Een dom krimineel Deur Andries van Zyl
Die man wat Maandagoggend by die Soutpansberg Muurbalklub ingebreek het, kan sekerlik beskou word as een van die domste kriminele wat die streek nog opgelewer het. Hopelik sal dit ‘n kwessie wees van “slim vang sy baas”, want die polisie het pragtige volkleur beeldmateriaal van die man se manewales. Die klub se sekuriteitskameras, wat deur beweging geaktiveer word, het presies om 03:25 begin opneem, nadat die onbeholpe inbreker ‘n reusegat in die dak van die klubhuis se kombuisie geskop het. Hy kan gesien word waar hy heel versigtig die

klub se kroeg binnestap, maar dit is omtrent waar sy slimmigheid en versigtigheid eindig. Binne sekondes kyk die man, netjies uitgevat in wat lyk soos ‘n duur ontwerpersbaadjie, reguit op na die sekuriteitskamera, maar duidelik besef hy nie waarna hy kyk nie. Nee, hy stap doodluiters na die klub se televisie wat op die kroegyskassie staan. In daardie stadium wil dit voorkom asof hy wil kyk wat op televisie wys, want hy vroetel met die muurprop en skakel dan die televisie aan. Daar is egter geen beeld nie en die man skakel dit dan maar weer af. Wie weet, dalk wil hy net kyk of die televisie werk? Met “niks” wat op televisie wys nie, haal die man dan maar vir hom ‘n koue blikkie Cream Soda uit die kroegyskassie, maak dit oop en stap agter die kroeg in. Die twee slukke Cream Soda wat hy neem, gee blykbaar vir die man ‘n geestelike hupstoot, want hy kyk weer reguit vir die sekuriteitskamera. Dit is duidelik dat hy toe ‘n helder oomblik beleef, want skielik pluk hy sy baadjie se rooi kappie oor sy kop. As hy egter daardeur probeer wegkruip vir die kamera, is dit reeds te laat. Met sy gesig nou veilig verbloem deur sy rooi kappie, besef die man blykbaar dat hy afgeneem word en hy sak af agter die kroegtoonbank en peuter aan ‘n paar drade. Dit is duidelik dat hy die sekuriteitskamera probeer uitskakel, want hy staan skielik op en stap reguit na die sekuriteitskamera. Die slegte nuus vir die inbreker is dat, ten spyte van sy rooi kappie, die kamera nog ‘n beter nabyskoot van sy gesig neem, kort voordat hy daarin slaag om die kamera weg te draai. Die mans se beweging daarna is nie seker. Hy verlaat wel weer die kombuis en kroegarea, waarna hy by die stoorkamer inbreek. Hier probeer hy om met ‘n skêr die rekenaarkas oop te skroef waarop die beeldmateriaal van sy manewales gestoor is. Hiervan maak hy ook ietwat van ‘n gemors, want hy slaag slegs daarin om twee van die vyf skroewe so halfpad met die skêr oop te worstel, waarna hy moed opgee. Hy kies dan maar weer onverrigter

die drukpomp vervang, maar nog voordat hulle dit kon opkoppel, is die pomp weer gesteel. Die klub het toe maar besluit om die drukpomp tot binnein die klubgebou te skuif. “Dit moet nou regtig ophou! As iemand weet wie die man is, sê vir hom hy moet sy rekening kom haal,” het ‘n ontstoke Welman gesê. Die saak is by die polisie aangemeld en word tans ondersoek. Intussen kan lesers op die koerant se webblad www.zoutpansberger.co.za gaan kyk na ‘n videogreep van die inbreker se manewales.

