More heads to roll?

Vukela as more and more questions were being Committee on Public Works and Infrastructure DPWI’s acting director-general, Imtiaz Fazel. asked about the border project. Then, in August, on Tuesday this week.

Regarding the above, Fazel recommended More heads are set to roll as investigations came the release of a report on the investigation “A further assessment using market-related criminal charges against the perpetrators. “It into the controversial Beit Bridge border into the project. The report highlighted several prices for materials actually used on site and is also recommended that the department fence tender fiasco unearths more and more alleged procurement and other irregularities, revised fees for engineering services provides should register a criminal case of fraud against irregularities, and in this regard the old to such an extent that the report recommended for a total project cost of R23 388 023.97.

Nothing came of these good intentions, however.

From the onset, the newly built R37 million fence was marred by controversy. What soon became apparent was that the fence was of extremely poor quality, with literally everybody poking holes in it, even before it was completed.

In June, the issue of the Beit Bridge security fence was fiercely debated in Parliament.

The then director-general of the DPWI, Sam Vukela, told Parliament that his department was satisfied that the fence was serving its purpose.

His statements contradicted those of his minister, Patricia de Lille, who previously told the same parliamentary committee that they were receiving daily reports of vandalism and theft at the fence. De Lille also said that her department had been advised by its internal anti-corruption unit not to pay any more money to the contractor, but to wait until the investigations had been completed. She said that only R21 million of the R37 million had been paid over to the contractor. De Lille told members of parliament that the auditor-general had been asked to investigate the project. One of the issues raised by members of parliament was why a contract had been awarded to a company that had seemingly failed to deliver a proper service before. The question was also asked whether the department had received the full value of the R37 million awarded.

Murals help to enhance Ridgeway’s Early Childhood Development Centre School News The Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre at Ridgeway College in Louis Trichardt received an upgrade in the form of some stunning murals last week.

“Given that it is a brandnew building, it was already a light, airy space, but it lacked sparkle. Thanks to the drive and motivation of the ECD staff and the Ridgeway Preparatory School head, Mr Jannie le Roux, we now have age-appropriate murals

that enhance the space,” said Ridgeway’s executive head, Ms Dionne Redfern.

Redfern said that the value of an ECD centre could not be underestimated. She said that experts considered the foundation phase as laying the building blocks for the rest of a child’s schooling, and indeed they did. Engaging in the seemingly trivial tasks of playing, drawing, colouring, cutting, and painting, one could undervalue how critical these skills are. Redfern asserted that “a competent

teacher will spot immediately if there are fine motor co-ordination skills that are lacking, if a pencil grip is poor, if there are depth-perception issues, low muscle tone, problems crossing the mid-line or underlying eyesight or hearing impediments. The longer such barriers are left, the harder they are to resolve. Nipping them in the bud and providing the right interventions and support are imperative or these issues are magnified in later years.”

A proper ECD offers more than that, however. “There is a delightful innocence and creativity in these little people,” said Redfern, “and the murals reminded me of the pivotal role that art plays in the development of our pupils. We talk about the need for 21st -century learners to be adaptable, flexible and creative, and yet so many schools cancel the very subject that fosters creativity, helps with visual learning and gives an outlet for the expression of emotion.”

Art, said Redfern, is another language and sometimes, when words fail us, art speaks for us. “The scribblings of a Grade RR class, in a few short years, translate to greater skill and perhaps a genuine talent being discovered. That talent might lead to a career as an artist or graphic designer or photographer or architect … who knows!” said Redfern.

In conclusion, Mketeni said this period in time had called on every person to make individual and collective sacrifices in minimising the risk of the spread of Covid-19. He urged guests to the national parks to appreciate that the regulations and SANParks’ own protocols, as inconvenient as they might seem, were geared towards a greater and common good.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 21 AUGUSTUS 2020

I am ... the Way, the Truth and the Life “I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.” Psalm 71:16.

