New completion date for N1 Musina ring road - page 4
Absolute outrage! By Isabel Venter
Controversy continues to surround the proposed further development of the Makhado Crossing shopping mall in Louis Trichardt. The Makhado Municipality came under fire this week after local sports clubs were nothing short of hoodwinked out of their respective facilities. While investigating Council’s conduct surrounding the development, several dubious practices came to light. For one, it is widely speculated that Council deliberately kept the clubs in the dark for the development to be pushed through to avoid any more objections from the clubs. Governing bodies of the various sports clubs affected by the proposed mall development were shocked to learn this week that contractors were on site and had already started with ground clearing. In the process, the jukskei club’s facilities had already been demolished. The club is understandably furious because they now have nowhere to practise for upcoming tournaments, of which the first was scheduled to take place this weekend. Other properties in jeopardy include the town’s rugby, soccer and netball fields and the well-known rugby lapa. All of them will have to make way for Makhado Crossing to be expanded into a much bigger regional mall. The current owner and developer of the mall is the Masingita Group of Companies.
When the newspaper spoke to the various representatives of the sports clubs, it became clear that none of them was any the wiser as to what the municipality was up to. Representatives told the newspaper that they had received an invitation to a site meeting on Monday to be held at the rugby field the following morning. More than one representative could not attend this meeting because of the short notice given. As it turned out, the meeting had been scheduled to give clubs feedback on the progress of their relocation, with the only progress being that a contractor for Masingita had gone on site on Monday, 15 January. (The newspaper confirmed with sources at the rugby lapa that construction had in fact already started on Thursday, 11 January). Following the municipality’s announcement, further particulars were few and far between, with some being downright sketchy. According to what the newspaper could glean from various people who attended the meeting, the municipality itself could not provide any solid plans or presentations on how exactly the different sports clubs’ relocations would be dealt with. This was found to be in direct violation of all previous undertakings by Council regarding the matter, and even of what was undertaken between Masingita and the municipality. According to attendees, a representative of Masingita read out sections of a contract in which it was agreed that
Masingita would first finalize the relocation of the various sports facilities before they would start with construction. Council had also, way back in 2015 during their 103rd special council meeting, held on 12 November, resolved that a part of the purchase price, as determined, had to be used for the relocation of

It was also made clear that the relocation of the various sports facilities would first be concluded before any development could be conducted. (Contd on P2)
This was where the town’s jukskei facilities used to be. These were demolished this week without notice to the club to make way for the Masingita Group of Companies’ proposed expansion of Makhado Crossing into a regional mall.

Toename in gevalle van malaria kommerwekkend Deur Andries van Zyl

Outrage after fields are demolished (Contd from P1) The following year, at the 120th special Council meeting on 30 May 2017, the municipality resolved to put aside a capital amount of R7 431 707.25 for the relocation of the rugby stadium, squash courts and other sporting facilities as provided for in the provisions of the sale agreement with Masingita. Why, then, would council go back on their word and simply stand by idly as sporting facilities were demolished? This and other urgent ques-
tions regarding the development were forwarded to the municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, on Tuesday. Bobodi said on Wednesday, however, that he had not had time to prepare any response because of the various back-to-school campaigns that were taking place the same day. Sports club representatives at Tuesday’s meeting were also informed that the municipality would provide a detailed time schedule of the planned development during a follow-up meeting, scheduled to take place on 26 January (next Friday).
This, and the fact that Masingita indicated that ground clearing needed to be done by April for construction to start, raised several concerns. Representatives of the rugby club, for instance, were extremely sceptical that the rugby and soccer fields would be relocated before then as it takes more than a year before new fields will be match ready. The big question remains: Who gave the go-ahead for existing sports facilities to be demolished before any attempt was made to relocate these facilities to a new site?
