Local models up for fame In true Barwise fashion, Tzaneen was once again served a delicious dose of eye candy at the Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre this past weekend. With a long standing tradition as the favoured pool from which scouts draw local talent, a few of the models on show this weekend were rumoured to be heading onward to stardom in the near future. One such starlet to keep an eye on is 16-year old Natasha Bischof, the current Top Model Polokwane 2016 title holder. Another rising star who adorned the catwalk this weekend was Miss Tzaneen Lifestyle 2016 winner, Sumari Erasmus. The two beauties along with fellow models from the prestigious Limpopo Beauty Modelling Academy under guidance of Katryn Barwise, presented some of the local designers’
show stopper dresses. Available at their Tzaneen-based boutiques, these designer gowns are certain to make your wedding or matric farewell, an unforgettable experience. The event was well attended by soon-to-be married couples shopping around for dresses, décor and venues for their big day. A stroll through the arcade at Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre provided visitors with a buyer’s eye view of all that the region has to offer as exhibitors from all across the area displayed their finest products. There was a lot of excitement among audience members as one by one the ladies showed off the
finest dresses fit for brides or bridesmaids, or those simply wanting to exit their high school career with a bang. — Joe Dreyer

Vlieg Vlieg het ‘n plan. Eintlik het Vlieg alewig ‘n plan. Eintlik het Vlieg alewig baie planne. Hierdie plan is seker nou op stuk van sake nie Vlieg se plan nie, ten minste nie sy eie plan nie, maar op ‘n manier wel. Miskien! Kyk, die Ingelse is ‘n ander spulletjie. Hulle is vol planne. Ten minste kan Vlieg hulle dit toegee dat hulle destydse plan om stainless steel uit te vind, ‘n bleddie goeie plan was. Of hul jongste plan die Labrador gaan haaraf maak, die sal Vlieg en die res van die wêreld nou seker maar nog moet sien. Vlieg verwys natuurlik na hulle Brexit-plan van verlede Donnerdag. En het hulle mekaar nie amper gedonner nie! Om Europa te wil verlaat het seker meriete, maar Vlieg sal homself nou nie adverteer as ‘n Europese kenner nie — hy verdien after all maar net rande en kom maar min daar. Vlieg vermoed egter dat Haar Majesteit se diensknegte hulself dalk in die voet, indien dalk nie ‘n ander sensitiewe deel van die anatomie nie, geskiet het. Vlieg verstaan verder dat die Brexit-storie dalk daartoe kan lei dat ‘n horde ander Europese lande dieselfde roete volg. Hulle praat van Grexit, asof die Grieke kan bekostig om om die hoek van die café af te kan
trek, wat nog uit Europa uit! Italeave, Finish, Czeckout, Oustria, Departugal, Goatia, Bailgium en dies meer. Die tyd sal leer. Maar Afrika is nie Europa nie, en Afrika is nie vir sissies nie — en Vlieg het nog steeds ‘n plan! Vlieg dink die derde Augustus is te naby vir die IEC om ‘n verkniesing te bekonkel. Hulle het meer tyd nodig. Vlieg dink ons moet eerder ‘n referendum hou. Ons het lanklaas ‘n referendum gehad en ten minste nog nooit ‘n demokratiese een nie. En, die tyd kan nie beter wees vir onse ou landjie om te besluit of onse Mzansi nie eerder maar moet afstig van Afrika nie. Vlieg kondig hier-
Mzokof! mee aan dat hy ‘n veldtog gaan loods, met die naam Mzokof! Vlieg is seker dat hy wye steun gaan geniet van die opposisiepartye. Voorts is hy seker dat die Aansee die veldtog gaan teenstaan met ‘n groot nee-stem. Mzokof gaan V.I. (Vlieg’s Insiens) baie van ons land se probleempies oplos. Behalwe dat ons die steun van Haar Majesteit se nuwe sowereine nasie sal ontvang, sal die VSA onder Donald Trump waarskynlik ons grootste handelsvennoot word. En dan jaag ons sommer al oom Bob se werksoekers terug oor die Limpopo, reinig Hilbrow en Sunnyside van die Nigeriërs, en onse dorpie se hoofstraat van Somalië en Ethiopië. En as Mzokof dat uiteindelik seëvier, en die res van die land se anti-Zulu sentiment (Pretoria s’n is nou al welbekend) ast’ware numeries bereken kan word, dan hoop ons maar dat onse president die voorbeeld sal volg van Haar Majesteit se Eerste Minister. Vergesog? Dis dalk die enigste manier om van die ou donner ontslae te raak, sewe-komma-agt-miljoen-van ons-swaarverdiende-belastinggeld-later! Mzok!
Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Vlieg is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en personeel van die koerant nie!
How small businesses can survive (and thrive in tough economic times) The ailing SA economy, exasperated by rising government debt and the weakening rand, poses a unique set of challenges for small and upcoming businesses. We have also seen in the last few years the number of South Africans interested in starting a business has halved since 2010. However, trying economic conditions don’t necessarily mean a death sentence for smaller companies. This is according to Mr Gerrie van Biljon, Executive Director at Business Partners Limited (Business/Partners) who says that by employing simple strategies, such as better expense and cash flow management, customer centricity and the streamlining of processes, not only can smaller businesses survive during these tough economic times, but they can thrive. Many measures “Having recently revised its GDP down to 0,4% from 0,6% for Quarter 4 of 2015, economic growth in South Africa has slowed down, and the inflation rate and unemployment figures remain ominously high. While this kind of economic climate is challenging for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), there are many measures that entrepreneurs can implement in order to survive these tough times,” he says. Van Biljon says that small businesses should review all of their processes and operations to ensure that they are achieving maximum efficiency. While expense management is essential for survival, he does warn that aggressive cuts can be dangerous for an SME. “Entrepreneurs need to look at the situation strategically and, rather than just cut expenses, ask themselves how the process by which their service or product is produced can be streamlined. The last thing a growing busi-

