Genoeg water om te mors?

Deur Pétria de Vaal Vir twee weke lank al stroom skoon water vanaf Tshirululunistraat in Olifantstraat in.

“Dit hou net nie op nie.

Daar is só baie water dat dit ver in die lug opspat wanneer motors verbykom. Blykbaar het die lekkasie ontstaan toe die maatskappy wat grawe vir veselkabels, ‘n waterpyp raakgekap het.” Só sê ‘n ontstoke inwoner van Olifantstraat wat nie haar naam genoem wil hê nie. Sy het menigmaal vir die grawers gaan vra wat hulle daaraan gaan doen, maar geen antwoord gekry nie. ‘n Ander inwoner noem dat die lekkasie in Tshirululunistraat al ‘n bars in die teer veroorsaak het.

Mnr. Brian du Plooy, wyksraadslid van die DA, se opinie

is in hierdie verband gevra. Hy rapporteer gedurig, soos wat hy van probleme te hore kom, die sake aan die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit – wat verantwoordelik is vir waterverskaffing, -onderhoud en alles wat daarmee gepaard gaan. Hy kry egter dikwels te doen met telefone wat nie beantwoord word nie.

“Die watersituasie en die probleme wat ons ondervind

by Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit is geheel en al chaoties,” sê Du Plooy. Hy bevestig dat ‘n kontakpunt by die gewone plaaslike munisipaliteit wel bestaan waarheen probleme deurgegee kan word (die nooddienstenommer 087 350 2764). Kommunikasie tussen hierdie kontakpunt en Vhembe blyk egter ‘n probleem te wees.

Nog ‘n waterlek in Jasmynstraat wat besig is om ‘n dam te vorm. Foto verskaf.

“Behalwe hierdie probleem is daar ook lekkasies op talle ander plekke. Riool wat oral uitborrel is ook ‘n groot probleem,” sê Du Plooy.

Sedert die Zoutpansberger begin ondersoek instel het hierdie week, het klagtes van lekkasies letterlik ingestroom. Probleme word onder meer ondervind op die hoek van Wolmarans- en Vorsterstraat, Kwaggastraat (twee verskillende lekkasies), Azaleastraat, Bauhiniastraat, in Celliersstraat naby die laerskool, Rooibokstraat – hierdie water loop af in Hlanganani Springbokstraat, Jasmynstraat, en nog baie ander plekke. In Douthwaitstraat is ‘n lekkasie by ‘n watermeter en dit raak net al hoe erger. ‘n Waterlek is ook oorkant die muurbalbane in die ruigtes ontdek.

Du Plooy noem dat Vhembe self nie die materiaal het om herstelwerk te doen nie.

Slegs wanneer iemand ‘n groot geraas maak, sal kontrakteurs aangestel word wat die herstelwerk doen. “Elke dorp wat onder Vhembe val het blykbaar nou een ekstra voertuig (bakkie) bygekry, maar dit gaan nog steeds nie die probleme uitsorteer nie,” sê hy.

“Kommunikasie vanaf die owerhede is ‘n groot bron van kommer. Ons probeer om met die gemeenskap te kommunikeer oor probleme op verskeie platforms, bv. WhatsAppgroepe, Facebook-groepe en so meer. (Vervolg op p.2)

Strome drinkwater borrel nou al vir twee weke uit onder die teeroppervlak op die hoek van Tshirululuni- en Olifantstraat. Maandag het die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit gesê hulle dra geen kennis van die lekkasie nie, maar ‘n inwoner kon ‘n verwysingsnommer gee dat hy die lek reeds op 5 Maart gerapporteer het.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “Hierdie beker is die nuwe testament in my bloed wat vir julle uitgestort word.” Lukas 22:20.

Die Jode het jaarliks die Pasga gevier deur ongesuurde brood en die vleis van ‘n lam met bitter kruie te eet.

Toe Jesus vir oulaas die “Pasga” saam met sy dissipels gevier het, het hulle dit nie meer gedoen met ‘n lam wat geslag is nie. Jesus self was “die Lam van God wat die sonde van die wêreld wegneem.” Die “brood” waarvoor Hy gedank en dit toe gebreek en aan elkeen gegee het, was sy “liggaam” wat sonder smet of “suurdeeg” vir hulle gegee was.

