Resident’s relief short-lived as police confirm man taken in for questioning on Saturday is not Chauke

Chauke still on the run

By Andries van Zyl

Police confirmed on Wednesday that the man taken in for questioning at Ratombo on Saturday is not the notorious Brighton Chauke.

News of the possible capture of the 24-year-old Chauke spread like wildfire, with residents of the Levubu area breath­ ing a sigh of relief.

“Now I can finally feel at ease when I go home again,” remarked a resident of

the farm Palmietfontein. Her home had also fallen prey to a break-in a couple of weeks ago, believed to be the handiwork of the armed Chauke. Although she was not home, her domestic worker was over­ powered and held captive while the house was ransacked.

But residents’ relief was short-lived with the announcement that the man was not Chauke. For the past two months, Chauke has been the main suspect in a spate of violent housebreakings and

armed robberies in the Levubu area. This includes the violent and almost fatal at­ tack on Messrs Jan Louw (49) and Ferdie Landman (19) on the farm Nooitgedacht on May 28. Many also believe that Chauke was responsible for shooting and killing the 51-year-old Mr Eric Neshunzhi on the farm Goedehoop on July 1, although police are adamant that the shooting is not necessarily connected to Chauke.

Vyf jaar gevangenisstraf vir pedofiel Deur Isabel Venter Die 47-jarige pedofiel wat sy verloofde se kleindogter gemolesteer het, het Maandag sy gevangenisstraf begin uitdien, nadat hy in die Streekhof op Louis Trichardt skuldig bevind en gevonnis is.

Volgens die ma van die dogtertjie, wat by haar ma woon, het sy onraad vermoed toe sy by die huis gekom het en gesien het hoe haar dogtertjie uit hulle slaapkamer kom, gevolg deur haar ma se verloofde.

Sy het dadelik haar dogtertjie gekonfron­ teer, waarop die dogtertjie erken het dat die man haar gemolesteer het. Die ma het dadelik die plaaslike Kinderbesker­ mingseenheid gekontak en gevra om die saak te ondersoek. ‘n Dag later het die dogtertjie se ouma haar verlowing met die man verbreek.

Die man is ‘n week later, op 21 Junie, gearresteer en is sedertdien in polisieaan­

houding.

Tydens vonnisoplegging het die Staat die mening uitgespreek dat die man daad­ werklike rehabilitasie in die tronk moet ontvang, veral gesien in die lig dat dit die Hof se plig is om die gemeenskap se belange op die hart te dra. Die Staat het dit in ag geneem dat die man ‘n pleitoor­ eenkoms geteken het en sy samewerking aan die ondersoekspan gegee het.

Tydens sy uitspraak het landdros Pat Cloete die pleitooreenkoms tussen die man en die Staat aanvaar en die man aangeraai om die verskillende seksuele oortredings te gaan naslaan, sodat hy, wanneer hy gevonnis word, hy nie vir die hof sal kwaad wees nie.

Cloete het genoem dat alhoewel fisiese beserings by die dogtertjie afwesig was, dit wat die man aan haar gedoen het haar sal inhaal namate sy ouer word.

“Sy gaan begin nagmerries kry en afwykings toon ... Hulle word in ‘n ver­

wronge wêreld groot. Hulle liefdeslewe is totaal verwronge. Hulle maak hulle kinders op ‘n verwronge wyse groot as gevolg van daardie tipe dinge en dit is hoekom dit [seksuele oortredings] so ernstig beskou word,” het Cloete gesê.

Die man is tot vyf jaar direkte gevang­ enisstraf gevonnis. Buiten vir die gevang­ enisstraf, het die hof ook beveel dat sy naam in die Nasionale Register vir Seksoortreders opgeneem word. Hy is ook vir die duur van sy vonnis onbevoeg verklaar om ‘n vuurwapen te besit.

Die man het ná sy vonnisoplegging net stil geknik, voordat hy vinnig af geloop het na die hofselle. In ‘n onderhoud met die Zoutpansberger het die ma van die dogtertjie Dinsdag gesê hulle kan nou aanbeweeg met hulle lewens, alhoewel die dogtertjie nog steeds sielkundige behandeling moet ontvang. “Sy praat nie eintlik oor dit wat met haar gebeur het nie,” het die ma gesê. ®

Man se dood laat vrae oor veiligheid van treinkruising

Die treinkruising in Groblerstraat, wat baie inwoners meen is onveilig weens ‘n gebrek aan veiligheidsmaatreëls.

Deur Isabel Venter

Jong Gareth beswyk aan beserings ná treinbotsing Hy was ‘n baie liefdevolle mens, met baie vrien­ de en het altyd tyd gehad om drukkies uit te deel.

Dit is hoe familie en vriende die 19-jarige Ga­ reth Brooker (19) onthou wat verlede Vrydag aan sy beserings in die Unitas Hospitaal in Centurion beswyk het.

Wyle Gareth Brooker (19). Foto verskaf.

Die nuus van sy dood het as groot skok gekom, aangesien baie die hoop gekoester het dat hy sou herstel.

Gareth is op Saterdag, 2 Junie, ernstig beseer toe hy met sy motor­ fiets teen ‘n stilstaande trein by die treinkruising in Groblerstraat op Louis Trichardt gebots het. Hy was op pad huis toe. ‘n Ooggetuie en vriend van Gareth, Edwin Bridge, het verlede Donderdag die tragiese gebeure by die kruising geskets.

Hy was ook op pad huis toe en het by dieselfde kruising ongeveer tien minute gewag vir die trein om aan te skuif, voordat by besluit het om om te draai. Bridge het skaars omgedraai, toe Gareth by hom verby is en in die trein vasgejaag het.

“Daar was nie ‘n lig aan wat wys dat daar ‘n trein oor die pad staan nie en ook nie enige beampte wat waar­ sku dat die trein oor die pad beweeg nie,” het Bridge gesê.

Gareth is eers by die Zoutpans­ berg Privaathospitaal gestabiliseer, voordat hy na die MediClinic in Polo­ kwane oorgeplaas is. Vandaar is hy per helikopter na die Unitas Hospitaal afgevlieg, waar hy teen Woensdag (6de) reeds verskeie operasies onder­ gaan het om van die skade aan sy arms en bene te herstel.

Hy is onder sterk verdowing gehou

en, alhoewel sy toestand as kritiek beskryf is, was dokters hoopvol dat hy sou herstel.

Donderdag (7de) het Gareth se toestand egter skielik begin agte­ ruitgaan, nadat die drukking op sy brein begin toeneem het. Dokters het toe besluit om hom van die ver­ dowingsmiddels af te haal, sodat sy breinfunksies getoets kon word. Dit was egter gou duidelik dat die aard van Gareth se kopbeserings veel erger was as wat aanvanklik vermoed is, en laat Vrydag­aand is hy oorlede.

“Hy was ‘n verskriklike liefdevolle kind … ons gaan hom baie mis,” het Gareth se ma, Leonie, Maandag gesê.

Gareth het elf jaar gelede saam met sy ma na Louis Trichardt ver­ huis. Hulle bly sedertdien op LMB Makhado, waar Leonie werk. Ten tye van sy ongeluk was Gareth ‘n student by die Bravo Christian School op Louis Trichardt en het vakansies

by Laeveld Stene gewerk. Vrydagen Saterdagaande het hy ook by Rumours uitgehelp as kroegman. ‘n Roudiens vir wyle Gareth sal Vrydag vanuit die NG Kerke Moe­ dergemeente op Louis Trichardt gehou word. Die diens sal deur ds. Jan Pretorius waargeneem word.

Die familie het hul dank uitgespre­ ek teenoor almal wat hulle ondersteun het sedert die ongeluk.

Padgebruikers se veiligheid by treinkruisings het weer onder die loep gekom ná die dood van die 19-jarige Gareth Brooker verlede Vrydag.

Brooker het aan sy beserings beswyk bykans ‘n week nadat hy laatnag met ‘n stilstaande trein by die treinkruising in Groblerstraat op Louis Trichardt gebots het. Sy dood het gemengde reaksie uit die gemeen­ skap ontlok. Talle meen dié betrokke kruising is onveilig en voldoen nie aan enige veiligheidstandaarde nie.

