Boozed-up would-be thief’s antics on security cameras makes for hilarious viewing, before falling asleep
Don’t drink and steal By Isabel Venter
A thirsty wouldbe thief learned this week that burglary and booze do not mix. The suspect, in his search for some liquid refreshment, broke into the Tops at Spar liquor store here in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The suspect, who can not be identified, was left with a second headache when police arrested him at the scene. After a short rampage around the bottle store, the man fell asleep and was discovered later by employees of Spar. “My heart gave a jump when I realised the suspect was still in the shop,” said Spar manager Mr Luke Enslin on Monday. “The suspect even recognised me!” In what could probably be described as a sheer lack of criminal professionalism, the suspect, of medium build and height, smashed the front glass door of the shop clearly in an boozed-up haze. The whole incident was caught on Tops’s security cameras. (A short video clip of the footage can be viewed on our website at www.zoutpansberger.co.za). At around 04:30, the suspect enters through the broken door. The alarm system is not working at this stage, and the suspect can continue his booze cruise uninterrupted. Pleased with his feat, he makes gestures with his hands, seemingly talking to an imaginary friend. The man then walks over to one of the fridges at the back of the store, helping himself to a quart of beer. Cue the party music, because after this
the sloshed man whoops it up and starts dancing. From the fridge he walks back to the front of the store, showing off his moves in the silence of the night. From the video footage it might seem, however, that he possibly thinks he is in a strip club because he starts to take off his pants and shake his bum and private parts at the camera. This dancing continues for about 20 minutes before he picks up his cell phone, which has fallen to the ground in the meantime, and makes himself comfortable behind one of the cash registers. Here the man grabs a halfjack of Klipdrift brandy and cigarettes, all the while talking to the cash register in front of him. Eventually, the tipsy suspect, still sitting in the chair, falls asleep and topples over the cash register. Here he is discovered at around 06:00 by Enslin. After discovering the burglary, and afraid that some of the more expensive liquor might have been stolen, Enslin was trying to assess the damage in the store when he found the sleeping suspect. “We were quite surprised. It is not every day that you still find the perpetrator at the scene of the crime,” said Enslin. It would later be revealed that, apart from the broken glass, the alcohol that the suspect had consumed totalled about R80. The alarm system has also been fixed. Since Video Sunday’s incident, the newspaper was able Clip to determine that the man was released on Monday without formally being charged by the police. Apparantly the man is mentally Eventually, the buzzed suspect, still sitting in the chair, falls asleep and topples over the cash register.

Health education for mother and child With August being women’s month, there could not be a more appropriate time for the opening of the new Mother and Child Clinic in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). The clinic, which is managed by expert registered nurse Yolanda Mphilo, specializes in the advancement of the health of mother and child. Yolanda is a specialized nurse who has complet-
ed her four-year-diploma as a registered nurse at the Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital in Johannesburg. Following her first diploma, she also completed a two-year diploma at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and qualified as a neonatal ICU nurse. In her spare time, Yolanda offers expert advice on pregnancy and baby matters to the Your Pregnancy magazine and Great Expectations on eTV. When she moved to Makhado (Louis Trichardt) at the beginning of the year, she decided to open her own practice to enable her to give back to her community. She offers antenatal classes, consultations, pre- and postnatal care and immunizations. “Health education is very important to ensure a happy and healthy pregnancy,” says Yolanda. According to Yolanda, not a lot of new and young mothers realize the importance of immunizations, or even those mothers who are HIV-positive. For these services most mothers usually return to their gynaecologist, and they are usually expensive and do not always have enough time to give proper instructions, says Yolanda. Other services that Yolanda offers include school outreaches and counselling. Her practice is situated at the Quality Care Clinic Complex in Grobler Street. From Mondays to Fridays, the Mother and Child Clinic will be open from Yolanda Mphilo, expert nurse and owner 08:00 until 17:00. On Saturdays, the clinic will of the Mother and Child Clinic.

Once the best, now no place for many to rest
The dilapidated state of the caravan park in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), once voted the best caravan park in South Africa and being highly recommended by the Automobile Association (AA), is evident from Songozwi Street. Floods washed away the southern security fence earlier this year and, months later, it has still not been repaired. During the flood in 2000, the same fence washed away and it took the municipality years to repair.

