Inwoners sukkel om sin te maak van drie wat eie lewens neem - bladsy 4

Was dit nie vir ‘n klein rotsvyboompie en rotswand nie, het hulle verseker na hul dood getuimel

Drie meter skei hulle van die dood Deur Andries van Zyl

Slegs drie meter het hulle geskei van ‘n gewisse dood.

Sakeman en vlieënier mnr.

Brink Schlesinger van Makhado het Woensdag vertel van die dramatiese frats vliegongeluk wat hy en drie passasiers verlede Vrydag omstreeks 13:00 op die kruin van ‘n hoë koppie naby Swartwater wonderbaarlik oorleef het.

“Dit was eerder ‘n sitongeluk as vliegongeluk,” het Schlesinger geskerts. Hy het egter geen illusies oor juis hoe gelukkig hulle was om die ongeluk te oorleef het nie.

Schlesinger het Vrydag drie tegnici van Pretoria, mnre. Leon du Plessis, Tom Venter en Pierre Tiersma, na die koppie opgevlieg om ‘n radiomas te gaan herstel.

Ná ‘n inspeksievlug het Schlesinger met sy Bell Jet Ranger III helikopter ingekom om te land. Schlesinger het geland, die helikopter gestabiliseer en was in die proses om die krag na die turbine te verminder toe ‘n skielik rukwind van tussen 30 en 60 kilometer per uur die helikopter se rotorlemme opgeruk het.

“Ek het gehoor hoe skuur die

helikopter se landingsslee agteruit op die klippe … Jy kan niks doen nie, want jy kan nie vinnig genoeg die enjin weer krag gee nie,” het Schlesinger gesê.

Die rukwind het die helikopter 180° agteroor gedruk, waarna dit omgeslaan en op die sy te lande gekom het. In die proses is die rotorlemme afgeslaan.

Die wrak van die helikopter met sy vier insittendes het daarna wonderbaarlik tussen ‘n jong rotsvyboompie en ‘n rotswand ingewig, skaars drie meter vanaf ‘n sowat 100m-hoë afgrond.

Was dit nie vir dié boompie en rotswand nie, is Schlesinger seker hy en sy passasiers sou 100m na hul dood getuimel het.

“Onmiddellik na die ongeluk het ek eers uitgevind of iemand beseer is. Dit was maar hoofsaaklik ligte kneusplekke en skrape en ek het almal beveel om die helikopter te ontruim,” het Schlesinger gesê. Sy grootste vrees in daardie stadium was ‘n moontlik brand, aangesien die helikopter se turbine steeds geloop het.

Helikopter stort byna teen krans af 2km teen die styl koppie af sukkel na die teerpad, waar ons ontmoet is,” het Schlesinger gesê.

“Ek is dankbaar om te leef, maar dit is steeds hartseer om so afskeid te neem van ‘n helikop­ ter wat jy sedert 1983 besit. Die ironie is dat ek pas ‘n loods op my plaas gebou het waar ek die helikopter na Vrydag se vlug sou stoor,” het Schlesinger gesê. Die verder ironie, het hy gesê, is dat hy ‘n dag voor die ongeluk die helikopter se versekeringswaarde met R500 000 verminder het.

“Vrydagoggend bel hulle my en sê ‘n stormwind het meer as R50 000 se skade aan my huis op Skuitbaai in die Kaap aangerig. Kan jy glo dat wind, van die een uithoek van SuidAfrika na die ander, op een dag ook die helikopterongeluk kon veroorsaak het?”

Oor die ongeluk self het Schle­s inger gesê dat baie mense sekerlik sal vra waarom hy in die sterk rukwinde van Vrydag besluit het om te vlieg.

“Dit is nie ‘n nuwe ding wat ek gaan probeer het nie.

Ek is opgelei daarvoor en dis heeltemal binne my en die helikopter se vermoë. Wat Vrydag gebeur het, was niks anders as ‘n fratsonge­ luk nie,” het Schlesinger gesê.

Van die Soutpansberg se inwoners sal onthou dat Schlesinger ook in Oktober 1987 ‘n vlieg­ ongeluk oorleef het, nadat hy met dieselfde helikopter naby Kutama neergestort het. Die he­ likopter is na die tyd weer herbou.

Oor die helikopter se lot na Vrydag se onge­ luk het Schlesinger gesê hy dink die versekering sal dit hierdie keer afskryf. ‘n Lugfoto van die helikopter se wrak waar dit skaars drie meter Teen druktyd moes vanaf die 100m hoë afgrond (net links daarvan) tot stilstand gekom die wrak nog vanaf die het.

(Vervolg vanaf p. 1) Ná hy dit afgeskakel het en die nodige dokumente uit die helikopter verwyder het, het hy ook na veiligheid gevlug.

Gelukkig vir die viermans­ kap was daar selfoonontvangs op die koppie en kon hulle Burgerlugvaart en die polisie van die ongeluk inlig. Met hulp op pad, het die tegnici ten spyte van die ongeluk steeds voortgegaan om die radiomas te herstel.

Voormalige polisiemanne weer in hof Twee voormalige polisiemanne wat verbonde was aan die SAPD op Makhado sal nou in die hof moet antwoorde verskaf op aantygings van korrupsie en diefstal.

Dié twee, Freddy Mashudu Makananise (49) en Aubrey Tabashe (30), het Maandag in die Streekhof op Makhado verskyn op klagte van motordiefstal, korrupsie en regsverydeling.

Hulle het in 2010 saam met twee ander verdagtes, Gilbert Shamano Mudau (42) en Vusi Regionald Mothibela (26), verskyn op klagte van gewapende roof en menseroof. Dié mans is daarvan verdink dat hulle op 17 April 2010 ‘n waaghalsige roof uitgevoer het by M Premjee & Son in Makhado.

