Woede na moord Deur Andries van Zyl

Die koelbloedige moord op die 80-jarige tannie Marthie Pauer, bekende boer- en sakevrou van die omgewing, het die afgelope week die Soutpansberg-gemeenskap tot in sy fondamente geskok en met woede vervul. Haar bebloede liggaam is verlede Donderdagaand, 23 September, in haar huis op Louis Trichardt gevind.

Tannie Marthie is die vorige dag laas lewend gesien. Sy het Woensdagaand van die familieplaas Vleifontein naby Waterpoort terug dorp toe gery, waarna sy en ‘n vriendin van haar, tannie Magda Strydom (72), gaan uiteet het. Omstreek 20:00 het die twee teruggekeer na tannie Marthie se huis. “Sy wou hê

ek moes saam met haar eers kom koffie drink, maar dit was reeds laat en ek wou ook by my huis kom. Die laaste keer wat ek haar gesien het, was toe sy vir my met haar flitsie gewaai het toe ek wegry,” het ‘n steeds erg hartseer tannie Magda gesê.

Sy is oortuig daarvan dat sy ook vermoor sou gewees het as sy saam met haar vriendin in haar huis ingegaan het.

Die vermoede bestaan dat tannie Marthie met haar terugkeer by haar huis deur haar moordenaar oorval is. Of die moordenaar vir haar buite haar huis ingewag het of reeds binne die huis was, is onseker.

Intussen het tannie Marthie se seun Junior, ‘n adjudant-offisier in die polisie wat by Waterpoort gestasioneer is, begin bekommerd raak omdat sy ma nie haar

foon antwoord nie. “Ek het herhaaldelik gebel. Haar foon het nie eers gelui nie,” het Junior aan die Zoutpansberger gesê.

Omdat Junior verlede Donderdag aan diens was, het hy ‘n vriendin van hom gevra om te gaan kyk of alles reg is by sy ma sy huis. Niks kon hulle voorberei vir wat vir hulle by tannie Marthie se huis gewag het nie. “’n Rukkie later hy my vriendin my teruggebel. Sy was in ‘n toestand. Toe sy die deur oopmaak, het sy my ma in ‘n plas bloed in haar kamer sien lê,” het Junior gesê. Dit was omstreek sewe-uur Donderdagaand. Junior het dadelik vanaf Waterpoort ingejaag dorp toe.

Intussen is die plaaslike polisie na die toneel ontbied.

Tannie Marthie se liggaam het verskeie diep wonde gehad. “Ek het gehoor hulle het nog nie die moor-

dwapen gekry nie,” het Junior gesê.

Hy het egter gesê dat dit definitief een of ander skerp voorwerp moes gewees het.

Edward Vele, a car guard at the mall, phoned Ndou, telling her that he had spotted the handbag inside a trolley on that Saturday afternoon.

“I did not know where the owner was, so I later took it home with me,” Vele said. He lives at Mpheni village, near Elim.

“On Sunday, I opened the bag to look for a contact number and fortunately found a small clinic book with her cellphone number in it. I called her and we arranged to meet at the mall on Monday,” he said.

Ndou had the highest praise for Vele’s honesty.

“All my belonging were still there. Nothing was missing, not even the money. I’m so thankful to him and when I’m in Makhado, I’ll never use another parking bay but the one that he guards,” she said.

In lewe was die 80-jarige Marthie Pauer, wat verlede week wreed in haar huis op Louis Trichardt vermoor is, ‘n boervrou van formaat gewees.

Marthie Louisa Susanna Pauer (nooi Du Toit) is op 31 Julie 1941 in die destydse Pietersburg gebore. Haar ouers en broer Tooi (82) het op Sandfontein, nou bekend as Mahlala, wes van die stad gewoon waar haar pa tot en met 1946 die polisie se stasiebevelvoerder was.

In 1955 het die gesin na Barberton verhuis, waar Marthie skoolgegaan het. Sy het in Pretoria gematrikuleer in 1959 waarna sy as onderwyseres gekwalifiseer het by Normaal Kollege (NKP).

