getrek, want as ek 140 km/h doen, doen hy dit ook, en wanneer ek spoed verminder na 60 km/h, ry hy dit ook en hou dieselfde spasie tussen ons,” het Luhan gesê.

Dit was toe, sê Luhan, dat hy sy pa skakel en sê hy vermoed hy word agtervolg. “My pa het my aangeraai om spoed te verminder en ‘n U­draai te maak om te sien of die bakkie my steeds agtervolg,” het Luhan gesê.

So gesê, so gedaan. Luhan het spoed verminder en by die piekniekstaanplek (sowat 15 km uit Polokwane) ingedraai om ‘n U­draai te maak. “Die volgende oomblik het die Navara voor my neus ingejaag,” het Luhan gesê.

Twee mans, beide gewapen met pistole, het uit die bakkie gespring en op Luhan afgestorm. “Die mans het verskriklik gevloek en die hele tyd vir my geskreeu: ‘Get out of the f@#king car! Get out of the f@#king car!’ Hulle was baie aggressief,” het Luhan gesê.

Luhan erken hy het bietjie opgevries, alhoewel hy die heel tyd vir homself gesê het om kalm te bly. “Ek het die venster afgedraai. Die volgende oomblik het die een man my aan die kraag gegryp en al my knope afgeruk. Dit is toe dat hulle my uit die kar uit ruk,” het Luhan gesê.

Volgens Luhan het die een gewapende man in sy voertuig ingespring en die ander een weer terug in die Navara. Beide het haastig weggejaag.

Oorbluf het Luhan besef hulle het nie sy selfoon, wat in sy sak was, gevat nie. Hy het dadelik die polisie geskakel vir hulp en daarna by een van die piekniektafels gaan sit en wag. “Dit is die snaaksste gevoel. Jy sien hoe ry die karre een vir een verby jou, salig onbewus van wat gebeur het. In ‘n sta­ dium het iemand daar gestop om toebroodjies te eet,” onthou Luhan.

Luhan sê die polisie was baie vinnig op die toneel. Blykbaar was daar volgens Luhan binne 15 minute ook ‘n polisiehelikopter in die lug om die Die 19-jarige Luhan Holtzhausen wys hoe die kapers hom aan die kraag gegryp het en kort daarna uit voertuig geruk het.

Wheels of justice finally starts turning in court

By Isabel Venter

Musina Mayor Muhloti Muhlope monitors progress of the road-maintenance team in Musina Nancefield.

Musina Municipality implements maintenance plan for potholes Municipal News

Road safety is a top priority for Musina Municipality, said Mayor Mihloti Muhlope.

She added that she was hap­ py that the municipality was successfully implementing its road-maintenance plan, with special emphasis on the repair of potholes.

Last Friday, Muhlope left her office to monitor the progress of the road-maintenance team, which is presently working tirelessly to repair potholes. She said: “Road safety has an im­ pact on everyone, whether you drive, walk or cycle. If the roads are well maintained, chances of fatal accidents become less and many lives are saved. We

are now heading towards the festive season where we expect huge volumes of traffic on our roads. We want to make sure that most of our roads are fixed and user-friendly during the festive season.”

She said the fact that the number of vehicle owners was increasing daily made the mu­ nicipality more aggressive when dealing with the issues of road repairs. “After repair­ ing the potholes, we will make sure that the roads are properly marked to meet the required standards. Road markings are important, because they provide guidance and information to drivers and pedestrians. They assist in minimizing confusion and uncertainty about the rules

of the roads, thereby helping the municipality in providing safer roads and better routes for easy traffic flow.”

When addressing some members of the road mainte­ nance team at their work sites, Muhlope commended them for their hard work and dedication towards the improvement of the municipality’s road network.

The mayor encouraged all road users always to be re­ sponsible.

“All people have the re­ sponsibility to ensure that their actions on our roads do not impact negatively on the lives of others. The festive season is just around the corner and we should all make sure that we stay alive.”

Malaria outbreak remains concern Health and welfare

The National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) recently announced that scientists are stepping up their surveillance of South Africa’s malaria-control programme. The NICD’s announcement followed only days after the National Department of Health (DoH) issued an urgent malaria alert at the end of October.

Shortly before the kick-off of National Malaria Week (6 to 10 November), the Southern African Development Community also added their con­ cerns about the 2017 South African malaria season (which peaked in May) being far worse than the previous year.

According to the DoH, higher-than-normal num­

MAKHADO CARE GROUP IS A NON PROFIT ORGANISATION WHICH ASSISTS WITH THE CARE OF CANCER PATIENTS IN THE MAKHADO AREA CONTACT DETAILS: Dr Casper Venter: 082 857 0022 Dr Emil Gaiger: 082 892 8862 Jernay Mcleod: 083 403 5752 Angela Brennan: 082 902 6271

bers of malaria cases were being reported in the malaria transmission areas (Vhembe and Mopani district) in Limpopo. This also included cases on farms along the Lephalale River, Waterberg and in Bushbuckridge in Mpumalanga.

Both the NICD and DoH agreed that these elevated incidences of malaria were caused by high rainfall, humidity and ambient temperatures.

In addition, 2017’s unusually mild winter further allowed mosquitos and parasites to continue breed­ ing and in turn led to an early start to the current season, which began in August.

“While the several thousand confirmed cases in 2017 were far fewer than the 67 000 cases reported in the malaria epidemic of 2000, it is a significant increase on 2016. The rise is causing concern among officials, who are stepping up their scrutiny of SA’s malaria control programme,” said the NICD. According to the NICD’s deputy director, Ms Lucille Blumberg, outbreaks (like the one currently experienced) must not simply be chalked up to the changes in the weather. “…[we] always need to check the quality of any spraying programme, the presence of insecticide resistance and any change to the malaria vectors,” said Blumberg.

In the meantime, the DoH has increased its efforts to combat malaria. During a malaria week awareness visit to Mopani on Friday, 10 November, Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi said that the South African DoH had joined forces with five other health ministries, viz. those from Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland and Tanzania, to prevent cross-border malaria infection. With this project, the DoH hopes to celebrate zero malaria cases reported by 2020.

To date, the DoH’s malaria alert still stands, which means that travellers from non-endemic areas to malaria-endemic areas and countries are vulnerable to the disease and need to take preven­ tative measures such as taking a chemoprophylaxis or making use of a good bug repellant.

The wheels of justice might turn slowly, but they have started to turn in the trial of three men accused of illegally hunting rhinos in the Alldays area.

The three, Juda Nyembe (42), Matthew Pedro Ngwenya (46) and Thomas Sibanda (37), appeared in the Louis Trichardt Regional Court on Tuesday, 14 November, despite the fact that a fourth suspect, January Machava (41), is missing after his release on bail in 2013.

Machava is charged with his three co-accused on three counts of the hunting of specially pro­ tected wild animals and two counts of picking up or removing dead wild animals. The charges were brought against them in 2011 when they allegedly killed two rhinos and attempted to kill a third and hack off its horns. (The farms’ names are withheld to protect the owners from further poaching).

The four’s case was slowed down at first by Nyembe, Machava and Ngwenya, who brought an appeal to the North Gauteng High Court to be released on bail after they were initially denied bail, following their arrest. Their first bail application was denied since Machava and Ngwenya are Mo­ zambicans and could pose a possible flight risk.

Nyembe is a South African, but has previous con­ victions and criminal cases pending against him.

