Property values rise By Andries van Zyl
Residents should not be caught napping when it comes to scrutinizing the Makhado Municipality’s proposed new 2018 to 2023 valuation roll, otherwise some might be in for a few unpleasant surprises. The 2018 to 2023 valuation roll for Makhado was compiled by Geospatial Valuation Technologies, a company from East London, after they were awarded the tender under bid number 51/2017 to the amount of R9 998 500.
The proposed new valuation roll is currently open for public inspection with residents having until 4 May to submit inputs or objections against the new valuations on their properties. Many residents will remember the furore sparked by die 2014 to 2018 valuation roll, which most described as a mere thumb-suck exercise by the municipality and realise that this public participation process is of utmost importance. But will residents see a repeat of the controversy sparked by die 2014 to 2018 valuation roll? Judging by what the region’s tax payers had to fork out to

increase in value varies between 4% and 1777%. But having said this, it should be noted that the two properties where an increase of over 1000% was recorded were valued far below market value in the 2014/18 valuation roll (R200 000 and R250 000 respectively) and the 2018/23 valuation roll has subsequently rectified the mistake. Overall there were, however, a 72.3% increase in property value that will ultimately place a bigger financial burden on home owners. (Contd on P2)

have the roll compiled (almost R10 million), one should hope not. The Zoutpansberger took a closer look at the new roll by focussing on the proposed new values of properties in a single street, namely Schimper Crescent (Skuldbult) in Louis Trichardt. The newspaper looked at the percentage increase between the 2014/18 and 2018/23 valuation roll of 22 properties in Schimper Crescent and it made for some interesting reading. Of the 22 properties, 17 increased in value as expected, but the interesting part is the percentage increase. The percentage

Veral boere moet mooi kyk na nuwe waardasierol Deur Andries van Zyl
Die kwessie van belasting op landbougrond bly ‘n emosionele debat met baie boere wat voel dit is ‘n onbillike heffing wat verdere druk op ‘n sukkelende bedryf plaas. Baie grondeienaars weier ook om te betaal omdat hulle nie rekeninge ontvang nie, of omdat hulle meen hulle ontvang geen dienste vir die belasting wat hulle betaal nie. Die realiteit is dat boere wetlik verplig is om eiendomsbelasting te betaal. Die TLU SA Noord het reeds ‘n jaar gelede (Maart 2017) ‘n verklaring in dié verband uitgereik. “Soos dorpsbewoners aan die plaaslike munisipaliteit grond- of eiendomsbelasting moet betaal, moet eienaars van landbougrond ook eiendomsbelasting, volgens die waardasie van die eiendom deur die plaaslike owerheid, betaal. Dit het niks met basiese dienste wat plaaslike owerhede lewer te doen nie, dit is nie ’n heffing of ’n rekening vir dienste gelewer nie, dit is ’n belasting,” het die TLU SA Noord in hul persverklaring toe gesê. Wat betref die argument dat boere weier om te betaal omdat hulle nie rekeninge ontvang nie, het die TLU SA Noord gesê grondeienaars bly wetlik verantwoordelik vir die betaling van eiendoms-
belasting. “Die onus berus op die grondeienaar om sy rekening by die owerheid te bekom en dit betyds te betaal. Die plaaslike owerhede is dan ook by magte om die agterstallige belasting in te vorder op enige wetlike manier. Hulle kan dagvaardings teen jou uitreik en die normale skuldinvorderingsprosesse gebruik,” het die TLU SA Noord gesê. Die weiering om erfbelasting te betaal kan boere baie duur te staan kom, veral wat betref die Makhado Munisipaliteit se nuwe algemene waardasierol wat tans vir die publiek beskikbaar is vir inspeksie. Een van die plaaslike boere wat die moeite gedoen het om hierdie nuwe waardasierol onder oë te kry was me. Erika Helm. “Ek is ‘n boer in die omgewing reeds vir die afgelope 19 jaar, hoewel ons eiendom reeds generasies in die familie behoue gebly het. Verlede jaar het ek soos ‘n getroue inwoner dit behaag, ‘n afspraak gemaak by die munisipale kantore vir hulle aanvullende waardasierol se inspeksie binne die kantoorure soos geadverteer om net myself te vind voor dooiemansdeur met geen hulp van enige werknemer binne die munisipaliteit nie. Die waardasierol was ook geensins beskikbaar op die webtuiste soos beloof is nie,” skryf Helm in ‘n ope brief aan die Zoutpansberger.
Goeie opvolgreën nou nodig vir streek Deur Andries van Zyl
Die goeie reën neerslae oor die streek gedurende Februarie het die Soutpansberg in ‘n ware lushof van groen omskep, maar was die reën genoeg? “Die reën was baie welkom en broodnodig, want dit was ons eerste noemenswaardige reën in ons streek. Dit gaan ‘n verskil maak in die veld, maar vir die reën om genoeg te wees het ons in Maart en April opvolgreën nodig,” het mnr. Fanie Havinga, voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Distrikslandbou-unie gesê. Op ‘n vraag oor hoë Februarie se neerslae ooreenstem met die van vorige jare, het Havinga gesê die tendens neig dat die streek meer reën in die najaar kry, wat dit moeilik maak vir sommige aanplantings. “Die reën wat ons nou gekry het,

