Biefstuk ook eersdaags op hul “spyskaart” Besoekers aan Ocean Basket in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) sal eersdaags nou ook biefstuk kan bestel. “Ocean Basket het toegestem dat ons ‘n deel van die restaurant afsny om daarin ‘n afsonderlike besigheid te vestig,” het eienaar Johan Kirsten gesê. Eersdaags sal OJ’s Steak Out operasioneel wees en sal biefstuk en allerhande ander watertandgeregte beskikbaar wees. “Die idee het ontstaan toe van my vriende vir my genoem het dat hulle kinders nie seekos eet nie, of daar is iemand in ‘n groep wat allergies is vir seekos. Ons het besluit om ‘n wegneemete-plek

met ‘n beperkte vleisspyskaart in te rig,” het Johan gesê. In sekere winkelkomplekse is die seekos restaurant en die biefstuk restaurant regs langs mekaar en hulle bestel oor en weer. Inwoners van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) en besoekers sal dus ook nou hierdie voorreg geniet. OJ’s Steak Out is ook nie net sommer enige biefstukplek nie. “Alle steaks is vir 21 tot 28 dae verouder en individueel vakuumverpak. Die kliënt kan selfs sy stuk vleis in die uitstal-yskas kom uitsoek indien hy dit sou verkies. Ons doel is om hoë gehalte kos te bedien; jy moenie lekkerder kan kry nie!” het Johan gesê. Buiten die verskillende

biefstuksoorte, sal OJ’s Steak Out ander lekker kos aanbied, insluitende ribbetjies, schnitzels, hoender en hoendervlerkies, asook tuisgemaakte hamburgers en kaasburgers. Daar kan ook garnale en calamari bygevoeg word. Gaste by die seekosrestaurant kan ook van OJ’s se geregte bestel, wat vir hulle bedien sal word. Johan gee graag erkenning aan Dries Briers wat met die konsep van die toebou van die een gedeelte van die bestaande restaurant vorendag gekom het. Diegene wie se monde al water en meer inligting wil hê, kan Johan skakel by 084 588 2014.

Brand verwoes tweede onderneming in ‘n maand

Vir die tweede keer in net minder as ‘n maand het ‘n brand ‘n onderneming in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) in puin gelê. Die verwoestende brand het Saterdag, 5 Julie, by LTT Algemene Handelaars Waste Recyclers in Industriastraat uitgebreek en inwoners en reddingsdienspersoneel het skouer-aan-skouer geveg om die vlamme te bestry. LTT Algemene Handelaars grens aan Afrox, ‘n handelaar in gasprodukte, en daar is geskarrel om te verhoed dat die brand na Afrox se perseel versprei. In ‘n stadium was die situasie so kritiek dat die polisie omstanders en helpers moes vra om die area te ontruim. Intussen het dit gegons op die sosiale mediafront, met inwoners wat seker was dat dit Afrox was wat gebrand het. Die brand het ongeveer om 16:00 uitgebreek. “Ek het swart vonke gesien, mense hoor skreeu en toe sien weghardloop van daai plek [LTT Algemene Handelaars]. Toe was daar ‘n ontploffing – dit was die trokke wat aan die brand geraak het. Ek was baie bang en het die brandweer gebel,” het ‘n sekuriteitswag by Afrox vertel. Afrox het glo die dag voor die brand ‘n vol bestelling gas ontvang wat hulle stoor in ‘n groot industriële tenk – ‘n klipgooi van die brand af. LTT Algemene Handelaars is die familiebesigheid van die Lee-gesin. Tienie Lee en sy vrou,

Ina, was Saterdag op hul plaas gewees. Werner, wat na sy pa se aftrede die besigheid begin bestuur het, was op Vaalwater gewees om ‘n wildveiling by te woon. Derhalwe het vriende en familie self ingespring om die Lee’s te help in hul afwesigheid. Hulp het van orals gekom. Terwyl die Makhado Brandweerstasie aan die Afrox-kant die gasbottels deurlopend natgespuit het, het privaat voertuie wat toegerus is met watertenks die vlamme binne-in die perseel in toom probeer hou. Die hulp van LMB Makhado se brandweer is ook ingeroep. Twee vragmotors van die Lee’s het tydens die brand ontplof. Vriende van Werner en sy pa kon egter daarin slaag om hulle kantoorinhoud te red deur die kantoordeur met ‘n bakkie af te ruk. Belangrike dokumente, gereedskap en rekenaars is uitgedra en op bakkies gelaai. Die vuur is na ‘n paar uur se gespook uiteindelik onder beheer gekry. Teen Maandag was die Lee’s besig om op te ruim. Die presiese omvang van die skade kon nie gegee word nie, omdat ‘n versekeringsassessor nog besig was met ‘n ondersoek. “Ons weet nie hoe die brand ontstaan het nie,” het Tienie Maandag aan die koerant gesê. Tienie kon nie die sekuriteitswag se storie bevestig dat die brand moontlik by die vragmotors ontstaan het nie. “Ons wag ook maar vir die ondersoek om afgehandel te word.” Hy het almal bedank wat gehelp het om die brand te blus. “Baie dankie dat julle (daar is te veel om almal se name te noem) julle middag afgestaan het om ons te help,” het hy gesê. Saterdag se brand by LTT Algemene Handelaars volg minder as ‘n maand ná nog ‘n vernietigende brand by ‘n onderneming. CheckOut, ‘n groothandel maatskappy, het op 8 Junie in die sentrale sakegebied afgebrand. Dit het intussen aan die lig Inwoners het saam met die plaaslike brandweer gekom dat hierdie brand moontlik deur ‘n elektriese geveg om die brand onder beheer te kry sodat kortsluiting veroorsaak is. dié gasbottels van Afrox nie ook aan die brand Lesers kan op www.zoutpansberger.co.za na nog raak nie. foto’s en ‘n video van die brand gaan kyk.

