Pa kwaad oor man wat foto’s van kinders neem Dustin Wetdewich ’n Man is Sondag by die Potchefstroom dam deur ’n groep ouers voorgekeer nadat hy foto’s van hulle kinders by die swembad geneem het. Theo de Koker, een van die ouers, het opgemerk hoe ’n man om die swembad

beweeg en foto’s van onder meer sy seun neem. “Daar was seker vier families wie se kinders afgeneem is,” vertel De Koker. ’n Ontstelde De Koker het die man genader om te vra waarom hy die kinders afneem, waarna die man net om verskoning gevra het.

Three dead: Tragedy strikes Ikageng and Promosa Selogile Leshage In less than 48 hours, Ikageng and Promosa were hit by a series of tragic incidents and the police station recorded two murders, an inquest and an attempted murder. Const. Kelebogile Trom, Ikageng SAPS spokesperson says the police are investigating a case of murder after a 66-year-old woman was found dead in Ext. 7 at about 19:55 on Monday. ‘While the police were patrolling, they received a call about a murder in Ext 7. They rushed to the scene and, on their arrival, found members of the family and neighbours sitting outside the house. They went inside and found the husband of the woman sitting next to the body. The deceased was covered with two towels. She had bruises on her legs and body. The body was taken to the Potchefstroom mortuary,’ she said. Trom says a 60-year-old man was arrested in connection with the murder at 15:45 on Tuesday. In another case, a 20-year-old man died at Boiki Tlhapi clinic in the early hours of Monday morning. The young man was admitted to the clinic after being stabbed with a knife. According to information given to the police at around 03:00, he was alle-

gedly stabbed by someone he knew. The nurses attended to him and the emergency services later declared him dead. The police arrested a 36year-old man at 03:25 on Monday. The police are investigating an inquest case after a 33-year-old woman died in Promosa at about 02:15 on Sunday. According to witnesses, she was bleeding profusely and sustained injuries on her right hand. ‘The police were called to the scene after another woman complained that someone was breaking the windows of her family home. On their way to the caller’s place, they found the deceased and her relatives sitting on the ground with blood all over the place. The body was then taken to the mortuary. Trom says the Ikageng police apprehended five suspects at about 15:45 on Monday. She says they have been accused of attacking and stabbing a 24-year-old man and an attempted murder case is being investigated. The victim alleges that he went to buy a cigarette at about 21:00 on Sunday. When he entered the shop, two men that he knows started stabbing him. Another three men joined in and stabbed him in the head. The victim does not remember what happened thereafter. He sustained injuries to his head and face,

“Hy kon of wou nie vir ons verduidelik waarom hy die foto’s neem nie,” vertel hy. Carine Labushagne, wie se kind ook afgeneem is, het gesê die verdagte man se vriende het bygekom om te verduidelik dat hy nog nuut in die land is en nie geweet het dat dit verkeerd is om kinders af te neem nie. “Ek het hom gevra of hy ’n paspoort het, waarop hy net nee gesê het,” vertel de Koker. Hy het die polisie ontbied omdat die man se optrede en reaksie baie verdag was. “Toe ek die polisie bel, het die beampte vir my gesê dat hulle ’n bakkie gaan stuur. Ek het Mooirivier Beskerming ook gebel omdat hulle ’n goeie reputasie in die dorp het,” vertel hy. Mooirivier Beskerming het ook probeer om die polisie te ontbied, maar is deur ’n beampte laat weet dat daar nie ’n misdaad gepleeg is nie, daarom gaan die polisie nie ingryp nie. Volgens Gary Boruchowitz, ’n prokureur van Johannesburg wat spesialiseer in vermaaklikheidsreg, is mense geregtig om foto’s van mense in openbare areas, insluitend minderjariges, te neem. “Die enigste geval waar fotograwe toestemming van die ouers moet kry, is wanneer die foto’s vir kommersiële gewin gebruik gaan word, wat inskrywings by kompetisies insluit,” het hy verduidelik. Hans Jurie Moolman, ’n prokureur van Moolman en Pienaar, is van mening dat, omdat daar ’n vermoede was by die klaer dat die man nie goeie bedoelings met die neem van die foto’s gehad het nie, die polisie ’n plig gehad het om ondersoek in te stel. Volgens ’n verteenwoordiger van STOP (Stop Trafficking of People) in Potchefstroom is dit moontlik dat die man by mensehandel betrokke kan wees, maar sonder bewyse kan dit nie met sekerheid gesê word nie. “Tog moet daar ’n rede wees dat hy die kinders se foto’s neem en kan dit tot ’n ondersoek lei,” het die verteenwoordiger gesê. “Wat moet ons nou doen? Die polisie sê ons moet hulle laat weet oor verdagte mense en gebeure maar dan reageer

hulle nie wanneer ons vir hulp vra nie. Dit is onaanvaarbaar en pateties. Tot wie moet die gemeenskap hul dan wend?” het De Koker gevra. Volgens ao. Mpho Manyoba, polisiewoordvoerder, is ’n voertuig ontbied, maar na konsultasie is besluit dat daar geen misdaad gepleeg is nie en daarom is die voertuig nie gestuur nie. “Die beampte was onder die indruk dat die situasie tussen die klaer en die man vriendskaplik opgelos is, omdat die verdagte verduidelik het dat hy nie geweet het dat dit verkeerd is nie en om verskoning gevra het. Ons streef daarna om alle mense in die gemeenskap te help en veilig te laat voel,” het Manyoba gesê.

Setting the record straight Last week, the Herald incorrectly quoted an alderman, Mr Chris Landsberg as saying: ‘...about 200 government-owned and other farms have not paid for electricity for about six to seven years’. In fact, the correct quote is: ‘...about 200 government-owned and some other farm owners have not paid property tax that was instituted about six or seven years ago and was phased in over a period of five years. The council should investigate and recover lost money.’

Dit is ironies is dat die eikeboom oor kant die Akkerrestaurant op die Bult ook besig is om dood te gaan.

Eikelaan sterf Marianke Saayman Potchefstroom se historiese Eikelaan is besig om ‘n stadige dood te sterf. Verskeie inwoners het die afgelope tyd dit onder die Herald se aandag gebring dat verskeie van die bome in die laning, ’n nasionale monument, besig is om dood te gaan. Die laning, wat by Potchefstroom dam begin en by die landboukollege eindig, is 6,84 km lank en is die langste eikelaning in die suidelike halfrond. Die eerste eikebome wat deel van die laan vorm is reeds in 1863 geplant. Kommer oor die toestand van die bome het reeds in 1972 begin toe leiwater gestaak en die leiwatervore, wat onder meer langs die bome verbygeloop het, in onbruik verval het. Die gevolg was dat die bome daarna byna net van reënwater afhanklik was. Weens ontwikkeling op veral die Bult het teeroppervlaktes en plaveisel ook veroorsaak dat reënwater vinnig weggelei word na stormwaterstelsels en reënwater skaars om die bome die grond kon binnedring. Volgens prof. Sarel Cilliers, plantekoloog aan die NWU se Potchefstroomkampus, is die bome dus onder geweldige waterstres en boonop rig dopluise en loopluise ook baie skade aan. Hy meen om die Eikelaan te red moet

daar eers in diepte navorsing gedoen word. Dít verg fondse wat nie op die oomblik beskikbaar is nie. ‘n Gesa-

Power shutdown at Epsilon substation There will be a power shutdown at the Epsilon substation from 08:00 till 17:00 on Sunday, 29 January. Council spokesperson, Willie Maphosa, says the areas that will be affected are Wilgeboom, Elandsheuwel, Mieder Park, Suiddorp up to Kruis Street, Suiddorp up to Wolmarans Street, the new extensions in Grimbeeck Park and the new extensions in Baillie Park (Wynne and Rooibok

mentlike poging van die publiek gaan nodig wees. Volgens Willie Maphosa, woordvoerder van die stadsraad, is die munisipaliteit net so bekommerd oor die bome omdat dit ‘n groot rol speel in die stad se toerisme en ekonomie. Maphosa sê dat van die bome baie oud is en vervang moet word met jonger bome, maar dit is moeilik om die bome plaaslik te verkry. “Die munisipa-

They will also repair a loose connection on the 66 000 volt equipment at Alpha and Epsilon substations. ‘While we regret the inconvenience that residents may suffer, the maintenance is vital in order to keep the power supply flowing in the long term,’ he said.

liteit is besig om aandag hieraan te gee. Die voorlegging van planne vereis dat die Parke-afdeling eers die bome moet inspekteer en monitor,” sê hy. Maphosa sê die munisipaliteit werk ook daaraan om die Eikelaan Forum (‘n groep vrywilligers van die NWU en die gemeenskap met ‘n liefde vir bome) weer aan die gang te sit omdat hulle ‘n groot rol speel in die bewaring van hierdie bome. “Die munisipaliteit sal dit nie op hul eie kan aanpak nie,” sê hy. Erfenis Potchefstroom hou Maandag 30 Januarie ’n vergadering met die oog op ‘n bewusmakingsprojek om die eikelaan te probeer red. Hoewel dit moontlik reeds te laat is vir van die bome, kan iets hopelik gedoen word om die Eikelaan vir die nageslag te behou. Lees meer oor die geskiedenis van die Eikelaan op bl. 13.

Mayoral column Unite for a better city After the local government elections last year, both Ventersdorp and Tlokwe municipalities were merged. We are currently temporarily known as Ventersdorp/ Tlokwe NW 405. During a special council meeting on Tuesday, council approved a public participation process for our people to choose the name of their choice for their new municipality. This process will start from 31 January and we are calling on all of our communities, students, business people, non-government organisations, farmers and all stakeholders to participate and have

a say in the new name change. It is against this backdrop that I encourage our residents to come out in their numbers and attend all the municipal meetings and not be left out when we change the name. Again, as a new term of council and after every local government election, we embark on a process of calling our communities to participate in the IDP (integrated development plan). This is a five-year plan in which we are required to call on our people to take part in the city’s development and cater to our communities’ needs. The IDP is a very important tool for our people and the municipality does

this to plan for future development in our areas. The IDP is also linked to our budget. This is the chance and opportunity for our people to identify areas where there is a lack of services and that are underdeveloped. Come and have a say and your needs will be catered for in the IDP. We are doing this to accelerate service delivery to our residents. All our wards will be called to participate and I, as the executive mayor, urge you to attend these meetings because, if you miss them, we won’t know your needs. Let us all unite for the betterment of our beautiful city.

