Theft of transformers has farmers
Despondent Farmers in the Greater Tzaneen area — and especially in the Letsitele farming community — have to cope with a brand new problem: the theft of transformers! During Wednesday’s meeting of AgriLetaba deep concern about the wave of tranformer thefts in the Letsitele area was expressed, as it can have fatal consequences for next year’s
citrus crop. Avo’s and other crops could also be in the balance, since farmers can’t pump water without electricity, at a time when proper irrigation is of the essence. The Police say they are investigating this new problem, as well as a new wave of copper cable theft. However, farmers say the Police are not giving feedback. • Read more on P 3

LINKS: Skande! Meer as negentien maande nadat dié sinkgat op die Agathapad by die T-aansluiting naby die Coach House ‘n stuk van die pad ingesluk het, is steeds niks gedoen om dit reg te maak nie. Wat die saak vererger is dat die gat groter word. Die foto verste links wys dat die gat tot by die geel streep strek. Die foto links wat die afgelope naweek geneem is, wys duidelik dat die gat al tot redelik ver verby die geel streep strek. Ons wag op kommentaar van die betrokke owerheid.

I get a lot of calls in the Spring from people who want to start gardens and can’t wait to get started,” Ramodike said. “I firmly believe that growing your own vegetables is one way to radically improve your diet.

Farmers despondent about theft
Widespread theft of transformers in the rural areas of Tzaneen and Letsitele are leaving farmers in fear of losing millions of rands, while farmers say progress in police investigations are answered with a shrug. Farmers attending an AgriLetaba meeting this week in Tzaneen were told that more than sixty transformers were stolen over the past three months. In Letsitele 35 transformers disappeared and had to be replaced. Farmers fear that service providers (the GTM) might not have sufficient stock to continue with replacements before next year. Mr Pierre Smit of Letsitele said in his security report that all cases were reported to the police immediately, but no feedback on results has been given. The loss of a transformer on a farm causes a delay in vital irrigation programmes, because pumps and watering systems come to a halt. According to Mr Zander Ernst, vice-chairman of AgriLetaba, this can lead to poor fruit set among citrus and avo farmers. Losses in crop production leading to damages of thousands of rands if a stolen transformer is not replaced in less than a week, is also worrying farmers. Mr Pieter Vorster, chairman of AgriLetaba, said farmers suggested to the GTM to equip transformers with warning devices at a cost of about R4 000 each. Farmers were prepared to contribute to such cost, but they were told it was not necessary as
the transformers were covered by insurance. However, the number of transformer thefts mentioned at the meeting are questioned by the GTM’s chief electrical engineer, Mr Pierre van den Heever. He said in the five months since July only 26 stolen transformers were replaced. This is not seen as a crisis, as there are literally thousands of transformers in the GTM’s area. The delay in follow-up investigations by the police was described as “due to a lack of communication” by Mr Willem van Jaarsveld, CEO of AgriLimpopo. He said the strategy for rural safety introduced by the SAPS earlier this year was communicated to every police station in the province. “We are going to challenge the police stations one by one to see how this strategy is implemented and executed.” The officer commanding of the SAPS’ Tzaneen cluster, Brig Thomas Shingange, said the rural safety strategy is running smoothly. He described it as rather a working solution than a report trumpeted out on public meetings. He added that transformer and
Panorama has water again (at last) Good news for the residents in the upper class suburb of Panorama in Modjadjiskloof came on Wednesday with the return of running water in their taps. They had been left without water for nine days, because of pipe bursts due to an obsolete network and lack of maintenance. A resident explained that water reticulation is still supplied through asbestos pipes in a system designed for much less residents and businesses than current. When a burst occurs, these pipes cannot be replaced as they are out of stock. A conversion fitting is used to connect it with new PVC pipes, but it must be ordered as the GLM did not keep them in stock for emergency purposes. After years of continued interruptions in water supply,
the GLM has now decided to order sufficient conversion fittings to fix future failings. The water crisis in Panorama wasn’t a pleasant one, said another resident, Mr Dave Protter of Crisis Control. He said water tankers were sent to Modjadjiskloof by Lepelle Northern Water in Politsi. He had to take to the streets with his megaphone, calling residents to fill containers for domestic use until the pipelines are repaired. “We had the water system working for a few hours on Monday, but the water was dirty and unsuitable for consumption. Then we had another burst, for which a new order for equipment had to be placed. There is no continuation in the planning.”

