Waar is die wetstoepassing?

Die gebrek aan wetstoepassing, veral ten opsigte van die brand van tuinvullis in residensiële areas, het Dinsdag weereens na vore gekom. ‘n Buurman van die Venter-gesin aan die bopunt van Forestryweg in Louis Trichardt is blykbaar bekend daarvoor dat hy sommer sy tuinvullis te enige tyd verbrand, eerder as om dit weg te ry. Na regte is dit ‘n kriminele oortreding, en met rede, want dit was juis weens hierdie nalatigheid dat Willie Venter se lapa byna totaal afgebrand het. Kole van die vullisvuur het Venter se grasdak-lapa aan die brand gesteek. Gelukkig is die brand vinnig gewaar en kon Willie, met die hulp van vriende en die Makhado Brandweer, die smeulende dak blus voordat dit in vlamme kon uitbars. Die dak sal egter in totaliteit vervang moet word weens die skade.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe STROME VAN LEWENDE WATER “Hy wat in My glo, soos die Skrif sê: strome van lewende water sal uit sy binneste vloei” - Johannes 7:8. ie Loofhuttefees was die laaste van die groot feeste. Dit het vir die Jode gewys op die koms van hul Messias. Vir sewe dae het hulle in hutte van takke en blare gewoon, en elke dag ‘n groot optog na die Tempel gehou waar hulle een keer rondom die altaar gestap en offers gebring het. Op die sewende dag het hulle water uit die Siloam fontein geskep, dit met wyn vermeng en op die altaar gegiet, terwyl hulle sewe keer rondom die altaar gestap, die groot “Hossanna” gesing en vir Israel gebid het – asof die oomblik van die koms van hul Messias net daar vervul sou word. Min het hulle op dié dag besef dat hul Messias reeds gekom het, dat Hy op daardie oomblik by hulle staan. Op die agtste dag het hulle dan net byeen gekom, sonder water of gesang, net om te kyk of Hy dan tog nie miskien sou gekom het voordat hulle weer, soos elke vorige keer, leeg en teleurgesteld huiswaarts moes keer nie. Op daardie “waterlose dag” het Jesus in hulle midde gestaan en hard uitgeroep: “As iemand dors het, laat hom na My toe kom en drink! Hy wat in My glo, soos die Skrif sê: strome van lewende water sal uit sy binneste vloei.” Hy van wie Maleagi sê: “… dan sal skielik na sy tempel kom die Here na wie julle soek, naamlik die Engel van die verbond…” (Maleagi 3:1). Jesus se water les jou sieledors, dit maak jou innerlik lewend en rein en strome sal uit jou na ‘n wêreld vloei wat van dors vergaan. Sy een voorwaarde was, en is nog steeds: dors! Jesus praat ook van “iemand”, die enkeling wat dors genoeg sou wees om alles wat hy besit, te gee vir sy dors. Uit Jesus, die “geslaande Rots” (1 Kor.10:4 ), vloei God se strome waarvan jy kan drink om jou dors te les. - 079 516 8303