Na bewering sou die mans dié betrokke dag drie sekuriteitsbeamptes op die sakeperseel oorrompel en vasgebind het.

Tydens die roof het een van die verdagtes ‘n polisiebaadjie aangehad, met die ander twee wat na bewering geklee was in uniforms van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag (SANW).

Honderde duisende rande se rekenaars is tydens die roof gebuit. Die winkelkluis is ook oopgebreek en ‘n groot bedrag kontant is daaruit gesteel.

Mudau en Tabashe is kort na die voorval in hegtenis geneem, nadat beeldmateriaal hulle na bewering in die omgewing van die misdaadtoneel geplaas het. Hulle het destyds R25 000 in borggeld betaal. Pas nadat hulle op borg vrygelaat is, is hulle op nog ‘n klag van motordiefstal, as’t ware op die hof se trappe, in hegtenis geneem.

Dit is op hierdie klag wat Makananise en Tabashe nou moet kom verduidelik. Die klag hou verband met ‘n Mazda bakkie wat Makananise na bewering by ‘n Dennis Derrick Zulu gekoop het, maar nie betaal het nie. Zulu het getuig dat hy sy geld by Makananise geëis het, waarop hy [Zulu] summier in hegtenis geneem is op ‘n klag van diefstal.

Beide mans is kort na hul hofverskyning geskors sonder betaling, hangende ‘n dissiplinêre verhoor.

Hulle saak is ook verskeie kere uitgestel en later voorlopig teruggetrek sodat verder ondersoek in­ gestel kon word.

Dit is glo vanuit hiérdie ondersoek dat die klag van korrupsie spruit. Volgens die klagstaat wat Maandag by die hof ingedien is, het Makananise en Tabashe na bewering R6 000 van Zulu ontvang om sy dossier te laat “verdwyn”.

Makananise en Tabashe se prokureur, Desmond Mphaphuli, het Dinsdag bevestig dat hy namens sy kliënte ‘n dagvaardiging teen die Minister van Veiligheid en Sekuriteit uitgereik het. Hulle eis R2 miljoen in skadevergoeding van die minister.

Mphaphuli is van mening dat die polisie sy kliënte verkeerdelik gearresteer het in 2010.

Makananise en Tabashe se saak is Maandag uitgestel tot 27 en 28 Augustus vir verhoor.

Freddy Makananise, soos hy gelyk het tydens sy vorige hofverskynings in 2010. Hy het in die Louis Trichardt Landdroshof verskyn.

Name fight again heading for court The fight to decide what the town’s name will be in the foreseeable future is once again heading for the court rooms.

Following the second name change of the town Louis Trichardt to Makhado, the Chairpersons Association (CA) received a unanimous vote from its members to take the decision of the Minister of Arts and Culture on review to court.

At the CA meeting on June 6 in the church hall of the Soutpansberg Dutch Reformed Church, members of the large contingent of the Hlanganani Concerned Group were very vocal in their rejection of the procedures that were followed prior to the name change. Mr Donald Mlati said that, at the time, they had persuaded the Shangaans not to set alight the bus that the Makhado Municipality had used to transport people from outside to Waterval to “vote for the name change.”

Mr Robert Khoza, Hlan­ ganani chairperson, said in an interview after the meet­ ing that the name change had been forced down their throats.

Arts and Culture Min­ ister Paul Mashatile was satisfied that “according to documents submitted all consultative processes were followed and all points of view that emerged during consultation and Council meetings were also reflected and submitted…” as stated by his letter of dismissal of objections dated 10 May 2012.

Both the name change and the Minister’s dis­ missal of the CA’s objections will be taken to court on review. Minister Mashatile gazetted the name change on 14 October last year. The CA will first take the matters on review to the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria and, if necessary, to the Appeal Court or even the Constitutional Court.

The purpose of the CA and its appointed attor­ neys and advocate, Adv Denny du Preez, is to have the name change set aside. In the first round of the name change from Louis Trichardt to Makhado,

the struggle started in 2003 and the name change was set aside by a panel of Appeal Court judges in 2007, whereafter the Makhado Municipality restarted the process. Part of the CA resolution states that the meeting has mandated the CA Exco to cite as respondents any applicable organ of state, including the Makhado Municipality, the Regional Geographical Names Council as well as the Na­ tional Geographical Names Council.

The appointed attorneys and advocate will work on a contingency basis, and if they succeed in their case, they will recover their costs from any of the respondents against whom the court may make a decision to pay the costs.

The previous name change case cost the State approximately R500 000 in taxed costs. The mem­ bers of the general meeting of the CA understood that “if their legal team is not successful in the review application, the court may make a cost order against the CA and that they will be responsible for payment of the costs of the successful respondent as may be made by court order if applicable”.

The CA’s secretary, Ms Inga Gilfillan, said that the con­ stitution of the CA limited financial responsibility in such a case to R1 per member. The CA directly and indirectly represents about 90 0000 members.

Gilfillan said that they already had donations pledged if necessary.

The CA Chairperson, Mr André Naudé, said that he was not surprised by the unanimous decision of the general meeting to take the matter to court on review. “People are definitely more interested this time round. We had 2 000 more signatures on our petition lists. At the meeting, the synergy between cultural groups was demonstrated,” Naudé said.

Nearly half of the attendees came from the Shangaan cultural group. Naudé said that some of the large organisations in town sent mainly their chairpersons to represent them.

