Public Works Department’s failure to pay rent forces landlord to disconnect police’s electricity

Lights out for police

By Andries van Zyl

The Makhado SAPS in Louis Trichardt has literarily been left in the dark since last Friday, after the electricity supply to the building housing them (the old Pennells building) was cut.

This drastic action apparently followed the Public Works Department’s (PWD) failure to pay the building’s rent for the past seven months.

“It is true that there are challenges experienced, and hence urgent action has been taken to resolve the situation,” was the response from provincial police spokesperson Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi when asked to confirm whether the building’s electricity supply had indeed been cut due to PWD’s failure to pay. He added that the situation had not severely disrupted service delivery and that the matter had been referred to their head office for urgent intervention. Mulaudzi did not want to explain why the payments had stopped.

“Please contact Public Works,” he said. The DPW was contacted

for comment, with several questions forwarded to them on Tuesday morning. Although the newspaper received acknowledgement of receipt of the questions, the department had yet to answer at the time of going to press.

In the meantime, the Zoutpansberger managed to track down one of the owners of the building, Mr Russel Wolpe.

As landlord, Wolpe explained that they used to meet with the PWD every two years to renegotiate their lease agreement with regard to the building housing the Makhado SAPS. Things started going wrong in 2010, with the lease agreement expiring in August of that year. Wolpe said they tried in vain to get the PWD to sign a new agreement, but continued leasing the building to the police, without a contract, on a month-to-month basis until August 2011. Since then, the PWD stopped paying.

“Since September 2011, we have not received a single cent,” Wolpe said. He said he tried everything to try and resolve the matter with the PWD. “Everybody say they will do

“It is a shame that things should get so out of hand that such drastic steps need to be taken” - Wolpe

unique to the province.

Earlier in March, two police departments in Polokwane faced possible eviction from their buildings, also due to the PWD’s failure to renew their lease agreements with their landlords and failing to pay.

At the time of going to press, the Makhado SAPS were still left in the dark.

One vehicle was almost split in half, leaving another a complete write-off in one of several severe road accidents in the Soutpansberg the past weekend. This gruesome scene was photographed along the Thohoyandou road last Friday night. Shortly after sunset, the driver of a Toyota bakkie driving towards Levubu lost control on the slippery road and landed on top of an oncoming sedan. The driver of the sedan, who was trapped inside his vehicle and had to be cut out, spent several scary minutes waiting to be rescued. Local police spokesperson Capt Maano Sadike confirmed that both drivers were rushed to hospital. At the time of going to press, the bakkie driver had been transferred to the Polokwane Hospital. The driver of the sedan escaped with minor injuries.

Hopefully, somebody will now contact me, so that we can sort out the problem. It is a shame that things should get so out of hand that such drastic steps need to be taken,” Wolpe added.

Out of sheer desperation, Wolpe said they handed the matter over to their attorneys about a month ago. Their attorneys gave the PWD seven days to rectify the situation and make payments. “We received no reaction,” said Wolpe.

Munisipaliteit sê herstelwerk het modderwater veroorsaak Presies ‘n week ná die Zoutpansberger se aanvanklike navraag oor wat die oorsaak was (en is) van Louis Trichardt se modderige drinkwater, het die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit met ‘n verduideliking vorendag gekom.

Volgens mnr. Matodzi Ralushai, woordvoerder vir die distriksmunisipaliteit, is die probleem veroorsaak deur ‘n lek op die pyplyn na die Mowcop reservoir. Dié lek, sê hy, is op 14 Maart herstel.

“As gevolg van die waterbeperkings word die pompstasies met tussenposes aan- en afgeskakel …

Tydens hierdie aan- en afskakeling is daar opwellings in die pyplyn wat veroorsaak dat modder en vuil water in die pyplyn ingesuig word,” het Ralushai gesê. Volgens hom beland hierdie vuil water dan in die reservoir en uiteindelik by die gebruiker.

Die groot vraag aan Ralushai was egter of hierdie vuil water veilig is om te drink.

“Die water is veilig om te drink.

Daar word aan al die noodsaaklike gehaltetoetse voldoen,” het Ralushai gesê. Volgens hom is die sediment in die water bloot die lym-agtige afsaksels van die modder. Heelwat lesers het egter aangedui dat hulle eerder nie die kans gewaag het om ‘n sluk van die water te neem nie.

Oor wanneer die vuil water uiteindelik uit die sisteem sal wees, het Mnr. Jan Louw van die plaas Nooitgedacht beduie na waar munisipale Ralushai gesê dit kan ‘n rukkie neem.

“Ons span is besig met die spoeling werkers sy heiningdraad gebreek en met grond platgegooi het.

van die lyne,” het Ralushai gesê.

Dat die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit wel besig is om lekke op die hooftoevoerlyn vanaf die Albasinidam te herstel, is plek-plek sigbaar.

Alhoewel hul ywer prysenswaardig is, is daar egter steeds dinge wat pla.

Mnr. Jan Louw van die plaas Nooitgedacht het verlede Donderdagoggend opgemerk hoe munisipale werkers besig is om ‘n seksie van die pyplyn op die padreserwe tussen sy plaas en die pad na Thohoyandou oop te grawe om ‘n lekkasie te herstel.

