The lies, the truth & the Letaba Hospital
What really happened between September 2014, when the psychiatric ward at the Letaba Hospital was gutted by a devastating fire, and January 2016? We decided to investigate further,

That R89 000 water bill. Here is how you can avoid the pain Alec Hogg, the publisher of Biznews, a daily business e-mail political/financial “newspaper”, lives in Johannesburg. He was recently confronted with a water bill for R89 000 for one month’s consumption. His experience resulted in a lively social media debate, with many people telling of similar unacceptable high accounts. In recent weeks quite a big number of Tzaneen residents have reported problems with water and electricity accounts. We thought it would be helpful to take note of Hogg’s good advice after his experience. We have edited some irrelevant (to Tzaneen) detail in the report. • Credit: Alec Hogg & Biznews
The story of my R89 000 water bill hit a nerve among members of the Biznews community. Dozens of them, judging by the flood of emails from people who had similar experiences, experts in fixing these issues, quite a few politicians and even a fellow journalist who has some great advice. I was particularly impressed to receive an email from the Joburg Ombudsman literally minutes after Thursday’s newsletter started hitting inboxes. As this is obviously an issue that affects many, some of the replies have been shared under the newsletter posting and are supplementing this with the rather detailed response, published below, from a professional. – Alec Hogg
Hugo Venter of Municipal Account Rectifiers tells... I read your article on the problem with your water account. We are Account Consultants (mainly for the City of Johannesburg) and can give you the following guidelines: 1. You are, as a standard rule, liable for the water running through your meter. It is therefore imperative that, if there is a leak, that you address it as soon as possible. 2. When you are confronted with a high bill for water usage after a meter change, you must do the following: • Determine the date of the water meter change. • Take the account before the meter change and look at the following: Look at the water meter number and the reading. Check if the meter was billed on estimate or on actual readings. If it is on actual reading, you know that that account had a fixed end reading. If the account is on estimated readings, you must realise that the meter was not recording consumption, or was inaccessible. A provision must then be made for the actual reading (when they uncovered it) or estimated readings (based on daily average consumption) for the period that the meter stood still. 3. The best way to determine what the closure readings were on the old meter, the date of removal and the reason for removal, is to request a job card of the meter change. 4. It must be remembered that leaks occur when meters are replaced. This is because pipes

become brittle. Over time and, with the meter which may be rusted onto the pipes, the push and pull of the pipes may create leaks. Owners of properties should, especially after meter changes are done, check that there are no leaks. 5. One may have the perception that technicians/contractors, when they install a new meter, would check that there is no leak. Unfortunately, they do not do it. Even if a water connection on an empty warehouse is connected, they will leave the premises even if taps are open. They also do not favour the owner with a copy of the job card, nor a letter of information and warning to check for leaks. If there is a leak due to their meter change, then they must carry part of the loss. 6. The next question relates to leaks. I have
the following procedure: When everybody left, go to the meter and, when there should be no water consumption, see if the meter is running. If it is, then there is a leak. Take a photo. After an hour, take a
further photo. If the meter moved, then you know that there is a leak. Regarding the meter: Check if the meter number is correct on the statement. Check also the reading. Take daily readings — morning and evening to build up a use profile. Then, if the meter does not run, take a 20 litre can. Take a proper reading. Fill it up five times to use 100 litres. If the fourth red dial moved more than 1 notch and the last 3 dials are not the same as they were before you started to draw water, you know that the meter must be tested. 7. The Council has a Constitutional obligation to keep proper records. Part of it is that they must bill you on the correct meter. They must load the change of meter on your statement within a reasonable time. I had a pensioner who never knew that her water meter was replaced. A year and a half later she received an account for R85 000. If she received a statement three months after the meter change, and saw that the usage spiralled, she would have repaired the leak. 8. A last word of advice. When your plumber repairs the leak, ask him to take photos of the pipe and the connections where the leak was. If it is a galvanised pipe with a hole in, then you must deal with the account. If the pipes are removed from each other, and there was no previous history of high usage, then you must deal therewith with a firmer stance.

Brave young boy saves family The heroic actions of a 13-year-old boy ensured the safety of his family during an armed robbery on a plot outside Tzaneen earlier this week. The incident occurred at the Hasivuna plots near Morokolotsi along the old Lydenburg road. Ms Tilla van Hansen was returning home with her children and arrived on their property at 17:40. They had stopped outside the entrance at their water tank as per their daily routine. “We do this every day; my son climbs up to the top of the water tank to check the levels so that we know whether to turn the pump on or not,” she told us. On this afternoon, as young Fanie reached the top of the tank he noticed five suspicious men crouching behind the family caravan in the distance. “Mommy, drive and don’t stop!” he shouted. But by the time Tilla registered what was happening, the men had
already run up to her vehicle. One of them pointed a gun at her head and demanded she and her daughter exit the vehicle. Fanie jumped off the water tank and ran through the veld to the nearest neighbour. The suspects ransacked the vehicle taking with them cell phones, a handbag and the keys to family property, including the safe, before running off. Within minutes neighbours and security officers were on the scene. “I thank God that my son had the peace of mind to stay calm and call for help. It was because of his alarm that the men decided to run away, as they knew that help was coming.” Fanie had made it to their neighbour who alerted authorities and rushed to assist the Van Hansens. “In our eyes, our son is a true hero. If he had not reacted the way he did, things could have taken a turn for the worst.” According to security officers, there were five
suspects; three were armed with handguns and one with a panga. The suspects had attacked one of the workers earlier that afternoon, tied him up and locked him inside the caravan. This is the second attack on the Van Hansen family in the last month. In February one of their workers was seriously injured when assailants hacked him with a panga, while the family were at work. He is currently recovering from his wounds. According to a source, it is believed that the modus operandi of the attackers might link them to an earlier attack on a family at the Letaba Estates. Investigations are continuing. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com • In line with our policy not to publish any material that could put people in danger, Bulletin will not publish photos of the Van Hansens, and most certainly not of young Fanie — Editor

