Dit was nie sy tyd nie Deur Andries van Zyl

“Dit was nie my tyd gewees nie …” Dit was die woorde van die 70-jarige mnr. Harry du Plessis wat Maandagmiddag deur drie mans op sy kleinhoewe aangeval, beroof en herhaaldelik met ‘n mes gesteek is. Die drama het omstreek 16:30 op een van die Rietvlei-kleinhoewes buite Louis Trichardt afgespeel. Harry het Dinsdagaand vanuit sy hospitaalbed in die Mediclinic in Tzaneen vertel van die vorige dag se skokgebeure. “Wat gebeur het, is ek het van die werk af gekom, die hek oopgesluit en ingery. Toe ek die hek wou toemaak, toe is die een hond uit. Ek het die hond geroep, maar

die hond wou nie luister nie. Toe sien ek hy kyk die veld in. Die volgende oomblik kom die drie op my af en ek spring om die hek toe te kry, maar ek was nie betyds nie,” het Harry gesê Die drie mans het vir Harry, wat met behulp van ‘n loopraam loop, oorrompel en na sy huis begin sleep. Die een man was ongemasker, die ander een het ‘n halwe balaklawa en bril opgehad en die derde het ‘n vol balaklawa gedra. “Dit het so skop en slaan gegaan,” het Harry gesê. Tot Harry se skok het hy gesien hoe een van die drie ‘n pistool uittrek. “Die een het vir hom iets gesê en toe bêre hy die pistool. Dis toe dat hulle met die mes begin. Hulle het my vier keer gesteek, een in die long in,” het Harry gesê. Harry het gesê hy weet nie waarom hulle hom nie geskiet het nie en of dit hul bedoeling was om hom eerder dood te steek. Feit van die saak, die steekwond in sy rug, wat sy linkerlong binnegedring het, kon noodlottig gewees het. So ook die messteek in sy nek wat rakelings sy slagaar gemis het. Hy het ook geweldig baie bloed verloor van nog ‘n steekwond aan die agterkop. Volgens Harry wou die mans van die begin af geld hê. “Hulle het net geskreeu Money! Money! Money, you mother f#@ cker!,” het Harry gesê. Die mans het Harry se sakke deursoek en sy geld, bankkaarte en ID-kaart gevat. Die geld was vanaf sy besigheid, Japanese Engines, in Louis Trichardt. “Ek het ‘n fout gemaak om dit by my te hou,” het Harry gesê. Sy aanvallers het ook juweliersware van hom gebuit. In ‘n stadium, het Harry gesê, wou hulle sy huissleutel hê, maar die geluk was aan Harry se kant. Volgens hom het hulle sy huissleutel in sy sak gemis toe hulle hom

deursoek het. “Ek het vir hulle gesê ek het nie ‘n huissleutel nie,” het Harry gesê. Op ‘n vraag of hy in enige stadium gedink het hy gaan sterf, was Harry se antwoord nogal verbasend. “Ek was so kalm soos ‘n daggawalm. Dit is net die Here wat jou daardie kalmte gee,” het Harry gesê. Buiten vir die messteke het die drie mans Harry ook erg geskop. “Dit was nie soos ‘n sokkerskop nie. Dit was soos wanneer hulle jou met die skoen se hak plat skop,” het Harry gesê. Volgens Harry het die aanval sowat 10 tot 15 minute aangehou. Dit was ook net genade dat sy aanvallers uiteindelik gevlug het. “Toe hulle my so met die mes steek, toe speel ek dood. Ek het net bly lê. Dit is toe dat hulle met die bakkie ry,” het Harry gesê. Hy het sy aanvallers as jonk en heel onkundig beskryf. Die een wat sy bakkie gegryp het, het Harry vertel, kon nie uit eerste rat kom nie. “Hy het die bakkie so ge-ref dat jy dit sekerlik in die dorp sou kon hoor,” het Harry gesê. Nadat dit stil geword het, het Harry nog vir ‘n geruime tyd stil op die grond gelê. “My een hond het toe gekom en die bloed aan my gesig kom lek. Ek het opgestaan en die honde eers gaan kos gee. Wie ander sou hulle kos gee? Ek bly alleen,” het Harry gesê. In daardie stadium het Harry reeds geweldig baie bloed verloor. Vriende en familie sou na die tyd opmerk dat dit ‘n absolute wonderwerk is dat hy nie net daar op die plaas doodgebloei het nie. Harry was egter baie bewus daarvan dat hy dringend hulp nodig gehad het. Hy het in sy ander bakkie geklim en begin dorp toe ry. Nog ‘n gelukskoot het hom ingewag. Harry se buurvrou, Marlize Botha, het Die 70-jarige mnr. Harry du Plessis wys die steekwonde aan sy rug en hom langs die pad gewaar en besef daar agterkop.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 12 JULIE 2019

