Munisipaliteit se nuwe waardasierol vir 2014 tot 2018 laat inwoners kopkrap oor hul eiendom se waarde

R2 miljoen

“Ons raai eienaars aan om ‘n onafhanklike waardeerder te kry” Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

“Die nuwe waardasierol lyk vir ons na ‘n duimsuiery.” Dit is die mening van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging (SBBV) ná die bekendmaking van die 2014 tot 2018 munisipale waardasierol. SBBV voorsitter mev. Inga Gilfillan se eie eiendomwaardasie is met R1m ver hoog. “In ‘n ander buurt is ‘n inwoner se eiendomwaardasie verdubbel, terwyl sy buurman s’n presies dieselfde gebly het. Ons raai eienaars aan om ‘n onafhanklike waardeerder te kry en daardie waardasie saam met die beswaarvorm by die muni sipaliteit in te handig. Daarsonder bly die munisipaliteit by hul belaglike waardasies ter wille van die geld wat moet inkom na die munisipale koffers,” het Gilfillan gesê. Inwoners het tot 31 Maart om beswaar te maak teen die nuwe waardasie van hul eiendomme, waarvolgens hulle belasting vir die volgende vier jaar of meer gaan

betaal. Inwoners kan hul waardasies by die munisipaliteit uitvind of by die SBBV bestuurder, mnr. Phillip Olivier. Professionele waardeerder en prokureur dr. Suwil Rudolph het gesê dat die nuwe waardasierol veel te wense oorlaat en raai ook huiseienaars aan om hulself so gou moontlik te vergewis van die waardasies en beswaar te maak indien nodig. Rudolph het gesê dat die waardasierol nie reflekteer wat in die mark aangaan nie. “Jy gaan trek die verkope van vergelykbare huise deur ‘n soektog vir ‘n bepaalde woonbuurt in die dorp te doen. Die data is op die Internet teen ‘n fooi beskikbaar. Jy kyk na verkooppryse in die omgewing,” het Rudolph gesê. So byvoorbeeld kan ‘n huis nie vir R3.6m gewaardeer word in ‘n omgewing waar huise vir minder as R1m verkoop word nie. ‘n Huis in die onderdorp kan ook nie oor dieselfde kam geskeer word as ‘n huis in die bodorp nie. “By die waardasie van huise is ligging die eerste belangrike faktor ...

“By die waardasie van huise is ligging die eerste belangrike faktor. Jy kan nie ‘n huis in die onderdorp oor dieselfde kam skeer as ‘n huis in word gekyk na die eiendom self.

Die ouderdom van die huis speel ook ‘n rol. Wanneer jy pryse in die omgewing vergelyk, vergelyk jy soort met soort, soos ‘n woonstel met ‘n woonstel en ‘n huis met ‘n huis,” het Rudolph gesê. Hy het bygevoeg dat dit lyk of die waardasies van sekere woonbuurte, ingesluit die ou dorp, te hoog is. Landmeter Schalk Corbett van Geoland het ‘n bietjie vergelykend gekyk na die 2008 tot 2014 waardasierol en die nuwe een. Hy het sowat dertig erwe rondom Burgerstraat 69 geneem en sy bevindings op die SBBV blad geplaas. “Die waardes is gemiddeld met meer as 70% op. Hier en daar is daar eiendomme wat onverklaar baar minder werd is (as op die vorige rol) en een eiendom is 230% op. As ‘n mens ‘n Huis in die onderste gedeelte van die dorp wat vir meer as R1m die waardasies op die twee rolle vergelyk, gewaardeer is.

Hunter joins SANParks ofﬁcial in courtroom The SANParks (South Africa National Parks) employee accused of selling protected animals illegally appeared in court together with a hunter. The pair appeared last Friday (7th) in the Louis Trichardt District Court. This employee, Michael Sematla, appeared with Marius Marinus Slabbert from Benoni. Slabbert was officially charged with the illegal shooting of a leopard on Den Staat farm next to the Mapungubwe Nature Reserve. The charges against Slabbert follow investiga tions that were done after it was discovered that Sematla had allegedly “sold” him a permit to hunt the leopard on Den Staat. Den Staat is an opensystem park, state owned and falling under the control of Mapungubwe, which is also a world heritage site. Both parks

border on Zimbabwe and boast a great variety of small and big game. Sematla worked as a general worker for Mapungubwe but was arrested during January 2014 when the Environmental Crime Investigative Unit (Green Scorpions) discovered his possible involvement in the issuing of illegal permits that were sold to hunters. Since Sematla’s arrest, 11 hunters had already been fined, and a total of R37 000 in admis sionofguilt fines have been paid. Each hunter’s fine was determined by the animal that he had hunt ed. They will not stand further trial with Sematla and Slabbert but might be asked to become state witnesses. During his last court appearance, Semat la’s case was postponed to 3 and 4 June, when it is expected to start. Slabbert’s case was postponed until 16 April for trial.

Nuwe waardasierol ‘n “duimsuiery” (Vervolg van p. 1) Corbett sê dat die plase se waardasies nog meer vreemd is. “Ek het net ‘n paar vergelyk, met baie wat 200% op is en baie waarvan die waarde 50% tot 100% minder is.” Mnr. Stephen Hoffman, voor sitter van die Soutpansberg Dis trik Landbouunie, het gesê dat

die SDLU kennis neem van die nuwe waardasierol. Hoffman het gesê dat hy hom nie wil uitspreek oor die paar gruwelike desimale foute op die rol nie. “Die amptelike standpunt van die SDLU is dat ons bereid is om te betaal vir dienste aan ons gelewer en daardie dienste moet van so ‘n standaard wees soos

vooraf met ons ooreengekom en volgens ‘n tarief wat vooraf met ons ooreengekom is,” het Hoffman gesê. Hy het bygevoeg dat ‘n boer sy eie gras langs die pad sny, sy eie vullis verwyder, sy eie water voorsien en ‘n geweldige bedrag aan elektrisiteitsvoorsiening spandeer.

The Bridge Auto workshop in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) was awarded a second-place certificate for outstanding service management during the Ford Merit Club awards in the C-category workshops of South Africa. A large part of this award was based on client satisfaction. For the past four years, the workshop has managed to be nominated as finalists, but this is the first year that they managed to clinch a spot in the top three places. Workshop manager Mr Charl Haasbroek (kneeling in front right) thanked his team for their hard work and dedication. “Without them, this would obviously not have been possible,” he said.