Devastation of Amalgamation Z What Potch gained HansJurie Moolman In June 2016, the Tlokwe and Ventersdorp municipalities enjoyed the last few days of their existence and had to make way for the ‘ultimate solution’ to the destroyed municipality of Ventersdorp that has been in existence for more than one hundred years. This ‘ultimate solution’ was to geographically amalgamate Tlokwe with Ventersdorp and hope that, by some magic, new boundaries and new wards would lessen the devastation caused to the community of Ventersdorp over years and years of corruption and maladministration. The opponents of this ‘ultimate solution’ were chastised and ridiculed for not caring about the people of Ventersdorp and for trying to maintain the status quo for selfish reasons. At the same time, the calls for transparency and the engagement of the public on the main motivations for the amalgamation fell on deaf ears. Instead, the little engagement there was insofar as the public consideration is concerned, was blatantly discarded

That is, of course, unless the reserves of the former Tlokwe municipality are used as a bailout. There is, therefore, no advantage in the amalgamation for Potchefstroom, but the sharing of the revenue already collected from the community of Potchefstroom. 6) The community of Potchefstroom, in the absence of any other stream of income or intervention from National Treasury, on the other hand, will effectively pick up the bill for the historic and unaccounted for corruption and maladministration of Ventersdorp over many years. This community of Potchefstroom and Ventersdorp is proudly brought to you by the African National Congress, and their own agenda is the reason why your views never mattered.

Selogile Leshage Potchefstroom, also known as the City of Expertise, is set to lose the provincial SAPS headquarters to the capital city, Mahikeng after confirmation from the NW premier, Supra Mahumapelo. In a recent interview with the SABC at the handing over of command to LtGenl Baile Motswenyane, Mahumapelo was quoted as saying, ‘We have made the decision as a province. The national minister has agreed, in principle. I have spoken to the provincial commissioner, the MEC and the national acting commissioner. All of us have agreed that it must be done but it must be done in phases. As soon as we have worked out a timetable, we will know when the top management of the SAPS will start the migration to Mahikeng. There is no way that it will not happen; it’s just a matter of time.’ (The video is also available in the Office of the Premier’s Facebook page.) The Herald contacted the national

SAPS office to shed more light on the relocation. We wanted to know the main reasons for moving such a big department to Mahikeng; how it would enhance policing in the province; the costs involved; whether there is already a building in place to accommodate the personnel and what will happen to the current provincial SAPS building in Potchefstroom. The acting head of corporate communication and liaison in the South African Police Service, Brig. Sally de Beer says the movement of the North West SAPS Provincial office to Mahikeng or Mmabatho has been under consideration over the past few years. ‘We are considering available infrastructure at this time and can, therefore, not give time frames or more definite information. ‘However, any relocation will be preceded by engagements in terms of the law, for example, the Labour Relations Act, to consider personal circumstances and living arrangements of affected personnel,’ she said.

Beslag gelê op miljoene se dwelms twee mans vas Dustin Wetdewich

Man deur ‘bankamptenaar’ by OTM besteel Dustin Wetdewich ’n Man is Sondagoggend omstreeks 09:00 van sy bankkaart en R4 000 beroof toe hy by ’n OTM in Steve Bikostraat wou geld trek. Volgens ao. Mpho Manyoba, polisiewoordvoerder, het die verdagte die man genader onder die voorwendsel dat hy hom by die OTM kan help. “Hy het ’n hemp aangehad met die embleem van die betrokke bank op,” het Manyoba gesê. Die man het dus gedink dat die verdagte vir die betrokke bank werk en dit veilig geag om sy kaart aan hom te oorhandig. Die verdagte het dit in die OTM-

masjien gedruk. Die man het sy geheime kode (pinkode) ingesleutel, maar niks het gebeur nie. Die verdagte het verdwyn sonder om die man se kaart aan hom terug te besorg. Hy het na die verdagte begin soek, maar kon hom nêrens kry nie. Hy het in die bank navraag gedoen, waar daar aan hom gesê is dat niemand buite aangestel is om die publiek te help nie. Die man het gevra dat die bank dadelik sy kaart stop. “In die tydperk wat hy gewag het dat sy kaart gestop word, is R4 000 reeds uit sy rekening onttrek,” verduidelik Manyoba. ’n Saak van diefstal word ondersoek.

Die polisie het twee Nigeriese mans in hegtenis geneem nadat meer as R3 miljoen se dwelms in hulle besit gevind is. Volgens ao. Mpho Manyoba, polisiewoordvoerder, het die polisie Sondagaand omstreeks 19:00 ’n voertuig langs die N12 sien staan. “Hulle het die voertuig genader om te kyk of hulle kan help,” vertel Manyoba. Toe die polisiebeamptes naby die voertuig kom, het hulle gesien een van die mans plaas ’n plastiese sak binne in ’n ander sak in die kattebak. Met ondervraging het die man gesê dit is sy medikasie. “Die voertuig is deursoek, waarna ongeveer 10kg kokaïne in die kattebak gevind is”, sê Manyoba. Die mans is op ‘n aanklag van die besit van onwettige dwelms in hegtenis geneem. Volgens Manyoba word die waarde van die dwelms op sowat R3.5

miljoen beraam. Die verdagtes het teen druktyd nog nie in die hof verskyn nie. Volgens Manyoba word verdere klagtes teen die verdagtes oorweeg. In ‘n ander onverwante voorval is ’n jong vrou (23) Saterdagmiddag omstreeks 15:00 in Walter Sisulustraat op ‘n klag van die besit van onwettige dwelms in hegtenis geneem. Volgens Manyoba is dagga in die vrou se besit gevind. “Die beamptes het vermoed die groep is verdag nadat hulle vinniger begin loop het toe hulle die polisie sien,” vertel Manyoba. Twee vroue en een man is voorgekeer en deursoek, waarna hulle die dagga binne ’n bierbottel gevind het. Die vrou het Maandag in die hof verskyn, waarna sy op eie verantwoordelikheid vrygelaat is. Sy moet weer 23 Februarie in die hof verskyn.

‘I hope reason prevails in future’ Izak Smalman writes:

Red ons mooi eikebome Potchefstroom was nog altyd baie trots op sy geskiedenis. Deel hiervan is sy historie se geboue en sy besondere eikelaning met bome wat dateer uit 1863. Soos blyk in ons berig oor die Eikelaan is die bome primêr onder druk as gevolg van te min water sedert die afskaffing van leiwater. ’n Groot eikeboom het baie water nodig. Hulle kan tot byna 190 liter water per dag gebruik. Die meeste spesies kan meer as 200 jaar oud word en ’n eikeboom wat tydens die bewind van King John in Engeland ge plant is, het 800 jaar oud geword. Dit is die nasionale boom van Amerika, Engeland, Frankryk, Duitsland, Latvia, Po land en Serbia. Potchefstroom is soos Stellenbosch be kend vir sy eikebome en onlosmaaklik deel van die stad soos die res van sy kultuur histories erfenis. Dit is boonop ’n toeriste aantreklikheid wat nie onderskat moet word nie. Verskeie plekke se name is ge koppel aan die eikebome, soos onder meer die Akker koffiehuis op die Bult. Iro nies dat dit juis skuins oorkant dié koffie huis is waar een van die bome besig is om te vrek. Ons kan nie toelaat dat die Eikelaning ’n stadige dood te sterf nie. Dit is goeie nuus dat Erfenis Potchefstroom ’n projek beplan om die bome te red. Hoewel die stadsraad in die verlede dooie bome met jonges ver vang het, sal meer as dit gedoen moet word om die bome te versorg. Die ge meenskap, veral dié wat in of naby die Ei kelaning woon, sal betrokke moet raak om dié bome hul eie te maak. Die Universiteit sal ook hulp benodig om behoorlik navorsing oor die bome en die toestand waarin hulle is, te doen. Hier mee behoort die stadsraad te help.

I appreciate the willingness of the mayor, Mr Kgotso Khumalo, to address the burning issue of the year-end festivals at the Trimpark in December. Unfortunately, Mr Big Daddy 24/7 regards the accurate journalism by the Herald on this matter as racism. The truth is that members of a civilised society cannot tolerate the behaviour that marked the festival of 16 December last year. In fact, misconduct is not restricted to persons of a certain race, creed or colour. The statement by Mr Big Daddy is meant to shift the focus from the concerns of Potchefstroom residents. By doing so, he also derails any cooperation between the various role players to reach an amica-

ble agreement. Mr Big Daddy also made it clear that these events will take place in years to come. Is he the sole decision maker, does he act on behalf of the mayor or does he overrule the mayor? If this is true, why bother with the operational- and other plans he spoke about? Who are ‘all the stakeholders’ he mentioned? Were residents, or even the neighbourhood watch Z on behalf of the residents Z included? Mr Big Daddy also says the festival is not a real problem as it happens only once a year. Wrong. Since the beginning of December, festivals at the park took place on a regular basis, although not all of them throughout the night. Is it unreasonable, therefore, to request the organisers to stick to a cut-off time of 01:00 in the morning, bea-

ring in mind the event had already started at 08:00 the previous day? Enough has been said of the transgression of various laws by the persons attending the event and I shall, therefore, not repeat it. Mr Big Daddy has clearly also taken notice of those reports but a state of denial won’t undo them. All people have the right to enjoy themselves, but not without considering law-abiding, fellow citizens. Also, bear in mind that other people are entitled to use the same facilities in and around the Trimpark after the event has come to an end. This was certainly not possible because of the filthiness of the park and its surroundings after the festival(s). I sincerely hope reason prevails in future.

Hoe voel NG-gemeentes oor gay-besluit? Johannes Froneman skryf: Ek sou graag wou weet hoe die NGgemeentes van Potchefstroom voel oor die besluit van die afgelope algemene sinode rakende gays. Ek is seker almal sal bevestig dat alle mense (insluitende gays) welkom is om eredienste by te woon, maar ek sal graag wil weet of daar ‘n gemeente is wat onvoorwaardelik mense van alle seksuele oriëntasies aanvaar. Wat dus ook gay paartjies verwelkom. Kortom, is daar ‘n NG-gemeente in Potchefstroom wat haarself volledig oop verklaar het? Volgens die NG-gemeente Kaapstad wil dié gemeente die verbintenis van liefde tussen twee persone van dieselfde geslag, wat deur God geseën word, ook liturgies seën en vier “deur ons leraars en gebruik van ons kerkgebou”. Verder nooi hul mense wat deur God geroep en toegerus is en binne

’n liefdevolle verbintenis met ’n persoon van dieselfde geslag leef, om hierdie roeping van liefde en diens “in ons midde te kom leef, hetsy as leraar, ouderling, diaken of in enige ander amp of rol”. Die Moedergemeente Stellenbosch het bygevoeg: “Ons is bewus daarvan dat ons as gelowiges verskillende oortuigings en emosies ten opsigte van hierdie besluite kan hê, en dat dit nie beteken dat sommige van ons nie die Here dien of uit sy liefde leef nie.” Hulle sê dit is so dat lidmate baie vrae kan hê oor hoe die Bybel dan gelees moet word indien gelowiges uit hul bestudering van dieselfde Bybel tot verskillende gevolgtrekkings kan kom. “Ons onderneem in hierdie verband om te verseker dat daar in ons gemeente veilige ruimtes sal wees waar ons mekaar sal vashou en met geduld en leerbaarheid na mekaar sal luister.”

