Toename in inbrake by wonings terwyl inwoners by die huis is, bron tot ernstige kommer

Inbrekers vier fees Deur Andries van Zyl

Die toename in inbrake en diefstalle by wonings in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) die afgelope twee maande is ‘n bron tot ernstige kommer.

“Dit wil voorkom asof veral die sentrale gebiede van die Nuwe Uit­ breiding geteiken word,” het die voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Dorpswag, mnr. Dirk Meissenheimer, Woensdagoggend gesê. Hy het toe pas teruggekeer van die toneel waar twee duplekswoonstelle in Protea­ straat net die vorige aand besteel is, terwyl die inwoners tuis was.

Die Zoutpansberger het die afge­ lope week besluit om self bietjie te probeer bepaal wat die omvang van die probleem is. Die besluit volg van­ weë die polisie se volgehoue weiering om misdaadstatistieke ten opsigte van navrae oor huisbrake aan die koerant en publiek bekend te maak.

Kommerwekkend is dat huisbrake by wonings terwyl die inwoners by die huis is, al hoe meer algemeen voorkom. Dit was die geval by die woonstelle in Proteastraat. Terwyl die inwoners rustig gelê en slaap het op die boonste verdieping, het die booswigte die onderste vloer geplunder.

Mnr. Fanie van Zyl en sy gesin van Kameelstraat het dieselfde oorge­ kom. Hy het Vrydagoggend (17de) opgestaan en klaargemaak om werk toe te gaan. “Ek het aanvanklik niks agtergekom nie. Ek het klaargemaak

en uitgestap na my bakkie toe … dit was toe dat ek modderspore in my huis sien. Ek het geweet dit is nie een van ons se spore nie,” het Fanie Woensdag gesê. Hy het die spore gevolg na die venster in hul eetkamer, die gordyne oopgetrek en met ‘n skok gesien die een venster is oop en die diefwering is geknip en opgebuig.

“Half verdwaas het ek rondgekyk maar kon niks verkeerd sien nie …

Eers later het ons besef my seun se Playstation en my skootrekenaar is weg … Dit is duidelik dat hulle net gevat het wat hulle spesifiek wil hê en aan niks anders geraak of geskuif het nie,” het Fanie gesê. Hy voeg by dat hy die Maandag na die inbraak by sy versekeraars aangekom het waar hy ‘n oom ontmoet het wat in Leeu­ straat bly. Dié se huis is, terwyl hy in Musina was, daardie selfde aand as die inbraak by hom, deur diewe feitlik leeggesteel. Op 7 Januarie het ook mnr. Heine de Jager en sy familie by hul woning in Acaciastraat ‘n wrede ontnugtering gehad. Terwyl hulle gelê en slaap het, het booswigte ook by hulle die sitkamervenster oopgemaak, die diefwering geknip en die gesin beroof van twee rekenaartablette, ‘n skootrekenaar, kamera en vyf selfone.

Vir Heine se vrou Leonie was die inbraak veral traumaties weens die besef dat die inbrekers die aand langs haar bed gestaan het waar hulle haar selfoon van die bedkassie af gesteel het. Heine vermoed die inbrekers het iets in hul slaapkamer gespuit om te

verhoed dat hulle wakker word.

“Daar was ‘n groot geel kol op die buitekant van die slaapkamer gordyn en ek is daarvan oortuig dit is iets wat hulle in ons slaapkamer gespuit het,” het Heine gesê. Die geskatte waarde van die gesteel­ de goedere is sowat R60 000.

Alhoewel die voorval nie in die Nuwe Uitbreiding plaasgevind het nie, het ‘n middernagtelike besoeker ook vir die 74­jarige mnr. Gert van Zyl van Jeppestraat laat skrik. Omstreek 02:15 op Sondag, 22 Desember verlede

Munisipaliteit traag om oortreders vas te vat

Besighede wat onwettig in residensiële areas bedryf word, is volgens munisipale bestuurder Sakkie Mutshinyali ‘n rare verskynsel, en dié wat dit wel doen, is gevra om op te hou. Hierdie foto is verlede Donderdag geneem by Mooketsi Towing Services in Olifantstraat 80.

Nog ‘n tuiste-besigheid wat vrae laat ontstaan het, is ‘n skrootwerf in Groblerstraat 49, oorkant die Sewendedagse Adventiste Kerk. Hierdie perseel staan van hoek tot kant vol voertuie in verskillende stadiums van onklaarheid.

Deur Isabel Venter

Ocean Basket weer teiken van rowers Die Ocean Basket restaurant in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het vir die soveelste keer die slagoffers geword van ‘n roof.

Eienaar mnr. Johan Kirsten het die week vertel wat gebeur het. Die voorval het Sondagaand plaasgevind, terwyl hy in Pre­ toria was.

Ongeveer 21:30 het sy be­ stuur­der, mev. Newi Mushome, die restaurant gesluit en huis toe begin gestap saam met ‘n kelner. Mushome bly in ‘n woonstel agter Ocean Basket in Pieter Ottostraat. Dit was terwyl Mushome in haar tuinpaadjie afgestap het, dat sy ‘n kabaal

gehoor het.

Drie mans het die kelner, wat gewag het vir Mushome om veilig in haar huis te kom, aangeval.

Mushome het in die hoekie van die tuin gaan wegkruip, en toe sy hoor hoe die mans op die kelner skreeu vir die winkel se sleutels, het sy die sleutels weg­ ge­gooi oor die muur. ‘n Opsigter by Kirsten’s Druk­kery, wat grens aan die agterkant van Mushome se woonstel, het die rowers gehoor en gehardloop om die polisie te ontbied.

Volgens Johan het die polisie

ook net betyds tot Mushome se redding opgedaag. Die rowers het haar intussen in die tuin ge­ sien wegkruip en haar en die kel­ ner in die woonstel inge­dwing.