B

ear testimony to the righteousness of God. Stand to it that the Lord never does wrong. He is never mistaken, whatever He ordains is and must be unquestionably right. Bear witness to His righteousness in salvation, that He does not save without an atonement, that He does not put away sin without being strictly just, that He does by no means spare the guilty, but has laid on Christ that which was due to human sin, “that He might be just, and the justified of him which believes”. Go and tell everybody that the righteousness which saves you is the righteousness of God, not your own righteousness. Any righteousness that you could gain by your own works would be “filthy rags”. We have no personal merit but are justified by imputed righteousness.

Declare that whatever Scripture speaks of the ungodly is true and that God is righteous in it. You may rest assured that time shall never change the essential truth that He is a holy and righteous God and will justify his ways to men.

God’s righteousness benefits those who are righteous in Christ. He knows their way (Psalm 1:6), blesses them (Psalm 5:12), upholds them (Psalm 37:17) and loves them (Psalm 146:8)). He is the “righteous Father” (John 17:225) who will reward them as “the righteous judge” (2 Timothy 4:8). Are you one of them?

in Paul se versameling is ‘n nege-silinder radial enjin, soortgelyk aan die enjins wat in die Harvard-vegvliegtuig van die Tweede Wêreldoorlog voorgekom het. Sy enjin is egter ‘n Continental enjin afkomstig uit ‘n Sherman tenk, ook uit die Tweede Wêreldoorlog. Hy het die enjin ten volle gerestoureer gekoop by ‘n mede-versamelaar van Pretoria, wat weens sy ouderdom begin afskaal het.

Paul se passie is egter nie net enjins nie. Hy versamel alle oudhede, van roomafskeiers tot ou trekkers. Tans het hy vyf trekkers in sy versame­ ling. Die enigste vereiste is dat die items van voor 1960 moet wees. “As mense oudhede het waaroor hulle onseker is of meer wil uitvind daaroor, neem ‘n foto en stuur dit vir my. Ek sal graag van hulp wil wees,” het Paul gesê. Hy kan geskakel word by 084 070 3743. Paul het bygevoeg dat, weens wye belangstelling, hulle oorweeg om weer so ‘n engine start-up dag te hou, miskien in die nuwe jaar.

According to Chris Harmse, also a member of the farming community, farm murders in South Africa are out of control. As a farming

community, he said, they were striving to create an awareness of such crimes, especially in the rural farming areas. Harmse called for the law system to take its course, so that the guilty could be sentenced.

Farmers from all over Limpopo Province protested outside the Morebeng Magistrate’s Court last Friday against the granting of bail to the suspects accused of attacking the Joubert couple from Legkraal on 5 August.

SERVICES: ANTENATAL CARE POSTNATAL CARE BABY WELLNESS AND IMMUNISATIONS Since the abrupt closure of the Leeu- and Impala Street junctions in Louis Trichardt with the R524 (Levubu road) in anticipation of the opening of the Makhado Crossing shopping mall in November last year, local motorists rebelled by starting to use the whole of the road between the N1 and the new traffic circle on the R524 as a “slipway” onto Hlanganani Street into Extension 9. It would seem that the authorities decided to put an end to this “lawlessness” by starting to erect a barrier between the R525 and Hlanganani Street from the N1 eastwards. Judging by some motorists’ comments, not everybody supports this action, claiming that there was no need to close off Leeu- and Impala Street in the first place. Many argue that this was merely done to channel traffic into the shopping mall.

Dis-Chem Pharmacy finally opens at Makhado Crossing Good news for Louis Trichardt shoppers is that the long-awaited Dis-Chem Pharmacy finally opened in the Makhado Crossing shopping mall last Thursday. At that stage, store manager Ms Camilla de Waal indicated that customers would, however, have to wait a bit longer for the pharmacy section to open as the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions had caused a delay in the issuing of their pharmacy license. De Waal expressed the hope that they would received their licence this week. The store will be open Mondays to Fridays from 09:00 to 18:00, from 09:00 to 15:00 on Saturdays and from 09:00 to 13:00 on Sundays.

ISABILITY GOLF DAY Local golfers are in-

vited to support the IsAbility Golf Day on 12 September.

