Ring beskuldig Algemene Sinode se Moderatuur dat hulle meedoen aan

Karaktermoord op boere Deur Andries van Zyl Die NG Ring van Louis Trichardt het hulleself die afgelope week sterk uitgespreek oor die dreigen de gewapende en gewelddadige verset oor plaasmoorde wat tans in die land afspeel, maar in ‘n interessante omwenteling het hulle die skuld daarvoor deels voor die deur van die NG Kerk se Algemene Sinode se Moderatuur (ASM) gelê. Die Ring het Dinsdag in ‘n sterk-bewoorde verklaring hulle teleurstelling uitgespreek oor die “verleentheid” wat die ASM hulle nou veroorsaak met uitsprake oor plaasmoorde, en die huidige verset oor plaasmoorde, ná die moord op die jong boer Brendin Horner van Paul Roux. “Uit die kring van die ASM is daar ‘n uitspraak teen die President van die land gemaak dat hy in ‘n morele dilemma oor plaasmoorde sou wees, terwyl in hierdie uitspraak dit die eerste keer was dat uit die kring van ASM erken was dat party plaasmoorde ‘n eiesoortige karakter, anders as gewone misdaad, sou hê,” sê die Ring (Beeld van 28 Julie 2020). Voor dit, sê die Ring, was die eiesoortige karakter van plaasmoorde deur die kerk “doelbewus doodgeswyg met die misplaaste opvatting dat plaasmoorde ‘gewone misdaad’ is. In dieselfde verklaring word die President beskuldig van ‘ontkenning deur veralgemenings.’ Nou is daar sopas weer uit die kring van die ASM die

standpunt gestel dat die meeste plaasmoorde gewone misdaad is, maar dat party uit rasse-woede plaasvind”. Volgens die Ring is hierdie “onbeholpe morele standpunte uit die kring van die ASM, dat die eiesoortigheid van plaasmoorde rasse-woede is” misplaas en gevaarlik vir die landbougemeenskap en die hele land. “Dit is net so goed soos om bende-geweld, taxi-geweld, stamgeweld, die munisipale geweld in landelike gebiede en die geweld van studente-opstande toe te skryf aan rasse-woede. Hierdie misplaaste morele oordeel wys op hoe hierdie saak tot nou binne die kring van die ASM self ontken en vermy is. Iets waarvan die President van ons land nou goedsmoeds uit hierdie kring voor verwyt word,” sê die Ring. Hulle het bygevoeg dat om die werklike eiesoortigheid van plaasmoorde as rasse-woede te veralgemeen, presies net die tipe ontkenning is waarvan die ASM nou die President van beskuldig. “Hierdie veralgemening uit die kring van die ASM vuur rassisme aan en spreek nie die werklike probleem van plaasmoorde aan nie,” sê die Ring. Die Ring sê in hul verklaring dat hulle reeds op 6 Maart 2006 plaasmoorde aangespreek het as strukturele verontmensliking van die landbougemeenskap in ‘n amptelike verklaring. “Strukturele verontmensliking vind plaas deur die regering, besighede, gemeen-

skappe en kerke wat landbouers uitmaak as mense wat hulle plase onwettig beset teenoor die regmatige eienaars. Daardeur is landbouers openbaar gebrandmerk as kriminele wat nie met die reg van die staat, die gemenereg of die kerk se geloof op hul eienaarskap kan aanspraak maak, of om só gerespekteer

te word nie. In hierdie karaktermoord het die regering, besighede, gemeenskappe en kerke, wat die NG Kerk insluit, tot nou toe lustig meegedoen. Nog onlangs is daar uit die kring van die ASM die suggestie gemaak dat die landbouers moet saamwerk as deel van burgerlike versoening met die onteie-

ning van hul plase sonder vergoeding deur die regering,” sê die Ring. Die Ring sê dat hierdie karaktermoord uit alle kringe veroorsaak dat kriminele hulleself die reg toeëien om plaasmoorde te pleeg as ‘n vorm van regstellende aksie. (Vervolg op p. 2)