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 15 FEBRUARIE 2019

Just keep on paying despite mistakes? By Andries van Zyl

“Nothing but glorified stealing!” This is how well-known businessman Mr Robert Rauch from Louis Trichardt describes the property rates he is being charged monthly according to the latest valuation roll for 2018 to 2023 which came into effect on 1 July last year. The almost R10 million tender for the compilation of the 2018/23 valuation roll for Makhado was awarded to Port Elizabeth-based company Geospatial Valuation Technologies. From the outset, questions were asked as to why such a tender had been awarded to an outside company not familiar with the local property market. Many described their “new valuations” as nothing more than a thumb suck, especially since a vast number of properties had been greatly over-valued. This was especially the case with farms, some of which had increased in value by between 200% and 500% in a mere four years. Shortly after the implementation of the new roll, the Zoutpansberger asked Geospatial Valuation Technologies to explain exactly how they had determined the properties’ new values. In response, the company answered that they had physically visited every property, although not required to do so by law. They said they could also make use of analytical comparisons and other systems, such as aerial photographs. This, however, did not explain how they had then arrived at the numerous exorbitant valuations on some properties. The only reply the Zoutpansberger received was from the company’s Mr Glyde Lawrence, who phoned the newspaper on 6 July last year, stating that he was not going to comment on anything as the matter was sub judice (by implication meaning that his company had been taken to court). More than eight months later, the ghost of exorbitant valuations by Geospatial Valuation Technologies continues to haunt the Makhado Municipality. According to Rauch, he is being charged nine times the amount in property rates that what he was being charged according to the 2014/18 valuation roll for his factory, Dinnermates, in the industrial area. He said he had tried to resolve the issue with the municipality on several occasions, but without any success. He even gave Mr Lawrence a call in November last year. “I told him that he must explain to me in writing how they determined my new property rate. He threw the receiver down in my ear,” said Rauch. In the meantime, said Rauch, he continued to pay an estimated amount of what he saw as a realistic valuation of his property according to its previous valuation. Another businessman who is fuming, and rightfully so, is Mr Aslam Akoo. At present, he is being charged more than R50 000 in property rates every month after his 2 855m² erf in Rissik Street was valued at just over R50 200 000 by Lawrence’s company. The property, housing a small car dealership and sporting a small office on site, is situated next to Bergwater Hotel (residents are welcome to drive past and decide for themselves if the property is worth R50 million plus). By December last year, Akoo was R300 000 in arrears in property rates, refusing to pay the amount. He has also taken the matter up with the Makhado Municipality, asking for the matter to be resolved.

field, the municipality could not do a comparison of the previous and current evaluation roll except to wait for an answer from the valuer. Bobodi then threw the proverbial book at Akoo. He quoted Section 50(6) of the relevant Act at length, stating that “the lodging of an objection does not defer liability for payment of rates beyond the date determined for payment.” Adding to this, Bobodi said, Akoo had not objected during the objection period. “The matter has been sent to the municipality’s valuer and it will be included in the supplementary valuation roll no. 3, which will be submitted to the municipality by the valuer before end of March 2019. Upon receipt of [the] supplementary roll, the municipality will then publish a notice calling for inspection and submission of objection[s], and Mr Aslam Akoo should make use of the opportunity,” said Bobodi. In a follow-up question, Bobodi was asked if this actually meant that Akoo must keep on paying the R50 000 per month, even though the municipality itself had admitted that it had made a gross error. No reply was received. What it boils down to is that, by law, the municipality can force him to pay the erroneous and ludicrous R50 000 per month until the matter has been resolved. In the meantime, Rauch said that he had another meeting scheduled with the municipality to try and resolve the issue. The Zoutpansberger also asked Geospatial Valuation Technologies to explain how such an error could have occurred and whether they had done anything since 12 December to rectify their mistake. No response was received. The newspaper is aware of many other similar problems experienced by local business owners.

VDM’s finances painting a bleak picture (Contd from P1) The AG was also concerned about the fact that some of the cases of irregular expenditure that constituted a criminal offence were not reported to the South African Police Service, As far as fruitless and wasteful expenditure is concerned, just over R17 million was lost. The AG ascribes this mostly to overpayment of suppliers and penalties on late submission to

SARS. The AG notes that these losses were written off by the VDM without proper efforts to try and recoup the money. Unauthorised expenditure amounted to R640,6 million for the financial year. The fact that allegations of financial misconduct laid against senior managers and officials at the VDM were not always investigated also concerns the AG. “Furthermore, the municipality is a defendant in

various legal claims amounting to over R350 million,” said Smalle. “It is clear that, besides the VBS scandal, the municipality’s financial affairs are in distress, which needs an urgent investigation.” Smalle said the Public Protector was urged to accelerate the investigation into the matter and ensure that not only should the implicated individuals pay back the money, but they should end up in jail.

