Net genade Deur Andries van Zyl

Skaars twee weke nadat hy so erg deur ‘n gekweste buffel gegaffel is dat hy vol gens medici definitief moes gesterf het, is die 39jarige Bossie Mostert letterlik terug op die been en terug by die huis. Bossie, van Limpopo Big Game Safaris, is vroeg Vrydagoggend, 5 April, deur ‘n gekweste buffelbul op ‘n plaas in die Waterpoort-omgewing aangeval. Die buffel is deur ‘n kliënt gekwes en in daardie stadium was Bossie al vier dae op sy spoor. Die buffel het Bossie se regterbeen bokant die knie oopgeruk, asook sy sy deurboor en van sy ribbes na buite gebreek. Te midde van al die skade het die buffel alle belangrike organe en slagare gemis. Wat die aanval betref, beskryf Bossie die gebeure daartydens en daarna as ‘n wonderwerk. “Ek het daardie oggend gebid en vir die Here gesê: ‘Here, jy kan my nie vat nie … nie vandag nie’,” het Bossie gesê. In daardie stadium het die buffel vir Bossie reeds twee keer gegaffel en het hy op sy knieë voor die buffel gestaan terwyl hy vir lewe en dood aan die gedierte se horings vasgeklou het. “Ek het vir die Here gesê ek kan nie nou gaan nie, want my kind? Hy is nog klein. DJ is maar tien jaar oud,” het Bossie gesê. Ook deurlopend in sy gebed en gedagtes was die liefde van sy lewe, sy verloofde, Ronél Klopper (41). “Dit was daar wat ek so aan die horings Skaars twee weke nadat hy deur ‘n gekweste buffel gegaffel is en medici oortuig was dat hy moes gesterf het, is Bossie Mostert (39) weer terug by gehang het wat ek besef het dit is nou of nooit. Ek het geweet ek is in groot moeidie huis. “Dit is net genade,” het Bossie gesê.

likheid. Net daar, nadat ek gebid het, het ek duidelik ‘n stem uit die hemel gehoor wat gesê het: ‘Kry jouself binne in daardie bos’,” het Bossie vertel. “Ek kan nie alles onthou nie. Ek kan onthou dat ek op die buffel se horings was en hoe hy my probeer gooi het. Ek het gedink dit was een of twee keer, maar Bethuel, my spoorsnyer, wat alles gesien het, het gesê dit was ‘n klomp keer. Hy sê ek het so lank aan die buffel vasgeklou dat sy tong begin uithang het,” het Bossie gesê. Alhoewel Bethuel ‘n geweer gehad het, kon hy nie skiet nie. Die risiko was net te groot dat hy Bossie sou tref. “Ek kan onthou dat die buffel my gestoot het. Soos wat ek op die grond gesit het, het ek myself begin agtertoe skuif met my arms in die rigting van die bos. Met dié het die buffel twee treë teruggegee en my opgelyn. Ek gesien hy kom en toe hy kom toe tel ek my voete op. Met dié dat hy sy kop laat sak en ek my voete optel, toe druk hy my binne-in die bos in,” het Bossie gesê. Onder die bos, het Bossie vertel, het hy net op sy sy gaan lê en net aanhou bid. “Ek het weer gevra: Here asseblief help my ... Ek het my een oog oopgemaak en gesien hoe die buffel bo-oor my kom staan terwyl hy aan my ruik. Net daar het ek my oë weer toegemaak en gevra: Here, help my asseblief. Toe ek weer my oë oopmaak, toe sien ek hoe stap die buffel weg, die bosse in,” het Bossie gesê. Toe kon Bossie te hulp gesnel word en afgevoer word vir mediese behandeling. “Ek sê jou ou maat … baie dinge gaan