Die NG-gemeente Stellenbosch Welgelegen het opgemerk dat hy aanvaar dat die seksuele oriëntasie van mense ’n gawe van God is en reken dat dit – hetsy homoseksueel of heteroseksueel – aan dieselfde etiese norme van “liefde en trou” onderwerp moet word. Ook dat dit die kerk se taak is om mense te help om hul Godgegewe seksualiteit binne die kontoere van liefde en trou uit te leef. Daarom ondersteun die kerkraad “die algemene sinode se besluit van 2015 wat die gelykwaardigheid en menswaardigheid van mense met verskillende seksuele oriëntasies volledig erken en verwelkom”, maar distansieer hom van die 2016-besluit se ongelyke hantering daarvan. Ook die NG-gemeente Pinelands sê: “Hulle (gays) is mense wat ons leer dat liefde ook anders kan lyk. My vraag is nogmaals: Stem enige NG-gemeentes in Potchefstroom hiermee saam of nie? (Brief verkort. Red)

Hoe lank moet die Here ’n mens waarsku voor jy luister? Ds. Koos Mouton Lees Daniël 4: Hoe lank moet die Here ’n mens waarsku en waarsku voor jy luister? Ons hoor God se Woord, en tog gaan ons op die sondige pad voort. Twee keer het Nebukadnesar met die Allerhoogste God te doen gekry. In Daniël 2 het Daniël Nebukadnesar se droom vertel en uitgelê. In Daniël 3 sien hy die wonder van die redding van die drie vriende van Daniël uit ’n vuuroond. Hy sê dat die God van Israel die grootste is van al die gode, (2: 47). Geen ander god is in staat om te red soos die Here nie. (3: 29), maar Nebukadnesar se grootheidswaan ken geen perke. 1. Jy is die man: Weer droom Nebukadnesar ’n

slegte droom. Nebukadnesar is die groot boom. ’n Stuk selfhandhawing. Nebukadnesar sal van sy koningskap ontneem word en ’n diere-hart kry. “Jy is die man, o koning.”(Soos Natan aan Dawid gesê het na sy sonde van owerspel en moord). Breek met jou sonde. Nebukadnesar sal deur God gestraf word. 2. Die dier-mens: Terwyl Nebukadnesar sy eie lofliedere sing, word hy deur God se oordeel in die rede geval. Jy sal saam met die diere moet leef. Hoogmoed word met kranksinnigheid gestraf. Vroeër moes die wêreld op hulle hande en voete voor Nebukadnesar kruip. Nou kruip hy op hande en voete voor die wêreld. Die moderne mens: hoe beesagtig het hy nie geword? Moeilik om

te weet of die moderne mens as dier of as hoogs begaafde leef. Ten opsigte van vandag se wetenskap en tegnologie vra jy: mag alles wat kan? Alles eindig vir hierdie wêreld by die wederkoms van Christus. Tog bly ons nie stilstaan by die bees-mens nie. Die verhaal van Nebukadnesar is ’n oproep om na Christus, die Verlosser, te vra. En Christus het gekom, nie net dat ons hemel toe kan gaan nie, maar om die werk van die Bose op aarde te verbreek. In Christus: koningskinders. Buite Christus, die dier-mens. Die dood. 3. Vrede wat alle verstand te bowe gaan: Nebukadnesar sê in 4:1: “Mag julle vrede groot wees.” Maar hy dink net

aan aardse vrede, wat deur geweld in stand gehou word. Vandag se vrede word deur magsewewig in stand gehou. Nebukadnesar word van sy kranksinnigheid genees. Maar blaas hy nie steeds sy eie basuin? Hy praat steeds van Beltsasar (Daniël) “ na die naam van my god.” (4: 8) Is hier regtig ware bekering? Vrede? God se wêreldplan moet uitgevoer word. Nebukadnesar en sy opvolgers moet nog regeer sodat Kores die Jode kan laat teruggaan na Jerusalem. (Esra 1:1, 2) dat die Christus uit die geslag van Juda in Bethlehem gebore kon word. Dat die engelekoor kan sing: ”Vrede op aarde.” (Lk. 2: 14). Dit is die enigste vrede, die vrede wat van God kom.

PAWS bekommerd oor vuurwerke by JOOL Dustin Wetdewich PAWS het in ’n skrywe aan die Studenteraad (SR) van die Puk hul kommer oor die vuurwerkvertoning wat tydens JOOL beplan word, uitgespreek. Volgens Andries Venter, bestuurder van PAWS, is hulle bekommerd dat die vuurwerke ‘n baie negatiewe uitwerking op diere in die omgewing gaan hê, soos wat Oujaarsaand gesien is. Meer as 50 diere moes dié aand deur PAWS ingeneem word. Een so ‘n dier waaroor die Herald berig het, het vermoedelik drie dae in ’n drein vasgesit. Venter het onder meer in die skrywe na ’n uitspraak van die hooggeregshof verwys waar die DBV daarin geslaag het om vuurwerke wat deur die Ekurhuleni Munisipaliteit gehou sou word, te stop. Volgens Venter skep so ‘n uitspraak ’n presedent wat as genoegsame gronde beskou kan word om die vuurwerke te heroorweeg. Venter wou by die SR weet of hulle genoegsame reëlings met inwoners van die woongebied getref het om die skok op diere te verminder, of daar begroot is vir die behandeling van beseerde diere, of selfs siviele eise wat deur mense ingestel kan word wat deur verskrikte diere gebyt word, of motorongelukke wat kan plaasvind deur verskrikte diere wat in die pad hardloop. “Ons vra dus dat die SR en JOOL-komitee die aangeleentheid sterk heroorweeg,” lui die skrywe van Venter. Volgens Paul Maritz, SR-voorsitter, voldoen JOOL aan al die vereistes wat deur die polisie aan hulle gestel is. Hulle het ook berigte in die plaaslike media geplaas wat inwoners voorberei om hulle planne so te maak dat enige negatiewe uitwerking op hul diere vermy kan word.

Hy sê wat Ekurhuleni betref, was een van die hoofredes waarom die lisensie nie uitgereik is nie, omdat die vertoning te naby aan die lughawe sou plaasvind. “Ons beplan al sedert Mei aan ’n JOOL wat uitsonderlik gaan wees. Om twee weke voor die tyd ‘n klagte oor ‘n kardinale gedeelte van JOOL aanhangig te maak, is effens te laat. Ons het reeds ’n belegging aangegaan wat gaan verseker dat ons in 2018 selfs meer

geld by die hekke maak, wat nog meer voordele vir Potchefstroom sal hê,” het Maritz gesê. Venter sê as een van die grootste instansies in die stad sal hulle graag wil sien dat JOOL en die NWU verantwoordelik optree. “Ons val JOOL glad nie aan nie, die vuurwerke is net ‘n groot bekommernis. Ons hanteer die massas verlore, bang en beseerde diere wat met vuurwerke gepaard gaan.” Maritz sê hulle besef dat al die inwo-

ners nie altyd gaande is oor JOOL nie, maar die geld wat JOOL insamel befonds 87 liefdadigheidsprojekte, verskeie van hulle ook vir diere. “Ek stel voor dat PAWS reeds in Meimaand ‘n gesprek met myself en die nuwe JOOL SR-lid van stapel stuur sodat ons die klagtes in ag kan neem alvorens ons besluite en beleggings maak.” Die versoek van PAWS om die vuurwerkvertoning tydens JOOL te stop, is deur die SR van die hand gewys.

Die Here seën vir Conrad Potgieter en Chris Fourie van Pick n Pay van der Hoffpark. Doen so voort. Blessings. Dankie vir julle. Hoe hartseer is dit nie om te sien hoe die Banketsaal en al die ander sale van die Raad agteruitgaan nie. Is daar dan geen trots nie, of is daar geen een wat kan gaan kyk wat aangaan nie. Waar is die raadslede, of is hulle ook maar net blompotte? Probleme: Tlokwe. Ek het geleer as jy enige probleem het, al is dit ’n rekening of lig wat nie brand nie, is daar niemand by Tlokwe wat jou kan of wil help nie. Gaan direk na jou wyksraadslid, dit is waarom hulle daar is en voor betaal word! Can someone please inform me why the tariffs on the prepaid electricity in Potchefstroom jump up and down. If I purchase power at the beginning of the month, the total is around 1.20 / unit but if I need to purchase later in the month again, it can jump to 1.80 or even more / unit. A van Romburgh. Kan julle vir Aardklop se ATKV tent asb. ’n platvorm skep vir ons Potch talent? Bv. van die hekke open van 08:00 tot 11:00, kan ses mense per dag vir ’n halfuur optree vir blootstelling aan Potch se gemeenskap. Van 11:00 tot 13:00 vermaak vir ons kleintjies. Van 13:00 tot 22:00 lekker by Huisgenoot se tent met die groot verskeidenheid van sangers ens. Vra net. Ek wil nou nie ’n klakous wees nie, maar wat sê die gesondheidswet by slaghuise as jy biltong wil koop? Vat die persoon wat nou net met rou vleis gewerk het aan die biltong sonder handskoene, voel of die biltong droog genoeg is en hou dit dan uit na die kliënt om ook te voel of dit droog genoeg is. Nie, word dit terug gehang. Hoop almal was hul hande na hulle toilet en slaghuis toe gaan. Sal maar soek vir handskoen slaghuis. Jig, sies man.

