Perdeliefhebber erg emosioneel na hy self sy liefling Arabier moes uitsit na koeëlwond

Dit ruk ‘n man se hart ...

gerunnik, so asof sy desperaat vir oulaas dalk tog nog hulp van my “Toe ek na my perd aangestap kom, vra. Dit ruk aan ‘n man se hart om waar sy dodelik verwond in die veld jou edel, troue dier só te moet sien.” gelê het, het sy nog saggies vir my Bekende perdeliefhebber en

deelnemer aan talle uithou- en pretritte, mnr.

Tielman van den Berg, van Rondebosch by Louis Trichardt, was vandeesweek nog merkbaar aangedaan toe hy praat oor die dood van sy pragdier Colette, ‘n 10-jarige Arabier merrie, wat verlede Dinsdag weens ‘n ernstige koëlwond uitgesit moes word. Die perd se waarde word op R20 000 gestel.

Die oorsprong van die fatale koeëlwond is nog onbekend. Plaasmense sê hulle het die middag omstreeks 15:00 ‘n knal gehoor uit die N1 se rigting, waar verskeie ander huise staan.

Van den Berg het drie perde op sy 10-hektaar hoewe aangehou. Hulle kom elke dag omstreeks 17:00 uit die weiveld terug stal toe, waar hulle saans kos kry en slaap. Hy het Dinsdagaand onraad gemerk toe die diere teen 18:00 nog nie opgedaag het nie. Hy het die perde gaan soek en hulle sowat 600 meter vanaf die huis en ongeveer 100 meter vanaf die lyndraad, aan die suidekant van die hoewe, langs die N1 gevind. Colette, ‘n grys Arabier merrie, kon nie beweeg nie.

“Ek het gevind haar linker voorbeen is vanaf die skouer tot op die hoef vol droë bloed. Haar blad was ook erg geswel. Haar been was af. Sy kon glad nie daarop staan nie. Woensdagoggend het ek haar aangetref waar sy op die grond lê. Sy het baie moeilik opgestaan en ek het toe vir die eerste keer die klein koeëlwond op haar bors gesien, waaruit vars bloed gekom het. Die perd het gestaan en bewe van die pyn met die geswelde blad en die been wat af is in die blad,” vertel Van den Berg. Die twee ander perde het deurentyd by haar in die veld gebly.

“Hulle is merkwaardige tropdiere. Hulle vlug of veg altyd saam,” sê Tielman.

Saam met sy buurman, Danie Louw, het hulle vasgestel dat die koeël nêrens weer uit is nie, dat Mnr. Tielman van den Berg op sy Arabiermerrie Collette, tydens ‘n die been morsaf was en dat die dier op geen manier uithouritbyeenkoms in Maart 2008 by die Capricorn Klub by Kuschke. gered kon word nie.

MEC will help Makhado get clean audit The MEC for Co-operative Government, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (CoGSTA), Mr Clifford Motsepe, promised that he would make sure that all municipalities in the province achieved a clean audit report. Motsepe was speaking during the official inauguration of the newly appointed mayor of Makhado Municipality at an event that was held at the Vyeboom sports grounds on Tuesday.

He said that no excuses would be tolerated in this regard. “I will be working closely with the municipalities in ensuring that we strengthen and instil good financial management,” said Motsepe.

“We must all be crusaders of good governance.

Our clean audit goals are an objective we must achieve,” he said.

Officially inaugurating the new mayor, Motsepe said that all audit queries raised by the auditor general (AG) must be attended to with immediate effect. “Gone MEC for Co-operative Government, Human Settlement and Traditional Affairs Mr Clifford are those days when auMotsepe congratulates the new mayor of Makhado Municipality during his inauguration at the dit reports remained unVyeboom sports grounds on Tuesday. attended year after year.

Motsepe congratulated the new mayor and urged him to work hard, together with all councillors, in ensuring that services are rendered to the people.

Traditional leader Khosi-Pfareli Vho-Lilian Netshimbupfe wished Mutavhatsindi all the best with his appointment. For the first time in the history of Makhado Municipality, SAMWU members attended the inauguration of the mayor.

Meanwhile the chairperson of SAMWU, Mr Elvis Tlou, said that his organisation was satisfied with the new changes in leadership at the municipality. “The new mayor must ensure that workers have working tools in order for them to be able to do their jobs,” Tlou said.

In his response, the new mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, said that he was very cognisant of the serious responsibility given to him and members of his council.

“We accept this responsibility willingly. Our responsibility as council is to act now and act decisively on matters that concern improving the quality of the lives of our people,” he said.

He added that the municipality would expand the provision of water and the quality-testing programme in the main town, R293 towns and rural areas.

“We shall increase our collective efforts in partnership with the Vhembe District Municipality to ensure that the bulk water supply to our municipality is realised within a set time frame. This would address existing backlogs and water interruptions,” Mutavhatsindi said.

“Makhado Municipality has been the worst-performing municipality in the province for the past eight financial years. There is no time and we must ensure that the work begin in earnest right now.”

Dixi’s brings fashion to you fingertips Dixi’s Nails will bring fashion to your fingertips and let them do the talking this season.

Managed by owner ElzeMarie Taute du Preez, Dixi’ Nails, situated at Dixi’s Basket in Tshirululuni Street, offers a wide variety of nail treatments.

This also includes the regular manicures and pedicures.

Elze-Marie decided to incorporate the nail department with her existing business after she

completed her nail technician course in January this year.

This enabled her to give a full range of nail treatments, including acrylic, gel, silk and fibre and revolution sculpture nails.

