‘Death’ Valley

Closed at last Reports and photos of the Georges Valley road crisis by Joe Dreyer

‘We are sitting on a ticking time bomb’ Scan the QR code and see the video on facebook.

The R528 through George’s Valley is oﬃcially closed to heavy vehicles as of Wednesday this week. Many vehicles were badly damaged this week after hitting a massive sinkhole. An inspection team determined the

road to be unsafe for use after discovering that the galvanised culvert beneath the road’s surface had lost “structural integrity”. What was believed to be a pothole has now oﬃcially been labelled a sinkhole. Motorists

are urged to use alternative routes when travelling. Visit our website for a video on the dangers of this section of the road and browse more images on the imminent collapse of the culvert.

the R528 was oﬃcially closed to heavy vehicles the day before, because of a life-threatening sink hole. It is reported that residents of Magoebaskloof removed the road

closure signs the night before and trucks were still using the route. “We were granted permission by Mr Victor Khumalo, the head of Provincial Traﬃc in Tzaneen to use our own

vehicles to block the road, as the truck drivers were paying no heed to the traﬃc oﬃcers stationed there,” said a member of the George’s Valley Residents Association. “It seems that now the situation has turned into a case of neighbourhood versus neighbourhood.”

Residents of George’s Valley took matters into their own hands on Thursday (yesterday) morning and blockaded the R528 with their personal vehicles. This was to prevent heavy vehicles from using the route between Tzaneen and Haenertsburg. The move followed after

Polokwane comes to Tzaneen

In the past cancer patients in the Tzaneen area not on medical aid, had to travel to Polokwane for chemotherapy. This has all changed and chemotherapy is now administered at the Tzaneen Care Centre at 36 Maritz Street. Heading up the chemotherapy division is dr Tumelo Moyaba from Polokwane. He administers chemotherapy every Monday between 09:00 and midday. During this time he also consults with patients who are too ill to receive chemotherapy. Moyaba, born in Musina, was the youngest person in the country to qualify as an oncologist at the age of 29 in 2014. He studied for his medical degree as well as his four-year oncology degree at the University of KwaZu-

lu-Natal. He trained at the fairly new and sophisticated Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital in Cato Manor, Durban. He opened his private practice in Polokwane at 64 Plein Street in 2015. He says: “Oncology is an ever changing field as there are always new advances in treatment. This is particularly so in the treatment of prostate and breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer. “Brachytherapy is now avail-

able for early stage prostate cancer. Men like to ignore things and also don’t like invasive examinations. That’s all a thing of the past with the advent of PSA screening for men. A recent treatment for patients with brain tumours, inaccessible by operation, is stereotactic radiotherapy.“ On the issue of diet Moyaba says, “Diet has gained prominence due to the fact that processed foods are considered a

cancer trigger. However there is no processed data as yet on this matter. What definitely does cause cancer is nicotine and certain viruses.” When asked about the contentious and as yet illegal issue of cannabis oil, Moyaba said: “There is not enough research on cannabis oil. However, terminal patients who are not on pills for pain take cannabis oil and it’s known to work. However, there’s still no hard evidence that it’s effective all round.” He added that “cancer is on the increase in South Africa and under reported as the focus is on AIDS”. “I reckon that in fifteen years time cancer will overtake AIDS,” he said. — Sue Ettmayr sue@bulletin.us.com

Slange is niemand se speelgoed nie natuurreservaat vrygelaat, terwyl ses deur honde doodgebyt is. Die honde het egter ook in die proses gevrek, omdat hulle deur die slange gepik is. Die wipneusslang word maklik verwar met die Mosambiekse spoegkobra, omdat hulle op ‘n afstand byna identies voorkom. Mense verwar ook die gespikkelde bosslang met ‘n boomslang, terwyl ‘n groot verskil tussen die twee bestaan. Sy raad aan almal is om nie met slange te peuter as hulle in en om die huis gewaar word nie. Ontbied ‘n slangkenner en hou die posisie van die slang fyn dop. As die slang uit die oog verdwyn, hou dit ook ‘n gevaar vir die slangkenner in. In Tzaneen is die swart mamba,

die Mosambiekse kobra, die wipneus, pofadder en boomslang die gevaarlikste. Die savanna voëlslang (twig snake) tel ook onder hulle. Minder gevaarlike soorte is die nagadder en die sypikslang, beter bekend as die Stiletto. Hulle is steeds giftig en moet nie eiehandig hanteer word nie. “Min mense besef dat slange verskillende temperamente het. Sommige gevaarlike slange sal toelaat dat hulle opgetel en gestreel word (beslis nie aan te beveel nie), terwyl ander op die vlug slaan of aggressief sal optree.” Volgens hom beplan die organisasie Limpopo Snake Removal ‘n rehabilitasiesentrum vir slange (slangpark) naby die Eiland in die Letsitele-omgewing. Dit is aan-