Malumadag floreer in reënweer
Glimlagte van blydskap was Woensdagoggend volop by die Hoërskool Merensky, waar meer as drie honderd boere en ander rolvertolkers in die landbou die vierde Malumadag in stortreën bygewoon het. Dit was die regte inspuiting vir ‘n reeks voorleggings oor die SA-ontwikkelde avokadovariëteit Maluma, wat in ‘n stampvol skoolsaal aangebied is. Maluma-saailinge beslaan reeds ‘n kwart van alle avo-soorte in SA en die verwagting is dat dit binne twee jaar die helfte van aanplantings in die produserende streke sal uitmaak. Die avo is wêreldbekend en sy gewildheid neem steeds toe by produsente, produktemarkte en uitvoerders. Die Malumadag word jaarliks gereël en aangebied deur Allesbeste Boerdery van Tza-

The lies, the truth & the Letaba Hospital
What is the truth about the renovations at the Letaba Hospital of the psychiatric ward that was gutted by a fire eighteen months ago? This has become the one million dollar question. The male psychiatric ward was left severely damaged when it caught fire on 29 September 2014. In a press statement issued by the health department after the fire, “a quick programme of action to fix the hospital in a short space of time” was mentioned. The damage was then estimated to be R4 million. However, a number of obvious untruths about the situation were presented by officials since the incident in 2014. First lie: In January we followed up on the progress with the restoration, with the department of health. The former spokesperson of the department, Mr Marks Lesufi, then told us that the male psychiatric ward had been fixed and the psychiatric patients were back in their ward. He refuted allegations of
general patients being mixed with psychiat- ed over in two months time”, and “during the ric patients. renovation at least three contractors which Second lie: Last month the department of were hired to do the job were terminated due to poor performance”. He added that the latest contractor was only appointed to do the work in December 2015. We published this exclusive report on the front page of the Bulletin of 19 February. Since we did not feel comfortable with some of the answers we got, we decided to continue with further investigations. Now we have discovered the following: On 24 October 2014 the department of public works advertised a tender for “renovation and alterations of the existing psychiatric ward and administration, various external work and covered parking at Letaba Hospital”. According to the Limpopo Provincial Tender Bulletin dated 08 May 2015 the R24 million tender bid was awarded to Nkomaba and Bila JV. When we paid another visit to Letaba Hospital earlier this week, Nkomaba and Bila JV was indeed found to health’s spokesperson, Mr Derrick Kganyago, be the main contractor on the site. A sub-consaid “the new psychiatric ward will be hand- tractor hired by Nkomaba and Bila JV resumed
work last week and workers were busy working on the roof of the psychiatric ward (Ward 7). One of the workers said “the job has to be finished as soon as possible”. The question thus arises: Who were the socalled other “three contractors who had to be fired due to poor performance”? The questions remain, though: Why did the spokespersons for the department of health lie about the restoration of Ward 7, and why is there confusion and/or a cover-up about the renovations in progress at a regional hospital that is of critical importance to the Mopani region? The existing Ward 7 which is being renovated has the capacity to accommodate both male and female psychiatric patients in separate sections. — Phidelia Rikhotso: phidelia@bulletin.us.com
Horror accident kills ten, injures 54 Another tragic accident on the notorious George’s Valley road left ten people dead and more than fifty others injured on Sunday afternoon. Among the dead was an 11-month-old baby. This was after a Great North Transport passenger bus overturned on its way from Moria to Tzaneen. Traffic was backed up for more than three hours on Sunday
afternoon, as traffic officials cordoned off the road in both directions between Tzaneen and Haenertsburg. Witnesses reported around twenty emergency services vehicles rushing to and from the scene as the injured were taken to local hospitals. The circumstances causing the accident are not clear, but it is believed that the driver lost control over the vehicle causing it to land on its side. SAPS Provincial spokesperson, Col Ronel Otto, confirmed that a case of culpable homicide is being investigated. On Monday, Limpopo Transport MEC Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana announced on national radio that she would be suspending the operations of Great North Transport pending an enquiry
into the safety of the company’s vehicles. She expressed concern over the four reported accidents thus far this year involving this company’s buses. However, the spokesperson for the Department of Transport Public Safety and Liaison, Ms Kagiso Mootane, disputed the statements by the MEC stating that the services of Great North Transport could not simply be suspended. “There were allegations that the bus involved in the weekend’s accident was not roadworthy. We have tasked a team of investigators to visit the compound of Great North Transport and examine the wreckage. That same team will also inspect other buses in the Great North fleet and if any are found to not be roadworthy, the company will be issued with a hefty fine,” she said. Since the accident, Bulletin has attempted, in vain, to gain clarity from the Department of Public Works and the Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) on plans to address the decaying state of the George’s Valley road. “We will be meeting with the various departments including the traffic department to improve both the conditions of the George’s Valley road and law enforcement along that route,” added Mootane. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Die Boodskap
11 Maart 2016 Dr Jan Truter Ned Herv Kerk Letsitele
Is daar enige wil? Is daar enige wil by die owerheid in Limpopo om te sorg dat die dood van ons provinsie se paaie gehou word? Die afgelope naweek se gru-ongeluk in Georges Valley — wat elf lewens geëis en ‘n klomp mense met ernstige beserings gelaat het — het verkeerslui, vervoeramptenare van die provinsiale regering en die publiek weer hard aan die praat. Ongelukkig het die afgelope klompie jare bewys dat dit maar by praat bly. By die padagentskap (RAL) word daar van die een bestuurskrisis na die volgende geslinger; die departement van vervoer bly in gebreke om die bul by die horings te pak en die verkeersveiligheidagentskap kom nie verder as allerlei mooi planne en voornemens nie. Verkeersbeheer in Georges Valley en Magoebaskloof is bitter skaars. Die ou verbod op die gebruik van dié bergroetes deur swaarvoertuie, het soos so baie ander dinge in ons land ‘n stille dood gesterf. Die weegbrug wat teen groot koste by Mooketsi gebou is om daardie roete vir swaarvoertuigverkeer tussen Polokwane en Tzaneen verpligtend te maak, is ‘n wit olifant. So word van verkeersveiligheid ‘n blufspel gemaak. Die regering se kamtige kommer oor hul onderdane se veiligheid is niks meer as hol woorde nie. Moenie ‘n sinvolle oplossing vir die probleem verwag nie...

