Alhoewel die brand redelik vinnig onder beheer gebring kon word, was daar baie skade. Te midde van swartgebrande mure en gebreekte vensters het tannie Elsa gesê sy is baie hartseer oor die skade wat die brand veroorsaak het.

Verbruikers betaal duur prys vir Eskom se beurtkrag Die eerste stop was by Action Ford. Ongelukkig, volgens Maggie van der Linde (verkoopsEskom het onlangs weer beurtkrag in werking bestuurder) en Marius Prinsloo (voorraadkongestel en vir die eerste keer in die geskiedenis trole), het Action Ford nie ‘n kragopwekker wat is Fase 6 beurtkrag Maandag aangekondig. krag voorsien wanneer beurtkrag toegepas word Dit het as baie slegte nuus gekom veral vir nie. Marius het gesê dat die vorige Ford gebou vuisvoos Suid-Afrikaanse besigheidseienaars ‘n groot kragopwekker gehad het wat hulle jare wat reeds sukkel om kop bo water te hou in ‘n gelede omtrent R120 000 gekos het. Hulle voel sukkelende ekonomie. beslis die negatiewe impak van beurtkrag. “Ons Die Zoutpansberger het Dinsdag by ‘n paar kan nie eers ‘n kar kontant verkoop nie, omdat al besighede in Louis Trichardt gaan inloer om ons stelsels elektrisiteit nodig het om transaksies te hoor hoe beurtkrag die afgelope week hul te prosesseer,” het Maggie gesê. sakebedrywighede beïnvloed het.

Buiten ‘n verlies aan inkomste, benadeel Deur Veruscka van der Linde & Elardus van Zyl

beurtkrag besighede ook op ander maniere.

Soos hulle sê, “It takes money to make money”, en so kos dit besighede ongelooflik baie om na alternatiewe bronne van krag te kyk in tye van beurtkrag.

Die eienaar van Archer Paint Centre, mnr.

Mark Archer, het gesê hy gebruik tans tussen 10 en 15 liter petrol ‘n dag om sy kragopwekker aan die gang te hou. Dit werk uit op tussen R200 en R300 per dag. Mark het gesê sy grootste frustrasie met beurtkrag is dat kliënte aanneem sy toerusting, soos sy kaartmasjiene en masjiene wat die verf meng, werk nie omdat daar beurtkrag is. “Mens betaal vir krag, so jy moet krag kry,” het Mark gesê. (Terloops, Archer Paint Centre verkoop twee modelle kragopwekkers, ‘n 5.5Kva wat R8 700 kos en ideaal is vir basiese tuisverbruik, uitgesluit jou stoof en geiser. Dan is daar ook ‘n 6.5Kva teen R10 000.

Hierdie een is beter geskik vir groter besighede en jy kan selfs krag verskaf aan jou geiser en stoof ).

Nog ‘n plaaslike besigheid wat nie kan bekostig om hul deure te sluit weens beurtkrag nie, is Soutpansberg Spar.

Mnr. Chris de Beer (algemene bestuurder) het die Zoutpansberger ‘n agter-die-skermskykie gegee na wat hulle alles moes doen om die deure oop te hou.

Volgens Chris wil hulle steeds die beste diens aan hulle kliënte lewer, ten spyte van beurtkrag. Dit kom egter teen ‘n prys. Hulle reuse kragopwekker gebruik tans tussen 40 en 60 liter diesel per uur om al hul koelkamers en toerusting konstant aan die gang te hou in gevalle van beurtkrag. Teen R14,58 (AA tarief soos op 4 Desember 2019) per liter kan lesers maar

“Ons moet ongereelde ure werk wanneer die krag weer aankom, soos byvoorbeeld vroegoggend vanaf vyfuur tot seweuur en laataand na half sewe”

die sommetjie maak hoeveel dit hulle per uur kos.

Chris het gesê dat alhoewel meeste van hulle rekenaars UPS’e het wat hulle help wanneer beurtkrag toegepas word, kroniese kragonderbrekings hulle ander masjiene soos yskaste beskadig. ‘n Paar maande gelede moes hulle hul industriële ysmasjien teen duurste laat regmaak weens kragonderbrekings.

Die Zoutpansberger se volgende stop was by Mount Fuji vulstasie. Volgens eienaar mnr. John le Cornu het hulle twee 65kW drie-fase kragopwekkers, een vir die vulstasie en een vir die Nissan-agentskap, aangeskaf om die probleem van kragonderbrekings die hoof te bied. Hierdie kragopwekkers kos die besigheid tans tussen R400 en R500 elk ekstra per dag aan dieselkoste weens beurtkrag. John het ook die probleem uitgelig van skade wat aan elektriese toerusting aangerig word weens die kroniese beurtkrag.