The SABC interviewed Mr Robert Khoza, chairperson of the Hlanganani Concerned Group, after the meeting where it was resolved to take the name change of Louis Trichardt to Makhado on review to court. A few of the group’s members stand with him. From left are Mr GJ Hlangwane, Mr Robert Khoza, Ms Eaglet Mayimele (treasurer) and Mr Donald Mlati.

Nog slordig, maar motoriste kan ry! Menige inwoner juig omdat Stubbsstraat weer in gebruik is en hulle makliker oor die N1 kan beweeg.

Skok nadat drie hul eie lewens neem

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

Vreugde ná strate weer oopgestel word Menige inwoner jubel noudat van die dorp se strate, veral dié wat baie verkeer dra, geteer en oopgestel is vir motoriste om te gebruik.

Teen Dinsdag het amptenare van die Makhado Munisipaliteit saam met mnr. Pieter Meiring van die raadgewende ingenieurs Dombo en Du Plessis die strate gaan bekyk. “Die munisipale manne het darem al weer ge­ glimlag toe hulle sien die strate is geteer. Wat belangrik is, is dat die strate nou gebruik kan word,” het Meiring gesê. Almal was met reg bekommerd dat die strate nie betyds vir die groot Kremetart fietswedren op 9 Junie gereed sou wees nie.

Die afgelope week is ook heelwat van Polokwane Surfa­ cing (Hillary Construction) se voer­tuie opgemerk waar hulle vertroue by die publiek ingebo­ esem het deur vinnig en skynbaar deeglik te werk. Daar word gevra hoekom inwoners so lank wanorde in hulle strate moes verduur as sekere maatskappye wel vinnig en akkuraat kan werk en goeie projekbestuur kan toon.

Stubbsstraat, wat een van die enigste drie toegangsroetes oor die N1 is wat die oostelike en westelike gedeeltes van die dorp

verbind, was lank toegemaak.

Dit het verkeersopeenhopings en baie ekstra kilometers in om­ paaie vir motoriste beteken, om nie eers te praat van inwoners en sakepersone wat die josie in was omdat hulle nie toegang tot hulle persele kon verkry nie.

As antwoord op klagtes het die raadgewende ingenieurs, Dombo en Du Plessis, gesê dat hulle opdrag aan die kontrakteur, Fantique Trade, gegee het om die pad in halfwydtes klaar te maak en dus altyd ‘n laan oop te hê.

Dit het egter nie gebeur nie en die straat is sommer in die geheel omgedolwe. ‘n Bron na aan die projek het inligting verskaf oor waarom die seëllaag van die pad so vinnig kon geskied. Die kontrakteur het die seëlwerk aan die groot maatskappy gesubkontrakteer, wat ook die vervaardiger is van die asfalt waarmee geteer word.

Die kontrakteur moes na bew­ ering vanaf 25 Mei laatboetes betaal. Volgens die bron het die kontrakteur ná die subkon­ trak waarskynlik nie veel wins gemaak op die projek nie. Die kontrakteur was nie bereid om met die media te praat nie.

Andersonstraat was nog ‘n groot kopseer, met die swaar

verkeer wanneer kinders heen en weer skooltoe vervoer moes word. Dié projek het in Septem­ ber verlede jaar begin en moes in Januarie vanjaar voltooi gewees het. Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het egter die kontrakteur se eerste twee betalings laat betaal.

Die bindlaag van Anderson­ straat is vir ‘n tweede keer gedaan gery en die inwoners het sleg tweede gekom met die verskrik­ like stof. “Tot heel agter in my tuin, die heel verste van die straat af, is die plante oortrek met stof,” het mnr. Schalk Grobbelaar van Andersonstraat verlede Woens­ dag gesê. Ander inwoners het begin siek word van die stof. Agt maande na die aanvang van werk aan hierdie kort stukkie straat is die teerwerk uiteindelik gedoen.

Almal is verheug dat die strate gebruik kan word, maar gaan dit nou weer sloer met die skoon­ maak en afronding? “Die skoon­ maak kan partykeer amper ‘n groter werk wees. Ek vertrou dat die meeste werk, indien nie alles nie, teen die einde van Junie klaar sal wees,” het Meiring gesê. Hy het genoem dat daar dan werk volg in Grobler-, Devenish- en Presidentstraat en afronding in Waterbessie-, Protea- en Eland­ straat.

Talle inwoners sukkel steeds om sin te maak uit die tragiese omstandighede wat drie van die Soutpansberg-streek se inwoners genoop het om hul eie lewens te neem.

Veral die afsterwe van die 54-jarige me. Joey Smith het as ‘n groot skok gekom, nie net vir haar familie nie, maar ook vir die talle vriende wat sy in die dorp gehad het. Joey, wat vir lank ‘n donker stryd teen depressie gevoer het, het Sondag haar eie lewe geneem.

“Sy was ‘n pragtige en liewe mens ... dat ek só ‘n mooi mens moes verloor,” het mnr. Bennie Smith, Joey se man, Dinsdag gesê. Hy het Sondag haar liggaam in die egpaar se huis ontdek na hy teruggekom het van ‘n kerkdiens af.

Joey, wat vanaf vyfarige ouderdom op Louis Trichardt gebly het, het hier haar skoolloopbaan voltooi, waarna sy gaan studeer het. Sy het in 1992 teruggekeer en haar weer hier op die dorp kom vestig. Sy het haar man, Bennie, in 1995 ontmoet en hulle is kort daarna getroud.

Joey sal veral onthou word deur die talle leer­ linge wat by haar ekstra wiskundelesse geneem het. Sy het op ‘n stadium ‘n groep van 50 kinders gehad wat sy na skool gehelp het met wiskunde.