Onderwys-gemors Dit bring hartseer dat gepraat moet word van die onderwysgemors in Limpopo (en ander dele van die land), en dit is hartverskeurend dat die politieke leiers duidelik nie die politieke wil het om dit reg te stel nie. Ons arme kinders. Ons erns om more se leiers behoorlik in ‘n ordentlike stelsel toe te rus, ontbreek. Dit strek die leiers tot skande dat die land se appèlhof oor die grootskaalse handboektekort (van sowat 800 000) in Limpopo moet sê “erken jul foute net en hou op om ander te blameer”. En, vra een van die appèlregters, “waarom erken julle nie dat die departement (van basiese onderwys) se bestuursplan in ‘n gemors gedompel is nie?” ‘n Geldtekort word nou voorgehou as die probleem. ‘n Geldtekort? Terwyl miljarde rand wanbestee (gemors) word (het die Ouditeur-generaal pas weer bevind). En terwyl in die openbare uitsaaier en lugdiens en poskantoor en spoorweë en talle staatsdepartemente geld in ‘n bodemlose put bly verdwyn. En terwyl ons ‘n Nkandla het en ‘n nuwe straler vir die Prez wil koop en, en, en...

Having made a promise we are supposed to keep it, but often we fail to do so and then suffer the consequences. Often we regret that we failed to keep this promise and at a later stage try to make up for it. Often it is too late, so how do we fix something that seems unfixable?
Terwyl daar gereeld en met intensiteit oor die toekoms van Afrikaans geredekawel word, het ‘n nuwe dialek van Engels, met ‘n eie grammatika, ter plaatse ontstaan. Soms lol dit nog om die nuwe dialek te verstaan...

Helpende Hand benodig helpende hande
We pray and ask God to help us. It is never too late to make amends as long as we are sincere about it. Saying that we are sorry is often not enough as some feel that this word carries little weight. We need to show how sorry we are by doing things that are an indication of how we feel. How often do we make promises to God that we fail to keep? As parents we make promises on behalf of our children when we have them baptised. Do we follow up on these promises or do we forget what we promised? Often we allow our children to do as they please and then blame someone else, perhaps, even the church. When time comes to confirm the child, the child is supposed to have the fundamental knowledge of their religious belief. Often they fail hopelessly as the basics should have been taught at home. As they progress some become more confident in their faith, others leave the church as they feel they have done all that is necessary. Often a confirmation certificate is seen as a “church leaving certificate.” If we come to marriage and are married by the church, we make promises before God which we often fail to keep and often this leads to divorce as we have broken these promises. So how do we fix all this? As I see it, it is all about faith. Faith in our parents, faith in our partners but most important faith in God. We need to be honest when we make decisions that affect all around us. We need to be honest to God as to why we made these decisions. We need to constantly pray about all things that effect our lives and those of others. People often say “love is not enough” although this may be true in many cases are we carrying out God’s wishes? Agape love is an all-consuming love, a love that knows no bounds, a love that God gives us and a love we should endeavour to share with others. If at a later stage in life we realise that perhaps, our decisions were based on our feelings at the time and that our feelings have now changed and we regret that we did not do enough to fix our problems. How can we make things right? I feel that it is only by going down on our knees and asking God to assist us that we will get the answers we require. God, who is faithful and just will hear our prayers and we will then know what to do. This all is about faith. Faith in Christ and His promises. How is your faith measuring up?
Blessings.