IsAbility is a sports club that supports development of differently abled athletes, as well as able-bodied athletes. Funds raised at the 2020 golf day are to be used for their project Fit-to-Fly to provide standing and sitting frames to mobility-impaired patients locally.

The competition is in the format of a four-ball-alliance scramble drive, with two scores to count, and the entry fee is R1 600 per team. The competition will take place at the Soutpansberg Golf Club and the entry fee includes green fees, lunch, dinner, and a welcome gift for players.

How well has South Africa done at reducing Covid deaths?

By Nathan Geffen and Alex Welte (GroundUp) Eight months into the Covid-19-19 pandemic, how well has South Africa done at limiting infections, and how big a deal is the pandemic anyway? To answer that, we need to think about how the data actually works and doesn’t work.

We are not 5th worst Dashboards such as Bing and Worldometer report that South Africa has the fifth-highest number of infections globally. By the measure of deaths per million people, which more directly expresses how dangerous it is to live somewhere, we are ranked 31st - so nowhere near the podium. Both of these rankings, however, require a pinch of salt. Many countries almost certainly have more infections — see the grey box to the right.

South Africa has performed more tests than most (16th place, as far as we can tell) and we track births and deaths about as well as some developed countries. These two factors, of which we can be proud, unfortunately also make us look worse than many countries that have little capacity to test for Covid-19-19, or to count deaths.

How many Covid-19 deaths?

Officially, we have had about 12,000 “confirmed” Covid-19 deaths. However, the Medical Research Council (MRC) reports that 27,500 more deaths (from all causes) occurred between 6 May and 4 August than we have seen in that time window in recent years. That number is probably a conservative estimate of the true Covid-19 death toll. Here is why: Firstly: The number of confirmed Covid-19 deaths only started increasing dramatically in June and is now on the decline. This aligns impressively with the MRC mortality trends.

‘Collateral’ deaths - non-Covid-19 deaths brought on by generally reduced access to health care would be expected to follow the severity of the lockdown, which has been slowly tapering off because of the relaxation of rules and fatigue.

Secondly: Because of the lockdown, deaths from “unnatural” causes (particularly homicides and accidents) have dropped dramatically, even as the general total has gone up.

Thirdly: Deaths from other infectious diseases that we usually see at this time of the year have also dropped dramatically. No significant flu season has been experienced. In children, very few Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections and other respiratory tract infections that usually cause deaths during winter, and less TB than usual, have occurred.

Fourthly: Taking into account the previous two points, the MRC produced a best estimate of excess “natural” deaths over the same period and that estimate runs to 33,500.

Fifthly: The death-count gap, comparing the officially confirmed Covid-19 deaths and the total excess deaths, displays a sharp provincial pattern. In the Western Cape, the official Covid-19 death toll is about 70% of the MRC’s excess-death estimate. Next is Gauteng, where official Covid-19 deaths are a mere 24% of the estimate’s excess deaths. In four provinces, the official Covid-19 death toll is just one 10th of the excess deaths. This is what we would expect if the excess deaths were mainly direct Covid-19 deaths, but provincial data-collection systems are not equally effective at picking them up. To believe that a Covid-19 death in all provinces is roughly equally likely to be recorded as such would leave us with a strange and unexplained distribution of “collateral” deaths.

Some of the excess deaths are presumably not of the Covid-19 disease, but the result of diffi-

culties accessing health care, owing to lockdown restrictions, fear of going to a clinic, or over-burdened health systems. Given the preceding points, these are likely to be a relatively small part of the excess deaths.

How many Covid-19 deaths will occur?

Reliable long-term disease-death predictions are simply not available. Nevertheless, what seems safe to say is that, by the end of September, more than 40,000 actual Covid-19 deaths will have occurred, though these will not be reflected in the official count.

The epidemic is in decline but is far from over, and it could surge again if the lockdown relaxes and if we collectively drop our guard in terms of physical distancing, face masks and hand hygiene - that is what is currently happening in many countries.

How bad is it?

In South Africa, annual deaths have been declining since 2006, mainly thanks to antiretroviral treatment for HIV, and progress against TB. About 50,000 unnatural deaths occur annually, but barring an outbreak of extreme violence, these will be far fewer this year.