“Ek het gestop en vir hulle mooi in hul eie taal gevra om asseblief nie my heiningdraad te beskadig nie, want ek het bees in daardie kamp. Hulle het onderneem om versigtig te wees,” sê Louw. Die Donderdagmiddag het Louw besluit om maar net te gaan seker maak sy heiningdraad was nie beskadig nie. Tot sy misnoeë het hy gevind dat die laaigraaf-operateur tonne grond bo-op sy heiningdraad gegooi het, tot so ‘n mate dat die heiningdraad gebreek en plat op die grond gelê het. “Wie gaan betaal as my beeste uitkom en iemand jaag in hulle vas? Ek het versekering hiervoor, maar dit kan nie iemand se lewe vervang nie,” het Louw gesê. Kort na die Zoutpansberger se aankoms by die gebreekte heining, het ‘n bakkie daar gestop met ‘n paar munisipale werkers. Toe Louw vir hulle vra wie sy heiningdraad gebreek gebreek het, was die antwoord: “Dis daai mense van Vhembe.”

If this were a photo competition of specimens or proofs of dirty water, this entry would easily have won. Ms Steffie Breytenbach took this photo of the filter of her washing machine when she tried to do her washing on 16 March. “For sure you will have clean water,” was the promise of the Vhembe District Municipality on 15 March, but that seems to be in the distant future.

Gru-botsing laat twee families gebroke ‘n Gru-botsing op die N1-noord het verlede Vrydag twee families van Louis Trichardt gebroke gelaat, nadat beide geliefdes aan die dood moes afstaan.

“Maak nie saak wat gebeur het nie ... dit was ‘n ongeluk. Ons is hartseer dat nog ‘n familie van Louis Trichardt betrokke moes wees. Ons innige medelye aan die Lubbe-familie ... Hulle het ‘n kind verloor.”

Dit was die woorde van mnr. Johan Nagel wie sy ma, die 70-jarige mev. Petra Nagel, weens die ongeluk aan die dood moes afstaan. Sy was vanaf Polokwane onderweg na Louis Trichardt, toe sy in ‘n tromp-op botsing met die Lubbe-familie, wat vanaf Louis Trichardt na Polokwane gereis het, betrokke was.

Die ongeluk het net ná 15:00 te midde van gietende reën en swak sig op die N1 naby die Roodewal Bombaan plaasgevind.

Die 21-jarige Benadine Lubbe is op slag dood in die botsing. Haar ouers, Bernie (44) en Rista (42), asook haar jonger suster Salomé (17), is per ambulans deurgejaag na die provinsiale hospitaal in Polokwane. Petra is na dieselfde hospitaal gehaas, maar is met haar aankoms dood verklaar.

Rista se linkerarm is sleg gebreek tydens die ongeluk. Bertie het op sy beurt bors- en longbeserings opgedoen, terwyl Salomé se linkerarm uit sy potjie geruk is. Teen druktyd was aldrie nog in die hospitaal vir mediese behandeling en observasie.

Rista het reeds Saterdag ‘n twee-uur-lange operasie ondergaan om die ergste skade aan haar arm te probeer herstel. Intussen het medici nog gewag dat die ergste swelling en bloeding bedaar, alvorens hulle aan Salomé se arm kon werk. Sy is Dinsdag geopereer en herstel goed. ‘n Familievriend, mev. Schiela Botha, het Dinsdag gesê die Lubbe-gesin is uit die aard van saak platgeslaan oor die verlies van hul dogter.

Botha self moes nog teen die trane stry. Haar seun, die 27-jarige Tok, het op trou gestaan met Benadine. Die paartjie sou in Mei in die huwelik getree het. Benadine het saam met Tok by Limpopo

Melkery gewerk.

Die Nagel-familie is eweneens gebroke oor Petra se dood. Johan het Dinsdag vertel dat sy ma glad nie pyn of trauma kon hanteer nie.

“Dit is vir ons wreed dat sy op so ‘n manier van ons weggeneem is,” het Johan gesê. Hy het haar beskryf as ‘n liefdevolle mens wat geleef het vir haar kleinkinders en nooit enige iemand skade sou aandoen nie.

Petra word Vrydag, 23 Maart, om 11:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Soutpansberg-gemeente begrawe. Sy word oorleef deur drie kinders en agt kleinkinders.

Die diens sal waargeneem word deur ds. Dopper Erasmus van die NG Kerk Pietersburg Noordgemeente.

Benadine se begrafnis vind voorlopig Maandag, 26 Maart, om 10:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente plaas, afhangende of haar ouers en suster al uit die hospitaal ontslaan is.

In Memoriam

Oom Les Oberholzer se stem word stil ‘n Oud-inwoner van die streek, mnr. Leslie Oberholzer, is tot op 69-jarige ouderdom aan sy familie en vriende geleen.

Hulle betreur sy heengaan op 25 Februarie vanjaar.

Les is op 14 Mei 1942 op die plaas Driehoek by Waterpoort gebore. Boerdery was maar altyd deel van sy lewe en hy het op Driehoek, Mopani Ridge en Mountain View geboer, plase wat vroeër aan die Oberholzers behoort het. Hy was werksaam by die spoorweë, wat veroorsaak het dat hy moes rondskuiwe, maar die Bosveld en sy reuse kremetartbome het hom altyd teruggelok.

Inwoners van Louis Trichardt sal ook sy gesig onthou by Huntsmen Butchery, wat hy saam met sy seun, Charl, bedryf het. Oom Les was alombekend met sy rooi besemsnor en sagte oë. Sy uitgebreide kennis en lewenservaring het almal aan sy lippe laat hang en sy lewenswysheid word nie aldag in boeke gevind nie.