Welman het gesê dat daar al vyf keer by hulle ingebreek is. “Elke keer steel hulle omtrent niks nie. Behalwe die blikkie koeldrank kan ons nie sien dat die man enigsins iets anders gevat het nie. Dit is omtrent elke keer die geval – hulle steel feitlik niks maar rig duisende rande se skade aan,” het Welman gesê. In Mei het iemand die klub se drukpomp gesteel. Die klub het

Police arrest sixth escaped prisoner Crime
The police have re-arrested a sixth prisoner who managed to escape from the Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre in Louis Trichardt in 2017. Seven highly dangerous prisoners managed to escape from custody on the evening of 27 October last year amidst protest action by prison wardens, which escalated into a full-blown prison riot. Limpopo provincial police spokesperson Col Moatshe Ngoepe confirmed on Tuesday that a sixth escapee, the 34-year-old Phathutshedzo Nemadodzi, was re-arrested
during an intelligence-led joint operation during the early hours of that morning. Nemadodzi was in prison for murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances. Ngoepe said that Nemadodzi, from Dididi village outside Thohoyandou, had been apprehended while hiding at his home. Nemadodzi’s arrest brings to six the total number of the escapees who have been re-arrested up to now. The other five escapees who were re-arrested earlier are Chris Faku (37), Jabulani Isaac Mahlangu (32) from Pretoria, Ntshengedzeni Manukha (26) from Thohoyandou, Ntshavheni Thomas Munyai (30) from Riverside
and Justice Makamo (28) from Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, the police are still searching for the seventh escapee, the 30-year-old Raphaelj Nyota from Harare in Zimbabwe. At the time of his escape, he was also serving a sentence for murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances. Ngoepe urged the public to help track down Nyota. Anyone with information that can lead to his re-arrest can contact Colonel Nyelisani Mabatha at 082 565 8171, the Crime Stop number at 08600 10111, the Crime Line SMS at 32211 or their nearest police station.
AfriForum bereik skikking met Vhembe Munisipale nuus
Die burgerregtewaghond AfriForum het verlede wweek ‘n skikking met die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit bereik rakende die afgelope jare se waterkrisis in Louis Trichardt. AfriForum het aanvanklik ’n hofaansoek in die NoordGautengse Hoërhof gebring om dié munisipaliteit aanspreeklik te hou vir ontoereikende watervoorsiening aan die gemeenskap. Die partye het egter geskik voordat die aansoek deur die hof aangehoor is, en die skikking is deur die hof bekragtig. “Die munisipaliteit het ’n aksieplan aan AfriForum voorgelê
wat verduidelik dat daar beplan word om ses van die boorgate te herstel. Dié boorgate voorsien op ’n deurlopende basis water aan verbruikers. Die munisipaliteit is ook besig om nuwe kontrakteurs aan te stel om ’n boorgatprojek te voltooi,” het AfriForum se distrikskoördineerder in Limpopo, mnr. Jaco Grobbelaar, in ‘n persverklaring gesê. Die skikking is verlede Maandag bereik. Grobbelaar het gesê dat AfriForum ook verteenwoordigers sal hê op die geïntegreerde-ontwikkelingsplanforum om toe te sien dat projekte suksesvol afgehandel word. Vhembe het verder onderneem om gemeenskapslede van die watersituasie in Louis