Die beker waaruit en waarvan elkeen moes drink, was die instelling van die “nuwe testament” in sy bloed. Hulle moes dit vir mekaar aangee om daardeur volkome een met Hom en een met mekaar te word. Hulle moes mekaar dien en hulle seëninge van die vrug van die kruis met mekaar deel deur die krag van ‘n veel sterker, beter, nuwe verbond wat Hy daardeur van krag gemaak en in werking gestel het. Op die nuwe verbond het Hy die stempel of seël met sy eie kosbare, reinigende en sondelose bloed afgedruk.

Die Nuwe Testament of nuwe verbond in sy bloed, gegrond op die onbeskryflike heerlike nuwe beloftes, gewaarborg deur die eenmaal voldoende offer van ‘n sondelose Hoëpriester en ‘n ewig lewende Middelaar, verseker ‘n veel dieper werk van genade in elkeen wat glo. Dit sluit ook nuwe vreugde van ware vrymaking van sonde in.

comment, saying that this was the responsibility of the communications manager. All municipalities have officials in place who get paid to interact with the public and deal with media enquiries.

Sithole was contacted again and told that the mayor believed that dealing with questions from the media was his (Sithole’s) job. Sithole was asked to please send a press release that explained the current situation to the public. By Wednesday, he had not yet done this.

In December 2018, the Zoutpansberger reported on the steps that various municipalities had taken in response to the VBS Mutual Bank scandal. Limpopo’s Premier, Stan Mathabatha, had announced that six of the province’s mayors would be removed from their positions with immediate effect. A seventh mayor, Florence Radzilani, had resigned as Vhembe’s mayor shortly before the press conference.

The mayors were all at the head of municipalities that had invested billions in the mutual bank. The investments were done in violation of the MFMA and the allegations were that many of the officials and politicians had benefitted from kickbacks received from VBS. The total amount that was invested by Limpopo municipalities in VBS was R2,6 billion, of which just more than R1,08 billion was still outstanding at that stage. At Collins Chabane Municipality, the mayor who received the boot was Joyce Bila. The premier’s report recommended that disciplinary action be taken against the MM and the CFO of this municipality. At the end of October that year (2018), this municipality opted to suspend its CFO, Mr Eddy Makamu, and the MM, Ms Tsakani Ngobeni, provisionally. Whether Ms Ngobeni was reinstated after that remains uncertain.

Vhembe’s Tshilidzi Nephawe is becoming a basketball hero in Japan

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho

Tshilidzi Nephawe, who was born in Ngwenani ya ha Themeli village in the Vhembe District, is making headlines in Japan. This comes after he joined the Japanese B-League basketball side, Hiroshima Dragonflies, ahead of the new season.

Tshilidzi, who is currently living in Hiroshima in Japan, had his first professional basketball match in Osaka city, Japan, where his team, Kumamoto Volters, was playing against Osaka Eversa in 2015.

For Tshilidzi, basketball is not a pastime in Japan but a full-time career. “If you are from South Africa, you’ll know that the (basketball) league is not big over there, so you have to work extra hard to be able to play overseas.”

He left South Africa in 2008 and headed straight to California, USA, to enrol at a National Basketball Association (NBA) school. “This was after I was playing for the South African national team where I was part of an NBA camp

Vhembe traag om lekke reg te maak (Vervolg van p.1) “As die inligting ons nie bereik nie, kan ons egter nie ons inwoners daaromtrent inlig nie,” vervolg Du Plooy.

Hy noem ook dat ‘n groot area in die industriële gebied nou al vir ‘n jaar lank geen water het nie. Vermoedelik is sommige van die kleppe onder teer waar strate of gedeeltes daarvan herstel is. “Ons het die een keer gesien dat ‘n klep se deksel langs die pad lê waar herstelwerk aan ‘n straat gedoen is en dit is nooit teruggesit nie,” sê hy. “Die owerhede is bewus hiervan, maar sover word daar nog niks aan gedoen nie.

Hulle weet nie waar die kleppe is nie.”

Du Plooy is van mening dat die bestuur van die water teruggegee moet word aan Makhado Munisipaliteit. “Geld is deur Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit geallokeer aan infrastruktuur in byvoorbeeld Thohoyandou en in die tussentyd is Musina en Louis Trichardt afgeskeep – om maar twee te noem,” sê hy.

Mnr. Moses Shivhambu, woordvoerder van die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit, is oor die saak gepols. Hy sê dat, sodra enige inligting aan hulle deurgegee word, die Departement Tegniese Dienste in kennis gestel word. Sou daar foto’s by wees, word dit ook deurgegee.