Die Nasionale Instituut vir Oordraagbare Siektes (NIOS) het gewaarsku dat daar die afgelope jaar ‘n kommerwekkende toename in die aantal malariagevalle was in veral Limpopo en in Mpumalanga. Volgens die NIOS is daar in November 2017 in totaal 1 414 malaria gevalle en 10 sterftes as gevolg van die siekte by hulle aangemeld. In die ooreenstemmende tyd in 2016 is slegs 294 gevalle en twee sterftes aangemeld. Negentig persent van die 1 414 malaria gevalle was afkomstig vanuit die Limpopo en Mpumalanga provinsies, met die Vhembe en Mopani distrikte wat 90% van Limpopo se gevalle opgelewer het. Wat Mpumalanga betref, was 94% van die malaria gevalle afkomstig vanuit die Bosbokrand-omgewing. In Mpumalanga is 62% van die gevalle deur die NIOS as “plaaslik oorgedra” geklassifiseer, terwyl 38% van die gevalle geklassifiseer is as “ingevoerde” malaria gevalle, hoofsaaklik uit Mosambiek. Gevalle van “ingevoerde” malaria, wat veroorsaak word deur die sogenaamde “taxi” of “reisende” muskiet, het die afgelope paar jaar in intensiteit toegeneem. Dit gebeur nou al hoe meer dat mense in nie-malaria gebiede malaria kan opdoen. Dit is vanweë die besmette wyfie Anopheles muskiet (wat die malariaparasiet versprei) wat haar weg vind na nie-malaria gebiede in vragmotors, busse en taxi’s vanuit buurlande en hoë-risiko malaria gebiede. Die frekwensie in die getal “ingevoerde” malaria gevalle het so toegeneem dat die Departement van Gesondheid in hulle 2018 Riglyne vir die behandeling van Malaria spesifiek hiervan melding maak en dokters in voorheen malaria-vrye areas versoek het om hul kennis van
die siekte op te skerp. Dr. Anton Stroebel, ‘n geneesheer by die Prognos mediese sentrum in Louis Trichardt, het Maandag gesê dat hulle die afgelope paar maande definitief ‘n toename in die getal malaria-gevalle ervaar het. Hy het bygevoeg dat hulle selfs dwarsdeur die 2017 winter malariagevalle gesien en opgeneem het. “Ons ervaar deurlopend ‘n toename. In hierdie stadium sien ons weekliks gevalle. Verlede week het ons ‘n slegte geval van serebrale malaria gehad,” het Stroebel gesê. Volgens Stroebel moet mense nie meer wag vir die klassieke simptome van malaria nie. Klassieke simptome sluit in koors, griepsimptome en hoofpyn. “As jy sleg voel en jy was in ‘n malaria-area, laat toets liewers vir malaria. Jy kan nie te veel toets nie,” het Stroebel gesê. Baie mense besef egter steeds nie hoe gevaarlik malaria kan wees nie. Die siekte versprei vinnig en kan binne 24 uur selfs noodlottig wees. “Malaria is ‘n dodelike siekte … Dit is dus belangrik dat daar dadelik met behandeling begin moet word wanneer jy met malaria gediagnoseer word,” het Stroebel gesê. Te midde van die toename in malariagevalle blyk daar tans nie rede tot paniek te wees nie. Dit is belangrik om te onthou dat die wyfie Anopheles muskiet nie endemies aan Louis Trichardt is nie. Daar is egter maar altyd ‘n insidensie van malariagevalle in die streek, vanweë die feit dat die dorp grens aan ‘n verklaarde malaria-area. (Sien meegaande kaart). ‘n Groter kans vir die voorkoms van malaria bestaan egter tans, vanweë gunstige weersomstandighede vir die verspreiding van die siekte. Die hoogseisoen vir die voorkoms van malaria strek vanaf Oktober tot Maart, en die laagseisoen vanaf Maart tot Oktober. Verlede jaar het die getal malariagevalle in April en Mei gepiek en selfs voortgeduur tot in Junie vanweë buitengewone warm weersomstandighede.