Ring waarsku teen wanbeeld oor Senekal “veldslag” (Vervolg op p. 2) “In hulle misdaad volvoer hulle die karaktermoord wat reeds op boere gepleeg is deur die regering, besighede en kerke,” sê die Ring. Landbouers se onmag teenoor hierdie karaktermoord, sê die Ring, word gedemonstreer deur wrede mishandeling en die uitstalling van hul lyke as onwettige en moedswillige grondbesetters. “Die regering, gemeenskappe en kerke kan dít egter nie só erken nie, want dan moet hulle met hul eie grypsug en misplaaste versoeningsbeelde ophou,” sê die Ring. Die Ring sê voorts in hulle verklaring dat hulle reeds sedert 2006 probeer om die NG Kerk aan te spreek oor hulle misplaaste morele standpunt en leiding te gee. Dit, sê die Ring, is in amptelike vergaderings van die NG Kerk doodgeswyg met die opvatting dat plaasmoorde gewone misdaad is en geen eiesoortigheid wys nie. “Om hierdie strukturele verontmensliking en verontregting nou weer te ontken deur te maak asof die eiesoortigheid in rasse-woede gesetel is, is ‘n manier waarop die ASM hulself verontskuldig. Dit is nie die morele leiding wat hulle aan die gemeenskap moet gee nie. Dit regverdig net hulle vooropgesette beeld om deur versoening rassisme te wil fasiliteer, terwyl hul self oorsaaklik aan die karakter-

moord op landbouers is,” sê die Ring. Die Ring het bygevoeg dat hulle net so teleurgesteld is in die wyse waarop daar uit die kring van die ASM nou skielik op die geweld op Senekal ingespeel word asof dit ‘n geleentheid is om georganiseerde verset teen plaasmoorde en korrupsie te begin. “Hiermee sanksioneer hulle die wanbeeld van verset wat nou aangevuur word en spreek weer nie die werklike morele probleem aan nie, terwyl hulle ook geen leiding gee oor hoe Bybelse verset moet lyk nie,” sê die Ring en voeg weereens by dat hulle reeds sedert 1997 leiding gegee het vir die vorming van die Noordelike Sinode se amptelike beleid oor Gereformeerde verset van 17 Oktober 2008. Volgens die Ring veroorsaak gebeure tans ‘n wanbeeld. “Die wanbeeld is dat mense uit alle kringe nou ‘n gedramatiseerde veldslag op Senekal fantaseer en organiseer, met sentimente van Bloedrivier en ander oorwinnings. Vir hierdie geromantiseerde veldslag moet mense hulself nou as offers aanmeld om deur anonieme leiers op selfone in slagordes opgestel te word. Hierdie godsdienstige-politieke drama sal werklike effektiewe verset teen die regering oneindige skade aandoen,” sê die Ring. Die Ring verduidelik in hul verklaring dat verset teen die regering ‘n godsdienstige plig is

wat oor jare en dekades volgens vaste waardes uitgevoer moet word. “Dit is nie godsdienstige dramas wat kragdadigheid vertoon nie. Om ‘n Bloukrans vir mense op Senekal te organiseer wat ‘n Bloedrivier fantaseer, is net so koelbloe dig soos om ‘n plaasmoord te pleeg,” sê die Ring. Die Ring het afgesluit deur te sê dat hulle onderneem om, soos hulle dit sedert 2006 reeds doen, steeds hul lidmate te lei om die eiesoortige karaktermoord waarmee openbare instellings hulle die slagoffers van kriminele maak, aan te spreek, en saam met hulle hulself teen hierdie bloeddorstigheid sal beveilig en sal verweer. “Ons onderneem ook dat ons, soos ons dit al sedert 2006 doen, ons volgens die waardes van ons Gereformeerde geloof teen die regering se kleptokrasie en onderdrukking sal verset. Dit sal ons met passiewe verset doen, en wanneer dit ‘n kollektiewe, verantwoordbare onderneming van die gemeenskap is, dit ook met verantwoordbare aktiewe verset doen. Dit sal ons probeer doen in samewerking met die Noordelike Sinode van die NG Kerk om buite die huidige disfunksionele moraliteit uit die kring van die ASM van die NG Kerk en opportunistiese anargiste te bly,” sê die Ring.