What really sets her apart, however, is the exiting new 3D Nail Art Printer service that she also provides. Elize-Marie is the sole agent in the Limpopo Province for 3D Nail Art. This printer allows clients

to personalize their finger- and toenails. Clients can either choose images from an extensive gallery, or add their own digital images to be printed directly onto their real or artificial nails.

“There are no boundaries to your creativity; the sky is the limit, and when you reach that, you can even print that on your nails,” says Elze-Marie.

Additionally, the nail printer can also customize other objects such as fresh fruit, flowers (especially roses), cellphones and pens. “Basically, anything you can fit into the printer,” explains Elze-Marie.

Then, for those who are stressed out or suffering from muscle pain, Elze-Marie offers the Master Care Swedish Back Care System. With this system, the back, knees, neck and shoulders are re-aligned by transforming your body weight into traction, which relieves disc and joint pains.

Business hours are from 08:00 until 20:00 on weekdays and by appointment on Saturdays.

Blue Drop states most water is excellent Tap water in six of the 12 water-supply systems of Vhembe District is of excellent quality and safe to drink. These water supply systems are Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Malamulele, Mutale, Musekwa, Mutshedzi and Tshifire.

The water in Musina, Thohoyandou, Elim, Kutama and Thsedza is generally safe to drink but with some recorded microbiological failures.

Nzhelele’s water did not comply with the expected standards.

These findings are recorded in the results of the 2012 Blue Drop Certification Programme (BDCP). The overall results were announced by Water and Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa on Monday.

The overall national Blue Drop assessment score improved from 72.9% in 2011 to 87.6% in 2012.

Limpopo is in the middle (fifth) of the nine provinces, with a score of 79.4%, improving on their 54% of 2009. Gauteng is first with 98.1% and Mpumalanga is the worst performer with 60.9% Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) is fourth in the province, with a score of 74,85% and is in position 67 on the national log.

In 2011, VDM scored 45.87% and was the 101st municipality on the national log.

Malamulele had the highest Blue Drop score (78.39%) in Vhembe, and increased their

performance of last year by more than 31%. Mutale followed closely with a Blue Drop score of 77.17% (more than 27% increase). Musina scored 76.95% after a whopping improvement of just under 45%. Mutshedzi scored 72.26% (an increase of just above 26%), Tshifhire got 71.77% (an increase of just above 38%), Makhado (Louis Trichardt) scored 70.59% (an increase of nearly 26%) and Tshedza 67.97% (an increase of nearly 29%). Musekwa, with its Blue Drop score of 58.37%, showed the greatest improvement, just above 48%. The three poorestperforming systems also showed improvements. Elim improved by 24% to 53.79%, Kutama scored 46.40% (an improvement of just above 25%) and Nzhelele got 44.08% after an improvement of nearly 32%.

The report by the Department of Water Affairs gives credit for the improvements. “The 2012 Blue Drop scores for Vhembe District Municipality indicate the significant achievement of improvement in performance for every water supply system within the water service authority’s area of jurisdiction,” the department said.

Drinking-water quality compliance forms 30% of the Blue Drop score. Other areas that are assessed are water safety planning, treatment process management, management accountabil-

ity and local regulation and asset management.

The report warns that “there remain shortcomings that require attention over the next assessment cycle to ensure the tap water quality management” in VDM. Their incident management protocol must be amended to include subject matter more relevant to drinking water quality and not only emergencies in general.

Another challenge was the number of water-quality results.

“The number of data sets (waterquality results) per supply system, and detail of the water safety plans, does not allow for an easy determination of what influenced the number of samples per water supply system,” states the report.

The department further encouraged VDM to develop and implement risk-based monitoring programmes according to SANS 241 (South African National Standards) requirements. “The department could not allocate full scores under the drinking-water quality compliance criteria since the municipality could not present evidence of a full SANS 241 analysis that would indicate key risk determinants. The chemicalmonitoring programmes mostly catered for fluoride, iron and manganese; this would be regarded as inadequate in areas where mining activity is prevalent,” the report states.

The Blue Drop Performance comparator of Limpopo shows Vhembe District Municipality in the fourth position. The chart has been adapted to show only the top four municipalities. Drinking water quality compliance is one of five performance areas of the Blue Drop Assessments. In the chart, the five areas are shown for each of the four municipalities in the order (from the top) of asset management, management commitment, drinking water quality (DWQ) compliance, process control management and water safety planning. At the bottom, the percentages can be seen. (Graphic adapted from 2012 Blue Drop Report).

Crime

Six arrested on charges of human trafficking Limpopo police have arrested six suspects over the past weekend in Louis Trichardt and Thohoyandou believed to be involved in a human-trafficking syndicate.

According to a police report, the organised criminal syndicate, which includes five Ethiopian men and one Indian man, aged between 26 and 37 years, were arrested by Musina detectives on Saturday and rescued 47 Ethiopian men who were allegedly destined to be sold as slaves in the province.

The group of 47 men allegedly arrived sometime last week in Musina. They were smuggled out of the refugee centre under mysterious circumstances and taken to different “safe” houses in Louis Trichardt and Thohoyandou.

The syndicate’s illegal activities were uncovered on Saturday after a relative opened a kidnapping case. The complainant told police that the group had been smuggled into the country and that

five of his family members out of the 47 were allegedly being held against their will. He had been ordered to pay R10 000 for their release.

The police organised a sting operation through which the complainant was in contact with the syndicate members. This culminated in a meeting at a well-known car dealership in Louis Trichardt. The complainant was in possession of the R10 000, which led to the arrest of two of the suspects and the rescue of the man’s five family members.

After being questioned by the police, the suspects directed them to four other syndicate members who were in Golgotha, Thohoyandou. They were apprehended, after which they led the police to a house next to the University of Venda, where the remaining 42 victims were rescued.