gevoor deur mnr Ben Schalkwyk van Modjadjiskloof en reeds in ‘n gevorderde stadium. Daar is egter nog sekere vereistes wat nagekom moet word, oor die grootte van hokke en ander regulasies. Slange wat daar gevestig word, sal na rehabilitasie weer in die natuur vrygelaat word om plek te maak vir nuwe “vangste”. Rees het onlangs ‘n uiters skaars slangsoort in Tzaneen aangekeer. Die slakvreter is ‘n nie-giftige soort en aan die meeste mense (en slangvangers) onbekend. Die slakvreter is nie losgelaat nie, maar na ‘n slangpark gestuur weens sy sonderlike voorkoms. Rees bestry peste en plae as ‘n besigheid, maar vang graag slange gratis weens sy liefde vir die natuur.

Rees is bereikbaar by 073 166 3651 — as daar ‘n seilende koue kalant in jou kamer sy kop uitsteek.

BLUEPRINT 581 BULLETIN/E

Slange is volop in en om Tzaneen, waar hulle weens die hitte en droogte al meer in die openbaar en in beboude gebiede verskyn. ‘n Erkende slangvanger van Tzaneen, mnr Raymond Rees van KillA-Bug, moes Woensdagmiddag juis bontstaan om ‘n luislang in ‘n boomtop in Deerpark aan te keer. Die jong boom is afgekap, maar die luislang het weggeglip na die volgende boom. Dit moes ook afgekap word, voor Rees die slang in die ruie gebied kon aankeer. Rees sê ‘n groot taak lê voor om mense (oud en jonk) oor slange in te lig, ter wille van veiligheid én die bewaring van slange. Hy het die afgelope tien dae op agt wipneusslange in beboude gebiede afgekom. Twee is gevang en in ‘n

‘Death’ Valley closed for heavy vehicles Fragments of a sump from a vehicle after it hit the sinkhole.

The side of the sinkhole showing massive cracks in the road.

The notorious R528 between Tzaneen and Haenertsburg added at least eight vehicles and a truck to its ever increasing tally this week — and finally authorities seem to be paying attention. In the 24 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday morning, a local towing service had their hands full with break downs as one after the other, motorists fell victim to one particular section of this road. Roughly 22 kilometres in the direction of Haenertsburg when travelling from Tzaneen the road spirals downhill into an S-bend with the final corner entering a sharp incline back to the top. There are no shoulders along this narrow section of the route and a sheer four metre drop hugs the road surface on either side. Motorists travelling in either direction

It is right here, in the middle of the already treacherous bend, where a dip the size of a regular family sedan has formed with no way of evading it without going off-road or hitting oncoming traﬃc. “This has now become ridiculous and the residents along George’s Valley are fed up with the lack of interest shown by Limpopo’s roads department to rectify the situation. People are going to die here and ‘sorry’ won’t console their grieving families,” said one angry member of the George’s Valley Residents Association (GVRA) at the scene. According to him, the problem lies with the heavy vehicle operators who use the R528 in order to evade the weighbridge at Mooketsi.

Die Boodskap

18 Maart 2016 Rev Ron Reiners Anglican Church

Probleem woed voort Is daar enige wil by die owerheid in Limpopo om te sorg dat die dood van ons provinsie se paaie gehou word? So het ons verlede week gevra, oor die krisis op die Georges Valley-roete. Vandag kan ons bevestig dat daar inderdaad nie erns by die owerheid is om die veiligheid van motoriste voorop te stel nie. ‘n Senior verkeersman het dié week in ‘n gesprek met ons op een van die gevaartonele vertel hoe rompslomp en die onbeholpenheid van die burokrasie veroorsaak dat die krisis nie dringende aandag geniet (het) nie. Intussen het die krisis Woensdagaand en gisteroggend ‘n nuwe dimensie gekry, toe inwoners van Magoebaskloof glo opstandig geraak het oor die sluiting van die GV-roete. Hulle smyt toe die gevaar vir motoriste op die GV-roete, onseremonieel, ongevoelig en onnadenkend by die agterdeur uit en verhinder die sluiting van die roete. Hul probleem? Hulle wil glo nie die gevaar na die Magoebaskloof-roete verplaas hê nie. Magoebaskloof is egter ‘n ander saak wat ewe geesdriftig en met oorgawe en erns met die owerheid uitgespook moet word. Maar so gaan dit mos maar; ons mense is lekker onbetrokke en is nie gepla as ‘n probleem ons nie direk raak nie. Sodra dit aan eie bas gevoel word, dan skrik ons wakker (en wil ons sonder die nodige perspektief sake [probeer] red).