Halfway House, nou bekend as Midrand, was waar die familie toe gewoon het tot sy in 1960 met Freddie Pauer getroud is. Sy het daarna na Freddie se plaas op Waterpoort getrek (waar die familie steeds woon) en by die skool op Mopanie begin klas gee. Drie seuns, Junior, Francois en Jaco, is uit Freddie en Marthie se huwelik gebore.

Die egpaar het geboer op Waterpoort tot en met Freddie se afsterwe in 2006. Voor dit het die egpaar ook in 1976 ‘n slaghuis op Waterpoort geopen, waardeur Freddie sy beeste bemark het.

Marthie het ook ‘n opleidingsentrum vir die Departement van Arbeid op Waterpoort bedryf.

Marthie was bekend as ‘n raakvat boervrou.

Sy was ‘n uitstekende naaldwerkster en het die hoogste kwaliteit projekte en klere gemaak. Sy het haar talent graag gedeel met honderde studente in haar naaldwerk-opleidingsentrum op die familieplaas (Vleifontein) om vir hulle te leer om klere vir hulself en hulle families te maak. Sy het ook uitgeblink as ‘n meubelstoffeerder.

Haar kinders en kleinkinders vertel graag van haar heerlike boerekos. “Ouma Marthie se koekies en boerbeskuit! Voorwaar was sy ‘n bobaas bakster! Ouma Marthie se boerewors resep is haar ‘legacy’. Nêrens in die wêreld sal jy lekkerder boerewors kry nie,” het haar familie gesê.

Marthie het vir soveel plaasmense gesorg. Sy het hulle ondersteun en die middele gegee en hul geleer om vir hulle gesinne ‘n goeie lewe te maak. Sy was bekend in die Soutpansberg-omgewing en het op vele komitees en die plaaslike

VLU gedien.

Ná Freddie se dood het Marthie se seuns verantwoordelikhede op die plaas oorgeneem.

Aanvanklik eers Jaco, totdat hy en sy familie in 2010 na Australië geëmigreer het. Daarna het Francois oorgeneem. Ma Marthie het egter nooit regtig afgetree nie en het tot haar dood tussen die plaas en haar huis in die dorp gependel.

Wyle Marthie word oorleef deur haar drie seuns, broer, ses kleinkinders en haar skoonfamilie. Haar afsterwe laat ‘n groot leemte in talle se lewens. ‘n Roudiens sal Donderdag, 7 Oktober, om 11:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente gehou word. Die diens sal ook lewendig via die Internet uitgesaai word.

Junior het intussen namens die familie sy dank uitgespreek teenoor die gemeenskap van Soutpansberg vir hulle omgee en woorde van vertroosting. Hy het spesifiek broer Francois bedank wat omsien na die plaas, asook ‘n spesiale woord van dank gerig aan sy vriendin Elsabé Jordaan.

doodgemaak het nie. Neem hulle nie ander landsburgers se veiligheid in ag nie?” het Junior gesê.

Intussen moes Junior Dinsdag sy ma se liggaam gaan uitken by die lykshuis op Elim. “Ek het berusting. Sekere mense is net barbaars,” het Junior gesê.

The overall winner of the Zoutpansberger’s photo-novel competition is Nyandano Ramushweu from Ridgeway College. Nyandano came up against strong opposition from his fellow schoolmates. Zwothe Thotori send in some really good entries and the judges were especially impressed with her willingness to tackle social issues such as gender violence. Dede Bessong’s entry was delightful and Xirimbi Baloyi also entered a highly enjoyable story. In the end, the overall winner’s prize of R1 000 was awarded to Nyandano, because he had entered two winning entries, as opposed to the single winning entries of the other competitors.

pay their officials a ‘danger fee’ during the hard lockdown period as officials were forced to look after the prisoners amidst the Covid pandemic.