Alhoewel groter besighede kragopwekkers kan bekostig, kan baie kleiner besighede net nie die ekstra uitgawe absorbeer nie. Een van hulle is U-Print. Volgens bestuurder Carin Nel het hulle ‘n klein kragopwekker aangeskaf, maar dié is net nie sterk genoeg om elektrisiteit aan al hul toerusting te voorsien nie. Volgens hulle is dit dus nie eers die moeite werd om die kragopwekker aan te skakel tydens beurtkrag nie. Dit het ‘n geweldige negatiewe impak op hul besigheid.

“Ons moet ongereelde ure werk wanneer die krag weer aankom, soos byvoorbeeld vroegoggend vanaf vyfuur tot seweuur en laataand na half sewe,” het Carin gesê.

Seker een van die belangrikste plaaslike instansies wat nie kan bekostig om sonder elektrisiteit te wees nie, is die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal. Mnr. Mark van Zyl, wat betrokke is by die instandhouding van die hospitaal, het gesê dat die kroniese kragonderbrekings ‘n baie negatiewe impak het op watervoorsiening, asook die instandhouding van die koelkamers waar hul medikasie gestoor word. Om die probleem die oorkom, het die hospitaal twee groot kragopwekkers (waarvan een net op bystand is). Gelukkig, het Mark gesê, word die hospitaal sowat ‘n halfuur tot driekwartier voor die tyd ingelig dat ‘n kragonderbreking (of beurtkrag) gaan plaasvind, sodat hulle kan seker maak alles is in plek.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

In die hoofberig op die voorblad van die Zoutpansberger van 9 Desember 1994 word berig dat die stof rondom die beweerde onkruiddoderskade op die wal van die Limpoporivier nog steeds nie gaan lê het nie en dat ‘n bedrag van R150000 bewillig is om ‘n ondersoekspan na die area te stuur vir die nodige studie. Dié delikate kwessie spruit uit ‘n voorval waar die Suid-Afrikaanse Weermag deur middel van kontrakteurs die sisalheining oos van Musina oor ‘n 10-jaar periode met onkruiddoders behandel het. Die heining is vir sekuriteitsredes onkruidvry gehou.

Boere in die omgewing het egter gemeen dat die gifstowwe in die Limpoporivier beland het en hulle gewasse en plante op die rivieroewer aangetas het.

In ‘n ander brokkie “omgewingsnuus” is daar weer berig van die geheime ondier wat steeds boere langs die Vivo-pad lastig val. ‘n Dier het die voorafgaande paar weke verskeie kalwers se dood veroorsaak, nadat hulle onder meer aan die rug gebyt is. ‘n Vanghok met lewendige aas in die vorm van ‘n boerbok is vir die dier gestel, maar die gedierte het hom skaars gehou. Die polisiediens, asook plaaslike jagters, het die dier probeer voorlê maar sonder sukses.

Moeilik om te glo, maar nuus oor ‘n beplande straatmakietie het dit ook tot op die voorblad gemaak. Die eienaars van die destydse Great North Kafee het gehelp om die makietie te reël. Op die spyskaart was onder meer stalletjies, ‘n karate-vertoning en ‘n

“gumboot” dans. Die makietie sou in die destydse Trichardtstraat (nou Songozwistraat) tussen Krogh- en Burgerstraat op die 10de van daardie maand gehou word.

Wat die res van die koerant 25 jaar gelede betref, het meeste mense begin gereedmaak vir die Kerstydperk met groet- en seënwense deur talle instansies, insluitend die munisipale raad. Van die raad gepraat, hierdie week ‘n kwarteeu gelede het wyle oud-burgemeester Johan Moolman vir wyle adv.

Thomas Langley ingehuldig as ereburger van Louis Trichardt.

More and more arrogant residents are starting to dump their household trash in the beautiful parkland between Forestry road and the Meulbos road in Louis Trichardt. This area leading into the Hanglip plantation is well known for its bird- and wildlife. “Maybe we should ask the public to help us catch the culprits, take their photo and publish it for everyone to see,” remarked one resident. The rubbish in the pictured was dumped over the weekend. Photo supplied.

Tannie Elsa verloor byna alles in vuur (Vervolg vanaf p.1) “Tog is ek gerus in my hart dat alles weer sal regkom,” het tannie Elsa gesê. Na sowat ‘n minuut se stilte, terwyl sy na die skade kyk, voeg sy by: “Dit is daardie klein goedjies wat nou weg is wat ‘n mens nie kan vervang nie.” Sy het beduie na haar foto’s en herinneringe uit die verlede.

