Moenie Maritz glo Deur Andries van Zyl

As jy dalk ‘n bietjie te veel gedrink het en jou nou aan die verkeerde kant van die gereg bevind, moet jy nie te opgewonde raak om ‘n oproep van ‘n mnr. Maritz te ontvang nie. Dit is die waarskuwing van mnr. Reino Mostert van Louis Trichardt, senior aanklaer in die noordelike streek.

Mostert se waarskuwing volg nadat dit aan die lig gekom het dat ‘n man wat homself voordoen

as die senior aanklaer van Louis Trichardt, ‘n ene mnr. Maritz, persone skakel wat van dronkbestuur aangekla word en aanbied om vir “iets onderdeur die tafel” dié kopseer te laat weggaan. Mens sou dink dat niemand vir die slenter sou val nie, want jy weet mos as jy nie vir dronkbestuur gearresteer is nie. Die probleem is egter dat die mense wat geskakel word wel almal uitstaande sake van dronkbestuur teen hulle het, in afwagting op die Staatslaboratorium se uitslag van hul bloedtoetse.

“Tot op hede weet ons van drie mense op Louis

Trichard wat geskakel is, want hulle het by my kom kla. Daar kan egter baie meer wees,” het Mostert gesê.

Een van die klaers wat gearresteer is vir dronkbestuur, ‘Stefan’ (nie sy regte naam nie aangesien hy ‘n bekende plaaslike sakeman is wat verkies om anoniem te bly), het aan die Zoutpansberger gesê hy is verlede Dinsdag vir die eerste keer deur Maritz geskakel. “Ek het eers gedink dit was vir die betaling van ‘n boete, maar toe hy vir my sê ek moet omkoopgeld betaal om my probleem te laat

weggaan, was my volgende oproep na Reino,” het Stefan gesê.

Stefan en Mostert het besluit om Maritz aan ‘n lyntjie te probeer hou om hom te probeer uitlok en vang. Hulle het egter besef dat die man, wat vlot Afrikaans gepraat het en baie oortuigend as aanklaer oorgekom het, dalk nie eers in Louis Trichardt gesit het nie en dalk deel is van ‘n groter, nasionale sindikaat. Die hulp van die polisie is ook ingeroep. “Ons moes probeer,” het Mostert gesê.

Inwoners van Louis Trichardt het Woensdagoggend ‘n buitengewone padblokkade in Kroghstraat teëgekom tussen Ruh- en Bredastaat. ‘n Groot boom het gedurende die nag omgeval en die helfte van die hoofstraat versper. ‘n Kort entjie hoër op in die straat, langs Helen’s Pet Shop, het ‘n ander groot boom so ‘n paar weke gelede ook in Kroghstraat omgeval. Die huidige droogte en die afgelope paar weke se sterk winde kan dalk die rede wees waarom soveel bome in Louis Trichardt omval en selfs doodgaan. Niemand is gelukkig in enige van die twee gevalle beseer nie.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe “So is Ek geslaan in die huis van my vriende!” Sagaria 13:6.

G

od het Dawid se omstandighede so beheer en bestuur dat hy daardeur kon leer om die “smaad van Christus” tot buitekant die laer van sy eie groep, en selfs sy eie familie, te dra. Om al die onredelike kritiek, valse beskuldigings, ongelukkige misverstande en onophoudelike vervolging, soos Christus en met Christus se gesindheid, te verduur en te verdra.

God draai nie sy toekomstige koning – die man na sy hart – in watte toe nie, maar gebruik dikwels die grofste klip uit die mees onverwagte groef wat die seerste maak, om jou rowwe en skerp punte weg te slyp. So is Abel deur sy eie broer vermoor, Noag deur sy eie kind bespot, Josef deur sy eie broers verkoop en Jesus deur sy eie dissipels verraai, verloën en verlaat. Die uitroep in Sagaria 13:6 was profeties.

In Psalm 59:3 kry ons ‘n kykie in hierdie aspek van Dawid se lewe, en wat toe in sy gemoed omgegaan het. Hy sê: God red hom van ongenadige geweldenaars, sodat hy kan leer om self genade aan sy onderdane te bewys. God red hom van die onredelikes wat hom sonder oorsaak en oortreding vervolg, sodat hy kan leer om nooit onredelik teenoor ander te wees nie.

God red hom van die onregverdiges en sterkes (v.4) wat hulle mag misbruik om hom te vertrap, sodat hy kan leer om nooit teenoor swakkes en minderes sy mag te misbruik en hulle sodoende te veronreg nie.

God red hom ook van die troueloses (v.6) wat elke belofte wat hulle maak verbreek en ook leuens vertel, sodat hy kan leer om te alle tye met trou teenoor ander mense en teenoor God op te tree.

