This is what First Street resident Ms Adila Aboobaker’s lawn looked like after Saturday’s rugby matches at the Louis Trichardt Rugby Club. They suffer from the effects of severe dust pollution caused by the dirt access road to the rugby club. Photo supplied.

The dust pollution was especially bad after Saturday’s rugby matches as vehicles kicked up massive amounts of dust.

By Andries van Zyl & Elardus van Zyl

The dust is literally far from settled as anger grows among Eltivillas residents over the severe dust pollution caused by vehicles traveling on the access road to and from the newly built Louis Trichardt Rugby Club.

Eltivillas residents’ troubles started when the Louis Trichardt Rugby Club, among others, was relocated to a new site as part of expanding the Makhado Crossing shopping mall into a regional shopping mall. The construction work was undertaken by the mall’s developers, the Masingita Group of Companies.

Prior to relocating the rugby club to its present premises, the club’s entrance was along the R524 road (to Levubu).

The new entrance road now connects the rugby club, situated behind the show grounds, with First Avenue via a dirt road running parallel to First Street, literally right behind some residences.

Since the initial construction work started on the new mall, Eltivillas residents say, the Makhado Municipality has been turning a blind eye and deaf ear to their complaints. In December 2019, the Zoutpansberger followed up on residents’ complaints about the dust pollution in Eltivillas and sent through a list of questions to municipal spokesperson Louis Bobodi for comment. The newspaper, among other things, wanted to know who is responsible for the road (the municipality or the Masingi-

ta Group), whether no other suitable entrance road was available, such as the existing road through the show grounds or again via the R524, and whether the road would be temporary or made permanent by tarring it? To this day, Bobodi unfortunately has yet to respond to our media enquiry.

“We were told as residents that this road behind our homes was just a temporary measure, but nothing has been done. The road remains … We are being affected by the dust on a daily basis – our homes, our health our children’s health. Really! We are completely and thoroughly frustrated,” said First Street resident Ms Adila Aboobaker.

“We want to spend money on our homes, but every time we spend money it is worthless because within 24 hours it is covered in dust.”

These were the words of First Street resident Mr Ismail Ayob. This photo of outside furniture covered in dust was taken over the weekend. Photo supplied.

Two killed outside local liquor outlets

By Kaizer Nengovhela Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the death of a man who was stabbed outside a liquor outlet in Louis Trichardt.

Two people were murdered in separate incidents the past weekend in the Louis Trichardt area.

The body of a 52-year-old man from Tshiozwi was found next to a liquor outlet in Louis Trichardt early on Saturday morning. The same day, a Zimbabwean citizen was allegedly stabbed to death in Eltivillas.

Spokesperson for the Limpopo police Brig Motlafela Mojapelo said they were alerted early on Saturday morning that someone had died

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “...die Gees van die waarheid wat die wêreld nie kan ontvang nie, omdat dit Hom nie sien nie en Hom nie ken nie” Johannes 14:16,17.

T

oe die Here Jesus teenoor sy dissipels van Homself as die “weg, die waarheid en die lewe” gepraat het (Johannes 14 :6), het Hy hulle ‘n ander Trooster beloof om by hulle te bly en in hulle te wees, naamlik die Heilige Gees, die Gees van die waarheid (15:26; 16:13). Niemand kan die Heilige Gees as ‘n blywende, inwonende Trooster ken of ontvang, tensy hy Hom nie as “die Gees van die waarheid” eer en sy hart vir die waarheid oopstel nie.

Die teerheid en liefde van so ‘n Trooster wat omgee en kan help, mag jy nooit ver­ smaai nie. As Hy blywend by jou inwoon, sal Hy jou vertroos as Hy Jesus aan jou openbaar, jou regsaak verdedig, jou sy vrede meedeel en vir Jesus in jou verheerlik deur sy beeld in jou lewe vas te lê en te vorm (Johannes 16:13,14).

near the Skheberesh Café in Erasmus Street.

The police proceeded to the scene and found the lifeless body of a man, identified as Mr Fhetani Ramunenyiwa. He had deep stab wounds to his head. A murder docket was opened.

“The motive for the killing is unknown at this stage,” said Mojapelo. Two men, aged 41 and 28 years, were arrested on Tuesday in connection with the killing of Ramunenyiwa.