Munisipale “oplossing” nou ‘n groter probleem ‘n Nuwe, “onwettige” stortingsterrein het agter die munisipale stortingsterrein op die Vondelingpad ontstaan, met munisipale voertuie wat lustig meedoen aan die onwettige stortings. Dat die ou terrein oorvol is en lankal gesluit moes gewees het, is reeds ‘n bekende feit. Die nuutste “probleemoplossing”, wat nog meer probleme skep, is die skraap van ‘n munisipale pad aan die agterkant van die stortingsterrein. Hierdie gedeelte het in ‘n nuwe vullisterrein ontaard. Met die on langse groot reëns was dié nuutgeskraapte pad net een groot pappery en vullis is bloot op die ryvlak gegooi, ‘n toegangspad na omliggende wonings. Hierdie pad verleen ook toegang tot die perseel waar die Bergcare kommune bejaardes huisves. Mnr. Andries Smal van die NG Kerk Louis Tri chardt-gemeente is baie betrokke by Bergcare en gebruik dié pad elke paar dae. Hy was geskok toe hy die omvang van die situasie besef en het op 5 Maart foto’s geneem van ‘n munisipale voertuig wat “sommer rommel in die pad stort”. Die besta ande pad wat na Bergcare en ander huise lei, word stukkend gery deur die groot vragmotors. Dit het Smal verder gepla dat ‘n munisipale voertuig rommel stort op ‘n Eskom serwituutgebied onder hoogspanningkragdrade en hy het mnr. Louis van der Walt, plaaslike Eskom sektorbestuurder, laat weet. Van der Walt het die plek ‘n paar maal besoek en met ‘n munisipale amptenaar in gesprek getree. “Hy het sekere verduidelikings gegee en genoem dat dit eintlik ‘n toegangsroete is na die oorspronklike stortingsterrein, maar van die agterkant af. Daar moes geen rommel daar gestrooi geword het nie. Die masjien wat die rommel skuif sit tans vas in die modder en sal alles so gou as moontlik skuif en verwyder… Alle risiko’s is aan hom verduidelik, soos die rommel op Eskom se serwituutgebied wat dadelik verwyder moet word, die vragmotors wat naby die lyn kom en die ‘safe working clearance encroach’,” het Van der Walt

in ‘n e-pos geskryf. Daar is ook aan Van der Walt gesê dat die plek toegespan sal word, moontlik binne ‘n week. Later was dit nie net meer munisipale voertuie wat vullis agter die huidige vullisterrein gestrooi het nie, maar inwoners het dié voorbeeld gevolg. Ook langs die hoofroete na die stortingsterrein word rommel gestort. “Die hele dorp gaan gooi nou omtrent hulle goed daar. Ek moes in die pad wag tot twee groot vragmotors uit die modderpad kom sodat twee ander weer daar kon ingaan. Een was ‘n munisipale voertuig. Rommel word op die kante van die pad gestrooi,” het Smal gesê. Hy het op 7 Maart ‘n skrywe gerig aan die departement van omgewingsake se Groen Skerpioene en Maan dag terugvoer gekry dat hulle die gegewens vir ‘n ondersoekbeampte aangestuur het. “Ek het ook met mnr. Phineas Nndwakulu van die stortingsterrein afdeling van die Makhado Munisipaliteit gepraat en gesê dat die plaaslike mense ook nou rommel daar stort. Hy het gesê dat hy dit aan die betrokke amptenaar sal deurgee om mense uit te stuur om dit te verhoed,” het Smal gesê. Mnr. Johnny Welman, die eienaar van die perseel waar die Bergcare kommune is, het gesê dat hulle voertuie se bande moet vervang weens die skerp voorwerpe in die pad. “Ons wil ook nie hê dat die oumense met hierdie gemors naby hul blyplek moet sit nie,” het Welman gesê. Die munisipaliteit het teen druktyd nog geen navrae oor die aangeleentheid beantwoord nie. Mnr. Julius Kleynhans, AfriForum se hoof van omgewingsake, het gesê dat dit onwettig is om rom mel buite die stortingsterrein te stort. “Die reën sou gesien kon word as ‘n versagtende omstandigheid, maar as die situasie vererger nadat die reën opgehou het, kan AfriForum ‘n regsproses aan die gang sit deur ‘n vermaningsbrief aan die munisipaliteit te stuur,” het Kleynhans gesê.

‘n Nuwe “onwettige” stortingsterrein het agter die munisipale stortingsterrein op die Vondelingpad ontstaan en rommel word ook op ‘n pad gegooi wat toegang verleen na inwoners se woonhuise.

Trading with sewage at their front door Imagine doing business with sewage running past your front door. This is exactly what some businesspeople in Eltivillas in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) had to stomach the past week. “It was horrible. We sell food and have clients who eat outside. Raw sewage and other personal stuff was afloat, coming out of a manhole in front of the shop … Our cleaner tied something over the nose to block out the smell before starting to try and clean up the mess,” said Ms Charlene A food business in Commercial Street in Eltivillas had the horrible experience of raw sewage and Spies from Snappy Snacks in other personal stuff coming out of a manhole in front of the shop and out of drains on the side on Commercial Street.

liaised with the municipality, who eventually managed to stop the spillage before 13:00 on the same day. The strong and repugnant smell in Commercial Street had already been mentioned by a resident on AfriForum’s Facebook page on 25 February. “They sell fruit and vegetables along that road. How do the people working in that area stand it? I think it could be a health hazard. Please, is there anyone I can contact about fixing that s**t smell? This town seems to be going backwards very fast,” wrote Ms Lynne Novella. The media liaison officer of Vhembe District Municipality, Mr Moses Shibambu, said on the same page on 23 February that the techni cians were busy fixing sewage leaks “as there seem to be many

leakages.” Vhembe’s Makhado water services manager, Mr David Mukosi, confirmed this week that they had their hands full with sewage spills. “We have a problem with some of the contractors who worked on the streets in Eltivil las. They performed their duties, but did not communicate with us. While using their TLBs, they damaged some manhole covers and did damage on ground level. Some of the contractors came to lay other lines that are not connected to our lines. We are trying to rectify the lines one by one as sewage spills occur,” Mukosi said and added that they had not yet unblocked the whole sewerage system. “We also have problems in the industrial area,” Mukosi said.

On Friday, 7 March, sewage was running all along Commercial Street in Eltivillas.

Inwoners se kookkuns sal ander kan help

Bergcare, die plaaslike maatskappy wat gestig die gemeenskap te betrek by die werk van dié is om bejaardes in Makhado (Louis Trich- maatskappy. ardt) te help versorg, beplan ‘n besonderse Op Donderdagaand, 20 Maart, word daar ‘n geldinsamelings- en bekendstellingsaksie om kookkompetisie gehou op die parkeerterrein van die Haantjiekerk waarheen alle belangstellendes en liefdadigheidsorganisasies uitgenooi is vir deel name. Dié kompetisie is geskoei op die lees van die gewilde Masterchef-programme op televisie. Elke span, bestaande uit 10 lede, word voorsien van ‘n “verrassingspak” met ‘n klompie bestanddele, waaronder ‘n snit vleis (2 tot 3kg), twee groentes (een geel, een groen), een stysel, ‘n vrugtesoort en “iets lekkers”(malvalekkers, kondensmelk of iets dergeliks). Die kos moet dan op ‘n Weber braaier berei word en daarna word dit beoordeel deur Sarel van Sabie – ‘n finalis in Masterchef SA en Kokkedore. Tussen 18 en 20 tafels sal verskaf word, asook tafellinne, messegoed en eetgerei. Die tafels word deur die spanne self voorberei en versier. Slegs hoofgeregte en nageregte wat op die Weber voorberei is, kom in aanmerking vir beoordeling, maar die spanne kan ook ander bykosse, soos slaaie, saambring om tot die feestelikheid by te dra. Eie drinkgoed vir die aand moet ook saamgebring word, asook speserye vir die kokery. Benewens die kompetisie om die algehele wen ners aan te wys, is daar ook kleiner kompetisies vir onder andere die beste hoofgereg, mooiste tafel, die tafel met die beste gees, ens. Daar gaan die aand lekker gekuier word onder die geklank van musiek, met die kokery wat begin om 17:30 en die beoordeling wat om 19:30 plaasvind.