Gesin beroof deur “munisipale” werkers Misdaad
‘n Gesin van Eltivillas het Dinsdag ‘n gewapende aanval oorleef. Ná afloop van die voorval soek die Makhado Polisie nog onverpoosd na die twee verdagtes wat hulself glo voorgedoen het as munisipale werkers. Volgens plaaslike polisie woordvoerder konst. Irene Radzilane is die roof voorafgegaan deur twee verdagtes wat Maandag by die gesin se huis opgedaag het onder die voorwendsel dat hulle daar was om die watermeterlesings te neem vir die Makhado Munisipaliteit.
Hierdie was nie dieselfde verdagtes wat die gesin toe die volgende dag kom beroof het nie. “Die twee verdagtes [van M a a n d a g ] h e t d i e g e s i n meegedeel dat hulle later sou terugkom om die meter te herstel, omdat dit stukkend is,” het Radzilane gesê. Die volgende dag, ongeveer 12:00, het twee ander verdagtes by die gesin se huis opgedaag. Hulle het glo gesê hulle was van die munisipaliteit en was daar om die watermeter te herstel. Hierdie verdagtes het net soos hulle voorgangers van die vorige dag blou oorpakke aangehad. Die oomblik toe dié twee
verdagtes ingelaat is, het hulle vuurwapens uitgepluk en geld geëis by die huismense. “Toe hulle planne nie geslaag het nie, het die verdagtes hulle toegespits op die twee vrouens in die huis en hulle juweliersware van hulle nekke afgepluk en op die vlug geslaan,” het Radzilane gesê. Geen skote is geskiet tydens die voorval nie en niemand is ernstig beseer nie. Die polisie ‘n beroep gedoen op inwoners om hulle te help soek na die vier verdagtes. Enige iemand met inligting wat die polisie kan help kan die Makhado Polisie skakel by Tel 015 519 4300.
Green ID books remain valid, says DHA Government News
Reports doing the rounds about the limited lifespan of the green barcoded identity (ID) books are false. The director general of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), Mr Mkuseli Apleni, last week condemned the spreading of these false reports on social media. He said the DHA had been flooded with enquiries from concerned citizens. According to the false report, the green ID books will supposedly be phased out by March 2018 or anytime soon thereafter. This is the second time that the DHA has had to speak up about the incorrect rumours that have made the rounds. According to Apleni, the reports first surfaced towards the end of last year, masquerading as an official notice from the DHA. Apleni was addressing the media in Pretoria on Wednesday, 10 January, where he explained that, contrary to these malicious rumours, the green ID book
would not be phased out. He said the rumours had put DHA offices across the country under extreme pressure as it drove citizens in great numbers to apply for smart ID cards in panic. According to Apleni, the rollout of the new smart ID cards was launched in July 2013. This had to be done systematically, he explained, as the data showed that 38 million citizens had the old green ID books and offices had to be updated to capture the new applications. Initially, applicants and senior citizens were allowed to apply for the new smart ID cards, free of charge. Since then, seven million people have received their ID cards. As more and more offices are upgraded, the DHA’s capacity has increased to deal with other citizens’ applications for the new ID card. “Of our 411 offices, 184 are currently [equipped] with live capture [systems], which can process applications for smart ID cards and passports, while 227
offices are still to be modernised. We intend to continue rolling out additional smart ID card offices in order to cover the majority of our population in all provinces,” explained Apleni. People can also approach their local bank to assist them with their application. Participating banks include FNB, Absa, Nedbank and Standard Bank. Apleni also said the department was working on developing a mobile solution to support the rollout of the smart ID cards. In the meantime, Apleni encouraged people who wish to apply for their ID card or passport to make use of the DHA’s online application system to help ease the throng of people flocking to their offices. The online applications – eHomeAffairs – can be accessed by logging on to https://ehome. dha.gov.za/echannel. From this platform, citizens can register a profile, after which they can log on to the DHA’s capturing system and register their application.