Oom Les was hoog geag deur die Vendas, ook die koninklikes.

Hy het magtiging gehad om in hul heilige woud in te gaan in die gedeelte waar koninklikes begrawe word. Hy het die Venda-taal vlot gepraat en het ook as tolk in die hof gedien.

Langs die kampvuur, met sy pap en inkomaazi, of langs die viswaters sou jy oom Les vind.

Wild en jag was sy voorliefde.

“Pa, u voetspore lê wyd en syd. Die gemis van u teenwoordigheid is reeds so groot, so kry jagvelde en hou die visstokke reg vir as ons weer ontmoet,” sê Charl.

Les is oorlede in Randfontein en die gedenkdiens vir sy lewe is gehou in die Pinkster Protestante Kerk, Randfontein.

Hy laat sy eggenote, Serah, drie seuns, Coert, Charl en Les junior, dogter, Madelyn, pleegseun Hein, en nege kleinkinders agter.

Wyle mnr. Leslie Oberholzer.

Diewe buit onvervangbare herinneringe van Oom Danie

Die 83-jarige oom Danie Lourens met sy waghondteef, Pippy, op sy skoot. Wat hom die hartseerste maak van die inbraak by sy huis die afgelope naweek, is sy onvervangbare versameling proefmunte wat gebuit is.

By Linda van der Westhuizen

Tender awarding a big concern for local Chamber The Soutpansberg Chamber of Commerce expressed its concern about the awarding of tenders by both the local and district municipalities.

This follows a meeting between the Makhado Local Municipality and the Vhembe District Municpality and community members of wards 20 and 21.

In a press release dated 19 March, the awarding of tenders, as well as the Chamber’s reaction to the meeting, was addressed.

“One of the most pressing issues is the awarding of tenders to contractors who have proven themselves incapable of really getting the job done. Shoddy work

by such overpaid contractors means that jobs already done in the past will now have to be done again. This leads to exorbitant, fruitless expenditure, and that in the face of an already financially strained municipality and overburdened tax- and ratepayers.

“Much closer scrutiny of the tendering process is needed to ensure that tenders are awarded to competent contactors at reasonable costs,” stated Mr Willie Botha of the Chamber.

The Chamber also touched on the response of the community members during discussion time at the meeting . “It is very encouraging that not one of the speakers

R117 900*

during discussion time was fooled and that stringent questions and remarks were made that highlighted the community’s concerns about the very issues presented by the municipal team as having been addressed,” Botha said. The Chamber shares these concerns regarding obvious service delivery failures still existing, despite the kind of picture painted by the municipality.

Botha says that the positive that should be taken out of this meeting was the preparedness of the municipality to face their community when it was common knowledge that the community was unhappy with them.

Could the promise by the municipality to be pro-active indicate a ‘turn of heart’ and mark the end of a season of prolonged failure to act on obvious shortfalls?

Or would the promises turn out to be empty once again?

“We certainly hope the ‘change of heart’ expressed verbally by the municipal team will result in action at ground level. More than having to prove themselves to the community, they now have to step up and deliver at the promised rate and in the indicated time frames or they certainly will have to face the wrath of a very disgruntled local community,” Botha said.

Hier van 80-jarige ouderdom af waardeer jou hart nie meer skielik skokke nie, veral nie om by die huis te kom en te sien iemand het hulself gehelp aan jou besittings nie.

Dit is presies die skok wat vir die 83-jarige oom Danie Lourens van Munnikstraat in Louis Trichardt gewag het.

Die afgelope tyd sukkel oom Danie maar met die gesondheid, in so ‘n mate dat sy dogter, Ann, daarop aangedring het dat hy eerder in die aande by hulle moet kom oorslaap.

So besluit, so gedoen. In die dag is oom Danie, ‘n duiweboer en skrynwerker van formaat, nog heel bedrywig by die huis en in die aand by sy dogter.

“Saterdagaand het ons nog my kerkklere kom haal en daar was niks fout nie. Sondag ná kerk het ek en Ann gou die duiwe kom kosgee, maar is nie die huis in nie. Daarna is ek na die Rotariërs se ete vir senior burgers by die gholfklub toe,” vertel Oom Danie. Hy geniet dit om op sy oudag met sy vrinne te gaan uiteet en mis omtrent nooit die Gister-se-Jeug byeenkomste Dinsdagoggend nie.

Met sy terugkoms ná die ete kom die skok ... die eerste aanduidings was die oop venster by die kombuis.

“Hulle het eers daar probeer binnekom, maar kon nie die diefwering breek nie,” sê Oom Danie.

Terwyl hy by die agterdeur gewag het, het Ann binne gaan ondersoek instel ... ja, hulle het ingebreek. Die diefwering voor sy kamervenster is uitgeruk en sy hele huis was besaai met besittings. Elke laai en hangkasdeur was oop.

En toe nog ‘n skok ... ‘n oop geweerkluis met die sleutel nog in die deur. Oom Danie sê hy weet nie waar dié sleutel vandaan kom nie, maar nou het hy ‘n ekstra een.

Buiten vir drie handwapens wat nie meer daar was nie, is Oom Danie se grootste hartseer sy lêer met ver-

sameling proefmunte wat ook nie meer daar was nie (Snaaks genoeg, sy .22-geweer is ongesteurd gelos, asook ekstra ammunisie vir die .22 en ander gesteelde handwapens).

