More shoddy work By Kaizer Nengovhela Motorists using the newly “revamped” D959 road between Louis Trichardt and AFB Makhado passing through Kutama and Sinthumule are appalled at the poor condition of the road after it was rehabilitated at a cost of R8 million. The road has started crumbling, with gaping potholes leaving serious question marks regarding the shoddy work delivered by the contractor. On 7 December 2020, the Limpopo MEC for Public Works, Mr Dickson Masemola, set aside R11.5 million for upgrading the D959 and D3715 roads. The contractor, Makasana Construction, started work in February this year, but just more than three months into this six-month rehabilitation project, construction work ground to a halt in June this year. As motorists’ frustration mounted, the road was “unofficially” opened in August this year. On 14 October this year, Masemola visited the area to promise a further R30 million for revamping the D3715 road. He also visited the D959 road to check on its condition. Masemola was outraged to find that the D959 road’s condition had actually gone from bad to worse after the R8 million revamp, and that it would require further major rehabilitation. This rehabilitated

road had, among other things, developed what is referred to as ‘crocodile skin’, which is cracks in the road around a pothole. These cracks usually indicate signs of a deeper underlying problem, such as water underneath the surface. Residents of the area have raised serious concerns about the shoddy work delivered by Makasana Construction. “Who is now to blame for the poor condition of our newly ‘upgraded’ road?” they want to know. Mr Edward Masala, the deputy chairperson of the Dzanani II Taxi Association, said that tyre punctures had become a common occurrence for taxi drivers on the road. “It is an unbearable situation. The road has the worst potholes. It is difficult to drive along this road and it delays our trips. With the completion of the road, the situation has gotten worse. Potholes and deteriorating road conditions create a serious danger for all road users and affects our business as well,” Masala said, pointing the finger at the government for not implementing plans to reconstruct the road properly. The chairperson of the Sinthumule-Kutama Concern Group, Mr Elijah Liremi, said that the community felt insulted by the poor workmanship in the refurbishment of the D959 road. He said that the road seemed to be covered with soft oil, instead of being properly tarred.

“Who is now to blame for the poor condition of our newly ‘upgraded’ road?”

Liremi said that the contractor’s bank accounts should be frozen. Last week, MEC Masemola publicly expressed his dismay about the poor state of the revamped road. “The contractor did shoddy work,” Masemola said, adding that he viewed the poor quality of the road in a serious light and had referred the matter to both the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) and the Directorate for Priority Crime

Investigation (Hawks) to investigate. He said that the contractor would face dire consequences, should investigations find any dishonest dealings regarding the project. As far as this newspaper could determine, Makasana Construction, in a joint venture with another company called Vashumi Construction, received a whopping R43 303 935.40 in 2019 from the Limpopo Department of

Public Works for a “three-year household-based Routine Road Maintenance project at Makhado local municipality in Vhembe district”. Whether the D959 project formed part of this is unknown. What is also not known is whether Makasana Construction and Vashumi Construction are involved in the D3715 project for which Masemola had made a further R30 million available in October this year.

This is what the R8 million “new” road looks like

Private hospital boasts new tech The Zoutpansberg Private Hospital in Louis Trichardt recently acquired the use of new technology in the form of a C-Arm scanner. A C-Arm is an imaging scanner intensifier with radiographic capabilities. It is used primarily for fluoroscopic, intraoperative imaging during surgical, orthopaedic, and emergency care. With these new X-ray capabilities, the hospital says they strive to better their theatre for the visiting orthopaedic surgeons and super-specialists. “This will also improve the patient experience by performing more theatre procedures locally,” said the hospital. Pictured with the new scanner are (top from left to right) registered nurse Beanca Badenhorst (theatre unit manager), Yvette Gaigher (radiographer), Dr Reynhardt Immelman (orthopaedic surgeon, specialising in lower limbs), Dr Fred Badenhorst (shareholder) and Dr Anton Stroebel (clinical director, shareholder).