Hierdie Departement gaan stel dan ondersoek in na die probleem.

Hoewel die probleem in Tshirululuni- en

Olifantstraat al geruime tyd teenwoordig is, beweer Vhembe dat hulle teen 15 Maart nog nie daarvan geweet het nie. Shivhambu het wel van ander lekkasies verneem en hy het dit op sy beurt weer aan die Departement van Tegniese Dienste gerapporteer. Ten tye van die Zoutpansberger se gesprek met Shivhambu het hy onderneem om die probleem in Olifantstraat ook aan die tegniese dienste deur te gee. Intussen het die Zoutpansberger van ‘n inwoner in Tshirululunistraat verneem dat die lekkasie al op 5 Maart gerapporteer is en ‘n verwysingsnommer daaraan toegeken is.

Vroeër vandeesweek is ‘n persverklaring deur Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit uitgereik wat inwoners inlig dat, wanneer beurtkrag plaasvind, dit ‘n beduidende invloed het op die watervoorsiening, aangesien geen water gepomp kan word wanneer die krag af is nie. Versko­ ning word gemaak vir enige ongerief tydens beurtkrag en inwoners is gevra om geduldig onder hierdie omstandighede te wees.

Die volgende kontakbesonderhede is verkry waarheen inwoners self kan skakel om probleme met betrekking tot water en riool te rapporteer (almal van Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit): Eric by 082 453 6484 of 071 377 7317; Murendi by 072 317 5532 of Collin by 064 540 7183 of 060 939 4095.

in Johannesburg, called Basketball Without Borders,” he said. “That was where I got connected to a high school in the US that offered me a scholarship.”

He was spotted by a scouting team during a provincial basketball tournament in Thohoyandou. At the time he was a pupil at Mphaphuli High School. “Those people from Basketball Limpopo came to my school looking for talent and, when they found me, they were convinced I would make a good basketball player,” he said. “I started playing and, within a short space of time, I was proving to be an excellent player. I loved basketball from the first day.”

Tshilidzi moved from the USA to Japan after receiving an offer from one of the local teams.

Upon arrival, he started playing professionally for the Kumamoto Volters. “I couldn’t refuse the offer,” he said. “Professional teams in Japan offered me a spot to come and play here and, above everything else, Japan seemed like a great country to live in, so I decided to take a chance.

That was in August 2015.”

Tshilidzi’s highlights include playing in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament at least three times in his career. “Playing in this tournament is the highest stage of achievement in basketball for any youth in basketball, and it’s something I always think that was one of the greatest moments of my life,” he said.

He is determined to develop his basketball skills and knowledge, so that he continues to cement his amazing career as an international basketball player. “Well, my goal is to be able to play basketball here in Japan for the rest of my career and be the best player,” he said.

Tshilidzi had also fallen in love with Japanese culture because it resembles Venda culture in many ways. “I love it so much here, and I am finding it very easy to live here, so it feels like home away from home for me,” he said.

“This is just how it is,” says municipality about trenches

By Denise van Bergen When one drives through the residential areas of town and observes the destruction of once-beautiful gardens - something this community takes so much pride in – one can understand why so much hostility is directed at the high-speed Internet fibre-optic project in Louis Trichardt.

The start of the project, approved by the Makhado Municipality last year, saw infrastructure being damaged daily. Residents were constantly left without water and electricity and gardens were turned upside down, while residents – at first - watched in horrified fascination.

Just when everyone thought the worst was over, however, the digging started again. Residents now look on with boiling anger while new contractors carelessly ruin their recently resettled gardens in the process of laying yet more fibre-optic cables.

The Zoutpansberger has had numerous conversations over these past few months with each fibre company, who diligently tried to assure and keep residents up to date as they went along, with extensive explanations regarding the technical process at hand.

This, however, still did not prepare the community for the ongoing disruption that the process would cause. As the municipality claimed responsibility for this project, we directed a few questions about it to the municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, who laid it out plainly.

“There are a number of network companies who will be installing telecommunication and Internet services in Louis Trichardt,” said Bobodi while confirming that residents can expect multiple trenches. “Each company will be offering its unique services, which is not necessarily the same as others’. Therefore, each company has to lay their fibre cables in almost all the streets, and that is why some streets will have more than one trench,” he said.