Hier het die rowers hulle, saam met Mushome se twee kinders, begin slaan en skop terwyl hulle aangedring het op die winkel se sleutels.

Die rowers het op die vlug geslaan toe hulle besef die polisie is op pad.

Johan het bevestig dat die saak aangemeld is en dat die polisie die saak ondersoek.

Teen druktyd was daar nog geen arrestasies gemaak nie.

Court News

Little progress in infamous “hand case” There is still no progress in the town’s brutal and infamous “hand case.”

The 38-year-old Freddy Azwi­ tamisi Tshikhudo, who stands accused of the murder of Rum­ bidzai Manyere (36), appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court again on Friday, 17 Janu­ ary. He was arrested almost eight

months ago, in April of last year, at Elti Café in Eltivillas, when he allegedly tried to rob the business by using a severed human arm.

The following day, Tshikhu­ do led the Makhado police to the place where the murdered Manyere’s body was found.

Manyere’s right arm, both eyes and her private parts had been re­

moved. Her body itself was in an advanced state of decomposition.

Tshikhudo is currently facing two counts of rape, and single counts of murder, housebreaking and robbery.

His case was postponed until 28 February. He will remain in custody until then.

Court News

Inquest follows drowning of baby The SAPS at Musina have opened an inquest docket after a three-year-old baby drowned in a swimming pool at the mother’s work place on Monday.

According to the spokesperson for the Musina police, Const Da­ kalo Ramagwede, a 44-year-old

mother, who works as a domestic worker at a local lodge, was busy cleaning when she noticed that the baby was not inside the house.

“She went to look for the baby,” said Ramagwede. “Sadly, she found her inside the swimming pool.”

The woman then screamed for

help and another lady came over and jumped inside the water.

She lifted the baby out of the swimming pool. “Unfortunate­ ly, the baby was already dead,” Ramagwede said. “As the police, we are calling on all mothers and guardians to always keep an eye on children.”

Hier in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) hoef dit jou nie miljoene uit die sak te jaag om ‘n besigheid op die been te bring nie.

Huuruitgawes, belastings en lone wat vir wettige sakemense maandeliks ‘n kopseer is, word maklik ontduik as jou kantoor vanaf ‘n munisipale sypaad­ jie bedryf word.

Enige iemand kan nou ‘n sakeman word.

As daar tans na die ellendige stand van die dorp se sypaadjies gekyk word – en daar in ag geneem word dat die munisipaliteit in twee jaar nog nie die situasie kon beredder nie – is dit die enigste gevolgtrekking wat gemaak kan word.

Bo en behalwe die onwettige besighede wat orals vanaf die sypaadjies bedryf word, is daar ook nou sakepersele wat opskiet in die residensiële areas.

Een só ‘n besigheid is Mooketsi Towing Services in Olifantstraat 80. Omliggende inwoners in hierdie netjiese woongebied moet nou al meer as twee jaar langs die morsige erf leef. “Dit is onooglik – par­ tykeer staan die scrap motors buite in die straat,” het ‘n inwoner vertel wat nie geïdentifiseer wou word nie.

Daar is ook glo, volgens die bure in Olifantstraat, al munisipale verkeersvoertuie by Mooketsi Tow­ ing opgemerk. Nie vir wetstoepassing nie, maar wel glo as klante.

Nog ‘n tuiste-besigheid wat vrae laat ontstaan het, is ‘n skrootwerf in Groblerstraat 49, oorkant die Sewendedagse Adventiste Kerk. Hierdie perseel staan van hoek tot kant vol voertuie in verskillende stadiums van onklaarheid.

Groblerstraat, langs Fruit & Veg City, is nou ‘n plek waar onwettige motorwerktuigkundiges hulle dienste aanbied. Build It op die hoek van Kruger- en Joubertstraat gebruik die sypaadjie om sement en bakstene te stoor, terwyl grondverskuiwingsmas­ jinerie vanaf die sypaadjie op die aangrensende leë erf uitverhuur word.

Vir die afgelope twee weke het die Zoutpansberger ‘n antwoord vanaf munisipale bestuurder mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali probeer bekom.

Dit was egter gou duidelik dat daar nie maklik antwoorde gekry sou word op medianavrae nie.

Buiten dat die munisipale woordvoerders met verlof was, het Mutshinyali sy lys van vrae eers na die “relevante departemente aangestuur vir antwoorde”. Dit was Vrydag, 10 Januarie.

Opvolgoproepe is gemaak, en Mutshinyali het belowe om teen 17 Januarie antwoorde reg te hê.

Die Zoutpansberger het Mutshinyali spesifiek gepols oor wetstoepassing rondom onwettige be­ sigheide in beide residensiële areas asook op die sypaadjies. Hy is verder ook gevra of die persele

in Olifant- en Groblerstraat van “Residensiël 1” na “Besigheid 1” hersoneer is.

Dit is ook onder sy aandag gebring dat, in die geval van Mooketsi Towing, die munisipaliteit reeds in Oktober 2011 erken het dat dié besigheid onwettig bedryf word op ‘n erf wat gesoneer is as “Residensieël 1”. In die geval van die onwettige sypaadjie mechanics het die munisipaliteit, by monde van hulle woordvoerder, mnr. Louis Bob­ odi, in 2013 erken dat dit ook onwettig is.

In beide gevalle het die munisipaliteit toe al beloftes gemaak om ‘n stokkie daarvoor te steek en boetes uit te deel.

Maandag, 20 Januarie, het die koerant ‘n e-pos ontvang vanaf Mutshinyali waarin hy erken dat die munisipaliteit verantwoordelik is vir die wets­ toepassing van munisipale ordinasies rakende die sypaadjies, en dat dit wel gedoen word.

Dit is hier waar sy e-pos egter begin vaag word.