The victims were found in good health and are currently being kept at a safe place, pending the outcome of the

investigation. The six suspects, all of whom have businesses in Thohoyandou, are being investigated for additional links with similar activities in other countries.

Limpopo Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Simon Mpembe has lauded the police actions and reinforced the province’s resolve to fight any form of criminality. Mpembe said the organizers of these ventures were taking advantage of vulnerable people and putting their lives at risk. “We will not turn a blind eye to the exploitation of innocent people in our own backyard. Human trafficking is modern-day slavery, and the law must show no mercy on these heartless criminals,” he said.

The six suspects appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on Monday. They each face 47 charges of kidnapping. They were not asked to plead and their cases were postponed until 14 May, pending further police investigation. They remain in custody.

Daar is tye wat die toue by die Ma­kha­do Munisipaliteit net nie na wense vorder nie. Een so ‘n dag was verlede Donderdag, 3 Mei. Die toue by die betalingspunt van munisipale rekenings het by die deure uitgestaan.

By die lisensie afdeling het lede van die publiek gesit … en gesit ...

Onderwyser me. Luzelle Wahl het verlof vir die dag ingesit om haar pu­ blie­ke lisensie te kry om die minibus van die skool te kan bestuur.

“Ek het al op 5 April met die lisensie se oogtoets begin. Die volgende dag het ek die betaling gaan doen.

Dan moet jy ten minste vyf dae wag en kom hoor of jou vingerafdrukke reg uitgekom het. Ek sit al hier van vanoggend af en hier is net een kassiere wat die algemene publiek help.

Die ander een help net besighede en handelaars. Ek is seker daar is ‘n vinniger en makliker manier. In Mosselbaai het ek my pa se lisensie gedoen en dit was so vinnig en maklik,” het Wahl gesê.

Wahl het die hoop uitgespreek dat

die nuwe burgemeester die stelsel sal laat ondersoek en verander.

In dieselfde tou as Wahl het mense gesit vir hul motorlisensieskyfies, leerlinglisensie betalings, publieke vervoerlisensies en registrasie van voertuie.

Mnr. Johan Jansen het al van 07:30 daar gesit en wag vir die toets­ beampte, want hy is meegedeel dat dit net dié betrokke persoon is wat sy vingerafdrukke mag neem. Die toetsbeampte het kom sê dat hy net na agtuur daar sal wees. Teen 12:30 het Jansen nog daar gewag. Hy het die vorige dag sy lisensie geslaag.

Die munisipale woordvoerder, mnr.

Louis Bobodi, is op 3 Mei geroep. Die probleem is onder sy aandag gebring en hy is gevra om antwoorde te gee.

Op 7 Mei het Bobodi gesê dat hy nie kan belowe dat hy die antwoorde op die vrae wat deurgestuur is betyds sal kan gee nie, want hy het belangriker dinge om te doen. Dit was hierdie week die inhuldiging van die nuwe burgemeester. Teen druktyd was daar nog geen antwoorde nie.

Awards

Local post office still best in Limpopo The Louis Trichardt Post Office has maintained its track record as the best post office in Limpopo.

Louis Trichardt Post Office achieved a score of 99,78% conformance to operational standards during the latest assessment by the post office. With that, the Louis Trichardt Post Office achieved close to a 100% for the third time in a row.

Ndala Mnisi, group executive in charge of post office outlets, presented a special trophy to

Louis Trichardt Post Office for this achievement. Mnisi says he is very proud of the team at the Louis Trichardt Post Office.

“The aim of the oversight programme, where we check the extent to which post offices conform to operational requirements, is to improve customer service.”

Mnisi says the programme also looks at queue lengths, customer compliments and suggestions, right down to the cleanliness of the branch – everything that affects the customer’s experience.

Dries Rossouw, branch manager at the Louis Trichardt Post Office, attributes the success of the branch to team work. “This is not one person’s trophy,” he says.

“We received this award because we all work together to give our customers a better experience.” The Louis Trichardt Post Office does an average of 1 400 transactions per day and has seven postmen who deliver around 16 000 mail items per week to the town. (Article and photos supplied)

Kutama man (28) held captive in Sudan A resident of Tshikwarani in the Kutama area is being held captive in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.

Thabo Siavhe (28), together with three other humanitarian relief workers, was captured by North Sudanese soldiers while doing landmine clearance work on a United Nations contract. The four are said to have entered the wrong territory while busy with their duties, said a representative of the Sudanese government.

Thabo Siavhe (28).

Siavhe is an employee of the state-owned Denel-Mechem company in Cape Town and, together with his colleague from Sudan, was deployed to Sudan to be “part of a UN task team responsible for the lifting of landmines and the destruction of unexploded remnants of the recent civil war between the two countries,” Denel Mechem CEO Ashley Williams told Mail & Guardian Online last week.

There has been an on-going clash between South Sudan and Sudan, and now the two DenelMechem employees are suspected of being military advisors to South Sudan. They are thought to have come to collect explosive debris for investigation purposes.

Because of this allegation, the four men are being investigated and no foreign consul has been granted access to them yet.

Back at home, Siavhe’s family is worrying about their loved one’s health and safety in the hands of the Sudanese soldiers.

“It’s painful to have seen your brother in March and now, in

May, you’re told that he is possibly suffering in a foreign land,” said Lindiwe Siavhe, holding Siavhe’s son in her arms.

On Saturday, the Siavhe family received professional counselling for them to remain strong in this time of pain and uncertainty. “We pray day and night for our son to be released,” said Siavhe’s mother, Johanna Mahlangu-Siavhe (54), when the Zoutpansberger visited the family on Sunday.

“I’ve not known how food tastes since we received news of his arrest in that far-away place.

Thabo is a good son. We can’t imagine his being involved in bad activities.”