In their appeal, the three claimed that it was their first time in the Alldays area and that they had merely wanted to buy vegetables, and specifically watermelons, to re-sell at their respective business­ es in Gauteng. They further claimed that they had been strong-armed into admitting that they had been poaching in the area. All three were released after paying R5 000 bail money.

Following this, the case was further delayed when the State had to withdraw its case against a fifth suspect, Humbulani Reason Matutu (33), who

turned state witness.

The case finally started last week, when the court heard the police’s forensic report. Following this, it was Matutu’s turn to testify. He said he had been approached by Nyembe and Ngwenya during October 2011 to rent accommodation from him.

The two told Matutu that they were working at Venetia Mine and that they had a contract to buy stuffed animals.

Over the next three weeks, Matutu said he was asked to accompany them and the other accused to different farms. It was always Nyembe who asked him, claiming that it was “boring to travel alone”. Matutu and Nyembe would than drop off the co-accused on the farms. Matutu said that the co-accused would enter the farms by climbing through the fences. Matutu and Nyembe would then return to Alldays, where they would wait a day or two and then go fetch the other men again.

Matutu said that the men were always dropped off and entered the farms with a rifle and ammunition that they got from Nyembe’s bakkie.

Matutu said that, weeks later, he saw a notice in the Alldays Supermarket that offered a reward for information that could assist in tracking down the people responsible for hunting two rhinos on the very farms where he had seen Nyembe drop off the other accused.

The farmers who offered the reward alerted the police and it was arranged, said Matutu, that he would telephone Nyembe to tell him of a certain farm where they could hunt more rhinos.

Two days later, Machava, Nyembe and Ngwenya were arrested during a police road block. Matutu testified that, shortly before this, he had had a meeting with Nyembe and his co-accused. During this meeting, they had pressed Matutu for more details about the “rhinos” to be shot.

After Matutu’s testimony, the case was post­ poned until 3 and 4 April next year.

Drie jaar vonnis vir gesteelde koelboks Hofnuus

‘n Zimbabwiese man is hierdie week drie jaar tronk toe gestuur, nadat hy in besit gevind is van ‘n gesteelde koelboks.

Die 20-jarige James Marashwa van Zimbabwe is Maandag swaar gestraf in die Louis Trichardt Streekhof, waar hy skuldig be­vind is op ‘n klag van die besit van gesteelde goedere.

Marashwa is op 15 Oktober 2016 gearre­steer, nadat die gesteelde koelboks (wat gebuit is tydens ‘n inbraak by die Bam-gesin se huis op die plaas Elandspruit naby Elim) in sy besit gevind is. Die gesin het die oggend vroeg wakker geword en kort daarna besef dat iemand deur die loop van die aand by hulle ingebreek het. Huisraad ter waarde van ongeveer R19 500 is gesteel.

Marashwa is aangekeer nadat plaaswerkers die inbrekers se spore vanaf die huis begin volg het.

Een van die plaaswerkers, Elvis Mabasa, het vir die Staat hieroor getuig.

Mabasa het aan die hof gesê dat die spore maklik was om te volg, want die grond was nog klam van die reën. Hy het verder gesê dat hulle drie mans gesien het, maar dat twee weggehardloop het nadat hulle iets op die grond neergegooi het. Dit sou later aan die lig kom dat dit van die goedere was wat gesteel is by die Bams.

Mabasa het gesê hy en ‘n me­dewerker kon daarin slaag om Marashwa te vang. Volgens Mabasa het Marashwa die koelboks in sy hande gehad.

Die hof het Marashwa skuldig bevind en hom drie jaar direkte gevangenisstraf sonder die keuse van ‘n boete opgelê.

Old green ID book still remains valid Legislation

The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has dismissed rumours that the lifespan of the green barcoded ID book comes to an end on 31 March 2018.

“No such announcement has been made by the department,” said DHA spokesperson Thabo Mokgola on Tuesday.

Mokgola added that they wished to make it clear that the green barcoded ID book

remained a legal form of identi­ fication and would continue to be legal until such time that the Live Capture System had been rolled out to all DHA offices to enable South Africans to apply for Smart ID cards at their nearest offices.

“The department has developed a plan to systematically phase out the green ID book and ultimate­ ly consolidate the restoration, common citizenship, identity and dignity to South Africans,” Mokgola added.

Mokgola said that the depart­ ment called on South Africans to apply for Smart ID cards at any of the 180 offices equipped with the Live Capture System.

“In addition, the department has established a partnership with FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and ABSA to create an online portal where clients can lodge their application without visiting a Home Affairs office. To apply, visit ehome.dha.gov.za/echan­ nel,” Mokgola concluded.

Jong sakeman oorleef kapingsdrama (Vervolg van p. 1) Helaas, die soektog was te­ vergeefs en ‘n padblokkade buite Polokwane het ook niks opgelewer nie.

Luhan sê hy is seker hy is dop­ gehou en dat die roof baie goed vooraf beplan is. Van die gebeure wat sy suspisie aanwakker, sluit in die feit dat hy daardie dag met sy sussie se voertuig gery het, want sy eie bakkie was in vir

herstelwerk. “Steeds het hulle presies geweet wie ek is en dat ek kontant by my gehad het. Toe hulle my uit my voertuig geruk het, was hulle nie eers gepla daaroor om my vir my selfoon te deursoek nie. Hulle wou net die kar hê,” het Luhan gesê.

Luhan het gesê dat die roof hom baie ontstel het, en dat hy hoop die polisie kry minstens sy sussie se voertuig terug. “Die

polisie het vir my ‘n SMS gestuur waarin hulle sê die saak is nou ‘n inter-provinsiale saak, want die Pajero is in ‘n ander provinsie opgemerk,” het Luhan gesê.

Luhan is dankbaar hy leef. “Ek is al ‘n vorige keer beroof, so dit het my gehelp om kalm te bly. Dit help nie jy baklei terug nie. Geen geld is ‘n lewe werd nie. Jy kan altyd weer môre geld maak,” het Luhan gesê.

Vhembe admits problems with struggling accounts department

By Isabel Venter

The sending out of monthly statements is surely recognised as an acceptable and professional business practice, but apparently not for the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM).

Ever since the VDM took over as water authority from the Makhado Municipality a few years ago, things have gone from bad to worse. For some months now, residents have been complaining that they are no longer receiving any account from the VDM. Upon closer inspection it would seem that not only the VDM’s accounts depart­ ment is in shambles, but also the depart­ ment responsible for reading the meters.

In a written response to a media enquiry, the VDM admits they are experiencing problems with their accounts department.

“As a communicator, I have received

complaints of a lack of statements since September,” said VDM spokesperson Mr Matodzi Ralushai on Tuesday, 14 November.

The newspaper has spoken to several consumers in Louis Trichardt, however, who say they have been struggling with their monthly accounts since Novem­ ber 2016. In one case, more than once, payments did not reflect and then the consumer struggled for months to have her account rectified.

Another account holder said he has been struggling for the past three months to get an account. This consumer said that he was able to confirm telephonically with the municipality that he owed them R11.47.

A third consumer said that he had not been receiving accounts, either by email or post, since June this year.

“I want to make it clear to VDM that I

will pay them what they are due, but only if they bill me. If they decide to only bill me six months down the line, then we will have to arrange a repayment schedule because I will simply not be able to pay an arrears account once off,” said the consumer.

In all the cases it has become the con­ sumers’ responsibility to phone the VDM to get their accounts.