ness should consider doing is shirking on quality, which links directly to customer satisfaction. Marketing “In the early stages of any business, marketing is of utmost importance to get business. As small businesses might not have large marketing budgets, word-of-mouth advertising plays a large role in marketing a business. It is therefore essential to offer a high level of service to all customers as there may not be a second chance. Besides, when you delight your customers during tough times, they’re yours for life!” says Van Biljon. Another point that he brings home is the importance of a constant positive cash flow in any new or growing business. “Cash flow is essential because, simply put, you can’t spend money you don’t have and a certain degree of liquidity is essential to continue standard business operations. It is the lifeblood of every business, without it the business is dead. In an SME environment, this may require negotiations for some breathing room from suppliers by extending payment to two or three months if possible. Don’t finance customers “Alternatively, customers could be persuaded to pay a little earlier, even if this entails offering a slight discount or special offer. “At the best of times, it is unwise for an SME to sell its goods on credit if it cannot afford to do so. The majority of smaller businesses can’t afford to finance their customers due to a lack of funding. Offering credit adds to the risk profile of the business. It loads an administration burden that costs money and
there is always the possibility of bad debts. Small business owners should seriously consider whether to offer credit and not merely offer terms to get the business.” The BIG ones Van Biljon’s closing piece of advice, looking for the silver lining, is that a business should never waste an economic downturn as many great multinationals were started during recession periods, including Microsoft, General Electric, Revlon Cosmetics, Burger King and IBM to name a few. “These hard-hitting times give entrepreneurs a reason to relook at their business model and find out where there is wastage. This is also the perfect time to identify newfound gaps in their areas of expertise, turning tough times into an opportunity”.

Pasop vir selfoonslenter
Traffic officers back in court Two Limpopo provincial traffic officers who are out on bail of R1 000 each on a charge of possession of an unlicensed firearm appeared again in the Tzaneen Magistrate’s Court. Robert Mangalana (51) and Clifford Lubisi (45) are attached to the Tzaneen Traffic Station and they were arrested at a gun shop where it was alleged that they went to buy ammunition for the

firearm in August last year. Preliminary investigations that were conducted revealed that Malangana inherited the firearm from his father but failed to apply for a license to possess it. The case has now been moved to the Tzaneen Regional Court and will be heard again on 7 July. — Gittel Baloyi gittel@bulletin.us.com
‘n Selfoonslenter het sy kop in Tzaneen uitgesteek, waarby niksvermoedende slagoffers met mooi woorde om die bos gelei word. Letaba Locksmiths het verlede week so ‘n stel afgetrap en te laat besef dat dit ‘n skelmspul was. ‘n Man wat gesê het hy boer naby die Eiland, het hulp nodig gehad om sy kluis oop te kry, omdat dit kwansuis R56 000 bevat het wat dringend uitbetaal moes word. Toe ‘n tegnikus later na die gegewe adres vertrek het, het die man weer gebel en vir Vodacom-lugtyd gevra, omdat ontvangs op sy plaas glo swak was. Die eienaar, me Liesl de Lange, het goedge-