Raw deal for travellers to Zim as they get milked on both sides By Staff Reporter The cost of travelling from South Africa to Zimbabwe and back has skyrocketed over the past year, to such an extent that travellers can

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “… waar is die kamer waar Ek die Pasga met my dissipels kan eet?” Lukas 22:11.

ie “Erekoning” (Psalm 24:9) se eie mense het Hom nie in hulle tempel verwelkom nie. Toe het Hy na die opelug gegaan, na eensame plekke en privaathuise. Paasfees. Dit was die heel laaste her denkingsfees van hierdie aard, want God se Lam het op die punt gestaan om geslag te word, dit waarvoor Hy gebore was. Op sy laaste reis het Hy so doelgerig na Jerusalem gekom om sy afspraak met die kruisdood te eer dat Hy, tot sy dissipels se verbasing, dié keer haastig voor hulle uit geloop het (Markus 10:32). By die geleentheid, in die skaduwee van die kruis, leer Hy sy dissipels drie “familiegeheime”. Die wêreld ken dit nie, maar elke “familielid” se geestelike ervaring word daardeur in ‘n lewenslange, vreugdevolle en vrugbare oorwinningsfees omskep. Die eerste geheim, sy voorbeeld van selfverloëning. Die eerste bewys van gasvry heid is tog dat ‘n slaaf die gaste moet inwag, om net weer die stof van elkeen se voete af te was. So ‘n slaaf het ontbreek totdat Jesus, die Meester en Here, sy boklere uitgetrek, ‘n doek geneem en gebuig het om elke paar voete sorgvuldig te was, ook Judas s’n. Kry jy die boodskap? Jy wil by mense se harte uitkom, maar misluk so dikwels. Buig eers jou knieë; daar begin die sterkste pad na hulle harte toe (Johannes 13:14).

barely afford it anymore. Conditions for traveling to either of the countries include having a passport that has a permit and producing a negative Covid-19 certificate. Testing for Covid-19 to obtain a certificate alone amounts to R850 in South Africa and $60US (about R900) in Zimbabwe. These strict conditions, however, seem to have prompted a lucrative business for bakkie owners in both countries who make good use of this opportunity. As many travellers use the undesignated port of entry along the Limpopo River to avoid these costs, bakkie owners in Musina line up to take them there. Last month, Tshiamiso (not her real name) decided to visit her relatives in Gwanda, Zimbabwe. She is a South African resident who lives in Louis Trichardt. Under normal conditions, she pays R680 at Beitbridge Border Post for the whole journey and arrives at her destination early during the day. “My mother is a Zimbabwean and my father is a South African. I have a South African passport.

Before the outbreak of Covid-19, I regularly travelled to Zimbabwe and back. The cost was very reasonable then, and not as risky as it is now,” said Tshiamiso. She must visit her relatives on a regular basis, but as things stand, she fears she cannot afford it anymore, leaving her caught between a rock and a hard place. “In October I arrived early in Musina and was approached by a bakkie owner who offered to take us to an illegal crossing point 30km west of Beitbridge Border Post. We, along with our groceries, were packed like sardines at the back of the bakkie,” she said. The trip from Musina to the illegal crossing point cost them R250, with an additional cost for luggage. The minimum cost for a bag is R30, depending on the weight. If the bag is too heavy, one is compelled to pay more. Luckily, Tshiamiso only had a small satchel, but she did not feel safe, squeezed in with the other passengers. She feared that they might all get robbed. “As we arrived at the illegal crossing point, there were three other bakkies full of people traveling to Zimbabwe. We off-loaded our bags

and walked across the river to Zimbabwe, where we were met with yet more bakkie owners waiting on that side,” said Tshiamiso. From the illegal crossing point to the Beitbridge-Bulawayo road they paid R250 for transportation and another R250, Tshiamiso was told, to pay police officers, so they do not get arrested for using illegal routes. “On our way we met three men dressed in Zimbabwean police uniforms. We are not sure whether they were real Zimbabwean police officers or not, but we were stopped, money exchanged hands, and no one was arrested,” she said. Tshiamiso used the same route and means to return to South Africa, having to cough up the same amount. The whole journey cost her a total of R1 500, which is still cheaper than going through the legal routine. “This is ridiculous. Both governments should take steps to lift some of these conditions. My religion does not allow me to get tested for or vaccinated against Covid-19. It is considered a taboo. I need to consult my elders before being vaccinated,” said Tshiamiso.