Dit is die toneel wat brandbestryders begroet het nadat ‘n brand Saterdag by LTT Algemene Handelaars uitgebreek het.

Brandweermanne van die Makado Lugmagbasis se hulp is ingeroep om ook te kom help om die brand onder beheer te kry.

Jong ma oorlede ná sy by gimnasium inmekaarsak

Wyle Annemarie (Anna) Thomson.

In Memoriam

Legendariese tannie Hester oorlede Een van die Soutpansberg se formidabele boervroue, wat in lewe saam met haar man legendariese status bereik het, is Maandag oorlede. Tannie Hester Lombard, eggenote van wyle oom Hans Lombard, is op 7 Julie na ‘n lang stryd met Alzheimers in die Ons Tuiste-inrigting in Pretoria in die ouderdom van 86 oorlede. Tannie Hester, gebore op 10 Januarie 1928, het op Levubu grootgeword. As jong vrou het sy vir jare by die Louis Trichardt Magistraatskantoor gewerk. Sy is later met die eweneens legendariese oom Hans Lombard van die plaas Sandfontein getroud. Hy was self ‘n pioniersfiguur van die Soutpansberg, wat op sewejarige ouderdom in die laat 1920’s saam met sy familie na die streek verhuis het. Saam het wyle oom Hans en wyle tannie Hester ‘n voorslagspan gemaak en het hulle met absolute deursettingsvermoë die plaas getem, waar hulle met avokado’s, pekanneute en hoenders geboer het. Wyle oom Hans het ook boerderybelange by Kranspoort gehad, waar hy met beeste geboer het en was tot op 60-jarige ouderdom ook aan die stuur by die bekende Stasie Vervoer besigheid en

Wyle tannie Hester Lombard (86).

Sandfontein Transport. Die Lombard-egpaar was nie net baie gerespekteer deur hulle eie volksgenote nie, maar ook deur die Venda-gemeenskap. So het hulle wyle oom Hans aangespreek as die “Groot Kaptein” en het baie van die plaaslike bevolking steeds hul weg gevind na die Lombards se woning nadat hulle dorp toe getrek het. Dit was egter op geestelik vlak waar die Lombard-gesin die meeste respek afgedwing het. Beide was diep gelowige mense wat hul Christenskap op alle fronte van die samelewing uitgeleef het. As kerkmense het die egpaar diep spore getrap. Wyle oom Hans was aan die voorpunt met die bou van die NG Kerk Soutpansberg in 1954 en hy het ook ‘n groot rol gespeel om ‘n geskiedkundige kerkklok by die gemeente uit te kry vir die kerk se 21-jarige feesviering. Die Lombards het ook toegesien dat die evangelie weekliks gebring is aan al hul plaaswerkers. Wyle oom Hans het tannie Hester op 12 Junie 2009 ontval, ‘n dag na hul 60ste huweliksherdenking. Die egpaar was toe vir ‘n kort tydperk woonagtig by Loeriepark. “Kort na sy dood is Ma met Alzheimers gediagnoseer en is sy later opgeneem in die Ons Tuiste oord in Pretoria. Haar gesondheid het die afgelope paar jaar dramaties agteruitgegaan,” het dogter Amanda Dinsdag gesê. Wyle tannie Hester word oorleef deur haar dogter en skoonseun, Amanda en Hermann Jansen van Rensburg, en kleinseuns Jurgens (27) en Christoff (23), asook dogter en skoonseun Noëlene en Somerset Morkel, en kleindogter Nola (16). ‘n Roudiens is Woensdag, 9 Julie, vir haar vanuit die N.G. Kerk Soutpansberg gehou. Die diens is waargeneem deur prof. Koos van Rooy. Die familie het hul opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor alle familie en vriende vir hul boodskappe van vertroosting en ondersteuning met die nuus van tannie Hester se dood. “Ons wil graag vir ons ma dankie sê vir die opvoeding wat ons gekry het en dat sy ons geleer het wie die Here is. Die Here was haar alles gewees en dit is ook ons Here,” het dogters Amanda en Noëlene gesê.

In Memoriam

Tannie Maria se plekkie is nou leeg Die 82-jarige tannie Maria Venter se plekkie in haar huis in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) is leeg, nadat sy skielik oorlede is. “Sy was glad nie ‘n sieklike mens nie en dit was vir ons ‘n skok,” sê haar kleindogter, mev.

Elsie Brandt. Haar ouma is op 26 Junie na ‘n kort siekbed van vier dae oorlede. “Sy is in die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal opgeneem vir brongitis en sy is aan hartversaking oorlede,” sê Elsie. Maria Magrieta Venter is op 13 Oktober 1931 in die Paarl gebore. Vier seuns en een dogter is uit haar huwelik gebore. “Sy en my oupa het in die vroeë tagtigergare na Louis Trichardt verhuis en hy is kort daarna oorlede,” sê Elsie. Onder die oorlewende kinders is me. Elsie Venter van Polokwane en mnr. Willie Venter, wat saam met sy ma in die huis gewoon Wyle Maria Magrieta Venter het. Ouma Maria het ook haar kleindogter, Elsie, en kleinseun (82).