Ander meen weer dat as iemand die verkeersreëls by treinkruisings na­ kom, ongelukke nie sal plaasvind nie.

“Ek glo die spoorweg was ver­ keerd in die ongeluk, want die trein was heeltemal onsigbaar,” was mnr.

Edwin Bridge se kommentaar. Hy was ‘n vriend van Brooker en oogge­ tuie tydens die ongeluk. Bridge en ‘n vriendin was op pad huistoe en het sowat 10 minute by die kruising in Groblerstraat gewag vir die trein om aan te skuif. Toe hulle besluit om om te draai, het hulle Brooker sien aankom op sy motorfiets.

“Ek het nog vir my meisie gesê die man gaan nie die trein sien nie, want dit is pikdonker,” het Bridge gesê. Volgens Bridge was daar nie beamptes wat motoriste gewaarsku het dat die trein besig was om te rangeer nie. Die kruising was ook nie verlig nie. Vriende en familie het met Bridge saamgestem en meen die trein se vragwaens moes beskik het oor glimstroke, sodat dit vir aankomende voertuie sigbaar kan wees.

Dit was verlede Vrydag duidelik dat die spreiligte op die kruising nie werk nie.

Een se gloeilamp was geblaas, ter­ wyl die ander lig glad nie ‘n gloeilamp ingehad het nie.

Met dié inligting is Transnet genad­ er vir kommentaar. Hulle antwoord het soos ‘n telegram gelees en vrae oor die swak-verligte kruising is geïgnoreer.

Nasionale woordvoerder vir Trans­ net Me. Sandile Simelane het gesê dat hulle nie verantwoordelikheid aan­ vaar vir ongelukke by treinkruisings wat moontlik veroorsaak word deur motoriste se nalatigheid nie.

Transnet is ook gevra of hulle bewus is dat die Spoorwegveiligheid Reguleerder (SVR) sowat twee weke gelede dié betrokke kruising besoek het en dat hulle bevind het die kruis­

ing skiet tekort “in talle veiligheids­ regulasies”. Simelane het egter voet by stuk gehou dat die kruising met die nodige waarskuwingstekens gemerk is.

“As die motorfietsryer by die krui­ sing gestop het, sou hy nie met die trein gebots het nie,” het Simelane gesê. Dit het die vraag laat ont­ staan of padtekens dan voldoende waarskuwing is en aan watter ander “veiligheidregulasies” ‘n treinkruis­ ing moet voldoen?

Die SVR se bestuurder van veiligheidstandaarde, mnr. Nick de Jager, het meer duidelikheid gegee.

Volgens hom is die Padverkeerwet van 1996 (Wet 93 van 1996) skraps as dit kom by reëls en regulasies vir treinkruisings. Tans stipuleer die wet dat ‘n trein slegs oor ‘n publieke pad mag beweeg indien motoriste vooraf gewaarsku is van die trein se intensie om oor die pad te ry. Die wet skryf ook voor dat ‘n trein die verkeer net mag versper in geval waar daar ‘n skriftelik opdrag is, om goedere of persone op of af te laai en om rang­ eerwerk te doen.

Tans word daar ‘n kollektiewe en samevattende dokument saamgestel ten opsigte van ondermeer veiligheid by treinkruisings.

Hierdie dokument staan bekend as die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Standaard vir Treinkruisings (SANS 3000-2-2-1). Dié dokument sal eg­ ter eers in middel Oktober vanjaar beskikbaar wees.

De Jager het verduidelik dat die dokument, onder andere, meer lig sal werp op spoorwegoperateurs se verantwoordelikhede as dit kom by veiligheid by kruisings, waarsku­ wingstekens en sigbaarheid. Tans, sê hy, is daar baie verwarring oor wie presies verantwoordelik is vir die veiligheid by treinkruisings, omdat kruisings oor munisipale en nasionale paaie loop.

De Jager het voorts verduidelik dat die Verkeerswet nie treine verplig om oor glimstrepe te beskik nie, maar wel vragmotors, minibusse en karavane.

Hy het ook genoem dat die Kaap en Wes-Kaap tans die enigste provinsies is wat bemande kruisings het.

De Jager kon nie die totale omvang van die SANS-dokumente uiteensit nie. Hy het egter genoem dat, by voltooiing en publikasie daarvan, alle spoorwegoperateurs verplig sal word om die regulasies na te kom.

of money last Thursday. The pay point was the only one in the Kutama area.

This has left members of the com­ munity stunned and stranded, as they are now forced to travel to Louis Trichardt to purchase electricity. According to the police, more than three suspects broke into the office, damaged the safe and stole more than R22 000.

Const Godfrey Mahuwa of the Tshil­ wavhusiku police confirmed the incident.

He said that it happened at about 01:00.

“The suspects first tied up a secu­ rity guard with a rope before taking the money,” said Mahuwa.

“It appeared that the suspects had used a gas welding machine to cut open the safe before taking the money. They cut it into pieces.”

Mahuwa said a case of business robbery had been opened with the police.

“We are continuing with our investi­

police with relevant information, so that the culprits can be brought to book,” Ma­ huwa appealed. He added that the suspects are still at large.

Several cases of this nature had been reported in the area in the past. No arrest had been made at the time of our going to press.

The security guard who was on duty when the incident happened, Ms Tshifu­ lao Ligaraba of Diana Mike Enterprise Security, said she was in one of the rooms, “when I heard a noise outside. At first I thought it was cats, but then I decided to go outside to see what was happening, because the noise was becoming louder. It sounded like people’s footsteps, and when I opened the door, there were three men waiting outside,” she added.

“They ordered me to go back inside at gunpoint. They then tied me up with a rope. One man watched me the whole

The headman for Madodonga Village, Vhamusanda Vho-Progress Kutama, urged members of the community to develop a sense of ownership for every project that is happening in the area. He said that the government was trying by all means to take services to the people, but people did not appreciate this.

Makhado Municipality’s spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, said that the munici­ pality was very disappointed that at the same time that they were trying to take services to the people, there were the people who continued to vandalize mu­ nicipal property.

“We are trying by all means for services to reach the people we serve. People must appreciate what we are doing for our com­ munities,” said Bobodi.

Zuma promises new hospital for Siloam The community of Nzhelele is to get a new state-of-the-art hospital.

This was the promise made

by Pres Jacob Zuma during his visit to the Siloam Hospital last Thursday.

Zuma visited the hospital as part of his performance, moni­ toring and evaluation exercise.

He said he wanted to assess the state of health facilities in various government health institutions across the province. "We wanted to check if the health department in Limpopo is really working," said president Zuma.

"We do not believe in written reports, but to see for ourselves

and talk to the community," he added He said the government had put aside R250million for the Si­ loam project. Siloam Hospital is a district hospital with 350 beds, of which only 220 are usable.

The hospital is faced with the challenge of a shortage of health professionals, which includes nurses and doctors. This causes patients to wait in long queues.

Mr Rudzani Ludere, a member of the hospital board at Siloam, said that if government could build expensive stadiums and roads for the World Cup, it meant that it could also afford to built decent hospitals for the poor.

Zuma later met with members of the community at Mphephu Secondary School.

He insisted that members of the community raise their con­ cerns with regard to the hospital services. "I want to hear it from you, because you are the ones who use Siloam Hospital," he demanded.

Members of the community demanded that all managers be fired with immediate effect at the hospital. One of the commu­ nity members, Ms Hulisani Ne­ ngwekhulu, criticised the quality Pres Jacob Zuma interacts with one of the patients during his visit to Siloam Hospital last Thursday.

With him is the Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motswaledi (left). of the service at the hospital.

Soutpansberg history buffs meet up in the UK

Charles Leach (left) and Keith Vaughan. Keith lives an hour´s drive from Dublin and has done much of his research at the world famous Trinity College, just up the road from where the photograph was taken.