Vlieg hoog
Vandag kyk ons na die voorblad van die Bulletin van 6 Maart 2004. Die nuwe reeks verhoogde plaaslone was toe pas aangekondig en boere in die omgewing het vertel hoe dit hul loonrekenings opjaag. ‘n Groot inval van Kommandowurms wat alles voor die voet opgevreet het, was ook voorbladnuus. Me Adri Kruger van die Tzaneen Country Lodge is aangekondig as Tzaneen se eie Magaret Thatcher, vir die wyse waarop sy vir die bevordering van toerisme in die omgewing baklei (het).
Hierdie twee manne het direk of indirek almal op aarde se lewe op een ander manier beïnvloed. Hulle het nie in die lugvaartbedryf gewerk nie, hulle was fietswinkeleienaars wat fietse herstel het. Hul stokperdjie was om voëls wat vlieg dop te hou en die voëls in vlug te teken. Op ‘n dag het die een broer na die ander broer gedraai en gesê: “Ek dink dit is moontlik vir ‘n mens om die tegnieke wat voëls gebruik om te vlieg, na te boots en ook te kan vlieg.” As jy al ooit gevlieg het, sê dankie aan die twee manne want hulle het geglo om die onmoontlike moontlik te maak. Hul name: Orville en Wilbur Wright. Die eerste mense op aarde wat dit reggekry het om ‘n vliegtuig te bou en te vlieg. Wat baie interessant is van die twee broers is dat: • Hulle geen universiteitsopleiding gehad het nie. • Geen tegniese opleiding gehad nie. • Geen ondervinding in die lugvaartbedryf gehad het nie. • Geen vriende in belangrike posisies gehad het nie. • Geen finansiële ondersteuning geniet het nie. • Geen regeringshulp gehad het nie. • Hulle baie min geld gehad het. Dit het hulle egter nie teruggehou nie. Al wat hulle gehad het was hul wil om te bly glo in die krag, om die onmoontlike moontlik te maak. Ons lewe in tye waar ons gedurig hoor: “Wat mense nie gehad het in die verlede nie. Ek het nie ontvang nie. Mense word voorgetrek. Ek het nie dieselfde geleenthede gehad nie.” Miskien is dit regtig nodig dat ons ‘n ander visie kry op alles! Om op te hou om myself met ander te vergelyk en wat ek nie gehad het nie, maar eerder te begin konsentreer op wat ek het en die onmoontlike moontlik te maak met wat ek het. Die Wright-broers kon dit insien en hulle het ‘n ongelooflike verskil in mense se lewens gemaak. Die Bybel het wonderlike voorskrifte hieroor in Galasiërs 6:4 – 5: “Laat elkeen sy eie doen en late ondersoek: as dit goed is, kan hy daarop trots wees sonder om dit met dié van ander te vergelyk. Elkeen sal rekenskap moet gee oor wat hy gedoen het.”
Wat die volk regtig dink... Hoe tevrede is Suid-Afrikaners met die prestasie van die huidige regering? Good Governance Africa (GGA) het in die lig van die opkomende plaaslike verkiesings vir MarkData, ʼn navorsinsmaatskappy, opdrag gegee om ʼn nasionaal verteenwoordigende opname te doen oor burgers se persepsies van die land se regering. Terugvoering uit die opname laat duidelik blyk: Suid-Afrikaners is besig om vertroue in hul regering te verloor. Minder as 15% van die deelnemers staan simpatiek teenoor die huidige regering sover dit gaan oor toerekenbaarheid, bekwaamheid, dienslewering, wet en orde en werkverskaffing. Dit is baie veelseggend, veral gegewe die feit dat 62% van dié wat in die jongste verkiesing gestem het, die huidige regering gesteun het. Nagenoeg 60% van die respondente het saamgestem dat “mense besig is om hoop te verloor dat die regering na hulle sal luister”. Die mees positiewe terugvoer oor die regering was ten opsigte van pensioene en sosiale toelae, waar laasgenoemde ʼn positiewe beoordeling van 61.2% verkry het. Onder swart respondente was dit selfs hoër: 76.6%. Agt uit tien mense het aangedui dat hulle
die regering — en nie ander faktore nie — blameer vir die toestand van die ekonomie. Ongeveer 46% van die respondente het die regering negatief beoordeel vir gesondheid, teenoor 31% wat dit positief beoordeel het. Vir opvoeding het die regering 36% goedkeuring gekry teenoor 44% afkeur. Wat onrusbarend is, is dat wet en orde 57% negatief en 17% positief beoordeel is. Dit is ook ontstellend dat net minder as die helfte van die respondente (48%) glo dat die regering demokratiese vryhede (van spraak, die media, geloof, vergadering en die reg op ʼn regverdige verhoor) respekteer. In die algemeen toon die opname dat die regering die vertroue van die volk verloor het en dat die onus nou by die volk rus om die regering tot verantwoording te roep om ons demokrasie weer gesond te maak. Die GGA het ook betrokke geraak by voorpunt-navorsing oor munisipaliteite in Suid-Afrika, ten einde inligting te voorsien oor dienslewering, administrasie en ekonomiese ontwikkeling. Plaaslike en metropolitaanse munisipaliteite word beoordeel deur die gebruik van vyftien aanwysers oor drie sleutelareas: dienslewering, administrasie en
Good Governance Africa is ʼn geregistreerde Pan-Afrikaanse nie-winsgewende organisasie. Deur die benutting van die nuutste tegnologie en tendensanalise, gereelde publikasies en voorbrandwerk poog hulle om staatsbestuur oor vyf sleutelareas te verbeter: Plaaslike regering • Natuurlike hulpbronne • Nasionale veiligheid • Kinderontwikkeling en jeugvorming • Etiese waardes en spiritualiteit ekonomiese ontwikkeling. Die munisipaliteit wat die beste presteer is Swellendam in die Wes-Kaap, wat gelei word deur ʼn koalisie tussen die Demokratiese Alliansie en die Christelik Demokratiese Party. Uit die toptwintig munisipaliteite is vyfien in die Wes-Kaap, waarvan agt deur die DA, vier deur die ANC en die ander deur koalisies gelei word. Die munisipaliteit wat die swakste presteer, is Mbizana in die OosKaap. Uit die twintig munisipaliteite wat die laagste beoordeel word, is twaalf in die Oos-Kaap, ses in KwaZulu-Natal en een in Limpopo en Noordwes onderskeidelik. Die hooffaktore wat prestasie beïnvloed sluit elektrisiteit, vullisverwydering, individuele maandelikse inkomste, water en sanitasie in. Wanneer regeringsprestasie as ʼn geheel in ag geneem word, is die opmerklikste dat die munisipaliteite wat die slegste funksioneer in die voormalige tuislande is. ʼn Mens sou verwag dat hierdie areas geprioritiseer sou word in die nuwe demokrasie.

