Mediclinic Tzaneen’s staff underwent their annual fire-fighting training amid the brooding presence of cyclone Dineo yesterday morning. Frikkie Schoeman of Modjadji First Aid conducted the drill and was well impressed at the staff’s commitment and eagerness to the cause. Seen here is debtor’s clerk, Kisha Pienaar, extinguishing the mock fire.

situation aﬀects children from all across the province’s demographics. “I do not see colour, all I see are our children who are in need of better facilities to increase their opportunities within this sporting code. I steer away from political agendas and racial mudslinging because that has no place here.” Maluleke admitted that the facilities were not ideal, but added that the organizing committee and sporting body were not responsible for the maintenance or reparations of the stadium as the property belongs to the municipality. In this instance, that municipality is the GTM. Regarding the apparent misconduct by the oﬃcials and their alleged failure to adequately monitor the event, Maluleke agreed to meet in person to highlight their challenges. Read next week’s Bulletin for details of that exclusive one-on-one interview.

The GTM is fully aware of the dastardly conditions of the stadium as they often utilize the facility as a venue for their events and public gatherings. They do not have the necessary funds to maintain the track according to their spokesperson, Neville Ndlala. “We are aware of the state of the track and as you know we host events at the stadiums. Trucks and vehicles drive across the tracks to pitch up tents etc,” Ndlala stated. “We can only put the programme as part of the IDP projects and it has not yet been approved, or budgeted for this current ﬁnancial year. We do not have funds for repairs at the moment.” In the meantime, the Mopani district held their annual athletics championships for Primary and Secondary schools for ages 10 -19 at Nkowankowa stadium this past week. The MEC for Sports , Arts and Culture, Onica Moloi, was present at this meeting. During

his address to the athletes he promised that he and the department would offer their full support to all the athletes in the region. Why his department has not publically spoken out about the state of the region’s facilities is not clear. We have sent an official enquiry to his office and will report on their feedback next week. — Joe Dreyer

Our report on the state of the Nkowankowa stadium’s athletics facilities has sparked some controversy over social media this week. Bulletin focussed on the dilapidated state of the tartan track and the apparent inability of the oﬃcials and track judges to enforce certain standards during the recent Mopani Circuit championships hosted at that stadium this month. We tried in vain to obtain comment from top management at Athletics South Africa (ASA) and Schools Athletics South Africa (SASA). After an open discussion over social media which quickly turned into yet another racial debate, the chairperson of Mopani District Athletics and secretary of Limpopo Athletics, Peter Maluleke, contacted our oﬃce. During our telephonic discussion Maluleke slammed the racial slurs made by some members of his organization saying that the

The suspect arrested for the murder of Pats Truter (79) of Mookgopong (Naboomspruit), appeared in the Magistrate’s court there last week Thursday. He faced a charge of murder and the case was postponed until later this month. Mashadi Alfred Tladi (27) was

arrested shortly after Truter’s body was found in her garage in the Golfpark security complex by a neighbour two weeks ago. It appeared as though she was strangled with a thin nylon rope and her body neatly covered under towels and a rug. Her arms had been crossed over her chest post-mortem. Evidence has come to light that Tladi used to work in Truter’s garden. The victim is the mother of wellknown Letsitele preacher, Pastor Jan

Truter. The motive for the crime was not initially apparent as it appeared that nothing had been stolen from her home. Upon his arrest however, items were found in Tladi’s possession which previously belonged to the victim including a cell phone, jewellery and a set of keys. Bulletin will report on this case as it unfolds. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Suspect arrested in Wiers murder A 25-year old man appeared in the Polokwane Magistrate’s court last week Thursday in connection with the brutal murder of Tanya Wiers (44) at her home in that city on Tuesday. Frans Maela will remain in custody until the 16th of February for his oﬃcial bail application. Wiers, a former resident of Tzaneen, was brutally murdered on the afternoon of 7th February at her home in Eduan Park, Polokwane. Her half-na-

ked body was found in her youngest daughter’s room by her 16-year old son when he came home from school. She had suﬀered 21 stab wounds on her body and her eyes were removed. The killer had allegedly scratched the name “Tefo” into the wooden cupboard beside her body. It was reported that the knife used by the killer in the attack had been washed clean and placed back into the knife block in the Wiers’ kitchen, but