Ten tye van haar afsterwe het Joey ook deeltyds uitgehelp by ‘n kleuterskool in die dorp.

Sy word oorleef deur haar man, haar broer en suster. ‘n Roudiens sal Vrydag, 15 Junie, om 14:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Soutpansberg-gemeente vir Joey gehou word.

Bennie het namens Joey se familie almal be­ dank wat hom en die familie ondersteun het met oproepe en besoeke.

Intussen het die polisie op Makhado Maandag

bevestig dat hulle twee geregtelike doodsonder­ soeke geopen het, nadat nog ‘n man en vrou van die omgewing klaarblyklik hul eie lewens geneem het in twee aparte voorvalle.

In die eerste geval het die 55-jarige Louis le Roux, ‘n sakeman van die dorp, homself geskiet op Sondag, 3 Junie.

Die tweede ondersoek is geopen nadat ‘n me.

Chatrine de Jager (56) ook na bewering haarself geskiet het. Sy is Maandagoggend met ‘n skiet­ wond op haar seun se plaas, sowat 30km op die N1-noord, gevind. ‘n Vuurwapen is langs haar gevind.

Neighbours Mr Ampie Meintjies from Loeriepark and Mr Samuel Tshifhango 30 Mimosa Street came out to watch this waste of precious water.

By Linda van der Westhuizen

Water everywhere, but nothing for the taps A water leak in Makhado’s Mimosa Street gushed out water so fast that, even with the water supply interrupted for the greater part of the day, it dammed up in a driveway and ran down two street blocks.

Neighbours came out to watch precious water flowing away. Ms Yolandi Smit said that the leak started in front of their house, opposite Loerie Park, on 26 May. It was painful for them to see water wasted while there was no water in their taps or tanks and their garden having dried up. In addition, they had to steer their vehicles through the river in their gateway. The fact that the water supply in that part of the town is interrupted for many hours daily made it possible for them to gain access to their premises.

Smit’s mother-in law, Ms Ellie Venter, started phoning the Makhado Municipality on Monday, 28 May. She resides on the same premises. “I phoned many times over the next 10 days, but stopped be­ cause I have to pay for all the calls,” Venter said.

By that time, the water was running down Mimosa Street, around the corner and into Koedoe Street.

Passersby stared in amazement. Mr Ampie Meintjies from Loeriepark and Mr Samuel Tshi­ fhango, a neighbour from 30 Mimosa Street, stood looking at the water still gushing out on 8 June. “I wanted to go fishing,” Tshifhango joked.

It was Tshifhango’s turn more than two weeks ago, with a burst pipe on the pavement of his residence.

“The municipality eventually did come out. They said the pipe had burst because of tree roots. They opened it up and left, saying they would first have to buy pipes and materials. They usually came back at night to work,” Tshifhango said. This hole was left open, with the soil dumped into the street itself,

partly obscuring it.

Venter reported that the major leak was repaired late on 8 June. She said that the water had stopped running into their premises.

The municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, said that the leak in Mimosa Street had been caused by a mainline pipe burst. “It took some days [to fix] because we were still waiting for some parts,” Bobodi said on Tuesday and promised that the hole would be fixed in one day’s time.

Henry was in 2008 die hoofseun van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. Hy is tans besig met ´n honneursgraad in dieselfde rigting by dié kampus. Foto verskaf.

Laaste kans om stoommodelle te sien

‘n Rare versameling werkende stoommodelle is nog in Makhado te sien. Hier is mnr. Hansie Uys (regs) en vroulief Corrie by ‘n paar van die groot aantal modelle. Me. Uys hou ’n stoomaangedrewe sportmotor vas. Heel voor is twee klein stoom waterpompe wat oom Hansie self gebou het. Agter die pompe, van links na regs, is ‘n ingevoerde brandweerwa, ‘n lokomotief wat sirkustoerusting trek, ‘n selfvervaardigde padroller en ‘n lokomotief wat goud-erts vervoer.

Oudste wildveiling 38ste keer gehou Die drukkersduiwel het verlede week weer sy lelike gesig gewys in die artikel oor Greater Kuduland Safari’s se wildveiling op 1 Junie.

Die veiling is die oudste wild­veiling in die land

en is vir die 38ste keer, nie die 33ste keer soos in die artikel aangedui nie, aangebied. Die veiling het ook nie soos in die verklaring aangedui op Alldays plaasgevind nie, maar wel op Tshipise.

South African and Zimbabwean border officials at the Beit Bridge border post were seen picking up litter during a joint clean-up campaign along the Limpopo River.

By Mashudu Netsianda

Joint effort to clean up border post South African and Zimbab­ wean officials operating at the Beit Bridge border post embarked on a massive joint clean-up campaign along the Limpopo River two weeks ago.

The five-hour programme, dubbed the Two-Countries Clean-up Campaign, coincided with the World Environment Day commemorations. The exercise was spearheaded and co-ordinated by the two coun­ tries’ port health departments operating at the border post.

The South African port health coordinator at Beit Bridge, Mr David Ramuthiugi, said the clean-up exercise was aimed at raising awareness with travel­ lers and border officials on solid-waste management and disposal along the border post.

“We conducted the exercise with various stakeholders from Zimbabwe and South Africa

to conscientise travellers on the need to keep our environ­ ment clean, particularly when it comes to solid-waste disposal.

The Beit Bridge border post is the shop window to both Zimbabwe and South Africa.

We should keep it clean all the times, so that we are able to at­ tract more visitors and interna­ tional tourists to our countries,” he said.