He insisted on proving to the readers that the photo was indeed taken in Ireland, but due to spending too much time at a local pub, shadows had already fallen across the statue of Molly Malone, which should have been more visible in the background.

Joe West (left) and Charles Leach. Joe has worked in his spare time as a volunteer at Wimbledon for several years and has done much of his research at the British National Archives, where the photograph was taken, not far from centre court. Joe offered the Leach family tickets to Wimbledon, but, sadly for them, time did not permit. Both photos were taken by Andrew Leach, who displayed unusual patience whilst accompanying his father.

On a recent trip to the United Kingdom, Charles and Bev Leach of Louis Trichardt had the pleasure of personally meeting Joe West and Keith Vaughan. Charles has been corresponding with these two men for several years whilst researching the history of the Bushveld Carbineers and Lt. ‘Breaker’ Morant.

As a younger man, Keith Vaughan spent some years in South Africa and can still say “Totsiens!” with an acceptable Afrikaans accent, “but unfor­ tunately still believes that elephants get drunk on marulas. He is obviously of Irish origin,” said Charles.

Keith became interested in the Bushveldt Car­ bineers because of the involvement of a forefather who was an official in the BVC court martial held in Pietersburg during the Anglo Boer War. His research, coupled with documents and photographs in his possession, present an astonishing theory concerning the execution (or not) of Lt ‘Breaker’ Morant in South Africa, which, if tested and verified, will open a new and dramatically radical chapter of the entire story. Keith has several friends in South Africa, including Prof Malie Smuts, a granddaughter of the Rev Heese who was shot, ostensibly by the Bushveldt Carbineers.

“We sincerely hope to see Keith in the Soutpans­ berg someday,” said Charles.

Joe West lives in London and has been research­ ing for many years, and in phenominal detail, the history of the Bushveld Carbineers, with emphasis on Lt Harry ‘Breaker’ Morant. He is regarded as one of the foremost experts on this topic and has become well-known to many researchers and his­ tory writers over the world.

Joe was involved in the writings of two wellknown Australian authors, namely Bill Woolmore (The Bushveldt Carbineers and Pietersburg Light Horse) who spent some days with the Leach family some six years ago, and also of Nick Bleszinski (Shoot straight, you Bastards!) who accompanied Commander James Unkles and the Australian Channel 9 TV team to the Soutpansberg in May 2010.

Charles was given Joe’s e-mail address several years ago by Andrew Bermingham from Bermuda. Charles and Joe have corresponded since then and Joe has provided Charles with a lot of vital information over the years.

Joe and his wife plan to visit the Soutpansberg later this year, with the specific intention of doing the Zoutpansberg Skirmishes Route and becoming fully aquainted with the actual sites of the atrocities com­ mitted by the men of the Bushveld Carbineers. “The Soutpansberg will be honoured by history researchers of such high standing visiting and tour­ ing the Soutpansberg and Lowveld,”

said Charles.

The question posed to Charles over the last six years of “When will your book be available?” can at last be addressed. The final manuscript has been presented for history content moderation and has been commended for its detail and accuracy. Additional copies were presented to individuals for initial editing and have received very positive comment.

“Now that the actual writing has been completed, the next step before finally going to press is the layout, design and the insertion of the many illustrations and photographs,” said Charles.

The girls from Ladies Circle 4 in Louis Trichardt donated toys and clothing to the Full Gospel Church in Louis Trichardt last week for distribution amongst the less fortunate. The donation was received

by Ms Melanie Denner. Pictured with her are Ladies Circle members (front, from left) Ria van Zyl (vice-chair) and Sonel Prinsloo (national chair). At the back are Belinda Fourie, Hettie Botha (chair), Taryn Lee Annandale and Melanie.

Connie’s new salon is state of the art The development of a new business centre in 124 Krogh Street by Connie de Sousa was followed with interest, especially by hair and beauty clients. The great day arrived on July 7 when the new stateof-the-art salon celebrated its opening.

The salon boasts an eyecatching reception area with a dazzling silver chandelier, a favourite item with everyone.

The spacious salon covers about 450m2. Clients can occupy 20 workstations and enjoy the high-tech interior,

architectural design and excel­ lent sound. Luxurious reclin­ ers adorn the hair treatment section.

Modern colours, grey and black, are brightened with bright red and exquisite largerthan-life posters of models.

True to her ways, Connie made use of local models for her posters and pamphlets.

That is perhaps one of the reasons for the high level of excitement with the opening - the new development was an example of teamwork and involvement by many local

people.

“It was wonderful to have everybody’s input,” said Con­ nie. On opening day, the salon was fully booked, with Adri Venter and Augusta Otto hav­ ing their hands full at the recep­ tion. Adri shows off the large new men’s salon.

“We are doing the men sepa­ rately, so that they can freely enjoy their own conversation.

They will be served by all the same hairdressers,” said Adri.

The qualified hairdressers are Connie, Nolean Dercksen, Sandy McCabe and MariLouise Eloff. Taki Mabobo is the nearly qualified apprentice, while Christine, Regina and Constance are the three assis­ tants and Violet is responsible for the cleaning.

The new salon is situated at the back of the previous one, which is being demolished.

The existing Driekie’s Crafts and Gifts forms part of the new business centre, which cur­ rently houses Salon Finnesse and C-Jays Hair Salon, and will eventually house a couple of other businesses.

“It was wonderful to have everybody’s input,” said Connie The salon can be contacted on the opening day of the new C-Jay’s Hair Salon. on 015 516 1207.

Salon Finesse besig om vlerke te sprei “Salon Finesse het sy vlerke ge­s prei,” sê eienaar Elsje Lam­bert. Twee nuwe terapeu­ te word verwelkom en die salon het op 7 Julie sy intrek in vier lokale in die nuwe sentrum van C-Jays in Kroghstraat 124 geneem.

Leana Naudé en Michelle van der Merwe is die twee nuwe skoonheidsteratpeute wat hul voeg by Elsje en Marisa Gerber, naeltegnikus en verskaffer van naelprodukte.

Leana is al 24 jaar in die skoon­heidsbedryf en het voor­ heen ‘n groot salon in Polokwa­ ne bedryf. “Ek gebruik die op­ windende nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse velsorgproduk, Lamelle, wat ‘n resultaat-geöriënteerde produk is.

Kan mens goedkoper elders regkom?

Is Louis Trichardt ‘n duurder plek om wortel te skiet en huis te koop as Tzaneen? Sou jy dalk eerder jou hand aan die ploeg wou slaan om jou eie stukkie Afrikagrond te bewerk en nou wonder hoe vergelyk plaaspryse in die provinsie?

As deel van LiN Media se nuwe inisiatief om op gereelde basis prysvergelykings ten opsigte van dienste en goedere tussen Louis Trichardt, Tzaneen, Mokopane, Lephalale, Bela-Bela, Thabazimbi en Hoedspruit te doen, is daar besluit om weg te spring met ‘n prysvergelyking ten opsigte van huis- en plaaspryse. Dié dorpe word almal bedien deur publikasies soos die Zoutpansberger en Limpopo Mirror binne die LiN Media groep. ‘n Vergelyking is ge­ doen ten opsigte van gemiddelde verkoop­ pryse, alhoewel daar in ag geneem moet word dat faktore soos ligging en boukwaliteit prys beïnvloed. So sal ‘n drie slaapkamer huis met ‘n uitsig oor die Tzaneen­ dam jou heelwat meer uit die sak jaag as ‘n drie slaapkamer huis met ‘n uitsig oor die plaaslike spoorwegstasie of sjebien.

Volgens Gwen Loots van Realty 1 op Louis Trichardt verkoop een-slaapkamer woonstelle vir ‘n gemiddeld van R520 000 (ligging in ag geneem).

Dit vergelyk goed met Lephalale se R500 000 en hoër, aldus Marie Kruger van PropRite. Volgens Annelie Botha van Aïda op Bela-Bela kan jy hier wegkom vir ‘n R100 000 goedkoper (R400 000) en op Mokopane reken Johan Spies van Sue Eien­ domme die gemiddelde prys is sowat R320 000.