ander liedjies te sing soos Franja du Plessis. Hulle ken tog nie net die paar wat hulle oor en oor sing nie, sluit af met jou lied wat jou gewild gemaak het, maar sing van die ander ook. Hoe kan die NWU die skiet van vuurwerke op 3 Februarie toelaat? Arme troeteldiere met hulle eienaars weg vir die naweek! Ag nee, hul kry van my nie ’n sent wat so verskriklik onmenslik vermors word nie! Sê die Bybel nie dat jy na diere moet omsien nie? Tog wel! Omgekrapte leser. Lina Swart. Wil net weet, is daar regtig niemand by die munisipaliteit wat deur die stad kan ry en kyk vir die waterlekke, dit aanmeld en kyk dat dit dadelik herstel word? Nou word niks gedoen nie en ons inwoners moet water spaar. Hoeveel gelling water loop net weg? Word wakker en begin iets doen, en moet nie die inwoners die skuld gee nie. Die wat nie wil werk of hulle werk na gelang doen nie, kry ander wat wil werk. Julle mors ons geld met al die lui mense wat net ’n boom soek om onder te lê. (Lees graag ons berig op bl 12. Red) Ore jy wil weet waarom motorfietse so ’n lawaai maak. Meeste van hulle is winties. Maar hulle word soms groot, maar ai daar kom altyd weer jonges by. Kan die huiseienaars en stad se instandhoudingsmense nie asb. die bome onder oopsny nie? Weet julle wat kruip saans agter die beboste stamme weg? Weet julle wat gebeur agter die beboste stamme? Bedags dien dit sommer as toilet. Word wakker en doen iets. Sny die dooie takke uit, sny die laaghangende takke af bo die straatligte dat die strate weer veilig is en ’n mens saans kan gaan stap. Kan die stadsraad nie die eienaars beboet wat nie sigbare huisnommers voor hul huise het nie? Jy soek jou jis los as jy Potch nie ken nie en jy

moet ’n huis soek. Asb. eienaars maak ’n plan of kruip julle weg? Jy wat ’n hondjie van ’n ses jaar oue seuntjie doodry en dan wegjaag soos ’n lafaard! Jy kom vra nie eers vir hom en sê jy is jammer nie! Tlokwe, the road at the Kentucky, close to the Canal Crossing mall is almost a gravel road - an eyesore for travellers passing through Potch. Daniel at KFC, thank you for listening to our complaint and for your generosity. You now have a customer for life. Ek wil groot waardering uitspreek vir mnr. De Beer van De Beers meubels. Dit wat u vir u medemens beteken het u opgeskryf in die Groot Boek. My hele huisgesin sê opreg baie dankie. Rika. In die stad onrybaar maak nie? Dit is bewys lapwerk hou nie in draaie nie. Julle sal almal moet oorbou. Gedroom alles hou vir ewig? Dit is wat julle erf na 22 jaar van geen onderhoud aan die strate nie. Ferdii Erasmus. (Die eerste gedeelte van die SMS het onvolledig deurgekom. Red). Namens die inwoners van Skemering woonstelle wil ons net sê baie dankie aan die Rotariërklub vir die koopbewys wat jul ons gegee het, dit was vir ons soos manna. Mag God jul seën en dat jul van krag tot krag sal gaan. Liefdegroete aan almal wat bygedra het vir soveel vreugde. Thabo Mbeki no. 6 bly ’n groot probleem vir ons buurt. Vuilgoedsakke in erf vir weke. Geen sorg in die erf. Behoort dit aan iemand? Aaklig.

’n Mens word ’n mens genome, hy is haastig om die kers dood te blaas want dit moet donker wees. Hy stamp aan jou en draai op albei sye en stamp aan jou. Hy lê op sy maag dan op sy rug en hy stamp aan jou. Hy haal wind uit en hy snork en stamp aan jou. Genoem ‘n mens want is glo ’n mens. Tydens die inhuldigingstoespraak van Donald Trump hoor ons hom sê: Ons gaan dit en dat doen ens. Sonder God DrieEnig? Onmoontlik. Lees gerus Ps.23. Suid-Afrika is vandag ’n Piesang Republiek as gevolg van die onsinnige en verwaande optredes van ’n regering wat geen vrees vir God het nie. Verskriklik is dit om in die hande van die lewende God te val. Hennie. Die inwoners van Immergroen en Harmonie wil die AGS kerk van Pastoor Tom Becker, hartlik bedank vir die heerlike ete wat op 23 Desember aangebied is. Dit was heerlik. Woensdag 18 Januarie om 13:30. Die dame aan die passasierskant gooi vullis by die venster uit en die bestuurder se hele arm steek by die venster uit. Haar naels is pragtig pienk. So ry hulle oor twee stopstrate sonder stop en by die derde word die flikkerlig wel gebruik. Beide dames was in uniform. Ag nee. Ek wil net dankie sê aan almal wat vir my olifant ore en tydskrifte geskenk het, ek het dit werklik waardeer. Hannes. Hoekom kan skole of kerke en besighede hulle grasperke binne hulle perseel so mooi sny en nie buite op die sypaadjies nie? Ons is tog trots op ons dorp en ons omgewing. Face it… die Stadsraad kan nie meer nie….. Oopsie…

Nuwe skoolhoof wil leerders ‘n beter toekoms gee Marianke Saayman Mnr. Adriaan (Attie) Rudd is in Desember amptelik as hoof van Hoërskool Die Wilge aangestel, nadat hy vir sowat ‘n maand as waarnemende hoof by die skool gedien het. Mnr. Rudd het onderwys aan die destydse Potchefstroomse Onderwyskollege (Pote) in Potchefstroom studeer en het sy onderwysloopbaan in 1989 by Hoërskool Goudwes in Carletonville begin. Hy was daar vir 20 jaar en ses maande, tot hy ‘n pos as adjunkhoof by Hoërskool Die Wilge aanvaar het. Hy het as onderwyser Lewensoriëntering, Wiskunde en Aardrykskunde aangebied. Hy is ook ‘n baie groot Leeu ondersteuner, en hoewel hy tans nie enige sport afrig nie, is hy baie betrokke en raadgewend wanneer dit kom by skolesport en veral skolerugby vir LSOB (Leerders met Spesiale Onderrig Behoeftes). Hy is ook sekretaris van SA LSOB skolerugby en het in 2012 en 2014 gehelp om Cravenweek Rugby aan te bied. Rudd is al vir sowat 30 jaar ‘n onderwyser en het nog altyd net by LSOB skole skoolgehou. Hy was ook vir twee en ‘n half jaar waarnemende hoof by Ikalafeng Spesiale Skool. “Daar het ek baie respek vir mense en kinders gekry,” sê hy. “My passie is kinders. Kinders kom eerste en daarna kom die ander – dis

nou maar hoe dit werk.” Rudd se visie vir Die Wilge is om elke leerder in die skool ‘n beter toekoms te gee en die stigma wat rondom spesiale skole bestaan, te verander. “Ek wil hê as die kind hier uitstap moet hy trots wees en sê: ‘Ek was in die Wilge, en ek kan ook verder gaan’.” Rudd sê sedert hy by Die Wilge begin het, het hy al baie leerders gesien wat hoë hoogtes bereik het en ‘n goeie werk gekry het. Hy wil dit vir elke kind hê. “Die kind moet kan terugkom na ons toe en sê: ‘Meneer, dankie vir wat jy vir ons beteken het’. “Elke kind wat hier uitstap moet my kan onthou as ‘n hoof wat omgegee het. “Ek stel altyd die kind eerste.” Alhoewel Rudd erken dat om skoolhoof te wees nie altyd ‘n maklike taak is nie, en dat dit gepaard gaan met baie uitdagings, is dit wel ‘n groot mylpaal wat hy in sy lewe wou bereik en wat nou waar geword het. Vir hom is die lekkerste deel daarvan om hoof by Die Wilge te wees, om met sy personeel en met die kinders te werk, sowel as die daaglikse uitdagings wat die skool bied. “Dis nie ‘n gewone skool nie en daar is elke dag nuwe uitdagings wat oor jou pad kom wat jy moet hanteer, maar ek hou van ‘n uitdaging,” sê hy. Mnr. Adriaan (Attie) Rudd is die nuwe skoolhoof van Hoërskool Die Wilge. Foto: Verskaf

10 uit 10 met prof. Fika Marianke Saayman Wanneer ‘n mens prof. Fika se naam hoor, dink jy dadelik aan die vriendelike proffie met die wit baard wat met ‘n permanente glimlag op sy gesig die NWU se Potchefstroomkampus lei. Prof. Fika Janse van Rensburg, kampusrektor van die Puk word gelief deur baie, en gerespekteer deur almal. Die Herald het besluit om hom bietjie beter te leer ken deur 10 vrae aan hom te vra: Vertel my meer oor wat u doen vir ‘n lewe? Ek het die voorreg om Rektor te wees van die Potchefstroomkampus van die NWU. In praktyk beteken dit dat ek voor loop – terwyl ek handevat met hoogsbegaafde bestuurder-kollegas en roepingsbewuste studenteleiers en ‘n gemeenskap in Potchefstroom en die groter Tlokwe wat eienaarskap vir ons Universiteit aanvaar het. Die lekker kant is om te sien hoe ‘n akademikus ontwikkel tot erkende navorser, of ‘n kollega trots is op sy/haar werk! Die slegste is om vir ‘n student die deur te moet wys omdat daar geen (verdere) finansiële ondersteuning moontlik is nie. Waar het u grootgeword en wat wou u eendag word? My ouers het op die plaas Helena naby Tweeling (Vrystaat) geboer, en ek is in Frankfort gebore. Ek het op ‘n plaas in die Standerton-distrik grootgeword en skoolgegaan by Laerskool Val en Hoërskool Standerton, nadat ek graad 8 voltooi het aan die Eshowe High School in KZN. Ek wou eers siviele ingenieurswese (by Wits) studeer, onder andere omdat Wiskunde my gunstelingvak was. Ná ‘n paar jaar in die professie wou ek saaiboer wees soos my pa. Op ’n matriekkamp het ek egter geroepe begin voel om

predikant te word. As u een plek kon kies in Potch waar u meeste van u tyd wil deurbring, waar sou dit wees? Saam met my vrou Sunette en ons twee honde en ons kat by ons huis in Esselenstraat. Vyf mense wat u nog wil ontmoet, en hoekom? - Die skrywer van die 1 Petrus-brief, want ek het ‘n paar onbeantwoorde vrae oor wat hy bedoel het. - Mr Bean, want sy flieks laat my lag. - Aleksander die Grote, want ek wil weet wat hy nóg sou wou doen as hy nie op 32-jarige leeftyd gesterf het nie. - Die skrywer Deon Meyer, want sy díép mensekennis fassineer my. - Die rugby-afrigter Rassie Erasmus, want hy weet van strategie en motivering Saam met wie wil u nie in ‘n hysbak vassit nie? ‘n Persoon wat aan engtevrees ly. U gunstelingplek waarheen u al gereis het, of heen wil reis? Enige strand waar branders gery kan word, of in die berge met die vooruitsig van ’n staptog en ’n panoramiese uitkyk vanaf ’n bergtop. Wat is u stokperdjies? Lees! Van my gunstelingskrywers is André P. Brink en Deon Opperman. Fliek, ek en Sunette hou van goeie Afrikaanse films. Vyf dinge waarsonder u nooit die huis sal verlaat nie? My skootrekenaar, selfoon, knipmes, en beursie. En ietsie om aan te peusel... Drie gunsteling disse? Pap en wors, of spek en eiers. Vrugtesosatiestokkies. Biltong en neute. Wat is u gunsteling aanhaling? My lewensleuse is: “Slaaf van Christus, tot jou diens.” En die laaste strofe van ons Universiteitslied is my hartsgebed: Bless us, oh Lord, Seën ons, o Heer, O re tshegofatse Morena!