Trichardt op hoogte te hou. Volgens Grobbelaar is dié skikking ’n positiewe uitkoms vir die gemeenskap van Louis Trichardt en berus dit op goeie samewerking tussen AfriForum en die munisipaliteit. “AfriForum sal die vordering van die boorgatprojek egter moniteer om te verseker dat die munisipaliteit wel aan die bevel gehoor gee. Dit is ons plig as burgerregte-organisasie en gemeenskap om te verseker dat die munisipaliteit wel die dienste lewer waarvoor die gemeenskap betaal. Ons sal voortdurend druk op die munisipaliteit plaas indien die bevel nie gehoorsaam word nie,” het Grobbelaar gesê.
The MEC for Social Development, Ms Mapula Mokaba Phukwana, officially launched Child Protection Week at the Lwamondo Lutheran Church in Tshifulanani a fortnight ago. According to her, the main aim of Child Protection Week is to raise awareness about the critical needs of children, to mobilise all sectors of society and communities towards comprehensive development, caring and protection of the children. She added that Child Protection Week had become an annual campaign to educate and mobilise communities to put children’s interests first.
word na die Direkteur van Openbare Vervolging in Polokwane. “Ons gaan definitief die saak bespoedig. Dit is in belang van almal dat die saak vinnig afgehandel word,” het Weideman gesê. Pita se borg van R5 000 is reeds aan hom terug betaal. Sy paspoort sal ná ‘n finale besluit oor moontlike verdere vervolging aan hom terugbesorg word, indien die Staat sou besluit om alle klagte te laat vaar. Pita is Woensdag gevra om kommentaar te lewer oor die voorlopige terugtrek van die Staat se saak teen hom. Hy het egter aan die Zoutpansberger gesê dat sy regspan hom geadviseer het om geen kommentaar te lewer alvorens ‘n finale besluit oor sy moontlike vervolging geneem is nie.
Alle aanklagte teen bekende plaaslike sakeman mnr. Danie Pita (46) is verlede Donderdag, 14 Junie, in die distrikshof op Louis Trichardt teruggetrek. Pita is op 31 Augustus verlede jaar deur lede van die Valke gearresteer nadat militêre plofstof en ammunisie op ‘n sakeperseel van hom in Kort straat, Louis Trichardt, gevind is. Die Valke het beweer dat hulle op ‘n wenk gereageer het dat daar plofstof op Pita se perseel versteek word. Tydens ‘n klopjag het die ondersoekspan beslag gelê op 552 R4-rondtes, een handgranaat, ses rookgranate, drie leë R1-magasyne en vyf potjiefakkels. Pita is vyf dae ná sy arrestasie op 5 September vrygelaat op borg van R5 000. Buiten die klag van die onwettige besit van plofstof en ‘n klag van die onwettige besit van ammunisie, is daar ook ‘n klag van die besit van ‘n onwettige vuurwapen teen Pita gebring. Laasgenoemde klag is ná die tyd deur die Staat teruggetrek, omdat die Valke nie op enige vuurwapens beslag gelê het nie. Sedert sy arrestasie het Pita verskeie kere in die hof verskyn. Tydens sy laaste verskyning op 24 April vanjaar het die Valke se woordvoerder, kapt. Matimba Maluleke, aangedui dat die ondersoekspan klaar is met hul ondersoek teen Pita en dat hulle nou wag op ‘n hofdatum vanaf die Staat. Daar is ook gespekuleer dat, weens die erns van die klagte teen Pita, die saak heel moontlik oorgeplaas sou word na die Streekhof. Alle klagte teen Pita is egter verlede week voorlopig teruggetrek. Volgens mnr. André Weideman, hoofaanklaer van die Thohoyandou-gebied, het Pita se regspan ‘n lywige en gedetailleerde vertoë teen sy arrestasie en die klagte teen hom by Weideman ingedien. “Die feit dat die klagte voorlopig teruggetrek is, beteken nie dat die klagte nie weer ingestel kan word nie,” het Weideman Woensdag aan die Zoutpansberger gesê. Op ‘n vraag oor die inhoud van Pita se vertoë, het Weideman gesê dat die inhoud van die vertoë nie in hierdie stadium bekend gemaak mag word nie. Volgens Weideman lê die saak nog op sy tafel Die Staat het verlede week alle aanklagte teen vir ‘n finale beslissing of Pita vervolg gaan word, Louis Trichardt sakeman mnr. Danie Pita (46) en of die saak en ‘n finale besluit verwys moet voorlopig teruggetrek.