Op Tzaneen het een agentskap, Pam Golding, die gemiddelde prys gelys as R215 000, alhoewel Acutts aangedui het hul laaste een-slaapkamer woonstel het verkoop vir R420 000; bygesê, dit was in ‘n luukse woonbuurt. Deur die bank blyk daar egter ‘n tekort te wees aan een-slaapkamer woonstelle op dorpe.

Die gemiddelde pryse van twee-slaapkamer woonstelle/huise wissel tussen R500 000 en R650 000, met gemiddelde pryse van R500 000 (Mokopane), R580 000 (Louis Trichardt), R620 000 (Lephalale), R650 000 (Bela-Bela) en R500 000 tot R680 000 op Tzaneen.

Die prys van drie-slaapkamer huise is op hulle beurt almal in die omgewing van R800 000, met Mokopane waar dit verkoop vir ‘n gemiddeld van R780 000, Tzaneen (R700 000 tot R800 000), Louis Trichardt (R850 000), Lephalale (R850 000) en Bela-Bela (R900 000).

In die luukse mark sukkel huispryse in elke dorp blykbaar om die R2 miljoen kerf te breek. Volgens dr. Suwil Rudolph, ‘n professionele waardeerder van Louis Trichardt, speel vraag en aanbod hier ‘n groot rol. Hy verduidelik dat alhoewel ‘n huis dalk R5 miljoen werd kan wees, kopers nie noodwendig bereid sal wees om dit te betaal nie.

Op Louis Trichardt, sê Loots, verkoop wonings in luukse buurte vir ‘n gemiddeld van R2 miljoen.

Op Tzaneen wissel pryse vir luukse wonings tussen R1 miljoen en R1,5 miljoen en op Bela-Bela in die omgewing van R1,6 miljoen. R1,3 miljoen blyk die gemiddelde prys te wees wat kopers bereid is om te betaal op Mokopane en Lephalale.

Plaaspryse is ietwat meer gekompliseerd as dit kom by prysbepaling. Hier speel ligging alleen

nie so ‘n groot rol nie, maar ook in welke mate die plaasgrond ontwikkeld is, estetiese waarde het en natuurlik of water beskikbaar is. Wat “ontwikkeld” betref, het dr. Rudolph gesê daar is verskillende klasse van ontwikkeling en daarom is dit moeilik om ‘n deur-die-bank gemiddelde prys per hektaar te gee. Sy pryse is derhalwe bereken op “onont­ wikkelde” landbougrond.

Volgens hom beloop die gemiddelde prys per hektaar vir beesweiding in die Soutpansberg tussen R3 000 en R4 000. Wildomheinde grond verkoop vir ‘n gemiddeld van tussen R4 000 en R6 000, ter­ wyl besproeiingsgrond wissel tussen R40 000 en R60 000 per hektaar, afhangend van ligging en die beskikbaarheid van water.

Op Mokopane wissel plaaspryse ook, afhan­ gende van die ligging.

Roedtan se kant toe, waar daar nie baie water is nie, is die gemid­delde prys so tussen R8 000 en R11 000 onont­wikkeld en R11 000 tot R14 000 per hektaar ontwikkeld.

Aan Sterkrivier se kant, waar baie water en goeie saaigrond is, beloop die prys sowat R19 000 per hektaar ontwikkeld.

Lephalale se grond is hoofsaaklik wild- en beesplase. Daar is onontwikkelde grond, maar dit is beesgrond wat verkoop tussen R5 000 en R6 000. Wildplase wat omhein is met goeie wild en herbergfasiliteite verkoop tussen R8 000 en R10 000 per hektaar. Kleiner plase naby aan dorpe, soos elders in die provinsie, verkoop ook vir duur­ der as groter plase in die middel van nêrens.

Volgens Nico Kruger van PropRite op Lepha­ lale speel herberg op wildplase ‘n groot rol. Hy verduidelik dat twee wildplase, ewe groot met min of weer ewe veel wild en waterpunte, se pryse we­ senlik kan verskil as een net ‘n ou plaashuis op het en die ander een ‘n luukse lodge met borrelbaddens, tennisbane en ‘n jagkamp.

Een agent op Mokopane, wat nie sy nek te veel wou uitsteek nie, het onder meer opgemerk dat bankwaardasies in hierdie opsig nogal tot frustrasie kan lei, aangesien banke glo net die grond waardeer en nie die verbeterings.

In die Thabazimbi-omgewing, sê Kruger, is daar langs die Krokodilrivier besproeiingsplase wat vir tot R120 000 per hektaar verkoop, maar dan is dit slegs vir die gedeelte onder besproeiing en nie vir die res van die plaas nie, wat dan gemiddeld vir R15 000 per hektaar verkoop. Nog ‘n faktor wat kopers in ag moet neem, is agentekommis­ sie. Dit is egter duidelik dat die 8% wat agente graag sal wil ontvang, selde materialiseer. Vol­ gens terugvoer wat van agente ontvang is blyk 5% tot 7,5% meer re­ alisties te wees. Meeste agente is ook bereid om oor die agentekommis­ sie te onderhandel.

DEA gives CoAL go-ahead for Vele mine

CoAL’s Vele mine near the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site. Photo supplied

Within six to nine months, the controversial Coal of Africa mining saga near the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site might be a thing of the past. This follows the Australian mining company’s announcement last Wednesday that they had received the go-ahead for their Vele mine from the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA).

According to a CoAL press release, the DEA, with effect from July 5, authorized CoAL’s ap­ plication for rectification in terms of section 24G of the South African National Environmental Man­ agement Act (NEMA). This authorization follows only a month after CoAL had to pay the DEA R9,25 million in administration fines as a precondition to enable the DEA to consider the rectification appli­ cation for the Vele proj­ ect. CoAL had to cease certain activities at the mine, after the Green Scorpions issued them a compliance notice on August 5 last year with the site reported to be 95% complete already.

As part of the DEA’s authorization, there are “specific conditions” imposed on CoAL “due to the uniqueness of the area”. CoAL was, how­ ever, mute about these conditions.

CoAL states that the Vele-project is expected to be completed within six to nine months from the restart date. When completed, the project is expected to produce an initial profile of one million tonnes of coal per annum.

Chief executive of­

ficer for CoAL John Wallington welcomed the DEA’s decision and said the new developments were a significant step towards the re-opening of the mine.

“We are very aware of our broader obligation to the responsible development of our assets, and we are acutely aware of the sensitivity of the area and the significant responsibilities the approval brings,” said Wallington. “We are committed to engaging continually with all key stakeholders as development resumes and operations commence,” he added.

The decision was, however, not met with as much enthusiasm by the Save Mapungubwe Coali­ tion. Their main objection is that, to date, none of the affected parties has received any notification of the decision by either the DEA or CoAL. Shortly after CoAL’s announcement, the coalition said they considered the decision by the DEA wholly inappropriate “in light of CoAL’s considerable resources and status as a publicly listed company who ought to be fully aware of its obligations under law.”

“It is not clear why the department is allowing CoAL to legitimise their illegal activities,” said coalition spokesperson Hayley Komen.

The coalition has subsequently taken a decision to take “all appropriate legal measures” to chal­ lenge the DEA’s decision. Komen said that the coalition had already started interdict proceedings to stop CoAL from carrying on any mining or related operations on the Vele site.

Particularly, states the coalition, because the DEA’s authorisation only applies to some of the illegal activities undertaken by CoAL on the min­ ing site. According to them, CoAL has a second outstanding rectification application, which is currently open for public comment until July 29.

Without the necessary authorisation, these activi­ ties may not commence. “The coalition will submit comprehensive objections to the second rectifica­ tion application,” said Komen. The coalition will also be lodging an appeal against the granting of the integrated water use licence.

Grondsake

Agri SA stig platform vir land se swart kommersiële boere “Agri SA het onlangs ‘n platform vir swart kommersiële boere gestig om ook hulle siening oor die pro­ blematiek met grondhervorming aan boord te kan neem”, het Agri SA adjunk-president Theo de Jager tydens ‘n grondhervormingslypskool voorverlede week gesê.

