Happy holidays from everyone at the Zoutpansberger.

Sjoe, wat ‘n jaar!

Deur Andries van Zyl

In hierdie laaste uitgawe van die Zoutpansberger vir 2019 kyk ons na die artikels wat die meeste aftrek onder lesers op die koerant se webtuiste (www.zoutpansberger.co.za) geniet het. Wat gou duidelik is, is dat die Engelse spreekwoord “bad news sells newspapers” ongelukkig steeds waar is.

2019 het beslis sy kwota slegte nuus opgelewer en heelwat gesinne sal hierdie Kerstyd en Nuwe Jaar ingaan met ‘n leë plekkie in die huis met ‘n geliefde wat die afgelope jaar aan die dood afgestaan is. ‘n Vinnige opname toon dat die Zoutpansberger die afgelope jaar meer as vyftig doodsberigte gedra het. In die meeste gevalle was kanker of hoë ouderdom die oorsaak van dood, maar daar was ‘n paar gevalle wat uitgestaan het.

Dit is dan nie vreemd dat die artikel oor die dood van bekende plaaslike kunstenaar en aktivis Annette Kennealy die mees-gelese artikel vir 2019 op die Zoutpansberger se webtuiste was nie. Die sprankelende Kennealy, wat regtig geen bekendstelling in die Soutpansberg nodig gehad

het nie, is in Mei op haar plaas vermoor. Haar plaasarbeider is kort na haar liggaam gevind is in verband met haar dood gearresteer en is tans verhoorafwagtend. ‘n Totaal van 23 847 mense het die berig oor Kennealy se dood gelees.

Die tweede “gewildste” artikel op die koerant se webtuiste was ook oor die dood, die keer oor drie van Marilee van der Merwe en haar man se pragleeus op hul plaas net buite Louis Trichardt in Augustus. Die leeus is vergiftig en daarna is twee van hulle se koppe en potte afgesny. Vir Marilee was die leeus “soos kinders” gewees en die voorval het die familie baie trauma besorg.

In totaal het 22 349 mense die berig op die webtuiste gelees.

Alhoewel dit nie trauma was nie, het die derde mees-gelese artikel op die Zoutpansberger se webtuiste beslis gesorg vir die nodige drama, bygesê dat baie lesers oorgespoel het van die Zoutpansberger se susterskoerant, die Limpopo Mirror, waarin die artikel aanvanklik verskyn het. Dit was die artikel in April vanjaar waarin berig is dat die appèlhof oud-president Jacob Zuma se aankondiging dat Toni Mphephu Ramabulana die koning van die Venda-nasie is,

ongeldig verklaar het. ‘n Totaal van 15 167 webtuiste besoekers het die artikel gelees.

Trauma en drama was weereens die sentrale tema van die vierde mees-gelese artikel, die keer oor die barbaarse aanval op die 80-jarige tannie Joekie Nortjé en haar 62-jarige seun, Johan (Kiewiet), op hulle familieplaas net buite Louis Trichardt in Mei. Vyf mans het op die plaas opgedaag onder die voorwendsel dat hulle varke wou koop. Die vyf het egter tannie Joekie-hulle oorval en wreed aangerand. Gelukkig het hulle die aanval oorleef. 13 382 mense het die artikel aanlyn gelees.

Dit was darem nie net die hele tyd slegte nuus gewees nie. Alhoewel nie ‘n artikel nie, het die video van ‘n virtuele toer van die nuwe Makhado Crossing na sy opening in November ook baie aftrek geniet. In totaal het 9 257 lesers na die video gaan kyk. Eweneens het die artikel oor die opgradering en beplande opening van die nuwe Makhado Crossing in April vanjaar ook baie belangstelling onder lesers ontlok met 7 769 lesers wat aanlyn gaan kyk het wat in die pyplyn is vir Louis Trichardt.

Ook op ‘n positiewe noot het baie lesers die

nuus van ‘n beplande kampus vir die Universiteit van Venda (Univen) vir Louis Trichardt goed ontvang. In die artikel in Maart vanjaar word berig dat die Makhado Munisipaliteit en die bestuur van Univen reeds in gesprek getree het oor die vestiging van ‘n satellietkampus hier. ‘n Totaal van 6 828 lesers het die artikel onder oë gehad.

