Beeldmateriaal op die depot se sekuriteitskameras wys hoe een van die gewapende rowers met die 43-jarige mnr. Andrew Goosen stap, kort voordat hy drie keer geskiet is. Wonderbaarlik het Goosen die skote oorleef en is sy toestand Dinsdag beskryf as buite gevaar.

Tonge klap oor diesel-roof Deur Andries van Zyl Die polisie in Limpopo het ‘n spesiale taakspan aangestel om die waaghalsige gewapende roof by ‘n bekende dieseldepot in Louis Trichardt, Alliance Fuel, die afgelope naweek te ondersoek. ‘n Vragmotorbestuurder is tydens die voorval byna noodlottig gewond, met die rowers wat met sowat R5,5 miljoen se diesel weggekom het.

Die tonge het die afgelope week behoorlik geklap oor die voorval. Volgens die polisie het

‘n ongemerkte dieseltenkwa, ‘n Mercedes-Benz Actros, Saterdag omstreeks 19:00 by die depot opgedaag onder die voorwendsel dat die bestuurder daarvan wou diesel ingooi.

Die depotbestuurder het die hek met sy afstandbeheer oopgemaak, waarna ‘n groep mans skielik uit die vragmotor gespring het. Hulle was gewapen met ‘n pistool en aanvalsgeweer.

Die depotbestuurder is oorrompel, van sy selfoon beroof asook R6 000 in kontant. Die rowers het daarna saam met hom die perseel deurgegaan op soek na ander personeellede,

waarna hy in ‘n kamer toegesluit is. Vier ander personeellede is in aparte kamers toegesluit.

Almal van hulle is met kabelstroppe vasgebind.

Die rowers het die afstandbeheer gebruik om die hek na die depot oop te maak. Die personeellede kon hoor hoe vragmotors in en uit die perseel ry. Hulle het ook drie skote gehoor.

Later sou aan die lig kom dat een van die depot se vragmotorbestuurders, mnr. Andrew Goosen (43), drie keer deur die rowers geskiet is.

Volgens die polisie het die roof tot ongeveer 04:00 Sondag voortgeduur. Die personeellede

kon daarna daarin slaag om hulself te bevry, en kort daarna het hulle die swaar gewonde Goosen in sy vragmotor gevind. Hulp is dadelik ontbied.

Beeldmateriaal van die roof is op die depot se sekuriteitskameras vasgevang. Dit wys hoe verskeie ongemerkte tenkwaens die depot binnekom en hulle tenke vol diesel tap.

Die depotbestuurder kon kort voor hy toegesluit is daarin slaag om ‘n gedeeltelike registrasienommer van die Mercedes-Benz Actros te kry.

Construction work causes chaos at Eltivillas/N1 crossing

By Bernard Chiguvare

Motorists says they are finding it hard to navigate the N1/Main Street intersection due to a lack of road signs on the Comercial Street side

Vhembe struggles to keep head above water as taps continue to run dry

By Andries van Zyl Louis Trichardt’s water woes continued this week as taps remained dry, while the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) struggled to fix recurring problems.

On Wednesday morning, the VDM released yet another statement indicating that they needed to shut down the Albasini water plant because of yet another pipe burst in the area north of Stubbs Street along the N1. Apparently, this is now the fourth pipe burst there to be fixed over the last two weeks. Social media first lit up with pictures and videos of the massive mainline waterpipe burst opposite Thompson’s Motors and the N1 in Louis Trichardt on 28 April. The pipe burst occurred during excavations for the establishment of service infrastructure for a new residential area north of Stubbs Street in Exten-

sion 9, a development marred by controversy and secrecy. Some now also question the competence of the contractor doing the excavations.

The 28 April pipe burst was repaired, only for the pipe to burst again. After that, another pipe was damaged and another one this week.

“We apologise for the inconvenience caused,” reads the VDM’s statement. This is surely no consolation for town residents who have had little to no water for weeks now. The latest pipe burst in Extension 9 was apparently preceded by four leaks on the Albasini pipeline that affected the volume of water being pumped to the Mowkop reservoir over the weekend.

The VDM is clearly struggling to cope. Severe water supply problems in the border town of Musina spilled over into public violence on Tuesday evening, with residents barricading the N1 by burning tyres. The police had to be called in to calm the situation as people are growing more and more irate with the VDM for failing to deliver on their mandate to secure a sustainable water supply.

