‘n Vlammetjie van hoop flikker weer in die Letaba-distrik vir die koms van die beplande Nwamitwa-dam, wat reeds dertig jaar gelede in die vooruitsig gestel is. Grondeienaars in die gebied waar die dam beoog word, het kennis gekry vir toegang van spanne wat gate moet boor vir grondmonsters om te bepaal watter klip, sand en grond gebruik kan word as fondament vir die damwal en die res van die ontwikkeling. Die dam sal sy beslag kry by die samevloeiing van die Nwanezirivier en die Groot Letabarivier, waar dit oor ‘n gebied van 1 400 vierkante km sal strek. Mnr Louis van Rooyen, belas met watersake in Letaba, het gesê die beplanning is weer op dreef om die damprojek gestalte te gee. Die landbougemeenskap het reeds in 1983

It will be replaced with concrete box culverts on a solid concrete foundation. Following that, we will begin to reconstruct the road service above it,” he said. The contract period is set for three months, although Mashiane estimates that they should complete the project a little before the deadline. “This is not merely an issue of filling a pothole, it is quite a big job and there are many other factors to take into consideration, such as the curing period for the concrete foundation and the mammoth task of clearing the shrubbery to construct the service route.” At the time of going to print the Roads Agency Limpopo spokesperson, Moses Malungane, was not reachable for comment. The project is scheduled to start on Monday morning 11 April, but Moshiane is eager to begin work before then. “I am hoping to start as early as Friday morning so that we can get the project underway. I believe that the people of this area have waited long enough already and we want to make this as painless a process as we possibly can.”

daarvoor gevra, maar dit het bly sloer. Nou het die departement van water en sanitasie tot einde Oktober grasie om sekere take as deel van die omgewingsimpakstudie af te handel, ten einde ekologiese goedkeuring vir die bou van die dam te behou. Twintig jaar gelede was die geraamde koste van die projek sowat R490 miljoen, wat infrastruktuur en die verlegging van die R529-pad tussen Letsitele en Phalaborwa sou insluit. In 2008 was die geraamde koste R1,5 miljard en die verwagting is dat die syfer in 2017 aansienlik hoër sal wees. Dit is ‘n vyfjaarprojek en met ‘n bergingsvermoë van 144 miljoen kubieke meter sal die Nwamitwadam ‘n tamaai invloed hê op die verskaffing van water aan die oostelike deel van Limpopo.

Reaping the benefits of agricultural insurance in South Africa The agricultural industry is among South Africa’s key sectors; the industry accounts for 6%1 of employment and contributes 2.5%2 directly to the country’s GDP, and as much as 15% to 20%3 indirectly. In a country where almost half the population does not have regular access to food4, the sector is becoming increasingly important and the pressure to grow is that much more. The National Development Plan (NDP) acknowledges the potential of the agricultural industry, aiming for the sector to create a million jobs by 2030. Despite a number of very real challenges currently impacting agriculture in South Africa, insurance can assist in the mitigation of certain risks, as well as help drive exponential growth and sustainability in the following areas: 1. Climate change The drastic effects of climate change, across the globe, are being seen more frequently than ever before. Even though efforts are being made to address the issue, such as the negotiations at the recent United Nations (UN) 2015 COP 21 summit held in France — which aims to limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial revolution times — the reality is that these discussions centre around long-term solutions rather than interim measures. Closer to home, South Africa itself, has experienced its worst drought in more than two decades, resulting in multi-billion rand losses within the agricultural sector. Some
drought relief is underway with the Minister of Finance’s recent announcement of the re-appropriation of funds to enable the delivery of water tanks, drilling of boreholes and even moving of cattle to state land. While the announcement gives farmers hope, it is also important to note that such measures will need time and resources to implement, and can only provide a certain level of respite as budgets are limited. Understanding that drought conditions are worsening and so is the vulnerability of farmers and their insurers to such weather related events, appropriate insurance is a crucial element of the agricultural risk management equation. These developments will see a steep increase in the dependence on, and need for effective irrigation systems, the construction of dams, more resilient, drought resistant seeds or crop stock and investment in comprehensive insurance cover. 2. Securing livestock The water shortages in particular, have meant that farmers have taken to slaughtering their livestock before these animals fall prey to the ongoing drought. The consequence is a rapidly diminishing herd (impacting breeding) and huge financial losses as farmers have to sell the meat at a reduced cost. Livestock insurance is an essential form of cover in mitigating the extent of the losses experienced, ensuring that farmers do not face bankruptcy.
3. Embracing diversification Agriculture, like any other industry, needs to consider diversification and the exploration of new markets. This can be seen, for example, in the move from livestock to game farming, or engaging in more downstream farming. However, critical to diversification is the need to look at alternative crops and varieties for different seasons, as well as systems that foster the need for a balanced approach with natural resources management on the one side, and socio-economic and market demand on the other. There has been a significant increase in the promotion of the ocean economy with Operation Phakisa identifying aquaculture as one of the four critical streams. The South African Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) also recently reviewed fishing rights allocations, licensing and quo-tas, further driving the growth of the sector. There is no doubt that the expansion of this industry is a welcome development in the fight to attain food security, and is a growing opportunity for agricultural insurance providers. It is essential for the agricultural industry, insurers and government to work together in order to minimise the extent of the financial impact the challenges outlined above present. Water and food security are critical components of the growth of any economy, making planning, insight and flexibility key to ensuring that the agricultural industry prospers.

