Hold the line: Service is out Marti Will RESIDENTS’ conclusions would not be amiss in thinking that the Matjhabeng Local Municipality’s function and service is collapsing. Last week all municipal telephone lines, including emergency services, went dead. To dial any number led to being confronted by a frustrating voice recording saying: “The number you have dialled is not available at the moment. Please phone again later,” or “The number you have dialled does not exist”. Fire and emergency services personnel were totally cut off from the world. Urgent negotiations with the council and political parties on Friday evening (04/03) enabled six cellphones to be purchased on contract. These were then distributed to the Matjhabeng fire stations. Some fire personnel even made their private numbers available on Facebook for residents to use in cases of emergency. This fiasco escalated the ongoing saga of burst water pipes, potholes and other service disasters, as no-one could contact anyone at the municipality to provide municipal services. In an advertisement published in local newspapers, Adv. Mothusi Lepheane, municipal manager, explains that the Matjhabeng Municipality’s cost-cutting measures are bearing fruits, with hundreds of thousands of rands being saved. He says the municipality is tightening its financial belt, and checking all irregularities concerning inaccurate billing from service providers. The telephone company service provider has been suspended following a dispute with the monthly bill. Lepheane says that all normal telephone lines have been reinstated. In the advert he provides a list of numbers that can be used. Vista attempted to phone 057-352-2222 and 057-391-3911 (emergency services and the municipal offices). Both numbers are still inactive. Denise Jooste of the Matjhabeng Ratepayers Association (MRA) sent Lepheane an email on Tuesday, 1 March, demanding answers. “What on earth is going on at the municipality? Is the municipality imploding? People at the municipality are short-tempered and it sounds as if they do not want to deliver services. Please advise me on what to do with complaints that are coming in at an alarming rate to the Ratepayers Association,” Jooste wrote. Lepheane has not answered her. Jooste says the MRA had a meeting with Matiro Mogopodi, director of community services, on Sunday, 28 February. “Mogopodi terminated the meeting halfway through. When we confronted her with service delivery failure, she became very flustered and could not answer us,” says Jooste. “It is interesting that Mogopodi told us during the meeting that everyone (this includes the media, the Ratepayers Association, the DA and AfriForum) is coming down on them. I personally don’t think they know which way to go anymore.” ) Vista attempted to get comment from the municipality. The municipal manager’s cellphone is unavailable, and the spokesperson is out of town.

Robbery foiled Five in court after highspeed chase Teboho Setena FIVE suspected armed robbers that were expected to appear in the Odendaalsrus Magistrate’s Court yesterday (09/03) in connection with a foiled armed robbery in Welkom are not police officers, as was incorrectly stated in the media. The incorrect fact pertains to investigations by the police in the town of Welkom, as well as in Umlazi, a township on the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal. Brig. Hangwani Mulaudzi, the Hawks spokesperson, clarified that the five armed suspects were not members of the police. The five would-be armed robbers, aged between 33 and 48, face charges of conspiracy to commit armed robbery,

murder police officers, the possession of fire arms and ammunition, as well as the possession of counterfeit money. The Hawks and the police arrested the suspects after a high-speed chase on the R34 road, passing the Riebeeckstad suburb in Welkom and connecting the Kutlwanong township (Odendaalsrus) and Kroonstad. Mulaudzi said two suspects (36 and 42) were injured during the dramatic bust, while the other three were unharmed. He said the injured suspects were admitted to an undisclosed hospital, while the uninjured trio (33, 33 and 47) were taken into custody. “The suspects were pursued and by then we knew that we were dealing with dangerous criminals, conspiring to commit an

armed robbery,” said Mulaudzi. He said the police managed to confiscate two firearms (a revolver and a pistol), ammunition and five bags full of counterfeit money. The police also seized two silver vehicles with Free State registration numbers – a BMW 320 E and a Volkswagen Golf 5 – that the suspects were travelling in. Mulaudzi said further investigation will be conducted into the guns, counterfeit money and the two vehicles used by the suspects. During the chase, the suspects tried to dispose of the bags of counterfeit money, throwing it out of the window of one of the two cars they were travelling in. The value of the counterfeit money could not be disclosed.

Bongani red ’n lewe LINDA PRETORIUS, Goudveld: OP Saterdag 2 Januarie het my man, Danie, ’n hewige pyn in sy bors gekry terwyl hy by die werk was. Omdat ons geen siekefonds het nie, is besluit om hom Virginia-hospitaal toe te stuur vir noodbehandeling. By die Virginia-hospitaal is ’n EKG gedoen en vasgestel dat dit wel sy hart is. Hy is aangesê om na die Bongani-hospitaal te gaan, omdat hulle nie die toerusting vir die noodgeval het nie. Onmiddellik begin die berigte in koerante en die gerugte wat mens by ander hoor, deur jou gedagtes flits en angs pak jou beet. Danie is per ambulans na die Bonganihospitaal geneem en het by ongevalle gewag terwyl ’n EKG weer eens gedoen is. Ná wat soos ure gevoel het, het hulle vir Danie na die hoësorgeenheid geneem. Dit het gevoel of ons in ’n heel ander hospitaal is. Bongani se hoësorgeenheid is in ons oë uitstekend! Daar is kort-kort dokters wat na die pasiënte omsien en die personeel is goed opgelei. Die Universitas-hospitaal in Bloemfontein is gekontak, wat voorgestel het Danie moet eers ’n spesifieke medikasie ontvang wat die hart-are sal oopmaak. Dit is onmiddellik toegedien. Die personeel het vir Danie dopgehou en ys aangedra, omdat dit baie warm was, en sodra hy van pyn gekla het, het hy ’n morfien-inspuiting gekry. Hulle het gesorg dat hy so gemaklik moontlik is. Danie sou die Sondag per ambulans na die Universitas-hospitaal in Bloemfontein gaan, maar Sondagoggend het X-straalfoto’s van sy longe infeksie gewys. Hulle het onmiddellik antibiotika begin toedien sodat die infeksie kon opklaar en hy Bloemfontein toe kon gaan. Daardie Sondagnag het alles vererger. Deur die nag het sy hart twee maal gaan staan en die personeel van die Bongani-

hospitaal het hom met resussitasie gered. Ná die tweede keer wat sy hart gaan staan het, het hulle hom aan ’n lewensondersteuningsmasjien gekoppel. Maandagoggend vroeg het een van die dokters gereël dat hy per ambulans na Bloemfontein toe gaan. Die dokters het besluit dat hy in so ’n kritieke toestand is dat dit te lank sal neem om hom per ambulans te neem. Hulle het ’n helikopter gereël om hom soontoe te vervoer. Die helikopterpersoneel het my onmiddellik in kennis gestel toe hy in Bloemfontein by die teater opgedaag het. ’n Noodoperasie is gedoen en Danie se hart is besig om ná die vreeslike gebeurtenis aan te sterk. Terwyl ons vir die helikopter gewag het, het personeellede van die Bongani-hospitaal na my gekom en my bemoedig, drukkies gegee en dinge gesê soos: “He is a fighter, you’ll see, when he gets to Bloemfontein, everything will be okay.” Die suster by die Universitas-hospitaal het gevra van watter hospitaal hy gekom het en het gesê: “They did a great job looking after your husband, because normally when someone crashes more than twice, they don’t make it to this hospital alive.” Ons waardeer alles wat die personeel van die hoësorgeenheid by die Bonganihospitaal vir ons gedoen het en wil baie dankie sê aan elkeen daar. ) Indien dit nog nie gedoen is nie, wil ons ook vra dat die lugreëling by die hoësorgeenheid van die Bongani-hospitaal herstel word. Dit sal dit vir die personeel en die pasiënte meer gerieflik maak.

Wees versigtig by OTM GUS BERNHARDT, Riebeeckstad: EK wil met hierdie skrywe net mense waarsku om paraat en oplettend te wees met ontrekking van geld by OTMs. My vrou het Woensdag (17/02) om en by 09:00 by die Nedbank OTM in Craiblaan, Riebeeckstad, geld gaan trek. Sy het R1 000 aangevra, maar het blykbaar op die skerm ’n boodskap gekry dat sy ’n groter bedrag moet trek. Aangesien sy onseker was van die nuwe instruksie het sy die transaksie gekanseleer. Op daardie oomblik was daar ’n netjies geklede swart man reg langs haar en het haar meegedeel dat daardie betrokke OTM foutief is en het aangebied om haar te help met die onttrekking. Sy het beleefd nee

dankie gesê en die man het toe geloop en in ’n wagtende motor geklim en haastig weggery. Toe my vrou weer omdraai was haar kaart weg. Sy het eers gedink die OTM het dit weer ingetrek, maar dit was toe gesteel. Sy het dadelik vir Nedbank gebel en die diefstal aangemeld en gevra die kaart moet gekansseleer word. Terwyl sy op die foon was met Nedbank het die SMSe deurgekom dat eers R1 500 en toe dadelik daarna nog R500 getrek is by die ABSAOTM langs Spar in McCleanstraat, Riebeeckstad. Hoe die skelms daardie boodskap op die Nedbank OTM se skerm gekry het, en hoe hulle my vrou se geheime nommer gekry het, sal vir my altyd ’n raaisel wees. Wees versigtig.

Holes Department digs deeper JOHAN DE LANGE, Welkom: I WANT to assure Cllr Piet Botha of my full and unqualified support for his letter in the latest Vista. It is no secret that I have criticised this “niemandsraad” for years now as a result of their intentional deliberateness. For instance – how can you send a team of plumbers to repair a pipe without giving them the necessary spare parts to complete the job? As if that is not enough, the work gets so shoddily done that it must be repeated the very next day. To put the cherry on top of the cake is that the very same hole, dug into a part of the tarmac, is still open after two weeks. Mr Municipal Manager, if this is not incompetence by your City Engineers Department, then I would like to know what is. When the general public phones your people, the phone keeps on ringing or it always rings engaged. Your so-called special services line has been inoperative for years now. I am renaming the City Engineers Department to the Holes Department, because the only thing they do well is to dig them. It is of course a known fact that water is wasted by the megalitre into the storm water drain as a result of your Holes Department’s incompetence. One cannot complain about service delivery. There is none in existence to complain about, as this example will clearly show. For two months now, I received my services account by e-mail, and strange as it may seem, quite timeously, before the end of the month. The last one reached me on Saturday, 5 March. Of course it was paid long before

then. Mr Municipal Manager, is this how your staff operates? Is this competence? What happens to the money paid to the council by regular payers like myself? Why did the situation deteriorate to the state where the council owes Eskom almost R800 million and R1,45 billion to Sedibeng water? If you still do not know, Mr Municipal Manager, then let me enlighten you: If your Holes Department does their job right the first time, it would go a long and cost-saving way, rather than to do it a second time, thus halving your costs. If residents and businesses receive their services accounts timeously, they will be more inclined to pay them. Of course you will find the odd non-payer, then you should do what the law prescribes. What has your council done to promote industrial settlement in Welkom? Permit me to enlighten you, sir: Absolutely – and I mean absolutely – nothing. In case you have not noticed, the mines are scaling down their activities. Mr Municipal Manager, I recommend to you that your council stop, with immediate effect, your wasteful expenditure and start working on your Eskom and Sedibeng accounts. If you do not, then pretty soon the only “dark force” that will fall upon us will be when Eskom cuts the power supply to the city. The biggest drought will be when Sedibeng closes the main water supply valve. So, Mr Municipal Manager, stop making empty threats, and wasting even more money by doing so. Rather get your staff to do what they ought to do.