Will the municipal caravan park in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) ever again live up to its repu tation of once being voted the best caravan park in South Africa? Many frequent visitors to the caravan park seriously doubt this, with the number of loyal caravaners opting to stop over dwindling fast. One such frequent caravaner who thinks it is not worth ever returning, despite supporting the caravan park for the past 20 years, is Mr Rod Clark from Witriver. Clark and his wife stayed at the caravan park for one evening in July. They arrived after hours and when they wanted to pay the R35 per person per night (R70 in total), there was no one on duty who could assist him. Clark says he was informed by a security guard that he should go and pay at the municipal offices in Krogh Street, but when he asked the guard to direct him to the offices, the guard could not assist him. The couple then decided to go and pay the next day. Their bad experience was, however, only starting. According to Clark, the caravan park and facilities were extremely dirty and the stench of raw sewage was overwhelming. The stench was even worse to the north of the park where “a river of sewage” (as Clark put it) was flowing. There was also no hot water in the ablution and shower facilities and when his wife went to the ladies toilet, it was full of men. This, obviously, upset Clark immensely with regard to the safety of his wife. Apart from the poor and dangerous state of the ablution facilities, Mr Clark says that there were also almost no braai facilities left. The dilapidated state of the caravan park prompted Clark to phone the municipality’s emergency numbers. Clark was outraged by the response he received. He says he was sent from pillar to post by a very arrogant official. One, he says, very arrogant-
ly wanted to know why he wanted hot water, while another chewed him out “why he only complained after they stayed there!” Following the Clarks’ stay at the caravan park, he has indicated that he will not leave the matter there and says that he intends to write to one of South Africa’s most prominent outdoor caravan and camping magazines to discourage travellers from staying over at the municipal caravan park. Municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi responded last week by admitting that the municipal caravan park is in need of refurbishment, with regard to the ageing of the water and sewerage system, among others. “During the 2012/13 financial year, maintenance of all the facilities will be done through the general maintenance budget. We have full-time personnel deployed to service and clean the caravan park and, although we do have some challenges, our caravan park is in a usable state,” said Bobodi. Regarding the issue of on-site payment, Bobodi said that the municipality used to have a cashier during the day and even after office hours. “But usually the cashier will sit in the office for the whole day without doing anything and the frequency of the visits made by customers is very low. The overtime created thereof was very high and we decided to have visitors come to the municipal offices for payment of their accommodation,” said Bobodi. He added that the cost-benefit analysis of transactions at the caravan park was not favourable to the municipality, “hence the action taken to have payments made at the civic centre.” As for the treatment Clark said he received from municipal officials, Bobodi said they had already spoken and apologised to Clark about the alleged ill behaviour meted out to him by one of their officials. “We are investigating the matter further,” Bobodi said.

Claim of 7% increase is ridiculous - SRPA
“To say that electricity tariffs increased by 7% is ridiculous. The increase has been 30 to 40% because the municipality did not correct their electricity reading system before implementing the new sliding-scale tariffs.” This was the response of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) with regard to the Makhado Municipality’s new electricity billing system. They added that the municipality was making a mockery of the new scales by reading electricity consumption once in two months. As a result, consumers have a very high reading, which places them in the most expensive bracket of the new system. “We shall insist that the electricity be billed correctly,” said the chairperson of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association, Ms Inga Gilfillan. Media queries on the same topic posed to the Makhado Municipality on 5 August have not been answered as yet. The 7% electricity increase was announced by the mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, in his annual budget speech on 29 June in Vuwani. The SRPA also responded to several issues mentioned in the address. “We cannot afford to fold our arms and leave our town dilapidated. Remember, our town is the main source of income and we need to continue improving it, so that it can help us develop other areas,” the mayor said in his speech, referring to Makhado (Louis Trichardt). The Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) responded by saying that there was no indication that enough money was being spent on preventing dilapidation in town. “No specific mention was made of maintenance of the existing electricity network and maintenance Die Graad 0-klassie van die CVO Vivo is besoek deur juf.

year’s budget. The SRPA does not agree with the mayor’s announcement that they had met most of their obligations. “According to our observations, not even a small percentage of the obligations have been met,” said Gilfillan. Concerning the mayor’s referral to crime, the SRPA said that farm attacks were not mentioned. “Farm attacks are a reality in our country and have not been openly condemned,” Gilfillan said. The mayor lauded the doing away of the “willing-buyer-willing-seller” principle in land redistribution and expressed his thanks to the ANC delegates who “at the Mangaung conference found it befitting that owners cannot continue to negotiate what was stolen from them”. The SRPA said that these types of political statements created a climate for crime and land grabbing. Communication remains a thorn in the flesh for the SRPA. “Of the 300 letters written by the SRPA to the municipality, we received 16 written answers,” they said, referring to the fact that it was said in the address that the municipality took communication very seriously. Gilfillan questions the Makhado Municipality’s understanding of the concept “public participation”. “Recently, a representation of the SRPA visited the director of planning and development and members of the delegation were told to leave the room, so that the director could talk to the members one on one. That is not public participation,” Gilfillan said. The SRPA, along with the DA, condemned the statement “We intend to freeze all accounts for all residence[sic] in R293 townships as a way of enabling them to start paying from the first of August …” Gilfillan said that the SRPA would like a clarification of that statement. “Why doesn’t the municipality just exercise normal credit control measures?” Gilfillan asked.
“Municipality is making a mockery of the new scales by reading electricity consumption once in two months. As a result, consumers have a very high reading, which places them in the most expensive bracket of the new system”

Legendariese Oom Piet oorlede ná kort siekbed
‘n Pragtige olieverfskildery van ´n kre metart deur skilder Piet de Vaal. Hy laat meer as 100 kunswerke agter. Foto verskaf.