What are we looking for in life?

• Justice, that all are treated fairly under the law. • Education for all, the building up of our nation to be true leaders. • Security, the ability to live our life in safety and not fear. • Unity, the coming together of all irrespective of race or creed. • Sustainability, enabling all to live and survive in this world.

Vandag kyk ons na die voorblad van die Bulletin van 12 Maart 2004. Die hoofnuus was die aankoms van dr Alex Revelas as die eerste ortopediese sjirurg wat hier kom vestig het. Die toe pas aangekondigde nuwe Wetsontwerp op Munisipale Belasting het die boerderygemeenskap op hul agterpote gehad en ander hoofnuus was ‘n aankondiging dat ‘n diamantring van R6 000 deur ‘n promosie van die Bulletin gewen kon word; asook ons aankondiging om maandeliks ‘n polisielid vir goeie diens te vereer.

So how does this all fit into our Christian lives here on earth? Taking the first letters of each statement we find the answer: JESUS, yes, He is the answer to all our strife and tribulations, but this needs faith, faith in someone we have never seen, yet believe is alive and lives with each of us. This is not an easy concept to grip, but then again we believe that tomorrow we will wake up. We have not seen tomorrow yet we believe. One may argue “How can God/Jesus be with all of us at the same time?” We forget that God is God and through Him all things are possible. A concept that needs faith and trust. Is this just an inbred ability that is in all of us? I believe so, but it needs work, we need to live our lives in hope, hope for the future, hope for love and most importantly hope that we are acceptable to Christ. Yet, we often forget, that God loved us first, that is why He created us. We are all different in makeup, male, female, different hues of colour, beliefs etc. Yet we are all one in God’s eyes, after all we were created in His image. But what is God’s image? If we cannot see Him how can we know what He looks like? Now this is where faith comes in, if we truly believe there is a God and we trust in Him, He will enable us to live in His image. God is a God of love and if we love one another as He loves us it becomes a lot simpler. Love drives the wheels of our existence, if we do not love ourselves how can we love someone else? Love is an expression of our true feelings for ourselves and for one another. Spreading this love takes time and effort and often we complain that we do not have enough time and if it is worth the effort. God sees how much we try and will always give us time, even in the busiest schedule of our lives. A smile, a thank you, can work wonders in someone’s lives. This is just a small way of showing our love for others, sharing in God’s love for us no matter how we have rejected His promises to us. So my message to you all is to follow in Christ’s footsteps and believe that through Him all things are possible. God Bless.

Supreme Court of Appeal finds SA’s conduct ‘disgraceful’ in Bashir case South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) on Tuesday accused the SA government of “disgraceful conduct” in allowing Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to leave the country, despite an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). Bashir was not arrested while attending an African Union summit in Johannesburg last year as the South African government claimed he had immunity as the head of a member state. When an emergency order was obtained from the High Court during the summit ordering Bashir’s arrest, government lawyers admitted he had ﬂown out of the country just a few hours earlier. The government subsequently filed a plea against the arrest order at the SCA. “The assurances that he was still in the country given to the (High) Court at the commencement and during the course of

argument were false,” the SCA judges said. “It was disgraceful conduct.” It was also unlawful The SCA ruled that the failure to arrest Bashir was unlawful and dismissed the government’s appeal. South Africa is a signatory of the Haguebased ICC, which wants Bashir arrested for alleged war crimes related to the conﬂict in the Darfur region of Sudan.

The South African Litigation Centre (SALC) hailed the court ruling, saying it meant Bashir must be arrested if he returned to South Africa. “The government should seek to uphold the rule of law instead of shielding suspected war criminals and the Supreme Court of Appeal has made this clear today,” SALC director Kaajal Ramjathan-Keogh said. The decision by South Africa not to arrest Bashir sparked international condemnation, which was met with a threat from Pretoria to withdraw its membership with the ICC. The Sudanese leader has evaded justice since his indictment in 2009 for alleged crimes in the Darfur conﬂict in which 300,000 people were killed and two million forced to ﬂee their homes. The South African government made no immediate announcement on whether it would appeal against Tuesday’s ruling.

Successful fundraiser held for Care Group The Tzaneen Care Group (TCG) is making a huge difference in taking care of the emotional and physical needs of terminally ill people and their immediate families. The Group held its first major fundraiser at Merensky High School on Friday evening.