Increased vigilance is vital for shoppers As the year draws to a close, shopping malls begin to experience a significant rise in foot traffic as many South Africans and international tourists rush to complete their Christmas shopping. These heightened buying trends, aided by annual bonuses traditionally being paid around this time, lead shops to open their stores for longer and increase their stock intake as a means to capitalise on shoppers’ inflated budget. However, what should be a joyous occasion could turn rather sour as higher store revenues traditionally tend to attract criminals. This is according to Mr Michael Petersen, CEO of Risk Benefits Solutions (RBS), one of SA’s largest independent insurance and risk specialists, who says that a spike in crimes ranging from in-store robberies to cash-in-transit heists, among other shopping mall-related crimes, usually mark the beginning of the festive season. “In the build up to Christmas, the num-
Bulletin
ber of shoppers increase and subsequently stores hold more revenue and goods, therefore attracting robberies.” He adds that most offenders are aware of this trend, and have come up with sophisticated strategies to exploit this information, thereby requiring stores to have the right cover to protect themselves financially from potential risks. “Following a spike in mall robberies last year, we have continued to see this trend in 2015. Over the past six months alone, we have seen numerous incidents across SA.” He adds that the recently released 2015 crime statistics by the SA Police in September revealed that robbery with aggravating circumstances has increased by 9% year-onyear. “Syndicate crimes targeting businesses, especially attractive high end items such as jewelry, clothing, cell phones and cigarettes, are especially on the rise.” Petersen adds that unfortunately innocent bystanders have also been known to fall victim to robberies in malls and stores, and
should take ownership, as most businesses do not provide such insurance cover for their customers. “Shoppers are not exempt from mall robbery crimes, and should not leave the onus on business-owners to cover their losses should they be affected.” The continued robberies have made safety concerns a major priority, and individual shopping malls around Gauteng and the Western Cape, the largest hit areas, have since put plans in place to protect shoppers as far as possible. These include improved evacuation plans, as well as the replacement of poor quality security cameras that have been a hindrance in police investigations. “These improvements in shopping mall safety are commendable strides towards better and safer shopping experiences, especially during the peak festive season. However, they do not replace the importance of liability cover for shoppers and business alike, so that they have peace of mind to enjoy the festive season,” concludes Petersen.

ANC condemns re-emergence of witch-hunting and mob justice
The ANC Limpopo has issued a statement to say that they noted with a great concern the re-emergence of violent crimes in the recent past, which are mainly associated with residents being accused of witch-craft and their houses and belongings being set alight by violent mobs. “In these instances, mainly the elderly are targeted, and many house-holds have been displaced as a result. This has affected many family members inclusive of children and students. “Furthermore, residents who are accused
of other crimes such as theft and ritual murders are lynched by communities who should rather report these cases to the law enforcement agencies. These cases are reported in many districts in Limpopo and this has become a serious concern for the ANC.
“In these cases, houses were set alight, suspects stoned to death, property vandalised and goods looted. The ANC does not support the killing of individuals for ritual purposes or any other criminal motives, and would like to call upon all residents to desist

from such activities. “Equally so, the ANC believes that where communities have suspects in criminal activities, they should provide evidence to the police for investigation, arrest and prosecution. We must allow the law to take its full course and not take the law into our own hands. “We are also encouraging the police to be more vigilant and act speedily when cases are reported, to honour the confidence of our people in the justice system of our country,” according to the statement.

Biobeheer-agente word ingespan om die onkruid se optog te stuit, maar dit is nog in vroeë ontwikkeling.