Mnr Marius Jacobs van Northern Security/Watchdog in Tzaneen sê hy hoop van harte die nuwe hoof van die polisie se stedelike sektor, kapt Thinus Erasmus, het reeds kennis van die toestand geneem, sodat dit so spoedig moontlik veiliger gemaak kan word.

Stanford’s Gr 9’s walk “In the footsteps of Louis Trichardt”
The group at the Louis Trichardt Memorial.
A group of 45 Gr 9 pupils from Stanford Lake College in Magoebaskloof embarked on their first expedition for the year. This consisted of 3½ days of hiking, starting at Sekororo and finishing in Penge, taking the route followed by Louis Trichardt in 1838 by ox wagon. The group trekked through some of the most beautiful and interesting locations South Africa has to offer, including the Christmas plateau and the vicinity of the sites where people still to this day are digging to try and find the elusive Kruger millions — believed to have been buried before his exile. Reaching Penge — and of course, the shop! — the pupils readied themselves for an
eventful rafting experience on the Olifants River. The water level was very low this year, but they still faced some testing rapids and experienced the full force of nature. It was indeed a truly amazing expedition which none of them will forget, with many memories made along the way. — Neil Haarhoff

Uitstalling vir gr 12’s gehou
Die jaarlikse beroepsuitstalling vir gr 12-leerlinge van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster is onlangs weer aangebied. Vanjaar het 32 hoëronderwysinstellings die skool besoek. Die uitstalling was weereens goud werd, omdat dit soveel geleenthede tot verdere studie aan die kinders bekendstel. Die leerlinge wat reeds seker oor hul studies Gr 9-leerlinge wat ook die beroepsuitstalling kon besoek het, stap hier tussen die uitstallings rond. vir volgende jaar is, het finaal seker gemaak
van die aansoekproses — terwyl leerlinge wat nog twyfel, weer die verskillende moontlikhede in oënskou kon neem. Die gr 9’s het ook met die oog op vakkeuses later vanjaar, die geleentheid gekry om hulle te vergewis van die verskeidenheid studierigtings. Meer inligting oor die gr 11-beroepsuitstalling in September vanjaar sal later volg.
A group of six Stanford Lake College Gr 9’s accompanied the Round Square representative, Ms Amy Taylor, and the Service Director, Ms Karlien van Eyssen, to a regional conference of member schools. The conference was held at Roedean School, Johannesburg. One of the participants, Lara Dando, wrote this report on the conference : Integrity, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service are the six ideals of the Round Square organisation. We were privileged enough to stay in a very nice hotel
tional Court Mr Justice Cameron as well as others. Over this one weekend we learnt so many things that taught us the six ideals. It was an amazing experience. I honestly wish that I could turn back time and do it all over again. I have become closer to my friends, as well as made new friends that I will never forget. My eyes have been opened to a world of different cultures and religions. One of the main lessons we learnt was that you don’t have to be wealthy or famous to make a difference.

SLC pupils attend Round Square conference and on our first night we had the opportunity to watch “Singing in the Rain” at Monte Casino. Over the weekend we did many activities that opened our eyes to show us just how privileged we really are. We went to a township just outside Johannesburg and spent the day there at a crèche, and we visited the Apartheid Museum where we learnt a lot about our history and how we got to where we are. The Round Square pupils were lucky enough to hear many speeches by extraordinary people like Mr Sisulu and Constitu-

Mopani ANCYL chairperson suspended The ANC Youth League (ANCYL) in Mopani Region has suspended its chairperson, Mr Hasani Peter Ngobeni. According to the Mopani ANCYL spokesperson, Mr Tshepo Ratlou, chairman Ngobeni was suspended for misrepresenting the youth league through social media and for disrupting certain meetings. “He is subjected to a disciplinary process,” Ratlou told Bulletin.