God leer hom die geheim van oorwinning, hoe om juis dan, te midde van duisternis, tot eer van God se goedertierenheid en sterkte te sing: “My Sterkte… my Rotsvesting… my genadige God.” ( v.17,18 ).

Police make breakthrough in battery thefts

By Andries van Zyl The Makhado police made a breakthrough the past weekend with the arrest of a 33-yearold man in Eltivillas, Louis Trichardt, in connection with a spate of battery thefts at local cellphone towers in the area.

The theft of cellphone tower batteries has become a huge problem in South Africa the past few months and the Soutpansberg has not been spared. The thieves are obviously very arrogant, even daring to steal batteries on church property in full sight of the public.

This is exactly what happened at the Dutch Reformed Church Soutpansberg on 27 September. A group of men entered the church’s premises during the morning and said they needed to work on the tower situated on the church’s property. Nobody suspected anything, as the men were dressed exactly like the specific cellphone company’s workers.

Using a grinder, they cut the lock of the fence that surrounds the tower and proceeded to cut open the box in which the tower’s batteries are housed, stealing five batteries.

As for the past weekend’s arrest, provincial police spokesperson Col Moatshe Ngoepe said that on Saturday, 5 October, the police had received a tip-off from the public about a man in possession of stolen cellphone tower batteries.

“The suspect was immediately followed by a team comprised of Makhado SAPS Crime Prevention members, detectives and Crime Intelligence, with the support from the local security companies until he was cornered and arrested at one of the buildings in the area,” said Ngoepe.

He was referring to the house in Eltivillas where the man apparently tried to evade arrest by hiding in the house’s ceiling.

Following the suspect’s arrest, the police

the theft of batteries at the Dutch Reformed Church, Ngoepe said they were still profiling him and would only know at a later stage if he could be linked to more, similar cases.

Hofnuus

Aanklaer waarsku “dronkbestuurders” teen slim slenter (Vervolg van p. 1) Die afgelope week was daar dus talle oproepe tussen Stefan en Maritz, met Stefan wat herhaaldelik gepleit het vir meer tyd om die geld bymekaar te kry. Maritz het aanvanklik vir Stefan geskakel en gesê dat die uitslag van sy bloedtoets ontvang is en dat sy bloedalkoholvlak die toegelate limiet ver oorskry het.

Volgens Maritz was Stefan se bloedalkoholvlak 0,6%, waarop Stefan bietjie gegiggel het. “Met daai bloedalkoholvlak sou jy dood gewees het, maar ek het maar vir hom gesê ek kan regtig nie onthou dat ek sóveel daardie aand gedrink

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het die grootste deel van die Zoutpansberger se voorblad gehandel oor die voorstel om die Soutpansberg te omskep in ‘n reuse bewaringsgebied.

Sowat 15 plaaseienaars het bymekaar gekom om die projek te bespreek. Volgens beplanning sou die bewaringsgebied strek vanaf wyle dr. Lappies Labuschagne se plaas, Hillside, buite Louis Trichardt tot

by Lesheba Wilderness by die Sandrivier.

Die lekkerste lees-storie op die voorblad was egter die kort artikel van die boer wat ‘n jong man aangestel het om sy plaas op te pas terwyl hy in Zimbabwe gaan kuier het.

Die jong man en sy vriende het egter aan’t drinke geraak op die plaas en met die eienaar se motorfiets begin rondjaag. In ‘n stadium het die fiets omgeval en begin petrol lek.

Die jong man het toe sy sigaretaansteker gebruik om beter te sien waar lek die petrol.

Die motorfiets het aan die brand geslaan en uitgebrand. Daarna het die jong man in die eienaar se bakkie begin rondjaag met die idee om met die eienaar se gewere te gaan jag. Na ‘n ongeluk het die man hom in die polisie vasgeloop en vandaar ‘n string klagte teen die man.

Op die politieke front het die bestaande munisipaliteit nog sy voete probeer vind in ‘n veranderende politieke bedeling. Die

recovered 20 cellphone tower batteries, a bolt cutter, grinders, a gas cutting torch, screwdrivers and a white GWM bakkie.

The suspect, Francis Muzenda, appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court on Monday on charges of, among others, the possession of suspected stolen goods and being in possession of housebreaking equipment. Bad news for him is that he was also charged in accordance with the Criminal Matters Amendment Act, Act 18 of 2015, which came into operation on 1 June 2016. What this act means is that, should Muzenda be found guilty, the law requires mandatory imprisonment without the option of a fine. The Act was specifically introduced the curb the high frequency of theft of the country’s essential infrastructure. Persons found guilty of such offences expose themselves to much harsher sentences. Muzenda’s case was postponed until 15 October for a formal bail application. He will remain in custody until then.

Asked whether Muzenda could be linked to

gevegte het veral gehandel oor die nuwe Oorgangsraad se forumsamestelling en area.