No sheltered life for refugees at Musina shelters We encounter them in our communities every day – the people scouring for trash, pushing trolleys filled with boxes or glass bottles. Some have other means of securing a meagre income, such as performing duties as car guards, while others stand around waiting on street corners hoping to get a “piece job”. Most of them are from our neighbouring country, Zimbabwe, but some come from countries further north, and many are undocumented citizens constantly on the lookout for police who may deport them. Some have “aslam” papers (asylum seekers), which they hope will give them a bit of an advantage in trying to secure a solid job. Freelance journalist Bernard Chiguvare spent a few days in Musina, tracking down these “foreigners” and trying to establish why they are here and what type of life they lead.

The story of a Zimbabwean refugee The protracted problems with the Zimbabwean economy have brought misery to most of its citizens. In November 2017, the 37-year-long iron-fist rule of Robert Mugabe ended, and many believed that the dawn of a new Zimbabwe had arrived. For most citizens, unfortunately, the situation remained dire and many of them looked to South Africa as a way of escaping from poverty.

Vimbisai* and her husband are two of the undocumented Zimbabwean citizens who made their way across the border in December last year. They are from Mhondoro, a rural area roughly 200 km southwest of Harare. After carefully considering all the options, they decided to leave their three children with relatives and head south to try and find employment in South Africa. Back home life was tough for the family. At times they had to go for days without a proper meal. The children had dropped out of school as they could not afford to buy school uniforms or pay the school fees. “We could not sustain life back home. My husband and I decided to come to look for work, so that we could feed and educate our children,” explained Vimbisai. When arriving in Musina, the northern-most border town, they realised that opportunities were few and conditions were far from ideal. South African employers give preference to people with working permits, something that Vimbisai and her husband did not have. The family members were quickly split up as no shelters can be found that can accommodate men and women together. Vimbisai was accommodated in a women’s shelter run by the local Catholic Church, while her husband had to find refuge at the men’s shelter, run by the Musina Ministry of

Compassion church. “We cannot rent a room and stay as a family, so we decided to seek accommodation at these refugee shelters. My husband stays at a men’s shelter a few kilometres away. He is not working. Even though he regularly comes to visit, we do not have enough family time,” said Vimbisai. On the day Zoutpansberger visited the women’s shelter, most of the refugees stayed indoors because they were afraid that the police might pay them a visit. Here we found Vimbisai with her toddler wrapped in a blanket on her back. When they left Zimbabwe, her baby was less than a year old. Vimbisai wakes up early every morning to go and search for recyclable material in the streets of Musina. On the day of our visit, she had just returned from a nearby shebeen where empty 750ml beer bottles are discarded. Her excursion was cut short by the presence of a police van. She only managed to pick up one empty bottle. “I cannot move freely around Musina to collect the recyclable material, because I can be arrested and deported anytime,” said Vimbisai. She complained that she did this every day, but the income derived in this manner was meagre and did not sustain the family. When Zoutpansberger visited the men’s shelter at the Musina Ministry of Compassion church in Matswale, Vimbisai’s husband had already gone out looking for recyclable material in town.

Fleeing from the DRC Back at the women’s shelter, we were introduced to Georgette Witangila and Happy Kinanga from the South Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Both fled from the war that has displaced and killed thousands of people in that country. The two women claim that they are victims of rape by the rebels fighting the DRC government. Witangila (24) arrived in the country in April with her seven-month-old baby, while Kinanga (23) arrived in June, with her baby of six months. Conditions at the shelter are far from ideal. The room they share with the other women has 18 beds, but unfortunately the two could not get beds. They sleep on the floor between some beds, covering themselves with thin blankets. According to Kinanga, the shelter offers porridge for breakfast only for the children. The rest get a meal at lunchtime, but no supper is supplied. By fleeing to South Africa, they hoped to make a living through engaging in odd jobs, but they are not free to move around seeking for employment, because they are still waiting for temporary asylum papers. “We can only walk out of this shelter on Mondays or Tuesday when we go out to the offices of Home Affairs for asylum papers,” said Witangila while breastfeeding her baby. She complained that they had been visiting the Musina Home Affairs