Frikkie Venter, wat in die dorp woon, naby haar gehad. “Ouma Maria was ‘n spontane mens, wat uit haar pad gegaan het om ander te help en nooit nee gesê het as iemand hulp vra nie,” sê Elsie. Tannie Maria het ook baie naaldwerk gedoen en sy was lief daarvoor om lekker nageregte te bak en te eet. “Baie mense sal haar onthou as die klein tannietjie wat altyd dorp toe gestap het, haar kruideniersware gekoop het en dan weer teruggeloop het,” sê Elsie. Wyle Maria Venter is op 2 Julie deur ds. Jan Pretorius vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente begrawe. Sy laat haar kinders, ses kleinkinders en tien agterkleinkinders agter.

Die onverwagte afsterwe van ‘n jong vrou en moeder van die Soutpansberg het skokgolwe deur die gemeenskap gestuur. Wyle Annemarie Thomson (38) se bedroefde eggenoot en familie dink hartseer aan haar borrelende geaardheid en pragtige glimlag. “Sy het elke dag passievol geleef,” sê die familie. Hulle is geskok en verslae nadat Anna, soos sy algemeen bekend was, verlede Donderdagmiddag by die gimnasium tydens ‘n oefensessie inmekaargesak het. Mond-tot-mond-asemhaling en hartmassering is onmiddellik op haar toegepas. “Sy is inderhaas na die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal geneem, waarna sy aan natuurlike oorsake dood is. Daar word ‘n na-doodse ondersoek gedoen om die oorsaak te bepaal,” het die familie gesê. Annamarie Jordaan is op 4 Januarie 1976 in Louis Trichardt gebore, was ‘n leerling by Laerskool Louis Trichardt en het in 1994 aan die Hoërskool Louis Trichardt gematrikuleer. Sy is in 2001 met Mark Thomson getroud en drie pragtige dogters is uit die huwelik gebore, Tenica (8), Cheali (5) en Kaylin (2). Die gesin is woonagtig op Lugmagbasis Makhado. Mark is ‘n vlugsersant wat die afgelope 21 jaar by 3 Versieningseenheid werk en tans vakleerlinge oplei in die elektriese aspekte van vliegtuie. “Anna was ‘n voorbeeldige vrou en moeder wie se familie vir haar nommer een was,” sê Mark.

Daarmee stem die familie heelhartig saam. “Anna was ‘n ware ‘voorbeeld mamma’. Sy sou enige iets vir haar gesin doen en vir almal vir wie sy omgegee het. Ons het haar altyd gesien met haar kinders aan haar sy. Niks was ooit te veel of te moeilik vir haar met haar dogters by haar nie,” sê Anna se suster, Jani Horn. Jani vertel dat die agtjarige Tenica dadelik begin het om haar pappa te help met die versorging van die kleiner sussies. Anna het ‘n administratiewe pos by die lugmagbasis beklee en was ‘n debiteureklerk by die NPF-afdeling (Non-public Funds). Wyle Anna word oorleef deur haar man, drie dogters, moeder Marietha Jordaan Vreugdenburg, suster Jani en broer Eddie Jordaan, wat in die VSA woonagtig is en terug gevlieg het om die begrafnis te kan bywoon. Die begrafnis vind op Vrydag, 11 Julie, om 10:00 vanuit die N.G. Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente plaas en word waargeneem deur ds. Johan Fourie. Mark en familie bedank Felix en Lee Malan en almal by Open Doors vir hul vinnige optrede en hulp, dr. Anneke Malan en die personeel van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal, almal in die gemeenskap vir die oproepe en SMS’e en die gemeenskap van die lugmagbasis vir al die kospakkies wat aangedra word.

Jong sanger bring hoop met liedjies Cohen Miller is ‘n jong stem hier uit die Soutpansberg-streek wat vinnig besig is om van hom te laat hoor in die vermaaklikheidsbedryf. Tuis hier in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) ken almal vir Cohen beter as SP Miller. Die eens skaam seun, wat aan die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg gematrikuleer het, het die afgelope week sy eerste Afrikaanse enkelsnit, Stof, vrygestel. Stof is ‘n liefdesliedjie uit Cohen se eie pen, waarmee hy sy dieper kant wys. Die musiekvideo is in neutrale kleure en minimalistiese kamerawerk geskiet, sodat jy jou eindelik verluister aan die lirieke. Op die video speel Cohen self ook klavier, terwyl hy sing. Die video is Maandag vir die eerste keer op Youtube uitgesaai en is teen die einde van die dag meer as 700 keer gekyk. “Dit is ongelooflik ... ek is so trots op die video, en net geseën oor die reaksie wat ek al gekry het,” het Cohen Dinsdag in ‘n onderhoud met die Zoutpansberger gesê. Hy was Dinsdag druk besig om voor te berei vir ‘n volgende verhoogstuk, maar het ‘n paar minute afgeknyp om te gesels oor sy loopbaan en oor Stof. Vir Stof het hy self die klavier