Also on Wednesday, the VDM issued a statement that the Tshedza water plant was not operational because of damage to a flow switch. The Makungwi booster station was not operational either as a result of damaged pumps.

Regarding the violent protests in Musina, VDM spokesperson Mr Matodzi Ralushai issued a statement on Wednesday afternoon, explaining that the shortage of water was the result of three leakages on the main pipeline that supplies Musina town from boreholes coming from the Limpopo River.

“Vhembe District technicians are currently at Musina busy fixing the leakages and water tankers will also be supplying water in the afternoon at the affected areas. Fixing of leakages is expected to be completed in the afternoon today [Wednesday] hence pumping will immediately start to fill up main reservoirs. Supplying of water to residents is also expected to start early tomorrow morning. We apologise for inconvenience caused,” Ralushai said in the statement.

As for Louis Trichardt, no indication was given as to when the water supply would be restored.

Several months have gone by since the ongoing reconstruction work at Main Street and the N1/ Eltivillas crossing had started, and the end still does not seem to be in sight. The Eltivillas business community also predicts that serious accidents are about to occur at the N1/Main Street junction because of unclear road markings.

During a meeting that was held last month, Cllr Gumani Mukwevho, the portfolio head for technical services at the Makhado Municipality, promised Eltivillas residents and businesspeople that the project would be completed by 30 June 2022.

Although construction is continuing, motorists now complain that no clear road signs or direc-

tions have been erected at the N1 junction to guide motorists. The past week, the scene at the intersection reminded one of a vintage comic movie dating from the early 20th century, where motorists drive straight at each other, and no-one seems to fear anything or have any regard for fellow motorists.

“It is only a matter of time before we witness a fatal accident here,” said one of the local business owners.

The Zoutpansberger sent an enquiry to the municipality to ask why no clear directions can be found at the commercial road and when the construction of the inroads will be completed but, at the time of our going to press, municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi said he was still attempting to get a response from the relevant authorities.

Musina burns over water shortages

By Bernard Chiguvare The border town of Musina was ablaze on Tuesday evening as residents burnt tyres and barricaded streets, including the N1 national road, protesting against chronic water shortages.

Speaking to the Zoutpansberger over the phone, community leader Binky Sefake said Musina residents living in townships had had no water for the past two days. No water was provided by way of tankers either. “We do not understand how the municipality expects us to live without water. Water is life. Without water, even for an hour, life stops. The most disturbing thing is there is water in town, but nothing at all in [the] townships,” said Sefake.

According to Sefake, protestors were burning tyres and singing at several striking points.

This included the N1 and along the R572 road to Venetia mine. “We will only stop protesting when we have water in our townships,” said Sefake.

Another Musina resident, Sewani Kaunda, told the Zoutpansberger that the water crisis in Musina was man-made.

“Musina is going to be on fire because of a man-made water crisis by the Vhembe District Municipality. Remember, they’re just closing our water provision willy-nilly while we are paying for water. Remember, Vhembe is not paying ESKOM [for] electricity for pumping water at the pump station along the Limpopo River; no wonder Musina Municipality is owing ESKOM hundreds of millions [of ] rands,” said Kaunda.

Messages of irate township residents circulated on social media, stating that the Vhembe

District Municipality was not treating Musina residents fairly. One message read: “I see Musina residents revolting about inconsistent water supply. Please those who are responsible just be aware and notify water authority to take this seriously.”

This is not the first time Musina residents have protested about a lack of water. This newspaper group and Groundup have done several articles about the inconsistent water supply in Musina and surrounding townships.

In 2020, this newspaper group reported about Bergview and Matswale residents’ complaints about the lack of water. In 2021, Groundup, under the heading “Musina residents say they have had enough of water outages”, reported that residents had temporarily closed Musina Municipality while protesting about water.

In previous reportage, the Vhembe District Municipality promised that water would be distributed by water trucks in affected communities. Communities claim, however, that water was last delivered by truck last month. Vhembe also continuously blames the inconsistent water supply on the vandalism of infrastructure and that some boreholes along the Limpopo River were washed away during floods.

Musina residents tried to block the N1 again on Wednesday morning as travel warnings were circulated on rural-safety WhatsApp groups. The N1 remained open, but reports were received that motorists had to avoid the R572 Venetia road. Police had been deployed in the area since Tuesday night.

At the time of our going to press, a message circulated that Musina Mayor Godfrey Mawela was expected to address residents later on Wednesday afternoon.