On residents’ dissatisfaction about the standard of work conducted by some contractors, Bobodi said that each resident bore the responsibility to direct their complaint to the municipality, so that the concerned company can be reprimanded.

“Each company is expected to leave the area where work had been done as it was found, or in a better state. If any site is left damaged or in a worse state than it was before, it must be brought to the attention of the municipality as soon as possible.”

Grievances can be directed to Mr Shumani Mundalamo at Tel 015 519 3164 or 083 677 6340.

The municipality was also asked why the community had never been let in on the decision to authorise this project. Bobodi replied: “The companies submitted their applications (to install high-speed Internet), after which permission and approval were granted by the municipality.

However, we acknowledge oversight on taking the public on board.”

Oom Johann oorlede na lang kankerstryd In Memoriam Oom Johann Lotter, wat die afgelope paar jaar by sy seun Nico Lotter van Louis Trichardt woonagtig was, is verlede Woensdag, 10 Maart, in die ouderdom van 75 jaar

aan kanker oorlede.

Oom Johann is op 4 Desember 1945 op Koster in die Noordwes Provinsie gebore en was op sy tyd ‘n mielieboer van formaat in die ou Wes-Transvaal. Na sy “aftrede” uit die boerderybedryf het hy op Modimolle gaan bly, waarna hy en sy lewensmaat, tannie Poppie, in 2018 hul intrek by Nico geneem het.

Kort daarna, in Mei/Junie van 2019 is oom Johan egter met kleinsellongkanker gediag­ noseer.

“Die dokters het toe vir hom gesê hy sal waarskynlik nog sy verjaarsdag daardie jaar sien, maar nie Kersfees nie. Op die ou einde was hy vir ons vir nog ‘n jaar en drie maande gespaar,” het Nico gesê.

Volgens Nico het sy pa veral swaar gekry die laaste paar weke.

“Weet jy, hy het soveel pyn

gehad die laaste tyd, maar hy het elke dag net gepraat van hoe groot die Here se genade vir hom is. Dit het mens eintlik laat begin sleg voel as jy so kla oor klein dinge,” het Nico gesê.

Wyle oom Johann se rou­ diens het Saterdag, 13 Maart, vanuit die NG Kerk Soutpansberg-gemeente plaasgevind.

Die diens is waargeneem deur ds. Etienne van Staden. Oom Johan word oorleef deur tannie Poppie, ses kinders, agt kleinkinders en aangetroude familie.

Nico het namens die familie hulle dank uitgespreek teenoor dr. Casper Venter en die personeel van Prognos, Leon Fensham van Da Silva Apteek en sy personeel, Avbob, die NG Kerk Soutpansberg, ds. Van Staden en al die familie en vriende wat die diens bygewoon het. “Dankie ook vir almal se gebede en bystand tydens sy siekte en ná sy afsterwe,” het Nico gesê.

Ms Anell Schalkwyk was left fuming on Tuesday when a second trench was dug through her sidewalk opposite Laerskool Louis Trichardt in Erasmus Street. This followed just after she had finally managed, at great cost, to resettle her sidewalk lawn from damage caused by the first trench (still visible just right of the red arrow line). “If they are going to do this four more times, I will have no sidewalk garden and lawn left,” said Schalkwyk.

has no shortage of talent and continues to rake in the accolades, both nationally and internationally.

After Marissa received gold for five items in the Talent Africa regional championships last year, she was chosen for the Limpopo team to participate in the South African national Talent Africa Competition in Roodepoort.

At national level, Marissa received gold for both her items in the dance and drama sections of the National Performing Arts Championships and was then chosen for the South African team to participate in the international championships.

Because of the Covid-19 travel-restrictions, the international Talent America Competition was judged in December via Zoom. Marissa delivered an excellent performance. The results of that competition were released the past week and Marissa learned that she had again received gold in the Variety/Novel/Open 15 -17 category.

She competed against participants from eight countries and was judged by a panel of 18 international judges.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar, gelede het ‘n verbruikersboikot in Louis Trichardt gebroei, maar niemand was regtig seker wat al die verskuilde agendas agter die beoogde boikot deur onder andere die SANC en die ANC was nie.

Volgens die voorsitter van die destydse boikotkomitee, mnr Patrick Sikhutshi, was die doel van die verbruikersboikot om druk te plaas op die Groter Louis Trichardt Oor­ gangsraad om Kutama en Sinthumule by die Oorgangsraad in te sluit. Kort vantevore het die Oorgangsraad weer aanbeveel dat slegs Tshikota, Vleifontein en Eltivillas by die munisipale area ingesluit word.