When pressed for more answers regard­ ing problems in their accounts department, Ralushai said that the VDM had taken a serious look into the accounts being circulated. He was not particularly clear about the reasons why accounts do not get sent out, simply saying: “… the appointed service provider responsible for revenue enhancement or billing is busy putting up systems to ensure ef­fective billing systems for district municipality clients.” Ralushai said that the accounts issue would be resolved on an urgent basis, but that there were “some delays due to internal processes.”

Asked about the im­ pact this billing cri­sis “It’s really sad what we have has had on the mu­nici­ been going through for the past pality’s re­v enue, Ra­ six years. What have we done to lushai was even vaguer. deserve this humiliating uncon­ stitutional treatment?” Makhadi “Customers will soon wanted to know. get statements, as billing Makhadi further pointed out is critical for municipal that the supply of water must revenue.

Maybe we are un­ desirable. We are treated like we are not human beings. It hurts so bad,” Makhadi wrote.

To add insult to injury this week, repairs to the leak were delayed when the VDM had to scramble to first find, and then appoint, a contractor to do the work. It was only by late Tuesday afternoon that the leak was repaired to such an extent that the municipality could start pumping water again.

Answers few as town’s taps again run dry amidst sweltering heat

By Isabel Venter

Louis Trichardt residents know this scenario all too well - hot weather and a complete absence of household water, which do not make for pleasant living.

If residents were irritated on Monday when the water supply started to dwindle (for the ump­ teenth time this year), they were fuming by Tuesday when taps ran completely dry. On Tuesday morning, several people were spotted transporting makeshift containers filled with water.

Communicating with the Vhembe District Municipality also remains a maddening ex­ perience. What is even more frustrating is that little to no advance warning is given about water shortages, and when there is a water shortage, the VDM (Vhembe District Municipality) simply remains mute.

“There is a burst pipe at

Albasini Dam, which is being repaired,” was the only response the newspaper got from the VDM when enquiring about the new shortage on Tuesday. There was no indication of how long the taps will remain dry or where residents can get emergency water supply.

The town’s latest water short­ age also did not bode well for the forthcoming hot summer holidays. According to local DA ward councillor Mr Brian du Plooy, it would seem that the pipe had already ruptured over the weekend. The leak apparently went undetected for the whole weekend, hence the water supply started to dry up.

“Sometimes, it prompts one to think that the residents of Louis Trichardt are getting punished for some undeclared reasons,” wrote resident Mr Elton Makhadi to councillor Du Plooy on the Louis Trichardt Water Shedding Facebook page.

Bernice Meiring, ‘n Graad 10-leerling van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, het weggestap met van dié mees gesogte toekennings tydens die Nasionale Eisteddfod se gala-aand wat op 10 November in Pretoria gehou is. Sy is nie net aangewys as die Beste Algehele Senior Presteerder nie, maar is ook gekroon as een van die toppresteerders in die Noordelike Streek en een van die top 3% in Suid-Afrika.

Sy het ook weggestap met die Ambassadeurstoekenning vir haar Afrikaanse oorredingstoespraak. Verder is Bernice ook aangewys as die Beste Senior Presteerder in Spraak en Drama en die itemwenner in Afrikaanse Eie Keuse poësie in Graad 10. Sy het ook nog vier goue medaljes as kategoriewenner in vier items ontvang, naamlik Afrikaanse poësie, redenaars, Engelse en Afrikaanse poësie (eie keuse).

AgriSA sê hulle gaan nie protesoptrede steun nie Landbounuus

Stormsterk rukwinde het Chris en Sonja Greyling se hoen­derboer­dery verlede Woensdagaand (15 November) lamgelê, nadat twee van sy vyf hoenderhokke op die plaas se dakke afgewaai is. Foto’s verskaf.

Rukwinde lê hoenderboerdery lam Deur Andries van Zyl

twee van my hoenderhokke se sinkdakke is afgewaai,” het Chris gesê. Die krag van die rukwinde was so sterk dat een van die hoenderhokke se dak sowat 200 m verder in die buur­ man se plaas beland het. “Die skade beloop sowat R30 000 per hoenderhok,” het Chris gesê.

Hy is platgeslaan as gevolg van die skade, aangesien hy geen versekering op die strukture het nie. “Dit lê ons lam. Binne sekondes het die rukwinde my uitgehaal. Hoenderboerdery loop in siklusse. Elke twee

weke moet nuwe hoenders in die hokke gesit word. Met die stukkende hoenderhokke het my boerdery op slag met 70% verklein,” het Chris gesê.

Chris was Woensdag hierdie week bietjie bekommerd, want die twee hokke se dakke is nog nie herstel nie en sy volgende besending kuikens is reeds klaar bestel en betaal vir einde November. “Ons sal enige hulp en raad van watter aard ookal waardeer,” het Chris gesê. Hy kan geskakel word by tel. 082 588 8596.

‘n Week ná ‘n erge storm hulle getref het, is die Greyling-gesin steeds besig om planne te beraam om hulle hoenderboerdery weer op die been te kry.

Chris en Sonja Greyling van die plaas Marton (sowat 27 km vanaf Louis Trichardt op die Vivo-pad) het tydens verlede Woensdagaand se donderstorm ernstige skade gely. Binne ‘n kwessie van sekondes het sterk rukwinde sowat R60 000 se skade aan hulle hoenderhokke aangerig. “Die wind het sowat 15:00 begin waai. Aanvanklik nie so sterk nie, maar hier van 16:00 het dit al hoe sterker begin waai,” het Chris gesê.

Chris-hulle het vyf groot hoenderhokke, elk met sowat 1 500 hoenders daarin, op die plaas. Hulle is afhanklik van hul hoenderboerdery. “Omtrent 18:00 het ek stof by die hokke gesien en die volgende oom­ blik was dit spierwit van die reën. Toe dit paar minute later Een van die hoenderhokke se dakke wat tydens die storm af­ bietjie opklaar, toe sien ek eers gewaai is. Foto verskaf.

Dan Kriek, president van AgriSA, het Maandag in ‘n persverklaring gesê dit is uiters belangrik dat misdaadbestryding ‘n inklusiewe proses moet wees, omdat dit ‘n probleem is wat álle Suid-Afrikaners raak.

Volgens AgriSA is Suid-Afrikaners keelvol vir misdaad en dít raak toenemend sigbaar, omdat gemeenskappe opstaan en aan protesaksies deel­ neem. “AgriSA is genader om deel te neem aan ‘n protesoptrede na die Uniegebou in Pretoria wat op Saterdag, 25 November, gaan plaasvind. AgriSA het sy lede-organisasies (wat nege provinsiale, 25 bedryfsorganisasies en 21 korporatiewe lede insluit) tydens ‘n uitgebreide konsultasieproses hieroor geraadpleeg. Verteenwoordigers van lede-organisasies het AgriSA op 13 November by die vergadering van AgriSA se landelike beveili­ gingskomitee in Centurion versoek om nie aan die protesoptrede deel te neem nie,” het Kriek gesê.

Volgens AgriSA het hulle na raming 28 500 boerelede en dra die belange van bykans 800 000 plaaswerkers op die hart. “Sonder uitsondering het verteenwoordigers tydens die vergadering besluit dat dit nie nou die regte tyd is om by verdere protesoptredes betrokke te raak nie, omdat Swart Maandag die boodskap reeds baie duidelik aan die regering oorgedra het dat sy burgers nou genoeg gehad het van misdaad. Die gevoel onder ons lede is dat die inklusiewe karakter van Swart Maandag nou verpolitiseer kan word en dat politieke onder­

tone ons nie nader aan ‘n oplossing sal bring nie,” het Kriek gesê.