daardie streek aan. Uit hierdie data kies hulle dan weer ‘n klein persentasie van die beste boere landswyd, waaruit die nasionale wenners aangewys word. Die toekennings is geskoei op 2019 se syfers. Beoordeling vind egter nie net plaas ten opsigte van melkkwaliteit nie, maar die hele kuddebestuur, wat talle faktore insluit. Weereens, in Limpopo Melkery se geval, is die Holstein Te lersgenootskap se puntegradering vir beeste ook gebruik by die bepaling van die beste genetiese kudde. “Dit is nie iets waarvoor jy kan inskryf nie. Dit is maar net hulle manier om erkenning terug te gee aan die bedryf elke jaar,” het Fourie gesê. Om ‘n goeie genetiese kudde op te bou, kom nie oornag nie. “Hierdie goed kom oor ‘n lang tyd. So, ‘n ou wat vandag begin goeie bulle gebruik gaan my nooit vang nie, want ek gaan hom altyd voorbly. As ek 10 jaar gelede begin het om swak bulle te gebruik, sou ons nie nou die toekenning gekry het nie,” het Fourie gesê. Hy het verder verduidelik dat vaste kriteria bestaan waaraan hulle teelproses moet voldoen. “Ons bulsaad voer ons van die beste in die wêreld af in. Dit versterk jou kudde, gee meer melk en maak koeie meer vrugbaar … Wat die genetika betref - dit is maar hoe jy teel. Om die beste bul by die beste koei te sit,” het Fourie gesê. Opsigself is die toekenning ‘n groot eer vir Fourie. “Dit wys dat jy al vir jare dinge reg doen. Bygesê, ek skryf nie vir ‘n kompetisie in nie. Meeste van die kompetisie waaraan ons deelneem is van ouens wat ons data vat en ons daarvolgens pryse as erkenning gee. Ek hou van sulke kompetisie. Dit is ‘n maatstaaf om te bepaal of ek dinge reg doen of nie,” het Fourie gesê. Die toekennings word tradisioneel jaarliks gedoen tydens die Bloemfontein Skou, maar weens die Covid-19 pandemie het die skou nie vanjaar plaasgevind nie. ‘n Virtuele prysuitdeling is derhalwe op 25 September gehou. Ander kategorieë waarin toekennings gemaak is, het ingesluit Stoetkudde van die Jaar toekennings vir melkbeeste, vleisbeeste, kleinvee, perde, en ander rasse. Toekennings vir Toetredende Teler van die jaar en 2020 Mentor Teler van die Jaar is ook gemaak.

Sy paraat het. “Uiteindelik sal ek kan hoor! Sonder het as gevolg van masels wat sy op ‘n baie jong die jarelange ondersteuning van my man Charl, ouderdom opgedoen het - so het die dokters my moeder Marie Warrington, my werkgewers destyds gesê - haar gehoor verloor. Marius en Esté Pretorius van McDoman ChemiAs Graad 1-leerling aan die Laerskool cal en baie ander vriende, sou dinge nie dieselfde Wespark in Pretoria is sy beskou as disrespekvol gewees het nie,” sê Leonie dankbaar. “Ek was al teenoor die onderwyser – min wetende dat sy die jare baie skaam oor my gebrek, vanweë die eintlik doof is. “In daardie dae is kinders se ore voortdurende geterg. Dit voel of ‘n wonderwerk by skole getoets. Tóé eers is vasgestel dat ek ‘n gehoorprobleem het,” sê Leonie. “Op skool (en selfs daarna) het dit bitter moeilik gegaan. Nie net die feit dat ek nie kon hoor nie, maar die gedurige geterg was soms ondraaglik,” voeg sy by. Leonie onthou met ‘n dankbare hart dat haar oorlede pa die een was wat, selfs al het hy nagskof gewerk, haar na afsprake byvoorbeeld by die oor-, neus- en keelkliniek in Pretoria geneem het. Destyds het medici vir haar gesê dat, indien sy ‘n gehoorapparaat sou kry, die regteroor sou oorkompenseer vir die dowe oor – wat nooit gebeur het nie omdat sy nie ‘n gehoorapparaat gekry het nie. Leonie het in haar vroeë twintigerjare (ongeveer 1996) weer vir ‘n gehoortoets gegaan. ‘n Operasie sou toe min of meer R40 000 kos. Sedertdien het Leonie vrede gemaak met haar gehoorprobleem en leef al byna 46 jaar saam met hierdie gebrek. Groot was die verrassing toe sy tóg maar die kans gevat het om weer haar ore te laat toets nadat sy die skenking ontvang het.

Leonie wil graag die boodskap aan die gemeenskap deurgee dat gebruikte gehoorapparate wél vir iemand anders gebruik kan word. “Mense dink dat jy nie iemand anders se apparaat kan gebruik nie. Ek het self so gedink. Neem hierdie apparate na die spesialiskamers waar Kind 2 Hearing twee maal per maand besoek aflê.