The Kutama Traditional Authority has been in contact with the South African ambassador in Sudan, and the council says they were told that Siavhe is in good health. “They say he might be released this week,” said the Kutama Traditional Authority’s chairperson, Mr MG Muofhe.

“We’re also making a call for all people to start praying for Thabo’s safety and release.”

Baba in hospitaal ná spinnekopbyt

Leerlinge van die Levubu CVO-skool moes tydens hul onlangse temadag ‘n letter kies uit die woord BCVO en daarvolgens aantrek. Die “showstopper” was juffrou Ansie Erasmus (voor op die vloer) wat die B gekies het en as ‘n Boer by die skool opgedaag het. Foto verskaf.

THINK OF IT AS A GIFT HORSE AND YOU’RE ABOUT TO LOOK IT IN THE MOUTH Every now and again in life, we are presented with an opportunity which, at first glance, doesn’t make itself abundantly obvious.

As a result, we are inclined to ignore it and let it slip through our fingers.

But, as time goes by, it becomes apparent that this was the proverbial gift horse and we go on to kick ourselves for not seizing it with both hands when we had the chance.

One such opportunity is the Classic 5 Investment Collection from Old Mutual.

Five hand-picked unit trusts that will deliver returns you never dreamed possible in years to come.

Even setting aside a small monthly amount now can mean a big payout in the future, thanks to the power of compounding over time.

And if you’re feeling commitment anxiety, don’t!

• Unit trusts do not lock you in.

• You can get access to your money in one day – without penalties.

• You can miss monthly payments. Also, no penalties.

• And no upfront admin fees, so your money works from day one.

Like all opportunities in life, the sooner you grab this one, the better.

Old Mutual Investment Group (South Africa) (Pty) Limited is a licensed financial services provider. Unit trusts are generally medium- to long-term investments. Past performance is no indication of future growth. Shorter term fluctuations can occur as your investment moves in line with the markets. Fluctuations or movements in exchange rates may cause the value of underlying international investments to go up or down. Unit trusts can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. Fund valuations take place on a daily basis at approximately 15h00 on a forward pricing basis. The fund’s TER reflects the percentage of the average Net Asset Value of the portfolio that was incurred as charges, levies and fees related to the management of the portfolio.

The children of Ridgeway Independent School outside Louis Trichardt were happy to meet their mascot, Rico,on 5 May at the school’s cultural fun day. In front, holding Rico, are Casper-John Venter (left) and Marco Marcos, who pioneered the school’s project to save the rhino. Their financial contribution to the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) is used for Rico’s intensive training to sniff out rhino horn and ivory. At the back is Rico’s trainer from the Airport Company Transportation Security (ACTS) firm in Johannesburg, Mr Ernest Taylor, better known as ET. “Rico comes from Germany. He is about two years old and used to be at ‘Search and Rescue’.

Because he is so happy, noisy and lively, we took him out. His temperament and high drive for a ball are excellent for his current training,” ET said. The principal, Ms Magriet Swanepoel, said that the day was a fundraiser for their hall-building project and that a percentage would go to EWT. She expressed her gratitude towards all the sponsors and the community for supporting the event.

Jannie Brink, seun van Jan en Sally Brink van Louis Trichardt, en Nina Linde, dogter van Louis en Elsje Linde van Louis Trichardt, is op 31 Maart deur Nina se oupa, prof. Koos van Rooy en haar broer, ds. Lohan Linde, op die plaas Sederkrans in die huwelik bevestig.

Joy as municipal library finally re-opens The Makhado municipal library in Louis Trichardt has officially reopened after being closed for renovations for almost six months.

The library was opened by the Makhado Municipality’s mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, last Wednesday.

Mutavhatsindi said that having realised that the library was old and starting to deteriorate, the municipality took a decision to renovate it. He said that the roof was leaking and, as a result, this was endangering the books. Mutavhatsindi said that the municipality had spent R455 000 on the renovations. “We had to replace the carpets and renovate the ablution block as well,” he said.

Library users were over the moon when they heard the news that the library had reopened again.

Family and friends this week mourn the sudden death of the 35-year-old Morné Nel, better know as Oscar, of Louis Trichardt.

Oscar passed away on 4 May. A funeral service will be held for him on 11 May at 10:30 at the St Mark’s Anglican Church in Munnik Street.

‘n Jarelange inwoner van Louis Trichardt, mnr. Willie Cronjé, is op 1 Mei in die ouderdom van 79 jaar oorlede. Hy word oorleef deur sy eggenote, Betsie, en seuns Johan en Wessel. ‘n Roudiens vir wyle mnr. Cronjé is Maandag, 7 Mei, vanuit die Afrikaanse Protestante Kerk hier gehou. Die familie het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor almal wat medelye uitgespreek teenoor hulle in hul tyd van hartseer. Foto verskaf.

Ms Nickey van Zyl is one of the regular library users who expressed her happiness. She was the first to enter the library, following the reopening.

Mutavhatsindi apologised for the inconvenience caused during the renovation process.

Demonstrators burning an ANC T-shirt bearing the image of Chief Whip Madamalala at the Musina municipal offices.The protesters demanded the immediate resignation of the mayor and the Chief Whip.

By Frans van der Merwe

Mayor and chief whip told to “voetsek” Furious residents of Nancefield in Musina are demanding the immediate resignation of Mayor Carol Phiri and the municipal council’s Chief Whip, Simon Madamalala.

The demand, contained in a memorandum which was also sent to the office of the MEC for Local Government and Housing, was repeated this week during public meetings in the Klopper Stadium in Nancefield on Monday and Tuesday.