lowig twee lugtydstrokies van R275 elk gekoop en saam met die tegnikus gestuur. Onderweg na die plaas het die man weer gebel en die nommers van die strokies gevra. Hy sou die geld by die boerdery se kantoor los, omdat hy glo in die lande besig was. Die tegnikus het voor dooiemansdeur beland, omdat daar nie so ‘n adres in die omgewing was nie. Die voorval is by die polisie aangemeld, waar De Lange verneem het dat die slenter al voorheen sy verskyning gemaak het. Die saak word deur speurders van Tzaneen ondersoek.
Lion poachers appear in court Three suspected white lion poachers appeared briefly in the Namakgale Magistrate’s court on Tuesday on charges of illegal possession of an endangered species. The case was transferred to Tzaneen and the three will remain in custody. This followed their arrest last week, by members of the Rhino Project who were patrolling along the R71 in that area. Upon
searching their vehicle, Rhino Project members found a black bag containing the head, tail and four paws of a white lion. The three suspects are Peter Nathi (41), Alone Mapfumari (41) and Phenius Mngomezulu (34). They will remain in custody until their next court appearance on 29 June. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com
Dit gebeur nou toenemend deur die land dat noodsaaklike werk wat munisipaliteite moet doen maar nie doen nie, deur inwoners en sakelui gedoen word. In Tzaneen is straatherstelwerk onlangs deur indiwidue onder aanvoering van Afriforum gedoen. Nou het mnr Koos Smit van SmitGarrun ingegryp om die gevaar wat skuil in die
omgewing van die groot munisipale ruimte langs die Tzaneen Rolbalklub en die Tzaneen Tennisklub op te ruim. Deel van die terrein is ‘n “groen gebied” en daaraan mag nie sommer gepeuter word nie. Maar daar skuil bosslapers en ander booswigte wat gereeld mense pla en selfs aanval en beroof. Om die groen gebied het lang
gras en bossies die uitsig versper en gemaak dat die hele omgewing ‘n gevaarpunt geraak het. Smit het ‘n arbeider gehuur wat die lang gras gesny en die bossies af te kap. Dit is nou makliker om booswigte oor ‘n afstand te sien en die “groen gebied” is geïsoleer, met die gevolg dat die hele omgewing veiliger is.

Kalm en rasioneel
Die nare gedrog van rassisme het nou sy aaklige en monsteragtige kop ook hier in Tzaneen en omgewing kom uitsteek. Van die dae toe man en muis, swart en wit, in Tzaneen saamgetrek en selfs saam ge-protesoptog het teen pogings om die dorp se naam te verander, is die omgewing gekenmerk deur aangename en goeie verhoudings tussen die verskillende gemeenskappe en groepe. Van buite het mense soms jaloers gepraat oor die vreedsame atmosfeer by ons. Die enkele optogte deur hoofsaaklik ontevrede en stakende munisipale werkers wat rommel in die strate gestrooi en buitebande gebrand het, kon nie die gemoedelike verhoudings noemenswaardig versteur nie. ‘n Paar voorvalle in die afgelope tyd dreig egter nou om die goeie gesindhede te bederf; en daarom is dit belangrik dat mense nou koelkop bly en voorvalle wat na rassisme ruik, rasioneel opweeg en beoordeel. Dit is ewe belangrik dat gemeenskapsleiers en die verantwoordelike en volwasse mense in ons gemeenskappe hulle weerhou van stereotipering; en toesien dat mense wat hulle wel daaraan skuldig maak, tot orde geroep word. Ons moenie toelaat dat skarminkels, wit en swart, se gewoonlik lafhartige gedrag, deur woord en/of daad, as kenmerkend of verteenwoordigend van ‘n groep se gedrag geag word nie. Boonop bring die komende verkiesings tans hoogspanning by mense en ons moet ten alle koste rasioneel optree.