“They [the prison] did not qualify to claim at all – for nobody,” said Kganyago. He reiterated the fact that nobody at the prison had taken a pay cut or pay reduction during this time. “They were working throughout,” said Kganyago.

Kganyago said that SACM initially said they would pay back the money. “They volunteered to pay back this money, this R6,2 million. Their intention was to pay, so that this thing can go away. We said ‘No, you pay it, but it is still fraud, what you did’. Now it looks like they do not want to pay it anymore,” said Kganyago.

Of the R6,2 million paid to SACM, Kganyago said, only about R2 million was paid over to staff members. The newspaper then wanted to know if private individuals were suspected to have benefited from the remaining R4 million? “We don’t know. The fact is, R6,2 million was paid from TERS to the SACM. The company took some two point something million rand to pay the ‘danger fee’ and kept the rest,” said Kganyago.

Although the KSCC is privately owned and managed

by SACM, they operate under the auspices of the Department of Correctional Service (DCS).

The Zoutpansberger therefore asked the DCS to comment on

the investigation as their contract with SACM prohibits SACM from speaking to the media.

In response, Mr Singabakho Nxumalo, the national spokesperson for the DCS, said that the SIU’s probe was based on information provided by “dismissed and disgruntled employees who were paid the Covid-19 allowance before they were dismissed in April and May 2020 by the contractor, South African Custodial Management (SACM) at the Kutama-Sinthumule Correctional Centre”.

“The dismissed duo were paid Covid-19 allowances in April and May 2020 financial year as there was a circular issued ordering that staff members working at correctional centres be paid an additional Special Danger Allowance on top of the allowances which they normally receive,” said Nxumalo.

Nxumalo stated that the SACM at Kutama-Sinthumule Correctional Centre was then

informed that they did not qualify to submit the UIF claim because the company had not closed for a period of two weeks. “The contractor is in the process of paying back the money to the UIF. There was an overpayment of about R4,3 million which was paid with that particular claim. SACM then notified the fund [UIF] on two occasions about the overpayment and requested UIF to provide banking details where the money should be paid. Unfortunately, there was no response to the emails sent to the UIF,” said Nxumalo. He concluded by stating that all this information had been provided to the SIU, together with supporting documents.

“The fact is, R6,2 million was paid from TERS to the SACM. The company took some two point something million rand to pay the ‘danger fee’ and kept the rest.” - Kaizer Kganyago (SIU spokesperson)

4x4-entoesiaste gaan vir Mateo help Fondsinsameling Die Louis Trichardt 4x4klub bied op 16 Oktober weer hulle gewilde Gruisgat 4x4-dag aan en hou vanjaar ‘n spesiale loting ten bate van klein Mateo Venter (14 maande).

Mateo het in April baie siek begin word. Ná maande van doktersbesoeke en medisyne wat geen verskil gemaak het nie, is toetse gedoen en uiteindelik vasgestel waar die probleem lê - ‘n skadelike bakterie was besig om gaatjies in sy magie te vreet. Hy is ‘n maand gelede op nuwe medikasie geplaas en volgens sy ma, Verushca, gaan dit klaar heelwat beter en lyk dit of die medikasie begin werk. Die dokter klink tevrede en Mateo hoef nie in hierdie stadium terug te gaan vir nog toetse nie, tensy hy weer so baie begin hoes en opgooi, waarvoor Verushca dankbaar is, want sy sê sy klein lyfie is al klaar deur so baie.

Die mediese kostes om Mateo gesond te kry was egter meer as wat Verushca in staat is om self te dra. Voordat hy in die hospitaal opgeneem kon word vir die eerste reeks toetse moes sy R29 460.20 neersit, waarvoor sy ‘n lening moes aangaan. Buiten hierdie bedrag moes die pediater, toetse en medikasie ook nog betaal word. Hulle totale uitgawes staan reeds op R47 910.60.