Volgens Kriek is voedselsekerheid die uitkoms van ‘n gesamentlike poging tussen kommersiële en opkomende landbouers en plaaswerkers en daarom is dit belangrik om inklusiewe oplossings vir die misdaadkwessie te vind. “Ons fokus is nou om oplossinggedrewe te werk. Dis nou die tyd vir nugtere leierskap en kalmte. Landsburgers, boere en plaaswerkers moet hande vat en misdaad op grondvlak in ons eie gemeenskappe blootlê,” het Kriek gesê.

Kriek het gesê boere wil inklusief deelneem aan die proses om oplossings vir die reusagtige misdaadprobleem te vind en om die boodskap by die regering tuis te bring dat hulle ontevrede is met die manier waarop misdaad tans bestry word. “AgriSA veroordeel ten sterkste alle vorme van plaasgeweld en sal steeds die regering bly beïnvloed om dit effektief te bekamp … Ons en die polisie is tans besig om oplossings te vind vir effektiewe implementering van strategie en beleid om landelike veiligheid te verbeter. Ons beskou hierdie proses, asook die oplossings wat dit kan bied, as ‘n prioriteit,” het Kriek gesê.

Kriek het gesê AgriSA verstaan dat boerdery­ gemeenskappe gefrustreerd is, maar dat dit nou die tyd is om saam te staan om die euwel van misdaad inklusief te beveg. “Misdaad kan ons verdeel, maar ons moet dit eerder as ‘n geleentheid gebruik om aan gesprekke deel te neem waarby almal betrokke is,” het Kriek gesê.

De Klerk finally starts serving sentence Court News

After a long period on the run, the 62-year-old Kevin Mark de Klerk reappeared in the Si­basa Regional Court on 10 November.

De Klerk was rearrested in Cape Town om 8 November.

His co-accused, Mark Harold Powell, however, has not yet been arrested.

De Klerk and Powell were owners of the NEWSA Multipli­

cation Scheme in Thohoyandou.

They were arrested by the Scorpi­ ons in 2006 for fraud and money laundering. After a protracted trial in the Sibasa Regional Court, the two were finally found guilty in 2013 and sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment for defraud­ ing former Venda government employees and pensioners out of about R42 million.

After being sentenced, De Klerk and Powell were granted leave to appeal and their bail was

Dream comes true as first guardians get certificates Nature Conservation

In 2013, local baobab expert Dr Sarah Venter (right) had a vision of creating a culture of caring for the Limpopo environment by training rural women to nurture baby baobabs until they are three metres tall and able to withstand threats and thrive on their own. Here she is pictured with one of the 48 excited project supporters at his little Baobab. The guardians are all men and women from the Niani region in the far north of Venda. Photo supplied.

On 14 November, the first eight Baobab Guardians (pictured) received their certificates as part of Dr Sarah Venter’s Baobab Guardians Project. They are all women from the Niani region in the far north of Venda. Photo supplied.

In 2013, local baobab expert Dr Sarah Venter from Louis Trichardt had a vision of creating a culture of caring for the Limpopo environment by training rural women to nurture baby baobabs until they are three metres tall and able to withstand threats and thrive on their own.

They planted out their first seedlings in Decem­ ber 2014, and so the Baobab Guardians Project was born. Sarah’s dream was to have 50 trees planted in the wild by the end of 2017 and on 14 November the dream came true.

With huge cumulus clouds building up in clear blue skies, the last of the 50 baby Baobabs were planted by one of 48 rural Baobab Guardians, women and men of the Niani region in the far north of Venda, a few kilometres away from the Kruger Park’s Pafuri gate and the Limpopo River.

Here most people grow up in the shade of a baobab tree but never think they might one day become a proud guardian for the benefit of their descendants of 200 years to come.

This care and vision were celebrated on that day when the first eight Baobab Guardians got their certificates for protecting their “babies” up until they had grown three metres tall and now “releasing” them for the benefit and joy of their grandchildren’s grandchildren.

The guardians donned their best Minwendas (traditional Venda attire) and started dancing as soon as their feet touched the ground as they got out of the taxis at the church between baobabs and mopanis in Zwigodini village. Between each certificate, the audience ululated and the guardian did a deep bow (losha) and a little dance.

Part of Sarah’s dream was to release her in­ formative Little Baobab book in Tshivenda for all locals to use and to spread the message of a culture of caring at rural schools, churches and crèches. This also came to fruition on 14 Novem­

ber when each delegate of the 100-odd audience got their own Tshivenda booklet, Bugu Thukhu ya Muvhuyu Muhulu, with big smiles and excitement.

“Our tree in our language,” said the VhaMusanda of Muswodi and held the booklet in the air. In the corner sat Sarah in her minwenda, dead tired but deeply happy that all of them had come so far on this worthy road.

“The baobab tree takes 200 years to produce its first fruits, can live for over 1000 years, survives and even flourishes in almost desert-like condi­ tions; but even this mighty giant is succumbing to the environmental impact created by our civiliza­ tion. While fruit collection remains a sustainable practice, and doesn’t in any way impact on the ecology or wellbeing of baobabs, studies show that the survival of baobab populations is being threatened in the long-term by environmental degradation and climate change,” said Sarah. She added that as impressively huge as baobabs are, like all growing things they begin very small and baobab seedlings don’t survive easily these days.

“Their tasty young tender shoots get eaten up by livestock such as goats, nor can they tolerate drought at this young age, so it’s rare for a seedling to last the three years it requires until reaching self-sufficiency in the wild,” said Sarah.

Sarah also thanked all her wonderful supporters, including Afke and Liesbeth from the Netherlands, Melissa Krige from Platbos Forest Reserve & African Tree Essences, the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, Bonga Foods and the Bonga Foundation, who has generously given sufficient seed funding to get this project started, Sevenhills Wholefoods for supporting the writing and printing of the first baobab booklet, and support also received from Cosmetic Ingredients, Meester Masjineering, Graham Barker, Park School (Bournmouth), Murry and Sally Smyth, Lather, Tri-K Industries and Protec Botanica.

New owners for Bridge Motors Ford Kuga

Kia Soul

By Anton van Zyl

Mazda CX5

One of the oldest and biggest motor dealers in Louis Trichardt, the Bridge Auto group, was recently sold to Unitrans Automotive.

The transaction, however, does not affect the management of the dealerships and business continue as usual, the only difference being that the dealerships now form part of a group with 110 branches countrywide.

The Bridge Motors name has a long history in the Soutpansberg. It started in 1971 when Johan Gilfillan started the Sigma Motor Corporation dealership in Louis Trichardt. The main product sold at that stage was the Chrysler cars. A few years later brands such as Mazda and Mitsubishi The new Kia Motors Building

Bridge

were added to the range.

In 1985 Sigma merged with Ford SA to create the South African Motor Corporation, known as Samcor. This development meant that Bridge Motors could offer Ford’s products to their clients. Seeing that there already was a Ford agent in town (Van Rooyen Ford), the two dealerships discussed the options, and Bridge Motors decided to buy Jannie van Rooyen’s business.

For almost three decades Bridge Motors was the place to visit when you would want to buy a new Mazda, Ford or Mitsubishi. In 2013 the Kia name was added to the mix, when Bridge acquired this dealership. This also meant that the existing showrooms were becoming crowded. To assist, new premises were built on the corner of Rissik and Grobler streets.