Shocked by neglected mom, son GEORGE THERESA POLLASTRI: I AM reacting with outrage over the neglect and suffering of the blind mother, Sharon, and her disabled son, Selwyn, of Bronville in Welkom. This breaks my heart to think that family members can abuse these people by taking their government pensions every month.

I pray the welfare will step in and put them into better accommodation. It is a disgrace that the family members can let them starve to death. Jesus, I pray for You to please intervene and to find better accommodation for them so that they can have a quality of life with no abuse from family members. Maybe the Charlotte Moll Haven in Virginia can take them in.

Telefoonnommers lui net PETRO VAN DER WESTHUIZEN, Odendaalsrus: WIL dit net onder julle aandag bring dat Matjhabeng, Odendaalsrus, glad nie hulle telefone antwoord nie, al van verlede week Donderdag af. Ek skakel hierdie nommers:

Residents take a stand

VENTERSBURG community members decided to stand up against crime by initiating a neighbourhood watch in Sector 1 of the town. This follows a spate of house-breakings in their neighbourhood. According to the Station Commander of the Ventersburg SAPS, Capt. TJ Phakoe, the crimes in Sector 1 affect the Central Business District (CBD), as businesses are targeted. “Residences are also not spared,” he said. “This neighbourhood watch initiative is a step in the right direction, because since its inception in November last year, we experienced a sharp

decline in crime. We appreciate their assistance in the fight against crime, as they do both foot and vehicle patrols,” said Capt. Phakoe. This neighbourhood watch is currently operating with an interim steering committee chaired by Zelda Marx. She pointed out that since they started conducting community patrols, they feel their community is becoming safer. Keith Rhode, also a member of the committee, added that they were perturbed by the crime they faced in their town. “Now I can, without a doubt, say crime is declining. I have seen the crime report statistics of our community. This shows

that we must also do our part as community members. All the work cannot be done by police members only. We want to help by being the ears and eyes of the police to get rid of crime in our community,” said Rhode. Capt. Phakoe said the police members will not relax, but will be available to patrol with the neighbourhood watch. “Our communication channels will be open to attend to any crime-related incidents you encounter during your patrols. “I hope this partnership will be sustained to make Ventersburg one of the towns in South Africa where people will be safe and feel safe,” concluded Capt. Phakoe.

Foto’s toon skokkende verval DENISE JOOSTE, Welkom: EK verwys na Antoinette Schoeman se brief “Goudveld verval en word ’n rommelhoop”. Wat Antoinette omtrent die Goudveld skryf, is ’n onderbeklemtoning. Woorde kan nie beskryf wat in ons stad en omgewing aan die gang is nie. Dit lyk egter asof hierdie toestand slegs vir enkele inwoners ’n saak van erns is, want minder as ’n handvol mense het die Belastingbetalersvereniging se jaarvergadering bygewoon. Kennisgewings van die vergadering is in Vista geplaas en by inkopiesentrums opgeplak. Erger nog, almal kla, maar niemand wil daarby betrokke raak om hierdie verval aan te spreek nie. Elkeen wag vir ’n ander een om “iets te doen”. Wel, ek hét verlede jaar “iets gedoen”. Aangesien die munisipale klagtekantoor net ’n verwysingsnommer gee met die aanmeld van ’n pro-

B L

riewe etters

POSBUS /P.O. BOX 1027 WELKOM 9460

bleem (dit is nou indien die telefoon enigsins beantwoord word) en daarna dan net mooi niks gebeur nie, het die Belastingbetalersvereniging ’n e-pos-klagteforum geskep waarby inwoners klagtes kan aanmeld, wat dan met die onderskeie departemente van die munisipaliteit aangepak word. Heelwat sukses is só bereik, maar sedert die begin van die jaar is daar bitter min reaksie van die munisipaliteit se kant om klagtes wat ingedien word, aan te spreek. Ons geduld is baie na aan op. Daar is gelukkig ander weë wat gevolg kan word om die munisipaliteit tot verantwoording te roep en die Belastingbetalersvereniging gaan dit nou volg en deurvoer.

Om dit te doen het ons dringend hulp nodig. Daarom vra ek vir Antoinette (en ander inwoners) baie mooi: Kom help my. Kontak my deur e-pos te stuur na welkomroadswater@gmail.com NS. Hierby is foto’s wat wys hoe lyk ons stad. Daar is so te sê nie ’n straat wat sonder ’n probleem is nie, en dan wei die beeste sommer so in ons woonbuurte. Gate wat gegrawe word om waterlekke reg te maak, word net so in die strate en die sypaadjies gelos, vir maande tot jare lank. Later groei bome en bosse daaroor. Stormwaterslote is deur stukkende sementblokke toegeval. Teer wat opgekap is om waterlekke te herstel, word net so in enorme hope op die sypaadjies gelos. Ek het onlangs in my motor geklim en foto’s langs die pad geneem soos ek ry. Ek kon meer as 100 foto’s in die bestek van 25 km neem. Dit is iets verskrikliks.

Wat is my regte wanneer ek in 'n motorongeluk beseer is?

Min dinge in die lewe is so traumaties soos om te beseer te word tydens 'n ongeluk. Het jy geweet … Indien jy of 'n geliefde beseer is in 'n motorongeluk (behalwe wanneer die bestuurder die oorsaak van die ongeluk was), of indien jy 'n afhanklike is van 'n oorlede padongelukslaggoffer, kan jy moontlik 'n eis teen die Padongelukkefonds indien. Die Padongelukkefonds is 'n openbare entiteit wat befonds word deur 'n brandstofheffing wat by die prys van petrol en diesel ingesluit is. Die doel van die Padongelukkefonds is om te vergoed vir verlies of skade as gevolg van ligaamlike beserings weens die nalatige bestuur van 'n voertuig op Suid-Afrikaanse paaie.

Ná hoe lank moet ek 'n eis indien? Indien die identiteit van die oortrede bestuurder of eienaar van die voertuig bekend is, moet die eis binne drie jaar vavaf die datum van die ongeluk ingedien word. Dít is nie van toepassing by die eis van 'n minderjarige nie. Indien die identiteit van die persoon onbekend is, moet die eis binne twee jaar ingedien word.

Waarvoor kan ek eis? 'n Eis kan uit die volgende bestaan: • Gelede en toekomstige hospital-en mediese uitgawes • Gelede en toekomstige verlies van inkomste • Algemene skadevergoeding vir pyn , lyding en verlies van lewensgenietinge. • Gelede en toekomstige verlies van onderhoud in die geval van die afhanklike van 'n oorlede slagoffer • Begrafnisuitgawes

Kleurvolle kuns bied goue hoop DIE kunstige Odendaals. Van links is Jana, ouma Elsje en Willem.

Foto’s: Molly Green

Molly Green TOT twee jaar gelede was Willem Odendaal (9) ’n sportmal lewenslustige seuntjie. Hy het met oorgawe rugby en krieket gespeel en geswem. Nou moet hy langs die sportveld sit en telling hou. Hy mag darem swem. Dié woelige knapie is in 2014 met Perthes se siekte gediagnoseer en sy een heup het begin verkrummel. Sy ma, Linda, sê Willem het gekla oor pyn in sy lies en bo-been. Hy was eers by ’n fisioterapeut en toe by ’n spesialis. Daar is toe vasgestel hy het Perthes se siekte. Die bloedtoevoer na sy heup was afgesny en die are het platgeval. Hy is toe geopereer om penne in te sit en hy was vir ’n geruime tyd bedlêend. Die penne sal in September uitgehaal word. Aanvanklik moes hy met ’n rystoel en later met krukke oor die weg kom. Nou kan hy loop. “Ek hoop om vanjaar weer krieket te kan speel,” sê ’n baie positiewe Willem. Toe Willem, weens die operasie en die herstelproses, ’n baie geïsoleerde bestaan gevoer het, het sy ouma, Elsje Odendaal, ’n plan gemaak. Sy het vir Willem en sy sussie, Jana (8), by kunsklasse betrek. “Dit was vir my belangrik dat Willem sy hande moet gebruik,” sê Elsje. Dié broer en suster se kunswerke is vir die jaarlikse Santam-kinderkunskompetisie ingeskryf. Hulle het albei die afgelope twee jaar goue medaljes in dié kompetisie met hul kunswerke gewen.

VAN die kunswerke deur jong Willem Odendaal. Hy beskou hierdie as van sy gunstelinge.

Begraafplaas opgeknap BESOEKERS aan Hennenman se begraafplaas sal die verskil dadelik opmerk. Die ou geroeste naambord is die afgelope week met hierdie nuwe naambord en kruis vervang. Dié werk is die inisiatief van ’n groepie inwoners, Basie Janse van Nieuwenhuysen, Marius en Gawie Smit en Phillip Mollentze. “Hierdie voorbeeld van hoe om op ’n opbouende manier ’n verskil in ons eie omgewing te maak, dien as aanmoediging vir ons almal. Ons het hierdie gesindheid juis nodig in ’n tyd wat dikwels gekenmerk word deur verval, agteruitgang en vernietiging. Hennenman se gemeenskap spreek hul dank uit teenoor hierdie groepie inwoners, asook teenoor die span munisipale werkers wat sorg dat die begraafplaas altyd netjies en goed versorg is,” sê ds. Hannes Haggard. Foto: Verskaf

(Uit)stappie na Sentinel Lientjie Barnard DIE dag lange staptog na die hoë Sentinelpiek (3 165 m) in die Koninklike Natalse Nasionale Park is ’n uitstappie wat ’n mens met die genoegdoening van ’n behoorlike wegbreek laat. Behalwe dat die vars bergwind wollerige gedagtes suiwer en droë kantooroë kan ontspan deur kartelende bergsilhoeëtte nader te trek, is dit ook goed om ’n slag agter te kom hoe maklik die asempie kan jaag en die beenspiere protesteer. Saam met die Eastern Buttress, Devil’s Tooth en Inner Tower is die Sentinelpiek deel van die dramatiese Drakensberg-amfiteater. Hier strek golwende groen grasvelde Z waar ’n mens vir Heidi saam met Peter en sy trop bokke kan sien huppel Z in nimmereindigende valleie. Die grasvelde se kleur wissel saam met die seisoen en in die herfs en winter (wanneer dit nie met sneeu bedek is nie) verander die groen na goud en bruin. ’n Ongelooflike hoeveelheid blomme in bykans elke kleur speel plesierig saam met die wuiwende gras in die wind. Hoewel dié deel eerder vir sy pragtige berge bekend is, kan kleiner boksoorte en verskeie voëlsoorte ook gesien word. Hemelhoë kranse, duiselingwekkende afgronde en uitsigte op onder meer die Fika Patso-dam maak dié uitstappie verder die moeite werd. Nie dat dit enigsins moeite is nie. Om dié dagroete te stap, is geen vooraf besprekings nodig nie. Die belangrikste kan dalk wees om die voertuig se neus in die regte rigting te kry. Ons het van Clarens deur Phuthaditjhaba na die Witsieshoekpas (2 270 m) gery, wat opsigself stop-en-neem-foto’s werd is. Vroeg op dié roete is ’n