Small bread tags can make a big difference

Laerskool Louis Trichardt se prefekte het op 1 Maart ‘n ouer-en-kind-dag gereël, waarna hulle R3 000 aan die Makhado Care Group, wat kankerlyers van die dorp ondersteun, oorhandig het.

“Small bread tag - big difference!” has been the motto of Louis Trichardt Primary School since they joined the Bread Tags for Wheelchairs project. Last week their collection was enough to make a difference in someone’s life with a wheelchair. Bread Tags for Wheelchairs is a highly success ful project of the Polystyrene Packaging Council (PSPC) that is currently in its sixth year. The project encourages people all around the country to collect their bread tags which are then sold for recycling and the proceeds are used to purchase wheelchairs for people who are unable to afford them. Hundreds of lives have already been touched by the project. The moment has arrived that somebody in the local community’s life will also be touched. The school children have been collecting bread tags since 2011. “The aim of this project has been to hand over a wheelchair to someone within our own (community) who could not afford the R1 750 required to purchase a wheel chair. We found that 247.5 kilograms of bread tags were sufficient for one wheel chair. With the aid of a retired nursing sister, Chloe Eilertson, we were able to acquire a wheelchair,” says deputy principal Ms Irene Adendorff. The wheelchair was officially handed over to one of the directors of the Makhado Care Group, Ms Jernay McLeod, on 4 March. “The Makhado Care Group is an organization which is doing sterling work in our community in assisting cancer pa tients,” said Adendorff. The Makhado Care Group will decide on the use of the wheel chair. Bread tags are made from high-density polysty rene and industries pay for them in order to recycle them into coat hangers, outdoor furniture, skirtings, cornices and seedling trays. “We are definitely continuing with the collection of bread tags and encourage children to bring them to Ms Sussa Ehlers’ class.

Louis Trichardt Primary School joined the Bread Tags for Wheelchairs project in 2011 and since then, the children had collected more than 200 kilograms of bread tags. Their collection had reached the point where it was enough to make a difference in someone’s life with a wheelchair.

Road Safety

Be prepared for your journey Every year, thousands of motorists across South Africa set off on long, often exhausting journeys without adequate preparation of their vehicles or enough rest. In their rush to leave, they people often skimp on checking and preparing their vehicles adequately for the journey. Not surprisingly, this is often reflected in problems experienced during the departing trip. Estimates suggest that fatigue is a factor in up to 30% of fatal crashes and 15% of serious injury crashes. Driving, whether it’s a journey of 500 kilometres or it involves a long trek of over 1 000 kilometres, brings its

own set of challenges. Many drivers prefer to drive during the night-time to avoid driving in heavy traffic or during the heat of the day. About 40% of accidents occur at night. This is not surprising, as night-time driving decreases one’s driving abilities. S Planning the journey ahead – including rest and stop-over points – helps break it down into realistic, manageable drives that get you to your destination safely and relaxed. To help motorists plan for their journey, the following recommendations could be helpful: • Begin your journey well rested. Have a good night’s

sleep before you set off. • Respect your biorhythm. Depart at a time when your body is used to being awake and active. • Don’t drink any alcohol before departure. • Avoid any medication that may make you drowsy. • Avoid peak departure times. • Take regular breaks. Rest immediately when you feel signs of fatigue. Go for a short walk. • Avoid heat build-up in the car. Research has shown that high temperatures have the same effect as a blood alcohol level of 0.5.

Cheeky little Sonic RS packs a big punch The new Chevrolet Sonic RS, with its sporty looks, will certainly appeal to those young at heart and with a need for speed. With pumpedup looks, a racing 1.4litre turbo petrol engine and highly tuned suspension, this hot hatch is a sports car that functions as a driver’s car. On that note, the Sonic’s engine pushes 103kW at 6 300 rpm and 200Nm from 2500 revs, which is mated to a sixspeed manual trans mission, offering a claimed 197km/h top speed and a comfortable sprint of 0100km/h in 9,5 seconds. Not enough to push you back in your seat, though still athletic enough for perfor manceminded buyers, the Sonic comes into the market at R225 300. In addition, the tuned exhaust system allows the performance to be heard as well, while still maintaining comfortable noise levels at all times. It is, however, not just excitement and sporty driving antics. Providing a balance is the ECO TEC engine that ensures a 6.6litre per 100km fuel consumption. Making sure the Sonic sticks to the road is its MacPherson strut design up front and multilink setup at the rear. The Sonic also features a lower ride height, with stiffer suspension and perfor mancetuned dampers to deliver a communica tive and firmyetcomfortable ride. In the looks department the Sonic rides on 17 inch alloy wheels, has an RSspecific grille and motorcycleinspired tail lights which give it that sporty look. Inside, the Chev Sonic is just as hot as it is on the outside.

The interior continues the sporty design with a jetblack theme, red accents abound in the leathercovered seats, a new threespoke steering wheel, aluminium pedals and unique instrument panel graphics. What is more, the Chevrolet’s advance MyLink infotainment system has made its debut in the Sonic RS, bring smartphone functionality to drivers. This system is an integration of the most popular and advanced infotainment func tions incorporated into an easytouse, attractive and effective interface which transforms the Sonic into a connected entertainment hub while on the move. MyLink is fitted as standard on the new Sonic RS and features as an optional extra on 2014 Sonic LS models. The highresolution, 7inch touch screen is perfectly integrated into the vehicle’s dashboard and features touchbutton controls, almost resembling a tablet. Bluetooth audio streaming with playlist customisation and full smartphone integration allows MyLink to stay connected and become an extension of your smartphone. Phonebooks and call lists can also be inte grated, courtesy of the smartdialing feature that makes calling not only easier but safer too. Since the Sonic’s launch in February, it is now also available at Imperial GM here in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Anyone of their friendly sales people can be contacted at Tel 015 516 0239 to book a test drive or get more information. (Information: quickpic.co.za)

The new Toyota Corolla not only offers a sleek design, it is now more spacious than ever. (Photo: quickpic.co.za).