Suspect arrested in Nel attack One man has been arrested and a stolen vehicle recovered following the attack on an elderly couple in Letsitele on Sunday. Ben (75) and Martie Nel (50) were allegedly overpowered by two suspects who entered their home on Gunyala plot 71 at around 03:00 on Sunday morning. The men were allegedly wearing balaclavas and armed with knives and a steel pipe. According to reports the couple were assaulted before the suspects robbed them of their cell phones and other belongings and ﬂed in their navy blue VW golf. The news was quickly spread

over social media and later that afternoon a suspect was apprehended and the couple’s vehicle recovered in a dry river bed near Rikhotso village. This latest attack bring the total number of farm attacks in our area to four in the past month alone. It is unclear whether any other suspects had been arrested and police investigations continue. At the time of going to print no further information was made available to the media. — Joe Dreyer

Prevention is the cure

Photo by Joe Dreyer “Responding to crime is not enough to curb the rise in house robberies, business breakins and farm attacks in and around Tzaneen. A more proactive approach to the prevention of crime is the only way to force criminal elements out of our community,” said Letaba Alarms owner, Leon Coomans. He was addressing the impact that his newly launched Peace Oﬃcer service will have on crime in Tzaneen. Coomans and his partner, Nathi Sedibe, said that a change in strategy has been a long time coming and four years ago they started looking at the practicality of sector policing. Sector policing is a UK-based policing model that adopts a far more decentralised approach

to policing. It is intended to address root causes of crime at specific geographical locations within a community, in partnership with particular communities at local level. It can therefore be seen as a ‘tailor made’ policing approach created to suit specific local needs. “It really is quite brilliant,” Coomans explained, “you see, currently all security officers from anywhere around Tzaneen face the problem of response time and available manpower. By dividing Tzaneen into sectors and manning those specific areas with dedicated peace officers, we cut the response time in half, while simultaneously providing visible policing in your neighbourhood.” The division of the town into smaller man-

agerial sectors and the assignment of Peace Officers to these areas on a full time basis immediately increases efficacy and acts as a deterrent to would-be criminals Sector policing also encourages constant contact with members of the local communities on a very personal level. “The officers stationed down your street, for example, will become familiar with the movements in your neighbourhood, they will know your family and your children, your neighbours and will pick up instantly if something doesn’t seem right. They won’t have to wait for you to push a panic button before they investigate.” The new Peace Officers also have the pow-

ers take witness statements, conduct random stop and searches, make arrests and confiscate contraband which will greatly assist the SAPS in making Tzaneen a safe community for all its residents. Look out for the newly branded Letaba Alarms vehicles and get to know your Peace Officers in your area. A K-9 unit is added to the mix with three tracker dogs and a narcotics hound, said to join the team soon. A complete roll out of the areas will be announced as soon as all the necessary documentations and strategies have been finalised. This initiative is backed by the Tzaneen SAPS and the Greater Tzaneen Municipality. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Nissan Navara - Rugged Redefined Nissan has a long history of building strong, dependable pickups. With each new model the boundaries of innovation are pushed even further to provide you with everything you need to get the job done. And now it’s time to experience the next generation Navara. The newest beast to the stable was unveiled at an intimate launch function in Tzaneen on Friday. To emphasise the introduction of cutting edge technology in this latest rendition of the trusted all-terrain wagon, a team of brand ambassadors treated clients to a virtual test-drive in the Navara through the use of the virtual reality hardware, the acclaimed Oculus. Through the use of this technology clients experienced a drive in the new Navara through desert terrain, as a passenger, with a driver showing oﬀ the various additions and improvements to the already impressive 2015 model. The bold exterior design, sleek aerodynamic shapes and distinctive LED lighting

