won the toss and fielded first. Their bowlers were well disciplined and kept the run rate down. It was a much improved fielding display from the previous game. Adam McGaffin took two wickets and a good spell by Jason Wright restricted the visitors to 146/2 in 20 overs. Knowing they would have to bat well and build good partnerships to win the
Werner Rossouw en Willes Steenkamp moes maar so ‘n bietjie spot verduur, nadat hulle die gholf se BoeBoe-pryswenners was. Die veld Bennie en Piet van der Berg het was te sterk vir hulle… met die derde prys weggestap, in die Laerskool Tzaneen se gholftoernooi. Oppie Kassie
Proteas en Kiwi’s soek salf ná afknouery Wraak is ʼn onsmaaklike woord, maar Suid-Afrika en Nieu-Seeland se krieketspanne sal daarop ingestel wees om Indië en Australië dié naweek vir verlede week se afknouery terug te betaal. Ná die slae wat die Proteas en die Kiwi’s in die eerste wedstryde van die toetsreekse verduur het, verwag hul ondersteuners veel beter vertonings in die herontmoetings. Albei wedstryde – en verskeie ander – word regstreeks op televisie uitgesaai en behoort kos vir fynproewers te wees. Die SA sokkerspan se Wêreldbekerdrome word in die eerste van twee wedstryde teen Angola aan nóg ʼn strawwe toets onderwerp. Ook dié kragmeting word regstreeks uitgesaai, net soos die Brasiliaanse Grand Prix en verskeie rugbywedstryde in die reeks om die Europese Kampioenebeker.

game, Stanford put up a good opening stand from Graeme Harty (38) and Estian Botha (25), who scored at better than a run-a-ball, putting them in a good position to attack the bowling. Justyn Trueman (22) and Benno Prinsloo (42 not out) took the game away from Ben Vorster, and Stanford won the game in excellent style by 7 wickets. It was certainly one of the better performances by SLC’s first team this year against the Ben Vorster team who have dominated recently.
HJ van Jaarsveld en Carl Buitendach moes tevrede wees om net agter die wenners in die tweede plek in te skuif.

Bosveld Jagters kroon die bestes Die Letaba-tak van die Bosveld Jagtersvereniging (BJV) het vanjaar se aktiwiteite met hul gewilde tradisionele wildsete by die Tzaneen Buiteklub afgesluit. Mense het weer behoorlik oor hul voete geval om die ete by te woon en aan die heerlike wildsgeregte te smul — en daar was
nie plek vir ‘n muis tussen die 145 gaste nie. Mike Gamba is as jagter van die jaar aangewys, met Wallie van Dyk in die tweede plek. Die ander lede wat toekennings ontvang het, se foto’s is ook hierby, met die besonderhede van hul toekennings.

Wie Moet Meyer Opvolg? Oubal mag dalk seniel wees soos wat kollega Vlieg verlede week beweer het, maar daar is darem ‘n paar dinge wat Oubal verstaan: i) Hoekom ‘n talentvolle groep rakbiespelers sonder behoorlike afrigting nêrens sal kom nie, ii) Hoekom ‘n mens nie jou oë en ore moet uitleen aan ‘n hoofstroomkoerant se sportredakteur wanneer hy halwe waarhede verkoop om ‘n appel te skil nie, en iii) Hoe om die “#”-simbool te maak. ‘Tja, Oubal het verlede week die klagstaat teen Heyneke opgestel en intussen doen almal lustig mee aan sy moontlike ontslag — van Vlieg en Gert van der Westhuizen van die GAD* tot voormalige Bokke Wynand Claassen en Divan Serfontein. Wat die Jan Rappe egter nie vir Oubal wil of kan sê nie, is wie na hulle Beskeie (ja, met ‘n hoofletter!) opinies Meyer moet opvolg. Soos wat Oubal dinge lees, is daar drie hoofstroomdenke met opvolging, moontlik vier, elkeen op sy eie manier halfgebak.
Oorsese afrigter
Die eerste is ‘n oorsese afrig- ter, met John Mitchell, John Plumtree en Eddie Jones se name wat die meeste gefluister word. Oubal stem saam dis in beginsel nie ‘n slegte voor-stel nie, hoewel elkeen van die genoemde kandidate sy eie probleme na ‘n Bok-afrigterspos bring. Mitchell het spelersrebellies op sy kerfstok by die AB’s, Western Force en die Leeus. Plumtree soortgelyk by die Sharks. Eddie Jones, ongeag sy onbetwiste triomf met Japan teen die Bokke, het ook ‘n 92-3 nederlaag met die Queensland Reds teen Heyneke Meyer (ja, hy!) se BB’e in 2007 op sy kerfstok.
Gifbeker

ge oorsese afrigter wat sy sout werd is homself daaraan sal onderwerp nie. Die volgende groep wat genoem word is voormalige Bok-afrigters Nic Mallett en Jake White, met ‘n paar woestynstemme vir Peter de Villiers. Oubal is bevrees die eerste twee het soveel brûe met Saru verbrand (in teenstelling met neef Gert vd Westhuizen se bewering dat hulle afgedank is) en die wergewer-werknemer verhouding is sodanig versuur, dat hulle nie maklik weer in aanmerking sal kom nie. Vir die rekord, Jake White se Montpellier, ook bekend as Montpretoria, het verlede naweek ‘n 52-8 loesing in die Franse klubliga op die lyf geloop!
Peter se verhaal
Oor Peter de Villiers wil Oubal nie veel sê nie, behalwe dat hy na 2011 nie hoër afgerig het as die Varsity Skildkompetisie nie, waar UWK vanjaar laaste geëindig het. Genoeg om sy eie verhaal te vertel. Dit bring Oubal by Vlieg en kie se gunsteling, Johan Ackermann. Laat Oubal uit die staanspoor sê Ackermann is ‘n vars bries onder SA afrigters en dit wat hy reggekry het met beperkte talent by die Leeus, is prysenswaardig — veral die tipe rakbie wat hulle speel. Hy het duidelik as hulp-afrigter geleer onder John Mitchell en saam met Carlos Spencer, met die pluspunt van beter menseverhoudings as Mitchell.
Groot vraag
Die groot vraag wat egter oor Ackers hang is of ‘n agtste plek in Superakbie en ‘n Curriebekerwen sonder opposisie-Springbokke voldoende bewys van potensiële sukses op internasionale vlak is. As dit wel die geval is, is Allister Coetzee met ‘n Superakbie-eindstryd, twee halfeindstryde en twee kwarteindstryde asook vier Curriebekereindstryde, waarvan twee wenne oor ses jaar tog ‘n beter kandidaat? ‘Tja, die antwoord is nie so eenvoudig nie, en die standaardantwoord wat Oubal kry, is “enige iemand behalwe Meyer”. Een slimkop het selfs voorgestel Julius Malema en Tony Ehrenreich, maar meer daaroor volgende week!
Tot met die aanstelling van Kitch Christie, was dit ongehoord dat iemand wat nie self ‘n Bok was nie die Bok-afrigter sou word, en Oubal is redelik oortuig dat Saru nog minder vatbaar sal wees vir ‘n nie-Suid-Afrikaner. Die sein wat so ‘n stap uitstuur, sal ‘n aanklag teen Saru self wees, wat Oubal nie dink hulle bereid is om te erken nie. Afgesien daarvan, die pos van Bok-afrigter is so ‘n gifbeker “It is our choices that show what van politieke inmengery dat we truly are, far more than our Oubal nie kan insien dat eni- ablities.” — JK Rowling Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Oubal is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en personeel van die koerant nie!
