Steeds geen

Deur Andries van Zyl

Die families van twee mans van Musina wat maande gelede wreedaardig vermoor is, wag steeds op nuus dat enige verdagtes in verband met die moorde aangekeer is. Beide families beskuldig die Musina polisie daarvan dat hulle met die ondersoeke sloer.

Vir ma Soekie Kock is die traagheid waarmee haar seun se moordsaak hanteer word veral onrusbarend. Haar seun, die 27-jarige Henrie Mans, is gedurende die aand van 31 Maart of oggend van 1 April vermoor. Sy liggaam is op die Musina/Tshipise-pad gevind. Hy is die vorige dag lewend gesien, nadat ‘n vriend hom by sy ma se huis kom oplaai het om hom te kom help met werk op ‘n plaas langs dieselfde pad.

Volgens Kock kan sy nie verstaan waarom die saak so sloer nie. Sy het Dinsdag gesê die hof op Musina het instruksie gegee dat verklarings van almal teenwoordig op die plaas waar haar seun gaan werk het, gekry moet word. Dit sluit blykbaar in dat die polisie gevra is om aansoek te doen vir ‘n 205-dagvaardiging op die selfoonrekords van almal wat op die plaas teenwoordig was.

“Die heeltyd sê hulle, hulle gaan dit môre doen, maar niks word gedoen nie. Daar is geen beweging en wil om iets te doen nie. Ek sal nie sê hulle probeer iets toesmeer nie, maar hulle rek die saak uit,” het Kock gesê.

Kock het gesê sy het nou breekpunt bereik. “Die heeltyd sê jy vir jouself jy moet hulle [die polisie] nie kwaad maak nie, want dan wil hulle nie meer die saak ondersoek nie ... Mens probeer vriendelik wees, maar wat help vriendelikheid jou?!” het Kock gesê. Sy wil nou antwoorde hê. “Hulle ken my maar sleg. Ek gaan nie meer ordentlik wees nie,” het sy bygevoeg.

Van die frustrasie wat Kock ervaar met die polisie sluit in ‘n gebrek aan terugvoer. Vir bykans vier maande ná haar seun se dood het sy feitlik elke dag Musina polisiestasie toe gegaan om te hoor wat aangaan met die saak. Die polisie het haar toe gevra om asseblief nie meer elke dag

te kom nie. Nou wag sy maar.

“Die forensiese verslag is ook nog nie terug nie … Hulle doen net niks uit hulle eie uit nie. Gee jy vir hulle inligting, ondersoek hulle dit nie,” het Kock gesê.

Volgens Kock is die gebrek aan dringendheid waarmee haar seun se moordsaak hanteer word, skokkend. “Dit is tog ‘n moordsaak hierdie. Dit is baie ernstiger as sigarette smokkel of om verbode immigrante te vang. Waarom kry hierdie saak nie dieselfde aandag nie?” wou Kock weet. Sy voeg by dat sy onlangs ook deur die ondersoekbeampte in die saak meegedeel is dat hy nie eintlik tyd het om aandag aan haar saak te gee nie, omdat hulle almal tans nagskof werk om ‘n groep koperkabeldiewe te probeer vastrek wat tans doenig is in die grensdorp.

“Ek is nou al genoeg gewag. Dit gaan nou al aan na sewe maande! Dit werk nie vir my nie. My kind se lewe is gevat. Hy het dit nie verdien nie. Dit is net nie reg nie,” het Kock gesê.

Die familie van die 38-jarige Sakkie Cilliers is die ander familie wat ook nog op antwoorde wag. Cilliers is gedurende die vroeë oggendure van 14 Julie koelbloedig vermoor toe hy deur verdagtes in die kop geskiet is buite die Mac Musina Rugbyklub.