Die Levubu, gebeur het. Ralda en manlief André gaan hou elke oggend van 20 November het sy by die jaar vakansie in Jongensfontein, naby huis wakker geword met ‘n dowwe pyn Stilbaai. Vanjaar was egter anders as onder haar ribbes, wat gevoel het soos ‘n vorige jare. Nadat hulle op 5 Desember bloukol, soos wanneer mens jouself teen by hul bestemming gearriveer het, het iets gestamp het. “Dit het daar gebly en nie weggegaan Ralda skielik ernstig siek geword. ‘n Dag nie … Eers nou, ná alles, het ons besef later moes sy inderhaas in die Bayview Hospitaal in Mosselbaai opgeneem word. dat dit moontlik my milt en ingewande was wat begin swel het,” het Ralda gesê. Die diagnose? Malaria, van alle dinge! Die aand van 4 Desember was ‘n erge Om met malaria in die hospitaal te nag vir Ralda. “Dit was ‘n nag van pynbeland, was die laaste ding wat Ralda verwag het. “Die simptome wat ek gehad like prikkels deur my hele lyf, warm- en het, het glad nie ooreengestem met die kouekoors. Deur die dag was ek piekfyn bekende simptome waarna ons normaal- en het niks makeer nie,” het Ralda gesê. Teen 5 Desember het Ralda se toestand weg verwys wanneer ons dink aan malaria nie,” het Ralda die afgelope week aan die verder agteruit gegaan. Sy kon nie slaap nie en het erge kouekoors gehad. “Ek het Zoutpansberger gesê. So byvoorbeeld, het Ralda gesê, het die heeltyd net nog klere bly aantrek,” het sy nooit hoofpyn, verkoue simptome of Ralda gesê. Teen 12:00 die middag is daar besluit om Ralda by ‘n plaaslike dokter op Stilbaai te kry. In daardie stadium het haar koors gestyg tot net bo 40°C. “Die dokter het dit as ‘n angsaanval gediagnoseer en kalmeermiddels voorgeskryf, maar André het daarop aangedring dat hulle vir malaria toets,” het Ralda gesê. Daar is toe wel vir malaria getoets, met die uitslag wat positief teruggekom het. Die uitslag het Ralda-hulle ietwat Die wyfie Anopheles muskiet wat die malaria verstom. “Ek was in die maand parasiet versprei is nie endemies aan Louis voor my siekte net in die Trichardt nie.

en omgewing, Musina en omgewing, sowel as in die Kruger Wildtuin, waar ons by Tzendze gekamp het. Ek is egter een van daardie oorversigtige mense wat altyd alles in plek het vir muskiete en die voorkoming van malaria, aangesien my man André dit ongeveer 14 jaar gelede gehad het en ook baie, baie siek was. Dus was dit ‘n groot skrik!” het Ralda gesê. Ten spyte van ‘n positiewe malariadiagnose, het die dokter egter vir Ralda-hulle meegedeel dat sy geen kennis en ervaring rondom die behandeling van malaria het nie. Dit het André genoop om die hulp van dr. Anton Stroebel van Louis Trichardt in te roep. Stroebel het Maandag by navraag gesê dat dit nie vreemd is dat geneeshere in gebiede waar malaria glad nie voorkom nie, min kennis aangaande die siekte het nie. “In ‘n plek soos Stilbaai het plaaslike geneeshere nie eers malaria toetstoerus ting in hul spreekkamers nie. Wat goed is, is dat hulle Ralda wel vir malaria getoets het tydens haar eerste besoek aan die dokter,” het Stroebel gesê. Die feit dat malaria ‘n rare siekte in die Kaap is, was ook die rede waarom daar aanvanklik nie die nodige medikasie beskikbaar was om Ralda te behandel nie. Stroebel het egter deurlopend telefonies die medici in die Kaap bygestaan. Ralda is eers op 9 Desember uit die hospitaal ontslaan. “Ek het geen vakansie gehad nie en was die hele Desember siek,” het Ralda gesê. Sy is egter bly om weer gesond by die huis te wees. Ná afloop van haar siekte het sy egter inwoners gewaarsku om hulle eerder te laat toets vir malaria, al was hulle nie ‘n ‘n malariagebied nie en al wys hulle nie die normale malariasimptome nie. “As jy sleg voel, laat jou eerder toets vir malaria,” het Ralda van Wyk van Levubu wat tydens haar Desember-vakansie deur Ralda gesê.