Volgens Willie en Sandra Olivier se boek, Ontdek die Natuurwonders van Suid-Afrika, is die Witsieshoekpas een van die hoogste paaie in Suid-Afrika wat met ’n sedanmotor begaanbaar is. Groot gedeeltes van dié pad is met plaveistene uitgelê. Hier vurk die pad regs na die parkeerterrein – sowat 2 540 m bo seevlak – wat verdwerg onder die Sentinelpiek

lê. Dagbesoekersgeld word hier betaal om die roete te stap. Hoe vinnig of stadig die ongeveer 3 km na die twee bekende 30 m hoë kettinglere gestap word, is elkeen se eie keuse. Sommige stappers is mos pure haas waarvan ’n mens net hakskene sien soos hulle om die draaie wegwip. Ander skilpad weer ’n staproete vir ure aaneen. Die roete bestaan uit ’n goeie kombinasie van behoorlik klim, en ook heelwat gelyke pad met

dramatiese afgronde skaars ’n stapskoen se breedte van jou voettrap af. Die pad word nie aangedui nie, maar soveel vorige stapskoene het verseker dat die roete geensins onduidelik is nie. Hier en daar op die roete moet bene ’n bietjie ekstra gerek word om oor rotse te klouter. ’n Mens kan nie anders as om tot stilstand te kom en die stilte en die natuurskoon te absorbeer nie, en natuurlik ’n sluk water of stukkie energie-iets in te neem

nie. Met so ’n ruskansie, wanneer ’n mens omdraai om te kyk waar jy vandaan kom, lê die parkeerterrein verspotklein doer onder. Dit is eers dan wanneer ’n mens besef hoe hoog reeds geklim is. Hoeveel keer ’n mens ook al stop en omkyk, jou oë raak nie moeg om oor die ongelooflike bergprag te streel nie. Om tot bo-op die plato te kom moet die berugte kettinglere aangedurf word. (Tensy ’n mens ongeveer ’n kilometer voor die lere die alternatiewe roete via The Gully klim.) Aangesien die stoeptrappies by die kombuisdeur my in angssweet laat uitslaan, en ek plek-plek op die roete eerder wou kruip omdat die afgronde my so aftrek, het ek besluit om nie die kettinglere aan te durf nie. Die dag wat ons die roete gestap het, was daar heelwat stappers en by die kettinglere moes die dapperes hul beurt afwag om op of af te klim. My drie stapgenote was van die dapperes en hulle het soos warmgemaakte akkedisse teen die leer opgeskarrel sonder enige respekte vir hoogtes. Ek het gedink twee kettinglere beteken die twee wat langs mekaar hang. Maar wanneer die eerste leer oorwin is, hang daar nog een van 30 m om baas te raak. Wanneer albei lere geklim is, is ’n mens bo-op die plato en op die rand van die Amfiteater waar die Tugelarivier benede na valleie stort. Afhangend van hoe koud dit bo-op die plato is en hoeveel tyd ’n mens tot jou beskikking het, kan heelwat tyd hier bestee word. Dit is nie seker in watter jaar die kettinglere aangebring is nie. Om dié ongelooflike bergprag as stappers te geniet, is egter nie nuut nie. Volgens T.V. Bulpin se boek, Discovering Southern Africa, is dit aangeteken dat bergklimklubs tot so ver terug as 1908 reeds georganiseerde staptoere in die gebied onderneem het.

Donderdag 10 Maart 2016 Kort voor die jaarlikse ski-seisoen het JENS FRIIS sy motor gepak en deur die noorde van Lesotho gery. SOU ’n sondvloed Suidelike Afrika tref, sal jy in Lesotho van die laastes wees om te sterf. Dit is immers die land waarvan die laagste punt bo seespieël die hoogste ter wêreld is. Jy is gereeld na aan jou dood, want hoewel die toestand van die teerpaaie goed is, is daar weinig wat gelyk en reguit is. Die afgronde is loodreg. Asof in die Alpe, lei ingenieurswonders oor berge van 3 000 m. My naweekplan was aanvanklik om ’n vriend die Katsedam te gaan wys, maar twee dae voor die tyd prikkel die Dak van Afrika-roete my. Boonop sal dit ons lei na die noordooste – ’n deel wat ek nog nie gesien het nie. Tydens my kuiertjies in ons buurland is dit telkens vir my opvallend hoe min toeriste daar in Lesotho is. Die uitstekende paaie weens die Lesotho-Hooglandwaterprojek het nog nie dié landjie blootgelê nie. En dalk is dit goed, want só bly Lesotho een van Afrika se onontdekte juwele – juis vanweë sy afgesonderdheid. Ver in die berge kyk die inwoners steeds op as ’n motor verbykom. Ons hou stil sodat ’n span osse kan verbygaan. So ook toe ’n groep seuns by ’n inisiasieskool oor die pad stap. Van die kenmerkende spitsvormige grashoede is min te sien; van wolkomberse wel, maar dis minder kleurvol as dié in prentjies. Vroeër die dag het ons die Ficksburgse grenspos vroegmiddag bereik. Dit is Vrydag en bésig. ’n Kind toon entrepreneurskap deur gereed te staan met ’n pen. As jy dit gebruik om ’n paspoortvormpie in te vul, moet jy 50c opdok. Die pad lei noordoos tot by ButhaButhe en van daar oos deur die voetheuwels van die Malutiberge. Soms wonder jy of dit die regte pad is, want padtekens ontbreek feitlik deurgaans. Nonne, skooltjies en donkies met sakke meel op hul rûe flits verby. Die mense groet en wuif oral. Ek koop ’n Coke en skyfies om die honger te verdryf. Die kassiere gee Suid-Afrikaanse kleingeld en sê “dankie” toe sy hoor ons praat Afrikaans. As kinders die motor gewaar, nael hulle bakhand na die pad. “Sweets!” roep hul onophoudelik. Keer op keer hol hulle só. Hoeveel keer stop verbygangers dan om lekkers uit te deel? Die seuntjies dra graag gumboots en helms – die invloed onmiskenbaar van pa’s op Gautengse en

Kyk mooi waar jy ry. Diere is 'n algemene probleem op die pragtige Lesotho se paaie. Vrystaatse myne. Hul ma’s bewerk elke duim vrugbare grond. As daar ’n gelykte is, word dit gebruik. Tog lyk die oes maar power. In die Motengpas (2 840 m) hou ons stil. Die landskap het ’n sagte barheid. Bokklokke beier. Van hier af daal die pad neer na die Malibamatso-vallei waar dit veel droër is. Tydens dié laaste 8 km is daar weinig mense of diere te sien. Die son het reeds agter die berg gesak toe ons by die New Oxbow Lodge indraai. Oxbow verwys na ’n boog wat ’n nabygeleë randjie maak. Dié wêreld is veral gewild as die sneeu val. Dan kom mense van heinde en verre. Behalwe ski is hier ook San-tekeninge, is dit ideaal vir 4x4-geesdriftiges en is die bergstrome ryk aan forel.

The place that dried up Lientjie Barnard TALKING about the Kalahari is quite a broad concept, since the Kalahari stretches over nine countries and covers an area of 1,2 million km2 of central Southern Africa. The Kalahari is the world’s largest continuous mantle of sand, and a great part of the Northern Cape is covered, 84% of Botswana, a big part of Namibia and Angola, with sand fingers stretching into Zimbabwe, Zambia, Zaïre, Congo and Gabon. Although the Kalahari hosts a variety of desert-like sand dunes, the biggest part of it is covered by vegetation, ranging from excessive swamp-lands and forests to park-like landscapes and dry sand veld. Mostly hidden under vegetation, the notorious Kalahari sand is an average of 6 m up to a maximum of 150 m deep. The Kalahari has a low rain fall, but not low enough to be considered a desert, for which the criteria is an average of 60 to 100 mm of rain a year. In the biggest part of the Kalahari there is no open water and no running rivers, with only scattered ephemeral pans during the rainy season. The word “Kalahari” is derived from the African word “Makgalakgadi” which means the place that dried up. The ancient rivers and lakes had dried up indeed and left behind only broad and empty valleys. The Northern Cape is blessed with the Orange River, meandering like a green snake across the seemingly barren wasteland. ) Source: Scenic Wonders of Southern Africa by TV Bulpin.

Werd om te weet voordat jy gaan ) Beste tyd om te besoek: Vir ski is die beste tyd wanneer dit hoogwinter is, dus Julie en Augustus. Die weer by Oxbow kan binne minute drasties verander. Omdat dit hoër as die boomsoom is, word dit tot -20°C. Neem selfs in die somer iets warm saam, want dit kan koel word saans. Tussen Oktober en April val 85% van Lesotho se reën. Digte mis kan tot laatoggend voorkom. Nietemin spog Lesotho jaarliks met meer as 300 sonskyndae. ) Grensposte: Suid-Afrikaners het geen visum nodig nie, maar

wel ’n paspoort. Ons het die personeel flink en vriendelik ervaar. Die kleiner grensposte sluit so vroeg as 16:00. ) Tariewe: In Lesotho het baie items nie vasgestelde pryse nie. Die loti is ewe veel werd as die rand, wat oral aanvaar word. Swaziland, Namibië, Suid-Afrika en Lesotho vorm ’n gemeenskaplike monetêre gebied. Kredietkaarte word selde in die platteland aanvaar. ) Toegangsroetes: Volgens die AA is daar sowat 900 km teerpad in hierdie land, wat so groot

soos België is. ’n Snelheidsperk van 60 tot 80 km/h geld op die meeste paaie – nie dat dit regtig nodig is nie, want dit kan selde vinniger. Steiltes en draaie is hier vele van. Wees ook op die uitkyk vir esels, mense, bokke en hoenders. Taxi’s steek graag teen steil hoogtes verby. Die teeroppervlak na Oxbow is uitstekend. ’n Gewone motor sal jou sonder enige probleme daar kan bring. Petrol en diesel is ’n paar sent duurder as in Suid-Afrika, en daar is gewoonlik brandstof in die distrikshoofdorpe.

