GTM supports Mussina, ignores local venues

The GTM elected to spend taxpayer money to send their councillors 232 kilometres to a different municipality for an IDP Strategic Planning session instead of sourcing local venues for their 90 delegates. The DA councillors opposed this decision demanding that officials should fit the bill personally rather than taxpayers. Read on page 2.

The strategic planning session is scheduled for the entire week and thus the taxpayer would fit the bill for the transport and accommodation of all GTM officials and councillors including meals. Added to this, would be a halt to local service delivery for an entire week as all councillors would be out of town.

The DA objected strongly.

Municipal councillors and officials this week attended the annual Integrated Development Plan (IDP) strategic planning session as they are required to at the start of their tenure in office. This year however, the IDP strategic planning session was inexplicably arranged to be held at the Tshipise Forever Resort in Mussina, instead of at any one of the adequate local lodges within the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s area of jurisdiction.

The explanation offered was that there were no venues available locally that could host the number of participants which was reduced from an initial 210 to just 90 delegates. This was however found to not be true when we contacted some of the local venues who confirmed that they were not fully booked and had enough capacity to host the training session. In the past, venues such as Ivory Tusk or Tzaneen Country Lodge have been utilized without any DA Caucus Leader Rene Pohl. hiccups.

Ward Councillor Chrizelle Dreyer

The official opposition raised the issue as a point of order at the start of the strategic session with Caucus Leader Rene Pohl demanding that all officials be held personally responsible for their own costs should the Auditor General’s report reveal any wasteful or irregular expenditure for the overnight accommodation and related costs of the councillors and officials. Pohl demanded that the GTM must support their local businesses and stated on the record that it was clear that proper planning was not done by the relevant officials.

The DA Ward Councillor for Ward 15, Chrizelle Dreyer issued a letter to the Speaker, Muhlavasi Tiba, stating her reasons for not attending the strategic planning session. She said that it made no sense that council would choose not to support local businesses and host the strategic planning session in another municipality.

“There are numerous venues in Tzaneen available to assist us, with accommodation, if necessary, that have enough space to accommodate Covid protocols. I was elected by the people to serve Ward 15, I cannot be sent to another municipality for a week and not be available to serve the people of Ward 15,” her letter read. “I do not support this, and it is unacceptable that the taxpayers’ money of Greater Tzaneen Municipality is spent in another municipality…”

The magnificent workmanship on display along large portions of the Deerpark Road connecting Tzaneen and Tarentaalrand.

Visit our website at www.farnorthbulletin.co.za and read the latest news, as well as back copies.

This image (left) depicts the workmanship by an as yet unnamed contractor tasked with filling potholes on the Deerpark Road. This road is infamous for it’s ancle deep potholes that cover so much of the road surface it is near-impossible to pass through any section of it without damaging a vehicle tyre or risk losing control of one’s vehicle. Each year a team of contractors is appointed to repair this road and each year they don’t.

Bulletin has sent an inquiry to the Mopani District Municipality’s Roads Department which oversees its sub-contractor Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) responsible for some of the roads in the province. This is the same department responsible for

the supposed upkeep of the P43/3 Eiland Road.

In the meantime, that same Eiland Road developed a massive sinkhole in January 2021 which took the powers that be close on a year to fix. The “fixed” sinkhole started sinking a month later. Last year Bulletin drove the entire stretch of the Eiland Road and counted approximately 1 136 potholes in just that stretch leading from ATKV Eiland resort and Spa to the Letsitele T-junction.

There was a team plugging the potholes with cold premix tar. A year later there is a team plugging potholes with premix tar. Because it quite obviously works. It also has the spinoff of securing future business for the road pluggers. ***Editor’s Comment: Sigh. ***

“It was like walking into a hellish nightmare” ■ Joe Dreyer The public healthcare system in Limpopo is under the spotlight again this week following a young couple’s harrowing ordeal at two of the local state hospitals over the weekend. Bulletin spoke to the husband on Thursday (yesterday) who described their stay at Letaba Hospital as a “brief visit into the pits of hell”. This is their story.

At roughly 01:00 on Friday morning the 14th of January the couple was returning home from a night out when they were involved in an accident on a slippery farm road. The wife broke her leg in the incident and was shortly afterwards transported to Van Velden hospital via ambulance. The husband sustained no injuries.