Seldsame foto’s van die rivier wat by Wyliespoort oorstroom het ná sikloon Astrid deur die poort is en groot skade aangerig het aan die nuwe nasionale pad wat amper klaar gebou was. Foto’s: Gert Smit, 2 Januarie 1958.
Sikloon Astrid se skade 60 jaar gelede Deur Isabel Venter
Terwyl die stygende kwik menige inwoners van die Soutpansberg lekker laat sweet het oor die Desembervakansie, was dit amper moeilik om te glo dat die streek in die vyftigerjare oor dieselfde tyd verspoel het. Tussen Desember 1957 en Januarie 1958 het sikloon Astrid groot skade veroorsaak in die Soutpansberg-gebied. Geskiedkundige foto’s, wat op 2 Januarie 1958 deur mnr. Gert Smit van Levubu geneem is, is presies 60 jaar later deur ‘n navorser vir die Universiteit van Venda, Dr Norbert Hahn, op sy Facebook-blad geplaas. Dié geskiedkundige foto’s wys die geweldige skade wat Astrid aangerig het toe die rivier by Wyliespoort oorstroom het. In daardie jare was
die bouwerk aan die nasionale pad amper voltooi gewees. Die natuurramp is beskryf in die eeufees geskiedenisboek van Johann WN Tempelhoff. Volgens Tempelhoff het die rivier by Wyliespoort oorstroom en gedeeltes van die nuwe pad heeltemal beskadig. Met dié dat die pas oor die berg onbegaanbaar was, was heelwat mense gestrand. Tempelhoff skryf in sy boek dat sowat 80 toeriste, onderweg na Rhodesië (hedendaagse Zimbabwe), moes omdraai en noodgedwonge by die munisipale kantore om hulp aanklop. ‘n Sekere mnr. Frans Jacobs het toe een van die koshuise by ‘n plaaslike skool tot die gestrandes se beskikking gestel. Altesaam 150 plaaslike boere het ingespring en varsprodukte geskenk, sodat die mense darem iets
te ete gehad het.‘n Noodfonds is ook op die been gebring, wat £190 ingesamel het om mense wat tekorte ervaar het te help. Die nadraai van die vloed het darem vir die volgende paar jaar baie beteken vir die ekonomie van Louis Trichardt. “Hierdie gebeurtenis het Louis Trichardt op die kaart geplaas sover [dit] Rhodesië betref, en sal ons sekerlik in die toekoms baie daarby baat,” het die destydse stadsklerk opgemerk. Volgens Tempelhoff was die klerk reg in sy voorspelling. In die jare wat gevolg het ná sikloon Astrid was vriendskaplike betrekkinge met die Zimbabwiërs van groot belang vir die dorp. Dit het die ekonomie van Louis Trichardt aansienlik bevoordeel namate Zimbabwe in die daaropvolgende jare die teiken van internasionale boikotaksies geword het.