He said Odas Ngobeni, who was the deputy chairperson, has now taken the hot seat as the acting chairperson in the region, until further notice. Allegations by ANC insiders claim Ngobeni will face sixteen charges, including theft and for accommodation for a private guest/friend at Folang Manor for the league’s account. – Phidelia Rikhotso phidelia@bulletin.us.com

In memoriam - Susan de Jager
Die nuwe Panarottis Pizza & Pasta Restaurant in Tzaneen het uiteindelik die afgelope naweek geopen. Inwoners wag al sedert die einde van verlede jaar ongeduldig op die opening van nog ‘n gesinsrestaurant in die dorp. Enkele tandekryprobleempies is oor die naweek uitgestryk en die restaurant is nou ten volle aan die gang. Die speelplek vir kinders is reeds baie gewild. Hier is me Mariska Vermeulen (die bestuurder), mnr Sipho Mogane (kombuisbestuurder) en me Germinah Maponya (tweede-inbevel van die kombuis). Die restaurant is sewe dae per week oop.

Two employees arrested at Letaba Hospital Two employees attached to Letaba Hospital were arrested on Friday last week, following an incident of theft at the facility. The suspects were found in possession of various items belonging to the hospital. The department of health would like to send a stern warning to employees who have any intentions to involve themselves in criminal activities throughout all facilities. It is our hope that the South Africa Police Services (SAPS) will get to the bottom of this matter so as to rid the department of any criminal elements, said the department’s spokesperson, Mr Derick Kganyago. Members of the community are encouraged to report any suspected crime to their nearest Police Stations or tip off the department through the MEC’s Hotline on 0800 91 91 91.

Water kan/gaan nog oorlog laat woed Deur Elsie Degenaar van Absolutely Water Die volgende oorlog oor internasionale grense heen gaan dalk oor water wees — skoon water. Ons moet almal ons deel bydra om besoedeling te beperk. Laat die ou flitsbatterye, gloeilampe, rekenaaronderdele en inkkassette by die winkels wat stortinghouers het vir sulke goed.
Laat die mense wat met motorolie, verf en medisyne werk, jou ou voorraad ook op die regte manier weggooi. As al die produkte waarvan die leeftyd verstryk het en plastiekbottels, babadoeke, ensovoorts, op rommelhope beland, breek die produkte af na lood, hormone en hormoonnabootsers, radio-aktiwiteit en baie ander gevaarlike verbindings tussen stowwe vind plaas. Al die gevaarlike stowwe gaan na damme, riviere en ondergrondse water. Dit is gevaarlik vir mense, veral vir jong kinders. Ons moet dus almal ons kant bring om die aarde te beskerm. Ek kan die RO-watersuiweraar aanbeveel. Dit is die beste, gevorderdste tegnologie waar jy gesuiwerde water in jou kraan kry en al die onsuiwerhede uit jou water verwyder word. Die water is helder en proe suiwer. Kies uit ‘n wye reeks produkte en ons koppel dit
aan jou suiweraar vir jou warm en koue water. Om sediment uit water te haal, het ons 10”- en 20”- filters. Die Mega Char maak die hele huis se water vry van sediment, chloor en onorganiese stowwe. Verhuuropsies is beskikbaar. Voorraad is altyd beskikbaar. Ander produkte soos waterversagters, produkte wat die Ph regstel en yster verwyder, is ook beskikbaar. Groter suiweraars vir industriële benodighede en pakhuise is eweneens beskikbaar. Skakel gerus vir Elsie by 083 458 4746 en Danna by 083 560 8636. Ons help graag. This high quality double O-ring purifier comes with a manual flush which prolongs the life of the RO membrane. The RO101SV Reverse Osmosis purifier is
Superior Plus 5 Stage Booster Purifier [RO101SV]
one of the finest units in its class. It has a powder coated aluminium back plate with stainless steel screws to make it totally rust-free. This unit produces 290 litres
per day, depending on inlet water TDS and quality. The high quality booster pump provides sufficient water pressure to make purification efficient and fast.