Kommer oor toekoms van Schoemansdal “veldskool” Deur Pétria de Vaal

Die twee raakvatters aan stuur van sake by die Schoemansdal Omgewingsopvoedingsentrum (Schoemansdal OOS), David Pretorius en Carel Kilian, tree albei binne die volgende jaar af. “Wat gaan dan van hierdie spog-opvoedingsentrum word?” is die vraag wat inwoners van die omgewing reeds begin vra. Albei is fasiliteerders en David tree ook op as toesighouer.

Menige skolier het al kennis gemaak met hierdie opvoedingsentrum wat spog met ‘n ryk geskiedenis en voortreflike resultate. Skoolgroepe kan kies en keur van ‘n “spyskaart” wat onder meer die volgende insluit: omgewingsopvoeding, leier-identifisering en –ontwikkeling, avontuurbelewing, sosiale kohesie, spanbou en motivering. “Hierdie is ons direkte opdrag van die Hoof van die Limpopo Departement van Onderwys – onder wie ons in totaliteit funksioneer,” sê David.

David vervolg dat skole ‘n spesifieke behoefte het en hulle dan kom besoek vir ‘n tydperk van slegs ‘n dag tot en met vier nagte. “Waar ons hooffokus vanaf 1993 veral op omgewingsopvoeding was, het dit geleidelik oor die jare as gevolg van skole se veranderde behoeftes verander. Ons fokus nou hoofsaaklik op avontuur, leierontwikkeling en spanbou,” noem David.

Behalwe vir die verwysing in Voortrekkerleier Louis Trichardt se dagboek na die eerste skooltjie (1838) in die omgewing van die hedendaagse vliegveld, weet ons dat die Voortrekkerdorp, Schoemansdal, ook ‘n skool gehad het. Sedert die ontstaan van die dorp Louis Trichardt in 1898, het ‘n aantal skole hulle deure oopgemaak.

Die eerste skooltjie op die huidige Schoemansdal OOS se terrein is in 1912 begin en het bekend gestaan as “Happy Rest Plaasskool”. Dit het tot 1952 bestaan, waarna ‘n spesiale skool in 1954 daar begin is. Agt jaar later is hierdie spesiale skool na Nylstsroom verskuif en het dit van toe af bekend gestaan as die Susan Strijdom Spesiale Skool.

In 1962 is ‘n “Kinderwetskool” deur die Nasionale Departement van Onderwys op die

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, was beskul­ digings van rassisme aan die orde van die dag. In die hoofberig op die voorblad van 9 Mei 1997 is aandag gegee aan die ANC in Limpopo se beskuldigings dat die ses wit lede van die Inwonersvereniging, as deel van die Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad, rassiste was.

Dit het gevolg nadat die Inwonersvereni­ ging kort vantevore daarop aangedring het dat die dorp se ANC burgemeester, rdl. Patrick Sikhutshi, moes bedank. Die ses raadslede van die Inwonersvereniging het ook uit ‘n raadsvergadering gestap, nadat die ANC besluit het om nie die klagte teen die burgemeester in die openbaar te bespreek nie, maar agter geslote deure. Die ANC het die lede van die Inwonersvereniging daarvan beskuldig dat hulle deel was van ‘n “ver­regse” regse” bedeling wat steeds die ideologie van “wit meerderwaardig­­ heid” nagestreef het. In antwoord het die Inwonersvereniging gesê dit was tipies van die ANC om eerder die rassekaart te speel as om die saak op die tafel te bespreek.

Die polisie in Louis Trichardt het daardie week ook na drie wit mans gesoek wat laataand by ‘n kamer by die Hanglip Kafee ingestorm het en vier swart mans ernstig aangerand het terwyl hulle geslaap het. Die mans moes in die hospitaal opge­ neem word. Ooggetuies het vertel hoe die drie aanvallers in ‘n wit Colt­bakkie weggejaag het.

In ander voorbladnuus daardie week is berig van die agt mans wat gearresteer is vir die gewaagde transitorooftog naby Matoks twee weke vantevore. Die agt het in die hof verskyn om ‘n borgaansoek te bring. Hul regsverteenwoordiger het aangevoer die polisie speel vir tyd en dat sy kliënte toe al reeds 12 dae agter tralies was. Die Staat het aangevoer dat die verdagtes se identiteite nog nie almal bevestig kon word nie en dat van die beskuldigdes dalk onder vals name verskyn het. Hulle borgaansoek is toe weer uitgestel.

terrein begin, wat ná 12 jaar na Natal verskuif is. Gedurende 1972-1973 is die pad tussen Louis Trichardt en Vivo gebou. Dit het ook geleentheid gebied om ‘n behoorlike ingang na die skool aan te bring. In November 1974 is ‘n “Kliniekskool” tot stand gebring, maar is in Desember 1975 na Potgietersrus verskuif.