ook gespeel. Hy het homself al die basiese akkoorde geleer op ‘n klawerbord toe hy 19 jaar oud was. “Dis eers by M.A.D. (Michelle Ayden Dramatix) dat ‘n dosent my eendag gehoor speel het en gesê het ek moet klavierlesse ook neem – en dis baie lekker; ek ken nou nie net meer die basiese tegnieke nie,” vertel Cohen. So tussen al die opnames en kleedrepetisies deur is Cohen ook nog ‘n derdejaar dramastudent aan die M.A.D. akademie in Centurion. Dit is ook hoe lank terug hy van die plaas af stad toe verhuis het om sy drome na te jaag. “Die plaas is in my hart, dit is waar ek grootgeword het,” het SP vertel. Dit is ook hoe hy besluit het op sy verhoognaam, Cohen. Dié naam is ‘n stukkie familie geskiedenis wat hy saam met hom dra. Dit was sy oupa Jan Koen se troetelnaam vir sy ma en ouma – Missies Cohen – om hulle beter te laat voel. ‘n Bonus was dat die naam ook histories gegee is aan Joodse priesters. “Werkers in die geloof, standvastige mense,” sê SP. “Toe besluit ek op Cohen vir Koen en Miller om altwee my oupas se nalatenskap oor te dra.” By M.A.D. het SP die kans gekry om sy dans-, drama- en

sangtalent te slyp. Oor sy musiek gesels SP net so lekker. Dit is sy manier om stories te vertel; al van kleintyd af. “Ek wil stories vertel – nie net myne nie maar ook ander s’n – en so mense inspireer. Ek wil vir mense sê daar is hoop, moenie opgee nie, jy is nie ‘n freak nie. Jy is nie gemaak om in te pas nie maar om uit te staan, en met die genade van God kan ek nou daai boodskap deur my liedjies uitleef,” sê SP. Met SP se vergunning kan lesers na Stof se video gaan kyk op die Zoutpansberger se webblad op www.zoutpansberger. co.za.

11 July 2014 N1 noord by die Witvlag-afdraai.

Saterdagmiddag is twee voertuie bykans afgeskryf op die hoek van Akasia- en Elandstraat, ook omdat die stoptekens al weke gelede verwyder is. Padveiligheid

Deur Andries van Zyl

Waar is die verkeersbeamptes dan? Meegaande foto’s is die afgelope maand geneem deur ‘n gereelde padgebruiker tussen Makhado (Louis Trichardt) en Musina. “Nooit maar nooit is daar verkeersbeamptes naby wat die pad monitor nie. Daar is etlike jare laas ‘n spoedlokval gestel, ten spyte daarvan dat die N1 deur motoriste as ‘n renbaan gebruik word. Ek sien en beleef daagliks in die twee ure wat ek op die pad is tussen agt en 12 keer die verbysteek teen die sperstreep. Soms tot vier keer deur dieselfde motoris,” sê mnr. Carel Breytenbach. Wat Breytenbach egter die meeste ontstel, is die feit dat hyself toe ‘n spoedkaartjie kry omdat hy 75km/h in ‘n 80km/h sone gery het. Hy was sowat twee weke gelede van Musina op pad terug na Makhado (Louis Trichardt) toe hy deur die verkeerspolisie, wat daagliks motoriste net buite die dorp by die verkeersirkel voorlê, afgetrek is. Hy is ‘n kaartjie uitgereik wat sê dat hy 75km/h in die 60km/h sone gery het. “Toe ek merk dat die lesingafstand op die spoedkaartjie aangedui word as 382 meter, het ek reeds hond se gedagte gehad. ‘n Meting met my bakkie het my vermoede verder versterk. ‘n Fisiese meting met ‘n 50 meter bouersmaatband het my vermoede bevestig. Die afstand vanaf die inligtingsbord [waaragter die verkeersbeamptes geskuil het] tot by die eerste 60 km/h bord is 367 meter. Dus het hulle die lesing 15 meter binne die 80 km/h sone geneem,” sê Breytenbach. Sy raad aan motoriste is om seker te maak van die afstand waarop hulle gevang word. Nodeloos om te sê, hy het ‘n vertoë teen sy kaartjie gerig. N1 noord na Musina by die Lêboom.

Soutpansberg-bergpas - Ongeduld met vrag motors het al talle ongelukke veroorsaak.

Is die dorp besig om in wetteloosheid te verval? Is Makhado (Louis Trichardt) op pad na ‘n staat van absolute wettelose verval? Menige inwoner het hulself al dié vraag afgevra, veral ten opsigte van die wetteloosheid op die dorp se paaie. Selde word daar by stopstrate gestop, en soos een leser onlangs opgemerk het: “Stop jy by ‘n stopstraat, dan is die kanse goed dat jy dalk ‘n ongeluk gaan veroorsaak!” Die probleem word deurlopend vererger deur boosdoeners en vandale wat kort-kort blykbaar groot genot daarin vind om bestaande stoptekens by kruisings te verwyder, ongeag die moontlik noodlottige gevolge wat dit vir motoriste inhou. Sowat drie weke gelede is feitlik al die oorblywende stoptekens in hoofsaaklik Elandstraat, maar ook in Munnikstraat, deur iemand verwyder of beskadig. Op Dinsdag, 24 Junie, het die Zoutpansberger die Makhado Munisipaliteit versoek om duidelikheid te gee of hulle ooit die stoptekens weer gaan vervang. ‘n Lys van kruisings waar stoptekens verwyder is, is aan die munisipaliteit verskaf. Hulle is ook gevra of hulle gaan verantwoordelikheid aanvaar vir enige lewensverlies of beserings wat inwoners opdoen weens die vermiste stoptekens. Daar is in die medianavraag aan hulle uitgewys dat vermiste stoptekens op die hoek van Alwyn- en Leeustraat reeds op 31 Maart aanleiding gegee het tot ‘n ernstige ongeluk, maar steeds is nog geen poging aangewend om hierdie stoptekens te vervang nie. So ook is die stoptekens by die besige Baobab- en Elandstraatkruising ook nog nie vervang nie. Dit ten spyte van die feit dat die Zoutpansberger reeds op 26 Maart persoonlik die munisipale bestuurder, mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali, versoek het om die probleem reg te stel en lewensverlies te verhoed. Mutshinyali het aangedui