At this stage, the newspaper needs to point out that neither Rauch nor Akoo had initially objected against their properties’ new valuation during the specified objection period of 19 March 2018 to the 4 May 2018. “We are extremely busy businessmen. Most of the time I am away in Johannesburg. I did not know about the objection period. In this day and age, with all the new technology like e-mail, one would expect the municipality to at least send you a message that your property rates will increase from this to that,” said Rauch. The municipality seems to be using the fact that neither Rauch nor Akoo had objected during the defined period to force them to pay. Technically they can, but how ethical is this? In Akoo’s case, the municipality admitted that the R50 million valuation was a gross mistake. Municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi was asked last week what they planned to do about Akoo’s case. He responded this week by stating that the value of the property had been determined by the municipality’s valuer, designated by the municipality to do so in terms of Section 33 of the Local Government Property Rates Act, 2004 (Act No 6 of 2004). “Mr Aslam Akoo (Ahmal Investment CC) submitted a letter dated 3 December 2018 to the municipality stating dissatisfaction with regard to the valuer as determined and also with the thinking that it might be an evaluating error. The municipality attended the matter by writing a letter dated 12 December 2018 to the municipality valuer requesting re-evaluation of the property as indeed it was an error as the property was over-valued,” said Bobodi. Bobodi then added that, since the matter was with the valuer [Geospatial Valuation Technologies] “who is an expert” in the valuation

Benoude oomblikke, maar Dave bly steeds positief Deur Andries van Zyl

Avonturier Dave van Graan het Maandag ‘n paar benoude oomblikke in die noorde van Namibië beleef toe ‘n groep mans wat sy selfoon gesteel het hom amper met hul motor omgejaag het. Die 62-jarige Dave van Louis Trichardt het op 15 Januarie vanaf Ruacana in Namibië na Victoria Valle begin stap om bewusmaking te kweek rondom renosterstropery en onwettige jag. “My foon het uit my waentjie geval. Ek het dit gou agtergekom en gaan soek. Ek het gesien ‘n voertuig vol jong mans het die foon opgetel en toe ek hulle wou stop, het hul op my afgejaag en ek moes spring vir my lewe,” het Dave gesê, wat die saak by die polisie aangemeld het. Buiten vir hierdie drama is Dave sterk op pad na die halfpadmerk van sy epiese staptog van 1 600 km. Hy het vroeër die week die 700km mylpaal bereik. Die Zoutpansberger het Woensdag weer kontak gemaak met Dave, nadat hy ‘n paar dae van die lug af was weens die diefstal. “Mens beplan daarvoor. Ek het juis my rekenaartablet saamgebring vir so ‘n gebeurtenis,” het Dave gesê. Dave is van die teerpad af en het hom Woensdagoggend op die gruispad al langs die Okavangorivier tussen Rundu en Divundu bevind. “Goeiemôre uit ‘n baie nat Caprivi. Dit reën nou al twee dae. Ek kry nie my klere droog nie,” het Dave per WhatsApp laat weet. Dave was opgewonde dat hy besig is om die halfpadmerk van sy staptog te bereik. Hy was positief en goed uitgerus na ‘n rustige nag langs die pad. “Gelukkig het die reën gestop toe ek opgepak het, maar toe ek begin stap toe begin dit weer reën. Ek is deurnat, maar soos hulle sê: It comes with the territory,” het Dave gesê. In daardie stadium het hy skuiling gevind in ‘n verlate hut langs die pad waar hy kon wag vir die reën om te stop en ‘n