Vyf-en-twintig jaar gelede het die streek ook gebuk gegaan onder veldbrande te midde van ‘n knellende droogte. Die droogte was toe heelwat erger, met die Albasinidam wat in daardie stadium op slegs 11% gestaan het.

het nie,” het Stefan gesê. In Suid-Afrika is die alkohollimiet tans ‘n alkohol-inhoud in die asem van nie meer as 0,24 mg per 1000 ml nie, of ‘n alkoholinhoud in die bloed van nie meer as 0,05 g per 100 ml nie. Vir professionele bestuurders, soos taxibestuurders, busbestuurders en vragmotorbestuurders, is dit 0,02 g per 100 ml bloed.

Maritz het vir Stefan gesê dat as hy R10 000 betaal (R5 000 vir die magistraat en R5 000 vir die aanklaer en ander “rolspelers”) sal die saak teen hom teruggetrek word. Maritz het volgehou dat die geld slegs per eWallet elektronies betaal kan word. Andersins, het Maritz gewaarsku, sal die saak onmiddellik voorkom, waartydens Stefan skuldig bevind sal word, ‘n boete van tussen R40 000 en R50 000 opgelê sal word en dan nog sal sit met ‘n kriminele rekord.

Wat vir Stefan verbysterend was, was die hoeveelheid detail van die saak wat Maritz gehad het toe hy hom die eerste keer geskakel het. “Toe hy my die eerste keer bel, het hy my ID-nommer, my volle name, my adres en die besonderhede omtrent my arrestasie gehad. Dit sluit in die datum van my oortreding, elke ding. So, hy het al daardie inligting van êrens gekry,” het Stefan gesê.

Oor waar hierdie “êrens” is, kon Stefan net spekuleer. “Maar dit is net die polisie wat hierdie inligting gehad het,” het Stefan gesê. Mostert het egter gewaarsku dat mense nie te vinnig vingers moet wys nie. “Ons sê nie hy is ‘n polisieman nie, maar hy moet sy inligting van êrens kry. Die mense wat hy bel is mense wat werklik gevang is en wat werklik wag vir hulle bloeduitslae van die laboratorium af,” het Mostert gesê.

Terug na Mostert en Stefan se pogings om Maritz uit te lok. Dinsdagoggend was die finale betaaldatum vir Stefan. Die polisie kon tot in daardie stadium nog nie veel doen nie, omdat hulle volgens polisiebeleid slegs ‘n selfoonnommer mag naspoor indien iemand se lewe in gevaar is. “Dit is wat dit so moeilik maak om hierdie ouens wat selfone vir hulle slenters gebruik, vas te trek. Die ou kan enige plek in die land sit,” het Mostert gesê.

Stefan en Mostert het besluit dat as Maritz dalk in Louis Trichardt sit, hulle hom gaan probeer vastrek deur die omkoopgeld in kontant aan hom aan te bied. In die teenwoordigheid van Mostert het Stefan Dinsdagoggend vir Maritz geskakel en gesê hy het sy geld en wag vir hom in sy voertuig voor die magistraatskantoor op Louis Trichardt. Dié nuus het Maritz erg ontstel. Hy het vir Stefan gesê dit was nie die ooreenkoms nie en dat hy nou maar sal voortgaan om Stefan se saak op die hofrol te plaas vir die volgende dag. “Hy het gesê hy gaan nie uitkom om die geld te kry nie. Dit is toe wat ek vir hom vra hoe sal ek weet ek die saak is wel teruggetrek. Sy

antwoord was dat hy die terugtrekverklaring vir my sal e-pos,” het Stefan gesê.

Dit was in daardie stadium dat Mostert die foon by Stefan gevat het en vir Maritz gesê het dat hy nou eintlik met die regte senior aanklaer van Louis Trichardt praat. Mostert het vir Maritz gesê dat hy maar kan ophou met sy skelmstreke en dat hulle bewus is van al die ander mense wat hy geskakel het. “Al wat hy vir my gesê het, is ‘Dis reg so meneer. Geen probleem nie meneer’, maar ek het vir hom gesê hy het ‘n probleem want die owerhede is op sy spoor,” het Mostert gesê. Mostert het sommer ook vir Maritz aangeraai om homself te gaan oorgee om hom verdere drama te spaar, waarop Maritz sy foon doodgedruk het.

Wat in al die gevalle teen Maritz getel het, is die feit dat al die klaers die personeel by die plaaslike magistraatskantoor geken het en geweet het daar werk nie ‘n Maritz nie. Desnieteenstaande het Mostert gesê die slenter is sleg vir hul professie. “Uit die aard van die saak is dit sleg vir die landdroste, want hy noem die landdroste moet ‘n deel kry. Dit is sleg vir die staatsaanklaer want hy noem dat die staatsaanklaer ‘n deel moet kry. Dit is ‘n hele korrupte sisteem, alhoewel die hele ding ‘n slenter blyk te wees ...