Confusion over Great North investigation The investigations into the cause of the horror bus accident which killed ten people and injured more than fifty others on the George’s Valley road last month, are shrouded in mystery. This was after a Great North Transport (GNT) passenger bus overturned on its way from Moria to Tzaneen on the R528 through George’s Valley. Among the dead was an 11-month-old baby. Following the accident, Limpopo Transport MEC Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana announced on national radio that she would be suspending the operations of GNT, pending an enquiry into the safety of the company’s vehicles. She expressed concern over the four reported accidents thus far this year involving GNT busses.
However, the spokesperson for the Department of Transport Public Safety and Liaison, Ms Kagiso Mootane, disputed the statements by the MEC a day later, stating that the services of GNT could not simply be suspended. According to her, an investigation would be conducted at the head quarters of GNT to examine the wreckage. “That same team would also inspect other buses in the Great North fleet and if any are found to not be roadworthy, the company would be issued with a hefty fine.” Almost a month later and no inspection was launched. “We have not started on the inspection because we were busy with the Easter holidays. We are awaiting word from law enforcement and Public Works as to
GLM Mayor warns public of tender scam The Mayor of the Greater Letaba Municipality, Mr Godfrey City Modjadji, warned members of the public looking for tenders to be on the alert, after he learnt with shock and dismay that there is a group of people going around soliciting money from people using his name. Spokesperson for the GLM, Ms Lovers Maenetje, said the con-artists are going
around promising people tenders in return of a bribe in the name of the Mayor. “Anyone who is approached by these thugs is advised to immediately call the police. The Mayor has absolutely nothing to do with this as it is a scam,” Maenetje said. Maenetje concluded by saying: “We want to ensure the community that jobs and tenders are not for sale.” — Phidelia Rikhotso
when we can go ahead and start the investigations,” Mootane said. Bulletin contacted GNT and spoke to their media liaison officer, Mr Patrick Monkoe. “The findings of the investigations showed that the bus at the time of the accident was road-worthy. At the time of the unfortunate incident, media from across the province reported on the state of the George’s Valley road and raised concern over the safety of this stretch of road, and we believe that it may have played a part in the tragedy.” GNT issued a statement shortly after the accident, declaring that their buses are serviced by the suppliers — MAN and Scania — and are inspected rigorously to ensure that the vehicles meet the requirements of the road
safety regulations. “No buses are allowed to leave the compound if even a brake light is found to be faulty. It is simply not up for debate and it is not the way in which Great North conducts its business. We are very much involved in the community and therefore the safety of all our passengers is our highest priority,” Mokoe said. When asked about the inspections scheduled to take place at their depot in Polokwane, Mokoe said that RAL had in fact conducted their inspection and were to release a report on their findings. At the time of going to print the offices of RAL could not be reached for comment. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com
Milk price to rise The price of fresh milk and dairy products is expected to rise sharply in the coming weeks, as dairy farmers are facing production shortages. Some dairy processors are already paying commercial farmers 60c more per litre on average for milk, to ensure consistent supply in winter. Poor pasture conditions due to the drought and the higher grain prices have squeezed margins at farm level. The price is expected to further increase in May and will hike operating costs for the entire milk value chain, leaving retailers with no choice but to increase the price of milk and dairy products.“Most
dairy farmers are still recovering from the impact of the drought and will not be able to produce enough milk in the short term,” says Mr Paul Makube, senior agricultural economist at FNB. While South Africa does source certain dairy products from other countries, this did not help to alleviate increasing prices as the weaker rand made imports more expensive, despite lower international prices. He also said the electricity tariff increase coming into effect this month will severely drive up input costs for farmers and milk processors, as they heavily rely on equipment that consumes a lot of energy.

No dumping! Really? Residents in Nkowankowa ignore no dumping signs in the town and dump their trash in exactly those spots. This creates a serious health hazard and is causing eyesores for law-abiding residents. Trash is seen piling up in a spot with two No Dumping signs in Nkowankowa Section A, a mere 100 meters from the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s depot. Another area with prominent signs in front
of the Eskom Risima sub-station is also abused as a refuse dumping area and it looks rather bad. A Nkowankowa resident, Ms Tsakani Mashele, said the illegal dumping areas begin when a single
individual take a decision to dump his or her trash there. It attracts people with the same mind-set to do so while trash collection is available in all the areas. “People put a lot of effort into dumping. The challenge is that we don’t know what kind of poison they might dump and our kids play close

