hen a large contingent of high level delegates is due to meet on local government issues during a twoday Limpopo Finance Week today (Thursday) they are expected to

engage on 2011/2012 AuditorGeneral findings on the financial status of Limpopo municipalities.

Judging from the shocking statistics contained in the audit report on the state of affairs of Polokwane Municipality, the introduction of austere measures should rank prominently on the agenda.

Black on white the state of internal finances of the City of Stars is indicative of Polokwane Municipality ostensibly heading for nothing but a disaster. Assessing the outcome of Auditor-General (AG) findings on the money matters of Polokwane Municipality as at 30 June 2012, To page 2

A few mirrors were among the items listed. The inventory also includes a Eurogrand piano, two televisions and DVD players, sound equipment and loudspeakers, wall art, 32 pieces of furniture and a couple of fridges.

The notice of sale in execution of the possessions of Mr Julius Sello Malema announces an auction on 22 February this year when the highest bidder(s) will go home with the goods.

The document reflects that the judgment by the North Gauteng High Court against the defendant was obtained on behalf of the Commissioner of the South African Revenue Services (SARS). The sheriff of the court would be instrumental in the sale of the listed items to be auctioned at the sheriff’s offices at 66 Platinum Street in Ladanna midmorning on 22 February.

Mr Adrian Lackay of SARS referred Polokwane Observer to Mr Cloete Murray of Sechaba Trust, who said he has not been appointed in any of the matters involving Malema and did not have knowledge of any property he owns in the Polokwane area.

Murray further explained he has been apSMS pointed curator in terms of Act 163 of the Tax Administration Act for a group entities owned and controlled by Mr LC (Lesiba) Gwangwa. A property outside Polokwane, farm Schuilkraal, where Malema is currently farming cabbage is included in the matter, he said.

bafana bafana World cup qualifier match to polokwane hERbERt RachuEnE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za After deciding against securing African Cup of Nations matches for Peter Mokaba Stadium, the management of the venue and Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA) submitted a proposal to the South African Football Association to host Bafana Bafana’s 2014 World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic at the venue.

From page 1 it is evident that the institution is due for a turn-around strategy where its finances are concerned. The audit resulted in an AG disclaimer.

Among the first issues highlighted are a significant number of land and buildings not included in the financial statements. “The municipality did not perform a reconciliation between the financial statements and the underlying accounting records to ensure that land and buildings were completely recorded.”

It is further stated that the AG was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the completeness of land and buildings stated at R2 311 446 427. “Included in land and buildings stated at R2 311 446 427, is land valued at R677 770 349 which could not reconcile with the underlying accounting records

by R326 255 034. The municipality could not provide any explanations or supporting documentation regarding this difference.”

Further issues raised also entail revenue matters. Included in revenue from service charges of R781 281 433 are consumer accounts that have been incorrectly billed by the municipality which has resulted in under and over billings of R13 169 936 and R53 244 379 respectively, according to the report. An additional 20 842 consumer accounts were identified on the billing system as not reconciling to the meter readings as provided by the metre readers for the months of May and June, it was pointed out. “Management had not quantified the extent of these disagreements with regard to the readings.”

tions Manager, Mantlhako Sebaka said they were approached by LTA to partner with them in bringing the set for 23 March to the province.

“LTA is leading in the process and we are willing to provide support. This is a clear indication that we should not fold our arms or try to deny our people an opportunity to see the national team playing here. We would have loved to have as many matches as possible at the stadium, but remember we are a municipality. We need to balance the provision of

services and matches,” Sebaka said.

Chief Executive Officer of Limpopo Tourism Agency, Mr Nocks Seabi confirmed that the proposal has already been sent to the South African Football Association and they are waiting for the response.

“Yes we have sent a request to host that match. We are still waiting for their response.

These are the kind of matches that will assist us in marketing the province,” Seabi said. Bafana Bafana last played an international match at the Stadium in 2010 against Guatemala.

Revenue from service charges relating to pre-paid electricity to the value of R18 422 824 that were not recorded in the financial statements of the municipality were identified. The same counts for a further 1 219 consumer accounts not recorded in the accounting system or accounted for in the financial statements.

It was stressed that the valuation of properties of R45 billion includes an unexplained difference between the municipal valuation roll and the financial statements amounting to R45 152 569. “The municipality did not reconcile the difference of R45 152 569 between the financial statements and the valuation roll.”

With regards to employee costs, it was reiterated that a significant amount of payments that were made to individuals who were no longer in the employ of the municipality had been identified. Due to the inadequate design of internal controls over payments to employees, it was not possible to quantify the extent of occurrences of such payments and the related impact on the employee cost amounting to R399 033 020.

Another factor the Auditor-General was unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on was a staff leave balance of R43 831 646, as mentioned in the report.

It was simultaneously noted that no system was in place for the identification and recognition of irregular expenditure of R204 583 926 and there were no satisfactory alternative audit procedures that could be performed to obtain reasonable assurance that all irregular expenditure was properly recorded.

On financial and performance management

it was pointed out that the acting chief financial officer (CFO) was not able to ensure the compilation of credible and reliable financial statements for the financial year under review, that financial statements and other information to be included in the annual report were not reviewed for accuracy and completeness by the accounting officer, that controls over daily and monthly processing and reconciling of transactions were not implemented by the accounting officer, that compliance with laws and regulations was not reviewed and monitored by the accounting officer and that the process of implementing a new billing system towards the end of the financial year was not well considered and managed to ensure that customer accounts were accurate and complete.

In conclusion reference was made to the investigation conducted by an independent consulting firm on request of the municipality.

The investigation was initiated based on the allegation of possible irregular payments of overtime, payments of leave encashment and on the financial misconduct on the then CFO. The investigation resulted in the dismissal of the CFO. Proceedings involving other employees were still in progress at the reporting date.

“An investigation is being conducted by an independent consulting firm on request of the municipality. The investigation was initiated based on the allegation of possible supply management irregularities and the possibility of payments to ghost employees. The investigation was still ongoing at the reporting date.”

interest of Dr Mathole Motshekga in the matter, he reiterated that he was appointed in the matter. Murray added that Motshekga was a non-executive director of Sechaba Trust, which has not involved in the matter. Motshekga did

not have any input in the handling of the case, he concluded.

When approached with questions on the issue, Polokwane Sheriff Anna Ralehlaka said she could not comment on the matter.

past and present, responsible for this state of affairs,” he said.

Polokwane Observer met up with Greaver and the administrative head of the institution, the Municipal Manager, Ms Conny Mametja for an interview on the unfortunate report on Monday and though he reiterated that he took responsibility for the matter, he seem to hint on several instances on possible sabotage.

The municipality earned themselves 166 queries and about 58 findings from the AG but Mametja said most of the issues flagged could be dealt with almost immediately.

Greaver said a number of the major issues mentioned in the AG’s report such as fraud on overtime and ghost workers were not uncovered by the audit but by an investigation conducted by the municipality before, “almost hijacking the cleaning up” the municipality was trying to do. “It’s not something that surprises us because it is something that we have found.

Then the AG simply took our report and made a finding on that, which is correct, they must do it but it is something that we have investigated ourselves,” he said.

Greaver said during a staff meeting employees admitted to having ripped of the municipality in irregular overtime payments. “People have bought houses and have bought cars and have embraced a certain lifestyle based on consistently, I can’t say fraudulent because they didn’t defraud, but it was irregular overtime,” he said adding that there was no way he could have turned a blind eye to the matter.

“There are 23 officials who have to be charged on various things that went wrong.

You obviously will have to understand that these people are going to hit you where they can and perhaps they have succeeded,” Greaver said, however emphasising that he would not label the situation sabotage.

Another noteworthy development was the asset register which was audited was not the one the municipality had paid PricewaterhouseCoopers to prepare and both Greaver

olokwane Municipality’s dream of getting a clean audit in line with government’s clean audit target of next year has been dashed for good.

This after the richest local municipality in the province received an embarrassing disclaimer of opinion audit outcome from the Auditor General, its first in four years and the third since 2003.

Delivering the report to council during Thursday’s Council meeting, Auditor General South Africa (AGSA) representative, Ms Ulde Shumba said the municipality had been disclaimed because of a long list of matters. “ The irregular expenditure which constitutes the non-compliances with the supply chain processes as defined in terms of the supply chain regulations and all the policies that governs the process amounted to R154 million, that’s the extent of the irregular expenditure which we identified that was not disclosed by management. We also identified fruitless and wasteful expenditure amounting to R692 000,” Shumba said.

One of the basis of the opinion was the municipality’s revenue woes, which according to the report includes service charges of more than R781 000 000 of consumer accounts which have been incorrectly billed resulting in under billing of R13 169 936 and over billing of R53 244 379 while a further 20 8842 accounts on the system did not reconcile to the meter readings for May and June last year.

An amount of R140 440 390 was incurred as unauthorised expenditure while other new qualifications areas were discovered.

The report also mentioned an amount of R85 746 484 which was incurred as a result of losses incurred during the water and electricity distribution process, a matter the Democratic Alliance (DA) Caucus Leader, Cllr Frank Haas has vowed to request Polokwane Executive Mayor, Cllr Freddy Greaver’s urgent intervention on. “The 39% water loss costs the municipality an estimated R60 million per annum whereas there is not enough budget set aside to rectify or solve the crisis,” Haas said in a media statement released on the matter.

and Mametja claim to have no knowledge of who put the audited one in the municipality’s system for the AG to work on.

He added that the appointment of the company contracted to run the municipality’s payroll system was also brought into question by the municipality’s forensic investigation as the tender was never public advertised. “Now here’s a company that must help us to comply with the AG. If you look at the investigation report, it questions how this contract was even signed in fact two of the 23 people who must be charged are people who have signed that contract with the authority, they don’t have the authority, without the knowledge of the accounting officer, without it having gone out on a public tender. Are you surprised then that we didn’t get the documents on time?” he said of the late submission of payroll documents to the AG that also proved to be vital in the audit outcome.“Maybe if we didn’t investigate, maybe we would have had that on time,” he added.

On the millions of Rand that were lost due to water and electricity, Greaver said the city’s aging water infrastructure needed at least R202 million to replace the water pipes and the municipality has also decided to move towards a smart technology where even

prepaid water would be considers as the high number of pipe bursts, leaks, illegal connections and inaccuracy of meter readings were a headache.

Commenting the municipality’s only entity which he previous described as a liability to the municipality, Polokwane Housing Association (PHA) Greaver said it was still a liability but one worth having as it had a lot of potential.

PHA received qualified audit outcome.

Greaver said he was not obsessed with audit, but the next audit outcome of the municipality would definitely not be a disclaimer, which is the worst outcome of all.

Meer as 2 000 plaaswerkers verloor werk bEn SnyMan >> bensnyman.observer@gmail.com

D

ie aankondiging van die nuwe minimumlone vir plaaswerkers vandeesweek het reeds tot die afdanking van meer as 2 000 werkers in die landbousektor in Limpopo gelei.

Die Transvaalse Landbou-unie van Suid-Afrika (TLU SA) se president, mnr Louis Meintjies sê die minister van arbeid, me Mildred Oliphant, het die land geen guns bewys deur die aankondiging nie en het bevestig dat meer as 2 000 werkers van hoofsaaklik vrugteboere in Magoebaskloof en die George’s-vallei reeds afdankingsbriewe ontvang het. “ Verlede jaar is ‘n sektorale vasstelling gemaak wat geldig was vir drie jaar. TLU SA is van mening dat, behalwe vir geweld en intimidasie, daar sedert die vasstelling verlede jaar niks wesenlik verander het nie.

“Nietemin het TLU SA saam met ander landbou-organisasies tot ’n

verhoging van R80 per dag ingestem, wat ’n styging van meer as 15%, oftewel byna drie keer die inflasiekoers, sou verteenwoordig. Die minister se verhoging van meer as 50% is bo enige perk van billikheid en redelikheid.

“Daarbenewens is die tydskaal wat gegun is om te besin oor die hele kwessie, ook nie redelik en billik nie met die gevolg dat die volledige impak daarvan op landbou nooit tot op die kern nagevors is nie,” meen Meintjies.

TLU SA meen die nuwe vasstelling is die resultaat van onbehoorlike druk en intimidasie deur seisoenale werkers en veral klein en opkomende boere sal beslis nie hierdie lone kan bekostig nie.

Meintjes waarsku dat verdere arbeidsonrus aangeblaas kan word as boere slegs verhogings aan werkers gee wat op die minimumloonvlak is.

“Ander werkers sal ongelukkig wees as hulle kollegas ’n substantiewe salarisverhoging kry, en hulle nie.”

TLU SA het sy regspan opdrag gegee om alle opsies te ondersoek ten einde die aangekondigde minimumlone ter syde te stel.

“4 Februarie 2013 was ‘n donker dag in die geskiedenis van landbou in Suid-Afrika. Dit sal onthou word as die dag waarop die aangesig van landbou dramaties verander het,” sê die hoofbestuurder van Agri-Limpopo, mnr Dries Enslin.

“Die ANC regering het absoluut geen aandag gegee aan die vertoë wat georganiseerde landbou gerig het nie. ‘n Populistiese besluit het geseëvier,” sê hy.

Enslin sê Limpopo is bekend vir sy arbeidsintensiewe boerderysektore.

“Dit is die een enkele werkverskaffer waar daar nog plek was vir ongeskoolde werkers. Dit is juis hulle wat die spit gaan afbyt.”

Agri Limpopo het ‘n beroep op die provinsiale regering gedoen om met landbou in gesprek te tree om ‘n ramp af te weer.

dept admits – still no textbooks at some schools lESEtja MalopE >>malopelj@gmail.com

The Department of Education (DOE) has admitted that the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) revelation that some schools still have not received all their textbooks, is true.

Departmental Spokesperson, Mr Pat Kgomo admitted that the department had communicated to schools that it was aware of the matter. He at the same time lashed out at the DA for exposing the issue. “It is unfortunate that the DA uses a letter directed to parents to score political points. We have communicated the fact that we are aware that there is shortage in Afrikaans medium of instruction books and we are attending to the matter.