As mense gaan begin praat wat nie die landdroste in Louis Trichardt ken nie, gaan hulle sê die landdroste hier vat geld onder die tafel deur.

Voor jy jou oë uitvee, skinder die mense agter jou rug, so ons moet hierdie storie openbaar. Ek doen dit in die belang van die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag se reputasie,” het Mostert gesê.

Dit is duidelik dat daar heelwat meer “slagoffers” kan wees. “Om jou ‘n idee te gee. Die aand toe ek toegesluit is vir dronkbestuur, was ek een van ses ouens in die sel wat vir dieselfde oortreding toegesluit is. Net die een outjie het ‘n skulderkenningsboete betaal, maar ek het besluit om my saak in die hof te gaan beveg.

Dit was een aand, maar hoeveel mense is nog oor ‘n jaar periode toegesluit?” het Stefan gesê.

Mostert het bygevoeg dat daar letterlik honderde sulke uitstaande sake in elke dorp landswyd kan wees. “Die ou moet geld maak. Ek is seker daar is mense wat betaal. Wat die slenter goed maak, is die houvas wat Maritz op sy slagoffers het.

Baie mense sal eerder die omkoopgeld betaal om hulle naam skoon te hou, as om ‘n astronomies boete te betaal en met ‘n kriminele rekord te sit.

Die ironie is dat selfs al betaal jy die omkoopgeld, dit niks gaan verander aan jou hofsaak nie.

Jy kan steeds skuldig bevind word,” het Mostert gesê.

Ná afloop van die poging om Maritz vas te trek, is daar besluit om uit te vind wat presies die huidige status van Stefan se saak is. By verdere navraag is bevestig dat sy saak volgens polisierekords “afgehandel en geliasseer” is.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 11 OKTOBER 2019

Frustrasie met konstruksie van nuwe pad byna verby Deur Andries van Zyl Goeie nuus vir inwoners van Louis Trichardt is dat die huidige padwerke aangrensend tot die “nuwe” Makhado Crossing winkelkompleks na verwagting hierdie week iets van die verlede sal wees.

“Die publiek het baie met ons baklei oor die ontwrigting wat die padwerke veroorsaak het, maar as alles volgens plan verloop, sal die pad nog hierdie week weer oopgestel word,” het mnr. Pierre Theron, konstruksiebestuurder vir

die Jodan Construction-groep op terrein, Woensdag gesê. Hy het om verskoning gevra vir enige ongerief wat vanweë hierdie noodsaaklik konstruksiewerk veroorsaak is.

Volgens Theron het hulle Maandag begin om die “nuwe” pad te teer en teen Woensdag was groot dele teerwerk reeds voltooi. Die beplanning was dat alle werk teen Donderdag hierdie week voltooi sou wees. Jodan Construction, ‘n Pretoriase konstruksiemaatskappy, was ook verantwoordelik vir die grondwerke ten opsigte van die sentrum se nuwe parkeerterrein.

Konstruksie aan die pad op die gedeeltes van die R524 tussen die N1 en Leeustraat het in Julie begin. Die projek maak voorsiening vir dubbelbaanverkeer in beide rigtings tussen die N1 en ‘n tweede groot verkeersirkel waar Oranjestraat (uit Eltivillas) by die R524 aansluit. Soortgelyk is daar ook ‘n nuwe ingang tot die R524 vanaf Rietbokstraat gemaak. “Dit sal dien as tweede ingang vir Makhado Crossing,” het Theron gesê.

Alle kontrakte op die terrein van die

nuwe Makhado Crossing nader vinnig voltooiing, met die sentrum wat op 21 November vanjaar amptelik weer sal open.

Die eienaars van die sentrum, die Masingita Group of Companies, het in ‘n verklaring in September gesê dat, by voltooiing van die huidige uitbreidings en verbeteringe aan die sentrum, sal die sentrum se verhuurbare vloerspasie vanaf 14 000 m² gegroei het na 35 000 m². As deel van die R500

3

miljoen belegging in die sentrum, is alle bestaande huurders se persele ook opgegradeer. Terwyl die nuwe sentrum sal spog met anker huurders soos Pick n Pay en ‘n splinternuwe Checkers, het ander groot handelsname soos Woolworths, Standard Bank, Absa Bank, Mr Price Home en Sheet Street ook besluit om oor te skuif na die nuwe sentrum.

Nuwe huurders sal onder meer insluit Dis-Chem, Mr Price Sport en ‘n nuwe Roman’s Pizza Drive Thru.