Die storie wat egter sekerlik meer aandag op die voorblad van die Zoutpansberger van 15 Maart 1996 getrek het, was dié van ‘n VVV (vreemde vlieënde voorwerp) wat talle inwoners in die nagruim opgemerk het. Vol­ gens een van die mense wat die VVV opgemerk het, het hy en sy familie ‘n lang, silinderagtige voorwerp in die lug gewaar omstreeks 19:00 een aand. “Dit het gelyk soos ‘n lang ballon, amper ‘n reuse sigaret, wat in die lug gehang en stadig oor die dorp beweeg het,” het die inwoner gesê. Nog ‘n inwoner het gesê hy het gesien hoe die voorwerp skielik van sy voorpunte van kleur verander en toe heeltemal verdwyn het. Die voorwerp is egter nie net oor Louis Trichardt opgemerk nie. Die kwessie is ook op die radioprogram Monitor bespreek met luisteraars van

die Vrystaat, Gauteng en Noordwes wat dit ook gesien het. ‘n Kenner het egter gou koue water op die storie gegooi. Hy het verduide­ lik dat die “voorwerp” toegeskryf kon word aan probleme met die pendeltuig Discovery.

NASA het vir ‘n tweede keer daardie week probeer om ‘n satelliet met ‘n kabel in die pendeltuig in te trek. Die kabel het egter gebreek en op ‘n hoogte van sowat 300 000 kilometer bo die aarde se opper­ vlakte begin rondsweef. Dit is hierdie kabel wat mense soms in die lugruim sien rond­ sweef het, aangesien dit juis daardie week bokant Suid­Afrika was.

Hoofstuk drie bring die romanse in, maar ook ‘n nuwe slagoffer Hoe werk die kompetisie?

Ons het die eerste hoofstukke van elk van die stories geksryf.

Daar is ‘n afonderlike storie vir Afrikaans en Engels. Die uitdaging aan die jong skrywers is om voort te gaan en die volgende hoofstukke vir elk van die stories te kryf.

Die stories sal wissel, m.a.w. een week sal die Engelse hoofstuk gepubliseer word en die volgende week die Afrikaanse hoofstuk. Skrywers kan hoofstukke inskryf vir een of beide die stories.

Met elke hoofstuk moet die skrywers sover moontlik die bestaande karakters akkommodeer, maar nuwe karakters kan ook in die storie gebring word.

Elke Donderdag verskyn ‘n nuwe hoofstuk.

Ons jong skrywers het dan tot die volgende Woensdag kans om die volgende hoofstuk te skryf en dit aan ons te stuur.

Die beoordeling word gedoen deur ‘n paneel bedrewe skrywers en daar is ‘n kontantprys Elke inskrywing moet besonderhede insluit van: * Jou naam * Jou ouderdom * Die naam van jou skool * Waar jy woon Elk hoofstuk moet minder as 450 woorde wees.

vir elke week se wenner. Na afloop van die kompetisie sal daar ‘n agehele wenner vir beide stories aangewys word.

Is dit moeilik?

Ons wil graag al ons jong skrywers aanmoedig om in te skryf. Die skrywer se verbeelding en die wyse waarop die storielyn ontwikkel is meer belangrik as taalkundige vaardigheid.

Elk week se weninskrywing sal taalkundig versorg word en aanpassings mag gemaak

eerder oor kreatiwiteit en die wyse waarop die storie ontvou op ‘n spannende en vermaaklike wyse.

Ons het geen idee waar enige van die stories gaan eindig nie, so dit is net soveel ‘n avontuur vir ons as vir die skrywers.

Wie mag deelneem?

‘n Ouderdomsperk van 19 word gestel, maar enigiets jonger is aanvaarbaar.

Inskrywings word nie beperk tot slegs sekere skole nie, maar die skrywers moet in die Vhembe-distrik woon.

Ons sal dit baie waardeer as die taalonderwysers hul leerlinge aanmoedig om in te skryf, maar daar is ongelukkig nie ‘n prys vir die skool met die meeste inskrywings nie.

Die sluitingsdatum vir inskrywings vir Hoofstuk 3 van die Afrikaanse storie, is Woensdag, 24 Maart, 2021.