About 450,000 deaths were recorded in 2017, the latest year for which official numbers are available. Covid-19 will increase our death toll this year by 10% or more, which is huge.

How do Covid-19 deaths compare to AIDS and TB? TB is the most frequently recorded cause of death in South Africa, and fewer than 30,000 such deaths were recorded in 2017 - fewer than any serious estimate of Covid-19 deaths in 2020.

Even though the real TB number is likely to be significantly higher, as a result of how death certificates get filled in, we can reasonably expect more Covid-19 deaths this year than TB deaths.

South Africa’s most informative AIDS model (Thembisa) estimated that 63,000 AIDS deaths would occur this year. That was before we had social distancing and all the anti-Covid-19 measures that have reduced transmission of respiratory infections - a major immediate cause of death for people living with HIV. But taking a longer-term view, Covid-19 in South Africa does not even come close to the HIV epidemic. In 2006, about 300,000 people died of AIDS here, almost 6,000 people per week, sustained throughout the year. At the height of the just-passed Covid-19 peak, things were about as bad - more than 6,000 excess natural deaths in the week of 15 July. Because many people become very sick from Covid-19 and recover with oxygen support, some hospitals were hit harder by it for a few weeks than they were ever hit by HIV.

How bad could it have been?

The measures taken since 16 March have clearly saved lives. Lockdowns work. China, where measures were highly enforced, and testing was pushed as hard as possible, had a tiny first peak, compared to European countries.

We know it worked here because we see the reduction in other infectious diseases. Perhaps the lack of international traffic helped prevent the flu season, but this does not explain the drop in other infections in children, which do not depend on international travellers.

The restrictions on inter-provincial travel, coupled with masks, physical distancing, hand hygiene, and a massive reduction in public events and large gatherings have likely played their part.

Had we continued life more or less as normal after 16 March, what would have happened?

Producing credible, hard numbers is nearly impossible, but our guess is that several times as many deaths have been prevented; we have probably avoided a devastating flood of deaths.

Yes, planning for a surge in cases, in some provinces, was abysmal. The ban on cigarettes made no sense; nor did the restrictions on exercise hours. Over-zealous restrictions on workplace activity have left the economy reeling, but a comparison of other countries (including Sweden) shows that epidemics can easily stall economies even if one does not explicitly decree a halt to most activities. Stealing protective equipment contracts, and other opportunistic corruption, is

indeed abominable. Despite all this, things could easily have been so much worse. The government has not done too badly in its stated main aim: to reduce Covid-19 deaths.

Alex Welte is Research Professor at, and the former Director of, the South African (National Government) Department of Science and Innovation - National Research Foundation (DSI-NRF) Centre of Excellence for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (aka SACEMA), at Stellenbosch University.

Explainer: Official death tolls globally fall short Worldometer says 777,076 people have died of Covid-19 as of 17 August. Except for clerical errors and some minor technical exceptions, every single one of those deaths links back to a specific person, certified by a health-care worker as having probably died of the disease. (Bing and the WHO also tally the daily deaths, with slight differences.)

This is an astonishing accomplishment, and a first in history. Yes, there have been gimmicky daily counters of global AIDS and other disease deaths on some websites, but these are, at best, rough estimates, based on sparse direct data, spread thin by mathematical models.

Yet far more people have died of Covid-19 than have been recorded on the global dashboards. Several reasons exist for why people who die of the disease do not get counted in the official stats. Many people die at home or in care institutions, without being diagnosed.

Even if they have been tested, their results often come back long after a doctor has filled in the death certificate, and PCR tests miss many positive cases.

The New York Times (among others) tracks “missing deaths” in 28 locations. This is estimated by subtracting the excess deaths in the location from the official Covid-19 death toll.

As of 31 July, some 161,000 missing deaths occurred in these locations. This means that, in about eight months, at least 919,000 people have died of Covid-19 (i.e. adding specifically counted deaths from WHO, Worldometer, Bing, etc to the missing deaths). Some of these excess deaths may be because of health systems’ being overrun or people being too scared to go near health facilities, but they are nevertheless deaths as a result of the pandemic.