Een van die legendes van die verre noorde van Suid-Afrika, bekende skilder en skrywer, oud-burgemeester en -prokureur Petrus (Piet) Hendrik Carel de Vaal (90) het na ‘n kort siekbed die tuig op 15 Augustus finaal neergelê. Die gemeenskap treur saam met die familie dat ‘n reuse kremetartboom inderdaad gesterf het. As skilder is Piet de Vaal bekend as “meester van die kremetartboom” en laat hy meer as 100 kuns werke agter. Een van sy vyf dogters, Inarié (van Johannesburg) het ‘n besonderse album saamgestel met kleurafdrukke van oom Piet se kunswerke. Inarié onthou met deernis hoe haar pa voor sy huis in President Steynstraat gesit en skilder het en sy die verfkwassies skoongemaak het. Volgens dogter Milda Stanton van Pretoria, straal die grootste liefde vir die Soutpansberg uit sy ongeëwenaarde kunswerke van die bosveld en sy kremetartbome. “Dit is nie moeilik om die vergelyking tussen pa en een van hierdie bosveld reuse raak te sien nie: hy maak sy stelling stil en statig, is een met sy omgewing en dra by tot die betekenis en skoonheid daarvan. Hy dwing gesag af, maar nie sonder daardie kenmerkende sagtheid wat die kremetartboom se buitelyne afrond nie. Belangrikste van alles: hy laat hom nie verplant nie. Waar hy geplaas is, sal hy vas bly staan omdat hy daar hoort en glo dat hy met ‘n doel daar geplaas is,” skryf Milda in haar voorwoord van ‘n publikasie van oom Piet se vertellings. Die boek Die dorp Louis Trichardt het in 1986 uit oom Piet se pen verskyn en het vanjaar ‘n tweede druk beleef. Oom Piet skryf dat die doel van dié boek is om ‘n “bydrae te lewer in kultuurvorm tot die bekendstelling van ons dorp en sy veelbewoë maar tog interessante verlede.” Oom Piet de Vaal was ‘n boorling van die Soutpansberg in murg en been. Hier gebore op 19 Maart 1923, het hy by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt tot standerd 8 skoolgegaan en gematrikuleer aan die Pietersburgse Hoërskool, omdat Louis Trichardt in daardie stadium nog nie matriek aangebied het nie. Hy begin in 1941 werk as leerling-klerk by die
prokureurs Rooth en Coxwell op Louis Trichardt. As prokureur behartig hy vir twee jaar die firma se kantore in die destydse Messina, maar na mnr. Rooth se dood in 1952, kry hy die adjunk-baljupos in Louis Trichardt en begin sy eie prokureurspraktyk, wat hy tot en met 1985 bestuur. Oom Piet het op talle rade gedien, insluitend beheerrade van drie skole, die kerkraad en die hospitaalraad. Hy was ‘n stigterslid van die Soutpansberg Sakekamer en die Rapportryerskorps. “Hy het vreeslik baie vergaderings gehad om by te woon en was ‘n baie harde werker,” onthou sy oudste dogter, Linette van der Merwe, wat plaaslik woon. Van 1958 tot 1962 was oom Piet ‘n raadslid van die Louis Trichardt Stadsraad en vir amper drie jaar was hy die burgemeester van die dorp. In daardie tyd was daar nog septiese tenks en nagkarre. As burgemeester het rdl. De Vaal hard gewerk om die rioolskema van die dorp te vestig en water vanaf die Albasinidam aan te lê. Tussendeur het oom Piet geboer op die plaas Goedehoop, net oos van die oorspronklike Goede wensch van die pionier Joao Albasini. Die De Vaals is aangetroude familie van die Albasini’s. Dogter Caromin Louw van Engeland onthou haar pa se liefde vir diere en hoe hy met sy beeste gekommunikeer het asof hulle kinders was. “My pa het stoute ape wat vrugte gesteel het, in hokke gevang, lank vir hulle ‘gepreek’ en dan weer losgelaat!” vertel Caromin. Piet de Vaal is op 28 Desember 1946 in die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente getroud. Sy bruid, Marietjie (Maria Isabella), het hom na 56 jaar se getroude lewe ontval. “Die laaste hoorbare woord wat hy geuiter het, was ‘Isabella’, my 10-jarige dogter se naam. Ek sal hom onthou vir sy wysheid, lojaliteit, nederigheid, eerlikheid en opregtheid,” sê sy laatlam, Pétria. Wyle Piet de Vaal laat vyf dogters, 11 kleinkinders en vier agterkleinkinders na. Sy roudiens word op Saterdag, 24 Augustus, om 15:00 deur dr. Philip Venter waargeneem in die NG Kerk Soutpansberg, waar oom Piet vir 53 jaar gemeentelid was.

“They showed complete lack of consideration” The Louis Trichardt Ministers Forum this week added their voice to the countless other voices expressing growing frustration with regard to the annual Makhado Show. The show, which took place from 1 to 4 August, once again caused many a resident a sleepless night. In view of the disturbance, and seeing that the show was extended to Sunday this year, the local Ministers Forum addressed the issue on 13 August during their weekly fraternal meeting and issued a statement. “It is a given that the annual show will take place, and this to promote the town and other vested interests; with this the forum does not have a problem. The problems arise when there is a total lack of respect for others in the town with regard to the noise that was produced at this event,” the Forum states. They say they have to question the planning of such an event, taking into account the municipal rules and regulations for holding such an event. “The general rule applies, namely that what is good for one person is just as good for the other, regardless of position or group represented, and these rules need to be obeyed at all times,” says the Forum. The Forum adds that the fact that the show was allowed to continue on a Sunday, which is traditionally a day of worship for many religious groups, presents a problem. “The fact that the Good Lord sent rain during the period of worship was a blessing in disguise - this allowed the services in various churches to continue undisturbed by the loud music and allowed for a few hours of peace and quiet. Added to this is the fact that there was
no proper advertising that this event would continue on a Sunday and if there was, it was done very discreetly - hence there were no objections for the show committee to observe and address,” says the Forum. The Forum says that, added to this frustration that the residents have to bear each and every year, is the letter posted by “A concerned and upset resident (Eltivillas)” in the Zoutpansberger of 9 August in which they also lodged a complaint regarding the noise. “A point to note is they made contact with the police and were told to ‘take it up with the municipality’. This is unacceptable! Surely it is the duty of the SAPS to maintain law and order of the community/society? Their duty is to uphold the laws of the municipality, as well those of the country,” says the Forum. The Forum states that the rules are there for the protection of all citizens and not a few select as seems to be the order of the day. “The unknown letter writer also made mention of the fact they were celebrating Ramadan and the total lack of consideration shown for this attests to the fact that there was no proper planning, control or even thought for others around the show grounds,” says the Forum. The Forum requested to have a face-to-face meeting with the show committee, in which they will be afforded the opportunity to respond, as well as to be included in any future planning of events of this nature. “This will help to pave the way forward,” says the Forum. They indicated that they would also like to meet face to face with the mayor “to hear his side of the story”.