They were scheduled to appear in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 20 May. Mr Freddy Ramunenyiwa, the elder brother of the deceased, said that the family was still processing this tragedy. “We received a call from the police, who told us they had found the body of a man at a liquor outlet in Louis Trichardt. When we got there, we found that it was my brother, who had wounds to his head,” he said. “It was a terrible sight. We could not believe that it was him. We are very shocked, but we are not pointing fingers as we have faith in the police, and we believe that their investigations will reveal what had actually happened.”

Another man, Morris Taurai Gapare (41), was stabbed to death near the Vrugteman Liquor restaurant in Eltivillas. The man was allegedly stabbed after an argument had broken out between him and another man.

Gapare was stabbed several times in the head with a sharp object. Mojapelo said that the incident had occurred at about 19:30 on Saturday. He said that the investigators were still looking for the suspect, who is still at large.

Ramunenyiwa will be buried at the Tshiozwi cemetery on Friday, 21 May.

Eltivillas residents had enough of dust (Contd from p1) “Like Adila mentioned, this was only to be a temporary measure while the construction of the mall was taking place and they shifted the rugbylapa to the other side. It was only supposed to be a temporary road … We want to spend money on our homes, but every time we spend money, it is worthless because within 24 hours it is covered in dust,” added another First Street resident, Mr Ismail Ayob.

For Ayoub Qasim, the situation is a nightmare. “This road is very dusty. It affects my wife and my son, who are asthmatic. They are suffering with this daily and it’s costing me a lot of money to keep on buying medication for them … I hope the municipality either paves the road or closes the road, because we cannot tolerate this any longer,” said Ayob.

Also frustrated with the problem was Mr Areef Cassim. “Every day it is the same old story – the municipality not listening to us … Please, Makhado Municipality, do something. We can’t go on like this,” he said.

The same set of questions sent to the Makhado Municipality on 5 December 2019 was forwarded to them again on Monday. At the time of our going to press, Bobodi said that he had sent the questions to the relevant department and was awaiting their response. The questions were also sent to the Masingita Group of Companies, who undertook to respond once they had discussed the matter at management level.

Sekuriteitsbeamptes red gillende Musina vrou Deur Andries van Zyl ‘n Bekende plaaslike sekuriteitsfirma, DRS, het die afgelope week gewys dat mens nie noodwendige ‘n kliënt van hulle hoef te wees om gehelp te word nie.

Vanaf Musina word berig dat ‘n middeljarige vrou wat alleen bly in ‘n huis in Vierdelaan, Bergview, omstreeks 02:00 deur sowat vier mans in haar huis oorval is. “Hulle het na bewe­ ring ‘n pistool teen haar kop gedruk en gesê hulle wou geld hê. Die vrou het egter vir hulle gesê sy het nie geld nie. Een van die mans het toe gesê hulle moet haar skiet,” het mnr. Franco Hagglund, ‘n woordvoerder van DRS, gesê.

Met net die genade van Bo het die vrou se aanvallers se pistool blykbaar gestoor. Terselfdertyd het lede van DRS Musina by die vrou se woning opgedaag. Hulle het haar gille gehoor, nadat hulle uitgejaag het na ‘n kliënt van hulle wat nie ver van die vrou af woon nie. Die kliënt het sy paniekknoppie gedruk nadat dieselfde groep verdagtes minute vantevore blykbaar in sy erf was.

Met die aankoms van die sekuriteitsbeamptes op die toneel het hulle gesien dat die vrou se deur oopgeforseer is. Met dié het hulle by die huis ingekyk en terselfdertyd het die verdagtes hulle gewaar en die hasepad gekies, sonder om enige iets te vat.

Teen dagbreek het DRS inligting ontvang dat die verdagtes blykbaar in ‘n huis skuil in dieselfde straat, nie ver van waar hulle die vrou aangeval het nie. Die sekuriteitsbeamptes het omstreeks 10:00 inbeweeg en kon daarin slaag om twee verdagtes aan te keer. Die sekuriteitsbeamptes het behoorlik hulle hande vol gehad om die twee verdagtes van ‘n ontstoke publiek weg te hou. Blykbaar word die mans verdink van ‘n string ernstige geweldsmisdade in die area.