dat hy dadelik daaraan sal aandag gee. Tot op hede het daar egter nog niks gebeur nie. Saterdagmiddag is twee voertuie bykans afgeskryf op die hoek van Akasia- en Elandstraat, ook omdat die stoptekens al weke gelede verwyder is. “Ek het julle mos gesê hier gaan ‘n ongeluk kom,” het ‘n nabygeleë inwoner, mnr. Heine de Jager, ná die ongeluk opgemerk. Buiten die stoptekens wat aan beide kante van Elandstraat oor Akasiastraat vermis word, is die padmerke wat die stopteken aandui bykans onsigbaar. Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het hierdie week, na verskeie oproepe om te reageer, eindelik kommentaar gelewer. Op die vraag of hulle bewus is van die vandalisme en of hulle die saak by die polisie aangemeld het, was daar geen antwoord gewees nie. So ook het hulle nie reageer op die vraag of die munisipaliteit gaan verantwoordelikheid aanvaar vir enige lewensverlies of beserings by die probleemkruisings nie. Al wat munisipale woordvoerder mnr. Louis Bobodi gesê het, was dat hulle moontlik voor die einde van Julie die vermiste stoptekens sal vervang, aangesien hulle nuwe materiaal aangekoop het. Hy het ook aangedui dat hulle die staalpale waarop die stoptekens gemonteer word met houtpale gaan vervang, aangesien die staal gesteel word deur mense wat sukkel om ‘n lewe vir hulself te maak. Die Zoutpansberger se raad aan inwoners, ten minste tot die stoptekens vervang word, is: Stop eerder by elke kruising, al is daar nie ‘n stopstraat nie.

There was an outcry from the side of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) about the continued cutting down of trees in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). “It is too late for some of my beloved trees. However, if we do not act now, there will not be a single tree left in Makhado (Louis Trichardt),” said Mr Stephan Gaigher on 8 July. He was told by a municipal contractor that the municipality did not have enough money to trim the trees in the streets every year and was summarily cutting down all the trees under the power lines. The process was started in the Die stopteken op die hoek van die besige Bauhinia- en Elandstraat het ook die naweek van 21 “downtown” area.

Lots of challenges facing businesses The Soutpansberg Chamber of Commerce from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) was well represented during a SACCI (South African Chamber of Commerce) SMME Summit in Polokwane on 19 June. The summit was arranged by SACCO, the Polokwane Chamber of Business, as well as the chambers of Mokopane and Makhado (Louis Trichardt). During the summit, various banks and government departments shared some interesting and valuable information. ABSA noted that four out of every 10 businesses close their doors

ment & Tourism (LEDET). To qualify, an applicant has to be a South African citizen; must have the necessary experience and a business plan which projects a profit. The applicant can also not have any other business interest. Important to remember is that the fund does not finance trusts of public companies. The loan amount also has to be between R50 000 and R3 million. Also represented at the summit was ESCOM. They invited the audience to visit their “ESCOM tender bulletin” regularly for possible tenders. Nedbank also supports small businesses with a annual turnover of R500 000 to R10 million. They talked more about the challenges entrepreneurs face, including access to workers; financial acumen; business formalization; access to support services; and lack of collateral budgeting. Business constraints highlighted by Nedbank were crime and corruption (47%); fear of failure (38%); electricity issues (15%), access to finances (7%), inadequate skilled labour (6%) and labour regulations (5%).

within the first year, another three within the second year and only one out of ten will make it to five years. This begged the question why so many businesses fail? Among the reason given were poor financial management; lack of market knowledge; lack of knowledge about bookkeeping; staffing problems; problems with the unions; poor marketing techniques, poor technical management; and a lack of leadership within management. Summit goers also heard that Innovative Funding had launched an SME fund with Limpopo Economic Development Environ-

The oldest living Rotarian in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) celebrated a very special wedding anniversary this week. Mr Ronnie Roux (88) and his wife Zoe (84) tied the knot on 9 July 1949 in Springs. This week, the Rotarians celebrated with them in their home in Rivier Street on their 65th anniversary. The Rouxs came to Louis Trichardt in 1964 after 10 fruitful and successful years in the then Northern Rhodesia. “Our object was to put up a cotton factory here and get farmers to produce cotton,” said Ronnie, a successful businessman and retired managing director of Tongaat Hulett’s cotton division. He was supposed to have retired in Tongaat but he preferred to stay in Louis Trichardt. When Ronnie retired at age 65, Zoe was still working as a receptionist for Coxwell and Steyn, a position she had held for 25 years. Ronnie immersed himself in carpentry, which helped him in the retirement process. “I am the oldest living Rotarian and the oldest mason in town. I told Zoe the other day that I now know more dead people than I know living people,” said Ronnie with a wink. Ronnie had known Zoe from their high school days in Springs, he being her senior, of course. It was, however, at church guild meetings on Friday evenings that the friendship started to blossom. By