Verushca het ‘n versoek om donasies op Back A Buddy se

webtuiste gerig, en die fondsinsamelingsteiken is vir R60 000 gestel om voorsiening te maak vir moontlike addisionele uitgawes. Tot dusver staan hulle op R8 865.36 wat donateurs in Back A Buddy se bankrekening inbetaal het, en sy sê baie dankie aan elkeen wat hulle in hierdie tyd ondersteun.

Die 4x4-klub het ‘n blouwildebees en rooibok as skenking gekry om uit te loot teen R100 per kaartjie, wat sal gaan om Mateo se mediese kostes te help dek. Twee trekkings gaan gedoen word. Die eerste een is net ‘n gelukkige trekking, wat tydens die Gruisgat 4x4-dag (16 Oktober) gedoen sal word.

Kaartjiehouers moet egter in persoon daar wees om hierdie prys te ontvang. Al word jou kaartjie vir die gelukkige trekking getrek, kom jy nog steeds

in aanmerking vir die finale trekking vir die groot prys (blouwildebees en rooibok).

Die sluitingsdatum vir die finale trekking is 30 Oktober.

Kaartjieverkope sluit stiptelik om 16:00 en die trekking word om 17:00 gedoen. Die wenner kan die bokke self gaan skiet of dit kan vir hom/ haar geskiet word. Hy/sy sal geskakel word om reëlings daar rondom te tref.

Indien enigiemand kaartjies wil koop, of wil help om ‘n boekie te verkoop, is hulle welkom om vir Christa Otto by die 4x4-klub te skakel by 084 374 0505, CW Burger by 082 378 3151 of Riana Otto by 084 400 9941.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Die Zoutpansberger se voorblad van 27 September 1996 het beslis sy kwota van hartseer, misdaad en misterie opgelewer.

Wat die hartseer betref, is berig oor die 22-jarige Lucas Lund wat in ‘n motorongeluk naby Middelburg oorlede is. Lund het in 1992 sy matriek geskryf aan Hoërskool Louis Trichardt en ná voltooiing van sy nasionale diensplig op Potchefstroom het hy in Middelburg gaan werk. Die ongeluk het plaasgevind nadat Lund vermoedelik vir ‘n voertuig wat voor hom ingedraai het, uitgeswaai het. In die proses het hy voor ‘n aankomende vragmotor beland. Ook dié het hy vermy deur uit te swaai, maar in die proses het sy voertuig die pad verlaat en in ‘n sloot beland. Lund is halflyf uit die voertuig geslinger, waarna dit oor hom gerol het. Hy is op slag dood. Vier van sy vriende saam met hom in sy voertuig het ligte beserings opgedoen.

Wat misdaad betref het lede van die destydse Suid-Afrikaanse Narkotikaburo (Sanab) op dobbelmasjiene van meer as R1 miljoen by die Impala Lily Motel in Musina beslag gelê. Twee personeellede is ook gearresteer op klagte dat hulle die Dobbelwet oortree het deur dobbelspel toe te laat. Die dobbeltoerusting het ingesluit 55 dobbelmasjiene en vier Poker-, Black Jack- en Roulette-tafels.

Vanaf die Waterpoort-omgewing het ‘n gru-vonds op ‘n plaas in die omgewing polisie aan die kopkrap gehad. ‘n

Kopbeen en skouerblad van ‘n persoon is deur ‘n plaaswerker op die plaas Rooigrond in ‘n plastieksak gevind. Volgens die polisie was die beendere toe reeds sowat ‘n jaar oud gewees. Hulle was egter nie seker oor die geslag van die bene nie.

Op die sportfront is Louis Trichardt se Bloues, oftewel die dorp se eerste rugbyspan, “beroof” van ‘n historiese vierde agtereenvolgende oorwinnings in die provinsiale Tom Naudé-liga. Hulle het die eindstryd teen Pietersburg 7-8 verloor nadat hulle vir 80 minute die sterker span op die veld was.