We are continually briefing schools on the progress. So, it makes no sense that when the principal informs the parents, the DA uses that as official,” Pat Kgomo said.

DA Provincial Leader, Mr Jacques Smalle said in a media statement issued yesterday (Wednesday) that schools in Modjadjiskloof have not received textbooks. “Schools in the Modjadjiskloof area and elsewhere in Limpopo have not received a single textbook for core subjects two months into the school year. This situation was revealed by a letter to parents and learners by a despondent school principal of Duiwelskloof Primary School.

In the letter, the principal apologises to parents and the learners of his school for the fact that there are still

no textbooks,” the statement read.

Smalle said the party would also be writing to the Education Portfolio Committee Chairperson in Provincial Legislature, Ms Joy Maluleke requesting her to intervene and call the department to account. “To compound the problem for the educators, they still have not received workbooks to enable them to implement the new curriculum.

“The letter to parents makes it clear that neighbouring schools have not received textbooks either and that the problem is occurring elsewhere in the province as well. As a result of this, the school has had to postpone the first tests in this semester to February because the learners will not be adequately prepared,” Smalle said.

Matric remarking scheduled to kick off >> Department planned to issue results later this month >> Thousands of scripts yet to be retrieved lESEtja MalopE >>malopelj@gmail.com More than 700 learners who were dissatisfied by their Grade 12 final results last year have applied for remarking

but may have to wait longer than expected for the Department of Education (DOE) to wrap up the process.

The department’s warehouse in the city where the scripts are kept is allegedly in a mess and it would take a miracle for all the scripts to be traced, a source told Polokwane Observer.

According to the Departmental Spokesperson, Mr Pat Kgomo a total of 710 candidates have applied for remarking in nearly all their subjects and the process is scheduled to start today (Thursday) while results would be released later in the month.

“Remarking is scheduled to take place from 7 to 8 February. It is planned that the candidates will be informed of the results by the end of February,” Kgomo said.

He said by yesterday a total of 2 274 scripts had been retrieved for remarking.

Taking into consideration the number of applicants for remarking plus the fact that some subjects carry multiple question papers, the amount of scripts still to be recovered before the process of remaking can commence amounts to thousands.

land expropriation farm names reserved Rc MybuRgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

T

he names of the two farms in Limpopo which form part of the land expropriation programme cannot be revealed as the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform, Mr Gugile Nkwinti has not yet approved the expropriation.

Limpopo Land Claims Commissioner, Mr Tele Maphoto said this forms part of the centenary commemoration of the Natives Land Act of 1913. “The farms are in the Vhembe and Sekhukhune areas but for now we cannot reveal the names or provide any other information as we still await the minister’s approval,” he said.

According to the Democratic Alliance (DA) Caucus Leader, Ms Desiree van der Walt the party supports land

reform in a sustainable manner, “...but I cannot comment on this particular issue as I have no background thereof and will have to do some research first,” she said.

The Transvaal Agricultural Union’s (TAU) Northern Region Manager, Mr Stephan Hoffman said he was not aware of the two farms forming part of the expropriation programme. Mr Frits Arends from the Soutpansberg TAU in Vhembe district also said information about the matter was not yet available.

The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform’s website informs that 2013 marks 100 years since the Natives Land Act of 1913 was enacted in South Africa. The Act became law on 19 June 1913 limiting African land ownership to 7% which later increased to 13% through the

1936 Native Trust and Land Act of South Africa. The Act restricted black people from buying or occupying land except as employees of a white master. It however gave white people ownership of 87% of land, leaving black people to scramble for a mere 13%.

“That piece of legislation made life horrendous for the black populace until the Commission of Restitution was established in 1994 to provide equitable redress to victims of racially motivated land dispossession, in line with the provisions of the Restitution of Land Rights Act, 1994 (Act No. 22 of 1994). In the year 2013 the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform will be marking the centenary of this act. The theme for the Project 2013 is Reversing the legacy of 1913 Natives Land Act,” the website stated.

Mayor, Speaker bury the hatchet

lESEtja MalopE >>malopelj@gmail.com

Polokwane Executive Mayor, Cllr Freddy Greaver has announced that he has buried the hatched with the municipality’s Speaker, Cllr Caiphus Mathiba.

Greaver, addressing Council during Thursday’s meeting, said he had met with Mathiba on the morning and the two have ironed out their differences.

“We are saying we are not ready to divide this council, we are not ready

to lead any onslaught whatsoever. I declare here my unreserved support to the Council Speaker, Cllr Mathiba and I have a responsibilty to make sure he succeeds in the work that he has to do and the honourable Speakers has also assured me that he understands that as the Executive Mayor and a member of the party that sent us both here, we have a responsibility not to be people who think we are bigger than the movement and the people who have sent us here. Anyone who wants to divide this municipality should not

use our names to do so. If you want to fight the Executive Mayor or the Speaker whether you’re in council or out of council, you are not led by me or the Speaker, you are on your own,” he said. Greaver and Mathiba allegedly had a fall out a fortnight ago, apparently because Greaver accused him of leaking information to the media. That while Mathiba was also hell-bent on ensuring Greaver does not recommend that Ms Dikeledi Thindisa be appointed the new Chief Financial Officer of the municipality.

Die Maepa Primary School se dakteëls is Maandagaand gesteel en die skoolspens is leeggedra. Die stoep is ook beskadig.

Leerders van die Maepa Primary School net buite Ohrigstad sit sedert Dinsdag by die huis nadat diewe Maandagaand twee blokke van die skoolgebou se dakteëls sowel as die leerders se kos uit die skoolspens gesteel het.

Die skool is sedert Desember ‘n teiken vir diewe toe eers die skool se rekenaar gedurende die skoolvakansie gesteel is.

Volgens die skoolhoof, mnr Stephen Mkhabela word die leerders ook van kos by die skool voorsien.

“Die spens is leeggesteel en die leerders het nou nie ‘n dak oor hul koppe nie. Ons het hulle huis

Onvoorwaardelike steun is deur verskeie organisasies aan veldtogte gegee wat mynbou-ontwikkeling in die sensitiewe Nylsvley Ramsar-vleilandgebied in die Waterberge keer nadat dit bekend geword het dat ‘n oopgroefplatinummyn in die vleilandgebied moontlik ontwikkel gaan word.

Nylsvley is ’n beskermde vloedvlakte en die tuiste van minstens 450 voëlspesies en 37 voël- en dierspesies in dié gebied is op die Wêreldbewaringsunie se rooidatalys.

Volgens mnr Julius Kleynhans, AfriForum se hoof van omgewingsake, is die beplande ontwikkeling al in 2011 begin en sê dit sal rampspoedige gevolge op die gebied en ekostelsel hê.

Me Marion Dunkeld-Mengell, projekkoördineerder en woordvoerder van Vriende van Nylsvley sê hulle stry al die afgelope twee jaar die stryd en meen dit sal ‘n katastrofiese impak op nie net die omgewing en ekosisteem hê nie, maar die investering wat in dié gebied gedoen is, sal verwoes word.

“Om ‘n myngat te boor, moet

water verwyder word. Dié water sal waarskynlik deur die aarde se chemikalieë besoedel word,” sê sy.

Mnr Chris Wagner, voorsitter van die Waterbergbewaringsforum en strategiese beplanner van die Waterberg Distrikslandbou-unie sê sy kommer gaan oor die kwaliteit water wat aan die inwoners van omliggende gebiede verskaf word.

“Omdat die Waterberg die Nylsvley met water voed, sal die moontlike ontwikkeling ‘n reuse impak op die water hê. Sou die berg se water uitgeput raak, sal reënwater binne 24 uur wegloop en ons met ‘n reuse krisis laat,” sê hy.

Die woordvoerder van Limpopo se departement van ekonomiese ontwikkeling, omgewing en toerisme (Ledet), mnr Lucky Phosa kon nie kommentaar lewer nie maar ‘n volledige verslag sal glo môre (Vrydag) aan Polokwane Observer voorsien word.

Mnr Theo Fischer van EScience Associates, verantwoordelik vir die omgewingimpakstudie, sê dat die proses steeds aan die gang is en dat verdere spesialisstudies onderneem moet word wat owerhede in staat sal stel om ingeligte besluite te neem. “Tans is die inligting onvoldoende,” sê hy.

toe gestuur totdat ons verdere besluite geneem het,” sê Mkhabela. Benewens die dakteëls en kos is die stoep ook beskadig.

Die skool het ‘n saak van diefstal by die Ohrigstad Polisiestasie aanhangig gemaak.

Die plaaslike Demokratiese Alliansie-raadslid in Ohrigstad, mnr Lethabile Kgwedi sê die skool is afgeleë en diep in die nedersetting geleë. “Daar is nie sekuriteit nie wat die gebied ‘n maklike teiken maak.

“Ons wil graag sulke voorvalle onder die publiek en regering se aandag bring sodat dit duidelik word in watter omstandighede leerders onderrig ontvang,” sê Kgwedi.

Misdaadslagoffer waarsku teen diefstal

Rc MybuRgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

Polokwane-inwoners word gemaan om paraat en versigtig te wees nadat die bakkie van Country Blue Gastehuis helder oordag moeiteloos gesteel is.

Die eienaar van die gastehuis, me Colette Drotsky het gesê die gastehuis se bakkie

is op 26 Januarie onder hul neuse gesteel.

Volgens haar het een van die werknemers voor die gastehuis parkeer en die sleutel op ‘n tafel op die perseel neergesit. “Die dief het blatant en oop en bloot die sleutel op die tafel gevat, in die bakkie geklim en gery,” sê Drotsky.

Drotsky het die sekuriteitskamera-beeldmateriaal aan Polokwane Observer voorsien waarin duidelik gesien word hoe die dief gemaklik die perseel instap en op sy pad uit die sleutel op die tafel vat, rondkyk, na die

Motsepe requests probe into tenders lESEtja MalopE >>malopelj@gmail.com

C

ooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) MEC, Mr Clifford Motsepe has requested the Public Protector and the Auditor General to investigate his department after media reports implied that tenders worth R900 million were awarded irregularly to allies of erstwhile politician, Julius Malema. Motsepe, during a media briefing on the allegations held at the department’s head offices on Tuesday, announced that he wanted the department’s name cleared as he was confident there was no truth in the allegations.

He said he had also written to the Public Service Commission (PSC) about the matter merely for acknowledgement but did not request that the body probe the matter too.

Coincidentally the media briefing was held on the day Motsepe had received a letter from the Public Protector clearing the department of allegations made about tender improprieties relating to companies also linked to Malema two years ago.

The investigation, started in 2011, cleared the department of irregularly dishing out tenders to Sizani Build IT owned by Mr Steve Bosch, Aurecon, a multinational company, On Point Civil Engineers (partly owned by Malema and Mr Lesiba Gwangwa) and Arandi Trading owned by Mr Tshepo Malema, Malema’s cousin.

Motsepe also said he would not be victimising businesses simply because they were seen to be associated with Malema.

He also confirmed that Malema remained his personal friend. “I am a personal friend of Julius Malema and I will remain a personal friend of Julius Malema until death do us part,” Motsepe in an unprecedented declaration of friendship for the former politician who has claimed in the media to have been deserted by his friends.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Alliance (DA) Spokesperson on Local Government, Ms Desiree van der Walt laid a criminal charge with the Hawks against the department over the issue.

“MEC Motsepe can’t hide from the facts already on the table. The DA is most certainly pursuing its criminal case,” she said.

Slaggate in Dorpstraat.

onooglike verval van stad se paaie bEn SnyMan >> bensnyman.observer@gmail.com

Daar is min strate in die stad waar jy nie vir reuse slaggate moet uitswaai nie, veral na die onlangse swaar reën.

Swaarvoertuigverkeer deur die stad en woonareas dra verder tot die beskadiging van dié paaie by. Die woordvoerder van die departement van paaie en vervoer, mnr Joshua Kwapa sê dat daar munisipale regulasies en reëls is wat swaarvoertuie verbied om deur die stad se woonareas en sentrale sakegebied te beweeg. Volgens hom is daar baie vragmotorbestuurders wat die wette bly verontagsaam.

Inligtingsborde, aanwysingsborde en padrelings se swak toestand en totale verval dra verder tot die bekommerenswaardige situasie

by. Kwapa sê dat die departement bewus is van die beskadigde borde en relings en dat ‘n interne proses aan die gang is om dit te herstel.

Ontevrede inwoners skakel Polokwane Observer voortdurend om hul wrewel in die verband te lig.

Volgens me Noko Lebea, Polokwane munisipale woordvoerder het die onlangse reën die spanne onderbreek wat besig was met instandhoudingswerk. Sy sê hulle het hul strategie bespreek en vyf spanne is reeds besig met herstelwerk reg oor Polokwane.

Lebea sê die meederheid slaggate sal teen die einde van die week herstel wees en moedig inwoners aan om slaggate by 015 290 2000 te rapporteer sodat dit herstel kan word. Sy sê elektriese probleme kan na 015 290 2490 deurgegee word.

>> Betaal maandeliks met koepons of rekening >> Tarief is R33 per ton

Rc MybuRgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

D

ie stortingsterrein is die een plek wat baie inwoners vermy as gevolg van die walglike reuke, groot veiligheidsrisiko en onhigiëniese omstandighede, maar besighede wat daagliks rommel moet stort sit met ‘n groter probleem.

Die Polokwane Munisipaliteit het onlangs besluit dat rommel wat op die terrein gestort word, geweeg moet word en dat daar R33 per ton daarvoor betaal moet word.