bietjie koffie te drink. “My lyf is 100% en ek het geen skeet of kwaal nie,” het Dave gesê. Iets wat Dave sê hom egter meer en meer begin opval, is die absolute gebrek aan wilde dierelewe langs die Namibiese noordgrens - ‘n area wat eens ‘n wildlewe paradys was. “Mens kan dit nie glo nie. Geen [wilde] diere nie, net bokke, beeste en donkies. Elke veewagter loop met ‘n pyl en boog of ‘n kettie en hier is so baie honde dat niks sal oorleef nie,” het Dave gesê. Volgens Dave is habitatvernietiging die rede vir die gebrek aan wildlewe. “Dit is een lang plaas en village na village al die pad. Bome word afgekap, die slash and burn boerderymetode, en hier is erge oorbevolking,” het Dave gesê. Volgens Dave is die Caprivi pragtig waar daar nie geboer word nie. “Mens verwag wild, maar hier is net voëls,” het Dave gesê. Dit het hom opnuut laat fokus op sy missie om bewusmaking te kweek rondom die bewaring van Suider-Afrika se wildlewe. Wat die res van die week betref, wil Dave graag nog hierdie week sy halfpadmerk bereik. Sy plan was om Woensdagaand sowat 35 km vanaf Divundu te oornag en die dorp teen Vrydag te bereik. Op ‘n vraag of hy darem bietjie gaan feesvier as hy die halfpadmerk bereik, was sy antwoord: “Ek gaan verseker bietjie celebrate en beplan om by Ngepi Kamp oor te staan vir die naweek.” Inwoners wat Dave se avontuur “lewendig” wil volg, kan klik op sy tracking link by https:// raceview.live/race/racemap/dave-van-graan-kunene/. Alternatiewelik kan hulle hom op sy Facebook-blad, Dave van Graan, volg. Persone is ook welkom om sy bewusmakingsveldtog finansieel te ondersteun. Vir meer inligting hieroor kan Dave se vrou, Jacqui, geskakel word by tel. 082 829 5421. Dave het verskoning gevra vir die gebrek aan nuwe foto’s op sy Facebook-blad. Al sy foto’s was So nou en dan het mens darem bietjie hulp nodig langs die pad. Dave was baie bly vir die “lift” op sy foon wat gesteel is. wat hy agter op ‘n trekker kon kry deur ‘n kort seksie dik sand op pad na Rundu. Foto verskaf.

kan dan mense verwar. ‘n Maklike manier om hierdie slang uit te ken, is die feit dat hy sy kop sal plat trek sodat die kop soos die van ‘n adder sou lyk. Die slang het ook altyd ‘n donker kraag op die agterkant van die kop en die kleintjies het ook spikkels. Die kleur van die lyf is gewoonlik donkertot ligbruin met ‘n vuilwit pens,” het Van Rooyen. Van Rooyen het weereens gesê dat die Rooilip geen gevaar vir die mens inhou nie en met rus gelaat moet word wanneer dit aangetref word. “Skakel eerder ‘n slangvanger om die slang te verwyder,” het Van Rooyen gesê. In dié verband kan inwoners Frikkie Venter skakel by tel. 082 058 7601. Vir meer inligting oor hierdie slang en ander slange kan Van Rooyen geskakel word by tel. 081 217 9213.

Een slang wat baie algemeen in die streek voorkom en dikwels in tuine en huise aangetref word, is die alombekende Rooilipslang (Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia). In hierdie week se slangkolom bekyk ons hierdie slang van nader. Alhoewel die Rooilip matig giftig is, het die gif van hierdie slang GEEN uitwerking op die mens nie. Die slang is ook ‘n agtertand-slang, wat beteken dat sy giftande diep in die bek sit, onder of agter die oog. “Baie mense beweer dat hulle kwaai kopseer kry nadat hulle deur hierdie slang gepik is. Daar is egter geen waarheid daaraan nie. Die kopseer is hoogs waarskynlik eerder van skrik, maar nie van die gif nie,” het slangkenner Jan “Slang” van Rooyen gesê. Volgens Van Rooyen is hierdie slange aktief in die aande waar hulle jag maak op paddas. “Die padda word gebyt en die slang ‘loop’ dan sy giftande oor die prooi om die gif in te kry. Omdat die slang ‘n agtertand slang is, is die giftande nie hol soos in ander slange nie maar gegroef, soos dié van die Boomslang. Dus word die gif nie ingespuit nie, maar in gekou,” het Van Rooyen gesê. Die Rooilip groei tot ongeveer 70 cm, maar kan tot ‘n meter lank word. “Ten spyte van hierdie slang se naam, het hulle nie altyd ‘n gekleurde bolip nie en Die Rooilipslang. Foto’s verskaf.