At Van Velden the wife was admitted to casualties where x-rays were taken, and her leg placed in a cast before she was admitted to the female ward. Her husband was not allowed to accompany her and had to wait outside the ward in the corridor until 07:30 that morning. When he was permitted into the ward for a 15-minute visit, the couple decided to leave. According to them, the wound was bleeding through the cast, and nobody was tending to it. The wife discharged herself and upon exiting the facility, they were asked to pay R400 if they wanted to take the x-rays with them. They paid for the x-rays and left to see a doctor in Tzaneen.

The doctor removed the cast and tended to the wound before redressing it and phoning a doctor residing at Letaba hospital to make an appointment for the couple at 08:00 on Tuesday, the 11th of January at the hospital. They spent the weekend at home.

On Tuesday when they arrived at Letaba for the appointment, the doctor was not there.

“I spent an hour running in circles at the hospital trying to get someone to help me admit my wife, but the nurses told me to wait as a doctor would come and see us. We waited in the parking lot and nobody came to help.”

Eventually a cleaning lady approached the husband and took him

around the back of the hospital to an area where the doctors usually congregated. There, the husband found a doctor and explained his situation. A gurney was brought into the parking lot and the wife was eventually wheeled into the corridor of casualties where a drip was administered. Her husband was told to wait outside.

“My wife was left in that corridor on that gurney until about 13:00 that afternoon before doctors came to see her. I gave them our x-rays which were taken at Van Velden, and at first they insisted on taking their own x-rays, but eventually took the existing ones.”

An hour later, at around 14:00, his wife was wheeled into the paediatric ward and that, according to the couple, is where the nightmare truly started.

“There were no curtains for privacy and the nurses told my wife to get undressed and put on one of the hospital gowns. I tried using my shirt to give her privacy and one of the nurses looked at us and said ‘oh, you want privacy?’ and laughed. My wife eventually got dressed and climbed onto her bed. I was then told to leave the ward or they couldn’t do their jobs. I was only allowed to see her again for 15 minutes the following day.”

In the ward stray cats were moving in between the beds and cockroaches ran across the tables and other surfaces. Patients were given a bowl of water which they were expected to use for brushing their teeth and bathing themselves. Food came in the form of dry bread with a blotch of peanut butter and an accompanying cup of weak tea.

Mineral water bottles were allegedly refilled with tap water and one patient in the ward was on a bed with what looked like a cage around her.

“The woman on this bed with the railings encaging her was screaming hysterically and trying to kick her way out which clearly upset the rest of the patients in the ward. Another lady on a bed on the opposite side of the ward was dressed in a tattered hospital gown which was so ripped and torn that her breasts were exposed. The bedding was riddled with

holes and tears and that is when we decided that my wife had to get out of there. I was overcome with an intense feeling of dread and felt that if we did not get her out of there, she could very likely lose her leg, or worse.”

The couple left Letaba hospital and headed back home where they raised some funds through family and friends to arrange admittance at Mediclinic Tzaneen. At the time of going to print they were finalizing those arrangements.

We sent the couple’s contact details to Niel Shikwambana, the spokesperson for the Limpopo Health Department, along with images of the state of the ward. Shikwambana said that he would look into the matter and revert with feedback. The husband told Bulletin that a woman from the department of health contacted him on Wednesday.

“She said that she believed I had a complaint about the hospital and she was contacting me to find out what our concerns were. At the time she called, I was unable to speak to her given the situation with my wife and the hospital. I will be in touch with her soon and hopefully something can be done at that place. Human beings do not deserve to be treated like that. It was a horrific experience that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone, and an experience you can only ever understand once you’ve been unfortunate enough to experience it yourself.”

At the time of going to print we had not had feedback from Shikwambana. We will follow up with the couple and the health department and publish our update in next week’s edition.

Jetty: Illegals can, you can’t ■ Joe Dreyer The public facilities at Jetty 3 remain closed to the public for an, as yet unclear, reason. Bulletin has been reporting on the state of the Jetty 3 facility, its declining infrastructure, and the prohibiting of public access to the venue for more than a year, and still nothing has changed.

This week we asked the Greater Tzaneen Municipality (GTM) for an update on the situation, and an explanation as to why a permit is required to enter the once publicly accessible recreational facilities. In the past, any member of the public could enter the ground at a small entrance fee regardless of whether one was launching a boat or fishing off the banks of the dam. As of 2021, that changed.

Permits are now required for access. These permits are only issued to fishermen and boaters, and there is no cost in volved.