In die uitgawe van 2 Julie 2004 het die Bulletin op die voorblad berig oor die vrees oor plaasaanvalle in die Mopani-distrik, nadat daar ‘n hele paar aanvalle was. Verder is ook gewaarsku dat diewe besig was om toenemend koperkabels te steel, en ook plante (palms, sikadeë en selfs groot volgroeide bome) uitgrawe om dit te verkoop. Plantdiefstal het toe reeds miljoene rand per jaar beloop. ‘n Verdere waarskuwing aan boere was dat hulle moet waak teen mense wat op plase kom soek na grafte van voorvaders, terwyl hul eintlik motief was om die grondeiseproses te probeer omseil of dit uit te buit. Laastens is berig oor ‘n groot staatsondersteunde hidroponiese projek in die omgewing van die Tours-dam (wat sedertdien soos talle ander boerderyprojekte wat met staatsgeld geborg is, ook misluk het).
Jare gelede het daar in ‘n dagblad ‘n strokiesprent verskyn met die titel: “For Better or for Worse”. Dit is later in ‘n Afrikaanse koerant gepubliseer as: “Vir Botter of vir Wors”. Een van daardie strokiesprentjies het gewys hoe ‘n pa by die TV-kamer ingaan, waar sy dogter besig is om televisie te kyk. Hy het besluit om langs haar op die bank neer te val en haar televisie-program met haar te deel. Terwyl hy daar gesit het, het ‘n gedagtesraampie bo sy kop verskyn wat sê: “Ek onthou nog toe sy klein was... hoe ek haar in my arms vasgehou het en met haar gespeel het, haar drukkies gegee het en vir haar gesê het, ek is lief vir haar... sjoe, dit was lekker dae! Kyk nou na haar! Sy is al so groot en kyk net hoe mooi het sy geword! Ek wonder, wat sy van my sal dink, as ek haar weer vashou, net vir ‘n oomblik en weer vir haar sê, hoe verskriklik lief ek haar het... soos in die ou dae?”. Uiteindelik besluit hy daarteen, want sy gaan nie daarvan hou nie en te ongemaklik daaroor voel. Terwyl hy so sit en dink... is daar ook ‘n raampie bo die dogter se kop wat sê: “Ek wonder hoekom druk my pa my nooit meer, soos toe ek klein was nie?” Markus 10: 13-16 vertel ons van kinders, wat ook gesmag het na sulke drukkies. Die nuutse navorsing oor hierdie gedeelte wil dit hê dat hierdie kinders heel waarskynlik straatkinders was. Kinders wat nie ouerlike liefde geken het nie en wat honger was vir aanraking. Toe sien hulle vir Christus! Die Een, wat in sy hele wese liefde is en wat liefde uitgestraal het. Wanneer hierdie kindertjies by Jesus kom, doen Hy ‘n ongelooflike ding. Hy praat nie met hulle nie, maar sit sy arms om hulle en seën hulle. Miskien is dit ‘n beter vertaling as ons sê: “Hy het hulle styf teen Hom vasgedruk!” Christus het geweet, dat al wat hulle op daardie oomblik nodig gehad het, net ‘n klein drukkie was! Hulle was velhonger, hulle was smagtend na liefde en aanraking en Hy het dit raakgesien! Hoe dikwels volg ons nog Christus se wonderlike voorbeeld en gee ons ons kinders ‘n drukkie? Wanneer laas het ek my kind net styf vasgehou en gesê: “Ek is baie lief vir jou?”

The u.11 rugby team of Dr Annecke Primary School in Letsitele outperfomed every other team in their league during this year’s rugby season, and the team is the 2016 Limpopo champs. They also won the champiosnhip last year. Not bad for a (relatively) small school in a rural area! The “Plaasjapies” showed the “Dorpsjapies” how to play the game in true style. Well done boys!
Lim doctors are not happy The Board of the SA Medical Association (SAMA) would like to thank all members in Limpopo for their courage in high-lighting the very difficult working conditions under which they are expected to work by the health department in the province, and how these conditions have impacted negatively on service delivery to patients. They would also like to register their extreme disappointment at how the leadership of the province responded to the appeals from their members for the department’s intervention to address the problems they highlighted. These critical issues include: • Severe deficiencies in equipment and medical consumables, • Numerous vacant and frozen posts at clinical and administrative levels, with many individuals at key provincial health administrative levels being kept in acting positions, • Dysfunctional or non-implementation of salary progression and EPMDS, • Dysfunctional management of overtime and
RWOPS that impedes service delivery, and, • Challenges to professional development that result in doctors being forced to further their careers elsewhere. It is of serious concern that a number of provincial hospitals remain critically understaffed and that there is an ongoing exodus of generalist and specialist doctors from these institutions. In some cases this exodus is leaving the provincial health service with little or no capacity to provide important services within the province, and requires patients to be treated by other provinces, if at all. “SAMA will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the issues raised by our members are addressed. “The Chairman of the SAMA Board and National Council, together with the Chairperson of the Employed Doctor’s Committee, have engaged the leadership of the Limpopo Branch of SAMA, and the provincial Department of Health in Limpopo, to address the concerns of our members. A joint meeting of the National Leadership of SAMA, representatives of the Limpopo
Branch of SAMA, and the provincial DoH, has been arranged to seek a resolution to the problems that exist with the department and various health institutions in Limpopo. “It is our view that the challenges in Limpopo are a microcosm of the general malaise in our public health facilities nation-wide. It is important, therefore, that we make a success of the current engagement with a view of replicating those successes nationally,” SAMA said in a statement. SAMA reiterates its commitment to addressing the challenges faced by their employed members, both within and outside of the public service, and assures these members that the issues they raised are being addressed as a matter of urgency. As a responsible representative body, SAMA calls on its members to continue raising issues that impact on their ability to perform vital duties through the relevant SAMA structures to ensure co-ordinated national and provincial action, and to avoid activities that may compromise their professional and employment statuses.

