Veertienjarige wat kind in koelhouer druk voor voertuig rol het heel moontlik sewejarige se lewe gered

Koelkop red jong lewe Deur Isabel Venter ‘n Koelhouer kan ook gebruik word om lewens te red, het ‘n jong inwoner van die streek twee weke gelede bewys.

Die flinke optrede van die 14-jarige Brandon van Zyl, toe hy Louis Swart (7) se lewe gered het met ‘n koelhouer, kan beslis as ‘n heldedaad beskryf word.

Brandon en Louis was op Sondag, 4 Januarie, in ‘n motorongeluk betrokke. Hulle was saam met Donovan, Brandon se broer, en Mattie Swart, Louis se ma, oppad terug huis toe nadat hulle die naweek by die Albasinidam gekamp het. Die ongeluk het sowat 18 km voor Makhado (Louis Trichardt) gebeur.

Donovan het bestuur en het beheer verloor oor Mattie se Audi Q5, en dit het onbeheers oor die pad begin gly.

Daar word vermoed dat die stuurstang moontlik ingegee het. Daar is tans ‘n ondersoek om die presiese oorsaak van die ongeluk te probeer vasstel.

“Dit is ‘n wonderwerk en bestiering van Bo,” het Brandon se verligte ma, Nicolette, na die tyd aan die koerant vertel. Sy het verlede week vertel hoe Brandon vinnig gedink het om te keer dat Louis nie seerkry nie.

Brandon het vinnig besef dat daar

moeilikheid gaan kom toe Donovan nie die Audi onder beheer kon kry nie. “Donovan het net gesê daar is iets fout met die stuurwiel en dat hy nie die Audi in die pad kan hou nie,” het Brandon skamerig vertel. Hy het blitsig die koelhouer op die sitplek gegryp en begin leeg maak. Brandon sê hy weet nie wat hom aan hierdie plan laat dink het nie, maar dat hy bly was dit het gewerk.

Terwyl die Audi oor die pad begin gly het, het Brandon vir Louis gevat en in die houer maak sit en ‘n kussing bo-oor hom gedruk. Skaars het hy dit gedoen, of die onvermydelike het gebeur – die Audi was die pad byster en het begin rol nadat dit ‘n sandwal getref het.

Louis en Brandon is in die rolslag uit die Audi geslinger.

Brandon se bene was nog halfpad onder die Audi vasgepen toe dit tot stilstand kom.

“Donovan het die motor opgelig en toe kon ek my bene uittrek,” het Brandon vertel. ‘n Heel benoude Louis was nog steeds binne-in die koelhouer gewees en het na sy ma geroep. Tot almal se verbasing het hulle vir Louis heeltemal ongedeerd uitgehelp – hy het nie een enkele merk of skraap op hom gehad nie.

Veertienjarige se optrede red lewe (Vervolg van p. 1) Dieselfde kan nie gesê word van die ander nie. Mattie en Donovan het verskeie kneuswonde opgedoen, terwyl Brandon se wangbeen ernstig gekneus is.

“Ek wil eerder nie dink wat sou met Louis gebeur het as dit nie vir Brandon se optrede was nie,” het Nicolette gesê. “Dit was ‘n wonderwerk gewees, waarvoor ons die Here elke dag dankie sê.”

Terwyl die Van Zyls nog op die ongelukstoneel was, het hulle agtergekom dat Louis se hondjie, Vampie, wat ook in die voertuig was, weg is.

“Ons het orals na die hond gesoek, maar kon hom nie kry nie,” het Nicolette vertel. Boere in die omgewing Die sewejarige Louis sit in die koelhouer waarin Brandon (regs) hom geprop het en so sy lewe tydens ‘n motorongeluk het ook naderhand help soek, maar Vampie was skoonveld gewees. gered het. By die twee is Vampie, Louis se woef, wat ook die ongeluk oorleef het.

Dit sou later blyk dat Vampie so groot geskrik het dat hy laat spaander het.

Mnr. Fritz Ahrens, by wie se plaas die ongeluk gebeur het, het die bedremmelde woefie gekry waar hy twee dae later opgedaag het en vir sy mense gesit en wag het. Vampie het ook nie enige beserings opgedoen nie.

Brandon moes na die ongeluk twee dae lank in ‘n hospitaal in Polokwane bly om die gekneusde wangbeen te behandel. Volgens sy dokters sal hy dalk later ‘n operasie moet ondergaan as die wangbeen nie vanself gesond word nie.

Mattie het haar regterarm seergemaak, terwyl Donovan se rug, skouer en sleutelbeen seergekry het. “Dit is gelukkig nie te ernstig nie; die dokter sê dit is net weefsel wat gekneus het,” sê Nicolette.

Man in court over R19 million drugs A 48­year­old man recently appeared in the Musina Mag­ istrate’s Court in connection with a charge of being found in possession of illegal substances.

Kennedy Mukunkha Manda briefly appeared in court on 9 January and his case was postponed to this week Thursday.

Manda, a bus driver who originally came from Malawi, was arrested at Beit Bridge at about 10:30 on 19 December last year.

This came after a detector dog handler of customs discovered a package of yellow and white tablets inside the bus.