deur jou kop,” het Bossie gesê. Tog het hy nooit gevoel hy gaan sterf nie. “Ek was die hele tyd by my bewussyn. Ek het wel in ‘n stadium vir Herman [Scheepers] op pad in [vanaf die plaas] gesê: ‘Herman, julle moet asseblief na DJ en Ronél kyk’. Toe sê Herman vir my: ‘Nee! Jy sal nie doodgaan nie! Jy gaan oraait wees!’ Toe sê ek vir hom dit is reg,” onthou Bossie. Bossie het teen Woensdag al die hele wêreld vol geloop op eie stoom. Vir stilsit is daar nie tyd nie. Hy het gesê die hele petalje het hom geensins afgeskrik om te doen waarvoor hy lief is nie. “My volgende kliënt kom die 25ste April vir ‘n 21 dae jag, maar ek het ‘n ander PH wat saam met hom gaan. Maar ek sal saam met hulle wees. Ek sal nou nie elke dag aktief wees nie en my maar bietjie besig hou in die kamp en saam met hulle ry,” het Bossie gesê. Hy glimlag en sê dat hy nou immers ‘n goeie kampvuurstorie het. Sy volgende buffeljag is in Julie. “Dan sal ek weer heeltemal op die been wees,” het Bossie gesê. Wat sy merkwaardige verhaal en eweneens spoedige herstel betref, het Bossie gesê dit het niks met geluk te doen nie. “Vir seker is dit net die Here se genade dat ek leef. Dit is ‘n absolute wonderwerk dat ek vandag nog hier is. Selfs die dokters het vir my gesê medies gesproke is dit onmoontlik. Nee, baie ouens sê vir my: Jis, jy was gelukkig! Maar hierdie is nie geluk nie, dit is genade. Dit is ‘n gebed wat verhoor is,” het Bossie gesê.

Louis Trichardt’s first regional mall to open in November this year By Andries van Zyl

If all goes according to plan, Louis Trichardt’s own region al mall will open its doors by the end of November this year as part of the current expan sions to Makhado Crossing. Construction of the new mall started early last year with the Masingita Group of Companies as the developer. Responding to a media enquiry, the Masingita Group of Companies said this week that, as of 10 April, they had completed approximately 70% of the superstructure. They confirmed that the grand opening of the mall will be on 21 November this year. “Completion of the refurbishment of the existing mall will be in 2020,” said the company.

The main contractor assigned to this almost R400 million development project is CMC Koch. “Sub-contracts will be awarded on a tender basis,” said the company. The main anchor tenants in the new mall will include Pick n Pay, Checkers, Woolworths and Dischem. “Our confirmed tenants in addition to the above are ABSA Bank, Standard Bank, Mr Price Group, Truworths Group, Pepkor Group en Clicks,” said the company. The extension project will add an additional 17 000m² to the existing 14 000m² of Makhado Crossing shopping centre. As part of the expansion process, several of the town’s sporting codes had to be relocated from the municipal sporting

grounds adjacent to the existing mall. As part of the deal, new facilities had to be built for these clubs, including the rugby and jukskei clubs. These clubs have already moved into their new premises along the Thohoyandou road. The town’s squash club, as well as the hall housing, among others, the town’s wrestling and gymnastics clubs, has yet to be relocated. Regarding this, the company said that they were busy with ground works on the land allocated by the municipality for the relocation of the clubs next to the municipal pool. More good news is that the Crazy Store in the existing Makhado Crossing, which was destroyed by a fire a couple of weeks ago, is due to reopen for business on 15 June this year.

As of 10 April, approximately 70% of the new mall’s superstructure had been completed.

Bekende pastoor John se dood laat groot leemte Deur Andries van Zyl

Die dood van die welbekende pastoor John Stru wig van Louis Trichardt laat ‘n groot leemte in die gemeenskap. “Dit is verseker nie lekker nie … Ek het dit glad nie verwag nie en dit was ‘n groot skok,” het John se vrou, Marietjie, Dinsdag aan die Zoutpansberger gesê. John is vroeg Saterdagoggend, 13 April, by sy huis aan ‘n hartaanval oorlede. Hy was 74 jaar oud. Marietjie het vertel dat John vroeg die oggend opgestaan het en uitgestap het na die swembad-area om na die water situasie te gaan kyk. “Jy weet mos, water is maar altyd ‘n probleem in die dorp,” het