Familie en vriende het die afgelope week met hartseer afskeid geneem van die 50-jarige Le tisha Elizabeth Venter. Sy is Saterdagmiddag, 10 Oktober, by haar huis in Louis Trichardt aan nierversaking oorlede waar haar familie haar in haar laaste oomblikke bygestaan het. Letisha het op Mopane grootgeword, nadat haar ouers daarheen verhuis het. Sy het ook haar laerskoolloopbaan by Mopane Laerskool voltooi, waarna sy in 1987 aan Hoërskool Louis Trichardt gematrikuleer het. Ná skool het sy vir Binnelandse Sake in Pretoria gaan werk. Dit is ook hier waar sy haar man, Johan Venter, ontmoet het. Letisha en Johan het in die vroeë 1990’s na Louis Trichardt teruggekeer, waar sy en Johan op 25 Januarie 1995 getroud is. Johan was veral bekend in die plaaslike meubelhandel, terwyl Letisha onder meer onderbestuurder was van die plaaslike Edgars-tak en later bestuurder van die plaaslike Foschini-tak. Sy het ook in ‘n stadium haar eie besigheid, Tasty Snacks, vir lank suksesvol bedryf. In die laat 1990’s het Letisha en Johan eers na Tzaneen verhuis en toe in 2004 na Welkom. Sy het egter in 2015 ná Johan se dood na Louis Trichard teruggekeer waar sy haar ma, Lena Otto, versorg het. Letisha se gesondheid het egter self die laaste paar jaar dramaties agteruit gegaan. ‘n Roudiens vir wyle Letisha sal Donderdag, 15 Oktober, om 11:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Soutpansberg-gemeente gehou word. Sy word oorleef deur haar ma Lena en broers en suster Rudi, Pietman, Rika en Ria, asook aangetroude familie. Die familie het almal bedank vir hulle woorde van vertroos Wyle Letisha Venter ting en ondersteuning (50). Foto verskaf. in hierdie moeilike tyd.

In Memoriam

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 16 OCTOBER 2020

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe “… sodat ons kan wees tot lof van sy heerlikheid …” Efesiërs 1:12.

od se liefde moet deur ons in aksie kom “tot lof van sy heerlikheid”. God se doel waarom Hy ons met alle geestelike seëninge in die hemele in Christus geseën het, is dat ons saam met alle ander gereddes tot lof van sy heerlikheid kan wees. Sy heerlikheid in die kerk of gemeente was eers in ander tye ‘n verborgenheid, maar nou ‘n openbaring wat Christus aan Paulus bekendgemaak het. Alle geredde gelowiges is tot een nuwe mens in Hom geskep (Efesiërs 2:10,15). Wat ‘n onthulling. Die heerlikheid van sy wysheid het God aan die owerhede en mate in die hemel vertoon, nie om aan hulle die menigvuldige wonders van sy groot skepping te wys nie, maar die meesterstuk van sy nuwe skepping, die kerk, waarvan Hy self die Hoeksteen is (Efesiërs 2:20). In die tye wat verby is, het God sy wysheid en krag deur die skepping van die heelal bekend gemaak, maar sy liefde en genade aan almal deur die nuwe skepping van sy bruidsgemeente. Die heerlikheid van sy eenheid in die “Kerk” word deur die eenheid van die Hoeksteen met al die stene gedemonstreer, as almal tot ‘n heilige tempel vir die Here verrys. God het een heilige tempel, met baie stene. Liefde verbind die stene aan mekaar deur elkeen aan die Hoeksteen te verbind. Daarom kan ons mekaar in liefde verdra (Efesiërs 4:2), met mekaar in liefde die waarheid spreek (4:15) en in liefde die groei van die liggaam bevorder vir sy eie opbouing in liefde (4:16). Wat ‘n voorreg en verantwoordelikheid! - Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

Hoofnuus op die voorblad van 20 Oktober 1995 was die vakbond COSATU se dreigement dat hulle besighede in Louis Trichardt gaan boikot indien die stadsraad nie dadelik weer die munisipale werkers aanstel wat twee weke vantevore afgedank is nie. Die werkers is afgedank nadat hulle begin staak het uit simpatie met werkers by ander munisipaliteite. Die ANC-beheerde Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad het besluit om die werkers af te dank, aangesien die staking volgens hulle onwettig was. In ‘n skrywe aan die oorgangsraad het COSATU aangevoer dat hulle ondersteun sal word deur die SACP, ANC en SANCO, maar die ANC in die toe Noordstreek het in antwoord gesê hulle dra geen kennis van die boikot nie en sal dit ook nie ondersteun nie. Die plaaslike belastingbetalersvereniging het op hulle beurt ‘n brief geskryf vir die oorgangsraad waarin hulle hul afkeur uitspreek teenoor die raad oor hul besluit om verder met die afgedankte werkers in gesprek te tree. In ander nuus op die voorblad is berig van die Gautengse premier, mnr Tokyo Sexwale, wat die eerste premier geword het om deur die klankgrens te vlieg. Hy het dié prestasie behaal tydens ‘n vlug in ‘n Cheetah D-vegvliegtuig bokant die destydse Lugmagbasis Louis Trichardt.