The official asked Manda if he knew anything about the package. “He allegedly responded that it was given to him by a Malawian person to deliver to another person in Johannesburg,” said the spokesperson for Musina police, Const Dakalo Ramagwede.

Ramagwede had since confirmed that the tablets were counted and found as 983 white tablets and 998 yellow tablets.

The yellow tablets tested positive for brown heroin. “The total street value of the drug is about R19 million,” she said.

Manda appeared in court again on 16 January. The information on the outcome of his case had not been available at the time of going press.

Mudau is gearresteer en het Dinsdag in die plaaslike distrikshof verskyn, waar hy skuldig

bevind is op ‘n klag van die besit van goedere wat vermoedelik gesteel is en ‘n klag van die besit van dagga. Op die klag met betrekking tot die kabels is Mudau ‘n boete van R1 400 opgelê. Vir die besit van dagga is hy gevonnis tot ‘n boete van R100 of alternatiewelik 10 dae tronkstraf.

Stink probleem begin weer by asgate lol Te oordeel aan die munisipale stortingsterrein, bring die nuwe jaar ou probleme vir die inwo­ ners van Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Sedert Maandag het die toegangshekke by die terrein, soos verlede jaar, stadig maar seker begin oorloop van die vullis. Dinsdag, tydens ‘n besoek vroeg die oggend, is daar vier bakkies en ‘n munisipale vullistrok opgemerk wat hulle vragte vullis langs die Vondelingpad afgooi.

Nog ‘n munisipale trekker met ‘n sleepwa vol vullis kon nie by die ingangshek van die terrein inkom nie, en het agterom die stortingsterrein gery en dit naby die grensdraad in die veld van

die vullisterrein gaan stort. Tussen al die rommel by die ingangshekke het ‘n tru-grawer gestaan – klaarblyklik buite werking.

Die koerant het intussen verneem dat ‘n nuwe terrein vir die ontwikkeling van nuwe asgate verlede jaar deur die munisipaliteit aan kontrakteurs oorhandig is. Munisipale woordvoerder mnr. Louis Bobodi was egter vandeesweek nog nie terug by die werk om hieroor kommentaar te lewer nie.

Die munisipale bestuurder, mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali, het teen druktyd ook nog nie gereageer op die koerant se navrae nie.

Hierdie munisipale vullistrekker is opgemerk waar hy ‘n vrag naby die munisipale stortingsterrein se agterste grensdraad in die veld afgooi, omdat dit nie by die stortingsterrein kon inkom nie. Die foto is ook Dinsdag geneem.

Inwoners nou keelvol vir slaggate in strate Die haglike toestand van paaie en strate in en om Makhado (Louis Trichard) het inwoners keelvol.

“Ek dink nie daar is ‘n straat in die dorp wat nie ‘n slaggat in het nie,” het mnr. Jan Kunneke gesê.

Behalwe vir slaggate, wat met die reënseisoen soos paddastoele orals opgeduik het, is die toestand van sypaadjies ook besig om ‘n kopseer te word.

Padtekens wat nie herstel word nie hou ‘n verdere bedreiging in vir motoriste.

Inwoners is dit eens - die toestand van plaaslike paaie en strate is lankal verby die kritieke merk en Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het die afgelope naweek begin om slaggate regoor die dorp op te vul dring daarop aan dat die Makhado Munisipaliteit met sand. Hierdie vragmotor en werker van die munisipaliteit is Dinsdag afgeneem waar hulle moet optree.

Sedert die begin van die jaar het dele van paaie op die hoek van Rissik- en Groblerstraat sand in ‘n slaggat gegooi het. ook heeltemal verdwyn. ‘n Groot deel van Kortstraat (ná die spoorwegkruising) is verlede week gesloop en is nou ‘n grondpad. Dit geld ook vir die deel van Jeppestraat naby die Coco-Cola Depot.

Die nuwe uitbreiding se strate lyk ook net so sleg.

Dáár moet inwoners teen ‘n kruipspoed bestuur, en in Hlangananistraat is daar bloot net nie meer plek om te bestuur sonder om deur ‘n slaggat te ry nie. Selfs voor die munisipale kantore is daar massiewe slaggate.

Die swak toestand van sypaadjies is ook ‘n groei­ ende bekommernis – juis omdat talle motoriste nou begin het om slaggate te ontduik deur op sypaadjies te ry. Dan gebruik talle plaaslike besighede nou ook deurlopend munisipale sypaadjies as afsetpunt vir hul produkte.

Groblerstraat, langs Fruit & Veg, het nou ‘n plek

geword waar onwettige motorwerktuigkundiges hulle dienste aan Jan Alleman aanbied. Build It op die hoek van Kruger- en Jouberstraat gebruik die sypaadjie om sement en bakstene te stoor, terwyl grondverskuiwingsmasjinerie vanaf die sypaadjie op die aangrensende leë erf uitverhuur word.

Die Zoutpansberger het die munisipaliteit se bestuurder, mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali, genader en gevra om dringend kommentaar te lewer. Hy is spesifiek gevra hoe die munisipaliteit se geldsake tans staan om die slaggat-probleem aan te spreek.

Verder is hy ook gevra rondom die munisipaliteit se beleid insake die sypaadjies in die dorp.