Marietjie gesê. Ná ‘n ruk het Marietjie hul klein hondjie histeries hoor blaf en sy het begin bekommerd raak waarom John nie terugkom nie. “Ek het uitgestap en hom inmekaar gesak gekry het. Ek het dadelik vir Oswald Eveleigh, wat by ons huur, geskakel. Hy het kom help dat ons hom in die huis in dra. Ek het besef dit is baie ernstig,” het Marietjie gesê. John is per ambulans na die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal gejaag waar hy gesterf het te midde van dr. Anton Stroebel se pogings om hom te red. Vir Marietjie is John se dood nog ‘n onwerklikheid. “Kan jy dit glo, hy het sy aftreepreek in die AGS-gemeente in Levubu op 31 Maart gelewer,” het Marietjie gesê. Tog glo sy vas dat haar man se saak reg was met die Here. Marietjie vertel dat John sy geloof uitgelewe het op alle vlakke van die samelewing. Sommige inwoners sal hom onthou as die eienaar van Struwig Bouers en ander as pastoor John. John het agt jaar gelede weggestap van die boubedryf en voltyds as pastoor by die AGS-gemeente op Levubu in die bediening getree. “Hy is egter al 15 jaar betrokke in die bediening en het 20 jaar gelede die Pathos Christi interkerklike mannekampe begin,” onthou Marietjie. Dit was egter nie net in die kerk waar John sy geloof uitgeleef het nie. Plaaslik was hy voorsitter van die Leraarsforum, asook die Makhado Pastors Forum. Hy was ook behulpsaam met preekgeleenthede tydens saalopening by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, asook openings en afsluitings by Laerskool Levubu. “Hy het ook elke Sondagaand ‘n diens by Ons Tuiste gehou,” het Marietjie met trane in die oë gesê. Sy het vertel hoe aandoenlik dit was toe die ouetehuis haar vroeër die week laat kom het sodat elkeen van die bejaardes wat John se dienste bygewoon het haar ‘n drukkie kon gee. “Sy plek is leeg … Ek het vir hom die grootste bewondering gehad as besigheidsman en as Godsman. Hy was my beste vriend,” het Marietjie gesê. Sy en John sou vanjaar hulle 35ste huweliksherdenking gevier het. “Ons het mekaar aan die Rand ontmoet en is op 9 Oktober 1984 in die

Een van hulle, Maryke, is drie jaar gelede aan kanker oorlede. “Hy was ‘n ongelooflike pa vir sy kinders en kleinkinders. Hy was ‘n man na wie ons opgesien het,” het Marietjie gesê. ‘n Roudiens word eerskomende Saterdag, 20 April, om 11:00 vanuit die AGS Charisma in Munnikstraat, Louis Trichardt, vir wyle John gehou. Hy word oorleef deur sy vrou Marietjie, kinders Jacques en skoondogter Debrah, Etienne en skoondogter Elsabe, Santie en skoonseun Jorrie, Bianca

en vriend André, Carlene en skoonseun Gerhard, kleinkinders en agterkleinkinders. “Ons wil vir die Here dankie sê vir die wonderlike man, pa, oupa en grootoupa,” het Marietjie gesê. Sy het ook haar opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor Oswald, wat haar so vinnig bygestaan het, die ambulanspersoneel, sowel as dr. Anton Stroebel en die personeel van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal. “Dankie ook aan sy broer Peet en vrou Patcy Struwig, asook my susters Magda en Hannie, vir julle wonderlike ondersteuning aan my,” het Marietjie gesê. Ter afsluiting het sy almal bedank vir hulle oproepe, gebede, bystand en woorde van vertroosting.

Mining company happy with decision to dismiss appeals against EA Environmental Affairs

MC Mining announced on Wednesday that they were pleased with the decision to dismiss the appeals against amendments to their Makhado Project’s environmental authori sation (EA). Project owner Baobab Mining and Exploration, a subsidiary of MC Mining, applied to both the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) and the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET) during January 2018 for an amendment to Makhado’s EA. The amendment allows for the transportation of coal to Musina by road rather than rail and was approved by the DMR and LEDET during September 2018. “Following this, the same narrow interest group that had previously and unsuccessfully appealed the original Makhado EA, appealed the DMR and LEDET decisions, resulting in the suspension of the EA amendment authorisations. The company is pleased to announce that both appeals have been dismissed. This results in the EA amend-

ment being effective and reaffirms the Makhado Project’s permitted status,” said MC Mining in a media statement. Whether they were referring to the Vhembe Mineral Resources Forum, who contested them many times in the past, as the “narrow interest group” is unclear. “This dismissal of the appeals by the South African government reinforces the robustness of Baobab’s permitting processes despite continued attempts by narrow interest groups to halt the project’s progress. The recently announced phased development of Makhado includes the utilisation of the existing, modified Vele processing plant as well as road and rail infrastructure previously tested,” said MC Mining’s CEO Mr David Brown. MC Mining anticipates that funding-dependent construction of Makhado Phase 1 should commence in the third quarter of this year, adding that this would contribute significantly to the socio-economic development in the area and generating positive returns for shareholders in the near term.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 19 APRIL 2019