Maandag is begin met die teer van die nuwe gedeelte op die R524 tussen die N1 en Leeustraat aangrensend tot die Makhado Crossing winkelsentrum. Konstruksiewerk aan die pad, as deel van die opgradering van Makhado Crossing, het die afgelope paar maande grootskaalse ontwrigting veroorsaak. Volgens beplanning sal die pad egter hierdie week weer oopgestel word.

Die opgradering van die R524 tussen die N1 en Leeustraat maak ook voorsiening vir ‘n nuwe ingang vanaf Rooibokstraat wat as tweede ingang sal dien vir Makhado Crossing.

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) has announced the temporary termination of their long-distance passenger train services, Shosholoza Meyl and Premier Classe, on the Musina, Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth, Cape Town to East London and Komatipoort lines due to “internal challenges”.

In a media statement issued on Wednesday, the company said that Main Line Passenger Services (MLPS) management is working around the clock to ensure that both trains are reinstated as soon as possible. “The customer’s needs are always at the heart of the business and we wish to extend apologies to all affected customers for the inconvenience caused,” the statement read.

The company gave customers the assurance that they will communicate with them once the decision is taken to reinstate the train services.

Tornados kom nie sommer in Suid-Afrika voor nie, veral nie in Louis Trichardt nie.

Lief jou vir altyd,” het dogter Louise gesê. ‘n Roudiens vir wyle oom Tienie sal eerskomende Donderdag, 10 Oktober, in Pretoria gehou word. Hy word oorleef deur dogters Louise (en skoonseun Gerrie) en Elize (en skoonseun Jaco Oosthuizen), broer Fanie, susters Petro Fourie en Heleen Smith, ses kleinkinders en drie agterkleinkinders. Die familie het hulle dank uitgespreek teenoor alle vriende, familie en kennisse vir hulle woorde van vertroosting en ondersteuning in hierdie moeilike tyd.

Beware malaria season is approaching fast Health The National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) has issued an alert the past month, warning residents that we are entering malaria season once more.

The NICD states that the traditional malaria season in southern Africa is from September to May, but cases can occur throughout the year.

“The seasonal peak in malaria cases is usually from November to end of April. The annual spraying of houses in the malaria areas will start in October and preparations are in progress. It is not possible to predict the nature of the season, but every confirmed case of malaria is reported and investigated, and trends are closely monitored,” said the NICD. Compared with 2018, the NICD said that

by June this year (most recent data available) there was a 39% reduction in South Africa’s total cases for the same period, and in Mpumalanga, an 87% reduction. “Visitors to northern KwaZulu-Natal Province, the lowveld areas of Mpumalanga Province, including the Kruger National Park and areas bordering the park, north-eastern Limpopo Province, and especially those visiting Mozambique, must take

precautions against mosquito bites by using effective insect repellent applied to exposed skin areas after sunset, and use mosquito coils, fans and air-conditioning, and even mosquito nets, in high-risk areas. Visitors should consider taking prophylactic drugs if visiting high-risk areas,” said the NICD. The NICD also highlighted the importance of being aware of the symptoms of malaria, which are non-specific and overlap with those of influenza (although the influenza season is drawing to a close). “Anybody who has a ‘flu-like’ illness of fever with a headache, cold shivers, hot sweats, muscle pains, and even vomiting and diarrhoea, who has travelled or lives in a malaria area, must seek very urgent care. They must insist on a malaria blood test and obtain results promptly. If negative, the test should be repeated.

“If positive, treatment must be started urgently,” said the NICD. They added that malaria was eminently treatable if diagnosed and treated in the first 48 hours after symptoms developed. “If treatment is delayed, the infection will progress rapidly and becomes difficult to treat. Complications are common and there is a high risk of death from malaria in this situation,” said the NICD.

DORPSWAG JAARVERGADERING Lede

PUK WORD 150

Die Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir Christelike Hoër Onderwys is 150 jaar gelede in 1869 gestig. Die bestuur van die Noordwes-Universiteit (wat onder andere uit die PU vir CHO gegroei het), het ten spyte van verskeie versoeke, besluit om nie ‘n 150-jarige bestaansjaarfees te reël of regstreeks by so ‘n fees betrokke te wees nie.

Daarom het ‘n aantal oudstudente van die universiteit besluit om as alumni ‘n eie feesgeleentheid te reël om die ryke geskiedenis en prestasies van die afgelope 150 jaar te herdenk. Die fees vind op Saterdag, 30 November, vanjaar in Potchefstroom plaas.

Ou Pukke, jonge Pukke, NWU-Pukke, kortom alle Oud-Pukke, word hartlik uitgenooi om die fees by te woon en lekker saam te kuier.

Vir meer inligting oor die program, skakel prof. Callie Coetzee (082 337 7951), dr. Pieter Mulder (082 550 7795) of dr. Theuns Eloff (082 806 4956).