Die vermoede bestaan dat dit ‘n mislukte motorkaping was. Al wat van sy persoon vermis was, was sy bakkiesleutels. Cilliers se suster, Inge Heymans, het ook Dinsdag aan die

Zoutpansberger bevestig dat nog absoluut geen vordering gemaak is in haar broer se moordsaak nie. Sy voel gewone mense se moordsake kry duidelik nie dieselfde prioriteit behandeling soos die van hoë-profiel mense nie. ‘n Voorbeeld hiervan is die onlangse moord van die burgemeester van die Collins Chabane Munisipaliteit, rdl. Moses Maluleke. Die provinsiale polisiekommissaris het dadelik ‘n 72-uur aktiveringsplan aangekondig ná die moord op Maluleke op 21 Julie, presies ‘n week ná

Cilliers se

moord. Vyf verdagtes is reeds in verband met die moord aangekeer en hulle verhoor het reeds begin.

Businesspeople fined for keeping goats and sheep in border town CBD

Munisipal News

Three businesspeople were fined for keeping goats and sheep in the Musina central business district (CBD) and ordered to take their animals away within 24 hours, while another entrepreneur was fined for burning his waste in the CBD, instead of throwing the thrash out in skip bins. This was during a routine law-enforcement inspection around the town, initiated by Musina’s municipal manager, Mr Nathi Tshiwanammbi, last Wednesday (12 October).

Tshiwanammbi said the municipality had received complaints about people keeping sheep and goats in town, which is in contravention of the municipal bylaws.

“Through our Community Services Department, we had to act swiftly. It is totally unacceptable to have people keeping animals in the CBD, as it poses a health hazard. People should conduct business permissible by law. We will not tolerate a situation where people disregard the law in our presence.”

According to Tshiwanammbi, one of the businesspeople had built a complete kraal for his animals behind his shop.

“When you walk down the street, you would never suspect that there is anything illegal happening behind the shops. This shop was operating as normal, but we were shocked when we went through the back door and saw a kraal with goats, sheep and piles of animal feed stored inside. We

are happy that these businesspeople have complied with our notices and moved their animals within the given 24-hour period. We hope this serves as a lesson to would-be perpetrators as we will not smile on them,” he said.

He issued a strong warning to residents who disregard the bylaws of the local authority.

“As local government, we play our role of implementing policies, but residents should also assist us by abiding to those laws. Our law-enforcement employees will not tolerate a situation where some residents ignore the law. We want our town to be always clean, so that we can also attract investors and tourists to help build our economy.”

Families wag steeds op antwoorde

Hierdie week, 25 jaar

gelede in die Zoutpansberger

Hoofnuus 25 jaar gelede was dat ‘n groep van sowat 2 000 regeringswerkers van die voormalige Venda die N1 tussen Louis Trichardt en Musina geblokkeer het. Die besluit om die N1 te blokkeer het gevolg ná ‘n openbare vergadering van re geringswerkers in Thohoyandou. Tydens die vergadering is die kwessie van die beweerde R800 miljoen Venda Pensioenfonds bespreek wat toe van die nuwe Suid Afrikaanse regering geëis is. Die Dabalorivhuwa Pensioenforum is gestig, wat ‘n memorandum aan die destydse President Nelson Mandela oorhandig het in Pretoria, waarin President Man dela gedreig is dat, sou hy nie binne ‘n sekere tydperk aandag gee aan die pensioenkwessie nie, die N1 geblok keer sou word. Die protesaksie het hande uitgeruk en die kwaadstokers is gearresteer, insluitende mense wat met aanvalsgewere gewapen was.

In ander hoofnuus het ‘n jong 23-jarige inwoner teen sy vonnis van ses jaar geappelleer, nadat hy daaraan skuldig bevind is dat hy ‘n 53-jarige huiswerker verkrag het. Die man is kort ná sy appèl op R5 000 vrygelaat, hangende die uitslag van sy appèl. In daardie stadium het die man reeds ‘n string klagtes teen hom gehad, insluitend ‘n skuldigbevinding op ‘n klag van dronkbestuur, waarvoor hy ‘n drie jaar opgeskorte vonnis gekry het. Slegs ‘n week vroeër het hy ook op klag van strafbare manslag verskyn vir ‘n ongeluk waarin sy jongste boe tie ‘n jaar vantevore oorlede is.