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe Wat sê die Bybel oor die Heilige Gees? Hierdie is die derde in ‘n reeks van drie oordenkings oor die Heilige Gees, en wat die Woord van God oor Hom openbaar. Lees: Johannes 14:15-31 (spesifiek verse 16,17 en 26).

eel 3: Die Heilige Gees woon tot in ewigheid in die gelowige Hoe lank is die ewigheid? Kan ‘n mens die ewigheid meet? Nee. Vir die mens is dit onmoontlik om die konsep van ewigheid behoorlik te verstaan. Niemand kan hulself indink presies hoe lank dit is nie. Al wat ons weet is dat die ewigheid iets is wat onophoudelik is. Wat ons egter ook moet weet, is dat dit is hoe lank die Heilige Gees in die gelowige woon. Van voor die gelowige se geboorte, regdeur die aardse lewe, tot die lewe daarna. Die Heilige Gees woon by elke gelowige individueel, want God verlang ‘n intieme, persoonlike verhouding met elkeen van sy kinders. Soos ons in vers 17 sien, is die Trooster wat deur Christus belowe en deur die Vader gegee word, vir ewig in die gelowige. Hy verlaat hom nooit. Wat beteken dit dat die Heilige Gees ewig in die gelowige bly? Eerstens is dit ‘n versekering dat God ons nooit sal verlaat nie. Ons kan nooit die Heilige Gees verloor, en daarmee saam ons geloof en verlossing nie. Ons, by wie die Heilige Gees is, is vir ewig veilig en beskerm by God. Omdat die Heilige Gees slegs aan gelowi ges gegee word, is die inwoning van die Heilige Gees juis ‘n groot bron van troos en geloofsekerheid. Regdeur die geskiedenis het die Heilige Gees gewoon in alle gelowiges. Almal wat behoort aan die ware kerk van Christus, almal wat deel is van sy liggaam, is vervul met die Gees. Tweedens beteken dit ook dat die mens nie uitgelewer word aan tydelike godsdienstige opwellinge of gevoelens nie. Wanneer die Heilige Gees in die gelowige woon, doen Hy dit permanent. Hy kom en gaan nie sommer net nie. Ons moet daarom nie soek na ‘n emosionele godsdienstige gevoel, ‘n buitengewone teken of belewenis nie. Hierdie dinge is nie die bewys van die teenwoordigheid van die Heilige Gees nie. ‘n Gelowige hoef nooit te poog om die Heilige Gees te probeer oortuig om na hom te kom en in hom te woon nie, want die Heilige Gees is reeds by hom. Die Heilige Gees woon nie net in ons nie, maar Hy maak ons volkome deel aan die heiligheid wat Christus verwerf het. Dit doen Hy juis terwyl Hy in ons woon. Hy neem alles weg wat skeiding maak tussen die ons en God, alle liefdeloosheid en ongehoorsaamheid. Wanneer die Heilige Gees in ons woon, is dit ook nie maar net ‘n passiewe handeling of ‘n gedeeltelike bewoning nie. Hy rus die gelowige toe om na God se stem te luister. Hy heilig ons lewens, sodat ons gehoorsaam aan God kan wees. Hy neem ten volle beheer oor ons lewens en regeer oor ons, sodat dit duidelik is dat ons deur God beheers word, en dat Christus in ons leef. Deur ons heiligmaking gee Hy ons ook die krag om in die geloof te volhard tot die dag van verheerliking, die dag van Christus wat weer kom. Ds. Hannes Lee (Gereformeerde Kerk Messina)