Die artikel in Mei vanjaar oor die kroonprins van Saoedi-Arabië, Mohammed bin Salman, wat net noord van die Soutpansberg kom nes skop het, het ook wye reaksie ontlok. Gerugte oor die Arabiese leier se uitbreidings op plase in die Waterpoort en Mopane distrikte doen al ‘n jaar of wat die rondte. In plaaslike kringe is dit een van die “ope geheime” dat die eintlike eienaar van die jagplaas, Ekland, nie ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappy is nie. Dit was egter eers ná berigte in die nasionale media verskyn het, dat die sluier begin lig het oor wie presies die sowat 20 000 hektaar grond besit. ‘n Totaal van 5 473 lesers het die artikel van nader gaan bekyk op die koerant se webblad.

Unlocking access for next-generation farmers Agricultural News This is a story not of a man who asked for money, but of a man who asked for mentorship and access. He planted every tree on his farm, watched them grow, and learnt that with farming, a grassroots beginning truly is the precursor to success.

Gene Likhanya’s start in life was not an atypical one; however, his is one that is taking an extraordinary path. Born in Venda in 1984, his world was partly growing up while living with his father in the township of Soweto, and partly with his mother in the family community in Venda. His parents did not have much money, but their emphasis on education saw to it that they sent Gene (and his two siblings) to the very best schools they could possibly afford.

“It is not about black and white for me. It is about what happens between emerging and established farmers and players in the market.

Navigating the space of exclusion as a new entrant to farming is difficult. Understandably so, when compared to those in the big leagues, your

fledging operation pales. It is also not necessarily about grant money, but more about access, sharing it, in the form of mentorship, so that the fledglings can also grow. Here is the rub, and it is not just a belief, it is something I can prove: an altruistic attitude to business begets growth in your operation, as well as personal success,” shares Likhanya, CEO of Madimbo Mac’s Pty. Likhanya’s level head, self-sufficiency and healthy attitude to risk saw him join the army when his parents were unable to send him to university. Two years working in a peacekeeping capacity for the UN in Burundi taught him valuable lessons that he embodies in life today and afforded him the opportunity to save enough money to self-fund his Bachelor of Commerce degree, majoring in entrepreneurship at the University of Johannesburg. His money also stretched as far as buying his first 2.5 hectares of land in Tshakhuma, Venda.

“Foremost I learnt about timekeeping. Not just being on time, but for its implications: to show up for life and make the very most of the short time we have. Secondly, I developed a deep

Some of the team members contributing to the success of Madimbo Mac’s Pty.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week 25 jaar gelede was dit ook duidelik dat mense in die Soutpansberg begin afskaal het vir Kersfees, met ‘n groot deel van die Zoutpansberger van 16 Desember 1994 wat afgestaan is aan Kersboodskappe van onder meer burgemeesters en stadsklerke. Daar was egter ook hartseer.

In een van die voorbladberigte word gerapporteer van die toe 27-jarige Fritz du Toit wat sy nek gebreek het tydens ‘n fratsongeluk by die Tshipise-vakansieoord. Du Toit het op Sondag, 11 Desember, die besering opgedoen nadat hy in ‘n swembad geduik het en sy kop gestamp het. Hy sou egter nie die besering oorleef nie en is op 23 Desember van daardie jaar oorlede.

Ook op die voorblad word berig van matige waterbeperkings wat ingestel is in die dorp, nadat die Albasinidam se vlak tot 9,98% gedaal het. Dit het tot gevolg gehad dat inwoners van Louis Trichardt met ewe getal huisnommers slegs op Dinsdae, Donderdae en Saterdae hul tuine kon natmaak, terwyl inwoners van onewe getal huisnommers slegs op Maandae, Woensdae en Vrydae hul tuine kon watergee. ‘n Tuinslang kon gebruik word, maar slegs as dit in die hand vasgehou is. Geen sproeiers mag gebruik word nie.

Twee inwoners van die padkamp buite die dorp se rookgewoontes het hulle ook duur te staan gekom. Die mans van 21 en 19 jaar is betrap met 13 gram dagga. Hulle het in die hof aangevoer dat hulle vir die afgelope

19 x 4

paar maande al dagga gerook het en het die gewoonte geblameer op verkeerde vriende.