Hondsdolheid was ook in die nuus gewees daardie week, met talle gevalle van die gevreesde siekte wat in die voorafgaande maande gerapporteer is. Die destydse staatsveearts, dr. Vivian Malan, het in daardie stadium ‘n dringende beroep gedoen op troeteldiereienaars om hulle diere te laat inent. In nog ‘n voorbeeld van die geskiede nis wat homself herhaal, het die streek nou onlangs ook gebuk gegaan onder ‘n honds dolheid-uitbreking waartydens die plaaslike DBV, in samewerking met die Legacy-win kel, meer as 1 000 troeteldiere op een dag ingeënt het.

(Vervolg van p.1)

“Maar ons het vrede gemaak daarmee. Ons weet ons gaan dalk nie my broer se moordenaar kry nie,” het Heymans gesê. Tog is dit vir die familie ‘n bitter pil om te sluk. “Die realiteit sink nou eers in. Ons is nou oor daardie besige tydperk van jaag en dokumente,” het Heymans gesê.

Volgens Heymans wag hulle ook nog op die forensiese verslag. “Net gister het ek met die ondersoekbeampte gepraat en sy woorde aan my was; ‘Ek het nie nou tyd om aan jou saak te werk nie, want hulle steel kragkabels hier in Musina. Ek is op nagskof, so ons pas substasies op.’ Dit was sy presiese woorde gewees … my boetie se moord is tog belangriker as kragkabels?” het Heymans gesê. Haar opmerking stem ooreen met dit wat die ondersoekbeampte in Mans se moordsaak aan sy ma gesê het.

Die provinsiale leier van die Vryheidsfront Plus in Limpopo en lid van die Provinsiale Wetgewer, rdl. Marcelle Maritz, probeer tans namens die twee familie antwoorde by die polisie kry oor waarom die sake so sloer. Sy het Dinsdag aan die Zoutpansberger gesê dat sy die saak op provinsiale vlak aanspreek. “Hierdie sake sloer nou regtig lank en die families wil afsluiting hê. ‘n Mens wil weet wie dit was en wat die nagevolge was vir die mense,” het Maritz

Thank you for your continued support

The residents of Laat Lente and Herfsakker retirement community in Louis Trichardt would like to thank all sponsors for their donation.

Thank you, Limpopo Dairy, Sasko Bakery, the Zoutpansberger, Ons Tuiste, Mr Desai, Ms Patel, tannie Das and Feed the Hungry, who donate on a monthly basis.

Also, thank you to all the sponsors who helped make our bazaar a success. The stalls were managed by residents of varying disabilities and ages. To see dignity restored and hear the laughter was like music to our ears. Thank you and thank you again. We were truly blessed by Louis Trichardt and surrounding communities.

gesê.

Maritz spreek die kwessie op provinsiale vlak aan omdat sy, soos die families van die vermoorde mans, op plaaslike vlak geen antwoorde kan kry nie. “Om Musina [polisiestasie] te bel, help jou net niks. Dit is net so goed ek bel ‘n crèche. Hulle vee hulle agterente af aan my. Ek meen, ek sit op die polisiekomitee, so hulle moet verantwoording aan my doen, want ek wil antwoorde hê. Dit frustreer ‘n mens so, want daar is soveel goed wat intussen bykom, dat ek nie kan kophou met alles nie,” het Maritz gesê. Sy sou hierdie week verdere hoëvlak gesprekke hou met die polisie op provinsiale vlak en het onderneem om terugvoer te gee.

“Die probleem is die mense kry nie antwoorde nie, daar word nie opgevolg op sake nie en daar is geen beweging aan die sake nie. Dit bekommer my verskriklik,” het Maritz gesê.

Vrae oor die status van die twee sake, die vordering (of gebrek daaraan) wat die afgelope paar maande daarin gemaak is en die moontlik redes vir die slakkepas waarmee die sake ondersoek word, is aan provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo gestuur. Alhoewel hy beide die WhatsApp- en e-pos navraag gesien het, is geen bevestiging van ontvangs gegee nie. Teen druktyd is nog geen reaksie ontvang nie. Sy reaksie sal wel gepubliseer word wanneer dit ontvang word.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

“Maar die bloed sal vir julle ‘n teken wees aan die huise waarin julle is.” Exodus 12:13.