Another mine wants to cash in on local riches By Isabel Venter
Mining companies appear to be determined to get their hands on the Soutpansberg’s rich mineral resources. The most recent company to set its sights on the northern part of the Limpopo valley is Smarty (South Africa) Mineral Investment (Pty) Ltd. This Sandton-based company acquired prospecting rights in 2016 on seven farms near Musina where they found a viable copper deposit. According to the company, their exploration work over the past two years has proven to them that sufficient ore reserves exist to support a large open-cast mine, hence their eagerness to apply for a mining-right licence. This process is already well on its way. Part of A map included in the environmental impact assessment report, detailing the proposed mining the application requires the company to get enviarea of Smarty Investments. ronmental authorisation before they can proceed. A draft environmental impact assessment (EIA) report was released last week by Smarty Investment’s appointed environmental consultant, Golder Associates Africa (Pty) Ltd. According to this document, the proposed mining area will stretch over Ward 2 and 6 of Musina. This includes the south-eastern outskirts of the Nancefield informal settlement outside Musina, and the north-western border of Musina’s residential areas. If the mine becomes a reality, this will mean that a limitation will exist on the boundaries for the town to expand and grow in the future. Sharing close borders with the site is the Musina Nature Reserve (located immediately south), the Maremani Nature Reserve (to the north) and the Soutpansberg Important Bird Area (which is approximately 30km south of the prospective mine). The proposed copper mining project is located on Mnr. Freddie de Swardt van Louis Trichardt is lekker boos vir die munisipale raad, hetsy Makhado of Vhembe, vir die gemors wat hulle voor sy besigheidsperseel in Unikastraat gelos het. Volgens De Swardt besef hy daar moet oopgegrawe word om aan ondergrondse kabels en pype te werk, maar hy kan nie verstaan waarom daar altyd so ‘n gemors agtergelaat moet word nie. “Dit kos my tyd, geld en moeite om die sypaadjie voor my besigheid netjies te hou. Die minste wat hulle kon doen was om net die grond weer te probeer gelykmaak. Ek sal self weer gras plant,” het De Swardt gesê. Sy frustrasie is nie uniek nie en baie ander inwoners sal van soortgelyke voorvalle kan getuig. De Swardt sê hulle het ook in die proses onder meer sy palissadeheining beskadig, soos in die foto gesien kan word. Foto’s verskaf.

a water divide. Two non-perennial streams are running through the site. One joins the Sand River and the other the Limpopo River. Apart from the high risk of contamination of these streams, the mine will be using an estimated 13 473 m³ per day, of which 6 768 m³/day will be raw water. The rest will represent groundwater inflow into the opencast pits and runoff channelled from the dirty areas to the pollution-control dam. The “moderate to high significance on the groundwater” seems to be only a minor hurdle for Smarty Investments, who continually places the emphasis on the many economic and social benefits mining will hold for the town of Musina. “Smarty’s prospecting programme and subsequent feasibility studies have demonstrated that a viable mining operation can be established that would provide significant benefits to the local economy and about 600 employment opportunities for at least 15 years,” quotes the prospective mine’s EIA. The report further claims that the mine will deliver approximately 20 000 tons of copper per year. To unearth this copper, this will necessitate an open-cast mine as well as the construction of a crushing plant and components for screening, flotation and/or heap leaching. The report is still open for public comment until 5 February. In Musina, a copy of the report can be found at the offices of the local municipality (contact person Mr Masindi Makaulule at Tel 015 534 6124) or the Musina Tourism Information Centre (contact person Mr Itani Dzebu at Tel 015 534 3500). Electronic copies of the report can also be requested from Golder Associates Africa by writing an email to ppoffice@golder.co.za.
Still time to comment on Makhado Lite Project’s EA amendments Public Notice
Members of the public are invited to comment on the proposed amendments that CoAL of Africa Limited, or rather MC Mining as they are now known, want to make to their Makhado Lite Project (MLP) environmental authorisation (EA). Towards the end of last year, MC Mining announced that they would, through a subsidiary company called Baobab Mining and Exploration Pty Limited (Baobab), apply for certain amendments to their existing EA. The amendments were necessitated to factor in the impact that the transportation of coal will have on local roads. Coal from the Makhado Colliery, situated in the Nzhelele valley near Mudemeli Village, needs to be transported to the railway station in Musina. In their amended environmental report, Baobab proposed three possible routes, of which the shortest one will follow the N1 north into Musina. Road transport, instead of railway transport, needed to be considered as a result of the downsiz-