“Ek kan nie vir jou sê wat my skade is nie, want ek kan dit nie omsit in geld nie,” sê Oom Danie, met verwysing na die vermiste lêer proefmunte. Sy versameling het ingesluit pennies van 1880 tot 1960, insluitend die rare 1914 pennie. Dan was daar die tiekies, onder meer ook die skaars 1931 tiekie. Ook deel van sy versameling was ondermeer silwer Kruger-proefmunte. Waaroor hy die hartseerste is, is egter oor ‘n gewone ou tiensjieling-noot.

“Met my eerste salaris van 1 pond 10 sjielings in Julie 1947 het ek die tiensjieling-noot vir my oorlede ma gegee. Sy het vir my gesê ‘Kind, bêre dit, want solank jy dit bêre sal jy altyd geld hê.’ Van toe af bêre ek dit en nou is dit weg,” vertel Oom Danie.

Later meld hy dat hy selfs sy naam daarop geskryf het – onvervangbare sentimentele waarde.

Oom Danie sê hy is nie seker oor wanneer daar presies ingebreek is nie – of dit Sondagnag was of toe hy by die ete was. Wat hy vreemd vind is dat, buiten vir die handwapens en muntversameling, daar absoluut niks anders gebuit is nie. Die slotte by sy buitekamers is ook oop geforseer, maar niks is gebuit nie.

“Duidelik was hulle nie dors nie, want my drankkabinet was onaangeraak,” sê Oom Danie.

Intussen het Oom Danie besluit om maar weer “terug te trek” huis toe.

“Ek is nou hier om te bly in my huis. As hulle my hier wil uitkry, sal hulle my voete eerste moet uitdra,” skerts Oom Danie. Tog is daar ‘n erns in sy stem. Oom Danie het enige iemand wat dalk inligting het oor sy vermiste versameling proefmunte versoek om hom asseblief te skakel by tel. 072 657 1501.

Notice

Don’t leave your pets in car The SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in Louis Trichardt has warned residents not to leave their pets inside vehicles.

Animal inspector

Lawrence Khodobo cautioned that even with the best of intentions, you place a pet’s life at risk when it’s locked inside a vehicle. More so on a hot day when the inside of a car can heat up very quickly.

A closed car interferes with the animal’s normal cooling system, that is, evaporation through panting. Even if the windows are left open a bit, temperatures inside the car can reach scorching highs.

If it should happen that a pet is suffering from heat exhaustion,

Khodobo advises that the pet be immersed in cold water until their body temperature has been lowered. A good idea, especially with the school holidays around the corner, is to have the SPCA look have your pets while you are travelling.

It should be noted that the local kennel’s booking fees have increased this year. Boarding for dogs now cost R40 per day and R30 per day for cats. Bookings can be made by phoning Khodobo at 082 965 5151.

Vicki part of 12-hour relay challenge On the night of 23 March 2012, Vicki Richardson, along with members of the Soutpansberg community, will be participating in a very special and powerful event – the town’s first ever CANSA Relay for Life.

The underlying message of the 12-hour walk is “Cancer does not sleep”. Teams are encouraged to participate and raise funds individually.

As the Kuifkopfees team Drie spanne van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is gereed om Vrydag, 23 Maart, die 12-uur stap leader, Vicki has pledged to walk vir KANSA aan te pak. Die eerste seunshokkiespan gaan stap en word deur Coca-Cola Fortune the entire 12 hours in an effort geborg. Die tweede meisieshokkiespan word deur Roman’s Pizza geborg. Die skool se Guardian to raise additional funds for Angels het geld ingesamel deur middel van ‘n fondsinsameling by die skool op 20 Maart, toe leerders volgens die verskillende kankerkleure aangetrek het en bydraes by die skoolhek gegee het. Saam met die drie spanne verskyn me. Berdine Pretorius (middel), die KANSA Relay for Life organiseerder van die Survivor-groep. Die gemeenskap is meer as welkom om die geleentheid op die dorp se rugbyveld by te woon en ‘n minimum toegangsdonasie van R10 vir KANSA te gee.

Die opening om 18:00, die kers-aansteek-seremonie om 20:00 en die duiwe vrylaat om 06:00 die Saterdagoggend sal baie aanskoulik wees. Alkohol word nie toegelaat nie. Daar is braaivleisvure en reg deur die aand sal daar musiek en vermaak wees.

CANSA, as well as to promote Malignant Melanoma awareness – a serious form of skin cancer.

“Cancer awareness is close to my heart.

This year my mother celebrates 12 years as a breast-cancer survivor, and two very close friends have recently enjoyed their first post-op cancer-free year. Sadly, some dear family and friends have lost the battle to various forms of cancer. I hope that, in some way, I can make a difference for future sufferers by walking 12 hours, with limited

essential breaks, to raise funds for cancer research – the only hope this dreaded disease has of someday being permanently cured,” says Vicki.

Vicki and the Kuifkopfees team appeal to friends, family and the community to show their support by sponsoring her during this fundraising event.

Donations and pledges can be made by phoning Barbra on 015 517 7021 or visiting the Kuifkopfees team during the event. All funds raised will be passed on to CANSA.

• BOOK LAUNCH AT LALAPANZI History lovers are invited to the book

Apart from its new look, the Zoutpansberger’s website (www.zoutpansberger.co.za) offers readers a new calendar entry service on their Events Page.