Afgesien daarvan dat meeste van haar huisinhoud deur die vlamme verswelg is, is tannie Elsa meer ontsteld oor haar kat. Dié was in die woonstel tydens die brand en moes na die Blouberg Dierekliniek geneem word vir behandeling.

Die vuur kon nie op ‘n slegter tyd gekom het nie. Met Kersfees om die draai sou tannie Elsa Woensdag op ‘n kort vakansie gegaan het. Haar planne is egter deur die vuur in die wiele gery, met haar tas en vakansieklere wat ook in die slag gebly het. Oor die oorsaak van die brand is daar baie bespiegelinge. Volgens tannie Elsa wil dit lyk asof daar ‘n kortsluiting by haar televisie plaasgevind het toe die krag weer aangekom het.

Oom Louis Swan, wat in beheer is van veiligheid

by Laat Lente en Herfsakker, het die Zoutpansberger eenkant toe geneem na ‘n kragboks en gewys hoe gebrand die drade binnekant is. Hy het gesê dat die huisies aan die munisipaliteit behoort en dat dit baie moeilik is vir hulle om toestemming te kry om self instandhouding te doen. Dit het ‘n situasie tot gevolg gehad dat geen instandhouding van huisies eintlik meer

gedoen word nie. “Die huisies is oud … Ons sukkel ook al weke lank met ons straatligte wat nie werk nie,” het hy gesê.

Vanaf 8 tot 11 Desember het daar elke dag ten minste 20 mm oor die dorp uitgesak. Soos Fanie gesê het, dui alles op ‘n goeie reënvalseisoen. Volgens die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens se mees onlangse statistieke het Mara 115% van hulle gemiddelde reënval vir November gekry. Polokwane het 129% van hulle gemiddelde reën vir November ontvang, terwyl Pontdrif 110% gekry het. Waterpoort het 206% van hulle gemiddelde reënval vir November gekry.

It’s Christmas Time

Use this Gift Guide to buy the perfict gifts Make someone happy with a great Christmas gift for your loved ones

Be the light in their life

By Elardus van Zyl Christmas is approaching and you have a couple of family members about to arrive. Last year, you visited them and they surprised you with Christmas gifts, which means you have to return the favour this year. This, of course, leaves you with major headaches.

Let us hear what the experts say: Your brother-in-law may be the easiest. He is the outdoor type, which opens up many possibilities. Mr Mark Archer from Archer’s Paint suggests you get him some solar lights.

This is a perfect gift for someone who enjoys being in nature where there is little or no electricity.

Solar lights are not just ideal for camping, they are also perfect for load shedding.

The JW-309 Multi-function work light is a good option, be-

cause it does not weigh much and comes in at a very “light” price of only R162. This portable “light saviour” provides ample light for emergencies and, should there be no sun, it can be pre-charged via a cellphone-like charger.

Perhaps you should help address your brother-in-law’s “issues” with his two teenagers. You can buy him a solar smartphone charger or “power bank”. This means that, while camping, he can charge the power bank and let the children use it as a charger for their cellphones or handheld gam-

ing devices. This device costs only R263 at Archer’s Paint and is sure to make your brother-in-law way more popular with his offspring.

To buy something for your sister may be more problematic, but then again, she is your sister, so she will have to smile and pretend that she is thankful.

Nathalie Archer suggests that you invest in a starter kit of six

different Vinnis wool colours of your choice, which comes complete with a knitting needle for only R70. Knitting is a very therapeutic hobby and can keep anyone busy for hours. Perhaps you should get two sets and join your sister, knitting while you are waiting for the children to return from the swimming pool this December. Your “big expense” item is, of course, your father-inlaw who is also visiting. In this case you will have to impress him and fork out a bit of extra money.

Mark Archer suggests you get him the Micro tech box. This toolbox comes with a variety of tools inside, making it the ideal present for a handson Mr Fixit. However, this gift is a bit costly as it goes for R3 260. If that is a bit steep, go for the cheaper option of the Yato YT-14421, which is a 23-piece kit for only R700. No handyman can ever have too many tools, making this kit ideal and perfect to place in a car or take along on a journey.

Wye verskeidenheid van geskenke

by Katvoet Deur Veruscka van der Linde Die Katvoet-kunskafee in Louis Trichardt (33 Van Warmelostraat) bied ook ‘n wye verskeidenheid geskenkidees hierdie Kersfees.