When Mazda parted ways with the Ford brand internationally in 2014, the display areas again became problematic. A year later, in 2015, Bridge Auto bought vacant land from the municipality next to the N1, adjacent to the cricket field. Shortly afterwards construction started on a new showroom for the Kia vehicles as well as a new home for Ford.

According to Rampie Gilfillan, the general manager of Bridge Auto, they hope to move into the new buildings early in 2018. The Makhado municipality is still battling to cope with the demand for electricity in town, but these problems will hopefully be sorted out within the next few months. The buildings did not form part of the Unitrans transaction and these would still be owned and managed by the Gilfillan family.

Once the new buildings are completed and electricity becomes available, the dealerships will move to their new homes. The Kia brand will move to the new premises next to the N1, as will Ford. The Mazdas will be on display in the building on the corner of Rissik and Grobler streets. The existing Bridge Auto service station will undergo a total revamp, making it much bigger and more accessible. A bigger convenience store will also be added.

Unitrans Automotive is one of the largest automotive dealer networks in South Africa. The company’s core brands include Toyota, GM, Nissan, Renault, BMW, Mini, VW and Audi. The trucking division includes Isuzu, Hino, MAN, Freightliner and FUSO. Apart from new and second-hand vehicles, the company also owns subsidiary companies such as Hertz Car Rental and Unitrans Insurance Limited.

The Figo may not be the belle, but it’s a reliable option

By Isabel Venter School is over and soon it is time to head off to university, but if you live in Louis Trichardt, that means lots and lots of travelling. If you are lucky enough that mom and dad can foot the bill for a reliable new car, why not have a look at the new Ford Figo Ambiente?

The Figo is perhaps not the Belle of the Ball, but more like the classic old Western movie, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Classified as a “small car”, the Figo is not built with sleek lines or even has the clichéed, toy-like looks of other small cars. That is the “ugly” part. (For those students hoping to get a lean, mean racing machine … we recommend you apply your imagination, there is nothing else for it).

But being “ugly” is a subjec­ tive opinion as beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. It is a differ­ ent story when you climb behind the steering wheel. The “good” part is the technology. Not only does the console have a sleek design, it also sports a sound system that will get any student’s heart racing to the latest beats.

MyFord, which is a first-in-class feature (comes standard in the Ambiente, meaning no extra cash needs to be forked out for this key feature), offers the student a platform for storing, mounting and charging mobile devices and MP3 players on the go.

There are two USB ports for mobile devices, an Aux-in port for iPod connectivity and Blue­ tooth. And for the old school, there is a CD/MP3 player as well.

We were impressed by how easy it was to set up the Bluetooth.

(Connecting your cellphone is really easy and one can talk over the speakers with limited wind noise disturbing the caller on the other side). The only drawback was that there was no memory card slot (for mega road trip lis­ tening). Also, if you have karaoke friends, you will have to endure this as the speakers in the Figo simply could not keep up when turned up to top volume.

And then there is the “bad” - the boot space. With only a 256-litre capacity (when the rear seats are pulled back) it will be­ come necessary to start packing light in order to have room left for the cooler box. (The back seats do not flip back completely either, so just keep that in mind too).

The interior, however, feels necessarily going to be a fast spacious for a car of the Figo’s drive back to college, especial­ dimensions, thanks to ample ly if driving against the wind. glazing and headroom.

Driving Regarding fuel, as students are always cash strapped, they will be glad to hear that the Figo can achieve an average fuel consumption of 5.9 litres per 100km, which should equate to a range of a claimed 765km between re­ fills (For those students head­ ing off to the Gauteng re­ gion, it will mean you will be able to reach your university and still have some Ready to spread their wings in the new Ford petrol left).

was a breeze with the 5-speed manual gearbox that delivered smooth transition.

What helps especially is Ford’s more compliant suspension that was tailored for local road con­ ditions. The Figo was really steady on the road for a small, budget car.

The steer­

ing wheel also offered precise and responsive steering. What did, however, take some getting used to was the small size of the rear- and side-view mirrors.

AD DESIGNED BY ZOUTNET PUBLISHERS

By Anton van Zyl So next year the last chicken is leaving the nest. The home will be quiet, the rooms will stay clean and there won’t be anyone continuously asking when the next meal will be.

But the young one needs a set of wheels to keep him moving for the next three or four years.

“The new Toyota 86 is soooo cool,” is his suggestion. “That won’t go down well with your mother. She’ll have nightmares about you sneaking off to Springs or Brakpan to take part in burnout competitions,” comes the reply.

“No – let’s go and have a look at the much more sensible, and better priced, Toyota Aygo.”

For starters, the basic Aygo’s price is just below R160 000, whereas the 86’s entry level will cost you about R450 000. That’s an almost R300 000 difference, which will have to come from some budget. This will mean that the ever-important new PC, with the GTX 1080 graphics card, no longer features on any Christmas wishlist. Some other items that will have to be scrapped from the list would be the second and third year’s tuition fees.

“But does the Aygo at least have a decent radio?” he pops the most important question that students ask when looking at vehicles. The Aygo in fact has a very sexy radio. It is the size of a junior iPad and sits in the centre of the console. It has a touch-screen, Bluetooth, a USB and even has buttons on the three-spoke steering wheel to

control the volume and answer the phone.

The Aygo on display was the X-Play Black version, which cost about R1 500 extra, but comes in a two-tone colour finish. It looks modern and definitely “student-like”. It is, however, not big and boot space is an official 168 litres. That is not much if you consider a really decent Cole­ man cooler box, with a 66-litre capacity, can hold 98 cans. Such a cooler box will obviously not fit in the back of the Aygo, and the student will have to go for the 8,5 litre box, which can only hold nine cans.

The other factor that seems to be important, is power. Here it is clear that the future student has very little knowledge of what is needed. He has heard that the Toyota 86’s two-litre engine puts out 147 kW, whereas the Aygo’s one-litre, three-cylinder puts out only 51kW. “Times have changed and so have expectations,” I tell him.

“When I grew up, the Volkswa­ gen Beetle was the go-to car, and when the 1600 engine was launched in 1971, it put out an amazing 37kW.” The reality is that his mother will be more comfortable know­ ing that the top speed is about 160km/h. The one-litre engine is also more than capable to hold its own against trucks. Compared to the Beetle out of the 70s, the Aygo is a fortress. It has front and side airbags, an anti-lock braking system, brake-assist and the Aygo X-Cite even boasts vehicle-stability control.

The Aygo X-Cite seems to

have triggered the sparkle in the student’s eyes. This model, which comes in at almost R190 000, has a sporty sunroof and 15” alloy mags.

Probably the biggest selling point of the Aygo, well at least for the parents who have to foot the fuel bill, is the consump­ tion. Toyota claims it gives 4,4 litres/100km on a combined cycle. That means that the future student can drive to Pretoria and come back on the 35-litre tank.

The Toyota 86 will only do just over 600km and that’s with a 50-litre tank.

What a parent really needs, is peace of mind. Toyota is, well, Toyota. There’s a reason why this brand has become synonymous with reliability in South Africa.

The Aygo has a three-year war­ ranty, but for a limited period the manufacturer also offers a threeyear 45 000 km maintenance plan as an added bonus at no cost. (Apparently this is for the first 300 customers countrywide.)

The Aygo is a very comfort­ able little commuter and the interior is spacious and modern.

With four people inside it may become a bit cramped, but then again, students should also be exposed to some discomforts.