Inwoners of besigheidseienaars kan kies om of vooraf koepons by die munisipaliteit te koop of die tarief aan die einde van die maand by hul water- en elektrisiteitsrekening te laat voeg. ‘n Besigheidseienaar wat daagliks die stortingsterrein vir bourommel gebruik sê ‘n munisipale beampte het glo onlangs by die weegbrug naby die ingangshek ‘n kwitansie uitgereik wat die gewig van die vrag presies aandui, maar dat die bedrag wat betaal moes

word, nul getoon het. Daar word beweer dat die munisipale werker glo steeds R33 van die bestuurder geëis het. Die onderneming het ook gekla dat geen kennisgewings oor die tariewe vooraf uitgereik is nie en daar geen kennisgewings by die stortingsterrein hieroor opgerig is nie.

Munisipale woordvoerder, me Noko Lebea sê daar kan slegs met koepons betaal word of die bedrag kan op die maandelikse rekening gekrediteer word. Inwoners wat die stortingsterrein gebruik en gevra word om te betaal moet op die beampte se naam en van aandring en dit dadelik by die munisipaliteit aanmeld,” sê Lebea. Die klagte kan by die munisipaliteit se kantore gelê word of die anonieme klagtelyn kan by 0800 205053 geskakel word.

Lebea het inwoners wat tuinvullis wil verwyder gemaan om die stortingsperseel in Websterstraat en in Ladanna naby Laerskool Piet Hugo te gebruik. “Inwoners kan hier gratis tuinvullis weggooi. Sou hulle die Silicon stortingsterrein gebruik en die vrag weeg meer as ‘n ton, sal hulle moet betaal,” sê sy.

Sy het verder gesê die munisipaliteit het kennisgewings uitgereik. “Ek het die kennisgewings self hanteer en dit is na gereelde rommelverwyderingsmaatskappye gestuur en in die koerante geadverteer,” sê sy.

Reëlings vir MMc 2013 goed op dreef MaRiëttE SnydER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com Duisende mans het verlede jaar buite die stad saamgetrek om die Mighty Men konferensie (MMC) by te woon en die stigter van dié konferensie, Angus Buchan op die verhoog te beleef.

Van 15 tot 17 Maart gaan daar weer tente en slaapsakke gepak word vir die derde Mighty Men In die Bosveld 2013 wat volgens die organiseerders groter en beter as verlede jaar gaan wees.

Die konferensie bied ‘n geleentheid aan mans om ‘n dieper verhouding met God te hê.

Die verandering in die mans se lewens het ‘n positiewe invloed op die gemeenskap deurdat hulle hul geestelike eienskappe versterk en uitleef.

Die plaas, Snymansdrift waar die konferensie plaasvind, is sowat 18 km buite die stad.

Buchan sal weer een van die hoofsprekers wees. Ander sprekers sluit mnre Piet Jacobs en Riekert Botha sowel as plaaslike gospelsangers en getuienisse in. Die lof en aanbidding sal

deur Franna Benade gelei word.

Program: Vrydag: Piet Jacobs van 18:00 tot 20:00 Saterdag: Riekert Botha van 09:00 tot 11:00 en Angus Buchan van 18:00 tot 20:00 Sondag: Angus Buchan van 09:00 tot 11:00 Kaartjies is R210 per persoon en is by http://www.computicket.com beskikbaar.

ie ses minderjariges van Mookgophong wat van die moord van drie kinders verdink word, moet 18 Februarie weer in dié dorp se landdroshof verskyn.

Die ses is tydens hul vorige verskyning borgtog geweier en bly in aanhouding in ‘n plek van veiligheid. Die hof wag glo nog op die psigiatriese toetsuitslae.

Die verdagtes is tussen die ouderdom van 12 en 14 jaar oud en is verlede jaar deur die polisie in verband met die moord op Bafana Kekana (9), Richard Kekana (10) en ‘n 12-jarige meisie vasgetrek. Die meisie is vermoedelik voor haar dood verkrag.

Mnr Prince Nakana (22) van die Bolubeduomgewing wat daarvan verdink word dat hy twee seuns en ses dogters verkrag het, verskyn weer op 6 Mei in die Polokwane Streekshof.

Hy het verlede Woensdag in die Bolubedu Landdroshof verskyn waarna die saak uitgestel is. Nakana wat vermoedelik ‘n winkel naby ‘n

Mamabolo was released on R10 000 bail and is set to appear again in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on 20 March 2013.

The committee is funded by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture and was tasked with facilitating the renaming process of places around the province.

Mamabolo is also a former friend of African National Congress Youth League (Ancyl), Mr Julius Malema and was recently also charged with crimen injuria over an alleged text message spat the pair engaged in.

cRiME shorts polisie waarsku teen kapings

Die Westenburg polisie se kommunikasiebeampte, kapt Mohlaka Mashiane het gewaarsku dat motoriste paraat en oplettend moet wees wanneer hulle by hul wonings stop nadat twee gevalle van motorkapings Saterdag in die stad aangemeld is.

Volgens Mashiane is ‘n man omstreeks 17:00 van sy motor in Ivypark geroof. “In die tweede voorval is ‘n vrou in die middestad in haar motor ingedwing en beroof. Die booswigte het haar langs die Percy Fyfe-pad afgelaai waarna sy ‘n boer in die omgewing gevra het om die polisie te ontbied,” sê hy.

Hy sê die kapers nader voertuigbestuurders om kwansuis aanwysings te vra of kry inligting by die bure oor die slagoffer se doen en late waarna hulle toeslaan.

Sangoma-saak weer in hof

Die 57-jarige sangoma wat met ‘n 13-jarige getroud is, sal gedurende die maand weer in die hof verskyn.

Volgens provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, brig Hangwane Mulaudzi is die saak volgens gerugte nie uit die hof gegooi nie, maar vertraag omdat die openbare vervolger nog nie kon besluit onder watter wet die sangoma aangekla gaan word nie. Dit is nie seker in watter hof die sangoma

Volgens die polisie se kommunikasiehoof in Tzaneen, lt kol Moatshe Ngoepe het die voorval naby Tarentaalrand net buite die dorp gebeur. “Die eienaar van die motors besit ‘n werkswinkel en dit is sy eie voertuie wat aan die brand gesteek is. Die motief vir die brand is nog nie bekend nie,” sê Ngoepe. ‘n Saak van brandstigting word ondersoek.

twee liggame uit rivier gehaal

Die Tzaneenpolisie het weer gewaarsku dat mense nie riviere op gevaarlike plekke moet oorsteek nie.

Volgens die kommunikasiehoof in Tzaneen, lt kol Moatshe Ngoepe het hulle verlede week ‘n 12-jarige se lyk uit ‘n rivier in die omgewing gehaal. “Ons het Dinsdag weer ‘n 70-jarige man se lyk uit dieselfde rivier gehaal. Ons waarsku mense om steeds nie riviere oor te steek nie omdat die riviere nog sterk vloei na die onlangse vloede,” sê Ngoepe.

Dalmada Water

Ek verwys na ’n berig wat verlede week verskyn het insake Dalmada water. Soos die Engelsman sal sê “let’s put the record straight”: Ons veralgemeen as ons met “julle” praat, maar “julle” weet wie “julle” is.

Voor “julle” koerant toe hardloop, gaan lees eers julle ondertekende (?) ooreenkoms met die Dalmada Waterraad, met spesiale verwysing na die derde paragraaf. Maak seker van julle feite voor julle begin kerm. Dit is uiters teleurstellend, onregverdig (en lasterlik) dat so eensydige berig in die koerant geplaas word voor al die ware feite verkry is.

Weet julle hoeveel kos Dalmada water en hoeveel kos water in die dorp? Weet julle dat Dalmada Waterrraad eers na 50 kiloliter oorskry is, boetes uitreik en die Munisipaliteit na 20 kiloliter?

Dalmada/Baskoppies is geklassifiseer as landbouhoewes waar daar slegs een woning per plot gebou mag word. As gevolg van onwettige woonstelle, besighede en ander strukture wat hoë volumes water gebruik, is die druk wat op die watervoorsiening geplaas word krities.

Hoekom kry ons almal sms’e insake wateronderbreking, maar julle nie? (Is dit dalk omdat julle nie lede is nie?). Sms’e word aan die eienaars van al die plotte gestuur, maar hulle versuim moontlik om dit oor te dra aan huurders. Dis nou dié lede wat wel nuwe kontak detail na die Waterraad stuur indien dit

verander het.

Weet julle wat Oom Fanie Hattingh alles vir die gemeenskap doen? Ons glo nie, want hy loop nie daarmee te koop nie. Ons staan saam met Oom Fanie en as julle hom aanvat, vat julle ons aan. Hy bly al langer op Dalmada as wat julle verjaarsdae gehad het. Kom woon bietjie ons volgende GPF vergadering by, dan gesels ons oor ‘n koppie koffie. 12 Februarie 2013 om 18:30 by Palms Inn, Dalmada.

As julle boorgat toerusting gesteel is het julle dit by die SAPS aangemeld en die IR nommer deurgegee na die Dalmada/Baskoppies GPF sodat hulle dit kan opvolg en julle bystaan?

Op Dalmada/Baskoppies gaan dit nie net oor water nie, dit gaan oor ‘n gemeenskap wat saamstaan. Inwoners wat in die middernagtelike ure voetpatrollies doen om mede-inwoners se veiligheid te verseker.

Bure wat mekaar ken (en nie dorp toe hoef te ry vir water nie) en water kan kry by dié mense wat boorgate het as daar nie Dalmada water is nie omdat daar ‘n probleem opgeduik het. Inwoners wat twee rigting radios het en sodoende met mekaar kommunikeer as daar nood of probleme is en daarop kan reageer.

Soos julle sal sien skryf ons hierdie brief met name by, ons verkies om nie “anoniem” te wees nie.

uit die Woord>>

God gebruik gebreekte mense

dr gerhard bothma Hompie Kedompie het van die wal af geval.

En gebreek. Nie die koning of sy soldate kon dit voorkom nie. En hulle kon hom ook nie weer aanmekaar sit nie. Toe ons kinders was het ons hierdie rympie dikwels opgesê. In ons gedagtes kon ons sien hoe Hompie hulpeloos van die muur af val en in stukke spat. Ná die val het hy daar gelê: “Plat soos ‘n pan.” Dit was ‘n heerlike rympie om met bewegings uit te beeld. Ek onthou nog hoe ‘n meisie in trane uitgebars het toe een van die seuns Hompie Kedompie se einde dramaties en met ‘n luide weeklag voorgestel het.

Mense “breek” ook. Ons is almal broos en breekbaar, al erken ons dit nie sommer aan onsself of iemand anders nie. “Ons sal eerder ná ‘n hartaanval of ‘n beroerte sterf as om te erken dat ons nie so sterk is soos wat ons voorgee nie,” sê ‘n vriend van my dikwels.

Wanneer ‘n mens “breek” is dit baie erger as wanneer énige struktuur inmekaartuimel.

In die Bybel lees ons dikwels van gelowiges wat naby of aan die anderkant van breekpunt beland het. Vir Job het dit gevoel asof hy so erg gebreek was dat sy hoop “soos ‘n boom wat uitgeruk word” verdwyn het en dat hy sou sterf (Job 19:10). Dawid het geglo mense wou hom breek (Ps 55:4; 57:7). Oor die gebrokenheid van God se kinders was die profeet

Jeremia se moed gebreek (Klaagl 2:11-12).

Toe Jesus tydens die laaste ete saam met sy dissipels – kort voordat hy gekruisig is – brood gebreek het, het hy gesê: “Neem dit, dit is my liggaam” (Luk 14:22). Ná hy “gebreek” is, word Jesus egter uit die dood opgewek én staan hy daaruit op. As “die een wat gebreek is” kén Jesus ook ons sukkel, seer en swaarkry.

Daarom kan ons maar al singende erken: “Breekbaar is ek en verganklik / heeltemal van Hom afhanklik” (Liedboeklied 102:9).

As “die een wat die dood gebreek het” bring God in en deur Jesus vir gebrokenes bevryding (Luk 4:19 Ou Vertaling). In “ons gebroke wêreld kom vestig Hy sy koningsheerskappy” en maak hy heel “wat sonde hier gebreek het” (Lied 464:3 en 518). God breek nie, maar maak heel.

“Hy wat verstaan, sal die riet wat geknak is, nie breek nie” (Lied 486:3). Na aanleiding van Paulus se beskrywing van gelowiges as “kleipotte wat maklik breek” (2 Kor 4:7) het iemand gesê God gebruik gebreekte mense omdat hulle meer lig deurlaat as dié wat reken dat hulle gewete skoon is.

Mag jy glo dat jy nooit onherstelbaar gebreek kan word nie. Mag jy ervaar dat jy, anders as Hompie Kedompie, weer héél gemaak word. En mag jy daarom woorde wat lewe bring gebruik, want “skynheilige woorde breek mense” (Spr 15:4).

So het dit gebeur>>

Drie hoera’s vir St. Vaaltyn

hEttiE goldEn

Mense is deesdae tog te lief daarvoor om Valentynsdag af te maak as net ‘n geldmaakset van rooskwekers en snuisterywinkels.

Maar het jy geweet dat, naas Nuwejaar, Valentynsdag deur meer mense gevier word as enige ander feesdag ter wêreld. Die oorsprong van die feesdag kom uit die Rooms-Katolieke kerk. Die spesifieke feite is eeue gelede al verlore. Selfs in die vyfde eeu toe die dag as feesdag verklaar is, was die presiese oorsprong onseker. Die bekendste storie agter die storie is dat ‘n biskop Valentyn (of dan die Latynse weergawe daarvan) naby Rome gemartel en vermoor is op 14 Februarie. Hy is volgens oorlewering skuldig bevind aan die bevestiging van onwettige huwelike tussen soldate en hul geliefdes. Hy is gearresteer en moes sy geloof verduidelik. Nadat hy die dogter van die hoof van die gevangenis van blindheid genees het, is hy na Keiser Claudius gebring. Valentyn moes kies tussen sy lewe en sy geloof. Hy het sy geloof gekies en is gemartel en onthoof.