“Ja, wetstoepassing word gedoen, en boetes is uitgereik aan dié wat die ordonasies oortree het, en ander is dienooreenkomstig gewaarsku,” het Mutshinyali in sy e-pos gesê. Hy het nie verder uit­ gebrei oor hoeveel boetes, of aan wie dit gedurende 2013 uitgereik is nie.

Besighede wat onwettig in residensiële areas bedryf word, is volgens Mutshinyali ook ‘n rare verskynsel. “Die [besighede] wat onder die aandag gekom het van die munisipaliteit is in kennis gestel en gevra om sulke aktiwiteite te staak, en hulle het gehoor gegee,” het Mutshinyali gesê.

Volgens Mutshinyali is daar geen boetes vir sulke besighede in die afgelope 24 maande uit­ gereik nie.

Hersoneringsvrae oor die besighede in Olifanten Groblerstraat moes weer ‘n keer by Mutshinyali opgevolg word. Hy het Dinsdag bevestig dat die erf in Groblerstraat 79 in 2012 na “Besigheid 1” hersoneer is. Hy het bevestig dat die eienaar in terme van sy proklamasie sy perseel mag gebruik om voertuie te verkoop. Die perseel mag nie vir ‘n skrootwerf gebruik word nie, en geboue moet netjies na buite vertoon ingevolge dié voorwaardes.

In die geval van Mooketsi Towing is die erf steeds ‘n residensiële erf. “Die eienaar is besig om munisipale bywette te oortree as die perseel geb­ ruik word vir ‘n ‘insleepdiens’,” het Mutshinyali gesê. Hy het verder bevestig dat oortredingsbriewe uitgereik sal word in beide gevalle.

Teen druktyd het Mutshinyali nie terug geant­ woord oor wanneer die briewe uitgereik sal word nie, en ook nie of daar aandag gegee sal word aan die sypaadjiesakemanne nie.

Inbrake by wonings skiet die hoogte in (Vervolg van p. 1) “My hele lewe het ek egter hierdie ‘sesde sintuig’, en dié het my aangeraai om net bietjie wakker te lê en nie dadelik weer te gaan slaap nie. ‘n Rukkie later vra my vrou: ‘Wie stap in die gang?’ Die volgende oomblik gaan die ganglig aan,” het Gert vertel.

Hy het sag en versigtig hul kamerdeur oopgesluit en toe die deur oopgeruk. Groot was sy skok toe daar op daardie presiese oomblik ‘n groot-geboude man voor hom in die gang staan. Die man het Gert uit die pad gestamp en na die aangrensende kamer gehardloop. “Ek kon dit nie glo nie. Hy het in een beweging op die bed gespring en is by die stukkend-geslaande kamerven­ ster weer uit!” Gelukkig het Gert hom betyds betrap, voordat hy iets kon steel.

Die volgende dag sou Gert by die speurders hoor dat die booswig(te) dieselfde aand ook by sy bure, die Davhana-egpaar, ingebreek het terwyl hulle tuis was. Ook hulle kon daarin slaag om die man te verwilder.

“Ek dink hierdie is die werk van ‘n sindikaat wat tans kyk

hoeveel hulle in die dorp kan skep. In meeste gevalle is die modus operandi dieselfde: Hulle breek in terwyl die huismense slaap deur ‘n venster oop te maak en die diefwering te knip. My raad is dat mense maar liewers al hul vensters in die aand moet toemaak, moet seker maak hul deure is gesluit, en nie items soos sakrekenaars en telefone laat rondlê nie. As jou hond blaf, gaan kyk maar hoekom blaf hy, maar wees net versigtig. Moet ook nie items soos tuingereedskap, klerasie en fietse buite los in die aand nie,” was Dirk se raad aan inwoners namens die dorpswag.

Daar is ook heelwat ander gevalle van huisbraak en dief­ stalle die afgelope twee maande aan die Zoutpansberger gerap­ porteer, maar daar kan nog baie meer gevalle wees. Dieselfde week waar daar by die De Jagers ingebreek is, is daar ook goedere gesteel buite mnr. Dirk du Preez se woning. Op 4 Desember is daar by De Jager se buurman oorkant die straat, mnr. Carel Breytenbach, ‘n kragopwekker gesteel. “Dit is vir my vreemd want die kragopwekker was agter die huis vasgemaak. Hulle

moes inligting gehad het,” het Carel gesê. Op 23 Desember het mnr. Tinus van der Linden van Forestryweg teruggekeer na sy huis, wat ondertussen deur inbre­kers geplunder is. Hulle het die voorafgaande naweek op Waterpoort gekuier. Elek­ triese ware, klerasie en juwele is onder meer gesteel, ten bedrae van net meer as R50 000. Op 11 Januarie rapporteer mnr. Jacobus Smith van Acacia Woonstelle (Elandstraat) dat die battery uit sy Hyundai bakkie gesteel is. Ook in Waterbessiestraat lyk sake nie beter nie. Mev. Tshebo Legodi het aan die koerant gesê dat sy ook verlede jaar verlies gelei het vanweë diefstal. “Die situasie is tans baie sleg. Die misdaad is geweldig erg en mens voel glad nie meer veilig in jou eie huis nie,” het Tshebo gesê. (Weens die feit dat die polisie nie misdaadsyfers wil bekend maak nie, wil die Zoutpansberger graag op hoogte bly van misdaadtendense om inwoners vroegtydig van probleme te waarsku. Inwoners wat die slagoffers van ‘n misdaad was, kan ‘n kort opsomming van gebeure e-pos na news@zoutnet. co.za.).

Dobbelhuis-saak word voorlopig teruggetrek Die saak teen drie mense wat na bewering ‘n onwettige dobbelhuis in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) bedryf het, is voorlopig teruggetrek.