Gaan kuier en drink ‘n koppie koffie by die kafee terwyl jy gou-gou ‘n paar geskenkies koop. Katvoet het ietsie vir kleinboet en sus tot oupa en ouma.

Op die “te koop” rak is ‘n verskeie Alba-produkte (wat weefselolie bevat) vir mamma, van lyfroom tot lyfolies en selfs lip-produkte met pryse wat wissel tussen R40 en R135. Dit sal ‘n ideale geskenk wees vir ‘n bekostigbare prys. ‘n Groot verskeidenheid van badprodukte, van lekker badsout en badheuning tot skuurroom wat ideaal sal wees ná die droë winter, is beskikbaar.

Pryse vir die produkte wissel van R50 tot R100.

As jy op soek is na iets vir jonger mense is daar verskeie legkaarte van verskillende groottes vir jonk en oud. Pryse van die legkaarte wissel vanaf R130 tot R190. Daar is self ietsie vir Pappa en Oupa beskikbaar by Katvoet, met ‘n verskeidenheid van braaipakkies. ‘n Ideale geskenk sal die braairakkies en houtbokse wees wat hulle het.

Vir die groter

Braaipakkies vir pappa en oupa van R190 tot R350.

Verskeie Alba produkte vanaf R40 tot R135. bokse is hulle pryse R350, en die groter en kleiner rakkies vanaf R190 tot R240. As daar nie iets is wat jou oog vang nie, sal die beste opsie wees om vir jou geliefdes ‘n geskenkbewys te reël van enige bedrag wat jou hart begeer.

It’s Christmas Time Make someone happy with a great Christmas gift

Use this Gift Guide to buy the perfict gifts for your loved ones

Explore the gaming world this Christmas

By Elardus van Zyl If your child enjoys spending time playing games on computer or on a Playstation or Xbox console, you have quite a few options for Christmas gifts.

It’s no use fighting the “gaming craze”; rather embrace it and guide your young ones to make good choices when playing games. There are many options, but you need to do some homework.

Every gamer has his or her own preference and this can vary from sport games such as Fifa and NBA to more violent war games such as Call of Duty or Ghost Recon. The big debate is also whether it is better to play on a computer, or use a dedicated console such as Xbox or Playstation.

Let’s start off with the popular (and recommended) console games. There are always new games being released for console gamers, whether it involved fighting off dragons in a fantasy world or building your own castle.

Here is a list of recommended games that are currently trending that your gamer child might enjoy (prices according to Takealot): • FORZA Motorsport 7 (R650), • Call of Duty Modern Warfare (R999), • Fifa 20 (R999), • Minecraft Playstation 4 Edition (R469) and • Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe edition (R949).

For computer gamers it is a bit harder to buy a gift, because not all computers have the required specs to run the game. This means that it’s risky to buy a child a game for Christmas as it might not even work on his or her computer. This can cause great disappointment for the enthusiastic gamer.

Most PC games can be sold as a digital copies and these should indicate what the required specs are for the game in order to play. Refunds can also be claimed if it doesn’t want to work.

Perhaps a better option is to rather invest in gaming equipment for these “PC Gamers”. The equipment used on computers can get damaged over a period of time, meaning that a replacement will always be welcome.

Mr Bupesh Patel from Surat Trading suggested the following gaming equipment for a PC gamer. The saying “look good feel good” can be changed to “look good and play good”.

The CORSAIR 3-in-1 gaming bundle provides a gaming keyboard, headset, mouse and a mousepad at an overall price of R1 499. You can also invest in a CORSAIR HS35 Stereo headset for R739.

The CORSAIR 3 in 1 gaming bundle provides a gaming keyboard, headset, mouse and a mousepad at an overall price of R1 499.

Treat someone special with a gift voucher from Ruby Nails Deur Veruscka van der Linde Ruby Nails in the Nictus Centre in Louis Trichardt’s Krogh Street offers a perfect option to treat that someone special in your life this Christmas.

It offers something for everyone and yes, even men can go into nail salons. Ruby Nails provides a big variety of luxury perfumes for him and her at affordable prices, with most of the big brands in stock. Why need that fancy bottle if you can smell like luxury for less?

They provide “Fabulous Aire” machines to purify the air in your home at a reasonable price of R535 to R555 per machine. They also offer a wide variety of different fragrances that alleviate hay fever (great for people who snore at night), all the way to clearing out pet odours (this will be a great option to those pet lovers out there).

All the different fragrances of 250ml sell for only R155.