Veterinary Services warns against NCD The provincial department of agriculture’s veterinary lab oratory services have warned poultry farmers, especially racing-pigeon owners, to make sure their birds are vaccinated against the dreaded Newcastle Disease (NCD). Dr Piet Loock, veterinary laboratory services’ manager, issued an urgent press release on Monday, stating that their Makhado-branch had investigated two reports on an unusual phenomenon around the Alldays/ Venetia mine area. Farmers reported great numbers of wild pigeons being affected. The birds appeared to be
very lethargic, partly paralysed and died in large numbers in their roosting places or where they sat on the ground. “One owner remarked that it literally ‘rained pigeons’. Live birds were found on the ground or on the roads and they seemed to be unable to fly away or avoid being run over by cars,” says Loock. Necropsy findings were highly suggestive of Newcastle disease (NCD). The Onderstepoort Veterinary Laboratory confirmed pigeon paramyxovirus (which is Newcastle disease) in samples forwarded to them. “Apart from poultry, NCD can affect other wild birds like
pigeons, guinea fowl, pheasants, partridges, etc. Tame pigeons are also highly susceptible. Many kept-bird species are also susceptible but most just develop sub-clinical infections without any major symptoms. One general exception is cockatiels, which can also die acutely,” says Loock. With the warning that poultry farmers should have their birds vaccinated, Loock also reminded pigeon owners that certain commercial NCD vaccines for pigeons require a mandatory rest period after vaccination. He also kindly requested the public to report any unusual bird deaths to their nearest state veterinarian.

Beware of prison job scam, warns SACM
The four-year-old Mpho Raulinga from Small Talk Pre-primary School in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) munches on her pizza that she made herself. Roman´s Pizza sponsored their pizza as part of an educational programme about food.
Left: This group of toddlers from the Small Talk Pre-primary School in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) visted Roman´s Pizza recently and learned how to make their own pizza. At the back with the children are, from left to right, Suzan Mashele (assistant teacher), Mornica Ralutanda and Ellion Mudau, both from Roman´s Pizza, and Danel Barnard, a teacher from Small Talk.
The South African Custodial Management com pany, operating as Kutama-Sinthumule Correc tional Centre in Makhado, warned members of the public to watch out for a job scam which is doing the rounds. According to the prison director Mr Lazarus Nconwane, it came to the prison management’s attention on 13 August that there is a person in the community who claims to be the facility’s recruitment agent. “This person promises unsuspecting people jobs in the prison, at a fee,” said Nconwane. “He charges R3 000 and requests the job seekers to deposit money at Shoprite where he would then collect it.” Apparently one lady fell victim to the scam after she was promised a clerk’s position at the prison. Her husband deposited the R3 000 at the Shoprite/ Checkers money market. “The poor lady had to resign from her job in Gauteng in order to come to take up the clerk’s job in Makhado, because the
place is near her home,” explained Nconwane. He said that the lady decided to quit her previous job for the said new one at the prison, without even attending any interview or completing any application forms. “We want to warn the public about this scam. There might be other people who have become victims of the scam,” he said. SACM follow standard recruitment procedures when there is a vacant post. “We place an advert which also carries our SACM logo, a contact person and a landline number, in newspapers,” he explained. “Then candidates who meet the requirements will be called for interviews, and if they are successful they will be notified as such.” According to Nconwane, people do not pay to be employed at the facility, either as clerks or correctional officers. “If any person asks for payment, members of the public must know that it is a scam. Such people can be reported at the prison or at the nearest police station,” he concluded.
Court News
Two sentenced to life after “muti” murder Two men have been jailed for life by the Polokwane High Court for an apparent muti killing. The two, Tendi Mafune and Azwitamisi Tshililo, tried to sell the body parts of the 28-year-old Khathutshelo Tharage to a traditional healer during December 2010. Tharage’s body was discovered near Siloam in a bush on 22 December of that year. He had been stabbed to death.
According to provincial police spokesperson Col Ronel Otto, the traditional healer refused to buy human body parts when Mafune, Tshililo and a third suspect came to him with an offer. He notified the police about the trio, which led to the discovery of Tharage’s remains. “Tharage was found with multiple stab wounds and his genitals were tied with a shoe lace,” Otto said. No other body parts of
Tharage had been removed. The third suspect, Maluta Matamba, who was arrested shortly afterwards with Mafune and Tshililo, pleaded guilty during January 2011. He was also sentenced to life imprisonment by the Polo kwane Magistrate’s Court. Mafune and Tshililo pleaded not guilty and had to be tried se parately. They were found guilty and both received life sentences on Tuesday, 13 August.