Zonica Naudé (19), haar kêrel Jacques Jansen van Vuuren (19) en Lorraine Ndivhuwo Sadiki (28) is verlede jaar in Desember gearresteer by die Internet Entertainment Lounge by die Makhado Crossing winkelkompleks. Hulle is aangekla op klagtes wat verband hou met onwettige dobbelary in terme van die nasionale en provinsiale dobbel­ wette. Hulle het verlede Vrydag (17de) in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn. ‘n Polisie-ondersoek het aan die lig gebring dat die drie glo al vir ‘n geruime tyd ‘n beweerde dobbelhuis, onder die vaandel van ‘n Internetkafee,

bedryf het. Tydens die arrestasie is daar beslag gelê op al die toerusting van die Internet Entertainment Lounge. Advertensiemateriaal buite die winkel, wat verwys na sosiale media soos Facebook en Twitter is glo gebruik om kliënte om die bos te lei.

Die rekenaars waarop daar na bewering gedobbel is, kon die koerant intussen vasstel, is Maandag aan die eienaar terugbesorg in terme van ‘n Hoog­ geregshofbevel. Die eienaar se identiteit kan nog nie bekend gemaak word nie, want hy mag dalk nog later vervolging in die gesig staar. Dit is juis om hierdie rede dat die saak teen Naudé, Jansen van Vuuren en Sadiki eers net voorlopig teruggetrek is – om die polisie kans te gee om hul ondersoek af te handel en die saak hofgereed te kry.

Policeman suspended pending case A member of the police service in Makhado Sgt Funanani Edwin Bugana (40) is currently (Louis Trichardt), suspected of aiding and facing criminal charges after he allegedly misused abetting suspected robbers, has been suspended. state resources to supply robbers with police iden­ tification documents. Bugana is an LCRC (Local Criminal Record Centre) official, responsible for documenting crime scenes. He allegedly used his state-issued camera and computer to falsify the documents.

Pension money gone after cashier’s “help” A pensioner discovered that he had been defrauded when he used his SASSA card this month “Please, let all those getting old-age grants read this, and if they can’t read, let their children read for them. I want to warn them to be very alert,” said Mr Joggie Pieterse (74) of Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Pieterse bought goods to the value of R174.90 at a shop in the Makhado Crossing mall with his SAS­ SA card and asked the cashier to withdraw R300 for him. The cashier completed the transaction.

“The cashier then said that a mistake had occurred and it had to be done again, whereafter the cashier did another transaction with my card, asking me for my pin number a second time,” said Pieterse.

These transactions took place on New Year’s Day. The amount withdrawn should have been R474.90.

On 5 January, Pieterse went to withdraw money from a bank. “I realized that I was short of R200,” Pieterse said. He tried the ATMs of a couple of banks to get more information, but only Capitec Bank gave some information, which was the balance on the card. Pieterse decided to withdraw another R580 at an ATM before that got lost as well. The next step was to get a statement of the transactions to show that it did not match his till slips.

He called SASSA’s customer care line and held on for more than seven minutes. When he got through, he found that he couldn’t hear what the

person was saying, due to unclear speech. Pieterse therefore drove to his son, Francois, who was in Levubu at the time and asked him to phone.

They found that the only way that they could obtain a statement of the transactions on Pieterse’s SASSA card was to give an email address to Grin­ drod Financial Services. His son supplied an email address and they eventually received a statement (photo below), showing that R674.90 had been withdrawn at Pick n Pay instead of R474.90. The R200 was indeed gone. “I went back to Pick n Pay and the manager was very approachable and accommodating. I was fortunate to receive my R200 back on 8 January, but I was worried that this could happen to many pensioners in different plac­ es, without their even realizing it,” Pieterse said.

The manager of the local Pick n Pay, Mr Louis Jordaan, said on 13 January that the problem with Mr Pieterse had been sorted out and they were busy with procedures regarding the cashier involved.

“You work with people and anything can happen, but we handle such cases immediately, following our internal procedures,” Jordaan said.

SASSA confirmed on 16 January that a pensioner will not be able to get a statement at a bank. Should the beneficiary of a social grant require a statement, it can be sent via email or fax. Should the bene­ ficiary be unable to receive a statement by any of these ways, he or she can go to the SASSA office and ask them to get a printed statement .

“In future I think I shall withdraw the whole grant amount at once,” said Pieterse.

That still might not be the solution, since car­ rying a lot of cash poses its own risks.

Hierdie groepie nuwe leerling-onderwysers het aan die begin van die jaar by Laerskool Louis Trichardt aangesluit vir hul indiensopleiding. Hulle is, van links na regs, Ruan Venter (seniorfase Graad 4 tot 9 Afrikaans), Heidi-Lene Jonck (intermediêrefase Graad 4 tot 9), Leandra Bester (BSc Plant- en dierkunde en seniorfase Graad 3) en Miché König (intermediêren seniorfase Graad 1 en 2).

• OBSERVATION EVENING The Soutpansberg Astronomy Club (SAC) will hold its first stargazing evening of the year on Satur­ day, 25 January, from sunset onwards.

The SAC’s stargazing evenings are open to the general public and everyone is welcome. The last quarter moon rises a couple of hours after midnight, giving us ample time for dark skies.

The planet Jupiter was at opposition early in January and is well positioned for observing.

Jupiter’s most famous feature is its Great Red Spot (GRS). The spot was named around 1878 when it turned a vivid brick red, but in recent de­ cades it has generally been a much less conspic­ uous pale tan. The Red Spot is a vast, long­lived storm, spinning like a cyclone. However, unlike low­pressure cyclones and hurricanes on earth, the GRS rotates in a counter­clockwise direc­

tion in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere, showing that it is a high­pressure system. The GRS will be near the central meridian at 20:97 and well placed for viewing. A shadow transit of one of the four Galilean moons, Ganymede, begins at 20:04 and ends at 23:22 and during this time one can observe the moon’s shadow as it crosses the Jovian disk.