One meeting was held after the arrest by Musina SAPS of various residents during Sunday night, including almost the entire management of the Musina Residents Representative Committee (MRRC), the organizers of a protest march to the municipal offices. The demand was repeated at the police station and at the court where the detainees were brought on Tuesday, without any charges being brought against them.

Immediately after they were brought from the police cells to the court, the prosecutor ruled that they should be taken back to be released without bringing them before court. They were only released by the police some three hours later. According to witnesses, the ruling for their release was originally given by the prosecutor on Monday.

This came in the midst of mounting tension between residents and the municipality, which led to repeated demonstrations.

People allegedly protested at the houses of two officials on Sunday. According to provincial SAPS spokesperson Col Ronel Otto, the police acted on allegations of public violence.

The demand for the resigna-

tion of the mayor and the chief whip was met with this reply from the mayor’s office: “The mayor and the Chief Whip have been deployed by their political party after the local government elections.”

Infuriated demonstrators earlier burnt an ANC T-shirt bearing the image of the Chief Whip at the municipal buildings. This happened two weeks ago after the mayor’s office refused to accept the memorandum presented at the end of a lawful march organized by the MRRC in collaboration with the SAPS and the municipality. Demonstrators responded with a “Voetsek” song, giving vent to indignation at what they rejected as “the totally unacceptable arrogance of the mayor and the Chief Whip”.

The memorandum contains wide-ranging questions, some relating to serious allegations of corruption, especially in the handling of RDP housing and the appointment of municipal officials. According to MRRC chairperson Mshudu Ndou, the mayor’s office apologized last Monday for the earlier refusal to accept the memorandum and presented written answers to the memorandum, which was originally handed to her after a demonstration in March this year.

Anger welled up again after news was received of what was described as equally arrogant remarks in the written reply. On several queries in the memorandum the MRRC, instead of being served with appropriate answers, they are instructed by the mayor’s office to “Attend IDP meetings and read municipal publications”, to get their infor-

mation from imbizos, ward committee meetings, from previously published advertisements and, in the case of rumours about the dates on and the way in which the mayor obtained her learner’s and driver’s licences: “Information available on request at the traffic station.”

Almost every allegation of corrupt dealings referred to in the memorandum is dismissed with a challenge to provide proof as a precondition to any investigation. A request for the creation of a task team to listen to and address problems that people have concerning housing is dismissed with the statement: “An affective(sic) housing unit is attending to all housing needs in this municipality.” An enquiry about the reasons for the resignation of a large number of traffic officials in Musina is answered with: “Conditions for employment are a private matter between the employee and employer.

This is purely an administrative issue.” In the same way, a request for a report on all positions advertised and filled since the new council was inaugurated, requesting post requirements, a list of candidates interviewed and score sheets of those finally appointed, is answered with: “This is purely an administrative issue. Administrators report to Council.”

In his address to residents assembled at the Klopper stadium, shortly after his release from police detention, Ndou called on residents to remain calm and await further developments. The angry call for the two officials’ speedy resignation was, however, even louder than before.

Boer knorrig oor ysterpale wat verdwyn Hy moes alreeds sy vark- en skaapboerdery staak weens aanhoudende veediefstal. Die nuutste is nou die ysterpale wat sy heiningdrade regop hou wat dag na dag voete kry.

“Bietjies, bietjies raak dit al hoe erger,” sê mnr. Kallie Röttcher, wat op een van die Rondebosch plase net buite Louis Trichardt boer. Hy verwys na letterlik kilometer-lange seksies van sy heiningdrade wat meer en meer platlê aangesien die ysterpale wat dit moet regop hou Mnr. Kallie Röttcher by ‘n seksie van die heiningdraad op sy plaas waar diewe dag na dag sy kronies gesteel word. Op dele van sy plaas is dit net bosse wat die ysterpale steel. heiningdraad nog stut.

“Dit is ‘n onheil!” sê Röttcher.

Sy grootste vrees is sy beeste wat kan uitkom. Röttcher sê hy rapporteer die diefstalle nie eens meer aan die polisie nie. “Jy mors jou tyd. Dit gebeur in elk geval so gereeld,” sê hy.

Intussen spook Röttcher om die pale wat gesteel word, te vervang.

Sowat ses weke gelede, sê hy, het hy by ‘n skrootmetaalonderne­ ming sowat R9 000 se ysterpale gaan opkoop. Dit is juis dit wat hom ongelukkig maak. Hy meen die skrootmetaalondernemings skep ‘n mark vir die diewe om ontslae te raak van die ysterpale.

“Wie weet, dalk is dit my eie ysterpale wat ek weer teruggekoop het,” sê Röttcher.

Maar is hierdie kritiek teen­ oor skrootmetaal ondernemings geregverdig? Mev. Aurial Visser van LTT Scrap Metal stem nie saam nie.

“As ‘n verkoper ‘n afskrif van sy ID, sy naam en adres kan voorsien, is daar niks wat ons verhoed om skrootmetaal by hom te koop nie,” sê Visser. Dit, verduidelik sy, is egter nie van toepassing op die aankoop van Telkom, Eskom, Spoornet of myne se koperkabels, wat streng volgens wet verbied word nie.

Elke skrootmetaalonderneming, sê Visser, weet presies wat hulle mag aankoop en wat nie.

Visser sê dat sy begrip het vir mense soos Röttcher se frustrasie, maar meen dat dit baie moeilik vir hulle as onderneming is om te bepaal of die skrootmetaal wat hulle aankoop by iemand gesteel is. Dit is nog moeiliker as diefstalle nie by die polisie aangemeld word nie. In dié verband verduidelik sy dat hulle ‘n register hou van alle skrootmetaal wat aangekoop word en van wie dit aangekoop word. Dit is ook die prosedure by ander skroot-

metaalondernemings.