Local Government & the news that matters Iewers in die berge naby die Modjadji-koninkryk van die Reënkoningin skuil ‘n skouspelagtige versameling van oeroue spelonke wat tot onlangs in geheimhouding gebly het. Die Manokwe Grotte is ‘n maand gelede op die Groter Letaba Munisipaliteit (GLM) se ontwikkelingsplan gelys as ‘n toeristebestemming wat jaarliks duisende avontuursoekers en toeriste kan lok. Dit is die eerste amptelike verwysing na dié natuurwonder langs Malematja Village, nadat dit vir eeue vir die publiek versweë gebly het. Net enkele speleoloë het daarvan geweet, terwyl kennis oor die grotte in verhale oorvertel is. Dit bestaan uit ‘n hoofgrot, wat in die berg noordwes van die Modjadji-koninkryk open en vir minstens tien kilometer deur die berg se ingewande strek tot naby Mooketsi. Dit word aangevul deur nog ‘n vertakking verder noordoos, met ‘n aansluitingspunt iewers in die buik van die berg. Die Bulletin het die grot Maandag besoek, op uitnodiging van die GLM se skakelbeampte, me Lovers Maenetje, en mnr Refilwe Mafotjo, ‘n beampte van die GLM se afdeling vir ekonomiese ontwikkeling. Saam met ons was mnr Nick Wright, die bestuurder van Spar in Modjadjiskloof en gereelde grotbesoeker. Hy het reeds al die prominentste grotte in Suid-Afrika verken, maar die Manokwe het hom tot dié week ontwyk. Mnr Eric Selowa wat in die omgewing woon, het as gids opgetree. Hy ken meer as een roete na die ingange van die grotkompleks. Om daar te kom, moet ‘n toegangsprotokol eers met die Modjadji-koningshuis gevolg word. Dan volg ‘n roete van Modjadjiskloof deur Kgapane op teer, plaveiselpad en soms
Manokwe word herontdek

LINKS ONDER: Huis nommer 0011 in Malematja Village is die keerpunt vir voertuie na die grot. Hiervandaan is dit voetslaan, met ‘n steil voetpad teen die berg op.

byna onbegaanbare grondpad tot waar die toeganklikheid vir voertuie by huis nommer 0011 in Malematja Village eindig. Hiervandaan is dit te voet tot in ‘n dal tus-
sen heuwel en berg, waarvandaan die paadjie al smaller en skuinser word. Minstens ‘n kilometer berg-op verskyn die grot se ingang — netjies verskuil agter groot bome teen die
hang van die berg. Die klimtog tot daar is in dié stadium beslis nie vir die onfikses of bejaardes bedoel nie. ‘n Eerste indruk was dat die natuur hierdie tonnels teen indringing wou beskerm, want die ingang is byna verseël met afvalrotse. Wright het deur een van die klein openinge geklouter en aan die binnekant op die eerste ruim vertrek afgekom waar hy regop kon staan. Dit was die begin van ‘n tien kilometer spelonk wat nie sonder skerp ligte en veiligheidstoerusting aangepak kan word nie, sê Wright. Binne was die begindeel van die grot belaai met derduisende vlermuise, ‘n gwano-reuk, beendere en oorblyfsels van vuurherde. Verhale wat oorvertel word, lui onder meer dat die voorgeslag van die Modjadji-stam laat in die 17de eeu uit gebiede noord van Limpopo gevlug en hulle in die heuwels van Modjadjiskloof (Duiwelskloof) kom vestig het. Hier het die legendariese verhaal van die reënko-ningin begin. Die grot het destyds as toevlugsoord gedien, wanneer die inwoners deur vyandige stamme aangeval is. Sekere dele van die grot is glo so groot dat veekuddes daarin versteek kon word. Om Manokwe vir toeriste te ontwikkel, gaan baie tyd en geld vereis. Die GLM het die afgelope twee jaar R400 000 bestee aan ‘n omgewingsimpakstudie van die grot. ‘n Aanvanklike bedrag van R1,6 miljoen is in die onlangse begroting goedgekeur, vir die omheining van die grot-ingang en die bou van toilette, asook huisvesting vir veiligheidswagte. Maenetje het gesê as genoeg geld in die komende jare beskikbaar word, kan die grot een van die grootste toeriste-aantrekkings in Suid-Afrika word en ‘n waardevolle bron van inkomste vir die munisipaliteit en plaaslike inwoners bied.