signatures of the all-new Navara produce a striking visual impression, raising the bar for style in the pick-up segment. You’ll ﬁnd fantastic levels of comfort and space in every seat. Up front, seats inspired by the feeling of zero gravity create neutral posture and

help make long drives more comfortable. Automatic air conditioning with dual-zone climate control means you and your passengers can tailor the temperature individually. It combines a tough, working pedigree, with premium ride comfort, smart technolo-

gies, and sleek, modern styling. All of which means you can step from a day on the job, to a night on the town without missing a beat. It roars Generating more power, with fuel eﬃciency improvements over the outgoing model of 24%, the new 2.3-litre 140 kW twin-turbo

road driving in sand or deep mud, or twowheel drive for when you’re on tarmac. With features such as Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control, it’s the bakkie that’s ready for anything, giving great traction even in two-wheel drive mode thanks to its electronic Limited Slip Diﬀerential (eLSD).

diesel engine has 450Nm of torque, delivering fantastic acceleration and performance. Whether you’re looking to pull a heavy load at work, or for a weekend away, the Nissan Navara makes it easy... mustering up the grunt to pull a massive 3,500kg braked towing capacity. Whether it’s in the depths of the bush or the concrete jungle, the all-new Navara is always in its element. There are three driving modes -- four-wheel drive High for light oﬀ-roading, four-wheel drive Low for serious oﬀ-

It has a fully boxed ladder chassis rather than the three-sided channel-section frame found on some other pick-ups. There’s also the new ﬁve-link rear suspension, unique in the pick-up segment. This gives a better ride and more agile handling, without compromising load-carrying ability. For a test drive or for more information on this fantastic new oﬀering from one of the world’s leading manufacturers, please give the boys at BB Motors Tzaneen a call on 015 307 4950 or visit their showroom in Danie Joubert Street.

It was a berry delicious festival Fresh blueberries, prickly pears, fruit and vegetables and live music set the trend for a healthy, happy and well-supported Berry Festival in and around Haenertsburg this weekend. Gin was the overall favourite tipple. Safari Wines, besides their exceptional wines, are also promoting several gins including ClemenGold, Wilderer Fynbos, Six Dogs and Musgrave Pink. Local Mark Dando sold his entire stock of light pink Blueberry Gin within three hours. Ladies loves the soft colouring and the fresh yet subtle taste. Mark’s distillery is on a farm near Westfalia. The RND (Research and Development) took six months. He will be in full production by March and will support the diﬀerent craft gins in the country. Mark says, “The colour of my gin fades in time, so drink up! However, adding tonic

to the gin revives the colour.” Rachel Mokhomla, who manned the little fruit and vegetable cart, sold all her fresh produce within hours as well. Dennis Table from Pretoria showcased his beadwork and was especially proud to show his latest work of art – a VW beetle made out of wire, with a liftable front boot and even a spare tyre inside. Lecha Beneke from Pretoria made the biggest candy ﬂoss ever and watching her from scratch to ﬁnish was a treat. Every stall and restaurant had something berry related, be it food or drink. — Sue Ettmayr sue.ettmayr@gmail.com