But in fact, the real death toll is much greater than this. Those 28 locations being tracked by the Times do not even account for half the world’s population. Missing are China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, most of Russia, most of Indonesia, all of Africa (except South Africa), and many other places. The places where excess deaths are being counted are generally those with the best systems for keeping vital statistics and counting Covid-19

deaths directly.

Although current data collection systems are far better than ever before, we really do not know the total number of Covid-19 deaths.

The number is definitely more than a million; it could well be more than two million already, and even three million is not implausible.

About 60 million people annually die worldwide. So, the Covid-19 death toll, a brand-new way of dying on top of all the other ways we die, is a significant extra few percent, even using the minimum possible estimate. Also important is to account for the ages at which people die, and while Covid-19 fatality is highest among older people, that is true of death generally, and Covid-19 is certainly striking down many otherwise healthy people who had reasonable expectations of living many more years.

This lack of certainty is not new; we should treat all estimates of disease tolls with caution.

Although the estimate is that 50 million people died in the Spanish-flu pandemic of 1918-19, this is just intelligent guessing; the number could be wildly wrong.

However, we can say some things with great confidence.

This is unequivocally the worst short-duration pandemic since 1919. In bad years, standard seasonal flu kills no more than 650,000 people globally, but usually far fewer than that (about 400k). The 1957 and 1968 flu pandemics were exceptional, killing about a million people (estimates, not known for sure).

What is more, most countries in the world, and most people, have taken exceptional measures to avoid contracting Covid-19. Things would be much, much worse had we carried on as people had in 1957 and 1968; perhaps as bad as the Spanish flu, which is estimated to be the worst pandemic in history in terms of total number of people killed - though far from the worst in terms of the proportion of the total human population.

Compared to the slow-acting infectious pandemics, such as AIDS and TB, Covid-19 will kill more than both those diseases this year, but, cumulatively, HIV and TB have been far worse.

magistrate and Native Commissioner in the Rustenburg district.

He later also became chief magistrate for Pretoria.

According to one of his grandsons, Nick Stubbs, his grandfather was a very active member of the Soutpansberg community.

Among others, he was a founding member of the local Masonic Lodge and served as master from 1920 to 1922. Initially, the freemasons held meetings in the old school house, but Stubbs pushed for the construction of the first Masonic building.

During his stay in Louis Trichardt, Ernest Stubbs bought the farm Wansbeck near Bandelierkop.

The farm was named after a river in England in the area where the Stubbs family came from. He was never a farmer himself, but the farm allowed him to keep horses, which he loved. He was a keen horseman and enthusiastic polo player. Nick recalls how his grandfa-

watching over that part of the town. Stubbs was held in high esteem by the government of the day and, among others, he was friends with the then Prime Minister, Jan Smuts. In a letter (see photo) dated 12 July 1922, which is still in the family’s possession, Smuts thanks him for his contribution when His Royal Highness visited the northern Transvaal. It is not stated who the visitor was, but it may have been the Prince of Wales, Edward VIII. “… His Royal Highness thoroughly enjoyed himself, saw all that he wanted and had a good holiday, and this was largely thanks to what you arranged,” writes Smuts.

In 1929, Stubbs was appointed as Chief Justice of the Native Appeal Court in Bloemfontein. As judge he left an important legacy, especially as far as African Customary Law is concerned. In legal circles he is still often quoted, especially his words in 1929 when he argued for “a system of judicature … embodying a simple, convenient form of procedure, stripped of legal niceties and technicalities, designed to meet the needs of the situation … designed to suit the psychology of the native”.

Stubbs envisioned a legal system designed to suit the ‘psychology’ of the African, recreating as closely as possible the atmosphere of the tribal court to which Africans had been accustomed to when submitting Ernest Thomas serving as senator in the Parliament as member of the Dominicum Party. their disputes.

It also had to offer an affordable forum to settle tribal disputes.

Stubbs had a stint in politics and he served in parliament as senator for the Dominion Party.