Volgens Hagglund is die polisie ontbied, wat op hulle beurt die twee mans in hegtenis geneem het. Teen druktyd kon nie bevestig word dat die mans steeds in aanhouding was en of hulle al in die hof verskyn het. Die polisie het wel ‘n saaknommer aan DRS gegee. DRS het intussen almal bedank wat by die arrestasie betrokke was en gehelp het om die twee verdagtes aan te keer.

Bobodi was contacted once more and asked if he was aware of this agreement, or whether he was sticking to his response that the Makhado Municipality was not responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the traffic lights in questions. Regarding this, Bobodi responded on Tuesday by saying: “As things stand

Voetgangers in gevaar in Stubbsstraat Voetgangerverkeer in Stubbsstraat tussen Krugerstraat en die N1 in Louis Trichardt, van mense wat tussen die taxi-staanplek by Shoprite en hulle werkplekke beweeg, het die afgelope paar weke dramaties toegeneem sedert die Makhado Munisipaliteit die park tussen Stubbs- en Songozwistraat langs die N1 toegespan het. Baie van hierdie mense het gebruik gemaak van die “kortpad” uit Ruhstraat oor die damwal, juis om die spitstydverkeer in Stubbsstraat te vermy. Hierdie kortpad is nou toe. Alhoewel ‘n veiligheidsreling in Stubbsstraat (links in boonste foto en regs in onderste foto) bestaan waar voetgangers veilig met Stubbsstraat langs kan stap, is die voetgangerroete totaal ontoeganklik en oorgroei deur maande se versuim om dit in stand te hou. Veral laatmiddag, met die son feitlik reg van voor vir mense wat in ‘n westelike rigting ry, vind motoriste dit bykans onmoontlik om voetgangers in die skaduwees van die bome aangrensend tot Stubbsstraat te sien. Hierdie uiters gevaarlike situasie kan moontlik noodlottige gevolge inhou as die voetgangerroete nie spoedig skoongemaak word nie.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, was die plaaslike Misdaadondersoekdiens optimisties dat hulle kort daarna arrestasies sou maak ten opsigte van ‘n sindikaat wat by voertuie inbreek. Op die voorblad van die Zoutpansberger van 17 Mei 1996 is inwoners gewaarsku om op die uitkyk te wees vir vier verdagte voertuie wat blykbaar uit Lenyelye buite Tzaneen geopereer het. Een van die persone in die sindikaat sou ‘n bank dophou om te sien wie trek groot hoeveelhede kontant. Die inligting is dan via ‘n twee persoon aan iemand in een van die voertuie gegee word, waarna die verdagtes die “slagoffer” sou agtervolg. Wanneer die slagoffer dan êrens sou parkeer, sou hulle by die voertuig inbreek en die kontant steel.

In ander nuus het die destydse bevelvoerder van Soutpansberg Kommando, kol. André Potgieter, boere versoek om noukeurig te kyk na die plaaswerkers wat hulle in diens neem. Potgieter het gesê dat onwettige immigrante in daardie stadium oor die grens gestroom het op soek na werk, maar omdat almal nie werk kon kry nie, het baie van hulle begin steel. Hy het ook boere gewaarsku dat hulle swaar beboet kon word indien hulle onwettige immigrante in diens sou neem sonder die nodige dokumentasie.

Op ‘n positiewe noot is ook berig van ‘n jong hoërskoolseun wat ‘n beursiedief aangekeer het. Herculé Welman van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het tot die redding gekom van me. Lydia Prinsloo, nadat ‘n man haar beursie in die straat gegryp het. Prinsloo het die verdagte aan Herculé uitgewys, wat die man genader het en na ‘n struweling die beursie kon terugkry. Kort daarna het die grypdief weggehardloop.

Another interesting development is in the mountain terrain surrounding the picturesque hotel.

The old blue gum plantation will slowly disappear to make room for indigenous trees and plants. A hiking and mountain-bike trial is in the process of being developed, which will take guests on a route of several kilometres along the slope of the mountain.