Prison for two Sasol assailants The two men accused of beating up Mr Joseph Monyela, a petrol attendant at the R71 Sasol filling station in Tzaneen, pleaded guilty and were sentenced to time behind bars in the Tzaneen Magistrate’s Court on Monday. Hermanus van Dyk (36) and Danie le Roux (27) appeared in court on charges of assault and crimen injuria after their unprovoked attack on Monyela. Their appearance in court was ex-
pected to be a postponement as it would only be there second appearance but, in a surprise development both men pleaded guilty. Magistrate Helen Mkansi sentenced Van Dyk to two years in prison without a fine for assault GBH and crimen injuria, and Le Roux to eighteen months behind bars for assault GBH without a fine. The attack, which occurred two weeks ago, was caught on CCTV footage and was quickly circulated
across social media platforms, which sparked instant uproar from the community who believed the assault to have been racially motivated. This, in turn, provoked a response by trade union COSATU who was granted permission to stage a march in Tzaneen against racism. The Tzaneen community panicked and soon warnings of impending violent protests and possible looting were circulated. Business owners in the centre of
town closed shop for the day and schools were warned to keep children safe. Despite COSATU refuting claims of a violent protest action, many still cried wolf. Monday morning came and a peaceful anti-racism march from the GTM down through the centre of town was conducted in a very orderly fashion. The few hundred strong group of activists made their way to the Magistrate’s Court building, singing struggle songs and brandishing placards reading #racismmustfall and “only laundry should be separated by colour”. Not one building was damaged nor one business looted as the warnings preached a week before. Outside the court building, the members congregated opposite a larger group of EFF supporters and patiently awaited the outcome

of the accused court appearance. “Racism has no place in our country and certainly not in the town of Tzaneen,” said Mr Gerald Mkhomazi Twala, COSATU’s Provincial Secretary. “Sure, this last incident is an isolated one, but the problem runs deep in our community and affects both black and white members of society. There is not one person that can say all white people are racist, or all black people are racist and therefore this march is not aimed at any one demographic in particular.” — Joe Dreyer

Photographer takes ikasi to Innibos Bulletin’s photojournalist, Joe Dreyer, was invited to exhibit some of his photographic works at the Innibos Arts Festival this week in Mbombela. It is the second consecutive year that he will be exhibiting, upon invitation from Pretoria-based art curator, John-Anthony Boerma of Artscape, at the biggest festival in the country. Last year, along with his Innibos exhibition, Joe worked on a project entitled “This woman’s work” for the Grahamstown Arts Festival. The exhibit was purchased by the Depart-
ment of Arts and Culture and later made its way around the United Kingdom as part of the Afro Vibes Tour and is currently in London awaiting transportation back to South Africa. “Joe’s work has an emotional, raw element to them which forces you to feel what he felt, rather than see what he saw,” said avid art critic, Golda Deeks of Bardolino Artists Retreat. Each year the festival has a theme of sorts and this year, every artist was talked with expressing “Dream Big” in whichever way they felt best. Joe, chose photographs of township
children playing soccer on an abandoned gravel pitch with a tattered leather ball. “He falls under the category of Fringe Artist, and currently he is the only photographer exhibiting at the festival along with some of the country’s top artists,” said Boerma. If you are travelling to Mbombela this weekend to attend Innibos, stop by the Mbombela Arts Gallery to view his and other artists’ work on display until Sunday afternoon. —Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se opedag vir laerskole is onlangs gehou. Die openingseremonie het die besoekende gr 7’s vasgenael in hul sitplekke gehou — van die vuurdanse tot by die verskeie ander aktiwiteite. Die graad 7’s kon ‘n voorsmakie kry van die Vossie-gees. Die besoekers het vet pret gehad by die verskeie besoekpunte. Daar was punte waar hulle van al die ‘ernstige’ dinge van die Hoërskool-ervaring, soos akademie, kennis kon neem; en daar was ook die boeresportpunte waar spanwerk en geesdrif hoogty gevier het. Die tema van die dag was ‘Olimpiese Spele’, wat gepas by die skool se leuse, ‘Stry tot oorwinning’, aangesluit het. Die besoekers kon deel in die Vossie-familie se spanwerk deur die
Olimpiese Spele se simbool op die rugbyveld te help vorm. Elke kleur het ‘n element van Vossie-wees — akademie, sport, kultuur, koshuislewe, sosiaal en
godsdiens — gesimboliseer. Vir die afsluiting het almal gekyk hoe honderde ballonne, in die kleure van die Olimpiese Spele, losgelaat is.