Augrabies ryk aan legendes Lientjie Barnard AUGRABIES, die waterval waar die Oranjerivier met ’n groot geraas in ’n diep ravyn neerstort, is ryk aan legendes. Na bewering lê die wêreld se grootste hoop diamante in die maalkolk en reënboogagtige poel reg onder die hoofval. Daar is glo ’n baie groot waterslang wat die diamante jaloers bewaak. Soms maak dié slang selfs sy verskyning elders in die rivier, met ’n yslike groot diamant op sy voorkop om jong meisies te lok. Vroeër jare het die Namas verkies om van die waterval weg te bly. Hulle het in vrees gelewe vir dié slang wat daar bly, wat mense en diere met sy glimmende skubbe in die poel inlok en hulle dan met vreugde verorber. ’n Ander legende beweer dat daar meermanne onder die hoofval van Augrabies bly. Dié meermanne is glo wit met lang swart hare, met arms en bene én ’n visstert. Hulle is glo baie gevaarlik en kan uit die rivier loop. Die meermanne is altyd op soek na mense wat swem of visvang om hulle te ontvoer. Ná die ontvoering trou die meermanne met die ontvoerdes,

waarna hulle in droë ondergrondse huise bly waar likkewane die huisbediendes is. Die ou Namas vertel van ’n vrou wat deur ’n toordokter gered is, ’n maand nadat sy met ’n meerman getroud is. Sy moes glo eet wat hy eet – modder en paddas. Dié legendes is duidelik daarop gemik om veral kinders van die gevaar van die rivier te leer. Ook ons, wat van kinderdae af by Oupa-en-Ouma-Upington langs die Oranjerivier gekuier het, is ingelig oor die waterslang en ons was te bang om selfs ons tone in die water te druk. Jare gelede was daar krokodille in die Oranjerivier en dit kan verklaar waarom mense spoorloos langs die rivier kon verdwyn. En daar is werklik monsters in die Oranjerivier – monsteragtige groot babers wat glo tot 2 m lank is. Die babers kan hulself oor droë kolle in die rivierbedding na ’n volgende waterpoel wikkel. Sedert die amptelike stigting van die park het daar al 22 mense in die ravyn by die hoofval geval. Slegs twee het oorleef. ) Bron: Rediscovering South Africa: A Wayward Guide deur Stephen Haw, Andrew Unsworth en Heather Robertson.

A GROUP of first-year nursing students enrolled at the Free State School of Nursing (FSSN) at the Welkom campus opened their hearts to 60 learners of the Moremaphofu Primary School. This group of student nurses donated brand new uniforms to the learners, bringing smiles to their faces. The donation of these uniforms is a result of a partnership with the private sector. The students’ initiative forms part of first-year student nurses’ community programme which prepares them for a life-long role in the community. The students identified different programmes to fulfil the assignment of the prescribed community programme. The current group of students, 22 in total, decided on a school uniform initiative for needy learners attending the Moremaphofu Primary School. Phakamile Djalivani, the students’ spokesperson, said the uniform project was ideal to enable them to get involved in the community. He said everyone in the group participated in the project to make it a success. Fulata Mdluli, lecturer at the institute, said the community programme was significant for the practical experience of the students and for them to have a clear understanding of their role in the community as nurses. This group of students are enrolled for a two-year nursing programme at the FSSN Welkom campus. They are expected to graduate in 2018 if they successfully complete the programme.

School celebrates reading Marti Will THE Dr MG Mngoma Primary School in Thabong celebrated World Reading Day. Learners from gr. 3 to gr. 7 took part, as well as members of the Library Committee. The reading day activities were led by Thabiso Edgar Machitje, Mosele Agnes Rasumyane, Mmatlou Magdeline Majoe and Pulen Rebecca Sekhotho, teachers at the school. The event was run by the learners themselves. The programme director was Sentle Maile, a gr. 7 learner. The purpose of the day was explained by Sentle Amohelang (gr. 7). She said that on

this day, reading aloud was celebrated throughout the whole world. She said that the reading habit should be instilled at a young age. Yonela Tsatsa (gr. 7A) did the vote of thanks. Machitje told the parents that they would again be involved in the reading clubs at the school. He emphasised the importance of teachers and parents encouraging children to read. He spoke of the six strategies which could be used to build an outstanding reading school. These include supporting learners, teaching the reading curriculum, engaging parents, developing a reading environment, targeting resources and celebrating reading.

ELZANDRI NORTJE

‘Volg jou drome’

ELZANDRI NORTJE (11), ’n gr. 6-leerling aan die Laerskool Naudeville, is gekies as Vista en SuperSport Let’s Play se Sportster van die Maand vir Februarie. Dit is danksy haar puik prestasies in atletiek, tennis, hokkie, netbal, krieket en landloop, asook haar deelname aan tweekamp. Elzandi is in 2015 op die Laerskool Naudeville se prysuitdeling as die beste senior sportmeisie, asook die mees veelsydige senior sportmeisie, aangewys. Sy het verlede jaar vir die skool se eerste hokkie- en tennisspan gespeel. Sy het ook netbal en krieket vir die skool se o.11A-spanne gespeel. Elzandi is in 2015 vir die Lejweleputswa-landloopspan gekies, asook die Lejweleputswa- o.12-hokkiespan en die Noord-Vrystaat- o.12A-tennisspan. Sy is ’n bedrewe krieketspeler en is die enigste meisie wat in 2015 vir die Lejweleputswa- o.11A-streekkrieketspan gekies is. Sy is vanjaar eerste op die GoudSand-suid-tennisranglys vir o.12. Op die Goudveld-suid-soneatletiekbyeenkoms het sy ’n tweede plek in spiesgooi behaal, asook in die 1 200 m. Sy is ook vir die Noord-Vrystaato.13B hokkiespan gekies. Elzandri is in die o.13-winteroefengroep vir die huidige krieketseisoen ingesluit en sy speel o.12A-netbal vir die skool. Sy speel ook Saterdag (12/03) vir Noord-Vrystaat se senior span teen die Vaaldriehoek tennis in die o.35-ouderdomsgroep. Elzandri se leuse is: “Werk hard, volg jou drome en wees die beste wat jy kan wees, maar die belangrikste is, bly altyd nederig.” Meer oor Let’s Play SuperSport het groot probleme opgemerk wat die ontwikkeling van kinders aanbetref, omdat vaardighede wat deur speel, liggaamlike opvoeding en sport geleer word, ernstig ontbreek het. Met dié insig is die Let’s Play-projek in November 2005 gestig – met die doel om bewustheid van die maatskaplike situasie te verhoog en speel, fisieke aktiwiteit en sport in skole aan te moedig. Vir meer inligting kontak Lynne of Juanré by Z PR by 051-522-9574, of stuur e-pos na supersport@zpr.co.za.

His record was a continuation of excellence that earned him gold medals on zone and district level. Mpeno obtained 1st place on both zone and district levels, and in the regional in Sasolburg and provincial final in Bloemfontein, she came 5th in the 1 200 m. Ntseke ended 1st at the zone event and 4th at district and regional level. She improved at the provincial event in Bloemfontein, ending 3rd in the 1 500 m walk.

DURING the opening round of the South African Rally Championship held at the Phakisa Freeway outside of Welkom this past weekend, Ernie van der Walt and codriver Greg Godrich claimed their first-ever stage win and Van der Walt’s best result to date. They ended fourth overall in their Vecto Petroleum Toyota Yaris S2000, just six seconds behind the South African champion. Van der Walt, who hails from Hoopstad, was cheered to the rafters by friends and family as they stormed through the 11-stage event. This was the first time that the series has been to the Free State in six years. Leeroy Poulter and Elvéne Coetzee claimed a commanding 18-second victory on the opening. Winning 6 of the 11 stages, the 2015 championship runnersup led home a Toyota Gazoo Racing SA 1-2, with team-mates Giniel de Villiers and Carolyn Swan ending in a comfortable second overall. The newly-liveried Yaris S2000 did not miss a beat all weekend. Photo: David Ledbitter

Trophy battle heats up 1kg Cheddarmelt Steak with Chips

THE SuperGP Champion riders are expected at the showdown at the Phakisa Freeway. Molema Mochudi THE Phakisa Freeway will be the centre of attention with this year’s national SuperGP Champions Trophy event on Saturday (12/03). This is the second round of the series for 2016, with the opening held at the Red Star Raceway. Top riders will be vying for stakes in the three categories Super Junior, SuperMasters and Super600. Clint Seller (NeoLife Africa Yamaha R1) will be hoping to atone for his failure to defend his SuperGP title after crashing in race one at the Red Star Raceway last month and leaving without points. Mathew Scholtz capitalised on Seller’s misfortunes to secure points and he now leads with 50 points. Anthony Shelley (Fercor/Tarpave/Supreme Yamaha R1) finished twice in second place and is expected to be in the leading bunch at Phakisa. Another character to watch for is Daryn Upton, with his S1000RR. He was the best in the BMW squad. Michael White (Consortium Shipping Yamaha R1) impressed on debut in the premier class, getting a podium position in his second race. Lance Isaacs (LIR BMW S1000RR) has to contend with the dual role of rider and team manager. The veteran’s improved performance in the second race boosted his confidence for Saturday’s leg. Brent Harran led the Kawasaki challenge at Red Star against the odds to tie for sixth place on the log with Nicolas Grobler (BMW S1000RR) and AJ Venter on the Uncle Andy Racing Suzuki GSXR 1000. The SuperMasters Inter-provincial Challenge sees Lance Isaacs heading the championship log. Teammate Justin Gillesen (LIR BMW S1000RR) is in second place, followed by Jacques van Wyngaardt (BMW S1000RR). The Honda-mounted Damion Purificati is in

fourth place on the log, ahead of Etienne Nelson and Johnny Krieger. The Super600 category rivalry will continue between defending champion Steven Odendaal (Yamaha R6) and Adolf Boshoff (NeoLife Africa Yamaha R6). The pair face a strong challenge from the Uncle Andy Racing Suzuki GSXR 600s, Blaze Baker and Darien Kayser – the trio hoping to narrow the gap. Nicole van Aswegen (Triumph 675), Byron Bester (Kawasaki ZX6) and Kewyn Snyman (Honda CBR600) all scored valuable points and are intact in the championship. Brandon Staffen won both Super Junior events, leaving Cameron Hackart and Tyreece Robert to catch up. In the battle for supremacy, they could be joined by Dominic Doyle, Luca Coccioni and Lance Marais. In the Northern Regions race, Thomas Brown (Ducati) leads the championship after two wins at Red Star. He faces a stiff challenge from the crew of Johan van der Merwe Junior (Ducati) and Jason Wessels (KTM), Shaun Jubber (KTM), Kyle Robinson (Ducati) and Neil van Loggerenberg (KTM). Luke MacGreggor, Aiden Liebenberg or Luca Balona are favourites to win the 250 Cup. However, Daryn Andrews and Ricardo Otto could spoil it for the favourites. Cidney Farinha (Kawasaki) leads the way in the Ladies’ Cup. She faces a tough challenge from Sandra Shelley (Kawasaki ZX6) and Savannah Woodward (Monroe Racing Honda). Joe Herbig, Tyron Walters, Pierre Vorster and Aiden Oosthuizen are contenders to watch for in the Breakfast Run class, given their performance. Dylan Gray and Nico van der Merwe traded wins and second places in the Formula Extreme races and share the championship lead. Byron Rothquel leads the chasing pack.