Koben uit intensief en op pad na rehabilitasie Deur Andries van Zyl
Dit gaan dag na dag beter met die 15-jarige Koben Hofmeyr van Louis Trichardt wat op 19 Mei vanjaar ernstige nekbeserings opgedoen het tydens ‘n skole rugbywedstryd. Sedert sy opname in die Groenkloof Hospitaal in Pretoria het Koben se pad na herstel die harte aangegryp van mense oor die lengte en breedte van die land en nie net dié van sy vriende en familie in die Soutpansberg nie. Dit het ingesluit besoeke van onder meer voormalige en huidige Springbok rugbyspelers Jesse Kriel en Victor Matfield en selfs ‘n besoek van Suid-Afrikaanse sanglegende Steve Hofmeyr. Almal was dit eens dat Koben se glimlag en positiwiteit, te midde van sy beserings, aansteeklik is. Koben het tydens ‘n duikslag op die rugbyveld ‘n besering aan sy C6-nekwerwel opgedoen. Die werwel het uitgeskuif en moes met behulp van twee operasies weer teruggeplaas word. Die besering het egter tot gevolg gehad dat Koben slegs 60% longfunksie het en verlam is in sy polse en hande, asook in sy onderlyf. Buiten vir Koben se positiwiteit, bly ma Annelize en pa Trompie ook positief. Hulle het juis Woensdag nog goeie nuus gehad om te deel. “Die dokters het vanoggend vir ons gesê Koben kan oorgeplaas word na die Muelmed Medikliniek se rehabilitasiesentrum,” het ‘n opgewonde Annelize telefonies aan die Zoutpansberger gesê. Sy staan sedert Koben se ongeluk die heel tyd nog langs sy hospitaalbed. “Maar hy moet ‘n slag die naweek huis toe kom,” het Annelize bygevoeg. Woensdag se goeie nuus is voorafgegaan deur die nuus dat Koben verlede Vrydag vir die eerste keer sedert sy opname vanuit die hospitaal se intensiewe eenheid oorgeplaas kon word na ‘n gewone saal. “Die dokters het hom eers ‘n paar dae in die gewone saal laat lê om seker te maak hy reageer goed met sy bloedverdunningsmedikasie,

voordat hulle hom wou oorplaas na Muelmed,” het Annelize gesê. Te midde van die opgewondenheid dat Koben met rehabilitasie kan begin, was daar Dinsdag ook bietjie hartseer gewees. “Dinsdag was hy maar baie af en emosioneel. Dit was die 19de en presies ‘n maand nadat hy seergekry het,” het Annelize gesê. Sy sê egter dat Koben en hulle positief bly. In hierdie stadium kan Koben se linkerhand se vingers al beweeg en halfpad oopmaak. “Hy het egter nog geen greep nie en kan nie iets vashou nie. As hy iets wil vashou, moet hy dit met al twee sy hande vashou,” het Annelize gesê. Wat sy regterhand betref, het Annelize gesê dat daar al geringe beweging is in van sy vingers. “Ons glo hy gaan 100% herstel,” het Annelize gesê. Intussen het Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, waar Koben ‘n leerling is, ‘n hulpfonds gestig om te help met die betaal van ekstra mediese koste wat nie deur die familie se mediesefonds betaal word nie. Mense wat graag ‘n bydrae wil maak, kan ‘n betaling, met die verwysing Koben Hof meyr Fonds, maak aan Kern & Dekker Prokureurs by Standard Bank, rekeningnommer 030429854 en Die Soutpansberg Dorpswag en die Louis Trichardt Plaaswag het nog ‘n hupstoot gekry in hul stryd teen misdaad danksy takkode 051001.