Prof. Fika Janse van Rensburg verwel kom vanjaar se eer stejaars met sy be kende glimlag. Foto: Marianke Saayman

Dr. Speedy Cilliers: Gebore: 4 Mei 1945 Oorlede: 19 Januarie 2017 Op 19 Januarie het ons geliefde eggenoot, pa, oupa en vriend sy laaste reis voltooi. Ons weet die Hemelse Vader was die stuurman van sy bootjie en ons is dankbaar om te weet dat hy nou rustigheid en vrede ervaar. Vir ons wat agterbly, laat dit ’n enorme leemte. Ons gaan sy liefde, wysheid en omgee mis. Gelukkig weet ons, in die woorde van M.E.R: “Van die mense wat jy liefhet, gaan jy nooit werklik weg nie.” ’n Stukkie van hom sal in elkeen van ons agterbly.

Potchefstroom’s oak trees under threat Lennie Gouws Concerns about the condition of the oak trees in Potchefstroom have infuriated the local residents for decades. In 1977, the whole town was up in arms when plans were afoot to uproot part of the oak avenue. A new administration building was erected west of Hoffman Street while the rest of the campus was on the eastern side of the street. The Potchefstroom Teachers’ Training College, therefore, applied to have a part of Hoffman Street closed because it divided the campus. This meant that Tom Street (now Steve Biko) Z the street directly to the east of Hoffman Street Z had to be widened to accommodate the increase in traffic. In order to do so, the trees had to be removed. According to Richard Ingram, the editor of the Potchefstroom Herald at the time, the newspaper was inundated with letters of protest and the Herald launched an editorial campaign to preserve the trees. A public petition was drafted and signed and led to the avenue being declared a national monument. According to the proclamation of this heritage site, the oak avenue ‘lends to the streets along which it is situated both dignity and aesthetic character’.

became apparent after 1980 and Dr Leon van Rensburg of the botany department and Prof. Huib von Hamburg of the zoology department of the Potchefstroom University conducted a study from 1988 to 1991. Van Rensburg found that the main reason for this was a drop in the available groundwater. When the trees were planted in 1910, part of the furrow system ran along the whole length of the oak-lined streets, contributing to the groundwater. By 1980, the sidewalks on either side of these streets were extensively paved over. An efficient storm water system removed rain water, further reducing the groundwater. This, and the densification of the Bult area, specifically, have all led to a drastic shortage of irrigation. One of the measures that the city council took was to install an irrigation

system along the 6,84 km length of the Oak Avenue. By 1999, it was found that, in spite of this, the trees were still in distress. This system has since fallen into disrepair and the trees are, once again, getting far too little water. Another factor contributing to the demise of the trees was an infestation of scales (Asterolecanium quercicola: Hemiptera: asterolecaniidae). Scales came to South Africa from Europe and, therefore, does not have natural enemies that keep it under control. The appearance of the scales was first reported in 1951. Prof. Huib von Hamburg told the Herald in 1995 that the scales hindered the autumn leaves from falling off the trees. This prevented new buds from forming in spring and, therefore, prohibited growth. In 2014, a group of researchers from the botany department of the

North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, embarked on a five-year project to monitor the physiological status of the oak trees. Another threat developed with the large and extensive building projects in the Bult area. Large areas under the trees were paved, which led to the compacting of the soil. This lowered the leaf water potential and endangered the health of the trees. In only one year of monitoring, the study showed that the leaf water potential of trees growing in areas where there are gardens around them was higher. Some developers have since installed irrigation systems around the trees that contribute to the available ground water but, in other areas, extensive pavements and pure neglect are killing them off.

The first oaks The first oak trees in Potchefstroom were planted on the property of President MW Pretorius in September 1863. The trees now encompassing the historic oak avenue were planted in 1910 following a decision by the town council, spearheaded by BR (Reuben) Gericke. The trees were planted along the route that Gericke travelled to work at the agricultural college each day. On 20 August 1910, the town council took the decision to plant the trees from the dam (then called the ‘reservoir’) along Tom and Berg (now Peter Mokaba) streets, Retief and Kruger (Beyers Naudé) streets, up to Potgieter Street (Nelson Mandela Drive). The plantings were later extended along Kruger, Wolmarans, Kock and Botha (Chris Hani) streets to the entrance of the agricultural college. Gericke also offered to supervise the planting of the trees. The late Mrs Tina Jooste, a fierce defender of the famous oak avenue, later recalled that she, as a young girl, saw how Mr Gericke and a worker watered the young oak trees from the nearby water furrows that ran along the streets of Potchefstroom.

Death knell

The death knell for the trees sounded in October 1972 when the extensive furrow system of Potchefstroom was closed down. A sharp decline in their condition

Police constable with a heart of gold Selogile Leshage A compassionate police constable and father of two acted swiftly when he heard that an 8-year-old boy in Greenfield was not able to go to school. The boy, Harmans Tebele Modiboa beamed and smiled broadly when he saw Const. Moeketsi Mosiane park the police van to take him to school on Tuesday morning. He was already dressed, looking neat in his school uniform and ready to join millions of Gr. 1s around the country who started school last Wednesday. Tebele, who will be turning nine in May is now a proud learner of Keotshepile Primary School. Const. Kelebogile Trom, spokesperson of Ikageng SAPS says they found out about the plight of the young lad last year. They had both noticed his 13-yearold brother park his broken bicycle at the Ikageng police station every morning last year and catch a bus to Bert’s Bricks Primary school. ‘The boy was so determined. His uniform was worn out and his old bicycle was breaking down but he parked it with a smile. We were intrigued by this boy who said he enjoyed going to school because that’s the only place where he’s able to get a hot plate of food for the day. We wanted to meet his family and see his living conditions,’ says Trom. When the two met the family, they encountered a family of fifteen living in abject poverty and sharing a four-roomed RDP house. The situation was made worse by the fact that there was no income and none of the family members or children had identity documents or birth certificates. Mosiane says this touched him and he felt he had to do something to assist the

family, especially the boy who did not go to school. He approached the principal of Keotshepile, Ms Rejoice Moeketsi, who promised to get back to him in January this year. ‘This year, the principal informed me that there is space available for the boy,’ he said. Trom says the Ikageng SAPS members were able to donate a school uniform to the boy. ‘We managed to buy a shirt, trousers, socks and a pair of shoes.’ When the Herald accompanied the SAPS and the boy to school, the Gr. 1 learner was impatient to go to his class. Before getting there, the principal warmly welcomed him and offered him words of motivation. ‘You must attend school regularly and concentrate on your books. Please do not disappoint Const. Mosiane because he cares about you and

your future.’ Const. Mosiane says he will continue to go the extra mile and ensure that the Modiboa family members have IDs and birth certificates. However, in the meantime, he is appealing to the community of greater Potchefstroom to assist the Gr. 1 learner with another uniform. Const. Trom says the boy has only one set of school clothes which has to be washed every day. ‘We welcome any donations including a school bag for the boy to continue going to school and, one

day, complete his Gr. 12 and study further,’ she said. ‘He never thought he would ever attend school in his life, Anyone who is willing to contribute should contact Const. Kelebogile Trom on 082 374 0271.

8yearold Tebele leads the two constables; Mosiane and Maherry out of his home to school.

Jennifer Kalanko is Mev. Afrika Internasionaal ‘n Personeellid van die Fakulteit Teologie aan die Potchefstroomkampus van die Noordwes-Universiteit is onlangs as Mev. Afrika-Internasionaal, gekroon. Mev. Sokhana Jennifer Kalanko is in Desember tydens ‘n glansgeleentheid by die OR Tambo Protea Hotel gekroon. Met haar oorspronklike inskrywing vir die kompetisie het sy gesê haar doel is nie om koppe te laat draai nie, maar om mense se harte na haar Koning en God te draai. “Ek is beslis nie ‘n skoonheidsmodel nie en my hoofdoel is om verskil in jong meisies se lewens te maak. Dit is vir my belangrik om die boodskap by hulle tuis te bring dat dit nie saak maak wat hulle omstandighede of agtergrond is nie, hulle kan hul drome bereik.” Jennifer is betrokke by ‘n gemeenskapsprojek, die Pixie-projek in Ika-

geng. Sy en twee medewerkers, me. Lerato Makuaone en dr. Miemsie de Jager het ‘n groep van sowat 20 meisies van Nanogang Primêre Skool onder hulle vlerk geneem. Hulle voorsien die meisies maandeliks van noodsaaklike toiletware. Sy sê hulle neem die meisies ook gereeld op uitstappies, soos op Mandela Dag, deur hulle met ‘n lekker ete te bederf. Jennifer is een van 40 vroue uit SuidAfrika, Botswana, Zambië, Zimbabwe, Mosambiek, Namibië, Kenia, Swaziland en Mauritius wat as finaliste aan die Mev. Afrika 2017-kompetisie deelgeneem het. Suid-Afrika was vanjaar die gasheer van die kompetisie. Jennifer is die bestuursassistent van dr. Aldred Genade van die Skool vir Bybelse Berading en Kerklike Bediening aan die Fakulteit Teologie. Sy is getroud met TP Kalanko en die egpaar spog met twee kinders.

Mev. Jennifer Kalanko ontvang haar sertifikaat tydens ’n glansgeleentheid waar sy as Mev. AfrikaInternasionaal gekroon is.