Speaking to him about it, one can actually feel the stirring anticipation and excitement of his coming adventure. Dave turned 64 in September this year, and although he admits that getting older has its days, he has never been fazed about something as trivial as age, which certainly has never stopped him from doing what he loves. He can still show the younger males of our species a thing or two about determination and courage. Talking the talk is easy, but to walk the walk too is quite another thing. To plan an on-foot excursion of 800km through the wild and see it through without getting cold feet takes a lot of

Konstitusionele Hof-oorwinning ‘n pluimpie vir plaaslike regsﬁrma Deur Anton van Zyl Die Konstitusionele Hof het Vrydag uitspraak gelewer in die Venda koningskapsaak - ‘n oorwinning vir die jong prinses Masindi Mphephu en nog ‘n terugslag vir die waarnemende koning en uiters omstrede Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana. Vrydag se oorwinning was egter ook ‘n besonderse pluimpie vir ‘n prokureursfirma van Louis Trichardt wat die saak al vir bykans ‘n dekade namens die prinses veg. Volgens Johann Hammann van Hammann en Moosa prokureurs op Louis Trichardt, het hul paaie in 2012 die eerste keer gekruis met dié van Masindi Mphephu en haar oom, Mbulaheni Charles Mphephu. “Hulle het iemand gesoek om hulle te verteenwoordig, maar hulle het nie die fondse gehad vir lang, uitgerekte hofsake nie,” sê Johann. Wat Johann destyds al besef het, was dat hierdie geen maklike saak sou wees nie. Masindi is die enigste dogter van wyle Tshimangadzo Mphephu, wat onder die naam Dimbanyika

geheers het. Hy was die seun van die voormalige Venda koning, Ramaano Patrick Mphephu. Dimbanyika is in 1997 in ‘n motorongeluk oorlede. “As Masindi ‘n seun was, sou sy die outomatiese keuse as troonopvolger gewees het,” sê Johan. Om ‘n vrou as troonopvolger te hê was egter ‘n skuif wat vir sekere van die lede van die koninklike familie net een te veel was. Op 14 Augustus 2010 het die koninklike raad vergader om ‘n kandidaat aan te wys. Masindi en haar oom is nie genooi na die vergadering nie. Tydens dié vergadering is duidelik uitgespel dat die opvolger ‘n man moes wees. Masindi se oom, Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana, is aangewys as die voorkeur-kandidaat vir die koningskap. Die besluit is geneem ten spyte van die feit dat Toni in daardie stadium die ndumi (hoofraadgewer) van die vorige leier was. Tradisioneel mag die ndumi nie ‘n troonopvolger wees nie. Die onmin tussen die partye het opgebou ná dié besluit, maar omdat Masindi nog minderjarig was, was dit moeilik om die koninklike familie teen te staan. Haar oom, Mbulaheni

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het inwo ners van die Soutpansberg nou wel nie ‘n pandemie in die gesig gestaar nie, maar wel ‘n epidemie. Op die voorblad van 15 November 1996 word berig dat meer as 300 malariagevalle sedert 1 Julie van daardie jaar reeds in die noordelik dele van die provinsie aangemeld is en het sommige kenners dit as ‘n epidemie beskryf. In die ooreenstemmende tyd die vorige jaar is slegs 82 gevalle aangemeld. Die voorafgaande week is 27 gevalle in die Musina-distrik, 49 in die Thohoyandou-distrik, 16 in die Mutale-distrik, sewe in die Dzanani-distrik, vyf in die Soutpansberg-distrik, 12 in die Vuwani-distrik, twee in die Tshitale-distrik, 12 in die Malamulele-distrik en drie in die Hlanganani-distrik aangemeld. Ook voorbladnuus daardie week was ‘n gedig van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se hoofmeisie van daardie jaar, Alicia Potgieter (nou Thomas), wat in ‘n nasionale versebundel, getiteld Over the Rainbow, opgeneem is. Haar gedig se naam was You can Fly. In ander nuus daardie week is op bladsy 3 berig van ‘n fratsongeluk wat die lewe van ‘n werker van die destydse Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad se elektrisi-