Daardie nag toe Egipte se eersgeborenes geslaan en dié van Israel se huise gespaar is, was daar ‘n ander dood in Goosen se tente. Die paaslam is geslag.

Paulus skrywe aan die Korintiërs: “Want ons paaslam is vir ons geslag, naamlik Christus” (1 Korintiërs 5:7). Treffend is die ooreenkoms tussen die twee. Die lam moes sonder gebrek wees, net soos Christus heilig en sonder sonde was. Teen die aand moes dit geslag word. Die Here Jesus is deur die Joodse Sanhedrin oorgelewer om gekruisig te word omtrent die tyd van die aandoffer.

Die benaming “lam” beskrywe die Here Jesus se karakter. Hy was die Lam, omdat Hy sagmoedig en nederig van hart was (Matteus 11:29), sonder weerstand, gereed om sy wil aan die Vader oor te gee. Jesaja het Hom soos ‘n lam gesien wat stom is voor sy skeerders (Jesaja 53:7). Johannes die Doper het Hom aangewys as die Lam van God wat die sonde van die wêreld wegneem (Johannes 1:29).

Die bloed is ‘n teken van lewe. “Want die siel van die vlees is in die bloed, en Ek het dit aan julle gegee om vir julle siele versoening te doen” (Levitikus 17:11). Die lewe is in die bloed. As dit wegvloei uit die liggaam, tree dood en ontbinding in.

Die hele verlossingsplan is ingestel op die bloed van Jesus Christus. Sy volmaakte lewe is die agtergrond van sy dood, wat Hy vrywillig vir ons ondergaan het.

Is sy bloed al aan die deurkosyne van jou hart? Dan alleen is jy veilig en sal jy lewe.

Gemeenskappe neem toenemend beheer oor

Deur Andries van Zyl

Die toestand van die streek se paaie laat in meeste geval le veel te wense oor en is dikwels lewensgevaarlik vir motoriste. Dit het tot gevolg dat toenemend meer en meer gemeenskappe self besluit om paaie in hulle omgewing te herstel.

Die boerderygemeenskap van Alldays en Vivo het verlede Woensdag (12 Oktober) weer bewys gelewer hiervan toe hulle bymekaargekom het om slaggate op ‘n sowat 28km seksie van die Alldays/Vivo-pad self te herstel. Vir dié doel het hulle onder meer agt voertuie, ses trekkers en sleepwaens, twee tru-grawers, twee 8-ton vragmotors, 24 werkers en agt toesighouers ingespan. Hulle het van 08:30 tot 15:30 gewerk en in totaal 120 sakke sement en 54 m3 kompakteergrond gebruik. Die “operasie” het die gemeenskap R34 680 uit hulle eie sakke gekos.

Dat hierdie stuk pad, soos baie ander paaie in die streek, lewensgevaarlik geword het vanweë sy swak toestand is nie te debatteer nie. Volgens ‘n gemeenskapswoordvoerder, mnr. HJ Smit, lyk die pad al vir die afgelope vier tot vyf jaar so sleg vanweë slaggate. “Hier is al baie mense dood op hierdie pad. Hier by my plaashek is daar iemand dood einde laas jaar. Hy was ‘n Indiër sakeman van die dorp. Hy het gaan voorraad koop en sy bakkie het ‘n slaggat getref. Sy bakkie het gerol en hy is dood,” het Smit gesê. Hy het ook verwys na ander noodlottige ongelukke op

dié stuk pad.

Die skade aan voertuie is nog ‘n verdere probleem. “Jy sien elke liewe dag voertuie met stukkende buitebande. Ons voel dit self ook. As jy nie die pad reg hou nie, verloor jy twee of drie buitebande ‘n week.

Ons vervang nie eers meer ons windskerms nie. Hy moet reg tig moeg wees voordat dit geb eur, want as jy hom vervang, het hy binne twee weke weer ‘n kraak,” het Smit gesê.

Smit het bygevoeg dat, ten spyte daarvan dat hy in noue kontak is met die plaaslike paaie departement, hulle baie struikelblokke moet oorkom.