“Die polisie kom kyk elke Woensdag en Vrydag na ons boeke [register] en die skrootmetaal op ons persele,” sê Visser.

Sy meen dit sou dan maklik gewees het om ‘n verdagte te identifiseer, sou dit aan die lig kom dat van die metaal gesteel is.

Daar is mos ‘n register van wie die metaal verkoop het.

“My raad aan Röttcher is om die diefstalle te rapporteer. Hy kan ook sy ysterpale merk, sodat dit maklik identifiseerbaar is,” sê Visser. Sy het verskeie ondernemings genoem wat reeds gebruik maak van dié merkprose­dure.

“Ons weet nou al as metaal hier aankom met ‘n sekere merk op aan wie dit behoort. Dan bel ons die ondernemings om uit te vind of dit gesteel is. Baie ondernemings bel ons self en vra vir ons om op die uitkyk te wees vir sekere metale wat by hulle gesteel is,” sê Visser.

Visser het mense soos Rött­cher uitgenooi om skrootmetaalondernemings te besoek en te kyk of hul gesteelde eiendom daar is.

“Ek glo nie enige onderneming sal iemand weier om dit te doen nie,” sê Visser.

The guys from Round Table Zoutpansberg 66 in Louis Trichardt once again braved the winter cold, wearing only a denim and T-shirt, on Friday, 4 May, as part of their annual Winter Knights of Round Table charity event to highlight the plight of the less fortunate. As part of the event, which took place in the parking area at Makhado Crossing, residents were invited to bring them warm clothes, blankets and non-perishable food to be donated to the underprivileged. Pictured from left to right are Tablers Dirk Meissenheimer, Rudi Meissenheimer, André Muller (chairman), Johan Cronjé and Frans Vermaak. Muller expressed his gratitude towards all who supported them.

Van die manne wat daar was het Manne van die Woord se kamp op Friendschapsdal, Waterpoort, van 4 tot 6 Mei as “ongelooflik lekker” beskryf. “Mens wonder elke keer of daar iets nuuts gaan wees, maar hierdie keer was daar weer ‘n totaal nuwe aanslag,” sê kampganger Johan van Dijkhorst, wat gehou het van die “Gerig op die Woord” tema. Vaders het ook die geleentheid gekry om ‘n seën oor hulle seuns uit te spreek. Manne van die Woord bedank graag hul borge, Spar Louis Trichardt vir die etes, Limpopo Melkery vir die sap en Prima Slaghuis vir die vleishappies.

wat almal op een middag hulle goed-uitgewerkte toesprake kom lewer. Om nie eens te praat van die redenaars wat vinnig ‘n standpunt kan inneem tydens hul onvoorbereide toesprake nie.

Redenaars van 25 skole het op 4 Mei aan die Limpopo-Noord uitdun van die ATKV Redenaarskompetisie by Laerskool Louis Trichardt deelgeneem. Die hoofbeoordelaar, Issie Venter van Pretoria, het saam met 39 beoordelaars van Pretoria en Limpopo vir die kinders punte gegee.

Ses van Laerskool Louis Trichardt se 15 inskrywings het deurgedring na die semi-finaal op 1 Junie, waar die hele Limpopo se jong redenaars sake gaan uitspook om aan die nasionale redenaarskompetisie

by Klein Kariba deel te neem.

In die kategorie vir Graad 1 tot 3 het Triegies se

sy byt”, Sarisa van der Goot het gesê “Vandag se dogters is katte, glad nie skatte nie” en Cheyenne van Zyl se onderwerp was “Die beste troeteldier is die een wat blaf en miaau.” Hulle drie het deurgedring na die semi-finaal.

In die kategorie vir Graad 4 tot 5 het die twee wat deurgedring het, albei die tema “hekke” ge­ kies. Alida du Preez het die tema uitgebrei na die onderwerp “Almal kan die sportshek oopmaak” en Ronel Meiring het gesê “Hekke is die sleutel tot my menswees”.

Vanaf Graad 6 het die redenaars ook onvoorbereide toesprake gelewer, wat 70% van hul

kategorie Graad 6 tot 7 deurgedring met sy onderwerp “Die wurms wat ‘n mens nie kan sien nie”.

Vir sy onvoorbereide toespraak het Dewald gewys dat hy vinnig op sy voete kan dink.

“Dit is verbasend met hoeveel selfvertroue die jong kinders praat. Die organisasie was regtig uitstekend. Ander skole se ouers het ons gekomplimenteer daaroor en ook oor die netheid van ons terrein se tuine en geboue, “ sê ouer me. Elmien van der Goot.

Me. Sussa Ehlers was verantwoordelik vir die reëlings. Die semi-finaal word weer by die skool aangebied.

Bejaardes van Ons Tuiste word opgelei om “Mind Moves” te doen om hul denke helder te hou.

Van links na regs is Mesdames Annelie Janse van Rensburg (kursusleier), Rosa Swanepoel, Anna Botha en Kittie de Bruin (bestuurder van Ons Tuiste)

Spreker Johnny Louw het tydens die vroue-aand op 3 Mei gesê dat die vrou die goddelike rol het om die “lewegewende een” te wees en dat sy in haar gesin en daarbuite lewe moet spreek.

Die vroue-aand, aangebied deur Louis Trichardt se Manne van die Woord, het by die saal van die Laerskool Louis Trichardt plaasgevind. ‘n Paar van die vroue wat bydraes tot die aand se sukses gemaak het, staan saam met die nou-reeds-bekende herlewingspreker. Van links na regs is Martlie Fourie, Yolanda du Preez, Izelle Briers, Johnny Louw, Marié Enslin en Bernice Clifton.