Sommige historici beweer dat die hele romantiese karakter van die dag die idee was van ‘n middeleeuse Engelse skrywer, Geoffrey Chaucer. (Tien uit tien vir hom) Maar of jy jou nou aan Valentynsdag steur of nie, dink jy nie ook dis ‘n goeie idee om minstens eenmaal ‘n jaar die liefde te vier nie? ‘n Hele paar mans voer aan dat “Elke dag mos maar Valentynsdag is omdat ek altyd my geliefde waardeer en bederf.” In sommige gevalle behoort dit moontlik waar te wees. Vir die res, dink ek, is dit net ‘n verskoning. In alle geval, mag ‘n vrou daaraan gewoond raak om

elke dag bederf te word en verwag sy dalk ook nou en dan ietsie anders. (Ek is seker maar net jaloers) Of jy nou een van die gelukkiges is wat elke dag in liefde toegevou is, of net nou en dan ‘n ietsie kry, dink ek ons kan maar die liefde vier.

Dis ‘n goeie idee, veral as mens dink waarvoor Valentyn werklik gesterf het. Dit behoort te gaan oor baie meer as net romantiese liefde.

Liefde is immers die grootste emosie. Dis vir seker so dat enigeen wat liefde in sy geloof vind, ‘n gelukkiger en rustiger mens is. Vier die liefde in jou geloof. ‘n Mens kan nie ander lief hê as jy nie ook vir jouself lief is nie. Dis soms vir ons baie moeilik. Ons is grootgemaak met die idee dat jy jouself minder moet ag as ander maar selfliefde is nie dieselfde as arrogansie nie. Net omdat jy jouself lief het, beteken nie dat jy dink jy is beter as ander nie.

Liefde is nie soos ‘n bus met beperkte sitplek nie. Dis soos ‘n goeie oefensessie; hoe meer mense jy lief het, hoe meer kan jy liefhê.

En dit begin by jouself.

Ek dink mense misgis hulle as hulle dink ons lewe is voltooi as iemand ons lief het.

Nee, dis veel eerder die geval dat elke mens die brandende begeerte het om iemand of iets buite hulself lief te hê. Die vermoë en die geleentheid om liefde te bewys, is wat ons voltooi. Vier daarom hierdie Valentynsdag al die liefde in jou lewe, van ‘n troeteldier tot ‘n geliefde. En as jy dalk alleen is, kyk gerus net ‘n bietjie rondom jou: daar is altyd iemand om lief te kry en gelukkig te maak, as jy nie net aan romanse dink nie.

Gelukkige Valentynsdag vir elkeen.

Skenk bloed en laat iemand se hart klop MaRiëttE SnydER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Bloeddiens (SANBD) in samewerking met Aïda Polokwane en Protea Hotel Ranch Resort hou Saterdag (9 Februarie) ‘n bloedskenkdag en nooi die publiek om vir Valentynsdag ‘n geskenk te gee wat iemand se hart kan laat klop.

Me Dottie Pinn, skakelbeampte van SANBD Limpopo sê een eenheid bloed kan die lewens van tot drie mense red.

“Doen jou deel vir jou medemens deur tyd uit jou besige skedule te neem om bloed te skenk. Elke individu wat onbaatsugtig hulp aanbied, maak ‘n daadwerklike verskil aan ‘n ander se lewe,” sê sy.

Aïda en Protea Hotel Ranch Resort het groot pryse geborg en Pinn sê skenkers kan uitsien na ‘n heerlike bederf as hulle van 09:00 tot 15:00 by Savannah Mall bloed skenk.

Om te skenk moet jy tussen die ouderdom van 16 en 65 jaar wees, meer as 50 kg weeg, ‘n veilige seksuele leefstyl lei en die dag van die skenking gesond wees.

Frik Snyman gelukkig in kreatiewe ruimte >> Ou geboue gaan nie vir nageslag behoue bly >> Kunstenaars op eie bodem word misgekyk MaRiëttE SnydER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com

Mnr Frik Snyman sê sy werk as bestuurder van ‘n plaaslike kunsgalery is kos vir sy siel.

The Housing Development Agency (HDA) is a national public development agency that promotes the development of sustainable communities by making well-located and appropriately planned land and buildings available for the development of housing and human settlements. As its primary activity, the Agency assembles and releases public, private and communal land for development. Its main objectives are to identify, acquire, hold, develop and release well-located land and buildings, and to provide project management support and housing development services.

m elke dag by jou werkplek omring te wees met mooi goed wat jou siel voed, is vir mnr Frik Snyman, bestuurder van ‘n plaaslike kunsgalery beskore.

Die afgelope tien jaar is hy by Eloff Gallery werksaam en beskryf dit as die plek waar hy gelukkig is en sy aangenaamste tye spandeer omdat dit deel van sy belangstellingsveld is.

Hy sê hy het vinnig die kuns van raamwerk bemeester en geniet elke oomblik daarvan.

As kreatiewe siel het Snyman besluit om na skool interieurontwerp te studeer en het in 2001 sy nasionale diploma aan die TswaneUniversiteit van Tegnologie verwerf. Raamwerk

was deel van sy kursusinhoud en om by ‘n galery aan te sluit ‘n vanselfsprekende keuse.

Hy beskryf homself as ‘n Bosveldmens met Limpopo as veilige hawe waar hy homself in die natuur kan uitleef. Hy raak liries oor Polokwane se argitektuur en sê dit is hartseer om te sien hoe ou geboue verrinneweer en afgeskeep word. “Ons het pragtige geboue wat ongelukkig nie vir ons nageslag behoue gaan bly nie,” vertel hy.

Oor kuns meen hy: “Ek hou van potloodsketse en kunstenaars wat hul emosie op doek kan weergee. Dit verskaf my ure se plesier om na kunswerke wat in die galery uitgestal word, te kyk. Ek kry egter min tyd om self die kwas op die doek te sit, maar gaan in die toekoms moeite doen om die passie uit te leef.”

Hy meen dat die stad se kunstenaars nie genoeg ondersteun word nie. “Kunskopers woon feeste by en besoek galerye buite ons provinsie se grense om kuns te bekom, maar hulle kyk die talent op eie bodem mis.” Die matte, kuns en muurbehangsels by dié galery is keurig gekies en sal ‘n fokuspunt in enige huis wees.

Sy werksplek is nie net ‘n plek waarheen hy soggens gaan om sy salaris te verdien nie, maar dit is ook die plek waar hy sy vrou ontmoet het en waar hy toegelaat word om inisiatief te gebruik en hom ten volle te kan uitleef. Tuis spandeer hy tyd saam met sy vrou en voeg laggend by dat hy nie juis saam met haar in die tuin werk nie, maar gewillig die pik swaai of tuinvurk in die grond steek, sou sy dit vereis.

hoe die dag vir minnaars ontstaan het

MaRiëttE SnydER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com

O

p 14 Februarie werk Cupido met sy pylkoker en pyle weer hard as Valentynsdag wêreldwyd gevier word met sjokolade, blomme, kaartjies en bederfgoed wat tussen geliefdes uitgeruil word. Maar waar het dié viering ontstaan en hoekom word dit so slaafs nagevolg?

Begin jy na die oorsprong van dié dag soek, is daar verskillende verhale wat sover terug strek as 270vC, vertellings uit die Romeinse era, priesters van die luperci-kultus wat ‘n reis na die grot onderneem het en op twee seuns, Romulus en Remus afgekom het wat deur ‘n wolf versorg is en ‘n magdom ander verhale wat oor die tye opgeskryf is.

Nog inligting dui daarop dat Valentynsdag se oorsprong nie juis ‘n dag van liefde was nie.

Dié dag het glo

sy oorsprong van die antieke Romeinse fees van Lupercalis gekry. Daar word vertel dat St Valentyn van Rome moontlik een van drie mense genaamd, Valentyn‘n priester in Rome, ‘n biskop van Interamna en ‘n man uit Afrika wat ‘n marteldood gesterf het, is. Inligting lui dat Pous Julius I ongeveer 270vC ‘n kerk naby Ponte Mole gebou het ter gedagtenis aan St Valentyn en só die eerste offisiële Valentynsdag op 14 Februarie 496vC ter herinnering aan dié gemartelde priester in Rome aangekondig het. ‘n Meer romantiese prentjie word tydens die middeleeue oor dié dag geskilder. Liefde en selfs ongeoorloofde liefde het in die koninklike howe geblom en daar is waargeneem dat Februarie die maand is waartydens voëls vir ‘n maat begin uitkyk.

Maak nie saak waar dié dag ontstaan het en hoe dit die afgelope eeue gevier is nie, een ding is seker die misterie van die liefde sal nog lank bly en gevier word.

>> Polokwane Observer asked some prominent personalities in the province whether they celebrate Valentine’s Day and what the best gifts they’ve ever received are.

• Health and Social Development MEC, Dr Norman Mabasa: “Yes I do celebrate Valentine’s Day. I wouldn’t like to rate any gift given or received in that the best was the spirit behind the gift given or received, which was love. But I would enjoy a Valentine’s outing, possibly coastal with someone I love.”

• Safety, Security and Liaison MEC, Ms Florence Radzilani does not celebrate Valentine’s Day but the best gift she has ever received and given is a Bible.

• South African Communist Party (SACP) Provincial Secretary, Mr Gilbert Kganyago also does not celebrate Valentine’s Day and said he has never celebrated it.

• Black Management Forum (BMF) Provincial Chairperson, Mr Sam Maloka does celebrate Valentine’s Day. “I treat it like a normal day but I observe it. The best gift I’ve received and given is a Valentine’s Day dinner.”

• Limpopo Gambling Board Chief Executive Officer, Mr Serobi Maja said he celebrates the day. “I celebrate it and I think the best gift one can give orreceive is love and commitment.”

• Provincial Secretary of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), Mr Dan Sebabi does celebrate the day.”I normally spoil my wife with flowers and a clothing item and the best gift I have ever received from her was a very good quality suit.”

>> With only a few days left before Valentine’s Day, Polokwane Observer asked residents their plans to celebrate the day.

• Mr Philip Maeta: “My girlfriend is not around, she is in Gauteng. It is going to be little bit of a challenge but I think I will survive.”

• Mr Eleck Khoza: “I will be with my wife. I have bought her something special but I can’t say what it is because she might read this and spoil the surprise.”

• Mr Takalani Sithi: “I have already bought flowers and chocolates for my girlfriend. We are going to Mphepu Resort to unwind and ponder the future.”

• Mr Mitlas Lamola: “I will be working on the day, but I will be with the love of my life after work.”

Five-star dining at Ranch Resort

>> Realised at age of 14 that he has talent for cooking

bEn SnyMan >> bensnyman.observer@gmail.com

F

ine dining is about to get new meaning at Protea Hotel Ranch Resort with the recent appointment of trained and five-star experienced executive chef, Mr Daniel Gee. Gee (33) is putting his chef’s signature and excellent managerial skills to good use at the resort’s Basil’s and Buttery Restaurants. He has already changed the banqueting and restaurant menus and said in the near future the resort’s restaurants will be hosting regular food tasting events and themed evenings.

Originally from the United Kingdom (UK), Gee realised at the early age of 14 that he had a talent for cooking while helping his grandmother to bake cakes for family and friends.

Since then cooking has became his passion, hobby and lifestyle.

Gee cooked his way through the ranks of two “AA Rosette” Kitchens in the UK, moving up from commis chef to chef de partie and then sous chef before moving to South Africa.

Upon arrival here he was appointed as executive chef at a five-star boutique hotel, Falcons View manor in Knysna. During his five years stay there he was awarded the AA Fine Dining Fabulous Food Award in 2007.

He also showed off his cooking talent at the well attended and popular Gatronomica Food Festival.

In Pretoria he worked as executive chef for the catering company that feeds the high ranks of the Department of International Relations and Cooperation, including Heads of State,

ambassadors and various ministers.

Gee is passionate about fine dining and says that no two chefs’ food ever taste the same. The secret to a winning recipe is to always be honest with the ingredients. Always use quality ingredients, set an ambience, use professional waiters to serve and make sure that the presentation is just right.

When not on duty Gee loves cooking his favourite homemade pastas and wild mushroom risotto for his wife. He said that good food and cooking brings the world together, either by loving someone’s cooking or joining in to help.

Gee invites anyone in need of a special menu for a special occasion, be it a corporate event, anniversary, birthday or wedding to make an appointment with him and he ensures them of his personal attention. He looks forward to meeting the local public.

Valentynsdag 2013

geskenkidees vir Valentynsdag M

ans en vroue is nou maar eenmaal uiteenlopende wesens en hierdie verskil word duidelik met die koop van geskenke vir Valentynsdag onderstreep.

Die maklike opsie vir veral mans is om by die naaste winkel in te hardloop en binne oomblikke ‘n gepaste item van die rak te kies en te betaal. Ongelukkig bly oorspronklikheid en sentiment dikwels agterweë.

Slaan haar voete só onder haar uit: Dink oorspronklik. In plaas van ‘n teddiebeer, kan jy haar bederf met ‘n koopbewys van ‘n skoonheidsalon wat ‘n massering, manikuur en gesigsbehandeling insluit.

Gee vir haar, in plaas van rooi rose, rose in verskeie kleure. Doen vooraf moeite om uit te vind wat die simboliek agter elke rooskleur is en vertel haar hoekom jy elkeen aan haar gee.

Hou ‘n week lank Valentynsdag. Los elke dag van die week, voor 14 Februarie, ‘n klein geskenkie onder haar kopkussing waarmee jy vir haar sê hoeveel sy vir jou beteken.

As dit te duur is, gebruik spesiale handgeskrewe notas in plaas van geskenke. ‘n Loterykaartjie, maar nie ‘n gewone een nie, is oorspronklik. Kies al die spesiale datums wat vir julle albei belangrik is – die eerste afspraak, die eerste soen, die datum van jul verlowing en troudag. Dit sal haar wys dat dié dae vir jou net so belangrik is as vir haar.