“Ek en die vroutjie [in beheer by die departement] wat daar is, is permanent aan die baklei,” het Smit gesê. Hy het verduidelik dat hulle kort-kort sonder materiaal is. Dan reël die gemeenskap uit eie sak materiaal. As die materiaal op daag, dan het die werkers nie genoeg veiligheidstewels nie. Dan word stewels uit eie sak gekoop. Sowat drie weke gelede moes die padwerkers hul werk stop, omdat die voertuie se lisensieskyfies verval het. So hou dit aan.

“As jy vir hulle wag, gaan jy vir altyd wag,” het Smit gesê. “Maar, met hulle traagheid probeer ons steeds saamwerk,” het hy bygevoeg.

Smit noem egter dat hulle operasie verlede week nie ‘n unieke gebeurtenis was nie. Sy pa het in die verlede al meer as ‘n R100 000 uit sy eie sak in slegs vier maande spandeer om paaie in die omgewing in stand te hou. So het baie ander boere in die omgewing ook reeds vir

‘n geruime tyd en deurlopend die paaie in hulle omgewing, insluitend grondpaaie, op eie koste in stand gehou.

Die departement verant woordelik vir die instandhou ding van die streek se paaie is die RAL (Road Agency Lim popo). Ongelukkig het hierdie departement ‘n uiters swak naam rakende dienslewering. Die vraag wat inwoners vra, is wat presies kry hulle in ruil vir hulle belastinggeld.

Wat dié vraag betrek het die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) verlede week in ‘n verklaring gevra dat die totale RAL-raad ontbind moet word en dat die Departement van Openbare Werk hulle pligte moet oorn eem. Dit volg nadat aan die lig gekom het dat die gemiddelde RAL-salaris sowat R900 000 per jaar beloop. In totaal het RAL 83 werknemers, wat insluit ses topbestuursposte, vyf senior bestuursposte, 24 gekwalifiseerde professio nele personeel, 20 geskoolde werkers, 21 semi-geskoolde werkers en sewe ongeskoolde werkers. “Dit is duidelik dat RAL hulself bewys het as ‘n swak bestuurder entiteit wat ‘n onnodige uitgawe is en daarin misluk het om dienste te lewer aan die inwoners van Limpopo. Dit is die enigste provinsiale padagentskap en daar is geen behoefte daarvoor nie,” het Risham Maharaj, lid van die provinsiale wetgewer en die DA se woordvoerder vir Openbare Werke, Paaie en Infrastruktuur, in die verklaring gesê.

Hartseer genoeg is dit nie net die streek se sekondêre paaie wat in ‘n haglike toestand is nie. Alhoewel die grootste gedeel van die N1-hoofweg goed onderhou word deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Padagentskap (SANRAL), ontvang die koerant weekliks meer en meer klagtes oor die swak toestand van die N1 noord van die Baobab-tolhek. ‘n Plaasboer in die Mo panie-omgewing, mnr. Jaco Lyon, het Dinsdag gesê dat hy slegs in die 13 km tussen die Riverside Kwekery en Bokmakierie ‘n totaal van 583 slaggate getel het. Sy vraag was: “Waarvoor betaal ons tolgelde?” Wat die toestand van die N1 betref, sal die Zoutpansberger ‘n navraag rig aan SANRAL.

National awards for local newspapers and journalists

By our Staff Reporter

The journalists writing for the Zoutpans berger and its sister publication the Limpopo Mirror are ranked among the top in the coun try in their respective fields. This was proven again last Friday when the Vhembe-based journalists won several of the writing catego ries during the annual awards ceremony of the Forum of Community Journalists (FCJ) with Avbob as main sponsor.

The awards ceremony was held at the Birch wood Hotel & Conference Centre in Boksburg and was attended by representatives of commu

nity newspapers from across the country. The master of ceremonies was well-known veteran TV news anchor and media guru Jeremy Maggs. The Limpopo Mirror won the prize as the best independently owned local newspaper in the country. The newspaper also won the Best Front Page category for independent newspapers.

The judges’ comments on Limpopo Mirror were very flattering: “Strong, well-written sto ries. Good reporting, really being a watchdog for the local community. A judge’s favourite. Lovely read. A testament of a local newspaper who is the watchdog of its community.”