Twee historiese geboue, twee stories Lennie Gouws Hartseerstorie van die Kings Hotel Toe die Kings Hotel in 1902 vir £25 000 gebou is, was dit gereken as een van die beste hotelle in Suid-Afrika. Dié hotel het van Potchefstroom ’n toeristebestemming gemaak. Gholfspelers het vanoor die hele land gekom om daar oor te bly en gholf by die Potchefstroomse gholfbaan te speel. Die Kings was die 19de putjie. Tien jaar na die eerste motor gemaak is, in 1905, pak die Transvaal Automobile Club ’n uitstappie vanaf

Johannesburg na Potchefstroom aan en minstens agt motors het die tog meegemaak. Die hotel is egter deur tragedies getref. ‘n Eienaar, mnr. Werner Jahn, het in die dertigerjare in die hotel selfmoord gepleeg, terwyl ’n latere eienaar in die hotel deur ’n dronk kelner doodgeskiet is wat later selfmoord gepleeg het. In 1964 is die hotel gemoderniseer en is badkamers op die veranda van die eerste vloer gebou. Die fyn gietysterpilare en tipiese Victoriaanse versierings moes plek maak

Die foto van die Kings Hotel is in 1905 geneem toe ’n groep motors van die Transvaal Automobile Club ’n uitstappie van Johannesburg na Potchefstroom onderneem het. Fo to: Potchefstroom Museum.

vir staalplate, vierkantige pilare en moderne hortjiesvensters. Al waaraan die pragtige ou hotel nou herken kan word, is die gietyster dakversiering met die naam. Die president bou sy eie huis Op grond wat hy van die ZAR gekry het as deel van sy salaris, het die nuutgekose president MW Pretorius in 1857 vir hom ’n huis gebou. Vandag is dit die President Pretorius-museum. Die ZAR was te arm om Pretorius behoorlik te betaal en hy moes so tussen-

deur sy presidentspligte ook ’n inkomste verdien, wat hy as grofsmid en wamaker gedoen het. ’n Smidswinkel was nodig en die gebou suid van die huis is hiervoor gebou. In die 1920’s was dié gebou die dierkundelaboratorium van die PUK. Studente vertel dat hulle self diere moes vind om te dissekteer. ’n Jagtog is deur die dorp onderneem en enigiets wat gevang is, is gedissekteer, of dit nou wilde diere of iemand se troeteldier was.

ElliptiGO kan met groot vrug gebruik word Lezahn Jafta ’n Bekende in atletiekkringe in Potchefstroom, Bertus le Roux, het die afgelope naweek tydens die Berts Bricks padwedloop ‘n nuwigheid aan Potchefstromers bekendgestel. Hy vertel sy verhaal: “Op 14-jarige ouderdom het ek aan padwedlope begin deelneem en reeds op 16-jarige ouderdom my eerste 42,2 km marathon voltooi. Dit was destyds nog toelaatbaar,” vertel Bertus. Toe ek 18 jaar oud was, het ek beide die Two Oceans- en die Comrades Ultramarathons voltooi en op 27 jaar het ek my tiende agtereenvolgende Comrades voltooi, terwyl ek die Two Oceans Ultra 13 keer voltooi het. Bertus het ook die destydse kano Iron Man-driekamp 15 keer voltooi en die klub 1 000 (1 000 km in ’n jaar in padwedlope) sewe keer voltooi. Op 47jarige ouderdom het hy al meer as 100 marathons voltooi, maar sy knieë het begin ingee en hy moes twee operasies ondergaan om kraakbeen te verwyder. “Ek het op YouTube ’n video van die ElliptiGO gesien en was dadelik gefassineer met die hardloop-aksie en die feit dat dit nie dieselfde impak op jou ledemate het nie. Ek het die vervaardiger gekontak en was baie gelukkig om een in Potchefstroom te kon koop wat ’n Nederlandse atleet (wat hier geoefen het) gebruik het. “Die ElliptiGO is besonder sterk, maar lig gebou en kombineer die oefenvoordele van die elliptiese gimnasiumapparaat, ’n fiets en ’n hardloop-trapmeul, vertel hy. Daar is al verskeie navorsingsprojekte hieroor voltooi, wat aandui dat die gebruiker 35% meer

energie verbruik as ’n fietsryer. Dit is ook baie maklik om teen bulte te gebruik, danksy die agtspoed ratkas.” Ek het ook die binnenshuise rollerpasstuk wat dit moontlik maak om die ElliptiGO gedurende die winter en saans binneshuis te gebruik. Dit is verbasend maklik om die ElliptiGO te gebruik en ek kon binne vyf minute met gemak snelhede van 30km/h behaal. My gemiddelde oefensessies is 20km, wat ek in 55 minute voltooi. Dit het ’n baie lae impak op gewrigte, knieë,

heupe en jou rug, terwyl die regopstaan-posisie baie gemaklik is en boonop goed is vir jou maagspiere, sê Le Roux. Swanger Olimpiese atlete soos René Kalmer, beseerde Olimpiese atlete en die oudste Olimpiese marathonatleet (Meb Keflezigji, 40, VSA) het almal voordeel getrek deur dit vir hulle oefensessies te gebruik. Potchefstromers wat ’n “toetsrit” wil neem, is welkom om vir Bertus ’n Facebookboodskap of e-pos by BertusLR@gmail.com te stuur.

Hierdie Luiperd is pure blits in groen trui Wouter Pienaar Rugbykenners kan maar gerus vir Pukke en die Luiperds Sewes-speler, Diederik Oberholzer met ‘n fyn oog dophou. Dié plaaslike rugbyspeler het einde verlede jaar die kans van ‘n leeftyd gehad toe hy in die SA Springbok Sewes-akademiespan opgeneem is vir twee groot Sewestoernooie in Kaapstad (19 November) en Dubai (2-3 Desember). “Dit was ‘n groot eer gewees. Die afrigters was tevrede met my vertonings by die toernooie, so ja dit het goed gegaan,” vertel Oberholzer in sy groen SA Akademiespan-trui wat hy duidelik met trots dra. Dit was juis daardie eerste drie vir die SA Akademiespan se groen trui in die Kaapstad-toernooi wat Oberholzer baie trots gemaak het. “Die opposisie het die bal in die lug geskop waar ek die bal toe uit die lug gevang het en toe vir ‘n drie deurgehardloop het. Dit was my eerste drie wat ek soos gister onthou. “In Dubai het ons het al drie ons groepwedstryde gewen en toe in die finaal teen Engeland te staan gekom. Dit was ‘n ongelooflike ervaring gewees om rugby van goeie gehalte in Dubai te kon speel en deel van die SA Akademie Sewesspan te kon wees. Oberholzer voeg ook by dat dit juis aangenaam was om saam met die Blitzbokke te kon oefen en ‘n paar dinge by hulle te kon leer, wat die ervaring nog soveel beter gemaak het. Die SA-Sewes Akademiespan is juis die plek waar op-

komende Springbok Sewes-spelers geidentifiseer word. “Die Akademiespan word geoogmerk om die volgende groep spelers te wees wat moontlik in die 2020 Olimpiese Spele kan deelneem,” noem hy. Die oud matrikulant van Hoërskool Ben Vorster in Tzaneen het reeds in sy skooljare bewys wat in hom steek en het na skool vyf Curriebekerwedstryde vir Vrystaat se o.19 span gespeel, voor hy sy skouer destyds beseer het. “Pieter van den Berg, Luiperds Sewesafrigter, het my toe gekontak en gevra of ek nie vir die Luiperds wil kom speel nie. Ek het ingestem en van daar af het dinge net goed gegaan,” vertel Oberholzer, wat tans ‘n tweedejaar MBW Sportstudent op die Puk is. Op die nasionale Sewesweek in Nelspruit het Maruis Schoeman, SA Sewes Akademie se bestuurder vir Oberholzer raakgesien en die res is geskiedenis. Oberholzer meen dat Sewes lekker en meer uitdagende aspekte het wat hom na hierdie rugbykode trek. “’n Speler moet ongelooflik fiks wees aangesien daar meer oppervlakte op ‘n rugbyveld gedek moet word. Daar is ook meer kans om aan te val en ’n gaping te probeer slaan. Spoed en bietjie ekstra vaardighede is belangrik om jou opponent te kan klop. Ek werk hard en my doel is om die fiksste speler op die veld te wees.” Volgens Oberholzer het Hein Wagner op o.14 vlak sy se talent vir aanvallende spel en veral die Sewes-formaat raakgesien.

“Hy het my aangemoedig om Sewes eendag te speel, veral omdat dit nie juis groot op skool is nie en daar eerder 15man rugby gespeel word,” vertel Oberholzer, wat ook die speler van die toernooi tydens sy o.18 Cravenweek Sewes-toernooi was waar hy die meeste drieë gedruk het. “Ek het nou saam met die Blitzbokke geoefen en ek kan met sekerheid sê dat Seabelo Senatla werklik blitsvinnig is. Werner Kok en Kwagga Smith en almal wat by die Blitzbokke is, is almal regtig nederig en bereidwillig om ons jonger

ouens te help. Dit was vir my regtig lekker om daardie blootstelling te kon kry.” Oberholzer is tans in die Puk 1 rugbygroep vir die komende rugbyseisoen opgeneem en sal ook heel waarskynlik Varsity Sewes vir Pukke hierdie jaar speel asook vir die Luiperds Sewes en o.21 spanne. “My doel is om nog eendag vir die Blitzbokke te speel en dan daarna ook te kyk of ek oorsee kan gaan speel. Om blootstelling te kry aan hulle afrigting en metodes, sal vir my ook goed wees,” sê hy.

Promotion a priority for Jomo Cosmos Wouter Pienaar

from bigger clubs in the future. Frederick Nsabiyumva Captain Fantastic has had a blinder of a season thus far in the centre back position and he will aim to continue being a rock in defence in 2017. Clean sheets are music to this Burundian’s ears. The Cosmos captain is also a great leader on the pitch who inspires with his deeds on it. Mxolisi Macuphu Macuphu is in great goal-scoring form of late and his rocket of a shot has been giving him countless goals this season. He still needs to work on his radar, from time to time, but if he is in the mood, he will be a valuable goal-scorer in the NFD in the months to come. Lefa Hlongwane The young striker with the golden streak in his hair starred in Cosmos’s recent 3-1 drubbing of Santos before the festive season break. This could be the start of big things for Hlongwane who could form a lethal partnership with Macuphu this year. Any Ezenkosi fan would like that to become a reality.