Double blow for Stars in cup Teboho Setena

LOCAL football outfit Sibanye Golden Stars have been dealt a double blow in their ambitious hunt for Nedbank Cup glory this year. The club’s first blow came with the shifting of their last-32 elimination fixture against National First Division (NFD) side Mbombela United to the Kaizer Sebothelo Stadium in Botshabelo – 460 km there and back. The outing was originally scheduled to take place at the Griffons Stadium in Welkom following the competition’s draw conducted in January. Then the second blow to Stars’ cup glory hunt was their elimination from the championship by opponents United, who won by 4-0. The result ended Stars’ journey in this prestigious football competition which features all clubs in the different football leagues – amateur, semi-professional and professional. The change of venue from Welkom away to Botshabelo, with the Premier Soccer League (PSL) confirming it in a statement, was just three days before the staging of the match on Sunday (06/03). The PSL cited safety measures as the main reason to have the fixture played in Botshabelo after the police had rejected the grading certificate supplied for the Griffons Stadium. The PSL made the change of venue at its own expense for both teams, Stars and United.

The police gave the following reasons: ) The safe seating capacity of the venue must be determined to inform tickets sales. ) The information on the certificate is incomplete and the risk category of events that can take place in this venue is medium or low risk. ) Regarding the safety structural certificate of the venue (Griffons Stadium), is it available and certified by an engineer that the venue is safe to use? Owing to the last minute change of stadium, the Stars camp lamented bitterly that their preparations were thrown into disarray – giving them no prospect of repeating the feat of 2010 when they reached the last-16 group stage. They attained this feat in 2010 after beating erstwhile NFD team Blackburn Rovers by 5-4 on penalties in the last-32 group stage. In the year in question, the outfit from Lejweleputswa, however, lost in the last-16 group stage by 3-1 to Black Leopards, another team also campaigning in the NFD. Thus far, three Free State teams in the second tier have reached the last-16 group stage including Stars (previously Beatrix Liverpool). The other two are the defunct Roses United and Maluti FET College, in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Roses beat erstwhile NFD side Bay United by 2-0 while Maluti demolished PSL giants Orlando Pirates by 4-1, which remains the biggest result by a Free State lower division club.

Dit is herfs Z ’n ideale tyd om mid-Suid-Afrika te verken. Die Vrystaat en Noord-Kaap is koeler, dit is ’n raps groener as in die snikhete somer en dit is ook meestal goedkoper, want dit is buiteseisoen. Moenie die agterpaaie van ons geweste onderskat nie – dit bring soms onverwagse vondste soos dié ry windpompe wat in gelid tussen Trompsburg en Philippolis staan.

Wyk uit na die platteland Jens Friis “YOU drive yourself too hard,” betig ’n doktersvriendin se Engelse man haar op ’n keer. “You really must learn to take time to stop and smell the profit.” “Hy het reg,’’ erken sy later teenoor my. “My praktyk is net te besig . . . G’n wonder dit voel ná alles asof iets steeds kortkom nie.” Menige spook só om die tientalle uiteenlopende aspekte van ’n Westerse lewe te integreer dat dit vrek moeilik word om dít wat regtig vir jou belangrik is, vanselfsprekend na te streef en uit te leef. Dit is dan ook g’n wonder nie dat al hoe meer stedelinge vir hulle huise aanskaf, van Parys en Prins Albert tot Smithfield en Clarens. ’n Plattelandse lewe beteken allermins ’n sorgvrye bestaan van niksdoen, maar die moontlikheid is groter om te leef volgens wat jou lewenstyl behoort te wees. Minder is eenvoudig net soveel meer. En as die minder net soms om meer vra, is afstand geensins ’n probleem nie. Gelukkig is daar deesdae iets soos satellietskottels, die internet en blitsige rygoed. Ná kuiers in Rosendal, wat ’n spanperd van bogenoemde dorpies is, kan ek maar net aan die meerderwaardiges sê: “Salig is ons dan maar wat ‘arm’ van gees is, want daar word gesê dat aan hulle die koninkryk behoort.” Dit was eens in middel-September dat ek die eerste keer in Rosendal gekuier het. Dit is bibberend koud. Ongeag die varsgroen wilgers lê die sneeu wit op die blougrys berge. Die radionuus sê paaie in die Oos-Vrystaat word gesluit. “Die teerpad tussen Senekal en Ficksburg loop verby Rosendal,” verduidelik my vriende wat van Johannesburg kom. “Maar kyk mooi, die aanwysingsbord daarheen is klein.” Dit was dan ook wel die geval. As jy nie mooi kyk nie, sal jy wraggies verby dié pad net anderkant Senekal ry. Ons spreek af om mekaar by die kerk, “die imposantste gebou in die dorp”, te ontmoet. Vir my lyk die sandsteen-Godswoning met sy toring al te veel na ’n Middeleeuse kasteel. Op ’n standbeeld daarbuite is gegraveer: “Uit Afrikaner-rou is gebore Afrikaner-trou.” Ook anders as in Europa is die kerk nie omring deur huise nie. Nee, in Rosendal is die wonings ver van mekaar. Erwe lê oop. Die verwagte ontwikkeling het nooit gekom nie. Die strate het elk ’n naam en een is selfs in die vorm van ’n boulevard met ’n middelmannetjie en bome, die lot. “Dit is soet,” sou my dokters-

Stedelinge skaf met rede vir hulle huise in Fouriesburg en Smithfield, tot Clarens en Parys aan.

Wanneer laas was jy in ’n plattelandse winkel soos dié een in Rosendal?

vriend se Engelse man later sê, én dit goed bedoel. Soos baie ander plekke langs die trekroete het Rosendal sy naam te danke aan die Voortrekkers. Die dorp is in 1911 aangelê, maar reeds op 18 Oktober 1837 het die Voortrekker-prediker Erasmus Smit dit aangedui as Roderozendal of Bloemendal. Hy skryf in sy dagboek dat van die trekkers wild gaan skiet het en pragtige blomme uit ’n “bloemrijk oord” saamgebring het. “Vele door onze ogen nog nooit geziene bloeme . . . zodat ik proponeerde de plaats, waar we nu met’s Gouverneurskamp gekampeerd liggen, Bloemendal of Roderozendal te noemen; overwegende de uitnemend grote rozenrode bloemen de hier in grote menigte gevonden worden: Men behoeft nie eens naar’t veld uit te gaan, om de bloemen te zoeken; maar de aangename geur der bloemen wandelt of komt ons hier in ‘t leger als vanzelf te gemoet.” Die huis waar ons die naweek bly, het nie elektrisiteit nie. Die aande voel lank. Daar is g’n televisie nie. Die battery van die skootrekenaar is ná ’n ruk pap. Tog is dit nie ondraaglik nie. Ons berei almal saam ’n maal by kers- en lamplig voor. Die Aga hou die koue buite terwyl daar aangesit word vir witte-aspersiesop met broccoli en croutons. Wilde seebaars (aangery uit Johannesburg) gebak in olyfolie vorm die hoofgereg. Ons kuier tot laatnag. Die volgende môre vertel my vriendin: “Terwyl die wind die huis laat kraak het, was ek lanklaas so bewus van my eie bestaan as deur die nag onder die snoesige duvet.” Sy wil nog verder vertel, maar haar selfoon lui. Ja, Rosendal het wel (ongelukkig?) selfoonontvangs. ’n Maand en ’n half later is ons terug. Dit voel snaaks om ’n kortbroek te dra, terwyl ysblokkies aanloklik klingel ná die bibberweer die vorige keer. Die laatmiddag se hitte is onweerstaanbaar. Die landerye staan geil en die irisse blom in die tuin. Ons eet waatlemoen. Die kinders bou dammetjies en dorpies langs die huis. Ons lê op die gras, sluit ons oë en luister: die geruis van blare in die wind, voëls in die bome, die stille gezoem om ons heen . . . Kinders verdwaal in ’n spel, ’n aansteeklike gelag, spattende water, die vrolike geblaf van ’n hond . . . “May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live,” merk my doktersvriendin se wederhelf op.

Rooimiere in jou reisb(r)oek Jacques van Vuuren HET die spreekwoordelike rooimiere, waaroor jou ma jou kleintyd gevra het toe jy nie kon stilsit nie, al ooit onverwags in jou broek geklim en jou ’n reislus gegee wat jy eenvoudig net moet bevredig? Dít gebeur gereeld met my. Dit is dan wanneer ek

Why do we travel? ) Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert ) We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” – Anonymous ) The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.” – Henry David Thoreau ) For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” – Robert Louis Stevenson

my padkaart nader trek. Nie die elektroniese soort nie! Nee, die papierkaart waarvan die hoeke al krul en die middelblad begin skeur van gebruik. So ’n papierkaart het mos ’n bekoring van sy eie. Soveel lyne en kolle en simbole wat elkeen na ’n ander bestemming, met die vreemdste name verwys, is

uitlokkend én bevredigend. En so, terwyl die rooimiere in my broek kriewel, vou ek die kaart oop en mik in die algemene rigting van die Noord-Kaap, want die Noord-Kaap reis mos die lekkerste! Met sy ooptes, doringbome en sonskyn. Dan druk ek my vinger met toe oë op ’n kol of streep. ’n Bestemming word in ’n oogwink in my verbeelding lewendig en dan begin die beplanning. ’n Reis is mos immers nie net wiele wat rol nie. Nee, ’n reis begin lank voordat die sleutel in die aansitter gesteek word. Wanneer daar besluit is op ’n plek om heen te reis, begin ek dink aan die afstand, die kostes en die tydbestek. In daardie volgorde pak ek dit aan; faktore wat hand vat soos die reis hand vat met die ervaring. Want, verbeel ek my, as dit nie te ver is nie of as ek stadiger ry, kan die kostes

laag gehou word. Feit is, brandstof is die grootste uitgawe wanneer daar gereis word. Maar hoe sal ek my nou daardeur laat afsit? Nee wat! Dit is soos braai op ’n Saterdagmiddag. Al kos die tjops R100 per kilogram, daar sal gebraai word. So bereken ek vinnig die afstand. Dan die brandstofkoste. Verblyf is nie altyd noodsaaklik nie, want selfs ’n Sondag is mos lank genoeg vir ’n vinnige reis na ’n klein naburige dorpie waar jy ’n koppie koffie kan geniet op die stoep van die klein

koffiewinkel in die hoofstraat. Wanneer die logistiek afgehandel is, die koste bereken en die sleutel gedraai, blaai die ander helfte deur die brosjures wat meer vertel oor ons bestemming. Dit is dan wanneer die verkenningstog begin, ’n volwaardige reis op sy eie, en ek met sekerheid weet: ek is op pad. Ek reis! Elke afgelegde kilometer het ’n storie, elke uur het sy eie trant. Die pad word ’n potloodstreep op dié dag se doek wat beskilder word.