Na 30 dae in ‘n psigiatriese inrigting is daar bevind dat hy wel tereg kan staan vir die moord op die 21-jarige Sonia Liebenberg en 20-jarige Gertruida Breedt vroeër daardie selfde jaar.

As deel van die seremonie is ‘n spesiale naamplaatjie op die skool se gedenkmuur vir Ryan aange bring. Die jong Ryan het op 23 Augustus vanjaar sy stryd teen kanker verloor. Terwyl Ryan egter nog in die hospitaal was vir behandeling, het hy besoek ontvang van die nie-winsgewende organisasie Paws 4 U. Hy het regtig die besoeke waardeer en het baie plesier uit die honde geput wat spesifiek opgelei is om ondersteuning en bemoediging aan kankerlyers te bied. As ‘n waarde-gedrewe skool het me. Irene

Adendorff tydens die geleentheid gesê dat hulle deur Ryan se moedigheid ook aangemoedig is om ander te help. Hulle het besluit om ‘n prefekprojek te loods namens Ryan as deel van kinderkankermaand en die gemeenskap het behoorlik hul harte en hande oopgemaak. ‘n Totaal van R70 000 is met die projek ingesamel. Die helfte hiervan (R35 000) is tydens Vrydag se seremonie aan die span van Paws 4 U oorhandig, terwyl die ander helfte aan die Makhado Care Group geskenk is. Tydens die geleentheid is Ryan se ouers, Tony en Charlotte, asook suster Jade, ‘n vergroting gegee van klein Ryan se interaksie met die Paws 4 U honde. Sy klasmaats van die Graad 0-klassie het daarna ook elk ‘n protea gaan neerlê by die gedenkmuur ter nagedagtenis aan Ryan.

‘n Gedenkdiens is verlede Vrydag vir die 6-jarige Ryan Burchell by Laerskool Louis Trichardt gehou. Tydens die geleentheid het sy familie, pa Tony, ma Charlotte en suster Jade, sy naam plaatjie op die skool se gedenkmuur onthul.

Die Paws 4 U span, afgeneem saam met oorlede Ryan Burchell se ouers en sussie. Voor, van links na regs, is Ilse Kadur met Mattfield, Eileen Calvert met Penny, Chris Begbie met Chase en Trish Keegan met Morgan. After hulle staan Charlotte, Tony en Jade Burchell. Paws 4 U het R35 000 ontvang wat ingesamel is tydens die prefekteprojek ten bate van kinderkanker maand.

Laerskool Louis Trichardt se hoofleiers het tydens die geleentheid ook R35 000 oorhandig aan Jernay McLeod en Angela Brennan van die Makhado Care Group. Van links na regs is Derrick Barnard, Bennita Rheeder, Angela, Jernay, Irene Adendorff (waarnemende skool hoof ), Jannes van der Goot en Liné Schlesinger.

The draw for the winner in the CheckU WinaTV competition took place on Monday and the 50” LED television was won by Ms Patience Simali. Here she is being congratulated by a staff member of CheckU in Louis Trichardt, Mr Makoma Matodzi.