Thirteen points - that is what stands between Jomo Cosmos and a surefire climb back to the top of the National First Division (NFD) in 2017. Cosmos will need to haul in Thanda Royal Zulu, which is sitting pretty at the top of the NFD table, currently on 35 points. Cosmos is in the fifth position with 22 points at the halfway point of the season as they aim to move back to the PSL after cruelly being relegated in the 2015/16 season. Cosmos’s head coach, Jomo Sono is confident that his side can use Olën Park, their home stadium in Potchefstroom, as a fortress par excellence to get maximum points on each occasion. ‘Thanda should be looking behind them. They won’t win here in Potch. We are much stronger here than in our previous match against them. Our aim is a promotion to the PSL,’ he stated in an online interview. Jomo Cosmos’s first match of the new year is against Mthatha Bush Bucks on 11 February in Mthatha with their first home game against Milano United at Olën Park coming on Wednesday 18 February. Cosmos players to look out for in 2017: Tebogo Tlolane The young winger has dazzled home fans with his trickery and given the left backs nightmares in the NFD this season. Tlolane, who is appropriately nicknamed Messi, is just as diminutive as the international superstar and, with a number of The Namibian international, Ananias Gebhardt, is good performances, playing great football for Cosmos in midfield this should attract attention season.

Diederik Oberholzer is in November verlede jaar vir die Springbok Sewes Akademiespan gekies en het met durf en daad die nommer 10 trui in hulle toernooi in Dubai gedra.

Sono gets another feather in his cap Wouter Pienaar The esteemed and highly respected football coach of Jomo Cosmos, Jomo Sono, recently had yet another honour bestowed upon him. He was elected as the president of the African Football Legends’ Forum. The Potchefstroom Herald decided to have a chat with him about his new position. 1) How did the African Football Legends’ presidency happen for you? Were you selected based on your achievements? Yes, I was selected based on my achievements, credibility, hard work, transparency and history in football. 2) What does being selected as president mean to you, personally? I am honoured and overwhelmed. 3) What are your main tasks as president? To coordinate and approve all events in AFL and create unity among all football legends. 4) How has the preparation for the first NFD match against Bush Bucks been? Are you satisfied with the overall mood in the camp, thus far? Yes, we are ready. We have to be consistent and try not to lose games

at home. 5) It seems that Mxolisi Macuphu and Lefa Hlongwane have found their scoring boots this season. Who should we be keeping an eye on for the rest of the season? Yes, they are on song. We have a depth of talent in the squad, and you never know who the next big star will be. 6) What will be the key aspect in order for you to gain promotion to the PSL again? To win all our home games. 7) Any message to the Cosmos fans? Let’s pray together.

SA Women’s cricket is in safe hands Wouter Pienaar Women’s cricket is currently on the rise both locally and internationally with these ladies showing the world that they are just as skilled with a bat or ball in hand. In Sinalo Jafta’s case, you can include a set of wicket-keeping gloves in the equation. The young Women’s Dragons’ wicketkeeper is currently busy battling Bangladesh in Proteas colours and making a name for herself on the world stage. Potchefstroom Herald caught up with this cricketer who is also an NWU Puk student: 1. Congratulations on being selected for the CSA National Academy squad. Tell me, how does the inclusion make you feel? Do you feel it is an important step as an SA cricket player? The inclusion means the world to me, it’s basically a stepping stone in the right direction with regard to my cricket career if I want to strive to be a powerhouse in women’s cricket. And it’s happening at the right time. 2. Where did you grow up and what school did you attend? I grew up in a small town just outside East London, called Butterworth. I was in Komga Primary School and I also attended Stirling High School in East London. 3. What degree are you studying at NWU Pukke? I’m studying Human Resources and Labour Relations, but I want to pursue a career in Sports Science. 4. Tell me about your earliest cricketing memory It would have to be in primary school where I practised with the boys’ team. I remember the coach telling me I would never make it in cricket. I think that’s when he struck a nerve and all I wanted to do was to prove him wrong and I fell in love with the sport. 5. What do you like most about cricket? What makes it different from any other sport?

I just like it when you are in those tough situations when you are forced to keep calm, even if you know you going to break any minute. That’s when true character is shown Z when you have to either sink or swim. And that is a life lesson; through hardship, you figure out who you really are. Cricket teaches you patience and that’s what I love. 6. When did you realise you could be playing for the Proteas Women’s team one day? It was always a childhood dream but it became so real when I got invited to my first national camp this time last year. 7. How was the experience of playing for the Proteas? Is there any memory of that first match that sticks out? You made your debut against New Zealand, correct? It was a very emotional day. I shed a few tears because all the hard work and sacrifices had paid off. It sounds cliché but I had to put hockey on hold and it was very tough to adjust because it was a different environment. Walking onto the field with the Protea badge on my chest was the best memory because now I was representing all the young and old girls out there. 8. Who has been the most influential person in your cricket career? Who has helped you the most? My mother. She was a single parent

and she gave up a lot for me to be where I am. She is my biggest influence. 9. What do you like most about wicketkeeping? I like the feeling of being in control, making sure the fielders’ angles are correct and also motivating the bowler in setting up the batsman. 10. Any aspect of your game that you are most proud of? I’m proud that I’ve come this far and knowing that I have so much more to give whether it’s on or off the field. Every day is an opportunity to improve, so I’m going for the small margins to make sure that I give my best for the team because that is all it’s for. The team always comes first. 11. Future goals in cricket? I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, but I’m striving to be the best wicketkeeper South Africa has ever had. And that is only going to come with hard work and God’s will. 12. How has the women’s game evolved in the sport? I feel that women’s cricket has been given more recognition lately. Do you agree? I agree with you 100 per cent. It’s growing every day which should push all the women’s cricketers to start putting in the hard yards and not take their opportunities for granted. In sport, you can’t afford to be complacent because you will get left behind.

Sinalo Jafta is currently making a name for herself in the SA Proteas women's team as an upandcoming wicketkeeper. This NWU Pukke student absolutely loves her sport. Photo: Supplied

13. Favourite South African cricket players? I would have to say, Mark Boucher, since we are both wicketkeepers from East London 14. Favourite international cricket players? I would have to say, Alyssa Healy, the current wicketkeeper of the Australian women’s cricket team.

Volkies kook tydens Interhuis Wouter Pienaar Omtrent net so helder en skerp soos wat die son verlede Vrydag (20 Januarie) geskyn het, het Volkies se atlete op die Puk McArthur-atletiekbaan tydens hulle Groot Vyf Interhuis hulle talente ook helder en duidelik laat

skyn. Die dag het vir groot pret gesorg met krete en gesang wat vanuit die hoofpawiljoen basuin het om die atlete op die veld na nuwe hoogtes aan te spoor. Die Luiperds (Graad 8) het die Groot Vyf Interhuis gewen. Altesaam 10 nuwe rekords is ook gedurende die byeenkoms opgestel. Robbie de Villiers is vir sy uit-

stekende vorm in die 800- en 1500 meter beloon met die titels van beste senior baanatleet en Victor Ludorum. Mardi Swart het drie toekennings, naamlik beste junior baanatleet, beste junior veldatleet en Victrix Ludorum gekry. Lexton Matthews is as beste senior veldatleet aangewys.

Volkies se atletiekuitblinkers is van links Robbie de Villiers (beste senior baanatleet en Victor Ludorum, Mardi Swart (beste junior baanatleet; beste junior veldatleet en Victix Ludorum) en Lexton Matthews (beste senior veldatleet).

23 rekords spat tydens Ferdies se interhuis

Matriek moker dubbelhondertal Wouter Pienaar Volkskool se uitblinker krieketspeler en matriekleerder, Louis van Schalkwyk het weer eens bewys dat hy nie net op skolevlak die hondertalle inpalm nie, maar ook op nasionale vlak. Van Schalkwyk is onlangs vir die o.23 Lionsspan gekies om in twee driedag-wedstryde in Oudtshoorn tydens die KSA Akademieweek, wat vanaf 20 tot 29 Januarie plaasvind, te speel. Hier het Van Schalkwyk ‘n ongelooflike 204 van 282 balle gemoker in ‘n beurt wat enige professionele krieketspeler jaloers sou maak. Van Schalkwyk is boonop die enigste skoolseun in die Lionsspan en speel beslis ver bo sy eie ouderdom met beurte wat konsentrasie en groot talent verg.

Volkies buig die knie teen Menlopark Wouter Pienaar Volkies se eerstespan het op hulle tuisveld verlede Saterdag die intensiteit van die Finsburg A-liga beleef toe hulle die knie teen Menlopark, die verdedigende kampioene, met ses paaltjies moes buig. Volkies speel vanjaar in die A-liga nadat hulle verlede jaar die promosie/relgasiewedstryd teen EG Jansen gewen het. In hierdie liga gaan Volkies alles moet insit en seker maak dat hulle foute soveel as moontlik minimaliseer. In hierdie wedstryd teen Menlopark het die besoekers se draaiers koning op ‘n stadige blad gekraai met Tristan Janse van Rensburg wat amok gesaai het met sy 4/28 in 10 boulbeurte. Volkies het na ‘n 47 lopie openings-

vennootskap tussen Vincent Viljoen en Herman Prinsloo die kluts kwyt geraak en hulle volgende agt paatjies vir slegs 60 lopies verloor. As dit nie vir Jannie Claassens se 32 en Timothy Malan se 28 was nie, sou die telkaart baie slegter gelyk het. Hierdie twee manne het vir hoop gesorg en Volkies tot by 173 almal uit gebring. Menlopark het die teiken van 174 behaal danksy goeie en presiese kolfwerk van Dirk Thuynsma (56)* en Jaco Lange (45). Viljoen was Volkies se beste bouler met 2/22. Volkies se eerstes speel komende naweek weg teen Nelspruit.

Ferdies se atlete is gereed vir die 2017 atletiekseisoen. Tydens die interhuis is daar 23 rekords verbeter. Die volgende uitstekende atlete het rekords verbeter: Janco Malan- diskus Pierre Joubert – hoogspring Alyssa Manders – gewigstoot, 100m en 200m wedlope Nathan van der Linde – gewigstoot Marnelle Leibrandt – driesprong Shaun Harper – driesprong Anke Jonker – spiesgooi Lionel Moss – spiesgooi Stephan Bezuidenhout – spiesgooi Chane Coetzee – 100m en 400m wedloop Thami Yona – 200m wedloop Dawina Fransman – 200m wedloop Tiaan Bell – 200m en 400m wedlope Karli Beukes – 400m wedloop en 90m hekkies Leandri Marais – 400m wedloop en 1500m Langafstande: William Sireko – 400m en 1500m wedlope Leandri Marais (Senior Victrix Ludorum), Eddie Engels en Nhlanhla Faku (Senior Victor Ludorums), Karin Kooij en Karli Beukes (Junior Victrix Ludorums) en Tiaan Bell (Junior Victor Ludorum), was die top atlete.