Die detail van die skildery word bepaal deur my eie waarnemings en afgerond in die kleure van my keuse. Meteens maak die bestemming nie meer soveel saak nie. Die koste en afstand het vervaag in die romanse van die reis. En ek besef waaroor reis nou eintlik gaan . . . Reis gaan oor die ervarings gedurende ’n verkenningstog. Die fyner detail wat jy op jou doek kan verf. Dit gaan oor die skildery wat jy uiteindelik teen die muur van jou onthou hang.

Die sentiment van Sani-pas

GET AROUND On the South African side game drives are offered, but for the most part it's most convenient to have your own vehicle. A 4x4 or a vehicle with high clearance is preferable though not essential. LENGTH OF STAY You need several days to do this park justice.

WHERE TO STAY The South African side has a variety of self-catering and camping facilities. There's also a luxury lodge between Mata Mata and Twee Rivieren and unfenced wilderness camps. The Botswana side specialises more in rustic wilderness camping.

deur die grenspos gaan nie, word die volheid van die pas nie beleef nie. Op die deel tussen die twee grensposte Z wat etlike kilometers lank is Z vou die Sani-pas se kronkels vir die viertrekvoertuig oop. Die haarnaalddraaie moet

kruip-kruip aangepak word, om van die afkom nie eers te praat nie! Maar dan begin die eerste Hi-Ace-minibussies uit Lesotho skuur-skuur van voor om die draaie gly. Wanneer jy stop om ’n foto te neem, spat hulle sommer

COME AND EXPLORE THE 5 ARID PARKS

HOW TO GET HERE Augrabies Falls National Park is situated 120 km west of Upington and 40 km north-west of Kakamas on a tarred access route. National air links to Upington and a private airfield 5 km from the park. Internal roads are gravelled.

BEST TIME TO VISIT Best time to visit is in winter between March and October. GET AROUND Getting around can be by canoe trail, through day walks, hiking trails or by mountain bike. LENGTH OF STAY Several days to one week. WHERE TO STAY Accommodation is available at the Augrabies Restcamp in the form of family cottages, bungalows and campsites. A newly established Gorge cottage is situated 10 km from the rest camp. WHAT'S HAPPENING The park's major events are the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon, Klipspringer Challenge, Trans-Augrabies MTB and the Augrabies Marathon.

HOW TO GET HERE From Cape Town, drive north on the N7 towards the Namibian border. You'll find Kamieskroon along this road, about 500 km (six hours' drive) from Cape Town, and 67 km south of the larger Namaqualand town of Springbok. The park is close by, and well signposted from Kamieskroon. BEST TIME TO VISIT Undoubtedly spring. Depending on the timing and duration of winter rainfalls, the flowering usually happens between the beginning of August and the end of September. WHAT WILL IT COST A day visit to the park costs about R50 per person. LENGTH OF STAY A morning or a full day, unless you're planning to take the Caracal Eco Route or stay overnight. WHERE TO STAY There are 4 easily accessible selfcatering cottages in the park, as well as a guesthouse that can only be reached with 4x4 vehicles. There are also several spectacular but rustic campsites on the coast equipped only with eco loos. Most of these are only accessible by 4x4 and you have to bring your own water. In spring, you can also check into the Flowers Tented Camp at Koringkorrelbaai on the coast.

AI/AIS – RICHTERSVELD TRANSFRONTIER PARK

BEST TIME TO VISIT Being a desert, temperatures are extreme. Summer (November to March) is searingly hot. Winter (June to August) is mild and pleasantly warm during the day but very cold at night. Spring and autumn are the most moderate and pleasant.

Op die grondpad voel ’n mens, met ’n titsel verbeelding, so bietjie soos die ou avonturiers wat die pas getem het. Dit kronkel geleidelik op tot by die Suid-Afrikaanse grenspos waar jy nie eers dan moet wonder of jou paspoort ingepak is nie. Indien ’n mens nié

HOW TO GET HERE From the Northern Cape town of Upington, head north to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park's gate at Twee Rivieren.

AUGRABIES FALLS

KGALAGADI TRANSFRONTIER PARK

WAT is dit aan die Sani-pas wat ’n mens lok? Die 2 876 m bo seespieël wat met ’n voertuig bereikbaar is? Die kronkels wat jou swaaiend al om die imposante rotslyste en troonpieke na bo lei? Of is dit om te kan sê jy het ’n bier in die hoogste kroeg in die Suidelike Halfrond gedrink? Dalk is dit ál hierdie elemente, en nog meer, wat op die Sani-pas handevat om jou ’n onvergeetlike ervaring te gee. Dit is elkeen se eie keuse of die Sani-pas voor teetyd reeds op en af gery is, of ’n mens die lekkerte stop-stop en beurend teen die steiltes uit oor bykans ’n hele dag wil uitrek, en of ’n mens nóg verder wil gaan en met jou paspoort ingepak oor die grens Lesotho verken. Indien jy, soos ek, van Bloemfontein daarheen gery het, is ’n dag nodig om tot naby die voet van die Sani-pas te kom en miskien by Underberg of Himeville te oornag. Beide dié dorpe en die omgewing bied oornagverblyf wat wissel van luukse oorde, spookagtige ou hotelle tot backpackers op plase. Begin sommer vroeg om die Sani-pas aan te durf. Dit is ’n lushof van berghange, sprokieskranse en lewendige valleie met waterstrome en plek-plek digter plantegroei wat tonele soos vanuit sprokiesboeke skep. Teen ’n hoogte van 1 544 m begin die pas op ’n teerpad. Wanneer die teerpad ophou, begin die grondpad en dit is die eerste rede waarom mense soos ek die Sani-pas wil ry. Om die grondpad-gevoel van die pas te beleef! Ja, die gerugte dat dit geteer gaan word, is ongelukkig waar.

HOW TO GET HERE Richtersveld Transfrontier Park is located in the far north-western region of the Northern Cape province, and lies alongside the Orange River which forms the border between South Africa and Namibia. BEST TIME TO VISIT The park is open all year round. GET AROUND The area is accessible by 4x4 or by paddling down the Orange River.

LENGTH OF STAY It may take some time to locate these plants, so allow for half to a full day

WHERE TO STAY The park has a rest camp, wilderness camps and campsites next to the Orange River.

drie, vier by jou verby met oënskynlik góéd gebruikte bande en pap skokbrekers en jy mag dalk voel dat jou vierwiel effe oorbodig is. Maar ja, jou ou staatmaker bakkie sal die pas net soveel veiliger en aangenamer maak. Pak hom dus maar in vir hierdie avontuur. Langs die pad verdwyn die Mkhomazana-rivier ál dieper na benede terwyl die vallei in die verte soos ’n oopgespreide tafeldoek begin lyk. Nou raak jy lus vir daai padkos wat al sedert vroegoggend op die agtersitplek saamry. Stop op een van die talle aftrekplekke en geniet dit! Al hoër en hoër beloof elke foto om beter as die vorige een te wees. Bo jou troon die berge uit. Wanneer ’n mens stil langs jou voertuig staan en jou inleef in die sprokiesagtigheid van die rotse wat soos kastele met bastions en omringde binnehowe lewend om jou word, kan mens jou verbeel dat die reuse van ouds hier ’n draai gemaak het. In die stilte hoor jy dalk nog die perdehoewe soos ruiters teen die hange afsukkel op die ou handelsroete wat hierlangs in gebruik was voordat die pas in die 1940’s vir voertuie ontwikkel is. Ongeag al die prag is daar ’n hoog(s)tepunt aan die Sani-pas: Beter as die asemrowende uitsigte, meer bevredigend as die brul van jou viertrekvoertuig se enjin en dieper as die ontsag wat jy vir die grootsheid onwikkel is die foto wat jy kan neem van die ongeveer agt haarnaalddraaie en kronkels van die pas wanneer jy heel bo voel of jy op die rand van Afrika staan. Dan weet jy waarom jy jare lank al brand om hierdie pas te ry.

MOKALA

Jacques van Vuuren

HOW TO GET HERE From Cape Town or Johannesburg, head for Kimberley on the N12. From Kimberley, drive 57 km south-west to the Hayfield/Heuningnes crossing, then turn right onto a gravel road. You'll find the park entrance on your right, after about 21 km. There is also an airport at Kimberley.

BEST TIME TO VISIT Autumn (April and May) and spring (September) are extremely pleasant. Midsummer and midwinter bring extreme temperatures. LENGTH OF STAY Stay at least 2 nights to truly feel the magic of this place where endangered species roam. WHERE TO STAY Mokala has two rest camps where the accommodation is semiluxurious to luxurious as well as campsites.

Deur die busruit Lientjie Barnard

NET voor Keimoes ontwaak die dag met blosende wange. Slapendes in die bus, wat onder sterlig iewers tussen Windhoek en Kakamas opgeklim het, roer onder komberse. Die sussende geruis van bande op teer word deur skel selfone verbreek. “Hallo, ons is op Keimoes,” hoor ek flarde van gesprekke. “ . . . eers so sewe-uur vanaand in Johannesburg . . .” Nog iemand praat van ’n troue en ’n driftige stem sê: “Ek gee nie om wat hy dink nie . . .” Deur die bus se ruit lees ek die buitelugspyskaart voor Keimoes se Oasis Kafee: Jaffels, vleisfrikkadelle en lewerkoekies hier te koop. By die kruising kies die bus die pad na Upington. Ander reisigers sal vandag die pad na Kenhardt en Kakamas kies. Tussen Keimoes en Kanoneiland, terwyl groen wingerde en rooi sand verbyflits, word koffie bedien. Die eerste sonstrale maak die kanaal ’n blink waterslang. Nie eens die skroeiende somerhitte van die Noord-Kaap kon ons kleintyd oorreed om selfs net ons tone in dié kanaal te druk nie. Die groot skrikstories van sluise wat kinders vassuig of tot bo-oor Augrabies-waterval spoel, het ons veilig op die kant gehou. By Upington se bushalte draf ’n verwer verby, sekerlik op pad werk toe. Sy blou oorpak en bruin skoene is wit gespikkel en sy kospakkie swaai in ’n plastieksak langs hom. Hy

stop, sy vroegoggend haas om by die werk te kom vergete. Heimweë om saam te ry is duidelik op sy gesig geskryf. Hy draai na die padkaart teen die ruit en met sy vinger ry hy die pad. Miskien dink hy: Eendag . . . Waarheen sou hy wou ry? Miskien kom hy vanaand by die huis en sê vir sy vrou: “Ná Krismis moet ons spaar dat ons Julie se maand met die bus vir die kind in Johannesburg gaan kuier.” Geen bagasie ’n Man staan by die busdeur en wag om in te boek. “Enige bagasie?” vra die waardin. “Geen bagasie,” kom die antwoord. Kan ’n mens bagasieloos reis? Iets sal jy tog altyd met jou saamdra. Iets soos ’n herinnering wat loodswaar aan jou arms hang of iets wat jou ligvoets laat glimlag terwyl die ander wonder. Net buite Upington haal ek my padkos uit; vou sagte bruin brood met perskekonfyt en kaas uit die servet met katprentjies bedruk. Bederf is gewone brood in ’n spesiale servet toegedraai; ’n ongeskonde tarentaalveer van die veld af aangedra; ’n boepensbotteltjie aarbeikonfyt present gekry. Mensgemaakte grense baken wingerde en plaashuise af. Lemmetjiesdraad hou trosse druiwe uit skelms se hande. Jakkalsdraad hou skape in en jakkalse uit. Alles kan nie met grense uitgehou word nie. Weëmoed, verlange en vreugde spring losvoets daaroor. Dit klim selfs ongenooid deur die sleutelgat van ’n geslote