Hockey starts on a high note Jappie Makhubele, Paballo Legodi, Elandri J v Rensburg, Maynard Kleynhans en Rea Modiba.
Larries laat waai...
Merensky High School started their official hockey season on home ground on Saturday against Piet Potgieter High School from Mokopane. A huge crowd supported the Plasie rugby, netball and girls hockey teams. The girls hockey teams started their season on a high note. The u.14A team lost their game 2-1, with Leoné Slabbert named as player of the match. The u.15A team gave the audience a glimpse of what they can expect from Plasie hockey this season, by winning their game 2-0, with Jenelle de Jonge and Lourencia van Dyk scoring the goals. Lianca Pieterse was named player of the match. The u.16A team lost 1-0 (player of the match: Johanne Mouton)
and the 2nd team’s game ended in a tie, 1-1 (player of the match: Hayley Stephenson). Merensky’s flag ship 1st team was a source of great joy when they ended triumphantly with a score of 3-1. Xané du Toit and Lilly Pohl (player of the match) scored 1 and 2 goals respectively. In the photo herewith are the girls of the first hockey team. In front are Jenna Devenish, Delean O’Niel, Lilly Pohl, Bianca Elbrecht, Pat Madalane, Klariska Venter and Michelle Stevens, and (back) Chantel Mashwangane, Corli van der merwe, Xané du Toit, Gwendy Botha, Amelia Middelton, Mrs. Nadia Last (coach), Altacia Gubitz and Elzaan Engelbrecht.
Netbal-meisies kraai koning teen Jeugland
Johan van den Heever, ‘n leerling van die Laerskool Tzaneen, was tweede in die Makhulu Fietsren in Polokwane. Hy het deelgeneem in die Nipper- (o.12) afdeling. Hy het die 16 km in 42 minute voltooi.
Die afgelope naweek het die Vossies se wintersport behoorlik afgeskop, met die eerste netbalwedstryd teen die Hoërskool Jeugland. Ten spyte van die vroeg opstaan, ver pad en uitputtende son het die Vossies hulle baie goed van hul taak gekwyt. Die volledige uitslae was: o.14A verloor 14-8; o.14B verloor 19-12; o.15A wen 17-13; o.15B wen 16-6; o.16A wen 29-2; o.16B speel gelykop 12 elk; o.17A wen 28-6; o.17B verloor 18-16. Die eerste span het die Vossies se naam hoog gehou en met ‘n briljante telling van 47-14 gewen. Saterdag se spel was ‘n goeie voorbeeld van spanspel en vininge hanteerwerk. Camilla Phakula was ‘n doring in haar opponent se vlees, met haar verdediging; en Carmen Botha het behoorlik die doele ingeryg.
Verskeie atlete van die Laerskool Tzaneen het goeie gepresteer by die Limpopo Atletiekkampioenskappe. Die presteerders is: Onder 10: Megan-Lee Mans: 1ste gewigstoot; Mohau Makgoba: 3de hekkies; Matimba Mtebule: 3de hoogspring; Carlo Moller: 5de gewigstoot; Christopher J van Vuuren: 6de gewigstoot. Onder 11: Elandri J van Rensburg: 3de gewigstoot: Lané Kasselman: 8ste 70 m hekkies. Onder 12: Paballo Legodi: 1ste 100 m en 150 m (Limpopo-rekord); Maynard Kleynhans: 2de 150 m hekkies; Nachandré de Lange: 7de 75 m hekkies.
Dié spannetjie atlete van die Laerskool Tzaneen het medaljes by die Limpopo Atletiekkampioenskappe verower. Hulle is Shane Mushwana, Ndzalama Twala, Paballo Legodi, Mohau Makgoba, Maynard Kleynhans, Matimba Mtebule, Jappie Makhubele, Elandri J van Rensburg, Rea Modiba en Anja Maree.
Vossie-hokkie kom in rat Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se hokkiespanne het Saterdag die 2016-seisoen teen baie sterk mededinging deur die Hoërskool Jeugland in Kemptonpark geopen. Die Vossies het nooit opgehou om teen die sterk opposisie te veg nie. Die volledige uitslae was: Meisies: o.14-A verloor 1-0; o.14-B verloor 1-0; o.15-A verloor 5-0; o.15-B verloor 1-0; o.16-A gelyk 0-0; o.16-B wen 2-1; 2de span
