14 JANUARY 2011 The corrugated iron shack is not a tool shed or a house, but the classroom of the Grade R class of 2011 at Maepa Primary School near Ohrigstad. This year, the school has 12 learners in this class starting their school careers. The principal, Mr Steven Mkhabela ,says the school has requested better facilities and more classrooms “even mobile classrooms will be ok, but up until now, nothing is forthcoming. The rest of the school building is quite new and comprises four classrooms, with grades sharing the classrooms, except Grade 7, who have their own classroom. The corrugated iron structure was nicely furnished, and everything was ready for school and education by the Grade R teacher, Mrs Catherine Malepane. Unfortunately their wretre also no desks or space for desks in the hot little building. Luckily a cool breeze brought some relief through the large windows on the one side of the shack. Meanwhile the District Mayor and MEC for Education in Limpopo visited several schools in the area on Wednesday, functioning and non-functioning to see what is happening on ground level. They did not visit Maepa Primary School.
The little ones were quite content in their corrugated (iron) classroom (left). With then is the principal, Mr Steven Mkhabela and their educator, Mrs Catherine Malapane. The rest of the school comprises a brick building (bottom).

Catering for the children with a school It is the time of the year when many parents wish for another school in the Burgersfort area. Many children go to boarding school or have to get on a bus in the early hours of the morning to travel to school. It costs a lot in time and money. This could
however be something of the past. The well-known school group Curro are investing in Burgersfort with the construction of a modern new, affordable private model school, within Spekboom River Estate. Construction of the pre-primary, primary & secondary
school will commence in February 2011 with the first intake planned for January 2012. While the two estates are central to Cranbrook’s presence in the area, the Development Company is in Burgersfort for the long-term. The total development
encompasses a few thousand residential erven, business and light industrial development, a 43 000m² shopping mall, a hospital site, as well as the site for the new school. The school will not be limited to residents only. Enquiries: 084 403 2480.

The NYDA in Limpopo say they have been confident from the start that the matrics were going to do the province proud. The agency called upon those that did not perform well to go back to class and work very hard, saying that it is important to remember that its is better to try than to givep. Parents, teachers and learners are encouraged to go back to class and work very hard in ensuring that even better results are produced this year, saying “when the former Limpopo Youth Commission launched ‘ MATRIC FRIDAY’ we had made commitments to the fact that we will be rolling out the back to school campaign, a further engagement with FET and Higher education institutions in ensuring that we

We are thankful to everybody who heard our call and stood side by side with us and learners in supporting them ( 2010 matric class) during their final examination period.
Class of 2010 fares well locally Local schools in Burgersfort did not fare too bad in last year’s matric examinations, with some school turning out excellent results. One of these schools are St Thomas College in Burgersfort with a 100 percent pass rate, while Calvin College also fared very well with an overall pass rate of close to a 100 percent. A large number of individual learners has got distinctions and in the case of Calvin College most distinctions was had in Life Orientation, followed by Sepedi (Home Language), Mathematical Literacy, Accounting, Afrikaans (First Additional Language), Mathematics, Economics and Life Sciences. Joshua Generation had two matrics in 2010, both passing their examinations. Werner Smulders will start his studies for a B.Comm degree and Johan Koen will pursue studies in Theology. The District Mayor, Cllr David Mogobo Magabe, embarked on the government’s back-to-school campaign earlier this week, visiting schools in Sekhukhune District, including the Greater Tubatse Municipality. The Mayor was accompanied on his visit by senior officials of the Department of Education and members of the Mayoral Committee. The primary aim of the visits to the schools was to allow the government the opportunity to assess the readiness of schools to begin with the process of learning and teaching from the first day. Cllr Magabe also used the opportunity to encourage learners and teachers to work hard.

Meaty treats from your Biltong Buddy If it is biltong you are looking for, you now have a Buddy in the business. Biltong Buddy opened its doors on Monday this week and specializes in the provision of a wide range of biltong, dry wors, cabanossi, biltong chips, chilli bites , ‘elephant ears’ and much more. The shop is situated next to OK Grocer and conveniently has a Nedbank ATM inside. They not only provide delicious meaty snacks, but also have dried fruit, gifts, ice cream, cold drinks and chips. One of the specialities is the special spice that clients can add to their sliced biltong. Try the cheese spice for something totally and deliciously different or BBQ for a sweet, smoky sensation. The traditional biltong remains a best seller and a must for weekend snacking, especially during the rugby season. Hampers that can serve as gifts are available and are made according to the client’s specifications and budget. These must be ordered one day in advance. Ready-made hampers are also available.

Education is important to ECM and the cases will hopefully serve as a reminder to the pupils to work hard during the year. The mine cares about the community and their children and therefore supports the efforts by local schools to provide quality education. The children were very excited to receive such a handy gift at the beginning of the school year. The pencil case is ECM branded. It also contained various stationery items that will help the children kick-start the year.

So raak die heruitreiking van bevoegdheidsertifikate vir ‘n wapen jou Op 14 Desember 2010 het Minister van Polisie, Nathi Mthethwa aangekondig dat die President ‘n proklamasie geteken het wat handel met die heruitreiking van bevoegdheids sertifikate asook die aansoek vir bevoegdheid sertifikate vir swartkruit gewere. Hierdie proklamasie het in werking getree op 10 Januarie 2011. Die SAPS se bevoedgheidsertifikate (‘n lisensie om sekere tipes vuurwapens te mag handteer) is slegs geldig vir 5 jaar alhoewel sekere vuurwapenlisensies vir selfs 10 jaar geldig is. Wanneer ‘n persoon aansoek gedoen het vir hul bevoedgheidsertifikate, sal die ou sertifikaat stteds geldig wees totdat die persoon sy nuwe sertifikaat ontvang het of sy nuwe aansoek van die hand gewys is. Die nuwe maatreëls gee ook weereens vir persone die geleentheid om aansoek te doen vir bevoegdheid en herlisensieering wat dit nog nie gedoen het nie. Volgens die SAPS sal die nuwe aansoek proses vir heruitreiking van bevoegdheids sertifikate baie vereenvoudig wees met een vorm, ‘n afskrif van jou ID en ‘n
beëdigde verklaring wat bevestig dat jy in die laaste 5 jaar nie skuldig bevind is aan ‘n geweldsmisdaad, ens. nie. Vingerafdrukke sal ongelukkig weer geneem moet word maar blykbaar sal dit die laaste wees, die proses om vingerafdrukke nou permanent te stoor is klaar in die pyplyn. Dit is nog nie duidelik wat die bepalings ten aansien van Swartkruitwapens alles sal insluit nie, want as persone moet aansoek doen om ‘n bevoegdheidsertifikaat beteken dit dat hul by implikasie ‘n eenheidstandaard sal moet doen. Verdermeer het die SAPS in hul persverklaring nie verduidelik of dit sal beteken dat Swartkruitwapens gelisensieer sal moet word nie. Vir meer inligting hou die pers dop. Hierdie en ander aspekte sal ook tydens die SA Jagters se Bosbok tak van SA Jagters se algemene vergadering op 19 Januarie 2011 bespreek word. Vir meer navrae kontak hul aftreende Voorsitter JB Willers (082 820 1748) of ander bestuurslede. Sien ook www.bosbok.co.za vir hierdie en ander SA Jagters en SAPS persverklarings.

Ms. Lebo Monesa said: “I wish for better roads. Everywhere you go there is potholes. I often use the Stoffberg road and it is terrible. If you are a woman driver and you get a puncture it is very stressing”.