Toyota is back with 11th generation Corolla This week will see the launch of the all-new 11th generation Toyota Corolla at Werda Toyota in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). The new Toyota is roomy and refined – guar anteed to appeal to its traditional customer base as a more practical and refined sedan. Starting from just R214 900, the all new Corolla is style, comfort and performance that every family can afford. The new Corolla boasts a cuttingedge design, featuring an expressive face courtesy of its striking headlamp clusters that elegantly frame the sporty grille. In profile, the new Corolla’s flanks are pierced by a character link linking the top of the front wheel arch with the rear lamp cluster. All of the new models (Esteem, Prestige, Sprinter and Exclusive), apart from the entrylev el Esteem, come standard equipped with 16inch alloys. Overall, the premium build quality of the new design of the Corolla is highlighted by the minimal panel gaps befitting a luxury vehicle. The gap between fender and front door has been reduced as well as between front and rear doors and between rear door and quarter panel. Moving indoors, the design team also accepted the challenge to create an even more spacious interior. The Corolla has received a complete ly refurbished interior, featuring a stylishly redesigned cockpit and superior trim materials. There is a generous list of equipment, including leather upholstery as standard on all models bar the entrylevel Esteem grade. The display audio system with reverse monitor (rear camera) is

another class first – it is standard even on mid grade Prestige models. To attain more space inside the Corolla, the wheelbase was extended 100mm (compared to the outgoing model), and the additional length was allocated effectively for design enhancement and interior expansions. Additionally, the rear passenger room has been made more spacious and comfortable by, in part, moving back the rear seat hip point by 75mm, increasing rear seat leg room by 92mm, to a classleading 706mm. Boot capacity has also increased to 452 litres. At the heart of the Corolla is a fuelefficient and reliable engine. Prospective owners can choose from the pennywise 1.3, the solid performing 1.6, or the energetic 1.8litre petrol engines, all underpinned by Toyota’s hightech variablevalvetiming intelligent system. All versions also come standard with a sixspeed manual transmission. A Multidrive S automat ic transmission is available on the 1.6 and 1.8 models. A laudable fuel consumption (claimed) of just 6 l/100 km is attainable in the combined cycle. Another new addition to the Corolla range is the 1.4 turbo diesel engine, returning a fuel consumption of 4.5 l/100 km. When you consider Toyota’s legendary reliability, vast dealer network and standard five year/90 000 km service plan as well as competi tive pricing (from R214 900 to R283 900) there is no reason not to book a test drive today.

Don’t forget tyre pressures

You’ve ticked all the right boxes when it comes to making sure that everything is seamlessly in place for that weekend away, but can you say the same for your tyres? The more worn your tyres, the less traction and grip you will have on the road, meaning your braking distance will increase and you are more likely to skid when driving in the rain. In fact, the legal tread depth limit in South Africa is a minimum of 1mm across the entire circumference of the tyre. If you are not sure wheth er your tyres are legal, ask a

wheel and tyre professional to point out the tread wear indica tors on your tyres. The right tyre pressure can also be the difference between life and death. Don’t assume the pressure is two bars. Each car comes with recommended pressures which you will find in the sill of the driver’s door or inside the fuel cap. Rather take the time to check these and make sure the pres sure is just right. Overinflated tyres erode quickly at their centre, while underinflated tyres wear on the outsides more quickly. Underinflated

tyres overheat easily and can cause tyre bursts notorious for road fatalities. Before you get on your way, also check that you have a spare tyre and that it is inflated to the right pressure, and has the right amount of tread – at least 1mm – for a safe journey. Staying in your lane is a basic rule, but neglecting the balancing and alignment of your wheels can make you lose your step. If your car is shak ing or pulling to one side while you are driving, you need to get your wheels balanced and aligned.

For the first time in many years the Makhado Municipality achieved a qualified audit opinion from the auditor general (AG) for its financial statements for the year ended June 2013. This is a step better than the disclaimers and adverse opinions of the previous years, but not yet the unqualified or so-called “clean” audit that the municipality is striving for. Some of the facts in the report that draw attention are the outstanding debt of the municipality that is more than R170m as a result of poor collection practices and irregular expenditure stated at above R47m. The achievement rate of 24% in terms of targets planned for is also not good news for the taxpayer. These facts, however, did not influence the AG in his opinion. Why not, would be the question? “It is important to understand that the auditor general’s report contains three sections which are, from the last to the first, Performance matters (legal and regulatory requirements), Emphasis of important matters and the Annual Financial Statements, and the qualified opinion was based only on the annual financial statements,” said professional accountant André van Niekerk of Pro forum Accountants in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), a member of SAIPA (the South African Institute of Professional Accountants). Van Niekerk was asked by the Zoutpansberger to shed some light on the findings of the report. Performance matters relate to achievement of objectives, compliance with laws and regulations and general management and control. Five of the seven pages in the AG Report were devoted to performance matters. Van Niekerk analysed some of the great challenges. A total number of 244 achievement targets were planned for, of which only 59 were achieved. This is a failure rate of 76%, or an achievement rate of only 24%. “This points to poor management of goals and daily management,” said Van Niekerk.

Due to a lack of proper budgeting and monitor ing of performance management, a total of 86% of the unachieved targets were not disclosed in the annual performance report. “That means that it was hidden from publication, while 90% of the published measures taken to improve performance were unreliable or misleading and could not be substantiated by evidence. This can be interpreted as an attempt to decorate the report to give the impression that measures were taken to improve performance,” said Van Niekerk. The performance targets set were not sufficient in that 43% of the targets were not specific, 35% were not measurable, 69% were not time bound and 34% were not well defined. “Lack of management skills and performance targets and measurements resulted in poor service delivery of 24% of what it should have been. This fact was deliberately hidden. Lack of skills and leadership caused huge losses, irregular spending and weak procurement controls,” was Van Niekerk’s conclusion on per formance matters. Emphasis on important matters refers to matters that the AG specifically wants to point out, but his opinion is not modified in respect of these matters. Here the report highlights the debt of R170,4m and the nearly R47,4m of irregular expenditure of the municipality. Concerning the Annual Financial Statements, the AG said that the statements were a fair reflection of the municipality’s financial position except in terms of three aspects where the AG could not determine whether the adjustments were necessary. “The municipality did not disclose related-party trans actions in the financial statements as required by international Public Sector Accounting Standard,” reports the AG. A related-party transaction can be defined as a business deal or arrangement between two parties who are joined by a special relationship prior to the deal. Failure to disclose this is serious as it could be understood to be a corrupt practice.

The house of the Mbadaliga family of Tshiozwi also collapsed during the heavy rain.