the land eastwards, including Mashonaland. The idea was to find a route to the coast, but the scouting party had to return to the south of the Vaal River where Potgieter had to deal with attacks from, among others, the Matabele tribe. In around 1838, the Potgieter group trekked further north and the town of Potchefstroom was established. During that period, the Potgieter family stayed on the farm Buffelshoek at the foot of the Magaliesberg mountain range. One history source says that, in 1840, Potgieter led a small delegation that travelled to the then Lourenco Marques to explore trade agreements with the Portuguese. Not many details of this trip, if it happened at all, could be found. Potgieter definitely visited Delagoa Bay in 1844. At that stage, he was married to Catharina Elizabeth Jacobs (born Erasmus).

The travelled further north, crossing was brewing between the chance of that happening before the Limpopo and exploring self-proclaimed Boer Republic of Transvaal and the British, and the decision was made to stay north of the 25 degree “line”. Potgieter established the new Boer Republic of Transvaal in April 1944, with him as self-proclaimed leader. In the next few years, Potgieter moved between Potchefstroom and Andries Ohrigstad, the town he established with the help of a Dutch merchant, Gregorius Ohrig. This was supposed to be the focal point of trade to the east but, unfortunately, did not survive for very long. An outbreak of malaria caused the residents to abandon their homes and resettle in the nearby Lydenburg in around 1848. Some sources refer to delegaAn early daguerreotype.

and 1851, but no mention is made of Potgieter’s accompanying the groups. These visits could only take place during the winter months, as malaria and tsetse flies along the route made it too dangerous to travel during rainy seasons. At the end of 1847, Potgieter is recorded as having travelled to Soutpansberg with a group of 230 people. They settled in the northern parts early in 1848 where a new town, Zoutpansbergdorp, was established. Potgieter himself set up a shop and quickly established a monopoly as far as the trade in weapons and ammunition was concerned.

The final product would also not have resembled a carte-de-visite so closely.

Potgieter, still considered to be the commandant-general, tried to attend to governance matters, but he complained about his deteriorating health. On 13 November 1848, he did not attend the big “Volksraad” meeting in Potchefstroom, saying that he was too sick to travel such a long distance. Potgieter did travel to Potchefstroom the next year, when he attended a meeting held on 9 February. On 23 March that year, he attended a meeting in Olifantsrivier but returned to Zoutpansbergdorp after a fall-out with the Dutch schoolmaster, HT Bührmann.

Narrow victory for LTT XI against Mahwelereng Cricket News

A determined fight-back from Dirk van den Berg rescued the Louis Trichardt XI on Sunday and helped them to beat Mahwelereng Vultures by three wickets. Dirk scored an unbeaten 55 from just 40 deliveries. The match was played at Mokopane and Mahwelereng batted first on a pitch that made the batsmen sweat for their runs. Tirivangani Kepekepe (10) and Johannes Ntemi Modimola (19) tried to get the runs flowing, but wickets fell around them. Motlatjo Masoga added 15 runs, but once he was bowled there was little resistance. The final wicket fell in the 25th over with the score on 113. For Louis Trichardt, Jandré Hancke was in superb form. He took 7/21 in his seven overs. Off-spinner Dirk van den Berg cleaned up on the other side, taking 2/20 in seven overs. What seemed like an easy target quickly be-

came a nightmare for Louis Trichardt’s batsmen. Juan-Micheal Phillips seemed to be in a rush to get things done and scored 25 runs from just eight balls, hitting two sixes and three fours in the process. When he was trapped LBW by Matthew Moloto, wickets started tumbling. With the score on 55/7, Dirk van den Berg started running out of partners. FC Phillipson, however, kept a cool head and allowed Dirk to attack the bowling. FC ended not out on 9 from 15 balls. He and Dirk passed the total in the 15th over. Mahwelereng’s most successful bowler was Tirivangani Kepekepe, who took 5/31 in six overs. Sunday’s victory meant that Louis Trichardt is now eight points ahead of their nearest rivals, Giyani, on the Limpopo Impala Promotional League log. Giyani, however, have only played eight games, one fewer than Louis Trichardt. The league is also drawing to a close. On Sunday, LTT will play on their home ground against Stars.