Muntshinyali het Dinsdag aangedui dat hy nie dadelik wil kommentaar lewer nie, omdat hy self eers “met die verskillende departemente in die munisipaliteit moet praat om uit te vind wat die huidige toestand van sake is.” Hy het aangedui dat hy later hierdie week kommentaar sal lewer.

Intussen het radelose inwoners al self begin om slaggate op te vul met sement of sand. Verlede jaar het ‘n privaat maatskappy, Maseakhole Constructability & Projects, van die kritieke slaggate in Baobab-, Bauhinia- en Leeustraat op eie onkoste gevul met teer. In Douthwaitstraat het die Viljoen-gesin die slaggate voor hulle huis en die Heidi en Peter Kleuterskool met sement gevul.

Gedurende Desember het die Sinthumule Kutama Taxi Assosiasie dit op hulself geneem om die lewensgevaarlike slaggate in die pad tussen Madombidzha en Makhado (Louis Trichardt) op te vul met sement en sand.

Selfs voor die munisipale kantoor is daar massiewe slaggate.

Sypaadjies in die dorp word ook gebruik om motors te diens - ‘n situasie wat die Makhado Build It in Joubertstraat gebruik hulle sypaadjie om boubenodigehede te stoor en te verkoop. Munisipaliteit belowe het om aan te spreek in 2013.

Motoriste moes al male sonder tal swenk vir die vurkhysers wat half in die pad staan.

“We can only give them water” - Bobodi

“Ek sal soet wees.” Mckeyla de Bruin kry vir oulaas ‘n drukkie by ma Marinda, terwyl pa Kobus toekyk. Mckeyla was een van Laerskool Louis Trichardt se nuwe Gr. 1’tjies.

The small community of Vuu in the Vuwani area has been at loggerheads with the Makhado Municipality about ownership of the land on which the com­ munity is currently living.

This is adversely hampering service delivery to the community of about 5 000 residents. The municipality says that the land rightfully belongs to the municipality after it was proclaimed and further maintains that the Vuu community is living on the land illegally.

On the other hand, the chief of the Vuu community, Vho-Nelson Ramathithi, said that they hadn’t invaded the land.

“We only came back to the place of our ancestors,” said Ramathithi. “This place is literally marked with lots of evidence from the time of our ancestors who first lived here on this moun-

tain.”

He added that the matter of the land was in the hands of the courts, and that his feeling was that the municipality should provide water to residents while the court was still deciding on the case. “My people – who are all legal citizens of this country – need water,” he said.

He is worried that the office of the municipality is rejecting the Vuu community and calling them illegal occupants. “The Makhado Municipality and their allies claim that this land has been proclaimed and so on,” he said.

“Whom did they consult with during the proclamation process?

And who facilitated the process?

Did they visit this place and check for the evidence which shows that this is the place of our ancestors?”

The spokesperson for the

Makhado Municipality, Mr Louis Bobodi, responded to our media inquiry. “Those people invaded the land; in other words, they are living on that land illegally,” Bobodi said.

“They should engage us only on the issue of water and we will see how best we can provide them with water. They have a right to clean water, whether they are living on that land legally or illegally. We can only give them water - only water.”

The community’s representative, Mr Thabelo Nalana, said that they would visit the municipality once again and engage them not only on the issue of the unavailability of water. “We also need electricity in this dark and bushy village,” said Nalana. “We need services in this village; after all, we are the voters who vote for the leadership of this country.”

Gauteng businessman dies in helicopter crash A Gauteng-based Beit Bridge businessman, Mr Christian Malila Ndou, was killed on Sunday morning, when his Robinson R44 helicopter crashed and burst into flames in a mountainous area outside Gwanda town in Zimbabwe.

The incident occurred between 07:00 and 07:30 in a bushy area. When the victim’s relatives arrived at the scene of the horrific crash, they managed to identify the deceased and wept uncontrollably. A man, believed to be his son, went berserk and ran

away from the crash site before police apprehended and consoled him.

Police spokesperson Sr Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba confirmed the incident, saying they were still investigating the cause of the crash.

She said they suspected Ndou could have been thrown out of the helicopter when it developed a fault and overturned mid-air before it crashed and caught fire.

“The helicopter’s propellers cut his body into pieces and his dismembered body was found almost 30 metres away from the scene. Some remains were found up to 50 metres away from the crash site.

Poor visibility may also have caused the tragedy,” she said.

Ndou, who ran a successful security company in Gauteng, farms in the Limpopo province and Beit Bridge and was flying alone at the time the accident occurred. When Limpopo Mirror arrived at the scene, police were seen gathering his remains from the bushy area on a hilltop.

Local residents who witnessed the helicopter flying above Gwanda town moments before it crashed said the pilot had circled above the town as if he was looking for a space to land.

Ndou was flying his four-seater aircraft alone from Bulawayo to Beit Bridge.

“The helicopter circled for some moments and I thought it was going to land somewhere in town before it headed southwards. It could have developed a mechanical fault,” said an onlooker. “The helicopter was flying very low and it made some terrible sound,” he added.

Mr Henry Raymond Hollins, a local resident who also owns a helicopter, said it was strange that the helicopter had crashed.

“A Robson R44 rarely crashes and I really wonder what could have happened,” Hollins said.

