Ma ook in hof oor kind (2) Madli Grobbelaar madli.grobbelaar@volksblad.com
Slegs twee maande ná die inhegtenisneming van Gerrie Martin (49) en Joanne Davis (42) wat aangekla word van die aanranding van ’n tweejarige kind, het die 24-jarige ma van die kind ook in die hof verskyn. Die ma het op Vrydag 4 Augustus in die Virginia-landdroshof verskyn op aanklagte van nalatigheid en die versuim om die aanranding van haar tweejarige kind aan te meld. Tydens die ondersoek het dit aan die lig gekom dat sy vermoed het dat Martin die tweejarige kind erg mishandel. Sy word ook aangekla omdat sy die twee minderjarige kinders in Martin en sy verloofde Joanne Davis se sorg gelaat het met die wete dat hy die kind aanrand. Die ma word ook ingevolge die Kinderwet, Wet 38 van 2005, aangekla omdat sy nie mediese hulp vir die tweejarige gekry het nadat hy aangerand en ernstig beseer is nie. Dit was ook die ma se plig om die nodige maatreëls te tref of om hulp in te roep om die veiligheid en welsyn van haar kind te verseker. Sy is wetlik aanspreeklik om te alle tye haar kinders te versorg en hul veiligheid te verseker. Volgens die wet het sy onwettig en opsetlik versuim om die genoemde aan haar kind te voorsien. Martin en Davis is op Donderdag 15 Junie in hegtenis geneem nadat kennisse die owerhede ontbied het, omdat die kind in hul sorg erg mishandel is. Die kind en sy vyfjarige boetie is in hul sorg geplaas omdat die 24-jarige ma nie finansieel na die kinders kon omsien nie. Martin se saak is tot Donderdag 31 Aug Augustus uitgestel. Die ma en Davis sal weer op Dinsdag 22 Augustus in die Virginialanddroshof verskyn. J Joanne Davis.

Wells developed Gasfields richest source of helium in the world Marti Will mwill@volksblad.com
The exciting and groundbreaking R650 million Tetra 4, a subsidiary to Renergen Limited, is South Africa’s first and only onshore petroleum production right holder. The Tetra 4 gas wells are currently being developed outside of Virginia, Matjhabeng. By November 2016 the company had already discovered 35 billion cubic feet of gas reserve. What makes the gasfields in Matjhabeng unique is that they are regenerating and the gas discovered here has an 11% helium component, making it the richest source of helium in the world.
Tetra 4 has a proven reserve equivalent to 1 billion litres of diesel, and a further potential 9 billion litre equivalent waiting to be extracted. Tetra 4 began production in May 2016, supplying compressed natural gas to Megabus at its depot in Virginia. “Tetra 4 is not only developing the Free State gasfields, but is also bringing added value through assisting customers with vehicle conversions to compressed natural gas,” says Stefano Marani, chief executive officer of Renergen. By May 2017 Tetra 4 delivered an uncontested environmental impact assesment for a pipeline construction. June 2017 saw the completion of a front-end engineering design for

the pipeline, and by the fourth quarter of 2017 the company will commence pipeline construction, and an intensive drilling campaign will be launched. By 2019 a fully fledged helium facility will be up and running right here in the Goldfields. This plant will supply 100% of South Africa’s helium. The advent of Tetra 4 in Virginia augurs a 2,3% growth for the Matjhabeng economy. “The plant may add 4,8% GDP to the local economy within a year of its construction,” says Marani. Apart from the wells Tetra 4 already has, the company is planning to drill an extra 200 wells over the next five years.