Visitors to the website can now list their calendar entries for upcoming events on the Events Page themselves. It is as easy as merely logging in on the Events Page through your existing Google, Facebook or Twitter accounts and uploading your entry. The entry will, however, not appear immediately as it has to go through a moderation process first.

In addition, sport club administrators (and for that matter church and school administrators) can contact us to directly submit events on the Events Page without a moderations process. If an administrator is listed as a user on the site, their calendar entries will show immediately. This function allows administrators to update events through the year on a platform used by ten others publications throughout the province as part of both a local and provincial calendar. For more information, phone Andries van Zyl at Tel 015 516 4996/7.

Inwoners bloei ‘n rekordgetal eenhede ‘n Rekord aantal eenhede bloed is deur die gemeenskap

by Laerskool Louis Trichardt se eerste groot bloedskenkdag geskenk.

“Dis fantasties. Ons is uit ons velle oor hierdie massiewe poging. Dit is die hoogste aantal eenhede bloed wat nog by ‘n Limpopo skool se eerste groot bloedskenkdag geskenk is!” sê me. Dottie Pinn, die SANBD se skakelbeampte in Polokwane.

Ouers, grootouers, familie en vriende het saamgestaan om die groottotaal van 260 eenhede bloed te skenk. Dit is slegs 14 eenhede minder as wat die derde bloedskenkdag van Pietersburg Laerskool (Suidskool) opgelewer Me Rika Trollip skenk bloed, met sr. Riana Viviers aan haar sy. Die gemeenskap het saamgestaan het. “Normaalweg skenk skole om die groottotaal van 260 eenhede bloed te skenk, die meeste wat nog by ‘n skool se eerste groot met so ‘n eerste geleentheid ongeveer 150 eenhede. Ons kry dit bloedskenkdag geskenk is.

nie dat ‘n skool vir die eerste keer meer as 200 eenhede skenk nie.

Ons is so in ons noppies met julle gemeenskap. Ons is ook dankbaar vir die nuwe bloedskenkers wat bygekom het,” sê Pinn.

Jakaranda RMFM het direk vanaf die skool uitgesaai en die publiek op datum gehou met die eenhede bloed wat inkom.

“Julle gemeenskap se bloedskenkdag het ons bloedvoorraad ‘n goeie hupstoot gegee. Die persone wat bloed ontvang, sluit in kankerpasiënte, kindergeboorte en ginekologiese pasiënte, traumagevalle en mense wat heupvervangingsoperasies of rugoperasies ondergaan, om net ‘n paar te noem,” sê Pinn. In Limpopo word daagliks 150 tot 180 eenhede bloed benodig.

Elkeen wat bo 50kg weeg, wat

tussen die ouderdom van 16 en 65 jaar is en ‘n veilige, gesonde leefstyl handhaaf, kan bloed skenk. Suster Riana Viviers van die bloeddiens in Louis Trichardt sê dat sy verheug is oor die 260 bloedskenkers wat opgedaag het. Daar was 15 persone van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Bloeddiens wat die bloedskenk­ dag behartig het.

“Daar was ‘n konstante vloei van skenkers. Ons het 07:00 begin en eers 19:30 klaargemaak,” sê die skool se organiseerder van die bloedskenkprojek, adjunkhoof vir menslike hulpbronne me. Stienie Fourie. Die skool bedank die ouers en die gemeenskap vir hul uitstekende ondersteuning, die SANBD vir hul werk en verversings, asook vir Jakaranda RMFM.

In the week leading up to Health Week, the toddlers from Heaven Sent Pre-Primary School in Louis Trichardt received a visit from the Makhado Specialist Medical Centre.

Library doors to remain shut a bit longer The Makhado Municipality issued a public announcement in December 2011 that the municipal library would be temporarily closed for public service “due to roof renovation”.

The library doors are still shut and this is a huge setback for library users.

Thabelo Mutungutungu, a Unisa student, has been traveling from Nzhelele to Louis Trichardt on a daily basis to make use of the library. He says that since January he has been struggling to adjust his mind to reading and studying

from his home, since there is lots of noise in the village.

“You can’t tell your neighbour that they’re making noise with their music system,” Thabelo says. “I can’t wait for people to sleep and study in the night. I’ve got lots of energy from early morning to 13:30. I find the library atmosphere condusive to studying.”

Other students around the Louis Trichardt area feel that the municipality should at least consider providing library points in central areas such as Elim, Nzhelele and Sinthumule in order to bridge the gap that

students need to travel in order to reach the library in town.

“I am suggesting this because a long daily commute wears some of us out as students,” says Rudzani Mamburu of Vleifontein. The spokesperson for the Makhado Municipality, Louis Bobodi, requests library users to be a little patient. “The library didn’t open on 5 January due to unforeseen problems, such as rainy days,” Bobodi says. “We postponed the set date to 10 April. Books still need to be unpacked and rearranged on the shelves, and all this requires time.”

A river of sewage that used to cover an entire street in the industrial area of Louis Trichardt now flows in a trench beside the street, still posing a health hazard. Pictured is the SRPA manager, Ms Aretha Smith, standing on the “bank” of the fast-flowing river of sewage.

Will this sewerage river ever disappear?

A river of sewage that used to cover an entire street in the industrial area of Louis Trichardt now flows in a trench just beside the street and still poses a serious health hazard.

The newly channelled “river” flows near the industrial pump station in the vicinity of the South African Breweries depot.

Executive members of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) recently visited the site and expressed their grave concern.

“Look at the fast pace that this river of sewage is flowing,” SRPA manager Aretha Smith said.