Heavy rains take its toll on Vhembe region The past week’s heavy rains have created havoc in the Vhembe region and numerous families lost houses and other belongings while several roads and bridges were damaged. Many of the region’s dams and rivers are over flowing, following the heavy downpours. Mud houses are especially vulnerable during such rain and in rural areas many of these have collapsed. Several families lost groceries, furniture and other belongings. Ms Rabelani Mbadaliga of Tshiozwi, one of the victims, was busy cleaning up and assessing the damage after her three-room house had collapsed. Along with other family members, they tried to rescue some of the furniture damaged during the storms. Her house’s corrugated roof was also badly damaged. Ms Dorcus Matshivha of Kutama, whose house collapsed, said that she was outside when the walls started caving in. “Since I came to Kutama in 2010, I have never experienced this,” she said. She is now temporarily living with her neighbours with 14 other members of her family in a one-room shack. On Saturday afternoon, villagers were still drying out mattresses, blankets, clothes, furniture and food. Motorists who are staying in slippery mountain areas like Maelula, Tshakhuma, and Maungani are

parking their vehicles near the main tarred road, because they are unable to reach their homes. A spokesperson for the Vhembe district munic ipality, Matodzi Ralushai, said that the affected communities were now forced to use alternative roads to get to work or school and run everyday errands. “Most of the bridges have structural problems, while others are under water,” he said. “We have sent out a disaster team and we are visiting the different areas which have been affected by the floods. We are pleading with parents to warn their children not to swim in the dams or play near the rivers, because there are a lot of crocodiles,” said Ralushai. Ralushai told the Zoutpansberger that some of the families have been left homeless after their mud huts collapsed, but at this stage he has not received any reports of people injured after the huts had fall en down. He warned residents living close to rivers and streams that they must evacuate to a safer place or higher spot when the water level rises. “When you cross a flowing river where water reaches above your ankles, turn back and use alternative routes. Never try to walk, swim or drive in swift-flowing water as it can sweep you off your feet. Do not drive over a low-water bridge if the water is flowing strongly across it,” he said.

Roux was leading discussions regarding a number of pest and disease problems that face the current plantation grown. The recent appearance of the rust fungus, Acacia mearnsii, early this year in KwaZulu-Natal was, according to Roux, a reason for concern. The fact that the forestry industry in the Soutpansberg is so far inland is stated as the reason why this disease has not been spotted here. Roux cautioned, however, that this does not mean that the Soutpansberg forests will never be hit by plagues and pests. “History has shown us that we can expect other pest and disease problems ap pearing on plantation-grown trees in South Africa in the future. We therefore need to be continuously vigilant,” said Roux. Her advice for farmers and forest companies were to get involved with the government and scientists as early detection will go a long way in pro-actively combating tree diseases.

The Council of Musina Municipality met its management team in a three-day strategic planning session in order to come up with fresh ideas and plans aimed at maintaining a high standard of service delivery. The meeting was held at Forever Resorts Tshipise, about 35km east of Musina town. Mayor Carol Phiri says the exercise was fruitful as the de liberations will help to maintain the positive image of the munic ipality. “We met to define our strategy or direction, and making decisions on allocating our re sources to pursue this strategy, including our capital and people. This was our opportunity to an alyze our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, includ ing political, economic, social, and technological elements. During the meeting, we also evaluated how the resolutions of

the previous financial year had been implemented and we were satisfied that we did a wonderful job during the previous financial year.” She says she is happy to note that the municipality has devel oped its strategic plan in a way that it is easily translatable into action plans. “We need to move away from the traditional way of addressing high-level initiatives and over-arching goals which end up not being articulated into dayto-day projects and tasks that will be required to achieve our plans. We are surely going to turn things around this time.” According to Phiri, the strate gic planning session has assisted the municipality in clearly defin ing the purpose of the municipal ity and to establish realistic goals and objectives consistent with the mission in a defined time frame within the institution’s capacity for implementation and how to

communicate those goals and objectives to the municipality’s constituents. “This has also as sisted us in developing a sense of ownership of the plan and to ensure the most effective use is made of the municipality’s re sources by focusing the resources on the key priorities. The session has also provided a base from which progress can be measured and a mechanism for informed change can be established when needed.” The occasion also served as a team-building exercise for the councillors and employees of the municipality. Phiri says team work and team building are essential in a corporate environ ment to make the organization a better place to work. “Employees are the assets of every organization and its suc cess is directly proportional to the hard work every employee puts in.”

“Municipality owes all these mothers and the taxpayers an apology”

know a mother who, for many years, squatted daily flat on the pavement with tomatoes for sale, to pay for her son’s tuition at school and further. I felt honoured to salute her whenever I passed her on that pavement. Now somebody in the Makhado Municipality has a sudden big fight with these self-sacrificing mothers, while remaining unper turbed by the drivers of taxis and buses who are unlawfully perpetrat ing every conceivable traffic trans gression at that very same point. At the same time, the municipal ity’s paid mother-fighter is ignoring the life-threatening illegal abortion posters being pasted up and handed out on every street corner in broad daylight, right under the nose of Makhado Municipality’s newly appointed law enforcer. (Does Mr Louis Bobodi still remember his public promise, pictured side by side with a police inspector in the newspaper, to act against these posters?) Brave, wise, champions who are

using OUR tax money to harass OUR heroic mother entrepreneurs? The Makhado Municipality owes these women and all their taxpayers an apology: For neglect and for hamhandedness. If they are truly concerned about law enforcement, what about policing some stop signs, parking spaces only for the physically handicapped, no-parking signs for buses and taxis and allow ing the uncontrolled parking on the wrong side of the street right on the pavement, in front of the munici pality’s liquor-selling neighbours? What about real, honest action against unlawful political posters on traffic signs, together with illegal abortion posters? Mister mother-fighter and his bosses should once again read carefully how their responsibility is being prescribed by law, also with regard to their maintenance and the conservation of public assets. That would be an excellent starting point, don’t you think? – Francis van der Merwe

Brief

“Dankie vir gebruik van jul terrein” amens al die CVO skole van die provinsie wil ons graag ‘n woord van dank teenoor Hoërskool Louis Trichardt uitspreek vir die gebruik van hulle sportfasiliteite vir die streeksatletiekbyeenkoms op Saterdag, 8 Maart. As gevolg van hulle goeie gesindheid kon ons ‘n suksesvolle byeenkoms aanbied, wat andersins nie moontlik sou wees nie. Aanvaar daarom asseblief ons waarde ring hiervoor en weet dat ons niks hiervan vanselfsprekend aanvaar nie, maar opreg dankbaar is vir julle gebaar. ‘n Spesiale woord van dank aan

die hoof, mnr. Theo Muller, wat op kort kennisgewing die baan aan ons beskikbaar gestel het, asook mnr. Minnie wat uit sy pad gegaan het om ons te akkommodeer en hulle toerusting en apparaat vir die geleentheid aan ons beskikbaar gestel het. Deur die Here se Genade het Hy die gordyne Saterdag oopgetrek en vir ons geleentheid gebied om ‘n pragtige dag aan te bied vir ons provinsie se skole – aan Hom al die eer. - Orion Theron (voorsitter van die Opvoedingsraad, CVO Skool Zoutpansberg)