Verskeie grondhervormingspro­ gramme is bespreek tydens die slyp­ skool tussen die Minister van Lande­ like Ontwikkeling en Grondhervor­ ming, minister Gugili Nkwinti, en

Agri SA, sy affiliasies sowel as TLU SA en die Landboubesigheidskamer.

Minister Nkwinti het aangedui dat hierdie werkswinkel slegs die eerste stap in die interaksie met kom­ mersiële landbouers was en het die organisasies teenwoordig genooi om persone te nomineer vir ‘n taakspan wat behulpsaam sal wees met die verdere ontwikkeling van wetgewing oor die voorgestelde instellings.

Die instellings sluit in ‘n Grond­ bestuurskommissie, ‘n Grondregte­ raad en ‘n Waardeer­ der-generaal. De Jager het gesê dat Agri SA groot waarde­ring het vir die geleent­heid wat die INVOER • GROOTHANDEL • VERSPREIDING Minister geskep het om Voorraadhouers van: openlik oor sensitiewe GRATIS kwessies te raadpleeg, TOETS ­ DELTEC, PROBE, TAL EN INS AN POWEROAD, AND dat die organisasie die V LASIE geleent­heid sal gebruik !

• KANSA WIL DIENSTE UITBREI Kansa Polokwane wil graag hul dienste

uitbrei na Louis Trichardt, Musina, Tzaneen, Phalaborwa en Hoedspruit, maar het die hulp en ondersteuning van hierdie gemeenskappe nodig.

Die Kanker Vereniging van Suid-Afrika (KANSA) is ‘n diensorganisasie wat betrokke is by die finansiering van kankernavorsing en streef na die bevordering van ‘n gesonde leefstyl en die voorkoming en vroeë bespeuring van kankersimptome. Hulle verleen hulp en verskaf bystand aan kankerpasiënte en ook aan hulle naasbe­staandes.

Die organisasie is werksaam in al nege provin­ sies van Suid-Afrika. In Limpopo is die enigste Kansakantoor geleë in Polokwane. Kanker is egter nie beperk tot ‘n sekere streek of dorp nie, en die voorkoms van kanker in hierdie gebied is kommerwekkend. Derhalwe wil hulle hul dienste uitbrei.

Persone wat graag betrokke wil raak word uit­ genooi om op 16 Julie die eerste opleidingsessie vanaf 13:00 by die Soutpansberg Dorpswag se kantore op Louis Trichardt by te woon.

10 July 15, 2011 Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

Kruis se lig dien weer as baken vir dorp Baie mense onthou nog die historiese oom­blik toe die groot kruis buite Louis Trichardt aangeskakel is. Feesgangers het op 5 Oktober 2002 op die rugbyveld van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt vergader en na afloop van lofprysing en die boodskap van die kruis, het dié Christusfees sy hoogtepunt bereik toe die kruis vir die eerste keer verlig is.

Die afgelope klompie maande was die kruis egter vir lang tye donker. Mense het selfs die koerant geskakel om te hoor wat aangaan met die kruis.

Die goeie nuus is dat lede van die nuutgestigte Manne van die Woord op Saterdag, 2 Julie, saam na die kruis vertrek het om ondersteuning te verleen vir noodsaaklike onderhoudswerk. Die kruis is Die nuutgestigte Manne van die Woord het onderneem om bystand te verleen met die onderhoud opgerig op die plot van mnr. Chris de Jager.

“By een van die arms van die kruis was daar van die kruis. Saterdag, 2 Julie, het ‘n groepie manne gaan ondersteuning verleen. Hier staan ‘n ‘n kortsluiting. Om dit reg te maak, moes ons paar van die manne aan die voet van die kruis en kyk wat daarbo gebeur. Foto verskaf. eers die arms laat sak,” sê mnr. Dries Briers, die visieleier met die oprigting van die kruis. Die kruis is ongeveer 24 meter hoog en 12 meter breed en bestaan uit ‘n staalkonstruksie wat met kabels op ‘n beton voetstuk geanker word.

“Dit was ‘n hele operasie van omtrent vier ure om die arms te laat sak. Drie dapper manne het hoog daarbo rondgeklouter, terwyl die ander hulle 2011 Toyota Hilux 2011 Toyota Hilux aangemoedig het,” sê mnr. Piet du Toit, wat die 3.0D - 4D 4X4 D/Cab 3.0D - 4D RB D/Cab groep se mediaskakeling behartig.

Briers sê dat die ligte vervang gaan word en dat NOW FOR NOW FOR die staalstruktuur behandel en geverf sal word.

“Sodra die arms weer opgetrek word, kan ons die kruis weer aanskakel, al is ons nog besig met die verfwerk. Dit sal so twee tot drie weke vat om die nodige materiaal te kry,” sê Briers.

Du Toit sê dat die Manne van die Woord by een van die vroeë oggendbyeenkomste op Vrydae onderneem het om met die kruis te help. “Ons is opgewonde dat daar gewillige hande is om die

onderhoud aan die kruis gedoen te kry,” het Briers hierdie week gesê.

Lede van verskillende kerke het destyds die poging gesteun, nadat die gedagte om ‘n verligte kruis op te rig ongeveer twee jaar voor die inwy­ ding daarvan by ‘n bybelstudie groep van Briers ontstaan het.

“Ons moet onthou dat die kruis nie net daar is as ‘n versiering vir die dorp nie. Die kruis is daar om ons te herinner aan die prys wat Jesus Christus vir ons redding betaal het. Miskien was dit ‘n goeie ding dat die lig ‘n ruk af was. Nou kan ons opnuut herinner word aan die werk wat Jesus vir ons aan die kruis gedoen het,” sê Briers.

School news

Oprah’s new school the talk of the town Oprah Winfrey’s “new Limpopo school” is the talk of green architecs and educationalists all over the country.

Nestled deep in the rugged folds of the Soutpansberg in the small village of Gogogo, four learners of the Vele Secondary School recently visited Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge west of Louis Trichardt to learn how to become junior tour guides for their school. The school was practically rebuilt with the help of the Oprah Foundation and is scheduled to open officially by the end of this year.

“Our principal, Mr Samuel Makhado, has been kept so busy being a tour guide to an increas­ ing stream of visitors who want to see our ‘green roofs’ that he jumped at the opportunity when Marcelle Bosch of Madi a Thavha offered to train us to do the job,” says the excited Bless­ ing Ndou, a Grade 10 student at Vele.

“Although the Oprah Foun­ dation donated money towards certain facilities, it is not Oprahowned but a normal public school with an eco-efficient and learnercentric school design,” Makhado explained.

The architects, Steve Kinsler and Derek van Heerden of East Coast Architects, have an inte­ grative approach to designing spaces for the education and health-care sectors. The main characteristics are efficient use of energy, waste and water in combination with special care given to social relevance. They have a shared distaste for flashy consumerism and architecture inappropriate for the social and natural environment, a trend which Van Heerden calls “porno graphic” architecture.

Design features of Vele in­ clude a rainwater-harvesting installation with a total storage capacity of 150,000 litres and 50m² of solar panels which will provide electricity to 80 com­ puters. Passive and low-energy design also create naturally lit and ventilated classrooms that are warm in winter and cool in summer.

“I used to fall asleep during most of our classes at the ‘old’ school,” says Grade 11 learner Konanani Matamela, who wants to become a TV presenter one day. “Now the classes are cool in summer and I’ll be studying or reading books in the classroom instead of wasting my time idling outside under a tree.”

“I was one of those who bunked class regularly in winter,” Blessing admits. “Now I’m the first at school. You’d swear they had lit heaters during the evening in my classroom”.

“The new school has wonder­ ful facilities and equipment and we don’t have to pay money to go to other labs far away to perform experiments. It has changed my life. I am now working harder than before and believe there is hope for me to become a dentist.

I was also one of the lucky pupils who received a bicycle to come to school with”, says Tshilidzi Khakhu.

The layout of the school grounds was designed to facilitate shared use of school facilities by local communities and surround­ ing schools. Food gardens were developed to supplement the school’s nutrition programme.