teitsafdeling geëis het. Die ongeluk het plaasgevind toe elektrisiën mnr. Dennis Loyd en sy span uitgeroep is om herstelwerk aan oorhoofse lyne in Olifantstraat te doen. Loyd het blykbaar sy balans op die kragpaal verloor en bo-op mnr. T. S Baloyi, wat onder hom op die paal gestaan het, geval. Beide het na die grond getuimel. Baloyi se beserings was so ernstig dat hy op die toneel dood is. Loyd het hoofbeserings opgedoen en is oorgeplaas na die hospitaal in Polokwane.

Mphephu, het haar egter bygestaan en begin soek na ‘n regsfirma wat hulle kon help baklei, sodat geregtigheid kon geskied. In 2012 het Hammann en Moosa Prokureurs stukke geliasseer in die Thohoyandou Hooggeregshof, kort nadat voormalige President Jacob Zuma die amptelike aankondiging gemaak het dat Toni die volgende koning van die Vhavenda sou wees. Hierdie was dan ook die begin van ‘n stryd in die howe wat etlike jare sou duur. Volgens Johann was die feit dat dit ‘n komplekse saak was wat baie tyd en geld sou kos, gou duidelik. Hulle het die regshulpraad genader, maar om andere te oortuig dat hierdie ‘n saak was wat belangrike grondwetlike beginsels raak, was moeilik. In daardie stadium het hulle ook die dienste van advokaat Alan Dodson (SC) bekom. Dodson het van meet af aan in Masindi se saak geglo en was bereid om sonder enige waarborge van vergoeding die werk aan te pak. (Dodson is vanjaar genomineer as kandidaat vir ‘n posisie as regter in die Konstitusionele Hof, wat getuig van die respek wat hy in regskringe geniet.) Die regspan se eerste uitdaging was egter in die Limpopo Hooggeregshof. Alhoewel die stukke in Desember 2012 geliasseer is, moes hulle tot einde 2015 wag vir ‘n eerste verhoor. Johann vertel dat hulle deurentyd met vertragingstaktiek te doen gehad het. Buiten dat Toni se regspan telkens versuim het om stukke betyds te liasseer, het die Staat (wat ‘n respondent in die saak was) ook voete gesleep. Ten einde koste te bespaar en risiko’s te verminder, is die hof gevra om die saak te skei en eers oor ‘n reeks tegniese aspekte in die saak te beslis; onder meer oor aspekte soos jurisdiksie en wanneer sekere wetgewing van krag is of nie meer toepaslik is nie. Hierdie saak het op 31 Augustus 2015 voor die hof gedien en die aansoek is toegestaan. Die wiele het egter in die agtergrond begin rol om Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana ingehuldig te kry as koning. Masindi se regspan moes die hof nader en ‘n dringende interdik aanvra om die proses te stop. Op 9 September 2016 het regter Khami Makhafola ‘n bevel toegestaan wat die inhuldiging gekeer het. Die saak het eindelik in Desember 2016 voor regter Ephraim Makgoba gedien, maar dit was vroeg reeds duidelik dat hy nie baie simpatiek teenoor Masindi en haar span was nie. Hy was nie oortuig dat al die opsies om die geskil te besleg gevolg is nie en het ook nie geglo dat geslagsdiskriminasie sentraal tot die saak staan nie. Volgens Johann het hulle vroeg in die verhoor reeds besef dat hulle nie veel van ‘n kans gegun word om hul saak te stel nie. Ná regter Makgoba mondelings uitspraak gelewer het op 14 Desember 2016 het Masindi se regspan dadelik begin werk aan ‘n appèl, wat die volgende dag geliasseer is. Hulle moes egter wag tot in Januarie 2018 vir ‘n skriftelike uitspraak. Die pleitstukke is gewysig, geliasseer en die aansoek is in Maart 2018 aangehoor. Regter Makgoba wou egter nie bes gee nie en het Masindi se regspan toestemming geweier om teen die vroeëre uitspraak te appelleer. Dit het hulle genoop om die Appèlhof in Bloemfontein direk te nader. Johann vertel dat die proses om die stukke gereed te kry vir die Appèlhof kompleks en tydsaam was. Die eskalerende regskostes was deurentyd ‘n probleem. Die Regshulpraad het in Desember 2015 ingestem om by te dra, maar met heelwat beperkings. Masindi se span het van twee advokate gebruik gemaak. Die span moes egter op erg-verminderde tariewe werk en heelwat van die uitgawes is nie gedek nie. Johann se firma moes maar instaan vir die kostes. Die hoër howe het hul eie unieke vereistes vir dokumente, wat beteken het die stapels dokumente moes verwerk, verkort en weer in die regte formaat geliasseer word. Die Appèlhofsaak het in Desember 2018 begin, wat volgens Johann een van die hoogtepunte in sy regsloopbaan was. Die volbank van regters was uiters simpatiek teenoor Masindi se saak en het besef hoe ‘n belangrike