In Memoriam

Corrie se skielike dood ‘n groot skok In Memoriam Inwoners van Louis Trichardt en omstreke het met hartseer verneem van die skielike dood van 60-jarige mnr. Corrie Erasmus op 27 September. Sy dood was ‘n dubbele terugslag vir sy familie met die dood van sy en sy eggenote Marie se seun Hennie (33) minder as ‘n jaar gelede.

Corrie is vanweë ‘n aneurisme oorlede en was geensins sieklik voor die tyd gewees nie. Hy was ten tye van sy afsterwe werksaam by Belta Services, alhoewel meeste mense hom sal onthou vir sy jarelange verbintenis met Saffas Begrafnisondernemers.

“Hy was ‘n man wat sy familie met alles lief gehad het en enige iets vir sy familie sou doen.

Vol grappies en was baie lief vir visvang,” het die familie gesê. ‘n Gedenkdiens sal eerskomende Saterdag, 2 Oktober, vir wyle Corrie gehou word. Weens Covid-19 regulasies sal die diens egter net vir direkte familie en vriende wees. Wyle Corrie word oorleef deur sy vrou Marie, dogter Nelda, skoondogter Ruanda, skoonseun Ryan, twee kleinseuns, suster Sannetjie en skoonfamilie.

REMEMBRANCE DAY On Sunday, 14

November, the South African National Defence Force, military veterans and civilians will spend two minutes remembering those who had made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country as part of Armistice Day, also called 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 died in the war and subsequent wars, Remembrance Day is commemorated annually. The Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) of Louis Trichardt will be holding their annual Remembrance Day parade and wreath-laying ceremony on 14 November at 10:30 for 11:00 at their Turbi Hills Shell Hole at 66 Burger Street.

All members of the public are welcome to attend.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 1 OKTOBER 2021

Water shortages for Soutpansberg soon to be resolved Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation Ms Dikeledi Magadzi said that water challenges in the communities of Kutama-Sinthumule and Louis Trichardt would hopefully soon be a thing of the past after certain problems had finally been resolved regarding the Sinthu-

mule-Kutama Bulk Water Supply Project.

The problems that hindered progress include the Vuwani Pipeline, where construction started in October 2014. The project was supposed to be completed in 2017, but still has not produced sufficient water for the communities.

Magadzi, joined by the executive mayor of Vhembe District Municipality, Dowelani Nenguda, Limpopo Provincial Director of the Department of Water and Sanitation Ms Lucy Kobe and the project manager for the Sinthumule-Kutama Bulk Water Supply Project, Mr Ndivhuwo Muthige, went on a fact-finding mission during a visit to the project site along the Thohoyandou-Louis Trichardt Road on Monday, 20 September.

“I came here to avail myself with what exactly the issues are here that cause this project to take so long,” Magadzi said. “One of the problems indicated had to do with pipes that had to pass through a certain farm that caused trouble, but that had been resolved. The water license was another issue that took a long time to be resolved, as well as the procurement programme and process at the Department of Water and Sanitation, in particular the procurement of the jacking of the pipes. Twenty-one (21) days from today (20 September), the bid will be closed, and people will be on site to deal with these issues,” Magadzi said. She expects these problems to be resolved within two months.

Another topic for discussion was the fact that the Nandoni Dam’s pump station produces only 60 megalitres of water per day and should be augmented to produce 100 megalitres per day, so

Friday’s gymkhana event at Lalapanzi Hotel was no real challenge for this 1972 Steyr-Puch Haflinger of Charles Leach. These little trucks were manufactured between 1959 and 1975 by the Austrian firm Steyr-Daimler-Puch and were exported all over the world. Charles recruited Adri van Zyl to be his passenger and place the cups on the sticks as they rushed through the course. They had to be content with a second place overall, however, after being beaten by the father-and-son combination of Anton and Elardus van Zyl in a 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite.

Leon le Roux in aksie in die karrol item waar hy ‘n kar vier keer in 60 sekondes moes rol.

Hierin eindig hy derde. Foto verskaf.