Design and construction features are now being integrated into the school curriculum. For example, the plants and seeds for the green roofs were sourced by the learn­

ers themselves and now serve as insulation and a wildlife habitat for students to study.

“Academic performance of the whole school has improved since we have moved into the new school,” says Grade 9 pupil Thendo Mushaya. The learners love their principal and say that he has always been strict yet sup­ portive. While they all felt that some teachers seem to be more disciplined and committed to make the new school work, they clearly realise that it will require effort and commitment from all Vele School with some of its ‘green roofs’ seen from the admin tower. The ‘teaching tree’ (the the teachers, learners and the first school) has been preserved in the centre. Photo supplied. whole community to eventually be the model that is envisioned for the school.

“Here at Madi a Thavha, we have for instance learned much more about our own culture and heritage than we ever knew,” says Blessing. “They took us on a guest tour to Venda and Tsonga artists and crafters around Elim.

The lodge itself is also busy with the construction of a gallery and cultural heritage resource centre that covers a confluence of the history and heritage of all the peoples who lived and are still living in this beautiful yet unknown and unspoilt northern part of our country.

“A nee a dokters, julle kan beter doen” - of kon hulle werklik?

G

edurende Junie 2011 raak my top teelbulle, asook die Kampioen­ skoubul, siek .

Omrede ek ‘n jarelange kliënt van Blouberg Dierekliniek is, het ek hard probeer om van hierdie veeartse uit te kry vir hulp, maar sonder sukses.

Hierdie artse is bekend met my stoet­ beeste en behandel hulle gereeld. Wat ek werklik nie kan verstaan nie, is dat ‘n hondjie voorkeur moes geniet, terwyl ‘n R100 000 stoetbul hulp nodig het.

Die vraag is, waarom is daar dan so iets soos ‘n nood- of na-ure nommer wat gekontak kan word, as dit òf nie geant­ woord òf nie gehelp kan word nie?

Dit is vir my betreurens­waardig die manier waarop ek behandel was, terwyl ek in die nood was, om my bul te probeer red.

Nodeloos om te noem, die bul het gevrek en moes maar begrawe word.

Geeneen van die veeartse het eers navraag gedoen na die toestand van die bul nie.

Ek wil dit beklemtoon dat sulke diens, en dit van veeartse, baie swak is. Dit laat my besef ‘n mens moet maar verder gaan soek na mense wat werklik bereid is om jou te help in nood. Terwyl ek gedink het my veeartse is saam met my trots op my Hugenote, blyk die teendeel waar te wees .

A nee a, dokters, julle kan beter doen.

- Mike Coetzee (J3-Stoetery, Louis Trichardt).

In reaksie het Blouberg Dierekliniek

as volg reageer:

Please consider reading the following points, from another perspective, prior to judging this complaint.

The call was received on Sunday morning and the owner mentioned that the bull was dying. This is far beyond the “sick” status that the owner claims in the letter. The offer was made immediately to provide the medication required. Following a brief discussion, an agreement was made for the owner to collect the medication at the clinic. No further assistance was requested and the conversation was ended.

Immediately after ending the conversation, an emergency call was received from a dog owner. It soon became apparent that emergency care was required and the doctor on call arranged to meet the owners at the clinic. The bull’s medication was prepared prior to the arrival of the emergency case involving the dog.

Approximately five minutes later, the bull’s owner called again, requesting immediate assistance. This is where the conflict arose.

The business policy of any veterinary clinic is always to supply the best possible care to all animals. Prioritisation is done on a “first come, first served” basis, except during emergencies.

OMMENTAAR: Gelukkig werk die regstelsel nog so effens - Joop Venter

“Why am I an oxymoron, or am I really?”

S

omeone told me recently that the term “ordinary woman” is an oxymoron. My first inclina­ tion was to wonder what kind of moron that would be, and how that person would differ from an ordinary kind of moron, or any other kind of moron. That, in turn, made me wonder if there is such a thing as an ordinary moron. Which also sounds like an oxymoron. Uh, something tells me I’m going in circles here …

Anyhow, once I managed to escape the spiral of these thoughts that were threatening to trap me in a self-perpetuating cycle (which happens far too easily), I decided to contem­ plate the nature of the state­ ment. I regard myself as an ordinary woman. Well, ordinary in the sense that I would be hesitant to describe myself as possessing outstanding features (facial, corporeal, spiritual, social, parental … you get the drift).

I am no different from bil­ lions of other women who have a husband to keep happy (and we all know what that entails!), a household to run (say no more), children to care for (read: dress, help with their homework, do their laundry, clear up their messes, referee their fights, restore the peace,

drive around to their friends or school, bathe them, and above all, FEED them), pets to keep satisfied (see the previous point, minus the laundry, the home­ work and the driving around), and a thousand-and-one other mundane, prosaic, time-con­ suming activities to fill my day.

And, on top of all these wonderful things, I have a job! I am an emancipated, progressive and productive member of soci­ ety who contributes to the econ­ omy of this country by earning my bread by the sweat of my brow. Which, I have to add, must be perfectly plucked and arched at all times to prevent all kinds of uncalled-for remarks from everyone in the immediate vicinity who feel that they have the right to express an opinion, such as my mother (“Did your tweezers get lost, dear?”) or my daughter (“Mommy, you need to pluck your brows - you don’t want to look like Godzilla”).

Even my husband sometimes feels the need to weigh in and offer a ‘subtle hint’ that I might be ‘going natural’. Ha! Let him shave his bushy legs every day and then we’ll talk again…

But I digress. Back to the question of whether any woman can be regarded as ordinary.

On the one hand, most women

would prefer a fairly unexciting, uneventful life (if the kind of lives we have can be described as such, given everything we go through every day and the things we have to cope with) that does not present us with too many new challenges and surprises. On the other hand…

(Why must there always be an “on the other hand”? Is it because every case always has two sides? What if it has more than two sides? I have a friend who always says there is always more than one side to every story – his side, her side and the truth. So, do we call this side on the “other” other hand? Surely not, since most of us have only two? Eish, I am in danger of be­ ing politically incorrect, which is a whole new topic for another day.)

Fact of the matter is, although most women might think of themselves and their lives as ordinary, none of them really is ordinary. I really doubt that there are many women who can honestly say they prefer a life of unusual and exotic adven­ tures, death-defying escapes, fear-inducing challenges and life-altering experiences on a regular basis. The “ordinary” life of a woman holds too many of those as it is.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “Ons weet nie wat om te doen nie , maar ons oë is op U.”

O

mdat twee hande sonder bevel op die ark van God gelê is, het die persoon gesterf. Met die reinste bedoeling het die persoon dit gedoen om te keer dat die ark val toe die osse gestruikel het. Maar hulle het die werk van God aanmatigend aangeraak en moes sonder lewe terugval.

Vir ‘n groot gedeelte bestaan die geloofslewe daaruit om dinge alleen te laat. As ons ‘n saak heeltemal aan God toevertrou, moet ons ons hande daarvan afhou. Hy kan dit beter bewaar as wat ons kan.

Dit mag voorkom of alles besig is om verkeerd te gaan, maar Hy weet daarvan net so goed soos jy; en Hy sal op die regte oomblik opstaan, as jy Hom net so volkome vertrou dat jy Hom toelaat om op Sy eie tyd en wyse te werk.

Daar is niks so voortreflik soos passi­ witeit in sekere dinge nie en daar is niks so skadelik soos rustelose bedrywighede nie, want God het onderneem om Sy eie soewereine wil uit te werk.

As julle moet staak, doen dit tog net stylvol

D

ie afgelope naweek se koue het die streek se leraars weer hard getref. Ek hoor Maanda­ goggend die opmerkings van “Ek moes preek vir net 24 lidmate” en “Gelukkig vir die kerkraads­ vergadering, anders moes ek alleen saam met die orrel sing.”

Toe die dominee Sondagmiddag bel om te hoor of die dokter al opgedaag het, kon ek darem vinnig die rede gee. “Nee, dominee, ons is besig met ‘n simpatiestaking.” Wie presies almal staak is ek nie oor seker nie, maar ons simpatiseer met hulle, of hulle slagoffers.