The power is adequate and if you really need a bit of extra, switch off the aircon (which comes as a standard feature). The price is competitive, build-quality is good and it says “I’m trendy” without saying “I’m loaded”. So yes – a perfect student car.

Perhaps dad should go back and have another look at that Toyota 86 …

One could settle for the standard radio, but seriously, what impact will it have on a young university student’s image if he still needs an auxiliary cable?

Time running out to enter calendar competition Competition

The region’s camera enthusiasts can start entering their photos for the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror’s annual calendar competition. As was the case last year, the competition has a bit of a twist, as there is a limitation on the type of cameras eligible for use.

Last year the re­ quirement was that photos needed to be taken with cameras 50 years and older. This was quite a challenge, but the end result was one of the most in­ teresting calendars ever locally produced.

Local photographers were encouraged to use vintage cameras, some of them dat­ ing back almost 100 years.

The limitation for this year’s competi­ tion is slightly less stringent, as any pho­ to taken with a film camera can be en­ tered. The medium is black­and­white, which excludes all colour photos. The theme is, as usual, the Soutpansberg, meaning that photos not depicting the beauty and character of the region will not be considered.

One of the aims of the competition is once again to promote an interest in vintage photogra­ phy. For that reason, the newspaper makes avail­ able its selection of antique cameras to readers.

Most of the roughly 150 cameras on display can

still be used. Several outings have been organised during which enthusiasts were shown how to use such old cameras. At least two more outings are planned for November.

People interested in taking part in the compe­ tition are encouraged to contact the newspaper’s office at 015 516 4996/7 and speak to Anton, Andries or Isabel. Own (film) cameras can be used or a camera may be borrowed.

The easiest would be to collect film from the newspaper and we will develop it. Film and the developing chemicals are also available from several online stores, but it costs around R130 per film. Costs are being kept low as far as possible to encour­ age photographers to learn more about film (and even plate) photography.

At the end of No­ vember, the 12 best photos will be select­ ed from all the entries.

Each winner will re­ ceive R700 per photo chosen. The photos will form part of the 2018 calendar.

People interested in taking part in the compe­ tition may also enter photos of the Soutpansberg taken many years ago. In such cases it will be necessary to send us the negatives, which we will then quickly scan. The film negatives must accompany all entries, but these will be returned to the photographer.

MILE EN KERS2 MUTT MARK

Uitstallers word uitgenooi om ‘n stalletjie te bespreek vir die Gateway to Christmas Kersmark in Louis Trichardt op 2 Desember.

Die koste beloop R100 per stalletjie en sluit krag in vir dié wat dit nodig het. Ongelukkig word geen kosstalletjies toegelaat nie, maar wel ander lekkernye. Om ‘n stalletjie te bespreek, skakel Trieks Spies by tel 082 042 3365.

Die Kersmark sal saamval met die Louis Trichardt DBV se Mutt Mile. Deelname aan die 1,6 km kos R10 en R20 vir die 5 km. Daar is ook pryse in die troeteldier en eienaar dress­up kom­ petisie. Inskrywingsvorm is op die dag van die mark beskikbaar of kan vooraf by die plaaslike DBV se kantore afgehaal word.

Vir meer inligting hieroor, kan Alicia geskakel word by tel. 084 900 5332.

Help solve baobab flower pollination mystery Research

Die Zoutpansberger het verlede Donderdag besoek afgelê by Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis in Louis Trichardt om die inwoners meer vertel van die koerant se indrukwekkende kameraversameling van meer as 130 kameras. Anton van Zyl, eienaar van die Zoutnet koerantgroep, het nie net oor die kameras se geskiedenis gepraat nie, maar ook aan inwoners die geleentheid gegee om hierdie ou kameras van nader te besigtig. Afgeneem is van die inwoners wat die praatjie bygewoon het met van die ou kameras. Die oudste van die kameras wat die dag bespreek is, dateer uit 1898. Van links na regs is Bobby Eyssell, Wennie Gouws, Sannie Harris, Anton van Zyl, Hester Schoeman, Kobus Lubbe, Antjie Badenhorst en Kittie de Bruin (bestuurder van Ons Tuiste).

The annual Baobab Blitz has come around again and everyone has the opportunity to help find answers to the pollination mystery of the baobab flower.

The question remains: What is pollinating the baobab flowers? “Bet you thought it was bats, but did you know that scientists have never seen bats visiting baobab flowers in Southern Africa?” said the Baobab Blitz organisers.

Scientists therefore need the public’s help to find out what exactly is pollinating the baobab flower.

“This year, we will be adding to the data that was collected last year. Last year we found that only

hawk moths were visiting baobab flowers in South Africa, but to make absolutely sure of our conclu­ sions, we need to grow our observations and for this we need your help. If you have a baobab tree on your farm or in your garden, please register and help us find out,” said the organisers.

To register, send an e-mail to cath@vhem­ bebiosphere.org or WhatsApp or SMS to 071 498 7551. Alternatively, register on the Baobab Blitz Facebook-page or visit the website www.vhem­ bebiosphere.org.

“Baobabs have flowers that are big, white and open at night. They can either be pollinated by bats or hawk moths. Bats have been seen pollinating baobab flowers in East and West Africa, but have never been seen pollinating flowers in Southern Africa,” said the Baobab Blitz organisers. Baobab trees in the Soutpansberg area flower from October to December each year and the peak flowering season is in November.

What interested people need to do is set aside the evenings of 24 to 25 November and 2 to 3 Decem­ ber to monitor the baobab flowers. “Any baobab tree in Limpopo (Alldays, Vivo, Waterpoort, Mo­ pane, Musina, Tshipise, Pafuri) can be monitored.

Sit under one tree from 06:00 until 00:00 and record what is coming to the flower,” said the organisers.

SAHRC must probe death of 68 pregnant women Health & Welfare

Tydens die onlangse Bosveld Kunstefees in Polokwane is hierdie groep dansers van die Dance4Joy Skool in Louis Trichardt aangewys as die Beste Novelty Quartet Groep. Hulle is, van links na regs, Abigail Ramdau, Bonita Rheeder, Nduvho Mulaudzi en Matladi Mudau.

The Democratic Alliance Women’s Network (DAWN) in Limpopo filed a complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) on Monday to probe the deaths of 68 pregnant women who died in various hospitals across the province whilst in labour during the first financial quarter of the year.

According to a DA press release, this came to light during a Standing Committee for Public Ac­ counts hearing where the MEC for the Provincial Treasury, Mr Rob Tooley, gave insight into the financial mismanagement and woes of the Depart­ ment of Health.

“It is clear from these shocking statistics that the Limpopo Department of Health is nowhere

near achieving its Provincial Development plans to reduce maternal, infant and child mortality as aligned to Millennium Development Goal 5.

DAWN urges the SAHRC to prioritize this matter and commence with the investigations as a matter of urgency,” said the DA. According to the United Nations, the vast ma­ jority of maternal deaths can be avoided. “To this end, DAWN will launch a petition on the inefficient maternal health care by the Limpopo Department of Health to be tabled in Parliament. The DA sub­ mitted comprehensive parliamentary questions for written reply to the national minister of Health, Mr Aaron Motsoaledi, and we call on the minister for an urgent inquiry into these deaths. We call upon all families affected by this to contact DAWN in Limpopo,” said the DA.