Jetty 3 se kiesers skuif
Ons bied versekering vir: Landbou Oesversekering Kommersieel Wildversekering Lugvaartversekering
Anders as met die nasionale verkiesing toe kiesers enige plek kon gestem het, mag ons met die munisipale verkiesing volgende jaar slegs in ons woongebied stem. Sodra die president die verkiesingsdatum aangekondig het, sluit die kiesersrolle. Tans het almal dus nog kans om seker te maak dat hulle korrek geregistreer is. Inwoners van Wyk 14: Katolieke kerksaal (voorheen Jetty 3) Premierpark, Aquapark, Tzangeni. Primary Schools Manorvlei, Politsi, Tsaneng en Driehoek onderskeidelik. Noordewenke, Thusanang en Vreedzaam is stemplekke vir daardie omgewings. Kiesers word dringend versoek om seker te maak of hulle wel op die korrekte kieserslys vir hulle woongebied is. Dit is maklik: stuur net ‘n sms met jou ID-nommer na 32810 en hulle sal ‘n boodskap stuur om aan te dui waar jy tans mag stem. As jy wel in Wyk 14 woon, maar nie by een van bogenoemde
plekke mag stem nie, moet jy gaan (her-)registreer. Jetty 3 se lys word outomaties na die Katolieke kerksaal oorgeplaas. Registrasie kan gedurende kantoorure by die OVK (IEC) op die grondvloer van die Ou Mutualgebou in Peacestraat gedoen word. Persone wat nie kan gaan nie, kan gerus raadslid Anza van Vuuren by 082 808 3204 skakel. Van 1 tot 8 Desember sal stempunte ook beman word, waar registrasies gedoen kan word. Slegs persone met ‘n groen strepieskode ID of ‘n ID-kaart of ‘n tydelike identifikasie dokument (TIC) mag registreer. Rybewyse geld nie. Kiesers moet dit persoonlik doen; dit neem nie veel langer as twee minute nie! Ten einde die bes moontlike dienslewering vir die munisipale belasting wat mens betaal te kry, is dit van wesenlike belang dat almal wat stemgeregtig is, in die komende verkiesing by die stembus opdaag.

Dié ongelukke hét plekke om te gebeur; hulle soek nou net die regte tyd Tzaneen se munisipale verkeerslui sal moet besluit of die veiligheid van motoriste en voetgangers in die dorp vir hulle hoegenaamd van belang is. Die dorp het verskeie ongelukke wat nie plekke om te gebeur soek nie, hulle wag net vir die regte tyd! Die kruising van Peace- en Danie Joubertstraat is een, die Laerskool Tzaneen se oplaaipunt in Hermanusstraat is een, die rylopers se samedrom-
mings voor die Sasol R71 en by die afrit na die Spur is twee, die ‘nuwe’ Claude Wheatleystraat op die Letabarivier se oewer is nog een... Waarskynlik die ergste voorbeeld van minagting van verkeersreëls is in Claude Wheatley, waar motoriste gedwing word om teen die verkeer te ry. Taxis het ‘n deel van die straat “oorgeneem” en ons word vertel dat die GTM se verkeershoof die ver-
keersgemors daar oogluikend toelaat. By die laerskool se oplaaipunt in Hermanusstraat word mens koud as jy sien wat daar aangaan, as die skool in die middae uitkom. Die rylopers langs die R71 raak al meer en meer onverskillig; en motoriste wat sonder waarskuwing op die ryvlak stop, gaan noodwendig op ‘n kol erge gevolge hê. Die foto links wys hoe verkeer in Claude Wheatleystraat ontwrig word, onder is foto’s wat by die laerskool geneem is en wys hoe kinders tussen motors deur vleg en oor die straat hardloop en regs is foto’s wat illustreer hoe die rylopers verkeer na albei kante op die R71 ontwrig. slui in • Gaan die verkeerslui die belang van veiligheid begin optree?