For example, Council budgeted A tar road to Bungeni R1,5 million to replace the mayoral vehicle, but no Council hopes to upgrade various roads in the district from gravel to tar in the next year. The road between Chavani and Bungeni is the most expensive project, costing an expected R18 million. To provide a tarred access road to Valdezia will cost an estimated R15 million. R15 million has also been set aside to tar the road from Piesanghoek to Khunda. Other roads to be upgraded include the Sereni Themba to Mashamba Post Office road (R2,3 million), the Tshikwarani/Manavhela access road (R1,8 million) and the Tshedza to Vuvha access road (R1,1 million). Phase 2 of the road from Mbhokota to Mphagi will be upgraded (R5 million) and the second phase of the Mudimeli bridge and access road is expected to cost R3,3 million. Funding to upgrade the roads will come from the Municipal Infrastructure Grant. Sport facilities and a landfill site Council set aside R11 million in the budget to complete phase two of the Waterval sports facility. The Kutama/Sinthumule sports facility will also receive some attention, with R700 000 budgeted Well-known gospel singer, Lufuno Dagada was also present at the Makhado mayor, Cllr Shonisani for this upgrade.

money has been set aside to buy mayoral cars for the following two years. A further R8 million has been set aside for this year to replace municipal vehicles, whereas in 2019/20 and 2020/2021, only R4 million per year is budgeted for this purpose. The budget makes provision for three sources of income, namely own income, the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) and the Integrated National Electrification Programme (INEP). Council expect to earn R78,93 million from own resources. This would mostly be the profit made from providing electricity and other services to consumers. The MIG allocation is R87,73 million, and R16,91 million is budgeted for INEP grants. Upgrade of IT systems Close to R5 million had been budgeted to upgrade the municipality’s IT infrastructure. The upgrade includes numerous aspects, such as purchasing new software and extending Internet connectivity at service points. Council set R500 000 aside to upgrade the VOIP telephone system and a further R1 million for two Disaster Recovery Plan projects. Even the councillors will have to “modernise” as R290 000 had been budgeted for phase two of the electronic distribution of agendas.

Trichardt will also get a boost. An additional cell will be constructed at an estimated cost of R3,5 million. Residents who have loved ones buried in the Makhado Municipal Cemetery will be delighted to hear that Council budgeted R2 million to erect a fence around the cemetery. R3 million has been set aside in the budget for a market revitalization project at Erf 210, Burger Street. This is the market adjacent to the Shoprite centre. New Council Chamber A new Council chamber and offices are in the pipeline and R700 000 was set aside for this purpose in the next year. This money will be used for the planning stage, and in the following two years Council expects to spend R8 million on this project. Under the “Building Maintenance” item, a few other projects stand out, including R600 000 budgeted for the renovation of the Vleifontein hall and fence. R500 000 has also been earmarked for the planning stage of a recreational facility at the N1 park next to the tourism kiosk. More money into swimming pool The municipal swimming pool will hopefully be operational again this year. The pool has not been in use for many years and hundreds of thousands of rands have been wasted in efforts to repair the facility. Council has now budgeted for another R1,1 million to have the pool repaired. R500 000 has been budgeted to develop the Dzanani Park and R1 million has been earmarked to implement a management system for the cemetery. As far as waste management is concerned, Council allocated R500 000 to rehabilitate the old landfill site. R500 000 has also been set aside to develop a carport and vehicle washing bay at the new landfill site. Council budgeted R700 000 to refurbish the Waterval Traffic Station. This includes paving the area, installing an alarm system and equipping the station with a standby power generator. Tshakhuma Fruit Market Under the Local Economic Development category, several projects will receive a capital injection in the next year. The Tshakhuma Fruit Market will see a R2,4 million development, while the Dzanani Traders Market will receive R500 000. R300 000 has been set aside to design an N1 Tourism Park. This will make provision for an arts and craft centre. In the following two years, Council hopes to spend R8 million to improve these facilities and, by doing so, promote tourism. The budget also mentions R7,5 million that has been earmarked for the re-allocation of the stadium. It does not, however, specify where the stadium is.

the course includes all meals, accommodation and course material. “Our aim is not to make money from the training day. We merely cover costs. All are welcome, irrespective of their age. We are also more than willing to adjust course fees, depending on the group of people attending,” said Tersia. To find out more about the next course, Tersia invited members of the public to contact her or any of the Rhino Connect staff members listed below. “For more information about where the course will be presented and fees, please phone or write to us. As we normally try and host the course on a rhino farm, we do not want to advertise such details,” said Tersia. For more information, contact Tersia at 083 759 1608 (tersia@rhinoconnect.co.za), Sya at 082 332 9512 (sya@rhinoconnect.co.za), Jana at 083 272 7334 (jana@rhinoconnect.co.za) or Mariska at 083 294 2994.