Beide mans is ‘n boete van R200 of 60 dae gevangenisstraf opgelê.

In ander hoofnuus is berig van vyf persone, waaronder drie werknemers van ‘n bekende plaaslike sekuriteitsfirma, wat deur die polisie gearresteer is vir die besit van onwettige vuurwapens. Die polisie het op twee 9 mm pistole beslag gelê wat weggestuur is vir ballistiese toeste, aangesien daar vermoed is dat hulle verbind kon word met gewapende rooftogte.

capacity for empathy. Envisioning the hardships people in the rest of Africa face buoyed me to make the most of every opportunity that came my way and to practice gratitude every day,” comments Likhanya. Throughout his studies, together with his brother, he planted the 2.5 hectares with macadamia trees. They experimented, they sourced trees from all over, good and bad; they failed before they succeeded and battled to access advice and guidance from the “major leagues”. The woeful gap in availability of and access to resources meant that finding their way took them longer. Just over 10 years later, and having also worked as a business consultant for Old Mutual during this time, he and brother had bought (without any funding or grant money), planted and brought to full production 10 hectares of macadamias in one of South Africa’s most impoverished regions - a region that relies heavily on creation of rural employment.

“I was ready to deliver my crop for processing and scoured the market for this service. The Green Farms Nut Company (GFNC) stood out in their commitment and willingness to engage with me. I am aware of the time and dedication smallholder growers ask from their processing partners; however, it seemed surprisingly short-sighted not to invest into emerging growers of today for the success of the processing business in future. GFNC intrinsically understands the value of this; they have a heart for emerging growers and play a pivotal role in helping emerging farmers participate in the value chain,” continues Likhanya.

“It is not just about ‘upliftment’. Broadening the active agricultural base in South Africa is an imperative - for bottom-line economic output and stability in our country, and frankly, for the future success and growth of our business. It is beyond duty to engage and support farmers like Gene through the supply chain, it is good for business too. Core to GFNC values is investing in infrastructure and growth of the macadamia industry in South Africa. The business has consistently been at the forefront of this for over 30 years. Our mission is to grow the pie, not fight for a slice,” says Allen Duncan, CEO of GFNC. The big boys think so too, and they are not just about giving money; they want rigour, structure, accountability, and, ultimately, more of the Gene Likhanya-type successes that our country so desperately needs. Likhanya has secured funding from the SAB Foundation, and a 99-year lease has been agreed with the tribal authorities of the Ha-Mahau region in Venda to develop 45 hectares of macadamias (which will be interplanted with cash and cover crops) over the next two years.

Likhanya has also set up his own farmer incubator programme, which has taken on board 12 emerging growers, with five hectares each (60

hectares total) in the surrounds of Ha-Mahau.

Together with financial and other support from the SAB Foundation, and Likhanya with his innate understanding of the unique and varied challenges farming in the most rural regions of South Africa, the incubation’s charter is to create sustainable business not only for the farmers, but for support to service-provider businesses in the area for the next 40 years and beyond.

In its entirety, the incubator initiative employs 37 temporary staff, of which 28 are female. This number increases to 50 people when Likhanya’s individual project in the same region is taken into account. He also employs nine permanent staff on his farm in Tshakhuma. A nursery housing 50 000 seedlings is being set up in 2019 and 5000 trees are set to be planted this year, which locals will be benefiting from through skills transfer.

“You care about the rands and cents when you farm in a community, but you don’t let the rands and cents dictate how you do business in communities. Put simply, you don’t step on peoples’ necks. Sometimes we need to believe in people, to give them the gap to innovate. The manager on my farm is a woman who never had a job before. This is meaningful, worthwhile stuff; I want to impact society and change lives for the better. My vision is for this concept to roll out on a bigger scale through the value chain, but still within community farms. My focus is not on private farms or government funding. Bringing people from the fringes of society to inclusive farming is my primary motivation,” Likhanya concludes. (Photos and article supplied by Annelle Whyte, communications manager of GFNC)