Local civil aviation officials are still conducting Relatives of Mr Christian Malila Ndou break investigations into the tragedy. down at the scene of the helicopter crash.

The burning helicopter, photographed shortly after the crash.

A minibus taxi, travelling from Musina to Johannesburg, got into trouble with the traffic police in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on Sunday. Traffic officials were on duty next to the N1 when they stopped and searched the taxi. Upon inspection they realised that the taxi carried a total of 27 passengers (in photo next to taxi), 17 more people than its permit allows it to transport. The driver, who is a Zimbabwean, was deported and by Tuesday the traffic department confirmed that they were still waiting for the owner to come and pay the fine before his confiscated taxi would be released.

Crime Prevention

Police warn against bogus FET colleges During the coming weeks, the Limpopo Police will work hand in hand with the Department of Education (DoE) to keep a watchful eye on students registering for their tertiary studies.

Provincial police spokesperson Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi said this week that the police have noticed with concern the increase in more bogus Further Education and Training (FET) colleges in some of the province’s bigger towns.

Mulaudzi said that the police would compile a special investigation team, with the help of the DoE, to monitor the upcoming registration period of new students. “We know that it is the season where some criminals want to prey on unsuspecting learners by promising them a brighter future, when in fact they are destroying their lives. We shall not allow this to happen and we will double

our efforts, without fear, to uncover these crooks,” added provincial police commissioner Lt Gen Fanie Masemola.

Masemola and Mulaudzi urged students, especially those who did not get accepted at legitimate universities, not to register with a bogus FET out of desperation. If foul play is suspected, students may contact the DoE’s toll-free number at 0800 265 266 to verify a college’s registration details or report a bogus one.

“We want to ensure that those who appear to be running illegal and unregistered colleges are apprehended and receive punishment,” said Mulaudzi.

He warned that those running FETs without the proper licencing and registration might receive punishment of 10 years’ imprisonment or a fine of R250 000, or even both.

Bloedskenk

Gee geskenk van lewe in die nuwe jaar Nuwejaarsvoornemens behels dikwels die opgee van iets.

Hierdie jaar vra die Suid­Af­ rikaanse Nasionale Bloeddiens (SANB) nie dat jy iets opgee nie, maar eerder dat jy iets gee – bloed.

Elke skenking neem ongeveer ‘n uur en kan tot drie mense se lewens help red. Die skenkingsproses is eenvoudig: jy sal ‘n vraelys voltooi rakende jou gesondheid en leefstyl; jou bloeddruk word geneem en ‘n

druppel van jou bloed om seker te maak jy is nie anemies nie en dat dit veilig is om te skenk. ‘n Gekwalifiseerde suster sal ‘n kort onderhoud met jou voer en as als in orde is, word jou bloedskenking geneem. Alle naalde en toerusting word slegs een maal gebruik en dan vernietig. Ná jou skenking geniet jy koekies en koeldrank.

Daar moet elke dag 3 000 eenhede bloed ingesamel word om aan hospitale in Suid-Afrika te

verskaf. Die behoefte aan bloed is deurlopend – daar vind elke 35 sekondes ‘n bloedoortapping in Suid-Afrika plaas.

Om ‘n bloedskenker te wees, moet jy tussen die ouderdom van 16 en 65 wees, meer as 50kg weeg, ‘n veilige seksuele leefstyl lei, gesond wees op die dag van jou skenking en ‘n maaltyd genuttig het voordat jy bloed skenk.

Vir meer inligting oor jou naaste bloedskenksentrum SMS jou poskode na 31454.

Vhembe and Mopane vulnerable to malaria The Vhembe and Mopane regions are the most fragile areas where one could easily be infected with malaria, especially during the rainy season.

According to the Department of Health in Limpopo, a record number of 765 malaria cases were recorded over the past three months, with 217 cases reported in October, 347 in November and 201 in December.

The Donald Fraser, Malamulele and Musina hospitals are the hospitals that recorded the highest number of malaria cases in the Vhembe district, whilst the Nkhensani, Maphuta and Malatjie hospitals recorded the highest number in Mopane.

The Department of Health has warned that during October to February the number of malaria cases increases. The reason for the increase is because of the rain and the subsequent breeding of mosquitoes.

The department also warned travellers, especially those who visited high-risk areas during the festive season, to be watchful for malaria signs and symptoms. Some of those symptoms include fever, body pains, headache, nausea and diarrhoea. “If any of these symptoms are experienced, patients should immediately proceed to the closest clinic or health centre for a malaria test,” said the Department of Health’s spokesperson, Ms Adele van der Linde.

Ms Van der Linde said that the higher incidence

of malaria was caused by travelling and human behaviour.

“During December, many community members and migrant workers from the province visited high-risk malaria areas outside the provincial boundaries. People also spent more time outdoors in the evenings during December,” she said.

“Unfortunately, there are still patients who delay consulting when they fall sick, resulting in fever and complicated malaria, that can lead to malaria-related fatalities,” she said. It was established that only seven suspected fatalities had occurred, with four in November and three in December.

The department has embarked on an operation to minimize the transmission of the disease.

“All 42 malaria teams from the department are fully operational in the communities with indoors residual spraying,” she said.