From here, the sewage flows past the existing waste water treatment (WWT) plant into a dam along the Sinthumule/ Kutama road. Drinking water for a part of town comes from the boreholes in this vicinity.

What is going to happen to this sewerage river with the potential threats it holds? There is, however, a light flickering at the end of the tunnel: The new WWTplant is nearly 40% finished in terms of the civil engineering

aspects. “The cost to take the sewage from the industrial pump station, known as the ‘breweries’ pump station, directly to the new plant is being investigated,” the residential engineer of Worley Parsons, Mr Connie Vlok, said.

There is a probability that the cost can be covered under the current WWT project. The railway crossing of the sewage is already included in the project and will be done during April and May. Spoornet has already consented to the laying of the pipes through the railway reserve area. The sewage will cross underneath the railway line on the southern side of the breweries.

If the total sewage spillage area can be covered and diverted directly to the new plant, the infamous industrial pump station will be closed down. This station has cost millions to upgrade, just to be neglected instead of maintained.

“One should always look at more underground pipelines and fewer pump stations,” said Vlok.

The new WWT will handle sewerage from the industrial

area, Extension 8, Eltivillas, the maximum security prison and Tshikota. The existing plant, which has been upgraded at a cost of R11.5 million, will handle the town’s sewerage. The new WWT could be functioning by the end of this year if the mechanical and electrical work is completed and there is sufficient electricity to run the plant. The total cost of the new WWT plant could reach R70m. Efforts have been made since 3 March to get the Makhado Municipality to explain the interim plans regarding the sewage river near the breweries while the new WWT is being completed. It seems that the local municipality is no longer prepared to answer questions on sewage.

“For the sewerage stuff, contact the Vhembe District Municipality. It is their project,” was the answer of the municipal spokesperson, Louis Bobodi, on 13 March.

The questions on sewage were redirected to the VDM. Questions on problems with the water supply that had been directed to the VDM in February have still not been answered.

Former councillor arrested after shooting A former councillor of the Makhado Municipality was arrested after he had allegedly shot at an ANC member during the party’s Tshikhwikhwikhwi branch’s elective meeting that was held at Bele Primary school last Saturday.

The 54-year-old suspect, Mr Albert Muvhumbe, was arrested and charged with attempted murder, following the incident.

The spokesperson for the Siloam police, W/O Edward Tharaga, confirmed Muvhumbe’s arrest.

“The police have opened a case of attempted murder, following the incident,” he said. Tharaga added that no one was injured during the shooting.

Muvhumbe appeared before the Dzanani Magistrate’s Court on Monday and is now out on R2 000 bail.

Muvhumbe served as chairperson of the Tshikhwikhwikhwi ANC branch for roughly 10 years.

He also served as a portfolio head for Rural Development and Land Affairs at the Makhado Municipality until May last year.

“We cannot build the organisation by threatening each other.

We were supposed to be learning from Muvhumbe as a veteran.

Now we are very disappointed in him,” remarked the chairper-

son of the Tshikhwikhwikhwi ANC branch, Mr Nehemiah Mad­zhiga.

Madzhiga, who is also a councillor for Ward 30, added that members might differ in opinion from time to time, but they never produced guns. “The policy of the ANC does not allow members to behave the way Muvhumbe did,” he said.

He added that the incident frightened other members who may now feel afraid of attending ANC meetings in the future. The meeting to launch this particular branch had been postponed for quite some time now. It is said that there were other members who had been disturbing the meetings after seeing that they were losing ground during the elections.

Cllr Livhuwani Netshipise, the Speaker of the Mutale Municipality, was an ANC deployee at the meeting. She said that the behaviour was barbaric. “In the ANC, we do not fight for positions. I was surprised and shocked by the incident. The problem started when I called all the members (to come) closer, so I could address them because the meeting was not progressing. I then decided to postpone the meeting,” she said.

Netshipise added that while she was busy addressing the members, Muvhumbe came and blocked the gate with his bakkie, preventing members from leaving the school premises. “That is where the fight started. The man even produced a firearm and pointed it at one of the members.

The last thing I heard was a gunshot. I then called the police,” said Netshipise.

When contacted for comment, Muvhumbe said that he had not point at anyone with a gun.

“When I arrived at the meeting, I found people beating up some boys. I then took out my gun and fired a shot to try and disperse the crowd that was beating up the boys. The gate was locked and they were unable to get out.

After I fired the shot, the crowd dispersed and the boys were free, although they had sustained injuries,” continued Muvhumbe.

He said the chairperson of the branch had instructed people to beat up the boys.

Muvhumbe’s lawyer, Adv Shonisani Ravele, also confirmed the allegations.

He stated, however, that the allegations could not stand in court as there was no evidence that his client had tried to shoot anybody.

Residents speak their mind at meeting

Mr Lawrence Makhado voiced strong opinions during the meeting between representatives of the local and district municipalities and ward 20 and 21 of the Makhado Municipality. He said, inter alia, that the municipality did not achieve their time frames and that the street to Hoërskool Louis Trichardt had not even been completed.

Louis Trichardt to be a city by 2025?

Louis Trichardt is to be a city by 2025.

“It is a fact that Makhado/Louis Trichardt has been declared as a provincial growth point,” the director of planning and development, Ms Dakalo Sinthumule, said onTuesday.

The draft spatial development framework sheds some more light on the major developments envisaged in the next decade or so. The current vision of the Makhado Municipality envisages “…peace, harmony and prosperity in a healthy environment for all”.