Vimbisai*, a Zimbabwean refugee.

office several times, only to be told to come back the following week. Witangila told us that she was an orphan. Her parents were killed during the war in early 2007. Before she fled the country, some distant family members took care of her. Kinanga explained that they had had no choice but to flee the war-torn DRC. “I was subject to abuse, which included rape. I did not want to have another baby, so I sought help from long-distance haulage truck drivers travelling from the DRC to South Africa. The driver bought me food. For the whole week while we travelled from DRC to South Africa, I breastfed my child,” she said.

No shelter for a shelter At the men’s shelter, we found Bishop Simon Sithole, the founder of the Musina Ministry of Compassion church. The conditions at this shelter were clearly far worse than at the women’s shelter. Sithole showed us an unpaid water and electricity bill of R178 122,67. “This water bill is outstanding since 2008. I pleaded with the Musina Municipality not to cut off the water, since this was key to the lives of the refugees. Instead, the municipality opted to cut off the electricity. The refugees now have to prepare food using wood,” said Sithole. Sithole has been running the shelter since 2005. The number of refugees increased between 2008 and 2009, because most Zimbabweans flocked to the country after the collapse of the economy. During that period, the water bill increased dramatically. Sithole tried to negotiate with the municipality, but not many options existed. They suggested that he should pay off part of the debt in a lump sum and the rest in monthly instalments. “I am unemployed, and I cannot afford it, so I turned to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for help,” Sithole said. He did not find any assistance and now accuses the UNHCR of taking a back seat. “This surprised me, because this office is the one dealing with refugees,” said Sithole. According to Isabel Raisedza, who runs the shelter, they house up to 800 refugees at times. During a visit to the shelter last month, about 200 people were in the shelter, in four tents. A few were sharing mattresses, but most slept on the floor. The church can only offer them accommodation and a place to bath. Refugees have to find food for themselves. They cook food outside the tents. When it rains and they cannot light fires, they buy or beg for cooked food. Three toilets and three bathrooms are on the premises, which they keep clean themselves. Raisedza said that the numbers of refugees had dropped since the Zimbabwean Special Permit system was introduced. “My wish is to feed them, but I have no resources,” she said. *Vimbisai is not her real name.

Bejaarde vier keer met mes gesteek (Vervolg van p. 1) Sy het toe die bebloede Harry deurgejaag na die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal. By die hospitaal aangekom is Harry se toestand gestabiliseer. Hy is egter per ambulans deurgejaag na die intensiewe sorgeenheid van die Mediclinic in Tzaneen weens vrees dat die bloeding op sy linkerlong vanweë die een messteek sou vererger. Harry het sedert sy aankoms in Tzaneen Dinsdagoggend om 02:00 merkwaardige herstel getoon, in so ‘n mate dat hy deur die dag vanuit die intensiewe sorgeenheid oorgeplaas is na ‘n gewone saal. Hy was ook sterk genoeg om die aand telefonies met die Zoutpansberger te praat. Teen Woensdagoggend het dokters die dreineringspyp uit sy long verwyder. Dit was nie eers nodig vir ‘n operasie nie. Volgens sy seun, Jacques, was die kanse goed dat sy pa dalk voor die naweek weer ontslaan kon word, maar hulle wou hom nog Woensdagaand laat oorbly vir observasie. Volgens Harry het hy nie onmiddellik planne om van sy plot te trek nie. Die plot het veiligheidsmaatreëls soos ‘n dubbele elektriese heining. “Dit is seker hoekom hulle vir my by die hek gewag het,” het Harry gesê. Hy is ook nie so seker dat dit noodwendig veiliger is om in die dorp te bly nie. “Jy kan in die dorp ook aangeval word,” het Harry gesê. Volgens Harry sal hy egter in ‘n stadium moet trek. Hy het reeds die sy plot verkoop in gevolge ‘n tien-jaar afbetalingsooreenkoms. Hy het gesê hy sal trek as die plot klaar betaal is. “My groot probleem is stoorplek vir my voorraad,” het Harry gesê. Baie van sy enjins en ratkaste wat hy by sy besigheid in die dorp verkoop stoor hy op die plot.

Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder kol. Ngoepe Moatshe het by navraag die aanval bevestig en het Woensdag gesê dat nog niemand in verband met die voorval aangekeer is nie. Harry se bakkie is wel kort na die aanval teruggevind waar sy aanvallers dit langs die pad gelos het naby 3 Myl by die verkeersirkel op die N1 suid buite Louis Trichardt. Dit is sowat sewe kilometer van sy plot.

Former wardens in court for “helping” seven escape By Andries van Zyl

Sixteen former South African Custodial Management (SACM) prison wardens appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court on Friday, 5 July, on charges of aiding escapees and interference with correctional or custody officials. The case against the 16 relates to a prison riot at the Kutama Sinthumule Maximum Security Prison that saw seven dangerous inmates escape on the evening of 26 October 2017. The prison riot erupted amidst protest action by a group of wardens as part of a pension-fund dispute with their employer, SACM. Because of some wardens’ neglecting their duties, violence erupted, with some prisoners setting fire to mattresses. Amidst this chaos the seven prisoners escaped. Throughout the night,

members of the local fire brigade as well as fire fighters from the Air Force Base Makhado had to assist to subdue the flames. Local police assisted by the Soutpansberg Town Watch and members from other farm-watch organisations also had to assist to get the situation under control again. Following the violence at the prison, 18 prison wardens were initially suspended by SACM. Of these, 16 were later fired by SACM. These 16 wardens are the ones who made their first court appearance last week on charges relating to helping the inmates escape by allegedly obstructing or preventing other wardens from doing their jobs. The 16 accused are Falaza Lawrence Mathebula, Avhashoni Samuel Mawela, Humbulani Wilfred Netshisaule, Enos Singo (40), Shalati Martha Chabalala (43), Khathutshelo Calvin Matamela,

Thibang Mashila Seanego, Mauvhelwana Lawrence Makatu, Rendani Mathobo (42), Takalani Patrick Ramushengi (44), Mayabye Patrick Ludere (41), Shumani Sikhwari, Nanga Collen Sadiki (44), Fumani Dennis Mageza, Rudzani David Makatu (41) and Tshilidzi Calvin Ramatshimbila. The case against the 16 was postponed until 6 August this year. All are out on a warning to appear again. The presiding officer in their case is magistrate Bennie Smith, with Mr Bethuel Makhado acting as public prosecutor. The good news is that all seven escapees were rearrested and are cur-

rently serving the remainder of their sentences. The escapees were Raphael Nyota (30) from Zimbabwe, Chris Faku (38), Jabulani Isaac Mahlangu (33) from Pretoria, Ntshengedzeni Manukha (27) from Thohoyandou, Ntshavheni Thomas Munyai (31) from Riverside, Justice Makamo (29) from Zimbabwe and Phathutshedzo Namadodzi (35) from Thohoyandou.

Skade aan pype rede vir kroniese watertekorte Deur Andries van Zyl

In wat nou al ‘n gereelde gebeurtenis geword het, was Louis Trichardt se krane telkens sedert verlede Donderdag weer droog. Dit blyk egter dat nie almal se krane droog was nie. Sommige het water gehad, ander nie. Dit het gerugte tot gevolg gehad dat munisipale amptenare, doelbewus of omdat hulle vergeet, nalaat om stopkrane weer oop te draai nadat daar aan stukkende waterpype gewerk is. Te midde van die droë krane wou baie inwoners ook weet waar die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit se watertenkwaens is wat water aan inwoners moet voorsien in geval van wateronderbrekings. Van die inwoners wat by die Zoutpansberger gekla het, het gesê hulle het gehoor dat nie een van Vhembe se watertenkwaens meer werk nie. Te midde van die kroniese wateronderbrekings was die antwoorde van Vhembe oor die rede(s) vir die tekorte maar min.