People who are interested in what church is and what it should be are afforded the opportunity to enroll for a module in Ecclesiology (study of the church). In the course of about thirteen sessions the following subjects will be discussed: Why the church is important, names and Scriptural metaphors of the church, attributes of the church from the ancient fathers, traits of a healthy church, church as missional and nurturing community, worship and fellowship, church discipline, leadership and church government, means of grace, baptisms, the Lord’s supper and the Holy Spirit and the church. Dr Jack Whytock from Mukhanyo is the lecturer. His lectures will be followed on DVD while a well trained Mukhanyo Distance facilitator will assist the students. All students who attend the module will receive a certificate of attendance. The study forms part of Mukhanyo Distance’s Diploma course in Theology, but students are invited to enroll for this single module. Mukhanyo Distance enables students to receive relevant, high quality, holistic,
affordable in-service distance training in theology. It provides biblically based training opportunities and facilities to church leaders for church and community development in Africa. The course also develops church leadership and administrative skills in order to inspire kingdom vision and to support the growth and development of churches. An important aspect is to equip leaders, office bearers and members of churches to correctly understand and apply the Bible in their own environment. Mukhanyo Distance invites everybody who is interested to attend the first lecture free of charge at 14:00 on Friday, 15 April 2016. The venue is in Tzaneen at the Reformed Church Laeveld, Claude Wheatley Street (opposite HiQ). The cost involved is R200 per module. A number of bursaries is also available which will enable students to study for R100 per module. This amount includes all study material. Students follow by DVD the same classes full time Mukhanyo students attend. Contact Dr Edmund de Beer on 083 3911 065 for more information.

People dump their refuse bags at the no dumping signs, because the refuse removers are not always reliable. Spokesperson for the Greater Tzaneen Municipality, Mr Neville Ndlala, said: “The trash could not be collected due to a recent protest in the area which lasted two to three weeks.

Krisisbestuur Met ‘n landspresident wat van die een krisis na die volgende steier, is dit seker nie vreemd dat krisisbestuur in ons land aan die orde van die dag is nie. In ons omgewing ervaar ons dit ook gereeld. Eers nadat Tzaneen vir ‘n naweek sonder krag was, het die plaaslike owerheid opgetree en gedoen wat toe lankal gedoen moes gewees het. Eers toe die strate in Tzaneen so verval het dat dit skade aan voertuie veroorsaak het, is met lapwerk (van ‘n swak gehalte) begin. Eers toe die pad in Georges Valley deur ‘n sinkgat ingesluk is, kon die geld en kundigheid om die probleem ordentlik reg te stel, ewe skielik gevind word. Die lys is lank. Gelukkig is ‘n munisipale verkiesing op hande en word allerhande werk nou gedoen; nie behoorlik nie, maar darem. Die tuin voor die GTM se hoofgebou geniet nou skielik aandag. Daar word skielik bome geplant (nugter weet waarvandaan dit kom, want die munisipale kwekery is ‘n puinhoop). Gelukkig aanvaar kiesers nie meer die beloftes van politici nie, want dit is duidelik goedkoop propaganda. Nuwe eise gaan toeneem en politici, veral die amateurs op plaaslike owerheidsvlak, sal hul sokkies moet optrek om voor te bly en met behoorlike beplanning uit die kringloop van krisisbestuur te kom. Die tyd sal leer of dit moontlik is.

Môre, ’agbare! Lekker geslaap? Die rook van verontwaardiging begin draai in regskringe in Tzaneen, oor ‘n landdros se eskapades op die bank. Van klagtes by die landdrostekommissie en by die hooflanddros van Tzaneen oor die onaanvaarbare gedrag van landdros Harriet Mbalati, het sover nog nie veel gekom nie. Intussen is regslui vies vir die landdros se streke wat hul kliënte baie geld kos en onnodige ontwrigting in dagboekbeplanning veroorsaak. Mbalati word daarvan beskuldiging dat sy onder meer tydens ‘n verhoor aan die slaap geraak het, dat sy haar ontydig aan ‘n verhoor onttrek het en dat sy die regbank en die sybalie oneer aandoen deur sonder ‘n toga op die bank te verskyn. Die senior vennoot van Joubert & May Prokureurs in Tzaneen, mnr Ras Brits, sê hulle het al by twee geleenthede skriftelik by die hooflanddros van Tzaneen, mnr G J Norval, oor Mbalati se gedrag gekla.
Die eerste klagte was in Maart, toe ‘n voorval op 26 Februarie onder Norval se aandag gebring is. Op dié dag het prokureurs, klaers, verweerders en getuies van die oggend tot ‘n “hele ruk” na twee uur vir Mbalati gewag. Terwyl ‘n prokureur besig was met die kruisondervraging van ‘n getuie, het Mbalati aan die slaap geraak met haar kop op haar arms. Eers nadat ‘n hofbeampte “aangekondig” het dat Mbalati slaap, het een van die prokureurs haar met ‘n harde stem wakker gemaak. Hy het haar toe meegedeel dat sy aan die slaap geraak het. Haar antwoord was dat die bandspeler aan was en dat dit (die slapery) nie ‘n probleem is nie. Toe die prokureur die volgende getuie wou roep, het Mbalati gesê sy is te moeg en beslis dat die saak uitgestel moet word. Die uitstel van die saak bring verkwiste koste nou maklik op minstens R20 000 te staan, sê Brits. Daar was ‘n verdere voorval Maandag dié Na bl 2
Popular athlete dies Leading runner for the Tzaneen Marathon Club and multimedalist Hendrick Setuke from GaKgapane died on Friday, when the vehicle he was driving in with friends overturned at GaMothiba. Hendrick died instantly, but the other passengers only sustained light injuries. Setuke last year represented SA in a marathon in Ireland and earlier this year he took part in an athletics meeting in France. He has also been named the best athlete in the province. He specialised in the 5 000 meters. * The Letaba Bulletin ran a report on Hendrick only last week, highlighting his achievements.