Showing your support for rhino conservation and getting actively involved have never been easier. Rhino Connect, a registered NPO, has invited members of the public to become actively involved with the protection of South Africa’s diminishing rhino population. The organisation has been in operation for the past two years, mainly in the Vivo area, with great success. “Rhino Connect focusses on the protection and conservation of rhinos within the private sector in South Africa. The organisation has forged close relationships over the years with private-owned wildlife conservations, protecting a wide range of animals, the majority of them listed as endangered or vulnerable,” said Rhino Connect founder and director Tersia Jooste. At present, South Africa is custodian of approximately 19 000 white rhinos, with approximately 20% of this number in private ownership. “There is a huge decline in rhino figures since 2008, with state-owned and national parks losing the most rhino per annum, mostly due to poaching, compared to privately owned rhino,” said Tersia. For this reason, said Tersia, their focus is on the private rhino owner. “The private sector invests enormous amounts in the protection and breeding of rhino, which amounts to almost 7 000 rhinos on private reserves, which at the end will prove to save the species for generations to come. The cost of protecting small populations of rhinos is colossal and, in some cases, can discourage landowners from having rhinos on their land,” said Tersia. This is where Rhino Connect aims to make a difference by providing support to private rhino owners through volunteer programmes, whereby the public can play an active role in the protection of rhino, especially during the full-moon periods when poachers are most active. To this end, Rhino Connect frequently hosts training courses that are open to the general public. These training courses, among others, include a course in tracking spoor, tactical shooting and an observation course. The next such training day will take place on 24 August. “One of our main and most successful focus areas is involving members of the public in rhino conservation efforts,” said Tersia. She added that their training days, normally scheduled from a Rhino Connect founder and director Ms Tersia Friday to a Sunday, are extremely popular, with Jooste, pictured next to a young rhino calf whole families sometimes attending.

Motorist upset after his Jaguar ends up in hole By Kaizer Nengovhela
fact that visibility is low when there is mist in the mornings makes it so much more important to drive cautiously, Bobodi said. Bobodi invited Netshifhefhe to contact the municipality and bring along the quote to fix the vehicle, along with details of any insurance claims in this regard. The option of referring it to the relevant insurers can then be discussed.
A local resident, Mr Glen Netshifhefhe, is very upset with the Makhado Municipality and he wants to hold the Council responsible for the damage inflicted on his luxury car. Netshifhefhe drove into a large hole next to Anderson Street last Thursday and his Jaguar was extensively damaged. Netshifhefhe explained this week that it was misty when he drove along Anderson Street. He said that street lights were also not working, making the area even darker. While driving along, he suddenly heard a crashing sound and then he ended up next to a tree. He realised afterwards that he had hit a huge hole that had been left open by municipal workers. He is very grateful for having survived the incident, but reckons that more should have been done to safeguard the area and indicate the danger. Netshifhefhe complained that no warning signs had been erected and that the open hole posed a danger to motorists and pedestrians. He now plans on suing the municipality and making them pay for the damage to his vehicle. The spokesperson for the Makhado Municipality, Mr Louis Bobodi, explained that workers from the municipality were busy fixing water pipes next to the street and had to dig the hole to get to the pipes. According to the information he had received, the necessary road signs had been put up to warn motorists of the danger. Bobodi said that Mr Netshifhefhe had gone to the municipality to report the incident and he had allegedly admitted that he had been driving at A municipal worker climbs into the hole next to a high speed when the car had hit the hole.