gaan help met volgende jaar se makadamia oes,” het Havinga gesê. Op plekke het dit tot 200 mm of meer gedurende Februarie binne ‘n kort tydperk gereën. Gelukkig genoeg, het Havinga gesê, was daar geen berigte gewees van skade aan oeste of infrastruktuur nie. “Almal was te dankbaar,” het Havinga gesê. Oor die algemeen het die streek oor ‘n wyd verspreide area goeie reën gekry. Havinga het egter weer beklemtoon dat alhoewel dinge nou baie groen lyk, die situasie vinnig weer kan verander as die streek nie goeie opvolgreën kry nie. Met die winter op hande is daar veral kommer of daar genoeg weiding vir wild- en veeboere gaan wees. “Tans lyk dit nie goed nie,” het Havinga gesê. Dat die hele streek, en so ook groot dele van Limpopo, buitengewone goeie reën neerslae vir Februarie gehad het, is duidelik te sien uit die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens se amptelike reënvalsyfers vir daardie maand (slegs op plekke waar hulle weerstasies het). Pontdrift het ‘n allemintige 330% meer as hulle gemiddelde 42 mm vir die maand gehad met ‘n totaal van 140 mm. Ook Waterpoort was geseënd met 193% meer reën as hulle gemiddelde 55 mm vir Februarie met 107 mm. Ander dele in die provinsie wat bogemiddelde reënval gehad het was Merensky (122% meer reën as hulle gemiddelde 91mm vir Februarie met 111 mm), Polokwane (243% meer reën as hulle gemiddelde 70 mm vir Februarie met 171 mm) en Bela-Bela (115% meer reën as hulle gemiddelde 82 mm vir Februarie met 94 mm). Nader aan die huis het goeie neerslae vir Februarie ook plaasgevind by Alldays (95 mm), Mara (144 mm) en Venetia Myn (136 mm). Volgens die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens se langtermyn voorspelling vir die periode Februarie tot Junie 2018, sal die bogemiddelde reënval oor die noord-oostelike dele van die land voortduur tot in die laat somer en vroeë herfs. Hulle het ook gewaarsku dat die bogemiddelde reënval gelokaliseerde vloede kan veroorsaak.