Plaaslike DA-raadslid Brian du Plooy het ook min sukses gehad. “Ek probeer die ouens bel, maar hulle druk die foon dood in my oor,” het Du Plooy gesê. In ‘n soeke na antwoorde het die Zoutpansberger Maandag vir mnr. Moses Shivambu, munisipale woordvoerder van Vhembe, gevra wat aanleiding gegee het tot die watertekorte in die dorp die afgelope week. Volgens Shivambu is verlede week se watertekorte veroorsaak deur skade aan die toevoerpyplyn vanaf die Albasinidam wat aangerig is deur kontrakteurs by die nuwe Makhado Crossing. Hy het gesê dat hulle tegnici dadelik aan die probleem aandag gegee het en dat die watertoevoer teen Saterdag herstel is. Dit was egter nie die einde van Vhembe se kopseer nie. Dinsdag het Shivambu laat weet dat die watertoevoer na Louis Trichardt onderbreek is, weer as gevolg van skade aan die hoof toevoerlyn na die dorp. Die skade het plaasgevind by die plaas Takala. “Die skade sal ‘n waterte-

kort na Louis Trichardt en Tshikota tot gevolg hê,” het Shivambu gesê. Hy het egter bygevoeg dat tegnici reeds na die toneel gestuur is om die skade te herstel. In dieselfde asem het hy om verskoning gevra aan inwoners vir enige ongerief wat hierdie kroniese watertekorte weens skade veroorsaak. “Normale watervoorsiening sal hervat sodra die skade herstel is,” het hy gesê. Shivambu het hom nie uitgespreek oor beweringe dat munisipale amptenare doelbewus of omdat hulle vergeet, nalaat om stopkrane weer oop te draai nadat beskadigde pype herstel is nie. Hy het wel gesê dat Vhembe se watertenkwaens steeds tot diens van die gemeenskap is. Oor waar om hierdie tenkwaens op te spoor in tye van watertekorte, het Shivambu gesê dat hulle hul plaaslike wyksraadslid moet skakel. Alternatiewelik het Shivambu gesê, kan hulle ook mnr. Ofentse, Vhembe se senior tegniese bestuurder, skakel by tel. 074 914 4059 in ernstige gevalle van nood.

Inwoners van die Soutpansberg neem met hartseer kennis van die dood van die 73-jarige oom Johann van den Berg op 26 Junie. Die familie het hul opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor die gemeenskap vir hul donasies ten opsigte van sy operasie verlede jaar en bystand ná sy afsterwe. Wyle oom Johann (gebore 22 Oktober 1945) word oorleef deur sy vrou Hannetjie (Blondie), seun Jurie, skoondogter Annique en kleinseun Duan van den Berg. Foto verskaf.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe “Daarin verheug julle jul, al word julle nou – as dit nodig is – ‘n kort tydjie bedroef onder allerhande beproewinge” - 1 Petrus 1:6.

aniël sê in Daniël 12:10 “baie” sal gesuiwer, gereinig en gelouter word. Waarom pas God loutering toe? In Openbaring 3:19 sê God: “Almal wat Ek liefhet, bestraf en tugtig Ek.” Heb.12:7,8 sê dit het te doen met die opvoeding en dissipline van al God se kinders: “As julle die tugtiging verdra, behandel God julle as seuns; want watter seun is daar wat die vader nie tugtig nie? Maar as julle sonder tugtiging is, wat almal deelagtig geword het, dan is julle onegte kinders en nie seuns nie.” Dit is duidelik dat God dit noodsaaklik ag om sy kinders só te toets en te louter dat dit somtyds lyk asof Hy hulle onnodig “straf”.” Vra jy waarom God jou omstandighede juis só toelaat? Die Here verduidelik selde dadelik wat Hy doen, maar as jy glo Hy handel altyd met jou in liefde en tot jou eie beswil, hoef jou son nooit agter wolke onder te gaan nie. “Wat Ek doen, begryp jy nie nou nie, maar jy sal dit hierna verstaan” (Joh. 13:7). Soms toets God ons vertroue. Toe Satan gekla het dat God Job van alles beskut, kon God sonder verduideliking die een na die ander heining van beskerming rondom Job wegneem. Al kon Job nie verstaan wat gebeur nie, het hy die vertroue-toets geslaag en kon God na elke aanslag vir Satan vra: “…het jy ag gegee op My kneg Job…? Soms toets God ons uithouvermoë. Satan sal ons altyd wil wysmaak dat ons beproe wings sonder einde sal voortduur, maar God sê hulle is “vir ‘n kort tydjie” en dan ook net as dit nodig is (1 Petrus 1:6). Hoe lank ons smartlike beproewing ook al mag duur, dit kan nooit opweeg teen die ewige heerlikheid wat vir ons wag nie (2 Korintiërs 4:16,17). Ons wil mos altyd graag alles onmiddellik verstaan, maar God kan selfs wat ons nie nou begryp nie, eers later aan ons bekend maak. Soos met Job, het Hy ook met jou en my ‘n verrassende einddoel in sig (Jakobus 5:11). - Ds. Johan Marais, Baptistegemeente, Louis Trichardt