stryd die bevordering van gelyke geleenthede vir vroue is. Die wetgewing is in plek om tradisionele gebruike in lyn te bring met die land se konstitusionele waardes, maar dit gebeur nie altyd nie. In April 2019 het die Appèlhof uitspraak gelewer wat as ‘n reuse-oorwinning nie net vir Masindi beskou is nie, maar ook vir vroueregte, veral in tradisionele areas. Die hof het Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana se erkenning as koning van die Vhavenda tersyde gestel en gesê dat die proses om ‘n nuwe leier te bepaal onregmatig was. Die saak is terugverwys na die Hooggeregshof, maar met ‘n voorwaarde dat ‘n ander regter dit moes aanhoor. Die Appèlhof wou egter nie ‘n bevel maak rondom koste nie, wat beteken het Masindi se regspan moes maar steeds rondkrap vir fondse om die saak verder te beveg. Om sake te bemoeilik, het die Appèlhof ‘n skuiwergat gelos deur nie vir Toni van sy waarnemende posisie te stroop nie, wat beteken dat hy steeds betaling ontvang het asof hy die koning was. Johann vertel dat die proses om die saak verhoor te kry toe weer moes begin, en weer het Toni se regspan gesloer. In 2019 het die nasionale en provinsiale Huis van Tradisionele Leiers, in opdrag van die Appèlhof, ‘n verslag uitgebring waarin hulle onder meer bevind dat Toni nie ‘n geskikte troonopvolger is nie, omdat hy die ndumi was. Toni Mphephu-Ramabulana was duidelik ietwat in ‘n hoek vasgeverf deur dié verslag. Sy regspan het toe besluit het om teen die Appèlhof se uitspraak te appelleer en dit na die Konstitusionele Hof te neem. Die enigste probleem was dat dit toe alreeds 15 maande te laat was. Volgens Johann het dit egter die deur oopgemaak vir hulle om sommer hul eie griewe te lug rondom die tekortkominge in die Appèlhof se uitspraak. Hulle het ook ‘n appèl geliasseer en gevra dat die hof onder andere vir Toni moes stroop van sy voordele. Die Konstitusionele Hof het verlede Vrydag uitspraak gegee in die saak, wat ‘n reuse-oorwinning vir Masindi behels het. Die hof het eerstens besluit om Toni se appèl van die hand te wys. Die redes wat aangevoer is hoekom die aansoek so laat ingedien is, was nie vir die hof aanvaarbaar nie. Ten spyte daarvan was die regters ook nie oortuig daarvan dat hul saak baie meriete het nie. Die hof was egter wel bereid om na die kruis-appèl van Masindi te luister. Onder meer is bevind dat die Appèlhof gefouteer het deur Toni toe te laat om as waarnemende koning op te tree en die voordele daarvan te geniet. Die hof het voorts ook bevind dat om Masindi te belas met al die kostes nie billik was nie. Interessant genoeg is ‘n kostebevel vir al drie howe waarin die saak gedien het toegestaan teen die President van die land. Die hof se argument was dat die onregmatige aksie van voormalige President Jacob Zuma aanleiding gegee het tot die geding. Die uitspraak in die land se hoogste hof is ‘n besonderse soet oorwinning vir Johann. Dit het bevestig dat hulle vertroue in Masindi se saak geregverdig was en dat die harde werk van bykans ‘n dekade nie verniet was nie. Die feit dat ‘n kostebevel uiteindelik gemaak is, verlig ook die druk aansienlik op Masindi en hul eie regsfirma. Die saak is egter nog ver van afgehandel. Johann en sy span het reeds begin om ‘n voorverhoor te probeer reël vir die Hooggeregshofsaak. Die Appèlhof en Konstitusionele Hof het gelukkig reeds uitsluitsel gegee oor heelwat van die tegniese punte, wat meebring dat die saak direk na verhoor kan gaan. Hulle plan is ook om die hof te vra om uitspraak te lewer en Masindi as koningin van die Vhavenda aan te wys. Johann het baie lof gehad vir die span wat al vir so lank aan die saak werk. Die span advokate het bestaan uit Alan Dodson (SC), Janice Bleazard en Mmakgomo Maenetje. Hy het ook baie respek vir Masindi Mphephu, wat as jong student opgestaan het vir haar en vroue se regte en te midde van geweldige druk aanhou om te veg vir dit waarin sy glo.