The Dominion Party was established in October 1934 by dissatisfied members of the South African Party (SAP). The SAP at that stage had fused with the National Party to form the United National South African Party. The Dominion Party wanted to preserve the “British connection” and particularly Natal’s distinct British culture. Stubbs was elected to the Senate in 1939.

When the Second World War broke out, Stubbs was once again called up to do duty for his country. During this war, he served as director in the Non-European Army Services. He later received the Grant of Dignity as a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

In a letter written to him by the Minister of Defence, Genl Jan Smuts, he is lauded for his service.

“You volunteered for military service: you made the sacrifice for South Africa and for the wider cause of world freedom,” Smuts writes.

From later writings and tributes, it is clear that Stubbs commanded a lot of respect from the troops under him. “It is not so much the knowledge of the African customs, languages, and modes of living that established his avowed leadership; it is the manner in which the man has endeared himself to his followers.

It is his love of the people he leads,” writes a certain Ngwenyobomwu. This tribute forms part of the collection of documents

held at the Historical Papers Research Archive at the University of the Witwatersrand.

According to his grandson Nick, Ernest Stubbs was well respected for his know­ledge of native affairs. He spoke six or seven of the black languages but, ironically enough, not Tshivenda. During his life he wrote a lot on race relations. One of his essays was titled: “Tightening Coils. An essay on segregation.”

In 1948 Stubbs resigned from the Dominion Party because of its anti-native policies. After leaving Parliament, he came back to Louis Trichardt to spend his last years here. He stayed in Louis Botha Avenue - the same house where Dr Klopper, the dentist, later stayed.

Stubbs passed away in 1959, was cremated and his ashes went to his beloved farm, Wansbeck.

Ernest and Alice Stubbs had three children: Marjorie, Jerome and Bertram. Jerome Stubbs inherited the farm after his father’s death and he continued farming there.

When he died in 1963, only a few years later, the farm went to his eldest son, Jonathan. Jonathan died in 2013 and the farm was then inherited by his brother, Nick.

The farm Wansbeck, interestingly enough, needs to be owned by at least four family members before it can be sold to strangers. In the original title deed it was specified that it is “entailed” property with the conditions set. The farm has been in the Stubbs family for more than 100 years.

When Ernest Stubbs died in January 1959, he carried the title The Honourable Brigadier Ernest Thomas Stubbs – OBE. The OBE is a reference to the Order of the British Empire that was bestowed upon him as an officer in the armed forces. King George V created these honours during World War I to reward services to the war effort by civilians at home and servicemen in support positions.

Readers with information on the streets not yet covered in the series must please contact Anton at anton@zoutnet.co.za or Pétria at petria@ devaalanddevaal.co. za. We are especially interested in old photos and stories about the people whose names appear on the street corner poles.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

In ‘n berig op die voorblad van 25 Augustus 1995 word vrae gevra oor die rol van die destydse Tshikota Ontwikkelingstrust.

Inwoners het hul ontevredenheid uit­ gespreek oor die wyse waarop die geld in die trust “vermors” word en niks gedoen word om die lewensomstandighede van mense in Tshikota te verbeter nie. Sowat R60 000 is deur ‘n Amerikaanse maatskappy aan die trust geskenk. Blykbaar het die projekleier in daardie stadium, mnr. Eccles Matodzi, ‘n stewige maandelikse salaris ver­ dien, asook die sekretaresse in goed toegeruste kantore, sonder dat enige werk blykbaar ooit verrig is. Matodzi was in daardie stadium ook die onder­ burgemeester van die dorp. Hy het by navraag gesê die trust is gestig om te help om behuisingsprojekte van die grond af te kry.

In die ander voorbladberig was die fokus ook op behuising, maar dié keer vir Louis Trichardt se straat­ kinders. Bekende plaaslike sakeman mnr. Solly Noor het in die berig be­ sonderhede verskaf van sy beplande kinderhuis in die ou drosdy (die ou magistraatshuis oorkant die magi­ straatskantore in Munnikstraat).

Hy het die huis en perseel vir R420000 gekoop. Die huis sou bekend staan as die Hawama Noor Child Care Centre. Die sentrum is vernoem na Solly se dogter, wat in 1993 in ‘n motorongeluk oorlede is.