Weer tyd vir besigheidsliga Rolbal

Die Louis Trichardt Rolbalklub bied weer eersdaags hulle gewilde besigheidsliga aan. Dit sal oudergewoonte plaasvind oor drie Donderdae, met die eerste wedstryde wat op 28 Februarie gespeel sal word. Twaalf spanne kan inskryf (voor 25 Februarie) en die finaal sal op 14 Maart beslis word. Die hoofdoel van die liga is om rolbal as sportsoort te bevorder, om fondse vir die klub in te samel en om dit net te geniet. Enige instansie of besigheid kan ‘n span inskryf of borg. ‘n Span kan bestaan uit vier nie-rolbalspelers. Daar sal wel klublede wees om te help.

Wedstryde begin Donderdagaande om 18:00. Aan die einde van die reeks word die wenner bepaal. Dekking sal deur die plaaslike koerant gedoen word en uitslae sal weekliks gepubliseer word. Behalwe vir skoene wat hakloos moet wees, is daar geen ander dragkodes nie. Rolbalballe sal voorsien word. Inskrywing per span beloop R500 en daarna R20 per speler per wedstryd. Daar sal ook elke Donderdag braaipakkies te koop wees. Pap en sous sal voorsien word. Vir meer besonderhede of om ‘n span in te skryf, skakel Kittie de Bruin by tel. 082 856 9047 of Marietjie Barkhuizen by tel. 082 326 7687.

running. Now it is our turn, and as we finish, parkrun Vladivostok, parkrun Russia will go and then parkrun Europe, Poland, Ireland, France, Italy, all over and after we finish, parkrun America because they are always last,” said Fordyce jokingly. The concept of parkruns is simple: You turn up every Saturday and run 5km, or if you are a junior, then 2km every Sunday. How fast you go does not matter and neither does what you are wearing. What matters is taking part. The first ever parkrun was in Bushy Park, Teddington in the United Kingdom, when 13 intrepid parkrunners got together on 2 October 2004. Fordyce introduced the parkrun concept to South Africa in 2011, with the first run taking place at Delta Park

in Johannesburg. A mere 26 athletes took part. “The next weekend there was less, because it was raining,” said Fordyce. However, today the parkrun community is growing all the time – but everything is still based on the simple, basic principles formed from the start: weekly, free, 5km, for everyone, forever. To join the local parkrun family, all walkers, joggers and runners, young and old, with or without a pet or pram, need to register online by visiting https://www. parkrun.co.za/register/form/. This single registration will allow people to take part at every parkrun event across the world and have their times registered. For more information phone Jaco at Tel 084 616 2299.

More than 100 enthusiastic athletes of all ages, shapes and sizes set off for Louis Trichardt’s first ever official parkrun on Saturday, 9 February. Nine-time Comrades Marathon winner Bruce Fordyce and CEO of Parkrun South-Africa was at hand to welcome athletes and thank the volunteers who made the parkrun a reality after almost five years of planning. “Finally, at last! Louis Trichardt! Also, you know, this is a very contagious drug. So, we know that, shortly, it will be Musina, Tshipise … that’s how it goes, it travels ... So, we are thrilled to be part of parkrun,” said Fordyce in his opening remarks. Fordyce added that on Saturday, local runners not only joined the 60 000 plus parkrun athletes at 150 venue across South Africa, but also the hundreds of thousands of athletes across the world. “You are about to embark on the most exciting journey of your life, because parkrun is global. It is all over the world. As you were sleeping last night, parkrun New-Zealand, organised, by the way, by two ex-South Africans, was running.