Tydens die onlangse Bosveld Kunstefees in Polokwane is hierdie dansers van die Dance4Joy Skool in Louis Trichardt aangewys die algeheel beste hip-hop dansgroep gekroon. Hulle is, van links na regs, Megan Rheeder, Evette Geyser, Anwyll Buys en Dihan Pretoruis. Afwesig tydens die neem van die foto was Racheal du Plessis en Idaishe Betty Chando. Foto verskaf.

Die LUK’s het hulle verwelkom en pouse hulle gehelp om hulle stembande te ontwikkel.

Die aand het hulle almal by die rugbyveld bymekaar gekom saam met die KUK’s vir ‘n bietjie pret en werk. Hulle het ‘n klomp aktiwiteite regdeur die aand gedoen, met ‘n bietjie slaap natuurlik! Die volgende oggend het ons welpies wakker geword en verder

Die kleintjies het hard gewerk om van dit ‘n reuse sukses te maak. Harde werk word ook natuurlik beloon. Die Groentjiekoning en –koninging was Reynardt Pretorius en Maroné Pretorius.

Ons sê ook baie dankie vir Leandri Muller wat die toneel geksryf het en gehelp het om alles eksie-perfeksie te kry. Dankie ook vir elke LUK en onderwyser wat gehelp het om van die kleine welpies ware Triegies te maak.

In haar vrye tyd beoefen Juffrou van Tonder klavier, blokfluit en hou daarvan om te verf. Sy beplan om ‘n verskil te maak in kinders se lewens, soos die jaar en haar tyd by ons voortgaan.

Welkom by ons skool Juffrou, Juffrou is ‘n ware juweel.

- Anton Scholtz Senior Redakteur Anton Scholtz Ek skryf namens skrywers en die skool: “Tuiste”, “Een”, “Droom”.

Hierdie is voorbeelde van skuilname van skrywers en mense.

Maar hier is niks agter die gordyne nie, ons is hier om die ingewande van die skool en gemeenskap te bestudeer. Die lewende storie van ons samelewing uit te beeld. Die gedruis, mengelmoes, breinrook en vyekonfyt voor te stel...Die lewe en skool is soos die van ‘n stoomtrein: Al mag ons almal opgedeel word in die verskeie kompartemente van die trein, op pad na die doel; sal ons ALTYD een span een droom bly. En al mag ons soms ons stoom uitblaas en die top ontplof, al mag ons brandstof opraak…

Steeds sal ons aanhou veg en voortbeweeg tot ons einddoel.

Dit vat ‘n goed geoliede masjien om die sisteem te laat maak werk. Al die dele van die lokomotief moet saamwerk.

Net so moet alle leerders hul strydbyl

begrawe, die inisiatief en spanwerk saamvoeg om soos die lokomotief kragtig te kan voortbeweeg!

Die spore kruis mekaar, oor mekaar, langs mekaar en almal gemik op een doel.

Onderhoud met Me Beukes * Wa�er grade het juffrou, en waar het juffrou studeer?

BSc Biotegnologie vanaf Tuks BSc Honneurs in Forensiese Genetika vanaf Kovsies MSc in Dierekunde vanaf Tuks. Hoër Onderwysdiploma vanaf Unisa * Wat was juffrou se ervaring in Engeland en wat het juffrou daar gedoen?

In 2012 het ek laboratoriumwerk gedoen in Durham om navorsing op moord-walvisse te doen. Later het ek gaan skool gee in Maidstone. Ek glo elke plek in die wêreld het iets besonders. Engeland se pla�eland is asemrowend, veral in die herfs.

My ervaring was beslis aangenaam, want ek kon spesiale vriendskappe

ontwikkel en my kennis oor die wêreldgeskiedenis verryk. * Wou juffrou nog altyd `n onderwyseres geword het of nie?

Ek wou van kleins af `n wildbewaarder word. Dis my passie om die natuur te waardeer en te versorg.

Onderwys was eers ‘n opsie nadat ek die Here duidelik hoor sê het dat ek my HOD moet doen. * Het juffrou enige boodskap vir ons Triegies?

My boodskap aan elke Triegie is dat elkeen moet besef: Jy is op die aarde geplaas omdat jy`n eienskap

en `n doel het wat niemand anders het nie. Jy het dus die vermoë en roeping om `n verskil te maak en iets te beteken.

Baie welkom by ons skool juffrou. Dit is so waar ‘n eer om juffrou hier te hê.

Die aand het ons oornag in Sun1 waar ons ‘n slapelose nag verduur het met te veel opwinding. Die volgende oggend om 4HOO het die hane gekraai, sodat ons die vlug na Durban kon vang, waar die boot gewag het.

Ons het uit die hawe vertrek om 14HOO. Na ons eerste aand se nagrus word ons wakker met die Portuguese Eilande as ‘n uitsig. Ons het op die strand gedans en in die see geswem, om maar net ‘n paar te noem.

Die dae was kort en die aande pret. Elke

aand het Hoërskool Louis Trichardt die mense van Suid-Afrika gewys hoe ons kan dans...Glo my hulle ken nie het op die grond gesleep. ‘n Baie groot dankie aan die skool, Juffrou Cronjé en Juffrou.

Lang rokke en manelpakke het die aand onder die vonkelliggies versier. Deur die loop van die aand was daar paartjie foto’s geneem by die “Liefdes Hokkie”.

Die vloer was aan die brand, die musiek enigma�es en divers. Die vierkant was beslis iets om oor huis toe te skryf. Geel sterre en die Vryboom wat alles afrond.‘n Perfekte aand vol vreugde, jeug en pret. Alles te danke Deur Dillon aan die skool se Niemann Sosiale Komitee.

Atletiek Triegie atlete blink uit op provinsiale vlak!

Fietsry Deur Catrien Dekker

Vrydag, die 10de Maart, het ‘n bus vol kinders vertrek vanaf Hoërskool Louis Trichardt om hul talente op die tartanbaan in die Ou Pieter Mukaba stadium op die proef te gaan stel tydens die Limpopo Atle�ekkampioenskappe.

Vyf van ons leerders dring deur na die Suid-Afrikaanse kampioenskappe wat in Durban gehou is. Richard Lambert vir driesprong (o/17) , Phillip Apea-Adu vir 110m hekkies (o/17), Tebogo Masekela driesprong (o/15), Christelle Coetzer 1500m (o/16) en Lo’Care Madzhie (o/15).

Baie geluk en baie sterkte.

Een span, een droom!

Triegie se atlete skop stofwolke op!

Die 2017 atle�ekseisoen het met ‘n vaart weggespring en sommer die eerste Vrydag na die skool begin het, het die Bokkesport plaasgevind.

Die dag was vol opwinding, prêt en gesonde mededinging. #TrotseTriegie!!

Die Interhoër is deur Northern Academy aangebied op 24 Februarie by die Ou Pieter Mukaba stadium. Na ‘n vurige interne stryd tussen ons eie Triegies, is die heel beste verkies om ons te gaan verteenwoordig. Hulle het fantas�es presteer en ‘n hele klomp goue medaljes verwerf. Algeheel was ons skool derde, kort op die hake van PHS en Merensky.

Die atle�ek alleen was natuurlik nie die enigste geleentheid wat ons besig gehou het nie. Terwyl die atlete ons naam hooggehou het, was daar ‘n hele ander kompe�sie op die pawiljoene.”

Sing-Songs!” Die sangers het hulle longe uitgebrul vir ons skool. Soos Shakespeare sê: “All’s well that ends well”.