Lions en Sharks wys tande in Superstryd Twee van die hoogtepunte van die internasionale sportjaar, Wimbledon en die Tour de France, word dié naweek regstreeks op televisie uitgesaai. Maar vir baie kykers is die rugbywedstryd tussen die Lions en die Sharks die hoofdis én die nagereg op die spyskaart. Van die nege Superreekswedstryde wat uitgesaai word, sal die een op Ellispark gewis die emosies van kykers in Suid-Afrika die hoogste laat vlam. Die Chiefs en Crusaders se vatmekaar in Nieu-Seeland kan egter die sprankelendste rugby oplewer. Die Stormers en die Bulls speel in Australië en Argentinië, waar die Rebels en Jaguares hulle nie met gawes sal oorlaai nie. Die Franse Ope, wat Retief Goosen in 1999 gewen het, is een van vier groot gholftoernooie wat uitgesaai word en strawwe mededinging en spanning sal oplewer.
Parents and guests who were also present at the opening: Messrs Oscar Filen and Sean Stirling and Mss Christaine Stirling, Linda Janke and Leigh Harty.

Stanford Lake College recently hosted the opening of their new state-of-the-art High Performance Centre. The event welcomed around 200 guests, eager to have a look around this much awaited facility. Mr Lebogang Montjane, the Executive Director of the Independent Schools Association of South Africa (ISASA), who was the guest of honour for the afternoon, and the Headmaster, Mr Craig Carolan, officially opened the HPC with a small ceremony. The HPC is a multipurpose sports facility built to provide the pupils and the community with access to top class sports training facilities.
While the full potential of the HPC will only be realised in the years to come, the senior management team identified three specific activities on which they will focus for the first few months: squash, swimming and the gym. The aim is to provide high quality training to Stanford pupils in these three areas before expanding the field of sporting activities. While Stanford Lake College pupils will always remain the main focus, the HPC is, of course, open to the general public. Member-

Drie Vossies vir Lim-span… Drie
Die wenners: Christopher Atherstone, Wilhelm Groenewald, Gielie de Kock, Henco Prinsloo en Jan de Kock. Dié span het die mededingers moeilike ure op die baan besorg.
Rolbal was weer vol pret Khanyisa Chawane, wat in 2014 aan die Hoërskool Ben Vorster gematrikuleer het, het die afgelope naweek vir die SA o.21-netbalspan op die baan gedraf. Die span het drie toetse teen Wallis gespeel en Khanyisa was in die begin sewespan vir elke toets. Sy is as speler van die wedstryd vir die laaste toets en beste senter van die toernooi aangewys. Khanyisa speel vir die afgelope twee jaar vir die Vrystaat se o.19span en het ook die Vrystaat vanjaar in die semi-professionele liga verteenwoordig. Voor dit was sy deel van die SA o.17-skolespan in 2013 en sy was op die lys van Top35 o.18-spelers by die SA-netbaltoernooi in 2014. Khanyisa is tans in haar tweede jaar by Kovsies, waar sy vir ‘n B Sc-graad studeer.
Die gewilde sakeliga rolbaltoernooi wat oor die afgelope klompie weke op Donderdagaande beslis is, was weer ‘n “rasende” sukses. Die spesiale liga word twee keer per jaar deur die Tzaneen Rolbalklub en Bulletin aangebied. Die toernooi bied ‘n ideale geleentheid om vriende te maak en vir sakelui om hul sake-
netwerk uit te brei. Vanjaar was daar weer ‘n waglys van spanne wat teleurgesteld moes omdraai, omdat die belangstelling baie groter was as die hoeveelheid spanne wat op die beskikbare bane kan speel. Na elke Donderdagaand se spel is daar ook lekker gekuier, vleis gebraai en visitekaartjies uitgeruil. Die gewild-
heid van die liga groei steeds en die mededinging raak ook al heftiger, soos die spelers die slag begin kry om die balle meer akkuraat te rol. Die afgelope liga is deur die span van BRBF gewen, die Fit Freaks was tweede en die Buffel Cafeteria se span het in die derde plek geëindig.