Hoërskool Eric Louw in Musina het ses nuwe personeellede verwelkom. “Dis is ‘n groot bonus aangesien die skool slegs een personeellid, mev. M. Weideman, gegroet het aan die einde van 2013,” sê die skool. Van links na regs is mnr. S. Vermeulen (wiskunde geletterdheid, besigheidstudies, tegnologie en lewensoriëntering), mev. S. Vermeulen (besigheidstudies, rekeningkunde en ekonomiese bestuurswetenskap), mej. M. Herbert ( lewenswetenskappe en lewensoriëntering), mej. J. Badenhorst (Afrikaans en CAT), mej. C. du Plessis (Afrikaans en gasvryheidstudies) en mej. M. du Plessis (Engels). “Dis voorwaar ‘n groot voorreg om ook melding daarvan te maak dat Madeli du Plessis, Chrisna du Plessis en Mirelle Herbert oudskoliere van Hoërskool Eric Louw was,” sê die skool.

Boy killed by croc A 13-year-old boy from Mwenezi village outside Beit Bridge was killed and his body was never recovered after being snatched by a crocodile while he was bathing.

Police spokesperson Chief Insp Peter Zhanero said the incident occurred last Thursday in the crocodile-infested Mwenezi River. The victim was identified as Willard Sandani of Mwenezi village.

“Willard and his brother were bathing and, while he was standing on a rock in the river, a huge crocodile emerged from the river and grabbed Willard,” said Zhanero.

Willard’s 15-year-old brother watched helplessly as the reptile closed its jaws around his body and whirled down the river and disappeared under the water.

Police from the sub-aqua team were later called to the scene and they failed to retrieve the body.

Met die nuwe skooljaar het Laerskool Levubu twee nuwe onderwysers in hulle midde verwelkom.

Dear Dairy DAY 4

Helga’s diary on a cruise ship Dear Diary - DAY 1 All packed for the cruise ship - all my nicest dresses, swimsuits, and short sets.

Really, really exciting. Our local Red Hat chapter - The Late Bloomers - decided on this “all-girls” trip. It will be my first one - and I can’t wait!

Dear Diary - DAY 2 Entire day at sea, beautiful.

Saw whales and dolphins.

Met the Captain today seems like a very nice man.

Dear Diary - DAY 3 At the pool today. Did some shuffleboard, hit golf balls off the deck.

Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner. Felt honored and had a wonderful time. He is very attractive and attentive.

17 Januarie 2014

Won $800.00 in the ship’s casino. Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal complete with caviar and champagne.

He asked me to stay the night, but I declined. Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband.

Dear Diary - DAY 5 Pool again today. Got sunburned, and I went inside to drink at piano-bar, stayed there for rest of day. Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks.

Really is quite charming.

Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night.

Again I declined.

He told me that if I did not let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship... I was shocked.

Dear Diary - DAY 6 Today I saved 2 600 lives.

Twice.

The Way, the Truth and the Life

Write to us at PO Box 1680, Louis Trichardt, 0920 / Skryf aan ons te Posbus 1680, Louis Trichardt, 0920 of news@zoutnet.co.za

it is sekerlik die moeite werd om meer lig te werp op Seth Maanda se kommer wat hy uitspreek in sy brief (What have our dreams turned into?) in die Zoutpansberger van 10 Januarie 2014.

Makhado (Louis Trichardt) as dorp is vasgevang in ‘n greep van vernietiging van infrastruktuur, swak tot geen dienslewering, onbevoegde amptenary, bedrog en selfverryking. Dit is tesame met ongebreidelde misdaad wat daagliks groei in matelose geweld en sinnelose moorde hier en landwyd. ’n Voorbeeld wat deur die staatspresident persoonlik gestel word en deur die ANC op alle vlakke van regering bedryf en onderskryf en verdoesel word. Hoe groter die gemors wat aangerig word, hoe groter is die sekerheid van die skuldige van ’n ministeriële aanstelling.

As ek as inwoner rondom my kyk in ons eens mooi dorp, dan ly dit geen twyfel dat die klok reeds begin lui het nie. Dit word eenvoudig bevestig deur die feit dat ’n Internet soektog na eiendom wat in en om Louis Trichardt te koop aangebied word die skokkende syfer van 253 eiendomme is, waarvan nie minder as 150 daarvan huise in die dorp is en die res plase en plotte in die omgewing. Kom ons neem aan dat elke huis vier inwoners bevat het, beteken dit dat 600 reeds die dorp verlaat het. Dieselfde geld die buite eiendomme. Wyer nog is die gepaardgaande werksverlies, verlies

aan inkomste en ook verlies aan belastings. Daar is net een antwoord daarop en dit is dat die ANC kaders waaruit die Makhado Munisipaliteit bestaan niks werd is nie en vir niks en niemand omgee nie. “Mamparras” soos wat die regerings amptenary alreeds in die daaglikse pers beskryf word.

Die kersie op die vrot koek is die jongste navorsingsyfers van Ipsos wat op 11 Januarie 2014 in die pers bekend gemaak is, naamlik: DIE POLITIEKE STEUN VAN DIE ANC UIT DIE BEVOLKING HET GEDAAL NA 53%.