Don’t get too comfortable with new roll (Contd from P1) To put above into perspective. Currently, local home owners are paying taxes of 0,80c in the Rand on residential property (1,10 cents in the Rand on business, industrial and commercial property) as per the notice of general assessment rates published in the Provincial Gazette of 16 June 2017. This notice also allows for a 45% rebate to be deducted from market values of properties of qualifying senior citizens, as well as an amount of R26 137,20 to be deducted from the market value of all residential properties. So, if your residential property is worth R1 000 000, you would pay 0,80 cents in the Rand after the R26 137,20 was deducted from the total value. That works out at R649,24 per month on property rates. The 72,3% overall increase in Schimper Crescent’s valuations will cause a lot of home owners’ municipal bills to rise dramatically. Of the 22 property owners, 11 of them will have to pay a R1 000 or more in property rates per month when the new valuation roll becomes effective. Of them, the two home owners whose properties were valued at R200 000 and R250 000 will now have to fork out R2 370 and R1 980 extra on their respective monthly rates bill.
At this point, however, it must be mentioned that of the 22 properties looked at in Schimper Crescent, five depreciated in value of between 14% and 24%. Why these properties have lost their value is unknown. So, overall it seems that there are going to be “winners” and “losers” if it comes to the new valuation roll. But is the new valuation roll again just a thumbsuck exercise or is it this time around a more realistic view of what is going on in the market. Here again the Zoutpansberger took a closer look as the Muni cipal Property Rates Act (Act 6 of 2004) clearly states that market value forms the basis of any valuation and that the market value of a property is the amount the property would have realised if sold on the date of valuation in the open market by a willing seller to a willing buyer. Using the Act as a guide, the Zoutpansberger did a compa rative analysis of the last twenty properties to be sold the last two years near Schimper Crescent. This included properties sold in adjacent streets such as Bergh-, Barnard-, Snyman-, Forestryand Hertzog streets. Of the 20 residential properties sold in the area the last two years, nine sold for more than they were valued in the 2014/18 valuation
roll. Two of the 20 properties sold for exactly what they were valued for, while nine sold for less than they were valued for. Of the same 20 properties that were sold, 15 sold for more than they are currently valued in the 2018/23 valuation roll, while the five remaining properties sold for slightly less than what they are currently valued at according to the 2018/23 valuation roll. Overall, it would seem that the new valuation roll is fairly in line with current market prices. Having said that, residents should not ease into comfort too quickly. Mistakes do happen and therefore it is of utmost importance to inspect the new valuation roll. Especially farmers should take a closer look at the roll, whether they pay or do not pay property rates. Many of them are in for a surprise (see accompanying article). The proposed new valuation roll is available at Office C027 at the Makhado Civic Centre in Krogh Street, Louis Trichardt, from 08:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 16:00. The valuation roll can also be inspected at the regional administration offices at Waterval, Dzanani and Vleifontein satellite office. It is also available from the municipality’s website at www.makhado. gov.za.
ZOUTPANSBERGER, 23 MAART 2018
Senior officials fail to pitch at feedback meeting By Isabel Venter
on behalf of the local farm watch groups. He said that the only reason there are less syndicates operating in Louis Trichardt, is because there are people willing to work together to fight crime. From the comments Snyman received it was, however, clear that the Louis Trichardt community are losing their trust in the local police. Several complaints were brought up where residents said that they were fed-up by the police’s excuses of not having enough manpower to attend to crime scenes. Several explanations to this were offered by Snyman, of which one was that the local station was in fact losing personnel and vehicles due to there being less crime. Snyman offered the example of Bandelierkop’s local station that was downscaled into a satellite station. According to Snyman, crime did not get reported to the station, which resulted in “lower” crime stats. Due to “less” crime in the area the police relocated their resources to other stations with higher crime rates. “People need to report crime, follow-up on it and really need to get involved,” warned Snyman. “Otherwise what happened at Bandelierkop is going to happen at the Makhado police station,” he added.
Residents and local community leaders were left quite despondent after a ward meeting that was held in Louis Trichardt on Tuesday evening. This meeting of Ward 20, a DA (Democratic Alliance) controlled ward, was supposed to serve as a feedback session to the community regarding some of Louis Trichardt’s most dire concerns like crime, health and water issues. People in attendance were outraged when they learned that the only municipal officials that bothered to show up were junior officials from the Makhado Municipality. According to the DA councillor for Ward 20, Mr Brian du Plooy, officials from the Vhembe District Municipality laughed off their invitations to the meeting. Consequently, the feedback session of the meeting could not proceed. This, however, did not stop residents to voice their frustration and anger towards both municipalities. Resident after resident vented about the pathetic attempts of the municipalities to turn bad service delivery around. Attendees to the meeting became very irritated when it was suggested by Du Plooy that the community of Louis Trichardt will have to take it upon Eltivillas, the stepchild themselves to turn the town’s situation around. “We of Makhado Municipality? need to look after ourselves otherwise nothing will For the residents of Eltivillas it is not only crime get done,” remarked Du Plooy at one stage during that is increasingly becoming a daily struggle. the meeting. Residents from this community were extremely Is there really a decrease in crime? irate with the Makhado Municipality. “All over Self-reliance was also the message emphasised Eltivillas’ streets there are potholes. Some of these when crime in and around Louis Trichardt came potholes are so big that people are driving on the under discussion. wrong side of the road to avoid them … this is an Addressing the meeting was Mr Christo Snyman accident waiting to happen,” remarked one resident