Some of the deep­sky objects that will be viewed are the Great Nebula in Orion (M42), a supernova remnant, the Crab Nebula (M1), NGC 2070, the Tarantula Nebula, as well as the ‘new star”, Nova Cent 2013, amongst many others.

BRIEWE / LETTERS

“Politicians should show the same respect for the laws of the country”

O

ur new and fragile democracy is slipping irrevocably into an inev­ itable “Idiocracy”! Our elected lead­ ers are bulldozing idiotic legislation through our parliament, forcing courts to uphold these “laws” and expecting the electorate to accept and applaud their leadership. Actions which can only be described as such are being celebrated with the trumpeting of vuvuselas and the riotous dancing of ill-disciplined throngs of an intimidat­ ed and vulnerable population.

I refer specifically to an incident at about 09:30 on a happily busy Saturday morning at the N1 / Son­ gozwi St intersection. (Perhaps the busy activity on the intersection was obscured by the election propagan­ da poster illegally fitted to a traffic sign).

A cavalcade of high and mighty ministerial importance was en route to some or other indescribably important rendezvous north of Louis Trichardt. It’s always surprising that the wheels of government turn so tediously slowly when there is work that needs doing ... no amount of red-tape-cutting is able to speed it up, but it is regularly necessary to zoom politicians to and fro between appointments (which presumably were made in advance) at a vehicle speed and driving style which is illegal and seriously dangerous not only to the politicians and traffic authorities involved, but also to the unfortunate vassals who happen to be sharing the road with them.

This particular blue light ca­ valcade, consisting of two traf­ fic-department-driven escorts, two black-windowed, very flashy, black SUVs (surely clear glass would en­

hance the publicity of the individual and give the opportunity for an oc­ casional royal wave, or am I being naive?) and a rear guard, blasted through the said intersection at great speed, ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IN THE FACE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ma­king no apparent effort to slow down or in any way acknowledge the stop signs. What kind of traffic safety training have these traffic officers had? What would have become of the hapless citizen, in­ volved in his own little life-threaten­ ing emergency, had he attempted to pull such a cavalier move? Reckless driving? A breathalyzer test? Most certainly an arrest, which is unthin­ kable on a Saturday morning. What would the outcome have been had there been an inexperienced driver at the stop street? These and other questions must surely come to mind.

I had the misfortune of being on a motorcycle approaching the intersection from the north and was acutely aware of my vulnerability should this idiotic behaviour go wrong, which it most thankfully did not.

This entire incident happened under the watchful eye of our coun­ try’s leader in the form of a ruling party advertisement which boldly proclaims “ANC live (sic) ANC leads.” The outrageous driving of the traffic officers leading the caval­ cade and the authority that dictated it, did NOTHING to demonstrate either of the two sentiments ex­ pressed on the advertisement. What gives any politician the right to so flagrantly flaunt the very legislation that they promulgate? What gives

him or her the right to senselessly and recklessly endanger the lives of the very people who elected them in the first place. And then apparently be above the law when brought to book?

It appears that the ancient social law of “idiots elect, idiots rule” applies.

How tragic that this has become acceptable in this democracy which boasts one of the most modern constitutions on earth.

My appeal to the ministers of transport, safety and security, local government, all of them, and even the very President himself, is to start behaving in a manner which is worthy of emulating and is worthy of the approval of the electorate

AND civil servants. Lead from the front, by and with the example of “Leadership” and perhaps this country will be able to claw its way out of the pathetic state in which it now finds itself.

To road users in general my ap­ peal is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Don’t succumb to this slide into lawless­ ness and anarchy on our roads. We cannot expect the rule of law to just happen, we have to make it happen by being example-setting, law-abi­ ding citizens. Perhaps our “leaders” will eventually turn and follow our example.

Bruce Murray.

Daisy, nog nie heeltemal die plaasmeisie wat sy veronderstel is om te wees nie, kry ‘n uitnodiging om op safari te gaan. Te midde van die harde werk begin sy nuwe dinge leer van haarself en kom agter die tydperk in die bos het sy merk gelaat.

se nuwe kleure begin wys op ‘n safari D

ie selfoon se gelui dring stadig deur Daisy se slaapnewels.

Op sigself is dit ‘n buitengewone gebeurtenis: elkeen wat vir Daisy ken weet dat sy twee ure nadat sy haar oë oopmaak eers in staat is tot sinvolle kommunikasie. Veral op ‘n Maandagog­ gend.

“Ek hoop jy’t vervlaks goeie rede om my hierdie tyd van die oggend te bel,” grom Daisy sonder om te kyk wie praat.

“More, mooiste meisie in die hele wêreld! Is jou oë nog so groen soos die Springbokvlakte na ‘n goeie reënseisoen?” Die welluidende stem wil-wil vir Daisy bekend klink.

“Wie wil weet?” mor Daisy ongeskik. “En sê sommer gou ook wat jy wil sê; die hoenders het nog nie begin kraai nie en dan hoef ek nog nie maniere te hê nie!”

Die man bulder soos hy lag. “Ag, ou Daisy, ek is so bly party dinge bly altyd dieselfde!

Gaan maak gou vir jou koffie dan bel ek jou oor tien minute terug as jy kan sense praat.” Sonder verdere omhaal sit die man die foon neer.

Vier ure later is Daisy op pad Pretoria toe; vier-en-twintig uur later stop die konvooi safa­ rivoertuie anderkant Martin’s Drift grenspos vir ‘n laat ontbyt. Die groot man met die bulderstem en groot baard sit sy arm om Daisy se skouers.