Eskom se liggies blaas Eskom se administrasie in die Laeveld is besig om in duie te stort. Boere in die Harmonieblok en Trichardtsdal, wat hul elektrisiteit direk van Eskom koop, is moedeloos met die kragvoorsiener se klaarblyklike onvermoë om eenvoudige papierwerk op datum te kry, en intern tussen departemente te kommunikeer. In dieselfde asem word Eskom se tegniese dienslewering deur boere hoog aangeskryf. In dié verband het mnr Bulla Schönken van Eskom onlangs ‘n toekenning van die Ofcolaco/Trichardtsdal Boerevereniging ontvang, vir uitnemende diens. Sy kollega in dié
gebied, mnr André Botes, doen self ook vier mense se werk, sê boere wat vir jare ontevrede was met daaglikse kragonderbrekings. “Vandat hulle in ons gebied begin werk het, word ons bederf met uitstekende diens, ongeag die weersomstandighede of tyd van die nag” sê mnr Piet van Graan, ‘n vooraanstaande saaiboer van Trichardtsdal. Maar administratief gaan dit beroerd. Een boer ontvang al drie jaar lank rekenings vir drie kragpunte wat hy van sy naam laat skrap het, nadat ‘n huurkontrak verstryk het. Hy het al ‘n tas vol korrespondensie waarmee
hy tevergeefs sukkel om die saak reg te stel. Hy is selfs al aan Eskom se regsinvorderaars oorhandig, oor uitstaande skuld op een van die punte. Uit die bloute het hy onlangs vir ‘n ander punt ‘n rekening ontvang vir R54 000, en by navraag is dit gewysig na R12 000. Dit is egter nie sy rekening nie, en hy moet deurgaans keer dat sy verbruik nie vanweë ‘n ander departement se swak administrasie onregmatig opgeskort word nie. Nog ‘n boer het in die teenwoordigheid van Eskom-amptenare telefonies met Eskom se kantoor in Phalaborwa Na bl 2
Vandag kyk ons na die voorblad van die Bulletin van 9 April 2004. Die hoofnuus het gehandel oor ‘n krisis in Tzaneen se landdroshof, waar landdros Harriet Mbalati tydens verhore aan die slaap geraak het, haar tydig en ontydig aan verhore onttrek het en selfs sonder haar toga op die bank verskyn het. Ander nuus was van ‘n gewilde en suksesvolle atleet van die Tzaneen Marathonklub, Hendrick Setuke, wat in ‘n motorongeluk dood is. Nog voorbladnuus het gemeld dat Eskom se administrasie in die streek besig was om in duie te stort, en dat veral boerderye erg hierdeur ontwrig is. Die swembadfoto is by Die Eiland geneem, as ‘n aptytwekker vir die Paasnaweek ‘n week later.

Die Boodskap
Skoenlappers ‘n Man was bedlêend weens ‘n ongeneeslike siekte. Op ‘n dag het hy ‘n papie op sy vensterbank opgemerk. Hy het sy dae omgebring deur te kyk hoe die papie ontwikkel. Op ‘n dag het die man gesien hoe daar ‘n gaatjie in die kokon se bokant kom, en hoe ‘n skoenlapper worstel om uit te kom. Dit was egter ‘n lang, harde stryd. Soos die tyd verbygegaan het, het die worstelende insek geen vordering getoon nie. Uiteindelik het die siek man gedink dat die Skepper ‘n fout gemaak het. Die man het ‘n skêr geneem en die opening van die kokon groter gemaak. Die skoenlapper het uitgekruip, maar dit was al wat dit ooit kon gedoen het: kruip! Die man het nooit besef dat die stryd van die skoenlapper om uit die kokon te kom, bedoel was om kleurryke, lewegewende sappe na die vlerke toe te stuur en dit sterk te maak nie. As gevolg van die man se hulp kon dit nie gebeur nie. Die insek was gedoem om sy kort lewe deur te bring deur in die stof rond te kruip, terwyl dit bedoel was om met reënboogvlerke in pragtige tuine rond te fladder. Die Skepper maak nooit ‘n fout nie. Ons mag so dink, maar in elke bietjie swaarkry en lyding is Hy besig om lewe-gewende geestelike sappe na ons siele te stuur, sodat ons geestelik sterk kan word en in die geloof kan groei. Die feit is dat jy op Hom kan vertrou, selfs wanneer dit vir jou lyk asof die stryd hard, meedoënloos en sinloos is. Die uiteinde van hierdie stryd en vertroue is dat ons soos pragtige skoenlappers in sy tuin sal fladder. “Ons verheug ons ook in die swaarkry, want ons weet: swaarkry kweek volharding, en volharding kweek egtheid van geloof, en egtheid van geloof kweek hoop en ons hoop sal nie tevergeefs wees nie.” (Romeine 5:3 – 4).