Homeward Bound off Route 71 Sixty Seven. That’s a big number, yet it is dwarfed in stature by the breath taking landscape that surrounds the almost surreal grounds of the Tzaneen Country Lodge, as it lays snuggled up against the banks of the Letaba River. A little more than a dozen kilometres outside the peaceful town of Tzaneen as you head towards neighbouring Gravelotte, you will find your sixty seven. Sixty seven cosy beds that lay waiting for your weary traveller’s head, on bended knee a peaceful rest to offer. Sixty seven rooms, individually furnished in a humble yet elegant fashion, with all the modern comforts to help ease the pains of a strenuous business day into the far off corners of your mind. Sightseeing, golf or any number of safari excursions will make you feel at home. Well presented, trained and friendly hotel staff awaits your every beck and call as you lazily enter the mystical realm of the Rain Queen. They’ve won awards Known hosts of many a large function, be it corporate or private, Adri Kruger and her dedicated team boast a proverbial trophy case of achievements, to add credentials to the exceptional service rumour that has spread throughout the province. Among their most notable accolades include a certificate of excellence from the international “go-to-guys” in the travel and leisure industry, TripAdvisor and the award-
ing of five Green Hearts from Lovetostay for their efforts to “protect and conserve the environment by implementing Recycling, Green Cleaning, Water Wise practices, Sustainable Energy acumen, Land rehabilitation and Conservation.” Genuine hospitality with stylish hotel rooms and relaxing pools in perfect harmony with the surrounding countryside speak straight to your soul. Beautifully landscaped gardens with surrounding indigenous forest lands embrace the relaxed Limpopo culture to fulfil their promise of a peaceful, tranquil escape. I hear they’ve expanded The 150 hectare privately owned farmland hugging the infrastructure of the Tzaneen Country Lodge has, over the course of fifteen years, seen tremendous growth with the addition of the Green Earth Spa, the Mangela Animal Farm, the spacious Conferencing facilities and an entire supplementary venue dedicated to the most spectacular wedding ceremonies this side of the Drakensberg. Adding to the already popular wedding venue is the new Firefly Lakeside bar which stands guard over the waterfront from its perch next to the dam. Culture, jubilee and entertainment has always been close to the hearts of the true Limpopo dwellers and for this reason, Tzaneen Country Lodge has renovated and expanded the truly impressive open-air waterfront auditorium which is now able to host bigger festivals such as the annual Gospel Festival. With the extra rooms in the hotel, they are now able to comfortably house up to 136 guests who will be spoilt for choice at the newly refurbished Rosa la Rouge cocktail bar. The bar also serves pub lunches in addition to the many signature mixes on offer. Possibly the most exciting addition to the Tzaneen Country Lodge’s service bouquet, is the Personalized Butler Service exclusively available to executive suite guests and bride’s on their wedding day. The renowned Earth Spa has also been
upgraded to offer six luxurious treatment rooms, all tended to by four dedicated therapists. The Earth Spa now also proudly houses the very first Vichy Shower in the region. A Vichy shower includes five to seven shower heads that are placed in a row over a cushioned table. During the treatment, a client lies on a cushioned table while water showers the body. Spas worldwide feature the shower in some of their most popular hydrotherapy (water) treatments. Why not get your hair done when you finish up at the Spa? Head over to the newly launched Hair by Hané salon which operates in conjunction with the spa.

Dit voel soos gister, toe afskeid geneem is van die gr 12’s by die Hoërskool Ben Vorster. En nou is dit alles verby. Die matrieks is op pad na die nuwe lewe wat op hulle wag; studeer, werk, reis, boer… Hulle het voor die eindeksamen begin het, vir oulaas by die skool se simboliese hekkie uitgestap, waar die onderwysers en leerlingsraadslede vir hulle dié erewag gevorm het.
MDDK vier fees

Die Woordkunsklub by die Hoërskool Merensky, genaamd “Wordworx”, het dit weer met ‘n puik publikasie reggekry. Topbydraes van klublede, wat ‘n goeie oorsig oor die jaar se aktiwiteite bied, verskyn hierin. Die klub vergader een maal per kwartaal,