The proposed new vision is to move towards a dynamic and progressive centre for socio-economic development by 2025.

Sinthumule just briefly touched on a few aspects of the draft SDF at a community meeting at the Makhado Show Hall on 15 March. On 20 March she supplied information about the whole plan.

The Makahdo Municip[ality area is divided into the Center Cluster Formation, the South Eastern Cluster formation and the Northern Cluster formation.

While Louis Trichardt, along with Tshikotha, is the provincial growth point (PGP), Elim, along with Waterval, south-east of Louis Trichardt, is to be the district growth point (DGP) and the area in between is earmarked as a development corridor.

The population density in the Elim cluster (Elim, Waterval, Hlangani, Basani and Bungeni) in the south-east is the highest, compared to the other clusters. Functional links of transport routes between growth points should be established.

The four municipal growth points (MGP’s) are Madombidza, centrally situated with regard to the “urban” area, Hlanganani (along with Basani) and Vuwani (along with Vyeboom) to the southeastern side, and Rabali (along with Dzanani) in the north.

The first principle of the SDF is that there should be a sustainable balance between urban and rural development, biodiversity conservation, agriculture, economic activity and related land uses.

The new proposed mission of the Makhado

Municipality is “to ensure effective utilization of economic resources to address socio-economic imperatives through mining, tourism and agriculture”. Since the proposed vision and mission are part of a draft, Sinthumule invited the public to give their input.

In the proposed mission statement, mining, tourism and agriculture seem to receive special emphasis. Areas of high agricultural potential, comprising commercial farmers as well as small-scale farmers, are marked on the slide shown at the meeting. An important agricultural area like Levubu, however, does not seem to be marked.

Areas with mining potential are marked north and north-west of the biodiversity protection area of the Soutpansberg Mountain.

Louis Trichardt’s central business district is earmarked as the primary activity node of the Makhado Municipality. The draft SDP says that activity nodes or nodal development refers to areas where higher intensity of land uses and activities are supported and promoted at a point of intersection of routes or pathways. Shopping centres are regarded as secondary activity nodes. Some industrial areas and 15 mutli-purpose community centres, also called Thusong Centres, have also been identified.

By July, the draft spatial development framework could be accepted.

For the implementation thereof, the essential service delivery of water, electricity and sewerage has to be a priority. “I am confident that it can be done, especially when Vhembe District and our municipality support each other,” said Sinthumule.

The mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr.

Mavhungu Lerule, said on Thursday last week that the service-level agreement between Vhembe District Municipality and Makhado Municipality had been signed.

Public input on the draft spatial development framework can also be sent to makhados@makhado.gov.za

“We are sick and tired of presentations without implementation,” the community told its local and district municipalities on 15 March.

The Makhado Municipality called a meeting with wards 20 and 21 in an attempt to close the communication gap between the wards and the municipality. The information meeting followed on weeks of poor service delivery, particularly in terms of the lack of water supply and dirty water.

The meeting was well attended and community members did not hesitate to voice strong opinions.

“It is not a norm that the mayor and Exco move around to all 38 wards. This meeting is to strengthen the participatory process. I invited all people of the two Makhado wards in order to provide information to the residents,” the mayor, Cllr Mavhungu Lerule, said at the start of the meeting at the Makhado Show Hall.

The meeting was conducted in English. When it was the turn of the general manager: technical of VDM, Mr NF Tshivhengwa, to speak on the water situation, he commenced in Venda. It did not take long for the audience to call him to order and Tshivhengwa had no other option but to switch to English.

Concerning the water situation, Tshivhengwa mentioned the population growth and that the demand is higher than the

supply. Members of the audience, however, pointed out to him that they know this and that the municipality should have developed their infrastructure accordingly in time.

With regard to the municipal boreholes, Tshivhengwa said that 14 of the boreholes had been vandalised in December and refurbished at a cost of R1.4 million, only to be vandalised again in January. This time round, the repairs cost R1 million. Dr Paswana from the audience in turn expressed his surprise that boreholes could be destroyed twice, indicating a lack of security measures. He pleaded for political intervention and pressure on the justice system, so that crimes involving destruction of water and electrical supply should carry heavier sentences.

On the Nandoni dam “challenge”, Tshivhengwa said that the process to construct a pipeline from Nandoni to Valdezia had started, although the court case against the previous contractor had not been concluded. “The advert for the lines from Valdezia to the Mowcop Reservoir will be out by the end of March. If Makhado is to become a city, we should have enough water supply,” Tshivhengwa said.

On the sewerage issue, Tshivhengwa said that the adverts for mechanical work on the new waste water treatment plant would be out in a few months.

The technical presentation by

the Makhado Municipality was done by the director of community services, Mr Elias Mugari, in the absence of Mr Thivho Ralulimi, the director of technical services. Issues that will have been addressed by the end of April include potholes in Eltivillas, the tarring of Eltivilas streets, the training of frontline personnel after complaints of attitudes and bad working relations, and the call centre not addressing issues reported by the public.

The installation of vending machines to buy electricity will be finalised by June this year.

Mr Solly Maano, however, said that this same promise had been made in 2009.

“You have failed us for more than 17 years on water and sewerage,” Maano said.

Members of the Tshikota community complained that their issues had not been represented at the meeting.

“You guys are robbing us!

Go and check your contractor who reads meters,” Mpho from Tshikota said.