Ms Nicolette Steel from Pretoria gave an inspirational and heartfelt talk on what it’s like caring for her terminally ill mother in her home as she battles cancer. The TCG’s chairlady, Ms Yasmeen Moosa, addressed the audience and thanked everyone for their moral and financial support with the opening of the Tzaneen Care Centre at 36 Maritz Street. Moosa stated that the twenty-odd volunteers are all qualified in some discipline. There are registered trained nurses, attorneys, social workers and others. The Cen-

tre also buys medical equipment, like hospital beds, that are loaned out to the community. Plans for the future will include free screening. The black and pink themed tables were bedecked with snacks from The Red Plate in Haenertsburg and owner, Ms Colleen Venter, used the TCG’s purple cancer logo on one of the desserts. Items were auctioned and lucky numbers received various prizes, including a stay and meal at the Coach House Hotel in Agatha and a treatment from the beauty salon Forever Radiant. All proceeds will go towards caring for the terminally ill in the Tzaneen community. — Sue Ettmayr sue@bulletin.us.com

Nuwe bemarkingsbestuurder vir die Vossies Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het Farmer’s Weekly se voormalige redakteur, me Alita van der Walt, opgeraap as bemarkingsbestuurder, nadat sy en haar gesin in Februarie na Tzaneen

verhuis het. Sy was die eerste vroulike redakteur van dié 105-jaar oue landboutydskrif. “Ons het lank gesoek na ‘n persoon wat aan ons verwag-

tings voldoen. Om iemand van Alita se kaliber te kon werf, is ‘n groot pluspunt vir die skool. Gehaltebemarking behels meer as om te loop en spog oor prestasies. Die Hoër-

skool Ben Vorster bied kinders die geleentheid om hul volle potensiaal te ontdek en uit te leef, met die ondersteuning van ‘n professionele en passievolle onderwysers- en

Gemeenskap dra die Vossies hy van die ongeluk verwittig is. “Oos- Moot het onmiddellik hulp aangebied en ons besluit om aan die sportdag te onttrek, heelhartig ondersteun, het Denysschen gesê. “Ons is baie dankbaar vir elke gebed en boodskap van ondersteuning wat ons ontvang het. Dit bewys hoe ‘n gemeenskap hul verskille opsy kan plaas en laer kan trek, wanneer een van hul lede in nood is.” Die ongeluk het op Saterdagoggend omstreeks 06:00 net na die Mookgopong-afrit in die rigting van Kranskop gebeur. Die Vossies se wintersportspanne was in vyf gehuurde Netshituni-busse en ander skoolbussies op pad Pretoria toe, om teen Oos-Moot se rugby-, netbal- en hokkiespanne kragte te meet. ‘n VW Polo het ‘n vragmotor verbygesteek op ‘n stuk van die pad waar padherstelwerk aan die gang was. Die Polo en die bus het

Boodskappe van ondersteuning stroom steeds in, na die busongeluk waarin die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se wintersport-spanne Vrydag betrokke was. Teen Maandagoggend was daar meer as 67 000 boodskappe op die skool se Facebook-blad. Nuus van die ongeluk het soos ‘n veldbrand op sosiale netwerke versprei, terwyl die skool ouers deurlopend ingelig het op die skool se Facebook-blad en via D6 School Communicator. “Die reaksie van die gemeenskap was oorweldigend,” sê sport-organiseerder André Hay. “Minute na die ongeluk is ons oorval deur skole wat busse wou stuur om ons gestrande kinders op te laai. Hulp is tot deur die Blou Bulle en die Valke se onderskeie rugby-unies aangebied.” Skoolhoof Chris Denysschen was reeds by Oos-Moot, die skool waarheen die Vossies op pad was, toe

reg van voor gebots. Die insittendes van die Polo is op slag dood. Van die leerlinge het slegs ligte beserings opgedoen. Netshituni Coaches het ‘n bus van Thohoyandou gestuur, om die gestrande leerlinge op te laai. Die sportbyeenkoms is afgestel en al die busse het omgedraai terug na Tzaneen. By hul aankoms is die getraumatiseerde leerlinge deur ‘n dokter en predikante ingewag, wat die kinders ligaamlik en geestelik versorg het. “Ons is ons Hemelse Vader innig dankbaar dat geen kind ernstig beseer is nie,” het Denysschen gesê. “Dit was ‘n groot skok vir die betrokke kinders en ons harte gaan uit na die familie van die afgestorwe insittendes van die Polo. Enige kind of ouer wat berading of meer inligting benodig, moet die skool asseblief kontak”’

afrigterskorps. “Alita gaan die Vossies help om ook op bemarkingsvlak hierdie gehaltetoewyding en professionaliteit te handhaaf,” sê skoolhoof Chris Denysschen.