Die instrukteurs verbonde aan die Hoërskool Merensky se MDDK (musiek-, dans-, drama- en kunsskool) het lekker saam met die skool se administratiewe personeel gekuier, om die jaar af te sluit. Die skoolhoof, mnr Magnus Steyn, was beïndruk met die feit dat die MDDK se getalle steeds groei en dat daar ‘n paar nuwe tutors in 2016 by die skool sal aansluit, ten einde ‘n nog meer dinamiese kunspakket beskikbaar te stel. Die pianis Ingrid Linde sal voortaan klavier en vioollesse sowel as musiekteorie aanbied. Oud-Plasie Genevieve Booyse is verantwoordelik vir ballet en Megan Henning sorg vir afrigting in kontemporêre én baldanse.

LINKS: Khanyisa RIkhotso (meisiesatleet van die jaar) en Naphy Mundluyi (seunsatleet van die jaar) is deur die Laerskool Duiwelskloof tydens hul jaarlikse prysuitdeling vereer. REGS: Die Laerskool Duiwelskloof se Sportmeisie van die jaar, mees uitstaande netbalspeler van die jaar en sommer ook die skool se veelsydigste leerling in 2015 is Lati Makoro; wat tydens die prysuitdeling behoorlik vereer is vir haar prestasies.
Die Laerskool Duiwelskloof het vier van die eerste span se spelers spesiaal vereer. Agter is Janco Coetzee (beste veldwerker) en Ruan Kruger (beste bouler), en voor is Ernst van der Schyff (beste kolwer) en Xander Roets (beste vordering).
Francois O’Connell is aangewys as die Laerskool Duiwelskloof se rugbyspeler van die jaar. Hy is tydens die skool se prysuitdeling vereer.
Oppie Kassie On the Telly Proteas en Pirates kan SA opkikker Die uitslae van ʼn kriekettoets in Indië en ʼn sokkerwedstryd in Tunisië sal grootliks bepaal in welke bui Suid-Afrikaners dié week afsluit. As die Proteas die derde wedstryd van die reeks teen Indië wen en Orlando Pirates klop Etoile du Sahel in die Konfederasiebeker-eindstryd sal sportliefhebbers weer ʼn slag bors uitstoot.

Unicorn Preparatory School’s u.11 Mad Dog cricket team enjoyed a strong season, progressing undefeated to the league final against Julian Muller Primary at Ooskool in Polokwane. Unicorn opted to bowl in the first innings and enjoyed a strong start — with Devon Coad and Hendrik Botes each taking one of the opening batsmen in
the first two overs. The next two batsmen, however, proved a stronger partnership and helped propel Unicorn’s opponents towards their final total of 223/7. This impressive total proved to be too much for the Mad Dogs on the day, and they were limited to 131/10. The Mad Dogs finally came second in the Limpopo medium schools cricket