from Eltivillas. Another issue that was raised was that the Makhado Municipality is currently incapable of cutting the grass next to roads or on empty stands, which in turn has a direct impact on crime. “How pathetic must a municipality be if they can’t afford R18 000 to get the service parts that they need to get their slasher machines working again,” declared Eltivillas residents. Residents raised this issue because they have been struggling for the past three months to get the municipality to cut bushes and long grass. Water still the issue of the day Water – or the lack thereof - was once again residents’ primary compliant, with residents wanting to know what is going on. Feedback given by Du Plooy in this regard pointed towards a communication issue within VDM. Apart from VDM officials who simply refuse to give the DA feedback on official questions that have been directed to them, there is also seemingly little internal communication going around within VDM itself. Du Plooy said that none of the different
3
departments within VDM seem to be talking with each other. A recent go-slow strike of municipal workers, which lead to new water shortages, had been resolved. Municipal workers had sabotaged the power to the Albasini pumping station. It came to light that although these workers were stationed at the Makhado Municipal Station they were employed by VDM and they did not receive their overtime pay. The issue has been resolved, according to Du Plooy, when the VDM on 1 March officially took over the complete management of these employees. After the meeting, the officials from the Makhado Municipality who were at the meeting undertook to report back to their heads of office and the municipal manager himself. There were, however, several residents that called for more drastic action to force the municipalities to heed residents’ plights. Many felt that the time for talking has long past and suggested that the idea of the withholding of rates and taxes be revisited.
Sondag stuit nie rowers in middedorp Deur Isabel Venter
‘n Bende rowers het Sondag amok gemaak in Louis Trichardt se middedorp deur twee winkels binne ‘n kort tydperk te beroof. Die eerste onderneming waarop die rowers toegeslaan het, was dié van mnr. en mev. Johan en Liana van Rooyen. Hulle is die eienaars van Perfect Water in Songozwistraat. Volgens Liana het die sce nario homself ongeveer 11:00 afgespeel. Twee ongemaskerde mans het die winkel binnegekom en hulle voorgedoen as klante. Hulle het die vroue personeellede aan diens uitgevra oor van die produkte en die pryse daarvan. Dit was toe twee van die per soneellede agter in die winkel se stoorruimte besig was om voorraad aan te dra, dat hulle gehoor het hoe hulle kollega ‘n benoude gil gee. Een van die rowers het ‘n vuurwapen uitgepluk en op haar gerig. Die rowers het die vrouens kort daarna in die badkamer toegeslu-
it, maar nie alvorens hulle die vrouens se selfone gevat het nie. Hulle het ook gedreig om die drie vroue dood te skiet. Gelukkig, sê Liana, het die rowers nie opgemerk dat een van die vrouens haar selfoon in haar agterste broeksak gehad het nie. Die rowers het die winkel se sleutels by die vrouens afgeneem en hulle beveel om stil te bly waar hulle in die badkamer toegesluit was. Intussen het die rowers die winkel geplunder en gevat wat hulle wil. Volgens Liana het die rowers weggekom met die dag se winste uit die kasregister, gereedskap in die stoor en die vrouens se selfone. Intussen het Liana ‘n Whats App-boodskap ontvang van die benoude vrouens. Sy en Johan was in daardie stadium nie in Louis Trichardt nie en moes vanaf Pretoria die polisie en dorpswag skakel om ondersoek te gaan instel. Teen die tyd wat hulp egter by die winkel opgedaag het, was die rowers reeds vort. Die badkamerdeur moes afgeskop
word om die vrouens te kon bevry, want die rowers het die winkelsleutels saam met hulle gevat. Liana het Maandag gesê dat hulle hoopvol is dat die polisie die verdagtes sal aankeer. Sowat ‘n uur na die roof by Perfect Water het Sport Scene in Songozwistraat ook deurgeloop. Volgens plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder konst. Irene Radzilane, is daar sterk bewyse dat dit dieselfde bende rowers was wat Perfect Water beroof het. Radzilane sê die enigste verskil in die twee rooftogte was dat die rowers by Sport Scene die winkel op sy kop gekeer het. Hier het die rowers heelwat meer kontant gekry om te steel, en hulself ook mildelik gehelp aan van die klere en skoene in die winkel. Ook hier was die personeel eers vooraf in die badkamer geboender, toegesluit en gedreig deur die rowers. Teen Woensdag was daar nog geen arrestasies gemaak in verband met die twee voorvalle nie.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe Die pad van die regverdige is beplan “... die Here lei die regverdiges op hulle pad”. (Ps. 1:6.)
O
ns sekerheid lê daarin dat die Alwetende God ons toekoms ken, die Alomteenwoordige ons daarop sal vergesel en die Almagtige voorsiening gemaak het dat alles ten goede meewerk vir elkeen wat Hom liefhet (Rom. 8:28). ‘n Kind van God is dus nooit aan die noodlot uitgelewer nie. ”Pelgrim” van John Bunyan se boek “Die Pelgrim Se Reis” was beangs toe hy reg voor in die pad twee baie kwaai, brullende leeus gesien het, totdat sy gids hom verseker het dat hulle met kettings gebind was wat net tot by die kant van die pad kon reik. As hy in die middel van die pad sou bly, sou hulle wel skrikwekkend brul, maar hom sou hulle nie kon aanraak nie. In die middel van die pad is jy altyd veilig. Sonde is dié plaag van die mens se hart; die indringer in ons lewe, waarvan ons verlos moet word. In die middel van die grootpad is ‘n ekstra, baie spesiale pad wat die “heilige weg” genoem word, waarop geen onreine sal loop nie. God het gesê: “Wandel voor My aangesig, dan sal jy opreg wees”. Vryheid en veiligheid gaan hand aan hand en is vir jou in Hom beskikbaar. Op Sy “heilige pad” is dit klaar vir jou gewaarborg. - 079 516 8303