Berei vir haar ‘n tuisgemaakte ete voor. En moenie sê jy kan nie. Laat jou ma of suster vooraf vir jou wys hoe om ‘n paar lekker maklike disse voor te berei. Sorg dat die nagereg ‘n treffer is én sjokolade bevat.

Gordyne vir die sitkamer is ‘n goeie idee. Moet dit liefs nie self kies nie, maar neem haar op Valentynsdag om splinternuwe gordyne en bankoortreksels te kies. ‘n Vrou se huis lê haar na aan die hart en met dié gebaar sal jy haar laat voel dat jy haar verstaan en regtig gedink het oor wat sy graag wil hê.

Slaan sy voete onder hom uit: ‘n Nota in sy voertuig, broek- of hempsak of kussingsloop oor redes hoekom jy vir hom lief is, of ’n spesiale SMS of eposboodskap. ‘n PowerPoint-aanbieding wat jy self gemaak

liefde is …

Rc MybuRgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

Elkeen van ons het ‘n eie mening oor wat liefde is en omskryf dit in ons eie woorde soos ons dit daagliks ervaar.

Sommige meen dit is ‘n wilsbesluit terwyl ander glo dit kom uit die hart en dit is ‘n gevoel wat jy nie kan keer nie. Ander sê weer daar bestaan nie iets soos ware liefde nie.

As ‘n mens op die internet rondkrap, kry jy die oulikste sêgoed van mense wat die liefde beskryf.

Liefde is .... “...wanneer die verliefdheid oor is en jy agterkom dat jou maat ook net ‘n normale mens met foute is, kies jy om hom of haar nog steeds lief te hê. Al lyk sy of hy nie meer so jonk, jeugdig of vaartbelyn die dag toe julle getroud is nie.” “...om saam te lag, met mekaar en vir mekaar. Liefde is om dinge saam te doen, om dit sommer net te geniet om saam te wees.” “...is iets wat nie vanself kom nie, maar is soos ‘n klein plantjie wat elke dag versorg moet word. Kyk jy mooi daarna, word dit ‘n pragtige, gesonde, groot plant. Verwaarloos jy dit, gaan dit kwyn en later sterf.” “... ‘n houtkruis teen alleenheid, ‘n steunpilaar in pyn, ‘n skouer om op te huil, ‘n hand wat weet wanneer om jou vas te hou. Dit is ‘n kombers teen die koue en sambreel teen die reën.”

Die Bybel is sekerlik die boek wat die liefde die beste omskryf. Die liefde as grootste gebod word in 1 Korintiërs 13 beskryf: “Die liefde is geduldig, die liefde is vriendelik; dit is nie afgunstig nie, is nie grootpraterig nie, is nie verwaand nie. Dit

Red is many things in one

NeWS

obSERVER 23 polokwane

yolandE nEl >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Red. Or rouge in French, vermell in Catalan, rot in German, punainen in Finnish, rojo in Spanish and czerwony in Polish.

It is not just a colour. It is many things in one.

It is supposed to revive one spiritually. It is also a feeling inspired by the tone that nestles between red violet and red orange on the colour wheel.

It is the colour of a bunch of roses, red hot chilli peppers and bloody Marys. Pomegranate, raspberry jam and velvet cake.

Red comes in sticky lip lustre.

It is the sexy twist in the tango.

The blood that gushes through our veins.

It is the va-va-va-voom of a sporty red roadster.

It appears in the flags of countries across the globe, symbolising certain characteristics of

a nation.

Ochre red clay pots are testimony to an origin from Limpopo soil.

It is a magnificent setting sun that drops in behind the horizon as it bows to a silver half-moon.

Red is the colour of the balloons in that one song, the lollipop shoes on the cover of Joanne Harris’s book and two cloaks in the wind in the film Chocolate.

Oh, and it resembles the sheen heart clutched between the paws of the pink soft toy teddy bear you’re going to buy your Valentine this year...

Resep vir ‘n gelukkige huwelik het, met foto’s van julle twee, mooi herinneringe en redes hoekom jy mal is oor hom.

Gee hom ‘n tuisgemaakte koopbewys vir ‘n afspraak by jóú ‘salon’.

Bederf hom met ‘n voetbehandeling, massering en‘n egte, romantiese outydse skeersessie.

Reël vir hom ‘n manlike uitstappie soos ‘n begeleide toer waartydens ‘n wilde dier verdoof word om dalk ‘n besering te behandel of vir navorsingsdoeleindes. Hy sal mal wees oor die idee dat jy hom die geleentheid gee om die natuur eerstehands te ervaar.

Probeer ‘n aksiesportsoort saam met hom soos rotsklim, hangsweef of valskermspring. As hy iets van die sportsoort af weet en jou kan leer, sal dit hom goed laat voel. Die feit dat jy jou vrese opsy skuif in ‘n poging om dit saam met hom te doen, sal hom aanspoor om sy waardering teenoor jou te toon. ‘n Nuwe skildery vir sy kantoor. Neem hom na ‘n kunskafee vir ‘n lekker liefdesontbyt. Sê daarna aan hom dat jy vir hom nog ‘n verrassing het, en dat hy sy eie skildery vir sy kantoor by dieselfde winkel kan kies. Elke keer wat hy daarna kyk, sal hy aan jou dink.

Wat wie ook al doen, onthou dat woorde enige mens se hart kan omtower. Gee, saam met jou geskenk, ‘n spesiale kaartjie om hom/haar net weer te herinner aan jou liefde.

handel nie onwelvoeglik nie, soek nie sy eie belang nie, is nie liggeraak nie, hou nie boek van die kwaad nie.

Dit verbly hom nie oor onreg nie, maar verheug hom oor die waarheid. Dit bedek alles, glo alles, hoop alles, verdra alles. Die liefde vergaan nooit nie, maar die gawe van profesie sal verdwyn, die gawe om ongewone tale en klanke te gebruik, sal ophou, en dié van kennis sal uitgedien raak.”

As jy die Valentynsdag, soos veral in films, by jou geliefde se venster wil gaan staan en ‘n liefdeslied vir hom of haar sing of ‘n gedig opsê, oorweeg gerus Deon Opperman se gedig: “Wat is liefde, hoe weet jy dit is waar, Is dit iets wat jy versigtig soos geld kan spaar, Pluk dit aan jou hart soos druppels aan ‘n blaar, Soos wind aan ‘n spinnerak, soos vingers aan ‘n snaar?

Wat is liefde en kan jy daarteen stry, Is dit iets wat jou verslaaf, of iets wat jou bevry, Sal dit jou die pad wys, of sal dit jou mislei, Sal dit soos die mis kwyn, of sal dit ewig bly?

Jy vra my wat is liefde?...dis die soetste, soetste seer, Dis hartseer en verlange, en ‘n duisend dinge meer, dis lenteson, en winterreën en somer donderweer, Dis alles wat jou hart soek, en niks wat hy kan keer.

Die digters sê dis waansin, sonder rede, sonder hoop, ‘n Pad wat selfs ‘n engel sal huiwer om te loop, ‘n Dorsmasjien waar duiwels ‘n mens se siel kaal stroop, Die duurste ding wat man of vrou met murg en bloed kan koop. “

Rc MybuRgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com “1 koppie oplettendheid, 2 koppies aanmoediging, 1 liter geduld, 2 eetlepels komplimente, 1 koppie bemoediging en 1 kg geloof en vertroue.”

Dit is hoe iemand op die sosiale netwerk, facebook die bestanddele van ‘n gelukkige huwelik beskryf.

Dan volg die metode: “Neem liefde en lojaliteit en meng deeglik met geloof. Meng in vriendelikheid en begrip. Voeg vriendskap en verrassings by en roer goed. Voeg passie om die beurt met ‘n oorvloed lag by. Bak met son en reënboë. Garneer met vergifnis en bedagsaamheid. Bedien daagliks met liefdevolle porsies.”

Soos onderaan elke resep waar die skrywer die porsies vir die hoeveelheid mense aandui, sê die resep: “Genoeg vir twee mense Lewenslank.”

Ds Frans Oosthuizen van die Hervormde Kerk Pietersburg sê hy het eendag iets gelees wat baie opvallend oor die huwelik was. “Die skrywer het gesê om ‘n wenresep vir die huwelik te hê moet jy elke dag voor die spieël staan en jouself afvra hoe sou dit gewees het as jy met die persoon in die spieël getroud was. Dit is belangrik om eers die balk uit jou eie oog te haal voordat jy die splinter in jou geliefde s’n raaksien,” sê hy.

Volgens ‘n plaaslike huweliksberader, me Charlene Enslin is daar nie ‘n resep nie, maar sy meen dat kommunikasie sekerlik die belangrikste faktor van ‘n gelukkige huwelik is. “As daar nie kommunikasie is nie, is daar plek vir misverstande wat op sy beurt weer tot konflik lei,” sê sy.

Sy sê dat mense verskil en een party hoef nie altyd saam te stem nie, maar steeds moet goeie en deeglike kommunikasie gevoer word. ‘n Gebrek aan respek vir mekaar kan ook tot konflik lei.

hartsvriendinne vir elke dag se herdenking >> Ruimte vir die uitdeel van hartsgoed aan hartsmense >> Verleen ‘n ander dimensie aan ‘n mens se bestaan yolandE nEl >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Die herdenking van Valentynsdag hoef nie noodwendig net te gaan oor geliefdes wat met ‘n kaartjie, blomme en snoepgoed dit wat in die hart is met mekaar deel nie.

Dit laat ook ruimte vir die uitdeel van hartsgoed aan hartsmense.

Hartsvriendinne tel onder hulle. Daardie individue wat jou ken soos jy is. Vir wie jy geheime kan vertel en weet hulle sal nie oordeel nie. Diegene wie se vriendskap die toets van die tyd deurstaan het.

Hulle verleen ‘n ander dimensie aan ‘n mens se bestaan. Hartsvriendinne het ‘n skouer om op te huil. ‘n Laatnagoproep om sorge te deel of te vertel waarvan die hart vol is. Begrip sonder daardie halwe woord wat soms tydmors is.

Of tyd inruim vir ‘n glas wyn op ‘n soel somersaand in die

tuin. Hulp met ‘n skooltaak of raad oor die aankoop van ‘n geskikte skooltas. ‘n Lang gesels oor die foon of ‘n vinnige teksboodskap om te sê sterkte met dit wat voorlê. ‘n Paar hale met ‘n verfkwas op ‘n doek of iets van glas met haar uitstalrak in gedagte. ‘n Onverwagte bos blomme op ‘n grou dag. ‘n Hart aan ‘n lint wat vir elke dag se waardeer bedoel is. ‘n String krale wat met geduld gemaak is. Of ‘n foto op facebook wat herinneringe oproep. Die persoon vir wie die ekstra sitplek by ‘n tafel gereserveer word. ‘n Uitnodiging na ‘n spesiaal voorbereide aandete.

Iemand wat sal verstaan waarom jy heeldag in jou pajamas deurbring of goed doen sonder voorskrifte. Dis die deel van ‘n brownie met ‘n dubbel skeut sjokolade vir brekfis. Dit is iemand wat jou verjaarsdag vergeet. ‘n Vriendin wat met jou verjaarsdag iets gee waaraan niemand anders ooit sou dink nie. ‘n Sielsgenoot wat jou vergewe dat jy met verloop van tyd nog nie haar nuwe huis gaan besigtig het nie.

Daardie persoon wat jou eerste bel met blye nuus oor ‘n langverwagte aankomeling. Die teenwoordigheid van ‘n hartsvriendin in mens se lewe het nogal baie te doen met goed waarvoor ander nie begrip hoef te hê nie.

Die sesjarige John-Ross Donovan en vyfjarige eunice Suter van erica Pre-Primêre Skool het nog nie ‘n begrip van die herdenking van Valentynsdag nie, maar was baie geïnteresseerd in die rooi balonne wat hulle tydens die fotosessie moes vashou. Sy massiewe grootmensskoene is naderhand uitgeskop en haar oorbelle het ‘n plek in ’n Barbie-handsak gevind. John-Ross se ooglopende sin vir humor het tot die verlangde visuele effek bygedra.

O

m 57 jaar getroud te wees en elke dag jou wederhelf te waardeer vir wie hy of sy is, is nie vir enigeen beskore nie.

Mnr Ronald Pingo (79) en sy vrou, Lida (78) vier op 25 Mei vanjaar hul 58ste huweliksherdenking en is nog net so verlief soos die dag in 1955 toe hulle trou aan mekaar beloof het.

Oor Valentynsdag sê hulle: “In die ou dae was dié viering nie so groot

soos vandag nie. Dit is ‘n geldmaakstorie.” Ronald meen: “Moedersdag beteken vir my baie meer omdat die vrou aan my sy vir my vyf wonderlike kinders in die lewe gebring het.”

Die twee het geweet hulle is vir mekaar bedoel en was sedert hul skooljare goeie vriende. Na slegs drie maande wat hulle amptelik uitgegaan het, het hulle die knoop deurgehak. Ronald het voor hul troue in die Kaap gewoon en Lida in Johannesburg. Hy het haar in ‘n brief gevra om te trou

en sy het opgewonde die jawoord per telegram gestuur.

Oor die liefde sê hulle: “Die lewe gaan oor liefde. As julle nie vir mekaar lief is nie, kan jy vir niks op aarde lief wees nie.” Lida maak seker dat sy elke dag vir Ronald ‘n heerlike ete voorsit en hy bederf haar op sy beurt met ‘n koppie tee.

Mnr Ronald en me Lida Pingo is na 57 jaar getroude lewe steeds verlief.

daardie eerste liefde se gevoel word altyd onthou nataliE lootS >>natalie.observer@gmail.com Almal beleef iewers die gevoel van eerste liefde.

Daardie gevoel wat jou maag laat bollemakiesie slaan en jou duiselig laat voel as jy daardie persoon sien as hy of sy net verbystap.