WonderWoorde woeker Die Hoërskool Merensky se kreatiewe skrywers het onlangs hul eerste byeenkoms vir 2016 gehou. Soos in die verlede, beoog die groep om nie alleen meer van die skryfkuns te leer nie, maar ook om ‘n spogpublikasie die lig te laat sien — waarin ‘n keur van hul pennevrug sal verskyn. ‘n Eerste keuringsopdrag is tydens die eerste byeenkoms van die jaar bespreek en

voorgelees. Die skrywers moes ook advertensies vir bepaalde produkte skryf en sinne met allitererende klanke bou. Die groep sien uit na die volgende byeenkoms, wanneer ‘n poësie-opdrag die fokuspunt sal wees. Hier is Anize Basson, Elzette van Dyk, Fumo Chabalala, Laryn Prins en Michaela Viljoen tydens die byeenkoms met ‘n bespreking besig. Jade Barnatt was afwesig.

GLM mayor City Modjadji, Sadmon Maano Malaka, Rathaga Primary Headmaster ,GLM counsellors and Rathaga beneficiaries

Twenty underprivileged pupils from Rathaga Primary school in Bodupe Village, Bolodedu, were overjoyed when they received brand new school uniforms from Sadmon Projects and Consulting and the Greater Letaba Municipality. Teachers and parents heaped praise upon the highly esteemed Sadmon and the GLM for the generosity and for bettering the life of the needy pupils. The recipients of the uniforms could barely contain their excitement and are relieved that they can now proudly attend school wearing their uniforms. The Mayor of Greater Letaba Municipality, Mr Godfrey City Modjadji, reiterated the dire need to properly dress, educate and empower the children. “We are grateful because Sadmon came to our aid by

Brave Agatha man fought six intruders to protect his family Super brave and concerned Mr Greg Wilson of Agatha fought man alone against six intruders during a farm attack early Monday morning. The safety of his family was the only thing he could think of, and that gave him almost supernatural power to stand up against the six men. According to reports the incident occurred just after 05:00 when Greg heard a noise at the kitchen door. He went to investigate and found one man attempting to enter their home. He wrestled the man to the ground, but the suspect managed to escape leaving behind a pistol and a few other items on the lawn. Greg and his wife, Sandy, were standing in the kitchen a few moments later, contemplating the event, when a man entered the kitchen door wielding a pistol. “We had called for help and were busy discussing what happened when suddenly a hand holding a gun appeared through the

door. I screamed and ran to the kids’ room, where I locked myself in with them,” recalled Sandy. “Greg stayed in the kitchen to confront the intruder. There were a few loud bangs and glass shattering on the other end of the house as our glass door shattered. I heard loud scuffling and men shouting at each other. I knew then that there were more of them. They wanted guns and the keys to the security gate that was protecting me and our children from them. “The men asked my husband if we had guns in the house. He said no and asked them if they wanted the tv and other electronics instead. At this point I heard some more scuffling and loud conversation. When it was quiet and I could hear that they were gone, I came out of the room and saw that Greg was in need of medical attention so we rushed off to hospital.” Greg had been hit over the head with a rock by one of the suspects

during the skirmish, but had not lost consciousness. He was treated later that morning at Mediclinic Tzaneen and at the time of talking to Bulletin, Greg and Sandy were underway back home. Members of Northern Security responded to the call and met with SAPS patrol units who accompanied them to the Wilson household. Upon their arrival on the scene they did a search of the surroundings as it was believed that the suspects may have been in the vicinity. The search continued and a few hours later a private helicopter had joined the Politsi SAPS K-9 unit in the search. At roughly 14:00 that afternoon the search was called off and at the time of going to print, the suspects were still at large. “We won’t be staying there for a while. We just don’t think it’s safe and we are all still pretty shocked at what happened.” — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

donating school uniforms to the needy pupils. As the government we can’t allow a pupil not going to school due to the fact that he/she lacks a school uniform,” said Modjadi. Emelina Monyepao (73), the grandmother of Mahlatse Monyepao who is in Gr 4, said she was extremely happy for what the donor has done. “If it wasn’t for his good heart I would have had to use my social grant money to buy a uniform for my grandson, as her mother is sick and unemployed,” said Monyepao. – Phidelia Rikhotso phidelia@bulletin.us.com

SAPS reach out to needy pupils

Fofoza Primary school which was named after the father of Hosi Nwamitwa I I, Hosi Fofoza Nwamitwa I, received school uniforms comprising of tunics, trousers, school shirts, school socks and shoes from the SA Police Services on Monday. The initiative to reach out to the needy pupils of Fofoza was launched by Const Jessica Makhubele, who saw a need when she came across a pupil from Fofoza. The pupil’s shoes were literally falling apart. “I am extremely happy for having received such a great turn out from certain donors and the Police’s provincial commissioner,” said Makhubele. The headmaster of the school, Ms Phakhula, acknowledged the presence of the dignitaries. “We are thankful to receive such an honour. Today 67 pupils received complete school uniforms. SAPS, you’ve made us proud,” said Phakula. Mr T Baloyi, a member of the school’s governing body, said he was impressed and greatful for what SAPS did to help. This wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for Const Jessica. The handing over ceremony was attended by Limpopo MEC for Transport, Safety, Security

and Liaison, Ms Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana, Hosi Nwa’mitwa II, chief of the Valoyi tribe, Gen Henkins, Maj Gen Mathebula (retired) and other SAPS members and members of the public.