Meneer Maanda, wees getroos daaraan dat tussen die ANC en Julius Malema se streke gaan jou eiendom se waarde daal. Wees ook verseker dat hulle nie vir ewig tot die einde toe aan bewind gaan bly soos wat die President en sy trawante beweer nie. Dalk nie in my en jou leeftyd nie, maar hulle einde lê ook op die horison want selfs die mees oningeligte en selfs die verste agtergeblewene begin agterkom dat die ANC hulle vir ’n “ride” gevat het soos wat die gewilde opmerking dit wil hê. ANC verkiesingsbeloftes geld net vir ’n sekere elite minderheid binne die ANC en nie vir die massas nie. Gaan doen gerus navraag oor die jongste regeringskuld, wie ignoreer die aankoop beperking op luukse voertuie en so meer. ­ Carel Breytenbach (Makhado / Louis Trichardt)

Daisy, die ontwortelde stadsmeisie, begin nesskrop op die plaas en sy begin ook haar unieke stempel afdruk op die plattelandse mense.

ll born again children of God are brothers and sisters in Christ. We are all united in our worship of King Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.

The apostle Paul tells us that the church is really made up of all the saints of all ages.

Our reading for today tells us that the church is a body of believers, each one different to the other.

The Lord wants us to learn to laugh with those who are happy, but also to cry when they cry.

The church, Paul says is like a human body; what happens to one part has an effect on every other part.

We should not be jealous of a person’s success, but rejoice with him or her. We all need to have a right attitude to our brothers and sisters in Christ. We shall live with them forever. We must love one another and that means we tolerate each other, even those who are different.

We are all different, but we all love Jesus Christ and are loved by Him. We must all learn to get on well with one another.

We must learn to love one another with Christian love. ­ 079 5168303 Notice

Vyfuur is Daisy net betyds terug van die dorp af vir Plore se bestuurslesse. Die watermonsters is veilig afgegee vir oornag-aflewering in Pretoria en al haar ander werk is ook klaar. Sy aap-gaap kom Daisy by die werkswinkel staan teen die kar en rook toe die rooi trekker op aan. Dis Maandag. Dis die eerste werkdag die bospaadjie verskyn. Plore skree iets vir haar, maar sy kan nie hoor nie en beduie vir hom om van die nuwe jaar. af te spring.

“Daisy, skuif die blêddie kar man, ek wil die “Jy’s laat, Daisy!” bulder Jakoboos en beduie trekker onder die afdak parkeer!” skree hy in woes na sy sonbruin arm waar daar ‘n horlosie haar oor. “Moenie so gil nie man! Ek mag jou behoort te wees. Die plaaswerkers lag. Een antie wees, maar ek is nog g’n doof nie...” gevaarlike kyk van Jakoboos laat hulle vinnig “Plore, laat ek gou die trekker parkeer,” bedaar.

“Maar jy het nog nóóit ‘n trekker bestuur nie, istes van GlobalGAP voldoen. Jakobus verDaisy!” protesteer hy. duidelik die prosedures in Venda aan die nuwe “Ag, Plore man, hoe moeilik kan dit nou werkers. Dan gee hy sy volle aandag aan Daisy.

“Ons kry more belangrike mense wat die dag wees? Ek bestuur al vir jaaaaaare en ek is vreeslik versigtig en jy kan my mos gou-gou wys ... hier op die plaas kom spandeer. Jy onthou mos die inligtingsessie waarvoor ons in Pretoria was Ag toe?” Plore weet wanneer hy verloor het en hy help vir Daisy op die trekker. “Parkeer nou – die een oor ‘Farming for the Future’? Daai drie ouens kom kyk na die infrastruktuur op die sommer hier langs die koelkamer, Daisy. Die parkeerplek is groter. Dan trap jy die clutch in plaas sodat ons ge-oudit kan word. Ek sal dit waardeer as jy so bietjie op die plaas kan rondry en hierso is die eerste rat...”

Die trekker storm vorentoe. “Draai, Daisy, en net vinnig seker maak dat dinge in plek is.” dráái,” skree Plore en pluk aan die stuurwiel.

“Dan is daar water samples in die kantoor “Oukei, Daisy, oukei... Stadig nou, trap die rem. by die huis wat jy asseblief moet wegstuur na Staaaaaadig, Daisy! STOP!” skreeu Plore. die laboratorium by die WNNR om getoets te “O hél, man! Waar’s die remm...” word.”

paar sinkplate dawerend voor die trekker neer.

Toe die stofwolk bedaar, sit ‘n stowwerige Daisy oopmond en kyk na die vreeslike skade rondom haar. Skielik is daar ‘n stroom woorde uit Plore se mond. Skokkende woorde. Woorde wat nie gepubliseer kan word nie, maar wat kortliks beteken: “Wat het jy aangevang, Daisy? Kyk nou die mooi gemors. Ek dink nie my pa gaan baie gelukkig wees nie. Dis alles jou skuld. Jy moet dit so aan my pa verduidelik, anders gee hy my ‘n vreeslike loesing...” Ensovoorts, ensovoorts.

Daardie aand lê Daisy verwese in haar donker kamer toe Ousus kom aanklop. Daisy se oë is rooi gehuil.