Rotary thankful for support of programme Brian du Plooy, president of the Louis Trichardt Rotary Club, writes:
I
t takes real commitment, passion and lots of energy to take action and make a difference in your community. Therefore 2017 was a particularly busy year for the Rotary Club in Louis Trichardt. Determined to continue with our efforts to work together towards a better world, we hit the ground running in the new year to uphold our 2018 motto of ‘Making a Difference.’ This means that some of our projects during these past months have slipped through the cracks unnoticed. One such a project is the annual Rotary Youth Exchange programme aimed at building peace, one young person at a time. Students selected for this project learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students 15 to 19 years old are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries. During August 2017, the local Rotary Club hosted two exchange students, Carlotta Pasquali from Italy and Marion Lefebvre from France, as Grade 11 students at Louis Trichardt High School. Their Louis Trichardt counterparts were Catrien Dekker, who visited France, and Anicka Nel, who got to see Italy. We thank all who formed part of this programme and made it a success. Anybody who wishes to become involved and make a difference in the community can contact me at Tel 082 821 0075 for more information to become a member.

D
ie komiteelede bedank die gemeenskap wat weereens hulle hande en harte oopgemaak het vir donasies en pryse vir die Relay. Bowenal het ons groot waardering vir die mense wat spanne ingeskryf het, en ook die enkelpersone wat kom stap het die aand. Ons bedank ook die kosstalletjies wat op kort kennisgewing bereid was om vir ons kos te verskaf, DJ Johnty vir die musiek en PD Otto Elektries vir die elektrisiteit en almal wat die aand moontlik gemaak het. Heila Oosthuizen het ook haar dank uitgespreek teenoor die komiteelede wat op kort kennisgewing saam met haar die Relay gereël het en ook vir Riana Bronkhorst en Christopher Combrink van Cansa vir hulle hulp. Laaste, maar vir seker nie die minste nie, wil ons ook vir Dawid Jordaan baie, baie dankie sê vir sy hulp met die behartiging van die logistieke reëlings. Dankie vir jou harde werk - ons waardeer jou op die komitee! Ons sien uit om volgende jaar vir die gemeenskap ‘n groter en beter Relay te hou. Spanne kan nou al reeds begin inskryf. Relay groete!