Tooley, a Rhodes uniT A ZW RE versity graduate, togethT AK A E L A RIVE R R er with husband Rob and adult children, Luca, Rebecca and Lulu, always makes one feel welcome One of the reasons for the meteoric success of Mina’s is the Tooley family’s attitude towards customers and their striving for excellence in whatever they do.

Mina’s is an event offering very special cuisine in the Haenertsburg area as well as craft beer, wine and live laid back music. The stalls start on the stoep of a large farmhouse. Inside it’s just one aroma after another and one delicious stall after another preparing food. Outside are long trestle tables with benches that can seat some 200 people. There are logs for sitting, a kiddies’ playground with sandpit nearby and all of this under huge, old oak trees with a view that ‘skriks for niks’. To get to Mina’s turn off onto the Cheerio Road outside Haenertsburg, and head along a 7 km well sign-posted dirt road. The farm lies on the banks of the Broederstroom and is home to the Tooley family. Mina’s is held the first Sunday of March, June, September and December. Last Sunday was a perfect sunny day. Some of the food stalls were the Red Plate with fresh dishes from the lakes and gardens; the Pot & Plow

Fresh trout from the Red Plate.

Some twenty years ago Ms Tooley ran the successful restaurant Greenwood’s in the village. At the time she was pregnant with Lulu, yet her multi-tasking abilities let her carry off all of it with aplomb. Mina’s is definitely a Sunday to ring in red on your calendar. The good music from Steve Howells and his friends, the food, the drink and the cool people made this a pleasant Sunday to look forward to repeating every three months. — Sue Ettmayr

Wik Triathlon This past week-end saw the fourth annual running of the Pansolutions Wik Triathlon at Stanford Lake College. The kind weather ensured that hundreds of spectators and athletes turned out to enjoy the wonderful scenery. The 420 competitors tackled the hazardous routes, with the recent rains meaning that there was plenty of mud around for the cyclists and runners. This hugely successful event continues to grow year on year and it is a wonderful showcase of SLC.

Oppie Kassie On the Telly

Hou, senuwees, hou — dis SA teen Engeland Miskien is ŉ rybewystoets erger, maar Vrydag se krieket tussen Suid-Afrika en Engeland sal self derduisende mense se senuwees tot breekpunt toe laat span. Die spanne speel in Moembai in die T20-wêreldtoernooi in ŉ kragmeting wat moontlik die hoogtepunt van die naweek se sportdekking op televisie sal wees. Aan opwinding en spanning sal daar ook geen tekort wees wanneer die Stormers en die Brumbies mekaar in ŉ Superrugby-wedstryd op Nuweland bydam nie. Dit geld ook die plaaslike onderonsies tussen die Bulls en die Sharks en die Lions en die Cheetas. Die manne vir wie die reuk van petrol onweerstaanbaar is, sal seker maak hulle loop nie die regstreekse uitsendings van die Australiese Grand Prix en die motorfietswedrenne in Katar mis nie. Atletiek, gholf en tennis in die Verenigde State en Hekkie Budler se boksgeveg teen Byron Rojas sal na verwagting ook deur skouspelagtige aksie gekenmerk word.

ASA: Vossies dring deur na volgende ronde… Nege atlete

van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het Saterdag aan die ASA-byeenkoms in die Peter Mokaba-stadion in Polokwane meegeding en goed gepresteer. Die volgende uitslae is behaal: Meisies: Jolandi van der Merwe (1ste in spiesgooi), Lara Schutte (1ste in die 400 m), Carmen Botha (1ste in die 100 m- én 400 m-hekkies. Seuns: Johan Harms (1ste in spiesgooi, 4de in die 100 m), Sean Roulston (3de in die 100

m, 200 m en 100 m-hekkies), Emile Kruger (1ste in spiesgooi), Tristin du Preez (3de in spiesgooi), Gustav Prinsloo (4de in spiesgooi) en Ogielvy Ngobeni (2de in die 100 m-uitdun). Die Vossies wag nou om te sien wie vir die ASA-SA kampioenskappe gaan kwalifiseer. Die nege atlete is hier (voor): Sean Roulston, Carmen Botha en Emile Kruger. Agter is Johan Harms, Lara Schutte, Gustav Prinsloo, Jolandi van der Merwe en Tristin du Preez, en Ogielvy Ngobeni was afwesig toe die foto geneem is.