However, the various writing categories

were the ones where the journalists from the far northern part of the country showed their mettle. Here, unlike in the newspaper categories, journalists must compete against hundreds of other journalists from across the country, most of whom work for the big publishing groups.

In the Hard News category, the Zoutpans berger and Limpopo Mirror scooped up three of the top five positions. Andries van Zyl, editor of the Zoutpansberger, won the category, while Mirror’s Maanda Bele was third and Kaizer Nengovhela fifth.

“Strong stories covering important local issues,” was the judges’ comment on Andries’s entries. “Good writer. He is not bound by one type of reporting and he does thorough work. Some excellent examples of interna tional and national developments applied to a local context.”

Maanda Bele also received praise from the judges. “Persistent coverage of issues, such as the taxi rank story, nice to look into the issue after a decade of standing empty.

Shocking but strong story about the stu dents and prostitution.

The lady who makes bricks is a great story, showing how residents make plans in the face of adversity!”

The Investigative Journalism category was again won by the Zoutpansberger’s Anton van Zyl. He has won this category on several previous occa sions, specifically for

the exposés done on corruption at the National Lotteries Commission. “Very strong stories, the lottery corruption and municipal park corrup tion stories go to the core of maladministration in some local municipalities. Excellent investi gative work that seems to have made a national impact,” the judges commented.

Andries van Zyl showed his versatility by ending second in the Sports-writing category. He was fifth in the Investigative Journalism catego ry and seventh in the Human Interest category.

Anton van Zyl, who also manages the two newspapers, was extremely proud of the team’s achievements. “It shows once again that you don’t have to be big to count. Even though we don’t have the resources of the big publishers, we can still make a difference in the way we reflect what is happening in our community.”

Anton was especially impressed with the achievements in the Hard News category. “For one publishing company to have three of the top five finalists in this category is incredible. This is what news is all about – to reflect what is hap pening in your community. If you consider that two of the journalists stay in and report from deep rural areas, the achievements are so much more special,” he said.

Anton was full of praise for the team respon sible for producing the newspapers. “Publishing is a team effort. News starts with a reporter picking up on a story. From there it goes through a process of sub-editing, fact checking and con stant re-writing. The news then gets packaged, with a design team making sure that it eventu ally appears in an easy-to-read format. It goes onto our digital platform and then you have the printing and distribution processes,” he said.

“And finally – you cannot produce good journalism if no-one pays the journalists. This is where our advertising team plays such an im portant role in making sure that revenue streams in to pay the bills,” he said.

He also thanked the advertisers for their sup port and all the regular readers who make sure that they never miss an edition of their favourite newspaper.

SA Post Office once again warns customers against 419 scam

Warning notice

The SA Post Office has become aware of emails meant to convince the receiver to pay money into the account of fraudsters.

Members of the public receive an email stating that a parcel addressed to them is being retained because customs fees on it are out standing. The notice entices them to click on a link that leads them to a website where they can make a payment to release the fictitious parcel.

Emails sent from the server of the SA Post Office originate from @postoffice.co.za. The scam emails are sent from different servers. The email includes a parcel number starting the letters ZA, which was not generated by the Post Office. When tracked on the Post Office’s website, the parcel number does not give any result.

Members of the public who receive the notice should delete it immediately. If customs fees are payable on a parcel posted from abroad, the client pays the fees when they collect the parcel.

“The Post Office gives customers the oppor tunity to check a parcel before they officially take it into possession, and therefore does not require the payment of any fees before the time of collection,” said the SA Post Office in a press release. They added that the Post Office normally sends an SMS when a parcel is ready for collection and never requests an EFT or online payment before a parcel is collected. Any request for an electronic payment should be viewed as a scam.

“The Post Office encourages members of the public with any information about postal crimes to contact its toll-free crime-buster hotline on 0800 020 070,” said the Post Office.