Die uitspraak in die land se hoogste hof is ‘n besonderse soet oorwinning vir Johann Hammann. Dit het bevestig dat hulle vertroue in Masindi se saak geregverdig was en dat die harde werk van bykans ‘n dekade nie verniet was nie. Die feit dat ‘n kostebevel uiteindelik gemaak is, verlig ook die druk aansienlik op Masindi en hul eie regsfirma.

Impala League cricket clash

SPCA Farmers’ and Craft market

The Louis Trichardt Cricket Club will face off against the BB Motors Hornbills Cricket Club in the third round of the provincial Impala Cricket League matcheson Sunday, 21 November. Louis Trichardt will enjoy the home-ground advantage, with this 50-over game starting at 10:00 at the Louis Trichardt Oval. Spectators are welcome.

The SPCA Louis Trichardt’s Christmas Craft and Farmers’ Market, as well as their ever-popular Mutt Mile, will take place at the SPCA’s grounds along the Vondeling Road on 27 November. “Now is the time to buy presents for your family and friends, and where better to do this than at the SPCA where you will be helping us take care of the animals at the same time,” said the local SPCA team. Market-goers will find a variety of goods to choose from, including jewellery, shoes, handbags, artwork, plants and gardening supplies, fresh vegetables, bottled produce, Tupperware, as well as wooden toys and trinkets for the little ones. “For the hungry shoppers there will be pancakes, corn dogs, burgers, kebabs, biltong and much more. Indian cuisine and dried fruit and nuts will be available as well,” said the team. “Don’t forget to buy a book or two that has been donated to the SPCA. The Legacy Vet Shop has everything you need for your pets,” they added. The stall holders have also generously donated items from their stalls towards a Christmas hamper with a collective value of R1 500 that will be raffled off. Tickets at R10 can be purchased from the SPCA and the draw will take place at 13:00 on the day. “For our stall holders, there will also be 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes for the best decorated stall. So, get your creative thinking caps on and put yourself in line for a lovely reward. Details to follow soon,” said the team. Residents are reminded that by supporting the market stalls they are also supporting the animals. A number of their stallholders sell their wares for the benefit of other individual charities, such as churches or schools. For more information please visit the Louis Trichardt SPCA Facebook page.

Above: We will remember them … On Sunday, 14 November, members of the South African armed forces, military veterans and civilians remembered those who had made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country as part of Remembrance Day. At 05:00 on Monday, 11 November 1918, a document was signed that brought an end to the First World War. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of that year, the guns fell silent. The war that was supposed to end all wars had come to an end, but not before an estimated nine million people had lost their lives. To pay homage those who had died in the war and subsequent wars, Remembrance Day was also commemorated at the MOTH’s Turbi Hills Shell Hole in Louis Trichardt. Photo supplied.