Life-time of service to mankind recognised
This week’s Local Hero is Ms Wendy Coleman, who unselfishly help mothers and their babies. The full story of this remarkable lady is elsewhere on this page.
Helpende Hand benodig ook JOU helpende hande! Vandag nog!
“Breast-feeding is supposed to be a natural instinct but often mothers don’t know how to latch their babies,” says nursing sister Ms Wendy Coleman (78). Coleman helps mothers with their newborns at MediClinic Tzaneen. She shows up to seventy mothers a month how to breast-feed and how to cope with problems. “Mothers are inclined to grab the bottle too soon and formula is not good for a baby.” Before retiring, Coleman went on a World Health Organisation (WHO) informative breast-feeding course at Letaba Hospital. At two months, babies suddenly get a growth spurt and need a lot of milk. Galactagogues is a substance that promotes lactation and Coleman recommends Jungle Juice to increase milk supply. Mix three litres water with one litre apple juice, ten drops rescue remedy and one sachet blackcurrant rehydrate. Drink a glass after every feed. Fluids increase the milk supply but stress is the worst enemy of breast feeding, hence the rescue remedy. Coleman also recommends music whilst breastfeeding and says babies
are partial to the soothing notes of Mozart. Coleman, née Bisset, grew up in Agatha and decided to become a nurse at the age of eight. As soon as she finished school she went on her own to Johannesburg to start her training at the then Johannesburg General Hospital. Afterwards she did her year’s midwifery at the Queen Victoria Maternity Hospital in Johannesburg. She nursed the country’s first pacemaker patients under the first cardio thoracic surgeons, at the Florence Nightingale Hospital in Hillbrow. She also nursed the first patients to get artificial steel valves in South Africa and learnt how to give cardiac massage. Coleman became a full-time mother to her two children after she married. In 1982 the Colemans moved to the Agatha family farm. Coleman’s mother had Alzheimer’s and help was needed on the farm. Coleman is fearful of following in her mother’s medical footsteps, so she consumes extra virgin coconut oil daily,
as it’s believed to ward off Alzheimer’s. Sr Joan Meredith from the Department of Health appointed Coleman to take care of the aged from Gravelotte to Mooketsi from 1982 to 1994. As there was no medical service in Haenertsburg she was instructed to investigate the need. This was the start of the Haenertsburg clinic every two weeks for the aged in the old court house. She also did home visits and her oldest patient was Ms Lily Lake (91). It was amongst the elderly that she came face to face with cancer. She went on a short public health course and started a mobile clinic in 1994. It involved family planning, immunisation of babies, examination, diagnosis and treatment from Politsi to Deerpark. Coleman retired in 2003, sold the farm, and lived near the Coach House Hotel, where she ran a clinic for the staff. She stays fit and strong with the body of someone half her age. She concentrates on exercises for mobility and strength four times a week, and this includes press ups and pushups. — Sue Ettmayr sue@bulletin.us.com

Die alledaagse gebruik van posseëls is besig om ‘n uitsondering te word, gemeet aan ‘n kitsopname wat die Bulletin dié week in Tzaneen se Lifestyle Sentrum gehou het. Hulle is begroet met uitsprake soos “watter soort besigheid is julle wat nog seëls gebruik?” of “kan nie onthou wanneer laas ek ‘n posseël gelek het nie”. Weens die lywigheid en omvang van sekere dokumente is dit steeds vir baie ondernemings nie moontlik om dit per sosiale

media en e-pos te versend nie. Koerante en tydskrifte is voorbeelde hiervan. Die Poskantoor verskaf op die oomblik nie los posseëls nie, maar verkoop dit in ‘n duur boekievorm waarin twaalf seëls teen R43,20 beskikbaar is. Die boekie se tema is die Rivonia-hoogverraadverhoor, waarin onder andere wyle president Nelson Mandela skuldig bevind is. Elke seël is gekoppel aan een van die verhoordes in dié geskiedkundige saak. Die boekies is tans beperk tot net twee per klant.

In ons kitsopname sê me Sophie Mashaba Tsungu die seëls in boekievorm is ‘n goeie manier om die betekenis daarvan in ons land se geskiedenis aan die publiek bekend te stel, hoewel die gebruik daarvan deesdae beperk is. Mnr Ricardo Terblanche sê hy was in sy skooljare ‘n seëlversamelaar wat toe so ‘n boekie met graagte sou opraap, maar vandag is dit nie meer ter sprake nie.

seëls plak is lankal verby. Die Poskantoor se boekie-plan is egter “oulik” en het versamelaarswaarde. Mnr Peter Sebekwane hou van die boekie. Hy meen egter om R43,20 te betaal as ‘n mens net een seël nodig het, is uitspattig. Mnr Flippie Jacobs sê die elektroniese media doen deesdae die werk. Tog is daar nog baie mense in plattelandse gebiede wat daarvan hou om ‘n brief te skryf, ‘n seël nat te lek en daarop te plak.
Slangbyt eis dele van man se wysvingers ‘n Werktuigkundige van Trophy Motors in Modjadjiskloof het skade aan albei sy wysvingers opgedoen, toe hy in die werkswinkel deur ‘n suidelike sypikslang (stiletto) aangeval is. Litte van albei vingers moes afgesit word. Mnr Pieter van der Westhuizen is na weke terug by die werk, maar kan nog nie sy hande gebruik nie. Hy is onder behandeling van ‘n arbeidsterapeut om die geskende vingers reg te kry vir handewerk. “Dis hoe ek my brood verdien.”

huizen. In die hospitaal het hy slagoffers ontmoet wat baie erger daaraan toe was. Hulle is toevallig ook deur sypikslange gepik. ‘n Slanghanteerder van Tzaneen, mnr Raymond Rees, het reeds ‘n maand gelede teen slange in die gebied gewaarsku. Volgens hom het reën na maande se droogte bygedra dat slange uit hul skuilplekke kom
en vryelik rondbeweeg, op soek na kos. Alle slange moet as gevaarlik beskou word, maar dis nie nodig om hulle dood te maak nie. Hy
is ‘n slangkenner en sal vrywillig help om die gevaar af te weer. Hy is bereikbaar by 073 166 3651.