Our Opinion

The Message

What censorship does The latest information on the attack is as follows. The 50-year old lady and a 75-year old man were attacked by two suspects wearing balaclavas and armed with knives and a steel pipe. The suspects entered the home through the front door at 03:00 this morning. The elderly man was not assaulted seriously, but the lady was raped three times. Items that were stolen from the property were an iphone, a nokia cell phone, a Samsung tablet and a navy blue VW Golf CDC344L. The lady has undergone the neccessary medical examinations and received neccessary medication. The suspects have been identified and are known to the area and SAPS, CPF members, Large Security, Northern Security, Deerpark Farmwatch, K9 Security, Afriforum Tzaneen and Letaba Brandwag are still on their trail. A helicopter is assisting from the air. One suspect has been arrested and will appear on charges of rape, houserobbery and theft. An elderly man was attacked on a farm in the Letsitele area earlier this morning. Details are sketchy at the moment, but he is believed to be a renter on California plot 42. According to information available, the victim was overpowered by three suspects. He was badly beaten before the robbers made off with a safe. The safe contained a shotgun, a revolver, a 303 hunting rifle and some jewellery of undetermined value. It is believed that the victim was alone on the farm as his landlord was out of town for the weekend. The name of the victim cannot be confirmed and we are not sure if his family have been alerted as yet. The man is said to be in a coma in the Letaba hospital and no arrests have yet been made. The suspects fled on foot in the direction of Mamitwa. SAPS units and detectives combed the scene for fingerprints and a manhunt is currently underway. Our job is a thankless one, but it is important for us to report on all the gory details so that we can keep our community informed. You need to hear what you don’t want to hear as much as what we have to see what we don’t want to see. It is very easy for bystanders to label us as attention seekers and sensationalists, but what if we never told you? We report on facts which are confirmed by various sources including the SAPS. And yes, we also feel the pain of the victims, and we grieve for them because what you might not always remember is that we are also part of the community and what affects you, affects us and our families too.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Have you ever witnessed a tragic event; perhaps, a serious car accident or someone drowning and were not able to do a thing? Maybe it was due to your physical inability or lack of knowledge? Maybe, it was just due to the fact that you were scared and did not want to get involved? However, there was a way that you could of reacted and that was by praying and believing that God would intervene. We often disregard the power of prayer, but miracles still happen today, sometimes we do not see them as miracles but as mere co-incidents. The police or para-medics were close by and were able to rescue those involved, but what if there was no one? The thought goes through your mind what could I have done? One must know that it is not always possible to do the impossible, yet it can happen. If we look at the scriptures there are many incidents that happened when people felt useless or did not see anyway out. For instance: when the Israelites were feeling for the Egyptians they came across the Red Sea, it seemed they had no way out and would be recaptured by their oppressors. Yet, Moses prays about it and gets the instruction to stretch out his walking rod and the Red Sea parts. This instruction came from God and Moses obeyed and believed. We often pray but seldom believe that God has heard our prayers. It is all about faith and how strong our belief in God is. We are mere mortals and often have fears and trust issues. Our everyday lives have many twists and turns and yet we get through. We must believe that God is in control. I believe that God empowers us all in some way to do something about any situation even if it is how small, a cry for help, the ability to call someone for help. As witness to this, sometime ago a young man was involved in a car accident, his father was busy fixing a pump on his farm and it was known that there was no cell phone signal where he was busy, yet his phone rang and he was able to communicate with us. Miracle or co-incident? I believe it was God’s intervention as I had prayed about getting through to the farmer. There are many such incidents that have happened and others can confirm this. So let us all have faith in the power of God, let us continue to pray into all situations, not only on our own but with others. Unified prayer can work wonders. Blessings Ron

Book launch in the village ‘Confronting the Corrupt,’ is a recently published book by Advocate Paul Hoffman. Invited by Haenertsburg Rotary and speaking in the village hall, Advocate Hoffman said that his book is compulsory reading for anyone concerned with the rule of law in South Africa. A self confessed workaholic, Advocate Hoffman looks at why the country is in such a mess and offers a solution. He says that establishing an Integrity Commission is the best way to combat corruption in SA today. Advocate Hoffman studied law at the University of the Witwatersrand, took silk in 1995 and continued to practice at the Cape Bar. In 2006 he left the Cape Bar in order to take up an appointment as Director of the Centre of Constitutional Rights. Since Jan

2009 he’s been pursuing his passion for exacting accountability via setting up and working with The Institute for Accountability in southern Africa and pursuing various human rights and constitutional matters. He said everyone should read the booklet on the constitution and become an active citizen. “Citizens should strive for the implementation of open, accountable and responsive governance. These three values are foundational to our supreme law.” Advocate Hoﬀman advised listeners to use the constitution. He said, “It stands between us and Armageddon.” ‘Confronting the Corrupt’ is a book for all South Africans who believe that a better life for all is best achieved by respecting the