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

“Jy is nooit te oud om jonger te word nie,” het Mae West gesê. Bejaardes van Ons Tuiste word “jonger” deur “Mind Moves” te doen om hul denke helder te hou.

Ons Tuiste is deur die Mind Moves Instituut in Johannesburg geïdentifiseer as een van twee ouetehuise waar die Mind Moves gratis aangebied word as ‘n proeflopie. Mind Moves is oefeninge wat spesifiek ontwikkel is om die brein, sintuie en spiere fiks te hou.

Een oefening wat die bejaardes – en natuurlik enige persoon – kan doen om kalm en rustig te word, is die “antenna-versteller”. Ons Tuiste se bejaardes het dit hierdie week Maandag aangeleer.

Hulle het die arms opgelig en die oorskulp tussen die duim en voorvinger vasgehou, waarna hulle die hele oorskulp van albei ore gelyktydig van bo na onder met sirkelbewegings gemasseer het.

Aanbieder me. Annelie Janse van Rensburg sê dat dié oefening balans, gehoor en geheue ontwikkel.

Annelie kom van Witbank en het by me. Max Naudé gehoor van Ons Tuiste, waar sy hierdie week die kursus oor vier dae aanbied. Elke kursusganger het ook die boekie, “Die glinster in my grysheid”, geskryf deur Melodie de Jager en uitgegee deur Mind Moves Instituut, as ‘n geskenk ontvang.

“Helderwakker” is nog ‘n oefening wat die bejaardes geniet. Hulle gooi die arms wyd oop en asem diep en stadig in, waarna hulle die arms oor die bors kruis asof hul hulself ‘n drukkie gee.Die “helderwakker” oefening bevorder “ontspanning, dieper asemhaling en die goedvoel-hormone”… en “is ‘n skitterende opkikker en met gereelde doen gee dit ook jou gesondheid ‘n hupstootjie,” skryf De Jager.

Die kursusgangers sê dat hulle baie baat vind by die Mind Moves.

“Ek is seker hierdie oefeninge gaan ons brein bietjie helder maak. Ek geniet dit verskriklik. Ja, en vyfuur in die oggend vryf ek my ore…” sê me.

18 11 May 2012 Open Letter to Makhado Municipality

Chairperson’s Association asks for transparency with new appointments

T

he Chairpersons Association, the author of this letter, consists of 45 chairpersons of influential organisations and representatives of all the cultural groups, representing directly and indirectly, 90,000 people.

The Chairpersons Association is a non-political group which focuses on good corporate governance as well as reconciliation and the unlocking of synergy among all cultural groups.

The Chairpersons Association is of the view that a municipal manager for Makhado Municipality should not be a political appointment, but rather a trained and skilled person who can motivate his staff to render proper services to the public in order to give value to the taxpayers of this area for the taxes they pay.

The Chairpersons Association is also of the opinion that if poor service delivery continues the way it is right now, people will turn to violent human rights actions and uproar, which will eventually bring government structures to a fall. It is therefore not in the interest of any governing organisation, the country, and/or the residents to appoint a municipal manager with his political affiliation as the only criterion. There is much more to the job description than an untrained, unskilled and inexperienced politician can deal with. Nobody is done a favour by making a political appointment only.

The Chairpersons Association is also of the opinion that the public within the Makhado Municipality, as far as service delivery is concerned, is not at all interested in politics but needs basic services to be rendered in respect of sewerage, water supply, proper roads, electricity, and capitalization of programmes on an economically effective basis.

Therefore, it is important where the interests of the public and the taxpayers are at stake, that the public should participate in the processes of hiring the municipal manager. It is also clear that service delivery within the Makhado Municipality, if one looks at the

adverse audit reports, that this municipality’s performance is the worst in the whole of Limpopo and a serious intervention should therefore be made through the appointment of experienced and skilled people. The officials who appoint these people will have to be held fully accountable if they appoint under-qualified people as a result of these people’s political affiliations.

The public, fortunately, is not ignorant anymore and understands where these appointments come from and who should be held responsible for such appointments.

It is of vital importance that the residents who contribute towards the revenue of the Makhado Municipality and who are dependent on the services of the Makhado Municipality and government structures and are directly affected by the appointment of staff at the Makhado Municipality should be consulted.

These people should also be afforded an opportunity to raise their voices to object to or support the fairness of the process of employing the municipal manager and the recruitment of senior managers and directors to portfolios.

The infrastructure at Makhado Municipality has collapsed to such an extent that one cannot rely on accurate statements being sent to the public anymore. The roads are in a terrible state; the sewage system is in a terrible state; the water supply is in a terrible state; tenders are being awarded to render services in respect of roads etc. to people who are not properly trained, thereby wasting millions of rands of taxpayers’ money. This is done because they are appointed based on friendship, nepotism and/or political affiliations. These are the standards according to which government structures are judged by the electorate, which does not hold a very favourable view. Many of the officials who hold senior positions who are appointed at Makhado Municipality do not even stay within the boundaries of the Makhado Municipality

Special confessions

and therefore they do not have any sentiments towards the public of Makhado Municipality. The following persons are some examples: (a) The previous municipal manager, Mr Tshikalange, lives in Thohoyandou. His contract was not renewed after expiry; (b) The corporate services director, Ms Ndou, lives in Thohoyandou and not in the area of the Makhado Municipality; (c) The technical services director, Mr Ralulimi, lives in Thohoyandou; (d) The development planning director, Ms Sinthumule, lives in Thohoyandou; (e) The community services director, Mr Mugari, now the acting municipal manager, lives in Polokwane.

Appointments such as these are being made while we have excellent, qualified people within this area who can do the job much better, with much more motivation, where they will be directly held accountable to the public surrounding them in the area where they live.