Food stalls, a beer tent and a great atmosphere at the venue of the Mountain Yacht Club on the Ebenezer Dam in Haenertsburg will ensure that the outing will be something to enjoy.

Plasie-karatekas presteer

Plasie Sensasie… Vier atlete van die Hoërskool Merensky het Sondag aan die Wik-driekampkompetisie by Stanford Lake College deelgeneem. Na aanleiding van die oorlye van Wik van der Walt in 2012 tydens ‘n bergfietswedren, wou die personeel van SLC die lewe van hul kollega en vriend herdenk, deur die jaarlikse driekampkompetisie aan te bied. Jenelle de Jonge (swem 500 m), Janco Coetzee (hardloop 5 km) en Christelle Coetzer (fietsry 15 km) het as “Plasie Sensasie” deelgeneem en eerste van die gemengde spanne (o.19) geëindig. Sheldon Muller het as individu deelgeneem. Hier is Jenelle, Janco en Christelle.

Janco Coetzee van Le’Club en Bevan Muller, albei leerlinge van die Hoërskool Merensky, het Saterdag aan die Munnik Meerkat Bergfietswedren van 12 km deelgeneem. Janco (links) was die algehele wenner en Bevan (regs) was derde.

Drie Merensky-leerlinge het onlangs aan Limpopo se karatekampioenskappe in Polokwane deelgeneem. Al drie het goed gepresteer. Sivaughn Cronjé (gr 12) het gekwalifiseer vir haar geel gordel en ook twee goue medaljes in Kata en Kumite ingepalm. Lize-Ri Snyman (gr 9) het gekwalifiseer vir ‘n bruin gordel en het ook twee goue medaljes in onderskeidelik Kata en Kumite verower. Pierre Horn (gr 9) het ‘n goue medalje in Kata en silwer in Kumite gewen en ook vir ‘n bruin gordel gekwalifiseer. Die driestuks is lede van die Hoedspruit Tigers.

Plasie-tennisafrigter beste in die land… Al-

Twee Plasie-atlete na SA’s…

Die Hoërskool Merensky is trots op Laurentia van Dyk en Christelle Coetzer, twee o.15-meisieatlete wat Saterdag aan die kwalifiserende ronde vir die SA atletiekkampioenskappe deelgeneem het. By die byeenkoms in die Peter Mokaba-stadion in Polokwane het hulle albei gekwalifiseer om tydens die komende vakansie in Germiston aan die SA kampioenskappe deel te neem. Christelle het twee eerste plekke in die 800 m en 1500 m behaal. Laurentia was tweede in gewigstoot. Op die foto is Christelle en Laurentia.

Geel kaart vir fout-berig

The Duiwelskloof Club Singles Champions for 2016: Rosemary Atherstone and Zane Fanie.

Ampie Greyling

Zane Fanie

New bowls champs for Duiwelskloof crowned The Duiwelskloof Bowls Club singles finals — the Ladies’ & Men’s Open, Men’s Handicap and Novices Finals — were fought out bvy the club’s best players over the past weekend. Zane Fanie won both the Handicap Singles and the Open Singles for 2016, with Johan Benade ending up as runner-up.

Sommige lesers wou ons ge-rooikaart het. Sommige het ‘n geel kaart gevra en sommige sou tevrede gewees het met ‘n strafskop. Maar dit was hoogstens ‘n vryskop werd. Die beriggie saam met ‘n foto in verlede week se Bulletin oor die Hoërskool Merensky se besoek aan Loftus en die wedstryd wat hulle daar teen die span van die HTS Pretoria gespeel en gewen het, het ‘n liederlike fout bevat. Maar dit was byna soos Saterdag se Sharks-drie van Cobus Reinach wat toe nie ‘n drie was nie en wat gelei het tot ‘n strafdrie teen die Stormers en die geel kaart wat Siya Kolisi gekry het. Dit was vir baie mense ‘n onbedoelde en ongelukkige fout wat nie so swaar gestraf

moes word nie, vir ander was dit ‘n moedswillige stukkie ontoelaatbare spel. ‘n “Professional foul,” het mens as ‘t ware gesê. In die Merensky-berig is gesê dat die HTS Pretoria se span die Beeld Trofee drie keer agtereenvolgens gewen het. Dit is nie so nie; nie eens naastenby nie. Dit is ook nie duidelik hoe, waar en wanneer dié “professional foul” ingesluip het nie. Ons het nie die berig behoorlik nagegaan nie, die skool se rugby-ghoeroe wat die berig uit ‘n medewerker se pen ontvang het, het ook nie en… siedaar, die kroon beland toe op die verkeerde hoof! Hiermee word die fout reggestel en dit is weer “time on” en die spel gaan voort!