2019 lewer sy kwota slegte nuus op (Vervolg vanaf p.1) Oor die algemeen lok die Zoutpansberger se top artikels op hul webblad tussen 2 000 en 3 000 lesers wat in ‘n mate ‘n oorspoel is van die koerant se gedrukte weergawe. Wat die gedrukte weergawe betref, bedien die Zoutpansberger ‘n redelik konserwatiewe getal van 12 000 tot 15 000 lesers per week. Oor ‘n maandlange periode lok die Zoutpansberger se webtuiste ongeveer 14 000 besoekers met 28 000 bladsye wat gemiddeld per maand besoek word. Die afgelope jaar tot en met Woensdag het die Zoutpansberger se webblad 164 411 besoekers gehad met ‘n totaal van 334 251 bladsye wat besoek is.

Dit moet darem bygevoeg word dat die Zoutpansberger se webtuiste dikwels inhoud deel met die koerantgroep se ander twee domeine, naamlik www.zoutnet.co.za en www.limpopomirror.co.za. Die domein, www.zoutnet.co.za is ‘n gekombineerde webtuiste vir die Zoutpansberger en Limpopo Mirror. Dié webtuiste het tot en met Woensdag 451 258 besoekers die afgelope jaar gehad met 867 562 bladsye wat besoek is. Dit kom neer op sowat 38 000 besoekers per maand en 73 000 bladsye wat per maand besoek word.

Die Limpopo Mirror se webtuiste is by verre die mees gewilde vanweë haar groot leserstal gemeet teenoor die Zoutpansberger se relatief klein lesersarea. Tot en met Woensdag het die Limpopo Mirror 779 304 besoekers gehad met net oor die 2,3 miljoen bladsye wat besoek is. Dit kom neer op ‘n gemiddeld van sowat 65 000 besoekers per maand met sowat 195 000 bladsye wat per maand besoek word.

Nog ‘n brokkie interessante inligting is dat die Zoutpansberger se webtuiste-statistiek toon dat net oor die 58% van die besoekers mans is. Sowat

77% van besoekers het die webtuiste vanaf hulle selfone besoek met net oor die 20% wat dit vanaf hul rekenaars besoek het.

Wat ouderdom betref was 23,64% van besoekers oor die ouderdom van 65 jaar, gevolg deur besoekers tussen 25 en 34 jaar (20,73%). Lesers tussen 55 en 64 jaar het 18,45% van die besoeke opgemaak met lesers tussen 45 en 54 jaar (16,68%) en 35 en 44 (16,52%) in die vierde en vyfde plek.

Rugbyliefhebbers kan begin gereed maak om vroeg volgende jaar skouers te skuur met die legendariese oud-Springbokslot Bakkies Botha. Belangstellendes kan ook as borge betrokke raak.

Botha sal as eregas en motiveringspreker optree tydens Laerskool Louis Trichardt se rugbydag op 15 Februarie 2020. Die dag sal voorafgegaan word deur ‘n afrigtingskliniek die vorige dag. Afgesien van die rugbydag sal daar die Saterdag ook netbal wees.

“Die dag gaan ‘n baie feestelike en informele atmosfeer hê. Vure gaan knetter en Bakkies gaan sy eie boerewors-reeks ook bemark,” sê die skool.

Die dag sal as fondsinsameling dien vir die skool vir onder meer beligting by die skool se sportvelde. Almal se ondersteuning sal derhalwe baie waardeer word, veral wat borgskappe betref. Borgskappe beloop R3 000 (brons), R3 500 (silwer), R4 000 (goud) en R5 000 of meer (gratis advertensie vir een jaar by Bergvliet in Douthwaitstraat). “As borg kan u na hartelus bemarkingsmateriaal op die veld opslaan,” het die skool gesê. ‘n Eksklusiewe veiling sal ook die dag aangebied word, waar verskeie items van SA Rugby opgeveil sal word. Daar sal ook gelukkige trekkings wees.

Kaartjies vir Botha se praatjie kos R120 per volwassene, R80 vir hoërskoolleerlinge en R50 vir laerskoolleerlinge. Die koste van die kaartjie sluit ‘n ligte ete in en is beskikbaar

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 20 DESEMBER 2019

Spend wisely this festive season Spending tips Many consumers complain that January is a long month, but like many other months, January also has 31 days. “What makes it longer, though, is how you spend your money during the festive season, says Adv Kedilatile Legodi, acting manager of education and communication at the National Credit Regulator (NCR).