Kulturele Organisasie van die Verenigde Nasies) op 5 Oktober 1966 ‘n resolusie onderteken het waarin die status en situasie van onderwysers regoor die wêreld aangespreek word.

“Dit is ‘n spesiale dag wat gewy word aan elke onderwyser wat met oorgawe en passie hierdie hoë roeping vervul. Ja, om ‘n onderwyser te wees, is verseker een van dié belangrikste en noodsaaklikste beroepe waartoe iemand hom kan voeg,” het die voorsitter van die skool se beheerliggaam, ds. Innes Nagel, tydens die geleentheid gesê. Internasionale Onderwysersdag het ten doel om waardering, verbetering en professionele ontwikkelingsgeleenthede vir alle onderwysers te bied en vanjaar se tema is “Om jong onderwysers wat in dié beroep staan, te ondersteun en optimaal toe te rus”.

“As beheerliggaam en ouers wil ons die onderwysers van ons pragtige spogskool van harte bedank vir hul onbaatsugtige en onvermoeide werkywer. Julle is lewensvormers wat ons oogappels, ons kinders, begelei tot volwassenheid en hulle toerus vir die werk waarvoor God hulle geroep het,” het Nagel gesê. Hy het ook die skoolhoof, mnr. Louis Linde, bedank. “Dankie dat jy en jou personeel elke dag aanhou streef om te verseker dat daar inklusiewe en billike, kwaliteit onderwys plaasvind. Mag die Here elke onderwyser seën en in sy hand hou as kragtige instrument in die gemeenskap en wêreld,” het Nagel gesê.

Loading a malaicha’s trailer is a science of its own. The “hard” groceries go in first, followed by blankets, with the building material going on top.

Landbounuus

Taking the long road to Rusape in a malaicha

By Bernard Chiguvare

“W

ait and see for yourself: the sky is the limit,” said the man halfway up the trailer.

He was loading more and more goods on what already appeared to be a mountain of luggage. We were about to set off for a journey to Rusape, a town about 250km west of Harare in Zimbabwe.

The “malaichas”, as the minibus taxis towing the heavy trailers are more commonly known, have fascinated me for some time. You will find them all along the N1, some even starting their arduous journey in Cape Town. Along the route they pick up more passengers, more luggage and they inevitably break down.

The more accepted version states that the word “malaicha” comes from the Ndebele language and means “transporting goods to and from”. There is also a version that says it is derived from the Swahili language where it means “angel or messenger”. I believe there must be something angelic about these transporters, because without a stack-load of belief you will not tackle such journeys with such vehicles over such distances.

A couple of months ago the urge to put a “face” to these malaichas developed. Who drives these taxis, where do they go and why are there always empty containers, a little bicycle and bags of blankets to be found somewhere in the stack on the trailer?

Two Saturday’s ago, determined to find out how the malaicha operators work, or rather survive, I travelled to South Africa’s most northern town, Musina. From there I had to get a taxi to take me to the border post at Beit Bridge.

I planned to go to the small town of Rusape which, according to Google Maps, is exactly 574km from the border post. The road winds up north to Masvingo, where it swerves east before heading north again. Google reckons it should take 7 hours and 22 minutes. I quickly found out that Google does not always know, and it definitely has not encountered a malaicha.

Carrying my two bags, I went through customs and crossed the border. A few metres into the Zimbabwean side there is an open area where I was told to look out for a malaicha driver. I was clearly not inconspicuous, as an army of taxi drivers quickly approached me. A frantic scuffle en-

sued during which I had to fight to stop the taxi drivers from grabbing my bags. Luckily, a Zimbabwean policeman came to my rescue, calling them to order and guiding me to the correct taxi rank.

At the Dulibadzimu rank, I rushed straight to a taxi destined for Rusape. “We have to load everything quickly, so that we leave Beit Bridge earlier,” said one of the helpers loading the trailer.

I stood watching while the pile simply got higher and higher. The stack contained building material, empty 25-litre containers (lots of them), blankets, boxes of soap, cooking oil, bicycles, disposable nappies and large bags full of chips packages (commonly known as masimba).

I was curious as to why such a strange collection of luggage. “We have to buy these empty 25-litre containers. In Zimbabwe the taps are dry most of the days, so we need to store water. We need a lot of water. At times the taps run dry for almost a week,” said one of the female passengers, whom the others call “Senior”. She goes by that name because she has been a cross-border trader since 2000.

She buys groceries and other goods from Musina for resale in Rusape.

I asked her about the other products on the trailer, like the masimba (small packets of flavoured chips). “Those are for the children,” she said, explaining that it is the cheapest “lunch pack” that parents can give to their children when sending them off to school in the morning.

As far as the loading of the trail-

will be either packets of masimba, pampers (disposable nappies) or blankets.