deur. Dit kan ’n mens inhaal op ’n bus waar die werklikheid teen 120 km per uur by jou verbyflits. Kort voor Olifantshoek trek die bus van die pad af; fout met ’n waaierband. Styf gesit sukkel passasiers gretig uit die bus. ’n Jong meisie met deftige klere gaan sit plat teen die sandwal. “Eendag,” sê sy en kyk na die pad terug Upington se kant toe, “gaan ek nog my eie kar hê. Ek is ’n huiswerker in Kaapstad, maar eendag wil ek sélf ry en by my ma in Olifantshoek kom kuier.” In Olifantshoek klim sy af. ’n Vrou, waarskynlik haar ma, gryp haar bly vas terwyl ’n jonger meisie, miskien haar kleinsussie, vra: “Wat het jy vir my saamgebring?” Dan stap hulle laggend die brandwarm sypaadjie af. Die man sonder bagasie het ook afgeklim. ’n Vrou in ’n luukse motor sit hom en inwag. Hulle piksoen mekaar met strak gesigte. Met ’n ewige afstand tussen hulle ry hulle in lugverkoeling weg. Soms, so sien ek deur die bus se venster, klim ’n mens op die regte halte af Z op die afgespreekte tyd. Maar soms is die afstand tussen mense onoorbrugbaar en is selfs die ruimte tussen twee sitplekke te ver om by mekaar uit te kom. En soms, so sien ek ook deur die bus se venster, maak afstand, tyd of plek nie saak nie. Selfs sonder om by mekaar te wees, weet ek, kan ’n mens jubelend aan iemand raak. Met net ’n gedagte.

Roete:

Ry die Gariep plat

TOE/NOU: Nelia Grobbelaar het in die vroeë 1970’s gaan kyk hoe die H.F. Verwoerddam gebou is. Nelia is nou die hoofsubredakteur in die nagkantoor van Volksblad in Bloemfontein. Die Verwoerddam is sedertdien herdoop tot die Gariepdam. Jens Friis GROOT plate water in dorre streke het die mens nog altyd betower. In die Bybelse tyd is dit al vereenselwig met oases wat lafenis vir moeë reisigers bied. Dit is dan ook g’n wonder nie dat toeriste na die Nyl se Aswandam in Egipte en die Grand Canyon en Hoover-dam in Amerika stroom nie. Soos daar, staan jy híér verstom oor die teenstelling van water en woestyn by die Gariepdam in die Karoo. Tot aan die gesigseinder strek die water van dié mensgemaakte meer wat deur die lewegewende Oranjerivier gevoed word. So groot is dié dam dat dit deesdae as die !Gariepmeer bekend staan. In vroeëre jare het tot 600 motorfietse om die Gariepdam gery ten tyde van Harley-saamtrekke op Colesberg, terwyl soortgelyke fietstoere sou volg. Kort hierna het dié roete, wat deur die Noord-Kaap, Vrystaat en Oos-Kaap strek, amptelike status gekry. Die geteerde roete van 155 km sluit in Venterstad/Oviston na Norvalspont (40 km), Norvalspont na Gariepdam (5 km), Gariepdam na Bethulie (58 km) en Bethulie na Venterstad/Oviston (52 km). Ander dorpe soos Steynsburg, Hanover, Colesberg en Springfontein word ook geag deel te wees van die roete, volgens die !Gariepmeer-brosjure. Ons het by Bethulie aan die noordekant van die dam begin en die sirkelroete linksom gery. Die voordeel hiervan is dat jy dan omtrent altyd wegry van die son af en dit dus nie pla nie.

Deur die dag verander die Oranjerivier van koper en blou tot selfs ’n grysgroen. Soggens as die mis daaroor hang, trek die Karoo-koppies wat deur water omring word sterk op eilandjies in die Verre Ooste. Oviston Net noord van Venterstad op die suidelike oewer van die Hendrik Verwoerddam (soos dit vroeër bekend was) is Oviston. Die werkers wat omstreeks 1965 aan die Oranje-Vistonnel gewerk het, het destyds hier gebly. “Oviston” is afgelei van die naam Oranje-Vistonnel. Dié tonnel van 83 km is die langste aaneenlopende tonnel ter wêreld en verskaf water aan die Visrivier vir besproeiing. In Desember 1980 is Oviston by Venterstad ingelyf Z met al sy geriewe, watersuiweringsaanleg, stadsaal en enkelkwartiere.

Ghoflegende Gary Player se perdestoetplaas is tussen Colesberg en Gariepdam geleë. Met ons besoek was hy by die De Stijl Hotel (www.destijl.co.za), een van die beste in dié geweste, langs Aasvoëlstraat in Gariepdam. Terwyl die kos gemaak is, het Player gevra hulle moet tog asseblief net gou die TV-kanaal verander, want hy wou ’n oog gooi om te sien wie is voor in ’n gholftoernooi in Kalifornië. Donkerpoort Maak ’n draai by die Donkerpoortstasie, waar die meeste van die boumateriaal vir die Gariepdam afgelaai is. Dit is haas ondenkbaar dat soveel sement, beton en staal by dié verlate stasie afgelaai kon word vir een van die grootste ingenieursprojekte in Afrika.

Grote hier gebore Pres. Paul Kruger is op die plaas Vaalbank, 20 km noordoos van Venterstad, gebore. Plekke van verskrikking In die Anglo-Boereoorlog (18991902) het 528 kinders en 176 volwassenes in die Norvalspontkonsentrasiekamp gesterf. In die konsentrasiekamp by Bethulie is 4 800 vroue en kinders aangehou. Nie minder nie as 1 737 het gesterf. Die grafte is destyds verskuif, want daar is gevrees dat die Gariepdam dit sou oorstroom. Ellelange brug By die bou van die Gariepdam moes ’n nuwe brug in 1967 opgerig word om die Vrystaat met die Oos-Kaap te verbind. Die Hennie Steyn-brug wat na Venterstad lei is 1,2 km lank en strek oor die inloop van die Gariepdam. Dit is die langste pad- en spoor-kombinasiebrug in Suid-Afrika. Stap in die damwal Die wal van die Gariepdam bestaan uit 13 km van gangetjies en sale. Skakel 082-801-2726 of 051-754-0001 om ’n toer hierdeur te beleef. Die Gariepdam beslaan ’n oppervlak van 360 km² – vier keer so groot as die See van Galilea in Israel. Die wal is 914 m lank en daar is 1 730 miljoen m³ beton in die konstruksie gebruik.

DOEN DÍT HIER Verskil Let op hoe die kleur van die water in die dam kan verskil. Dit is dikwels baie bruiner daar waar die Grootrivier dam word as elders waar die water staan.

Daar word vertel van die mense wat in die sement geval het, is in dié damwal “ingebou” toe bouwerk in 1966 begin het.

Jens Friis DAAR is geen pad tussen twee dorpe wat ek al meer gery het as dié tussen Trompsburg en Philippolis nie. Op skool sou ons hierheen ry vir swemgalas en tennis- en rugbywedstryde. Maar dit is veral omdat dit ook die pad na Bloemfontein is wat ek elke hobbel en knik ken. Bloemfontein is waar ons inkopies doen, waar ek ses jaar geswot het, Junie-maande verby sou ry na die Krugerwildtuin en ek deesdae werk. Tog is hierdie streep teer, genaamd die R717, nie ’n besige pad nie. As jy drie karre op die ganse stuk kry, sê jy aan jou mede-passasier: “Wat gaan aan? Dit is vandag so bésig.” Die eerste baken as jy Trompsburg uitry, is die stasie waar ons vanmeleë vir tant Anna (my ma se oudste suster) gaan oplaai het, sou sy vakansies kom kuier het. Dit is ook hier waar kinders afgeklim het wat op Philippolis kom skool gaan het vanweë goeie beurse. Soms het hulle met net ’n tandeborsel van die trein geklim. Deesdae klim niemand meer hier af nie. Die trein hou verby. Volgende is die afdraaipad na Jagersfontein en dan die bome waar my ouma en oupa van Vaalbank-Zuid, Bloemfontein, graag koffie gedrink het sou hulle kom kuier. Dit is ook hier waar my selfoon een aand gelui het en my pa gesê het: “Ons het teëspoed. Ouma is dood.” Teen die volgende afdraand is ’n bruggie wat jou laat hik as jy te vinnig ry – selfs nadat die pad al herteer is. En by Kromellenboog, ’n spruit, kon ons groepie skoolatlete in 1988 nie deur nie. Die spruit was in vloed. Al die oefenry vir die interlaer- en interhoërswem daardie jaar was verniet. Naby die 40 km-omdraaiplek vir fietse by Philippolis se jaarlikse Witblitsfees lê ’n ongewone koppie. Dit herinner aan ’n vulkaan of dalk ’n piramide. Volgens legende is daar bo-op glo ’n boer begrawe sodat hy ’n wye blik oor sy plaas kon hê. In dié omgewing wissel die selfoonseine mekaar flink af: Trompsburg, Springfontein, Jagersfontein, Philippolis . . . Daar is die leegte met die baie miershope, die afdraaipad na Springfontein, en die eertydse plaasskooltjie wat onbenut staan. In droogtetye moet jy saans hier op jou hoede wees. Duikertjies,

Agterpad ystervarke en springbokke kom wei dan graag in die groenerige grassies langs die teerpad. Gaste in Philippolis merk wel op dat jy hier soms meer diere sien as in dele van die wildtuin. ’n Belgiese gas het al opgewonde vertel van die “kangaroos” – waarskynlik springhase – wat hy gesien het. En dan was daar die Philippoliser wat eens so byna in die sop was, want daar was bewerings dat hy hier ’n bok vir biltong geskiet het. Tussen ’n handvol windpompe staan ’n pompkamertjie wat herinner aan die huisie van Adoons (die strokiesprentkarakter jare gelede in Landbouweekblad). Byna halfpad (30 km nog) het ons wit Mazdabakkie gaan staan op ’n snikhete Sondagmiddag. In my kinderoë was die wêreld wyd en ek hoogs bekommerd toe my pa die pad moes aandurf na die naaste plaas vir brandstof. Gelukkig was ’n Huisgenoot byderhand en my ma het vir my en broer Nico vermaak met Bollie. Dit is by Pypersfontein van Niël Lubbe wat jy die Philippolis-distrik inry. Dan nie ver nie of jy sien saans die spooktrein van Slangfontein. Dit is die ligte van die opstal en plaaswerkers se

huise. Kleintyd het my ma altyd padkos saamgery, maar duskant die spoorlyn was dit verbode om koeldrank te drink. Die pad skud te veel en die koeldrank sou uit die plastiekglasies mors. Dit is hier waar ek douvoordag op pad universiteit toe erg remme moes aanslaan. Dit was donkermaan en mistig. ’n Trop swart beeste het in die pad geslaap. Ek het byna teen een se blad tot stilstand gekom. Ook in my universiteitsdae het skoolkinders van Bloemfontein af soms saamgery, onder wie D.G. Snyman. Hy het destyds die Hoërskool Sentraal bygewoon. By die uitdraaipad na Druiwefontein het ons hom meerdere maal opgelaai. By die spoorlyn wat Fauresmith en Philippolisweg verbind, het Jannie Els, die Vrystaatse losvoorspeler, destyds teen ’n lokomotief gebots. Hierdie trein was die eerste waarop ek gery het. Dit was in my kindertuinjare aan die Laerskool M.T. Steyn. Wat my bybly, is dat die trein eenkeer só vinnig gestop het om melkkanne op te laai dat ons almal neergeslaan het in die gang (ook wyle juffrou Therina Marais).