Help om hul jaar spesiaal te maak A new fastfood franchise, Mochachos, opened in the Makhado Grove centre in Songozwi Street, next to Checkers. The Mochachos brand first appeared in South Africa in 1994. This store was one of the first outlets in South Africa to offer Mexican dishes. The food outlets quickly became popular and today, Mochachos franchises can also be found in Botswana, Zambia, Mauritius and Australia. The Mochachos Chicken Villages concept is based on “MexicanFlavoured, FlameGrilled Chicken”, combined with a specialised Mexican Foods menu. The brand’s core product is flamegrilled Mexican Spiced Chicken, but the flavoursome chicken burgers are quite a hit in South Africa. The menu also involves a range of delicious and nutritious burgers, schwarmas and various Mexican meals, including the Buritto, Fajita and Chimichangas. According to the local store manager, Thendo Magadani, they were pleasantly surprised by the response of the local market. Local businesses quickly responded and ordered food for staff and for functions. On Monday, the friendly staff of the local outlet posed for a quick photo. Left: Ms Mavis Mbuvha from Makwarela is the lucky winner in the CTM WinaBakkie competi tion. The names of customers who bought goods worth more than R5 000 (which included a PRO GRIP product) from CTM were entered into the draw. Ms Mbuvha won a new Ford Ranger to the value of R356 000. In the photo are, from left to right, Chris Ralufhe (store manager at Thohoyandou CTM), Ms Mavis Mbuvha (win ner), Mashudu Nemagavhani (inhouse auditor from CTM’s head office) and Pastor Livingstone Simango (director of CTM). The official handing over was held last Saturday at Thohoyandou. Photo supplied.

Skenkings gevra Soos almal weet het 2020 se matriekleerlinge as gevolg van die Covid19 pandemie nie veel van ‘n matriek jaar gehad nie – ‘n jaar wat veronderstel is om die hoogtepunt van hulle skool loopbaan te wees. In ‘n poging om Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se matriekleerlinge se jaar darem bietjie meer spesiaal te probeer maak, het die Realty 1 Eiendomsagentskap in Louis Trichardt besluit om die gemeenskap te betrek by ‘n projek om die matrieks sterkte toe te wens met die

komende eindeksamen deur vir hulle geskenkpakkies te pak. Skenkings vir die pakkies word egter benodig. Die lys van opsies vir items vir die pakkie sluit in Hug in a Mug sakkies of Cappuccino sakkies, biltong- of droëworspakkies, ‘n sakboekie, skryfbehoeftes en liniaal, ‘n Energade of Powerade energiedrankie, waterbottels, pakkies tjips, lekkergoed, kaartjies van bemoediging of selfs lipsalf. “Enige voorstelle of skenkings sal egter waardeer word,” het die span by Realty 1 gesê. Persone wat belangstel om die projek te ondersteun is welkom

om promosie-artikels te gee wat hul besighede adverteer. “Daar is 125 matrieks en daarom vra ons dat elke besigheid net ten minste 25 items van hul keuse skenk vir die leerlinge. Deur dit so op te deel, is dit nie so ‘n groot uitgawe per borg nie, aangesien ons verstaan dat fondse skraps is in hierdie tyd,” het die Realty 1 span gesê. Vir meer inligting, skakel Realty 1 op Louis Trichardt by tel. 015 516 3160. Enige een van die personeellede sal behulpsaam kan wees. Die sluitingsdatum vir skenkings is 16 Oktober.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN JC Krogh - The maker of peace?

By Anton van Zyl

ooner or later we had to get to Krogh Street, which is, after all, the “main” street in town. It used to be the route to the north, leading through Louis Trichardt and passing the important shops, the banks and the post office. Whether Johannes Christoffel Krogh ever visited the town is not certain, but it is very likely. At one stage in his career (in 1904) he was the magistrate for the Waterberg district and he also had several family ties with local Boer families. JC Krogh’s most notable achievement, as far as historians are concerned, is that he was one of the signatories to the Vereeniging Peace Treaty that marked the end of the Anglo Boer War in 1902. Along with Louis Botha, FW Reitz, JH de la Rey, SW Burger and LJ Meyer, he represented the ZAR during the negotiations. The Krogh family is of Danish origin and first arrived on local shores in 1794 when a young surgeon, Johannes Christoffel Krogh, accompanied his uncle, Dr Zoomers, on a trip to southern

Africa. He seemed to have liked the new country and in 1803 married Hester, the daughter of Petrus Ignatius Maré. This was also a quick introduction to the Voortrekker leaders, as his wife’s uncle was married to Johanna Magdalena Pretorius, sister of the well-known Commandant-General Andries Pretorius. The subject of our story, Johannes Christoﬀel (jr), was born on 6 September 1846 in Somerset East. He went to school in Uitenhage and later studied at the South African College in Cape Town. When he was only 23 years old he moved to the newly established town of Pretoria to start his career in the government services as a clerk. Four years later, in 1873, he married Maria Meintjies. In March 1877, the then president of the ZAR, TF Burgers, appointed him as public prosecutor for the Pretoria district. In the same year, T Shepstone marched into Pretoria to annex it for the British government. In August 1877, the “Secretary to the Government”, Mr M Osborn, writes a letter to Krogh to “appoint you, without