then, Ronnie was already a working young man. “It just grew on me. And when we were married, I was 23 and she was 19. I was called a cradle snatcher, but soon afterwards she turned 20,” Ronnie said. The couple have two daughters and three grandchildren. What is their secret to being a couple for 65 years? “Love and respect. Actually, caring love and respect. It is the caregiving that counts. Caregiving is more intense than any job that I ever had and I am not going to give it up,” said Ronnie, who takes care of his beloved Zoe, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a couple of years ago. “Zoe is the most amazing person,” said Ronnie and added that she had never lost her charm. Zoe still enjoys walking and had reached great heights in sport. “She was an acrobatic dancer and the fastest girl in Springs High. In Standard 8, she played for the Eastern Transvaal Senior women’s hockey team,” said Ronnie, who in turn had played good amateur rugby and had Danie Craven as a personal friend. “We love being part of this community,” said Ronnie. Later this month, when Zoe turns 85 on 24 July, they will travel to Pretoria to celebrate with their family.

En wat is daai skoene wat so rooi is onder? En parfuum! Al die ontwerpers se parfuum! In dosyne handsakke...” “I have created a monster,” sug Bernard gelukkig.

ie apostel Paulus was in sy jong dae ‘n goeie Fariseër, en trots daarop. Maar Paulus moes leer dat goeie werke, sy gehoorsaamheid aan die wet, hom nie kon red nie. God verwag van Sy kinders om heilig te lewe. (1 Petrus 1:15-16). “Nee, soos Hy wat julle geroep het, heilig is, moet julle ook in julle lewenswandel heilig wees. Daar staan immers geskrywe: wees heilig, want Ek is heilig.” Jesus sê in Matt. 5:48: “Wees julle dan volmaak soos julle hemelse Vader volmaak is.” Dit kan ons nie self doen nie. Ons kan onsself nie red of heilig maak nie. Paulus het gedink deur ‘n goeie Fariseër te wees sou hom in die hemel bring. Niks wat ons doen kan vir ons ‘n plek in die hemel verkry nie, ons kan dit slegs kry deur God se genade. (Lees Efesiërs 2:8-9) Wanneer ons ons geloof in Christus stel, word Sy geregtigheid on geregtigheid, en God kyk na ons deur Jesus ons Verlosser. Die profeet Jeremia noem Hom: “Die Here ons Geregtigheid.”(OV) - 079 5168303 Notice

Makoya team promises successful 2014 show

Robbie Ehlers (links) het by die Country en Gospel musiekaand op 6 Julie by Shammah Bedieninge in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) gesing. Saam met hom is sy vriendin, Chané Jordaan. “Die aand was ‘n groot sukses en ons beoog om dit ‘n instelling te maak,” het pastoor Francois Strydom van Shammah gesê. Foto verskaf.

This year’s Makhado Show promises to be an event worth remembering, and the artists lined up to perform include Kuniyuki Takahashi, Jack Zwarts and local South African deejays, including Heavy K and Sir Makleker. As was the case in previous years, the event organisers are Makoya Multi Media. Vhahangwele Netshifhefhe from Makoya said an immense amount of time went into the planning of this year’s show. He promised that the show will provide leisure time for the whole family, with entertainment for adults and the young ones. The show will commence on Thursday (July 31) with the mayoral street parade, fanfare and mayoral soccer tournament and will end on Saturday night (August 2). Apart from the music and entertainment for the adults, the company has organised several activities with the young ones in mind. Activities like a merry-go-round, swings, car drifting (Ma-

gusheshe), 4x4 challenges, candy shops, biker displays and many more will provide amusement. The exhibitors include the Limpopo premier’s office, the Vhembe district municipality, academic institutions, private companies, local business enterprises and many more. “We have received wonderful assistance from the show community, the Local Economic Development (LED) department, the municipality and other essential stakeholders from the community and we have improved,” said Mr Netshifhefhe. He said they had lined up several internationally acclaimed musicians and deejays who would perform alongside local ones. “We will go beyond just an ordinary stage artist set-up to a full stage production,” he added. As far as the noise is concerned, the organisers will endeavour to keep it to the minimum throughout the show. “We are communicating with all the stakeholders to keep the noise levels down,” he added.

Make every day Mandela Day - SANBS Once again, the global community will celebrate Mandela Day on 18 July, a day on which citizens the world over are called on to give 67 minutes of their time to making a difference in the communities in which they live. The year 2014 is particularly symbolic as citizens strive to keep the legacy of this great statesman alive and make every day a Mandela Day. The message is simple for Mandela Month – that each individual

has the ability and responsibility to have a positive impact every day. In support of this, the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) is calling on all South Africans to make a difference by donating blood. The objective of this campaign is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world and the lives of others for the better. Blood donation is one of the simplest ways to make a sustainable difference to the lives of others and it is something you

can continue to do every 56 days. To become a blood donor, you must be between the ages of 16 and 65 years old; weigh more than 50kg; have eaten a good meal before donating; lead a sexually safe lifestyle; and be healthy on the day of donation. For more information, visit www.sanbs.org.za, call 0800 11 9031 or SMS your name and postal code to 31454 to find out where your nearest donor centre is.