Rosemary Atherstone is this year’s Ladies Singles champion and defending champion Di de Wet ended as the runner-up. In the Novices competition, Ampie Greyling took the Cup against runner up Martin Bensch. • The Men’s Singles Plate competition between Gullis Gouws & Leon de Wet will take place on a later date.

The pride of Stanford Zane Fanie and runner-up Johan Benade.

Rosemary Atherstone and Di de Wet.

We’ve added an extra sport page... see page 14 for more. Oubal moet ruiterlik erken dat hy laas in die laat sewentiger- en vroeë tagtigerjare van die vorige eeu ernstig tennis gekyk het. Dis nie dat Oubal nie van tennis hou nie, maar die voorste spelers het mettertyd net te vaal en eendimensioneel na Oubal se sin geraak. ‘Tja, waar is die dae toe John McEnroe, Ilie Nastase, Jimmy Connors en dié snare ons met hulle manewales op die baan vermaak het — manewales wat dikwels min met tennis te doen gehad het, maar besonder baie kleur aan die spel gegee het. “Love fifteen.” “What? The ball was in!” “The ball was out, Mr McEnroe, love fifteen.” “It was in!” [Breek raket op baan.] “Abuse of court, love thirty!” En dan het die Superbrat voortgegaan om die wedstryd op ‘n drafstap te wen, oor hy sy opponent so verbouereer het dat die vergeet het hoe om te speel. “Gamesmanship” wat ou Sean Fitzpatrick na ‘n amateur laat lyk het — ons het hom so gehaat dat ons eintlik lief geword het vir hom! Die feit dat ons destyds darem self twee van die wêreld se voorste spelers in Johan Kriek en Kevin Curren gehad het, al het hulle Amerikaanse burgers geword, het tenniskyk nog meer kykbaar gemaak, om nie te praat van vrouespelers soos Evonne Goolagong en Chriss Evert nie! Maar toe ver-

Stanford Lake College bestowed special colours upon a number of their top achievers in the fields of culture and athletics. The three top candidates (who have also qualified for the ASA championships) are: Lia Revelas for: Ben Vorster Night Race — Best junior track athlete, Independent Schools Athletics — Junior Victrix Ludorum and Small Schools Athletics — Junior Vic-

Sharap, Maria! dwyn hierdie karakters en vaalseuns soos Pete Sampras neem oor en tennis word vir Oubal onkykbaar vervelig. Oubal het wel verneem dat daar onlangs spelers op die toneel verskyn het wat meer kykbaar as ander is, maar die gogga het nooit weer gebyt nie. Een so ‘n kykbare speler is glo ‘n Russiese dametjie genaamd Maria Sharapova, van wie Oubal die afgelope week bewus geword het, maar wie hy onwaarskynlik die kans sal kry om te sien speel. ‘Tja, Me Sharapova is om die verkeerde redes in die nuus. Positief getoets vir die onlangs verbode prestasie-bevorderende middel meldonium. Nie dat Oubal veel weet van verbode middels nie, maar hy moet bieg hy het nog nooit voorheen van meldonium gehoor nie. Dit blyk nou dis ‘n middel wat feitlik net in Oos-Europese lande gebruik word vir die behandeling van vernoude hartslagare.

Mfumo Mongwe: Ben Vorster Night Race — Best senior track athlete and Senior Victor Ludorum; also qualified for the ASA Nationals.

Sedert begin Januarie is vyftien sportmanne en -vroue wêreldwyd positief getoets vir die middel, waarvan ‘n volle nege Russe is, Sharapova inkluis. Dit maak Oubal ietwat bekommerd oor Russiese sportmanne, want dit smaak hom hulle speel met hul lewens om met sulke siek harte sport mededingend te beoefen! Maar al protesteer die mooie Me Sharapova hoe hard dat sy nie bewus was van die verbod op meldonium nie, sal min mense haar glo. Die aantal Russe betrokke vertel alreeds ‘n storie en die ander ongemaklike waarheid is dat die Russiese atletiekfederasie verlede jaar deur die IAAF geskors is, weens hul slap houding oor die gebruik van verbode middels. Dit is gevolglik onwaarskynlik dat hul atlete later vanjaar aan die Olimpiese Spele gaan deelneem. Vir Oubal is Maria Sharapova ‘n simptoom van wat verkeerd is met verskeie sportsoorte op vele vlakke, in vele lande, en selfs in vele skole — ek sal aanhou kroek om ‘n voordeel te verkry, in die hoop dat ek nie uitgevang word nie en as ek uitgevang word, pleit ek bewusteloosheid. Siek! “A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes wth his freedom.” — Bob Dylan