Notice is hereby given in terms of Section 19 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000 that the 103rd Ordinary Council meeting will be held as follows:

: 14:00

DATE : Thursday, 27 October 2022

VENUE : Council Chamber, Ground Floor, Civic Centre, Makhado All interested members of the public are invited to attend the meeting. Enquiries must be directed to Mr S G Maguga or Mr M D Munyai at (015) 519 3000.

The Zoutpansberg Private Hospital in Louis Trichardt gave recognition to their loyal staff by rewarding them with long-service awards last week Thursday, 13 October. In total, seven staff members received their five-year service awards. Pictured from left to right are Mpho Rathumbu, Jeanneth Bebeda, Felicia Khodoga, Joyce Mphela, Christel Leonard, Kate Musin gadi and Virginiah Musandiwa.

Realty 1 Louis Trichardt recently scored a triple win for the local team of property profes sionals. Firstly, the joint efforts of the whole team placed Realty 1 Louis Trichardt in first place in the country for their total sales during September. Ria Van Zyl achieved a national third place for her registered sales, while Khathu Mulaudzi was fifth overall for her regis tered sales during the same period. Mulaudzi also achieved a national fifth place for total registered sales during August this year, while the Louis Trichardt branch was third in the country. Legislation restrictions on property professionals are very strict regarding the documented signed mandates on property sales and authorities to sell etc. With Reta Pie terse (principal) at the helm, who ensures that transaction procedures are closely adhered to, she leads the team to success with their professional handling of sale transactions. The Realty 1 team thanked all their loyal buyers and sellers who had made this success possible and look forward to their continued support.

Long-service awards for 15 years of service were handed out to four members of the Zoutpans berg Private Hospital in Louis Trichardt last week. They were Julia Hlungwani, Tiny Matjee, Audrey Masengani and Riana Smith. Pictured from left to right are Julia, Tiny, Audrey and Dr Anton Stroebel (director). Unfortunately, Riana was unable to attend the ceremony because of her daughter’s graduation ceremony.

Camp helps shape young boys into men

Boys from all over South Africa, including Johannesburg, Nelspruit and many of the villages in the Elim area, gathered at a local farm for the second annual Godly Young Men (GYM) camp for boys from 5 to 8 October.

As the name states, the purpose of the camp is to teach boys the biblical role of masculinity: ‘lead, provide and protect’.

Paul Schlehlein, the founder of the camp, is an American missionary who has lived among the Tsongas for 16 years, where he preaches in their language each week. In addition to planting the Trinity Baptist Church and Miseve Classical School in the village of Mbhokota, he, along with teammate Seth Meyers, helped establish this boys’ camp to reach boys, teens and fatherless homes with the truth of Scripture.

This year’s camp had 80 boys from ages 7 to 15. They gathered for three days, slept in tents and ate hearty meals prepared by local Chris tians. Not only were they taught biblical lessons on courage

and following Christ but were educated with practical, manly skills, such as how to use a power drill, how to knot a tie, how to do a proper push-up, how to use jumper cables on a car, how to shine shoes, how to ride a dirt bike and how to write a thank you letter. The camp also includes activities such as swimming, pellet-gun shooting, arm-wrestling tournaments and trailer rides. Cuts, dirt and scrapes on the hands and feet are viewed as badges of honour.

The organisers are hoping for even more campers next year. A GYM Camp for seniors (age 16 and up) is planned for the end of March 2023 and another GYM Camp for juniors (ages 7 to 15) for early October next year.

The organisers of the camp expressed their thank towards several local businessmen for their support, including Hanno van Niekerk (GearTek), Pieter Schlesinger (Sandberg Trans port), Laurie Bannatyne (Talisman) and Eduard Schuch (LTT Trailers). Hanno availed his farm near AFB Makhado for hosting the camp.

Moenie kans verbeur om R600 te wen in fotokompetisie nie

Kompetisie

Die streek se fotograwe word daaraan herinner dat inskrywings vir die Zoutpansberger se kalenderfoto-kompetisie vir Oktober reeds ingewag word.