The construction work is at an advanced stage and, once finished, the buildings will all have the same colour schemes and style. The hotel will retain its three-star rating but aims to offer four-star facilities.

Veselkabelprojekte staan vinnig einde se kant toe Deur Denise van Bergen Die deurlopende veselkabelprojek op Louis Trichardt, wat in Desember verlede jaar ‘n aanvang geneem het, blyk in hierdie stadium aansienlik meer vreedsaam te verloop – en, tot verligting van die grootste deel van die gemeenskap, uiteindelik na ‘n punt toe te beweeg. Dit ná maande van ontwrigtings en bittere ongelukkigheid oor die sloot-grawery by wonings wat net nie einde wou kry nie en beskadigde infrastruktuur wat inwoners gedurig sonder water en/of elektrisiteit gelaat het.

Die projek is verlede jaar deur die Makhado Munisipaliteit goedgekeur, en hoewel die gemeenskap aanvanklik hul ontevredenheid uitgespreek het oor die munisipaliteit se versuim om hulle te betrek by die besluitneming ten opsigte van hierdie projek, wil dit tóg voorkom of meeste inwoners hulself grootliks berus het daarby, asook met die huidige werksaamhede wat tans voortduur.

Die Zoutpansberger het weer ‘n draai gaan maak by die veselnetwerkmaatskappye om te verneem hoe elkeen vorder en wanneer voltooiing verwag kan word.

Mnr. Kobus Pretorius, instandhoudingsbe­ stuurder vir Letaba Wireless, sê dat hulle klaar is met die ‘ruggraat’ - dit is die aanlê van ondergrondse veselkabels - wat Skuldbult, die nuwe uitbreiding en sentraal Louis Trichardt bedien. Volgende maand begin hulle dieselfde doen in Eltivillas.

Volgens Pretorius is die oorhoofse mid-sone verspreidingsvesel na huise toe reeds 80% voltooi in die nuwe uitbreiding, terwyl Skuldbult 30% en sentraal Louis Trichardt 5% voltooi is.

Die mid-sone verspreidingsvesel, het Pretorius verduidelik, is wanneer die kabel wat op pale geplant is, tussen die huise gespan word. Van daardie kabel af word vier kliënte dan op elke paal (of elke tweede paal) bedien.

Inwoners kan op die volgende skakel ingaan en hul adres insleutel om te sien of vesel al in hul buurt beskikbaar is: https://www.letaba.net/ new/servicecoverage/.

Letaba beoog om teen einde Augustus klaar te wees met alle ondergrondse aanlegte en die span van oorhoofse kabels in Louis Trichardt, waarna hulle dan met installering by huise en besighede sal begin, soos per aanvraag vir die hoë-spoed veselnetwerk. Vir enige navrae kan Pretorius gekontak word by tel 015 004 0047 of 086 101 7409.

Mnr. Grant Small, implementeringsbestuurder vir Britelink - Vumatel se hoofkontrakteur - sê dat hulle basies besig is om klaar te maak.

Op die oomblik werk hulle in die ou dorp en nuwe uitbreiding om die laaste buise aan te lê waar veselkabels nog geïnstalleer moet word.

Hulle beoog om alle si­viele werk (veselkabelinstallering, herinstellings en opruimingswerk) teen einde Mei klaar te hê, sodat hulle teen middel Junie aanlyn en reg is om met installeringswerk by huise en besighede te begin. Bestellings vir hul veselnetwerk kan vooraf reeds gemaak word op Vumatel se web­tuiste, vumatel.co.za.

Herotel se kommersiële bestuurder in Limpopo, mnr. Tom Bramwell-Jones, het ook terugvoer gegee. Hy sê dat Herotel se vesel-projek op die dorp tot nou toe goed verloop het, ten spyte van een van die swaarste reënseisoene in jare. Hulle beoog om teen 30 Mei klaar te wees met die laaste siviele werk rondom die projek. Hulle is tans besig om veselkabels op die pale wat oral in die dorp geplant is te span.

Die Herotel-span sê hulle is dankbaar vir die ongelooflike ondersteuning (en geduld) van die gemeenskap oor die afgelope paar maande.