‘Zumba with Armando’ celebration collects R13 000 towards Stabilis Charity

On 4 June 2019, friends and family and those who came to love Armando for his loving and energetic personality celebrated his life during a Zumba hour held in his honour. Armando Bianco, son of Jan and Magda Pretorius, sadly passed away on 4 June 2018. His family decided to commemorate this day by hosting a “Zumba with Armando” celebration and to utilise the opportunity to raise funds for the Stabilis Treatment Centre in Pretoria, where Armando had received treatment in the past. Stabilis is an accredited and registered treatment centre that provides treatment programmes for alcohol, medication and drug dependence. A total of R13 000 was raised and donated to Stabilis. Dr Michiel van der Merwe, director of Stabilis, has indicated that they aim to buy something very special with the funds received from this celebration. “It needs to be a motivation to others that sadness and any disappointment have the potential of being turned into a new vision of gratefulness,” he said. The personnel of Stabilis expressed their grat-

and love with this initiative. “To this day, even a year later, we receive so many messages of support and encouragement. Thank you to every single person who joined us on 4 June to ‘Zumba with Armando’ for an hour. There are so many people who loved and cared for Armando deeply. So, so many people who reach out to us. The donation shows just how much Armando was loved by all. We appreciate all the love and support from the community, thank you.”

SEZ to create more than 21 000 jobs By Silas Nduvheni

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger Die voorblad van 15 Julie 1994 herinner baie aan voorblaaie van 2019. Die nuus word oorheers deur motorongelukke en doodsberigte. Dié spesifieke week het ‘n fratsongeluk die lewe van ‘n 41-jarige inwoner van die dorp, Phillipus Daniël Grobler, geëis. Die vragmotor wat hy bestuur het se wiel het uitgeval en sy voertuig het gebots met ‘n 30-ton vragmotor. Die berig oor die konstruksiewerk aan die N1 tussen Louis Trichardt en die destydse Pietersburg, is ook interessant. Van die ouer lesers sal nog onthou dat die pad na die suide maar nou en baie gevaarlik was. Vir etlike maande moes reisigers teen 60km/h of minder voortkruie terwyl die bouwerk voortgeduur het. In Julie 1994 is tannie Alida Byles oorlede. Baie het haar geken as die vrou van voormalige burgemeester oom John Byles, maar sy het self ‘n kleurvolle geskiedenis gehad. Sy was die jongste dogter van die bekende ds. Danie van Schoor, die eerste leraar van die NG Kerk Louis Trichardtgemeente. Ds. Van Schoor, ‘n voormalige LV vir Soutpansberg, het die hoeksteen gelê van die Haantjiekerk.

itude for this kind gesture. “May each and every person who took part in this ‘Zumba with Armando’ celebration, every person who donated towards this cause, every person’s presence on the day of the Zumba hour, be favoured in return,” the centre said. “It is Armando’s memory and holding him in our hearts that hold true value and meaning for us.” Armando’s family conveyed their heartfelt gratitude to all other family members and friends and those who knew Armando, for their support, care

Nog ‘n interessante berig uit die koerant van 25 jaar gelede handel oor die naderende voltooiing van die SAVF Dienssentrum. Die dienssentrum sou voorsien in die behoeftes van nagenoeg 240 bejaardes. Die aanvanklike beplanning was vir twee vleuels, wat ‘n hand- en naaldwerksentrum sou insluit, maar dit moes weens ‘n gebrek aan fondse weggelaat word. Die primêre funksie van die dienssentrum sou wees om maaltye, gesondheidsorg, tuishulpdienste en vervoer vir bejaardes te bied. Die sentrum sou ook dienste aan gestremde inwoners verskaf.

Premier Chupu Mathabatha said the flagship Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Project was nearing the implementation stage and in this regard they were designing measures to ensure that the significant value chain to be produced in this SEZ remained in the province. “Our focus is to ensure that a significant number of the projected jobs should be taken up by the people of Limpopo, particularly our young people. It is also worth mentioning that, due to the increasing investor appetite in this project, our initial target of creating 21 000 jobs is set to be revised upwards,” said Mathabatha.