Speaking during the exercise, Zimbabwe’s district environ­ mental officer for Beit Bridge, Mr Notho Dube, said the cleanup was in line with the Interna­ tional Health Regulation (IHR) requirement of 2005, of which Zimbabwe and South Africa are signatories. “We embarked on the joint campaign involv­ ing various key stakeholders operating at the border post on both the Zimbabwean and South African side. As regulatory authorities, we have a mandate

to ensure that our ports of entry are kept clean and we noted that Beit Bridge needed to be spruced up,” he added.

Dube said they intended to conduct similar exercises quarterly.

Other stakeholders who par­ ticipated in the clean-up cam­ paign included the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) and South African Revenue Service (SARS) officials, im­ migration officers from the two countries, New Limpopo Bridge (NLB) company employees, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and agricul­ ture inspectors from Zimbabwe and South Africa.

The Environmental Manage­ ment Agency (EMA), Zimba­ bwe Prisons Service officers, Beit Bridge Town Council and Musina Municipality workers also participated in the cam­ paign.

Mnr. Phillip Olivier is die nuwe bestuurder van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging in Makhado. Hy neem oor by me. Aretha Smit, wat vanaf Augustus 2010 die pos beklee het. Olivier het op 1 Junie begin. Vir die eerste maand werk Smit, wat terugkeer na die onderwys, nog op deeltydse basis saam met Olivier.

Tegniese fout rede vir waterskaarste Sommer met die intrapslag wil die nuwe bestuurder van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging (SBBV) antwoorde oor die gebrekkige watervoorsiening aan Makhado hê. “‘n Suksesvolle Kremetart fietswedren is agter die rug, waar daar genoeg water vir die besoekers én inwoners was. Ons het nie nodig gehad om kanne water iewers te gaan haal of te koop nie. Maar net toe ons dink die waterkwessie is uitgesorteer, daar droog die krane toe sowaar

weer op,” sê mnr. Phillip Olivier, die nuwe SBBV bestuurder.

Op 11 Junie het verskeie ondernemings en inwoners gekla dat hulle alweer nie water het vir die spoel van toilette nie. “Om nie eens te praat van ‘n ketel water vir ‘n koppie koffie nie,” sê Olivier.

Hy het navraag probeer doen by die Makhado Munisipaliteit.

“Jy kry geen verduideliking nie en niemand weet wat aangaan nie, “ was sy ondervinding.

Die munisipale woordvoerder, mnr. Louis Bobodi, het aanvank­

lik gesê dat hy nie bewus was dat daar weer waterprobleme was nie, maar dat hy kennis neem daarvan en dat hy die oorsaak sou uitvind.

“Die sporadiese tekort aan water vandag is veroorsaak deur ‘n tegniese fout by een van die pompstasies,” het Bobodi Din­ sdagmiddag gesê. Hy het ook gesê dat die probleem “intussen opgelos is” en dat water na die reservoirs gepomp word om daarvandaan versprei te word so gou soos wat die vereiste water­ vlak bereik is.

Laerskool Levubu was een van die skole wat op 1 Junie deelgeneem het aan die “Komatiland bewusmaking van Vuur-veldtog” by Entabeni. Tydens die geleentheid kon die leerlinge in die prentjiemooi omgewing hul rympies lees, asook hul kreatiewe skryfwerk voltooi. Die juniors het in die Afrikaanse afdeling deelgeneem en die seniors in die Engelse afdeling. In die foto spog die leerders met hul medaljes.

New M-Class launched

Mercedes’ latest generation M-Class can go for 1 500 kilometres between refills Mercedes-Benz have launched their third-generation M-Class SUVs with permanent allwheel drive.

Not only does the M-Class deliver exceptional safety and well-balanced ride comfort, but excellent driving dynamics, both on and off the road, as well.

What’s more, this new M-Class features an array of new chassis developments and innovative dynamic handling control sys­ tems which further enhance both driving enjoyment and handling safety. A characteristic body design and a variable interior add to the richness of the driving experience in the new M-Class.

The new Mercedes-Benz MClass scores particularly high on energy efficiency, with the new model range consuming between 23% and 28% less fuel than the outgoing models.

One outstanding model is the new ML 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC, which boasts an NEDC consump­ tion of just 6.5litres per /100 km and has a range of up to 1 500km on a full tank. The 4-cylinder engine kicks out 150kW of power and 500Nm of torque.

Other models include the ML 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC V6, the ML 350 4MATIC V6 petrol engine, the ML 500 with the new

V8 direct injection engine and the top-of-the range model for the MClass, the class-leading ML 63 AMG, fitted with the V8 engine that provides 386kW of power and 700Nm of torque.

Even the standard version of the new M-Class offers a high level of comfort, dynamic onroad handling and outstanding off-road capabilities. For the first time, the M-Class chassis with steel suspension features selective damping. The driver is assisted by electric steering, which ensures the optimum level of steering assistance for the cur­ rent driving situation.

For driving off the beaten track, all models are equipped with extensive off-road features as standard, including 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive, 4ETS electronic traction control and an off-road button which acti­ vates a special off-road driving mode. Furthermore, the start-off assist system makes hill starts easier, while the Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) automatically keeps the M Class at the speed set, using the cruise control stalk.

The new M-Class represents the embodiment of the MercedesBenz holistic safety concept of REAL LIFE SAFETY, which is derived primarily from what hap­

pens in a real accident situation.

The extremely robust occupant compartment of the M-Class, together with the front and rear deformation zones, forms an effective basis for the occupant protection system. Up to nine airbags, activated on demand

in accordance with the accident type and accident severity, can reduce the loads exerted on the occupants, in addition to active safety systems, such as the stan­ dard-fit Brake Assist (BAS) or the optional BAS PLUS, which can help to prevent an accident or

reduce the severity of an accident.