ing of the Makhado Mine. In terms of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, a mine is obligated to draft a new environmental report that factors in any changes and proposed mitigations thereof, to be approved by the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET). Currently, the Makhado Project holds an executable mining right. All that stands in the way of the mine’s becoming operational is the final authorisation of the amendments to the environmental impact assessment report and the lifting of a suspension on the water-use licence. An automatic suspension was placed on the water licence, following the Vhembe Mineral Resources Forum’s objection to the Department of Water Affairs’ granting thereof. In the meantime, interested and affected parties are invited to comment on the new environmental report by contacting the mine’s Public Participation Office at Tel 012 543 9093 or by writing an email to makhado.project@gmail.com. Parties will be afforded 30 calendar days (calculated from 15 January 2018) to submit their comments. Afterwards, dates for public hearings will be published.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe
W
at is gemeenskap met God? Gemeenskap met God is iets wonderlik. Wanneer kinders van God bymekaar is, praat hulle oor hul Christen werk en Christen belangstellings, hoe dit in die gemeente gaan, ens. Selde word egter gepraat oor hul ondervinding en wandel met God. John Owen, die Puritein, het gesê: “Christus is ons beste vriend en binnekort ons enigste vriend. Ek bid met my hele hart dat ek moeg sal word vir alle dinge behalwe om met God te praat en gemeenskap met Hom.” Die Here het siekte en ander druk van die lewe gebruik om John Owen na Hom te dryf in gemeenskap met Hom. Met ander woorde, te midde van sy akademiese en godsdienstige verpligtinge, het hy gereeld met God verkeer. En wanneer hy met God gemeenskap gehad het, het hy nie net gevra vir dinge of selfs verlossing van sy vele probleme nie. Hy het gegaan om by sy wonderlike Vriend te wees en sy grootheid te ervaar. Daar kan geen beter voorbereiding wees vir ons toekomstige genot van die heerlikheid van Christus as om ons nou te verdiep in die openbaring van die Here Jesus in die Skrif nie. Verlustig jou in die Woord van God en gebed; dit is die beste manier om met die Here gemeenskap te hê. Dit is egter nie al manier om met Hom gemeenskap te hê nie. Dink aan die Nagmaal, dienste, bidure ensovoorts. Om tot God te nader deur gebed en sy Woord te bepeins bring lig en vryheid. Bid tot God en vra Hom vir so ‘n ywer vir sy woord en gebed. Ervaar jy daagliks die seën en vrede van gemeenskap met God? - 079 516 8303 Voorkeur word gegee aan kort briewe oor plaaslike aangeleenthede.

teaches a love for the environment and a respect for other cultures. Being home-based, the Montessori Gems school offers its Louis Trichardt students both a rich indoor and outdoor environment, including opportunities to cultivate their own vegetable garden. Classrooms are colourful and offer plenty of sensory school material to stimulate young minds. In addition, Frances’s centre will offer practical
training to student teachers enrolled with MCSA. “It is my dream, in the years to come, to open this type of centre in the more rural areas of Limpopo,” said Frances. People interested in enrolling their children at Montessori Gems can contact Frances at Tel 083 778 1412 or by sending her an email at montessorigems@gmail.com or by visiting her website at https://montessorigems.wixsite.com/gems.
Last week, Louis Trichardt saw the opening of its own Montessori education centre - a first of its kind for the town. The idea to start a Montessori nursery school started with Mrs Frances Taylor whilst she was busy completing her bachelor of psychology degree at the University of Venda (Univen). “I encountered the field of early child development (ECD) about which I became passionate. Once I had graduated, I pursued a qualification in ECD through the Montessori Centre South Africa (MCSA), which has developed an academically sound online course. It was during this time that I was introduced to the legend of Maria Montessori and her philosophy,” explained Frances. The Montessori Gems School will cater for children aged five, four and three years of age. Their school material also covers the Grade R curriculum. As the name implies, this is a small school, where the environment revolves around young children, thereby resembling a “home-fromhome” situation. The ratio of children to teacher is also very low. The cornerstone of the Montessori method is that children are to be respected for their uniqueness. Each child is treated as an individual and, with the help of the Montessori method, The owner of the new Montessori Gems nursery school in Louis Trichardt, Mrs Frances Taylor, assisted to unlock a natural curiosity for learning. demonstrates to young Shani Ralephenya how to build words with the Montessori movable This method also enables the child to abstract, alphabet.