“We are facing hardships because of the municpality. You do not achieve your time frames.

The street to Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is not even completed.

I hope that this meeting was not politically inspired but based on public interest,” Mr Lawrence Makhado said. A speaker urged the municipality to manage its staff and “let them do work in business hours.”

Seated, from left, are Mr Shadrack Tshikalange (municipal manager, Makhado Local Municpality), Mr NF Tshivhengwa (general manager technical: Vhembe District Municipality, Mr TE Masakona: manager water affairs: VDM), Cllr Jackie Underwood (Exco: MLM) and Cllr Percy Mashimbye, programme director and portfolio head: community services: MLM).

Brief

BK dankbaar vir die wat hulp gee

‘n

Oud-leerling van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, Bertus de Beer (alombekend as BK), het op 23 Februarie vanjaar ‘n gru-ongeluk oorleef. Volgens familie en vriende het BK beheer oor die bakkie verloor op die N1-suid naby die Lalapanzi Hotel.

Ná afloop van BK se ongeluk en hospitalisasie word die volgende mense bedank: Netcare en hul personeel wat onderweg na Polokwane gestop en help het op die ongelukstoneel, Louis Trichardt se ambulanse wat binne oomblikke op die toneel was en suster Moloko

van die Louis Trichardt Gedenkhospitaal wat vir BK bygestaan het en behandel het tot ‘n bed beskikbaar was.

BK self het sy opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor al die hospitaalpersoneel wat hom versorg het en altyd met ‘n glimlag gegroet het, vir Samuel vir sy bystand en Zane van die nooddienste wat hom help bid het in die ambulans toe hy nie instaat was om vir homself te bid nie.

Letter

ie organiseerders, bestuurslede en spelers van die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub wil graag hul dank uitspreek teenoor die borge wat gehelp het met die jaarlikse Conway Rugbydag wat voorverlede naweek aangebied is.

Die borge het ingesluit Dunlop, Imperial GM, Nieuwco, OK Grocer, Franna Knoetze, Vhavhenda Bricks, Talisman Hire, Coca-Cola Fortune Louis Trichardt, Pennells Tenks, Super Signs en Playboy Sports.

n 24 February I placed a second article in the Zoutpansberger, asking the public to report Samango sightings and, by doing so, support my current research aimed at the conservation and management of the Samangos in the Soutpansberg area.

I have received and still am receiving phone calls, e-mails and SMSes from individuals all over the Soutpansberg. The information I have gathered through this is of great value and has led to the discovery of some very fascinating, and so far unknown, facts about these charismatic animals.

I would like to thank everyone for their interest and support in my project, and I am very pleased to hear that people generally seem to have a positive attitude towards the presence of Samango monkeys. I would like to encourage residents again to contact me about Samango sightings and to continue spreading the word about my research.

To report Samango sightings and for further information, please e-mail me at birthelinden@ gmx.de or, if you do not have email, call or SMS me on 071 105 8117. Together with the Hogsback Samango monkey project, we also have a Facebook group “Samango Monkey Project” and anyone is welcome to join.

Kyk na die klagstaat teen hom. Hy het dit onwettig in sy besit gehad. Die renosters se horings was verwyder onder verdowing en hy het sy eie renosters (wat nog lewendig is) sowel as die van Maremani (wat deur ‘n veearts met die nodige permitte verwyder is) sonder die nodige permitte aangehou. Dit is regtig ver verwyderd van POACHING.

Dis hoekom hy nou voor die hof is Lizette. Ja, deler is net so goed soos die steler, verwys weereens na ons plaaslike sigaret situasie in LTT en Messina. Maar ... die kruks van die feit is hy is nie n poacher nie ... dit was sy eie renostes se horings en Maremani s’n. Skuldig is hy skuldig en hy moet gestraf word ja, maar voor ons veralgemeen kom ons kyk net eers na die feite. - Teresa Yolundi Vollgraaff

Gure weer stuit nie Triegies by Ebenezer Myl nie Elf swemmers van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het die Ebenezer Myl in die Ebenezerdam in Haenertsburg op 18 Maart geswem.

Hierdie dapper swemmers het yskoue water en ‘n digte mis trotseer. So sonnig as wat dit die Saterdag was, so koud en trietsig was dit die Sondag. As gevolg van die mis is die myl (1609 meters) vir ‘n paar uur uitgestel.

Van die deelnemers en hul families het as gevolg van die swak weer opgepak en

huistoe gegaan. Toe die aankondiging kom dat die 500m swem wel gaan plaasvind, het die hoërskool swemmers ingespring en geswem. Dit blyk toe vir hulle ‘n opwarming te wees, want nadat hulle ‘n kort ruskansie gegun is, is daar besluit dat mans en vroue gelyk ‘n verkorte myl (1400m) sou swem. Hulle het weer die mistige dam aangedurf. Hulle swem organiseerder, me.

Ilze Coetzee, het ter ondersteuning saam met hulle geswem.

Die eerste seun uit die water was Arno

Venter (24:46), met Daniël Coetzee (25:48) kort op sy hakke. Die eerste meisie was Amari Kotzé (26:40), met Elouise Spies na haar (28:44). Juffrou Ilze was die vyfde swemmer van die skool om die afstand te voltooi in ‘n tyd van 29:44.

Die tye is met die hand geneem en die amptelike tye was teen druktyd nie beskikbaar nie.

Van die skool se swemmers gaan op 25 Maart die Bosveldmyl swem in Bela Bela.