“Jetty 3 is open to the public with valid permits to access Tzaneen dam for fishing and boat riding purposes. Permits are issued to maintain records and control of people who access the facility, they also indemnify the municipality and specify conditions for accessing the facility,” explained Vutivi Makhubele, spokesperson

for the GTM. Apparently, the permits also have no validity period.

When we asked about the leasing of the Jetty 3 facilities, Makhubele said that the facility will be advertised for competitive bidding and that the rental costs will be determined by the municipal valuer. No timeframe for this process was divulged.

We sent a follow up inquiry in which we asked the GTM to explain why no other public facility in the area requires a permit to enter and whether, when the facility is finally leased to an individual or organization, the permit rule would still apply. At the time of going to print we had not received feed back.

In the meantime, there are groups of illegal foreign fishermen living in the bushes around the Tzaneen dam who use illegal netting to snare hundreds, if not thousands of fish annually. In the past there have been regular operations by various security companies to remove these nets and their accompanying foreigners, only to have them return the following day. Various government vehicles, including police vans, are spotted regularly entering the Jetty 3 premises to have lunch at the picnic areas. Rates and taxpayers however, are not permitted without a permit that permits them, to do so.

Cow Dung and Blue Bloods

■ Roelof de Jonge

The tradition of the MooPoo (cow dung) runs deep and this year was no different as Merensky High School welcomed their new Grade 8’s and new pupils and personnel on Wednesday the 19th of January with this traditional rite of passage.

The Representative Student Council (formerly prefects), who attended in the welcoming of the newcomers by dipping or baptising them in the pit, prepared the pit with a bit of a stronger stench than last year. But without a fuss the newcomers jumped in to become True Blue Plasies. This tradition is aimed at creating camaraderie and team spirit which is at the essence of what Merensky has become known for.

To view and download the images of the MooPoo, please visit our Facebook page at Far North Bulletin and scroll through the galleries.

The MooPoo was yet again a messy affair.

“You are now a True Bue Plasie.”

Drie vat tweekamp goud Nuwe krag vir die Bloues Die Limpopo tweekampkampioenskap het op die 15de Januarie in Polokwane plaasgevind met drie atlete van die Hoërskool Merensky wie hakskene vir hul teenstanders gewys het. Die drie atlete, Aeden en Geané Anderson en hul spanmaat, Calvin Dias, het merkwaardig genoeg almal eersteplekke in hul onderskeie ouderdomsgroepe behaal. Geané was ook vanweë haar prestasie met die Junior Victrix Ludorum toekenning beloon.

Aeden het in die afdeling vir seuns o/15 deelgeneem en het 2003.80 punte bymekaargemaak.

Dias wie in die ouderdomsgroep vir seuns o/17 sy staal gewys het, se 2071.40 punte was genoeg om onder die top drie atlete van die kampioenskap te eindig, sowel as onder die top 20 nasionale atlete

in die land in sy ouderdomsgroep.

Daar word nou met groot afwagting uitgekyk of hierdie drie atlete wel in die Limpopo-span ingesluit sal word om aan die Suid-Afrikaanse kampioenskap op die 2de April in Port Elizabeth te gaan deelneem.

Die Hoërskool Merensky het op Woensdag die 12de in Kimberley, Bloemfontein Tegniese Kollege, Greytown State Indian School, Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Januarie nuwe personeellede verwelkom.

TPA six place safety first It is a well-known fact that The President’s Award, or TPA as it is known amongst the Plasies, in addition to individual challenges, also offers each candidate the opportunity to become involved in a special group project in the area.

From November 29 to 3 December 2021, six gold level candidates presented their unique water safety residential project at Unicorn Preparatory School’s swimming pool.

Under the expert guidance of well-known swimming coach, Ms Minette de Beer, the group offered

a 5-day course in water safety. The young swimmers became acquainted with the large swimming pool, and received instruction in the different swimming styles.

Thanks to gold candidates Nic de Beer, Ilanie de Bruyn, Tamryn Bosch, Taylor Stanley, Jacques Snyman and Nyasha Patel, assisted by Christelle van Jaarsveld and Geané Anderson at silver level and Clara Pretorius, aiming for bronze, there now are a large number of water-safe young people in our area.

Princes in Plasieland

Jayden steps up his game ■ Roelof de Jonge

Winners of the 5-a-side tournament.

The hockey coaches and teams of Merensky High School want to be a force to be reckoned with this year after attending the first Princess Hockey Clinic of 2022 on the 15th and 16th of January on Plasieland’s world class Astro pitch.