Bramwell-Jones het bevestig dat Herotel teen einde Junie amptelik aanlyn sal wees, en dat die eerste kliënte teen middel-Julie verbind sal wees met hierdie nuwe hoë-spoed veselnetwerk.

Vir Herotel se spesiale vooraf-aansluitingstariewe, gaan op die volgende skakel in en sleutel jou kontakbesonderhede in om solank op hul early bird lys geplaas te word: https://www.herotel. com/fibre-is-coming-to-louistrichardt/.

Dié terugvoer dui positiewe vordering en ‘n ligpunt aan die einde van die tonnel aan, maar kan ons sê dat ons oor die hond se stert is? Is dit dít, of moet inwoners hulself gereed maak vir nuwe kontrakteurs wat die dorp mag binnedring en tuine van voor af begin omdolwe? Die koerant het die antwoord by die munisipaliteit gaan soek.

Volgens mnr. Louis Bobodi, munisipale woordvoerder, het geen ander maatskappye aansoek gedoen hiervoor nie en is Letaba Wireless, Herotel en Vumatel die enigste maatskappye waarvan die munisipaliteit bewus is wat tans nog besig is met die projek. Hy het bevestig dat Letaba Wireless tussen Augustus en September hierdie jaar klaar behoort te maak, terwyl Herotel en Vumatel reeds binne die volgende maand klaar behoort te wees.

‘n Groep vrywilligers het Saterdag, 15 Mei, weer ingespring en die Louis Trichardt begraafplaas help skoonmaak. Die instandhouding by die munisipale begraafplaas word uiters sporadies gedoen, wat meebring dat die grafte nouliks sigbaar is tussen die lang gras. Die area word ook geteiken deur misdadigers en dit skep ‘n veiligheidsrisiko vir besoekers. Ten spyte van beloftes van die munisipaliteit dat die heining rondom die begraafplaas herstel sal word, is groot dele van die heining stukkend, waardeur misdadigers maklike toegang tot die area verkry. In die foto verskyn ‘n groepie van die helpers wat Saterdag geswoeg en gesweet het om die area weer netjies te maak.

Dit wil tóg voorkom of meeste inwoners hulself grootliks berus het met die projek, asook met die huidige werksaamhede wat tans voortduur.

Bobodi sê dat die proses stadiger verloop het as wat aanvanklik verwag is as gevolg van skade aan infrastruktuur, wat gevolglik ook ander dien­ste in die proses geaffekteer het – iets waaroor die munisipaliteit uit die aard van die saak nie gelukkig was nie, omdat dit gedurig aangespreek en uitgesorteer moes word - maar dat die projek binnekort klaar sal wees.

Laerskool Louis Trichardt het verlede week hulle Top 10 akademiese presteerders in elke graad aangewys ná afloop van die eerste skoolkwartaal. Afgeneem is die Graad 7’s. Voor, van links na regs, staan Ameera Manjra, Reneé van Niekerk, Nommy Dafuleya, Rolivhuwa Murashiwa en Zaurich Jordaan.

The man has a golden necklace, similar to that of Rosalyn. The necklace starts tugging the man towards the treehouse where Rosalyn had left the book and maps.

Tinashe, the stranger, places his own necklace on the depression in the book cover and it starts to glow, but Rosalyn grabs the book with the map and holds it next to her heart.

In a flash she gets teleported to a grassland, with large rectangular boulders around her.

It reminds her of Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. She notices a doorlike rectangular space in between the boulders, aligned exactly as that of Orion’s belt.

How does it work?

We wrote the first chapter of the story. Two stories are featured, an English one and an Afrikaans story. The stories alternate, meaning one week the English chapter appears and the next week the Afrikaans story’s chapter. The stories are completely different, and the young writers do not have to enter chapters for both stories.

The first chapter had merely set the parameters of the story, such as some of the characters and a very basic plot. Where the story will eventually end up is totally up to our young readers. Writers may introduce new characters and (sadly) kill off some of the old characters.

Every new chapter gets published on a Thursday in the newspaper. The writers then have up to the following Wednesday afternoon to send in their contributions. The entries will be judged by a panel of writers. Every week’s winning entry will receive a small prize. An overall prize for the best contributions (English and

Latin).