“Spend less on parties” “The municipality should spend less on parties and functions and more on infrastructure,” was the comment of the Democratic Alliance, following this year’s state-of-the-municipality address presented by the mayor of the Makhado Municipality on 27 June. DA Cllr Brian Du Plooy congratulated the council on the fact that the budget had been cut back, but urged them to curb their expenditure on parties also. “Yes, acknowledge people and their needs, but cut back on expenses at functions. It is fine to host events, but make sure that service delivery comes first,” said Du Plooy. The general expenditure is R138 million in a budget where the total expenditure is R746 million. The expenditure on infrastructure is R160 million. Council has budgeted an income of R35 million from property rates on its total income of R770 million. The DA criticized the way in which council had issued a new valuation roll where the value of some properties was doubled or trebled. “The cent-in-the-rand rate should have been kept the same as on the previous valuation roll. The municipality will earn more than enough income on the increase in valuations and should not have raised the tariffs on top of the increase in value. The burden is getting too much for the ratepayer, who has to pay an increased tariff, calculated on an increased valuation. It is not profitable to milk the only cow that produces a little milk until she is dry,” Du Plooy said. The intention to freeze debts in the R293

towns was opposed by the DA as being against all regulations. “The programme which announced the intention to freeze the payments of debts of services alleged not to be rendered in R293 towns did not yield the expected results,” the mayor, David Mutavhatsindi, said. Du Plooy said that according to National Treasury regulations, Council cannot freeze any debts. “The residents of the R293 towns are still liable for the monies outstanding to the municipality. The debt can only be written off if the person is deceased or cannot be traced and the debt is irrecoverable. Council needs to enforce its credit control policy fully in the recovering of debts,” said Du Plooy and added that recovering the R200 million of outstanding debts could be a positive cash injection for the municipality. Mutavhatsindi also announced that the annual Makhado Show will take place at the show grounds from 31 July to 2 August. “There is only one Makhado Annual Show. No other show must take place to confuse our residents,” Mutavhatsindi said. The DA strongly opposed the latter statement and said that it was unconstitutional to make such statements. “This is not professional, and each group has the constitutional right to organize their own events,” Du Plooy said. The DA also said that council should understand that it exists to deliver services to all communities, irrespective of politics. “Council should not politicize everything but realize that there are many political groupings in Council,” Du Plooy said.

SBBV waarsku teen “tenderpreneurs” In reaksie op die Makhado Munisipaliteit se begrotingsrede het die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging (SBBV) gesê hulle sien uit na die implementering van die toerismeplan, maar dat hulle bekommerd is omdat gewetenlose “tenderpreneurs” die dorp laat agteruitgaan. Die burgemeester, Raadslid David Mutavhatsindi, het op 27 Junie tydens sy begrotingsrede op Dzanani gesê dat ‘n toerisme-ontwikkelingsplan in vennootskap met ander toerisme rolspelers en –instellings aangepak sal word. “Dit sluit in om ons toerisme produk-eienaars te bevorder, sodat hulle aan plaaslike en internasionale toerismegeleenthede kan deelneem. So sal ons Makhado (Louis Trichardt) as ‘n gewilde toeristebestemming kan bevorder,” het Mutavhatsindi gesê. Die SBBV stem daarmee saam. “Die implementering en suksesvolle bestuur van ‘n toerismeplan sal baie bydra daartoe om toerisme te bevorder,” het me. Inga Gilfillan, voorsitter van die SBBV, gesê. Toerisme word pertinent genoem in die nuwe visie van die munisipaliteit, wat lui dat dit beoog “om die effektiewe gebruik van ekonomiese bronne te verseker om sodoende sosio-ekonomiese noodsaaklikhede aan te spreek deur die mynbedryf, toerisme en landbou.” Mutavhatsindi het ook gesê dat die munisipaliteit kwaliteit dienste lewer en die SBBV daarvoor geloof dat hulle “agtergekom het dat die weerhouding van dienstegelde … nie die dienste kan verskaf waarvoor hulle reeds veg nie ... Hulle kan getuig dat daar ‘n groot verbetering in dienstelewering is…” het Mutavhatsindi gesê. Die SBBV stem egter nie heeltemal hiermee saam nie. “Die SBBV besef steeds dat die dienste uiters gebrekkig is en die geld wat weerhou is, is as ‘n samewerkingsgebaar oorbetaal. Dienste soos paaie, water en elektrisiteit is steeds ‘n probleem, asook die baie rekeningprobleme wat ons lede ervaar, soos laat en verkeerde en ongespesifiseerde rekeninge,” het Gilfillan gesê. Mutavhatsindi het melding gemaak daarvan dat die munisipaliteit vir die eerste keer in jare ‘n ouditverslag met ‘n gekwalifiseerde opinie vanaf die

ouditeur-generaal gekry het en dat hulle nou werk vir ‘n ongekwalifiseerde opinie (die sogenaamde “skoon” oudit). Die SBBV het die munisipaliteit daaraan herinner dat dieselfde OG-verslag ook melding gemaak het van vrugtelose en verkwistende uitgawes. “Die munisipaliteit behoort dringend hierna te kyk, aangesien dit ‘n kriminele oortreding is,” het Gilfillan gesê. Hoewel die SBBV hulle dank uitspreek vir die gedeeltes waar die strate herstel is, is baie strate steeds besaai met slaggate en gebreekte randstene en hope vullis wat agterbly waar kontrakteurs gewerk het. “Die munisipaliteit se onderhoud van die sentrale dorp laat veel te wense oor. Dit is onnet werk en gewetenlose tenderpreneurs laat ons dorp agteruitgaan en swak vertoon,” het Gilfillan gesê. Die SBBV het hul kommer uitgespreek omdat daar soveel onbeantwoorde vrae hang rondom tenders en kontrakteurs, soos die tender vir die dorp se nuwe waardasierol en die tenders vir die herstel van strate.