Tannie Rina sterf in ouderdom van 80 In Memoriam

Die Soutpansberg-gemeenskap het met hartseer verneem van die dood van die 80-jarige tannie Rina Stewart, boorling van Louis Trichardt, op Sondag, 14 April. Tannie Rina, ‘n nooi Hendriena Magdalena Hibbert, is op 25 Desember 1938 gebore as die oudste kind en enigste dogter van Adam en Lettie Hibbert. Sy het ‘n jonger broer, Albert, gehad. As kind het tannie Rina Laerskool Louis Trichardt bygewoon, waar Nictus vandag geleë is, en daarna haar hoërskoolloopbaan by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt voltooi. Ná skool het sy ‘n sekretariële diploma gaan doen in Pretoria. Nadat haar pa oorlede is, het tannie Rina na Louis Trichardt teruggekom om die twee meubelwinkels, Northern Furnishers in Louis Trichardt en Northern Furnishers in Messina, te kom bestuur. Sy het intussen haar toekomstige man, Roy Stewart, wat as teller by Standard Bank gewerk het, ontmoet en die twee is getroud op 1 September 1962. Drie kinders is uit die huwelik gebore, naamlik Karen, Robert en Greg. ‘n Paar jaar later is die meubelwinkel in Messina verkoop en het die egpaar hulle volle gewig by die plaaslike meubelwinkel ingegooi. Gedurende die tagtigs is die winkel verkoop en in die laat negentigs het Rina as skakelbord-operatrise by die Lugmagbasis Louis Trichardt gewerk. Tannie Rina se gesondheid het agteruit begin gaan en sy het getrek na Ons Tuiste waar sy sedert

2011 ‘n inwoner was. Die afgelope drie jaar was sy in die siekeboeg. Haar geheue was uitstekend en sy het verskeie gebeure en datums goed onthou. Haar gesondheid het op 7 April 2019 so versleg dat sy per ambulans na die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal vervoer is. Sy is in die vroeë oggendure van Sondag, 14 April, oorlede. Sy was sedert laerskooljare boesemvriende met Anthea Lombard van Beja Hengelparadys. Sy laat haar dogter, Karen Odendaal, skoonseun Alan Odendaal, seun Robert Stewart, jongste seun Gregory Stewart, skoondogter Elzabé Stewart en kleinseun Roy Stewart agter.

“Sy was ‘n vrou van haar woord en haar inte griteit was ten alle tye bo verdenking. Haar ja was ja en haar nee was nee,” het familievriend Daan Nel gesê. “Sy was ‘n besonderse mens en gaan baie deur haar familie gemis word. Ons wil graag dankie sê aan Herman de Bruin van Avbob vir die deernis en professionele diens. Dankie ook aan dokters Emil Gaigher en Fred Badenhorst vir die baie jare se ongelooflike bystand en geduld,” het die familie gesê. ‘n Gedenkdiens vir wyle tannie Rina word Donderdag, 18 April, om 09:00 vanuit die Haantjiekerk (NG Kerk Louis Trichardt) gehou.

25 jaar gelede in die Zoutpansberger is berig oor ‘n oud-inwoner van Louis Trichardt wat die gelukkige eienaar geword het van die heel eerste luisterhond van die SA Gidshondvereniging. Desireé Smith is doof vanaf geboorte en Flip is opgelei om haar “ore” te wees. Danksy hom is kommunikasie met ander mense heelwat vergemaklik en kon sy baie meer onafhanklik funksioneer.

Poster war escalates as parties jostle for space By Phathutshedzo Luvhengo

Above: Political pos ters on each and every traffic sign at the busy Stubbs Street / N1 traffic circle. The photo was taken last week Monday. The poster were promptly removed a day later, presumedly by SAN RAL staff. Left: In Musina, po litical parties have hammered their election posters onto baobab trees. This despite the fact that baobabs are a protected species, which makes it illegal to harm them without a permit. Photo sup plied.

politicians are allowed or not allowed to hang up their posters. According to the Code, as contained in the Electoral Act 73 of 1998, parties and candidates are only prohibited from using language that provokes violence, intimidates candidates or voters, publishes false information about other candidates or parties and destroy, remove or deface posters of other parties. Any party or candidate found guilty of breaching the code is guilty of a criminal offence and can be fined or sent to prison for up to 10 years. As to where posters may not be put up, this issue is regulated by other legislation, including each town’s municipal by-laws. This means that what is allowed in one town may not be allowed in another. Municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi was asked to give clarity on Makhado’s municipal by-law in this regard, but at the time of our going to press had yet to respond.