Most of us can swim, and in fact for many of us a holiday means fun in the sun either at the beach or at the poolside back home. We take swimming for granted, but how many of you have stopped to think about those who actually don’t know how to swim? And not only small children either, there are many teenagers and even adults who have a fear of the water for precisely that reason. There are many reasons why teaching your child to swim is important – the most important obviously being safety. But think about the impact it can have on your child in their later years if they are the only one in their high school class who can’t swim, or participate in school galas. You open them up for bullying and emotional trauma by the other kids.

At Christine Spengler Swimming Academy in Tzaneen we take a different approach to learning to swim. We focus on the individual and we make the experience a fun, informative adventure. Children from as young as but a few months old have already gained the important skill of knowing how to swim to the side of the pool in the event that they should somehow accidentally fall in when unaccompanied. Mom or dad. We host our classes at an indoor swimming pool in Second Avenue and offer morning and afternoon classes to suit your busy schedule. We cater for all ages. For more information contact Christine Spengler on 083659-3050 or send her an email waterjunkiestzn@gmail.com to book your first class.

New school opens Martie Fourie and Helen Beling have opened Little Learners Academy in Tzaneen. It is situated down a quiet leafy, unmarked but multi-signed bricked road, at the side of the Catholic Church. Helen did home schooling until Little Learners Academy came up. The two women worked side-byside and in two months painted and fixed the structure that was once Aida. There are classrooms and a reading room and all tastefully yet practically furnished. The two teachers also built the fence with a gate, numbered 58, around the school. Martie ran Forest Hill in Haenertsburg for eight years and prior to that spent 13 years at King’s Abdu Shaikh, Aamir Dagra, Retha Mostert, Marius Mostert, Muhammad Bapuji.

Die onderwysers het opdragte, wat deur die spelleier gegee is, uitgevoer sonder dat hulle geweet het wat op hulle wag. Die aand het afgeskop met die gasspreker, Cedric, wat ouers en kinders kom toespreek het oor hóé en waar om jou “passion” te vind. Cedric en sy twee vriende sal later in die jaar weer invlieg om hulle wyshede met ons te kom deel. ‘n Paar sangers het ook ‘n draai kom maak – Barbie,Ken en selfs Elvis het kom kuier. Die Vossies en

However, junk food is allowed on Fridays. It teaches the children the diﬀerence between healthy and unhealthy food. There are also fun activities with regular planned excursions or diversions. The Spur team came last week and there’s an upcoming visit to the Letaba Eco Lodge. — Sue Ettmayr

The Tzaneen Bowls Club/Bulletin Business League Bowls tournament kicked off last week, with twenty four teams battling it out on the greens of the Tzaneen Bowls Club for the top spot. This friendly tournament is played annually with networking and friendly fellowship as the main aim, with teams consisting of both seasoned players and those resembling the shade of green upon which they at-

tempted to bowl. In the spirit of fun, the sponsors of the league (Bulletin), entered their own team again this year and although many of the members had never set foot near the bowling clubhouse, let alone attempted to roll a ball of their own, certainly had a great time. For an updated log and leader board, visit our website at www.bulletin.us.com and grab a copy of Bulletin next week.

Bullseye for Merensky archers

Front: Martin Mostert (Silver), Ryan Jackson, Canell Jackson (Bronze), Lin-Mari Theron (Silver), Morney Kleinhans (Silver), Sean Hunt (Bronze), Beneche Jackson (Silver), Janco Theron (Silver). Back: Mr Ockert le Roux (Gold), Dewald Wagenaar, Helgardt Horn (Bronze), Andre van der Merwe (Gold).