He made these comments during the State of the Province Address in Lebowakgomo. He said that in an effort to get the construction work started at this SEZ, “I have since directed the MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism to fast-track the finalization of the environmental impact assessment and the adoption of the internal master plan by October of this year”. He added that the Tubatse SEZ was at an advanced stage. “Our business proposal will most likely be lodged with the Minister for Trade & Industry and Economic Development by the end of August. Pending this formal process, we will be continuing with the industrial activities within this envisaged Tubatse SEZ and

these include, but are not limited to, the mining input supplier park and construction incubation,” he said. Mathabatha said that, in the same vein, they had established a partnership with the Department of Higher Education and Training, TVET colleges in particular, for SEZ skills-development purposes. “We are also establishing a Limpopo Skills Academy through the Limpopo Economic Development Agency (LEDA). This academy is expected to feed the skills demands for these SEZ initiatives. We have completed a youth-digital-skills database, and it has enabled us to digitize varied skills possessed by young people in our province,” he added.

Please continue to support TNR Animal Welfare

Residents of the Soutpansberg are reminded of the good work being done by die volunteers at Project TNR (Trap Neuter Return) in Louis Trichardt. Project TNR is a globally recognized initiative where feral cats are humanely trapped, sterilized, rabies vaccinated, ear-tipped and returned to their colony. The volunteers at Project TNR Louis Trichardt believe that every cat matters, including feral, abandoned, injured and sick cats. This passion keeps them going through the hard times, the heartaches and the frustrations. A lot of dedication is required for trapping, feeding and providing medical attention when needed. This is done after most volunteers finish their day jobs, and hours are spent trying to catch these cats, often while having to listen to people threatening the lives and well-being of cats as they see them as a nuisance or a pest. TNR Louis Trichardt’s vision is to change the community one cat at a time by working a 17-hour day to ensure every cat, feral or domestic, is neutered to end the heart-breaking cycle of unwanted

litters. They strive to educate, advise and help the general public and pet owners, even when their funds are running low. Colonies of cats are fed at various spots with food that is bought out of their own pocket. Trapping also takes place on Tuesday nights and sometimes guardians are willing to take care or donate towards the neutering happening the next day. These are but a few of the services rendered by Project TNR daily. Regarding the above, the Project TNR Louis Trichardt team are asking residents to have compassion for all cats and not to threaten, harm or kill any cat. Motorists are urged to drive with caution, looking out for cats that may be in the streets. Cat owners are also encouraged to have their own cats neutered. “Please respect and have patience for the person(s) behind Project TNR Louis Trichardt. They are doing the best they can, and if you are able to, please donate to Project TNR Louis Trichardt as every rand helps,” said the team. To find out more about the project, phone Megan Terink at 082 804 6180, Laura van Zyl at 083 404 6751 or Marinda van der Walt at 076 898 1994.

WAT GEBEUR? (Contd from P 6) The Battle of the Somme occurred between 1 July and 18 November 1916 and is described as one of the bloodiest battles in human history. More than one million men were wounded or killed on the banks of the river Somme in France. The South African influence on the battle was significant. On 15 July 1916, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 1st South African Infantry Brigade were sent into Delville Wood to clear it of German troops and consolidate the front line. The fighting was fierce and soon the 1st SAI Battalion was also sent in, making for a total of 3 032 men and 123 officers. The soldiers entering the wood were exposed to gunfire from all sides and the casualties were severe. One regiment, the 4th Battalion, entered the wood with 699 men. A week later, only four officers and 38 men marched out. Overall, only 755 officers and men of the entire brigade survived. The remaining 2 400 men were either killed, wounded or missing. The ceremony at Turbi Hills Shellhole at 66 Burger Street will start at 10:30 for 11:00. Residents who had family members or close friends who were involved in this battle are welcome to participate in the event. The general public is also welcome to attend. Tea and coffee will be served afterwards. For more information, or to arrange for the laying of a wreath, Leon Barnard can be contacted at 082 893 5965 of Freddie Louw at 082 670 7020.