“Ja toe, Daisy. Hierdie is die laaste keer wat ek die kookwerk doen. Dis net om jou vir oulaas te oriënteer - van nou af is jy in beheer van al die kos en catering. Vanaand is jou vuurdoop daar

by Nata waar ons gaan kamp. Hierdie Duitsers gaan lekker honger wees! Maar hél, is ek bly

dat jy op so kort kennisgewing kon uithelp op hierdie safari!” Daisy lag uit haar maag uit.

“Baardman, jy weet daar is vir my geen groter lekker as om in die bos rond te flenter nie! Baie dankie dat jy aan my gedink het toe jou sjef jou in die steek laat!”

Die tien dae in Botswana word ‘n warrelwind van onvergeetlike sonopkomste wanneer die kamp opgepak word, die opslaan van die kamp voor sononder sodat die gaste elke aand met ‘n glas in die hand langs ‘n groot vuur kan begin.

Die natuur is besonder gul – daar is troppe oli­ fante, kameelperde, koedoes, leeus. In die delta verlig die baldadige gesig van duisende waterle­ lies die stres van heeltyd op die uitkyk wees vir krokodille en seekoeie.

Daisy is in haar element. Elke dag is vir haar ‘n bladsy uit die joernaal van Karin Blixen – sy kombineer die aardsheid van Afrika met per­ fek-gedekte tafels, lapservette en pragtige disse.

Daar is bottels Suid-Afrikaanse shiraz saam met die individuele Beef Wellingtons wat in ‘n ysterpot gebak is, yskoue chardonnay saam met die hoender in kappertjiesous. Geen moeite is te veel vir die moeilike en kritiese Duitsers nie.

Daisy se energie is onblusbaar – sy is eerste op in die oggend om die kamp met moerkoffie en beskuit wakker te maak, sy gaan slaap eers nadat die laaste skottelgoed skoon en weggepak is.

Die laaste aand van die safari kom sit Baard­ man by Daisy voor die vuur. Hy gooi nog ‘n stomp op en maak Daisy se wynglas weer vol sonder om te vra.

“Daisy, ek kan half nie my oë glo nie,” kom Baardman sonder omhaal tot die punt. “Jy weet ek is jou grootste fan, al het jy my hart gebreek toe jy daai stadsmannetjie bo my gekies het.

Maar ek het wragtig nie geglo jy kan in die bos oorleef nie. Ek moet nou maar eerlik wees, as dit nie was dat ek so dêm desperaat was vir ‘n

sjef nie, sou ek nooit gedroom het om jou saam te vat nie. Jy was nog altyd so vol geite en vrese – jy het op die naaste tafel gespring en gegil as ‘n spinnekop net na jou kant toe kyk. Nou dra jy boetse en maak die skerpioene en spinnekoppe vir die gaste dood. Wat het gebeur?”

Vir lank antwoord Daisy nie. Sy kyk stip in die vuur en haar gedagtes loop ‘n voetpaadjie.

“Ek dink dit gebeur as mens regtig grootword, Baardman. As mens nie meer op ander mense staatmaak nie en jouself meer vertrou,” ant­ woord sy ernstig. “Dan eers kan mens werklik van jouself gee.”

Terug in Pretoria sit Daisy en Baardman by die Boardwalk en kyk vir die laaste son oor die klein mensgemaakte watergat. Die Duitse toeriste is songebak en moeg in die vliegtuig op pad Frankfurt toe. Iemand anders dra die drank en kos aan vir Daisy en Baardman.

“Terwyl ons nou so lekker ontspan, Daisy, kan ons net sowel ook by die lekker gedeelte uitkom.

Die Duitsers het vir jou ‘n tip gelos. ‘n Gróte.

Regtig gróót. Hulle was baie beïndruk met ons diens; het ons sommer klaar bespreek vir nog ‘n trippie volgende jaar. Hier’s jou koevertjie, Daisy. Ek het sommer jou salaris vir die week ook daarby gesit. Jy sal dit nie glo nie, maar dit alles saam is amper genoeg vir ‘n deposito op ‘n oulike kar...”

Sy loer vinnig in die koevert. Haar mond hang oop toe sy weer vir Baardman kyk.

“Nou toe, Daisy. My volgende safari is eers oor twee weke. Wat sê jy daarvan dat ek jou sommer self terugvat plaas toe en dan kuier ek ‘n bietjie daar by jou? Daai stadskêreltjie is mos nie meer in jou lewe nie en ek kan nie wag om meer uit te vind oor die Daisy wat nou grootge­ word het nie!”

Vir ‘n verandering het Daisy geen woorde toe sy in Baardman se oë kyk nie.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

11

Jakobus 1:13-18

S

onde is verskriklik want dit beteken die volmaakte wet van God word verbreek. Die Here het gesê: “Die loon van die sonde is die dood.” (Rom. 6:23).

Al die probleme en ellende in die wêreld is as gevolg van sonde. Ons is almal van nature sondaars. Ons kan nie help om te sondig nie want ons het ons sondige natuur van Adam geërf. ‘n Engel van God het aan Josef ver­ skyn en vir hom gesê: “Sy (Maria) sal ‘n Seun in die wêreld bring, en jy moet Hom Jesus noem, want dit is Hy wat Sy volk van hul sondes sal verlos.”

Christene is mense wie se natuur ver­ ander is. Hulle haat nou sonde en is lief vir God en lewe in ‘n lewende verhou­ ding met Hom, deur Jesus Christus ons Here. So word ons verander na die beeld van Christus. Die Heilige Gees is die Een wat dit in God se kinders doen.

Hoe doen Hy dit?

Deur die Bybel. Daar lees ons hoe God wil hê dat ons moet lewe. Deur die Woord leer ons gehoorsaamheid.

Die Heilige Gees gebruik ook ons gewete. Die Here gebruik ons gewete om ons te laat besef dat ons gesondig het.

Luister na jou gewete.