Remembrance Day was commemorated at the Turbi Hills Shell Hole in Louis Trichardt on Sunday. Pictured here with Turbi Hills’ Old Bill Ben Wolff (right) and Moth Iain Purdon is Sandy van Niekerk. Van Niekerk handed the shell hole a complimentary copy of her grandfather’s memoirs about the Battle of Delville Wood. As a survivor of this gruesome battle, Private Peter Knox put his memoirs to paper at the age of 79. Sandy wrote a book about it afterwards, titled The Story of Delville Wood. Apart from handing them a copy of the book, Sandy also laid a wreath on behalf of Lt Tim Kleinenberg, the first allied soldier from this area to die at Turbi Hills in North Africa, shot by an Italian sniper. Photo supplied.

Among those who paid tribute to his fallen comrades was the 94-year-old Ron Rose (born 14 August 1927), who laid a wreath on behalf of those who had died during the Second World War. Moth Rose is the only Second World War survivor of the Turbi Hills Shell Hole. Photo supplied.

Despite a brilliantly played 100 not out by Louis Trichardt batsman JP Coetzee, his efforts were not enough to secure the home side a victory in their provincial Impala Cricket League clash with the PanSolution Eagles from Polokwane. Louis Trichardt enjoyed the home-ground advantage when batting first at the Louis Trichardt Oval on Sunday, 14 November. The home side’s innings, however, got off to a somewhat shacky start with opener Nimesh Watekar getting dismissed for one run off nine balls, while Amir Bux Saif struggled to 25 runs off 60 balls before getting bowled. AJ Fourie struggled to scrape together 12 runs off 29 balls. Louis Trichardt’s chances, however, started looking a bit better when Coetzee walked to the batting crease, finishing on a not-out score of 100 runs off 112 balls, which included seven fours and five sixes. At the opposite end, Dewald Joubert contributed 17 runs off 15 balls, while Salman Patel hit 15 runs off 46 balls. Among the rest of the tailenders, only Juan-Michael Phillips managed double figures of 10 runs off 10 balls, with the team finishing their innings on a score of 233/9 after 50 overs. Louis Trichardt’s score would have looked far worse, were it not for the 45 extras the Eagles’ bowlers conceded. These included 36 wides. Nonetheless, Eagles’ Pieter Haasbroek had the most success with the ball, taking four wickets for the loss of 59 runs in his 10 overs. Ben Skade

took two wickets for the loss of 38 runs in his 10 overs, while Gerhard van Zyl and Morné Venter each toppled one wicket. Eagles team opener Theo Janse van Rensburg got his team off to an excellent start, hitting a quick 74 runs off 51 balls in an innings that included nine fours and three sixes. Fellow opener Pieter Haasbroek was less fortunate with the bat, contributing only one run after 12 balls. Adolf Swanepoel, however, slowly got the team back on track with 22 runs off 37 balls, after which a couple of “cheap” wickets, those of Charles van de Walt (8 runs off 14 balls) and Sias Willemse (0 runs from six balls), had Louis Trichardt sniffing victory again. This was not to be, with Morné Venter in at number six keeping the scoreboard ticking over with 63 runs (not out) off 67 balls. Chris Mohale added 17 runs off 30 balls, while Hanno van Zyl played carefully for his 18 runs off 77 balls. The batsmen’s contribution was enough to steer the Eagles to victory, scoring the winning runs of 234/6 in the 49th over, thus winning the game by four wickets. The Louis Trichardt bowlers did well to keep their extras to only 31 runs. Pick of the bowlers was Salman Patel, who took three wickets for the loss of 31 runs in his 10 overs. Dewald Joubert took two wickets for the loss of 32 runs in his 10 overs, while AJ Fourie took one wicket. This coming Sunday, 21 November, Louis Trichardt will again enjoy home ground advantage when they come up against the BB Motors Hornbills Cricket Club. This 50 over game will start at 10:00. Spectators are welcome.