Verskeie karatekas van die Soutpansberg Karateklub het op 11 September deelgeneem aan die Alle Style Karatekampioenskap in Louis Trichardt en plekke ingepalm. Voor, van links na regs, is Juliano Pessegueiro (silwer kata en brons kumité), Murendendi Sevhugwana (brons kata en kumité), Ian Sadie (silwer kata en kumité) en Rynhardt Botes (brons kata en kumité). In die middel is Renee van Niekerk (goud kata en silwer kumité), Caleb Meyers (brons kata en kumité), Colin Meyers (goud kata en brons kumité) en Kailey Botes (silwer kata en goud kumité).

Agter staan sensei Johnathan Janse van Rensburg, sensei Tommy Janse van Rensburg en sensei Lourens Botes. Afwesig tydens die neem van die foto was Janu van Staden (brons kata en kumité) en Leoni Jordaan (goud kata en brons kumité). Foto verskaf.

Hierdie groep swemmers van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is aangewys as die skool se toppresteerders ná afloop van die skool se interhuis swemgala wat op 9 September aangebied is. Van links na regs staan Carla Enslin (senior Victrix ludorum), Reynard Wilson (beste rugslag swemmer en junior Victor ludorum), Wulf Schwerdfeger (senior Victor ludorum), Herman Scheepers (beste vryslag swemmer), Mia Alberts (beste borsslag swemmer) en Junél Joubert (beste vlinderslag swemmer en junior Victrix ludorum). Foto verskaf.

Sterkman Leon spog met derde plek by Arnold Sport Festival (Vervolg van p.12) “Dit het bestaan uit drie vaatjies en twee sementballe. Vaatjie een was 60 kg, vaatjie twee 80 kg en die derde vaatjie 100 kg. Die twee balle was 100kg elk. Die voorwerpe was in ‘n kring geplaas, elkeen 15 meter weg. Jy het 75 sekondes gehad om al vyf items in die kring te gaan sit. Dit het goed gegaan tot ek my eerste bal in die kring gesit het. Die bal het uit die kring uit gerol en ek het dit nie gesien. Eers toe ek die tweede bal optel het die een beampte my gesê die bal is uit die kring uit. Ek moes toe eers terug hardloop en die bal gaan terugsit en toe weer teruggaan om die ander bal te gaan haal. Toe ek hom weer optel, was my tyd verstreke en ek het derde geëindig,” het Le Roux gesê. Hy is daarvan oortuig dat as die bal nie uitgerol het nie, sou hy ook dié item gewen het wat heel moontlik aan hom ‘n eerste plek in beide die kompetisie en sy klas sou besorg het.

In die laaste item moes Le Roux ‘n 70 kg gewig met een hand en arm bokant sy kop uitdruk. Hier het hy tweede geëindig.

“Op die einde van die dag het ek eerste plek met 2,5 punte gemis en 2de plek met 1,5 punte. Ek is baie tevrede met my derde plek, siende dat dit saam die jong manne was en die gewigte swaarder is as die Meesters groep.

Glo my dat ek die manne laat sweet het vir hul eerste en tweede plekke. Hulle het dit verseker nie op ‘n skinkbord gekry nie,” het Le Roux ná afloop van die kompetisie gesê.

Le Roux was vol lof vir die puik wyse waarop

die kompetisie gereël is. “Soos gewoonlik was my vrou [Marihan] aan my sy en met ‘n heesgeskreeude stem. Sy is baie trots op my, veral omdat ek dié keer geen beserings opgedoen het nie. Baie dankie vir my vrou en haar suster, wat net vir die dag van Coligny deurgery het Pretoria toe vir ondersteuning. My vrou is ‘n ware steunpilaar en motiveer my baie,” het Le Roux gesê.