Gimmies gee Merensky pakslae op die krieketveld Potchefstroom Gimnasium se eerste krieketspan het die afgelope naweek hul veldtog in die Finsburyreeks op ‘n baie hoë noot op die Gimmie-oval begin, deur Merensky baie gemaklik met agt paaltjies te klop. Die besoekers van Limpopo is in die 44ste beurt almal teruggestuur pawiljoen toe vir 130 lopies. Vir Gimmies het Jacques Botha met die bal uitgeblink deur vier paaltjies plat te trek in die agt beurte wat hy

geboul het. Botha is stelselmatig besig om elke jaar te verbeter en hierdie jaar mag dalk net sy beste een wees. In die proses staan Botha slegs 26 lopies af. Dit het slegs 24 beurte geneem vir Gimmies om die wenlopies aan te teken met kaptein Vernon Charslund wat 44 lopies bygedra het. Melding moet gemaak word van Divan Mienie wat ‘n blitsvinnige 34 onoorwonne lopies van slegs 14 balle (wat vyf viere en twee sesse insluit) aangeteken het.

Die o.15’s het die langpad Tzaneen toe aangepak en was behoorlik in beheer van sake toe reën die laaste sê gehad het. Merensky is vir slegs 74 lopies uitgeknikker, met Junior Mathe wat vier paaltjies vir 22 lopies in ses beurte geneem het. Dirco Bester het drie paaltjies geneem. Die komende naweek speel Gimmies hul tweede wedstryd in die Finsbury-reeks teen Montana in Pretoria. Die o.15’s speel tuis.

Puk 1 takes the honours in T20 tournament Wouter Pienaar A combination of tight bowling, strategic captaincy and dynamic batting took Puk 1 to the title of North West Premier League T20 tournament champions this past weekend. This tournament saw nine of the best cricket clubs in North West take to the various cricket ovals at the Fanie du Toit Sports Grounds. Teams took part in knockout matches with the winners moving on to the final in this fast paced cricket tournament hosted on the Saturday and Sunday. Puk 1 took on Potch Dorp 1 in the final where Puk 1 won by 9 runs in a tightly contested final where the team with the best discipline and big match temperament would edge out their competitors. Puk 1 batted first in the final and put on a respectable 152/7 from their 20 overs at the Puk Oval, mainly due to a steady knock from opener Shane Dadswell who scored 70 (57). Potch Dorp’s best bowlers were captain Stefan Gericke with 2/21 and Marcus Fourie taking 2/34. Potch Dorp would have fancied their chances in chasing 153 but they could only muster 143/8 in their reply. Lourén Steenkamp top scored with a valiant 51 before he was needlessly run out. Gericke also hit a number of big shots in his knock of 25 but, when his wicket fell on the dreaded Nelson of 111, Dorp’s winning dominoes came tumbling down. JP le Roux (2/19) and Niel Durrow (1/20) were the outstanding bowlers for Puk 1 and their tight bowling and use

of yorkers put a halt to any chance of a Potch Dorp victory. The final over was an anti-climax as the tailenders could not put bat to ball and Puk 1 claimed

a well-deserved win. Best batsmen of the North West Premier League T20 1) Andreas Joubert (Vaal Reefs) – 179

runs at an average of 89.5 and strike rate of 174. 2) Shane Dadswell (Puk 1) – 150 runs at an average of 37.5 and strike rate of 140. 3) Lourén Steenkamp (Potch Dorp) – 113 runs at an average of 56.5 and strike rate of 124. Best bowlers of the North West Premier League T20 1) Hussain Ali (Potch Dorp) – 9 wickets at an average of 7.9 and with best figures of 5/9. 2) Joster Mosiane (Lichtenburg CC) – 6 wickets at an average of 6.8 with best figures of 3/15 3) Pieter Joubert (Vaal Reefs) – 6 wickets at an average of 10.7 and best figures of 3/20.

Bittersweet weekend for Dragons on home turf Wouter Pienaar North West Dragons had a bittersweet weekend of cricketing results this past weekend when they took on Boland in a Sunfoil 3-Day Cup and One-Day Cross Pool matches at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom. The Dragons started off on a high with an 82-run win in the 3-day match but came unstuck in a thrilling one-day match which they agonisingly lost by 1 run after number 11 batsman Julian Soutter was run out. Before all the thrills of that oneday match, a 3-day match tested both sets of players on a good surface which had something in it for both batsmen and bowlers. The Dragons batted first and scored 298 with Marques Ackerman top-scoring with 68. Boland eclipsed North West’s total with 313 runs in reply with Jean Bredenkamp top

scoring with a free flowing 80. André Malan was the best bowler for the home side with 4/30. Malan then took that performance as a surefire confidence boost as he preceded to smash 103 not out in the Dragons second innings. Together with brother, Janneman Malan (88) they put on a swift 135-run partnership as the Dragons declared on 290/2. A terrific bowling performance from Brady Barends (5/33) in the second innings tore the heart out of Boland’s batting lineup as the visitors could only muster 193 all out. The Sunday one-day game was also a true classic with Boland smashing the Dragons bowlers to all parts. Bredenkamp was the star with his 110 in their total of 313/8. The Dragons were resolute in their chase as half-centuries from Janneman Malan and Ruan Haasbroek kept them on track. A middle order collapse follo-

wed and it was left to Barends and Eden Links to repair the innings. Their 56 run stand looked like it could win the game for the home side, especially when links hammered the first two balls of the final over for four. Boland’s

Lizaad Williams kept his nerve as the second last ball when to Isma-eel Gafaldien who hit the stumps as Soutter went for the game-tying single. It was game over as Boland claimed one of the great wins at Senwes Park.

Gimmies en Volkies gaan vir Varsity Krieket vuurwerke sorg Wouter Pienaar Varsity Krieket gaan hierdie jaar in sy derde aflewering in Potchefstroom vanaf 30 Januarie tot 4 Februarie sorg vir groot vuurwerke, veral met die dat twee groot skoolkanonne weer klomp dinamiet op die krieketveld gaan skiet. Net soos verlede jaar gaan Hoër Volkskool Potchefstroom en Potchefstroom Gimnasium se eerste krieketspanne mekaar weer aanvat in ’n 12 beurt per kant-wedstryd wat as ‘n lekker lusmaker voor die groot Varsity Krieket eindstryd op Saterdag 4 Februarie gaan dien. “Kykersgetalle en bywoning is vir ons by Varsity Sports baie belangrik. Ons glo dat die wedstryd tussen Volkies en Gimmies goeie getalle sal lok, aangesien dit ‘n baie geskiedkundige tweestryd tussen hierdie skole is. “Ons waardeer dit dat ons hierdie samewerking met dié twee skole het,” het Duitser Bosman, HUB van Varsity

Sports gesê. Gimmies het verlede jaar die wedstryd teen Volkies gewen en Volkies sal beslis wraak wil neem en ook die titel as Varsity Krieketkampioen wil dra. Buiten hierdie skolestryd gaan die Varsity Kriekettoernooi natuurlik op

almal se lippe wees met die plaaslike gemeenskap wat sal duim vashou dat die Pukke die beker sal vat. Agt universiteite gaan saam met die Pukke om die trofee meeding en wedstryde gaan aksiebelaai wees. “Ons nooi die plaaslike

Die merkwaardige tweedstryd tussen Volkies en Gimmies se krieketspanne gaan weer in die Varsity Kriekettoernooi vlamvat. Hierdie toernooi waarin agt universiteite speel gaan vanaf 30 Januarie tot 4 Februarie in Potchefstroom plaasvind. Van links is Wian Lubbe (afrigter van Gimmies), Vernon Charslund (kaptein van Gimmies), Duitser Bosman (Varsiy Sports HUB), Cobus Crowther (Volkies) en Andries Huisamen (Volkies afrigter).

gemeenskap om die krieket te kom geniet. Daar gaan ook grootskerms wees om die Varsitybeker te kom kyk wat op Maandag 30 Januarie gaan plaasvind,” het Bosman gesê. Potchefstroom gaan behoorlik in ‘n krieketkarnaval omskep word oor hierdie ses dae en Potchefstromers sal dwaas wees om enige bal te mis.

Sierlike sprong Great Brick Run trek talle atlete Wouter Pienaar Atlete van Potchefstroom, die groter Noordwes Provinsie en internasionale lande soos Swede, het hulle drafvernuf tydens die bekende Berts Bricks Great Brick Run op Saterdag 21 Januarie ten toon gestel. Berts Bricks Atletiekklub het dié wedloop by die Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub se velde aangebied en dit was soos in die verlede, weer eens ‘n groot sukses.

Atlete van verskeie klubs, soos Harmony Striders, het ook deelgeneem.

Sowat 750 atlete het aan die 5-, 10en 21,1 kilometer afstande deelgeneem. Dit was juis die verskeidenheid atlete van verskillende ouderdomsgroepe, kulture en fiksheidsvlakke wat die wedloop so uniek gemaak het. Die algehele wenner van die 21,1 km was Moate Aaron, wat die wedloop in ‘n tyd van 1:11 minute en 38 sekondes voltooi het. Die eerste dame was Louise Wiker van Swede, wat in ‘n tyd van 1:25 minute en 13 sekondes voltooi het.

Riaan en Wanda Redelinghuys van Berts Bricks Atletiekklub het die wedloop geniet.

Beide die eerste mans en dames wat die wedloop met ‘n baksteen voltooi het, kom van Klerksdorp af. Die eerste man wat die 21,1 met ‘n baksteen voltooi het, was Phinias Stuurman en die eerste dame was Tony Bennet. “Die wedloop was ‘n groot sukses en die deelnemers van jonk tot oud het dit baie geniet. Die wedloop groei elke jaar en ten spyte van die moeilike ekonomiese toestande, het atlete van die Kaapprovinsie en baie van Gauteng ook deelgeneem,” het die organiseerders van Berts Bricks Atletiekklub genoem. Volgens hulle is die groot hoogtepunt om elke jaar die ondersteuning van ‘n groot aantal deelnemers en lede van die gemeenskap te kry. “Wat so ‘n wedloop spesiaal maak, is om die deelnemers se reaksies dop te hou as hulle die eindstreep oorsteek en om hulle stories na die tyd te hoor van wat op die roete gebeur het. “Elke atleet wat die wedloop voltooi, ongeag hoe jonk of oud hy of sy is, het sy eie persoonlike doelwit wat hy wil bereik. “Vir sommige is dit om te wen, of selfs net om klaar te maak.” Berts Bricks Atletiekklub bedank graag vir Berts Bricks Potchefstroom, Kirby Potchefstroom, Willows Property Group, Sportsmans Warehouse Klerksdorp, Miederpark Spar, NWU Biokinetika, Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub, vrywilligers, asook die Tlokwe Verkeersdepartement wat die roete veilig gemaak het.