Op Dinsdag, 19 Junie, het ‘n feestelike at mosfeer geheers by Levubu Laerskool. Die skool het weer hul le gewilde jaarlikse Pajamadag aangebied. Almal het deelgeneem, insluitend al die skool se leerlinge, asook al die onderwysers. Fo to’s verskaf.
ie moeilikste plek om jou godsdiens prakties en oorwinnend uit te lewe, is in jou eie omgewing en voor jou eie mense wat jou die beste ken, waar dit nie moontlik is om toneel te speel nie. As God werklik vir jou iets gedoen het, wéét jou kennisse dit onmiddellik. As ‘n mens weet dat foutvinders en spotters jou dophou, is dit mos juis dan jou beste geleentheid om in God se krag en deur sy genade te bewys dat dit werk. Die Here Jesus het sy openbare bediening op Nasaret, die dorp waar Hy grootgeword het, begin, al het Hy self geweet en gesê dat ‘n profeet nie in sy vaderland en in sy huis geëerd is nie. Die Nasaréners was dan ook die eerstes wat Hom verwerp het toe hulle probeer het om Hom van die rots waarop hulle stad gebou was, af te gooi. Andere, soos Josef en Dawid, het ook so waardig op die veragting en teenstand van hul eie broers gereageer, dat hulle broers later daarby gebaat het en selfs deur hulle gered is. As jy God eer en jou vlag hoog laat wapper, sal ander nie nodig hê om te raai of jy gered is nie. Hy stel jou daartoe in staat, want Hy het ons mos die krag beloof om sy getuies te wees wanneer Hy ons die Heilige Gees gee (Hand. 1:8 ).

at Health Centre West Coast on Air Force Base Langebaanweg, where I met my husband,” said Lauren. Lauren said she had always had a keen interest in completing further studies in orthopaedics and hence she completed her MSc degree in orthopaedic manipulative therapy (OMT) from 2012 to 2014 at Stellenbosch University. In addition, she also completed courses in dry needling, pilates matwork, therapeutic neuroscience education and basic life support and hopes to still complete further studies in sport, ICU, orthopaedics and hydrotherapy. “Through 2014 to 2018, I worked part time for a practice in Constantiaberg Medi-Clinic, seeing primarily ICU, chest and acute rehabilitative work, as well as at other private out-patient practices, seeing primarly sports injuries and orthopaedic related conditions,” said Lauren. Lauren Jansen Physiotherapy opened in May 2016 in Langebaan, where she and her husband lived until her husband’s transfer to Air Force Base Makhado in March/April this year. Lauren said that throughout the years, she had volunteered to help sports teams with preventative programs, specific conditioning, fitness and agility, as well as general physiotherapy work with charity teams and organisations. “I believe in a holistic approach and always make use of treatment techniques that have been thoroughly researched and proven effective. I have a passion for the work I do and strongly believe that it shows,” said Lauren. Lauren’s practice is situated at the Prognos Medical Centre, sharing an office with dentist Dr Azim Ayob. For more information or a booking, phone Lauren at Tel 076 944 3112.