For that special lady in your life, treat her to a nice manicure or pedicure, with some smooth heels and sparkly nails for the New Year ahead. Ruby Nails also provides the best gel nails in a wide variety of

to arrange for a banking institution to open a branch in the town. The National Bank of South Africa Ltd was approached but was not keen to do so at first. A year later it was announced that a branch of this bank would open, with Mr FWC Bell as manager.

The laws governing banks at the time seemed to have favoured the National Bank, as all other banks were required to pay an exorbitant licensing fee of £150 per branch per annum.

The National Bank has its roots in De Nationale Bank der Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek Beperk (National Bank of the South African Republic Limited), which was registered in Pretoria during early 1891 and opened for business on 5 April of the same year. Shortly after the Second Anglo-Boer War ended in 1902, the name was changed to the National Bank of South Africa Limited.

Even the Transvaal government’s backing did not help the bank and in April 1908 the branch in Louis Trichardt closed. The town had to wait more than four years for a local bank to open. On 30 August 1912, the Natal

Aangesien ons ook weet dat die ekonomie vir besighede nie rooskleurig is nie, sal daar deurlopend projekte wees wat die bestuur en inwoners self sal loods deur die loop van die jaar om by te dra vir die projek sover moontlik. Indien daar enige persoon, organisasie of onderneming hulle dienste of fondse wil beskikbaar stel is u welkom om Rina Vermeulen (083 297 6925) of Meisie van Wyngaardt (082 661 8303) te skakel sodat meer inligting gegee of reëlings getref kan word.

Op ‘n meer persoonlike noot wil ek graag vir Meisie van Wyngaardt en Rosetta Otto bedank wat my ondersteun met al die reëlings, boekhouding en vrywillige dienste as bestuur om ‘n verskil te maak in iemand anders se lewe. Sonder julle sou dit nie elke dag moontlik gewees het nie. Dankie aan elke inwoner se vertroue in ons span en julle samewerking met ons om van alles wat aangepak word ‘n sukses te maak.

Julle mag trots op julleself wees omdat julle nie skroom om hande vuil te maak om omstandighede te verbeter wat nie meer deur die instansie gedoen word wat vir julle verantwoordelik is nie. Julle ontvang ook geen finansiële staatshulp, Lotto-gelde of geld van ander buite instansies nie en verdien almal slegs SASSA pensioene. Louis Trichardt en omgewing se inwoners en ondernemings se ondersteuning is die enigste fondse wat ons in om ons projekte te kan befonds. Dit beteken ons kan nie alles oornag laat gebeur nie, maar ten minste gebeur dit stappie vir stappie.

Daarvoor is ons oneindig so dankbaar. ‘n Baie geseënde Kersfees aan elke inwoner van Louis Trichardt word u toegewens. Geniet die feesseisoen en veilig reis na u bestemming waar dit ook al heen mag lei.

“Bly in My, soos Ek in julle... Wie in My bly, en Ek in hom, hy dra veel vrug...” Johannes 15:4-5.

V

rug vereis eenheid van die loot met die Wynstok. Die loot wat met Hom verenig is, is vir sy lewe en groeikrag, sy vrugbaarheid, geheel en al van Hom afhanklik. Dit is logies dat die eerste vrug, die van bekering tot God en soos Jesus gesê het, die vrug wat by die bekering pas (Mattheus 3:8), eerste vir Hom moet wees. Die wedergeboorte, waardeur ons deelgenote van die Goddelike natuur word, skenk God ons uit louter genade (2 Petrus 1:4). As jou wedergeboorte eg is, volg daar onweerlegbare bewyse dat jy in jou vereniging met Christus, nie slegs ‘n nuwe blaadjie omgeslaan het nie, maar ‘n nuwe skepsel geword het (2 Korintiërs 5:17).

Wees maar net ‘n loot wat in Hom bly, dan gee Hy jou alles wat nodig is om vrug te dra.

Daar is ook ‘n snoeiproses. Die snoeiskêr is die Woord, want in v.3 sê Jesus: “Julle is alreeds rein deur die Woord wat ek tot julle gespreek het” (Johannes 15:3).

Elke loot wat in Hom vrug dra, maak Hy skoon. Die kenmerk van lote wat in harmonie met die wynstok verkeer, is diep afhanklikheid van die Here en onderworpe aan Hom. Die vrug wat die nodigste is, is die lieflikheid van nederigheid uit ‘n Geesbeheerde lewe.

“Fruit comes from the root; therefore abide. More fruit comes from the knife; therefore endure. Much fruit comes from death; therefore die!” - Fox. - ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptiste Kerk)