The NCR issued a press release last week reminding consumers that some will receive their December salaries earlier than usual and others will be receiving bonuses. “Often times, bonuses

present a great temptation to buy more, however, consumers are strongly encouraged to draft a budget to ensure that they spend what they have.

Consumers are further encouraged to get into a habit of allocating a portion of their budget to savings,” said Legodi.

According to Legodi, consumers must remember that the salary paid in December is the same income that has to cater for January expenses such as school fees, school uniforms, food, transport and others. “Failure to consider January expenses before spending during the festive season will indeed make January feel longer and

Terwyl die res van Laerskool Messina se leerlinge gereed gemaak het om die vakansie te geniet, het die skool se nuwe prefekte op die bus geklim vir ‘n spanbou en voorbereidings­ kamp by African Extreme Safaris. Daar is beplan, gespeel en selfs ‘n kleilatgeveg gehou.

financially stressful,” added Legodi.

Legodi warned that reckless spending over the festive season without due consideration of January, which is just a few weeks away, may lead some consumers directly into the trap of unregistered credit providers informally referred to by many as “Abomashonisa”. “Desperation to borrow money in order to cope with January expenses will make you a target of unregistered credit providers who would usually advertise using phrases such as ‘Blacklisted consumers welcome’, ‘cheap credit’ and often require you to pay a fee before they pay out the alleged approved loan,” said Legodi.

Unregistered credit providers, added Legodi, usually charge excessive interest rates and fees that are not in line with the National Credit Act. They also use unlawful tactics to collect on their debt such as retaining consumers’ identity documents, bank cards and pin numbers, SASSA cards and others. “Consumers are advised to only use NCR-registered credit providers and report those that retain their instruments such as bank cards to the NCR”, advised Legodi. He added that consumers should also remember that credit is expensive as it includes interest, monthly service fees, once-off initiation fees, etc. “Spending wisely during the festive season, will alleviate the need for consumers to borrow money in January,” concluded Legodi.

Below are a few tips for the festive season: * Plan and draw up a list of your needs; * Set a realistic budget for what is on the list; * Prioritise your home loan, rent and school fees. Where possible, pay more; * Buy school uniforms and stationery now when you have money; * Start saving for next year’s projects such as holidays, renovations, studying, retail sales/specials and do not rely on credit for this; and * If you are battling with your debts, contact a registered debt counsellor for assistance.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:14, 17.

J

esus Christ is the Son of God. He is his only begotten Son. Others are begotten of God, but no other was ever begotten of God as Christ was, when He came into this world, the glory that was about Him was ‘a glory of the only begotten’.

A very singular, very special and incommunicable glory abides in the person of our Lord. Part of this was the glory of his grace.

In the Old Testament, in Exodus 34:6, you notice that the glory of God lay in his being ‘The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth’. The glory ‘of the only begotten of the Father’ must lie in the same things as the glory of the Father, namely, in longsuffering, goodness and truth. In Christ there is a wonderful display of gentleness, patience, pity, mercy and love of God. Not merely did He teach the grace of God and invite us to the grace of God, but in Himself He displayed the grace of God. This is to be seen in his incarnation. This is a wonderful instance of divine grace that the Word should be made flesh, dwell among us and reveal his glory to us. Apart from anything that springs out of the incarnation of Christ, that incarnation itself is a wondrous act of grace.

There must be hope for men now that man is family of God through Jesus Christ.

The angels were not mistaken when they not only sang, ‘Glory to God in the highest,’ but also, ‘on earth peace, goodwill toward men’, because in Bethlehem the Son of God was born of a virgin. God in our nature must mean God with gracious thoughts towards us. There is fulness of grace in the fact of the Word made flesh living among us.

May this Christmas be a wonderful Christfeast to you and your family.