Van der Westhuizen sê op 2 Maart het die slang van nagenoeg 70 cm hom in die werkswinkel tuisgemaak. Hy het ‘n lang skroewedraaier gegryp om die kalant by die deur uit te help, maar in die proses is hy drie keer aan die vingers gepik — een was droog, maar die ander twee het genoeg gif vrygestel dat hy binne drie minute bewusteloos neergesak het. Volgens hom was die slang baie aggressief. Hy is inderhaas na die Mediclinic Tzaneen gebring, waar hy vir ‘n week teen die slangbyte behandel is. Na sy ontslag moes hy weer vir ‘n week vir opvolgbehandeling terug keer. ‘n Slangkenner is hy nie, sê Van der Westhuizen, maar hy het al voorheen slange gevang of vankant gemaak. Hy waarsku egter almal, veral kinders, om nie met slange rond te foeter nie. “Daardie byt-gevoel is nog vars in my geheue en ek het lewenslange skade aan my hande opgedoen.

Otto said the vehicle was hijacked in Mankweng on 30 March by two armed suspects who drove around with the victim and later dropped him in Maake, where he reported the crime. “The police are currently tracing the second suspect,” said Otto.
Two critical after trucks collided
Cops re-arrest fourth escapee
The Police announced on Monday that they had re-arrested Victor Makgopa, one of the seven prisoners who escaped from Tzaneen police station’s holding cells two weeks ago. He was re-arrested in Bolobedu South on Sunday. The police have also re-arrested Huston Mabasa (27), Lucky Mashatola (24) and Goodwill Marana Sekhwela (26) in the past weeks. It is alleged that the prisoners escaped during a routine check in the cells. Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe said the search for the remaining three, Mahlatsi Sekgota, Tshepo Charles Sebake and Piet Solly Sekgobela, was continuing. The escapees face various violent crimes ranging from armed robbery and housebreaking to rape. They are extremely dangerous and members of the public are warned not to approach them but to inform the police when they see them. If any member of the community see them, they
The police recovered a hijacked grey Polo Vivo and arrested one of two suspects near Tzaneen last week Thursday morning. Provincial police spokesperson Col Ronel Otto said the two suspects hijacked the vehicle on Wednesday night. A shoot-out ensued in Lulekani between police members and the suspects, during a chase. “In the early hours of the morning a hijacked vehicle was recovered by Tracker and members of K9 at Tzaneen. The suspects fired at the police who returned fire and wounded one suspect. The other one fled. A 9 mm pistol with the serial number filed off was recovered on the scene.”
Two people sustained critical injuries in two different truck accidents in Magoebaskloof on Thursday last week. In the first accident the driver of a truck that was transporting steel lost control and the truck went into the steel barrier. In the second accident the driver lost control and the truck overturned. ER24 and EMS paramedics attended to both the accidents. Two people were injured in the (first) accident. One person sustained critical injuries and was brought to Mediclinic Tzaneen for emergency treatment. Another person sustained minor injuries and was also brought to the Mediclinic for treatment. One person sustained critical injuries in the second collision which occurred about an hour after the first one. The three injured people were treated and taken to a hospital for further medical care.

Selfoonskelms knou vrou se beursie ‘n Vrou van Modjadjiskloof is keelvol vir skelmstreke, nadat ‘n beweerde bedrogspul met selfoonkontrakte haar bankrekening leeggemelk het.
maandelikse verpligtings aan haar teruggestuur is. Sy het MTN se bedryfstak in die Lifestyle Sentrum in Tzaneen verskeie kere genader en ook twee keer ‘n beëdigde verklaring oor die ongerymdheid by die Polisie afgelê, om die saak opgeklaar te kry. Uit desperaatheid het sy selfs die hulp van mnr Dave Protter van Crisis Centre in Modjadjiskloof ingeroep. Die twee het saam voor die selfoonwinkel betoog om die nodige aandag te kry. ‘n Woordvoerder van Cosmonet MTN in Tzaneen het dié week gesê die kwessie is uiteindelik opgeklaar, nadat dit deur hul hoofkantoor ondersoek is. Meyer kry haar geld terug, terwyl die kontrakte vir selfone wat op haar rekening verskyn het, afsonderlik deur MTN se bedrog-afdeling ondersoek word. Die selfone is glo in Durban gekoop. Volgens die MTN-woordvoerder word streng maatreëls gevolg met die uitreiking van selfoonkontrakte, maar iewers skuil daar altyd ‘n skelm met ‘n nuwe slenter. Dit gebeur nie dikwels nie en word so vinnig moontlik deur die maatskappy ondersoek. Dit is ongelukkig dat die Meyer-geval langer as twee weke geneem het om uitgeklaar te word, het hy gesê. Protter is egter steeds ongelukkig met die diens wat hy van die selfoonverskaf-
Me Retha Meyer sukkel sedert die begin van Maart om haar sake met die selfoonverskaffer MTN reggestel te kry, nadat kontrakte vir twee nuwe selfone onregmatig op haar rekening verskyn het. ‘n Onverwagte aftrekking van meer as R5 000 uit haar bankrekening het veroorsaak dat bestaande debietorders vir haar
fer gekry het. Volgens hom het hy sewe weke gelede ‘n nuwe simkaart by hulle gekoop. Hy sê “ondanks verskeie pogings om die diens uitgestryk te kry, werk die simkaart steeds nie na behore nie”. • Op die foto hiernaas betoog me Retha Meyer en mnr Dave Protter voor die MTN-winkel in die Tzaneen Life Style Centre.
Mr Joshua Rasebechela has been working the printing press at Lowveld Labels for almost three decades. This year, the staff and management of the well-known manufacturer awarded him with a certificate and some gifts for his hard work and dedication. Mr Rowan Deacon, the owner of Lowveld Labels, said that Joshua Spar Northrand Region held their My Customer Cashier Challenge award ceremony in Durban. Mr Solly Masetla and Ms Sannitjie Makhubele from Tza-