1 Joh. 2:1: “Ek skrywe aan julle, my liewe kinders, dat julle nie moet sondig nie. En as een van ons sondig - ons het Jesus Christus, die regverdige, as ons voorspraak by die Vader.”

Dus, wanneer one berou en belydenis opreg is, word ons deur God vergewe, op grond van Jesus se dood aan die kruis.

Hierdie nuwe “babas” is eintlik die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg se nuwe Graad 8’s, besig met oriëntering. Voor is Koala (Wicus Botha). In die middel, van links na regs, is Mowgli (Clarissa Klaasen) en Barbie (Gray Badenhorst). Agter is Ken (Aneia Turner), Snape (Zhanté Booysen) en die naamlose Anri Crause.

Die Soutpansberg Sakekamer in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het groot planne vir die nuwe jaar.

Hulle het op 6 Desember hul jaar afgesluit met ‘n beplanningsessie vir 2014 by die Lalapanzi Hotel.

Hul volgende bestuursvergadering vind op 3 Februarie om 18:00 by Harcourts se kantore plaas.

Nie-lede word genooi om betrokke te raak by die sakekamer. In die foto verskyn voor, van links na regs, Corné Smith en Gwen Loots. Agter is Pieter Els, Brian du Plooy, Elsabé Bezuidenhout en Jana Smith. Vir meer inligting oor die sakekamer, skakel Elsabé by 082 308 0472. Foto verskaf.

Gwendolyn Weeks (wiskunde Graad 8 en natuurwetenskappe Graad 8 en 9), mnr. Jacques Kotzé (besigheidstudies Graad 12 en ekonomiese bestuurswetenskappe Graad 8), en mev. Martie Oberholzer (Engels eerste addisionele Taal Graad 10 en Engels huistaal Graad 8). Agter is mnre. Pieter Pieterse (wiskunde Graad 10 en 11) en Kobus Oberholzer (ingenieursgrafika-ontwerp Graad 10 en 11).

Tourism Show Case: Madi a Thavha Lodge

The Soutpansberg area has a wide variety of places to see and things to do, from hiking trails to bushman caves, picnicking beside waterfalls, fishing or visiting a local gallery.

The Soutpansberg Chamber of Commerce and Soutpansberg Tourism will feature local destinations to reveal our local secret treasures, hidden from the hustle and bustle of busy lives; we invite you to discover these sought after serene spots as we open up the treasure-chest of our lovely Soutpansberg area.

Apart from being a beautifully located haven at the foot of the Soutpansberg, Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge also boasts an extraordinary heritage museum, art gallery and arts-and-crafts shop with a distinct Soutpansberg flavour.

The Dancing Fish Gallery at the lodge exhibits contemporary artworks from local artists and houses an exquisite exhibition of the history of the Soutpansberg, vividly explaining how all its peoples shaped the region from ancient times until now. The curators of this truly world-class heritage museum are internationally respected anthropologists Petra Terblanche and Harold Kolkman.

Dutch owner Marcelle Bosch, a formidable supporter of rural development in the surrounding local communities, got her feet firmly planted in the red African soil nine years ago, when she and her partner Aart bought this farm 10km west of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on the Vivo road (R522) and built up the lodge from scratch.

Madi a Thavha now specialises in sustainable tourism and is a four-star, Fair Trade-listed lodge (an international quality rating) to which former guests habitually return and rave about. “Really friendly, informed and well-trained staff, wonderful, authentic art and craft shop with quality items.

Outrageous personalised service,” are comments frequently popping up in the visitors’ books. Madi a Thavha routinely hosts interesting guests who become part of a growing family of kindred spirits with an affinity for simpler, honest, healthy and sustainable living.

The lodge has neat catered and self-catering units oozing the culture-rich flair of the region.

Madi a Thavha has a wide range of tours or packages on offer too: their birding trips or visits to local Venda and Tsonga artists on day-trips (selfdrive or guided, with picnic baskets if ordered) are the most popular. “Visitors like to experience local customs and cultures firsthand, such as traditional dances, medicines, indigenous food, arts and craft

made in authentic homesteads. Drumming at artist Thomas Kubayi’s studio in rural Venda, as well as the sight of majestic baobabs in the setting sun on a dust road, is always a hit,’ says Marcelle.

The restaurant offers a set menu of healthy and delicious three-course evening meals and can accommodate 18-20 people at a time (excluding the pool dining area that caters exclusively for guests). Day visitors who would like to book meals - breakfast, lunch or dinner - can phone Marcelle to do so. All bookings must be done at least one day in advance for visits to the museum or artand-craft shop or to hike to the huge baobab at the top. The museum fee is R20 per adult and R10 for children under 12 and the restaurant will be open during the day for coffee and the ‘sweet or sandwich’ of the day. They also offer conference facilities for small groups of fewer than 20 people.

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho

Hawkers at war with Makhado Municipality The Zoutpansberger’s office were inundated with telephone calls last Thursday from hawkers in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). They claimed that the officials from the municipality had been mistreating them for the past two weeks.

When a journalist arrived at the scene near Tasty Snacks in Burger Street, a group of hawkers was caucusing about their plight.

“Our municipality is out of order – how can they say we must go and operate our business at the Eltivillas bus termi­ nal?” said one elderly lady. “Don’t they know that there’s no business down there?”

Ladies and youths produced their vendor’s licences which they had secured from the depart­ ment which deals with traffic control at the Makhado Municipality.

They claim that they are legal hawkers and request the municipality to stop chasing them from the streets.

“How will we support our families if we stop selling?” said Ms Florah Manenzhe (56), who started selling in the town’s streets in 1993. “I live in Tshikota, and I have got six mouths to feed.”

Emmanuel Muleya (29) has been a licensed RICA agent for the past three years. “I have seen

youths my age get into crime because there are no jobs available for most of us,” he said.