In this week’s story we go for the “main artery” of the town: Krogh Street. As has become customary, we deviate and we also look at the role the street itself played in the past hundred years. A special word of thanks to the Hugh Exton Photographic Museum in Polokwane. This museum, managed by the Polokwane Municipality, houses over 23 000 negatives and original photographs. Many of the photos were taken by the legendary photographer, Hugh Exton, who lived to be 91 years old. The collection also includes photos taken in the Soutpansberg district between 1892 and 1945. When we asked the museum staff for some photos they responded very quickly and sent us a couple of absolutely amazing prints. A history series such as this one relies on the goodwill and assistance of private collectors and museums. The various municipalities also play an important role in this regard. Some of the municipalities are terrible when it comes to preserving history and also at making it accessible to residents. It is thus such a delight dealing with the Polokwane Municipality and their very competent staff. If you have some old photos of the region, please tell us about these. These are all memories that were once captured by an individual. Dozens of years later we can all still enjoy and appreciate these memories (if you make them available). Please send contributions, Krogh Street questions and even criticism (if you must) to anton@ zoutnet.co.za.

salary, to act as Registrar of the HIGH Court of Pretoria during the absence of Mr. Haggard on Circuit.” Krogh became magistrate in the Pretoria court in May 1878, following the resignation of William Skinner. He served in this position for more than three years, before being appointed magistrate of Wakkerstroom in August 1881. He stayed in this district for almost 14 years, after which he was appointed as the “Special Commissaris” (Special Commissioner) of Swaziland. One of his first tasks was to help demarcate the border between the ZAR and Swaziland. The beacon north of the Mbuluzi River is still called “Krogh’s Beacon”. When the Anglo Boer War broke out in 1899, his knowledge of the country, especially Swaziland and the adjacent areas, became very useful. On 23 August 1901, while still in the field, JC Krogh was elected to the executive council of the ZAR. It was also in this capacity that he participated in the negotiations to end the threeyear-long war. Interestingly enough his signature on the peace treaty had the title “Vrederegter der ZAR” (Peace Officer of the ZAR) below it.

After the war, Krogh was appointed as magistrate in Lichtenburg and in 1904 he became magistrate in the Waterberg district. When the Union of South Africa was formed in 1910, Krogh became a senator and moved to Cape Town. He died on May 5, 1921. The story of Krogh may have ended here, but that’s not the way life works. People often “live on” through the legacy of their children, and in this case perhaps the grandchildren. JC Krogh had a very interesting grandson, who helped shaped the future of a young democracy some decades later. JC Krogh’s daughter, Elizabeth, married an attorney, James Louis Steyn Berrangé, and they had a son, Vernon Celliers Berrangé, who was born during the Anglo Boer War, on 25 November 1900. This son of theirs was later described as the “defender of the

He also became more and more involved in high-profile political cases, such as the Alexandra bus boycott, the African mine workers’ strike and the Alexander Libel Trial. The Treason Trial of the late 1950s caused Berrangé to become a household name among certain sectors of the community. The Nationalist Party government arrested 156 people and charged them with high treason. The names of the accused included those of Oliver Tambo, Nelson Mandela, Chief Albert Luthuli and Helen Joseph. In March 1961, more than four years after the trial had started, the court found all the accused not guilty. Vernon Celliers Berrangé, grandson of JC Berrangé was carried aloft Krogh.

Towards the end of each year, the University of Pretoria requests the name of Ridgeway College’s top student. This student is awarded a R10 000 bursary to study at that university. This year, Ridgeway College in Louis Trich ardt is proud to announce that their head girl, Ayesha Chhaya, is the recipient of this bursary. “Ayesha has consistently been our top achiever, proving that hard work and diligence pay off,” said executive head Ms Dionne Redfern. In what has been an incredibly disrupted year, many matriculants have struggled to remain motivated and focused. “This has not been the case with Ayesha,” said Redfern. “In a time of crisis, true character is revealed, and what we have seen in her is an unwavering commitment to her dreams. She has not faltered in her work and has, in fact, been all the more determined. With an aggregate of 93% in the Preliminary Examination, this bursary is so well deserved. We are hugely proud of her,” added Redfern. Ayesha is planning to study either medicine or engineering.