For a moment the ground quaked. Rosalyn toppled behind the boulder she was sitting on. The quake stopped and she cautiously peeked over the boulder, only to see Tinashe disappearing down some stairs. A circular hole in the centre of the henges and a staircase that spiralled down around its outer walls had appeared. She took a deep breath and followed Tinashe into the dark hole, dimly lit by glowing patterns that ran across the glistening crystal walls. After what felt like hours, she finally reached the bottom.

The staircase led her to a golden door, which had been left open by Tinashe. The door, in turn, led to a room with seven other doors, with names inscribed in Latin on them.

Tinashe stood there, astonished, analysing the doors.

“The seven doors,” he gasped.

He pointed at the first door and said, “Pandora’s box”.

He then pointed at the second door and said, “Excalibur”.

At the third door he said, “Orion’s bow & arrow ... of course”.

The fourth was “the tree of life”, the fifth “the Arc of the covenant” and the sixth “the golden mortar”.

Rosalyn remembered Tinashe mentioning something about retrieving a golden mortar for the chief.

He then pointed at the seventh door with a grin on his face. “Last but not least, I present to you, Rosalyn, the doorway to the land of gold El Dorado.”

She could not believe it; now, the only thing standing between her and the answers she had long been searching for, was a door.

(To be continued.)

Comments from the judges

Anke Roos deserves a special mention for her effort. She “found” Rosalyn’s granddad, trapped in a “trans”. She is about to try and rescue him when Tinashe and three of his friends move in. It’s amazing how much tension Anke can include in so few words.

Finally - Kholofelo Nethengwe entered a version with a “bloody” ending. She also teleported Rosalyn back to where she grew up, but then she took her to an old castle.

Time travel seemingly is no challenge for Kholofelo.

Thank you so much for all the young writers who have entered. As one of the judges said: “This is a bit like being a kid with those ‘Choose your own adventure’ books and wanting to follow all the possible paths.” You took us on wonderful journeys.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 21 MEI 2021

Ma’s en dogters lekker bederf by Mountain View op Moedersdag Deur Denise van Bergen ‘n Ma-en-dogter vonkelwyn laat-ontbyt wat die afgelope Moedersdag (9 Mei)

by Mountain Inn op Louis Trichardt aangebied is, is ná al die kleurlose maande van inperkings hartlik verwelkom, en het vir ‘n onvergeetlike dag, omring deur een van die pragtigste uitsigte van die Soutpansberge, gesorg.

Die doel van die funksie, sê organiseerders Vicky Richard­ son van Mountain Inn en Cristine Nortjé (eienaar van Beauty by Cristine), was nie

net vir mammas en hul dogters om hierdie spesiale dag saam te geniet nie, maar het ook vir vroue-ondernemers die geleent­heid gebied om hul besighede onder mekaar te bemark, en mekaar terselfdertyd te ondersteun. ‘n Wye verskeidenheid inte­ ressanthede is uitgestal waardeur gaste kon snuffel - van BaoCare produkte, juwele, leer handsakke en ingelegde vrugte en groente, tot feetjieklere vir dogtertjies, Plaasmeisie-produkte, Tupperware, boeke en nog vele meer.

Ozzy Jacobs het al die pad

Cristine Nortjé (links) en Vicky Richardson het vir ‘n baie spesiale Moedersdag gesorg hierdie jaar tydends die ma-endogter vonkelwyn laat-ontbyt wat by Mountain Inn aangebied is. Ozzie Jacobs, ‘n musikant van Pretoria, het die atmosfeer tussendeur gesellig gehou.

van Pretoria af gekom om die atmosfeer gesellig te hou met lekker musiek. Die program – wat ‘n smaaklike laat-ontbyt ingesluit het - was propvol vermaak en die sowat 55 gaste het heerlik saam gekuier.

Die hoogtepunt van die dag word toegeskryf aan die drama-span van Ridgeway College, wat gedigte - aan hul ma’s opgedra - voorgelees het.

Dames is toegespreek oor die voordele van joga en ander gesonde oefening, asook refleksologie, osoonbehandeling en ‘n drie-dag staproete wat beplan en eersdaags aangebied gaan word.