Kinders ondersteun DBV Die Dierebeskermingsvereniging (DBV) van Makhado (LouisTrichardt) het ‘n welkome skenking van die leerlinge van Laerskool Louis Trichardt ontvang. Die Triegies het ‘n bedrag van R1 200 ingesamel, nadat elke onderwyser ‘n spesiale blikkie in die klas gehou het vanaf 5 tot 16 Augustus. Die fondsinsameling vir die DBV was die skool se welwillendheidsprojek vir die kwartaal. Klein Junior Bessong, ‘n Graad 2 leerling, het die koevert aan mnr. Khodobo oorhandig. Ansonett Oosthuyzen, ook ‘n Graad 2 leerling, vertel dat sy van haar sakgeld vir die DBV gespaar het. “Ons gaan dit gebruik om hondekos en katkos te
koop. Ons waardeeer wat hulle vir ons gedoen het, aangesien ons uitsuitlik van donasies afhanklik is,” het mnr. Lawrence Khodobo, senior inspekteur van die plaaslike DBV op 19 Augustus gesê. Khodobo het voorts gesê dat daar tans ‘n aantal opteldiere by die DBV gehuisves word, waaronder vyf of ses worshondjies. “Mense kan kom kyk of dit hulle diere is. Verder kan mense wat diere wil aanneem, die aansoekvorms wat by die kantoor te kry is, kom invul,” het Khodobo gesê. Die DBV se landlyn is heeltemal buite werking, al klink dit vir die persoon wat skakel asof die telefoon lui. Khodobo vra dat die gemeenskap asseblief die selnommer 082 965 5151 gebruik.

Brief
Wees stil broers, hier het ‘n man verbygegaan ...
O
om Piet
Ek het Piet de Vaal ontmoet toe ek in 1994 by De Vaal, Myburgh en Van Heerden aangesluit het as prokureur. Hy het nie meer gepraktiseer as sulks nie. Ek het hom ervaar as ‘n ernstige, opregte en reguit mens, baie goed gemanierd. Die Engelse sou sê “ Prim and Proper”. Ek het hom egter regtig leer ken toe ek saam met hom waardasies gedoen het, die hele Soutpansberg-distrik vol. Die eerste wat my sal bybly, is dat hy ‘n ware heer was. Sowat van goeie maniere het ek nog nie weer teëgekom nie. Al was hy diep in die sewentig sou hy opstaan as ‘n dame ‘n vertrek instap en eers gaan sit wanneer sy sit. Sou sy weer opstaan, het Oom Piet dieselfde gedoen. Hy het altyd ‘n baadjie gedra as hy met die publiek werk, al was dit in die somer op ‘n bosveldplaas. Sy hoed sou hy lig of dit ‘n man, dame of kind was wat hy groet. Geen wonder nie dat hy by almal respek afgedwing het nie. Maar die feit dat hy ‘n heer was, het nie beteken dat jy oor hom kon loop nie. So het hy ‘n paar mense wat by die waardasies wou inmeng die mond gesnoer. Die een tannie het bly inmeng en vooruit geloop en vertel hoe waardevol dit en
dat is. Sy was uiters irriterend. Oom Piet het vasgesteek, haar vierkant in die oë gekyk en gesê: “Mevrou, u het my aange stel om die waardasie uit te voer. Nou wil dit my voorkom of u die waardasie wil doen. Sal ons gaan en ons rekening vir u stuur?” Hierna was sy tjoepstil. ‘n Ander man het weer dwarsgeskop, alhoewel hy nie die opdraggewer was nie. Oom Piet het gaan staan hom in die oë gekyk en gesê: “ Moet ek gaan en u werkgewer laat weet dat u my nie hier toelaat nie? Dan gaan ek maar en stuur my rekening met ‘n nota vir hom.” Einde van die moeilikheid. Vir Oom Piet was daar ook net twee maniere van doen. Reg of verkeerd. Nadat ek hom al jare ken moet hy ‘n verklaring aflê. Hy kom by my aan om dit te beëdig. Ek vra hom om te teken en dan sal ek die nodige stempel aanbring. Oom Piet vra gaan ek hom nie die eed oplê nie? Ek sê maar ek ken Oom mos goed en Oom weet mos wat dit is. Die volgende oom blik lê Oom Piet homself die eed op, waarna hy teken. Al was hy ernstig van geaardheid, het hy tog ‘n goeie humorsin gehad en was hy skerpsinnig. So merk ek tydens ‘n waardasie op dat Oom Piet bleek is en uit ‘n buitekraan water drink. Ek ken hom nie so nie. Ek vra wat is fout en hy

sê hy is baie naar en voel siek. Ek bied aan om hom huis toe te neem en die waardasie te voltooi. Met die groetslag maak ek ‘n grappie en sê ek hoop nie Oom is swanger nie. Oom Piet reageer nie en ek is dadelik spyt. Miskien waardeer hy nie so iets nie. Later bel ek om te hoor hoe dit gaan. Sê Oom Piet: “Heelwat beter dankie vriend. Ek het ‘n aborsie gehad.” Maar Oom Piet se passie was die streek en sy mense. Daarom het hy geskilder en boeke oor die streek geskryf. Soos ons by plase aangedoen het, het hy my kortliks die geskiedenis van die mense vertel. Ek het dit nie altyd geglo nie en afgemaak as oumensstories, maar telkens het die families bevestig wat Oom Piet van hulle geweet en onthou het. Wat my ook altyd sal bybly, is dat Oom Piet nooit ‘n koppie tee sou aanvaar totdat ons nie eers gewerk het nie. As ons ver moes reis, het hy ook altyd opgedaag met ‘n mandjie bedek met ‘n lappie. Hierin was tee en ‘n broodjie en ‘n tafeldoek. Die tafeldoek sou hy eers op die enjinkap oopgooi, die tee skink en dan die broodjie aanbied. Maar nou moet u weet dat Oom Piet ‘n skraal man was. Ek nie. En oom Piet het nie gemors nie. So, ek het net een broodjie gekry, wat net my eetlus aangewakker het. En dan is iets waarvan jy nie meer kan kry nie mos so vrek lekker. Ja, dit was my voorreg om Oom Piet te kon ken, met hom saam te werk, te gesels oor die streek, sy mense en die skilderkuns waarvoor hy so lief was. Daar is nie meer sulke mense oor, so goed gemanierd en so opreg nie. Die streek is armer sonder hom. Daar het ‘n man verbygegaan ...