Local classification to take part in para-athletics Para-athletics On Saturday, 24 October, local para-athletes (athletes with physical impairments or challenges) will have the op portunity to be evaluated and provisionally classified for para-athletics sport in Louis Trichardt. The day’s proceedings will be restricted to limited numbers because of Covid-19, and all the requirements of the International Paralympic Committee’s guideline document regarding hygiene and infection control in times of Covid-19 will be adhered to. Classification of para-athletes is essential for any disabled athlete who wishes to participate at provincial, national, or international level. This also provides a stepping stone for those who do not necessarily want to participate in sport at a competitive level but who wish to make contact with other disabled people who

want to participate in various sporting codes for fun and for the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. This is a Limpopo provincial classification event where Louisa Kirsten, one of South Africa’s international para-athletics classifiers, will provisionally classify prospective adult athletes with a provincial classification. These athletes would then be able to attend a national event where a panel of classifiers would evaluate the athlete and give him or her a national classification, thereby enabling the athlete to participate at internationally sanctioned events for international classification. A similar classification event for children will be held later this year. On the same day, Kotie Pienaar, a Gauteng wheelchair athlete who is a medallist at previous International Wheelchair Association games in Dubai, will be available to give athletes some guidelines

with regard to disciplines such as javelin, shotput and discus throwing. The day’s activities will be run from 08:00 until 15:30 and the venue is still to be confirmed. The local IsAbility Limpopo Sports Club is facilitating the classification and coaching by bringing the different stakeholders together. Anyone who is perhaps not interested in athletics but would like to learn how to become involved in other sports such as wheelchair tennis etc, can contact the club to be linked up with relevant structures and contacts. The club has invited anyone with any form of disability, wishing to be classified or to learn more about the opportunities for participation in sports and the classification requirements, to feel free to contact Sandy James (084 506 3333 / 015 516 9856) or Louisa Kirsten (083 561 5983) or e-mail is.ability.limpopo@ gmail.com.

DISTRIBUTION / VERSPREIDING:

Laerskool Louis Trichardt is baie trots op een van hul jong tennisspelers, Rogan van den Berg. Hy is vroeër vanjaar deur Limpo po Junior Tennis gekies vir deelname aan die o.13-afdeling van die Suid-Afrikaanse Skoletoernooi. Die toernooi het egter weens die Covid-19 pandemie nie plaasgevind nie en derhalwe kon Rogan ongelukkig nie sy provinsiale kleurre verwerf nie. Limpopo Junior Tennis het egter die hoop uitgespreek dat Rogan in 2021 wel die provinsie sal kan verteenwoordig.

Johan Badenhorst van Orkney het Saterdag die gesogte Hanglip 54trofee bokant sy kop gelig. Tweede was Curt de Beer (Utrecht) met Barry Louw (Oppenheimer Park Gholfklub) in die derde plek. Van links na regs staan Barry, Inus Steyn (klubkaptein van die Soutpansberg Gholfklub), Johan en Curt. Foto verskaf.

Die Soutpansberg Gholfklub het vanaf 8 tot 10 Oktober gasheer gespeel vir die 27ste Hanglip 54gholftoernooi. Dié toernooi vind gewoonlik vroeër in die jaar plaas, maar moes vanjaar uitgestel word vanweë die Covid19 pandemie. Hoe die toernooi werk is dat spelers in spanne van twee elke dag in ‘n beterbal Stableford-kompetisie meeding. Elke dag lewer dus twee wenners op. Die algehele wenner is egter die speler wat die beste individuele Stableford-telling oor al drie dae aanteken. Alhoewel Vlak 1 Covid-19 regulasies steeds van krag is, het die gewildheid van die toernooi nogmaals ‘n vol veld van 128 spelers gelok. Die grootste verskil was dat heelwat meer plaaslike spelers vanjaar aan die toernooi deelgeneem het as voorheen. Waar die toernooi voorheen op besoekers gefokus het, was 78 spelers vanjaar uit plaaslike geledere. Ten spyte van die heelwat meer plaaslike spelers, was dit die besoekers wat egter die podium gedomineer het. Net die eerste dag se spel, met Isuzu/Honda Louis Trichardt as die hoofborg, is gewen deur plaaslike gholfers Hercu Snyman en Chris Gerber van die Soutpansberg Gholfklub met ‘n telling van 46 beterbal Stableford-punte. Attie Booyens (Klerksdorp Gholfklub) en Johan Badenhorst (Orkney Gholfklub) het weggestap met die louere op dag twee (geborg deur Rainbow Midas en Oasis Water) met ‘n telling van 49 beterbal Stableford-punte.