As with all Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, the M-Class range comes standard with a MobiloDrive maintenance plan of 6 years or 120 000 km, with prices ranging from R683 500 for the ML 250 BlueTEC 4Matic

model to R1 380 000 for the ML 63 AMG. For more information, phone Jaco Coetzee at Mercurius Mo­ tors Polokwane at Tel 015 299 9500. (Information and photo: www.quickpic.co.za)

They say a change is as good as a holiday, and this is certainly true of the ever-popular Chev Utility, better known as the Corsa bakkie.

According to Imperial GM sales manager Martie Venter in Makhado, the recently mod­ ernised Corsa still remains the top seller in its class.

Chevrolet and Isuzu received gold recognition at the annual IP­ SOS Awards, hosted for the past eight years and seen as setting the benchmark in customer experi­ ence in the automotive industry.

Recognition is given to the outstanding achievers in four categories, namely purchase and service experience in passenger vehicles and purchase and service experience in light commercial vehicles. Both Chev and Isuzu

8-valve engine delivers 68kW of power at 6 000rpm and 120Nm of torque at 3 200rpm, requiring an average of 7.2litres of premium unleaded per 100km.

The slightly larger-capacity 1.8-litre engine is good for 77kW of power at 5 400rpm and 161Nm of torque at 3 000 rpm, with an average thirst of 8.1 litres per 100km. By all accounts, the new Chevrolet Utility looks to have lost none of its inherent qualities and, with its sleek design, will appeal to a wide market. For a limited time only, clients will receive a free canopy when they purchase the Utility 1.4 (without aircon) or the 1.8 (with aircon).

The new Utility is available in three different models, namely Base, Club and Sport. Standard equipment includes colour-coded bumpers, height-adjustable steer­ ing column and driver’s seat, driver and passenger airbags, as well as an immobiliser, while air-condition is an option.

Sales manager Janelle Dreyer of Bridge Auto says the Figo is the perfect choice for students or young people starting a career.

Ford Figo

Ford’s little Figo is cool at a good price On your way to university or just starting off in life with a career and need some wheels? Then the Ford Figo is just the car for you.

“It has all the cool features that younger people enjoy and it will not cost you an arm and a leg,” says Janelle Dreyer, sales manager at Bridge Auto in Makhado.

Available in three 1.4 models, the Ambiente, TDCi Ambiente (diesel) and top-of-the-range Trend, the Figo comes standard with manual air con­ ditioner, radio/CD with auxiliary jack and power steering. Standard safety features on all models include ABS

with EBD brakes, driver and pas­ senger airbags and an immobiliser.

“Even the services are very afford­ able,” says Janelle. The service inter­ vals for the two petrol models are at 20 000km, and the diesel model every 15 000km. Included is a three-year unlimited-kilometre road-assistance plan, four-year or 120 000km com­ prehensive warranty and five-year unlimited corrosion warranty.

Both the Ambiente and Trend’s 1.4 litre engine kicks out 62kW of power at 6 000 rpm and 127Nm of torque at 4 000 rpm, while the 1.4 TDCi Ambiente’s diesel engine delivers

51kW of power at 4 000 and 160Nm of torque at 2 0000 rpm.

The bottom-of-the-range Am­ biente sells from R117 000, which translates to a monthly instalment (without deposit) from R2 200. The Trend, with lots of added extras, such as 175/65 R14 alloy wheels, remoteoperated central locking, body-colour power-adjustable mirrors, front fog lamps and more, retails from R130 000, while the diesel model sells from R132 000.

Eye in the sky to stop rhino poaching The patrolling of the two-million-hectare Kruger National Park (KNP) against rhino poachers received a boost last Tuesday when an ultralight Bantam Aircraft was presented to the park during a ceremony at the Shingwedzi Aircraft Hanger.

The R1,4 million aircraft, as well as night vision equipment, was donated on behalf of the park’s ranger corps by the SAN­ Parks Honorary Rangers.

According to the managing executive of the KNP, Mr Abe Sibiya, the Bantam and other equipment will considerably enhance the effectiveness of Photographed at the Bantam aircraft are, from left to right, Messrs Ben van Eeden (Regional the ranger corps “by providing General Manager: Nxanatsene Area), Marius Rencke (Shingwedzi Section Ranger) and Abe them with tools to patrol over Sibiya (KNP Managing Executive). larger areas.” He said that with

the budget constraints affecting everybody globally, the Bantam would complement the other aircraft already in use.

He added that the park’s antipoaching teams could no longer patrol on foot, bicycle, motor­ bike or in a vehicle only and that they must be able to con­ duct aerial patrols “armed with sophisticated field equipment.”

Sibiya added that in the first five months of this year alone, rhino poached in South Africa had already exceeded 235. He mentioned that it was no secret that the fight against poaching “is ever present and continues today with an intensity that has never been seen before.”

He said the rangers continued to find well-equipped poachers

Apart from the Bantam aircraft and equipment, the honorary rangers also contri­ buted to the operational cost of the Bantam to the value of R100 000. The equipment in­ cludes torches, night vision goggles, thermal binoculars and scope mounts, which will all be used during patrols and other vital anti-poaching work. Sibiya praised the honorary rangers for their determination to continue to make a difference as far as anti-poaching is concerned.

Dankie aan munisipaliteit wat self Moedergemeente se ingange herstel

D

ie NG Kerk Louis Trichardtgemeente se ingange na die ter­ rein is nou reeds vir ‘n geruime tyd in ‘n swak toestand.

Toe ons dus sien dat die muni­ sipaliteit besig is om van die strate te teer, het ons besluit om te vra of hulle aan ons ‘n paar sakke teer kan afstaan, sodat ons self die ingange na die kerkterrein kan herstel.