“Ag, ou Daisy, toemaar jong. Dit was ‘n ongeluk, net ‘n ongeluk. Al sê Jakobus wát, ek weet jy’t jou les geleer. Jy moet jou die man se buie nie so vreeslik aantrek nie – hy het eintlik maar ‘n klein hartjie, solank jy net nie met een van sy trekkers rondmors nie. Dis net dat daai belangrike mense van Woolworths more kom en hoe moet hy nou so ‘n ongeluk aan hulle verduidelik? Dat hy skielik nie ‘n werkende koelkamer het nie?”

Tot Daisy se verbasing is Ousus dik van die lag. “En hoorie, Daisy, dit was baie edel van jou om Plore se sitvlak van ‘n pak slae te red! Om al die skuld so op jouself te neem ... Plore dink jy is cooler as sy Liefie op die oomblik!” giggel Ousus.

“Maar eintlik het ek net iets by jou kom hoor.

Ek moet more-oggend vroeg urienmonsters na die patoloë op die dorp toe neem. Behalwe dat ek die monsters nêrens kry nie. Daar is net watermonsters in die kantoor – ek kan dit ook sommer vir jou gaan afgee in die dorp more?”

“Jy het nie dalk die urienmonsters iewers gesien het nie? Hierdie Blou Maandag hou net nie op nie!”

Daisy draai om en begin weer saggies in haar kussing huil.

Crafford is deputy vice-chancellor

Prof Jan Ernst Crafford. Photo supplied.

Renowned academic Prof Jan Crafford, who was recently appointed deputy vice-chancel­ lor: academic of Univen, said he regarded his appointment as an honour and he felt greatly humbled.

“It is an honour to be offered the position and I look forward to the exciting challenge of this new role. I am committed to driving the academic agenda of the university during the period of my employment,” he said.

Crafford’s appointment follows on the heels of yet another major appointment, the university’s registrar, Prof Edward Nesamvuni.

Crafford is an academic of note, with service

spanning almost 30 years. He takes over the position left by Prof Xikombiso Mbhenyane, who left the university at the end of last year. He has been an associate professor in zoology and dean of the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences at the same university.

Univen principal, Prof Peter Mbati, said they were thrilled to welcome Crafford to the university’s executive management team.

“Considering the wealth of experience that Prof Crafford brings with him, I have no doubt that he will drive the university’s academic agenda to the next level.”

Mbati also called on members of the university

Die tyd begin nou vinnig nader kruip vir hierdie jaar se Kansa Relay for Life.

Vanjaar se Relay beloof om nog groter en beter as vorige jare te wees, maar dit kom met nuwe uitdagings wat betref voorbereiding en die inskrywing van spanne. Hierdie jaar, het die Kansa-komitee gesê, wil hulle ‘n rekord 100 spanne ingeskryf sien.

Enige iemand kan deelneem in spanverband.

“Ons daag hierdie jaar se spanne uit om nou alreeds in te skryf, en om ander organisasies uit te daag om ook in te skryf,” het plaaslike Kansa-voorsitter mnr.

Dirk Meissenheimer gesê.

Spanne moet bestaan uit 10 tot 15 persone per span en deelname kos R500 per span, of R750 vir ‘n span wat bestaan uit 15 lede. Geregistreerde spanne kan ook ‘n staanplek op die baan van ongeveer 3m x 4m kies en hul eie gazebo opslaan. Indien die gazebo groter is, moet twee staanplekke bespreek word. Daar is ook 10 “uitsoek” plekke beskikbaar teen R5 000 per span, reg voor die verhoog.

Hierdie jaar sal die Relay op 28 en 29 Maart aangebied word op die sportvelde van die Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. Daar sal streng beheer toegepas word by die ingangshekke, en geen drank, sigarette of dwelms sal toegelaat word op die veld nie.

Arts and Culture

Help needed to ensure sustainable collection Fourteen local sculptors of northern Limpopo have decided to collaborate in an initiative to find avenues for sustainable wood collection for their sculptures.

At the moment, they are mostly working with suitable dead indigenous wood types that they find in their immediate surrounds. These include woods such as teak, lead wood and wild olive that has to be completely dry to avoid risk of cracks in the sculptures and functional art. These resources are, however, becoming scarcer by the day, especially when wood for cooking is also collected in the same areas.

The group of artists recently attended an artist’s workshop at Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge just west of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) where they planned a local Soutpansberg artists’ exhibition at the lodge for the end of April 2014.

“We will let the exhibition run for a month and plan to invite other local artists like Jaco Roux and Emmie Crafford, while works of the late Jackson Hlungwane will also be exhibited,” the group said. There will also be paintings, exquisite local

jewellery, ceramics and textile art. Lodge owner Ms Marcelle Bosch also sources hand-picked and quality functional art items around the mountain to exhibit.

The group appealed to all individual or collective farmers, government departments or companies who de-bush areas which have huge indigenous or fruit trees, be it for agriculture, roads, railway lines or electrical lines, to please contact one of the representatives of the group, so that they can perhaps work out a way to save, recycle and collect fallen trees at central points. “Local wood of local farmers with local stories add wonder and an eco-friendly, cooperative flavour that warms the hearts of farmers, artists and buyers alike. We all like to preserve the treasures of the earth,” said artist Meshark Raphalalani.