In die dae voordat die N1 gebou is, was dít die hoofpad tussen Johannesburg en Kaapstad, en by die spooroorgang was selfs ’n kafee. Soms gebeur dit dat die N1 vir ’n uur of wat sluit weens ’n erge ongeluk en dan word die verkeer hierheen herlei. Maar die R717’tjie is glad nie gebou vir die hedendaagse verkeer nie. Die groot lorries ruk gate uit die teer en Philippolisers verpes dit, want hulle sit ná die tyd met die gebakte pere. Dwarsrivier van Willem Strauss is dalk die mooiste plaas. Sy seun, Adriaan, is die Springbok-haker. Dit was altoos ’n spogplaas. Vroeër jare het minister Serfontein, oftewel oom Serfie, hier geboer. Hierdie grond is vrugbaar en “ná die reëns gee die veld haar oor soos ’n slet aan die groen” (om by Antjie Krog te leen). Dan is daar die lang draai waar die bankbestuurder se vrou haar motor gerol het, ’n taxi gestop het, en haar selfoon gesteel is. De Rust se vorige inwoners is nie meer van hierdie aarde nie. Bessie Nel, ’n boesemvriendin van my ma, en haar man, Izak, was een aand op pad van ’n casino af toe ’n lorrie teen hulle vasgery het. Albei is op slag dood.

’n Ent verder is die reguit stuk pad waar ek byna van die pad gery het kort nadat ek leer bestuur het. Dit was laat en die vaak het my byna oorval op pad van Bloemfontein. Gelukkig is Philippolis naby. Jy sien al die selfoontoring op die kop. En voordat jy jou kan kry, is jy by die uitdraai na Fauresmith. Hiernatoe moes ons altyd hardloop om fiks te word vir landloop. Daar’s die draai waar ’n onderwyseres eens haar BMW gerol het, en agter die padkamp is die dorpsdamme. Hierheen ry algar as dit reën, want as dié damme water kry, gaan die dorpsfontein weer loop. Die laaste baken langs die pad is die Chinese Draai skuins langs die dorpstennisbane. In die 1950’s het ’n motor vol Chinese hier die pad byster geraak onderweg na die Kolonie. Hul toegelate tydperk in die Vrystaat was verby en inderhaas het hulle nie hul draai kon kry nie. En dan is jy op Philippolis, my geboortedorp. Kyk jy terug is daar ’n bordjie wat sê Trompsburg is 56 km, maar by Trompsburg staan Philippolis is 55 km ver. Oor hoe dit kan wees, hang ná al die jare steeds ’n vraagteken.

Ver in die ou Kalahari

MET my besoek eendag op nie ‘n reëndag is dit grafstil in Tosca. Jens Friis DIT was Alan Paton wat eens gesê het: “If you wish to live in Africa, you have to be an optimist.” En waar is dit gewis. Die strewe na ekonomiese rykdom word hier getemper deur voortdurende droogtes. En die plekname is sprekend daarvan: Voorspoed, Driefontein, Vorstershoop, Vergeleë . . . Met my besoek eendag op nie ’n reëndag is dit grafstil in Tosca. Dit is tussen een en twee. Geen siel is in sig nie. Algar rus, of eet. Tosca is nie ’n bestemming nie. Dit is net ’n stopplek langs die pad. Was dit elders, sou jy verbygery het, want hier is weinig meer as ’n drankwinkel en poskantoor. Maar in dié geweste stop almal hier vir ’n koeldrank of bier. Soos die kraai vlieg, is Vryburg immers ’n allemintige 150 km weg en die Botswana-grens 70 km noord. As jy nie hier verpoos nie, is al genade om onder ’n kameeldoring te rus. Toe die dorp lewe kry teen 14:00, maak ons ’n draai by die slaghuis. Hier

verkoop hulle outydse lemonade. Die handgemaakte plakker op die bottel lees: “Maak aan met twee-derdes water en bedien met baie ys.” En ja, dit was voorwaar verfrissend. In Tosca word baie stories vertel oor waar dié dorp se naam vandaan kom. Wat egter seker is, is dat dit nie verband hou met Puccini, Maria Callas of Nessun Dorma nie. ’n Vrou vertel dat Tosca eers anders geheet het. Sy kan nie onthou wat nie (dit was voor haar tyd, maar sy onthou haar ouma het so vertel). Daar was blykbaar ’n dorpie in Natal met dieselfde naam en só is pos heeltemal verkeerd afgelewer. Daarom is besluit om ’n nuwe naam te gee vir die nedersetting op dié plaas. Die omgekeerde van “Ascot” is “Tosca”. En vandaar die naam. Tosca, Vorstershoop en Bray vorm deesdae die Molopo-munisipaliteit. Die Molopo, op die grens tussen Suid-Afrika en Botswana, is so lank as wat Bloemfontein van Kaapstad is. Tog is dié rivier (of is dit eerder ’n sloot?) feitlik

pal net ’n droë loop. Dit het in 1976 en 1934 gevloei, maar nie ’n enkele keer het die waters die Oranjerivier gehaal nie. Die Kalaharisand was te dors. Die uitmergelende droogtes het die inwoners leer saamdoen. In die middel van nêrens is sale staangemaak wat as landbouklubs dien vir die mense hier. “Ver in die ou Kalahari, daar by die Molopo . . .” Naweke trek die plaaslike “Texas-boere” hier saam om van hul maer beeste te vergeet. Van ver kom hulle met bakkies op hoë wiele – ’n noodsaaklikheid vir die duinesandpaaie. Só is Leniesdeel se landbouklub, Pub en Restaurant, ’n gewilde bymekaarkomplek oor naweke. Uniek hier is dat die kroeg en kerk langs mekaar staan. Goeie leesstof voor ’n besoek is Pirow Beker se bundel kortverhale, Tooropstories (Lapa). Hierin vertel Willem Toorop verhale uit die Molopo-kontrei. Let op die talle interessante (by)name soos Sterkarm Pieterse, Salome Witbroek en Trynie Middeltoon.

Dagrit deur Groot(se) Karoo Jens Friis

OP ’n keer kom kuier my Deense neef in Suid-Afrika. Dit is sy eerste besoek, en ook die eerste keer dat enige van ons Europese familie ’n draai in ons Suiderland kom maak. Jesper se vakansiedae is beperk en ons probeer soveel moontlik inpas. Maar aan die einde van die vakansie is dit toe nie die Tuinroete of Tafelberg wat hom die meeste beïndruk het nie, maar wel ons “roadtrip” deur die Groot Karoo. Wat ’n rit moes wees, het onbepland ’n “bestemming” geword. Jesper kon net nie uitgepraat raak oor hierdie onbevolkte wêreld se stilte en sterre, die uitgespande hemel en die nimmereindigende horisonne nie. Daar is meerdere SuidAfrikaners wat die Karoo as ’n landskap afmaak waaroor jy eerder vinnig moet vlieg as waardeur ’n beskaafde mens sal ry – selfs teen 120 km/h. Gwynen Conlyn skryf in Delicious Travel daar is party mense wat nooit vat sal kry aan die Karoo nie, terwyl dit vir ander “ ’n aangeleerde smaak is wat op jou groei”. Maar sommiges, soos Jesper, word onmiddellik deur die Karoo bekoor. “Dis immers ’n plek waar ’n mens mens kan wéés. Jy staan ’n kans om jouself te vind in hierdie ‘niks’,” seg hy anderkant Noupoort. Oftewel soos Jannie du Toit sou sing: “Eenvoud is die vreugde van die lewe.”

'n Bak vol bloedrooi granate. En toe ons onder ’n karee buite Middelburg stop, merk Jesper op: “Europa is gans te cluttered.” Digby is ’n opstal wat se agterplaas tot aan die einder strek. ’n Uur later ry ons die Vallei van Verlatenheid binne. Sowat 230 miljoen jaar gelede het prehistoriese diere hier gewei waar die Sondagsrivier nou vir Graaff-Reinet omarm. In dié dorp drink ons ’n Fanta-float om die dors te les. (“Karoo” beteken immers in die Khoi-taal “plek van dors”.) En hervat dan die pad oor semi-woestyn-dorpe soos Aberdeen, Willowmore en Uniondale. Windpompe draai om water uit die dorre aarde te

haal vir kuddes dorpers. Die Deen is dol oor ’n paar springbokke, bloukraanvoël en ystervark wat ons pad kruis. En toe ons die Potjiesbergpas na die Klein Karoo oorsteek, sê my welberese neef filosofies: “Dis met rede wat daai Karoo bekend staan as Groot(s). ’n Reis daardeur hoort op enige lys van hoogs aangeskrewe journeys. Vir my is dit ewe indrukwekkend as ’n vaart deur die Panama-kanaal, ’n rit per motor van Los Angeles na New York, of om deur Switserland te stoom met die Glacier Express.” Carlo Goldoni het met rede gesê: “Die wyse reisiger verag nooit sy eie land nie.”

The service was conducted by Pastor Paul O'Neil.

ESTABLISHED and emerging small businesses in the Lejweleputswa district are set to discuss measures to sustain themselves at a breakfast business network to be held on 10 March in Welkom. This is open for all entrepreneurs within the Lejweleputswa region, with the main focus on how to strengthen small businesses. Sampi Rakometsi, coordinator, said this was prompted by research showing that of the thousands of businesses registered in South Africa, more than 80 % collapse or fail to thrive in the first five years of existence. “Confirming the stats, I have been helping people to register businesses for the past four years. “Out of 21, 7 of them are still running, with only 3 doing well.

“Lack of experience, wrong location, poor inventory management and credit management, over-investing in fixed assets and competition are highlighted as the main reasons for failures of small businesses,” he said. Rakometsi said the business breakfast will be significant for emerging entrepreneurs to learn and get advice from experienced business professionals. “Networking with professionals can make it quite easy to get advice and recommendations on how to improve your business, gain knowledge and solve business problems,” he said. Rakometsi said they plan on hosting similar breakfasts monthly following the forthcoming event. To register and for more information, call 060-421-1113 or email ralcomgroup.sa@gmail.com.