Reiswenke vir “nuwe” bestuurders Reiswenke Vir baie inwoners is Desember ook vakansietyd, wat ‘n reis na die kus of ander vakansiebestemming behels. Op so ‘n reis kan enige iets egter gebeur en dit is beter om goed voorbereid te wees. Dit beteken ook dat jy moet weet wat om te doen in ‘n noodgeval en vooraf seker moet maak dat byvoorbeeld die spaarwiel opgepomp is en die toerusting daar is om dit te kan vervang.

Verbasend baie “nuwe” bestuurders weet nie hoe om ‘n motor se band te vervang nie. Vir dié klompie “nuwelinge” het ons ‘n klompie handige

wenke saamgestel.

1. Die eerste stap is natuurlik om die motor op ‘n veilige plek tot stilstand te bring. Al moet jy vir ‘n klompie meter op ‘n kermende wielvelling ry, doen dit eerder as om te stop waar jou lewe in gevaar gestel word op die rand van ‘n padoppervlakte. Probeer sover moontlik op ‘n gelyk oppervlakte stop, ver genoeg weg van die verkeer.

2. Maak seker dat die motor se handrem styf vasgetrek is. Terwyl die band geruil word, moet die passasiers liefs buite die motor wag, weg van die verkeer.

3. Haal die spaarband en die toerusting soos die domkrag en wielsleutel uit. Gewoonlik is

Local cyclists spread some Christmas cheer last Friday when they took to the streets as part of the Soutpansberg Cycling Club’s annual Jingle Bell Toy Ride in Louis Trichardt. The “entry fee” for this popular event is a soft toy, which will later be donated to less fortunate children to be handed out over Christmas. Another condition for participation was that cyclists decorate their bikes with Christmas lights, hence the show of colour residents saw riding through the streets. Photos supplied.

In die ou dae het sommige motorvervaardigers dit soveel makliker gemaak om ‘n pap wiel te ruil. Een van hierdie maklike voertuie was hierdie 1957 BMW Isetta 300. As julle twee was en die een was sterk genoeg, kon mens amper die karretjie met die hand optel en die wiel ruil.

Afgeneem is Elardus van Zyl besig om eerder die domkrag te gebruik.

(jack) onder die voertuig naby aan die wiel wat vervang moet word. Dit is belangrik om die motorvervaardiger se aanwysings hier te volg. In baie gevalle is daar merke soos ‘n pyltjie op die bakwerk wat aandui waar die domkrag geplaas kan word.

7. Lig die motor totdat die wiel sowat 10 tot 15 cm van die grond af is. Die wielmoere of -boute kan nou verwyder word en die band kan afgehaal word. Plaas die band plat op die grond.

8. Haal die spaarwiel uit en posisioneer dit regoor die gate vir die boute of skuif dit oor die wielboute.

9. Maak die wielmoere of -boute vas en voel of daar speling is deur die wiel baie liggies te probeer wikkel.

10. As die wiel vas is, laat sak die motor. Gebruik die wielsleutel en maak die wielmoere en -boute stewig vas terwyl die motor op die grond staan.

11. Heelwat van die moderne motors het net ‘n noodband (biscuit) en dié tipe bande het ‘n beperking op die spoed en afstand wat gery kan word. Maak dus seker dat jy die instruksies volg en die band so vinnig as moontlik weer vervang met ‘n gewone band.

dit in die kattebak, aan die onderkant van die bagasieruim.

4. Maak seker dat die motor se wiele sover moontlik reguit na voor wys. Die motorvervaardigers het gewoonlik een of meer blokkies wat agter die bande geplaas word om te voorkom dat die motor agtertoe beweeg. Gebruik hierdie blokkies en sit dit agter die teenoorgestelde wiel, dit wil sê as die wiel regs voor vervang moet word, plaas dit agter die linker agterwiel.

5. Indien die motor wieldoppe het, haal die beskadigde band se wieldop eers af. Die wieldoppe is handig om die wielmoere of -boute in te sit, sodat dit nie vol grond word nie. Terwyl die motor nog op die grond is, is dit raadsaam om die wielsleutel te gebruik en die wielmoere of -boute los te maak (maar nie uit te draai nie).

Om die moere los te draai moet die sleutel antikloksgewys gedraai word (righty tightie … leftie loosie).

6. Posisioneer die voertuig se domkrag