The group said they found that avocado, litchi, citrus and guava trees have excellent wood for sculpting. Many intricate Chinese sculptures are made of litchi wood, whilst avocado wood has been used by the Aztecs of South America for thousands of years. Jacaranda is also first-rate sculpting wood.

Farmers around the Albasini Dam have already indicated that they would rather donate their old, redundant avocado and litchi trees for sculptures than to burn them. “Thank you, we so appreciate your goodwill! We realise that you are all working against time to get rid of the fallen trees and therefore ask that you please give us a ‘sporting chance’ by letting us know in advance if you plan to take out some indigenous or fruit trees - for whatever reason - so we can plan transport and distribution on our side. Few of us have bakkies or cars, but we would like to collaborate to make a plan,” the group said.

The group’s “exco” members consist of Mr Meshark Raphalalani (Tshakhuma close to Levubu / 081 813 0069), Mr Avhashoni Mainganye (Thohoyandou and Phiphidi / 084 725 9613), Mr Thomas Kubayi (Mbokhota close to Elim / 072 180 2398), Mr Ezerael Tavhana (Nzhelele Valley / 072 1322181) and Mr Albert Munyai (Mutale / Mr Amouros Maswanganyi with his sculpture, 076 568 9488). Ms Elthea Schlesinger can also be contacted at 071 191 4467.

Court news

Suspect in court on murder charge after man is fatally wounded by pellet gun A 27-year-old man recent­ ly appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court in con­ nection with a murder case which allegedly happened near the boom gate at Weipe in Musina.

The case against Arifani Phanuel Khakhu was postponed to 13 February for further investigations.

According to the spokesperson for the Musina police, Const Dakalo Ramagwede, a group

of men were standing near the gate discussing soccer. The men allegedly heard the sound of a pellet gun about them and looked around to see what had happened.

“The owner of the gun said that he had put his pellet gun against the fence pole while discussing soccer with the others,” said Ramagwede. “When he checked, he found the deceased lying on the ground.”

It is alleged that one of the

men, who also happens to be the deceased’s long-time friend, had been holding the pellet gun and that he might have “accidentally shot his friend”. The police were notified about the incident, and Khakhu waited for the police to come and arrest him. The owner of the pellet gun is not implicated in this case.

The deceased was later identified as Tshedza Ndou (27).

Khakhu was granted R1 000 bail.

Welkome rus ná 4 200km in die fietssaal Na 4 200 km in die fietssaal is die twee Van Di­ jkhorst­broers klaar met hul Suiderkruisprojek en hang vir eers hulle fietsryskoene op.

Johan, van Makhado (Louis Trichardt), en Leon het sowat 4 200 km deur Suid-Afrika, in die vorm van ‘n kruis, getrap om geld in te samel vir landelike veiligheid. Johan het oor die naweek by die huis aangekom, en het so kortliks vertel van hulle ervaring.

“Ons het lanklaas so baie skaapvleis geëet,” het Johan gesê. Die twee broers het tydens hulle tog eerstehandse kennis opgedoen oor veiligheid in die afgeleë landelike gebiede by al die verskillende boereverenigings. Hulle het ook die president van Agri SA, mnr. Johannes Moller, ontmoet. Nog ‘n hoogtepunt was toe hulle vir Danie Coetsee, die rugbyspeler, ontmoet het.

“Oral is ons oorval met vriendelikheid, en getrakteer op heerlike eet- en drinkgoed Op verskeie dorpe het daar groepies fietsryers by ons aangesluit om saam met ons te ry. Dit was dan ook lekker om weer vars geselskap te ervaar. Van die klubs het ook bydraes gemaak,” het Johan gesê.

Voor hulle op Woensdag, 8 Januarie, by hulle eindbestemming in Alexanderbaai aangekom het, het die broers 30 skofte met ‘n gemiddeld van 145km getrap, vyf pap wiele gehad, twee buitebande afgeskryf, in 27 verskillende beddens geslaap en temperature van tot 46˚C aangedurf. Die laagste temperatuur was 7˚C en, sê Johan, dit het elke Maandag gereën.

Na afloop van dié tog het Johan sy dank uitgespreek teenoor plaaslike borge wat ‘n bydrae gelewer het. Hulle was Luke Enslin van Spar Makhado, Gerhard du Toit van Spar Apteek, Johan Steyn van TrendTyres, Bruce Murray Tel: (015) 516 5175/6/7 Fax: (015) 516 1012 van Stamp Shop, en Liwww.ayobmotors.co.za zette Deacon van Ocean 2013 Audi A1 1.4 TSi S/Tronic 2011 Toyota Fortuner 3.0 D-4D Basket “Julle het die boude op die saal en die A/C, P/S, CD, Fogs, Xenons, A/T, A/C, P/S, CD, LTH, wiele aan die rol gehou.

jul gebede en seënwense was ons beskerming.

Die vraag, het Johan afgesluit, is nou watter ‘malligheid’ gaan die volgende Louis Tri Johan (links) en sy broer Leon (regs). Na 4 200 km in die fietssaal is die twee Van Dijkhorst­broers chardter aanvang? klaar met hul Suiderkruisprojek en hang vir eers hulle fietsryskoene op. Foto: Facebook.