to go
Mnr Ian van Heerden, rugby-afrigter van die Hoërskool Merensky, is die nuwe ondervoorsitter van die Limpopo Afrigtersvereniging. Hy is ‘n gelisensieerde World Rugby/IRB-opleier van afrigters en bied ook Boksmart-kursusse sedert 2012 aan. Hy is ook sedert 2011 ‘n provinsiale afrigter in skolerugby en verder tree hy ook as direkteur (afrigting en ontwikkeling) in die provinsiale taakspan vir SASCOC se departement sport op. Merensky speel weer van volgende jaar af in Limpopo se skolerugbyliga en Van Heerden sal beslis ‘n belangrike rol in hul hertoetrede tot die liga speel. Unicorn Preparatory School in Tzaneen is very proud of Reuben Middleton, who has been included in the Limpopo cycling team.
These two swimmers from Unicorn Preparatory School, Tayla Coad and Luca Wasley, were selected for the Limpopo swimming team.
Adios Amigos Word Oubal die afgelope week vanuit alle oorde beskuldig van onnooslikheid oor hy verlede week, op dieselfde dag dat Eddie Jones gekroon is as nuwe Engelse afrigter, hom voorgestel het as konsultant-afrigter vir die Bokke. Daar is ander goed waaroor Oubal ook van onnooslikheid beskuldig is, maar dit daar gelaat. ‘Tja, ter verdediging kan Oubal sê dat miljoenrand-huursoldaatafrigters die luuksheid het van nie hoef te voldoen aan spertye soos wat die geval is met hongerloon-rubriekskrywers nie. En rubriekskrywers het nie uitsluitingklousules in hul kontrakte wat hulle op die laaste nippertjie kan laat kop uittrek nie — hulle word doodeenvoudig van onbetroubaarheid beskuldig as hulle bal-onder-die-
arm oor die doodlyn hardloop! Hierdie week wil Oubal egter ‘n paar rakbiegeeste groet, en laat hy sommer by Eddie Jones begin. Dankie ou Ed, jy het kortstondig ‘n paar van Oubal se OWeePee! vriende so opgewonder gehad as wat hy hulle laas in die dae van Hempies du Toit, Carel du Plessis en die snare gesien het. En laat Oubal maar bieg, hy het self daarna uitgesien dat jy via die Stommerds ‘n varsbriesasem in ons rakbie blaas, wat hopelik sou deursuurdeeg na selfs die bankrot Kings toe. Maar gedane sake is dit. Oubal is bly jy kon vir twee weke na die bergie staar en dat die mistriestige Kaapse winters jou gespaar is. Oubal verstaan die ekstra ponde in ‘n man se sak maak die twaalfmaande Engelse winters meer draaglik, so geniet dit! In Oubal se prille jeug was vleuels klein, vinnige mannetjies wat die pad doellyn toe geken het. Manne soos Corra Dirksen, Syd Nomis, Jannie Engelbrecht en later Chester
Williams. Toe, in 1995, staan hy voor ons en herdefinieer vleuels — groot (baie groot!) en vinnig, en hy maak sy eie pad doellyn toe. Jonah Lomu. (Oubal dink hy sou eerder die walvis ingesluk het!) ‘Tja, maar Lomu was meer as groot, metafories gesproke. Hy was skielik die gesig van die begin van professionele rakbie na die ’95 WB. Presies wat rakbie op daardie punt nodig gehad het, en ‘n vaandel wat hy met waardigheid gedra het. ‘n Gevreesde, sagmoedige reus wat respek afgedwing het, al het sommige Engelse wat nie kon têkkel nie hom probeer wegwens. Nag, ou Ekstra Grote! In Oubal se jeug wás daar egter al groot senters, dog vaardiger as die meeste hedendaagse weergawes. Ironies genoeg, en half ongemerk te midde van die heengaan van Jonah Lomu, is John Gainsford op dieselfde dag oorlede. Oubal verwag nie dat baie van sy lesers hom sal onthou nie, maar hy wil hulle daaraan herinner dat voor die professionele era Gainsford die rekord gehou het vir die meeste toetse in ‘n Boktrui,
naamlik 33. Oubal kan julle ook meedeel dat die AB’s hom gevrees het, want met sy grootte, vaart en vernuf was hy ‘n verskrikking. G’n wonder nie dat die AB-legende Colin Meads in sy 1974-biografie vir Gainsford insluit in sy wêreldspan. Gainsford se eie biografie was getiteld “Nice Guys Come Second”, maar nogtans groet Oubal een van die regte “nice guys” van ‘n vergange era. Laastens groet Oubal twee ander reuse van ons rakbie, Bakkies Botha en Victor Matfield, na hul so-so vertoning vir die Barbarians verlede Saterdag. Menere, julle het julle deel gedoen, ons het groot waardering daarvoor. Oubal hoop regtig hierdie was die laaste keer dat julle julle laaste wedstryd gespeel het, en dat ons julle nie in 2019 weer sien nie! “Goodbye is the saddest song...” — John Edmond 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!