Groot was ons verbasing tot mnr.

Raqimana dadelik opdrag gee aan Rudi Opperman en sy span om albei die kerk se ingange te herstel en te verseël. Reeds vroeg Dinsdag­ oggend was die munisipale span op ons drumpel en het hulle begin om die ingang in Erasmusstraat reg te maak. Net na middagete was daar ‘n baie netjiese geteerde nuwe ingang en het hulle die stukkende sement plaveiblokke reeds verwyder en

opgeruim.

Vroeg Woensdagoggend was dieselfde span op hulle pos by die Burgerstraat ingang. Gou-gou is die teeroppervlak teenaan die sypaadjie opgevul en verseël en ook die gate is opgevul en verseël. Teen middag­ ete was die werk afgehandel.

Hierdie was vir ons ‘n baie posi­ tiewe gebaar vanaf die kant van die munisipaliteit. Ons kan net getuig van vriendelike en hulpvaardige diens by die ingenieursdepartement en die werk is vinnig en van hoog­ staande standaard afgehandel.

Dankie aan mnre. Ralulimi (direkteur), Raqimana en die span werkers onder leiding van Rudi Op­ perman. Ons waardeer julle hulp.

- Andries Smal (Gemeentebestuurder)

Brief

Hierdie humor is godslasterlik

G

raag word hierdie skrywe aan u gerig namens die Leraarsfo­ rum van Louis Trichardt met ver­ wysing na ‘n publikasie in “Zoutie Giggelgoeters” van 18 Mei 2012 met die opskrif “Modern Baptiz­ ing for youngsters?” Hierin word daar verwys na die Heilige Gees as “hole-he-goes”.

Ons beswaar teen die onsmaak­ like plasing hiervan berus op die volgende: * Die Christen gelowiges wat erkenning en eer aan die Heilige Gees gee in ons wandel met Christus, se sensitiwiteit is nie in ag geneem nie. (U kan u self heri­ nner aan die opslae wat ‘n wyle terug gemaak is toe daar gespot is met Muhammed van die Moslemgeloof. Die vraag is: wat sou die reaksie van die Moslem geloof wees indien die Zoutpansberger ook onsensitiewe publikasies maak rondom hul geloof?) * Aangesien die Skrif duidelik uitspraak lewer rondom lastering teen die Heilige Gees, word oneer aan die Heilige Gees in hierdie publikasie gebring. Die mens het geen mandaat om die karakter van die Heilige Gees op welke wyse

Dit is ‘n klad op ons jeug se naam

V

erlede week het ‘n paar hoër­ skoolseuns by my DVD-winkel kom rekenaarspeletjies speel, nadat hulle met eksamen klaar was.

Ek was buite die winkel besig om borde te plak wat moes klaar. Later die aand toe ek my skootrekenaar soek wat in my voorhuis gekoppel was en waarop al my agtergrond­ musiek was, moes ek tot my ont­

steltenis agterkom dat dit gesteel is.

Ek vra dus die seuns wat skuldig is om dit op een of ander manier asseblief terug te besorg, asook my GPS wat op ‘n vorige tydstip ook verdwyn het. Dit is ‘n klad op ons jeug se naam.

ookal te reduseer tot dit wat in u publikasie uitgebeeld is nie. * Ons beskou die Zoutpansberger as ‘n gemeenskapskoerant wat deur alle ouderdomme gelees word, maar deur hierdie pub­ likasie kan dit afbreek doen aan die agting, respek en vrees wat ons as mens moet toon teenoor God en Sy Woord. * Gepaste en oordeelkundige humor is nodig op sy tyd maar kan nie gekompromiteer word met dit wat vir ons as Christen gelowiges van waarde is en wat vir ons as vrymakende waarhede belangrik geag word nie.

In ‘n gees van broederskap wil ons derhalwe ‘n vriendelike dog baie dringende versoek tot u rig om voortaan groter sensitiwiteit aan die dag te lê wanneer pla­ sings oorweeg word. Die huidige plasing waarna verwys word in hierdie skrywe dra ongelukkig nie ons as Leraarsforum se goedkeu­ ring weg nie.

Vriendelike groete Dr Philip Venter (voorsitter: Leraarsforum)

“They walked the extra mile for me”

I

have always believed that good service should be highlighted and made public as we are so used to getting poor service.

Recently, I had an overheating - Attie Engelbrecht (Makhado) problem with my little Hyundai Atos.

With the help of Messrs Amed Karim (owner), Deon de Jager (workshop manager), Riaan Schle­ busch (service adviser) and Willie Horn (mechanic) of Hyundai in Makhado, the car was fixed under

How many of you know the etymology of the most common equivalent of ‘manure’?

In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship. This was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common on the high seas.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet. But once water (at sea) hit it in the lower sections of the hold, not only did it become heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is methane gas, of course.

As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below deck and the first time someone came

below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before the cause of the problem was determined.

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the instruction: ‘Stow high in transit’ on them, which meant for the sailors to stow this cargo high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch the volatile material and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term ‘S.H.I.T.’, (Stow High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

You probably did not know the true history of this word.

Neither did I. I had always thought it was a golfing term.

Do you have a good joke? E-mail it to andries@zoutnet.co.za Het jy ‘n goeie grappie?

D

it is vir die Here belangrik dat Sy kinders Hom vertrou. Daarom is die geloofslewe altyd ‘n “offer”-lewe.

Hebreërs 11:6 sê: “As ‘n mens nie glo nie, is dit onmoontlik om te doen wat God wil.”