Die voltooide hoofstukke word op die Zoutpansberger se webtuiste gepubliseer om dit

makliker te maak vir diegene wat wil inskryf.

Stuur inskrywings na: leigh@zoutnet.co.za

Hierdie week se wenner is Sonita Alberts. Sonita is ‘n Graad-11 leerling by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. Sy wen dan ook die R300 kontantprys geborg deur die Zoutpansberger.

Onthou, die sluitingsdatum vir inskrywings vir die Afrikaanse verhaal is Woensdag (24ste) om 16:00

Beoordelaars se kommentaar Ongelukkig is daar steeds min inskrywings ontvang vir die Afrikaanse storie. Die Engelse storie blyk gewild te wees en talle van ons skrywers het al hoofstukke ingestuur, maar die jong Afrikaanse skrywers is skugter. Ons weet egter dat daar talle Deon Meyers wag om ontdek te word, so doen moeite en stuur daardie inskrywings.

Ons wenner is, soos voorverlede week, Sonita Alberts.

Sonita is egter ‘n waardige wenner en miskien is dit juis hoekom die ander skrywers bietjie terughou, hulle weet nie of hulle kan kers vashou by Sonita nie. Sy het hierdie week

weer bewys dat haar talent net deur haar ryk verbeelding getroef word.

Sonita het duidelik ‘n romantiese streep en die twee hoofkarakters is duidelik in meer as net die misdaadleidrade geïnteresseerd. Sy hou egter die spanningslyn en die storie beweeg vinnig in ‘n rigting. ‘n Paar wenke vir ons jong skrywers. Die uitdaging is om voort te bou op die storie en die leser op ‘n verdere reis te neem.

Tot dusver het ons die geheimsinnige Aletta de Melker, wat blyk die antagonis is. Teenoor haar is Inspekteur Johan Faber en ‘n befaamde kriminoloog, Anneke Wagner, wat die vreemde sterftes ondersoek.

Wat ons ook weet is dat daar ‘n onbekende vrou in De Melker

se geselskap gesien is. De Melker het ook ‘n broer, wat op vreemde wyse oorlede is.

In Hoofstuk 2 is ‘n paar belangrike leidrade gegee wat die verhaal se verloop kan dikteer.

Die moontlikheid van ‘n gifstof, botulinum, is gemeld.

Daar is sewe hoofstukke oor, wat beteken genoeg tyd om hulle op verdere avonture te neem. Die hoofkarakters kan verlief raak, of hulle kan sterf (wat ‘n tragedie mag wees).

Nuwe karakters kan ingebring word en De Melker kan dalk ook die protagonis word. Dit is alles in julle hande (of vingers as julle tik). Stuur asseblief die inskrywings voor Woensdagaand en verras die lesers met julle vindingrykheid!

Wat vooraf gebeur het?

Inspekteur Johan Faber en ‘n befaamde kriminoloog, Anneke Wagner, word aangestel om die sterftes te ondersoek.

Dit blyk dat De Melker nie alleen woon nie en ‘n geheimsinnige jonger vrou word gewaar.

Faber vind uit dat De Melker ‘n jonger broer gehad het. Alhoewel die oorsaak van sy dood vier jaar tevore as ‘n hartaanval toegeskryf is, was ‘n soortgelyke oormaat

Triegies se welpies hou virtuele Groentjiekonsert

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is steeds goed op dreef ná ‘n baie ontwrigtende 2020 skooljaar. ‘n Gees van pret en plesier het op 4 Maart by die skool geheers met die aanbied van die skool se jaarlikse Groentjiekonsert. Vanjaar se tema was “Triegie Dance Off ”. Anders as vorige jare, is niemand egter toegelaat om die konsert te kom kyk nie, weens die Covid-19 regulasies. Tog het die skool innoverend gedink en die konsert is opgeneem, sodat ouers en belangstellendes dit “virtueel” op Youtube kan gaan kyk. Die skakel na die Youtube video is: https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=WXQ56d1zT2g. Foto’s verskaf.

The learners were also afforded the opportunity to ask questions. They wanted to know how to care for their pets, how you know when a dog is aggressive and where you can adopt a pet. In preparation of the SPCA’s visit, the grades collected pet food and made a huge donation to the SPCA. The Grade 1 Butterflies class collected the most food and was rewarded for their efforts. Inspector Khodobo urged the children that if you they see any pet being abused to contact him on 082 965 5151 or to ask an adult to phone.