It is not only the trailer that has to carry the burden. On the front seat of the 26-seater taxi, the bags containing packets of bread and biscuits are loaded. The passengers go towards the rear of the vehicle.

“Why do you use the Ivecos?” I ask the driver. “We prefer using them because they can pull very well and our passengers are comfortably seated all the way to Rusape,” he says.

Behind the taxi, at the trailer, the wall goes up until every item is loaded. The load is covered with a plastic sheet and wrapped with a spider’s net of ropes. The last items to be loaded are the tyres and the building material, some of which stick out of the back and the front of the trailer.

We departed from Beit Bridge at around 18:00 and I was hoping that we would arrive at Rusape in the early morning hours. This was, unfortunately, not to be.

After travelling for about 100km, the first two tyres burst. To me it felt as if we were in the midst of nowhere, but the driver and helper did not seem perturbed.

Two spare wheels were collected from the trailer and an hour later we were on the road again.

A 150km further we stopped again. Another tyre was flat, but this time it was fixed and pumped up again. From there on it became a pattern and every 100km we stopped to check and replace tyres.

I realised why so many tyres had to be loaded onto the trailer.

on cross-border trade. All goods brought from South Africa need to be declared and the necessary money paid.

It became clear that the malaicha drivers are forced to be pragmatic when law enforcers pounce. It is simply easier to pay the informal “fine” when travelling on Zimbabwean roads. The “going rate” seems to be 20 Zimbabwean Bonds (about R30 at the time of travelling).

For the rest of the night and most of the following day, we slowly made our way to the north.

The driver may have confidence in the Iveco’s “pulling power”, but it is nowhere near fast, doing anything between 80 and 90km/h. We reached Rusape at about 16:00, after spending almost 22 hours in the taxi.

My fellow-passengers were mostly small traders, doing the route at least twice a week.

After reaching home on Sunday afternoon, they take a bit of a rest.

On Tuesday afternoon, they leave Rusape again, heading south. They arrive on Wednesday in Musina and do their shopping. Some go further south where the big retailers are. On Wednesday evening the malaichas head north. They arrive on Thursday afternoon and the next day the journey to the south repeats itself.

For the drivers, one of the biggest challenges is to buy fuel.

Fuel gets bought on what is known as the “parallel market”. This means spotting a person standing next to the road who will flag you down and then quickly collect a container full of fuel from the bush. “We have no choice but to buy from the parallel market, because we are not sure when we will get fuel.

Today we have used almost R1,000 worth of fuel from Beit Bridge to Rusape,” he tells me.

Is it really worth it? For me it is difficult to say. I paid R150 for my ticket to Rusape.

The profit margins cannot be big, if there are any profits to be made at all. Expenses such as fuel and maintenance are exorbitant. The hours are long and the treatment unkind.

Die Limpopo Vee en Wilddiefstal Voorko­ mingsforum het na aanleiding van die jongste misdaadstatistiek gesê dat dit duidelik is dat Polokwane, Lebowakgomo, Marble Hall en Modimolle brandpunt-areas is wat diefstal van beeste betref. Die forum het derhalwe alle vee-eienaars versoek om so spoedig moontlik hulle unieke brandmerke te registreer.

Die forum is ‘n nasionale Rooivleis Produsente Organisasie (RPO) inisiatief wat deur Limpopo RPO (LIMRPO) gedryf en geadministreer word. Die forum hou kwartaalliks vergaderings in gebiede in die provinsie waar boere baie pro­ bleme rondom vee- en wilddiefstal ervaar, en die laaste vergadering het op 10 September by die Northam Boerevereniging se saal plaasgevind.

Die forum word goed ondersteun deur die polisie se provinsiale kommissaris, die polisie se veediefstal-eenhede, sigbare polisiëring en georganiseerde landbou-organisasies wat onder die vaandel van die Limpopo Landelike Veiligheid Forum (LLVF) bedryf word. Ander perma­ nente lede van die forum sluit onder meer in die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag (NVG), LEDET en SAFLA. Tydens die laaste vergadering is klem weer gelê op die rapportering van gevalle van wild- en veediefstal. Mnr. Douw Pelser, die voorsitter van die forum, het versoek dat alle rolspelers in die rooivleisbedryf dringend ‘n aktiewe rol begin speel om veediefstal te bekamp en die algemene publiek word versoek om veeboere by te staan in die stryd teen veediefstal.