Letter
When there is more consideration others may also attend this show This letter is a follow-up to last week’s letter of Anonymous, titled “Everything is not fine with the two shows being held in Makha do”
M
r Anonymous, you are dead right, there is something wrong with two shows being held in Louis Trichardt, but let’s consider the following facts. I was born in this town and grew up here. I could remember a time when we as a family looked forward every year to attend the annual Louis Trichardt Show. Every year there was always something new and exciting. The show gates closed around 20:00 every night and although there where live shows and bands playing, the decibels were always at a more considered level. Drinking was restricted to only the beer garden, and even there the people attending were disciplined and law abiding. Since the new show organizers took over, they managed to transform the original show into a barbarian’s fest with loads of liquor and endless noise until the wee hours in the morning. Stall owners who make their living traveling from show to festival setting up their stalls and selling their merchandise, are not attending the annual Makhado Show Brief
any more, because their merchandise gets stolen and vandalized. The organisers do not cater for all cultures and there is not enough security to protect these cultures against victimization. When the organisers start considering other cultures in their planning of the event, then we will gladly attend the annual show. But, somehow, I do not think that is going to happen in the near future. By saying that “one tribe does not believe in the preamble of the constitution of the Republic of South Africa” you reflect a totally misguided conception. A comment closer to the truth would have been “some tribes do not believe in undisciplined behaviour while consuming alcohol and listening to loud music until the early morning hours.” You are welcome next year when the CVO School is going to hold yet another “In die Berg Fees” to come and have a look at how other cultures are organising and maintaining a festival/show. We all must live and work in South Africa and to have respect for each other’s cultures and beliefs will go a long way towards building a better future. (Letter shortened – Ed)
Letter
There’s no hidden agenda here, but perhaps you should be standing up
T
he neglect to respond to the letter of “anonymous” in the newspaper, dated 16 August 2013, would probably generate only one of two conclusions. On the one hand, that the content be regarded with disdain, or on the other, that the readers are at a loss for a response. Since neither of these is remotely true, please accept my response. The author has chosen to take this issue to the public domain, therefore must accept a response there also. Firstly, had the author taken the trouble to ascertain the facts he/ she would have discovered that the Inniberg Fees had set the date about 10 months ago (a necessity for booking singers), and that the chosen date had been advertised since March in this newspaper. The Inniberg Fees is by no means a breakaway show, it is simply a fundraiser for a local school. I may point out that this time of the year is popular in our climate for similar events, and true to any vibrant community, Makhado enjoys many activities, events and performances for the benefit of the public. It is inevitable that some may overlap, as I am confident the organisers of - Freddie de Swardt the Makhado Show will testify. So, sorry, no points for trying to expose a hidden agenda here. Which brings us to hidden agendas? What could the author hope to gain with such ill-considered and opinionated verbosity? Unity? Hardly! Declining your gallant and brave (anonymous) directive to take the road to hell, hell and hell, let waardes en gedragskodes kan nie me bring your attention to another verskoon word nie. As minderjarige quote of Steven Bantu Biko: “Merekinders hul die reg toe-eien om ly by describing yourself as black gewelddadig en onopgevoed op te you have started on a road towards tree, dan dink ek moet hulle ook leer emancipation..” What the true daar is verantwoording te doen en champions of equality understand is dat daar gevolge is vir sulke gedrag the multi-culturalism of a rainbow (ek verstout my om te sê dalk het nation. While you flippantly quote sodanige ouers ook ‘n les nodig). Letter Dit is moeilik genoeg vir ons kinders in hul daaglikse omgewing om positief te bly.

Goeie maniere, goeie waardes en respek teenoor ander, is inteendeel volgens wat ons daagliks aanskou, nog net in woordeboeke te vinde. Hoe regverdig ‘n mens jou kind se barbaarse gedrag wanneer dit neerkom op uiterste skaamtelose boewery en “hooliganism”?

this adjective, you fail to see the promise, supernatural influence, diversity and beauty that this term conveys, which physically, is simply the way similar water particles reflect the same light they receive, in different colours. Diverse cultures, languages and associations should not only be accepted, but embraced. If you are going to substantiate your argument with quotations, partial or full, you must give credit to the origin, and not distort the meaning. It was also Steve Biko who said “So as a prelude whites must be made to realise that they are only human, not superior. Same with Blacks. They must be made to realise that they are also human, not inferior.” You omitted the initial words “so as a prelude” (and that these are Biko’s words, not yours). After 19 years of universal suffrage, this appeal has been served, swallowed and digested. I doubt there are many blacks who regard themselves as inferior (perhaps I am exceptionally privileged in associating only with the few thousand who confidently don’t). To infer this inferiority complex and the need to address it now is an insult to the aspirations and achievements of the multitudes of citizens of our country. If any tendency is to be challenged, it is that of under-achievers who cry ‘oppression, oppression, oppression’ at their every failure. You conclude with the quote of Martin Luther King: “A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent”. I encourage you to meditate on those words. Stand up, man! Stand up for your own; your culture, your heritage, your language, your people, your faith. Be proud. And be gracious enough to grant others the same. - Gerrit du Toit (Makhado / Louis Trichardt)