News from Musina

Ethel Ramoyada the new Musina mayor Ululations and praise songs were the order of the day when Cllr Mihloti Ethel Ramoyada was sworn in as the new mayor of Musina Municipality during a special council meeting last Thursday. This comes after the resignation of Cllr Carol Phiri as mayor of the border town municipality with effect from 3 July, after being in the hot seat for the past three years. Phiri remains a Proportional Representative (PR) councilor of the ANC in the council. Ramoyada was sworn in by Magistrate Jan du Plessis. In her acceptance speech, Ramoyada said that she was extremely honoured to have been elected mayor and that she gladly accepted the responsibilities entrusted to her. “I am full of expectations and, at the same time, serene and aware of the responsibilities I assume. I am boundlessly grateful to the ANC for empowering me by giving me the

responsibility to make the daily life of Musina people better, and I can hardly keep in my impatience to start.” She said Musina Municipality required many improvements and mentioned the bad roads, unemployment, provision of clean water and electricity and general service delivery. She assured the council that in all her activities, she would be guarded by the principles of the Bible and the Constitution of the country. Ramoyada is a teacher by profession and has a qualification in computer studies, which she obtained in 2004. She recently completed a course in municipal finance management from the University of Pretoria. After relinquishing her teaching profession, Ramoyada worked as Superintendent for Waste, Parks and Recreation in the Musina Municipality. She later became a councillor representing Musina in the Vhembe District Municipality.

Vhembe says situation is improving Apart from the health risks, regular sewage spills are an embarrassment for any town and Makhado (Louis Trichardt) remains no exception. For about two weeks, a local nursery school had to endure such an embarrassing sewage spill. “Sewage push up in our outside drain at times when no one is flushing anything inside and no one is using the kitchen sink,” said Ms Riana Claassens of Saryna Kiddi Care in Celliers Street. While the Zoutpansberger was there, sewage started bubbling out of the kitchen drain. The school obtained the services of an independent plumber, who

assured them that the problem was on the municipality’s side. “A person from the municipality came out on 1 July and remarked, ‘Oh it’s the manhole. It needs to be pumped’,” said Claassens last Friday. At that stage, it had become routine to scoop out the sewage into a bucket and dump it elsewhere. The school has even acquired a pressure sprayer to rinse the area properly because the normal water pressure is too low. When the children play outside, the teachers and staff have to form a line near the spill to cordon it off and see to it that no child comes near the area. “But it is so embar-

A sewage spill resulting from a blockage along the municipal sewerage line created hard work for a nursery school, where the sewage had to be scooped out and the area disinfected. Here Ms Nokuthula Maherani is taking steps to rectify the situation.

rassing for us when our parents see this … It is becoming a crisis for us and a health risk. Hygiene is one of our fundamental pillars. And the smell …” said Claassens. She contacted AfriForum on 27 June and on 3 July, one of the parents contacted DA Cllr Brian du Plooy. On Tuesday this week, Claassens reported that the situation had improved. The Makhado water services manager of the Vhembe District Municipality, Mr David Mukosi, confirmed that the particular sewage problem near the nursery school had been attended to. Mukosi said that the municipality was currently outsourcing some of the plumbing work, with good results. Sewage was also spotted in the vlei area near Stephen Botha crescent and the end of Douthwait Street, just past the vegetable garden of the the correctional services centre. Mukosi said that that was one of the spots that had been outsourced and where the spillage had been stopped, but that it probably needed unblocking again. “The spill in Waterbessie Street has started again,” Mukosi said. In the meantime, the spill in Acacia street has been stopped, as well as one in Kruger/ Rivier Street in the park. “On the whole, the situation regarding sewage spills has improved. The service provider has cleaned the line with a very-highpressure machine,” Mukosi said.

Mr Jakkie du Toit, who retired at the end of June, photographed with his long-time secretary, Ms Suzan Sithole. News from Musina

Du Toit retires after 23 years of service The mayor of Musina Municipality, Cllr Mihloti Ramoyada, thanked the former manager of technical services at the municipality, Mr Jakkie du Toit (64), who retired at the end of June after serving the institution for 23 years. “For the past 23 years, he dedicated his life to the development of this town. It sounds like an exciting opportunity for him, but we still can’t believe he is leaving. He will certainly be missed here,” said Ramoyada. Ramoyada said that Du Toit had done a superb job for the Musina Municipality. “We have no doubt that he will enjoy every

minute of his retirement. He will be missed but never forgotten. We send our best wishes for a fun-filled but relaxing retirement. We thank you, Jakkie, for your dedication, commitment and loyalty to the prosperity of this municipality.” Ms Suzan Sithole, a secretary who worked with Du Toit, mentioned that “When he told me he was retiring, I was sadly moved. I enjoyed my work every day because he was always happy and smiling, no matter what the situation was. Through his dedication and hard work, he has been an inspiration and a role model to younger employ-

ees. If all employees were as hardworking and focused as he, then the world would be a better place.” Du Toit said it was sad to leave the municipality, but it was the right time to do so. “I’m satisfied that I have contributed to the development of this municipality and it is now time to rest. I enjoyed being part of the big municipal family, and I will miss all my colleagues who were an inspiration to me on a daily basis. I have accomplished my mission, and I want to spend the rest of my life with my family.” He thanked the municipality for giving him an opportunity to realize his potential.