Buite hul versoek dat vee-eienaars dringend hulle unieke brandmerk moet registreer, het die forum ook gevra dat hierdie geregistreerde merk op alle betrokke vee aangebring moet word soos omskryf in die Wet op die Identifikasie van Diere, Wet 6 van 2002. Hulle het ook gevra dat die ‘Dokument van Identifikasie’ en ‘Vee-verwydering-sertifikate’ voltooi moet word en verskaf word tydens alle transaksies. “Alle veekopers, abattoirs, voerkrale en afslaers moet ook vee-eienaarskap bevestig en weier om lewende hawe in besit te neem wat nie gemerk is nie of waar die nodige ‘Dokumente van Identifikasie’ en ‘Vee-verwydering’ nie die besending vergesel nie,” het die forum gesê.

Die Registrateur op Brandmerke is tans ook besig om die brandmerkregister op datum te bring en alle vee-eienaars word ook versoek om hul brandmerksertifikaatinligting op te dateer. Die volgende inligting kan per e-pos aan die Limpopo RPO se kantore gestuur word by w.prinsloo1@mweb.co.za, naamlik ID-nommer, volle name en van, provinsie, landdrosdistrik, plaasnaam, posadres en selfoonnommer.

“Vee- en wildeienaars word versoek om alle diefstalsake by die SAPD-aanklagkantoor aan te meld. Die saaknommers en waar probleme ondervind word, kan deurgegee word aan LIMRPO se kantore vir opvolging deur die regte kanale,” het die forum gesê. Hul volgende vergadering vind plaas op 12 November in Polokwane.

The Louis Trichardt Parkrun will start earlier this Saturday. The organisers of the event announced that from 12 October the Parkrun will start at 07:00, instead of the usual 08:00.

According to Ferreira Nel, one of the local organisers, it was decided to change the starting time to 07:00 during the summer period. This was to compensate for the hot summer mornings. It may also assist some of the businesspeople who want to do the Parkrun

and be back at their shops when they open at 09:00.

The weekly Parkrun initiative has shown consistent growth the past year. The group of runners and walkers start off at the information centre on the corner of Songozwi Street and the N1. The route that they follow stretches all the way to Stubbs Street where it turns north and then heads back. The runners and walkers do two rounds, which total five kilometres.

The Parkrun is an international event, supported

by millions of people who believe in a healthy lifestyle and communities. No fees are payable and the events are run by groups of volunteers.

People are advised to register first at www.parkrun.co.za to obtain a registration card with a unique barcode. The card can be printed out and will be scanned at the finish line. Every athlete’s time is captured on the online website and serves as an activity tracker, showing details such as fastest times and overall performance.

Para-athlete classification this Saturday Para-athletics On Saturday, 12 October, para-athletes (athletes with physical challenges) will have the opportunity to be evaluated and classified right here in Louis Trichardt.

Under the auspices of the SASAPD (South African Sport Association for Physically Disabled), a Limpopo provincial classification

event has been arranged to take place from 09:00 until 17:00. Louisa Kirsten, physiotherapist at the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital, and one of the few South African international assessors for the classification of para-athletes, will head the panel of classifiers, with two classifiers travelling from Gauteng to form part of the panel. The classification will take place at Louis Trichardt Laerskool’s athletics field and

Die streek se skuts kon Saterdag hul vernuf agter die sneller wys tydens die Ultimate Shot-skietkompetisie op SMG se skietbaan buite Musina. Die kompetisie is aangebied deur African Outdoorsman, in samewerking met die Bosveld Jagters- en Wildbewaringsvereniging (BJV) se Kremetart-tak. Die kompetisie is oor vyf dissiplines geskiet, naamlik pistool, semi-auto, kleiduifskiet, 200m ghong skiet en 50m en 100m groeperingskiet. Die algehele wenner die dag was Francois Dillman (regs). Hy wen ‘n 6.5 Creedmoor-jaggeweer. Links staan Willie Cronjé (hoofborg) van Outdoorsman in Polokwane. Sien meegaande foto’s vir die algehele tweede en derde plek. Die ander afdelingwenners die dag was Ine-Marie Fourie (ghong), Waldo van Deemter (kleiduif ), Marc Swanepoel (pistool) terwyl Francois ook die semi-auto en groeperingskiet afdelings wen.

Isability Sports Club Limpopo is assisting with transport and accommodation for the “imported” classifiers.

Classification of para-athletes is essential for any athlete who wishes to participate at a provincial, national or international level.

Correspondence regarding the opportunity for classification on 12 October has been circulated to clubs in the Limpopo Province. However,

some local disabled athletes might not be members of a club and thus not aware of the day.

Those who are interested in finding out more about how to start their journey as a para-athlete or who would like to be classified are invited to contact Louisa Kirsten (083 561 5983) or Sandy James (084 506 3333 or 015 516 9856).

In die algehele derde plek tydens die afgelope naweek se Ultimate Shot-kompetisie was Courtney Terblanche. Hy wen ‘n 12-boor Nordiske haelgeweer. Links staan Willie Cronjé (hoofborg) van Outdoorsman in Polokwane.