Gelukkige trekkings is ook tussendeur gedoen, en die wenners is bederf met lekker pryse. Quinette du Toit het ‘n geskenkbewys van Beauty by Cristine, ter waarde van R500, gewen, terwyl Doraine Jacobs met ‘n Sondagete vir twee by Mountain Inn, ter waarde van R500, weggestap het. Marie de Vasconcelos is bederf met ‘n wyn en sjokolade geskenkbewys ter waarde van R250 en Rita Esterhuizen het pragtige aanknip juwele deur Yvonne Lenard van Levubu, ter waarde van R200, huis toe geneem.

Nortjé sê dat hulle baie tevrede is. “Die dag in geheel was ‘n groot sukses. Almal het hulself geniet, en dit is al wat saak maak. Ons gaan dit beslis ‘n jaarlikse instelling maak.”

Die volgende funksie wat hulle reël is vir Vrouedag, so hou dié datum gerus oop.

Ridgeway College’s Grade 9 students, under the watchful eye of their arts and culture teacher, Ms Hannah Waller, were recently tasked with designing and creating a sculpture that would be suitable for display in a public space. The aim of the project was to choose a single word that could describe South Africa and to work as a group to create a public sculpture that would evoke certain emotions from the viewers of the work. Whilst the focus was on the positive, the students were encouraged to reflect honestly on their experiences of South Africa. To end the project off, the pupils had to decide where and how they would display the work in a way that enhanced the meaning of the work. “In terms of teaching the 21st century key skills of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity, this project hit the nail on the head!” said the college.

Further investigations revealed that Raphalalani, together with Thabo Makamane (53), who was also a deputy director at the facility, awarded a tender worth R3 588 707 to Durafoam Distributors CC without following due processes. The Kutama Sinthumule Correctional centre suffered a loss of over R18 million due to these corrupt activities,” said Maluleke in a press release.

Raphalalani was arrested during a sting operation by the Hawks in December 2018. He is also implicated in other corrupt activities at the facility and has since been convicted by the same court on 1 September 2020.

The case against Raphalalani has been postponed until 15 June for pre-trial sentencing.

Die plaaslike fietsrygemeenskap het Saterdag, 15 Mei, afskeid geneem van een van die oudste aktiewe fietsryers in die streek. Die 78-jarige oom Wim Botha en sy vrou, tannie Petro, verhuis hierdie week na George. Oom Wim was ‘n uiters getroue lid van die Speke fietsrygroep, wat een of twee keer per week saam geoefen het. Saterdagoggend het die groepie fietsryers vir oulaas saam met oom Wim die 53 km-roete op die Waterpoortpad aangedurf.

Century by Joubert steers home team to victory

By Andries van Zyl A magnificent century by Dewald Joubert steered Louis Trichardt’s first cricket team to victory in their Impala Premier League cricket match against Giyani on Sunday.

Louis Trichardt enjoyed home-ground advan-

tage and went in to bat first. Opener Dirk van den Berg got Louis Trichardt of to a good start, adding 37 runs off 50 balls before his wicket fell.

Fellow opener JP Coetzee could, however, not get going and was back in the pavilion with only two runs to his name.

Dewald Joubert walked in at number three

Gebakte baba-groente

Deur Denise van Bergen Lindie Nel se groentegereg is nie net vinnig en maklik nie, maar nog smaaklik en vullend daarby. Sy het die resep destyds by haar oorlede skoonsus gekry en die familie geniet dit nog steeds na al die jare. Die jogurt en groente gaan heerlik saam! Hierdie dis maak die perfekte bykos vir ‘n Sondagmiddag Weber-hoendertjie of braaivleis.

and basically single-handedly took the game away from Giyani. He only needed 66 balls for his 100, which included four fours and ten sixes.

Giyani was sure to have breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him walk back to the dressing room after being caught by Niki Mamatshaule from the bowling of Irvin Moropo. After Joubert’s departure, the Giyani bowlers came back firing on all cylinders, dismissing Louis Trichardt’s remaining batsmen for only 15 runs, which included three ducks.

Irvin Moropo was the pick of the Giyani bowlers. He boasted a five-wickets haul, which included the wicket of Louis Trichardt danger man Dewald Joubert, for the loss of 38 runs in 8,4 overs. Moropo was well supported by Honest Ngobeni, who took three wickets for the loss of 58 runs in 10 overs, while teammates Maringa Maringa and Nholovo Sithole each took one

wicket.