Polokwane Observer het ‘n paar

lesers gevra wat hulle daarvan onthou.

Me Tanya Prins se man, Michael was haar eerste liefde. Sy was 16 toe hulle die eerste keer ontmoet het en hulle is al agt jaar saam. Sy hoop dat hulle net nog meer goeie herinneringe saam sal hê.

Me Christine Steyn het haar eerste liefde op veertienjarige ouderdom beleef. “Ons het baie van mekaar

Mense beleef die eerste liefde anders maar almal is dit eens dat hy of sy jou hart laat fladder het en jou knieë lam gemaak het.

V

ir die meeste mans is Valentynsdag ‘n kopseer omdat die vroue in hulle lewens waarskynlik iets spesiaals vir dié dag verwag. Dit is ook nie skrikkeljaar nie en dus moet die manne maar opdok.

Gelukkig het Polokwane geen tekort aan romantiese bestemmings nie. Daar is oorgenoeg opsies as jy die spesiale persoon wil bederf met ‘n romantiese ete of haar of hom wil verras vir‘n naweekwegbreek. Van klein, intieme eetplekkies tot vyfsterrestaurante met alles wat jou hart begeer,

natuurlik teen ‘n prys. ‘n Paar idees: Met ‘n meer beperkte begroting, probeer Ambiance Restaurant in Rabéstraat vir goeie kos en ‘n rustige atmosfeer, veral in die aand. Die stemming is betowerend met bome vol kersliggies en kerse op die tafels onder die sterreruim.

Vir ‘n meer formele en elegante atmosfeer is Fusion Boutique Hotel se vyfsterrestaurant, Saskia, die antwoord waar jy tot in die kelder of op die dak jou intieme ete kan geniet.

Die kos en diens is voortreflik en sal enige vrou soos ‘n koningin laat voel.

Vir ‘n ekstra bederf kan jy in die hotel

oorslaap in een van die betowerende suites met ‘n spesiale tema.

As jy vir die dag uit die stadsgewoel wil wegkom, is Protea Hotel Ranch Resort die ideale plek waar julle ontbyt, middag- of aandete met ‘n spesiale atmosfeer kan geniet en selfs tyd afknyp vir ‘n staptog saam met die leeus. Oorslaapgeriewe is van topgehalte en die gholfbaan die ideale ontspanningsplek.

Vir ‘n meer persoonlike uitstappie kan Vleislapa jou help met lekkernye soos sjampanje, biltong, droëwors en sjokolade in ‘n geskenkpak as deel van jou piekniekmandjie. Geskikte bestemmings buite die stad is onder meer die Polokwane Natuurreservaat, Magoebaskloof en Haenertsburg.

Die Debegeniwatervalle kan altyd sterk oorweeg word.

Dit maak nie saak hoe groot of klein jou begroting is nie, daar is geen verskoning waarom jy nie daardie spesiale persoon in jou lewe kan wys hoe jy voel nie.

Al is dit dan ook net met stywe vet drukke en ‘n onvergeetlike soen.

direct link between sunbed use and skin cancer >> Support their information and market day >> Help reduce the burden of cancer MaRiëttE SnydER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com The Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) will be hosting an information and market day at Library Gardens from 08:00 to 14:00 on Saturday, 9 February and urges the community to support them in their quest to educate children about the dangers of using sun beds.

This event is organised as part of World Cancer Day that was celebrated worldwide on 4 February.

Ms Sue Janse van Rensburg, Cansa’s Chief Executive Officer said as part of World Cancer Day they presented Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Gwen Ramokgopa with a document of support to ban the use of sun beds by persons under the age of 18.

“World Cancer Day reminds us that every

person, group and government can do their bit to help reduce the burden of cancer. The focus for 2013 is on dispelling common myths around cancer and specifically the common belief that using sun beds or tanning booths does not cause skin cancer.” said Janse van Rensburg.

She added that they want to raise awareness around the unregulated sun bed industry because of the direct link between sun bed use and the incidence of skin cancer.

She further stated that Cansa staff and volunteers actively collected over 16 000 signatures nationally supporting the requested ban. “Should this be realised, South Africa would be among the first 20 countries to ban the use of sun beds to persons younger than 18. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, includes tanning devices on its list of the most dangerous cancer causing agents – a list that includes plutonium and cigarettes,” Janse van Rensburg said.

For more information about the information and market day, contact Mss Ria du Plessis on 083 259 2790, Vhutshilo Makwarela on 082 822 4852 or Enny Mashapa on 083 694 1299.

polokwane chemical Suppliers celebrates 20 years of excellence Rc MybuRgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

F

rom what used to be a small business run from a garage on a smallholding outside Polokwane to a multimillion Rand factory employing 89 people in two decades is the success story behind Polokwane Chemical Suppliers (PCS) which is celebrating its 20th birthday this year.

PCS is an example of what can be accomplished through hard work by dedicated, trained personnel to turn one man’s vision into a role player to be reckoned with in the economy of the city.

PCS Marketing Manager, Mr Voni Mampane recalled how the company started in 1993 in his father’s garage based on the idea of buying and selling bubble bath, floor polish and fabric softener.

In 2003 Mr Walter Mampane, PCS Chief Executive Officer, moved the company to its present premises in 45 Emerald Street, Futura, Polokwane. “With the help of the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) and other business consulting agencies we managed to streamline the business and are now proud to say we have administrative, marketing, production and dispatch departments with over 40 products on our stock list,” he said.

By 2005 PCS was flourishing, lending itself

to the addition of a production line adjacent to their premises. Recently the opportunity arose to generate a position for a general manager.

PCS offers a variety of products such as cleaning products, polishes, waxes, bleach, floor strippers, fabric softeners, stain removers, sanitizers, detergents and gels.

The road ahead looks rosy according to Voni. “We are currently building a new, fully automated manufacturing plant in Tin Street which is almost completed. This will enable us to package smaller quantities like 500 ml and 1 litre containers. Our toilet paper factory is also fully operational and employs five people currently,” he said.

He added that they intend moving to that premises in future but for now will continue to produce bigger quantity goods at the current premises. The company sells wholesale and direct to the public and anyone is welcome to make their purchases there.

Voni explained that their products are highly concentrated with a quality control system in place which is in line with the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) and we strive towards consistency and affordability.

PCS not only focuses on doing business and making money, they contribute to the welfare of surrounding communities in various ways. “In May or June we are hosting the sod turning ceremony of a church that we are building in the Sekhukhune area. This year

each department will also adopt a school for the disabled to contribute to in various ways of educating our future,” he said.

He added that PCS previously donated money to 30 schools in the area, but decided that by adopting a school they can be more involved in the development thereof.

Businesswise PCS delivers to Limpopo,

Gauteng and Mpumalanga. They plan on intensifying their marketing in Gauteng and will soon expand to North-West.

In February PCS will also start with their road shows again in order to bring their products to the clients.

Mampane said as part of their 20th celebrations clients can look forward to special offers where a variety of products will be discounted massively. Clients can also enter a competition with great prizes. The draw will take place on 28 March. Contact PCS for more information.

The Management and Staff of Dr J Van Der Merwe Radiologist wish to congratulate Polokwane Chemical Suppliers on their

20th anniversary.

Thank you for your loyal support these past years and be assured of our ongoing and prompt assistance.

We would highly recommend you to all our patients.

Happy 20th Birthday PCS Chemical Suppliers from Far North Plastics Tel: 015 293 0513

olokwane inwoners gaan op 9 Maart by die Eskol-gemeente die geleentheid kry om ‘n man wat alles verloor en nou sy lewensverhaal met die gemeenskap én diegene in dieselfde situasie as waarin hy was deel, te ontmoet.

Lourens Groenewald het as jong polisielid in 1976 ‘n rits klagte van aanranding teen hom gehad nadat hy die reg soms in eie hande geneem en geglo het dat dit sy reg is om swartmense voor die voet dood te maak.

Nadat hy uit die polisie bedank het, het hy ses keer in rehabilitasiesentrums beland weens alkoholmisbruik en sy huwelik het ook in die slag gebly.

Later het hy ook aan hoesmedisyne en slaappille verslaaf geraak. Nadat hy die laaste keer uit ‘n rehablilitasiesentrum ontslaan is, het hy gevoel dat die Here direk met hom praat. Die boodskap was duidelik - Met God se wil in sy lewe, kan hy ’n ander pad stap. Dit sal swaar wees, maar dit sal die moeite werd wees.

Daar en dan het hy besluit om sy lewe positief te verander en sy hart vir die Here gegee.

Hy het toe by verskeie skuilings herberg gevind waar hy die evangelie aan hulpbehoewendes gebring het. In die proses het hy sy sangtalent ontdek en spog nou met ‘n CD, Too blessed to be stressed.

Hy het later vab die skuilings weggebreek, is weer getroud en voer tans ‘n bestendige

bestaan.

Sy boodskap aan skuiling-inwoners is: “Waar julle is, was ek. Waar ek is, moet julle kom. Kom ek vertel julle hoe.”

Groenewald gaan op 9 Maart tydens Myngenoegen Shelter se opedag ook sy boodskap uitdra. Vir meer besonderhede oor sy optrede om 18:30, kan me Christa van Tonder, komiteelid van die skuiling by 083 302 4313 geskakel word.

Lourens groenewald, gospelsanger en prediker besoek Myngenoegen Shelter op 9 Maart en tree om 18:30 by die eskol-gemeente op.

hoop vir Kinders bied aan kinders ‘n tuiste waar hul geborge voel MaRiëttE SnydER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com “Ons hoofdoel is nie om kinders se mae vol te kry en hulle te klee nie, maar om ‘n beter en normaal funksionerende lewe en toekoms vir die volgende generasie te verseker.”

So meen me Maryna Kruger, een van die stigterslede van Hoop vir Kinders.

Die Krugers neem al vir langer as twee dekades kinders van verskillende ouderdomme in hul huis en hart in wat soos hul eie versorg en grootgemaak word. Talle kinders oor ‘n tydperk van 25 jaar het by hulle ‘n tuiste gevind.

“Ons het nou maar ‘n sagte plekkie vir hulpbehoewende kinders. Omdat ons glo die wêreld sal ‘n beter plek wees as kinders ordentlik opgevoed word, sit ons hart en siel in om ‘n verskil in hul lewens te maak,” sê sy.

In 2004 het die nood in die stad hulle genoop om die Hoop vir Kinders-projek te begin en die eerste pleegsorghuis, Agape-huis met ses kinders begin. In 2005 is Elpiza-huis se deure geopen en in September 2006 is die Tiqvah-huis met behulp van die gemeenskap se mildelike bydrae geopen. Tans vind 14 kinders tussen 8 maande en 18 jaar by dié huise ‘n tuiste.

Die Melete-huis is mettertyd begin om behoeftige enkelma’s die geleentheid te gee om vir ‘n maksimum van ses maande saam met hul kinders in te woon. In dié tyd help Kruger en haar span die ma’s om werk te kry en ontvang opleiding om hulself en hul kinders se lewens weer op dreef te kry.

Die pleegsorghuise spog met uitnemende pleegouers wat die belange van die kinders eerste stel. “Kinders ervaar ‘n familieopset en word nie as weeskinders geëtiketteer nie. Hulle is normale kinders wat in ‘n normale omgewing grootword,” vertel sy.

Omdat die kinders meestal deel was van wanaangepaste gesinne waar hulle daagliks aan substansiemisbruik, geweld en molestering blootgestel is, is dit belangrik dat hulle ‘n nuwe leefwyse aanleer. Langtermynverhoudings word met die kinders gebou wat hulle ‘n gevoel van ‘ek behoort’ gee, vertel sy.

Terapie en sielkundige behandeling help dié kinders om trauma te verwerk en weer hoop vir die toekoms te gee. Hulle werk nou saam met welsynsorganisasies en maatskaplike werkers in die stad.

Hulle beplan om in samewerking met die Polokwane Kinder- en Gesinsorgvereniging ‘n ondersteunersgroep vir plaaslike pleegouers op die been te bring. “Só kan pleegouers saam oor daaglikse struikelblokke praat en raad uitruil. Sowat 90% van alle pleegsorgsituasies misluk juis omdat die kinders in hul tienerjare rebels raak en dié ouers nie opgewasse en ingelig is om die probleme aan te spreek nie,” vertel sy. Dié ondersteunersgroepbyeenkoms vind op 21 Februarie om 18:30 by die Agape Gemeente-lapa plaas. Kruger nooi alle pleegouers om by hulle aan te sluit.

audi polokwane launches new 2013 a4 allroad Quattro Rc MybuRgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

A

udi enthusiasts had the opportunity to view the 2013 Audi A4 allroad Quattro during its local launch at Audi Polokwane on Saturday.

The Audi A4 has become even more attractive with the Quattro’s new solutions for efficiency, driving dynamics and infotainment, along with an even more attractive design The A4 has been Audi’s bestseller for 39 years and is now in its eighth generation. With its elegance, sportiness and emotional appeal it forms the centrepiece of the Audi brand and now the design has become even more clearly defined and striking in all models, especially the allroad Quattro.

The new look further accentuates the horizontal lines at the front end. The engine hood is more arched, the upper corners of the single frame grille are tapered, and the cross ribs and the Audi rings are highlighted three-dimensionally.

The grille is painted gray, with high-gloss black on the six-cylinder models or in combination with the S line exterior package. The redesigned bumpers are striking with their angular air inlets, their revised grilles and the flat front fog lights. The A4 allroad Quattro is distinguished by the grille’s horizontal chrome applications and round fog lights.

The headlights have also changed, with a slight

wave at the bottom edges, and a re-arranged interior. Xenon plus headlights are available from Audi on request. The LED daytime running lights form a narrow, optically homogeneous band that remains open in the vicinity of the xenon lens. The adaptive light together with dynamic and static cornering lights is available on request.

The tail lights reflect the shape of the headlights, and in combination with xenon plus have homogeneous strips of LEDs. The bumper with its diffuser insert has been redesigned, with the exhaust system always terminating in two tailpipes.