This weekend 14 of Merensky’s best archers travelled to Pretoria and braved what is described as one of the toughest competitions in the sport, namely the Triple Crown Leg 1 ABO/3Di, hosted at Magnum Archery. This adventurous range of 22 butts is set in a natural hunting environment over a distance of 1 to 4km. During this event the archers are divided into groups of four and aim at 3D animal targets as they would appear in their natural surroundings. Participants are scored based on their groupings on the target. This type of competition is challenging in the respect that it forces the archers to navigate rocky and often uneven terrain loaded with shrubbery, trees and outcrops which obscure the view. The targets are placed over distances ranging between 10 and 60 meters and archers compete accord-

ing to draw weight, sex and age. The course usually takes six nail biting hours to complete. Merensky Archers palmed many accolades and both teams claimed podium positions. The second team, consisting of Helgardt Horn, Sean Hunt, Dewald Haagner and De Marco Meyer, earned bronze medals for third place overall while the ﬁrst team comprising of Lin-Mari Theron, Ryan Jackson, Canell Jackson and André van der Merwe battled their way to second position and earned silver. During the competition Lin-Mari Theron and André van der Merwe achieved two provincial qualifying scores whilst Mr Ockert le Roux, Ryan Jackson, Sean Hunt, De Marco Meyer, Benéche Jackson, Dawie and Janco Theron all attained one Provincial qualiﬁer.

Vossies boulers kniehalter Jeugland Hoërskool Ben Vorster het die afgelope naweek hul stempel op die krieketveld afgedwing deur met 146 lopies teen Hoërskool Jeugland in Kemptonpark te seëvier. Dit was tydens die jaarlikse Finsbury toernooi. Die Vossies het die loot gewen en besluit om eerste te kolf. Jimmy Modiba en Vernon Harms het ‘n goeie begin vir die Rooies verseker met hul 99-lopie vennootskap om die eerste paaltjie. Franco Oberholzer en Atwell Mokgoloboto se vennootskap van 68 lopies om die vierde paaltjie het die Vossies gehelp om 244/10 in 46 boulbeurte aan te teken. Vernon Harms (met 42 lopies), Franco

Oberholzer (met 40 lopies) en Jimmy Modiba (met 36 lopies) het as kolwers uitgeblink. Jeugland was vroeg in hulle beurt in die moeilikheid nadat hulle vier paaltjies vir net 23 lopies verloor het. Goeie gedissiplineerde boulwerk en uitstekende veldwerk deur die Vossies het Jeugland onder druk gehou. Die besoekers het in die 26ste boulbeurt die knie gebuig met almal uit vir 98 lopies. Die beste boulers op die dag was Wilco Jansen van Rensburg (2/0 in 1 beurt), Cobus Geldenhuys (2/9 in 2 beurte) en Johan Harms (2/17 in 4 beurte).

They painted Barberton blue

Merensky High School athletes competed in the Lowveld Prestige Athletics meet held at Barberton High School this past weekend. Seven schools were ready to give their all in typical Lowveld conditions, humid and hot. Merensky’s strongest rivals on the track, Rob Ferreira High School from White River, won the day with the Plasies in close second on 597 points. The Merensky powerhouse, Kesia Pohl, setup a new shotput record with her distance of 11,14m in the Girls u/16 event while Dillion de Lange hurled his javelin a distance of 53,16m to set the new Boys u/16 record. His exceptional distance awarded him the Best Javeline Athlete of the day trophy. The U/17 middle distance speedster, Sancha van Niekerk recorded an impressive 15 seconds per 100 to cross the ﬁnish line in the 400m

Thato Shokane

event in just 60 seconds. Van Niekerk’s time was enough to shatter the existing record and claim another one for team Merensky. Her time afforded her the coveted Senior Victrix trophy and ABSA 747 points. The top 5 Plasie girls were, in first place Emma Delrymple-Hay (high jump, 806 ABSA points), Kesia Pohl (shot put, 773 points), Lourentia van Dyk (high jump, 767 points), Sancha van Niekerk (400m, 747 points) and Kgabo Mamorobela (long jump, 735 points).