Ridgeway College’s athletes did exceptionally well during the friendly day/night athletics meet hosted by Louis Trichardt High School last Friday. In total, the college’s athletes raked in 49 gold medals, 63 silver medals and 59 bronze medals. Some of the college’s athletes also walked away with top awards, like Alex Fourie (high jump of 1,8m) who was voted the Best Senior Field Athlete of the Day. He was also Senior Victor Ludorum. Fhindulani Maliaga was the Junior Victor Ludorum, while Marilyn Munyoka was the Junior Victrix Ludorum. The Best Junior Track Athlete of the Day was the college’s Unarine Netshitangani (fastest 200m in 25.34s). Ridgeway’s athletes are fast becoming a force to be reckoned with. During the inter-house sports day just prior to last Friday’s athletics meeting, 24 of the college’s athletes set 34 new records.

LET’S COOK...

Chilli Goat’s Meat

Deur Denise van Bergen Felicia Ndibaleni Musandiwa shares a modern-traditional African recipe with our readers this week.

Believe it or not, but goat’s meat is fast becoming a popular helping around the dinner table among non-African cultures as well, as people seem to be more open to explore other cultural cuisines and tastes than ever before. Felicia had learned from a young age how to prepare goat’s meat best. After all, it was a regular meal back home when she grew up. Through the years, she had adapted the traditional style of cooking it by lending a somewhat more modern taste to it, also adding a touch of eastern flavour. With these measurements, the meat is only medium hot.

Laerskool Louis Trichardt is baie trots op twee van hul meisies o.13-atlete, Mari-Louise van der Walt (links) en Mijanke Venter (regs), wat op 12 Maart aan Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se middag/aand-atletiekbyeenkoms in die o.14-afdeling deelgeneem en uitmuntend presteer het. Mari-Louise van der Walt het aan drie items deelgeneem. Sy het ‘n eerste plek in die 800 m en 1 500 m, en derde plek in die 400 m in haar ouderdomsgroep behaal. Mijanke Venter het aan agt items deelgeneem en nie net haar persoonlike beste tye verbeter nie, maar ook ‘n rekord laat spat in die o.14-afdeling. Sy was eerste in die verspring en spiesgooi met ‘n nuwe byeenkomsrekord vir die spiesgooi, tweede in die diskus, 200 m 90 m hekkies en derde in die hoogspring, 100 m en gewigstoot. Foto verskaf.

Ingredients: 1 kg goat’s meat 1 cup water 1 small onion, chopped 1 tsp crushed dried chilli 1 fresh chilli, chopped 1 tsp crushed garlic 1 tsp ground cumin salt Metode:

In a large pot, cook the meat in water until the water has cooked away.

When the meat starts to brown, add the garlic, dried and fresh chillies, cumin and salt (to taste).

Let the meat continue to cook while systematically adding a little more water, so it doesn’t burn.

When the meat is nice and tender, add the onions and let it cook for a while longer on a low heat.

It is ready when the meat falls off the bones.

Best served with pap or rice.

Serves 4-6 people.

Felicia was born in Diepkloof, Soweto, grew up at Nzhelele and relocated to Louis Trichardt a year ago. She has previously worked in accounting but currently fills her days as a stay-at-home mom of two active children.

She is passionate about cooking and loves the fact that it leaves so much room to be creative. She says that she prefers to cook from the heart, rather than from a recipe because that, as well as the love put into the cooking, is what really makes a meal unique. Felicia’s days are not only spent in the kitchen and with her kids though; she also likes to gym, go hiking and bowling.

What is wonderful about this recipe is that it can be adapted in many ways to suit one’s own taste. For example, chopped tomatoes and a little fresh cream can be added to give it a richer flavour, or the chillies can be replaced with curry to make it spicier. If you only want it hotter, just add extra fresh chillies.

On 25 and 26 February, Ridgeway Preparatory outside Louis Trichardt hosted their annual inter-house athletics. The school thanked Phadziri Bus Services for safely transporting their ECD students from the center to the school for the initial day of races. A great sense of spirit was felt amongst the young ones, who enjoyed running in the sun as children should, whilst still adhering to Covid-19 regulations. The following day, the school hosted the senior-phase athletics. “Congratulations to Fire (above) for being the winning house for both the foundation and senior phase, Water came in second and Earth came in third,” said the school. They also thanked every athlete for doing their best. Photo supplied.