Vir Le Roux is sy puik prestasie die afgelope naweek bitter soet. “Ek kan ongelukkig nie my droom vervul om in November Amerika toe te gaan vir die World Strongman Games nie as gevolg van finansiële redes. Dit is eenvoudig net te duur. Ek kan ook nie Africas gaan doen in November nie. Dit word dié jaar in Mosselbaai gehou. Ek kan ongelukkig ook nie dit bekostig nie,” het Le Roux gesê.

Te midde van die slegte nuus is daar wel goeie nuus, nie net vir Le Roux nie, maar die hele Soutpansberg.

“Daar is darem goeie nuus vir Louis Tri­ chardt vir 2022. Die Africa Strongman Union het my gevra om die SA Sterkman Kampioen­ skappe volgende jaar in Louis Trichardt te onthaal. Ek wag net vir die datum en dan sal ek met die reëlings begin. Dit sal gehou word onder die vaandel van Paul’s Body Shop op LMB Makhado,” het Le Roux gesê. Hy het bygevoeg dat dit blootstelling sal gee aan alle sterkmanne in Limpopo en enige persoon sal kan inskryf. “So, Louis Trichardt, maak reg vir SA Sterkman 2022!” het Le Roux gesê.

Eliz-Mari shines at XCO Champs with national fourth place Two of Louis Trichardt’s promising young cyclists, Eliz-Mari Pretorius (18) and Andani Raphalalani (16), really excelled during the final round of the South African XCO Championships in Pietermaritzburg the past weekend.

Eliz-Mari, a matric learner at High School Louis Trichardt, took a well-fought-for national fourth place in the Junior women’s category at the weekend’s race. For her this was a very stressful race as she partook in her first SA XCO Championships.

“During the race I could feel the adrenaline

kick in and my heart was pounding. But it was great fun to race my first SA Championship and to see all the girls. Everyone was so enthusiastic and ready to race. It was very serious at the starting line, but everyone was very happy to be there, and I didn’t even fall once, considering the difficult track,” said Eliz-Mari. Her preparation leading up to the weekend’s race was very intense, especially the last week as she wanted everything to go as planned.

Eliz-Mari said she had enjoyed the race from start to the finish, adding that the supporters from the Limpopo Province had greatly contributed to her performance. “It was one of my best cycling experiences thus far. The atmosphere

and the people contributed to make it more than just a race,” said Eliz-Mari.

Andani, who took part only last weekend and finished third in the gruelling Magoeba Stage Race Challenge, performed very well on this difficult track, taking 34th place in the Youth men’s category. With no stress before the race and not feeling the expected amount of power in his legs, Andani found the race a bit weird at first but managed to finish exceptionally well. Unfortunately, because of the prevailing circumstances, the crowds were not as big, but a few sections of the course indeed did have groups of people cheering the riders on as they passed. Andani mentioned that even though he was tired, the

spectators always found a way to cheer him on and that specific section of the course suddenly got a lot easier.

For Andani, last weekend’s stage race was important preparation for him. He had to make sure to perform well in the stage race, but not to overtrain in order to do well in the SA XCO Champs.

For the non-cyclists who may not grasp the difficulty of the track in Pietermaritzburg, known as Cascades, it hosted the Mountain Biking Downhill World Championships in 2013, which saw local and possibly one of the greatest MTB Downhill racers of all time, Greg Minnaar, win the race and defend his world title.

plek gekry.

“Die stryd om die eerste drie plekke was taai gewees,” het Le Roux gesê. Hy het aan vyf items deelgeneem. Die eerste daarvan was die klipgooi.

“Dit was ‘n 15 kg klip wat jy moes kyk hoe ver jy hom kon gooi. Ek het die item gewen,” het Le Roux gesê.

Tweede was die Kettle Bell gooi. “Dit is agt gewigte van 12 kg tot 30 kg wat jy oor ‘n 4m dwarslat moet gooi. Ek het die item ook gewen,” het Le Roux gesê.

In item drie moes Le Roux ‘n kar vier keer rol binne 60 sekondes. Hier het hy derde geëindig.

Volgende aan die beurt was ‘n dra-wisselslag.