ANSA sê baie dankie aan die hele gemeenskap en die nuwe komitee vir ‘n uitmuntende CANSA Relay For Life Louis Trichardt. Sonder elkeen se bydrae kon hierdie funksie nie die groot sukses gewees het wat dit was nie.
Hoërskool Eric Louw is baie trots op een van hulle oud-leerlinge, Anke Eckardt (middel). Anke, wat in 2013 by die skool gematrikuleer het, het haar BA-graad in Antieke tale, met Grieks en Latyn as hoofvakke, met lof geslaag by die Universiteit van Pretoria. Sy is tans besig met haar honneursgraad in Grieks. Saam met Anke staan haar trotse ouers, di. Ronel (links) en Eddie Eckardt (regs). Foto verskaf.
God reminds us of his signs in the things he has made. He has blessed the human being with the ability to speak but did not confine our language to just one language but in fact gave us different languages and different dialects as a sign of greatness. He has created our bodies but made us with different heights, and complexions so as to show his greatness in creation. That God is able to make things the same yet different is an amazing feature of God’s wonderful creation which enable us to understand and appreciate his grandeur even in the most basic things. How dull would the world have been had we have been the same height, the same complexion and the same language and dialect. Life would have been so monotonous. Alas, let us rejoice over our Creator’s blessing in that he has made our life extraordinary and has filled our world with a variety of wonderful things that show how perfect his plan of creation really is.

Koerant se omslagprys verhoog Kennisgewing
Die omslagprys van die Zoutpansberger verhoog vanaf 5 April na R5,00. Dit sal die eerste prysverhoging wees in bykans ses jaar. Die koerant se omslagprys was R4,00 sedert Junie 2012. Die prysstyging word egter nie net geblameer op die ekonomie nie. “Alhoewel ons ook gebuk gaan onder druk van prysverhogings, is daar ‘n heel ander rede vir die besluit om die omslagprys
te verhoog,” sê Anton van Zyl, bestuurder van Zoutnet, die uitgewers van die Zoutpansberger. Drukkoste, asook ander faktore soos verspreiding en salarisse, styg jaar na jaar. Dit is veral ten opsigte van verspreidingskoste dat die besluit geneem is om die omslagprys te verhoog. “Die verhoogte omslagprys bied ook ‘n geleentheid vir ‘n beter inkomste aan ons netwerk van straatverkopers,” het George Janse van Rensburg, hoof van bemarking en koerantverkope in die Zoutnet groep, gesê.

Eight months later, in 2013, Makhado Municipality received a qualified report from the Auditor-General. This was already a huge improvement, as a qualified report means that only certain (smaller) issues remain that need to be addressed. In 2014, the municipality received an unqualified report, the first since 2000. The municipality also managed to spend its municipal infrastructure grant (MIG), meaning that money earmarked for infrastructure development did not revert to National Treasury. In 2015, a qualified report was received. “Even National During happier times - Former Makhado municipal manager Mr Sakkie Treasury was praising the manner in which we conducted our busiMutshinyali in his office in Louis Trichardt.