that we have the right to associate with whom we want. The last place an Indian or white person wants to find themselves is among hoards of pushing, loud, misbehaving and littering people. We don’t like your music or the volume at which you play it. None of this is intended to offend you, nor is it an attempt to belittle you. It is simply the truth and an attempt to explain to you why we don’t want to attend the Makhado show. You hi-jacked it and turned it into something else and it no longer has any value for us. You are welcome to have your annual show; the purpose of it is now up to you as it is certainly not an agricultural show. Culture of any tribe is something of value, something that gives a group of people their identity. It encompasses many things … and after the terrible, disgusting state in which the showgrounds were left, looking like a rubbish dump, I trust you get my point as to why there was a second show.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe Eensaamheid - Matteus 27:27-54
O
m eensaam te wees is nie ‘n lekker gevoel nie. Ek is seker almal van ons het al eensaamheid gevoel. Wanneer ons so voel moet ons in gebed na Christus gaan en Hom vertel van ons eensaamheid. Hy verstaan hoe ons voel, want Hy het eensaamheid ervaar wat ons nooit sal ondervind nie. Toe Jesus gevange geneem is, het Sy dissipels Hom verlaat. Toe Jesus Sy vriende nodig gehad het, was Hy alleen. In Matt. 26 lees ons van Petrus wat drie keer ontken het dat hy ‘n vriend van Jesus is. Maar die grootste straf wat Jesus vir ons moes dra, was dat Sy gemeenskap met die Vader verbreek is. God die Vader keer Sy Seun die rug toe Hy sonde word, vir ons, aan die kruis. Daar aan die kruis, terwyl Hy ons sondes op Hom geneem het, roep Hy uit: “My God, My God, waarom het U my verlaat.” Dit is waar dat Jesus deur God verlaat is, sodat ons, Sy wedergebore kinders, nooit verlate sal wees nie. Ons sal nooit alleen wees nie, want Jesus het gesê: “Ek sal jou nooit verlaat nie, jou nooit in die steek laat nie.” (Hebreërs 13:5). Dit is ‘n wonderlike belofte. Wat ‘n wonderlike Saligmaker, wat nooit teruggaan op Sy Woord nie. - 079 5168303 Voorkeur word gegee aan kort briewe oor plaaslike aangeleent hede.

Hierdie gas nie welkom in die Soutpansberg nie ‘n Onwelkome gas het sy intrek geneem in die Soutpansberg-streek. Dit is nou te sê die Kaapse heuningby. Byeboere in die streek het vandeesweek dié nuus aan die groot klok gehang. Ten spyte van talle waarskuwings, sê die boere, is daar sowat vier maande gelede lêende Kaapse werkerbye op die plaas van mnr. Quintin Otto waargeneem. Dié bye is glo afkomstig van besmette korwe uit die suide van Suid-Afrika. Die nuus is nie net onrusbarend vir plaaslike byeboere nie, maar ook vir gewasprodusente, veral dié in die Levubu-vallei. Volgens mnr. Charlie Gerber, wat die griewe gelug het namens al die kontrei se byeboere, veroorsaak die Kaapse-by die totale ineenstoring van die Afrika-bykolonies in wilde sowel as bestuurde swerms. Dit gebeur gewoonlik, verduidelik Gerber, wanneer die Kaapse-by se werkers by ‘n Afrika-swerm intrek. Omdat die Kaapse werkerby kan eiers lê, het Onder is die donker, swart Kaapse-bye en bo in die foto is ´n voorbeeld van ´n Afrika-by. Foto dit die gevolg dat die Afrika-by sy eie koningin sal doodmaak en die Kaapse-by as sy nuwe koningin verskaf. aanvaar. Ongelukkig kan die nuwe “vals” koningin nie die swerm in stand hou nie en dit het tot gevolg dat die Afrika-swerm geleidelik uitsterf en net die Kaapse-bye oorbly.

dus ook later uitsterf en daar sal geen bye wees vir bestuiwing óf heuningproduksie nie. Gerber, en ander byeboere, het ‘n beroep gedoen op die samewerking van gewasboere in die omge wing om die omvang van die besmetting te bepaal. “Ons moet die omvang van ons probleem kan bepaal, sodat ons voorsorg kan tref om die besmetting te probeer stuit,” het Gerber gesê. Tans, sê Gerber, maak die meeste boere in die omgewing gratis gebruik van byeboere se dienste. Daar is egter van die plaaslike boere wat byeboere van elders af huur en sodoende word Kaapse besmette swerms in die streek ingebring. “Onskuldige en bedagsame boere gaan nou gestraf word vir die ondeurdagte dade van ander.” Gerber sê die enigste manier om die besmetting te voorkom, is om soveel moontlik van die besmette swerms op te spoor en te vernietig. ‘n Vinnige toets wat boere kan doen om te bepaal of hulle swerms besmet is, is om tweeweekliks kaste na te gaan. Kaapse-werkerbye is byvoorbeeld geheel en al swart, terwyl die Afrika-by geel en swart is. Op die heuningkoek self, sal boere opmerk dat nie al die “selletjies” gevul is nie en dat die werkerby ‘n klompie eiers in die selletjie lê. Die Afrika-by se koningin lê net een eier per selletjie. As enige iemand vermoed dat hulle ‘n besmette swerm op hul plaas het, is hulle welkom om enige van die volgende mense te skakel: Hendrik Kelly (082 416 8528), Chris James (083 289 3099), Charlie Gerber (082 661 7966), of Mervin Wiggill (072 110 7908).