Wat ons gewone mense egter pla van die stakers, is die absolute gebrek aan verbeel­ding.

Geweld, vandalisme, brandstigting en intimi­ dasie is nie stylvol nie. Dit bring niemand nader aan mekaar nie en dit dwing geen respek af nie.

Miskien moet die wetgewing aangepas word om sekere opleiding verpligtend vir vakbondle­ iers te maak. Hul heel eerste kursus moet wees in passiewe, nie-gewelddadige weerstand.

In Arthur Hailey se boek, The Money Changers, speel ’n verhaaltjie van passiewe weerstand af. Een van die karakters is ‘n prokureur-aktivis (iets wat naby aan ‘n oksimoron is). Pleks van gewelddadige en konfronterende optrede, het sy haar gewend tot meer diplomatiese metodes.

Haar teiken was ’n groot bankgroep in Amerika wat na ’n bestuurskommeling besluit het om ’n ontwikkelingsprojek te staak in ’n sekere woongebied.

Die prokureur het die gemeenskap gemobili­ seer en vroeg die volgende Maandagoggend het die lang toue voor die bank reeds begin vorm.

Almal van hulle was gewapen met $5, die mini­ mum wat nodig was om ’n rekening te open.

Toe die deure open, het hulle baie ordentlik die kassiere se tyd in beslag begin neem deur

rekeningvorms in te vul en vrae te vra oor die tipe rekenings, beleggings, rentekoerse en dies meer. Kort na so ’n rekening geopen is, wou elkeen nog ’n paar ekstra munte by een van die kassiere in hul nuwe rekenings deponeer. Uiter­ aard was die bank in rep en roer en geen van die gereëlde kliënte kon naby die tak kom nie.

Op vrae van die personeel van die bank oor hoekom hulle almal ewe skielik nuwe rek­ eninge wil open, is vriendelik geantwoord: “Ons het gehoor die bank het geldelike prob­ leme. Dit is sekerlik hoekom die ontwikkeling in ons gebied gestaak is. Nou maak ons maar ons beskeie bydrae en hoop die geldjie help die bank, sodat hulle dit oorweeg om weer voort te gaan.”

Na twee weke se voortgesette “massaprotes” op dié wyse het die bank bes gegee. Hulle het die aankondiging gemaak dat hulle voortgaan met die ontwikkeling. In daardie stadium het die protesaksie reeds die internasionale media se aandag getrek. ’n Klompie jare gelede het ’n groep motor­ fietsryers in Gauteng ’n soortgelyke protesaksie geloods teen die heffing van tolhekgelde. Hulle beswaar was teen die feit dat ’n klein motor­ fiets, wat minimale skade aan die padoppervlak aanrig, dieselfde fooie moet betaal as ’n swaar motor met ’n sleepwa of karavaan.

Die groep motorfietsryers het van tolhek tot tolhek gery en wanneer dit by die betaalslag kom met R200-note betaal. Van die motorfiets­ ryers het vir afwisseling ook hul spaarvarkies oopgebreek en die tolhekgelde met een- en tweesentstukke betaal. Nodeloos om te sê, die verkeer het vir kilometers opgedam terwyl hulle “gesukkel” het om te betaal of kleingeld te kry. ’n Groep van die motorfietsryers is later gear­

Die gewone man

resteer en moes op een of ander vae klag in die hof verskyn. Wat uiteindelik met hulle gebeur het, is ek nie seker nie, maar ek twyfel of staatsaanklaers veel tyd sou mors op dié sake.

Ongelukkig het hul aksie niks meer opgelewer as vae beloftes nie.

Van ons gewone mense se kant dalk net ’n mooi versoek aan al die stakers: Ons besef julle is gefrustreerd met julle omstandighede. Julle base eien hulself miljoene rande se bonusse toe en die werkers kry die skille. Daar is egter baie maniere hoe julle jul sin kan kry. Moenie die verbeeldinglose, weersinwekkende roetes kies nie.

Ter afsluiting net ‘n baie kort huldeblyk aan sekerlik een van die mees gewone besonderse mense wat hierdie land ooit opgelewer het, naamlik mnr. Nelson Mandela. Vir my sal hy altyd die verpersoonliking wees van ‘n gewone, nederige mens wat die bykans ongelooflike vermag het.

Ek het net een keer die voorreg gehad om hom te ontmoet. Hy het die opening van die nuwe brug by die Beitbrug grenspos bygewoon.

Soos dit ‘n staatshoof betaam, was hy ‘n kort rukkie voor die seremonie reeds teenwoordig en het die gaste een vir een gegroet. Die baie belangrike leier van Zimbabwe het hom egter nie aan protokol gestuur nie en meer as twee ure laat opgedaag. Daar was geen vergelyk tussen die statuur van die twee staatshoofde nie. Die een was deel van die mense en het vriendelik met die mees eenvoudiges van ons gesels, terwyl die ander onaantasbaar in sy belangrikheid was.

Madiba, geluk met jou verjaarsdag Maandag.

En dankie...

Braambos celebrates new classrooms Students and their parents celebrated the opening of the new classrooms at Braambos Primary on June 24.

The school caters for children living on AFB Makhado outside Louis Trichardt , with the new classrooms officially opened by the officer commanding of the base, Brig. Genl. Chris Delport.

Although the Grade 2 to 7 learners had already moved into their new classrooms early in the second term, all of them showed up for the official opening.

Some of the honoured guests included Mrs Tienie Williams, founder of Braambos Primary, and one of the previous officers commanding, Maj Genl Des

Barker, whose wife, Mrs Bennie Barker, was also a teacher at the school.

The day’s activities were con­ cluded with a social spitbraai.

Afterwards, the school expressed their gratitude towards every­ body who attended the function and contributed to making the day a success.

All 72 councillors took part in the training.

According to the mayor of the municipality, Cllr Mavhungu Luruli, the training was meant for all councilors, irrespective of which political parties they belonged to. She said that the main objective of the training was to equip councillors with relevant skills, so that they ould be able to understand what was expected from them.

“The South African Local Government As­ sociation (Salga) took the decision nationally that councillors needed to be trained, so that they can understand their roles in the municipalities. We are familiarising them with the co-legislation frame­ work, which guides us in local government. They also need to understand integrated development plan (IDP) competencies.”

She added that because communication is an important part of the work of a councillor, they received training in communication skills. “Coun­ cillors need to know how to communicate with As part of the opening celebrations, students treated guests, parents and fellow students to a the public.” fashion show, moddeling clothes that they made out of recycled material.

Machika, the national deputy-chairperson of Salga, said that the training of councillors took place in all the provinces in the country. “We started this initiative of training the councilors in 1996. We realized that there was a need to equip councillors with skills, including financial management and how to conduct meetings in the communities. We expect them to hold meetings with members of their communities on a regular basis,” added Machika.

Studie wys groenes praat nie vir almal

Klein geel-en wit plastiekhouertjies soos dié kan deesdae op verskeie plekke langs die hoofpaaie in die Vhembe (Soutpansberg) streek gesien word. Die houertjies bevat giftige lokaas vir vrugtevlieë en maak deel uit van ‘n landwye vroeë-waarskuwingstelsel vir die opsporing van gevaarlike vreemde vrugtevlieë, veral naby belangrike vrugteproduseringsgebiede. Die foto is naby sitrusboorde tussen Tshipise en Bokmakierie geneem. Een van die eerste sitrusplase wat weens die afwesigheid van peste en plae toegelaat is om Suid-Afrikaanse sitrus na China uit te voer, is in hierdie area geleë.