Skynbaar is die wêreld nie altyd Daisy se woning nie. Ten spyte van haar beste probeerslae en mees nobele bedoelings, wil die natuurkragte nie saamspeel nie. Haar droom van ‘n speenvarkie op die spit en ‘n huis vol waarderende familiegaste, moes dalk by die droom gebly het...

en die skattige klein pienk varkie M

et die dat Daisy se hart en blyplek deesdae op meer as een plek is, rits sy die hele wêreld vol. Vir Daisy kom dit natuurlik. Sy vermoed sterk dat ‘n sigeunerkaravaan vir ‘n ruk onder haar stamboom staanplek (of liewer sláápplek!) gehad het. Sy het pakkery verfyn tot ‘n kuns – ‘n tandeborsel, sarong en ‘n panama hoed – en ondervinding het haar geleer dat plekke waar jy meer as dit nodig het gewoonlik nie die moeite werd is om te besoek nie. Daisy laat ook geen geleentheid verbygaan om ‘n rits kennisse en vriende in haar omswer winge te besoek nie. En daar waar sy geen siel ken nie, maak sy vinnig vriende by die omge wing se gewildste kuierplek. So sit Daisy en Baardman een aand teen sononder by ‘n watergat net buite Ellisras. Daar is bosgeluide van die dosyn of twee wit tarentale, die paartjie swart swane, besoekende watervoëls, weemoedige poue en twee mak zebras. “Woorde is totaal oorbodig wanneer die grootsheid van die bos ‘n mens se hart vol lê,” mymer Daisy. Baardman gee haar hand ‘n drukkie en glimlag instemmend. Dis hulle gemeenskaplike liefde vir Afrika en rondrits wat die min tyd wat hulle saam spandeer so spesiaal maak. Net voor donker stop daar nog ‘n safarivoer tuig op pad terug van Botswana af. Die groep in kakieklere sluit hulle lawaaierig by Daisy en Baardman aan en bestel Kaptein en Coke in dorstige hoeveelhede. En dis daardie aand waar Daisy die idee kry van ‘n verjaarsdag geskenk vir swaer Jakobus. Meer spesifiek toe die laataandgesprek gaan oor die voordele van ‘n varkboerdery; wat een van die kakiegekledes teen besonder goeie winste bedryf naby Potgie tersrus. Met ontbyt ruil Daisy en Baardman kontak

besonderhede uit met die boere. Daisy bevestig weer met die varkboer presies waar sy plaas is en dat hy een van sy speenvarkies vir haar sal hou. Sy sal so gou as wat sy vervoer kan reël Jakobus se verjaarsdagpersent laat afhaal. In haar geestesoog sien sy al die varkie heel gerooster soos net haar swaer kan – pragtig geglassuur met ‘n appeltjie in die bek en ‘n wortel... Dit vat al Daisy se oorredingsvermoë om twee weke later vir Plore te oortuig om ‘n klein ompad te ry om die verjaarsdagpersent saam te bring wanneer hy vir sy pa se verjaarsdag van Pretoria af kom. Uiteindelik het Daisy geen ander keuse as om vir Plore af te pers nie: “Hoorie my liewe nefie, as jy nie daai onskuld ige ou pienk varkie in jou kar het wanneer jy hier aankom nie, is daar ‘n storie of twee wat ek dink jou ma’le vreeslik baie sal in belangstel. Onder andere oor watse soort buurvrouens jy mee vriende maak daar in die bose stad...” Dit raak doodstil aan die ander kant. “Of wat van die aand daar in Hatfield toe jy eintlik moes studeer...” Dié keer het Daisy nie nodig om haar sin klaar te maak om vir Plore te oortuig nie. Daar is ‘n groot sug en een medi um-lelike woord. “Nouja toe, Daisy. Dis nie nodig dat jy dit so invryf nie. Ek skat ek is jou dankbaar vir baie dingetjies wat jy vir my doen, maar met hierdie één guns is die bord skoongevee, hoor jy? Dan skuld ek jou niks meer nie!” “En ek doen dit net omdat jy my oortuig het watse skoon diere varke eintlik is,” voeg hy by. “Jy weet hoe heilig ek is op my kar...” Die Vrydag van Die Verjaarsdagnaweek is Daisy die ene glimlaggies. Sy doen haar werk op die plaas terwyl sy af en toe spontaan begin sing “How much is that piggie in the window, oink oink...” Die pakkers in die pakhuis wat al min of meer alles van Daisy gewoond is, lag net en moedig haar aan met ‘n paar danspassies om nog te sing. Dis toe ook net na tjailatyd wat Plore se silwer karretjie met ‘n spoed deur die plasse water jaag op pad huistoe. Hy waai nie uitbundig soos sy

The Way, the Truth and the Life

Ecclesiastes 5:10-17 od has given us a wonderful world to enjoy. We should make sensible use of God’s gifts, but always remember that one day we shall die and all that we own will be left behind. Job put it this way: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there.” (Job 1:21) To love the things of the world more than the things of God is a sad situation for any person to be in. God must be first in everything. The only treasure that counts when we die is the spiritual treasure that is stored for us in heaven. The Christian should be someone who looks forward to the coming of Christ because it means leaving this world of sin and death and going to be with Jesus, the giver of eternal life and pure joy. Take to heart the words of Jesus Christ our lord in Matt 6:19-21: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be.” Where is your heart? - 079 5168303

gewoonte is nie, hy stop nie eers om vir Daisy op te laai langs die pad nie. Die donderweer op sy gesig is blouer as die dreigende wolke wat oor die Soutpansberg saampak. ‘n Ent van die huis af hoor Daisy al die gejil van ‘n beangste vark en die opgewonde stemme van Ousus, Precious en Plore. En die bekende maaglag van Jakobus wat in onkeerbare sarsies bo dit uitstyg. Die honde blaf histeries en hard loop rondom Plore se kar. Binne hoorafstand kan Daisy net Plore se woedende stem uitmaak: “Hoe de hêl kry ek die gedierte hier uit? Kom help, Precious! Pa, hou op lag en kom vat daai kant ... Ma, praat met Pa – dis ernstige moeilikheid hierdie! As ek daai sussie van Ma in die hande kry, wurg ek haar vir ‘n week lank!” Daisy besluit dis veiliger om vir ‘n stappie in die bos te gaan. Later die aand, toe almal buite op die stoep sit en die braaivleisvuur al goed kole maak, hoor Daisy toe die storie van ‘n meer bedaarde Plore. “Jy vertel my dit gaan so klein pienk varkie wees, Daisy. Jy sê ek sal die ou dingetjie in ‘n handdoek kan toedraai en by die voetruim aan die passasierkant kan laat lê. Jy het my belowe die gedreun en gewieg van die kar sal dit soos ‘n babatjie laat slaap, dat ek nooit sal weet dat daar ‘n onskuldige diertjie in die kar saam met my is nie...” “Wel, my liewe tannie, ek vermoed jy het nog nooit ‘n Landrasvark gesien nie. Landras speenvarkies is nie cute of pienk nie, hulle is HUGE! G’n handdoek sal om daai lyf gaan nie, toe gooi hulle die ding in ‘n streepsak en sny net ‘n stukkie uit vir die snoet. En al waar die varkie inpas is agter in die kattebak!” “En van Potties af tot hier het daardie verjaarsdagpersent van my pa nie ‘n oomblik opgehou skree of skyt nie! Het jy enige idee hoe ruik my kar?!” Jakobus se hele lyf begin weer ruk van die lag.