Die Koffie Pot is lekker aan die kook Deur Isabel Venter
Die Koffie Pot in Louis Tri chardt is behoorlik aan die kook. Hierdie nuwe koffiewinkel is al ‘n rukkie aan die gang, maar het ook onlangs hulle spyskaart uitgebrei met die toevoeging van die Challenger-burger. ‘n Mens sal ver moet soek om plaaslik nog so ‘n hamburger te kry. Die Challenger is ‘n reusagtige burger wat bestaan uit 100% tuisgemaakte maalvleispatties, kaas, jalepenos, spek, eiers, tamatie, blaarslaai en uieringe en word saam met slaptjips bedien. So genoem, verduidelik Die Koffie Pot se eienaar Karen
Bezuidenhout, omdat die uitda ging aan inwoners is om die hele burger en ‘n koeldrank klaar te maak in slegs vier minute. Die persoon wat daarin slaag se burger is op die huis en se naam kom op Die Koffiepot se “Hall of Fame”. Tot dusver is die muur nog leeg. Buiten vir hul hamburger, het Die Koffie Pot ‘n spyskaart wat ‘n wye verskeidenheid aanbied vir die hongeriges sowel as die soettande. “Ons kos word alles self gemaak en ons gebak is altyd vars. Niks kom van ‘n winkel af nie, behalwe die bestanddele,” het Karen gesê. Die Koffie Pot is geleë te Joubertstraat 26.
Wat die winkel besonders maak, is dat die koffiewinkel sy perseel deel met ander plaaslike besighede. Tans is daar leerprodukte (Wild Skins & Things), ‘n manshaarkapper (Legends Barber Shop), skilderye (Santi du Plessis), bababenodighede en glutenvrye kos. Die Koffie Pot is Maandae tot Vrydae oop vanaf 08:30 tot 17:00 en Saterdae vanaf 08:30 tot 15:00. Buiten vir hulle eerlike kuier-atmosfeer, kan Die Koffie Pot ook genader word vir vingeretes vir partytjies. Vir meer inligting, skakel Karen by tel. 071 672 1545 of besoek hul Facebook-blad, Die Koffie Pot.

Louis Trichardt joins list of Parkrun venues Health & Fitness
Louis Trichardt will soon join a group of towns and cities from across the world to buy into the unique “Parkrun” initiative. The concept of parkruns is simple: You turn up every Saturday and run 5km, or if you’re a junior, then 2km every Sunday. It doesn’t matter how fast you go and it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing. What matters is taking part. As from September, Louis Trichardt will also host parkrun events each Saturday and Sunday like in countries all around the world. Each event is based in a unique location such as a park, beach or promenade, and all events are organised by a group of our wonderful, dedicated volunteers. In Louis Trichardt’s case, one of these volunteers is Jaco Voigt. In May this year, he officially got permission from the Makhado Municipality to host these weekly park runs in the tree sanctuary between Stubbs and Songozwi Street, next to the N1.
The first ever park run was in Bushy Park, Teddington, United Kingdom, when 13 intrepid parkrunners got together on 2 October 2004. The volunteer team included Paul and Joanne Sinton-Hewitt, Duncan Gaskell, Simon Hedger and Robin Drummond. It took nearly two years before parkruns spread beyond Bushy Park. Wimbledon was the chosen venue and they had to prove to themselves that they could manage more than a single event at a time. This was the start of the ‘cookie cutter’ approach to events that would allow parkrun to expand. To begin with, they collated all results on paper and the finish tokens were washers from the local hardware store! But eventually they ramped up the technology, and so the parkrun registration and barcode result system was born. Now, many thousands of runners are processed, websites updated and emails sent each week. The parkrun community is growing all the time – but it’s all still based on the simple, basic principles
formed from the start: weekly, free, 5km, for everyone, forever. Parkruns are all about inclusiveness and well-being. Organisers want as many people as possible to feel part of a real local community, brought together by parkrun events, as well as the global parkrun family. To date, 18 240 parkrun events have been hosted at 145 locations. The average kilometres covered at each event is 299.7 and the average runtime is 40 minutes and 45 seconds. At present, the female record holder is Jenna Challenor, who completed the 5km run in 16 minutes and 35 seconds in August 2013, while Amos Nyongo is the male record holder, completing the distance in 14 minutes and two seconds in June 2018. In total, 542 955 runners from across the world compete in the parkruns, representing 1 882 clubs. In Limpopo, the only other parkruns are hosted in Polokwane, Leeupoort and Mogol. For more information about Louis Trichardt’s own parkrun, phone Jaco at Tel 084 616 2299.