In ander nuus het die Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad

waterbeperkings ingestel, nadat die vlak van die Albasinidam tot onder 9% gedaal het. ‘n Boete van R2 per kiloliter sou per huis gehef word indien die waterverbruik 40 kiloliter oorskry het. Vyf­en­twintig jaar later het die vlak van die Albasinidam hierdie week op net meer as 70% gestaan. Alhoewel daar baie water in die dam is, sukkel inwoners van Louis Trichardt deurlopend met droë krane weens kroniese probleme wat telkens weens ‘n verouderde setsel voorkom, soos gebarste pype.

Geliefde suster groet Mediese Sentrum ná 22 jaar Nuus uit Musina Die Mediese Sentrum in Musina het op Donderdag, 30 Julie, op feestelik wyse afskeid geneem van suster Martie Rossouw (72) wat die praktyk ná 22 se diens verlaat om met welverdiende pensioen te gaan.

Verpleging was haar roeping van vroeg in haar lewe af, vertel Martie. Sy het reeds in 1966, in Standerd 8 in Hoërskool Gimnasium in Potchefstroom, een dag tydens saalopening ‘n baie duidelike bevestiging hiervan gekry toe die boodskap verwys het na Jesus se woorde in Markus 10:45 dat Hy nie gekom het om gedien

Sterk wind vertraag duiwe se wegspring Duiwenuus Slegte windtoestande het die afgelope naweek die wegspring van die jaaroud- en opewedvlugte vanaf Theunissen vertraag, met die duiwe wat eers Sondag en nie Saterdag losgelaat is.

Die vertraging in die wegspring het ‘n goeie besluit geblyk te wees, want die wind het Sondag gedraai na ‘n suidwestewind wat die duiwe van die Hangklip (HPK) en Soutpansberg (SPB) Posduifklubs gehelp het om weer terug te kom in Limpopo vanwaar hulle ‘n matige noordweste­ wind ervaar het.

Mieke en Mike Coetzee (HPK) wen die jaaroudwedvlug, nadat hul wenduif die afstand van 680 km in ‘n tyd van 1389.76 meter per minuut voltooi. Hulle is ook 8ste. In totaal is 115 duiwe vir dié wedvlug losgelaat. Die res van die eerste twintig posisies is soos volg: RWJ & Mike Coet­ zee (HPK) 2de, 7de en 17de, Nico Bezuidenhout 3de, 9de en 14de, Gerhard Bezuidenhout (HPK) 4de, 10de en 19de, Marx Hokkie (SPB) 5de, TE Smit (HPK) 6de, 13de en 20ste, Louis Jordaan (HPK) 11de, 12de en 18de en Ben & Mariaan Pienaar 15de en 16de.

Dit was ‘n goeie naweek vir Mieke & Mike Coetzee, want hulle wen ook die opewedvlug nadat hulle wenduif die afstand voltooi met ‘n spoed van 1505.26 meter per minuut. Hulle is ook 3de.

In totaal is 126 duiwe vir dié wedvlug losgelaat.

Die res van die eerste 20 posisies is soos volg: RWJ & Mike Coetzee 2de, 4de, 11de en 12de, Nico Bezuidenhout 5de, 7de, 18de en 20ste, Ben & Mariaan Pienaar 6de en 19de, Julius Pienaar (HPK) 8ste en 16de, Gerhard Bezuidenhout 9de en 17de, Louis Jordaan 10de, Louis Gossmann (SPB) 13de, Johnny Gouws (SPB) 14de en TE Smit 15de.

Eerskomende naweek sal hierdie twee klubs in die noord-streek kragte meet vanaf Bloemhof, weer oor ‘n afstand van ongeveer 680 km. Wat die top drie posisies op die punteleer betref in die streekkampioenskap loop Mieke & Mike Coetzee voor met 1 156 punte, gevolg deur Nico Bezuidenhout in die tweede plek met 1 135 punte en RWJ & Mike Coetzee derde met 1 119 punte.