Ons sê baie dankie aan Juffrou van Niekerk, Juffrou Joubert en Mnr. Barnard wat gesorg het dat ons atlete met elke byeenkoms gereed was. Sowel as Juffrou van der Walt wat die sang beheer het.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se bergfietsspan het sommer van die begin van 2017 gewys wat in hulle steek.

Dit was daarom geen verassing toe die span, tydens die landswye skole Supr XCOliga, uitgeblink het nie. Die finaal is oor twee dae, 7 en 8 Oktober, beslis.

Veral die skool se meisiesspan het beïndruk deur ‘n algehele nasionale vierde plek te behaal in dié skoleliga.

Dit was ‘n trotse oomblik vir die Triegie-span toe die meisies aangewys is as die vierde beste meisiesspan uit 55 meisiesspanne in die land.

Wat die seuns betref het hulle ‘n algehele 42ste plek uit 75 seuns

skolespanne ingeneem, bygesê dat die seunsliga heelwat groter was.

Die Triegie meisies- en seunsspanne se gesamentlik puntetelling het uiteindelik aan Hoërskool Louis Trichardt ‘n algehele 18de plek in die top skoleliga uit 43 skolespanne besorg.

Weens die Triegies se bydrae tot die provinsiale span, eindig Limpopo algeheel 6de uit 11 provinsiale spanne, wat ingesluit het spanne van Namibië en Zimbabwe.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe Jakobus 1:22-25.

O

m na die Woord te luister, of dit te lees, is belangrik, maar dit is net die begin.

Ons moet dit toepas in ons lewens (vers 22).

Wat Jakobus bedoel is baie duidelik. Om die belangrikheid van gehoorsaamheid aan God se Woord tuis te bring, vergelyk hy die Skrif met ’n spieël. Dit help nie jy kyk in ’n spieël en sien jou gesig is vuil, of jou hare is deurmekaar, of jou lipstiffie is gesmeer en jy doen niks daaraan nie.

Dieselfde geld met die Skrif (verse 23-24).

Die Woord as spieël doen sy werk. Ons kyk daarin en die Bybel wys ons hoe ons geestelik lyk. Dan rus die verantwoordelikheid op ons. Gaan ons regmaak wat verkeerd is, of ignoreer ons dit?

Iemand wat ’n wedergebore kind van God is, sal deur God se genade regmaak wat verkeerd is, ’n dader van die Woord. As jy nie positief op die Woord van God reageer nie, het jy nie die Gees van God in jou nie.

Vers 25: Diep insien is anders as om net te kyk en dan weg te draai. Dit beteken om elke dag die Woord te ondersoek om dit te versta­ an en in jou lewe toe te pas. Dit is ook “die volmaakte wet van die vryheid.” Die Woord is ’n wet want dit is deur God gegee vir die doel om ons te leer en ons gedrag te bepaal, en dit is volmaak want dit is deur God gegee.

Die Woord is ook “die wet van vryheid” (Joh. 8:32; Joh. 16:13 ). Dit gee vrymaking aan elkeen wat die Skrif gehoorsaam en hulle daaraan onderwerp.

Daar is ook ’n belofte in vers 25. Die een wat doen wat die Woord sê “sal gelukkig wees in wat hy doen.” Mense soek na vervul­ ling in hul lewens, en dit is presies wat “ge­ lukkig” in vers 25 beteken. Moenie vervulling op enige ander plek soek as die Woord van God nie. Enige ander plek sal dit jou ontwyk.

Bestudeer en oordink die Woord van God en pas dit toe in jou lewe, en jy sal weet wat dit beteken om ’n lewe van vervulling te lewe.

As jy geseënd wil wees, wees ’n dader van God se Woord.

k wil graag baie geluk sê aan Laat Lente en Herfsakker se inwoners vir die pragtige en positiewe manier waarop hulle besluit het om hulle eerste basaar aan te bied. Ek is so trots op elkeen van julle wat julle gewig ingegooi het om hierdie basaar ‘n groot sukses te maak.

Soos met alles in die lewe, is daar ‘n paar wat swaarder trek aan die wa as dié wat net saamry.

Dankie vir elkeen van julle. Julle sal weet wie julle is.

Dit was vir my ‘n groot voorreg en voorbeeld om te kon sien wat ‘n mens kan vermag in so ‘n kort rukkie. Min mense weet dat julle hierdie basaar binne een-en-‘n-halwe maand gereël en uitgevoer het. Hoed af vir julle.

Julle het besluit julle is nie meer bereid om net bakhand te staan en die besighede en individue net te bly vra vir alles nie, maar iets in ruil te begin aanbied. Dit bly ‘n wensituasie vir almal.

Ek dink julle het julleself verbaas en oortref.

Hou die goeie werk staande.

Aan elke individu en besigheid wat op een op ander manier betrokke was, sonder julle kon dit nooit so ‘n groot sukses gewees het nie. Baie dankie aan elkeen. Daar is net te veel om op te noem.

Indien iemand meer inligting wil bekom oor die basaar se uitkoms, is julle welkom om my te skakel by 083 297 6925.

Ons Tuiste vermorsel opposisie in ligafinaal Deur Andries van Zyl

Die span van Ons Tuiste het verlede Donderdag as algehele wenners van die Louis Trichardt Rolbalklub se besigheidsliga uit die stryd getree. Die span het bestaan uit Jaco Esterhuizen (senior en junior), Ankia Engelbrecht en Lossie Esterhuizen. Voor, van links na regs, staan Ankia, Kittie de Bruin (president van die Louis Trichardt Rolbaklub) en Lossie. Agter staan Jaco junior en senior.

Die Deadly Deacons-span van die NG Kerk Soutpansberg is in die finaal van die Louis Trichardt Rolbalklub se besigheidsliga uit die eerste posisie geboender en moes vir die tweede keer in die liga met ‘n tweede plek tevrede wees. Hulle is ook saam met die Dopperspan aangewys as die span met die beste gees in die liga. Van links na regs staan spanlede Heine de Jager, Kittie de Bruin (president van die Louis Trichardt Rolbalklub), Leonie de Jager, Andries van Zyl en Carel Volschenk.

Ons Tuiste se wen die aand het hulle in die eerste plek ingeskiet met ses punte en ‘n ongelooflik punteverskil van +27 punte teen hul opponente. Die Deadly Deacons moes vir die tweede agter­ eenvolgende keer tevrede wees met ‘n tweede plek, ook met ses punte, maar met ‘n punteverskil van +17.

Die NG Kerk Soutpansberg se Deadly Deacons-span en die Gereformeerde Kerk se Dopperspan sou hulself dalk as die gunstelinge geag het om weg te stap met ‘n wen in die finaal van die Louis Trichardt Rolbalklub se besigheidsliga, maar ‘n wen was nie een van hulle beskore nie.

Tien spanne het mekaar verlede Donderdag in die derde en laaste wedstryde van die liga gepak. Die Deadly Deacons en Doppers het die finaal ingegaan,

beide met vier punte vir twee oorwinnings op die telbord en ‘n punteverskil van +15 elk. In die derde plek was die span van Ons Tuiste, ook met vier punte maar met ‘n punteverskil van +14.

Reeds vroeg die aand het die vier top spanne gewys hulle bedoel besigheid. Die Deadly Deacons moes verwoed speel om ‘n voorsprong te probeer hou en het die Doppers naelskraaps geklop. Ons Tuiste se span het gekook en gemaklik hul oppo­ nente, die Sewing Centre­span, die loef afgesteek. Die span van Bridge Auto het op hulle beurt