Polokwane Aces just too strong for LTT first XI Cricket News
In spite of putting up a decent score of 212 runs in their clash against Polokwane Aces, Louis Trichardt Cricket Club’s first XI lost the match by eight wickets on Sunday. The visitors from Louis Trichardt opted to bat first and, thanks to the opening pair of Salim Patel (24) and AJ Fourie (41), were off to a good start. Craig Viljoen (22) and Leon Olwage (80) continued where they left off and the prospects looked promising. Leon was in devastating form and scored his 80 runs from only 42 balls. His innings included 11 fours and three sixes. Aces stuck to their guns and Lance Trueman eventually claimed Leon’s wicket. Trueman then proceeded to rip through the tail, taking six wickets while only conceding 27 runs in 5 overs. Only Ko-
bus Barkhuizen (17 not out) weathered part of this storm, but he could only watch as the last wicket fell in the 33rd over with the score on 212. If Louis Trichardt thought they had a chance of winning the match, their hopes were quickly dashed by Aces’ opening pair. Chris de Klerk (66 not out) and a brilliant 135 by Stebian van der Walt took the match away from the visitors. Stebian’s century included seven sixes and 18 fours and was scored from only 95 balls. When Aces passed the score in the 34th over, two wickets were down. Thofhi Nefale claimed both and ended up with figures of 2/15 in 1,3 overs. Louis Trichardt will travel to Polokwane again on Sunday to play against Potgietersrus Old Boys. The team from the north desperately need a win, as they are lingering near the bottom of the log in the tough Premier League.

Weer tyd vir Brug-na-Berg Fietsrynuus
Die gewilde Brug-na-Berg fietsrit, waartydens groepe fietsryers in een dag die roete vanaf Beitbrug tot by Kaapstad aandurf, vind vanjaar op Saterdag, 5 Mei, plaas. Die koördineerder van die rit, oom Jakkie van der Colff, het al einde verlede jaar begin om spanne te motiveer om aan die rit deel te neem. “Die doel van hierdie fietsrit is om fietsry te bevorder as ‘n gesinsport en vir die enkeling. Daarom kan enigeen deelneem. Oud, jonk, fiks, onfiks, bekwame fietsryer, beginner, professioneel of wie ook al. En dit is gratis,” sê hy.
Gelukkig hoef fietsryers darem nie die hele tog vanaf Beitbrug tot in die Kaap aan te durf nie. Elke groepie voltooi net die deel van die roete wat naby aan hulle is en gerieflik is. In die Soutpansberg het ‘n groep verlede jaar by Beitbrug weggespring en tot in Louis Trichardt gery. Terselfdertyd het ‘n groep in Louis Trichardt weggespring wat weer tot in Polokwane gery het. So het groepies fietsryers regdeur die land elk dele van die 2 000km roete voltooi. Die fietsrit word aangebied as ‘n informele ontspanningsrit en vorm nie deel van enige amptelike beheerliggaam nie en word ook nie geborg deur ‘n spesifieke maatskappy nie.
Die groepies fietsryers is egter welkom om die geleentheid te gebruik om bewusmaking te kweek of fondse in te samel vir ‘n organisasie van hul keuse. “Verlede jaar het ongeveer 186 fietsryers deelgeneem en is gesamentlik ± 18
000 km afgelê. Die oudste persoon wat deelgeneem het was 70 jaar wat 107 km gery het en die jongste was ses jaar oud wat 22 km gery het. Daar was ook ‘n dogtertjie van Wolmaransstad wat ek skat seker so nege jaar was wat ook ‘n ent gery
het,” vertel oom Jakkie. Vir meer inligting oor vanjaar se rit, kan die groep se Facebook-blad besoek word. Soek vir Brug na Berg of gebruik dié skakel: https://www.facebook.com/ Brug-Na-Berg-254183118343224/.
Tydens verlede jaar se Brug-na-berg fietsrit het die groep ontbyt geniet by die Viva-winkel op Bandelierkop.