Entries open for annual Kremetart Cycle Race

Elegant Fuel from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) is gearing up for the 2014 Donaldson CrossCountry Motor Racing Championship. This petroleum company has been sponsoring team Sullwald since 2010. This year, the team remains unchanged for the new season, with Quintin and Karl-Heinz “Kallie” Sullwald, campaigning in their BAT Venom, and Hermann and Wichard Sullwald, who will be out in their STRYKER. It is worth mentioning that the team won four Class A victories. Even so, they missed out on the championship pace, due to some bad luck and reliability issues with the new race cars. Photo supplied. Fietsrynuus

Bespreek gou, want stalletjies is min Persone wat graag ‘n stalletjie by die toerisme inligtingsentrum wil bespreek vir vanjaar se gewilde Kremetart Fietswedren vanaf 6 tot 8 Junie sal moet gou maak, aangesien daar plek is vir slegs 24 stalletjies. Die Kremetart Fietswedren in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) word vanjaar vir die 25ste keer aange bied en beloof om iets besonders te wees. Die koste per stalletjie vir 6 en 7 Junie (Vrydag en Saterdag) is R500 per stalletjie en R250 per stalletjie op 8 Junie (Sondag) vir die bergwedren. Die uitstal ruimte is 3x3 meter. Buiten vir

die koeldrank wat binne en buite die biertuin verkoop sal word, sal daar vanjaar slegs een kos stalletjie per kossoort toegelaat word. Herhalings van kossoorte sal nie toegelaat word nie. “Ons probeer daarop fokus om ook soveel moontlik uitstallers te lok om ‘n groter verskeidenheid van produkte daar te hê,” sê die organiseerders. ‘n Stalletjie sal slegs bespreek en bevestig kan word indien bewys van betaling ontvang is. “Stalletjies gaan nie gehou word en later betaal word nie. Die be ginsel van ‘eerste betaal, eerste bespreek’ sal geld,” sê die klub.

Daar gaan ook ‘n geleentheid gebied word vir vier stalletjies vir 8 Junie tydens die bergfiets wedren. Slegs persone wat nie ‘n geleentheid kon kry om op Vrydag en Saterdag ‘n stalletjie te bekom nie sal ‘n geleentheid kry. Besprekings kan gedoen word by Rina Vermeulen by tel. 083 297 6925, e-pos lcvent@mweb. co.za of faks 086 621 4488.

Entries are open for the 25th Kremetart oneday, four-stage cycling race, sponsored by PPC. The PPC Kremetart Stage Race turns 25 this year and calls on all competitive cyclists and enthusiasts to participate in the race, which takes place on 7 June. This year marks the 10th year that PPC has been involved in its sponsorship and the third year that they are the main sponsors of the race. The Kremetart Cy cling Race attracts cy clists from all over the country and over 10 000 visitors are hosted in the region. This provides a financial injection of more than R20 million towards the Makhado (Louis Trichardt) area, in accommodation, en tertainment and other operating expenditure. The weekend is geared towards the whole family, with ac tivities for cyclists of different ages and fit ness levels. Friday (6 June) late afternoon will kick off with a 10km mountain-bike fun ride. On Saturday, the main attraction will be the fa mous one-day, four-stage race, as well as a 70km road race. For the more adventurous, there is a moun tain-bike cross-country olympic race with scenic routes through the Soutspansberg Mountain, to be held on Sunday (8 June). PPC’s customer executive: cement sales and marketing, Richard Tomes, says that PPC is de

lighted to sponsor this event as it offers amateur cyclists an opportunity to ride with professionals and, at the same time, experience the beautiful Soutpansberg region. “It is a serious race, but also a time for families to spend time together and enjoy the great outdoors,” he said. The first Kremetart Race was held in 1990, with only 50 cyclists. The popularity of the race has grown annually and continues to do so. The organisers set a limit of 2 000 entries in order to provide an enjoyable and quality experience. “This is the third year that PPC and Kremetart Cycling are joining forc es to present the biggest cycling event in the Lim popo Province. We are privileged to have PPC as our main sponsor as they are committed to promoting cycling, not only in our province, but countrywide. With the ongoing partnership with PPC, this race is known as one of the best-organised races in South Africa. As this is the 25th year of the Kremetart Cycle Race, we aim to make all par ticipants’ and supporters’ cycling experiences something to remember,” says Renda Alexander, PPC Kremetart race organizer of the P&L Cycling Club of Louis Trichardt. Kremetart is rated as one of the top three road races amongst cyclists in the country. Enter online at www.kremetartcycling.co.za. Entries close on 31 May at midnight.

Krieket

Limpopo en Vikings-stryd opwindend Die dorp se krieketspanne het die afgelope naweek weer mekaar die stryd aangesê in die volgende rondte wedstryde van die Louis Trichardt Krieketklub se 20/20-liga. Op 8 Maart kom Limpopo teen die Vikings te staan en AFB Makhado (Lugmag) teen die span van SP11 (Sheldon & Prinsloo). Die wedstryd tussen Limpopo en die Vikings het vir heel wat opwinding gesorg, met die wenlopies wat eers in die 20ste beurt, met slegs vier balle oor, aangeteken kon word. Die Vi kings wen die loot en besluit om te kolf. Openingskolwer J. Botha lê ‘n goeie fondasie en vervul ‘n ankerrol met sy 44 lopies van 52 balle af. Hy is goed ondersteun deur Vikings se W. Smit, wat op nommer 5 ingekom het. Hy het ‘n vinnige 44 lopies van 35 balle aangeteken vir ‘n 60-lopie ven nootskap tussen hom en Botha. Vikings slaag daarin om hul 20 beurte uit te kolf met 134 lopies

op die telbord vir die verlies van ses paaltjies. Die meeste paaltjies is ingepalm deur Limpopo se W. Smit (drie vir nege lopies in vier beurte) en A. Leeb (2 vir 37 in 4). Limpopo jaag van meet af die telling met ‘n vinnige 29 lopies van 20 balle af deur openings kolwer L. Olwage en sewe van 12 balle af deur A. Fourie vir ‘n 39-lopie eerste-paaltjie vennoots kap. Nommer 3 kolwer T. Smit bou voort op die goeie fondasie en teken 52 lopies (n.u.n.) aan in 44 balle. Limpopo se W. Smit het ook ‘n welkome 19 lopies (n.u.n.) aangeteken, met Limpopo wat in 19.2 beurte die wenlopies moker vir ‘n telling van 138/4, wat aan hulle ‘n ses-paaltjie oorwinning besorg. Vir die Vikings was die enigste bouler wat daarin kon slaag om meer as een paaltjie plat te trek F. van Niekerk (2 vir 26 in 4 beurte). Die wedtryd tussen Lugmag en SP11 het vir heelwat minder opwinding gesorg. Lugmag wen