According to Louis du Preez, marketing manager at Merensky, three professional coaches from Sportways facilitated the event with 81 players

and 12 coaches who all enthusiastically attended this clinic. Afterwards a total of eight mixed teams took on each other in a friendly five-a-side tournament and to showcased their newly honed skills. Prizes for the most outstanding players and good sportsmanship were handed out. According to du Preez, the next hockey clinic is set to take place on the 18th and 19th of February.

Individual prizes: Thulani Mhaule and Craig Walker.

Tatenda “Jayden” Mabayah, the franchise manager and coach of the Pro Series Indoor (PSI) Limpopo Leopards Hockey Club, is making big strides to further improve the level of junior hockey in this province.

With no sport or training allowed for schools and clubs because of the Covid-19 safety regulations that was set by the South African Government in 2020 and 2021, Mabayah found the time to further his coaching credentials.

Instead of physically attending the Level 2 coaching course, presented by the South African Hockey Association (SAHA), the Leopards coach completed this training session through Zoom Meetings. And he passed with flying colours.

Mabayah believes since the establishment of the Limpopo Leopards Hockey Club, he has learnt so much and he has grown with the experience of the past few years.

“But it is not all about me, it is about the children who are mostly from primary and secondary schools in the Tzaneen area. I do occasionally get interested hockey players as far as from Bela-Bela and Polokwane that attend coaching clinics,” he explained. “The more children participate in actual matches, the more experience they gain. I would say hockey in Limpopo has improved significantly, and not only because of the establishment of the PSI Limpopo Leopards franchise.”

He said the contributing factor is that high schools like Ben Vorster, Pietersburg (PHS), Merensky, Stanford Lake College and Curro Heuwelkruin have over the past couple of years all established outdoor Astro pitches to replace the former grass surfaces.

About 12 years ago the best school players of Limpopo had to make use of grass pitches as no Astro courts existed. Whenever the top school teams in Limpopo toured to Gauteng, they suddenly had to adapt to play on Astro pitches.

“The Astro matches are much more fast paced than grass, and the players could simply not cope with their Gauteng opponents.

Indoor hockey courts are played on a smooth concrete like surface and the ball travels even faster than on Astro.”

For those not familiar with indoor hockey, the ball used weighs a couple of grams lighter than what is used for outdoor matches.

The indoor courts are also significantly smaller and can also be used for indoor netball, volleyball and football. The sticks are also

Tatenda Mabayah

shorter than traditional clubs.

Mabayah said that the hockey club is not only bound to the Tzaneen area and the intention is to reach out to junior players across Limpopo. Aside from coaching and managing Limpopo Leopards, this coach also took on a challenge of a different kind.

He is currently studying B.Com Accounting Sciences and Financial Management through Unisa.

Plasies verpletter Interhuisrekords ■ Roelof de Jonge

Die atlete van die Hoërskool Merensky het Dinsdag die 18de Januarie sy jaarlikse interhuis atletiek geleentheid gehou. Die warm bedompige weer het geensins die atlete laat terugdeins nie en het vir skitter-atletiek gesorg.

Vanjaar se deelnemende atlete het gewys hulle is gewis uitgehonger vir sportdeelnames na Covid-19 skolesport die afgelope twee jaar erg gekniehalter het. ‘n Hoeveelheid van 21 rekords het in die slag gebly. Die span van Huis Ventus het die Interhuis gewen met ‘n puntestand van 1003.5 punte.

Die span van Huis Aqua het die tweedeplek met 1001.5 punte ingeneem met die span van Huis Ignus in die derdeplek met 952.5 punte. Huis Terra het in die vierdeplek geëindig met 847.5 punte.

Die wenspan, Ventus, se atlete het vir ‘n totaal van 106 medaljes gesorg. Die Ignus-span het 94 medaljes huistoe gevat. Die span van Aqua het 91 medaljes ingepalm en Terra se span het altesaam 89 medaljes verower.

Soos die tradisie betaam, veral by sportsoorte soos atletiek en swem, word daar Victor and Victrix Lodorum-toekennings vir die mees uitstaande junior en senior atlete oorhandig.

Die Junior Victrix Lodorum was aan Sophia van Wyk toegeken

met Leon de Lange wat die Junior Victor Lodorum ingepalm het. Klara Pretorius was met die Senior Victrix Lodorum beloon en vanjaar se Senior Victor Lodorum wenner was Reese Coetzee.