You do understand that for the past three years, the Makhado Municipality has received a disclaimer from the Auditor General. It is a clear indication that the senior management team is incapable and does not have the capacity to do their job.

This should be understood against the background that these people had been appointed in these very senior positions, notwithstanding the fact that they had never worked at a municipality before. These people were promoted to these very positions because of their political connections.

The view of the Chairpersons Association is that the Makhado Municipality cannot continue to be managed by people who either do not live in this town or area, who are not known by this community, who do not feel themselves to be accountable to this community and who are not trained, skilled and experienced people for these jobs.

These people are not even in touch

with the public lvinging within the Makhado Municipality. They are unapproachable and do not respond to any letters of the public. They do not even respond to letters of the regulatory authority like NERSA. We also wish to emphasize that, in terms of the amendments of the Makhado Municipal Act, it is unacceptable that cadre deployment be done. All people appointed in these very important positions should be well qualified and carry the community’s confidence with them. These people should not be serving in an ANC branch executive committee.

The Chairpersons Association wishes to appeal to you and recommend that the Chairpersons Association, the Ratepayers Associations, the Chamber of Commerce (which is also one of our members), the agricultural unions and all the affected parties and organisations should be accorded observer status in the municipal manager’s interviews as well as during the interviews with other candidates for important executive and non-executive structures, that these organisations and stakeholders be given a list of all applicants and those shortlisted, for the sake of transparency, and to verify the shortlisting criteria and to ensure that everyone who qualifies has been invited to the interview.

This sort of approach will ensure that transparency is maintained and that an open and honest appointment is made in the best interest of the public as well as the governing structures. This will avoid further embarrassment to the governing structures and promote harmony among all cultural groups, thereby assisting the unlocking of the synergy among all cultural groups in order to make this region an investment haven for investors, which will create wealth and not poverty and unemployment.

Your urgent response and action in respect of this letter are required, please.

- André Naudé (Chairperson) (Letter shortened - Editor)

read a testimony of Oswald J Smith where he prayed this prayer on his 38th birthday: Lord, here are my hands; I consecrate them to Thee. May they never touch anything that You would not have them touch, or do anything that would dishonour You. Here are my feet; I dedicate them to Thee. May they never go where You would not be seen.

Here, Lord, are my eyes. May they never look at anything that would grieve Your Holy Spirit.

May my ears never listen to anything dishonouring to Your Name.

May my mouth never be opened to speak a word that I would not want You to hear.

May my mind never retain a thought nor an imagination that would dim the sense of Your presence.

May my heart know no love, and cherish no feeling that is not of Thee. Amen.

To pray this prayer would be to ask God to make you a man or woman after His own heart.

The main thing in our lives is not what we achieve, but the lives we live, the thoughts we think.

We must walk closer to God. The apostle said: “Christ in you”. Christ wants us, not merely our service.

U/15’s crowned cluster champions Marianka Mattheus (links) van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt veg vir die bal tydens Saterdag se 0/16-meisies kragmeting teen Stanford College. Die wedstryd het gelykop 2-2 geëindig.

The U/15 soccer team of Louis Trichardt High School had a good season and came as far as being crowned champions in their cluster.

Their coaches, Messrs Be­ thuel Tshivhenga and Gerard Rossouw, were proud of them when they won the Soutpansberg East circuit in the COPA Coca-Cola circuit on 24 April on their home turf. They beat Makhado Comprehensive 4-0, Murunwa 3-1 and Masedi 5-1.

As winners of the Soutpansberg East Circuit, the U/15s of Louis Trichardt competed against Soutpansberg North (Musina High School) and Soutpansberg West (Benny’s Care Sports Academy). Louis Trichardt scored six goals as opposed to the one goal of Musina. It was, however, the match against Benny’s Care that coach Tshivhenga described as the highlight of their season.

“We drew 1-1, but it was an

excel­lent game against the team of an academy that specializes in sport,” Tshivhenga said.

As Soutpansberg cluster champions, the team played other teams of the Vhembe District at the Makwarela Stadium on 2 May. They lost 0-1against Lwamondo and 0-4 against Malamulele. The winners of the final of the FNB U/15 Legacy Programme were Makhado FC, with Swakoteka FC from Bungeni in second place.

Hierdie groep atlete van die Levubu CVO het aan die SA-atletiekkampioenskappe deelgeneem by die Ruimsig Stadion in Roodepoort en medaljes verower. Voor is Reese Coetzee (tweede spiesgooi O/8).

Sarah weereens onstuitbaar by Magoebaskloof Bergfietsryers van Louis Trichardt het die afgelope naweek bietjie die bene gaan oefen tydens die Magoebaskloof bergfietsuitdaging oor afstande van onder meer 20km, 35km en 45km.

Sarah Venter, wat die afgelope paar maande haarself gevestig het as een van die streek se top vrouebergfietsryers, het weereens beïndruk deur as eerste vrou oor die wenstreep te trap in die moordende

45km wedren. Sy was ook die eerste vroue sub-veteraan. Shaun Constable het die beste van die plaaslike ryers presteer in die 45km wedren deur algeheel derde te eindig. Hy was ook die eerste senior man tuis.

In die 20km was dit Catherine Labuschagne wat algeheel derde eindig in die vroue-afdeling. Catherine is ook geen vreemdeling op die podium die afgelope

paar wedrenne nie. Buiten haar derdeplek was sy ook die eerste vroue sub-veteraan by die wenstreep. Louise Olivier, ‘n leerling van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, het ook aan die 20km wedren deelgeneem en verras deur algeheel vierde te eindig in die vroue-afdeling.

Marius Smit het ook bietjie gaan sweet.

Hy het aan die 35km-wedren deelgeneem en palm ‘n algehele 37ste plek in.