Toe Jesus gesê het as iemand Sy dis­ sipel wil wees, moet hy homself verloën, sy kruis elke dag opneem en Hom volg, het Hy bedoel ons moet onsself ledig van alles, ook die goeie, want niks moet in die pad staan van die beste nie. Die beste is Jesus self.

Ook dit wat ons van God ontvang moet aan God toevertrou en geoffer word, hoe kosbaar dit ookal vir ons mag wees.

Jakobus 2:21-23 leer ons geloof word volmaak deur die werke wat geloof doen.

Vers 22 sê: “Jy sien dus dat sy geloof met dade gepaard gegaan het en dat dit eers deur dade volkome geword het.”

Die dade sê vers 21 was dat Abraham sy seun, Isak, op die altaar gelê het.

Abraham was meer as 40 jaar by God ‘n leerling in die skool van geloof en toe slaag hy sy grootste toets; hy is bereid om Isak te offer, want hy het geglo God is by magte om uit die dood op te wek.

Jakobus 2:23b sê: “en hy is ‘n vriend van God genoem.”

Vertrou jy God so dat jy alles op die altaar sal plaas vir Hom?

As there was a problem with the warranty, the trouble that these gentlemen went to to have the claim approved is really appreciated.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to these four gentlemen and I will certainly do business with Hyundai Makhado when I need to buy another car.

Cycle Centre verdien ‘n pluimpie

B

aie dankie aan Mohammed, Bobby en Mohammed (jr.) van Cycle Centre vir julle onbaatsugtige opoffering en hulp Saterdagoggend met die Kremetart fietsresies.

Om 06:00 vind een van ons vriende van Rustenburg uit dat sy net een skoen het vir haar fiets.

Gelukkig het ek Mohammed se sel­ foonnommer en sy reaksie: “Geen probleem, kry jou by die winkel.”

Twee minute voor haar bestemde

wegspring kon ons haar aflaai. By Waterpoort het die onderhoudspan die finale verstellings aan die skoene gedoen en kon sy ry.

Ons besoekers was net vol lof vir die hulp en wyse waarop hulle gehelp is en ek was ongelooflik trots op Mohammed en sy personeel. Wat ‘n wonderlike advertensie vir ons dorp!

Follow Dr Venter on his Freedom quest Early on Monday morning (18th), a local doctor will embark on a quest to cycle 2 300 km across South Africa, starting at Pietermaritzburg and ending in Wellington in the Western Cape. His challenge will be more than just a physical and mental race against time and the elements; it will also be a challenge to collect money for a local cancer charity.

Dr Casper Venter is one of the roughly 50 mountainbikers who entered for this year’s gruelling Freedom Challenge. The Free­ dom Challenge is considered to be one of the world’s toughest endurance events, where com­ petitors have to find their way through valleys, cross rivers and conquer several mountains to eventually finish in the Boland, some 2 300 kilometres later. No modern navigation equipment such as handheld GPS devices are allowed and they only have maps to help find their way from one overnight point to another.

They also have only 26 days in which to finish the route to claim

the coveted Basotho blanket handed to all competitors who manage to finish this race.

The overnight points are roughly 100 kilometres apart and riders try and reach these be­ fore nightfall. Prior to the race, riders must pack all their extra clothes, spares, food supple­ ments and even medication in 20 two-litre ice cream containers.

These containers are then sent ahead and placed at some of the overnight stations. The riders need to carry whatever else they need on their backs or attach it to the bikes. The recordholder is Alex Harris, who finished the race in 12 days and 15 hours.

Dr Casper Venter has been preparing for the challenge for many months now. He is espe­ cially worried about the weather conditions the riders are about to encounter on the route. Last week, snow started falling in the mountainous areas and the tem­ perature dropped to -12º Celsius at places. He has no fewer than four pairs of gloves to help pro­ tect him against the cold.

During this challenge, Dr

Venter is trying to collect more than R100 000 for a local can­ cer charity, the Makhado Care Group. Several businesses and individuals have already agreed to sponsor him for every ki­ lometre he completes. “This will motivate me and help me to carry on and reach the finish line,” said Casper last week.

The Zoutpansberger has also created a web page where read­ ers can follow his progress. The address is www.zoutpansberger. co.za/node/freedomchallenge, or simply follow the link from the Home Page. The page has a map that will indicate his latest position tracked. All riders have a Netstar tracking device that transmits co-ordinates at certain intervals. Dr Venter will also upload pictures and comments, which will be displayed here.

Alternatively, readers can visit his blog site at www.freedom­ challenge2012.com.

Individuals or businesses who want to sponsor him can contact members of the Makhado Care Group or call him at (015) 516 4871.

The past weekend saw some 2 000 cyclists descend on Makhado for participation in the 22nd annual PPC Kremetart Cycle races.

For many it was an epic ride, which saw early-morning smiles disappear as each of the four stages of the 175km main event took more and more out of riders.

A chilly and strong side wind in the Waterpoort/Vivo stage also

did not make it easier for riders, and by lunchtime, many were already minutes off their pace compared to previous years.

Saturday’s strong wind did not, however, deter the top names and teams in South African cycling, with team Tasol GT putting in a strong performance to take three of the four stages in the senior men’s race. Tasol GT’s David Maree clinched the yel­ low jersey in the first 53km stage from Makhado to Waterpoort,

with Willie Smith from team Toyota CSA cycling home in second place and Hanco Kachellhoffer (Tasol GT) in third place. Team Tasol also did well to secure teammate Nolan Hoff­ man a stage win in the relatively flat Waterpoort-to-Vivo stage. It was between him and team Bo­ nitas’s Johan Rabie at the sprint to the finish, with Rabie finish­ ing second and Maree clinching third place.