Met die Wen-met-Ses-punte-per-Toets-reeks teen Ierland iets van die verlede is dit tyd dat daar daadwerklik aandag gegee word aan die stand van ons rakbie. Nie net in SA nie, maar die hele suidelike halfrond. ‘Tja, Oubal hoor die ouens wat sê daar skort niks met NZ-rakbie nie en dat hulle inderdaad ligjare verwyder is van die planeet waarop die res van ons bly. Maar Oubal is nie so seker dat dit vir altyd so gaan bly nie, hoe na aan heiligskennis dit ook mag wees om so-iets net te dink, laat staan van sê. Natuurlik praat Oubal hier van wat laer af gebeur en meer spesifiek wat gebeur het in die pas afgelope o.20 Rakbie WB. Vanuit ‘n SA oogpunt is dit te verstane dat Dawie Theron gegroet het deur te sê die KleinBokkies se vertoning was vir hom ‘n enorme teleurstelling. Vir ons ook Dawie, vir ons ook, mag jy beter vaar daar in Japan, en mag jou opvolger raker vat en meer kreatief wees. Tja, die ouens wat dink hulle weet, vertel vir Oubal dat die 2014 o.18-oesjaar die swakste in jare was, maar die ouens wat dink hulle weet van nog beter sê die o.20-keurders het die kluts kwyt geraak. Van die 2014 SA Skolespan, het slegs nege vanjaar se o.20-groep gehaal, wat aangevul is deur vyf van die 2015-span — ‘n skamele veertien uit die totale groep van 28. Iewers is iets nie reg nie in die identifisering van spelers as slegs die helfte van die span op laer vlak goed genoeg geag was om SA te verteenwoordig, laat staan nog die belaglikheid dat een van ons stutte verlede jaar nog vir sy skool op

flank/slot uitgedraf het (seker die merkwaardigste transformasie na ‘n spesialis posisie in menseheugenis!). ‘n Mens wonder of die fout by die skole- of o.20-keurders lê, of dalk albei. Hoe dit ook al sy, die geploeter was nêrens duideliker as teen Engeland in die halfeindstryd en twee keer teen Argentinië nie — manne teen seuns was die gedagte wat by Oubal opgekom het in afgryslike loesings. Die gevaarligte flikker duidelik en helder, maar nie net vir SA nie, want kyk ‘n mens na die finale stand van die o.20-spanne, lyk die prentjie so: 1. Engeland, 2. Ierland, 3. Argentinië, 4. Suid-Afrika, 5. Nieu-Seeland, 6. Australië. Nie een van die SH se drie voorste spanne kan besonder trots op dié stand van sake wees nie. Meer kommerwekkend is dat Engeland drie uit die laaste vyf toernooie gewen het en een keer naaswenner was, met Ierland en Wallis ook elkeen een keer naaswenner. Die prentjie is duidelik — die NH spanne is besig om vinnig op junior vlak vordering te maak, en die SH is besig om

agter te raak. Oubal vrees dat hierdie tendens uiteindelik gaan deursuurdeeg tot op senior vlak, as dit nie alreeds gebeur het nie, gemeet aan Engeland en Ierland se vertonings in die onlangse reekse. Oubal wil hom verstout deur te sê NZ is ook nie immuun daarteen nie. Natuurlik is daar ‘n rede hiervoor — die ouens wat weet vertel vir Oubal die NH, veral Engeland, het akademies waar hulle al van o.16-vlak af met spelers begin werk. Boonop speel hul o.20-spanne in ‘n gelyklopende Sesnasies-toernooi, en is dus by verre beter voorbereid vir die Junior WB. Die oplossing? Oubal dink dis hoog tyd dat SANZAAR aandag gee aan die probleem en juniorspanne deel maak van die SH Kampioenskapstrofee. Die groot probleem is natuurlik dat laasgenoemde plaasvind ná die o.20 WB, maar ‘n oplossing is om ons plaaslike o.19-kompetisies te vervroeg, en ons nasionale o.19-spanne in die SH Viernasies te laat speel. Dit behoort die keurders ‘n goeie idee te gee van wie kan en wie kan nie, en ons spanne behoort beter voorbereid te wees vir die volgende jaar se o.20 WB. Sal ons wyse manne luister? Oubal is nie daarvan oortuig nie! “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.” — Confucius