Fotograwe kan vanjaar regdeur die jaar, tot en met die derde week in November, vir die koerant se jaarlikse kalenderfotokompetisie vir 2023 inskryf. Die kalender sal dan onder meer deur die Zoutpansberger gebruik word vir bemarkingsdoeleindes. Geen inskrywings kan egter vir Desember gedoen word nie, aangesien die koerant reeds einde November die kalenders moet laat druk vanweë die Kersvakansie. Tot en met daardie stadium sal daar dus 11 weninskrywings wees. Die 12de wenfoto sal deur die beoordelaars gekies word uit al die

inskrywings wat deur die jaar ontvang is en nog nie gewen het nie.

Wat Oktober en November betref, sal fotograwe dus steeds hulle foto’s nog kan inskryf, waaruit een wenfoto gekies sal word vir elke maand. ‘n Maksimum van vyf foto’s per fotograaf per maand kan ingestuur word, maar fotograwe kan vir meer as een maand inskryf. NB – Indien jou foto dalk een maand nie gewen het nie, maar jy voel dit is goed genoeg om weer in te skryf, kan dieselfde foto weer vir ‘n volgende maand ingestuur word. Die foto moet egter binne die afgelope 24 maande geneem gewees het en moet die fotograaf se eie werk wees.

‘n Prys van R600 sal vir elke maand se wenfoto betaal word. Elke maand se wenfoto sal in die eerste week van die daaropvolgende maand se Zout-

pansberger gepubliseer word. Slegs hoë-resolusie digitale foto’s (verkieslik landskap-formaat) sal aanvaar word. Die foto’s kan in hoë resolusie per e-pos (een vir een, indien nodig) gestuur word, of op CD of geheuestokkie ingehandig word by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger te Joubertstraat 16B in Louis Trichardt.

Elke inskrywing moet vergesel wees van die fotograaf se naam, kontakbesonderhede, waar die foto geneem is en met watter kamera dit geneem is. Selfoonfoto’s is ook toelaatbaar indien die foon oor ‘n goeie kamera beskik. Die kompetisie vir Oktober het reeds begin. Vir meer inligting oor die kompetisie, skakel Andries by tel. 082 603 2419 of 015 516 4997 (tydens kantoorure).

Hoë-resolusie foto’s kan ook aan hom gestuur word per e-pos na news@zoutnet.co.za.

One-wicket win for Louis Trichardt in clash against Phoenix CC

By Andries van Zyl

Louis Trichardt’s first cricket team managed to secure themselves a one-wicket win over the Phoenix Cricket Club at the Duiwelskloof Oval on Sunday, 16 October, in the next round of the provincial Impala Premier Cricket League.

Phoenix took to the batting crease first, managing 172 runs before being bowled out in 34.4 overs. The team’s top scorers, managing double-digit runs, were Imran Badar (10), Kian Loughor (30), SJ Kaber (11), Mikateko Rikhotso (39) and Shizaib Muhammed (32).

The Louis Trichardt bowlers managed to concede no fewer than 42 extras (6B, 1 LB, 31 WD and 4 NB) in their bowling attack, yet the top bowlers finished with decent bowling figures. Skonza Nxasana took three wickets for the loss of 24 runs in 5,3 overs (3/24/5,3), while JP Coetzee took 2/22/5 and Salman Patel 2/33/8. Amir Bux Saif, Paulo Piorek and Sahil Patel each took one wicket.

Louis Trichardt’s batting line-up got off to a shacky start, with the first five wickets down for

only 56 runs. A six-wicket partnership of 73 runs saw the team getting back on track, with Louis Trichardt hitting the winning runs in 42.3 overs with the score on 174/9, securing them a one wicket victory. Louis Trichardt’s top batsman was Sahil Patel (66) with double-digit contributions also from Amir Bux Saif (21), Juan-Michael Phillips (12) and Salman Patel (25).

Similar to the Louis Trichardt bowling attack, Phoenix’s bowlers managed to concede no fewer than 43 extras (20 B, 6 LB, 16 WD and 1 NB). Their top bowler was SJ Kaber, who took 3/16/9. Rainart Schoonbee, Akani Mongwe, Jonty Brown, Mikateko Rikhotso and Kian Loughor each took one wicket.

Louis Trichardt’s next Impala Premier League clash will be against the Aces Cricket Club at the Tom Naudé Oval in Polokwane on 23 October.