Father-and-son team win LTT Tennis Day

Two visitors from Bela-Bela managed to win the Louis Trichardt Tennis Day that took place on Saturday. “In the past, this day was an annual event held and attended by many clubs in the region. Over the years, it died down, but the club decided to try and get this special day going again,” said the club’s chairperson, Henk Beukes. The turnout for the event was excellent and even the weather played along nicely. “We are grateful for the big turnout, as even people from Mokopane and Bela-Bela attended the tournament,” said Beukes. The doubles tournament was won by Wynand and Jacques Bothma, who beat the local team of Elardus du Plessis and Gysbert Guillaume in the final. The following prizes were awarded at the end of the competition: * Sunita Pretorius Overall sh#t day * Pieter Guillaume - The two winners from Bela-Bela, Wynand and Jacques Bothma, with the trophy.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 12 JULY 2019

Focusing on the SPB Squash Club History The Soutpansberg Squash Club is one of the town’s older, more established clubs and its history dates back to 1977. This was the year when the four founding members, Marius Bronn, André Prinsloo, Jan Joubert and Anton van Rooyen, managed to fulfil a long-time dream of having own squash courts in Louis Trichardt. The first courts were built on the corner of the N1 and the Levubu road, where the Makhado Crossing Mall currently

is. Initially just one court was built, with a second one added in 1982. In around 1987, a third court was added with a glass back wall. The first club championships were held in 1979 and the winners were Jan Joubert and L Bezuidenhout. The club’s first chairperson was Marius Brönn, who served in this position until 1979. To date, the club has eight honorary members, namely Marius Brönn, Andre Prinsloo, Jan Joubert, Wim de Villiers, Anton van Rooyen, Marina Stoop, Michel Stolz and

The current club champions are mother-and-son combination of Erik and Ronel Welman. This photo was taken when they won the Limpopo championships in 2015.

The club members competed in the Kentron/Louis Trichardt derby in March this year at Denell Dynamics in Pretoria. Soutpansberg won the singles and doubles title. Photographed are in fron t from left Damon Scholz, Gys Guillaume, Tiaan Reinders and Erik Welman. In the middle is Ronel Welman and at the back Bertus Guillaume, Johan Bouwer, Pieter Grobler, Michael Kuhne, Dirk du Preez and Heinerich Schoeman.

Cilliers Vosloo. When a new shopping mall was built at the end of 2005, the squash courts had to be moved. The club was then relocated to premises in Oranje Street, opposite the show grounds. In October 2006, after a closure of almost a year, the new courts were opened, and the club could recommence with its activities. The new squash courts boasted air-conditioning and modern change rooms and showers. The design also made provision for a kitchen and braai area. With the expansion of the Makhado Crossing centre, the club must unfortunately move yet again. Groundwork has already started at the new site on the corner of Breda and Anderson Street. At this stage, no certainty exists when construction work on the courts will begin and when the existing facilities will be demolished.

Achievements The club has a proud history of producing some of the province’s top squash players. Erik Welman is currently ranked number one in Limpopo, with his mother, Ronel, as the provincial champion in the ladies’ category. Both Erik and Ronel have won the Limpopo championships on several occasions. Ronel has been the Louis Trichardt club’s women’s champion since 2002. She regularly represents the province at tournaments and formed part of the SA Country Districts team that took part in the SA Masters tournament in September 2018. Ronel won all her matches during this tournament, with the SACD team ending as runners-up. The club organises several tournaments every year, with

Committee

the most popular being the Soutpansberg Challenge. This tournament draws teams from as far afield as Pretoria and Polokwane. The challenge was first presented in 1987 and, apart from 2006, when no courts were available, has taken place every year. The club is affiliated with Limpopo Squash and Squash SA.

Die Zoutpansberger is besig om ‘n gids saam te stel wat die sportklubs in die dorp en onmiddellike omgewing insluit. Die idee is om die inligting op ons webtuiste te stoor waar ons ‘n blad vir elke klub genereer. Vir die volgende klompie maande wil ons probeer om elke week rofweg ‘n halfblad in die koerant af te staan aan ‘n spesifieke sportklub. Hierdie inligting word dan oorgedra na die webtuiste. In elke week se koerant is daar dan ook ‘n lys met al die sportklubs wat weekliks verskyn. Die plan is om langs elke sportklub se naam ‘n QR-skakel te hê wat dan wys na die webblad. Daar is geen koste verbonde aan die projek nie. Dit is nie ‘n kommersiële projek nie en ons idee is slegs om inwoners meer bewus te maak van die geaffilieerde sportklubs en hulle in staat te stel om vinnig en maklik uit te vind watter sportklubs is aktief in die streek en hoe om hulle te kontak. Stuur asb. inligting oor sportklubs na anton@ zoutnet.co.za of news@zoutnet.co.za. • Soutpansberg Squash Club Oranje str 1