With the general elections around the corner on 8 May this year, a full-out poster war has erupted between political parties. Everywhere you look, lamp posts, traffic signs and even trees have become littered with political posters. But are political parties allowed to put up their posters wherever they want to? Ms Nkaro Mateta, Limpopo’s provincial electoral officer, said that politicians were indeed not allowed to hang up their posters on traffic signs. “We did a workshop with political organisations in which we informed them about the Electoral Code of Conduct. They know that it is not allowed, but they are doing it deliberately,” she said. In Musina, political parties have hammered their election posters onto baobab trees. This despite the fact that baobabs are a protected species, which makes it illegal to harm them without a permit. According to Mateta, the poster wars usually spiral out of control over election time, despite politicians’ being warned of the consequences. The question remains: Are political parties acting out of ignorance or arrogance? Many say it is a question of both. So, what exactly are the consequences of putting up a political poster where it does not belong? Political parties that breach the Code of Conduct can be fined up to R200 000, have to give up the party’s election deposit, be stopped from working in an area, have their votes in an area cancelled and, in a worst-case scenario, have their party registration cancelled. What can the man in the street do to curb the problem? “Members of the public can report these politicians to their nearest IEC offices,” said Mateta. If the electoral code of conduct is breached, Political posters on traffic signs at the N1/Main the matter can be referred to the electoral court. What is important to note at this stage is that the Street entrance to Eltivillas in Louis Trichardt. Electoral Code of Conduct does not specify where Photo supplied.

Mopanie-omgewing neem hartseer afskeid van bekende Charles Visser In Memoriam

Inwoners van veral die Mo panie-omgewing het met hart seer kennis geneem van die skielik dood van die 67-jarige mnr. Charles Visser op 13 April. Charles sal onthou word vir sy jarelange betrokkenheid by die myn en die bekende “Stasiewinkel” op Mopanie. “My pa was vir meer as 20 jaar woonagtig op Mopanie. Voor dit het hy tot so 1996 houtwerk op Louis Trichardt gedoen,” het dogter Leanie gesê. Charles, wat oorspronklik vanaf Pretoria kom, het in sy vroeë twintigs ‘n ernstige motorfietsongeluk oorleef. “Hy het nooit regtig heeltemal daarvan herstel nie,” het Leanie gesê. Sy gesondheid het die laaste paar

maande stelselmatig agteruit begin gaan, totdat sy susters (Ena Stock van Rosetta naby Mooi rivier en Elsabe van den Berg van Pietermaritzburg) hom sowat drie maande gelede kom haal het om bietjie vir hulle te gaan kuier. “My pa is gedurende die aand van Vrydagnag en Saterdag oggend in sy slaap by sy suster Ena oorlede. Sy gesondheid was veral die laaste week baie sleg,” het Leanie gesê. Wyle Charles word oorleef deur sy dogters Leanie Dippenaar, Karlien Visser, skoonseun MC Dippenaar en kleinkinders Johan en Rihanna. Teen druktyd was finale begrafnisreëlings nog nie bekend nie. Leanie kon wel bevestig dat hy veras sal word, met ‘n roudiens wat vir hom op Mopanie gehou sal word. “Dit is maar waar meeste van sy mense,

Wyle Charles Visser (67).

sy vriende, is. Hy het maar ‘n kluisenaarslewe gely en was maar ‘n korrelkop ,” het Leanie gesê. Leanie-hulle het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor al die familie en vriende vir hulle woorde van vertroosting en bystand in hierdie moeilike tyd. Hulle het veral vir Ena en Elsabe bedank vir hul versorging van Charles die laaste paar maande. “Hy gaan beslis erg gemis word maar nooit vergeet word nie. Hy was so ‘n groot deel van wie en wat ek is, dat ‘n groot deel van hom nog steeds bly lewe in my … Hy is en sal altyd ‘n deel wees van my. Hy het finaal sy rus en vrede waarna hy so gesmag het. Ek is wie ek is omdat hy my pa was. Rus sag my rots, my leermeester en my pa. Lief jou oneindig,” het dogter Karlien vanuit Namibië geskryf.