Street soccer fever hits Limpopo Few things are regarded as truly South African as soccer. More specifically street soccer, or “Raga Bolo” as it is named in the townships. As T20 is to cricket, so too is Raga Bolo to soccer. It is a five-a-side, high-paced soccer game played on a much smaller playing field, with the road and streetlamps as your stadium. Each game consists of two, ten-minute halves with a two minute resting period in between. Each team has a goalkeeper and four field players. In 2011 a national tournament was launched which saw taverns and liquor outlets in townships and rural areas across the country enter their own five-man squads into an official championship tournament. Communities nationwide followed the action with
Onder 13: Shane Mushwana: 1ste 200 m hekkies; Rea Modiba: 1ste 80 m hekkies en 5de hoogspring: Jappie Makhubele: 2de 200 m en 3de 100 m: Ndzalama Twala: 2de verspring en 3de 200 m hekkies; Anja Maree: 3de gewigstoot en 4de skyfwerp; Salomé Lombard: 6de skyfwerp; Fanie van Hansen: 8ste skyfwerp. Die Larries verwerf toe ook veertien medaljes: vyf goud, drie silwer en ses brons. Die volgende atlete is opgeneem in Limpopo se span wat aan die SA Kampioenskappe in Port Elizabeth gaan deelneem (10 tot 12 Maart).
wen 2-0 en 1ste span gelykop 0-0. Seuns: o.14-A gelykop 1 elk; 1ste span wen 1-0. Die seuns se eerste span het goeie hokkie gespeel en in die tweede helfte die wendoel aangeteken (deur Heinrich van Staden). Die meisies se eerste span het baie aanvallende hokkie gespeel en was die sterker span op die veld. Hulle kon egter nie afrond in die sirkel nie en die wedstryd het onbeslis met geen doel wat aangeteken kon word nie, geëindig.
games being played in neighbourhoods everywhere. This year the tournament is back, and as the official kick-off games were played in Polokwane last weekend, it is sure to provide bountiful excitement to soccer-lovers across the province. The games started in February this year and will culminate in the finals in June 2016. The teams compete on a log system with points awarded for wins, draws and losses. A total of 136 teams have qualified and entered this year’s tournament, so be sure to watch the press for game dates and venues and treat yourself and your family to a weekend of exciting sporting action. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Lions durf kampioen op sy tuisveld aan Die Lions, wat skielik ondersteuners het op plekke waarvandaan hulle voorheen selde lof gekry het, word dié naweek aan een van die strafste toetse in Superrugby onderwerp. ʼn Paar uur voordat die Stormers en die Sharks Saterdag op Nuweland aanmekaarspring, speel die Lions in Dunedin teen die Highlanders. ʼn Oorwinning, of ten minste ʼn blink vertoning teen die kampioenspan, sal vir die aansien van SA rugby baie werd wees. Ná agt drieë in wegwedstryde teen die Sunwolves en die Chiefs het die Johannesburgers gewis ʼn wenkans teen die tuisspan, wat een van sy eerste twee wedstryde verloor en die ander een met een punt gewen het. Engeland en Wallis se wedstryd in die Sesnasiereeks kan dalk die hoogtepunt van die naweek se rugby op televisie wees, maar die emosies sal ewe hoog loop wanneer die Stormers en die Sharks mekaar bydam. Krieket se groot kanonne is nog nie vir die T20-wêreldtoernooi in Indië gelaai nie, maar die kleingeweer-skote klap al dié naweek, wanneer ses wedstryde uitgesaai word.