Die idee om veldskole te begin het reeds in 1974 posgevat. Die eerste veldskole was te Gravelotte en later te Westfalia. As gevolg van al die reën is dit gedurende 1976 na Schoemansdal verskuif. In 1993 is die naam “Veldskool” na “Omgewingsopvoedingsentrum” verander.

Carel vertel dat 1996 ‘n belangrike jaar was aangesien die voorheen-verpligte agt dae verander is na ‘n keuse van tussen een en vyf dae se bywoning. “In die tydperk 1997 tot 2001 was bywoning nie meer verpligtend vir skole nie,” voeg Carel by. Hy noem ook dat ‘n voortdurende stryd

gewoed het om die sentrum onder die korrekte strukture te laat inpas.

“Personeel word deur die Departement [Onderwys] aangestel. Daar was in 1994 agt opvoeders. Sedert 1994 is daar geen nuwe aanstelling gemaak nie. Soos personeel die diens verlaat het, is die poste nie weer gevul nie – finansiële redes is telkens aangevoer. Tans is dit net ek en Carel wat die skip stuur. Ek tree in Desember 2022 af en Carel in Mei 2023,” sê ‘n bekommerde David. “Wat die toekoms van Schoemansdal OOS betref, is ons net so in die duister soos enigiemand anders,” voeg hy by.

Schoemansdal OOS se slagspreuk is: Ervaringsleer is lewenslange leer / Experience learning is lifelong learning. Sal hierdie uitsonderlike ervaring in die toekoms steeds vir skoliere beskikbaar wees?

Die idee om veldskole te begin het reeds in 1974 posgevat. Die eerste veldskole was te Gravelotte en later te Westfalia. As gevolg van al die reën is dit gedurende 1976 na Schoemansdal verskuif.

Terwyl losies met die minimum gestyg het, het minimumlone, hulle munisipale dienste, voedselware, wasmiddels, ensovoort eksponensieel die hoogte ingeskiet. Dan moet instandhoudingskoste, iets wat mens op ‘n ou gebou nie agterweë kan laat nie, nog bygereken word.

International Family Day puts focus on parenting Social Services On 15 May, the world will celebrate International Family Day, focusing on parenting through the family life stages.

“When we think of the word ‘family’ our mind tends to leap to the idealised version of a husband, wife and the average two and a half children. However, the concept of families has changed drastically over the past several years,

and with that comes new challenges,” said Ms Friede Meissenheimer, senior social worker at the SAVF in Louis Trichardt.

Friede explained that the family life cycle begins with marriage and ends with the death of both partners. “That being said, family never really ends, as each family continues with new generations and new marriages,” said Friede.

The family life cycle, as described by the family life specialist Roberta C Frasier, is set out as family founding; childbearing; child rearing; child launching and empty nest. “Each of these phases is distinct and comes with its own challenges,” said Friede. She explained what challenges to expect in each phase and how SAVF social workers are able to assist families with these challenges.

SAVF social workers render services aimed at preserving and strengthening families to produce well-adjusted adults that can continue a healthy family-life cycle.

Family founding refers to the establishment of a mutual home and learning homemaking skills.

This does not necessarily refer to marriage as many couples choose not to get married, but still fulfil the functions of a family. Part of the tasks at this level is learning to become emotionally independent from one’s parents, and becoming emotionally dependent on the life partner. “This also includes learning effective communication and conflict resolution. This is therefore often the phase in which new families struggle the most. SAVF social workers can assist with relationship counselling to support and strengthen new families,” said Friede.

During childbearing, partners learn about pregnancy, childbirth, and children. Parents need to develop a child-rearing philosophy that they both agree on. They must accept the responsibility of parenthood and understand the role of grandparents. “One of the issues families can experience in this phase is, sadly, infertility, which includes struggling to become pregnant as well as pregnancy loss. In this regard, social workers can assist with counselling to deal with the emotions regarding these sensitive issues.