The Quattro permanent all-wheel drive is standard on the A4 allroad Quattro, and available in the Sedan and Avant from the 2.0 TDI with 105 kW. The A4 family uses the self-locking centre differential here. In regular driving operation it primarily transmits the engine torque to the rear wheels in the ratio of 40 to 60. If necessary, redistribution occurs within the shortest possible time.

The torque vectoring function supplements the work of the centre differential with finely incremented brake applications, to make handling even more precise and safe.

In the V6 Quattro variants Audi offers the sport differential as a supplement, lending maximum precision and high traction to the allroad when cornering at the handling limits. The high-end component actively distributes the power between the rear wheels as required.

Barely able to contain their excitement about the audi a4 Quattro are Messrs Patrick Hlongwane, andré Diedericks, Riaan Knoetze and Tiaan Minnaar (Pre-owned Sales Manager). On the right are, from the back, Messrs Bologo Ntshavheni, Heinrich Faber, Mphuti Manamela, Rendani Mudau and Ms Nadia Boshoff.

>> Households’ ability to take advantage of the improved housing affordability continued to be affected >> Outstanding mortgage balances in the household sector showed growth of around 3%

T

he affordability of housing remained favourable during the course of 2012, reflected by the ratios of house prices and mortgage repayments to household disposable income.

According to the Absa Housing Review the first quarter of 2013 was the net result of trends in house price and income growth while the mortgage interest rate was on average somewhat lower in 2012 compared with 2011.

Loans property analyst said many households’ ability to take advantage of the improved housing affordability continued to be affected by factors such as income, savings, living costs, debt levels, as well as credit-risk profiles (as reflected by the state of consumer credit records), the National Credit Act and banks’ lending criteria in the case of the need for mortgage finance to buy a home.

He explained that a downward/ upward trend in the abovementioned two housing affordability ratios implies that house prices and mortgage repayments are rising at a slower/ faster pace than household disposable income. The result is that housing is in effect becoming more or less affordable. He pointed out that the value of outstanding mortgage balances in the household sector showed growth of around 3% year on year towards the end of 2012, reflecting of the state of household finances, consumer credit records, consumer confidence and residential property market conditions in general.

The ratio of outstanding household mortgage debt to disposable income was 41% in the third quarter of 2012

from 41,4% in the second quarter of 2013 as a result of quarter-onquarter growth of 0,7% in household mortgage debt and growth of 1,7% in nominal disposable income.

Households’ outstanding mortgage debt was 54% of total debt balances in the third quarter of 2012 from 54,5% in the preceding quarter and the cost of servicing household mortgage debt as a percentage of disposable income was 3,5% from 3,7% in quarter two of 2013. Du Toit said this was because of growth in household mortgage debt and nominal disposable income, impacting the mortgage debt ratio, as well as a lower mortgage interest rate in the third quarter.

On interest rates, he said because lending rates (banks’ prime and variable mortgage rates currently at 8.5% per annum) are at their lowest level in almost four decades and monthly mortgage repayments are in general 35,9% lower compared to early December 2008, when the mortgage rate was 15,5%. Low interest rates favour the affordability of mortgage finance, supporting the demand for housing and consumers’ ability to take up credit to buy property.

H

e has been to the far corners of the planet, braving an earthquake, being threatened by armed guards, sustaining a rubber bullet wound to the leg, falling off moving vehicles and being helped to his feet by ex-President Nelson Mandela while filming proceedings. She has spent her career on mostly hard news stories for which she has won a few awards. Together their story makes for exciting reading.

The golden unspoken rule of a scoop remaining a scoop is of utmost importance in the unison between SABC cameraman Llewellyn Carstens and wife Marietie Louw-Carstens, Beeld’s representative in Limpopo. With both being driven by news-related events, they indeed talk shop after a long day when they can relate to the same things as they find common ground in similar challenges, mentions Marietie.

When they relate their experiences in journalism they tell of exciting times. Llewellyn, who has been engaged in camera work for the past 22 years, has memories of covering all sorts of news. This varied from beauty pageants to rock shows and the then Sunshine Circuit while working in Gauteng. He spent a stint in Polokwane from 1995 to 2000 before

returning to Johannesburg for another five years where he worked on documentaries. This allowed him to explore the planet, shooting in places like Russia, China, India, America and in Africa, including Mozambique, the Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda. In 2001 he formed part of the team covering presidential news and travelled to several countries while Mr Thabo Mbeki held the position.

He once had to kiss goodbye a pair of new boots he wore while shooting the aftermath of an erupted volcano in Goma in the DRC, where he managed to cover a mere five metres of molten lava within 10 minutes on foot. On another occasion and accompanied by television personality Freek Robinson he was confronted by two soldiers on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. In Mumbai in India the two of them were questioned for filming the Police headquarters without realising it was a key structure. At a United Nations base in Angola he was accosted by two gunmen armed with AK-47s while feverishly filming while having limited opportunity.

He has fallen from a few moving vehicles and was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet in the past, Marietie laughingly adds to the tale.

After attempting for weeks to obtain permission to gain access to a prison in Peru for purposes of a documentary to be screened

on national television, he managed to shoot the core of a programme on South Africans in detention under cover within two days. During the visit he noticed the emblems of prisoners’ favourite soccer teams on the walls of the institution. As he came round a corner he was confronted by that of Orlando Pirates. Thousands of air miles from home it gave him goose bumps, Llewellyn says.

He has a stash of photos serving as memory of all the trips he had undertaken during his career. Asked which newsmaker he would single out, he is quick to relate a moment during which Mandela lent him a helping hand when he stepped back while filming the arrival of the newsmaker at old Peter Mokaba Stadium some time back and stumbled over a little girl whom Llewellyn did not notice passing behind him.

The then President subsequently stopped in his tracks to help him up after he took a dive, he laughs. He also has the customary posed shot with Mandela, taken at a plane on the tarmac in Durban.

Where he is continuously fixed on getting the best shot to provide the viewer with other

visual alternatives, Marietie is not as attuned to getting photos but the story instead. Working for a daily she has several scoops that come to mind. They are all stories the Afrikaans reading public will relate to... the account of Happy Sindane, the brutal murder of SBV guards, the court case against Modimolle resident Johan Kotzé, the kidnapping of a little girl in Pretoria and a fire gutting the station building in that city. She regards being bestowed the 2005 and 2007 Beeld awards for best correspondent as well as last year’s Journalist of the Year award as career highlights.

Marietie says whereas she cannot go without news updates for longer than two days, Llewellyn can switch off and take to locations on his mountain bike. With these two people eating, breathing and dreaming aspects of journalistic expression, no one would blame them then that phrases like “on the scene” form part of their household vocabulary.

They share a love for the province, which Marietie says is dear to her. While she likens living in Limpopo to being home, Llewellyn says that of the entire country. They choose to define Limpopo’s heartbeat by referring to its cultural diversity. They find the people peace-loving and friendly. Most amazing of all are Limpopo’s landscapes, reckons Llewellyn. It is his wife who has the last say though: “Limpopo is being treated as the stepchild of South Africa. It is a pity. We have forests, baobabs, everything...”

hERbERt RachuEnE >>herbert@mailbox.co.za Phalaborwa has been declared the permanent home of the Marula Festival because of its tourism profile and proximity to other major tourist destinations, including world renowned Kruger National Park incorporated within the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park including Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, Ms Pinky Kekana said during the launch of the festival in Phalaborwa on Monday: “We were correct to have chosen Phalaborwa as permanent home of Marula Festival, given its well-developed infrastructure, a top class airport and golf course, a wide variety of tourist accommodation, tourism products and numerous game lodges

phalaborwa declared the home of Marula Festival in close proximity. The event is undoubtedly one contributor of the Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality’s economy, while it significantly also contributes to the economy of the province,” Kekana said.

We are optimistic that the town of Phalaborwa with its capacity of 1 349 beds will be fully booked due to this event and this is good news for the tourism and hospitality sector in the province.

Our wish is to see a proliferation of tourism products in the area thereby growing tourism in the district,” she added.

The MEC further referred to the benefit ordinary people derive from the festival and specifically mentioned that nine Mukumpi Cooperatives, with 90 active members, have been registered from the various district municipalities and are producing Marula by-products.

She also expressed the hope that the festival will continue to grow in its partnership with key stakeholders like Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality, Provincial Government and the private sector.

Phalaborwa has been hosting the festival since 2007 and has become one of the flagship events drawing droves of people to the province. photo: SuppliEd

leerders se basiese geletterdheid kommerwekkend

>> “Slegs ongeveer 12% van leerders in Polokwane lees op peil en vinnig genoeg” MaRiëttE SnydER >> mariette.observer@gmail.com

“Die afgelope paar jaar het die algemene stand van geletterdheid (lees- en skryfvaardighede) progressief onder kinders verswak omdat meer leerders basiese onderrig in hul tweede of selfs derde taal ontvang,” sê me Debbie Kampherbeek, eienaar van die plaaslike Stimulus Maksima-tak wat haar daarop toespits om leerders in verskeie grade se leesstandaard aan te spreek en te verbeter.

Polokwane Observer het Kampherbeek oor algemene leesprobleme en hul bevinding van leerders se vermoëns, gevra.

Sy sê min leerders kan teen die gewenste leesspoed van sy of haar ouderdom en graad lees en dat hulle min kennis van verskillende leesstrategieë toepaslik vir die werk wat hy of sy moet doen, het.

“Geletterdheid is ‘n sleutelvaardig-

kans moet gee en daar nie tyd is om die swakker leser ekstra tyd te gee nie,” sê sy.

Sy sê die oplossing is dat ouers hulself vergewis van hul kind se leesvermoë. “Moenie net aanvaar of dink dat jou kind goed lees nie. Slegs ongeveer 12% leerders in Polokwane lees op peil en vinnig genoeg,” sê sy. Sy vertel dat dit nie net laerskoolleerders is wat met leesprobleme sukkel nie, maar dat die eise aan hoërskoolleerders meer omvattend is omdat ‘n graad 12-leerder wat beplan om by ‘n tersiêre instelling aan te sluit, ten minste 200 woorde per minuut moet lees om gemaklik deur sy studies te kom.

Haar wenk aan ouers is om van vakspesialiste gebruik te maak.

“Remedieer betyds, die emosionele bagasie wat ‘n kind moet saamdra omdat hy of sy nie presteer nie, is onnodig,” sê sy.

“Begin vroeg en maak jou kind lief vir lees. Blaai ‘n boek of tydskrif saam deur of lees saam op die rekenaar - dit is ook ‘n leesvaardigheid. Om stories vir ‘n kleuter te lees is onontbeerlik vir geborgenheid, woordeskat-uitbreiding en taalvermoë. Lees saam uit die Bybel, of gee hul geleentheid om te lees.

Al gaan dit sukkel-sukkel, ons moet almal iewers begin,” is haar raad.

Foreign music and dialogue united on lim territory yolandE nEl >>observer.yolande@gmail.com Foreign sounds and more familiar local ones rose from the background. The Arabic oud, the Indian tablah, the African djembe, the American boomwhacker and the Hawaiian ukelele sat comfortably side by side awaiting play.

The stage was set for a union of 19 artists from Limpopo, Israel, Palestine, Denmark, Norway and Sweden who met in Polokwane for a nine-day programme of music and dialogue commencing last Thursday.

They were brought together by the Music on Troubled Grounds project, which is steered by Spiritus Mundi in Sweden. Spiritus Mundi Chief Executive Officer and Founder Henrik Melius explained that they were invited to Polokwane by Itumeleng Innovation Centre for Youth Development Executive Director Mothomoni Mapela, based in Seshego, when they met in 2011. With evident passion for the work they do across borders, Melius spoke of a programme uniting individuals through musical expression.

heid en leerders wat nie die gewenste vaardigheidsvlak het nie, vorder akademies stadig. Dit het weer ander probleme soos ‘n swak selfbeeld en die onvermoë om werkstukke, toetse, vraestelle en eksamen in die vereiste tyd af te lê en te voltooi, tot gevolg,” sê sy.

Sy sê die oorsaak van dié groeiende probleem is dat kinders nie meer lees nie en te veel tyd voor die televisie spandeer. “Kinders moet leesfiks bly. Ouers werk baie lang ure om te sorg dat die begroting klop en tydrowende tydverdrywe soos lees vir of saam met jou kinders, word nie meer beoefen nie. Kinders ervaar nie meer lees as ‘n aangename tydverdryf nie,” sê sy.

Sy voeg by dat daar baie aandag aan die ontwikkeling van graad 1 tot 3-leerders se leesvermoë gegee word en dan is die veronderstelling gewoonlik dat die kind kan lees. “Die voortsetting en verfyning van leesstrategieë bly in die slag, nie omdat die onderwyser nie haar werk doen nie, maar die sillabus verg ‘n klemverskuiwing.

Swak lesers word dikwels korter of minder geleentheid gegee om hardop te lees omdat dit moeilik gaan en dit vir die leerder ‘n verleentheid is of omdat die onderwyser elke leerder ‘n

Their projects take them to the far corners of the world, as is the case in Jordan where they have an office while another is due for opening in Egypt this year.

Melius, who was a songwriter and producer in America in the past, explained that the collective consciousness in Egypt was different to the situation in Jordan where there was no access to music and art. It made him happy to see lives enriched through musical expression that was being made available to beneficiaries, he said.

Some of the artists who joined them in Limpopo were new to the project while four of the visiting artists have been involved from the onset when the platform was created in 2009, he added. Over the years they have seen challenges, such as the Israeli and Palestinian artists to enter into dialogue with one another. “It is a chance for both parties to see the human behind the conflict. It is a small attempt to make the option for dialogue available. It is not about creating peace but give them the chance to see the human behind the conflict.” He conceded that the subjects were very sensitive and could only be achieved by a non-governmental organisation.

At the same time, Melius stressed, it

was important for the artists to get an understanding of the truth and reconciliation process in South Africa.