Mayor delivers annual performance report By Phathutshedzo Luvhengo

Die Swartkop-honderdpootvreter (Aparallactus capensis). Foto’s: Limpopo Snake Removals.

Soos die naam sê jag hy honderdpote en is hy feitlik onskadelik vir mense Omgewingsnuus

In hierdie week se gereelde kolom oor die Soutpansberg se slange word daar gekyk na die Swartkop-honderdpoot vreter (Aparallactus capensis). “Hierdie klein, slanke slangetjie van ongeveer 30 cm tot ‘n maksimum van 40 cm is deur die nag aktief en word gereeld in tuine aangetref onder tuinrommel en ook onder klippe en ou termietneste,” sê plaaslike slangkenner en vanger Jan “Slang” van Rooyen.

Soos die naam aandui, maak hierdie slangetjie aktief jag op honderdpote, wat hulle vasbyt en kou totdat die gif inskop. Die honderdpoot word dan kop eerste ingesluk. “Alhoewel hierdie slangetjie deel is van die agtertand slange en matig giftig is, het die gif amper geen uitwerking op die mens nie. Die slangetjies byt ook slegs in baie uiterste gevalle,” het Jan gesê. Weens die feit dat hulle selde byt, het Jan versoek dat mense eerder die slang met rus moet

laat. “As hy dalk in jou huis inkom, kan hy maar net met ‘n besem uitgevee word,” het Jan gesê. Jan het mense uitgenooi om hom of Frikkie Venter te skakel indien hulle ‘n probleem met ‘n slang ondervind. “Laat ons die slang eerder kom vang as wat hy doodgemaak word,” het Jan gesê. Jan se nommer is 081 217 9213 en Frikkie kan geskakel word by 082 058 7601. Jan kan ook gekontak word vir meer inligting oor slange.

As of June last year, the Makhado Municipality had a total number of 700 employees and 134 va cant positions. The wage bill for both employees and councillors amounted to R282,58 million in the 2017/18 financial year. These are some of the figures from the summarised annual performance report of the municipality’s 2017/18 financial year. During the year, the municipality implemented a total of 10 capital projects, most of which had been the construction of roads. Only four projects were completed, namely Gombita Phase 1, Valdezia Phase 1, Tshirolwe Phase 1 and Tshikwarani Phase 1. The municipality had spent 100% of its Municipal Infrastructure Grants (MIG) with the initial approved budget of R91 170 000. This budget was later adjusted to R106 160 000 and eventually brought the actual expenditure to a total of R106 169 000. The report states that the municipality is currently busy with 10 capital projects that are at various stages of completion in the 2018/19 financial year. “It is anticipated that the majority of these projects, when completed, will improve access to many villages,” reads the report. The report further states that, although water provision is the responsibility of the Vhembe District Municipality, it remains one of the main challenges. The disruption and shortage of water supply in residential areas and the lack of bulk supply for residential and industrial development continues to be a hurdle for this municipality. The report states that the budget has been allocated during the 2018/19 financial year to purchase required machinery, since a shortage of graders for internal street grading is a big challenge. According to the report, the municipality is in the process of developing and approving a revenue-enhancement strategy. Some of the revenue-enhancement initiatives include the installation

of pre-paid electricity meters. The municipality also wants to intensify credit control mechanisms, speed up the response in resolving disputed accounts and address the responsible sale of municipal land for development. The report indicates that the municipality does not have any outstanding statutory financial obligation as at the end of the first quarter of the 2018/19 financial year. “The Municipality is able to pay retentions as and when the projects are successfully completed and after the Defects Liability Period. The balance of the retention as at the end of the previous financial year was R 21 million.” The 2017/18 annual performance report was delivered by the municipality’s mayor, Cllr Samuel Munyai, during the Municipal Public Account Committee (MPAC) public participation meeting that was held at Waterval last month and subsequently at the Makhado Show Grounds three weeks ago.