ness,” said Mutshinyali. Mutshinyali’s approach also meant that action was taken against people making themselves guilty of fraud. “Tender irregularities were exposed, and those who stole municipal funds were suspended and taken for disciplinary processes without favour,” he said. He was a very “hands-on” manager and invited members of the public to phone him directly and tell him about the problems they experienced. “It was not just a case of going to the office and signing documents,” he said.
Stepping on the wrong toes? Within a month after a new mayor, Mildred Sinyosi, was elected in 2016, things started turning sour. She tabled a report containing allegations of misconduct against Mutshinyali, and he was placed on “special leave”. A company was appointed to investigate the allegations. Mutshinyali said it took the company three months to finish the investigation, at a cost of around R300 000. “They reported back that they could find nothing wrong,” said Mutshinyali. This, however, did not convince the new leaders and in January 2017, a disciplinary tribunal was appointed. The council hired three lawyers and the costs simply escalated. “I had to fight to clear my name. The sad part is that a mere discussion would have sufficed. All that they needed to do was to tell me that they don’t want me, because I was said to be closer to the former mayor. What is it that I should have done; fought with him for others’ battles? No, my job was to manage the municipality and not fight the mayor. There was no need to make defamatory allegations,” said Mutshinyali. For the next five months, Mutshinyali waited at home for the process to move in some direction. The council denied that he had been suspended, stating that he was merely put on “special leave” to allow them time to investigate the allegations. On 31 May 2017, during a special meeting, the council resolved to withdraw all charges against Mutshinyali but to part ways with their municipal
manager. Even though the council allowed Mutshinyali to go back to his office and complete his contract, he knew that his contract would expire in a few months’ time, leaving him little option other than to accept the offer of almost R1,4 million. “In the end, it cost the council R3,3 million to get rid of me,” said Mutshinyali.
An unnecessary and destructive battle? Mutshinyali admitted that the practice where political leaders bring in “their own” people was nothing new. It happened even before 1994 in the then Louis Trichardt Town Council. When the Conservative Party took control of the council after the 1999 elections, a new town clerk was appointed with strong CP ties. “But during those days they did not wash their laundry in the open,” said Mutshinyali. The dirty politics has, however, left its mark on Mutshinyali. “It created a cloud of suspicion which still surrounds me. Even today, if I apply for a position, these rumours work against me,” he said. He has applied for numerous positions in the past year, but every time it is as if he has to defend his reputation. “They acted irresponsibly and ruined my career,” he said. Mutshinyali reckoned the problems in local government could be ascribed to a lack of continuity. The forming of political cliques undermines good governance. He names Thulamela Municipality as an example where the executive mayor has been in office for 10 years. “For Makhado to grow, whoever the mayor is should serve longer, unless he or she faces serious charges of financial misconduct,” he said. He also thinks mayors should be held personally responsible for misleading the council and spending municipal funds fruitlessly. “Political heads get away with a lot,” he said. As for the future, Mutshinyali is focusing on property development. “Circumstances forced me to break away from local government,” he said. He regards this as unfortunate, because he feels he still has a lot to offer to improve the lives of all through proper governance of municipalities.

Honorary rank of colonel bestowed upon King Toni By Kaizer Nengovhela
The Makhado Air Force Base honoured Khosikhulu Vho-Toni Mphephu Ramabulana by bestowing the rank of honorary colonel on him. Last Wednesday’s event was attended by senior traditional leaders from different areas, chiefs, community members and soldiers. The Chief of the Air Force, Genl FZ Msimang, said that the Air Force Base must pay tribute to all the women and men who safeguarded and served the nation. “This is the time for us to remember brave women and men and also to remember the fallen heroes who have made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty,” said Msimang. Msimang said that the appointment of honorary colonels was an established tradition in the South African National Defence Force. He said that the title of honorary colonel was granted to citizens of the Republic of South Africa who were carefully
selected and who had shown an interest in the readiness of the country’s National Defence Force bases or units. Msimang said that the presence of Ramabulana radiated hope to the Air Force and the local communities. “We know you will go the extra mile to make your presence felt as an honorary colonel to the air force base and the South African National Defence Force at large,” he said. When addressing people at the event and accepting the honorary rank, Ramabulana firstly thanked the officers at the air force base for bestowing this honour upon him. “I consider (this) not only as a personal honour, but as a token of recognition and appreciation of the struggle our people waged against oppression. More specifically, I take it as recognition and appreciation of the successes achieved by the South African government. This is indeed a recognition and appreciation of the Chief of the Air Force General FZ Msimang shakes hands with the new colonel, Khosikhulu Vhooutstanding calibre of the leadership of the senior Toni Mphephu Ramabulana after the event. traditional leaders around Venda,” he said.
Khosikhulu Vho-Toni Mphephu Ramabulana joined the parade at AFB Makhado last week as an honorary colonel.

wat amper nie ‘n brein het nie, want hulle is al honderde jare aan’t werk aan die plan en die wat nie volhoubaar is nie het uitgesterf,” het Holm gesê.