Music truly became the language in such a situation and could be used as common denominator, added Hansson. All the artists were curious individuals who seemed to be very open-minded and willing to learn, Hansson said. They would be documenting the South African process and posted video clips on Youtube to share the experience through social media tools.

It is the first time they got to work in South Africa and the kindness and hospitality have been overwhelming, Melius said and on a humoristic note exclaimed: “That is where our cold-hearted Swedes have a lot to learn.” Upon completion of the project the Spiritus Mundi team would stay on for evaluations and discussions, they indicated. They would want to see the project continue in Limpopo, but would first have to focus on the week’s results.

Their Limpopo stay would at least allow for limited travel to the Kruger National Park, Phalaborwa, Tzaneen and George’s Valley, they said.

The week’s activities will culminate in a performance and panel discussion to be held at Honeymoon Lodge today (Thursday) at 14:00. The show is open to the public and free of charge.

Spiritus Mundi translates into the spirit of the world and with them the team brought a first to Limpopo. It is a presence that ostensibly will linger long after they have departed.

aganang traffic officers’ case moved lESEtja MalopE >>malopelj@gmail.com Two Aganang municipal traffic officers arrested for allegedly taking bribes while on duty might have to wait a bit longer to have their day in court after their court appearance was moved

and no date set.

The pair, Messrs Ronny Molapo and Thabo Mothoa were supposed to appear in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court on Thursday but the case was moved to Matlala under whose jurisdiction they worked and were arrested.

Matlala Police Spokesperson, Const

Rachel Shokane said the accused’s lawyer forgot to inform them that the case had been moved and they therefore did not appear at any court.

“The case was also received late in Matlala but investigations are continuing even though a date of appearance has not been set yet,” Shokane said.

Where to now, bafana bafana?

Bafana Bafana’s hopes of progressing to the semi-finals of the Orange African Cup of Nations and eventually winning the tournament were dashed when Mali knocked them out of the competition in a 3-1 defeat on Saturday at Moses Mabhida Stadium. Polokwane Observer asked several persons for their opinion about what went wrong since Bafana Bafana’s triumph in 2006. We asked them to predict the winner from the semi-finalists, Mali, Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Ghana. >> Ms Pauline Makgato, Molemole Mayor: “They did their best in the tournament. They must go back to the drawing board and see were they went wrong. as for who will win the tournament, I think Nigeria will emerge victorious, they have got a strategy.” >> Ms Denise Claassen, Principal Pietersburg Comprehensive School: “They played well, they had a good tournament, but they should have practiced the penalties. as for who will win the tournament, it could go either way.”

>> Mr Soviet Lekganyane, aNC Provincial Secretary: “They did well. We would have loved to see them going through, but only one team could go to to the semi-finals.

Those things happen in football. We have a very good squad with good players, but we don’t have a team. The coach must get the combinations right. I think ghana will take it. They are consistent, they play as a unit and they have a pedigree for big tournaments.” >> Mr Dickson Masemola, MeC for education: “Whereas one is disappointed with the fact that Bafana Bafana could not proceed to the semi-finals, their performance, given the short period the new technical staff had with team, is encouraging. This trend of changing coaches regularly should not continue. There should be consistency. We should have a plan to integrate young players now as we prepare for World Cup qualifications and beyond. Let us continue to support the national team. I think ghana will win the tournament based on their performance during the 2010 Fifa World Cup.” >> Mr Tendani Thidiela, Communications Manager, Black Leopards: “Look, gordon Ingusund got the job late, but he managed to take the team to the quarterfinals of the tournament. For me they did well and his real effort now is to qualify for the 2014 Fifa World Cup. as for the team that will win the tournament, I am backing Burkina Faso. There is that something special about the team.” >> Tebogo Makgabo, Head Boy, Pietersburg Comprehensive School: “The defence let us down. even our strikers could not score clear cut chances. against Mali we scored a vital goal but we failed to defend that goal.

Nigeria will take this one, they have quality players who are plying their trade in big european leagues.” >> Melinda Moya, Head girl, Pietersburg Comprehensive School: “I think they did well under the circumstances. They were just let down by their defence and not converting their chances. as for the team that will win the tournament. I think ghana has it all.”

ie Toyota Cheetahs se voorbereiding vir die komende Super Rugby-kompetisie is goed op dreef en die afrigters is tevrede met die vordering van hul spelers.

Ondersteuners moet in gedagte hou dat die oefenwedstryde wat tans plaasvind voorbereidingswedstryde is om die kombinasies van spelers, spelpatrone en individuele spelers se vermoëns te toets.

Die Cheetahs Maatskappy besef dat die ondersteuners groot oorwinnings van die Toyota Cheetahs wil sien, maar die voorbereidingswedstryde dien juis as voorbereiding vir die groot kompetisies wat later volg.

Talle beseerde spelers het die

afgelope week hul terugkeer tot die oefenveld gemaak en na lang herstel- en voorbereidingsessies om terug te keer, is dit bemoedigend om te weet dat hul fiksheidsvlakke op standaard is. Daar gaan egter nie nou onnodige kanse met beseerde spelers of spelers wat pas teruggekeer het gewaag word nie.

Fiksheidskundiges is opgewonde oor die span se fiksheidspeil en verskeie toetse om onder meer krag en uithouvermoë te toets, word gedoen.

Afrigters en hulpafrigters is dit eens dat daar ‘n groot verbetering ten opsigte van spelers se fiksheidsvlakke in vergelyking met vorige jare is.

Johan Goosen sal waarskynlik eerste gereed wees om te speel, daarna Coenie Oosthuizen en Heinrich Brüssow gevolg deur Andries Ferreira wat na die toer van die Toyota Cheetahs in Maart gereed sal wees.

Die wedstryd verlede naweek teen die Stormers was ‘n groot uitdaging vir die Toyota Cheetahs en die spelers sal graag ‘n regmerk agter hul naam wil kry om in die finale groep van 30 spelers ingesluit te word.

Hy sê dat hulle elke jaar goed deur Polokwane-inwoners ontvang word en die stad die vriendelikste mense huisves.

Hy sê verder dat die span effens onder beserings gebuk gaan en van die spelers sal nie reg wees om Saterdag op te draf nie, omdat hulle eerder nog rus om reg te wees as die reeks begin.

Black Leopards are aiming to reach another final of the Nedbank Cup when they host second division outfit Cape Town All Stars in the last 32 round of the Nedbank Cup at Peter Mokaba Stadium on 27 February.

Despite being knocked out in the early stages of the tournament by Kaizer Chiefs last feat, Club Spokesperson Tendani Thidiela is adamant that they can repeat the 2011 heroics.

“That was a good year for us. I remember we were still in the NFD then, fighting for promotion and Nedbank Cup glory. We have never won any major cup competition before.

We managed to reach the final in 2011, that was how close we were to the trophy,” Thidiela said.

He also acknowledged that the preparations for the encounter are afoot. “We are 80% fit at the moment. Our technical team is working very hard to get the boys ready before the match. We still have two Absa Premiership fixtures before that Nedbank Cup fixture. We will be playing Bidvest Wits and Chippa United at the stadium, so we will be ready by the time,” Thidiela said.

it is Saterdag D-dag op die Peter Mokaba Stadion wanneer die Vodacom Blou Bulle en die Toyota Cheetahs mekaar om 17:00 in hul Super 15-reeks oefenwedstryd die stryd aansê. Volgens die Blou Bulle Rugby-unie Limpopo lyk die kaartjieverkope goed en hoop hulle om al die kaartjies te verkoop.

Die voorwedstryde begin reeds om 11:30 wanneer die bulletjies mekaar op die veld pak.

Een van Polokwane se toprugbyspanne, die BB Truck and Tractor Noordelike Rugbyklub (Noordelikes) gaan ook wys wat in hulle steek teen ‘n uitnodigingspan.

Tydens die hoof-voorwedstryd is Limpopo se Blou Bulle Vodacombeker-span in aksie teen die Blou Bulle en Polokwane kan gerus dié span ondersteun wat die provinsie in die Vodacombeker gaan verteenwoordig. Die hoofwedstryd begin om 17:00.

Kaartjies is steeds by die Blou Bulle-kantoor en by Computicket beskikbaar teen R100 (hoofpaviljoen), R80 (ooppaviljoen), R60 volwassenes en R40 onder 18’s (agter die pale).

Parkeerkaartjies kos R20 per voertuig en losies (22 persone) is teen R12 000 beskikbaar.

Die unie maan toeskouers dat geen alkohol in die stadion toegelaat word nie. Alkoholiese verversings is by die biertuin beskikbaar. Ander verversings sal ook te koop wees.

Rufus photo, naaswenner van gesogte wedloop se comradesdroom

bEn SnyMan >> bensnyman.observer@gmail.com

‘n Gesoute atleet van Pietersburg Road Runners, Rufus Photo (32) het onlangs tydens die Johnson Crane 42,2 km Marathon & Half Marathon in Benoni algeheel tweede uit ‘n totaal van 5 000 atlete in ‘n tyd van 2:26.39 geëindig.

Photo het met die uitstekende marathontyd bewys dat sy voorbereiding vir sy groot doelwit, Comrades 2013 goed op dreef is omdat hy verlede jaar in dié Johnson-wedloop vyfde gekom het.

Die gedetermineerde atleet hoop op ʼn moontlike toptienposisie vir die uitmergelende ultramarathon. Hy het verlede jaar tydens sy eerste Comrades negentiende gekom in die ouderdomsgroep van 30 tot 39 jaar in ‘n tyd van 5:47.55. Photo beplan om vanjaar as verdedigende kampioen aan die Potties 4-in-1 Marathon, Modern Autohaus Polokwane 42.2 km Marathon, Long Tom Ultra Marathon (56 km) en Forever Resorts Loskop (50 km), tot voor die Comrades deel te neem.

Volkswagen is Photo se amptelike borg.

THERE IS A MAXIDOR FOR EVERY PHYSICAL SECURITY NEED

’al wat in my kop is, is sport, sport en nogmaals sport’

>> Sukses lê in oefening, deursettingsvermoë en toegewyding >> Druk hom tot hy nie meer kan nie

Rc MybuRgh >>rc.observer@gmail.com

O

m fiks te wees beteken nie dat jy bultende spiere op elke moontlike plek op jou liggaam het nie; dit gaan meer oor hoeveel repetisies van verskillende oefeninge jy in ‘n bepaalde tyd kan doen.

En dit is wat die Crossfit-oefenprogram ‘n persoon wat behoorlik fiks wil word, lede bied.

Charl Liversage (24), ‘n Crossfit-lid het homself tydens die strawwe Crossfit Fittest in Cape Town-kompetisie in Kaapstad op 26 en 27 Januarie bewys toe hy ‘n algehele derde podiumplek behaal het.

“Dit is ‘n groot prestasie en eer. Ek en my afrigter, David van Ryneveld het vir ‘n plek onder die toptien gehoop, maar was albei verras oor die derde plek,” sê Liversage.

Volgens hom is Crossfit ‘n program vir mense wat in meeste sportsoorte goed presteer. Tydens oefening en kompetisies word jy volgens ‘n verskeidenheid fiksheidskomponente geëva-

lueer soos op jou hande loop, touklim, gewigte optel, swem en atletiek. “’n Mens raak liggaamlik en emosioneel uitgeput. Ek wou self op ‘n stadium tydens die kompetisie my goed vat en loop. As jy eers oor die gevoel van opgee kom, word jy verras om te besef waartoe ‘n mens se liggaam werklik in staat is. “Ek is die soort wat myself druk tot my liggaam nie meer kan nie en het al flou geword omdat ek nie einde aan oefening het nie,” sê hy.

Dit is nou byna ‘n jaar wat Liversage teen ander Crossfitlede wat jarelange lede is, kompeteer.

“Ek was sedert laerskooldae versot op rugby en het selfs vir die Limpopo Blou Bulle en BB Truck and Tractor Noordelike Rugbyklub (Noordelikes) uitgedraf, maar moes die sport prysgee as gevolg van ‘n handoperasie,” sê hy. Hy het ook goed in skoleatletiek presteer en verskeie keer aan die SuidAfrikaanse Kampioenskappe deelgeneem. Hy het veral goed in naellope en verspring presteer. As tiener het hy al ure in gimnasiums spandeer.

Oor sy liefde vir sport en oefening sê hy: “Vandat ek kan onthou het ek van oefen en sport gehou. Al wat in my kop is, is sport, sport en nogmaals sport,” sê hy. Sy volgende doel is om aan die Crossfit Ope-kampioenskappe en Crossfit Streekkampioenskappe (Fittest in Africa) deel te neem wat in Maart begin. Liversage sê dat Crossfit en liggaamsbou soos dag en nag verskil en dat steroïdegebruik taboe is. “Dit is

niks meer as egte liggaamlike en emosionele uithouvermoë nie. My sukses lê in my liefde vir oefening, deursettingsvermoë en toegewydheid,” sê hy.

Liversage kon aan niks anders as oefening dink as hy oor stokperdjies gevra word nie.

“Ek weet nie. Ek oefen net. Ek dink nie ek het stokperdjies nie,” skerts hy. As hy wel nie oefen nie, bring hy sy kant as mede-eienaar van ‘n paneelklopperfirma in die stad of spandeer tyd saam met sy vrou. Hy is ook lief vir kosmaak maar sê: “ Ek eet lekker en volg nie ‘n dieetplan nie. Dit hou gewoonlik net twee dae dan gee ek op.”

Sy raad aan jonges wat graag wil fiks word is: “Bly weg van verbode middels, eet reg en oefen hard. Jy moet gemotiveerd wees en met ‘n missie jou oefeninge aanpak.”

Hy sê Crossfit bied ideale motivering omdat hegte bande tydens klasse gesmee word en lede mekaar ondersteun. Hy het sy dank teenoor Van Ryneveld uitgespreek wat hom help om goed vir die kompetisies voor te berei.