Makhado Project thermal off-take agreement signed Mining News

MC Mining announced on Tuesday the conclu sion of a coal-sale and purchase agreement for the export-quality thermal coal to be produced by Phase 1 of the Makhado hard-coking and thermal-coal project in the Nzhelele valley. The parties to the agreement are MC Mining’s whol ly owned subsidiary, the Limpopo Coal Com pany (Limpopo), and one of the world’s largest producers and marketers of bulk commodities. MC Mining’s subsidiary, Baobab Mining and Exploration, is the owner of the Makhado Project and the nine-month Phase-1 construction period is expected to commence during the third quarter of 2019. “Phase 1 will generate approximately three million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of run-of-mine (ROM) coal from the west pit and this will undergo preliminary processing at the mine, yielding an estimated 2Mtpa of ROM coal. The resultant ROM coal will be transported and sold to Limpopo which will, with its modified plant, complete the final processing, producing up to 0.57Mtpa of export-quality thermal coal and 0.54Mtpa of hard-coking coal,” said MC Mining in a press release. Construction of Phase 2 at the Makhado Project (Makhado Lite) in 2020, said MC Mining, is expected to produce 4Mtpa of ROM coal from the east and central pits, resulting in some 1.0Mtpa of thermal coal. According to MC Mining, one of the key highlights of the agreement is that the saleable thermal coal will be delivered to the Musina siding and sold on a free-on-rail basis, which takes into account the actual rail and port charges. “We have contracted with one of the world’s largest producers and marketers of seaborne traded coal for the majority of the life of Phase 1. The signing of this agreement is a further significant step in the advancement of Makhado,” said MC Mining’s CEO Mr David Brown. Brown added that the phased development of the Makhado Project will generate a significant number of employment opportunities in the Limpopo Province and the export of the thermal coal will utilise previously tested logistical infrastructure.

Die gholfdag wat die diakonie van die Gereformeerde Kerk Louis Trichardt Saterdag by die Soutpansberg Gholfklub aangebied het, was ‘n groot sukses en 100 spelers het deelgeneem. Die dag het gesorg vir baie pret, veral by die 15de putjie waar die spelers met ‘n linkerhandse stok moes afslaan. Die prysuitdeling is afgesluit met ‘n veiling, waartydens ‘n jagpakket en ‘n grasdak lapa onder die hamer gekom. Ná die tyd is daar heerlik gebraai en gekuier. Die voorsitter van die diakonie, Stefan Barnard, het ná afloop van die verrigtinge gesê dat hulle beoog om dit ‘n jaarlikse instelling te maak. Hy het al die borge en skenkers bedank vir hul aandeel in die sukses van die dag.

The development of parasport in Limpopo re ceived a huge boost of encouragement recently when a team of new paraathletes travelled to Stellenbosch to participate in the Toyota 2019 SASAPD (South African Sports Association for Physically Disabled) National Parasport Championships. Three of these para-athletes came from the 12 Eagle Team from the Collins Chabane Municipality. After having been introduced to the track events only in 2018 at the Isability Mass participation event held in Louis Trichardt, these athletes showed their potential by bringing home gold, silver and bronze! Ntsieni Hendrick Mambane, who is a single-leg amputee, took first place on the podium with gold in three events, namely the men’s open category F42 javelin, shotput and discus. Hendrick Thinan-

davha Nemurura achieved silver in the men’s open category F57 javelin, and Vidah Muthubi achieved silver and bronze in the women’s open F43 javelin and discus. A para-athlete from the Makhado Local Municipality, Vumbani Masakona, also managed to achieve silver in the men’s open field javelin event. The athletes are grateful to the Makhado Local Municipality for sponsoring their transport to the event in Stellenbosch. In the ongoing drive to develop more sporting and participation opportunities in the Limpopo, community members with physical or visual challenges who wish to learn more about participating in para-sports are invited to contact some of the athletes or organizers involved in development. They are the co-ordinator of Disabled Sport in the Limpopo Province, Ernest Netshitanini at 073 455 7034, Hendrik Nemurura at 082 483 8272, Sandy James at 084 506 3333 or Sheryl James at 083 621 9041.

Athletes and family supporters share the joy of winning medals. From left to right are Vhumbani Masakona, Ntsieni Hendrik Mambane, Ruben Mambane, Michael Mulaudzi, Tendamudzimu Mudau, Muthumuni Mauba, Rembuluwani and Hendrick Nemurura. Photo supplied.