has been and still remains an invaluable part of the company’s success story and wished him all the best for the rest of his career. “It feels good to be appreciated and I thank Lowveld Labels for recognizing my dedication to their operation and for spoiling me with these gifts. It truly means a lot to me,” he said.

Historic trophies find a new home Swimming trophies from the 1970’s onwards were dumped on the pavement when reconstruction began at the Tzaneen public swimming pool in Crown Street more than a year ago. The site foreman, Mr Jan Ludick, found them. Realizing their historic value he handed them in to the Bulletin newspaper across the road. An article about the recovery of these tarnished and battered silver trophies was published in the newspaper. Reaction came from Unicorn Preparatory School, who said they would like to care for the trophies. After consultations with other interested parties, the Bulletin decided to hand the trophies to the school, to be preserved for generations to come. The school’s headmaster, Mr Ian Houston, said that Kabod Manufacturing Jewelers would now restore
Timothy and Travis Baker are seen here with one of the trophies donated to the school. This particular trophy was awarded to their mother, Stephanie, back in the early 1980’s for her achievements in the swimming pool.

the trophies and they would then be suitably displayed at the school. An official handing over ceremony, with pupils present, was held in the Williams Hall on Monday. Houston said that the trophies hold particular historic significance for the school as many of the swimmers went to Unicorn all those years ago. Stephanie Baker, ex-Unicorn, whose sons are both attending the school, is just one of the many award winning swimmers whose name appears on one of the trophies (under her maiden name). Unfortunately the boys’ trophy is missing. Should anyone be in possession of this trophy please hand it in at Unicorn reception. It is the right thing to do. — Sue Ettmayr sue@bulletin.us.com

SLC’s boys and girls performed well at Treverton Boys Hockey – 1st Team: Stanford 1st team boys played in the Treverton Festival over the holidays. After a slow start, the boys picked up steam and played some entertaining hockey matches. The match of the festival was against the host school, and the expectation ran high for this match. SLC put Treverton under pressure from the start and scored two early goals. Treverton came back with one of their own. Stanford then put the match out of their reach, scoring another two goals. SLC
Netball: Stanford’s netball girls had an extremely
successful trip to Treverton. On paper, the first day appeared to be the toughest. Last year SLC lost narrowly to Amanzimtoti and this was SLC’s first match for 2016. The girls walked onto the court with confidence and determination. This proved to be the recipe for success, as after 40 minutes the match ended 29-16 to Stanford. The following match was also tough, against Kloof! Again the girls fought hard and never let their heads drop, with a nail-biting end, finishing one goal ahead (20-19). The next day started off slow and the girls lost against De la Salle in the last minute by one goal… despite this loss, the

Hockey Girls: The 1st team Hockey girls played nine matches. They won six, drew one and lost two games.

Oppie Kassie On the Telly Louis lei SA aanslag op Meesterstitel ʼn Boorling van Mosselbaai en een van Somerset-Wes is twee van vyf Suid-Afrikaners wat dié naweek om een van die blinkste titels in sport meeding. Louis Oosthuizen en Trevor Immelman speel op Augusta in die Amerikaanse Meesters, een van die vier vernaamste gholftoernooie ter wêreld. Branden Grace en Charl Swartzel, wat in Gauteng gebore is, word ook as sterk aanspraakmakers beskou. Die toernooi, met ʼn prysgeld van tien miljoen Amerikaanse dollar (die wenner kry $1.8 miljoen) word regstreeks op televisie uitgesaai. Die veteraan Ernie Els sal ouder gewoonte een van die toeskouers se gunstelinge wees. Naas die gholf, wat baie mense se slaappatroon erg gaan ontwrig, waarborg die regstreekse uitsending van Superrugby en veral die sewesrugby in Hongkong ʼn opwindende naweek vir sportliefhebbers.
Merensky High School’s Christelle Coetzer participated in the XCO Mountain Biking Cub Series in Pretoria. The XCO track is a vicious 4,7 km long and participants must complete at least three rounds to qualify at the end. Christelle ended sixth overall. She is seen here in full action.

The schools’ rugby season has begun and Stanford Lake College’s first rugby team took part in the annual Treverton Rugby Festival. The SLC team did exceptionally well once again this year. The team was honoured by the tournament organisers as they were chosen to play the hosts, Treverton, in the tournament opener on the first day. All three matches
went really well with the backline showing some great attacking and defensive capabilities. The ‘Badgers’ also played in the tournament final against Kloof on the last day, as they were the only two unbeaten teams. Of the three matches played, SLC won two and lost one.