“They say we mustn’t conduct our business on this spot; where must we go now? All I am doing here is vuk’uzienzele (get on to your feet and do it yourself) but I am being ill treated. This is what musician BlackJahman sings about when he says municipalities persecute the hawkers.”

Another stall-owner, Ms Konanani Kwin­ da (54), who operates public phones and sells snacks, said she had never neglected to pay for her licence. “People are selling illegal ciga­ rettes publicly all over the town and they are doing nothing about it.

Why us? What wrong did we do to deserve this kind of humiliation?”

The spokesperson for the Makhado Munici­ pality, Mr Louis Bobodi, referred the newspaper to the Corporate Support and Shared Services’ office in the municipality. The human resources and labour relations manager, Adv Michael Makhado, acknowledged receipt of our media inquiry.

“Kindly take note that the email below has since been referred to the relevant directorate and our PR will get back to you in due course,” responded Adv Makhado.

“Our municipality is out of order – how can they say we must go and operate our business at the Eltivillas bus terminal?” said one elderly lady.

“Don’t they know that there’s no business down there?”

Stall owner Ms Konanani Kwinda (54) says that she is a licensed vendor.

Kennisgewing

Hoe gaan nuwe SEB sakelui beïnvloed?

Mokopane Besigheidskamer bied op 7 Februarie 2014 ‘n halfdag seminaar aan rondom die gewysigde swart ekonomiese bemagtingskodes (SEB) soos gepubliseer aan die einde van 2013.

Die gewysigde SEB kodes het ‘n wesenlike impak op besighede en, alhoewel die kodes eers vanaf Oktober 2014 deur agentskappe gemeet word, moet besighede al in Januarie 2014 met die implementering daarvan begin.

Die SEB kodes gaan onder andere ook bespreek word in die konteks van ander bestaande sektor kodes, asook die mynbousektor se SEB vereistes.

Die aanbieder is Louis Mclaren, ‘n spesialis op die gebied van SEB, wat al sedert die eerste SEB kodes se publisering in 2007 besighede bystaan om die spesifieke wetgewing te verstaan en die nodige voldoening daaraan te implementeer.

“Ons wil op die dag seker maak dat besighede die impak van die gewysigde kodes verstaan en ook die geleentheid bied om die vrae te vra wat nodig is,” sê Gerrit van der Veen, Mokopane Besigheidskamer se president. “Onder die nuwe kodes staar meeste besighede ‘n aansienlike verandering in SEB vlak­ ke in die gesig en dit is krities dat besluitnemers in­ gelig moet wees om die potensiële negatiewe te kan bestuur.” Die seminaar begin om 08:30 vir 09:00

by NG Hulp en Hoop Gemeentesentrum in HF Verwoerdstraat, Mokopane, en eindig om 13:00.

Koste beloop R50 vir ‘n lid van enige besigheid­ skamer, mits bespreking via sy besigheidskamer gedoen word, anders is dit R100. Besprekings en navrae kan by Mokopane Besigheidskamer gedoen word via e-pos by mokopane.bti@mweb.co.za of soggens by 015 491 8458.

A disgruntled group of hawkers in Makhado stand together and talk about their plight.

Sibiya said while the park could understand the public outcry and anger towards the management, it was critical for the public to have confidence in the park management. “The park is managed by adequately qualified officials who are able to make informed and appropriate decisions at any given time.”

According to Sibiya, the de­ cision to euthanize the animal was not taken lightly but based on the information from very experienced rangers’ assess­ ment that the animal was likely to attack tourist vehicles in the future. “It is for this reason that we appeal to our patrons to act in a responsible manner and give such information as quickly as possible, rather than share it on social media platforms.”

He said that, to bring clo­

sure to the matter, SANParks would need the co-operation of the visitors who had taken the video. “The law stipulates that evidence such as this should be accompanied by a written statement from eyewitnesses as the footage cannot be the only permissible evidence in order to sanction any fine against the alleged perpetrators.”

“Tourists need to change their behavior when on self-game drives … we drive this message in our communication at check-in points, on our brochures and on the permits. It is totally impos­ sible to have constant policing of holidaymakers as the park’s resources are already stretched with many operations going on at the same time,” concludes Sibiya.

The South African National Parks (SANParks) has responded to a public outcry on its decision to euthanize an elephant that had flipped over a vehicle belonging to a visiting British couple, injuring the occupants on 30 December 2013.

Speaking from the Kruger National Park, the managing executive of this iconic park, Mr Abe Sibiya, said the incident was a consequence of parks’ allowing people to enjoy the natural en­ vironment; unfortunately, some did so in an irresponsible man­ ner. “While it is expected in an environment such as the Kruger National Park that human and animal conflict will always occur, it is also vitally important that members of the public visiting various national parks should always adhere to the rules.”

The collection was documented from 2005 to 2011 in the Niani dis­ trict by Kruger and Mr Mathuvhelo Mavhetha and translated by Rev Pfananani Masase and Mrs Tshifhiwa Mashau.

It has been pro­ duced under the auspic­ es of a wider research project into local forms of musical art in South Africa, conducted by the School of Music at North West University (Potchefstroom Cam­ pus).

According to Kruger, the ngano project is an attempt to document as much as possible “of a rapidly disappearing art form. Ngano stories are of ancient, pre-colonial origin and have decreas­ ing value in a changing world.

Spesifieke dank het gegaan aan die P&L Fietsryklub, Hoërskool en Laerskool Louis Trichardt se onderwysers, familie, vriende, ouers van vriende en sommer almal wie ons ken.

“Ons grootste dank egter aan ons Vader wat vir CP hierdie talente en geleenthede bied. CP, ons gaan jou en jou vriende mis, maar geniet en gebruik elke oomblik!” sê Ralda.

Intussen hou hulle, soos ook baie Sout­ pansbergers, die jong CP dop ten opsigte van sy fietsryloopbaan.