Omgewingsnuus

Soutpansberg help veg teen vrugtevlieë Beitbrug, Musina en omstreke word, soos al die belangrike internasionale toegange tot die land, gemoniteer om te help om Suid-Afrika se uitvoer-vrugtebedryf ter waarde van anderhalfbiljoen Amerikaanse Dollar teen die vernietigende gevaar van uitheemse vrugtevlieë te beskerm. ‘n Landwye aksieplan vir die bekamping van sk­ adelike vrugtevlieë, en die vroegtydige opsporing­ sprogram teen gevaarlike nuwe spesies uitheemse vrugtevlieë, word tans ingevolge internasionale ooreenkomste ook in die belangrike vrugteprodu­ seringsgebiede van Limpopo geïmplimenteer deur die vroeë-waarskuwingsafdeling van die nasionale plantbeskermingsorganisasie van Suid-Afrika.

Lokvalle om die moontlike teenwoordigheid van gevaarlike spesies vroegtydig op te vang, is reeds oor ‘n wye gebied oral langs die hoofroetes in die omgewing van Musina en Tshipise aangebring en word gereeld ondersoek deur dié spesiale afdel­ ing wat op die been gebring is in die direktoraat plantgesondheid en –gehalte van die Departement van Landbou, Bosbou en Seevisserye.

Aksieplanne is reeds in plek om die identifikasie van vrugtevlieë in die lokvalle te behartig en vin­ nige, doeltreffende bekampings- en kwarantynmaa­ treëls in te stel, indien nodig.

Die hele program maak deel uit van voortgesette pogings om Suid-Afrikaanse produsente by te staan in die volgehoue verbetering van hul uitvoer vrugte,

deur onder meer ook vrugtevliegvrye-gebiede in die land te skep en in stand te hou. Dit dra by tot verminderde produksieverliese en die voortgesette aanvaarbaarheid en aansien van Suid-Afrikaanse vrugte op die internasionale markte.

Tans veroorsaak veral drie plaaslike vrugtevlieg­ spesies reeds jaarlikse skade van meer as $3 miljoen in Suid-Afrikaanse vrugteboorde. In veral die Wes-Kaapse sagtevrugte produksiegebiede is dit hoofsaaklik die Mediterreense vrugtevlieg (Med­ fly) en Natalse vrugtevlieg wat produksie­verliese veroorsaak. In die noord-oostelike gedeeltes van die land (Limpopo en Mpumalanga) veroorsaak die Maroela vrugtevlieg skade aan veral sitrus- en subtropiese vrugte-oeste. ‘n Gevorderde bekampingstegniek, bekend as die steriele insek tegniek (SIT) word tans veral teen die Medfly ingespan.(Die tegniek behels die teelt van steriele manlike vrugtevlieë wat in bepaalde areas losgelaat word, en was tot dusver hoofsaaklik tot gedeeltes van die Wes-Kaapse produksiegebiede beperk, waar wisselende welslae behaal is). Hierdie en ander bekampingsmetodes kan ernstig in die wiele gery word deur die binnekoms en vestiging van eksotiese vrugtegvlieë, soos veral die uiters gevaarlike Asiatiese vrugtevlieg (Bactrocera in­ vadens) in Suid-Afrika. Dié aggressiewe indringer kom oorspronklik uit Sri Lanka, en is tans besig om ernstige skade aan vrugte en groente-oeste in verskillende dele van Afrika aan te rig.

Dit word reeds so ver suid as Mosambiek en in Namibië aangetref.

Die gevaar dat dit Suid-Afrika kan binnekom is wesenlik, weens die toename van internasio­ nale nyhwerheids- en toerisme verkeer, wat die moontlikheid vergroot dat besmette vrugte oor die landsgrense gebring kan word. Die voorkoms van dié gevreesde vrugtevlieg in Mosambiek het daartoe aanleiding gegee dat die opsporingspro­ gram in Suid-Afrikaanse areas en roetes nader aan die Mosambiekgrens nou verskerp word.

Om te jag is eie aan die Bosveld en dit is soms vreemd om iemand hier raak te loop wat teen jag gekant is. ‘n Foto van ‘n trofee-koedoe op die agterblad van ‘n LiN Media-publikasie het egter die volgende kommentaar op Face­ book ontketen: “Hallo daar. Ai, ek wou am­ per huil toe ek vanoggend die koerant se agterblad sien. Wat ‘n pragtige koedoe ... dood.

Dis rerig ‘n skande om so trotse pragbok dood te maak net vir plesier. Ek weet dis my opinie, maar ek wil net sê dit is nie ‘n prestasie om so wonderlike dier te dood nie. Dis nie sport nie, maar moord. Die mens is ‘n indringer in die natuur. Een van die dae is daar niks oor van die pragtige wild nie.”

Dit is kommentaar soos hi­ erdie wat daartoe gelei het dat Pieter van Niekerk, ‘n professor in die Departement van Land­ bou en Wildbestuur verbonde aan die Nelson Mandela Met­ ropolitaanse Universiteit in Port Elizabeth, navorsing gedoen het oor die openbare opinie rondom jag. Van Niekerk is ook die na­ sionale voorsitter van CHASA, ’n jagterskonfederasie waarby 22 jagters-liggame geaffilieer is en LiN Media het met hom gesels oor sy navorsing.

LiN: Waarom is dit belangrik om te weet hoe Suid-Afrikaners oor jag voel?

Van Niekerk: Diereregtegroepe is al vir ‘n geruime tyd besig om namens Suid-Afri­

kaners hulle misnoeë oor die jagbedryf uit te spreek. Hulle gaan so ver as om die regering te probeer oorreed om jag in Suid-Afrika te verban. Hulle praat asof die oorgrote meer­ derheid van Suid-Afrikaners nie ten gunste van jag is nie.

Daarom het ons besluit om die studie te doen.

LiN: Wat het die resultate van die studie getoon?

Van Niekerk: Die studie het gewys dat 53% van die re­ spondent ten gunste van jag is, terwyl 21% neutrale gevoelens teenoor jag het en slegs 26% daarteen gekant is. ‘n Belan­ grike bevinding is dat mense wat gekant is teen jag in twee groepe verdeel kan word. Die eerste groep is van mening dat hulle slegs persoonlik ‘n afkeur in jag het en dat ander mense die reg behoort te hê om te jag in­ dien hulle sou wou. Die tweede groep is die mense wat glo dat jag verban moet word (minder as 15% van respondente). Meer vroue as mans is gekant teen jag, terwyl die meerderheid van die publiek (78%) van mening is dat jag potensieel voordelig vir wildpopulasies kan wees indien dit op ‘n verantwoordelike wyse gedoen word. Ons weet ook dat openbare mening oor jag op die platteland meer positief is as in stedelike gebiede.

LiN: Hou die negatiewe uitsprake oor jag werklik ‘n bedreiging vir die jagbedryf in?

Van Niekerk: Ons maak ‘n fout as ons nie die uitermatig

negatiewe uitsprake van dier­ eregte-organisasies oor jag as ‘n bedreiging vir die jagbedryf beskou nie. Dit is noodsaaklik dat ons aktief daaraan werk om meer publieke steun vir jag te wen en sodoende ‘n toekoms vir ons wild, sowel as vir ons jagtradisie, te verseker.

LiN: Wat sê jy vir mense wat negatief is oor jag?

Van Niekerk: Die jagbedryf doen baie vir die bewaring van die natuur en veral wild. Dit dra by tot voedselsekerheid omdat dit hoë-kwaliteit proteïene pro­ duseer. Navorsing toon dat meer as 55% van die inkomste van die wildbedryf uit jag afkomstig is – dus, sonder die jagbedryf sal daar ook geen wildbedryf wees nie. Werksgeleenthede word aan duisende verskaf en jagters kan met reg trots wees op die bydrae wat hulle tot die land se ekonomie (meer as R7 miljard per jaar) en tot bewaring maak. Die toekoms van jag en die toekoms van die wildbedryf is onlosmaaklik aan mekaar verbind en dit maak dus sin dat die groter wildgemeenskap (wat sowel jagters as wildboere insluit) nou met mekaar moet saamwerk. Die groot uitdaging vir almal is om individuele be­ lange ondergeskik te maak aan die groter prentjie, naamlik om ’n sterk en gesonde wildbedryf te vestig waarin die wildboer en die jagter mekaar se be­ hoeftes verstaan en waar almal onderling na mekaar se belange omsien.