Plasies shine at Loftus clashes
Merensky’s first rugby team was invited to the Blue Bulls Prestige Rugby Day at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Thursday. The boys experienced true rugby tradition in Blue Bull style when they enjoyed a tour of the stadium. Afterwards they described the visit to the Bulls’ cloak room as the highlight of the tour. The boys also rubbed shoulders with players of the Superugby team who act-
ed as chaperones. The Plasie team stood their ground against Pretoria Technical High School (20-20), who actually won the Beeld Trophy for three years running. Seen here are (front) Pieter van Rooyen, Jannes Kirsten, Ettienn Labbert, Travies Ismail, Roelof Smit, Almo Julies, Quiniso Madzhiga, Armand Steyn, Noko Malatji, Kevin van der Bergh, Reinard Strydom, Henkus

Two Interns at Stanford Lake College, Mr Wessel Ludick (second from the left) and Miss Nita-Mari Nel (right next to Ludick), successfully completed a grueling lifesaving course in Polokwane. The course consisted of theory and class time, but mostly of practical lifesaving skills in the pool. Both Wessel and Nita proved to be very capable lifeguards
and are now affiliated lifeguards. They will be putting their new skills to practice next weekend at ‘The Wik’ Offroad Triathlon, as well as the Ebenezer Mile the following weekend. • Maybe they could assist the GTM so that the new R17 million swimming bath in Tzaneen can be opened to the residents of the town before the winter? — Editor
Die Vossies spring parmantig weg Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se rugbyseisoen het die afgelope naweek op ‘n hoë noot afgeskop. Die eerste span het Donderdag op Loftus Versfeld teen Potchefstroom Gimnasium gespeel en Saterdag het al die spanne teen Jeugland van Kemptonpark te staan gekom. Vir die eerstes was dit ‘n groot eer om op Loftus rugby te speel, met oud-Vossie Trevor Nyakane wat saam met die span beweeg en hulle aangemoedig het. Die Vossies het die jaar
flink begin, deur die span wat hulle verlede jaar in die Beeldtrofee se halfeindstryd uitgeskakel het, met ‘n telling van 30-10 te wen. Slegs 48 uur later het die eerstes hul tweede wedstryd vir die jaar met seer en moeë lywe teen Jeugland gespeel. Hulle het uitstekende rugby gespeel en met 57-0 gewen. Die Vossies se tweede en derde spanne het gewys dat daar diepte in Vossieland is en hulle het ook gemaklik teen Jeugland gewen. Die tweede span het met
Waansinnige Geleerdheid Waar Oubal grootgeword het was geleerdheid nie groot nie — in der mate dat Oubal se oorlede ou moeder dikwels gesê het geleerdheid dryf ‘n mens tot waansin. Dit is nie iets waarop Oubal besonder trots is nie, maar hy is nogtans innig dankbaar vir dié eenvoudige wysheid. Geleerdheid na Oubal se welbekende onbeskeie opinie is nie as sulks sleg nie, mits die skoenmaker hom by sy lees hou. Vat nou maar ‘n man soos Prof Tim Noakes wat sy naam gemaak het as ‘n sportwetenskaplike. Toe Prof Noakes destyds in ‘n windtonnel gaan bewys het dat die naaswenner van die Tour de France eintlik die wenner kon gewees het as dit nie was vir die windweerstand van sy poniestert nie, was dit ‘n prysenswaardige stukkie wetenskap. ‘Tja, maar toe Prof Noakes vir ‘n mammie aanbeveel dat sy haar pasgebore baba spek en eiers moet voer (of iets in dier voege), sonder dat hy ‘n diëetkundige of ‘n kinderarts is,
60-0 en die derde span het met 57-0 gewen. Die Vossies se junior spanne het strawwer teenstand en gemengde welslae gehad. Die o.16A-span het ‘n klipharde wedstryd gespeel en verdien ‘n klop op die skouer deur met 29-15 te kon wen. Die o.16B-span het die meeste punte van die dag aangeteken en Jeugland met ‘n telling van 64–0 behoorlik oorrompel. Die o.15-groep het swaar getrek en albei spanne het hul wedstryde verloor. Die A-span
het die skoenmaker op die verkeerde lees begin hamer. Pleks Prof Noakes het vir ons gaan uitwerk hoekom Willie Morris minstens twee wydlopers in elke boulbeurt afstuur, of hoekom Rosco Speckman met twee hoogvat-strafdrieë ‘n wedstryd pasella aan die Aussies oorhandig, of hoekom Bjorn Basson drie drieë in ‘n wedstryd kan druk, maar nie twee laagvatte kan uitvoer nie, dan was die sportwêreld ‘n beter plek en hy nie in die moeilikheid nie! Dis egter nie oor Prof Noakes waaroor Oubal wil praat nie, maar eerder oor laagvatte/duikslae/têkkels en geleerde mense. So lees Oubal verlede week dat ‘n groep van 74 dokters en doktore in Engeland ‘n ope brief aan regeringsowerhede gerig het waarin hulle ‘n versoek rig dat duikslae in skolerakbie verbied moet word. Die rede? Kinders kan seerkry as hulle geduik word. Vertel ons iets wat ons nie weet nie. Maar, sê hulle, die regering het ‘n plig om kinders te beskerm teen seerkry. “Nanny state”, enigiemand? Met die eerste oogopslag het dit Oubal egter nie te veel gepla nie, want enigiets wat Engeland ‘n nog groter agterstand op die rakbieveld gee, pas so reg in sy kraal. Het hulle nie
het met 21-12 verloor, terwyl die B-span met 25-5 die onderspit moes delf. Die o.14A-span het teen ‘n groot span van Jeugland te staan gekom. Die jong Buffeltjies was kort voor die einde 17-5 agter, maar hulle het puik karakter gewys en na ‘n reusepoging nog twee driëe gedruk. Die eindtelling was 17 elk. Die o.14B’s het moedig probeer, maar met 27-5 verloor. Die Vossies speel more in Pretoria teen die Hoërskool Oos-Moot.
juis verlede jaar die vernedering gesmaak dat hulle met hul eie aanbieding van die WB in die groepfase uitgeskakel is nie? So, “the more the merrier”, soos hulle self sê! Oubal is egter verbaas dat die hoogsgeleerdes, as hulle dan so besorg is, nie ook ander aktiwiteite waarin kinders kan seerkry wil verbied nie. Oubal dink aan dinge soos skaatsplank ry, foefieslaaids, boomklim, fietsry, kwadbaaiks of selfs om jou Jack Russell vir ‘n wandeling te neem (soos wat Quinton de Kock onlangs uitgevind het). En dan praat Oubal nie eens van in ‘n kar klim sodat jou ma jou by die skool kan gaan aflaai, of klein kinders wat toegelaat word om op die voorste sitplek te staan nie. Oubal is redelik seker as jy een van die plaaslike kwakke vra, sal hy vir jou sê hy sien meer ernstige beserings onder kinders weens genoemde aktiwiteite as van rakbie. Maar dis juis een van die probleme met die ope brief. So ver Oubal kon vasstel is sleg ‘n baie klein persentasie van die brief se ondertekenaars dokters; die res is sosioloë, sielkundiges en psigiaters — sosiale aktiviste wie se opinies Oubal sedert die dae van ou Sigmund Freud maar met ‘n knippie sout vat!