Giyani’s batsmen were off to a bad start, with openers Honest Ngobeni and Hlozi Maluleke being dismissed for only four runs. PJ Makasi in at number three and Matimba Khosa in at number five brough some respectability to the Giyani innings by respectively contributing 30 and 29 runs off the bat. They were well supported by fellow batsman Irvin Moropo, who contributed 17 runs. In the end, Joubert’s 100 was a bridge too far for the Giyani batsmen to match and they were bowled out with only 125 runs on the scoreboard, securing Louis Trichardt a 53-run victory.

Louis Trichardt also featured a five-wicket haul, with bowler Dirk van den Berg toppling five wickets for the loss of 28 runs in 7,4 overs.

Jandré Hancke en AJ Fourie also shared in the spoils, both taking two wickets respectively. JP Coetzee took one wicket.

Bestanddele: 1 pakkie lang murgpampoentjies (baby marrows) 1 pakkie ronde murgpampoentjies (baby squash/zucchini) 1 pakkie vlapampoentjies (pattypans) 1 houer (250ml) ongegeurde joghurt 1 houer (250ml) vars room 1 pakkie wit uie soppoeier Metode:

Voorverhit die oond tot 180°C. Sny die groente in blokkies (2 cm) en plaas in ‘n pot met koue water op die stoof. (Die water moet net genoeg wees om al die groente te bedek). Kook op hoë hitte, met ‘n knippie sout by, vir net sowat 10 minute. (Dit moenie sag gekook wees nie!)

Wanneer dit klaar gekook het, dreineer die water heeltemal en verplaas die groente na ‘n oondbak.

Meng die joghurt, room en wit uie soppoeier deeglik saam in ‘n bak en giet die sous oor die groente. Al die groente moet bedek wees. Plaas die bak in die oond en bak vir sowat 15-20 minute (afhangende van oond se hitte), of totdat die sous gestol het, en geniet.

Hierdie is een van daardie veelsydige resepte wat maklik aangepas kan word volgens smaak. Die groente kan byvoorbeeld vervang word met groente van jou eie keuse, of die resep kan aangepas word as ‘n lae-vet gereg. Vir diegene wat voel hy kort ‘n vleiserigheidjie, behoort stukkies gebraaide spek (bacon) of gerookte ham daarby die ding te doen, en natuurlik mag sommiges kaas bo-oor ook verkies. Die resep is egter regtig lekker nes hy is. Die wit uie soppoeier gee genoeg geur en smaak, wat ander speserye en ekstra bestanddele heeltemal onnodig maak.

Lindie is oorspronklik van Pretoria maar woon al vir 13 jaar saam haar man, Danie, op Louis Trichardt. Sy en haar dogter, Chantal, bedryf hul eie besigheid, C’Lins Kitchen Treats, van die huis af - Lindie sorg vir heerlike tuisgebak, terwyl Chantal die bemarking en bestellings behartig.

Wanneer Lindie haar potte en panne vir ‘n wyle wegbêre, maak sy graag tuin, en iemand wat nog nooit ervaar het hoe dié tydverdryf die kop ‘skoon’ kan maak en die siel tot ruste kan bring nie, sal nie kan verstaan presies hoe terapeuties dit eintlik is nie.

Maar tussen al die bedrywighede deur wat haar tyd daagliks in beslag neem en haar so gelukkig maak, bly haar hart steeds die volste van haar man en drie kinders en sy koester elke liewe oomblik wat hulle deel is van haar lewe.

Louis Trichardt te sterk vir Potties Die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub het Saterdag, 15 Mei, tuisveldvoordeel geniet in twee ligabepalings teen Potgietersrus. Die eerstes het Potgietersrus 1 met 33 punte teenoor 22 geklop, terwyl die dorp se tweedes 34-29 afgereken het met Potgietersrus 2. Die twee dorpe se derdespanne het ‘n vriendskaplike wedstryd gespeel. Afgeneem is Louis Trichardt se tweedespanspeler Donovan Pretorius, een van Louis Trichardt se puntemakers.