die loot en besluit om eerste te kolf. Weer sukkel Lugmag ietwat met die kolf, maar slaag daarin om 76 lopies op die telbord te plaas voordat hulle almal uit geboul is in die 16de beurt. Die enigste twee kolwers wat daarin kon slaag om dubbelsyfers aan te teken was Gerhard* (12 van nege balle af) en Dave* (13 van 22 balle af). Vir SP11 was Nimesh* ver woestend met die bal en trek ses paaltjies plat vir die verlies van slegs ses lopies in 1.4 beurte. Spanmaat Kayur* palm om sy beurt twee paaltjies in vir die ver lies van 11 lopies in vier beurte. SP11 het slegs ses beurte nodig gehad om die wenlopies aan te teken met ‘n telling van 77/3. Dit was grootliks te danke aan kolwer Ikram* wat 37 lopies (n.u.n.) gemoker het van slegs 19 balle af en Lugmag se 23 ekstras. Lugmag se CJ*, Dave* en Seba ta* het elk een paaltjie platgetrek. *Vanne nie beskikbaar.

Provinsie se CVO-skole pak mekaar Die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het die naweek gasheer gespeel vir die BCVO Limpopo Atletiekbyeenkoms. Agt skole van regoor die pro vinsie het deelgeneem om te kan kwalifiseer vir die landswye atle tiek-byeenkoms wat op 22 Maart in Sasolburg aangebied sal word. Die volgende laerskoolat lete van Zoutpansberg het al mal pres teer tydens Saterdag se byeenkoms: Dihan Pretorius (2de 100m, 150m en verspring, 3de spiesgooi), Jani Badenhorst (1ste 1 200m, 2de 100 m en 150, en 3de 75m hekkies en 1 200 m), Junior Smit (3de 100m en verspring), André Breytenbach

(2de 75m hekkies, 3de gewig stoot, 100m en 150m), Luné Robbertze (1ste 80m en 100m), Anika Badenhorst (1ste 1 200m en turbospies, 2de 60m en 80m), Innes Steyn (1ste hekkies, 2de hoogspring en 3de verspring), Erwee Robbertze (2de 800m), Ruda Schoeman (1ste 800m en 1 500m, en 3de 200m), Andrea Badenhorst (1ste turbospies, 3de 60m en 80m) en Kaily Botes (2de 60m en 80m). Ruda en Jani deel ook die trofee vir die beste meisiesbaanatleet tydens die byeenkoms. In die hoërskoolafdeling het die volgende Zoutpansberg-at lete medaljes gewen: Gerrad van Breda (2de gewigstoot, 3de

diskusgooi en 200m), Leon du Plessis (1ste 100m en 200m, en 2de 400m), Melissa Stemmet (1ste gewigstoot, spies- en di skusgooi), Zhanté Booysen (1ste gewigstoot, 2de diskus, en 3de spiesgooi), Chandré Breytenbach (2de spiesgooi, 3de gewigstoot), Gray Badenhorst (1ste 1 500m, 2de 800m en 3de 100m), Charel Bloem (1ste diskus, 3de gewig stoot), Janco Marais (1ste 100m, 200m en 800m), Henlo Olivier (1ste 3 000m en 1 500m), Hennie Badenhorst (1ste 100m en 200m, 2de 1 500m) en Rüann Booysen (2de 800m en 1 500m). Hennie is ook aangewys as die beste hoërskool baanatleet vir die dag.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se eerste rugby span het Saterdag soos een man gespeel en met Hoërskool Piet Potgieter in ‘n vriendskaplike wedstryd afgereken. “Ons eerstespan se opponente was massief groot. Dit het die Triegies gelukkig nie geaffek teer nie en hulle het ongelooflik goed as ‘n span saamgespeel,” sê mnr. Coenie de Lange, die skool se sport-organiseerder en ook eerstespanafrigter. Die halftydtelling was 19-0. Die tweede helfte het Potties teruggeveg en die telling was 19-7. Die laaste 10 minute het die Triegies aan die hardloop gegaan en twee vinnige drieë gedruk om die eindtelling op 29-7 te staan te bring. Die drieë is gedruk deur stut Arlon Bam, vleuel Pieter Strydom, skrumskakel MW Botha, haker Derrick Bouwer en flank Wors Mulaudzi, terwyl losskakel AC Geldenhuys die skopskoen aangehad het. Die vorige Saterdag het die eerstespan vir Ellis ras met 27-12 geklop. De Lange het daarop gewys dat beide hierdie skole onder die groot skole tel, terwyl Triegies ‘n medium skool is. Die skool se wintersportspanne neem nie van jaar aan die Super 16-reeks deel nie, maar kon sentreer hoofsaaklik op vriendskaplike wedstryde. Die waarnemende skoolhoof, mnr. Theo Muller, het verduidelik dat die TUT Super 16 nie hierdie jaar bestaan nie. In die plek daarvan gaan 14

vriendskaplike wedstryde gespeel word. “In die Super 16 was ons beperk tot die A-span, nou speel ons met meer spanne,” het Muller gesê. Buiten Ellisras en Piet Potgieter, sal daar teen Hoërskool Frikkie Meyer, Warmbad, Nylstroom, PHS, Eric Louw, Stanford en ‘n Zimbabwiese toerspan ge speel word. Verder sal Louis Trichardt, Merensky en Frans du Toit ‘n driehoekige kompetisie vorm waar daar vir trofees gespeel sal word. De Lange het gesê dat hulle daarna kyk om volgende jaar in die PUK-reeks te speel. Die ander Triegie rugbyspanne het gemengde sukses teen die Potties behaal. Die tweedes behaal ‘n groot oorwinning van 28-0, die O/16’s verloor 12-15, die O/15’s wen 17-14 en die O/14’s kry 50-3 pak. By die meisieshokkiespanne het die jong spe lers weer die beste gevaar. Die O/14A-span speel 2-2 gelykop en die O/14B’s wen 2-0. Die ander spanne buig die knie voor Potties, waar die eerstes 9-0 verloor, die tweedes 5-0 en beide die O/16’s en die O/15’s met 6-0 verloor. Netbalafrigter me. Marietjie van Zyl sê dat die netbalspanne die gespeel het nie weens oormatige nat bane. Hierdie Saterdag ding al die spanne teen nog ‘n groot skool, Hoërskool Frikkie Meyer, op Thabazimbi mee. Saterdagspel Datum