‘n Hartklepoperasie kan die lewe red van ‘n jong hartlyer tjie van Makhado (Louis Tri chardt). Die 10-jarige Corlanie de Vries, wat by geboorte met pulmonale klep stenose gediag noseer is, se ouers is vanjaar gewaarsku dat sy dringend ‘n nuwe hartklep moet ontvang. Corlanie se toestand is ‘n vernouing van die hart se pulmonêre klep, wat veroorsaak dat die bloed nie behoorlik van haar regter hartventrikel na haar longe vloei nie. Derhalwe ontstaan daar ‘n suurstof tekort in Corlanie se liggaam. Corlanie is gebore met ‘n hartklep wat vernou is en moes sy reeds op die ouderdom van vier maande haar eerste operasie ondergaan, sodat die vernouing in haar regterhartventrikel “gerek” kon word met ‘n mediese ballon. Ongelukkig het Corlanie se kleppie heeltemal geskeur en het sy nie meer die gebruik daarvan nie. Die vernouing in die hartven-
trikel het ook veroorsaak dat die spierweefsel van haar hart verdik het en ‘n aansienlike groot spasie in die hartkamer opneem. In 2006 moes Corlanie weer ‘n operasie ondergaan, waarin daar ‘n gedeelte van dié verdikte weefsel uitgehaal is. Intussen het die weefsel weer aangegroei, soveel so dat ‘n hartklepvervanging nou lewens noodsaaklik geword het vir Corlanie. Haar ouers het egter nie ‘n mediese fonds nie en die klep, wat ingevoer moet word van oorsee af, kos sowat R300 000. Die Steve Biko Akademiese Hospitaal in Pretoria het reeds aangebied om Corlanie se operasie uit te voer en al haar hospitalisasiekostes te dra, mits haar ouers ‘n plan kan maak om die klep te betaal. Derhalwe is Corlanie se ouers tans besig om ‘n hulpfonds te stig om die klep te bekom. Intussen moet Corlanie ook ‘n koronêre stent-inplanting kry vir die vernouing. Dié inplanting is
egter nodeloos as ‘n kleppie nie verseker is nie. Vir verdere navrae oor Corlanie se hulpfonds kan Mariaan geskakel word by 079 113 8150 of haar pa, Gert, by 076 020 5249.

O/16’s verloor Beeld-semi Die O/16-rugbyspan van Hoërskool Louis Trich ardt verloor teen Delmas in die semi-finale van die Beeldtrofee wat op 17 Augustus op Delmas se velde beslis is. Die eindtelling was 21-8 in Hoërskool Delmas se guns. “Dit was ‘n swaar span waarteen hulle te staan gekom het, maar die seuns het hul goed van hul taak gekwyt,” sê Triegies se rugby-organiseerder, mnr. Johan Minnie. “Dit was ‘n harde wedstryd, maar ‘n mooi een. Delmas was maar net beter,” sê een van die ouers, mnr. Lukas Visser. Triegies se puntemakers was Donovan Pretorius (heelagter) wat in die eerste helfte ‘n strafskop tussen die pale deurgestuur het. Die halftydtelling was 3-14. Redelik aan die einde van die wedstryd het Triegies se linkervleuel, Lusani Tenga, ‘n drie gedruk. Die O/16-rugbyspan kom al jare lank saam. Vandat hulle in Graad 7 was tot nou in Graad 10, het hulle net vier wedstryde verloor, met die
halfeindstryd van die Beeldtrofee as die vyfde een. Verlede jaar het hulle tot by die eerste rondte van die Beeldtrofee gevorder. Hierdie is die laaste jaar wat hierdie talentvolle en volhardende groep as ‘n span saamspeel. Hierna sal sommige na die eerstespan skuif en ander na die tweedespan. “Die skool het ‘n baie suksesvolle rugbyseisoen gehad. Ons was die Super 16-wenners en het 11 provinsiale spelers opgelewer, agt vanuit die eerstespan en drie van die O/16’s,” sê mnr. Minnie. Die span en hul ouers bedank hul drie afrigters, mnre. Tjorra Nagel, Jimmy Moodie en die skoolhoof, mnr. Henry Denner. ‘n Spesiale woord van dank gaan aan Elegant Fuel vir die afgelope vier jaar se groot borgskappe. Die ouers word vir hul ondersteuning bedank, asook al die borge, waarvan baie anoniem wil bly. Die seuns word Eiland toe geneem op 13 en 14 September en hulle bedank by voorbaat vir Elegant Fuel, wat die totale naweek borg.
Die flank van die O/16-rugbyspan van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, Ruan Botha, word hoog opgetel om die bal te vang in ‘n lynstaan in die tweede helfte van die halfeindrondte van die Beeldtrofee.

“Samewerking sorg vir wen” Daar heers groot opgewondenheid in Musina met die nuus dat Hoër skool Eric Louw se O/14rugbyspan die afgelope naweek deurgedring het na die finaal van die gesogte Beeldtrofee. Dié spannetjie het Saterdag in Kemptonpark in die semi-finaal teen Rhodesfield gespeel, met laasgenoemde wat van meet af aan gedugte teenstanders was. Louwtjies se Davies Mulaudzi se skop en Jan-Karel Limbach se flinke opvolg het gesorg vir die eerste drie van die wedstryd, waarna Jan-Karel daarin slaag om sy eie drie te verdoel. Spanmaat Kagiso Paloga het ook deurgebreek en Brian Maluadzi het
daarin geslaag om die tweede drie van die wedstryd te druk. Weer het Jan-Karel die drie verdoel en so nege van sy span se 14 punte aangeteken, met Rhodesfield wat slegs daarin kon slaag om een drie te druk teen die Louwtjies. “Die puik samewerking van die span het gesorg vir ‘n oorwinning van 14-5,” sê die skool. Jan-Karel is ook aangewys as die speler van die wedstryd. Louwtjies se O/14’s kom nou eerskomende Saterdag (24ste) te staan teen Hoërskool Kanonkop van Middelburg in die finaal van die Beeldtrofee. Die wedstryd word in Komatipoort gespeel.