Die baie bekende entomoloog prof. Erik Holm het die afgelope naweek besoek gebring aan die Blouberg Natuurreservaat naby Vivo. Hy het gaste van die nie-winsgewende orga nisasie, Vriende van Blouberg (VVB), Saterdag toegespreek tydens ‘n borgefunksie wat op die reservaat aangebied is. Hierdie funksie het ten doel gehad om die ondersteuners van die VVB te bedank vir hulle bydrae tot die bewaringswerk wat gedoen word op die reservaat. Die Blouberg Natuurreservaat het geen bekendstelling nodig as dit kom by hul aasvoël-rehabilitasieprojek nie. Die reservaat staan tans aan die voorpunt van die bewaring van aasvoëls, meer spesifiek die bedreigde kransaasvoël wat teen die hange van Blouberg nesmaak. Die VVB is in 2013 in samewerking met die BirdLife Soutpansberg Voëlkykersklub gestig met die uitsluitlike doel om die natuurreservaat by te staan met geld en hulpbronne.

Dit is van die raarste goed op aarde en julle wat die champions daarvan is, die toekoms gaan vir julle baie dankie sê,” het Holm in sy toespraak gesê. Holm het bygevoeg dat daar ‘n hele leerskool van plante en diere in die Blouberg voorkom waarvan daar gerus afgekyk kan word om meer te leer oor volhoubaarheid en oorlewing. “Ons onderskat wat die natuur kan doen,” het prof.

Strikers win first clash in local T20 league Cricket News
Laerskool Louis Trichardt het ‘n spannetjie gehad wat Saterdag, 17 Maart, deelgeneem het aan die jaarlikse Ebenezermyl. Vanjaar was dit ‘n taai stryd as gevolg van misweer wat die swemtoestande belemmer het, en ook veroorsaak het dat die resies se wegspring met ‘n uur aangeskuif moes word. Die deelnemers was voor, van links na regs, Amaris Nortjé (500 m), juf. Karin de Wet (1 myl, 7de vir vroue 31 en ouer en 1ste vir vroue 50 en ouer), en Retief Hattingh (1 myl, 15de so.13). Agter is Owen Collins (500 m) en Willem Schutte (1 myl, 12de so.13).

The new league run by the Louis Trichardt Cricket Club started on a high note on Sunday when Strikers beat Vikings with 58 runs. Strikers batted first and thanks to a brilliant 53 runs scored from only 48 balls by Dirk-Pieter van den Berg, were off to a good start. Quinton Sillands (18) gave good support, but then wickets started falling. Riaan Hammann (15), Albertus Pieterse (21) and Ettienne van Heerden (24 not out) helped to take the score to 149/8 after 20 overs. Leon Furstenburg was Vikings’ best bowler, taking 3/24 in four overs. Louis van Jaarsveld took 2/29 in four overs. Vikings depended on their opening batsman, Craig Viljoen, to do the damage, and he did not
disappoint. Craig scored a whirlwind 67 runs from only 29 balls. In the process he hit four sixes and six fours. Unfortunately for Craig it was a solo effort. None of his team mates could get close to double figures. Strikers’ bowlers collected wickets in quick succession and with the score on only 91 the batsmen were back on the side of the field. Ettienne van Heerden was the star of the match, taking 5/7 in 2,4 overs. Dirk-Pieter van den Berg also took an excellent 3/3 in two overs, which included the wicket of Craig Viljoen. Paolo Piorek was a bit more expensive, but took 2/25 in three overs. The match between Limpopo Dairy and Vikings that was scheduled for Saturday (17th) had to be postponed because of the rain.
Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se o.14-, o.16- en o.19-meisieshokkiespelers het verlede week aan die provinsiale uitdunne deelgeneem en deurgedring na die tweede rondte. Hulle is voor, van links na regs, “Vossie” van Zyl, Sally Machochi en Luandi van Zyl. In die middel is Annika Schwerdtfeger, Riëtte Fisser en Danelle Venter. Agter is Jana du Plessis en Danika Malan.