Mam’s will play in Jozi Following the third and penultimate round of street soccer this weekend in Polokwane, it seems clear that two teams will represent Limpopo in Gauteng in May. Mam’s Tavern and Percy’s Pepsi are in the lead with 26 and 21 points respectively, following their clash on Saturday. The Smirnoff Raga Bolo street soccer tournament has only three weeks to go until the final match, which is to be played in May in Johannesburg. The winner of that match will receive R100 000 in prize money along with other rewards for the tavern which they represent. The teams appeared refreshed after the Easter weekend break and took the grounds in high spirit. Disappointingly, three of the six teams scheduled to play in this round of Is Oubal nou die afgelope week of twee oorval met navrae oor hoekom hy nog niks gesê het oor die T20 WB nie. Die laaste oproep was verlede Sondagaand van ou Nostrofredamus Pohl van Vishoek, kort nadat Carlos Brathwaite sy vierde ses geslaan het. ‘Tja, nie net wil Nostrofred weet hoekom Oubal niks sê nie, hy wil ook sommer weet wat fout is met ons Proteas, dat ons weereens in ‘n belangrike krieketkompetisie ge“tjouk” het. Sug. Oubal dink ons land ly so kollektief aan aandagafleibaarheid dat die hele bevolking op daai middel moet wees wat die skooljuffrouens die dokters vra om voor te skryf vir die woelige kinders wat nie kan stilsit in die klas nie, maar hy sal weer ‘n keer uitspel wat hy voorheen al gesê het: Hoe korter die weergawe van krieket, hoe ‘n groter dobbelspel is dit. Om dus te verwag dat Oubal hieroor moet skryf (wat hy nou maar teen wil en dank doen), is ook om van hom te verwag om rubrieke te skryf oor tolgooi, albasters, dambord, bok-bok, kleilatgooi, kennetjie en tiddlywinks, hoewel Oubal dink daar is dalk meer meriete in kleilat en kennetjie as iets wat ‘n biljoen subkontinenters na hulle asems laat snak. Hoe dit ook al sy, Oubal is heeltemal bereid om te kyk na die tweede deel van Nostrofred se vraag (as hy tot hiertoe
T(20)iddlywinks aandag gegee het). Te midde van die grootskaalse dermuitrygery merk Oubal dat ons nie alleen is in hierdie sinnelose oefening nie. So sien Oubal byvoorbeeld ou Shane Warne het erg te velde getrek teen die Aussie-keurders oor hul swak spankeuses, ‘n deuntjie wat hier te land nie onbekend is nie. Waqar Younis, afrigter van Pakistan, het Oubal verstom deur sy kaptein Shahid Afridi “breindood” te noem, maar dit verbaas Oubal glad nie dat hulle intussen albei uit hul poste bedank het nie. Oubal het nog nie Sri Lanka se lamentering gehoor nie, maar saam met SA moet Nostrofred dan seker ook vra wat fout is met hierdie drie lande se krieket dat hulle ook nie die groepfase kon oorleef nie. Wat Oubal dan bring by die wat wel die halfeindstryde gehaal het. Laat ons nou maar eerlik wees, as dit nie was dat Bangladesh ‘n gemors gemaak het van twee lopies aanteken
the knockout stages, failed to show on the day and were disqualified. Their disqualification did give the remaining teams the edge as they were handed walk over points. At midday, the face off everyone had been waiting for kicked off. Mam’s Tavern and Percy’s Pepsi sported new kit and a few new players as they took their positions. It was Mam’s who opened the goal account with a fantastic cross straight into the bottom corner by winger, Thomas Shibangwe. Percy’s Pepsi struggled to stay in the game and at the final whistle had to concede to a 12 – 4 defeat. The last leg of the Polokwane league will take place in Sheshego on 16 April. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com
vanaf drie balle nie, dan was Indië, die selfverklaarde koning van kort formate, ook nie ‘n semi-finalis nie en moes Nostrofred ook ‘n vraagteken oor hul krieket geplaas het. NZ, wat alles voor hulle platgevee het in die groepfase, is onseremoniëel deur Engeland uitgeboender in die halfeindstryd, maar Oubal kon nog nie agterkom of hulle al by die nersderm uitgekom het nie. En dan die groot openbaring vir neef Nostrofred — die twee spanne in die eindstryd was die enigste twee teen wie die Proteas verloor het en albei was maar naelskraapse oorwinnings, soos wat dit nou maar in oogwinkkrieket gaan. Selfs Wes-Indië wat uiteindelik so dramaties skouspelagtig gewen het, het ‘n verloor op hul kerfstok gehad in die groepfase, nogal teen Afghanistan. ‘Tja, neef Nostrofed, ons kan klaagliedere aanhef oor te veel wydlopers, onnodige uithardlope, waar AB in die kolforde inpas, hoeveel draaiers ons moet speel, die verkeerde spankeuses, en of dit regverdig is om die onervare Kagiso Rabada die laaste boulbeurt te laat afstuur, maar in sy finaliteit redekawel ons oor die meriete van tiddlywinks. “Keep a demon busy, I thought. Right. Maybe he fancies a game of Tiddlywinks.” — Rick Riordan