Social workers can also assist with adoptions, where relevant. Through parental guidance, social workers can assist partners with developing a child-rearing philosophy they can both agree on,” said Friede.

During the child-rearing phase, partners continue to learn about children and become alert to the needs of children at different life stages.

Some of the struggles in this phase might include the inability to comprehend the needs of children at their different life stages. “Families might also struggle with adequate financial planning and the identification of housing needs.

Here, social workers can assist with support services such as financial planning, and/or parental guidance to comprehend the needs of children.

During this phase, relationship challenges can also be an issue; balancing work and raising of children can lead to couples’ not connecting with each other. Here, social workers will be able to assist with relationship and family counselling to strengthen the functioning of families,” said Friede. As for child launching, this phase consists

“The concept of families has changed drastically over the past several years, and with that comes new challenges”

of teaching children about love and marriage, teaching them about new opportunities for career choices and giving emotional support as children leave the home to work or study. In short, this phase is about releasing young adults into the world to live their own lives. “One of the challenges experienced in this area can be that both parents and children are too dependent on each other and not ready to let go. Social workers can assist with counselling the parents and children to ensure they are prepared for the next move,” said Friede.

Last is the empty-nest phase. Partners need to adjust to life as an independent couple once again - being on their own after years of being parents. They need to prepare for and adjust to retirement, and possibly prepare for living alone.

In addition, they need to learn new methods of child rearing to improve skills as grandparents.

“In this phase, partners often struggle to adjust to living with each other as they have become so accustomed to parenting that their relationship could have taken a backseat. Social workers can assist with supportive services such as counselling to support couples and individuals to adjust to the sense of loss that often goes with this phase - the loss of employment through retirement, the loss of the children when they leave the house to continue with their own lives, and the loss of life partners,” said Friede.

In addition to the services mentioned above, SAVF social workers can also assist with other issues affecting families, such as substance abuse, uncontrollable children or material needs.

Should you experience any challenges related to your family or individually, please do not hesitate to contact your closest SAVF office for support.

The Louis Trichardt office can be contacted at Tel 015 516 3841 or 071 628 7949.

Collins Chabane’s former CFO also in dock about VBS looting

By Anton van Zyl The arrest of the former chief financial officer (CFO) of the Collins Chabane Municipality last week must have sent shivers down the spines of many of those involved in the looting of the VBS Mutual Bank.

The 56-year-old Eadie Makamu appeared in the Specialised Crimes Court in Palm Ridge, Gauteng, on Friday (6th). He was released on R2 000 bail, and the case was postponed to Monday, 9 May. On Monday, he was scheduled to appear alongside the former municipal manager of Collins Chabane Municipality, Charlotte Ngobeni.

Ngobeni was arrested in March last year on charges of corruption and contravention of the Municipal Financial Management Act (MFMA). She originally appeared alongside seven co-accused in the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in connection with the looting of VBS Mutual Bank. Her co-accused included ANC Limpopo leader Danny Msiza, ANC-linked “businessman” Kabelo Matsepe and the former COO of the mutual bank, Robert Madzonga.

Ngobeni signed off on a R120 million invest-

ment with VBS on 21 October 2017. The State alleges that, in return, Ngobeni had received kickbacks from people accused of being part of a racketeering enterprise, whose aim had been to swindle VBS Mutual Bank.

A forensic report commissioned by the province’s treasury department and released in March 2019 showed up numerous irregularities in the way the officials, as well as the political office bearers, had handled the VBS investment.

Regulations were flouted and people who were appointed to perform an oversight role conveniently looked the other way.

The mayor at the time, Joyce Bila, denied that she had given consent for the R120 million investment. She said that the responsibility had been delegated to the MM and the chief financial officer (CFO) and she had trusted them to do their jobs. Bila was sacked as mayor in December 2018. She is currently an ordinary councillor at Collins Chabane Municipality.

The CFO at the time when the investment was made, was Eadie Makamu. He admitted that no background checks were done after the proposal that the money be invested at VBS was made.

He also did not ensure that the necessary credit

checks were done. He seemingly also did not know that investing in a mutual bank was illegal.

An interesting fact that came out in the reports is that the MM had signed off on the investment while she was in hospital. Makamu could not explain how this was done.

Ngobeni stated that the proposal to invest with VBS had been made by the municipality’s former CFO, Mr M Maite, along with Makamu.

At that stage, Maite had been seconded to the municipality to assist the new CFO. On 18 September 2017, Makamu forwarded a recommendation to Ngobeni in which approval was sought for two short-term investments, one being at VBS. She approved the proposal a day later.

Another interesting aspect that came out of the reports is that VBS had already thanked the municipality for the investment on 15 September 2017, four days before the recommendation was approved.

The municipality had invested R120 million with VBS at an interest rate of 8,1%. When the term matured on 23 January 2018, the municipality tried to get the funds back, but to no avail. At that stage, the bank was already cashstrapped, and all that Ngobeni and the other officials received were empty promises.

Makamu left Collins Chabane Municipality, but whether he had resigned or been forced to leave could not be established. He was provisionally suspended in October 2018, along with Charlotte Ngobeni. Ngobeni later received a

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

“Stel julleself tot beskikking van God.” Romeine 6:13.

D

ie ongeredde mens het net een natuur - die ou mens. Die Gees stry met hom, maar nie in Hom nie, want net Hy wat in Christus is, besit die Heilige Gees.

Nou volg daar egter ‘n groot verandering.

Hy het berou en kom tot bekering en glo in die Here Jesus Christus. Wat gebeur? Hy word van Bo hergebore deur die Gees en ontvang ‘n nuwe natuur. Hy het nou wat ‘n ongeredde nie besit nie - ‘n nuwe natuur.

Maar toe die nuwe lewe, die Heilige Gees, ingekom het, het die ou natuur verdwyn?

Wat word van die ou mens?

Helaas, hy het nie verdwyn nie. Van nou af is daar twee nature in sy binneste, die oue en die nuwe, die vlees en die Gees. Die twee staan naas mekaar en elkeen probeer om die baasskap te kry. Paulus sê: “Want die vlees begeer teen die Gees, en die Gees teen die vlees; en hulle staan teenoor mekaar, sodat julle nie kan doen wat julle wil nie” (Galasiërs 5:17).

Hoe kan ‘n mens die volheid van die Gees en die oorvloedige lewe smaak, en verlos word van die mag van die vlees en die selflewe?

Die antwoord kom duidelik voor. Hoe kan ‘n mens vervul word tensy hy hom volkome tot beskikking stel van die lewe van die Gees? Toe hy sy lede diensbaar gestel het aan die onreinheid en wetteloosheid, is hy nie vervul met allerlei ongeregtigheid nie?

(Romeine1:29; 6:19).

Net so, as jy jou diensbaar stel aan die Gees, sal jy met Hom gevul word. Daarom geliefdes, stel julleself tot beskikking van God. - Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

44 children are enrolled at the school and the classes vary from Grade R to Grade RRR. The medium of teaching is English, which is also quite unique in the area.

The baobab trees will form part of the school for quite some time. The trees will continue to grow in their planting bags for the next year or two. Once they become too big for the bags, the baobab trees can then be planted, either at the school or at the homes of the children.

Because baobab trees can become hundreds of years old, these little plants will in all probability outlive the school and its little ones.

The Mulisawashu Early Learning Centre at Ha-Mashamba village has something that very few other small schools have – an own baobab nursery.

The beautiful little pre-school, not far from Elim, is one of the participants in the Baobab Champion project of the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror newspapers. The aim of the project is to raise awareness about baobab trees and to teach children more about this unique plant.

The project was made possible, thanks to a donation by the family of the late Frans van der Merwe and in conjunction with Dr Sarah Venter’s Baobab Foundation. Four schools from Louis Trichardt are taking part, but additional “starter packs” were also provided to smaller learning centres such as Kumon Makhado and Mulisawashu Early Learning Centre.

The Baobab Champion starter kits that were distributed each contained five planting bags; a sachet containing 15 baobab seeds (three seeds per planting bag as not all seeds germinate) and a booklet with information about baobabs and the projects of the Baobab Foundation.

The weather at Ha-Mashamba village seems to be perfect for the little baobab trees and a couple of dozen of the seeds have germinated, much to the excitement of the children. When the school was visited last Thursday, the “baobab garden” stood proudly on the side of the colourful classrooms.

The pre-school is the brainchild of W/O Forster Rambau and his wife, Mercy. They realised the need for a pre-school facility in the Ha-Mashamba area. “The name of the school is a combination of our two children, Mulisa and Washu, which literally translated means ‘God is for us’,” explained Forster Rambau.

The school’s slogan, “Our passion – their future”, reflects the couple’s commitment to making a change in their society. Currently,
